JACOB JUSTEN McHenry, Illinois DUNDEE IS HUMBLED BY LOCALS IMKNKY COMES BACK INTO ITS OWN AND LICKS DUNDEE Joy and .confidence was once more restored into the hearts of the Mc­ Henry high school team as well as ttyeir loyal following of fans at* the local gymnasium last Saturday even­ ing, at which time the home* lads lieked the Dundee five to a frazzle. McHenry was right and when we say right we mean that every member of the team played splendid ball. The Bonslett brothers, as forwards, played the games of their lives, while Rich­ ardson, G. Bacon and Miller, as guards, were in the game every minute. Rich­ ardson was a bit off color in the first half and gave way to "Boley" Miller, who played his usual strong game. G. Bacon, at guard, put up one of the best games that he has played this season and showed a vast improvement over all previous efforts, while Pet- esch, at* center, used his "dome" to the very best advantage thruout. Dundee came to McHenry with the beBt kind of a record and the local fol­ lowers of the sport, were a bit disap­ pointed at their showing here, as they really expected them to give McHenry a close rub as did the county seat five. E. Sternberg and Havercamp were a little inclined to be rough. They were cautioned time and time again, but in spite of this they were kept in the game. Outside of the roughness dis­ played by these two players, every­ thing passed off nicely. That the Dun- deeites keenly felt the sting of defeat was quite evident when the team left the floor, as they even forget them­ selves to such an extent that McHenry was obliged to leave without being accorded the customary school yell. The line-up of the two teams as well as the scores follow: Dundee (22) Gothard R. F. M. Sternberg L. F. Havercamp C. E. Sternberg R. G.

By winning this game in such a de­ cisive manner confidence once more reigns among the McHenry players, who are now out after the county championship in real earnest. They are now putting in every mfinute of available time in preparation for the big game at Woodstock next Saturday evening. "Beat Woodstock" is their slogan and with this foremost in their mipds the boys will go over to the county seat with the intention of beat­ ing the enemy right in their own lair. The McHenry players hope that a goodly number of fans will accompany the team on this occasion, as they feel that the presence of familiar faces along the side lines will encourage them and will probably mean the win­ ning of the championship of McHenry county. Quite a number of fans from here are planning to attend and it is hoped that at least a half dozen or more sleigh loads of our people will go over* Just to make the boys exert them­ selves a bit more, a number of business men and loyal fans are getting to­ gether for the purpose of springing a little surprise on the McHenry high school team in case that they win the county championship. However, the surprise will be "sprung" only in the event that the high school basket ball honors of McHenry county are won. The McHenry team will journey to Hebron this evening, where they will meet the Hebron highs for the first time this season. Hebron has always proven a worthy foe for McHenry and the boys expect to meet with stiff opposition there. A number of good games are still to be played in McHenry and the fans can rest assured that they will be giv­ en the opportunity of witnessing a few more hair-iising games before the sea- on closes. > Guy (in geometry): •„ ^pubtraot by 2." We are all working hard On those dreadful examinations. Two of the junior girls have been sporting new blue blouses. Current events were discussed Tues­ day morning by Dorcas FOBS and Va- rina Wentworth. The pupils from the grades are mak­ ing good use of thie period given them for exercise in the gymnasium. The German portion of high school was greatly pleased with the news of the success of the Oertfcan army in battle last week. Mother of high school pupil: "Doc­ tor, I can't understand what the trouble can be. She is so despondent, has no appetite and 'keeps mumbling in her sleep." "Heels together, head up, chin in." The sophomores have organized. The officers eleoted are: President, Winifred Bradley; vice president, Lil­ lian Stilling; secretary-treasurer, Paul Stephenson. The pupils who are excused from some of the examinations On account of an average of 90% never appreciated anything so much. They really think it pays .to study hard. Doctor (examining pupil): , "Heart in excellent condition; lungs perfect. Ah (feeling head), here is the trouble. Do you feel those peculiar bumps on her head? Her brain is expanding from the heat." Pupil: "Whose wouldn't get hot with those exams?" The Plxiti Arc Coming On Friday and Saturday nights, Feb. 12 and 13, you will be given the oppor­ tunity of seeing the largest array of nationalities at the school auditorium that ever appeared in McHenry. John Bull, with his proud walk and cockney accent; Michael O'Reilley, with his shallalah; the Jap from the Flowery Isle; Uncle Sam, with long strides and boastful tone, etc., will all be there to bring out the characteristics of their native land. ' The pupils of the public school have been working long and en­ thusiastically on this juvenile fairy spectacle, which has had very brilliant successes wherever it has been pro­ duced. Many of the costumes for this operetta must be rented, requiring some expense. Be sure and reserve one of these dates for attending! More next week. . • McHenry ice cream is manufactured and sold the year round, summer and winter. C. Unti. WILL HAVE NEW ICE NAN M. E. CHURCH NOTES Junior league, 2:30 p. m.
