Valadictory By Cecelia Thrtines A piano selection by Alida Freund was given at the close of the address after which the valadictory wa3 given by Cecelia Thennes, in which she bade farewell to her classmates and high school and said that the class of 1928 would neyer feel that their school has gone out of their lives. The most important moment arrived in the presentation of diplomas by E. E. Bassett, a member of the high school board of education, who also spoke words of encouragement to the class. And so another year has been successfully completed and closed in the annals of the McHenry high school. Class Day Program Members of the graduating class of 1928 presented a varied Class Day program in the high school auditon ium on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock amid a stage setting of green with the class motto, "Live pure, speak true, right wrong," to a prominent place. Parents and friends were present to enjoy the afternoon with the students who opened their program with the class song. This was followed by the address of welcome by Rosalind Nye, president of the class of 1928. The class history was given by Harold Phalin and was a most interesting account of the life of the class during their four years of high school. One interesting point wihich he revealed was the fact that the senior class of 1928 entered the high school as freshmen in 1924, with a total of thirty-three members. At the beginning of the sophomore year four of this number dropped out', making a total of twenty-nine members. During this year a memorable Hallowe'en party was given by the class, which was financed by the sale of home-made candy. In their junior year their class roll was reduced to twenty-four members. During this year the class put on the junior play and the junior prom, the success of which was attributed to Mr. Koerner. In their senior year they were a class of twenty-one members, three taking up other work. This was a busy year for the class who, through the sale of candy, were enabled to give a Christmas party. They also put on the class play "The Patsy" and from the proceeds of this play, together with money obtained from the sale of candy, a radio was purchased for the high school as the gift of the class of *28. The class statistics were given by James Frisby and included much amusing data concerning the class while the class poem was given by Carlton Fay, the poet of the class. The class motto, "Live pure, speak true, right wrong" was explained by Verona Amann. She said that these words of the motto were the ideal set up for the Knights of King Arthur in that poem of Tennyson's and had been studied by the class last year. The many bequests under tflie senior class will were read by Grace Martin while the class hobbies were told by Edwin Michels, some of them being perpetual talking, thinking up excuses for flat tires and working twentyfour hours a day and having all the rest of the time for oneself. The class prophecy was given by Anna Popp and was delivered in a clear manner, easily heard and understood by the audience. Members of the class were found in all vocations of life and in various parts of the world. One uf them was found to be a poet, one conducting a clothing store, one a sailor going to Africa, one operating a movie theater, a director of an orchestra, a taxi driver, lawyer, nurse and, in fact, the members were pictured by the prophetess in almost every walk of life. The class gifts were distributed by Edward Smith and were most varied, among them being a rolling pin, Jewish dictionary, noiseless gum, colored glasses and other things too numerous to mention. The ode to the faculty wa3 given by Catherine Weingart and the farewell address by Joseph Barbian. The class yell was led by Anthony Wirtz and the swing out of seniors was conducted by Alex Justen, Richard Fellin, Lillian Smith and Sylvia Wolfe. The charge to the juniors was given by Earl Dowell and he spoke words of wisdom and advice so that those who are to follow in their footsteps will not suffer from their same troubles and mistakes. Robert Johnson responded, saying that the juniors would strive to follow the advice just given them. At the close of the class day program a very interesting style show was put on by Miss Keller and her sewing class, who exhibited the dress, es they have made during the term, many of them having had only four and one-half months of sewing. The show opened with the exhibit of kim onas and pajamas, followed by house dresses, afternoon dresses and many elaborately made dresses. The dress es were beautiful and expertly made and show a wonderful opportunity of. fered by. the high school coUMHfc WORLD'S FAMOUS PEONY COLLECTION VanSteen Farm Near Crystal Lake Will Soon Bo Wonderful S%t* For Visitors Peony plants at the Julius "J.

Alderman Knox said that the gas pumps are supposed to pay an installation fee of $25 and pay a special charge of $5 per pump per year afterwards, that he had not paid for his pumps and did not intend to until they collected installation fees for the new permits and started to collect for Other pumps in service. Knox said that so far this year there had been eight dog licenses issued and if the city did not propose to collect the license fees for all dogs that the ordinance had better be repealed. It was also suggested by another alderman present that Overton should turn in his star as it was city property. Knox stated further that he would not be held responsible for anyone bitten by a mad dog if the city did not enforce their rules. Marshal Walsh was told to shoot all unlicensed dogs, also, he was again instructed to chase up delinquent vehicle tax payers. Also to notify the National and A. & P. stores to stop the piling of bread boxes in stacks on the sidewalk as they were apt to fall or be pushed onto children; also that they be stopped from parking their large trucks crosswise of the pavement and obstructing traffic; also, the plumbers and electricians must use more care in leaving pipes projecting from the rear of their trucks without proper signals displayed.

The person owning the cottage has to put shutters over the windows every time he leaves over night and just recently a rifle ball penetrated the shutter, broke the window and lodged in the casing at the opposite side of the room. The parties who have been doing this are known. Standpipe May Be Painted X gentleman was present who desired to sell special paint for the standpipe. He informed the board that the city of McHenry was very fortunate in having a wonderfttl quality of iron in the standpipe, in fact, an equal quality could not be bought at this time, but that it sadly needed painting and care. He advised a first coat of bronze paint which would stick to tar, pitch or anything of the kind and would hold down sweating so that the paint would not peel off. He advised a second coat of graphite paint1 over the bronze. The graphite might be either of black or gray. The purchasing committee was instructed to examine the standpipe and note the condition of both the inside and outside. The salesman is to call at some later date.

These selections were followed by a song, entitled "Our Festal Day," by Stanley Schaffer, Bob Peterson, Jack Purvey, Frances Peterson, Juanita Keg and Virginia Engeln. The twenty graduates were seated upon the stage and presented a fine appearance, each one wearing the class flower, sweet p$as. The salutatory was very well given by Joseph Landl, in which he extended a welcome to the exercises. This was followed by a violin solo by Charlotte Erickson, accompanied by Juanita Keg, after which a pleasing reading was given by Dorothy Wormley.

This commendable trait was much appreciated by the audience which enjoyed the program to the fullest extent because every word was so easily heard. A vocal solo was delightfully rendered by Bob Peterson, after which the class vision was given by Virginia Engeln.

A cornet solo was given by Eugene Sayler, followed by a piano solo, "Love's Dream," by Virginia Keg. The valedictory was given by Jack Purvey in whioh he bade farewell and expressed thanks to the teachers and members of the school board and hoped that the class would remember their class motto, "Persistence Wins."
