Things have been going *ttp in the ^|ir down at Cary lately since the ^ new airport started business. A large V«rowd attended the air show Sunday ^ |n which Navy fliers sported their ^"V.jrares in formation and stunt flights. Inhere are also passenger planes on the field for the convenience of those individuals of the class and gave the hobby «f each and their favorite pastime. The class prophecy was a most unique one with Melvin Walsh broadcasting over the radio as he interpreted the prophecies of a Hindu fortune teller, fortelling the future of each member of the class. The radio stunt was a new one for McHenry and as the radio was tuned in the voice of Melvin came through in fine shape. The class gifts were distributed by Flora Freund and were most varied, among them being a toy automobile, which was presented to Eddie Frett, who was assured that it was a speeder and would get him to Johnsburg in one second. William Vales very appropriately received a saxophone, Minnie Ferwerda, a rolling pin, La Verne Harrison a bow and arrow its Mil aid iii his courting, Henrietta Greeley received a date book and other gifts were a hammer, ruler, tennis racket, garden seeds, jumping ropes and other gifts with uses too numerous to mention. The class dictionary was given by Minnie Ferwerda and told what the name of each senior stood for. The ode to the faculty was given by Charles Dowe, who expressed the thanks of the class to the teachers for their kindness and help and extended good wishes to them. The farewell address waa given by Arnold Anderson and the class yell was led by Lillian StofFel. The swing out of seniors was conducted "by Edward Frett, Rose Tonvan, Laveme Harrison, Eleanor May, Robert Thurlwell and Edith Bambas. The seniors and juniors exchanged places, with the juniors taking the seats of the seniors upon the stage where they received the charge to the juniors given by Hatding Thiele. He spoke words of wisdom and advice so that those who follow in his footsteps will not suffer from their same, troubles and mistakes. Daniel O'Shea responded for the juniors saying that the juniors would strive to follow the advice given them and expressed the great sorrow of the jufliors upon the loss of the seniors.* Sixteen juniors took the places of the seniors and will become the seniors of next year. The graduating class is a fine large one, of which McHenry High may well be proud. jiesiring to elevate their position in' Frank FrfeOnd is the'leading fcfeftfrman to date on the up-river squad, having an average of .476 before last Sunday's game, when he smote the pill for four safeties in five times up to raise his average to almost .600. Winkle is next with an even four hundred and Whiting is ranking third with .333. That so, called "murderer's row" of the Cubs would do well to function like that one of Johnsburg's.

In Monday's game with the •Giants not an outfielded received credit for a putout, .throwing all the dlutiefc on the infielders' shoulders, Terry, the first sacker, collecting 15 putouts^ This is the first occurrence of the kind since 1911 and has hap pened but twice since the big leagues were organized. It may be that this Carl Hubbell, youthful southpaw of recent no-hit, no-run fame, was some what to blame for the ridiculous ef forts of the Cubs. Jimmy Fay received a chance to substitute for a match at Aurora on Decoration Day and jumped at the chance only to find when he arrived that he was to fighfc A1 Marino, veteran middleweight of Chicago rings Undaunted by the reputation of this Chicago ringman, Jimmie went in and worked his head and his arms to win a three-round decision, chiefly through a powerful left that puzzled the huge Greek. Needless t® "say this victory caused Jimmie's stock to soar and he -- is now scheduled to box Johnny Rogers, Barrington's middleweight, at Elgin Thursday night. Since joining the Toots-Bellows squad the local lad has earned the reputation of a hard-working middleweight, one of those slippers the fans enjoy seeing. !

Adjournment will be the order soon and members will recess for ten days while Governor Emmerson peruses the hills passed by both branches. At the end of the ten-day period Idle adjournment will be taken. The bill Introduced by Senator Florence Flfer Bohrer, Bloomlngton, providing that convicted felons shall be sentenced to the custody of the state department Of public welfare instead of to the' state penitentiaries at Statevllle and Chester, has been passed by the senate and has been sent to the house.

State Line appeared on Decoration Day, but were soundly trounced in the opening stanza when 13 men batted for Johnsburg and scored nine runs on seven hits, two bases on balls and a wild pitch to sew up the old ballgame. From then on Ed Tonyan just eased along toward another victory though he did have to bear down in the third when the Line boys became troublesome and scored four of The house has passed House Bills Nos. 330, 331 and 332 which give the eovernor and state auditor the power and authority to audit the sanitary district's books annually. These bills, which were introduced by Representative Leo D. Crowley, Peoria, make the state responsible,. Representative Crowley also introduced House Bill N'o. 182 which empowers the American Legion to remove war veterans from state institutions when the Legion has the proper facilities to care for them. "~ drove a single to right to score the, winning Sharkers. Frank Freund relieved Frett in the ninth and held St. Charles scoreless though things looked bad when two slight miscues let the tyig runs reach base. Next Sunday Hebron invades the upriver diamond to attempt to win their first league encounter, having been nosed out in all three games to date. Judson is slated to pitch for Hebron and if he lives up to his past performances will give Johnsburg something to think of. The home team will attempt to make it three out of^f&nr to tie for second with the losers of Harvard-Woodstock's fracas. Neither Woodstock nor Harvard has lost a game so far this year so that their encounter is bound to be a real battle.

This is not an estimation, but is the actual count. The support given Dar Granger, pitcher for the bricklayers, was far from encouraging, especially in the third and fourth innings when most of the runs were scored. Rob Thompson scored the first run of the season and was also the first batter. Eddie Frett was on the rubber for the Foresters and was going good until they corrected his delivery to conform with the rule book. There are a good many queer rules in this game that differ considerably from the national pastime and players are advised to brush up on the rules so that they may add that much to their games.
