The honors of . the evening all went to McHenry, altho Richmond Ahibited some very good playing. McHenry seconds defeated Richmond by a score of 17 to 9. The first team had a harder time to 1 keep up the good work, but the good guarding kept the Richmond boys from winning. The final score was 13 to 12. McHenry had a grept deal of hard luck in the last quarter. These games were a very successful start of the season and we hope that the good work will be continued thruout the year.

GIRLS* ATHLETICS The seniors, juniors and sophomores had their teams out for scrimmage games last Tuesday night after school. The first game, seniors vs. junk"studying ended in favor of the juniors, the still little children in our midst. We've noticed that quite a number of the high school students seem a little stouter than last Wednesday. It looks as if they did justice to the Thanksgiving dinner. I bet no one can gxiees what Santa Claus is going to bring Cornelia for Christmas. Helen Powers. » ) JUNIOR CL^SS NOTES Does acid burn clothes? Ask Bussy. Mr. Treadway visited us one day last week. Everybody is all smiles since the B. B. game. No wonder. Jesse Whiting was absent two days last week. We wonder why. The English class is now struggling with "Everyman," (everyman). If Angela Petesch is hitting on all four is Marjorie Phalin (failin') T Milly Ahrens is some there when it comes to shooting b--b -b--baskets. Clyde Carr is the proud owner of a new fuzzy sweater. Some sheik, girls. Miss Pryor tells us we are improvng m typewriting. There's a reason. Miss Ashburner's favorite saying: 'Don't waste your time, havent you anything to do?" William Nye and Augustine Freund lave been assistant teachers in bookkeeping last Friday. Mr. Stringer, as he caught jCutie mussing up Milly's hair: . "Miss Buss, this isnt a circus." Mr. Wells enlightened us today by telling us how we stood in chemistry. £ome drew a breath of relief, some didnt. When it comes to basket ball the junior girls take the cake. They defeated the sophs qpd seniors in a scrimmage last Tuesday night. Since the chemistry students have [taken to preparing hydrogen sulfide the rest of the school are thinking of Moving us over in the new school house. Miss Pryor has given the bookkeeping class a good advice each day of list week. Monday, Dorothy" Matthews hummed in class. Miss Pryor: "Do not hum when you are doing your bookkeeping, because a humming bookkeeper is not wanted." Tuesday, a student coming to her desk with a crooked line in his book. Miss Pryor: "Do not draw crooked lines because if you draw crooked lines you will run a crooked business." Louis Ehle. SOPHOMORE NOTES Since when has Mr. Stringer gone in the watch repairing business? Jt was announced on one of the boards that Clyde had a sweetheart. IWonder who she is. «'• The zoology class are desecting bbsters. The results are that no one jriH ever eat lobster again. We think Dick Stenger's future ought to be predicted as a comedian. He sure is a side splitter. McHenry played a very exciting basket ball game and a lot of pupils and town people turned out to see it. Everyone remarked -how gracefully Dick Overton danced in the play. Wouldn't he make a typical toe dancer ? ? Some one wondered if they were seeing things Monday morning. But the fact was the boys still had a little tan rouge left on since Saturday night. Miss. Richmond was wondering why Carl Weber doesn't have his geometry lesson. A pupil in the seventh period assembly informed us he gets his rest score being 20 to 4. This was considered a good game, altho the juniors were in the lead most of the time. The second game, juniors vs. sophomores, ended in favor of the juniors, the score being 4 to 2. This game lasted for seven and one-half minutes and the juniors admit it was harder to win for the sophomore team put up a good fight. The third and tost game, sophomores vs. seniors, ended in the sophs' favor, the score being 6 to 4. This was a very good game as the seniors managed to keep up with the sophs pretty well. This game ended the practice for the evening, but the juniors and sophomores did not play long enough together to suit them. 5; Lillian Buss, r SENIOR SCHOOL NOTES - Memorizing poems is getting to be quite a,novelty for the Spanish II class. Last Wednesday three more speeches were given by seniors in the English IV class. We think the juniors' rings are very pretty, but we think our own are just a wee bit prettier. Miss Ashburner is beginning c secret service system the second per , ipd in the afternoon. "She wants pattern 3794 in a size 36. Flo: "Is that a breakfast cap she wants?" Pretty large breakfast cap. Some of the freshmen, we've noticed, have recently sent thick letters to Santa Claus. They are really behaving very well lately. ... The seniors wish to take this opportunity to congratulate both the first and second basket ball teams. Keep the good work up, bws. + Some of the senior girls who took the teachers' exams about a month ago received their grades Saturday. They seem quite happy about it. .There are rumors that a certain senior has been throwing notes. We "gare.veff sorry to hear that there at* Mr. Talmadge, in zoo., said: "Now just look at the little man controlling that large sewer machine sitting there smoking, but getting the work done as he wants." Ernst Barbian, interrupting, says: 'Yes, we are small, but we have large brains." Evidently he thinks we are unbalanced. Adele PufahL FRESHMAN NOTES Pete: "Only fools are positive." ] Ed.: "Are you sure?" - Pete: "Yes, I'm positive," ] ffi Can you imagine-- Carl Weber with a frown. Zeke Bacon on the third team. Mr. Stringer without glasses. Mr. Wells teaching dressmaking Bernard Newman without his hair combed. Carl Thorsell as cheer leader. John Fay with black hair. . James Fay. EDITORIAL Boosting the School The most essential thing in malting a good school is "boosting," which needs the help erf the student and thef community. ' » • It is always after having visited another school that one feels that his school isn't what it could be. He perhaps has talked to the students of the real school and found many imperfections which could easily be remedied. That gym is terribly small and low. The library hasn't more than six decent books and the our school, it. If the student boosts for his school, the community will beck him and then wins. Marjory Whiting.

Miss Ashburner, reading from Irving: "The family mansion was partly lit up by cool moonshine. Bright senior: "Why, there's we decided to call on the business men of our community to help us in the undertaking by buying advertising space. It isn't a great deal of fun to ask people for money and especially after these men have had many demands for money during the last week, but we have found that the business men of McHenry are more than willing to back the school in this undertaking, as they have always been in every Undertaking of this kind. Of course when we started out we were rather down hearted.' We made S&ith Bros, our first stopping place and there we were greatly encouraged, so we decided to continue. Everyone told us their hard luck stories the past week, but when they found that this was to help the school they did not hesitate^io sign their names. We have not as yet been able to visit all the business places of our city, but we're coming. You're going to be just as good natured, generous and willing as the other fellow, aren't you? A less determined class would not have undertaken such a task, but with your support w6 are going to make this year book the best ever published and will make you proud that you have helped to make it what it is.
