The team outplayed and outclassed the Marengo-five, but they need considerable practice on shooting free throws. The game proved to be fast from the start to the finish, and rather rough, for three of Marengo's players were put out <rf the game on personal fouls. The second team lost by a score of 20-5. Our second' team was too light to compete with the tall and heavy Marengo five. The second team also feels the loss of its best player, Donald Martin, who played a flashy game as guard against Hebron. Martin has discontinued his studies at McHenry, and moved to Chicago.

Nation Is Prosperous Within a few days will come Christmas find 120,000,000 Americans, with a few sad exceptions, have many good reasons for cheerfulness. Those not as prosperous or not happy in their private affairs may be glad that the majority of the people will have the ] Christmas spirit. Why should we not rejoice and be happy at this season of the year? We live in the richest country in the world, with prosperity only beginning. We live in the country of public schools, which means more to the future happiness of the nation than all our mines and factories. We live in a land of freedom, where each has the right to think as he chooses and express his thought, with respect for the opinion of others. This country is at peace with the world, wants nothing from any other nation but justice and respect. We have industries, mines, wealth of all kinds developed beyond the dreams of early Americans, and our undeveloped wealth so far exceeds that which is developed that no comparison is possible. Our country is most magnificent in size, resources and varied climate. Reaching from one great ocean to the other, stretching from cold, marvelous ly rich Alaska to the beautiful lands of southern California and the tropics of Florida, this country lacks nothing. The people of this country are riding in 24,000,000 automobiles which our factories are turning out at the rate of more than 4,000,000 a1 year. This is a thinking, earnest, hard-working nation. There is every ' ca lse for rejoicing and none for complaint at this Yuletide season of peace and good will.
