This is usually rather an informal affair, at which the Seniors have a "good time and it is also the only program in which the Seniors actively take part and have a chance to show just how well they can do ft! the literary part of the school work^ For those, who are really interested in the individuals of the class and who desire to know just what they are capable of doing, this Is the program which should be attended and to which everyone is invited. Of course, the one big event which . the high school student looks forward to and which is the incentive for which he works through the four yfears of high school is the time when he will receive his diploma from the Superintendent of the school, showing him that he has completed the tasks which have been given him. The annual commencement exercises, which will be the culmination of all the important events which mark the close of school, will be held at the Community high school on Friday evening, June 3, at 8:15 o'clock. ^ The commencement speaker this year will be Superintendent Fairchild of Elgin Mr. Fairchild has not • jiven the title of his address but he is known to be an interesting speaker apd will bring a message which will be well worth hearintr. Admission to the rraduating exercises will be free this year and it is hoped that the public will take a renewed interest in .SPhool affairs and attend this program •p that a full house will greet Mr. fairchild upon his first appearance fcere.

Thii will be welcome news to tourists who have been using the detuor around McCollum's lake for several months, and a great accommodation for the extra travel which comes at the holiday occasioned by Memorial Day. Sailiit^'May 27, Is Pbppy Da|- School Girls WiU Sell Flowers Saturday, May 27, has been designated as "Poppy Day." The Legion Post of McHenry has designated the Community high school of McHenry as its official representative to carry on the program of that day. Miss Misner, one of our teachers, has been appointed by the superintendent of schools to serve as chairman of this drive The selling teams will consist of girls from the school directed and instructed by Miss Misner. It seems unnecessary to have to call attention to a cause as worthy as "Poppy Day." It is a well known fact that the s«'e of poppies on this day provides funds used for the assistance of our disabled soldiers, and a portion of the revenue \s deposited in an accumulative fund by the local post to be used for civic welfare. The officers and members of the local post know that the citizens of our community will be as fenerous as they always have, and do their bit to assist th« school girls to sell their quota of 1700 poppies.' No selling price is'assigned and purchasers are asked to pay any sum that they feel in a position to give to the support of this worthy cause. On Monday, May 30, the local post has arranged a program lat the Community high techool auditorium, to start at 10 o'clock, a. m. central standard time. The post feels very fortunate in having obtained Mr James Welch, of Waukegan, as the speaker of the day. Mr. Welch was formerly states attorney for Lake county, and is counted as one of the closest friends of the Legion cause. The post feels that this very able spaker should be welcomed at the auditorium with a large attendance. The Daughters of the G.A.R. have offered their assistance to the post in making both the program and the parade following a success. This organization will place a guide at each cemetery to direct the distribution of flowers. They also will take part in the program at the school. The local troop of Boy Scouts will march in the parade. Twelve grade school girls in charge of Mrs. Barron, assisted by Miss Doherty, will act as flower girls, march in the parade and distribute the flowers at the cemetery. The parade is to be led by the High School band in uniform. The Legion post is very grateful to all those who so kindly and generously offered their assistance to make this day and program succesful. It is asked that all merchants who possibly can will close their stores between the hours of 9:45 and 12 o'clock* and witness the program and parade. Wfc know that merchants will not have to be urged to arrange to do this when so much has been done in an endeavor to provide an interesting program. People of McHenry are asked to provide flowers to be used for graves decorations. It was believed that in this way the ctitizens of the com- MEMORIAL DAY McHenry Post American Legion , Orders of the Day This day is sacred with the almost visible presence of those who have gone before us. We honor the memory of those who gave their lives in the service of our country. Of those others who, since the war, have dropped their burdens by the wayside of life, and are gone to their eternal rest. A thousand battles on land and sea echo the glory of their jtaeds. Under the quiet sod, or beneath the murmuring waves, their bodies sleep in peace. But in the destinies of men, their souls go marching on. Because of them our nation lives, because of them the whole world is blest. They fought for us; For us they fell; those men of "76 of 1812, '65, *98, and those who just so recently paid our debt to loyalty. Let us not remember them in anguish; They would not wish our pity. Ftfr their sakes also let us not forget the loved ones they left behind. Our tears cannot bring them back, but let the ceremonies of this Memorial Day deepen our reverence for them.1 May our activities be such that the world will not forget what they have done; for it has been said that "If you break faith with those who died, they shall not sleep, though poppies grow, in Flanders Field." In our reverence for them let us renew our pledge of loyalty to flag and country, and when in the Memorial Days of the future, others should think of you and me, let them truly say, that we were loyal to our God. Such are the orders of this day to you from the McHenry Post of the American Legi&i. J. W.

May 19. A well-filled house of interested spectators was present to hear this program and that it was very much enjoyed and appreciated was made evident by the whole-hearted applause which greeted each number. The concert reprasented the culmination of the work carried during the school year and the music was very well rendered and showed a great deal of ability and faithful effort. The many hours spent in practice throughout the year were well repaid in the excellent program given and the members of the different musical numbers and their instructors cannot be over-praised for their splendid music they are able to render.
