SCHOOL NOTES WON BOTH GAMES Item of .Interest From Owr Institution of Learning Senior Notes What's the matter with tke rear black board in flies Pryor*s ttMtn during algebra II? The teachers visited the University high school last Friday and the Hull House on Saturday. Elsie Vycital and Irene Conway attended the meeting of seniors who expect to teach at Woodstock Saturday. Clarence Niesen is writing a treatise on "How to make amendments to the constitution .of tifctT .ttttited States." Junior Notes If you want some excitement just visit the civics class. The juniors are trying to solve the mystery of who Harold Collins was or is. The botany class has founcl that the simple little flower is not so simple after all. One of the junior boys has taken the time to figure out that there are but fifty-five more days of school. Does anyone know where John Givens is going the next few days ? Anyway he is very happy and he says "It's my vacation." No one seems to like school notes and the student body president is having a very hard time indeed to find editors, sometimes even mistaking sophomores for freshies. Who said we didn't have a basket ball team ?. Anyone doubting it was really convinced that our boys had pep'" at the game Friday night. And they are going to show it at the Elgin tournament next Friday against Wheaton. ; ~~ -- Genoa came down to see us, They have boys in size galore, But when they got to playing, They jumped right off the floor. Our light weights looked small beside 'em, But we were out to win, So we weren't the least excited For all we did was holler and grin. At last the game was ended, Thirty-two to twelve it stood, . And the team that once had licked us Were in a sorry mood. Our big five then came along, And fought like men of old. The game was tied most of the tittfe, But that's what made them bold; So Genoa went with the losers' smile And found McHenry was worth while. 14 to 12 was not a bad score, But that we won, we care for no more.

S. is proud of her basket ball team. _ Glee club was ledby Mr. Treadway Wednesday. . , Lillian Doherty visited Holcombville school Friday. No English teacher as yet. M. H. S. is getting discouraged. Where were the freshman and senior school notes last week ? Each Caesar pupil has to draw a map of Gaul to show Caesar's, campign. Lillian (in debate) : "As to my opponents cracking up the rural free delivery, etc." Mildred (in rebuttal): "I've heard of cracking dishes, but not cracking the rural free delivery." Ella Newman and Lucy Schoel have quit school to go to work. It is a sad thing for girls of their age to leave school without having completed a high school education. Crystal Lake is proud of her school. Hebron is proud of hers. MtHenry aren't you proud of yours? If so show it! Encourage the pupils -to go, not to leave. Don't be a slacker, boost your school. The affirmative side won in the debate Thursday. The winners were Mildred Kinsala, Arline Harrison and Mary Bolger; the losers, Lillian Doherty and Frances Peterson. Edmund Barbian was absent so it weakened the negative side. Freshman Notes The English I class have finished reading Enoch Arden and will sooili commence reading Ivanhoe. The Latin I class seem to be wor rying over their reviews on verbs and the vocabularies which are to come this week Thursday and Friday. A game of basket ball was played Tuesday between the eighth grade team and the freshmen, the latter team coming out as the victors, the score being 22 to 18. . , Grades Karen Nielsqn is * new pupil in grade two.

J. Herbes on Elgin road. Mr. Vasey and his estimable family are too well known to our large family of readers to be introduced and we are sure that our entire populace will agree with us when we venture to say that their coming is a welcome asset to our beautiful little city. Geo. Buss and family, who have occupied the home for some time past, are now residing in the Parks house on pi{• Center and John streets. If- McHenry Highs Back In Shape asd Put Up Fine Exhibition Well, we told you so. two basket bait teams of the McHenry high school, after a season of "bum" luck, once more hit their stride at the local gym last Friday evening and before they got thru with the evening's performance the Genoa Junction teams had taken a double licking, much to the delight of the loyal followers of the McHenry squads. J. . Still a trifle chesty of their defeats of the McHenry outfits at Genoa a few weeks ago, the visitors came to McHenry with a world of confidence and less basket ball ability, but no sooner had the game started before all hands had come to a full realization of the fact that McHenry was not the team that they had met in their lair. McHenry had brushed up and together with a piece of luck, for which the teem had been longing, the visitors found that they were up against the real thing. No, McHenry did not * out-class them much, but our boys were, for once at least, given an even break of luck, and thus the double victory.

And as he said it he hit Bill a slap on the shoulder that brought him to a quick attention. "How are all the folks and where are you keeping yourself these days," he continued all in the same breath. 'The folks are all well, thank you," replied the other, "and as for myself £ find enough to keep me busy around pur little village here. As my name implies, I'm the guy that boosts for community betterment and you know, Pete, how much there is to be done along that line."

Of course, Pete, if we're going to talk things over we must be perfectly candid and say what we think. You won't get sore if I don't agree with you, will you?" "Pshaw, no! What do you think I am ?
