^LEftiCTOR* Itch fcjr Miss Mary Smltli aft tht Graduation BxerdaM If has fallen to m$ to hardest part of this program--to ^ |?ood-bye to the ones we have learned (i to love, and not only to the ones we !4 love, bat to the high school itself, for • |'f * this is the last class to graduate from the McHenry high school. i! The McHenry high school has ac- $r ;-k toraplished a great work and now the * t /t»ew community high school will carry V..iy4t on even to a greater extent. The _'. 'McHenry high school has been in ; Existence since 1889, sending forth 220 V V ( graduates. With such a foundation ! f/e believe that the community school •Jfvill become more than a high school, an institution of learning known thrutout this part of the country. To the board of education we wish to express our gratitude for the in- ..v: numerable things which they have done for us, making it possible for us %o graduate tonight. We want to compliment you on the many wise decisions which have made the high ichool what it is today. We deeply appreciate the help from bur faculty, which has been so will- . In ply given every time it has been Risked. Ifi the future we will realize ttiore than ever what, good you have clone for us. Dear classmates, during tit* past flour years we have worked and played together. We have learned to love |ach other and these friendships rich we have formed will become rt of our lives. These happy high ' ichool days, now that we are about lb leave, seem dearer than ever. Let «s be as loyal to each other in the ""'Hature as we have been in the past may we always live up to our; 1 * Biotto, "Over the Top With Lots of Pep." It has been suggested that * iur motto was more for the past than » Ihe present or future, but we believe that there are as many and often * greater battles to be fought in times i of peace as in war. It is not the Rattles of war that a country has won Iftiat makes it great, but rather what It accomplishes in times of peace that " • j ^"determines its place in the world. ; ' ©ur generation must be prepared to ; ' solve the great problems that the !^,*»...»rorid war has left. • ( This is a great opportunity, an opjjortunity that we must meet uftflfoehjrs • Ingly. If everyone doefc their part f- " 4hese great questions will be solved trithout our nation being put into any 1^, : jllanger The past history of the world f thows us that when the citizens of a Vcountry meet every great question V Jhxt comes before them and solves ' - ^Ihat question right, that nation lives, .l)ut when the citizens shift responsibility the nation declines. Let us f ^ Sake our responsibilities and make the 3te°st of our opportunities. ',.

My task, that of welcoming and v\jgreeting teachers, parents and friends, ! * " Is indeed a pleasant one. What could Hue more pleasing to us, the graduating .•jelass of 1920, than to have those near and dear to Us witness our eommence- .^Jment exercises? As high school students we have i^Mour hopes and dreams and it is only 4 natural and right that we should •i_ have hopes and dreams, but we must ^;be careful of our hopes, for remem- T ber, classmates dear, they are pro- ^ phetic of our future. !* ' But tonight I will say with the ^v|. greatest conviction that my classmates hold hopes that are prophetic A of a prosperous and progressive Vture and hopes bearing prospective ^ realization. Tonight is- truly our ! » commencement, as we are now pret t < pared to start out in life, altho some , of us are going to pursue education ^ thru college, to better ourselves to M i , accomplish high standard^. Accomplishment is defined as "an attainment or acquirement that tends ^ A,: to equip character, manner or person. ?,f ^ This is the ideal and standard that w .*«§ we> *he members of the class of '20, ;are striving to achieve. ^ 4 Quality is the thing that counts ; • -The ability to perform deeds with ,quality is a valuable possession. As- • suredly speaking, my classmate are 'willing to learn to become capable to ; instill quality in all their undertak- * " ing. Determination and persistency go hand in hand {or determination with- - out persistency is a failure. In strong determination there is ambii tion of the right, which determination • j «L. w»th perseverance must accomplish. ^iere there is ambition for the right there is undoubtedly the spirit of fe,* " service to help and aid those whom we can, thus putting our education and tbrining into practical use. "Opportunity knocks but once and if ignored never returns." This is a good rule to follow and sound advice, and now, classmates, we must seize opportunity whenever it knocks, regardless of the mammoth difficulties which arise that may prevent us from accepting it, for Opportunity soon or la^ ^ Knodft unbidden, • Once at every gate. '" ^ If sleeping, wake, If fsytil!Ea^ It is the hour of fate, those who doubt or hesitate Former Marengo Lawyer Pleads Guilty to Embezzlement J. E. ("Gene") Barber, Marengo attorney, pleaded guilty of embezzlement as an administrator and was sentenced to the state penitentiary for an indeterminate term of one to ten years by Judge Charles H. Donnelly in the circuit court at Woodstock Monday. He also pleaded guilty to embezzlement as an attorney and was sentenced to one day in the county jail and ordered disbarred. Barber asked to be arraigned in court shortly afternoon, when he was notified that indictofents had been returned against him by the grand jury. The prosecution was in charge of State's Attorney V. S. Lumley. The specific charge of embezzlement as administrator was made by the county prosecutor on complaint signed by heirs to the estate of the late Leonard Johnson. Barber, who has maintained a law office in Marengo for years, was arrested more than two months ago. The warrant for his arrest was issued early this year, but it was only recently that he was apprehended. After being located near Java Village, New York, he disappeared again only a few hours before the arrival of Sheriff Roy Stewart of Woodstock. According to State's Attorney Lumley, Barber embezzled upwards of $20,000 thru a collection scheme that he operated from, his Marengo office. His victims, it is alleged, reach over northern Illinois and even into other states. Public Auction! WANTED--Boy to evft lawn wice a week. Inquire at McH«ary Bakery. WANTED--Two Hoi milkers.
