Miscellaneous This is a fair start and places our •chool library on a par with many of the better schools, altho a really good library for a school the site of ours should contain sixteen to eighteen hundred volumes. Where the number of fiction volumes is large the number should, of course, be larger. Tha library should be the real workshop of the school*. The textbook in the hands of the pupil can contain at best only a very small amount of the knowledge available on the subject and the student must secure further information from the library. In fact, it is next to impossible to teach subjects, such "as English, history or science with any degree of success without a good reference library. High school students should do a large amount of rapid, intelligent reading. In fact, he should force himself to read rapidly. The future American will not be able to keep abreast of the times unless he does read rapidly. Furthermore, it has been shown that rapid reading leads.to a better understanding of what is Jbeing read. This applies to the children in the prrades as well. We believe that considerable progress in reading is being made this year. Thursday, Nov. 10, there were fifty-five volumes drawn from the library in addition to those" already out and on last Wednesday evening just before the high school conference fifty-seven loans were made. Indications are that the high school students have done as much reading already this year as was done during the whole of last year. There are no restrictiSns on drawing the books from the library--the students help than selves to whatever they want with perfect freedom so long as they take care of them end return them on time. e Yours very truly, * Oswell G. Treadway. ' " Senior Notes The report cards of the seniors show whet brilliant progress they made this last quarter on the road to caps and gowns and dipltftnas. The American history students, judging from daily reports and discussions on the disarmament conference, will some day make great politicians.

The girls arrived in hard time costumes and, needless to say, not one dull moment was spent during the evening. Games, music and dancing provided the evening's entertainment. During the course of the evening the guests were summoned to the dining room, where a sumptuous luncheon was served. A beautiful birthday cake graced the center of the table. Miss Schiessle was presented with a gift as a token of the high esteem in which she is held by her guests. At a late hour the guests departed for their respective homes, wishing Bertha many happy returns of the day. Those who made up the jolly gathering wore Doris BAcon, Greeta Chamberlin, Harriett Bobb, Frances Peterson, Josephine Olson, Alice Miller, Mildred Kinsala, Mary Pender Walsh, Lillian Doherty, Gladys Van Natta, Arline Harrison and Bertha Schiessle.

Carl is getting generous with his theme paper. Must be a change in the weather. Thanksgiving can't come too often for the freshies. We are all going on, a diet until Thursday. William Stoffel is too small for the back row in English I so Miss Peterson moved him "way up in front." Mr. Moser: "How do you make lime from limestone?" Harold Bacon: "Take the stone out." Warning to the freshmen: Don't eat too much turkey and pumpkin pie. Reason: Doctor bills are high these days. Mabel Conway came to school Monday morning with a smile from ear to ear.

WILLIAM COSSMAN Was Bom In McHenry Townpiilp <M March 28, 1857 Mrs. William Cossman, whose death occurred at the family home west of town on Wednescfay evening, Nov. 16, 1921, was laid at rest in St. Mary's cemetery last Saturday morning. Adelheid Benolken was bora on the old homestead, which at the time was located at what is now known as the Fred Huemann farm, between this village and Johnsburg, on March 28, 1857. Here she was raised and grew to womanhood. On Nov. 24, 1875, she was united marriage to William Cossman, the couple having been the second to be married in the big brick edifice which was destroyed by fire at Johnsburg a number of- years ago. Rev. H- M. Fegers performed the ceremony. The first year of her married, life was passed on the farm of Mr. Cossman's father, Mathias Cossman, situated in the vicinity of Dighton, Lake county. The following year she, with her husband, worked her father's farm. After a two years' residence in Iowa and a very shor| stay in Kansas the family again came back to Illinois and after the death of Fred Cossman, about tWenty-seven years ago, they again took up their residence on the old homestead in Lake county. After leaving the old homestead the family occupied farms in Lake county andj^ six years ago came to reside on the farm then known as the H. C. Mead place, and which has since come into the possession of Mr. and Mrs. Cossman. Here the deceased continued to make her home until her death. Mrs. Cossman was the mother of ten children, six of whom have gone before her, while four, with the grief stftcken husband, are left to survive, as are three grandchildren and one sister. The surviving children are Henry, Fred and Frank, all of whom reside on the farm, and John M., who lives near Solon Mills. The sister. Mrs. Gertrude Tonyan, who took care of the deceased during her last illness, resides at Waukegan. Mrs. Cossman had not been in the best of health for several months past, but her condition was not considered serious until a few days before her demise, when she took to her bed. The deceased wns a zealous worker St. .Mary's- Catholic parish since coming to McHenry. She was a member of Stv Clara's court, W. C. O. ¥., as well the Christian Mothers' society. In the family she proved a kind and indulgent mother, a faithful wife, a good neighbor and an esteemed citjteAi of the community. The funeral took place Mom St. Mary's Catholic church in this village at ten o'clock last Saturday moming • and was attended by a large gathering of relatives and friends who had come to pay their last respects to one whom they had loved and highly esteemed. Rev. Charles Nix performed the last sad rites, while interment was Made;, in the family *lot in St. Mary's cemetery. The sympathy of the people of the Igitire community goes out to the bereaved family in this, their heur of sadness. , .
