This is the first time that our second team boys have been beaten, but they are still in high spirits, and hope to win a large majority of their games this season. The score of McHenry and Crystal Lfdce was 7 to 16. As for the first team they were a little more successful and succeeded in defeating Gurnee. The boys made a very fine showing. Their eye for the basket and their team work was excellent and at the end of the last quarter stood 20 to IS in favor of the McHenry team. On Friday of this week the basket hall teams travel to Huntley. We all wish them the best of luck. McHenry 2nd PG. FT. PF. FGM.

Monday at a class meeting during convocation we decided to continue our annual. Miss Ashburner (in English): "The foots in Bryant's poems afe irregular." Leo claims he is an exact reproduction of Sir Idaac Newton. We wonder if this applies to brains. We should like to know Mr. Stringer's opinion of our Spanish essays on a historical woman of America. The English IV students are watching out for plots for their short stories. Watch for oar short stories in the paper. Answers we received, when getting ads: "Why, sure, 111 be glad to." "Certainly." " "Bring the book when it's printed and maybe 111 take a larger one."- Pet hobbies of our teachers:-- Miss Pryor--patroling the Miss Richmond--opening windows and changing seats. Mr. Tallmadge--moulding animals. Mr. Stringer--assigning references. Miss Ashburner--assigning critical themes. Mr. Wells working out physics problems. Lost and Found FOUND--That Xmas Is only six days off. Also we begin school Jan. 2. LOST, Strayed or Stolen--Two girls from the physics class Friday afternoon. LOST--A certain senior's brains. Finder please return to Gladys and claim reward. FOUND--Some extremely well behaved children in the high school. Loser please call for after Xmas. LOST, Strayed or Stolen--Mr. Stringer's sense of humor. Finder please return. No questions asked. LOST--A red "knock-out" pencil last Thursday in the lab on the second table. Finder return to Miss Pryw'e desk. • Advertisement* Anybody wishing to have a string of beads started ap^ly to Marta Miller. • Have yon missed anything? Has something mysteriously disappeared?

Another senior: "Why, I always thought Cooper *ras a poemist," An original by Leo: '"I saw a dog, I ran after the dog; the dog saw a cat, he ran after the cat; the cat saw a rat, it ran after the rat; the rat saw a mouse, it ran after the mouse; the mouse saw a hole, it ran into the hole. Rat, cat, dog and I followed. How did we get them? We ran thru. Ha! ha! I dldnt say the slse of the hole did I?" JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Ask Angela the definition of aqua regia. ^ We surf do e*Joy MMimorteing Shakespeare. - We all agree that Fussy l« aexne cheer leader. Gertrude Clemens visited school last Monday. What ^id Shakespeare know about "dateless nights?" * Friday the high school was entertained by the orchestra. Some kind hearted student left the remains of his dinner on Zeke's desk. The chemistry clasB will be flashing diamonds. The text book tells how to make them. Would some one kindly enlighten Milly as to what the joke about the drumstick was? . It must have been a compliment in Spencer's time to tell a lady her forehead was like ivory. Mr. Wells is going to take up art. He drew a thermos bottle and one of the students recognized it." We had no idea that Gus was such a basket ball star until last Friday night. Keep up the good work, Gus. The English III class are going to try their luck at writing poetry. From now on Chancer takes a back Seat. The first team showed, some pep Friday night. We hope all our games will be as successful as the one with Gurnee. A party of four girls took a delightful moonlight tour around Johnsburg in Petesch's Packard limousine the other evening. Miss Pryor is going to make stenogs out of us. She is going to take the typewriter on the stage and let the rest of the school watch us work. The junior basket ball team was defeated last Taesday night by a team picked from the sophs and seniors. This was the second time they were beaten this season, the score being 18 to 11. Mr. Wells, In chem: "Most everything in the book is assumed."

If anyone has the desire to know hew the fish use their wings ask Mr. Tallmadge. The physiology class was complimented on the splendid improvement in the health rules. Miss Richmond is Carrying on her geometry classes in a game fashion. It makes it a lot more interesting. Miss Stockebrand prophesied that the sewing I class will have a shot gun (wonder what she means) quiz on flax. Addison and Steele sorely haven't got anything on Eng. II class in essays. We see a bright future for some of the students. . Dick Stenger has a lot of inspirations in zoology. His favorite phrase when he becomes excited is, "Mister, mister, let me speak." The sewing classes have started to make Christmas presents. I'm sure the persons that receive those presents will be very pleased. There surely is a talkative bunch in the zoology class. Some in the assembly thought there would be no one left in the class when a number were sent to the assembly for talking. We were very pleased with the game the first team played the other night. The Gurnee boys had the disadvantage of not being used to a small floor, altho their score kept rising towards the last of the game. Most of the essays in Eng. II class Seem to be written about the modern "Flapper" and "Shiek," Judging from the essays the school must be over run with them and the majority will be old maids and bachelors. Miss Stockebrand made the assignment in physiology to draw three kinds of worms found in the human body. Stockebrand: "The tapeworm may be found in the encyclopedia; the hookworm in zoology text, and-- Ida: "Where will we find the angle wi»nl(» picture of innocence). ' Adele Pufahl.

We wonder what girl went Bailing on Bernie Newman's hair waves last Thursday. If the orchestra l&eps up the good work they will be playing in the Chicago theatre. Mr. Tallmadge* in gen. science: ' Don't make any more noise than you possibly can." Elsie Regner and Adeline Parkins have been sporting their twin dresses the last few days. Martha Miller has gone into the bead business. She is kept busy morning, noon and night. Elmer Freund and Leo Herbes are' impatiently waiting for Santa Clans. He promised thum each a rattle. Winnie Bylsma is hoping that Santa Claus will bring Mr. Tallmadge some pencils as he is always borrowing one. The freshman class takes this opportunity to congratulate the first team on their good work last Friday evening. Mr. Tallmadge's history class has been reviewing Alexander the Great. When they are thru studying him they will know every dingle fact. Adeline Perkins, McHenry's queen. Since Miss Perkins and Miss Regner have been wearing dresses .alike Mr. Tallmadge can't help but get them mixed: A Lesson In a Cow A class in French at a co-educational college was orally translating a story about a cow from French into English. One girl persistently called the cow "he" until the professor stopped her short and said, "He is she, miss, we milk her in the next sentence. w and no |tense was tl$p "f|f' were exL .. . P* would strilW*!^ ethfcrs ^Ofrfng snd expecting fce IrettM make a home run or at least a safe hit The pitcher looked around at the bases and the catcher got ready to receive the ball. The men on the bases were ready to run and Casey was ready to hit the ball if he possibly could. The pitcher then threw the ball. It came with great •SfiftjHM and it was curving. to swing at the hall a* it approached. Now what do you think happened? Did Casey hit the ball or did he strike out? The game depended upon what Casey would do. Weil he did neither thing. Tto ball curved too far and it did not go over the 'plate. He got a walk. s ; ? By Wm. Nye. The Great Casey at l*t Casey was up at bat. The score was tie between the two leading teams. This was the last inning of the last game of the season and this game decided the world's championship. Three men were on the bases and two outs had already been made. Casey had two strikes and three balls already called on him. Everybody in the grandstand and bleachers yelled and cheered. The reason of this was that Casey was one of the best hitters of that season. He made home runs frequently and he 'was next to the leading home ran hrtter. Some of the people in tiie stands were yelling for him to hit a homer. Others were yelling for Hie pitcher to strike him out. And so it can easily be imagined that excitement was everywhere on the Add. . Many policemen were there to keep order among the people as many to | COMMERCIAL NOTES If it wouldn't be for the answer book I wonder what the bookkeeping class would do. Jesse will have to do some typewriting in order to make up 'liis work he missed last week. If it hadn't have been for the annex last year, the bookkeeping class would be all right this year. William and Augustine must be pretty good public accounters, because they are now looking over the athletic books. There are very few of the stenography I students who will be able to take part in the Woodstock typewriting contest. Millie is pretty good at typewriting, but it seems as if she does not care very much about her shorthand, because the tyepwriter comes in more handy to write letters to her friends. The stenography I students, who are taking bookkeeping, have been allowed to watch Emily typewrite and now everyone of the stert. I students is trying to typewrite as fast as she does without looking at the keyboard School Calendar for 1923 and 1924 Hebron at McHenry......... .Dec. 18 Huntley at Huntley . .. .Dec. 21 Crystal Lake at C.
