We all think that this will be a very exciting game. On Saturday of last week the McHenry third team went to Woodstock to play the Woodstock lights (120 lbs). They played a very exciting game of basket ball and were defeated by a score of 15 to 17. After this gattie they played another eight minutes and succeeded in defeating the Woodstock boys by a 4core of 4 to 2. This shows that they were equaly matched. Wm. M.

One member of each class and one member of the faculty will be asked weekly. The question: "Is there any value to an examination?" : By Miss Richmond. An examination is ftf g*eet #alue to any pupil, I believe, because it makes necessary a review of the entire subject. No matter h'ow carefully the daily lessons may have been prepared, the review fixes the work more clearly in the mtad, and therefore increases the benefit to the student. An examination also helps to make a student think clearly and coolly, tho sometimes a good many tests are required before a pupil acquires this ability. By Cornelia Freund. An examination is valuable to both the student and teacher for many reasons. Before an examination class reviews as well as individual reviews in &. subject are helpful to the pupil. They call to mind the contents of the work covered and gives the instructor the opportunity once more to emphasize the important things and explain difficult portions previously not clearly understood to the class. An examination reveals to the teacher what e. ffe, ct .h is or her meth. od of te.a, chingj i get, IT van.h oe paper f-in i.s h, ed,, is having on his or her pupils and:* _ , .. r\ . . - SOPHOMORE NOTES Modtem history students are having one grand time drawing maps. We wonder what's the matter with Gobby. She's getting thin. Is it the mumps ? We must admit Berteel Spancer and Ernie Barbian make wonderful teachers in zoology. If you want to know the particulars about the milk strike ask any of «the Eng. II students. Miss Pryor was making eyes at Zeke. Oh Miss Pryor, we'd never think of doing such a thing. Miss Pryor has changed our seats in the assembly. She doesn't like the sweet glances darting across the room* The Latin II class are having difficulty in the difference between future more vivid and less vivTd sentences. Wonder if Dick's got the mumps? One of his cheeks is all swollen tip. But maybe he contracted the disease during the cold spell Saturday. Mr. Stringer in Eng.

Ou^ boys had a very good start and had A basket a few seconds after the tip-off, Ibut the good work could not be kept «p. The first team had the same luck thruout the game, but on a larger »cale. Things looked pretty bad for the Crystal Lake boys because' our boys had them by a lead of 14 to 3 at the end of the half, but we are forced to give the Crystal Lake boys credit -for not losing spirit, and at the end of the game McHenry was defeated by a score of 14 to 23. This is the hardest game that our boys have lost this ; season and we are all hoping that they will not .lose any more such * games.-. f, .-H' McHenry tifcC FG. FT. PF. FTM whether or not they are proving successful. The grades acquired show the teacher the progress and capability of the student and provide assistance in grading. Examinations stimulate deep thinking and require accuracy, both of which are necessary to any student for success. They also serve as a profitable guide. By Harold Bacon. Yes, an examination serves as a review to the student. It gives a teacher a chance to find out what the student really knows. In daily recitation the student is only asked one question from the lesson and can find that out by underhand methods if necessary. In the examination he must know the whole text in order that he may answer the entire examination. Therefore an examination, is of value both to the student and the teacher. By Clara Barbian. Yes, there is a value to examinations. If we didn't have exams the students could copy all of their daily work and get good grades, but the exams show whether you worked or not. By Albin Anderson. Yes, it is very valuable because it is test to show how much or many of the important facts of the particular subject the student remembers. It is unfortunate but true that some students remember the facts for merely one or two recitations, whereby they gain little or no benefit from the subject that they are studying. ' GreenH.

Just because you're a freshman you can't always pass for one hundred and twenty pounds. . , ^ Milly: "I suppoas so, that's whtre I always get it." Addressed to one of our fellow students: "And just because you use salad oil on your hair, young mail, don't think you're so well dressed." Instructor in psychology: "Know nothing, do you believe in dreams?" Know Nothing: "I did until last night when I dreamed I past this cpurse." Wrecked motorist, phoning: "Send assistance at once. I've turned turtle." Voice from the other end: "My dear sir, this is a garage. What you want is an aquariam." $•. ' HOME ECONOMICS Next semester a course in homemaking will take the place of sewing II. This course is a combination of ; home-nursing, home management and house construction. The remodeling problems and home projects of the sewing I classes will be on display this week. These garments may be seen in the windows of both Walsh's and McGee's stores any time between Thursday and Monday. The members of the sewing I class are making small aprons on which no basting is done, but the different attachments the machine are used. This is done in order that the girls will learn how to use these various attachments, which include the hemmer, ruffler and tucker.

HONOR ROLL SYSTEM We want better work in our high school. It has been dpcided that a new system be subsUtvtBd for the honor roll system and we hope this will be an incentive to better work. Of the whole high school, the namee of fifteen students' receiving the highest averages are to be published each quarter. There is no one but what would like to be one of the fifteen and there is no reason why they cannot be if they will work. We consider this a much wiser plan than lowering the standard of the honor roll. We are sure this system will result in much better grades. Let us look for results.

The cold weather seems to have made quite a change in the attendance of the high school pupils. Owing to the fact that we did not know there was to be a paper published last week, there were no senior notes. The sewing II girls, are very much worried over our men's shirts, which must he finished by the end of the quarter. Now that tile task of our long stories is over we are beginning to worry about our book reports. It's a hard life we seniors lead. Lost--"The Pilot" by Cooper. Finder please return to Gladys R. No questions asked. Pim and Carol De- COMMERCIAL NOTES The stenography I class have had the privilege of hearing Herman Nye give a talk on school spirit. No one ever thought of guessing Bernard to be the best bookkeeper in the class, but, according to Miss Pryor'g guess, he is. After this Carl had better hand the excuse to Miss Pryor whenever he comes in late for his typewriting and William had better not jump on his neck and ask hyn where he had been. The pupils in bookkeeping who have finished all their work for this quarter may now atudy their review questions. A. Freund. hy WfA Hv;-- : > ' EDITORIAL / / , Self Starters 's,, { ^ A fault that is often found Th a school is that all the work and developing of new ideas are always left for the "self starters." The students of a school can always be divided into two groups-- "self starters" and those who have to be cranked before they will budge an inch. The "self starters" are never tective Agency please note. satisfied with what i1s 1be.in.*g do*n e, but LyleH.: "Ya know luck's against a?e a,w»y8 on ^ lookout for new me?

It may not be much, but it, is their willingness that counts. Those who have to be cranked ar^| always waiting for some one else to Start with idea's and methods so that f j they may follow and yet not exert: themselves. They always have to be asked and then they either find an excuse or let the work slide. Every school has a few "self start-; ers" but why can't all of the students: have that qualifying habit and make? our school one of a few? Marjory Whiting. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES What we wouldn't give to see Carl with the mumps. Harold Bacon was absent Thursday afternoon and Friday last. Junior book reports due Friday. Will our troubles never end? The junior basket ball team practiced Monday night after supper. Who donated the money for all the hair cuts that came to school Monday ? The fellows played some game Friday night. We surely are proud of them. Jesse has some "sheba" hair eat. At least we thought he was one in disguise. \ The junior class extends its sympathy to Walter (Byd) JOKES ^that^i the guy I'm laying fer,^ r muttered the hen as the fanner crossed the yard.'
