Since the seniors have been editing the high school paper for several weeks, we juniors - have again, taken over the management.

He has such a stiff neck, poor boy. Part of the junior class is going to Chicago to pick oat decorations for the prom. Well, now that die play is over we have something else to. think about-- the prom. Any one can plainly tell summer is coming. Where are Bill Beth's wise (frocks in chemistry ? We take this opportunity to thank tliose who helped entertain between acts at the play Thursday evening. Talk about your industrious boys. Our tennis court will probably be ready about next year at this time. Where, oh where were our typewriters Friday? We surely felt terrific because we were deprived of our daily (?) practice. SOPHOMORE NOTEf Why the big rush for a drink Monday, Jess? Miss Loyola Lyons of Cary visited school Monday afternoon. Four more weeks of school left, in' eluding the week of exams. Dick Overton makes up life lost sleep in the eighth period. Arthur Kennebeck has returned to school after an absence on account of sickness. The warm weather makes the pupils restless and is beginning to show on their work. - The junior class play was a success and the juniors proved them selves very talented in acting. Ask Mr. Stringer how much the English II class know about short stories after studying them a semes tcpf Mr. Tallmadge's botany class had a very interesting field trip Monday morning. The results were many flowers and sleepy and tired students. FRESHMAN NOTES / Miss Loyola Lyons of Cary has been visiting school for a few days. We will have to give the juniors credit for their play,, it was very good. Only fifteen more days of school, but it sure seems as tho they will be hot <Thes. Only eleven more days before the test and then for the old swimmin' hole again. There surely were a 'number of sleepy heads in school Friday morning after the junior banquet. If the pupils had been Cranky Friday morning we wonder h6w the tdchers would have been. We all enjoyed The Charm School very much and our class was highly represented by-John Wilson. We are completing our tennis Mr*.- : Stringer could use more lielp. The temperature in the study hall Monday afternoon was ninety in the shade and no shade to be found. We would like to see Bill Martin in a real debate once if he gets as excited as he did in our history class. The botany clasp went on a field trip Monday and succeeded in bringing' back a three foot , spotted adder snake. We freshies want to go on a field trip, but Mr. Wells said he didnt know whether we could^fcehav* selves or not* The ancient history class has been debating on Caesar and Alexander and we have not come to the conclusion who was the greatest.

"The Charm School," on last Thursday night. Every seat in the theatre had been reserved the day before the play and we-are very sorry We had to turn people away. The entire amount received for tickets was something over two hundred eighteen dollars, which is more, than any other Class ever got and we are very pleased with the results. We want to take this> time to thank every one that helped us out in regard to furniture. We, are very grateful to Mildred Zuelsdorf and her relatives, from whom we got most of our stage setting. From reports of other people we discovered that the play was liked very much and that every one took their part well. We hope you will give us as much supjport in. our .other undertakings. Thank you, ' ~ Angela Petaech. THE SENIOR CLASS PLAT The senior class is working hard, with the help of Miss Pryor, on the annual play presented by the class. The play is to be "Come Out of the Kitchen, an entertaining comedy in three acts. The play is one of a very good reputation and has been a great success in Chicago, New York and London. If nothing prevents the play will be given on Monday, May 26, at ,.thf Empire- theatre. Those who were present at the play, "Assisted by Sadie," given by this same class last year, are acquainted with the talent of this group of students. From experience at the junior class play,* those who wish to attend are kindly asked to reserve their seats and avoid the confusion. Watch in the Em Se Ach Ess for further notice concerning the |>lay. table portraying a farm scene and. a completely furnished doll h^uae of the first grade. Each of the grade rooms exhibited a splendid lot of art work; also booklets covering each subject that is taught. People visiting for a length of time could get a definite idea of what work the pupils are doing. No special attempt was made by the high school to exhibit work. The visitors seemed interested in the zoological preservation work of the eoology classes and the sewing which was placed on display by the sewing classes. We sincerely hope that the people of McHenry enjoyed the exhibit We anticipate to make nest year's exhibit even more successful. GIRLS* ATHLETICS Tfce girls are still playing baseball, but it doesn't seem to be as much of an attraction as basket ball. Some of the games are very exciting, especially when they play against the boys. We all admit we are trying to out-class Babe Ruth. : Wert McHenry, INQUIRING REPORTS*- Question: Should the seniors be required to take examinations the last quarter? Answer--Eleanor Phalin: No, they have many other responsibilities at this time of the school year besides studying for exams and I think their extra time should be used in preparing for their class play, class day exercises, etc. Then, too, the teachers know by this time whether or«not their pupils are prepared to graduate therefore they do not need an examination at the close to determine this matter. Answer--Cornelia Freund: No, that is if he or she has received an average of 82% per cent in the last quarter's ' daily grade. This plan has been adopted in the last couple of years and is a reasonable and a fa1' chance for seniors. It makes some work industriously, to the finish. By the time one has acquired the classification of senior he has taken so many exams that the loss of one would be of little account considering value. There are so many things the seniors must accomplish at that time of the year and to be exempt from the last exam relieves them of a great strain. Answer--Olive Vasey: No, the seniors have so much work to do the last quarter that they should not be required to take th^, exams, that is, if they haye a daily average of over eighty for the last quarter or an average of eighty* for th% other quarters of the year. N. Answer--Ida Reynolds: No, unless they have a poor standing. They are too busy getting ready for graduation. Answer--Elizabeth Mc&be: No, they are on their last year of high school and have the class play and graduation exercises to work on without worrying about the exams. SCIENCE . Hie ^chemistry class hove 'finished their four thousand word source themes on the subject given them by Mr. Wells. The physics class wired the doll house which Mr. Newman built and it is now equipped with electric lights and all modern conveniences. Mr. Tallmadge's botany class finally went on. their field trip Monday morning. They have been planning on the trip for over a week, but were unable to go sooner on account of the bad weather. They found a great many different kinds of flowers and were very proud of their collection. William Befit.

HUMOR Now You Know A gentleman was one day visiting a lunatic asylum and while looking over the grounds he met a patient to whom he said: "Well, my good man, why are you here?" The lunatic replied as follows: "Well, I married a widow with a grown up daughter and then my father married that same step-daughter, that made my wife the motherin- law of her father-in-law and my father became my step-son. Then my step-mother, the daughter of my wife, had a son and that boy of course was my brother, because he was my j office Hours father's son, but he was also the son of my wife's step-daughter and therefore her grandson that made me the grandfather Ot my stepbrother.- "Then my wife haoT a" son so my mother-in-law, the step-sister of my wife, is also his grandmother because he is her step-son's child; my father is the brother-in-law of my child because his step-sister is his wife; I am the brother of my own son, who is also the son of my step-grandmother; I am my mother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I am my own grandfather. * That's why I'm here, sir."

It is always the student who plans his course who doesn't have to do home work. Each subject should be studied at a certain time and for a certain length of time, that depending upon how long the lesson is and how difficult that particular subject is for the individual student. With such a schedule no student ought to worry about his school work. If it is necessary for him to do home work, this should also be planned to be done at a definite time so that he has some time for his own recreation.
