WHAT DID YOU CONTRIBUTES TO THIS ISSUE OF THE PAPER? • -A student turning, to our page in fhe Plaindealer and reading it from cne end to the other in a few minutes, lays It down without a thought about the Amount of work and care required to make that page possible. The same student does not hesitate to criticize the contents of the issue and seldom contributes the kind of mater- j program in about eight weeks Especially Mrs. Will Smith, who gave some rare plants, and Mrs. John Fay, who gave a window box filled with a variety of different plants. *Mr. Hodge, who has no place to keep his plants during the winter, gave us his plants to keep for him with the agreement that we have the benefit of them in the winter and give them back to him in the spring. He has some beautiful ones. Mrs. Bobb furnished a pepper plant and two begonias. We are also very thankful to Lyman Mueller, Dorothy Poet and John Wilson. Miss Peet brought in a number of different plants, among them being a very large dahlia. Mr. Wilson gave enough seeds for everyone in the class, besides a number of tulip bulbs and a lily. Altogether We Have?, one hundred and fifty plants and we hope to keep them growing all the year around. We will keep them in school during the winter months and plant them out j four study periods in a day, where can we find eight? Solve the problem and bring the answer to the seniors.

Why does Robert Conway always sit across from Dorothy Marshall? Robert says it is'Ml accident, but we don't think so. Mr. Tallmadge wfil have nothing to do with those that do not have their lessons. If you don't believe it ask Bernard Newman and Earl Conway. We want to warn the freshies that we will not hold ourselves responsible for any broken arms, legs or ruined suits at our annual Hallowe'en party. Elmer Zuelsdorf is soijie mechanic. The other night we were riding in Cecil's car and as the lights would not work Elmer got out to see .what the trouble was. Crawling under the car we heard him say: "Why, no wonder our lights wouldn't work, the ground wire isn't dragging." •.Remember way back when-- We used to sing "Good morning ta you, good morning to you, we're aill in our places with sunshiny faces." If a pupil came late to school, Miss Claxton would-have us sing MA*nt you ashamed you sleepy head.' ial which they would like the issue to contain. Each student should try to contribute at least a line each issue. By making themselves reporters every student can turn over some material to the proper member of the staff and by so doing the paper will be representative of the school and also the student body. The editors never have too much material and it certainly would be an easier task to cut material than it is for them to hunt for each bit of live news. Every student should be able to point to some section of the paper with pride when asked the question, What did you contribute to this issue of the paper? \ G. G- Stringer. Coma out and help us beat Woodstock, Saturday. ATHLETICS McHenry traveled to Woodstock last Saturday and were defeated in the second game of the season. Woodstock succeeded in scoring 51 points, but our boys could not get a point. The final score wasr 51 to 0 in favor of W. H. S. During the first five minutes of play quarter back Verigo of Woodstock succeeded in making a pretty forward pass to the right end, which netted them their first touchdown. Both teams played a very good game with the exception of a few fumbles which are hard to avoid in foot ball. The M. C. H. S. boys were badly beat and rather handicapped Saturday for only one of the regular back field men was out to play and an altogether different and new back had to_be made in a few minutes Saturday afternoon. end, along with John Verigo, quarter back for Woodstock, were the two outstanding stars, altho everyone played a good game. . " Next Saturday, Oct. ll, the M. C. H. S. will meet Woodstock on our own field at 2:30 p. m. to try and even things ufi: a bit. The boys are out to beflt Woodstock if they never do another thing, so eons op««t and back the tQqp<>#r you are worth. Bernard Nowman. Come out and help us beat Woodstock Saturday. . MUSIC It has been definitely arranged thatj the Crystal Lake orchestra and thei McHenry orchestra will give a joint One rehearsal will be held in each of the two towns before the final performances are given. This appearance of the high school orchestras will give the public some idea of the work that is being done by these organizations. For most of the students who play, .this will probably be the largest orchestra performance they will ever be in. In addition to the director and faculty members who are in the orchestra work, there will be more thap forty students. They should give a good evening's pogram. - - Thursday Mr. Koerner will announce who is to be in the Boys' Glee club. The boys are becoming quite musical.

EXCHANGE COLUMN Lake View must have some high school. We notice by their paper, The Lake-re-View, that they have a circulation of aim st 3 000 copies, of which nearly tv o thousand were purchased by students alone. The m t impressive rites in Lake View hist ry were held in payment of Lake Vie, 's last tribute to the late Mr. B, Fi: nk BroWn, its former principal. " . Lake V'jw's basket ball squad has commence 1 the season. Forty candidates appeared for the first work out and altogether nine teams were formed. • v We are also exchanging with the "We-Go" of West Chicago community high schoc.l. The "We-Go" made its debut on Oct. 1 and from the looks of freshman' the paper it will keep going at a good Representative Charles H. Francis of Woodstock, Who is & candidate for re-election to the Illinois legislature at the coming fall election, is again making the rounds of the three counties which constitute this, the eighth district. Mr. Francis was in McHenry last Friday and while here called upon quite a number of the business men and citizens who he chanced to meet The candidate feels that in order to be returned to office at the coming election he must receive the undivided support of voters in McHenry county. Lake county has two candidates in the persons of Wm. Weiss and Thos. Graham and should these two men be nominated it will be a question as to who will win out between McHenry county's candidate and Jackson of Boone county. The voters of McHenry county surely cannot afford to be without representation at Springfield and therefore should get behind Mr. Francis. The Woodstock man, during his two terms at Springfield, has proven himself a real friend to the farmer and on two occasions has saved them hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxation thru h's ability to. defeat bills that were anything but favorable to them. Mr. Francis is also a booster for hard roads. We owe him our support. Rev. R. E. , Harkness of Wfcupun, Wis., has taken up his new charge at the Congregational churgh at Woodstcrk.
