McHENRY HIGH PLAtS WAUCONDA NEXT FRIDAY Tomorrow n:ght the first game of the season will be p'ayed in the new gym. Everything is in readiness for as good a game as you have ever seen. Wauconda and McHenry have been pretty evenly matched for the last few years, but our boys are going to show you in thei^ first game that they can beat them and do it up right this year. There will be two games, one between the two first teams and another between the seconds. You know that we have four hundred seats to fill and that we want the gym filled, so come out Friday and help us do it. The prices for tickets will be S5 cents for adults and 25 for children under twelve. Season tickets, good for nine games, can be bought at the door for $2.00 or $1.16 for association members. Basket Ball Schedule Nearly Complete Coach Stringer has nearly completed his schedule for the coming season. The two games he has in doubt are with St. Thomas, Rockford, and Dundee. The schedule he has now complete is as follows: • Home Games v : JlptofTew* pec. 5. Wauconda -- -- 5 ^|)ec. 12 Woodstock Pec. 19, Huntley Pec. 26, Hebron No games during holidays! 'Jan. % Jan. 9, Jan. 10,*Dundee_? Jan. 16, Hebron* Jan. 23, Jan. 24, Crystal Lake Jan. 31, Woodstock Feb. 6, Marengo Feb. 7, Crystal Lake Feb. 13* St Thomas, Rockford ? Feb. 20, Feb. 21, Libertyville On Friday of last week each student was given one season ticket to sell to outsiders. The price of these tickets is $2.00. You save $1.15 by buying a season ticket, that is if you intend to come to every game as we expect you to. / The same boys that played on the firstt and second teams of last year are out for practice and working "hard. The people who saw these boys play last year will surely want to see them again, so buy a season ticket and come to the new high school on the dates under "home games" ia tha schedule. Hot Staff A daily paper showed a picture of an automobile that ran into a steel lamp post. The front springs were wedged so tight around the post that an acetylene torch was used in freeing the car. "Don't be as tight as the car." Buy a season ticket and help support your team. JWe all hope that an acetylene torch won't need to be used to get $2.00 from your pocket. Libertyville Marengo Published in the Interest of the McHenry Community High School, McHenry, Illinois, Thursday, December 4, 192# 'WW*' he did really mean it. Upon considering the matter we recall the fact that he could not even get Chicago with that wonderful Reinartz last spring when he tried to entertain us after a basket ball game. For this reason we have come to the conclusion that he must have tuned on WTAS (Elgin) with the head phones, dozed away unconsciously and heard the announcer say that the next selection would be "Och do Liber Seight" by a band from Leipzig, Germany. After the station had syrned off, he was in a few minutes awakened by the static and recalling the announce ment, "Leipzig, Germany," went on to believe that he had a foreign country. But of course this could happen to the best of radio fans. We certainly wish all the faculty could tune in some foreign station because, they show a different attitude.; for the'?: next. few days. Even the students have great imagination. The day following Mr. Stringer's report, Albert Stilling reported that he had tuned in Egypt. It was hard to figure out just how he got it, but we have a pretty good idea. A1 probably thought because he had a five tube Grebe he could get almost twice as far as Mr. Stringer so he made his estimation and told us the next day. You people who do not have a radio in your homes do not realize what it is. Oh, most of the fans have a wonderful imagination. Start the season right. SENIOR CLASS NOTES One of the alumni, Herman Nye, was semi about this fair city over the week end. Everybody, buy a season ticket now and save money later. Some very good games on the schedule this year. The pihysics class will have to write a physics text book. The present text book used is always wrong according to their ideas. The physics class was thinking of going to Chicago some Saturday and go thru a steel mill. Whether this is carried out remains to be seen. Gus and Bernard gave their weekly speeches in American history with this result, Gus shows signs of a little improvement, but Bernie, oh my goodness, it is too sad. Those flunking in more than one subject cannot take part in any athletics. This solves the mystery of what happened to several of the star players. We hope they will be back soon. Walk over Wauconda. ^ JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Dont forget the orchestra entertainment, Dec. 17.

FRESHMAN CLASS Part of the ancient history class visited the Field museum and the art institute Saturday with Miss Miller. The trip was enjoyed by all. Most of the freshmen were surprised at the grades they received on their report cards. We found the teachers arent so hard on us as we thought. James, reading sentence in English I, of which Mr. Stringer is teacher: "Hon°?ty and perseverance has made Mr. Str'nger what he is." "He must be looking for a quarter, Mr. Stringer," said Joe. Miss Oates took a letter from John Fay. Said John: "Miss Oates, do you read private letters?" Muss Oates: "No, John, I'm rather discriminating in my choice of literature." In order to keep the absent Hat as low as possible, the upper classmen made a law that the freshmen could eat only a neck, one helping of potatoes, very little gravy, absolutely noj cranberry sauce and only one piece of pie for Thanksgiving dinner. The freshies seem to have complied with that law for they had a hundred, per cent attendance Monday. loud CAT RAT, keeping this up for forty minutes. Miss Oates has all students who do not write three half sheets of typing a day, haying not more than three mistakes on each sheet, type an extra half hour each day. All students who talk during typ'ng period and are caught at it are forced to type an hour after school fof a week. Don't talk, buddies. Harold Jepsoti. Dont forget the game tomorrow. • SCIENCE . . The physics classes are planning a trip to Terra Cotta the first of next week. - The zoology classes are going on a field trip to Mason's hill. Last year a number of snail shells of round and octagnal shape were found there. Al- 40 fossilized leaves that are not found fn the present time. The chemistry class has been studying Hubbard's periodic law. Mr. Hubbard is the youngest well known chemist. The physics class are going to visit the steel mills, 64th street. South Chicago. It is one of the biggest industries in America.' Wallop Wauconda. COOKING Classes Serve Breakfast The cooking classes prepared a breakfast last week in which all the food was ordered, prepared and served by the girls.

Mr. Fisher was the superintendent of the McHenry school fifteen years ago. Since then he has been principal at Dundee, R0ck Island and Peoria. We are all anxious to hear from him. , . Mr. Duker also announced that there will be musical numbers at the dedication given by the glee clubs and the orchestra. There will be exhibits in the rooms to show the public what kind of work the students are doing. We hope that everyone will turn out for we 4aow.you will enjoy it.

Buy your ticket now and come to every game. We need your support. Girls' basket ball started Friday night Eight girls turned out, enough to make one good team, but where are the rest of the girls? Why is it that all teachers like to give tests Friday afternoon ? Anyone solving this problem please call at Em Se Ach Ess office and get reward. Ida certainly uses all her surplus energy since we got our rings. She spends a certain amount of time every day polishing hers (and shd's so scientific in her new work). Before the year is over the Spanish I class expects to introduce a new book to linguists entitled "Simplified Spanish," by Richard Overton and Ernest Barbian, Inc., published by M. C. H. S. Publishing company. What would Milton say if he'd wake and hear the parody on "On His Blindness?" We heard the first line (thru a mistake). When we consider how fat, Fat is, etc. We are not sure who is the hero of the poem, there are so many competitors for that title. A number of plays, from which the three to be given by the junior class will be selected, have been ordered. We have decided to give three short plays instead of one long one. This will give us a better variety so that everyone is sure to be pleased with at least one. Under Miss Miller's coaching we hope to give it soon. Everyone is welcome to attend this entertainment. There are no admission charges. Fill the gym. olate and apricots. v The entire breakfast was served without Miss Stockebrand's aid, as we were to demonstrate just what value we had received from our preceding lessons. Stuffed potatoes were prepared in c'ass by first baking the potatoes and then cutting a small slice from the top, so that the inside could be removed. The potatoes were mashed, milk and butter were added and then the potato was put back in the shell and put in the oven to brown. Recipes were obtained in which left over cereals could be used, so as to prevent waste. The cereals were cooked one day and then the next day some dish composed mainly of the left over cereal was prepared. Tapioca, rice, creairi of wheat and rolled oats were the cereals used. Pancakes, fritters, cookies and puddings were made. A few of the girls brought their food from home and prepared a large enough quantity for home. Macaroni was prepared in several different ways. Everyone cooked the macaroni, but added different foods later. Combinations of tomato and cheese, cheese and white sauce, boiled ham and white sauce and bacon and white sauce were made. The macaroni was placed in a baking dish with bi;ead crumbs over the top and baked. The home project for this week is to prepare a breakfast and also prepare one macaroni dish. Last week we prepared one tapioca dish. Sample packages were given out at school, with a recipe book, from which we took a recipe for some tapioca dish. EXCHANGE COLtlMN IT ere v #s a very good theme tit the Libertyville high school paper on Word in the English Language." They seem to think that 'Se- vice" 's tVe greatest word; We think that they have good choice. The L. T. H. S Rattle has a column called "Concentrated Rays" which we think is very good. Here are some say<ngs that are given: The think tank is like a gas tank in one respect, it won't take you anywhere if it's empty. The reason most people don't recognize opportunity when they meet it, is because it usually goes around wearing overalls and looking like hard work. LONG DISTANCE WEEK SPECIAL Mr. Stringer came to school last Wednesday as happy as could be. On entering he immediately approached a crowd of boys, standing in the hall, an broke out that he got Germany the • ^1 night before on his three tube Reinjartz set. The*boys of course laughed at him, 'thinking it to be a fish story. ' . • But he was serious about it and re y peated his statement the second time in earnest. He was proud of it, too. Some of the boys later said that he was not joking and that they could by the expression on his face that .

We hope everybody had plenty to eat last Thursday. Most of us look as if we had too much. Joe Barbian is still up to his old boyish pranks. Never mind, Joe, we were all freshies oitee and not so very long ago. Art Krause is getting desperate over his red cjards. Next thing we know well find one at the teachers killed. Our new auditorium Is finished. We held our first convocation in it Monday morning. Everyone seemed well COMMERCIAL NOTES The bookkeeping class has started to-use the cash book. We find it very hard to understand. Miss Oates must have thought we were very dumb, for after she finished explaining it the first time she had to turn around and explain it all over again.

It tells of the adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Jiggs and Mutt and Jeff in the region of "Blankety Blank Verse." Here are some of the worst scenes: Scene: A court yard- in the Palace of Jiggs. (Jiggs is found seated. He is smoking and as he sits he muses). J'ggs: To go or not to go, that is the question. * Whether with Maggie or to Dinty Moore's?

Jiggs: Fear not, sweet wife, all's well that ends well, so You and Orsino got thee to the show And I will take this fellow to the place Where they will mend his broken limbs right firm , ' And afterward will meet thee in the stalls.

They carry Jiggs out an3 with a clang the ambulance departs for the hospital. . 1 PAPER NUMBER TELL ITn ted States of ours went to with Spa n. We did not have to enter that buttle--no foe was intruding upon us. We fought the Spanish American war as. we have fought •oth|g> wars, with a conviction that the right, .• herever it is found, deserves support., in the interest of Cuban peace and justice we declared war on her opprqf*f sors, the Spanish. ^ Somewhere in the mountains Cuba, surrounded by well nigh impassable' marshes and bush growths, lay Garcia, leader of the insurgents.^ .

From the coast to Garcia was a journey thru a country whose natives were as treacherous as its marshes. Yet thru the brush, over rocky barriers and past filthy creeks went Rowan until, three weeks later, he appeared on the further boundary. He had given h:s message to Garciiu Major Rowan has been awarded * - ; cross for his distinguished service. Of course the reward is about twentyfive years late, it should have been awarded some time in 1899 or 190Q. • But regardless of the dates. Major Rowan has been rewarded, that is hgk-r ~ portant. 7r ; The distinguished service cross Is v one of a countless number of awards given in this country to men who hare proven their worth. This paper and many others could be completely filled if we were to make a list of the prizes, rewards, and scholarships which ati ^ granted every year to young men aSd women of America. At first glance it would seem iflipossible to list the courageous acts and ' the fine achievements for which these" honors are awarded. Looking over the list, however, one fact is strikingly apparent. No matter what the prise - • or ta whom. it is given, it is always given for the same reason.

We surely have much to be thankful for and since our blessings last year in and year out, perhaps thanksgiving spirit can be appropriate after the holiday is past.
