"Hiese have been lacking in'the past. The stage equipment has arrived and ,> 4* being installed, so that we can have I Ottr entertainments in the auditorium. The first convocation was given by the orchestra last Wednesday. Ernie Barbian announced the numbers to be played. This week the glee clubs will entertain the high school and to keep up the good work Mr. Tal'madge, Mr. Koerner, Mary McAndrews and two other students, who Eave not yet been chosen, are going to give an insjtrumental opera. Another of our plans is to have demonstrations by the deferent classes. The chemistry and physics classes will combine to give ofce program- Last Thursday all the girls of the - high school met in the auditorium and were urged to come out for basket ball. Clara Barbian, Floribel Bassett, Mary Brefeld, Lillian Buss and Berteel HSpencer told the girls the value of athletics. - "V; croquettes were made. Both were prepared in practically the same way. The fish was combined with mashed potatoes, eggs and butter and then rolled into balls. The balls were rolled in bread crumbs and egg. The potato croquettes were prepared in the same way, only omitting the fish. These were shaped in cylinder shapes. As a Thanksgiving lesson taffy apples were made and nuts were fried and salted. A'raonds were used. After shucking, the husks were removed and the nuts Were dried and fried unt:l a very delicate brown. They were removed from the oil and put on brown paper, which absorbs the grease very readily. The nuts were salted immediately upon being taken from the oil. - PAPER NUMBER II Music hath charins to sooth the savage husband, wife or child. Bring them all. Dec. 17, at-8:15. 1' am.., 7- C'Y IS YOUR" CHILD HALF AWAKE? One hears upon every hand the statement made that conditions in every faze of life have changed very greatly during the past twenty years. 1%is change has seriously effected the raising of girls and boy and young men and women. Our boys and girls have inherited the same likes and dislikes and the same desires as those inherited "by boys and girls of twenty years ago. They are being raised, however, under such different conditions that some of the problems which parents and teachers meet are vastly different than those met in the past. One of these problems which Is facing us today and of which the parent, teacher and school should take precognition is the question of school boys and girls being out in the evening, away from home in the evening during the school week. From a teacher's standpoint, we find it impossible for a student to do good work and be out in the evening previous to a day of school work. We are urging in school time and time again that pupils make their plans such that they will allow them to be at home at a reasonable hour on every night preceding school. Since this is such a vital question in the education and .physical hea'th of our boys and girls, parent and teacher ought to co-operate very closely to correct as - fast as possible this condition. # That this is a serious question is iMind by the fact that a check recently made on our grade school shows that fifty per cent of the boys and girls between the ages of six and fourteen had been away from home after 9:00 p. m. on an evening preceding a school day. 1^ seems to me that we cannot expect children to do good work in school as long as we allow them to have less than eight or nine hours sleep in the early part of the night. j One of the reasons whioh boys and| girls are giving parents for doing j different things to which the parents) object 's that all the other boys and! gills of their age are doing the same; thing. It means, therefore, that the only way is by unifying efforts on all parts and seeing that our boys and girls are at home at a decent hour In the evening. The above check was made upon the -grade school. There is no quest on but should we take a check of students of high school age we would find very much more startling conditions than was found among the boys and girls of the grade school age. WWe are sending our boys and girls t» school to prepare them for-man and womanhood. The on'y way they can Make this preparation is by coming to the" school room with a mind that has not been dulled by lack of sleep. We feel that it is up to us, as parents and teachers, to take some recognition of the above facts. C. H. Duker. 1- PERSONALS AS the students of the M. C. H. S. are glad to see Barnie, Louis and Bill back to school. We hope they will arrange to stay awhile. Mr. Koerner: "Anna, what areyou chewing?" Anna: "A piece of a brooi%*v-V' Mr. Koerner:. "What?" ;• Anna: "A piece of a broom* s Mr. Koerner: "For goodness sake, p!ease put it in the basket." Anna very modestly, yet obediently, pei formed her duty. We are surprised to know that John Fay knows when the French declared war on Austria. He said it was in the fourteenth or eighteenth century. Miss Oates has a habit of giving themes ranging from five hundred to one thousand words. If you wish to know the particulars ask Torchy or Sibre. - A New Claea fill RahfRah! Rah! Rah! Buy the paper by the ream, Finish up this given theme, Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah! At the end of the semester there will be a rummage sale of stenography books. They are new and in good condition and wi'l not be needed after the half. Draw your own conclusion. Miss Oates must have had some practice in golf because her tutor, who should have said "Fore!" must have said "Five" 'considering the themes we get. A few donts that are well to observe : , • Don't--look at the keyboard. Don't--whisper. Don't--listen to Clyde. Don't--go to sleep when writing shorthand. Don't--use the . "hunt and peck" system. Don't--plan 4o go home right after school as Mtis Oates will change your plans. Paul's interest in the M. C. H. S. paper is deeply appreciated. He contributes some of our best newsie items for instance: We suggest that Bill Martin would buy his own compacts hereafter. We wish to offer an apology to Anna for the mistake made this week. It was a bloom instead of a broom she was nibbling. Edwin Michels must be out stepping these moonlight nights. Ask Bernita. NOTICE!

It certainly was wonderful walking thru the mud on parade, but it does get good results. D'agrams of mechanical devices were made by each physicist. All these were original and featured the thermostat. Some 'very good diagrams were made and frotoi these the students are going to make working models which will be placed on exhihit during the dedication next Friday. Most of the models will woi;k automatically by electricity, alternating the lighting of different co'.ored bulbs. people came to give us their support and we hope they were pleased with our winning both games. We think that our parade was quite a success, but we didn't get it without some labor. Wednesday, with the advice of Mr. Stringer and the 0. K. of Mr. Duker, we started our plans and got everybody excited. -Friday all the students brought their horns and it was every bit as noisy all day at the building as it was on the march. We were not to be held down. And then we had the big parade. The mud I think made it a little more exciting, altho perhaps a little bard on the shoes. No one seemed to feel bad, however, because of it. Let's have just as many people at the gym a week from Friday. It always makes the boys fefel good and helps them win. "Watch |qt wg Will be heard from again.f'c '• GIRLS' ATHLETICS Girls, girls, girls! We are calling for more girls to participate in basket ball so that we may develop some real good teams this year. The upper classes--juniors and seniors--have j about the same number out as last | year so that they are fairly well! represented. But where are the sophs' and freshies? Dont ' be afraid to ! come out and show your ignorance of I the game, but just come and leave the | rest to us. We'll show you all we know about it. V j i4i*' " , COOKING CLASS GETS FAT? ^ Fat, as a frying medium, was studied in the cooking classes by preparing foolls* which were cooked in deep fat. Potato chips were made by first pealing and slicing the potatoes, then drying thoroly and frying in '4NP f«t. Tuna IA croquettes and potato Orchestra in Year's Biggest Program The two orchestras, cons:sting of forty students and five teachers, will give their first concert, under the direction of Mr. Sears, in the Crystal Lake auditorium. A full house has been promised, the proceeds of the entertainment going to Crystal Lake. On Dec. 17 the same program will be given in our school auditorium and this time McHenry will receive the proceeds. As it is our orchestra's' first appearance in anything of this kind, it is expected that the auditorium will be crowded. Tickets are on sale at Petesch's and Weber's. They are 60 cents for adu'ts and 35 cents for children. They may be reserved at school.. March . National Emblem Overture Briday Rosfc # Orchestra Cello Solo ..........

Let's have the star team of the year. If the value of persons was deter-i m i n e d by t h e i r w e i g h t , as a r e d i a -J monds, wouldn't Cylde be a fine per-i son ? j Miss O'Sullivan would like to know | the perscription to Paul's pep, but hej informs us that it can't be bought ini a drug store. We are beginning to believe that some of our teachers think that we never had a serious thought. They should see us when we're loosing a basket ball game. The play and players have been selected for our two short sketches and are to be given soon. The plays are entitled "The Minister Pro Tern" and "Before the Play Begins." Miss Miller j is coaching. Everyone is very busy during this time, but we are glad to work hard for it has been rumored thru the halls that we are to have a two weeks' vacation at Christmas time. We were very much alarmed a few days ago, in fact so alarmed that we could hardly believe our eyes, for our "child prodigy," the mammoth Albert, was on the verge of tears and was almost ready to break down and weep when a little iodine was dropped on a scratch on his finger. The chap who performed this cruel operation was Paul Patzke, M. D. Did the world ever before hear of such cruelty? (With apologies to the "Big Boy.") Crystal Lake-McHenry orchestras will present a program of lively and beautiful music in the McHenry high school auditorium at 8:15 on Dec. 17. Tickets at Weber's on the West Side and Petesch's on the East. 50 and 35 -cents. All seats reservable. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The history class is now using the Literary Digest for current topics. The high school had another shock when James Frisby appeared in long "jeans." The English class is nearly finished with Julius Caesar. As soon as Julius Caesar is finished we are going to take up Silas Marner. Mr. Ta'.lmadge, in zoology: "Clarence, what do lobsters eat?** Clarence: "Sir?" Mr. Tallmadge: "Yes." The zoology class is dissecting lobsters. Mr. Tallmadge is hoping tot some good dissections and drawings to exhibit at the dedication of the school on Saturday night. It's quite a while before Christmas, but we have noticed that some of the bad little boys are already beginning to be good in the hope that Santa will fill up their stockings. Some of the light sleeping seniors have begun to make up tor lost sleep in the study hall. They find that they almost always wake up when the session bell * rings, mistaking it for an alarm clock, consequently they sleep more peacefully. Some answers in modern History: France declared war on Austria in tiie seventeenth or eighteenth century. JBismarck was president of France. Maria Theresa was king of Poland. People that had their heads cot off died from the effects of it. HIGH SCHOOL On the evening of Saturday, Dec.j 13, the McHenry eommun'ty highi school will be dedicated. The build-] ing will be thrown open to the public at 7:45 so that visitors may have an opportunity to see the school itself before the program begins. For those people who are interested hi seeing the work which students are doing and who are unable to visit classes during the school week, several exhibits are being prepared. Shortly after the doors open a] physics and general science display will commence in room 202. The exhibit will include both practical and' interesting mechanical devices which j are being designed and built entirely by the students. Seven senior boy-*! will exhibit machines in this room. Chemistry experiments will bte con- i ducted in room 205 by Richard Sten-I ger, Ernest Barbian, Mary McAndrews and Frances May. Among other things the students will make chlorine, and bromine, two of the deadly gases; use during the war. \ James Fay, John Fay and Lyman L Mueiler will be in charge of practical zoological exhibits. They will work while you are watching and trill ex-j plain their products. 1 Other classes will exhibit work done1 during the past quarter. > The orchestra and glee clubs will begin the evening's program promptly at 8:15 and will be followed by Mr. Fisher, the speaker of the evening. You will remember Mr. Fisher as a former superintendent of this high: school. All are cordially invited. lights by a score of 23 to 13. S. Whiting starred for the McHenry light weights by making five field goals and six free throws. Page was next with five points and J. Barbian concluded the scoring by making a field goal. Thomas and E. Conway played an excellent game at guard. After the preliminaries tin McHenry first team came into action by scoring six points before the Wauconda boys had a chance to lealize what was happening. Our boys kept the score going higher and higher un til when the final whistle blew the score stood 34 to 10.

We will undoubtedly name our next oBe Peter the Current. Peter III obtained the disease that our other Peters had and while recuperating at the home of Lyman Mueller he collapsed and died from overeating during Thanksgiving. The next morning Lyman hystercally informed us that Peter III had passed away and that his last wish vas that his obituary should be printed in his beloved paper, the Se Ach Ess. All that we were able to collect regarding his life was: Peter III was born of wish parents in a hollow tree. While fet a young lad he was enduced to join the zoo of the M. C. H. S. He contracted a serious disease which weakened him and, as said before, he died from overeating Thankssriving night in the home of Lyman Mueller. Thus this community loses a wise citizen and the Em Se Ach Ess an interesting reader. ^ Ernest: "Carl, why dont yoa waaftA'^ to be wise?"

Besides walking backwards the kidneys are near the eyes; nervous system along the abdomen and the brain separated into sigments and are spread all over the cord of the stomach. The eyes are made up of thousands of tiny ones and when an object reflects on one the shadows reflect on all of the others. Inside the antennae is a hollow cavity into which the lobster puts three or four grains of sand a year. It acts the same as the organ of equilibrium in the human ear. If a leg is injured the lobster breaks it off and a new one grows in its place. In one instance a small leg grew where the eye belonged. The lobster is the hardest dissection to be performed by the zoology class this year.
