The Boys' Glee club next appeared in two songs, "Kentucky Babe" and "Home Going Song," both of which revealed that our high school has within its male student body some exceptionally fine voices. They, too, were roundly applauded for their efforts. This club iB under the direction of Mr. Elmer Koerner, who >9 also a member of the orchestra, being a cornet soloist of more than ordinary note. Needless to say that he is also a member of the high vschool faculty^ The address of the evening came next with Prof. E. C. Fisher, who is now at the head of the Peoria, 111., school system, as the orator. Prof. C. H. Duker of the McHenry schools, in introducing the speaker, among other things said that he did not feel it necessary to introduce the speaker of the evening for the reason that Mr. Fisher was probably better known to the audience than he himself. Mr. Fisher, as most of DM* fWfcders can remember, was at one time superintendent of the McHenry school, and since leaving this city has steadily climbed the ladder of succesB until he has now reached a position that is , probably the biggest of the kind that can be accorded a man in this particular field of endeavor in the state of Illinois outside of the city of Chicago. Mr. Fisher went to Dundee from McHenry and while at the latter place schools from all over the state were bidding for his services. He finally chose to becorte tfie head of the school system at Rock Island, from whence he went to Peoria, but, unless our prediction is entirely wrong, he is destined to achieve even still greater success. - The writer has listened, tot* Mr. Fisher's addresses off many occasions in the past, but the message he left with his listeners last Saturday-evening was probably one of the best that he has ever rendered in our midst. Quite naturally, his subject hinged on education, during which he depicted the human side of life in a manner that sent us*all home with a great deal of good food for thought. We regret that-the Yuletide season has crowded our columns to such an extent that prohibits us from publishing his addvess in full. „ The writer has alway% admired Mr. Fisher as a man and educator, but his address of last Saturday so impressed us that our admiration for him is greater, if'that is possible, than ever before. *' ' We, like many others of this community, learned to love Mr. Fisher during his regime as school superintendent ljere and while the writer sat in that audience last Saturday evening we were certain of just one thing and that is when he speaks it comes from the very bottom of his heart and in all sincereness. He is what the world terms "a common man." His world of experience and fine education have made it possible to view life as it really exists. He knows the things that are needed to make this entire world a better place in which Jto live; he knows what is needed in our American homes to make us more happy and content; he knows and can place before his audience in a light that is certaiA to be understood the thingsthat are gradually demoralizing the "human side of life." | These and many other things embraced his splendid message to those gathered here last Saturday evening and let us hope that his visit on this occasion was not his last. We cannot get too much of this "Fisher" doctrine. Needless to say that the orator was given a long and sincere applause. "The Shoogy-Shoo" by the Girls' Glee club was the next number on the program. This number, too, was very ! well given and received. The young ladies who make up this "club formed a pleasing picture as they appeared on the stage and their contribution to the evening's pleasures evidenced the fact that their training is under a very capable conductor. Miss Helen O'Sullivan is the director of this organization and the club's number was ample proof of her qualifications along this line of work. The program was concluded by the orchestra with "Officer of the Day," to vfchich the musicians were obliged to respond to an enchore. Thus came to an end the dedication \if McHenry's new community high school and let us hope that the same spirit which prevailed on this occasion will continue to live on and on.

In judging this contest the officials had a big job on their hands. For one thing, the excellent quality of the essays submitted as well as the correct manner in which the primers were designed made the task a big one. Then again, the accuracy of the investigations ma^p by the pupils gave the job of judging a professional aspect. The judges were called upon to gradq. as close as possible. The winning ^says in the Suburban Electric league will now be forwarded to the national v headquarters, where the national judges will pass upon them for the national prizes. A fifteen thousand dollar electric home, th% first prize, and a number of college; scholarships are the secondary prizes, offered in the national contest." It is the belief of the officials judging the contest that the essays submitted will be on a par, if not above, those of any of the other leagues in the country. Contestants in the Su* burban Electric league and in thq local leagues can well expect to b$ > awarded a share in the forthcoming national prizes. Local prizes will be awarded th$ winners at some school or public exer-d cise to be held before Christmas--& fitting Christmas present in honor of the ingenuity of the authors.
