The We Go of West Chicago * '•lijttle^song entitled "We ain't gonna tfcimp no more." The staff wishes tjiat the people of McHenry could Sing it. Here is the song substituting McHenry for West Chicago; McHenry has a nice new paving. Smooth' as a ball room floor, And folks will cease their raving', For we ain't gonna bump no more. Chorus Oh, we ain't gonna bump no more, no morp, We ain't gonna bump no more, How in heck can we break our neck If we ain't gonna bump no more? HpW ARE YOU BETTING ON THE HEBRON GAME? Have you heard the above remark as yet? J have not and am hoping ftiat with a serious meaning it will not ,ibe made. I have just been talking %ith a hi^h school boy and he informs 0|e that to his knowledge there has -been no betting on high school games. I hope this is entirely true and will continue to be true. When a school produces a good bas- /fcet ball team, one which is either winfling their games or losing them by a 'jjtnall margin, betting by the basket 'fell fans usually occurs. Our State ^.thletic association takes a very trong stand against this as someing very injurious to the type of high school sportsmanship which we are trying to produce. I am taking this opportunity of thanking the fans for their non-betting attitude in the past and ask that this attitude be fostered in the future. C. H. DUKER. \ OUR NAME ^What's in a name?" is an oft repeated remark, but " 'What's in your namef \ Asked some folks in a fuss. We reply, 'We don't know, It's too deep for us.' " "Em Se Ach Ess," what a jumble of words. Of course you know it's our Attempt to convey "M. C. H. S." to j^ou in a more artistic fashion. But you have no key to the pronunciation you may infer that it is the Hebrew or Japanese translation of our Intended title. Well, we fplks got together and decided to change our name. Then a . staff member immediately bursts out with the suggestion of Buzzer, Crash J|ang, Hot Tomales and the .like. $ut beauty is only skin deep and if leaders think the rest of the paper is like its title, they're likely not to read farther. We don't want the readers leave us because our paper has jbme very high-class reading material :;Hii it. All we need now is some good suggestions as to a label for it. A.

The smiling face of Anthony Schneider is back with us again. We hope he will not be taken away from us again. Mr. Wentworth has shown the Boy Scouts a few very interesting games since he has been with us and we all hope that he will become a member of our troop committee in April. The Boy Scouts will, if possible, take a trip to the Cary ski jump next Sunday. They have intended to take a bob. We hope that all the boys will turn out on that day and enjoy themselves. All the boys who did not attend the last meeting are hereby notified that they will have to pass their second class test within two weeks if they wish to enjoy the sport of basket ball after meeings. This is a secret so don't tell any body. .One of the Camp Fire girls and one of the Boy Scouts were signaling to each other on the pond Sunday. Who knows what they were saying because they were using the international morse code. The McHenry Boy Scouts grot to-* gether on Monday afternoon and evening and cleared the snow from the ice on the mill pond for the benefit of all the skaters in McHenry. The boys consider it a good turn and hope the people will make good use of their skates. ADDITIONAL EXCHANGB Harold Hapke and Ted Morey of Wauconda left that village one day recently via motor for Miami, Florida, where they are planning on spending several months. They will stop at Washington, D. C., and other eastern cities on their way to the sunny south. .Miss Hattie Dake, McHenry county superintendent of schools, is again passing thru a seyere illness, but expects to be able to leave some time this month for a stay in Florida. As the result of recent action of the Walworth, Wis., city council, the members of the local fire department are to be paid hereafter at the rate of $1.00 for the first hour and 60 cents for each succeeding hour while on fire calls. A maximum fee of $3.00 is to be paid to each member participating in extinguishing a fire. It is also stipulated that the firemen must assist in returning the fire apparatus to the engine house and answer roll call when ti»e work is tflnished following each fire outbreak. -V4 '•/ Insure--in sure--insurance With Wm.

Auctioneering; ,;J HUDSONS AND FORDS LEADERS TWO BOWLING LEAGUES STILL HOLD INTEREST Considerable interest in «tfH manifested in the two bowling leagues which are going thru their season's schedules at Smithy's alleys. The Hudsons are this week leading the Regular league, while a like honor is being carried by the Fords in the Business Men's league. The standing of the teams as given below takes in all but three games as bowled by the Central Markets and the Artificial Stones. The meat men took two out of three of. this series, but do not count in the standing owing to the fact that the losers had registered a protest on the grounds that the winning team used a man not a member of the quintet. The games will probably be rolled over. The games as rolled during the part week are published below: , * Sasiness Men's League ^ J a n u a r y 6 For9s * 1st 2nd 3rd Total E. Buss ..136 112 W4 422 J.
