Who said the Junittr class was . slew? They get the prize for selling tickets for "Clarence". It maj^be be- , cause four members of the cast were Juniors. We foresee a great future for "we." We were surprised to see so many ^'coquettes" and "beaus" in Chemistry class. It was very surprising to see' the way they winked back and forth, , * but we find that ammoniuin hydroxide was the basic cause. • English III class will surely have a •few poets. They know more about poetic meter than any one else ever knew. No one has ever before had . the licenses they have. Sieze the op- . portunity, it only comes once. We were sadly disappointed when the two near champions, Overton and Stringer, lost against Reynolds and * iBarbian in the horse shoe tournament and we were no more disappointed . than they. Perhaps it was over-con* . fidence. -- A class meeting was held last Wednesday and the voters seemed a little more amiable. "Nothing But. The classmates wanted "Safety First," Truth" was unanimously accepted, altho some of our exceptionally daring "The Key to Bald Pate" or some such one. They still have their little day dreams and probably imagine . they could come onto the stage on a • prancing steed, themselves all bedecked in a big sombrero, a red bandana, riding boots, spurs and a gun. Oh Boy! Cant you just see Efpfadrsased that way? sr SEWING NOTES Some of us have almost completed • our made-over garments.

The cooking girls served sandwiches and coffee at the Farmer's Dance, Tuesday evening. The evening brought no mishap and everyone left well satisfied. We wonder why Dick is found in the cooking lab. so often. Did cer tainly would like to join ttoe class. GIRLS' ATHLETICS Koerner and Mr. Stringer coachgirls ha-*™**--" team last Tuesday and Friday Rosalind was called for by Mr. Koerner. She me, I didn't mean to." The eighth grade girls played the high school girls. You will have to ask Catherine about the score, i seemed to object about it's being ; in the paper. CQMIfERCIAL NOTES We took up "working sheets in bookkeeping. Working is the for them, all right. Talk about disgust! You should be in bookkeeping class and see the look Torchy gives Ida when she's talking and he has to keep still. Between the moaning of the saxophone and the rattle of the typewriters Lenore thinks she's in Chicago. Yes, and Torchy sits there and kids himself into thinking he's at the Polly Prim. Somebody said something in the paper last week about Miss Oates' room being filled every night until six o'clock. Why, we are in there ing to Mr. Tallmadge play the After the calling down Miss Oates gave the shorthand dasses last Thursday for talking in the typing room we didn't suppose Ida or Bernard would have the couragfe to open their mouths for a week. Well, it calmed Ida, but as^ we go to press Bernard is still at It Gee, tint fellow has courage. <>' MI/SIC The Little Symphony orchestra had its first meeting at Stenger's last week-end. We know not how they harmonized but we hear that some of the small children in the rear of the house began crying, but suddenly stopped as Mr. Tallmadge ceased playing the saxophone. The evening was enjoyed, even the hard work, for it was all rewarded when they were served a tasty lunch afterwards. They seem to believe that food and music have a spiritual bond. .They are playing famous symphonic compositions. Some of the pieces are three songs from Eliland, Cujusanimam from Stabat Mater, Bright Star of Hope by Liszt, Lisbestreum, and Kamenoi Ostrow by Rubenstien. Ernie is playing the saxophone nowadays. He made quite a hit in "Clarence." The orchestra is overworked. Last Thursday during the rehearsal they were stopped twice, to be asked to play for the Milk Producers' Association Tuesday night. Charles Ferwerda got a new cornet, and he and George Reynolds are soon to join the band . The band has a piceilo, flute, two cornets, clarinet, alto, saxophone, trombone drums and another clarinet will soon be added. Cecilia" not trying to make i giggle ? Marian and Agnes having expression on their faces? Adeline sitting at'one of the front tables? oefner giving us a scolding? GENERAL SCIENCE v.#, principal causes of rain ana snow are when the particles of water mist, and vapor gather into one drop and fall into the air below. If the Sfir into which it falls is nearly saturated, as it falls it gathers more and more Water until finally it reach^ the ground as rain. If the air into which it falls is below zero Centigrade, snow flakes will take the place of rain. Hailstones are the freezing of rain in the lower levels. These are carried upwardst by ascending air currents, dropped downward and are then carried upward again. It continues this treatment many times (thus 'lacing layers on layers of ice an snow, until finally they become too heavy, and drop down to the ground. There are three scientific rules In regard to rainfall. They are: Rainfall is less in the interior of continents than on ther coasts. The amount for each continent depends on how far rain clouds can penetrate before a mountain barrier or plateau condenses their moisture. The greatest rainfall occurs in the tropics. This is due to the great capacity of hot air for moisture, or better to the great evaporation that can occur a high temperatures. When rainfall* takes place on mountain slopes, the sides get more than the* base. This is true £pr the reason that moist air currents that/ bring the rainfall must go up a certain distance before they are chilled enough to give their greatest deposits. The amount of rainfall varies thruout the United States as in the state of Washington. They have from eighty to one hundred inches of rainfall while in Florida and on the* Gulf coast is over sixty inches. These abundant rains are brought by warm moist ocean winds which are cooled as they pass over the land. In the Plains Regions just east of the Rocky Mountains the annual rainfall per year is below 20 inches and in Nevada Desert just east of the Sierras there is less than 5 fnches. This is on account of the moisture being lost as they pass over tiw m^unains. George Stengel? inform me that if I wish to win the affection of Marie Powers I must study chemistry and memorize the periodic Chemistry Tito chemistry class is now studying about iron. Monday several of the chemistry students were exempted from chemistry class. Why? They had been lucky enough to identify correctly, the compounds of three unknown solutions by the analysis of metals, Group I and II A. We all were anxious to know why our chemistry teacher liked to ask Kelly so many questions in class. His explanation was, that she wants to get rid of him quick and so he has to ask as many questions as possible before he goes Gallie West! Botany The Botany class thought .the Oleander was starting to blossom. They said there were several white buds on it. On further examination the buds were discovered to be--plant lice! Imagine the hayoc of the class to think that they made such a mistake! Mr. Tallmadge quickly put some tobacco sulphate in a sprayer and almost all the students as ,well as the bugs, perished. Oh My how dreadful. Physics Physics class is almost abandoned since the boys had to do general work and electric wiring for the school. The discussion of electro-motive forces-has also been abandoned. John had almost^ killed off the brightest class in school, the Physics class. He put some K C N in an acid. K C N added to an acid will give an odorless, colorless, tasteless, painless, fatal gas. Too bad the windows were all open, John. Maybe you oould have seen Heaven. Physiology The Physiology class has been studying the structure of the eye. It certainly was a hard task. ( The next time Mr. Koerner wants to give us a test we will let htm make out the questions. We made them too difficult for our worn out brains. Tuesday we studied the composition of milk by the use of a microscope. As for the fun we had, leave it to aoaae at the girls. » Said the Mood to the liver: "Please give me some sugar." The the liver replied: "Here's all the sugar you want." Some new truths in Physiology: "The eye is an oi^ran by which we may hear clearly what we see." "When we enter a cold room the body temperature goes up and •*»« room temperature goes down." Can you imagine: PERSONALS Howard and Kenneth got a hair eat. After chemistry Lab. the eighth p^- iod, Kelley is very proud of saying "Look at my hands, they're so soiled. That's chemistry lab. for you. Bud had his «eat changed. Mr. Koerner thought he was talking too much with Ruth. Mr. Stringer and Dick !lost the game of horse shoes the score being 20 to 21. Lorena looks worried. James is out of the room. That is the reason. Margie, thinks that Mr. Bowman of Harvard is the best looking and most polite boy in the United States. She said, he can play basket ball better than any other boy on he team. Lorena and James said that they liked poetry. Lillian and Jessie are quite friendly. They are always seen in the hall hand in hand. Kelly and Hepry like to go joy riding and Kelly is always looking at him. I wonder why. Kelly is very interested in the book, The Accomplished Housewife, or the Art of Dishwashing And Everyday Cleaning Made Plain And Easy". We wonder if she is going into housekeeping and if so with whom. Sibre wants to know who the lucky fellow is. We are wondering who teaches brotherly love. Some of the boys and girls go up and down the halls with their arms around each other. ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN Miss Ivy La Pearl, - Em. Se Ach Ess., .... City.

I am only a sophomore and Miss Oates says that my memory is unusually poor. Y<wir advice is worse than useless, for it has angered me. Obviously you are not capable of giving council to broken hearts. Your very name shows that you are only 22 or 23 years of age, that you are a blond and that conscience is seldom, if ever, your guide. You had better have time to heal the >heart while jfou get a job «| « stenographer or filing girL \ * Yours, ' - ' , % John Fay- John Fay: . v r Well in the Arst place Mr. Fifr, I don't think you were ever in love because any one who hasn't brains enough to learn the periodic table surely hasn't brains enough to fall in love. So don't blame me for your broken heart. Blame it to your head. You admitted you were in love with Marie Powers. <Her names as I can see, indicate power and leadership so she needs a high minded and well educate husband. And if you, Mr. Fay, cannot learn the periodic table, what chance haVe you? Therefore Mr. Fay, 1 advise you to give love up and die a bachelor. > Sincerely, Ivy La Pearl. Thousands of letters have been* received by Miss La Pearl asking for advice. All letters will be duly recognized and answered. Address Miss Ivy La Pearl for Advice to the Love Lorn, McHenry County High School. "TIS SAID" • We see by Us We-Go (West Chicago Community High School Paper) that they commemorated Lincoln's birthday with an appropriate program. We did the same thing, the local American Legion post furnishing the speaker. Dancing classes are held at the West Chicago Community High School under the direction of Miss Dorothy Vingst of Elgin, Illinois. Ez Sez: "Them glee club fellers is all asinging 'Strike While the Iron Is Hot' but what we needs is some one to make it hot by striking." POETS CORN& Tis a curious fact, but past all doubt That the more of happiness one gives out The more he has left and the more his powers As the gardener strips a bed of flowers That more shall bloom so strip your soul That another's happiness be Made whole And lo! in the quick-winged second After, Tis filled witth the blooms of love and laughter. CLARENCE Did you see it? If not, why not? One of the best plays ever put on by the M. C. H. S. students. There *are to be two more just like it, so Watch for the date. Why some people will go all the way to Chicago to see "Scandals" when we have plenty of them right here in McHenry, and will pay $2.00, to see "Applesauce" when we have plays like "Clarence" right here in this vicinity is a mystery to some of the students. The Play--Characters--Etc: The curtain goes up promptly at 8:80. Silence prevail^--people sit on edge--of their seats--in order to take in the minutest details. One fair damsel forgets to remove her hat in the excitement--groans heard from the behind--a baby starts to exercise its vocal cords--muffled exclamations heard meaning--take the child out-- another hush decends upon the awaiting audience--A--suddenly, all groans, hats, and wails forgotten--350 pairs of eyes are turned to the stage, and behold we have our first character before us. She is Miss Elizabeth Vogt-- taking the part of Mr. Wheeler's secretary. We wish to take this means lof congratulating Elizabeth on her ^splendid acting. Time and space being short we shall have to rush to the other characters. We now have Mr. Wheeler, the wealthy and prominent business man, played by William Beth. We hope William succeeds in later life and can act the part as well then, as he did Thursday night. Miss , Angela Petesch--taking the part of Mrs. Wheeler, makes a splendid wife. It seems that Angela is good ia almost anything she undertakes, so consequently she came up to our expectations as usual. s Bobbie Wheeler--played by Dick Stenger, is a character not easily forgotten. Dick put heart and soul in his £art and certainly obtained wonderful results. Cant beat Dick when it comes to acting. Next we have Miss Pinny, the governess of Cora Wheeler. Lillian Buss as a governess--well--not so good, but as a naturally lovely girl for men to just completely lose their heads about --well leave it toJjjJUp wt the -afi/ld looked very lovely in a prim blue suit and an exquisitely made evening dress. At last--We have "Clarence" and what a handsome man he made and will continue to be. Ernie can play a sax and a piano, and when it wanes to performing--well jright "this way for competition. Mr. Stem, the arduous lover, (Aug- Freund) wasn't a bit bashful when it came to making love to the ladies. It seemed good to see Gus get up and speak for himself, for usually Bennie has to do it for him. Here's wishing you good lock in similar adventures Gus. Delia, the maid, (Marfe Baer) believed in kissing, but also believed in receiving damages for each kiss. Nevhe was a good maid, and that she didn't fall for the butler-- we'll leave it at that. last but not least--we have Dinwiddie-- that handsome butler, played by William Nye. William did well and spoke loud enough so everyone could hear him. "Papa" was in the audience. f Miss Miller deserves a lot of credit ^nd congratulations for putting over such a good play. We hope she feels confident that it was a'huge success, and we wish her an equal amount of! it when she putp on the other two' plays. . ' | The high school orchestra, under the; direction of Mr. Sears, furnished the' incidental music. It moved with alac-; rity. We were especially pleased with the vocal solo which followed the third act. i Laura Michels, with flute obligato and Ida Reynolds at the piano, furnished | a beautiful rendition of "The Close of1 Another Day" by OTiara. WITH THE SOPHS > Raymond Baer has a new pair of! long pants, it also will be a long tjme before he gets another pair. ! Lorena is the only girl of the sopho-! more class who has spunk enough to go out for girls athletics. Where are' the rest? j A new organisation has been founded in English II class. All the boys) have agreed to laugh when a boy says! something th&t is suppose to be fun-! ny. Clarence (not the play) enjoyed himself in English by sucking on an indelible pencil. A very pretty color was the result of his pleasure. The horse shoe tournament has attracted great interest and the tournament teams are all confident of victory but only a few began to show any of their, strength. Lucy was absent last week. Elmer claimed he had nothing to do with it. Elmer Z. has a cold. We hope he will soon get over with it It might prove contagious.' Poor . Clyde, what will he do If he ever has a tummy ache. He will suffer considerably for he has a lot of tummy to ache. PREPARING YOUR TEAMS The bell has rung. Jimmy comes tearing out of the assembly hall down to the dressing room. He rushes in and stops short, Overton is all ready half undressed. Closely pursuing Jimmy comes Joe, then Red, Mike, Jesse, etc. Everybody races into his suit Although Overton is first down by about five minutes, he is never the first dressed, Mike is. Out on the floor after we have tried to shoot baskets the first team takes the floor. Coach Stringer stands in the corner with a megaphone and bellows at us: Over to the side! into the hole! hang onto it Mike! Shoot! pass it! that's it! good work. Blah, jlah, etc., etc. All right now the second team. After passing thru the same stuff the two teams line up for scrimmage. After scrimmage we shoot free throws and then run to the showers. If a person should stand out side and listen in it would sound like a war. Overton, you tripped me on purpose. Ade: Sure. Zekej comes in and grabbing up a football shoe and lets fly at Marty. Towels began to to disappear, iMSer is splashed all ov£r, basket balls fly around, everybody wants a comb. After a nice football scrimmage the players emerge ready for Hebron, Harvard, Woodstock or anyone. , FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES Mr. Duker was our English I teacher, Tuesday, in place of Miss Miller. Miss Miller to Edwin M: "Edwin, read your letter for English,today." Edwin (as he looked through his note book): "They're all written on except that one, Miss Miller." We all thought that some of the Freshmen were reserving their seats for "Clarence" from Mr. Stringer, but come to find out he has to teach two periods of .Algebra to some of his pupils. We fear that Joe Barbian got slighted on his shoe strings or he felt very strong one morning. Some of the boys on the noon basket ball team dropped out on account of the horseshoe game. We do hope some come back to play basket ball. Why is it that Joe Barbian always sits with the girls in General Scie^ We wonder! ! Stringer for Some of the the horse shoe would have to practice up if they wanted to come u rest. Just ask Phalin and more particulars. No wonder the farms felt ing the latter part of Tue» I guess it was the cooking girls first experience in making coffee. Edwin M. is now acting as Miss M.'s handy man. It's all right Eddie The cooking girls have been serving lunch to the pupils that eat their luneh at the school house at noon. But it «s been found out that they are just experimenting on the rest of the country people, that they did not get a chance at Tuesday night Mr HENRY PLAYS PLATO CENTER Hebron is the Second Antagonist At the district tournament, which will be held in the High School gymnasium at Elgin, Plato Center will be the first team to combat with the orange and black of McHenry. If McHenry is successful and comes through victorious, two of the best teams in Class B will take the floor in the ga'me that will be most likely to decide who plays Elgin in the finals. Hebron has played and beaten McHenry twice this year, but never by a very large score and our boys are going out to beat Hebron at 4:00 P. M. Friday, March 6. Of course you are all going to Elgin to see McHenry beat Hebron. It can be done and our boys are the ones who can do it The payings for the District tournament are as follows: 9:00 A. M. Friday W. Chicago, A Woodstock, A 8:00 P. M. Thursday Dundee, A H Geneva, A 7:00 P. M. Thursday Hebron, B . \ . .Hampshire, B 9:00 P. M. Thursday McHenry, B Plato Center, B 11:00 A. M.

Oh boy! Many of the students saw "That's One On Bill" and thought it was a very good play. The Literary Digest isnt in high favor with the Seniors. Too many thousand word themes have to be written up from it. Don't forget the game with Libertyville Friday night It will be the last scheduled game of the season. The tournaments are next Several found it was pretty difficult driving down to Huntley last Saturday night We were compensated tho by the fact that we won both games.

Last Friday noon Gus Fraund and Bill Nye met rather unexpectedly up town. The result of the mating was that Gus' car was deflected from its course and a little bit bruised.
