That this class is a popular one was made evident by the crowded halls and aisles where no more standing room was available for the parents, friends, alumni members, and Other interested ones. The member* of the class, the faculty and the speaker of the evening were seated on the stage during the march played by the orchestra. The program was opened with the Salutatory by Jacob Bylsma in which he'extended a welcome to all present. The address of the evening was given Oharln M. Kennedy of Wbodsteck In Address to Local Club on "Moosehart" On Thursday evening, May 26 the McHenry Kiwanis club held a very enthusiastic dinner meeting at Heimer's restaurant. Charles M Kennedy of Woodstock, a "North Moose," was a guest of the evening and gave a. very interesting and instructive talk on "Mooseheart.". Mr. Kennedy is a pleasing speaker and handled his subject in a masterful manner. On Thursday evening of last week there was no Kiwanis meeting held in this city owing to the fact that at that time the "One Hundredth Charter Night" was celebrated at the Drake Hotel, Chicago. TTiis was a big night in the history of the Kiwanis club and the dinner and meeting at the Drake hotel in honor of the North Central Kiwanis club which is the one-hundredth club in the Division 1 North district, was attended by representatives from every organization in the district. The interesting program was opened by the presiding officers, John F. Stewart, president of Chicago Kiwanis, and J. O. Stoll, president of the new North Central Kiwanis.

A mixed quartet composed of Earl Conway, William Vales, Helen Pries, and Josephine Freund, gave a selection at the close of the address, after which the valedictory was given by Lorena Jepson. The most important moment arrived in the presentation of diplomas by Superintendent C. K. Duker who also spoke to the class words of wisdom and encouragement. And so another year has been successfully completed and closed in the annals of the McHenry high school. "When we studied we never stopped that's why the class of *27 is on top." Seniors of McHenry high school, Class of 1927, concluded their exercises on Thursday afternoon with the words of their class yell, led by Robert Conway, and let all under classmen of the ihgh school and the citizens in general know that it was Class Day and everything was Sentors, Seniors, Seniors.

This was followed by the address of welcome by John Pay, the president of the elass. The class History was given by Lucy Hughes and was a most interesting account of the life of the class during th© four years of high school. One interesting point which she revealed was the fact that the Senior class of 1927 entered the high school as Freshmen with a total of fiftysix members. At the beginning of the Sophomore year ten of this number dropped out while two new names added to the class roll making » total of forty-eight students. Then fcbey found their number decreased --to forty-one and several of these S. Beeler, as Bugler. The words of the late Kiwanian Samuel P.

Kerr, secretary, Chicago, while the response was given by E. A. Henne, North Central. The principal speaker of the evening was Nic LeGrand, Immediate Past Dist., Governor of Davenport whose subject was "Kiwanis." Songs by all present helped to lend variety to the program. The presentation of the chart, er was made by Dr. F. P. Hammond, Dist Gov., and it was accepted by J. 0. Stoll, Pres. North Central. The Past District Governors and official representatives of visiting clubs were introduced by D. S. Wentworth, Past Dist.

Jfn Definite Time Named For Begin- Work on Ne|r ' Route According to information received here last week the apparently low bids, on which contracts will be awarded later by the state, on Routes 60 and 61 are as follows: Routes 60 and 61, section 111, McHenry county 11.12 miles. $244,713; S. and H. Construction Company, Milwaukee, Wis.; section 112, McHenry county, 8.32 miles, $260,637-64. Powers Thompson Construction Company, Joliet. The above route, which extends from-0 the Wisconsin line southerly through Richmond to Ringwood, McHenry, Terra Cotta and connects with Route 19 near Crystal Lake, has been the center of attention In hard road circles in McHenry county the past year. The state highway department has &n 80 foot right of way on the above route. The plan is to lay a SO foot highway of cement for automobiles, a 10 foot gravel highway on each side of the cement for horse drawn vehicles, leaving 20 feet on each side for shoulder and drainage. With this strip of gravel on either side of the cement, MicHenry will have one of the best highways in the state and it will no doubt be one the most popular routes in the northern part of Illinois, especially for those motorists who wish to visit the lake regions of Illinois and Wisconsin.

" Routes 60 and 61 have been checked and it has been found that the traffic conditions are such that it is impossible to keep a good gravel road in condition with so much travel. Just when work will be started on the new route is not known at present. The above story is just the latest flash on what is being done on the much talked of Routes 60 and 61. t • Grenp Award Made to McHenry Girls Far Noteworthy "• '* Service' The route mentioned above will! and Roberts, represent Mves of the Johns Manville company, gave a demonstration of the prftper way to lay the abestos shingles on a small section of roof which had previously been constructed by Mr. Covalt. It was shown that these shingles may be layed over the old shingles instead of having to tear the latter off as is necessary with almost any other type of roofing. The matter of cost was also brought up and the interesting fact brought out that it costs very little more to use this modern type of roofing than the old wooden shingles. f.EGION CARNIVAL IN HARVARD, JUNK |ft, 17, IS The American Legion Post of Harvard will give their annual carnival on the streets of that city June 16 17 and 18. - * This year they will have several new concessions, a merry-go-round for the kids and ail sorts of amuse ments for everyone.

John's Parish; Silver JiASee , of the Church In manner similar to the days whid Catholic Spain celebrated its Holy days with great rejoicing inspired by religious fervor, will our little neighboring town of Johnsburg hold a three day jubilee in the near future, beginning June 24th. The occasion marks the 85th anniversary of the founding of the„&, John the Baptist parish and the silver jubilee celebration of the parish church. Eighty-five years ago, in the then thinly settled Fox River Valley region, Catholicity gained a foothold in the village of Johnsburg, when St. John's parish first came into existence. Eighty-five years ago, in 1842, Mass was offered in the presence of a few worshipers. Today, in the grand church which ranks in beauty among the highest of all the churches in this neighborhood, including the city of Chicago, each Sunday not only the members of the parish but numerous summer visitors as well attend the Holy Sacrifie^. At the present time Johnsburg has the name of being the great Catholic town of the vicinity. Its population is made up almost entirely of people of the Holy Roman faith, while tho magnificence of the church building, which can be seen from far around, draws many peop1" to the village. All visitors leave the place with the same opinion that for a country town Johnsburg may well be proud of this marvelous building. One feels its presence when one enters the village. It dominates the place and imparts a sort of quiet, peaceful tone to its surroundings. Within, one stands still in amazement The interior decorating, which foreign artists from Germany so skillfully accomplished, was finished only about a year ago, aad completes with satisfaction the beauty of the place. i That is the sort of toirn where this extraordinary jubilee is to take place. The persons who are tfo assist in the celebration are people who have been reared from childhood in the Catholic faith and who take a just pride in their church, their parish, aad their priest, the Rev. Fr. William Weber.
