Mr. Freund went to the • *•... •' meeting with a clean sl&te far bs ipauper bills are concerned, which ' ̂ * -speaks volumes for the town and its Capable representative. Tonight, as the prophet of the class of 1912, I am expected to predict a bright and happy future for each of us. But as this task is a lityle out of the ordinary for me to undertake, I hope you will all pardon any mistake which I may make. One cold winter evening a beautiful vision came to me in the form of a dream. I fancied myself standing be­ side a large wood, watching the sun as it shed its brightest rays on a clear lake not far distant. So enraptured was I with the beauty of the scene that I did not hear some one coming from the depths of the wood. How long this being might have been there I do not know, but hearing my name uttered in a clear, sweet voice I turned to see who was near me and I beheld a most beautiful wood nymph. Her soft gown was of a very fine white texture and her hair was streaming over her shoulders. In answer to my look of inquiry she replied that having recent­ ly been informed that I was a member of the senior class of the McHenry high school, 1912, she had taken this opportunity of showing me what the future of my classmates would be. She bade me follow her into the wood, where, being certain that no one would hear her, she might tell me her thoughts. I did as I was bidden and after a few moments had reached a clear spot in the wood. The nymph had preceded me some little distance and as I over­ took her I saw a beautiful picture paint­ ed in delicate colors. I looked at it several moments, wondering where I had before seen the face of the young lady pictured there. The scene was of a music auditorium in New York City, where a large audience was gathered. On the stage was the young lady above mentioned, whose sweet tones of music seemed to thrill the minds of all who heard her. Her voice was a rich, melodious contralto. I thought over all the faces I remembered seeing and as I gazed once more at one which seemed so familiar I saw that the lady was Ella Mollohan, who during her high school days was known to have a beautiful voice. After graduating from high school she had taken a course in vocal music at the Chicago musical college. Later she went abroad, where she studied with the most famous mas­ ters in Europe. Since her return to America her fame has been wide­ spread. This picture soon disappeared and in its place was another. In this one was schoolroom, in which Marguerite NEXT SUNDAY ORE TO FOX LAKE ON THE REABTirBI. NEW LAUNCH " G L A D F N E " AT 2:00 f. M.

Which will make you GLAD? :: :: I am still living in the metropolis of Terra Cotta. And now, dear classmates, having heard your futures as laid out by the maid of the forest, I wonder how many of you will see them come true in later years. If they do come to be realities I hope they will prove as happy as I have tried to make them. Years will come and go, bringing many changes, but this I hope, that a good and happy life may be the attainment of each and every one of us. Heretofore we have all been students of the McHenry high school, rejoicing in the same pleasures and grieving over the same sorrows, but tonight as we are resigning that name it is our own duty to make our future days as happy and successful as I hope our past have been. And to­ night as we are leaving our dear Mc­ Henry high school I will ask that in a few years this prophecy will be read by Ella Mollohan at some alumni re­ union and then we will see how nearly our aim in life at that future time cor­ responds to that which I have endeav­ ored to give to you tonight. In clos­ ing I hope that a happy and prosperousv future is in store for all of us. IF YOU HAVE CARPETED FLOORS AND PREFER • 4^. ̂ v-;i- v-JMi t' t \m • "C ilii %•' £ Knox was the teacher. She appeared to be teaching a grammar lesson to a class of eighth grade students, but from the expressions on the faces of the pupils I am sure that they were more interested in their teacher than in the lesson to which they were supposed to be giving their attention. It is said that Miss Marguerite proves to be a very successful teacher. In the next I saw a tall, distinguished looking man. It was Dr. Walter Knox Conway, a noted orator and lecturer He appeared to be acting the part of one of Shakespeare's characters and as I looked at the picture it reminded me of our high school days, when Walter would read a passage from Macbeth al­ most in one breath. Eleanor Phalin, in the garb of a do mestic science teacher, next came to my view. She had attended the Uni versity of Illinois a few years after graduating and was now a member of the faculty there. It has 'lately been rumored that she will teach that science in a school of one scholar, but "seeing will be believing." The fifth scene was in the main offices of the Chicago & Northwestern rail way. Here I saw Margaret Buss, now one of the most valued employes of the company. What her occupation there was I do not know, but one thing is certain, that she had risen from the position of ticket agent at the same company's office at McHenry to a place which she was very capable of holding. In the next picture was John Bolger, renowned the world over as a famous athlete. During his high school days he proved to be a star player on the basket ball and baseball teams, and after leaving school he continued to keep up his good name. He is now numbered among Comiskey's excellent baseball players and his fame has spread to all parts of the world. A happy home, in one of our northern states was next presented. The scene was a breakfast table at which a man and his wife were seated, both seem­ ingly very happy. I did not recognize the husband, but a close view showed Anna Knox to be the happy wife. It was the first morning in their new home. The last scene was of an entirely different character from the previous, one, being that of a laboratory in Har­ vard college, where a class of students were studying chemistry. I had for­ gotten that there was still another member of the class whose future I had not seen and for an instant I thought that the teacher must be our "lone" junior boy. But as I looked at it again I recognized Clinton, now known as Professor Martin. He was one of the teachers of natural sciences at the university, where he was very well liked by his students and fellow- teachers. As that pictured disappeared I looked for another in its place, butj none was shown. No doubt the wood-I nymph thought that I would not carq to see my own future as vividly pori trayed as the others had been. So I will leave that for some one else to fore­ tell, tjut one thing is certain, that the prophecy which Robert laid out for me last year has not yet been fulfilled and CLASS POEM. [By Walter Conway.1 In the days to come, dear classmates, Our hearts will often yearn For the hours in the dear old classrooms, Where we strove so hard to learn The lessons that were given us By our teachers kind and true. By work and perseverance, Ere long those lessons we knew. Those days we are leaving forever, As we're here in this hall tonight, For tomorrow we're seniors no»longer, Tomorrow we'll start to fight In this fickle world for our fortunes. Let's hope that we'll finish aright, And to know after years looking back­ ward, That our honesty's suffered no blight When the old bell will ring in Septem ber, Not a one will return to the school, Where for four years we came every morning And studied all day 'neath its rule. No longer we'll work with the juniors, They'll take our places next year, And for nine short months they'll be seniors, Then they'll leave the schoolroom so dear. But why think of the days that we're leaving, For they're gone beyond recall; Let's turn our thoughts toward future, Where I trust there's enjoyment for all. Let's think of the days that are coming, When each one will take up his work, And when he does let him never The tasks that are given him shirk. There may some of us go to college, They'll finish their high school work then; There are some of us who'll be teachers, They'll show children how to begin. There are hundreds of tasks that are waiting For competent "grads" to fill, ' But whatever task that we're given We should do that work with a will. As our high school days are over, To our teachers we wish to say, For the knowledge you have given us We'll thank you every day. You've given us learning that's price­ less; It cannot be purchased or sold. There's no royal road to knowledge, We've learned as did the kings of old. Dear schoolmates we leave you forever, But our hearts will remain just the same; You will all, when your school days are over, Very soon reach the top step of fame. And now to students and teachers, Who have taught us the golden rule, We bid farewell as seniors, And now, God bless our school. /Among the features at the airdome (s the "Pathe Weekly," a photo play portraying important events of the world.

Cross, North Crystal Lake, 111. £)ear Brother Cross--Among the many letters which I have received in the last few days none has been more welcome than your own. You may not know, tho I have tried to tell you a good many times, that I have appre­ ciated your friendship during the years as one of my first pastors and the one who gave me my first exhorters' li­ cense. I have looked to you as to a spiritual father. In your home in the last ten or fifteen years I have enjoyed your fellowship very much. 1 wish you could have been present at the consecration service, but my re­ gret is chiefly that it was your health which would not permit you to be there. Mrs. Shepard was touched by your reference to her and her sister as they appeared in their childhood days. I thank you for your interest and the assurance of your prayers and assure you that I enter upon my work with a desire to preach the gospel of which you have been such a faithful example during the years. Praymg God's bless­ ing upon you, I am, Yours truly, W. O. SHEPARD. THE PASSENGER BOAT "ALICE."
