McHenry Flour Mills Papila of McHenry District To Receive Diplomas at Auditorium Next Thursday Htm school terms of the «wal schools of the county are drawing to a close and plans are being made for the rural eighth grade graduating ex- 4 ercises to be held as usuar at the vaj rious school centers. f The McHenry. district graduating ! exercises will be held on Thursday i evening, May 10, at the Community high school auditorium in this city. The program will commence at 8:15, with an admission charge of 10 and 25 cents. The money received from the program will go into a county library fund for the establishing of a library for he use of the rural schools.- These graduating exercises of the rural schools always draw a large crowd that has filled the large auditorium to its capacity in previous years and this year will be no exception to the rule. An added drawing card this year will be the very worthy cause for which the proceeds of the program will be used. The rural eighth grade.. students took the examination on April l^ and there will be about thirty-two graduates who will receive their diplomas at this time. In addition to these graduates there will be about twenty-one students who will graduate from the local grade school and about twenty who will graduate from the parochial school and it is expected that the majority of these graduates will enter the Community high school next fall. Mrs. Ethel Coe, the county superintendent of schools, will be present at the exercises to present the diplomas. A very interesting program will be given as follows: Recitation--"Grandma Riley"--Elener Wegener, Lily Lake. A Mother Goose brama--Prairie. Song--"Sunbonnet Sally and Overalls Jim"--Ringwood Primary Grades. Dialogue--"Kitty's Bath" -- Pauline Herdrich and Virginia Freund, Sherman Hill. Piano Solo--Winifred Benwell, Ostend.

Each one was ordered to bring a boy as his guest and nearly all responded. The boys enjoyed the evening just as much as the Kiwanians. One stunt which created much merriment was a contest between the boys, a prize going to the one who could produce the greatest number of articles from his pockets. The number ranged all the way from one to twenty-six, the prize going to "Chuck" Peterson. The boys knew nothing about the contest and a much different result would have ob tained if they had not "dressed up' before going to the dinner. George C. Pariscoe, of Scott, Kan. sas, will be the guest speaker at tonight's meeting. A Lot of Seed John A. Bolger, local manager of the McHenry Co. Farmers Co-op.
