ywwi SEVEN CHANCES" PLEJSfSJUDIENCE J^KIOE CLASS PITTS ON ^INTERESTING P&A* - . Assisted By High School Orchestra >: aad Melody Matter* • Quartet «•••. A J"**®*5 house greeted the presen- ^ tation of the Junior class play, "Seven Y,, Chances," at the OMfcmunity high tt- V/j' school auditorium Thi^aday evening, Jan, 24. Despite the fact t5$it the evening was a stormy one and tihkt W*lks were slippery and the highway# estceeding- !y 'VkidcQr/' yet the large cast drew out a big attendance of relatives, friends and the interested public in general, who gathered early for the expected treat. The sale of tickets was a record-breaking one. The majority of the tickets were sold a week v.-jjfr. advance of the play and the underfjT? wW class students worked hard to sell .' their quota so that they might claim their reward offered by the Juniors which was a bid to the Junior Prom &c for each student selling ten tickets for the play. Orchestra and Quartet The program was opened with bhisic by the High School orchestra, under the direction of Prof. W. N. Sears and several selections, were beautifully rendered by them in their usu&l delightfully pleasing and professional . manner. The Melody Masters quartet, under ; the direction of Miss Lillian Kortendiek, rendered several very pleasing songs between the second and third acts and responded to an encore as the four young men who are members of the quartet are real favorites in Mc- Henry and their selections are fclways much enjoyed by all who hear them. Glen Draper announced the thanks for the Junior class for the fine attendance and presented the director of the play, Miss Helen C. Stevens, „ with a gift from tho east in appreciation of her work in making the play a success. The student producing staff consist- Ad of John Thorsell as business manager, Berniece Ferwerda and Orvan Granger as stage managers, and Gwendofyn/Overton as head usher. The audience was a very receptive and appreciative one, judging from the applause which denoted the approval of the large assembly And the ripples of laughter occasioned by the ^ witticisms of the actors. The play was somewhat unusual in the respect that the leading roles were taken by the young men of the class and the girls were given minor parts, which is not usually the case in most of the plays given here. Nevertheless, . the girls were right there when it came to enacting their parts, which they all did very gracefully and creditably and their beautiful gowns added much to the color and attractiveness of the scenes which would not liave been complete without the interesting fairer sex who, After all, were the center of the main part of the play. Parts Well 1>ken Each one of the characters in the play filled their roie in a very able manner and cannot be overpraised for their excellent stage work showed ability and faithful effort.

The tables were beautifully decorated in tinsel and silver with two large wedding cakes as attractive centerpieces. The home was prettily decorated in colors appropriate to the occasion with festoons of silver paper, wedding bells and silver leaves carrying out the spirit of the day. During the afternoon cards were enjoyed with prizes being won by Mrs. Ackerson, Mrs. Brick and Miss Alice Freund. During the evening music and dancing were enjoyed and the day drew to a close with the guests extending their congratulations aad best wishes to the happy couples.

The visitors, with tWoQrayslake and one Fox l*fes jplayer in the lineup were «o. match aft all for the M. A. A. C.s and the game proved to be a walkaway from the first few < minutes of play. The score mounted so rapidly that at the half the score stood 30-4 with Foulds scoring but one field goal, a thriller from the center of the floor by Pester. At the close of the second half the Visitors showed signs of a little life by scoring three field goals in the first two minutes. It proved to be only a fl»sh in the pan, however, and the home boys soon began again the methodical task of enlarging the score. The crowd began to plead for fifty points before the third quarter ended and when that was reached they wanted sixty. If time tuu) been longer there is no tel'ing just what the score might have been. With the score indicating the offensive power of the McHenry five, a few words might be added to the effect that only one short shot was recorded by Grayslake, a real tribute to the guards that provide the defense.. It w i l l be remembered t h a t at Wood-i stock only one field goal was registered against McHenry in the first three COUNTY TAX EATS INCREASED THIS YEA* 1H»1 Valuation Placed At $52£92,74S, An Increase of $444,5* Ov# -» - Lsat Year Stat® tax figures arrived in the office of County Clerk Guy E.

The state rate of 30 cents for 1S28 is the same as in 1927. Tho county tax levy for 1928 was $180,000 against $15R,000 in 1927. This is an increase of $25,000.
