Their arrest caused no small amount of excitement to the citizens of McHenry as many of them thought another robbery was in progress. These people were arrested on a charge of petty larceny for stealing tires in Lake Geneva. Two Lake Geneva citizens saw them taking the tires and immediately notified the Lake Geneva police department. An officer frqm there MATE GRAVES OF SOtDIER DEAD SMALL ATTENDANCE AT EXERCISES Col. A.

Address By Dr. Convis The address of the evening was given by Dr. L. A. Convis of Chicago and also one might say, of the world, for he has( lived in many of the countries of Europe and spent two years in work in Siberia at the time of the World war, where he met with conditions in Russia and acquired a wide knowledge of affairs of the old world. Dr. Convis is endowed with the gift of oratory and spoke fluently without notes of any kind and it was indeed a treat to hear an address such as he gave. People who were present at the auditorium were no doubt pleasantly surprised at his spicy and interesting talk, full of wit and humotv for one usually looks forward to an hour of rather dry and deep discourse, but it was not so in this case. Dr. Convis gave his listeners many a good laugh and his wit afld humor were enjoyed as eviheed by the outbursts of laughter. Dr. Convis believes that although we grow older in years we should keep the mind young and to do this we should continue to study and learn. Learn something new every five years, said Dr. Convis. He also said that one can learn just as easily at fifty-five as at fifteen if j ENTERTAINS "5WT CtTTB Mrs. Thomas Kane very pleasantly entertained the members of her "500" club at her home Saturday evening. Three tables were in play during the evening at the close of which the hosneed em One Civil War Veteran Left formation used in securing condemnation of the disputed property and would be better able to take care of the case. It was brought out that Mr. Beller not only seeks to stop repairs to the sewer system, but that he desires also to stop the city from using present disposal plant. This would entail heavy expense on the city and furthermore there seems to be no other location for the plant as downriver people will raise the same objections. The council unanimously voted to employ Atty. Langworthy to oppose the injunctions, also to file counter objections against Mr. Beller for damage to sewer main at Boone Creek crossing. Discussion of the building at the John Anderson service station and barbeque was held and as there is no sewer there and as millpond will not permit septic tanks, Mr. Anderson will be allowed to retain buildings as they now are until such time as sewer facilities can be extended to him.

The scene presented was a novel one with curtains drawn aside to disclose a woodland scene with a band of gypsies sitting in the dusk and dark of evening. As the eye became accustomed to the dim light the members of the senior class were revealed, presenting an attractive group clad in their realistic and striking gypsy attire, which set off the charm of each member of the class more than fine clothes would have done. The class motto, "Build For Character, Not For Fame," had an important part in the stage setting and if the seniors keep their motto ever before them during their lifetime as they have done during the week they are sure to make good. The class of thirty-three seniors was a large one and the stage was well filled with its group of gypsies. The program opened with the class song which was arranged by William Vales and was a very appropriate opening. The opening song was followed by the address of welcome by May Justen, president. Miss Justen served her second year as president of her class this year as she was also the presiding officer in the sophomore year. Miss Stevens has been the advisor of the senior class during the year and has assisted them in planning their programs in various ways and has been just what the name implies, advisor. The class also clid credit to her, carrying out theijr^progTam in a most efficient manner, with many ot the spicy quibs hitting the mark as the appreciative laughter of fellowstudents plainly denoted, each one enjoying the joke even though It was on .himself. The class history was given by George Bylsma and was a most inter WOMAN IS BEATEN BY DRUNKEN MAN Chicago Man Arrested After Fracas at Johnsburg Decoration Day Night--Fined $50 and Costs Earl Traver, 24 years old, who gave his address as 4054 George street, Chicago, was arrested in McHenry Decoration Day night by Officer Phil Guinto. Traver and a girl companion had engaged in a fistic encounter near Johnsburg, the girl claiming that he was speeding while intoxicated and that she had begged him to drive more carefully. Refusing to do this she had shut off the switch on the car. When she had done this he became very angry and hit her. The car was going slowly at the time, enabling her to jump through the door, cutting herself with pieces of flying glass. Fred Smith and another motorist from Johnsburg heard the screams of the girl and summoned a McHenry phyfciciaiw Her compar^iory fled antf was found shortly afterward in McHenry. Officer Guinto arrested him and turned him over to Sheriff Sanford at Woodstock, where he spent the night in jail. He was taken before Justice T. H. Brown of Woodstock and fined ?50 for driving while intoxicated, his companion refusing >to prefer other charges against him.
