Affairs at the Community High school are progressing rapidly, as usual, with many additional features to keep students interested in the schedule of events. 0n Marc*L21 there will be a county swimming Meet held at Harvard in vfhich several of the local students are planning to compete. Whil£ there is no swimming pool at the high school, yet there are some first class swimmers who will, no doubt, hold their own in the nearby contest. The boys are planning to go either to Harvard or to the swimming pool at the Y. M. C. A. at Elgin some night this week for practice. Here's wishing them Success In the meet on the twenty-first. The Juniors are feeling an extra amount of pride this week, the reason for this being that the Junior basketball team won the interclass basketball tournament played at the local gym Tuesday and so are proclaimed the champions of the high school. And that's not all for on Wednesday after school the Juniors added another feather to their caps when they defended their title and defeated the faculty by a large score in what was probably the last basketball game of the season. Two events which the music pupils are looking forward to-with a great deal of anticipation are the music festival to be held at ttarfcngo on May 2 and the band contest, urhich will be held at Napervllie sometime in April. The band which is now composed of about forty-two members, is working especially hard in preparation for the contest at Napervllle and under the able direction of W. N. Sears they hope to win recognition in this contest of bands, which will compete from all over this district. Miss Minnich, Assistant music teacher at the local high school, has been chosen director of the orchestras, at the music festival to be given at Marengo on May 2. This is not a contest, but a combination of all of the musical bodies of the schools in the county in which the bands, orchestras, glee clubs, etc., combine in giving th^ir selections In one grand program. The various musical organizations of the McHenry high school will assist in the program of the festival. One necessity which looms on the horizon of the bright skies at the high school and which is probably not welcomed with a great amount of glee, is the third quarter exams which will be gotten out of the way on Thursday and Friday, and after which the students wiii qraw a sigh of relief and start out again on the last lap of the year. A new radio has been installed at the grade school and is being, used by the pupils of the higher grades in receiving some worthwhile school programs over WMAQ, such as bird studies and other instructi6ns.
