People attend the theater for the «ake of a "good cry," a bit of laughter >T»fi the reassurance that the world <s still a good place to live in. While the high school auditorium is not exactly a theater, nevertheless, with its large stage, its particularly attractive setting for the presentation of the class play, "The Whole Town's Talfc- Jag," one might have thought of it mt a little theater. "Hie Whole Town's Talking," by Jfohn Emerson and Anita Loos, has IbQtli^ipBBOspltere and background. Its ncenqjgr effects and its settings were as nearly perfect as possible with an afr of luxurious comfort prevailing throughout the arrangement of the Sring room of the Simmons home in Sandusky, Ohio. The furniture used during the play was furnished through the courtesy of N. J. Justen & Son. /(here was unusually good acting, and there was a large audience which en- Joyed every moment of the evening's •entertainment. •"w Those who saw the play had no occasion to weep and they were certaincojivinced that the world continues hold many p laugh for them. v?|; Miss Stevens, Director The comedy was brilliantly played fer the seniors who received their gaining under Miss Helen Stevens, bead of the dramatic depastment of the high school. "The Whole Town's Talking" was far more refreshing than any dramatic presentation of the students for a long time. It was full M bright dialogues and amusing situ, jjjtions and its presentation was a real .achievement for the director, members H0 the cast and aii committees who listed. ^'ti To choose any one star would ue a -gather difficult task inasmuch as all ; -iook their parts splendidly. f T Lowell Nye, in the difficult role of ^Chester Binney, the junior partner, *who is such a blank that every time comes in it seems that some one "lias gone out," portrayed his part to perfection and was ably supported by flfheodore Anderson as Mr. Simmons, v m manufacturer, who desired the junlor partner to marry his daughter, Jthel, whose part was taken by 4$larice Miller, with the genuine sweetfkess of a yi>ung girl home for a visit. • Margaret Trent as Mrs. Simmons, thel's mother, played her part in a atural unaffected manner and Annie, |he maid, was very well done by Helen, eber. Melvin Whiting as the taxi river, Jack Purvey as Roger Shields, young Chicago man an<T Harold "tpatzke as Donald Swift, motion picture director, were all fine in their arts as were Carolyn Regner and Llvera Weingart as Lila Wilson and j>ally Otis, friends of EtheL Louise Lilday as Letty Lythe, the motion picture star, was equally good and irried out. her part with its required PUPILS OF ST. MARY'S PRESENT HEALTH PLAY Q mot* i*?r. Mothers Day "•ft* On to Cleveland! This is the slogan of the McHenry Community high school, as well as the city of McHenry, as plans are being completed to send the high school state Champion orchestra to the national contest at Cleveland next week. While donations to the necessary fund for expenses continue to be received it is hoped that the required amount will be raised to meet the expenses of the trip and with interest in the undertaking at high pitch it is believed that the desired goal Will be reached. Just how the trip will be made depends on the amount of money raised and the time that the orchestra members will set out on their journey has not yet been definitely decided. However, if they compete in the Class C contest they will have to be in Cleveland one week from today, Thursday, May 14, as it is on that date that they will be required to play. If the contest is one of elimination and if the local orchestra plays well enough to stay in the contest until the finals they will be required to day a secdhd tii^e in the finals. The thirty-four members of the orchestra, with their directors, W. N. Sears and Miss Minnich, have been working diligently on their required number, "Song of India," and two chosen numbers, "Mazurka" by Chopin and "Sinfonietta," which tKey will play at the contest. McHenry is proud of its state champions and is wishing for them the best of luck in the approaching contest in which winners of the nation will compete. So, again, we say "success" to the orchestra in the new fields whtfeh they seek to conquer. The personnel of the McHenry high school orchestra is as follows: First violins--Lowell Nye, Charlotte Erickson, Marguerite Johnson, Harold Vycital, Arleen Bacon, Josetta Merrick. Second violins--Christine Wegener, Helen Harrer, Frank Harrison, Curtis Newman, Rosa Popp, Agnes Mischke, Marion Krause, Helen Bauer. Piano--Juanita Keg. Clarinets--Bob Feletson, Stanley Vycital, Donald Adams. Alto clarinet--Catherine Landl. Cornets--Adele FroeUfeh,. -BiUo Chamberlin. Flute--Olive Jepson. Oboe--Lois Esh. ^ Trombone--Guy Duloar. Sousaphone--George Vales, Bass viol--Dorothy Fisher. 5 Timpani--Hazel Howard. Drums--Eugene Sayler. Cello--Mary Landl, Helen Weber. Altos--Helen Harrison, Donald Mc- Cafferty. Bassoon--Kenneth Bole?, Leonard Brown. National Child Health Day was observed in a most appropriate manner in McHenry on Friday, May 1, with a health program given at the high school auditorium during the afternoon and evening. The program opened with the salute to the flag given by the Boy Scouts and the children's charter was read by Catherine Landl and Jack Purvey, after which the high school orchestra played Mendelssohn's "Spring Song." x/ Hie program was given by the pupils of St. Mary's school who put on several short operettas and sketches with beautiful costumes and clever lighting making the entertainment a most enjoyable one. Two whistling solos by Miss Julia Schneider of Woodstock pleased the audience as did a vocal solo by Bob Peterson and a marimba solo by Lois Esh. The proceeds of the entertainment will be used in the health work of McHenry as it is required. In connection with the Health program there was also a style show given by the members of the advanced sewing class and their work, together with health posters, was exhibited in the sewing room. This work is taught by Miss Johnson and some beautiful work was on display by members of the sewing class where well made dresses gave evidence that nothing is too difficult for the girls of the sewing clas$ to make.

A. young person with a voice as fine as Bob's is unusual and he is to be congratulated upon his success and ability.

The happiness of youth and the pleasure of a ride in the warm May sunshine were changed without a minute's warning into tragedy and suffering Saturday afternoon when Eleanor Sutton, 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Sutton of Mc Henry, and Shirley Johnson, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Johnson of Evanstcn, were seriously injured when their automobile crashed into a tree near Oakhurst. The accident happened about o'clock Saturday afternoon as Miss Johnson was driving her father' Buick sedan, with Miss Sutton in the seat beside her, along the Oakhurst road leading to the dam, when she evidently lost control of the car and crashed into a tree which stood just to the left of the track and on a slight hill and curve in the roadway. The big car was completely wrecked with the front end being driven back into the body of the car. The driver was thrown partly through the opening from which the door had been torn away, while Miss Sutton was caught behind the wheel "which was bent back and down and shattered almost beyond recognition. Assistance arrived very soon and the injured girls were taken to the office of a local physician where several hours elapsed before they were able to be taken to their homes. Injuries Are Serious Miss Sutton, who is under tj|» care of a trained nurse at her home near this city, is suffering greatly with cuts and bruises over her entire body while her face and head are scarred with deep cuts and bruises and her shoulder pains her, although it is not yet known just how serious this last injury may be. Shirley Johnson received a broken ankle and a deep gash across her face and forehead in addition to other minor cuts and bruises. Dr. Johnson is in Europe and her mother and the family had come out to their cottage at Emerald Park to spend the weekend. They returned to their home at Evanston on Sunday. The boys who were occupants of the back seat escaped with only a few scratches and slight cuts. The car will no doubt be consigned to the junk pile as it appears to be a complete wreck with glass broken, doors off and the ^entire body splintered and crushed. Even the sturdy tree, which stood the crash without a quiver,'will bear a scar as the result of the accident for the bark was skined for some distance up and down the trunk. fcToday (Thursday), the members of the high school musical organisations including the band, orchestra, boys and girls' glee clubs, are in attend ance at the third annual McHenry county music festival at Crystal Lake.
