JUNIOR Speech Presenting Class Memorial [By President of Senior Class, Frank Cleary.] The index of learning which is to stand as a lasting memorial of the class of 1906, is a true model of its giv¬ ers. Shining with a lustre most radiant it is, as it were, a facsimile of the brilliance rising from its most honor¬ able bestowers. The rays from its inner, as well as from its outer appearance, are the source of much attraction, which seems to be so marked that in some cases its mag¬ netic rays attract two objects almost at the same moment. Surely there must be something very attractive about this cabinet. It is, as it were, a great book wherein is found the key by which knowledge is opened to the mind. Could a more fitting memorial than this be selected? It is yet to be surpassed. What would the library be without it? In fact, what is any book without its index? It is impos¬ sible to foretell the fate of our library, without its presence. With its coming a new start is given to the library, and as massive structures require firm foundations, this index is well fitted to fulfill its purpose. In future years, when the library has reached the point which requires a new structure for its countless volumes, its fame may be well traced back to the ever increasing importance of the index cabinet. Thus it well fulfills our class motto: “If you seek our monument, look around you.” BOOK. ITcisse Ball The Momence High School Base Ball Team was de¬ feated by the Kankakee High School Team in a ten-inning game Saturday, May 12. The game was the first of the season and it was played at Momence. It was an inter¬ esting game from start to finish. Kankakee scored two runs on errors in the first inning and another run later on. Momence only got one score during the first part of the game, but in the seventh inning Momence got three runs, making the score four to three in favor of Momence. In the ninth inning Kankakee tied the score and in the tenth inning won the game by scoring a run, making the result five to four in Kankakee’s favor. The fact that the Momence team had new uniforms did not hinder them from playing a good game. The small crowd attending the game, and the errors were partly accounted for by the strong, irritating wind, southwestward, that blew all day Saturday. The batteries were: Pottenger and Smith for Kanka¬ kee; DuFrain and Bukowski for Momence. F. D., ’07.
