We trust that those who read this book may find therein that which is pleasing and of value. We have endeavored in this volume to make an arrangement of the contests that should be logical and coherent and to fully represent our High School. We hope that in those matters in which we have departed from precedent we have brought about an improvement. That the result as a whole is not perfect we are well aware, and whatever we have overlooked or omitted may not be due directly to lack of interest or to wrong intention. Believing, however, that our readers are as considerate of our errors as they are appreciative of our accomplishments we present to them this book of our best endeavor. STAFF, INTRODUCTORY EDITORIAL. As we take a few moments to con¬ sider Our High School” from the ret¬ rospective and prospective view points, we cannot help realizing that some of our most urgent needs have been met, in spite of the fact that many equally as urgent yet remain to be accomplish¬ ed. One thing especially worthy of con¬ sideration is our literary societies, which were organized at the beginning of the year. In spite of the fact that we have not attained the ultimate pos sibilities of the societies, we are still willing to concede the marked benefit and improvement in many ways that have been derived. Another need which has been met is the partial fitting up of the laboratory. But there are still many things lacking there, and many necessities to be sup¬ plied. Another is the remodeling of the Philomathean Hall, which has been arranged in such a way that now it is possible to enjoy our school programs with some degree of satisfaction and comfort. Last, but greatest of all can be felt the almost imperative demand for a new High School building. Only those who are most directly concerned can realize, not only the great inconven¬ ience, but the state of our non-prog¬ ress. Most any of the high schools of to-day, can proudly boast of well equipped gymnasium, in order that the physical phase of education may not be neglected. Domestic Science, and Domestic Art are likewise being given prominent places in our High School education, to-day, and to be able to carry out either of these lines of work we must have accommodations and equipment. So, in truth, our future possibilities are fully as great as our past accom¬ plishments. FRESHMEN CLASS Tresfyman Class Motto: - “Strive Ever to Improve Yours.” Colors:— Ivory and Old Gold.

Tresbmen Prophecy. I was sitting one evening in my bach¬ elor apartments in St. Louis, I say lonely because just at that particular moment my useless past, my desolate present, and the possible more desolate future seemed to be manifesting itself on this particular evening. As usual my financial condition was not all that a man of my temperament could desire, and more than that, I was then out of a job, and had no very flattering prospects to land one. Did you ever have a feeling that something was going to happen? Well, tUen, if you did, you had the same feeling I had on this peculiar evening, and when the bell rang, I opened the door and saw a messenger boy holding out a tel¬ egram to me. I was not at all startled to find that the one rich uncle, which I possessed in all the world, had died, leaving me an immense fortune, if cer¬ tain conditions were fulfilled. I then realized myself a second Brewster with a million to spend in order to gain a million more. It occurred to me how easy it was going to be to spend a mil¬ lion and to accomplish this I was going to start this very evening. I threw a few necessaries into my traveling bag, loci ' ed my doors, stated my intentions to be gone indefinitely, and betook myself to the railway sta¬ tion, without any clear idea, of what my destination would be. Isn’t it queer that at this particular time that wor4, Momence, should come to my mind? I bought a ticket to Chicago, with a thirty days stop over at Mo¬ mence. I boarded a C. E. I. train and was soon on my way. It was about Id o’clock when 1 left St. Louis, the next morning the train rolled across the Kankakee river bridge and I real¬ ized myself in Momence. My two main motives for coming to this town were first to visit the scenes of my childhood and second and most important was that it gave me an opportunity to spend money in Momence. T emerged from the train, walked down the street, ex¬ pecting to see familiar faces and famil¬ iar scenes. Instead there were paved streets, and street cars, and only six o’clock in the morning, but all business was astir. I walked to the corner of Range and Front Streets, where used to be the old Central House, where was now standing a new eighteen story building, and I saw labeled on it “Biel feldt House.” I entered and asked to see the keeper. Soon Elmer arrived and we had a long talk. He told me to go up and visit the High School. I walked up the much changed city streets and saw to my surprise, that in all the years the old school house was the same as ever. I walked up the same old steps. I went into the assem¬ bly room, and imagine my surprise to see sitting in the same old squeaky chair, Joe Fingerhut, the principal, in Mr. Robbins’ place. Well, I sat right down and we had a good old style talk. He told me to look over the room and see if I recognized any of the faces. I saw Basil Deardurff still in the Fresh¬ man class. I then went into the office and found Melby seated there. He told me to go into the classes and see if I could find any one I knew. T enter¬ ed the Algebra 1 class, whom should I see but Vivian Edwards taking that subject and more surprise came when 1 saw (Jerald Manzer teaching it. I then went into the Latin class, there I saw Edith Ward holding forth. T entered English I class, and saw Fay Ault as instructor. I also recognized Viola Dufrain as a member of the class- 1 went back to town to get a shave. I entered the barber shop, which had been owned by Harold Hanson, and found my old pal, Babe Conant, the barber. In old times he used to spend some of his spare moments, and some that were not spare, here, so when Mr. Hanson decided to retire he willed his property to him. I guess he had learn¬ ed the business fairly well. Then I sat down to think it over. Here was a chance to spend some mon¬ ey, and that was what I was looking for. First of all I handed the Presi¬ dent of the Board of Education, who by the way,, was Richard Smith, a check for fifty thousand plunks. While this spirit of generosity was upon me, 1 decided to purchase a canful of oil for the old squeaky chair in the assem¬ bly room. I had been very generous with my money while in Momence, so I decided to go to Chicago, the following morn¬ ing. I went down to Clark Street the evening after, and was walking along when two bandits seized me, took my money and hit me upon the head with a club. As I fell over I saw Glen Clark and Harding Fedde. The next time I awoke I was in a hospital with a nurse in the room. I raised my head to see her, and saw my old friend, Clara Dixon. I then fell into another relapse and could never find out anything about the remainder of the famous Freshman class, of which 1 was a faithful member. But I am sure they turned out alright.

One day, while with a company on a concert tour, I sat in a station waiting tor the train which was to take me to Paris, where we were engaged for the next evening. Desiring a magazine to read for pastime, I bought one at a near hy news stand. And, on opening it I found an editorial on “Woman Suffrage,” written by the widely known suffragette, Lucile Peterson. This set me to thinking, of my school mates, and I wondered what had become of them. Just then 1 heard a voice addressing me, and, looking up, saw my old friends, Mil¬ dred Storrs, and Margaret Nelson. They informed me that they were then on their way to China as missionaries. I asked them of my other classmates, and they told me that they had all prospered. 1 was not surprised at this as we had, indeed, been a model class. Robert Dennis was then a noted professor of astronomy. Catherine Peterson was the English instructor, and Margaret Greenawalt was grind¬ ing indiret discourse and ablative ab¬ solutes into the Latin students of the Momence High School. Aimee Bige¬ low was now a famous violinist, and was said to have excelled Kubelik. James Kirby had bought the “ Black- stone Hotel” and if he was not making a fortune, he was at least contented. Hilton Nichols and Edith McMillan had found happiness on a farm near Momence. Clay Hayden had found success as a lawyer, and with his wife, Gertrude Smith, was leading the New York “400.” Philip Sweet had be¬ come a ‘ ‘ high dyer ’ ’ and had just com¬ pleted an aeroplane, which had broken all records of altitude reached by any man. Ruth Planson was in California and was making a fortune raising or¬ anges. Pauline Nichols was a wonder¬ ful classique dancer. Mae Hunt, as I was much surprised to hear, had be¬ come a second “Dr. Mary Walker ” Lora Simonds was an old maid, and lived in Momence, and spent most of her time drinking tea, and talking to her two cats. Charles Stevens was a captain of the military college at West Point. Mattie Hayden was a. nurse, and Raymond Keeler was a college foot-ball coach. Just then my train came and I left them, feeling very hap¬ py over the success of the sophomore class. Marie Seavey, ’15. JUNIOR CLASS Junior Class Motto : — Colors:— Purple and Gold. Flower:— Pansy.

Junior Class Proph ecy. “Time rolls its ceaseless course ’ and still there are the yesterdays, the to-days and tomorrows, and it is of the morrows that I am going’ to tell you. The Fates having kindly given me prophetic power, the renowned and illustrous Junior class very naturally designated me as the one to foretell that which is to come; to unravel the future destinies of my fellow students of the class of 1914. The president of this glorious class, Florence Smith, whom you remember in the High School days with her San¬ ders’ Geometry as her most intimate companion, is now reaping the fruits of her labors, as the worthy successor of Mr. Walters, the special teacher of geometry in Momence High School. Hazel McConnell has become head waitress in the Conrad hotel. Her main object, she said, in applying for the position was to undermine the the¬ ory that distance lends enchantment. Again the unexpected has happened, or no doubt, “Ty Cobb ’ felt that way about it, when he must of necessity step into the background of the base ball world and give his place to none other than the Beecher boy Harry Weichen. Who, in days of yore would have mapped out such a course for him ? And there is Leroy Grimes, who always did believe in leaving his foot-prints on the sands of time. When we recall his numerous athletic feats, and how his mother had to dis¬ lodge part of the furniture, from his room to make room for his numerous medals, one would scarcely have con¬ cluded that Leroy would embark his launch upon the field which he has, namely as a Salvation Army leader. And the Daily Progress stated that he had been running oppositional meet¬ ings to Billy Sunday. This was a gre at surprise to Mr. Sunday. Then there was Selma. It is cer¬ tainly a fact to be regretted that the Montessori system of Education had not been adopted when Selma w T as a child, for just think of all those years spent in useless effort trying to find out her real vocation in life, which has finally proven to be selling tickets in the Bijou. Likewise, there was Bessie, studious and practical, who did not surprise her friends in the least when she took up abode at Wellsbey, and started a co¬ operative laundry, actually performing some of the work herself. They say “the unexpected always happens,” so it was in case of Viola Oleson, who is now the physical cul¬ ture and dancing teacher in one of the Exline schools. . The next one in the list, I believe, is Dorothy Nelson, whose gift of speech you remember as somewhat unusual, she, strange to say, is one of the lead¬ ing instructors in the deaf and dumb school at B-. Of Lulu there is little to say, except that quietly and peaceably she lives in Kankakee in a little vine clad cottage built for one, and with her cat and bird she is enjoying spinsterhood in all its glory. The next four names I can group together when I speak of the Crosby, Walker, Brown, and Zahl Concert Co., the scene of their first appearance is vividly before my mind. It was in the town of Hopkins Park, the lights were burning brightly and the whole world seemed to rejoice with them. There was a crowded house to greet them, alas! it would have taken mathe¬ matical knowledge, beyond that pos¬ sessed by the writer, to have “fig¬ ured” out the number. Last, but not least, is Helena, and of her I might say briefly, W hen youthful dreams her fancies told A musician, grand, she’d be, But, Ah, Alas! what came to pass, A suffragette is she. Duwana Rasmussen, ’14. Crawford— u How is it you let your wife have her own wav? Crabshaw—“I once had to stop her. —Life.

Numerous are the events which have happened in the years gone by, but the events which will be remembered for years to come, was the graduation of the class of 1913. This wonderful class has attracted such attention by their work in the world, that old friends are anxious to know of their professions at the present time. After days of labor and by searching the various “rogues’ galleries” in different parts of the world, I have at last succeeded in getting news of my class-mates. The first name on my list is Charles Tuttle. He is no longer addressed as Charles, for he is now a sea captain of great renown, and must be spoken to as befits his station in life. When last heard of captain Tuttle was afloat on a raft in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. In a wireless message received the same day, he stated his determin¬ ation to abandon the raft and to swim to the shore. No further report has been heard, but we are sure he had a delightful swim, for Charles was an excellent swimmer when he lived in Momence. Then there is Ethel Bradley, who was always rather timid, but who has at last succeeded in getting married to a prominent farmer living near Hop¬ kins Park. She and her husband are now engaged in the profitable occupa¬ tion of raising sand-burs. Ruby Tuttle has also gained fame as a singer. When she used to sing for us at our entertainments at school, we were forced to leave, quietly but quick¬ ly. But now, thanks to a good musical education, her singing is so pathetic that it would bring tears to the eyes of a wooden Indian. Amanda Johnson is in India acting as a missionary. She reports her occu¬ pation successful, but a later letter from her states she is now teaching Vergil and Physics to the poor igno¬ rant heathen of that country. No won¬ der there are so many deaths in the cities of that country! Anthony Parish became a famous politician and by using his influence he has succeeded in acquiring a position of trust and honor, as president of the pickle factory at Wichert. Leonard Gordinier our famous class poet, has continued in his line of work and promises to become a second Shakespeare. His works may be read in any of the popular almanacs. In the same rank with Peary and Cook comes the name of Nora Lynds, who is now a daring Arctic explorer. This seems to be a peculiar selection for a woman, but all her class-mates knew she always did like “Snow.” Dolly Nelson and Mabel Clapsadle have chartered Oscar Hansen and his ragtime band and gone to England to preach woman suffrage to the people of that thriving country. The ladies take turns in speaking, and Oscar fur¬ nishes the music. Dolly has not been home for some time, but Mabel returns every year to celebrate the Fourth of July at the Log Cabin Camp. The last name on my list is that of Clark Howk. Clark was first sent to Mars as an ambassador, but later re¬ signed. He is now engaged in raising chickens. He averages about twenty to twenty-five chickens in a single night. Of course the night must be quite dark to bring satisfactory results Clark has just sent to Washington to get a patent on his new method. Now, before I close, I will add a few words about myself. I am now living a life of leisure, having just received a small fortune of one dollar and forty- nine cents from a rich uncle, who died quite recently in Ireland. I have not made any great name for myself, but I am still looked up to by my friends. Thus ends the prophecy of the class of 1913. , E arl Todd. Wife (bitterly)—When you married me you didn’t marry a cook. Husband—Well, you needn’t rub it in. the Senior Class Poem As in some future years unseen I look for the members of the class of ’13, The task takes me to the end of the earth, To find where the class has spread its worth. The first one I find is Ethel Bradley, Who has surprised her friends, tho not badly, For she has settled down to the quiet life Of a bright and prosperous young farmer’s wife. At this time the world has just begun To notice Clark Howk the printer’s son. For he was sent to China as Ambassador, And has kept China and America from war. Mabel Clapsdale we must not forget, Is in England studying to be a suffragette, And ere long I’m sure will show the world, What rights the women here should hold. Earl Todd I find is a soldier now, Who was mixed up last week in a Panama row, But safe and sound he came out of the fight Like all brave soldiers, who do just right. Amanda Johnson, who always did good Whenever she had a chance and could, Has gone to India with a missionary band To help convert the heathen land. Charles Tuttle I hear has gone to sea And is now Captain of the ship “Brigadee,” Which is running between New York and Japan Carrying a cargo and what passengers it can. As I expected some years ago, Nora went to the land of snow. Her ambitions were so from the depth of her soul That I am glad to hear that she reached her goal. Ruby Tuttle, I remember cultivated her voice, And took stage singing as her choice Now she brings the audience to hearty cheers Or fills their eyes with briny tears. When I see that the poster on my right, Says “ Dodd’s Orchestra plays here tonight,” I know Oscar Hanson and his band Will play some music that will be grand. And there was Dolly, a bright young lass, Who was also a member of this illustrious class, And the world far and wide will hear of her yet For she has entered the portals of the Suffragette. Anthony Parish has become a politician, And is now seeking to gain admission Into the ranks of the United States Senate, And at the next election he surely will get it. As for the author, he dosen’t make rhyme, This piece was written for mere pastime, But he lives in peace for you see his name Has not spread over the world in fame. L. Gordinier, ’13. Zo the Seniors, When you see the grand old Seniors Gaily passing down the line, Don’t you feel the least bit envious Of their shining light divine ? Don’t you wish that you were with them? Gaily treading on the heads Of the low-down underclassmen, Striving for their sixteen “ creds.” See their chests puffed way out yonder, And their smile of triumph wide, As they gaily mount the platform Never bowing to the tide, Hear their chuckles and their laughter, Heavens don’t it make you mad ? How you’d like to jump among them, Bang their heads and make them sad. But before you pass to rashness, And commit a deadly sin, Stop, consider, think upon it, Don’t give ’way to every whim, They are going forth to battle, Thinking that they know it all; Recollect that true old saying, “Pride is greatest ’fore a fall.” While their heads are swelled to bursting, Just apply that golden rule ; If they have acquired all knowledge, Why do seniors go to school ? Why to study and to argue Causing sorrow, aches and pain, When they might be famous, glorious, Honored far and wide their name. But I’m sure I know the reason, For altho they surely beam In the light of their greater prestige, Things are not what they seem When they’re really up against it, They will lose their golden hue And not look like rosy sunset, But like early morning dew. But enough of such reflections, Cast away your vain regret. Hurry up, you freshie, And you’ll get there yet. Every one must be a senior If from high school he would pass. So don’t look with criticism On the lofty Senior Class. —J. Raymond Crowley, Womence fiigb School Census Name. Age. Appearance Noted For. Disposition Nick Name. Wants To Be. Destiny.

The Year Book Banquet was given Friday, March the seventh, by the white side as losers, to the cherry side as winners in the subscription contest. Every year when the time arrives to solicit subscribers for the Year Book, the High School divides into two fac¬ tions, each having a leader. Those of this year being Lora Simonds, leader of the cherry and Dorothy Nelson, cap¬ tain of the white. The side which suc¬ ceeds in getting fewest subscriptions pay the penalty by giving a banquet to the side obtaining the largest number of subscriptions. The banquet room was decorated in High School colors and pennants. Be¬ fore supper various games were play¬ ed under the leadership of Miss Van- den. The menu consisted of Sandwiches . Pickle Olives. Cake Ice Cream Coffee. After the banquet toasts were given by Mr. Robbins, Miss Heuman, Miss Lora Simonds, and Miss Dorothy Nel¬ son. Mr. A. Parish, Miss Florence Smith, Miss Edith McMillan, Mr. R. Conant, who represented the Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman classes, and Miss Helen Melby, who represented the Alumni. Miss Vanden acted as toastmistress and although the toasts were varied and timely. They were all received with applause. XMAS PROGRAM. The Christmas Program was held on December 20th, 1912, in the Philo hall. The hall was tastily decorated for the occasion.

The Junior Reception to the Seniors was held Friday evening, April 11, at the home of Miss Walker. This ban¬ quet is given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors and is held by the students as the social High School event of the year. Those who attended were the Junior and Senior Classes, the Faculty and High School Orchestra, The rooms were decorated with crepe paper in the Senior Class colors blue and gold, besides many beautiful bou¬ quets of Carnations and Sweet Peas. The orchestra furnished music at inter¬ vals during the evening, while charades were indulged in by all present. A two course supper was served on small tables, and large bows of the college colors were tied on the chairs designed for the Seniors. Very dainty plain cards were used with blue and gold designs on each. The menu consisted of chicken salad, hot rolls, olives, coffee, cake and ice cream. ...Literary Societies... TWENTIETH CENTURY LITERARY SOCIETY. THE ALETHENAI LITERARY SOCIETY. The moment the reader of our An¬ nual sees this to be a discussion on the merits of the 20th Century Literary Society, instantly there flashes across his memory the number of excellent programs rendered by this wonderful band of literary “lights.” We have in our ranks, poets, singers, musicians, and orators. Though we may never become Longfellow, Patti, Paderew¬ ski, or Webster, yet we are doing as they did, we put forth our best, effort in that direction. During the past, through her enterprising spirit, the management and guidance of her offi¬ cials and the energetic and ambitious zeal of her members in literary require ments, this society has grown.

From the time that this staunch vessel “The Ale-thenai,” was launched, it has sturdily plowed the main—its officers, always to the best of their ability, performing the duties required of them by the oath of office. The great mass of Alethenians have nobly stood by the name that ' honors them. Aside from literary qualities, musical talents were not lacking. In all it would be difficult to find the members of any organiza¬ tion more talented, more energetic or more patriotic, than those of the Ale- thenai Society. Officers of the Alethenai Society.

Both Societies deserve great credit for their efforts, not only in this contest, but also in the work they have done this year. Program ALETHNAI Orchestra, TWENTIETH CENTURY Livonia Walker.

Not the least important of the School activities this year, has been the Declamatory and Extempore work. Early in March the soliciting contestants for the local contest was begmn by Professor Walters, and the work had steadily gone forward until March 28, the time set for the K. K.. K. County Preliminaries. The first step, was the securing of a number of pupils who wished to enter. Interest was created and five members for Declamations and two members for Ex¬ tempore speaking, manifested their willingness to enter. The next step was the securing of trainers. In this matter the contestants were extremely fortunate in securing Miss Burtt and Mrs. D. Styles, in Declamatory and Mr. Watson for the Extempore Speaking. That their work of training the contestants was most suc¬ cessful, is shown by the splendid contest that was held in the M. E. Church, March 28. The quality of the work was so uniform that the Judges had difficulty in making selections. However, in Extempore speaking, Mr. Tuttle was awarded first, his subject being, “ Public Speaking and Statesmanship.” Second was awarded to Mr. Nichols, his subject. “Third Parties in American History.” In Declamatory Class, Miss Lucile Peterson was alloted first, her subject, “ Whitewashing the Fence.” Second won with “ The One Horse Shay ” by Miss Hardy. The local contest was considered one of the best in years. The winners of this contest will represent Momence High School in the County Oratorical Con¬ test held May 9. 1913. the Program.

To the Editor of the Sentinel: I believe the earth is flat, and it is a source of sorrow to me that the con¬ trary should be taught in schools. If the earth were round, what would prevent it from rolling down the slopes of space into some Abyss? On the other hand, we know that a flat object will rest on a slope without slipping. This seems to me to prove that the earth on which we live is flat. Persons say that the earth is shaped like an orange. This is absurd, for an orange is of totally different color. (Signed) F. H.

The first number was the Lyric Glee Club, on November 15, 1912. The club was composed of four men, talented, not only as singers, but also as musi¬ cians and readers. They gave us a very enjoyable evening. The second number was held on December 19, 1912. It was a human nature lecture, the subject being 4 4 Wheels in the Head, ” and was given by Paul F. Voelker. This lecture was very interesting as well as educational. The third number was the Maud Stevens Concert Company, composed of three members. Miss Stevens prov¬ ed very entertaining as a child imper¬ sonator, while the musical part was given by Miss Welch, violinist, and Miss Chamberlain, pianist and whist¬ ler. It was held on January 2, 1913. The fourth number was a popular lecture, entitled 44 Play Ball.” The speaker, Mr. Henry Clark proved his ability as a lecture in every way. This number was held on February 14, 1913, The fifth number held on April 1, 1913, was an entertainment by Ells¬ worth Plumstead. The nature of the entertainment was costume selections and character delineations. It paid to hear this entertainment. All these numbers were held in the M. E. Church. Physical Culture Class. This year a new class has been started in the High School for the purpose of Physical Culture This is not compul¬ sory or is it for the High School alone, but anyone interested may become a member. Two lessons are given each week and a slight fee is charged for each lesson. The class is made up of twenty girls who are taught by Miss Vanden. A space in Philo Hall is given over to this class. The purposes of these exercises is mainly to gain improvement in health and vitality. There are many reasons why each one should take exercise, and the class as a whole progresses rapidly and hope to gain very good results by the end of the school year.

This is one of the branches of our Athletics that seems to have’lacked sup¬ port; that lack of support not due lo want of interest, but to lack of material. In order to have a good Foot Ball team we must have plenty of good material to choose from. But as our membership stands, we rarely have enough boys to start a team without even a substitute. In TO we had out, to make the team, twelve men; in ’ll we had fourteen; this year, eleven, just a team. By the time eliminations are made, and those elimina¬ t ions —Injuries and “Grades,” we have a very few left to represent our High School. The above condition was the cause of our downfall in foot ball. The team this year played but one game, that game with Chicago Heights High School, the score being 45 to 0, favoring C. H H. S. The loss of the game was due to lack of players. Our boys put up a hard fight, but it was useless against such odds. The line-up was as follows: Ohas. Steeveris.... L E. Elmer Bielfeldt.L. G.

The fair ground was the place. We started out to fulfill the agreement, (to win the meet) but because of the lack of members, we closed a close third. The day was an extremely cold one, and made running a laborious task. Nevertheless, we showed our strength. Hayden took first in the fifty, first in the one hundred, and first in the two hundred twenty yard dashes. One of the greatest surprises of the meet, was the excellent showing of Fedde, who finished second in the mile run. For a time things looked as though Momence was going to win the meet, and no doubt we would have done so if we had had more spirited men. For a time the score stood a tie between Onarga and Momence. But when it came to the field events, Momence lost out, as there were no representatives except Axsel Peterson. Axsel showed what he could do by tieing for third in high jump and pole vault. The height for the pole vault was on 8 feet 10 inches, but because of the high wind it was impossible to go higher. The meet was a very spirited affair, and no doubt if the day had not been against it, some new records might have been made. Ulomence Jyigb School tiack team. L. Grimes C. Tuttle J. Fingerhut E.

Aubine Mayeau .Ada Butz Momenee won highest honors in the Thirteenth Annual Contest of the Kankakee County Oratorical Association. In the extempore speeches Charles Tuttle won first; and in declamations Miss Lucile Peterson won a close second. Mr. Tuttle gave a talk on “Public Speaking and Statesmanship,” which was rendered in coherent and easy fashion. The speech ranks high with the different scores of the judges. Miss Lucile Peterson’s selection, “Whitewashing the Fence,” by Mark Twain, was excellently handled and did herself justice. Miss Peterson held her audience throughout by her clever interpretation of the different characters represented. The prizes, besides the cups, consist of gold medals for first, and silver for second. The contest was held in the Kankakee High School Hall, which was crowded to its capacity. The music was furnished by Bruner’s Orchestra.
