u R. V. H. S. Assembly Speakers SENATOR MGKINLEY Senator McKinley, who is from Danville, Ill. gave us a ten minute talk. He was making a tour through the state, and we felt quite fortunate in being able to get him to come up to the school. He told us about the wonderful schools, which are built, in order to bring up the future rulers of our country in an intelligent manner. Attention was also called to conditions in two countries. One of these is Russia, who has 140,000,000 people, while United States has 114,000,000 Russia has three times as much territory and many undeveloped resources, but she is not considered great, for the reason that only one-tenth of her people can read and write. It is ruled by only a few, in this way no schools, churches, or rights for men and women being brought out. The other country is Japan, which has from 40 to 60,000,000 people. Although it has been im- proved in the past year, it is yet a poor country from different stand points. It is true Japan was one of the big live, who met after the world war, out of 154 nations. One reason for this is because she is educated, her grade and high school system being similar to ours. She has two national universities, but the people are too poor, and for this reason we should be thankful for the opportunities we have, and the education that our people are able to obtain. We need moral support and, as the Senator concluded, although we are 3000 miles from our friends on the other side of the Atlantic, a peace treaty can be brought about. A DR. RODAWAY Tuesday morning, Feb. 3, 1926, Dr. Rodaway talked to us about his war experience, bringing out the fact how he was ordered to Ft. Sheridan while studying in Chicago, and how he served as Medical officer. He went to New York on the eleventh of May and on the nineteenth left for Liverpool, England, a journey which took thirteen days. From Liverpool he went to South Hampton and then to Alsace-Lorraine, where he stayed for training. ' Many interesting experiences were brought in throughout Dr. Rodaway's speech. DR. WYATT Dr. Wyatt spoke at the High School Monday morning and gave a talk on Getting a Ooldf, In this speech he discussed the respiratory system, showing just how different sieknesses start. One point, which seemed queer was the fact that there is no sickness known as the Flu. It has not as yet been dis- covered just what this is, but is believed to be a form of Pneumonia. After hearing Dr. Wyatt's talk we were very willing to keep fromgetting a cold. i PAGE Fonrv-oNE

ECHO REVEREND WEST Rev. West, from Mt. Morris gave us a very interesting talk, Friday morn- ing, Sept. 6, during opening exercise. He told us about the college, which is located at the center of Mt. Morris, and the printing plant, which is the largest in the world. They employ 300 people. MR. PETTIGREW Talks on the Newspaper - Mr. Pettigrew talked to us on Nov. 2, on the newspaper. He explained the different parts of a newspaper, and although perhaps, not all were under- stood, it was interesting. He also told us the work of a reporter, from the time when he gathers the notes, until the paper is delivered to the subscriber. The paper goes through several processes before it is completed, thus enabling the work of a newspaper man, never to be finished. When one copy is com- pleted, work is immediately started on the next. This speech imparted valuable information as well as being very interesting. CONGRESSMAN FUNK We felt quite fortunate in having been able to secure Congressman Funk, to come to the high school and give us a talk. He gave a very interesting talk on the Burial of the Unknown Soldier and the Sinking of the Iowa. Mr. Funk told how the body of the Unknown soldier was brought to Washington, where it was paid tribute for loyalty and bravery. He explained how at this time, there was also an unknown body, both in France and Great Britain. The body was taken to the Arlington Cemetery, where men of the navy and army, and such men as William Bryant were buried. Here it has since been visited by many people. MR. WHEELWRIGHT Trip to California Mr. Wheelwright gave a talk on his trip to California on Oct. 26th. He told many interesting things, bringing out the contrast between the diferent physical features in Illinois, and those of the western states He also told about the schools, which are much more elaborate there, than here, and brought out the idea about the different departments in the grade school. Another point he explained, was that of the crops, which greatly in- terests the Eastern tourists. In the conclusion of his speech he brought out the idea that California and the other western states look the prettiest in the winter. which i, hx ti .- to see the scenery. A REVEREND ROE Rev.
