friends once more.
ssHome Again" the members of the
Kenosha High School Associa ton four
hundred strong gathered at the Cen
trail school building this afternoon for
the sixth biennial reunion. The re-
union is the most en- jOyable held since
the formation Of the Association and
many of the d boys and girls who
have not been in Kenosha for twenty
years were here today to join hands
and recall the memories of the past.
The first meeting of the reunion was
held in the lower rooms at the High
school at one O'Clock and more than
200 former students were there. Forty
of this number came up from Chicago
under the care and direction of Presi-
dent James r. Petit. Among the
Chicago guests were many distinguish
ed people who have made high name
for themselves since they left the class
ic walls of old Southport's first high
school building.
1t was hard TO break up this happy
reunion of the friendships of the past
but when half past one arrived Presi-
dent Petit called the assemblage to
order and an adjournment was taken
to the Auditorium of the school where
the exercises of the day began. The
President was in charge and Phillip
Starkweather of Evanston with the
old Golden Wreath which he had
used in the ffties presided at the
organ and led in the singing of the
favorite song Home Again"
After the song President Petit, in
his inimitab1e manner, delivered the
annual address of the executive
Officer In his short talk President
Petit reviewed many of the happy
events which had made Southport and
her first High school famous and his
incidents of early days told IN droll
manner called forth great applause
from the former scholars. ''Aint that
true Joe?'' was his favorite way of
clinching his stories of the other days
and the "Joe' referred to as the final
Judge of the accuracy of the story was
United States Senator J. V. Quar1es.
After the Presidents speech Mrs. |
George v. Redeker read the annual re-
port of the secretary and treasury
showing that the association is in
splendid condition The election of
officers followed.
One of the events of the afternoon
was the reading of paper by Mrs. F.
A. B. Dunning, of Chicago, on the
subject, "The Universal Art, the Uni
versa1 Law of Success
After the paper was over Senator
Joseph " Ouar1es appeared on the
platform and in a short speech pre-
scented to the schools of the city the
portrait of Col. John g. McMynn
given to the schools by the widow and
daughter of the well known pioneer
teacher. In a few words Senator
Ouar1es recalled the services of Col.
McMynn in the schools of Kenosha
and his short review brought tears to
the eyes of many who had been in the
schools under Col. McMynn. The pof-
trait was accepted by Norman L.
Baker, superintendent of schools.
Following the presentation of the
portraits obituary notices were read of
several of the members of the associa-
ton who had passed to the great be-
You'd since the last meeting of the as
ISOLATION.
