and Girls Proves Grand Success
A Wealth of Pictures In It.


~ wealth of pretty and inter-
i esting pictures, splendid pre-
J sentation of the school boy aud
school girl life in Kenosha and host
of historical "reminiscences of untold
value go to make up the pages of the
High School History and Annual of
the Kenosha schools which was issued
from the presses of Wetzel Brothers in
Milwaukee today, and which will be
placed on sale in Kenosha this even
ing.
The village of Southport had the
hrst free school in the state of Wiscon-
sin, and the High School of Kenosha
has been the first in the State to
father the publication of so pretentious
book.
Months ago the boys of the High
School began work on the annual pub
lication, and the finished work as it
appeared from the press has given its
editors high place in the warm hearts
OF the boys and girls in the Kenosha
High School during the years that are
past and those that are to come.
The Annual promises to be the most
noteworthy work ever issued by any
company of Kenosha people, and the
interest in the pages of the book will
extend to all parts of the country
where the old Kenosha boys and girls
have gone to start their life work.
The book is daintily bound in cover
of red and black, the colors of the
High School. It is a book of more
than two hundred and thirty pages,
and every page is filled full Of matter
of the most interesting nature. While
it is decided work Of the Senior class
of the High School, its pages will
interest the Boys who have gone be-
fore, and the classes of the future will
find in it a pattern for other and
greater works.
The editorial staff in charge of the
issuing of the book consisted of Miss
Ruby Kirk, Roy Donley, Ray M.
Royce, Elmer Mitchell and Charles
Harbaugh. Great credit is due to all
these students, but the great burden of
the task has fallen upon Ray M. Royce,
the Manager of the publication; and
Roy Donley, the Editor in Chief. To
these two boys the schools of the City
of Kenosha owe great debt, for older
and more learned men would have
failed in the task of bringing together
such wealth of interesting material.
The work on the Annual has been
thoroughly done, and while some
things may have been admitted and
some things inserted which might
have been left out, the work as whole
is so meritorious it is impossible to
find fault with it.
The work first of all is splendid
showing of what can be done by the
Kenosha High School boys and girls.
1t teens with the life of the boy and
girl and the annual portion of the book
is rife with its pictures of events of
interest to, the students. Kenosha
artists drew the pictures for the an
nual and the work of Munson Paddock
and Roy Donley in the artistic line is
worthy of more than passing mention.
The pictures contributed by Paddock
to the book are reminder Of the c1ev-
err work of Gibson while the comic
sketches and etchings by Donley are
flied with subtle humor.
Many of the little skits of a literary
nature that have been contributed to
the annual are most clever and some
of the boys and girls who did their
first work on the annual will be heard
from in the literary world later.
The annual portion of the book is
introduced by splendid drawing by
Munson Paddock which forms the
frontispiece. Following this is a faith
full picture of the school life of year
in the Kenosna High School. All the
events of the year are shown ,forthlin
picture, story and rhyme presenting a
delightful little souvenir of the happy
days of school life. There are pictures
of the mem bers Of the senior class to-
gether with' histories of all classes.
Following this historical section Us
found the papers read by the mem bers
of the class at the class entertainment
held last night and to be read at the
Commencement proper this evening.
There are. jokes and grinds plenty and
every oneeof the students of the differ
ent classes is pictured in the caricature
of words for the fun of his fellows.
1.-THE High School Dictionary and
"What Shakespeare Said of Us" are
two take-offs which cannot but provoke
a laugh among the boys and girls.
Keeping in touch with College an
nuals in the country the editorial staff
has prepared short history Of each of
the teachers in the schools and these
are published with pictures of the in
structors making good feature of the
book. The recent charge Of the High
School students at Burlington is pic
tured in humorous poem by one of
the members of the class and splendid
pictures of the High School represent
