Mr.. Shuart spoke of the work of Lord
Kelvin as teacher and as a searcher
for new truth in science. He spoke of
his private life and the purity of his
motives in all things and pointed to his
life as a lesson to the men and women
who would seek the best things not
only in science but in life as well.
The Glass History
After selection by the orchestra the
class history was read by Miss Caddie
Hill.
Miss Hill had reduced her history to
blank verse and gave it in splendid
manner as follows:
Glass History
This is the class Of '08. To the halls
of our High School we came
In the year nineteen hundred and four
Came we with paleness and fear stamp
ed on our features.
But with hope in our hearts and with
courage
Courage to strive for the best, and with
strength to attain it.
Came with our class Fonk, Cooper and
Shuart,
Who steady and true all the four years
of our course,
Have helped to keep up the standard
and bear with all honor
The trials and crosses of students.
Came with our class, some whose tai
ents have won them distinction.
AS Sophomore was Ralph Curtis chos-
en- for the Senior class play.
Most happy did that choice prove Twas
a triumph then,
And bespoke success for the future.
In the joint debate of 'O7, Laura
Blood, nobly aided by Maddox
| Even in defeat, called forth the ap-
plause of those gathered to listen
Then, there is our humorist, Iverson,
whose jokes might well pass into
proverbs:
And who has not heard Of our songstress
| Harriet Lewis?
Last, but not least, Of those who have
| thus won distinction,
Comes Laura Magill-beautiful-
| ed
| Who charms and delights men s hearts
by the music Of words
Or Interpretation Of feelings and pas
slons OF men as recorded in writings.
In other fields has our class been equally
famous.
Long has Christina Van Lier been lead
er in girls athletics:
In basket ball has she been especially
famous;
AS freshman she played with the
champion team of Southern Wisconsin
Among the boys also, our class boasts
the best Of the athletes;
Sidney Maddox is chief of them All
and few surpass Leslie Lease and
Ralph Curtis
Long will their many foes remember
the deeds of their prowess.
With class such as ours, how could
events be lacking?
Even in our first year we were bid to the
Sophomore s banquet
Much did we think ourselves honored
as we danced with them and Toasted
Learning from them the manner of en-
tertainment on such occasions.
And the next year we greeted the fresh
men with feast.
Ever since recorded as the best and most
joyous Of many.
Not only to these was our courtesy Civ
en-. We would honor the Seniors

and iberty-A man among Men-A
Christian Gentleman.
The paper by Miss Blood awakened
great enthusiasm among the members
of the audience and it was plain to see
that the sentiments expressed struck
responsive chord.
Early Kenosha School Days
Miss Harriet Lewis was the next
member of the class on the program and
she spoke on the subject ''The History
of the Kenosha High Scnool.' Miss
Lewis is pleasing speaker and she
gave very interesting report Of the
old school days. The story was told
in conversation between two members
of the class of 1861 and in their con-
versation they recalled the stirring
days when the Kenosha High School
was founded, the special act of the
legislature making it possible for Ke-
nosha to have the first free school west
of New England. It told of how the
committees from Racine anu Chicago
came to, Kenosha to visit the old school
"Chicago may have forgotten, said
the speaker, "but we haven IT,
'"The glory Of the charter class, -
said the speaker, fades away in com
parison with the Heroic Age of the
High School, when hundred and fifty
boys left for the war. That at least
won t be forgotten. How they used
to drill under Joseph Quarles. They
showed that they meant business when
Lincoln IS first call for volunteers came.
Today [ can see the departure of the
boys as clearly as ever, the dinner given
to- the First Wisconsin Infantry in the
park, where the soldiers monument
stands now, and how all went to the
train to see them off. That was the
last time we ever saw some Of them.
Then a little later the First Wisconsin
| Cavalry or |The School Ma ms Com
pany' as it was called, departed. The
school may we'll consider it an honor
that so many of the school boys went
to war that no class graduated in 1864.
1t certainly would have been an unex-
celled class if this had graduated.''
Miss Lewis then spoke Of other in
teresting history of the different classes
IN the school since it's organization in
l849 paying tribute to the old teachers
land the new. The quaint style in which
the Grafton was prepared and the splen-
did way in which it was delivered made
it one of the best numbers on the com.
mencement program.
Lord Kelvin
A discussion Of the life of Lord Kel.
vim by Eugene Shuart developed very
interesting study of the progress OF
science. Mr.. Shuart referred to the
early discoveries of the scientific world
to the discoveries of Franklin, Ampere
and Faraday, and then told in simple
language the story of the life of the
English scientist and his contributions
to the scientific world He told of the
birth of Lord Kelvin as William Thomp
son in 1924, of his education and his
long services as a professor in the great
universities of England which won fol
him his title from the hands Of Queer
Victoria as reward for the great ser
vices he had rendered the nation and the
scientific world. He told the story Of
the aid that Lord Kelvin had rendered
Cyrus Field in the laying of the Allan
: tic Gable and declared that without hi.
aid the cable would probably have
} never been a success.

Prophecy Of 1908

After the Glass History, Miss Laura
Magill read the class prophecy as fol-
lows:
The day is cold and dreary. The
wind as it whistles around the corners
reminds one Of banshee, moaning. 1t
is too disagreeable to go out so I CON
tent myself with my books and papers
in the old living rooms.J AS, I ponder
over my text books, thoughts come to
me Of the time so near at hama when
my classmates and [ shall be separated
and OF the parts we shall play in real
life. Turning the leaves Of fancy,
scenes such as these come to mind.
"Twenty years from now, as the
stranger passes along one Of the narrow
side streets of New York City, he takes
note of a high, dark forsaken looking
building, which bears the sign of Curtis
and Cooper Laboratory Of Science and
Natural Philosophy. Should he enter,
he would encounter a scene like this
tall slender and rather stopped gen
tleman bending over magnifying glass
and at table just across the room, a
gentleman of lesser height engaged in
dissecting one of those four-pawed
songsters who entertain us during the
small hours of the night. There is
something familiar about this as Ralph
Curtis always liked to work out a
knotty problem in physics and as for
Ralph Cooper, he would much rather

And so we arranged the promenade of
the Juniors; our glorious prom
That event of renown to which every
heart looks forward with joy and with
pleasure.
Great were our labors to make this a
joy and a triumph,
No pains did we spare. Bravely decked
we the great auditorium
And festooned it all with blue, dark
and light
And greeted our guests with joy and
with spIendor
And lightness and brightness and cheer
reigned Ger the festive occasion.
That event of events in Importance and
interest
Is ever the announcement Of honors-
that announcement which tells us
Which ones of our members have pluck
and ambition
Which ones have labored most faith
fully; which ones have mastered their
problems.
We hail May Bell Whitaker first and
then cheer Clara Hergert
They have our true admiration; we re-
joice in success which was due them.
Our joys and our pleasures have not
been unmixed with sorrows.
Death has claimed two of our class
mates-claimed two patient sufferers
Mayme Reith and Charles Lilley, still
do we grieve for them
And mingle our sorrow with that Of all
who have loved them.
Yet one thought consoles us; death
came to them as friend,
Bringing balm for the ills there was no
other way of relieving
Thus we have finished our course. We
are now for the last time together
Our individual paths shall divide and
lead us affair from each other
Never again shall we meet, to pass to
the classroom,
Never again shall we meet, for work or
for pleasure,
Sadly we turn away, and bid farewell
to our high school.

Pope N UNIQUE SERVICE
tte Hears Mass i'm Greek at
at the Vatican.
AN UNUSUAL SCENE


The Service in honor of st. John
Chrysostom held in the hall Of the
Qualifications at the Vatican on Feb
ruary IL was unusual in many ways.
Never before did any Pope take part
in a religious ceremony in which the
Greek instead of the Latin liturgy
was followed; nor has any Pope
attended a similar function since
the time of the union between the
Latin and Eastern churches after
the Council of Florence in 1898.
1t was the first time in the history
of the papacy that capalla papa e.
as the function held in one of the
chapels or churches of Rome In the
presence OF the Pope is generally
called. was altered in ceremonial,
decoration and liturgy to suit the re-
ouirements of the Greek rite. and the
first time that the Pope used Greek
instead of Latin.
A special altar was erected at one
end of the hall with three icons in
front of 1t arranged in such way
as to form the three entrances. or
doors. through which the cclebrants
and servers pass during the mass.
