There was one very regrettable feat
ure about the different high school enter

sickness Of Theodore UNerback, ons Of
the members Of the class Of 1909. Mr..
Unerback did some very hard effective
work during the past four years and rich-
ly earned his diploma. That he was un-
able to attend the weeks functions is sim
cerely regretted by his many admiring
fnends. We are. however. glad to state
that he is improving rapidly and will
soon be able to be out and receive con-
eralulations. He was quite sick-more-
so than one usually undersoes in an at
tack Of measles.
