ADDRESS BY mrs. RAYMOND
Big Crowd of People Gather at the
Coliseum for the Closing Night of the
School Year-Annual Issue of the
Spy Proves Interesting to Students.

Another year of the work of the
schools of Kenosha came to an end
on Tuesday evening and thirty-six new
members were added to the roster of
the Kenosha High School Alumni when
the annual commencement exercises of
the high school were held at the
Coliseum.
Notwithstanding the hot weather the
great auditorium was well filed with
the friends and parents of the school
children and the program was just long
enough to make it interesting without
being tiresome. 1t was a denatured
commencement such as has been Gus
tomary in Kenosha in the past few
years and none of the members of the
class appeared on the program.
The program opened with a selection
by the high school orchestra after
which the invocation was given by the
Rev. H. K. Gebhart, pastor of Grace
English Lutheran church. Two songs
were sung in charming manner by
THE girls chorus under the direction
of Miss Cameron after which Mrs.
Josephine Raymond of Chicago was in
troduced as the speaker of the even
ling. She spoke on the subject: "The
Price We Pay for Our Civilization, -
and the address, the first commence
ment address ever delivered by a WON
an in Kenosha, was most thought
i full one.
The address was followed by two
solos by Miss Cameron, after which the
| diplomas were presented by George N.
Tremper, principal of the schools. In
presenting the diplomas to the grad
yates Mr.. Tremper declared that they
would carry with them into their life
work the best wishes, not only of the
teachers and the members of the board
of education, but of the whole people
Of the city Of Kenosha
The program for the evening closed
with a song by the high school octette.

At the close of the exercises the
annual edition of "The Spy the
high school publication, was put on
sale. This year s annual is one of the
best ever issued by the high school
boys and girls It is attractively bound
in dark green burlap and bears on the
cover the first published replica of the
new official seal of the schools of Ke-
nosha. The book has one hundred and
fifty pages and it is filed with mat
ter of interest to the students and their
friends. The opening chapter of the
book is decidedly interesting his
torical account of the schools of Ke-
nosha. Then follows many photographs
OF members of the faculty, of the senior
lclass, of the officers of the other
classes. All the athletic teams of the
school are pictured and their records
for the year given and all other high
school organizations are given space in
the book
There is the usual number of hum
orous sketches by members of the
various classes of the high school. The
art work in the annual is unusually
clever. Earl Sehmitz, president of the
senior class, was the editor in chief
of the annual and Edwin Haubrich and
Kenneth White were in charge of the
business management. Local merchants
and manufacturers gave the "SpyD
splendid advertising patronage and
made possible the issuance of
volume much more pretentious than in
former years.
