called upon to back up a good

found. He takes great interest
in the boys and says their future
as a musical organization is very
bright. "They are a typical set
of genuine American-South
Dakota boys. They've got the
music in them and am going to
get it out of them" is his reply to

What's Doing Among the Students.



Last Thursday some one reminded
Prof. Clark that Friday was class dav.
Prof. asked the opinion of quite a few
and they all agreed that Friday mark.
ed the fight of another month, making
it class day. AS nothing had been
said and nothing prepared, he asked
the students whether class day should
be held on Friday, or to hold it of
tor another week. The students de-
sired to vote upon it. and Prof. asked
call who wanted class day upon the
morrow, stand up" A few stood up
and as he began to count, some of the
timid ones, namely Freshmen, not
daring to stick to their own wishes,
started to hop up like corks on q rush
ing stream. Result-class day was
to be celebrated on March Sth. And
what class day it was Enthusiasm
was at very low ebb, few wore their
colors, slow, drowsy yells given, and
sleepy bunch excused at 1920. The
Freshmen were allowed the privilege
of giving the first yell, and the Seniors
the second. The Juniors sang their

The Sophmores were given the last

did not give q second yell, as some
classes had on former days. At 3:2O
each class went to their rooms. The

John W. Conman in the odd Eel
lows building for the purpose Of
naming ticket for the coming
municipal election. Ii was not gen
orally known that such meeting
would be held and no published no
tice was given, as is usually the

gum-shoe affair. Several of the
faithful" were there.
Those gathered in the Office are
to be known under the name of the
Peoples Reform party. 1t could not
he definitely ascertained whether the
meeting was really a convention to

For chief-Of1police-James H.
Moore
For city clerk-Mord Lewis.
For street commissioner-Lemuel
