GOOD time
The Presbyterian Sunday School
Picnic Proved q Hummer and
Was Enjoyed by All

The picnic given by the Presbyterian
Sunday school down near the Missouri
river on Wednesday was a success in every
way. The weather could not have been
improved on. and the grounds were most
favorable for such an event, as there were
trees in abundance Tor swings and for
shade, and open space for a ball ground
and for races. IL was after 10 O'Clock
when the company left town. and prepare
tons for dinner began as soon As the
grounds were reached. Ii is unnecessary
to say that all we're ready for the good
things set forth by the ladies. and that
nothing in the line OF eatables Was sighted
A short time after the refresbment hour
the ball game was called. with Mrs. A. l..
Danielson acting as imp" The contest
was between the Culbertson High School
nine and an aggregation known as the
Spark Plugs" and resulted in score Of
o to 3 in favor Of the Spark Plugs" The
game closed with the seventh inning in
order to give time for the races.
Ii is fortunate for the city Of Culbertson
that none of the scouts from the Major
Leagues were present to witness some of
the stunts and marvellous feats pulled of
during the game. or few Of our little boys
might have been induced to leave their
happy homes for pleasant and highly re.
munerative berths with the top-notchers.
Immediately after the ball game the
races of the day were run. Edgar Bowers
was winner Of the boys race. and May
Williams Of the girls race. Miss Marjoris
Miller took FIRST in the young ladies' race.
and Russell Johnson in the Young mems
race. Mrs. Young won in the married
~omen's race. and Joe Mulligan was the
FIRST man in the egg race. II was getting
late by this time. SO the married mem.
race. the sack race. and the tug-ot-waI
we're omitted. and the crowd departed fsI
home leaving a day Of pleasure and few
odd scraps Of paper behind them. And
then il rained.

THE CLASS POEM

See the students with the books!
Science books.
What world of knowledge from their
faces looks!
How they study. study, study,
In the small hours of the night,
While the stars sink out of sight,
Dimmed by the electric light
Then the student goes to bed,
Stealing sleep, sleep, sleep,
Till the 'larm clock bids him seek
Out the undiscovered secrets of the un-
relenting books!
OF the books, books, books books,
Books, books, books!
The undiscovered secrets of the books.
Ed is grave! Ed is earnest!
And he would not crack a smile!
Low department much he spurnest
Since it is not worth his while
Not enjoyment, or not gladness
Is his highest thought or aim,
And he does no act of badness,
So department stays the same
There is a young lady called Anna,
Who goes as very good scanner;
She calls out the words
Like songs of the birds!
And reads in a marvellous manner!
The school bell rings the end of one
more day,
The frantic boys run quickly out of
sight,
But Leon homeward plods his weary
way
Ere turns the world to darkness and
to night.
Now soon the hast'ning clock shall
strike the hour,
And weary shall he climb into his bed
(Although the Latin needs his torpid
power)
And soon shall sleep as quiet as the
dead.
Paul sat in his room at midnight,
And he sat there past that hour;
Till the sun rose over the tree tops.
He worked with all his power.
But his work was all for nothing,
Since he could not learn the rule
For the volume of solid,
To recite next day at school
Oh, work it is helpful thing,
'Tis found from day to day;
And Jessie got her share or more,
The time she came two years ago,
To join our class so gay.
She's worked thro' many gloomy days,
And has always done her best.

CLASS OF NINETEEN ELEVEN
Annual Commencement Exercises of the Ocala High
School at Temple Theatre ON Friday
Evening--Splendid Speeches.
Large Attendance

Mr.. Edward Henderson was the
subject "Osceola" He paid a glowing
tribute to this Indian chieftain, whose
name has become famous the world
over. He began with the discovery
of America. which was the first
known of the red men. None knew
from whence they came, nor why nor
how, but they had probably been here
for centuries, and had made no mate
rial progress, but lived a simple and
care-free life, being monarch of all
they surveyed until the advent of the
white man. When Columbus discov
cred America little did they realize
that their peace and contentment was
at an end. AS civilization spread
westward the In1-~As were gradual
ly forced back, and finally to govern
ment reservations. He then spoke of
the Seminole war in this state and
of the rise of Osceola, then practical
ly unknown. He never shirked du-
ty, and on the one hand was kind and
brave, and on the other could be cru
ell and deceitful to the white man. FL
nally, realizing that peace must be
secured for his people, he sought
peace at the hands of the white man,
and was thrown into prison by those
who should have befriended him. 1t
was impossible for him to live long
under such conditions, so in this man.
ner the great Osceola soon passed to
the happy hunting grounds.
Mr. Henderson is quite an orator,
has a we'll modulated voice, articu-
lates splendidly and on his gradua-
ton night his friends had every right
to be proud of him.
Mr.. Herbert Martin had the class
history, Miss Jessie Wilson the class
will and Miss Anna Mcdowell the
class prophecy All were exceedingly
clever and unique. and provoked a
great deal of mirth and amusement
among the entire audience, as we'll
as the pupils.
The hits directed at the pupils and
at the teachers were funny and so
interesting were they that we are
glad to be able to print them in full.
They were we'll read and very clev
erly conceived.
The class poem was done by Mr..
Laurie Izlar, and demonstrated that
the class of 1911 will never lack for
poetic effusions, and probably his
name will go down the ages linked
with that of Poe and other southern
poets. His poem was to the meter of
Poe's Bells and was as follows:
