| the wagon. Ferdinand Hall, on a
| bicycle draped In the same color
scheme, acted as personal escort to
the ushers part of the line of march.
Another float Of Importance was
the one used by the First Year Class
of the First Baptist church. Petite
Lucy Bernard, seated upon a throne
trimmed with the predominatlng
colors, yellow and white, formed the
first part of this procession. me
throne was erected upon a small
wagon drawn by William Sieber and
Cornelius Sylvester. About the
wagon fourteen young girls, all
dressed in white, formed an escort.
Streamers fastened to the center OF
the wagon and held by the escorts,
formed an arch over the head OF the
lady" in the wagon. Rowland
Main and Frederick Walker acted as
standard bearers for this lass.
Miss Elsie Klein led the little
band of Willing Workers. The col
ors used here were gold and white
and in contrast with the white
dresses of the marchers afforded a
pleasant spectacle. Members OF
the Dorcas Glass connected with the
same church, attracted much atten-
ton with their gold kerchlefs n
head gear to match. William BaW-
den was embIem-bearer and the fol-
lowing young ladies marched be-
hind their colors: Hattie Emmons,
Mary Dickson, Elsie Bernard, Olive

cal Sunday school parades, was pre-
sented with a large boquet of roses
by the members of the Dorcas class
over which he presided for the past
several years. Mr.. Bacon thanked
the members graciously and aid
that he hoped that as the years ad-
vaRced that popular sentiment
would make the annual parade lar
ger and brighter than those of the
past several years.

marchers of the st. Stephens Dan
ish Lutheran church were placed.
With Oscar Jensen as marshall and
Anna Thompson and Emma over
gard as escorts the large lint or
representatives from this Sunday
school followed the standard bear
er, Earring Dorf. The effect of the
chain of daisies was pretty and those
in line were kept in position by
holding onto the sides of the inter
locked flowers. American flags and
those of Denmark were also dis
played in this line of march.
Another feature of the same Sun
day school was a wagon draped with
American flags and bunting contain
ing Carl Christensen and drawn by
his brother and sister, Anna Chris
tiansen and Peter Christensen. The
second section of this school was led
by Olef Olson. Several small floats
trimmed with roses added beauty
to the line Of march.
First Presbyterian Church.
Too much praise and glory cannot
be given the marchers of the First
Presbyterian church. City Clerk

of the parade. Howard Lyon

a large American flag. Following
the standard bearer came the small

predominating colors. The teach
ers of the school dressed in white,
shading themselves from the rays
of the burning sun with Japanese
umbrellas.
Two large floats used by the
Presbyterian farchers attracted
universal attention along the line of
march. 1.-THE Old Lady" who lived
in a shoe, was well i~mpersonated by
one Of the classes. Ten small boys
and girls CARRIED suitably for the
event, held positions in the first
float. Some distance away from this
float another wagon draped with the
colors blue and white, and drawn by
six small boys, was much talked
about. Fourteen small boys and
girls were seated In the vehicle. Fol
lowing this section about fifty STU
dents marched, carrying banners
and small Japanese parasols.
Grace English Lutheran Church.
Both sections Of the Grace Eng
lish Lutheran church made excellent
shows both for attendance and style
of arrangement. Here again the
daisy scheme was used to good ad-
vantage. Rev. Robert L. Schlotter-
err was personally in charge of his
portion of the parade and was ably
assisted by Miss Margaret Van Dus-
en- and Howard Rooms. On a tricy-
Gle ridden by Robert Downs and
drawn by Dorothy Van Dusen and
Margaret Whitney the American
colors were artistically arranged.
Parasols were also In prominence In
this section of the parade. 1t is es-
timated that In both sections Of this
Sunday school over $50 children
were in line.
Our Sayiour's Danish Lutheran.
Harry Dinesen as banner bearer,
led the march for the Sunday school
of the Our Saviour's Danish Luth-
r church, and o. J. Morgenson
was marshall. In a wagon bedecked
with natural flowers Lydia Drost
was queen and was drawn along by
six small boys. John Shone and R.
Jensen acted as escorts to the wag-
on. Wilson Morgenson, in a daisy
wagon, also attracted his share of
attention. Astrid and Agnes Peder-
sen, twins, six years old, carrying
American flags, were very promin-
ent.

Rev. Louis Nanassy, pastor Of the
Hungarian Reformed church and
about fifty of his Sunday school pu-
pills, were participants lnNthe pa
rade and carried flags of their own
country intermingled with the red,
