Wednesday afternoon q delightful
little party and miscellaneous shower
was given by Miss Helen Webster in
honor Of Miss Kate Redden, who is
soon to be bride. Members of the
same graduating class were other
guests, and Miss Redden received many
dainty and useful gifts. Ice cream and
cake We're served during the afternoon.
just four years ago the hostess and
the guest of honor had graduated from
the Normal School together, finishing
fifteen years of school work. Such an
occurrence as two people starting in the
primary grade together and finishing
the entire grammar, high school and
normal school courses at the same time,
is very rare indeed.
Miss Kate Redden is popular young
lady of this city and has made her home
in Gunnison for several years. After
finishing the normal course she taught
in the schools at Wilcox, Arizona for
some time. She came home few
weeks ago to make preparations for her
wedding which is TO occur in short
time.
She will marry Mr.. Oliver Scow, a
former lieutenant in the PHILIPPINES, but
now in the automobile business. They
will make their home in Wilcox.
The many friends of Miss Redden join
in wishing her all happiness in her new
life.

The council gave final action to the
repeating of the old bond issues.
The mayor and council made q eener-
al complaint in regard to the condition
of the sidewalks. And q general com
plaint is often heard in regard to the
lack of sidewalks in the town. To
build walks all over town, however,
would require the expenditure of sew
eral thousands of dollars, and which is
not available at this time. The council
suggests that where bitches cut into
walks, that the same should be proper
ly covered. All property owners should
give assistance in this line of work

last Friday when q class of eightesn,
the largest in the history Of the school,
was graduated. The graduating exer-
cises of the County High School were
held on Thursday night when twenty
one seniors were given their diplomas
This class is the largest in the history
Of the high school.
As . crowning event of the week s
festivities the class play, AS 1Du
Like It," was given by the normal
seniors on Friday night. This play was
rendered before the largest crowd of
the week, there being between six and
seven hundred people in the big tent on
the normal campus that evening. This
Shakespearian play was indeed well
presented by the seniors.
The exercises of commencement
week were without question the tinest
ever given at the institution. Some
thing appropriate to the occasion and
at the same time enjoyable 10 the
crowd was given each evening of the
week. The big tent provided COM
Portable auditorium which seated larger
crowd than could be accommodated by
any building in the city. The weather
was ideal with the exception Of We'd
nesday evening and ON that evening the
alumni banquet was given in the
Normal building, so that the rain which
fell did not hinder the event as 1t
would have done had the tent been used.
There were two academic professions,
the seniors of the normal and nigh
school, faculty. and members of the nigh
school board appearing in cap and gown.
DIR. VIM. A. Cook. high school visitor
of the University of Colorado delivered
the high school graduating address and
it was indeed a most able address. In
most interesting manner he pointed
out some of the high school problems of
today. He refrained from some Of the
howery "stuff" which is often heard on
such occasions, and gave an able discus
sion which was interesting TO everyone,
on some of the questions which are
facing the educational world today.
The high school class was presented
to the high school board by Principal
|. Allen keyte, and the diplomas were
presented by DIR. George Sullivan, pres
ident of the board.
Not only is this the largest class in
the history of the high school, but there
are ten boys it the class. Fourteen is
the largest number that has been grad
uated prior to this time. The graduates
are Charles Balm. Gertrude Balm. Vera

the automobile parade. There were IN
this parade a total Of fifteen aatomo-
biles, and two horse driven vehicies

occasion of about twenty pieces. This
band furnished excellent music the
greater part of the afternoon, to the
delight of the local and visiting people.
The parade passed twice through the
streets Of the town headed by the band.
This is the first occasion of its kind in
the history of Gunnison, and it is the
object of the merchants to show to the
outside people, if possible, the fine and
elegant stock Of goods carried by them.
The present plans of the merchants
are to have q like affair twice q year,
and it is the hope that each one will in
