Class of 1917 One of Largest
Ever Graduated from High School

The music of the evening makes
one wish that such occasions would
come often, to bring out the beauty
that lies dormant among our own
people so much of the time.

Emile Goebel and Mrs. Clara
Samuely, was beautifully played.
Miss Inez Nylander outdid her.

way cordial welcome.
! Adolph Waldo had a complete
and interesting history of the class,
which entered at the three schools
then in session, in 1905. They
were united in the fifth grade,
with Warren Robinson the only
representative of the Centra
school entering the class at that
time and graduating this year.
They graduated from the Eighth
grade with 36 members. They
were the last class hazed, and, by
edict of the school board putting
"a stop to the practice, they never
got their revenge. Graduating
with IS members, they are next to
the largest class to leave the
school.

SPRINGS, FRIDAY, 25
Plans for 4th of July
Celebration Abandoned

There will be no Fourth of July
celebration in Idaho Springs this
year. A group of merchants had
planned on having "A rousing good
old time celebration. and figured
it would be a good thing for the
town in more ways than one. a
three-day carnival and sports pro-
gram was planned and a committee
had called on the merchants to
raise the necessary funds Some
opposition was encountered, and
others lent only luke-warm sup
port. The city council did not
take kindly to the proposition in
view of present conditions. In
the meantime Georgetown laid
plans for repetition of their
celebration of last year and Idaho
Springs has decided to drop the
matter
Last year Alt railroad tickets
were sold from Idaho Springs to
Georgetown on the Fourth, to
say nothing of those who drove up
in autos. Next year will mark
Georgetown's 5Oth anniversary
and it is their plan to celebrate
the event in a fitting way by
again giving monster 4th of July
celebration, SO if Idaho Springs
wishes to do anything in the cele-
bration line. our turn will come
tagain in 1918.

Was II Accidental
Death or Foul Play?

L +.
watchman at the Lamartine mine.
was found near his cabin at $50
last Monday evening after he had
been dead several days, and the
nature of the wound inflicted on
his head lead to suspicious of mur-
der, but at a coroners inquest held
Tuesday evening it was determined
tina: no robbery had been CON-
mitted, and since no motive for
murder could be unearthed and
there was more probability that
Palaro had met accidental death, a
verdict to that effect was rendered.
Leo Ross Broderick, one of the
mine managers, called for Palaro
on the phone last Saturday but
failed to get an answer. Sunday
he drove up to the locality and
made search, but deep snow
covered the country and Palaro
was not to be found. Monday
the family was notified at their
home in Russell Gulch, and the
young son Herman, together Wi tn
young w. j. Williams, drove to
the scene and were rewarded by
finding the body. A terrible cash
was in the back of the head and
the skull was fractured. The hat
was still on the head, and a hole
in the hat was in the same posi-
ton as the hole in the head. A
good watch and $3.50 in change
was still in his pockets, and only a
few days before he had sent mis-
pay, $40, to his family.
The body lay curled up about
100 yards from the cabin and nearly
400 yards from the mine, about
ten feet off from the path betwee n
the two places. 1t is thought
probable Palaro was struck on the
head by a falling jagged rock in
some abandoned mine in the
vicinity and was making his way
as best he could to his cabin when
he fell in a faint and died.
The coroner's jury was composed
of Fred There, A. G. Dobbins,
Fred M. Leach, Judge Wilkins,
Don Mcdonald and George Straub
Judge Graham represented the
district attorneys office in the ex'
animation of witnesses at the in
quest.
Palaro leaves wife and eight
children. The remains are still
at Coroner Pearce's, no decision
having been reached by the family
or friends as to who will bear the
expense Of interment.

AL uliuoudlly cicoltdplS, chtSi
tanning and beautiful graduating
exercise was the class of 1917 at
the Opera House Thursday even
ing.
The address, "The Excellent
Foppery of the World, by DR.. F.
d, Slutz, Of Pueblo, was valuable
and inspiring. His manner s
engaging, and his jokes are crisp.
His talk would not be classed
with the usual address to a gradu-
ating class.
He believes that to a certain ex-
tent we are victims of circum-
stances, but that he is fop, in
deed a pretentious fool, who
chooses to blame God, or the
stars, or ancestry or country for
all the missdeeds he may choose to
commit.
Two things are necessary, said
Mr.. Slutz, to avoid being the
puppets of chance. Intelligence
must be emphasized. Goodness,
whatever it's virtue, must be backed
by intelligence. The universe is
founded upon law and love. not
chance. To be able to overcome
adverse forces, we must know
the rules of the game of life. The
second requisite to be able to
avoid being tossed about by fate,
is passionate devotion to keep
the rules of the games.
"He is happy" said the speaker
"who does all he can to make the
visible kingdom in which he lives
as near as he can like the one he
hopes to gain"
Warren Robinson's valedictory
was a gem of wording, phrasing,
and delivery. To give a resume
of it would be to give the usual
valedictory. The graduate is
likened to the battleship New
Mexico, each with a hull, needing
much to make them supremely
useful. The graduate needs a
strong will as a captain, con-
science as compass. character as
a rudder, and ambitious enthus-
iasm as fuel. But this is not fair
to Warren, for his address was
beautiful beyond his years, and
his hearers were sure to prophesy
for him an unusual future. When
he babe farewell to his classmates,
there were good many misty
eyes, for his expressions were
genuine.
Superintendent Baker presented
the class to w. A. Funk, president
of the school board, and in few
well chosen words, RECOMMENDED
that they receive diplomas of
graduation.
Mr.. Funk spoke to the class.
saying that he doubts if the men,
bers realized with what interest
their progress had been watched
by a school board who in all their
actions beg at least to be given
credit for having done their best,
taking into consideration the best
interests Of all concerned. Mr..
Funk called their attention to
the fact that for their twelve years
of school life they have been in a
receptive mood. Now they must
be no longer consumers, but pro.
ducers. Idaho Springs has school
fcilities to be proud of, but the
class must be depended upon to
show by their deeds now, whether
the buildings and equipment which
have helped to produce their
education is worth while. Mr..
Funk trusts that this class will
continue to hold aloft the standard
raised by former classes. Mr..
Funk then presented the diplomas.

Clyde Smith

An account of the death of
one among the familiar figures
of the county was given by our
correspondent at Salisbury last
week, but as an old friend of
the deceased we add a word.
Clyde Smith was among those
who, with nothing to start with
and more of an uphill pull all
thru life, made reasonably good
by determination and energy.
His hearty manner and open
nature procured for him friends
who hailed him at all times and
places, and even tho his partl-
sanship was intense and early
formed, he retained the respect
of nearly all with whom he took
issue. Clyde was educated in
the school of hard knocks and
took his education philosophical
", avoiding exposure of the
bumps and bruises as far as
possible and the source of their
origin.
Perhaps there has never been
a larger attendance at a funeral
than assembled at Bennett
cemetery to pay the last res
poets to a departed brother.
comrade or friend. The Odd
Fellows from Salisbury. this
city. Dalton and Pee Dee and
other lodges turned out in num-
bers and the assemblage OF
friends not connected with the
deceased by society ties added
to the fraternal friends, made
one acknowledge the popularity
of Clyde Smith who had no 9TH
er means of judging.
We extend sincerest sympathy
to his survivors and as deeply
regret the loss of our friend as
any not connected by family
ties.
