the character of each person. The
character sketches seemed to fit right
well.
This was followed by the. history
Of the class and the activity of the
various members in the atheletic
lines given by Hiram Jarret.
Ambitions of the Seniors was Civ
en- by Gladys Carson. Some aspire
to be teachers, some professors, some
farmers and some housewives.
Miss Myrtle Moore rendered de-
lightful piano solo. She is so well
known for her splendid playing, nor
did the student body fail to appre-
ciate her talent.
"The Future of the Class of 1917"
was read by the prophecies, Georgia
Anthony, and just think, they have
the audacity to prophesy that one of
their members will be nominated as
a candidate for the presidency in
some far distant time. Other events
foretold were more in keeping with
the past and future ability of the
class.
Next was a rousing Senior yell:
Hurry up, scurry up,
Don't waste time
Seniors, Seniors,
Eight plus nine.
An interesting and appropriate
Glass Will was read by Mabel Bunt-
ing, and we assure them that we APP
preciate the legacies they have left
us.
Margaret Reasoner enlarged upon
the merit of the class because they
had to part with their loved faculty.
Her Farewell to the Faculty" was
decidedly fitting.
Ethel Cain then gave the "Fare-
we'll to the School, She expressed
the hope that we who compose the
classes Of the future should profit by
their most worthy example. And we
sincerely promise and declare that
we will improve their record both in
classroom and on the athletic field.

had left the Ryan home, Marie said
to Leona: "Once l said that / would
never be farmers wife, but ! have
almost changed my mind"
Rachael Brewer, who was out all
of last week, returned Monday.
Nolen Bond was heard to say this
"Well, l can either go to the frot or
go on the farm or else get married.
l don't want to go to the front and
l haven't any farm so guess that l
shall have to get married"
On account of the track meet next

les shall meet May 10, week later.
The Baccalaureate services shall
be held May 20 at the Christian
church, also the Commencement ex-
ercises shall be given at the Chris
tan church May 25.
We Juniors will attempt to do JUS
tice to the splendid chapel exercises
given by the Seniors Tuesday morn
ing. Although they made some re-
marks inferring that they were very
much inferior, we will try to forgive
them. Our time is coming and we
will then show them the error of their
judgment. Miss Louise Falls, the
president of the Senior class, presided
during the exercises. At her request
the school sang "Litoria," favorite
school and college song.
The class motto is: with the
Ropes of the Past We Ring the Bells
of the Future" The colors are Old
Rose and White. The class flowers
are Violets.
Miss Vera Young gave an inter-
esting history of the class, expound-
ing the various merits of the men,
bers of the class. Three of the men,
bers have spent their entire school
life in the Liberal schools.
The character of the different SEN
Tors were next told by Miss Linn
Bunting. She told incidents to prove

No arrangement was made with
Lee Larrabee to be cheer leader May

We appreciate his determination to
stay young.
Geo. Weihmeier leaves this week
for Barnes, Kan, where he will go to
work on a farm.
Freda Ideker has quit school and
will go to Texas.
Meryl Bloom, Edward Browning

During the sacking of Lawrence,
one Skaggs, a border ruffian, tied
the flag to his horses tail and drag
ged it in the streets of Lawrence.
Skaggs went down the street not long
since dragging the same flag in the
mud behind an automobile.
The track meet has been advanced
to Friday so we could have our pic
mic.

days.
In the silent reading tests given to

kite day at the fair grounds. Prizes

The old brick grade school really
has a name-an official name, the
Lincoln school, The new school
building in the southwest part of
town will be called the Garfield
school. When the present high school
is used for ward school it, no doubt,
will be called the Mckinley school.
A place will be given in the school
exhibit for work done "out of school"
Let's take an interest in that, too,
and bring our woodwork, cooking,
sewing, samples of garden stuff,
chickens, rabbits, flowers, etc. If we
can make it worth while. Let's boost
the school exhibit.
The boy scouts went on hike to
cuts Friday evening. After supper
several games were played, after
which they sat around the camp fire
and told stories and jokes until about
10 o'clock. All had fine time.
Sign painters do not need to spell.
"Hear" means in this place.
Tate Rhea has returned to school
after the illness of her brother at
Dalhart.
Ray Waite's little brother ques-

Ray said that it would be like heaven
when school was out.
