The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1917-05-10

The Junior class has the Bulletin
this week. You would know it with
out being told because of the splen-
did way it is gotten up.
The class of 10 is THE CLASS of
Lbs. We have most of the real
good men on the track and football
teams. There are about thirty OF. US,
so next year we can probably count
on a class of about twenty-five or
thirty members. We not only have
quantity but quality, which really
counts. Our girls are the prettiest
and the wittiest; our boys the strong
est and the best. We also promise
that some ancient Senior records will
be broken by the Senior class of 10.
Why? Because we have the goods,
we are alive, we do things, and most
Of all, we are not afraid to work, and
have the necessary "pep" to make
our dreams come true. Some Of our
girls intend to teach. One intends
to make the teaching Of music her
life work, for awhile at least. Some
are planning college careers. A few
Of our boys will probably be farm
ers. One boy seems to be preparing
: himself for merchants career. An
other plans to become a dentist. One
Of the Junior boys has shown his 10y
atty to the Stars and Stripes by en-
listing. Several more are showing
their loyalty by assisting in the pro-
duction Of foodstuffs. Thus we are
standing by the boys who have gone
to the front AS proof Of our energy
and "pep" several Of the members of
the Junior classes are working their
way through school. We have the
spirit that do things and our proph-
ecy is that some records will be
broken in our chosen field of life
work, as well as school records.
Last Friday the high school had the
pleasure of assisting in a flag-rais-
ing. Mr.. Magruder presented the
high school with large flag in be-
half of the Liberal Light Ice and
Power Company at the chapel per-
iod. The centre student body as
sembled around the main entrance of
the high school building. Miss Bruce,
aided by the orchestra, led the sing
ing. The Doxology was sung after
which c. C. Brown read a passage of
scripture. The song, America"
was then sung. Miss Louise Falls
read a carefully prepared paper,
"What the Flag Stands For" Mr..
Rindom then made little talk on
"What Patriotism Really Is" Mr..
Hobble made the presentation speech
at this time to which Mr.. Feather re-
piled in behalf of the school and the
board of education. Then while the
students sang "The Star Spangled
Banner" Mr.. Rindom raised the flag
over the building where it fluttered
gracefully in the breeze. The flag is
appreciated very much by the people
who compose the. Liberal high school.
1t makes them feel quite proud and
patriotic to see such flag floating
over their beloved high school build
ing.
The Panhandle meet and the Lit
erary contest which was to be held
here last Saturday was postponed un-
til next Friday because of the rain
and snow. 1t is hoped that next FRI
day will be nice day and that a
large crowd will attend all the events.
Every man that can even act as if he
wants a place on the team is wanted
The track and literary teams from
Goodwill, Guymon, Elkhart, Beaver
City and Forgan were very much dis
appointed, and so was Liberal, be-
cause the meet and contest could not
be held last Saturday, but we hope
they will come again.
A met is being planned with Gar
den City for May 10. There are many
chances for new men to make the
team if they will only practice.
