She resigned her position as language
teacher in Valley City, N. D., and
came home last week to prepare for
her early marriage.
Lieutenant John is one of our boys,
who, during his growing up period,
kept us on the jump by his pranks,
but since that time has rewarded our
watchful care by attaining consider
able success in life. He received from
Senator Nelson an appointment to
West Point, on finishing his high
school course, and has just received
an early graduation on account of war
conditions with a commission as sec
ond lieutenant, with thirty days leave.
While at West Point, John made an
enviable reputation for himself as CEN
ter on the academy foot ball team. 1t
is with considerable pleasure we have
watched the career Of this sturdy
young American and we shall look
forward to his accomplishment of
greater things to come. May the
greatest of blessings be theirs is the
wish of their many friends.-Alexan-
