School Party Saturday

'"The Freshmen are certainly to be
congratulated' was a remark very
frequently heard on and after last
Saturday evening. Why? Because
on that evening occurred the all-high
school party at which the Freshmen
were the hosts. With its tables, the
piano, the cozy corner and the touch
of green decoration the gymnasium
had taken on quite an air of festivity
which contrasted very pleasantly
with it's usual dull baroness.
The festivities really began when
the favors we're distributed. Such
favors so different from any you have
ever seen before! They had been
hand made and much patience they
must have taken. Tiny testers heads
they were-each with a gay green
ruff and streamers of maroon, red,
rose and silver-thus representing
the colors of every class. To one
of these streamers was attached the
score card which assigned each guest
to his table. Then came the games
wherein the successful couples pro-
gresesd to higher tables in the sue
cessive excitements of peanut jab,
jack-straws, puzzle building and
ord-building from 'Freshman."
Races followed drag and
courtesy relay. Wild enthusiasm
reigned.
After the grand march and re-
freshments came one fieeting hour
of dancing, parlor quoits and chat
ting-and the party was over.
There is no question as to it's sue
cess. Everybody came to have a.
good time and had it. The party
meant hard work for the Freshmen
and their advisor, Miss Woodman-
but by unanimous vote-it was
worth it!

doing this work and they were or
ganized during the last few months
of the war. Their work contributed
materially to the success of the Allies
in the critical days of the war thru
their success in locating enemy guns.
They located the enemy guns by
timing the flash of the gun and the
roar as the shell left the weapon.
Their operations were secret and the
men belonging to the companies were
not even allowed to mention to what
organization they belonged.
MicrODhones were set up all along
the front lines. These sound detect
ing machines we're linked to a central
station further in the rear. The de-
tectOrS recorded sounds to the hum
dredth part of a second and with
them the American artillery was en-
abled to locate hidden German bat
teries and score direct hits. The
flash and sound organizations were
stationed in the Toul sector when the
Germans started the great drive
which was the beginning of their
defeat. Members of the unit say the
Boche had superiority of the air and
that the American and Allied planes
and balloons wer unable to go up
to locate many batteries. On in
formation furnished by the flash
and sound unit the American artil-
lery laid down it's first barrage as
one of the most Derfect1v executed
of the war.
The flash unit of the organization
went with the American infantry
all thru the Chateau Thierry drive,
locating enemy guns by calculating
the time the sound was heard, the
time it was seen and the speed with
which sound, light and projectiles
travel. The men were cited by the
Major General commanding the Am
ericans in that sector for their ex
cellent work.

Students Club

An interesting program was given
at the regular meeting of the Stud
ents Club Monday at the home of
Mrs. Geenty. The subject was, "The
Nation in Arms" with Mrs. Grove as
leader.
Mrs. Geenty read a splendid paper
on Advances in Surgery and il
lustrated with magazine pictures
showing the wonderful feats of war
time surgeons. A paper on "Ad-
vances in Therapeutics" prepared by
Mrs. Fitzgerald, was read by Mrs.
Stebbins.
A most interesting subject was
Advances in Ship Building by Mrs.
Gould. One hardly realizes the great
advance in this very important in
dustry until getting the subject
down in black and white.
A very timely matter for consider
alton was Advances in World Fed
Grafton" presented by Mrs. Stone.
Her paper received the close atten-
tion it deserved.
A pleasant feature of the afternoon
was a brief musical program, Miss
Alvina Miller singing, "The Bird of
Love Divine" and Until We Meet
Again" Miss Margaret Kohler gave
two piano numbers, Quartette from
Rigaletto and Polish Dance. At the
close Mrs. Geenty and Mrs. Voss, the
hostesses served dainty refreshments.
The club adjourned to meet with
Mrs. E. J. Jones, April IA. Mrs
Light and Mrs. Stebbins will assist
Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Morrison will be
the leader. A program on French
music in the nature of a lecture re-
cital will be given. Members have

mystery SOLDIERS"
RETURN FROM FRANCE
Edmond Wunsch and William Ring
Arrive in Morris Early Sunday
;. Morning

Two Morris boys, members of the
"mystery soldiers" so called because
the nature of their hazardous work
in the 29th Engineers has never been
disclosed, arrived home early Sunday
morning from Camp Grant, where
they were discharged. These boys
were Edmond G.. Wunsch and Will
liam Ring, and to say that they are
glad to be home is not expressing
their sentiments at all. They could
both write a book on their exper-
fences, but like most of the returned
soldiers, they are loath to speak of
their part in the great war. Some
of the thrilling experiences which
they. have been thru are related be-
low. Ed was in the service for
thirteen months, eight of which were
spent in France, and VIM. was in for
over a year. They both belonged to
the famous Company "C' of the 29th
Engineers and we're two Of the
twenty-five of the survivors of the
entire company.
This company belonged to the
sound and flash rangers, known dur
ing the latter days of the war as the
mystery soldiers" There were on
ly four companies in the entire army

MAY GET BETTER TRAIN
SERVICE, BUT NO DEPOT
Business Men Urge Inadequacy Of
Great Northern Train Service
at This Point

An enlarged committee of the Nor
ris Commercial Club on Great North
ern train service and a new depot
met at the Commercial Club rooms
last Sunday afternoon, and after dis
cussing the two projects, agreed to
go to st. Paul on Tuesday night to
wait upon the Great Northern off
cials.
On Tuesday morning, however, M.
M. Hubert, district passenger agent
of the Great Northern Railroad, met
with the committee and other busi-
ness men here. The complaint of
the city of Morris against the Great
Northern train service was ably set
forth by several speakers. The great
inconvenience in travelling east by
either No. 10 or the day local was
set forth, also the entire absence of
a passenger train on Sunday. Sew
eraI other objections against the ser
vice as it exists today were pointed
out, but it was also shown that all
of these objections would be met by
again putting No. 4 on this division
to run on it's old time between and
6 o'clock in the evening and resolu-
tion was adopted asking that this be
done.
Another thing asked was that the
day passenger trains carry chair
and dining car.
Mr.. Hubert was impressed with
the justice of the requests of the
citizens of Morris for these changes,
and said that he would recommend
them to the proper officials.
On the matter of new depot, how
ever, no hope could be held out at
present. Mr.. Hubert stated that
congress had failed to provide the
railroads with the necessary funds
and that they had no money with
which to build depots. The made
quacy of the Norris depot, he said,
was we'll recognized by Great North
ern officials, and he advised taking
up the matter thru the proper chan
neIs as soon as the railroads were
again given back to the owners.

in which they will take part during
the coming season. In addition to
the very complete program of work
prepared, preparations are being
made for entertainment and a very
good time. Every girl and boy who
attend this course will go home with
the idea that he has had one of the
most pleasant and profitable times
that has ever been offered to him.
On April 10th special conference
will be held for all people interested
in the advancement of Boys and
Girls Club work. This will include
business men, farmers, county sup
erintepdents, school teachers, etc.,
who have donated prize money and
who are taking an active part in the

presented with the certificates which

cises were held in the Orpheum the
atre last Friday evening and the aud
ience present taxed the capacity of
this, the largest auditorium in the
city.
Dean L. D. Coffman delivered the
graduating address for this, the ninth
annual commencement and he dealt
with the educational progress of the
government for the re-education of
disabled soldiers. This work was or
ganized in all of the government hos
pitals by Dean Coffman. In speaking
of Bolshevism he said that education
was the only effective remedy and
that 80 per cent of Russia was illit-
crate. Superintendent P. E. Miller
presented the diplomas to a gradual
ing class of 16. Many members Of
the senior class were unable to grad
uate because of being out of school
for one or more terms because of en-
listment in the army or the stress
of work at home.
