Our entertainment on Friday even
| ing, March %, was truly complete
success; the school room was crowded
to it's utmost, and only with the very
best class Of people. Business men
and their wives were out from town
and this is as it should be-the far
mer appreciates little help from TIE
town people in a social way. We have
now earned nearly $50 for our school
equipment and what is now left will
be used to get large pictures and a
waste basket.
A special vote of thanks is rendered
Verne Steward, our former county
agent, Messrs. Marks, Gebert, Holthuss
Falk, Ellenbaum and the Misses Ger
trude Strauch, Wanda Haman1i and

in various ways to make our program,

was very welcome visitor, also Mrs.
H. c. Harrington and south school
pupils, our good practice teacher, Miss
Helena Noeske, Edward Gebert and
Gertrude. Strauch, during the month.
Out of respect to the parents of Ed
ward Meyer and the father, who, has
served as chairman of our school board
for about Is years, the west and east
schools of district 8, where Edward at
tended, were closed at noon on March,
rs, and also in order that his school,
mates and the teachers might paw
their last respects by attending the,
obsequies. Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer have
been widely identified with public in
terests throughout the surrounding
countryside and their sorrow are also
the sorrow of their friends. Death
ever brings sorrow, but when the
young and middleaged, in the midst of
life's activities and ambitions, are
called from us the parting is doubly
sad. The broken column fittinglv
typifies the hopes and ambitions, the
strength, the life which is now broken
and destroyed.
Thou hast left us, dearest Edward
We shall never see thee more;
Thou hast gone to rest forever
On the bright celestial shore.
Always true and kind and loving,
You were ever to the last,
Until God saw fit to call you
From the trials of the past.
Oh how sad are your dear parents
As they weep for one so dear,
Since no earthly gem nor treasure
Can replace the one SO near
Oh. farewell, farewell forever.
They must let their loved one rest.
And no more they'll see him coming
With his smiles of love SO best
