Holmes. y
The program was introduced by De
Eta Scholberg. She said in part that
the lives and works of several Ameri-
can poets had been studied in the
reading and literature classes and the
poet most popular was Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. Z
George Deem told very interest
ing incident in the life of Sheba
Holmes, grandmother, who lived in
the Indian country, when to step out
side the fortress or blockade house
often meant death. Sheba Holmes
went from the fortress to secure veg
etables from the garden. An old In
dian told her years later how he had
that day planned to kill her but both

Hattie Erickson gave a brief bio

the same year as Lincoln, Tennyson.

gregational minister and his mother of
Dutch descent. Holmes was a good
student and graduated in 1929, mem

Josie Wiley told briefly the interest
ing story Of "Old Ironsides" and read

humorous poems, which tells of an
author who wrote as funny as he
could. The effects of this poem on the
editor who read it. were SO disastrous
that the author never again dared to
write as funny as he could.
The Zone Hoss Shay" one of the
most popular of Holmes poems, was
read by Evelyn Corby and Lawrence
Kirkeby.
Half humorous, half serious is '''The
Last Leaf" which was read by Agnes

The members of the present COM
pany were with the old Schumann

Under Mr.. Lydell this company has

Catholic church is a great fellow to
fix up his church and residence prop
erty. Recently he let the contract for
the inside decoration of St. Gather

this work. Perhaps there will be no
church edifice in these parts that will
have the interior decorations that this
church will have when finished. Beau
tiful paintings representing Bible
characters will adorn ceiling and
walls and the interior is indeed a work
Of art. This will cost in the neigh

Prof. J. B. Meyer attempted to
make a submarine out Of his motor
boat yesterday at the all-school pic
mic of the Normal. He claims that
another boat struck his, causing it
to capsize in several feet of water,
and forcing him to swim to shore.
The boat, it was found, would go I'M
der water all right, but some how or
other it refused to come UP without
pulling, which was accomplished by
sticking a rake into the water and
hooking lit onto a part Of the boat.
Neither Mr.. Meyer nor the boat are
much worse off for the adventure.
Note: Serves him right. For the last
few years or ever since Speed Artist
Meyer has been the possessor of mo-
tor boat. other motor boat owners rid
ing on the river have been in danger
of their lives on account of his reck-
less driving. All this man thinks Of
is to step on the gas and let 'er 60,
regardless of the safety of others. The
writer of this note has been challenged
time and again for race by this
speed king, but every time he sees us
coming he takes to the shore or else
finds some trouble with his engine.
But we are going to knock that chip off
his shoulder this season or know the
reason why and we will bet, all the
