various circumstances in a distant
city, 16 years hence. The ladies
were Alice Harrington, Helen Potts,

lectively, gave an account of each
member of the class. So far as we
can learn all members of the class
accepted philosophically the doom
or success that is to be theirs.

by Roy Appleman, editor-in-chief,
and his staff-Merrick Snearley,

Herbert Ross, president of the Sem
iOr class, presented the keys of the

as his theme II AM" Speaking of
the great I Am, God, Jehovah, the
Christ-he dwelt on God as the del
ty, the supreme being, the ruler of
mankind, and as the Saviour. He
recommended the Christ as the best
friend one can have-one who un-
derstands. who is ready to carry our
burdens, help in our weakness. He
pointed out that all the good in life
has it's source in God-that where
Christ and his precepts are not
known and followed, the richest
privileges are not enjoyed. He re-
ferred to the fact that the public
schools, with all the accompanying
Benefits, are the product of Chris
tianity.
The sermon was replete with good
thoughts and splendid sentiments.

one of superior merit, and one whose
wholesome advice and opinions on
the things really worth while in life.

Glens Win First Game of Season

The base ball season opened here
Sunday with a game between the
Rocky Glens and a team of Deaver-
town, Misco and Santoy players, the
local team taking the decision on a.
8 to / score in one of the best and
hardest fought games local fans have
seen on the home grounds in the
past year. Dalrymple, for the visi-
tors, pitched an excellent game, but
Lee Spung, for the local team, show
ed the fans brand of cool, heady
pitching that could not be beat He
struck out 13 of the opposing team.
His GOODNESS and control was shown
at it's best when the visitors were at
bat in the ninth. The first three
men up reached first safely and the
bases were filled while fans with
weak hearts began gasping for
breath. Spung famed the next man
up; rapid fire play to the plate re-
tired the man on third on an at
tempted squeeze play and the next
man up famed for the third out.
The Rocky Glen club is composed
of entirely local players this season
and looks to be at least so per cent
stronger than last season.
If nothing happens to interfere
there will be another game next
Sunday against strong team. 1t
is also expected to have the grand
stand completed by then.
While the committee of business
men appointed to solicit subscriptions
for building the grand stand have
not as yet obtained all the money
needed, they are confident that par
ties who have not been solicited will
bring the total up to amount de-
sired, and have gone ahead and let
the contract-XX.
