Several of the subcommittee who

matter of staging the 60th Anniver-
sary Celebration Of the Indian Mas
sacre and Home Coming Week from
Wednesday, August II to Sunday
August 21, inclusive have had meetings

the duties and the work to be perform
ed by their respective committees.
Ladies Are Busy.
AS was to be expected, the Ladies
Auxiliary is showing keen interest in
the celebration and are planning diff
ferent entertainments in the near future
for the purpose Of raising funds to help
defray the heavy expenses which the
celebration will entail. 1t is now plan
ned to have a coffee social in the
Pioneer Log Cabin in the early part OF
May and before that time to have a
card party. In addition to this, a
committee consisting of Miss Alice
Haeberle, and Mrs. w. G. Alvin has
been appointed to arrange for the sale
of home baking every Saturday. Just
how this will be arranged and where
the home baking will be on sale has
not been determined so far. The aux
iliary organized by electing Mrs. F..
P. Zschunke, chairman, Mrs. Ernst

Committees Organize.
The committee on entertainment and
program elected M. j. Bieber, chair
man, and Fred Pfaender secretary, at
a meeting recently held. In a general
way the matter of the entertainments
was discussed but no definite action
was taken except to try and secure
prominent speakers for the occasion.
Steps have already been taken to get
into touch with some of the speakers
that the committee feels should be Sc
cured but inc view of the fact that
nothing definite has been decided upon
the committee prefers not to mention
the persons with whom negotiations
have been begun. In view OF the
fact that the duties of the entertain
ment and program committee and that
, of Concessions and Attractions depend
one upon the other to certain extent,
it was decided to have joint meeting
for the purpose of determining the
scope Of the work of each commit
tee and to work jointly in the best
interests of the celebration. Henry
N. Somsen was elected chairman and
Elmer Fl. Haeberle secretary on the
committee of Concessions and Attrac-
tions. So &

The first event that has been ar
ranged for the purpose of raising funds
for the celebration is the Easter Dance

ius, Otto F. Oswald, John Brey
Charles Stuebe and Herman Helm are
now busy selling tickets for this dance
They hope to be fully as successful
as the committee was which had charge
of the Easter dance ten years ago al
the time of the Golden Jubilee, }Wher
over $3.50 was cleared.
$159.7S as Nest Egg.
In connection with the raising O

S159.78 which was realized from th
presentation Of the play, Eff of thy
Toyshop." At the time this enter
tainmenit was staged it was understoo'
that the proceeds should be used fo

- turn over this money to the fnanc
committee.
Will Tax Junior Pioneers.
In view Of the fact that this Hon
Coming celebration is one that is un
der the special supervision Of the Ju
nior Pioneers and the net proceeds,

that the members Of the Junior Pt
