JUNIOR.SENIOR BANQUET

On April "a the annual Junior-Sen-
ior Banquet was held in the gym
nasium, which was very appropriately
decorated in maroon and white, the
Senior class colors, and the tables
were decorated with American beauty
roses, the class flower.
During the excellent meal the din
ers were kept constantly interested by
a long string of telegrams-the work
OF a well known humorist, whose re-
sources of humor are seemingly in
exhaustable.
The dinner was followed by an ex-
ceptionally pleasing toast program,
the best of which was furnished by
the drollest Of toastmasters, Paul
Congdon.
After the dinner the Junior boys
showed their good spirit by hastily
removing the tables. When the floor
was cleared the dance started and
lasted until eleven o'clock.
1t a the unanimous decision OF
all capable of judging that this was
the best banquet ever served in Miller
High.
The senior class in whose honor
this banquet was given wish to extend
their sincerest thanks to the juniors
of 1923 and hope that next year when
they are guests at this traditional
dinner they may be as royalty enter
tanned as we're the seniors of 1928.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1923-05-31

1t is n purpose of a school to give
its students a desire for further ed
ucation. Miller High has been sue
cessful in this for one-third of the
class of 1923 expect to enter college
next year. Blanche Churchill and
Lucille Paddleford will attend Nebras-
ka State University at Lincoln; Gen
evieve Dunn and Marion Corcoran will
go to the South Dakota State Univer-
sity at Vermillion. Lowell Greene,
Walter futile and Rogers Simons will
be at Huron and Charles Burns at
Iowa State University. Three mem
bers, Kenneth Miller, Harold Goudie,
and Lyonel Hines are thinking of 60
ing away but are still undecided.
Most of the girls have taken Normal
Training the past two years and will
teach. Some of them hope to be able
to enter college in a year or two.
OF course a number of the students
have not determined on the future
as yet.
This is a fine record, much better
than last year when only one-sixth Of
the class went on to institutions of
higher education. These are capable
young people who are graduating and
NJ. II. s. is proud of them.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

For the first time since 1917 Miller
was again represented at the State
Dramatic Contest and again emerged
the victor. Our victorious represent
alive was G~ennevieve Dunn, who was
easily the best at the contest. AS a
result of the victory Miller High
School was presented with a large
loving cup. on which will be engraved
the name of our school and that OF
our contestant and which we may
keep until won by some other school.
In addition to- this Gennevieve re-
ceived a gold medal and other cup,
smaller than the state cup, which was
given to her by cur local jeweler Mr..
William Johnson.
Gennevieve is a senior and for the
our years she has won first for
Miller in our district defamation
contest and has represented this dis
trict i'm the division contest.
And this year she has been reward
ed for the work which she has ex-
pended on dramatiCs and has brought
great glory to her school.
Next wear Gennevieve will not be
with us and we must worry along
without her. And, although the loss
will he a great one. we shall still nave
dramatic talent of which we may be
proud, and we may expect to be well
represented in the future, as we nave
been in the past.

MENCEM

The end of the year has come and
with 1t another commencement. This
is the time to which the Seniors OF
today have been looking forward for
he past four years. Now the goa
has been attained and they go forth
into the world to new periods of pre-,
paration and tc new commencements
Their whole lives have been made
up of a series of commencements
which have followed periods of pre-.
paration in which they labored thai
they might begin anew at commence,
ment. All of our life's commence
meEts do not stand out as clearly as
does that which our Seniors are ex-
~periencins, but they are none the less
a graduation from n task to another
a better, one-a graduation
which comes only as a reward of work
we'll done.
This week marks one of the most
important milestones in the life OF
every n of the graduates. 1t is
their first great commencement. II is
the turning point for which the prev.
iOus years of their lives have been
merely a preparation. Their years
have been full, their work well done
their preparation has been complete
And now they are ushered out OF
everything pertaining to the days OF
their childhood. Their task has been
well done. They are ready now to &C
forth and take up bigger. better tasks
in a larger, sterner world.

MILLER HIGH SCHOOL

To the outsider, who has long OBJ
served our public school life, ii APP
pears that the big thing in the Miller
Public School is the fine spirit Of 10y
atty that exists in the entire student
body. This is in marked contrast to
the attitude taken in times past, that
il stands out as worthy of notice. With
this feeling of loyalty and desire for
| cooperation, there could not again
take place such action as the seniors
took several years ago. Then the SEN
iGrs assumed that their wishes were
superior to both school board and IA
Guilty. On commencement night the
graduating class refused to appear on
the platform and receive diplomas,
unless a certain member of the class
who had failed to attain the required
credits, was allowed to graduate with
them. The faCualty compromised the
matter and the delinquent was given
q conditional certificate of graduation,
This action was very much regretted
by every one connected with the af-
fair. 1t advertised the delinquency
of him who failed with out adding
ANYTHING to his credits. 1t threaten
ed the high school held by Miller a
mong the accredited schools of the
state.
Such an affair could not happen
now. There is not a pupil who would
accept even a semblance of gradua-
ton honors, unless he merited them
to the fullest requirements, nor would
any pupil permit any action that
would lower the high standard attain
ed by the school.
Much has taken place in our schools
in past few years that has appealed
to the public. The splendid record
made by our athletic teams, the lone
distance gained toward the goal OF
victory by our d%ebaters, the bringing
TO Miller the silver cup, grand prize
for recital, the splendid and varied
musical entertainments that have beer
such q delight to all.
Much as these have pleased the pub
lie, it has given faculty, school board
and parents a deeper pleasure to know
of the earnest cooperation OF the stu
dents and their very evident desire
10 make most Of the splendid oppor-
tunities offered them. Because oil
this, Is offered this tribute to Miller
High. It's teachers royal, its students
LOYAL. each doing its best. With non
est endeavCr, then trusting forever
in God for the rest.

APPRECIATION

As the time for commencement APP
proaches the Seniors of '23 begin to
look forward to the coming years with
joyful anticipation and we rejoice that
we have completed High School. But
there is a shadow of sorrow that we
have finished High School. For four
years we have studied there, learning
to- play LIES game squarely, without
fear. In four years we have come TO
love Miller High. We have striven
continually to make il better, and to
establish its supremacy over the sur
rounding schools.
One of the facts that strike us most
vividly Is Miller's rapid progress in
the last four years. When We were
but Freshmen, things were in a bad
condition. There was no school spirit
too few realized the schools possibili-
ties to help them, and there reigned a
spirit of vandalism. But our new sup
erintendent was ne gutter, things be-
gan to improve, our enrolment has
increased nearly fifty per cent in four
years, the boys and girls have come to
realize the benefits to be realized here,
the school board has increased the
value OF these benefits by trying TO
give us the best faculty in the state
and last but far from least, a new
school spirit has sprung up that has
made us one unit of boosters and
fighters for Miller High School, and
the towns people, seeing this new
spirit, have given us their best back
ing.
Now when we again turn to- the
future, we can see Miller High so
improved that she will lead all the
schools in South Dakota. This is no
idle dream, 1t is a possibility that all
OF liz have come to strive towards in
our love of Miller High, and we hope
that those who will fill our places
will strive as hard to gain this end
as the class of '23 has striven. Our
four years in M. II. S. are going to
be as time goes by, n of our bright
est memories and we will always have
a feeling of love tucked away in some
corner of our hearts for the school
that has given US its best, has striven
for four years to live the right life,
to think straight, and to act straight,
so that We may i'm later days achieve
the rue heighth of success.

NORMAL TRAINING CLUB

A special meeting of the Normal
Training Club was held in the library
May 9th for the purpose OF electlng
officers FOR the following year.
We regret to say our supervisor and
founder of the CLUB will not be with
us another year, but she has express
ed her desire hat the work OF the
club continue. We began our meeting
with a few words from Mrs. Bentz
following which the election was held.
A fin of a ccin in the result OLA
tie gave Nina Cree the office or pres
ident. Paul Congdon, a favGrlte
amongst us, easily received a majority
for the chair in the absence OF Nina.
Sylvia parterka was elected secretary
treasurer. A standing committee was
chosen, consisting of Clifford burke
Kathleen Tranter, and Dorothy Hunt.
We made the newly elected prove n a
our choice was wise by having each
give q short speech. Their ability was
proved and we can be assured a sue
cessful year with such capable ana
willing workers to lead the club.
On Nav 10 we held our annual PIC
mic in st. Lawrence Grove. We went
by train which made us feel a long
way from home. That feeling and the
spring breezes made us appreciate the
work of the refreshment committee.
An excellent picnic supper was serV-
ed and after a ball game in which the
girls proved they really play ball, the
club d%isbanded for the summer.
We feel that the club has added TO
the social life of our department as
we'll as %furthering its educational
aims. and we bespeak and increased
membership for next year.

CARNIVAL FIND

The Carnival was a grand success
both socially and financially. Six
hundred forty-seven dollars were TAX
Ell in. After the various expenses of
the year had been met, three hundred
dollars remained. 1t was decided to
spend this money for something of
permanent value to the school, among
the articles suggested were a motion
picture machine and an electric clock
and bell system Both of these would
he very useful and are suggestion for
future purchases.
The Board of Control believes that
they have met most pressing need
with this money. They have decided
that it shall be spent on books for
a good library. 1t will be divided
equally among the English, History,
Scientific and Vocational departments.
In the improved building there will be
room for a separate library and read
ing
1t would be fine il next year the
high school could put on some novel
event which would net as large a pro-
fit. There IRE a great many things
needed, but the new pictures and new
books will go far. Programs and
events similar to- the carnival not
only help out financially but strength
en- the school spirit and hold the in
tercst of the pupils.

High School Orchestra played Abide
With Me-, as a professional.
Following this the congregation join
ed in that old familiar hymn How
Firm A Foundation" Rev. IT,. Simons

by the putting on Of my hands. For
God hath not given us the spirit of
fear: but of power, and Of love, and
of a sound mind"
The following song, written by a
member of the class, was sung by
the congregation:
Glass Hymn
Tune-Loye Divine, all love excelling'
L CtdIZd
We are met here for communion
With our Lord who guides US all;
His W presence He has promised
If His children on Him call.
May we fell Thy presence nea us
In the stiffness of this hour;
May our lives gain strength and pur-
pose,
From Thy Spirits q%uickening power,
2 StanZa
May the blessings life has brought us
Find expression through the years,
Building lives of truth and courage,
Hampered not by blighting fears
Lies decisions need Thy wisdom;
May we choose that better part,
Lose ourselves in service for Thee,
Gladly work with willing heart.
blanche Churchill. %,
A group from the Boys Glee Club
sang Hold Thou My Hand" after
which the benediction was given.
This was a very beautiful service

they profit by the good advice they
received and may their school ever
be proud to claim them.

FAREWELL

Farewell, Glass of Nineteen Twenty
Three. To you Seniors who were and
are no longer-fareweli.
Your spirit as a class and as in
diyiduals has long been an inspiration
TO the rest of the student body. Your
achievements have lever been SUR
passed or even equalled. And o
that you have gone on, may your
spirit be always as good and your
achievements ever as great as the
spirit showed and the deeds perform
ed by you as one of us-as students
of Miller High School.
AS a class, a unified body, you now
no longer exist and soon will be
broken and scattered. But in the tra-
ditions of this, your school, and in the
memory of her loyal sons and daugh-
ters you will live on as a class worthy
of emulation. Your name and your
record will stand as standards by
which future classes will be judged,
and as incentives to urge and beckon
them ON. Proud. happy and honored
the class well may be. which can
equal the accomplishments or rival
the spirit of the Glass of Nineteen
Twenty-Three.
