TWENTY-EIGHT
TO GRADUATE
Joe Siegfried and Mildred
Doan are Class Lead
ers Scholastically

There are many smiles, much
laughter, and an optimistic air
in general in the senior class of
1928 Of the Kennewick high school
this week. The reason is not un-
apparent, in fact it can be stated
in just four words-commence-
ment is May 10.
DR.. N. ID. Showalter, ex-presi-
dent of Cheney Normal school, will
deliver the address Thursday eve
ming at the graduation exercises
which will be held at the Metho-
dist church at eight o'clock. Twen-
ty-eight students, fifteen boys and
thirteen girls, will be presented
with handsome new diplomas done
in class and school colors. Joe Sieg-
fried is the valedictorian of this
years class with an average Of
95 for the four years. Mildred Doan
is salutatorian with an average Of
SO. Six other students are gradual
ing with honor, having an average
grade for the entire high school
course, Of above 80. They are: Carl
Reese, Violet Guernsey, Elsie Tur-
ner. Edna Kimpel, Cecil Boyer and
Silver Mcguire. Others who will
receive diplomas are: Joe Brown,
George Broughman, Gerald Camp
bell, Arthur Carpenter, Harry Eb-
bett, Leonard Kinkaid, Kenneth
Kratzer. Earle McMillin, Charles
Warnock, Donald Fox, Fred Gar
rett, Elga Mclean, Margaret
Crawford, Elizabeth Frazier, Eth
lyn Kilt, Lulu Lampson, Ora May
Lyons, Verdella Mueller, Isabel
Williams, Lille DeHaven.
Complete details Of the COM
mencement program were unob-
tainable today.
The baccalaureate service will
be held Sunday evening, May 6 at
which time the Rev. F. N. Morton
will address the class on the SUBJ
ject, "0ur Heritage" The invoca-
tion will be given by the Rev. L.
]. Aldrich, followed by scripture
reading by the Rev. John B. PEN
nell. songs by the glee club and
violin solo by Miss Virginia Idol.
The graduating class this year
is exactly the same size as the
class of 1927, but is much smaller
than the average class for the past
six years. In scholastic work it
seems to have an edge on its pre-
decessor. The valedictorian This
year has a one point higher aver
age than the valedictorian Of last
year, and the salutatorian is four
tenths of a point higher than the
two salutatorians last year; and
whereas last year there but six to
graduate with honor, this year
there are eight.

LOCALS WIN
BALL GAME
Tight Play is Feature of
Game Sunday-Go to
White Bluffs Next

Hard pressed by the fighting
Richlanders, the Kennewick Berry
Pickers barely nosed out winner
Sunday in the tussle with the
neighbors up the river. The COM
plete score was: Kennewick 5-12-2;
Richland, 4-7-1.
AS indicated, the game was a
close one, the count being tied for
a good portion of the game. Whar-
ter. who did the hurting for the
Berry Pickers, during the first six
innings, showed real class and held
Richland to six hits. He was re-
lieved by Martin Hudnall in the
seventh and from then on the Rich
land pastimers were able to get
but one isolated bingle. Perkins,
the Richland moundsman, was GER
tainly going good and kept the
Kennewick hitters wondering what
it was all about for good share
of the time. Only in the sixth in
ming was the Kennewick offense
able to get underway and bunch
their hits. Even then things looked
bad and except for lone score in
the ninth frame the game would
have gone into extra innings.
Kennewick journeys to White
Bluffs next Sunday to play re-
turn game with the cocky upriver
ball tossers. White Bluffs walked
all over Finley last week and feel
SO sure of themselves that some of
their supporters have been boast
ing that no team outside of the
New York Yankees can furnish
them competition. This little re-
mark has somewhat nettled sever
al of the local baseball enthusiasts
and they are determined to show
the bush leaguers Of the upper val
ley that they are not quite ready
for the American pennant yet.
Kennewick's lineup Sunday was:
Hudnall, 1st; Broughman End;
Boyer, 3rd; Reigle, IS; Wharter,

BAND AGAIN
ORGANIZED
Director has Two Dozen
on His List-Practice
on Tuesday Nights

Kennewick has a band again.
The first rehearsal was held Tues
day night and a dozen or so of
men who had previous band exper-
ience were out to get their lips in
shape again.
While there are more than two
dozen players who are expected to
be in the band in the community
there is still room for more. Clari-
net and alto players are particu-
larly short in the lineup, and if
there are any in this end of the
county whose names are not on the
list, the band will be greatly pleas
ed to get in touch with them.
A director has been selected and
regular meetings will be held each
Tuesday night in the City Cafe
room, next to the Richards-Gest
garage. AS soon as the weather
gets hot the practices and concerts
will be given in the park. 1t is
planned to have series of COM
munity picnic lunches given in the
park this summer and the band
will furnish music for these occa-
sions.
The band will also play for pub
lice celebrations of various kinds,
such as the Fourth of July cele-

TO FIX UP THE
S. p. & S. ROAD
Council Plans Improve.
ment Work-To Install
Traffic Signs

The road to the S. P. & S. de-
pot came in for a little discussion
at the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night of this week. The
city plans to get the county road
scraper as soon as it is available,
to do temporary grading work this
summer. In it's present condition
the road is very rough and num-
erous complaints have been receiv-
ed by the growers from the valley,
who are bringing in big loads OF
grass every day.
In the fall, when the work can
better be done, the city plans to
do some hardsurfacing on this
road. Such work is not practical
during the summer months. The
first work on the little triangle
park was done this week, getting
ready for the paving job to start
soon.
About half of the equipment for
marking the business streets has
been received and as soon as the
remainder gets here, the stop and
caution signs will be installed for
the convenience of traffic.
