No Visiting Night
We are sorry that visiting night
could not be scheduled. The rush
of year-end events made it neces-
sary to omit this. The grades
have had some splendid work on
display.
Al of the grades and high
school enjoyed the annual picnics
last week. We wish to thank the
citizens for the very generous do
nation of cars and trucks.
Gertrude Cusker won the Lin
coin contest. Her topic was Lin
coin and the Slavery Question. A
gold medal will be presented to
her.
The chief glory of an institution
is not splendid buildings and amp
1e endowment, nor even a learned
faculty, but a body of alumni
whose training enables and impels
them to take an active and i'm
portant part in the Worlds work.
Next week we shall send out the
class of '29. We wish them a
successful future. Their success
is the criterion of success for the
Wolf Point school which has grad
uated them. Not quantity, but
quality"is the motto of u school.
II. S. Party Successful
That the junior class of Wolf
Point high school are ideal enter
tainers was plainly shown at the
Junior Prom. 1t was a gala event
to say the least and everything
was done by the hosts to make the
party a most enjoyable one. The
tables and palm room were beau
tifully decorated. 1t vas by far
the neatest and best job of decor
ating ever attempted in the palm
room and reflected much credit
upon the class.
Lunch was served to the merry
dancers and its quality was attest
ed to by those present, who pro
nOunced it par excellence.
The gowns worn by the young
ladies were dainty and also added
color to the affair. Without exag-
geration, we will say that the girls
all looked so pretty that the boys
could select partners at will, as
all made a fine appearance upon
the dance floor.
Added to all the above, a feel
.ng of good fellowship prevailed,
and thus all present had a most
delightful time, and the Seniors
IS well as all others, voted the
went a grand success and are
.oud in their praise of the junior
class for the very enjoyable even
ing.
The banquet vas excellent. Miss
class advisor, and Wilfred
GIFTS, class president, deserve much
credit for their leadership.
The doorkeeper even gave out
comps to the Bridge Gang" How
ever, some of them whispered the
password, whist"
Memorial Day
The holy day of heroes-let us
greet it
With rain of blooms on every
soldiers grave,
With hearts that utter, ere our
lips repeat it,
The sacred cry Of Glory to the
Brave!
