NEW YORK. May 9.-The stock
market made little Roadway dur
ing the morning trading today
despite the rise in speculative senti-
ment engendered by last weeks
recovery.
Prices of most Of the leaders held
within a fractional range OF the
previous closing levels with the tone
Of { he market changing from
strength to weakness frequently.
Around noon gains and losses
weer about evenly divided With no
individual group standing out on
either side OF the market. Deal
ings were extremely light, large
traders apparently awaiting to see
the character Of buying on the set
back before resuming their buying
operations OF last week.

 Night

 OFFICER ELECTED
Mrs. Alice CoughHn First President Home
 coming Event

The largest crowd in many years thronged the Douglas High School Auditorium last night to be pres ent at the Alumni Homecoming Reception and Rally. Visitors viewed with much interest the historical display of pictures and souvenirs dating from 1902, the year marking the establishment of the present school; down to 1882.
 After greetings at the main portal' by Andrew "Dutchy' Mar tin, janitor for many years, the visitors collected in the auditor ium for the program. Mrs. Flora Kirkham, Director of the School Board, gave a welcome on behalf of the beard.
 Roll call of the Alumni, by classes was announced by Felix Gray, clerk William Feero, Treas urer, escorted the graduates to the stage and decorated them with purple and gold alumni badges. When the Alumni were all seated on the stage, the student body of the Douglas High School gave three cheers for them and the Glee Club sang Hail, Hail.
 Alumni Welcomed
 In a welcome to the Alumni, Superintendent O. H. Bowman de- clared that a third of a century the length of life Of the Douglas school, is a long time and because of his recent coming to Douglas. he did not feel it appropriate for him to voice welcome. Neverthe- less he bid the Alumni a hearty welcome.
 Alice Bach Coughlin, member of the Class of 1910, was unani- mously chosen first President of the D. H S. Alumni Association. She was presented with a large purple and gold key by John Feusi, Douglas Mayor, and made a grace ful speech of acceptance of the honor.
 In closing, everyone joined in singing, Aud Lang Syne,7 led by Miss Pimperton. After adjourn ment, coffee and cake were served to those present.
