717 H e consensus of
opinion is that the
commencement ex-
ercises on Monday
- evening were about
the peak of all such affairs.
Families and friends were
there to see the final obligation
of the Glass of 1943 as a whole.
Even then there were five who
could not attend because of an
obligation elsewhere. 1t was
a large class and the girls and
boys, proud of their achieve
ments, came to the parting of
the ways with thoughts of the
yesterdays and some regret
that the time together for the
past twelve years was over.
DR.. Frederick Brown Harris,
of Washington, whose subject
was "Your Rendezvous With
Life" gave the grads some fine
advice about making the most
Of the days, and telling them of
the Importance of the quality
of contentment. His congratu-
lations to Lucy Rumpstich and
Adele Warren for their ad-
dresses was pleasing to their
parents and friends. Already
some of the boys have had to
take their first steps for en-
trance into the service of their
country. and the girls will have
a part in it too, no doubt.
Whatever occupies these chill
dren of this community, the
best wishes for happiness and
luck will follow them. Here is
a very special good wish for
the members of the Glass of
'43!

Donation Day at Memorial
Hospital was a very satisfac-
3 tory anniversary for gifts of
many kinds, suitable to the
needs of the institution, were
received, and to those who gave
must come the satisfaction of
having done a very helpful
thing. Canned goods, soaps,
cleaners, cereals, materials,
fruits. a bed lamp and the very
munificent sum of $317.75 was
received. The Ladies Auxiliary
is deeply grateful for all of
these things and takes this
medium of saying so.

The Junior Prom, that annual
lovely affair, enjoyed by all
who attend, was given on Tues
day evening in the High School
auditorium. The members of
the graduating class were the
honored guests and had a won
derful time. Green and yell
low crepe paper stripe had
been arranged to form a can
Opy to the dancing floor and it
was also used to make a lobby
in the back of the auditorium
where the patrons and patron
esses sat during the evening.
The music was very good and
the good time was general.
Miss Margaret Williams enter
tanned a group at buffet supper.
Miss Evelyn Short, Miss Eliza
beth Ann Houston and Miss
Frances McNatt were inter-
mission hostesses. There were
others, likely, entertaining.
These came to the writer's
notice. One of the delightful
features about the evening was
the very mild weather and the
beautiful moon. These had a
contributing factor to the fun,
for between the dances the
dancers could go outside. Jun
ior Proms are lovely affairs,
participated in by all high
schools and one of their yearly
high lights.
