X ' i T Our Choice for President in 1928 is WALTER W. HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear headed Business Man AMERICANISM. IF any one desires to see an excellent demonstration of what 100 '/c Americanism is he should attend the annual field meet of the public schools of Omaha, which was sponsored and started many years ago by the Omaha World-Herald. This annual event attracts great crowds. Boys and girls from all the schools of Omaha compete on equal terms in these events. For ex ample, on one relay team from one school may be seen a boy of Italian parentage, another of Jewish, another of Bohemian, another of Polish, another of “native” white American, an other of Negro. All American school boys with the best of spirit out to win for their school. Here are boys and girls of all classes, nationalities, religious faiths and colors competing in feats of skill, endurance, speed and strength. Real, genuine, sportsmanship competition, each urging and emulating the other to do his best. When America can reproduce this happy result among all her people then true democracy will reign, strife and discord will cease, all will under stand and respect each other and our country be exalted to that place among nations of the earth which we believe God destines her to attain. Separation and segregation make lor misunder standing and discord, association and helpful contact make for un derstanding, sympathy, concord and mutual respect. This is true Americanism. COMMON LAW MARRIAGES WE read very frequently of some tragedy in which common law marriages figure. Common taw marriages, so-called, are just ordinary adulterous unions. If men and women desire to live together as husband and wife u.e proper thing to do is to be lawfully married. Common law marriages do not giant protec tion to the woman or children and establish an immoral rela tionship which should not exist. Honorable marriage constitutes a safeguard for the family and for the nation. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES IT IS gratifying to note the increase in the number of our boys and girls who will this year graduate from the Omaha high schools. The number is unprecedented. The largest number hitherto graduated at one time was seven. This year rthe number is 23. Technical High school graduates 12; Cent ral 8 and South High 3. This is most gratifying and shows a growing appreciation of the value of education. Many of these too, are planning to go to college. These youth are to be congratulated and their self-sac rificing parents to be commend ed for the encouragement they are giving their children to pre pare themselves for useful ca reers. While these youth are pieparing themselves a duty de volves upon us as a people to pool our interests and develop business enterprises and institu tions which will give employ ment to our ambitious youth when they have completed theif training. Even though doors of opportunity are today in many places closed against our youth this should not thwart our am ‘'oition or discourage our work of preparation. Let us prepare our selves and be ready for the op portunity when it comes. LINCOLN NOTES. Rev. H. W.

In June, 1876, just fifty years ago, nine girls and two boys were handed their diplomas as the first graduating class j of Central. Six members of the j class, all women, now widely scat I tered, survive. The girls were the Misses Esther Jacobs, Nellie Lehmer, Fannie Wilson, Margaret McCague, Bertha Isaacs, Blanche Duel, Addie | Gladstone, Stacia Crowley and Ida ! Goodman. The boys were Alfred Ramsey and Henry Currie. Currie I was a colored boy, the son of one of Omaha’s pioneer barbers. He died i some years ago in Chicago. It is worth remembering that in the first j class to graduate from Central High was a colored youth. Central’s fif tieth class which will be graduated June 12 and which numbers 332 con tains eight colored students, a large decrease in the ratio of the class of ! 1876. UNITED STATES NATIONAL BANK PROMOTES EMPLOYEE - V The United States National Bank, which has a large number of deposi tors from our group, has promoted Nate Hunter, who has been employed as messenger for the past twelve years rendering faithful and depend able service, to the position of special officer with an increased salary and has employed to succeed him as mes | senger, Lovejoy Crawford. Robert Allen has been employed as elevator conductor. This makes three of our ; young men to be employed by the United States National Bank. Mes ■ srs. Crawford and Allen are excellent voung men and there is no doubt but | that they will do their best to g v» entire satisfaction in the positions which have been given them. Promp ness, politeness and dependability up on the part of our people who are given employment in any position ■ will make openings for others. — OMAHA BRANCH N. A. A. (. P. The forum of the N. A. A.
