Seta. State Historical Society S3KSS3 EST VOL. No. XLVI PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1930. NO. 23 plattemoiatb Journal f w m Dedicatory Ceremonies on High Plateau Committee Selects Site Just West of Bridge and Overlooking Struc ture and the Biver. The high ground lying just west of the new Missouri river bridge and around which passes the winding drive as one leaves the bridge on the Nebraska side, has been selected as the site for holding the dedicatory program on the afternoon of Friday, May 16th. This large plateau-like plat of ground is of sufficient size to accommodate several thousand peo ple and is reached by an easy slope along the east. So near to the bridge itself Is this site that the bottle of milk President Wescott plans to have used for ehrist- tening the structure due to the great dearth of champaign, can almost be broken over the mass of steel from the speakers' stand that will be erected there. Another thing that induced the committee tc choose this site as the Lest available place for holding the ceremonies is the fact that there on the brow of this hill lie the ruins of some early homes inhabitated in the days when steamboats were common sites along the river far below and no bridge spanned the Big Muddy. It is probable some public address equipment will be installed, so that everyone may hear plainly the ad dress of Governor Weaver and other notables who will be present at the dedication. Arrangements are being made for ample parking facilities on the Iowa side of the river, where visitors may leave their cars with safety in a guarded parking lot. This will en able the visitors to walk across the new bridge and inspect it while on their way to the program. The parade of decorated cars and floats starting from the business sec tion of Plattsniouth at 1:45, will be led by the 17th Infantry band and will drive over the new Livingston road, on which guard rail Is now be ing placed after considerable delay . an the part of the contractor having this part of the work. The bridge will be toll free thru out the day and evening to permit the greatest intermingling of Iowans and Nebraskans, and in the evening a public dance will be given at the Legion community building. The day's events properly begin with the complimentary noon-day luncheon at the Legion building, at which plates will be laid for 200 or more guests. Among those present as guests will be all the prominent Iowa and Nebraska officials, includ ing Governor Weaver and a personal representative of Governor Hammill, mayors of cities east and west for a distance of several hundred miles, newspaper editors of all southeastern Nebraska and southwestern Iowa, as well as publishers in the larger towns east to Burlington and west to Mc Cook. There are sixty in this latter class alone. The committees are actively work ing out plans to make this one of the biggest celebrations in Plattsmouth in a good many years and one befit ting the occasion namely, the join ing together of Iowa and Nebraska by a means of year-round travel that will permit the widest acquaintance with our near-by yet formerly far removed neighbors to the east.

The American Legion community building was the scene of the event and for the occasion the juniors had transformed the hall into a fairyland of rainbow hues, the central part of the large hall being arranged in the form of an enclosed banquet hall, tTie bright array of rainbow hues in crepe paper being used in making the walls and ceiling of the room and the lights softly shaded with the shades of violet, pink, green and yellow to add a very effectiv touch to the scene of happiness and joy as the young people gathered around the festive board. The place cards and menus carried out the rainbow idea while the centerpieces of the beauti ful Ophelia roses also added their beauty to the scene. The banquet was prepared and served by the ladies of the Q. Z. so ciety of the Presbyterian church and was a repast that left nothing to be desired by the young people in this feature of the evening. The menu was as follows: Ice-Junior-Senior Special Chicken a la King in Rosettes Potatoes a la Duchess Buttered Peas in Ramekins Pot of Gold Marmalade Clover Leaf Rolls Radishes - - Olives ' Iridescent Salad with Whipped Cream Mayonnaise Wafers Rainbow Bombe Glace Fruited Angel Food - Coffee Nuts - - Mints During the banquet the Herb Smith orchestra of Lincoln gave a very fine program of the popular mu sic that kept the spirits of the mem bers of the banquet party at their highest pitch and proved one of the most popular settings that the junior senior banquet has enjoyed in many years. As the delights of the menu passed by the role of toastmaster was taken by James Begley, Jr., of the Junior class and who in this role was very clever and his introductions of the various numbers on the toast list proved a real feature of the evening. The arrangement of the toast list followed the sequence of the rain bow with the storms of freshmen days to the pot of gold at the rainbow's end and in which the members of the various classes were heard. "Squalls" was the subject of the J clever remarks given by Miss Xsacune Cloidt of the freshman class and which opened the ow of wit an"3 school day memories that followed. "After the Rain," the clearing days of sophomore life, was the subject of Edward Wehrbein of this class and, who presented the viewpoint of the school life from the sophomore class. The Junior class of the school was very ably represented by Richard Spangler in his fine remarks in which the speaker paid tribute to the asso ciates of the senior class with whom the Juniors have been associated in the three years of their school career. Mr. L. L. Starrett of tne nign school faculty gave a very delightful vocal number to add to the many in teresting speeches of the evening, l Thinir nf Thee Sweet Marguerite," by Helmund, being the song selected by Mr. Starrett. The seniors bade their farewell in The Pot of Gold." in which Robert Livingston of this class was heard in a very able discussion of the school dav life and the feelings of tne members of the senior class that are soon to depart from the doors of their alma mater for the last time as students. The "Blending of the Colors" was the theme of the eloquent and able address delivered by Robert Foster Patterson. .TirinciDal of the high school and was presented in the force ful manner of this gifted speaKer, presenting the urge of the life that is awaiting the young men and women of the school in the wrorld in which they are soon to be potent and active figures. Mr. Patterson's remarks also touched on many interesting stories of the school life and of the members of the senior class. The greetings of the board of edu cation were brought to the members of the two classes in the remarks of Dr. Frank L. Cummins, president of the board of education, "Rainbows Ahead." At the close of the speaking por tion of the program the school mem bers turned the building over to the members of Cass Chapter of the De Molay who staged a very delightful dancing party and for which the Herb Smith orchestra furnished the music. It would be hardly fair in the ban quet to emit the mention of those who made the event possible and to make it such an outstanding event and chief among these is Carl Cun ningham, sponsor of the juniors and who with his class worked long and hard in the preparation of the de tails of the banquet. Mr. Cunning ham proved a real genius in hand ling the affair and had wonderful as sistance from the members of the junior class and who can feel well pleased over the event. The decorations of the banquet hall and the cleverly arranged lounging rooms for f both the ladies and gentlemen were arranged and prepared by the committee of which Patricia Ferrie was the chairman and comprising Constance Rea, Paul Iver son, Marie Lutz and Vestetta Robert son with Mr. Cunningham and also Hillard Grassman assisting.
