NO. 32 2 be X Baccalaureate Services Held Sunday Night Presbyterian Church Filled to Ca pacity by Audience to Hear Sermon by Rev. Troy. The baccalaureate services of the Plattsmouth high school for the year 1S'31 were held on Sunday evening at the First Presbyterian cburch and with the church decorated and ar ranged n a very beautiful manner for the event that was to mean so much to the members of the class of 1931 which is soon to leave the high school. The members of the junior class served as ushers of the occasion and assisted in the seating of the congre gation. At 8 o'clock the processional was played by E. H. Wescoti anjd to which the members of the senior class with their advisers entered the church and were escorted to seats at the front of the church, set aside as a place of honor to the graduates. The invocation was cffced by Rpv. O. G. Wichmann. pastor of the St. Paul's Evangelical church, while the scripture lesson and the prayer was offered by Rev. H. G. McClusky. pas tor of the First Presbyterian church. The musical program was in charge of the choir of the First Methodist church and undtr the di rection of Mrs. E. H. Wescott, choir leader. The large choir gave two very beautiful selections preceding and fol lowing the sermon of the evening. "Come Unto Me." by Schubert and "Now the Day Is Over," by Shallery. both being presented most impress ively. The Rev. C. O. Troy, pastor of the Methodist church gave the sermon and as his subject tooK the word of Holy writ, "What Shall it Profit a Man If He Gains the Whole World and Loses His Soul." The sermon was one of great beauty and present ed very ably by the pastor, bringing home the discussion of success or fail ure of the measuring of life by the standards of spiritual or material tri umphs. The services following Uu close of the sermon were interfered with to a great extent by the fact the fuses blowing out caused the lights to fade out and some little time to replace the fuses. The class of 1931 feels very grate ful to Rev. Troy, Rev. Wichmann and Rev. McClusky for their services in making the event a success as well as to Mr. and Mrs. Wescott and the choir. The seniors are also grate ful to the juniors for assisting in the services.

The accident occurred at a time when a large nunc bet' were on the streets and a great deal of traffic and the little lad who had come down to the business section of the city, ran from the mother and started to cross over Main street ai.d success fully passed the first line of traffic when a car coming from the west apparently startled the lad and he started to run east in the same di rection of the car and before the driver of the car could get the auto at a stop the child had been struck and knocked down but fortunately the wheels of the car did not pass over the little one. Tiie car that struck the lad was driven by Fred Carroll. Co. I, Seventeenth infantry of Fort Crook, who had come to town from the rifle range. The injured lad was hurried to the office of Dr. E. J. Gillespie in the Thierolf building and he was bleed ing very profusely from a cut on the hack of the head and seemed to be suffering from internal injuries. It was found that two ribs were frac tured and the shoulder quite badly bruised and the cut on the head re quired two stitches to close, in order to prevent the flow of blood. The lad was later taken to On aha where an x-ray was taken Of the injuries and it was found that the skull of the boy was not fractured. The little one is doing very nicely today and while in some pain is bearing his trial with fortitude and courage. The driver of the car was not at fault in the accident and stopped his car which was going at a slow rate of speed at the time, within three feet of the accident. While not drunk some liquor was found in the car and the young man held and later turned over to the officers of his company for their action.
