SCHOOL NOTES.
Uy Clnronco Linton.
The last piece of plnyjjrountl appa
ratus was installed Monday. It was
a slide which has been in constant
use since it was set up by Mr. John
Foltz.
The school exhibit of the various
hand products of the year will be
held Friday, May 8th. A patrons'
meeting will bo held that afternoon
and a speech given by some promi
nent school man on some educational
topic. Watch for further announce
ment. Charles Uiley McCalley and Miss
Kelley have been engaged to give an
entertainment at the school audito
rium Friday evening, May 11. Mr.
McCalley is a reader and entertainer
of high merit and will read form
James Whitcome Hiley Friday even
ing. His selections are accompanied
and interspersed with violin i and
other musical selections. Miss Kel
ley is a Boloist of reputation, and the
combination assures us a very rare
treat. The admission will be U5
cents and 25 cents. The program is
given under the auspices of the play
ground committee. In order to
complete the apparatus as planned it
was necessary to exceed tbo fund
previously raised. It is hoped that
this deficit may be made up by this
program, and we feel confident that
all will be highly satisfied.
The final eighth grade examina
tions will be Thursday and Friday
of this week. Emma Schmidt, Lot
tie Hileman and George Lahrs passed
all subjects at the first writing.
Good marks have been made by
others with a very few exceptions.
This speaks well for Miss Follett's
work, because there has been very
general complaint of the examina
tions this year being too hard for
eighth grade people. The highest
mark in arithmetic in the county
was made by Dorothy Harnett. Her
grade was i)0.
The seniors will bo excused from
class work after this week.
The program for commencement
week follows:
Baccalaureate sermon, Francis J.
Aucock, Sunday, May 115.
Class play, the Elopement of El
len, Tuesday, May 1G.
Dinner for Seniors at home of
Miss Shreiner, Wednesday, May 10.
Commencement address by Hev.
Huber, Thursday, May 17.
Alumni banquet, Saturday, May 17.
Class motto: Don't wait for op
portunity. Make it.
Class colors. Maroon and white.
Class ilower: American Heauty.
A scholarsip to Nebraska colleges,
granting $25 of tuition free for each
of four years was awarded to Mar
guerite Schriever. '
The graduating class was fortu
nate in securing Hev. Huber, of Trin
ity Lutheran church of Sioux City,
to give the commencement address.
The exercises will bo given at the
M. E. church.
The junior-senior banquet was held
Wednesday evening of last week at
the home of Miss Lola Heikes. In
dividual favors of red and white
roses, which were the class colors,
marked the places. A four course
dinner was served in which the col
ore were cleverly carried out. The
clusa voted the juniors royal enter
tainers. The Seniors,

Ed Morgan, spent Sunday at the
parental home. He will graduate

Soldiers' Letters
From Harold Antrim to his moth
er, Mrs. Chas. Antrim.
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., May 3, '17.
Dear mother: I have not received
your letter, but thought I would
start writing so I would not have so
much to write about when I do. We
have been in California now a week
and one day, and think as much of
it now as we did when we first came.
We are getting along just fine. We
are real soldiers now, and know how
to march, turn all corners, and how
to handle our guns so well that they
are going to put us to guarding the
batteries, the big guns, the guard
house, and things like that. When
on guard we are supplied with a gun
and amunition, and if a fellow comes
along we are supposed to tell him to
stop and if he don't do it we are
supposed to use our rifle. I guess
we don't need to worry as nothing
of the kind has happened for a long
time. Wc will not have to drill
now except when we change guard
and go out for parade.
Our guns weigh about eight
pounds, but that is nothing to what
the big 12-inch guns weigh. It took
all of us that could get around it to
move a shell about ten feet it
weighed 1050 pounds. We were all
excited and wanted to get our guns
when they took two German prison
ers past us today. They have over
80 of them in prison on Angel Island,
about two miles from us. We all
like soldier life fine. We have a fine
sergeant. Everybody is good to us
and tell us things we want to know,
and show us how to make our beds
for inspection and fold our clothes.
The most important thing is to keep
clean. We have inspection every
week, and must keep our guns, belts
and bayonets shining all the time.
We get a lot of clothes will name
some of them: A blue dress suit
and dress cap, two service suits and
a service hat, five suits of underwear,
nine pairs of socks, three pair of
white gloves and one pair of leather
gloves, two pair of shoes, two suits
or work clothes and two work hats,
one suit made of stuff like us scouts
had, they are for working,, and a lot
of other things. We get fed just as
good as we did the first day we ar
rived here. We are all in the same
company except Melford Lothrop
and Isaac Cooley, but they are only
about two blocks away and we see
therrf every day. The rest of us get
to eat at the same table and sleep
in the same room, and we sure do
have a good time. The lights go
out at 9 o'clock up stairs and at 11
down stairs, but we have to quit
playing the victrola at 9. We have

Dear Mother, Father and Brother:
We received your welcome letter
and were glad to hear what little
vou had to saw
I think you had
better keep your
more paper so
stamps and buy
you can write
more.
We have Saturday afternoons and
and Sundays off. This morning we
had inspection of rifles, wall lockers,
foot lockers and our bunks. I have
heard that some of the fellows say
that we were the best bunch of
boys that came here so far. We in
tend to go to the Golden Gate park
tomorrow, it is just a mile from
here, and they say it is a swell place.
I was at Frisco last night and the
night before.
We have supper at 5:30. It seems
funny to look up at the clock and
see it 6 o'clock here and it is 8 o'clock
at Dakota City. There is two hours
difference here and it was one hour
different at Ft. Logan.
Emil did not say what part of the

From Melford Lothrop to Raymond
Ream:
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr. 28, '17
Dear Raymond: We got in here
Sunday morning. We are separated
again, but wo see each other every
night. We have an easy time of it,
only have to drill 3 hours a day and
the rest of the time we can do as we
wish. After retreat I usually go
over and see the other boys, and we
go out and see the country. We
can see many of the large buildings
in San Francisco from the fort. It
is certainly fine out here, but it is
so hot that it makes a person feel
lazy.
I received my gun yesterday and
have drilled with it twice. It is sure
some job carrying it around, as it
weighs 8.G5 pounds. Wilfred Kinkle
went to Frisco the other night and
saw a genuine Chinaman and he is
still talking about it.

I got my cold when we had to stand
in the snow and water at Ft. Logan
all morning to draw what little
clothes we got there, and they are
worthless down here.
I am figuring on going to Frisco
after pay day and have my picture
taken, and will sure send you one.
This army life is sure a great thing.
I was over to see Isaac Cooley last
night and I hardly knew him with
his uniform on.
Will close for this time. Tell all
all the rest hello.
