passed to the beyond or are still alive
to bless the homes.

Kire Chief Steals Marclii
And still another of the well-liked
young men of Alliance has fallen to
the snares of Cupid, when on Thurs
day, May 4, Leonard E. Pllklngton
was married to Miss Ruth M. Leon
ard, at University Tlace. at the home
of her grandparents, Rev. and Mrs.
James Leonard, the grandfather of
the bride performing the ceremony.
When "Fllk" left Alliance for a few
days, many of his friends surmised

still surprised when he returned

wedding was a quiet affair from all
reports, the Intimate friends and rel
atives witnessing the ceremony. On
Friday morning the fire "laddies"
became aware of the fact that the
couple were at the Alliance hotel, so
Jumping onto the automobile fire
truck, to the back of which they had
fastened a hose cart, they assailed
the quarters, and obediently Mr. and
Mrs. Pllklngton. appeared and were
graciously treated to a ride up Box
Butte avenue on the hose cart. The
reception seemed to be enjoyed as
much by the honored ones as by the
onlookers. The bride Is well known
here, having up until the last few
weeks lived In Alliance, and while
residing here made many friends who
are pleased to welcome her back
again. She is an accomplished mu
sician, having held the position of
organist at St. Matthews church pre
vious to her departure for Lincoln.
Aside from having a pleasing dispos
ition, she is capable of making for
her husband a well-kept and enjoya
ble home. "Pllk" holds the honor
ed position of chief of the Alliance
fire department, and we know of no
man In town who does not respect
him and feel his acquaintance well
worth while. To say that he is pop
ular among his department and also
outside friends is not putting It any
too strong. The best wishes of all
are extended the happy couple for
many years of wedded bliss. We un
derstand they have already set up
housekeeping on Niobrara avenue, in
the house In which she formerly lived
with her parents before leaving for
Lincoln.

joyed It Immensely.
E. CATHERINE MOORE-Phone 340 Vsm
It was an invitational affair and
the program was rendered in two
parts, the first being a play entitled
"The Roman School." which was pre
sented by the members of the Cicero
and Caesar classes, and the second
part a dramatization of Virgil's
Aenead, the story of Dido and Ae
neas. The Roman School was a series of
performances such as one might see
on visiting a school any day. Lestei
Harvey, as the "Maglster" conducted
a lesson in grammar. This wan fol
lowed by the speaking of nieces and
the Geography lesson. Then the
class sang the song "Onward Chn
tlan Soldiers" In Latin. Then came
a contest In oration wrltina between
Marcus Tulllus (John Wright) and
Gaius Julius Caesar (Homer
Barnes). The Judges were unable to
decide so they drew lots, and Caesar
was declared victorious. This occas
ioned a heated discussion in Latin
between the two contestants. The
last number of the first part was a
recitation by Oral Harvey, a student
just returned from Rhodes.
This performance was given en
tirely In Latin, but with the prelim
inary explanation given to the audi
ence by Superintendent Tate, and
the clever acting of the students
made It exceptionally Interesting.
The dramatization of Virgil's
Anead, which followed by the mem
bers of the Virgil class was exceed
ingly clever. It was of more than
ordinary Interest from the fact that
adaptation from the original poem In
Latin was written by Miss Hannah
Cotant, a member of the class, and
the students participating worked
out their Individual parts without
any outside assistance or suggestion.
The students participating In the
Roman School were Lester Harvey,
Addle Workman. Naomi Slaughter.
Ethel Clary, Charles SIsley, Oral Har
vey, John Wright. Mabel Grassman.
Tressa Vandervoort, Teresa Morrow,
Homer Barnes, Boyd Hamilton, Jean-
nette Haney, Kate Anderson, Esther
Nation, Annie Reeves, Vera Nicolal.
Dora White and Lucille Fawcett.
In the play by the Virgil class the
characters were as follows: reader,
Hannah Cotant; Dido, Edna Bowman
and Marian Grebe, a Phoenician
queen; Aeneas, Marian Mote, a Tro
jan hero; Mercury, Dolly White and
Edna Bowman, a messenger of the
gods; Anna, Helen Schott, a sister to
Dido; and Iarbas, Dolly White, a
Gaetullan prince,
