The Frontier. VOLUME l7 O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1929. NO. 2. t-~7 ' Dear Patrons of the 4 Royal Theatre: Before buying mv sound equipment I asked for a quotation on price. It was so great it stag gered me and I was months in making up my mind. Many times I decided I couldn’t take the risk with no lease on the building after November 1st. But the more I thought about it the stronger grew my con victions that the people of O’Neill and vicinity were just as appreciative as those in other cities and that you would give me your moral support and stand by me in bringing to you the greatest achievement of all times, the Talking Pictures. I await your judg ment and hope I may be given the support of O’Neill and community by your regular attendance at the Royal. P. S. Just received a wire that the engineer would be here Tuesday to start installation. If all goes well we will open Sunday, June 16th with the Vitaphone production Richard Barthelmess in “Weary River.” Watch paper for further an nouncement. Sincerely, GEORGIA O. RASLEY ST. MARY’S COMMENCE MENT EXERCISES This year for the first time a St. Mary’s graduating class held its Commencement exercises in St. Pat rick’s Church.

Father Leahy and sev eral visiting priests assisted the Bishop in the evening’s ceremonies. A scholarship to St. Theresa's Col lege at Winona, Minnesota, also a four year scholarship to any State Teachers’ College in Nebraska were awarded to Earlean Dedlow; one to St. Catherine's College at St. Paul, Minnesota was won by Anna Langer, and John McCarthy was the fortu nate winner of the scholarship to Creighton University, presented by the Right Reverend Monsignor Cas sidy.

Henry passed away at his home in O’Neill at 9:30 o’clock Wednesday morning following an in jury to his upper lip on Friday, May 24th, from which erysipelas devel oped; the kidneys became con jested and all hopes for his recovery were abandoned several days before his death. Dr. R. N. Larimer, an inter nal medical specialist of Sioux City and a special nurse arrived Monday; the specialist advised the family that there was no hope for recovery for Mr. Henry but that Dr. Carter who had charge of the case, and Dr. Gilli gan who was called in consultation last Saturday, were doing and had done everything that could be done for him. The nurse remained at his bedside until he passed away, as did also Mrs. Dean Selah who al so is a nurse. He was given every care possible but nothing could be done to stay the hand of death. The injury to his lip occurred some time Friday, May 24th, while work ing around the linotype machine in the Frontier office. Little attention was given to it at the time. The following morning he was too ill to come to the office; his condition grad ually grew more serious until the end. He and his family moved front itear what used to be the Disney post office, to O'Neill in 1911. He began working at once for the McGinnis Creamery as engineer which position he held for about three years. Mr. Henry began working in the Frontier office in February 1914 an-,: has been a constant employee sined that time. He was a faithful work man, always on the job and did his work well; the editor will miss him. Our association with him since com ing on the Frontier seven years ago, has been most pleasant; he was a man who had little to say about any one—and that little was always good. Mr. Henry took an active interest in the promotion of the O’Neill Band and was almost wholly responsible for its existance; many times, during the past fifteen years he assisted it over periods of suppression. He was a man who took an active part in the promotion of church, lodge and band activities, looking toward the better ment and social side of the communi i ty. .

St. Mary’s Sen ior Class presented a very clever and interesting class day program. The first number was a playlet in which the modern girl graduate was compared with the old fashioned girl. This dramatization proved that in many respects the girl of 1929 has the decided advantage. “Miss 80’s”i was charmingly portrayed by Nellie i Whiting, and Mildred Agnes, Mabel Hendrick and Bernadette Galligan were lovely frail old-fashioned ladies. Then came the class of 1929 to pre | sent the following program, j Prologue . The Alumnae Grand March de Concert _ Thelma Riley Salutatory John McCarthy Chorus “Sundown”. Ira B.
