The O’Neill Lions Club celebrated
their “Charter Night” Tuesday even
ing at the K. C. hall at a seven
o’clock banqquet, followed by a dance
in the opera house.
The rooms were tastily decorated
with purple and gold—the Lions In
ternational colors, and with plants
and flowers. Covers were laid for
one hundred and twenty-five at the
banquet. Each Lion and Lioness and
all guests wore a Lions hat; balloon
and noise makers were in evidence
in all parts of the banquet hall; the
“tail twister,” whose privilege it is
to collect fines for real and imagin
ary offenses, caused considerable
merriment; Lion Dr. Allerton, of
Tilden, contributed his share of the
amusement as assistant “tail twist
er” and also gave a short address as
a visiting Lion.
Mrs. J. M. Davis, the wife of the
Lion District Governor, accompanied
her husband to O’Neill and was a
guest at the banquet.
The vocal solo by Lioness Mrs.
George Agnes, accompanied by Mrs.
H. J. Reardon, and the violin selec
tion by “Cub” Burdette Miller, were
well rendered.

THE FRONTIER CROSSES
THE FIFTIETH MERIDIAN
With this issue The Frontier
1 crosses the half century mark and
[starts on a new year. Fifty years
ago W. D. Mathews started The
; Frontier in O’Neill when the town
1 and surrounding country was new
and sparsely settled. Running a
newspaper in a new country is an
up-hill business, but its founder
‘‘stuck’’ through those hard years and
laid the foundation of a sturdy news
paper that has performed a specific
mission year after year and now en
joys the largest circulation of any
paper in the county. Dennis II. Cron
in and Clyde King purchased The
Frontier from Mr. Mathews in 1892
and six years later Mr. Cronin pur
chased Mr. King’s interest and has
been the sole owner for the past
thirty-two years.
The Frontier has always enjoyed a
good business; it’s aim has always
been to give the news to its readers
while it was news. The Frontier en
deavors at all times to publish only
the facts; it has always made it a
point to discard anything that could
not be verified.
The management of The Frontier
wishes to thank the people for the
encouragement they have given it in
the past and trust that we may be
able to continue to merit your future
patronage and good will.
The following letter from W. D.
Mathews will be of interest to the
! old timers who were acquainted with
I him:
Memphis, Term., May 22, 1930
Editor The Frontier:
According to your date line you
. this week close the fiftieth year* of
' the founding of The Frontier, and
naturally you will all feel pretty
chesty. However, it is not quite full
I fifty years since I got out number
one of volume one, according to cal
endar figuring. I think I landed in
O’Neill about the middle of July, and
the first issue saluted the world soon
thereafter. By the way, the thought
occurred to me that it would be a
fine thing for me to visit the old
town, and as a compliment give a
i little banquet to those who still live
within the confines of the town, but
I stop short when I realize ' that it
would be a mighty slim banquet.
With pencil in hand, I got ready to
make out the list of prospective
guests, wondering if the expense
would be too great for my pocket
book. I was astounded. Where are
the fellows of then? Who were they?
Alas, after putting down the nahtes
of Charlie Millard and Howell Uttley
I had to stop short. Only two to join
me in the feast. Of course I might
catch Sanford Parker up fromOmaha
and use him, with pleasure. And
there is Denny Cronin, the little
broth of a b’ye who delivered milk at
our house—yea, now U. S. Marshal
and owner of my old Frontier. Is the
list complete? Can recall no more,
unless I went outside of the town.
Guess I will forego the trip. It
would bb too sad—fruitful of more
I tears than smiles.
But here are my sincere felicita
tions to you of the paper and the
town, county and state.
With a smile for all.
«, Truly,
W. D. MATHEWS

CLASS HISTORY OF 1930 OF
THE O’NEILL PUBLIC SCHOOL
Our high school days are soon pass
ed and gone and as we look back over
the years, we recall the many joys
we have experienced. During our
journey through school there have
been many additions to our class and
many have fallen by the way. Only
seven members are now left who
started together in the Primary,
namely, Roberta Brittell, Grace Han
cock, Pearl Clevish, Anita Liddy,
Tommy Tompson, Edgerton Haskins,
and Lloyd Davidson. Now there are
42 of us.
Y'ear after year, one by one, they
enrolled in our school class. In the
Seventh grade, Verna Clyde, Bruce
Rummel apd Austin Shreiner joined
our ranks and in the Eighth grade
our number increased by the uddition
of five more; they were Violet Ros
eler, Nellie Toy, Stella Van Every,
Dorothy Y'oungkin and Albert Rum
mel.
When we started High School we
added to our list Twila Bradley, Eula
Cole, Bessie Fuller, Mildred Gran
dorff, Agnes Knapp, Ruth Morrow,
Cleta Murray, Gurna Oppen, Grace
W’elch, Clyde Burge, Robert Fox,
Levi Fuller, Edwin Getscher, Charles
Green, Dick Robertson and Harold
Sexsmith.
In the Tenth grade, a few more
were added, these being Margaret
Cuddy, Marie Grutsch, Elwin Grutsch
and in the second semester, Leta
Johnson.
Wre completed our class of forty
tWo in the Eleventh grade by adding
I seven more, Vivian Eidenmiller, Hel
en Givens; Laurel Hough, ExLaura
! McDonough, Julian Rummel, Harold
I Shoemaker and Howard Medlen.
In the Ninth grade we had Miss
: Munson for our class sponsor. Our
1 class officers were Atlee Graves,
President; Bruce Rummel, V.-Pres.;
I Faye Rouse was elected Secretary
| and Treasurer, but she soon left here
so we elected Lois Brentson.
In the Tenth grade we had Miss
Beighly for sponsor. The class offi
cers that year were, Bruce Rummel,
President; Ralph Tomlinson, V.-Pres
ident; Gurna Oppen, Secretary and
Agnes Knapp, Treasurer.
In the Eleventh grade, we again
had Miss Beighly as sponsor. The
class officers that year were Grace
Hancock, President; Gurna Oppen,
Vice-President and Anita Liddy, Sec
retary and Treasurer.
Now the Twelfth and our last year
we have Miss Kraemer for sponsor
and our class officers are Grace Han
cock, President; Bruce Runimel, V.
President and Anita Liddy, Secre
tary and Treasurer.
We will now return to sonic of the
| events that happened to us in our
Freshman year.
After much excitement and worry
over registration and the like, we
were entered as Freshmen and start
ed on our road to success. After run
ning from one room to another trying
to learn what studies we were sup
posed to take, we settled down to busi
ness, some well satisfied, while others
were feeling sorry that they had ever
gone into High School.
After we became acquainted with
I the teachers, we found that they were
I not to be feared as much as we
thought. As we look back now, we
! appreciate their guidance and we
I realize how much their patience and
efforts in our behalf mean to us.
In our effort to supply the trade
with the best Foods obtainable, we
have added to our already com
plete line of staple and fancy Gro
ceries, a department of /

Warner & Sons
Even when they gave us 30’s and 40’s
on our examination papers when we
thought we should have received 96,
we have never wavered in our ad
miration of them, one and all.
With what difference next year we
entered as proud Sophomores to that
of the preceding year as a bashful
and timid Freshman. There came in
to the High School that year a great
number of Freshmen whose green
ness could never he described.
As we entered the Junior class we
realized we were one step nearer oar
goal. We gave only the most pitying
glances as the poor Freshmen came
into the Assembly.
Never were we any prouder as we
entered the High School as Seniors.
We looked neither to the right, nor to
the left, as with dignified steps we
took our places for the last time that
would place us “Out Of School Life
And Into Life's School.”
Our Senior page of history is near
the close. It would take a book to
write the history of this year.
Now we, the Class of “’30” stand
at the portal where the door swings
outward to the varied and many
paths of life. Our History now' cannot
be written by any one of us, but by
our characters and our individual
lives.
