OHS GRADUATES 28 SENIORS High school graduates going into the working world must defend the American form of government by using the edu cation they have received in high school. So said Dr. George W Rosenlof, of the University of Nebraska, in the commence ment address for the O’Neill high school seniors held in the high school auditorium hera Tuesday evening at 8 o’clock. Dr. Rosenlof primarily stress ed defense by the graduates of the public school systems, of freedom of worship, of ouf types of homes, all for a better and more unified democracy Secondly, Dr. Rosenlof hit on the need for higher education if it were at all possible. He pointed out that 50 years agq | an eighth grade education was sufficient; 15 years ago a high school education was adequate but today, because of the need for specialists in all fields, it is necessary to have a college education. Llovd Sexton, principal of the school, presented scholar ships to the following: Helen Bowden, regents scholarship University of Nebraska; Marie Fox, Nebraska State Teachers’ colleges; Ivalyn Brady, alter nate regents scholarship and University of Nebraska school of music; Leona Serck, Norfolk Junior college, Norfolk1 Dwayne Borg, Nebraska church colleges. Leona Serclj also received a medal for plac ing eighth in an 80-minuta shorthand test in the National commercial contest sponsored by the Modesto, Calif., Junioi college. 190 schools in 40 states entered competition. Eighth graders also received their diplomas at the joint commencement. Awards were also presented to the “Fair and Square” club This club includes students from the third to eighth grades Each year they elect a mem ber of their class as a “good citizen.” The awards were pre* sented to Leland Snyder, third J[rade; Carol Fredrickson ourth grade; Dean Clyde, fifth grade; Carolyn Moseman, sixth grade; Warren Seger, seventh grade; Margaret Aim, eighth grade; and Tommy Bean, spe cial room. BRING PUMP INTO USE ON SEWER The city has found a tempo rary solution to its sewer prob lem. A pump is being leased to force sewerage from the lower end of the municipal sewer system into the Elkhorn river In recent weeks the mouth of the sewer has been partially clogged and sewerage has backed up into the system, ov erflowing from several man holes and spreading out over a portion of Carney park and other acreages in South O’ Neill. Most of the trouble, city officials say, is attributed to the inadequacy of the sys tem. The installation dates from 1913. Donald Price, of Lincoln, ci ty engineer, made arrange ments for the pump which it being set up on a lease basis The city will have an option tc buy- the pump and turn rental payments onto its pur chase price. Sotpe city officials feel that the measure is strictly tempo rary and ultimately a disposal systtan will have to be install, e# Law prohibits creation of new sewerage outlets ipto Ne braska streamsr Replacement Cattle Values Edge Higher on Atkinson Market — Under urgent demand and light receipts, choice steers sell from $29 to $31.50 a hunredweight at Tuesday's auction; butcher hogs reach ed $20. The largest attendance in over a month plus small re ceipts and an advancing fal cattle market gave stocker and feeder cattle prices a boost at last Tuesday’s auction in At kinson. Muddy roads held re ceipts to a few over 300 head —the lightest since last Sum mer. Although the entire list sold higher than a week ago, the advance was most pronounced on lightweight stockers and feeding cows which looked an other dollar up on top of last week’s sharp advance and now places these two classes within striking distance of all time highs of early last Fall. Lightweight steers from $2C to $31.50 a hundredweight comparable heifers at $24 tc $26 a hundred, heavier weight steers from $22.50 to $25 a hundred and feeding heifers from $21 to $23 a, hundred Feeding cows from $17.50 to $20 a hundred and, butcher bulls from $19 to $20.70 a hun7 dred. i Butcher hogs sold' up to $20 a hundred with heavier weights going between $19 and $19 75 a hundred.
