The first part of the picture deals with the temptation in the Garden of L'den, when Satan appears in the form of a scrpr-nt, tempting Adam and Eve, who are then driven from the Garden of Eden across a desert waste to rear a race of men doomed to suffer "Eter nal Woe." Succeeding episodes deal with the betrayal of Christ by Judas, the crucifixion, burial and resurrec tion. These events are portrayed with such dignity that the most critical are p?oaccd. The middle ages form the back ground for the machinations of Satan. He invades the sacred precincts of a monastery, corrupting its inmates with the lure of gold.

The class of 1917 of the Platts mouth high school last evening at the Parmele theatre completed the ast step in their four vyears in the high school, w-hen they stepped forth upon the stage as graduates and laid behind them the happy, care free school days, to prepare for their en counter with the world in which they will henceforth have a vital part to perform. It was a pleasing sight with the thirty-seven young people seated on the stage in cap and gown and each adorned with the red roses, which had been chosen as the flower of the class, and each of the class representing the efforts of the four years' course of study. The Plattsmouth high school can well feel proud of the class of 1917, representing as it does the best of the young manhood and womanhood of the city, who have striven so ear nestly in their work that success might crown their efforts in complet ing their education. Eight young men and twenty-nine young ladies comprised the class, as follows: Anna Josephine Weber, E. Glenn Elliott, Edna M. Tulene, Will II. Schmidtmann, Anna A. IIib?r, Ruby M. Winscott, C. Burde'.te Briggs, Ira Frances Crook, Joseph G McMaken, Helen Livingston, Cather ine Bintner, Alpha Victoria Hi 11- strom, Ruth Elizabeth Mann, Kath erine J. Gorder, Ida Tschirren. Flor ence M.

Fa.a sek, Irene Truscott, Mina Katfenbcr- ger. The invocation was pronounced by Rev. T. A. Truscott as the audie; ce which filled the theatre to its utmost capacity stood to have the blessing uf the Divine Ruler called down upon the occasion. Miss Delia Frans, one of the gifie members of the class, opened U.e p o gram with a most pleasing piano sl3 that was received with much pleasure by the members of the class and the audience. ror the honor of delivering l ie salutatory the class had selected Wil Schmidtmann, who took as his si b ject "The Spirit of the Age," touch ing upon the different phases of eWnts that had served as the ruli.ig spirit of each of the periods of tine since the beginning of the world in which we live, and reaching the nu d ern period in the world's history, de picting education as the great factor that had been found in the present age of the world, and which had con tributed to the advancement of man kind to the present day, and for whi.-h he young people of today were striv ing to attain. Mi Schmidtmann also in behalf 'of the class extended tie welcome to the parents, friends and citizens of Plattsmouth to the grad uating exercises. The address was one that showed much study add thoughtful preparation and expressed the feeling of the class as to the valuer of the education that they had re ceived in the schools of this city to fit them for the battle of life. Miss Beatrice Seybert, the valedic torian of the class, bid farewell on behalf of the class to the golden days of school time, with its close friend ships, its fond memories and grateful remembrance of the work of the fac ulty of the school, in fitting the stu dents for their part in the drama up on the stage of life. Miss Seybert had as her subject "The Headquar ters of Civilization," taking up the Greek and Roman civilizations of the dawn of the world and the gradual sweeping away of the tyo great na tions whose place had been taken by other nations in the press of time. In America the highest type so far of civilization could be found today where the best of all the nations of the earth had gathered and formed a great nation that was to still far ther carry out their mission in the world. To make the citizenship per fect it was necessary to drive out all vice or Influence that might tend to detract from the development of the race and to permit America to take its proper place as the leader of the world's civilization. The speaker ex pressed the hope that in the coming years the last obstacles to the de velopment and purification of the race might be swept aside and Amer ica come forth as the cleanest and greatest nation of the earth and would serve as a guiding star for all the world. i.Z.s. John V, roller avzied. the class and audience with one of her usual charming solos, which was a de- ight to everyone present and was received with marked approval by everyone present. Miss Verna Cole served as accompanist for Mrs. Fal ter. The class address was delivered by Rev. G. E. Newell of the Third Pres byterian church of Kansas City, Mo., and was one filled with great interest. The theme of the address was "Pay ing the Full Price," and was one filled with many thoughts of great value to the graduating class and the audi ence. The personality of the human race, physically, mentally and spirit ually, was taken up by the speaker and a number of examples of the leaders of the world were taken up as showing the success that can be attained in the affairs of the world and the price that must be paid to accomplish the goal, and this was up to the man or woman .who would be called upon to pay the price to attain their ambition. In the fields of trained athletics there was a price to pay in clean living and avoidance of the things that would tend to under mine the welfare of the body and han- diewp the development of the physical side ot man. ine many days ana years ol study that were necessary for mental attainment were all a part of the price demanded in pavment for the success of the positions that the great figures in the world had at tained. To the spiritual side it was also necessary to pay by clean up right lives that the men and women might attain their desired aims and be brought in closer touch with the Divine Ruler, that their hearts might be attuned so that they could have a spiritual force in the world. At the conclusion of the ; ddrcss of Rev. Newell, Superintendent W. G. Brooks announced the awarding of the scholarship to the honor gradu ate, who had the highest average for the four years' work in la and this was iriven to Mi school, Anna ; The Weber with an average of three others ranking the tiie class were: Kathern ugr.est in e Gord. r. 92; Florence Persinger. t-'l; Todd. 90.
