Last evening the sophomore class of the Plattsmouth high school gath ered at the school building ta cajoy a very peasant time imong them selves for a few hours. The even ing was spent in games and a gener al good time in the "gym" of the school building until a suitable hour when dainty and tempting re freshments of sandwiches, ice cream and cake were served that aided in completing the enjoyment of the members of the class. This class has selected Jack McCarthy as the president for the year and with the other officers of the class he assisted in the preparations of the party as well as did Miss Hoberg, class ad visor. The only thing to mar the pleas ure of the evening was the fact that a number of young men from out side the school circles took it upon themselves to make a very disagree able disturbance around the build ing and conducted themselves in a manner that was wholly uncalled for "as they had no interest in the party and by their butting in serv ed to annov the members of the class and their guests. It would seem to the average person that anyone not connected with the school would keep out of the affairs of the classes and particularly In bothering around the school build ing, attempting to break in on the parties and other conduct of a like character. "While attendance at school would probably do these par ties a great good, if they want to get in on the social events they should enroll in the high school at the opening of the school year.

The day will be opened in regulation military style by reveille at 4 a. m. by a corps of buglers and give the ex- service men an opportunity of in dulging in an old time crab at the bugler and this will be followed at 6 o'clock by the blowing of the whistles of the shops and ringing of all the bells in this city and all over the county to notify the people that the big day is starting.

At the noon hour nil service men will.be looked after and-the Home Ouards have arranged that they will be given a good feed that will not have any corn willy, beans or gold fish on the menu. In order that the occasion can be sociable the boys will be issued two tickets so that their lady friends or relatives can join them in chow and remember boys there will be no mess line or mess kits used. The big feature of the afternoon Is to be the athletic carnival which is the best of its kind staged in the state and some of the best boxers and wrestlers of the state will be present.

One of the features of the after noon that is interesting every man, woman and child of Cass county, is the parade of the soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses, and everyone will be on the lookout for their sons, brothers, husbands and sweethearts and friends in the line of inarch, when the community will have a chance to see the kind of material Cass county sent out to get the goat of the kaiser. The returned service men are determinea to snow mt community that they appreciate the spirit that has prompted the Home Coming and will deliver the goods in the parade. Interspersed with the other big events will be the free attractions on the streets which will be going all day and give everyone an opportun ity of enjoying the novel and enter taining features of the acts secur ed. To aid in keeping the traffic going and to provide the parking spaces for the automobiles the committee is working hard and will have an ample force of men to handle the traffic and to direct the auto drivers to the parking areas which will be made of the side streets, leaving the Main street and the intersecting streets open for the big celebration.
