they pre
sented in the drills and dances that
were artistic in the extreme and re
flected the greatest credit upon the
teachers in chars of the event and
the musical department of the city
schools of which Miss Olive M. Quinn
is the supervisor.
The throne of the May queen erect
ed on the campus was in pink and
white and back of the throne were
the snow white blooms of the wild
! plums and from the throne to the
high school the white carpet for the
: queen was stretched and over which

i the crowning of the queen and it was
not until the inarch of the party was
' taken up that the fact of the queen's

Alfred W. White, One of the Pioneers
of City and County, Observes
Birthday Yesterday.
Yesterday was the seventy-seventh
birthday anniversary of one of our
pioneer residents, A. W. White, and
this fine old gentleman, who has
made his home in Plattsmouth for
the greater part of these years, was
busy receiving congratulations of
thr old friends and associates on
reaching this ripe old age filled with
many acts of helpfulness to his fel
low men and of service to the com
munity in which he has lived.
Alfred W. White was born in Don-
coster, England, May 1, 184 G, a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Francis White, and
when a lad of tender years was brot
to America by his parents and in his
lifetime has enjoyed the living of a
part of the romance of the great
wort, as his parents and their little
frmiily made the journey across the
then wild and unsettled plains of the
western section of the United States
DEED IS SET ASIDE

enjoyed in rest and comfort at his

the greatest pride to the community

by the rose girls who placed their
beautiful flowers in the sand pots of
the boys and executed a very artistic
dance that certanily would have done
credit to much older children
The flower girls then gave a pleas
his ! ing drill for the benefit of the queen
and her court and the large audience
which showed the careful training
that they had received.
The dancing and songs were ceased
for a short time when Harold Mullis,
president of the senior class, gave the
Ivy day oration and spoke of the
growth of the high school, the en
largement of the fields of activities
of the grade schools and the support
that the public and former students
owed to the place of learning of the
city
Following the Ivy day oration, lit
tle Miss Edna Rummerfield, one of
the really gifted children of the city,
gave a classic solo dance that was
artistic and very charmingly given
by the little lady and which was gen
erously encored by the auditors.
Another of the clever dances was
the Colonial minuet given by some
sixteen of the little folks and in cos
tumes of ye olden time, the quaint
dresses of the little girls, the knee
breeches and long coats of the boys
and the wigs making a scene of beau
ty as the fresh beauty of the children
shown out strikingly.
The Maypole dance by the girls of
the junior high school was the clos
ing feature of tho afternoon program
and was the last of the dancing num
bers, and as the dance was finished
the entire audience joined in singing
"The Star Spangled Banner."
Superintendent G. E. DeWolf in
vited the public to inspect the exhi
bition given of the work of the man

home economics departments of the
high school and which several hun
dred took advantage of to witnness
and which was certainly a fine op
portunity for the patrons of the
school to look over what the young
people of the city schools are doing
and the wonderful progress that has
been -made in educational work in
the last few years and which has
brought the Plattsmouth schools to
rank with the best in the state.
One pleasing feature of the day
was the fact that the community aS a

Herman Reichstadt last evening
set out a number of plants on the

Seventh and Washington avenue, to
assist in the beautifying of the place
and lo and behold this morning at
the dawn the plants were missing.
This i3 a pretty dirty trick on the
part of whoever took them and if
Herman finds out who they were it
will be much the worse for them.
