Roy Waldo was ill and unable to Nehawka Properly Celebrates The American Legion of Nehawka which is a body of young men with the necessary American pep present ed a program to thxse who in great numbers attended the celebration of Armistice day last Saturday and which was greatly appreciated by all. The amusement was well worth the while. The first of the program was the obstacle race and was won by T.nnie Pncc n-hn rtnm voil tlic ton (ml. lrvTic f.r cosniins nroaa-ntoA .ir niaf Lundberg. The second prize in this I . Seaf on "u f. SOOn for was won bv George LoPP. in the!? basketball games. The prices boys race the first prize was won by 18 Wl1 b,e, he same as last aI" George Waldo, and the second by ueldon Switzer. i he prizes were donated by J. H. Steffens. In the girls' race the first prize was won by Miss Vera Martin, the prizes being donated by Frank I'. Sheldon. The tug o' war between teams se lected by Z. W. Shrader and Wlnfield Scott Norris caused lsuch amusement and everybody was greatly excited over the event. With some twenty men many of the giants in the strug gle it made a strong pull. The team of Mr. Shrader won by dint of hard work and all pulling together. The slow race was won by Herold Stoll while the sack of flour in the free for all race was won by Melvin Sturm. The revenue of the legion was aug . mented by the court martial when the people of the town and those celebrating weer found guilty of in fractions of style and decorum and things against the dignity of the thriving city. J. M Palmer was ap prehended and brought before the court by the military police and fined two bits for wearing his Sunday 'smile on Saturday and admonished to have but one for all occasions. We think Jim intended to do this and perhaps it was only a lapse of mem ory on his part. Ttomas Mason was also fined and his offense was smok ing in the presence of the men en gaged in the tug of war. These two gentlemen and others to the number of perhaps twenty-five or thirty of fenders all happily desponded with their fines and thus the cause was furthered. Withal the day was most pleasantly spetn and with the pic ture show in the evening was made complete. Parent-Teachers' Ass'n Meets The first meeting of the year of the Nehawka Parent-Teachers' asso ciation was held at the school house on Tuesday evening. Mr. Burby at the opening of the meeting stated the condition of affairs and said that he felt that the association was a good thing and should be continued. However, because of rather poor sup port as a whole last year it was a question whether it should be con tinued. Mr. Burby thought that it was a question whether it should be continued. Mr. Burby thought that it was more of a parents meeting than a teachers organization and that' if the parents were not inter ested it would be better to drop the association. The question was put to a vote and most of those present thought that it should be continued. Offi cers were then elected for next year the result being as follows: Presi dent. Mrs. E. M. Pollard; vice presi dent, Mr. L. W, Burby; secretary, Mrs. St. John; treasurer, Mr. i.eo Switzer. It was voted that the president and vice president with three others appointed by them should constitute a progarm committee for next year.
