The Thanksgiving spirit was ob
served at the high school on Wednes

delightful comedy. Those in the cast
were Maxine Cloidt. Towner Living-
stun. Marearet Shellenbarger. Helen
Schulz, Lucille Albert. Eleanor Swat
ek and Ruth Ferrie. while Miss Flor
ence Beighley of the high school fac
ulty was the director of the produc
tion. The stage was very attractive in
the new curtains of yellow which
have been presented by the Senior
I lass of the High school.
In a more serious vein. E. H. Wes
cott gave a short talk on "Thanks
giving Spirit." pointing out the need
for expression of the appreciation
felt for the good that had come out
of life and for the blessings that each
hail received in some form in the clos
ing year.
James Begley, Jr., one of the tal
ented musicians of the school, was
heard in two numbers. "Thora." by

The girls' glee club also gave two
very fine selections, "Going Home"
and "The Dawn is Breaking," which
were splendidly given under the di
rection of Miss Cora Williams, mu
sical supervisor of the school. Miss
Vestetto Robertson served as the ac
companist. The students then joined in the
pep rally on the eve of the Platts
mouth -Nebraska City high school
cctball game- and gave plenty of
rpirit for the team to win. later join
ing in the "P. H. S. Loyalty Song."
The presentation of the library gift
was then made to close the program.
The event was under the direction
of the student council committee,
composed of Jean Hayes, chairman;
Edward Wehrbein. Gertrude Vallery,
James Robertson and Helen Schulz.
James Begley. president of the
student council, presided, and Jack

VISITS HOME FOLKS
Mr. and Mrs. Carl R. Cole of Brule,
Nebraska, departed for their home
by auto Wednesday, after spending
the past two weeks visiting relatives
and friends in Cass county.
Mr. Cole is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
S. O. Cole of Mynard, and having
been reared and schooled in this vi
cinity he is always welcomed among
his many old time friends and asso
ciates. Since locating in the west he
has been engaged in wheat raising
and is now one of the largest wheat
farmers in Keith county, he having
harvested 1500 acres of wheat this
yea r.
In his electrically equipped shop
on his own homestead, he keeps in
repair his many trucks and tractors
that are required to operate a farm
of this acreage. All of his farming
is done by motor, no horses are
used, and he states that he expects
to have a larger acreage of corn the
coming year, which he will tend with
tractors, also.
Mr. and Mrs. Cole enjoy all of the
comforts of a city home as theirs is
modern in every respect. Mr. Cole
has set out more than a thousand
trees during the past two years, in
cluding such varieties of fruit and
windbreak that are best suited to
that climate.
Since leaving Cass county ten
years ago Mr. Cole has been a regu
lar subscriber to the Plattsmouth
Journal.
WELL KNCWN SOLOISTS HERE
The presentation of "The Messiah"
here on Dec. 9th at the Parmele
theatre promises much from a musi
cal standpoint for the city and will
bring here some of the best known
vocalists of Ohaha. The leading ten
or and bass section of the oratorio
will be taken by leading musicians
of Omaha while Plattsmouth repre
sentatives in the solo parts will in
clude Mrs. E. H. Wescott, soprano,
and Miss Cora Williams, alto.
It is expected that the presenta
tion will be on the same high stand
ard as that presented in Omaha and
will be one of the finest treats of its
kind that has been afforded the
Plattsmouth people in a great many
years.
The very low admission price that
will be charged should make it pos
sible for all of the residents of the
city to attend and enjoy the treat
and to add to the music culture of
the city and surrounding community.
