May 2 4, Mrs. Chester Wiles of Mynard was hos tess at a linen shower, to a group of friends of Miss Alice Barbara Wiles, whose mariage to Mr. Thomas C. Grosshans. will take place in June. The rooms were decorated with silver moons and stars of all sizes and blue crepe paper. In the double doorway were suspended a group of sparkling silvery bells and strips of blue crepe paper festooning at either side, made a lovely decoration. The entire evening was made joy ful by the cleverly planned contests, and prizes were awarded to the Misses Marie Vallery and Jacqueline Wetenkamp and Mesdames Karl Grosshans and Lawrence Leonard. In the dining room the table was spread with midnight blue crepe paper, upon which was a charming centerpiece consisting of a large sil very moon with a rougish face, winking one eye. Going out from the centerpiece were narrow blue rib bons, at the end of which were silver star booklets that contained, in rhyme, clues for the Treasure Hunt. These clues sent the unsuspecting bride-elect to find the shower gifts which were hidden about the house. As soon as all of the packages had been collected and placed upon the table, the honored guest opened them and found them to be lovely and use ful gifts, which she will cherish in her new home. Refreshments were served on card tables covered with blue crepe paper, and the nut cups contained a secret that was cleverly concealed in a tiny pakage of two liny candy-hearts the wedding date- "June 12." Mrs. Chester Wiles was assisted by Mrs. Fred Trilety of Omaha and Mrs. C. L. Wiles, associate hostesses. CYO HAS FINE RECORD Neil Lancaster, graduate of the class of '3S, has a very line school attendance record. He has had per ! feet attendance au tnrougn nign 'school and better still, has missed j only one day since he entered the ! fourth grade. I In high school he took the normal training course and is now eligible to receive his teacher's certificate, hav ing taken the required state exam inations. He has attained high scholastic standing which was shown by his ranking as fourth high student in the class of '3S. High School Student Has a Fine Record Richard Cole in Traveling to and From School Has Covered 10,800 Miles. Richard Cole son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman Cole, living couth of riatts mouth has achieved an unusually fine record. Richard has kept an accurate cccount of the expenses that he has 'ncurred in driving to and from the Plattsmouth high school during the past four years. He is a senior in the Plattsriiouth high school where he has taken an active part in the music uepartrtent. He has been in the first chair in the cornet section of the band and orchestra and sings tenor in the boys' quartette. In addition to this he won high honors at the district music contest at Fremont for his tenor solo. Richard's record shows that in traveling to and from school for the past four years he has travelled 10, S00 miles. During that time he has spent $133.20 for gasoline and $21. CO for oil making a total fuel cost of $154. SO. The astonishing part of this is the fact that Richard has been neith er absent nor tardy and has a per fect attendance record for his senior ! v year. During the four year period in high school he has been tardy three times and absent six days. This included fall, winter and spring, in good roads and bad. Certainly this is a record to which our town students might aspire considering the winters that we have had and the bad roads. Richard was asked if he thought the expenditure of time and money was worth the cost and in his reply he enthusiastically endorsed the cost of $154. SO as very reasonable for a four-year training in the riatts mouth high school.
