May Day
Fete Was A
Grand Success
Weeping Water Junior Chamber of
Commerce Sponsors Event A
large Crowd Present
Tuesday was indeed a busy day
for the people of Weeping Water
and the May Day Fete sponsored by
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
was a success in every way.
With the out door setting in Wol
cott's pasture adjoining town on the
west, an abundance of spring flowers
combined with the soft colors of the
dresses worn by the girls and" the
white suits worn by the beys, and
most important of. all the May poles
with their dainty colored streamers
all combined to make a colorful set
ting for the afternoon program.
Automobiles were parked in a
circle and seats were provided for
others. The queen's throne faced the
south.
At 1:30, four trumpeters appear
ed and gave the signal for the
orchestra to open the program and
signal the coming of the May queen
(Miss Dorothy Everett) and her at
tendants in their slow dignified
march to the throne. Miss. Everett
was charming and regal in white
satin with a long train which was
borne by four small attendants. Her
ladies in waiting were dressed in the
soft spring shades and made a most
attractive picture as they grouped
themselves around their queen.
Supt. Behren3 announced the pro
gram by means of a loud speaker.
Jean G. Jones led the orchestra and
Miss Evelyn Long presided at the
piano, while all of the teachers of
the school were busy assisting in
some way to make the Fete a sue-

SOENNICHSEN'S
cess. William Joyce, president of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce and
his force of men were busy caring
for the crowd and assisting the
teachers in every way.
It seems almost unfair to fail to
mention every one who took part by
name, but lack of space forbids. The
teachers of our school deserve great
credit for the excellent performance
of all who took part. Everything
went smoothly from the beginning
oo the end, and the beautiful pic
ture that was presented will linger
long in the minds of all who were
present.
At the close of the program by
the school children, there was a
baseball game between the Platts-
mouth and Weeping Water high
schools teams, with Plattsmoutb
winning. 7 to 1.
Musical Program in Evening
At eight o'clock in the evening,
the Plattsmoutb. American Legion
Junior Drum and Bugle Corps gave
a fine concert and drill on Main
street, with a large crowd in at
lenuance. mis wen trained group
of young musicians made a fine ap
pearance in their good looking uni
forms and their excellent playing
and carefully executed drill maneu
vers brought forth repeated applause
from the large audience. Plattsmouth
is to be congratulated on this splen
did organization. They would be a
'.Treat asset to any city, and Weeping
Water appreciates the fact that they
came over to appear on Tuesday
evening's program.
As a fitting close to the day's fes
tivities, the Weeping Water band,
under the direction of Dr. L. N.
Kunkel, gave a most excellent con
cert, the first of the season, which
also was greatly enjoyed by everyone
present.
The Weeping Water May Day
Fete was a success in every way.
