awarded the diplomas that represent
ed the completion of twelve years of
school activities.
The school auditorium was filled
to its capacity by the relatives and
friends of the young people to pay
their respects to the clans that is now
closing its school activities.
The settings of the stage where the
gray robed class was seated was
very tastefully arranged by the com
mittee of the juniors.
Miss Whipple Leonard, "40 sound
ed the professional to which the
members of the senior class, seventy
one in number, entered and took
their seats on the stage where they
wire to enact the last part of their
high school careers.
Superintendent L. S. Devoe pre
sided, presenting the various features
of an exceptionally fine program.
Dr. II. G. McClusky, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, gave
the invocation and the benediction
for the services.
The past year the school has boast
od of an unusually fine musical or
ganization, that of the a cappella
choir and last evening the senior
members of this group under the
direction of David Fowler, Jr.. gave
two very fine selections in a Russian
folk song. "The Vesper Hymn" and
the interesting Ukrainian folk song,
"The Violin Singing in the Street."
The members of this group com
prised: Maxine Nielsen, Kathleen
Nolte, Charlotte Palmer, Shirley Ja
cobs, John Jacobs, Warren Heed,
James Sandin, Gloria Johnson, Ruth
Ann Hatt. Kose M. Steppat, Eleanor
Giles. Theodore Libershal, John Tid
ball. Dale Nearhood, Kathryn Tschir
ren. Vivian Warner, Doris MePher
son. Mary McCarroll, Ronald Rebal,
Clarence Mayabb, Donald McPherson.
Presents Salutatory
Miss Maxine Nielsen gave the salu
tatory of the class, taking as her sub
ject. "The Current of Life." The
sptaker compared life with a current
in which the traveler might find his
way to success or to failure by his ap
plication of the experiences learned,
the current wtyere one might drift or
strike out to accomplish other goals
that had been set. To accomplish
greater ideals was the mark to which
those in the current should strive.
Miss Nielsen expressed the appre
ciation of the class for the opportun
ity of the years of schooling and
the mission of those leaving the
school to find a larger field of use
fulness. To the teachers and the
parents she expressed the gratitude
for the aid and the sacrifices made,
that the students might complete
their work and be ready to face the
battle of life, better armed in knowl
edge and poise for the tasks that
lay ahead.
The Valedictory
John Bestor, valedictorian of the
class, chose as his topic that ot
"World Economics." very ably pre
sented and a fine discussion of many
of the problems that today are shak
ing the civilized world. The day was
testing the two theories of economics
that represented broad differences of
thought, the capitalistic theory where
(hp individual might accumulate his
capital and retain this, the socialistic
cr communisti? where all property
was supposed to be that of common
distribution where the individual was
a unit in governmental control dis
tribution system. These conditions
had been caused largely as the re
sult of the World war when twenty
years ago the nations of the world,
engaged In conflict, had strained
themselves to produce to carry on the
warfare, the close of the war had
brought a radical readjustment but
production had continued until ten
years ago when it had slowed down
a3 demand grew- less and surpluses
accumulated, unemployment came to
bring its fear to the minds of the
people. With the wrecks of war and
the conditions that followed had
risen many of the teachings of today.
the leadership of Hitler had found
response in Germany because of con
ditions and in Russia war had laid
the train for the revolution that had
eventually routed Ihe -capitalistic
system. The war cost to the United
States will be $100,000,000,000, or a
sum that would build 1,000,000
school buildings sucli as that of
Plattsmouth for the nation. The
war scares and alarms had played
havoc with the existing systems of
economics, in off balance as showed
by the fact that in Great Britain
fifty-six per cent of the purchases had
been by government in the pursuit
of the armament program. With
WPA as a relief problem, the dole in
England and other artificial aids in
the nations, it was necessary to seek
the re-establishment of the world
economics and to strive to keep the
world at peace that it might find
restoration.
In the class associations, one of the
popular members has been John Ja
cobs, who has filled a large place in
school activities in athletics and
music, last evening his contribution
to the program being a splendidly
rendered presentation of "A Perfect
Day" by Carrie Jacobs Bond, a song
in which the fine voice of the singer
found full expression. Miss Ruth
Westover served as the accompanist.
The class is to be congratulated
on the selection of their orator, Dr.
O. II. Werner, professor of education
of the University of Nebraska, who
had as his subject, "The Demands
of Democracy," a masterly presented
comparison of life in a dictatorship
and that of a democracy, the exploit
ation of the individual in a total
itarian state and the sovereignty of
the individual In the democracies cf
the world today. Dr. Werner con
gratulated the class and the young
people in their excellent addresses as
expressions of the youth of a land
of freedom. To them and their vision
lay the future years of national life.
Dr. Werner told of the world await
ing with anxiety what might 'be
transpiring behind the walls of chan
celleries of the world, what steps
might be made to further disorganize
the world's balance of power. Dr.
Werner compared the dictatorships of
Germany, Italy, Russia, Japan and
Spain where democracy has long
3ince vanished and whose shadows
fall on the free nations of the earth
today. 1
Americans who had been in these
foreign ' countries had returned to
their own homeland rejoicing and
more appreciative of the benefits of
the life here in freedom and indi
vidual rights. The speaker brought
(his home with dramatic effective
ness by reciting Dr. Henry Van
Dyke's "Home Again."
The speaker took as his theme the
four great principles on which the
democracies are founded. Freedom.
Opportunity, Justice, Visfon, these
things having given freely oppor
tunity for common liberty. The ad
vance of the United States had been
marked with changing reforms," the
gradual adoption of the universal bal
lot, the elimination of property, class
or ra-cial qualifications ' for voting
that had prevailed In many states.
Comparing the right of the American
to the free ballot the speaker pointed
to the fact that in' a dictator coun
try the vote was cast as ordered or
eise the voter found himself in con
centration camps. The speaker stress
ed the fact that all men were equal
in the American voting, one vote
being as good as another, here in
this land of freedom the right to
religious worship was guaranteed
and the citizen might practice his
belief free and unharmed, while in
foreign nations ministers and wor
shipers alike felt the force of govern
ment oppression, speech and free
dom of the press had helped keep
the torch of liberty glowing In this
land of ours, the speaker declared. 1
Dr. Werner' urged that the class
of 1939 carry on the American tra
dition of keeping the door of oppor
tunity open to those who might cornel
after them. While conditions had
brought many complaints of the lack
of opportunity, the speaker gave sev
eral cases where courage and deter
mination of individuals had made
the success desired.
Justice in this nation with jury
trial, the right of appeal and the
elimination of secret legal cabals was
compared with those of some foreign
countries where the prisoner is tried
by his accusers, the trial secret and
the power of the defense dictated by
the accusing body.
Vision had made the nation, Dr
Werner declared, it had brought the
men and women seeking freedom
from an old world and pioneers from
the east to found this part of the
nation where we now live and en
joy life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness.
Miss Rose Mary Steppat, who has
been one of the outstanding students
of the musi department, gave the
number "Pale Moon" by Knight,
whose very lovely melody was given
a fine interpretation by the singer
Miss Ruth Westover was the accom
panist.
Miss Caroline Baird, regent of
Fontenelle chapter of the Daughters
of the American Revolution gave
the Jennie Dodge memorial history
prize to Miss Janet Westover, whose
record in the four years in high
school has been outstanding in this
history study.
The scholarship awards were made
by Superintendent L. S. Devoe, who
also announced the high ranking stu
dents oT the class. John Bestor was
given a regnt's scholarship at the
University of Nebraska as the high
ranking student of the class and Miss

Hinky-Dinky
Store Robbed
of Large Store
Front Door of Store Pried Open and
Robbers Jimmy Safe Setting
in Front of the Door.
The burglarizing of the Hinky
Dinky store and the prying open ot
the safe with the theft of between
S00 and $900 in currency and
checks was revealed this morning
shortly after 7 o'clock.
The crime was discovered when
in early morning tuscomer visited
ihe store and discovered that the
.ront door of the store was open and
the lock apparently jimmied. Near
he door was the safe which had its
Joor shattered and the combination
!ials broken off. The customer dis
covering the robbery located Officer
David Pickrel, who called Ordell Hen-
lings, store manager, and Sheriff Joe
Mrasek, who hurried to the scene.
It was found that the door had
oeen pried open and from this fact
it is thought that the robbery oc-
urred at an early hour this morning
as the night police reported checking
the front door at 2:30 this morning
and at that time it was apparently
locked and in proper condition.
The safe that was pried open is
of a light type and largely for fire
protection and was apparently easy
for the burglars to attack. With the
knobs knocked off the safe the rob
bers pried open the door to the safe,
bending the upper part of the door
in getting it open.
There was something like $517
in checks in the safe which Mr. Hen
nings had stamped for deposit in the
Plattsmouth State bank and which
will make it difficult for the robbers
to dispose of these. There was a
large envelope of currency contain
ing something like 350 in the safe
and which was also taken.
Sheriff Joe Mrasek visited the store
as soon as the alarm was given and
had the safe covered to prevent the
destroying of possible fingerprints
that might have been left by the
robber.
MAKES LUMP SETTLEMENT
In the district court at Omaha
Wednesday approval was made by
the court of a settlement of Arthur
Salerno, a former materials man in
the employ of the BREX here for his
claim for damages. The settlement
was made by the insurance com
pany carrying the compensation for
the sum of $400 for the injury sus
tained In 1937 here by Mr. Salerno
in cranking a tractor.

of Plainview, Nebraska arrived in

Death of Old
Time Resident
of Plattsmouth
Byron Golding, 64, Native Son of
This City Dies at Lincoln Hos
pital After Long Ilness.
The death of Byron Golding, 64,
occurred Thursday shortly after the
noon hour at the Lincoln General
hospital where he has been for the
past few weeks and was operated on
a week ago for a kidney ailment.
For the past few years Mr. Gold
ing has been in failing health due to
a heart ailment which has made it
necessary at different times to take
treatment at hospitals but without
the desired relief.
The death of Mr. Golding removes
from the community life a man who
was born and reared In Plattsmouth
and for the greater part of his life
has been actively identified with the
business interests of the city.
The parents of Mr. Golding, Levi
and Dorothea Golding, were among
the early settlers of the Jewish race
in this part of the west, coming from
St. Louis to Plattsmouth in the early
seventies with a number of their rel
atives, members of the Nathan and
Solomon family. The Golding family
settled here while the others moved
westward to Lincoln to make their
home. It was in this city that Mr.
Golding was born and grew to man
hood, receiving his education in the
local schools.
On 'reaching manhood Mr. Gold
ing started on a business career that
has occupied his lifetime, first being
engaged as a traveling salesman for
one of the large wholesale houses of
the country and which he continued
until his physical condition made
necessary his retirement.
After the death of the father a
great many years ago, Mr. Golding
resided here with his aged mother
and tenderly cared for her until
death called her to rest. Since that
time he has made his home alone
and found his greatest pleasure in
the association with the old friends,
many of whom were school day as
sociates. Several years ago in conjunction
with Dr. J. J. Stibal, Mr. Golding
established a variety store here and
in which he was actively engaged up
to the time of his going to the hos
pital at Lincoln.
To those who had the privilege
of knowing and understanding hlra,
Mr. Golding was a warm and loyal
friend and to these his death comes
as a most sorrowing loss.
Unmarried, he was the last of the
immediate members of his family and
Is survived by a number of cousins
and an uncle by marriage. The
cousins are Mrs. Sam SamuelH, Miss
Bertha Nathan and L. L. Solomon of
Lincoln, and the uncle, I. Nathan,
also of Lincoln.
Funeral services will be Sunday
at 11 a. m. at the B'Nal cemetery at
Omaha, 48th and Grand avenue, two
blocks off Ames avenue. The parents
are buried at this place.
