of the Class of 1910 by Members of the Junior Class Miss Fitzgerald being the only member of the class of 1910 mem bers of the junior class conceived it would be a joke to reduce the number of graduates at the exer cises by one Accordingly they ar ranged Wednesday evening of that week for a reception for Miss Vera at the home of Mrs Joseph Allen at five oclock Refreshments served a hay rack ride was suggested and the vehicle and team were at hand Eleven juniors Miss Fitzgerald and Miss Mary Hartwell the class spon sor composed the party They mov ed by easy stages and circuitous route to Perry station and by sub terfuge delayed return to the city till after 10 oclock at night when the exercises were about concluded This most regrettable affair indi cates to The Tribune that unless the present spirit in the high school is replaced by one of co operation and mutual sympathy failure faces the system Parents pupils faculty and board need to come out of the entiench ments and get together on a basis of peace and amity The Youngest Soldier Question The question of who was the youngest soldier in the late civil war is continually and frequently being raised Recently a veteran at Te cumseh Nebraska appeared in the arena with his claim and this sug gested to a Red Willow county vet eran that he had a good claim and he presents herewith in this issue Lebanon Nebraska May 30 1910

LACK BOARDING AND LODGING At This Printing Not Enough Re sponses Have Been Received to Requests for Accommodations for Junior Normal Pupils Get Busy Brethren The expectations are that the num ber pf Junior Normal pupils this year will reach a total of about 200 or perhaps 50 more than last year This suggests an appeal to the pride of our citizens to see that accomodations are provided these pu pils at a reasonable charge In or der to ascertain what is a reason- ble charge we will state that at k cf urlnnf onrnai n am- nn oiuucmw gel luum illJU board at from 325 to 375 for both At Peru the figures are a little low er and at Fremont there is a still further reduction The Tribune un derstands that prices here ought not to be as low even as Kearney but they can profitably be placed at say from 75 cents to 100 a week for a furnished room for two and board at from 350 to 400 per week or a total of 425 to 500 for both There is no desire on the part of those directing this junior normal enterprise to get prices down below I profit but we should not lose sight of the fact that a special effort mustj be made to get very reasonable fig ures from the citizens until a board ing house in connection with the school is a reality and the minimum prices thus secured or failure will be written over against our normal school Everything else being equal pupils will go where they can get the best accommodations at the least expense We must meet the exigency or run the risk of dying a natural death from lack of attendance An effort is now being made to se cure the necessary accommodations If our people value the enterprise sufficiently let them come forward and meet the emergency It may well appeal to our pride to give the normalites a welcome and a price to bpot Authorities Interfered A female by the name of Wright was deprived by the authorities this week of a little baby she is alleged to have been treating brutally The little one was not her own having been adopted in some manner from somewhere The little one is only a few months old and shows evi dences of bad treatment The fe male in the case is said to have left the city Sunday night at the direc tion of the authorities Her reputa tion was aught but savory Mrs E M Day is caring for the little one temporarily There are a number of good homes open to the little waif You May Look a Long Time before you find
