Dr. Hunter presided and read letters from ab sent Wesleyan graduates after which Miss Enid Miller, head of the speech department was introduced and spoke on "What Are You Going to Find When You Go to College?" empha sizing three things which could be found romance, loyalty and work.

His brother. Frank was the second student enrolled at the col- lege. With buildings not yet com- pleted and ladders having to be used j instead of stairs, the school was open-; ed. He spoke especially of the Chris tian influence which then permeated the atmosphere of the school, mak ing the student feel that Christian ity was first and education second at Wesleyan.

Pridgeport; Mr. and Mrs. James Lush, Omaha; all , spoke of their college days and show-jf-'d their loyalty to their alma mater. All this formed an interesting back- ground for Chancellor Benjamin F. Swartz, who said that he had always found Wesleyan graduates to be their best boosters. He spoke of a few changes being made to better condi tions at the college. One is a stronger teachers training program, and an other is the moving last week of the chemistry department to the new 'an Fleet building on the third floor. .The physics department will be there also, making a science building of jVan Fleet. He said "The day is past Uvhen it is believed that we can just Open our mouths and the Lord will Mill them with words." Instead, he I said. "We must fill our mouth, our j brain and our hearts, before we ex pect the Lord to use us in his work." ! The cost of attending Wesleyan was brought out as $40 per month which lis the amount which will cover all (expenses, including campus activ ities of all kinds. j Well, it was a great day, and n jday which will long be remembered ! by all who were there. There is (nothing like a school reunion, high .school, or college, which pulls at the 'heart strings as a reunion does. 'Everything else is forgotten for the I time. Four years are crowded into a few short hours of happy mem ories and every one will look forward to another Wesleyan reunion next year in Cass county.

Clements, Director; Charles Long, Assistant Director; Jean Eothwell, Majorette. The sun might shine, the straw berries might be ripe, and the mos quitoes might swoop, but if Elmwood didn't have band concerts it wouldn't be anything like summer. Long before players now tooting away remember. Elmwood was band conscious. Practically since the town was established, some band or an other has been active in community life. The band pictured in Sunday's Lincoln Journal was organized in 1923 and has given summer evening concerts since that time. V. G. Clem- ents is director of the band, which has a membership largely from Elm wood. Murdock and Eagle, and Charles Long is the assistant. Mr. Clements, who has marched in every Memorial day parade since 1!)13 with one exception (and ill ness laid him low that May occa sion), is the mortician. Mr. Long is a farmer. Other occupations represented of a Wednesday night and on rehearsal nights are medical students, super intendent of schools, veterinarian, city marshal, bank clerk, mail car riers, insurance salesman, ministers, and druggist. And. of course, there the the usual young people who will grow up to be teachers and lawyers and band musicians. The first director was the late Prof. Henry Knies. who had served with the German army in World war No. 1. His successors were Charles Long, Murdock: A. W. Han- kins. Weeping Water; Prof. August Dietz. Lincoln: V. G. Clements. Elm wood: the late Peter Gradoville, Plattsmouth; and Mr. Clements. Jean Adair Pothwell is the drum majorette and no small part of the general effectiveness of a concert, given each Wednesday evening at S:30 o'clock. If you are out motor ing, the bandstand is just off Main street, and you are welcome. The typical run of business men in a small town make up the person nel. The president and manager, Milo Frisbee, is a hardware f mer chant; Morris Penterman. secretary treasurer, manage the- lnTObeu yard in his less musical moments.

Auburn Wins from Locals by a 3 to 2 Score Phillips Homers in Vain Noble Leads Hitting Error in the Ninth Cosily. By ROBERT COOK An error in the ninth inning Sun day proved to be the downfall of the Plattsmouth Merchants as Au burn marched to victory behind the five hit twirling of Red Gerard. Joe Xoble returned to the mound for Plattsmouth but failed to receive fhe proper' support at the crucial moments. Joe led his team at bat with three hits in four trips. Auburn scored early in the sec ond. Helm tripled to right center and scored on Iloback's line single to left center. From then on it was a nip-and-tnck battle until the fatal ninth. A,tiburn tallied first. Poggemeyer singlde to center. Helm was safe on Noble's fumble, and Livingston singled to left center putting ducks on the pond. Gerard's grounder went through Phillips' legs into cen ter field, and roggemeyer and Helm came in. Phillips did his best to remedy his bobble but it wasn't enough. Xoble doubled to left, and Phillips hit a home run over the left field bank. Gerard braced himself and re tired Petet. Smith. r.nd Ault in a row to end matters. The fielding highlights were Helm's running, leaping catch of O'Donnell's long smash in the first and Iloback's running catch of Jack's poke in the fifth.

FIFTH AND MAIN STREETS Plattsmouth, Nebr. When Mr. and Mrs. I. L. Kocian and children, Patricia ami Cyril made arrangements for their 1941 vacation they decided to remain in their native state of Nebraska. The Kocians have several relatives in the state, and this gave thorn an oppor tunity to see and visit with them personally. Mr. Kocian. the local representative for the Metropolitan Insurance company, was granted a two-week leave. The Kocians first motored to St. Libory, Nebraska, where Mrs. Ko cian's relatives reside. St. Libory is her home town and in addition to relatives she also has a large group of friends who were glad to nee her &nd her family. From there they went to O'Connor, where they renewed acquaintances with Rev. Robert O'Neill, an old friend of the family. Rev. O'Neill was just ordained a priest last month and is serving as assistant pastor at the Catholic church at O'Connor. Eurwell was their third stop and here they were guests of more rel atives. From Burwoll they journeyed to Spencer, where Mr. Kocian's parents and relatives reside. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ko cian, and on their return trip to Plattsmouth they were accompanied by - the former. Mr. Kocian spent the week-end here and today left for Brainard, Nehraska, where he will visit before going on to Spencer. The local vacationers returned Sat urday and Mr. Kocian was at his post Monday morning. They report that that section of Nebraska has been visited by rains and the residents there seem assured of favorable crop production this year.
