graduating night, and will be served what we call the

Our dairy herd was very carefully tested out last
week by the (J. S. Bureau of Animal Industry officers.
Their report is received and states “ Perfect condi

man, is very careful and thorough.

were given their examinations last week, thus com

The ladies of the school, known as the “ Dipperiaus’ ’

time and enjoyed a sumptuous banquet a la cafeteria.
We never had a finer party, thanks to these splendid
lady entertainers.
Mr. David S. Turner, head of the agricultural de
partment, has a splendid organization and all work
under him is going forward splendidly. We never
have seen the farm and garden look better. Every
year we have an excess quantity of hay, oats, wheat,
raised on the farm, which we sell; also hogs, eggs,
and hundreds of cockerells, thus bringing in some
thousands of dollars for use in operating our school.
During chapel exercises last Sunday evening the
orchestra played “ On the Mesa Grande” by Maurice,
Harry Frost sang “ Pale Moon” by Logan, a chorus
of boys sang “ Vesper” by Seeboeck, John Petellin
recited a selection bom “ Julius Caesar,” the choir
sang Come Unto Me” by Thomas, and Supt. Hall
concluded the evening’s program with a very fine talk.
His remarks were addressed mainly to members of
the graduating class, bat were o f such a character
that they should have been valued by all, for he voiced
sentiments and ideas founded on veritable truths. It
was a splendid talk and one that the seniors will do
well to remember.

Now that commencement is only few days away we
are beginning to wonder:
Who will win the competitive drill?
Who will win the inter class track and field meet?
Who will be the highest point winner?
Who will put on the best stunt at the students’
campus meeting?
I Who will be chosen our most consistent and consci
entious industrial worker?
Who will be awarded the most coveted prize of all—
as our school honor students.
These are a few but not all the prizes which are
causing us to wonder “ who will w in.”
The prizes offered this year are just as good as they
ever were and probably a little better, but they will
be worth more because of the effort put forth by all
the students to get them. Competition is keener this
year and the judges are finding it difficult to decide
on the winner because of the large number in line for
the various prizes. In view of it all the judges are
turning to the records of the past year and leaving
nothing undone that will determine the rightful prize
winner.
For the most part the winners have put in their best
licks long ago as the work in both their industrial and
academic departments will be considered from the be
ginning of the school term as well as their final averages.
Outside work as well as inside work is also causing
us to wonder “ who will win” for the inter-class track
and field meet has worked us all up to a higher pitch
this year than before. Each class has its team
organized and what promises to be the most exciting
meet ever witnessed will be held on Tuesday morning,
May 29. While we will do everything possible to
have those taking part in the operetta spare their
voices for the play yet we know we might just as well
try to keep the sun from shining because of the class
spirit. Each of the long list of events carries with it
three prizes and the class tracksters have been train
ing hard to carry off the beautiful loving cup for the
winning class and the many pretty printed red, white
and blue ribbons offered as individual prizes.
