Many Improve-ments Mark the

Spring SeasonBusiness Houses and Residences Alike

Are Being Made More Attrac-tive by Improvements.

From Thursdays DallyThe past several months have seen

a great deal of improvement in thecity in a great many ways and par -

'J in 1 1 ' r w ci y ui l ilTT ucuci- -ment of the various business build-ings as well as the residences overthe city.

In the downtown district there hasbeen many changes made that have Tne out of lown guests were Mrs.added to the attractiveness of the Thomas Sullivan and Mrs. Traver, ofbusiness action and which have Omaha, and Mrs. Frank D. Burgess,been large factors in making the,of Salina Kansas, former residentbuildings more attractive in both the Wo whrt nnw moving to Omahainterior and the exterior.

The use of the paint and brushhas made a great many of the exter-iors of the buildings present a won-derful appearance and Jending tothe entire business section a muchneeded improvement.

Several of the stores have car-ried on extensive remodeling chang-es in the interior of their buldingsthat have added to the appearanceas well as the convenience of thestores and among these that haveand are still engaged in the workof remodeling are the H. M. Soen-nichse- n,

the E. A.Wurl and the newRed and White grocery stores as wellas the building that is being occu-pied by the Ghrlst Furniture Co.

Perhaps one of the most out-standing improvements that hasbeen made is the rebuilding of thestructure on South Sixth streetwhich was formerly used by the popfactory and which has been in astate of partial dissolution for several years. The property .was secur-ed by the Building and Loa associa-tion and rebuilt and is now a realattraction to that part of the cityand is occupied by the Maytag Co., astheir distribution headquarters anddisplay rooms.

The last few months has seen asmuch improvement over the city asthe entire record of 1927 would

show and is an indication of the factthat the entire community is makingits advancing strides again, after thepost war period of depression. Otherimprovements are being carried onin the shape of remodeling and re-decorating of places and which willmake the year record breaking inthe number of improvements thathave been made.

Some of these changes have notbeen so costly but they have addedmuch to the appearance of the busi-ness section, while others will costa great deal, one of these being theremodeling of the Hall building onSouth 6th street which is to be usedas a motion picture theatre.

The total of the changes made willamount to many thousands of dol-lars and certainly speaks well forthe first four months of the year andif the ensuing summer is prolific ofimprovements as the first few monthsof the year 1928 will set a very highstandard of improvement in the city.

other of the fine orchestras that hasbeen brought here by the Legion forits feature dances since theopening of the Legion communitybuilding last Fall, but as usual thepast three months with the mid-wee- k

King of TrailsBridge Soon to

be ResurfacedState to Call for Bids for Placing

Rock Asphalt Surface onthe Roadway.

From Thursday's DaliyThe King of Trails bridge over

the Platte river which in the nexttwo or three months will become astructure that will be free to travel,is to be given a thorough re-su- r-

! facing of the roadway of the bridgebefore the bridge becomes a freestructure.

I The state engineer is calling forbids for placing on the bridge a road-- ',

way surfacing of an inch and a halfr of rock concrete to replace the pres-;e- nt

gravel surfacing of the bridgeand which will offer a greater wear-ing resistance to the heavy travelthan the gravel.

The work as announced ia to becommenced on June 15th and will becompleted on July 1st, just prior tothe time that the structure willprobably be opened as a free non-to- ll

bridge.The bridge has been purchased by

the counties of Cass and Sarpy andthe state of Nebraska, the countiespaying their half of the cost of thebridge as well as the interest on thestructure through the medium oftolls and the travel that has passedover the bridge has now practicallypaid for the cost of the building ofthe fine steel and concrete structureand also the incidental expenses thathave been incurred, including thesalaries of the toll keepers and theother maintenance and costs of thebridge.

The attainment of the free bridgeis a great advance toward the elim-ination of the only toll bridge in thestate that spans a state stream andwill be the result of a campaign ofmany years to secure a bridge of thiskind and which was made possibleby the Plattsmouth and Omaha groupof men that erected the bridge andlater sold it to the state and the twocounties with the object of securingthe free bridge.

tbClass of 1928

Say Farewell toHi School Days

One of the Largest Classes in theHistory of the School Are

Given Diplomas.

From Saturday's tjaTi?Last evening another class of stu-

dents passed from the threshold ofthe Plattsmouth high school, com-pleting their four years of work inthe final grades and which entitledthem to the coveted parchments thatgave them the distinctions of highschool graduates and representing areturn of the energy and interestthat they had given to the schoolwork in the period that they hadbeen members of the great democracy

j of the American high school.The class of 1928 of the Platts-

mouth high school wag one of thelargest that has been graduated andwas exceptional in the fact that avery substantial majority of the classwere boys, thirty-fou- r of the classbeing young men and twenty-fiv- e

young ladies, this being the first timein the history of the school that themasculine portion of the class hadexceeded the feminine in the point ofnumbers.

The school auditorium was whollyinadequate to accommodate thecrowd that assembled to enjoy thegraduation and long before the open-ing of the program standing room inthe auditorium was at a premium

The program of the commencementwas carried out in the most pleasingmanner and the class under the di-

rection of their sponsor, R. F. Pat-terson fully carried out their partof the program in making the occa-sion a success in every way.

It was promptly 8 o'clock whenthe notes of the processional marchwas sounded by Charles Nowacek,member of the class of 1929 and oneof the brilliant musically inclinedstudents of the school. The class en-

tered in their grey gowns and themortar board caps and presented avery fine appearance as they tooktheir places on the platform, theyfilling the stage of the auditorium toits capacity.

As the class reached the stage theinvocation was pronounced by theRev. O. G. Wichmann, pastor of theSt. Paul's Evangelical church, whogave the plea for the divine blessingof the young men and women whowere completing their school work.

The class had the pleasure of en-

joying a very fine musical offering inthe solo given by Frank A. Cloidt,well known local vocalist and alsosecretary of the board of educationand who had as his number, "Invictus," by Bruhn, the accompanistbeing Miss Estelle Baird.

The salutatory was given byGeorge Olson, the second highestranking student of the class and whoon behalf of his fellow students assisted in the expression of pleasureat their attainment of their success.Mr. Olson stated that he recalled thesensations of the twelve years beforewhen he had entered the school forthe first time, that the class appre-ciated the successful ofteacher and parent in advancingthem through the school, serving theclass each year until this time whenthe responsibility of serving becamethe duty of the members of the classwhen they too must take up theirduties. The class must serve theircommunity and their friends in thefuture as others had served for themin the past.

The valedictory address was givenby Miss Fern Jahrig, the highestranking student of the class, gavethe farewell for the class to theschool where they had labored forthe past four years in completionof the high school work, Miss Jahrigpicturing the pleasure that thegraduation brought, as well as thefeeling of regret that the membersof the class all felt at the partings,the severing of many friendships andthe development of new interests inlife. She spoke of appreciation of theclass to their parents, who had madethe sacrifices that were necesssary inthe completion of education of themembers of the clas. to the teacherswho had trained through the gradeand high school years the minds ofthe students and also to the boardof education and the citizens ofPlattsmouth who had provided theopportunit' of the high school educa- -

i tion. The class should make loyaltytheir motto and bear this to theirschool, their home and the friendsthat they make along life's way.

The class of 1928 had an excep-tionally pleasing speaker as the or-

ator of the commencement exercisesin Prof. H. E. Bradford of the stateuniversity, whose subject was thatof "The Magic Touch," the speakertaking the story of Aladdin and thewonderful lamp, which required butthe touch of the hand to bringhurrying to the service of the ownerof the lamp, the genii that wouldserve the every wish of the owner ofthe lamp. To the young man orwoman there was a magic touch inlife that they alone possesed, nogift could bring them certain thingsof life, success, wealth, fame andfriends, save their own magic touchof service and which they must exer-cise to bring forth their dearestdreams attainment.

JTebraika State Historf-a-lSociety

In his opening the speaker calledthe attention to the trend of thetimes that had brought more andmore young people through the highschool, how a few years ago smallclashes were the rule in all schoolsand now larger and larger classeswere leaving the schools, the parentsgiving their children greater op-

portunities in the way of education.This was true largely of the boy andgirl from the farm where the parentswere now giving their children thesania opportunities that had in thepast been held by only a few in thecities, today the boy and gill of thefarm coming to receive their finaleducation in the high school becausetheir districts could and would sendthem to the accredited high schoolsfor their education.

In discussing the magic touch oftime Mr. Bradford recalled the factthat twenty years ago when a com-mencement speaker offering thestatement that music and the humanvoice would come over the air with-out wires to convey them would havebeen laughed at, that if a man hadforetold that young man would onemorning step in his plane in NewYork and thirty hours later step cuton the landing field at Paris, hewould have been thought foolish, yettime with its magic touch had ac-

complished this.What had won for the men and

women of America had been thepower of thinking, the forciful andstrong minds that had gone fromthe beaten path of thought andfound new inspirations that hadgiven the world a greater vision andgreater attainments. The boy or girlleaving school should strive to at-

tain that which their ambition calledfor. they should try and make suc-cessful the dreams that they mighthave as to their future professionor place in life.

To the fathers and mothers thespeaker gave the message of thmagic touch, asking the question asto whether or not the child wouldhave the same blind and unshakenconfidence and faith in the parentat seventeen they had at five whenthe parent was the whole world tothem. It was the duty and the responsibility of the parent to livetheir own life with their children, tokeep their interest, their realizationof the needs and desires orthe child in their mind and to guideand counsel the young' man orwoman.

The address was one of the bestthat has been heard for many yearsat commencement and the speakerheld the closest attention of the audi-ence until the close.

Superintendent R. E. Bailey, whopresided over the meeting introducedW. G. Brooks, superintendent ofschools of Burlington, Iowa, and alsoa former superintendent of the localschools, who gave a brief expression of his appreciation at beingpresent and recalled many of theincidents of his school work hereand of the fact of the graduatingclass had Just commenced their schoolwork in the grades while he was stillthe superintendent here.

Mrs. L. O. Minor, regent of theFontenelle chapter of the Daughersof the American Revolution, gavethe presentation of the history prizethat was awarded to Henry Wooster,one of the high ranking students ofthe class.

Superintendent R. E. Bailey alsogave the Palmer awards that hadbeen given to members of the nor-mal training class for their excellentwork in their penmanship which isunder the direction of Miss MarieKaufmann, supervisor of this department of the city schools. Themembers of the class receiving thereward were: Florence Wiles, LoaDavis. George Olson, Marie Nolting,Gretchen Warner. Gladys Bushnell.Marie Sperry, Mary Ellen Vallery,Frances Wiles, Ona Graves, EulaReed and Doris Hogue.

One of the delightful features ofthe program was the saxophone num-ber given by Frederick M. Gorder,one of the graduates who has beenactive in the musical as well as theathletic life of the school and whoseaccompaniment was played by Mrs.John F. Gorder, his mother.

The scholarship awarded by thechurch colleges of the state was pre-sented to Miss Fern Jahrig, honorstudent, by Superintendent R. E.Bailey.

The class of 1928 was then pre-sented by J. V. Simons, principal ofthe high school, who gave the classa fine tribute and recommended themto the board of education to receivethe diplomas that they had earned.

The diplomas were then presentedby Dr. F. L. Cummins, president ofthe board of education. In a few wellchosen remarks and which Dr. Cum-mins recalled that when he gradu-ated over forty years ago the clas3had numbered Just eight and whichwas then the largest class that theschool had graduated.
