THE SPUD 17. Junior-Senior Banquet The Juniors tendered the graduates an excellently appointed banquet in the High School Gymnasium May 2. After the girls of the class of 1916 had attenuated the appetites with the serving of a most delectable five-course menu, the following toasts were given, Mary Baker acting as toastmistress. The Dear Boy Graduates......Dorothy Smith The Sweet Girl Graduates....Elting Bennett Our Alma Mater............Hattie Renswold Spizzerinctum ...............Michael Nolan Headlights.......................Mr. Pate Our Faculty.................Julia Frankie Our Gretna Green.......................Max Wilcox The Maroon and Cream......Orville Davenport The recollection of the old gymnasium in its adornment of maroon and cream and its illumination of good fellowship will be a lasting one in the minds of both the hosts of 1915 and the guests of 1914. The much earned and certainly deserved praise was shown better by the evening’s enjoyment than by any proffered words on the part of those present. Latin Club Entertain Seniors The High School Latin Club, having conceived the novel idea of entertaining the Seniors carried out their plan in a very commendable manner on April 17th, at the home of Dorothy Smith. Baccalaureate Address The Baccalaureate Address was delivered by Reverend Dean George Garbett Ware of the St. Matthews Episcopal Church on the evening of Sunday, May 17. Commencement The Graduates were addressed by Chancellor Avery of the Nebraska University on May the 22nd. The same occasion saw the presentation of diplomas by Superintendent W. R. Pate of the City Schools of Public Instruction.

THE SPUD 19. Class of 1915 Orville Davenport .......1................................President Donald Graham..............................Secretary and Treasurer He,en Hewett...........................................Class Editor The Junior-Class of 1915 have contributed much to the success of this season 1913-14. Having had our number increased by the entrance of Hazel Sheldon, Irma Lotspeich, and Roy Armstrong, besides the return of Elting Bennett and Lura Hawkins, we are now about 35 strong. We have furnished representatives for every High School activity. In Athletics, to the number of four for the Boys Basket Ball Team, five for the Girls Basket Ball Team; so winning the High School championship in Basket Ball class games on March 12, which great victory was celebrated with a “Weenie Roast” and a “Watch-Fire”, visible for a long distance. In Literary lines, to the number of one for debating one for declamatory, and five for the “Spud” Staff. In the orchestra! we have three members and we exhibited our artistic talents further in a remarkable manner by the staging of “In a College Town” during the Thanksgiving holidays. Needless to state we have great hopes of future success. Our class, we hope, may furnish the very best example of a graduating class and shall stand as a precedent to all coming classes. For we shall have delegates at every scholastic meet, so making our class one long to be remembered. In all, as Juniors, we are proud of our achievements, giving due thanks to our class sponsor, Miss Sherdeman, and as Seniors, we have aspirations still higher with regard to benefitting the Alliance High School. If Diamond Dyes will September Morn?” Scooper—Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale, said of youth at a tea in New Haven: “I find youth modest, almost over-modest. I don’t agree with the accepted idea of youth that is epitomized in the anecdote. According to this anecdote, an old man said to a youth : “ ‘My boy, when I was your age I thought, like you, that I knew it all, but now I have reached the conclusion that I know nothing.’ ” “ ‘Hm! I reached that conclusion about you years ago.’ ” —Chicago Record-Herald.
