ARCATA UNION, JUNE 5, 1945. PAGE 3 Z ARCATA HIGH TO GRADUATE 200 FRIDAY Largo class to receive their shvcpskins The high school auditor- ium will be the scene of commencement next Fri- day evening. Two hundred will rcceive their diplomas from Principal Chester Groom. The honorary speaker of the evening will be Mrs. George Piebald Hy- potenuse, formerly Miss Constance Brett, a. gradu- ate of Arcata high with the class of 1925, and now recognized as the wor1d's greatest poet. Mrs. Hyjo- tenuse's fame is due to a new jazzo-rhythmus meter in poetry, the inspir- ation for which she attri- butes to her flapper days in Arcata. The most popular of her poems with its re- curring refrain Oh boy!- U-U-U-reka boy! is claim- ed by critics to be the most onomatapoetic of modern verse. QEureka, it will be re- membered by the old tim- ers, was the county seat, but now forms the ' southern- most part of this city.l The honor roll of the Senior class which has been announced, includes the following: Morris Nelson, Jr., Regi- nald Nelson, Len Yocom, Elleva Hemphill, and Shiekla Groom. We are indeed glad that our principal's daughter, Shiekla, has achieved this distinction, for she has thereby justified her fath- er's theory and proved that his act of eliminating all mathematics from grade and high school curricula- an act which has revolution- ized educational methods throughout the nation, was the most important pro- gressive school movement of the century. We are in- deed grateful to Mr. Groom for sacrificing his Broad- way career and returning to us. PERSONALS William Tuohey, lawyer, reported last evening that his S100,000 yacht, McKit- trick, was stolen from the Arcata slough yesterday. Chief of Police Daven Dev- lin already has several in custody. 1 UN ION EDITOR RECEIVES FAR AWAY LETTER The morning mail has brought word from Nora, Raab that she now is locat- ed at the South Pole, where she is doing missionary work and boosting the Red- woodless Highway among the Wosquimos. She re- ports cold weather in the south, but she likes her work so well that weather has no effect on her. Miss Raab left Arcata several years ago.

Phase to build factory Miss Lottie Chase, a re- nt visitor to Arcata, hcr home town, has announced the purchase of a large tract of land near the Hanrahan ce residential district in Kneeland Prairie, fro111 Mrs. Bohunkus Pease Por- ridge, nee Helen Hanrahan, of Arcata. Miss Chase plans to leave at once for the Panama Canal, where she will marry and then return to Arcata to start work on a factory that will manu- facture women's wigs. The wig craze, which has supplanted the bobbed hai1', is rapidly increasing in popularity. It is rumored that our Chamber of Com- merce Secretary, Harold Hemphill, has ordered a special one for his wife. We suggest that he needs one for himself. The coming of the new factory will do a great deal in putting Arcata on the women's apparel map. VVUXTRA! ! ! Several thousand people in the vicinity of the Arcata plaza saw a. rare sight yes- terday when James Parton, rancher in Trinity County, rode into town on a. four- footed animal, formerly called a horse. The two are lodged in the Hotel Ar- cata, where they are on ex- hibition. COMING!!
