SLUGGERS
ROMPS
On Booker Thursday, Score
9-2, and Deteats Cana-
dian 8-3 Sunday,
Mitchel Hurles
-the "Pill"
Owing to the fact that the Fol-
lett and Booker game was called
off on account of rain on May 13,
which was played last Thursday
on our local diamond here which -
resulted in a victory of 9-2 in
favor of Follett. Up to date the
Sluggers have been the only team
that has ever defeated Booker.
Booker has a mighty fine line of
player* this year and at present
they have first place in the lea-
gue, while Follett and Gage are
tied for second-place. Mitchfcl
who is employed by the Pan-
handle Lumber Company of this
city and who has been pitching
the last two games proved to be a
real match, and showed much
skill in tossing the "pill" in the
last two games played here and
waa backed by everyone of the
bovs on the team. 0. C. Bell,
manager of the Booker Base Ball
Club tells us that Fol'ett plays
good clean baseball and that they
would justas'soon have the Slug-
gers defeat them as any other
team in the League.
Sunday, May 20th, Follett de-
feated Canadian by a score uf 8
to 3 at bur local Baseball Park
before a dandy good crowd.

Well Attended
"The Village Band" that was
put on by the Follett Band drew
a fair sized crowd at the High
School Auditorium last Friday
night. It was a scream from
start to finish and we hope the
band will put on another enter-
tainment sometime in the near
future. The concert rendered by
the entire band was also splendid,
as well as tha solo numbers
rendered by Elmer Johnson, Ezra
Bhrlich and Mrs. Leon Coutney.
Lime Light takes K's hat off to the
twenty-seven members who put
on the program. Mr. Clark the in
structor of ihe band is due
much praise in the way he has
instructed the band.
Large Crowd Attended
A large crowd of the
good people attended the
piano recital presented
by Mr. Christy's Progressive
Series Peam Students at the High
School Auditorium Tuesday night
everyone that attended seem-
ed to be well pleased with the
recital. A great deal of praise is
due Mr. Christy in the way he
has taught his students in music
in the Follett Public Schools dur-
ing the past year.

Baccalaureate
Services Draws
Large Crowd
The Auditorium was packed
with the many good people from
far and near who attended the
baccalaureate exercises Sunday
morning. A very excellent vocal
duet was rendered by the Misses
Mary Powell and Pearl Fox, after
which Mr. Dan M. Curb, of
Shattuck, Okla., delivered to the
good people and the "lucky 13"
a very impressive sermon which
pleased all.
1 am the classroom. My floors
lie prostrate beneath your feet
while you in your heartless, pur-
suit of knowledge tread upon
them. The halls re-echo the hun-
dreds of foot steps as you pass
this way. You who came four
short years ago; some in groups
chatting gayly; others of you
came alone silently, ambition
bent. You have been with in my
walls for four years, and now you
are leaving my door not to return
to me, "Your beloved classroom,"
next fall, as you have done in
years gone by. The sound of
your gay voices I shall hear no
more. Perhaps some of you will
return now and then "• yes, but
your voices will not have the
same old gay ring. Because
your High School Spirit will be
gone.
I am the classroom—I am old;
I am weary; I am worn. The
feet of the passing throng have
beaten my floor and broken me,
and my wounds cry out with a
hollow moan as you pass ruthless-
ly on. I have given up many
classes in years gone by, I loved
them all. Then came you the
class of "11J28", of which a lucky
"13" has survived. I am especial-
ly proud of you, because you are
the largest class that has ever
past out of my door, in the his-
tory of the building in which I
am. I hate to see you go but the
time has come when you
must join them who have gone
before 'you. Ydu are about to
pass out into the wide, wide,
world never to return. You
have gone thru these passed four
yearsjn groups, hand in hand,
facing the future together, but
now you have reached the point
when you must singly fight life's
battles, and leave hehind your
footprints on my floor. You
have worn away the thickness of
my floor, you have carved and
marked my furniture and broken
me—yet I love you and shall
yearn for.your return. The halls
shall not be quite as gay with out
your voices. I love each passing
footstep, each different voice. 1
shall miss you. You are my chil-
dren, The time has come when
vou have passed over my floor for
the last and final time in your
High School career, and my
wounds cry out with a moan, as
you pass out into the wide, wide,
world.—Edwin W. Spitzer.
Shower Monday
A shower was given in honor of
Alis* Powell who finished a very
successful terra in the Follett
.Public Schools here yesterday
morning, at the pleasant home ot
Mrs. Elver Glasgow Monday
afternoon. A large * number
of friends were in attend-
ance and it is said everyone that
was present had a very enjoyable
afternoon. Miss Powell received
many beautiful gifts from her
many friends here. And it has
come over the ''gas ' pipes" that
the little lady is to be married
soon. At a late-hour delicious
refreshments, were served to the
guests after which all departed
for their homes wishing Miss
Powell the very best of good luck.
