The gift was received on behalf of the students of the high school by Eckley Guerin, 'new elected student hody president. A. 8. Dunham, principal of the righ school, presented Ruth Kun- nes, Harold Hanson, Mary Jean Mc- Narighton, and Ann Campbell with their, gold Torch Society pins. A certificate was presented to Millie Marie Jorgenson, who has been neither absent nor tardy for the past eight years, and to Harold Hanson, who has been neither ab- sent nor tardy for five consecutive years. The class of 1938 was then turned over for the presentation of diplo- mas, to the president of the school board, R. E. Robertson, who wel- comed them into the ranks as citi- zens of the United States. As the playing of the “Bill Board March” by the high school orches- tra, the graduates filed off the stage, to receive the congratulations of their .proud parents and many friends. Informal Dance Following the commencement ex- ercises, an informal dance was given by the class at the Scottish Rite “Temple. Invitations for the affair were issued to parents and friends of the graduates. SN NR Nun}é Man's Widow Becomes Poetess Emma Ring Daly, widow of James p. Daly, former Territorial Legisla- tor from Nome, and long-time Al- askzn, who recently passed away, has brad published a book of verse in his mewory, entitled, “Flowering Agat Attractively bound with a blue leather cover, the book’s first- glance appeal is strong. Reading through from first page to last page, the first impression grows to a fine feeling that what you have read in soft lyrical words is deep insight into the heart of a pen- wielder of profound perception. Emma Ring Daly has written a book of poetry of which Alaska, which claims her, will be proud. Each successive verse snowballs the touch of nostalgia and the reflec- ' leader,” wonder if anybody thinks I've got time—or could make any money— qixing’ all the people that handle these raw materials from the time I get ‘em until the building is ap- proved by the architect.” ‘Leader? No Time’ That’'s McCloskey’s reply to charges thrown at him by the vet- eran Democratic party leader in Pennsylvania, Senator Joe Guffey. Guffey broke with the regular Democratic organization to back a CIO labor candidate for gover- nor. Guffey’s man lost. “I haven't got time to be a party says McCloskey. “I can't leave my business long enough to see all the people a leader has to see. § “Joe Guffey can sit at ythe head of the table, as far as I am con- cerned. But now that things are as they are, I've told him I am going to be on hand.” McCloskey’s career is ample proof that he can fight. He is one of sev- eral children in a large Irish Catho- li¢c’' Philadelphia family. The family fortunes waned when he was still a youngster, so at 15 he quit school and went to work for an uncle who was a contractor.

The World War gave him a shot at sev- edal bonuses on navy building con- tracts, and except for one serious reverse, the sailing from then on was easier. In 1932 he was attracted to the Roosevelt banner, and contributed to the party; although he had been a registered Republican for a cou- ple of years.

He admires President Roosevelt, but he’s not pleased with some of the Federal government’s tax poli- cies, and would substitute another scheme for social security taxes. He's got his own pet ideas on the subject of taxation, insisting that the government is a business the same as his own and can be run the same way. e, GOODIE SALE By Methodist Ladies’ Aid, Saturday, June 11, at Bert's Cash Grocery. adv.
