out from the Nekoma school to
distinguished work in a variety
of fields, We are proud to say
that a large number of them have
graduated from Jamestown Col-
lege.
"He had many opportunities to
go to larger schools but continued
his service in Nekoma. His fellow-
citizens 'testify that he was not
only a good school man but an
active citizen who helped to plan
or bring about most of the good
things that have happened in that
community.
College Is Proud
"Mr. Parker, Jamestown Col-
lege, is proud to honor you as a
distinguished alumnus, who in his
corner of the state of North Da-
kota has brought great credit to
himself and his family and the

that I present Mr. Parker to re-
ceive the "Citation of Meritorieus

November 24, was chaired by the
warden, the Rev. E. J. B. Harris-
son, in the absence of the presi-
dent and vice-president.
There was a good attendance,

al Chancel Guild meeting held re-
cently in Clinton and that they
had been able to obtain green
markers in the desired shade, and
also a fair linen cloth for the
holy table. A donation was made
by the Chancel Guild to' cover
these items.
The rector advised that it was
possible to obtain a cruet in mat-
ching design to replace the one
broken. It was decided to pur-
chase it.
Plans were made for decora-
ting the church at Christmas, by
members.
Mrs. J. M. Stewart and Mrs. E.

bers were blind-folded and led to
pick a package from the buffet
on which they were piled, There
were two enjoyable contests ar-
ranged by Mrs. Arkell, Mrs. Wil-
liam E. Parker and Mrs. R. Roy
Fitzsimons won prizes in a num-
ber contest and Mrs R. A. Simons
in a guessing game.
