THE DAILY REPUBLIC, Mitchell, S. Saturday, June 5, 1965 Page Thred ftic 0 By DICK RICCI Daily Republic City Editor Mitchell High School's commencement Wednesday night went off without a hitch INDOORS after the weatherman put a wet damper on bac- caulareate Sunday night. The Rev. Dwayne F. Knight, pastor of the First Methodist Church in Mitchell was to give the baccalaueate address but the sudden showers put a halt to the proceedings before he even got up to the microphone.

The next day, Dr. Knight took time out to sit down and write the following poem, which I'm reprinting here. He mused "As I reflected on the washout Sunday night at Kernel Stadium I thought how good rain is and yet how good it will be to have the Corn Palace in full use, so I penned a few lines, and added them to old familiar lines: "Rain, rain, go away Come again some other day. When the Palace is all done Then no one from you will run. Seniors then will have no fear Of rain drops on their new coif' fure.

Then your visits, day or night Will never put our crowds to flight. Hain, Rain do come back When we are all in off the track!" While on the topic of commencement, my apologies to the faculty and seniors of Notre Dame High School. My assistant, Roy Lordahl, who has now returned to his home in New York, was to staff the graduation program and take photos. However, he went out of town that afternoon and told me the next morning he did not return in time to cover the And still on commencement two former Mitchellites found themselves on the same program at Centerville High School. The Rev.

Arnold Herbst, Sioux Falls, former pastor of the First Methodist Church in Mitchell, gave the commencement address and the baccalaureate sermon was delivered by the Rev. James Michael Doyle, former assistant pastor of Holy Family Church here. Arthur F. Brooks, a former teacher at Junior High School here and the brother of George Brooks and Mrs. Russeel Petersdorf of Mitchell, has accepted a new post as principal of a new Junior high school in Wisconsin.

Brooks was principal of Watertown Junior High for the past eight years. Henry Lucken this week got his Polaroid camera back one and one-half years after the camera mysteriously disappeared. The bakery purchased the camera about 18 months ago to use to photograph wedding cakes, etc. After taking only about two or three pictures, it was put up on a shelf. A man who was em- ployed at the bakery left his job and the camera disappeared about the same time.

This week, Lueken got a package in the mail. There was no address, no signature and no message just the camera! We received word this week that Vern Geddes, a former resident of this community, is recovering from injuries received in a car accident Feb. 16 while riding with a friend. Geddes, who now lives at 1205 Wilshire Las Vegas, was hospitalized for three and one-half months but was recently released and is now home with his wife, children and his mother. He reportedly gets around in a wheel chair.

I'm sure he would appreciate any cards or letters from his friends here. Just send them to the address listed above. I was over at Wally Overbaugh's home the other night when two of his youngsters trotted into the studio. One of the boys complained to his father, "Dad, Mark took my gum off the dresser." Wally turned around, sent the lad upstairs and told Mark to remain in the studio. After the older boy had gone upstairs, Wally turned to his younger son and asked "Mark, why did you take his gum off the dresser?" The boy promptly and curtly replied, 'Cause he wasn't looking!" out of the mouth of babes!

Record Signup In '65 Feed Grain Program Final reports on the 1965 Feed Grain Program signup confirm a new record in numbers of enrolled farms, intended acreage diversion, and amount of feed grain base acreage on signed farms, according to Clyde Puetz, chairman, Davison County Agricul tural Stabilization and Conser vation Committee.

Arend's mother iecls America is very large and was awed at the open spaces of South Dakota. "South Dakota," Arend explained, "is nearly six times the size of Holland, but Holland has 12 million people in that small area so you can visualize how densely populated it is." The cities in Holland were all built during the Middle Ages and the streets are extremely narrow and crooked. As a result, Mrs. Geldof was particularly thrilled about the wide streets and "many beautiful cars" in America.

She explained that most of the transportation in Holland is by a large network of trains turn to Holland on June 15.1 similar to the subway system Arend who received his B.A. in New York.
