1936: Randolph youth to perform at eighth grade promotion

May 20, 1926

RANDOLPH - The biggest three day culling demonstration ever held in Cedar County is scheduled for May 26-28, when J. H. Claybaugh of the extension department of the state university will be here to conduct a three day tour.

On Wednesday, May 26, the Wilson farm, 2 miles east and ½ mile south of Randolph will be visited at 9:00. Mr. Wilson specializes in Rhode Island Reds. That afternoon at 1:30, the party will go to the Arthur Grandt farm, 6 miles north of Randolph. Mr. Grandt is also a raiser of Rhode Island Reds.

The evening of the 26th, a big meeting will be held in Randolph, at which time Mr. Claybaugh will try to answer questions put to him concerning the raising and care of chickens.

On May 27, the company will go to the John Schneiders farm, 9 miles north and 1 mile west of Hartington. Mr. Schneiders is a raiser of Leghorns. In the afternoon the Fred Arens farms adjoining Wynot will be visited. That evening a meeting similar to the other night meetings will be held at the high school auditorium.

On May 28 the third day of the demonstration, the Harry Peterson farm, 2 miles north of Belden will be visited and the P. J. Keiffer place, ½ mile west of Lost Lake, at 1:30 in the afternoon. Mr. Peterson raises Leghorns, and Mr. Keiffer’s favorite breed is White Wyandottes.

That evening a meeting will be of great value to all those that attend as a question box will be held.

Mr. Claybaugh will also speak on different seasonable topics, feeding of baby chicks, poultry yard sanitation, summer feeding and many other timely poultry subjects.

HARTINGTON - Two hundred and sixty-two eighth grade boys and girls from the schools of Cedar county will march by County Supt. J. Mike McCoy and receive diplomas this evening at the promotion exercises in the Hartington auditorium, at 8 o’clock.

This number will include 13 honor pupils having an average grade of 95 and over.

While 13 is generally considered an unlucky number, none of the honor pupils are strenuously objecting to it on this occasion.

The address will be delivered by Herbert L. Cushing, deputy state superintendent of education and a program of musical numbers and readings will also be carried out.

The processional will be played by Elizabeth Stone Carlson; Jack Hertert of Holy Trinity parochial school will sing, Jack Byergo of Randolph high school will give a baritone solo.
