These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago June 20, 1918 Simplicity and economy marked commencement exercises at Anaheim Union high school last Thursday night. Instead of the gay costly attire of former years each student was clothed in the collegiate gown and mortar board. Henry Dalton was the only one not wearing he gown as he is wearing Uncle Sam's naval uniform and is not permitted to conceal it. When he filed past to receive his diploma he was given an ovation by the audience. Prof. Prince announced that Henry Mang, a junior college graduate, is also in the navy and could not be present. The class roll is as follows: Ailene Adams, Avis Edna Barfoot, George Betzsold, Grace Bleck, Margaret Cole, Harriette Corwin, Henry Dalton, Stanley Falkenstein, Fearl Filer, Maria Fisher, Earle Gilbert, Ralph Gildea, Ralph Goodale, Helen Hedstrom, Edna Hochuli, Bernard Hoyt, Alice Huhn, Rudolf Jacobsen, Elmer Janss, Elva Jansen, Edith Jensen, Gladys Jessup, Johanna Jessurun, Faye Alice Kern, Margaret Lawrence, Hazel McFarland, Norma Meckes, Vera Meckes, Erma Mills, Florence Meyers, Mary Owens, Harold Ross, Frances Schmidt, Elizabeth Smith, Lula Smith, Teresa Standlee, Grace Steele, Arthur Stock, Alice Tardy, Gladys Thomason, Erma Waidler, Emily White, John Wilson, Arthur Willett. The 141st anniversary of the birth of Old Glory was fittingly celebrated by the Anaheim Elks at high school auditorium Friday evening. Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney of Los Angeles 50 Years Ago June 22, 1893 The Bank of Anaheim closed its doors at noon yesterday. A steady drain of coin had been in progress for two weeks and yesterday shortly after banking hours no money was left on hand to pay checks presented at the counter. The present unsettled condition of the money market, the panicky feeling throughout the east, extending to this coast and culminating in the wreck of the banks at Riverside and San Bernardino, and the crash in Los Angeles yesterday, when all but two of the banks were forced to suspend payment is the cause of the closing down of the institution. The suspension of 'the First National Bank of Los Angeles yesterday had a direct effect upon the bank here. The First National had always been regarded as one of the safest institutions in the state, and a day or two ago was understood to have received a million dollars in gold to stem the tide of the constantly increasing outflow. For some days past the First National had been unable to render any assistance. I. W. Hellman arrived in Los Angeles yesterday with half a million in gold for the Farmers & Merchants Bank and the bank has money enough to pay depositors who wish to draw out. A report prevailed that the First National Bank of Santa Ana had suspended but this report was unfounded. Two banks at San Diego failed yesterday afternoon. The financial panic seems to be general throughout Southern California and it is impossible to say where it will end. NON OF California State Guard, in charge of recruiting in five Southwestern California counties, addressed the Seal Beach unit of Pacific Coast Riflemen at their recent meeting, with regard to the formation of a local unit of the State Guard.

She never gave up the belief that her Air Corps pilot husband was safe. News of his present whereabouts came over a Japanese radio station in Java and was picked up by short wave listeners in San Francisco and Monrovia. He stated that he was recovering from burns incurred when his plane caught fire over the island of Bali and he bailed out and was taken prisoner. NAMED TO POST SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO—C.
