First undertaking was to undertake the proper observance of Memorial Day. It was to include a parade forming at the schoolhouse of veterans of all wars, school children and lastly citizens of the community. They were to march to the cemeteries where graves of old soldiers were decorated with flowers by the school children. In the afternoon, a fine address was given in the Municipal Building by Roger Campbell of Aberdeen. Only two remaining War Veterans – Mr. Odell and Mr. Coats occupied the position of honor in the center of the platform. Proceeding the speaker flowrers were distributed to all the Veterans.
In the summer of 1925, The State Convention was held in Milbank. Dr. Paulson and Harold Cundiff arranged a float which received honorable mention. It was unique in that it showed a wheat field, a number of male pheasants and otherwise portrayed the rural life of this community. I believe the man on the left is Cundiff Dr. Paulson at the right.
