LWHS decided against graduation speeches. Charlotte Holm was valedictorian and the Holms got the school to reconsider. She spoke on service to others. The Holms were humiliated in 1926. Johnson Inkvuist, the banker, arranged for the King of Norway to visit LW. Much yard work was done in LW, even by the Germans. Forty children learned six Norwegian songs. Then Mr. Inkvuist decided that the King should just visit his home, have coffee and take a nap. Just twelve people were invited for the coffee. The Holms and the Ringnes weren't invited and never spoke to the Inkvuists again. The King got sick from 12 lutefisk dinners and couldn't come. Count Carl came instead so they had the dinner and the children's choir sang. He slept through the singing, gave ashort speech and left. The bad feelings finally died. Luther Ringnes gave a furnace to the church. He and Pastor Inkvuist dedicated it to Paul's parents.
