to show the
1>
High   School   Commencement   a
Thing of the Past.
Though the weather was extremely
oppressive Thursday evening, tbe
opera house was iilled to its utmost
capacity. The stage was basbiiy deeo-
rabed wibh lace curbains, pobbed flowers
*#and ferns, and hanging from bhe ceiling jusb over the stage was the bold
letters, "Class 1901," the decorabing
having been under bhe supervision of
J. G. Roxburg.
The Power of Liberabure was the
theme on which Miss ijaace Thompson
addressed the audience and her effort
showed tbat she had thoughtfully
studied her production, which was well
reeieved.
Arthur A. Whitside's subject was
The Future of the Anglo-Saxon, and
into his article he wove a considerable
of history, and showed that the Anglo-
Saxon is paramount in the civilizing
influence of the world,
himself well.
A character sketch of
lard is a topic which
excellent opportunity
important part a woman can play in
life's drama, and Miss Lillie D, Wager
brought oub some strong points showing whac a woman endowed witb a
wiil to elevate humanity, can do, and
her efforts wore well received.
Ethel B. Stevens was giftorian and
•the part she played in the evening's
exercises was indeed pleasing. Every
gift she made had a significance in it
which all tbe members of the class
and many of the audience well understood.
An essay o.n The Women Who Win
•was delivered by Edna M. Clark. She'
sighted several noble women who have
jjeen powers in the world for good.
Her's was an excellent production.
-.BooketT, Washington, the Moses of
Ms people, the colored man who
■s&ds as the foremost educator of his
race, the man who is bricging bis
people rapidly to the understanding
tbat if they succeed they must be energetic, was the subject of the oration
of Albert M. Cornwell, and his deliv-
etv was good.
Too much praise cannot well be accredited Agnes J. Maloney on her
lotion, Our Country. Miss Maloney's
•fleJlyery was almost faultless and her
fsrefluctiOB contained profound
,-. D&ought. ,
The Class Farewell by A. Peal
Dwyer was necessarily sprinkled' witb
sadness, bub bhrough all this there
shone rays of light, and gladness that
her classmates had done so much as
well as tbey have. Miss D-vyer's
effort was well received.
Tbe music of the evening was fine-
Mr. Rose of Evart sane a classic solo,
and Miss Cora C. Burr of Saginaw
rendered two very pretty solos, while
the program was concluded by a
quartet composed of Mesdames Roxburg and Van Brunt and Messrs.
Buell and Converse. It Is sife to say,
and with their adyanced privileges it
should be so, that this class showed
up better than any preceding class
and was the largest class graduated
with the exception of the class of 1890,
which numbered eight,
THE RECEPTION
As was mentioned would be last
week, the alumni reception was held
at the pleasant and spacious home of
Mr, and Mrs. C. W. Perry. This was
a delightful part of the week of commencement to those attending, and
at this juncture, we wish in behalf of
tbe. alumni to thank Mr. and Mrs.
Perry for the use of their home.
About nine o'clock, headed by Toast-
master Alward and President O. M.
Sutherland of the association a line of
march was formed to tbe Calkins,
where, on tbe beautiful lawn just north
of the hotel were spread the tables in
the form of a capiltal T. Several nice
banquets have been* given in Clare,
bub the very finest ever given was that
given Friday evening. Mr. Alward
said that be had attended many at the
national capital costing from three to
flye dollars a cover, that were not as
well served and as good as this. A
tripod had been erected on the lawn
decorated with the national colors aud
in the top of this was placed an arc
light. The repast was the very daintiest and was served only as the Calkins
corps of waiters are capable of serying,
TOASTS.
Mr. Alward was ab his best, and
those who know what that is on an
occasion like this, know that be kept
tbe banquetters in a mirthful state of
mind. The responses were good and

subjects and speakers: Commencements. Supt, Philip A. Bennett; The
Kingdom of Minerva, Miss Lydia Ort;
Our Absent Ones, C* W. Perry; Oar I
Schools, S. C. Kirkbride; Class of '01,
