INTERESTING HISTORY
Concerning the fast Graduates  of  tlie
Clare Publio Schools.
The following interesting Alumni
history was reaclby Miss Minnie Presley at the alumni banquet of 1898:
Members of Altipmt and Friends;—
Once, at least, in tbe bistory ot each one of
us there has been a ripple in the smooth current
of our life. We glide smoothly along until vra
reach a point where we __ustlauncUout-orou_.
selves.
*We make the flrst chapter of our lives with
but little thought of the^records we are leaving
umil we Suddenly realize that this has an end
and that we must take apart ourselves in framing the success or failure of the succeeding
ohapters of our lite.
A happy and most opportune time for this important undertaking is when we leave high
-u.hQ.l life and its influences.
From our high school there have been graduated thirty-eight young people who cannot help
but have nobler aspirations than Lhose who did
not complete the first chapter or their life in
school.
Winnie Merrill has the honor of being the
flrst to complete tho ten grade course, then required, when in 1887 she launched out to meet
tho responsibilities of life. After a year or
more of teaching, one year of which was spent
in tbehome school, she became weary with the
work and ia 1S91 became Mrs, Wm. Tasker, now
ot Ludington.
Ia tiro years four young ladies who had bee^
under the guidance of Prof. S. O. Wood succeeded in finishing the school course and became gradua tes of "ur school—Bertha Feighner,
Eva Harris, Dora Loomis and Jennie Sexsmith.
This was a rather peculiarly fitted out class
and we would imagine Prof. Wood might have
been in a hurry in tho make-up as there were
none of the sterner sex in it. However, they
bore their battles bravely and finally received
their diplomas. Since that time I think each of
them have had some experience in teaching,
but Miss Loomis alone remains faithful to tho
•calling. Her motto is "Higher" and she is
steadily mounting that way, For nine years
she has taught with success in Clare county,
but Ior the past year has been attending school
at Big Rapids.
Miss Feighner was for some years the very
efficient bookkeeper in J, F, Tatman's store.
She still makes Clare her home and by her
womadly ways has made everyone her friend.
Eva Harris still lives at Clare tho' now she is
Mr«. *. Borgardus. In 1893 this bachelor lad
sau v- -uldn't do his own cooking succeeded in
j,.r*-u.ding her to de to for him.
Jennie Sexsmith can be found holding an important position at Davy's store. For a little
time she too was a teacher, but ui w for -several years sho has been employed as -saleslady.
So though nine years have passed we do not
find this class separated, but all still making
Clare their home.
In the following year, lsoo, the first chapter
for eight more of Clare's young people was lin-
i.hed— Euceba Hall, Laura Holbrook, Lillie
DeCoo, Matie McKinley, Alton Burnliam,
<Jeorge Sexsmith, Guy T. Louch and Edgar
Welch. This class may be remembered us the
largest one that has ever graduated from our
high school.
Out of this number olx became teachers. It
is interesting to note where the different ones
are ana bow they are filling up the new chapter
of life. Three, Euceba Hall, Guy T. Louch and
E. G. Welch are still making Clare their home.
Two of them are married—Miss Hal! attach, d a
Eeed tn'95 and Mr. Louch married Miss Etta
May, one of Clare's young ladies.
Mrs. Reed has taught with urn-emitting zeal
for a large number of years (the number does
not bear repeating) but has now decided that
jit labors in tho scholastic lino nre m an end.
We regret very much to lose such a successful
whole-souled teacher as Mrs. Heed.
Mr, Welch has also very successively taught
foS five years—besides being a graduate from
our home school he, in 1897, alpo graduated
from thc State Normal at Ypsilanti. He believes in tho adage "There's room at the top"
■and is making rapid strides for that place. Although at the present time he feels our country's call deserves first notice and is about to
place himself in Imminent danger in answer to
Mat call, we trust his return to us will bo In
safety and hope theie'U tesucharow of Spanish
scalps on his belt as will satisfy the most wai-
like of us.
Going farther from home we find Matie jjfe-
Kialey at Albion preparing herself to work in
foreign lands. "For other scenes her heart had
learned to prize, more beat to raise the wretched than to rise." She too was one of our suc-
«.ss.u) teachers.
After several years of teaching, both in this
state and in Virginia, Lillie DeCoo decided to
JjMake the profession and now at Frankfort
she is fast becoming a rival of the famous
Worth.
After his graduation George Sexsmith found
his f ivorite work to be—not among books, but
among drugs so after careful preparation he became a druggist in the city of Chicago.
Alton Burnham, rising from a coun try school,
became a graduate of our city school also of tbe
Agricultural College, took a post graduate
course at the University of Michigan, and
spent a year abroad studying in Germany.
One from this class was called *away 'ere the
new chapter was scarcely begun—Miss Laura
Bfolbrook, whose gentle, winning ways made
every one her friend, has gone to that higher
school "Where she no longer needs our poor
protection and God himself dotb rule."
In 1891, the honors which wait at labor's gate
-vere bestowed upon Leslie Louch, Albert May-
_iard, Edna Elden, Nelly Kane and Allie Evahs.
Miss Elden became a successful teacher, a
good cyclist, a model storekeeper and last
month became a married woman. Mrs. EUanna-
gan believed in the bible that "It Is not good
for man to live alone, consequently she and
Mr. B*. will moke their /attire home at the
"Queen City" of the West,
Mis.. Evans also decided to no longer "paddle
her own. canoe" or the young hopefuls of America either, so she became Mrs. Hudson.
After nlaking Glare his home for many years
and after four years as assistant postmaster
Mr. Maynatd, who was married to Miss Laura
Tower in'9B, removed to Onaway, He is now
engaged in real estate work.
One from this class, also, has laid down his
young life and the hew chapter, _.gun he. _, is
being finished wheto the great Designer may
jaake it more complete--.Leslie _____*_, th.
friend of every one, was called away shortly af*
ter his graduation.
A young lady who has resided so long In
Clare as Miss Nellie Kane and whom we all
knowsowejl, needs no introduction to us. Miss
Kane's home haa been in Clare for many years
and I'm inclined to believe it will be for some
time to come. .She is now employed in connection with tbe Central Telephone.
Tho following year, 1893, thqre was no graduating class as the course had been raised from
ten to twelve grades apd additional work imposed, caused by moving to the new building,
consequently not until the following year does
tho class complete the prescribed course. This
class of '93 was the first to complete the sohool
work under Prof. Hutchison's management.
Previous to this Prof. Palmer had been the
able superintendent who had guided tlie young
people through the labyrinth of books and
book lore. The olass was composed of James
Hersey, Anna B. Stevens, Carrie Rockafellow,
Lydia Ort and Louise Bruske. Three of the
class, after en joying life free from school for a
timo, have settled down to married life. Carrie
K. became the wife of Mr, H. Stroupe and resides at Grand Blanc, Miss Stevens became
Mrs. F. Lister and still -Makes Clare ber home.
James Hersey hns become a Benedict and set-
f tied down to life on a farm.
Miss Bruske, who has taught successively In
our city school for four years, and Miss Ort are
still enrolled upon the list as "Wall flowers,"
They are not liable to follow in the steps of
their class mates—Miss B., especially, as she
knows her place and intends to keep it. Miss
Ort has taught several years, but is now at Al
bum attending college.

and Raleigh Giberson loft
|p high school and completed "The First Chapter" the succeeding year, 1891, and amid best
wishes from many friends commenced the
"Now Chapter" of their lives.
Surely there is nothing more noble than to
see a young man preparing to benefit mankind
by securing an education. These young men
deserve praise for standing alone and by hord
efforts reaching the desired goal.
Mr, Sutherland has, since that time, attended
school at Olivet, but for two years has been
very faithful as an employee of the Clare Co,
Savings Bank.
Mr, Giberson is now holding a responsible position for Bdson, Moore & Co. of Detroit.
In 189. there was graduated a class to which -HI
each member is proud to helong—Clark Giberson, Christie McDonald, Clara Bruske, Nellie
Presley and Mianie M, Presley. Only five in
number yet each one went to hew his wav to
fortune as was predicted by Mr Giberson in
his oration. DHow we have succeeded so far can
be easily seen,
Mr. Giberson, who has for the year been
"president" of the Dover '•university," has secured a higher position and next year we may
exnect to see Prof. W. C. Giberson, Baldwin,
Mich., on liis cards. He has tho untiring energy
which will cause hint ta become an honor to
himself And his class.
, Miss McDonald became a successor to Miss
Bresley at Ton. in school and is becoming very
■fieccessory to the teaching force of CUre county.
Miss Bruske, the poetess and cyclist, adds
another accomplishment to her list—that of be-
ina a successful teacher. During the past year
she has won an enviable reputation at Wolverine and next year finds her located as one of
the teaching force of Cheboygan.
Misses Nellie, and Minnie M. Presley have
taught continuosly for the past two years and I
believe one of tho greatest enjoyments we find
is In the school room. Each of us will train
the young idea In our city school for the coming
year.
Last year, 1S97, Jessie Davis and Oscar Fi.h-
ley were added to our number and they both be
came pedagogues of Clare county. Needless to
say, they have both been very successful and
will probably continue to do so in the coming
years.
This year six more young people became a
part of the Alumni—Hoy Lamb, Frank Louch,
Clifford Clark, Missc3 Alina Tatman, 'Maude
Whitside and Mabel Weir. Of these wo can
give no history as yet—that is a part of the
Future, to be wrought out by their own hard
efforts. May it bo such as will reflect honor on
themselves, the class, and the alumni.
Looking at thehistoryof the tlurty-two previous graduates we find that twenty-two have,
during some time In their life, taught school.
Twelve are active teachers today and of this
number ten hold secopd grade certificates or
better. Besides twelve teachers, we have three
salesladies, one druggist, one farmer, seven
housewives, one blacksmith, one real estate
agent and two attending college.
We, as members of tbe alumni, -may take
pride in this record. It shows that the influence of school, teachers and classmates has been
of an'ennobling character and we trust that as
succeeding years bring new ones among us, our
society may be bettered and each of us take a
pl.t in "making the world better."

Thirteen Young Patriots Loave Home and.
Friends,
Thursday, June 30,1898, marked an
interesting event in the lives of thirteen young men who left home and
friends and every dear tie to offer
their services in tbe battle for the
right. The names of these young nn-
triats who left Glare are Aaron Eosen-
.Qial, Edgar G. Welch, Ulifford Olark,
Eddie W. Fine, James E. Bulman, Eli
Bugbee, Geo. A. Eobinson, Geo, A.
Thurlow, Zopher E. Yoder, Geo, A,
Bowen, Aloert J, Wilson and Donald
McKinley, The Olare hoys were
joined here by 45 boys from Midland,
all leaving on the afternoon Ann Arbor train for Ithaca-where they joined
the rest of the company and where
they were to be examined. Word has
since been received that everyone of
the Olare boys passed a good exannna*
tion. Erom Ithaca they go to Island
Lake to be mustered into the 35th
regiment, and will probably in a short
time be called to the front.
On their departure from here the
boys were given a cheering goodby by
our citizens who turned out to wish
^hem good fortune and a safe return.
The boys formed in line at the Calkins
under the direction of Captain Thorburn and made a good appearance as
they marched to the depot;, led by the
Nbrbbey martial baud. Here each soldier lad was presented with a boquet
of beautiful flowers by the ladies.
And some were fortunate enough to re-
ceive a sweet goodby kiss.
May everyone prove a hero and have
a safe return!
SERIOUS LOSSES.
A Letter From Mr. Olds.
a Green Bay, Wis., June 24, '98.
Dear Eriends:-—When we left our
dear old home and friends in Olare we
expected to be on the road to this
place at least two days, but we were
happily disappointed, and we reached
Green Bay in 11 hours from the time
we left our home.
We had a very pleasant time and
want to say if anyone wants to come
west they had better come by tbe way
of Ludington and take tho magnificent ferry boat, which, by the way, is
an elegant boat and is perfect in its
finish and accomodation. Go to Manitowoc, making the run in Ave hours,
then the JSforbh Western to any point
in the west, north or south. The car
service is all one could wish and the
service is splendid.
It rained most of tho time for three
days after we arrived here and it was
Cry cold, but no frost but since it is
ry nice and everything is looking
splendid, and strawberries, Oh, I can*,
describe them, and will only say there
seems no end to tbem and every kind
!«? fruit is in the market. The can-
jfyfiuK factory is in mil blast and the
peas are being canned in large quantities.

Last Friday's Wind and Fires Cause Much
Uatnage to Property.
A severe wind set in early last Friday morning which continued all that
day and most of Saturday and Sutjday.
The wind was at its severest Eriday
afternoon and night and fanned small
forest tires into mighty ones. A number of losses are reported. Dr. L. L.
Keller of Earwell had fine large buildings on his ranch near Bear Lake
which were licked up by the flames, together with a number of hogs, chickens, machinery, etc. Mr. Richmond',
who lives on the ranch, was burned
out, losing everything.
Dwyer and Hubel, who are lumbering in Arthur, lost their camps and a
small amount of lumber in piles, also
about 100 chickens and a William goat.
Messrs. Bartlett, Meyers, Whiting
and Gardener of ITorth Arthur also
lost their homes by fire and it is reported that in each case nearly all
household articles Were burned. One
of the houses had just been built. The
flre leaves these people in bad circumstances.
Jos. Presley of Grant lost a barn and
a new double harness.
It is said that Hatton was saved
from destruction by heavy rains.
