SPONSOR HAPPY
HOLIDAYJEATURE
One Hmidred Fifty Juniors
Enjoy Yuletide Party at
School Gym
  M
The annual Junior party sponsored
by the Clare Study Club occurred
Tuesday evening, December 27th at
the School'' Gymnasium. This event
. has become to Clare what the J. Hop
is to the studdnts" of the University
"at Ann Arbor. The spectators and
young people eonsider that this affair
eclipsed any previous ones. The committee in charge were chairman
Mesdames Susan Hall, Mabel Horton, Mary Green and Mabel Mulder.
The hall was handsomely decorated
with Christmas greens and bells,
evergreen trees grouped in one corner of the room and string of merry
colored balloon hanging from above
down the center of the room.
Mr. Sternaman, our photographer,
threw many colored lights on the
dancers from the gallery at intervals
during the moon light waltzes. Mr.
' afid Mrs. Jay Green dispensed fru.t
punch at a booth during the evening.
Little Carol McGuire kindly served
the veteran reporter of the club at
her post in the gallery. Music was
furnished by "the Clare orchestra lead
by Cm-f.is Hearns, drums, Warren
Schaaf, piano, Thos, Horton, trombone, Neal Elden cornet, assisted by
Clem Carey and Rule Cole, "saxophones from Mt. Pleasant and their
music was splendid.
It was estimated that about 150
young people were in attendance
•To their older friends and parents in
the gallery it was indeed a lovely
<sscene of the beauty and youth of
Clare county in tho happy hours of
Christmas tide. -
" The grand inarch was very pretty
sight and was supervised by John
Nelson who is always interested in
young people. The leaders were
Hazel Sutton and Bob Herrick. The
second in line was Maxine Jones and
Hollis Walton.. Before the march
started -airs. Hall announced that the
girl leader was to have heen chosen
by the vote of the high school but to
make the selection more impartial it
was decided to have the Mayor, John
Wilson make the decision by drawing
the names of the young ladies from
a hat. This was done and Hazel Sutton's was the name drawn. The following men helped in the arrangements, Dr. Mulder, Messrs, Green,
Hall ancl   McGuire.
The dance concluded at 12:30 and
the young people dispersed to their
.homes liaving spent a delightful evening.
HOLIDAY PARTY FULLY ENJOYED BY YOUNG AND OLD
The Christmas tree and exercises
at the Congregational church last
Friday evening was well attended.
The. tables were flUed to capacity
lor the pot luck. The program'' given
by the "children was highly pleasing;
ti). the parents and friends.,
The coming of Santa Cluas Avith
his gay dress and bells6 proved f&
great feature to the kiddies.
With the distribution ot candies
and numerous presents the meeting
adjourned with many expressions of
good wishes for all.

Runyan Scene of Happy
Reunion  Monday
Monduy, December 26th at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. C. 12. Runyan
an impromptu gathering was held
which leally amounted to a reunion
of the family and descendants of the
late John and Annie Alien, as .only a
few members were, absent. A. son,
Hugh Allen, of West Branch, two
grandsons, Nprman and Frank Allen,
of Pontiac, two granddaughters, Mrs.
Clarence Bay ancl Mrs. Forest Garver were unable to attend. •
Thirty-two members were present,
and the evening was very eujoyably
spent with games, and music. The
latter was'furnished by Mrs. Archie
Tryon and her father, Court Runyan,
and Miss Norma Bates, who rendered
several beautiful selections on her
sweet toned Hawaiian guitar. Mr.
Runyan gave* several good numbers
on his harmonica, accompanied on the
organ by his daughter, and need I
mention the singing and visiting? No,
that goes' without saying. And thus
the hours sped on until nearly midnight, when an appetizing lunch was
served, after which the guests departed, pleased and happy, for having had the privilege of those few
hours together, where old friendship
were renewed, and new ones formed,
The last reunion was held on October
11th, 1931, at the home of Mrs.
Jennie Bates.
Those present from our. of town
were: Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Roe, and

the ceremony were her sister, Mrs.

Unionville.
The bride's home was in Davison
and very little is known of her here,
but the groom has been a life long
resident of Clare and Rosebush. Following graduation from the Clare
public school he joined the Sentinel

an appointment as assistant in the-

"Many Michigan dairymen have
been faced with the problem of making radical changes in their feeding
programs during the past few years.
During prosperous times it is human
nature to neglect to think too seriously of the approaching rainy clay.
•Dairymen generally fed some home
grown grain reinforced with high
protein feeds. Many fed commercial
dairy feeds altogether and fed the
home grown product to other stock.
All of this has been subjected to radical changes during the past three,
years. .,   .
However many dairymen throught
Michigan have found ways of maintaining high production while keeping feed costs within such bounds as
to permit a profit in the business.
The dairy experts of Michigan State
College have conducted much experimental work to determine how
far a dairyman can go in making his
herd profitable While using only
feeds produced on the farm. Much
more information has been gained
from the progressive dairymen in
Dairy Herd Improvement Associations which, are supervised by the
College Dairy Department.
Mr. J. G. Hays Extension Dairyman of the State College brings a
very intersting discussion on balancing the -dairy budget in 1933 to Clare
and Isabella dairymen on January
4th. Besides a wide experience in
dairy work with the College, Mr.
Hays owns a fine herd of Holsteins.

they found its equipment free from
