and they played from the point of the
ship. The gym was beautifully decorated with the ship effect. The floor
show made the evening complete.
This final party of the year was an
outstanding success.
Class  Night This   Evening
The stars are bright overhead. The
firelight reflects on the rippling water
of the Tobacco River. The sound of
voices echoes through the woods, for
the class of '44 is singing the song
"Pistol Packin' Mama." That's Helen
Murphy, Beverly Sowle, and Mickey
McPhall harmonizing. The song is
ended and Garry Coveart tells his
story. The shadows dance on the quiet
faces of excited eyes. It's a tense
moment. Then the climax is reached
and the story ends. Rosemary Wright
reads the Class History and the class
of '44 are clean Freshmen again. They
live over the past four years. Virginia
Perry, Joyce Gardner, and Lois Hartshorn are urged by the class to sing.
The fire dies and the coals glow red
in the darkness. An old gypsy finds
her way to the picnic group and with
her weathered face, illuminated by the
steady glow of the red coals, she tells
the future of the Class of '44.
Bob Douglas piles more pine on the
dying embers and once again the
night is full of dancing shadows. The
group is merry.
Harold Baker reads the Class Will
which is all nonsense with many
hearty laughs, including its getting late
and stars are dimming. The Class of
'44 stands, strong and confident of
themselves, and the future as well,
singing "On Qlare High School."

Speeding Payment
Delayed Benefits
Assistance in speeding payment of
delayed benefit dependency checks
will be given families from the Cadillac Area by Lt. John A. Rongen,
Area J Commander of District No. 1,
[Sixth Service Command, who is stationed in Cadillac, it was announced
today.
Lt. Rongen will forward inquiries
on delayed payments to the Personnel
Affairs branch of District Headquarters in Detroit where they will be
sent to the Office of Dependency Benefits for action.
Delays in receiving payments in recent weeks were attributed in most
cases, by Army officials, to the failure
of soldiers to submit properly completed marriage and birth certificates,
causing payments to be withheld temporarily, Lt. Rongen said.
The Cadillac Area office at 105 State
Highway Building is available for consultation on all Army matters as they
affect soldiers and their families, to
addition to regular Area duties.
Layle Smith, the seventeen year old

House, of near Rosebush, with whom
he makes his home, miraculously escaped serious injury Sunday afternoon
when his car plunged over a twenty
five foot embankment.
Layle, accompanied by Alvin- Schutt
of Rosebush, drove from Farwell into
the country Saturday evening to get
a par.t for the car, but were unable to
start it to go home, bo left it there
overnight. Sunday afternoon the
boys Went after the car with Alvin's
car and were towing it home when
Alvin's car started swaying as they
were driving on the slippery clay road
south of Wood's Store. Layle lost
control of his car and became frightened and shut his eyes and the next
thing he knew he was sitting in the
car at the bottom of the embankment,
the car having broken off three guard
j-ail posts, rolled down the slope, and
come to rest right side up below.

George Greenaway, a retired railroad official who has made his home
west of Clare since retiring four years
ago, passed away suddenly at his
home Saturday evening.
George Henry Greenaway was born
the son of George Henry and Ann
Jane Greenaway at Greersville, Ontario, October 5, 1875. He came to
Clare in 18S0 and attended school in
Vernon  township.
He was married to Mary Elizabeth
Orr, of Evart, in that town in December, 1896, and this union was blessed
by the birth of four children, now
William, of Detroit, Bermidette, of
Flint, Genevieve, of Urbana, Illinois,
and Lt. Donald Greenaway, of Laugh-
lin Army Air Field, Del Rio, Texas.
Mr. Greenaway was a member of
Bay City Lodge F. & A. M„ No. 129.
He was employed by the Ann Arbor
Railway from 1895 to 1912, residing at
Frankfort. In 1898 he was promoted
to Conductor, and subsequently thereafter served as Yardmaster at Frankfort.
In 1913 he accepted employment by
the Detroit, Bay City and Western
Railway at Bay City. From 1917 to
1920 he served as General Construction Superintendent for the above

of operations at Port Huron, residing
in that city from 1919 to 1940, at which

and returned to his boyhood home of
Clare.
While employed as conductor on the
Ann Arbor he noticed many times a
beautiful spot one and one-half miles
west of Clare where the railroad, and
later US-10, crossed the Tobacco
River and thought many limes he
would like some day to build a home
I here. After his retirement, this dream
was realized and it was in this home
that he passed away Saturday t e-

the Thurston Funeral Home at 2:00
o'clock' Wednesday afternoon, With

Harry Greenaway, as, he was
known to friends, was loved and respected, not only by his family, but
by friends, business associates and acquaintances from all parts of the
United States, and the profusion of
beautiful floral offerings at his last
rites denoted this love and respect of
those whom he had known from the
four corners of our great nation.

j interestingly of the affairs of the city, *
' stating that the mill pon:l transaction,

permits; the completion of the Prairie"
street sewer project; and the approval
of laying one block of sewer on Firs.
street,  which will  be extended later.
He stated that the Sanford property
at the east end of State street had
been determined suitable for the location of the proposed sewage disposal
plant and the property purchased, aild
that there was at present almost $9,000
in the sewage disposal fund and "that
it was expected another $3,000 would
be appropriated to this fund when the
city budget was made up in September.
City post war projects are to be the
building of the sewage disposal plant,
paving .from the present pavement to
the curbs at both ends of the city, curb
and gutter construction, and the im1

had been in the room.
Pelton .was stopped near Loomis,
accused of the theft and searched, but
denied taking the watch and it was not
found on his person, but the officers
held him for further investigation
while a trooper from the Mt. Pleasant
Post came to Grill &, White's Jewelry
store to inquire if Pelton had brought
it there to have the crystal replaced
and were informed by George White
that he had left the watch with him to
replace the crystal and attach a new
wrist band that Peltou had selected,
evidently so that the watch would not
easily be recognized as the one belonging to the nurse.
When faced with the evidence, Pel-
ton is reported to have admitted taking the watch and was placed under
arrest.
He was arraigned before Justice
Gordon M. Smith, in Gladwin, at 7:00
o'clock Wednesday evening, plead
guilty, and was fined $25.00 and court
costs of $3.85 and sentenced to the

PIANO TUNING
Little Fisherman
Catches Big Fish
in Clare Monday
Six year old J. P. Ryan, the son of
the James E. Ryans, of North US-27,
Clare, established a record for his
age when he caught an eighteen inch
German Brown trout while fishing a
week ago Sunday, but he bettered his
own record considerably last Monday
when he caught a twenty-two inch
rainbow that weighed nearly four
pounds.
The first question asked by a fisherman would be "Where did you get
it?" and the answer is, in the swimming pool at the Ryan estate.
And the next query would be "What
did you use for bait?" aud the answer
to this one is the "bell-ringer." J. P.
uses a common piece of cord baited
with bread, which seems to be the
"basic food" now days for man and
fish.
Congratulations, J. P., and if you
catch a still bigger one let us know—
unless he opens up his mouth and
swallows you.
We have heard fish stories like
these before—but we didn't see the
fish—and this time J. P. brought his
catch to The Sentinel office as evidence.
