BACCALAUREATE
Services At    Congregational
Church.
An Awful Libel.
LARGE ATTENDANCE
Church     Tastefully     Decorated
For Occasion.
The Congregational was packed to
the doers on Sunday evening, the
occasion being the baccalaureate
services wbich mark the beginning
■of the various exercises connected
with tbe close of Ibe present school
year. The cburch was beautifully
decorated, the work of Ralph Thompson whose service% seem to be in demand now for many such occasions.
The music was furnished by Miss
Laila Wilson pianist, and Prof. Peterson, organist and violinist and a
choir of seven. The class, 17 in number, appeared in cap and gown, giving a smack of college airs. Opinion
will probably differ as to this feature
Of class functions, but personally we
are too democratic to be impressed
by it. It would not lessen an iota
onr impression of the dignity and
wisdom of the justices of onr highest
court if tbey appeared in plain citizen dress, rather than in gowns, an
idea borrowed from mon»rcbial governments of the old world. It would
be stili.less impressive if a justice of
tbe peace should seek to introduce
thecustom. Whatever may be thought
of the custom in colleges, we hope
oar city and village schools will not
attempt to imitate this feature. Maybe we take a wrong view of this, but
somehow we are such believers in
democratic simplicity that we cannot
belp it.
The exercises opened with a hymn
by the audience and Scripture reading and prayer by Kev. J. A. Allen.
Tben a selection by the cboir and a
violin solo by Prof. Peterson and the
pastor proceeded with his address,
taking as his text passages from
Proverbs, 'The fear of tne Lord is
the beginning of knowledge, but
fools despise wisdom and instruction;" and "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand
before kings, he shall not stand before mean men." History tells us
tbat at tbe age of ten years Benjamin
Franklin was cutting wicks in a
chandler's shop in Boston. At 17 he
was walking the streets of Philadelphia in search of employment and
incidentally an object of merriment
to bis future wife. He was diligent
in whatever be undertook and a half
centnry later be was tbe honored representative of this country at tne
court of Prance. Education is a
large business with millions invested
in it. Everywhere immense emphasis is laid npon it. Every young person should bave a purpose in life.
His life calling is bis business in
which he Is charged to be diligent.
Several of the class aspire to be
teachers. They can be very sure
that tbeir pupils wiii read them and
take an inventory of tbeir attainments. Tbe educated person must
not only know, but be must know tnat
he knows. There are entirely too
many educated fools.
The class should bear in mind that
they are a favored few. Not many
in the community have had tbe privileges accorded to them. In a sense
they are a luxury to tbe community
and a rather expensive one too.
They shonld not forget tbe sacrifices
of fathers, mothers and teachers.
They should now prove to the world
that tbsy are men and women and
that the world needs them. Life is
nothing unless we live it. Tbe greatest crop needed is the right kind of
men and women. "Pear God and
work bard" was the motto of David
Livingston and it is a good one for
all.
Tbe exercises closed with a hymn
and benediction by Bev. Allen.
From tbe time wben the memory
of man runneth not to tbe contrary,
it bas been positively asserted tbat
"a woman cannot keep a secret."
Now it bas been demonstrated rigbt
bere that one woman at least can
keep a secretin two languages. The
teacher of Latin and German here for
tbe past two years bas been known as
Mise Alta Sbitmnel and it appears
that she has been Mrs. K. F. McLain
for a year or more. Occasionally she
has made trips to Flint, "to visit
friends," as she was wont to tell tbe
inquisitive reporter, yet it seems that
it was "hubby" that occasioned these
trips. On Tuesday she left for that
city and the people of Clare will
know her no mere. Let us hear no
more about a woman's ability to keep
a secret.

The Methodist churcb was comfortably filled on Wednesday evening by an appreciative audience, to
listen to the efforts of tbe class, composed of 11 girls and 6 boys. And
tbe audience was not disappointed.
The voung people, one and all, acquitted themselves with credit. We
regret tbat time and space will not
permit us to go into details to a greater extent. We can only note matters here and there. The decorations
again were the work of Ralph Thompson and were tine indeed. We cannot
undertake to describe them in detail.
It was necessary to see them to appreciate tbeir beauty.
To the strains of a march played
by Miss VanLeuven tbe class, preceded and foliowed by the High School
teachers, entered and took their
seats. Rev Burd delivered tbe invocation and tben Curs. Miller gave
the president's address. He compared life to a road, a good place in
which to travel but a poor place in
which to Bleep. There is no room
in the world for sluggards. A tribute was paid to Columbus and to
Jobn Milton as examples of an idea
sought to be conveyed. A niaa's
place in life is apt to be fixed by bis
aspirations. He should have high
ideals and these should be kept at tbe
forefront.
In the salutatory, Miss Freda Krell
compared tbe progress of the class
to tbe course of a river aud the analogy was carried ont very nicely. The
river's tributaries were likened to
tbe various forces tbat enter into
tbe development of the pupils' lives.
Our character is sbown by the company we like and keep and it is the
one thing tbat endures. No one can
hope to succeed who does not search
ont tbe work be can best do.

Class Party.
Monday evening tbe young men of
Mias Croel's Sunday school class gave
ber a farewell party at tbe bome of
Donglaa Mooney. Tbe boys did not
wish to bave any girls present, so
the evening was pleasantly spent by
tbe class alone. After refreshments
were served by two of tbe boya, Cbas.
Smith presented Miss Croel witb a
beautiful ivory toilet set, in behalf
of tbe class.
Miss Croel will be greatly missed
among the yonng people of Clare
among whom sbe baa taken more
tban usual interest, Tbe class bas
increased from 3 to 26. These young
men have found Miss Croel Interested in tbeir mental, moral and spiritual welfare, and ever ready to sympathize and aid wben a false step was
taken. Few people seem able to understand boy life as she does and
ber words of advice and instruction
will be a great loss to tbe yonng
men, though they cannot soon forget wbat she has done.
We regret to have her leave as but
we know Miss Croel cannot be idle
and onr lose will be others' gain.

The high school hall *es th« scene
j of a very pleasant gathering last Frl-
• day evening wben tbe Juniors tendered a reception to the Seniors and
the faculty of the high school. At
I 8 o'clock the guests assembled in the
lower halls tfbere tbey were entertained by an Edison until the line of
march was formed for the banquet
hall. Professor Peterson, accompanied by Miss Wilson, rendered very
pleasant music wbile the guests ascended to the upper hall where a
long table was tastily arranged, being decorated witb roses, ferns and
carnations. The hall was very cbarm-
Ungly decorated in red, white and
blue and was a great credit to the
Juniors who did the work.
After a loyal welcome, extended by
Professor Poulson, a sumDtuous repast of three courses was served by
four members of the alumni, under
the direction of Mrs. Qleason.
Tbe Juniors and Seniors responded
to toasts which were not only amusing, but interesting ae signs of rising
genius.
Carl Holbrook gave tne president's
address in behalf of the Juniors. He
emphasised tbe loss of tbe Seniors,
but stated tbat the Juniors would oe
pleased to take tbsir places next year,
though their number would be two
less.
Charles Miiier responded as president of the Seniors. Hespokeof tbe
fellowship that had existed between
tbe Juniors and Seniors for the past
three years.
Ruth Ryan toasted on the subject,
"Why the Seniors are Ideal or Otherwise." As the Juniors are modest
and did not care to express tbeir
opinion, Ruth called for a response
by Edytb Lyford. Edyth is quite a
poetess and in her poetic measure
told why each Senior might be an
ideal for a Junior to follow.
Ross Carson prophesied what the
"Class of '15 would be in '20." Tobe
sure, they were among the world's
renowned, from president of tbe
Coked States to the owner of a boarding house in Ann Arbor.
Irene Allen gave tbe response, but
she thought tbat some kinds of
bumble service should be advanced,
eo sbe fouud some among tbe head
nurses in war stricken Europe.
Miss VanLeuvan tben rendered a
solo in ber usual pleasing manner.
The Juniors have a poetess also
and Annie Henderson responded to
"The High Scbooi Path" with poetic
jingle.
Thomas Maynard gave a response
and stated tbat the class bad just
reached tbe foot hills and the hill was
before tbem.
Miss Mansell responded on "Acquirements of Higb Scbooi." Sbe
placed jokes aside and gave tbe class
a fine idea of education, defined as
follows : "Education is not a Preparation for Life bat Life Itself."
Tbe banquet was a great success
and it shows what a bright, progressive class the class of '10 bids fair to
be.
All guests left witb a feeling of regret tbat tbe bappy days of bigh
school must come to a close.
Only wait until next yoar and see
what the class of 1916 can do as
Seniors.

was not our funeral We did not vote
to establish saloons here and   are en-

sheep ranches in Hatton township.
And it means plenty of work, too,
for they are clippicg the   wool   off  at

to enjoy (?) all the fruits thereof.
To get tbe people drunk is one of the
things for whicb saloons exist, and
when men are drunk they usually
fight. These things are perfectly
legitimate results snd no one should
be surprised about it.
By the way, does anybody remember those very wise leaflets witb
which this county was deluged one
year ago? We were assured tbat
drunkenness was caused exclusively
by the "miserable rot gut whiskey"
whicb could be found only In dry
counties.     Just  restore   tbe  saloons

There are three machines working
busily every day, tbe power coming
from a small gasoline engine and of
course several more men are required to do up tbs wool, take care
of tbe sheep, etc.
Of this immense flock, about 2000
belong on tbe Bingham RaDch of
some 1800 acres lying to the north of
the village of Hatton. Several hundred more than that number are tbe
property of Calkins and Angsbury,
and pasture on the ranch lying to
the south, part of whicb is owned by
Henry Miser.
Henry Miser, ancle of Irvin and
Josh Miser, died Jane 9 at tbe bome
of Irving Miser near Dover in tbe
86th year of bis age.
Mr. Miser was born   in   Conbocton

otber unfortunatemen. he bad deeded

The Final Exercises.
Yesterday evening the public 'closing exercises of tbe schools were beld
at tbe Methodist cbnrch. Hon. A. J.
Lacey of Detroit delivered tbe ad-
drees. This evening tbe alumni banquet will be beld in tbe Congregational cburch parlors. Farther notice of
these functions will appear next week.
This Is Not Saginaw.
We suspect tbe liquor laws are so
poorly enforced in Saginaw tbat
dealers come to regard tbem as more
or less of a joke. Perhaps tbey naturally thought sucb is the case witb the
game laws. Anyway a brewer and
saioonist from that city seemed to
conclude tbat a net would get fish
oat of Thurston Lake faster tban
otber ways, so tbey tried it on Friday
last. Bat Qame Warden Pettit cast
bis eagle eye over that way and invited tbem down to discuss the matter with Judge Thurston. After they
bad each paid a fine of 120 with si.20
coats added, tbey concluded that the
fun la too expensive to be indulged
in very much.
On Monday Willie Dnnlop of Par-
well, wbo wae a participant in the
above little pleasantry, was also
called to the bar of justice and assessed a floe of S6.00 with M.46 costs.

In recognition of the very efficient
aid rendered to the League by a
number of the teachers of our schools,
some of whom are to leave at the
close of the school year, a reception
was tendered them in the parlors of
the Methodist church on Friday
evening. Something like tit) were
present and a short program was
carried out.
After a social hour, various games
being indulged in, Carl Holbrook,
president of the League, called the
meeting to order and proceeded with
the program. A variety of humorous
"stunts" was pulled oil, then Mr.
Holbrook in voicing the sense of the
League said that these teachers had
been of great assistance in building
up the membership and helping in
many ways and this was only a feeble
expression of gratitude for this.
Rev. Coates also spoke at some
greater length along the same line.
Tbere was also a solo by Miss Lulu
Stone, Miss Olive Stone pianist, a
violon solo by Prof. Peterson, be responding to an encore, Miss Laila
Wilson accompanist. Miss Ivah
Fox also entertained with a humorous
reading.
At the close light refreshments
were served.
season is over, some 3000 more will
be sent up from Shiawassee Co. to
graze until fall, making nearly S000
sheep in tbat vicinity alone, to say
nothing about tbe big Kleman flock
and those on tbe Kennedy rancb,
both in the same township.
W. R   Hamlin, who is   manager   of I
tbe rancb. is very  enthusiastic about
the growth of tbis industry, and   predicts that it will not bo long until tbe j

House Filled With   Appreciative
Audience
We feel sure tbat we will voice   the
general sentiment   wben we   express
our personal   appreciation of the   efforts made by Miss VanLeuven to  entertain the people in her endeavor to
show something of the work she   haa
been    doing   in   the    schools     during the year.     We   are   not    a  musician       and      expressly       disclaim
any idea of speaking as a critic in any
sense.    We know we   enjoyed tbe recital   aud we are  sure   the   audience
did.    Moreover, we heard it   praised !
by several quite  competent to   judge !
in a critical way.    Tbe pupils certain- j

Tbe rural teachers are cfrtaiuly
showing a very commendable spirit-
in tbe way their closing exercises are
being carried out. This cannot fail
to inspire a better school spirit
throughout tbe county. We have already commented on the remarkable
gain in the number of graduates as
compared with last year. The enthusiasm created now will doubtless-
belp to swell tbe number next year.
