The pulpit of the Congregational
church was occupied Sunday morning and evening by Rev. C. F. Shaw
of Chicago. A meeting of the church
was called for Monday evening at
which an unusally large number
were present, and by a unanimous
vote—not one dissenting—he was
called to the pastorate here. He
will as pastor preach his first sermon
Sunday, June 2lst, announcement of
his subject being made in due time/
Mr. Shaw is a comparatively young
man and has a wife and one daughter. He has traveled extensively,
and has mingled with all classes of
people, from those of the Western
mining camps to the elite of the
great city.
Mr. Shaw is particularly interested
in boys, and has spent much time in
the interest of the anti-cigaret league.
It is believed by those who have met
him that he will prove himself an inspiration, to our people and in a
practic"""! modern way do much to
help elevate our plane of living.
Early Shearing with Bad Weather and Poor Shelter Fatal to
Many Sheep.
The extremely bad weather coupled with early shearing and prop er
shelter not being provided during
bad storms have resulted in death of,
many sheep and lambs in north
Olare and Gladwin counties. In
other areas too losses are not unknown while many farmers who
sheared early have had a big job q*n
their hands caring for sheep and
lambs. As narrated by our Tonkin
correspondent last week Wm. Blinco
of the Brown lost twenty-four sheep
in one night.
Sunday school missionary Peters-
hans says it was a sad sight on a recent trip to see so many dead sheep.
Indications are, however, that the
wool clip 1;his season will greatly exceed any past record. Five dealers
in Clare all report considerable volume already purchased.
efarenpSelcFools,
Rev. 0- F. Shaw gave an address
at the high sceool Monday afternoon.
Seventh and eighth grades were
entertained by the high school this
morning.
Supt. Roode and five pupils of the
school took in President's day at
Lansing last Friday.
The juniors gave a reception to the
seniors and high school teachers at
the Maccabee hall last evening.
Some of the freshmen are wondering how badly they are tangled in
the "Grinds" to be a feature of the
high school annual to appear near
the close of school.
Commencement occurs June 20-21.
The fifteen graduates will be heard
the first evening. Lee McCollistor,
D. D., of Detroit gives the commencement address.
A number of the teachers dined
with the farmer's club at N. F.
Geeck's Tuesday. The high school
quartette with Edward Geeck and
Vera Shaw helped furnish music and
Supt. Roode gave an address.
This afternoon is patrons' day at
the school and the general public is
invited to inspect the building and
the many samples of work from pupils of all grades on exhibition and
talk over with teachers the work of
their children.

"Old Glory" again resumes her
place on the flag pole after several
years' absence for want of an engineer to put the pole rope back. Carl
Dorsey turned the trick with a big
kite dropping the rope in over the V

flag waved in the breezes for the
first time Memorial Day.

LEVEN GRADUATE
The Pratt, Colonviile and Brown
Schools Unite in, Splendid
Eighth Grade Exercises
at Colonviile Church.
Literally ^packed was the Colonviile church Wednesday evening to*
listen to the program arranged for
the, state eighth grade graduates of
the Pratt, Colonviile and Brown
schools,
,. The class marched in and took
their places on the platform decorated with bunting, ferns and potted
plants to music rendered by Miss
Beatrice Brown of Clare, an.d Rev. J.
Moffit gave the invocation. Miss
Floy Gerow gave a brief but well
chosen Balutatoryand then Miss Lena
Dunwoodie rendered a beautiful vocal solo, "September."
The address of the evening was
given by Prof. O. S. Larzelere of the
Mt. Pleasant Normal on the subject,
"The School, the Home and the
Community," which was replete with
helpful suggestions, especially to
parents who want to give their boys
and girls the best possible opportunity to get an education. Mr. Larzelere is a man whose every day life
ls an uplift to those he is associated
with, and his talk was an inspiration
to the large audience.
After an organ solo by Miss Gladys
B. Lackie, Com'r E. G. Welch presented the diplomas. He suggested
that as Sheridan is the wealthiest
and most populous township in the
county, and having but four schools,
it is her opportunity to establish and
maintain in the center of the township what is known as a ten grade
township high school, thus giving
every boy and girl in the township an
opportunity to take high school work
right at home.
Sec'y J. F. Tatman of the Clare
board of education presented Miss
Floy Gerow of the Colonviile school
with a receipt for tuition at the high
school here next year, she having
earned the highest average standing
of all the applicants who wrote in
the Clare class, and after uniting in
singing America, the audience
went to their respective homes g'lad
that they live in the greatest nation
on earth.
Following is a list of the graduates r Pratt school, Hazel Fairbanks,
Tuff C. Hampton, B. Bessie Mater.
Teacher, George E. Thompson. Colonviile school, Charley Bodkins, Nellie Grigg, 'Mary Empey, Floy Gerow,
Katie Casey teacher. Brown school,
Alfred Cookson, Lee Coulter, Ethel
Freed, Arthur Lower. Teacher,
Maude Whitside.
Much credit is due these teachers
for their efforts with these pupils,
and it is most encouraging to teachers as a class that their efforts are
coming to be more and more appreciated, and in ways so substantial.
As a whole the exercises reflect
credit upon teachers, pupils and patrons and were enjoyed by all in attendance. ,
