YEM'S WORK DOME.
Successful    Closing   for    City
Schools-Commencement
This Evening.
With the graduation of a class of
ten. from the high school this evening
tin year's work of the city schools is
completed. During the year another
teacher has been added to the high
school teachers, work in chemistry and
biology expanded, assistants from the
high school used for the kindergarten,
the high school placed on the "University list and the high school has had a
base ball team worthy of the name.
Ample preparation has been made
for the exercises this evening and
from the advance sale of tickets a
crowded house will be present at the
fourteenth annual commencement.
The stage at the opera house is prettily decorated for the occasion in the
class colors of crimson and gold. The
following are the graduates:
O. A. Jackson,       Anna B. Bmpy.
M. Ethyl Pratt,   Pearl J. Easton.
Wm. A. Dwyer.
Pearl M. Hubel.
Grace Hathaway.
Gardis B, Hagle,
Neal G. Bidwell,
James A/Tatman,    _
'All who finish the work of their respective grades are given certificates to
that effect to be presented to their
teachers next year. "Prom the eighth
promoted to the high school. The
grade a class of twenty-eight will be
primary department is so crowded
that a large number of would-be beginners have been turned away this
spring and it is probable that the
board will be compelled to rent or purchase a building somewhere in a central position in town to provide additional school room and secure
another teacher to take charge of the
first grades.
Ihe following pupils were neither
absent nor tardy during the year:
high school—Louie Lower; eighth
,grade—Laila Wilson; seventh grade-
Arthur Leusenkamp, "Frank Cornwell,
Maggie Lapeer, EthelNorthOn; second
grade—Carl "Ross.
1 A "number of changes occur in the
teaching force of the school but the
school board is not ready at this- time
to give out the complete list. Of the
present teachers Supt. Riggs expects
to do some studying at Ann Arbor
during the summer; Miss "Francis
Gibson,principal, will Spend, the va-.
cation at her home at Otsego as also
will Miss Josephin Smith, assistant
principal, at Oberlin Ohio—all three
will return next year. C. A. Beading, whose work in the eighth grade
has been most successful, will retire
from teaching and begin work in the
Clare County Savings Bank at once
and in case he likes it will remain permanently to take the position to be
vacated by one of the present employers by reason of promotion to the
Farwell bank soon to be opened.
Miss M. Glass, teacher of the seventh
grade, will spend the vacation as such
and resume her work next year; Miss
Louie Louch will spend the summer
at the State "Normal at Ypsianti and
take up her work again next year;
Miss Martha Diem of the fourth grade
will on account of poor health retire
temporarily from teaching and rest
at her home at Marine City. Miss
Lydia Ort of the third grade for the
last two years finds herself not in the
best of health and will take a year's
rest. Miss Kobison, teacher of the
second grade for the last three years,
Will spend the summer at home at Mt.
Pleasant and next year will teach at
Essexville at a salary of $400, where
Walter Snider, of the Olare schools
last year, is principal. Miss Acker,
teacher of the first grade, will spend
the summer at home at Big Rapids
and have charge of the kindergarten
at Dutand next year.
The baccalaureate address delivered
at the opera house Sunday morning
by Eev. A. L. Woodlock of the Congregational church provoked many
favorable comments. The text used
was ,(What is man?" and the sermon
will certainly prove helpfnl to the
class and to the large audience present.
The music was furnished by a quartet
under direction of Prof. H. O. Maybee
of the Mt. Pleasant Normal. The
quartet rendered three selections
all of which were high class and were
well received by ah appreciative
audience.

Celebration at
Hatfield's Grove.
The young men of Yernon will fittingly celebrate July 4th in Hatfield's
grove, six miles south of Clare, where
exercises in keeping -with the day will
be given. Hon. D, E. ■ Alward will
read the Declaration of Independence
and addresses will be given by Hon.
Frank MeNamara and Hon T. H.
Dusenburyof Mt. Pleasant. Games
and sports of various kinds will be
given.
The celebration is intended to be a
free expression of true patroitism and
in many ways on such a day to be close
to nature is more in keeping with the
spirit of the day than to parade up
and down some large city.
All will find a welcome at Hatfield's
grove.

For the first time in several years
the Eagle will scream in Farwell July
4th and as has been the custom of the
