lHIS Is commencement week Will
our Public Schools and all connected
with same are doing their utmost To
make 1t the banner one. Supt. Fuller
and the corps Of efficient teachers have
labored hard the past year and the
results are patent-a higher standing
all around. Our schools are on the
University List" which means that
any Of our students who complete the
course here can get advanced credits
on work at Michigan University.
This means that the standings Of our
schools must be kept high and there
is nj chance for anything else as long
as the management of onr schools is
in such competent hands.
The Baccalaureate s9rmon was
preached in the Presbyterian church
last Sunday evening by the Rev. A. ID.
Grigsby, his subject being "G0 on to
Perfection"-being an expression and
development of the class motto "We
Climb though the Rocks be Rugged, 4"
The church was artistically decorated
with flowers and bunting in the class
cOlorS, red and white. by the juniors
who also acted as ushers. The church
was crowded. A grand chorus choir

Bessie Light on 1.-THE Seniors" Miss
Phyllis Hurlburt on 1.-The Boys.
Morgan Lewis was called upon to give
a toast on 1.-THE Girls" but did not
respond from lack of experience In
this line. Supt. Fuller also gave a
fine talk. Some pleasing Instrument
al music was furnished by Misses IIoyt
and Porter. ALI Of the toasts were of
a high order, and the evening glided
away with laughter at her heels.

members of the Senior class, pointed
