Commencement Week.

|
mencement week occurs on Thursday
evening, June 7th, when the annual
Junior Banquet is given to the Seniors
and their parents. This has become
one of the most delightful and enjoy
able of all the festivities of the season.
This year it is to be served by the
Presbyterian ladies in the basement of
their church.
On Friday evening in the high school
assembly room the Class Day exercises,
to which the public is most cordially
invited will be given. We believe that
the program will prove of unusual
interest.
On Sunday evening, June 10th, fol-
lowing the custom OF several years,
the class becomes the guests of the
Presbyterian pastor and people, and
Rev. Rheingans will deliver the bac.
caleaureate sermon.
On Thursday evening, June l4th, in
the New Auditorium, will occur the
Commencement exercises. President
Ii. M. Crooks, of Alma college, will
deliver the commencement address,
Pres. Crooks has just recently come to
our state and to Alma, and this will
give our people an opportunity of max
ing his acquaintance. He is said to be
a very eloquent and forceful speaker,
and he is very anxious TO speak to and
meet as many Michigan people as pos
sible during this commencement seas
OH. Here's hoping that Pres. Crooks
may be greeted by the largest audience
ever assembled in \ ale. &.
McKanlass orchestra, So well and
favorably known in Yale, will furnish
the music, and we bespeak most de-
lightful time for all who make it pos
sible to attend. The large and beauti-
full auditorium in which the exercises
are to be held will make this al es-
pecially enjoyable occasion. There
need be no crowding, there will be
seats for all and all will be good seats.
A small admission fee of l5c will be
charged at the door. About 300 re-
served seats will be put on sale at
Hennessy's next Monday evening at
seven o'clock. These will sell at the
usual price Of ten cents.
Last year we graduated much the
largest class that Yale High had ever
turned out. The class OF II is the
same size and is made up of young
people who are and will be cred 1t to
our school system. Eight of the class
passed the teachers examination in
April and are to begin the work of
teaching in september. Several other
members will enter college in the fall
and all are going out with an aim to
make good in the world. Below We

Senate Has Lively Day
Over One-Cent Letters
and Rate on Newspapers

Washington, Feb. 15.-The whole sub
ject of increased second-class mail rates
and one-cent drop letter postage in cities
and towns and on rural routes was
opened today in the Senate. Amend
ments containing these provisions had
been ruled out of the postof1ice appro-
priation bill several days ago on a point
of order.
When the bill passed from the COM
mittee of the whole to the Senate late
today with many senators absent from
the chamber Senator Smoot re-offered
the amendment to reduce postage OF
drop letters to one cent an ounce. As
this would greatly decrease the postal
revenues, Senator Bryan. acting for the
postoftice committee, asked the Utah
senator to couple with it the amendment
to advance the rate on newspapers ana
magazines to a cent and half pounl
for next year and two cents a pound the
following year. This was done. and SEN
ator Robinson. the presiding officer sub
mitted the amendment, which was agree
to without a roll call escaping attention
of many senators who had opposed the
propositions.

week have decided in favor of the site Of

known as Postoffice Mall, rests upon a

in town. 1t is expected that the shield
will be mounted there in a few weeks.
one reason why the postottice mall
is the most central location in town

back in the 10Th century the citizens
Of BarcCr were notified that they were
asked to choose a location. This set

were divided irto hostile camps. each

select a location decided to put the

until the fire of 1911. which destroyed
the building. The site now belongs to
