Commencement Finish

Too late for the Expositor was the
final wind-up of Commencement do
ings when on Thursday evening of last
week an immense audience filled the
Auditorium to witness the exercises of
Commencement night.
McKanlass orchestra from Port HUI
ron furnished delightful music and the
raising of the curtain showed the
eighteen graduates in a semi-circle
with Supt. Drouyor at one side and
the speaker of the evening, DR.. Shaw,
on the other.
A beautiful flag was draped on the
back walls and beautiful bouquets of
flowers were arranged along the front
of the platform.
After the Invocation by Rev. Gran.
dell, Mr.. Drouyor introduced DR.. ID.
Stanley Shaw, pastor Of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Port Huron. who
spoke on the subject "The New North
western IDEAL" Mr.. Shaw is a speaker
who is thoroughly in earnest, who de-
lights his audience and who carries
weight and conviction with every
statement. His address teemed with
strong patriotism and was received
with great favor.
At the close the graduates were pre-
sented with their diplomas and also
with a kindly little speech from their
instructor and superintendent of Yale
schools, N. j. Droayor.
The exercises were then turned over
to the Alumni, who gave its welcome
to the class of '18, through Frank ID.
Beadle, who very nicely represented it
in his speech. Victor Learmont re-
sponded with appropriate words.
The Alumni felt that they were hon.
ored on this occasion by having Lieut..
Bert Freeman with them, he being at
home on furlough and he was chosen
to raise the service flag. He gave the
number, 23, and the names of the
graduates of Yale high who were in
the service of their country and dis
played handsome service flag.
After music by the orchestra the
benediction was pronounced by Rev.
Rheingans, and the graduates of 1918
had seen the last of their JOYS and sot-
rows, trials and tribulations of Yale
High school.

EVERYBODY BOOST
II Our Citizens All Turn In and Help, the
Caledonian Celebration VIII Be Best
Thing Ever Pulled OFF in Yale

1t may seem to some trifle early to
start talking about the big Caledonian
Celebration, but those in charge are
anxious to make big success of the
event financially. The more money
the association takes in, the more they
can turn over to the Red Cross, and the
ones in charge wish to give that society
a good, substantial boost.
Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 9Th
and 7th are the days, and the City park,
Yale, the place where this big celebra-
tion will be held There will be some
thing on each days program that will
please every member of the family.
There will be Scotch piping, Scotch
dancing and Scotch singing; Governor
Sleeper will be here the first afternoon
and we will have Government planes
from Selfridge Field both days; there
will be base ball game each after
noon, also lots of athletic sports.
From time to time there will be ad-
ded attractions, which we will mention
as they are secured.
On Tuesday evening, Aug 9th the
big annual Scotch concert will be held
at the Auditorium, after which there
will be some dancing, and then on
Wednesday evening Manager w, f.
Barr promists one of his popular dane
ing parties with the best music he can
obtain.
Then the management Of Princess
Theatre will have something special on
Wednesday evening the 7th.
Surely this will be enough "doings"
for one week. Remember the dates
remember where the proceeds go. Turn
in and boost to help make this the best
celebration Yale ever held.

Given Splendid Service.

Two years ago the Expositor in arg
ing the nomination and election of our
townsman, Stephen Windsor, to the
Office of Sheriff of ST. Clair county, we
spoke of him as a man who could and
would do things and gave it as our
opinion from a personal knowledge of
his ability, that he would make an ideal
officer. On being installed into office
he associated with him as deputies and
assistants competent men who had had
experience in the work connected with
the sheriff's office. Since then we have
closely watched what that branch of
the county's service has been doing.
During the past two years there has
been one murder and through the dill
gence of Sheriff Windsor and his depu.
ties the one who committed the deed
was located and he confessed and has
been dealt with according to law, and
the case disposed Of. Besides this one
many other criminal matters have been
taken care of and ferreted out and up
to the present time every case is settled
and there are no hold-overs.
Sheriff Windsor's record is one to be
proud OF and we believe he is far better
prepared to fulfill the important duties
as sheriff than when he took the oath
of Office nearly two years ago. The
Expositor again urges more strongly
his re nomination and reelection as
sheriff of ST. Clair county, believing as
we do his more perfect fitness through
the valuable experience he has had.
The voters of this county may feel
fully confident that Sheriff Windsor
will do his duty aud need not hesitate
to return him into office again. He is
man who not only realizes the trust
confided in him, but he likewise appre-
ciates it. BE sure and attend the pri
maries on August 9th and cast vote
for stephen Windsor for sheriff.

OBITUaRY.
Be still prepared for death and death or
life shall thereby be the sweeter.-
Shakespeare.

In the death of Charles Fletcher the
world loses a man who, throughout his
remarkably long life, has given of his
best to his family, his community, his
state and country, and leaves record
of an honOred, respected life, whole
some and sound and religious. His
passing leaves the sorrow of parting
tinged with happiness and satisfaction
that he had so lived.
Charles Fletcher was born in York

was "a years of age, on Jan. 9TH, 1849,

they have been living with their child
rem and were with their son George
when death came to the husband aud
father on Monday, June IL, 1918, with
just the natural breaking down from
old age and giving out of the heart.
The good old age of SO years had been
reached just few days before, while
his wife is nearing the ninety mark.
Both had been members of the Baptist
church, but were content to attend and
assist in religious work wherever they
lived. Mr.. Fletcher was great reader
and student of the Bible.
Funeral services were held from the
home of George Fletcher on Wednes-
day at one p. m, Rey. Traver, of Peck,
officiating, and quartette OF voices

body was taken to CrOswell cemetery
lOl WhClO 0CNC0oCd bOiuO blAuC
ago, had a monument and two markers

Mrs. w. a. Billings, of Pontiac; George
and Fred, of Melvin; Fannie, Mrs. l.,
Shell, of Amadore; William, of Yale;
Robert, of Trinidad, Col; Webb, OF
Melvin. There are five generations Of
this family, four being present on this
occasion. There are tifty-one grand

and two great, great grandchildren.
Mr.. Fletcher was we'll known in Yale
having spent much time here in the
last few years.

Good Cause for "Scraopino"

Two little street Urchfns had n pug
llIstic encounter on Friday forenoon.
one was nearly twice the size of the
other and naturally before q passerbv
irterfered had gotten rather the worst
OF the encounter. although the larger
lad had one of his eyes beautifully
draped in mourning. for which he
might have to account at home. The
man who stopped the encounter was
enc of the mildest natured gentlemen
imaginable and sought to sooth the
vanquished He inquired as to the
cause and received this reply, inter-
spersed with sobs: He said l was
meaner than the Kaiser" The gem
tieman looked up with fire in his eyes
and said. Where is that chap" He
then turned to the little youngster
and slipped a coin into his hand with
the remark, Boy. it's wrong to fight,
but you're all right just the same"
