ARMISTICE DAY IN SCHOOL

Clio High School gave evidence of
it's patriotic and reflective spirit by a
program commemorative of the sign
ing of the armistice, one year ago
last Tuesday. The program was par
ticibated in by members Of the fac
ulty of the high school and there
were brief addresses by Rev. Mr.:
Claflin, field secretary of the Anti
Saloon League of America, Rev. A. 7.
Camburn and the editor of The
Messenger. 1t was very enjoyable
occasion and Prof Russell, the teach
crs and scholars of the schools are to
be complimented for the part they
had in it. Not only the boys and
girls, but nearly everyone else, needs
inspiration to patriotic fervor. Not
the kind that manifests itself in vul-
garity and destructiveness, but the
earnest, constructive kind that char
acterized Washington, Franklin, the
Adamses, jefferson and the other
founders Of the republic.

Truly Weird and Wonderful Are Some

Weird and wonderful are the RENE

also been given to the training ap-

The penguin used for training Is as
unable to fly as its arctic namesake-

so very small that the power Of the
motor Is unable to lift the airplane on

with ailerons, elevator. rudder and

encouraged to run this penguin" to
his hearts content; there is no danger
that 1t will take to the air. In q short

SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT

The opening entertainment of the
High School Lyceum Course will take
place at the Auditorium this week
Saturday evening, at which time the
Orpheus Four will make its appear
ance here. This is one of the really
high class musical organizations
making the Lyceum circuit this year,
and it cost the boys and girls of the
High School nearly one hundred
dollars to bring it to Clio.
They concluded to try the experiment
of bringing the best artists to Clio
for a limited number of entertain
ments, rather than provide larger
number, having less merit. We hope
the courage and enterprise of the
young people will meet with deserv-
ing recognition and thai these en-
tertainments may be literally patron
lied. We have often heard it re-
marked that one had to go to Flint or
Saginaw to get anything really
good in the way of a Lyceum course.
This will not be the case this winter,
at least, for the entertainments that
will be given in the High School Ly-
ceum Course are as good, in their res
pective lines, as can be seen any
where. The Flint Daily Journal, in
the issue of Wednesday, speaks in
the highest terms of The Orpheus
Four, who will appear here Saturday
night and will participate, as an ad-
ded attraction, in the Community
Sing at Flint on Sunday afternoon,
following.
