Is Given At Auditorium
Class of Nineteen Twenty Present
ed With Diplomas Thursday
Evening Last

Commencement evening, Thurs
day last, the final event Of Yale
high school for 1920, came with
lowering skies and suggestion OF
rain and coolness, after the hot
day.
The Auditorium was filled with
an audience deeply interested in
the graduating of, Yale's twenty
young people.
The front of the stage was
prettily festooned with crepe pap
er in the class colors and huge
bouquets of snow balls and spirea
graced either end.
The curtain rose showing the
large class seated in semi-circie
Prof. N. j. Drouyor being at one
side, and the speaker of the eve
ming, Prof. f. B. Mckay, of Ypsi-
lanti. at the other.
The young ladies, all gowned in
white. and the young men in dark
suits, formed d beautiful picture.
McKanlass orchestra, OF three
pieces, opened the program and
Rev. Alfred Martin gave the invo-
cation, followed by orchestra
music.
Prof. Mckay was introduced by
Mr.. Drouyor, and after a prelim
mary opening gave his hearers Il
fine talk on the subject.
Educating for Democracy
The speaker contrasted the CO.
operation and united enthusiasm
developed during the nineteen
months of the great war with the
spirit of prohteering and money
grabbing which haSS grown up
during the nineteen months since
the war closed He declared that
there were three attitudes toward
present conditions and illustrated
with the story of the Jersev farm
er visiting on Broadway. New
York, who thought the excavation
for skyscraper was the result Of
an earthquake. What We want to-
day is not the attitude of seeing
the hole merely nor of building an
air castle over the hole, but of
helping to build the skyscraper
of Democracy.
| Democracy must be realized
Through intelligent thinking and
the spirit of service. The speaker
made a plea for all agencies that
help US to understand the prob
lens involved in helping 10 mil
lions of people to live prosperous
| ly and happily together. He es-
pecially emphasized the educa.
tional crisis which the country
now faces and the need for max.
ing a real business of education.
Salaries for teachers must COM
pare favorably with those offered
in other business" he insisted
He further emphasized the neces,
sity for a more equal sharing OF
all burdens according to ability
He closed with a plea for loyal
ty to the American ideals and
deprecated the fact that many OF
! our citizens are unwilling to Sc.
cure their ends by means of agi
, tation and the ballot, but insist
upon the un-American method ot
resort to force.
1t was a discourse full of deer
, thought for the . thinking mine
and his hearers received it wit!
great interest.
, The diplomas were delivered 1,
the graduates by Superintendent
, Drouyor with a few pleasaa
: words, reminiscent of their higl
I. school days together and will

;, launched them out beyond tn,

each must choose for herself O
himself their own way.
The orchestra played a closinj
number and Rev. Mumby pro

Ten Ballots Taken to Decide the
Presidential NOminatiOn.-A
Good Selection.


Warren G. Harding United
States senator from Ohio, was
nominated for the presidency on
the tenth ballot Saturday evening
by the Republican national con-
vention after a deadlock, which
lasted for nine ballots and forced
out of running all the original
favorites. He received 692 votes.
AS his running mate, the con-
ventiOn named Governor Calvin
Coolidge, of Massachusetts, on the
first ballot, upsetting a plan of a
combination of the Harding back
ers to nominate for the place Sen
ator Irvine l.. Lenroot, of Wiscon-
sin. Coolidge got 674 votes.
General Wood lost heavily, how
ever, when the Harding drift be-
gan, and Senator Johnson, the
third of the trio of leaders on the
early balloting Friday, also went
steadily down hill.
There was no official total of
the final ballot. Near the close of
the ballot there was wholesale
switching of votes to the Harding
camp, and then a motion to make
it unanimous. This motion failed
because of the opposition of the
Wisconsin delegation.
Entering the convention four
days before the close as a candi-
date distinctly of the dark horse"
class, Senator Harding got only Ga
votes on the first ballot and the
second he dropped to Sc. When
the convention adjourned Friday
night, at the end of the fourth
ballot he had 81.
Governor Lowden came to the
convention during the ninth roll
call and reversing a previous plan
to go before the convention itself
issued instructions from behind
the scene, releasing his instructed
delegates. Senator Harding also
was in the rear of the Coliseum
platform during the voting and
conferred with Chairman Hays.
Almost as soon as the alphabet
zeal call of states began after the
recess the ground swell for Hard
ing demonstrated that it could not
be forstalled.
AS the tenth roll call began del.
egates quit Lowden, Wood and
Johnson right and left, and the bis
hall was in almost continuous an
plause as state after state announ.
ced accession to the Harding stan.
dard.
The final check up showed 69c
for Harding with only II left sun
porting Lowden, 157 for Wood anC
80 for Johnson. At their best. ear
lier in the day, the Wood peopl,
had mustered 312 votes and tn,
Lowden forces 311. Johnson,
high point was 148, registered OF
the third ballot Saturday.
A motion to make the nonoina
ton unanimous was passed in
great chorus of approval but whel
opportunity was given for mega
tive votes there were some noes
from Wisconsin, whose delegatio,
throughout the day had voted ami,
Kisses and cat calls almost solidl,
for Senator Robert LaFollette.
Enthusiasm For Coolidge
The plan to nominate Senate
Lenroot for the vice presidenc,
had the backing of many of tn
men who had helped put Hardin,
over, but the name of Governo
Coolidge stirred the delegates an,
galleries to repeated cheering an
he was swept into second plac
on the ticket before the first rol
call had gone two-thirds of il
length.
Governor Coolidge got 674 vote
to 146 for Senator Lenroot and 6
for Governor Allen of Kansas. Se1
eral others got scattering suppor
without being placed formally /
nomination.
