will appear at least four times on the
program.
Professor c. o. Davis of the Univer-
sity of Michigan, known as an educa-
Gator throughout the United States,
will speak upon topic upon which he
is regarded as authority, "The High
School as a Social Center" More and
more in every community the high
school is coming to be regarded as an
educational institution which ought to
reach more than just the high school
students. The people Of the entire
community ought to receive education
al assistance through the channels of
the high school. The East Jordan
High School is so constructed as to
make it useful as a community agent.
Mr.. Davis will be here to explain the
varions ways in which this can be ac-
complished.

COMMERCIAL
DEPARTMENT

The Commercial department of the
East Jordan High School has very ably
demonstrated its value in training
yonng people for commercial positions.
A year ago large class OF young
people finished the commercial work
and practically every one went into a
responsible commercial position max
ing a success there. This year the
commercial department has made a
record which even surpasses that of a
year ago. Those who are graduating
from the commercial department are
very efficient in both shorthand and
typewriting and every one has received
a Palmer Penmanship diploma.
In the commercial contests held at
Traverse City this year, East Jordan
won first place in advanced shorthand
and beginning typewriting.
The record of the commercial depart
ment has been a splendid one and il
now offers to young people most ex-
cellent opportunity for preparation in
both shorthand and bookkeeping.

Class of 1921
Splendid Class Gave Excellent
Program Last Monday Night.

The Class of 1921 gave an unusually
fine Class Day program at the Audit
orium last Monday night. The audit
orium was packed to the limit, fully
$50 people being in attendance. The
program contained many unique feat
ures which indicates that the Class Of
1921 possesses not little originality.
The girls of the class sang very
prettily the song, Merry june. The
boys followed with the noble song,
"Your Flag and My Flag"
Rosabelle Danto was the class saluta-
torian and welcomed parents, citizens,
teachers and schoolmates with choice
language fittingly delivered.
Irene Etcher delivered the class his
tory written by Martha Wagbo in the
style and manner akin to the language
of the bible. The history is elsewhere
printed in this issue.
Vernon Alexander delighted every
one by reading poem of his own COM
position relating to the class.
Christa and Pauline Hoover sang
very beautifully duet Sunset"
Paul Franseth, the high schools
famous debater, of course gave the
class grafton. He maintained usual
high standard in both composition and
delivery.
Alice Malpass, in most original and
novel manner, gave the class prophecy
by introducing a telephone converse
tion some years in the future with
Rosabeile Danto. She uniquely brought
in each member of the class and very
cleverly assigned each to a more or
less ludicrous position in life.
La Verne McCalmon and Doris Nice
added to the merriment of the occasion
in the manner in which they created
and presented gifts to the class.
A duet to the music of Schubert's
Serenade was sung by Rosabelle DAN
to and Alice Malpass.
John Gunderson very solemnly read
the class will in which the Seniors dis
posed of numerous and various articles
and customs which have been sources
of either annoyances or merriment
during school days.
Juanita Secord gave the valedictory
which was we'll written and delivered
and made very appropriate closing
for the exercises.
The entire program was well receiv-
ed and immensely enjoyed. 1t was an
other excellent achievement for the
high school.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT

Last Monday evening from $50 to
7:30, just before the Class exercises Of
the Senior class of 1921, an exhibit was
open to the people of all the work of
the schools from the kindergarten to
the High School. This exhibit was
tastily arranged and showed in very
remarkable manner the fine work that
has been done throughout the school.
The work in drawing and penman-
ship, under the supervision of Miss
Darling, was excellent. No less so,
however, was the work in arithmetic,
language, spelling and other subjects.
In the high school there was fine
manual training exhibit of the furni-
ture made by the students this year.
The History, English and Commercial
exhibits were very commendable and
in the science department the note
books made during the year were on
display. In the Household Arts de-
partment the sewing which was done
in this department was to be seen.
The work of the Junior High in history
reading, geography, English and arith-
metic was all splendid.
The prevailing opinion was that this
was the best exhibit yet given by the
local school.
This exhibit will be preserved for
display at the Fair this fall.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION

East Jordan has been fortunate in
having a Board of Education composed
of progressive and forward looking
men. They have been interested in
all of the affairs of the school and
have been enthusiastic in promoting
its welfare. These men have the
vision to see the educational possibili-
ties of this community, and of course
they were the leaders in securing the
new high school building. All of them
are reliable business men in whom the
people can place great confidence.
The members are as follows:-Ira D..

ORATORY

The East Jordan High School has
won marked distinction this year in
oratory. Virginia Pray, the schools
representative, won first place in the
sub district contest at Harbor Springs.
She then won first place in the district
contest here at East Jordan. She then
went to Howell, Mich, for the final
State contest and while she did not

The Class of 1921

The Senior Glass of East Jordan High
School Of 1921 is next to the largest
class ever graduated from the local
school. The members of the class
have been very active in affairs of the
school.
John Gunderson, who has been pro-
minent in all school activities and espe-
cially in athletics, graduates this year.
So do Paul Franseth and Floyd Lis
KUN, both having made remarkable re-
cords in debating. In fact all of the
members of the Senior class have been
prominent enough in the activities of
the school as to be missed. Rosabelle
Danto, who has successfully led the
singing in assembly, and Martha Wag-
bo, the school artist, both finish this
year.
Several members of the Senior class
will be in school next year, others will
enter commercial lines.
The Seniors report that they will be
occupied next year as follows:

can can there be n different buying ana selling
p'ice wn"n transaction IN taking place

preciato your explanatlon.-A. H. c.
Answcr-On your statement OF the
case we do not see any excuse for your
broker not selling your stock for 3A
AS soon as the bid price reached that
figure your broker should have got that
price for your 100 shares. 1t is only
on odd lots that you have to wait for
the bid price to so higher than your
offer. OF course, to sell stocks you
have to be on the job to get the best
price, and broker might cxcusably
fail TO get 50. if only one lot brought
that price, but you say it sold there
many days. We do not see what you
expected to accomplish by buying a
stock at 3 X and selling it at 3&. Not
much profit In that.

that arc legal for savings banks.
Among the railroads we might mention
Delaware & Hudson first and refund

about 5.l0, and New York Central re-
funding and improvement 41ss, due
2O13, with odrrent yield OF about
$40 You could also invest In mort
Cages on improved real estate where
tho mortgage is guaranteed by title

amount Of the mortgage is less than
half of the value of the property. Most
of the savings banks bonds are long

where these are traded in and any quota

bonds fairly safe? Also would like to
know which you consider tho better pur-
chase now, Westinghouse Electric common
or Texas Company stock M. r.
Answer-We consider Central Yer
mont first and refunding s per cent
bonds fairly good investment, al
though the New England railroad stu
alton is quite uncertain at present. In
other words, if you have the bonds we
would not advise selling at a heavy
less, but if you were considering pur-
chase we would recommend other bonds
before we would these. The bonds are
quoted at Ga to 66 and any of the
larger bond houses would buy or sell
them. Common stocks we consider as
speculative, and especially is this true
Of oil company stocks. We consider the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing Company a we'll managed com
pany, with good proved earning power.

The Tribune prints each day tho mo-

The Tribune prints each day tho mo-
tutity dates Of all active bonds quoted
on the Ne,O York Stock Exchange. The
retnrN on bond to the inuestor depends
upon three factors: the rate Of interest
the security bears, the market p'icc
and the distance of the maturity date.
To figure the precise yield on q bond 1t
is accessory to use yield tables. but the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out By the follo'oin9 formula: Divide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate Of interest it poys, and the re-
sult aciU be the annual return. If the
bond as selling beloV par you must
alIow also for the appreciation of the
principal. To do this Subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100. and d.
vide the remainder by the number Of
years the bond has to run before mo-
turity. For example, il a 6 per cent
bond is selling at 90 and has ten gears
to run, the annual return tuill be 6.66
per cent. The difference between par
and the market price aoiu be 10 points,
subtracting 80 from 100. Diuiding ten
points By ten gears, the quotient ,giU be
/. Yhis figure is 10 be added to 6.66,
.chich is the annual return, and the re-
salt 7.66 per cent, aoill give yoa the ap-
pro ramGte yield.

opinion. The Atchson dividend seems
safe. OF the other stocks you men,

Products Call prefelrcd) arc high
grade. Bethlehem Steel per cent is
good. too. American Telephone and
Telegraph In view of the attitude Of
the company toward dividends and the
excellent showing of the company in
1920, is, we believe, good investment
risk. Ten shares of stock arc not, as
rule, harder to sell than a $1,000
bond, but the market for such lots of
stock is not so close because the unit
of trading is 100 shares in stock, and
in bonds it is 81 900 par. Buying and
selling an odd lot Of stock you have to
sacrifice from quarter to a whole
point. depending on how close the mar
ket is. The same thing in $1,000
bond calls only for the straight COM
of $150.
