ENTIRE CITY PAYS
TRIBUTE TO HER
DEAD HERO
Body of Pvt. Thomas Magner is
Brought Home From France
Military Funeral Tuesday

On Friday morning last the re-
mains of Pvt. Thomas Magner,
one of Yele's boys who died in
France arrived and was taken to
the home Of his sister, Mrs. c. D..
Halsey, south and east of the city.
Tuesday morning, from 10 o'clock
till noon, all the business places
in the city were closed, and our
people turned out to do honor to
our heroic dead at the military
funeral held in Sacred Heart
church, while men and women of
all denominations, with bowed
heads, paid their tribute Of love
and respect to the home boy who
made the supreme sacrifice in the
service Of his country
Rev. F. Dunnigan, of Flint, as
sisted by Revs. Melting of Yale
and Cotter Of Emmett, officiated
at Mass. In his address, Fr. Dun
nigany who, himself was with the
boys in France, commented on
the debt of gratitude which the
American people owe, not only to
its heroic dead, but to the boys
who came back from the battle
fields of Europe to take up their
peace pursuits.
The services were in charge of
the Frederick w. Hyde Post, Of
the American Legion, who were
accompanied by delegation
from the Charles Hammond Post,
Port Huron. There were twenty
eight of the boys in line, and the
services were very impressive.
The remains were laid to rest
in Sacred Heart cemetery,

SCHOOL EXHIBIT

The exhibition of work done by
the students in every grade of
Yale's public school, which was
open to all interested on Friday
last was viewed by a large num-
ber. In fact, if the people hadn't
been moving from room to room
in a regular procession, it. would
have been called a crowd.
Friday evening from seven to
nine or later. a steady stream
moved from the kindergarten
room to first grade, and so on up
to the high room.
Each room was beautifully dec
Grated with fragrant flowers and
the high school orchestra in the
corridor, furnished excellent
music throughout the evening.
Exhibits of the work done by
the little ones in the kindergar-
ten and first grade seemed almost
remarkable to those not accus-
toned to the splendid training
these Youngsters are receiving,
ana step by step as one visited
the higher grades the work in all
the various branches of study
showed an insight, talent by the
pupils, and a thorough instruc-
tion from those in charge of our
schools.
We can hardly go into detail
of all the worth while things
which each room and grade were
filled with, but this exhibit, got
ten together and hung with much
pains by the teachers, aided by
their pupils. was fine thing and
the visitors were thoroughly
pleased with all they saw and also
with the fine courtesy shown
them by the instructors Of the
val icus grades.

This as Been Busy Week for the
Senior Class of Yale High
School
BACCALAUREATE

The opening event of Com
mencement week of Yale high
school was the annual Baccalau-
reate services. These were held
in the Methodist Episcopal
church on Sunday evening last.
Beautiful, fragrant bouquets of
peonies decorated the altar. The
choir was composed of the var
ious church choirs united and
the hymns and anthems sung
were extremely well rendered.
Music by the orchestra, led by
Fredda Holden, opened and clos
ed the services.
The graduating class of twen-
ty girls and boys marched in to
the music Of the orchestra and
were given seats in the front body
Of the church, while parents, fac
ulty and board of education
members had seats reserved for
them The church was crowded
with interested friends.
The scripture lesson from Mark
~, "oS lCslN W lNCN, INdl, anu
prayer was made by Rev. Mumby.
Rev. Alfred Martin preached
the Baccalaureate sermon to the
class, taking for his text Mark
10th chapter, portion Of the 2lst
verse, Then Jesus beholding him
loved him."
The address was replete with
good thoughts, showing the young
people just starting on life's
road, how much there is yet to he
learned, how much there still re-
mains to be found by study and
leaving them the motto "Plus u
tra," that there is more to be at
tanned, rather than "Ne Plus u
tra," which signifies perfection,
or nothing further beyond.
The services were closed with
an anthem by the choir, Nov the
Day is Over" with solo part
rendered by Miss FELTON, and
bcnediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mumby.

Class Dav Exercises

The second function in the
commencement week program was
the Class Day exercises. These
have heretofore always been held
in the high room. but the routine
was changed this year and the
Auditorium became the scene of
action and Tuesday evening this
hall was closely filled with peo-
pie interested in school events.
The curtain rolled up, reveal
ing the members of the class Of
1921, twenty in number, seated
in a semi-circle. The girls had
elected to wear regulation
dress of white MILDLY and skirt.
and black tie, and they all looked
very neat and sensible.
At the front Of the stage, along
the footlights, ferns were placed
with lovely basket Of pink peon-
les in the center and the motto,
Find way or make one" across
the top.
The program was carried cut
as heretofore planned and pub
lished, and from the presidents
address and the salutatory to the
valedictory, interest and enthus-
iasm did not wane with the aud
ience.
The history of the class was re-
viewed with telling effect, a poem
in its honor was full Of humor:
in the Giftatory speech, numerous
articles were conferred upon the
unsuspecting members of the
class, showing up the pet little
hobbies or the supposed to be hid
den hopes; the class prophecy
drew away the curtain and
brought to light the future of
each, whether to their own salts
faction or not, was hard to tell:

S2.00 Per Year in Advance
Commencement Week
Is About Completed

the chemical experiments were in
teresting; the cartoons were
probably true to life, but we are
not artists enough to judge.
The class will appeared to div
ide whatever the members had
to leave in an impartial and fair
manner and all of the above fea-
lures were given well, very little
nervousness or hesitancy being
shown on the part of the young
people.
The class oration was a fine
effort ON the part to two of the
young men. 1t dwelt upon edu-
cation as a means to a success
full goal in life.
The program lacked the custo-
mary music as a variation, but as
the majority Of the orchestra
were members Of the class and
couldn't be in two places at once,
the omission was forgotten.
Another year has brought to
close the efforts of a class grad
uating from Yale's high school.
and it is not one whit behind
any class ever gone out before.

Your Home Town Paper

When people want to interest distant
friends in their home town they send away
copies of the local newspaper. When any,
one wants to know what kind of place a
distant town is he sends for copy of the
local newspaper. When the merchants
are full of courage and advertise freely an
impression is created among the many
people outside the town who see the paper
that this is an exceedingly bright and wide
awake business town. If at times the
merchants let up little on their adver-
Using the town does not look so good to
outsiders. Your paper, then is the rep
Fesentative-the spoAestnan-for your
community. AS your publication appears
to those outside your immediate locality,
so must your town appear to them. Edi-
torials and items of news all have their
place, but the stranger to your town will
closely follow the advertisements carried
in your paper, for by this means he judges
the character and extent of the business
