Bay City School Report
SECOND MONTH.
The second month ended on Dec. oth.
Up to that date we had enrolled 39 boys
and 49 girls—total 88. There —
cases of absence and- 2^9-effses of tardi-
“auringluT'month. Corporal pun- ;
ishmcnt was administered ip two cases.
The pupils are graded by a m'1’
which 10 is perfect, 9 excellent, 8 good, -
7 fair and any gra.de below 7 is consider- ,
ed poor.
All who reach a general average for
the month of 9 or over, in both Jessops
and conduct, have their names placed
upon the roll of honor for that month.
Honorable mention is make of all who
average 9 or over in conduct but fall be*
low that high average in lesson.
Some pupils'are endowed with bright-
er minds than others; some have had
better school advantages than others;
some have more time to study at home
than others; and some have better as-
sistance in home study than others.
Hence, it may not be possible for all to
get on the roll of honor. But every one
can behave properly and thereby win
the honorable mention for good conduct.
We hope that all parents will urge their
children to strive for this honorable
distinction.
In making out the roll of honor, the
names are grouped by grades, and the
one making the highest average in each
grade heads the list of that grade, and
the next highest is placed second and
so on; the lowest being last.
Following is the
ROLL OF HONOR—2 MONTH.

NEW YORK CASH STORE, ‘
Santa Claus Headquarters.
Santa Claus has arrived in Bay City
and has established his headquarters at
the New York Cash Store, where he is
ready to dispense dolls, toys and a
thousand and one things too numerous
to mention, just to please the children.
He has established his place at the New
York Cash Store because more people
will find him at that popular place than
anywhere else, because it is the great
bargain and advertising house of this
coast country. Now let everybody come
in and buy their Christmas toys and
goods and get a chance at the premium
lamp and doll for every 50 cents invest-
ed. Yours for a Merry Christmas

To My Friends and Patrons.
In view of the near approach of the
New Year, I must kindiv and reluctant-
ly call on all knowing themselves in-
debted to me to come forward and set-
tle up their accounts for the past year.
Please bear in mind that it takesm large
sum of money to keep up a stock of mer-
chandise commensurate with the de-
mands of a trade like mine. If my
friends will all come forward and settle
: up old arrearages, I will promise to
show them the finest stock of goods and
lowest prices ever offered to this section
during the year of 1896.
Resoectfully,

Caoking Club IJiniicr.
It will be remembered that when the
Bay City Caoking Club was organized,
the Breeze, said that its object and pur-
pose was a matter of conjecture. But
time, the unraveler of all problems, has
dispelled the mists and the laudable
purpose of the club is indicated by its
name including social features. As a
Cooking Club, the science of good cook-
ing and good living is discussed and ex-
periences enterchanged, much benefit
accruing to the membership. One of
the happiest features is the social one,
because the club always entertain royally
as only ladies can.
On Thursday evening, December 12th,
the club gave a dinner to a number of
their friends atHire s^^T^nTh^pit^
^2ii&4feae' of Mrs. E. B- Rugeley. At
the appointed time the invited guests
were escorted out to the dining room,
where a feast awaited of tempting viands
fit for the Gods. The dinner was made
up of dishes contributed by the diffeient
members of the society according to a
pre-arranged programe and the friendly
rivalry brings out the best effort of the
member'Tvhich is sublect to criticism
from a connoisseur, but the verdict of
the Breeze scribe is that the success of
all efforts was beyond criticism. The
banquet was thoroughly appreciated and
enjoyed by all present, except by Judge
Carpenter and Prof. Ladd. The Judge's
swelling corporocity bursted a button off
of his waistband while the Prof, under-
took to get on the outside of too much
tipsy pudding.
The tables were not only laden with
delicasies, but were tastily decorated
with flowers and fruits, making every-
thing all the more inviting and tempting.
After dinner the evening was delight-
fully spent in pleasant converse, games
and parlor pastimes. The ladies cer-
taily deserve much praise for their un-
tiring energies and efferts, such as are
always crowned with success. We but |
voice the sentiment of every patriotic
participant when we propose the toast
“long live the Bay City Cooking Club. '
