. . Our AI m Mutt: Clint In He Lived, He Laughed He Uncfersl-ood On june S. 1016. Mr. Yourd was married in Fullerton, Nebraska. to Miss Nettie Sara l.a Grange. The following year the Yourds moved to Clinton where Mr. Yourd assumed his duties as principal of C. H. S. From the first year to the twenty-fourth year Mr. Yourd had the respect and admiration of the teachers. students. and parents. Because he was the father of three children, he knew and understood young people. He was regarded not only as the principal by the students. but also as a friend with whom they could chat informally, and one to whom they could take their worries and be sure of sound advice. The teachers also spoke of him not as their superior but as one of their associates. To them he was always a real person. Parents found his cooperation invaluable in the guiding of their children. Mr. Yourd possessed an inner sense of wisdom by which he could judge people for what they really were. To him sincerity was a necessity in the building of one's character. Hue set for himself highest Christian principles. and did not live his religion on Sunday only as many do. but practiced its doctrines every day of the week. All humane men, aside from having many of the characteristics of great- ness. have one quality in common-a sense of humor. Mr. Yourd possessed the droll, serious-faced type of humor that dispelled gloom in any situation. This quality endeared him even more to his teachers and students. The final services for Mr. Yourd were held in the First Congregational church. That he had an abundance of friends was evident in the crowds that filled the sanctuary. In the closing message the Reverend H. E. Harned voiced a fitting conclusion: School is out for john Yourd? No, it's just beginning. Lessons have been assigned. l'll see you tomorrow morning at 8:20, john. Ng wal. ar
