From a ootleo•tion of a dozen lug
tiabins stietching westward from
the Grand River to a city of 12,211
homes and hundreds of business
places in less than 100 years!
Such has been the growth of
Jackson, the ilub of Michigan,
since the founding of the cm mmun-
ity anti the erection of the first un-
completed log cabin by Horace
Blackman in 1830. Since that time
the city has grown—not by booms
likely to burst suddenly like a
bubble, but slowly and steadily with
a sureness which has inspired the
confidence of all in its future.
But Jackson is not living in the
past; the present is only the pass-
ing moment and Jacksonians are
not content to rest upon their pres-
ent laurels, but, with the spirit of
achievement which has carried their
city to a place among the leaders
in her class. are still working
toward the goal of a greater Jack-
son. Although 1926 was the great-
est building year in the city's his-
tory, the work of progress still goes
on with real estate, industrial and
business leaders predicting a steady
growth in the years to come.
As Seen by the Tourist.

settings. And once in the business
district the tourist is given a closer
view of the many attractive build-
ings, int•luding the 11-story Rey-
nolds "skyscraper;' the imposing
Hotel Hayes, the 11-story Consum-
er s Budding and the 13-story Jack-
son City Bank Building, now under
construction, not to mention num-
erous others which help to place
Jackson at the Cup in the business
world. Continuing on his way,
slowly through the business district

mobiles and hurrying pedestrians

From Out of the Past.
From out of the past conies the
Old Man who left Jackson to see
the world 50 years ago and whose
pressing business activities pre-
vented the carrying out of his oft-
repeated desire to skit the town of

on which the youth of his day

Instead of a pond he first oh-

stretching ahead eastward and his
automobile speeds along to the

dwellings, net in artistic lawns,
grow more imposing and there is
no sign of the skating pond fur
which he so, eagerly searches with
his eyes. Finally, tone of his •om-
panions who has been here before,
points out First street which, to
the Old Man's amazement, is a
paved thoroughfare and lined with
dwellings as far as the eye can see.
"This isn't Jackson!" the Old
Man says indignantly as the auto-
mobile turns westward on Wild-
a wood avenue and he beholds the
construction work ton the huge new
high school. But no one pays any
attention and the auto, speeds past

this connection, I wish to mention
one of our teachers, Mary Koffman,
also our illusichol who, but a child
in years, has done excellent work
during the past few years. Ilt•r
'work in our religious st•htsol is an

Spiritually, our work this year
was a sour•t• of inspiration and
pleasure, as Mr. Itegner's sermons,
through his sincerity and simpli•
city, appealed to everyone. In the
Bible class conducted by him, we
reviewed several books of the Bible,
These proved very interesting anti

classes shall be missed in tht• fu-

gained a broader vision of the

And so, financially, st•oally and

year for one cause: "to meet ton
common ground," so, that. today we
are enabled to gather in the inter-

thus to acquire as better under-
standing of a bigger and greater
