For More Information:

To do a word search in a newspaper, here are the steps to take. There should be a “search window” at the top left of each page.  Keep in mind, you can only search one newspaper issue at a time from any given year & month.

 Follow these basic steps:

1  A search window will automatically show up, in most cases.  If not, hit computer keys (Control) “Ctrl” and “f” at   the same time and a search window will appear at the top left of the page.

2  Type in the word or words that you want to search.  The fewer words the better.

3  The search will automatically find the whole word when you use either upper or lower case letters.  The window to the right of search lets you know how many places that it found of your word.  Each place that is found will be hi-lighted with light blue.

4  The arrows to the right of the number of places that were found, lets you go from one to the other.

6  To the right of the arrows is a the word “option” and an arrow.  If you click on the arrow, it gives you the choice to only match the whole word or just the case.  When you click on either or both choices, it will put a check mark by each choice.  If you don’t check any match type, it will automatically find the whole word in both upper and lower case.

The booklet titled RAILROAD NOSTALGIA by Eben Reed was published on May 15, 1981. Mr. Reed contracted artist Michelle MacDonald to create the cover. The artwork shows the first railroad engine used on the Flint and Pere Marquette railroad in Clio in 1859.

From the very first yearbook, the Clio High School colors were established; orange and black.

The senior class of 1907-1908 created this yearbook that shows who they were as well as some thoughts and dreams that they had. Even at the turn of the 20th century, this class had some pretty innovative dreams and vision.
