After a great deal of hard work and many dis- ,L fwfr . 1 - - watts ! appointments, the twentieth vol- WW' ume of the Adrian High School Annual awaits your approval. As all other SICKLE Boards, we have attempted to improve our work by the mistakes of others and in turn have made many mistakes ourselves. VV e hope that the people who take our places next year will profit by our blunders. As usual. we have been supported by both the students and teachers: the business men of our city have also contributed to our success by giving their support: and for our part we give you the 1916 SICKLE. It must be remembered while reading this Annual that it is our flrst attempt in this line of work, and that we are truly amateurs.

We know that it might have been better, had we had the time and means. To those who are in the mood to criticize, we say, " Be to its faults a little blind." It would have been impossible to have produced this "Annual" with- out the aid of the student body, teachers and business men of our city. Much credit must be given to Miss Cora Palmer and Mr. Reed for their help and advice, which they have always been willing to giveg to the busi- ness men of our city, who have made the Sickle a success financially: to Mr. Finch, for his good workg and last but not least, to the Board of Editors, from whose pens most of the work in this Annual has come. HE SENIOR SICKLE is published annually for the purpose of truthfully reflecting the spirit of the student bocly of Adrian High School. In order that this issue may be termed a success, the Board of Editors have held themselves firmly to the conviction that they must give a truthful account of the spirit of our student body, as our prede- cessors have done. L. We are convinced that the spirit of this high school is not just what it should be. Toward a certain part of the students this criticism is direct- ed and we hope that these words will not fall on deaf ears. To be sure, a great deal of enthusiasm is displayed in the literary societies, in debate, in oratory and in athletics. But it is shown only by a few. There is a large majority in school who do not take interest in anything but their studies, and many times not even in these. It is these that we desire to awaken to the fact that they owe some- thir1g,to the High School. It is not the common "knockers" or "sobbers" that we are after. They are impossible. They always have existed and always will. But we don't give up hope of infusing a little "pep" into the listless ones. Adrian has been cited by Capt. Lewis, of the United States Army, as the most patriotic city of its size from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is true that the business men of the city are doing their part, and that the boys of the High School, who have affiliated themselves with the Light Guards and junior American Guards, deserve much praise for their work: but how about the loyalty of the school? It should be shown by all of the students. Many of our students believe in getting all they can out of school, but they give mighty little in return. Remember that Adrian is to be a bigger, better and busier city, so lend a hand and let the High School do its part.

In some cases there were good excuses but a little extra effort on the part of most of them would have prevented their tardiness. "The clock was slow" or "They did not get up in time" are the excuses given over and over again. But is it not the duty of the students to see that the clock is right or that they form habits of rising earlier? No business man wants his employees to arrive at their places of business just a little late, nor will the man who possesses this habit be able to hold his position. We are in the habit form- ing period of our lives, now. The business world demands men and women who make it their duty to be on time. The school work is our business, and the work that you do in High School is a sample of what you will do in the business world. Try to form habits that will help You to be efficient men and women. .Q N THIS day and age one of the great advantages in our lives is to 3- be able to express ourselves clearly and forcefully. Nothing is ac- complished now, except through organization, and one is not able to be an important factor in any organization unless he is able to express his thoughts in a concise and logical manner. Very few people attain this art of speaking without a great deal of training. In Adrian High School there are two societies that aim to de- velope the students into good speakers: the Athenian, for the girls and the Lyceum, for the boys. During the past year the interest in these organiza- tions has not been up to the standard and the students have failed to grasp the opportunity offered them. To the fellows and girls who will be in Adrian High School next year and who want to gain something that will always give you help, we say, "join one of these societies." But don't just join and attend the meetings. Be an active member and do all you can to make these societies a success.

HGGOD-BYE" Elizabeth Bredin Bliss liredin taught in Adrian High School for a year and a hall. Very few teachers have in this time endeared them- selves to the students as did Miss liredin. Her interest was not only shown in her English classes, but she took her "pep" with her out into the athletic held and to the gymnasium, where she created a great interest in basket ball among the girls. As a teacher in the schools of fhicago, we feel that Miss llredin will make good and our sincere good wishes go it with her. Winifred Ward Nliss Ward has been connected with the Adrian Public Schools since 1908. Her untiring efforts in her work have made her one of the best teachers that has ever entered Adrian High School. She has had charge of the public speak- ing, Senior Play and girls' athletics and the records made by thesc departments have been proof enough of her ability. The vacancy that will be left by Miss Ward will be one hard to till. The student body, teachers and people of Adrian wish her the best of success in her work at the University of Chicago next year. Q ,Q Frances Kirk Here is a teacher who is popular with everybody. She and "Prof," will always be remembered as being teachers who could drop their dignity when occasion called. She was al- ways interested in and always look an active part in the social events of the High School. But she also was a loyal supporter of the school in all its athletic, dramatic and musi- cal activities. lie doubt if another teacher can hold the place in the estimation of the student lvody as Miss Kirk did. ,, ,..., ,.. , .,,.., W v, , W 'f4,fN,,,..,.... -v,..,1-'rr ......,.- -,...!f1 y ve L, ,. , 1 vw if f!U.' . . ,Q f,Ef:3 .

There is no death! the dust we tread shall change, beneath the summer showers To golden grain, or mellow fruit, or rainbow tinted flowers. Although with bowed and breaking heart, with sable garb and silent: tread, We bore his senseless dust to rest, and sary that he is "dead", He is not dead, he has but passed beyond the mists that blind us here lnto the new and larger life of that serener sphere. He has but dropped his robe of clay to put his shining raiment on, He has not wandered far away-he is not lost nor gone. Though disenthralled and glorified, he still is here and loves us yet, The dear ones he has left behind he never can forget. For near us, though unseen, the dear, immortal spirit treads, All of the boundless universe is life--there is no dead!

We have now finished our High School life. In looking back. the time seems very short since we were Freshmen. During four long years we have been climbing the ladder of knowledge, only to find that it is but a stepping-stone to greater and better things. However, we feel that we have reached a mile-stone in our lives, and we are glad you are here to- night. It shows that you have an interest in our class and in what Adrian High School is doing. We are proud of the democracy of our class Its members have come from almost every walk of life. In it are to be found the sons and daugh- ters of the minister and the teacher, the lawyer and the doctor, the me- chanic and the farmer-each having the same privileges and opportunites -each preparing for his or her life work in this great and glorious com- monwealth. We especially greet our teachers. They have always been kind, cheer- ful and helpful: they have pushed many stumbling-blocks from our paths. Without their sympathetic aid, some would have given up the struggle in their pursuit of knowledge. Our parents have sacrificed greatly for us, and we hope that we can justify the confidence they have placed in us. We trust many in the class will do good and honorable work in the world, and we will always remem- ber that our parents have helped us to make possible whatever success we have. Our friends and classmates have also given us many words of encour- agement. The relation with the underclassmen has always been pleasant, and we wish them every success in their remaining years of school life. Although our class is not as large as some that have gone before us, yet we feel that some of the members are worthy of especial mention. In oratory the class has been very successful and our historians will show you their victories equally as great. We hope the class musicians will charm and delight you with their selections. The prophets will unroll our future to you and show you what our destiny is to be. We hope that every mem- ber of the class will be a success and prove a credit to Adrian High School, and that we will never be the ones to put a blot on our school's fair name. Once again, kind friends, I bid you welcome. .

It apos- trophizes liberty, union, and peace-the essentials of human hap- V73 piness. Its foundation frame, the master-work of the world! It is the cradle of liberty, the birthplace of genius, the melting-pot of the nations, the richest land in material resources! Yet amidst all this power and honor and glory there stands out this one fact,-that we are "proud but unprepared." It is the handwriting on the wall! Your land and my land is setting up its honor and independence as a rich prey for the armed powers of the world. ZQY? The ultimate question is, how much longer are we to exist in this state of unpreparedness? Who is it that cannot see that we are inviting that monster, Militarism, to set his gory spikes on our sacred soil? The Pres- ident sees it, our great statesmen see it, the press is almost unanimous in pointing out the fact, and millions of people consider steps toward arma- ment a grave necessitv. But I am ashamed to say that there are some few who oppose any steps whatever toward the security of national independence. tk ,F PF at They say 'there will be no more wars when the present European con- flict is over. It is absurd! Can they suppose that the bankrupt nations of Europe will stand aside and watch the United States enjoy the riches received at their expense? We will be like a fat spring lamb among a pack of hungry wolves. Pl: it it it Some will claim that armament will be a departure from national traditions and policies. They may call it that if they wish, but if our tradition policy points out the fact that we have been unprepared all these years, it is high time that we should change. Indeed, our policy has been such! From our earliest history our fore- fathers have shcd their blood most freely because they were unprepared. Notwithstanding their great show of patriotic zeal at the Battle of Bunker Hill, the American troops were driven from their well-fortified position because they were only raw recruits and could not withstand the assault of the disciplined soldiers of Britain. Washington was forced to winter at Valley Forge because his men had no training. The Father of our Coun- try once said, "Had we a standing army in the beginning, we should never have had to cross the Delaware in 1776, trembling for the fate of America." if vt :F nl' :F The most striking instance of useless loss of life came in our Civil War. Five hundred thousand Americans went down in cold blood during the four wasting years of this confiict. And the reason P-The 1 ' ' I is semen acute I5 ' al ,I north was unprepared to quell a rebellion in its early stages. Other equal- ly deceptive arguments are advanced by the pacilists. Perhaps the future generations of America will forgive them on the ground of misled convic- tions. On the other hand we have those who are classified as extremists for their highly radical views on armament. But the harm they do is slight com- pared to that done by those who still insist on "peace at any price." In- deed, there is one statesman who is held up before the public as an extrem- ist to whom the American people are greatly indebted. It is he who coin- ed that very phrase which has brought the nation to the threshold of a ref- ormation. His attitude toward this great national issue is not to be wholly condemned and the country is in need of men of such a patriotic character as his. The coming generations will thank him for his services. Those who clamour for "peace at any price" do not seem to know what they are doing. They cannot comprehend what the outcome of the position which they have taken will be. I see that scene in future times when those who could not choose for themselves are giving their lifeblood for those pacifists who choose their future for them. A host of invading warriors has set foot on our continent! Our Hag is torn down and trampled in the dust! Cities are razed, industry is crushed, the people are subjected to a tyrannical rule and all the honor and glory of the United States goes down in ruin! :F it :fi if il: The republic is a failure! But lo! the scene changes. Before me I see the triumph of reason! Common sense is the victor! I see the stars and stripes Heating over a land at peace! Greater industries have sprung up. The highest position of honor and respect among nations has been earned. The republic has proven that democracy may wisely foresee and sufficiently prepare. And behind all this wealth and glory, I see a loyal citizenry, trained to the use of arms and ready at a moment's notice to repel the mammon God of Con- quest. It is a new age of human development and civilization! It is needless to ask you in which of these two scenes you would rather participate. But before the setting for the latter may be completed, there are a multitude of things to be accomplished. Our president says that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety are uttered within our own borders. Foreigners, welcomed to America and nurtured under the American Hag, are determined to bring this country into the European struggle. "These creatures of treason and ingratitude must be crushed out." They must be taken from our soil before we can rest in peace. Let us have no hyphenated Americans. Let Americans be Americans-loyal, steadfast and true! Let the socialists cease their clamours and let all in- ternal strife and anarchy be brought to a quick end. Let us put some new ideals before us and think not only of receiving protection from the Hag li as sem en sacmte. ua . . 1. sa " Z iii but of protecting that flag. Remember that individuals have a duty to perform to the nation as well as the nation has a duty to individuals. Let our congressmen keep their fingers out of the so-called "pork-barrel" in making their appropriations for the national defense. Let them acknowl- edge that there is a grave possibility of a war. Let them say that we have sufficient funds to provide for adequate defense and last of all let them remember that their first duty is to the people whom they represent. The faith of the republic is pinned on them and let them recognize that their honor and self-respect requires them to do their duty as they have sworn to do it. Now, in our present weakness, the very motto on our coins seems to mock us. The inscription reads, "In God We Trust." It points a linger of folly at us and reminds us that "God helps those who help themselves." For, as long and as Right and Wrong exist in this world, conflicts between nations will be inevitable" Right and Wrong will always exist. It is left for the "Right-doers to protect the Right from the Wrong-doersf' So let us prepare.

Agnes: "How green we were in our Freshman year, and how perfect- ly unconscious we were of it." Mildred: "Yes, and what a crash came at our first exams." Agnes: "Well, I should say! We had such a small class to begin with and then to have about half of them Hunk was perfectly terrible." Mildred: "Oh, well, it takes quality and not quantity, and you know we were the winners of the most E's that year." Agnes: "And do you remember what Mr. Gallup said about our first organization? ' Mildred: "Why, I don't believe I do." Agnes: "He said our meetings were conducted in the most able man- ner of any freshman class he had ever known." Mildred: "Ray Wenzell was our class president that year." Agnes: "He was another one that left us. He was such a good scholar, and then he surely did do wonders on the basket ball team." Mildred: "Our class could not boast of many athletes, however." Agnes: "It is precious few games the boys won, but the girls always made good, never losing a game." Mildred: "Who was our Sophomore president?" Agnes: "Don't you remember? It was Donald Frazier. That was the year we won in the Declamation Contest." Mildred: "That's right, Harry Patrey and Bill Shepherd gained those honors for us." is semen sac:-sts ua n' S I l l. eq Agnes: "Harry was fine at that. just think he won second place in oratory in our junior year and first place our Senior year.

Mildred: "How dignified and exalted we did feel when we returned and were Seniors." Agnes: "Let's see, Harry Patrey was our president that year and how well he managed all our squabblesf' Mildred: "Our class was so small after our freshman experience that in the September of the last year we had but fifty-five." Agnes: "In the midst of our last year came Leland Penn's death. His death was a distinct loss to every member of our class. His kind per- sonality had made him many friends."

Nl I l V CLASS PROP l-IECY Frances Fools and Frances Culler TIME-September, 1930. SCENE--An old fashioned parlor. Two old spinsters, Frances Foote and Frances Cutter. Their near neighbor, who had recently moved to New York, Ruth Hoadley. A married lady from New York, Gladys Whitney. Foote: "Here comes a messenger boy up the walk. Who do you suppose is dead now?" Cutter: "I-Ieavens! I don't know. You go to the door." Foote: "No, you go, Cutter. You always were better for receiving shocks." fCutter goes to the door: enters, reading, and much excitedj "Will arrive on the 2:30 train, bringing old friend with me." Foote: "A friend, who do you suppose could be interested in two old spinsters? and 2:30! Why, it's after that now." Cutter: QWalking to window and looking outfj "And here they come!" Both exit. Cfrom outsidej: "Why, there's Gladys Whitney! Who'd ever know her!-Why, how do you do? How are you P And how's Walter?" land numerous other remarksj Clfintering Ruth and Foote: Gladys and Cutter following.j Gladys: "Oh, what a cozy little house you girls have!" Cutter: 'ADO take off your things and get warm, it's such a horrid day." QBoth take off wraps and seat themselvesj Ruth: "Well, I can't make myself believe we four are together again." Foote: "You certainly have had loads of experience, Gladys. Do tell us about New York and some of the styles. I suppose we look back- woodsey to you." Gladys: "Well, let me tell you. I was in Wanamakefs the other day, looking at some of the fall styles, and whom do you suppose I saw? Helen Davis, acting as a model." Cutter: Oh, no! Helen Davis who used to be in our class! Well, who'd have thought that of her?" Gladys: "And there was "Bill" Shepherd up to his old tricks, walking around and flirting with all the good-looking models." Foote: "Too bad! Too bad! I was in hopes that Bill would out- grow those early tendencies." Ruth: "Speaking of Bill, did you ever hear what become of Donald Frazier?" marry Geraldine Greenwald now, he always had a little spark of love for as semen sncnta ua ll I " i Cutter: "Why, yes. Haven't you heard of his fame as an engineer? He has just completed a bridge over the famous Raisin. " Gladys: "Good! I always thought that Donald would fulfill hiS youthful promises, and bring honor to our class." Foote: "I was reading in the paper that Illah Myers and Ethel Williams were to be in Carl Buehrc1"s latest production entitled, "Who Slapped Ethel in the Mouth With the Po'k Chop?" Oh, I wish I could have seen it and both of the girls. I can't imagine it, but Carl always was a deep thinker." Cutter: "We certainly did have a lot of musical talent in our class. We had the opportunity of attending a Chautauqua entertainment last summer and, much to our surprise, who should appear on the program but Marvel Garnsey and Margaret Briggs. It certainly was a delight to hear them again-the first time since Class Day." Ruth: Wouldn't I liked to have seen them!-and another person, Beatrice Richardson, you know she and her assistants, Edith Soule, Mildred Snyder and Annette Mott, have been making some stirring addresses in Boston on VVoman Suffrage." Foote: "Say, they are something to be proud of!" Gladys: "They surely are, but what of our art editor, Mamie O'I-learn? I expected a lot of her. Cutter: "Mamie? She has just returned from studying in an art school in Germany." Ruth: "Oh, say! I got a letter from Mrs. Cutler, formerly Ruth Vedder, telling me all her troubles. She's suing for a divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty. I don't blame her a bit, you know Gerald always was picking on someone. She said that she thought Gerald would probably 'Gerry.' " Gladys: "Poor Ruth, certainly she has had her troubles. I hope he'll be better to Geraldine." Foote: "I'm getting away from the subject, I know. But the fun- niest thing occured the other day and I haven't been able to think of a single thing since. Our old horse 'LDolly" was sick and there was a new veterinary surgeon in town and so I sent for him. And who do you sup- pose came up but john Fint. john didn't miss his calling, he always was good at doctoring ponies." Ruth: "Well, now, Gladys, tell us something of your trip abroad." Gladys: "It certainly was funny, the number of people I bumped in- to that I knew. Going over on the ship was Charles Ashley, Lyle Langdon and Henry Wickham. You know Lyle is one of the greatest professors of languages in the world. I-le speaks ten languages now and is still learning is sem en sucnus ua 3' ,,, more. Charles Ashley was going for a rest. You know that he was the active factor in the doing away entirely with cigarettes. Henry VVickham was a professor of physics and was going to study some special thing- They are all married. Charles married Adaline Dawson. You remember she was such a cute girl. Henry married Katherine Skeels, but divorced her because she wanted to dress too fashionably. Lyle married Alice Peterson and they get along just line together." Foote: "Just think! There are six out of our class married, but we have some old maids, anyway. Gretchen Seibert and Faye Coye are nurses and they like it so well that they won't give it up. Then Meta Calkins, Edna Reed and Doris Reed are living together on a homestead in Montana lighting centipedes and rattlesnakes. They certainly have my sympathy. Still, I don't know whether it's worse to do that or to try to stop the plague in China as Bessie Strong and Medea Peterson are doing." Ruth: "It seems as if they could have found something else to do, doesn't it? But say, just think! most of the rest of the class are mar- ried. julia Abbott and Everett Bird are living about ten miles from here on one of Mr. Abbott's farms and are happier than ever." Cutter: "Yes, and Leonard Morse and Caroline Robins are married and living in Riga. Leonard is Justice of the Peace out there. I saw him a few weeks ago and he said that he had just had the office a little while, when he had the honor of marrying Klea Smith and "Soapie" jackson. They ran away to get married. You know "Soapie" is one of the greatest arguers in the politics of the United States." Gladys: "Well, let me tell you. The other day I went into a tea- room that had just opened and who should be running it but Rosella Lewis, Agnes VanDeusen and Marie Moxson. They had a very clever little place." Foote: "Well, that's what I wanted to do, but Cutter wouldn't see it that way, so here I am, doing nothing." Ruth: "Our class surely did take to 'eats,' Garnette Laudenslager, Gertrude Spielman and Clara McClouth are running a bakery at Dough- nut Center." Cutter: "Have you noticed our new policemen? We surely have a large force now Merle Kerr, LaVelle Hoagland and Norman Schoen have had the honor bestowed upon them of guarding the four corners." Gladys: "Everyone else in our class is either married or engaged. Of course, you know about Marjorie Conlin and Lawrence Bevins. They have acquired great wealth and Marjorie has as her companion, Gertrude Haig. jo and Harry are married now. You know jo was engaged before she left school but she changed her mind and switched off." Ruth: "Well, girls, I might as well tell you that I, myself, expect to be married soon to Karl Smith." as semen sscnta as li .,,, Foote: "Ruth Hoadley, you are a peach! Why didn't you tell us be- fore? Cutter, you see we might as well give up all hopes now." Gladys: "Do look at the time! Here it's four o'clock now and our train leaves at four-thirty." QPutting on wrapsj "I surely have enjoyed this visit and I hope that if you come to New York, you'll not fail to see Walter and myself." CRuth and Gladys exitj Cutter and Foote: "Goodbye, and be sure to come again soon." Foote: "What a cruel fate indeed is ours! Wealth, beauty, talent- everything to make us attractive and admired, here in this nunnery of the hills. Our watchword, "Nit," with or without the 'K.' " Cutter: "As if we had committed some awful crime that shuts us out of men's society forever." Foote: "If we only had one man it would be something."

First: We order and direct that all our just debts and funeral ex- penses be paid by the executor in a reasonable length of time. Second: We give, devise and bequeath to the Juniors the following estate, both real and imaginary: 1. The Senior "Dignity" and all the Senior privileges you can dig up. 2. The following, who have been our companions since our entrance into this glorious institution and with whom we now have to part: Ed- ward Isley, Chandler Bond, Forrest Colvin, Leland Deibele, Lawrence Hughes, Hazen McComb, Rex Nottingham, Leon Pierce and Leslie Pierce. Third: We leave to the Sophomores the exclusive rights to sell season tickets for Chapel to the Freshmen. Fourth: VVe will and bequeath to different members of the Faculty the following: 1. To Miss May R. Patch,a very sad little story entitled, "The End of Patience," or "Why 'Friend George' got a Blue Slip." 2. To Mr. F. D. Sturtevant, a philosophic treatise by Kit Carson on "The Reward of Dignity." 3. To Mr. Orville A. Powers, a short discourse on "Crafting Trees." We don't know much about it, but it sounds feasible. 4. To Miss Frances Kirk, a handy family manual by an experienced housewife entitled, "The Chagrin of Satan," or "How I Keep 'Friend Hubby' at Home Nights." Fifth: We, and various of our numbers, give and bequeath to certain students of the High School the following: 1. To Carl Dean, Leonard Morse leaves all the gentle arts with which he CMorsej so completely captivated the High School girls. Now that Morse is gone, a clear field is left to Mr. Dean, and he advises Carl to 7 .. 3. . . 1,3 as semen SIQKLEWIBQS 1 lf. .iilii35?EiE??TlT!Tll3EHWYENEEQ'2?E'E?'31??T1Q5fT?'f5Ff '2 .3 take it early next year as there is no doubt that he will reap a rich harvest. 2. Gerald Cutler wills that some other fellow may go up to see Thelma next year when he is away at college, but he still reserves the right of having a date any time when he is home on a vacation. 3. The gentle art of spreading the salve and of taking up as much time as possible in one way or the other, in which so many of our class were extremely proficient, is now willed to john Dunn to be held by him and his heirs forever. 4. The SICKLE Board leaves ts "office" to its successors with the ad- vice that they do not have as many "rough houses" in it as the present in- cumbents. 5. To the Musical Department of the school, the class leaves a very touching little ballad entitled, "Meet Me at the Bakery Because That Is Where I Loaf." Sixth: In view of the fact that there are no undergraduates worthy of ill Lyle Langdon's language ability, 62D Mamie O'Hearn's artistic ability and C35 "jo" Symond's giggle, we instruct the executor to keep them in the office safe until someone worthy of them is found. Seventh: In grateful memory we give and bequeath all the residue of our estate, real, personal, and mixed, wheresoever it may be found, and of whatsoever it may consist, to our esteemed friend and loyal compatriot, Lucius Judson. Eighth: We hereby nominate and appoint Ernest J. Reed sole execu- tor of this, our last will and testament, and we hereby authorize the ex- ecutor to follow out and comply with all the provisions of this document in as short a time as possible. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this first day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixteen. HARRY BEE PATREY.

The four years of our High School career are finished. While we cannot live them over again in real- ity, we will often think of them and recall the pleasures of our High School life. The last year has gone like a whirlwind. The events have piled themselves upon one another in such rapid succession that for a time we are dazed. It will not be until we are away that we will come to realize the value of the things we have learned here. Sometimes we think that, if we had it all to do over again, it would be done so differently. I wonder if we should have the chance what altera- tions we would make. I do not doubt but that when we should have reached the end again, we would say with Henry VanDyke:- "What's that? I've had another day and wasted it again? A A priceless day on empty dreams, Another chance in vain?" Here we are again at the crossing of the roads. We alone can make the choice which will lead us to success or failure, the two possibilities ahead. None of us can tell what awaits us. It is for us to go out and see for ourselves. Which of these roads shall we follow? What course shall we take? No one can decide for us. This time we must make our own decision. Our future lies in the choice we make of all the roads which to. day are open to us. A few may follow several roads, only traveling a short time on each one, always looking about for a smoother, easier path, only to find in the end that they have wasted much valuable time. Others will keep on one road, trudging along, rather slowly, perhaps, at times, but will eventually reach some end worthy of their efforts. What a small part, and yet how complete a part we play in this world. We are rushed here and there by the life flood. Sometimes we receive hard knocks. While at school we were sheltered from these by the pro- tecting hand of our instructors. They have endeavored to train us in such a way that we will be able to cope with the trials of life. Our petty wor- ries and trials at school have only served to prepare us for the greater things to come. We all hate to say "good-bye." Still there will be many times when a farewell must be said. We must not dwell on the sadness of leaving one another, for we must think of what lies before us. While we wish to keep as a precious memory that which has been beautiful during our High School life, we must look upon it as a beginning rather than as an end. When we have taken the last fervent farewell, we must turn back no more but keep our eyes ahead, for the oftener we take another parting glance at the old things, the harder it will be to strike out into the unknown. Therefore, in behalf of the Class of 1916, I bid you farewell. I I8 sem en slc L ua ll ' ' I I . E THE WHITE AND THE BLUE Lyric by Grelchen Seiberl, Music by Ernesl R. Ball FIRST VERSE In the dear old town of Adrian, The spot I love the best, VVhere the maple trees grow taller, And the elms are of the best, Is a school of reputation For its honor and its worth, And to me it can't be beaten By a single place on earth. CHORUS Oh! hail to our High School, our dear old High School, Our colors, pure white and true blue, Come join with your voices, All nature rejoices In rich tones so pleasing to view, Oh, dear is each High School friend, Sweet is the charm they lend, Each in his own pleasing way: For we will be true to the white and the blue, And to Adrian's old High School days. SECOND VERSE Oh! sweetly the days will linger In mem0ry's chamber hall, And friendship, true and tender That at times we will recall, And our lives will be the brighter As we battle with our fears, And we climb the hill of knowledge Through the vista of the years.

In that Hrst year they had the Upper Classmen sewed up in a Sack when it came to Talent. The Girls, too, made a Decided Hit because they were Novelties. The next year these Young Hopefuls, having cut their Wisdom Teeth, started bravely up the Ladder of Success. The King Pins in the other Classes were soon forced to recognize the Better Element The third year was an Eventful One for the Climbers. They won Cham- pionships in Foot Ball and Basket Ball, but they didn't let that bother them any. They were capable of It and they knew It. During that year sev- eral troublesome times arose. The Members of this Class put on Cor- rugated Brows and looked serious until the Clouds blew over. Present indications all go to show that the Obstreperous Children will take an Important Place in the Brain Factory next year. Let the Other Young Hopefuls relinquish hope as the Class of '17 has a Corner on all the Bright Lights.

VVe think that the faculty could not have chosen a better combination. The Editor-in-Chief, Wallzlce Page, is one of the fellows of whom Adrian High School is proud, and she is justly so. He has been active in all school affairs, and also has the highest scholarship record of his class. With these achievements, together with his popularity, we think the choice could not have been improved. The Business Managers, VValker Gibford and Ross Bittinger, are very able students, who also have been active in school. With inen of this type in charge, we know that the 1917 SICKIJE will be a success in all departments.

A young boy crept down its length, and, stopping before the door of one of the most de- crepit of the dwellings, reverently greeted the old man seated upon a rug spread over the doorstone. Roused by the words, he raised his eyes from an old and tattered volume which he had been diligently perusing, "Ah boy," he said, "have you come for the story?" Y "Aye, Sire," the youth replied, 'tif you would read even a short one I would be very grateful." The elder gazed at the book he held in his hand and responded, "I will tell you the history of a wonderful race that I have been reading about in this old volume: "Once upon a time Qfor all true stories begin this way! there was a band of people called Freshites, who, unsatisfied with their old location, desired to migrate to a country toward the east called School. They set out with all their possessions and when they reached this promised land, found it to be even more productive than they had thought in the growing of brains and wit and many other things they needed in their daily life. The old in- habitants of this wonderland, aroused and alarmed by these new arrivals, gathered together and made a great noise of fear and protest. f'But these Freshites remained undaunted, refusing to be ousted from this wonderful country. Their leader, George the First, piloted them safe- ly through their first year of life in the new land and proved a ruler of wisdom and courage. In the contests of strength and muscle they were all- conquering and gained the leadership in the sport called basket ball and provided a Hflaming torch" to lighten the path of the base ball team. "Their women, exceedingly young and beautiful, had great gifts of speaking and astonished the elders with their use of the silvery tongue. "The next year the Wise Fates brought to them from a far country a worthy staff to lean upon, one cane CKoehnD, which came from a famous city, full of strength and power to rule these people, who by reason of their increasing power in the land, were by that time called Sophites. The men that year had become weakened from much study and perhaps late hours. Therefore they stood but second in the sports. The tribeswomen, greatly aroused by these misfortunes, rose up, winning many victories in athletics. By their bright colors, which were most startling, they dazzled the older tribes and spread great light over the country. "They entertained the older tribes with a wonderful spectacle which was unique in its originality and perfection. Their fame soon spread over V asf E' as scm on sucnu: me 3 l ll its 'Il - s , ---I . the country and a great future was predicted for every member of the band-. " "Oh, Sire," breathed the boy, "tell me more of this strange and wonder- ful race." "I cannot," he replied, "for this volume is but a half of their glorious history. Perhaps, some day, I will discover an old and musty volume, which will contain the rest of this tribe's history." As he spoke, the sun slipped down out of sight as though it had waited for the conclusion of the ancient's story and then had gone on its way to the west, full of this wonderful tale. fir i in if Xb tj, if al 'ff fi ' as wfj, e i as c?QQi'llhfl4 ,.

II U' 1 - ' . F RESHMAN CLASS HISTORY HEN the Class of 1919 came forth on that September morning to appear before, and, as we supposed, to receive judgment from the upper classmen, the tables were turned, and we placed our judg- ment on the under classmen of the Junior High, for with this year came the inauguration of the junior High School. After several hours of diligent work, Qduring which the students made themselves familiar with the various roomsj a great menace arose against the Freshmen, or rather the Seniors of junior High. With the passing of classes came the sound of many queer gesticulations at either end of the hall. A close examination of this revealed the fact that several of our honorable classmen found that the stairs were too long to descend the or- dinary way, and therefore were allowing themselves to descend in the more progressive manner of sliding down to the Hoor below. Soon, however, we settled down to a reasonable pace, and then began the honors. With the fall season came foot ball and with this came glories to the class. Did we not see more men on the first team of our class than any other? Did we not also see Victory after victory approach us in the interclass games? Of this we are duly proud. but we did not rest here. With time came an invitation from the Senior High to appear in a body at a mass meeting to be held in their building. Here again the class of 1919 displayed its "Pep." In this meeting the Athletic Association be- gan its campaign for membership and when this campaign was closed it was found that, although we were in the Junior High, there were, nevertheless, more members of the Athletic Association in our class than in any other. Then came a lull in this progressive Work, and it was several weeks before another opportunity appeared. This came in the form of a trip to Monroe with the basket ball team. An attempt was made by some of our superiors to arrange for a special train to transport the "Rooters ' of the High School to that city, but it met with little success. A week previous to the game, some of our illustrious boosters started out on a campaign to secure a car on the T. 8: W. for the same purpose. This met with great success, and was the climax to a successful year for us. Now, up to this time all these feats had been accomplished without even the class being organized, but in February we decided that it would be proper for a class with the standing of ours to be led by a suitable presi- dent. This we found in the form of a man by the name of Smith. He had already made a good name for himself by pushing, and in every way possible making a better and more worthy class. We now look upon the world with a fearless eye, as we have an exceptionally strong organization to back us up. I , l I8 SENIOR SICKLE I l Q?

"Hm," he muttered, "how I wish I could scream aloud. It is so dark and gloomy here." "That is the way I feel," said a seat a few feet away. "Now that there is no one here to annoy us, let us have a chat by ourselves. It is such a relief not to have some one pouncing on me every few minutes." "Well," broke in a voice from the rear of the room, "You would have something to complain about if you had my burden. Why, if Bill Shep- herd doesn't give me a rest soon I will have a collapse." A disturbance was heard from the platform. "I think I am the worse abused of any one here. From morning until night I receive a continual beating. I understand that Miss Patch is try- ing to instill discipline, but I wish she would pad that instrument called a ruler, or have mercy on me," whined the platform desk. "I believe Iam fortunate," said a small plant box, reclining in the back window. "I get along nicely, and even have kind attention from your abuser, brother desk. But sometimes a thoughtless person drops the curtain on my head and someone is always testing me to see if I am pars- ley. This situation is pleasant, however, and it will not be long before I get out into the world." "That is true," piped a book from under a desk, "and I never go out into the open, except when once a day I am grabbed from here and pushed back again in the same haste. My companions around me often tell of all the strange things they encounter. Sometimes they go to a foot-ball game, or even to the 'movies.' " The dictionary said, Iaughingly, "I am quite amused at the scholars that pore over me each day. They pull my leaves and mutter to them- selves, but I know they will never remember those long words they write down." "I, too, am only used as a source of information. I am only a picture hanging upon the wall, and no one looks at me except upon request. I sometimes hear a person saying, 'I never noticed this before,' or, 'What is the name of this?' But then, I am thankful for that little attention." "Indeed, you are lucky not to be molested," scolded the bulletin board. "Items are posted upon me daily from dry literature to a basket- ball game. I always know when heavy strokes are forced on me, that something exciting is going to happen. Of course, I am quite popular, es- peciaIly," he laughed, "if the result of a victorious game is seen on me." I as semen sacuua I5 1' ' I N 'I A slight chuckle was heard from the trophy cabinet. "The High School has had pretty hard luck in athletics for a few years. I don't seem to receive any more pictures of champion teams, but am patiently waiting for one. From what l hear of the stars this year, I think I will have possession of another before long. It gets so tiresome looking at the same old articles in the same places, and the students very seldom notice me." "Oh, will you please cease this grumbling and let me rest," said a near-by seat despairingly. "The night is quickly passing and my torment- ors will soon be back again. They keep up a continuous babble back here all the day. It certainly is the noisiest corner in the room." t Q 93-4,15 . . . , f,,, , ,, ,V ,, . ,, me semen sugntrsg 15, I l.

A 3 I l 1 EI EN C raham and her sister Mollie, were quietly sitting in the li- brary, idleing away their time. Mollie soon grew uneasy and went liiiiflfllil to the window to watch the falling rain. For this was one of those days in late spring when it rains and rains until a'l the world seems a very dreary place. "O, dear!" sighed Mollie. "I do wish the postman would hurry up and come. I hope that he brings me a letter, or an invi- tation, or something to relieve this awful monotony." Helen wisely kept silent, for she well knew that when Mollie was in a mood of this kind, it was best for her to hold her tongue. Silence was one of Helen's chief traits. It seemed to her that she could never think of anything to say, when it was time for her to say it. At school, when Mr. Prim would say, "Now, Miss Helen, what is the date of the battle of Blen- heim?" her brain would be thinking, "seventeen hundred-four," while her tongue would be saying, "I don't know." If it hadn't been for Helen's ability to write a good test, her grades would have been sadly lacking at the end of the month. On the other hand, Mollie's active mind was al- ways working, so that she was ready to make a quick response whenever called upon, but her brain had the stability of a sieve in retaining what she learned. The postman was soon sighted coming down the walk. Mollie rushed eagerly to the door to meet him and received, to her joy, several letters. Among them was an invitation. 'lOh, Helen, "she cried, l'we're in- vited to a party, a conversation party over at Doris Blair's on April 30th, and she wants us to come early, in order to help her receive the guests. Now, isn't that grand! and you can wear that new dream of a party dress of yours. It will be just the thing." "Very grand, indeed," replied Helen, " but what would I do at a con- versation party? I wouldn't be able to think of one thing to say." l'Well, you're going to go anyway," laughed her undaunted sister, "so you can just begin to plan your conversation from now until then." At last the night of April thirtieth Came. Helen and Mollie arrived early, as Doris desired, and while they were talking over Doris' plans for the evening, there came a timid knock at the door. The hostess went to see who was there and was confronted by a small boy, who said, f'My brother, Jimmie, he's got the measles and he can't come. He said for me to tell you he'd written, for he thought he was going to be alright. And, O say--he said I should say that he was most awful sorry." With that the small elf was off like a deer, and Doris came back with a look of dis- may on her face. is semen sic:-its as 1' I H i "'l "O girls, what am I going to do? jimmie Brown has the measles, and now there won't be boys enough to go round." "I will just slip out the back door and never be missed, and that will make, matters alright," suggested Helen, starting to suit her action to the words. "O, nothing like that," replied her hostess, grasping her by the arm. After pondering for a few moments, her face suddenly cleared, and she said, "I'll tell you what I can do. Now, there's old Uncle Henry, you know. He is almost eighty, but I believe I can press him into service. He's deaf, but can hear fairly well with his ear trumpet, and he'd enjoy having the girls talk to him. He likes young people real well." VVhen the guests had all arrived there were fourteen, counting Uncle Henry. The boys were given slips .of paper with the names of the girls on them, in the order that they were to converse. Helen saw coming towards her a boy with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. She wondered what he would wish her to talk about. He polite- ly seated himself at a table near her and said that his topic of conversation was "silence" Helen felt that she could play that part very admirably, and so for five full minutes they sat in perfect silence. At the end of that time, when the bell sounded for all to change, the boy looked at her and laughingly said, "Well, you 're a brick, you're the first girl I ever knew who could keep still for more than a minute at a time. I am going to try it on the others and see if they catch on as quickly as you did." Soon Helen saw coming towards her Bobbie Smith, who sat next to her at school and who always gave a little chuckle to himself every time she said, "I don't know." "Well, there's one thing that I won't do this time, and that is to say, 'I don't know' to one thing that he says to me," determined Helen. Bobbie came, grinning, and in exactly the manner of Mr. Prim said, "Miss Helen, who was Cedric the Saxon?" "Why, he was our Great Dane Dog, and named for some ancient man in history," re- plied Helen. "He was the best watch-dog that any one could have ever owned." She rambled on, telling of Cedric's various accomplishments, until she had Bobbie in gales of laughter. I By this time she was beginning to like talking, and when she saw bashful Henry Dennison, with cheeks blushing like a baldwin apple and eyes with a most woe-begone expression in them, coming in her direction, she began to take a sort of motherly interest in him. He suggested that they talk about tennis, but she knew very well that he knew nothing about that at all, and so she said, "I don't believe you like parties very well, do you?" "Like 'em," he grumbled with a scowl, "well, I should think not. I wouldn't have come a step, if mother hadn't made me. Besides, this collar that I've got on is just about two sizes too small." Helen laughed and switched the topic to baseball, in which she knew Henry is semen s ucnt U 3' had the deepest interest. When the bell sounded for them to move again, Henry left with a face as broad with a smile as it had been long with a frown when he came. Now had come her turn to visit old Uncle Henry, who was out on the veranda, because he did not like the noise inside. "Well, little girl," he said, "suppose we just sit still and be quiet and you can be thinking about what you are going to say to your next partner. You see I'm getting sort of tired, not being used to so much entertaining. That last girl that was here, I asked to talk on artificial diamonds. You know that's my hobby. Well, I guess she didn't understand, or something, for she began to talk about the glass factory over at Pondersfield, and I couldn't get her stopped nohow. She just went on and on like a machine." After this he said no more and both kept perfectly quiet, which suited Helen very well. Inside, Mollie was telling how well she entertained Uncle Henry. "He asked me to talk about artificial diamonds, but as I didn't know anything about them, I quickly changed the subject without him ever knowing it, and told all about the glass factory. He was so thrilled and interested that he couldn't think of anything to say at all." When they had all finally gone the rounds and the reckoning came, it was found that the Graham girls had the highest number of votes, and they both had the same amount. They had agreed to draw cuts to see which was the best conversationalist, when Doris suddenly remembered that Uncle Henry hadn't voted. Just then he came in and said in his very blunt way, "I vote for the little Graham girl, that one with brown hair, not that one that chatters so and is a regular chatterbox. Now, for my part, I think that one little girl is about the best conversationalist that I ever met." After Helen had received her prize, which was a small book containing quotations, and was idly fingering the leaves, her glance fell on this quota- tion, "Speech is silver, silence is golden." She smiled upon reading it, but she sincerely felt she had gained a reward in being able to keep silent where others had had to talk. ff' g i-gh if if 55? " 343 S r "A IVIYTI-I." Gerlrude Haig NCE upon a time there lived in a far away country two children by the names of Frederick and Gettra. Their parents being dead, they lived with their grandmother, who supported them by obtain- ing work from a village ten miles distant. Their home was a small cottage just at the edge of a dense forest. The children were forbidden to enter this forest, but one day Frederick said, "Gettra, as grandmother has gone to the village and we have nothing to do, suppose we take a walk in the forrest." At first Gettra was some- what reluctant, but, after a little persuasion from Frederick, she consented, and hand in hand the two children entered the forest. They had gone quite a way beneath the shady giants of the forest, when they suddenly came to an opening in which stood an old man, mak- ing statues from clay contained in a large kettle. At first the children were a trifle afraid of him and were half inclined to run away, especially as his back was toward them and he had not yet seen or heard them. Presently Frederick said to Gettra in a studiously courageous tone, "I am not afraid of him, I am going to ask his name." So, stepping boldly up to the old man, he asked in a voice that trembled a little in spite of his knightly res- olution: "Mister, will you please tell us your name?" The old man turned and the children were more frightened than ever, for his long beard which nearly swept the ground, and his great shaggy eyebrows, made him look very fierce, but they saw that his eyes had a kind expression in them, for all that, as he answered slowly, "My name P-my name? why, I sup- posed everyone knew my name. I am Father Time. That is my Scythe that hangs on yonder tree." And the children, looking where he pointed with his long, bony finger, saw the wonderful scythe that mows down days, years, griefs and hopes. It had a long blade, which was very sharp, and the handle was very long and must have been very heavy. After they had examined the scythe sutiiciently they again turned to the old man and asked what he was making. "These," he said, "are the seasons. I have just enough clay in that kettle to make them." All the time he was talking he was busily shaping an arm for Spring, and as turned to put it in its place, Frederick took a handful of the clay, and with a hasty good-bye, the children started for home. A few days after this, a Fairy came to them and told them that Father Time lacked just that handful of clay to finish the seasons. And that just before the opening, each season would come and demand the clay that be- longed to it, tell them a story and give them a present. About this time their grandmother died, leaving the children alone. 0 1 I IS semen sucnte I6 3' x "I It was the last night of February, and the children were sitting near the fire with the lump of clay between them on the floor. The door softly opened and in tripped the most beautiful maiden the children had ever seen. She had long, tlaxen curls, and her light blue eyes lighted up a guileless, laughing face. As she came in, she demanded part of the lump of clay that should make her nose and complete her beauty. The children gave it to her readily and she quickly shaped it and put it in its place. The children saw that her beauty was complete. She sat down and talked with them a few minutes and then sprang up and, as she disappeared, a burst of spring blossoms floated through the open door, filling the room with their beauty and fragrance, and the cheery voice of Spring was wafted back in the words, "Remember, children, I bring you golden opportuni- ties, delicate flowers, smiles and tears." Spring tied, and soon it was the night for Summers appearance. The children were seated near the door, watching the sunset in purple and gold behind the vine-clad hill, when they saw a tall, stately and very beautiful lady coming toward them. She had soft brown eyes, and a manner that was easy and gentle. She had beautiful june roses in her hair and twined about her dress and was carelessly holding some in her hand. She came forward and demanded the lump of clay that should make her little tin- ger. And as she held up her hand, the children saw that the little linger was missing, and quickly gave her part of the clay, which she shaped and put in its place. She then sat down and told them a story, not unlike Spring's, and when she was leaving she said, "Do not forget, children, I bring you rich verdure, fiowery beauty and shady nooks." Time fled and it was the last night of August. The children were seated in the same place, only to-night they were watching the moon rise, when a dark object which they knew to be Autumn, stepped out of the wood and came quickly toward them. She also was beautiful, and as she came nearer to them they saw that her dress was brown, trimmed with yel- low, red and green. "I would like, if you please, the piece of clay that should have made my ear," she said. And as she spoke, she lifted a lock of her hair, and the children saw that one ear was gone, and they gave her piece of clay to her. "Remember, I bring you bright, beautiful days, rosy apples, luscious grapes, heaps of grain and stores for winter," she said, as she vanished from sight, and at the same time a shower of leaves, red, yel- low, green and brown came rustling down to the childrens' feet.. The children were seated near the fire on the last night of November, looking ruefully at the last little piece of clay that lay between them on the floor, when suddenly the door opened and in came the jolliest little old man the children had ever seen. His hat was set jauntily on the top of his head, and his eyes twinkled merrily as he said,"Well, children, I think :.!, ,. , I I8 SCNIDR SICKLE i , I f H1 ' 1 ' 'E' ' 'l l . lilii n i ll E i mul , it 's zilmout time you are giving me that piece of elny that belongs to me."

The parliamentary drills, debates and the different parts each one has taken, have served to give poise and self-confidence to many who have so badly needed it. The close association with one another, the social side of the Club, has proved very benelicial.

The next year found the Club with the largest membership of any of the school societies. Through the efforts of the presidents, Raymond Lewis and Richard Larwill, over sixty dollars were secured toward the pur- chases of a curtain for the stage of the auditorium. The curtain was pur- chased in the fall of 1914. Raymond Lewis, as Chairman of the Commit- tee, made the presentation. Mildred Hart and Henry George Hoch were both efficient presidents and their active interests were 'largely responsible for the progress made by the Club during the year 1914-15. . The prospects for the Club could not have been better than this year. The Club had a good foundation, a good reputation and was the most pop- ular organization in the school. Gerald Cutler, the last president, was energetic in his efforts for the success of the Club. Miss Cora Palmer, of the English Department, has been ever helpful, and too much praise can not be given to Miss Ward for her untiring efforts. The Dramatic Club has been the means of trying out students for the Senior Play. lt enables a large number to display their talents, which otherwise might not have been known. The Club disbanded in 1915. It is hoped that in the future, a Dramatic Club may be again organized and prove itself to be a valuable asset to our high school. ,--w---..-- 1 ' A I as semen SICIQL I Q' " ll uma mE't"I1'Tf?H':s1'iTzTEmz 1 'II HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA X A I ' THE ORCHESTRA E are justly proud of our Orchestra this year, and to this branch of education we Owe many thanks.

CHARLES ASHLEY Treasurer DONALD FRAZIER N the fall, several of the more prominent fellows of the Adrian High School were asked to meet and have supper together at the "Y," ' After supper Mr. Rau introduced Mr. j. A. Van Dis, who was the state organizer of boys' clubs in the Y. M. C. A. At this time, it was decided to organize a club composed of High School fellows and to meet every week at the Y. M. C. A. for Bible study and discussion. After two or three meetings it was decided to adopt the national constitution of the Hi-Y Clubs. The club this year was composed of twenty-five real workers. The programs were helpful, educational and interesting. Several of the business and professional men of the city have appeared on the programs. Mr. Hypes, of the High School faculty, has had charge of the Bible study and to him must go a great deal of credit for the interesting way in which he conducted his part of the programs. The Bible study this year was taught in such a way that every member was interested every minute. The Hi-Y club has been a success this year and it is to be hoped that it will be more of a success next year. The club offers social opportunities to the fellows that no other High School club can offer. It is certainly to be hoped that more fellows will take advantage of the Hi-Y Club next year.

I il il lizintiaii' Q ORATORY AND DECLAMATION HE annual oratorical and declamation contest was held in the High School auditorium on the evening of March 9. The alifair was one K ts of unusual merit. The speakers in both contests were fitted in every way to compete for the oratorical and declamation cups, which were offered as usual. The High School orchestra offered its services for the evening and after a selection, the declamation contest was held. "The Philippine Question" . . RAYMOND KOEHN "The Independence of Cuba" . . SETH HOISINGTON "The Dawn of the Political Tomorrow" EULALIE GOURLEY "Jeanne D'Arc" .... FLORENCE EARLY "The Union Soldier" . . . GERALDINE JOHNSON First place in this contest was won by Eulalie Gourley, who did re- markably well in delivering "The Dawn of a Political Tomorrow." Florence Early was a close second. ' The speakers in the oratorical contest numbered but three and all were prepared on subjects of national interest. - "The Hidden Foe" . . CHARLES SCHULTZ ASHLEY "The True Germany" CLIFFORD ERVIN JACKSON "The Paramount Issue" . . HARRY BEE PATREY Harry Patrey, with an oration full of deep thought and with an excel- lent delivery, easily won first place. Charles Ashley picked out the delicate subject of the cigarette question and boldly delivered a vociferous condemnation of the evil. "The True Germany," a philippic against the German government, was given for the purpose of "making the Kaiser feel bad," to use Mr. jackson's own words. If the Kaiser had been in the audience to hear this terrific arraignment, he surely would have sneaked out the back door. The declamation cup, which was won by Miss Gourley, and the orator- ical cup, which was won by Mr. Patrey, were presented by Mr Reed. At the sub-district contest which was held at Hillsdale, both Miss Gourley and Mr. Patrey won close seconds. Adrian High School is proud to be represented by these people and our only regret is that Mr. Patrey will leave Adrian High School this year. - 22' ' umm' I I 1 as sermon sucnuz u HI E.

"The Melting Pot" is a 2 drama in four acts, by Israel Zangwill, a play dealing with the great immigration problem. A small sensation was created when the choice of the play was announced in view of the facts that it was a drama, a modern play, and called for a much smaller cast than usual. The experiment prov- ed successful, however, and we, the class of 1916, are proud to be the first to give a modern play. A large audience viewed the presentation and ex- pressed only surprise and congratulation. The story deals with a young jewish violinist, who found happiness when America "stretched out its great motherhand" to him. Nearly every nationality is represented in the characters who meet in America, God's great Melting Pot. Gerald Cutler and Geraldine Greenwald were in the leading parts, thoughrevery character was an important one. Several ex- ceptionally good humorous characters relieved the tension of a serious play. The scenes were all laid in New York. The fourth act was especially pretty, a New York roof garden scene painted by Mr. Eldredge. We wish to thank him for his splendid work. As in other years, we give the credit of our success entirely to Miss Ward. It would never have been attempted or continued if her enthusiasm had not been reassuring when things began to "drag." We feel that we have received some of her best work in that it is her last. With her de- parture this year, she leaves a place that can never be filled. john Fint was an able business manager and gave unsparingly of his time. Much help was also given by Walter Roesch, the stage manager, and the property men, Charles Ashley and Lawrence Bevins. The cast and friends were the guests of Mr. Reed and Mr. Griffey at Nachtrieb's following the performance.

After the sudden dis- banding of the club, a considerable sum was left in the treasury with which it was decided to banquet the former organization. A fine dinner was served by the ladies at tables cleverly carrying out St. Patrick ideas in their decoration. The dinner was followed by a splendid program of toasts from former members, officers and the Alumni. Different views of the situation werenshown, in some terming it a funeral, others an "Irish Wake." Sincere wishes were expressed for the organization of a new club in the future, and in every way the members showed that they were "good sports." At the completion of the program, Miss Ward was presented with a gold wrist watch, as a small symbol of the appreciation of the members for her help. Too much could not be said for her influence and assistance in forming and carrying on the work of the club. Without her, the success would have been an impossibility. The following toasts formed an interesting program, their subjects be- ing chosen from former plays presented by the club: Toastmaster Gerald Cutler "King Lear" .... Raymond Lewis "First Thanksgiving Dinner" . Seth Hoisington "As You Like It" . . Frances Cutter "The Garrotersu . Clifford jackson "The Tempest" . Henry George Hoch "Kathleen N'Hoolihan" .

At the open- ing of the school year. the opinion seemed to be that the Lyceum society was to sink into oblivion, owing to the call to meet after school. But Miss Ward has shown her splendid ability and the Lyceum appeared a very live factor at its annual banquet. Their colors, blue and yellow, combined with the use of pennants, formed effective decorations.

After the fine dinner and novel program of toasts, dancing was enjoyed in the gymnasium. Here green and white, the junior colors, were used effectively. Large white pillars and profuse decoration served to disguise the "Gym" into a scene of beauty. Music was furnished by the High School orchestra during the banquet, and also for the splendid dance program. Several new features were introduced during the dance.

Here the class of 1916 was received by the Seniors and Faculty of Adrian College. Green- ery was used in abundance about the rooms, forming effective decorations. Willett's orchestra entertained with a fine musical program throughout the evening. Light refreshments were served and a pleasant evening was en- joyed by all. BACCALAUREATE On the evening of june 4th, Dr. Frederick Perry delivered the Bacca- laureate sermon in the Methodist Protestant church. Mr. Perry always has something good for us and we were especially glad to secure him for this occasion. A large audience listened to a splendid, inspiring sermon. We wish to extend our heartiest thanks and appreciation to Dr. Perry. CLASS DAY The annual Class Day program was given on the evening of June 7th, at Croswell Opera House. The usual entertaining program was given by the class, several new features being added. Following this was the pass- ing of the Gavel to the Juniors. The class of 1917 should be congratulated upon the artistic use of the Purple and White in decorating the Opera House. COMIVIENCEIVIENT The Commencement exercises of the Class of 1916 took placejune 9th, at the Croswell Opera House. The speaker of the day was Mr. Fred L. Keeler, State Superintendent of Public Instruction. An interesting address was given before a large audience. Superintendent Griffey presented the graduates with diplomas. Several fine musical numbers were furnished by the High School Orchestra. 13 . I ' as semen sucm.E I5 fl, .

The only game in which K its the team came out victorious was the one with Dundee. In all the other games, Adrian fought and played their best until the final whistle, but lost. However, we can not call the season a total failure. There were about thirty men out to practice every afternoon and out of this number all but three or four will be back next year. Of the fifteen fellows to re- ceive "A's", eleven, or one whole team, will be in high school next year. This looks good for old Adrian High, and this team of veterans should win every game next year. There were no bright and shining "stars" on the team this year. No one seemed to be far superior to any other man. Captain Ed. Isley played hard every minute and in spite of his injuries was in the game most of the time. Patterson, next year's captain, is one of the best and brainiest quarter-backs that has been in the high school for several years. We are confident that "Pat" will lead next year's team to many a victory. Every one of the graduate men will be greatly missed by the coach. Fint, who played left guard, had more fight and weight than any other man on the line. Roesch, at tackle, could be found in every play that went his way. Ashley was one of the best "smashing ends" that has ever been seen in high school. The class of 1916 is proud to claim these three players, but we are glad that we leave so many good men behind us. We wish you the best of luck-and may you beat Monroe. THE "A" MEN ARE R. E. Ashley, Page R. T. Roesch R. G. Westfield C. Snedeker L. G. Fint L. T. Youngs L. E. Kerr Q. B. Pattersonl R. H.

Basket Ball Team has a better record than any team for the past three years, havingwon six games and lost live. We should and do feel proud of our team and the Coach. And, as every man of this year's team will be back next year, we expect to see them come through with a clean slate. All our victories this year were de- cisive, however some of ourdefeats were hard to take. We were beaten by two points at Coldwater in Coldwater but the western lads could is claiming the State Championship. basket. At the end of the playing time, score was a tie, and during the next five minutes, Ann Arbor had won game by two points. It is not necessary to tell of the other games, whole story may be read in the summary. boys wanted another crack at see it that way. Ann Arbor missed that claim by just one one of the roughest games ever seen. The not We the the the When Coach Jones called for basket ball practice, two of the last year's team reported and about fifteen others that looked about as good. The first team candidates finally sifted down to ten, any five of whom could have represented the high school. To make matters a little easier for the coach, Kerr had scholastic difficulties and Robertson, the captain, wrenched his knee. It is hard to pick a "star" this year. The boys all played for the team and not for themselves. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the season was Darling. Halland is a brother of "Ed," the 1914 Captain, and, though the youngster does not have the weight of the former captain, he "sure can hit that basket," as jones would say. Youngs, the Captain elect, was another find. Too much cannot be said of "Kid" Isley, who acted as Captain after Robinson left. He is a fighter and a basket ball player from stem to stern. Wade, Davis and Funk, all new men in school, proved valuable players: Davis leading in the number of points scored. The Coach and players all agree that a large amount of credit goes to the strong second team. After all, that is what makes a team. A school must be proud of its team and willing to support it both by attending the games and giving it practice. The whole high school is looking forward to next year. Every mem- ber of the first and second teams will be back except one second team man, and there are others in school who will give the first team men a run for their places-if they do not Hunk. This year's team also boasts of city championship which they won with- out a defeat. ll jan. 14 " 20 " 25 Feb. 2 H 4 " 11 " 18 " 28 Mar. 3 " 10 ll 'Forfeit ,i as semen sucnts I6 .., SCHEDULE At A.

Most of the team are experienced, having played last year. The boys are not very heavy hitters, but are clever fielders and base runners. When the SICKLE goes to press, we stand first in the county league. We lost our first game to Hudson, because our bunch failed to support Harrison after Dunn had put the game on ice. Since this defeat we have won five straight games. Captain Roesch is aball player with plenty of experience. He is a good hitter, fielder and a whirlwind at stealing bases. Funk, a new man, has played center field, short stop and is now play- ing first. He seems to be right at home any place. john Dunn and Hartley Harrison are a good pair of twirlers. In one game Dunn struck out fifteen. Patterson and Lutz at third and short are a good pair and cover that section of the field in great shape. The outfield is well guarded by Bond, Harris and Hamilton. George is doing very well for a freshman, and will make a valuable catcher in a year or so. The men who will probably receive "A's" are: George, C Lutz, SS Dunn, P Patterson, 3rd B Harrison, P Harris, L F Funk, 1 B Hamilton, R F Roc-sch, 2nd B, Capt. Bond, C F Treat April 24 .... .....

All events but two in the class meet were faster than last year. The meet was won by the Sophomores with Raymond Koehn as the biggest point getter. Another star of the meet was Carmen Smith, a freshman. Paul Annis won the mile and half mile in splendid time. Skinner seems to be the best weight man.

None more deserving of praise can be found. The school is justly proud of those who now are scattered over the world, running their various courses in life's race. These men and women are a credit to Adrian High School, from the doors of which they have graduated. From year to year this long list of men and women is made greater by the Outgoing classes. Each class that goes from our High School has a place to fill in this Alumni Organization. Next year, we, as a class and as individuals, will have the honor of having our names placed on the roll call of the Alumni of Adrian High School. We are unable to print, in this Annual, all the graduates that have gone from Adrian High School. As much as we would like to, we know that the space in this Annual will not permit. A complete list of these may be found in the "Manual" published by the Adrian Public Schools. We have completed a list of the last three classes that have graduated, with whom we have become acquainted during our high school course. Ofcers of Alumni Association President . .

This interview cou- cerns nothing more or less than the meteoric rise of Leonard Morse and Carl Dean. the two young entertainers who have been making such a decided hit at the Sleeping Cat Delicatessen Cabaret during the past two weeks. When asked to tell of the experiences which led to the high positions now held, Leonard Morse, speaking also for his part- ner, told the SOB reporter the following: -'For some time before we came under the public eye, Mr. Dean and I were almost daily taken to the Cabaret q'l'he Sleeping Cat Delicatessenj by groups of High School girls - this being leap year. Finally, one day one of the girls Leither Marian Gus- senbauer or Catherine Hoody sug- gested that we do a table dance. After a considerable amount of persuasion we decided to adopt the suggestion and right there we did the first of our famous "Table Dances." The applause of the girls was so long and hearty that the attention ofthe manager was drawn and although we were very dizzy on account of the altitude, fCoN'r1Nur:n ON PAGE 2j YOUNG MAN RUN OVER STANDING IN THE STREET Lucius Judson Being Held by the Police for Criminal Negligence Heinrich Otto Schlegelmeler. a strange young man about twenty years of age. was knocked down and instantly killed yesterday af- ternoon as he was standing in the middle of West Maumee street by Lucius Judson. who was hilar- iously joy-riding through the down town business district with a crowd of giggling High School girls. Judson is now held by the police and is waiting trial on the charge of criminal negligence. It later developed that at the time he was killed. Schlegelmeler was engagedin an argument with Clifford Jackson about the Kaiser. Jackson says they left the side- walk for the street where there was more room so they could ex- press their points more forcibly. They had argued a long time but nothing had been settled at the time of the accident. Jackson says lt serves Schlegelmeier rlght because he lJackson3 absolutely could not persuade Schlegelmeier that the Kaiser is the biggest crook on earth.

And right here the SOB wants to show the way it stands on the question. First, we will look over some animals .that believed in the so- called "preparedness," the tiger, the lion, the leopard and some other such aggressive beasts. Not one of us ever saw one free-they are all in captivlty. On the other hand. look at the calm, docile animals that are not the least bit aggressive, the cow. the pig and the horse. All day long the cow lightly trips over the meadows, the pig gently sleeps in his nice. soft. warm bed and we see the horse rollicking gally over his pasture lot-not in captivity but enjoying their three unallen- able rights-life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Could anything be more lucid? OUR PERSONAL QUERY COLLYUM Edited by MISS MYRTLE MUSH fAll questions pertaining to dress. politics, weather, etiquette, religion. family or love affairs will be cheerfully answered in this collyum.j Dear Miss Mush: 1 am in a great dilemma. I recently became engaged to one of the truest and purest men ln the country. We expect to be married either on Labor Day or Washington's Birthday. But the thing that worries me most ls a very singular peculiarity of my bethrothed. Oh! dear, it brings me to tears to mention lt. But I must be brave and tell because lt is to the Interest of the dear boy that I take steps now to insure ourselves against any possible in- terference in our connublal fe- llclty. This singular eccentrlcity is-Oh. heavens!-but I must be brave-a desire on his part to kiss me on the neck. Always at the end of the evenings he calls on me, he insists on this little famil- iarity. On account of the way the poor boy strives and contends against the greatest odds that our marriage may take place, I hate to refuse this prlvllege which is so dear to hlm and which I lay asleep nights worrying about. I Story At Last Obtained fCONTINUED FROM PAGE lj we went through the affair again. We were immediately booked by the management and have been with it ever since." This true report of the interview is expected to do away with the base calumnles which have been recently nolsed around the city about these two spotless young men. Mr. Morse also told the SOB re- porter that he and Mr. Dean have been engaged by the manage- ment for ONE NIGHT ONLY at the opening of the branch cab- aret on Drexel Park Blvd. on the evening of Tuesday. .luly 4. write to you to ask your help in this awful situation.

The very idea of your fiance attempting to klss you on the neck! It ls brutlsh! Mere- ly for his own good he should re. member the oft quoted lines from Chaucer, "A kiss on the lips ls worth two on the neck!" But I will not elaborate longer. Simply tell hlm he ls the lowest, meanest shrimp on earth and then work up. Dear Sobg I intend to entertain my sister at a lawn fete on the evening of Friday, June 23. who will be visit- ing from Ohlo. How about a shower at that time Reginald Algernon. Dear 'AReg." I would suggest that lt would be very necessary just beforehand. because the date is ln a hot sum- mer month when one perspires to agreat extent and one would wish one's personal appearance to be at its best ln the presence of one's sister. The High School will be closed at that time but the SOB recommends that you try the Y. M. C. A.. as its showers are ln commission the year around. Dear Mush: Will you please tell me a good way to transfer the seeds of an orange from the mouth in a way that will not annoy polite society? Your Grace. Sure, Grace, glad to do lt. This is one of the problems I have studied on a long time and now l think I have a satisfactory an- swer. Gently place any nearby pea shooter to your lips. Then blow the seeds through any con- venient wlndow or at any person at the table whom you don't like or who has been making himself particularly disagreeable during the dinner. By doing this you will demonstrate to the host and other guests your good breeding and your keen sense of humor, and they will also remark about your wonderfully accurate gun- nery.

Minn W QOHEMMJJI Our Appreciation K, HE time draws near when the Class of 1916 must T Q leave Adrian High and at this time we wish to thank the advertisers who have so liberally contrib- i Wi uted to make this SICKLE possible. We fully realize l 4 ili 'A W that the SICKLE, as an advertising medium. does not EH" of out-rank all others. The business menare almost daily asked to contribute something to this cause or to that. However, they have received us cordially, as they have those who came before us and, as we hope, those who will come after us. We hope that in the future when the business men are asked to patronize the SICKLE they will remember that it stands for THEIR High School, which we try to make a credit to THEIR city. Above all other things we ask that if you End something that is not to your liking, to pass it over and remember we have put out only one SICKLE. To the associate editors a great deal of credit is due for the writings that appear herein. For the fine drawings that appear, our art editor must be thanked. To Mr. Finch we owe the masterly way in which this book is arranged, printed and bound. To Miss Fox and Miss Rhodes we are indebted for their help in typing. We hope that those who have helped make this SICKLE what it is, will accept this as our thanks to them. HARRY B. PATREY, DONALD F RAZIER, Business Managers.

Because Chiropractic never tails in dis- covering the exact nature of your disease and its location. 2. Because Chiropractic will remove the cause of your disease and thereby give per- manent relief. 3. Because it accomplishes more than all other methods and leaves no ill after effect. 4. Because Chiropractic is the greatest fac- tor in the scientific prevention of disease. 5. Because the foremost physicians are rec ognizing the value of Chiropractic. 6. Because the Chiropractor is successful at the bedside in acute and chronic diseases. 7. Because Adjustments remove all obstruc- tions in the nervous system and thereby restore perfect function and normal strength to the diseased organs S. Because the Adjustments as we give them are not painful and are followed by prompt relief in acute cases. 9. Because Chiropractic has restored to nor- mal health many cases pronounced incurable by the best physicians. IO. Because what Chiropractic has done and is doing for others it will do for you. O. A.
