Finally we decided that we, too, wanted a memory book of our last year in high school so we held a meeting and elected the above group for staff officers. W ith the continual use of our motto. “United We Conquer,” the volunteering of the different students, the work of the staff members and the contributions of the advertisers, we have succeeded in publishing this annual. We hope that in years to come our friends who take out this l ook to look through its pages shall not 1� .‘ . sorry that we have published it. We. ourselves, are very glad that we did not drop the publishing of our “Maroon and White” because now we are proud that we, too, can say, “This is the lxx)k our class published when we were Seniors.

For the tasks are hard and many, And not easy as they seem. School is real; and teachers earnest When they tell us we must strive To present them better lessons And to act as if alive— When they ask us trying questions And we look as if surprised. We. the class of happy Seniors Have l een trying many years To fulfill those fondest wishes Of the friends we love so dear. As we struggle onward ever Though the path be not so bright We aim to make a record For ourselves in black and white. We have learned to meet the hardships And to face them every one, We shall work and fight together 'Till our work on earth is done. —Berneice Mitchell I Page EiKhll Superintendent’s Address To undertake such a task as the publication of this hook is in itself an achieve- ment worthy of credit. When a group of lroys and girls have had outlined to them the trials and laliors that lie ahead of them if they decide to take upon themselves the responsibilities which come from the publication of an annual and then they deliberately determine that they will go ahead, I say that in such a case the bare decision alone is an achievement. How much easier it would he to go through the school year just going to classes and doing the regular school work. But to know- ingly take upon themselves the struggles and responsibilities of a school annual is to set a goal, the attaining of which means the accomplishing of a difficult task. The financing of an annual is no mean task, for the cost is nearly seven hundred dollars and the amount received from the sale of the 'nnuals is but a little over two hundred dollars. The remainder of the cost must be obtained from the sale of advertising space, receipts from class pictures, and the various money making enterprises that the ingenuity of the members of the class may suggest. The support received by the present senior class from merchants in Eau Claire, and the surrounding towns of Dowagiac, Niles. Berrien Springs, Sodus, St. Joseph, and Benton Harbor has been beyond expectations and I am sure that every mem- ber of the class is grateful. Each year the amount of advertising space sold has increased until now its receipts with those from the sale of the annual are nearly enough to pay for the expense of publication. The work of planning, securing, and organizing the material for the annual is so important that unless it is carefully and thoroughly done, the annual itself is, of course, a miserable failure and brings discredit to the class and to the school. The members of the present class have worked long and faithfully to perform the tasks assigned and I believe that the book will bear witness to the quality of the work they performed. As Superintendent of the School and sponsor of the Senior class, having had charge of the publication of the annual, it is a source of pride to me to have had a part in its preparation and to l e able to join with the class in presenting this ! ook to the public.

At the final warning twenty-two members hastily hid farewell to their pleas- ures and vacation for another year and clinilied alxiard 11ft- beautiful white ship, which was decorated with red roses and gay ribbons. Thus they were initiated into their sea life in a royal manner. At last with the aid of Mrs. Lybrook, their faithful captain, and her three trustworthy mates; Matilda Faher. Margaret Buckley, and Jav Staley, they were off for the strange land to seek their fortune. What lav in store for them only time would tell. The waters which seemed rough and troublesome at first soon appeared more peaceful. They were able to sail along smoothly. After they had ! een on this ship for about a year they learned that they were soon to lie transferred to a larger ship, of which Mrs. Fetzer was captain, and Harriet Hogue, Wesley Grant, Mar- garet Schram, and Gertrude Pokomy were helpers. What a beauty the ship was and how proud they all were as they entered the new ship, “The Sophomore.” Only eighteen of their members remained with them that year. They ventured farther out at sea with the ship but found that they did not progress as they had the first year. Xew obstacles which were hidden during the first year now made their apjiearance and sent the Ixiat rocking on the waves; but with the guidance of their ever watchful captain they were able to steer clear of these trying dangers. At last they were half way through their journey. After replacing their cap- tain bv Mr. Jerome and the mates—Dorothy Bartels, Wesley Grant, Harriett Hogue, and Geneva Bowers, they once more started on toward their destination. 1 hat year they gave a play to earn money for a banquet which was held at the close of the year. What a grand occasion that was! During the last year of their sea adventures they had many happy times. They put on another very successful play that year. Towards the middle of the year they earned forty dollars from a very familiar and interesting moving picture show, “The Covered Wagon.” One morning when they were all seated on the deck they were informed by the captain that they were soon to reach their journey's end. Some of them were happy to think of their trip being so near over but others were not so happy. They were thinking of the good times they had spent together during these last four years. Never in their lives would they all l e together again. A log was published which described their journey and the activities of the year. This was to serve as a happy reminder of their good times together. Before the crew |«irted they all assembled with their sjxmsor, Mr. Taft, at a little town called Eau Claire, Michigan, and there they were all presented with a diploma for their work and success in their adventure. By their united efforts they had conquered together the sea of “High School Life” and earned their reward.

Our future stands out l efore us as a vast area of darkness; and although we have not the genius to foresee what it will be, we do know that a large measure of it dej lends on the foundation we have built for ourselves in our High School years. This thought is true not only for one hut true for all. We have all finished the course that has been given us, and are ready to start together for a step forward along the pathway of life. So far we have come together, hand in hand, and we have l)een looking for- ward to this time of graduating as a glad one, forgetting that it was going to mean I a time of parting. Now we are suddenly forced to remember this feature, and in spite of our triumph we are sad. One thought we have for consolation is that we have reached the successful end of our four years by living up to our class motto, “United We Conquer.” In these days of struggle and toil, of success and failure, of competition and strife, it is well for young people to have good companions they can work with on a task and come out conquerors in the end. So it has been with our class. Working and striving along together, we have at last reached our goal. But now that we have gained some of the good things of life, should we appropriate them all to our- selves or should we generously and wisely help those who are less fortunate? Should not our lives lie centered now in a greater and a more far reaching end than self elevation? This is a question that rests with us all tonight as we are aliout to step forth into the arena of the world’s progress to make a place for our- selves among our fellow-men. Dear friends, we who are passing out of High School life into more active citizenship, feel that we have a place in national life. We feel that each one of us has a work to do in helping our country become 1 letter and nobler. We know that we alone cannot make the world go right, but each one of us shall endeavor to “do iwith cheerful heart the work that God appoints.” We expect great things of our- selves and hope that you too feel our possibilities—and will not lie disappointed. To our parents, friends, and the Board of Education, we. the class of '30. extend our thanks for the privileges and possibilities that have lieen afforded to give us our training and education. We sincerely hope that in the years to come we may prove to you that your ambition to turn us out to the world as real men and women has not been in vain. We also wish to show our gratitude to our teachers who have untiringly led us through our past four years of training. We realize that they have put forth every effort within their power to fit us for our future lives. 1C lassmates, let us resolve that we shall make of ourselves such men and wo- men in the world that our high school shall lie glad to claim us as its own. Let us, as we separate, go forth with the determination that we will succeed. Let us show the world, as we step out into its field of endeavor, that we are students worthy to lie called Americans. As we bid each other farewell, let us remember the words of Emerson: Keep your eyes on the goal, lad. Never despair or drop; Be sure that your path leads upward; There is always room at the top.

Our first thoughts are of gratitude to you who have made possible our days here together and helped us to overcome har- riers which seemed to bar our way. We can liest express our gratitude with the one word. “Welcome, which, no matter how interpreted, means we are glad that you are here. Tonight as we look ahead, we are overcome with a sense of dread, a dread of the future. ( ur days si ent here together have lieen filled with happy moments, and we have formed friendships, many of which we shall continue through life. But what does the future hold for us? We all of us have plans which we hope to carry out. but each is like a traveller who has crossed the foothills and reached the foot of a mountain with roads leading in all directions. His journey has l een smooth with very few bogs, from which he was quickly and readily assisted, along the way. Xow he has reached a cross-road and the road he chooses to continue his journey shall determine his destination. So with us. we have reached a crossroad at the foot of a mountain and the road we take will determine whether our plans are to lie fulfilled or not. There are roads leading up which are rough and filled with obstacles to hinder our progress. Other roads are much smoother and have very few obstacles to hinder us. Few of us will take the rough, inaccessible roads. Many would rather take a road leading off to one side, which is much smoother, and hope that it will lead upward farther on the way. These crossroads with many roads leading away are deceiving. They show the roads for short distances; after these distances are travelled, the hard and rough road becomes barely passable. The education we received at Eau Claire High School will greatly aid us in choosing the right road, and with your assistance we hope to become worthy of the care ar.d efforts you bestowed upon us during our school career. We have al- ways looked toward this event as a destination, but we find it to be but a journey. We hope that you welcome us among you on this journey, our entrance into the world of usefulness. Again, let me welcome you to this, our graduation from Eau Claire High School. Alfons Wierzbolowicz Jav: Has anyone commented on the way you drive?

The first words to greet my ears were “Friends, we have a delightful surprise for you. Many of you probably remember the class of 1930 of the Eau Claire High School and the struggle of their high school life. Well, tonight I have the pleasure of introducing to you a picture, the first of a series of famous people of the world, showing you the ] eople of the 1930 class and what they have accom- plished. The first thing of great importance is that this music which you now hear is played by Miss Berneice Mitchell who has world wide fame as a great organist. As 1 gasped in surprise the first picture to be shown was that of a basket ball game Itetween Benton llarlior and Muskegon. Michigan. At the end of a quarter the coach’s pictures were shown and imagine my astonishment on finding the Muskegon coach to be Jay Staley, one of the greatest stars of our basket ball team in high school. I thought to myself “Well, no one can say that Jay disappointed them, for we all thought Jay would make a wonderful coach. Eagerly. I turned to the screen again just in time to see a picture of a girl entering the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. The next picture showed this same young lady walking quietly among a group of art students and now and then giving them instructions. 1 recognized Harriett Hogue and like a flash it came to me that she had been Art Editor of our Maroon and White, thus showing her great ability. The screen also showed some ! eautiful drawings which Miss Hogue had drawn. The introduction of the next picture came with the roar of an aeroplane There soon flashed into sight, a picture of a plane and its pilot, which was one of horror as the stunts the pilot went through were terrifying. I felt sure the plane would crash but to my relief it came down safely and the pilot. Wesley Grant, smiled and said a few words to the audience. Without seeing his face one would know it was Wesley as he was always thinking up jokes with which to frighten one. On the screen flashed a picture of a large gym where many girls were taking gymnastic exercises and at the head was the leader. She seemed very familiar but not until she came close to the screen did I recognize Margaret Schram, one of our lx-st girl athletes in 19.10. It certainly seemed wonderful to me that these people all should have attained that which suited them so splendidly. iTir------------------- aofrofrl---------------- jei- =)GS ==)g [PaRf Twenty-five] The next scene showed the interior of a hospital and down the corridor came a nurse rolling a stretcher into the operating room. 1 craned my neck to see who the nurse was and to my delight it was Ruth Taylor. Well 1 was in for a greater surprise for as the operating room was filmed I saw Gertrude Pokorny as the head surgeon. This was to he a very critical operation and the good work of the head nurse. Miss Taylor, and the doctor made the operation successful. The picture following was a large history class room where hundreds of stu- dents were listening to a lecture given by Professor Hemingway. It brought back memories of Harold’s great success in the history class of 1930. The scene now changed to the interior of the South Bend Business College where many pupils were studying to I ten me business men and women and to my surprise I saw Geneva Bowers instructing the different pupils in their work. As this scene faded a scene of a very pretty Spanish garage was shown. It was surrounded by many beautiful flowers. From the interior came the owner. He stepped into a high powered roadster that was standing liefore the garage and as he drove away I was glad to see that Vere Smallidge, too. had attained his great ambition, that of being a garage owner. After this scene faded away there came a picture of a beautiful home in the suburbs of Chicago. There in the study of this home a man was sitting at a table, writing industriously. He had his head bent low so 1 could not see his face. But a ; he raised his head to concentrate, I could easily make out Alfons YVierzbolowicz, an industrious classmate of my high school days. After this I saw the large mathematics room in the University of Michigan. Here the students were all writing their semester tests. The professor's features seemed familiar to me but I could not place him. As the next picture was approach- ing it came to me that the professor was none other than Kenneth Briney, our math, shark in high school. Oh! the next picture was so exciting!—it was a football game between North- western and Notre Dame. There was only 60 seconds left, the ball was in the hands of Northwestern and the score was tied. When no one expected it No. 18 came running to the goal for a touchdown. I he Northwestern crowd was going wild for Donald Trowbridge. No. 18, had saved the day for Northwestern by run- ning 97 yards for a touchdown. After this thrilling picture came the calm picture of a neatly arranged beauty parlor. Here many girls were busy waving and cutting hair, manicuring, and so on. As I looked at the different faces of these working girls my eyes were caught as 1 saw one of my high school classmates. Jane Mosher. I knew that she owned this shop for she was teaching the girl the principles of hair dressing. Next a lieautifill theatre was shewn on the screen. I had never seen a theatre so beautiful. hat made it seem more beautiful to me was the billing of the picture out in front—Louis Rogers in “Half Way to Heaven. His being an actor was not unthinkable in his high school flays as he showed great talent in lxith our Junior and Senior plays. 3l===J3i===jBE =rJai S3 sft afr 1 QTO fr� feE[ =]E[ =lE 1= =1 irf==iF l� aRe Twenty-six] The next scene took us to the Niles High School. It showed the domestic science room which is of interest to all. In the middle of the room a large banquet table was set and many teachers and pupils were seated around it. After the speeches were given I realized that this banquet had been given in honor of the domestic science teacher. Miss Elizabeth Hurton. She got up and gave a nice talk saying how glad she was to Ik- of service to the class and how greatly she appreci- ated this banquet. This scene was very different from other scenes as it showed a picture of a marvelous bridge. It was built across a river in Europe and bv an American en- gineer. His picture was shown and I was glad to see Robert Rose, one of our late arrivals, but by no means left out. I waited anxiously for the next scene for I felt as though the end would soon be here. This scene was the interior of a large colonial home and sitting before a fireplace deeply interested in a book, was some one I recognized immediately as Mr. Taft, our chaperon and friend. It was he who helped us through our many trials and troubles and now he was living in California many miles away from Eau Claire. The producer came out and told us that this was the first of a series of world famous people and he hoped we had enjoyed it enough to come again. 1 certainly was glad 1 had been lucky enough fo come this time for the class of 1930 was the class 1 was the most interested in. It was nice to return to my home and spend the rest of the evening thinking of the wonderful success of my friends and classmates of my high school days.

Junior Class History A downy white haired lady, sitting among a mass of softest cushions, was busily reading a pile of rather old maroon and white lmoks in her lap. She did not notice the golden curly head, of about seven summers, peeping over her shoulder, so occupied were her thoughts. “Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! It seems but only yesterday,” she laughed. “What. Granny? Tell me the joke so that I may laugh, too,” begged the inqui- sitive little granddaughter. “It’s no joke; see this picture, (pointing to a class of green looking children). That was when I entered my first year of high school. Of course we had the largest class—31. My. how frightened we were as we moved from room to room, blushing and uncertain what to do. fearing it would l e the wrong step. Yes. and the others seemed to think it their duty to inform us to have a class meeting and elect officers. We didn’t prove to he so dumb for we chose an able IkkIv of officers. A1 foils, a bright chap with a wide knowledge of every subject, we chose as presi- dent and Lois Puterbaugh was Al's substitute; Mary Clark, the best writer, took down the notes, such as we had. and Johnny Brookins handled the dough. Tulips were our favorite flower, while blue and white we hailed as our colors. A good motto started us on our difficult journey. Now we had barely gotten over our difficulties, when the “Sophs invited us to a party for no other reason than to punish and molest us—they called it an initiation 1 guess. “Now, let's see this book, taking a 1929 annual from the pile. “This is a bright- er looking group. Oh. yes. we were much smarter—no. 1 mean more experienced. One. two, three—yes all thirty-one hack again. This time we chose our former in- dustrious vice-president. Lois Puterbaugh, for president, Tom Ferry, her helper; George Sharpe, a small lad. hut a wonderful writer, got the position as secretary; and Leo Tidey. treasurer. We had our revenge this time, only on the wrong group, but that made no difference to us. We thoroughly enjoyed initiating the unlucky “greenhorns. Mrs. Fetzer helped us through our ups and downs that year. “Juniors! yes. Juniors! One more tear and then Seniors—but that’s ahead of my story. Our bright group soon had a class meeting. Mary Clark was chosen as president, Margaret Puterbaugh. vice-president, Keith Kerstetter. secretary, and Mitchell Booth, treasurer. We mourned our loss as only twenty-five of our large group returned to complete the term. Oh yes, and that reminds me. Evelyn Mc- Omh.-r was elected secretary, but she didn't return, so her place was filled by Keith. We put over an all high school party and took charge of the great annual event, the Junior-Senior lianquet. The time passed so quickly that the remaining year was left untold, but she promised to tell her impatient granddaughter alxmt the last year later.

For class motto we chose “A game fish swims up stream.” Mr. Jerome consented to he our sponsor throughout our freshman year. On October 3, the Sophomores did their worst.

Do.” Ambition was stirred within us and under the fine leadership of Mrs. La- Crone, we have sold Ready-Jell with which we bought a clock, world globe, and other useful things. But we have had some wonderful times, too. We had a very joyful and suc- cessful Hallowe’en party at the school house.

Girls’ Glee Club This year tin- Girls' Glee Clul was not organized until the beginning of the second semester on account of the absence of our leader. When Mrs. I-aCrone returned from her work at Kalamazoo, she organized a Glee Club. Many new meml ers responded to her call. Quite a few v ere from the lunior High and some from last year’s Glee Club. On account of there being so many new members, we started on old, familiar, four part songs. On February 21 we made our debut in a Washington program. It proved a great success and we were highly complimented on our efforts. e are greatly indebted for our success, to Mrs. LaCrone for her splendid leadership and help. Glee Club work has many advantages that will prove a help to us in the future. It helps us to l e more appreciative of music heard over the radio 01 m any other manner. It trains us to sing together. It gives a higher cultural value to music. It offers a pleasant way to sjxmkI our leisure time. And lastly, it gives an extra-curricular activity which differs widely from others.

An increase of interest has been shown by the students who use these additions for class work. I his is a great aid for the teachers in helping them to increase the knowledge of the students and adds considerable interest to the class. The effort shown by the librarians in completing the cataloguing and mending of the worn books; the co-operation of the students and the adequate and instructive aid of Mrs. Fetzer, have all helped to make this vear a successful one for the library and its staff.

Eau Claire won the Berrien County Fruit Judging contest which was held at Berrien Springs and Benton Harbor was second. W esley Grant School News Staff This year the tenth grade organized a news staff for the purpose of supervis- ing the publication of the school notes appearing weekly in the “Berrien County Journal.” In doing this work we have tried not only to give to the public the general news of the school, hut also to bring to the parents the work that the students themselves have been doing, so that they may see the goals of improvement toward which they are working. This work has ! een done through the splendid co-operation and interest shown by the teachers, the members of the tenth grade, and the staff, who have been willing helpers. Because of their interest, we feel that we have accomplished some- thing in this enterprise.

First Team The Maroon team started the season fairly well, but after the first two games they went into a slump which lasted the entire season, almost up until the tourna- ments, the boys winning only a few of the last games. When the Niles tournament rolled around they went fine. They played Galien in the first game at the tournament, and won 17-16. The next game was played with Baroda. There was a I letter display of “highly polished” basketball in this game, the score being 32-20 in favor of Eau Claire. But the next night the toys wire swamped by the fast working Stevensville five, by a score of 19-34. However, as we won two games we had the honor of going to Kalamazoo as “runners up.” Staley and Trowbridge were chosen on the all county first team and Tom Ferry on the second team. In the first game at Kalamazoo we played Burr Oak. The boys displayed a much totter brand of basketball at Kalamazoo than they did at Niles, and the Fail Claire cagers ran up the score. 13-26 in their favor. The next night they met the Hanover five. The boys still played fine, and after a hard fought battle, won 20-26. The next night they met our “old enemy.” Stevensville. who had beaten us three times previously. But brother luck was with us and due to the over confidence of the Stevensville squad, and plenty of fighting spirit from our toys, we defeated them in a very exciting game 13-14. Many local fans attended the game to give a toys a hand. Again our toys were honored, this time by placing Staley and Trow - bridge on the Class “D” team and Teichman on the second team. Luck was no longer with us when we met the Saginaw Lutherans at Detroit. The Maroons were unable to coj e with the fast working Lutherans and w e lost by a score of 9-30. The season ended with a splendid banquet given by the j arents of the players at which the election of Tom Ferry as captain for the coming year was announced.

Second Team Under the leadership of “Shorty ’ Michael, the Eau C laire Ponies had a more successful year than the varsity squad. They displayed a very good brand of bas- ketball and good co-operation throughout the entire season. This made most of the games more interesting and thrilling than the first team games. Five of the second team squacf will receive letters and two of these five will graduate this year. From present indications the “Ponies” should develop into a very good team next year and carry on the good work started by the first team this year. They won more games than the first teant and those that they lost were usu- ally by small margins. Captain Michael was the high point man with a.total of 57 points throughout the season, with “Rusty Frost next with 43 points. The feature game of the season was with Coloma on the local floor. The “Ponies were ahead at the half, but Coloma forged ahead until the last few min- utes of the game. 'I hen the “Ponies’ took another spurt and ran the score up to 30-32 in Eau Claire’s favor.

The next game was with Dowagiac and was the best game of the season. Eau Claire was well ahead until the last quarter when luck changed, hut even then Dowagiac could not catch up. so the score was 16-14 with Dowagiac on the bottom. The main stand-bys were Captain Bill Thompson. Orval Kirk, Boh Birkholm, and Marion Mitchell with Bill as high point man. About the middle of the season Orval was promoted to the first team squad thus depriving the youngsters of one of their best men. Lewis Rogers Baseball The 1 aseball team of 1929 went through the most disastrous season in the history of the school. Most of the hoys were inexperienced and a new team had to he developed. “Butch Diamond. Eugene Mason and Lewis Rogers were the pitchers with Frost and Hemingway behind the plate.
