FOREWORD In presenting this, the first Year Book of the Greenville High School, the Staff has endeavored to produce a publication of which we may all be proud. The purpose of this number of Hi-Life is to portray a clear-cut and vivid picture of the past year’s activities, both in work and in play. So, if in future years, it serves to call up memories of old friends and happy hours spent in the G. H. S., the editors may feel that they have been true to the trust placed in them, and so may each succeeding Year Book be better than the last. BOARD OF EDUCATION ELLIS W. RANNEY, President CLAUD V.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, The pupils left in the old main room Look up at the teacher’s desk and say “I never saw such a long, long day!” Then the clock on the wall seems to go on a strike, And you hardly can wait ’till your feet hit the pike. You look at the clock, and it’s just 3:10 You start to read and you wonder when You’ll get a breath of good fresh air. But just as you’re going to tear your hair It’s 3:15, just a few minutes more And you’ll be marching out the big front door. You glance at the stage and you see Diana Or Mercury over the big “Pianna.” Up at the clock it’s just 3:20, Time’s nearly up, but still there’s a plenty. You fix your books and look at the seats Lined up like so many streets, You look at the window and up at the sky, And just when you think you’re going to die, The bell rings, and you get your hat; And as you go out, you’re thinking that “School’s out for today!” D. B.,’19. LEAVES FROM MY DIARY. Perhaps the twenty-third of June isn’t just the proper time to begin a record of one's fortune.) and misfortunes, but at any rata this is the first entrance of my new diary. Hazelle Briggs and I start on a trip for Europe tomorrow, so we’re both starting a diary and have agreed to exchange accounts at the end of every week so we each may have the benefit of what the other learns. What interesting company—for me, at least, for Hazelle herself is more fun than a picnic. JUNE 29.—We’ve been sight seeing some of the most beautiful scenery! If we see anything more lovely in Europe, I’ll settle right down in the midst of it. Just returned from a trip to V’alley Forge. Oar guide was a perfect wonder. I heard someone behind me say that “Sonny” Finch always was the best informed boy in history she had ever seen. I turned around to see who else in our company knew our guide and there was Florence Sat-terlee on a trip through the East. We all had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Finch, whom we still persisted in calling “Sonny.” JULY 3.—The trip to Boston was hot and dustv and I don’t feel much inclined to write, but I’m in duty bound to do it. I don’t believe, how'ever, that even water could dampen Hazelle’s spirits, so I wish it would rain for this room is perfectly stuffy. JULY 4.—Hazelle found two cousins, Mr. and Miss Eldridge, here today, and verv kindly let me have Miss while she took Mr. To tell the truth I would have had a much pleasanter time if she had changed places with me, but perhaps I shouldn’t have learned so much. My escort (or escortess, since I feel somewhat edgewise) and I visited several art galleries. In one of them we met Everlyn Jensen, who acted as guide. She seemed especially Croud to show us the carved heads of several eautiful women, marked with the sculptor’s name, Miles Moon. Miles never was afraid to try anything new in the way of girls. In the afternoon we heard a Philadelphia Orchestra, the first large one I had ever seen conducted by a woman. My curiosity was aroused so we investigated and found out that the woman was Bernice De Hart. I had a very pleasant conversation with her and she told me she had just returned from a visit to Fernie’s aviation school in California. I’m dying to know' what Hazelle has done today, but she won’t tell until day after tomorrow. I, at least, have spent a very safe and sane Fourth. JULY' 6.—Goody! Tonight I’ll find out how Hazelle behaved day before yesterday. She went to see the latest pugilist, Cecil Burkholder! She remarks that she thinks the ladies were especially inflamed by Fat’s red hair. He told Hazelle that he came very near not being able to do his work, for he couldn’t get along without his glasses, and he knew they would get broken. But the great optometrist Lester Frownfelder, very kindly invented a kind of unbreakable spectacles. JULY 13, and FRIDAY TOO.—We’ve had a pleasant journey to New York, nevertheless. Met Addie Addis on the train. She’s a traveling saleswoman nowr for a publishing company, but her name isn’t Addis now; at any rate' I inferred that it wasn’t by the plain band on her finger. JULY 15—New York is a bewildering place. The first thing we did was to get mixed up in a mob on a strike for better street car service. But the disturbance w'as quickly quelled when Chief of Police Edythe Ruch called out the blue coats. We visited Miss Ruch at her office, where she gave us tickets to hear the great elocutionist, Hazelle Banks. We learned also that Nila Chapman is driving a mail route in Alaska. JULY 17—W’e’re all excitement today Start tomorrow for Europe, so we’re going to bed early. JULY 18—The first day of our ocean travel has been fine. Hope it is all as smooth. We w'ere very lucky in obtaining passage on This steamer, especially since the captain is our old friend, “Jimmy” Taylor, who is just as good natured as ever and really looks quite big and manly in his uniform. JULY' 19—Nothing of importance has happened yet today. But the famous singer, John Henkel, and his accompanist. Miss Griswold. who are on a tour through England and Scotland, have consented to give a concert in the saloon JULY 31—We were met in London bv rain and dreariness and w’e haven’t dispensed with their company yet. This has been a drearv day •outside, but w'e’ve been entertained by Charles Reid that we weren’t interested until we “Sweet Katrine”. There are so many Charles Reids that we weren’t interested until we learned that this one graduated at Greenville, Page Thirty-one Michigan, 1917. Of course then we understood the significance of the title of his story. AUG. 1—Sunday and one that does credit to its name. We went to hear Mr. Elvin Nelson’s sermon. Mr. Nelson is on a world’s tour in the interest of Prohibition and will probably end his journey in Alaska, which seems to hold a special attraction for him. AUG. 1U—Paris is a beautiful place but there isn’t the rural air about it that there was about all of England. Hazelle says the styles are perfectly “stunning,” but I hear that Irene Hansen and Julia Moore, who very strongly advocate “Made in America” goods, quite outshone the Parisian modistes. AUG. 11—We visited the English school tor girls founded by Mrs. Kerkoff. She very kindly invited us to a concert to be given for her pupils by Miss Louise Hillman. Our old friend comes highly recommended by the Germans, who declare that she quite equals Schumann-Keink in her mastery of the Deutsche Gesprach. AUG. 20 (Copenhagen, Denmark)—We’ve just returned from a visit to our doctor friend, Frank Ilauge. He has done so much in teaching individual sanitation that he will soon have to move in order to obtain practice. But he didn’t seem to worry much and his services as a guide were indispensable; at least Hazelle thinks so and I quite agree. Mr. Hauge has just returned from a visit to Belgium, where the devastation of war has practically been wiped away by the help of the American agriculturalist, Andrew Petersen, who has taught the people scientific farming. AUG. 28—(On deck again)—Just visited the pearl fisheries in the Persian Gulf, where we saw Ilah Emery doing her daring feats of deep sea diving. We’re on our w’ay to see our old friend, Emma Lucas, a missionary in India. SEPT. 12—We’re at the mission but for just a few' days. A long time ago I promised to present Emma with a woolen blanket as a w’edding gift. I infer that I’ll have to keep my promise from the fact that she speaks rather shyly of a Y. M. C. A. founded by Harry Nelson and Albert Vining in the mountains of Tennessee. Hazelle guesses that Albert probably spends most of his summer time in Greenville, Michigan, and as to the woolen blanket, she suggests that a refrigerator and an apparatus for manufacturing ice would be more appropriate. SEPT. LAST, or THIRTIETH—We’ve been sailing or steaming ever since we left India. We stopped at Hong Kong for a few’ hours and almost the first thing we saw was a great flaring banner, “Votes for Women,” borne by Edna Casw’ell. Edna has been a regular “Chinese Abraham Lincoln,” in emancipating the women of China. Only a short sojourn in Japan, where we met American Ambassador Charles Nelson. OCT. 10—I guess we’re on the home stretch at last, but for lack of time now', w’e’ve decided to visit the Orient again some time, hazelle and I are in the same predicament, were lacking funds. 'So it’s home again and home again, America for me; my heart is turning home again to God s countree.’' OCT. 11—We’re up one minute and down the next today, but the w’orst ox it is we don’t know which place we will stay finally. There w'ere so many seasick people on boad that the doctor and his assistant, r-dythe Shelden, had to be called to take care of them. I think it is safer to stay on deck; the railing is such a comfortable place to lean against. Hazelle told the steward to throw her supper overboard and save time. OCT. 23—Reached San Francisco safely and we’re “putting up” at the Thompson-Houle Hotel, although it has consolidated now’ and is generally known simply as the Thompson House. We were talking w’ith Edward, who told us that his two chemist friends, Wyman Moffatt and Peter Lyndrup, are making valuable experiments in Death Valley. I picked up a copy of the Out-Look Magazine with a pictureof Ralph Lape, the new editor, on the cover. Mr. Lape certainly chose the right vocation aw’ay back in 1917. OCT. 30—(Miller ranch, Montana)—We’re making a short visit at the ranch of Agnes and Eleanor Miller. They have a beautiful place and welcomed us warmly. Although the weather didn’t. Nov. 10—Grand Rapids looks good and it’s the most familiar spot I’ve struck for six months. We met Marion Edsall this morning on the street. She hasn’t recreased in circumference, but I hear that she is becoming quite prominent as an artist, although 1 always imagined that an artist must be tall and -slender. NOV. 11—I came to Greenville for a few days’ visit at Hazelle’s and then I’m off for home! The Daily Call says that in February Miss Zadie Zuver will take up her duties as commercial teacher in the Grand Rapids Central High School. The Advertising section invites the public to Silver’s Theater to see the latest movie star, Seth Slawson, so of course we can’t miss it. Hazelle says she is not going to w’ork any more, but if she thinks that settling down to mopping and baking and sweeping and dusting isn’t w’ork, I could very easily shatter her air castles. I never have had much practical experience for I guess I’m destined to be an ol --- bachelor maid, but at least w’e are both agreed that “Life is just one fool thing after another and Love is two fool things after each other.” Page Thirty-two JUNIORS Page Thirty-three J n o JUNIOR CLASS JUNIORS IRVING FRALICK— HELENA ROSENDAL— ELLA MAC LEISH— FRANZ KING— BEATRICE LILLIE— MARY VAN DEINSE— GORDON RETTINGER— FLORENCE MUNSON— CATHERINE FLECK— LYNES BALDWIN— GENEVIEVE JACOBS— BLANCHE NEWLAND— HILBERT WITTKOP— MARJORIE NOXON— VIOLETTE NEWBROUGH ARTHUR ROELL— VERDA WILSON— HELENE HANSEN— WILLIAM STAFFORD— JENNIE CHRISTENSEN-EARNEST FRIES— JOHANNA LYNDRUP— BEULAH TALLMAN— RAYMOND YOUNGS— “ ‘Tis better to be stubborn than not be at all.” ‘‘She studies, she studies not.” ‘‘She is pretty, she is sweet, She is prim and very neat.” “A solemn youth with sober phiz Who eats his grub and minds his bizz.” ‘‘Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these—I love all men.” “Dutchie” “Vass”? “‘As quiet as a dishpan with drum attachments.” ‘‘Hello, central—Vat number did I vant?” ‘‘And when there’s a man in the case You know all other things give place.” ‘‘Next to your mother, whom do you love?

Forty-five Class History Well, as every class has a history of some sort, it follows that the class of ’17 has a history, of a sort. The class entered the High School in 1913, in the new building, and did the usual thing in the usual way—usually, but once in a while an especially green “Fresh-ie” would blunder, and the school would ring, to his confusion. Our first decided disagreement was over our class colors, some declaring themselves in favor of red and yellow (!) but red and white was finally chosen. About this time, we came in for our full share of Sophomore troubles, a time full of fearful moments for the Freshmen who ventured down the street alone, for he was liable to return to the paternal roof in a delapidated condition, rather discouraging to the person who does the mending. After these differences had been settled, Freshmen and Sophomores agreed unon a Hallowe’en party, which was a joyful occasion in the gym, with lots of games and refreshments. When, in the course of human events, these Freshmen became Sophomores, their hearts were made glad by the presence of a large class of Freshmen, who in turn were made to feel the yoke of Sophomore rule. About this time Mr. Shigley came into our midst, and none of us have ever regretted his coming. As the affairs between the two classes daily became more complicated, an organized fight was arranged, and it was a very exciting occasion. It consisted of a tug of war, a sack rush, and various other forms of working off the excess energy. As Juniors we settled down to a steady pace, saving our swiftest pace for the last lap of the race. The “Tyro”, a little paper edited by the members of the High School was published, and was well received by the public. A Junior-Senior picnic was planned, but on account of rain, was held in the gym. With the usual number of escapades and close calls, affairs flowed smoothly along until, all at once, we found ourselves Seniors. Seniors! What a feeling when one thinks of not taking one’s place among the rest next fall! What a vacant place the school life will leave in our lives. Just as we are about to leave it all, and break the old ties, we realize how much it has all meant to us, and we can. for the first time, understand the emotions of the successful graduates who come back and give us little talks. A feeling of gratitude to those who have made it possible for us to go thus far in our education comes over us, and we go out from the Greenville High School here highly resolved that their efforts shall not be in vain. HAZEL BANKS, T7. Pa-sr Forty- w von Page Forty-eight Athletic Activities As we leave our school life behind us we can look back with pleasure and satisfaction to our athletic activities. The benefits which we derived, whether in active participation, or in support of the wholesome sports, will always be with us, making our efforts easier in the game of life. And as we play our positions in this greater game we will, in our mind’s eye, oft times picture some thrilling event of the gridiron, the court, or the diamond, which will give to us a new impetus, a great enthusiasm, and a stimulus towards greater efforts. These memories will quicken our pulses, and will enable us to meet the attacks of our opponents with our heads up and the light of battle in our eyes. Foot-ball was taken up last fall for the first time in several years. Considering the fact that the team was late in organizing and the boys were new to the game, a great amount was accomplished. The boys learned the rudiments of the game and also some of its finer points. The team played several games, winning one and losing the others by a small margin. Next fall when the call for candidates is issued, there will be a ready response and each fellow will know exactly what is expected of him. Basket-ball reigns supreme as the sport in our school, both the boys and girls being represented. The teams won the greater share of the games played and fine team-work and fighting-spirit was shown. The boys’ team won in the Montcalm County series, students and town-people being loyal supporters of the games. Track and baseball are the spring activities of the scnooi, and some excellent material has shown up so that a creditable showing will surely be made in these lines. To those who fought the battles for dear old G. H. S. we leave the happy memories of the struggles in which they have engaged, and, as old team-mates meet, these games will be played over and over again. As we pass from our high-school life let us ever remain loyal and true to the teams which will represent our High School in the games of the future. Now let us say a little about the influence that has been back of our athletics for the last few years. From the time Coach R. E. Watkins started coaching our teams we have met with success. Mr. Watkins is a man of sterling qualities and has instilled these qualities into the boys under his management. Clean athletics is the thought he has tried to teach his boys, and the result is plainly seen by the teams he has developed. This means a lot to the credit of the school, and we are sure the boys who have played under Coach Watkins’ training will always be proud of the fact when they look back to their dear old school days.

K. Black Athletic Field it is hoped that tennis may he taken up and in that way provide a competitive sport for spring and fall. At the close of the 1916 schedule the prospects of the Girls’ Basket Ball Team were not the brightest, yet a very successful year was enjoyed. Several positions on the team were left vacant, due co graduation, but with three regulars left and a lot of fine material to pick from, a splendid team was built up. Captain Edna Caswell, playing her third year at guard, contributed greatly to the defense of the team, guarding closely and accurately. Esther Miller, who assisted her, proved to be a good match and w as in the game every minute. Esther will be back next year to play the defense. Ethel Rettinger, playing her second year at forward, proved herself one of the best and fastest forwards ever playing on the Greenville team. We regret very much to lose such an efficient player. Mary Emily Ranney, also playing her second year at the forward position, deserves to be called a “Star”; her team work and accuracy at shooting baskets earned the name for which she is responsible. Edith Crawford, who played at center position, displayed great basket ball ability, and proved herself to be a steady, hard-working contributor to the work of the team. Eulah Haviland and Helena Rosendall made their first appearance on the basket ball floor, at the center position. Both are fast players, good at breaking up their opponents’ plays, and are always in the game. They can be counted on for next year’s 4 regulars.-’ Marion Watson and Beatrice Roell substituted for center. They showed great basket ball ability for their first appearances, and we are glad to announce that they will be back for next year’s team. Miss Vining, who acted as girls’ chaperon, won great favor through her willing spirit to help on all occasions. She accompanied the girls on their trips, as well as being present at all practices and all games. It is to her credit that the pupils of the High School enjoyed many parties. It was her initiative which made the things a success. W’e cannot say too much in favor of Mr. Paine. He took the responsibility of being Girls’ Basket Ball Coach, and in due time developed a team which was ready to meet any team in this part of the state. He possesses a great deal of “School Spirit.” as well as lots of “pep,” which always arouses enthusiasm wherever he takes his place in athletics. GAMES. Alumni, H. S............

Pnsro Fifty-Hjjht Pasre Fifty-nine House of Representatives The House of Representatives was organized in the fail of 1915 by students and teachers of the Greenville Central High School for the purpose of developing the young men’s proficiency in the Arts of Oratory and Debating, and their knowledge both of the question of National interest and of the working of the Government of the United States of America.

Mott Mrs. S arv� l VIOLIN—Kennctli Thom TKOM K( NK Chari Nelson THE BRONZE HAND I was born in Copenhagen in the eastern part of the city, where my father was an editor. Our house, lying in the outskirts of the city, was a wide, two-story white brick building with green blinds. The house was always kept shut during the sunny time of the day, and I cannot recall ever having seen the rooms in full sunlight. At night we were compelled to keep the house shut to prevent the flies, mosquitoes, and bats from coming in. The bats kept themselves hid in an old ruin, just outside the tower, and were apt to come in as soon as the lamps were lighted. And so I could not, like other children, have the pleasure of looking out on the moon and stars. I was lying one hot summer night, trying to fall asleep, which seemed almost impossible. In order to prevent me from constantly calling and bothering my nurse, Polly, who was past seventy and whose limbs were stiff with rheumatism, my mother had as compensation for the loss of the sight of the moon and stars, placed a bronze hand on a little table beneath the window. This hand served as a place to put her rings when they were not in use. When mother had kissed me good night, and had gone, and Polly had left me, I often lay with my sleepy eyes staring at the beautiful bronze hand, which stood by the night lamp, sparkling with the gold and jewels on its fingers. There were small flowers in the rings of all colors, forget-me-nots of small turquoise, roses and rubies, and violets of dark beautiful colors. On one of her rings was a pearl like a white fisheye, another had two transparent clear diamonds which looked almost like two drops of water, which constantly caught the gleams of the little oil lamp. These reflected lights were to my mind almost as beautiful as the stars. I only wished that the hand some night would come to life, and come through the air to me, and pat me on my cheek with all its sparkling rings,—something my mother seldom had time to do. At times it would happen that I awoke in fright because I had dreamed the hand was alive, but that it had come crawling on all its fingers on the floor like a reptile to strangle me. One evening I was sent unusually early to bed, for we were going to have a dinner company at our house. I was lying alone, list- . ening to the voices and the noises downstairs. After a while I heard the sound of glasses clinked together, while a very comfortable smell of the many things to be eaten and the wines of various kinds forced its way to my lonely chamber. I went to sleep thinking of the sparkling hand, but soon awoke again. The heat in my room was too intense for sleep, so I started to sob a little, and called for Polly. She evidently had already been to my room, and when she found me asleep had returned to the kitchen; the others did not hear my sobs. I could not endure the heat any longer, and even though my mother had forbidden me to open the blinds, I plunged quickly over the table and opened them wide, and was back in bed inside of a very few seconds. But I was disappointed to find that it did not become cooler in my room; it even seemed that the air was warmer than it had been before. At last, overcome by heat and fatigue, I began to drowse; then again I was wide awake. There by the windows, three grey ele-hants which were painted on the curtains egan to move back and forth as the wind blew. They seemed to come nearer and nearer. I stared at them, but the queer soundless movements continued; there, my God in heaven, what was that moving from underneath the curtain. It was a long white hand, with black hair all over it, clear up to the wrist I sat up in my bed and was going to call with all my might for Polly, but I stopped quickly for, at the first sound of my voice, the hand doubled into a fist, turned slowly and came toward me. I hid my face underneath the covers, and in a few minutes when I again dared look out, the hand had disappeared. Just at this minute too, the light of the lamp went out. To my surprise and pleasure the moon was now up and shining in, and I could no longer see the elephants moving. Whether I had fallen asleep thinking I had dreamed the whole thing. I can lo longed say, only I know that I fell asleep again and first awoke when Polly stood by my bed calling me. “He must up, little Massa Frank,” she said with a kind tone; she evidently hated to wake me at this hour. “He will hive to go down and make music for them ladies and gentlemen, poor Massa Frank.” I was not a bit surprised at that; I had been accustomed, Pag Sixty-five when we had company, to being awakened at almost any hour of the night, dressed, and carried down stairs to the parlor. There I was usually placed on a chair, and as a wonderful child,” asked to please the company with a tune on my flute, which I take for granted, 1 played with very poor skill. Anyway, I have never as yet shown any special talent in the line of music. On this occasion old Polly, with great difficulty, grot me into my best attitude by telling: me about the flowers, the ligrhts, big: dishes of delicious bon-bons, and well dressed folks. But I was so sleepy that the confections already stuck in my throat and everything: done by me was absolutely automatic. 1 hardly know how I reached down stairs and really did not wake until 1 was pushed inside the door and the strong bright lights shone in my eyes, and the noise of moving chairs reached my ears. I went from person to person and at last ended in a big leather chair in which I stood up and started to play to the best of my ability. I recall very clearly the singing and playing of an American seaman’s song, which old Polly had taught me. “For his heart is like the sea. Ever open, brave and free, And the girls must lonely be, Till the ship comes back.” Two other numbers were played and I was lifted from the chair and summoned from all directions. “Come over here, my little musician,” said a tall gentleman with coal black hair and mustache, while he closed his hand on something on his knee. “What do you suppose I have for you?” I stared thoughtfully at the hand, which lay closed on his knee. His hand was long, white, and with black hair up to the wrist. What was it about that hand? Where had I seen that hand before? All at once it came to me: Oh, how I understood at once the joke. “Well, come on, my little man; what do you guess I have here?” 4 Oh,” I screamed with triumph. “I know! you have my mother’s rings. Ho-ho! I can tell you.” 1 bent forward. “I saw you, when you took them from underneath the curtains; I know that hand with the black hair all over it.” Then I laughed out loud, while in triumph I looked about the faces of the rest and waited for an applause for this little trick so well performed. The tall gentlman rose quickly to his feet. “I believe the boy is dreaming,” he said “What are those rumors he comes with?” But as he opened his hand, in which a beautiful re 1 cherry lay, he again laughed very alarmingly, so as to induce the rest to accompany him But there was not one of the rest that joined him. but instead a queer stillness took its place in the parlor. I could hear a chair or two being pushed back, a voice that murmured, a finger that struck a couple of keys on the piano. My mother stepped up, angry because o2 the sudden ill-humor I had brought into the jolly party. “It is that bronze hand again, ’ she said. “He lies so often and dreams about it, and talks about it in his sleep, but tomorrow I will remove it, and it shall no longer stand in there.” At this moment old Polly came dashing almost breathless into the room, wdth the bronze hand stretched out beween her shiny negro hands. “Bless you everyone,” she cried, “Empy! empty! the rings are gone, the rings are gone.” She cried and showed her teeth like a mad dog. Everyone was lalarmed; there was a rustling as though all the furniture was tipped over. In the midst of the fracas I saw the tall dark man grab the heavy bronze hand from Polly, and start to swing it right and left; and the guests all fled for shelter save a few’ men. But just then a gentleman stepped up to me and laid his hand on my face. “Come,” he said, ‘ this is not for a little boy to look at, and he and Polly went up stairs with me. When I again awoke, it was almost noon; I asked Polly a few questions in regard to the event of the night but she refused to talk to me about it, and said I had better forget about it. But that evening when I had gone to bed I noticed to my great sorrow, that the bronze had w’as not there and the blinds were tightly closed; but up in the highest part of one of the blinds Polly had drilled a hole without anyone knowing it, just in the place where the evening star shone at the time I retired. An eye for eye wdth the star, have I, night after night, year after year, glided into my sleep iust as thankful to the star as to the old lady that caused it to shine in at the hole and comfort me.

Page Seventy Alumni Association In answer to a call in the city papers on June 29, 1889, a goodly number of the Alumni assembled in the High School building for the purpose of forming an Alumni Association, which has existed until the present time. The officers elected at this first meeting: were: President—C. L. Rarden. Vice President—Miss Mary E. Fish. Secretary—Charles M. Hamper. Treasurer—Mrs. E. A. Kemp. Each year since its organization the graduates look forward to the mysterious ceremonies which make them a full-fledged member of the Alumni Association. Formerly the meetings were held at various places, but since the completion of our new building, we are glad to say that the old friends and classmates are able to gather together in the High School Auditorium. Last year an unusually large crowd gathered in the gymnasium, which was patriotically decorated with American flags. After the former graduates had been seated at the tables, the class of 1916 was ushered in one by one, while Don Dickerson related some of the past history of each member, making much merriment for the audience. After a delicious three-course banquet had been served, President Don L. Beardslee introduced Toastmaster Elmer Siple. The first speaker to be introduced was Augustine Schendon of the class of 1916, whose toast, “Cabbages,” was both interesting and at times embarrassing to Alumni. Mr. Hugh Harris disseminated his store of knowledge of “Leeks” and was followed by Mrs. Whitaker, who delighted her listeners by completing the Alumni’s store of edibles in her humorous elucidation entitled, “Mushrooms.” The musical program was well up to the standard usually listened to by Greenville audiences, consisting of a vocal solo by Mrs. Earle B. Slawson and an instrumental duet by Mrs. C. L. Winter and Mrs. J. C. Smith. The audience then retired to the High School Auditorium, where the initiation of the class of 1916 was the next thing in order. A burlesque of the Shakespearean Pageant was given, after which the minutes of last year’s meeting were read. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—Mrs. Irving Walker. Vice President—Charles J. Gibson. Corresponding Secretary—Mrs. Nellie Munson. Recorder—Glenn Smith. Those who wished to dance remained until the wee small hours of the morning, and everyone declared it to be one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held. Needless to say, the class of 1917 are anxiously looking forward to this year’s festivities. % PaKi Sfvonty-one THE KID BROTHERS VIEW POINT Gee whiz, I ain’t on’y ’leven, but I hope I got more sense than Scrub. He’s in there, stan’in’ on a chair in front of ma’s lookin' glass, a lookin’ at hisself in his new ball suit. He thinks he's some punkins, sense he got in the High School, but Jim says he ain’t nothin’ but a “Freshie”, and that don’t count for much, Jim says. But Scrub, he struts around an’ says “Us fellers in the High School”, and’ “Us fellers” this, an’ “Us fellers” that, an’ he’s .ies meaner’n anythin'. Why, he’s meaner’n ever. He speaks to me zif I was a little baby, and’ didn’t have no bizniz talkin’ to him, what’s got a girl already, but if he’d ast me, she ain’t much of a girl. She wears her hair in a pig tail, and she’s got freckles, an’ she giggles all the time, an’ shows a hole in her mouth, where a tooth came out. Shucks! When 1 get a girl, she’ll be a regular girl. But ma she says if gettin’ to be a Freshman don’t do no other good, it made “Richard” wash behind his ears. Ma calls Scrub “Richard”. That’s his name, but Scrub fits him better. He’s got red hair. But now, there’s Jim, he’s in the Sophomore class, and he's almost as Lad as Scrub, in a diffrunt way. Why, he goes around talkin’ German, and whatcher think, the other day, when I was huntin’ for his ol’ ball mitt, cause I wanted to swipe it, I found some potry. Yessir, a bunch of pomes, all sad and sobby like, about ruby lips and azurer eyes, and a broke an’ bleedin’ heart. Jee, ain’t it tough luck, to have a bunch like there is around this house for brothers and sisters ? Why, Jip, if it wasn’t fer you, an’ this yere ol’ place I fixed up back of the barn, I b’lieve I'd jump in the river, I git so plumb ashamed. You understand, Jip, I know, even if you are on’y a dog what can't see nohow out of one eye, and what ain’t got but three laigs, an’ both ears all chawed up. Now, whatcher waggin’ per tail about? Just wait ’till I look through this knot hole. Keep still, Jip, I tell you, keep still! Aw, it’s just “Elizabeth” agoin’ to the Junior hop. Huh! It’ll be a hop if any of the res’ can’t dance any better’n her. But she says the “dancing instructor” says she’s doin’ “splendidly.” Huh! That’s some guy she’s got with her. He don’t seem to know' whether to put his hands in his pockets or pull them up in his sleeves. He must be a Junior, too. Guess I’ll yell, “ ’Lo, Liz”,’ just to see how mad she’ll git. “ ’LO LIZ!” Oh, golly, wasn’t that a awful look! Gee, w'asn’t she mad when she see my head a stickin’ over the fence? Liz! Oh, how she hates to be called Liz! ’Spec she’ll tell ma about it when she gits home, and ma’ll tell pa, and pa’ll probly do somethin . Oh, well, when I git to be a Senior, like them twins, everythin' will be all right, an’ Scrub wdll have to go without a new suit this summer, an’ Elizabeth must not ask for more spending money this w eek, and Jim must not wear his best shoes every day, they’ve got to last all summer, ’cause you know, children, it’s Billy’s last year, and he will need so much. There, Jip, didn’t that sound like ma? But there’s no use in them twdns bein’ so durned important, they’re just the limit. They tell ma’n pa that it would be diffrunt if they wfas Juniors like Beth, or Sophomores, like Jim is, or even little Freshies. like Scrub, but they are Seniors, an’ they gotter have things to uphold the dignity of the fambly. I don’t know zakly what they mean, but it sounds like they was tryin to put one over on ma’n pa. It makes the res’ of the kids jus’ as mad. all but me, me, I just’ 1-a-f-f an’ 1-a-f-f. But I tell you, Jip, it's a purty good thing maybe that we can't see ourselves as others see us, an’ I may be the littles’ now, but jes' you wait. HAZEL BANKS, ’17. Page Seventy-two SENIOR CLASS WILL In the name of the Benevolent Father of All: We, the Senior Class of 1917, of the High School of the City of Greenville, County of Montcalm and State of Michigtn, being of sound and disposing mind and memory and of uncertain ape, do make, publish and declare this to be our last Will and Testament: Item I. It is our will that all our class debts be paid as soon as possible after our graduation. Item II. It is recognized by all that John has the privilege of lauphinp out loud at any time or anything. He wills his laugh to Lynes, trusting that when he leaves he will will it to someone else. Item III. Albert Vining has a ring that he will leave to the state, not to the State of Michigan, but to the state of matrimony. Item IV. We bequeath all the musical art and ability to the Junior Class, hoping that they will profit by it and increase their knowledge. Item V. We bequeath the privilege of chewing gum to the Sophomores. Item VI. We also bequeath to the Juniors the tender services of the Faculty which we, in the past, have so valued. Item VII. We also bequeath to the Freshmen, the Gymnasium and its pleasing associations. Item VIII. Charles, Albert and Roy bequeath the art of winning fond admirers and skill at making baskets to the future basket ball team. Item IX. Andrew Peterson bequeaths his oratorical ability to Otto Hendrickson, hoping that in the future he will become one of America’s greatest orators. Item X. Irene Hansen bequeaths the privilege of whispering to Howard Fisher. Item XI. Frank Hauge bequeaths the entire charge of the main room to Miss Griswold. Item XII. Marion Edsall bequeaths the art of speeding to Arthur Hillman. Item XIII. Henry Finch leaves his much envied ability to eat his way through a whole laboratory of Chemistry Equations to Arthur Roell. These two boys are very good when it comes to the study of Chemistry, and we are proud of their ability. Perhaps some day we will hear of their making a chemical compound which the two together cannot hold down, for instance “sodium-water,” and then----------? Item XIV. Julia Moore gives and wills her ability to keep pace with “Mistress Fashion” to Helen Hansen, who we fully expect will go to Paris and “show ’em how to do it.” Item XV'. Hazelle Briggs, the Senior cartoonist, wills her ability to Hilbert Wittkop, who we know' will profit by the gift. Item XVI. Addie Addis gives and wills her ability to make acquaintances easily, but especially w'ith boys, to Mary Emily Ranney. “Emmy” hasn’t been waiting for this gift to come her way, but has really been seeking her own opportunities. If you feel a little in doubt, just ask anyone about the number of visitors she has. Item XVII. Martha Griswold leaves all but twelve dozen of her freckles to Lynes Baldwin, who intends starting a Savings and Loan Company in the near future. The new enterprise will be promoted under such a large capital that no other results than “big dividends” can be expected; judging from the Senior Class pictures, one would conclude that stock could not be had at any price within a few days after opening. LOUISE HILLMAN. ’17. ■ Pago Sevontv-three DIARY OF AN AUTOMOBILE Sunday. February 27th, 1916.—I wonder if you would like to read my diary. The diary of a big purple touring car. That’s me!! In all my glory I was taken from the factory Thursday and placed in Pasadena. This floor is so slippery I can hardly stand. Wednesday. .March 1st. 1916.—Wonder what’s the matter with people. They’re all crazy about me and after they look me over then I hear one of them say: “Some boat, but I’d like to strike the--------first.’ Sunday, March 5th, 1916.—I am still here. If some one would only buy me and stop looking. My rear tire is nearly stuck to the floor and I’m just aching to have someone honk my horn. I feel like screeching. Thursday, March 23rd, 1916.—Today a man by the name of Oscar Dayton bought me and the garage man took me out to teach him. Some driver. I’ll say. I held my breath more than once and simply puffed. Sunday. April 2nd. 1916.—Like my home very much. A little rambler covered garage and right next to me stands Mrs. Dayton’s electric. Tuesday. April 18th, 1916.—Oscar certainly is a speedy driver and it was slippery today. Saturday, April 29th, 1916.—Today I did it. Rained hard and Oscar drove me down the pavement unusually fast. My tires slipped and I hit one of those tiny, insignificant Pekingise spaniels which was attached to a cord and being pulled by a beautiful young lady. Broke the pups leg and cost Oscar a vet bill. Wet asphalt pavement is nearly as bad to slip on as the floor of the Biltmore. ball room. Wednesday. May 17th, 1916.—Today my tire grasped a three-inch spike so I’m to have a new one. Oh! but it’s hot. Friday, May 26th. 1916.—Fooled the folks this morning. Oscar neglects me and after they'd all piled in to go on a picnic I decided 1 needed my batteries charged. Oscar talks German ! ! ! Sunday. June 4th. 1916.—Mrs. Dayton stuck her hat pin into my white leather cushion the other day and you can still see the puncture. Thursday, June 20th, 1916.—Curses ! I believe the Daytons think I’m a derrick. I'm a seven-passenger and can carry a lot, but when it comes to fourteen people, a hill as steep as the Rockies, my right side as crooked as the Leaning Tovrer of Pisa, and then expecting me to climb that hill on high, I decline. Who wouldn’t ? ? ? Thursday, June 29th, 1916.—Oh! it’s hot. I believe my purple paint will melt, and if Oscar would only raise my top ! Monday, July 3rd, 1916.—Oscar collected a bunch of women today and started down the avenue. Mrs. Dayton said: “Bridge at Smithe’s, Oscar.” What on earth? Bridge!! I trembled. Could it be they were going to ditch me!! Imagine my relief! It was only a game of cards. Thursday. July 27th. 1916.—We’re in New York. Some town. Ran out of gas today and had a blow-out. Monday, July 31st, 1916.—Monday’s wash day and I got a good scrubbing Pii e Seventy-four Wish Mrs. Dayton would keep her trim, little French heels on the running board and not step on my purple side. Sunday. August 20th. 1916.—Back in California and it seems good. Wonder if the weather is always the same here. Monday. August 28th, 1916.—Yesterday we drove to Hollywood and watched Mary Pickford and some of those other “movie” actors and actresses. Tuesday. August 31st, 1916.—Stayed in since a week ago yesterday. I feel dull. We’re going to New York in October for the winter. Sunday. September 10th, 1916.—Oh my poor fender. Oscar decided to go to Los Angeles and he went so fast around a corner that my wheel turned. I dashed into a lemon tree and bent by fender. Am in for repair now. Monday. October 30th, 1916.—In New York. What a town? I’ll be glad if Oscar puts me in the garage for the winter. I’ve never seen snow. Thursday. November 21st, 1916.—Have seen all the snow I want to. Oscar and his wife leave for Michigan tomorrow and I’m in a big garage with a million other cars. Guess I can’t keep a diary much longer. Monday, December 25th, 1916.—Garage man tied a green and red prickly wreath on my radiator today. Wonder how I look? Monday, January 1st, 1917.—I’ve enjoyed being with you and writing and no v something is going over my top. I’m all covered up w'ith a paper cover and so cannot write another diary until Spring. Good-bye. YIOLETTE NEWBROUGH, T8. Page Seventy-five Thoughts to Take With Us If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.—Franklin. A lost temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.—Irving. Let a man behave in his own house as a guest.—Emerson. When you pack your trunk, don’t pack your worries; you can get them at any station as you go along.—Mrs. Whitney. Tomorrow is the day on which idle men and fools reform.— Phillips Brooks. If a man were so constituted that he could pat himself on the back gracefully or kick himself effectively, he would spend most of his time doing one or the other.—Leslie de Vaux. When you can’t change a thing, don’t let it change you; an inward disposition is hard on other people.—Kate Langley Bosher. Courtesy is the eye which overlooks your friend’s broken gateway—but sees the rose which blossoms in his garden. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be; now put foundations under them. If people would whistle more and argue less, the world would be much happier and probably just as wise. Education is a better safeguard to liberty than a standing army.—Edward Everett. Politeness is like an air cushion; there may me nothing in it, but it eases the jolts wonderfully.—Henry Ward Beecher. Education will broaden a narrow mind, but there’s no known cure for a big head. A man with little learning is like the frog who thinks its puddle a great sea. Every prudent man is like a pin—his head keeps him from going too far.—Samuel Johnson. If you know you are right, you can afford to keep your temper; if you are wrong, you can’t afford to lose it. Freshmen rush in where Seniors fear to tread. Optimism is the yeast of business—it raises the dough! Some people have to be cranked every day—others are selfstarters.
