W e stand and look o’er the garden wall, out into the world beyond. Then we turn with a sigh of both sadness and joy and look back upon all that's behind—the flowers that stand for the work that we've done, for officers, advisers, and fun, the parties and picnics, the friends that we've had—it really does not seem so long. And now under Roy Jacobus's lead we have come to the gate that leads out, for the noise of the world we must hear for ourselves, to know what it all is about. Our first President flower is ’way over there, with the mignonette all around about it. Twas Kendall Sagendorf who with manner so bold, led that class that knew “quite all about it. We did not believe then, as we've learned to do now, it was true that the Seniors were better. But 'twas just a short time till we came to comply with that unwritten law to the letter. And now we laugh at our erroneous view. How could we have had such ideas: For Seniors, of course, are the lords of the earth. How can Freshies be, then, but beneath us: That daffodil there on the west of the path, in the midst of celosia and cockscomb, is Estelle Bannen's flower for the Soph. Presidency when she used with great wisdom, her power. Those love-in-a-mists on the right of the path, around Eleanor Yinger’s bright flower—no doubt you all know for what year they stand, nodding blissfully through rain or shine. Now look down the path and a bit to the left till you see the lilies of the valley and there just beyond you will see various flowers that stand for our banquets and parties. A bright group they make, and remind us of times when our cupfuls of pleasure o’erflowed. And a bright patch they make by the side of what years have proved a most, tedious road. Our teachers have helped us to plant the right flowers in our garden of School-Life now dying—but some of these flowers will grow on through the years, and we'll see them and know ’twas worth trying. The sun, going down, casts a glow on these flowers in this garden more precious than ever, and the picture it paints on our memories now, will fade away never, no never.

As I walk down these ancient streets, I see very few of the class of ’26. I’ve heard of many of them rising to sudden fame. That class did have quite a few extra bright scholars in it. So you’re teaching Physical Training. You’re so small that it seems to me you would wear yourself out in one day. Frieda Nickerson is also teaching, but she’s teaching the kindergarten. She always was such a hand with the children! And Inez Huntley has bought out Rhoton’s five and dime store, and she and her husband. Hector, are very wealthy now. Oh, yes, Roy Jacobus and Helen Byrne are also happily united and have bought the Fuller home across the marsh. They thought that there they could get away from this bustling, noisy world, but Roy is such a famed athlete that he is interviewed and has his picture taken for some newspaper nearly every day. Chester Jacobus, our handsomest boy, owns a chain of beauty parlors and is giving the world his formula for becoming beautiful. Ruth Mattescn is in Paris as a beauty doctor. She is coming home soon and I suppose the folks around here will flock to her to learn how to become beautiful. She lifts faces, makes wigs, and is an artist with the cosmetics. Dorothy Brown travels all over in order to enter Charleston contests. hile in Hollywood she tried awfully hard to get acquainted with every male star there. I don't know how she succeeded, but she probably has eloped with Ben Furpin by this time. Wacie Goss is the most famous physics teacher ever known; she and Phelma Reynolds have made some wonderful experiments. You’ve seen signs along the road, saying “Buy Cairn’s Gas,” haven’t you? Well, this gas was named after Lyle Cairns. He has a chain of garages scattered all over America. Edith Clark is our lady representative in Congress now and she surely should make a good one. Grace Bovver is a lecturer. She travels all over lecturing on W omen's Suffrage. Albert Blanding runs a dairy farm. I guess his marriage to Chloie Seiber hasn't been very happy so far. Chloie wants to live in the city and she scolds continually about it. Albert has at last given in and purchased a home in the city. Eleanor Yinger is a missionary in India, trying to teach those heathen how to live. Of course you know that Elizabeth Rarden is a singer. She travels extensively with some famous opera company. Lester Nelson was our young boy graduate. His sweet tooth got the better of him and he owns a large candy concern and makes the best chocolates. Edith Eurich and Alice Rowley are stenographers for Sears, Roebuck Co., and Margaret Nelson is private secretary to some wealthy banker. She hated to leave the steady position she had with Mr. page thirty-1 hree Hi-Lilt Averill, but he couldnt afford to pay her what she asked, and she couldn't live on what she was getting. Julius Becker is now in the Senate of the United States and is known the world over. Orval Sampson is pianist in a large jazz orchestra playing in New York. Mrs. Lilia Howe is still the delightful little housewife that she was when she was a Senior. Arthur Peterson is one of the body guards of the President of the I nited States, who you know is Marion Sagendorf. Irene Christiansen has made much money in some way and has bought a little car; now she goes out in the country and punctures her tires on purpose, just to see how many nice, good-looking young men will come along and help her fix them. Doris Kingsbury is a general leader of hpworth Leagues in many different states. Josephine Potter is the governess of the children of a wealthy family, in Florida, hloise Wolfer is a member of a famous dee Club that travels. Virginia Nelson and Forrest lerry, the football star, are together continually, but I haven't heard of anything serious yet. Edward Bopp has a position making cars for young people out oi tin cans. Some parents won’t let their children have a nice car to rough it in, so they get one of Eddie’s cans and that solves the problem (while it holds together). Helene Ahern has donned a black wig and has made her debut as a vamp. Cecil Allchin and Elizabeth Wells are famous dress designers. They own a large store in New Y ork and their styles are going far ahead of the Parisian styles now. Herbert Miller has gone through seven or eight colleges just to get on the football teams. Dick Grow is athletic coach in some eastern college. Ethelyn Livingston is a writer now. She is the best known and most popular novelist of the present day. John Root is a director of plays, especially minstrel shows. He is sent out by the John B. Rogers Co. I haven’t seen or heard of Emily Brander or Be mice Beatty since graduation. I think they’ are traveling. Dick Lvst has a farm outside of Greenville. He has a housekeeper but he never married. He liked too many girls and never could decide. 1 think irginia Bowman is doing a stenographer’s work in Chicago. Harold Ingersoll is managing the County Farm. He used to hate it so, but now he couldn’t bear to leave. Myrtle Bidstrup is attending dances in Greenville and vicinity. I don’t know what else she does. Carolyn Coady is teaching History in some school in Detroit. I never thought she’d be a teacher. The A and P business has become so large here that Anna Christensen has a car of her own and helps her brother deliver groceries. She was always so funny in history class. She never could read her own writing. Marvin Jorgensen has become as famous a debater as Abraham Lincoln. Alice Deal left last week for Hollywood to get a position as one of Mack Sennet's Bathing Beauties. Helen Gravelle gets a position in one town until she gets bored with the town and the fellows in it and then leaves for another town. Ivah Hansen has become a Potter now. You know what I mean. I don’t know what Ethel Johnson is doing. But I guess she and Dorothy Swartz just come to see the sights of Greenville on Saturday night. Blanche Leak is teaching school in the country. She has the best behaved bunch of pupils I ever saw. But one look from her has the same effect on a pupil as a look from Miss Ford had upon us. Madeline ftagt' thirty-four Ili-Life Longpre is creating a sensation as being the brightest person this side of Mars. Carl Steffensen is the living skeleton in a sideshow with Ringling Brothers Circus. Audrey Mills wears mannish clothes and goes about lecturing on “Woman’s Rights.” She surely says what she thinks, too. Olivia Rasmussen just stays around here to attend the dances at Turk. La Yinna Royston has left here to explore parts unknown. She hopes to become another Columbus. Lucy Weeks is known all over for her part in athletics. She wins all honors in track, basketball, swimming and diving. Lilah Douglas is attending an eastern school and is still as studious and quiet as ever. Allison Svendsen and a tall partner have gone into the movies and are making comedies of Mutt and Jeff. Allison, of course, being Jeff. Don Taylor is an artist. He paints scenes for stages and the like. Milo Slawson is one of these medicine men who go around selling patent medicines, as snake oil for rheumatism, etc. Zelma Sebald is a nurse-maid. She takes care of the children of famous people. Anna Sayles is clerking in Grand Rapids. She has great ability but she’s so shy that no one can realize it. Eleanor Wilson is still around here and is the same quiet, pleasant Eleanor. Russell Wilson has taken up boxing and everyone he meets he knocks down to see if he is still in good condition. And as for me, of course, you know I’m the wild woman in the circus. I started the business in mv Sophomore davs and have been in it ever since. Well, don’t tire yourself out reading this. So long, The Same Old Frances. —Frances Finch. page thirty-five Class Chart NAME CHARACTERISTIC ALW AYS SEEN WITH ABOUT TO (BECOME) MOST CHERISHED POSSESSION ALWAYS FOUNI) Cecil Allchin Modesty “Nellie” I lair Dresser 1 lair In Fenwick I Iclenc Ahern Vanity “Bertha” Mannikin Smile At Silvers 1 lelcn Byrne Eagerness “Roy” An Alumnus Roy • Getting notes Myrtle Bidstrup Talkativeness “Self” Not Discovered 1 ler Comb W hispering Emily Brander Quietness “Bernice” “Stenog” Shorthand Book In Scat 318 Julius Becker Good Naturedness A different girl President of U.

Linder the cold gaze of the dignified seniors, however, we lost some of our pride. To help us during our first year we chose Bill Browne for our president. The big events of that year were the annual party, and later a picnic with the Sophomores, as well as the athletic banquet. After semester exams we did not feel so well, but we gained our strength during summer vacation and returned to school feeling better than ever. To keep us out of the dangers and difficulties which always arise with Sophomores, we chose Carolyn Carlsen for our class president. We all attended the party and the picnic that year with the Freshmen, and had a good time. The annual athletic banquet in the gym was as big a success as ever. This year as Juniors we chose Larry Brown for our president. Our annual party was held in the gym with the Seniors. Not long after this we received our rings, which we are very proud of. Although we have done a great deal, if you want to see what we can do, just wait until next year, when we are Seniors, and we will show you!

TV(g)(i IfiSp ?- '• jortx-t hrsc Hi-Lifc The Outlaws F COl RSK you've all heard of the Outlaw basketball team. Well, if you haven't, I'll tell you about it. It was organized at the beginning of basketball season last winter to play a preliminary game against the high school reserves. The Outlaws fought a hard battle and were victorious over the reserves. Then the basketball league was organized. As the Outlaws were all Seniors they immediately entered the league representing the Senior Class. They fought their way successfully to the top of the league, losing only, one game. This was lost to the Juniors by one point. One other game was lost out of the twelve games played. This was lost by a 4-11 score against the Junior team in the tournament. But this is not so bad when one considers that the Junior teams were composed of five b. b. letter men. Altogether the Outlaws won ten out of twelve antes. The lineup was composed of Forrest Ferry and Herbert Miller at forward, “Shang” Ingersoll at center, and “Rut” Wilson and Captain Jacobus at guards. Out of these five, Miller was the ace. Ferry was as good at crashing through as he used to be on the gridiron last fall. “Shang” played the floor very well. “Rut went better at guard than at center. He had a good eye for the basket, too. Captain Jacobus was the one that did the fouling. He was put out of nearly all the games on personal fouls. Well, that's that. Now think it over, boys, and see if you wouldn't like to be an Outlaw when you get to be a Senior.

S„ and most of them have not yet found their way out again. They were quite bewildered at first, and stood around in little groups, trying to look as if they were used to it. Soon, they were told what to do, and things seemed better. All of them had a good time at the Freshman-Sophomore party in the fall, and ended the year with a great frolic at the Freshman-Sophomore picnic at Baldwin Lake. They came back this fall feeling very “big'’ as Sophomores, and looked down cn the Freshies with contempt. They prepared to work as well as have a good time, and found their preparations were not in vain. All enjoyed the Freshman-Sophomore party, and are looking forward to a picnic in June.

H. s., 13 88 ©lc peg filly-right Iti-Lije Season's Reflections C() CII DEWEY faced a difficult problem when he issued a call for football men. Over thirty aspiring huskies responded, five of whom were letter men. All of these went into practice with a spirit never before seen on the high school Gridiron. No exceptional players were noticeable, each man was as good as another, so a great battle for positions resulted. Soon results began to show; a fast team with a fairly heavy line, and a light but speedy backfteld, well drilled in fundamentals, was placed on the field. One thing G. 11. S. has to be proud of is the record the football men made for themselves when not one man was declared ineligible during the season. We believe it is the first time in vcars that such a record has been made. The season started early with a victory over Edmore. Then injuries and illness had their innings ,and G. H. S. dropped through successive games. Next Greenville was able to tie Lowell, and then she staged a great comeback by defeating Big Rapids, familiarly known as “champs of Northern Michigan. This was followed by a tie game with Rockford and two more victories. Much praise is due Coach Dewey when one considers that six new men had to be drilled on fundamentals and made first string men in less than three weeks before the first game. Considering these facts and the season's outcome, one can easily deem the G. 11. S. football season a very good success. “Larry” Brown, guard and strong defensive player had been elected captain of next year’s squad, and a good squad should be easy to produce when one notes that nearly a dozen letter men will be back next fall. Let’s all give “Larry” and the “gang” a lift towards the old goal next fall. —Harold Ingersoli.. pas ' fifts-niits f t f 9 f f 1 f ?

This is shown by their victor) over Grand Rapids I nion, the second game of the schedule. Then two of the team s mainstays were lost through ineligibility, and Coach Dewey was compelled to find a new combination. No sooner had Dewey acquired a new team than an epidemic of mumps and measles deprived him of more good men, but with the advent of “Skinny’’ Nelson, who entered high school in February, the team again gained new hopes and finished the season admirably’, considering the adverse conditions under which © thev worked. Only two letter men arc lost—Bopp and Taylor-—so next year should be a banner year for G. H. S. so far as basketball is concerned. In a schedule of fifteen games, G. H. S. won five and lost ten, and have a percentage of .333. —D. Taylor, '26. !)© page sixty-thrre Hi-L i r, The Class BB League O A T the beginning of basketball season last winter. Coach I)ewe called together all the boys of his school who were not out for basketball. He organized a basketball league composed of teams from each class. 11c appointed a captain from each class to organize their respective teams. The Student Council purchased a silver loving-cup to be presented to the team having •the highest percentage of victories at the end of the season. The class numerals of the team were to be engraved upon it. Six teams were organized, and ready for the opening programs: two Freshmen, two Sophomores, one Junior and one Senior. 1 he games were played at noons and Fridays after school. Coach Dewey officiated. Flic Spirit was line and competition keen throughout. Out of the ten games played by them, the Seniors (Outlaws) lost one. Therefore, according to the rules of the league the Seniors received the cup. 1 his league proved to be a great success. A great deal of interest was aroused by it- Manx boys were given a chance to enter into the sport who otherwise would not have had the chance. I think that a great deal of thanks is due Coach Dcwev for his interest in it.

At six-thirty everyone was called to the dining room where “Katsy” told them “to go to it and find their own places.” Katsy had some very clever place cards with a little phrase characteristic of the person. Tony Olivero presented the girls and coach with two boxes of chocolate bars for the team’s good work and success this season. During the evening every member was called upon to furnish some entertainment, to which they all responded eagerly. There was also dancing, cardplaying, and many funny stunts.

Where are the hearts of men who would destroy it, and make it over into a modern artificial lake; It is a clean, non-malaria breeding place, spring-fed, and contains man) rare specimens of plants not so often to be found in many other marshes. To me it is almost human. A friend indeed, one who never quits you, one to whom you may confide and your confidence will not be betrayed, a place to wander in and forget. When I am tired and want to be alone, I slip away for a few precious hours, to wander over the hills and around this marsh. The very air is full of music swelling forth from a thousand tiny throats of songsters. The air is cool and refreshing, heavily scented with the perfumes of many flowers. The moist, cool ground covered with its luxurious green grass seems more wonderful to me than the best carpets ever woven. To one who understands or wishes to understand, it is a wonderful place that tells strange tales and reveals wonders untold. The changing of the bare trees to full foliage, the bursting forth of the flowers, the return of the birds, the long lazy days of summer emphasized by the drone of bees busy gathering the honey of the flowers! The frosts in the fall, which turns the old marsh into many wonderful and beautiful colors magically over night! The tiny animals who scamper to their homes at the approach of a stranger! Some animal's home thought to be safely hidden! Every tree and bush tells a story. Here some boys have carved their names on a tree, some thoughtless person has torn up the roots of the flowers, carrying them away to plant and let them die in some foreign soil. It is a place of peace and rest. It makes you forget the heat and hurry of the city. Oh, why can't men be made to understand that such a beautiful and sacred place should never be destroyed ! I one Dietrich. An Imaginary Trip E STARTED out from Greenville on a trip to Florida in November. We took only the things that were necessary for making camp, and just what clothes we needed on the trip. We took, in place of a tent, a canvas which we put over, the car at night. W e used the car as a bed and bedroom. We cooked all of our meals out in the open, buying what things we needed when we came to the towns. In Tennessee we crossed the ranges of the Cumberland Mountains. These mountains, although they are not as treacherous as some, are very picturesque. In one instance the road which we followed wound around the mountain like a corkscrew. Here we came to a shallow cave in the mountains. A small stream of water was flowing over a little ledge of the rock which projected. This formed a natural fountain which was very pretty. The rocks around this were all moss-covered. W hen we came to the summit of the mountain we seemed to be looking off into space. We stopped the car and got out to view the beautiful scene. It was like looking down into a toy country. The houses looked like doll houses, vehicles resembled toys moving about, and the road upon which we afterwards traveled, looked like a ribbon drawn across the landscape. We •)© «£'' sixty-right ------ nhidLL.tn could see mountains in the distance which we came to afterwards. It seemed only a few seconds before we had made the hairpin turn and were driving along the road which I have described as a ribbon. It was a beautiful sight. The sun was setting and lit up the little valley with a golden and crimson light. e camped at the foot of the mountains on the other side of the valley. I pon looking back at the mountains that we had previously crossed, we noticed that they had a veil of blue haze or mist hanging before them. hen night came the valley seemed to be a separate world from all of its surroundings, and the bleak mountains resembled large monsters hovering about the peaceful, starlit valley. These thoughts hurried me to bed before the darkness closed in upon the paradise valley. The next morning we got our breakfast, broke camp, and were again on our way. Before coming into the next town we had to take a ferry. I his was a new experience for us, and we were a little dubious as to the outcome of it. We waited for our turn and drove down a steep hill on to the ferry. Ours was the only car, and everyone looked at us curiously. They were probably thinking that we were foolish to make such a trip with a car. 'I'he ferry was lun by a funny little old man who was very inquisitive as to our trip. W e asked him how far it was to Chattanooga and he said, “It’s a good bit of a right smart while ’—the native way of expressing the distance. W e reached the other side safely, but nearly tipped over when we drove off from the ferry. W e didn’t stop along the way that day as we hoped to reach Chattanooga before dark. W e expected to see many interesting sights the next day because Chattanooga is both beautiful and his- v� . toric. Helen Miller. A Hike In Winter AST year Lucy and I dressed for hiking, and started with skis and food for some unknown destination. Snow had fallen the night before and as we walked along on the west road, we were impressed by the trees, so beautiful with their burden of snow bending them nearly to the ground. Looking across the fields of white, patches of woodland were seen dotting the landscape like tiny streaks of black; the hills met the sky in a hazy mist of blue, while the road on which we were traveling was an endless ribbon of brown. For miles beyond, the earth was a beautiful picture of black and white, and the occasional house with its chimney sending up curling smoke, only added to the one great scene of pictorial charm. Cutting across fields, rabbits, frightened from their homes, would dash across our path and into the undergrowth nearby. On one of our excursions across a field, a dog ran after us, and proceeded to follow, running with us. When we stopped to fix our ski-strap, or take a few more trips down some hill, he would run ahead and bark, as if to tell us to hurry. As four o’clock drew near and snow began to fall gently, we drew near town; the lights of it cast their beams on the snow-covered ground and transformed it into a sparkling patch of diamonds. The whole spirit of the evening was represented by the snow falling lazily on a dreamy and seemingly unreal world of white. When our homes were reached, we both agreed such a delightful day with all the beautiful pictures would stay with us forever. C. Carlsen. pass fixty-nint i - L i i r An Automobile Trip —to Culver in the Spring 1AM going to describe an automobile trip to Culver, Indiana. As you leave Greenville and get out into the country you begin to see the houses less close together, and the road is narrower; you view the fields of newly-arrived corn and grain. The trees have just exchanged their tiny, green buds for small, yellowish green leaves. The cool morning air is striking your face and making you feel alive and a comrade with nature! As you pass on down the road through small villages and on to the pavement which leads to the furniture metropolis of the world, which is Grand Rapids, you pass on by the tall old buildings and narrow, winding streets. One is here impressed by the hurry-scurry and hustling and bustling of the people. Hut finally you pass on out through the suburbs of “the furniture city” and resume your way through the beautiful country towards the old Dutch city of Holland. Holland is only a short distance from Lake Michigan, where even in the hottest part of the day, you may feel the breeze from the lake. Here you are impressed by the high, castle-like sand dunes rising in weird and fantastic forms which the wind is constantly changing. As you near Holland, you are surprised by something which you do not usually think of as scenery. This is billboards. The billboards are all well constructed and are set far back from the road and generallv with a background of some woods or forest, and almost invariably the sign will contain somewhere on it the word “Van,” that is a common prefix in the Dutch language. A short distance beyond Holland is the beautiful summer resort of Sauga-tuck. Here is where many of the rich people from Chicago have their summer homes. Here also may be seen the best in landscape gardening and nature’s own handiwork. At Sauga-tuck you may stand on the beach, which is of the purest white sand, and look out to the horizon where the lake and sky seem to meet. Nothing is more impressive than to see a big white steamer, with black smoke rolling out o! her stacks, come peeping cautious!} through the mist which seems to hide it like a great curtain hung from the sky. From Saugatuck you journey down the lake shore through more small villages until you come to the twin cities of St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. In Benton Harbor is “The House of David,” a religious colony which for the last few years has had quite x lot of publicity because of the scandal connected with it. We now journey inland again to the city of Niles, which is right near the boundary line between Michigan and Indiana. This is a queer little town with very few trees; the town is built right out in a plain with very dusty, dirty streets. You now cross the boundary line into Indiana and exactly on the line is a little yellow and white house where automobile and hunting licenses may be obtained for either state. A few miles within Indiana you come to the wonderful little industrial city of South Bend. Here is Notre Dame University and many automobile factories and numerous foundries. One is greatly pleased here by the beautiful houses of which a great majority are brick and with color-blend roofs, which give a very pleasing aspect to the whole city. At South Bend also you begin to notice quite a change in the temperature; it is much warmer. However, it is not so beautiful in Indiana and the roads are not so good. The}' are old, worn out tarvia and pavement. page seventy We are now almost at our journey's end. Our next stop is at Plymouth, where there is a very quaint little hotel of Colonial design where you may spend the night if you wish, and journey to Culver in the morning. Here, if you start early enough, you may see the cannon which wakes the cadets, and see the boys marching to mess through those stately old grounds where nature’s beauty is abundant on all sides. The grand, stately, old buildings and lawns, trees, and all attractions please the eye. You will feel well repaid for your eight-hour journey in the automobile. tHOMA8 Metzgar. The Counterfeiters The telephone buzzed sharply; Chief of Police John Winslow wheeled around in his chair to answer it. “Hello.” “Where:” “Two miles on the north road, and due south of the large rock four miles. “Who is this calling:” “Hello, hello!” “Something funny in this, Bob,” he said, turning to his companion. “Someone just called up and said there was trouble going on out on the north road; guess 1 11 have to send a man out there.” “Let me go, chief,” exclaimed Bob, one of the youngest detectives of New York. “All right, I’ll call someone to go with you.” “Never mind that,” returned Bob, half way out the door, “it’s probably someone trying to scare you.” “He’s some smart kid, only been on the force a year and yet I'd trust him farther than old Charley, who has been here ten years; wonder what it can be; hope he doesn't get into any trouble,” thought the chief. Meanwhile Bob was whirling along in his little racer. A five-minute drive and he was at the corner by the big rock; another ten minutes and he was four miles south of it. The last half mile he had walked. “Might as well,” he said to himself, “and be on the safe side of it if there is anvthing to this. More likely some kid’s work!” “Whew, what’s that:” he exclaimed from the shelter of a large stump where he had thrown himself. “I'm sure I saw something! Guess I’ll follow it up.” Creeping cautiously from his place he was soon at the spot where he had seen it, but there was no trace of the object. Bob walked forward boldly. “I wonder what that was!” he said to himself, looking at what seemed to be a huge rock about two rods from him. “It looks as if it had an opening in it; it may be a cave. I'll look and see.” With h is hand on the trusty revolver in his pocket, Bob crept softly forward and entered the opening. At first he could see nothing, but as his eyes grew accustomed to the darkness he could distinguish steps which descended sharply at his right from which a whirring sound came. Grasping the revolver tightly, he descended these. A straight earth wall arose perpendicularly at his side and below him the stairs seemed to be dissolved by the inky black void. He was now entirely in the dark when suddenly the steps seemed to go out from under him. A shooting pain in his head,—and then a blank! When he came to, he was lying at the very edge of what looked to be a deep well with his hands tied. A lighted room was ahead of him in which he could see two men working with a huge machine which came down at regular intervals on a small steel block. “Whew!” exclaimed Bob. “I've sure found that gang of counterfeiters!” v past stventx-ont U3T ---------- Hi-Life He did not have much time for thought before the whirring sound stopped and the two men approached him. “For the love of Mike, it’s Dwitchy, himself, 'King of Counterfeiters V' thought Bob, who saved his slang for excitement. Dwitchy and his companion had now reached him and Dwitchy began to speak: “Gcxxi, I thought you'd come to! Pretty good scheme, eh: I knew it would work and you'd bite. Can't catch me sleeping when I have a good chance.” “ ell, what are you going to do with me?” asked Bob coolly, for he knew that if he showed fear that he would suffer the punishment sooner. “Look where you are, and you'll soon know,” responded Dwitchy. Bob looked down into the well. He knew now that he would pay with his life. Stebbins, who was Dwitchy’s companion, stepped foiward. Jerking Bob to his feet, he began to untie him. “You'll soon see what’s coming to you, he growled. “You’ve been too busy hunting up those bills to suit me, he continued. “My Lord,” he exclaimed as he saw the earth around the well cave and Bob's form drop in, “now we've done it, and sure will have the police after us.” He turned to Dwitchy but at the look of fiendish delight on his face refrained from any further talking. “I guess that will fix him,” growled Dwitchy, turning around. Before Bob could catch his breath, he landed with a hard jolt on a pile of earth. “Gee,” he said to himself after the first shock was over, “I thought this was a real well; I wonder if they know the difference.” Near him was a dark aperture. “Guess I'll crawl into that so they can't have the pleasure of dropping anything on me.” Bob crawled through the opening and advanced on his hands and knees for about two yards; he could see a faint light ahead of him. Wondering what it could be, he went on more cautiously. The tunnel seemed to end and he came into a large room with light coming through a passage on the other side. Bob straightened up and drew back sharply as something flew past his face. Then he laughed. “I must be getting creepy to be afraid of a bat.” He looked around the room; in one corner was an old stand with a broken pitcher; on the floor was an old carpet which had a pile of dirt on one edge. He looked up the wall beside it and could see in the semi-darkness a hole from which the earth seemed to have come. Bob was across the room in two jumps and cautiously inserted his hands in the opening. He drew out a rusty tin box. W ith some excitement he pried off the lid with an old knife which he took from his pocket. Inside were some yellow-looking papers which he took out. Bob gasped at what he had uncovered, for before him lay enough jewels for a king. “Guess I'll read these papers and see what it's about,” Bob said after his astonishment had lessened. The top paper was dated 1880 and read as follows: “To whomever may find this: I am an old man and descendant of Jay Hawk, Indian chief, who obtained these jewels in payment for some hides which he sold to a group of natives of the Amazon River region who did not know their value. These jewels have been handed down many generations. 1, being the last in descendants, give these jewels to whosoever may find them, providing he or she will not sell them, but leave them to his descendants.—Jay Hawk.” Another paper was a kind of diary which showed that Jay Hawk was a self-educated hermit, and no cne having treated him kindly, he had taken these means of saving his jewels from the hands of his unfriendly neighbors. “Guess I'd better go and turn these fKYMly-ttro i-Li ft over to the Chief; hope Dwitchy hasn’t taken my car,” said Bob, starting for the opening. He crawled through some bushes and out the passage at the other side of the room. He had not gone far when, looking around, he was not able to see the opening; then he knew why the counterfeiters had not found it. Bob's car was still where he had left it, and in a few minutes he was at the Chiefs office giving a brief outline of his experiences, and handing over the box of jewels. It was not long before, with a few men, lie approached the cave; but this time he was prepared for the stairs, and crouching outside the open door at My B OF ALL the things that fascinate me, water is the foremost. Perhaps this is due to the time which has been afforded me to live near it, and in it, but stijj it may be the awe with which I hold that mighty basin of water, the ocean. As water must take its course, from childhood I have been taught never to shirk using water frequently, as an application of it at intervals greatly heightens the personal beauty; this perhaps may be the main reason for my fondness. It is evident that water is held in high esteem by our family. My brother, therefore, chcse his life-road with the sea, as a sailor, thus creating a deeper respect in my “water-worshipping” nature. As has been said, he is a sailor, not like the sturdy buccaneers you have read about, but nevertheless a sailor, traveling from port to port and drinking in the experiences with eagerness and vim. Often the picture of a mammoth battleship comes to me (and though I have never seen one), I can picture no ship complete without C----- acting as helms- man and officer. Letters from various ports, little trinkets, souvenirs, and curiosities, all the bottom. Bob could again see Dwitchy and Stebbins, who were still operating the machine. At his signal, the men entered, and as Dwitchy and Stebbins weren’t prepared, they were taken quietly. When they heard at the station of Bob’s luck, their anger knew no bounds. They had always thought the opening to be a well and had never investigated. The other members of the gang were captured when they came to the cave. To Bob came the great honor of capturing the worst band of criminals in New York, together with the jewels his wife now wears. Beatrice Arntz. other of which seem to tell some mysterious adventure cn his part, add to the aweinspiring life. As I can remember C-----, he was much adapted to teasing little girls, but shying from the grownup ones, and cutting all sorts of capers really not fit for a boy of fifteen. It seems impossible that these interesting letters come from my brother, who seemed to be very insignificant, especially when in my company. Mother was always letting him do the things he wished to do, while I should everlastingly go to bed. Everything seemed to go the way he wanted, while I sat back and obeyed orders. Life was dreary then, but now, I too, am at the age when I may “boss” a little, and C--- no longer seems the meddlesome young brother, but an honest-to-goedness man brother, with the power to make a certain girl think lots more of him than ever before. All my childish thoughts vanish, and it is with a feeling of ownership that I watch the United States fleet maneuver through the “News Reels” at the theater. A new ambition appears,—to back the navy—the United States, and —my brother to the very limit. C.

A delicious dinner was served at 6:30, and the remainder of the evening was spent in playing cards and listening in on the radio. About 11 o'clock the party broke up, and everyone present voted the Brownes three cheers for so remembering the team. I). Taylor, ’26. THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE PARTY The annual Freshman-Sophomore party was held Friday, December 11. in the gymnasium, which was prettily decorated in Christmas colors. The fun began with the grand march, led by Miss Petersen and Mr. Whittemc re. Everybody had a good laugh at the playlet, “ Ye Have No Trains Today, given under the direction of Miss Ketchum. After the evening was spent in dancing and playing games, delicious refreshments were served by the refreshment committee. All went home feeling very gay over the enjoyable evening. Alice Vaughan, '28. JUNIOR AM) SENIOR PARTY On November 20, 1925, the Juniors and Seniors assembled in the gym for their annual party. This year it was the snappiest party ever—not a dull moment for anyone. The decorations were purple and gold draped overhead in a canopy effect. At one side of the gym were tables and chairs for those who wished to play cards and other games, while a five-piece orchestra furnished music for the dancers. During intermission the most important event occurred—refreshments of punch and cookies. At this time funny caps were given to everyone. These gave the crowd a frolicsome appearance. At 12:00 o'clock all went home, agreeing that this year's party had been the best ever. YOST BANQUET On March 16, Coach Yost of Michigan and three other men, of whom Paul Gobal was one, were in Greenville, on which occasion “Hurry Up Yost was the most prominent speaker of the evening. At 7:00 a most commendable banquet was served to many of the men and boys of the county,—the “letter” men of the different schools being the honored guests. The banquet hall was decorated most appropriately with the Maize and Blue, the famous Michigan colors. After the banquet was served, the ladies' quartet of the Congregational Church sang several Michigan songs. The next feature was the most spectacular; the boys from the different schools in the county gave their school yell, directly after which Coach Yost was introduced. Mr. Yost gave a most helpful and instructing talk, the topic being “The Making of a Man.” He brought out most forcibly the fact that we young people must work for what we get, and that our harvest will be in proportion to the work and determination we put into the thing which we start out to do. Always he used his football squad as an example of this. At the close of the talk “Bud” Ran-ney led the people in a big Michigan Locomotive. Ruth Matte sox, '26. FRIDAY NIGHT DANCES The Friday night dancing parties, although few in number, were a great success this year.
