If it integrates community spirit; creates love for law, an idea of citizenship; shows the significance of work, culture and the service which should be rendered for the next generation; then, its worth cannot be estimated. The Greenville High School maintains high ideals. It furnishes “that something” which motivates its pupils’ activities and directs their energies upon worth while quests. The Greenville High School has been on the University of Michigan accredited list continuously since 1888. The Greenville High School is on the approved list of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. Due to the above recognition, our graduates can enter higher institutions of learning without special examinations. Finish your high school course. Invite your friends to attend the Greenville High School. A good education pays the best dividends. BOARD OF EDUCATION GREENVILLE, MICHIGAN President Secretary-Treasurer DR. F. A. JOHNSON C. V.

H . S . — 1 9 2 7 History of the Class of'27 LIKEN El) unto a flock of sheep, we entered this good old (1. II. S. in 1923. Closely we kept together as would sheep grazing in a pasture; but ofttimes several appeared with a lost or “where-to-go, what-to-do” look on their faces. Our teachers, whom we may mention as our shepherds, guided us gradually into good pastures of knowledge. Just as a flock of sheep always has its leader we also had ours. William Browne led us successfully through our Freshman year, and, amid the fun and laughter of our upper class men, we moved bravely on. Next we were Sophomores. Here it seemed that the field was much larger and we were each striving to crop all the grass in the meadow. We chose Carolyn Carlsen as our president. She carefully led us to the half-way mark of the long hill which was before us to climb. In our Junior year we were most of the way up the hill, and at that time we could look back and very easily see the position we took when we were Freshmen and Sophomores. We had built a strong and concrete foundation for ourselves in those first two years, and in our Junior year we continued to work in harmony, hoping also to make this year a success. With I-awrence Brown as our president we did prove another year successful. We have now reached the top-most part of the hill. 'This year Eldon Hansen is our capable leader. Soon we will be ready to play a new game in life,—a game far different from that which we had been playing,—a game which will be worth our knowing. This is a game which will be pursued in a similar manner to the one which we have just completed. Perhaps when we have arrived at some destination in the new game we will be standing on yonder hill just across the way from the one upon which we are now standing. But just now memories of the best years of our lives are brought back to us, memories never to be forgotten. So good-bye old Cl. H. S. We have just come to the parting of the ways, and must go Some to the left and some to the right, For the ways of men must sever; And it well may be for a day and a night And it may well be forever; But whether we meet or whether we part, For our ways are past our knowing, A pledge from the heart to each fellow heart On the ways we all are going—Here’s luck! And a cheer for all that waits before us. With a steady swing and an open brow We have tramped the ways together; But we’re clasping at the cross-roads now We must leave our dear old heather; And whether we weep or whether we smile On the mystical road before us—Here’s luck! And a cheer for all that waits before us.” Agnes Petersen ’27 UllllillliUiUNUMili 127 1 H I -1.1 F !•: G. H. S. — 19 2 7 Senior Class Poem We pause upon the threshold of that door that leads youth on,— A golden world before us, and a sapphire sky above,— Our lives, a road before us, lead us through the golden vale, Broadened, bettered and uplifted by the work which we have loved. And so, before we travel on this highway broad and long That leads us on and forward o’er the glorious trail of youth! While we still are all together, ere the parting of the ways, We leave these simple verses, not in idle jest, but truth. We hate to leave the dear old school, and words cannot express That feeling of affection that lies locked within our hearts. But then, we leave for better things and greater things to do. In the great world where each of us must do his little part. The friendships formed are lasting, and, we hope, the knowledge too. We leave our lonesome places for another class to fill. We have gained a bit of learning and our lingering here is done, But when our step is feebled, we’ll remember these days still. Harold Brigham, ’21 wm r281 G. H .

S. —1 92 7 HI-LIFE IT was on a June night just as the last rays of the sun could he seen in the horizon that I took niv last visit to my little mansion. My mansion was a secluded spot in a little grove near our cottage. The night was in utter stillness, nothing hut the chirping of the crickets could he heard. Soon the stillness passed away and I could faintly hear a purring noise far. far away. Gradually it grew louder and louder, hut where did the noise come from? Soon a flash of light could he seen coming toward me. The noise grew louder and the flash of light grew higger. Nearer and nearer it came and soon was directly above me. It was an aeroplane. Something dropped from it into a nearby hush. I watched the aeroplane disappear and then cautiously crept to the hush to see what had dropped. I discovered it was a packet. Hurriedly T opened it and seeing nothing hut newspaper clippings was about to throw it away when my eyes fell on an article in large headlines. “William Browne, noted lawyer, chosen Chief Justice of Supreme Court.” Why should such a packet of clippings he dropped here? If it contained any interesting news, I would he sure to find it so I readily searched for more. A Spanish article stated that: “Miss Helen Miller will lead the pageant at the royal festival at Madrid.” “lone Dietrich is a director in a Girls’ Athletic School.” “Eleanor Middlebrook is doing missionary work in China.” Even marriage licenses were among the clippings. Marjorie Abbey and Louis Hewitt were in the list of marriages. Ernie Becker, honor student at Northwestern for not being either absent or tardy during the time of his attendance there.” “Harold Ingersoll has gone into business as a watchmaker. He has reestablished the past Ingersoll business.” In a little corner of an article I most interestingly read: “Louise Byrne, Virginia Bowman and Marian Stockford win a trip around the world for writing the three best essays on Chinese Civilization.” “Eldon Hansen accepts offer as drummer in Book Cadillac Hotel Orchestra.” “Martha Chambers is stenographer in a department store in Detroit.” William Peck, agent for Firestone Tires.” “Agnes Petersen, famous dress designer at Paris, is home for a vacation.” 'Among the list of names of girls who kindly gave their aid to people in the recent storm in Oregon is Verna Smith's. “Lawrence Brown, professional boxer, wins state championship.” I had looked through about half of the clippings. There probably were more interesting articles and I continued my search until I found this one: “Terence Longpre resigns position as traveling ambassador.” Quickly I read the details and again assumed my search. Another one I found which made me think “experience is the best teacher.” “Harold Nielsen chosen Chief of Police in New York City.” “Mildred Riley is a nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids.” “Carolyn Carlsen, a singer on the stage in London. She expects soon to go to Germany.” 131 | H I - L I K K G . H . S. — 1 9 2 7 “Clifford Peterson is a baker in Kalamazoo.” “Stanley Jorgensen, Everett DeGraw, and Luther Lyndrup operate one of the largest dairy farms in Michigan. I even found pictures in the packet. Only one of the pictures. Under it said: “Dorothy Thompson chosen one of the ‘Michigan Peaches.’” The judge of the Peaches” is considered to be one of the very best judges obtainable— Carleton Fisher. “Ruth Ranney, a New York debutante, has left for an extended hunting trip in South Africa.” In the political topics of the day, I read that “Warner Vaughan” was running for Governor of Illinois. “Vanessa Arntz,” was the first woman speaker of the House of Representatives. “Irene Hubbs, a teacher of Literature, in a Wisconsin High School.” I searched eagerly for more news from my friends whom I had not seen for a very long time. They seemed to be all over the world doing their bit of work. In the theater column I noticed that “Merton Fuller is making a great success in the movies.” “Ruth Jones has accepted a position as court stenographer in Rhode Island.” Arthur Hubbard,” states a clipping from ‘Michigan Farmer,’ is one of the best potato growers in Montcalm County.” “Hazel Deal has returned from where she has been teaching the beauty parlor trade.” “Harold Brigham, Secretary of State, will deliver the commencement address at the I niversity of Michigan for this year’s graduating class.” “Xorman Swartz has signed a contract to construct one of the largest buildings ever built in Greenville. Erma Swartz acts as his Secretary.” “Florence Wright, a model in a large store in Chicago.” “Eddie Bopp owns a garage in Lansing.” “Lucille Thorns is becoming known as a writer of poetry.” “ irginia Nelson is a journalist traveling in different countries and writing articles about her travels.” Lenore Martin, a student in a music conservatory in Los Angeles.” “Elaine alker anti Anna Christensen are both in Pittsburgh where they are assistant teachers of Mr. Whale in the Commercial School.” “ 1 horvald Lyndrup is cashier in the F'irst Savings Bank in Denver, Colorado.” 1 he clippings were becoming scarce and soon I would have them all looked over but there might be news in the remaining articles. Yes, I did find more news: “Imogene Peck was teaching in Mt. Pleasant Normal.” “Arnolda Everett has made a wonderful success as a business woman and is now private secretary to John I). Rockefeller.” All the clippings having been read 1 carefully put them back in the packet and hid it so that when again I should return here I could read of my friends who are scattered in different places over this large universe.

The greatness of the shock was increased by the suddenness with which it came. “Eddie” was born in this city on August fifth of nineteen hundred and seven. He was cheer leader of G. H. S. in nineteen hundred and twenty-five and twenty-six. This was certainly very appropriate for him, as he always had a smile and plenty of cheer. In his Senior class he was Photograph Editor of Hi-Life. “Eddie will be very greatly missed by his large circle of friends and classmates. ’e cannot agree that everything is for the best, but in our dee| sorrow we can prize his memory and earnestly hope that our lives all will be richer because we have known him. 1'he deepest sympathy of the student body is extended to the bereaved Mother and Sisters. tiuuinmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiii [ 36 ) « i.i'MIllilililliiii l!llllllllil::iiiini:.i..ii:;i!r;iii:i!ir;i1i,|iU!ii.i i in [ ££ J lllllllli iiiiiitiiimtiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim i niiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiih iiiiit!i!iiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiihm iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu iiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiifiiiuiiiiiiiui:iiiii!!uiiiiiiiiiiniiti luuuiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiaQiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiJBaai «6I-'S H O JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS President— Mabel Petersen Vice President— Merlin Brown Secretary—Edwin Moore Treasurer—Norman Neilsen Class Colors—Blue and Yellow Class Motto—‘‘Up and Doing” WEARERS OF THE “G” Kathleen Grosvenor, Thomas Metzgar, Beatrice Arntz, Louis Hewitt, Helen Farmer Class Poem W'e are sailing in the boat called high school; Two years ago we left the Freshman pool.

II. S., Greenville, Michigan, broadcasting for the next Annual the history of ’28. Miss Ford, the class advisor, has consented to say a few words. Miss Ford. “How do you do, everybody who is listening in. As class advisor I want to tell you a few interesting things about our Juniors. They entered Greenville High in the fall of 1924, eager, as all Freshmen are, to find out what high school is like. They have proved to be very good “Freshies”. “It is customary for the Freshmen and Sophomores to have a party, also a picnic at the end of the year. Their party was a great success and every one had a very fine time. The evening was spent playing games and dancing. “The picnic was also enjoyed. It was held at Baldwin Lake. After the supper all members of the school were invited to attend the dance given at the pavilion. “They were then transferred to a new division called Sophomores, and were wide awake and alert. “They had their party and picnic together with the Freshmen and reported as good a time as the previous year. This is their foundation and I want to thank them for their co-operation this year.” This is station G. H. S., Greenville, Michigan. The next number presented by the Juniors is a short talk by Mr. L. J. Whale their class advisor. “Good evening, everybody. Miss Ford has told you about the Juniors when they were “Sophs” and “Freshies.” I will tell you about them as Juniors. The Juniors’ motto is “Up and doing.” That suits them to a “T”, because they live up to that standard. The class colors are blue and yellow. They are very pretty but you know the saying “Xice folks must have nice things.” One of the big events of the year was the Junior-Senior party held in the Gym November 20. We did not have any decorations but they seemed to have a good time in spite of that fact. The forepart of the evening was spent at Silver’s Theater where a picture was put on for the benefit of the annual; then everyone came to the gym and spent the remainder of the evening at dancing and games. They are looking forward to a good time at their annual Junior-Senior picnic. I wish the Juniors good luck next year when they will be “Dignified Seniors.” The Juniors have been putting on a program of their class history, Miss Ford and Mr. Whale, their class advisors, being the speakers. They are now signing off, June 20, 1927, and will be on the air again next September under the name of Seniors. Goodbye everybody. Mabel F. Petersen ’28 ■NMMMMHMMHMMBM [ 41 ] EMM MIMMMMMMIIIMMMMi G .

We chose Stewart anderpool to act as President during our Sophomore year. We started the year off with a bunco party at which everyone reported a good time. Although we feel that the new “Freshies” are not quite our equal, we all had an exciting time at our party with them in January.

Time—Beginning of Semester. It is a beautiful autumn day. The windows are up and a cool breeze comes in to brush the (lushed cheek of a Freshman who realizes that he is starting a big adventure—his high school career. The bell rings. “Pass to Classes,” through the room in a masterful tone. “Classes? what classes? Room—where? What teacher?” and suddenly the world becomes a big question mark to the poor little Freshman. PART IT The Freshman is at last settled and everything is going smoothly. He has memorized his room numbers and can find his way about without a map and a score of questions. All eyes have become accustomed to his queer actions and his complexion has become a normal llesh color once more. PART III Scene—Assembly Room. Time—7:30 Thursday, January 27, 1927. Again the assembly is the scene, but we would hardly recognize it. The desks arc gone and Greenville High School colors float down from the ceiling. Each Freshman appears, bashful as usual, but clad in his gala clothes. Until eleven o’clock the assembly echoes with the shouts of the Merry-Makers. while the Freshmen and Sophomores forget, for once, their rivalry. PART IV Again the assembly is the scene but now it has become a vestibule prison. There are teachers patroling the aisles, with the cold looks of the executioners who glory in torturing their victims. There are stacks of papers, ink—blue, blue ink, in harmony with each freshman’s mood. There are questions over which Sophocles, himself, would have pondered. How the Freshmen have crammed! Now all is a conglomeration of Latin. English and Algebra. We ponder, we meditate, we search every crevice of our tired brains, and then finally we hand in our papers with the wonderful feeling that it all went well and that we are at last Sophomores.

The old government stood mostly as a head to the school body for settling things. The new government was formed principally to give the pupils a chance to rule themselves. That they might learn the government as it is in the City, State, and Nation. Four students of the Council and Principal Holden took a trip to Holland to investigate their government system, for they are said to have the best student government in the State. Many suggestions were offered by our Holland friends and the group returned, very enthusiastic. The next morning the representatives gave the High School a clear idea as to how the self-government system is managed. The council decided to follow closely Holland’s system for the new government. Immediately taking action, they spent day and night drawing up a constitution which was brought up before the high school for ratification. By a vote 90 per cent of the Student body expressed their desire for this new government.

A delegation of members of the high school was sent to Holland to get some ideas of how to conduct a school by student rule. I'pon the return of this delegation reports of what they had seen were given in High School. When a vote was taken to determine whether the student body was in favor of changing the manner of conduction of our high school to one similar to that of Holland, it was carried by a large majority. Immediately work began on the framing of a new constitution and the election of officers. Early in February, there took place an election of officers that had been preceded by a vigorous campaign for the students running for the different offices. The results of the election were as follows: I.awrnce Brown for Mayor, Harold Brigham for Secretary, Marjorie Abbey for Treasurer, Harold Nielsen for Chief of Police. Two aldermen were elected from each ward to represent the student body. Regular meetings are held at 8:00 o’clock every Tuesday and Thursday. All students are invited to attend these meetings to see how they are carried on and what is being done. Any suggestion offered by the students are taken before the council and receive careful attention. The Council assumes to take care of the session rooms thereby giving the teachers who usually have had charge of that work, the chance for conferences. Each pupil in voting for this new government took it upon himself to conduct himself according to the rules and by-laws of the constitution. If any offenses are reported bv the officials, a warrant of arrest is served and the case is tried before the court where sentence is served. This co-operative government has worked well, and the teachers and students predict a successful future. Thru experience we hope to amend the laws as we deem tit. and to make the years to come better by this government of, by, and for the students. “Jeff” Carlsen [ 59 ] H I - L I F K G. H.

Mrs. Mae Scarvell has had a pretty tough time” picking members for the 1927 Girl s Glee Club. She has had to work with inexperienced girls, as a large number of last year's Glee Club members graduated. However, she has finally succeeded in organizing a fairly good Glee Club, in which the girls have worked hard to co-operate with Mrs. Scarvell to make it a success. We have practiced three times a week for about four months and have gladly condescended to entertain when asked. We have appeared twice before the members of the Methodist Church, once before the Congregational Church, before those attending the Junior and Senior Party, before the women of the Rebecca Lodge, and once before the High School. Ihe Glee Club is now practicing on contest numbers which they will sing at Mt Pleasant in May. Mrs. Scarvell says that she can see considerable improvement in our singing Also the girls, themselves, can sec they are making some progress. hope, as girls generally do, that we can regain that old place that we won in 1925 and lost in 1926. Ihe High School also has a Mixed Glee Club which is gradually struggling toward the goal; and, will also enter the contest at Mt. Pleasant. [60 1 G. H .

The boys arc working hard under the direction of Mrs. Scarvell who is tireless in her efforts to place Greenville on the school map of Michigan. The boys have worked hard and have had several public appearances where they have been well applauded and encored. They are looking forward to the District Contest in May. They hope to bring back the honors both from the District and State meet. Each one has a personal interest and is doing his best to make this Glee Club the best ever. “Good luck boys.” Francis F'isher '29 ( 61 ] G . H .

After working hard for several weeks, under the coaching of Miss Lowber, a team composed of Elizabeth McLean, Fern Marsh and Harold Brigham, debated with Belding on the question, “Resolved that the Government Should Own and Control the Coal Mines of the United States.” We took the affirmative and won on the decision of one judge. On November 10. this team journeyed to Carson City to debate on the same side of the question, and lost by a very narrow margin of points by the decision of one judge. This ended the season for the affirmative team. On December 14, Muskegon Heights came here and defeated our negative team, composed of Carleton Fisher, Iva Crawford, and Luther Lyndrup on the same question. The decision was given by the three judges. Carleton Fisher, Iva Crawford and Harold Brigham then went to St. Johns on February 11, and the negative lost once more by the decision of three judges. This made a total of three losses and one victory. There will be some letter debaters back to the team next year and let’s see the student body give them the hand and back them, show the same spirit that put our basketball team in the regional finals at Grand Rapids. If you’ll do that, our debating team will also be bringing in some glory and honor for old Greenville High School. Harold Brigham ’27 [62] G. H .

Our square would not be complete without our Athletic Manager “Shanghi” Ingersoll and Assistant Manager Norman Nielsen.

W ith a few of the facts about the season set down here, you can easily remember what a fine one we had. Out of the nine games played G. H. S. won six. the three games lost were to Class B schools. Of the fifteen lettermen. Captain Brown, W. Browne, E. Becker, Nielsen. I’eck and Lvndrup will be lost to the team next season. This leaves nine letter men who, we know, will carry on the good work next year. Many grand celebrations were had during the season. One of the outstanding ones was after the Big Rapids game. It happened that the game was played on Hallowe’en and also on Coach Dewey’s birthday. So the team not only won a victory for themselves but also gave the coach a “pretty good” birthday present. Well, to get back to the celebration, it was Hallowe’en and they celebrated—enough said. The team also greatly enjoyed a banquet given to both lielding and Greenville after the game on Armistice Day. The banquet was given by the American Legion, Ray I Booth Post No. 101. Among the other celebrations were two fine “feeds” given by Captain Larry and our plucky guard, Frank Stevens. It is needless to say that these were both greatly enjoyed by the fellows. A dinner and theater party were given to the team by Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Ranney for “Morie” Christensen. After the dinner. Tom Metzger was made captain-elect for the 1927 football squad. May they have even greater success than the team of '20. The business having been taken care of, the team journeyed to Grand Rapids where they were taken to the theater. So ended one glorious football season. “Bill” Browne ’27 169 ] lUilllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllUitMIllllllllll'llltllllllllitllllllllllilillllllllllllllllim iiiimiti iimin imiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuriiiiiiriiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiuiii(i !mui(rii4i HI-LIFE onitiKiimnn'.iiniiHiinHHiniiHn G .

S. —1927 HI-LIFE T HK increasing “school spirit of ’27 came to a climax at the time of the basketball tournament at Grand Rapids. Talk was constantly of the basketball games. School was in an uproar and you could just tell that something big was coming oft. People were not disappointed for something big did come off. Greenville High School basketball team was runner-up in the region and was beaten by nothing less than those who turned out to be the champions of Michigan. As you can see from the schedule, the basketball season was a great success. Out of the fourteen games played during the season only three were lost. This gives an average of 785 per cent, which is splendid and a great deal of recognition is due the team. Coach Dewey, and to their line Captain who was chosen as ALL Tournament Guard on the Class B team at the Regional Tournament which was held in Grand Rapids. This recognition shows what a fine captain the basketball team of 1927 was lead by. Our winning from Ionia at Ionia gave us the District championship. This is the second consecutive year that we have won it. This is the first two years that the state has been divided in this way. Keep it up. Dewey started the season with two complete teams, one was made up of Seniors and the other of Sophomores. Up to the end of the first semester these teams stayed together and they had fine success. Five of six games were won. Because of the eight semester ruling, Peck and Browne were forced to drop out. This broke up the two combinations but Coach Dewey soon had the vacancies fixed up and they went along as fine as ever. Becker and “Long John” Xeilsen will be absent from the team next year. We are sure that our competent coach, with the fine material and number of letter men. will be able to start next year very nearly where he left off this year. This ought to mean nothing less than a State championship team. Let's do everything that we can to make it possible. “Bill” Browne ’27 171 | H I - L I F K G. H . S. — 1 9 2 7 SI KVKRAL school tournaments have been held during the year. In all of these the competition was very good and a great deal of enthusiasm was evident. The first was a horse-shoe tournament. The winner in this was Alex Dittel. Our famous “Long John” Nielsen was the runner-up. During the year we had two basket-shooting tournaments. The first was for speed. The players had three minutes in which to see how many baskets they could shoot. “Long John” Nielsen was the winner, and “Pete” Nelson was the runner-up. The second was a tournament for accuracy. Shots were taken from different places on the floor. The different winners were: Fifteen foot circle, Faber and Nelson; twenty-five foot circle, J. Kmmons; thirty foot circle, Martin N. Nelson; Foul shots, I . Nelson and Wysel; Dribbling to basket and shooting, Hewitt, Martin, P. Nelson, 11. Neilsen, Gibson, Gould and Kemp. “Nick” Zank made the greatest number of baskets in all five events combined. The class league, which is for those fellows who are not out for athletics, was a great success. A great deal of interest was aroused especially among those who were participating. The games were played after school on Friday afternoons, each team playing nine games in all. The Seniors, who turned out to be winners, will have their numerals engraved on the large silver cup which was presented by Mr. Metzger in ’26. The girls’ championship was decided by a tournament. The Seniors turning out to be easy champions. The numerals of 27 will be engraved on the sister cup which was also won by the Class of ’27 in 1926. Great interest was aroused in the class tournament this year. The Seniors had won the cup the two preceding years. This year the players were all Varsity men, but they had to play the Sophomores who were also all Varsity men and will make up the team next year. It was by no means a walk-away, but the Seniors turned out to be the Victors. They will have the great honor of having their numerals placed upon the “Big Brown Cup” for the third consecutive year. I might add that this cup was originally made by “Rut” Wilson for an umbrella holder. It was a product of the high school tin shop. The cup was first presented in 1925. TRACK AND BASEBALL Nothing definite can be said of either track or baseball as the annual goes to press. The most interest was shown in baseball. This is the first time in three or four years that a team had ever been started. Track has been the main sport in the spring. 172 1 “Bill” Browne ’27 G H S. — 1927 H1LUE Girls' Athletics AL I'HOt GH the girls did n«.t have a team this year. they responded t the first call t practice. The captains for the four teams were selected as follows: Freshman---------------------------------Helene I-age Sophomores.------------------------ Bernice Fontaine Juniors------------------------------- Helen Farmer Seniors-------------------------------lone l ietrich class basketball league was f. rmed in which the four teams struggled t1 ■ see which 'ie would win the Silver Gup as a trophv. In the first group of games the Seniors won from the Freshmen by a top hea score 58-1. The same night the luniors won from the Sophomores by a score of 7-4. The tw winning teams then met to see which one would be champion of the first group of games. This was a close struggle throughout the entire time. In the first half the Seniors ran up a score of K while the Junior's score stood at 2. During the last half not much headway was made by the Seniors, and the Juniors, through some good foul shooting added two more points to their number, thus making the score 10-4. A second group of games was announced with: Freshmen vs. Seniors. Sophomores vs. Juniors. As the Freshmen could not find enough to play, the Seniors decided not to let them forfeit the game, so they reduced their number of players to 5. In the first half the Seniors ran up a high score, w hile the Freshmen scored nothing. During the last half the same idea of playing was carried out. t the close the score was 32-0. The game between the Sophomores and Juniors was the main feature with the Juniors carrying the topmost score. This then allowed the Juniors and Seniors to play again for the last time to win the silver cup. s it happened the jumping center on the Senior team could not be there, so our right forward lone Dietrich t ok the place, thus moving one of the guards up to her place. But. never the less the team knew they must win and not break their record. Besides, this team won the cup when they were Juniors. At the end of the first half the score was 0-4 Seniors ahead. With such a score the teams came back for the last time with the idea “to strive and succeed. And they did. for when the final whistle blew the Seniors were in the lead with a small score. 8-7. Of the Senior team four were letter, which tells the tale of their victory. Even at that the lower class men though inexperienced, put up a great battle and made the Seniors fight every minute.

The Honor Point System I E Honor System lias been introduced into the High School Ciirls Gymnasium classes this year. This system causes cooperation between the students and teacher. Each girl is allowed to enter into this contest of being one to score one thousand points through the many different methods. Mental education, as well as physical education, is being stressed more through this new system. A scholarship record of B is included, which allows a student to obtain more points, if he is willing to raise bis standard in school. Good sportsmanship prepares a person so as to be successful in every step of life. This is the one thing that should be taught to the pupils, that is, to “play clean arid be successful.” Both of these give 200 points towards the goal.

S. — 1 9 2 7 HI-LIF E The Story That Made a Man ONCE there was a boy about nine years old, whose name was Jimmie. His father and mother had died a few years before and left him an orphan. Ever since their death he had run errands and worked out at whatever he could, for he had to earn his own living, and go to school. He lived in the city and had a chance at a number of different jobs, and of course he took the easiest ones. It was very hard to do this so when he was fifteen he decided to give up school and go t work. Almost at once he started in caddying at the golf course. He liked this work because he loved the out of doors. One day while he was at the golf course he saw a little hound dog, which seemed to have strayed away from its master or home. As this little chap did not have any friends to talk to, and loved animals, he decided to take this one as his corn-pan inn. This he did. and talked to this dog as though he were a person. He used to go to his little shack, which was in a grove near the golf course, and tell his pal of his day’s pleasures or disappointments whichever he had had. and the dog was always pleased to have him. One night when he came home he did not hear the usual yelp and bark. There was no dog there to wag his tail at Jimmie’s appearance, as there had been every other night. Jimmie didn’t think much of this because it was spring and he thought the dog had gone for a hunt or tramp through the nearby woods which he did once in a while. But when it became dark and Jimmie had finished his night lunch, he began to think his pal ought to be coming home. Being tired as he was from running all day, he thought he would take a little nap; surely his dog would be home before long. But after a few hours’ sleep he was surprised to wake and not find any (log in his place beside his bed. At this limmie decided to start out to see if he could find him. but after an all night search he was forced to give up and go to work, broken hearted but still thinking the dog might return during the next day. One day sometime after the great loss of his pal, dog, he noticed a beautiful collie pup playing with a stick on the greens of the golf course. The pup seemed to make friends with Jimmie right away. So Jimmie coaxed the pup home with him, to make another chum, and sure enough they grew to love each other just as Jimmie and his first pal had, and even more, because this one was growing up with Jimmie and they were both young. Now, to most men he was just Jimmie the caddy; but to one man he was more; he was a boy with a soul and a big heart. This one man would pick Jimmie out for his caddy whenever he could. One day he noticed Jimmie step on a ball and shove it into the ground, to be picked up later. So the next day this same man looked for Jimmie again, for he had thought about this little trick of Jimmie’s over night and wanted to break him of this petty stealing before it led to something bigger in years to come. After they were through this next day, they sat down to rest under a shade tree near the club house and this good man told Jimmie the story of the life of Abraham Lincoln, trying to bring out the honesty of Abraham, more than his greatness. However, he accomplished the very thing he aimed to. because Jimmie from that day on tried to be like this great man and was the most honest boy imiiimiiiiii G . H . S . — 1 9 2 7 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiininnminiitniiriiiiiiiutiiiiiiiiiiiiii HI-LI F E around. After thinking this story over Jimmie saw the folly of stealing this lovely pup months before. He resolved that he would find the owner and return the pup; he would ask forgiveness but it was much easier to think about than to do. Nevertheless, one rainy morning after a sleepless night, Jimmie decided to do the thing that he dreaded. The thought of anyone’s knowing he had stolen this pup, and of being alone from then on without any kind of a companion, made him cry real tears, but he gathered his chum up in his arms and started to go to the address to which the very pup belonged. He had planned just what to say, but in case of heart failure he wrote a note which would explain the mystery and loss of the pup. Sure enough, when he reached the steps he began to get weak and stepping up to the door he just rang the door bell, put the pup down on the door mat, and, being so frightened, ran as fast as he could. Mrs. Adams, the owner, came to the door just in time to see the pup turn to follow Jimmie. At sight of her lost pup, she picked him up in her arms, and in doing this she discovered the note fastened to his collar. Opening it she saw in very poor handwriting, “He’s your dog; I live alone and wanted him for a companion, but it is a terrible thing to steal. I have brought him back to you.” til • ft Jimmie. This note immediately softened Mrs. Adams’ heart. She called her daughter, who was a young lady about twenty-four, to get the roadster and drive her to the golf course at once. They found Jimmie right away, for every one knew him out there. He was helping with some work inside. As I said before, it was a rainy day and golfers were not out. He (lid not know Mrs. Adams, but she knew him as soon as she saw him. She could see at her first glance his kind look and manners. She made herself known, but didn’t let on she knew who he was. They had a visit about the golf course, which was the only thing Jimmie could talk about with interest. I don’t know exactly what was said, but the last seemed to be very confidential. I don’t think it was decided then, but I happen to know that it wasn’t long before Jimmie was not “Just plain Jimmie,” but Jimmie Adams. He was sent to school, and college and later became a very prosperous business man. But never did he forget the story he heard at the links. Louis E. Hewitt iiiuhio [ 77 1 H I - L I F E G. H . S. — 1 9 2 7 A Fortune in One Night ONSET Island lies about eight miles off the coast of Maine. It is a bleak and deserted place except during the summer. In one spot are some berry bushes, which are in a small woods. Jean Mason’s mother was an invalid. Because of Mr. Mason’s speculating in some bonds and losing a large sum of money, there was only a little left with which to send his wife west in order to improve her health. “What shall we do?” cried Jean. “Oh, father, I might go over to Pon-set and pick the berries, which I could bring back to sell!” She begged so hard that Mr. Mason consented to let her go. Early in the morning she started across to the island. She knew that the island was not a very agreeable place, but she would try almost anything to get money. At last she reached land. Having pulled her boat up on the sandy shore, she took out the baskets and started toward the woods. In the center of a clearing in the woods stood a small cottage. This had been owned by an animal trainer. He did not like to shut his trained animals in cages. In order that he might not frighten the neighbors, he bought a lot on the island and moved into the little cottage. He had died only a few monthfj before, so there was no one living there. As Jean was walking along she looked at the sky, saying to herself. “The sky looks clouded. I wonder if it'll storm.” The storm, however, kept off until night. Jean worked hard all day filling her baskets. At sunset as she was coming out of the woods with her baskets filled, feeling very tired, she happened to glance up at the sky and noticed that in the east the clouds were fast coming together. It was getting darker, too. Folks on the mainland said something had lived on this island ever since the trainer died. Jean was not thinking about this just now, however; she was thinking of the storm. “I think I shall take my berries into this little house, and if necessary, stay here over night. Father won’t worry for he’ll know 1 won’t try to start out in this storm.” As she neared the house she noticed large tracks. What could they be? “They look like the track of a human being, only much larger. I wonder if there really is some truth in what the village people have been saying?” Jean asked herself. By this time the storm was breaking, and Jean was forced to go into the house for shelter. Inside she found everything very neat, except for the dust which had settled there. In one room there was a fire-place and in front of it a neat pile of driftwood. In another room which had prob-ably served as a kitchen, she found some provisions; some cocoa, a can of condensed milk, some salt and sugar. A thick darkness had begun to settle over the island. Jean lighted two candles which she had found. The light made by the tire, together with the light of these candles, made the room quite cheerful. “If I had only brought someone with me!” thought lean. “It would be a lot pleasanter with someone to talk to.” She began to cook some cocoa. “I might as well eat, seeing I must stav here all night.” She enjoyed her supper of hot cocoa and berries, also a part of the I 78 1 G.

While the gale was continually rising without, she kept hearing another noise. She listened. “Maybe 1 was just imagining that I heard something,” she thought. But no, there it was again. She looked out of the window but could see nothing; so taking a candle and going into the kitchen, she heard something open the door and come in. Of course with only the light of the candle the room was too dark for her to determine what had entered. She opened the door between the two rooms, and as she did so, the light of the fire shone out into the kitchen, and what she saw was—a bear! Jean now understood the tracks outside. The bear was probably one which was left after his master’s death. lie had undoubtedly spent the winter in the cellar of the cottage. At first Jean was frightened and ran in by the fireplace; but the bear showed no desire to hurt her, so she only stood and watched him. Sniffing the air, he stood on his hind feet and begged. Jean, guessing that he was hungry, gave him a sandwich which was left from her lunch. He ate this very greedily. He then began to do tricks which his master had taught him. He danced on his hind feet; he turned over and over. Jean just sat down and laughed until her sides ached. It was so funny to see him. But this is not the best part of the story. Soon the bear went over to an upholstered chair and taking out the cushion began dancing with it. In removing the cushion he uncovered a box, to which, Jean noticed, a note was tied. Jean read: “This cottage and the lot on which it stands, together with the money which the box contains, goes to the person by whom this note is found. The finder may get the deed of the land by presenting this note at the office of--------. Signed, John Walker.” Jean made herself as comfortable as she could on the cot which was there. She was beside herself with joy, thinking of how much help the two thousand dollars would be. She also knew she would not have to pick any more berries. In the morning the gale had completely died away, and as she looked out of the small window and saw the sun rising, she saw her father coming up the bank. She was so glad that she could hardly tell him how it all happened. Mr. Mason said she might take the bear home for a pet. This she did. With the money, Mrs. Mason was able to go west for her health and in two years she returned, well and strong. Mr. Mason built a pretty little cottage on the island, where Jean, her parents, and many of their friends enjoyed the summers. The End min I 79] lltllllllll H I - L I F K G . H . S. — 1 9 2 7 I! The Mysterious Car IT was a warm night in June. There was no moon, just the soft velvety darkness of a midsummer night. Across the meadows a little breeze carried the sweet perfume of the clover bloom. The lone throated murmur of the frog singing, Deep, deep! Better go around, better go around,” came from a small reed-bordered pond. Across the field came the distant barking of a dog. The country highway was deserted. A few rods back from the highway. surrounded by tall maple trees, stood the home of Marion Douglas. Her father was a prosperous farmer of Bowne Township, as evidenced by the large white house with its wide cool porches, the huge red barns, and broad acres sloping away to the south and east. Marion was lying awake in her cool south chamber, listening to the sound, which had disturbed her dreams for many nights. The grandfather’s clock in the hall below, had just chimed the hour of two. Marion raised herself on her elbow, listening intently. Yes, she could hear the purr of a high powered motor steadilv drawing near. She crept to the window, leaning her elbows on the broad sill. She could see the bright glow of the headlights as they rounded the curve near the bridge. A moment more and she could see dimly, the long, low body of the car, as it swept past the house, the muffled sound of the motor dying away in the distance. She knew that in just two hours, as the first faint streaks of dawn lightened the eastern sky, the car would return. Marion crept back to her bed, wondering as she had for so many nights past, what errand should bring the driver of the mysterious car along the highway. The next morning at breakfast Marson, Marion’s twin brother, said, “I think that it is high time some one found out why that six cylinder Hudson should go ripping by the house when I am trying to sleep.” “Yes,” said his mother, “that car has gone north at two o'clock and back at four, for the last six weeks.” Mr. Douglas then spoke up. “1 was asking O. Z. Pardee about it the other day. and he said he heard it every night. 11 is brother lives up at the Center and he says that the car turns west on the West Bowne road.” “I was over at Uncle Cy Burn’s the other day,” said Marion, “and he said that the neighbors on the West Bowne road all think it is a bootlegger’s car. “Q Gee!” said Marson, “wouldn't it be fun to blow up his tires and catch him at it?” Marion continued, “Uncle Cy thinks, that this car comes from Detroit and goes as far as Dutton, and the cargo is transferred to another car from Grand Rapids to meet him, and the driver comes back. “Say Dad.” said Marson, “let’s notify the Constabulary and have them send a State Trooper out to catch him.” As they rose from the table his father said, “Not a bad idea my boy; we will see what the neighbors think about it.” Two weeks later, Jerry Dunlap of the Michigan State Constabulary, arrived at the Douglas home. As he came riding up the driveway, he saw Marion feeding the chickens. “Good morning! is this where Mr. Douglas lives?” asked Jerry. “Yes,” said Marion, as she threw the last handful of corn into the midst of the large flock of Plymouth Rocks. 1 8 1 i inunntuniuMtiimiiti!iiiiiniiiiiitnii Bnnttiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiitini!Titniimwitti!i!iit H I - L I F K G. H . S. —1 927 “I am Jerry Dunlap of the State Troops, and they told me at the Center your father could give me information concerning the operation of bootleggers in this vicinity.” “I am Marion Douglas,” replied the girl. “Won’t you come in, while I call father from the fields?” Jerry dismounted and led his horse to the watering trough, while Marion rang the large dinner hell to call her father to the house. Marion thought to herself that she had never seen such a pleasing young man. His straight figure in close fitting uniform, his tanned face, under his broad brimmed hat stirred her imagination as none of the neighborhood young men had done. Jerrv, too, was thinking what a charming picture she had made, in her blue checked gingham dress with its crisp organdie collar and cufts. In answer to the bell, her father soon appeared from the lane. He made the trooper welcome and told him all he knew about the mysterious car. Sergeant Dunlap said. “Sir, we think we are on the trail of Jake Slovak’s gang of bootleggers. We have discovered that the whiskey is smuggled through from Canada. Jake has any number of high powered cars operating out of Detroit. I have e erv reason to believe that the driver of this car is one of Jake’s men.” At this moment Mrs. Douglas appeared and said to her husband, Let us ask Serg't Dunlap to stay with us a few days, so that he may observe the nightly trips of the car.” Jerry accepted their hospitality with pleasure, thinking that in this way he could become better acquainted with charming Marion. A bed was prepared for him in a shaded corner of the large screened front porch, and from this vantage point he watched nightly the passing of the roaring car. A large portion of the days that followed were spent in Marion’s company. The mutual admiration, which had been aroused at their first meeting, quickly ripened into something stronger. Each felt that he had found his mate. On the fourth night Serg't Dunlap. accompanied by Marson, stationed himself in the shadows of the W est Bowne church, a mile from the village of Dutton. About three o’clock in the morning their patience was rewarded by the appearance of a car from the direction of Grand Rapids. It drew up in the shadow of a willow tree, shut off the motor and snapped out the lights. A few moments passed, and the headlights of a car appeared to the east. The lights of the waiting car flashed three times in the darkness and the oncoming car slowed down and stopped. To the silent watchers near the church came the low tones of the men. the clinking of bottles as the contraband goods was transferred. The car that had arrived first backed to the roadway, swung to the west and was gone. The mysterious car turned for the homeward trip and with grinding of gears, roared into the darkness. Serg’t Dunlap was now satisfied that the mysterious car was one of notorious Jake’s bootlegging cars, and he began to lay his plans for the capture. Another week passed and Jerry felt that the time was now ripe for the capture of the car and its contents. Jerry made a trip to the city and informed the sheriff about what he was to do. They wished to capture both cars. The sheriff with his deputies was to seize at the W est Bowne Church the car coming from Grand Rapids. Accordingly, one night about midnight Jerry and Marson, armed with their revolvers and a red lantern, went down the road to the bridge. 181 1 H I - L 1 F E mi ninmum; G . H . S. — 1 9 2 7 ■MutiiMHniiiiiiiiiiminniiMminiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHii Working rapidly they removed three planks from the bridge and hung the red lantern close by upon the railing. They concealed themselves one on each side of the roadway and waited. Jerry’s watch pointed to the hour of two, when they heard the approaching car. As the driver caught sight of the red lantern and the dark opening where the planks had been removed, his speed slackened and the car came to a stop. A dark figure appeared on each running board and the driver saw, in the glow of his dash light, the shining barrel of a revolver and the khaki clad figure of a State Trooper. “Well, I guess you have got me boys,” said the driver. “What are you going to do about it?” “We will soon show you,” said Jerry. “First thing you may get out of this car and help young Douglas replace the planks of the bridge.” This was done and with Marson in the back seat and Serg’t Dunlap seated beside the driver, they proceeded on their way. When they arrived at the West Bowne church they found that the sheriff and his men were holding the other car. The mysterious car was searched. At first they could find no evidence of the hidden liquor. The car was fitted out with balloon tires, a spare tire being carried on the running board. Marson happened to be leaning against this spare tire, when he thought he heard the clink of bottles under his elbow. Calling to Jerry, he told him of his suspicions and the tire was removed. Sure enough, it was found to be filled with rare Scotch Whiskey. The two cars and their drivers were taken to the city by the Sheriff. Marson and Jerry returnd to the Douglas home, happy with their night’s work. The following September Jerry and Marion were married. Eleanor Middlebrook.

The assembly was attractively decorated in the colors of the two classes. The fun began with a “get acquainted grand march. After this silhouettes and unique orchestra made their stage appearance with roars of laughter from the audience. Some real music followed. The rest of the evening was spent in playing bunco after which refreshments were served. At this time horns were distributed and Greenville awoke with a start as the frolicsome bunch went down the street. All agreed this party was the best ever. Alice Parkhill ’29 Sophomore Bunco Party The first class party of the year was held by the Sophomores in the Gym during October. The evening was spent in playing progressive bunco at the close of which prizes were awarded to the two people with the highest scores. To close a very enjoyable evening refreshments were served by the committee in charge. Eileen Lester ’29 School Parties We did not abandon our parties this year, but we participated in them with a keen desire to please everyone. We succeeded, too, because we had games for those not caring to dance, games that were enlivening to say the least. Prizes were awarded to the winners. As for dancing, we know everyone had plenty of excitement. Somehow or other we never could acquire the consent of Miss Sheppard and Mr. Whale to put on a specialty for us. The music was always good—plenty of pep and all that goes to make an orchestra turn out to be exactly what you wanted. Even now I can hear the strains of music which re- call for me some of those good times we had in the gym. Agnes Petersen ’27 Basketball Feeds Shortly after the beginning of the second semester, the basketball squad was given a very fine “feed” at “Long John” Nelsen’s home. After dinner they played some of the games that a bunch of fellows are apt to play, and a splendid time was had by all. Thanks to “Long John.” All Senior Feed The All-Senior team was given a banquet by Mr. and Mrs. Dewey just after Peck and Browne were forced out of athletics by the eight semester ruling. After the dinner, the fellows and the Coach journeyed to Grand Rapids where they watched Creston play Union a “plenty good” game of basketball which was much in keeping with the “plenty good” dinner that had just been enjoyed. “Bill” Browne '27 junior and Senior Party After much deliberation due to the economical disposition of our Junior friends, one of the grand affairs of the season took place December 17th—namely the Junior - Senior Party. The decorations were of a primitive sort—in fact the gymnasium was in its natural state. With eager anticipation we joined in a ceremonious grand march which was led by Dorothy Thompson and Eldon Hansen, the latter being our Senior president. Gaily we danced. Then a delightful program was presented. The Girls’ Glee Club entertained us, followed bv a vocal solo by Vivian Briggs. Then a piano solo was given by Helen Choate, after which we enjoyed a dance by Helen Miller. Then the Boys’ Glee Club pleased us with a few selections. All too soon this entertainment ended, just as all the others we have enjoyed, but still there remain our memories. Agnes Petersen ’27 llllllinHIIIMUH I 84 ) H I - L I F E G. H .
