Hutchins, Principal. Page thirteen CLASS HISTORY —f I I For four short years our little Hoot has been riding in harbor. In a few days our anchors will be weighed and we shall pass together down the tide. A few days and these clustering sails will he scattered and will be fading specks, each in his own horizon, steaming or drifting toward the goal. We. the class of nineteen twenty, realizing that education is the developing of the man or woman for the responsibilities of life, which are sure to come to us. began our work in earnest on September fourth, nineteen sixteen. The familiar call, “all freshmen meet in the auditorium. early in September was for the purpose of drawing us together to select those who were to guide our ship during the year. As a result Miss Coppins became our admiral. Stewart Wickham, our captain, and Corlnne Skccls and Edith I a.Mont, ensigns. The seamen on hoard the ship at this time numbered fifty-five. Only thirty-three of these are still sailing with us. The other twenty-two tired of the sea life and left it in. searcli of other adventures. Our fleet was led- tills year by the flagship, known as The Faculty. This was commanded by (‘apt. Harrington. The other members of th.? crew were Mr. VanBuskirk. Mr. Jenks. Miss Culver. Miss Duffy. Miss Scanlon and Miss Coppins. We had some difficulty in getting started on our trip for we had never before had any experience in this kind of a life. At first our work, which was called by various names, as Latin, English, Algebra. History, and Biology, was quite easy, but after a few weeks we found that we were given more to do. We sailed in deeper water, and some days there were terrible storms. Our flagship. The Faculty, was always ahead of us. however, and always ready to help us. During this trip in Freshman I.akc, we found that we could cruise around In other lakes sometimes. One of these was the Lake of Pleasure. Here all the fleet in th. ? harbor came together for good times. The first night that we were asked to be present hero, the Lake of Pleasure, was under the command of the Seniors. After this we went here quite often and sometimes we took command ourselves. During this first y.car some of our crew discovered a small sea which they thought looked more pleasant, so they left us for the Sea of Matrimony. After nine and one-half months we were given shore Pave for three months, after which time we were to be sent to Sophomore Lake. We were told that wo were one-fourth nearer the end of the harbor and that when we had reached the end we would enter the large Sea of Life. While we were on our shore leave we wore somewhat saddened by the news that the Captain of our flagship. Mr. Harrington, and one of the crew. Mr. VanBuskirk. had left us to Join the World War. Wh n we came together in the harbor again, we began our cruise in Sophmore Lake. Several of our crew did not attempt this trip, but we were joined by seven new people. Our admiral this year was Miss Duffy, our captain. Wilna It-ynolds. and our ensigns. Verona Butzer and I In Damrcll. Th ? Faculty.” this year, was under the command of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Savage. Mr. Jenks, Miss Culver. Miss Duffy, Miss Oates, and Miss Carver were on hoard also. This year we took few trips in the l.ake of Pleasure, for we were all anxious to spend all of our extra time working for the American lied Cross, the Junior lied Cross, the Thrift Stamp Campaigns and the Y. M. C. A. Five hundred dollars were raised for War Funds during this year. We were proud and glad that we could do something for our country at this time. The trip this year closed with a picnic on shore. It was held at Juniper B ach and was very successful. The work of our third trip was much the same as that of the other two years, only that now we were older and knew better just what was expected of us. As we realized that our time in the harbor was getting short, we decided not to spend ail of our time in work, but to spend as much as we could in the l.ake of Pleasure. We began our trip In Junior I ak 1 with seven new seamen. The flagship was still under the command of Mr. Sherman, hut Page fourteen MAVORIC PARMER. President. EILEEN WELSH. Vice President.

Now there were Mr. Savage. Mr. Barnura, Mr. Wlveater, Miss Adair. Miss Congleton. Miss Cates, Miss Saylcs, Miss Greenfield and Mr. Jenks. Our own ship was in charge of Leroy Johnson with Verona Butzer and Klsie Brandel as his assistants. Miss Adair was our admiral. The first event of Importance to us this year was an event which was of tremendous import to the whole world. It was known as Armistice Day. The whole lleet left their work that day to celebrate together the wonderful victory and the end of the terrible fighting. Three times this year we had glorious parties in the I.ake of Pleasure. The first time all of the fleet were tinvited. the Freshmen. Sophomores, and Seniors. Flags, and red and white streamers were used in the patriotic decorations. Fveryone danced and late in the evening refreshments were served. Our next event in tht I.ake of IMiasur.e was known us the Junior-Senior Spread. It was held the recond of May. At this time an elaborate banquet was served, after which a program of toasts was given. We were very proud of those of our crew who took part. loiter in the year occurred another Important event, known as the Junior Reception. This time we were in command, and the Seniors were entertained. Apple blossoms were used very Affectively In decoiat-ing. A banquet was served at six-thirty, and then a dance followed. When our trip was almost over we decided to have a skirmish with the Senior fleet. It consisted of a tug-o-war, and although our crew-worked nobly, they were deflated by the Senior fleet. To celebrate the day we all appeard for our wotk dressed in outlandish costumes. Again we ended our trip with a picnic on shore. The weather was delightful, and although we had to guard the.Ice-cream, so as to keep the ever-Jealous Seniors from eating it. we spent an ideal day. We separated for our shore leave with regret, for we realized that after another year had passed we would be sailing out of the harbor, perhaps forever. In the fall of nineteen nineteen we entered upon our voyage on Senior l.ake with light hearts and yet with serious thoughts, as we realized that now all the fleet looked to us as leaders. Again the flagship had a new commander, this time Captain Blanchard. The seamen wore most of them new-, too. They were Mr. Spitler. Mr. Gilbert. Mr. Weltman. Miss Adair. Miss McCauley. Miss Areklet. Miss Davis. Miss Fruechtal and Miss Savles. Page sixteen Our admiral for thin voyage war. Mr. Blanchard, our captain. Mavorlc Fanner, and our ensigns. Marie Greiner and Harold Fr.eboin. Our time was full during this last trip, for not only were thcr.' events under our command, but there were many others, to which we were invited, in command of other fleets. The Freshmen. Sophomore and Junior crews all helped in making this last voyage of ours pleasant. The crew of the flagship also did their share by preventing stormn and by inviting us several times to the Lake of Pleasure. Twice our crew entertained the seamen of other ships with dances. Once we gave a program of music before the rest of the licet. Many who had not been intimately acquainted with our cr. w, were surprised at the talent displayed. Some of our crew became noted for the talent they displayed in alliL' tics. Partly through their ability the basket-ball team of the fleet went through a victorious season. One of the longest remembered events of this voyage was what was known as the Senior Play, which was h.'Id the thirtieth of April. Not only were the members of other crews entertained but people came from the shore and the large Sea to hear our noted players. They will long remember Martin Henry and Abigail Persons, as well as the other mcmbeis of the crew who look part in Kngaged by Wedaesday. Our musical talent was shown in Midsummers Day. the operetta, given by various members of the fleet. The money secured through this was given to the Armenians. We decided that In future years there might be otlwr fleets who would want to know of our voyages, and so determined to publish the llartian. which should contain a record of all our storms, our trials, and our victories. By nuans of this you can judge for yourselves the talent of the members of our crew. Now we arc about to sail out of the harbor and into the Sea of Life. We realize that the four years we have spent in the harbor have been guarded ones, for we have had friends on our flagship and friends on shore to help us. Now we will have to go alone. We feel, however, that we have been well trained for our work, for we have tried to Build for Character and not for Fame.” As we start on our voyage on the Great Sea. we shall think of the happy days spent in the harbor, but we shall think, too. of the days which lie before us. and we shall try to live up to the Ideals given us In Old Hart High.

Perchanc.i a brief history of the class will sort o' prepare you for what the class of ’21 is and will be. You know that cur first high school year began Sept. 15. 1917. Later in the year we had one of those strictly formal affaiis which is known as a class election and meeting. This me. ting was held under the able guidance of Mr. Savage, who was to be from then cn our class teacher. While there some of us L: anted some of Parliamentary Law. Thus a new republic was formed under a beautiful banner (f Illue and White. That year this republic gave their first stall affair which was a dancing pa.ty, and in cur estimation there never was quite ruch a party before. To ray the least if was a wonderful success. W 3 had some good times that year but best of all was when wc went on our picnic. The high school a3 a whole wont to Juniper the last Saturday of the school year and had a gcod time climbing the dunes and doing many other things. These picnics were a farow. II party to the teachers and the school year. Mrs. Charles Noret was selected as the chaperone of our class. September came before it was time as it usually dees to the average school kid, but we came back like olxedicnt children, but instead of being lowly Freshmen wc were Sophs. We again had a clns; meeting and the election returns were as follows: President, Mavoric Farmer; Vice President, Hazel Weeks; Treasurer. Bill Baler; Secre-atlicr unique party, for we served pop-corn balls and they w. re good. This was our year for doing things, for besid. s our wonderful parties wc gave our succc.-sful play, FOR THE OLD FLAG.” You all remember it for it was the kind of a play that can’t be forgotten verj easily. Soon it was time to go to the second annual picnic. A volume cculd be written on these picnics. There was excitement and strangeness of getting up early for wc always started about 6:00 o’clock. Then was the trip and the coming off cf the wagon wheel while we were going down Davis' hill. Ah, yes, lest I forget, may I say that some of our lucky classmates wer.o selected to serve at the Junlcr-Scnlor Banquet, which wns come honor we claimed. School was out onco more for a short three months and then wo were Juniors, the class cf many possibilities and no faults, of course. Our Class held its first meeting ar.d again .elected the officers fer the clas. Thi3 year we were more particular than ever, for look!We had a Junior Reception to give and a banquet which must be h tter than any other so far. Our President, Henrietta Jorrisren, headed the list cf officers and we w. rc veiy preud of her for she had great executive ability. Then came a new member of the class, Jim Levere. lie hailed from Mears where Oceana’s great, st little paper hails. Jim was made Vice President. Then B. Melbourne Barton wa3 honored, for lie was made cu.-t.ea. urcr. Cur Secretary is a genuine Hart girl. Hazel Weeks. Wo again came to the front with another nice party. In fact a rather unique pa.ly. for we terved pop-corn halls and they were good, t jo. Plcaoe don’t, think that we arc the only ones that give parties, far from it. but you know class spirit says that ours are best, though w.; thank the ether classes and also'the faculty for their very nice parties. Time rolls on and soon we'll all he Seniors. Before that time we give cur Junior Hep and the Banquet. On the evening cf May 14. we gave the Class of 1920, our Seniors, the people of the hour, the banquet and hep combined. Here is another place where volumes could be written, but time Is scarce and a short description must suffic.?. Tho Banquet Hall was dccotntcd in purple and gold and it was there that the wonderful cats were served by members of the Sopho-i rnre Class. After the cats” we had a short program which was fine. Then we adjourned to the Ball Room which was beautifully decorated in green and white. Soon we shall have our annual picnic. We shall adjourn again for a short time and then we shall come hack to school, but not as Juniors, as Seniors, and then Watch us go! ! Clarence Riddell. Page twenty-four CLARENCE RIDDELL. President.

S. caravan prepared for Its nine months journey, September 1, 1918, across the great Desert of Knowledge. The caravan with Emir-el-hadschs, or leaders. Sherman and Savage, was divided into four groups, each under supervision of a minor Emlr-el-hadsch. The first group bore a gay purple and gold pennant, upon which was the name “Senior, the second one. a green and white pennant with the name “Junior, the third, a blue pennant which bore in white letters the name “Sophomore, while the fourth carried a pennant of purple and white, with the nanxe Freshmen” in bold letters. It was a commemorable sight as an eager crowd of studious young persons found their respective places in th.- caravan. With wondering eyes and open mouths a group of forty-one cameleers climbed to their places on their favorite dromedaries of the Freshman group, some choosing the Latin, others History, and still others Biology. With Hmir-el-hadsch Congleton as lender of the last group they started on their long desert Journey. The Caravan mov.cd slowly but steadily for the work was hard each camel must be kept in straight line. This was the task of each rider, to keep his animal on the straight path. But the journey was not all work. With as great success as their old r companions the Freshmen cameleers gave a much enjoyed oasis party, winning praise from the more experienced. As bravely as did the Senior cameleers, the Freshmen withstood the scorching sun of discouragement, passed terrific sand storms of difficulties, and evaded any drought of A's until covering the last few miles with success they reached the large and beautiful oasis of promotion. The journey was over. Here the caravan rested for three short months and prepared for its second trip. September 1, 1920. Emir-el-hadschs Blanchard and Spitlcr took command of the procession while Emlr-el-hadsch McCauley, the little crowd of Sophomores. now reduced to thirty-six. onto their ships of the desert. Sonv? preferred to ride and drive the Goometery dromedaries, while others chose the Caesar, still others the Geography, the remaining according to their Individual tastes. The Sophomore banner was changed to the color of this group, purple and white, and the caravan started its second journey. With the experience of learning of the previous year most of the Sophmores overcame the difficulties of the desert. The casls patties relieved the monotony of the trip and, when semi-completed, a terrific sand-storm began to blow. The camels by instinct kn dt to the ground and Kmir-el-hadsch commanded all to hide their faces In the long hair of their animals. Tho sandstorm of demerits was upon them. Few escaped them. The following day the Journey was rerum d. Arriving at the second casis of the promotion, the caravan halted for another three months rest. The Sophomores, by diligence and patience w«re new Juniors. Here they are resting for the third journey, when they enter the Junior group and Journey on to the third and fourth cases of promotion. D. P. D. Page twenty-six HELEN BILLINGS. President.

We were very much confused at first, however, trying to find our desk and class rooms. We elected officers of our class: Theodore Dayharsh. president; Albert Shinn, vice president; Thelma DuMont, secretary, and Stasia nruckman. treasurer. Miss Ruth Sayles was appointed guardian much to the delight of the members of our class. Although the boys had basketball practice, we played no games of importance. Of course we must have a party like the high school grades, and so having invited the members of the faculty. w.e joined in fun and frolic In the auditorium which was decorated in our class colors, blue and gold. Refreshments were served consisting of ice cream and wafers. Much to the embarrassment of the refreshments committee and th.? misfortune of the guests, a group of high school boys took over half of our ice cream from the Domestic Science Room. Near the end of the year, accompanied by some of the teachers, we went to Juniper Beach, where we enjoyed ourselves in a picnic dinner. Having received our diplomas, we left the eigthth grade with joyful hearts to become Freshmen the next year. And so last September we began our Freshman year. Theodore Dayharsh was re-elected president; Helen Hawley became vice president; Phyllis Joslin, secretary, and Geraldine Maze, treasurer. Miss Sayles was again appointed guardian and our class colors remained blue and gold. Shortly after the basketball season opened, our Freshman team joined battle in the tournament. Although we did not win the “Cup. we are proud of our team and its manager. We also played a game with Mears high school which ended much in favor of the Freshmen. After the Christmas holidays we entertained the other three grades of the high school at a party given in the auditorium. When our turn came to give a program as the other grades had done, we showed that the Freshmen also possessed talent. And now the Freshman year is drawing to a close, with the anticipation of our annual picnic at the lake and our Fancy Dress party to be given the 28th of May and to which the Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors, also Faculty and School Board are invited. Although most of us are happy to think we shall become Sophomores next year, we shall never forget the exciting and delightful times we have had as a Freshman class. — Geraldine Maze.

At the opening of school in September. 1920. there were thirty-seven members of the eighth grade. Miss Viva Davis was appointed the class guardian, and the following officers were elected: President. Delos Highland: Secretary. Harrlette Brlen; Treasurer. Charles Bruckman. Undaunted by the fact that we were only eighth graders, we joined forces with the seventh grade and an Hallowe’en even masked as ghosts, and. with the faculty as guests, we gave our first party in the auditorium. Our next ordeal was a program before the high school. With shaking knees but flying colors'our International Orchestra braved the storm. Other members followed with songs, solos, and readings. I ist but not least, we presented to the High School our new invention. The Keproductophone. which vividly recalled to the minds of the audience experiences of their own lives. From our midst two groups have been formed, the Camp Fire Girls and the Boy Scouts. The Camp Fire Girls' guardian is Miss Davis and the Scout Master is Mr. Blanchard. The Camp Fire Girls elected officers as follows: President. Anna Louise Winship: Vice President. Katrina Dennison; Secretary. Harrlette Brlen; Treasurer. Helen Sherman. Alihough the boys have done little as yet, the girls have .enjoyed many good programs, hikes, and picnic suppes. Since we are not members of the highschool basket ball teams, we turned again to our tinder-classmen and had many enjoyable If not noteworthy times. The girls being coached by Elsie Brandel and the boys by Mr. Weltman. We expect to end our first year in high school with a picnic at Juniper Beach. Page thirty one DELOS HIGHLAND.

Leroy: Why. hello LaVange, where in the world have you come from? Come, sit down and have a chat. Tell in? about yourself, and anything you know about the rest of our old class. L. V.: You remember the shortage-of-teachers trouble we experienced in 1922. Don't you remcmbr how thy used to tak? us out of college to go and teach for a month or so? Well, they-vo fixed that up in Hart by introducing the consolidated schools system ar.d I'm the Principal. By the way, that reminds me. the Sunday Schools had the : amo trouble, so they're Consolidated Sunday Schools now and Charley Fletcher, who was the instigator of the system, is President of all the Sunday Schools in America. What's that you've been writing' Leroy: “Oh. you know I'm a chemist here for the Hawaiian Sugar Refining Co. and I've been pretty busy until about a month ago. when we received notice to suspend operations, as sugar is Hooding the market. Since then there's been nothing to do but sit around and draw my wages, so for a temporary Job I have taken th? Hawaiian branch of advertising for the International Daily.” It's the greatest paper in the world; published in fourteen different languages every day. I’ve just been writing up an advertisement for a dentist here in Honolulu. Say. you know him; Harold Freeborn, we used to call him Fritz? He’s the best dentist in Hawaii. Do you tak.? the International?” L V.: No. I have very little time to read the papers. Leroy: Ix ok at this picture of the Colyum conductor. Know him? -1 V.: Why -cr—1 believe that's—Isn’t that Clair TL?tz? 1 ‘ioy: “That’s just who it is. He’s’ probably more talked about than Hiram Johnson. All the world reads his foolishness every day, and it’s good, too. L. V.: (Noticing a book on the table.) Do they read Margar't Whalley’s hooks here as much as they do in the U. S.? If they do. everyone must save his money to buy them. Folks are just crazy ov.-r her essays. Leroy: Yes. they certainly are a craze here. H- r latest book here is How To Play A Scientific Game of Sly-Winkem. Enter Ethel Powers. Ethel: 1I llo, Leroy; why. If it isn’t I .a Vang.? Gilliland! I.eroy and LaVange: Ethel Powers!! L. V.: When we read in the papers that you were to he a missionary to Mars, we thought probably you’d stay ther.?. How is your work coming? Ethel: Oh. it’s awful slow, hut I’m making a little progress. I Just thought I'd come back to Earth long enough to vote for Hiram Johnson. He's served his country well enough for six terms, why not keep him? Is Renan Barclay campaign manag?r for Hoover again? Poor follow, he has always worked hard for Hoover, but I guess if he wants to be a success he’ll have to take up something else. Leroy: Say. we’re learning a lot al out the old class. Any more news?” • L. V.: “Well. Minnie Bushaw is a speed instructor in th? Maci ch-lan Business College, Winnifred Craig is Republican Senator from Michigan, and Marie Greiner is French Instructor in th? University of Michigan.” Page thirty four Ethel: “Well, everybody from that class seems to be successful. What do you think, as I was coming from New York, I was playing the Vietrola and about half of the classical singing was by Beiyl.? Leak. And speaking about New York. I stopped at the Accidental Hotel there and oooh! I had the swelhst eats, and I inquired around and I found that V.elma Shull is chief cook there and she surely Is a good one. My I had a good chat with her. And she told me that Corinne Skeels had stopped in to see her about a month ago. She was jur.t leaving for an extended singing lour in Kurope.” Iv?roy: “Yes. Corinne is surely making something of herself. There's the mail. Excuse me and I'll get it. (Exit.) Ethel: I.aVange. have you heard anything about my old chum. Elizabeth Putney? 1 haven’t heard a word from her since I was on Earth before. 1.. V.: The papers were full cf her name a few months ago. up In Michigan. She is married and recently was awarded a gold medal for being the best housekeeper in Michigan. And talking about people getting married. Eileen Welsh has married a red-headed farmer who lives about three and a half miles ,-ast of Hart. I suppose you ca t guess who he is, can't you? Ethel: “I guess maybe I can. Yes. and Laurence Wachtcr and Ruth Gamble are married and living in Pittsburg. Wachter is Advertising Manager of the ‘Indestructible Farm Implement Co.' Don't you remember how he was always reading farm tools advertisements in History class? And now his firm is putting out about a million of them a day. Enter Ix?roy with mail. Leroy: Well, here is the mail. I'll take the International’ and you folks help yourselves to any of the papers and we’ll see who can find the mest interesting piece of news. (All read.) Ethel: “Why. Ix?roy Johnson, why didn’t you tell us this? Elden Simpson is editor of the 'Cartoons Magazine.’ I ll bet it'll be hotter than ever now. Haven’t you folks round anything yet? L. V.: Here's something queer. There’s be.cn a new party formed in Michigan, just since I've been absent from there. It’s called the No-Tobac party, and—a—why for goodness' sake; Verona Butzer Is candidate for Governor on that ticket. She never did approve of smoking. Leroy: Here’s the theater page. Let’s see what's coining off. If there’s anything good in San Francisco tonight we'll take a run up there in my new monoplane (it’s a four-seater) and take it in. Here’s the very thing. Ethel Melven is to he leading lady in the Passing Show of 'll. which op ns tonight. We ought to see that.” Ethel: I'd like to cce that mycelf.

Our opponents were aided and abetted by r.x-service men, while we did not have this advantage. Before the season was well started we realized the seriousness of this handicap. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE H H. S. Opponents Date Place 7 Shelby—38 Oct. 18 Hart 0 Ludlngton—48 Oct. 25 Hart 20 Alumni—14 Nov. 7 Hart Ludlngton Nov. 11 Ludlngton The first game showed us our lack of experience, but at the same time we were getting it; so that after it was over we knew how it feels to play a football game. The Shelby team outweighed us ten pounds to the man, and their team showed us its solidity and driving power by heating us 38-7. But nevertheless, that lone touch-down encouraged us mightily for we held them to one touch-down in the last half, and more than held our own. thanks to Coach Spider's fatherly advice. When the Ludlngton team came down we thought we were prepared to give thiCm a good game of football, but their fast little right end surprised us, and we seemed unable to decipher tluir formations. They started out with a rush, and soon we were on the road to defeat. To make matters worse, one of our men was Injured. The final score was 48-0, or thereabouts. The Alumni game was the ouly game of importance that we played and won. The Alumni put up a good game, but the superior playing of the High School team, manifested at no other time during the season, finally prevailed. and they gave up the ghost gracefully. The last game was played at Ludlngton. As a game it was poor, almost a walkaway for Ludington. but we were handicapped by a field so muddy that a swimming contest would have been mor.e appropriate than a football game. Some of us did not wish to run the risk of marring our appearance for the evening so took good care of ourselves. We enjoyed the trip, however, and ate a hearty supper. Some of us w-ent to the show and got back to Hart at 2:30 A. M. Thus ended the season of 1919. C. E. T. Page forty-one Bayard Buchcn Carson McMillan Chester Mack Eldon Simpson Walter Dennert Herbert Hackctt Harold Freeborn Page forty two The basket ball season this year was characterized chi .fly by a lack cf games and postponements due to snow-bound trains. The home team won nearly all of its games. The fast Independent team of Hart played practice games with the High School team nearly every night, so that Hart had two good teams and nobody to play. However, ther.2 is plenty of good material for a team next year. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE li. h. a Opponents Date Place 66 Pent water—5 Dec. 15. 1919. Hart 49 Walkervllle- 8 Dec. 19. 1919.

The second game. with Walkervllle, was played by the second team of Hart against the Walkervllle first. It provided some amusement for the second team to compensate for their hard work in giving the first team praetice. After these first two minor games, Hart Ix gan to look about for larger game and new fields to conquer. The next game was between Hart and Fremont. Everybody expected a very snappy game, but Fremont proved rather easy; the outcome of the game was not in doubt after the first five minutes. After this game we h'gan to think we had a pretty good team, and the game with Grand Haven confirmed cur belief. It was Grand Haven’s first home game, and they started out with a rush, making five points in the first five minutes, but Mr. Spitler was not disturbed by this, however, for they made these points by two long shots and one foul shot. Soon Hart began scoring, so that at the end of the first half things began to look different. The last half Grand Ilaven only got four points from fouls, while Hart scored steadily, finally winning by a score of 27 to 9. The last half was like a football game, as Grand Haven seemed to bt slightly peeved. The boys were put up at private homes, and had to get down to the train at six-fourteen in the morning; this caused a great deal of trouble in the matter of getting up early enough, and then the train was two hours late, but finally the boys got back safely. The next game, although with the home alumni team, was a fast one and very closely contested, but the High School team won this game by a score of 21 to 20. The game with Zeeland was played without two of our best men. The floor was very small, which handicapped our boyst very much. However it was a fast game and a scrap every minute. What further contributed to our downfall was the fact that the beam went on the floor to play fifteen minutes after they got ofT the train. The game ended at 3:55 and the train left at 1:00. The boys arrived home in time for the shirt factory dance. C. E. T. Page forty three W The Tournament and Girls Basket Ball W Till- TOURNAMENT We arrived ai lt. Pleasant about midnight Wednesday, and were met by normal students, who took us to the places where wo stayed. The next morning after breakfast we inspected the Normal gym. The towu was full of visiting teams, tlilrty-flve altogether. About noon we drew numbers and Croswell was our first opponent. The game was played in the afternoon at the Indian School. The School is situated about a mile from the town. We got some unexpected support here, for the Indians were evidently captivated by the color of our suits and cheered us heartily. Croswell was considered one of the best teams there. They had arrived Monday and had practiced with the Normal team. Nevertheless, when th. smoke cleared away we were on the long end of a 16-5 score. That night, with no rest, we repeated th. performance. This time Reed City was the victim. This was the closest and hardest game of the tournament. The score was 6-3 in our favor. The teams were beginning to thin out. and those who were L ft expected that the final game would be with our team. But the next morning something slipped. With a team far inferior to us Lady Luck deserted us at the crucial moment and we lost by one point—Hart 9. Greenville. 10. During the intermission between halves the President of the Normal passed us and paid us the wonderful tribute of saying we were the cleanest playing team of all the thirty-five there. After the bitter disappointment of the Greenville game we did not care what happened. But we did watch the final game between Cass City and Arthur Hill of Saginaw. Cass City’s star forward had the misfortune to br.'-ak his arm in the game and Cass City was defeated by a 32-15 score. In the evening we were entertained at a banquet to all the visiting teams, given by the Normal. The tournament was wound up by a game between the Normal and Saginaw Y”. Normal won, 28-19. h. P. GIRLS BASKET BALL The girls playing basket ball this year certainly deserve mention. Of course they did not make such a brilliant record as the boys, but it was neither the fault of Miss Davis or the girls. Every time a date for a game was obtained a storm, influenza. Scarlet fever vacation, or something Interfered. Nevertheless a series of very interesting inter-class games was played hetween the Seniors and Sophomores. The score being 13-9 in favor of the Sophs in the first game.

Page forty-four □ Interclass Basket Ball Tournament l I To provide entertainment for the high school, and to train men for future Hart High School basketball teams, it was decided that an interclass basketball tournament should be held. Mr. Blanchard donated a silver cup. to he engraved with the name of the winning team, and 1110 names of the players on that team. This made great rivalry spring up among the classes. Every game wa3 bitterly contest'd to the last second. SCIIBDULK 1 Fr.oshJunior Jan. 7 Jr. 10. Freshmen 7. 2 Senior-Soph. Jan. 14 Sr. 37. Sophomore 10 3 Junior-Soph.

The Juniors finally won this game. The Sophs, proved easy for both Juniors and Seniors, and the next game between Juniors and Freshmen was hard fought and exciting, but the superior team work of the Freshmen finally won them, the game. This was conceded by all to be the fastest game of the tournament. The next two games were won by the Juniors and Freshmen respectively. Th,o next game was hard fought, and showed that the Juniors had something more in their team than luck. The Freshmen expected to win, but were so inter.t on using their five man defense that they could not get the ball down the floor to their basket. This game established the Juniors’ lead of four ganv.s won and none lost, and the next game put the Sophs at the foot of the list. At this time hopes of everybody except the juniors sank to zero. All hung on the next game. This game was the surprise of the season. The Sophs, had lost all games, the Juniors had won all of their’s. The Juniors had only three of their regular team, and—well to this day nobody knows how they did it, but the Sophs, beat the Juniors, to the wild Joy of Seniors and Freshmen. The next game was one of the closest of the season. The Freshmen got a lead on the Seniors in the first half, and increased it the first part of the last half, and then in the last five minutes the Seniors rallied and made three baskets, almost tying the score, but it had come too late; the whistle blew, and threw cold water all over the Seniors' hopes. The last game established the Juniors’ claim to th. cup. Page forty-five I t I □ □ CLASS PARTIES □ □ — SKMOR PARTY The Seniors gave the first party of the year on October third.

High School lecture Course consisted of an address by Thomas Brooks Fletcher. Hart people were very glad to welcome .Mr. Fletcher to their city for the third time. This year his subject was. “Community Dead Heads. This was enjoyed equally as much as his subjects of the two previous years. “The Martyrdom of Fools,” and “The Tragedies of the Unprepared.” Mr. Fletcher told of the people who are drawbacks to their community. who retard rather than promote the welfare of the place in which they live. His manner of delivery was very plasing. and his lecture was thoroughly appreciated by all who heard him. It is hoped that he may return to Hart for the fourth time and give his lecture on “The Modern Judas. KRYL’S ORCHESTRAL SEXTETTE. The Kryls Orchestral Sextette gave an entertainment. December twelfth. The following instrumnts were played: cello, flute, violin, cornet, clarinet, and piano. The company expressed the wish of the audience when they said that they hoped they might return at some future time. I.AC RANT. The school children of Hart turned out in large numbers to see I.aurant. “The Man of Mysteries. present his entertainment of illusions and music. His magic was so well presented, that he held the attention of the older people as well as the children. Although the audience watched his movements closely, they were unable to detect how any of his tricks were performed. They were especially puzzled over the Chinese ring fete, the card trick, and the luncheon which he served to the braver members of the audience. The transformation of the rainbow colors Into the American flag was an effective conclusion for this magical program. Page fifty-one SENIOR PLAY 5 ¥ The Senior class save their play entitled. Fingaged by Wednesday. AprU thirtieth. It was rendered more delightful and realistic by means of effective scenery, for which we owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Blanchard. and by the charateristlc costumes of the actors. Verona Butzer, ns Miss Abigail Persons, the Spinister, and Mavorlc Farmer as Martin Henry, the laziest man in the country, won much laughter from the audience. Guy Nicholson as Arthur Watson and Eileen Welsh ns Lucille Persons, did not suffer much ns is usually the case in love story plots. Mildred Sheldon as Mrs. Watson. Renan Barclay, l.nwrence Wachter, Harold Freeborn, Wllna Reynolds Corinne Skeels and Edith LaMont also deserve much credit for the way in which they played their parts. The cook. Elsie Brandt 1. and the gypsies, Edith Hardy and Hazel Convis, also helped make the plot more complicated. The play was a success from every standpoint. Few would have thought that the actors were amateurs, so naturally and realistically did they take their parts. The proceeds of the play and the sale of popcorn amounted to about one hundred and sixty-five dollars. This will be used for the Hartlan. □ A LECTURE ON IMITATION — By Orel Burdick. I have been asked by a member of my class to give a speech here this morning. I have been having a bad case of tonsilitis. which makes it very difficult for me to speak, but 1 11 do the bst I can. no one can do better than that. I am very pleased to have the opportunity to speak to such a line, large, and intelligent looking audience as I have before mo this morning. I.earning that Miss Dennison wa3 to speak first, I know that there would he no chance for me to give a long speech, so I am Just going to try to bring out a few thoughts on imitation. I have taken this subject because I think it is the most appropriate for the class I represent. I believe that my class, especially with the boys, has more imitation concerned in Its studying than any other class in the room. If some one starts the study period out with rubbers. everybody throws lubbers, but if they had started out with chalk, the air would have been full of chalk. Strictly speaking, this is not studying, but it shows that we arc a very ambitious class and try to find some use for every minute of our spare time. And as you have all heard, A Uttl® pleasure now and then is cherished by the most of men” and some women. This is not done with any intention of annoying the teachers. On the contrary we try to avoid this as much as possible. We do the most of it when they are out of the room, or at least when we think they arc cut of the room, or at least when they do we make up for lost tim.?. Few of us realize how much Imitation has to do with our everyday life. It’s a thing that none of us can avoid. A few things that were done in ancient times are still done in some countries today. It is through imitation alone that these few old customs have come down to us. One of th,« most noticeable examples of imitation is fashion. At the Senior party I couldn't help but notice the interest all the boys took in Robert Vail’s new necktie. By the time of the next party it wouldn’t surprise me if all the boys and the faculty were wearing these amusing little bow ties. Speaking of fashions reminds me of a very amusing incident. At that Freshman party we all missed Bret Brooks, especially the girls. Bret’s one great desire seems to have a pair of long pants Just like the big boys wear. He ordered a pair but to his great disappointment they didn’t get here in time for the party. Bret stayed at home! Wallace Ingland, after learning of Bret’s disappointment, walked out b?re about a mile and a half and returned with Bret’s girl. I think this is a very peculiar example of imitation. After all Bret ought to feel very grateful to Wallace because if It hadn’t been for him, Ruth would have had to stay at heme just because Bret didn’t have any pants. I don’t think It is very necessary for me to give any more examples of imitation of fashions as there seems to be plenty of them scattered around the room. The pccplo or class of pec pie that we Imitate has more to do with cur ruccess in lit' than any other thing. We all should have some particular aim In life and try to have everything we do help us along in that direction. 1 knew of a boy that was graduated from the higii school without the slightest idea of what he was going to do. Now. after several y. ars in which he has accomplished nothing, he wants to enter college but rtill he has no idea of what he wants to take up. This is one person that we should avoid imitating. This isn’t so important with girls, however, as most of them a em to have no trouble in deciding what they would like to do. Of course, in either case, we might be unable to do what we would like to do. I think, seeing that woman's suffrage has become so general all over the country, no matter what cur aim in life is. it would be a good idea for us boys to take domestic science and domestic art. In conclusion I have a few words of advice for the eighth grade and freshmen. You are Just beginning your high school life. For some time what yen do here will probably be in imitation of these that were here when ycu came. Be careful and don’t Imitate tlte Sophomores too closely. If you do you will be making a bad mistake. My advice is thn? you take some one besides us for a model of what you expect to be here, and save yourselves trouble. 1 thank you for your kind attention.

She immediately commenced a discourse on lecture courses. Mr. Spitler was charmed by her rapid flow of excellent and well modulated English and was about to sign a contract for ten more expensive numbers than we have ever had here, for next winter, when Mr. Blanchard glided into the room and his calm composure caused Mr. Spitler to suddenly retreat to sanity.

Miss Davis (in Am. Hist.)- What can you say in regard to the tariff question of 1909? Sim— Do you mean the Monroe Doctrine?” It has keen rumored that Miss McCauley needs much more sleep than most p. ople. Must be she didn't get much sleep before she struck Hart. Miss Davis - What is the Civil Service?” Wachter— I couldn’t understand It. it was so dense.” Miss Adair- Where was the porter? Dennert—Asleep. Miss A. Yes he slept late because the night before he had been drinking and having a good time. Adair sure knows a good time when she hears about it. Down in the Kindergarten room there is a picture of a man with very long hair. One day little IxjuIs, the Greek.” was looking at it and someone asked him who It was.

Page sixty eight THE STAFF -After Hayo sixty-nine An Observation on High School Students When lho school spirit ebbs so low that it is impossible to gf.t enough men out for a baseball team, it is time something was done. No school without the solid and enthusiastic bucking of the entire student body can hope to do much in the way of High School Athletics or even In promoting good times in the way of parties and picnics. Hart High School used to be noted for the school spirit manifested by all students both male and female. Then why not to-day? Why is it. that the old time” pep should not prevail to-day as it used to do? Why is it that students lay down on the studying? Is it the student iKtdy's fault, or is it the Faculty? I say it with absolute assurance, that it is NOT the Faculty; and then it must be the student body. But why should the student body not have school spirit? Thank goodness some of them have. The trouble must lie in the Individual students, and from observation there is where I place the blame, boys and girls alike. In our good old Senior Class of '20 was a striking example. Our girls were divided into two distinguished clans. Think of it! High School students becoming clannish! There is one place where the trouble lies. We had a backward year in football. Why? We had the beef and yet we lost because of the most despicable form of lack of school spirit, the lazy yellow” bluffer! There is no use of my mention- ing any names because every -student knows whether he did the right thing by his high school or not. However, if I were to go on condemning high school students I wouldn't be giving them all a fair deal, but I mention that “bunch” first simply to get them out of my system, not because they stand first in my estimation, not by any means. Now to those students who do not come under the first classification, and there are many, I would say a word in praise. Oh yes. I know you will blush, but surely not from shame as did those in the first classification. providing there were any still capable of It. It is up to you loyal students to bring back that H. S. spirit and keep alive the institution and keep up the athletics of all forms in good old Hart High. Your reward for these things may not come to you in 11. S. but you can look back and have the satisfaction of realizing that through your effort Hart High School was bettered and your own class given more prominence because you did a little more than your share. To our splendid faculty of this year as well as to those of our earlier H. S. life we give a rising vote of thanks, and I know this motion will be carried because it is so well deserved. To you old Hart High with your many pleasant associations with my life I say a sad. yet fond, farewell. THREE CHEERS FOR HART HIGH!

First he made the statement that frr.rn then on anyone who slammed the door would get a demerit; this failing to relieve the mental pressure, he decided to open tire safety-valve a little further. He passed the ruling that neither should there he any moving around nor would he wilfully give the permission to anyone to speak. Still the pressure was above the capacity of the boiler. The room was practically quiet. For once in the history of the Hart High School no one was talking. Everybody that came in or went out of the assembly took the greatest pains to shut the door without letting it slam, there was no opening here. Alas, he spied Elsie and Esther about to whisper about some business. “Elsie Brandel and Esther Henson take front seats, he snapped. At last the pressure was down to normal. r— Compliments of DEPOT STORE L, Fred Lorenz V--- —f Compliments of W. E.
