The Virgil class was quietly seated ready for work one day when Tessora Seymour and Eleanor Dennert started to talk.

We will try to give, as accurately as possible, a record of the youth and spirit that is brimming over in our High School, the hopes and regrets that we all hold so dear, and the many glorious times that we have had, while here, that have made us better, we hope, and give us a broader and more optimistic outlook. Any errors that may appear in this book, we trust will be pardoned, as it is inevitable that they should be found in any publication of this kind. —THE “HARTIAN” STAFF.

Among the throng were many scared, unimportant-appearing boys and girls but out of those insignificant-looking little Freshmen arose the largest, liveliest and best class that has ever graduated from Hart High School, the class of 1923. We found we had many things to learn. Among the first were the time and place of our classes. Bewildered and terrified, we rushed from room to room not daring to ask the upper classmen where the History and Mathematics rooms were. After finding the long looked for refuge we sank down in our seats with sighs of relief. Owing to the novelty of our surroundings a few weeks went by and a few red marks were passed out before we realized that we were not there for the purpose of entertaining our schoolmates. We bravely endured the tortures of Algebra and Latin but all was not work; our party and picnic more than rewarded our efforts. The following autumn we again gathered and conscious of our superiority, we watched with amusement the antics of the Freshmen. Our class was smaller than formerly for some of our throng had dropped out and perhaps they will some day realize what they missed in the line of Geometry, Caesar and Modern History. With practically the same teaching force we soon became accustomed to our new routine. After a second three months vacation we again returned, hardly suri assed in knowledge by the Seniors. Our class was strengthened by the addition of students from Meats and El-bridge. At the end of our third year we entertained the Seniors with a reception of which we have a right to feel proud. The organization of the Senior class is as follows: President, Francis Dtessel; Vice President, Eleanor Dennert; Treasurer. Norwood Ingland and Secretary, Hazel Johnson. Our colors are blue and gold and our class flower, the blue and yellow iris. The Senior play was “The Wrong Mr. Wright, ’ an original comedy in three acts. This class, which has always taken an active part in athletics, is well represented in both basketball and football. Now as our last year is drawing to a close we are experiencing pleasure mingled with regret; pleasure that we have attained that for which we have been striving and regret that there remains but a short time in which we may all be together. Within a very few years our class will be scattered and perhaps represented in all parts of the world, but Seniors! Let us remember that however far apart we may be and whatever occupation we may be following, we must always live up to our motto: “Rowing not Drifting.” H. J.

We recall somewhat indistinctly that we entered the large assembly as fifty-six timid Freshies and that we all had very hard times finding our classes and desks. Miss McCauley became our guide and we soon learned to be accustomed to the ways of High School life. We surprised the High School by giving the first party of the year. We had many other activities and good times that year. The year was closed by a picnic at Juniper Beach. September came and we no longer were Freshies but Sophomores and we felt much older. We re-entered the High School with fewer members. Miss Nichols was our class teacher. A class meeting was held and officers were elected. We gave two High School parties that year. Some of our classmates took part in Athletics. A number of our members were honored by being asked to serve at the Junior - Senior Banquet. We closed our second year in High School with another picnic at Juniper Beach. School was out once more for three months and then we came back as dignified Juniors, a class of many hopes and fewer faults. This year we were rather particular in choosing our Class officers for just think, we had a Junior Reception to give which must prove better than any so far. To head our list of our class officers we selected Mrs. Hutchins for we knew that under her capable leadership we would do all things well. Time flies swiftly and soon we will be Seniors. On May 25th we expect to give a banquet and farewell to the worthy Seniors of 1923.” Next fall we shall return not as Juniors but as Seniors and then—you will hear more about us! H. S.

The first great event of the year was the Hubble Bubble in which the class successfully conducted the Japanese Tea Room. Later in the year the class officers were elected as follows: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Ixmise Keene Rhoda Phelps Le Roy Steele Eleanor VanWickle The class teacher was Miss M. Clark. In the spring of the year the class gave a dancing party for the High School. This was our first party but it came off very nicely. The fall of ’22 marked our entrance into our Sophomore year with a few more in our class than the year before. The class teacher was now Mis. Johnson. Class officers were elected as follows: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Merle Wood Eleanor VanWickle Florence Schofield Geraldine Evans This year has been very uneventful excepting that we gave our class party in March. In this party we used a new decorative idea which proved to be very pretty. Bars of candy were served for refreshments. This was a great success. There has been no other class activities during the year. Ixmise Keene. I :: FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Everybody likes a trifle of gossip, even the old familiar rooms of the Hart High. One evening after the twelve hundred large and small feet had pattered home, a conversation took place among several of the rooms. The assembly room begins with this remark. “My first recollection of that class of ’26 was back in September 1021, when those forty-three urchins tried to over balance me, crowding around the front desk like a flock of sparrows around a worm. (Apologies to Mr. Rakestraw). Why, I thought I’d turn up side down.” Now the Mathematics Room interrupts, ‘well, Miss Shultz and Miss Taylor fiuttered around, until all the birdies were settled down in their nests within my walls. Their diet was History worms, Arithmetic bugs, Grammer cater pillars, and Reading insects.’ Assembly, scornfully, ‘what did you do to vary the diet?’ ‘Oh, we varied the diet when the Hubble Bubble came along,’ was the retort. ‘Dorothy Dayharsh barked the crowd in to see the tableau, ‘On the trail of a Deer,’ and the Bugville Art Gallery. Mr. Arthur Aldrich won the first prize in appropriately naming the contest picture, ‘One Drink Too Many.’ ‘But they made me illustrious, said the assembly jealously, ‘when the 8th grade program was given. It was called. ‘Friday Afternoon at a Country School,’ and some of the children, like little Jean McLouth, were so small they had to get up on chairs to speak their pieces.’ 'In June those sparrows turned to swans and left my shelter to build newer homes in you, enticing assembly,’ said the Mathematics room mournfully. Yes.’ recalled the assembly, ‘and in September 1922 they returned with recruits to settle down for four years, to learn to look as worldly wise as Sophs, to act as sage as Juniors, to be as superior as Seniors, and to drop the final ‘e’ before a vowel.’ Asked the Mathematics room. ‘Did they distinguish themselves in any way?’ ‘Well. I think their football pep speech galvanized the squad.’ A voice from above broke in upon the dialogue. It was the proud voice of the Auditor ium. ‘You two work rooms didn’t get to see me when I was all ‘‘prettied up’ for the Freshmen party in January. I was a purple and gold garden with hanging baskets of flowers. Six golden moons shed gentle light upon the dancers. At the stroke of nine the rising of the stage curtain disclosed a luxurious scene where two Amateur 'Theatricals’ were presented. On another occasion they brought fresh laurels back to their lair when the Freshmen girls scored a basket ball victory over the combined forces of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors.’ ‘Well,’ yawned the Mathematics room, ‘I think they’ve done very well under the guidance of their class patroness. Miss Taylor, and officers, Marion Dennert, Wayne Purdy, Dorothy Day-harsh. and Jean McLouth.’ Ar.d with the acquiescence of the other rooms they all said. ‘Good night.’ Top Row: Clarence Wing - Miss Ada Shultz - Norman Berger% - Vivian Carlton - Theodore Hodges - Ray Stanhope Carling Wallace - Roy Seeger - Theodore Weaver Third Row : Ralph Seeger - Katherine Balchius - Berthold Bowman - Althea Thurston - Caleb Lombard - Ethelyn Clark Elmer Palmiter - Laura France Second Row: Dorotha Tyler - Louis Lorime - Genevieve Wachter - Louis Price - Velma Tripp - Frank Baker - Clair Billington - Daniel Schofield Bottom Row: Luella McLouth Lawrence Snow - Helen Spitler - Joseph Schaner - Lorraine Hart - William Richmond Arline Butler - John Whalley - Margaret Seymour • • EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY In the year of 1922 the eighth grade, composed of thirty-six pupils, began its career. Some of the members dropped out and others entered, which still left us a total of thirty-six. We were all very excited the first day of school because we found that we had to study in the High School Assembly Room. Another interesting thing was our getting lost going to classes. This was very funny if you could see the other person do it; but if it were you. yourself. that became lost, it proved very embar-rasing. There have been a few social activities during the year. Our class gave our first program to the High School on February 22. We are sure every one that heard it knew it was the first one. Way down deep in our hearts each one, that took part in it, knew that he was going to forget what came next. Glad to say we didn’t make very many mistakes. To help pay the expenses of the class, a play entitled Uncle Si and the Sunbeam Club was given near the end of the year. This was a splendid success and it showed the willingness of the class to work together. The eighth grade has a boy’s basket ball team which we are justly proud. They are fast players and rival the other teams of the High School. Only time can tell how great these players may become. The year proved very successful and we owe all the tribute to our patient teachers, Miss Schultz and Miss Taylor. M. S. and D. T. • • t- I 4 — —-----------------—-------+ WHO’S WHO IN H. H.

He raid it was the hardest one he could find in Chicago. I believe him. It was just awful. I got it put together and took apart again and put together, tell I knowed it by heart He said when he gave it to me, he knowed I couldn’t do it, cause I wouldn’t live long enough. When I got it done I knowed I could cause I wasn’t dead yet. He said, too, when he give it to me that, that was the hardest puzzle I’d ever got mixed up with. I believed him then, but it ain’t so, cause I got that so I can do it and know it in my sleep, but lots of puzzles is worser than Chinese ones and them is American puzzles. They’s hardest you just bet. What puzzles me is why we kids haf to be bossed all over the State. Now. if we was our own bosses we’d have heaps more fun and do our work, too. My Ma says if she let me alone two seconds I’d be a Cherub. I ain’t got any idee what that is, cause I don’t know what it means, but if its anything like what Sis calls me, its jest awful. That’s another American puzzle. Maybe its Hindu and Hotentot and every other kind of Puzzle too, cause I guess big sisters is alike no matter where they is. Why can’t big sisters be at least half way decent? Why! My big sister won’t let me do nothin I want to. She always tells me I don’t want to do that. That’s what she says when her fellor comes to see her; when he ain’t around she just tells me I can’t. Cause she won’t let me be such a little heathen. I tell her she don’t know anything what boys like to do cause she ain't never been a boy and never will. Gee! if she was one and belonged to the gang, the organization wouldn’t last long couse she’d be telling the president what to do. Another thing that puzzles me is why there ain’t nothing left for boys to do now a days so’s they can be put in history. Now there’s George Washington put in a book, cause he hacked down his Pa’s pet Cherry tree, and then said he did. What I’d like to know is if he knowed his Pa seen him do it? Gee! I don’t deny anything either if I’m caught at it. What’d be the good? Then there’s a fellow put down cause he saw the cover poppin up and down on a tea kettle. Gee! any body can see that, that’s got any brains at all. Why, I see that every day, and I ain’t in history neither. Teacher told me I was the dreamiest boy in our grade. What puzzles me, is why I ain’t put in history cause of that, cause I can talk any way. That aught to be some thin. Believe me, these American puzzles can’t be answered by the most educated man in the whole world. Ma says I’m the biggest puzzle she ever seen. What puzzles me is how I can be a puzzle and Sis ain’t one, cause I’m her brother. And she says if I was like her I’d not be such a puzzle. So I ain’t going to puzzle any more it makes your face all wrinkled and there that looks like a puzzle too. K. D. Pests I Have Known and Still Know Bees are my favorite pests because they do not agree with me or I don’t agree with them. They have such an attractive way of puncturing you when you happen to step on their nest or try to get their honey. I don’t ree why some genius doesn’t invent a bee with cut that hat pin attachment. Bees are not supposed to have good eyesight but they have an extra good instinct that balances the inequality. But bees are useful in their own way being invaluable to agriculture although I don’t want to scrap with them. I heard that if you stand still when bees come after you they will leave you unharmed. I tried that stunt once and afterwards I felt like shooting the person who invented that theory. Another pest is the mosquito. He or she is very annoying to a fisherman who goes after trout in a swamp about 5 o’clock. I don’t see why Noah didn’t leave them cut of the ark I guess the mosquitoes slept in a corner with the toads and that’s how the toads got their warts. My Botany says that mosquitoes are hiberniverious and eat leaves of plants. When I go into a swamp there must be a famine the way they bite me. I look like a tire full of sand blisters. Mosquitoes also carry germs. Flies are nio.-t annoying to a bald-headed man (outside of mosquitoes). I guess they use his head for a dance floor, skating rink or shoot-the-shoot. It is best when it has hair-oil on it to make it slippery. It is very hard for a person to sleep when the flies are out looking for a good location for a banquet. If my head were bare I would put fly-paper, glue, molasses, tar or some other sticky substance on it ro they would have to hold their Olympic games and trackmeets elsewhere. A History of Oceana County According to the work of old historians. Oceana county ranks among the flowers of the state in regard to healthful climate, rich and fertile soil and farming facilities. The country received its name, Oceana, in 1831, we do not know how or from whom, but as it signifies “lying along side of the ocean.” it may have been named from its position on the Ocean of Inland Waters, I,ake Michigan. The first permanent settlement was begun in 184!). when six families and several single men built their homes at (’lay Banks. They chose this location because the land had been partially cleared by the Indians and because LITERARY i it was situated on the beach, where all the travel was at that time. This settlement narrowly escaped dying in its infancy, when small pox broke out, but thanks to hardy constitutions, all recovered. A few years later, the Indians gave up their ownership of the land on Grand River after selecting a reservation for themselves. The reservation, including what is now Elbridge, Crystal, Eden and Custer, was wisely chosen. For it was exceptionally fertile land, covered with excellent forests of pine and hardwood. These contained wild beasts of every scrt, es pecially deer which were a source of food supply, and were penetrated by streams abounding in fish. Gradually the Indians in these regions were supplanted by the whites who braved the dangers and hardships of penetrating the wilderness. And to these highest respect is due for entrusting their lives to a country whose outlook at that time was so unpromising and whose choice has proved so fortunate. The two central points of civilization in 1855 were Pentwater and Clay Ranks, the latter by reason of its proximity to the White River and civilization, was becoming thickly settled, so that there was no difficulty in establishing the county seat at Stoney Creek. Population increased and civilization progressed and a few succeeding years found four schools established. Smaller townships grew up and were organized and in 1864 the county seat was moved to Hart, then a tiny village with but three buildings. One of these which was used as a Court House, was on what is now the site of the Corbin building. The present Court House was built in 1874. During the Civil War, Oceana’s sons responded willingly to every call for volunteers, and one Indian company was especially reported for its gallant conduct. As the county became more thickly settled, industries became varied, and when the value of the luxuriant timber was realized, numerous companies were formed and for many years lumbering was a thriving industry. Rut no other place can excel Oceana in roil so satisfactory for the growth of fine orchards. Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, which tempers the rigors of winter and the heat of summer, the county is exceptionally well adapted to general farming and is in the center of the fruit belt. From this abundant production of fruit has grown the canning industry. Oceana boasts of a number of fine factories, the largest located at Hart. E. D. A Teacher’s Dream A certain teacher of the Hart High School was bending over a desk, industriously burning the midnight oil. Her face was drawn into one of the most terrible frowns imaginable. It was a frown that would strike terror to the heart of the stoutest wrong-doer and the savageness with which she dashed off corrections on the papers before her seemed in exact harmony with the look on her face. Somewhere in the lower regions of the house a clock chimed the hour of tw'o. with what, to the harrassed teacher, seemed insulting cheerfulness. Slowly her hand relaxed its hold on the pencil and she leaned back in her chair with a sigh of relief. “Only two more. she murmured to herself in an almost cheerful tone. Rut no move was made to resume the task so near its end and instead the wielder of the pencil sank lower in her chair, the frown changed to a look of relief and that in turn, was replaced by one of content. The contentment lingered but at last was effaced by a heavenly smile which spoke of happiness louder than if it had been shouted from the house tops, and a gentle snore proclaimed the teacher asleep. As the room with its littered desk and glaring light faded from her eyes a pleasant right took its place. She was sitting at her de k in the school room in which she held sway all day and was looking at a group of pleasant, eager youths who seemed brimming over with the success they had made of the lessons for the day. The declining afternoon sun reflected on the woodwork with a rosy glow and the birds in the trees outside seemed trying to burst their throats with the volume of song they poured forth. Swiftly the teacher went over the lessons getting prompt and correct answers wherever she happened to call for them. Even the triplets and the two chatterboxes in the second row seemed inspired with a desire to behave and pay attention. Even the language used was without a flaw—“ain’t, has saw, they wras and all the rest of the Rad English family might have been Sanskrit for all the attention these wonderful students paid them. At last the class ended and with a proud eye the teacher scanned her class book. One hundred, one hundred, one hundred in an unbroken column looked at her. She raised her eyes and beheld another teacher standing over her. With a proud gesture she started to lift her class book for the other teacher to see. when she was interrupted by the far away voice of this intruder. “You better wake up, said the voice. “Here you’ve been sleeping all night in this chair and I’ll bet to-day you’ll be crosser than two sticks. I pity those poor Juniors from the bottom of my heart.” “Oh, I’ve had the loviiest dream, cried our herione. “I dreamed my afternoon English Class gave a perfect recitation. “Yes, raid the other in a malicious tone for she was a teacher of Sophomores, “but you know' dreams go by contraries.” And that is the lesson the day brought forth to our disappointed teacher. D. H. • • LITERARY Do Boys Like Frivolous Girls Do boys like frivolous girls? In a way this question is not so hard to answer. And then again, it opens up avenues and possibilities for thought and discussion which are illimitable. However, of what type of male shall we ar:k this question? If we should inquire of a hoy who possesses the characteristics of the kinds of girls about whom we are asking this question, we should probably be answered by a bold and abrupt, “yes.” For as the old saying goes. “Birds of a feather flock together.” So where we find the firivolous irresponsible girl, there also apt to find the boy whose wants and wishes correspond. However, if we should ask a boy who was of a quiet yet jolly type, who enjoyed good, clean, wholesome fun and lots of it but yet was willing to perform his honest share of good, hard labor, we should likely get no answer at all. For under the average boy’s exterior demeanor lies a rathes daring desire to be at times, in contact with that class or rather grade of individuals whose standards do not quite measure up to his own, touching pitch, as it were. Yet he is of such a temperament and possessing that firmer delicacy which forbids him telling his desires, that he will acquaint no one of them. It is the same desire that prompts a by to play “hookey” from school or go fishing on Sunday. It is the element of risk the knowledge that we are doing wrong and knowing it, that holds the spice that draws us on. If we were to ask the boy of whom we were bust speaking, when he enjoyed himself most, I am sure that his very answer would show in what light he held the girl who thinks only of the baubles, the trivial things in life. Not for a single instant do I believe that the average boy gets the most out of living when he stoops to admire the frivolous girl. The boy who can appreciate a clean, wholesome, intelligent girl, as he would a good book, dog, hunting trip or any of the many things that make this existence of ours worthwhile, is, I believe, living to the fullest the sort of things this life and world demands and the true noblemen of this earth expect. D. S. ♦ Spring Fever Spring fever is a very serious disease, more commonly known as “the yellow dog.” It can not very easily be avoided but they say a trip to Alaska will prevent it sometimes. Many people have been terribly frightened thinking they had the sleeping sickness. It generally appears about the first time old Sol takes a shave in the spring and throws a little heat down all. But there are exceptions to this rule as well as any for some people have it all the time. The symptoms of spring fever are very peculiar and they differ in many cases. Some people just have a sleepy feeling and that is all there is to it. Sometimes it seems as if there were a small spot about the size of a croquet ball in the center of the head, which is made of iron. This is full of tiny holes which are steadily tug-tug-tugging at every atom of existence ,and have already absorbed every last particle of pep. Well! You have it! That’s all. There are several methods of attack. The mo: t common one very sudden. It comes on immediately after the mid-day meal. You will be feeling fine, then all at once it catches you. Oh Dear! You just know that you won’t be able to chop that wood or clean off those sidewalks and so you stretch out on the old easy lounge in the sun parlor and alas, the most serious stage of the awful Spring Fever is upon you and little by little wearing you away. But in a few hours you regain consciousness again and Oh Boy! The world looks good and, “Where can we go tonight?” The treatment for this disease has always been a mystery. Doctors use syrups, salves, balsams ,and usually break it up in two or three days. It is recorded that several of the cases have been miraculously cured by dad in just one treatment. C. K. To Mrs. Hutchins Tell me not, oh, Mrs. Hutchins, American History is a snap. Tell me not that it is easy To locate places on the map. Try not, madam, to convince me. That the dates you’ve taught to me, Will remain fixed in my memory For countless days that are to be. Questions in advance you give us. So we’ll have no time to play; And we’ll recite perhaps tomorrow On what we should have had today. Time is short, long are our lessons, Perhaps a few of us are lazy; But when you tell us to think faster Our minds become more dense and hazy. Certain words we must remember, Benedict Arnold was “despised,” Gates’ army was “annihilated,” And the people “terrorized.” Trust no other, howe’er brilliant When we’re copying from the board, “Waste not, young people, precious minutes,” To lose much time we can’t afford. Lives of great men all remind us We must study, never shirk. And graduating, leave our notebooks LITERARY • • I a i b So the rest won’t have to work. We are learning rather slowly, From our duty not to shrink; For Mrs. Hutchins’ favorite words are: My dear young people. Think! Think! Think! H. J. The Tragedy Exchange The woman was pale with terror. Slowly she staggered across the room, and sank into a chair. Her hand trembled violently as she lifted the telephone receiver, and called a number. Hello! Hello! Is this police headquarters? I want you to send an officer, quick. My husband is going to kill—what? No, he isn’t going to kill me, it’s himself. No, he hasn’t yet, but he's going to— Who am I? Why, Mrs. Penrose, of couisc. And I want you to send an officer— What happened? Oh, Jack and I had a quarrel over a coat that I wanted. It was only $79.50. But when I told Jack about it he threw up his hands and said, ‘woman, do you want to ruin me? Twenty dollars is my limit thi; year. Then I ran into the other room and hid my head in the sofa pillows, and pretended to cry. and waited for him to come and kiss me and tell me I could have what I wanted, like he always does. I waited a long time, but he didn’t come. Then I got up and peaked through the door. He was standing by the dresser with his coat and vest off. and I heard him mutter ‘Might as well be dead as to be ruined buying clothes.’ “He took something shiny from the dresser drawer and looked at it a moment. Then he walked very slowly into the bathroom, and shut the door. I haven’t heard a sound in there since. I just know he’s shot himself. Please send an officer quick, and--- Did I hear a shot? No, of course not. But I know he is dead by this time. What’s that? Look in the bathroom and see what’s happened? Oh, I couldn’t. I’m too nervous, please send— I must? And you’ll hold the wire? W-e-1-1, I will then, but don’t go away. Promise. I’ll be back in just a minute.’’ The woman laid down the receiver and walked slowly into the adjoining room. As she approached the little white door, her lips quivered, and she pressed her hand to her heart. A vision of what she might find beyond that door came over her, and she gasped for breath. At last summoning all her courage, she reached out a trembling hand, and slowly, very slowly, turned the knob. The officer, waiting at the phone on the other end of the wire .heard a little scream. He listened eagerly. Then, over the wire, very faintly, he heard a man’s voice: Confound it, Emily. You almost made me cut myself. Can’t you let a fellow take a shave in peace? Proverbs He who knows not. And knows not that He knows not. He is a fool—shun him. He who knows not. And knows that He knows not, He is ignorant—teach him. He who knows, And knows not That he knows He is asleep—awake him. He who knows, And knows that He knows. He is a SENIOR—follow him. A. S.

Neither team scored in the first three quarters. In the last quarter Muskegon scored a drop kick from the 25 yard line. This gave Muskegon the game and Hart lost her first game. October 7th For the second game the team went to Manistee. The field was wet and slippery, but we took them into camp to the tune of 19 to 6. “Dutch” scored two touchdowns and “Dress” the other. October 14th In the third game of the season we defeated the heavy Fremont team 1!) to 0. This game was played on our field and the crowd was conspicious for its absence. This may have been on account of the rainy weather. October 21st The next game was played with Manistee in Johnson field. A much better support was given the team and we defeated Manistee 31 to 0 October 28th The fifth game was played at Ludington against Ludington High School. We scored at will and had the ball in our possession most of the time. The Hart players became tired following the ball down the field. When all was said and done Hart stood on the long end of a 45 to 6 score. November 3rd In the sixth game of the season we went to Shelby and had the pleasure of giving them a glorious white-wash. The team was backed by as large a number of rooters as the Shelby team was. The fighting spirit of the crowd was carried to the teams and a hard fought game was played. However, the speed of the Hart team was too much for Shelby and the game ended 24 to 0. The next day Per.twatcr invaded Hart and played the seconds. Although they outweighed the second team by about 20 pounds to the man, they had to go home carrying the small end of a 19 to 12 score. The last game for the first team was played on Johnson field with Shelby’s team. A large crowd attended the game and had the fun of seeing Shelby trimmed by 40 points. The final score was 43 to 3. This game was very sweet to many Hart fans. The next day the second team went to Pent-water where they trimmed them gloriously. How gloriously? Only 24 to 0. The following men received first team letters this year. Edgar Barton Francis Dressel (Capt.) Stanley Highland George Hackett Christian Kenfield Marland Littiebrandt Leo McCulley Robert McRae Cadwell Spitler Elbert Shinn Verne Skinner Robert Vail The men who won reserve emblems were: Lester Berger Dale Hoffmeyer Russel Marsh Fred Squire Verne Wietzke Theodore Day harsh Harley Hodges Ralph Seager Willy Schlee Frank Walsworth Herbert Hackett Wallace Ingland Roy Seager K. W. Turk Don Larmie COMMENTS: A great deal of credit is due the members of the second team for the way they furnished practice games for the varsity. WANTED: A good reason why Muskegon’s football team did not appear for the scheduled return game. Laramie Barton Littiebrandt Kitchen Hackett Highland Purdy Olin (coach) Berger Spitler Conrad Skinner Vail Dressel Shinn BOYS’ BASKETBALL December 15th, the basket ball team opened the season with a home game. Grand Haven was the invading team. Three over time periods had to be played before Grand Haven won. The final score was 23 to 18. The next game was played at Manistee and ended with a victory for Hart 12 to 8. A dance was given the boys and all reported a good time. On January 10th Hart invaded Pentwater. The boys took along their basket ball suits, believing the football season over. However, when Pent water’s heavy team started football our boys showed them how the game could be played. The game ended. Hart on top and the score 8 to 9. Dressel made the star tackle of the evening. Two days later Ludington visited us and went home on the short end of a.-, to ...score. On January 26th the Muskegon Heights team played our team on our own floor. They returned home with a 14 to 8 defeat marked in their score book. Spitler cut two cords in his left hand and was out for the Muskegon Heights game and for all the games for the next three weeks. The next day we went to Grand Haven and suffered our second defeat at their hands. On the second day of February, Fremont played here and gave our team a hard battle. The game stood 13 to 13 but in the overtime period our boys scored 4 points while Fremont failed to tally. On February 9th our team dealt out a 17 to 6 defeat to Catholic Central of Grand Rapids. On February 21st the overgrown Pentwater team tried football on a larger floor with the same results as in the first game. This time the score was 10 to 11 in Hart’s favor. SOBS! TEARS! And TEETH GNASHING! On the 23rd our team went to Fremont and were defeated, burned out of a hotel at four o’clock in the morning, and had to spend all night on the way home. On March 9th our team played a return game with Ludington in Eagle’s Hall of that city. The small floor bothered our team but they brought Ludington High to defeat by 2 points. The score was 6 to 8. The next game was a defeat for the Hart High School. However, a Hart team did the trick. The team that won was made up of members of the Faculty and Alumni. It was rather a tame affair and the members of the varsity take this opportunity of thanking the Faculty team for the gentle way they used in exorting the victory. The last game of the season was played in Kalamazoo Tourney. Three Rivers was the team our team played there. They defeated our boys by 3 points. The final score being 17 to 20. The second team played two games this season and won them both. One from Scottville and the other from Shelby. The Scrubs played Fremont Second Team and were beaten by 2 points. Thus ends our famous basket ball of 23. V. H. S. Brown (coach) Fuller Brooker Johnson Hawley Osborn Joslin r GIRLS’ BASKETBALL More girls came out for basket ball this year than ever before and practice started immediately after Thanksgiving. The interest displayed by the younger girls, especially the Freshmen, insures a well-trained team for next year. Three class teams were organized and a few inter-class games were played. Our first team was not successful in our first three games but the last three were real victories. Much credit is due Miss Brown and Mr. Olin who worked with us twice a week. Olive Osborn played jumping center and for high jumping and alertness, no other girl could have taken her place. Phyllis Joslin. our quick little side center, surely played a fast game at all times. Her size never made any dfference and very seldom did her opponent have a chance to get the ball. Helen Fuller and Althea Brooker, our forwards, could be depended upon to be near the basket when they saw the ball coming their way. Their splendid teamwork was the result of hard practice and showed up to good advantage in the games. The guards, Marjorie Hackett and captain. Hazel Johnson, played with keen determination and their tireless efforts to break up the passes of the opposing team were obvious in every game. The subs, Hazel Gobin and Sylvia Fisher, deserve mention because of their ability to fill any position rendered vacant by illness. They will be promising material for next year. January 10th, the first game of the season was played at Pent water. We scored the first basket but Pentwater’s star forward turned the tide and the game ended with a score of 11 to 5 in favor of Pentwater. The first game on our tloor was played January 26th with Muskegon Heights. In that game we found out what is meant by good team work and alertness. We lost 28 to 4 but we learned a lesson and consequently harder work and more perserverance has been displayed i:i our practice. February 21st we met Pentwater on cur own floor and succeeded in making the girls of that town work hard for their victory. The final score was 16 to 10 in favor of Pentwater. The most exciting game of the season was played when the Lady Faculty met the High School Girl’s team, March 3. Due to the skill of Miss Taylor the Faculty scored two baskets. “Violet Turk was the star player of the evening. Her windmill arms intercepted every pass made by either side and her audacity in flirting with Gabe furnished amusement between quarters of the game. “Suzie Spitler was the competent referee who was hired especially for the occasion. The game ended wth a score of 12 to 4 in favor of the High School. March 9th, we played Scottvilie. The result was an easy victory for us. The score was 24 to 6. After the game, Miss Sayles, assisted by Miss Brown and Miss Kelly, treated us to waffles and coffee. Mr. Turk resumed the name “Violet” while the waffles lasted but as soon as dish-washing was mentioned he was all man and had a pressing engagement down town. Our last game was played March 23rd, when Shelby came here determined to carry home a few of our scalps. Their expectations were not fulfilled for we were the winners by a score of 46 to 15. H. J.

Twice a week after school the girls hurried to the park for a few hours of practice and although no outside games were played the participants took a lively interest in their work. We hope that neighboring schools will soon adopt Hockey as a pail of girl’s athletics because competition would develop a greater interest in the game. A great deal of exercise as well as pleasure was derived from this fascinating out-of-door sport .

This event was responded to with much enthusiasm and a number of high school pupils entered into it. This group of ambitious folk, under the excellent instruction of Professor Paul Nielsen, practised diligently two nights each week during the term, and in the spring presented the community with a fine program. The proceeds of the concert were used to buy new music, and several new instruments were also added, affording an opportunity to several people to play those instruments in the orchestra, with lessons free of charge. Thus the membership was enlarged. During the following two years the number of members gradually increased until an orchestra of about thirty-five pieces was attained. Each spring a surprisingly fine concert has been produced, the result of hard work during the term. The orchestra has come to be looked upon as a permanent institution in the school, a very important one too, for it has brought to light the hidden talent in not a few of our number. Mr. Nielsen is a fine violinist and a very able director and must be tendered our appreciation for the interest which he has shown for this work. Both teacher and pupils must be highly complimented for their ability and progress of which we are justly proud. The H. H. S. Orchestra Concert ORCHESTRA The Calif of Bagdad____________A.

He seemed to please everyone, not only by his tricks, but also by his jokes and witty remarks. This sort of entertainment seems to take with the younger people better than either lectures or musical programs. However, their elders apparently had a very good time also.

I think it is fine. What do you think of ‘The Lady of the Lake?’ ” “Oh, I think it is wonderful.” Doubting whether she knew very much about Scott’s works, he put it this way. “Well what do you think of ‘Scott’s Emulsion ?’ ” She: Oh, I think it is marvelous, the best book he ever wrote.” Naturally, a hen-pecked man feels like a worm. “How many hairs are there on a monkey’s face? Shorty: “I don’t know. How many are there?” “Well, the next time you shave just count them and see.” HOW WOULD YOU LIKE—To be a millionaire? Go to jail? To be married? To be single again? To have the doctor say: “Well, George, they’re twins?” To have your mother-in-law live with you? To be as handsome as the men in the collar advertisements? To come home and find your wife kissing the ice man? To collect on your automobile insurance? To have an automobile? To have three wishes— so’s you could make two, and then, for the third one, wish for three more, and so on ad infinitum? To join the army and ‘see the world?’ To sleep as late as you want to every morning? At what time of day was Adam born? A little before Eve. Kenfield was knocked out of breath on the football field one day. Coach Rakestraw came up and said: “How do you feel Chris?” “All right, only my breath” “Well, we’ll see if we can’t stop that,” replied the coach. Teacher: “What is a Latin race?” Johnny: “A race between a Latin pony and the teacher’s goat.” Teacher: “What does environment mean?” First Pupil: “Something that surrounds a person.” Second Pupil: “Gee, that’s a funny name for a belt.” At the lecture course one evening, it was announced that the next number would be the ‘Chimes of Normandy.’ A Sophomore in the audience asked what was said and a Freshman replied: “The Chinese Laundry.” Olin (on third floor): “Bob, put your feet on the ground.” Bob: “How long do you think my legs are?” Fitch: “Nobody ever heard of a sentence without a predicate.” Chris: “I have.” Miss Fitch: “What is it?” Chris: “Thirty days.” Mother: I don’t want you to use that ex- pression again.” Harry: “But Shakespeare uses it.” Mother: “Well then, I don’t want you to go with Shakespeare.” Mr. Turk in first hour Chemistry class: “I see we have some absentees here today.” “We’ve just begun to wonder whom he was hitting at.” Miss Fitch: “What’s a Pound Keeper?

Harl: Eleanor may not have been looking as sou If ul ly into your eyes as you imagined last night—she might have been looking into your glasses to see if her hat was on straight.” ♦ ♦ Miss Areklet put the class to working a business arithmetic problem. “Have you the correct answer?” Francis Mitchell: I’m a little bit off.” Berger: “We always knew that.” Purdy: “May I change my seat? I’m sitting next to the steam pipes.” Mr. Rakestraw: “No, you’d better stay there. You need to get used to hot places. Mason: “Why did you break your engage- ment to that school teacher?” Kenfleld: “If I failed to show up at her house every evening she expected me to bring a written excuse signed by mother.” Teacher: “A fool can ask more questions than a w ise man can answer.” Small Voice: “I w'onder if that is why so many of us flunk?” Mike stole a kiss and gave it back, and Eleanor H. believes there is still some honor left among some sort of theives. Shorty in Collins Store: “Give me a choco- late malted milk.” Johnson: “Yes sir, what flavor?” Mrs. Hutchins: “Tomorrow' we will take the life of Thoreau. All come prepared.” Mrs. Hutchins: “You w'ere not absent yesterday. Well, what did I talk about?” Dutch: “Oh, about forty minutes.” If in this book you see your name, Just smile and laugh—go on, be game. But if the joke you do not get, Keep up the work; you’ll see it yet. Naughty and Tragic The sofa sagged in the center. The shades were pulled just so. The family had retired. The parlor light was burning low. There came a sound from the sofa, as the clock was striking two, and then Olive slammed her civics, with a thankful—“Well I’m through!” If Stub hit his thumb with a hammer, would he say, “Dam-er-all?” ROOMS TO RENT—Call at the dome of Chris Kenfleld or Verne Wietzke. Edgar Barton went into a cafe after the football game at Muskegon, and ordered a bow l of soup. After examining it he found an earth w'orm in it. “Ha!

A. Some men are optimistic, hopeful, sympathetic, and progressive for the simple reason that this is the kind of food their minds feed upon. E. All He Could Afford He was a local salesman for a New York woolen concern. The depression in business being serious, he was willing to go out of the way for an order. One day, in a spirit that reflected recklessness as well as hope, he invited a prospective buyer out to dine. The guest picked up the menu, studied it, and ordered from soup to nuts. The waiter turned to the host. “What will you have sir?” The host despairingly replied: “Gimme tea and toast.” From across the table came the mildly surprised query of his friend: “What’s the matter Cohen, on a diet? “No. On commission.” What’s the Answer? The Minister: “Now' that we have finished our little study hour, is there any bright infant who would like to put a question?” Doc. Corlis: “I’d like to know if you have on pants under that night gown.” JOKES --- Nellie: “Are you going to be a stenographer Olive?” Olive: “No, why?” Nellie: “You ought to be, you are simply wonderful at taking notes and copying.” Teacher: “What does trickle mean?” Tuffy: “To run slowly.” Teacher: What does anecdote mean?” Tuffy: “A short tale.” Teacher: “Now use both in a sentence.” Tuffy: “A dog trickled down the street with a tin can tied to its anecdote.” When Harl Schnicder had to take a front seat. Mr. Rakestraw told him to cheer up because the worst was yet to come. Hazel Johnson was the next to come up in front. Poor Hazel! In speaking of Irving. Lyle Kitchen said, that the sad part of his life was when his finance died, (meaning fiance) That’s a sad part in anyone’s life! If you tell a man anything, it goes in one ear and out the other, but—If you tell a woman anything, it goes in both ears and out of her mouth. • ♦ ♦ Not So Bad Is It? Maurice returning from Civil Government class: “If women get full control in Congrers, I’ll pack my grip and go to Canada. Why it would be so cussed dry they wouldn’t even let you have milk on toast.” Miss Fitch in Community Civics Class to pupil: “What is a Pound Keeper?” Pupil: “Why it’s a person who locks after weights and measures.” Mr. Turk moved Carroll Jenson’s reat in Chemistry class up in front. She came to class one day and took her old seat. Mr. Turk: “How did you get back there Miss Jenson? I want you up here. I couldn’t stand it to have you so far away from me.” Helen Seymour translating Vergil: “And they carried the water in baskets.” Father’s Warning Voice He (lingering in the hall): “And dearest, we shall grow old together, you and I.” Her father’s voice: “Well you needn’t start doing it down there, need you?” L. A. Can’t Be Bone Tenderfoot: “How can you get down off an elephant?” Lightweight: “You can’t. You have to get it off a goose.” Postage stamps and Hart are alike. We don’t know their worth until they are licked. Isabel: “There’s a telegram from Christian. Mercy he’s been hurt in an auto accident.” Friend: “What does he say?” Isabel: “He says, ‘nose broken. How do you prefer it set, Greek or Roman ?’ ” Diebel: “I came near kissing my girl last night.” Corlis: “How’s that?” Diebel: “I asked her and she refused.” Miss Areklet: “How is it that you got such a low mark in bookkeeping?” Duncan: “Oh, everything is marked down after the holidays.” Inquiring Freshie: “Why do you carry your umbrella to school?” Mbs Taylor: “An act of kindness. It can not walk.” Kenfield: “Hey! Mason, keep away from that straw stack!” Mr. Rakestraw (after a lengthy proof): “And now, class, we have, X equals 0.” Sleepy Voice: “Gee all that work for noth- ing.” “I just got canned.” “What for?” “For good.” Anna I ouise: “Are late hours good for one?” Harry: “No, but they are for two.” Advice “Doc, can you give me a little advice over the telephone, I can’t sleep?” “Got a radio set?” “Of course.” “See if you can’t pick up a bedtime story.” Ciiconsciotis Japanese Humor In a food shop—Extract from hens.

Heredity Talking of hens,” remarked the American, “reminds me of an old hen my dad once had. She could hatch out anything from a tennis ball to a lemon. Why, one day she sat on a piece of ice and hatched out two quarts of hot water.” “That doesn’t come up to a club footed hen my brother once had,” remarked the Irishman. “They had been feeding her by mistake on sawdust instead of oatmeal. Well sir, she laid twelve eggs and sat on them, and when they hatched, eleven of the chickens had wooden legs and the twelfth was a woodpecker.” JOKES Mildred Evans at the football game in Muskegon: “Gee, don’t you hope we make a lot of home runs?” Can Liberty—Read?

Miss Fitch: “Name a man of the prerent time ,as great as Abraham Lincoln, or George Washington.” Chris, after thinking a moment: “Fred Harris.” What is the difference between life and love? Life is just one darn thing after another. I-ove is two darn things after another. Of course, its a well known fact that any man or woman who indulges in much kissing never lives to be over 35 or 90 years old. Wished Sin Could The teacher was having a bad time of it. The class wa3 very dull, or pretended to be. and seemed incapable of answering the easiest questions. “What is a person called who steals?” asked the t.acher perLuasivcly. There was no answer. “Now, Herbert,” said the teacher. Suppose I wai to put my hand into ycur packet and take out a penny, what would you call me?” A magician” replied Herbert in disconsolate voice.

You get angry with it. and yet you never swear at it.” Well, you see its this way. I don’t think the flivver is worth a damn.” Tuffy: “Mamma, will you answer just one more question? Then I won’t bother you any more.” Mother: “All right, then. What is it?” Why is it that little fishes don’t drown before they learn to swim?” What is it that is always at the bottom of the class?.

Yet. it has been great fun and after all isn’t that a good aim? If we face an obstacle, overcome it and win and in the winning do good and have, as we say, “great fun,’’ isn’t it worthy of the effort and its attendant hardships? Our work in this high school is done but in the great high school of the w'orld we can go on and make for ourselves a new and better record. We do not need, nor have we any wish to boast of our accomplishment, but we are proud of what we have created. It is our best and we can offer no other. —THE “HARTIAN” STAFF.

But I was sick in bed a week. They called it painter’s colic. C. M. R. Freshie: “I surely hate to incur a woman’s wrath.” Senior: “I’m different. I like to have ’em up in arms against me.” • • Definition of a Kiss A kiss is always a pronoun because it stands for it. It is masculine and feminine gender, therefore it is common. It is a conjunction because it connects. It is an interjection because it signifies an act. It is plural in number because it calls for another. It is usually in apposition with a hug, at least it is sure to follow. A kiss may be conjugated but never declined. If there should be another flood. Straight to this book I’d fly; If all this world should be submerged; This book would still be dry. —Dr. Corlis, M. D.
