E Don’t forget that you have just as good a E local market for your dairy product as any E distant city market. We pay cash and our = price will average up. You don’t have to E take our word for it.

A little later in the year we chose class officers to help our class teacher; Miss Lardner, to guide us through the year. Our class officers were. Cecil Purdy, Floyd Puffer, Helen Tate, Helen Spitler. In our Freshman year we gave a dancing party which proved to be a great success and it would not do to omit the great victory we won when playing basket ball with the other three classes, it was a shining silver cup, with Freshmen. ’24 engraved upon it. Our Sophomore year proved an even greater success. We gave another dancing party; won even greater laurels in basketball and gave a two-act farce called Pat O’Flarity. Our class officers were: Ruth Jacobs. Roy Coddington, Clyde Lombard and Dorotha Tyler. Now. here we are, Juniors, just one more short year and our high school work is done. To start the year out right we gave our annual party. Everyone there had a very enjoyable evening. Our J-Hop is yet to come and Mr. Chamber-lain, our class teacher, promises us it will be the best ever given. We are working very diligently on it. The Junior girls showed more enthusiasm this year in basket ball than ever before, and will very likely make the first team next year. The event which secured our fame was the Junior Play, which showed the players their ability in acting as amateur dramatists. The class officers for this year are: Cecil Purdy. Hazel Gobin, Clyde Lombard, Helen Spitler. Bernice Bruckman. Genevieve Wachter. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The present Sophomore class entered high school in the Fall of 1924. We elected the following officers: Bonnie Weeks, president; Ida Arnold, vice-president; Keith Dayharsh. secretary; Merle Hale, treasurer. On Valentine’s Day we entertained the high school with a dancing party which was a great success. We were green as most Freshmen, but with the guidance of Miss Boyd, we completed a successful year. In the Fall of 1925 we again resumed our high school duties, but now as Sophomores. As it is customary, we elected new officers, which are: president, Willie Schilhaneck; vice-president. Sears Crosby; secretary. Byron Jensen; treasurer, Willis Russell; and Miss Pruden was appointed as our class teacher. Our class was well represented in athletics, the declamatory contest and other high school activities. The week before Spring vacation, we gave a dancing party. Although our class colors are blue and gold, we decorated the auditorium in green and white in honor of Saint Patrick. Punch and wafers were served as refreshments and a good time wras enjoyed by all. Now that our high school career is half over, we feel that we can ascend one more step of the ladder and tackle the work of the next two years with vigor. Hazel Blackmore. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES ...B 43 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY In the year of 1925. on August 31st, about fifty-six timid Freshies entered the assembly room and with much difficulty found seats. They tried to look as casual and dignified as the older students, but found it rather difficult. Of course, we made many embarrassing mistakes, such as appearing in Chemistry classes in place of Algebra, or rushing in upon a Senior class of French, only to be told that the “Latin class is the next period.” But we finally got straightened around and tackled the year’s studies with much energy. Our class officers were elected as follows: President—Maude Cole Vice-President—Dorothy Lombard Secretary—Vivian Kokx Treasurer—John Norgaard The class teacher was Miss Pear and under her efficient guidance we gave a Spring Dancing Party in April. Our class colors, scarlet and grey, played an important part in the decorations of the auditorium. It was the last class party of the year and according to the Freshmen’s idea, it was the biggest success of the season. Several of our members entered the Declamatory contest with the Sophomores and two of them won prizes. This was held with the Junior and Senior Oratorical contest. Our class was also well represented in the athletic field. We feel as though wre have made a successful entrance into High School life and are eagerly looking forward to the advanced position as Sophomores, when w'e, in our turn, may look down upon the humble Freshmen of next year. Dorothy Lombard EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY During the summer of 1925, a certain group of boys and girls in Hart were looking forward with much interest and some with fear, to the opening of school. These were the members of the eighth grade, who were to enter high school. On the morning of August thirty-first, forty-five boys and girls waited anxiously to enroll. The first day we felt dizzy most of the time for we had to move to another room every time the bell sounded. During the second day, after one of our classes had begun, Mr. Bleecker ushered into the room two embarrassed boys who had been unable to find the class room. We had. also, great difficulty in learning the location of our seats in the assembly room. However, we soon learned the routine of the day, and our work progressed rapidly during the fall. At Christmas time we had a class party. A group of the class members entertained the rest with a dramatization of Dicken’s “Christmas Carrol.” We exchanged presents and partook of refreshments. On the evening of February thirteenth, we held our annual eighth grade party in the auditorium. The evening was spent playing games, while a valentine box added pleasure to the evening. Refreshments of ice cream and wafers were served. The entertainment and refreshment committees, headed by Margaret Schaner and I oraine Spitler, deserve much credit for the good time they planned for us. During the winter w'e enjoyed practicing basket hall one evening a week. At the beginning of the second semester we organized a current event contest. The losing team planned a picnic and furnished the supper for the winning team. In the Spring the class raised money with which to buy pictures for the eighth grade home room. The credit for the success of this happy year has been due, in a large measure, to our teachers. Miss Linsday and Miss Davis. As it is quite impossible for us to express our appreciation, we simply say, wre love them. Lorraine Spitler Lyllian Wyckoff 44 ............................ THE HARTIAN, ’26 Junior Party The first party was given by the Juniors, Friday evening, November 13. The auditorium was artistically decorated in the class colors orange and black. Music was furnished by Miss Hansen Russell Marsh and Norwood Griffin. Later in the evening refreshments consisting of cider and doughnuts were served. A good time was reported by all. Football Party After the hard work of practicing and playing football, a party was given in the honor cf the team, Saturday night, February 6. The auditorium was cleverly decorated in red and white crept paper and hearts of red paper. Music was furnished by Miss Hansen, Russell Evans and Norwood Griffin. Refreshments cf punch and wafers were served. Everybody enjeyed themselves immensely. Senior Party The Seniors entertained the high school students and their parents, the faculty and the school board at a dancing party Saturday evening, February 20, from 8 to 11. The auditorium was decorated in flags honoring Washington’s birthday. Serpentine was thrown during the grand march Music was furnished by Miss Hansen, Russell Evans, Russell Marsh, Carlton Bennett and Harry Sorenson. Refreshments of “ cold dogs” were served. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all. Sophomore Party The Scphomores entertained at a dancing party given March 18, Friday evening, to the high school. Decorations of green and white, featuring St. Patrick’s Day were very clever. The lights were so arranged that they flashed from the corners of the room or gave the effect of moonlight. The orchestra consisted of Miss Hansen, Harry Sorenson. Russell Evans and Carlton Bennett. Refreshments of punch and wafers were served. The party proved a great success and everyone enjoyed themselves. Freshman Party On Friday night, April 16, the Freshmen gave their first high school party. As usual it was a dancing party. The music was furnished by Miss Hansen. Russell Evans, Carlton Bennett, Harry Sorenson and Russell Marsh. The auditorium was cleverly decorated with scarlet and grey crepe paper. Pussywillows, ferns and porch swings were med to remind us spring had come. Refreshments of raspberry ice and wafers were served. The party was very successful and proved that the Freshmen had the ability to entertain. Junior Hop The annual Junior-Senior reception was held on Friday night. May 28. The banquet was held in the Congregational Church, after which a dance was given in the High School auditorium. The Church was decorated with the Junior class colors of orange and black, and the auditorium in the Senior colors, purple and gold. The Wolverine orchestra furnished the music for the dancers. The Seniors take this opportunity of thanking the Juniors and their class teacher, Mr. Chamberlain, for this splendid banquet and entertainment.

During these years, a great deal has been done to assure the success of this branch of high school activity. It has helped to serve the purpose of awakening the people to an interest in debating. Athletics has been in the schools for years. It has awakened public interest so that now, athletic games have a large attendance. We believe that the time will come, when debating will also awaken public interest. Debating not only helps the speakers to develop their intellect and oratorical abilities, but it also helps them to present a fair and unprejudiced opinion of great national problems to the patronizing public. The question for debate was: RESOLVED, That the United States adopt the proposed Child I abor Amendment. The Amendment referred to is as follows: Section 1—Congress shall have power to limit, regulate .and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen years of age. Section 2— The power of the states is unimpaired by this article except that state laws shall be suspended to the extent necessary to give full effect to legislation enacted by the Congress. Affirmative and negative teams were organized under the excellent coaching of Miss Helen Brien. The affirmative team consisted of Lucille Claeys, Mary Kraus and Kenneth Smith; and the negative team of Charles Juszka, Eva Critchett, and Ruth Jacobs. The initial debate was with Walkorville, in which Halt’s affirmative team won by an unanimous decision. But alas, our team journeyed to the fair little town of Cu ter, only to come to defeat before the determined ettaek of their debaters. Then the negative team staited cut on their career. Became of bad weather, Fremont was forced to forfeit the first debate. The last contest was with Montague, a school which has had a great deal of expcr.ence in debating. Our team did some very fine work; but in spite of Ruth Jacob’s splendid rebuttal. Montague’s affirmative debaters wen the favor of the judges. Duiing the course of the year two practice debates were held, one with Montague, and one with Custer. Altogether, Hart received eight points cut of a possible sixteen, four points being scored by each team. On our trip to Ludington, certain members of our teams enjoyed riding down hill, then getting out and pushing the car up the next hill. They were also delighted with the midnight party along the road, on the way back from Custer. Not only have the debates served the intended purpose of such contests, but they have also helped to establish good social relations between schools in this part of the state. Next year we will have two experienced interscholastic debaters, Ruth Jacobs and Charles Juszka. and, from the prospects set forth by the Sophomore debates, the outlook is good for the future. Kenneth Smith !■ GIRLS' GLEE CLUB In the year 1925 the Girls’ Glee Club was organized under the direction of Miss Hansen. The call for volunteers went out. A great number of the girls, realizing the importance of such a club in connection with the school, answered the call. The old adage reading, “Practice makes perfect’’ was followed closely by members of the Glee Club. The constant practicing and faithful attendance of the girls, along with the excellent leadership of Miss Hansen, accounts for its success. This year the call for more volunteers went out. Again the girls responded very well to the call. The girls are very faithful in their attendance and work hard. On any Tuesday or Thursday morning from eight to eight-thirty the girls can be heard practicing in the Normal room. The Glee Club this year has shown its ability before some village organizations and in the Spring they expect to give an operetta entitled “Windmills of Holland.” Esther Blades Qiimhiu 50 • immmmm.mm... mi..mu...... mm.m.nQ THE HARTI AN, ’2 6 HART HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA This project originated in 1!)21 under the competent leadership of Paul H. Nielson. Through Mr. Nielson’s ability to see large possibilities in small beginnings, and the definite knowledge how to develop these ideas, an orchestra was developed from the miscellaneous company of un- skilled material .which was a credit to the school. Mr. Nielson continued to conduct the orchestra for the following three years with even greater success. The annual concerts were a source of pleasure and delight to our own as well as neighboring towns. PAUL H. NIELSON Last year the orchestra was under the diiec-tion of Miss Hansen. All members testified the year was enjoyable as well as thoroughly instructive. This year the orchestra is again under the direction of Mr. Nielson, with Miss Hansen as assistant. The members of the orchestra and the director are endeavoring to get the program well in hand for the annual concert which will take place in April. The orchestra is to be congratulated for hav- ing ro capable a conductor. Mr. Nielson is ti skilled musician with a conductor’s genius, and is thoroughly responsible for the success of the orchestra. The organization of the orchestra was a very commendable piece of work, educationally, in line with that of certain large cities in the country, which, from just such beginnings, have built in a few years, institutions of sound artistic value.

Ai Chase, 2nd Vice-President. Mr. Andrew Lambrix, 3rd Vice-President. Mrs. J. W. Spitler, Secretary. Mr. Charley Harris, Treasurer. Earl C. Pugsley, Pres. There is no need of giving the history of the Hart Parent Teachers’ Association, as it was published in previous editions of the Haitian. It is, however, worthy to note its steady growth and the fact that more parents are becoming actively engaged in the Association. During the first years of its existence, the programs were composed of music and short discussions of timely topics by those present, usually, with some one appointed before the meetings, as a leader. This year quite an innovation was made and the programs were in charge of different educational and social groups. One of these groups, the teachers, featured a typical recitation, music by the high school Glee Club, and the children of the grades, and a talk by Mr. Thomas Reid, of Shelby. The Indies’ Literary Club and The Progressive Club each gave a program of merit in which were musical numbers and illustrated travel talks on Europe by Mrs. F. C. Sherman. The Board of Education had charge of another program in which Mr. L. L. Tyler, Supt. of Schools at Muskegon Heights, gave a very fine talk on present day school needs. Light refreshments were served at all meetings and a social hour was enjoyed by all at the close of each regular program. Many parents availed themselves of this opportunity to get acquainted with the teachers and thus were enabled to solve some problems of mutual interest. It is to be hoped that more of the patron’s living without the village will come to these meetings. The latest ideas in education and tho welfare of the child are discussed, also any new policy of the school. It is also to be desired that the patrons will receive an inspiration through these meetings to visit the school during school hours. The regular meetings of the P. T. A. are held in the High School Auditorium the second Tuesday evening of each school month. You should attend not only for what you will get out of it but for the inspiration you will give to the others. cn 0 K3 2 BASEBALL TEAM, ’25 Standing: Francis Barclay, Elmer Palmiter, Carl Shogren, Byron Jensen, Theodore Hodges, Coach Chamberlain Seated: Karl VanSickle, Carl Guottler, Ralph Seeger, Floyd Weeks, Frank Walsworth, Clare Shull.

The next game was a disastrous one for us. Shelb gave us a good drubbing on her own field by holding us scorless, 9-0. Then came Walkerville, a comparatively weak team, whom we easily defeated in a game marked by the consistent hitting of the Hart squad, score 11-6. The following Saturday we journeyed to Scottville, to mix blows with the crack team of that town. The game was marked by spectacular playing on both sides with Hart leading up to the ninth inning, when Scottville, aided by the breaks of the game and a little luck, scored four runs and won out 6-5. Our next game was at Walkerville where we won another easy victory, 10 - 2. The following week we annexed a couple of easy victories by trouncing Montague here, 18-6, and later on beat Pentwater in an exciting game, the score being 12 - 9. Shelby again invaded Hart with a determination to win and this was accomplished only after nine innings of league baseball was played, 4-2. Scottville was our next victim due to the fact “Bozo” Walsworth was out to get revenge, the score was 9-2. We w'ound up our baseball season by beating Pentwater 14-8 and Montague 22-6. This was the most successful season Hart had ever enjoyed in baseball and prospects are bright for next year w ith a number of regulars back. XXX FOOTBALL, ’25 A glance at our football season will show a supposedly unsuccessful season, but wait; Hart’s men, at the start of the season, were all green and inexperienced and most of them had never handled a football. They were badly beaten during the first three games w’hen they stacked up against Muskegon Reserves, Manistee and Ludington, and because of our light team. Coach Rakestraw’ stressed more and more the fundamentals of passing, in hopes of perfecting a passing game. From then on our playing improved, and with the reporting of Ma-tulis. Weeks and Marsh, who seemed to instill more fight and spirit” into us, we proved a stumbling block to the highly heralded Muskegon Heights team. The following wreek we played Ludington on her home field and in a stubborn game we held them to two touchdowns. Our next game was at Fremont where we played the claimants of the Class C Championship. They presented a very heavy team that we held for three quarters but went down in the last minutes of play. Then came our bitter struggle with our ancient enemies, Shelby, who were able to beat us by a lone touchdown. In the next game we completed fourteen passes to their none, but w’ere unable beat them. This ended what appears to be a disastrous season but the players wrho report next year will profit by the experience they have gained this Fall. Frank Henderson ORGANIZATIONS ...B 57 s BOYS' BASKET BALL With a veteran team we opened our basket ball season by taking on Walkerville in a practice game. They gave little opposition and were forced to go home on the short end of a 72 - 10 score. We next played Manistee, the Northern Champions and were defeated 25-16. In the next game we played the crack Muskegon Heights team, and after being behind for three quarters the Heights team came hack and played over“our heads” and won from us, 31-20. The following week we journeyed to Luding-ton where we gave a demonstration of basketball and beat them 21-11. Then came our exciting game with Shelby on their home floor. We made them look slow and came home on the long end of a 32 - 19 score. Our next game was with Whitehall, here, and we easily drubbed them 55 -15. This game ended the careers of two of our veteran basket ball players, Russell Marsh and Floyd Weeks, who were ineligible on account of the nine semester rule. With our newly organized team we easily beat Shelby 21 -10, a feat that showed our supremacy over them. We next played Fremont, who had not lost a game this season and were beaten by one point in the hardest played game of the year, 22-21. Then came our slump. Muskegon Heights beat us 30-15. and, on her own floor, Shelby managed to trim us by four points, 22-18. Before the game was played wfe thought w'e could easily win. The following week came our fourth game of the season with Shelby. In this we got revenge by trimming them 26-9. Our last game was an easy one with Ludington in which we w on 32 - 7. This ended our regular schedule. Tournament The tournament w'as held at Muskegon. We left here Friday noon and that night, we played Montague. This game proved a Jonah to us. for in the opening two minutes of play Matulis, star center, twisted his knee and was lost to the squad. The game was slow' with Hart on the long end of a 25 - 9 score. The next night we played Shelby for the Championship. Matulis w’as unable to run or hardly walk, yet insisted upon playing, but w’as unable to perform in his old style. The score was 6-6 at the half, but they increased the lead five points, w hich they held until the end score, 17 - 12. Second Team The second team presents a rather enviable record, only losing one game out of eight. This one w’as lost to Whitehall in a close game 18-17. They scored two victories over Pentwater; 16-9; 30-12; two over Mears, 30-11; 26-7; and ended their season by taking two from Shelby Seconds, 15-10; 15 1 9. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL The girls’ basket ball team of 1925-26 was organized under the supervision of Miss Pear, who proved to be an excellent coach. The team elected Miss Silvia Fisher for their captain. The girls started the season with a fast game with Walkerville. Walkerville could not hold a candle to our girls. The game ended with a score of 49-3 in favor of Hart. The next game was with Muskegon Heights, which ended with a score of 31 - 29 in their favor. The girls did splendid work, being opposed by the champions of last year. Then came the first game with Shelby. This was one of the most exciting of the season. The teams wrere evenly matched and the game ended with a score of 22 - 20 in Hart’s favor. The next one was also with Shelby, ending with a closer score of 28 - 27 in our favor. This was considered remarkable for the girls, for they had lost one of their very best players and the captain of the team, Miss Sylvia Fisher, but her place was filled very well by a Junior sister, Miss Luella McLouth. Miss Jean McLouth w as chosen captain to succeed Miss Fisher. The next game was again with the champions, Muskegon Heights. We lost with a score of 28- 12. Then we had another game with Shelby. This game ended with a larger score for us, 24-17. And still another, and the last game, w'ith Shelby ended with a score of 30-19 in our favor. The last game of the season was with Ludington. In the third quarter our girls pulled off a stunt by changing positions. Hart won with a score of 32-11. Our second team was very good, too, losing only one game out of five. I am sure I can safely say that this year has been the most successful for the girls’ basket ball team ever in Hart High’s history. B.. 58 H THE HARTIAN, ’26 ’LEST WE FORGET By H. V.

On top of the hill on which I was standing, small shrubs of different kinds had begun to grow. The buds on the trees had swelled until they looked as though they might burst almost any moment. The limbs waved to and fro more strongly than they had since their leaves had fallen the autumn before. This was because of the refreshing sap which traveled to every twig in the tree. This sap had been stored away in the roots of the tree all winter long, and not one drop had reached the limbs for four months. As I looked westward in the valley below. I could smell the sweet fragrance from the sugar camp and see pails hanging from every maple tree. I also could see many birds, such as robins, bluebirds, and blue jays. All these signs of spring tilled me with new' energy which I had seemed to have lost during the long dreary days of winter. I felt like working; cleaning the yard, mending the fence, and doing other numerous things which are necessary in the spring. By Carl Morat Mr. Rakestraw Oh! Mr., ve like yu vay down in de hart.

(By Not-so-far-off.) How to Get to School on Time Getting to school on time may be difficult for some people so I am offering the following suggestions to those. First of all, secure a good alarm clock and be sure to wind it every night before you go to bed. Sit the alarm for five o’clock! This will give you time enough to decide exactly how: much longer you can remain in bed. Your clothes should be placed on a chair very carefully, and the chair set near your bed. By this, you will not have to waste time searching for them in the morning. Then, after dressing yourself, rush down stairs and put your head under the faucet of running water (and your hands too!). Run the comb through your hair, once! Rush to the table and in the next two minutes see how much food you can swallow. Now dive for the door, (at the same time, grabbing your hat) and gallop to school with all speed! If you follow' the instructions carefully, MAYBE you will arrive at school on time. By John Greiner Lambrix vs. Purdy ’Twas on a “tieless” day, When school let out, That Lambrix and Purdy Had a one-round bout. Lambrix stepped into the hall To take off Purdy’s tie; Purdy doubled up his fist And hit Lambrix in the eye! Lambrix then came back With blood in his eye. Hit Purdy once— Thus made it a tie. Purdy got mad And with a great blow Hit Lambrix again— Then three times in a row. THE HARTIAN, 2 6 □ 011IIIIMI 60 H Then along came the principal. Showed his teeth like a comb; Put a stop to the fight. And sent them both home. By W. E. Greiner When I Bring My Report Card Home. The noon I received my report card, I ran home just as fast as I possibly could. I got home a few minutes before my brothers and sisters arrived. I ran up the stairs, went into the nearest clothes clcset, switched on the light, locked the door, and slowly—slowly, I pulled out my report card from the envelope. My eyes first came to rest upon a big 74—then I also saw a 95. I thought that maybe I could put n� y hand over the 74 while mother was signing my card, but decided not to attempt it. While I was trying to decide what to do, my brothers and sisters came racing into the house. “Oh, mother,” cried one of my sisters, “I didn’t get one red mark, and I’m carrying five subjects too! Hurrah! Hurrah!” I thought if I had worked harder, I might say the same. I managed to go down the steps quietly. I heard my Father saying something about the senselessness of receiving a red mark. I couldn’t decide whether I should take my card to Father or Mother . Finally I took it to Father. Afterwards. I wished that I had asked Mother to sign it. By Florence Butler. Bills One day w'hen I was fishin' On the lake just cut beyond, I hooked a little sucker That was livin’ in the pond. He made an awful racket On that big bamboo of mine, I thought that when he jerked so hard I’d lose him off the line. But courage grew at every pull; The time passed on quite fast, And suddenly I gave one haul That landed him at last. I took the prize up to my “ma. And wrhen she saw the fish— My feet were always in the wrong, And on this fishing trip I stepped upon the old hen’s nest, Which made the old hen yip. And quick she made a dash for me, And in my tender skin. She jabbed her BILL about an inch, And then she left it in. So since that little fishing trip, I had that gloomy day, I’ve had so many “bills” hit me , That Lord knows how I’ll pay. F. E. W. A High School In Utopia As you approach the building along the shady street in a luxurious limousine, your attention is immediately drawn to a gigantic, white marble edifice of dazzling splendor. There are green lawns with much shrubbery and winding drivers. Upon nearing one of the entrances, a liveried footman helps you out of the car and takes your golf bag, ukelele, tennis racket, etc. You ascend the steps and after entering the automatically operated doors, another man in attendance takes your wraps and hands you your books, (for studying at hime Is strictly forbidden). You amble down the hall to noiselessly moving stairways which speedily whisk you up to your classroom. In case of tardiness, you are excused from classes for the rest of the day and a passing mark is given you in all your subjects. Exams or tests are unknown. School staits at half past ten and lets out at twrelve. The ninety-minute day is divided into six periods, and during the intermission between classes, refreshments are served. After twelve o’clock, you may spend ycur time in any manner you wish. An orchestra is provided for dancing and the athletic buildings are always kept open. Early in the afternoon, after a round or two of golf, and a refreshing dish of ice cream from the school seda fountain, you call the chauffeur from the school garage and take a drive through the park before returning home. Thus ends one day in the “High School of Utopia.” By Louis Price My Wife She told me in a roughened voice. It wras my twenty-eighth big year ’Twill not stink up a dish. I’d lived on earth without a fear. But now, alas! I n’er shall know Co in sore plight, I wrent agin. Another year to go just so. To fish for larger luck; And on my way I stopped abrupt; I heard an old hen cluck. I’m married now and live a life Of troubles crowding me and wife! Qin... LITERATURE -0 61 The rent, the many little things. To me, a lot of trouble brings. My wife gets cross and lets things fly Around the house at me. Ah, my! The rolling pin is wearing flat— And so life goes, first this—then that! I’D get along but for my wife. She likes to cause a little strife Because she knows that I am scared, And wouldn’t hurt her if I dared. F. E. W. Springtime Springtime has arrived. We hear the robins sing. The bluebird and the meadowlark Spread forth their feathered wing. The peony and the roses Push forth their bursting buds. And even the small, green earth worm Wriggles up from his cell of mud. Now all these things we see and hear, Are signs of spring, we know; So let’s begin spring work at once E’er summer breezes blow. By Earl Freeborn The Approaching Pack We could hear them long before we could see them. Their long, drawn out howls, sounding not unlike the wind blowing through the trees or whistling around the corner of the cabin. We knew that wolves were after us, and what was more, they were on a hunt for food. In the North the wolves are the most dangerous of wild animals when they are hungry. It was getting dark, so we stopped and started our camp. We sent one of the guides up to the top of a hill to see if he could sight the pack Two or three miles back and spread out in fan shape, he could see them following our sled tracks. He called to us, from the hill, to come and see them. As they came closer we could see that they were grey timber wolves and very large. We knew that they wouldn’t attack us in daylight, so we gathered a large pile of wood that we might keep a fire burning all night. We had just got the fire built when the wolves reached us. As it grew darker, the wolves drew up in a circle about the fire. We could see their eyes snapping, they were so close. When the fire would go down, they would keep coming in closer and then, when the fire was replenished. they would draw back again. We had to keep this up all night. At dawning, the wolves began to thin out, and by daylight they had left us, to search for other game. By Byron Jensen. Basket Ball Scrubs The whistle sounds for scrimmage And the ball sharks fall in place They act in stately maner With a big smile upon each face. They yell ,and pat eacher other, on The way they’re goin’ to play And when the horn is sounded They are ready for the fray. But lingering on the ball court Is a group of face scarred lads The “regulars” are waiting In their nice becoming fads. But these that slowly labor To their places on the court, Are called the “scrubs” by people All, who follow up the sport. This group is looked upon as nothing Placed against the regulars They can’t succeed in winning And they take a lot of slurs. But do not laugh or jeer them. For fellow students are they. And success is what they give To the “regulars” who play. F. E. W. -----------H---------- States of Younited Septober de 10. Mine deer frend Jeen— I take up my fountain pen und rit yu mit led pensil.

Advice Life comes to us a precious thing; We seldom make a name until Our spongy soul to us doth bring The knowledge that leads up the hill. When we are children running ’round, We learn the many childish ways; And then wre raise up from the ground, To look ahead for better days. Though when we reach a riper age, More troubles cross our paths of life; The bright side is the only rage To look to, in the days of strife. Then listen folks, both young and old— Our lives are short, and time is dear; So don’t feel bad but do as told; Make life seem happy every year. F. E. W. A Prize Fighter’s Lullaby To be sung to the tune of ‘Love’s Old Sweet Song’. Once in those dear dead days beyond recall. When on your nose the mits began to fall. Out of the dreams that rose in painful throng, Low to your head a string of stars grew long. And in the sleep where mysteries came to light You faintly thought about your little fight. (chorus) Just a leather mitten, bounced upon your nose Then a flickering moment, staggering on your toes Tho the time be weary, sad the fight and long, Still to you comes mittens, far from the gong. Yes, longtime, until the gong. The High School Flapper ‘Blessings on thee little dame. Bare of neck and knees the same; With thy sheik bob’s jaunty grace, And thy lovely made-up face; With thy rolled down silken hose, And thy thin, transparent clothes, With thy red lips reddened more. With thy lipstick from the store; With all my heart, I give you—joy! Thank goodness I was born a boy.” Qiiiiiiii LITERATURE ..0 63 GOOD IDEA Mr. Chamberlain: “Herbert, we have now used hydrogen gas with good results, now what will happen if w e pass hydrogen sulphide gas into this room ?” Herbert Brandel: “We would probably all move.” PUZZLING Mr. Rakestraw: “What are you buying that extra ticket for?” Weeks: “For my brother.” Mr. Rakestraw: “Your brother doesn't wear skirts, does he?” PROMOTED FAST We see that President Charles Walker has got a new reserved seat in the assembly.
