It was one of the largest classes in school history. Our officers for the year were: Bonnie Weeks, Ida Arnold. Keith Dayharsh and Merle Hale. Our class advisor was Miss Boyd. Under her guidance our greenness began to wear off. We gave a St. Valentine’s Party which was a shining example of our ability to entertain. A year later as sophomores we began to gain recognition. Miss Pruden was our class advisor. We elected the following officers to guide us: Willie Schilhaneck. Sears Crosby. Byron Jensen and Willis Russell. We now began to be represented in school activities. The crowning glory of our sophomore year was the St. Patrick’s Party with which we entertained the rest of the high school. Juniors! We gained dignity and prestige. Miss Brien was elected to be our steersman. The class officers were: Byron Jensen, Thelma Beggs, Lenta Johnson and Willis Russell. The social event was the Christmas party at which Santa Claus helped to preside. For the amusement of the high school we gave “The American Harem, but our Junior play “The Adventures of Grandpa” was a fitting step to fame. Then on May twenty-eighth the Junior Hop. The banquet and reception were successful. The officers for our Senior year were: Willis Russell, Bill Schilhaneck, Keith Dayharsh and lxmis DeWolf. We won the Inter Class Track Championship and were notably represented in all branches of school life. We gave a musical program for the entertainment of the high school. We also gave a series of juggling acts, bringing to light some new talent. In May we gave the Senior play, “Deal ’Em Over which proved a success. The last rung in the ladder was reached. Many fell by the wayside, yet forty-four remained to graduate. On June eighth we received our diplomas and ended our high school course. We owe our success largely to Hart High School and its worthy faculty. — 22 — HART HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Eighth Grade County Normal — 23 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Junior Class Roll Front Row—Ruth VanSickle, Verneda Stout, Bud Tate, Atlee Berger, Christine Helm, Bertha Shull, Ruby VanSickle.

We had many difficulties in locating the different class rooms but when finally straightened out we had a class meeting and elected the following officers: Aland Cole. Dorothy Lombard, Vivian Kokx, John Norgaard, and Miss Pear as class advisor. The great event of the year was our Spring party given to the high school. In the fall of 1926 we again returned to school as dashing Sophomores. We now had a chance to laugh at the Freshmen going through the same routine as we did and could see the many mistakes we had made. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: Atlee Berger, Ruby VanSickle, Bud Tate and Russell Robbins. This year we entertained the high school with a St. Patrick’s party. The auditorium was beautifully decorated for the occasion. We also gave a program during rest period. Our boys entered the interscholastic basket ball tournament and brought home the cup. Our Junior year is the one we will remember the most because we are now' preparing to begin our life’s work. We elected the following officers: President, Helen Weirich; vice-president. Maurice Johnson; secretary, Phyllis Tate; and tieasurer. Sears Crosby. The first part of the year we gave a dancing party to the high school. During rest period we entertained them with a short play, “The Last Day of School.” As customary, the Junior Class gave a three act play, “Looks Like Rain”, to the public which was well received by every one. We owe this honor to Mrs. Hutchins, who gave many hours of her time to direct the cast. On May 25th we gave our annual Junior Prom in honor of the Senior Class. Tine auditorium was beautifully decorated in the Senior Class colors. The music was furnished by Peterson’s Orioles. It proved to be a great success. Through the faithful guidance of our class advisor, Miss Pear, w'e have been well represented in all school activities and are now' ready to finish our school career as dignified Seniors.

It did not take us long to get used to the new routine although we occasionally got lost in the halls or mixed up on the location of our class rooms. The Juniors and Seniors appeared as heroes to us with their carefree and superior ways. We chose old rose and silver for our class colors and elected our officers as follows: President----Emiel Vanderhouwart Vice President________Neil Spitler Secretary .......... Clare Mack Treasurer-----------------Louise Kokx In February we gave our first annual party, which, although it was our first attempt of this kind, came off well, due to the assistance of our class advisor, Mrs. Hutchins. We were defeated by the Seniors in the interclass basket ball tournament. In June we had our dreaded finals which were not so bad as we thought they would be after which we were dismissed for a welcome three months’ vacation. This year starting school was more enjoyable for we had had a whole year of high school life and could sit back and look bored or laugh at the silly mistakes of the Freshmen. We could get some fun out of participating in eraser fights. We Class History looked down on sailing paper airplanes which was now too undignified and child-like. We held a class meeting and elected the following officers: President----------------------Ogden Amstutz Vice President------Lorraine Spitler Secretary---------------------Norman Billings Treasurer---------------Clare Mack Of the sixty-three students who began school last year as Freshmen, fifty-nine had survived and were on hand when school started. A few have dropped since then. Several of the fellows went out for football and many of them made the reserve team. Two of them, Neil Spitler and Ogden Amstutz, covered themselves and the Sophomore class with glory by earning Varsity letters. We gave a program entitled “All Gumed Up” which was well received by the students and teachers. Many of the fellows made the reserve team in basket ball and some of the girls made the girls first team. The second team in basket ball this year made a very fine showing and promises a very fine team next year. Lyllian Wy koff earned a girl’s first team letter. We gave our party right after spring vacation and a good crowd of students and teachers were there. — 27 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Freshmen Class Roll Front Row—Gladys Perry, Vera Stevens, Hazel Gay, Neva Giddings, Lorraine Service, Dorothy VanWickle, Cecil Howard.

Knowing that such a large body could not succeed without an executive head we elected the following to represent us: President--------------Matt Crosby Vice President_________Vera Stevens Treasurer-------------Grace Schofield Secretary---------Marland Bruckman Later on Lucille Benner was elected student council member from the Freshman class. We were very fortunate to secure as our class advisor Miss Shisler, who helped us over some very rocky places. On March sixteenth we gave our annual Freshman Frolic, decorating the auditorium in Spring colors and all we say in regard to it is that we hope the rest of the High School enjoyed our party as well as we did their’s. And now as we stand on the threshold of Sopho-moreship and look back over our Freshman year all we can say is that we hope our Sophomore year turns out as well as our Freshman, year did. — 29 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Eighth Grade Class Roll Front Row—Alma Mills, Doris Quackenbush, Anna Taft, Angelica Newton, Doris Snow, Fern Hart.

Of the forty pupils who started at this time only twenty-one are left. At the end of the first year our teacher gave us a picnic in the park. This was one social event we didn’t have in the second grade with Miss Johnson as a teacher. Miss Miller was our third grade teacher. Miss Shisler was our fourth grade teacher, and Miss Evans our sixth grade teacher. The teacher we had for the seventh grade was Miss Bowen. For six months w'e edited a paper. We elected editors and assistants every two months. At the close of the year we enjoyed a picnic at Pentwater Beach. June 10, 1927, we left the grade rooms forever with perhaps no regret because when school opened in September we were entered as part of the High school. We started in our school year with Mrs. Purdy and Miss Davis as our leaders. The first day in the assembly no one seemed to get in stride. We sat in everyone else’s seat but our own. We also got mixed up in our class rooms. We would either get in the w'rong room or be informed that that class was the next period. We are now able to find our seats without disturbing our classmates. The eighth grade boys organized a basket ball team which had a fairly successful year. Mrs. Purdy and Miss Davis entertained the class Christmas time with a theater party. The picture was “Little Annie Rooney.” We elected Doris Quackenbush to represent the eighth grade in the Student Council. April 25th we had our class party which everyone enjoyed. We will soon close our school year which has been very successful, owing to our leaders, Mrs. Purdy and Miss Davis.

During the year the number was reduced to 21 by the withdrawal of two. The boys were greatly out-numbered-—there being only five of them and sixteen girls. Even with this small number the boys organized a basket ball team that won seven out of ten games played. The girls were also successful, winning two-thirds of the games played. There were numerous class parties during the year which were enjoyed by all. The greatest success on our social program was the trip to Mt. Pleasant on April 26 and 27th for the County Normal Rally. We were entertained by Central State Teachers College at a banquet and an opera, “The Mikado.” We won Oceana the fame of being the peppiest and liveliest Normal there by leading all the yells. (Fisher’s voice hasn’t gotten back to normal yet.) Class officers were elected as follows: President----------------------------Helen Tate Vice President________________________Bert Grove Secretary.................... Ruth Milton Treasurer.................___Lorna Bender Yell Leaders..Agnes Smith, Glenn Fisher Every student is expecting to teach next year, nearly all having already signed contracts. — 33 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Walter Gebhart, Coach Cowles, Herbert Hawley, Dick Jensen. Bud Talc Apple Judging Team In 1922 the Kent Storage Company of Grand Rapids offered a Silver Loving Cup to the best Smith-Hughes High School Apple Judging team in the state, this cup to become the property of the school winning it three times. These contests are sponsored by the Michigan State Horticultural Society. The cup has been won successively, as follows. St. Johns. 1922; Hart. 1923; Bangor, 1924; St. Johns, 1926 and Hart, 1927. In 1927 the contest was held at Benton Harbor on December 8. Each team judged twenty plates of five varieties and identified forty single plates of twenty varieties. The team representing Hart scored 2127.6 points or 60 points ahead of their nearest rival, Covert. Hart’s three greatest rivals in fruit judging, Bangor, South Haven and Fenn-ville, placed fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Many are looking foiward to next year’s contest as Hart now has an equal chance with any other school in the state. — 34 — HART HIGH SCHOOL Glee Club Orchestra Band Operetta — 35 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Girls’ Glee Club First Itow—Ira Mae Smith, Doris Rummer, Dorothy Lombard, Gladys Howe, Ruth VanSicklo, Helen Wicrlch, Dot Shafer, Miss Hansen, director.

May 25. The banquet was in the Congregational church basement and the room was decorated in scarlet and gray, the Junior colors. After the dinner the crowd went across to the High school auditorium and enjoyed dancing to Peterson’s Orioles, of Ludington. The auditorium was beautifully decorated in blue and yellow, the Senior colors. The Junior class is to be congratulated on the success it achieved with the most important social event of the school year. THE SENIOR PARTY The Seniors entertained the school at a Hallowe’en party October 28, 1927. The auditorium was attractively decorated in the Hallowe’en colors. Miss Hansen and her very exclusive and accomplished orchestra entertained. These dancing parties are the best on earth and everyone reported a good time. During the intermission the main features w'ere the “oriental” fortune-tellers, with whom you are all acquainted. After the grand march, noisy favors were presented and ice cream cones furnished the refreshments. Here’s to the High School parties. JUNIOR PARTY The Juniors entertained the high school, faculty and parents at an Armistice dancing party on November 11, 1927. The school auditorium was beautifully decorated in our national colors, red, wrhite and blue. The regular dance program was carried out and was enjoyed by all. During the intermission the dancers and onlookers were served Hershey bars. Everyone present reported an enjoyable evening had been spent. Thanks to the Juniors! THE FRESHMAN PARTY The High school was entertained by the Freshman class at a dancing party in the High school auditorium on Friday evening, March 16, 1928. The room was decorated in spring colors, using paper sweet peas. Refreshments of punch and Saratoga wafers were served. The party was well attended, drawing out the largest crowd of the year. The Freshmen show that they are entertainers par excellence. THE SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores entertained the student body and faculty to a dancing party in the auditorium on Friday evening, May 4, 1928. The hall was decorated in old rose and silver, the Sophomore class colors. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served during intermission. Miss Hansen’s Orchestra furnished the music. GOOD ENGLISH WEEK We, the students of Hart High School, are much more careful of our use of the English language after our observance of Good English Week. Posters were made and a prize was aw'arded to the best. The decision was very difficult as the posters were all so good. The judges awarded the first prize to Dorothy North while Willard Leicht received second. The senior’s part in the program was the dramatization of the play “The Rivals” after it had been told very well by Ardath Dukes. This was directed by Miss Brien and it is to her that credit is given for the “Good English” songs that were originated and sung by the student body. The faculty was represented in the program by Mrs. Hutchins and Mr. Bleecker who gave some very instructive speeches on “Ways for Careless Students to Improve Their Speech.” Miss Brien also directed a sophomore play — 40 — HART HIGH SCHOOL which proved that Good English sounded much better than poor English. The noted performers were: Margaret Schaner, Emiel Vanderhouwart and Henry Shisler, the representative of poor English. On Friday, or “tag day , each violator of Good English laws received a tag from the person noting the mistake, on which it said “Improve Your Speech!“ Of course there were many “tagged” students but the faculty was also well represented. On a whole the week was a great success and we hope to have “Good English Week” every week during the year. THE SENIOR PROGRAM As is customary for the various classes to present a program the Seniors set the ball a rolling. The main features were solos by Bonnie Weeks and Byron Jensen. These two will certainly keep up the standards of the class out in the world. Not far behind was the “Senior Orchestra” of which we are all proud. Last, but not least, was the Senior Sextette whose fame has already been achieved. The remaining classes will now have some goal in view and we are assured that they will be “jolly good rivals.” THE Jl'NIOR PROGRAM The Juniors entertained the high school one fine day by presenting a typical old-fashioned school room. They were dressed and acted like the days w'hen they were about third graders. They very delightfully recited pieces and sang sweet little songs and all together entertained us royally. The VanSickle twins wrere there with their shining faces and sunbonnets. Of course. Bud Tate and Russel Robbins wrould have to “cut-up.” “Dot” Ixxnbard and Marva Dykema recited some wee, little verses while Roma Walker favored us with a vocal selection and to tell the truth she wore a hair-ribbon! Bertha Shull actually played the piano while everyone else made lots of noise. To be sure it wouldn’t have been such a success if Hilda Pearson hadn’t been the honorable teacher. Yes, Juniors, you are improving! the sophomore program The Sophomores in their program showed us how' we can even become mixed up by chewing gum these days. The play cast consisted of: Doris Rummer. Henry Lorenz, Henry Shisler, and Mildred Greene. The name of the play was “All Gummed Up,” so you can see or imagine what a mix-up it was but really it turned out fine. Mrs. Hutchins was the director of this little act and we assure her that the program w'as appreciated. the freshman program The Freshmen entertained the high school with their program on the Friday before Christmas vacation. We must admit here that the “Freshies” are right on the job and ready to beat the “upperclassmen” even in programs. The noted speakers were: Lenore Hansen, w'ho gave several mono- logues. Marion Skinner, a very fine reader, and Otto Miller, the class orator, who recited a very pleasing poem. Miss Vivian Barkel w'as to favor us with a piano solo w'hen to her amazement as well as everyone elses, it was found locked!! A very nice little play was given by Lucille Benner, Grace Schofield and Vera Stevens. Altogether it was certainly a success. Miss Shisler. the Freshmen advisor, was the able director of this program. After the program we were pleasantly surprised by a “Christmas treat” from the faculty, which consisted of pop-corn balls and delicious candy. One and all we extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our Faculty. THE EIGHTH GRADE PROGRAM We were just about ready for another program when we received news that the eighth grade intended to give us one. Well, it was certainly fine and we wish to give Mrs. Purdy plenty of credit and thanks for providing such good entertainment. The play took place in a country home where there was a boy genius, who invented and set up his own radio, which pleased all members of his family except “Pa.” But finally after every household member had made a success of some radio project (including Bill, the farmhand) “Pa” listened in and found out what a good thing it really was. He told his son he could keep it and that he wouldn’t destroy it anymore. So we still believe “All’s well that ends well!” — 41 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 Parent-Teachers’ Association Executive Board-Top Row: Mrs. Hawley. Mr. Bleecker, Mrs. Rollins, Mr. Shinn. Bottom Row: The Hart Parent-Teachers’ Association entered the fifth year of its existence as a strong, enthusiastic body of over one hundred members. Every meeting had a program both instructive and entertaining. The New' Year’s party, held in January, and a mock meeting of the P. T. A. attended by the faculty, which was impersonated by members of the Oceana County Normal was a laughable and entertaining program. The entertainment held in February, which is Mr. Pugsley, Mrs. Birke, Mrs. Purdy, President, Mrs. Peterson, Mr. Palmiter. the money-making month for the association, was a dramatic contest between the older and younger members of the association. It was successful financially and very pleasing to the audience which filled the spacious auditorium. The teachers and parents have worked together in this splendid cooperative movement. The community of Hart feels that progressive education will embrace a broader view of the finer things of life as presented to the parents of the children of this district because Hart has a wide-awake and enthusiastic Parent-Teachers’ Association. — 42 — HART HIGH SCHOOL - 43 — THE MARTIAN, 1928 First Row—Floyd Walsworth, Arnold Culver, Earl Freeborn, Bill Russell, Captain; Carl Shogren, Louis DeWolf.

Although Hart was handicapped in each game by the loss of one or more members of the first team squad due to illness they managed to come through with a fairly good average. Byron Jensen was appointed captain by the coach because Captain Russel dislocated his shoulder in the Scott ville game and was out for the rest of the season. Hart won its first game from Montague. 6 to 0, on a very dismal day. Hart took its second game from Whitehall, 57 to 0. Hart took its first licking of the season from the Heights. 40 to 0. Hart made a few first downs against the heavier team and the score doesn’t indicate the strength of our team. Hart won its third game from Ludington, 6 to 0, Culver scoring on a pass from Shogren.

Baseball Team Halt High’s baseball team was the best ever produced by Hart High. Under the coaching of Coach Mason, Hart went sailing through their schedule winning ten straight games and losing none. We won two games from our rivals, Shelby, who were last year’s county champions. They also won over another rival, Fremont, which is coached by a college rival of Coach Mason. Hart had two very good pitchers in Shull and VanTas-sel. Hart ought to have another good team next year because it only loses two players off this year’s squad—Barclay, a good catcher and star of the Hart team, and pitcher Shull, one of the best pitchers in the league. The team won two shut out victories, one from Scottville, 10 to 0, and one from Pent water, 11 to 0. Van Tassel pitched a no hit. no run game in one of these contests. Hart played its best game against Shelby which we won 5 to 2 behind airtight pitching of “Lefty” Shull. Those winning letters were: Barcley, catcher; Shull and Van Tassel, pitchers and fielders; Shogren, first base; Schilhaneck, second base; Crosby, shoit stop; Jensen, third base and Dick Jensen and Geiger, fielders. Those on the Reserve squad are: Schlee. Mack and Freeborn. Our mascot was “Kewpie” Mack who helped the boys win their games. The schedule and scores follow: April 20—Pentwater . _ 3 H. H.

Culver was elected by the letter-men to lead the team but was unable to play in very many games because of a sore foot. Hawley, who took his place, played very good ball throughout the season but lacked experience. Hart broke even with Pentwater in games played, winning the first 14 to 16 but losing the second 25 to 15. Hart only played one game with the Heights and Muskegon managed to win it 8 to 13 in a tight defensive game. Hart beat the Muskegon High Reserves 24 to 25 by a whirlwind finish in the last quarter of the game. Ludington took both games from Hart, the first 23 to 17 and the second 16 to 29. Hart won both games from Scottville, the scores being 17 to 16 and 42 to 19. Hart took two defeats from Montague. The scores were 20 to 16 and 14 to 11. Hart lost these games because they tried to play basket ball while the “big boys” from Montague played football. Hart swamped Fremont, the score being 22 to 6. Custer was defeated by topheavy scores both times Hart played them. Scores—32 to 12 and 31 to 13. Hart and its rival, Shelby, managed to break even in games this year, Shelby winning one, 24 to 8, and Hart taking the last one, 14 to 13. Hart went to the tournament held at the Heights but was eliminated the first night by Zeeland after a heart breaking finish by which Zeeland managed to win. Hart should have won the game because they outclassed the Zeeland squad in all departments of the game. But such is luck sometimes. and Hart lost 21 to 18 after having a 16 to 12 lead near the end of the game. Those making the trip were: Captain Culver, Keith Mack, L. Weiting, Earl Freeborn, Sears Crosby, Herbert Hawley, William Schilhaneck, Carl Shogren and Floyd Walsworth. Five of this year’s squad will be lost to next year’s team. Those who played their last game for Hart at the tournament were: Crosby, Schil- haneck. Hawley, Freeborn and Shogren. Coach Mason ought to be able to develop a good team next year because of the promising material coming from Cowles’ Reserve Squad as well as those left from the ’28 squad. — 46 — HART HIGH SCHOOL Top Row—Lorraine Spitler, Coach Pear, Matilda M atulis.

Girls Basket Ball The girls basket ball season opened on November 27 with about twenty practically unexperienced girls, determined to make this year as successful as last. The first game was on December 16 with Marva Dykema as Captain. The Alumni proved too fast for the High School girls and the game ended, 7 to 10, in favor of the Alumni. With more practice and training under the supervision of our inspiring Coach, Miss Pear, the girls came back on December 22 with much more enthusiasm and won from the Alumni. It was necessary to play an overtime period as at the end of the game the score was tied 15-15, but with the determination to win, our girls made the score 23-16. We went to Ludington January 6 and the game ended in Hart’s favor. 20-10. This showed that our girls could not only win on our own floor but on others as well. A game on January 13 was played between the High School and the Normal girls. A new' combination was used which was very successful, and the Normal girls were forced to defeat, 12-47. Much preparation was made for the coming game, which was on January 20, at Shelby, but the girls lost, making the score 19-40. February 1 Pentwater came to Hart. The Hart girls proved superior and won by a one-sided score, 33-8. On February 3 the Hart girls played a fast game with Whitehall w'hich ended with the score 21-17 in Hart’s favor. The game with Ludington on February 10, proved to be successful for Hart. The outcome was 37-22. We owe much of the credit of this game and also others to the cheering section for giving their support and encouraging the players. On February 16 the girls went to Whitehall and were defeated with the final score 15-16 in Whitehall’s favor. Shelby came to Hart on February 24. This game proved to be the most exciting one of the season. The girls were compelled to play without their captain, but with the encouragement of Miss Pear, the game ended in Hart’s favor 24-20. The following girls received letters: Lyllian Wyckoff. Elaine Handy. Marva Dykema. Dorothy Demmon. Gladys Howe, Hazel Blackmore and Tillie Matulis. Much credit is given to Lorraine Spitler and Bonnie Feasel and the second team for their hard work and interest in helping to make this year a successful year. — 47 — —Gladys Howe. THE HARTIAN, 1928 Track ’27 Hart had a successful track team this year which won all of its meets although it only participated in two meets, one with Fremont and one with Whitehall. The feature of the Whitehall meet was the splendid running of the relay team. which took a fast race from the Whitehall hoys. The relay team consisted of: Snow, Crosby, Schilhaneck and Shogren. Those receiving H awards were: Shogren, Snow. Crosby, Schilhaneck and Palmlter. Tennis ’27 Mr. Bleecker organized a tennis team last year. By holding elimination contests the following represented Hart: DeWolf, Dayharsh and Carl- ton. Each of them played singles and DeWolf and Dayharsh paired up as a doubles team. They had a very successful year winning three matches out of the four played. Matches were as follows: Two with Ludington—lost one and won one; Two with Whitehall—won both. Reserve Basket Ball The Hart Reserves w'ere organized by Coach Cowles and present a very good record for the year. “Bud Vanderhouwart was chosen Captain of the squad. In the two games with Pent water Hart took the first one 16 to 6 while Pentwater took the last one 11 to 12. Hart won both games from Scottville—24 to 9 and 20 to 11. Hart downed Walkerville by a score of 10 to 16 at Hart. The Reserves broke even with Montague, losing the first 15 to 16 and winning the second at Montague, 11 to 15. They dowmed the fast Highlander Midgets of Muskegon to the tune of 24 to 14. Hart managed to pull away from Mears in the last minute of play, winning 9 to 10. Hart beat Shelby, 22 to 13, demonstrating that they know how to pass and shoot baskets. Football Team (Continued from Page 44) ference on punts which enabled Shogren to run four back for touchdowns. Hart dropped another game to Fremont, this year’s Class C champions, 19 to 13. Hart got their scores by a pass and when Shogren, behind perfect interference, ran back a kickoff. This year we came out even with Shelby in games. We won the first game, 6 to 0, but dropped the second 20 to 6. In the second game N. Spitler, left end, wfas knocked unconscious after making a pretty run of 20 yards which later resulted in a Hart touchdown, made by Wieting, sub for Spitler. Next year’s team will suffer a great deal from loss of players from the ’27 squad. They will lose the following: Backfield, Day- harsh, DeWolf, Shogren and Schilhaneck; linemen, Jensen, Russell, Freeborn, Hawley and Horton. — 48 — HART HIGH SCHOOL THK SECRET OF Sl'ITUSS “What is the way to success?” asked I “Work, don’t give up, never say die.

THE IRON BOX Years ago an eccentric old gentleman willed to his cousin, Nancy Rice, an old iron box. The box was known to contain fabulous wealth, but no one knew that it also contained dynamite which was arranged to explode when the key was turned in the lock. Nancy Rice was a very poor girl, and although she worked hard in the cotton mills every day, she was unable to save any money. She was engaged to a young man from the same town she lived in, so she had tried her best to save money for her new house. When she received the iron box she was so overjoyed she could hardly eat. The key was tied to the handle of the box with a little string. Just as she was about to open it she thought— if I open it I will spend the money, if I don’t 1 will have the money to begin my new home with, so the iron box was left unopened. Two years passed. Nancy had received a better position and was now saving money, but still the iron box was unoponed. At last the eventful night of her wedding came to pass, and as bride and bridegroom rode home that night she told him about the iron box. “We will not open it yet,” said her husband, “let us wait a while.” As the years passed their farm become more profitable under their constant toil. They had two children, a boy and a girl. By the time their children had grown to man and womanhood, they were well-to-do, as we say. Nancy’s brown hair had a silver touch to it, and so had her husband’s. On cold winter evenings when they were all alone they would sit by the fireplace and talk about the iron box. Nancy would open the golden locket and take out the little key. Should they open it? No, they would wait a little longer, some day they might need it. and they would have it. Both their children married and settled down to happy homes. Nancy and her husband were now very old. One morning Nancy was found sleeping in her bed with a peaceful smile on her face, she was sleeping an everlasting sleep. Two days later her husband died from old age. They were buried together in the old graveyard. Around Nancy’s neck hung the golden locket, between them lay the iron box. “Maybe they treasured those things in life” thought their children as they glanced at them for the last time. Seventy years later a poor lad was digging on his farm when his spade struck something hard. Before him lay the iron box, old and rusty. He tore open the cover with his spade. Was he dreaming, or was it true? There before him lay the fabulous wealth of the iron box with a stick of dynamite in one corner. —Esther IJndefield. MOTHER Mother, oh how sweet the name; Ever, always just the same. Sure to help in time of need. Sure each want and wish to heed. Always loving, kind and true. Best friend found the whole world through. Never known to shirk a task; Works and labors to the last. Why should we grumble or complain. For such a friend and such a name Is greatly loved, is widely known; Without mother, ’twould not be home. —Esther Coleson. — 40 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 THKCLOUDS A cloud is a funny thing. Did you ever stop to think. How on earth it can stay so high. And glide along in the sky? But we know it is just as light, As the very- breath of night. Don’t you have a peaceful thought, When you think of it up above; With its little fairy whiteness, And its pretty colored brightness, That help to make the sky A perfect picture for the eye. Sometimes I wish I were sailing On a lonely cloud up there. Just to drift along a thinking. Of nothing but the air. And watch the merry sunbeams play. All along the margin of the bay, And just stay up there in the sky, And live there till I die. Vera Stevens, Ninth Grade. TIIK BURGLAR I DIDN’T C ATC H One night I returned home from a Hallowe’en party about ten o’clock. The rest of the family were not at home, and I thought the house could keep itself, so I scrambled up stairs to bed. After I had dozed for about an hour, I suddenly awakened with a start. I thought I had heard a noise. I listened intently. Yes. there it was again. I had just been to a Hallowe’en party and my nerves were on edge, but I summoned up some courage and crawled out of bed. I crept to the head of the stairs in the darkness, and then down a few steps to the landing, and looked down. There to my astonishment I saw a faint ray of light. I stole on down the stairs and through the hall, and then across the living room to the door from where the light was proceeding. I expected to see a man with a large revolver and a mask on, but to my glad disappointment it was only my parents who had returned home. Leslie Wright, Eighth Grade. THK SHOT THAT MADE HART’S J IRK DEPARTMKNT HKSITATE We were playing “Touring.” A storm had come up and the wind shook the house. Suddenly there was an awful crash. I jumped to the window. Dorothy, Vera and Edith also jumped up and rushed to the window, crowding about me. We were all wondering what had happened when a flash of lightning showed us a tree blown down, laying directly across the street. At that instant the fire siren sounded, its shrill shrieks combined with the lightning flashes and the roars of the thunder, terrorizing us. Not one of us spoke for a moment, altough it seemed an eternity, dazed as we were. Suddenly, one of the girls who had had her face to the window pane peering into the darkness, gave a piercing shriek, followed by another and another—each one more blood curdling in volume—then fled from the room, out the door and into the street. “Oh Boy, Oh Boy, HELP, HELP; Help save the lives of the firemen’’ she shouted to the top of her voice. As the word “Firemen” reached our ears, voiced by our brave Dorothy out there in the storm, we girls instantly sensed the danger to our Fire Department now assembled and leaving their station just a block away—heading up our street, with bells clanging and siren blowing—in mad haste to get to the scene of the fire. The tree lay directly in their path. Would they see it in time to save themselves? Would they hear Dorothy’s cries and stop in time? Or, would they run blindly into it, dashing the men from the truck—breaking their necks and mangling them to death, perhaps? To stop this oncoming suicide—we must! But how? This was no time for deliberate planning. Action was the word. Action—quick; action in demand. As though all three of us had but a single thought, Edith raised the window with a bang. In one quick, graceful leap, Vera was through it. At the same instant I grabbed the fancy floor lamp, thrust it through the window to Vera, who ran with it toward the street and the fallen tree as far as the long cord would permit, waving it madly. By this time Edith and I were at her side, kicking, jumping, waving our hands wildly in the light of the lamp. Just when it seemed our efforts were futile and death would soon be all about us, we threw our arms out forcefully in the direction of the oncoming apparatus, letting go of a piece of fudge each of us had clinched firmly in our hands since the first crash came—a piece on which we had been liesurely munching while playing our game, but which when let go was a solid mass—stone like in consistency. Dumbfounded, wre heard the crashing of the brakes, the roar of the motor, and could see that the truck had been brought to a stop. The loud voices of the men were saying—“What’s happened?” “Who’s hurt?” “What is this all about?” By that time Dorothy was there, showing them where the tree had fallen and the dangers to them we had succeeded in having them avoid. And then—a death curdling moan and all attention was directed to the spot from whence it came—the driver’s seat. “I’ve been shot, boys,” wrailed poor HART HIGH SCHOOL Harry. “One of you will have to drive; get me to Doc Nick quick; tell my wife good-bye, the hoys to be brave—like their father.” “Hurry fellows, blood is filling my mouth—how' sweet it tastes, urn, urn.” With the spot light turned on his face, he was a gory sight, but to Edith’s quick perceptions, she recognized the “terrible hole” between Harry’s eyes as one of the lumps of fudge we girls had thrown—evidently effectively, and the streams of “blood” that was filling his mouth, the raindrops coursing over the lump of fudge and down his face. Hysterical with laughter she danced about. Thinking possible we had two cases for Doctor Nicholson, we caught her, holding her still, trying to subdue her. Between spells of laughter, she would shout—“You’re not shot, Mr. Tice . . ... You’re not hurt even; you are just scared; why, you were only hit by a piece of fudge; pick it off your forehead and take a bite, um, um.” And now—who is this coming? What—a Central girl; what, what did you say— no fire, a false alarm—well, well. And now, it’s stopped raining, so let’s go back to our game of “Touring” that we left so unceremoniously about seven minutes ago. What did you say Dorothy? Your dad says for you to come home? You have to go home too, Vera did you say? Well, good-bye girls, come again, won’t you. Edith, you just come in and put on some of my dry clothes—then we will finish the fudge while we write a poem for the “Spirit of Hart High”—all about “How Dorothy Stopped the Fire Department,” and “When Brave Harry Got Shot.” —Lenore Hanson. OVER THE GARDEN WALL Over the garden wall I would lean And call to my golden haired girl. At the sound of my whistling She would come from the house; With the wind dancing every little curl. Under her arm she carried some book. Under mine I carried some too. Then I’d help her up on the stone garden wall And w e would read of the adventures of Boo. Perhaps we would sail in our wooden shoes Or in our boats so wee, With the stars shining brightly above our heads, We would rock on the dark blue sea. As we grew older, our voyages grew too, Till we had been far and wide. From coast to coast, and from land to land And visited the world on each side. But always we entered the magic gate. The title of which is Books,” And from there we would visit our far off places In the world’s farthest corners and nooks. Again I lean over the garden wall. And whistle with lips that are dry. This time my whistling is not so bold. And the maid appears more shy. Her golden curls are now in long braids. That encircle her head like a wreath. Her blue eyes are sparkling with joyous delight, And perfect content and peace. This time my heart is filled with a wish Far more beautiful than any before. And if this golden haired girl will grant it, I shall be happy forever more. Then together we would travel from coast to coast. This time in reality. We would go to the places we dreamed of before. Far over the dark blue sea. —E. L. THE HAUNTED HOUSE Marion Hall was delighted to think that her father had bought a pretty little cottage on the seashore. It would not be lonesome for her because there were seven or eight cottages, a hotel and a store at this place. In the latter part of June the Halls moved to the cottage for the summer. It was not long before the Halls had all made many friends. Among Marion’s friends was Ethel Warner, a friend of Marion’s cousin who lived in the neighboring village. On one side of the cottage was an old farm house that was uninhabited. Ethel told Marion that the house was haunted. She said that some people who had stayed in their cottage had seen a light in the house late at night. Marion only laughed and said the people must have been dreaming. One night when Marion’s parents had to go to the city on business, she invited Ethel to stay with her. After supper the two girls went over to the store to get some magazines and candy. Not long after they had returned it began to rain and about nine o’clock the lights went out. Marion and Ethel decided they would go to bed and read their magazines. Mary got a lamp and they went to bed. 51 — THE HARTIAN, 1928 About ten o’clock they heard a doer slam and then everything was silent. They got up and went to the window and to their amazement there was a light in the old farm house. Then a man went to the window and pulled the shade down. The girls stayed at the window for about fifteen minutes, when all of a sudden the curtain flew up and the light went out. Marion and Kthel pinched each other to see if they were dreaming or had really seen a light in the window of the old house. The girls finally went back to bed. The next morning when Marion’s father and mother returned the excited girls told their story to them. Mr. Hall went over to Warner’s and together the two men broke into the old house. When they opened the door to the room in whieh the girls had seen the light they saw a man lying on the floor. Just at that moment the man opened his eyes. He told the two men that he had belonged to a band of thieves but in the night they had a fight and the other men had gone away but would be back that night. Mr. Warner called up the police and that night the rest of the men were caught. Ix raine Spitler. A MYSTERY SOLVER Mary Stevenson was going to stay with her Uncle John, an old bachelor in Georgia. Her father and mother had died, leaving her an orphan thirteen years old. and her uncle had sent for her to come and live with him. He was a very wealthy old man and it was rumored he owned some priceless gems. No one knew for certain as he was never intimate with anyone. Mary was scared because she had always pictured her uncle as a stern old man who had no time for children. When she got out of the limousine her uncle had sent to bring her from the station she felt very shaky and she was still more frightened at the colored chauffeur and the butler who took her wraps and baggage. Then a smiling faced old colored mammy came and took her to her room, the lovliest she had ever seen, and gave her a great many pretty clothes, dressing her in a very lovely little frock. Mary thought she was dreaming, it all seemed so unreal, a large mansion, a limousine, and everything and that she would awake soon. Then she was taken downstairs and given a good supper and Aunt Chloe, as she learned to call her, took her to see her Uncle John. At a large room at the end of the hall she opened the door and seated in a chair was the most angel like smiling face Mary had ever seen. All at once she wasn’t afraid any more and took a chair near her uncle and talked to him about her mother and father and her new home. At last her uncle told her she would have to retire and tomorrow she would meet Jane Hagerty, the housekeeper. Next morning Aunt Clilce came upstairs and got her ready for breakfast. Then she was taken to the dining room where sat her uncle and a stern faced woman, dressed in a high collared, old-fashioned dress. Mary gretted her uncle and was then introduced to Jane, and though Mary greeted her smilingly she disliked her very much. Five years have passed, during which Mary has grown to young womanhood, during which time she was a constant companion and a devoted worshipper of her Uncle John and although she had tried hard, had not conquered her dislike for Jane. Then one morning she woke up and going into her uncle’s study to see why he didn’t come to breakfast she found him lying dead on the floor. She called the police at once and though a frantic search was made they could find no clue to solve the mystery. Mary was wild with despair at the loss of her uncle, whom she loved very much. Many days after the death of her uncle Mary got a letter from her uncle’s attorney and with Jane as a companion went to see him. When they reached the office there sat two men, the attorney and a detective, whom he had been consulting. Then he told Mary that she was the sole heir to her uncle’s whole estate which included some priceless gems which he showed her. Then Jane broke down and told how she had loved Mary’s uncle and they were to be married, and he promised her he would give her the gems on their wedding night. Then, for some reason she had never known, he broke the engagement. She had always wanted the jewels and thinking perhaps he would will them to her she had given him poison in his tea for supper. —Doris Rummer. THANKSGIVING ON THE FARM The snow is falling lightly, As Thanksgiving day draws near While the leaves are packed beneath it, To lay there year by year. The pumpkins now lie golden, And large and plump in size All waiting to be taken in. And made to pumpkin pies. - 52 — HART HIGH SCHOOL The turkey wanders in the field. Not suspecting his fate, And eating of the golden corn Which prepares him for the plate. The farmer goes into the field, Takes six-seven pumpkins at the least, Then his helpful wife and children Prepare them for the feast. And now we have the turkey. Who is going to meet his fate. When he is chased into the barnyard, And cornered by the gate. Last of all we have the farmer, Seated with his family ’round the table Giving many thanks to heaven, For being well and able. Thanking Him for all the power And gifts that He gave man. And asking to be able, To help others when He can. Esther Lindefield. A TRIP TO MAKS Professor Swindelberry was ready to make his trip to Mars in his new radium propelled airplane. He could only take one person besides himself and so he took me. We staited our flight at 6:30 a. m., May 1, 1090 A. D. We made terrific speed the first thousand miles but as we neared Mars we slowed down considerably. The air was very rarified but we experienced no trouble as we were equipped with the new oxygen sets. We were making very little headway and were just about to give up when we were caught in a current of air that took us straight to the top of a mountain peak in Mars. The plane had difficulty in landing but when it landed it stayed because it was equipped with suction soles. I was so excited 1 jumped out and to my astonishment I flew about a hundred feet in the air and was unable to come down. The professor yelled and told me he would throw me a rope and he did, tying it around the plane and I came down. I strapped on my suction shoes and we started out to explore. We staited down the mountain slope and wondered where the animals were when we heard a terrible roar above our heads. We looked up and saw the most terrible animal imaginable but he was very thin and looked hungry. He was trying to come down but it was impossible, he had released the suction cups on his feet and had immediately gone up. We found out later that all the animals in the high places had suction feet and that if they once let go they starved to death in the air. We had reached a plain now and our suction shoes were no longer needed so we unstrapped them and were making very good time over the ground when we saw coming towaids us a band of something that looked like horses but when they came closer we saw they had a head like a man but very much larger and ears that flapped like the elephants in our own country and eyes like horses. As they neared us they spread out and surrounded us. I was beginning to be frightened and Professor Swindelberry tried to calm me by saying that he would try to tell them we were friends. But just as the professor started to speak they charged like whirlwinds. I was shaking and I started to run and I gave a leap and to my surprise I jumped over the heads of the horsemen and I yelled for the professor to do the same. He then lost no time in doing it. We jumped for life and made our way towards the plane but when we were up the slope we both shot up in the air many feet. The horsemen stopped because they knew if they went much farther they would go up too. We were in a sorry plight until we saw the plane and the rope tied to it still up in the air. We swam for the rope and succeeded in climbing down where we donned our suction shoes. We were making ready for bed when the professor noticed a leak in the forward radium tank and it couldn’t be fixed. We saw that if we stopped any longer the tank would give out and we would be marooned in Mars. We got in and flew away. We were about half way to the earth when we began falling and nothing would have saved us but the safety suits and so we jumped. I hit hard and then I looked around with a start and saw I was on the floor with the bed clothes for a safety suit. Clare Mack.

Purdy Son Hart, Michigan THE HARTIAN, 1928 EXPLAINED He was a loyal little friend and he wouldn't let anything against his parents go unchallenged. One Sunday afternoon a hoy friend said, ‘‘Listen to your father snoring!’' Dad isn't snoring, was the indignant reply. He’s dreaming about a dog and that’s the dog growling.” The boys Glee Club had had their first practice and thought they had done very fine, hut upon leaving they ran into some hoys who were looking for the yell practice. Skin specialists are a hunch of grafters. Willis Russel: Who was the coldest man in history ?” Joe Baker: I’ll bite, who was he?” Willis: Micheal Angelo, because he made a wall freeze.” Bud Blackmore: Why don’t you like that girl? She’s the best looking in town.” S. Horton: Yes! But look at the town.” Rudolph Feuhring: Are you going to run for class president?” Guss Quist: No, I can’t think of any words that rhyme with my name for a slogan.” Henry S.: Have you heard the new pullman song?” Norman B.: ‘‘No, what?” Henry S.: Dinah.” Peggy: He takes a good picture.” Dorothy: He took five of my good ones. Earl F.: Marva bet me last night that I could n’t carry her upstairs.” Toughy W.: Well?” Earl: I took her up.” Homer, why were you absent yesterday?” My grandmother died,” responded the wise little boy. ‘Your grandmother died? Say, listen Homer, this is the third time your grandmother has died.” Yes, that’s true professor, my grandfather is a M orman.” Autographs — XX —
