Is it worth while that we jostle a brother, Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worth while that we jeer at each other— In blackness of heart, that we war to the knife? God pity us all in our pitiful strife. Look at the roses saluting each other; Ix)ok at the herds all at peace on the plain, Man, and man only, makes war on his brother And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain— Shamed by the beasts that go down on the plain. Is it worth while that we battle to humble Some poor fellow down into the dust? God pity us all. Time too soon will tumble All of us together, likes leaves in a gust.

Page Nineteen HART HIGH SCHOOL . ■ -4 Senior Class History As we look back over the past four years of preparation for our various vocations in life, we find our development has been much like that of an orchard of fruit trees. Transplanted from the nursery and set as young sprouts in the rich soil, for the first and second years it was a bit doubtful as to whether they would withstand the rough storms and hard frosts. Soon they began to take firm root in the ground and started to grow. It was necessary that the trees be given proper nourishment and care. The ground around them had to be loosened and the weeds that threatened to undo the good tendencies, overcome. They needed a period of rest each year in order to store up energy for the coming season; then when they advanced too rapidly, they had to be carefully pruned by those in charge of the orchard to keep from wasting their energy and to conserve it for fruitage. Some of the trees were not suited and had to he transplanted, while some could not withstand the ravages of diseases. In due season they blossomed and were ready to bear fruit, and the fruit growers felt confident that the harvest would amply repay them for their efforts. This is the way the young sprouts in the orchard of Hart High have been nurtured and cared for by their teachers until finally they have blossomed and are ready to bear the fruits of knowledge. Fifty-six verdant Freshmen began their high school course in the autumn of nineteen-twenty-seven at Hart High and occupied the various places. They were a bit timid at first but gradually they became accustomed to their pleasant surrounding and began to feel that they were a part of the school—that they belonged there. Little difficulties often arose that puzzled and slightly discouraged these ambitious, eager students but these were straightened out by their worthy principal, Mr. Shinn, who later was succeeded by Mr. Snow, who has also been their faithful friend. Although we were verdant Freshmen we had the enthusiasm of going on to higher standards by electing: President, Matt Crosby, and our class advisor, Mrs. Skinner. The class colors chosen were blue and silver which were kept throughout our high school career. Owing to the aid of Mrs. Skinner we gave our first social event, a Spring Party which showed the excellent entertaining ability of the Freshmen. With ambitions high and determined we again returned for another year’s work mingled with the many pleasures of the activities of our Sophomore year. We elected Ogden Amstutz for President. Our class was represented on the Student Council both in 1928 and 1929 by Lucille Benner. Mrs. Skinner, still our faithful advisor, helped us put on a Hard Times party which was enjoyed immensely. In the autumn of 1929 we enrolled as Juniors and our class was enlarged by a number of nonresident students. Ogden Amstutz was again elected President of our class. Our Junior play “The Boomer”, under the direction of Mrs. Hutchins was given by a number of our brilliant actors and was a great success. The final social event was the Junior Hop in honor of the Senior Class was given on May 29th. The music was furnished by Rags Riley’s orchestra and the auditorium was beautifully decorated in the Senior class colors. The banquet and dancing was enjoyed by all. Under the guidance of Mr. Sumrill, our class advisor, it proved to be a wonderful success. We returned as Seniors and this was the last year of being together as Hart High students. We elected George Lindgren. President, who proved to be a very capable leader. Miss McCall, this being her first year at Hart High, was selected as our class advisor. Our Senior class party was given on December 5th. The auditorium was decorated in Christmas colors. A good time was enjoyed by all. We won the inter-class track meet by a large margin. This was one of the fast fleeting athletic events of which our class can be proud. The Senior class play “Cyclone Sally”, under the direction of Mrs. Hutchins, was a great success. Now we have come to the turning point in the great career of life. Which way will it be? This is the question confronting all of us. May wc choose the road that will broaden our lives—the road which leads upward to success. May we ever remember to give to the world the best we have—then the best will come back to us. We can do this by being true to our motto: “BUILD FOR CHARACTER, NQT FOR FAME”.

However, the customary confusions were almost entirely avoided, because the biggest part of our class had gone to this school for eight years and consequently knew the building well. Under the leadership of Mr. Olendorf as faculty advisor and Carlton Story as president we gave a dancing party for the High school. This proved to be a great success. With a few casualties, our class returned in the fall of ’29 to resume our scholastic duties. As Sophomores we elected Kathleen May for our president. With the help of Mrs. Skinner as udvisor we gave our annual party to the High school. This was one of the most successful of the year. At the close of school a large part of the class enjoyed a picnic at Juniper Beach given by Miss Haas, our I atin instructor. In September ’30 we entered school as dignified (for the most part) Juniors. We chose Mr. Snow class advisor and Peter Norgaard president to guide us through this eventful year. Our dancing party was immensely enjoyed by all. But the outstanding event of the year was the presentation of our Junior play, “In Cherry Time”. With no previous experience the members of the cast—Kathleen May, Carlton Story, Ruth Ellen Sherman, Robert Weigers, Hugo Krantz, Doris Snow, Edwin Hopper, Maizie Rowley, Doris Quackenbush, Eugene Jensen, Alberta Kunkel and Peter Norgaard showed remarkable ability and received many compliments from those who attended the play. At the close of the year we entertained the Seniors at a banquet and dancing party. This was a brilliant success. When next year comes and we are graduated, it will be with regret that we shall leave Hart High school where we have enjoyed so many happy times. ■—Ruth Ellen Sherman.

Class History We, the Sophomore class of 1931, began our school career as Freshmen in the fall of 1929. When everything was in full swing the following officers were chosen: President—Opal McDon- ald; vice-president, Louis Rider; secretary, Joe Miller; treasurer, Bernice Kokx. We gave a costume party which, with the aid of our class advisor, Mr. Cowles, was a great success. Now, as Sophomores, after a three months vacation, we began our second year of high school with a large enrollment. Mr. Olendorf was chosen our class advisor. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: President, Grant Mitteer; vice-president, Maxine Bender; Secretary, Felix Juska; treasurer, Doris Humie. After choosing our class colors. Rose and Silver, we gave a dancing party in March which was well attended. At the inter-class track meet held at the Fair Grounds we lost to our rival, the Freshmen. Our assembly program was given in May, in the auditorium, and was well received. Now at the closing of our successful year as Sophomores, we are ready to take our next step as Juniors.

Class History On the afternoon of September 3 we, the Freshman (’lass entered our dear old Alma Mater once more. There were about sixty students altogether, many having come from the country schools. You never before saw a more frightened bunch of “Freshies”. When we finally settled down to the routine of classes we elected the officers for the year as follows: President—Clayton Perry. Vice-President—Frances Crosby. Secretary—Barbara Bleecker. Treasurer—Virgil Powers. Marjorie Moody represented us in the Student Council. The Freshman program, given a short time after school had begun, seemed a success to everyone but the participants. It consisted of a mock football game, Farmerettes, a banjo and piano duet, and a prize fight. The latter received a large share of the laughs of the audience. The social event of the year was a costume party given on the evening of April 24. It was a great success due to the orchestra, refreshments, decorations, and costumes. Altogether we had a very successful year, a goodly share of the credit going to Mr. Cowles, our class advisor. - Barbara Bleecker.

Class History In the fall of 1930, twenty-five pupils enrolled in the eighth grade, the smallest grade in the building. With no little difficulty we became accustomed to the regular program. At the beginning of the year we elected officers us follows: President—Arleen Hillings. Vice-President—Phyllis Kokx. Secretary—Betty Jane Sayles. Treasurer—Harold Hackett. Bertha Springstead has been our Student Council representative. Karly in the year we organized a Current Events Club in both History classes which met once a week in place of History class. On Hallowe’en our class gave a Hallowe’en program which consisted of a reading and a talk about Hallowe’en customs. The program was concluded by selections played by the eighth grade orchestra. Some of the girls joined the Gym. class and enjoyed it very much. We appreciate the efforts of our teachers, Miss Bowen, Mr. Sumrill and Mrs. Skinner. We now feel that we are ready to enter our high school career. —Betty Jane Sayles. Tage Twenty-fiv THE MARTIAN, 1931 ■+ PtK Twenty-six HART HIGH SCHOOL + -+ FACULTY MEMBERS H. H.

P«ge Twenty-nevcn THE HARTIAN, 1931 •+ Resume for Year 1930-31 LUNCHEON Early in September the County Normal class enjoyed a get-acquainted luncheon, given by Miss Mary Lehman, critic teacher, in the tourist camp of John Gurney’s park. Mrs. Walker, Mr. Shinn, Mrs. LeDuc, Miss Lehman and Miss Hetzman also attended the luncheon. By one o’clock we were no longer strangers. ROAST AT SILVER LAKE October the eighth, Oceana County Normal journeyed to the land of sand dunes for recreation. After a roast, we explored the sand dunes by the light of the moon and spent awhile sitting on top of the world singing. As it grew late we descended, told stories by the fire light and later returned to Hart. HALLOWE’EN PARTY The Oceana County Normal entertained the Critic Room October the thirty-first, with a Hallowe’en Party given in the Kindergarten room. Prizes were awarded to the best costumes and winners of games and contests. Light refreshments were served at five o’clock and the party adjourned, everyone having a very good time. OCEANA COUNTY NORMAL PLAY The Oceana County Normal class of ’31, finding it necessary to raise funds for the annual trip to the County Normal Convention, decided to put on a play. Other classes had sold candy, popcorn, etc. to earn money so we accordingly selected a comedy-drama, “What Price Ancestors?” and in the short three weeks that we were allowed to practice, by dint of much midnight oil and perspiration, we worked up a very presentable performance. We advertised heavily and canvassed the town for tickets and on the big night finally realized some eighty dollars profit. The play went over well, all of the actors did good work, the following especially meriting praise. Leo James, tho’ playing a despicable part, was surely the star and his plaintive whimpering delighted the house. His action was superlative. McCarty was the autocratic tho’ kind-hearted old paternal parent. His dominating spirit was relieved by his ready sense of humor. His affectionate wife, Miss North, was his staunch advisor and her wise decisions helped to bring the Evans family out of apparent chaos. Russel Robbins, the son, and “Peggy” Schaner, the daughter, showed remarkable dramatic ability as did lx uise Kokx, the double-role crook. VALENTINE TEA A Valentine Tea was given February eleventh to the mothers of the Critic room children. The reception committee. Ernest McCarty, Corrine Downing, Alta Wright, and Beulah Walburn, received the guests. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches, cakes, candies and tea were served. Mr. Shinn, Mrs. LeDuc, Miss I ehman and Miss Hetzman were among the guests. A good time was enjoyed by all. THE TRIP TO KAI AMAZOO On March the fifth, we went to Kalamazoo to the annual State Teachers Convention. We left here Thursday morning in four autos, stopping in Grand Rapids for dinner and arrived in Kala-mazoo early in the afternoon. We drove around a bit and then went to our hotel where all had very good rooms and spent the rest of the afternoon looking around the hotel. We went out to the college for an evening banquet, following which we were entertained by speakers and playlets put on by the normal schools. The program was over at eleven and we went back to our hotel to spend the night. The next morning we ate breakfast at the New Burdick hotel. After breakfast we went out to the college to a series of lectures. We were given a banquet at noon and in the afternoon we visited the State Hospital. We found this very interesting and educational. We went back to our hotel and left at about four o’clock. We stopped in Grand Rapids for supper and a show and came on home afterwards, arriving here before midnight.

We have done our best--and quite admirably we think—to entertain you with history and prophecy, poem and song, will and giftatory. And now it is for me to hid you a fond and affectionate farewell. Yet before 1 do this, I want to express our appreciation to all of you for the help wre have received in our education so far. To you, our parents, we owe the greatest debt of gratitude, for you have sacrified much that we might receive our high school education. We want you to know that we appreciate fully the kindly spirit which prompted you to do so many things for us through the past twelve years. We want you to know that we shall do our best in the years that are to come to show that wre have merited your generous sacrifices. To you, members of our faculty, we offer a full measure of thanks for your constant interest in us. From you we have received a daily inspiration for the continuance of our school work in all of its numerous branches. Without your help and guidance we should not have learned the beginning lessons of life which are found in our motto Strive for character, not fame. To you, members of our board of education, we acknowledge our great obligation for you have furnished us the physical means and resources for our education. You have provided us with a well-kept school house, excellent teachers and you have kept our school on all the accredited lists. Not only have you done all of these things but you have shown a deep interest in our social and athletic activities and again we thank you for these aids to our education. And now, our classmates, the time has come for us to say farewell. Through our entire school life we have been closely associated together in the study of our daily lessons, in our athletic pursuits, in our social affairs. From this close association we have formed friendships which have made our school life a happy one. We value these friendships formed so early in life and the thought of their continuance is the bright star of our Commencement Week. And now, classmates, and one and all, farewell. Salutation Gladys Perry We, the Class of 1931, extend our heartiest welcome to our parents, teachers and friends that are gathered here tonight. We know that you are sharing our joys on this graduation day. We have accomplished the task that we set out to do but wre are not going to stop here, w’e arc going to assure Hart High that she can be proud of us as her graduates. We have come to the parting of the ways, from which various roads lead away. Some of us will take one road, some another. Some roads may be smooth w'ith only a few rough places, others may have deep ruts and steep hills. A very fewf of us may be lost along the wayside because of accidents or other insurmountable barriers, but to those who persevere will come the rewards of success. In the four years of our high school life very few' of our classmates were left along the road and so we can say, now, with decision, that all are headed towards the highest of achievements. Thus let us do as the village blacksmith did: Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing— Onward through ICe he goes, Each morning sees some task begun Each evening sees its close. Something attempted, something done Has earned a night’s repose. Again we want to express our gratitude and welcome to our parents, teachers and friends who have made it possible for us to journey thus far on our road to success. Page Thirty HART HIGH SCHOOL Class Will Friends and relatives of the deceased: It is a very solemn occasion for which we are gathered here. It is my sad duty to read to you the last will and testament of the class of 1931, which after four years of long suffering and misery finally succumbed to its affliction and passed out of this high school life. The Last Will and Testament of the ( lass of 1931 of II. II. S. We, the clars of 1931, knowing well that this life must sometime end and desiring to leave many kind remembrances behind us, deem it necessary and proper to give to our devoted teachers our most sincere appreciation for the help which they have rendered us in easing the burdens of school life. Having no further need of our collection of notebooks and book-reports this class will their entire collection to anyone who can use them and not be apprehended by the teachers. To the undergarduates we leave our dignity that I hey may acquire the same high place in the esteem of the faculty that we now hold. As we must now move out Into the stream of life it becomes necessary that we leave behind all excess burdens. In view of this fact, we leave our class advisor. Miss McCall, to any class that wishes her. Having disposed of all our common possessions the following members of the class desire to leave some slight token of remembrance to their special friends or enemies in the undergraduate body and faculty. My light appetite having been noticed and commented upon frequently by my roommate and myself, desiring to eat more abundantly, I, Doris Hoffmyer, will the aforesaid light appetitie to Mr. Olendorf that he may never become overweight.

Otis Ridell wills his many years of experience in Mrs. Hutchins classes to Bruce Lombard. Bernice Shimkus wills her condescending air to Kathleen May. After pondering for many weeks trying to think of some way to decrease her size I believe that I have solved the problem. Therefore I, Ignore Hanson, will my slender figure to Winifred Clutc. As my vices so outnumber my virtues and as I am desirous of having the virtues show a little I. John Schofield, will my vices to anyone foolish enough to take them.

Gladys Perry wills her popularity among both genders to Dorothy Highland. After having successfully filled this highly honorable and dignified position for a period of one year, Frances Gable wills her position as roll monitor to Bernice Lipski.

Leona McKee wills her notoriety as the greatest consumer cf gum in her class to Fern Hart. I. Lotty Urtel, will my very serious air about the assembly room to Mildred Spitler. I.

We now set sail on the sea of life We will try victorious to be, We shall strive for the dawn of a brighter day ’Till its glories for us unfold! Well, this is the end of our High School days. And we wish it wrere not the end. For it means wre must leave our comrades and school And we have only our memory And our love and loyalty to you, dear school. That will never leave our hearts, And we find at the end of our High School days. The meaning of our school! —Marion Skinner.

When “frealties we were snubbed and scorned. Then Seniors called us green; As Sophs we worked with greater will, When Juniors quite serene. At last, w’hen Seniors we became, With ideals high and clear, Ambition sent us on our way Without a thought of fear. To strive for character—not fame —This is our motto true; It spurs us on from time to time, And n’er is lost from view. May God give virtue to our class; Bless each and everyone With faith and hope that shall not die —This class of thirty-one. —Lucille Benner.

Shoultz For the last time dear Chemistry, I take you, And carefully look you o’er I think now of days that have vanished Of days that you made me sore; When I worked two periods on problems That now, I don’t see how I got, Of all the experiments of class time And a little bit more of such rot. And after you’re gone I’ll remember The hours I’ve spent with thee. And it wasn’t out in public. Nor yet, parked under a tree. But in Chemistry Lab. I met you— You should know that it wasn’t the instructor For he’s to blame for my blues. The lessons he assigned were awful; For length and for parts to learn, When you got an “A , you deserved it. For you only rec’d what you earned. But still my dear book I’m not sorry, I’m happy in more ways than one; For wherever I place you this evening, I can gladly say, “I’m done. Still I’m sure that I can’t forget you And all of the sorrow you’ve caused, How the chills creep into my body When unexpectedly my name was called. Now if you were like my Lit. book I'd love you and don’t forget. But seeing it’s only you dear Chem., Take it from me, “You’re all wet. C. Barrett: “Pa, teacher says we’re here to help others.

T. A___________1030-31 The Parent-Teacher Association, under the leadership of Gordon Osborn, made some very worth while contributions to the school during the year, outstanding among them being the following: The welfare of foreign students attending our high school was given attention by the Parent-Teacher Association at the beginning of the winter term when the students were obtaining housing accommodations and were continued by means of an active committee throughout the year. Acting in conjunction with the school officials, the committee functioned with good results to the pupils and to the school. Mrs. Harriet Rollins, Mrs. Myrtle Bleecker, Rev. H. W. Moody and Lynn A. Raider were the efficient workers comprising the permanent committee. Closing certain places of amusement in the village to pupils of our schools, as provided by statute, was made to become effective through the action of the P. T. A. The providing of funds by voluntary contribution, whereby $65 was realized for hot lunches for undernourished children was also one of the Association activities of the year. The “money-making” event of the year was the instructive and entertaining motion picture “With Byrd at the South Pole”, given at the high school auditorium April 29th. Officers who have served during the year are: President — Gordon Osborn. Secretary—Mrs. Carl Dhein. Treasurer—Jasper Olendorf. Page Thirty-eight HART HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT COUNCIL Standing Marjorie Moody. Mr. Snow. Roger Nielsen. Wayne Burdick. Edwin Hopper. Sitting Marjorie Nielsen. Bertha Springstead. Dorothy Johnson. Lucille Benner. Mih Wicke . The Student Council is considered a new organization, as it has only been organized for four years. This year it consisted of two faculty advisors, Miss Wickes and Mr. Snow; president, Dorothy Johnson; two Senior representatives, Lucille Benner and Wayne Burdick; two Juniors, Roger Nielsen and Edwin Hopper; one Sophomore, Marjorie Nielsen; one Freshman. Marjorie Moody; and one Eighth grader, Bertha Springstead. This year the Student Council established a ilower fund, sponsored a “yell contest which was won by LeNore Hanson. It also devised a new’ method of taking the roll. It also held a contest for a high school song. It put on a High School party, which was the first of the year. It decided to carry out the Budget Plan which was begun in 1927-28. This budget takes care of all class dues, the athletic fund, the band and orchestra concert, and entitles each person to an annual. The Council also took charge of a Christmas party, which was held just before Christmas vacation and proved a great success. It subscribed for several magazines for the magazine rack which was bought this year. The officers this year were: President, Dorothy Johnson; vice-president, Roger Nielsen; secretary, Lucille Benner; treasurer, Marjorie Nielsen. “SO THIS IS LON BOX” The Hart High school faculty scored another direct hit in the presentation of that famous play. So This Is London. Even Will Rogers would be forced to admit that his Hollyw’ood cast could not have done better! Much of the success is due to the cast who acted their parts like professionals, and a great deal of the success is due to the able leadership of Dr. Cornell, who by his skill in directing, showed the players how’ to live their parts instead of acting them. Don Sumrill, a typical Englishman, did excep- tional work and was easily the star of the play in the part of Sir Percy Beauchamp. Hubert Shinn, as Hiram Draper, the American millionaire. proved beyond a question that Hiram was typically American. The two above stars were supported by the following cast: Elinor Beauchamp. Marjorie Case; I-ady Amy Ducksworth, Emma Hutchins; Mrs. Hiram Draper, Winifred Sumrill; Flunky, Norman Billings; Alfred Honeycutt, Maurice Snow; I idy Beauchamp, Ella McCall; Thomas, a butler, Glenn Cowles; Jennings, a butler, Jasper Olendorf; director of play, Dr. Cornell.

Under the able leadership of Mr. Nielsen we began another year’s work in music. A number of new members were added making a total of about twenty-five in our school orchestra. Many new selections were also added this year which made the work more interesting to all. We met every Monday after school for practice. We played at the Faculty and Normal plays, also at those given by the Juniors and Seniors and at “Recognition Day” program. We feel that much has been gained during oui-work in the orchestra and that our time has been well spent. —Marguerite North. Page Forty-one THE HAHTIAN, 1931. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Top Ro IIh Cargill.

Flcyd Rumohr, Coach Cowles, Matt Crosby, Ronald Gray, Eugene Jensen. Hart’s Agricultural Department eclipsed all former records in fruit and judging work for the past year, out distancing all of the 203 other Smith-Hughes Departments in the State. Displays exhibited by Hart students won first in the High School Class and second in the large County Class at the Sta'c Fair at Detroit. Next came the Oceana County Fair and the Fennville Fruit Show where Mr. Cowles “Lighthouse” display won first honors. In the two remaining shows Hart placed second to Fennville at the Bangor Apple Show but won the Free Press Cup at the State Horticultural Show at Grand Rapids. In Apple Judging, Hart teams were equally successful, placing first in all contests. At Fennville, Louis Barton, IOugene Jensen. I owcll Skinner and alternates Floyd Rumohr and Clarence Hale, scored 461.5 points over their nearest rival, South Haven, with Bangor and Benton Harbor trailing third and fourth. At Sparta, Hart's sec- ond team. Clarence Hale. Sylvester Graff. Bertil Krantz and alternate Donald Harris won over feur other first teams, namely Fennville, Zeeland, Fremont and Belding. There preliminary contests are practice meets preparatory for the State Contest late in the fall. The Hart team composed of Matt Crosby, Floyd Rumohr, Kugene Jensen and alternates, Ronald Gray and Louis Barton, not only won as a team but also placed first, second and third as individuals in competition with eighteen other schools and over fifty contestants. The Hart boys scored 363.4 points above their nearest competitor. Fennville. with Berrien Springs and Imlay City next in order. The winning of this contest gives Hart three State Championship Apple Judging Teams in the last four years. Also the fine record of this years second team bids fair to give Hart another well-trained team next year. Fnirc Forty-five THE HARTIAN, 1931 DEBATING TEAM Mnrion Skinner. Roper Nielsen. Dorothy VanWickic. Minor McCann. Miss Wiekes (Coach) Hart High school was represented in the Debating League by Marion Skinner, Dorothy Van-Wiekle and Norman Kuhne with Raymond Ix renz as alternate on the affirmative team. Marion Skinner, Minor McCann and Roger Nielsen with Robert Wiegers as alternate on the negative team. From the standpoint of winning debates the teams were not altogether successful, but an abundance of good sound experience was gained. The work was carried on under the capable tutelage of Miss Wickes. The subject for debate was the very appropriate one concerning the chain stores. Resolved: That the national chain stores are a detriment to the people of Michigan. Since there was much legislation and controversy over the issue it proved to be intensely interesting; the affirmative team attempting to lay the chains low and the negative teams lauding the chain’s sound economic basis.” With Norman Kuhne, Robert Wiegers, Raymond . Lorenz and Marjorie Nielsen and possibly some other as yet undiscovered debate prodigies, Hart promises to be well represented in the debate field for the coming season.

This was the first year in our school to record the organization of a commercial club. Membership is open to any of the students taking bookkeeping, typing or shorthand. The activities of the club are directed by a president, a vice-president, and a secretary-treasurer. assisted by various committees. The social affairs of the year included a Commercial Club banquet and an outdoor picnic which were enjoyed by all. The purpose of the club is to supplement the work of the class room by bringing the members into closer touch with real business situations. The Shorthand and Typing contest, held annually at Muskegon, is one of the most interesting events of the commercial students. Officers President Bernice Shimkus. Vice-president—Vera Stevens. Secretary-treasurer—Ruth Swartz. Pace Forty-seven THE HARTIAN, 1931 •+ Dramatic Club Among the interesting activities of the school year was the Dramatic Club. Norman Kuhne, with the assistance of several other students, was the instigator of plans for such a club. This group was intent on making dramatics a vital part of the school life for all the students to whom dramatics appealed. With Mrs. Hutchins, who kindly consented to act as coach of such a club. the plans quickly terminated into a reality and an organization meeting was called for the afternoon of February 2G in Mrs. Hutchins’ room. A constitution and by-laws were ably drafted by Norman. These were adopted by the member-rhip of twenty. Flection of officers resulted in Norman Kuhne being elected as president, LeNore Hanson as secretary-treasurer. The work of the club assumed an active interest from the beginning. Posture, expression, voice quaPfications were stressed by Mrs. Hutchins as first requisites among the attainments of the members. A play, “Training Mary” by Mary fhaw Page was selected as a medium through which acting experience was given each individual. The arrangement was in three groups. each group enacting the entire play. From these three groups the final cast was chosen, this cast being the one to enact the play to an audience composed of students, faculty and the public near the close of the school year. Those taking part in the final production were Norman Kuhne, Marian Skinner, John Schofield, Grace Schofield, Vera Stevens and Edith Dempsey. From the applause given them by the audience it was apparent that each starred in his or her own right and that each consciously or unconsciously was “Hollywood” bound. While every member cooperated and had a share in the delight Til success of the club, ’twas to Mrs. Hutchins’ tireless efforts that this success was so pleasing. Mrs. Hutchins puts it” in all the dramatics she directs with the result that success is conceded in anything with which she associates herself—even on the start; hence, with the start of this first year, the Dramatic (Tub has a value that may prove encouragement for its being continued as an integral part of high school activities. —LeNore Hanson. IIS Science Club The Hart High school Science Club was organized the second semester of the 1930-1931 school year for the purpose of creating an interest in science and giving more time to extensive study of different phases of science. The following officers were elected: President Edwin Hopper. First Vice-president—Peter Norraard. Second Vice-president John Schofield. Third Vice-president—Minor McCann. Secretary-treasurer—Kathleen May. Advisor- Mr. Sumrill. We voted to have our meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The members of 1931’s Science Club sincerely hope that this organization will occupy a permanent place in the high school’s activities in future years. Kathleen May, Scc’y-Treas.

The Manistee team out-weighed the Hart boys nearly 20 pounds for each man. We managed to hold them down the first part of the game, but they were too large for us and we came home on the short end of the score, 27 to 0. The next week we went to Montague to play the best team that the school had ever produced. Captain Amslutz received an injury in the Manistee game and was unable to play in this game, which weakened our hack field considerably. We were close to scoring several times but was unable to put the hall across the line. We were defeated 18 to 0; the first time Hart had ever been beaten in football by that school. The next week with five players missing due to sickness and ineligibility we journeyed to Luding- ton and were again defeated 44 to 0. We had also lost the services of John Schofield, an able guard, due to an injured knee in the Montague game. We next played our first home game with Coopersville. Amstutz and Schofield were still unable to play. We were unable to get going until it was too late and lost our fourth game 6 to 0. The next game was our first Maseana League game. Scottville came down here with high hopes and very confident to take us into camp. We gave them a surprise in the first part of the game and carried the ball down to the goal line several times, but was unable to put it across in the first half. We came back the second half and out-played them to win our first victory, 13 to 7. This was the last game Captain Amstutz was able to play in. Our next home game was with Fremont. This was perhaps the best game we played during the season. It was a battle from start to finish and although we out-played them we were defeated 13 to 7.

Hart opened their season with five veterans: ('apt., Leon Spitler, Lloyd Wieting, Matt Crosby, Toni McMillan and Noret Flood. They started with a practice game against Whitehall, defeating them 26 to 23 after a hard fought battle. On December 12 Hart went to Scottville and brought home a 25 to 16 victory. The team next traveled to St. Simons at Lud-ington and lost a hard fought battle 16 to 17. Hart won their first home game from Montague quite easily after a very fast start in the first quarter which gave them a large lead. The Reserves played almost all the last quarter. Next we won from the confident Pentwater team. The reserves held them from scoring and gained on the Pentwater team. We dropped our next home game to Ludington 26 to 14. In our first game between Hart and Shelby we won 11 to 4. On January 23 Scottville came to Hart and we took them into camp 16 to 11. We next went to Montague, our first game after the semester ended. We had lost our center, Wieting, and had to break in a new one in this game. We lost after a desperate fight, 21 to 9. January 30 we played the alumni and lost 24 to 11. Following this the six-footers from Holland Christian came to Hart and defeated us 36 to 16. February 13 must have been unlucky because we were unable to get started right and lost to Fremont 9 to 27. After we lost to Fremont we decided that it was about time we won a game and went to Pentwater determined to win. There was close scoring throughout the game until the last few minutes when Hart got a lead and won 22 to 17. We next went to Shelby and due to a very fast start and exceptional good eye for the basket in the first few minutes we came hack defeated 27 to 12. On February 25 St. Simons came to Hart which was the game to decide whether Hart won the Maseana League championship in basketball or St. Simons. Hart was slow starting in the first half and St. Simons gained quite a lead and were sure they were going to win at the half time. But late in the second half Tom McMillan dropped one through, then we started ringing up the points and St. Simons was unable to stop us so we came out on top of the heap 21 to 19. We played our last game before the tournament with Fremont and was beaten 9 to 23. The next few days we spent in getting ready for the tournament. We drew Shelby for the first night. When we arrived at Fremont coach Olen-dorf took us for a walk and then we went in and got dressed, ready for the battle.

To take the place of basketball, which was abolished last year, a system of gymnasium, volley ball, and inter-class basketball was worked out, under the supervision of Mrs. Olendorf. The girls were divided into squads with a Senior acting as captain of each squad. We practiced every Monday, Wednesday and Friday night after school from 4:00 to 5:30 o’clock. On December 16, we had a party instead of regular practice. Games and dancing was enjoyed by all. Ice cream lollypops were served for refreshments. The following captains and advisors were elected for the inter-class basketball tournament: Seniors, Genevieve Beuber, Miss McCall; Juniors, Alta Ueames, Miss Dersnah; Sophomores, Maxine Bender, Miss Stocum; Freshmen, Doris Bran-del, Miss Bowen.

Hart opened this baseball season of 1930 with the following letter men back: Richard Jensen, Fred Ferry, Abe Evans, Harold Freeborn, Ernest McCarty. Hart had a fairly successful season, winning four games and losing two. We won our first game at Custer on a windy afternoon 17 to 12. The next week we played Walkerville in a close game which we won 3 to 2. Hart played two games with Shelby this year. Roth were close and hard fought games, winning one 8 to 7 and losing the other 5 to 7. Our last game was with Scottville, the best FOOTBALL—Continued from Cage Fifty Hart's old rival, Shelby. We out-played Shelby by a large margin but was unable to score more than once. We were in their territory most of the game. Shelby received their touch down by a pass to Ford on the thirty yard line which he carried over for six points. The game ended a tie, G to G, which gave us the Maseana League championship in football. Our season this year was not very successful but due to the able work of our coach. Mr. Olendorf, we were successful in receiving the cup for Maseana League championship in football. The men receiving letters this year were: Matt team in the league. We also lost this game 5 to 7, which gave Scottville the Maseana League championship in baseball. Fred Ferry did most of the pitching this season but was relieved at times by Lloyd Wieting. Most of the team graduates this year but we have some good material left and with some good reserve material we hope Mr. Olendorf’s team next season will have a very successful season. Men receiving baseball letters wrere Richard Jensen, Noret Flood, Lloyd Wieting, Leon Peterson, Wayne Burdick, Fred Ferry, Abe Evans, Harold Freeborn, Ernest McCarty.

April 24, the different classes in the high school met and held an inter-class track meet. The outcome was the discovery of some very good track material which Mr. Cowles did not know about. On May 29th we had a track meet with Scott-ville which we won quite easily. We next had a triangular meet with Fremont and Shelby at Fremont in which Fremont won. Fremont received 51 points for first, Hart 49 for second, and Shelby 6 for last. We next hada meet with Shelby which we won very easily by a large score. Hart went to thi Regional track meet at Cadillac and placed third, receiving 18 5-6 points. Reed City placed first with 31 1-3 points, Boyne City second with 25 1-3 points.

The score was rather close throughout the game but in the last few minutes we gained a lead which Shelby was unable to overtake and we won 12 to 10. We stayed over at Fremont that night and played Grant the next night. We were unable to make our shots in the game and lost 12 to 16. This ended our season for 1931. Hart had quite a successful season this year, winning eight games and losing nine counting the tournament games. We won the Maseana League cup in basketball this year. We were successful in beating Shelby two out of three games which should show that we had the better team. Coach Olendorf has some valuable Reserve material to work with next year and we hope he will have a winning team next year and can go further in the tournament than we did.

STUDENT COUNCIL PARTY To start the year out right a party was given Friday, Oct. 3 sponsored by the Student Council. The auditorium was decorated like Hallowe’en. Rags Riley’s Orchestra furnished the music for those who danced and games were enjoyed by others. Cider and doughtnuts were served and everyone went home feeling the evening had been well spent. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshman class entertained the High school and faculty by giving a gay costume party on April 24. The auditorium was decorated in the Freshman colors of green and silver with baskets of pussy-willows and daffodils. Music for those who wished to dance was furnished by Riley’s Orchestra, and games were enjoyed by those who did not wish to dance. Lollipops were served and at the end of the evening all left feeling they had spent an enjoyable evening. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY The Sophomores entertained the faculty and High school at a dancing party in the auditorium March 20. The gym was cleverly decorated in red and white and comfortable chairs lined the room. Music was furnished by Rags Riley’s Orchestra for those who danced and games were played by those who did not.

Ice cream cones were served as refreshments. Everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time. JUNIOR PARTY On the 30th of January the Juniors entertained the faculty, students and their parents with their annual party. The auditorium was decorated in red, white and blue. Rags Riley’s Orchestra furnished the music for those who cared to dance while those who did not dance played checkers and chess. During intermission Ruth Ellen Sherman and Edith Dempsey played two piano duets. Punch and wafers were served. SENIOR CLASS PARTY The Seniors were fortunate in having the date for their party come in December at the time when the air was fairly charged with Christmas spirit. Majestically centered in the big auditorium was a Christmas tree beautifully trimmed in tinsel, and Christmas snow. Smaller trees were placed at intervals around the room while at one end a rest corner was featured where beauty and comfort entranced one into “lingering longer” there. Lights diffused through red and green, shading, lent an atmosphere to the whole that transferred the guests, in an imaginative way, to Santa Claus land as they had known it in their younger days. In the halls were game tables for those who did not dance. The Rags Riley Orchestra furnished the music for the evening and many numbers brought forth an encore. The climax of the evening came with the arrival of Santa Claus (impersonated by Miss Marion Skinner) who distributed sacks of candy and pop corn and an occasional peanut in the shuck. Munching on this delightful treat, unnatural reserve was discarded by even the most timid ones and a real, enthusiastic good time resulted. Miss McCall as class advisor, assisted on all committees in connection with the party arrangements. Guests of the evening were the students, faculty, school board and the parents. CHRISTMAS PARTY On Friday afternoon, December 19, Mr. Snow entertained the High school and faculty with a Christmas party in the auditorium which was decorated for the Christmas spirit. Music furnished by the Junior Orchestra. During intermission presents not exceeding a dime were handed out by Santa Claus, impersonated by Ernest McCarty. Popcorn and Christmas candy was served.

At every one he reads he cries I’ve heard that joke before! Burdick: “Where did you get that puncture?” Kuhne: “Oh, I guess there must have been a fork in the road.” About the only great sensation left in trans-Atlantic aviation would be to hear that a Scotchman came across. You have heard of the Scotchman who tried to get honey out of a B battery. Here lies an editor Snooks, if you will, In mercy, kind Providence, Let him lie still. He lied for a living So he lived while he lied. When he could lie no longer, He lied down and died. “A man is a man because his fathers were human beings, and a goose is a goose for the same reason.”—Ama. Magazine. Marjorie M.: “Now what are you stopping for?” Frankie, as car comes to a halt: “I’ve lost my bearings.” M. M.: “Well, at least you are original, most fellows run out of gas. She had her face lifted so often that she parts her hair by smiling. Lloyd: “Know the halitosis song?” Otto: “No, what is it?” Lloyd: “Moonbeams, kiss her for me.” L. Benner: Well, what about the laughing pickpocket? G. Lindgren: He couldn’t take things seriously. When the color scheme for the Junior play posters was worked out was the designer observing St. Patrick’s day or was it to signify unripe cherries?

Kuhne: “On page 84.” Sing out you Glee Clubbers. Be more enthusiastic. Now open your mouth and throw yourself into it. Sumrill, in Physics class: “All things will come to those who will but wake, Wayne.” Pop: “Son, what is a hypocrite?” B. Carclay: “A boy who comes to school with a smile on his face.” The height of inappropriateness was achieved when on a solemn eve an ardent young orator lauded and relauded the 18th amendment. But alas, and unfortunately the band which was rehearsing directly below (a trying ordeal when the right notes are played) broke out merrily into the “Stein Song.” 0..............................................

Barton (at basketball game) “I’ve a feeling that the score will be 19-24 in favor of Hart.” C. Story: “Why don’t you make it up to date and say 19-31?” ♦ We wonder why they didn’t let the Frosh and Soph, classes sell tickets for the Junior play also. (Heard in an audible whisper) Washington saved us from England’s apron strings; Lincoln freed the negroes from servitude, and Hoover, (who?) Hoover freed the men from work. Snow: “Do you use baby talc on your child?” Shinn: “No, indeed, we use only the very best English.” M. Crocby to B. Tice: “Just because your dad is fire-chief you think you’re the whistle.” ♦ S. Dillingham: “Baby, I can read you like a book.” V. B.: “But you can’t shut me up like one.” ♦ Marsh: “I is—” Hutchins: “You mean, I am.” Marsh: “I am is the ninth letter in the alphabet.” Leon S.: “I knew a man who had been in this country seven years and couldn’t speak a word of English.” D. Dcmmon: “Why, that’s awful, what did he do?” L. S.: “He worked down at Central Station calling trains.” Otto: “All I am I owe to him.” George L.: “Why don’tcha pay him the 30c and call it square.” K. May: Are you going to take up bacteriology? Edith D.: Don’t bacilli. Pat: “I pick most of my jokes out of the air.” Gladys P.: “Why don’t you go out where there is some fresh air then?” Sumrill, After looking at the arc light: “Everything looks white to me!” Bill I.eicht, handing him a blue excuse: “Me too.” First prize for the most often announced activity goes to the Chess and Checker club. A visitor at school noticed a would-be student observing the time-piece (Anti-Bulova). He approached the lad and said, “Son, the movements of the pendulum are marvelous, are they not?” “Oh, I’m always more interested in the move-iuc.it of the hands.” Christmas week slogan—The present time will scon be passed. • Old Manse: “What! You want to marry my daughter? Why she’s a mere child.” “Yes sir, I thought I would come early and avoid the rush.” S:ranger: “At the age of 12 I was left an orhpan.” M. Crosby: “Yea, what’d ya do with it?” One Freshman: “I’m from Missouri, you’ll have to show me.” Another dumbell: “I’m from Elgin, just watch.” T.

Leon Peterson lets W. W. denote something that’s worth while. Picture his abbreviation for something that isn’t worth while. ♦ J. Schofield, peering at his problem, “I can’t tell whether I meant this for 5 or 9.” Sumrill: “Neither can I.” ♦ Mike: “Me brudder fell down on his job.” Mose: “Whatsa matter, ain’t there no other job?” Mike: “No more, he was a steeple jack.” Doris H.: “Doc told me I had a weak constitution.” L. Barton: “Why don’t you get it amended?” Flood: “I’ve got a new dog for which I paid $300, he's part bull and part collie.” Bob D.: “I bet I know which part is bull.” Flood: “Which?” B.
