now numbered only thirteen. Noble Smith, one of our basketball players, left school to work in Flint; Walter Schmidt entered Ferris Institute, Big Rapids; Gladys Streeter entered training as a nurse in the Saginaw General Hospital; Ada Doyle left school but still resides in Hemlock. Soon school will close again for vacation; upon entering again we hope it will be as Seniors, and to the Sophomores we leave the laboratory and physics book and our name as Juniors, hoping that they will prove as worthy as we have tried to be.
