I, as president, find it my privi- lege to voice the sentiment of the class in our farewell. Would it not be interesting to know just how many class presidents in the towns and cities of the United States are delivering a similar address, either tonight or some night in the immediate future? And when you think of similar occasions in the Junes of 1923 and 1922 and all the Junes back to the first graduation from the first high school do you wonder that originality seems impossible? In fact, in taking leave of you I seem to be restricted to the use of four words. In simple English I may say good-bye or farewell, while in more elegant French it might be adieu or au-revoir. And so to avoid the ordinary I shall not consider this occasion as one which makes necessary a farewell. For every one believes that the mental and spiritual predominate over the physical, and separation is only a breaking of physical associations. We are assured that remem- brances of all you will never be wanting to us and we trust that we will live in your memories. By our schoolmates we shall always be remembered as pals and comrades, who shared joys and hardships during the happy irrespon- sible schooldays. Time which brings new happiness and new sorrow can only make these memories more treasured. “That old gang of mine’’ will ever be a phrase to awaken thoughts of times and places dear to us all. The word separation when used in regard to our parents, seems entirely out of place. Home will always be home. To the heart of a mother who is absent from her child, distance does not exist. Mother love, the most unselfish affection in the universe, reaches to the highest peaks of accomplishment and to the lowest depths of degradation. Father love though less celebrated by poets is never-the-less just as deep and far reaching. In the mind of a parent the son or daughter though middle aged never quite ceases to be thought of as “our baby”. This is not the attitude of the teacher toward the pupil; to him the pupil is a growing personality. Undoubtedly in the future our teachers will be extremely interested in watching our development. So far they have had a great part in making us what we are. It will bring them satisfaction to notice in our careers the marks of their influence. Although we have been of no extraordinary importance in the com- munity, yet we believe we hold no small place in the hearts of you our friends. We know that your memories will be filled with praise for our success and charity for our mistakes. May we ever have as sympa- thetic critics as you have been. Class History Chapter I. (Freshmen) It was one beautiful morning in September 1920, when the class of 1924 entered high school as freshmen. There were thirteen of them, six boys and seven girls. That class contributed, George Mueller, Rhine- hart Bauer, Walter Hutfiltz, Wilbert Goodman, Erma Bremer, Gladys McBratnie and Beulah Beamish to athletics. At the first class meeting purple and gold were selected for class colors, yellow rose for class flower, and the following officers were elected. President ........................... Rhinehart Bauer Vice President...........................George Mueller Secretary.................................Delia Woodhull Treasurer...................... Carrie Trombley Chapter II. (Sophomores) When we re-entered school after vacation we were full of ambition to keep up our former record. There were only ten tnembers in the class because four members had dropped out and one new one had entered. To show our oratorical ability we presented a declamatory contest before the public. That year we contributed Wilbert Goodman, Thelma Kline, Erma Bremer, and Gladys McBratnie to athletics. The class officers were as follows: President.........................Delia Woodhull Vice President....................George Mueller Secretary ........................ Carrie Trombley Treasurer ........................... Erma Bremer Chapter III. (Juniors) In entering school in our Junior year we were depleted in quantity but resplendent in quality. The class now consisted of nine members, two having dropped out and one new member having entered. The Juniors gave a banquet in honor of the basket ball team. We con- tributed Wilbert Goodman, Gladys McBratnie, Erma Bremer and Thel- ma Kline to athletics. The class officers were elected as follows: President ........................ Beulah Beamish Vice President..........................Edna Fiting Secretary ........................ Carrie Trombley Treasurer ............................ Erma Bremer Chapter IV. (Seniors) And then we were Seniors and embarked upon the final stage of our voyage. Though literally swamped with work we found time to enter into various undertakings for money and fun. Early in the year we bought our class rings, we being the first class to have ones adopted by the entire high school as a school ring. Our money for graduation was raised by two well attended Coffees and a play, “Cranberry Cor- ners,” which was very successfully presented at three different times, twice at Hemlock and once at Freeland. Our school parties contributed their share of fun. Our officers were: President ...................... Beulah Beamish Vice President..................Carrie Trombley Secretary and Treasurer ............. Edna Fiting When we think of parting we begin to realize how happy we have been in these four years of work and play, and how dear we have grown to each other. But we are comforted since we know that as the years roll on the class of 1924 will be remembered as one of the finest of dear old Hemlock High School. EDNA FITING.

S. We have had two class parties, one at the school October 5, and a sleigh ride to the Pangborn Brothers’ home February 2. A good time was reported by all. Four of the Junior boys played on the first basket ball team, and two girls on the girls’ first team.

Douglas Clason, Eugene Holt and Dale Mitte were the athletes of our class. We successfully entertained the assembly several times. Six boys of our class presented a debate at Parent-teachers’ meeting. The subject was: Resolved; that a technical education is preferable to a general educa- tion. The negative was successful in winning the debate. Four members of our class were members of the staff; Clarence Fiting, Douglas Clason, Clara Hingston, and Carmon Alderton.

Freshman Class Notes During the third week we were initiated, bought all the green rib- bon in town and fell into line behind the Sophs. The evening of February 1, we went for a sleigh ride and were entertained at the Watson Sisters’ home. A very good time was enjoyed by all. Two of the Freshman girls played on the basket ball first team, Elsie Strobel as jumping center and Laverne Doerr as running center. Rhea Watson and Ernestine Ling played on the second team.

Junior High Notes At the opening of school September 1923, twenty-four pupils wen- enrolled in the Junior High room. Three of these left us but others were enrolled, keeping the average about the same throughout the year. We did our bit in the morning exercises, the carnival and in the pro- grams for Parent-Teachers Association meetings. Marked improvement has been made in penmanship and we hope that some will be able to secure Palmer diplomas next year. The seventh grade made some very unique health posters as a project in hygiene. Hilda Zabel shows unusual ability in drawing. The eighth grade did intensive work in History, Civics, Current Topics and Agriculture. They wrote some very good essays. On the whole we can report a very successful year. MISS J. WINSLOW (Reporter). Intermediate Room Notes The boys and girls of the intermediate room have tried to make this year one of the most successful years they have had. Our first good time was the Hallowe’en party. We all came dressed up as ghosts or witches, and played many games. Between the Holowe’en party and Christmas the room had many spelling matches, and tests in different subjects. On Christmas we had a program and invited our parents to hear it. Afterwards we had a lunch and went home for a vacation. About a month after our vacation we had some seats taken out so as to have more room. We bought a phonograph to march and exer- cise by. The parents enjoyed our exercises at the Parent-Teachers’ meeting and the children of our room have enjoyed the phonograph very much. With these enjoyments our school work has been interesting this year. MARY ELEANOR SHELTRAW. Primary Room Notes School life in the primary room was filled with many pleasant inci- dents. For ten months thirty little boys and girls worked and played together. September:—The first activity was the building and furnishing of the store. This was enjoyed throughout the year and furnished ade- quate and interesting material for language and arithmetic. October:—Halowe’en afternoon found the Brownies and the Witches at school. The intermediate room was invited in and the games were enjoyed. November:—The story of the Pilgrims caused much enthusiasm. We ground corn into meal between two stones and dressed to represent Indians and Pilgrims. December:—The children prepared a Mother Goose program for their parents and Santa. Santa was so well pleased that he left a sack of candy for each child. January:—The children were very much interested in the life of the Esquimo. They studied them and drew pictures of the things they used. February:—The mothers, thinking they would like to spend a few hours at school, came at noon with well filled baskets and remained for the work of the afternoon. March:—We helped furnish a program for the Parent-Teachers’ meeting. April:—Anticipation of the Easter bunnies caused great excitement among the children. May:—The children were busy preparing a Mothers’ Day program. June:—We reached a fitting climax when all the youngsters came with well filled baskets for the last great event of the year. MRS. C. P.

Big- gest and best because it was not the work of a single organization or class but the combined efforts of the entire student body working for a definite goal, that goal was the 1924 year book. A huge red and white “Welcome” was the first evidence of ho pitality, then one was directed downstairs to the dining room. The students themselves could hardly realize the wonderful change they wrought in the dark basement class hall. Red and white paper emerging from green boughs had been caught around a great white light forming a cone like balcony over two long white tables. The cozy corner under the stairway with its porch furniture and shaded lamps proved to be a popular place. The lab. had been tuined into a regular self serve counter, and certainly was an active place carnival night. Loretta, Zeta, Gladys and Grace helped our hungry guests and Dave and Pete exer- cised on the ice cream dip. Henry and Clarence H. actually washed dishes. After supper was over you were ready for upstairs and such a gala place as it was. The same decorating scheme had been carried out as was used in the lower hall. One could hardly imagine such a large crowd in our school house or such a gay one. Everyone wore bright and giddy clown hats, everyone was talking at the same time. Boys with sqawkers raised the pitch just a little and the Tin Pan side show orchestra was promenading about doing their bit. Si Ault’s, “They’re hot, they’re all hot” echoed by a similar statement from Emma could be heard when you came near their red and white dog stand just outside the High room. In an adjoining booth Laverne and Bee sold pounds of wonderful home made candy. The fish pond delighted the children and Clara and Margaret were kept busy supplying fish. Miss Winslow’s room had blossomed into a regular Jeffers Strand vaudeville. Dainty Ruth Margaret Beaver and Gertrude Thomas gave a much appreciated character song and dance. Ernestine and Mary made a hit as black face comedians and cleverly sang Southern darkie songs. Carmon and Eugene startled all with their clever magic. Myrtle and Gladys McBratnie dressed as ragged tramps, were well received with a program of jokes and comic songs. Thelma Kline’s solo added much to the program. The High room was the home of the movie. Two excellent com- edies, “Apple Sauce” and “All Wet” kept our guests in an uproar of laughter. “Fine pictures”, “Just as good as you see in Saginaw,” were some remarks heard concerning them. A radio concert was also en- joyed. The Dippy House had just the right amount of horror. One minute you were frightened to death and the next you were laughing wildly. A clever one act play was put on in Miss Pahl’s room. Hulda War- din as a talkative country woman waiting for the train was certainly a character. Clarence Fiting portrayed the handsome young station agent who was much bored at the lady’s remarks. The Tin Pan orchestra also gave a few special numbers. Carrie and Delia, highly painted and Gipsy attired would tell you your past, present and future for just a little tip. The Carnival was a great financial success and it made our year book possible. But the biggest victory was that of school spirit. The students of Hetnlock High School realize that we are a body working and playing together. GRACE BAXTER.

Delia Woodhull The Seniors, and also the Juniors, and Sophomores who so willingly and ably assisted them, deserve high praise for the way in which they presented the Senior Play. It was a pronounced success both from a dramatic and a financial standpoint. It was presented three times; on April fourth and fifth at the Hemlock town hall, and on April nine- teenth at the Freeland Hall. About one hundred twenty five dollars was taken in at these three performances. Part of the money went to meet the graduation expenses of the Seniors and the remainder helped to finance the annual. The plot of the play centers around the love affair of Cariotta Bannister and Tom Dexter, of whom her stylish aunt Mrs. Bannister dis- approves. She desires Cariotta to marry Sidney Everett, a New York society man. Cariotta is x-escued from this fate by Tom assisted by Fred- eric Bannister, who proves to be Carlotta’s father. Much humor is introduced by Mrs. Muslin and Hezekiah Hopkins who marry and go to New York on their “Weddin’ tower”. Nathan Speck, the hired man, also has his troubles in winning the hired girl, Bella Ann. Delia Woodhull took a small part in the play but contributed much to its success by taking full charge of the specialties given between acts. These were unusually good. The musical part was given by Ruth Margaret Beaver, Gertrude Thomas, Kenneth Foye, and Mr. Clark. Pauline Kline and Clara Hingston entertained with readings. Gladys McBratnie and Myrtle Smith made very clever clowns. R. DOCKHAM. We feel that the success of our play was greatly due to the efforts of Miss Dockham who proved a very able coach.
