Since it was hrst opened in the fall of 1925, two additions have been completed. The addition of an elementary department has made a complete course from kindergarten to the twelfth grade possible in the one building. The school-a main building and the newly completed south wing whose first two floors house the elementary department-faces Iroquois Drive in a beautiful set' ting of one of the Hnest residential sections of the city. At the rear is the athletic field which includes a football gridiron, a track, three tennis courts and a playground for outside gymnasium. In the newest addition, which has just been completed, there is a room finished in the Old English style-a beamed ceiling, dark paneled walls and colored win' dowsewhich is to be used for English and dramatic classes. The outside outline and position of the school may best be seen by a birds eye view from the air. Near at hand is Franklin Park, which is used by the botany classes for the study of trees, and by the second and third football teams as a practice held. f Close to the school is Calvin College, which, together with the surrounding district, may be seen from the band room, the highest part of the building.

W, 'ff FACULTY At the close of the first school year of 19254926 the faculty of Qttawa Hills was composed of thirty members. Fifty per cent of that first group had their degrees. Now at the end of the sixth year of school and the graduation of the first class which has made its way completely through the school from the seventh grade through the twelfth, the faculty has been enlarged until it has fiftyffour members. Of that num' ber, eightyffour per cent have bachelor's degrees and thirteen per cent have master's degrees also. Besides that there are five elementary teachers, two librarians and the principal's clerk. Twentyfthree different subjects were offered in the first year as compared to the thirtyfseven which are now on the program. Fifteen of the faculty now teach two different subjects and four even teach three. Eighteen teachers are home room sponsors. The faculty and the parents are brought in close contact with each other through the ParentfTeacher Association and the faculty is represented in that association by a teacher vicefpresident. Most of the faculty belong to the Grand Rapids' Teachers' Club which is composed of teachers from the entire city. Page Nineleen . f-li' i Henry D. MacNaughton, principal of Gttawa Hills, attended Western State Teachers' College, the University of Michigan, and Columbia University, from which schools he received his life certificate, A.B. degree, and M.A. degree. A As a result of his meritorious service in the World War, Captain MacNaughton, who was at that time affiliated with the Tennessee National Guard, was rewarded with the Croix de Guerre, a presentation of the French government, and the Disf tinguished Service Cross, the United States' war honor. Mr. MacNaughton's thorough understanding of boys and girls may be atf tributed to the fact that he is the father of three girls. Zelda, the oldest, is a senior at the University of Michigan. Jean is a junior at the U. of M., while Kathryn is a member of Central's senior class. According to Mrs. MacNaughton, who has spoken twice for the annual All Girls' Banquet and is much loved by all the girls, her husband's main hobby is children. Second to this he ranks soldiering. At present he is captain in the 126th Infantry of the Michigan National Guard, and every summer he goes to Grayling with the Grand Rapids Unit. Publicity is his pet aversion. He is very fond of art, good pictures, good literature, and good music, but he dislikes jazz. , X . T J XF Pane Twenty I Page Tll'PllIy'0fl8 if ri john Alden, lVl.A. Forest D. Gould A.B.

ENGLISH With nouns, pronouns, verbs, and the rest of the eight parts of speech, as with bricks and mortar, the Junior High students begin to lay the foundation of their language and sentences and para' graphs which later develop into themes. Great is the joy when it is duly an' nounced that short pilgrimages in literaf ture will be taken for a few days, from which they return greatly refreshed. And then, when it is revealed that speech and speaking will be advanced, glee reigns supreme, for these pupils greatly enjoy their Hrst attempts at debating and public speaking. Then these students enter the ninth grade with a great sense of pride and dignity and lay down their constructive tools at regular intervals to take longer and more extensive tours in Greece with Odysseus, in Rome with Caesar, and in England with Silas Marner and Ivanhoe. And what thrills are offered on a long voyage with the old and modern poets, and with famous essayists. After three years of labor, mingled continually with pleasures, it is crowned by a final trip lasting one whole year, taking the traveler all over England in the study of English literature and history. And then it is with great satisfaction and pride that the students who have persisted look back upon their completed pilgrimage. Offered in the English Course under a separate heading are the speech and def bating classes. Dramatics is also under the direction of the English department, and it is under this heading that plays and the dramatics for the operetta, which is produced every two years, come.

SOCIAL SCIENCE The social science department of Ottawa Hills is one that any school could be proud of. Modern history, American history, economics, and American governf ment are offered in the senior high, and American history, civics, World history, and ancient history in the junior high. Ancient history, taught by Miss McCarty, is a study of events from the earliest years of man through the Renaisf sance. Miss Caldwell teaches modern his' tory, which takes up the story where ancient history leaves oil and brings it up to the present day. The instructors in world history, a condensed form of ancient and modern history, are Mr. Cook and Miss Lalley. Miss McCarty, Miss Lalley, Mr. Kremble, and Mr, Giddings have the American history classes, which study the rise of our country. Two semesters of this are required for graduation. American government is the study of what goes on in the state, national, and local governmental organizations, and eco' nomics is the study of man's needs and how he provides for them. Both of these classes are taught by Mr. Kremble. In the junior high, civics corresponds, although more elementary in nature, to American government in the senior high. In the same Way, pupils in the American history classes of the junior high study practically the same thing, in a simplified form, as the senior students. Miss Paxton, Miss Loew, Miss Lalley, Miss Watrous and Miss Holcomb teach these subjects. Y Y: , , jmgfgg . . ' XXV' ' , III 1 , . Qffffd .

Grammar, of course, is a necessity, but it is made interesting through various journeys in literature, which include works and stories by famous French authors, such as Alexandre Dumas, Guy de Maupassaiit, and Victor Hugo. Reading and conversaf tion in French vary the work to a great FINE ARTS Art and music are required courses in the junior high school and give chiefly the foundation for an appreciation of the fine arts. The senior art department prepares the art material for all three school pubf lications and also advertising material for school entertainments. The vocal division of the music def partment offers voice culture, harmony, two glee clubs and an A Capella Choir. From the latter, members are sent to an allfcity choir. The junior and intermediate orchestras prepare the junior high people for the senior band or orchestra. In these sec' tions of music, conducting is a part of the practice. Members from the orchestra are sent to the Inter High Symphony. CXt6!'lt. Mary Horn, A.B. Q llzl Eleanor Verdier A.B.

These courses include bookkeeping, typewriting, business arithmetic, stenography, and com' mercial law. The school accounts are kept in the bookkeeping department and all mimeographing and school typewriting is done by students of that subject. MANUAL ARTS In the junior high the pupils are ref quired to take some sort of manual train' ing in which the student is prepared for the high school course. I The printing department turns out posters, tickets, and programs of all kinds and almost all the printed matter used in the school. The woodworking shop makes some very beautiful pieces of furniture. The scenery for the school plays and operettas is done, for the most part, by the wood' Working shop, which is their service to the school. The mechanical drawing classes are busy making blue prints and architectural plans. The engineering and architectural students take this course in preparation for their college work. In machine shop one works with steel, and all the steel fixtures for the school plays are made by this department. The home economics work for girls includes work in food and clothing. Girls are taught the selection, the preparation, and the serving of foods in the students' dining room on the third floor. In cloth' ing Work they make garments for them' selves and also costumes for the school plays. Elizabeth C. Matheson - i fi: Beulah jackson B.S. in-A'cis' . .. . '!f : ..

Over inter' est, percentage, and intuitive geometry, the junior high struggles as it prepares for the mathematics of high school. Finally comes the great mystery, algebra. How big that X looks as the freshmen ponder over lengthy equations and tangles of letters and Hgures. A year of algebra is finished and after that comes the higher science, geometry. If ever a student has to think, it is in this course. Triangles, squares, and circles form a haze of lines and angles that has to be penetrated. Aftera year of geometry some stu' dents apply themselves to solid geometry' or algebra III where all their previous knowledge is enlarged by new theorems and equations. After these two courses are completed trigonometry can be taken, which is the peak of our high school mathematicfs course. LIBRARY AND OFFICE A reference library which is open to students for outside class work every period of the day and which has access to the main library is included in the school facilities and is under the direction of two librarians: Miss Mast and Miss Beebe. The school records and supplies are carefully kept by Mrs. Haight, who also presides over the outer oiiice. NC PICTURES Bernice Creaser, A.B., M.A. Helen G. Haight, Clerk Marie Carling B.S.

The subject is a study of the universe and what is in it. After this course is finished the student who wishes to go to college is required to complete a year of one of the sofcalled laboratory sciences. Botany deals with plant life. It aims to give an idea of plants and plant life as a whole, their life processes and their imf portance to man. Zoology is the science of animals, their structure, habitat, life habits, and their relation to man, while Physiology is the study of the anatomy and functions of the human body. - Chemistry is a study of the elements and their compounds and how they react on one another. Ottawa has one of the inest chemistry laboratories in the city. Physics teaches about the principles of machines, of mechanics, 'of liquids, solids, gasses, light, heat, sound. mag' netism, and electricity, and some of their applications to everyday life.

The junior high is made up of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, while the senior high includes the tenth, eleventh and twelfth. The breach between these two sections is not very wide, however. A student hardly realizes when he passes from one department to the other. One of the objects of this plan is that assemblies of interest to both the adolescents and the more adult students can be planned. Members of the lower department have session rooms in the north end of the building, while those of the upper are in the south side. Session rooms have space for from fifty to more than one hundred students. A fivefminute period the first thing in the morning is devoted to announcements of many kinds-from the office, from school organizations, and for school functions. One session room is entirely devoted to students of the commercial department. Some of the home or session rooms, especially in the junior high, are organf ized for government on a small scale. Prizes, awarded to the session rooms, are used for improvements in the rooms, such as pictures, flags, and books. The junior and senior classes are separately organized with officers. The senior play, the main project of the senior class, enables it to present valuable gifts to the school. Some of the gifts have been large benches for the entrance hall, spacious trophy cabinets, and splendid electrical equipment for the auditorium. The Legend is a principal project of both the departments. Page Thirfy one fa . , i 4. ' I .1 '. 1 M ni-I.. 9+ L i V Y Eff? Y' fi E 'hlff i ' . l ' ' 4, Jr ,T U ..,-.--....sv-. ,NyU.,...Wv.. fri!

The scolor spake these words of wisdome. Sundry folk, from all parts of the city, in greate numbers they will come, you will join them wending on a pilgrymage, other lands for to seeke. You will gather under the direction of special teachers-good men and women to guide you through the paths, both narrow and rugged, to prepare you for the pilgrymage later. You specially privileged are, being the first clan to begynne your estate in the temple of Ottawa Hills, which do house your shrine. For two years you will seeke and learne at the portals, with ever the goal, as a beacon lighting your way. The clan listened and were careful seekers of learning-their visions kept they clear-for by the name, Great Class of 1931 would they be called, and they must be ready to join ye great company of Freshmen Pilgrymes. Befel that, in that season called Autumn, the pilgrymes of that company called Freshmen, wended their way to the shrine Ottawa Hills. Much learning have they not acquiredg like children are they all. The battle cry of the clan shall they learne and in the season of the games shall they carry that battle cry to the gridiron, where worthy knights of the pigfskin shall fight for their faith and conquer in many comf bats, In that first year the young knights and the young wymmen shall be taught to bear themselves full seemly. Chivalry shall they learn, respect for learning and to have devout courage and in combat must they struggle with one idea in mind- Success! Then when summer with breath sweet hath inspired in every field the tender crops, then all worthy pilgrymes the Hills they leave behind and pit their brain and brawn against other tasks. In the Autumn of the Second Year will they return to Ottawa Hills once again, their learning to apply to courses new. The Clan of the Sophomores are they called. Individuality shall begin to flower. Some gentle knights and ladyes to music lean and with harp and fiddle make melody. Others athletes choose to be, participating in the tournaments with other knights. Others excell in telling tales of history and stories of the clan, using the language of their glorious time. Befel this year the stronger ones the pilgrymage continue, the weaker by the roadside dropt. In that third year the clan enters the company of Junior Pilgrymes, redy to wenden on their pilgrymage and continue the tales left unfinished from the year before. Tournaments were given by the Senior Pilgrymes in fellowship to the Junior Pilgrymes, holping them to seeke by example and story the traditions and ideals of the upper clansmen. Much effort to comprehend is needed to apply the worthy les' sons explained by the knights of the Pilgrymes. The road to success more rugged becomes and strong knights and ladyes keep to the road with courage and strong hearts. The company of Senior Pilgrymes journeying to their shrine, the choice of the three previous companies, are worthy in trouth and honor-these knights and ladyes. The last year with hope is filled, 'Tis the last time their tales in this company will they hear. The adventure endeth soon-sad of heart are they. Strongly bound tof gether by knightly ideals, closer friendships, mutual objectives, and a wide vision, they journey on. The leaders of the Pilgrymage, gracious and helpful friends are they, and to be emulated. The journey is nearing its end with no wall too high to climb, to reach the goal of success. Without any longer tarryings these pilgrymes of the Great Class of 1931 press forward and reach the goal-their shrine, to be a graduate of Ottawa Hills-each boy to fare forth a verry parfit gentle knight-each girl a verry pariit gentle ladye.

THE PATH WE ARE TO TRAVEL As a representative of the class of '31 it seems appropriate for the class orator to touch upon some problem or subject, with which every senior should be aware, before entering perhaps the most important realm of life. For six years the Seniors of '31 have been under the influence of the educaf tional and social powers of Ottawa Hills. For six years we have been striving, definitely or indefinitely, to achieve the ability for success, whether it be in college, business, or in the home. We have looked forward longingly and with awe to the time when we should be the upper classmenkthe intellect of the school. Now the end of our high school career suddenly looms before us. We are the upper classmen, but we are forced to regard ourselves with more serious actualities and less awe and dreaming, for, as we realize that we are seniors, we wonder if we have been negligent in our attempt for achievement. We wonder if we are prepared to meet the broader Helds of life successfully. It must be considered profoundly be' fore we take his drastic step into the future. There are three things which we must determine-three 'dimensions of our lives, which every senior should be aware are vital to the development of our inf tellects, our characters, our entire personalities. They are breadth, depth, and length. The breadth of our lives indicates how comprehensive and extensive our inf tellects have been developed or how capable of development, plus the ability of applying our intelligence, ideas, and thoughts to practical use. The educational system of Ottawa Hills has presented us with influences which should have served to develop our intellects. For the active person it has succeeded extremely well. His capacity for knowledge is being developed rapidly, for he is the student-the scholar-the good L'Allfaround active personality. The passive, or inactive personality, however, has not succeeded as definitely. He, instead of acting, of working, is willing to be acted upon-to be a pupil, a follower rather than a leader. He has not succeeded in developing his intellect through his own efforts but has accepted the efforts of others combined with very little cooperation. Although acquiring knowledge is intensely important in the development and broadening of a personality, selfish accumulation of knowledge cannot be broaden' ing in itself. It must be accompanied by the ideas and food for thought which are given to, and derived from, other personalities. Without this-there is a tendency toward a narrow mind, rather than a broadened one. The second, and perhaps the most important dimension of our lives is depth. One's depth is the profoundness of the innermost emotions and feelings and, through these, his effect upon society. There are many types of characters in our senior class. They have become that type of personality through the extent of their susceptibility toward, or their control of their emotions and feelings. It is probable that many have not made as good records of their high school year as possible. The temptation toward indolence, artifice, and hygienic delinquencies, which everyone possesses, has overbalanced the ability to control their emotions. Some have seem' ingly had perfect control, and have expanded the depths of their lives by developf ing their characters for the benefit of themselves and society. We realize that it is , A. A Uv . can if is-' - -. lm l .. .ws at .Ma 'P .Vw ' ei' Page Fifty-fhree .. l. ,- 1 v. 3 fri' . '1'f-'M ,Sv .1 9 u i -Till? ' 3 ' fi tl' . .4 igilf' WM l 'QB diva, .'.li!lll.'Hl3.t' a more diilicult task to overcome these delinquencies on the part of some personalif ties than others-it requires a great deal of will power-but it can and must be done. The last dimension of a personality is length. The length of our lives may be considered from two distinct angles-the extent of time or the space from the be' ginning to the end of our lives and the extent that each person's mind, and body are in an action during each moment of his existence. The first angle toward length needs no explanation. The number of years, however, of life is determined in many cases by character and habit. Length in itself is not as important as depth and breadth-and the more ambif tion, enthusiasm, and ability a person possesses for living a deep and broad life, the more he will have lived during each moment. It is vital that our minds and bodies are active to the fullest extent during each moment of our lives. Our educational system, combined with our other environments has had a great influence in our development thus far. Now we are beginning another realm of life and with commencement each individual in our senior class, with the experif ence of our high school careers, mistakes and accomplishments, are given a fresh start. Each one of us aspires to success in some way. To achieve this purpose we must broaden our lives, for intellectual ability in acquiring knowledge and applying it is one of the most important mediums to success. We must deepen our lives and overcome all tendencies toward indolence, artifice and hygienic delinquencies, for through this medium our characters, our habits, our entire personalities expand or crumble according to our depth and will power. We must acquire depth and breadth, for through these our lives are lengthened both in years and action. Taking into consideration these three dimensions of life, then, let us glance into the past for a moment, try to realize the mistakes we have made and then, with zest and determination turn to the future, leaving behind us glorious memories, but with piquant enthusiasm embarking on a new voyage with the advantage of: A new start, a clean chart, And the ability to do our part. Thus the possibilities for success are greatly expanded on the PATH WE ARE TO TRAVEL. Norma Caro Page Fifty-four ' I i .. ,. ' 1 in J ' ' fi' ' iw 'Ji , g. -' ' 'i 4 .mt 1 ra 1 i . CLASS PROPHECY fEditor's Note: This epistle was found among the effects of the late Richard Peckham, who died Friday the thirteenth, 2000 A. D. It was his last wish that this be published for the enlightenment of the class of 1931. The first part is missing, but the remaining pages seem to be a section of a diary kept by the author on a world tour in 1940.1 As my ship left New York harbor, Captain Ray Pratt assured me that we were to have a 'Lbon voyage. I learned also that Ted Holland and Phyllis Crabb were starting their honeymoon on this same ship. Next morning as I was walking along the deck, I tripped over Tom Gill who was scrubbing the deck. Tom, jumping to his feet to apologize, slipped on the wet deck and dropped his sponge into the open mouth of Norma Caro, the novelist, who was sleeping in a deck chair. After an otherwise uneventful voyage we docked at Brest, France. Custom's inspector, Merton Davis, quickly passed me, and I went my way to the Dubois Hotel. There I met Lorraine Doughty, Walter Mills, and Elmer Krieser, who were playing in the Hotel orchestra. Arriving at Paris the next day, I immediately set out to see the sights with Israel Roden as my guide. Although he couldn't sell me a coffin he introduced me to Harold Brink, who was posing as the Hunchfback of Notre Dame. Determined to see some night life, I set out with Elmitt Eastcott, the famous violinist, to take in Marjorie Locke's Night Club. Here we saw Louise Groom, Gezina Berkoff and Margaret Sisson, leads in the chorus. Arnold Osgood, the head waiter, recommended the Zoutendam Theater to us, as Moray Hoard, the Magician, was performing there. However, as we were tired, we hailed a cab to return to the hotel. After a wild ride through the city, we discovered our chauffeur to be none other than Neil Richardson. Edward Field, the commercial aviator, piloted me to Spain the next day. Among the passengers were Henry Lynch and Julia Shefman, who were traveling for a per' fume company. That day in Madrid in company with Grace Anderson and Lena Belle Cherryman, the wellfknown dressmakers, I encountered Toreador Bal Augst throwing the bull in the Arena there. Among the spectators I saw Ted Allen, Alice White, and Francis Woltjer running a cooperative hot dog stand. That evening I watched the famous tango dancers, Bernard Berg and Rosale Foote, dance at the Cafe de Cheseborough. Attracted by loud cries, I found Leo Winick and Louis Walbridge arguing over who was to sell pop corn on that street. Having heard that some of my old pals were in England, I crossed next day. On the ship I ran into Nurses Comey and Hoffman, who pleasantly remarked that it looked a bit rough, but to let them know if I were ill. Setting foot on land once more I hastened to get some ale at the inn of Barney, Baker, and Beach. The next people I saw were Mark Dolan and jack Biggam, barn X . 1, V H-.ri iv g Page Fifty fire .

Tiring of walking, I sought a nearby park, but here I ran into a Communist meeting, led by Jack Donaldson and Orland Tetro. Journeying to Switzerland, I met joe Evans turning a hand organ for a trained bear. Cn close inspection the bear was found to be Monroe Conklin. Visiting a mission for American tourists, I found Marion Bertsch, Thelma Winter, jean Ter Meer, and Dorthea Van Zanen eager to convert me. They had just failed to make any impression on jack Christensen and Hal Blackburn, umbrella salesmen. Desiring to climb the Alps, I hired Rex Keister to take me up, but at that moment he saw Sally Lindhout, so I went with Nick Missad. Coming down, I met Hazel Drew and ,loan Schuitema tending goats. Leaving Switzerland for Germany, I came across Hermie Miller and Tom Bott hunting for cheese next to the Rhine. I next looked up Helen Wisberg, who was running a home for indigent actors. Here I met Margaret Smith, Tom Strahan, Henry Thomas, and jean Edwards. Meeting Bill Cavanaugh, a banana salesman, I persuaded him to attend a circus with me. The speiler, Bill Strycker, urged us to hurry so that we would not miss Erank Solomon, the barefback rider. Don Gezon and Steve Rowlson danced a hornfpipe while Bill Theilman played the calliope. Walking out with lbbie Daane, the owner of the show, we saw Helen Sprik and Bedelia Ellis washing the baboons. The next day I left for Russia on the Hobart and Ingell Railroad. Entering the station in Russia I was arrested by Cllicers Lass and Peteham of the Soviet Police and taken before Magistrate Leonard Krause. Upon explaining that I came to Russia to look up my friends, I was released and given an escort to Mayor Willis' home. His secretary, Clara Weiss, informed me that he was out hunting kopecks with an airfrifle, so I called to Aurelius Douglas fwho was driving a twofhorse Russian taxij to take me to some place to eat. To my surprise, we stopped before the Clson Restaurant, which was run by Dorcas Baars. The waitress, Evadna Whittaker, spilt some soup down my neck while making eyes at Charles Knott. At that moment, Lina Mae Roon, Elizabeth Anderson, Olive Williams, and Julia Anne Ellis entered and besieged me with entreaties to buy some of Poll and Wagner's Beauty Soap which they were selling in order to attend the Hinman School of Spinach Cleaners. As I was leaving, I bumped into Art Langreis who asked me for a quarter as he was broke. It seems that he put all his money into the Russian Razor Blade Company, but Earl Frazee and Ann Timmons ruined him by importing several tons of garden shears. Walking down the main street, I spied an advertisement for Fritt's Fried Erankfurters. Buying one, I chatted qi while with Francis Chandlef 'and Irene Sherd, the chefs. Here I learned that Ben Fuller and Elaine White had recently been married and were at the time selling jam 'in the Sandwich Isles. I' ' D I I Tiring of Europe, I started walkingsto Africa, but was given afride by Clarke Whitman and Sherill Ellsworth. They were traveling to Africato 'sell show shovels to the natives. They were driving a Schriemer Special, a very good car. While lion hunting, I met Marie Wright, Catherine Drushel, and Eilie.Spoelma engaged in weaving hats for the tourist trade. That same day I was lucky to witness a football x . ,,., 3 W l 'il Page Fifty-Nix , rw .Q . . r gi r , 'CW Wuxi t 1 ' ' f I game between two girls' teams. Harry Signor, coach of the winning team praised the stars, Martha Cornelisse and Erma Scruby, highly. Among the excited spectators were John Maas, Jane Hall, and Janet Helmus. King Razzoog of Siam was also present, attended by his ministers, Everett Steward and Claude Slaughter. While in the capital, I attended a bridge party given by Muriel Frey and Virginia Gregory. For our entertainment, Lillian Hunt and Marcia Himes did a pantomime which had been written by Abe Glaser. My next stop was in China. Here I met Helen Smalligan and Katheryne Zuidema who were trying to sell forks to the natives. I also saw Bob Twyning still trying to collect the class dues. Suzanne Marrin, Miriam Carpenter, Lois Koehl, and Doris Jones were the proprietors of a dancing school. Two of their steady customers, Fred Prescott and Jack Evans, gave up after two years and joined the army. As I was purchasing a suit of clothes, I was overcome by the salesmanship of Gayle Spicer and walked out with three dresses under my arm. These I gave to Harriet Hall, a little flower girl on the road to Singapore. While riding about the country I came across Carter Jefferson and Bob Brummeler raising grapes. They explained that they were making raisins so that the Chinese could have rice pudding. Maurice Finkelstein I found trying to persuade Jane O'Brien to become a cosmetic expert. Laura Gillette was running a chop suey stand and was putting the original ones out of business. Arriving in San Francisco a few days later, I ran into Don Gregory and Ed Adams, sponsors of a TransfContinental Airplane Race for women. Before the race was over, Katherine Wiersma, Wilma Vanmanen, and Irene Molhoek had crashedg due, probably, to a desire to powder the nose while seven thousand feet up. The winner of the race, Ruth Kap, received as a prize, a year's subscription to Virginia Ulrich's Magazine for Discontented Wives. The drive to Grand Rapids was a tire' some one, so I stopped for a round of golf at Ruth Knecht's Tom Thumb course. Here I was soundly beaten by Catherine Rooze and Doris Grant. Starting home again, I filled up with gas at a Fox Gas Station. The attendant, Ross De Windt, informed me that if I hurried I could get home in time to witness the triumphant return of Marian Smith and Florence Knapp from Iceland where they had gone to investigate rumored uprisings of the natives. The story later came out that Florence Lindenbloom and Louise Reavis had attempted to build an electric fan company there and the inhabitants, led by Adrian Bostelaar, objected. I also learned that Ray Rapaport's career as a flagfpole sitter ended the day before when he walked in his sleep while sitting above the Knapp jewelry store. Reaching home.at last, I purchased a Grand Rapids ChronicleeRuth Miller, editor-and saw to my surprise that Helen Lattin, Neva Ann Stevens, and Yvonne Taylor had defeated their opponents in the spring election and were now running the city. But the worst blow was yet to come. Georgiana Murphy and Dick Mar' quardt invited me into their Music Emporium and bade me listen to Lucile Wright playing the 'cello. This was too much, I fled the citygnever to return. Richard Peckham H' 'Wir ali-kits 'fi .. . ' 'ip Q V Pay? Fiffy-,-wr wt .

THE BEND IN THE ROAD We have almost reached the pine tree, That tall, fragrant pine That marks the bend in the road, lts bright, green needles searching for the sky Beacon us, hasten us, and call to us To quicken our lagging steps. With flre and enthusiasm burning in our hearts We seek this glowing spot. Around that bend we vision brighter paths Shadowed by unknown trees Which lure us ever forward. We reach this bend at noonday, And there bursts upon our vision A labyrinth of tiny, narrow paths- A maze, a network, glowing in the sun- Tempting advent'rous lure of unknown ways Each calling us to journey there To spend our lives in its alluring shade. We linger at the pine tree Looking longingly upon the road that we have c Recalling the farfdistant dawn That crept into the heavens To light our broad, long road As we moved westward from the sky. And now the bend comes and we bid farewell To the old happy road and the old friends To choose a winding path Through the tangled ways of life. Too soon the sun will cast more somber tints Upon a rougher path of toil. O God, give us a little time To live our youth today.

Among the organizations the social clubs are the most numerous at Ottawa Hills. They have helped the students to be more companionable to each other by means of the various parties and dances which are given. They have striven to uplift the ideals of scholarship to a higher standard by giving awards at the end of each year. Some have been interested in welfare work and have given to the needy. In every manner these clubs have been a great beneit to the school life. The educational clubs, as they might be called, include all of the different types of school work. Science, literature, dramatics, music, home economics, scholarship and debating are the background of these organizations. Each is created and upheld by those interested in that certain Held. The educational clubs endeavor to promote interest in school work and its activities. The most praiseworthy and outstanding of all organizations is the Student Counf cil. It is the center of all the school activities, arranging cake sales, having charge of programs, instructing the other organizations as to their privileges. It has helped much toward welfare work in the past year. The Student Council can be proud of the work that it is doing for the school.

LEGEND STAFF Last year the Legend received a first class honor rating from the National Schof lastic Press Association at Minneapolis. It was the first time that our annual was submitted for this rating of the association. This year Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrimage was chosen for the theme of the Legend, because it was believed that it corresponded so closely to the adventures of the senior class of nineteen hundred thirtyfone, as the class is the first to complete a full six years at Ottawa. Many people think that the Legend is the work of the senior class only. This, however, is not true. During the middle of the first semester all students were given an opportunity to apply for a position on the staff. All the assistant editors are chosen from the junior and sophomore classes, thus giving the lower classmen an opportunity to acquire experience in the editing of a year book.

OTTAWANIAN STAFF This year the Ottawanian Staff undertook a new project, the editing of a news' paper in place of all but a few issues of the usual magazine. This required a great deal more work, and the members of the news department were particularly busy scouting around for various bits of interesting information. As the paper was issued every two weeks and the magazine twice a semester, subscribers received an abunf dant supply of literature pertaining to the activities of the school. The staff meets once every two weeks to receive assignments for the next issue and to discuss new ideas and questions that come up in connection with the Ottawanian. On November twentieth many of the staff members attended an Interscholastic Staff Banquet given at Union High School. Addresses were given by members of the staffs of various schools, and in this way a closer relationship is brought about between the staffs. Our school was also represented with Elizabeth Daane, Gertrude Veneklasen, Frank Solomon, Carl Berg, jane Hall, and Miss Loomis at the National Interscholasf tic Press Association Convention held at Cleveland, December four, live, and six.

Oh, no. Merely the students attempting to obtain books from the school book exchange. Here is represented one of the activities of the Cttawa Hills Student Council. At the begin' ning of each semester, the secondfhand books that have been turned in are sold at a reduced price. This exchange is of great service to the students as it enables them to obtain books that are often as good as new for a minimum sum. During the second semester the council undertook the management of the halls. The service squad was stationed in the front halls on the first and second floors. Members were also stationed at the library entrance for the purpose of pref venting the admittance of any student without a permit.

The members have conducted one or two assemblies given during the school year at which time new members were elected. The society also enjoyed a banquet given for the new members in order that they could become better acquainted with the old members.

DEBATING Laughable attempts to pronounce chicken chop suey as the Chi' nese would, refreshment parties at the Cherie Inn, and lively discussions on life, its various aspects and its problems as well as those of the chain stores are the high lights of the ordinary Cttawa Hills debater's life. The question debated was Resolved: That National Chain Grocery Stores operating in the state of Michigan are detrimental to the people of the state, and that is why they talked about the chain stores. The Ottawa Hills debating team successfully defeated Muskegon Heights High School and Lansing Central, but lost to Allegan High School and Grand Rapids South. There are always four league debates, each team of the state having two affirmative and two negative encounters. According to the system of the Michigan State Debating League one point is given for every judge's vote, and one point is received for winning. If there is an expert judge, his decision is counted as unanif mous and three points are given for his verdict with the extra point for winning. Twelve points out of the possible sixteen must be had to get into the eliminations. Practice debates are scheduled with the other high schools of the city, These inter' city debates have proved to be one of the important factors of debating in this city. The debating squad is represented in Rho Pi Alpha, the honorary society for debaters in Grand Rapids, by the following four members: Norma Caro, Mary Ann Dilley, Ruth Renihan, and Louise Reavis, In each league debate different people were used, because the debaters believe the development of new material is more to be desired than awards.

And it presents such a colorful picture of life in the Wash' ington diplomatic circle of the ..... Yes, I rather imagine. But believe me, Wodehouse's Very Good Jeeves is a humorous, ripping story if there ever was one! These and similar remarks were noticeable as the members of the Parthenon club, a literary organization, were discussing books of modern literature at the begin' ning of the school term. The club obtained copies of five books, and after they had been read by the members, they were presented to the school library. Parthenon's Christmas project was a gift of three dozen children's books for the OutfPatients' Department of Blodgett Hospital.

SIGMA GAMMA Sigma Gamma, organized last September with Mr. Gould as sponsor and taking the place of the dramatics club of last year, has thirty charter A members. Its purpose is to promote leadership and at the same time to FE further interest in public speaking. I One of the Sigma Gamma's main projects of the year was the underf taking of the Legend subscription drive. This was arranged in the form of a contest, the club being divided into two parts to see which side could ! secure the largest number of subscriptions. The drive was successful, as l almost eighty subscriptions were taken by the members alone. Several social gatherings were held during the year, and the technique of flipf ping spoons into glasses was soon accomplished.

It was held at the home of Kathryn Veneklasen and the spread was followed by a toboggan party. Another activity of the club was the purchasing and equipping of an aquarium given to the Out Patient Department of Blodgett Hospital. The appreciation of the patients for the amber colored bowl filled with fascinating sea creatures caused much discussion among the members. Last year the club presented a large telescope to the school as a gift.

This occasion was the annual banquet given for all the Home Economics Clubs in the city. Each year this banquet is held to promote friendship among the various groups who carry on the work of the American Home Economics Association in the city of Grand Rapids. Another activity of the club this year was the picnic held at John Ball Park for its own members. This is also an annual feature, and it was given near the close of school in spring as a reward for the interest the girls had taken in school as well as the club activities. The club has tried to participate in as many school features as it was possible, but always showing a little interest in all of them.

This money is earned by the club during the year at various sales given after school and at the basketball games.

As the judge walked solemnly into the courtroom, a group of excited, widefeyed students immediately stopped murmuring. All were too absorbed in the proceedings that followed even to think of talking. Wh ' ' ' ' ' X' en it was over, though, everyone tried to express his satisfaction at once. This group of students was the Ottawa Hills Commercial Club. The scene changes swiftly from the courtroom to the sewing room at Ottawa. The president rapped for silence and instantly the chatterings above the teaf cups was hnished. Then the president introduced Mrs. Notestine of the Y. W. C. A. who gave a talk concerning business training to the Commercial Club members.

It is one of the aims of this club, the HifY, to have prominent speakers talk on topics of everyday interest with which they are conversant. The purpose of the organization is to create, to maintain, and to extend through' out the school and community high standards of Christian character. In recognition of their ideals the club presents each year a silver trophy to the best allfaround boy in the senior class.

Each girl contributed one garment or food. While doing something very useful, the members said they enjoyed the work immensely. Late in October the club sponsored the Harvest Moon given at Cascade Country Club.

As the Canterbury pilgrims of old trampled on their long journey, so did a mod' ern group on a fall afternoon. The intense cold, the hard,lbarren ground, and the lonely ways were only a few obstacles they encountered, but they went bravely on. These pilgrims of today were the members of the Girls' Athletic Association who took a fivefmile hike in the fall. Besides this feature, each week after school games were played helping the girls to divert their minds from the strenuous activif ties of the day. The association had charge of the Annual Interfclass Meet held in the spring and the banquets at the close of each season of sport.

A CAPELLA CHOIR As the curtains parted revealing a group of boys and girls, very dignified look' ing in their black flowing vestments, the attention of the audience was at once at' tracted. Appearing on the stage that night was the A Capella Choir, which sang two songs for the program at Cpen House Night, Wednesday, February 25, as their first public appearance this year. The two songs, Deep River by Burleigh and Cherubim Song by Bortniansky, received much applause from the parents, teachers, and friends who attended the program. With an interest in achievement, the choir began its third year at the opening of school in September, and it earnestly endeavored to make this year even more successful than last year. Singing entirely without an accompaniment, it has received much recognition whenever it has appeared. The members are chosen from the glee clubs and voice classes, after having satisfactorily passed the voice tests which are required by Mr. Showers, the director of the choir. There was a change in the meeting arrangement of the organization, for before the choir has met the beginning of the fifth hour and it now meets in the morning before school at seven fortyffive, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cne and onefhalf credits are given for the semester. In addition to the earnest desire of the members to succeed, they took a great interest in all of their public appearances. Some of these were at the evening services at the different churches, especially at All Souls and the First Methodist Churches.

BOYS' GLEE CLUB Participating with the Girls' Glee Club, the Boys' Glee Club appeared in the GilbertfSullivan opera, PinafOre,,' which was given before Christ 2,5 mas. For Weeks before and after, it much was commented on as it was 'awe' one of the most important features given by the music department during the past year and considered one of the most successful. Any boy in the senior high who has passed the voice test given by Mr Showers is eligible for membership, and officers are chosen at the beginning of the year in September. Other performances of the club this year were at the annual spring concert and at a program given at the Clark Memorial Home. It also appeared at a number of school assemblies and P. T. A. Meetings.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB A hum of excited, nervous voices was heard just before the Girls' Glee Glub's numbers were announced on the program at the spring tk concert, but as soon as the girls had lined up on the stage, their poise and selffconfidence returned. After singing a few songs, each one heaved a sigh of relief thus ending this part of the program. Appearing also that night was the Boys' Glee Club and the Senior Grchestra. The club appeared in the opera, Pinafore, and in several assemblies which were held at school. Girls who are interested and who have passed a voice test which is required by Mr. Showers are enabled to become members of the organization. The Girls' Glee Club, like the Boys' Club, meets three times a week during school hours.

JUNICR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Slowly the auditorium was filled with eager students. Back stage there reigned an atmosphere of breathless anticipation, and questions such as Where do I stand? , When do we move forward? and, i'Do you have the music? filled the air. The junior Girls' Glee Club was sponsoring the Christmas assembly given December twentyfthree. The orchestra gave a selection of Christmas music by Handel. Then followed many numbers given by the Glee Club including a solo selection of Luther's Cradle Hymn. The audience also participated in the singing of well' known carols. The Junior Girls' Glee Club has been practicing all through the year. The presentation of this assembly was one of their major projects. Miss Marcia Hudson coaches the girls and a great deal of work is covered by the organization during the school year. The members of the club are chosen from the ninthfgrade girls who have received an average of A or B in their class music work. The purpose of the club is to stimulate the girls' interests in music and train them in group singing. This is a great help to Mr. Showers, for when he wishes to pick members for the Girls' Glee Club and the A Capella Choir he wants the most capable girls who know how to sing in a group. Included in the picture above are the clubs for both the first and second semesters.

In city competition Gttawa teams tied for first place in basketball, won second in football, tennis, and golf, and placed fourth in track. The second teams won Hrst place in football and tied for Hrst in basketball. This year was the Hrst an Cttawa football team achieved a place in the city. The season's eligibility record was perfect. Of the first squad 24 per cent were on the Honor Roll or Honorable Mention. Cn the AllfCity teams, four men received places. The basketball team came through with a tie for city championship, under the experienced coaching of Mr. Ludwick. Three team members were placed on the All' City team. In track, Ottawa won all its dual meets and placed fourth in the city. Two stars of the team broke city records. Next fall, Ottawa will add crossfcountry running to its list of sports. Girls' Athletics has had a well filled year. The girls have taken part in many activities, including hockey, soccer, basketball, volleyball, indoor baseball, swimming, and tennis. These games are played both in classes and after school between grades. The girls may win numerals, major letters, and AllfCity honor pins. This is done by a system of points in their physical education work. They must begin in the ninth grade earning points. The interfclass meet, the most important girls' athletic affair, this year was won by the senior class. Edna Fritts won the tennis tournament in the spring of 1930.

On the first were Ed Kalawart, who accounted for many of our long runs, and John Van Norman, who played all season with an injured shoulder, and on the second were Toey Conklin and Henry Thomas. This was the second year in which Johnnie Van Norman was thus honored. Another outstandf ing player was Captain Herbert Baker, the stalwart center.

SECOND TEAM FOQTBALL For the second consecutive year the second team came through with the city championship. It won six, tied one, and lost only two games which did not count. Through the experienced tutef lage of Mr. Koepnick the team def veloped a strong defense and a fast, baffling offense. Every member of the team proved to be a capable player. Cn the line, Dick Scott, jack Robles, Fred Elliott, Otto Wierenga, and Jay Dutmers were very important powers both on offense and on defense. In the backfield, Bob Ella' wanger, Fred Schefman, and Ben Engel could always be depended upon to gain ground for the team. Ben Engel, the team's quarterback, scored the most points, 52 in all. Dick Scott and Ben Engel played in every quarter of every game. As in other years, a new capf tain was appointed for each game, thus sharing this honor. The team was marked by a persistent lighting spirit. P I'ugv One llunrlrwrl Nine 1 1' if 1 1 I 1 1. Q A, -1. 1 1 if-sf , 1 rg , . 32' -. , ' 1 a of 2 Y il li f i , ' i , Q ' ,N Q. 13213: H ,.

In the regional tournament Ottawa won its first game from Creston and lost the second to Central. People believed Ottawa to be a team of long shooting stars only, but the truth was Ottawa made as many or more under the basket shots as it did longs. It worked out, under the coaching of Mr. Ludf wick, a defense that was hard to penef trate. This year's team had three men placed on the AllfCity Team and the other two on the honorable mention. Captain Tom Schriemer, who received one AllfCity berth, played a stellar game all year at guard. He developed ix Page One Hundred Eleven ' A .4:1,,r .-Mxus i x Y N if Rx N K c X Nu Page One llundred Twelve My Aki lm splendid shooting ability from midcourt and was one of the best guards in the state. The other AllfCity guard was Bob Shelling. At the lirst of the season it seemed impossible for him to miss a shot from anywhere. He developed an over- head shot that was extremely difficult to block. He was high scorer with 84 points. The other AllfCity man was Tom Bott, who played forward. He was able to make side court shots about eight out of ten times. He worked hard all sea' son and was a big factor in 0ttawa's success. Harold Brink played the other forward most of the season, although part of the time he played guard. He played skillfully and def serves much credit. He graduates this year as do Schriemer, Shelling, and Bott. The center was Don Woodstra. He used his height to advantage and was especially adept at tipf ping in shots that were missed. Another fellow who def serves mention is Don Green who was an unerring shot and the hero of the second Central game. Those receiving major letters were Captain Tom Schriemer, Tom Bott, Bob Shelling, Harold Brink, Don Woodstra, and Don Green. , .4 fu BASKETBALL-fSecond Team D Back Row: Don Murray, Robert Tumy, Mr. Palmer, Kenneth Fritts, Jack Robles.

SECOND TEAM BASKETBALL After diligent coaching by Lowell Palmer, the second team developed an offense and defense that was good enough to earn it a share in the city championship along with South. The seconds lost only two games during the season, to South and Creston. Both defeats were requited when South and Creston were played again. Teamwork was the reason for the success, and not any one star, although it was hard to replace such a center as Sprik. He added hard work and practice to his natural ability and developed an uncanny accuracy on shots from all over the floor. He was high scorer with 94 points. Palmer and Shelling helped Sprik with the scoring, Palmer having 64 points and Shelling 61. They both played well all season and deserve a lot of credit for the team's good showing. Dutmers, a guard, also stood out. This same team last year won the Junior High City Championship. dvi!! 'vll CTU Ill I YI! dug Page One Hzlnflrul Thirteen - K x Vx TENNIS The tennis team, coached by Mr. Gregory, won second place in intrafcity com' petition for 1930. The team was captained by Stanley Weitz. Something new was introduced last spring when the team played against teams from other cities. The team played Howe Military Academy and Lansing High. It lost to the former and decisively defeated the latter. Weitz was the outstanding individual performer of the team. He won the city indoor singles championship for the second successive year and the city interschof lastic championship. He was also runnerfup in the state regional tournament at Ypsilanti, losing out in the finals. The order in which the team played follows: Q11 Stan Weitz, Q21 Bill Walker, Q31 Nathan Waring, Q41 Joe Renihan, Q51 Tom Bott, Q61 Pat Lusk, Q71 Jack Schelf ling, Abe Glaser. GOLF The Ottawa Hills Golf Team of 1930 had a successful season. The team placed second in the city standings, was runnerfup for honors in the regional tournament at Blythefield Country Glub, and also participated in the state tournament at Ann Arbor, placing fifth. The team was captained by Herman Miller and managed by Mr. Kremble. Miller was the outstanding player of the team. He won the low medal honors in the regional tournament. Benny Bartnick of Union, beat Miller in the city comf petition, but Hermie came back and defeated Bartnick decisively in the low medal play in the regional tournament. Brink was runnerfup in the medal play. Harold Brink did not lose a match during the entire season. Harold Brink will captain the 1931 team. Three letter men return in 1931: Brink, Davidson, and Kress. The order in which the men played was: Q11 Herman Miller, Q21 Harold Brink, Tom Strahan, Q41 Howard David' son, Q51 Dick Kress. GYMNASIUM CLASSES Gymnasium classes offer to all the boys many types of recreation. In the fall and spring, indoor, speedball, tennis, and horseshoes are played. In the winter, basketball is the main sport, with boxing, wrestling, and climbing ropes as side lines. Basketball teams and indoor teams are chosen in the classes, and the teams have schedules in which they play each other at every gymnasium period. All boys are required to take gymnasium. It teaches them to cofoperate with other boys, and it develops both their skill and their bodies. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL In January, 1931, a great number of boys who wanted to play basketball outf side of gymnasium classes and were not on the first or second squads formed an intramural league, under the direction of Mr. Palmer. The league was divided into two groups-junior high and senior high. Eight teams were composed of senior high boys. Each team played seven games, and then the three teams which tied for first place played the ties off. The All Stars won the championship. Members of this team were Fred Prescott, Art Engel, Ben Engel, Roger Peteham, Ed Kalawart, and Aurelius Douglas. The junior high had four teams in the league. The Greens were champions, winning five games and losing one. The Greens were Harold Green, Jim Bradshaw, Robert Palmer, William Winters, jack Furtney, Harold Davidf son, Phil Anderson, and Robert Notestine. laqe Une Ilzmflrwl l 0lll'ff'6'T1 100 220 220 440 880 Mil TRACK RECORDS yd.

TRACK Two longfstanding city records were broken by members of the Ottawa track team in 1930. The pole vault record was broken by Orland Tetro, who vaulted 11' 6M5 . The high jump record was broken by Walker Smith, who jumped 'S' IOMN. Several school records were likewise broken during the season. These were in the 880fyard relay, the 120fyard high hurdles, the shot put, the discus, and the broad jump. Captain Walker Smith was the star highfjumper of the city. He won every dual meet, tied for third at the 1930 Ann Arbor outdoor meet, won first in the city, and tied for third at the state meet. Orland Tetro was the other outstanding star of the team. He won every dual meet, placed second in the Ann Arbor outdoor meet, won the city meet, and tied for second in the state meet. The team won all its dual meets, placed fourth in the city, and tied for eighth in the Ann Arbor outdoor meet. The captain for 1931 is Arthur Hobart. The inter' session room meet was won by Room 209, which received as a reward a box of apples. A great deal of credit for the success of the team goes to Coach Lowell Palmer, because of his diligent coaching and training of every member of the squad, and to Mr. Koepnick, the assistant coach. Those receiving major letters were Walker Smith, Orland Tetro, Walter Watson, Balfour Augst, Bob Brummeler, Herb Baker, Ed Kalawart, Ben Cueny, Eugene Ackerman, Arthur Hobart, Bob Wells, Edward Field, Ralph Guthat, Henry Thomas, and Moray Hoard.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL The senior high school girls turned out in such large numbers at the first basketf ball practices last fall that two nights a week were given to basketball. Miss Sheehan coached the sophomores on Tuesdays, and Miss Kreuter the juniors and seniors on Thursdays. The sophomores played a schedule of games between their six teams, with Doris StObler's team winning the sophomore championship, A final schedule of games was then played between the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The seniors and sophomores each won three games. A closely matched game was then played to decide the championship and the seniors defeated the sophomores IUNIGR HIGH ATHLETICS Every Monday night after school the junior high girls have played a series of games which included soccer, kickfball, volleyball, hitfpin baseball, and indoor base' ball. The girls have a point system similar to that of the senior high school. Consef quently in order to win their awards, they must participate in these games and gain points in leadership. This year the eighth and ninth graders were allowed to join the beginners' class in swimming. The turnfout for these sports was large and there was a keen sportsmanlike spirit shown in every game. by a score of 1Of6. Faye One Ifumlrpd S6I'E'7lflfl71l , A .

With Miss Kreuter as coach, about twentyfhve or thirty girls were taught the game. Jean Edwards was chosen business manager, Kathryn Veneklasen senior captain, and Mariquita Wen' dell junior captain. GIRLS' ATHLETIC AWARDS A large group of girls worked through the year for athletic awards. The successful sophomores won their class numerals, the juniors, their letters, and the seniors their Allfcity Honor Pins. In this last group there were ten girlsg the largest group ever receiving this highest athletic honor. These girls were Grace Anderson, Norma Caro, Lena Belle Cherryman, Jean Edwards, Lucille Fox, Mar' jorie Locke, Erma Scruby, Kathryn Veneklasen, Alice White, and Virginia York. TENNIS The girls' tennis tournaments, sponsored by the Lewa Club, were highly sucf cessful this year. There were two distinct tournaments, one for junior and one for senior high girls. The winners of the tournaments are presented with individual silver loving cups. Their names are added to the large tennis cup in the trophy case. Last year the senior tournament was won by Edna Eritts, a new member of our school coming from New jersey, and the junior winner was Margaret Veenboer. Twenty girls, encouraged by their success last year, again entered this year. Page One Hundred Eighteen S I 2 . X y ,.

SWIMMING Unly the girls who were not able to swim or dive were eligible for the swim' ming class this year. Consequently, girls who really wished to learn how to swim were taught the standard strokes and dives under the supervision of Miss Sheehan. In addition to the lessons, part of the class period was spent on relay races and relay dives. According to all reports, the class was successful in producing a great many fine swimmers. GIRLS' ATHLETIC MEET . The fifth annual Interfclass Girls' Athletic meet was presented on March 28, 1931. There were two divisions of competition in the meet. The seventh, eighth, and ninth grades competed for the Junior High School Cup and the sophomores, juniors, and seniors for the Senior High School Cup. Each class took part in the rhythm work and there were various track events such as hurtle relay, stunt relay, and competitive hopfstepfjump. The climax in the meet was the volleyball game between the seniors and the sophomores. This game was won by the seniors, giving them the deciding points in winning the meet. Likewise hitfpin baseball, played by the Junior High girls, proved thrilling. The ninth grade won the meet. ,. ia .il Qi.. ,. 5 . 4 WF gf. 4 e ...Q refines Y A - c - Page One Hundred Nineteen Page One Hzuzzlred Twenty To live in delight was ever his custom For he was Epicurus' own son. 1 N X X xXx xx XF Q B ag ff - , 2.- X ff :TQ ,ffl-.X .- 1 ' -ifk , -' jzf , , ,, ',1l ' 5x Y - J :' 'Ilil ,QA I I 1, GU I 127-2-N f ,- ,f 1, 7 -:X fj v X -- 5 N 13341712 E A ur, S555 f ggi? 55 52:-AQ' fig w f f 4 , ' 4'-f 1 ' lx - f 27 f J Kbj 'X' f fxfff 1 xzr' J - , N1 ' n f 5 F 'X5' fzfi .f'v1,.

N , JK, SOCIAL ACTIVITIES Dances, sports, teas, house parties, and informal gatherings constitute as much a part of the average studentls life as does his academic work. The different organ' izations of the school carry out many and varied programs of social activity. Each club is allowed at the most one spread a month and judging from the regularity of these gatherings one can see how popular they are. Formerly a highfschool education consisted only of scholastic work and tedious study, but now the social affairs are a part of the schedule of every pupil. He not only develops the ability to study and learns the rudiments of knowledge, but at the same time acquires the poise and social graces necessary to an all around boy or girl. After all, these social mannerisms are an important part of our lives and deserve as important a place in education as does the intellectual side. A spirit of fellowship and companionship is created hy these parties where everyone enjoys a friendly gathering either under the school roof or at a private club. The girls and boys are encouraged to have a good time without stepping out of the hounds of supervision. Teachers and pupils meet on an equal plane to encourage personal friendships between them. In the snaps section the thrill of housefparties, sports, companionship, and like interests is indicated on the enthusiastic countenances of the participants. They show only a few of the many good times enjoyed by Qttawa students. PUKQI' One' Hundred T11-nity-fluff '54 1 I EQ. ', V i, E N , V, FI, 5 . I V Q xi' .

Each year a little more is attempted in the way of stage mechanics and elaborate production, and this 1931 presentation, the result of the untiring efforts of the members of the senior class, lived up to every' one's expectation. Mrs. Raff, the sympathetic, kind, and understanding German mother, an inspiraf tion to any son, was played by Margaret Smith, The part of the stern, brusquef bearded Herr Raff, who wished his son to become a successful engineer instead of a poor struggling musician, was taken by Leo Winick. Elmitt Eastcott, as young Karl Raff, ran away from home in order to get away from his father, who stood between him and his goal, to be a famous musician. Karl's adoption into the wealthy Rathburn family, where he was brought up with charming young Billy Rathburn, played by Helen Wisberg, and with his own father as a teacher, was a forward step toward his life's ambition. The triumph of his first recital and Herr and Mother Raif's recognition of their son, whom they believed to have been killed by a train, was the climax of the play. More than a few eyes were wet as the cuiitain fell on Karl playing his familiar childhood lullaby on his beloved violin. Hay' g started toward his goal, led on by the inspiration of his little mother, Karl co, at last enjoy his hardfearned success. f N' i 1 J 1, law One Ifznzrlrfffl TIl'l'Ilf-ll-f0llI' RJ J 'S 5 It it .1 ' L Zfffiififf f ' ' YW!! 0 7Wf47w P T 2-42, . ,, . . V , 4 HIS MAIESTYS SHIP, PINAFORE No never, hardly ever recalls to mind the comic opera, Pinafore, presented by the boys' and girls' glee clubs on two successive evenings. The different casts used offered a medium for the varied talents of its members. Cn the evening of December seventeen the leads were played by Abe Glaser, the Right Honorable Sir Joseph Porter, Monroe Conklin, Captain Corcoran, Henry Thomas, Ralph Rackstrawg Mildred Stroup, Josephine, Georgiana Murphy, little Buttercup, and Mary Knappen, Cousin Hebeg while the following night Irene Francis was Josephine, Evelyn Thompson, little Buttercup, and Hazel Drew, Cousin Hebe. The stalwart captain of the good ship, Pinafore, appeared masterful and im- pressive in his bearing. His beautiful daughter was courted by the Right Honorable Sir joseph Porter, but she had lost her heart to a common sailor. When this lowly mate proved to be of high rank, nothing was lacking to a happy union. The Right Honorable Sir joseph Porter will be remembered as that proud and haughty old gentleman whose dignity couldn't be upheld by his sea legs. The ugly, leering countenance of Dick Deadeye, one of the sailors on the ship, proved to be quite a sensation for the audience. ,Much applause was bestowed on dear little Buttercup's cheerful song. 1 It will be a long time before Sir'j'oseph's cousins and his sisters, and his sisters and his cousins whom he reckons by the dozens, and his aunts will be forgotten. Page One I1lllldl'6fI Twfllfy fl I7 THE JUNIORSENIOR PRCM The gymnasium, the scene of many Cttawa Hills basketball victories, was the setting of the JuniorfSenior Promenade on February twentyfone, nineteen hundred and thirtyfone. This dance has always been a prominent event on the social calenf dar, and this year was no exception. The floor was crowded with the peppy young boys and girls of the junior and senior classes. The walls of the gymnasium were harmoniously decorated with colored streamers, using the colors of both classes, purple and pink for the junior class, and cameo and lavender for the senior class, The decorations also consisted of a large false ceiling which lent an air of informality to the room, The grand march of the evening was led by Jack Donaldson, the senior presif dent, with Elizabeth Daaneg followed by John Beyers, the junior president, escort' ing Gail Everest. Another feature of the evening was the theme song of The Goal, Inspiration, sung by Henry Thomas. Everyone enjoyed the socializing dances, and the girls found the rose favors delightful. The dance music was furnished by Glasse's Crchestra whose snappy selections added to the attractiveness of the party, Over one hundred couples at' tended the prom and were chaperoned by Miss Sheehan, Mr. and Mrs. Koepnick, Mr. and Mrs. Buboltz, and Mr. Cook. Betty Gibson and john Van Norman were cofchairmen of the dance and were responsible for the success of the affair. Page Une Ilunflrwl TIl'f'lIf.Il-5'f.l' X ,Y l ALL GIRLS' BANQUET The Third Annual All Girls' Banquet, under the auspices of the N,T.C. Club, was held March fourth in the school cafeteria. Two hundred and twentyfeight girls were present. The tables were decorated in orchid, yellow, and green, the colors being carried out in lovely spring flowers and candles. After having been served a delicious dinner, favorite tunes were sung accompanied by Georgiana Murphy. Mrs. MacNaughton spun for the girls an oriental tale with a deep meaning concealed in it. She said that to reach the place of one's heart's desire entailed a great deal of work and hardship, but in the end when on the pinnacle one would find it worth the sacrifice. The Nuncs decided the banquet would be much more peppy and less formal if each half grade, under the direction of a teacher, would put on a stunt. A prize would be awarded the group presenting the most clever and original stunt. The 9f2's presented the Mock Wedding, with jean Green as the minister and Gloria Meeth, the matron of honor, which brought gales of laughter from everyone. This stunt tied with The Highwayman for first place. The Highwayman was read by Mary Ann Dilly and cleverly acted out by other 1Of2's. The other stunts were: The Sleepy Hollow Dance, Brutus and Portia of Today, A Utopian High School, The Bachelor's Night Out, Keyboard Harmonies, and The Ideal Girl. The judges. Miss Grego, Miss Vander Velde, and Miss Kreuter, found difficulty in deciding which was best. As a prize every girl in the 9f2 and 1Of2 grades received a rose.

My purpose is to acquaint everyone with my observations of the activities I have attended during the year. And so here in my diary I record my numerous and pleasant remembrances. Sept. 2. On this gloomy day the tolling of the knell, or shall I say bell, sum' mons me back once more to the old familiar schoolroom. Here everything is in readiness to start out the new year with a bang. Oct. 4 Today I chanced to walk down the hall past the bulletin board on which I saw in bright letters the notice, Pigskin Skid, Presented by Lewa, Masonic Athletic House. Arrayed in my best I reached the Masonic Athletic House just in time for the kick off. The ballroom was appropriately decorated and the party was a great success. Oct. 11. My taste for dances not yet being satisfied, I went to the Kapi L'Harvest Moon. I was especially anxious to go as the Cascade County Club is an old favorite of mine. I had a wonderful time and the round countenance of the man in the moon smiled on us as we kept time to the music of Jack Lawrence's orchestra. Oct. 16. My highest aspirations were fulfilled when I was asked to become a member of the National Honor Society. Addresses to stimulate interest in the organization were given by the members. A banner was presented to Session Room 212 for the highest scholastic standing. Nov. 7. Feeling especially sociable today the announcement on the blackboard of the S.T.E.C.'s after school dance impressed me favorably so I hied myself to the gymnasium where Walter Mill's orchestra reigned supreme. This evening I encountered the mothers and fathers of all my school mates grouped around the tables at the Annual Indian Powwow. Having eaten our fill of the potluck dinner in the cafeteria, we proceeded to work it off by singing, L'Here's to you, dear high school, and by dancing in the gymnasium. Nov. 11. An invitation to attend the Allfhigh Council dinner was extended by Ottawa to the other student councils. Not to be outfdone by each other the schools appeared in full force to give and take suggestions for improving high school councils. The most important feature of this gathering was the discussion of the problem, Circulation of the School Annual. Nov. 14. At last the dads receive a break. The W.A.T.C.H.5s annual Dad' daughter Banquet voiced the appreciation of Ottawa's dutiful daughters with Hazel Drew as toastmistress. When justice had been done to the Cherrie Inn's tasty food, we were regaled by speeches of various members of the club. Nov. 20. Hoping to better my journalistic style I eagerly betook myself to the Interfhigh Staff Banquet at Union. I was most pleased to hear Special Fea- tures upheld in our own editor's talk. I was also entertained by Mrs. Minnie Powers of the Herald with This and That in Newspaper Training and departed for home with the strains of I hear you calling me still ringing in my ears. Dec. 2. With the rest of my hockey and soccer team mates I made merry at a banquet of the Girls' Athletic Association, which was the culmination of the season's triumphs. The theme of the evening was- Honor the game thou playest For he who playeth the game straight and hard Wins even when he loses. 111111 Our' Ilunrlrwrl Tllirly Dec. 4. Cttawa's tragedy lovers were all present at the dramatic performance of Julius Caesar in the auditorium. Some of our ninth graders took part in the mob scene. Dec. 5. My charitable instincts were aroused by the Cordelier's Charity Ball held at the Regent Roof Garden. The fact that my contribution formed a part of the S160 which they gave to the Santa Claus Girls is a source of pride to me. We thirteen players from Cttawa in the Interfhigh Orchestra joined the other members at a concert given by the Grand Rapids Symphony Crchestra at Powers' Theatre. Afterward we had a get acquainted gathering at the Cherrie Inn. Dec. 6. All the enthusiasts over football during the past season turned out at the annual banquet at East Congregational Church. Moray Hoard, the toastmaster, introduced the speakers of the evening. Tokens of appreciation were presented to Mr. Palmer, Mr. Koepnick, and Mr. Richardson by their respective teams. Dec. 4, 5, 6. These hectic days were spent in seeing, hearing, and attending everything we could possibly squeeze into them. The National Scholastic Press Association at Cleveland occupied three days of our time, but we were amply repaid by the ideas reaped there. Dec. 19. The members of the Home Economics Club had a Christmas banquet in the cafeteria. Little trees, and green candles trimmed with red lent a festive air to this sumptuous dinner. All the guests had an enjoyable time. Dec. 26. This was one of the very few occasions of the year in which an opf portunity was given to display my formal attire. The S.T.E.C.'s annual formal ball at the Women's City Club was a fitting outlet for our holiday spirits. Dec. 27. This morning I awoke with a feeling that something was impend' ing. That something was the N.T.C. Alumnae Luncheon at the Women's City Club. Twentyfeight Nuncs and former Nuncs gathered there to talk over old times. Dec. 29. Still wishing to see more of Cttawa's graduates I turned my foot' steps toward Marjorie Locke's where the Kapis held their Christmas Alumnae Spread. After eating, letters from those who couldn't attend were read, and gifts were exchanged. Dec. 31. The watch party of the MufSi on New Year's Eve welcomed 1931 with much revelry and rejoicing, and the guests departed early-in the morning. Jan. 2. Today was crisp and cold, which together with the right amount of snow put me in just the mood for the Lewa Luncheon and Toboggan Party. After eating heartily at Virginia York's we journeyed to Ravenswood, where the saying that It is easier to go down than up was soon proved. A Bug Banquet at the home of Kathryn Veneklasen was the Chemphybios celebration during the vacation. After a delicious spread we tobogganed at Ravensf wood. Jan. 9. The culmination of the CentralfCttawa game was the I-IifY Dribble in the gymnasium following the game. Cur own musicians, Walter Mills and his orchestra, furnished the peppy music for our terpsichoreans. jan. 15. Lest we forget those seniors who left us in February, a reception was given by Mr. NacNaughton and the remaining members of the senior class. The guests were greeted by the president and the vicefpresident with a cordial hand' shake. Having partaken of the punch and icefcream, and having admired the carnaf tions and roses on the tables, we departed. In the little dining room on the third floor a representative of each organization of the school was entertained at tea in order to formulate plans for the entertain' ment of the guests at the Annual AllfGirls' Banquet, an event of March. l'ayff Um' llrfntlrwl Tlzirfy u jan. 21. Our bookworms from the Parthenon Club laid aside their literary work long enough to enjoy a spread at the home of Marion Bertsch. My profile in silhouette provided amusement for the other members who regarded their own features in caricature with consternation. After the spread a part of the guests at' tended the game while the others answered the call of the great outfoffdoors with the toboggan. Jan. 23. And now since my diary is based on the school year, the closing of the semester ends the irst half of my writings, Those seniors who are leaving us bid their alma mater goodbye with reluctance, but time can never erase from their memories their last days at Ottawa. Jan. 31. This evening found me merrily dancing at the Lewa Annual Lollipop Hop in the school gymnasium. The decorations, pastel streamers and gaily colored balloons, and other arrangements were under the direction of Lena Belle Cherryf man. My mouth still waters at the remembrance of those beribboned lollipops. Feb. 7. In the gleam of the spotlight I was able to discern my cronies gaily tripping to the music of Walter Mill's orchestra in the gymnasium after the South' Ottawa game. In response to my inquiries I learned that it was the HifY Toss Up with Arnold Osgood as general chairman. Feb. 9. By special invitation the members of the Chemphybio Club attended the open house night of the Biology Club of Junior College. We strolled through the laboratory rooms on display and gazed at all their interesting and unusual specif mens, and afterward were served with light refreshments. Feb. 14. All our Kapi friends and their mothers were entertained at a Valentine tea by Mrs. C. Harley Bertsch and Marion Bertsch. The special features of the afternoon were a solo by Ruth Bertschg a musical trio with Virginia Wyatt at the piano, Marion Solomon the violin, and ,lean McFarland the harp, a clog dance by june Dolan and Mary Ann Dilleyg and another solo by Betty Gibson. This was one of the few Kapi gatherings where both mothers and daughters attended. Feb. 21. All the card Hends from Ottawa Hills gathered at various homes for a few hands of bridge. Catherine McInerny, Elise Mayer, jane Hall, Mary Claire Holland, and Katherine Shields opened their homes for the S.T.E.C. annual benefit bridge. After the prizes were awarded, refreshments were served. Feb. 25. Our loyal Ottawa parents arrived in full force at the Student Council's Open House. Having consumed their dinner in the cafeteria, they inter' viewed all the teachers to see how Johnny was getting along and then attended a program by several of Ottawa's talented students in the auditorium. Feb. 28. Eight senior girls spent this week end at Kalamazoo visiting the campus and dormitories of Kalamazoo College. They were entertained at tea by President and Mrs. Hoben. In the evening they attended a performance of the Civic players and afterward a dance and a spread. The girls reached home Sunday afternoon, tired but happy. Mar. 2. The Sigma Gammas were entertained, or rather entertained each other, by impromptu speeches at a spread in the cafeteria. The new members, as guests, were subjected to satisfying their appetites by means of kitchen spoons. Ask any member what they did and hear his reminiscent chuckle. Mar. 7. Katherine Zimmer, Marie Schneider, Jean McFarland, Marcia Himes, Marion and Margaret Solomon, Lucille Donahue, and Gail Winchell were hostesses at a Kapi Bridge in their respective homes. The head prizes were corsages of lavender sweet peas and yellow roses, the booby prizes were green candy snakes. Continued on Page 143 Inq: Om' llundrzfd Thirty-fu-0 Wheteb Green?

These boys lunch together every noon over in a corner of the cafeteria. The girls at the top were snapped while down at Kalamazoo exploring the college campus. Another group often seen together are the boys taken in hack of Dick Peckham's house. u1l.-1..

Ottawa's team can always furnish plenty of excite- ment, and not a moment's ease until the final gun is shot. Kress, Geistert, Kalawart, and Woodstra are splendid players. Our captain, the past season, was Herb Baker and this coming season it's to be Johnnie Van Norman. 1. up pg -wr 'Qual L, ,fnr'i ,Q Y 0 'Lt if 1 'fl 1 X?-772 4 .

A mock trial and auto races were sensations of the evening. Imagine seeing our dignified scholars sprawling on their knees on the floor, cheering on their entrees in the race. Mar. 18. The Girls' Athletic Association sponsored the Girls' Meet in the gymnasium tonight. The senior captain was Kathryn Veneklaseng junior, Hazel Schillingg sophomore, Marion Solomon, freshman, Bertha Taylor, eighth grade, jane Phillips, seventh grade, Mary Jane Bennett. Each class put on a peppy dance, followed by a track event and an exciting volleyball game. The seniors were the proud victors of the senior high school, and the ninth grade of the junior high school. Mar. 18. We deserted our own Cttawa cafeteria to be present at the banquet given for all the Home Economics Clubs in the city by the Home Economics Club of Central High School. The tables looked very nice, and after dinner we were entertained by stunts put on by each school. Mar. 26. The Parthenon Club enjoyed a spread during spring vacation at the home of Marcia Himes. Due to the enthusiasm created by a review of the play by Miss Loomis, some of the members attended the performance of The First Mrs. Fraser at the Powers Theatre. Apr. 4. The Cordeliers celebrated the Easterftide with a Bunny Hop at the Masonic Athletic House. Butterfield's Crchestra furnished the music for this lively party, and the decorations and favors were rabbits. Those lucky individuals who drew the winning numbers received a real white Easter bunny in the raffle. Apr. 11. Hearts were trump at the bridgeftea given by members of the MufSi Club at several MufSi homes. Because of her recent nuptials, Miss Dejong, the sponsor, left school in March and Miss Caldwell has taken her place as sponsor of this organization. A May 9. Another of our early spring affairs was a dance given by the mem' bers of the S.T.E.C. Club. The attractively decorated ballroom of the Cascade Country Club formed a pleasing background for the multifcolored spring frocks. May 9. In order to placate the mothers whom they ignored at the Dad' daughter Banquet in November, the members of the W.A.T.C.H. Club decided to give a Motherfdaughter Banquft in honor of their Mothers and Mothers' Day. The event took place at the Westf'rSide Ladies' Literary Club. May 15. Cur-ousinessflike Commercial Club abandoned the click of the typewriter keys for the more tuneful clatter of knives and forks at their Annual Spring Banquet in the cafeteria. The evening's entertainment consisted of speeches from a few of Grand Rapids' prominent citizens. May 28. If we happened to peek into the cafeteria tonight, we might see the smiles of the members of the National Honor Society as they dined in state at their annual banquet celebrating the final selection of new members. June 17. Graduation! Has not everyone dreamed of this momentous occaf sion for six years? Though we leave behind us forever our highfschool days, the spirit of Ottawa will always remain with us. l'rryw Om' llnmlrwl Forty-fl: Gf whom buyers might take example For to be wise in buying of victuals.

In the Prophylactic forest, On the shores of Coca Cola, Dwelt the Moxies in their wigwams- Old Sapolio, the chieftain, Pebecco, the grizzled prophet, And the warriors, young and eager. In the lodge of the old chieftain, With Uneeda, more than mother, And Victrola, old and feeble, Lived the warmest of the maidens, Musterole, Sapolio's daughter- Musterole, the Sunkist Chiclet. All the young braves sought her favor, Left their trophies at her wigwam, Brought her Thermos skins for raiment, Brought her Tarvia for ointment: And sweet Musterole smiled on them- Smiled on Vaseline and Pointex, Smiled on Danderine and Jello, Smiled on Listerine and Valspar- Smiled and left them unrequited, For her love she gave to no one- Frigidaire alone she gave them. Then from Multibestos mountains From the tribe of the Texacos, Came the young chief, Instant Postum, Mightiest hunter in the forest, All superb in strength and beautyg It was he who trapped the Kodak, He, who shot the great SearsfRoebuckp Eversharp his trusty hatchetl Every Arrow had a Hotpoint. On him gazed the Moxie maidens- Nujol poured her glowing glances, Bold Carbona sought to win him, Zonite brought him luscious Pyrene,- But for Musterole yearned Postum.

To his bosom quick he drew her, Held her to his manly bosom- Whispered words with love aburningg Told her how he'd caught the Sealpax, Told her how he'd slain Bull Durham, Told her how held trapped Ampico- Boasted of his father's tepee With its sides of lvlentholatum, And its rugs of soft Sacony. To him Musterole, aquiver, Listened, and her heart gave answer. All the warmth of love she gave him, Gave her Rubberset affection, Gave her heart to Instant Postum- Thus he won her-thus he took her. Passed the years in quick succession,- Little Fairies came to bless them- Gold Dust Twins, and bright B.V.D., Little Beechnut, Wrigley Spearmint, Vici Kid, and Pluto Water Filled the wigwam with their laughter. So they lived in happy union, Safe in peace, and strong in warfare, And their progeny continues,- Finds a place in town and hamlet, Known and loved by every mortal- All the tribes are held in honor. This the legend I have told you. - L - Mr. Vander Ploeg fto his new classy: l hope you don't mind my calling you by your last names.
