STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA Editorial The New Project-Student Lantern-Aurora. ' At last it is a reality! The Aurora Edition of the Student Lantern! The tradi- tional annual is no more. The union of the Lantern Staff with the Aurora Board has produced a book, more complete, less expensive, and fully as in-teresting. Al- though lack of money was the cause for the combining of these two publications, a successful substitute is the good result. All the unnecessary and costly-title pages, teachers pictures, dedication theme, and prophecy cease to exist. But still, with both the Student Lantern and Senior sec- tions in all their glory, there is a more compact Aurora. Senior, grade and club picturesg pres1ident's and valedictorian's addressesg class willy athletic sectionsg and many new ideas--such as the review of the year are what you will find in this book. Due to the reduced price and broad interest created, the circulation thas decidedly increased-more than eight hundred copies haviing been sold. And so here it is-a book that is to be read and treasured by Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores! To The Graduates To the class of '28 St H. S. extends its sincerest congratulations and best wishes. To you belongs all the honor and credit that graduation can bestow. To some of you perhaps, graduation means a long looked and hoped for emancipation-freedom from the cares and the struggles, of the class room. To the most of you, however, thoughts of graduation bring conflicting emotions-just as they have to hundreds of graduates before you. Joy because you have attained the goal for which you have been so earnestly striving the last three years, and regret at leaving Saginaw High never to return again as students. But no matter, what way in which you regard graduation itself, after all i-t means the opening of a new chapter. These chapters will be varied, but all will be new. As the unexplored territory before you is traversed, you will become separated from many of the friends you have made during your high school diays. Fond memories of those happy days will become dimmed in time, and new experiences, new friends. and new contacts will be yours. May your conduct and success in the future do everything to glorify and exalt the name of your school. Saginaw High believes in you. You, as a class have already done much to bring honor to the school, and to you, who will soon be Alumni, Saginaw High looks to carry on. Keep as your goal success and service. M-any of you with your noble ideals have taken 'the first step toward that goal. With high hopes and best wishes for your future Saginaw High bids you farewell. But remember The el-evator to suc- cess is not running, Take the Stairs . Advertisers Support New Project The merchants and business men of Saginaw have been very considerate and have co-operated wonderfully well in helping to finance the Student Lantern edition of the Aurora. Without their support, the book would have been an impossibility from a financial standpoint. Sixty-seven of Saginaw's merchants have extended financial aid for the publication of the much wanted Aurora Edition of the Lanterng and it is the natural obligation of the student body to show its appreciation by patron-- izing these advertisers. There will be approximately twenty pages of ads in the magazine edition and money to the amount of S250 has been collected. Various sized ads have been sol- icited-full page, half-page, quarter-page, and column inch. The advertising sec- tion has been made very attractive with the good-looking ads submitted by the adver- tisers Important reading material has been scattered throughout the ads, and the students will profit much by reading his portion of the magazine.

S. won the basket-ball tournament. 8-9-10-Regional basket-ball tournament won. On to Ann Arbor! 9-10-Lantern won medal in the national contest. Big fight to decide which one on the staff was most worthy to adorn himself with it. 1 6-Sophomore. Spread. Great unsolved puzzle'-who had .the best time-the Sophs, the Lantern re- porters, or the teachers? 17-Shamrock Shuffle. The girl-friend reigns supreme. 23-Lantern sponsors the annual paper drive. Strange how fthe Sophs invariably win it. 23-April 2-Spring vacation-and how!

If we're not as decorative as the Arthur Hill tribe of maidens in their dainty little white dresses and wrist corsages, we surely look more studious. Sour Grapes. ? Oh, no! Not even Pollyanna. 15--School closes. Tears are not especially in evidence. Second Annual Quill and Scroll Banquet at Bancroft. The Quill and Scrollers are certainly not on a diet.
