BAKER, Principal nate This Book is respectiully dedicated to our Friend and Teacher Moorell B. Baker PHILIPP HUBER, Superintendent R. PHILIPP HUBER, Superintendent of Schools of Union School district, com- prising the Gity of Saginaw, West Side, is a product of the best educational sys- tems of Germany, the place of his nativity, but for over a quarter of a century has been a citizen of this country and has become thoroughly imbued with the enterprise and spirit woich have given to the land of his adoption a leadership among the nations of the world. Mr. Huber came to Saginaw in 1891, and until 1894 was supervisor of German in the Bliss and other school buildings of the district. In that year, the Board of Education, recogniz- ing his capacity, made him principal of the building now known as the John Moore School. This position he filled until 1903, at which time, the district, being in need of one to perform the executive duties and to carry on the larger work of Superintendent, the Board promptly ad- vanced him to that place. Since then he has continued to exercise the functions of that important office with credit to himself and to the district. During his incum- bsncy additional school facilities have been inaugurated, old school buildings have been modernized and several new ones erected, among which is the Arthur Hill Trade School, now in successful operation, and into these mod- ern improvements and structures, as wellas into the large educational work of the district, the energies and judg- ment of Mr. Huber have entered to a great extent. As an educator and citizen he is held in high esteem. L. T. DURAND, President of School Board.

NEITHER COULD AFFORD IT ‘ What?’’ exclaimed the motorist, who had run over a farmer’s toe, ‘‘you want five hundred dollars for a crushed foot? Nonesense! I’m no millionaire.”’ ‘ Perhaps not,’’ eried the suffering farmer; ‘‘and I’m no eenti- pede either.’’ “SOLITAIRE” MADE KNOWN The crowd surged thru the main gate of the fairgrounds in a good-naturedly-sort-of-way. Jests and laughter were common. The majority of the people were young—students seemingly. Ban- ners of different hues were waving here and there. All at once there was a shout, ‘‘Tallehassee.’’ From close by came an answer. ‘Vanderbilt! Oh look at us!’” This was echoed by a third ery, “Bly away! Clemens! Clemens!’’ These outerys started the blow- ing of hundreds of horns, squawkers and the like. The crowd, be- came in a hurry and passed at double quick time thru the gate. At leneth there were only the stragglers passing. Stanley Ellis drew up the vanguard, partly from preference and partly from necessity. One limb was slightly crippled which made walking slow. Stanley could not mix with other young people. The reason wasn’t altogether bashfulness, but rather the fact that he was not able to enter into the pleasures and interests common to young people of his age. Then, too, in his actions and speech, he was oldcy than his years. He was thinking of this as he hobbled along the cinder race track. ““T don’t see way I can’t enjoy other people’s company or make myself agreeable. No one ever comes around to go with me any- where. Maybe it’s because I’m crippled, but I don’t think. so. There’s Tom Hicks, everyone likes to have him around.’’ Musing thus he stood leaning against the fence waiting for the aeroplane flights to start, for this was the first aviation meet of three col- leges, Tallehassee, Vanderbilt and Clemens. ‘ Good afternoon, Stanley. Waiting for the birds to fly.’’ Looking around he say Prof. Gale, best known of the Vander- bilt faculty. ‘Yes, Sir. It will be an interesting sight, Sir.’’ “You'll be tired standing. Come wth me. My wife eouldn’t come this afternoon, so I have an extra seat. “Oh, thank you, Sir, but I wouldn’t want to intrude.’’ ‘ No intrusion, boy. Come; I'll enjoy your company.”’ As they walked slowly toward the grandstand, gladness and wonder were equal feelings of Stanley’s heart. He had always thot more of Prof. Gale than of his other teachers, yet he had never dreamed of enjoying such a treat as this. When they were seated, Prof. Gale encouraged Stanley to talk about his life and interests. It was not long before the reserve of Stanley had disappeared and they were talking lke old friends. The theme of conversation turned to aviation. “‘T think, Sir. I could fly if necessary. I’ve studied the prin- ciples, methods, and construction of the different makes of ma- chines. Of course, practice is the only way to gaing a working knowledge. Some day, I hope to try.”’ “Well, Stanley, | hope you may, although, it’s a dangerous pleasure. Ah, they’re starting. The three aeroplanes of the three schools were moving across the field. Gracefully they rose into the air. The no ise was deafen- ing both from the motors and from the crowd. ‘The flight was to be to a nearby town and return. The planes swiftly flew away as birds on their way south. But a short time and they were mere specks on the blue of the sky. A half hour passed and the three were seen returning. The race was close for they were very jnear together. One plant shot down under the others in a long slanting direct line for the fairgrounds. It struck the ground a half a min- ute before the others. Vanderbilt had won. Cheers upon cheers rent the air. Stanley, even, joined in the shouting. There was great commotion, indeed, while the crowd dispersed. Prof. Gale left Stanley at the gate with a friendly goodbye. ‘“Come up to my house some evening, Stanley. To-morrow night I’ll be at Cedar, but any other time. Good bye.”’ Stanley watched Prof. Gale’s auto until it turned a distant corner. While he was standing thus he heard people talking not far away. ‘‘ Who is that young man over there?’’ ‘‘Oh, that’s Stanley Ellis, alias ’Solitaire.. Always goes around alone. Don’t know what he is worth. He has never proved his value. The people were moving away and the last few words were very indistinct. Stanley’s tace lost its cheery expression. ‘‘Soilitaire’’ he spoke aloud. ‘‘So that’s what they call me. My non de plume. Very expressive and romantic. Well, I suppose there’s no help for it. I must continue to live my life and let others live theirs.’’ He turned down the street to his home, two blocks away. The following evening, Stanley paddled slowly up the Wa-Wa- soo-kee river. Canoe riding in the evening was getting to be a. habit with Stanley. Lacking human companions, he found severa friends near to nature’s heart. -To-night the banks of the little stream had become indistinct soon after he had set out. Vander- bilt college had been established in a rural district and a sparcely settled one at that. The Wa-Wa-soo-kee could hardly boast of one house overlooking its beauties for ten miles along its course nort! of Vanderbilt. For this reason Stanley felt very much alone alone with nature. Suddenly he saw a flash of light on the shore. It was a small camp-fire. Quietly Stanley turned the canoe closer to the bushes along the bank. He could give no reason for spying only that he felt that something was wrong. His hand brought the canoe very near the bank and he obtained a good view. There were four, young men around the fire. It was easy to hear their conversation. “ T tell you, fellows, we have got to get even tonight and even for all time. Gale is all to blame for not playing in next Satur- day’s game. If he hadn’t caught us in that gambling hole and hadn’t told the Dean we would have played against Vanderbilt. Without us Clemens hasn’t much show to win. Gale knew it, too, that’s why he told. I tell you we’ve got to take it out of him.”’ ‘Well, Bill, we’re here for that purpose, if you don’t make it too strong.’’ ‘“Too strong! Nothing less than tar and feathers will do the business. ”’ “Do you think we’re living in the days of Salem. We’re not savages.’ ‘Oh, eut your talk. We’ll just put ’em on his clothes. It’ll be hot enough at that.’’ Bill continued, ‘‘Now here’s the plan. He has gone up to Cedar to-niht. We'll drive back at eleven. About half a mile down the river there is a sharp bend in the river. The road also turns at quite an angle. We will wait for him there. I’ve got the ‘tars and teathers’ on the spot already. He won’t see the tire until we are ready for him.’’ ‘ But, Gosh, Bill, it’s a State’s prison offense.’’ ‘ Aw shuckks, brace up. Here take a drink all round on me.”’ Stanley’s nerves were strained to the breaking point. His blood boiled and thoughts passed through his mind like a mill race. Dur- ing the last sentence he leaned too far toward the bank. ‘To save himself trom upsetting, he grasped the bushes. This made consid- erable noise. ‘lhe four jumped up, saw Stanley, and made for the bank. With a quick thrust Stanley sent the light canoe out from shore. He headed downstream and paddled with all his might. Two of the young men had jumped into another canoe and weré giving chase. The race was short. A flash-light was turned on Stanley. Buill’s voice spoke. ‘‘Spying, were you, you contemptible little scalawag. We'll teach you better manners. Give me your paddle.”’ ‘““What if I don’t,’’ Stanley replied erisply. ‘‘Upset you, that’s all. Come, hustle up.’’ Stanley thought quickly. Should he fight or wait for develop- ments? He decided on the latter course. He would be in better condition to help Prof. Gale. Bill tossed the paddle in the bottom of the boat. He motioned for his companion to paddle. He, being in the stern, steered with one hand and kept hold of Stanley’s canoe with the other. The two boats reached the bank and all clambered out. By the fire- light Stanley obtained a better view of his captors. Althought he judged they were prominent in inter-collegiate affairs, yet they were unknown to him. ‘“‘Now, Solitudinary, or whatever your name is, you think you’ve discovered quite a plot. Little good it will do you. First thing you’ve got to promise you will never say a word about this tx anyone. You know we might tar and feather you.’’ Bill spok. sarcastically. ‘“There would be a hot time here if you tried that; but there’s no possibility of such a measure. As to my promising to keep quiet, 1711 do nothing of the kind.’’ ‘Ho, you won’t. We'll see.”’ Stanley was suddenly grasped from behind in a wrestling hold that throttled him. Struggling was useless. His arms were tied behind by a rope around his wrists. “We will put him in Rundo’s aviation shed. He will be out of the way there.’’ Bill motioned for Stanley to. follow him. The other three brought up the rear. Atter walking perhaps a quarter of a mile, they came to a large clearing. ‘Lhe dusky outline ot a low build- ing could be seen not tar away. Crossyng the level ground, they drew up betore the sliding doors of the aviation shed. Bill un- lovked these and they entered. ‘ You may rest in peace here. Hope you will enjoy yourself.’’ Bili spoke again with a sareastic tone. With this the four turned and went out. The doors shut and Stanley heard the snap of the padlock. His heart sank. He wishea he had tought it out at tne start. ‘I'he prospect looked vioomy indeed. ‘‘Bosh, such thoughts won’t do any good. The question is, how am Lt going to get Out or here?’’ he thouht. He managed to work a small flash-light ou. of his coat pocket onto the tloor. te could make out the general details ot the in- terior by the light. A large aeroplane stood in the front next to fim. At the back was a carpenter’s bench. Upon this bench he tound a pleasant surprise. A saw had been left in a vise prepara- tory to or aiter sharpening. Very laboriously he managed to Gllmb upon the bench. With a great deal of trouble he succeeded in hacking into the rope with which his hands were bound. : Now he could do something. He examined the doors. Yes, the lock could be cut entirely out. After a little he found a brace and bit and keyhole saw. ‘the doors were made of soft wood and ottered littie resistance to the process. He knocked out the piece and again heard the rattle of the padlock, this time with joy, for now tne doors sid open. He was free. How was he to warn the Professor? He had taxed his walk ing powers considerably already. Then, too, the road was on thy opposite side of the river. li he were to hunt for his canoe he might run a great chance of detection by Bill and his bang. He could not go tor assistance. There were no houses for miles around. Despair again crept into his heart. He turned and hobbled slowly back into the shed. His flash-light made visible the aeroplane. He stopped short, seized with a wild thought. _ SAGINAW, Mi LAVT ee | PUBLIC LIRPARY NIP TOs i {} QQ ULL LU OO ‘“Gee, I wonder if I could do it.’? He looked the machine over, examined every part, and tried the mechanism. His reading had given him a great familiarity with the working of a machine, yet he hesitated at putting his knowledge into practice under such con- ditions. He was brought face to tace with the fact, however, that the aeroplane offered the only means of warning Prof. Gale. ‘‘ Yes, I’ll do it,’’ he muttered. He oiled all important parts; looked at the register on gasoline tanks, and shoved the doors open. Everything seemed ready for departure. He donned a thick jacket and cap that were hanging on the wall. With quite a good deal of difficulty he climbed into the aviator’s seat. The self-starter responded to the turn of a button. Bang! Bang! The motor started with a noise like a machine gun. It sounded good to Stanley, however, especially since the explosions had now become regularly timed. He shoved in the clutch. Whir! It seemed as though a wind had sprung up. The aeroplane moved. Slowly it cleared the building. Gaining speed every second it rolled over the level ground. It seemed an age to Stanley before he felt the machine leave the ground. He was really flymg. What a sensation it was. Up, up, he went, almost intoxicated with the new experience. Now he was high enough to pay some attention to his course. He must follow the river and land very near to Cedar. He judged it to be about 10 o’clock. How cold it was! Underneath he could distinguish the course of the river by its chim- mering reflection of the stars. He turned the direction of the machine. Directions came to him mechanically. He seemed to be living In a dream. The wind was rising. It chilled him to the bone. Suddenly the machine pitched down. He righted it, scarcely knowing how he did so. If he only could go a little farther without mishap, all would be well. Every minute he was increasing the angle of depression of those twinkling lights of Cedar. There a little ahead of that bend of the river was a large meadow he knew well. He fnelined the planes toward the earth and shut off thé motor. How often he had wished to volplane in reality. Now his wish had come true. The earth came to meet him with rapidity. Quicker than he could tell the rubber-tired wheels struck the ground. Stanley felt as though he were on a rubber ball. When would the bounding cease? The more pleasing bound soon merged into a nerve-racking jolt. His teeth rattled. He surely knew he had reached the ground. He appled the brakes carefully. The machine came to a stop. It was finished; the flight was made. He really could fly. He could warn Prof. Gale and outwit the gang of plotters. All these thoughts tumbled through his mind in quick succession. He was cold through and through. Climbing out of the ma- chine, he hobbled around and beat his arms together. The sound of an approaching automobile made Stanley start for the road as fast as his chilled bones would permit. He reached it just in time to hail a passing car. It was Prof. Gale. His aston- ishment was unspeakkable when he found that Stanley was tl speaker and more so when Stanley’s story was told. ‘“And you made an aeroplane flight to warn me of a treacheror plot,’? he ejaculated. ‘‘Shades of St. Anthony, this world is ‘ne dead yet.’’ He continued. ‘‘Why, boy, I appreciate your action but it was too much risk to run for the reason involved. I wouldn’t have let them tar and feather me. You see I always carry a life preserver when I’m out like this. I’m pretty glad you warned me, however. Climb in and we will see about these bandits.’’ As they drove along the road Prof. Gale would burst out in a remark addressed to himself, something like this: ‘‘Jupiter, an aeroplane flight at this time of the night. Never flew before. Nerve? What do you know about that.’’ Turning to Stanley as they were nearing the place of ambush, Prof. Gale said, ‘‘I believe we will find the bandits have skipped out. They couldn’t help but hear you start with the aeroplane. I think they will have had so much respect for your nerve, that they will have disappeared, bag and baggage.’’ So it proved. The fire was still burning but there was no sign of Bill and his gang or the tar and feathers. They continued on their way and reached Vanderbilt in safety. As they drew up before Stainley’s home, Prof. Gale said earnestly, ‘“You’ve done a great thing tonight, both for me and the school.”’ “Tt wasn’t much, Prof. Gale. Any other fellow would hava done the same thing,’’ Stanley replied. ‘‘Maybe so, maybe so. Well, goodnight. I will see you in the morning.’’ The Professor drove away and Stanley once more watched the disappearing ear. Sleep for Stanley that might was a succession of dreams in which canoes, aeroplanes, tar and feathers, rubber balloons and Prof. Gale were the principle features. The next morning Vanderbilt college was assembled in a mass meeting. Prof. Gale told the story of the night before to the won- dering students. Stanley was forced to come forward and receive the congratulations of the President of the College. As cheer after cheer rang out for Stanley Ellis, he knew that his days of solitud: were over and that he had proven his worth. F, W. MORRIS. hilomathie 2 ‘S 4 4 ¢ “iss f. ’ 4 4 6 ae tik The Philomathice Society began its work early this year. Tha first meeting was held in September. At this meeting eleven new members were admitted to the Society. This shows that the So- ciety is popular among the students. As usual the debates were the main features of the meetings. At some of the meetings very interesting papers and stories were read. The programs were always coneluded with either vocal or, instrumental selections. One of the most interesting debates was, ‘‘Resolved, That pre- paredness for war would be detrimental to the United States.’’ Miss Nash was the leader of the affirmative team while Mr. Baker was the leader of the negative. This was the first time teachers ever debated in the society. Although the negative team won the debate, ‘‘Resolved, That ragtime does more harm than good,’’ we are not all convinced that it does no harm, 6LVL LG600 OGEL € In December we received an invitation to join the Valley De- bating League. This invitation was promptly accepted for we love to debate. This year five schools of Saginaw Valley participated in an inter-scholastic debate on the subject, ‘‘Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine, as developed and applied, should be abandoned as a part of the foreign policy of the United States.’’ Our affirmative team was led by Floyd Morris and supported by George Burrows and Pearl Proestel, and on the evening of April 7th the negative team from Flint came to Arthur Hill and convinced the judges that they were arguing on the right side of the question. On the same evening our negative team, Jed by Emmett Davis, supported by Bertrand Sibley and Arthur Rice, journeyed to Bay City Western and proved that the Monroe Doctrine should not be adandoned, tha decision of the judges being unanimous in their favor. The championship of this debate was won by the Flint teams as they won both the debates in which they engaged. Saginaw lost one, Arthur Hill lost one. Bav Citv Eastern lost one, and Bay City Western lost both debates. The Philomathie Society has now won four victories out of five inter-scholastic debates; hence we fee? that our record is good in spite of the fact that we were defeated by Flint. 4 The last literary meeting was very well received as it was in magazine form. Verv interesting stories, editorials. and current events were read. We had an Englishman and an Irishman to en- tertain us with their jokes. Several members took part in the ad- vertisements which were given as tableaux. This successful year of the society was closed by the annual banquet which was held May 28. We wish to thank Miss Wells and her girls for the excellent banauet which they prepared. We sin- cerely hope that the society will be as successful next year. HAD SEEN SOMETHING LIKE IT Miss Atkins was explaining to her class the difference between a common noun and an abstract noun. “An example of a common noun is ‘eat,’ ’’ she said; ‘‘for you can see it, while you cannot see an abstract noun. Now, for ex- ample, have any of you ever seen ‘abundance’ ?”’ This query was received in profound silence. Then a little fel- low got up and said: ‘‘No, ma’am, I have never seen a bun dance, but I’ve seen a cake walk.”’ Girl's @lub The Girls’ Club was organized in October, 1912. The object of the club is to make tthe girls better acquainted with one another, and to encourage a stronger school spirit. The club has now been in existence four years and its object is being successfully carried out by the members. All who attended the ‘‘Valentine Leap Year Party’’ know what it is to go to a girls’ party. I am sure everyone had an en- joyable time. Another party which deserves mention was given in the ninth grade session room. This took the form of a ‘‘Dress- Up’’ party. During the four years of its existence the club has accomplished a great deal for the benefit of the girls by bringing them together and helping them to get acquainted with each other, but of course, there is always more to be accomplished. How much better it would be if all the high school girls would join, as everyone is elig- ible. Every one should turn out for the meetings and be ready to help and give suggestions instead of leaving it to a few ambitious enes. How much more would be gained if we showed our loyalty and school spirit by attending all the school activities and by tak- ing a deep interest in all events connected with the High School, OFFICERS OF GIRLS’ CLUB Edna Schneider—President.

JUNIOR PLAY “LOST A CHAPERON’”’ The third annual ‘J’ play was presented Jan. 7th, 1916. Classy acting, loud socks, boiled rice, good looking girls and fellows, and a real good play combined to give an exceptionally entertaining evening. Everything went off in good shape and nobody laughed when Harriet fell into the barrel or when Kathryn showed her socks. Outside of these two mishaps the play and the dance which follow: ed was one of the best ever presented. In fact, it was superseded only by our Senior Play. The play dealt with the adventures of several college girls who were out camping, minus a chaperone. Afraid to be alone, they seek the protection’ of some boy friends who are camping in the same vineinity. Complications set in when these boys attempt to They enlist the aid of seare the girls instead of protecting them. some engineers working in the vicinity. The engineers then go to rescue the girls. All ends happily in the arrival of the chaperon. Seene laid in the woods in Sherwood, Maine. Gecdcbigoms (a.

Hattersley QUITCHEKIKKIN Clubs are often considered against the best interest of a school, but strange to say it would be better if Arthur Hill High Sehool was less like a school and more like a club. If a member of a elub makes a mistake the others always try their level best to help him out of the mire and correct the error. What happens under like circumstances in our school. If a teacher or a student makes a blunder, before a word ean be said three-fourths of the school are up with hammer and tongs to make the person’s life as miserable as possible. To err is human nature, and because a fellow studer slips up we extend a hand to him, but not to help—to push him deeper and deeper into the hole. Some one said that he dreamed Arthur Hill was no longer a school but a real companionable club, meeting daily for mutual education and mutual co-operation. You ean help a little to make dreams come true, —— Sophomores When in the year 1914 a large class of new-comers entered the portais of the Arthur Hill High School as Freshmen they were scorned and guyed as all Freshies are by the Upper Classmen. But it did not take long tor them to assert their rights and they did it in a way most fitting to Arthur Hill students. In athletics they: brought the Basket-ball banner to their room from the grasp of the proud and haughty Sophs. Their social activities were startling also, inasmuch as they gave a dance which was pronounced a sue- cess by all. In the fall of 1915 these self same Freshmen became the proud Sophs of Arthur Hill. Their record, bright as it was last year be- came brighter as the new year advanced until now they have no equal. (Pardon us grave Seniors.) Soon after school began a class-meeting was held and officers elected. Geo. Lord Burrows was re-elected President as a reward for his ability as a Freshmen. Tina Lorenzen became Vice Presi! dent, Beecher Smith Treasurer, and Emmett O. Davis Secretary. As a class we have no equal. Especially is this true in athleties. KE. Brooks, Wm. Graham, Harvey Spaulding and Chester Ellithorpe came from among the Sophomore numbers to swell the strength of the football squad as stars for the first team. Geo. Schemm. the small but gritty second team eaptain also eame from this class. The large Basket-ball Banner remained with this class this year as a reward for the efforts of our class team. The Siebel cup, a trophy awarded to the class winning the indoor inter-class track meet also adorns our room as a_ result of the work done by our athletes. Beside it hangs the inter-class out- door trophy, a large banner captured from the Seniors at Merrill Field. The school teams were largely composed of Sophomore inaterial throughout the year. Three of the four big teams had Sophomore captain’s Basket-ball claimed Earl Brooks, Track, Harvey D Spaulding, and Base-ball, Earl Brooks. The man who las done so much for us in base-ball and made an enviable record for himself hails from our class, Captain Earl Brooks. He also help- ed to win the Valley Track Meet. We respect the Senior because of his position and because we do not wish him to have a bad impression of the school he leaves behind him. The Sophomore is respected because of his superiority. This vear’s class has been an honor gaining factor for the School. They began as Freshmen and will continue so until the solemn veil of Commencement shall fall and forever shut them off from their High School career. Therefore it behooves all who may chance te read this article, which but poorly describes the splendor of the Sophomore, to expect great things from the future men and womel: of this class. Whe knows but what some day one of our number will be President of the United States. We are all great. Respectfully submitted, EMMETT O. DAVIS, See’y. Class of 718.. BRAINS Brains are common to all parts of the country. Traces of theni have been discovered in summer at Lenox, Bar Harbor and New- port. They are oirginally used to obtain money but when money is obtained by them it usually takes their place. The quality of brains varies in different localities. Mixed with ginger they become very valuable. With a spine they are a ne- cessity in every household. At one time they influenced literature but the discovery was made that literature could do without them. Since then they have heen almost entirely devoted to advertising. Brains are employed’in various enterprises. They build up business enterprises, make bridges, railroads, ete. They also create capitol and are used extensively in evading the law. They mix with water and gasoline but are absorbed by alcohol. Brains are bright and sold in the open market. They may be traded in on the exchange in Washington and Albany or in other political centres. The best quality however are not traded in. In- deed oftentimes they are not even heard of till long after they have passed away. E. O. DAVIS. Freshmen Fiarly in the year we Freshmen held our first class meeting and adopted the resolution that no one who smoked could hold office in our class. Later the vote was taken and the following officers elected: President—Jack Love. Vice President—Russell Phillips. Secretary—Dorothy Spaulding. Treasurer—Helen Goldstein. At the next meeting called, beside several minor details, the class colors green and white were chosen. Entertainments were not in our line but we did our share in achleties. David Sticknkey representing us in baseball, basketball and football and Ralph Tallor in track. And next year watch all ye upper-class men and we will show you what a class unhampered mentally or physically by tobacco can do. Class History “D’yuh ’Member—Huh?

Of course, I had to stumble up that step, and they’re all looking too. Thank heaven, that’s over. Now where do we go? All that way? Ain’t these stairs the limit! My, what a big room. One hour later: Freshman and Gertie wending way towards Union Drug for much needed refreshments. Freshman: ‘‘Say, who on earth is that boy you sit with? My seat’s a pipe. I ean talk all I want.

REEL III. Class Meeting. We have awakened. Social obligations threw a dipper of cold water on our dormant faculties, We the free and independent Juniors, have taken unto us a president above us (in height at’ least )—Jimmie, the Irrefutable. To him are justly due thanks for much of the success of our enterprises. Twas the night of the Hop! ““There was a sound of revelry by night— And Saginaw’s youth had gathered in her beauty and _ her chivalry—’”’ You don’t mean to say any other Junior classes ever gave a Hop! Their’s were merely preludes to a grand finale. And then our Junior Play! What drew rapturous applause from the front rows—why Jimmie in kilts, y’ know. After the Banquet’s Over. ““Oh, Gertie, (yes, the same one) isn’t it awful to get up from the table with an empty starved, inside feeling? Well—I had it onee—at the J. Banquet. But what material satisfaction it lacked was amply repaid by the plentitude of school spirit. ’’ ‘ Well, I thot there was some sort of spirits there, I found a stick in my punch.”’ Note: Our financial embarrassment was not due to flagging effort on the part of our president or class officers. It was during our Junior Year, as you may reeall, that the memorable duet by Fritz Guider and Bill Burrows was sung, en- titled—‘‘ America I Love You and Die Wacht Am Rhein.’’ Here lie the Juniors. Shoulders bowed with debt. But when. we are Seniors We’ll show them all yet—(once) The influence of the German club is spreading. REEL IV. Crash! Bang! Something large lands on centre of stage. Matrons, please level your lorgnettes! Why, it’s a Senior, to be sure. But merey, how changed. Gone is the emerald halo, the fearful pallor, and the ugonizing embarrassment. Instead, the becoming echru hue ae- quired by long hours on the field, the intelligent gleam in the eye, and the bored look, bespeaking sophistication take their places. He is, indeed, a finished Senior. Senior (advancing down stage, then jumping horrorstruck)— ““Miss Ascher !’’ Miss Ascher: ‘‘ What is your particular ailment, my infant ?’’ Senior (gulping)—‘‘ You—you here!”’ NUFF SED. Senior (losing al] vestige of hope, hangs hat in 12th grade dis- play wardrobe, and slinks wearily into a vacant seat. Disgusted hy the chatter of the gentler sex, who vainly try to attract his at- tention, he wanders aimlessly forth into the great halls, sprinkled with busts (mostly busted). There he finds distraction). Fresh: ‘‘All right, thank you, sir.’’ Exit. A Freshman: Would you please tell me the way to the ninth grade?”’ Senior unbending: ‘‘Sure. Go up that stairs there, and then turn. You can’t miss it.”’ Senior laughs, as in retrospection, he sees himself four, or was it five, years ago. ‘hen he meets a group ot old time friends. Kellows: ‘‘’Lo, Senior.’’ Senior: ‘‘Gee, teliows, it’s great to see you all. What have you been doing; knocking around? But now it’s back to the same old grind. Isn’t it awful?’’—(groans)— One Fellow: ‘‘Rotten luek. If it weren’t for—’’ Another Fellow—alias N. 8.— ‘Mary, that’s it. Same ola story. ‘‘Gee, 1’m glad l’m immune.’’ (? ? 7?) One F.: ‘‘Smarty! Just wait until you get your dose.’’ Timid footsteps resound down the corridor. Senior feels some- one plucking at his sleeve. Freshman: ‘‘Say, I’ve been hunting all this time, I haven’t found the ninth grade yet.”’ Loud uproar from fellows. Senior (benevolently): ‘‘ Well, it’s hard luck, old chap.’’ (Fresh brightens up). ‘‘Come on, 1’ll show you the way. So long, Fellows.’’ Boys: ‘‘So long’’—aside; ‘‘Well what on earth struck him?”’ A Few Months Later. Senior strutting about halls, withered leaves (from his laure} erown) fall behind him. In his wake walks a fair damsel, loaded down with Huyler’s, Gilbert’s, ete., that she has won as trophies of Senior’s football victories. Hearing footsteps Senior pauses, and looks about him. A radiant smile prevades his erstwhile sober countenance, as he sees fair damsel. Senior: ‘‘Say-er-Gert,’’ (tis she) ‘‘how about that dance next Firday night?’’ Gert: (readers take notice), coyly: ‘‘What dance?’’ Senior: ‘‘The dance I’m going to take you to.”’ Miss Koslosky (sourly), ‘‘No talking in the halls.’’ Senior: (Walking off). ‘‘I’ll be around at eight.’’ Gert (to herself)’’ Well, I’m INTERLUDE (Now for some fun.) A. loud bray heard in the distance. Enter Georgie C., accom- panied by his ‘‘conservatory’’ Orchestra strikes up ‘‘The Blooms of Beatrice.’’ After a few ‘‘strains’’ Georgie begins his little dance, assisted in each tortured gyration by a different blossom. FIRST BLOOM Orchestra: ‘‘Oh, Beatrice Fairfax’’—Georgie and that rare speciment of the genus Beatrice, commonly called Forget-me-not ; perform a few contortions. Then, the delicate flower, ceasing ta thrive in that atmosphere, ‘‘burrows’’ her way past her compan. ions, and flourishes once more on the “‘leas.”’ SECOND BLOOM Orchestra: ‘‘Just a Littie Love a uittle Kiss.’?

Next in the stately procession comes someone with a magnify- ing glass, looking intentiy about him, a second Diogenes? No, this one 1s looking tor ads. Ot course, you know him, Jumping Jimmy. (Insert Picture) No. 4. He is met by another personage, who grabs the glass excitedly, peers thru it, and then slaps Jimmy appraisingly on the back. Bill: ‘ Good work, oid boy, how did you ever make ’em come round ?’’ Jim: ‘‘Ask dad, he knows. But don’t bother me now, for I’ve simply got to keep an important engagement.’’ Bill: ‘‘Here’s luck.’’ Jimmy leaves stage and Bill is alone. He starts to walk up and down excitedly, muttering to himself. What is this terrible curse? Oh, he’s only rehearsing his lines for the Senior Play, for he is a married man, and, of course, needs much practice for that role. At this juncture Roy rushes in, raising a kick. . Roy: ‘‘That English test was awful! I’ll flunk, sure, and i I do I’ never graduate.’’ Bill: ‘‘Tough luck, Ben. Say, have you seen Mrs. MacDon. ough? I want to find out about a costume.”’ Roy: ‘‘Yes, she’s in the teachers’ room.”’ Bill rushes madly off. Roy, thinking himself unseen, pulls out a small mirror and an effeminate comb and begins to straighten his tangled locks. A loud titter off stage. Bessie MeLein and Lois Arnold arrive on the scene. Roy, in confusion, betakes himself to other parts, while Bessie and Lois, disliking the gloomy atmosphere of indoors, stroll out to greener regions, there to while away the idle hourse in dresses. Time flies by—the Senior play— Well, you all had your own favorite, so why dwell in an empty house? (Oh, fleeting Muses, lend.us some inspirations!) A Few Weeks Later. Senior: ‘‘Say, Junior, when does that Banquet come off?’’ Junior: ‘‘Well-er, inside information tells me very soon.’’ Senior: ‘‘Well-er, I hope inside information is a forerunner of inside satisfaction.’’ Junior fades away. And now must the Senior hasten about with a hopeless gleam in his eye. The Legenda must go to print, and exams must be passed—and—oh what not! But finally in one grand reel, Senior comes to the top of the ladder of ambition, using his diploma as the last rung. Among the tears of mother, because son has grown up, the proud looks of father and the admonitions of Mr. Baker to put his left foot on stage steps first, Senior at last puts the finishing act on his life’s little tragic-comedy, and accepts his sheep-skin with a smile on his lips, and a tear in his eye. As he thinks of all he might have accomplished for his class-mates and his Alma Mater, the line—‘‘of all sad things of tongue or pen, the saddest are, it might have been’’—run thru his head. Nevertheless, he hopes on, and resolves to do his best in the future, so that regret might not enter his heart once more. His school days are over for- ever, his old associations are broken, and he is a man of the world. So, fellow students, if you have not been mentioned here, it was lack of space which prohibited your extolling, for you who leave as the class of 716 will never be forgotten. And now, altho all your connection with old Arthur Hill are to be severed, may you all rise above the tombstone of bittersweet memories, to smile at the world—even as she depicted below will smile forever in this Legenda. Tho we sail across the ocean, We’ll remember old times’ tie— We'll remember you, dear Arthur Hill With a smile And a sigh. EDITORIAL THE KNOCKER’S CREED “ T believe that nothing is right. I believe that everything is wrong. I believe that I alone have right ideas. The Criterion is wrong, the editor is wrong, the people are wrong, and they are doing wrong anyhow, I believe I would fix things if they would let me. If they don’t I’ll get a lot of other fellows like myself and we will have laws passed to make others do things the way we want them done. JI am opposed to fun and am happiest when at a funeral. I believe in starting reforms that will take the joy out of life. It’s a sad world and I’m glad of it. Amen.”’ Moral: Ask yourself this question. ‘‘Are you one of these?’’ 2ENIOR DANCE CLASS OF ’16y September 1916 SMITH HALL Water (Par Exc.) JUNIOR DANCE CLASS OF 717 October 5th, 1915 SMITH HALL (E.

THE GERMAN CLUB The German Club was organized last fall under the direction of Miss Ascher. he purpose of this club is to gain practice in speaking German. | The meetings, conducted in German, were held every two weeks at the homes ot the girls. Part of the time of the meeting was devoted to the study ot German literature, the remaining timu was spent in playing games. The entertainment given June 2nd, marked the closing activi- ties of the year. The music was furnished by Iva Fisher, Caroline Dingle: and Christie Kumbier.

FAREWELL ADDRESS Wise little Freshmen, sophisticated Sophomores, and ecarnivor- ous Juniors, lend me your ears. I wish to inform you that one of the most noble, upright classes that has ever controlled this noted school, is about to depart. Did you ever realize that the class of 1916, the class which has always endeavored to give and always has given you a good time the class which has seen and helped old A. fl. H. S. triumph over Saginaw thrice in football, in baseball; the class which has seen and helped old A. H. H. 8S. win a Valley meet; the class of athletes, the class of students, the class of future pos- sibilities is about to leave A. H. H. S. for larger fields. We are leaving the contrcl of the school into more youthful hands. I erieves us sadly to go, for we know not how such a responsible po- sition will be treated by humans not of the same noble calibre as ourselves. But we must leave, and before leaving we must tell you how to behave after we have left you. First, do not try to domineer over your teachers for they may not like it. Second, always ac- cept the teacher’s advice while managing the school. (You may learn something.) Third, always think of how the school has been managed before you were given control. Use us a model. Fourth, insist on some of the many necessities the school must have, such as a gymnasium, and auditorium. Get to work and procure the necessities which we have been unable to procure. Keep these rules well in mind, cherish them and follow them and you will never come to grief. We shall always keep a watchful eye upon you. Remember this. So saying, we must bid you farewell. Farwell forever as fai as the A. H. H. S. is concerned. Thanking you for your kind at- tention, we hope that you will forever keep in mind and use as a model the class of 1916. sek 4 The eall for candidates early in April uncovered a promising turnout and Capt. Spaulding started out with a determination to show the Valley that the Arthur Hill High School had not died shortly after winning the Valley Meet in 1907, but had been merely hybernation, so to speak. In the first meet the Saginaw boys nicely trounced our repre- sentatives, but the roll eall showed Jerome and Brooks absent and Capt. Spaulding tardy so that we were not discouraged, but looked for greater success in the Valley. Next came a cross-country relay race between Saginaw, Bay City Eastern, Flint, Arthur Hill, and Bay City Western. The latter school failed to show up and the rest finished in the order named. Ollie Richards, who figured prominently in the winning of the 1907 Valley Meet for Arthur Hill, came out after the cross-country, and we appreciated his services from then until the end of the sea- son, and it was through him that we won the Valley Meet this year. Onur favorite sons got in fast company at Alma but neverthe- less we were satisfied with the experience gained and high indi- vidual points, not to mention the enjoyable return trip. Ever with an eye on tha Valley championship, the boys work- ed hard all week and appeared at Alumni Field with due confi- dence. The count ended with Arthur Hill more than ten points above Saginaw, the nearest contestant, and Harvey Spaulding, “‘the pride of the Valley,’’ leading in individual points. his fact got to be a convention with Harvey and he would have been much disappointed without it. Brooks, Kanzler, Doerfner, Spaulding, and Jerome each finished with one or more firsts to his eredit, with Kanzler, Tallen, Jerome, and Spaulding figuring in the relay. Spaulding, Doerfner, Tallen, and Kanzler are expected to do big things at the state meet at M. A. C., although we were not rep- resented at Ann Arbor. A great share of this vear’s men will return next year and we sce great possibilities for ancther successful team next spring. —Burrows. THE WAIST PLACES. Mary had a little waist, T was puzziing to her beau, For everywhere the fashion went Her waist was sure to go. Sometimes it was beneath her arms, Sometimes below her knee, Sometimes she had no waist at all So far as he could see. MEETING ALL EXPECTATIONS One evening the young minister, who had seemed rather at- tracted by ‘‘ Big Sister’’ Grace, was dining with the family. ‘‘Little Sister’’ was talking rapidly when the visitor was about to ask the blessing. Turning to the child he said in a tone of mild reproof: ‘‘Laura, | am going to ask grace.”’ ‘ Well, it’s about time,’’ answered ‘‘ Little Sister’’ in an equally reproving tone. ‘‘We’ve been expecting you to do it for a year, and she has too.’’ AN EVEN THING ‘ Aw, Aw,’’ said Snobleigh—‘‘it must be aw—very unpleasant for you Americans to be—aw—governed by people whom—you— aw—wouldn’t ask to dinner.’’ ““Oh, 1 don’t know,’’ said the American girl; ‘‘no more so than for you to be governed by people who wouldn’t ask you to dinner.’’ BASKET BALL 12 ‘ Altho the 1916 Basket ball team did not win the majority of the games played they certainly came thru with some mighty close ‘seorces. In all of the games the boys displayed the pep and scrap that has been so prominent in Arthur Hill athletics during the last few years. When you take into consideration the fact that there was only one veteran on the team, and that the team as a whoie was lighter than any of their oppoents, it seems that the team got by the 1916 season in fairly good style. Captain Brooks, a Junior and the only veteran on the team was the real star of all the games. In the Alpena and the Flnt battles he scored all the points registered by the team, while in all the other games he scored more points than anybody else. By virtue of his work in the Lansing game Brooks was picked for the All-State. This the first time an Arthur Hill man has attained this henor. Clark, Stickney, and McKay alternated at the feewarad posi- tions Clark’s good work will be ended by graduation; but we hope to have Stickney and McKay, both Sophomores, two more yaars with the team. Stickney showed up particularly well in the Say vity Western game and shared forward honors with MeKay at Lansing. The Junior class contributed two consistant and scrappy guards in Britton and Moore. Britton did his best work in the pay City Western and the Saginaw games. Moore starred in the sagiraw and Flint games. At the end of the season Brooks wes re-elected zaptain of the team. So with five letter men back, Arthur Hill’s chances in bas- het ball for 1917 look better than ever before. We hope to cop the Valley and maybe to’ have a chance at State title. THE RECORD FOR 1916.

Vell, then Isaae,’’ said Joseph, ‘‘if there is no hell, where is bizness gone ?”’ A. H. H. S. 54—LAPEER 0. The first game of the season was an easy one. Lapeer’s men nad size and weight, but they seemed ignorant of matters pertain- ing to football. Arthur Hill started off with a rush and kept up the paee all through the game. Our line and backfield worked togeih- er in fine shape, which resulted in such a large seore. A. H. H. S. 6—MASON30. Self-confidenece was the cause of our severe drubbing from Mason. We thought that we could romp all over the Zarmer boys, but alas, look at the score. Our only score was the resuit of a few minute’s effort by both the line and the backfield. The lone score was made by Smith. After that we weren’t in it. Mason had the ball in their possession most of the time. A. H. H. S., 13—MT. PLEASANT INDIANS 0 Oet. 9, 1915—After knowing what a defeat meant, the boys settled down and thought they would play football. The defeat at Mason was a setback and made the boys work just that much hard- er for this Indian game. Our boys did not work any too hard after the first quarter, as the score should have been more than 13 to 0. A. H. H. 8, 10—ALPENA 6 Get. 16, 1915—The boys seemed confident of winning this game. We kicked off to Alpena, and after four downs, the ball went over and Arthur Hill had the ball on Alpena’s thirty-five yard line. After making first down once and trying the line for three downs, we found we had eight yards to go, so Benway dropped back to the thirty yard line and booted a drop kick over the goal ier three points. In the same quarter Alpena crossed our goal by a fluke, McPhee missed goal. We got our touchdown in the sec- ond cuarter by line ploughing and two forward passes, Smith car- rving the ball over and Benway kisking goal. Arthur Hill played Alpens off their feet in the last quarter. A. H. H. S., 33—Alma 6 Jet. 28, 1915—Everyone seemed to be playing his best in this game and when the close of the first half came, the score stood 19 to 0. Alma came back with a seare, and after seven minutes of play, completed a forward-pass for a distance of fifty yards. This made our boys sore, and they again began working hard and scon had the count up to thirty-three to Alma’s six. ; A. H. H. S., 19—BAY CITY EASTERN 0 ct. 30, 1915—Our boys went down to Bay City with one hundred rooters, who accompanied them, and who were there te help them win. Bay City seemed doubtful to how the game would turn out, but our boys seemed more confident than ever before. This game meant a great deal to Arthur Hill in the Valley cham- pionship. The first half ended with the score 13 to 0. During the second period Bay Ctiy played a little stronger than the first half, and held us to one touchdown, making the final score 19 to 0. A. H. H. S., 6—LANSING 7 Nov. 6, 1915—Lansing bunch outweighed us about eight pounds to the man. We played them off their feet in the first two minutes and scored a touchdown, Smith carrying the ball over Stickney missed a goal by a few inches. In the third quarter we were again on Lansings twenty-yard line and tried an end run, but Arthur Hill fumbled and Merchant, the colored half-back of Lan- sing’s team, scooped up the ball and ran eighty yards for a touch- down. The remainder of the game was about even on both siaes. Although Arthur Hill lost, it was the first defeat in football on Mer- rill Field. Lansing also being the only team to defeat us in base- ball, also on Merrill Field. A. H. H. 8. 33—FLINT 0 Noy. 13, 1915—The big Flint boys seemed to be giants along- side of our boys, and there seemed to be no chance for Arthur Hill the first few minutes, as Flint made three first downs and seemed to be on their way towards a touchdown. An intercepted forward pass gave us the ball, and we just held our own for the remainder of the first quarter. The change of goal gave us the wind, and in the second quarter we pushed over our first score, Jerome’s twenty- five yard run around making it possible for Britton to break through Flint’s line for eight yards and a touchdown. We scored in the third quarter. and had them on the run the rest of the game. A. H. H. S., 7—BAY CITY WESTERN 14 Nov. 20, 1915—Our boys were outweighed in the backfield. This is probably the cause of their defeat. The ground wa s cov- ered with mud and our speedy backs could not get started on end runs. Bay City’s two touchdowns came as the result of forward passes, as did most of their gains. Arthur Hills touchdown came from a forward pass to Naismyth, who made his first appearance this vear in this game. Benway, who was out of the game, treid to start this game. but had to retire after the first two plays, turning his injured ankle. A. H. H. 8., 34-SAGINAW 0. Nov. 25, 1915—The ‘‘Big Game.’’ Having won in the last two years. we wanted to make it three wins in as many years. The larg- est erowd of the season is always present at this game, and when the whistle blew for the start of the final game, the crowd had al- ready numbered 5,226, the largest crowd ever turned out to see a Turkey Day game. Saginaw chose the west goal. Brooks kicked off to Weadock. On first play off end, Sehmidt fumbled, Naismyth recovering the ball. and on line plunging in five downs we pushed over our first touehdown, Captain Patterson going over and also goaling. Brooks kicked off and Weadock returned it to his thirty-five yard line. Arthur Hill punted. Exehange of punts resulted, and finally W. Richter. who replaced Jerome at halfback, circled right end for a s-eord touchdown. Patterson goaled. First half: A. H. H. S. 14, Saignaw 0. In the third quarter Brooks blocked one of Buetow’s punts, Smith showed his speed and shot through guard twice for fifteen- yard gains. A series of line bucks brought the ball where Smith earried it over, Patterson goaling. Ellithorpe rand thirty yards for the next touchdown. Captain Patterson again kicked goal, making eount 28 to 0.. The third quarter ended with the ball in Arthur Hill’s possession on the twenty-yard line. They changed goals. and on seven plays Arthur Hill again pushed the ball over, Smith making the touchdown. In the last twelve minutes of play, Tessin sent in substitutes, Clark, Benway, Spanlding, Schemm, Graham, Weedfall. Although the score was not expected to be so high, Arthur Hill rooters expected a victory. THE RECORD FOR 1915 ALS Hi.

HIS QUALIFICATIONS “ So,’’ said the old general, ‘‘you think you would make a good valet for an old wreck like me, do you? I have a glass eyey a wooden leg and a wax arm that need looking after, not to men- tion false teeth, and so forth.”’ “Oh, that’s all right, general,’’ replied the applicant entuhsi- astically. ‘‘I’ve had lots of experience. I worked six years in the assembling department of an automobile factory.’’ OVER THE TELEPHONE Have you got anything on tonight, Dora? Not a thing. Gee! I’ like to see you. The first Base Ball meeting was called about the third of April, just after the return from our spring vacation. Captain Brooks called this meeting so as to get the new men lined up as a number of positions needed to be replaced with new men. At this meeting it was announced that Mr. Bachmann, the teacher in Commercial work, would take charge of coaching the team. He and his boys knew that nothing but work stared them in the face as the first game came with Flint in two weeks, and to get a team in good working order in this short period of time, it meant real work. ““Make it brief and save space,’’ is our motto: R. B. The game with Flint turned out with good results as we wor by a score of 2 to 1 and the team with Brook’s pitching was work- ing fine. Our next encounter was with St. Louis, but as the weather would not permit play possible, the game was cancelled. By this time the team was rounding into fair shape and journeyed to Lansing the following Saturday and averted two successive de- feats of the years previous by beating them 9 to 1. Our next game was a defeat at the hands of Bay City Western and should have been another victory, had it not been for the poor fielding of the team we would have won, but as a reverse our expectations we lost by a count of 3 to 1. With this defeat of a valley game in mind, we journeyed to Flint the next week and again trounced Flint, this time 6 to 0. Alma, whom we have beaten three successive years Was our next opponent and came to Saginaw with intentions of win- ning this game as they were claiming state championship. To their surprise they found it altogether different and as to the final out- come of the game they lost by a 7 to 0 score. This game was ex4 ceptionally featured by Brooks’ pitching, as in this game he suc- ceeded in allowing no hits and no runs, this being his fisrt game of that class. The next and most feared opponent of all, was Saginaw, whom Brook’s set down with no hits also, but as a result on his own part in the first inning, he allowed Saginaw to score their only run of the game. Arthur Hill hit freely in this game and with Beutow’s erratic pitching succeeded in piling up six scores, and also making Saginaw take a defeat of 6 to 1. This game gave Brooks two no- hit games in suecession which is believed to be a record. We next. met Bay City Western the Saturday after we had copped the Val- ley Track Meet. In this game we had a defeat to avenge and at the same time had to win this game to keep up in the Valley race for championship. Well, we did it and sent Coach Morris’ bunch of Poles, as we termed it home with a 3 to 0 defeat to carry with them. The season was drawing near its close and our last game and deciding championship game was with Saginaw. The winners of this game really would be positive of copping the Valley Champion- ship in Base Ball. Well, we met in a desperate clash at Merrill Field and with the biggest crowd of the season present, we succeeded in downing our likeable opponents by a score of 4 to 1. Now as tha space is limited we will not dwell on this game very long, althougl we could write on it a long, long time and as the old saying is, ‘‘rub it in’? we will not, as it would make the East Side boys feel very badly. This game gave us the Valley Championship in Base Ball and with a tie for Champsionship in Foot Fall, and also Champions of Valley in Track we are surely well represented and fully as well supplied with championships. Now we must toss a flower to our Captain, Earl Brooks for pitching such airtight ball all season as his record proves it. Brooks has a very unique record, in the eight games he has pitched he has struck out 122 men, allowed seven runs and let his oppon- ents down with fourteen hits. The other members are all worthy of being mentioned and have played their respective positions in a satisfactory manner, they are as follows: Stickney, first year at the catching job; Barrett, second year at first base; MacVicker, first year at second base; Watkins third year, playing second two years and short this year; Curtis Graham, first year at third base; Weed- fall, second year at left field; Alderton, second year at center field - Kundinger, first year at right field; Moore, W. Graham and Britton as utility men. ; To the coach, Harold Bachmann, who has given all the time he possibly could in trying to develop a good team, which he has done successfully, we must give our thanks. Mr. Bachmann is a student of Ypsilanti Normal and deserves the credit of the team’s success. This season was exceptionally successful, the team’s record: WwW UG Pet.

OWEN’S WALK-OVER BOOT SHOP “THE SHOP AHEAD” 322 GENESEE AVE, THE AVERAGE STUDENT Some time ago, the spirit of success visited the Arthur Hill High School. In the hall with an armful of books, he met the aver- age student going home after the day’s work. ‘‘Good Morrow, Average Student,’’ said the Spirit, ‘‘why so downeast and. dis- heartened?”’ ““You’d be too, if you were in my shoes,’’ muttered Average Student. ‘‘I work like a tropper and yet don’t seem to get any- where, and some of those fellows get their work without turning a hand. What’s the use anyway?’’ “The lead you have is all wrong, Average Student, replied the ‘Spirit of Suecess, cheerfully,’’ you have not yet learned the truth about work. Let me show you by a story. They lift the building of success and slowly walked along the street, while the Spirit of Success to the story. ‘Once there were in the School of Life two boys. children of the same father. They went to school together and while one was brilliant and admired by all, the other could barely keep in sight of him with the hardest work. Finally the examinations came and they were brought into the presence of the Great. Teacher, Experi- ence, where the brilliant brother was given a low place and + hard working boy was placed before all.’’ “Tt mean’t this,’’ continued the Spirit, ‘‘An oak takes a hund- red years to mature but the scraggiest, meanest weed can develop a gaudy flower overnight. The one is produeing slowly sturdy roots to withstand the storms of adversity while the other is broken by the shghtest winds, cheer up, Average Student; though you are not appreciated now. you will stand before the onslaugh of trial. And comfort yourself: after your brilliant brother is gone, you by vour pereseverance will gain the inmost court of my palace.’’ So speaking, the Spirit of Suecess vanished. The Average Student took comfort in the words of the Spirit and worked on with his greater goal in view.
