LANGE, Pr This Legenda is respectfully dedicated to our Friend and Teacher Herman C. Lange PHILIPP HUBER, Superintendent R. PHILIPP HUBER, Superintendent of Schools of Union School District, comprising the City of Saginaw, West Side, is a product of the best educational systems 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 which 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, recognizing 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 advanced 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 incumbency 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 modern improve- ments and structures, as well as into the large educational work of the district, the energies and judgment 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. MR. LANGE .

Flint Coach: “Ten cents—why in Flint you can telephone to I!ades for ten cents.” Central sweetly; “But this is a long distance call you're making.” The Spy A SHORT STORY HE inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine were grief stricken. They T had just received the command from the German government that the sons, husbands, and fathers were to march away to fight against their beloved France and to fight for the hated Ger- man Government. But even if they had to fight against France, their hearts would be always with her, for the heart of every Frenchman is always loyal to the mother country. Among all the families of Alsace-Lorraine, there was none so loyal, or so ambitious for France, as the wealthy Reymand family. During the long years that had rolled away, they had never for- gotten the treatment of Germany to France, and although they had to obey the German law, France was always in their hearts. The two Reymand boys were big, strong, and hearty, just old enough to go to war. Their mother was a widow, always brave and anxious for her children. And then there was Audrie, the boys’ only sister, dark, pretty, and petit ike moiselle. The boys always remarked about. her, “She’s the bravest and most daring little Germany hater in all Alsace.” So at last when the call came that meant they had to fight, they went with a pang in their hearts, for they knew they could not fight against France, and they would be called traitors by Germany. But down in their hearts was the comforting little remark that Audrie made, “I shall do our duty to France for you.” Weeks passed before Mrs. Reymand and Audrie heard any- thing from the boys and they were getting anxious. At last the dre aded message came; they had been accused and found guilty of treason and were to be shot in a few days. The boys had joined a French secret service society and were trying to do their duty to France, but in the act were found out. Grief-stricken, Mrs. Rey- niond lay in bed for days, until her strength gave out and the doctor gave up all hopes of her getting up again. It was then that Audrie, knowing that hes mother could not live, vowed vengeance on the country that had always been unfair and whose greediness had raade it a country hated by all peace-loving people. Four days later Mrs. Reymond was laid beside her husband, ‘free from the grief, worry, and care of this heart rending war. Audrie was left alone with the big estate to look after, After weeks of loneliness and despair, she decided it was about time to act for her country. One night while sitting before the fireplace, in a dreamy mood, she hit upon a plan. John Von Him- melspack, an officer in the German cavalry, was paying marked attention to Marie, her private secretary and companion, a pretty blonde girl. Himmelspack’s company had been camping on grounds near the chateau, awaiting orders from the General. The officer had been coming every evening to see Marie. Audrie had not approved of it, so Marie had been meeting him in secret lately. 3ut Audrie had learned of it through Constance, the cook. Aud- rie’s plan was this; to tell Marie that if Himmelspack wanted to come to see her, she must invite him into the salon, and to entertain him there; and then she, Audrie, would watch him in secret, for surely thought she, he must know or have something about him, that would be valuable for the French government. So it came to pass that after Marie’s invitation, Himmelspack became more interested in Marie than ever, even so much as telling her little war secrets, that Audrie, always near, listened to eagerly. One night he came in a more careless mood than ever, and was so infatuated with Marie’s little flirtations, that he burst out, without thinking of the danger, never dreaming that Audrie was listening behind the draperies, “Mademoiselle, | love you, very much. [| have secret papers in my pocket, to take immediately tonight, to the General at Berlin. I'll be gone four days, and I assure you, darling, they will be long ones to me. I will come back soon to you, little Mademoiselle, so wait for me.” This was the best piece of news that Audrie could have heard, just now. But what was that, that he was speaking of now? ‘They are very, very valuable to the German government and if they ever got into the hands of the French, it would be au revoir to most of the best German war plans.” So Himmelspack had secret papers that would be very valuable to France. It was her duty to get them—but how ? Quickly she went to her bed-room and began laying out a plan. He always stayed until ten-thirty. It was five minutes after ten now. “T have just twenty-five minutes to get those papers in,’ she sighed, “what shall I do?” A clever idea came into her head at that instant. Drug him! that’s what she could do. But first she must disguise herself. Quickly she ran to her brother’s room and taking a suit of clothes, she put them on over her own clothes. Pulling his hat down tight over her head, she went back to her room and got a small bottle of chloroform out of the medicine closet. Then putting a large handkerchief and a small pistol into her pocket, she climbed out of her bedroom window and on the trellis to the garden below. It was pitch dark out. The servants had done their work and retired, so there was but little light in the chateau. Audrie ran down the long avenue, lined with trees, until she got to the high entrance gate. She then concealed herself in the bushes, beside the gate, and waited. She was positive that he would come out this gate, for his horse, which would carry him to T———, a small railway center, was tied outside. It seemed to Audrie that she had waited hours, before she heard a sound, and then quickly grasping her pistol, she waited. Sure enough. He was coming, for she could tell his military step. Just as Himmelspack got to the gate, he was surprised and very angry to find a man standing directly in front of him, with a pistol pointing towards his heart, and hearing a gruff voice telling him, to throw up his arms. He was reluctant to do so, but he knew that voice meant business, so, disgusted with himself he put up his arms. And then with an exclamation of horror, he saw the man take the sealed orders. He saw the man put those very papers in his own coat pocket, those papers which meant so much for his country. In making an effort to regain the papers, he was shot at and in his fright fell over, thinking he was hurt. Then before he had time to regain his senses, he felt smothered and choked by some ill-smelling stuff on a handkerchief, held over his nose. In a few seconds he was lost to the world, for about eight hours. After Audrie had safely secured the papers and had dragged Himmelspack into the bushes out of sight, she ran back to the chateau. Taking off her brother’s clothes, she put them back where she had found them, and burned the handkerchief in the grate. Then taking a small leather bag, she hastily sewed the papers on the inside of the lining, and then she filled the bag with some clothes, took some money, put on her travelling clothes, and rang for the chauffeur. She told the chauffeur to get the car ready, to take her to H There she would catch the train. The minute the car was ready, she jumped in, and was soon speeding down the highway towards H After being searched at H , she bought a ticket for Rowen. It was seven hours before they reached the last stop, before reaching town, which was the last stop, before cross- ing the border. Five minutes after arriving at the town, Audrie was horrified to learn, from a young American, sitting in front of her, that the train had been ordered to be held there, and for the people to be strictly watched, until the officials gave them orders to go on. It had been rumored that some very valuable German papers had been stolen, and that the government had. been all upset, at having lost them. Audrie turned deathly white. The young man, who said his name was William E, Carmen, jumped up and went off, but in a few minutes he returned, with a glass of water. The color rose quickly to Audrie’s cheeks as she prettily thanked the American. Mr. Carmen was immediately interested in her. After he had gained Audrie’s confidence, she told him in English in low whispers, what had made her so faint a moment before. After she had told him her story, he assured her that she had done right, that she was a bully girl, and that he would help her get out of the country. He told her they had only six and one-half miles before they would get to the border, “Mademoiselle,” said he, “if you think you can walk those six and one-half miles tonight, I will try and get you over the border, where you will be perfectly safe,’ and as he talked he became infatuated with her beauty. “Anything, Mr. Carmen,’ she an- swered in quaint English, “to get over the border.” That night about two-thirty, a young man and a girl were run- nig towards the border line. Just as they ‘were within a short distance from the border dividing line they heard a gruff voice call, “Halt! who goes there?” With exclamations of surprise, Audrie and Billy Carmen found that they had stumbled into a German out-post. Billy told Audrie to go up and speak to the sentry, and he would sneak around behind him and finish him up. Audrie flashed Billy a glorious smile and with a confident toss of her head answered, “A friend,” to the sentry’s query, in German. She walked up to him and started talking. All at once out of the darkness, she saw a black figure, crawling towards them. Flirting a little with the sentry, she made him forget his surroundings, until too late, he reeled to the ground, knocked senseless, with a blow on the head. Then Audrie and Billy ran on and on, hearing in the distance the shouting of the men, who were searching for them. They reached the border and crossed it with a sigh of relief. They were victorious. ‘On reaching a French out-post, they told their story and were conducted safely to headquarters, where they delivered in person, the papers to the French General. ‘Two days later Audrie received the French Legion of Honor to women, the highest award that could have been given to her except one. What other award could she be given? Why, to be Mrs. William E. Carmen, of course. Dorothy Spaulding 19 For the Zoo. The sergeant was taking names. “Your name,” he snapped to the first. “Hox? “Next!” “Bhaer.” He shifted and glanced at the third. “Wolfe,” said the recruit. “Campbell,” said the fourth and when the last answered “Lyon” he threw down his pen and roared to a private, ‘“Go order some cages built.” Funny: “Yes, right after the clams we had snail soup.” Man: “We never eat snails in Bay City.” Funny: “There’s nobody in Bay City could c atch a snail.” Man: Exit.

Exterior of Canoe Club Appear on scene the dignified classes of 1916 and 1917. They enter Canoe Club to enjoy the annual “J” banquet. From within is heard “Who is she, Bach?” Appear on scene conspirators of classes of 1918 and 1919 and some other uninvited guests from classes ranging from 1910 to 1925, togged in armor of war. Darkness slowly steals over the face of Mother Earth and an unsuccessiul attempt to smuggle out the horn results in no lights for some moments, Enter club, one alumnus with special. permission to dance. A moment later, exit from club, same alumus with horn, having betrayed his trust. Ah, the plot thickens! Hands horn to another alumnus, who immediately runs and disappears into the darkness ; and so does the horn. Curtain Scene 5. Linwood Beach. (Senior Return.) Enter boys in bathing suits. Doesn't June Richter look just exactly like Rosco Arbuckle, huh? Boys dive into water (right). Bay rises three inches when Brown goes in. Enter girls (left to watch; too bashful to play Annette Keller- man). Boys recede from water and the Bay again returns to normal depth, but not normal color. Everyone. makes a mad rush for the eats. The afternoon entertainment consists in watching Hon. W. Earl Brooks and Hon. David H. Stickney splashing water on their friends, and incidently trying to row. Dusk falls and no light in the dance hall except that furnished hy lanterns. “Looka here, you guys, keep out of those dark corners, and give someone else a chance.” We have some time on the car coming home, “Oh yes, look at that McKay boy sticking the cards in his trousers cuff. Take them out Lyle and try harder to play fair.” Curtain Part IV. SENIOR Scene I. Enter the quartette of class officers singing “Die Wacht am Rhine,” into the Senior room tastefully decorated with wiener- wursts and sauerkraut. Enter chorus of eleven football men, lead by Captain Jack with one-half the Valley cup before them; chorus of five in basketball suits, lead by Captain Brooks, with a vision of the Valley cup before them (well, do not laugh, we at least had a vision) ; chorus of nine in baseball togs, holding, well we hope they hold it again, of course we do not want a monopoly but it looks as good here as anywhere else; and a chorus of twelve, lead by Captain Karl with the new Valley cup safely tucked under their arms. Lo, and behold! Here comes the Senior Class team with the Siebel Cup after being runner-up, every year heretofore. Enter Howard Moore singing, a parody, which is a cross between, “Why I Spend My Nights in Zilwaukee,” and, “When You Know You’re Not Forgotten by the Girl You Got For Nottin.” Enter Miss Clemens starting to dictate a letter, “Gentlemen,” George Alderton and Karl Kanzler, in chorus, “Present.” Curtain Scene 2 Time: The night of the football banquet. Place: The front of a tin shop in Gratiot Ave. Enter the three witches chanting: “Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble.’ Exit Pass over stage, fellows, on way home from football banquet, shouting joyously. Enter Anysenior and his brother, Anysenior diligently labors at the front door while his brother keeps close watch. Anysenior noiselessly opens the door after much diligent labor and enters. Brother spends a few minutes of watchful waiting. Return Anysenior, hurriedly, just as a police- man comes around the corner. Anysenior, starting off, “Now it’s this way, chronolc ogically speaking g, if a lateral quadrant——” ‘To policeman, “Good evening, sir. “THello, boys.” (Jovially.) Exit Anysenior and his brother rather hurriedly. Enter from open door in his pajamas, an old man. Policeman: “Here, what’s the trouble? Old man: “Well, I don’t know. I heard a noise, got up and found the door open. I'll bet it was those Seniors after their horn.” Policeman: “Prob’bly that’s who it was.” Curtain Scene 3 Time: Ten o'clock of an evening in early March. Place: Exterior of our well- belov ed school, Court Street. Cautiously an upper window is opened and noiselessly a 1917 pennant is thrust through and the window is again closed. Enter passerby who enjoys extremely the gorgeous spectacle. The darkness fades away; another day has come to welcome the hearts of the glad Seniors. The window is uncautiously opened, the banner jerked down, and the window is closed with a bang! Enter Anysenior: “Well, [ don’t know who done it, but some- body did.” Postlude Time: Graduation night. Place: - Teutonia. There is a boy who in school ever worked, There is a boy who from school never shirked, There is a boy who on the athletic field, Obtained some scars which have not healed. There is the girl who has helped them along, In work, in jest, in jollity, and song, There are the girls who will make good wives, And help them to lead clean, healthful lives. Now is the time they meet with the world, Are cast out and upon its surface whirled, Now is the time they must make a good fight, And struggle and struggle with all ‘of their might. Kanzler. One night an old sergeant was doing “a bit of snooping” in no man’s land, between the trenches, when a recruit sentry spied j , J him and called out: “Halt! Who goes there?” “ec = ’ ’ Shut your bloomin’ mouth or [’ll come over and knock your bally head off,” replied the exasperated veteran. “Pass friend,” said the sentry promptly, Philomathic Notes E have just ended the fifth year of our activities. Every W year we grow stronger and this year has been no exception. Early in October, we held our first meeting, elected officers for the ensuing semester, and began our year’s work. A large number of new members joined our ranks at this time and many more would have done so had there been room for them. During the year twelve meetings were held, all of which proved enjoyable and educational. Provided with a strong program committee, headed by Wanda Sims, the Society was able to show its true worth at each meeting. Albert Wettlaufer, Vice-President, George Strimbeck, Secrteary, and Arthur Rice, Treasurer,,completed our corps of officers for the first semester. In February, another election was held. For the first time in the history of the Society, our president was re-elected. George Strimbeck, Vice-President ; George Borrows, Treasurer; and Albert Schweierz, Secretary ; were elected for the other officers. In April the fruit of our year’s labor was reaped. We sent two teams into the Valley Inter-scholastic Debate. The affirma- tive led by Arthur Rice and supported by George Strimbeck and Beecher Smith, debated Bay City Eastern here, winning a 3 to 0 decision, on the subject, “Resolved: that the Government should own and operate the inter-state railroads.” The negative led by Emmet © . Davis, and ably supported by George Burrows and Merrill Case, journeyed to Flint, losing there, by a 2 to 1 vote. Ve were not disheartened over our defeat at Flint by any means, however, and we claim the Valley Championship, on the grounds that we received four out of six votes, a unanimous affirmative and 4 2 to 1 negative. This gives us a better score than any other school in the meet. During the last four years we have represented Arthur Hill in seven inter-scholastic debates and we have won five of these seven. Our annual Banquet, on May 25, 1917, will close a year full of many happy events and the year 1917 will be remembered by all the Society as one of the best we have had. Emmett O.

Passing his hand over his forehead, the wearied drill sergeant paused for breath and pointed a scornful finger at the knock-kneed recruit. “No,” he declared, “you're hopeless.

It was organized in Oct. 1912, by Marion Whitney and Miss Morgan for the purpose cf furthering the acquaintance of the girls and encouraging a stronger school spirit. Since the organization the club has been successfully directed by Miss Morgan and Miss Wells and with their kind help the girls have carried out the object for which the club was organized. The enrollment this year has exceeded that of any in the past history of the club, being one hundred and sixty. On September 28, 1916, a meeting was held in the ninth grade session room for Freshmen only. The object was to enroll new members in the club. Miss Schneider gave an interesting talk on the object of the meeting and Miss Morgan talked on what the club had accomplished in the past year. At this meeting the new rule was explained, that only girls who were members could attend any entertainment given by the club. On October 11, 1916, the first meeting of the club was held in the ninth grade session room for the purpose of electing officers. ‘Those elected were: Teresi enema rene sehen gs omack tm toes Edna Schneider Scctetanywamds Uteastineian se ener Marie Noel Faculty Advisors..Miss Morgan and Miss Wells Advisory Board SOUCY Gg gene Serr aoe ee Clara Oliver A iebaliogrche ee re ene cts Bo eiay Phyllis Stearns SO MMOMTOne Sig a crake eae .. Ernestine Boles Freshmen. 25.2.5 Norma Strong, Kathryn Cobb Dorothy Eggert The officers of the club immediately got busy on October 30, 1916, a Hallowe’en Party was given. All of the girls were there and most of the boys. (The boys were on the outside look- ing in). The girls were received by a ghost, who extended to them a wet chamois glove with which they had to shake hands. The hall was attractively decorated with yellow and black crepe paper, corn and pumpkins. As the girls entered the hall each one had her fortune told by a witch. Then came the bobbing for apples and the peanut race. When all had arrived two ghosts conducted the girls to “Goblin Land.” Of all horrors! We were conducted along narrow passages which suddenly ended in another large room. Here a ghost, who resembled Miss Morgan, told stories about remarkable men and passed eyes, hair and flesh of these remarkable men. Before we could leave ‘Goblin Land” we had to wash our hands in a basin that seemed full of worms, but which proved to be only a basin of innocent macaroni. On our return upstairs we sat in a circle on the floor. The lights were turned out (remember the boys were on the outside) and something was lighted in a kettle, which threw a ghastly green light over every- thing. Ghost stories were told and spooky poems recited. Last but not least, refreshments were served and we all went home tired but happy. On January 19, 1917 the Girls’ Club entertained the Boys’ Club of the High School at a dancing party given at the Social Hall. Dancing was enjoyed from 8 to 10:30. Refreshments were then served. The evening had been quite enjoyably spent in spite of the fact that many of the boys hovered around the piano as do moths about a light ona June night. But the party was a financial success and the underclassmen became better acquainted with the rest of the students, thus greatly fulfilling the object of the club. On February 9, 1917, the Club gave a Heart Party. This was a success indeed. The party was given to entertain the fellows who couldn’t dance and was given at the Social Hall. Tables had been attractively placed about the hall and each one was numbered. As the guests came, each one was presented with a tally card, whereby he found his partner and table Progressive Hearts was played while music was enjoyed. Then refreshments were served after which prizes were awarded. Various and interesting games were enjoyed until the party broke up. This was one of the most successful of the year and all who came certainly had a most enjoy- able time. The Club had expected to have one or two more parties before the end of the year, but the officers are so fatigued from the strenuous work of the other parties, that the Club has requested them to rest their weary bones. Curtain, “When’s this bloomin’ war goin’ to end?” asked one north- country lad. “Dunno,” replied one of the south-shires. “We've planted some daffydils in front of our trench.” “Bloomin’ optimists!” snorted the man from the north. “We've planted acorns!” Buckel’s mother to busy grocer: “Five cents worth of animal crackers, and will you please leave out the elephants.

A large crowd was present and the hall was decorated in ee and green, the class colors. We were a little late in getting started but we gave our antiual play in February, at the Teutonia Hall. The play was a farce- comedy entitled “A College Town.” The play dealt with the interesting situation in which James Cavendish, a college good fellow, finds himself after a night of fun. He had gotten himself in trouble with the professor's wife and in order to get out of it claims he spent the evening with his aunt. He has several of his friends impersonate his aunt, each unknown to the other. The real aunt arrives from New York and James falls in love with his landlady’s niece, Miss Channing, from South Carolina. At a faculty. dinner, given in honor of Jimmie’s aunt, Major Kilpepper makes love to Thad Cheseldine, disguised as Jame’s aunt. The next day is the big Thanksgiving Day football game.

We, the Freshmen of 1920, gave a dance at the Social Hall on February second. Very pretty decorations were used and we are glad to say that this dance was the most successful dance given by the Freshmen classes. A large turn out was enjoyed for Football. From the Fresh- men class, those receiving “Rs” were Cleveland, Lorenzen, Lee, Russel and Manquitz, and all starred for the second team. John Russel was the only Freshman to turn out for Basketball. Owing to the fact that the Freshmen beat the Sophomores in basketball, and the Juniors beating the Seniors, the Freshmen and juniors were to play, but the Juniors didn’t show up so the banner was forfeited to the Freshmen, and is now hanging up in the Freshmen room, and they hope to keep it with them throughout their high school career. Track representatives of this class were Russel, Lee, Lorenzen and Cleveland. Our big Lester Smith is representing us on the Baseball field this season, and we hope he keeps it up so he will receive a letter. Our final dance was held in Social Hall, May 26th, and it was a blooming success, and we want to end our speech by thanking you for your school spirit shown at this dance.

Davis Merrill Case Miss Nash, Coach Rose O’' Plymouth Town Football The first eall for candidates was issued one week before the start of school by Captain Jack and Coach Tessin. The candidates were not long in putting in their appearance, and the prospects for a successful season were indeed very prom- ising. The line did not present a very difficult proposition for solution with the veterans, Buckel, Richter, Brooks, and Stick- ney as a nucleus. Alderton and Bauer, utility men of last year, stepped into harness along with Felix Smith, the husky Parma lad, to fill the only position left. O ur backfield prob- lem seemed a trifle more difficult to solve, for although there was plenty of material with sufficient experience, they all appeared to be on the light side as compared with Captain Jack. Graebner, Ole Olsen, Schemm, Bill Graham, and Hart were the most promising looking of the lot. Hlmer Spaulding, a veteran line-man, took very kindly to the position of plung- ing full-back, and soon there was a working combination in evidence, The long hard grind of the excessively warm weath- er brought the true mettle of the fellows to the surface, and to open the season we hit Lapeer’s line with a drive and smash that is characteristic of the old Blue and Gold. ee bo Tt BB. Lapeer 0. Lapeer evidently had not forgotten the game last year. They were prepared or US, but our fellows were determined and would not be denied. Nearly all the men got into the fracas, and Emil had something to base lis beliefs upon. Graham, Britton, Graebner, and Olsen tore up and down the field at will. Our ends, Stikney, Barrett, and Bauer were very active in getting away with several nice passes. Aer Elst. 3.00. Mason 0). Ah-h-hh, revenge! That’s the way the fellows expressed it. Our boys had undergone their baptism of fire and would not be denied revenge. Mason must be complimented, for they fought gamely at all stages of the game. Mason’s cap- tain played a very commendable game, A'gain our line was like a stone wall, for it threw back all of Mason’s futile at- tempt to pierce it. Whenever our backs felt particularly blood-thirsty, they quenched their thirst by plunging through the line and around for another score. Elmer Spaulding made his debut in the role of full-back and proved equal to all occasions. A. oH. EH. S; 19: Mt. Pleasant Indians 6. Mt. Pleasant had given Grand Rapids Union a stinging defeat cn Union’s own field. It looked like a mighty tough battle on foreign soil. It was all of that. ‘‘ Big Sam’’ Ascher proved a veritable whirlwind on both offense and de- fense. The score does not show the game in the true light, for time after time, Britton, Graebner, Olsen, Spaulding, and Graham carried the ball to the very goal line only to lose it by some fluke. Buckle and Smith particularly were active in breaking through and mussing up plays. The Indians played their usual clean, hard game. AL cHe Be. S60! Alpena 0. The team from Thunder Bay was a mystery to us, for we had heard nothing of their strength, but nevertheless we ex- pected a scrappy game The Alpena team came on the field outweighed by our sturdy line and they found it impossible to do anything in the way of straight football. Fitzpatrick, as usual, had some tricks in his hat that gave our team some real Surprises at times. We scored in the first four minutes, and did not experience much trouble thereafter in pushing’ across the goal line. The team so far this season had produced a point a min- ute, which is considered to be very good football for a high school team. AvcH, JE BS. 20: Alma 0. The game at Alma did not turn out as many of our well- wishing supporters would have it. The rooters had tasted blood so much this season that they were disappointed when we returned from Alma with a meager 20-point victory. The game was a very short one, the halves being cut down and the fray was over before we realized that it had started. At the start, and in fact throughout the game, our backs ripped big holes in their opponents’ offense, but we had a habit of losing the ball just when we were within striking dis- tance. Campbell proved to be Alma’s only bright light in this game. Brooks, Spaulding and Buckle were Arthur Hill’s mainstays. It must be said that the officials in this game could not be classed among the most competent men for han- dling a football game. A, HH... 51. Bay City Eastern 0. Our first Valley game! We were now on the last grind of the season and the men were anxious for the fray. Smith and Spaulding, two of our best men, were beset with cholas- tic difficulties in this game and could not play. Ole Olsen stepped into Elm’s shoes and displayed some real football in every branch of the game. In this game we had a touchdown in the first three minutes of play, but slowed up somewhat in the middle of the game. In the second half Schemm opened up with a veritable whirlwind of passes—long, short and lateral, that completely bewildered EKastern’s secondary de- fense. Bill Graham staged a spectactilar feat when he snatched a pass in mid-field during the last minute of play and charged through the whole Eastern team for a touch- down, falling across the goal just as the whistle trilled for the end. Rutzen and Moulthrop were the only men for Hast- ern who displayed anything out of the ordinary. A. HH: §, 0, Lansing 9, The team went to Lansing with high hopes of bringing home the bacon and returned on the naught side of the score. We had gained twice as much ground as Lansing and had presented a defense that stood up at all times against the on- slaught of their weighty backs. The personal grudge of a referee surely did make a great difference as to just where that state title was to rest this year. Richter, Buekel, and Smith in the line threw back the Lansing backs who the week before had ground Grand Rapids’ Central line to bits. Bar- rett took care of the speedy colored back, Merchant, in this game and caused him to be thrown for a loss nearly every time he started around end. Dave Stickney, in the role of half back for the first time, played the game of lis life. Our team played a strong, steady game which was proved by the fact that the Lansing bunch was in splints for the next week, Flint 7. IG Alo elghsss JES). Flint was our next opponent and we came on the field confident of winning the game. We plunged immediately to the goal line and tried for a field goal, Richter kicking. Blanchard, the speedy Flint quarter, staged what is some- times classified as a bone-head trick. When the kick failed, he snatched up the ball in the crowd around the goal line an broke away for a touchdown. At this moment Br ooks, the big tackle, was injected into the game. Elmer now filled his reg ular position as full back and immediately things began fo happen. The second half the boys came back strongly and literally smashed the Flint defense to pieces Olsen, our plucky little half-back, play ed a stellar game along side the other bright lights— Brooks, Richter, and Spaul- ding. Britton showed some nice interference e work in this game on our tandem formation. Port Huron 0. UNa dale lale tet dk Port Huron was desirous of seeing Michigan play and consequently forfeited to us. Western 0. A. H. HS, 25. It was a rough, frozen gridiron that our team trotted on to down at Western and the uneven, corrugated field caused many minor injuries to the players. We were to test our strength for the Turkey Day game, and with four hundred loy- al supporters on the side lines as spectators the denfenders of the Blue and Gold gave great promise of things on the fol- lowing Thursday. Our diminutive quarter-hac k, Schemm, out-witted Pacyneski when he sent Ole Olsen around his end for the first touchdown in the first few minutes of play. Graham and Bauer, our ends, tackled the Bay City receiver of punts so hard that’ time after time he dropped the ball, only to have one our our ends recover it for a good gain. Our ends played a creditable game indeed. Barrett, ei had been out for three weeks with a broken nose, gave further proof that a Jinx was cn his trail when he sustained a wrenched shoulder and had to be taken from the fray. In this game our fake plays worked to perfection. The last few minutes we played in the gathering dusk which necessitated time being called early. Even the 8. H. 8. men on the side lines admitted that we had beaten the Cow-boys. A. H. HS. 0. Saginaw 0. m Che scene was set and the audience of 6,000 people was ar- rayed in the colors of the contesting teams and huddled joy- fully, awaiting the appearance of the rival elevens. The Blue and Gold warriors trotted onto the field, led by Captain Jack, and ran through signals amid thundering of the stands that hailed them with lusty yells. For three years we had beaten them and true blue was to tell again. The whistle shrilled across the whitestriped field, and the ball, booted by Buetow, sailed outside, opposite half-back Stickney. Again silence reigned while Schemm gathered in the oval and start- ed for the goal. The first quarter was distinctly a punting duel between the All-Valley tackles Buetow and Brooks; with Brooks having a good deal the better of the argument. Brooks many times swept around end for neat gains, but we lost ground off tackle. The center of the line proved vulnerable during the entire game and Elm swept through for nice gains behind the huskies, Richter and Buckel. We were once in this period cn Saginaw’s seventeen yard stripe, but with wind and fate against us we were unable to score. The half ended with Arthur Hill having gained a great deal more ground than Saginaw, and it looked very much as though we were to score in the next period if we were to keep up the pace that had characterized the first half of the game. Miller tucked Brook’s long kick-off under his arm and was promptly downed in his tracks. About the middle of the third period in mid-field, Kelly snared one of Saginaw’s pass and nearly got away but Schemm stopped him short. The game now settled down to one of strict football for the heavy, slipper condition of the field was telling on both teams and little could be done in the way of end running. The two teams were near the enter cf the field, straining their strength to the utmost and doggedly determined, when the whistle sound- ed over the field. Silently under an already darkening sky, the crowds descended from the bleachers without a joyful ery of victory or a despondent tone of loss. Hach and all had seen a game that was fair and just to the utmost with two teams testing power that was so evenly mached that it was difficult indeed to make a choice. We had gained twice as much ground as Saginaw had, held Saginaw’s plunging backs, and had outpunted them, and all in all had outplayed them the entire game. In parting, we wish to say that Captain Graham and his comrades have a heavy season before them for 1917, but with the ‘‘Spirit of Arthur Hill’? predominating, they will surely emerge victors. The Class of 717 wishes the team success. Mr. Lange: “Send up twenty-five cents worth of boiled ham.” Mr. Huebner: “All right. Anything else?” Mr. Lange: “Yes. Ii my wife isn’t home, tell the boy to put it through the key-hole!” Boys’ Basket Ball prepared for the opening of the basketball season. Captain Brooks isued a call about the third week in December, and six veterans, including McKay, Brooks, Britton, Moore and Spauld- ing answered the call as did also a promising bunch of new- ccmers. The first game with Flint was a complete triumph for us as we scored twice as many points as the Flintites and showed some real class in the passing game. Saginaw was our next opponent, and the game proved to be a very interesting number on our schedule. We met them on their own floor and gave them the closest game of the season being beaten by a meager one-point margin. When the five minutes of overtime was up the score was 23-22 in Saginaw’s favor. The boys Pit up a game fight and stuck to the last second of time. Bay City Eastern, last year’s Valley champions, came to Saginaw with a highly praised team. Brooks and his teammates play ed consistently and in the closing minutes of play not even Adams with his lucky shots could beat our boys, for the game ended with our team in the lead by the score of 21 -26. Alpena, | as usual, proved to be a mystery as-to strength. Never- theless, on their own floor Arthur Hill gave them a real scare by coming so close to winning that there really was not a great deal of difference even though we were seriously handicapped by the largeness of the floor. After the Alpena trip the team came back to meet Bay City Western on our own floor. At no time did we A FTER the successful football season we had enjoyed we were seriously threaten to win from the Cowboys but they had to keep working to win by the score of 27-13. We knew that the down- river aggregation was to be heard from inboth Valley and state circles this year. We started the campaign of meting the Valley teams on their own floors by trimming Flint once more to the tune cf 24-17. Saginaw was the only team to play us on our own floor this half of the season and we were all set. MacGregor could not get away from those guards no matter how hard he might try and with him under cover we had it pretty easy although we had to keep going. This game proved that we had the edge on Saginaw and with the games split even we wanted another try at them ona neutral floor. The Six point advantage over Bay City Eastern did not quite cover the disadvantage of foreign territory and we were nosed out by the score of 28-22, when we journeyed to Bay City. Cass City was scheduled for the open date and seeing that they were state title claimants (?) we snowed them under and the only real race was to see whether or not Jack Britton could get more points than the whole Cass City team or not. We were all sucked up in the whirlwind even if we did have an eight point lead to start with. It melted away and Lentz took fiendish delight in snaring baskets. This gave Western the undisputed champion- ship of the Valley. The men were voted worthy of the trip to Ann Arbor to the state meet and consequently went down and found ourselves confronted with a stiff schedule. Galesburg was disposed of easily for they failed to put in their appearance and for the next item we had to go up against Detroit Central. The Cent- ral team were kept fighting every minute to keep our team down but we failed to ring up baskets consistently and were compelled to be satisfied with 38-13 score. We defeated Adrian easily, however, in a consolation game with a 11-8 score. Earl Brooks proved to be a rather popular lad with the Athletic Association down there and when we came upon the floor to play Saginaw we found “Terry” among those absent. Ona neutral floor with an excellent referee we gave the final proof to our argument that we had S. H. S. outclassed for we put them under the weather by the score ef 20-25. Earl Brooks, our captain, was in all but one game and lived up to his reputation throughout the season and with his reputation it was necessary for him to do some living. The veteran guards Moore and Britton were the best pair of guards in the Valley with- gut a doubt, as Britton was placed on all of the All-Valley teams and Moore was not far behind him. Giesel likewise stepped into Moore’s shoes at a critical time and filled them to the satisfaction of everyone. We were fortunate in having the three forwards McKay, Stickney and Bauer that might alternate without hindering the team work. During the entire season the team appeared to have more harmony on the floor than has been displayed in a good many years by any of our basketball teams. A host of veterans remain for next year’s team and they should do things up brown in the Valley next year and here’s to their success in state circles. “This,” said the goat, as he turned from the tomato can and began on the broken mirror with relish, “this is indeed food for reflection.” Girls’ Basket Ball NCE again the girls of the Arthur Hill High School. have organized a basketball team. It has been four years since the girls have taken part in Basketball activities. But this year, thanks to the good work of their coach, Miss Clemens, the Basketball activities were again started. The girls were unfortunate in getting a late start and were unable to do very much this year.. Most of the games played were inter-class games between the Seniors and the Sophomores. These games were good practice for the girls and lots of fun for all. The only outside games played were the Y. W. C. A. Bells and these brought us a defeat and a victory. Yows Ce Bellsw2. Jay dinky Vale Sk, 3 The girls of A. H. H. S. played their first outside game this season over at the Y. W. C. A. against the Y. W. C. A. Bell girls. The home team proved to be the victors. But the A. H. H. S. girls played with great vim and skill, making the game anything but an easy victory for the other team. Elsie Michalke, the cap- tain of the A. H. H. S. team was the star of the game, making all the points scored for them. Although the first outside game did not prove a success to the A. H. H. S. girls they were not dis- couraged but were very confident of winning the return game. YOWaCaA, Bells 2k iN pele dikeisiaee The return game, played at the Social Hall, proved to be one cf interest, as was shown by the enthusiasm of the large audience. The girls of both teams seemed to be very evenly matched, which made the first half of the game a see-saw affair and the half ended with the score 11 to 10 in favor of the visiting team. The second half the A. H. H. S. girls realized that it was time to get busy and do away with the see-saw work. They certainly did get right after their opponents. The result was a notable victory for the A. H. H. S. girls, as is easily seen from the score. The entire team played an excellent game which showed that they knew how to play. Elsie Michalke, was again the star, doing some very fine work and making baskets from distances that made the audience sit up and take notice. The other forward, Evelyn Elliott, also did excellent work. Although very little outside work was done this year, the girls have great hopes for a brilliant season next year. They have made up their minds that they will share honors with the boys in Basket- ball and bring home honors for their school, and judging from the improvement shown from practice to practice, they will succeed. Graduation will end the good work of four of the girls on the team but there will be three of the team left for next season. There are others, who owing to their faithful work at practice, will be ready to do their share in the work next year. With Miss Clemens for the coach and Elsie Michalske for the captain again next season, the girls’ Basketball team will no longer take a back seat.

Lady (to whom Stanley has given seat in car): “Thank you so much.” Stanley: “That's all right, since my youth I have always res- pected a female with a strap in her hand.” “Ever notice that Si Barrett uses both hands equally well?” - “Sure, he says his father always said: ‘Si, me boy, learn to cut your finger nails with your left hand, for some day you might lose your right hand,’ ” Ichabod Richter, interpreting Sir Andrew: “Bless thee, fair shoe.” Bet Iccy never had to use “Gets It.” Track S a preliminary affair to the opening of the track season, Cap- A tain Kanzler held the annual Inter-Class track meet in the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium. The Seniors easily defeated all the other contestants with Brooks, Kanzler, Doerfner, Kundinger, Barrett and Alderton as the guilty parties. The Juniors were led by Smith in points for he gave Brooks a close race for individual honors. The Class of “17” have the Siebel Cup safely stowed away for the rest of the year. When the call for out-of-door practice was issued about twelve candidates reported for a_ try-out. Brooks, Kanzler, Doerfner, Tallon and Lorenzen were all on hand with some rookies that looked fine and they promised the track fans something for which to look forward. There were no Track Meets arranged with the Valley school or with any schools for that matter, and it was a very tedious season for the boys turned out every night that the weather permitted. Doerfner and Kanzler should get away with the distance runs and the dashes respectively if the dope is right, which it seems to be at the present time. Brooks will win the weight events without trouble if he has no more trouble with a sore arm. ‘The date of the Valley should find all the men eligible and in good condition and if this is true we should experience no great difficulty in seizing the Valely banner again this year. Mr, Alderman of the Trade School has given unsparingly of his time in rounding the men into shape and to him a great deal of credit is due. He may feel assured that he has the hearty thanks of every supporter of the Blue and Gold. The Flashing Victory HE surging crowd of students that filled the old smoky station and packed the platform as the train drew in, was cheering for Stapleton, the captain of the Spokane Northern basketball team, Wells the manager of the team, collared Stapleton. ‘You've got to face the music old man,” he said laughingly. “You can’t duck. You've got to pay the penalty for shooting every basket and giving Lincoln the worst defeat they ever received.” Stapleton groaned resignedly. “All right, Roy,” he agreed, “only don’t drag me out like a criminal. I'll go peacefully.” One by one, the members of the victorious team were hailed with cheers as they appeared. At the sight of Stapleton, a mighty shout went up. The air was filled with waving banners, handker- chiefs, hands, and upflung hats and caps. Over and over they _ volleyed his name in chorus. In spite of his embarrassment and the fact that he would have given a great deal to escape, Stapleton was greatly moved. Out of the mass of humanity popped Bud Parks, leaping on the steps and grabbing his chum by the hand, “Some fine job, Lynn Stapleton!” he cried, his face aglow. “I'll be there with a bushel basketfull of spirit to see you slaughter our ancient enemy, Spo- kane Central, next Saturday.” “For mercy’s sake, Bud,” entreated Lynn, noting the attitude of the bunch of husky students at the foot of the steps, “don’t let ‘em pack me about on their shoulders. [ve got to see i But there was no escape. Before he could finish his sentence lke was being carried to Bud’s waiting motor car. Suddenly out of the crowd siipped a girl. She confronted the triumphal proces- sion. “TTalt!” she cried, “Captain Lynn, I come to the rescue,” “Goodnight!” exclaimed one of the students, “its Marjorie. Well fellows, I guess we will have to give Lynn up.” So Stapleton was hoisted from their shoulders and placed under the guardianship of Marjorie. With final instructions to “take good care of him,” off the pack of students went, cheering for their captain. “Oh Jack! I am just perfectly delighted over what you have done,” exclaimed Marjorie, “but come on, they are expecting us at the house.” “All right, you are boss,’ walk up the street. As they moved on, laughing and joking, a young man standing in a dark corner looked up, apparently unconcerned, as they passed. Then he stepped out on the sidewalk. “So Stapletpn thinks he owns the whole world now,” he said, sneeringly. “Wait, [ll fix him so he will never play another basketball game.” The speaker was Louie Lee, captain of the Spokane Central basketball team. He was a rival of Lynn’s and an admirer of Marjorie. Turning slowly, he shoved his hands deep into his trouser pockets and vowed vengeance on his hated rival. The teams spent the next week in hard practice, and by Saturday both were fit for the battle before them. More than four returned Lynn, as they started to hundred students made the walls of the “Y” ring with their yells of encouragement. Three hundred civilian spectators were there, and equally vociferous in their greetings to the high school teams when they entered. The two teams lined up and began practising shooting baskets. Finally the referee’s whistle blew. Northern got off to a flying start and made the first basket. The ball was put in play at center again. A thrill ran through the crowd as the rival centers jumped, Stapleton of Northern against Lee of Central. Lee timed his leap and free hand reach perfectly and knocked the ball in the direction of his own goal. Jones, Central’s forward, received the sphere immediately under the bas- ket and with accurate ease, scored second blood. “Hold ’em Northern!” came the beseeching from the rows of students. As the game progressed Central slowly gained the lead and Lee, making five phenomenal long shots, put his tem well ahead. Yet Stapleton, as confident as ever, was showing clever, scientific passing and accurate basket shooting. He encouraged his team mates and the game became fast and furious. Suddenly Parks, receiving the ball from Stapleton, quickly dropped it into the bas- ket. Then the old combination, Clark to Parks to Stapleton was put into operation and four baskets were shot in quick succession, making the score a tie. Then a quick succession of passing and dribbling found Staple- ton posed under the basket when the whistle blew. The team trotted off the floor amid a bedlam of yells. The referee’s whistle sounded again. The ball was tossed into the air. The centers leaped. In another jiffy the players of both teams were in action. The Central crowd shouted. Lee had the ball. Like a flash he shot it to Cray, left forward, who had come back for it;then he sprinted down the floor to cover the basket. Cray passed the ball to Jones, right forward who had crossed in front of the basket, after fooling Clark, right forward for Northern, by making a false start. He came down with a rush to help Jones, but his assistance was not needed. Jones looped a perfect goal, the ball dropping cleanly into the basket. Central made the rafters ring. The Northern crowd were silent, astounded, dismayed by the swiftness and ease with which the simple play had been executed. Again Central’s men went through the same performance and another basket rung up. “Wake up, you snails!’ bellowed a loud voice. “Come alive! Going to let them put that stuff over you? What are you here for anyway?” Then Northern came back and four baskets were rung up. Then a “forward cross guard” shift brought the ball to Stapleton, who dribbled down the floor. But suddenly some one tripped him and he staggered against Jones, knocking him flat. The referee’s whistle shrieked and Central got a free throw, and made it count. Lee was laughing, sneering. “And you're Stapleton, the famous center! How did you make the team? You never could play the game.” Had Stapleton been deaf he could not have paid less heed. Lee seemed to be trying his best “to get his goat.” The next play brought the ball to Stapleton again and he shot the next goal for his team, having outwitted Lee by clever foot- work, and quick thinking. Northern rooters greeted the perfor- ldance with a great cheer, 5 “Grand standers!” Lee cried mockingly, Then Central rallied and by a succession of plays shot three baskets, putting them in the lead by one point. Then on the next play they shot another, and on the following, one more. Northern rallied but to no avail. Basket after basket was added to Central’s score. Stapleton tried to rally his men but Central was playing them off their feet. But Northern had a team that rose to its highest pitch of excellence when hard pressed. It rose to the occasion now. The tide turned. Stapleton did more than his share. Five minutes were left to play, and Central was fourteen points in the lead. Once again the wonderful combination, Clark to Parks to Staple- ton was put into operation. The crowd responded electrically to the change in the fortune of the game. Never had they seen such fast, scientific dribbling, passing and throwing. Once, twice, thrice, Northern scored field goals. The combination was playing Central into knots. Nothing could stop the drive. The Northern q uintet was on ballbearings. Another basket, another, and yet another, in lightning succession with two free throws from fouls and they were tied. How much Stapleton was doing for Northern was fully realized by Lee. To his mind, filled with hatred, it seemed that Stapleton was doing more to defeat Central than any two other men. During the next mix up, Lee slugged Stapleton; to all appearance the deed was deliberate. The whistle sounded. Pant- ing, his teeth set between his parted lips, his eyes wide and wild, Lee stood, waiting the penalty. “Lee disqualified,” said the referee. As Lee left the floor, Lee said to Stapleton, “I am sorry I did not get you.” But Stapleton did not answer. The score a tie and one minute to play. Could Northern make a basket in one minute? The ball was in play at center. There was a sword-like thrust and a flash of the wonderful combination, and Northern was two points ahead as the referee’s whistle shrilled the end of the game. The students were shouting themselves hoarse and there was a quick rush for the doors. Stapleton, hurriedly dressing, went upstairs where Marjorie was waiting for him, “Oh! Lynn, I am so proud of you,” she exclaimed, “I think you are wonderful.” “Well, if you do, I guess I will ask my reward.” Saying this Lynn caught her in his arms. Oh, I don’t know how to finish it, but you can guess what happened.

Then will there rest upon your inexperienced shoulders a great burden; a burden greater than looks portray. This same burden has rested upon the shoulders of the Class ‘17 for one year. It has also rested upon the shoulders of the classes gone before. Each class has carried the burden without hesitating, faltering, stumbling, or complaining. So has the Class of ’17 carried this burden successfully, Seniors-to-be, this burden may be dropped by the roadside and there left until other Seniors-to-come raise and bear it their short distance. Tradition, however, demands that you do your share. Will you do it? The burden which the Class of 17 has been carrying, though very heavy, is extremely delicate; too delicate, in fact, for one class alone to suport. Not one class has carried it alone. Each class has had a certain amount of help. Neither can you, Classes of 718, °19, and ’20, carry this burden your short distance without the same help that the classes before you have received. It is a help that must be earned and solicited. It is a help that you must work for. It is not offered and thrust upon you. It is not a help that can be obtained while you are Seniors. You must work for this help during your whole high school life. If you do not you will receive little help. Also, it will be unwillingly given. What is this burden? What is this help? I will answer the former question first. This burden is the publication of the LEGENDA. The help is that help which merchants and manu- facturers give by advertising in the LEGENDA. And now, how can you earn that help? First, by buying a LEGENDA so that you will become acquainted with the advertisers. Second, by pat- ronizing the advertisers. When making purchases from them let them know that you are a member of Arthur Hill and that you have seen their advertisements in the LEGENDA. Fourth, take the LEGENDA into your homes and let your parents read it. They are interested in all high school affairs and while reading the LEGENDA they will become acquainted with the advertisers. Seniors-to-be, you may think this advice to be given from rather precocious Seniors. Think as you will, the Class of ’17 has borne its burden and is giving this friendly advice from actual experience. The Class of ’17 in giving this advice, heartily wishes you success, Mince Pie or Welsh Rarebit. Miss Coney had a dream that showed to her George Eliot reading Snappy Stories. G.S.
