The first book catne out in 1900 and was sponsored by the Class of ’01. Since that time the book has grown steadily in size and cir- culation. The Legenda of 1900 varied greatly from our present book in its make up. The ad- vertisements were placed first in the book, while one of the main features was the pictures of all the gratnmar school buildings and their princi- pals. The “Legendas” were published irregu- larly for several years and were usually issued by private enterprise undertaken by a small group of seniors. In 1912 a decided change took place in the policy of the printing of the annual. The seniors realized that the book was their only real remembrance of the four years at school, so took over the responsibility of issu- ing their own history. This policy is in vogue to-day with the re- sult that the entire class works and boosts to tnake it an institution of Arthur Hill.

To the Class of ’24:— I am glad to avail myself of this opportun- ity to extend my personal greetings and best wishes to you all. You have spent soYne four years together at Arthur Hill sharing a common experience. During that tiYne many friendships have been formed—possibly some personal antipathies de- veloped; you have had many happy days to- gether—perhaps some that were not so happy; consciously or unconsciously you have been fitting yourselves to deal effectively with the various problems of life — personal problems peculiar to each individual and problems of citizenship comYnon to us all. Now you are about to leave the old school, each going his or her separate way, and these years you have spent together will soon be but a memory. My wish for you is that this memory may always be a pleasant and sustaining one. May the friendships formed be forever cher- ished and maintained as among life’s most pre- cious possessions, while the antipathies fade away! May the good times you have had be long remeYnbered, while the other kind are for- gotten ! May the preparation for life’s prob- lems prove adequate to the need when it arises! And so, Class of ’24,—“Over the top and the best o’ luck!” Sincerely your friend and well wisher, President Board of Education.

They came from all parts of the compass, frotn the districts known as John Moore, Jerome, Otto Roeser, Stone, Herig, and Durand, while some came even from districts far beyond the confines of Saginaw. At various unfamiliar districts, guides, called teachers, were to be stationed to assist the travellers safely through the unknown terri- tory. The trip was planned to take four years, and it was decided that officers should be elected each year to guide the company on the jour- ney. Accordingly, lots were drawn early that month to see who should lead this sedulous group of pilgrims. The result was that Floyd Adsit was chosen to become the leader for the first year. Ralph Boughner was his assistant. A custom was started of collecting dues to carry on the various enterprises throughout the year, at which position Kenneth Schurr was a “past master”. The honor of being the secretary to the President fell to Princess Violet Roethke. King Adsit, as he was called, ruled his people with great kindness. Many happy days were spent under his reign. ’Tis said that the king was a lover of entertainment and that he provided plentv of it during his leadership. A few of the pilgrims had turned back before they entered on the second stage of the journey. The remainder plodded on through many hardships and pleasures. At the beginning of the second year a new leader had to be chosen, one of high calibre and who knew how to face the world with courage. Gilbert Smith very capably filled this position. He had as his chief assistant Harriet Pitts, who could amply fill his place when the .hief was not able to do so. Princess Violet Roethke, who was the chief’s most able assistant, was re-elected to take notes of the journey, from which much information was obtained. Jean Smith was chosen to take charge of all money matters that came up for that year. Miss Dillon was known as the “Guardian Angel’’ of these pilgrims, because she administered to all their wants with the greatest care. The pilgrims devised various methods of entertainment. One evening, especially, there was a jolly affair. Games were played, play- lets were given by those inclined to take the more strenuous part of the entertaining on their shoulders, and dancing was enjoyed. This being an old fashioned costume ball, unique and appropriate prizes were offered for the costumes. . They spent many other happy days together, under the guidance of their chosen leaders. After a time, the journey continued across the plains. A year hav- ing elapsed, in accordance with the resolutions made the first year, a new leader had to be chosen, the lot this time falling to Sir Jerry Chambers, an efficient and willing master. But he was not to lead them long. At the end of a few months, he was forced to return to his home town, so Sir Reginald French was chosen to take his place, while Mile. Mildred Marks filled the vacancy left by Sir French. Mile. Jean McDermid accepted the position of Secretary of Affairs to Sir French. Hon. Alec Jack being a well known Master of the Treasury, was awarded that honorable position on this occasion. They struggled on, these worthy pilgrims, overcoming obstacles that obstructed their path until they reached the “City of Experience’’ where they rested for a while. During their prolonged stay here, they decided to produce an amateur play called “The Wren”. It was a decided success. Just about this time an ancient Egyptian ruler, known and recog- nized as King Tutankhamen, popularly called King “Tut”, came back to life. To celebrate this great event, these self-same pilgrims gave a ball in his honor, remembered as King “Tut’s” Ball, which translated, means the “Junior Fandingo”. Before leaving the “City of Experience”, the travellers gathered with the “Elders” of the city, known as Seniors, at a banquet which took place at the celebrated Hotel Bancroft. Not being far from their intended goal, they briskly set forth on the last lap of their journey. The honor of leading this faithful group into the “City of Oppor- tunity” went to Hon. Alec. Jack. His “right hand man” was Tracy Maynard. Events of interest that happened along the way were ever and anon recorded by their staunch friend and sister, Violet Roethke. The strenuous task of taking care of the overflowing money in the treasury went to Nathan Schreib, who had heretofore proved himself to be an honest and upright companion to them. Before reaching the “City of Opportunity” they passed through the village of “Initiative” where they and many of their friends attended the concerts offered by the Redpath Bureau and sponsored by the pilgrims. Having only a short distance to travel before reaching their goal, they again took a rest, during which period they produced the cofnedy called “The Boomerang”. Starting out with renewed zest, they soon reached their destina- tion and were seen walking up the “Steps of Preparedness” at the Auditorium in the month of June, 1924. Was there ever a worthier group of pilgrims heard of or seen before, As these pilgrims of the Class of ’24? Marguerite Winterstein El-tHNOU JOHNSON'!.!

Laura Daenzer loves a movie sheik— Helen Cornish appears at the Strand each week. Aria Shaler, a typist of speed, The world, in shorthand, very soon will lead. Hatty Schimmer is a teacher in gymnastic feats, Rachael Everett takes tickets for the Jeffers-Strand seats. Emmeline Kennedy clerks at Woolworth’s store, And Helen Kaitenbeck checks hats at the Bancroft door! The vision fades, the globe, crystal clear— The fate of our future, into which we peer— Calls back thoughts of the dim, obscure past. And we gaze again in the sphere so vast, Seeing mystic, fading, all a-dying. Visions aged, classmates sighing! —L. ORR. We, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four, being mentally as sane as possible after the varied and numerous mental gymnastics required in passing the course prescribed at Arthur Hill, and having the physical strength and vigor acquired by four years of sitting on the upper instead of the lower extremity of the spinal column in the various lobbies (that is, classrooms), and pushing fountain pens and equally heavy objects to and fro, do hereby bequeath certain rights and privi- leges, formerly ours, to our immediate successors, and in the same slip of the pen, revoke all former wills, to viz, and to wit: First—We will relinquish the heights of Olympus, i. e. the balcony seats in assembly, to our aspirants. Second—Any note-books, synopsis of book reports, or other aids and short cuts to knowledge and good marks to those clever enough to use them. Third—The right to settle all debts and liabilities and to clear up any shady deals that are strewn along the path of our progress. Fourth—The right to sleep in class during exciting lectures, pro- vided the soft petal is applied to snoring. Fifth—The privilege of leaning on the radiators with HER till the last bell rings; parking elbows on Mrs. Bouchey’s counter telling fairy tales at the beginning of each day and hour, and of practicing Swiss Yodels when going through the court during class periods. Sixth—The ability to filibuster and bluff in class and to practice various schemes and devices for securing white slips and excuses. Seventh—The right to acquire all the pomp, dignity, prestige, and other accoutrements characteristic of Seniors. In witness thereof we hereunto set our hands and seal this eigh- teenth day of June, nineteen hundred and twenty-four. CLASS OF 1924, “Squire” Rindhage, Executor. ( i • P ■: - s : • • m � v’ •• V' • ' -• ' • SENIOR CLASS Alec Jack, President Violet Roethke, Secretary Tracy Maynard, Vice-President Nathan Schreib, Treasurer Philena Clarke, Advisor The Class of '24, which from its freshman year has been marked by its individuality, capped this characteristic by initiating a Lyceum Course immediately after organizing for its senior activities. The ob- ject of bringing this course here was to provide wholesome entertain- ment for the West Side. Under the leadership of its sterling president, Alec Jack, and the cooperation of the entire class, this undertaking was a triumph. The course embodied some unusual talent. The numbers included “The Cavan-Welsh Singers,” “The National Male Quartette,” “The Grosjean Marimba Xylophone Company, and Mr, Ellwood T. Bailey, who delivered his inspirational address “All-Aboard.” We were well jepresented in all branches of athletics. French, Grigg. Maynard, Ferguson, Lauer, and Wade were on the football squad. Hintz and Jackson were our tank men, while Reichle was on the track team. French was also on the boys’ basketball team. Among the girl basketeers, there were Captain Gladys Streeter. Anne Klemach, Mildred Marks, Alice Dice, Hattie Schimmer, and Irene Tullis. Tullis. “The Boomerang” our class play “went over big. Aside from be- ing a financial success, it was a splendid dramatic achievement. Debate is not a senior activity, but it really could be considered as such this year, as both the negative and affirmative teams were com- posed entirely of seniors. The negative team consisted of Walter Stro- bel, Sidney Sehroeder. and C’ulbert Arnold, while the affirmative side was upheld by Helen Hollies, Jerome Hard, and William Roethke. Before commencement, on June 18. we have yet two other pro- jects—our party, and the Junior-Senior banquet. JUNIOR CLASS Here we come, the class of ‘ 25,” to the honorable seats of seniors, after a successful junior year. We started to make our history when we organized early in Sep- tember, and chose our class officers: Roland Waite, President Morris Goldstein, Secretary Fred Helfrecht, Vice President Marion Marks, Treasurer Miss Jennings, Class Advisor Our dues were at once settled, being one dollar a year. At this time we also chose our class rings and pins. In school activities, especially athletics, the class of ’25” had a large representation. On the football team were the following juniors: Harold Schimmer, Captain for “’23” and Captain elect for “’24,” Rol- and W'aite, Robert Mead, Jonathan Knott, Russel Spaulding. Morris Goldstein. Thomas Tallon, and Carl Smiley. In basket ball there were- Norman Miller, Captain. Jonathan Knott, Thomas Tallon. Harold Schimmer, and on the girls’ team. Captain elect Dorothy Needham and Marion Marks. Some of our members were officers in the Hi-Y, Alice rreeman Palmer, and House of Representatives. WTe also have a promising young orator, Donald Vibert, who repre- sented Arthur Hill in the Oratorical Contest. “The Prince Chap” was chosen for the junior play, which was presented before a full house at the North Intermediate School, Feb- ruf,T 13th' . ‘.‘The Prince Chap” demonstrated the clever actors who will be promising material for our senior play. Plans are now under way for our junior party. W’e have tried to keep up our pep, and think we have surely done our best.

Bertram Zuhn, Ruby Sophomore Class George Krueger, President Wilma Radtke, Secretary Roland Hohisel, Vice President Ruth Geddes, Treasurer Miss Skinner, Class Advisor Blue and white—Class colors It happened on a September morning! Some two hundred and fifty “Sophs” were trying to get up courage enough to enter the doors of Arthur Hill. They had heard many strange stories of what happened to those who entered high school and were still “green”. If anybody had asked one of those dear little things what he wanted, he probably would have received, in answer, “My Mother sent me.” But this fear did not last long. We organized early in October and elected officers to guide us through our first year. Then we began to feel more secure. Our prominence on the athletic field soon showed that we were not tnother’s boy or girl. We were represented on the foot-ball team by Krueger, Davis, Turner and Bauer. On the basket-ball team we had Turner, Krueger and Bauer. We also were well represented on the girls’ team by Emma Carmichael and Irma Trask, who helped bring the “State Championship” to Arthur Hill. Both the boys’ and girls’ Sophomore teams showed players who ought to develop into stars before leaving school. In other school activities, the “Sophs” were well represented on both the Glee Clubs, the publications and in the House of Represen- tatives. We also developed quite a “crop” of “Sheiks” and “Vamps”. How about it “Upperclassmen?” We held a Class Party, which, although restricted to class metn- bers, was a huge success. Watch our smoke in “1925”.

To print school news. 2. To boost Arthur Hill. 3. To patronize our advertisers. 4. To promote an interest in journalism. During its sixteen years of existence, “The Criterion” has been an established and important factor in the lives of the students of Arthur Hill. Through its influence better sportsmanship and school pride have been prohioted. In March, 1908, under the editorship of Mr. Frank Anderson, “The Criterion” first came to light as a small magazine. It continued in this form until 1920. when with Miss Catherine Rice as editor, the magazine was enlarged. The following year Miss Edythe Rhinevault and her staff changed it to a three-column newspaper. The next year, under Miss Marion Meyers, it grew to its present size. It has been the purpose of the 1924 staff to perfect this style and to place the paper on a more definite financial basis. It is the hope of this year’s editors that next year “The Criterion” will be able to abandon its magazine features and to appear as a real five-column four-page newspaper.

Mr. W. W. Haggard Girls’ Club The Girls’ Club was organized in September and the following elected to office: Alice Dice, President Jean McDermid, Secretary Eleanor Johnson, Vice President Gladys Streeter, Treasurer Advisors—Miss Vanderhoof, Miss Taylor, Miss Skinner The first affair given by the Club was a “Get Acquainted Party.” The Annex was beautifully decorated and the costumes of the girls cor- responded with the decorations. Dancing and games were provided as entertainment. Favors were distributed and every one joined in with the fun until half-past ten, when refreshments were served. Another party was given in February and this party was a gorgeous affair as far as costumes were concerned. Contrary to the usual custom, many young men (?) attended this party, and a merrier time would be hard to conceive. Among those present were: George and Martha Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Valentino, Mr. and Mrs. Jiggs and many other notables. Several stunts were put on by the girls and teachers. The Girls’ Club has been doing its bit in bringing together the girls of the school, following out its original purpose, “Cooperation and Friendship among the Girls.” Thus our present year closes with good times to be remembered by all who participated in their parties. Three cheers for the Girls’ Club! and may it continue its good work. r Crucibles Carl Hintz, President Wilmer Littlejohn, Secretary Bruce Fayerweather, Vice-Pres. John Gragg, Treasurer Advisor, A. G. Dersch One of the few high school societies in the state of Michigan hav- ing scholarship as the key to gain admission is that of the honorary chemical society of Arthur Hill High School, known as “The Crucibles”. This club, organized two years ago by A. G. Dersch, chemistry in- structor, now has an active membership of twenty-two. A grade of “B” must be acquired and maintained to enable a chemistry student to join and hold membership. The object of the society is to promote interest in chemistry and to give its members, an insight into the close relationship existing between Chemistry and many industrial activities. During the year, week-end trips to near-by cities, such as Midland and Flint, together with visits ' to local plants were enjoyed by the Crucibles. The insignia of membership is a black and gold pin in the shape of a hexagon, symbolic of the benzene ring upon which are two crossed chemical retorts. Meetings for the purpose of scientific discussions, initiations, etc. have been held regularly throughout the year on every third Thursday evening. Besides the officers other members are: John Lovette—Pres. 1923 Leroy Boehringer Alec Jack Walter Strobel Theodore Koski Melvin Robinson Frank Rindhage Milton Seiferlein Nathan Schreib Philip Olmstred George Baker Hoyt De Kleine Marshal Chamberlain Kenneth Miller Keith Crane Joseph Telmos Jack Steele Glenn Easterly Alice Freeman Palmer Club Officers First Semester Officers Second Semester Harriet Steele, President Marion Marks, President Harriet Steele, Vice-President Irene Rice, Vice-President Eleanor Johnson, Secretary Grace Rankin, Treasurer Eleanor Johnson, Secretary Ellen Clements, Treasurer Advisors, Miss Woodman, Miss Powers The Alice Freeman Palmer Club was organized October 3, 1921 and has progressed very rapidly since that time. The club was named after Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer who at one time was principal of Saginaw High School, and later became President of Wellesley College and Dean of Women at the University of Chicago. The purpose of the Club is to promote literary interest and provide social entertainment for high school girls. The design on the little silver club pin is made up of the letters A. F. P. C., an open book and a torch, symbols of learn- ing and of literature. During the past two years the main activities, besides our regular programs, have been three one act plays, Christinas parties, debates, and picnics. The programs this year have been entertaining and edu- cational, and have consisted of biographical sketches, readings, serial stories, playlets, and musical numbers. A former member has presented the club with a biography of Alice Freeman Palmer, and this is re- viewed each year. r One of the most enjoyable events this year was the Christmas party, which was given in the Domestic Science department. Besides the usual program, the members provided gifts which were distributed by ‘‘Santa Claus”; games were played, and punch and cakes were served. The all school parties sponsored by the club have also been very enjoyable. The proceeds from the social affairs have been placed in the bank, and it is hoped that at some time in the future this sum will become large enough for a loan scholarship which will be available to girls who have been members of the Alice Freeman Palmer Club. The members of the Club are very grateful to their advisors, Miss Woodman and Miss Powers, for the interest they have shown in the Club.

The first meeting this year was held October 8. The constitution which had been used the year previous, was adopted by an unanimous vote. It is hoped that a precedent was established when the Senate Ball was given at the Annex, March 22. The hall was decorated with Amer- ican flags in a truly artistic manner. Although the membership is not so high as last year, this can be explained by the fact that no membership catnpaign was carried on, the reason for this being that the organization did not wish any mem- bers who were not keenly interested in debating.

Very stormy debating was heard on these questions and it was worth the time of any boy of Arthur Hill to be there. The principal object of the Student House is to train the voices of the members toward debating and to teach them to differentiate be- tween strong and weak arguments. The House accomplished its object this year as it has in the past. There has been keen rivalry between the Student House and the Student Senate. This was shown especially in the debates between these organizations. These meetings were among the best of the year. The House owes much of its success to Mr. Poulson, faculty advisor, who saw that the sessions were conducted correctly.

Since then we have held our regular meetings in the domestic science department. Our main object has been to “promote clean scholarship, clean speech, clean sports and clean living,” which is the club’s motto. During the Christmas holidays we gave a basket to a family, and also a luncheon at the “Y” dining rootn in honor of all club alumni. Since then we have not done very much in the way of outside work but we have boosted scholastic work. Harvey Spaulding Cecil Barnett Edward Biles Fredrick Bliss Hoyt DeKleine L.

Social programs of Spanish games and like amusements were also en- joyed. The annual Spanish Club party was the first social event of the second seYnester and it was considered one of the best parties of the year.

During the year, the glee club assisted in the programs at the school assemblies, parent-teachers’ meetings and at the benefit show at the Wolverine given by the girls’ athletic association. At every appearance, the club was well received by an appreciative audience.

Its lively selections gave just the finish- ing touches to assemblies, plays and other school entertainments. The quality of their work is shown by the fact that they mastered such dif- ficult selections as the G-Minor Symphony by Mozart, and gives evi- dence of the careful instruction of the director, Miss Neiswanger.

The program was so varied and so beautifully staged that many pronounced it the best concert ever given by Arthur Hill. The entire entertainment showed a finesse not usually characteristic of a high school musical program. The mixed quartet, composed of Harriet Axel, Helen Blaisdell, Tom Rippberger, and Bruce Fayerweather gave three numbers, the best one being the old favorite “Love’s Old Sweet Song’’. Their voices blended exceedingly well and tnade their part of the program a suc- cess. Bruce Fayerweather, as baritone soloist and Harriet Axel, as con- tralto soloist sang in such a pleasing manner that the audience de- manded an encore from both. Lydia Stroebel, as piano soloist and Floyd Hach as xylophone solo- ist covered themselves with honors. Both the girls’ and boys’ glee club numbers showed long and care- ful training. The faultless rendition of their songs marked the clubs as having accomplished something very much worth while. The orchestra proved itself not only most capable in playing its own selections, but also very cotnpetent in accompanying, without the aid of a director, the mixed quartet and Harriet Axel. The climax of the program was reached when the mixed chorus gave its two numbers “The Song of the Vikings’’ and “The Hallelujah Chorus” from the oratorio “The Messiah”. Both of these selections were difficult for high school students but the mixed chorus handled them with perfect ease. Lena Kreuchauf accompanied the glee clubs and the mixed chorus admirably. No little credit is due her for helping to make the concert a success. All of the students who took part in the concert will go to Mt. Pleasant May 15 and 16 to enter the state music contest. THE BEGINNING On September 22, with a practically new team, Arthur Hill swamped the Howell gridders 26 to 0, in the first game of the season. After the initial touchdown, the first three periods developed into a great battle. Three touchdowns were made by Arthur Hill in the last period, the first one coming with a fifteen yard penalty, and the second when French intercepted a pass and plunged over the line. The last one came when Krueger nailed a pass, making a twenty yard gain. Gold- stein then took the ball over in two plays. VENGEANCE Well I should guess, did you see that game September, the twenty- ninth? If you didn’t, you missed seeing those high stepping Shiawas- sians from O-wo-sso take a tumble at the hands of Rugh’s rushing Hillites, 19 to 0. Arthur Hill certainly showed vast improvement over the previous game. In the fourth quarter, Owosso was elated to see Coach Rugh push in practically all the substitutes. However, the subs played a good game and Owosso could not gain. A LITTLE UPSET ON OCTOBER 6 Who was upset? Why Flint of course! The state title contenders left with faces that almost reached from their shoulders to their boots. They certainly were a sick looking crowd. They came down here to have a track meet, and left just winning by 13 to 2. Fighting like demons from beginning to end, Arthur Hill’s defeat was due to the lack of weight and experience. Arthur Hill 'menaced Flint's goal twice, but each time, finding themselves pitted against an impenetrable defense, the ball was lost on downs. Flint’s two touchdowns came in the second and fourth quarters, the first coming from a fifteen yard penalty, the second after a consistent advance, which Arthur Hill was unable to stop. Tallon and Griggs showed up in their spectacular runs and ability to dodge the Flint tacklers, while Goldstein did some fine punting. NATURE’S BLUNDER Slipping, sliding in and out like eels in the mud, playing what should have been a swimming meet instead of a football game, that’s what nature doped out to us on the unlucky day of October, the thirteenth. Playing under dripping skies, against the Big Red aggregation of Lansing, a team of veterans that outweighed Arthur Hill by several pounds to the man, Lansing, coupled with Jupiter, proved a liability to Arthur Hill and won 49 to 0. Showing wonderful fighting ability, Arthur Hill made a sensa- tional stand in the first half and held Lansing to twelve points. Lansing then came back with a vengeance and tearing through our line, made thirty-seven points in the last half. The outstanding feature of the game was the unusually large number of Arthur Hill rooters that accompanied the team. THE POLAR BEARS The highly touted Polar Bears from Highland Park came down to Merrill Field, and suffered their first defeat of the season by a score of 9 to 7, on October twentieth, in a most spectacular game. In the first quarter, getting off with a rush, Arthur Hill carried the ball to the Polar Bear’s twelve yard line, where they found a con- crete barrier erected. Using his educated toe, Tallon stepped back to the twenty yard line and drop kicked squarely between the goal posts for the only points of that half. Then came the second half, when terrific line plunging gave the Polar Bears their touchdown, which looked like the deciding factor of the game. In the sensational fourth quarter, all dope was upset, and the backs raced through the visitors’ line as water runs through a sieve, and crossed the chalk line for six points, after being penalized for twenty yards. With the game almost ended, Highland Park made a last attempt and ran the ball down to the twenty-seven yard line; here a penalty stopped them, and after they had tried a drop kick which fell short, the game ended. Shimmer on the line and Wray, Goldstein, and Davis were the stars for Arthur Hill. THE FOOD CITY GAME On October the twenty-seventh, the Arthur Hill gridders went down to Battle Creek and lost 14 to 13. Starting out with a rush, Arthur Hill led 13 to 0 the first half. The score was due largely to the long end runs by Goldstein and Wray, a fifty yard pass to Waite and another ten yard run by Goldstein for the touchdown. The second touchdown came when Milf Wray intercepted a pass on his goal line and ran along the line. Tallon missed the field goal. In the second half, Battle Creek came back with a rush and scored two touchdowns, kicking both goals for the extra points, and won by a point. Lauer, Shimlner and Davis starred. THE STATE CHAMPS Rugh’s Hillites went down to Muskegon on November the third and gave Coach Jack’s men the worst scare they have had all season, and lost only 12 to 6. Arthur Hill received the ball on the kick off but failed to gain. Goldstein kicked to Muskegon. With Osterbaan, all state end on the receiving end of their passes and a couple of long end runs, Mus- kegon made six points. Arthur Hill made its touchdown when a fumbled punt was re- covered by Waite on Muskegon’s eight yard line. Goldstein earned the ball over on a pretty end run, and the score stood 6 to 6. The second and third quarters were uneventful, but in the fourth quarter, the Muskies pushed over another touchdown. Arthur Hill got a first down on Muskegon’s six yard line in the closing minutes but could not gain. Shimmer, Waite, and Turner on the line, and Tallon, Davis, and Goldstein in the backfield were the bright lights for Rugh’s team. THE BAY CITY CROWD Playing without the services of Captain Shimmer before a large crowd of Arthur Hill fans at Bay City, Arthur Hill lost 14 to 6 on November the tenth. Starting in the game with a heavy weight disadvantage, Arthur Hill used a passing attack which baffled Bay City, and which, except for Bay City’s touchdown at the very outset of the game, had the ball in its territory most of the first half. Arthur Hill completed about six passes in this half, one good for a touchdown. Turner flew up into the air on two different plays and bore down the oval on almost im- possible catches. With the ball on the twenty-two yard line, Wray received a pass and calmly stepped over the line for a touchdown. The kick was blocked. In the second half Arthur Hill was unable to stop the lanky Swede, Schwiensberg, and Bay City scored seven more points. Tallon, Davis, Turner, and Krueger were the bright lights on this chilly day. THE PRISON CITY BOYS A gale of high velocity was blowing on November the seventeenth when the Jackson gridders came down to Merrill field and defeated Arthur Hill 9 to 0. That Prison City crowd certainly knew football, but they found themselves pitted against a light, fast, hard fighting team. Their touchdown came when a Rughman fumbled the ball, which was recovered by VanBuren, Jackson’s plunging fullback. He raced forty-three yards for a touchdown and also place kicked forty yards for their other three points. THAT TURKEY DAY GAME! This memorable game played on November the twenty-ninth, be- tween Arthur Hill and Saginaw, was witnessed by five thousand excited fans, and ended in a 7 to 7 tie. Except for the first minutes of the game, when Saginaw made its touchdown, the honors were all Arthur Hill’s. The sensation of the game was w’hen Arthur Hill marched seventy yards for a touchdown. Using a spread formation, which baffled Saginaw during the whole game, Arthur Hill gained many yards. Never will the fans forget that formation! With perfect passing by French and the fastest backfield Arthur Hill has ever had in Wray, Tallon, Griggs, and Davis, Arthur Hill would gain a number of yards before Saginaw knew who had the ball. In the first half, it looked as if eleven pair of spectac’e ,vere needed for the Saginaw team. They could not see the man with the ball; by some mistake, they would tackle him, then again Coach Beatty’s men would spy the ball' under French’s finger tips for a second. So easily did Saginaw gain at the very outset, that their rooters were yelling for touchdowns, but when Arthur Hill started going down the field, Saginaw cried for something to happen. It did happen when Arthur Hill tied the game 7 to 7. At the start of the third quarter, the Rugh men carried the ball from their thirty-three yard line to Saginaw’s ten yard line, only to be stopped by a fifteen yard penalty. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Saginaw tried a drop kick which fell short; later Smith tried another field kick which was blocked. The game turned out to be as good as a win for Arthur Hill, while Saginaw went back across the river to hang out a crepe for a whole year. Personnel of Second Team Left End ... Left Tackle .

Conkey Basketball Team BOYS’ BASKET BALL Arthur Hill 34 Alumni 24 Arthur Hill started the new year right by playing a talented group of alumni players and winning 34 to 24. French and Capt. Nubs Miller were the bright lights, caging seven and five baskets respectively. Arthur Hill 16 Owosso 15 Arthur Hill traveled to Owosso to play the first scheduled game of the season and won 16 to 15. Owosso forced Rugh’s men to an overtime period to win. Arthur Hill 12 Battle Creek 22 Playing a better offensive and defensive game and having a more experienced team, Battle Creek won from Arthur Hill 22 to 12. Arthur Hill 18 Mt. Pleasant Normal 15 Through their good defense and offensive playing, Captain Miller’s cagers won from the Mt. Pleasant Normal Reserves 18 to 15. Arthur Hill 26 Saginaw 4 Arthur Hill walloped Saginaw 26 to 4, and outclassed them in every stage of the game. Turner played a brilliant game, contributing 16 of Arthur Hill’s points. Arthur Hill 17 Flint 24 Playing a good defensive game and guarding Turner so close he never registered a basket, Flint defeated Arthur Hill 24 to 17. Arthur Hill 25 St. Marys 7 In a game in which St. Marys was completely outclassed from the start, Coach Rugh’s cagers piled up a score of 25 to 7. Arthur Hill 28 Owosso 9 Rugh’s cagers won from Owosso 28 to 9, outclassing them in every department of the game. Arthur Hill 10 Bay City 15 In a hard fought game, Arthur Hill lost to Bay City 15 to 10. The defensive work of both teams was good, while the feature of the game was the guarding of Schweinsberg, Bay City’s lanky center by Johnny Knott. Arthur Hill 45 Gaylord 15 Using two teams, Arthur Hill decisively beat Gaylord 45 to 15. Arthur Hill 21 Flint 23 Flint nosed out Arthur Hill 23 to 21, when a Flint player shot two fouls in the last minute of play. Captain Miller was high scorer for Arthur Hill. Arthur Hill 23 Saginaw 15 Arthur Hill again beat Saginaw 23 to 15. The floor work of Krueger and Turner featured for Arthur Hill. Arthur Hill 15 Battle Creek 12 Arthur Hill lost to Battle Creek 15 to 12. The Food City lads, claimants for the State Championship, very luckily pulled out of this “nip and tuck” battle. Arthur Hill 13 Bay City 23 Tough luck, Bay City again gets the valley. Arthur Hill 28 Gladwin 15 Arthur Hill, playing its last home game, defeated Gladwin 28 to 15, in a one sided contest that was lacking of any feature or spectac- ular playing. MT. PLEASANT TOURNAMENT Arthur Hill cagers traveled to the tournament at Mt. Pleasant with high hopes. Their first game with Owosso was won 23 to 19. Bay City again smashed our chances and defeated us 19 to 6. The team work of the Bay City boys was the best of any team Arthur Hill encountered during the season. School Activities Girls’ Basketball A. H. 37 Owosso 8 By way of tuning up for the season, our girls’ team defeated Owosso. We were led by Capt. Streeter who was assisted by Dot. Need- ham in her special department as forward. As it is necessary to have six good players on the team, there were two guards, Mildred Marks, and Hattie Schimmer; the centers. Dice and Klemach, besides the two forwards. When ready to go they played “Step Lively.” Owosso was not able to keep up with this, so they went down to the tune of 37 to 8. A. H. 27 Saginaw 16 Determined to make history repeat itself, cur girls went in and fought their hardest. It is hard to tell which of them played the best game, because they all showed up well. The line up consisted of the same people who defeated Saginaw High last year, with the exception of Trask who went in for Schimmer in the third quarter. At the end of the first half, the score was 11 to 10 in favor of Sagi- naw High, but in the third and fourth quarter Arthur Hill woke up and won 27 to 16. A. H. 44 Alma 9 “Action speaks louder than words.” At Alma, our team won 44 to 9, using two entirely different teams. A. H. 75 Owosso 7 The return game with Owosso was won on our home floor. The score was 75 to 7. Miss Holmes played seventeen girls. This is the last gatne we will play with Owosso for some time, as they are withdrawing from the league. A. H. 15 Bay City 11 Lack of efficiency on the part of the referee resulted in a regular, “Free for All.” Neither Bay City nor Arthur Hill showed their usual form of play, but after a hard fight, we won 15 to 11. A. H. 15 Flint 8 In starting, Flint was a little late, So Arthur Hill won 15 to 8. By Capt. Streeter our girls were led; Assisted by Needham, we kept ahead, Anne, our center, jumped so high That she had it all over on the other guy. Alice, our side center, was always on the run, Doing things that other people said couldn’t be done. Our guards were always there Waving and shaking their hands in the air.. The Flint forwards did not dare shoot a basket, Unless they wished to be put in a casket. Carmichael went hurrying in. To take Needham’s place and help us win. In the last few’ minutes of play, Tullis took Trask’s place and went to work without delay. A. H. 13 Saginaw 17 Arthur Hill played a return game with Saginaw High at the Cen- tral gytn. Both teams started out well, but through fouls we lost two of our best players and played the rest of the game with substitute cen- ters. Saginaw led at the end of first half, 7 to 4 but Arthur Hill fought harder the next half, and the third quarter ended 10 to 10. In the last quarter, our centers were overpowered and Saginaw kept the ball in their territory. The game ended 17 to 13 in favor of Saginaw High. A. H. 15 Flint 13 On February 29, our girls went to Flint to play a return game. Both sides played hard but we had the best team and naturally we came out on top. This was the game which was to make sure of our State Title, or break all our claims for it. Streeter and Carmichael played splendid team work at forwards. Marion Marks, at side center, out played her opponents the whole game. When Owosso drops out of the league, we shall be glad to welcome Flint in, for they are such clean sports. A. H. 37 Bay City 20 In the hotne game with Bay City, we tried to make sure of our title with new plays. In the first half, a great many fouls were called on both sides. The half ended 13 all. “Pepping” up in the third quarter, we played the best team work ever seen on our home floor. We easily won 37 to 20, with a few changes in the line up during the game. 1923 TRACK The track season of 1923 started early in April and a wealth of ma- terial turned out at the call of Capt. Ray Hart. After about three weeks of work the squad was given time trials at Merrill Field. The first week in May the Inembers of the squad who were con- sidered likely point winners in state competition, were taken to the first of the State Meets at Kalamazoo, sponsored by Kalamazoo College. The following week the Western State Normal meet was held also in Kalamazoo, and here the team made a good showing. In these meets John Lovette, the experienced weight star, demonstrated his abil- ity to break records, and Capt. Hart ran in his old form in the half inile. After a week of rest, the squad was taken to the Ann Arbor Inter- scholastic. Here the competition was much stiffer, but the veterans demonstrated their ability to hold their own. Owing to the efforts of Hart and Lovette, the team placed near the top in all the meets held throughout the year. In the annual valley meet held at Alumni Field on June tenth, all the members of the squad gave a good account of themselves. In this Yneet the team took all the places expected of them, but owing to a lack of men to place in second and third places, Arthur Hill did not collect enough points to win the meet. The following week the team went to Ann Arbor and again placed well up in the list. As a whole, the 1923 season was one of the most successful ones in the history of the school and the absence of the men who were gradu- ated in ’23 will be severely felt this season. 1924 TRACK About fifteen men answered the first call for track, and although most of these are new, they have all shown up well. The first two meets are to be a triangular meet with Owosso and Flint, and the valley meet. The performances at these two meets will determine who will make the trips to Kalamazoo, Lansing and Ann Arbor. The following have reported for practice: J. Bauer, Ed Rice, R. Baumgartner, Delbert Rice, A. Davis, W. Reichle, J. Doerfner, R. Reim- us, M. Goldstein, H. Schimmer, F. Hack, D. Schackleford, S. Healey, M. Seiferlein, G. Lauer, M. Wray. SWIMMING As the acquatic sport is practically an innovation in athletics at Arthur Hill, it has not attained much popularity among the students. However this branch of athletics promises to grow, due to the interest which has made itself manifest this year. The natators took third place in a meet held at Flint. As the team was slow in getting organized, the meets which were to be held with Bay City and Lansing had to be post- poned. The tankmen who represented Arthur Hill at Flint were: John Gragg, Ferdinand Gaensbauer, Melvin Robinson, Russell Alger, Carl Hintz, Ralph Linton, Jack Bauer, and Durward Carroll. CLASS BASKETBALL In a series of games with the sophs and juniors, the Class of 1924 emerged victorious in the race for class basketball honors. The players who wore the senior colors are: Edwin Rice, Walter Strobel, Alec Jack, Edwin MacKinnon, Frank Arold, Milton Seiferlein and Melvin Robin- son. The numerals of the class will be engraved on a silver loving cup, dedicated to this branch of sport. S0CIET7 __LROBEKTS-24-7 SOPHOMORE PARTY The Annex was the scene of the annual Sophomore Party, which was held on Saturday night, February 16, 1924. The affair was unusually well arranged and the keen pleasure which the crowd found in the dancing and games indicated its success. The Annex was attractively decorated, and though the decorations were simple, they were none the less effective and formed an excellent setting for the crowd. Streamers of paper hearts, linked with the class colors of blue and white lined the edge of the balcony, while the stage was one mass of ferns and palms. De Waeles Wolverines played for the dancing which continued throughout the evening, and those who did not care to dance played games and cards in the attractively decorated booths along the side of the hall. The party was given under the direction of our class advisor, Miss Skinner, and was chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Copeland, Mr. and Mrs. Geddes, Mr. and Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Bauer, and Mr. Dean. Miss Spriggs, Miss McKenzie and Miss Taylor, Mr. Wells, Mr. Schubert and Mr. Con- key of the faculty also assisted. THE SENATE BALL The Senators of Arthur Hill decided to depart from the usual cus- tom of an all-school party with the result that one of the most enjoyable social functions of the year was given under their auspices at the An- nex, March 17. The hall was artistically decorated with American flags and crepe paper. Fifty couples danced to the music of the Black and Gold Orches- tra and all expressed the desire that the Senate Ball would becotne an annual affair. FOOTBALL HOP Did we like it? Nothing else. Were there many there? All de- votees of dancing generally, and of some seventeen stalwart lads in particular. Our Foothiall Boys scored a final “touchdown” Saturday evening, December 15, when they successfully “put over” the Annual Hop. Blue and Gold decorations with the block A. H. effectively used gave the Masonic Temple quite a homelike, west side, “our own back lot” air. The Black Diamond Orchestra certainly outdid itself, too, and its lively strains succeeded in sending home a hundred and fifty happy couples, tired perhaps, but reluctant to leave. Was it a success? Well rather! Que dice Vd? Muy bien, muy bien. Red and yellow streamers, lots of them—soft lights everywhere—the best music ever—favors— and unique Wand Dances in which bashful youths found thelnselves helplessly participating—all of which means that the Spanish Club gave quite the finest all school party of the year at the Annex, Satur- day, February 2nd. SPANISH CLUB PARTY COMING EVENTS Junior-Senior Hop, May 17, 1924. Junior-Senior Banquet, June 13, 1924. The Boomerang (Presented by the Senior Class) The class of ’24 scored another success when “The Boomerang” was presented at the Auditorium, April the eleventh. Much of the success of the play was due to the enthusiasm of the class as a whole, who entered into the project with the usual ’24 spirit. Credit, too, must be given to Mr. Schubert, director, and Miss Clarke, who took charge of the business arrangements. The play is built around Dr. Summer’s theory that love is a game, and, if you don’t play it well, it will conquer you. Virginia Xelva uses this theory as a boomerang to make the doctor realize that he loves her. The role of Doctor Gerald Summer was well handled by Jerome Hard. The part of the charming, rather dignified Virginia Xelva, his office assistant, fell to Nita Francisco. An interesting character was that of Budd Woodbridge, a love-sick young man. An excellent presentation of this part was given by Row- land Meyer. The object of his love, Grace Tyler, a vivacious society girl, was tnost realistically played by Jane Khuen. Ah! The Villian! None other than Reginald French, who played the part of Preston DeWitt, Budd’s rival. Ann Klemach enlivened the action as Marion, the young flapper sister of Dr. Summer. Irene Tullis showed ability in the role of Mrs. Creighton Woodbridge, the mother of Budd. Esther Hegler appeared as Gertrude Ludlow, one of the butterfly type. Melvin Robinson entertained the audience in the role of Emile, Dr. Summer’s French valet. Walter Strobel did a fine piece of acting as Mrs. Woodbridge’s butler. Albert Kretchman as Mr. Stone, a patient, made a realistic sick man. Sylvia Heidger, Ruth Plettenburg, and John Izzo appeared as guests at the party. The stage settings were artistic, and the costumes fnost colorful. The high school orchestra played between acts while the “Black Dia- mond Orchestra” furnished the music for the dance which followed. “The Prince Chap” Presented by the Junior Class The junior class play, “The Prince Chap’’, a three act comedy by Edward Peple, was enthusiastically received by a large audience at the North Intermediate School on February the thirteenth. Much of the success of the play was due to the excellent work of every member of the cast, speaking well for the training given them by Mr. Schubert, dramatic instructor. The role of the Prince Chap fell to Thomas Rippberger, who handled it in a very capable manner. The story in brief is as follows: William Peyton, an American sculptor in London adopts Claudia, the small daughter of a former model who is dying. Later, his American fiancee, Alice Travers appears, and because of the little girl, breaks their engagement. When Claudia becomes a winsome girl of eighteen, the Prince Chap realizes that he loves her, and a happy ending results. The character of Claudia was very interesting in that it was played by three different persons. Grace Hagen took the part of the little six-year old miss. Grace Rankin represented the eight-year old maid. Orphia Simmons played the part of Claudia at eighteen. A purely comic role was that of Phoebe Puckers, a slavey, ex- tremely well played by Eleanor Johnson. Humor was also furnished by Harold Nagel as Marcus Runion, a serving man, and by Jack Steele as the truckman. Roberta Ingram as Mrs. Arrington, a model, did a fine piece of acting. Vesta Ensiminger as Alice Travers; Don Vibert as Jack Rodney; Thomas Maher, Harold Vollmer, and Edward Miller as artists presented their parts in a very capable manner. “Tommy’s Wife” Presented by the First Hour Public Speaking Class “Tommy’s Wife”, the three-act comedy by Marie J. Warren, was presented at the Annex, November the twenty-second, by the First Hour Public Speaking Class. To this group of about twenty-five students, goes the credit of financing a great many of the public speak- ing activities for this year. Under the leadership of Mr. Denney, with the excellent coaching of Mr. Schubert, this class presented a play far superior to most amateur offerings. The play centers around Thomas Carothers, portrayed by William Roethke, a struggling young artist. He assumes the role of a married man in order that he might paint the portrait of Sylvia, played by Vesta Ensminger, who is the “young and impressionable” daughter of Mrs. De Yorburg-Smith, a wealthy society leader. His pretty sister Rose, played by Violet Roethke, is pressed into service as his wife. Complications arising from this situation are extremely humorous. Notwithstanding these complications, matrimony seems so attractive that Tom decides that the life of a single tnan is an undesirable one, and secures the hand of Patty Catnpbell, a student in dramatics, played by Helen Kaltenbeck. Comedy was furnished by Thomas Maher, who represented Pierre De Bouton, a typical stage Frenchman. The role of Dick Grannis, one of Rose’s lovers, fell to Don Vibert. Harriet Griggs as Mrs. De Yorburg-Smith, and Anna Klemach as Edith Bronson, a friend of Rose and interested in charities, also did cred- itable work. Juniors DEMTE 'MGU50N. Affirmative Team T. J. Denney Coach REVIEW OF THIS SEASON’S DEBATES This has been the most successful debating year in our school his- tory. We have had two exceptionally strong teams. We won our four preliminary debates, thus placing us in the elimination finals. The debate question for this year is: “Resolved that the adoption of a ship subsidy would be a wise national policy.” Sidney Schroeder, Walter Strobel, and Culbert Arnold composed our negative team. Their first opponent was Saginaw, at Saginaw High School. They received a two-to-one decision. Their second contest was with Midland. After a spirited debate, we received an unanimous decision. Our affirmative team was composed of Helen Hollis, Jerome Hard, and William Roethke. They defeated Alma in a very interesting de- bate. Again we received an unanimous decision. Ithaca was our next “victim.” Our team showed even better form than before, and deserved their second unanimous decision. The preliminary contest ended with Arthur Hill in possession of fifteen out of a possible sixteen points, and both teams sufficiently strong to meet any of the best teams in the state. Our affirmative team scored a victory in the first of the elimination meets with Mt. Pleasant. The contest was very close, but the fine rebuttal gave us a two to one decision. Arthur Hill was placed another round near State Championship when the negative team composed of Walter Strobel, Sidney Schroeder, and Helen Hollies defeated Hastings here. This was the best debate that Arthur Hill has taken part in this year. The contest with Detroit-Northwestern was won two-to-one, leaving Arthur Hill one of the four teams still running for state championship. Our next debate will be with Cheboygan. As the book goes to press, it is too early for the returns of this contest, but from their remarkable record so far, we are confident that their prowess will carry them to Ann Arbor and a State Championship! ORATORY AND DECLAMATION Donald Vibert our representative in oratory, placed first in the sub-district contest held at Bay City during spring vacation. His sub- ject was “Perfect Leaders and Democracy.” This is the second year that Arthur Hill has won the sub-district contest. He placed third in the district contest at Flint. Our declamation representative, Charlotte Pohlman, chose “A Negro in the Late War” by B. T. Washington for her subject, and took third place. , : i i •'� ■� • « .«• All those that think our jokes are poor Would straight way change their views, Could they compare the ones we print With those that we refuse W’c wonder how much commission English teachers get from Mr. Palmer for assigning those long themes.

OUR BOOK REVIEW The Dictionary Having seen the dictionary advertised so much lately in the newspapers, and having heard people talk about it as a big book, I got the impression that it was a best seller and hastened down to buv one so I would know all about it before everybody began accusing me of being illiterate and a low-brow. Oh what a fake! Let me warn you here, dear reader, never buy a dictionary. They’re quite impossible, for more reasons than a senior has for skipping class. The most disconcerting thing about the book is the plot. The author, ac- cording to circumstantial evidence, must have been in a most hazy, foggy, and be-clouded condition when he invoked the muses, because he is so incoherent. The plot is vague and indefinite, that is, if there is a plot at all. The whole thing is so confusing! It lacks action, no thrilling episodes or daring adven- tures in it at all so we could notice. The ending is also a disappointment. The author tells us that zythum is a kind of ancient malt beverage. That may be ending it a la futurism but it can never replace the usual ending when the two gaze into each other’s “shur-ons” and find paradise—slush—mush—etc. An- other annoying thing about the book is the style. Too many big words: the author seems to have tried to use all the big words in existence. This pedantry sort of thing is fierce. The words are also spelled in a queer and most unusual way, sort of a cross between Chaucer and Burns. The whole book is written in a kind of alphabetical style, probably something new in free verse although I think the book is a failure as a poem. I have read of people placing it among the Bible and Shakespeare as one of the books thev liked best, but as for me, give me Harold Bell Wright or a novel by Zane Grey.

A thrilling scene is enacted—- He strives to kiss her cheek! And in the fight that follows, She emits a soulful shriek! Act Three: The Hero enters! ‘Tis the erstwhile Freddie Bliss! He rebukes the artful villain— Sweet Lottie’s no longer a—Miss! A VERY small kid WAS DETERMINED to do A GOOD turn to somebody AND HELP someone that day AND AS he walked HE CAME upon a hat AN OLD man’s hat THAT HAD blown off AND WAS rolling down THE STREET with the OLD MAN chasing it AND THE kid ran AFTER IT and caught it AND TOOK the hat HOME TO his dad. I thank you.

This helps bluffing it thru 100%- Take notes, (especially to class during exams) and underline parts likely to be asked, for quick reference. 5— Work independently. Do your own work, asking for help only during exams. 6— Arrange your tasks economically; do all gossiping, time killing, and paper wad shooting first. Then copy writ- ten work from somebody else.
