En the EHamlty As a token of our repentance for the misdeeds done in the past four years and to ease our consciences for future life, we, the class of nineteen hundred eight, dedicate this book to the Faculty, who have been faithful in their duty and untiring in their eHbrts to show us the error of our ways. e 4x amenmexwfeu-im V; ;A a; , v Iarpfarp The third edition of the uSwastika, on which the class of 1908 have been working for several months past, is at last completed. It has been our aim to make this the best publi- cation that the school has produced thus far, and although we realize that it is by no means perfect, still we hope it may prove interesting to all who look within its covers. We trust the public will approve of our work, and be lenient in criticism.

'9 9 9 EDITORIAL For the third time in the history of the Benton Harbor High School, the llSwastikall is brought be- fore the plublic,--a record of our, doings in the school- room. All the classes are represented, and we have tried to make it as interesting to them, and as much for them, as for the Senior class, thoiugh the latter alone must bear the praise of success or the blame of failure. It is not to be expected that high school students can publish a book which is entirely faultless, for we know that all people make mistakes. We can but do our best, and trust that each year the oiut-going class will succeed in doing better. The Swastika symbol signihes lgood luck, long life, and prosperity? and we, in turn, can truly wish that our llSwastikaT its namesake, will enjoy the same blessings. The new high school building for which we have wished so long, is no longer a thing of fancy. but a fact. It is. a source of much pleasure to us that the addition was made before we left school, thus enabling us to share in the advantages gained. By the addition, live class-ro-oms, besides the library, of- iice, and large assembly hall extending the length of the building, were added. The physical and chemical laboratories are well equipped, aiding much both the teacher and pupils in the scientific work. The office, made up of two rooms, is a sunny, comfortable spot, and the class-rooms are all bright and roomy. The library is of great assistance to the students and is very popular with them, but it can accommodate many more volumes than it now contains. Perhaps the most appreciated part of the building, however, es- pecially to those athletically inclined, is the gymna- sium. This has been a potent factor in fostering the -' indoor sports in the school, for it has furnished the needed spot for the girls basket-ball practice, reviving their interest in the game, and is a field for informal class games of basket-ball. The inter-Class champion- ship games which started this winter and were held after school in the gymnasium, have aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among the student body. The thing lacking now, along that line, is an athletic di- rector, someone who can take charge of and oversee all the school athletics. There seems to be an idea prevalent among the business men that advertising in a school annual does not pay. Many objections are raised by some of them ; the impression is that no one ever looks at the advertising in the book, and the money paid out for the liadll is thrown away. But we beg to differ. While it is true that not everyone, perhaps, reads the adver- tising space thoroughly, still there are benefits derived. There are a great many pupils in the school who live in nearabV towns or in the rural districts, and each one of these, if he has any school spirit 01.. loyalty. buvs an annual. He takes it home, and his family reads it. A friend may come in and pick up the book. W hile he maV not be exactly conscious of it, what he sees will impiess itself on his mind, and the next time he wants to buy an article. the lladii which he had scanned lightly will return to his consciousness and help him in his purchase. The business man will be benefited, and all through the book which he was kind enough to patronize. Some citizens prefer to expend their money by advertising in the daily and weekly newSpapers. But the newspapers do not last long. They are read one day, and used for kindling the lire a. day or two afterwards, and the notice is gone. In the annual, on the other hand, the space is safe as long as the book lasts, which is for years and years. A dollar and a quarter paid out one year will have Just as much effect five years afterward as at the time the advertisement was inserted. Even if nothing were to he gained in a. business or financial way. the publication should be supported for an unsel- hSll end. the good of the school itself. An institution which can edit a book each year obtains a higher repu- tation than one without such an edition. It shows the inner workings ofthe school, and brings the citi- 3:1: 1111151: cslgiier acrlgnaintance with that system which . 1port y their taxes.

Gone, but not forgotten. Senior Organization. The Freshmen of September, 1903, were not the timid, bashful little creatures of which you often hear. They entered high school with a deep sense of duty, and a strong determination to win. The class was organized as Freshmen about the middle of. September, choosing Daisy Kelley as presi- dent; Harry young as Vice-president; Robert Belknap as secretary, and Harvey Lowe as treasurer. During the hrst few months of Freshman life the class won social distinction and admiration for their originality. Many were the social gatherings that brought each member of the class into closer friendship and made each feel proud to think that he was a part of so delightful an organization. When the class returned the next fall as Sopho- mores, many members were found to be missing and i a few new ones occupied their places. Leon Hill was chosen president; Louise Hogue, Vice-president; Daisy . Kelley, secretary, and J. B. Bishop, treasurer. During this year the social events were even more numerous ' than the year before, more Class enthusiasm was man- ' ifested and more hard work accomplished. The Soph- 1 omore class were singled out as being one after which to pattern. The Senior class were proud to claim guardianship over them and referred to them as be- ing llexceedingly bright and orderly? This year the class won the debating championship of the school. i he class was represented in football, baisket-ball, rack and base-ball by Leon Hill, J. B. Bishop, James Dewey, Guy Moats, Harry Young, Wrill Bastar and Harry Vawter. Upon their return as Juniors many more were found to be missing, still the Class numbered lifty- wo. Louise Hogue was Chosen president; Claron Mark- ham, Vioe-president; Jessie Russell, secretary, and Emmett Taylor,, treasurer. A united and energetic spirit was manifested throughout the year. Besides, the many social functions, many difficult undertak- ings were accomplished during the year. The boys again won honors in the athletic field, this being the year that Benton Harbor won the foot-ball Champion- ship of the state. Again the Class of 1908 won the inter-Class debating championship, and Harry Young won glory in the oratorical line. As the Seniors of 1908 assembled in the new high school building it was with a tinge of pride, for they felt that the under classes, although they did not wish to make an open acknowledgment of the fact, revered and respected them. Emmett Taylor was cho- sen president; Daisy Kelley, Vice-president; Eva Pearl, secretary, and Ralph Cunningham, treasurer. Things now assumed a more serious aspect. Hitherto all had lived happily together scarcely once thinking that there would come a parting of ways and each would take his path. With the realization of the fact that there were but a few more months of high school life for the Seniors, they put forth every effort to make the year 1908 shine out as a beacon light in B. H. High history. The annual is the written record of the year, and by that they must be judged. -L.

The members of the track team surely have 'Varsity caliber, and Myers Hub- bard. who is the champion quarter-miler, manages it very successfully. Roy Montford, the star with the weights, John Barry in the pole vault, and Thomas Thomson, a promising distance runner, are other members.

Then the Junior went to the house of his fathet, whose name was John. the brother of Mike, of the tribe of Benton Harborites. And there arose a great storm, and John sayeth unto his son, HKnowest thou not that thou wast to come home ere the cock crow? But the son spoke not. So it came to pass on the following day, that the Junior went into the wilderness again. But this time not to rejoice: for he feared that he might Hunk in one of his subjects. And at last there was a great noise in the earth, and the Junior looking up beheld a vision. and there came to him a beautiful boy very well clad. The child had come into the wilderness to comfort him. The Junior, seeing the little one, cried out angrily. saying, ttGet thee gone, infant. Knowest thou not that whilst defending you I should,st have been studying ?'i for he was very wroth within himself. At that time another vision appeared, saying, ttAsk. and thou shalt receive.

Freshman Organization. September 4th. 1907, when the heavy doors of the new high school were thrown open. and the sound of bells told us our summer vacation was over. ninety Freshmen entered. along with the other three grades. The First few days we were a little timid and perhaps frightened. but soon grew accus- tomed to the duties assigned us. October fourth. we remained in Miss WYhitney,s room after school to organize a class. Some stayed 'for fun. others from curiosity. lVith the Juniors elp, the class was organized. the constitution read, nd the following officers elected: president, Martin ollins for the first semester. and William Lowe for e second: Vice-president. Clifford Stone; secretary, Larie Goodenough: treasurer, Evelyn Grow; class 4 nselor. Miss XVhitney. These officers have per- ed their duties willingly and faithfully, being id in the highest esteem by the class. i October seventeenth, Miss Whitney chaperoned crowd to Fair Plain, where a pleasant evening was t in roasting marshmallows. We have been, by no means, a slow class, but have entered into the fun with spirit. Friday evening January seventeenth, the Freshmen entertained the Juniors at Robinson Hall, which was prettily decorated in the class. colors. Music was furnished by Hayncsl orchestra. All enjoyed themselves until twelve-thirty dclock, when the strains of tlHome, Sweet Hornell told them it was time to depart. Then again, March 6th, 1908, the same hall presented a lively picture. This time, however, the Juniors were entertaining the Freshmen. The evening was delightfully spent in dancing and other amusements. We have had a number of other entertainments, at which all equally enjoyed a good time. Different members have aided in making chapel interesting for the pupils and visitors, by singing and playing. We have also some good athletes, who hope to enter the regular team in the future. As a class, we have reason to be proud. We have given the faculty very little trouble, have furnished amusement for the higher classes, and most of us have made good records in our studies. --0. P., ,II. A Piece of Orange Ribbon.

And it :Eaat the great game of the season was to he played a; , s.st the Crimsons of a nearby college you might ha . seen him running at break-neck speed down the CQITTUS near the school or sittingr in a corner excitedly chet'izig gum. In fact some one did see him very , often. How many times a day did Sue Melville carry a hit of paper to the waste basket in order to pass the row of windows at the back of the room? How many imaginary references had she looked up just because the book-case in the far corner of the room held en- clopedias and its approach led past those windows? 5 Dick and Sue had had a iitiff '---what it was out no one knew. But there was a decided coolness a the atmosphere and many were the conjectures as the cause of this sudden frostiness. Bob, as chum the former and brother of the latter, had exerted his infiuence to straighten out matters but to no i1. Each side was as immovable and unimprCS- ble as adamant and the would-be mediator had . up in despair. It was the morning of the much anticipated day ccordingly every one was in a bustle of excite- Stores, business houses and dwelling places were swathed in hunting and banners until the whole town seemed to fairly shout orange-and-hlack. The weather was all that could be desired, the air balmy, and cool little breezes blowing suddenly up from the lake. The time was October, but the weather was like June. Sue, in her room at home. stood surveying a heap of orange and black which lay on the bed. Some of the more enthusiastic of the iiFootball Sistersh had decided to show their loyalty by wearing the colors of the home team. However, this ttSisterii meditated and was doubtful as to what was best to do under these iiextenuating circumstances? Here she was, hmadii at Dick, and Dick ttsoreh at her, a great game about to come off, and her presence at a game always an inspiration to Dick tso he had saidy Yet he need not think she cared, r10, indeed! Susie threw up her chin and, stepping to the bed, like Samantha Allen, she tiketched a firm holt on her principles,ivincidentally on her dress-opened the closet door and hung the offending article on a hook. Without hesitation she turned her back to it and closing the door sat down on the bed. a iiNo, he neednit think that I care? she repeated. Of course she did but that was another question.

The rihhon was easily matched and Sue had rly completed her return journey when she was led from the direction of Dick's house by a mas- ine voice. Turning with some trepidation she be- , d M11 ll'estoi: standing on the veranda. Mrs. V ton was away visitingr a sister who lived in Mid- 'i11e, a town a few miles away.

Ohl-dwhy he cant play on the gamelll She had been so busy thinking of. her own troubles. that she had not thought of any general calamity. Struck by the dire thought she quickened her footsteps and almost before she knew it was. aware of a pair of orange socks spinning through space. She stopped. frightened at her own audacity, and watched him. One of the college boys standing near greeted her with a cheery, llHello, Sousa!

You certainly want to go with us and not poke off alone? lilm-ence cast an eager smile at Sue, who had begun to melt and showed signs of future repentance. The idea of a hayrack ride Was a pleasant one while the alternatives of staying at home or going alone were not pleasant. Florence noted the effect of her words and wisely departed leaving the leaven to Work. .Afternoon arrived and with it the startling rev- elation that Sue had lost one of the orange bows to hm.

Their train istled and clanged its bell and started out on its y to Middleville. lWNhew! I'm glad Iim not on that? said Dick, ' gging his shoulders. , llSo am I.'

Maybe I can be there in time for the second half? When they reached the field of action the game had just begun and neither side had scored. Shouts arose from the grandstand and cheers from the side- lines. The air seemed to contain a solid confusion of orange, black and crimson. At the end of the first half the score was five to six in favor of the op- posmg team. Dick was on hand in time to play the second half and in five minutes. had made a touchdown. Susie yelled and waved her pennant to her hearts content. Everyone was excited and the ltCtrimso-nlsll were looking worried. The voices which had been heard behind the wall were conversing upon the sud- den reappearance of Dick Weston. tlI wonder how it happened? said the first. llDonlt know? said the other. llThought he,d think enough of his mother to go and see her if she was pretty sick? llHurnphlll said the lirst.

If she had been in. his place she would undoubt- edly have cried and perhaps stamped her foot and, at any rate considered herself the most abused person 1n the universe. Dick had come to his senses by thls t1mc and said quickly, llThank you very much, Su51e3, How long it was since he had called her that! But she turned with a polite wYou are entirely wel- come? and returned whence she had come. Twenty minutes later the llSistersii in the hay- rack were Hdoing the towni, in their patriotic colors. Everywhere they were greeted with cheers and merry salutations. Susie and Florence Donelly were sitting at the back end of the wagon swinging their feet. The latter ehattered affably but the former was deaf to all noise. She was busily thinking. All her fun had been spoiled now that Dick was not going to play. Probably the visiting team would 'win-just as that mice behind the wall had said. Dick was the one who stood between. them and their hope Olf victory. tlThatis so? she mused, 111 had forgotten about their Hdesire for vengeance?

A very important place in high school is filled by a good literary society. We need in 011T student days, training in public speaking and debating and a knowledge of current events-aims for which every such organization works. Due to its inexperience, the Adelpvhi has not accomplished what it might along these lines, but as its members gain experience, we. know it will become of increasing value to the school. -E.y R.

An ed- ion is as a variable approaching a constant, ilever quite reachingr it. A complete character IS entirely acquired, but it is a satisfaction to V? that by each step higher we lessen the distance f. Now only a part of our education is completed. We have gone only a short way on 0111' journey. As a great l'IVCI' gathers its particles at different sources and carries them farther along, dropping them per- haps. when its banks overflow, so our class Obtained its origin. and as the years have gone by, different members have fallen from our ranks, attracted no doubt by outside interests, but a good share have pssed on through high school. Here some may lin- ger. but it is tO- be hoped that the majority will pass on to the higher inheritance of learning. There are times in everyone's life that stand out pre-eminent among the rest; times when he made many friends and had many associates; times that he loves to look back upon and live over again in mem- ory: times he never thinks of without regretting that they are past. The aim of our class is well expressed in the motto, t'Be and D03, Just two words. yet hOtW much they signify.

These few quietly enjoyed the melon in an arbor on the bluff. The chaperons took a car home, but the majority of the party remained, seated themselves in a band stand and rent the air with their yells and shouts. Finally, as it still cone tinned to rain, they took a car for Benton Harbor. They reached the highway bridge in safety but could get no further because the power was gone. Some became impatient and started to walk, others took a hack, but a few remained, and after an hour's wait were able to continue the journey home. Then, there was the banquet at Robinson Hall, January fourteenth, as a welcome to Miss Bowen, who came to hll Miss Petitis place, and a farewell to Daisy Kelley, who was about to leave for Lansing for the rest of the year. It was through our efforts mainly that the old Adelphi meetings were recontinued. Every election- with the help of the Sophomores, who have many traits like us and who are a patriotic classa-has been carried in favor of our officers. Class Day our green and white banner appeared on the Hag pole. Three boys of the class had managed the night before to climb out on the roof from Miss Farmeris room and hoist it. There it remained all day, an object of envy to the other classes, who did not dare to take it down. Not until almost time for the program were there any Juniors in the assembly hall. Then we marched down- from upstairs; the girls in white with green sashes and green garlands in their hair, and the boys with green neckties. XVe Class History. On September sixth, 1904, we, as F reshmen, ar- rived at high school to begin our ascent of the ladder of learning. After being classihed, we recormoqtered the building to find out what teachers belonged to! the different rooms, so that when classes were called we should make no mistakes. Imagine our disgust and righteous anger on the second day when we were packed Off upstairs, after we had picked out nice comfortable back seats in the assembly hall! The only really Freshman act com- mitted occurred on the first chapel morning. After dismissal, a line of Freshmen poured into the ward- robe, quite ignorant of the fact that the outer ward- rnhe doors were closed. They say it was a very em- harassed line which marched out again. September twenty-hrst, the Junior president called the class together for organization. Strange t0 saV, we were not terrified by the summons as former classes have been.

The morning after commencement, about nine o'clock. the class set out in a hayrack for Poittawat- omie lark. After the picnic dinner dancing was en- iOVCtl. Harry Vawter and Eva Alden furnished the iniisic. About five we started for home, determined to go again next year and have as good a time. 7 One week after school began in 1907 the present Senior class was organized and our officers elected: Emmett 'llay-lor. president; Daisy Kelley, Vice-presi- dent: Eva Pearl, secretary; Ralph Cunningham, treas- urer; M11 Williams. class counselor; and Miss Bowen, clizipei'on. .Xt the second business meeting we decided to publish an Annual which should excel all others in in- terest as well as talent. Those who purchase one this year will find this is true. Two beach parties were enjoyed, one at St. Joi- scph and one at Hig'man Park. The hayrack ride, the supper which awaited us and the pleasant evening spent at the home of Leda Granger will long be re- mcmhei-eil.

A short distance down the hall-way Was the dwelling of Miss Bowen, Filled with vivid recollections Of the many times we'd Hunked there, Flunked. and gone away down-hearted, To return a little later When our lesson had been swallowed And we could recite it better. TIhen there were some other iiT'eachersh In alliance with the first ones; M iss McLeese. who gently taught us All the dry reigns of the English, From the time their country started, And expected us to know them. And not far away, Miss Dewey Helped the children with their Latin, Made them build the bridge with Caesar, Listen to the speedh 0f Cicero, G0 with Vergil on some journeys, And wind up with Composition, Changing English into Latin, Latin back again to English. And Miss Green, across the hall-way, Gave out rules for story-makinor, Rules for English composition, And the scholars had to write them, Tho' their hearts were sorely troubled, For they didnit like to do it.

Debating was again in evidence in the high school this past year, and the rivalry and interest 1n 1t was very great. We had intended to arrange debates between our school and others outside, and challenges were sent out to several institutions. South Haven accepted, providing satisfactory arrangements could he made, but their idea of ttsatisfaetory arrangementsh seemed to be that we should accept their decision on all points. After we had conceded both time and place. and even agreed to sacrihce a scale of markings and trust to the general impression of the judges, an unheard of proceeding in either a regular debating 0r oratorical contest, they refused to comply with our one modest request that the subject be more felicitous- 1y worded, and the debate was called Off. Between the four classes in our own school, how- ever. interesting debates took place. The first one was held in the Adelphi, on January thirteenth, and was between the Juniors and Seniors. The question, TTRe- solved. that the immigration of all people except those coming from the British 1a, F rance, Germany and , hibited? was decided in f, by the Seniors.

One of the most successful events of the yea: and one which brought much glory to the high school, was the min- strel show given by the boys of the school on February 25th.

Robert Si- mon and Pearl Byers, did exceptionally well, never cracking a stale joke throughout the evening. The hrst part of the program consisted of popular songs: ti iNeath the Old Cherry Tree, Sweet Marie, Harry Young ;ttI,m'Saving Up My Money for a Rainy Dayf, Harry Brown; itAll I Get Here Is tMuch Obliged to Youf ,, Calvin Bard; HWo-nit You Waltz tHome, Sweet Home, With Me, Ned Anderson; ttWhat the Rose Said to Me?

Pearl Byers; tiYovu've Got to Be American to Feel That Way? Emmett Taylor. The second part consisted of a Cornet duet by Lester Null and Harold Sessions; songs by 'the Curb- stone Quartette, composed of Harry Young, Harvey Lowe, Ned Anderson and Lester Null, who received great applause from the audience for their clever sing- ing and acting; the skillful buck and wing dancing of Harry Brown and Pearl Byers; and acrobatic feats of Roy Montford, Guy Moats and Freddie Hoffman, which called forth enthusiastic praise. Thus ended one of the best amateur entertain- ments ever given in Benton Harbor, as everyone who saw the show will tell you. Much credit is to be given to Miss Clara Fields, who played the piano at all the rehearsals and helped the boys to success. Har- ry Brown, also, is not to be forgotten, for he success- fully managed the show and turned over a neat sum of money to the foot-bal'l boys for their Bis, Which they certainly deserved. 5.

Christmas vacation came and Mrs. Elliott thought of the Yule-tide of a year ago when they had lived in the big stone mansion on the hill in comfort and in the midst of plenty. XVhat a contrast! A poor little makeshift of a cottage, and a modern stone palace! At Christmas-time last year Mr. Ellliott had been alive and well, fully able to take care of his wife and daughter. He had owned the big stone house, and a good-sized and steadily increasing bank account was the result of his thrift and industry. One night when coming home from 'his ofhce he had been robbed, mur- dered, and left in the road where his body was found early the next morning by a passing pedestrian. Upon looking through some papers in Mr. Elliottis desk, an old mortgage was found. It was due in less than two weeks, and as Mrs. Elliott could not pay it, creditors took charge of the estate. Last year they had plenty of money to purchase presents for friends both far and near; this year no presents would leave the house excepting those which Gracels ingenuity could derive at an exceedingly small cost. She had considerable talent as an artist, but even this demands money. Christmas was to come on Tuesday. The pre- ceding Friday school had closed for a two weeks, va- ' Dumm t cation. Monday afternoon Grace sat by the bay wint- thW, when she saw the postman coming. She rose from her chair and went to the door. He gave her two letters and a postal, and after making a re- mark about the weather, passed on his way. Grace examined the letters. One was for her, the postal and other letter were for her mother. Mrs. Elliott opened her letter first. She gave a cry of joy when a check tlutteretl to the floor. She picked it up, looked at it. and sat as one in a trance for several minutes; then she rubbed her eyes and pinched her ears to see if she was awake or dreaming. The check was made out for one hundred dollars and was signed by John- ll. Morgan. The letter was signed HX. Y. Z3, Mrs. lilliott could not understand. The hand- She knew nobody by the name writing- was perfect. ot john Morgan. aml was not familiar with the writ- ing. She was completely nat sea? The postal was from the local express othee. saying that there was a package there for Mrs. Elliott. all Charges paid. The good woman was so overcome by her for- tune that she failed to notice her daughter. The lat- ter was holding the one hundred dollar bills in one haml, while in the other was a letter signed TTX.

The long ride through the beautiful country, the welcome at Leda's, the good supper, the games afterwards, and the ride home with a full moon-vthese are some of the happy memories of B. H. High clays. Eva Pearl and Zora Inman sustained their repu- tation as hostesses when they entertained the class at the home of the former. Many clever games had been provided and all had a delightful time. The girls especially enjoyed bidding for shadow: partners for the delicious refreshments served by the hostesses. The new gymnasnnn was a te1npt1ng place for a feast. The Senior class had many times longed for a Class supper. The time was opportune and so the Senior Class, to the envy of all others, dined together in the new gymnasium, Friday night, April twentyv fourth. The warm supper was delicious and heartily enjoyed by all. eAfterwards out-door games were played. The Seniors entertained the Juniors and faculty at a reception T uesday, May flfth.

At a late hour the fatigued yet happy crowd drove into town, rend- ing the skies with lusty high school yells. uWhy was it there were no spooky ghosts abroad last night, waiting behind every tree to grab you? queried a number of Benton Harbor citizens, wmuleringly, yet with satisfaction, the day after Hal- loweien. Oh, that was just because so many of the Juniors were out that night, of course? They were going to a party which Miss Mary Uptorfs gen- erous hospitality had made possible for them, in hon- or of Margaret Downing, who was so soon to leave the city. During the course of the evening, many ex- cited and anxious young people learned their fates from a wise old gipsy fortune teller, Only a few being destined to die young.

For years our school has felt the need of an association which would encourage athletics. Foot- ball has been the only sport which has been self- supporting, consequently the other teams have had to resort to the subscription list for their mainten- ance. Last year it was decided that this school should have an Athletic Association before another year had gone by, so a committee composed of Mr. Lester, Mr. Dunbar, Miss Farmer, Mr. Owen and Mr. McClure was appointed to draw up a constitution. This con- stitution provided for the llpromoting of amateur ath- letics and for the support of teams in the Benton Harl- bor High School. and Was signed by twenty-hve stu- dents last year, the required number to put it into Op- eration, in order that work might be begun early I this year. Any student or member of the faculty may be- come a member of the association by paying an initi- ation fee of fifty cents, and dues of hfty cents a semes- ter. Alumni may become member dollars. The members are then i which will admit them to all foot-ug track contests held under the auspi atiO'n. iii ; On September 13, 1907, a the assembly hall for the purpose 1 constitution and electing officers. was adopted, and the following ofli president, James Dewey; Vice-presif secretary, J.

The outlook at the beginning of the football sea- son this vear was not very encouraging, many of the old men having graduated, and there being no coach to drill the team. At first it was thought the best plan would he to play independent ball, but later it was decided to enter the Interscholastic League, and work to keep up the reputation of the school-to win the pennant for another year. A large bunch was out for practice the hrst night, but they were so light it was seen that the team would have to be swift to off- set the lack of weight. During the early part of the season the team had had luck. The hrst two games were played on our home grounds with Niles and Grand Haven. loth were easily won, but the team showed a lack of coaching, and as both games were played in the rain the Orange Sox did not do as well as usual. The old players, Moats. Mon-tford and Hill lived up to their past records in carrying hack punts and making long runs, and Simon. with Hubbard to make holes for hint. went through many times for long gains. In the Grand Haven game Easton played a very good game. breaking up interference, making holes for the hacks. and getting down after punts. Bishop also played well. making long end runs. Then came a game with the second team, com- posed of the boys who will make the team next year. f L They were a great help, for through t1, got the practice it needed so badly. I; time that Howard Morrow, the best Harbor ever turned out, offered to m but as he was not familiar With the ck, back field, this was left to the old men great help to the team and it was due? that so many games were won.

The last game was with the Benton Harbor Col- lege On Thanksgiving. Great interest was taken in the game, as the college had the best team it had had for several years, and the result was in doubt, some thinking the high school would win and some the college. The teams were about evenly matched, and it was an exciting game throughout. Vielehr played the star game, the best he ever played. Every time he got through the line, and it was due to him that not an inch was gained through the cen- ter. The college played good ball, and although they were beaten they have a good team, better than any in this part of the stateewith the exception of the B. H. H. S. Sol ended the season of 1907. We did not win the pennant, but we did show that Benton Harbor still had a team of which any school might be proud, and we hope that the team of 1908-, with Ron Mont- fO'fCl as captain, will do their best to maintain the standard which the teams of ,06 and l07 have set. -R.

The organi7ation of the Foo-t Ball Sisters has ex- iste1l in the Benton Harbor High School for a number of years but ne1er until the year 1902 did it come into much 111111111i11ence. The intent of the organization is to assist in every 11 ay possible the maintenance of the energetic foot-ball spirit. This year the girls were greater in number than ever before. They needed no constitution nor any pledged vows to hold them to their purpose, only the posters for a coming foot- ball game. 211111 each girl felt that it was her duty to 1111 all in her power to help. The girls, however, chose their officers: Eva Pearl as yell-master, Nona 11 111ls1111 as secretary, and Louise Hogue as manager. Many nights of practice resulted in a well trained chorus and bunch of rooters, who made the 11ea11-l11' 1111111111s resound on the still autumn afternoon of a f1111t-l1all game.

Haven Independents ? a team that has pla for the last four or Fwe years, and is an independent team in this part of the statf; was 51 to 26 in their favor. The Independents 0f Coloma were m 1'11 e11 b1vasc01re 0f 21 to 15. '1 The second defeat was administeredi Bend high school to the tune of 34 to 24. On the same trip Culver military academy was played, a school capable of sending out a team as good as any college team in the country. This was defeat No. 3, the score being 34 to 22. But Culver was outplayed in the last half and with their usual good sportsman- ship admitted the fact. All the other games were won by decisive scores. The Coloma and the Searchlight Independents were played, the scores being 44 to 22 and 36 to 13, both in favor of B. H. High. Two games with Buchanan were the last played and both were won, the first by a score of 35 to 27, and the second 74 to I 1. Of the work of the individuals something should be said. Bishop is fast and accurate in his throwing, and always in the game. Dewey is as fine a center as Benton Harbor ever had, being tall, heavy, and a good jumper. Simon is accurate in his throwing and a good guard. Morelock deserves praise as a forward. Young as guard played good ball through- out the season, and though not in a position to make many baskets enabled the others to. do. 30. Because of doctors orders, Hill was not allowed to play until the last of the season. That he is a strong player was shown in the few games in which he took part. Moats,' although iirather small, is very quick, and his accuracy deserves special mention. At the beginning of the season a silver cup was promised to the high school team which could win the .championship of the county, but for some unsatisfac- tory reason this was not forthcoming when the sea- ' son was ended and it belonged to Benton Harbor.

Morlock, Dewey, Bishop Cath, Simon Girlst Basket Ball.. The basket-ball season this year was successful for the girls as well as the boys. The past few years there has been no enthusiasm whatever over athletics for the girls, and the little towns in the Vicinity had gradually come to the conclusion that all the Benton Harbor girls could do was to yell at a foot-ball game. This year, however, probably because of the new gymnasium, the girls turned out well for practice and by the middle of the season had worked up a good team. Mr. McClure was chosen manager and a game was scheduled with Dowagiac, which had the reputa- tion of having one of the strongest teams in this part of the state. Notwithstanding the fact that the girls had Ind little practice and no regular team had been picked, the,l-Benton Harbor girls were willing to meet Dowagiacfpn her own grounds. As might be expected, a they were defeated by the score of 38-0. v Undaimted by this overwhelming defeat, the - girls wenfito South Haven two weeks later and there played the fastest game of the season. Both teams played a remarkably good game, and the outcome was uncertain until the very end, when a cleverly made basket turned the tide of victory in favor of Benton Harbor, with the score of 11 to 12. On the following Friday night a game was played with the Country Girls, 3 team made up of high school girls living out of town, which resulted in the score of 7 to 3 in favor of the hrst team. Another game be- tween the two teams, played some weeks later, was also a Victory for the regular team. On February seventh a return game with South Haven was played at the Searchlight rink, resulting in a score of 4-2 in favor of the VlSltOI'S. Our team was anxious to play off the tie, but Soutthaven would not consent, probably thinking a tie more de- sirable than certain defeat for them. The next game was played with our old rivals, St. Joe, who boasted an unusually line team and ex- pected to utterly annihilate us. But pride goes be- fore a fall, for although St. Joe did their best they were unable to surpass the excellent playing of our girls. . A return game was played with Dowagiac Feb- ruary fourteenth, at the rink, and Benton Harbor re- deemed her former defeat by a score of 6 to 2. A third game could not be arranged. The Berrien Springs Independents, a very strong team composed of experienced players, desired a game with our school and satisfied their expectations by de- feating us, February twenty-flfth, by a score of 10 to 4.

This game was looked forward to with great interest as there was much talk concerning the ineli- gibility of some of the college players and also be- cause two of their men had played on the high school team. According to dope they had the game won long before April eighteenth, the day on which it was played, when the high school proved a surprise not only to the college but to themselves, winning by a score of 12- 6 Except in a few instances the school fielding was perfect and their batting as good Bishop won the game three different 5. by pulling himself out of a 23tight place.1 A mid- -w eek game was played with St. Joe tw enty- eighth, and won by one poii1t,B.H. err seven men over the home plate and St. Joe six.

The track and held season opened this year with the prospect of an exceptionally good team, and al- though last year's men were missed the new ones Hllerl their places well.

Leon Hill was elected the former and Myers Hubbard t0 the latter position. Each has filled his place well. Many candidates were Out for the runs and vari- ous events aml trained hard.
