-The Canoe- Published by the SENIOR CLASS of the Berrien Springs High School VOLUME III 19 23 BERRIEN SPRINGS, MICHIGAN DEDICATION Words are inadequate to express the value of a friend. But, hoping in some measure to show our appreciation of his efforts in our behalf, we, the Senior Class of 1923, dedicate this Annual to our superintendent, class advisor and friend, Evart W. Johnson. 1928 Foreword The class of 1923 appreciates the opportunity to leave behind them this volume of the Canoe as a tangible expression of what we have gained from our high school days.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright September morning, four years ago, twenty-nine green Freshies with high ideals entered the assembly of the Berrien Springs High School, and with a smothered greeting to a chance acquaintance, each tip-toed quietly about, found a seat wherein to deposit their books, and then sat silently awaiting further orders. Soon the teachers made their appearance. To Miss Carter was assigned the special privilege of caring for us, and, under her guiding hand, we soon found ourselves duly established as permanent members of the High School. Then came time for the initiation, but because of our stalwart Freshman lads, the other classes dared not attack us. Parties and weenie roasts made up the biggest part of our first year and then in a surprisingly short time we found ourselves again in school, this time aptly chastised as Sophomores. Several of our party had chosen to take other paths, however, and when the roll was taken, we were minus eight. This year, too, was made up of good times and hard work, but we were used to that, so time flew by all too quickly and our next move was to play the role of Jolly Juniors. Once again we missed six of our number but this great loss was soon somewhat accounted for when Opal Burns joined us. At this time Mrs. Blake took us under her guidance and to her we owe many of our pleasant remembrances. She, with the help of several other teachers, coached us through the most successful play of several seasons, “It Pays To Advertise.” This year will ever stand out in our memory with greater prominence than any other. We had just emerged from the bashful stage and the “trials and tribulations” that commonly annoy Seniors had not yet affected us. We carried off the cup that year, much to the chagrin of the other classes, and from that time on our boys have been foremost in the High School athletics. The Seniors, however, soon became reconciled to their fate, and by spring had condescended to attend the sumptious Junior-Senior banquet which we Juniors had with great care prepared for them. Then after a lapse of a few months we came back to bear the burdens of Dignified Seniors. This year Doris Williams, Thelma Dean, and lone Ramer chose to leave us. During this course our valued time has been divided equally between loyalty, good times, and the proper amount of labor to allow us to graduate as an honored class. In November, Gladys left us, leaving only twelve in number. Our Senior play, “Green Stockings,” met with equally as much success as our Junior play. Mr. Johnson has us under his care this year and we are sure that he is doing his best to enable us to enter our various paths in this harsh world to our greatest ability. A great portion of our worries and time has been spent in the successful production of the Canoe of ’23, and now at the closing of our career, we twelve brilliant Seniors bequeath to Lady Future the sole privilege of providing for us thru our life’s pilgrimage. —Mary Kesterke. “CLASS OF 1923.” Tune: “The Trail to Long Ago.” 1. Class of golden and blue, To our colors we’re true, And ever shall be so. We never were blue, Though our number be few, But now we are loth to go. 11. Sweet memories last, Of the days that are past, Our high school days so fair. We sigh all in vain, Just to wander again, The pathway that leads back there. Chorus. Oh, we shall remember our high school class, Of 1923, Good times shall pass, But memories last, Of those days that used to be. For our old High we’ll always sigh, And say that we love thee, For we shall remember our high school days, And the class of ’23. —By Opal Burns SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1923, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament: We bequeath the Freshies our special right of sassing, without condemnation, any teacher to their hearts content. “Tubby” Deo leaves his brother Elmer his power in oratory.

To Beryl Skinner, the five dollar gold piece that Mr. Johnson has awarded to the one attaining the most speed in typewriting.

To our beloved faculty, we bequeath the following: For Miss Beach, we have invented another constitution for memory work in Civics class. We leave Mr. Huber just a smile for use in the assembly room. To Miss Phillips and Miss Ireland, our thanks for their help in our Senior play. To Miss Blaine, 1,380 theme titles. To Miss Stewart, we leave our appreciation for her services in the music department. Miss Kunzie has our permission to produce as many expert commercial students in the class of ‘24 as she has in the class of ‘23. The Senior class extends their gratitude to Mr. Johnson for his efficient guidance of the Canoe. We hope that Mr. Immel obtains as much good will from next year’s Seniors as he has from us. Lastly, we appoint Fred S. Parks and Arthur B. Check to be the executors of this will. Signed, sealed, published, and delivered by the Senior Class of ‘23.

He bluffeth. My Lord, how he bluffeth. My endeavors have ever come too short of my desires. To scale life’s ladder her ambition. To attain this end by concentration. I might be better if I would, but its awfully lonesome being good. A poet, orator, statesman, doctor and High Protector of the ladies all in one. Oh that I might find words big enough to express my ponderous thoughts. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we may die. Men of few words are the best men. Not by her size- but by her disposition is she to be judged. Friendship, virtue, and every grace, are pictured in this happy face. Of him we may expect great things in the future.

Fairbanks 1923 ¥ CLASS POEM “Farewell.” Classmates with whom our lives have run A peaceful round from day to day How little has our speech begun, Our deepest feelings to betray. Dear teachers all—we’ll ne’er forget Your kindly help in daily work; Your patience when the goal was set, In aiding us no task to shirk. The heights of knowledge we have scaled, The way has oft seemed steep and rough, The summit gained—we never failed To see another still more tough. We all shall keep the mem’ries dear Of joyous times along our way, When we no future task did fear, Nor had a dread of any day. Now comes the parting of the ways, When we must walk in paths untried; But visions of these happy days Will evermore with us abide. “To be, rather than seem to be”, Will be our motto thru the years Until at last success we see, Which puts an end to all our fears. We’ve meant no deed or word unkind, And now all that is left to tell To those dear friends we leave behind Is just this one fond word, “farewell.” —Marie Fleisher JUNIORS 1923 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS (2) Mildred Lein, Pres.

I went into the library and took from its honorary place on the table that little book which I had learned to treasure. 1 turned the well-worn pages upon which the History of the Class of twenty-four wras written and read once more the familiar passages: “The Freshman Class of 1920 had the names of thirty-five very green but auspicious looking youths and maidens on its class-roll. A very odd thing happened that particular fall. The leaves fell before they had turned, but the mystery was solved the first day of school, for they all came tumbling up the walk toward the school building. With hesitant steps they mounted the stairs and filed into the front seats in the assembly room. It was soon discovered that this green mass was composed of thirty-five would-be-educated Freshmen. Before the year was over, however, many of these parts wrenched themselves loose from the mass and were lost by the way-side. The school year, which was uneventful, but happy, flew by on out-spread wings. Parties and other activities dotted the horizon from time to time; then summer came and the mass took on the appearance of wise and jolly Sophomores. The Sophomore year began with a smaller number on the class roll. The first activity of the class was to extend to the Freshmen a hearty welcome in form of a weenie roast at Smith Lake. Later in the year other parties were enjoyed and with spring came the entrance into the events of the Track Meet, and then the close of another year. The first school day of 1922 brought back to the old school-house eighteen lively and ready-to-work Juniors. Mildred Lein, assisted by Francis Housam, Ethel Shafer and Walter Ewalt, together with Miss Beach, the class advisor, were chosen to guide the class of 1924. A few of the class’ contributions to the high school activities were a Hallow’een party; the first B. S. H. S. Football captain; two members of the girls’ basketball team; and a most successful farce, “Daddy Long-Legs.” The last duty of the class of 1924 as Juniors was to help the worthy Seniors to graduate, and this accomplished, we proclaimed ourselves, “Dignified Seniors.” As 1 replaced the book in the library and returned to my seat by the fire-place, happy youthful faces danced before my vision, and 1 dwelt once more in the Day of Used-To-Be. —Loraine Sattler SOPHOtlORES i92a SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS (4) Ethlene Johnson, Pres.

We made our entrance into High School Society on that memorable occasion when the Sophomores entertained us at Smith Lake, where we were duly hazed. A Halloween party known as the Freshman-Sophomore Reception was given later at the home of our esteemed president, Florence Bohleber. All who were present recall that event with pleasant memories. After that, we settled down to work in earnest. The monotony of school work, however, was relieved during the winter by frequent parties. In spite of the fact that we were forced to spend a great deal of money for roses and pickles in the spring, there still remained in our treasury enough money to give an All Fresh Outing party at Cedar Crest. The last big event of our Freshman year was Field Day. Our valiant efforts to retain the cup were in vain, however, for the Juniors triumphed. Thus we ended our Freshman career, eager to enjoy the longed-for vacation which would give ns courage to come back another year and rule over the ardent Freshies. The green paint, which the Class of ’21 had so kindly willed us on entering the High School, had faded and now we at last could hold our heads high. We were disappointed when we learned we had lost Mr. Arink and certain members of the faculty, but soon found their places were well filled. We had a few days to get adjusted before we organized our class. Mr. Huber, the science teacher, was appointed our class advisor, Ethlene Johnson “nabbed” the president’s chair, Donald Hinkley the secretary’s, and Florence Bohleber became treasurer. Our first big event was the annual party for the purpose of welcoming the lonely Freshies. A party was held early in October at Pennellwood, and the greater part of both classes were present. We went over in trucks and autos at about 4 o’clock. On arrival the boys engaged in a paw-paw fight started by the Sophomores, and of course we were the victors. We served our guests to hot dogs, buns and mustard, and after the “eats” we welcomed the Freshies in numerous ways. We took a great interest in athletics and furnished our share of players on the football and basketball teams. This is the advancement of our craft through the calmer waters of the Sophomore year to date, and we look forward with anticipation to the time when we will be upper classmen. —Dorothy Painter, Robert Eidson FRESHMEN FRESHMEN CLASS OFFICERS (4) Robert Pennell, Pres.

Under the guidance of Miss Beach and Mr. Johnson we all managed to find a seat, wherein to rest and calm ourselves a bit before venturing to explore our magnanimous quarters. Miss Ireland was appointed our class advisor, and with her help we soon became accustomed to our surroundings. After a week or two, the other classes began to realize that we might possibly amount to something in time, and accordingly the Sophmores entertained and initiated us until our timidity had vanished, and we became full-fledged Freshmen. We seemed especially talented in athletics and music, to wit: We furnished two members for the football team, three for basketball, and two of our girls played in the orchestra. The faculty and upperclassmen intrusted several assembly programs to us and we eagerly demonstrated our ability on the stage. A Sophomore-Freshman debate came later, and although we lost to the Sophomores, we showed them a good fight. Our first year is now ended and we hope that in days to come, the other classes will recognize our worth. —Violet Abel ATHLETICS FOOTBALL TEAM Top Row— Lloyd Minnich Harold Palmiter Glenn Kinney Mr. Huber Middle Row— Elmer Deo Ellmore Pratt Lyle Billett Carl Erlandson, Captain Walter Bell Russell Eggert John Feather Bottom Row— Raymond Deo Absent— Gordon Mandigo Richard VanPatten FOOTBALL A strong attempt to organize a football team was made at the beginning of the year, but as the boys knew nothing of the game and most of them were unable to stay after school for practice, the matter was dropped for about three weeks. Then Joe Betchek presented the boys with a ball. Almost immediately new interest was aroused and in a surprisingly short time the boys were practicing with great vim and vigor. Suits were sent for, games were scheduled, and after eight nights’ practice, the boys took additional courage and met Coloma on their field and put up a gallant fight. The score was 20-0 in Coloma’s favor, but the boys were well rewarded in the second half, as they were able to play on the offensive, due to the excellent work of Minnich and Kinney in tackling. About two weeks later, they played a game with St. Joe. In this game, Palmiter promised to aid us by being a fast full back. The score was 45-0 in favor of St. Joe. The schedule next brought our team in contact with Niles. All the boys worked hard, and Kinney and Palmiter made excellent showings, but this game, too, resulted in a defeat for our team, the score being 99-0 against us. However, the boys proved to us that they were good sports, by showing renewed interest in their practicing. The next game for the team was with Coloma on our field. The opposing team came with high hopes and much confidence in themselves, but in a short time their happy-go-lucky manner changed to one of intense anxiety. This time they had met their equal—perhaps their superior, for our boys had practiced and were familiar with the many pointers that tend to make up the game. Point after point was made for Berrien, while Coloma did nothing. Toward the end of the game, Berrien showed them a new trick, when Kinney made big gains around the end. When the referee called the second half off, the score was 20-0 in our faver. This was the last game of the season, and the boys turned their attentions to basket ball. The prospects for next year are bright. Eleven of the fourteen players will undoubtedly be back and many new recruits are sure to appear. Line up Right End................E.

It is true that the Green and White squads failed to defeat several teams the latter part of the season, but we were handicapped by the loss of three regular first team men, Falmiter, R. Deo, and E. Deo. It seemed as if luck were against us and, instead of being favored by Fortune, we were continually visited by her unwelcome daughter, Miss Fortune. The new team played together in good form, well supported by the second team, and it was just good luck that won some of the games for our opponents. Although three men are lost by graduation this year, the addition of some excellent Freshman and Sophomore material, and the return of several old players makes the season of 1924 appear very promising.

Many of the girls were familiar with the game, having played in previous years, and the interest and enthusiasm of the rest made up for any lack of experience. From this promising material the 1922-23 team was chosen with Loraine Sattler as captain. Miss Blaine was appointed coach. The line-up of the first team was as follows: Forwards, Frances Housam and Margaret Feather; Jumping Center, Florence Bohleber; Running Center, Opal Burns; Guards, Loraine Sattler and Dorothy Painter. When Opal Burns found it necessary to drop out at the middle of the season on account of sickness, Jeannette Bryan took her place as Running Center. Due credit should be given to the second team, which furnished players for several games and helped to make possible the successes of the 1923 season. The following players made up the reserve team; Jeanette Bryan, Hazel Shriver, Ethlene Johnson, Marjorie Murphy, Marie Parketon, and Mildred Lein. Credit should also be given to the student body and outsiders, who have given the team their loyal support through both victory and defeat. B. S. H.

MUSIC “Music moves us and we know not why, we feel the tears but cannot trace their source. It is the language of some other state born of its memory.” The music department is living up to its good reputation, as is shown by the work which is being accomplished. Some of the special features of the department this year are—the Boys’ Glee Club, with an enrollment of 20, the Girls’ Glee Club, which numbers 38, the Orchestra, the Chorus of mixed voices, the boys’ quartette, and the girls’ sextette. As a proof of the good work the glee clubs are doing, a musicale will be presented by them, near the close of the year. “Fays of the Floating Islands”, a cantata by Bliss, will be given by the girls. The boys will present an operetta by Wallace, entitled “Uncle Sam’s Boys in Camp.” Both glee clubs have furnished entertainment at various school functions during the year. The officers of the Boys’ Glee Club are—Russell Eggert, President, and Raymond Deo, Secretary, and those of the Girls’ Glee Club are—Opal Burns, President, and Loraine Sattler, Secretary. The enrollment of the music department this year shows a remarkable increase over that of former years. The orchestra too, has been untiring in its efforts, and is a credit to our school and community. Their hearty co-operation in the Junior and Senior plays is highly appreciated. We are deeply grateful to our instructor, Miss Stewart, for the interest she has shown in this department, and by her patience, words of encouragement, and ever-smiling face, she has won a place in the heart of every student. —Opal Burns GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Top Row — Loraine Sattler, Secretary Dorothy Brown Mary Ewalt Ethel Shafer Fern Parketon Ruth Boal Opal Burns, Chairman Marie Parketon Leona Stover Cecil Parketon Florence Williams Marguerite Kinney Middle Row— Helen Dilley Frances Housam Mildred Sherwood Mamie Hansen Leona Spaulding Mildred Lein Marjory Murphy Florence Bohleber Martha Krause Betty Kelly Jessie Gorham Mildred Shafer Mary Handy Ardys Nelson Bottom Row— Jeanette Bryan Olga Trimble Marie Fleisher Kathryn Fryman Miss Stewart Margaret Feather Beryl Skinner Mildred Dubert Hazel Schriver Absent—Mary Kesterke Bertha Kesterke BOYS1 GLEE CLUB Top Row— Charles Clem Vernon Evans Albert Jesswyne Wilson Morgan Nelson Harrington Middle Row— John Feather Donald Hinkley Lloyd Minnich Elmer Deo Harold Palmiter Lewis Rhodes Bottom Row— Raymond Deo, Secretary Laurence Lauer Russell Eggert, Chairman Miss Stewart Ellmore Pratt Walter Bell Lyle Billett Absent— Walter Murphy Russell Slight Dick Stover Earl Minnear Herbert Stineback HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Standing — Miss Stewart Harold Palmiter Donald Hinkley John Feather Seated — Leona Stover Elizabeth Kelly Bertha Rindfield Frank Willis DRAMATICS JUNIOR PLAY ’22 The Junior Play of ’22, “It Pays To Advertise,” was one of the liveliest plays ever produced by the High School. Rodney Martin, son of a soap king, his secretary and advertising agent, Ambrose Peale, and his fiance, Mary Grayson, decide to put Rodney’s father out of business. The whole affair starts when Cyrus Martin, the father, hires Mary Grayson, an attractive young business woman, to induce his son to work. Rodney and Mary fall in love, and plot against the father. The new firm has no assets and plenty of liabilities, but they struggle on determinedly, depending on the “power of suggestion—the psychology of print” to save the day. They carry on an immense advertising campaign, and after several narrow escapes, they win out, persuading Mr. Martin that “The 13 soap— Unlucky for dirt” is superior to plain, pink castille, and, furthermore, proving to the local dealers that it does pay to advertise. These characters were effectually supported by the rest of the cast.

Judy Abbot has been in an orphan asylum all her life until she finally rebels against the matron, Mrs. Lippett, and wins the sympathy of Miss Pritchard, who has long been her friend, and Jervis Pendleton, a wealthy trustee, who sends her to college without Judy’s knowledge of who he is. At college, Judy rooms with Sallie McBride and Julia Pendleton, a niece of her benefactor. Here Judy becomes acquainted with Jimmie McBride, whom her guardian thinks is a little too friendly with Judy, and Mrs. Pendleton, who thinks Judy of too low parentage for her daughter to associate with. Judy spends her vacations on a farm and here gets to know Jervis Pendleton very well. The rest of the play deals with the trials of Judy and Jervis, for although Judy loves him, the question of her birth holds her back. At last she goes to Daddy Long Legs, as she calls her guardian, for advice and finds that he and Jervis are the same person and that he has always known her past life. Much success of the play was due to Miss Beach, Miss Kun-zie, Miss Stewart, and Miss Ireland for their instructions, and also to the Boys’ Glee Club and the Orchestra for their music.

Celia Faraday, eldest daughter of a well-to-do English family, tired of the slights of her acquaintances, invents a husband to avoid having to wear a third pair of green stockings at the wedding of her youngest sister, Phyllis. Custom demands that an elder sister don green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister if that younger sister captures a husband first. As soon as Celia announces her engagement, the shelf-worn goods are lifted down, and Celia becomes the center of attraction. The situation becomes embarrasing, however, when her “fiance” learns of their engagement and returns unexpectedly. Celia has great trouble explaining matters. Nevertheless everything turns out happily in the end, in spite of misunderstandings, as they fall in love in approved fashion, and “live happily ever after.” Cast Admiral Grice.......................Frank Willis William Faraday...................Raymond Deo Colonel Smith..............Russell Eggert Robert Tarver....................Laurence Lauer Henry Steele........................Lloyd Minnich James Raleigh......................Elmore Pratt Martin..............................Glenn Kinney Celia Faraday........................Opal Burns Mrs. Rockingham.....................Clara Penland Lady Trenchard...................Margaret Feather Phyllis Faraday.................Ruth Boal Mrs. Chesolm Faraday................Marie Fleisher 1928 Society The Boys’ Glqe Club gave an Easter party at the school building Friday night, March 23rd. Each boy invited one of the fairer sex to be his guest and Miss Stewart, Miss Blaine, Miss Cahow, and Mr. Huber acted as chaperons. The lower hall was artistically decorated in yellow and green. After all the guests were assembled each couple was given crepe paper with which to construct cans to wear during the evening. The prize was awarded to Margaret Feather and Walter Murphy. The entertainment consisted of various games, unique stunts, and music. Much merriment ensued when it was found that supper partners were to be secured by untangling an immense cobweb of string. Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served cafeteria style and were eaten in Miss Roth’s room where small tables were tastefully decorated with green crepe paper and daffodils in keeping with the general color scheme. Wednesday, March 14th, was the day set by the winning team of Latin I class to have a St. Patrick’s party given them by the losing team. Things began humming around seven o’clock at the high school. Games opened the evening’s entertainment. Stunts ensued, among which were: “Famous Hung-Wang Acrobats,” starring Mildred Main and Helen Yore; and “An Episode in Darky Town,” with the following cast: Mrs. Rastus, Beryle Skinner; Liza Jane, Jesse Gorham; Sambo, Leon McNally; Black Joe, Earl Minnear, and George Washington, Robert Pennell. Ice cream and shamrock cookies were served. Among the other various interclass activities are listed these parties: Freshmen-Sophomore weenie roast at Pennellwood. Senior-Faculty party at Cedar Crest. Sophomores entertained by Freshmen at the school house. There will soon be a banquet given to the Senior and Faculty members by the Juniors. Friday evening, November third, the high school was the guest of the Junior class at a Hallowe’en masquerade, which proved to be one of the most delightful social affairs of the year. Kind reader, come with us a moment as memory pulls back the curtain, and we are once again at the festive occasion. We find at the main entrance a “Detour” sign, lighted by a Jack-O’-Lantern. We follow it, and make our entrance by the perilous way of the fire escape. We are then escorted to the lower hall where the company are assembled. A strange transformation has taken place in the pupils of the High School. In place of timid Freshmen, sassy Sophomores, studious Juniors, and dignified Seniors, we now have clowns, ghosts, sailors, soldiers, and Indians. There in the crowd we see Uncle Sam and a Lady from Spain. Two of the husky members of the football squad are attired in gowns belonging to the fairer sex, and wear them well, too. One of the Senior girls impersonates “da boy from Rome” even to the small black moustache. Where are the faculty members—hidden behind some false face or wig of hair—red perhaps. Prizes are awarded to Florence Bohleber, the Spanish lady, for the most beautiful costume; and to Raymond Deo, as a Dutchman, for the funniest costume. Games are played. There is a grand march, singing and much laughter. And then comes the “eats”—cider, doughnuts, popcorn, and apples. More music and then “good-night”. We leave the cornstalks and pumpkins in possession. Perhaps the ghost of Hallowe’en held a midnight revel there. Who knows? Miss Blaine’s verdict (for Seniors especially)— Tell me not in mirthful numbers Teaching is a blissful dream, For the students ofttimes slumber. And they say not what they mean. A Joke Editor took refuge under a straw stack. Lightning hit him on the cheek, glanced off, and killed a mule a hundred yards off. Marie Fleisher (coming from class meeting)—“If there isn’t twelve of the most contrary people I ever saw.” Note: Only twelve in the class. Clara P.—“I don’t care for men, in fact, I’ve said no to several of them.” Russell E.—“What were they selling?” Some guy is the boy Wilson Morgan. He is something on the line of an organ, He peals away The livelong day The wonderful boy Wilson Morgan. “She is all wrapped up in her home.” “Perhaps so, but she wears evening gowns at outside functions.” Did you ever notice how easy it is— To guess right every time in Latin ? To get a hundred every day? Not to forget anything? To show Dad and Mother a card with F’s on it? To make up excuses for those absent days? To chew gum and swallow it when Mr. Huber has room charge? (ask Dorothy Painter) To look happy before exams? To hand in papers on time? To write notes ? (inquire of Pal-miter) Whew! I’ll say.—R. Deo. Mr. Huber (after reading an article in paper)—“Guess I’ll have to lose a leg; here’s a girl that gets $6,-750 for loss of leg in a railroad accident.” Other Party—“Do you figure you could get that much?” Mr. Huber—“More.” O. P.—“How so?” Mr. Huber—“Mine’s longer.” She—“It must be awfully nice to be wise and know everything.” He (a graduate)—“It is.” Miss Blaine—“ ’Fess up now, that you boys like talkative girls as well as you do the other kind.” Russell E.—“What other kind?” A Saying of the Wise:— Anybody could make themselves quite popular with the girls by inventing a hair un-bobber. Mr. Huber—“Alvin, didn’t you ever make a mistake?” Alvin—“Ha! Ha! Not as big as that? Ha! Ha!” Mr. Johnson—“What does Connoisseur mean?” Pat Morgan—“I don't know.” Mr. J.—“What is a man that pretends to know everything?” Pat—“A Professor.” You can lead a horse to water, But you cannot make him drink. You can lead Fryman to class, But you cannot make him think. Advice to the Freshman:— Don’t hand papers in on time, you might inconvenience your teacher. Don’t wear your self out asking questions. Never go to class unless you feel like it. When you want a friendly chat go into the assembly—it was provided for that purpose, and those present will be glad to converse with you. Don’t imagine yourself perfect until you become a senior then you will have attained dignity along with the rest. If F’s on your card you have written, You had better tend to your knittin’. If they appear anymore, You sure will be sore, And rather be standin’ than sittin’. Herbert S. (on eve of Glee Club Party, pausing and scratching his head)—“She said it was a black house, but there is three of them in a row.” Miss Kunzie(in bookeeping class)— Raymond, your proprietary interest does not agree with your financial statement.” Tubby—“H’m, must be some mistake.” There’s Tubby Deo, Who’s getting so fat, That every three months He buys a new hat. —Mildred Sherwood. “Ki” Erlandson says that the most wonderful thing in the world is a beautiful woman, but most any woman would do. Dick Stover came in from the city. He saw what he thought was a kitty. He patted it’s back and said poor little cat, And they buried his clothes out of pity. Frank Willis (to Tony Palmiter at orchestra practice)—“Gee, I’m a fast guy.” Tony (surprised)—“How come, How come?” Frank—“Time flies.” Tony—“Quite so.” Frank—“I beat time.” Look! Whats that? A dagger covered with blood? Nay! ’Tis an English book stuck in the mud. Lawrence L.—“Its a great comfort to be left alone—especially when your sweetheart is with you.” Miss Phillips—“Do you understand French ?” Mary Handv—“Yes, if its spoken in English.”' Miss Beach (in Biology class, looking at the skeleton of a polliwog)— “Oh, we are fearfully and wonderfully made.” Miss Blaine (in Ancient history)— “Who was the first man?” Herbert S.—“Washington, he was first in war and first in -----” M iss B.—“No, No; Adam was the first man.” H—“Oh! If you’re talking about foreigners, I guess he was.” Miss Kunzie (in commercial Arithmetic)—“Why, Dick, I’m surprised that you can’t multiply those numbers! Now I’ll bet Robert Eidson could do it in no time.” Dick—“I shouldn’t be surprised, they say fools multiply very rapidly these days.” Marie P.—“How far were you from the right answer?” Margaret—“About two seats.” Florence Bohleber (looking aghast at her conjugation of a French verb) —“Oh, I’ve mixed my imperfect past with my future.” Mr. Johnson—“You’ve got a poor brain.” Max Kesterke—“My brain is in very good condition. I don’t use it much.” Betty Kelley—“Can you compose in five flats?” Miss Stewart—“I don’t know. I haven’t lived in that many yet.” Marie Fleisher—“The man I marry must be square and upright.” Clara Penland—“Aren’t you after a piano ?” Carl Erlandson—“I smell burning rubber.” Mr. Huber—“Get your neck away from that lamp.” The favorite song of the cribbers is “ Oh, Pal Why Don’t You Answer Me?” When Miss Phillips finds it out she starts singing “Your Eyes Have Tcld Me So.” The song during Play Practice is “Three O’clock in the Morning.” Our closing song will be,“We Pick Our Friends, So Watch Your Poc-ketbooks.” Jrek Parketon (in chemistry class)— “What effect has CO 2 (carbon dioxide) on the nose?” Mudge Murphy (from back of room) —“Huh—just takes the powder off.” A Boy’s Dictionary: Smiles—A sort of wireless signaling arrangement in which the senders use a secret code—A woman’s weapons. Tears—Water drops turned on for the purpose of flooding a man’s emotions. Powder—A subtle dusting over of the rough spots, and a sanding of the slippery spots. Rouge—A timely blush. A voluntary co itrol. An effort to imitate the bloom of a peach. Indifferent—A come-hither look in the eye given over the shoulder. Wink—A hole in the ice left without a danger signal. Compliments—Honey collected by the queen bee—feminine flypaper. Heart—A gold mine of human affections of which there is no way of telling whether the claim has been worked before. —Raymond Deo, Joke Editor. Athletic Club JN all ages since history began, the Nation that left its footprints in the sands of time has invariably been a Nation of Athletics—the Greeks and Spartans were such. So it goes without saying that mental development goes hand in hand with physical development, as a weak body cannot maintain a strong brain. This is where the Berrien Springs Athletic Club will fill a long felt want in this community. As it is not possible for each and every young man to own a gymnasium at his own home, the only way he can secure the benefits of such an institution is to join the Berrien Springs Athletic Club. J.
