For this reason we have set up a stone, a rude one, but well set in the earth. And though the sea rise and fall while we are busy with other things, yet when with tottering gait we wander again by the sea of thought, we shall see the worn stone marked CANOE, and smile as we remember these days. In consideration of these facts, we, the class of ’25, wish to dedicate this, the fourth volume of the Canoe, to our Fathers and Mothers who have guided us through our youthful days up to our present situation, and to the Faculty and Lower Classmen who have so kindly aided 11s in the publication of this book.

This, however, does not hold true of the members of the class of '25, who, twenty-three in number, wandered into the Berrien Springs High School on September 4, 1921, with the realization that they were merely “green freshies. Soon the Sophomores aided us in becoming acquainted and feeling “more at home” by entertaining us at Smith Lake. Several other parties and similar activities helped to brighten up our way during the dull winter months. Thus we trudged through our first year's course and were glad when the summer vacation arrived. By the beginning of the next school year our so-called greenness had somewhat faded and we were obliged to proclaim ourselves as faithful Sophomores. Although Mr. Arink and Miss Carter had left us, their places were well filled by Mr. Johnson and Miss Beach. Several of our members had left us but another. Ethlene Johnson, joined us, whom we chose as our class president. This year consisted of several interesting events, the most striking one being that the other classes were compelled to acknowledge us as the best salesmen of tickets for ball games and plays. In reward for this we were each treated with an ice cream sundae at the expense of the other classes. This year having come to a close we looked forward with anticipation to becoming “Jolly Juniors.” The third year, as in that preceding, several of our number were members of the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams. In November we showed our gratitude to the other classes by giving an all-school party which was very successful. We co-operated with the Senior class in the presentation of the comedy, “Nothing But the Truth.” in which our esteemed president. Gordon Mandigo. was the principal character. Another contribution of our class to the school activities was that Dorothy, Ethlene. Robert and Gordon participated in debating. After giving a banquet for tbe Seniors and tbe Faculty, and helping the Seniors to graduate, we with pride closed our third year of High School life. In the fall of 1924 we again entered our Old High with refreshed minds and clear consciences. But this time we were “supposed-to-be-dignified” Seniors, possessed of high ideals and ambitions of attaining success in the business world. Because of the fact that Jessie Gorham. Florence Bohleber, and Alvin Pfeiffer had chosen to leave us, our number had dwindled down to fourteen, but one of the places was filled by Glenn Briggs. Two of our members, Ethlene and Robert, were successful members of the debating team. About the beginning of the second semester we began working on the Annual. This year, as before, our class shared in athletics. On April 23 and 24 we presented the comedy, “Seventeen,” which proved a great success. Now we look forward to graduation with keen interest, but darkness falls upon us as we think of leaving the good “old pals and our dear “old High.” MAMIE HANSON MARY EWALT Page Nineteen THE CANOE..... Class Prophecy It is a springy night in 1940—one of those heralders of spring that brings back memories of ardent youth.

We finally righted ourselves with the gentle, though firm guidance of Miss Beach and Mr. Johnson, our prof. Miss Ireland was appointed as our class advisor. According to’all customs we were “invited to an outdoor party at Bohleber’s where we were ambushed by a group of ambitious Sophomores on the warpath and the last of our greenness vanished. Now we felt fitted to the long four-year task that lay ahead of us. Several of the boys and girls fell by the wayside but others were joining us so as to keep the balance. Robert Pennell was made President, Elmer Deo, Vice-President, Betty Kelly, Secretary and Helen Dilley, Treasurer. Many activities dotted our way and when finally the High School picnic was held and school ended we felt grown up Sophomores. Due to our experience gained while we were Freshmen, the next year we quickly organized ourselves under the following officers: President, Robert Pennell; Vice-President. Jeanette Bryan; Dorothy Brown, Treasurer; Wilson Morgan, Secretary. As it has always been the privilege of the Sophomores to initiate the Freshmen we started to make preparations for this great event. Imagine our disappointment when we found that initiation had been banished from our High School. Argument was of no avail and so we have remained the last class initiated into the Berrien Springs High School. The next September we came back to school ready for hard work for we all realized that to be a Junior meant work and we were also fired by the thought that next year would bring a reward for our labors. Miss Warn was made our class advisor and the following officers elected: Jeanette Bryan, President; Joe Miars, Vice-President; Hazel Shriver. Secretary; Robert Pennell Treasurer. October 27 we gave an all-school Halloween party at the school house. Everyone came masked and prizes were given for the prettiest costume. Miss Warn received first prize. The proudest moment of our High School life came on the nineteenth of December, on which date our Junior rings arrived. We were so excited that we could scarcely enjoy the Christmas program. The Seniors gave a play and let us participate, thus calling it a High School Play; although it afforded us no money, it gave us fine experience for next year. The week after the play, the Juniors gave a Carnival, helped by the other classes. Besides other attractions, a play was presented. We cleaned up quite a pile of money out of this, and after giving a banquet to the departing Seniors, called ourselves Seniors and were ready for the next year and gradu ation.

THE CANOE. Sophomore History A greener bunch of “Freshies never entered the Berrien Springs High School. So green, in fact, that school traditions were broken and our initiation was not permitted. On the second day a class meeting was called and officers elected. They were Hazel Heim, President; Dorothy Dean, Vice-President; and Jerry Man-digo, Secretary and Treasurer. That year many students came in from the country. For instance: Sharpe, who came from the school by the little Red Barn, and Alden Jones, an economic chap, who found the only course given was Home Economics, in which he readily enrolled : also William Forbes, a bashful little laddie, who cried almost all of the first day, until one of the Seniors gave him a picture book of farm animals. At the close of the first semester a number of the class dropped out. Among these were Helen Hiding, Earl Deck and Marie Johnson. Two parties were given that year. One was a St. Patrick’s party for the Freshmen only, and the other time we combined our forces with those of the eighth grade and had a weenie roast at Lake Chapin. At the end of the year there wasn't a Freshman in the class that didn’t think himself perfectly capable of handling his father's business. As proof of their ability, Dorothy Dean made the Basketball team. Sharpe made the Football team, and many others of the class were on the Football Reserves. This year the same old spirit manifested itself only in a greater degree. Page Thirty THE CANOE Page Thirty-one Freshman Officers James French Lucille Harrington Katherine Judd . .

THE CANOE Freshman Class History In the fall of 11)24. thirty-four verdant and ambitious looking youngsters sauntered into the Berrien Springs High School and enrolled as Freshmen, as though they were the only ones who had ever had that privilege. We were forced to accept a rather conspicuous position under the beaming countenance and watchful eye of the Principal. Under this handicap we valiantly endeavored to resemble the upper classmen and look any color but green. After the registered disapproval of our upper classmen, and a few other conditions of little importance, we organized our class under the direction of Miss (Money our class advisor. Three members of our class made a place for themselves , on the basketball team and one of our boys is a member of the football team We displayed our talent as stage-managers one morning for the assembly program. which was thrust on us by the teachers. As the year progressed we became less deserving of the title. Freshmen, and in the following year we are sure that we will be worthy of the name. Sophomore. FRANCES HARRINGTON.

Miss Warn (.Coach). Dorothy Mattes. Robert Pennell. THE CANOE Debating “Resolved, that the United States should grant the Philippine Islands a complete and immediate independence.” Such was the question for discussion that marked the advent of Berrien Springs High School into the Michigan State Debating League. The League consists of a group of about one hundred anil fifty schools who debate among themselves upon four different set dates. At the end of that season a small group of the best teams is chosen. These argue until all except one are eliminated. Thus the champion is chosen. Early in October twenty “would-be orators gathered to make a beginning of the season. Eleven of these, upon finding the amount of work required, dropped out. Five of the remaining nine belonged to the Affirmative team and four to the Negative. About the middle of November tryouts were held. Mildred Main. Robert Pennell, and Wilson Morgan placing on the Negative team, and Ethlene Johnson, Robert Eidson, and Gordon Mandigo on the Affirmative, thus eliminating Dorothy Manes, Bertha Sparks, and Clara Hoekstra. The first debate was held at Buchanan on November 21. between Berrien Negative and Buchanan Affirmative teams. Overjoyed at the 2-1 decision in our favor our Negative team prepared to meet New 1 roy here on December 12. Over-confidence on our part, and an unexpected method of argument on the part of New Troy spelled our downfall by 2-1. A practise debate between Berrien’s Affirmative and Buchanan’s Negative, scheduled for the next week, had to be cancelled because of the extreme antics of the weather man. On January 15 the same Affirmative team was scheduled to go to Coloma. but hard luck must have knocked at the latter's door, for they cancelled the meeting, thus giving Berrien a unanimous decision. On January 22, St. Joe Negative came to Berrien for a practise debate, and overwhelmed our Affirmative by a 3-0 vote. Directly after this Wilson Morgan was placed on the Affirmative team in Gordon Mandigo s place. On February 13. Buchanan Negative and Berrien Affirmative teams met at Berrien Springs, each of them standing an equal chance for the elimination series. A hard fought argument ensued, ending with Berrien on top, 2-1. Thus we ended with a sum total of eleven points. 1 he next week notification was received that all schools having a total of twelve points would be entered in the eliminations. Hard Luck! 't et not so bad for the first year in a group of 150 contestants. Much praise should go to Miss Beach and Miss Warn who coached the teams on to their success. ETHLENE lOHNSON. Page Thirty-seven ..THECANOE The High School Play A delightful and fitting play was presented by the members of the High School under the auspices of the Senior class on April 23-24. The class of ’25 sponsored a play which was not only exquisitely human but also a representative masterpiece of modern drama. This play was Booth iarkington s ' Seventeen.” It is the tragedy of William Sylvanus Baxter, that he has ceased to be sixteen and is not yet eighteen. “Seventeen” is not an age. it is a disease. In his heart William knows all the tortures and delights of love. But he is still sent by his mother on errands of the most humiliating sort and depends on his father for every nickel, the use of which he must justify before he gets it. “Silly Bill” fell in love with Lola, the “Baby-Talk-Ladv.” a vapid little flirt. To woo her in a manner worthy of himself (and of her) he steals his father’s evening clothes. When his wooing becomes a nuisance to the neighborhood. his mother steals them back, and has them let out to fit the middle-aged form of her husband, thereby keeping Willie at home. But when it comes to the “Baby-Talk Lady’s” good-bye dance, not to be present was unendurable. How William again gets the dress suit, and how he wears it at the party, and how Genesis discloses the fact that the proud garment is in reality his father's, makes up the story of the play. The play was ably directed by Miss Cloney and Miss Lance, to whose skillful leadership its success is due. Music was furnished by the High School Orchestra. THE CAST.

THE CANOE Football Berrien Springs—105! Opponents—55! 1 hat certainly sounds like a suc- cessful football record. Such was the result of the 1924 season. In fact it is the best record yet made by the Green and White in the pigskiiy sport. The team started off in fine fashion, swamping the St. Joe Seconds by a 40-0 score. Perhaps this was bad for the boys for the next game was with one of the strongest machines in the section, namely Niles. The game, scheduled with their seconds, turned out to be with their firsts. Berrien scored first but later they weakened under the heavy pounding of the Maroon and White eleven and lost 13-6. Hard luck was responsible for a 7-6 loss to Watervliet. Coloma displaying a brilliant passing attack took 11s down to a 7-0 loss. Three Oaks was next in line and the Green and White determined to end her run of losses. She did so by beating them 27-7. The biggest game of the year was with Buchanan. In it we received our worst blow of the year. Playing rings around their slower machine, we were steadily bearing down on their goal. Captain Joe . iiars was running’back a punt and had woven through half of their team when he was brought to the ground by three men. He was carried off the field with a broken leg. Disheartened but still full of pluck, tbe Berrien eleven fought its way to the Buchanan goal and was on the one foot line with two downs to go when the half ended. This was too much for the lads and a couple of trick plays spelled defeat, 13-0. Playing without a captain we met Coloma again. The game was scheduled late in the afternoon and by the end of the third quarter it was dark. Coloma ever watchful for an advantage, pulled a long pass and—another loss. Watervliet next took the field against Berrien. After a hard fought battle the Green and White downed them 13-7. Our last game it Three Oaks was another scalp in our belt by a 14-0 score.

THE CANOE Boys1 Basketball After a short week of practicing Berrien opened the season with Eau Claire and took a hard fought battle for a 12-11 win. Niles took us down in a close guarding game by a score of 11-13, while our second team, first team substitution, named the Super-Varsity, spelled defeat to the Niles Seconds, 14-6. Baroda was our next victim and was defeated 36-11. The Super-Varsity won 12-1. In the next game with StevensvHle the Varsity lost by a 5 21 score, while the Super-Varsity took their first loss 9-24. The Green and White seemed to have a losing streak and was beaten by Bridgman 9-25, but the Super-Varsity made a comeback and took Bridgman Seconds’ scalp by a 16-14 win. Again the next week Bridgman took us into camp by a score of 12-20. At last the Berrien quintet came out of their slump and took a 44-7 win from Watervliet. But Eau Claire staged a comeback in a ragged game 7-32. New Troy was our next contest and the home team again won 27-6. A return game with New Troy was held by a close margin of 16-14. It was next that the Super-Varsity played the Galien Firsts to a standstill by a score of 30-12. while the Berrien Thirds took the Galien Seconds down 13-10. Meanwhile our first team was playing Benton Harbor Seconds and winning 16-13. Stevensville again defeated 11s 17-24 and the Super-Varsity lost 6-17. Unusual interest was manifested locally by the two closing games of the season between the first team and the Super-Varsity. Flaying,unusual basket ball in the first game, the Super-Varsity or second team defeated the first team, much to their chagrin, by a 5-4 score. But the first team staged a comeback and managed to defeat the seconds 16-13. in the second game. The season closed unsuccessfully by two games between Baroda and Three Oaks at the tournament at Bridgman. LINE UP 1st Team .................. ... Center .............. . .

To the players who made up the girls’ Basketball team the “spoils meant bringing home the ‘‘bacon after every game until the close of the season, without a defeat to mar the team’s record. For the first time in years, Berrien Springs High School produced a girls' team whose archer events won them the title of champions. To Miss Mcjury, who was appointed coach, belongs a large measure of the glory of the team. Through her persistence against individuality and insistence on team work and good sportsmanship an unbeaten team was produced. The team members were: Hazel Shriver, Captain and jumping center: Cecile Parketon, running center; Jeanette Bryan and Dorothy Dean, with Clara Hoekstra as substitute, forwards: Dorothy Painter, guard; with Doris McNally and Loraine Dean alternating at the other guard. Much credit must also be given to the members of the second team. Only-through their cooperation could the final goal have been reached. The first game with Eau Claire was a 22-7 win. The second game at Eau Claire was won by Berrien 14-2. New Troy fell down in defeat once 14-0 and the second time 9-0. Baroda took the next loss by a 51-0 score the first game and a 26-0 the second time. Next Bridgman fell 28-3. such a hard loss that a second game was not deemed advisable. Most of the players are coming back next year and it is the sincere wish of the student body-, which has given the team its loyal support, that the coming season may be as successful as the past.

I bey practiced consistently for several weeks and represented the school well in the Berrien County Class B Track Meet held at Berrien Springs. The hoys won the meet by a close margin and the relay team won the banner in a fast race. The team, backed by the business men of the town, went to the Kalamazoo District Meet. There they made a good showing against many larger schools. Two weeks later, with the same support, they went to Lansing where valuable experience was obtained by the hoys. In 1925 nearly all of the old team, with some newcomers, was out on the track in the spring. This team went to Western State Normal Track Meet and made an excellent showing. Third place was taken from a field of eighteen schools. As this'goes to press the prospect for a victory in the Berrien County Class B Meet is very good. ELLMORE PRATT.

Typewriting, Commercial Law and Arithmetic. All these courses aid us in securing knowledge of the great business world.” For the past year the department has been very successful under the instruction and supervision of Miss Lance. Approximately fifty students selected subjects from this course this school term. Typewriting has been an interesting feature this year. This was shown by the participation of the three students, Bertha Kesterke, Ardys Nelson and Bernadine Brown in the annual typewriting contest held in the St. Joseph high school. April 25. The honor of third place was won for our school at that time by Bertha Kesterke. Robert Pennell. Robert Eidson and Loraine Sattler under the supervision of Miss Kunzie, who was the instructor in this department for three years, also won third place in a similar contest held at Buchanan last spring. The Shorthand class of ’24 offered the two contestants, Dorothy Painter and Ethlene Johnson, in the Shorthand contest also held in Buchanan last spring. Dorothy Painter won second place. No students entered the Shorthand contest this year. About one-third of the students enrolled in the Commercial department are members of the Bookkeeping class. This course of study requires five complete sets and many intervening exercises. The students who have completed these requirements are well versed in the art of making a systematic record of business transactions. This department is fast gaining popularity among the student body and its practicability is well shown by the number of students who are now specializing along this line in schools of higher education or holding respon-sponsible office positions after completing the course of study here. Among last year's students who have followed this course are: Ethel Schafer. Mildred Schafer. Fern Parketon and Mildred Dubert who are attending the South Bend Business College: Frances Housam. Florence Bohleber, Ethlene Johnson, who are doing office work. BERTHA KESTERKE THE CANOE Manual Training Manual Training was offered to the boys of the Berrien Springs schools for the first time at the beginning of the school year of 1924-25. At this time a well appointed and fully equipped wood working shop was opened to the boys of the seventh to twelfth grades. The shop is located in a pleasant, well lighted basement room. The equipment at present is for woodworking only. There are sixteen individual benches on which are found a full equipment of tools required in the ordinary tool processes encountered in the course as carried out at the present time. If at any time tools are needed that are not to be found on the bench there is a large tool cabinet in which is found a supply of various tools to which the boys have access. A large locker cabinet extends across one side of the room. Here each boy is supplied with a roomy locker where his work is kept separate and under lock and key. Shop work is a required subject in the seventh and eighth grades but in the High School it is an elective subject. During the first few weeks each boy followed out a prescribed course consisting of exercises in which the fundamental tool operations were used. After finishing these exercises the boys were allowed to choose any project which they cared to make. Approximately three hundred projects were completed by a total of sixty boys who were enrolled during the year. Among the projects completed are to be found articles that might be classified under the following heads; household mechanics, farm mechanics, radio, camping, furniture, athletics, gardening, seed testing, poultry raising, bee keeping, outdoor sports, repair work, toys and wood finishings. The general aim of the course has not been to produce skilled workers but rather to give a general training to the boys to increase their outlook and broaden their development; to teach them to appreciate neatness and accuracy ; to furnish industrial information, to develop originality and creative ability; and to furnish opportunity for physical activities not had in the class room. MR. BEDINGER. ...THE CANOE Agriculture Department The Agriculture class started its second year's career with Mr. Lytle as instructor. The course selected was Animal Husbandry. This course deals with the origin and care of both animal and poultry life. After completing the introduction and making the acquaintance of our new text book, we were required to enter a judging contest held at Benton Harbor. Here we judged grain, fruit, and poultry. From this, efficient work was proven as a result of the high scores brought home by each individual. Immediately after the contest we resumed our work in the text book, making elaborate preparation for judging animals from a new system of score card. Actual study of animal life on trips to some of the more progressive farms proved to be of great value. Each case was influenced by balancing feed rations for the animals. Students found this to be very helpful on their home farms. Botany was taken up somewhat. This dealt with the growth of plants and the various fertilizers used in this locality. With this Biology was taken up. We studied the different insects which affect this locality. We owe much of our success to the co-operation of farmers, who furnished seed for more thorough investigation into the germination tests for this year. We hope in turn that our results were of great value to them. Milk was obtained from all parts of the community and was tested with accuracy. Much time was also spent in testing soils and seed corn for various farmers. We hope the feeling developed will be allowed to continue in the future and as a result we shall obtain a department of practical value to both student and farmer in our High School. VERNON E. EVANS. THE CANOE... Music The Music Department consists of two glee clubs, the orchestra, and their “shadows,” i. e. the First tirade Orchestra, all under the supervision of Miss Corey. The Boys’ Glee Club has thirty-five members. Last year, under the direction of Miss Sherrod, they gave an operetta entitled, “Captain Vanderhum,” Wilson Morgan and Harold Palmiter playing the leading parts. It is a tale of the sea. Captain Vanderhum, a brave and courageous pirate has a bounty hanging over his head. The cockswain of a certain sailors’ crew takes it upon himself to capture the pirate. The wiles of the Captain are many, and when he at last dresses up as a beautiful woman and vamps the cockswain, the height of humor is reached. This year the Girls' Glee Club presented “The Feast of the Little Lanterns. a picturesque production of life in a Chinese Lourt. Princess Shan has lost her brother and sister. Her father's will provides that if one of them is not found by a certain date her property will be confiscated. At the last minute a band of jugglers comes to her garden. Among them is a beautiful girl who at length turns out to be the sister of the Princess. The Orchestra consists of eight pieces and has furnished delightful entertainment on various public occasions. To the First Grade Orchestra we look for our future “Great Musicians.
