Page two sa Foreword To all who have accomplished a ■worthy task, memories are a great source of pleasure. During our four years of High School life, we have been forming the foundations of memories of the days spent in old Berrien High. If. in the years of the future, we can read this booh of memories and bring bach to our minds pleasant thoughts of High School days, we believe that our task shall not have been Page three Table of Contents Dedication 2 Foreward 3 Class Poem 5 Class Song 6 Faculty 10 Classes 13 Activities 31 Athletics 39 Departments 49 Class Poem The spring is here, the time of good cheer. And all the trees are green. Across the marshy meadow we hear the robin's call. And the blended notes from a thousand throats of happy birds unseen But in spite of this gladness there's a sadness somehow. For our High School days are o’er. The ringing hells no more call hack Our feet to the old school door. But have we come to the end. we ask? Ah no. we have still far to go. We have only climtied the foothills Which are still far below The mountains; and our road Leads straight that way. “Is it rough? You ask. Oh. yes. sometimes. But it’s rougher if you stray. So keep your eyes on the heights alxive. Look not longing behind. There is plenty of room at the top. classmates. For those who are willing to climb. The way may he hard, the path may l e steep. But never give up in despair. As you journey along your heart will grow strong. Far below you will leave life's care. There are those who are willing to help you. There are those who have hel| ed you before. Let us not forget these happy days. But keep them in memory's store. —Wilured Pai.mer ’2 • THE CANOE' Class Song (Tunc of Memory Lone) VERSE: School is going. Skies are gray; Happy Futures, Are on the way.

Stewart Superintendent Superintendent’s Message To all who glace at these pages. Greetings! You will belong to the great throng of individuals who are friends of our's both known and unknown to us today. Some of you are underclassmen, and others are Alumni gone out from Berrien Springs High School in former years; some are teachers, some parents, and others, friends of our friends. Yet others will come in later years and search these pages for a glimpse of the school day countenances of those who will have liecome close to them. This l ook is a reminiscence—a memory album of twelve years of life to each of twenty Seniors of this year—-twelve years of such vital, such impressionable living that whatever is accomplished for good or wrought of evil in the years to come will, in large measure lx the outcome—the fruition of ideals and precepts inculcated or of complexes develojxd during these years. Will these memories be satisfactory to the Twenty? And will the faces of friends in future years lieani happily at thought of these twelve years? We trust—“Yes!” But for good or for ill the die is cast. Such is the tremendous im|x rtance of this great American institution, the Public Schools. Such are its terrifying responsibilities. There is not a home it has not influenced or may not touch. Lives are moulded here to a degree which we scarce dare suspect. The very principles of government rest secure or tremble in the balance as the instruction of the youthful years is sane or warped. W herever your lot is cast, readers—whether Friends or Twenty—we greet you and urge that in reminiscence this thought remain with you. I he Public Schools where your twelve most impressionable years were s|x nt are likewise in your community demanding your support and challenging your most careful consideration and attention. For yourself the foundations are already laid, but what of the under-classmen with us today and those to come from your offspring tomorrow? The schools build the Nation of the future. There lies your path of duty. The Superintendent Pate tii ns THE C ANOE The Faculty LEIGHTON, FLORENCE—English Alma College STEWART, E.

Page seventeen I I IK CANOF. Senior History It was one of those lonely evenings of that terrib'e winter of 197.3. As I sat by my fire and listened to the storm raging over that bleak Alaskan Coast, memories came rushing hack to m ■ 1 ke she'ls n a bombardment. At last these memories so flooded my emotions that 1 sprang to my rad o and flashed a message to my servant, in my M chigan home, to transmit that little leatherette lx ok. so dear to my heart. 1 then hurried to my receiver and took out that well worn volume of the “Canoe of '27. ith a sigh of joy 1 once more relaxed hv my fire and soon liecame deaf to the roar of the I kzzard without. As 1 glanced eagerly over its mentor al contents I cante to “ 1 he History of the Class of ’27 and read: “Twelve venrs ago: In that dim and hazy fall of 1915, seven of our present ‘Dignified Seniors' entered the Berrien Springs Kindeigarten. Wouldn’t it he interesting to know who they were? Their names are Dorotha Dean. Dorothy Manes. Walter, Bernadine. Bertha, and the ‘Gtaham Twins.’ Six years later. Jerry joined the class. In the eighth grade, when Dot Dean decided to travel south for one year. Annette entered. “The next year, a hunch of meek l'ttle Iambs made a grand dive into the great sea of mystery, better known as Berrien ICgh. After recovering from the first shock, we decided it would he a good (lea to l ave some class officers. With Hazel Heim to tow the boat, Dorotha Dean, her ass'stant, and Jerry Mandigo. to keep the ‘Capital of the Crew.' we started navigat'ng. Two parties were held on hoard ship that year. By vacation t me. several of the sailors had been caught in the undertoe. The next rear, with our increased intoligence. we took the worthy name of Sophomore. Dot Dean became our I asketl all heroine. Several of us met the great men Hercules and Ceasar. “At the third lap of the nice, the number of passengers had greatly diminished. hut two. Zora and Mildred were added. This year. Annette went to Vicksburg, but. as they all do. sooner or later, she came lack to graduate. Our activities began by inviting the other ships to jo.n in an ‘All School Party. Soon afterward the Seniors gave us a ‘Backwards Party.' Then came the 1 rooming success. 'Clarence.' Bill Forbes was a typ cal ‘Clarence.' During this year, we found out we had some talent in the class. Dorothy M :nes was the soloist. Bertha the violinist. Mildred the pianist, and Inez and Bernadine were the new basketball sharks. Our next duty to perform was to gve our valuable assistance to the graduating class. The Jun'or-Senio- Banquet was one of the most brilliant affairs of the spr'ng. After th s we fe't we were qualified to be called Seniors. “The long-looked-forward-to-year arrived! We paced the deck as examples for the poor Freshies. We discovered that there was another soloist. ildred Palmer, who entered last fail, and an ther reader. Genevieve added to our list of ‘Artists.’ This year we we e proud of our record with Walter, Alden. Bill. Leo and Harold, our stars in basketball. After the publication of the ‘Canoe and the presentation of ‘Stray Cats.’ the latte he ng a kn :ck out.' we cn led our high school career. As I finished reading and softly closed my book, visions of happy faces flitted across my vision and ever the roar of the storm could not arouse me from the happy memories of youth.

We showed good judgment in choosing Miss Cloney for sponsor and in electing the class officers who were: Victor St. John. President; Kathryn Judd. Vice-President; James French, Secretary; and Frances Harrington. Treasurer. We had our two class parties at which we behaved remarkably well, so you see we were learning. M ilomar (Bill) Skinner liecame our hero on the boy’s basketball team and has l een so ever since. We were equally proud of Loraine Dean and Doris McNally on the girl's team. We. as Sophomores in '25. elected Mr. Conrad sponsor and Kathryn Judd. President; Victor St. John. Vice-President; Frances Harrington, Secretary, and Loraine Dean, treasurer. Me had lost all of that greenish tinge and our upper class-mates acknowledged that we might get to lie Seniors some day. Me had the usual class parties and invited the Freshmen to one of them while they in turn, invited us to one of theirs. The parties were great fun. but of course, we weren’t allowed to initiate the “Freshies much to our disappointment. We still had the same ones plus some more on Ixith the boy’s and girl’s basketloll teams, although | erhaps some of the players were only on the second team, their prospects were g xxl. hen Kappa Psi was organized, two of our class-mates, Frances Harrington, and Kathryn Judd, were invited to join. It might lie added that they promptly accepted the invitation and liecame charter members. OFFICERS Page twenty-four -—THE CANOE— Class History—Con. Now we are “Jolly Juniors’' with never a care or worry except that one hard subject. Miss Warn, as usual for lucky Juniors, is our class sponsor. The first semester we elected Howard Ingleright. President; Arthur Busse, Vice-president; Doris McNally. Secretary; and Francis Harrington. Treasurer. The second semester: Francis Harrington, President; Arthur Busse. Vice-president; Alden Krause. Secretary; and I raine Dean. Treasurer. We gave the annual High School Party and as it was Hallowe’en, we had a masquerade. Our Junior rings came on the twenty-ninth of November and we surely were the happiest hunch of Juniors that ever were, and especially when Mr. Stewart agreed that they were the best look:ng class rings that he ever saw. Of course we knew they were the l est. hut it's nice to have others say so too. My! But weren’t we proud of our two basketball Captains? Bill Skinner. Captain of the lxiy’s team, and Loraine Dean of the girl’s. Juniors! Think of that! Also we have added another member of our class to Kapjxi Psi. Virginia Palmer, and again we are well represented in the High School Orchestra. Instead of giving the customary class play, we presented the film “The Passion Play” at the theatre which was a decided success. Soon after the banquet we gave the Seniors, our fond hope of being dignified Seniors was realized. J.,ej eis Kathryn Judd. Top Row—A. Iiusse, A. Krause. H. Ingleright, W. Skinner, L. Smith. F. Mason.

After a few days of strict ruling, we knew that gum chewing, sassing the teachers, and whispering were not quite the proper things to do. After settling down to real work, we organized as a class, with Miss Cloney as Advisor. At an “All School Party” given early in Octolier, we were inducted into the mysterious ways of the High School. We. as a Freshman class had many good times together, along with the Latin and Algebra, that first year. Among those to lie rememliered longest, are the two Freshman and Sophomore parties, the Christmas party, and the Freshman Assembly. This year only twenty-five came lack as “Studious Sophs. Although some had chosen other jvaths. two joined us. Mary Fletcher and Max Hamer. Again we had Miss Cloney as our Class Advisor. We furnished our share of students in all the school activities. Dougan played on the first team, while Paul Knight and Richard Jones were on the second team, in lxn’s lwsket hall. Mary Fletcher, and Dorothy Priddy played on the girl’s teams. Roger Robinson was “Star Saxophonist of the orchestra. Margaret Eidson was a Kappa Psi debator. while Jim Haggerty was the all school Cartoonist.

Page twenty-seven THE CANOE- Romance of a Freshman And it came to | a. s that, on the fifth day of the ninth month of the vear. a little Freshie entered this marvelous place of learning in the town of Berrien Springs on the l� ank of the river St. Joseph. And when he entered, he looked all round and alsiut him and marvelled at what he saw. Then this little Freshie liehekl a Sophomore approaching and his soul was filled with glee to see such a wonderful character. He fell down on his face saying. “I pray thee, what can I do to lieconie a member of this institution? And the Soph sjjake unto him saying. Get thee hence into the study hall up on the third floor and enroll. We will show thee tonight at the fourth hour how to liecome a member.” And the little Freshie wondered at all these sayings. All through the day. Jackie wandered here and there, to and from classes enlisting help from the dignified and accomplished Seniors to show him whither he should go. He was very learned now. for when night came he knew where all the pictures, drinking fountains, and trophies that were collected together in this building. It hap] ened at the fourth hour in the afternoon he was out in the front of the school building waiting to Income a memlter. Then came this learned hunch of Sophs, and did take Jackie with the other Freshies and they did go to the Grove on Chapin I ake in this town. Here they washed Jackie's face with wet leaves and when they had washed one side of his face .he turned the other side also to l e washed. And when they had laughed and made merry, they were hungry, but no one had thought of refreshments, so they were liewildered. Finally one girl gave them five weenies, three buns, and one dill pickle. The multitude did eat thereof and were filler!. About the sixth hour, they did go home hilariously singing. “Xintynine green liottles a-hangin' on the wall. And the little Freshie saith unto his mother as he strutted in. “Day by day. in every way, I'm growing wiser and wiser.” And she did smile and say. “I thought perchance, you might l e. but l e of good cheer for if thy head can stand it without bursting for two more vears. there is hope.” MM of ‘27 OFFICERS Page twenty-tight ---THE CANOE- Mildred Anstiss, Gladys Violet Arend, Anthony Barrett.

Class History On Septeml er 7. 1(J26, there were about thirty-two eager youngsters, who came trotting to school, regardless of the taunts of “Hello Freshie” which reached their ears. They entered their first year of high school with a determination that will carry them far. We are very proud to say that the School Veil Leader was selected from the Freshman class and that we have two l oys and one girl who play on our basket 1 all teams. They may say that the Freshmen are “Green if they wish, hut listen to this! We have two niemliers of our class in the orchestra and one on the baseball team. The rest of us boost them along in the games. We had a successful Christmas party. The evening 1 egan with games, and a musical program followed. Luncheon was then served, and the exchanging of gifts concluded the events of the evening. We are now doggedly wrestling with “gerunds in English Class, and we feel that soon we will he able to talk “Latin” with the “Romans. We s'ncerely hope that we can continue through the remainder of our high school career and that we may l e able to make our parents proud of the little “Freshies” who started in high school in 1926. Although our class has decreased to 27. we still have our high school spirit, and are well equipped for the future. Lorita M. Smith Theora M.

I found an old volume of the “Canoe.” As I was looking through the worn, ink blotted pages, 1 saw the picture of Kappa Psi, the society organized just thirty years ago, 1925. This is the History 1 found: “In the early fall, we were organized by Miss Helrigel, our Debate Coach, and Miss Beach, the Manager, as the Debate Booster’s Society. We immediately decided on the name Kappa Psi. The charter members were all those interested in debating. Then the requirement for membership was an average of B, which was afterward raised to B plus. “Last year, Berrien Springs was blessed with an excellent coach, and debating team. Under the auspices of Kappa Psi and the coach, much enthusiasm in de bating was created. The team, composed of Robert Pennell, Dorothy Brown, and Wilson Morgan, gained twelve points in the preliminary debates, which entitled them to enter the eliminations. This won for the school a bronze medal given by the Detroit Free Press. “This year our coaches and sponsors are Miss Warn and Miss Leighton. It is to be regretted that we had to give up our hopes of another successful debating season. Nevertheless this is only temporary, since Kappa Psi has been trying to aid the coaches in working up material for next year. The question, “Resolved: That the government should control the coal mines,” was delated by members for an assembly program in February. The teams were: Affirmative, jerry Man-digo. William Forbes, and Dorothy Manes. Negative: Margaret Eidson. Raymond Hoekstra, and Wildred Palmer. “In our meetings , there are three parts, Business, Educational, and Entertainment. We discuss the topics of the day and literary works of interest. As “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy we had a few parties, a waffle supper, and an annual lxinquet, and a final picnic.” As 1 read this it brought back old memories, and I immediately phoned Bernadine. We decided to have a reunion. Mildred Marsh Senior Play The Senior play, Stray Cats, which was held in the town hall April 7 nnd 9 was a decided success. A record crowd attended the play both nights. In following the play from start to finish, each spectator forgot his worries and cares. The fortune of an eccentric aunt was left to Dick Skinner, provided he was married on or l efore a certain date. In case he was not married, the first of his two cousins, Tom or 1 larry, who was married, should receive it. The will was not found until late so this gave them 14 hours in which to he married. After proposing to three girls. Dick married his office girl at eleven fifty-eight and received the fortune. Bill Forbes proposing was a good example for any bashful suitor. The success of the play was due to Mrs. Neidlinger’s faithful coaching. The characters were: Dick Skinner, a photographer......

Girl’s Chorus A new music course was offered last fall known as tlie 1 . If. . A., which means Theory. Harmony. Voice, and Appreciation. We have Theory on Monday. History on Tuesday. Voice on Wednesday and Thursday, and Appreciation on Friday. About seventeen girls enrolled in this Course with Miss .Alice Chitwood as teacher. Theory is the study of harmony or technique of music. Although we do not expect to become com| osers by taking this course, it really is helpful in singing and playing, to know the fundamentals of music theory and harmony. Music History is an interesting account of early music and its development up to the modern com]x sitions. We also study the lives of the famous composers. Chorus days are happy ones. Many beautiful and noted songs have been mastered among which are “Gypsy Song.’’ from The Bohemian Girl;....I'o a ild Rose.” by MacDowell; “My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice.” from “Sampson and Delilah”; and “The Bells of St. Mary’s.” by Adams. Music Appreciation gives to the students the art of appreciating the really “Worth While compositions by noted composers. In connection with Appreciation work a Music Memory Contest was given. On Mav 19. and 20. the Chorus gave the Operatta. “Windmills of Holland, by Carlington. Margaret Eidson Pane thirly-seven ________THE CANOE____________ Top Row—H. Steinbeck,L. McNalley, T. Angel!, K.

At that time we numbered twenty-eight. With Robert Pennell as President we struggled through our Freshman days, trying our best to look like grown up high school students. Long before we enrolled for our Sophomore year we were deeply attached to old B. S. H. S. When the roll was taken the following September we found that five of our classmates had not returned. This was somewhat accounted for when Mildred Main and Thomas Angell joined us. Instead of the usual initiation we invited the Freshmen to a welcome party. The next fall we came hack to school ready for the hard work of our Junior year. Marguerite Shearer and Martha Krause had entered our ranks. We started our activities by giving an all-school Hallowe’en party. In place of presenting the customary Jtuvor play we were allowed to hold a Junior Carnival which resulted in a successful demonstration of our business ability. Our Senior year promised to he very eventful. Realizing that this would he our last year of High School life, we eagerly entered into the school activities. We furnished participants for debating, basket hall, football, orchestra, and both boy’s and girl’s glee clubs. Our Senior play. “Turn to the Right.” was very successful and we were all rewarded for the time and effort put on it. At the close of the year Bertha Kesterke was chosen Valedictorian, while Robert Pennell and Dorothy Brown tied for Salutatorian honors. W'c wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Seniors of '27 for allowing us a place in their annual. It makes us feel that although we have graduated we are still a part of old B. S. H. S.

Coach Stanley came to us in October and working with our l oys evenings while coaching Freshman football at Notre Dame University. During the winter he continued coaching us while working on his Masters Thesis in Boy Guidance. Coach Stanley served as coach in High Schools of California for two years previous to his return to his Alma Mater as assistant football coach. His record out there was verv satisfactory and the work he did for Berrien Springs was notable. To take a team of green material and develop it into the smooth-working combination shown by Berrien Springs this year is a feat to be proud of.

Captain and Center was one of the best all around Basket Ball players Berrien Springs has produced for some years. Besides out-jumping most opponents he had a good eye for long and under the baskets shot and made a high percent of his free throws. Bill has another year with the team. Dar Dugan, left forward. Dugan was high point man of the team. We arc-glad that he will he with us for the next two years. Walt Spaulding, right guard. Walt received honorable mention as all district guard at the Niles district tournament. We regret losing him this year. Bill Forbes, left forward and running guard. Bill played a good consistent game at both | ositions. He was the most dependable man on the team and his loss will be greatly felt as this is his last year. Warren Hoopingartner, otherwise known as “Hoppie' our fifteen year old freshman guard played a very good game as standing guard. As this is his first year he will be back with the squad three more years. Tony Barrett. A1 Jones, and Lynn Smith composed the reserves. It was with their aid that the first team won their games. These boys also were stars on the second team. We are glad to say that with the exception of 1 Jones we have the others for the next two years. Pa$r forty-one Basket Ball ’27 The first call for basket hall men was answered by about sixteen fellows. Contrary to most squads, they all stayed by the team, and came to all the practices. Much enthusiasm was shown by all the men. The first game of the season was played with Stevensville. The boys put up a game fight but lost by the narrow margin of 12-14. December 2. Eau Claire came here for our first home game. They went back “without the bacon.” The score was 21-11. On December 10. we met Buchanan on their floor. Our Ixivs retained the lead until the last quarter when Buchanan’s quintet “broke through” and won 26-14. The next game on December 17. was played with New Troy here. Although tlvcv played a hard game, we won with a score of 29-13. The Alumni came and played us a game on Decemlter 30. and, true to tradition, they came off second best. The score was 8-16. January 7. our lx ys again played the “bast Bridgman Five,” and met defeat at their hands with the score 20-7 at the final gun. We defeated Waterveliet here in a fast, close game on January 14. with a margin of 12-10. January 16 saw our second defeat at the hands of Stevensville with a score 13 to 9. January 28, Buchanan played us a return game here. For the first time in fifteen years we defeated them 19-17 in a hard fought game. We went over to Eau Claire on February 4.Although they were very confident of winning, we took them in to camp for the second time with an 18-13 score. February 11. in the first game with Baroda here, the lxjys came out of it and played one of the fastest games of the season. We won 35-9. February 18. we defeated Waterveliet on their floor, 27-6. Our boys were playing much l etter brand of basket ball since the Buchanan game. It gave them the confidence they needed to make them a winning team. On February 25. we turned defeat! into victory. Under Baroda’s low ceiling it was a very hard game and a fight to the finish. We won by a very small margin of 8-7. March 4. the first squad played and defeated St. John’s Academy here 14-5. Our seconds played the local Independents defeating them 26-16. At the end of the season, the total jxiints for Berrien was 246 against 215 for the opponents.

In the first game with Buchanan we played three over-times, before they were able to make a basket, winning by two points. They also won over the first squad in a regular game 9-11. The fight and determination was the most noticeable things about the second squad. Xo matter how far ahead, or how much better the other team, they did not know how to give up. Pa lie forty-three —THE CANOE- Girl’s Basket Ball I )ear V---: You see that I am keeping my promise by writing a letter teliing you about the recent girl’s basket ball season. When Miss Cloney sounded the call for candidates, about twenty girls responded among whom were four old players. After about a month’s practice we opened the season by playing the Alumni with a victory of 4 to 1. Upon hearing the final score, we immediately staged a comeback with the girls and two weeks later, we played another game, scoring another victory for ourselves, the score being 11 to 8. Although the Three ()aks girls didn't have a regular team, they consented to play us. so on January 6, we met them on the basket ball court. The result of this game was. Three Oaks 1; Berrien Springs 26. ................ The following week we met and conqured the Edwardshurg team, by piling up a score of 24 against their 8. Buchanan next in line! Although our knees might have been shaking when the game started, they had forgotten all of this when final whistle blew and announced another victory for us by the score 14-5. About this time, the girls were thoroughly discouraged. We could find no teams who would play us. Our strong guard. Inez Steinbauer. was laid up with an infection in her knee caused by a floor burn during the previous game. Nevertheless, the girls faithfully came to practice and on February IS. we went to Ed-wardsburg to play our first and only game on a strange floor. Although the team missed Inez, they had made up their minds to “bring home the bacon” and did so. They left 16 for Edwardshurg, and brought 32 home to show the rest of the mem-I ers of our High School. '1’he team which played the season was composed of Mary Fletcher. Jumping center; Ruby Painter, running center; Inez Steinbauer. and Bernadine Brown, guards; and Dorotha Dean, and Loraitie Dean, forwards. The girls played excellent team-work, and when it came to making baskets the girls were dead shot. As a closing statement, this was a season of decided victory. Every game was won and the total numl er of [joints was: Berrien Springs, 111, against the opponents 46. Well, so long. fteniadinc Rrou'ii Faye forty-lour THE CAX )E--- Hazel Schriver Captain.

Girl’s Basketball ’26 Many ambitious girls appeared on the floor when the whistle blew for the first practice of the season. Most of the girls were familiar with the game, having played previous years. 'Their knowledge of “The fight for the Basket. and the enthusiasm of the rest to learn, made our chances for victory look encouraging. From this group was chosen the 1925-26 team, with Hazen Schriver as Captain, and Miss Cloney as Coach. The line-up fo rthe team and subs, was: Jeannette Bryan. Dorothea Dean. Loraine Dean, forwards; Hazel Schriver, center; Cecile Parketon, Mildred Main, side centers; Inez Steinbauer. Doris McNally. Ruby Painter, guards. Much credit should be given to the second team and others who came to practice, for they made it ix ssible for the team to work up for the games. Credit should also be given to the student body and the “town fans who gave the team much support through victory or defeat. SCHEDULE B. S. H. S. B. S. H. S. B. s. H. S. B. s. H. S. B. s. H. S.

Slight. Deo and Skinner, had varsity experience. Clifford Conrad coached the hunch for the first half of the season. After that Jim King did the running of the team. The first game of the season was played at Three Oaks on December 4. 1925. At the final gun. the score stood 7-25 against us. The following Friday. Bridgman visited the Town Hall. The game was full of ] ep all the way through. In the third quarter the visitors obtained a slight lead, which gave them the “old push” to win 10-17. Our slump was broken on December 18, when we won from Eau Claire an easy game, the score being 38-6. With the exception of the two games with Bridgman and Buchanan, we won the rest of the games. At Kalamazoo, we met the strong St. John’s team of Jackson. The fellows had l een sick, so they didn’t have enough wind to carry them through. They lost by a score of about 15-34. And so ended what we thought was a successful basket ball season with ten victories and nine defeats. First Line-ups Robert Kins. 26 ....................R- F. Russel Slight. '26...................L.

'27 ................Guard Pigt forty-she THE CAXOKr —THE CANOE Baseball Baseltall made its second attempt this year after a decisive failure last year in which the team lost every game they played. This was no douht, due to a lack of insufficient interest on the part of the players. This made practice almost impossible and necessitated a change in the line-up in nearly every game. It is a well known fact that no team can he successful if the players themselves lack sufficient interest and enthusiasm to practice or at least attend the games. This year the base kail fans started out with the pep and determination to win. If this enthusiasm is carried throughout the season, the hoys can not help hut have a successful season of base hall. While it is rather early in the season to predict the outcome, we can say that so far we have been very fortunate in that we have only lost two or three of our best players and a loss of many more would leave us nothing but a few bench warmers and a water l oy. To date we have only played two games. We first took Coloma into camp and through the excellent pitching of Emery Bunnell, we won the game by a score of 5-3. The following week we took on Eau Claire and our lxiys forgot to bring along their fur coats and mittens that day. so as a result, became so cold they couldn’t play and so they dropped the game to Eau Claire by a score of 10-4. Other games on the schedule are: Watrveliet. Buchanan. Three Oaks, and a return game with Eau Claire. The line-up at present is as follows: Pitcher-—-Emery Bunnell. Bill Forbes Catcher—Elton Stover First Base—Anthony Barrett Second Base—Alden Jones Third Base—Arthur Busse Short Stop—Leo Jone s Right Fielder—Harold Sharpe Left Fielder—-Ralph Painter Center Fielder—Ferris Moore Substitutes: Leslie Jones, Richard Jones. Clarence Oatman. Mr Conrad—Coach e tort v tigkt ------I'llK canoe-------------- Agriculture Lincoln said. “No other human occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable and agreeable combination of labor with cultivated thought as Agriculture.” The Agricultural Course in this high school, as well as that in the 150 other schols in the state, furnish a practical proof that the day is past when an Agricultural Education is not necessary and practical. Those in | ace with the nation’s advancement. can plainly see that the farmer must l e acquainted with the scientific facts related to agriculture a,s well as in any other kind of business. Through the application of the knowledge of agriculture it is possible to preserve and restore fertility of the soil. It is for the alx ve reasons that agriculture was introduced in each of the 150 high schools in the state of Michigan. Agriculture was introduced in the Berrien Springs High School and) the subjects of botany and field C rops were chosen to supplement the academic work. Botany was required as a preparatory course l.-efore entering the real field of agriculture. The second year Mr. Lytle came here as the Agricultural instructor and Coach. The subjects chosen other than Botany which is required of all beginners, was Animal Husbandry, which was followed throughout the year. This course dealt with the origin and care of both animal and poultry life. During the year, the class entered a grain, fruit and poultry judging contest at Benton Har!x r and a number of l oys brought home a numl er of high scores showing the result of hard and efficient work. Two years ago, the Agricultural department was given its third and last chance to make good. The work of the previous two years had not come up to the Smith-Hughes law which was the law that made possible Agricultural departments in high schools and supported by the state with from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per year providing the department was kept up to standard. Knowing somewhat of the conditions, 1 came down here two years ago with the determination to make good. Interest was revived and the Agricultural de] artment slowly got on its feet and continued to gain until at the end of the year such improvement and progress had l een made that the school received for the first time the federal aid given to Smith-Hughes Agricultural departments whose standards are up to the requirements of the Smith-Hughes law. The courses offered during that year Botany and Zoology were offered for the Freshmen. Farm Crops and Horticutlure, one semester each, for the Sophomores and Juniorsand soils and Farm Management. one semester each for the Juniors and Senors. This year besides Botany and Zoology being offered, a course in Farm Mechanics was offered which dealt with farm drainage problems, sewage disposal on farms, rope splicing and other farm shop problems. A course in Agricultural economics was offered and this dealt with the marketing of farm products, co-operation among farmers. Agricultural credit, and the like. A course was also offered in small fruit culture or Horticulture in which a complete discussion of each of the small fruits was made. Besides the regular school work the boys entered a number of plates of apples and potatoes at the Dowagiac school fair and brought home several first and second prizes for their exhibit. During this spring, considerable time has been spent in testing seed corn for the farmers of the community. Some twenty bushels has ! een tested and each ear of corn is tested separately. Besides the school work, the 1m vs enrolled in the Agricultural department are required to carry a project throughout the summer which is supervised by the Agricultural instructor and is carried on satisfactory credit is given for it is the same as for the Academic work earned on in school. Mr. C. F. Conrad Page fifty Manual Arts The Manual Arts course was started in the year of 1924. The room which was then the Play-room was used as a work-shop. The equipment consisted of sixteen work-benches upon which was to l e found a set of individual tools. There was also a tool cabinet: where a set of General tools were kept. In 1925. the department outgrew the location and was moved to the rooms in the old County Office Building and was called the Annex. Also more equipment was added which consisted of four more work-benches, one hand saw. one universal saw, one jointer, and two lathes. At the present time, the 1 tenches are located in two adjoining rooms. Across the hall there is a finishing room and a machine room. All kinds of large and small furniture are made such as radio cabinets, desks, flower stands, china cabinets, and many smaller articles. The work is started in the seventh grade, and continues through the High School. The Seventh Grade meets two periods a week. Eighth Grade, three periods weekly. Their work is outlined. In the High School, the classes meet two pericxls daily. The students make articles they choose. Every year the class grows in popularity. Mechanical Drawing Mechanical Drawing was introduced for the first time in 1926. 'I he work is done in the work-shop of the Manual Artts department. Each student in the class has the full equipment of instruments necessary. The work consists of Machine Drawing, Elementary Architecture Drawing, and the making of working drawings from models. Also a certain amount of time is put in making tracings and doing blue-printing. This class also works two periods five times a week. George Ezvalt rav,e fifty-one --THE CANOE The Commercial Department The Commercial Department is completing its seventh year of existence, in this school, and each year it is gaining in popularity among the students. It now-offers the following courses: Bookkeeping and Shorthand alternately, two years of Typewriting, and Commercial Arithmetic. There are thirty-four students who have selected one or more of these courses. A victrola and new rhythm records were introduced for better rhythm and faster speed. A contest is being conducted by the typewriting department, besides working for the monthly Underwood rewards. The classes work for a prize which the department itself offers as an incentive for better work. The first beginner in Typewriting who attains the speed of fifty words a minute or more receives a two dollar and a half gold piece. The first advanced student who attains the speed of seventy words or more a minute receives a two and a half gold piece. The student who stands out in typewriting and advances most rapidly wins a five dollar gold piece. The typewriting contest of '26 was held in April, at St. Joseph. Those sent from our school, were, Zora Xightlinger, Ardys Nelson, Mildred Marsh, and Frances Harrington, accompanied by the Commercial Teacher of the year '26. Miss Doris Lance. Ardys Nelson won second place in advanced event and Mildred Marsh won first ip beginners event. The Bookkeeping class consists of fourteen students. This class has progressed nicely and will finish two practice sets by the end of the school year. Besides finishing these two sets, many intervening exercises are required. The Senior having the best record in Commercial work will receive a ten dollar gold piece from the State Bank at the end of the school year.
