Some of us will go on with our education. Others will go out into the business world to earn their own bread. But whatever course we choose, we must remember that the successes which we make depend largely on the successes which we have made in our high school training. Our school, our city, our state, and our country, have done everything in their power to train us as young men and women that will be a credit to our nation. God has blessed us by giving us the best country in the world. We live in the land of opportunity,, and w’e cannot fail unless wfe deliberately try to do so. Our state has helped us by forming one of the best school systems in the United States. The citizens of Bay City have encouraged and aided us by building a school which is second to none in the country. And in this school through contact with the faculty and the students we have received training in character and encouragement towards high scholarship which is indispensable to our success. As the years fly by, opportunities become more and more numerous. But, as these opportunities increase, responsibilities become greater and heavier. What equipment, mentally, physically and spiritually have we acquired to meet these heavy responsibilities? Have we found out some of the things that are necessary to meet the problems of life? Have we prepared ourselves to go out into the world and face temptations that will confront us and try to ruin us? Yes, wre have if we have trained our minds through hard study; if wre have developed staunch and strong characters. Scholarship does not mean merely high grades in school, although high grades may indicate high scholarship; but it means much more: it means the ability to do proficient work in any task that we might undertake. If wTe have attained this power we cannot possibly fail, for we then have acquired a habit w'hich we cannot readily rid ourselves of, a habit which will become stronger as the years go by, a habit of self-ccnflence, of industry, of concentration, and of forwardness. This habit, if wre may call it such, will take us over many obstacles and bring us to our goal better equipped to do the w'ork wrhich our Maker has intended for us. Scholarship also helps to form character, for the latter somewhat depends upon knowledge acquired. If scholarship helps us to form good strong characters, it is f's� «e 12 certainly a valuable asset, because character is one of the greatest necessities in life. A man with a good character can be trusted and relied on in the work that he has to do. As the opportunities and responsibilities increase the temptations that we have to face and conquer become larger and more invincible. Thus we have to form our characters to meet these demands and to withstand the many enemies which we shall surely meet in the narrow road to success. Have we so developed our character and scholarship so that we can meet the great problems and temptations of life? Or have we passed by all these things as we traveled down the highway. They were beside the road as we journeyed, and it took only a little work to find them. No, no, we have not listlessly passed them by. God grant that we have received all the worth while things with open hands and open hearts, for if we missed any one of them we have wasted twelve years of our short lives. Now that we are graduating let us remember that everything we do. whether in college or in the business world will reflect on our Central High School. Let us not leave unfavorable marks on the wall of time for those who come after us to erase. Let us leave the honorable marks which we owe this school. Let us go out into the world and be something. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime. And. departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. Our school has done all it could to give us the best possible training. Our community has aided us by building and supporting this school. The people have cooperated in all that we have tried to do and they have helped us in everything that we did. And now we of the Senior Class of 1927 thank you all and bid farewell. —Floyd Schultz. Page 13 SALUTATORY m ♦15 Graduation is the ultimate goal of all students. Graduation is the event which celebrates the attainment of that amount of success in education that allows us to proceed in an upward direction toward higher and more difficult ascents. That is the goal that we, the class of ’27 of Central High, have at this time gained. We must forever keep climbing steadily upwards or we are lost; we must always work to improve ourselves in all ways, and above all we must exert ourselves in helping those who follow in our paths. We feel exultant in our being able to climb to the height of high school graduation, but we must not sing of a success which is not wholly ours. We must stop and think. Who acted as our generals, majors, captains, lieutenants, quartermasters, and supply sergeants in our late struggle? They are those back of us in all branches of our activities; they are those who should be and who are exultant and overjoyed at our present success: they are those who are completing the second part of the duties of life by aiding us who are now doing the first duty of climbing upwards. Who are these who stand behind us and urge us on to greater efforts? They are our elders, with whom we come in contact every day; they are none other than our fathers, our mothers, our teachers, our advisors, our ministers, our neighbors, our elder friends, and in general, the whole of human society. Even our ancestors were important factors in enabling us to have the advantages that we have in the form of excellent schools, proficient teachers, good texts, efficient methods of teaching, and all the fine equipment and apparatus that we have for the development of healthy bodies and strong minds. Where would we be at this time if it were not for the guiding hands stretched out to us in a spirit of sacrificial help? Surely we would not be the proud graduating class of ’27 as we now are. So with our success and subsequent feelings of elation, joy. and happiness there must also be a deep-set. heartfelt feeling of mingled thanks, gratitude, and appreciation which should be extended to our host of benefactors and creditors. By all rules and laws of nature we must in some measure try to repay this enormous debt which rests upon our shoulders. To do this there is no better way than to go on with our work and to reach the peak of perfection in everything we undertake to do. In this way we can pay our debts, earn credit for ourselves, be examples for our followers and living memorials to the teachings of our dear old Central High. —James L.

Our efforts, hopes, and determination during those four years—1924. 1925. 1926. and 1927, made that journey a most successful one. The travelers, a bit weary, being unaccustomed to the manner of traveling, were granted permission to make their first stop in 19 25. It was then that we decided to organize the class. The most enthusiastic of the crew who wished to make this stop successful were: President. Billy Bronson: vice-president. Robert Robinson; secretary. Marian Youngs; treasurer, Edith Wright: sergeant-at-arms, Andrew' Simon. Miss Marian Schindler and Mr. C. H. White were chosen as honorary members to advise us as to the nature of our stop. Our jolly crew was not without its song: Miss Beatrice Moore, one of the Sophs, was the composer. We again resumed our journey, and as w e traveled on we became deeply impressed by certain words which ran through each and everyone’s mind: “Travel on. Caravan of Central; all hopes of future years hang breathless on thy fate.” The drooping palms and trees of hugest limb persuaded us to stop and rest beneath their life-long shadows. We now found ourselves Juniors. The following were chiefly in charge of this restful atmosphere: President, Frederic Seidel; vice-president, Dorothy White; secretary, Marian Youngs; treasurer. Virgil LaPorte; sergeant at arms. Wilbur Harris. In need of some dramatic diversion, we witnessed our Junior play, “The Romantic Age,” which proved a huge success. Virgil LaPorte and Frederic Seidel were chosen as delegates to the Older Boys’ Conference at Lansing. This w'as followed by the representation of Dorothy White at the Girl’s Conference at Jackson. Our Junior assembly produced a novel entertainment, half pep meeting and half assembly program. A little later on w’e gave our strictly Junior sleighride and arrived at our destination—Munger Hall. Last but not least, came the Junior Hop. a grand and glorious affair in the school gym with Ed. Meisel as general chairman. When wre finally reached our destination we became aware of the fact that our efforts were not in vain. After a few members of the crew disembarked from the Caravan and surveyed the land we were all informed to do likewise. The place proved to be a beautiful spot; not one of us regretted that we had come, even though the journey was a tedious one. These disembarked first: President. James Bailey; vice-president, Ed. Meisel; secretary. Allen Markey; treasurer, Virgil LaPorte; sergeant-at-arms. Jack Wheeler. Mr. White, Miss Beese, and Miss Carver were chosen as honorary members. Plans were made to swell the treasury. The first of these was to sell candy at all the football games. Clayton Voss was appointed chairman of this candy committee, whose efforts were greatly appreciated by the Senior class. Returns from a few dances which were given after the football games helped to increase our treasury. Mr. Voss was also chosen as a delegate to the Older Boys’ Conference at Lansing. The Senior class was in hopes of presenting the school with mechanism for the tower clock, but as the sufficient amount was not raised we decided to start a fund and have the next year’s Seniors continue it. The electrical clock, synchronized with the school system and an addition of chimes or other striking apparatus could be then installed. We hope this project will prove successful. Thus have we come to this journey’s end. With this experience wre are now prepared to journey into the future, always bearing in mind that it was in Central’s Caravan that we reached this—our destination. Papre 40 We, the class of 1927. being in a generous state of mind and knowing that the undergraduates are solemnly and greedily awaiting our departure, do make, publish, and declare our last will and testament, this seventeenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. And while we are doing this w e secretly give way to a few irrepressible giggles up the well known sleeve, for wre know full well that that wfhich wre bequeath can never be of any worth to anyone. To Mr. Keen we bequeath the fond memory of a peerless class as due compensation for his misfortune in not having the opportunity to be under the influence of the said peerless class for mere than one short year. To the Junior class we leave our much abused senior privileges and also the inalienable right of Seniors to loaf. We leave to the unsophisticated Scphomores our sympathy and our most fervent hopes for the best. We do give, devise, and bequeath the sole privilege of relating anecdotes of the illustrious accomplishments of the class of 1927 to the faculty, so that they may use this privilege in making better the lives of future generations of students. The following, being sound of “constitution”, but weak of “will” do dispose of his or her treasured possessions. 1. James Bailey, leave my magnificent austerity and presidential ability to some needy Junior. I, Billy Williams, do leave my all state position to Irving Kometh. I. Helen Crampton. being a little bit of everything, do bequeath my “II” to any girl with my intelligence in thought and dress. I. Edwin Light, do bequeath my leisurely manner and superior aspect to Warren Fisk. I. Leota Marzinski. do bequeath my ability to get over hurts quickly to future football teams. I.

MARION WILLISTON. Pajce 48 “In the Land of Dreaming Bright with colors gay. Strolls a carefree singer,. At the dawn of day. He is called Aladdin And he sells his wares. In the land of Dreaming Never touched by cares. New lamps for old, Tarnished ones for gold. Aladdin is selling New lamps for old.' It was the day after graduation, a lovely, warm, sunny June day. and I was lying in a hammock under a shady thorn-apple tree, reading. I put down my book for a moment and wondered just what each of the members of the class of ’27 would be doing twenty years from now. Everyone a leader in his or her walk of life. I was sure. I began to suppose all sorts of lovely things about my classmates; then slowly, slowly I dropped to sleep—lulled by the drowsy summer warmth, the humming of the bees, the trickling of the fountain, and the soft whispering of the leaves. It seemed in my dreams as if I were seeking Aladdin in the land of dreaming and that at last I found him. Aladdin—splendid in his many hued silken robes, and squatted among many, many glistening lamps. Then the thought came to me that perhaps Aladdin mfght reveal the future of each one of the class of ’27 to me—at least. I might ask. And so, timidly. I approached him. “Aladdin, sirrah. I have journeyed all the way from the Land of Living to the Land of Dreaming to find you. Will you not rub your wonderful lamps and tell me what the future holds for each one of my classmates twenty years hence? ’ And Aladdin kindly replied; “You have traveled a long way to see me. but you are most welcome in the Land of Dreaming. Indeed I shall be most glad to tell you what I see upon the glistening surfaces of my lamps.” He made me comfortable among silken rugs and cushions; then seating himself again among his lamps he spoke to me. “I have here nine lamps—see? They represent nine various w alks in life. I shall rub each one of them in turn and tell you whom I see and what each one will be doing twenty years from now. Behold!” Page 49 Swiftly Aladdin picked up a lamp more brilliant than all the rest, the lamp of Public Service. Gently he caressed it, gazing eagerly upon its glistening sides. At last he spoke. “I see first an office within the White House and a wise looking man seated at a desk, attended by secretaries, ambassadors. Ah! He is James Bailey, the President of the United States. The scene now' shifts to that busy, busy city, Chicago. The lamp reveals a large building. Hull House, to which throng daily countless thousands. A sw'eet faced woman moves among them, Agnes Hartley, a noted social service wrorker. Within that same city I see a woman working over a desk in an office high up in a building. Dorothy White is now secretary of the Good Citizens League in that city. I see Durward Dean writing at a desk which is piled high with letters and papers. He is now Doctor Dean, wrho edits a column, Helpful Hints to Puzzled Lovers.” London is the next I see, and a girl in conference with several other women. It is Sophia Vanderbilt, the secretary of the World’s Committee of the Y. W. C. A. John DeCourcy flies over the surface of the lamp in his latest invention, the gasless, collegiate Ford. Behold! A mighty tropical forest of New’ Zealand is seen. O man is prowling among the tropical ferns and flow’ers, collecting rare birds for the National Geographic Society. Who is it? Let me rub the vision clearer—Ah! yes, it is Edward Schmidt. The scene I next see is a vast one; it seems to change from home to home, from drug store to drug store. Oh. I understand it, my lamp, you are showing the countless thousands who are drinking Miss Champaine’s new’ beverage, Lovilla.” I see a camp beside a lovely sparkling lake nestled among the mountains. A w’oman appears,—it is Annetta Long, the Director of Long Lake Camp in Newr Hampshire. The vision changes to your own dear city and, yes, your High School. A girl is directing Glee Clubs, the Orchestra, making announcements, running hither and thither. Clara Arneson has become the assistant of Mr. White. What is this I see? Six girls seated in a row’ and a woman directing them. Can it be? Yes. The girls are chewing gum and then examining it for holes. They find none and rejoice. Their director is Edith Hall, w’ho has at last after many years of work, invented Hole-proof Gum”. The Court of England is next revealed w ith the King and Queen and all their retinue receiving a new’ Ambassador from the United Stales. It is Erich Kasemeyer. The scene remains in London. I see long lines of Boy Scouts. They are being reviewed by Merrill Groulx. who is a Boy Scout executive in Europe. Swiftly the vision changes to your own land in a large city. Elaine LaBrenz, as supervisor of the Civic League Nurses, is directing with her accustomed energy her assistants to the aid of needy in the city. I see a swift steamship and in a special stateroom is Gertrude Kessler, who is going on a secret mission to Russia to negotiate for the crown jew’els. I see a group of men and women on the deck of the same ship, about twenty of them, evidently in a party. Behold! Their director is Thelma Graves, whose business it is to conduct world cruises. A mighty factory looms up w’ithin my vision. In a richly appointed office sits the chief executive, Walter Katt, a millionaire who made his money in Katt’s Pajamas. I see another ship sailing over the water. Upon it is the renowned Catherine Belworthy. She is heading an expedition to investigate the remaining treasures in King Tut’s tomb. Congress is now reflected on the sides of the lamp. Two politicians sit side by side. One is—the vision is not quite clear—Ah! yes, it is William Cummings, who is famous as an honest politician. Beside him sits Edward Light, who is congressman from your own district.” I interrupted. Ed Light was alw’ays such a forceful speaker, is he not at all famous as an orator now?” Aladdin replied, Indeed, yes, his oratory has made him one of the most powerful men in the House. But allow me to proceed,—the lamp will grow dull.” He rubbed the lamp a few minutes and then resumed his prophecy. In Philadelphia I see a woman guiding a young girl as to what profession she shall take up. She is Elsie Pasre 50 Western, who is head of the Vocational Guidance in that city. The scene shifts to a hall where a very earnest young woman is addressing a group of women. Helen (Tampton is a well known organizer of clubs for women. I see the streets of a busy city filled with smiling men. each one rejoicing because Kenneth Lamont has invented the Permanent Shave. The Boardwalk at Atlantic City is next revealed. Ah. but my eves are dazzled! What is this I see? Indeed, it is a beauty contest. The worthy judge is Leonard Nuffer. A new country is within my sight. Germany. An office is filled with busy secretaries buzzing about Esther Lundbom, the woman ambassador from the United States. The white wards of a children’s hospital are gleaming on the lamp. Among the children moves a sweet faced, merry little woman. Gladys Martin, the supervisor of the hospital. I see a lovely girl surrounded by interviewers. She is the latest Miss America. She is asked as to what she owes her beauty. The girl replies. ‘To miss Marie Neal, who has lately perfected the milk bath’ And who is this important looking young man? Pleasant though he is. yet neither his presence nor his correspondence is welcomed by the best of men. Virgil LaPorte is now United States income tax collector. What a charming scene comes next within my view. A woman is sitting before a fire surrounded by dozens of little children. Anna Wiebert. the matron of the Children’s Home in Detroit, is telling her little charges bed-time stories. I see a young woman lecturing before a learned assembly of botanists. It is Lenore Rosenburg. who has lately gone to Honduras in search of rare ferns. In the next vision I see that Ruby Dutcher has founded and is head of the Dutcher Health Sanitarium. And I see happy children and wee babies playing in a day nursery whose superintendent is Ada Tuson. Such a wonderful work! For centuries men have worked and studied to invent a machine of perpetual motion. At last that feat has been accomplished by the wrorld renowned scientist. Professor James Cooper. I see a large hospital, it is—let me make the vision clearer It is a new Medical Center in New York City, and Florence Richert holds the important position of Dietitian there. I see a dainty little shop—but what an unusual advertisement! ‘Dry-cleaning of the face, hair and skin. A new process of cleansing lately invented by the Misses Marion Sovey and Della Tatro’. And next I see—but the vision grows duller—a home set far back among the trees. Some old men are sitting comfortably upon the broad porch. At last a kindly woman comes out and calls them all into supper. She is Marjory Peterson, who is house-mother of a Home for Retired Football Heroes. The vision is fading—now it is gone.” Aladdin turned to me directly, “Evidently only those whom I have seen in the lamp of Public Service are to follow that walk of life. But you must be proud that I have seen so many of your number working in such worthy causes.” “Aladdin,” said I, “I never, never can thank you—It is so w’onderful to see how well known, and famous, and successful my classmates are to be—But I knew it would be that way.” “Shall I next gaze upon the shining lamp of Medicine, or w’ould you prefer to see some other?” “I’d love to hear who are to be in the medical profession, for I have heard so many of them say they hoped to be. Will you please choose that lamp next. Aladdin?” “I shall be glad to do so.” Aladdin gently rubbed the lamp and again began to speak. “The first I see is that wonderful hospital at the University of Michigan, and in charge of the Pharmaceutical department is Edith Wright. The Ford Hospital in Detroit follows in my vision. In a pure white office marked “Head Nurse”, sits Leone Kekhardt. In a laboratory in this same hospital is Doctor Henrietta Wittw’er who, after long years of experimenting, has discovered a most deadly germ, the Speedus Bugus. At the Mayo Brothers’ world famous hospital in Rochester, Minnesota, the Pa«e 51 legions of nurses are under the charge of Marvel Higgs. Superintendent of Nurses. Edward Meisel. attired in his white uniform, has become a world famous surgeon. And now the vision is entirely gone.” ‘‘Thank you so much, Aladdin. I expected that more of my class would enter the medical profession; indeed. I am surprised. What is this very large golden lamp, sirrah ?” “That,” replied Aladdin, ‘‘is the lamp of Business. There you will find many of your friends. Let me see what it holds for you.” Aladdin lifted the lamp, gently brushed his hand across its burnished surface, and began: ”1 first see the city of vanity, Paris. On the Hue de la Paix is a most fashionable beauty parlor managed by four American girls, Fanny Alpern, Dorothy Biller. Helen Balwinski and Bessie Atkinson. An editor’s office next slips before my sight. At the desk sits Arthur Adams, the editor of that amusing little magazine, the ‘Whizz-Bang’. I see a large wholesale dress salon. Among the buyers is Charlotte Hoemer, whose business it is to select gowns for Marshal Field's. The scene now changes rapidly through several cities, and in each one I see one of a chain of stores, the Golden (Grocery Stores. Philip Golden is the owner. I see a most interesting occupation. Dorothea Kann is manager of a doll hospital in Detroit. And ah, what sight is this! Joe Legatz is now a fashionable instructor in the terpsichorean art. And here, beauteous place! is that charming city. New Orleans. A flower shop is managed there by Esther Miller and Marguerite Nufer. The scene shifts ever so slightly to a shop next door. Catherine Anderson and Avis LaBerge own ‘The Snappy Shop—Gingerbread a Specialty.’ (’an you not fairly smell it? And what is this I see! The scene has reverted to Professor Cooper’s office. Ah, yes, 1 understand, Virginia Peets is his secretary. And next I see Marion Robinson and Margaret Sovey managing a ‘Boarding House for Pets— Cats and Dogs Preferred.’ My eyes must be deceiving me, but I see a fruit store on Fifth avenue, New York, owned and run by Morris Greenstein and Lyle McCormick. From what 1 see. it is a most fashionable store. In Detroit 1 see Thelma Pangborn as manager of the Telephone Exchange. The scene changes again to an editor’s office, but. ah! a woman occupies the desk. Ruth Hutton has become the editor of “Life”. And another editor! Corrinne Barber holds that position in the Detroit Free Press, but I am not surprised. I see a sumptuous office in a bank. Stanley Jablonski is now president of one of the largest banks in the world. And next. I think this is in Connecticut—Theodora Gregory is head of a commercial college. I see a place very near to your home, Essexville, and there Dayton Martin builds his famous ships. Within that same metropolis. Fred Savage holds the position of chief of police and Theodore Doan is linotypist of the Essexville News. I see several of your classmates remaining at home. Erna DeCorte, Hilda Dehn, and Florence Donarski have instituted the first successful tea shop in Bay City. I see Madelon Beckerson as manager of the Buick Sales. And in your cherished Bay City Central high school, Clara Ruth is one of the best oral English instructors they have ever had. In 235 Russell Ballard is the beloved session room teacher. Within the principal's office of that same institution sits the august Allen Markey. I see David Gilbert in a most modern drug store. He is now the foremost druggist of the city, likewise being the originator of the delicious “Gilbert Gulp”. Now I see New York city and a monstrous building, and w’ithin the building a large office in which a girl sits busily working. Annis Brown is secretary to the president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. And now the vision of a large gymnasium passes before my eyes. Nina Freeman is gymnasium Instructor at Smith College. Again I recognize London, and through the fog I see limousines parked before an exclusive millinery salon which is owned by Florence Burt and Ruth Cerny. Again 1 see the White House and who? Ah!—Leo Talego as one of the foremost landscape gardners of the day is employed in that capacity there. He is assisted by Harold Colvin. In New York I see another Fase 52 « !itor � office. How literary your class is! William Brownson is now editor of the New York Times. Again I perceive a chain of shops—“The Sweet Adeline Candy Shops', owned by Adeline Kollinger and Adeline Brockmiller. Next a laboratory at Wellesley College passes before my view. Teaching her class in it is Olive Lagden, professor of chemistry. I see a busy little man who seems to be everywhere at once and yet most efficient. Harry Miller is manager of the bacon department of Swift Company. I see a counter covered with yards and yards of filmy laces. Mildred Kerr is in charge of the lace department of J. L. Hudson’s. Ah! What splendor! Two beautiful children, exquisitely dressed, are playing in a nursery provided with everything a child might want. Watching over the children is Gertrude Hamilton, governess in the J. Pierpont Morgan home. Presently a young woman enters and seems to be preparing to give the children their daily lesson in reading, writing and arithmetic. It is 11a Simmons, w'ho is an authority on teaching very small children. The scene next shifts to a very busy street. Riding through the traffic is a luxurious limousine. Within rides James Morrison, ‘the big man who does big things in a big way in big cities.’ Another limousine follows close behind. Walter Blanchard is its occupant. He is now known as ‘Henry Ford’s rival’. Next I see your high school again, but now it is midsummer. Dorothy Wood is principal of the Bay City summer school and Audrey Conlin is her most capable assistant. In New' York City Dorcas Flintoff is a teacher of commercial w’ork. In London I see Frederick Hamme interviewing statesmen, actors, and other celebrities as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press. The scene moves just across the channel in Paris, where Daniel Noble has a marcelling shop for men and boys exclusively. I see a most exquisite art shop whose aesthetic though business like owner is Margaret White. Again the vision carries us into another continent. In an office I see Delos Coller struggling over mighty problems as a construction engineer of the New' York Central Lines. I see a young woman evidently listening with enjoyment to the playing of one of her pupils. Nina Meier is a music teacher at the University of Michigan School of Music. Detroit is revealed upon the sides of the lamp, and in an office Betty Smith is fulfilling her position as regional Girl Reserve secretary. And next, a mighty building yet graceful and stately in every line is the largest railroad terminal in the world at Chicago. Within its portals is a bronze tablet commemorating those who had the vision and the skill to conceive such a building. At the head of the list is the name of the architect. Kenneth Chanel I see an office in the great building which Sears Roebuck occupies. Wallace Nunn presides over the office as head of the hardware department. I see a young man receiving a letter. It is from William Pilditch, w'ho manages a correspondence course for plumbers. Upon the surface of the lamp I see vast farms with acres of every variety of vegetable. Walter Weiss is now the wealthy owner of the Weiss Truck Farms! Ah! What a queer vision! A young American woman—yes. it is Bernice Hallgren—is teaching a group of little Armenian children in the Far East. The next scene is in court. Lester Porter as a criminal lawyer is arguing a case with all the ability he possesses as a second Clarence C. Darrow. And I perceive by the vision of mighty factories that Warren Snogren is an outstanding manufacturer. I see hundreds of people flocking to a true palace which is really a motion picture theater, one of many owned by Albert Turmell. A very learned professor. Raymond Staudacher. is teaching higher methematics at Yale Univesity. 1 see a group of girls at Vassar College playing—does my lamp tell me truly?—Yes. playing football, coached by Billy Williams. Harry Symons is an eminent coat manufacturer in Chicago. He practically has a monopoly of the business. In that same city my lamp tells me that Maxine Weston is the head librarian in the Public Library. I see a bridge, the marvel of all who behold it. constructed by Clayton Voss, an internationally known civil engineer. An imposing and very exclusive apartment house looms up within my vision built on Riverside Drive in Chicago. Mae Hollabough and Florence McNeil are the managers. I see a man, bronzed with Page 53 sun and water, gazing with a keen eye out over Lake Erie. It is Roy Tenny, who is in charge of the life-saving stations of the Great Lakes. I see multitudes of Cadillacs being driven everywhere due to the efforts of Howard Mitchell, the advertising manager of the Cadillac Motor Company. At last the lamp grows dim—the visions are gone. Now do you realize what great men and women in embryo you have in your class? “Indeed. Aladdin. I do. I am becoming constantly more convinced that the class of ’27 is the best that ever graduated from Central High School.’’ “You may well think that. We who have the power to see into the future are much impressed with your class. And now shall we pass on to the lamp of Entertainment ?’ “Please do, Aladdin. There are many classmates as yet unaccounted for.” Aladdin picked up another lamp. This differed from the others in that it had a row of diamonds about the top. The lamp seemed not to shine, but to glitter. He blew upon it and proceeded to tell me what he saw. “I see a lovely, willowy blond. Jeannette Hutchinson, playing in an old favorite. ‘Why Gentlemen Prefer Blonds.’ Swiftly a three-ring circus comes into my view. A lovely bare-back rider. Margot, is very well known and widely acclaimed. Before she took up this profession Margot was known as Margaret Craves. My eyes are dazzled by the lights of a cabaret. Two famous dancers. Lillian Blinke and Maybelle Cathcart are the main features of the evening. Within my lamp I recognize Sarah Bernstein, now a favorite of the Red Apple Club. Behold! Ah. what beauty passes before my eyes! The world renowned Ziegfield’s Follies Chorus consisting of Florence Davis. Noreen Preston. Caroline Harmon. Dolores Gallagher, Doris Hawkins and Edwina Goodwin. I do believe that I recognize that lovely actress, Bayonne Downey. She is a star on Broadway in a play written especially for her, “Ma Petite.” This is really quite entrancing! 1 see the K.K.K. Girls, a well known vaudeville troupe. The three K’s stand for Frances King. Delphine Kopec and Adeline Klann. Ah! I perceive a night club!” “Please. Aladdin, may I look too? I’ve never seen a night club.” “Surely you may. You must look closely, however, for your eyes are not accustomed to distinguishing the visions upon the side of the lamp as mine are,” he replied.. And as I gazed upon the lamp I could see Beatrice Moore as the manager of a night club. It looked like lots of fun. As I looked at the picture there, slowly it changed and I recognized Elsie and Norma Lohrke as the Lohrke Sisters in a vaudeville act of Keith’s circuit. Again the picture changes. This time there were two marvelous acrobats, but I could not distinguish who they were and so I asked Aladdin. He studied the lamp a minute, then said. “They are Frederick and James Nitschk.v.” I recognized them then too. The next a thrilling movie called “Love’s Revenge with John Monteith as the handsome star. The next picture I recognized to be that of a radio station. WWJ. and Nina Smith was broadcasting. And then I saw Oliver Pembroke in a movie as the hero of a thrilling picture a la Red Grange. As I gazed upon his manly countenance the picture gradually grew dimmer and dimmer until at last 1 could see nothing but the glittering sides of the lamp. I drew a long breath. “Oh. that is marvelous. Aladdin; I can’t believe I really saw the future in that lamp. Would you mind if I looked with you at the next one too?” “Not a bit.” he replied. “The next lamp is the lamp of Art. In it you will see many of your friends, I am sure.” So Aladdin and I looked at the rest of the lamps together. Gazing upon the beautiful surface of the lamp there slowly glided into view a great white ship. In a steamer chair on the deck reclined Ruby DeBats. She had won a violin contest and as a reward was taking a trip around the world in one of Miss Graves’ conducted tours. Also upon this same ship was Louis Johnston, who had written a book on “How to Grow a Moustache on the Installment Plan—A Little Down Each Week”. The picture moved on to show a music hall with a vast audience waiting for the great violinist. Marguerite Bouie, to play in one of her own concertos. I next saw people chuckling over the evening paper, and discovered the object of their mirth to be the clever cartoons drawn by Chester Miller. Then I saw a beautiful cathedral whose windows were filled with the most exquisite stained glass. An inscription below said that they were designed by Miss Ruth Williamson. Again a vision of a vast music hall appeared, only this time a band was upon the platform, directed by Robert Lusk, leader of the Consolidated Bands of America. The vision faded and then another band is in the same hall—Sousa’s. Among the players I recognized Herbert List, the clarinettist, and the trombonist, David Caplan. I was fascinated by a beautiful room depicted on the lamp. Rich hangings, silken rugs, candles and luxurious chairs and couches. Reclining in a chaise-longue was a blackhaired, dreamy girl in a soft flowing gown. She was entertaining several of her friends for the evening. “She looks familiar, Aladdin. Who is she? Her face is one I have known very well, and yet—she is different.” Ah! That is Beulah Beson. the famous interior decorator,” he replied. Of course, 1 thought, how stupid of me not to know her. But doesn’t she just fit in that profession? 1 saw a large advertisement of Arrow Collars next with a familiar face pictured upon it. Frank Skinner, of course! I saw a young woman writing. She would write busily a while and then look up and smile to herself and seem to go into a reverie, then resume her writing. She was Genevieve Davis, the writer of unusual and baffling detective stories. The scene shifted to the Metropolitan Opera House, where a great opera was being given. Two of the actors were Berenice Fogelsinger and Catherine Willard, the Mezzo-Soprano. The next vision is most unusual. It was as if we were looking over the shoulder of some one who was reading. Looking into her book. I discovered it was a volume of charming modern poems by Edna Slachci-kowski. In the next picture I saw the procession of the Lord Mayor of London announced by two trumpeters, one of whom was Elmer Sartain. We recrossed the ocean in a second as it were, and landed in Washington, in the Senate House. A most exciting debate w’as in progress between Frederick Seidel and Floyd Schultz. The senators recognized it as a second Lincoln-Douglas debate. A dressmaking salon was the next vision, with manniquins promenading up and down, to and fro. The dear “Madame Marie” of the establishment was none other than Marie Collicker herself. Then whom should I see surrounded by photographers and interviewers but Iva DuLude, the erstwhile Miss America. Back again to dear Central and upon Miss Anschutz’s desk was a Latin First Reader written by Beatrice Fischer. A stage was shown next with four men upon it, singing in a quartet, twfo of whom I knew. Merle Jacques and Roy Martins. I thought to myself that really only those twro men were necessary; each might be a half of a perfect whole. A book-stand came into view' upon the surface of the lamp. One of the books advertised was “My Work Tow’ards an Indestructible Automobile”, by Ella Schneidemann. A girl was seen sitting at an easal tracing birds and vines, and flowers, and all manner of things on a piece of paper. Maxine Persons was creating one of her latest designs in her famous wall paper. I saw a group of girls in ballet costumes being instructed in some lovely intricate steps by Sylvia Miller, the director of ballet of the Metropolitan Opera Company. A pleasant faced young man was reflected upon the lamp lecturing to a group of young girls. He wras Wallace Roeller. author of the book “How to Obtain and Keep That School-girl Complexion”. And behold! A young woman was seated at a piano in a great concert hall holding her audience spellbound by the wonder of her playing. Marion Williston wras the virtuoso pianist. I next recognized a bizarre little studio as being in Greenwich Village. The studio was the unique home of Jane Page 55 Hill. 1 saw another studio, this time filled with lofty stage scenery. Erwin Weggel was at work on a “forest primaeval . And next it seemed as if I were looking at a theatre program. Upon one page in black-faced type were the words. “Gowns by Rudell. I thought to myself that Florence must be a great success; she always did make such pretty dresses. The scene reverted to Moore’s Night Club. A vast crowd was swaying or toddling to the jazz played by Paul Whiteman’s. Among the orchestra I recognized Robert Sullivan. An entirely different orchestra was next revealed. The Philadelphia Symphony. Foremost among the ’cellists was Helen Henry. I next recognized a tall. dark, stately girl as Kathleen Woodbury, the favorite model of Charles Dana Gibson. And then 1 saw a charming young lady bowing and smiling before the footlights of a large theatre. Marian Youngs had quite captivated the world at large by the premiere of her most recent play, which bids fair to rival Anne Nichols’ “Abie’s Irish Rose”. Near is Ernestine Perry, the noted literary and dramatic critic of the New York World. Her opiniou will make or break a play. Just as the vision was fading I recognized Jack Vallender as the director of an orchestra and famous rubber band. Then again the lamp was just a lamp. I looked up at the dark face of Aladdin. “Still there are more of my classmates.” “Yes,” he answered, and smiled too. “Suppose you choose a lamp for yourself. Just pick any one of these.” I chose one. It was different from all of the others. Made of bronze and lacking all grace, it looked heavy and substantial. Aladdin said. “You have chosen the lamp of the Army and Navy. That ought to be interesting.” He poured some magic elixir within. Steam began to evolve and within the vapor I saw two mighty ocean liners. Upon the side of one was painted. “Leviathan.” upon the other. “Majestic.” Upon the captain’s bridge of the first stood David Goldberg, and of the second, Theodore Golebiewski was captain. Then I saw an army camp. Two officers were instructing rookies how to pitch a pup tent. One was Jay Bleicher, and the other Irving Boucher. Then the boiling ceased and the steam passed away. Evidently few of my friends would walk in that stern path. I chose another lamp. This one was of ebony. Aladdin explained that it was the lamp of Religion. He took off the cover and immediately little shadowy figures arose out of its depths. The first depicted was Jennie Ferguson as a missionary to the natives of the South Sea � slands. Then what a queer little figure I beheld next. A girl, evidently in a trance, was ringing her hands and wildly pointing at me and apparanlly trying to tell me something. She was Elizabeth Nelson, the leader of spiritualistic meetings. A vision of a man in all his ministerial robes rose before my view. He was Arnold Wagner, the rector of St. Paul’s in Detroit. Aladdin and I waited for a few moments, but saw nothing more, so he said: “No more of your classmates are to follow this divine calling. Let us pass on to the next lamp, the lamp of Sport.” He put the cover on and held out another lamp. Thrice he turned it about and then set it down before me. I first watched a miniature baseball game. Walter Gottleber was pitcher for the New York Giants. Three men in succession stuck out. so swiftly did he throw the ball. Then we watched Catherine Plum, the Champion Woman High-diver of the Olympic team making graceful swan dives and triple summersaults in the air. I saw a thrilling University basketball game in progress refereed by Andrew Simon. Then the vision of huge headlines in a paper passed before my eyes proclaiming that Katherine Gudschinsky had made a new record swim of the English channel Next we saw William Hewitt, the famous pro. football star and ice carrier win a football game by a ninety yard run for a touchdown. The opposing team were even allowed to have thirteen men in view of Hewitt’s skill as a player. I watched Felix Stasinski as he raced around the sides of the lamp, finally breaking the world’s automobile speed record. I saw Blanche Virbiski being photographed and interviewed as the first woman aviator in the air-mail route. And I was thrilled to watch Jack Wheeler as he coached the football team at the University of Michigan. The visions passed Page 56 away. There was just one lamp remaining, and I guessed it to be the lamp of Domestic Life. Aladdin said, “Yes. you are right. Few' of your classmates have chosen that life alone, although practically all w'ill have happy homes of their own ultimately. Let us use this lamp of happiness. He rubbed it till it shone. The first one I saw was the former Gertrude Gerry, busy in her charming home, a most competent housewife. Then I had a glimpse of a fraternity house, the Ifieta Pi at the University of Wisconsin. Leota Marzynski and Gladys Schultz acting in the capacity of house mothers and chaperons. I was happy to see Esther Hitz chaperoning some young ladies of Abott Academy to a football game in Boston. She seemed a great favorite with the girls. Then the vision faded and was gone. I had seen each one of the class of '27 in an important and honorable pursuit. “Thank you so much, Aladdin. You have been so kind and gracious to me, but I really think I must now go back to the Land of Living. But I am looking forward to telling everyone how important I know' our class to be. Farewell, Aladdin.' Aladdin salaamed. “I beg of you to come again. The visit of one of the members of the class of 27 has been an overwhelming and wonderful pleasure. I shall look forward to another visit.” He gave a few last salaams and then—Aladdin and the Land of Dreaming all vanished together as my lovely visions had done and I w'as In the Land of Living. Built by Human hands, Youthful singers gather Here from many lands. They are called the seekers Of Aladdin’s wares. In the Land of Living,— Never free from cares. ALUMNIGRAMS Hubert Ames .......

Elva Nelson Geraldine Oviatt Carroll Burton We began our vear with election of officers, and our first exploit, “The Goose Hangs High”, was the delightful play chosen for the talent of the class, which was very successful. The next event on our calendar was ably carried through by Arnold Shaw and Lamar Skelton, as our class delegates to the Older Boys’ Conference. As the corresponding girls’ event, the Girl Reserves Conference, was held here this year, all our girls had an opportunity to attend. The social climax of the Junior year was the annual J-Hop. The Hop was a brilliant function, and the class of 1928 feel justly proud of their noble acquittal of the affair. We closed our social year with the Senior Send-off. which we believe will give the Seniors better heart with which to enter on their new careers. _ � � o£. ___ Page 61 Members of the Junior Class Alveda Anderson Carrie Anderson Ellsworth Allison Eugene Agdonowiski Elmer Anderson l eter Andrefewski Lawrence Arndt Hugo Bergstrom Grace Barnett Lillian Blink.

This number was increased in February to 4 55. President—Frederick Fcnske. Vice-President—Paul Celknap. Secretary—Dorothy Eickemeyer. Treasurer—Donald McCausland. Sergeant-at-Arms—Dcnald McDonald. Although the Sophomores are a peppy class, we confined ourselves to the regular things because we were not allowed many social activities. At the Older Boys’ Conference at Jackson the Sophomores were represented by Hoyt Keagan and Lyle Reinhart. Margaret Berry, Mabel Halpin. Lenah Lemode, Virginia Jennings and Erne Learman represented the Sophs at the G. R. Convention held in good old Bay City. Although we have not shown up in social activities this year, we expect to make up for it next year.

Allen Markey Vice-President ..................................... Dorothy Wood Secretary............................................ Marvel Higgs Treasurer ........................................ Ernestine Perry The Agathos Chapter of the National Honor Society for secondary schools has been established in this school since June. 1924. The requirements for membership in Agathos are based on Leadership, Scholarship. Character, and Service. Election to this society is considered the highest honor that can be conferred on any student. Academic students are the only students who are eligible for membership to this society. Under the careful supervision of Miss Matilda Schroeder, faculty advisor, the Agathos members have been trying to serve their school. Working under the difficulty of having only eight members, the society has been functioning with success. By way of service the members have been assisting teachers by coaching students, correcting papers, and substituting in case of sick or absent teachers. Agathos is advocating both summer school and student government. They hope to see both established in Central in the future. The following members were welcomed to Agathos on April 1st: Clara Arneson. Ellsworth Allison. Ruby DeBats, Carol Copeland, Charlotte Etzold, William Hewitt, Olive Lagden, Edward MacMillan. Catherine Moore, Frederick Seidel, Floyd Schultz, Dorothy White, Jack Wheeler. Edith Wright. With the help of Miss Schroeder, we feel sure that these new members will do more and better service for their school during the next year. We hope that more students will be working with Agathos in view, as we need you and you need Agathos. The membership of this society includes, beside the new entrants: Catherine Bel-worthv, Ernestine Perry. Corinne Barber, Marion Youngs, Dorothy Wood, Marvel Higgs, Edwin Light, and Allen Markey. Page 76 Central Agricultural Society The purpose of the society is to further the interest in agriculture and to promote social activities anion Us members. The society was organized at the beginning of the semester; the membership is rather small, due to its recent origin and the limited number of students in school with agricultural interests. The following officers were elected for this semester: President. Paul Ratkos; vice-president. Dayton Martin; secretary. Ted Golebiewski; treasurer. Victor Pletzke. The Club is sponsored by Clayton R. Garlock, director of the Smith-Hughes Agriculture department. The members are as follows: Eugene Agdawonski. Harry Baldwin. Leonard Glaza. Ted Golibiewski, Dayton Martin. Victor Pletzke. Paul Ratkos. Walter Schultz, and Raymond Staudacher. The membership, though small in number, is an active one, and we hope gradually to build up a larger one. Any pupils of Central High school interested in any form of agriculture, is eligible to membership. The alumni members may continue as active members if they wish to do so. Paart 77 Boot and Buskin FIRST SEMESTER President—Bill Brownson. First Vice-President—Louise Ratkos. Second Vice-President—Verne Meisel. Secretary—Charlotte Etzold. Treasurer- Allen Markey. Sergeant-at-Arms—Joe Legatz. SECOND SEMESTER President—Virgil LaPorte. Vice-President—Delores Carpenter. Secretary—Catherine Moore. Treasurer—Allen Markey. Sergeant at Arms—Paul Compeau. The Boot and Buskin underwent a change this year in that Mr. Onians replaced Miss Grubbs as sponsor, and a new constitution was adopted. After the election of officers to preside for the first semester, and the division of the club into four groups for play production, new members were elected after the usual tryouts. Those voted in were: Caroline Harmon, Alice Isherwood, Virginia McDowell. Charlotte MacKinnon. C. E. Brown. Jack Nelson. F. J. Busch. Bob Wilhelm. Marian Hand. Viola Zingg. Paul Compeau. Harry Fuller. Ella Schneideman. George Wilson, Virginia Jennings and Geraldine Lupcke. Four one-act plays were given during the year: “The Florist Shop,” “The Unseen.” “Enter the Hero,” and “Shadow of the Glen”. The Boot and Buskin is a dramatic organization and its purpose is to promote interest in good drama and to develop in its members ability to interpret such drama. There are five faculty members: Miss Bishop. Miss Whitehouse. Mr. Klingbeil. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Yeakey, and one sponsor. Mr. Omans. Anyone with good standing scholastically may be admitted to the club either for interest and ability in dramatic art or in stagecraft. Pasre 78 Central Citizenship Club “The supreme business of the school is to develop a sense of justice, the power of initiative, independence of character, correct social and civic habits, and the ability to co-operate toward the common Rood These words of Dr. Frank Crane, state the purpose of Central’s Citizenship Club. It has never been the aim of the club to be spectacular, but rather by lending a hand where service is most needed to develop a sense of altruism. As the individual grains of sand in the mountain are unimportant, so the separate deeds of mending stage curtains, helping new girls to feel at home among us. calling attention to student responsibilities both in school and out, seem insignificant, yet these and many other acts of similar nature have made up the work of the C. C. club. It is hoped that the sum total of little deeds may help build a better Central. The club officers are as follows: President. Dorothy Downer; vice-president, Madeline Reckerson: secretary, Wilma Snover; treasurer, Viola Zingg. The sponsors are Miss Payne and Miss Hill, and the following are members: Clara Arneson, Ethel Burns, Madeline Beckerson. Carol Copeland, Helen Cramp-ton. Dorothy Downer, Charlotte Etzold, Fern Gouldberg. Marion Hand. Marvel Higgs, Virginia Jennings, Madeline Loeffert. Henrietta Meisel. Lela Nemode. Geraldine Oviatt. Catherine Plum. Betty Smith, Wilma Snover. Ruth Williamson. Viola Zingg. Pajre 79 Central Scientific and Literary Society The Central Scientific and Literary Society was originally organized in 1924 for the advancement of science and literature among the students. Since that time the club has broadened its scope of activities so that it also includes debating, dramatics, athletics, oratory and a number of other activities, all tending towards the general good of Central. The year was commenced by subjecting fifteen new members to a super-scientific initiation. After these members had recovered sufficiently, a football team was formed, which saw valient service on the field of battle. An assembly was next sponsored in which the club introduced its radio programs. During the varsity season the club attended to the field decorations, also cooperated by furnishing megaphones. To provide variety a very successful sleigh-ride and dance were provided. The club challenged the Council to a debate, which has become an annual affair, and also played a series of mushball games in the spring. At the beginning of the year, a bulletin board was instituted, which has been conducted throughout the year to the interest of the whole school. Dispersed throughout the club’s regular business meetings, have been a number of prominent speakers and interesting field trips, as also a mock trial and musical program. After the success of this program, additional speakers have been arranged for. and more spring field trips planned for. Sponsors for the group are F. B. Rogers and Charles Maloney, while the officers are: FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President .............. Chet. Miller Allen Markey Vice-President .........

Pajre 82 Ecclesia Literary Society The Ecclesia Literary Society for Kiris is established “to practice public speaking, parliamentary law, to instruct its members along literary lines and to promote in all ways the good of Central High School”. During the past year the Ecclesia has held many very interesting meetings. A committee was chosen for each meeting, and these committees have presented a brief study of some European or American country. In this way the girls have studied the music, literature, art, drama and amusements of most of the important countries of the world. This society has been very active in school activities. The girls sold small footballs at the games, thus contributing a goodly amount to the athletic funds. Each term the society elects officers. In September, the officers were: President—Helen Crampton. Vice-President—Dorothy White. Secretary—Theodora Gregory. Treasurer—Ruth Hutton. Critic—Catherine Bellworthy. The officers elected in February include: President—Dorothy White. Vice-President—lulus Trickey. Secretary—Dorothy Wood. Treasurer—Beatrice Moore. Critic—Marvel Higgs. The Ecclesia demands good scholarship, especially in English. It is to be noted that several Agathos members belong to the Ecclesia. Membership includes: Patricia Baumgarten, Mary G. Ballou. Catherine Bell-worthy. Beulah Beson. Marjorie Cookson. Helen Crampton. Genevieve Davis. Ruby DeBats. Beatrice Fischer. Dorothea Gallin. Margaret Gibson. Theodora Gregory. Marvel Higgs. Mae Holiabaugh. Ruth Hutton. Virginia Jennings.

Beulah Beson Mrs. E. B. Perry The Friendly Girl Reserves, organized in 1920. was the outcome of a small social club, whose members were dissatisfied with organizations lacking in purpose and helpful inspiration. The purpose has been that of the National Girl Reserve movement: “I will do my best to honor God, my country, and my community, to help other girls, and be in all ways a loyal, true member of the Girl Reserves. We have also aimed to develop leadership, and have expected our members to stand for all that is best in nome. school and church. The semi-annual awarding of the cup (the recipient being determined by the faculty), has been on a basis of scholarship, leadership, and character. Thus far it has been held by Marian Youngs. Ruth Carney, Dorothy White, and Catherine Bel worthy. Requirements for entrance have been good scholarship, outstanding character, and willing service—a high type of Christian girlhood. The membership is as follows: Patricia Baumgarten. Catherine Belworthy, Beulah Beson. Carol Copeland. Dorothy Downer. Charlotte Etzold, Charlotte MacKinnon. Beth Miller. Sylvia Miller. Elizabeth Nelson. Ernestine Perry, Catherine Plum. Betty Smith, Marguerite Vallender. Dorothy White, Ruth Williamson. Marian Williston, Kathleen Woodbury, Edith Wright, Marian Youngs. Ruth Carney. Florence Harmon, Anne Ross. Betty Shaw. Paire 84 High School Girl Reserves The membership of the Inter-club Council of Girl Reserves is composed of the officers and committee chairman of the three clubs of Girl Reserves existing in our high school. The officers of the Inter-club Council are: President. Betty Smith; vice-president. Dorothy White; secretary, Carol Copeland; treasurer, Virginia Jennings. The Inter-club Council is the department of the Girl Reserves where the plans of the three groups are discussed and corelated. The Inter-club Council sponsors all activities of the High School Girl Reserves as a whole. This year, the main events in the calendar have been Mid-winter State Girl Reserve Conference, Easter vesper service. Japanese doll festival. Girl Reserve rally in September. Christmas services at the county infirmary, parties given for inmates of the Woman’s Home, health carnival. Vocational Guidance conference. Girl Reserve and Hi-Y assembly. Girl Reserve tag day. movie at Central auditorium. All girls of Central high school are welcome to the Girl Reserve organization, as its membership is open. The membership is divided according to grades. Senior. Junior and Sophomore. Each group has its own officers and club, and each works under the plans formulated in the Inter-Club Council. Hi-Y Club Early in November the Bay City Hi-Y, which is affiliated with the National Secondary School Boys’ Organization, met to reorganize for the ensuing year, and the following officers were elected: President. Edward Meisel; vice-president, Marvin Mathews; treasurer. Frederick Nitschky; secretary, Paul Belknap: and sergeant-at-arms. Donald MacDonald. Under these officers, who are assisted by Fred B. Rogers, faculty adviser, and Otto G. Knechtel. boys work secretary of the “Y”. the club is putting on a splendid program. Each Monday evening since the firot meeting of this season, the organization has met for dinner, a social time, to listen to a well known speaker, and to attend discussion groups. The boys were fortunate in securing splendid leaders for these discussion groups. The Junior College group is led by Leslie P. Kefgen, the Senior group by Warren E. Carter, the Juniors by A. E. Hildebrandt. and the Sophomores have as their leader. Louis Meisel. Among the many activities in which the club has participated are: Acting as waiters at the Girl Reserve banquet; putting on a party in conjunction with the Girl Reserves: having a prohibition debate; sponsoring a paper selling campaign to raise money for “World Brotherhood' ; having a Girl Reserve Hi-Y assembly and tag day to collect funds for Near East Relief, and. during May and the early portion of June the organization will put on a “find yourself” campaign for the boys of Central, have its final retreat at Sand Lake, and give its annual banquet. Although the club is non-restrictive as to members, it is believed that it is composed of a hundred fellows who truly have as their purpose “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” Pa«e 86 P. E. P. Club Purpose: To give and to receive the best from our everyday school life.

Mr. Klingbeil On December (?), 1926, the Junior class presented its annual play, “The Goose Hangs High”. This play has had long runs in the larger cities and has proven successful wherever it has been given. The presentation by the Junior class was no exception, and it was succesful in every way. All the leads and minor parts were well taken, and since the players were disguised by no costumes the play called for good dramatic ability and naturalness, which was fully shown by the cast. In every point the presentation was a marked success and much credit is due to the cast, the technical staff and Mr. Klingbiel, who directed the play. Paire 80 “Colonial Echoes” This darky medley in four “spasms”, arranged by Miss MacGregor and presented by the Music department, under the direction of Charles White, was one of the most beautiful entertainments ever given. It appealed to both the eye and the ear. The costumes, made by the faculty, were very attractive and becoming, and contributed much to the gorgeous color effects achieved. The singing and dancing, of which the show was mainly composed, was so varied in scope that one’s enjoyment was taxed to the full.

BOYS GLEE CLUB This group of thirty boys is the largest ever had here at Central. This group also took part in the luncheon concert and “Colonial Echoes”, State Music contest. May 13. BAY CITY CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND Activities of the Central High School Band The Band was established this year on a par with other academic subjects. They were given two periods per day and an enrollment of 58 members, of which 30 were new and dreadfully green. They turned out for every football game, including the Flint game, at which the Flint band played and marched with them in ensemble. The Band also journeyed to Saginaw for the Arthur Hill game. The basketball season came as quickly as the football season left, and again the Band came forth and played at most of the games. They also played for the State Sectional Basket Ball tournament, which was held in the school gymnasium. At an inter-city Rotary Club banquet last fall they furnished a fine musical program. They were the guests of the Kiwanas Club in a joint banquet given for the school football teams of the city, at which Benny Friedman, the star of the U. of 1. football team, was the main speaker. Directly following the Christmas vacation the Band turned their attention to the big event of the season, namely. “The Band Frolic”. The Frolic took the place of the annual concert, a vaudeville show in which the Band featured. This Frolic was given on February 22, to a full house, and repeated on Sunday, February 27. All the scenery which was used in this Frolic was made by the members of the organization, and it will be eventually turned over to the school. The uniforms that have been worn in past years were not used in this concert, as there w ere 60 men in the Band and only 44 suits. After the concert their next engagement was at the Regent Theatre on Monday. March 21. May 28 finds them on their way to Lansing to compete with 25 other similar organizations for state honors. For what the band is we thank Mr. White, our director, who has worked untiringly this year to make it a continued success. Also credit is due our drum major and business manager. Robert Lusk, who directs the concert and engagement arrangements. as well as being responsible for the military organization and marching formations. ORCHESTRA The Orchestra this year has fifty pieces, and. for the first time since State music contests have been held, this group goes with full instrumentation, to compete in the contest. The Orchestra played all accompaniments for “Colonial Echoes’ . MIXED CHORUS After the splendid showing of the mixed chorus in the state music finale last year, this group has quite a reputation to uphold. They were invited to appear in Flint with the Flint Symphony orchestra, hut financial circumstances would not permit it. This group also took part in the luncheon concert at the Wenonah Hotel and the performance of “Colonial Echoes”. Pajje 96 FOREWORD We wish to take but a brief moment here to congratulate the teams upon their splendid sportsmanship. Our boys have always been good sportsmen, even if the opposition did at times lose sight of that goal. During the football season, after the Flint-Bay City game, the referee later said that, in all his experience in football, he had never encountered a game so devoid of fouling and full of sportsmanship as the one in which he had just officiated. That is a compliment any team could feel proud to claim. We also desire to compliment the students for turning out so faithfully at all games, and spurring the boys to victory. Page 97 Football Central High’s football team have this season gained a record that any eleven would be desirous and covetous of possessing. Definitely and securely, they have established themselves as one of the best aggregations in the state, and yet the team is composed almost entirely of first and second year men. Chief’s ability to round a green team into a smooth working combination is the primary reason for Central’s success. Upon the squad’s head is perched now the laurels of a valley championship. Our boys assumed superiority over valley teams by decisively defeating Flint Central last year’s champion. Our real strength was exhibited, however, when Grand Rapids Catholics, one of the few class A teams from a Catholic school and a contestant for the state title, suffered an 18-0 defeat. Further glory was heaped upon Central’s head when two of her men. Jack Wheeler and Billy Williams, were selected on the All-State team at halfback and guard respectively. • • There have been a few losses this season, but the victories surpass them by far. We hope that future years will be as successful as the past one has been. Page 98 Basketball Bay City’s basketball five have been as wonderfully fortunate in their tilts as have the football team. By winning the Valley championship they duplicated the eleven’s feat. Although we are Valley champs, we failed, as last year, to place in the regional tournament, losing to Flint Central in a close nerve-racking game. Flint, in the last few minutes of play, snatched the lead and never relinquished it. Only three games were lost throughout the entire season, two of them being lost to two of the strongest teams in the state, Lansing and Ann Arbor. These losses were atoned for in full when Battle Creek, the Michigan combination that entered the national championships and went to the semi-finals, was defeated. A team that does a thing such as that can well lay claim to being one of the most prominent state fives. Next season is fully expected to be as great a success as this, the past, has been. We wish the team luck. Baseball The first game of the regular baseball season was staged here with Arthur Hill on Ma ( at ( larkson Park. The long dead Saginaw Valley League has been revived and re-organized for this summer. The league consists of the two Saginaw teams. Flint, and Bay City. Two games with each club, six in all. have been scheduled for this season. In addition to this. Central will encounter Battle Creek and the Michigan State freshmen on their opponent’s field. Three of the valley games will be played here. Most of the Valley teams, excepting Bay City, are woefully weak this year as a result of long inactivity in baseball. A recent example of this was exhibited when Arthur Hill was soundly trounced by St. Charles, a team which under normal conditions they could easily have beaten. However, the two Saginaw teams, and Flint and Bay City are always at their best when opposing each other, and there are sure to be some close and very hard games played. II II Cheer Leaders Pep assemblies were not'held as regularly this year prior to the big games as in the past, but with such cheer leaders as Howard Mitchell, Mike Arhutick and Joe Legatz, the fiery-haired one, they were not needed. Speaking of cheering, recalls Joe Legatz’s extraordinary ability to draw yells from the crowd. We bet Joe could get more yells from the students than could an announcement of a six months' vacation. The other two cheer-leaders. Mike Arhutick and Howard Mitchell, should also be highly complimented for their inspiring work. Pave too V 1 r Life Saving Class In February Miss Ada Royal, Girls Health Education director, invited all who were interested in Red Cross life-saving to join a class for that purpose. Forty girls responded Instructions were given every Monday from 3:15 to 4:15 o’clock. The girls were very enthusiastic in their endeavor to break holds, carry drowning victims, disrobe in water and. at times, to fill their victims with water. The examination will be give« at the end of the semester and Miss Royal is confident that we will have many Central girls displaying Red Cross emblems at the beaches this summer. Commodore Longfellow, of the Red Cross national board, visited us in February and gave three demonstrations assisted by eight Central girls. Over one thousand people sawr these demonstrations. The girls were very encouraged by his favorable comments on their work. Page 101 Fencing Team The Fencing team which was organized this semester under the leadership of Myron Poole has already, through the pep and enthusiasm shown by its members, placed itself in a class with some of the older organizations of Central. The class consisted of eighteen members and held meetings every night for about two months until every member became quite proficient in the art of wielding the foil. A Hound Hobin tournament was held for the purpose of choosing the team, which resulted as follows: Myron Poole, captain; James Bailey, Bousfleld Ward. Kdward MacMillan. Warren Snogren. Fencing is becoming more and more popular in the high schools of the State,, and it is expected in the future that Central will have an opportunity of defending her honor in competition with outside schools. m in EDITORIAL □!_________□ STUDENT GOALS Work! Most of us detest that word. It suggests so many disagreeable visions to us that we say it in scorn. Something that must he done and which we don’t care to do is called—work. All of us enjoy doing something which may be easy or difficult to perform. We designate this pleasure by the word “Fun”, and we say it happily. There is a difference in the meaning of the words, but only in the brain of the individual. We look with curiosity at the avid worker, and we exclaim in pity, Poor fellow! He will soon wear himself out working like that.” The object of our regret only returns our remark with a look of smiling contempt. We are not living he is. All the pleasures we enjoy are made possible by someone’s labor. A recreational park is made by work on the part of the officials. A play is presented only after the actors have worked hard. Everything we use is made by some man’s labor. We are surrounded by the necessity of working, yet we try to escape it—and only for the reason that we must do it. However, some of us are realizing more and more that we only exist in life by working. On the other hand, we can toil diligently day in and day out and accomplish nothing. We must have a goal—a purpose. We heard recently of a clever young lady whose most difficult work was to arrive at school on time. It finally became a puzzle to her friends, who tried to find out the reason for her constant tardiness. At last one determined to investigate more thoroughly. It was soon discovered that the young woman was tardy because each morning she tried to get to school—whenever she could reach there! She did not aim to arrive on time. She is a typical example of many of us. We set no goal, and even we do not relinquish it after a feeble effort at accomplishment. For that reason we never arrive at our destination. McCombs wanted Woodrow Wilson to be president, and he made him President! You wrant to be a great lawyer, a doctor, a writer or teacher? Be that! Page 103 □i: D EDITORIAL □[ D BOOKS “Tell me who your companions are and I’ll tell you what sort of character you possess.” That old saying has been changed to “Tell me the names of the hooks you read and I'll give you a picture of your character.” By the books of a nation, its history, its ideals, its civilization, are preserved for future generations. There are many kinds of books. Some of them improve the mind of the reader, others act in a different manner.—tragedies play upon the deeper emotions, comedies play upon the sense of humor, but the man who has not found books to suit his varying moods is indeed missing some of the pleasures which make life worth living. Books provide the man without the means to travel with word pictures of every part of the world. The magic of Aladdin's palace, the mystery of the Orient, the glamor of Paris, the romances of Spain, all can be found in the realm of books. Many people have found the endless joys, the pleasures, the companionships to be gathered from books, but to the many who have not discovered these wonderful things, we say: “Kind the world of books before it is too late”. We often hear of the “nouveau rich” who till a library with books whose bindings match the wallpaper or the curtains. Several years later the grandchildren of these people are obliged to sell these books, which are wonderfully preserved—in fact in the course of many years they have been opened but very few times, probably by children who desired to look at the pictures. Have these people really been happy? Have they really enjoyed their money? We do not think so. Something has been lacking in their lives; some essential has been omitted. It is not the person who has a great deal of money, but the person who has learned to derive the greatest enjoyment and benefit from life who has really lived. And can anyone, no matter how high his station, do this without books? Pair 104 A Sabbath Day One Sabbath day, ’twas in the summer bright. When earth with Nature’s jewels was benight, When flowers with open petals waited free. That gentle touch, the “sesame” of a bee, When birds sang merrily their song above. And Nature seemed all full of heavenly love; It happened that to church this fair Sunday A group of country folk did make their way. When that the sun had just begun to rise And Nature all did ope her dewy eyes. Along the road that led into the town. All glistening in the sun, the road adown. They came. Full pompous company they made, All in their sabbath garments were arrayed. First rode the worthy farmer in his rig. Arrayed in rusty black, but withal trig. Upon his honest face a smile he wore Well suited to the day. and. what is more. He wore it fit, for not a debt he owed,— So ofT his shoulders was man’s heavy load; And kind he always was to every man Who asked him aid. e’er since his life began. Beside him straight his only daughter sat; Of fashion latest was her flowered hat And rustling gown. But she was. all in all. As sweet a maid as graced a baron s hall. Within one hand she held her book of prayer And in its mate a group of flowers fair. He often turned her head to smile so swfeet At Goodman John, who, when her glance did meet. Did turn away and gaze, extreme devout. At nothing but the dusty road about. He was attired in clothes of sober hue Of ancient cut—their style w as lost to view. But in his coat he wore a flower fair. Who cares to guess what hand had put it there? A bashful swain was he, but worked well. The farmer’s right-hand man. I’ve heard him tell Next to him sat my dame, of haughty mein. Of visage pale, of body long and lean. Her rare sweet smile did show her loving heart. Though some might fear she lacked that gentle art. Upon the Scriptures bent her solemn eye; The text she knew, for she would sooner die Than go to church and fail to answer well When the good parson first the verse did tell. When that she saw the maiden glance behind; She frowned most fierce; but in her heart and mind Was glad, for Goodman John she knew Would be good husband, and a good son. too. So journeyed they along the country lane. While in the trees above the birds would feign Proclaim their woship. Twas the Sabbath day— They knew it. That was why they sang so gay. Soon to the church they came, about did go. To one and all with greeting, to and fro. Until the sexton tolled the warning bell; Then all did enter and did listen well To parson’s talk, save one who fell asleep. And when pinched to wake, he near did leap Out of his place, which caused no little smile To go around. Then, but a little while, The choir sang, in which our maid took part. And Goodman John did hark with all his heart. Soon by the parson was the church dismissed, The hearers free to go wher’er they list. The farmer, dame, the maid, and Goodman John Again their homeward way embarked upon. And pondered o’er the good words they had heard With spirits softened and with conscience stirred. Fa.'r Marigold woke one morning in Spring, While close by her side Sweet William did sing, “Dear Maiden, will you be my Morning Bride, And from now Everlasting be close to my side?” Then Marigold dressed, assisted by three. Dear Daisy, and Pansy, and bashful Sweet pea. Canterbury Bells were then heard to ring. For the wedding at four o’clock would begin. As up to the alter they slowly walked The Snap Dragon whispered, “Dear. Forget-me-not!” Old Cardinal Climber was anxiously waiting, For he was chosen to perform the mating. —Elva Nelson. Wedding Flowers A —Sibyl Hiler. EDITORIAL □ □ THE VALUE OF SCHOOL ORGANIZATION There is nothing in the life of a High school student which offers a greater opportunity for development along lines which he may be called upon to act later in life, than the experience and education he receives w'hile being connected with some school organization. The active connection with a society or any organization is of unlimited and far-reaching benefit to the student who thus affiliates himself. The boy and the girl of today are the man and woman of tomorrow. They will conduct the civil, state, and national affairs of tomorrow just as they are being run today by the boys and girls of yesterday. The young people you see passing through the corridors of our institutions of learning will conduct the business, professional and educational afTairs of the future just as surely as the sun will rise and set on the tomorrow. The question is: What will best prepare them and give them initiative for carrying on the duties which they will so surely be called upon to assume? The sanest answer is to give them the experience and actual practice, which can be found only in conducting, regulating, and carrying to a successful issue some school activity. Such organizations develop loyalty without which the future affairs of the community can not be successfully carried on. They develop, under proper guidance, sound judgment, ability, leadership and consideration for others, which w’ill eventually make for a better city, state, and nation. Therefore it behooves the student to choose, from the many splendid organizations which the school offers, one to which he is eminently suited, and work intelligently with it and for it. Thus trained, we may see a new' day in the larger affairs of the future. —Jack Vallender. Page 107 Te Salutamus Seniors, we salute you! at the end Of your careers. Successful they have been.

There has been a growing interest for the last five years in the exchanging of our school paper with those of other schools throughout the country. This has been a real benefit to us, in that we are able to gain new ideas in subject matter and publication. We feel that the criticisms of others have been helpful to us in putting out our paper, and we hope that ours have done a like service for other papers.

His brow was livid and creased, And over and over again, he sung A song which never ceased. “Work. Work. Work. Runs like lire in my brain; Work. Work. Work, Pounding verse and refrain. Physics. Latin and Math.. History, English and Chem., Flowing between two points. Forward and hack again. Passing before my eyes. Splitting my aching head, 'Til I know I shall go mad. But no—this must be read: I dare not stop or pause, I must not hesitate; A spectre harsh and grim Drives me early and late. I plainly see her there— ‘La Teacher Sans Merci — And she writes and writes and writes. Practicing on her E. So work. work, work,. Till the dawn begins to pale; Work. work. work. For I can't afford to fail. History, English and Chem., Physics. Latin and Math., Work. work. work. And avoid the awful wrath. This was the song of a student. As he bent ’neath his load of care; Would that the heartless teachers. Could see him lab’ring there. —William Brownson. Confession of a Senior A Oh, it s great to be a Senior And to gaze with fine contempt On the lowly lower classmen Who pass, heads humbly bent. And it’s nice to go home early. Or else sleep an hour late. And have those little privileges Which others do not rate. Oh. the caps and gowns are handsome And the senior doings nice; All the glory is alluring. But—all glory has its price. For amid the Senior splendor My elation takes a slump. When I think of that grim sentence: “Well, you’re leaving the old dump.” There is much ahead to strive for, But that can’t quite kill the pain. And I’d almost like to throw it Just to be a soph again! —William Brownson. t -$ 4 J « I OC - Patre 111 The Successful Hunter There is a story told of two experienced hunters who went on a hunting expedition. After their first unsuccessful day of hunting, the two companions decided to make camp. That evening, as darkness grew on, the pals sat beside the campfire. The older one began the conversation by relating his most thrilling adventure. He said that one day he took his rifle and went across the meadows over the hills and into the forest. After a short time he came to a rail fence. On this fence sat fifty snipe. Taking careful aim at the end snipe he pulled the trigger and his bullet passed through every snipe, killing each instantly. He then picked them up and took them home. The other fellow, not to be outdone by an older person, decided to relate one of his trivial experiences. He said that one day he took his trusty shotgun; he went across the low meadows, over the high hills, and into the dense jungles of the Sahara desert. After advancing a few hundred feet he came to a dense thicket. Cautiously peering into the tangle of bushes, he saw 1000 quail sitting in the grass. Taking careful aim he was about to pull the trigger, when he heard a quacking noise behind him. Turning quickly he discovered a pond in which were 1001 ducks. He forgot all about the quail, and. shifting his aim. was about to shoot when to his right he heard a twig break. Glancing quickly he saw a huge deer. Immediately he forgot all about the ducks and had swung his shotgun to cover the deer when he heard a hissing sound at his feet. Looking downward he saw a huge boa-constrictor about to crush him. By this time he was more or less excited. He pulled both triggers at once and the gun exploded. The right barrel flew into the thicket and killed the 1000 quail; the left barrel flew into the lake and killed the 1001 ducks; the lead slugs flew straight ahead and killed the huge deer; the ramrod flew down the boa constrictor’s throat and choked him to death; while the butt of the gun kicked the hunter into the ocean and he came up with his boots full of fish. —Walter Coplin. { n=i I— Pleasure Under a spreading chestnut tree, A stubborn Fordlet stands; The smith a mighty man is he. With trouble on his hands. The carburetor seems to be The cause of all his woe; He tightens half a dozen bolts. But still it doesn’t go. He sits beside the road to give His brains a chance to cool. And ponders on his training at The correspondence school. And then he starts his job once more And just by chance ’tis seen. The cause of all his trouble is He’s out of gasoline.
