And so the 1912 Prospectus. May this hook, the retrospect of our life in Flint High School, gladden our hearts in future years when we turn its pages and remember. May our friends, who chance to see it, glean from its pages something of the life that has meant so much to us. May our teachers remember by this book the record of a class that has profited so much by contact with them; and by it, too, may they remember the lasting debt of love and gratitude that we owe to them. If this book accomplishes any of these things, we, the Class of 1912, will know that our purpose in writing it was not in vain. We. the (Class of ninetttn l!un rti tmeltie hehicate tliis, our last mork, to J iuts |)cu mdcc mho lias morkeb earnestly in our btltalf. mhose cheerful tiietat of tliiiiys has hone murlt to make our Senior year a pleasant one anil in mhont uie recognise a sincere frienh. An Appreciation Emerson says: “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” And that must certainly be the reason why Mr. Wade, our Principal, has so many friends among the students of Flint High School. He has made us realize the fact that he is our friend. Mr. Wade’s loyalty and devotion to us has called forth an eager re- sponse. We, the Seniors, have recognized the executive ability, the energy and capacity for accomplishing things that has marked all of his works and we have earnestly tried to work with him for the good of the school. We have recognized in Mr. Wade a friend, full of sympathy and enthusiasm, broad-minded, temperate and just in all his dealings with us. Mr. Wade has gained the confidence and affection of nearly five hun- dred young people. We, the Class of 12, who are about to leave Flint High School forever, count ourselves fortunate, indeed, that we carry away with us the memory of such a leader and friend. Mr. Alvin X.

MCFARLAN FLOSSIE MYRTLE WOOD RITA BELLE TOWER Cunt ora Me «Mention GRANT BARKLEY STURGIS CHARLES GOODRICH The Class of 1912 is about to face a new set of conditions. No longer shall we obey the summons of the school bell. Our text books will soon be closed, not to be reopened and high school days will be over. Yet we shall not cease to be students. We are closing our geometries and histories to learn theorems in the greater geometry of life and to enact history in the conditions that surround us. We are only going “out of school life into Life’s school.” In this greater school, as in the one just completed, we shall succeed or fail in proportion to the effort we make and the ideals we set before ourselves. There will be those who succeed; there will also be the “hunkers.” Which each shall be rests with himself. But our best efforts will avail us nothing unless we direct them toward the attainment of some definite purpose. “They build too low who build beneath the stars.” While our positions after leaving school must inevitably be very unlike, yet to all of us is given the one great equal chance—to aim not lower than the stars. Indeed, we can do more, we can labor toward the accomplishment of that aim. And he cannot be a failure who earnestly strives to attain a high ideal. The editors wish to thank the several members of the faculty, and all others, who have aided them in making this book a success. They are especially indebted to Miss Lilian Gold and Miss Mary S. Seymour, faculty members of the Staff, for valuable suggestions and criticisms. The Staff also desires to state its appreciation of the painstaking efforts of Mr. Becker, the Class photographer. Copan, (the Jfimtottcn (Citii By The Hon. Fenton R. McCreery, former United States Minister to Honduras When Cortez landed in the Western World in 1519 he found Mexico ruled by Montezuma, with Tenochtitlan or the City of Mexico as his Capital. The Aztecs were a semi-civilized people, agriculturists, stone-workers, potters, warriors. The Great Temple of Mexico was a marvel in the eyes of the Spaniards, as was the splendor of Montezuma’s Court and Palaces. The ability and strategy, the arque- buses and powder, the horses and armor of the Spaniards soon overthrew Monte- zuma and planted in the Kingdom of the Aztecs the standard of Castile and Ara- gon. As the Dominion of Spain was extended to the North and to the South re- mains of Cities which had been deserted for centuries were discovered. These Cities were overgrown by the tropical forrest long years before Montezuma ruled in Mexico. There were Uxmal and Chichen-Ytza in Yucatan, Palenque in Chiapas, Quirigua in Guatemala and Copan in Honduras. In July of last year I traveled on horseback seven days, from Guatemala City to western Honduras to visit the ruins of Copan. We took a couple of mules for the baggage and a guide. When night came we swung our hammocks in some wayside hut and occasionally indulged in the luxury of a cot in some hamlet. Before daylight we were on the trail. From the modern town of Copan we were taken by the Alcalde to the ruins of the ancient City two miles away. Emerging from a corn field we came into an opening covered with high brush. The machetes of the ten men brought by the Alcalde cleared a path through the brush. We came to a stone pillar fifteen feet square. On one side was carved the figure of a man with an elaborate head dress, ear ornaments, bracelets, a coat extending below the waist, sandals and orna- ments just below the knees. The face was round and smooth, the eyes slightly suggested the Asiatic. On the opposite side of the column was another figure carved in the stone. They may have been Kings, Chiefs or Sages. On the other two sides of the pillar are inscriptions which have not been deciphered, in fact none of the many inscriptions found in Copan have been deciphered. There were two rows of these monoliths with carved figures facing each other. It may have been the Acropolis or the Via Sacra of this long forgotten Na- tion. This Avenue led into a Plaza or Square on the four sides of which were truncated Pyramids of earth with stone steps covering their heads. Here was a pyramid the size of our High School cut off square at the second story. On the top were ruins of buildings, temples probably, into the walls of which enormous trees have grown. From this Plaza avenues led to other Plazas around which were temple-crowned pyramids and remains of buildings. At the base of one of the Pyramids was a frieze of death’s heads with a large sacrificial stone a few feet away. There were a number of altars evidently for sacri- fice, among the ruins which extended along the bank of the Rio Copan for two miles. It is not known whether human sacrifice was practiced among the ancient Oopaneros as it was among the Aztecs. We might picture a victorious army marching along these avenues halting to salute the statues of the Great Men and kneeling before the Temples of their Gods to give thanks and offer sacrifice. Or we might imagine the populace gath- ered in the great Amphitheater to listen to the proclamation of King or General or the decree of the Council of Wise Men. There are the remains of an aqueduct, tunnels through the hills still open and flagstones indicating that streets and squares may have been paved. There are strange and frightful animals carved in stone, intended evidently to inspire awe, possibly Gods. It was a vast City, mayhap, a City of Temples and Tombs. As the sun was sinking we left this Ancient Capital of a forgotten Kingdom and turned our horses into the cornfield and wended our way back to the Town. The Alcalde told me that among his people there are no traditidns of the ruins or of the race that built the ancient City; that there were many who knew the loca- tion of each ruin, but not one who could tell anything of the builders.

SCENE I. Campus of the Flint High School. A fine September morning in the year 1908. Enter the largest company of Soon-to-Be-Freshmen that ever graced the green. The usual description of the species applies. But note the high brows! The time hon- ored role is at once thrust upon them. They are the installed entertainers. Sym- pathy for the upper classmen in the strenuous life of the higher planes, fills the hearts of the newcomers. They seek to bring smiles to the careworn faces by dancing jigs, speaking pieces, doing acrobatic stunts in the trees, and being gen- erally agreeable. SCENE II. Interior ofthe F. H. S. Freshmen are seen scurrying hither and thither, according to the latest directions issued by the obliging (?) students. At last they find themselves gath- ered under the protecting care of Miss Fuller and Miss McMullen and there they demonstrate their great love for leaning, to the delight of their teachers. SCENE III. Freshmen session room 3:10 P. M. The usual calm prevails which always marks the class of 1912, (except when outside elements creep in.) Mr. Farley addresses the meeting. He urges the need of organizing, and maintains that law and order are the first requi- sites of civilization. Accordingly a Constitutional convention is held and later the following officers are elected: Herbert C. Murphy, President Sarah Gillespie, Vice President Faye Bovee, Secretary Charles H. Mann, Treasurer. SCENE IV. Same as Scene III. Time—June. The Freshmen are holding an indignation meeting. Resolved, that by this time the other classes ought to be able to amuse themselves without the aid of the class of 1912. Plans are then made for the picnic at Owana Park. Here their longings are realized and they, at last, have time to enjoy themselves. ACT II. SCENE I. Room O, Miss Smith, Stage Manager. Class election is soon in order, Harold MacFarlan, whose diplomatic powers have been early recognized, is chosen president; Fayette Abbey, Vice President; Faye Bovee, who has already proved her worth, is elected secretary; and Charles Carrol is made treasurer. SCENE II. ROOM O. Mr. Wade’s fatherly care tor all little Freshmen makes him imagine them abused. He pleads with the Sophomores and asks them to have a contest with the Freshies. He suggests a tug-of-war across the creek, as a farce to lead them to think all class feeling settled and quiet their pugilistic tendencies toward 1912. He concludes by warning the Sophomores to be very careful of the little fellows. SCENE III. Thread Creek. Time, September 10th. Freshmen, all with anxious mien, are arrayed in line of battle on one bank. On the opposite bank are half as many Sophs., looking like martyrs; for their captain is reminding them not to forget, in the desire to “kill ’em,” Mr. Wade’s earnest supplications. So the Sophomores allow the Freshmen to pull them through, much to the children’s delight. For 1912 fully realizes that, should the Freshies tumble in, it would be impossible to distinguish them from the sea weed. SCENE IV. Athletic Park, October 1st. Football game, Freshmen vs. Sophomores. Sophomores defeat their oppon- ents with a score of 10-0. Freshies slink home realizing their inability to play a man’s game. SCENE V. October Evening, Harvest Moon shining. Sophomores enjoy a hay-ride to Frances Cook’s home. Here the boys try to see who can devour the greatest number of doughnuts. SCENE VI. Room O, New Scenery. The Sophomores, entering on a Monday morning are astonished to find that Miss Smith, convinced of the superior playing ability of the Sophomore company has had a platform installed, from which she may issue stage directions and watch more critically the progress of the Star players in the South West corner of the room. SCENE VII. M. S. D. Ball Park. Sophomores mar the Senior’s baseball record, much to the chagrin of the class of 1910. But what could they expect, since the class of 1912 has furnished and still boasts the champion baseball players of the school! SCENE VIII. Owana Park. Time June 23d. The class again celebrates at a picnic up the river. Here endeth the the- atrical career, of the Sophomores of 1912. ACT III. SCENE I. Again Room O, 8:30 A. M., Sept. 1910. Enter newly organized Junior company, who find that their new manager. Miss Veit, has ordered the removal of the 10 x 6 ft. platform. The first meeting held is a Thanksgiving and Memorial service for the Seventh Hour, now made unnecessary by the high intellectual powers of the class of 1912. SCENE II. Same as Scene I. 3:10 P. M. Juniors elect class officers. The two brightest lights in the Class namely Charles Mullin and Leila G. Brock, are elected president and vice-president re- spectively. Naomi McGovern is made secretary, and Herbert Murphy, treasurer. Upon Mr. Murphy’s departure from school, Grover C. Whyte is later chosen to perform the duties of this office. SCENE 111. Junior-Senior Class Rush. Honors as well as colors evenly divided. SCENE IV. F. U. B. Hall, Junior-Senior Party, December 2d. First number on the program: Full dress parade, led by Mr. Wade. Mr. Wellwood assures the ladies of the faculty that the cider is really sweet. ACT IV. SCENE I. Room O, Flint High School Miss Mudge, Directrix These seventy-five majestic characters are the Seniors of 1912. SCENE II. Setting, A deep twilight enveloping the Doyle School. Dark forms are skulking around the shadowy hulk. Silently, one by one Juniors arrive, expecting to be met by fellow-classmen. But behold! the forms resolve themselves into Seniors. Their plot, which the Seniors (perhaps (?) by the aid of a Dictagraph) have discovered, is undone. While one of their oppon- ents administers a Bear hug, another ties them. Having thus piled up about two cords of Juniors, the Seniors transport their victims to rural scenes and tie them to trees. Looking back on their way to Flint the victors see a light, but decide ’tis only the sparky Moon, trying to sever his bonds. The deep darkness of midnight settles down over the stage, and all is quiet save for the howls of the vanquished. SCENE III. Room O, After P. M. Session Miss Mudge overlooks the fine personal qualities of some of her actors and criticises their acts. Many rehearse after school. Our vaudeville star, otherwise our Honorable President, makes this a regular practice. SCENE IV. A Frosty, Star-lit night. Seniors indulge in a sleigh ride to the O’Connor home. Certain Seniors are caught in the act of star-gazing. ( Later when they air knowledge of the solar system in the English Literature class, Miss Gold fails to see why this particular class thinks it at all necessary to take said subject.) (Many dress rehearsals precede the final scene.) SCENE V. Curtain rises on the class of 1912 for the last time. Before the fall each receives the much coveted “sheepskin,” and makes his final bow as a member of the Senior cast. (Hiass Poem On life’s journey we are starting With a strong and steady stride. And a sadness comes with parting From true friends with whom we bide. Sighs and joys we’ve shared together Through the last four fleeting years, Will the future bring fair weather? Does it promise joy or tears? Let this parting make us stronger To select life’s chosen tool, For remember, we’re no longer Pupils of old Flint High School. Soon our elders’ tasks we’ll shoulder The destiny of these states to mold; Then let not ambition smoulder Till we’re gathered in His fold. We each hope for fame and honor, In the years that stretch away. May we progress upward, onward, But never from our pathway stray. Let us care for those in trouble As toward our goal we race. Little deeds of kindness double The rewards of life’s long chase. Heed these lines: ’twill make you better, Stronger men and women, too, And the world will be your debtor For the work that you will do. Let us not forget our teachers Who have guided us through youth; They with kindly face and features Have directed us in truth. To my verse now comes an ending, Let us all together delve In future with a noble purpose Honoring always Nineteen Twelve. Flint, Mich., June 25th, 1922. Dear Florence, 1 am so sorry you couldn’t come to the reunion, but I am going to send you a full account of it for I know you will be glad to hear about everybody and everything. The affair was held in the big auditorium of the new high school. Palms and pennants were everywhere in evidence and the class colors were carried out by the use of yellow and white roses. These were interspersed by innumer- able electric lights. In the receiving line were our former president, H. J. McFarlan, who has recently been conducting a Socialist strike in Texas, Countess Percilvanius Du Goldrox, (nee Lucile Houran), J. Ward McCreery, purser on Capt. IngalPs palatial airship, Faye Bovee who you remember used to be so amiable, now married and a regular crank (so they say), Ferris Briscoe, professor of astronomy in the Univer- sity of Utah, and Mona Cooley, now a Washington society lobbyist. Most of the time was taken up in talking over old times and renewing old acquaintances. From conversation with different ones I learned many things about our classmates which you will be glad to know. Bessie O’Connor has a Marconi wireless tower which she operates herself. Three of our class have founded large fortunes in various ways: Floyd Armstrong, by exporting ponies from the Falkland islands; Clyde Cole by finding a commercial value for sage brush which grows wild on the Western prairies; and Everett Reese by running a truck farm in Florida. Someone said that Harry Wisner is still beating the path between Mt. Morris and his magnificent country home, the girl having per- sistently refused. Another said that Howard Hurd is making money rapidly on his sheep ranch in Australia. Cynthia Sage, Flossie Wood and Naomi Malcolm are translating an old Greek manuscript which was found by Verna Hill and her husband while digging in some ruins near Athens. Alene Winans told me that she and Aileen Pierson are running a fly-swatting contest for the Belsey board of health, and that thus far Virginia George had swatted by far the greatest num- ber of flies, and probably would win the grand prize, a gold mounted swatter. A new gymnasium and club house has been built for the F. H. S. boys, in which Beans Welch is house officer and teacher of billiards and pool. Lucia McDonald, who has returned from abroad charmed the crowd by her execution of folk dances. Leon Russell displayed the gold medal which he won by defeating a famous Eng- lish champion at tennis in Southampton Courts, and told of the athletic successes of Floyd Wildanger and Walker Johnson, the former having broken all records for pole vaulting in the Olympic games, and the latter leading the All Star Amer- icans to victory at Stockholm. In the conversation with Fayette Abbey I learned that she is teaching French in a girls’ school on the Hudson, and that Rita Tower is Latin instructor, in the same place. A delightful letter was read from Berneda Pierson and Floy Lefurgey describing their trip around the world. They were then in Canton, China, to see the president inaugurated. Mabelle LaDue is a cos- tume designer in New York, and is doing much to make American fashions lead the world. Edith Walker and Mildred Graves have a Bureau of Information at the library. Edith is an authority on correct speaking and writing, and Mildred on books and magazines. Eva Sanford was there for a while with her husband. Edna Given has a kindergarten for ranchers’ children on her ranch in Alberta. During the evening telegrams and regrets were read from absent members. One was from Frances Cook and Ruth McMicbael, who are lending their aid as nurses in the insurrection in Mexico. Another was from Carl Reed, who is broken down from overwork and is taking the rest cure at Battle Creek Sanitarium. A wireless was received from Mary Flynn, who runs the “Paris” ice cream parlor at the North Pole. Mary said that this is her busiest season, as the natives are fiends for the frozen dish, so she couldn’t get away. Helen Hiker sent her regrets saying she had to attend church. Walter Heenan arrived rather late with a little cane and satchel in his hand and tried to sell some pills to the company. After this he said he hoped the banquet would soon be served. Music was furnished at intervals by musical members, Leath Waites ren- dering several exquisite piano selections, and Winifred Hallock singing that charm- ing little ditty, “Why Did They Build the Ocean So Close to the Shore?” Mean- while Marguerite Willson and Sylvia Gifford passed around sample boxes of their new breakfast food manufactured from cactus plants and explained its value as a diet. John Ferguson presented each one with a sample bar of Ferguson’s Tar Soap and each lady was given a small jar of Steegar’s Wonder Massage Cream. We are now given a treat in the form of moving pictures, the machine be- ing operated by Guy Zimmerman. On the title picture was printed “The Sanctuary of the Man Haters,” made by the Goodrich-Mason Film Co., New York and Lon- don. What was our surprise to see as principals in the amusing scenes, Ruth Atkins, Viva Lawrence, Esperance Lee, Matilda Persons and Iva Powers. By the way, the roses and palms used in decorations came from the Ather- holt-Bixby floriculture farm and the plans for the high school building were drawn by Grant Sturgis, architect. Muriel Sutton was appointed postmistress at Birch Run last week, and has as her assistant Mabel Gault. Volta Somerville, as you probably know, has astounded scientists by her discovery of another teaspoonful of radium. Max Burnell is a heart specialist practicing in Detroit, and “Chuck” Matson repairs teeth in old hayrakes, combs, etc., that being as near to being a dentist as he could get. Lavina Knight, private secretary to the president’s wife, was telling about Mary Reddy eloping with the manager of the play she was starring in while in Washington. You probably saw an account of it in the papers. Speaking of papers, three members of our class are on the staff of the Saginaw Sentinel: Frank De Roo edits the “Of Interest to Women” department, Naomi McGovern writes the “Answers to the Lovelorn,” and William Irving is the official cartoonist. They are to see that our reunion has a good write up in their paper. At the banquet, which was the big feature of the evening, Grover Whyte presided as toastmaster. Grover is a crafty politician, and by his smooth speeches wins all to his side as in the class meetings of 1912. After voting to have another reunion in 1932, the delightful gathering of the clans came to a close by the sing- ing of a song written for the occasion by Leila Brock, the poetess, set to music by Ruth Coquillard. Well, Florence, I think I have exhausted the catalogue, and here’s hoping that you will be at the next reunion. With Love, MARJORIE. |)u'siiU'ntiaI Jnmuutratunts By The HON. WILLIAM R. BATES On March 4, 1913, a President of the United States will be inaugurated. Should Mr. Taft succeed himself the ceremonial will be the same in form as it will be should either of the candidates be elected, except in the formality attend- ing the trip from the White House to the Capitol and return. Should Mr. Roosevelt —we will say— be elected, he will go to the White House at a given hour and entering a carriage with President Taft will be seated on the left; returning, after the inaugural ceremonies the new President will occupy the right hand seat. On either side of Pennsylvania Avenue all available windows and doorways will be crowded with sight-seers—some of them paying seven hundred dollars for the ex- clusive use of a small room over one of the stores and others crowding the streets wherever a foothold can be obtained. On arriving at the Capitol, the President- elect will be escorted to the Senate Chamber, where his appearance will be greeted by the Vice-President, the Supreme Court, both houses of Congress, the represen- tatives of foreign countries, the “official ladies”—as the women connected with the officials mentioned above are sometimes designated—and such fortunate outsiders as are able to secure entrance to the somewhat circumscribed limits of the Senate Chamber. Following a brief ceremonial, all present will accompany the President elect to the East Front of the Capitol where the oath of office will be administered by Chief Justice White of the Supreme Court. A huge platform will extend over the flight of granite steps and the crowd will not only fill it but will overflow the grounds where literally thousands of people will be assembled and though unable to hear what is said, they can see quite well and probably will never forget the spectacle. After the oath has been administered, the President will deliver an address and, after handshakings and congratulations, will re-enter the carriage and ride through the great crowds of people on Pennsylvania Avenue. Reaching the White House grounds, he will take his place on an immense platform, erected for the purpose, and flanked by army and navy officers, Judges and Congressmen, Cabinet ministers and foreign officials, will review the G. A. R., the army and navy officers and men. Masonic and many civic organizations, who will salute as they pass the grandstand. Bands will play, cannon boom, flags flutter, the people will cheer, and altogether it will be a scene of brilliance and interest. In the evening a great ball, or reception, will be given in one of the public buildings to which every one may go who is willing to pay ten dollars for a ticket. The fund thus secured will be used by the committee of Citizens of Washington appointed to attend to the erection of platforms, (not political), decorating the city, the management of this ball and other matters incident to a vast celebration. The sight at the ball is an inspiring one. Civic officers and citizens in even- ing clothes, army and navy officers in uniform, representatives of foreign nations in their brilliant regalia, the magnificent toilets and jewels of the ladies, the abund- ance of flowers, the electric devices and the music all go to make a splendid scene as the last chapter of the inaugural ceremonies. The troubles of the new President will begin the next day. A brief sketch concerning the inaugural ceremonies of our first President may not be uninteresting: President Washington was inaugurated in the city of New York on April 30, 1780. On the spot where this momentous ceremonial was performed now stands the sub-tieasury of the United States at the corner of Wall and Broad Streets. In front of the building has been erected a statue of Washington, of heroic size, standing upon a gigantic base and across this appears the following inscription: ON THIS SITE IN FEDERAL HALL APRIL 30, 1780 GEORGE WASHINGTON TOOK THE OATH AS THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Preceding the ceremony considerable correspondence between the Congres- sional Committee appointed to perfect the arrangements and the President elect was had, and prior to that, action was taken by the Congress as follows: On April 0, 1780, John Langdon who was appointed President pro tern of the Senate “for the sole purpose of receiving opening and counting electors,” certified under seal that George Washington was unanimously elected. Then Charles Thompson, Secretary of Congress, conveyed to General Washington at Mt. Vernon on April 14, 1780 this not unexpected but pleasing information. The President-elect then sent to Mr. Langdon, by Mr. Thompson, his ratification. The two Houses of Congress then re- quested Mr. Osgood, the owner of the residence lately occupied by the President of Congress, to put it and the furniture in order, at the expense of the United States, for the temporary occupancy of the President. Then a committee of five Repre- sentatives and three Senators was appointed to meet the President at some point in New Jersey, to escort him “without form” to this temporary residence, and alter communicating with Washington, Elizabethtown, New Jersey, was agreed upon as the meeting place. Then came the arrangement for the inauguration of “His Ex- cellency” as the new President was designated, both Houses of Congress passed a resolution agreeing to receive him in the Senate Chamber and to accompany him to the hall of the House of Representatives, it being the larger, where the Chancel- lor of the State of New York should administer the oath. Subsequently, however, a new order was taken; to wit: “That it appears more eligible that the oath should be administered to the President in the outer gallery adjoining the Senate Cham- bers,” so, on April 30 this programme was carried out. Should any reader wish to see the full programme, he may do so by consulting Richardson’s ‘‘messages and papers of the Presidents” Vol. 1, pp. 49-51, which undoubtedly may be found in the Public Library. President Adams was inaugurated in Philadelphia—the Capital having been removed there—on March 4, 1797. During his administration the Capital was located at Washington, D. C. and Thomas Jefferson went to the Capital on horse- back, hitched his steed to a handy tree, went into the Capitol, took the oath and a chew of tobacco and went about his business. If he did go on horseback, it was probably because Pennsylvania Avenue was in the condition which Horace Greeley said Lansing’s main street was, when he lectured there many years ago, said Gree- ley: “Lansing’s main street is ten miles long and half a mile deep.” The inaugural ceremonies have continued in about the same form for over a hundred years—some slight changes have occurred, but not any of importance, except that the oath of ollice is now administered by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Hive times during t’..e existence of our Government the office of President has become vacant by death. William Henry Harrison was inaugurated March 4, 1841 and lived one month. John Tyler was Vice President and was sworn in as President April Hi, 18 41. Tyler died in Richmond, Va., where he was serving as a member of the Confederate Congress. Zachary Taylor inaugurated March 5, 1849, died July 9, 1850 and Millard Filmore, Vice President was sworn in as President July 10. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated April 14, 1865 and died the following day and Andrew Johnson took the oath as President the same day at his rooms in the Kirk- wood House in Washington. General Garfield was shot July 2, 1881 and died September 19. On Septem- ber 20, Chester A. Arthur, Vice President, took the oath as President at his New York City residence, Justice Rrady of the New York Supreme Court administering the oath, and on the 2 2nd the oath was formally administered by Chief Justice Waite of the United States Supreme Court in the Vice President’s room at the Capi- tol. President McKinley was shot in Buffalo, New York, September 6, 1901, dying September 14. Mr. Roosevelt who was in Buffalo took the oath as Presi- dent at a private house where he was a guest, the same day. Taking the oath cf office by the Vice President immediately after the death of the President is deemed wise to prevent any extended vacancy in the most im- portant office in the world—as our President has greater powers than has any other ruler. The weatl er in Washington on March 4 is almost invariably disagreeable and several unsuccessful attempts have been made to change the day for inauguration to some time in April or May. When the Flint High School Class of 1912 is represented in Congress by some man or woman I suggest that this matter be taken up and carried to a suc- cessful conclusion. trite Jffcufcal System in rl)iuil By CHARLES GOODRICH Teacher’s Note: The Junior English classes were required to hand in themes comparing the high school management to the feudal system of olden times. The fol- lowing is from the pen of a Bohemian pupil, who has been in America only five years. The article has not been changed, either in grammar or subject matter. L. G. As we pass up the picturesque Rhine, before our eyes float the many re- mains of that great institution which dominated Europe from the ninth century and has only recently died out, the feudal system. This system has passed away. Yet is it entirely gone? It no longer rules over the destines of grown up men; yet some of it has still remained to wield its power over the school. In the lowest grade school, in the high school, in the uni- versity, the instructor is the feudal baron. He is absolute, there is no redress from his command; he chooses the pupils’ duties and they must obey without complaint. Should one fail in his work, should one lesson be passed over without thorough assimilation of it by him, punishment is his reward. True, the rack of iron awaits him not; he is not to be roasted in an iron cradle, not after repeated offences does death await him; yet the student finds a rack, as painful, in the reproaches of his instructor; often is he roasted in the flames that shoot from the eyes of his irri- tated helper in the journey through life; and it is not uncommon to see him find death to his ambition in the aspect of his monthly report card. I can not say that this is not the best and only way to be used in school; the child is no judge of his own duty; nature made him to be free and unrestrained; but if man wishes to hold him back, he must do so with an iron hand, and often, the birchen rod. In this also, in the ignorance of their duty, in their laziness, (for most children love to loll away their time) the feudal grown up may be compared to the Child of to-day. The opportunities of the men of the dark ages, the squalor of their existence, were such that intellectually, they never found their way from the days of childhood.

Mary Ethyl Zimmerman, Lee Zink, Elmer •Zorich) Certain it is that those who have once enjoyed the social affairs of our High School never forget them. Our first event was the welcoming dance to the Juniors on November 26, at the Blues’ Armory. Here, by our original decorations, we showed that we could work. With the help of Mr. Well wood, the entertainment committee invented a very ingenious “funny graph,” which was the hit of the evening. Dancing was started in the usual way by a grand march. During the evening punch was served, and later on ice-cream and cake. This party was thor- oughly enjoyed by everyone. A most delightful surprise was given to the Seniors, when Mrs. O’Connor invited us to take a sleighride to her home. During the ride out, some of the party were entertained (?) by the more talented musical ones, singing, “Dingle, dangle, little bell.” The evening was spent in various ways: some of the guests danced; some played cards and other games; some rode in an aeroplane put together for the Seniors’ especial benefit; and some ate up the lunch. At twelve o’clock we started for home, after thanking Mrs. O’Connor for a royal good time. After reflecting for about two years on the subject, the Cadets finally decided that it was about time they gave a party, so the whole school was invited to one (provided they paid the money), on February 16 at the Armory. At our first sight of the hall that night we might have imagined we were on a battle field. To see all the flags and regular tents and to hear the stirring music conveyed that idea. The party was a complete success and showed that the Cadets hadn’t forgotten how to give one. Friday evening, April 19, the Juniors gave their return dance to the Seniors. The hall was decorated in the colors of the two classes, black, gold and white, the numbers ’12 and ’13 in an electrical sign were shown off to great advantage during the “dark dances.” This party was much appreciated by the Seniors. We are all looking forward to that crowning glory of the year, which is, of course, graduation. We are hoping to depart from the usual program of that time by having a week of commencement, which will include a play and a musical programme. Then the school life of many of us ends in a burst of applause (we hope) as we file slowly up to receive that little bundle of sheepskin, for which so long we have worked, bluffed, and sometimes even studied, that will be our’s at last. HUll of ZUqhts The Seniors of the Flint High School, sincerely believing themselves to have been grossly mistreated, rankly insulted, and outrageously snubbed at times during the past four years, do hereby state what they believe to be their just rights: They should not be restricted in their communication with others, spoken or written, audible or otherwise, in classrooms or corridors. It is most necessary that they be allowed to cast aside the yoke of respon- sibility, their constant burden, and giggle and talk as often as possible. The teachers who are stationed to patrol the halls for the benefit of boister- ous and ill-mannered Freshmen and Juniors, will be forthwith believed to be offer- ing unbearable insults to any Seniors whom they may molest while the latter are, in a dignified manner, as always, transacting urgent business in the halls. It is further declared to be the right of all Seniors to roam said halls during vacant hours. In physics classes, Virgil classes, or elsewhere if necessary, the right of Sen- iors to study their lessons from open books during class period, providing teacher is not looking, shall not be questioned. Be it further declared that any Senior desiring refreshments in or at close of any hour will be furnished with same upon application at Senior girls’ ward- robe. All persons having the required credits for fourth year class are exempted trom paying money on damaged books, marred seats or other school property. It has also been decided that mirrors should replace the altogether useless blackboards in Senior room, for the express benefit of Senior boys who find those in present use, the small pocket species, quite insufficient. It is further declared that the Senior girls, because of the rigid restrictions of the tongue and mouth exercise in session room, shall henceforth be furnished by the school board free of charge, five sticks per capita, per day, of chewing gum (flavor to taste). Be it further declared that the boys, in lieu of a gymnasium, may turn cart wheels and hand springs, vault pole or partake in disk throwing in the lower hall when in need of exercise. Lastly it has also been declared necessary that the school board hire an instructor from the M. S. D. to teach the sign language, since a few of the teachers object to audible communication. JVn (OiU' JleMcatcti to Certain Seniors If at the gate of Heaven St. Peter should sternly proclaim, “Young man, all those who enter here Must physics’ laws explain.” I’ll not stand there and argue, For that’s not in my line, I’ll simply say, ‘‘St. Peter, goodby. It’s-------- for mine.” Delos Short President Helen Jackson Vice-President (Officers of flic ophoimuT Class George Mullin Secretary Carol C.

These cadets had no military uniforms or guns and drilled only in squad movements. The following year with George Maines as Captain and Caspar Elson as director they made a good showing. That year they obtained uniforms and guns. During the course of the year they visited Lansing at a reception given to President Roosevelt and formed part of his guard at the entrance to the Capitol. The same year was given the first Cadet Hop. In 1908 the Cadets under Captain Bartley King made an excellent appearance at the laying of the corner-stone of the Hurley Hospital, and in camp at Long Lake. The second annual Cadet Hop was given that year. During the year 1909-1910 they did nothing because of the lack of interest on the part of the students. Early in the second semester of 1911, the company was reorganized and Dallas Marshall was elected Captain. During the short semester much interest was shown. In June they went into camp for ten days at “Camp Wade,” Long Lake. This year (1912) brings forth the best company in the history of the school. It was organized the last of September of the year 1911, with Dallas Marshall as Captain. It has a membership of seventy-two regulars, the best drilled in this part of the State. Being deprived of the use of the Auditorium the Cadets have drilled in the Blues’ Armory under Lieutenant Lawrence. The third annual Cadet Hop was given February 16th in the Armory where a delightful time was spent. An exhibition drill was given before the dance. They made a very favorable impres- sion on Easter morning when they marched to the Methodist Church in a body. The company won great applause during the Elk’s parade. May 17th, and on Decora- tion Day. At the invitation of the old soldiers, they joined the National League of Veterans and Sons. An invitation has recently been extended to the Cadets to give an exhibition drill at the Alumni party. They are now looking forward to June when they go to camp for a stay of ten days. The officers at present are. Captain, Dallas Marshall; 1st Lieutenant, Carl Reed; 2nd Lieutenant, Harry Wisner; 1st Sergeant, Harry Hopkins; 2nd Sergeant, Clyde Cole; 3rd Sergeant, Ward McCreery; 4th Sergeant, Charles Matson; 5th Ser- geant, Leo Finch; 1st Corporal, Charles Good; 2nd Corporal, Melvin Good; 3rd Corporal, Robert Gillespie; 4th Corporal, Donald Jones; 5th Corporal, Elmer Zink; Buglers, Albert Terry, George Dodds; Drummers, Clare Bloss, Myron Glover. Atliletic Association The Athletic Association is one of the oldest organizations in the Flint High School and, in the eyes of the members, the most important. It was organized when this school building was considered one of the best in the state, somewhere back in the Dark Ages. While the edifice has gradually lost its high standing, the Athletic Club has risen, until it is now recognized as being equal in rank to those in larger cities. It is rightfully considered the duty of every student to support a club which has constantly in view the important obligation of promoting clean sport. If a team has good support and encouragement from the school, as a whole, it does better work in the field against opposing clubs from other towns. And do not the Scriptures exhort us to “Smite them, hip and thigh”? The membership fee is the munificent sum of fifty cents, which entitles a member to vote on officers, to use the tennis court and admission to all home games. One of the recent accomplishments of the association is the installation of the shower baths, due to the untiring efforts of President Johnson, Secretary-Treas- urer McGuire, Chas. Matson and our ever obliging Principal, Mr. Wade. The active work of this club is carried on by a board of governors, composed of the President, Secretary-Treasurer, student member and two members of the factulty who at present are Mr. Wellwood and Mr. Burns. At the last annual meeting the following officers were elected: Vice-Presi- dent, Miss Gertrude Gordon. Miss Gordon is slight of stature, but firm and always there with that amiable smile. If you don’t believe us, ask Scrubby Johnson. Mr. Robert Taylor Perry was elected to act as Secretary-Treasurer. If the association does not come out, all to the good, it will be no fault of Bob’s. To Mr. Harry Hopkins was assigned the position of student member. Harry is solemn and pious in outward appearance, yet it is whispered about that he can stir up things to quite a froth when he chooses. Lastly, President, Mr. Ford Grove, who has a firm deter- mination to do all he can to make the following year the best ever, as author of this article, modesty forbids us to say more. (Oratorical Association The work of the Oratorical Association in 1911-1912 began early in October. On the 11th of that month a meeting was held for the purpose of organizing for the year’s activity. The following officers were elected: President, Ferris D. Bris- coe; Vice-President, Leila G. Brock; Secretary-Treasurer, Carl W. Bonbright. A number of interesting debates upon such questions as compulsory military training in all public schools, public ownership of telegraphs and compulsory phy- sical training in schools, were held during the year. On May 10th we met Lansing high school in debate upon the question, “Resolved, that the commission form of government is better for the average American city than the ward system.” The debate was held at Lansing. Our team, which upheld the affirmative, was composed of Guy Cowing, Max Burnell and Carl Bonbright. In a well fought contest we were defeated. We were represented in the sub-district contest of the State Association, this year, by Ferris Briscoe, who spoke on “The American Negro.” Flint was awarded second place in this contest, which was held at Owosso on April 5. - Although not successful in contests with other schools, yet from the stand- point of its members this year has been a successful one for the association. Much has been gained in the way of practice in debate and public speaking, which is the main object for which the association was organized. Philo Hit entry Society It is a little more than two years since the Philo Literary Society was organ- ized. The purposes for which it was formed were two-fold; to promote an interest in literary activities and to promote, also, goodfellowship in the High School. Last year the study of Parliamentary Law was taken up and much benefit was derived from this line of work. During the present year, the Philo has devoted itself to a study of current events, and the consideration of present day problems. Many interesting and in- structive discussions of these subjects have been held in the past few months The work for the first semester of this year was under the leadership of the following officers; President, Ferris D. Briscoe; Vice President, Charles Carroll; Secretary- Treasurer, Grover C. Whyte. Each member seeks to add something to the society and this attitude of its members toward the Philo is typical of the society’s attitude toward the school. The Philos aim to supplement high school life as well as to receive good from it. The literary work of the society is taken up at the regular business meetings, which are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each school month. The offi- cers for the present semester are; President, Ferris D. Briscoe; Vice President, Leo O. Finch; Secretary-Treasurer, Carl W. Bonbright.

The principal reasons for our poor showing this year was the lack of a coach, the disqualification of some good players, and the fact that others left school. The following boys were awarded “ F’s ”: Grove, McCreery, Goldstein, Clark, Miller, Mullin, Russell, Scott, Gillepsie, Perry, Welch, Ingalls, Partridge, and Johnson. Due credit should also be given to M. Good, Hurd, and Rood who were unable to play enough games to receive their letter. September CHI. Flint versus Hay City Fast Side With but one week of practice we went to Bay City expecting to get beaten but with the determination to do our best and we did both, though the score might seem to indicate otherwise. But considering the scores that Bay City made against other teams throughout the State, and they not having had their goal line crossed during the season, we have no kick coming on the way our boys played. Score: Bay City 42, Flint 0. Septembei 21), 1911. Davison vs. Flint Though a great deal lighter than the Davison team, we put up a strong offensive game and by long end runs and line plunges we put the game safely away though threatened a number of times by our heavier opponents. Score: Flint 11, Davison 0. October 7, 11)11. Flint vs. Fenton We journeyed to Fenton with a good deal of hope that we would return with a victory, thus breaking the hoodoo which Fenton always seems to have over us. But as usual we were disappointed. Fenton outweighed us twenty pounds to the man; but in spite of this handicap, we put up a very good game and pulled off some good plays in which Welch, our left half, took a shining part. Score: Fenton 11, Flint 0. October II, 11)11. Lapeer vs. Flint We played Lapeer here, but the fact that we were on our home grounds was of no avail, for they plowed right through us in a manner that was irresistable. We also engaged in our usual quarreling in which Lapeer came out ahead as they always do. Score: Lapeer 9, Flint 0. October 21, 11)11. Pontiac vs. Flint This was our best game of the season though it resulted in only a tie score. We showed a complete reversal of form from the game of the preceding week, and put up such a fight that but for one fumble the game would have been ours. The feature of the game was a drop kick by Full Back Partridge, from the thirty-five yard line, made at an angle of about fifty degrees, which tied the score. Score: Flint 9, Pontiac 9. October 28, toil. Owosso vs. Flint We lost this game chiefly because we failed to solve their trick plays. But nevertheless we put up a very good game and pulled off some good plays, the feature of which was Partridge duplicating his kick of the week before by one from the thirty yard line, thereby saving us from a shut out. Score: Owosso 17, Flint 3. November 5, 1011. Flint vs. Lapeer We went to Lapeer and played our second game with their team. In this game our opponents found that they had a much better team to go up against than they had the time before. Our fellows never showed a better spirit than when Lapeer again and again advanced the ball to our goal line, but were held for downs. Barring a few arguments, the game was a credit to our team although we did not win. Score: Lapeer 6, Flint 0. Flint vs. Port Huron We packed our suit cases and started out for Port Huron determined to come back with a victory, but lo! Fate was against us again and instead of victors, we came back a sorry looking bunch. The way Port Huron walked through ua was ample proof of our lack of ginger and when our Right Half, Rood, broke his collai bone, the accident took away all that was left of our fighting spirit. By the time the whistle blew, Port Huron had run up a magnificent score. Score: Port Huron 41, Flint 0. November 17, 15111. Fenton vs. Flint This game was played on Friday afternoon shortly after school. In the morning a drizzling rain had started in and kept up until about 2:30. By th5s time the field was covered with freezing water in some places a foot deep, which did not alter our spirits a bit. The day before a mass meeting had been held and this had done a great deal to awaken the spirit in the school; so that practically everybody turned out for the game in spite of the weather conditions. About four o’clock the Fenton team arrived already dressed for the game and no time was lost in starting. Everything went our way at first and it looked as if we had it over them until one of our punts was blocked, the slipperiness of the ball making it impossible to handle it quickly. It rolled behind the goal where one of their men fell on it thus getting a touchdown, but they missed their kick thus making the score five and nothing. By this time, it had become dark and Referee Dingier called the game in the first part of the third quarter, thus giving Fenton the vic- tory. Score: Fenton 5, Flint 0. c CO Base Ball Baseball seems to be the only sport in which the F. H. S. excels, and this year promises to be one of our greatest seasons. With only four men of last year’s force left. Coach Mayer has built up a very strong team and he hopes to win the greater share of the games played. As we have won, two out of three so far, it looks as if his hopes would be fulfilled. April 20. Arthur Hill at Flint Everything looked lovely for our fellows when they tied the score in the fourth inning; but our luck did not last long for in the next inning Arthur Hill piled up seven runs. Then Weaver, who was pitching for us, was replaced by Russell who held down the hits until the ninth inning, when Saginaw’s first baseman got a home run. With two men on bases, three more scores were added to their already large score. Inning ............ 123456789 Tot.

West Bay City at Flint This game was a complete reversal of the one we played the week before and brought out the fact that we can still play ball. Our fellows pounded the ball all over the lot and fielded like “ big leaguers.” Bay City seemed unable to hit Weaver to any appreciable extent. Innings 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Tot.

Only in the ninth inning did we safely win the game. We had the game well in hand when Flushing surprised us by tying the score. Only good hitting in the last inning saved us from defeat. The feature of this game was Mullin’s playing. He contributed a triple, a double and a single hit to Flushing’s defeat. Unfortunately for the team and himself, he sprained his ankle sliding to third and will be out of the game for a few weeks. Inning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Tot.

The former event takes place on June 1, at Saginaw. The track men are working hard and we ex- pect to make a good showing in the valley meet. In the Inter-class meet our strength in track will be divided among the four classes, each striving for the mas- tery. With lowered head Welch charged the line, Was tackled from the rear.
