And so the day, be it cold or hot. It drives Rosalie to he taught. Myrtle ItriHon This Britton girl. known as Myrtle, Is just as quiet as a turtle. And unless she knows you very well. She’ll just retire within her shell. Genevieve Sellers Now here we have Genevieve Sellers. Liked by all the lasses and fellers. And here our muse has got dead stuck. And so we close with a wish for good luck. □ Watt hour you doing in here, asked Mr. Parmelee aggressively. “Eating currents I brought from ohm, why,” replied Farley meekly, “do you want some?” “Wire you insulate this morning anyway? Can’t your relay shunts get you up on time?” ‘‘Anode you’d bawl me out.” “Well, it’s motor your credit to get around on time.” Now fuse going to make a fuss, old Farm, I’ll either call a copper have Elmer Zink come and take my part. What are you going to do with that armature threat- ening me with, huh?” ‘‘I’m not positive, but you get out of here.” Aw go ahead. Can me and see if I care.

But 20 times a game he’d fall. And it always looked aw- fully funny. The wedding bells have sounded. For one—Miss Mildred Lee. And the heartiest good wishes she carries. Of her class, one nine one three. And this is Marian. It sure is a treat. To write of this girl. Small and neat. We fast are nearing the end. And have seen about all from A to .

EDITORIAL The Prospectus board wishes to embrace this opportunity to express appreci- ation of the thoughtful assistance received from the three faculty members of this year’s annual, the Misses Gold, Seymour and Baker. The editor is deeply indebted to these for their indispensable advice and willingness throughout the year to assist in making this book what we honestly believe to be the best ever. We wish to thank Mr. Wellwood, also, for his inimitable contributions in the shape of verses concerning the seniors, and Miss Mary Gold for innumerable suggestions. Fully and even painfully cognizant through four years of close personal con- tact and observation of the utterly inadequate facilities which the present Central High School building offers in the shape of modern improvements, as well as to the lamentably deplorable conditions of the ramshackle structure itself, the class of 13 wishes to enter one last plea for a new building. The present four-story structure necessitates a laborious amount of clambering up and down creaking stairs upon which well defined trails have been distinctly out- lined by the preceding generations. In Ann Arbor, Saginaw, Grand Rapids, I ontiac and other Michigan towns, modernly equipped structures have recently been provided for the pupils; while in this prosperous city, which has enjoyed an unprecedented growth, far in excess proportionally to that of any in America, (excepting four), the same loose jointed contraption greets the teachers and pupils year after year with no apparent effort towards providing a new one. Are the teachers and students less de- serving here than elsewhere? This inference might justifiably be drawn, judging from the dilatory and tardy actions of the school board and tax payers who seem strangely and inexplicably remiss about preparing for a new one. Lengthy and minute dissertations concerning the total inefficacy of the present building are utterly useless, TWKNTY-NINE
