Page twelve MISS ESTHER CRAWFORD Caesar I, II. BRYAN H. BAKER Editor-in-chief No, he disclaims all rights as the original of the arrow collar ad. While not over fond of study, still we believe he will he successful in life. JOE R. BLACKINTON Business Manager “Josephus” is a man of few words and bothers little about what others do or say. For him the world is always bright and sunny. GRACE CALLAHAN Society Grace must not be overlooked in considering the merits of the Senior class. She has always taken the lead in class affairs and as for dramatics—she is considering at present an offer from the former manager of Sarah Bernhardt. Besides all this she is the only original “weather prophet” in the class. PHILIP M. SOUTHWORTH Artist Caesar was ambitious, but Caesar’s ambition couldn’t hold a flashlight to Philip’s. He himself is a twin cylinder, self-starter (if likeness were to an automobile) and guaranteed to win out in the race which he is soon to enter. ESTHER BARTON Class Poet In stature “Spud” is one of the shortest girls ever graduated from high school but in principle she is a giant. Her rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun, was ever pleasing to “Doc.” Page fourteen PR q; p 4SsHw- MARION JONES Prophecy We must give Marion credit for prophesying for us such a bright future. Indeed her fame bids fair some day to he wider than Saginaw street. FLORENCE ROBERTSON History In the year ’13 the class chose Florence as his- torian. and as you will see later in the book she has done it justice. LLOYD GENSEL Athletics If Lloyd were an inch shorter his feet would not touch the ground, but we can’t hold that against him. He has demonstrated that he is a giant in mind and spirit. JOSEPHINE GIFFORD Calendar During the year she has worked on our calendar. She never did anything to annoy the teachers and was always a “model girl” in every way. F. KENNETH HOWARD Grinds “Ken” the effervescent good sport “Ken.” Then, too, dear reader, remember that it is to our lad squire” that you owe your thanks for the smiles, giggles and guffaws you will experience when reading the humorous part of this hook. Page fifteen G. WILLARD BARTON President “Mushy” needs no introduction. He says little for himself but his refined manners and pleasant disposition speak for him. M A R1 ON C A RSC ADD E N Vice-President On being interviewed Marion said she had noth- ing to say for herself. However, she is beloved by all her classmates, and why not? Her jovial dis- position and smiling countenance would tame the most ferocious temperament. GLADYS JOHNSON Secretary It is not too much to say that to know the class of ’15 one must know “Squirrel.” She is ever clever and jolly, relishing a joke and rejoicing in a good time. CARL GENSEL T reasurer You now behold honest “Derby,” the treasurer of his class. He has worked faithfully in defending the funds, sometimes amounting to hundreds of------------ cents. PERRY V. WHITAKER A thorough gentleman, he always abides by the golden rule. He has been going up Fourth street every other night since we have known him. There’s a reason. And she’s pretty nice. Page sixteen JOHN RASBACH “Jack” has slept around here for four years. He has attended his classes—now and then. For a faith- ful and honest friend we desire none other than Johnny “Hookworm.” OLIVE SOULBY “Olive” sounds good enough to eat. Don’t you think? She is a girl of polished manners, sunny smiles, being quite sociably inclined. HERMON J. BAKER Everybody knows “Sunny Jim.” And why wouldn’t one know him? He has a smile and a “Hell-o” for every person he meets and is a good natural fellow every day in the year. LOUISE BAKER Louise’s philosophy of life is “Don’t let little worries make you lose sleep.” She holds the record for the most Orpheum tickets “bought and paid for.” MARJORIE BLACK “Marj” has taken a prominent part in dramatics during her Senior year and denies even having rocked the boat. As a talker Marj can hold her own. Page seventeen DALE TOMPKINS Although of a very quiet and unassuming nature, yet lie is always ready to help when anything is going on. We appreciate him and wish him success. PHOEBEBRADOW For four years Phoebe has been a strong link in our class. She has a quiet little smile for every- one. ILA WHIT AC RE Quiet and unobtrusive, she has managed to win the respect and admiration of the rest of her class- mates. We wish her success in everything she under- takes. NINA GABLE Not even a fire in the High School could disturb her calm. Our school as a whole cannot hut be bettered by the acquisition of such a girl. HARRY LOSS The man really worth while is the busy man. He has a disposition to work that is hardly in keeping with the auburn hue of his hair. Page eighteen MVRTON CHAMBERS In his unassuming manner, he has gone about his duties, and in all things has made an admirably creditable showing. BEATRICE CHEENEY She possesses all the qualities that a Senior would want. Studious, good naturcd and of a very pleasing personality. DOROTHY JOHNS She believes in the conservation of human energy and up-to-date lias conserved enough to enable her to make a whirl-wind finish no matter how long she lives. EVA DODDS Possessing the Nth degree of perfection in her studies she does indeed seem beyond the scope of our pen. There is an earnestness and determination in her efforts which will make her a success through life. HOWARD CHAPEL It seems as if Howard cannot crowd enough work into one day. His success is assured and may it be unbounded. Page nineteen ARAL A. RIKER. JR. This quiet and good looking chap holds all records for unobtrusiveness. We’ve seen him often hut he was never in the way. He won his fame by being at the head of our “soldier boys.” ROSINA ELSTNER Perhaps she may be timid but she always has a social smile for everyone. A fiend for literature, sur- passing all of us in quantity of reading. DOROTHY AUSTIN Dorothy needs no explanation. But to look at her one would know that she has made good in her work, and her ambition is unbounded. HAZEL NICKEL Hazel is as bright and shining as a brand new jitney.” Her laughing voice can be heard most any- time in the hall. MAURICE CURTS While Maurice is a good student he is by no means a grind. He has been a year at Valparaiso hut like the proverbial cat came back for the finish. His genial disposition and ability to work when forced to it, will make him a sure success. Page twenty mu PRQSfrCCTUS SmMl DE HULL BLACK As a friend there is none better. De Hull has always taken a deep interest in class matters and could always be found at the hack of every pro- gressive movement. MARGARET STARK Quiet and demure, she leaves many good marks behind her besides the admiration of her fellow students. ARLENE KERR When it comes to work Arlene is considered one of the “biggest little girls” in the school. With such ability she can not help but prove a success. MARGARET JONES She had not one specialty but was unexcelled in all classes. Margaret is one of the most consistent girls in school. CLARK PASMORE He is a literary artist of no mean ability, often handing in verses and stories as good as those we find in Tennyson or current “blue books.” Page twenty one PR Qlir PERCY HOWES Percy is a good example of persistent effort in over- coming obstacles in the way. His fame reaches out in many ways. First, last and always he is a student. MADELON McCORKELL Here we behold the genial face of Madelon. We could write volumes of her and her good nature but suffice it to say that she carries the good will and well wishing of the whole class on her departure into the cold, cruel world. DORIS POWELL Her greatness as an orator has been proven in the many debates in which she has taken part. _We are assured that some day she will be a great suffra- gette leader. Gladys McCartney Gladys is inclined to be vainglorious, spending a great deal of her time in the girls’ wardrobe, but this does not interfere with her brilliant recitations. WILLIAM “MAC” TAYLOR He is a nifty young man with a gentle disposi- tion and pleasing personality. He doesn’t chew and was never known to smoke Nebos when anyone was looking. Page twenty-two f� w ?: e:c ms IBM68 HENRY KURTZ His high standard of honor, his honesty of pur- pose, and contempt for petty shyster methods make him beloved by all who know him. HARRIET E. SOPER “Slats” is considered one of the most studious girls in High School, and we all believe her worthy of a sheepskin. EDNA BROCK It always meant an afternoon’s entertainment to sit near this young lady. It took more than one session teacher to watch her, but she will always be a succees. MILDRED BURGESS She has only been in our class a short time but long enough to show her diligency. Mildred can work many hard Physics problems which we turned away many hard Physics problems which we turned BENARD BENDLE He has absorbed more English during his career than many of his classmates, and his knowledge added to his speaking ability are calculated to make the cornhuskers sit up and take notice of him. Page twenty-three p r o s r ec. t?u s ■ RALPH ORENDORFF Even since we have known him he has been living very contentedly. Although he never has much to say yet one always knows he is around when the hand starts playing. LULA DARLING She has excelled in the class and also in the hearts of her friends. Indeed she has been well named. FERN WILLISTON Although her stay has been short she has made many close friends both at school and in the city. We are glad she joined us for the finish. BERNICE GEORGE If there was anything going on in the class Ber- nice was always there; for first and last she was a good class worker. VICTOR GEORGE “Vic” is a success wherever he goes, be it at school or working on the farm; and we may add that his Irish wit is highly appreciated by the ladies. Page twenty-four B IWA . ls.'AVw ALVIN BELFORD Though he is built more for endurance than for speed, he is as good natured a fellow as one could wish. LELA FITZGERALD This auburn haired girl is cheerful and interest- ing. Her high marks make the rest of the Seniors turn away with a sigh. HAZEL GORTON Indeed if it had not been for the E’s and E ’S on her card her presence would have been scarcely noticed, she is that unassuming and studious. ADAH HORTON Everyone admires her manner which wins her many friends. Adah’s studious habits will bring gracious results. SHERMAN JOHNSTONE He has a disposition to work that is admirable and a propinquity for early rising that is unbelievable. He never sidesteps an argument and often caused Mr. Russell to raise his eyebrows. Page twenty-five «SMB MERLE GASKELL To give the bare statistics of Merles’ career would in itself he a long tale. In the class room he was never at loss for an answer no matter how intricate or difficult the question. FLORENCE HEMINGWAY Florence’s scholarship of previous years was even surpassed by herself this year. May her success be ever greater. MAZIE FIDO Her nature is the kind which makes for friend- ship. Furthermore Mazie has always responded with a well prepared lesson in the class room. FLORENCE LANG A hard, sure worker and extra good in history is Florence. She has succeeded in school, we wish her success during the remainder of her life. BURRELL E. SMITH Hear ye! hear ye! hear ye! the honorable Burrell Smith. He can discuss anythin from baby incubators to the construction of a —4$—' |”| S “new high school.” We believe he is going to he a successful orator. Page twenty-six 1 SB J. RUSSELL MOFFAT “Jimmie’s” motto is “up and doing.” It would be superfluous to say that be never failed in history or physics. We hope that life may be easier for him in the future. HELEN OLMSTEAD The date of her entry has been lost hut fate has fixed June for her exit. It is told that her weakness is for fair ones especially the “red-headed” variety. BESSIE KIRN To see her at her best one must catch the sound of her voice in history class. Her brilliancy is un- bounded. BERTHA LUCY Bertha made herself prominent in the great “P. T.” struggle. She has proven her worth to the school, and we know no superior as a student. MURRAY RICE To call him a youth with a brightly burning star and a lover of the ideal would he an inadequate de- scription of him. We will always remember him as an honest, faithful classmate. Page twenty seven PROSPEC TUS ,‘j «V yvy; HOWARD HOFFMAN To look at his youthful and innocent face one would never suspect that he was a Senior, but to glance at the many friends his cheerful manner have won for him is enough to convince one that he is a good fellow. CL ETA MAE COLE Cleta’s love for poetry is intense, hut please don’t try improving on Shakespeare. She is sweet and gracious even in common speech. DORIS ECKLEY Never will the Seniors forget the pleasant hos- pitality which Doris showed when entertaining us at a sleighride. She is as good at studying as she is at entertaining. ROSE COONEY For four years we have enjoyed the friendship of this “Rosy” maiden. Her sunny ways are sure to bring her success in life. NELLIE VALL Many high marks have been seen on Nellie’s card, for she was as much at home writing German as— Greek, and was never on the delinquent list. Page twenty-eight naiii P.gaQ.:S P T u s 2H BERNARD DUNN Ladies and gentlemen, we have with us Bernard Dunn, Esquire, the shark in physiology. Outside of that he has our entire good will in the success of his future. ZELLA CURRIER Zella has taken an active part in class work. One would always remember her by her dignified manner and sweet disposition. MAVIS ALLEN This black eyed lassie has dignity and love in every gesture. She has spent a great deal of her time in physics lab. GLADYS SLUYTER Pronounce it just as if it were “slite-er.” Gladys won laurels in all her classes and we trust she is destined for the honored diploma. GLENN DORRANCE We will not go into details. Mr. Dorrance is a fine fellow and a good football player, but God never intended him to recite humorous poetry. Page twenty-nine M ri;7iyja CARLTON CHATTERS Some fellows go to school to play football; some to have a good time; some to win fame, and some to study—Carl is of the latter. DOLLY MADISON JOHNSON It seems as if Dolly will never grow old as she still wears her hair in curls. Her fondness for bright colors makes her appear cheerful and sunny. HELEN ATHERTON Helen has proven herself a success in the highest sense of the word. Her gracious manner has won her many friends. IDA DONAHUE This quiet, goodlooking maid holds all records for scholarship. Her smallness would easily give her the title of “Our Baby of the Senior Class.” EDNA ANDREW Flint High enjoys the presence of this quiet lady. Edna shares the blessings that are showered on the meek, but her meekness is not a fault. Page thirty LEO COLE IS jmm The spirit of endeavor he shows in athletics is shown in everything he does and although a modest youth, we believe he has erased the word “fail” from his personal copy of Webster. MARIE RIKER Her good nature seems to overflow. But when her Irish temper’s once aroused she is accustomed to bite railroad spikes in two as a pastime. ETHEL CLARK This enthusiastic girl has been a worker from the first day she walked into school. LAURIE KAUFMAN This quiet little mouse has always shown cool judgment and a willingness to work. Her presence would scarcely he noticed—she is that attentive to her studies. HAROLD PERRY Those who know this careful and persistent work- er expect him to he heard from in the world of scientific research. Harold will go back to Grand Blanc and startle the natives with his stories of civilization. Page thirty-one P:€.c T V S .

Page thirty-hun vjV HAROLD CUDABACK Harold is one of the few men in High School who can carry excess burdens with both grace and com- fort. In fact, he is so interested in his work that he wishes he did not have to leave school. GLADYS ARMSTRONG This Titian-haired maid is popular with the fair sex and no less with the hoys, hut “variety is the spice of life.” As a student she holds her own. ETHLYNDE BROCKWAY Oh, for- an up-to-date typewriter to do this sub- ject justice. In her quick and flighty way she is busy from morn till night. MILDRED RIES Conscientious, earnest work requires a great deal of sacrifice but Mildred doesn’t mind. She is one of the foremost workers. CHARLES ELLIOTT Coming from the small village Charlie plunged into the wild pleasures of the High School. He is a jolly fellow and a good classmate having few super- iors. Page thirty-three B ERMA STANARD Erma is above the “stan’ard” in all ways. She is very lady-like and has a heart of gold. G. ALAN WALKER Alan could imitate a sleeping fish in a tank to perfection. But somehow he has decided to work up energy enough to carry a diploma. GLADYS McQUIGG Her sunny smile and jovial ways will make her a success if nothing else will. She combines natural ability with never-give-up determination and is al- ways working at top speed. MILDRED WELLES With her sparkling eyes and smiling face Mil- dred is sure to win many friends. KATHLEEN GRAHAM Who would have thought it of Mt. Morris to let this generous and loyal student join us? Her future success will surely be greater than her school suc- cess. Page thirty-four SIDNEY McDADE “Fat” is gifted with a laugh-fetching sense of humor which he employs freely. Persevering in everything he undertakes, he is bound to he a success in future life. ANNA PERSONS “Annie” was gifted with a hearty laugh and as for order—she had the Faculty working overtime making rules she couldn’t break. CARLTON COOLEY Carlton is known to all the fellows as a mightv good scout. And though he admitted that a “rolling stone gathers no moss,” he added, “Who wants to be a moss back?” jean McGovern Jean is one of the jolliest girls in H. S. She adores a good joke, but never lets play interfere with her studies. FLORENCE BRIDGMAN When still a small girl Florence toddled up to High School. That was away back in ’12. Since then she has been by no means a disturber of the peace. Page thirty-five Honor Students Carl Chatters Lula Darling Murray Rice Harold Cudaback Gladys McQuigg Percy Howes I la.

To Miss Baker, Miss Tressler, Miss Lewis and Miss Lillian Gold we extend our gratitude. Dear reader, if somewhere between these covers you have been the recipient of some foolish nonsense, or if some uncomplimentary thing has been said about you which causes you to rage, do not take it seriously to heart. Withhold your animosity. Remember, life is short and time is fleeting, and that some day you will look back upon those self-same words with kindly heart. We wish to apologize for any unkind things we’ve said and as an excuse say,—that we must fill up these pages. Once again we must make that plea which has been made so often before. The business men of Flint contribute greatly to the support of this annual. By purchasing space they supply nearly half our resources. But generous though they are, they are first of all business men, and as such expect a reasonable return for their investment. Let them have it and in loyalty to yourselves and the school resolve to patronize our advertisers. It is difficult to portray in words the regret which the High School feels over the loss of Mr. Glen S. Mayer. Mr. Mayer leaves at the end of this year to enter school again as a student. At present he is planning to enter Carnegie Technical Institute, there to follow more closely and to become more efficient in his particular line of teaching. Mr. Mayer has had charge of athletics ever since he came here and it is quite unnecessary to comment on the success which has attended his efforts. He leaves Flint well started on the road to fame in athletics, and it is to be regretted that he cannot remain and be the instrument of its final accomplishment. We take this opportunity on behalf of the High School in general, to thank Mr. Mayer for all that he has done. Page forty-three The efforts for procuring a new high school building to replace the half mediaeval structure now in use, seem to have taken on a more determined appearance. Already in the year 1915 with the present building only 42 years old, such preliminaries as sending committees of prominent citizens to investigate sanitary conditions have been completed. The report of the Commerce Committee occupied a whole page in the daily paper and it unqualifiedly condemned the old building in favor of a new and up-to-date one. With such a start, matters do indeed look encouraging, but, not wishing to be considered unduly hasty, still we would like to inquire whether matters are to come to a standstill at this point? Has all the publicity that has been given the inferior condition of this old building gone for naught? Or is the question to be put up to the taxpayers and voters—if that is the necessary formality—so that it may be decided at once whether it will be necessary to educate another generation of citizens within these antiquated walls? For long, long years the various graduating classes have seen visions of a new palatial structure, various editors have painted in glowing words the time, when future generations would enjoy what no Flint High School student has yet enjoyed. Is this year to be simply a repetition of the preceding, or is it really a beginning of the end? Flint, get busy! The city needs a new building, the Faculty and students certainly want one,—why don’t we get it? For two years the Senior Class has been under the guidance of Miss Mary Seymour, ' in Room P. During that time they have come to respect and love her. Always genial, she has governed the Session room with a gentle hand, enforcing discipline through mildness and pleasantry rather than through the Iron Hand, and thus has made the hours spent under her care some of the pleasantest of our high school days. It is only regret that we feel, on leaving such a true friend, for she gave to us not only geniality but also that rarer quality—sympathetic understanding. Page forty-four Page forty five Prophecy It was the day before I was graduated from the old Flint High School that I chanced to be walking and thinking of all the good times I was going to leave, when suddenly I came to a steep hill. At its foot was a deep ravine. At one end was a huge rock or boulder and I noticed some smoke apparently coming from behind it. Curious to know who might have built a fire in this forsaken valley. I descended rather slowly and soon came upon a haggard-looking old woman crouching there. Over the fire was a great iron caldron into which she was pouring a brownish liquid from an enormous stone jar. She seemed to feel my curious eyes upon her and turned. Although thoroughly frightened by her, and her mysterious surroundings, a strange magnetic power seemed to draw me towards her. She seized my arm and spoke in a low rasping voice, “Who are you? Who sent you here to watch me?” After I had gasped my name the witch pulled me down beside her and said in a very low but piercing tone, “Listen! I am forming the destinies of the boys and girls of the class of nineteen hundred fifteen. Since you are so curious, I shall describe my vision to you. but never repeat a single word of this to anyone.” I sat on a flat rock, and after my witch-friend had brandished a stick around her head and over mine three times, she plunged it into the red hot caldron and stirred the boiling potion. Although this is all in direct opposition to the wishes of the old witch, I shall take my chance and tell of the future of the boys and girls with whom I have spent the past four years. She began in a low dreamy voice, “First, I see Murray Rice amidst a huge pile of papers. He is editing the newspaper of Flint ten years hence. Here comes a very business-like man indeed, he is rushing so I can barely recognize him. Yes, it is William “Mac”Taylor. The chief shouts ‘Where is the society news?’ and in comes Marion Cars- cadden bringing the latest. They are all looking at one special item. I can just see it. ‘Cleta May Cole engaged to the Duke of Argyle.’ The next person I see is that brick- topped boy named Glen Graves, who is teaching dancing and skipping the rope to some smart young lady in a finishing school. In the office, Mildred Burgess is reprimanding a young lady and saying, ‘Miss Rasback, just because your father is the owner of the ‘John A. Rasback coal mines’ is no excuse-----!’ In the art department I can see Gladys Sluyter teaching a class. Here is a pretty little school house with Harriet Soper teaching. Ila Whitaker is at the door complaining that her Johnny has been hit by Tommy Brown in the schoolyard. The teacher is doing her best to appease the irate mother, but here comes Gladys McCartney, who by the animated discussion, I concluded is Mrs. Brown. Now I see a great department store. The head floor walker. Aral Riker is bowing to a smartly dressed woman, Gladys Armstrong. Near her, Madelin McCorkell owns a manicurist shop and beauty parlor ‘Gentlemen preferred.’ In a beautiful country home surrounded by many flowers. Hazel Love is very happy. Phoebe Brodow is teaching poetry to the deaf and dumb children of San Diego. Jean McGovern has taken Mr. Pratt’s place in the Chemistry Department in the Central High School in Flint. Here is a small country town. All the boys and girls are down to the station waiting to see the circus train come in. As they draw near, Henry Kurtz jumps on a white charger and superintends the driving of the animals to the grounds. One of the “stars” raises his window curtain and pokes his sleepy head out of the window. It is Philip Southworth, the leading clown. Marjorie Black features in one of the side shows doing the old ‘Hesitation’ to the tune of While We Were Dancing Around.” Page forty-six At this most interesting point the enchantress stopped and gazed away for a few minutes. . I waited breathlessly, fearing to break the mystic charm which enveloped her. She arose and stirred the potion vigorously, chanted some words, then resumed her tale. I see the old Buick factory completely changed into an aeroplane plant. Sherman Johnstone and Carl Chatters are seated in their private offices, the former giving some papers to his private secretary, Lula Darling, and the latter directing his foreman, Glen Dorrance. In one of the banks of this same prosperous city, Edward Culverwell is trying to dictate, without smiling, to a trim looking stenographer, Zella Currier. Farther down the street. Carlton Cooley is fitting a glass eye to Harry Loss, who as head engineer tried to save his train from a serious wreck and had barely saved himself tho at that he was minus an eye. The old F. H. S. is all covered with ivy and is used as a museum, through which Florence Lang escorts the visitors. There are many freak mummies embalmed by Curts Chambers, Funeral Directors. Mavis Allen and Edna Andrew are the respected managers of the leading haberdasher’s establishment. DeHull Black watches with envy the stream of customers going in and out. In one of his stores windows is a poster announcing the coming of a ‘Second Billy Sunday,’—Bryan Baker. Alvin Belford is the proud owner of the best greenhouse in Detroit. Some of his success is due to his head gardener, Clark Pasmore. A few of your worthiest classmates have passed the civil service examinations. Harold Perry is the postmaster of the busy city of Grand Blanc. Howard Hoffman fills a similar position at Davison. Mildred Welles is in a very responsible position at Washington, in the treasury department. As Secretary of State, Lloyd Gensel is figuring brilliantly in Washington society. Dorothy Johns is teaching scientific cooking in a private school in the same city. Many of your classmates seem to migrate to countries farther away. Here is Fern Williston explaining the ‘Enfranchisement of Women in America’ to the Chinese men. Margaret Stark and Erma Stanard are conducting one of the largest military schools for girls in Afghanistan. Down in South Africa Edna Brock has established a ‘Young Women’s Christian Association,’ and in an exquisite palm garden in the rear of this beautiful building, I see Florence Bridgman teaching sewing to the native women. Following with my eye from San Francisco across the Pacific, I come to the coral reefs just off the coast of Australia and I see Frank Wascher and Alan Walker conducting a large export trade in coral. Most of their output is shipped direct to ‘Orendorf Bendle’, the largest jewelry store in Savannah. In Yokahama I can see Ethlynde Brock- way alighting from an aeroplane, having just finished a trip across the Pacific. She is shaking hands with Bessie Kirn who has married the Japanese Minister to the United States and he has taken her back with him to live with his people. On a very modernized ranch in California, Dale Tompkins is kept busy with his wife and seven children. Next I see a billboard in front of a great moving picture theatre advertising special features for the week—Kenneth Howard, successor to the late Charlie Chaplin, and Josephine Gifford taking the parts formerly made famous by Mary Pickford. It is about eight o’clock at night and I see Ethel Clark trying to per- suade her husband to get tickets for she feels she must see her old classmates. Herr Howes, another of your dignified Seniors is a Professor of German at Yale. Gladys Johnson is managing the housekeepers’ league in Washington with Adah Horton as her first assistant. They are preparing the hall for a speaker that night, a woman whose name was famous in connection with this league, Roberta Welles. The next person I can distinguish is Doris Powell sedately seated at a big desk. She is directing a matrimonial agency in New York City. There is a list of her victims and their respective fates on the wall. Here are three whose names are familiar to you: Mazie Pidd. wedded to a rich old man of seventy years; Carl Gensel, the lady killer in your day, has married a discouraged debutante. At the very end is Kathleen Graham opposite the name of a Mr. Perkins, and their place of residence—a small farm in Texas. Here is Albert Austin, a man who was very bashful in his high school days, but he has completely outgrown this affliction. He'has recently secured a divorce from his first wife and is now flirting outrageously with a pretty widow, Anna Persons. Merle Gaskell is travelling for notions. He often visits the store of Helen Atherton. I now see the champion of your Shakespeare club in the days of its youth. Burrell Smith is now producing such plavs as would almost shake the spear out of Shakespeare. Of course, Bertha Lucy is the star in most of them. Nellie Vail is reeling off moving picture scenarios with equal rapidity. Herman Baker, the lone male survivor of the household physics Page forty-seven class, is now a famous mind reader. He has a large practise among the ladies. Here is Grace Callahan, who is married to a wealthy banker’s son in Chicago. In the same city 1 see Bernard Dunn owner of a large wholesale milinery establishment. He employs Dolly Madison Johnson to go to South America twice a year for the advance styles. Speaking of great firms, Russell Moffatt has a combine of grocery stores in Cleveland. His success is partly due to his affability to his lady customers. He also makes a specialty of giving away Hershey bars to his customers when the bills are paid. 1 here is a very exciting game being played, that of indoor football invented by Sydney McDade. Glen Scott is coach for one team and Harold Cudaback for the other. With such athletic leaders the teams are very well matched. As head librarian of Flushing Lela Fitzgerald is very competent. Laurie Kaufman writes monthly articles for the Outlook. You have a celebrated author in your midst. Arlene Kerr is the famous author of The All European War of 1915.” At the head of a training school for nurses Gladys McQuigg presides. Her head nurse in the operating department is Beatrice Cheney. Edna McCaughna is President of the Socialist League in Swartz Creek and she is working hard to install Margaret Jones as prosecuting attorney.” There was a long pause after Margaret’s destiny was pronounced. The witch stirred hard on the other destinies and chanted some Latin words. She stopped long enough to tell me that as soon as the fluid was crystallized her powers would leave her until next year. It was more than half crystallized and I begged her to continue and tell me more of her visions before it was too late. “Olive Soulby has married an explorer, and they are cruising about in the waters near Cape Cod. Ida Donahue is her companion, who seems to have fallen deeply in love with the first mate. Rosina Elstner is a model housekeeper but she will not stand for dogs. Her husband owns the famous Yorkshire kennels. She has consulted her gray haired lawyer, Victor George, about it. Doris Eckley and Bernice George the two who stand for wisdom and volubility are raising all kinds of fancy owls and parrots. I see Florence Hemingway entertaining at an animal luncheon (one where dogs and cats and birds are given as favors) for her old classmate Miss Gable, who has recently announced her engagement to a Greek professor in Ann Arbor. Willard Barton is still the leading man in fame. He owns a trans-Atlantic aero line with his headquarters at London. Joe Blackinton is sinking massive tiles for the construction of a tunnel to connect Tokio and San Francisco. It is to be finished in nineteen hundred forty. Here 1 see two old ladies, Esther Barton and Helen Olmstead. They are peacefully knitting under an old oak tree on a beautiful lawn. While Helen is discussing the wrongs of a frivolous life and Esther is defending the young people, their pastor, Rev. Perrv Whitaker D. D„ comes to call. They are making a great ado over him and calling’ him “Doc” as in olden days. I leave this happy group and look at New York. On the top floor of the tallest sky-scraper built in nineteen thirty-five, Dorothy Austin is painting in her studio. Mildred Ries is in an adjoining studio drawing cartoons for the New York Herald. Hazel Gorton, the beaming star of your class, who didn’t have to look at her books unless she had time, was recently elected President of the Peace Association and is on an ocean liner bound for Australia. She is talking to Leo Cole, the captain of this beautiful boat. Rose Cooney is the hair dresser. On her way to the wireless booth to send some instructions to one of her secretaries, Eva Dodds. Hazel encounters Charlie Elliott exhibiting some samples of men’s apparel to an elderly looking gentlemen. Here is a sad. lonesome woman, Hazel Nickel. Her gallant soldier man wandered off and shot himself so now Hazel sits all day singing his praises to an enormous portrait of him. Howard Chapel has a long beard and is in consultation with another eminent doctor over a sick child. The mother, Florence Robertson, and the father are anxiously waiting outside the room when Dr. Chapel rushes out to say that everything is safe. Marie Riker has entered the convent life and I see her with her white veil working on little blue and red jumper suits for some children in Northland. Last but not least, Louise Baker will issue an invitation to her old classmates to visit her at her beautiful summer home on the shores of Lake Michigan just outside of Grand Haven. By this time the fluid was all crystallized on top and the old woman ended all with a wave of her stick and vanished. Page forty-eight History of the Class of 1915 YEAR 1911-12 On the fifth day of September. 1911. the hugle call was sounded for the arrival of the new army in the Flint High School, a well known fortress. A goodly number of troops were present and were immediately taken in charge by Lieutenant Fuller, while Captain Wade assumed his stand with General Cody within wireless-radio distance. Although we were not a hand of Indians, no sooner had we arrived than we were waylaid by an antagonistic band of warriors going under the war-like title of Sopho- mores, and we were forced to undergo the very humiliating experience of being personally adorned with a conglomeration of substances, the most common of which was green paint. Our military manoeuvers were laughed at as we gazed with child-like wonder, upon the fiendish faces of our tormentors. Soon the 1914’s became eager for a skirmish and consequently a war of football was declared. Being of a peaceful disposition and not wishing to arouse the base fighting passions of such a weak-wil'ed set of mercenaries to a state of frenzy, we allowed them to appease their blood thirsty desires, in the interest of common law and order. Consequently was recorded a decision of 50 to 0 against us. All was then peaceful for a time and it was thought that the battle axe had been laid aside for good, when a sudden challenge from the Sophs set our camp once more in a turmoil. Mindful of their disposition and of the old adage, “If thy neighbor smite thee on the right cheek turn thy left to him,” we again suffered ourselves to be defeated by a score of 9 to 3. Thus the struggle for supremacy was ended and in June the raw recruits” were no more. YEAR 1912-13 After a short furlough of two months we were again mustered into line in front of the old barracks on the Tuesday after Labor Day by various new and efficient commanders. Following ancient customs, the usual tactics were gone through with to the great discomfiture of members of the 1916 recruits, who at our command performed various athletic and penitential rites. Nevertheless in the daily camp routine we had to toe the mark, and were compelled to have our desks and surrounding territory in order for unexpected invasions of the enemy. The most important event of the year was the forming of an organization among the ranks. The officers were elected as follows: President, Joseph Blackinton; Vice President, Marion Carscadden; Treasurer, Aral Riker; Secretary. Marjorie Black. Dues were discussed and purple and white selected as the favorite colors. After this we felt our fighting efficiency increased a thousand fold. Finally, one brisk winter evening, as recreation for the severe training we were forced to undergo, we were permitted to have a sleigh ride to the home of Victor George, where a very enjoyable time was passed, and an account of which appeared in the Pennant, a paper edited by a few of our illustrious comrades. No other startling events occurred and we passed peacefully along to the end of our second year of enlistment. Page forty-nine YEAR 1913-14 All war-like feelings towards the class of 1916 had disappeared by this time. A few battles were indulged in with the class of 1914, mainly a tug of war, which was a victory for them. Some members of our band refused to assist in the fray, but later received their deserts in the form of a ducking. In due course new officers were installed to lead us through the maze of Junior life until we once again assembled on the last stages of our journey towards graduation. The master of ceremonies was Thomas Buckham; his assistant, Grace Callahan; treas- urer, John Hamaker; and secretary, Josephine Gifford. We again challenged the Seniors to combat. Once more assembled on the grid- iron we at last came into our own and humbled the proud class of 1914 to the dust. But they swallowed their defeat handsomely, and gave us a party in the armory to show that no animosity existed as a result of the duel. Later we returned the compliment, intro- ducing as a novelty, an excursion to Lake Orion. The two classes journeyed there in special cars to spend an unforgettable day in that sylvan spot. YEAR 1914-15 September again found our illustrious classmates assembling into line ready to get back into the fray. How different it all seemed! Now we were Seniors with only one more year of work before we would leave forever the associations and enjoyments of our school days. The first event, and one which was quite necessary to tame the spirits of the Junior Class and to insure the future peace of the school in general, was the tug of war, which took place at Thread Creek. The poor Juniors were unceremonious- ly dragged across the stream and emerged laughing and dripping on the farther side. The now thoroughly quenched 1916 class were only too glad to acknowledge our superiority and we were able to devote full time and energy to our own important affairs Civil matters became paramount and consequently our last class officers were elected: the suave Willard Barton becoming President; Marion Carscadden, Vice Presi- dent; Gladys Johnson, Secretary; and Carl Gensel, Treasurer. We still remained under the protecting wing of Miss Seymour and under her gentle influence and guidance have at last emerged to full-fledged graduates. Breaking a precedent, the Senior and Junior classes united and gave a splendid party in the Dryden hall. While dancing was, of course, the chief form of entertain- ment, many novel features were introduced which made the party one of the best that has ever been given and one which we shall always remember with pleasure. It is with sadness that we leave the battered old fortress, the Faculty and friends and acquaintances we have made within its walls. How we will miss the good times we have had! With real regret at leaving, we take up our somber journey but we can never forget our four short years at Flint High School. Page fifty P R AS P'EllM: i 2 The Class of 1915 FOUR YEARS AGO in September (How quickly the years do pass) The High School opened wide its doors And welcomed its Freshman Class And little it knew when we entered What a glorious class we’d be But as to the kind of a crowd we were Continue and you will see. We ran the gauntlet as Freshmen With a courage beyond compare; And evinced a knowledge of studies That made our instructors stare. We showed the conceited sophomores That our class was as good as their’s That our manners are just as polished As anyone’s far or near. Then came an event which saddened The rest of our Freshman year; The death of William DeRoo, A friend we held most true. “Good Old Bill” as the last of the classes To bask in your kindly smile, We honor your memory and are thankful, That we knew you for that short while. As Sophomores we were as important As ever a class could be, And if some of us got “conditions”, It was only for novelty. If perchance we met a member Of sixteen’s baby class. We told him in tone most lordly: Step aside and let us pass.” Page fifty-one Then lo and behold we were Juniors And our requisite points were made; And governed by “Toddy” Buckhatn With a capable staff for his aid. We gave the Seniors an outing That we hear them praising still; And the teachers we chose for our chaperones. Showed our handsome dramatic skill. And now at last we are Seniors, Looked up to by all the rest; And of all the years of our glory, This one is surely the best. For what other class of this High School Acted Shakespeare as well as we’ve done Much less have a real performance Fit for Marlowe or anyone? For President we chose Willard Barton, A druggist we think he will be. Gladys Johnson had charge of note taking, Carl Gensel the money end. Marion Carscadden we made our Vice-President, And with Flint Printing Co.’s best We present 1915 Prospectus Far excelling all the rest. But our school days are almost over And the time is approaching when The aim that brought us together Will send us apart again. So let us pause in passing, And as one body cry : Nine rahs for the class of ’15 And nine for old Flint High. E. B. Page fifty-two Page fifty-three Society Few and far between have been the social activities of the Seniors, but never- theless, those we have had have been a decided success. On January 15, Doris Eckley broke the ice by inviting the class out to her home to spend the evening. The girls were to furnish a pot luck supper, so the boys “insisted” upon paying for the bobs (?). At seven-thirty, two bob-loads, chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Wightman and the Misses Baker and Tressler left the High School Owing to the large crowd a few of the members rode on coasting bobs. As there was very little snow at the time these bobs were difficult to manage, and outside of Marion’s losing her rubber, and the rest their balance, the ride was an enjoyable one. The evening was spent in playing games, and various other stunts. One of the hits of the evening was the musical selection rendered by the world famous musicians. Baker and Howard, on the piano-organ. Later a few of the younger juniors, wishing to make themselves prominent, followed their upper classmates; but after discovering that the “welcome” sign for some strange reason was not in the customary place at the front entrance, they seemed to feel out of place, and returned home. We understand, however, that they had the time of their lives. The next social function of the season was a hay-ride, due to the kindness of Burrell Smith. Two wagon loads of Seniors chaperoned by Mr. Wightman and the Misses Baker and Tressler. left the High School. With the help of our “Victrolas.” Brick Graves, who played many catchy tunes on his mouth organ, the ride was one not easily forgotten. The evening was spent in games and dancing; later a flashlight picture was taken of the group. About twelve o’clock we started home and arrived with- out mishap. For many years it has been the custom for the Seniors to entertain the Juniors and in return the Juniors pay back the Seniors. This year, however, there was a change —the Juniors did not feel themselves capable of entertaining the Seniors, so begged their upper classmates to let them share the expense and give but one party. After some consideration we consented and with our artistic ideas and some help on the part of the Juniors the party was a huge sticcees. The party took the form of a cabaret dance, and was well attended by the parents, members of the School Board, the Faculty, and an unusually large number of pupils. The hall was beautifully decorated. Upon first view one would think himself in a Venetian garden. The reception hall was adorned with branches of apple blossoms, and white lattice work was covered with smilax and silk flowers. Each light in the ball room was covered with pink chrysanthemums; the parlors were trimmed with the Senior class colors and there many who did not dance found games and other amuse- ments. In the dining room, where a two course menu was served the Junior colors were artistically arranged. On April fourteenth the Cadets held their annual carnival in the Armory hall. This was the “big noise” of the season. At one end of the hall ice cream, popcorn and hot-dogs were served; in one corner there was a tent in which the Misses Baker and Tressler, dressed as gypsies, told fortunes to all who “crossed the cards with a coin.” Other amusements, such as basket ball, fishpond and Mrs. Warley’s wax jerks went on during the evening until nine o’clock, when dancing began, lasting until twelve o’clock. As a fitting climax to our four years in High School there remain two more social functions, the Senior picnic and class day. If these achieve the success they deserve, they will always remain in the memory of our High School life, as the last events, in which we took an active part and enjoyed to the utmost.

In its place has sprung up a special department in teaching which bids fair to surpass in glory and fame our old and welcome time dispenser, the afternoon debates of the Oratorical Club. Dear student, if at some time or other you see some peculiar person wandering aimlessly over the campus spouting incoherent sputterings upon the unoffending molecules that compose this humble sphere, thru a mouth as full of pebbles as would make Demosthenes turn green with envy, fear not that you have been suddenly and unconsciously transported by some fairy hand to the vicinity of Pontiac or Lapeer. Indeed, No” ’Tis only some fortunate member of the public speaking class preparing long, words of wisdom which would stun the ear of our greatest orators. Though we have no Oratorical Association yet we debated with Lansing in a double header during March. The subject of the debate was “Shall the U. S. govern- ment own and control the telephone and telegraph systems?” The negative team consist- ing of Clarice Winchester, Faye Willson and Ganiard Whitney went to Lansing chaperoned by Miss Mingay, the coach, while the affirmative consisting of Burrell Smith, Stanley Powel and Carl Gensel took up the argument in room D of the High School the same evening. Unfortunately both teams were defeated. However, we hope that next year with the increased interest in debating which has been steadily growing in the last two years, our team may carry off all the honors. Page fifty-six £M$m Some School Events MR. BOB A short playlet under the direction of Miss Mingay was given November 20, 1914, at Fr. Murphy’s Hall. The play, which was a comedy, was a success from every stand- point. The principals did exceptionally well and are to he congratulated on the fine showing made. The sketch received much clever advertising at the hands of Business Manager Thomas Wolcott and as a result the house was packed, yielding a profit of over 850 with which to pay off the indebtedness of the old oratorical association.

Buckham “DAVID BISPHAM” Of this sad tale the less said the better. The deplorable lack of support from the Senior class for such a real musical treat is a thing to be deeply regretted by all. How- ever, we are inclined to place the blame for its unpopularity more upon the extremely inclement weather than on absolute indifference of the student body. RECITAL A recital was given by a few of Miss Mingay’s proteges at the high school, May 5, for the benefit of the H. S. orchestra. Among the students of the Public Speaking Class who took part were Miss Beryl Briggs. Mr. Howard Skall, Miss Fern Shieck, Mr. Lauren Billings, Mr. De Hull Black, Miss Fern Williston, Miss Ethel Clark, Mr. Lloyd Wertman and Miss Cleta Cole. Miss Marian Lawrason and Mr. Carl Gensel assisted with several solo numbers. As was to be expected the affair was an entire success. “LE MEDECIN MALGRE LUI” On May 27, in Stone Theater, the French class under the direction of Miss Williams staged the famous farce comedy “Le Medecin Malgre Lui” (“A Doctor in Spite of Himself.”) The play was well presented and was witnessed by an appreciative audience. Miss Williams deserves much credit for the success of the play and her efforts have not gone unappreciated.

AMONG THE FOUR BILLION The J anglers entertained last Wednesday at the home of Miss MeCaughna in honor of Mr. Burrell Smith of the Senior Class, Flint High School. An elaborate dinner was served. The dining room was elegantly decorated with cauliflower, while among the delicacies served were weinerwurst sausage ala bow-wow. Miss Kathleen Graham’s Sunday School class of young men held their annual picnic at Pier’s Grove last Thursday. Canoeing formed the chief amusement. Refresh- ments were served. The “Bring ’em Up and Knock ’em Down Society” met at the home of Miss Bertha Lucy last Tuesday. The charter members of the “Take it Easy” club held a “get together” supper in the basement of the Garland Street church last Friday evening. An interesting paper on The Evils of Modern Wearing Apparel” was read for the edification of some of the visitors by Miss Florence Bridgman. Page fifty-eight !p fd 3 The Arc-Lite To take the place of the Pennant, which publication was discontinued in December, a new monthly paper was organized. The first issue appeared in January under the name Arc-Lite. The paper was a success from the start and has been steadily improv- ing with each issue. It is planned to keep the editorial and business departments in the hands of the Seniors and Juniors respectively, the succeeding officers to be elected at the end of each year by the Junior and Sophomore classes.

Then for a long time it seemed practically dormant but it finally bloomed forth again (in keeping with the season) May 5. at the recital given in room D of the High School. Here it also demonstrated its ability to master compositions from the “Mighty Lak’ a Rose” to the more strenuous “He’s a Rag Picker.” Its next appearance was at the cadet carnival. Armory hall.

Page fifty-nine 11 A Meeting The gong ringing at 1 :15 finds the Senior girls in a heated session. The discussion is of a very important character, uniform dress for graduation exercises. At 5 P. M. the meeting adjourns, attended by much hard feeling and no results. The argument is resumed day after day in wearisome succession. Who can have the temerity to suggest that women are fit for the ballot ? After reading the minutes of one of the meetings, the reader will undoubtedly be a fit subject for an insane asylum. Scene—Senior session room. Time—Perpetual. The curtain rises with a senior girl as chairman, and a prominent senior girl has the floor. Girl:—“Well, fellow students and sufferers, ’tis indeed a great question we have to debate today. Now I should say that a uniform dress is about as much of an expense as-------(but this should remain unprinted.) Now loking at it from this stand- point, the relative merits resolve themselves into two units; firstly: “To be and not to am.” and secondly, “the high cost of white slippers.” I think you all understand the question. I now make a motion that we wear pink hair ribbons when calling on the fellows on the third Sunday of each month.” Chairman :—“Any seconds to that motion.” (Dead silence.) Girl:—“Well, to relieve an embarrasing situation I’ll second it myself.” Chairman:—“All in favor say aye, contrary same. The ayes have it. I would now like to read a telegram which I have just received. Most Noble Wimmen. The Senior Boys after prolonged session voted to wear pajamas - and fur overcoats at commencement exercises. SENIOR BOYS. Per “Mushy” Barton. A Girl:—“Miss Chairman. I think’s it’s time we showed our independent spir-r-ut. If the boys have to go and wear uniforms I don’t think we ought to do it at all. So there ” Another:—“I think if the boys wear overcoats we should he consistent and wear high topped shoes.” (Great applause.) Still Another:—“Miss Chairman. I make a motion we get down to the business of the hour. Do we or do we not want our pictures engraved on our watch fobs I make a motion to that effect. Voice:—“I second that movement.” (Elgin.) Chairman:—“The chair will entertain the motion this time hut hereafter kindly address the chair before venturing to second a move. All those in favor of spending 19' i cents for hairpins say so. (Great commotion.) Contrary same. (Silence). Motion is lost unfortunately.” One More Girl:—“Miss Chairman. As long as everyone else is making motions, I think I ’ll make a few myself. I move that we limit the expenditure for dresses to 69)4 cents per square acre. I also move that we eliminate silks and satins and that uniform flowers he worn by the girls—my preference dandelions—also I move that the motions of a few of my most worthy contemporaries be written on tissue paper so that they can be seen through.” (Subdued voice from rear of room excitedly) :—“I tell you I will not wear earrings before all those people.” Chairman:—“Is there any more discussion on the motions? If not, why not? Young Lady:—“Yes, there is. I think we ought to wear “Peter Tompkins” for the pure and simple reason that they are cooler—in the winter.” (Great uproar followed by near riot.)

MAYER Why were the athletic teams representing Flint High School more successful fluring the last two years than in the past? This is a question often asked and easily answered. The credit for this showing goes to Glenn S. Mayer. Coach Mayer came to Flint in the spring of 1912, in which year the football team lost every game but one, and in the short space of time of three years he has brought F. H. S. athletics up to their present high standard. “But the material was more promis- ing than usual.” some may say. Perhaps so, but not in natural ability. It was his careful teaching that made it promising. Mr. Mayer is not of the blustering type of coaches, who rave between the halves of a football game, swear at the fellows, and tell them to kill the opposing players, but those who have played on his teams will recall such sayings as this: Well, fellows, I haven’t a word to say about the way you are playing, you’re all in the game every minute, but you haven’t put forth your whole strength yet, you still have something in reserve and now is the time to bring it out. I want you to go out on the field when the time is up and fight until you can’t stand up, rather than lose this game. The people on the sidelines expect it of you.” It will be a great blow to Flint High School when he leaves at the completion of this year’s work, for even though his successor he of equal ability, it will take some time to win the confidence and good will of the fellows and the school at large, which Mr. Mayer now enjoys. Page sixty-one Football LAPEER Lapeer came to town with a strong newspaper team and confident in their ability to wipe out last years defeat. But alas! actions speak louder than words. We marched up and down the field, pushing them all over the lot in such a way that when the final whistle blew, and the dust had cleared away, the extent of the rout' was found to be 106 to 0, which is said to be the record for a Flint High team. Captain Hardy featured the game with his spectacular end runs, while Austin. Williams. Baker and Morrish and all new men played like veterans. OWOSSO We went to Owosso expecting to repeat the same score of the Lapeer game. But our hopes were shatterd; for they put in the field the best team of scrappers that we met during the entire season. Although without hope of winning they fought like tigers through the whole game. The July weather also served to take the spirits out ot ° £je °WS' so that we considered ourselves lucky to run up 54 points to their 13 (I he above is the reason for lack of “spirits” given by the Athletic Editor but in commenting on the same we should think that if “hard cider” still possessed its usual (haracteristics at that date, there should have been an over-abundance of temporary good spirits. —Ed.) ARTHUR HILL (SAG. WEST.) Alter filling the papers all over the state with bear stories about their weak team, Arthur Hill brought down the strongest team that ever represented the school. 1 luring the first quarter they outplayed us in all departments, driving us slowly down the held by terrific line plunges, and at the beginning of the second quarter. Richter their fullback, ran twenty yards around end for a touchdown. This woke our boys up so that in spite of desperate defense we marched down the field after the next kickoff and put the hall over the goal just as the whistle blew for the half This gave us renewed confidence, and in the second half we tore their line to shreds for a total of 23 points which made the final score 29 to 6. Page sixtg-two m irgyiSj MmMM i Page sixty-three p,r q:|3|JS8IISE DETROIT EASTERN That the time is past when weight alone wins football games, was proven con- clusively when we smothered Detroit Eastern under a 34 to 0 score. For although the visitors presented several men and one in particular, who could have done full justice to any circus as a leading side-show attraction, our men played rings around them, McDade, in particular, who played his best game of the season against (great) odds. The hack field men enjoyed themselves throughout the game in running through the holes opened by the forwards. KALAMAZOO By this time the team was bewailing the fates that decreed so many games, on home grounds, so that for a slight diversion and (excursion) a game was scheduled with Kalamazoo. This was the first time in the annals of the school that Flint had tackled the “Celery City.” Let it he put to the credit of our opponents that the celery was kept off the bill of fare for the noon repast, which fact enabled our men to enter the game with their usual vigor and aggressiveness. Kalamazoo used the forward pass continuously and. while many were successful, they never really threatened. On the other hand, they were unable to stop our end runs and line smashes; so that we had no trouble in running up 44 points to their 14. PORT HURON The weather was fine; Port Huron was easy. The visitors presented a strong team and were determined to get revenge for last year’s defeat. But the fates decreed otherwise. Pretty crimson blankets and uniforms are not the only essentials that go to make up a winning football team. Our line held like a wall and'the visitors never had a chance to score; making their downs only twice during the game. In the meantime Hardy and Baker were tearing through them for 23 points. SAGINAW EASTERN We were expecting an easy game with Saginaw Eastern and underrated their ability. For this reason our fellows were somewhat surprised when they started off with a rush and scored a touchdown in the first five minutes of play. This only served to make our attack fiercer when we once received the ball and from then on the scorekeepers were pushed to the limit pf their ability in recording the points scored by our machine. The final score, it has since been ascertained, stood 41 to 6 when the last member of the Eastern squad was seen scurrying to the outer edges of Flint in a wild endeavor to find a comfortable spot to rest his weary frame. JACKSON We went into the game with the prison-city team with no mistaken ideas about their strength. We knew that we were up against the hardest proposition that an F. H. S. team ever encountered. But we were also confident in our ability, and were determined to win at any cost; knowing that our chances for playing Detroit Central for the state title depended upon the result of this game. The visitors were reported as having a strong line, and were depending on this to open holes for the backfield. But Austin, McDade and Southworth repelled every attack upon their positions and continually broke through the line to spoil their plays. The other linemen also held their men even. Hardy played a spectacular game, shaking off tackier after tackier, and going ten or fifteen yards after he seemed down. Rigby, although playing in his first game, showed what he was made of and pulled off a number of long runs. Every man on the team was there for business and fought every minute of p’av. Had it not been for several costly fumbles the score would have been even larger; but even a 17 to 6 victory over Jackson is a thing of which to be proud. Page sixty-four Page sixty five . BAY CITY EASTERN n iii-'ju. Playing on the worst field of the season we defeated Bay City Eastern 18 to 0; and won the valley cup for the first time. According to tradi- tion the cup was presented to the Saginaw Valley Association fifteen years ago, but last year was the only year that an F. H. S. team ever had a chance to bring it home. Even then we lost it on a technicality, specifically, because we did not play every team in the Valley. This year, however, there was no question about our right to it, for we defeated them all. The muddy field slowed our fellows up and made the game rather un- interesting. “Mac” Taylor did some good work running back punts and hitting the line, but on the whole we took things easy that we might be fresh for the ensuing game with Detroit. DETROIT CENTRAL Twice during the last two years we have played Detroit Central for the State football title and both times we have been defeated. When interviewed after the game with Detroit on Thanksgiving day, Coach Mayer made the statement: “We played a better team.” This was undoubtedly true, but every one of our fellows maintains that the difference between the two teams was not so great as the score would seem to in- dicate. All the breaks in luck were in Detroit’s favor. They won the toss and chose to receive the kickoff at the west goal with a perfect gale at their backs. With this advantage and aided by a severe attack of stage fright on our part, they had no trouble in tearing through us for four touchdowns during the first quarter. In the second quarter, after changing goals, we held them more than even and the playing was constantly in their territory, although we were unable to cross their line. By this time our fellows were worn out by the unequal fight, and so the third and fourth quarters somewhat resembled the first. The loss of Austin, who was injured in the Jackson game, was greatly felt. It seems hard indeed to close the season with such a crushing defeat in a post- season game, after pulling through the hardest schedule a Flint High team was ever called upon to face, with flying colors. But, if we remember that our team was out- weighed 25 lbs. to the man, and was picked from a student body numbering about 600, while the Detroit team was picked from a school with an enrollment of 2500, the game does not seem to be a disgrace but rather a credit to our school.

Little interest was shown in the game this year, judged by the number of games won and lost, the season could hardly be called a success. But when we consider that only one evening of practice could be obtained each week, the showing made was excellent. Whatever may be said about the success of the season, the fellows who composed the team cannot be praised too highly. The F. H. S spirit was shown more clearly for the little band of rooters who attended the games saw a team which was fighting every minute, even after all hope of victory was lost. The following men received their “F’s”: Ed. Culverwell, Captain; Sidney McDade, John Barr. Fred Fraser, Herman Baker, Charles Bassett. Alma Williams, Dale Tompkins, and Ralph Orendorff. The girls’ team, while training under the same handicaps as the boys' team, made a very creditable showing for the season and the girls deserve the thanks of all for the splendid spirit shown in reporting for their positions and remaining on the team under such unenthusiastic conditions. The members who composed the team are: Cap- tain. Mildred Bunce. forward; Doris Reed, center; Helen Stone, guard: Gladys Morton, guard: Agnes McGillivrav. forward; Dorothy Howe, sub; Mildred Irvine. Sub. Page sixty-eight USSI p ros irc.c r-u s Athletic Association As customary the annual election of the F. H. S. Athletic Club was held the first Tuesday in February. Out of the host of candidates for the various officers there were, of course, five successful ones. Considerable confusion and anxiety was caused by the qualifications of different candidates but these minor requirements were soon patched up and the election proceeded without a hitch. Upon Richard Rigby, erstwhile foot- baller of Detroit Central fame, was bestowed the honor of President. The Association is surely in good hands in the command of this able executive. Next in order came the Vice-Presidency. As usual the weaker sex outwitted the masculine politician and hoisted their candidate into office in the face of great opposition. The duties of this office are so numerous that the successful candidate. Miss Edna Crawford, will be kept busy day and night. But, tut! we should worry none! because there is no question of this person’s capabilities. Imagine the disappointment prevailing, when Bryan Baker announced that he would be unable to be with us another year as the J. P. Morgan firm had engaged him to become head cashier of their financial institution, at a salary of $500.000 a year. Thereupon Thomas Wolcott was chosen Secretary-Treasurer of the Association. The duties are very slight, aside from a few worries about schedule mak- ing, finances, buying articles, quoting prices, paying bills, collecting dues, selling tags and a few other trifles he has nothing to do. Tod Buckham was elected Student- Member and this office was well taken care of by him. But shortly after the election, to the regret of all, he was forced to leave school because of ill health. After Buck- ham’s departure the board put their heads together and as a result Harold Batterson was appointed to the office. Now the duties of this office are necessarily very heavy. There is a meeting to be attended every week where his vote is given on the paying of bills, signing of contracts, purchasing articles, and others too numerous to mention. Very grave fears are felt for the continued good health of the incumbent of the office and it is hoped that a total break-down will not result as a consequence of his arduous duties. Now comes the last of the student officers, the Marshall. This office was as bittery contested as the rest, Bunnel Bowles finally succeeded in corralling enough votes Page sixty-nine PR OSPEC mu S 1“ to make the required majority. His one great task and one which is causing him con- siderable anxiety is to hold the name of the office. This bears so heavy upon him that it is feared he will not survive. The last year has been a most successful one for the Association. It has made more money in one season than it ever spent before in five years. It stands on a good financial foundation with a large sum laid by for the support of the football season next fall if it is necessary. The Association has arranged a good football schedule for the ensuing fall and it is hoped that it will prove the banner year of its existence. Page seventy F R Baseball Although we won the Valley Cup in football, which ought to be glory enough for one year, we are not satisfied, and are determined to get possession of the coveted baseball trophy. Our chances were greatly increased by defeating Arthur Hill, the present champion, and Bay City Eastern. According to all present indications, we should land the title. Six games have been played up to date, of which four have been won and two lost. There are four games remaining on the schedule: Lansing, May 26, at Flint. Pontiac, May 29, at Pontiac. Saginaw Eastern, June 5, at Flint. Bay City Western. June 12. at Bay City. April 17, at Flint: We opened the season with the Dort as our opponents. Everyone took kindly to the offerings of Uhelin and collected a total of eleven runs, while Harold Taylor held the North Enders completely at his mercy, giving them only three hits of the scratchiest variety, and striking out fifteen men. April 24. at Flint: Arthur Hill came down confidently expecting to take us into camp and incidentally to retain their hold on the Valley Title. But after ten innings of real baseball, they were finally humbled. We found Brooks in the early stages of the game for 3 runs. This looked like enough to win the game with Taylor pitching shut-out ball. But in the seventh with one out, a man reached first on an error. Then Taylor lost control momentarily, passed one man and allowed two hits, which gave our opponents three runs and tied the game. In our half of the tenth, however, Baker’s single with two on bases ended the game with the score 4 to 3 in our favor. April 28, at Flint: We expected to have an easy time with Bay City Eastern since we defeated them 7 to 3 last year on their home grounds. But they sent down a bunch of sluggers whom the combined efforts of H. Taylor, Mac” Taylor and Bassett failed to stop. Aided by numerous errors they collected 10 runs. Not at all discouraged by this we proceeded to win the game by getting 13. May 1, at Flint. H. Taylor had a sore arm. “Mac” Taylor and Bassett were off form. All the others slept peacefully until the eighth inning when it was too late to do anything, and our desperate rally fell short. Score: Owosso 3. Flint 2. May 15, at Port Huron. After a two weeks’ lay-off. we went to Port Huron determined to play baseball if we did lose the game. We did both. Harold Taylor was hit rather freely, and a number of errors caused by the poor condition of the field, were made at critical times. This served to give them a total of ten runs, while we could only collect five. May 22, at Lapeer. With Mac” Taylor pitching superb ball, we had no trouble beating Lapeer 20 to 0. Only five men on the opposing team reached first base and but one of these got to Page seventy-one Page seventy two .jr C •LL,.:favi;..... a second—the others being caught stealing. “Mac” allowed four scratchy hits and struck out eighteen men, while the team played errorless ball behind him. The hitting of Becker and Baker featured our attack. May 26, Lansing 2; Flint, 10. Track On April 27, the second annual cross-country run was staged. About twenty-five contestants were entered. Zar Rumbold and Carrol Bird, two Freshmen, received first and second places respectively, while Glen Graves, Senior, came third. The three were awarded CCC’s, the first ever given out at Flint High. The Juniors carried off the banner, not through superiority in running, but in number of contestants entered. The next event was the inter-class meet held at the Buick race track. Here the Seniors demonstrated their superior physical prowess and won the highest number of points. Track work this year has been taken charge of by Mr. Pratt of the chemistry department. Mr. Pratt worked hard in connection with the school events and as a result succeeded in arousing much enthusiasm. At present lie is endeavoring to whip a track team into shape that will represent Flint at the Saginaw Valley meets. It is up to the students to get out and support him and help re-instate track athletics in the school. Following are the members of the present track team: Sidney McDade, Captain; C. Bird. John Osborn. Albert Austin. H. Baker, V. George. Z. Rumbold. Salis- bury, “Mac” Taylor, G. Whipple. Optimism We cannot, of course, all be handsome. And it’s hard for us all to be good; We are sure now and then to be lonesome And we don’t always do as we should. To be patient is not always easy To be cheerful is much harder still But at least we can always be pleasant. If we make up our minds that we will. And it pays every time to be kindly, Although we feel lonely and blue; If you smile at the world and look cheerful. The world will soon smile at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant. No matter how long you are down, Good humor is always contagious But you banish your friends when you frown. —Ex Meditations of a Has-Been “We once knew a suffraget who used to get real peeved hecause her husband used to send her upstairs just so he could call her down.” “The only way some women will get their hands squeezed is by wearing tight gloves.” “Mr. Hiram Wun-lung will now favor us with that beautiful little ballad, “What Good is the Fac-Simile Without the Signature?” Page seventy-three .PR TU S- S3 A Geometrical Romance A tangent asked a yommng Oady to go fishing. “Brim «me tmy t£jU. awl well go to tine riper.” said fine.

There enlisted at once about forty-five fellows and thus was established a permanent military organization. Lieutenant Lawrence of the Michigan National Guard was selected as the instructor, and through his cooperation the company was soon able to make a good showing. In 1906, Ira Martin who was next in line advanced to the position of captain, but being unable to remain in school he tendered his resignation in favor of George Maines. The Corps, under the direction of Mr. Elston, who had been previously an instructor at Fort Kearney Military Academy, made rapid strides and were soon able to participate in several public events, the most interesting of which was a trip to Lansing, where they took part as an escort to the capitol when President Roosevelt visited that city. The following year, 1907, Bartley King rose to the captaincy and rapid progress was made under his command. During the years of 1909 and 1910, the military spirit which before this time had been exceedingly rife, seemed to have died out. and “piping times of peace” set in. In 1911, however, great enthusiasm was aroused and Dallas Marshall was elected captain. The company took part in the usual events and at the end of the school year they established the first camp at Long Lake, “Camp Wade.” In 1912 the second annual Cadet hop was given which proved to be a great success. During the years of 1912 and 1913, the organization was at its prime and under the leadership of its able com- mander, Harry H. Hopkins, many things were accomplished for which the company is much indebted to him. In 1914, Robert Gillespie advanced to the position of captain. The corps under his command proved to be an excellent repetition of the record of previous years and many enjoyable events ensued, notably the annual camp, “Camp Parmelee.” which was held at the end of the school year at Long Lake. Page seventy-six Page seventy seven 1914-1915 On September 29th, the reorganization of the company took place. The school- hoard kindly appropriated the sum of one hundred and twenty dollars to he used to hire a drill-master and for the rental of the armory. With but one drill, the company marched in the “Good Road’s Day” parade on October 29th, and two days previous to this, they took part in the Republican procession acting as an escort to Ex-Governor Osborn, regardless of their own party affiliations. The first turnout of the new year was the attending of services at the Presbyterian Church, on the so-called “Go to Church Sunday,” which happened on the 21st of February. Following this was an invitation to participate in the parade on the opening day of the Genesee Older Boys’ Conference, on March 20th. Later we took part in the “Dry” parade on Sunday, April oth, and two weeks following at the invitation of the Rev. Mr. Borley of the Presbyterian Church, services were attended on the evening of Sunday, April 18th. On April 30th, an excellent exhibition drill was presented at the “Cotton Ball,” held in the Dryden, the proceeds of which went to charity. The other events to be recorded are the second annual carnival held in the F. U. B. Armory, Friday, May 14th, the observance of Decoration Day and the annual camp. Thus will close one of the most successful years in the history of the organization. In conclusion, a word as to the aim of our organization may not be amiss. While camps, parties, parades, and uniforms may seem to figure largely in the foregoing, we trust that beneath it all is something not wholly unworthy of America. In these days, when our Canadian neighbors are being called to death on the field, when the Old World is being torn asunder, when the wisest statesmen of the New World dare not look two months ahead, we High School Cadets truly hope that even our humble labor may not be wholly a matter of show; that through this weekly drill, we may he able in the future to help at least a little in keeping our country in her place among the nations.

Page eighty six BEAUTY HINTS Care of the Nose. The nose is a prominent feature in the consideration of human beauty. To have a beautiful nose perform the following suggestions. Take a teaspoonful of Umfad oil in the dark and stir well, then take a spool of silk from which the silk has been removed and carve in this spool a triangular hole. Next, take the nose and place it in the hole so formed and be sure that the nose does not overlap. Should the nose do this, sand down with fine emery paper until the member fits snugly in the spool. Replace the silk on the spool and with the Umfad oil rub the right ear vigorously. If this does not produce the required results send a self-addressed envelope to Helen Olmstcad for further directions. Where Indolence Is Bliss ’Tis Folly to Arise. Dedicated to “Dug” Bliss.

Each muskrat lean and water snake The other’s ear did try to take Until, alas, there were none left And the brook of reptiles was bereft.

Flint Simplicity Durability Accessibility Built to Stand Abuse In Dort design every conceivable form of motor abuse has been anticipated and provided for. UNQUESTIONABLY no purchaser of a motor car in- tends to abuse it—when he buys it —but as a matter of fact all cars receive more or less unintentional abuse through carelessness or lack of knowledge of mechanical construction. The Dort will stand the strain, for Dort engineers have made ‘ durability” the strongest feature of the car. regardless of cost. Every form of abuse these engineers could imagine was applied to the Dort models before they were placed on the market. As a result the Dort will stand more hard usage than any car ought to be expected to get.
