Already, the upper classmen had started to in- flict punishment upon the boys by forcing them into the trees, using pins as spears to occasionally jab with. Soon the bell pealed out and summoned us to unknown tasks and hardships. Finally mustering up courage we approached the doors, and climbed those endless and wind- ing stairs to our goal. How dingy and uninviting those long, narrow corridors seemed! How unfriendly and ferocious those Sophomores looked! Could one for a moment believe that such a timid and faint- hearted group could be the basic foundation of this confident and happy class? For several days, yes, weeks, we poor frightened green “Freshies” were constantly getting mixed in our classes, and making all sorts of blunders. But soon under the careful and thoughtful leadership of our teachers, we began to realize that we were real live high school students. For months we puzzled our weary brains over algebra. It seemed as though we could never get it. And thus, we struggled along thru the year. The next fall found us as “Sophomores.” We were soon assembled together into a class, and named our leaders for the ensuing year. They were as follows: Norton Stewart, President; Helen Batterson, Vice-President; Herberta Stewart, Secretary, and Jay Crane, Treasurer. With jubilant spirits and with perseverance we went about our duties. We were gradually becoming learned. Geometry proved to be our only stumbling stone. Many was the day we went to class with un- prepared lessons, and would mumble our recitation indistinctly, and then our teacher would say, “I didn’t quite hear all of that, but I think it was right. Try it again,” and then, some big-hearted class- mate would help us out. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so when the snow had covered the ground, a sleigh-ride was planned. At last, the night came, and we journeyed to the home of Miss Lymburn, where we all en- joyed a pleasant evening. The remainder of the year passed swiftly and quietly by until the last day, when we held a picnic at Lakeside Park. Our Junior year found us under the guiding hands of Miss Sey- mour and Mr. Wellwood. This time we chose as our leader. Charles Chamberlain, assisted by Dorothy Winchester, Hortense McDonnell, our scribe, and William Hibbard, our tax-collector. Soon, the Seniors gave us a party, at which we had a very enjoyable time. In return, we gave them a party, which we tried to make as great a success. About this time the war began to have its effects upon us. Many 1 9 1 9 I Page sixty-five PROSPECTUS 1 9 HISTORY -CONTINUED of our boys answered the call of their country, some as sailors, others as soldiers, and still others as tillers of the soil. It is with pride that we look upon their earnest patriotism. The year passed rapidly, until June came, which found us worrying and cramming in anticipation of our examinations. These safely over, our fourth and last year dawned,—a year of happy dreams, punctuated now and then by an unavoidable nightmare in the form of physics. The class officers for this year were as follows: Gayton Newcombe, President; Dorothy Stewart, Vice-President; Lorene Dawson, Secretary, and Ralph Garner, Treasurer. In December we decided to entertain the Juniors at a party held at the Dryden. All that went nearly danced their feet off, and went home limping and laughing. We are now looking anxiously forward to our class picnic, and Commencement. We have finally reached the last page of our history. Before us lies the broad future with all its mysteries. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to our teachers who have borne our frivolities so patiently. We also extend a sincere desire for the success of our schoolmates. Thus, with higher ideals and brighter hopes, we, the Class of 1919, bid farewell. E. GLADYS TALLMAN, Historian. 1 9 1 9 10 n. LOMCli T niuvi Tint THRll innocents J ' • cr- s V°Hr. P . •: Ttltn Ur.

Of a sudden there came upon me A drowsiness born cf the calm, So I closed my heavy eyelids And felt the warm wind’s balm. In a trice there came down the pathway Twixt the poppies tall and red, The tiniest fairy creature With a gold crown on her head. She stopped 'neath a swaying lily, Perceiving me near at hand; Then lightly running toward me, She touched me with her wand. The magic of that contact Caused a wond’rous happening: I was changed from a human creature To an elf with rainbow wing. She led me, all amazement. Down the flowered fairy ways, To a place in the heart of the garden All hidden from human gaze. “I am the mighty Titania, Queen of the fairy band: Whate’er the whim that leads me, Let none oppose my plan! Wouldst know the fate and the fortunes Of thy friends of the old Flint High? Then ask, for I will answer By the Mirror That Cannot Lie.” As I stood by, eagerly waiting, She hopped on a mushroom chair. And peeped in the heart of a white rose To see what was hidden there. The golden cup was brimming With 3 magic kind of dew, That reflected on its surface The Future, as fairies knew. Now this is what was written In the heart of that white rose, In the hidden part of the garden Where the gentle warm wind blows In the dim and distant future, when our youth has slipped far by, We will hear of Gayton Newcombe. governor who’ll do or die; Thru the dang’rous rocks and shallows will he steer the ship of state, As in days of 1919 he has guided us so straight.

Till spring the world with beauty filled once more. “And one day, as the cock crew neath the sill, The weary one ceased her worn pen to ply, Fell back with chilling shriek and piteous groan, Then stretched herself upon the floor—to die.” I —-Dorothy Winchester.

The object of all this was to bring about the building of a new high school. Since we are sure that their ideal will soon appear on the horizon even in better form than they had exploded for, the word technical being prefixed to the term high school, we will hand them the sack of flour even in these days and pass on to the next phase in the development of a new Technical and High School which will live up to the reputation which this city has for intense in- dustry and accomplishment. Now, perhaps, we seem to side track in our story, but every one must beat around the bush in his particular way so be patient and humor us. Sprinkled about through the student body of our school are persons, who, because of their mental propensities, have a realization which the rest of us haven’t and which upon certain occasions saddens them. This realization came to them in the following manner: A boy called a “fellow” because he happened to be a senior, went about the various rooms in our present horizon obstacle and announced that the foot ball, the basket ball, or the base ball team as the case might be was to play such and such a team on Saturday next and “they” (very indefinite) wanted to get up a special car load of rooters to take along. He entreated and begged in a tearful yet hopeless voice, and if he was lucky enough to strike at the psychological moment and the sympathetic vibrations were correct, the minimum number of martyrs was enlisted and a carload of so called rooters set forth on the pre- determined day to watch our team win the victory. Having arrived at the field or gymnasium our band of martyrs came upon the great and crest felling realization. The rooters for the opposite side were perplexingly different. They were extremely ag- 1 9 1 9 Page seventy-fi ? R O S ? £ CT VS gressive, even to the point of being discourteous and our poor befuddled representatives during the course of the evening learned the meaning of school spirit. Now we have finally beaten all around the bush. All this have we said because we deemed it necessary to lead around to that, to us. very delicate subject, School Spirit. Why is it that when called upon to give the high school yell the average F. H. S. student looks bashful and embarrassed and looks to some one else to do it for him? Well, we believe that there are many reasons. Perhaps the first idea that occurs to us is that there is no unity. About the only thing which we have in common is the FACT that we are students at Flint High School. We do not know our school mates. The students in the various classes know but very few persons in the classes above and below them. Is it true that the members of our rival schools are better acquainted? Yes, it is true. Well, then, what is it we lack that will bring about the desired change? We have no auditorium; we wouldn’t know how to act in chapel. Now of course the Faculty would say that chapel is not for the purpose of developing acquaintances. Of course it isn’t but then such things will happen and we don’t mean to say by any means that attending chapel would be the most important use of an auditorium. Far be it from such. An auditorium removes the financial difficulty of many a good get-together and we haven’t one and won’t have one for several years. At present there are just three occasions when the High School students can assemble and only one of them open to all classes. The Senior-Junior party, the Junior-Senior party, and the Alumni party, the last named being open to all. Even then it is practically the same crowd that always attends. The school is divided and subdivided and there have been rumors of the discontinuance even of the class parties. The students in Flint High School are no worse than those of any other school. Can’t we at least have substitutes for the activities which other schools have? This last year has been somewhat gi'atifying because of the clubs which have sprung up, namely The Thalians and Avonions, The Freshman Dramatic Club, and also the Girls’ Chorus, but then that is but a drop in the bucket. We need more school organiza- tions and social events. The Prospectus staff this year greeted with joy these new organizations and offered space in the book and the costs of engraving to several of them, providing a new section for their bene- fit. Some accepted and are well established, while others not men- tioned tottered on wobbly legs and finally fell. We can do what our rivals have done, and if we don’t know what they do, let’s find out. 1 9 AN OPPORTUNITY We take this opportunity to give credit and thanks to the following people, who, at various times gave valuable help in the making of this book: Miss Lilian Gold, Miss Mary Gold. Mr. J. E. Wellwood, Miss Seymour, Mr. L. S. Parmelee, Helen Draper, June Moore, Leanore Delisle, and Lorene Dawson. Page seventy-six CIRCUIT PICTURI CADETS The Cadet Corps was reorganized at the beginning of the fall term under the following commissioned officers appointed by the faculty: Captain Bruce W. Strong, First Lieutenant Earlmont H. Dill, Second Lieutenant Ralph Garner. The names for the non-commis- sioned officers were submitted to the faculty and approved. They were First Sergeant Daniel Swavely, Second Sergeant Robert Brown, Third Sei-geant Clark Abbot, Fourth Sergeant Sidney Stewart, Fifth Sergeant Chai'les Fowler. Captain Strong had many unusual ideas which were good but only a few could be put into effect this year. The first parade which the Corps took part in was on Thanksgiving Day. This was one of the largest parades ever witnessed in Flint. As soon as the weather became somewhat mild a new form of drill was introduced by Lieutenant George Maines, one of the founders of the F. H. S. C. C. This was bayonet drill. The Cadets took to it instantly and a drill was held during the sixth period of school. The students in the building often (studied?) to the rythmical aahs! of the drillers. Wall scaling and work on the rifle range were contem- plated but sufficient time during week days could not be arranged. ’ 5 «)==== «} . j -(‘3 Page seventy-eight OK CADETS An attempt was made to have the Cadet Corps recognized by the War Department and made into a Reserve Officers Training Corps and the matter was brought up before Mr. Parmelee, Mr. Cody, and the Board of Education but was not put through. A change was desired allowing the Cadets to have a uniform for service wear as well as dress, but this did not mature. An Officers Club was organized con- sisting of the first five officers of each company. The senior officer being the president, second in command, vice-president, and the first sergeant of Company A as secretary-treasurer. The purpose of the club is to strengthen the interest in the Corps. The Cadets acted as escort and guard of honor to Major General Hutchinson, meeting him at the depot where he addressed them, com- mending their spirit. The Corps also marched as an escort and guard of honor to Lieutenant Colonel Guy M. Wilson and the Flint and Genesee County members of the 32nd Red Arrow Division when they returned from overseas on May 21st. This was an unusual privilege and an honor. The Cadets were also called upon for the parade on Memorial Day. We feel sure that this organization will rise to greater popularity and importance than ever before in the coming year due to the impetus gained this year. —M- Page seventy-nine Page eighty ?

R O S P CCTVS BLUE MONDAY From a Teacher’s Point of View The Chemist who discovers the formula which will change Mon- day’s complexion for the school-teaching profession, not only will make himself famous but will receive the blessings perennial of the mighty army of martyrs who have chosen this vocation for their life work. The laundress has Sunny Monday soap with which she lightens her toil on the second day of the week; and she sings as she sorts for her washing-machine, then turns on the current and goes her way as if soiled garments had never existed. The thrifty housewife listens for the music of the school ball and at eight-thirty o’clock as she kisses her children good-bye her heart is light. She gathers the Sunday newspapers into a neat pile, dusts her furniture, and sits down with her sewing. Monday has no terrors for her as she looks forward to her week of rest and recreation after Saturday’s and Sunday’s hub-bub. The merchant hastens to his store with an expectant gait. The advertisements of his Monday bargain counter have deceived even himself for the time being. Cocked hats, damaged goods, drugs in the market, and unsaleable articles have been attractively set forth on the tables and they were never so enticing before. He knows that not even rain will keep away certain feminine customers who love the excitement of pushing, pulling, snatching, and finally purchasing the useless wares they have found alluringly lying before them. Sunday is the doctor’s busy day. His patients, idle in their homes, have time to think of their aches and pains; and nothing can take the place of a call from the faithful family physician who comes to listen patiently to the story he knows so well already; and as he drives from house to house administering sympathy with his potions and pills, he looks forward to Monday as his day of rest and relaxation. And now the lawyer appears on the stage. What has the first working day in store for him? The irregular meals of Sunday; the confusion, the turmoil, the ferment of family intercourse are bound to bring about at least one quarrel to be patched up on Monday. His legal mind revels as he sits in his revolving chair and gives advice to his clients. Bonds of harmony are discovered and welded together; the machinery is oiled, and our barrister has the happy feeling that h? has cheated the devil out of the unholy pleasure he would have en- joyed in another divorce. The minister sits by his study fire smoking the pipe of peace. He has preached forgiveness, brotherly love, thanksgiving, recom- pense twice the day before; and it is for his flock to practice! Blessed be Monday for him! Space forbids one to speak of the automobile repair shops, the barber shops, billiard rooms, plumbing establishments, the warehouses, stalls, places of exchange which gladly throw open their doors on 1 9 1 9 Pasre-Eitrhty-eijrht ? R O S ? CCTVS BLUE MONDAY -CONTINUED Monday morning to reap the almighty dollar which comes easily be- cause of the multitudinous complications and accidents of Sunday. But the school teachers! What of them? It is Blue Monday in- deed! What do they meet? Ignorance; blighted hope; disappointment; vain expectation; suffering; endurance; tolerance and intolerance; (which is worse?) dissatisfaction; regrets; vexation of spirit; heart- burning grief; criticism; grumbling; lamentation; ingratitude; exaspera- tion; dejection; heaviness-of-heart; melancholy; despair; megrims; dumps; impudence; blank despondency; blue devils; slough of despond; non-fulfilment of one’s hopes! And yet. do they mind? A little per- haps. But one is rarely found who wishes to change with the Butcher, the Baker, or the Candlestick Maker; and Gentle Reader, you may rest assured that Blue Monday is in reality blue sky; fair weather, and an embarkation on a pleasant journey. The teachers all know that: “Patience is the pill that cures every ill; Take-Care is the plaster which prevents disaster; And Good-Nature the ointment which soothes disappointment.” M. E. S. G. 1 9 9 Page eighty-nine ? R O S P £ CT S ACROSS THE ATLANTIC ON A TRANSPORT 9 9 The center of interest lay in Camp Mills, Long Island, New York, where the Seventy-third Coast Artillery was mobilized ready for sail- ing overseas. It was nea- ing the bewitching hour and we were all lying around on our packs or gathered around a camp fire telling stories when some- one suggested we have a little excitement; so we started a torch-light parade, headed by the Seventy-third Band. By the time we had covered the greater part of our territory, it was considerably after twelve o’clock; so when we came back to headquarters again every- thing became quiet, awaiting the bugle call to tell us we were “Going Over.” Minute after minute passed, which then seemed like hours or even days, until about three-thirty there cam? out of the distance the shrill sound of a bugle. Then there went up a mighty roar from some three or four thousand men who had been waiting for it since six o’clock that night. After a march of three miles and a quarter, we boarded a train which landed us in New York City at about five-thirty in the morning. From here we boarded a cattle ferry which took us up the Hudson River to the dock where our boat was anchored. We stayed on the dock until about ten o’clock when everything was fixed so we could board the boat, which was the English mail ship, “Scotian.” We spent the rest of the day and until ten o’clock the next morning on board the boat in dock. Then we were towed out into the center of the river so we could go under our own power. We went down the river and out into the bay where four or five large transports were already anchored, and we soon learned that this was the place our convoy was to be made up. Here we stayed several hours. Every now and then a big transport loaded with eager, smiling Yanks pulled up and anchored until there were fifteen in all. Corporal Lang came up on deck where I was standing and said. “Well, I hear we leave at two o’clock, so let’s look her over again.” (I think he was talking about the Statue of Liberty.) About five minutes before two, we just began to realize what system really was, what a great task it was to prepare for the safe convoy of Uncle Sam’s soldiers across the waters, for all of a sudden there came from out of the horizon such a fleet of hydroaeroplanes, battleships, submarines, dirigible and observation balloons, as one never saw or could imagine. Almost simultaneously with the sighting of these, there shot up a gush of smoke from every transport as each lifted anchor and hoisted “Old Glory” on the stern of the boats. As the battleships took their places in and around our boats, we all began to move and the band started to play “Give Me Dixie All the Time.” I should like at this point to describe the sensation of being seasick, but my vocabulary is quite too limited for such description. Although cheated out of the wonderful sensation myself, I was not at all sorry after seeing the effect it had on some of the rest. “Life boat drills,” as they were called were held nearly every day Page ninety ACROSS THE ATLANTIC ON A TRANSPORT-continued and as one never knew whether it was real or simply a drill, it was entered into with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm at first until the novelty wore off. We were obliged to wear our life belts all day and to sleep in them at night during the entire voyage. Our trip over lasted thirteen days out of sight of land, because we took a northerly route coming down between Ireland and Scotland through the North Sea and landing at Liverpool. We were not allowed on the upper decks because it had been badly demolished by a storm which we passed through in the North Sea, so when someone happened to peep through a port hole, which was partly open, he told his “buddy” and the word was soon passed all over. Then we immediately lined up and took our turns looking at “England through the port hole.” As we were nearing dock the next day, Captain Coe, a Chicago lawyer, came up and said, “Well, boys. I wouldn’t have missed that trip for a thousand dollars, and I wouldn’t take another like it for ten thousand.” And, believe me, that was our sentiment exactly. CLIFFORD RICE. Page ninety 1'.'

Yes, it was last night, and such a party. Everyone had the best time—--Uh Huh, it was at the Dryden and the decorating committee sure did themselves justice. They had the entrance hall all cozy with wicker furniture and floor lamps, and you know how the crowd always rushes out there to the punch bowl after every dance, as if they never had seen anything to drink before----Oh, you know the kind of drink I mean------No-o-o-o-o-o---Well------all right, I’ll let it go at that--Yeah-------Then the card room, where they played games, was all festooned with little Christmas bells. They had an enormous Christmas tree against the east wall of the dance hall, just opposite the door you know, and it certainly looked great under the lights---- Oh, yes, they had the lights all shaded and little Christmas bells hung from them-------what’d you say?----Pin?-----Oh! Yes, the boys made a new one and it was hung against the balcony. Yes it was too bad that we lost our first one, but no one thought anything about it as soon as the party began. They started the affair with a grand march---------- It was a scream. Miss Thompson and Mr. Valentine led it and they ended up with a regular snake dance---------What?------No-o-o-o, not M'ss Thompson and Mr. Valentine alone, but the whole bunch. Harry Eiferle acted as ringmaster and he was rich. Oh Lady, it was funny ----1 know it but, my dear, you should have seen hirri last night---- Well it was beyond description. He broke the ice just the way that you break your Mother’s dishes-----Yes, you do-----Someone is trying to break in on this line------Wait a minute--------What did you say Mother?------1 haven’t either-------------Well,-I’m going to talk a few min- utes longer and then I’ll stop-Oh, Mother said that I had been talking over fifteen minutes, but then she talks to Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Black for a half hour at a time. Where was I?----Now I re- member---------------------------------------------------------------Well they had the program next and it certainly was good. Little Nell Roy Buck sang “Wait ’Til the Cows Come Home” and “I’m Sorry Dear” and she was too cute for words. Then Mary Madelon Lamont danced a Sailor’s Hornpipe in costume and she sure is clever on her feet, as Jack would say she “shakes a wicked foot.” Then Peer Williams played a xylophone solo accompanied by Hupert, and Helen Stone and “Gussie” Harris danced in costume the “Skater’s Waltz” and they were awfully good. Reo Williamson gave a reading and later in the evening Miss Gillies and Elizabeth Davison gave several selec- tions on the Irish Harp----Yeah----- Oh, I guess so——Yes, then they danced until twelve and the music was wonderful--------No-----Hupert Williams and “Mugsey” Earle and Hallie Updike played for us---------- Some jazz music, Betty——You surely should have been there------------ Huh?-----I’ll say I am----Three hours about--------Had to get up and help Mother with the housework-----There’s Mother calling to me to stop-----Guess I’ll have to---Call me up later---------Well, all right, Good bye----Oh, Betty! Bob was there and he asked for you------------ You know I do------I’m going to tell him----If you dare-------Well I won’t tell yours if you won’t tell mine--There, Mother is calling me “for absolutely the last time,” she says, so Good-bye--all right----- I will---Good bye. 1 9 1 9 Page ninety-four JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY “Girls isn’t this the greatest fun ever?

What? Well if you must tell Jane all about the party tell it to her quietly. Why didn’t you go any- way, Jane?” “Helen you should have seen Mary----------Jim says that he-------1 don’t care if he comes, I like---.” “If you girls don’t all keep quiet I’ll throw something at you. Just look at all the people watching us because we are sitting irr a box and making such a noise. I wish Eva Fay would hurry up-------1 wonder if she will answer any of our questions----Oh, there she is now.” “Helen Batterson, are you in the audience? Of course you are. You’re in the third box on the right hand side of the house, aren’t vou Helen?” “Yes------My heavens, girls did you hear that?” “You want to know all about the Junior-Senior party. Well Helen, the Juniors gave the Seniors a mighty nice party in my estimation. Yes, they did now. The affair was given in the Dryden Hall and it was made very pretty with flowers, I think,-------------yes, it was with spring flowers in tall baskets that stood around the room, and they used lots of green plants------------palms they were. Let me see--------They served punch in the hall, didn’t they? Yes, they did now and they had a program too. The first thing I see is a girl giving a reading. Now don’t tell me her name------------It was Beucking, Wanita Beucking wasn’t it? Then someone sang, let me see----a Miss MacLean and a Mr. Evans, and in my judgment they showed talent and training. Now I see a spotlight with two people dancing. Their names are Reo Williamson and Lester Eldridge and their dance seems to be received well. It is a society dance, isn’t it? Yes, it is now, and there is a boy named Hupert, Hupert Williams, that is accompanying them. Now 1 see a girl in fancy costume doing an asthetic and her name is Helen Stone. She has a lady to accompany her, a Miss Brandsteader. It is a very graceful dance and well done. Now they are all dancing and having such a good time. It was a lovely party wasn’t it? Yes it was now, and I am sure that if you take my advice you will go to all the parties that are as nice as that one. ----What time did it stop? Well it seems to me that it was supposed to stop at twelve, but as I see the hands of the clock, they read one when the dancing is over and the orchestra plays “Home, Sweet Home.” It was good music. Yes, it was; very good music. It belonged to Bill, Bill Mills, that’s his name. Yes, he furnished the orchestra. I can see a good time for everyone that was there, and you had a good time didn’t you, Helen? Of course you did. Now I would advise you to go to all the parties with a different boy, Helen, if you can. You are too young to settle down with one and only one. Try them all.” “Girls did you hear all that? Say, I feel as limp as an oyster. Have I a worn and haggard appearance?” “You look sort of flabbergasted, Helen, but aside from that, when you put a dab of powder on your nose and give your hair a pat here and there, you’ll be perfectly natural. Well come on let’s all go down to Mercer’s' and get a Bittersweet. I need something to bring me back to earth again.” 1 9 I 9 1 Page ninety-five ?ROS?CCTVS SENIOR SLEIGH-RIDE Monday it snowed! Tuesday it snowed! Wednesday it snowed, and Thursday someone had a bright idea. Why not a Senior sleigh- ride!!! Well, if we had one it would have to be that night ’cause the snow wouldn’t last much longer, so “toot sweet” everybody began rush- ing about making plans. Oh, such a flurry! What difference did it make if the Seniors were rather inattentive in classes, and if whispers of “will you bring pickles or sandwiches?” were to be heard in the most orderly study room, since by noon Irma Vantine had offered her home, the bobs were hired, the girls had arranged for the eats and Misses Lyons, Gifford, and Sheik had consented to play the chaperone roles. At six o’clock two packed bobs started gaily forth on their journey to Davison, but alack and alas, the day had been mild and the snow was very thin indeed, so it was necessary to enlist the services of a wagon to complete the distance. But such trifles were nothing in the lives of the Seniors and they had a very gay time when they finally reached their destination. And Oh, how they ate, did someone hint that Ducky Holmes got more than his share going out? Oh, well, there was enough for everyone anyway. After spending the evening in games, music and dancing it was very sensibly decided to return safe and sound on the dear old Grand Trunk, owing to the condition of the roads. So at twelve o’clock they left, with a vote of thanks to Irma and Mrs. Vantine for the best sleigh-ride party ever. A SKETCH OF THE SENIOR PLAY “Hello Folks, am I late?” “Late! You were never known to be on time for rehearsal Gay- ton, but where are Jimmie, and Lorene and all the rest?” “I don’t know, Bruce. I saw Jimmie and Lorence in at Mercer’s when I came along, and Russ said that he would have to be late for he had to walk home with Reo Brownell first, and Bill Hibbard can’t come because he has to work, and John Pontius is on the way somewhere.” “Well I think that it is a shame that they all can’t get here on time. Mrs. Eldridge gives up HER time to make this a success and we don’t a one of us help her any. It will be due to her, and her only if this turns out the way it should. She deserves a vote of thanks and a crown of glory for doing this for us and I say that we ought to give it to her.” “I know it but here come all the rest and now we can settle down to business.” “Hello everybody. Good afternoon Mrs. Eldridge.” “Where have you been Jimmie?” “I had to stay after school.” “I know better. . . . Come now tell me. . . . Now boys and girls if this doesn’t ‘get across.’ to use a very vulgar expression, it will be your own fault.

It is a comedy and will be a huge success if you will only get down to work. In the first place the story is exceedingly amusing. The heroine, Lydia Languish, is such a love-sick, languishing individual and her trials in trying to keep her various suitors straight and at the same time escape her aunt’s vigilance are excruciatingly funny. She is a very good character and I want to say right now that all of you are splendidly fitted for your parts and are well cast. Captain’ Absolute is a typical lover, trying to win his lady love under an assumed name and being successful, trying to get out of the dilemma he has so inadvertently stepped into and at the same time meat with his father’s demands. The father is a fine character and is as human as can be. He only mixes things up and then tries to straighten tham out and in so doing' makes matters all the worse. Mrs. Malaprop is the killingly funny character in the play and she and Bob Acres are the foils for all the others’ witticisms. Her ‘choice derangements of epitaphs’ is rare and Bob is such a blustering, blithering simpleton. Lucy, the maid, and Sir Lucius O’Trigger are both good characters and further complicate the plot, one by deceiving for her own advantage; and the other by believing the wrong person in love with him. The sub- iove story of Julia and Faulkland furnishes a clever contrast to the other love plot and adds to the general interest. The servants through- out the entire play are so human that they are characters in themselves, and furnish the necessary leavening quality. Now if you want to get down to work it will be splendid and will be a great success but if you don’t it will fall flat. Come now, let’s all get busy. . . . First act. . . . Lydia on stage. . . .

Pace ninety-seven PROSPECTUS Ci as: POEM How dark the queer-shaped object seemsd. Which we with greatest awe esteemed, The long and narrow gruesome hall Was not inviting us at all, As up the stairs our Freshmen class With hopeful cheerful hearts did pass But when we reached our session-room Our joy was turned to deepest gloom. On every side huge forms appeared, At all our hopes and fears they jeered On every horrid monster’s head A queer and dreadful name we read Grim Euclid’s awful foim came first And to approach him no one durst. Around his face hung snake-like hair And from his nostrils came hot air, Close by him stood Fythagoras With wicked joy he grinned at us, To see us tremble in despair. We could not overcome this pair Their giant figures swelling high As filled with terror we drew nigh. Behind them stood an eagle fierce. And this was Caesar who had pierced So many with his brazen spear. And now he drew from us a tear, Because of fear at his great strength And awful claws of such a length. Close by him coiled a monstrous snake Most desperate plunges did he take And deadly poison at us flung With terrifying five-forked tongue While on his wrinkled forehead low We read the name of Cicero. The foim of Dalton stood aside A man we all believed had died, But here he was on earth once more To teach us all his science lore. His pointed horns and mammoth ears Aroused within us dreadful fears. Between his horns hung grisly locks Which hid his forehead hard' as rocks. While odors vile came with his breath, To us they seemed much worse than death. Beside him ugly Ampere crouched On simply seeing us he grouched. His dragon foim was worse than all Before him all of us must fall. Around about those monsters dread Were little barking dogs ill-bred, And every time they had a chance Those little beasts they made us dance By always nipping at our feet And often making us retreat. A few of us did flee away Who dared not enter in the fray. Another few were put to flight Too dull and lazy they to fight, Page ninety-eight ?ROS?CCTOS CLASS POEM -CONTINUED And others still were kept in place By those who helped them in the race But most of us toiled very late To overcome these monsters great, As long and hard the battle raged Those beings getting more enraged As time went on and still we fought And surely was their strength o’er wrought And victory within our sight Did shed on us blessed light. But many drear and weary hours Before a victory sure was ours Were spent in fighting long and hard Those giants huge and dogs on guard. Till finally all their strength was drained And we a mighty triumph gained. From every fight had come some good Till strong and true at last we stood And all were ready now to work For Uncle Sam, and not to shirk. And then we cast a backward glance Which almost plunged us in a trance For lo, a change had taken place The marks of battle were effaced. Tall Euclid stood a handsome lad His face did seem a little sad. But on Pythagoras he beamed Who now a kind old fellow seemed. But Caesar stood, a warrior bold, He held a shining spear of gold. His eyes retained their eagle look And yet all fear from us they took So full of kindness were they filled Since we had rightly now been drilled, And Cicero seemed a gay old gent His shoulders were a little bent Though partly covered with his hair Which hung in lovely waves so fair. While Dalton grave and Ampere kind Made great impressions on our mind So tall and stately in the crowd With manly beauty well endowed. Instead of dogs, were fairies sweet With tiny, dainty, little feet; Their long and lovely golden curls Their cherry lips disclosing pearls Made pictures sweet of beauty rare. Their charming childish faces fair Were lighted up with deep blue eyes, The color of the summer skies. With perfect wonder then we gazed Our very senses seemed all dazed And greatly did we wish to stay To spend with them some time in play. But with lifted hands they blessed us all And then they sent us from the hall. —FRANCIS WILLARD STEWART. Page ninety-nine A TUI Memo Et ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The election of officers for the Athletic Association was held in February as is the custom. The exact date being the fourteenth. There was but little excitement and the retiring officers were soon able to give the results which were as follows: Walter Love, president; Alletta Newcombe, vice-president, and Foster Rosier, secretary-treasurer. These three seemed greatly interested in their new jobs and assisted by the three faculty members, Mr. Valentine, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Thomas, put across some unusual stunts even before the “Prospectus” went to press. Papre one hundred two FOOTBALL ? R O S P C CTtlS FOOTBALL OWOSSO 0-—FLINT 25 The first game of the season opened with Owosso as our op- ponents and we naturally gave them a terrible beating. There was a large student body pres- ent and the team showed the students some real football. The backfield showed some real form and tore large holes through the forward walls of Owosso. The triumvirate, John- son, McClellan, and Holmes gave Owosso the greatest trouble and these three played a fine game. GRAND RAPIDS 6—FLINT 0 The first road trip of the team took them to Grand Rap- ids to battle a strong team. They were supposed to be mid- gets, but were found to be some strapping fellows. Hi showed them a real football game and - ■ n ij u i should have won, but it was Gaptain Donald Holmes merely our game and they re- ceived the verdict. The line opened big holes for the backs and Johnson made some long games, ar.d as a unit the team worked to perfection.

They showed them- selves poor sports, however, and we had to beat them to a finish so they would go home sure that we were superior. Schultz, Eiferle, and Decker opened good holes for the backs and with Holmes and Johnson playing great games, the team found very little aggressions on Bay City’s part. SAGINAW 13—FLINT 0 Central journeyed to Saginaw confident of a victoi'y but emerged far from her expectation. It was a very fast game, and through lucky forward passing they received the victory. The backfield worked hard but suffered the loss of Holmes, laid up with a crippled hand; we gained more ground than Saginaw, but we took our defeat gra- ciously and left for Flint. DETROIT NORTHERN 16—FLINT 12 On Thanksgiving Day Detroit Northern came and gave us battle, it was some battle and we can assure Northern that it was not better football that beat us, it was merely lucky circumstances and flukes. Johnson showed seme real class and gave promise of becoming a h;gh class player. His presence will be needed next year, and he has two more years at Hi. The line worked in unison and Schultz and Eiferle broke up some passes and stopped up many holes. This game was the last appearance of Holmes, Schultz, Cooper, and Eiferle, as they graduate in June.

We promptly recognize the fact and ably defeat the team to the tune of fifty to three. M. S. D. 22—F. H. S. 38 Our next game found as our opponents the Silent Institute. Our team played nobly and gave them a good beating. Martin. Love, and Ferguson, playing in great form, were hard to beat in any game. U. OF DETROIT HI 17—F. H. S. 12 Unfortunately University of Detroit Hi came next and administered a beating to our five. It was a hard fought game and also a hard one to lose. Capt. Walter Love SAGINAW EASTERN 27—F. H. S. 24 Our first Valley game came with a defeat. The team played splendidly but fate gave Eastern the game. Ferguson, Love, and Mar- tin played air-tight ball and showed good form. ARTHUR HILL 24—F. H. S. 36 Our men by this time were really angry as two defeats were on our list, so we took revenge on Arthur Hill, by a substantial margin. Martin and Love played good basketball and much credit is due to them for the winning of the game. BAY CITY WEST 34—F. H. S .20 Western lured us to Bay City and gave us inglorious defeat, but we took it bravely and fought hard. More about Western will be told later.. Patre one hundred eight Eastern seemed to inherit the spirit of her sister school and gave us a trimming. It was a hard fought game each point being won only after a huge effort. ARTHUR HILL 19—F. H. S. 28 Arthur Hill seemed to be “fish” for our basketballers and we reiterated a past performance by another defeat at our hand. Martin, the so-called midget, proved to have lots of pep, and forced the game to a successful outcome, by running through the Hill fellow’s legs. U. OF DETROIT 25—F. H. S. 24 If there is anything in basketball that is a mishap, it is losing by one point. This horrible fate was ours. Our fellows put up stub- born defense and fought very hard but one point proved our Nemesis. 1 3 1 3 SAGINAW EAST 27—F. H. S. 22 Again we found Saginaw Eastern our opponents, and demanded justice for our defeat at their hands, but after the melee was over, Eastern was found to have a five-point margin again. Hard luck. BAY CITY WEST 20—F. H. S. 28 Here is our narrative of the best game of the season and a con- gratulatory message for the five who so nobly beat Western. It was said that jack Re:gle was spurred by a certain girl’s presence in the balcony. This no doubt had some truth in it. Mr. Martin also was keen on a certain “ctillud” lady. BAY CITY EAST 23-F. H. S. 15 We returned to Bay City and found them with blood in their eyes, we defeated their rival school, and after putting us on a two-by-four floor were able to say, without a great deal of loudness, that they de- feated us. HIGHLAND PARK 18—F. H. S. 16 Our journey to Highland Fark gave us a surprising defeat of two points, but much of the blame for the loss of this game can be laid to Martin, as it was said he was stewed on some Near Beer on Wood- ward Ave. 1 9 1 9 PT. HURON 20—F. H. S. 28 Our coach’s brother brought his aggregation down to our village only to have h:s brother beat him, but it can be said that it was a hard fought game all the way. PT. HURON 38—F. H. S. 14 Pt. Huron invited us to a return match and circumstances and the team showed that they believed in the old proverb, “Give what you take,” as they slipped us the short end of the score. ALUMNI 16—F. H. S. 21 Our last game made us happy, regardless of our previous defeats, because we managed to wipe out our former classmates in a whirl- wind game. This game was hard contested and the fellows did nobly in securing the score. NEGAUNEE 27—F. H. S. 19 We took a trip to Lansing, for the interscholastic basketball games, and met Negaunee who proved to have a big, fast aggregation and we suffered defeat. Negaunee proved to have a fast bunch and secured a couple of berths on the all-state team. i Papre one hundred nine BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM ?

H. S. 14—Dort 6 Jan. 10, F. H. S. girls appeared for their first game, meeting Dort High at the Y. M. C. A. Flint had but two veterans in the line-up, Olive Bunce, guard, and Myrtle Gillespie, jumping center. The game was rather one-sided, Dort girls being mere dwarfs beside our massive guards, Bunce and Charlotte King. Evelyn Davis, who appeared for the first time in High School athletics, proved to be a fast and prom- ising side-center. Coach Baker tried out the four competitors for forwards in this game. Leona Coupland, who had been practicing guard was persuaded in the practice before the game to enter the race for forward with Mildred Witherold—which worked out well for beginners. Ruth Goff and Etta Wolverton entered the game as for- wards in the last quarter. F. H. S. 32—M. S. D. 12. F. H. S. met M. S. D. at the Y. M. C. A. on Jan. 17. M. S. D. true to tradition were fast players but no match to the Central team which had much improved since the previous game. Team work was one of the noticeable features of our team. Coupland did most of the scoring for the first three quarters, when Bunce moved to forward in Witherold’s place, and boosted the score by six points. F. H. S. 10—Saginaw Eastern 6. F. H. S. girls met their first Saginaw Valley team Jan. 24 in the form of Saginaw Eastern at the Y. M. C. A. This proved to be a close and rough contest with Saginaw, who were apparently unfamil- iar with several essential rules. The first half ended 4-2 in Saginaw’s favor; but much to our satisfaction, Flint put up a still harder de- fense and ran its score to 10, leaving Saginaw with but 6 at the sounding of the final whistle. 1 9 1 9 F. H. S. 5-Arthur Hill 14 Jan. 31 found F. H. S. girls journeying to Saginaw to meet Arthur Hill. This was a slow and unexciting game, except for the fact that Arthur Hill really won a game and from the team to which Saginaw Eastern had been a victim but a week before. Flint was out of luck, not gaining entrance to the gym. until nearly ten o’clock and then unable to get in any team work. F. H. S. 2—East Lansing 3. Flint High girls met East Lansing at East Lansing February 7. Flint’s line-up was severely broken with the absence of Olive Bunce; Bernice Cobb, who did creditable work, took her place. Lansing’s team was well trained and right at home on its small floor, which was a menace to Charlotte King’s long and thrilling balls. Papre one hundred twelve F. H. S. 32—Arthur Hill 4 Flint girls rallied courageously from two successive defeats and came across with a victory of 32-4 at the Y, Feb. 14. Arthur Hill, its former rival, being its victim. Much credit for the victory was due to the excellent team work and several changes in the line-up. Bunce moved from right guard to right forward; Gwendolyn Trees, taking her place as guard, and Hildred Rumbold as jumping center. This left but three positions the same, King, left guard, Davis side center, and Coupland left forward. F. H. S. 7—Saginaw Eastern 25. The Flint girls appeared on Saginaw Eastern’s floor, Feb. 28. The game was fast but roughness proved to be the defeating factor. Flint put up a good defense, in spite of the loss of the regular guard, Gwendolyn Trees; Bernice Cobb taking her place. F. H. S. 33—Holly 13. Holly High School girls ventured to Flint March 7 only to receive a good defeat of 33-13. The game began late, and was very slow with Flint always far in the lead. F. H. S. 12—Monroe 23. Flint girls went to Monroe, March 14. The game was fast and in- teresting, but Flint failed to get in its usual team work. The third quarter—after a discussion on team work between halves, Flint got down to business and showed some real team work, but just for a short time. F. H. S. 33—East Lansing 42. Flint girls team appeared for its first defeat on its home floor, March 21, when it met East Lansing in a return game. Bunce for Flint and M. King for Lansing, were the star basket shooters. It was one of the best games witnessed this season, as Flint showed up creditable work against this champion team. F. H. S. Boys 20—F. H. S. Girls 11. The boys’ team met the girls’ team at the Y. W. C. A. March 26, in a fast and amusing game. The boys had a hard time getting used to the girl’s rules—over the line and holding, being the menace. At the beginning of the third quarter, the score was 10-13, in the boys’ favor. King and Trees played a fast game against Love and Martin, but size and high jumping proved to be the defeating factor. 1 9 1 9 Papre one hundred thirteen BASKETBALL TEAM Baseball again becomes the major sport and finds us with lots of material to begin the season. Maurice Flynn is act- ing captain and with new suits to begin with, we feel as though we might have a successful sea- son. BAY CITY WESTERN 4— FLINT 7 We journeyed for the first game to Bay City and to the suprise of all administered th:m a sound beating. Bean pitched and seemed to fool them, as many of them wasted strength upon the air. Some good field- ing was done by the team and everyone showed up in good form. Capt. Donald Holmes Arthur Hi.l 2—Flint 15 Arthur Hill journies to Flint and finds they are against a band of professionals, (after looking over the score). Ferguson was in good form and pitched air tight ball, until the 7th inning when he weakened and let in a couple of runs. The team worked well and seemed to por- tray a furtherance of a successful season. Arihur Hill 12—Flint 7. We journeyed to Saginaw confident of another victory, but cold vylather and numerous errors, gave us the short end of the score. Fe gueon was wild and not effective in pinches, and this was respon- sible for a large score. Holmes secured a home run and Cooper se- cured a triple. SAGINAW 13—FLINT 8 We journeyed to Saginaw, and expected to win, but came away with a defeat. rI his was a hard fought game and harder to lose. Ferguson and Wells were the batteries, Martin and Flynn were the stars of the day, both securing three hits. BAY CITY WESTERN 8—FLINT 5 Bay City came to Flint and took away our hopes of a victory. Ferguson and Craig were the battery, Ferguson pitched good ball but poor fielding spoilt our chances. As usual Martin was the heavy hitter, securing three hits out of four trips to the plate. Page one hundred sixteen BASEBALL TEAM -JL_ PROSPECTUS 3 1 9 J THALIAN HONORARY LITERARY CLUB The Thalian Honorary Literary Club of Flint High School came into existence April 17, 1918, under a constitution drawn up at the first meeting with Miss Marjory Todd as chairman. The purpose of the club is to encourage public speaking and the reading of good literature. The membership is limited to twenty-five chosen each year by the club from the students of all the English classes upon the recom- mendation of their teachers and of the patroness, Miss Owen. In its first year the club will include only Freshmen and Sophomores, but when it has reached its fourth year it will contain members from all grades, thus making it a perpetual organization. The meetings are held every other Wednesday after school in Room B. After the business meeting a program is given consisting of talks, book reports, extemporaneous speeches, etc. A number of books selected by the program committee have been studied and from these both enjoyment and benefit have been realized. The Club has been corresponding with one of its original members who has moved away and also with a literary society of Saginaw High School. The members look forward to the time when Thalian will prove her motto true. “In good fellowship and united effort there must be progression.

They did not talk in high flown language, or speak of lofty motives, but simply agreed that if a small number of congenial spirits could meet regularly and read the plays of the world’s greatest dramatist, the members of such a club would receive an improving pleasure wh'ch would be a satisfaction to them all their lives. Accordingly, a general invitation was issued to the girls of the upper classes who were interested in the idea to attend such a meeting. This meeting was successful and resulted in the club now known as the Avonians. Since that time, meetings have been held bi-weekly with no interruptions except the semester exami- nations. There are about twenty-five active members, Miss Mary Gold presiding as an honorary member. Her interesting and helpful suggestions inspire each person to become better acquainted with the works of Shakespeare and it is with pleasant anticipation that each meeting is awaited. As there is very little official business to be at- tended to, we have only one officer, Dorothy Winchester, who acts as secretary. A small committee is assigned at each meeting for the purpose of d’stributing the characters of the plays among the members of the club, and also to choose critics upon pronunciation and reading. It is the hope of all those who belong to this organization that it will live as lor.g as the plays upon which it is based are bound to live.

Plays from Dickens were resurrected and the club is now studying them. The members seem to be taking quite an interest in this line of work and they hope to make something of these sketches from Dickens. The members of this club are made up of students of the last half Freshmen and first half Sophomore years but later it is to be a higher class organization also. As these students who are in today become Juniors and Seniors, they will still belong to the club. The members are chosen from their excellent standings in Eng- lish and in that way. any one who wishes to belong may do so if he has the right stuff in him to work. Perhaps a little later the club will be known to the higher classes, but it is doing very well for the short time that it has been organized. 1 9 9 Page one hundred twenty-four ?ROSPCCTl S FLSfNIT HIGH SCHOOL SONG O.

CCTVS THE MUSICAL CLUBS George Oscar Bowen Director THE CHORUS The High School Chorus, which was organized at the opening of the fall term in September, 1917, has already become one of the de- pendable units of the school life. Membership to the Chorus is elective, any student in the school being eligible who possesses at least a fair voice. The Chorus numbers this year nearly four hundred members, all of whom are receiving credit for their work toward their graduation. The Chorus gave a mid-year concert in the Masonic Temple early in February, the proceeds of which were turned over to the Junior Red Cross. Preparations are now being made for the spring concert at which time Gade’s “Fair Ellen,” together with several part songs and special solo numbers will make up the programs. The activities of the Chorus cannot be too highly estimated when considered from a school standpoint. Meeting twice each week, and the only body of any considerable size which does have regular meet- ings, the Chorus aids very materially in building up and maintaining a school spirit.

If enthusiastic spirit and real quality of material are of any value then this group of girls should produce some excellent results. The objective which has been set up is the study of music of a little higher calibre than may be used by the much larger chorus group. Public performance is not necessarily one of the objectives, but undoubtedly the girls will be called upon many times to provide interesting entertainment for different school functions. The member- ship is limited to fifty, each girl being selected because of her musical qualifications, both as to voice and knowledge of fundamental music. There is already a waiting list. 1 9 9 i Papre one hundred twenty-six ? R © S ? £ CTtJS THE MUSICAL CLUBS-cont,nUEd THE ORCHESTRA Harold Allen President Sam Nock -...........................

Three new members have been added and as time goes on and the Orchestra begins to demonstrate its ability and real worth undoubtedly other musicians in the school will rally to its support. Among the objects of the Orchestra is not included the ambition to produce what is known as a “Jazz Band.” Sounds produced by such an organization cannot be classed as music, and certainly it is not educational. When the musical activities of the public schools cease to be educational they should be abolished. The Orchestra does not aspire to the height of a symphonic organization, but will be content to play music of a good quality, simple enough to be mastered and rendered in a musicianly way. Members of the High School Orchestra, as they gain proficiency through experience, will be recommended for membership in the adult Community Orchestra, where their talents may have a larger and wider range of development. Rehearsals are held every Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 4:30 o’clock. Credit is given for this work toward graduation. 1 9 1 9 THE FLINT HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION This is an organization which has been established for over thirty years and consists of all the graduates of the school during that time. Its purpose is to bring the graduates together and promote friendship among them. A party is given every year to the graduating class by the Alumni at which time a business meeting is held to elect officers for the following year. This year the party was held at the Masonic Temple on Wednesday evening, June 18, commencing at nine o’clock. The music was furnished by Ferneau’s orchestra.

Raimond’s mother has expressed her gratitude for this help in the following words: Je vous expedie une photographic et en meme temps je vous remercie beaucoup.

M. C. A. for luncheon and after presentation of the plan and purpose of the Hi-Y Clubs, these fellows unanimously adopted the plan and organized a Senior Hi-Y Club which has met each week, enjoying fellowship around the table and the many inspiring and instructive talks given by the speakers, repre- senting men of professional and business life. The Senior Hi-Y Club has now a membership of 55 and for the 12 meetings held up to March 1st. there has been an attendance of 434. The officers of the Senior Hi-Y Club are: Hupert Williams, President; Gayton Newcombe, Vice- President; James Rice, Secretary and Treasurer. Four committees are organized with three men serving on each. The slogan for the Senior Hi-Y Club is “An Older Boys’ High School Club on the Square.” 1 9 1 9 The Junior Hi-Y Club, comprising a membership of 74 Freshmen and Sophomores of this High School, meet weekly at the Y. M. C. A. for luncheon, also enjoying sociability and hearing men of prominence from the professional and business world. This Club organized on Wednesday, October 16th, with an initial membership of 21. For the 12 meetings held 436 fellows have attended. The officers are: Dwight Meddaugh, President; Ralph Button, Vice-President, and Ronald Buck, Treasurer and Secretary. Twenty-six fellows of the club have ren- dered very definite committee service in promoting activities of an all- around nature. This club has for its slogan “A High School Club with Pep.” The Hi-Y Clubs’ plan and purpose has been and is “to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high stand- ards of Christian character.” also a purpose “to increase efficiency among all fellows in the Flint High School for a larger service for God and country.” Here’s an eye opener—For the 24 meetings of the Hi-Y Clubs held for the fellows of the Flint High School there has been a total attendance of 870 to March 1st, 1919. Be a loyal Hi-Y-ite and Back a Real Club. Pape one hundred tweniy-eipht ? R O S P CCTVS SLIPS—YELLOW AND OTHERWISE. Slips of high school days are many; Yellow mostly, sometimes white. Each a separate meaning bearing, Recognized by all at sight. Yellow means you’re kind of sleepy Mean’s you’re feeling rather punk, About your lessons rather hazy, Then it means your going to flunk. Nor are all just made of paper, And of this we’re well aware; For the worst are little tongue slips, And the slips upon the stair. J Getting It. Two American Negro soldiers were discussing musical instruments. “Yar,” said one, “I’se gwine ter git me a eucaliptis.” “A what?” queried the other. “A eucaliptis—dat’s a musical instrument, fool.” “Go on, nigger! You can’t kid me—dat’s one of de books ob de Bible.” During “Flu” Epidemic. Mr. Valentine to girls coming in room wearing face masks. “What do you think this is, a halloween party?” In Room P. “Ducky”—Holding his mask above his eyes leaving the bottom loose, looking at his book as if studying. Miss Seymour—“You understand Mr. Holmes, these are not for draperies only. After Our “Flu” Vacation. E. Dill—“Miss Coupland have you seen anyone in my desk?” L. C.—“No, your desk is too small for any of us to get into.” Fisherman’s Luck. A minister, with two lovely girls, stood entranced by the beauties of a flowing stream. A fisherman happening by, and mistaking the minister’s occupation, said: “Ketchin many, pard?” “I am a fisher of men,” answered the preacher with dignity. “Well,” replied the fisherman, with an admiring glance at the girls, “you sure have the right bait.” Customer—I want to look at some hankerchiefs. “Ducky” Holmes—Want your address on them? (meaning initials.) A professor both prim and sedate has behaved in a manner most frantic. He leaned on the rail in the teeth of a gale and contributed to the Atlantic. Voice in back of room, “What’s the joke?” Sam’l does yo mean to say he am absent minded? Am he absent minded? Why dis mornin he poured de syrup on his ankle and scratched his pancake. “Bluffing is not trying to tell something you don’t know, but it is gathering together every little thing you do know and finding out you know something you didn’t know you knew.” 1 9 1 9 One hundred thirty ?ROS?CCTVS Mrs. Martin— David, what’s this ‘60’ on your report card?” Dave—“I—I think that’s the temperature of the session room.” Unappreciative. “Ah,” said Isabella romantically: “See the little cloudlet, In the azure sky let. Skipping like a birdlet, Skimming: o’er the lea.” “Ah,” answered small sister disgustedly, “you po out in the back yardlet, behind the barnlet, and soak your'headlet under the pumplet.” Brutus—“Hello, Caesar, how many egrgrs did you eat for break- fast?” Caesar—“Et tu, Brute.” We Would Say So. “Why is a pancake like the sun?” “Because,” said the Swede, “it rises out of de yeast and sets be- hind der vest.” Barber—“Want a hair cut?” Sterling Miller—“Oh, I don’t want to show any partiality: cut em all.” Senior—“Do you know why the leaves on the trees turn red in the autumn?” Junior—“No; why?” Senior—“They blush to think how green they have been all summer.” R. Williamson—In (Eng. Lit. Class) Was Kipling very popular before his death. Miss Veit—“I’m sure I can’t tell you.” (Loud laughter in room). Then They Canned Him. Customer—“Where will I find the Candelabra?” New Floorman “All canned goods are in the grocery depart- ment on the fourth floor.” Dave Martin on tour of school for jokes. Miss Bidwell, have you any jokes I can have for the “ pectus?” Miss Bidwell—Yes, I have two hundred and thirty-three, may have. (Meaning her students.) Dave Martin—Write them down please. Pros- you Miss Bidwell in Algebra Class. Now has every one got their problems right, Mr. Nutt, have you’ J. Nutt—Do you mean me? Miss Bidwell—Aren’t you the only nut in the room? Heard in the girl’s dressing room after the boys-girls game. Coach Baker—Mr. Myers said it took the boys longer to get dressed and they primped more for this game than any other of the season. Hildred R.—I could just feel “Ferguson holding Rumbold.” my face turn red when Baker said: Wasn’t it nice of Ferguson not to jump against Hildred? Weren’t they polite? Every time one of them stepped on me or banged into me they begged my pardon. ?ROS?£CTVS Guen—Lovie asked me if the girls shook hands before the game! Lovie and Martin sure acted as if they were really exicted when they ran up the ladder to put the ball in the basket.—They would be good movie actors. Wasn’t it funny how they got so hot, and took off their heavy sweaters every little while and then put them on again soon after? They must have been hot with them on—so of course we couldn’t blame them! They all did their share of holding—but of course it was natural and hard to refrain from—even in public with such chances! Didn’t Evelyn and Ferguson look like Mutt and Jeff when they had to jump Evelyn’s face sure was a deep rouge. Cooper and Coupland made the bright light in the game—both red heads. Little Doc—“Our birthstones are supposed to control our des- tinies. What is your birthstone”? Clark Perry—“Judging from my experience I think mine is a brickbat.” (Algebra 111. no doubt). Helen Batterson—“I told Bronson he couldn’t see me any more.” H. Stewart—“What did he do”? H. B.—“Got up and turned out the gas.” Reo Brownell—“Oh Russell, as she gurgled happily and cuddled close, “I wonder how any one could say that absense makes a heart grow fonder? R. Roberts—“I guess that means the absence of the third party. Where is the best place to hold the world’s fair? We should think around the waist. Liela Ames (In Com. Arith.)—Well Miss Lee is 350 the correct answer? Miss Lee—Yes. Liela Ames-—That looks awful big to me! Miss Lee—Oh, you’ll grow. Miss Gold—(In ancient history class) It is said that Alexandar the Greek ate the rations of a common soldier when on a campaign. Freshman—And did the poor soldiers get nothing. A Sea Change. “Why did you take these fish from the aquarium?” “Because I was afraid the turtle might eat them.” “Why, there is no turtle in there.” “Well Johnnie, put his boat in the aquarium and daddy said it turned turtle.” He is a Dictator. Booth Tarkington tells of an old colored man who appeared as a witness before one of our committees. In the course of his ex- amination these questions were put to the men. “What is your name?” “Calhoun Clay, sah.” “Can you sign your name?” “Sah?” “I ask if you can write your name.” “Well, no, sah. Ah nebber writes ma name. Ah dictates it sah.” 9 9 One hundred thirty-four ? R O S P C€T S J 1 9 “Oh, listen! Aren’t those wedding bells”? “No, No; those are only lemon peals.” No Use In That. Last summer when so many boys were helping farmers, one boy willing and eager to help but wholly unacquainted with farm work, was assigned to a farmer who was careless in giving directions. One day, he told the boy to “grease the wagon.” An hour later the boy came in and said: I’ve greased every part of the wagon except the sticks that the wheels turn on, I didn’t bother with them, they don’t show much.” An Episode from “Hamlet” as written by Harry Eiferle. (Supplying a Long-Lost Scene between Laertes and His Best Girl after the Death of Polonious.) Best Girl—How dost thou, Laertes? Laertes—Fair maiden, I fare well in anger. Best Girl—How now? Laertes-—Methinks my father has too much of steel. Best Girl—Fain would I believe it. Laertes—’Tis too much too true for my own sorrow. Best Girl—But shed thy coat of mourning. Laertes—As it is, I am too much in anger with the cursed vil- lain who calls himself King. But now, Best Girl, wouldst thou fare well and be my wife? Best Girl-—As it was written, so shall it be. (They embrace.) Laertes—Fare thee well, sweet maiden. Best Girl—(Always the last word) To thou the flight of fortune fill thy purse. (Exit.) THE SCHOOL BLACKSMITH. (With apologies to Longfellow) Under the Trigonometry The faithful John E. stood Trying with all his verbal might To pierce our blocks of wood. He struggled for many a minute long And was finally heard to moan, “I knew their heads were blocks of wood And I guess they are creodome.” Twenty thousand pairs of arm:; That beat the frantic air Twenty thousand pairs of eyes That gleam and glare. Twenty thousand voices wild that Scream and yell and swear Football—that’s all. Above Him. She held herself above him, But it didn’t please the chap, For he knew that she must love him, When she sat upon his lap. George—Do you know that last nite I could hardly keep from kissing you? Aletta—Did you never hear that “the thought of today is the action of tomorrow.” 1 9 1 9 i I. Johnson—I dreamed last night I was married. Fat Eiferle—Were you happy? “Red”—When I woke up. One hundred thirty-five ?ROS?CCTVS HISTORICAL HYSTERIA. Effusive England— “England as a whole slops towards the continent.” As always— “The Franks were a young and fresh tribe.” “The Northmen were a wandering, squandering people who went about in little boats called Vikings.” How sassy— “Elizabeth could speak Latin and French fluently and could answer back in Greek.” Style was everything in those days— “The Parliamentarians were called round heads because they wore their hair short, and those in favor of the king were called Cavilliars for they wore their hair long.” Close shave that— “Usually the top of a Monk’s head was shaved off leaving a sort of ruffle about the face and neck.” 1 9 1 9 Cruel— “When a person disobeys the rules of the church, he is excom- municated, that is he is looked upon as a rude person.” The Rhone River flows thru Palastine and empties into the Mediterranean Sea.” New Style Chronology— “It was at the end of the fifth centui’y that Charlemogne be- came emperor. And after he was crowned he sure was one of the most important kings of the time for as he traveled through the country he established religious rights with the people. The date was 800.” American influence in Europe— “Wilson’s appearance in London, Paris, Rome and other towns gave the masses a different light. They began to see him as a miracle. He was regarded in a spiritual way and by his appearance the atmospheric conditions have changed and will end in a final peace terms.” How dreadful— “Wilson being popular his ideas may be confirmed and exe- cuted in the peace conference.” “John Calvin was a Baptist. He first started his work in Germany where it spread to England and from there to Amer- ica. His work became very popular and it influenced many.” “Architecture advanced in the Middle Ages. They strength- ened the houses and made them larger and more windows and fancy trimmings with Statues placed in front of the houses. The windows were made of fancy glass, with the figures of the different biblical characters. The Statuets were made to rep- resent the different gods that the people had taken a fancy to, placed them as ornaments in front of their homes.” Jimmie bliss? A. E.—No, that’s rouge. (As he pressed his lips to her cheek) Is this Heaven’s Miss Lewis—“How on earth do you get such wild translations”? Pupil—“Why er, I-er-I have a broncho.” N. B.—“Broncho means Wild Pony.” Red” Johnson—“Where have I seen your face before. Shorty” Shultz—Probably right where it is now. y Red lips parted teeth of white, Waist encircled with his right, Glimpse of Heaven’s ecstacies H. Eiferle—Is Bronson Howard honest? G. Shultz—Honest? Why, he wouldn’t even skin a banana. ?ROS?CCTUS Paw Knows Everything. Willie—“Paw what is the breath of suspicion?” Paw—“The one that has cloves on it my son.” How Thoughtless—“I suppose your son broke himself down at college football.” “No, the doctor said what gave him nervous prostration was try- ing to get his lessons between the games.” Up-to-Date Beau. Ma—“There is one thing about Edith’s young man, dear, you don’t have to get up every night to send him off.” pa—“No, thank Heaven, one of our girls has picked up a self- starter.” 1 3 1 3 Ancient Egg—1st. Soldier (in restaurant) — “How’s your egg, Bill?” Second Soldier—“I’ll match you to see who goes back for the gas-masks.” Frank Baxter—Say, how would you punctuate the sentence: “The wind blew a $5 bill around the corner?” Would you put a period at the end or what? G. Newcombe—I should say not! Pd make a dash after the $5 bill. In Physic’s Class. Mr. Valentine—“Miss Wolverton, when you look into a mirror do you always see yourself?” Miss Wolverton—“No, not if it is dark.” Sam Wey—Did anybody comment on the way you handled your new car? Ralph Freeman—One man did, but he didn’t say much. Sam Wey—What did he say? Ralph Freeman—Fifty dollars and costs. Reo Williamson—How does it feel to have whiskers on one’s face? Hupert Williams—Sorry, but I just shaved. Miss Seymour—Mr. Craig, where were you the 5th hour? Mr. Craig—Went to the barber shop. Miss Seymour—Well, don’t you think that was rather a close shave? Miss Gold—(to Freshie in Greek History Class) Well, what be- came of Sulla? Freshie—Oh—he died. English Teacher—“We will take the life of Bunyan Monday. Come prepared.” With apologies to Shakespeare. ’Twas in a restaurant they met, This Romeo and Juliet. ’Twas there he first fell into debt For Romeo’d what Juliet. Think So? “Now they claim that the human body contains sulphur.” “In what amount?” “Oh, in varying quantities.” “Well, that may account for some girls making better matches han others.” ?ROSPCCTVS j Si Perkins on the Flu. Now folks just because we live in Hay Center is no sign that us folks don’t get everything that’s a coming our way. Honest thar ain’t a patent medicine peddler thats a missed us in five years. Now when we read in The Morning Bugle that this har influenza was headed in our direction we knew it wouldn’t miss Hay Center. The first we noticed it had arrived in our midst is when Lem Hopkins’s cow started coughin so hard it shook the flagstaff offin the Pust Office. Right off the bat Fannie Willowtree, what sells caliaco at the corner store, found out she had a headache an a fever so she went home to bed, sayin as how she hoped and thot that Hiram Tucker, her boss, would continue her wages see as how she was sure she had caught it from Lem whose cow had it. You couldn’t fool me I knew she was fishin fer a vacation at full pay. Now Lem said he never felt better in his life, and the reason his cow coughed was because she got a corn cob stuck in her throat and it wouldn’t go down. But that didn’t make one speck of differ- ence to Fannie. Next mornin an old Lizzie came rattling in and woke me up be- cause as how I thot it was my alarm clock goin off. Right thar I said as how in the duce did Hank Ford ever intend to ride himself into the Senate on one of them things. You notice as how 1 said on one of em, not in one of em. Be- cause thar ain’t a person livin as ever rid in one of them things seein as how they ai-e one of them, off agin, on agin, here you are and thar you ain’t sort of joy buggies. But as I was a sayin in came the Lizzie with a fellar in the front seat wearin a comical white thing over his face like the girl did at the last carnival we had. Speakin of carnivals, By Hickory, it was sure a corder. Jim Hawkins went to see the same show five times and it cost him three dollars. Yes Sir-e-e. But this har fellar said his name was Mr. Doctor DeKline. Right off I calls him Old Doc Run Down on account of the Decline. He says as how we all got to wear them side show things that he called masks. Lord they looked more to me like a piece of mis- quito netting got into society. But he says as how he is an officer of the law and if we won’t do it he will, shut up the corner grocery, close the blacksmith shop, and quartine the hitchin post. So I put on my old bandanie and wife took a piece of the dish cloth and Lem found a piece of last year’s misquito netting. John the blacksmith made himself a can that would fit over his nose. He put wires on it so it would fastin on like a pair of specks. He left the end open so as he could put a hunk of his old bandanie over it. His bandanie was purty nigh gone anyway so he didn’t mind the tearin of it. Over to the district school all the kids had to wear em. The girls see as who could put the purtiest lace ai-ound the edges of em. The boys painted faces on theirs and chewed Slippery elm behind em. Willie Jones got a lickin because he started whistin, “In My Harem.’’ You see Willie had been to the city and learned all them new songs. By gum he knew some purty good stories too, said as how a minister told em to him. He knew one as went like, “Why does a chicken cross the road?” I said as how I didn’t know. Then he says, “Because she’s layin fer some one on the other side.” Har Har, Thot as how Id break my new suspenders at that un. I always did appreci- ate a right fresh joke. Say folks I forgot to tell you about the masks. Just as soon as old Doc Run Down was out of sight we all pulled em down offin our noses and breathed the good old fresh air. You know I sort of liked it better with the flu in it as without it. It seemed 1 9 1 9 One hundred-thirty eight ?ROS?CCTVS 9 1 9 7 to me like strainin milk through a sive to keep the cream out. couldn’t be did. Well to make a short story long, in about two weeks the influ- enza moved on the next place and Fannie Willowtree went back to work and all of us fired them masks fer good. Helene Taylor—“Hear about that fellow that drank liquid veneer?” Reo Williamson—“Yes, poor fellow, he never lived to see his finish.” More Cake. Gladys baked an angel cake For her dashing Foster’s sake; Foster ate it, every crumb; Then he heard the angel’s drum Calling softly—“Foster, come! Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.” Appropriate Harmony. “Hibbard is a cheerful fellow. Did you notice he was whistling as he loaned me that five dollars?” “Yes. He was whistling Tosti’s ‘Goodby, Forever.’ ” Arthur Hoard----Roman History Exam. Caesar, after defeating Pompey pushed on into Egypt where he met Cleopatra and sent back the message to the Roman Senate, “I came, I saw, I conquered.” “The Wail of the High School Boys.” Some girls think its funny Why us fellows here in school, Don’t send ’em flowers and all such things As per the general rule; But us poor ginks have trouble enough To make the opposite ends meet And when we take her out one night We’re busted for the week. One on “Mac.” In her parlor there were three; Hortense, a parlor lamp, and he, Two is company without a doubt, And so the parlor lamp went out. You Awful Thing. Donald Wright was a pert young man, Liked the ladies, loved to flirt; But once he winked at Schultz’s love And now he is an ex-pert. Heard in Mythology Class. Miss Owen—Miss Ricketts you may tell me the story of the Delude. R Ricketts—Once upon a time the people became so wicked that the gods decided to wipe them off with water. Professor (discussing organic and inorganic kingdoms) — Now, if I should shut my eyes—so—and turn my head—so—and remain perfectly still, you would say I was a clod. But I move, I leap. Then what do you call me? Bright Pupil—A clodhopper, sir. 1 9 9 Page one hundred twenty-two — mm Dental Society MEMBERS F. M ANN IS C. H. MATSON J. II. BECKWITH H. J. MOGFORD R. G. BROWN W. N.

In Autumn there are nuts to crack of every size and kind; Hazel nuts and Hickory nuts and Chestnuts you’ll find, And if around the nursery fire you sit and crack and eat And joke and spin a merry yarn; ’tis happiness complete; But there are other nuts to crack. Quite different you will find From Hazel nut or Hickory or any other kind: English, Algebra, these nuts are hard, indeed. And spelling is another nut, and there’s to write and read At every turning of the way new nuts fall at your feet. Though hard to crack, you’ll find in each a kernel, sound and sweet. Indeed a bag of nuts is hid behind each school-room door, Be sure you crack them every one before you ask for more. —Selected.
