We entered, confident and hopeful, expecting to make a definite impression, and only gradually did we begin to realize that we were merely an incident in High School life. Many events occurred throughout the year which were of some degree of im- portance, but the one which will always stand out in our minds is Honor Day. At that time we received the reward for our perservering efforts during the preceding six months and all were justly proud. The social event of the year was the picnic held at Thread Lake. Our first spring was made memorable by the declaration of war upon Germany. As individuals, and as a class we were given an opportunity to assist in the many war activities. Many and happy are the memories of our Freshman year. Never shall we forget our teachers of the session room, Miss Becker and Miss Mary Gold, who stand as figures on the horizon of school life. The work of these teachers will remain as monuments and mile-stones in our not-soon-to-be forgotten days. SOPI1 MORE YEAR As we entered upon our Sophomore year we found that our success depended upon organized effort, as organization has come to be the most important factor in all social, political, and business life. Hence, early in September a meeting of the class was called and officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows:—President, David Roberts; Vice-President, Thelma Chrysler; Secretary, Mary Davison; and Treasurer, George Conover. None of these officers remained with the class to complete their course but sought higher institutions of learning in various parts of the country. Whether or not their departure was due to the Psychological effect of their election to these offices or to peculiar coincidence has not been determined. Being rather socially inclined we decided to take advantage of our last oppor- tunity for pleasure during the school year and the result was a picnic held at Thread Lake Park. This was planned for the second week in June and proved to be a very enjoyable affair in spite of the fact that due to some peculiar reason, best known to the boys of the class, the ice-cream failed to appear. Our efforts during the year were largely directed by our very able instructors, Miss Armstrong and Miss Sdunek. Both won the hearts of all by their untiring devotion in our behalf, and will always be remembered with the greatest amount of respect and admiration. Page sixty-seven History of the Class of 1920 (Continued) JUNIOR YEAR Time sped on and another September found us beginning a third year of our High School life. We now found our leaders of the preceding year far from us and the offices being filled by another group of capable students. Hupert Williams, Margaret Prout, Julia Palmer, and Russell Manney held the respective offices of President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. As Freshmen we had suffered many hardships at the hands of the Sophomores but now that these Sophomores had become Seniors they showed their readiness to atone for such discourtesies and on December 12th invited us to attend a party at Dryden Hall. The party given by us to these same Seniors, later in the year, proved that we had long before forgiven them. It was in Room O where we learned to know Miss Mudge and it was here that we spent our last two happy years. Many times as we look back over our school days we will recall incidents closely related to this memorable room. SENIOR YEAR We have now reached the close of our Senior year which has been one of the most happy, if not the happiest time spent in the dear old F. H. S. President Albert Linabury, Vice-President Anna Hamilton, Secretary Gwendolyn Trees, and Treasurer Durward Cole were chosen to be our leaders during this last successful year. A few weeks after the election of officers we appointed our Prospectus staff who were destined to have plenty of employment for their spare time. In December the Junior class were our guests at a dancing party held in the Dryden Hall. This was well attended and proved to be a very enjoyable occasion. At mid-year Miss Mary Gold resigned the position which she had held for many years. During nearly four years of association she had endeared herself to the members of the class and her retirement was keenly felt by everyone. As the four happy years draw to a close and our thoughts go forward to our future vocations, we wish to extend our most sincere appreciation to the faculty for their patience and untiring efforts in cur behalf. Thus endeth the history of another class, not altogether different from others, yet a history that holds in itself the possibility of a future marked with brilliant successes. Alice M.

It may have occurred to an editor in the long-distant past that in order to justify his honorific title, he should give vent to his burning thoughts in the customary manner of an editor. Or, the motive may have been the entirely admirable one of filling space and thus aiding in persuading the purchaser that he is getting his money’s worth. Last year’s editor broke all records in this last respect by succeeding in filling two pages with one editorial. If we have any sense of the heavy respon- sibilities of our office it is clearly up to us to equal his performance. After earnestly cogitating the matter we find that there is only one subject of scholas- tic interest that our limited power of thought could extend for two pages. That one topic is, by a curious coincidence, the same that was selected last year. We are aware that such a proposal may seem to savor of the monotonous, but we consider that this objection will be lessened by treating the theme in our always refreshing and highly original style. We also think that it is no more than fair to tell the reader what that topic was and what we are talking about in this torrent of language. In wandering through the mazes ahead of him it might be interesting to know that we are discussing our coy and elusive school spirit. Now this shrinking violet is said by some to shrink as the result of the existence of certain pernicious societies in our midst. These societies are com- posed of various fellows of the high school. They are, therefore, connected, though not officially, with the school. This is not the place to go into detail con- cerning the variety of charges preferred against these execrable bodies. We do think, however, that it is fitting to offer editorial comment on the one nar ticular charge stated above. That statement when put rather baldly amounts to this: That the societies referred to exist, that the proper school spirit does not exist, and that, therefore, it is obvious that these institutions are responsible. It is maintained with simple and honest conviction by opponents that the members of these narrow cliques do not take an active enough interest in student affairs. It is maintained with equally simple and honest conviction by the same opponents that they take altogether too active and leading a part in Patre seventy-live - Editorial (Continued) student affairs. Now to the impartial mind the logic of these statements seems to be a trifle obscure. It is true that there may be a connecting thought so ex- tremely subtle as to escape our simple nrnd. But though we have heard these two assertions made time and again we have yet to hear any reconciliation of the contradiction involved. And the aforesaid impartial mind might arrive at a conclusion. He might conclude that when the same people make contradictory statements, both statements are likely to be incorrect. He might, in short, con- clude that the members of these organizations assume the part in school activ- ities that they should assume, neither more nor less. To consider these several groups of fellows responsible for the existence of a flourishing spirit, is manifestly unjust. For any school spirit worthy of the name must be universal. It is not fair that this fraction of the students be held accountable for the lack of this universal spirit. These aforementioned bodies are answerable for the attitude of their members only. When conducted as they should be they always endeavor to see that this attitude is the proper one. But their endeavors, whether successful or not. have nothing to do with the view- point of other members of the school. And the attitude of this great majority of the student body is the major factor in the school spirit. But if these organizations were responsible for the existence of school zeal, and since it is not very much in evidence, the natural corollary would be that these exert a dampening influence (in some mysterious way) upon the enthu- siasm of the school. This statement is. of course, not true. And the proof is simple. If we are not deceived our frequently mentioned ethereal phantom ex- isted in a more solid form but a few years ago. And strange as it may seem these clans of Satan were shedding their baneful influence as vigorously as ever. And it is certain that if these two could breathe the same air then, they could do so now� if there were not some other reason for the decay of student activity. The other reason is not difficult to find. The truth is, of course, that school spirit could not be slack because a comparatively small number of fellows were slack. School spirit is slack because we are all slack. The blame is wrongly laid. It is, in fact, simply an evasion. To place the fault in this misleading fashion prevents us from seeing the solution of the problem. Certainly it is harmful for the true interests of the school. For, before anything can be done to better the situation, we must admit what the situation is. We must admit that W’e are all too indifferent, w’e all lack the enthusiasm, and it is up to us all to take a more active interest in student concerns if we really want to bring about what we say we do. THAN K S We take this opportunity to thank all who have helped in any way to make this book and, in particular, we wish to thank Mr. L. S. Parmelee, Mary Jones, Yetta Kennedy, Earle Spohn, David Roberts, and Gwendolyn Trees. L ' I] Pasrc seventy-six Page seventy-seven c THE CADET CORPS OF FLINT HIGH SCHOOL The Cadet Corps of Flint High School---1920 At the first of the school year a meeting was called by Captain Swavely for the members of the old Cadet Corps and for any new fellows that were interested in the Cadets. This meeting was for the purpose of getting the names and the number of members who could be expected to join the company. For some reason or other the number was not as large as expected. Owing to the failure of locating a place to drill, the company did not organize until February 9, 1920. The Atmory, which had been the drill hall in former years, was taken over by the American Legion, and the weather was too cold to drill out doors. But when the weather was warm enough to do so the company was organized. Soon officers were appointed to fill the vacant offices and the company began to take shape. The company was not very large but under the direction of the Captain and Lieutenants and without the aid of a drill master the rudiments of drilling were taught to the cadets. Up to date the company was doing as weil as could be expected under the conditions. After many attempts to pick out a day when it was not raining the effort was given up and the Cadet Picture was taken on April 28th, in the rain. As yet the company has not been in any parades or other ceremonies but it expects to be before the close of school. Next year if enough interest and excitement can be roused among the students of Flint High School the Cadet Corps should be bigger and better than ever, for the officers that are left this year will certainly do their part to make it so. The members of the company are:— Daniel Swavely, Captain Glenn Cummings, 1st Lieutenant Clark Abbott, 2nd Lieutenant Charles Fowler, 1st Sergeant Steven Gelenger, Quartermaster Sergeant Brooke Peters, Sr. Color Sergeant Harold Dickinson, Jr. Color Sergeant Errol Wood, Signal Sergeant John Lucas, 1st Duty Sergeant Walter Lake, 2nd Duty Sergeant Raymond Riggs. 1st Corporal James Barrion, 2nd Corporal Horatio Parmelee, 3rd Corporal Clarence Dill, 4th Corporal James How, 5th Corporal Privates:— Oren Alger Russell Barreth Enos Billings Albert Bridgman Ronald Buck Lester Davenport _________________ Jl William Dorland Stanley Forbes Todd French Lowell Gibson Frank Hibard Lester Horton William Howell Samuel Kapland William Lande George Leineke Arnold Mansfield Larkin Mosher John Mrasek Jim Murphy Levi Nelson Jim Nutt Frederic Schouman Cyril Spencer Lewis Stadler J.

How on one night the Juniors paused, Overcome by awe that the Seniors caused, And when, and how, and what befell, The Juniors at a party that the Seniors held. Six months ago or more or less, The Juniors did the Seniors bless. With a party, heaped full of glee, An entertainment as enjoyable as could be, For the Seniors took their breath away And the Juniors knew not what to say. This party too was quite the thing Though they never danced the Highland Fling, But instead:— Waltzes, two-steps, fox-trots and glides, Society’s fancy, one-steps and slides, Of every kind we danced them all. On January ninth, in Dryden Hall. Margaret Prout. _ Page eighty-seven He took off the receiver again and waited what seemed hours, “Hello! Hello! Cen- tral? Give me 1617! Click-click—Hello! Click-click-click—Hello!! Central? Line out of order? Oh!—” He gave vent to his wrought up feelings, and just then the clock struck eight. He rose in almost a rage and rushed into his room tossing his things in every direction. In his confusion and excitement he could scarcely get ready. The hands of the clock seemed to keep going faster and faster. At last he felt as if he looked presentable and rushed out of the house. The fresh air did much to help him collect his scattered thoughts, for he had tried to get her ever since four in the afternoon, and conse- quently was not yet calmed down. He was far from composed when he started, to say nothing of his frame of mind when he mounted the steps, because it was now nine o’clock and the Junior-Senior party began at eight-thirty. He had never been so late before and on this night everything went wrong. He had traveled only three blocks, and he was sure he had gone at least six, and going speedily up to the door rang the bell furiously, a very unkindly lady answered, look- ing at him in a very shrewd manner, but not saying a word, began to walk towards him. Now realizing his mistake he hastily said: “O-Oh! Beg pardon, Madam! B-b-but I believe I’m in the wrong place—Good-bye! ! ” And he hurried on much faster than before, down the three remaining blocks, at the same time many foolish ideas running through his head. Finally, arriving at the right place, he waited patiently until she answered the door. In a few minutes they were ready and in very much haste they arrived at the Parish House just in time for the entertainment, as Marjorie Tanner glided lightly out onto the floor to begin a very artistic toe dance. “How graceful and how beautifully she dances!” were the many comments floating amongst the crowd. “She really displays marvelous talent, don’t you think?” And Miss Anna Hamilton and Miss Odle gave two very enjoyable song numbers. The next number on the program was a distinct and clever reading by Miss Helen Hardy. Mr. Charles French added two catchy and amusing songs to the program. The biggest surprise of the whole evening was the appearance of the “faculty”—with Miss Lilian Gold as the main character. She appeared dressed like a Spiritualist and bearing the name “Madam Zaz-a-baz,” which well fitted the nature of the part which she rep- resented. In her “Spiritualistic dreams” appeared a well-known building, which proved to be no more than Flint High School, and coming out of this building was a stately senior, the character of which was portrayed by Miss Rosenthal, carrying a mirror, powder-puff, and movie magazine. Then appeared three other people, who were wandering around the school, and who proved to be no other than Miss Smith, Miss Lott, and Mr. L. S. Parmelee, who seemed to be very much displeased over some- thing which had just occurred out-of-the-ordinary. Mr. Russell appeared as a stalwart youth of foot-ball fame, just as full of vim as if to enter the game. Miss Williams and Miss Lewis proved to us they both had very excellent voices when singing before such a large audience, and being in charge of the talented professor, Mr. J. E. Wellwood, they can rest assured that the entertainment they afforded was very much appre- ciated by all. Both Juniors and Seniors entered into a grand march which ended in dancing. The decorations, of apple blossoms, were arranged in a very unique and attractive manner around the balcony. Much credit is due the Juniors for the party which, without doubt, surpassed all Senior expectations. Margaret Prout. P«ko ciKhty-cijfht n “If I Were Kin ” •‘IF I WERE KING,” a romantic play in four acts by Justin Huntly McCarthy, which is being presented by the Class of 1920 at the Majestic Theatre, on the after- noon and evening of June eleventh, is in itself the greatest and most elaborate drama ever staged by the students of Flint High School. In the leading role in this produc- tion E. H. Sothern, the American actor, attained his greatest success and widest popularity. In offering this royalty play to the public no labor nor expense has been spared that would aid in making it an ideal production. Specially designed costumes have been obtained from New York and elaborate scenery for nearly the entire production has been constructed. The striking beauty of artistic setting and scenic background has been made still more attractive by carefully planned effects in stage lighting. The play is under the efficient direction of Beth Olds Tyler, instructor in Public Speaking and Dramatics, whose untiring efforts, earnest cooperation, and invaluable assistance in the preparation of this production has made it possible. The Senior managers of this play are: Albert Linabury, Business Manager; Rolland Bates, Cos- tume Manager; Durward Cole, Treasurer; Alton Miller, General Secretary; and Mar- shall Smith, Property Manager. The play presents a true picture of France under the despotic reign of that cruel and cunning monarch. Louis XI. The story is laid in old Paris and a week elapses from the opening of the first act, in the quaint old Fircone Tavern, until the final curtain on the gallows scene at the end of the fourth act. From the standpoint of artistic scenic effect the curtain of the opening act rises upon one of the most beautiful stage settings ever presented at the Majestic Theatre. The tale of a dark night, a tavern, the firelight throwing weird shadows among the smoky rafters, a cloaked woman, a sordid fellow drowsing by the fire, a prayer, a love-tale, and a promise, a crowd of bullies and wantons, a quarrel, a fight with sword and lantern in the dark, a breast knot of ribbon flung from the gallery. New scenery for this entire act has been specially constructed. The setting and cast, embracing thirty main characters and over fifty auxiliaries, is as follows:— ACT I. The Tavern—Night. ACT II. The Garden—Noon. ACT III. The Masque—Evening. ACT IV. The Gibbet—Morning. i — -a Paste eisrhty-nine CHARACTERS: Francois Villon----------------------------------------------------------Theo. G.

We little realized how short would be our stay Most of us studied, some of us played, And according to our merits we’ve been repaid. School life is by no means a bore. As some knockers are bound to say; ’Tis where the jolliest things are in store If we only let them have sway. In knowledge there is unbounded pleasure, Any truthful one, this fact must confess; And with such a willing faculty as ours has been ever, Our meanest efforts have been crowded with success. And here’s just the secret of H. S. life. If you wish to enjoy its full measure. Find your place in Athletics, Glee Club or such like, By doing so both the club and you will be bettered. Every day, every hour, every minute We’ve spent in this cherished old place Has been filled with happiest memories Which time can never erase. But now we must part and each go his way, In a world that knows naught of ruth, So let us all in our work and our play, Remember the friends of our youth. Hope, for a new H. S. building is promised, Been promised for many a year, Hope, for it sure’ll be a dandy If it ever does get here. Smile, cause it’s now been purchased, Oak Grove, the new school site, Smile, for the blue prints are published. That means it’s sure all right. Be glad, e’en tho’ we have to graduate From this ark of 1873, Be glad, for few more shall do it, It really isn’t a building of eternity. Look forward, some day we’ll enter (Visitors), That object of our many dreams, Look forward and imagine Just how that will seem. W. J. S. (R. E.) thletic Association The election for officers of the Athletic Association was held in the customary month, February. The polling resulted in the election of Donald Johnson, President! Caroline Stone, Vice-President; and Maurice Decker, Secretary-Treasurer. These are assisted by the two faculty members, Mr. Pratt and Mr. Valentine. Hy a new rule which is intended to be permanent, the preceding officers retain their vote as mem- bers of the Athletic Association board. Hy thus increasing the personnel of the board by experienced students, its business can be more efficiently performed. One of the early duties of the new officers was participating in the arrangements for the first annual banquet of the Athletic Association. The success of this banquet is expected to be repeated annually and the new officers are determined to be able to present sweaters as well as “F’s” to the players next year. Tag day, on which students were given a chance to show their loyalty, was one of the early means adopted for raising the money necessary for this purpose. That the officers are capable is without question, that they are making the most strenuous efforts possible is equally evident, and it may, therefore, be hoped that the present debt will be cancelled in the ensuing year. � 41 At the call for candidates for the football team, about twenty men turned out. Coach Mayer, after looking over the squad, decided to call off the practice and go up to school and give them a talk. He did. After the talk there were sixty fellows out. Several of last year’s men were back, including Johnson, Knight, McClellan, Pidd, Downer, Love and Williams. Early in the season a need for a quarterback was found and Marvin was brought to light. The season went along fine until it was discovered that Marvin was ineligible. This caused the forfeiture of the Detroit Central and Grand Rapids Central games. After that the season was fairly successful, although the Valley teams with the exception of Arthur Hill seemed to be down on us. Bay City Western cancelled and Eastern gave us such a rotten deal that Mayer had to take the team off the field. We were in the lead. Coach Mayer says that there will be no Valley League game except with Arthur Hill next year. September 27th Arthur Hill, 21. Flint, 0. The first game of the season ended rather disastrously for Flint. Arthur Hill brought a light, but very fast team and had to be watched every moment. They picked up one fumble and intercepted two passes, and ran for touchdowns. Our line was practically composed of new men, who had not had much experience, but nevertheless Arthur Hill could make nothing in the way of plunges, having made their yards but twice during the game. Johnson made some very good gains, but the majority of the men were not in condition. Captain Love October 4th Grand Rapids, 3. For the first time in history, Flint overcame Grand Rapids. The team got in there and fought with the old time pep and ferocity and swept its opponents down the field. Grand Rapids was not able to gain through our line at any time and the best it could do was to drop kick one over from our 30- yard line in the first quarter. Marvin, the new quarter-back, was largely responsible for the victory, running the team very skillfully, besides showing ability in open field running. Mc- Clellan, Johnson and Knight all gained ground when called upon. The line showed remarkable improvement since the Arthur Hill game, Weiss and VanWormer repeatedly breaking through and spilling their opponents for losses. Love and Knight held down the ends on a defense to perfection, not one long end run being made. On the whole, the team showed great improvement under the coaching of Mr. Mayer. October 11th Detroit Central, 0. Flint, 13. The Flint team this year surely believes in breaking all records. The defeat of Detroit Central for the first time is Flint, 14. Harter d Page ninety-foui another one of their achievements. Detroit came down here expecting to have an easy time but they were greatly surprised. The Flint team was fighting every inch of the way, and frequently held the Detroiters for downs. It took the Flint team exactly eight minutes to make its first touchdown which was made by straight line smashes and end runs. Marvin ran the team in splendid style, using his head, as well as his feet. He and Johnson pulled off some good end runs, while McClellan and Knight took care of the line plunging, often making 5 to 10 yards. The line showed real fight while on the defensive. McClellan was shifted to tackle on defense and Weiss to full back. This system worked well and many runs were stopped back of the line scrim- mage. Schlickenmeyer played the best game for the visitors, on both offensive and defensive. This victory surprised many teams of the state and brought Flint into a position to try for the State Championship. November 1st Saginaw Eastern, 20. Flint, 6. The Flint team went up to Saginaw with Marvin, Johnson, and McClellan out of the line'-up, and consequently did not play the game that it should have. Saginaw could gain nothing through our line but they were very good in the art of pidd forward passing and made their touchdowns in this way. Flint looked rather weak on breaking up passes, letting Sag- inaw get away with many long ones. Knight and Love looked the best for Flint in the back field, the former hitting the line, and the latter turning the ends for good gains. In the first half Flint had the better of the argument in straight foot ball, but in the second half Saginaw opened up on aerial work and scored two touchdowns. November 8th Holland, 0. Flint, 38. Bates The Holland team came to Flint with quite a good reputation, having held Grand Rapids Union and Muskegon to very low scores, and the home team expected quite a hard game. But again the dope was upset and Flint had no trouble in defeating them by a large score. Flint was never in danger of be- ing scored upon and kept the ball in Holland territory most of the time. Johnson, Knight and Love made many good gains through their line and around the ends. Our defense against forward passes im- proved considerably and Holland was only able to get away with two short passes out of a number of attempts. November 15th Bay City Eastern, 1. Flint, 0. After receiving a large number of penalties and the worst part of the deal by the referee and headlinesman, Coach Mayer took the Flint team off the field. Time after time, when there was something in dispute, the Bay City fans would rush out on the field and want to fight the team, the coach and everyone that came from Flint. The Johnson 11 Pa e ninety-five a A i I Downer Ferenz headlinesman prompted by the Bay City principal, who was also official timekeeper, called fouls on Flint continually when he could not even tell which player was offside. Finally one of the Bay City men slugged Love, in full view of the refei'ee, who must have been blind, or other- wise afflicted. This was too much for Mayer, j who ran out on the field and immediately the I referee wanted to penalize Flint half the length of the field. At the time the game was called Flint was ahead 7 to 6. We worked the ball down the field to their ten yard line, and then a short pass over the line, Love to Ferguson gave us a touchdown. They se- cured their touchdown when Johnson fumbled on their 20 yard line and a Bay City man recovered and took it over the line. Johnson made a couple of pretty good 40 yard runs while Decker and Knight were bucking the line for gains. The team looked good on the defensive. November 22nd Pontiac. 13. Flint, 7. The Flint team went down to Pontiac confident of winning and it did look like it until the beginning of the second half, when Pontiac opened up on a flock of shift plays and forward passes that seemed to bewilder our squad. They scored 2 touchdowns in the last half by the forward pass route. In the last half, Flint had the ball in their possession all the time, and would have had another touchdown had they not been penalized for shoving on the play that took the ball over. But the team as a whole played ragged football and did not seem to have the fight it displayed in the Detroit Central and Grand Rapids Central games. While it is usually customary in school papers to make amends and apologies for the various re- verses of the year it is not necessary to make any explanations or alibies for the past football season. Thirteen men represented our school and out of the thirteen, nine won their first “F’s”. Such stars as Downer, Weiss, McGovern, Bates, Ferenz, VanWor- mer, Pidd, Harter and Ferguson, were playing their first year on our team, and yet with the three or four veterans, Love, Knight, Johnson and Decker, a team was built which accomplished more than any other football team which ever represented F. H. S. With this material we were able to defeat Grand Rapids Central, the second game of the season, and only one week later we handed Detroit Central their first defeat in tory of our athletics. With these two games’ victories, there were no further incentives, for the height of our ambitions had been Weiss reached. Even the state championship was of no interest after we Decker the his- I PaKe ninety-six mm had arrived at the long-fought-for goal, beating Detroit Central. True there were rumors of ineligibility which tended to disorganize our team and we were denied our legal right to present our claims before the M. I. A. A. But such rumors and VanWormer Knight McGovern Ferguson jealousy and ill-will always follow a winning team. Suffice it to say, the one aim and ambition was attained this year, and with the next season and experienced players as a nucleus about which to form the new team, even greater ambitions will be realized. L J] Page ninety-seven Ulli� Basket Ball January 9th Midland, 20. Flint 9 Flint went up to Midland for the first same of the season and met defeat at the hands of a first team. The low ceiling handicapped the Flint players who were ac- customed to shooting long shots, which were practically impossible on the Midland floor. The game was considerably faster than the score indicates, only four field baskets being made during the game. Both teams used the five-men defense which accounted for the small amount of field baskets. January 16th Mt. Pleasant 27 Flint 12 Mt. Pleasant brought a real snappy team to Flint. They had good team work and scored a number of baskets, while the Flint players seemed to try too much indi- vidual work. Throughout the game the Mt. Pleasant team outplayed Flint in every department and proved themselves the best team. January 23rd Fontiac 23 Flint 19 The Flint team went to Pontiac to play a strong aggregation. The teams were about evenly matched but Pontiac had the advantage of their own floor and better support. Pontiac led the score in the first half, but Flint came back in the second half and tied the score 18-18. From that point on the game was very fast and uncertain but Pontiac managed to score two field baskets and a foul while Flint could only get one foul basket. January 30th Detroit Junior College Fresh, 7. Flint 18. This game was the home team’s first victory this season. The Detroit team was never very dangerous by way of getting baskets. Flint having the ball in their possession most of the game, and showing a remarkable improvement in team work. The team seemed to work more smoothly and efficiently and to have at last struck their winning stride. February 6th Midland, 18. Flint, 24. The Midland team came to Flint expecting to repeat their victory of earlier in the season. But this time they were up against a better team, and soon found it out. I erguson and Weiss dropped in some good long shots. The Midland team played a snappy game and had a wonderful five-men defense, but were unable to stop the long shots. February 13th Holly, 13. Flint, 44. The Holly team proved to be rather weak opponents for the Flint basket shoot- The Holly men were all big but lacked the team work that Flint seemed to be lull of. Indeed, Flint had it so easy that Coach Sharmack sent the second team to Holly to play them on the following Friday. No one heard much about this game but it wa? generally believed that the second got lost on the way over. February 20th M. S. D., 13 Flint, 13. Another victory for Flint. This game was not very important as it was just the usual result of the games with this Institution for the past number of years. The Flint team seemed to have at last got their team work on the road to perfection after using the individual brand of basket ball. The Weiss brothers, as forward® did a great deal toward making a more snappy team. Captain Lyle Ferguscn Page ninety-eight — February 27th Port Huron, 15. Flint, 30. Port Huron came to Flint with a very good reputation, which lasted only about five minutes of play. Although Flint was handicapped by the disqualification of the Weiss brothers the team seemed to work well enough to make the opponents hustle, as the score indicates. Ferguson and Reigel did the most of the scoring, each getting five field baskets. March 5th Port Huron, 29. Flint, 26. But this is a different story. Although Flint came out on the short end. it was a hotly contested game. It took two overtime periods of five minutes each for Port Huron to win. At the end of the second half the score was 24-24. In the first over- time period each team made one field basket, but in the second period Port Huron scored three points while Flint was unable to make a tally so the game ended 29-26. Dodds was shifted to forward for this game and Downer went in at guard. Dodds showed up well at forward, getting four field baskets. March 12th U. of D. High, 25. Fiint, 10. Lack of team work was the main factor in the losing of this game. Ferguson remained at heme on account of sickness, and Hill was started at center. The score at the end of the first half was 10-7 in favor of Detroit, but in the second half they scored 15 points while Flint could only get three. AT THE MT. PLEASANT TOURNAMENT March 18th-19th Saginaw Eastern, 9. Flint, 21. The first game at the tournament proved to be an easy one for Flint. Although we had scheduled no Valley games for this year, we were destined to play them any- way, for all three games at the tournament were with Valley teams. We were so much in love with the town of Mt. Pleasant that we decided to leave, after we had played the first game. But as we won it we were forced to stay. Reigel started things moving in about the first minute of play by dropping in a basket. After that it was easy going. Saginaw put up hardly any resistance, so the game was not very fast as we did not want to exert ourselves too much on account of the games that were to follow. Bay City Western, 10. Flint, 12. This is the game that we really wanted to win and we did, although it was very close. The score at the end of the first half was 6-4 in our favor and we seemed to have the edge on them. In the second half each team fought hard and three baskets were scored on each side leaving us still two points in the lead. We had intended to leave Mt. Pleasant that day but having won the game we decided to stay and play for the Class A. championship and win the old “ash tray,” but it turned out slightly different than we had planned. Arthur Hill, 10 Flint, 8. This is the game that broke father’s leg or as we say in English, upset our cal- culations. This was one of the closest games of the tournament. The score was 4-4 at the end of the first half and 8-8 at the end of the second half. But in a three minute overtime period Arthur Hill dropped in one field basket. Before the game Ferguson had planned to get the cup and charge 25c adm’ssion to see it, but as it was we only got a maroon and gold pennant, and we let them see that for nothing. Nevertheless this pennant entitled us to go to Ann Arbor for another tournament. AT THE ANN ARBOR TOURNAMENT April 1-2-3 Escanaba, 16. Flint, 15. Our stay at Ann Arbor, as far as the basket ball tournament was concerned was rather short. We were beaten the first game by Escanaba, the champions of the Upper Peninsula. The first half was just about even, 9 8 in favor of Escanaba. But in the second half Flint came back and ran the score up to 14-9. Weiss, Reigel and Ferguson were all working well together. Then Reigel was taken out and Safer put in. This combination could not seem to get started again and before the bell rang Escanaba piled up seven points while we only got one and made the final score 16-15 in their favor. n Thro ninety-nine l’age one hundred •inii Wearers of the “F FOOTBALL Walter Love, Captain Roy Knight Dan Weiss Maurice Decker Lyle Ferguson Irving Johnson Donald Pidd James VanWormer Raymond McGovern Loss Downer Rolland Bates Clarence Harter Henry Ferenz WINNERS OF “R’s” Donald Williams BASKET BALL WINNERS OF “F’s Lyle Ferguson, Captain Jack Riegel Harold Dodds Alton Miller Donald Williams Dan Weiss Loss Downer Don Weiss Margaret O’Grady Olive Bunce, Captain Ruth Goffe Hildred Rumbold Evelyn Davis Gwendolyn Trees Margery Stone Mendel Safer Wesley Wells Morris Green WINNERS OF “R’s’ Mildred Weatherald Sylvania Youmans Lena Mosher Mary Ellen Adair Margaret Hoffman 0= J I'njce one hundred one mm GIBLS’ BASKET BALL 1919—19% F. H. S. 15—EAST LANSING 30 The F. H. S. girls journeyed to East Lansing for their first game. M. O’Grady appeared for the first time in High School athletics playing forward with Bunce. O’Grady made the two first baskets for Flint. Rumbold and Davis as centers and Trees and Stone as guards put up a good fight. Flint had no chance with last year’s champions, who have played several years without losing a game. F. H. S. girls played Dort February 9th. in the Dort gym. With the absence of one forward the score was close and the game rough, Dort thinking they could win with roughness, but only by two points. F. H. S. girls rejoiced over their victory with the girls. The third quarter a change was made in the lineup and several points were added to high school score. The third quarter Bunce took Stone’s place as guard, with Trees. Rumbold and Davis centers, Goff and O’Grady forward. The Battle Creek Normal girls came to Flint with the idea of showing Flint a regular team. Forward they marched on the floor. Tall? Just like mountains, making the hearts of Flint girls sink down—down. In all Flint games there has never been a cleaner, faster game. Each player did her part in guarding and team work. At the third quarter only one basket was made putting Flint ahead two points. The final score ended 19-15 in Flint’s favor. Holly grirls came to play Flint Friday. February 13. expecting an easy time. Guard Gwen Trees turned her ankle first quarter but bravely played the game. Bunce as forward soon dropped out with a strained knee. Although the team was slightly crippled in two positions Flint girls were successful in team work and baskets, win- ning by eight points. Monroe came too soon after Flint girls’ game with Holly. Several members were still limping and hopping and could not do their best. The game was one sided Monroe being in the lead most of the time. F. H. S. 34—M. S. D. 22 F. H. S. met M. S. D. at Y. M. C.

LI Page one hundred three Owing to a very late start, baseball is not having a very Rood season at Flint High School. Our first difficulty was trying to find a suitable coach. Mr. Mayer did not seem to be so inclined and others were sought with no better success. So the team just drifted along on its own hook. The material looked very promising indeed, and the first game was played with no coaching what- ever. At the time of writing there had been two games played and another one scheduled. These three games will probably conclude the baseball season for 1920. Arthur Hill, 9. Flint, 7. This was the result of the first game, after the team had practiced a few times with no coach to aid them. The team seemed to work fairly well to- gether and had we had a good coach from then on, the season would have prob ably turned out different. Green, Decker and Billings composed the batteries. Both pitchers seemed to have “something on the old apple” and kept the Arthur Hill batters guessing and had it not been for a few errors in fielding the score would have probably been in our favor. Of course we don’t like to boast but we must fill up space some way. MAY 28, 1920 Port Huron, 10. Flint, 0. Right here’s where we had a pretty hard time. Part of the time they were ahecd and the rest of the t:me we were behind. But you must give them credit, they had a real ball team. They had won ten games out of twelve, including victories over Detroit Central and other good teams. The Flint team seemed levoid of all pep and some of the other qualities that go with a good ball team. Dccasionally they would wake up and pull off something good, such as Bates’ shoestring catch of a line drive. Not satisfied with doing this, he had to turn a few flips to make it appear more difficult. (We think that he traveled with Barn’em and Bull’em before he came to Central.) Another of the features was Ferenz’s throw from short stop to first. We will wager that he was trying to hit somebody in the bleachers. Anyway that’s where the ball landed. On account of the Prospectus going to press before the completion of the season, only a probable list of the “F” men can be obtained at this time. The following will be the most likely to receive them.

After the mid-year examinations, six new Freshmen members were initiated. These were selected from the list of students having the highest standings, as recom- mended by all the Freshmen English teachers and confirmed by the patroness, Miss Owen. Because of the large number of students from which our members are chosen the membership limit has been raised frcm twenty-five to thirty. This leaves place for six new members from the next Freshmen Class. We have each year tried to realize the purpose of the club—to increase skill in self-expression and to promote tha reading of good literature—by continuing our programs. These programs on social, political, and literary subjects are given after the business meetings every other Monday. At our Second Annual Open Door Meeting held February 13, 1920, a miscellaneous program was given consisting of some of the best numbers presented at the regular meetings. As the Club has grown in membership may it also grow in progressive activity. Our members are: Marie Anderson Frances Atchinson Jeanette Barney Hariette Casterlin Pearl Catsman Emma Chubbuck Claribell Clark Elizabeth Ccdy LI il — a Bethany Cook Sarita Davis Wave Hanna Margaret Hayes E!va Langdon Neva Lintz Dorothy McFarlen Olive Mears Thelma Randolph Irene Richards Lois Riley Marion Steinbach Ruth Simmons Marjory Todd Anna Varty Fern Young i-nfcc one hundred six TH ALI AN LITERARY SOCIETY The Avonians The Avonians of the Flint High School opened their second year of work in September. Pauline Button was elected secretary; owing to her resignation after her graduation in February, Mabelle White was chosen to succeed her. The nature of the club is such that a secretary is the only officer needed. The aim of the members, as the name implies, is to study the plays of Shakespeare. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Mary Gold this has been accomplished with enjoyment and appreciation. The club studied this year, by acts: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “The Taming of the Shrew,” and “King John.” Any Junior or Senior girl who is interested in im- proving herself by reading the greatest plays which have ever been written is gladly welcomed as a member of this club. There are no dues, no secrets, and no initiation ceremonies, and the organization should last as long as the high school exists. WINONA HIBBARD. Page one hundred eifirht AVON IANS The Wireless Hoorn The Radio Club of Flint Central High School was organized for the purpose of bringing together the amateurs of this city, and students of this High School to study the phenomena pertaining to radio communication, and to advance the in- terests of wireless telegraphy thereby. A club was established in the school for students early in the first semester. Shortly afterward the members of “The Ninteen- fifteen Club invited the school club to join them. The school club, realizing that having such a group attached to them, was the very action needed to insure rapid progress accepted the invitation. The two being united a definite program was ar- ranged by which the members were divided into three groups, which are Student, Junior and Senior members. Student members are those who are not familiar with Radio Communication, but are desirous of becoming operators. Junior members are those who hold a First Grade Government Amateur Radio License; and the Senior members act as the teachers, and are hoping and planning to have all Student members made Junior members by September, 1920. The set used by the club is of the Deforest Type, and very good results are obtained. Mr. Brockw’ay, Radio Engineer of the club, has intercepted messages from Nauen, Germany; Lyons, France, and various other large stations in Europe. Work within this country has been carried on with the greatest success. The transmitting set is available for use up to distances of four hundred miles. In the near future we are to join the “Radio League of America” and expect to be the leading station for their trans-continental work. The officers are: President, Robert J. Fowler; Vice-President, Dan Swavely; Secretary, W. L. Church; Treasurer, Laurence N. Daly. P Pnjre one hundred ten Page one hundred eleven The Student Council was organized at the suggestion of Mr. Parmelee as a result of the book-stacking affair after the Detroit Central game. The members of this body were picked by the President and Vice President of each class and two officers of the Athletic Association, together with well-known members of the student body. The Student Council was given full control over this and other affairs of the same nature and as a result of their investigations the culprits were discovered and forced to pay fines. It is to their credit that the general hard feelings aroused by these incidents were allayed and through their efforts at least a dozen fellows were kept in school. The following composed this representative school body:— Jack Riegel, President. Milton Pettibone Jack Mansfield Marjory Tanner James Setchfield Mary Stevenson Albert Linabury Anna Hamilton Poster Roser Alletta Newcombe Maurice Decker Frank G. Rutherford Harold Jacox Walter Love A. Richcardson J] _ Pag one hundred twelve DEBATING TEAM « «. Debating leam The Public Speaking Department under the able direction of Beth Olds Tyler, hqs enjoyed a very good year. In November two debating teams, one affirmative and one negative, were chosen to represent Flint High in the state debates on the subject of Universal Military Training. December 12, a debate was held in Room D, between Flint’s own teams, being won by the negative, which consisted of LeRoy Wilcox, captain, Charles Minore, and Charles Hatch. The affirmative was composed of Clare Batchelder, captain, Theo. Adams, and Thomas Dandurand. The ninth of January, Flint was scheduled to uphold the negative side of the question at Pontiac, but the debate was not held until the 14th, Flint winning by a unanimous vote. January 23, the negative team of Flint journeyed to Metamora through a blinding snow storm, arriving thei-e to discover that only one judge was present. Flint refused to debate under the circumstances and the debate was held one week later in Room Q, being won by Flint. February 6 Flint debated against Bad Axe in Room D, again winning by a unanimous vote. Flint once more upheld the negative side of the question. Two weeks later Flint’s negative team journeyed to Plymouth where it was defeated by a unanimous vote. This ended Flint’s career in the state debates. Dramatic Club Early in January, the advanced Public Speaking class formed the Dramatic Club, an offspring of the Public Speaking Department. Officers were chosen as follows: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Corresponding Sec’y Walter Lake Clare Batchelder Dorothy McFarlen Helen Hardy Charles Minore January 29th. Dramatic Club enjoyed a theatre party at the Majestic with an oyster supper afterwards at the home of Cecil MacKinnon. The evening was spent in singing and a good time was had by all. After the Bad Axe debate, the Dramatic Club gave a banquet in Room R to the opposing teams and the judges, after which all repaired to the Y. M. to watch the basketball game. The Dramatic Club aided materially in the Public Speaking recital and in other entertainments. a April 2nd the boys of the club took the girls to the Regent, the girls giving the boys a pot-luck supper after the show. J Page one hundred fourteen DRAMATIC CLUB Public Speaking Department December 18th, the Public Speaking Department presented at Brown Hall an adaptation of Dickens’ “Christmas Carol,” the leading part being taken by Theo. Adams. The audience was far smaller than the quality of acting deserved. February 23rd, the Public Speaking Department gave in Room D a patriotic pageant and a one act comedy entitled “In the Trenches Over There.” A good audience was present and the play was well received. The Mid-Year Recital of the Public Speaking Department was held March 30, in Room D. A good program was presented to a full house, and was very well re- ceived. In the middle of March, a local Oratorical and Declamatory Contest was held to decide Flint’s representatives in the district contest. Charles Minore was first, with Ida West second, in the Oratorical, and Arnold Mansfield first, with Harold Jacox second, in the Declamatory contest. Page one hundred sixteen linn tum High School Orchestra The Central High Orchestra was organized at the beginning of the second semes- ter under the leadership of Mr. Hawley, a very capable director and who was also instrumental director with the Flint Community Music Association. However, after a few weeks of very successful work, Mr. Hawley was called from the city and the orchestra consequently suffered considerably. The work was then resumed by Mr. Raymond Cook, who took Mr. Hawley’s place in the Community work of the city. The spirit was then renewed and great progress was made. Although at the time of this writing no public appearances have been made, our director is planning on giving a spring concert. In the meantime we are planning on furnishing music for the Dramatic Club and other school entertainments, as well as the Senior Play. The High School Chorus The Flint High School Chorus is the largest separate organization in the school. Its members come from all classes and number over 350. Or course, there is a preponderance of girls, just as there is in all school organizations, but what the boys lack in numbers they make up in enthusiasm and quality. The object of the chorus is the study of good music, as an educational and a cultural subject. While public performance is not the primary object, the work of the two parts of the school year usually culminates in a fine concert given in one of the public halls, and which is open to the public. This demonstration of school work is, with the exception of the public speaking department, the only real school work which the public has the privilege of seeing and hearing outside of the building. Rehearsals of the chorus are held at the opening of the afternoon sessions on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. It is unnecessary to say that there is gener- ally about a 100% attendance, unless some one of the “artists” plays “hookey.” Many interesting situations develop from time to time during the year in the chorus, particularly when some of the “brunettes” forget to leave their gum in their recita- tion room desks, and are advised by the director to “put it on their shoe.” Occasionally a member of the chorus has a lapse of memory, gets that far away look in his eye, and has to be called to time rather swiftly, but all in all the chorus period is one in which everyone is good natured and ready to work hard. During the first part of the past school year the time of the chorus was devoted to the singing of part-songs, but no concert was given in the mid-year. After the Christmas holidays work was started on the cantata, “The Rose Maiden” by Cowen, which is to be given in the Majestic Theatre Wednesday evening, June 16. A quar- tette of special soloists is to assist, and the accompaniment will be played by the Community Orchestra under the direction of Director George Oscar Bowen. Any write-up of the High School Chorus would not be a complete one without reference being made concerning the work of its splended accompanist. Miss Thelma Torrey. a student in the school. Miss Torrey has, for the past three years, been the chorus accompanist and has repeatedly demonstrated her ability to be a real support to the director and chorus. We only wish that she might continue as a student in Flint High School for many years, though it is doubtful if she shares these wishes. Paare one hundred seventeen Girls' Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, of the Flint High School, has become one of the most suc- cessful organizations in that institution. This club was organized during the school year of 1918-1919, and from the start it attracted a group of young women who are interested in music and who have seemed to thoroughly enjoy the work. This year the Club started rehearsals early in the fall, and has devoted an hour and a quarter almost every Tuesday afternoon after school to a serious study of serious music. The club membership was limited to fifty members, but nearly all the year there have been two or three substitute members to fill vacancies when regular members were absent. The attendance has averaged well over forty members present throughout the year, and this in spite of the fact that they have been held after school hours. It is hoped that some day this may be considered of sufficient importance to be given a place in the regular schedule of school hours. During the year the Glee Club has taken part in a number of school entertain- ments, assisting the public speaking department in several of its affairs. The work of the music clubs and public speaking department is closely allied and they should work together even more closely. The Club sang at an Americanization meeting held in the County Court House, and provided the entire program at two of the Sunday after- noon Community “Sings” in the Masonic Temple. One of the features of the County Teacher’s Convention this spring was a group of songs given by this club, and was greatly appreciated. At the “Rose Maiden” concert by the High School Chorus, it will have a special part, and will also provide for one of the “Interludes” in the big civic pageant to be given in June. The officers of the Girls’ Glee Club are Anna Hamilton, President; Beatrice Grover, Secretary; Harriett Marshall, Treasurer; Metha Whitney, Librarian; Hermine Weisner, Pianist; and George Oscar Bowen, Director. . 1 Page one hundred eighteen GIRLS GLEE CLUB Senior Ili-Y Club Season 1919-20 The Club’s second year of existence is now about to end. At the first meeting of the Club in September, of 1919, the following officers were elected: President, Carrol Kelly; Vice President, Don Weiss; Secretary, Daniel Swaveley; Treasurer, Errol Wood. Luncheons have been held every Thursday noon in a private dining room at the Y. M. C. A. since the first meeting. A program was arranged for the first half of the year which was accepted by the Club. This program consisted of a series of talks by prominent business men of Flint and also a business meeting once a month. Following the organization of the Club a Promotion Committee was appointed to look after the social activities of the Club. This Committee arranged several good times which were enjoyed by the Club members. The beginning of the second half of the year started with a rush which lasted until the end of the term. As per the constitution the following officers were elected: President, Errol Wood; Vice President, Raymond Riggs; Secretary, Rudolph Kagey; Treasurer. Maurice Decker. The Club, at this time, was put on a membership basis and those attending the first meeting were made charter members and from that time on the members were taken in at their request and on the vote of the Club. This was done because of the lack of space where the luncheons were served. A basket ball team was organized to complete the inter-club tournament. A campaign was started in the Club to impress on the fellows the purpose of the Club and the meaning of the Four C’s. This being successful, the same campaign was put on among the boys of the school. A mass meeting was held in Room D the sixth hour in which the proposition was put before the fellows and was unanimously accepted. With the cooperation of Mr. Parmelee it was decided to have a meeting of this kind once a month. Following this it was found necessary to have an Advisory Committee to pro- mote the affairs of the Club. This Committee was composed of the four officers and three other members of the Club who were: Mark Penoyer, Albert Linabury and Clark Abbott. This committee meets twice a month and at other urgent times. At the suggestion of one of the members of this committee meetings were held with the men members of the Faculty at which was discussed the way of increasing the school activities. It was at one of these meetings that the Honorary Athletic Banquet was suggested and approved which you all know was a great success. At the same time the Annual Senior Banquet was proposed. One of the biggest events of the year was when the Advisory Board attended the Annual Older Boys Conference of Oakland County held at Oxford, for the purpose of creating Hi-Y spirit there as there were no Hi-Y Clubs in Oakland County at that time. An orchestra was organized among the members of the Club which furnished music for different occasions U 1 Page one hundred twenty p SENIOR Hl-Y OFFICERS ______________________________________________0 Paare one hundred twenty-one FRESHMAN Hl-Y CLUB Freshman Club of Flint Nigh School The Freshman Club was organized Wednesday, October 1st, 1919. The purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the High School and Com- munity high standard of Christian character and to create better fellowship among the students in the High School. The Club is run on a four-fold basis, namely: educational, physical, social, and religious. A bronze square is awarded to each member of the club and each month he is given four credit slips which must be signed by the proper authority and returned to the secretary of the Club. If each member returns four slips for each month and continues to do so for five months, he is then charted and the bronze square is re- placed by a silver square. At the end of a period of 12 months with all his credit slips handed in, he is eligible for a gold square. He is then an all-round fellow and is expected to live up to his square which is the symbol of good character and shows ability to stick to a thing until finished. Annual membership is open to any student of the first year of High School, who is in sympathy with the purpose and who is elected by the executive committee at one of the regular meetings. A member of this club is rated by having at least 75 per cent regular attendance at regular meetings. There are no regular dues, but it may be deemed necessary to tax each member equally to defray expenses. There are three committees such as: program, publicity and promotion, each hav- ing a duty to perform through the year. If any vacancies are made in the committee the vacancy is filled bv the remaining members. The officers and the chairman of the H Pafce one hundred twenty-two FRESHMEN Hl-Y OFFICERS him� unii ■ Advisory Council and the chairman of the Committee constitute the Executive Com- mittee which has charge of all affairs of the Club. The president is ex-officio mem- ber of all committees. The Club holds regular meetings every Wednesday noon at which business is conducted and at each meeting a different phase of work is presented by experts and prominent business men of Flint. Each phase of the four-fold program is rep- resented every month. The activities of the club have been promoted on a four-fold basis with lots of pep in them. The Club being the winner of the Junior Basket Ball League received a silver cup which was presented to it for winning every game played by it this year during the league held at the Y. M. C. A. every Friday night. The Club has taken great interest in athletic affairs and has put forth every effort to organize a team for every athletic activity that the school has taken part in. The club has also promoted activities along social, relig:ous and educational lines, as well as physical such as parlor athletic meet, tramp social, dog roast, aquatic meet, ghost walk, gym stunts, educational talks and tours, hare and hound chase, health and religious talks and many other interesting trips and tours. The Club is an all-round club and is alive and wide-awake and ready to put all energy at stake. A peppy club for a peppy fresh.

One time wen I brought 'im home with me she grabbed the broom stick an I guess she would of hit me with it. but jest wen she got pretty near where I was I accidently fell down an hit my nose on the corner of the cubbard. Wen she seen the blood she got excited and fergot wot she was gonto do. Everbody thot she did hit me tho cause an ole woman that lives cross the street an wot can’t see very well, tole everbody that she seen Mag run after me with the broom an that she hit me on the nose an knocked me down. Well, I didn’t take ’im home with me fer a long time after that. The next time we got together we went to Tom an Jerry’s place. That wus a nice place t’go because everbody was singing; they wus so happy. Mike Grogan an Barney Hanagan was there an they was discussin the war ques- tion. They talked about Wilson “Keepin us out a war” an Makin the World Safe fer Democracy” an Free Speach” an “The rights o’ Labor” and “The freedom of Oirland” an a lot of other things. Wen they sed “Ireland ought a bee free” I sed “Ireland was better off under English rule because they needed English protectshun.” Wen I sed that Mike says “You bloomin ignoramus, I will show yezs that the Oirish can protect thimselves and at that he poked me a straight right hander right slam on the end of my nose. I didn’t like that cause it was right where I bumped it wen I fell down, so I went out an tole a cop about it. Wen I told him. se sed I was disturbin the peace an I had better go with im.” He took me up before judge O’Toole an the judge sez “Wats the charges?” He sez “Making inflamatory remarks an incitin to riot.” The judge says Guilty or not guilty?” Then I explained to the judge wot happened he sed, ‘Ten dollars or thairty days.” I didn’t have the Ten so they took me over to the lock up. I didn’t sleep very much as long as my fren stayed with me but in the night when I was asleey he left me. Wen I woked up in the morn’ I felt pretty lonesome. I had a headache too an account of over taxin my brain in discussion of big questions. May came over an paid the ten dollars with some money she’d been savin to get a new wrapper. Well I went home with er. She didn’t say very much an acted kinder happy. Wen I asked her wot made her so chipper under the circumstances she went and got the momin paper and jest handed it to me. I sed right cross the top in big head lines “Dead! John Barleycorn passed away at midnight, January 16. 1920.” P cm huruir««i thirty IN THE SCHOOLROOM Fern Young. 'Twas a hot and sultry day— A sultry day in June, A breeze blew through the schoolroom door Into the busy room. The boys and girls were restless, And the teacher restless, too, She’d almost lost her patience, as Quite often teachers do. Now Johnnie Jones had just received A note from Willie Brown Asking him to skip next day And see a show down town. But Johnnie Jones to Willie Brown Did not sit very nigh And Johnnie wondered how he could Send back the note’s reply. Just then a breeze blew through the room, And John hit on a scheme He let the note fly from his hand An artful act, I deem. And luckily the breeze did take It straight to Willie Brown; Unluckily just then Miss Smith Did raise her head and frown. “Young William, stand and read that note,” Miss Smith threw back her head. Young William stood and cleared his throat, “All right,” young William said. Then he sat down, Miss Smith stood up, “Do you hear what I say!” “Please stand and read that note you have, Obey me right away.” So William stood, threw out his chest, And with great pomp began, “All right” was all the rascal said, And then sat down again. Then back to William’s desk Miss Smith Did make a hurried flight. She snatched the note and from it read The one lone word “Allright.” PaKe one hundred thirty-one 1 “Dat sho’ am ’stonishin’ news, sah; I didn’t have no s’picion yo’ was aimin’ to marry de Widder Waddles.” “Needar did I, sah, ’till I found out dat her late lamentable husband done left a silk hat, fine and shiny and ’most as good as new.” Ed.—“Please come out in the garden with me.” T. Schippers—“Oh, no, I mustn’t go out without a chaperone.” Ed.—“But we don’t need one.” Thelma—“Then I don’t want to go.” “Laurence, can you give me a sentence with ‘defense’ in it?” “Yes Sir, De cat is on de fence.” Clifford Cowell—“Time must hang heavily on your hands.” Hazel Horning—“Why?” Clifford—“Well, you wear such a large wrist-watch.” Mother (Looking into nursery just as little Herman kisses his sister)—“It is pleasant to see how you love each other.” Herman—“Oh, no, Mamma, we are playing at papa and governess.” MY MISTAKE W. Lake (Entering Chemistry Lab. from office)—“Well, boys, Pratt can’t coma today. His water pipes are froze up.” Mr. Pratt (Coming from behind desk)—“That’s the time you were fooled I’m here already.” Poor Lake felt like two cents and looked like a half. SWEET ROMANCE “Do you love me,” said the paper bag to the sugar. “I’m just wrapped up in you.” replied the sugar. “You sweet thing,” murmured the paper bag. HAVE HOPE Ruth Ellis to Stan Huyck in French Class—“Now, if you’re not any better today than you were tomorrow, I’ll send you down to Mr. Parmelee.” Dan and Ruth were sitting side by side on the davenport. An innocent button- hook lying on the other side of Ruth was the cause of all the trouble Dan—“Just a minute, Ruth, let me get that button-hook,” and he put his arm around her to get the hook. Ruth—“Leave it there, leave it there. Aw shoot, leave it there.” CORRECT Mr. Pratt—“t hat kind of an odor has N O (laughing gas) ?” Fitch—“An unconscious odor.” “I think the baby has your hair,” said the new nurse admiringly to her mistress Gracious! exclaimed the mother, looking up from her novel, “Run into the nursery and take it away from her! She will ruin it!” ,, . Did. y°u e,Yer wonder how a black cow can eat green grass and give white milk that makes yellow butter? Maybe it’s the same as this—a black raspberry is red when it’s green. BEWARE It is all right to call her dearie, but you mustn’t call her “Hun.” J] Pa e one hundred thirty-two EVER SEE ’EM. D. Swavely—“Say, Laurence, isn’t it about time you were getting married?” L. Daly—“No, Dan, women are just like elephants. I like to look at ’em, but I’d hate to own one.” P. Vercoe—“Did you see that girl smile at me?” M. Boyd—“Why, yes, she was too polite to laugh out loud.” Caesar’s “I came, I saw, I conquered,” has been considered some war wire, but it hasn’t anything on ths telegram Alletta N. received from one of her soldier boys in camp. “Deloused, demobilized, and delighted.” Reo had a Thomas cat Which warbled like Caruso, A neighbor used a base ball bat, Now Thomas doesn’t do so. ABSENT MINDED Caroline—“Why have you quarrelled with Wesley?” M Tanner—“Because he proposed to me last night.” Caroline—“Well, there’s no harm in that.” Marjorie—“But I accepted him the night before.” Mother—“Did Charles kiss you last night, Mary?” Mary S.—“There was a slight labial juxtaposition as Charles departed, Mother dear, but I assure you it was only momentary, and therefore innocuous.” Papa Wert—“I won’t have you marrying a mere clerk. That young man must keep away from here until he has an interest in his firm.” Dorthea—“Why, Dad, he has that now. The manager told him that he’d have to take some interest in his work or lose his job and he has already done it.” E. Spohn (hopefully)—“What does college bred mean, Dad?” Dad—“Merely a big loaf, Earle.” THE OLD STORY “I punished you merely to show my love for you,” said Mr. Manney after chas- tisement. “That’s all right.” sobbed Russell, “But it’s a g-good thing for you I ain’t b-b-big enough to return your 1-1-love, that’s all.” “That new recruit must have been a bookkeeper.” “Why so?” “I noticed him trying to put his bayonet behind his ear.” F. McCorkell— We had more then a mile to go to get out of the forest when we heard the howls of a pack of wolves behind us. Now, I could hear their panting breath. At last I felt their muzzles touch me when-”. Freshie—“You must have felt glad, didn’t you?” F. Me.—“Glad! Why?” “When you found they had their muzzles on.” AS IN REEL LIFE. “You really love my daughter?” Mr. Snook asked of A. Linabury. “Love her,” he exclaimed. “Why, I would die for her! For one soft glance from those sweet eyes, I would hurl myself from yonder cliff and perish—I would—” “Hold on, my boy,” said Mr. Snook shaking his head, “I’m something of a liar myself and I think one is enough for our small family.” “But didn’t you get off once before to attend your grandmother’s funeral?” “Yes, Sir. she came near being buried alive that time, Sir.” II — - n Page one hundred thirty-three A PLAY Written by------ Suggested by---- Book Author----- Scenario by----- Produced by----- Directed by----- Photographed by ..........K.

Cresswell (Who had just left the door open on a cold day) :— “Cussie, you must have been born in a barn.” W. Cresswell:—“No, Sonny, I was born in a saloon where they have swinging doors.” WHAT WOULD HIS DADDY SAY? Miss Lyon:—“Mr. Linabury, you are doing very poor work, why did you take Spanish?” Mr. Linabury:—“So I could order them correctly at the rail just over the Texas line.” Teacher:—“Mr. Ferenz, tell what you know about the Mongolian race.” Henry Ferenz:—“I wasn’t there.

I wrant you.” It was a cold and wintry night. A man stood in the street: His aged eyes were filled with tears His boots were filled with feet. How much did Philadelphia Pa? Whose grass did K. C. Mo?

Salaries A Flint school teacher was cashing her monthly check at the bank. The teller apologized for the filthy condition of the bills, saying, “I hope you’re not afraid of microbes?” “Not a bit of it,” said the teacher. “I’m sure no microbes could live on my salary.” Bates:—“I have a terrible toothache and want something to cure it.” Smith—“Now, you don’t need any medicine. I had a toothache yesterday and had my girl kiss me and so consoled me that the pain soon passed away. Why don’t ycu try the same?” Bates:—“I think I will. Where does she live?” An epitaph in an old cemetery reads like this: Remember, friend as you pass by, As you are now, so was I; As I am now thus you must be, So be prepared to follow me. There had been written underneath in pencil: To follow you I’m not content Till I find out which way you went. Economy is going without something you might want in case you should, some day, want something you probably won’t want. School Boys. “Say, Dad, remember that story you told me about when you were expelled from school?” “Yes.” “Well, I was just thinking, dad, how true it is that history repeats itself.” Valentine (Tearing up the road in his bus) :—“We’ve g-g-got it at 1-1-last.” Daly—“Got what?” Valentine—“Perpetual motion—I can’t stop it!” P. Hefflebower:—“Why did they make the middle finger of the Statue of Liberty only 11 inches long?” D. Eaton:—“I don’t know, why did they?” P.

A motor car was rushing at him from one direction. A motor cycle from another, a steam truck was coming from behind, and a taxicab was speedily approaching. Zip-zip! Zing-glug! He looked up and saw directly above him an aeroplane in rapid descent. There was but one chance. He was standing upon a manhole cover. Quickly seizing it he lifted the lid and jumped into the hole just in time to be run over by an underground train. Jack Rcigel:—“Do you know, darling, I used to kiss the very stamps on the letters you sent me, because I knew they had touched your sweet lins.” D.
