I certainly agree with you, Peggy, when you say that the class of 1921 is the most remarkable class that has been graduated or ever will graduate from Flint High School. Of course, I don’t know much about the history of its first year, be- cause I didn’t belong to the gang that year, but then, I’ve heard all about it. Say, Peggy, was it true that the Freshmen were victorious in the Fresh-Soph rush in 1918? I heard that one day in September a few Freshies were quite startled upon finding a notice tacked on one of the doors and after some inquiry it was explained to them by the more learned that it was a challenge from the Sophs. I suppose we were awfully green once upon a time, weren’t we? 0 yes! and were you one of the shining stars of the class who received a little red badge on Honor Day? I suppose that was quite an event. Probably they did not fail to display them before the upper classmen, did they? And were Exams quite hard that year, Peggy? I heard they were and also that about fifty per cent of the class contracted the quite common disease, acceleration of the heart. Did you go to the picnic at Lakeside that June? I suppose that some sort of frolic was necessary to celebrate the end of that year of hard struggling. Oh, how good it seemed to get back again in the fall and to be able to organize our class and elect officers! Do you remember that lank and leany fellow, Donny Johnson? I think we were very wise to choose him for a president, don’t you? And I think we displayed our good judgment in electing Gladys Sills for Vice-President. You know her, she goes with__________________ Edwin Dodds was very successful in safe- guarding our riches, too. He’s that good looking fellow. Yes! and Marjory Todd proved to be a very efficient Secretary. If I remember correctly Harold Dodds, Edna Laeuger, Caroline Stone, Clark Perry and James Setchfield we appointed to draw up our constitution. And you know the time when the order was issued that everyone must secure a flu mask before the next morning, because two or thre flu germs had been dis- covered floating around in Room J. Wasn’t that a strange sight? My! weren’t they horrid things to wear? I believe I would rather have worn gas masks. Yes, that’s so! they did close school for two weeks, didn’t they? And then in June, didn’t we have a grand and glorious time at the picnic? Let’s see! Uh! Huh! it was at Long Lake. O Boy! that ice cream was good. Then in the fall of 1919 when we returned to school, didn’t it seem good to be able to sit on the main floor, and wasn’t that a hard boiled class of 1920? But then! I guess we showed ’em we were made of good material. O! Yes, we soon called a class meeting and elected officers. Oh! Yes! Peggy, do you remember how excited Jimmy Setchfield was, when he found out that he was to be our president and Mary Stevenson our vice-president? Uh! Huh! those were good speeches that Jack Harlan and Marjory Todd made after they were elected Treasurer and Secretary. 1 should say that was a keen way the Seniors had of introducing us into society. It was a nice party, tho’, wasn’t it? Good orchestra and lot of punch. Let’s see, that one was at the Dryden, and then in the spring we gave them a party at the Parish House, didn’t we? Yes. Uh! Huh! We even had a grand march and a fine program. Say Peggy! that was too bad you couldn’t go to that picnic we had at Long Lake in June. Oh Boy! but we had a peach of a time. Oodles and o-o-o-o-o-d-l-e-s of ice cream to eat. Did you ever hear about the boys swiping the sandwiches? You HISTORY IQ2 I PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1921 (continued) didn’t? Well, there was a certain bunch of fellows, we found out who they were, too, and they swiped about half of the sandwiches out of one of the cars. Yes. Uh! Huh! he was the ring leader. 0! I know he’s always into everything. I’ll say we all did feel mighty important when we came back in the fall as dig- nified and happy Seniors. O! weren’t you out at our first class meeting when we elected our officers for the last time and will you ever forget how delighted “Happy” Hazard looked when he saw that the votes cast were in favor of him, and also that he was to be assisted by Mary Neill? You know that girl that has such pretty hair. And weren’t there a good many candidates for treasurer? But Harold Dodds was the winner. Who’s he? Why, he’s that other good looking Dodds boy’s good looking brother. Yes, Marjory Todd is very modest, isn’t she? You know she didn’t want to take the office of secretary this last year, but everyone seemed to want her, so finally she consented. Say Peggy! don’t you think that the Arc Light is a good paper for a High School? Yes, that’s right, we do owe it all to the Cadets. I think it promotes school spirit, too. Oh! you haven’t forgotten what a good time we all had at the Senior-Junior party, have you? The Juniors didn’t act very green, did they? Wasn’t that a spiffy party the Juniors gave us at the Dryden ? O! That’s right, we had a sleigh ride. Remember, we were supposed to be in by 10:00. Wasn’t it great of the Coggins to open up their home to us? Then there’s class day coming yet. What kind of a dress are you going to have for that, Peg? Oh! Yes, that will be darling! That’s right, we’ll have to have another dress for our picnic. Oh! I wonder where we’ll go. Yes! Graduation day will be the greatest day of all. Oh! My dear, I just dread to think of it, because I just know I’ll flunk. Good gracious! It’s nine-thirty now and my physics notebook is due tomorrow morning the first hour— —By Dorothy McFarlen. Page Iijty Pa f jifly-one PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE This is a journey compared to which “Gulliver’s Travels” are as a summer evening’s stroll. June 1st, 1930, found me starting out to win a Ten Thousand Dollar bet that I could tour the world in eighty days. “Tickets, please.” I handed my tickets over to the porter with a smile, for I was confident that at the end of the eighty days I would find myself in possession of $10,000. “Lower Six in car one. Right this way, please.” The car was dimly lighted, as it was nearly midnight and time for the train to leave Flint. “Look who’s here! Where did you come from and where are you going?” were the questions hurled at me by a young man who had just emerged from the berth opposite my own. Before I could speak he had grabbed my hand and was shaking it violently. “Why, Sid Stewart, I thought you were in New York.” “So I was, forty-eight hours ago, but I have signed a contract with the Ross-Setchfield Follies for my Black and White Harmony Kids. We’re a real bunch now. Wess Wells and Vernon Hilsinger are with me.” I arrived in Chicago at eight-thirty and found that I could not leave before twelve. As I had three hours to dispose of, I decided to ’phone Gladys Sills. The Republican National Convention had been in session about tsvo days and the streets were packed. While waiting for Gladys, I amused myself by watching the passers- by. Imagine my surprise when Don Johnson’s voice was heard at my elbow. He was surrounded by a crowd of politicians but he seemed to be the “Big Boss” and the conversation confirmed this. “Some pull, that. Howe’s running strong and is sure to get the nomination for President and he can just thank me for that.” Gladys arrived at this moment looking like a million dollars, and well she might, for her husband is President of the American Steel Trust Company. “We’re going to run out to the stock yards, as I want you to see Don Pidd, who is the biggest meat packer in the world. He has a fine staff of workers and you no doubt remember Harold Rice, who is his right hand man.” “Stock yards! Why select such a place as that?” “Don’t worry, it’s not that bad. Ivan Boyd, inventor of the Potato-Bug Extermina- tor, has just patented a new perfume which is used extensively by the management.” After a flying trip to the stock yards, we stopped at the Misses Leona and Ethel Allen’s Tea Shop for lunch. From experience gained in school days, Walter Lake was calling the trains as I arrived at the station and, hastily bidding Gladys good-bye, I rushed for my train. Passing through the gates, I just had time to wave my hand at Robert Baker, who was busy loading mail into the mail cars. The train pulled out and I was feeling very much alone. “If I might trouble you for your ticket, Miss.” Carl Erickson, dressed in a regular uniform, buttons ’n everything, reached for my ticket. I recog- nized him at once, although we had not seen each other since the day we graduated from the old Flint High. “Pop Corn! Peanuts! Cracker-Jack! Chocolates and Chewing Gum!” The voice sounded familiar and glancing around I saw Harold Hiscock coming up the aisle. Across from me sat Helen Brothers, who told me she was traveling for the Harris and Lile Hosiery Company. I borrowed her Ladies’ Home Journal and was soon deeply interested in a spicy story written by Ila Wood. Turning over the page I found the “Advice to the Lovelorn,” edited by Ilene Silver, and the fashion column, by Mary Becker. At Kansas City, Beth Stalker boarded the train. A few minutes conversation re- vealed the fact that she was on her way to Oklahoma where she intended taking up work among the Indians. The second morning on the train found me longing for excitement and I did not have long to wait, for, arriving in Denver, the familiar cry of the newsboy shouting “Wuxtra! Wuxtra! All about the big bank robbery” was heard. A couple of ex-convicts had entered the Colorado State Bank and escaped PROPHECY Page iJty-lu o prospectus nineteen hundred twenty-one in a Perkins-Pike Bi-plane with two million dollars. Glenn Young, Denver’s famous detective, was working on the case. Lyndle Martin, President of the bank, had offered an enormous reward for the capture of the criminals. Harry Engel, car- toonist, with his well known production, furnished considerable amusement for the next few minutes. On the social page, Georgetta Allen, Countess of Argyle, was shown in her riding habit. She was at Reno awaiting her divorce. Albert Hazard, successor to Charlie Chaplin, had just opened a week’s engagement at the Austin Theatre. Various advertisements caught my eye, such as “Menter’s Soap, best for all purposes”—“Go to Larkworthy’s for your next Party Gown”—“Eat Rudland’s Bread.” At Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Marklund and Mathews Chautauqua was making a big hit. With them were Thelma Reynolds, Story Teller for the children, and Ernestine Barnes as Director of the Ladies’ Symphony Orchestra. I arrived in Los Angeles Monday morning and immediately went to the Cook, Thompson, McGlone Steamship Corporation. Mr. Martin Stiff, the manager, ad- vised that my steamer sailed the next morning at eight o’clock. I left the office wondering what I could do to pass away the time. Suddenly I bumped into some one and turning to apologize I recognized Irma Shirley, a stenographer on her way to work. She was in a great hurry, but she handed me her card, saying, “Drive out to Dorothy Linton’s studio. She twill have plenty of time to entertain you.” I hailed a taxi and to my surprise Bruce Layman drove up in a Riegel Super-Six. Arriving at the studio I found everyone busy. They were filming “Along Came Mary,” from the novel by Norma Addison. It was directed by George Burren and Paul Lineau was the leading man. It was a terribly exciting play. During an intermission, Dor- othy informed me that her marvelous gowns were designed by Marion Steinbach. Earl Kenewell had charge of the erection of the artificial city used in this produc- tion. Returning to Los Angeles I immediately went on board the steamer. At dinner I was seated beside a young lady whose face looked familiar. It was Thelma Moore, on her way back to Hawaii to teach the natives domestic science. She told me that Elda Walker was dietitian in the hospital connected with her mission. Howard Hill was manager of the pearl fisheries in Hawaii, while Tyler Holmes and his wife were spending a few months in Honolulu securing local color for his new novel. We had a very pleasant trip to Hawaii and I deeply regretted not being able to stop over for a few days to attend the ball given by Governor-General Siegel. But I was out to win Ten Thousand Dollars, so could not loiter. About three days out from Honolulu our wireless operator, Clinton Fitch, picked up the message that a large steamer had taken fire a few miles away. We rushed to the rescue and reached there just in time to save the passengers and crew, who had already taken to the life boats. Captain Milford Boyd of the ill-fated ship told us that they had sailed from the Philippines and were on their way to San Francisco. A company of marines, among whom were Harold Dickinson, Donald Embury, Ralph Carpenter and Christian Brohn, were returning home from service. It was a beautiful morning when I awoke to find myself in the harbor of Yoko- hama. I was very anxious to go ashore, as I had notified President Huyck of the American Engineering College of Japan of the day of my arrival and wanted to make the most of my opportunity of seeing Japan. I never would have recognized him but for his curly wig and ever ready smile. We spent the morning sight-seeing and it was just noon when we arrived at the college. To my surprise I found a host of old friends gathered there. President Huyck had arranged quite a little reception for me. Among the guests were Prof. Oliver Hatch and his wife, and Charlie Whitacker, who could talk of nothing but his new project of canning heat from the volcano of Fujiyama. I was delighted to see Jessie MacDonald, secretary to Clifford Cowell, president of the largest American export house in Japan. During luncheon I received a telegram from Kenneth Buck, expressing his regret that he could not be present, as he was personally conducting the First Annual Auto Show in Tokyo. I spent the time until three o’clock telling them about home. They were ■ ■ _Q PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE surprised to learn that Raymond Paynter had won the golf championship in the United States and had made a great success socially; also that Alice Agans had re- cently been admitted to the bar and was practicing law in New Orleans. I promised to send them all a copy of Olive Moran’s latest book, “Reasons Why I Never Married.” They were actually startled to hear that Donovan Dyer had become an evangelistic preacher, in fact a second Billy Sunday. They wanted me to prolong my visit but when I told them the object of my trip, they accompanied me to the boat and wished me luck. After eight hours pleasantly spent aboard the “Mary Ellen,” which I afterwards learned had been built by the Brieker Shipbuilding Corporation and christened for our former classmate, I arrived at Shanghai. As it was late I went directly to the Hotel Zimmerman. The following morning I called on Janet Rollo, whose husband had charge of the Y. M. C. A. in that city. I found her in the garden playing with her young son and daughter. She had a beautiful home and, in showing me through it, I noticed several pictures of our old friends of whom I had lost track. Among them I saw Ruth Parker, who was just then traveling in Australia with the Mansfield- Roumn Opera Company. Anna K. Trabue was in Petrograd with the American Re- lief Service and Margaret Dorman was back in her own country in charge of the National Red Cross organization. Gordon Goodfellow was promoting a home for Merry Widows in Constantinople. She also showed me a little gold nugget which she said Ralph Button had sent her from his mine in Peru. It was time to go before I realized it, so Janet said she would drive me to the dock in her Bendle roadster, which she assured me was the best car built, and I knew it could not be otherwise with Cecil as the manufacturer. But the car refused to start; now wasn’t that just like Cecil? Just thirty minutes left, too, in which to make the boat. Visions of that Ten Thousand Dollars came and as suddenly disappeared. The street car was our last resort but we arrived too late. I felt very much provoked, when “Great Scott! What are you doing here?” brought me to my senses and there stood Brooke Peters staring me in the face. A hasty explanation followed. “Whoopee! Here’s a chance for Motorboat Peters to be a hero,” and he led us down to the wharf. “All aboard for Hongkong” and Shanghai was soon left behind. On the way Peters told me that he was spending the summer with Tsung-Li Yamen, grandson of the late Emperor. Thanks to Motorboat Peters, I reached Hongkong in plenty of time to make con- nections with my steamer, so I telegraphed Marjory Todd, who is a missionary in In- dia, that I would arrive in Calcutta the next afternoon. I was surprised to find Elva Langdon in the telegraph office but she explained that she was traveling Asia as a reporter for the Flint Saturday Night and since Jack Harlan was now the editor, I didn’t wonder at the world wide popularity of our home paper. Elva was sailing for Calcutta on the same steamer, so we had a pleasant visit. What do you think! She told me that Neva Hewitt had married an explorer and was now somewhere in Siberia. Helen Houston had never quite gotten over her botany craze and was study- ing plant formation in Central China. Dorothy Blodgett was with her as photog- rapher. George Rice was engrossed in his new occupation of selling straw hats in Alaska. About three o’clock the next afternoon we steamed into the harbor of Calcutta. Marjory was on the dock waiting for us and with her was Helen Hardy, whom I had not seen for years. She had married Sir Reginald Fitzgerald, who was stationed in Calcutta with the English army. It sure seemed good to get back on land after so much travel by water. I was so tired and Marjory asked so many questions about home that I made my answers as short as possible—something like this: “Yes, Mary Stevenson is leading the younger set in Boston Society this year and Thelma Mater is in the same city teaching in Miss Johnson’s musical conservatory. Bea Grover, did you say? She and Pearl Hoffman have charge of the Battle Creek Sanitarium and I understand that Stephen M. Gelenger is their chief surgeon. Dorothy McFarlen eloped with Count de Lerious, a Spanish nobleman, and went to South America. The last I heard of Claribell Clark and Thelma Colvin they were teaching in a Government school in Panama. Betty Conner has made a big hit with New York and has her name in blaz- ing letters on Broadway. The sign is especially attractive, Charles Dusenbery be- —--E Pane fifty-four PROSPECTUS nineteen hundred twenty-one ing the designer. Dear old Caroline Beach was always wanting to help someone. She is now in Philadelphia doing social service work. Caroline Clark with her hus- band and four children have a poultry farm a few miles out of Flint. She seems perfectly contented. Margaret Hayes says she loves the pigs and chickens but pre- fers something more thrilling; she is a successful aviatrix now in the Government air mail service. By the way, Marjory, how do you like my suit? Madelon Wells designed it for me. She has a wonderful establishment in Chicago and Lucy Engel is her chief assistant.” I hardly had time to rest before it was time to continue my journey. I left Calcutta at midnight and after a few hours sleep was awakened by a terrible crash. Bang! I soon learned that we had had a headon collision with an Eastern Flyer. In a few moments the passengers were gathered in groups discussing the possibilities of continuing our journey. For once, I was very much put out, as a few hours might mean Ten Thousand Dollars and I said as much. At that, up walked Raymond Morgan, President of the Eastern Railway Corporation. I explained the reason for my haste and he immediately called one of his men, gave him orders to get an ele- phant at no matter what cost. At noon the next day, I entered Bombay, after a long, tiresome trip, and immediately made inquiries regarding the steamer for Aden. On entering the steamship office, I found Maurice Decker smiling over a recent snap shot of Dallas Brown in a hammock, comfortably smoking a huge cigar. He is owner and manager of an orange grove in California. Maurice was in Bombay play- ing polo and he said he was sure some winner in the game. From him, I learned that Loris Welch had been disappointed in love and was now writing poetry, also that down in South Africa Dorothy Farrow had established a Y. W. C. A. Leaving Bombay that same afternoon, I spent a couple of days on the Indian Ocean. We stopped in Aden for a few hours to take on more passengers. “Yes, sir, a very successful deal, that. One thousand of the best Arabian horses ready for shipment to the U. S. A.” The voice sounded familiar and, leaning over the railing, I caught a glimpse of Albert Olson talking to Reada Ford and her husband, who is manager of America’s largest circus. I was certainly glad to meet my old friends and from Reada I learned that among the chief attractions at their circus were Lena Warner, advertised as the most accurate fortune teller in the world, Clifford Hall, hippodrome motorcycle rider, and Mile. Jebavy, daring equestrienne whose perform- ance never failed to please the public. It was late in July when I reached Cairo and I should have continued my jour- ney at once but I knew that Gladys Woodin and Lois Adams were in Egypt at that time studying the art of embalming. Gladys confessed to me that the men in the U. S. were so afraid that the weaker sex would surpass them that they had to go clear to Egypt to study. Lois heartily agreed with that and added that they had already learned a few things that would make the men open their eyes. The girls drove me to Alexandria in their automobile and I sailed at once for Athens, arriving on sched- ule time. Shirley Jesiek, studying Grecian Art and Architecture, met me at the boat and showed me the ruins of that once wonderful city. In our course of sight-seeing we met Marion Pettis and Lillian Hocking, who are in Athens collecting antiques for the new museum which Lillian Schwartz is establishing in Spokane. It was all very inter- esting, but I couldn’t stay very long, as I was due in Rome the first of August. In Rome I found Marie Anderson busy securing material for her new treatise on the “Origin of Rome.” I stopped in Florence, Italy, and had tea with Helen Clark in her beautiful Italian villa. I was surprised to find Mary Neill and Ruperta George spending their vacation there. Mary had just completed a successful tour of the United States in behalf of her newly organized “Club for the Promotion of Happy Homes for Bache- lors.” Ruperta was just resting after a strenuous year in charge of the Baltimore Insane Asylum. I left Florence for Geneva, Switzerland, that evening, arriving the next day. A Conference of the Allies had just convened, and I was glad to find that some mem- bers of our old class had become prominent in world wide affairs. Walker Evatt had a: Pugt Ji y- ir n: PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE been sent by Vern Cresswell, Secretary of State, and Jeanette Barney was repre- senting the Women’s League. Pearl Catsman, Social Secretary to Jeanette, was extremely busy completing preparations for a dinner dance to be given that evening. I was delighted to accept her kind invitation to attend. Among the guests were Maud Terwilliger, special reporter for the New York Herald, and Elizabeth Labinsky, suc- cessor to the great Pavlowa, who favored us with an exhibition of her latest dances. The party was a huge success and I left Geneva feeling that it was good to be alive. At Paris I looked up Harriet Casterlin. She was just leaving her apartment but promised to dine with me that evening. She was posing for M. Robespierre, renowned Parisian artist. One o’clock found me lunching at the Hotel du Prince Murat with Cerrine Ormiston. She has her own beauty parlor in Faris and is con- templating enlarging it on account of the enormous patronage received. Lois Riley, tutor in EngFsh to the young son of the President of France, and Bernice Scroggie, buyer for the New York Cloak and Suit Company, joined us at Le Grand Theatre Municipal, where we listened with admiration to the marvelous performance by Cecile Giguere, violinist. I arranged to sail from Brest directly to New York and was pleased to find Alma Mueller and Shirley Lawcock listed among the passengers. The trip across the At- lantic was extremely rough and the third day out I was more than glad to have Dr. Ruth Gundry call on me. She gave me some of “Dr. Cashin’s Pills for Poor People” which she claimed would cure anything. Thanks to the kindly assistance of Darwin Wines, protector of Uncle Sam’s rights in the New York Custom’s house, I '«as only held up a few minutes. Back in the U. S. again with three days to spare and Ten Thousand Dollars as good as won! I decided to spend a day in New York and another in Washington. It’s a good thing I did, because I certainly heard lots of news. Winifred Kellogg was having her ups and downs in life by running an elevator in the Biltmore Hotel; Velva Green was an instructor in the Carnegie Library School; Wilma Adams was pleasantly en- gaged in beautifying New York as a landscape gardener; Ora Wilson held a very enviable position in the hearts of hundreds of girls. Why not? She was Pay-mis- tress for the large firm of Feinman and Ferguson. Helen Romang, famous mind reader, had been drawing large crowds in New York, especially a large practice among the ladies, and I learned that Donna Wise haunted the theatre daily, trying to find out if true love would last. Florence Thompson and Aida Wolverton had just opened a fashionable millinery establishment and Lulu Wood was valuably assisting them with her advertisements of “Hats that are dreams.” Mildred Littlejohns was in Washington in charge of the country-wide Canning Contest. Senator Caroline Stone, through her persuasive powers, had succeeded in having a bill passed compelling old maids to pay an annual head tax. Metha Whit- ney and Mildred Wertman were complaining bitterly and openly stated that they would not support her at the next election. In Washington I also met Harold Dodds, who was demonstrating the new Flint Flyer recently put on the market by the Nel- son and Wright Company. He expected to return to Flint the next morning and in- vited me to accompany him. You may be sure I accepted without hesitation. It was a wonderfully clear morning and the Flint Flyer was certainly built for comfort as well as for speed. We passed over Pittsburg low enough to distinguish an advertisement for Atchin- son Chewing Gum and I readily recognized the artistic talent of our old friend, Lawilda Foster, who, Harold told me, had gone into bill board advertising on a large scale. At noon we stopped at Sharon, Pennsylvania. Among the crowd that wit- nessed our landing were Traffic Officer Loss Downer and Mayor Shroyer, who gave us a hearty welcome. We lunched at the Fuller Cafe and the cashier was none other than Henrietta Brohn. Thelma Randolph was in Sharon that day addressing the Chamber of Commerce on the subject, “Chickens—Past, Present and Future.” Pass- ing over Akron, Ohio, I saw Rose Flood on the top of the forty-eight story Stadler Building making up her weather report for the next day and I am sure she prophesied rain. 0------------------ □ Pate 1 is-Six _______________________——— ■■ ------------------ I PROSPECTUS nineteen hundred twenty-one It was a wonderful trip and Harold made it especially interesting by telling me where some of the girls in our old class were and what they were doing. Evelyn Davis is Physical Director in the Mary M. Townsend Seminary and Clara Spillane is Instructor in English in the same school. Frances Steffes and Genev ene Barkham own the largest confectionery store in Flushing and make a practice of giving away Sullivan Chocolate Bars every Saturday night. Hilda Hameline is owner of a store which rivals Kresge’s in Ortonville, where she hands out some wonderful bargains. Marion Sanford is engaged to a Professor of Greek at the University of Michigan. At the Genesee County Fair, Bernadette Coggins had just won first place with her prize pig, and Ida Downer, who was one of the judges, was urging her to take it to the State Fair. Lucille Ferrel is selling insurance for the Johns-Kennedy Life In- surance Company. Of course, she claims it is the best proposition on the market. Everything was going smoothly and I was complimenting Harold on the merits of the machine when something went wrong with the ignition and we were forced to make a landing in an open field a few miles from Oxford. It was seven o’clock and I must reach Flint by ten o’clock or lose that Ten Thousand Dollars. Horrors! Just think,T had made the tour of the world in eighty days and now the thought of losing the bet was unbearable. We were several miles from the electric line, so there was nothing to do but walk until we could get assistance. We stopped at the first farm house and found that it was the home of Gladys Geopfert. She willingly loaned us her Flivver and insisted on driving us to Flint herself. There was nothing tame about that ride and we arrived at the City Hall in Flint at just 9:55. I had won my bet. To do this I had employed every means of conveyance, steamers, railways, motor- boats, elephants, automobiles, aeroplanes and a Ford. But wrhat then? What had I gained by leaving home? Nothing, do you say? Nothing, perhaps, but news of every member of the old Class of ”21. Truly, would you not, for less than this, make the tour of the world? —By Leata Harder Page fifty-seven Page tjly-eight PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE The Cadet Company this year is one of the finest Central High Sehool has ever known. The Corps is composed of eighty-three men. The Company was organized this year with Stephen M. Gelenger, captain; John Lucas, first lieutenant, and Walter Lake, second lieutenant. Perhaps the most unique thing the Cadets undertook was the publish- ing of the “Are Light”, a monthly publication of real worth. They were very successful in this work. The Cadet Hop this year was one of the biggest social events of the season. It was held in the ball-room of the Hotel Durant and was well attended. The Cadets participated in the Armistice Day parade, the parade on Memorial Day and on Baseball Boosters Day when Flint played her first game of the season in the Michigan-Ontario League. Toward the last of the year Captain Gelenger appointed a number of the boys to enroll in the Reserve Officers Training Camp, at Camp Grant this summer.

Page sixty ihree The Dramatic Club began its second year by electing the following officers: President, Raymond Riggs; Vice-President, James Howe; Secretary, Elva Langdon; Treasurer, John Lucas. This organization is connected indirectly with the public speaking depart- ment, as most of its members are students who take public speaking. In the carnival which was given by the school, the Dramatic Club took an active part, having several side-shows. The members entertained the debaters from Ann Arbor at a pot-luck supper and a dancing party. The big event of the year was the banquet which was given in honor of all who took part in the carnival. This took place at the Parish House which was artis- tically decorated in Hallowe’en decorations. Beth Olds Tyler, teacher of the public speak- ing department, is the patroness of the club and it is through her efforts and the hearty cooperation of the members that the club is a success. THE DRAMATIC CLUB Page sixty-four PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE SOCIETY GIRLS' CLUB PARTIES “Why, do you mean to tell me you didn’t attend the circus the Girls’ Club gave Feb. 24th at the Y. W. C. A.? Your mother certainly was ill at a most inopportune time, but I'll try and tell you about it, altho I could hardly do it justice. ’’To begin with, there was a most gorgeous parade, led by the famous Sophomore jazz band, followed by prancing horses, huge elephants, magnificent chariots and all kinds of clowns, both black and white. “Then there were the daring feats performed by contortionists and tight rope walkers in the main tent, trained animals, particularly monkeys, acting in a most entertaining way and of course the customary chariot and auto races with flying colors. Oh yes, and a very wicked hula maid ‘hulasd’ to the alluring music of a most accomplished Hawaiian quartet. “In the side shows, I believe there were at least seven or eight wonders of the world; the bearded lady, the ferocious wild woman, the human skeleton and the snake charmer were all there in their glory. My dear, it was too funny for words, the way Si and Miranda Perkins took in all the sights. “Can you imagine a circus complete without red lemonade and hot dogs? I should say not! Well, we had ’em. “I guess everyone had just a marvelous time. I know I for one, hated to go home. Now you tell me about the Kids’ Party, won’t you? “Well, one Friday night in April all the girls put on their brothers’or sisters’ dresses, as the case might be, took their dollies and ‘Kiddy Kars’ and went to the Y. W. C. A., to the nicest party. I wore that little white dress, with the pink sash, mother brought me from New York when I was seven years old. Can you imagine that! “I spent all the pennies I’d saved for two whole weeks, on chocolate teddy bears, all-day ‘suckers’ and great big popcorn balls. We played 'London Bridge Is Tumbling Down’ ‘Drop the Handkerchief and danced and danced. I had the darlingest little boy for, my partner, ’til some other little girl came and vamped him away. “Everyone had to do a stunt, then we had a grand march and Miss Lindell, our chaperon, awarded the eunningest ‘jumping jack’ to the ‘cutest little girl’ who spoke a little piece, in front of everybody. “At ten-thirty Miss Halt West played Home Sweet Home, and all the little ‘kiddies’ went home to mother, very tired but after a jolly time I’m sure.” • Dorothy Linton. PARTIES! BASKET BALL AND OTHERWISE Some of the live wires of the school got together and hired an orchestra and a hall and gave dancing parties on Friday nights, for a while. They were usually held either at the “Y. W.” or the Parish House. The way these really started was by having a dance after the basket-ball games, and then, after the season was over, the majority of the young people thought it would be a shame to discontinue the parties, so they were continued. “Were they properly chaperoned?” inquired many of the mothers. “Yes, you bet,” an- swered their young daughters, “Mrs. Gault and various others were always on the job to see that there was no cheek dancing nor shimmying, although they DID let us toddle: but there’s nothing wrong in that.” Everyone enjoyed having these parties, and we hope they will be continued next year. -- PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE SOCI ETY (continued) THE ANNUAL CADET HOP One winter’s evening, in fact it was the 27th of January, one could see, coming from most any direction, fellows clad in uniforms of gray and white. How straight they walked, and how well they looked! Hut “who are they, and where are they going?” many people stopped to ask. “Why they are the Cadets of the Flint High .School, and this is the night of their Annual Hop, came the ready replies. And if one had been able to follow them to the Durant Hotel, they would have beheld a most amazing sight. There, in the ball- room, were about lot) couples of young people, seeming to be having the best kind of a time, and the Cadets, themselves, formed a striking appearance in their full dress uniforms, w ith the Cadet and American flags as a background, which were hung at one end of the room. Dancing, to music furnished by Kay Cook’s orchestra, was certainly enjoyed by all present. The younger set of Flint gladly welcomed this annual affair back once more, for it was the first one that had been held since the late war; and we sincerely hope the dances will be continued regularly in the future. Among the patrons and patronesses were the following: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gault, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Parmelee, Mr. and Mrs. A. N. Cody, Mr. and Mrs. ltoss, Mr. and Mrs. Huyck, Mr. and Mrs. D. T. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. ('. M. Dusenhery, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Konbright. SENIOR SLEIGH RIDE It was the last day in February, and for some unknown reason, several groups of Seniors could be seen in the halls engaged in a hot discussion. But why all the excitement? Wait— I'll explain. Someone had seen a few stray snow-flakes fall just outside the school, and this being about the first real snow seen in that vicinity all winter, they decided it was time for the Class of '21 to have its annual sleigh-ride. A class meeting w'as called the 8th hour and plenty of chaperones, bobs and eats were provided for. The gang met at the old “arc” and it was about (5:20 when the bobs hauled anchor. Our destination was the home of Bernadette Coggins, in Grand Blanc. You heard me say “stray” snow- flakes well there were very few that had strayed along our course, and as the result, some of the people walked most of the way and most of the people walked some of the way; but we arrived there about 10 o'clock. The main feature of the evening was “eating,” which was enjoyed by everyone. After that, Jim Setchfield tickled the ivories and Donnv acted as official bouncer during the dancing. The town clock was striking two, when we again entered the Metropolis of the middle West. Did we have a good time? Ask anyone that was there and they will tell you. For inside dope, see Vern Cresswell. Thanks to Bernadette and Mrs. Coggins for their kindness and hospitality. SENIOR-JUNIOR PARTY My Dear Katherine: 1 suppose you would like to know all about the party that the Seniors gave the Juniors, so I thought 1 would give you a “write up” of it. You know, Kat.v, that I’m not very good at things like that but I’ll try to describe it the best 1 can. Well, in the first place, it was given in the Parish House on December 10th. The reason we gave it, there was on account of the balcony, because it makes it so much nicer for those l lf .KirfV-sJtlT PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE SOCI ETY (continued) who don't care to dance, and the ones who come just for the program—but don’t say “pro- gram” to me; I didn't see any of it. I'll tell you why: Howard Kline took us down in his ear and if you are very well acquainted with him, you know he's never on time, and so consequently we got there just in time for the dancing. 1 heard there was a very good entertainment though—some stunt with part of the faculty (that’s always good) and singing and reciting. I wish I could have seen it. There was dancing from about 9:30 until 12:00 and the music was just great. They had Sid Stewart and his gang. Hot Dog! I don’t see how anyone could keep from dancing with music like that. Oh yes, I nearly forgot to tell you that we had decorations; and they were the class colors too. I guess the decorating committee had to inquire as to what the colors were before they bought the crepe paper, but since the secretary had them down in the minutes, they were again renewed in our minds. Punch was served throughout the evening and the Juniors seemed to be enjoying themselves. Do you suppose they will show us as nice a time? This will remain to be seen. Will let you know later. Write soon and tell me about the parties you have been going to and what fellows you went with. Sincerely, Steve. J UNIOR-SEN10R PARTY My Dear:— Yes, we Seniors had quite a surprise on the 6th of May when the Juniors honored us with a party in the Dryden. We were absolutely taken off our feet. They had an awfully good entertainment which started at 8:30 (yes, I DID get there this time, there's a reason.) The faculty pulled off a clever stunt, called “An Amazing Mellow-drama” or “Christmas at the Old Homestead.” It certainly was rich. One is often astonished at the actions of one's teachers when one sees them outside of school hours; but take it from me, Kath- erine, they’re all pretty good sports, and enjoy a good time as well as any of the rest of us. The program concluded with some dance numbers from a couple of little toe-dancers, who shook a wicked hoof and held the attention of the vast throng for some time. Dancing for everybody followed, and the Black and White Harmony Boys donned their clown suits and furnished the music. What would a party be without Donnv Johnson in the foreground? Bless his little heart, if he didn’t get right up in the orchestra pit and sing us a song. It is really surprising how his voice is improving. During one dance, some of the Juniors caused serpentine streamers to fall from above, which was very pleasing to the eye. Punch was served as per usual. The strains of “Home Sweet Home” were heard at 12:00 o’clock and I’m sure that every Senior went home very well pleased with the party, and with an appreciative feeling toward their hosts. I certainly wish you could have been here for it, Katherine, because I’m sure that you would have had a good time. Well dear, I just heard some squeaky brakes outside, so I had better close for this time. Your old friend, Steve. Aitfr iixty-seien PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE DEBATING TEAM The debating team this year has gone through a successful year. The shortness of the season did not give our team the time to fully develop, but under the direction of Beth Olds Tyler, considerable progress was made. The first scheduled debate was to be held with Owosso, December 3, 1920. but, due to the fact that the team had not yet been chosen, Flint was forced to forfeit. December 17, a team composed of Charlotte MacKeller, Ronald Harris and Raymond Riggs, debated Saginaw Eastern at Saginaw. Our team upheld the negative side of the question, “Resolved, that the settlement of disputes between employer and employee should be made a part of the administration of justice.” Our team lost by an unanimous vote. January 21. a team composed of Raymond Riggs, Howard Cline and Ronald Harris, upheld the affirmative side of the same question against Ann Arbor, in Room I). Al- though two of the judges saw fit to cast their votes in favor of Ann Arbor, our team feels that it showed up to advantage in what has been considered one of the best debates ever held in Room I). February 4, Saginaw Arthur Hill journeyed here and met defeat at the hands of our team who again upheld the affirmative side of the question. February is, we were to have debated Fenton but won on a forfeit. Here are our teams, First team, Ronald Harris, captain, Howard Cline and Ronald Riggs. Second team: Alan Chapel, captain, Walter Lake and Lauren Haight. Page sixly-eighl PROSPECTUS nineteen hundred twenty-one SENIOR PLAY May 27 1921 “Professor Popp the Senior play this year was a clever comedy, put on in a fascinating manner The scene opens in a small college town a clay or two before school commences, in Pro- fessor Popp’s front yard, which is private property. While the students are discussing plans for the year, Sim Batty, the town police force,enters and tells them they are on private property and should leave. They leave, with Sim Batty’s hat. and Simey has a chat with Petunia Muggins, Professor Pepp’s hired girl. As Batty leaves, Elizabeth Gardner and Howard Green enter discussing an automobile ride. While they are talking. Aunt Minerva the housekeeper, enters and Mr Green is dismissed with little ceremony. Aunt Minerva expresses her man-hating disposition, and Elizabeth goes into the house heart-broken. Sim Batty makes a call, but one glance at Minerva and he retires. Peddler Benson and Noisy Fleming rush in and yell for freshmen. Aunt Minerva flares up and they beat a hasty retreat. Professor Pepp, a nervous, erratic and temperamental small town college professor, who has just been through several horrifying experiences in Russia, as a result of a practical joke played on him by a former student now living in Moscow, enters in a very mysterious manner and is ‘whacked’ on the head by Minerva who thinks he is a sneaking student. Pepp utters several horrifying expressions about Nihilists and Russian Redeemers. After he comes back to normal and has a talk with Aunt Minerva, Buttonbuster, a giddy old man, of almost fifty years, who is made up as a college freshman comes in, and Pepp takes him for a Russian Redeemer and almost has a spasm. Then Buttonbuster tells him he is his old friend C. B, Buttonbuster of Boston. After the greeting the girls enter to consult Prof. Pepp about some classes. Button- buster is introduced all around, and the girls leave. Pepp goes into the house and Button- buster sits down to rest, takes off his wig to cool himself. Sim Batty enters and seeing Buttonbuster in disguise, captures him. Howard Green and Elizabeth enter as do Pepp and Petunia. Pepp explains that Buttonbuster is a freshman and Green exclaims that Buttonbuster is his father, and the scene is ended. Scene two opens with Aunt Minerva and Petunia Muggins discussing the actions of the new freshman, Buttonbuster. While they are talking, in skips Buttonbuster with several fellows chasing him. He is properly hazed until Prof. Pepp appears on the scene and demands an explanation of Benson, who is the leader. Benson blunders through an ex- planation and the fellows yell for Prof. Pepp and leave. Buttonbuster explains that he must go get his football costume and go out to practice. Pepp is exasperated with him and says so. After Buttonbuster and Pepp leave scene, Olga, the Russian dancing teacher enters with the girls and reads a letter from a friend in Russia, explaining how to intimidate him. She and the girls leave stage and she returns alone and asks for the Professor. When he comes she acts in a very mysterious manner, points her finger at him and ejaculates the one word “Bumski. This seems to be a pass word of the Nihlists. Olga says that Buttonbuster will have to quit forcing his attentions on tin girls of the college and the professor says he will see that Buttonbuster stops his nonsense. After she and Prof. Pepp leave. Buttonbuster appears clad in the remains of a football costume. He accidently reads the letter from Russia which Olga dropped. He sees the Professor coming and goes through some mysterious motions and yells “Bumski at the Professor. The Professor begs for mercy, which Buttonbuster grants on tin condition that Pepp makes his ward, Elizabeth Gardener, marry him. Pepp agrees to use his in- fluence and Buttonbuster leaves. Howard Green and Elizabeth Gardener now enter and ask for his sanction to their engagement. He refrains, saying who is already en- gaged to Buttonbuster. Elizabeth breaks down and goes off the stage weeping. Pepp follows her out, leaving Green on the stage alone. PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE Olga comes back looking for the letter she has lost. She tells Green what it contains and decides to try it on the Professor She can not find the letter so she leaves. Peddler Benson now enters and sells Green an alarm clock, of which he is an agent. Green drops clock on seat and asks Benson if he will get the gang” together to play a trick on the Professor. They are to disguise as Russian Redeemers and come to the house later when the Professor is out in front' As they leave the stage Petunia comes out singing and crosses to the seat and sits down on the clock. She thinks it is a bomb and yells for Prof. Pepp to come out. He comes and they pass it around each afraid to hold it. then Elizabeth comes out and Petunia puts clock on table and runs for water. Aunt Minerva and Button- buster enter and as Pepp yells a warning, she faints. Petunia comes back and throws the water on the 'bomb’ and Sim Batty enters, but as Petunia yells he retreats. Just at this moment Peddler Benson enters picks up the ‘bomb’ (clock) and asks Petunia if she doesn’t want to buy a nice clock. Now several fellows disguised as Nihilists come to front, and Green asks lor Pepp, and then they throw fake bombs at him. Curtain. As the third act opens the girls are out in front discussing the football game. As they are discussing it music is heard and a little later the boys enter carrying Buttonbuster on their shoulders. He is the hero of the hour chancing to make the only touchdown in the game. The boys exit, promising to come back later and sing a serenade. Professor and Buttonbuster talk awhile and when they leave the boys come back and sing the promised serenade. When they are through they are invited in the house for a party which they accept-. Green now enters posing as his father Buttonbuster and gets Pepp all rattled also his father. While he is talking with his father Minerva comes on and seeing in him B. Buttonbuster trys to shoot him. Pepp and Elizabeth come out and Elizabeth in- troduces Green to her Uncle and Minerva threatens to shoot Buttonbuster if he doesn't marry her. He decides to marry her.

Page seventy a: prospectus nineteen hundred twenty-one “In good fellowship and united effort there must be progression.” That is the motto of the Thalian Honorary Literary Club. In 1918, a few girls, with the aid of Miss Edith Owen, who was then an instructor in English at the high school launched this organization with the aim in view of better acquainting its members with the best in literature. The club is now four years old. Throughout these years the name Thalian has become synonymous with tine scholarship. Moreover. Thalian has the distinction of being the first successful literary organization in the Flint High School. The Club may have four official social affairs during the year, viz: Open Door. Initiation. Picnic and any kind of gathering desired by the members. Open Door has become traditional. It is held during the early part of the second semester. The program then is usually composed of the choice bits from the regular bi-weekly programs. Membership of the Club may be attained only through the special recommendation of the applicant’s teacher, providing the applicant has a high scholarship in all other sub- jects. The membership is limited to thirty-five students from the four classes. As the Seniors are graduated, the vacancies are filled with Freshmen, thus making the organ- ization perpetual. , „ „ Miss Olive Wiggins is the Club Patroness. The officers for the past year were as follows: President, Dorothy MacFarlen; Vice-President, Harriet Casterlm; Secretary, Mane Anderson: Treasurer, Irene Richards; and Assistant Treasurer.

The murmuring Freshies and Sophomores “Bobbed” into style, and with manners green, as becomes their low station, Rush like the jitneys of eld, with voices shrill and hysteric. Stand like stone horse-blocks in doors, stemming onrushing tides from the hencoops. Loud, from the turbulent crush, the deep-voiced Juniors and Seniors Speak, and in accents of rage, urge them inward, the doorways not blocking. This is the High School historic. We know. We have been in it often. Yea! to all hours we have lingered, for “make-up” and other such misdeeds. We have explored its recesses, and worked quite a bit at the studies. Verily, with greatest “pep,” we have chewed of the mixture called “Wrigleys,” Snapped it? Ah, yes. “Oui, indeedy.” Thus we “parlied” in various dialects. Shouted in feverish joy, over victories proposed and assured. Interviewed jovial “Parm,” over tardy incomings or clown pranks. Bearing with joy the small slip in color denoted as yellow, After a “piling of books” or tolling of much hated school bell. This is the High School historic; but where are the gay 21’ers? Who, with their noises and doings, made merry the days of their bondage. Living in peace and contentment; as, scattered in various sections Of the ancient and time honored building, they gently ascended the stairways; Passing in rows which were even. Yea, not by Cadets e’en excelled. Scattered! “Aye, yes!” and though parted, oft they assembled together. Filling the building with sound; and the faculty with fear and trembling. Arguing into the night, over questions financial and social, Naught but initials and tales, remains of the dear 21’ers. Ye who believe in tradition, in sportsmanlike conduct and so forth, Ye who believe that we lived, flunked, studied and finally vanished, Read, when we’re gone, the last journals. And tales of our life in old Central. —Frances Atehinson Page seventy-two Page seventy-three PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE THE GIRLS' CLUB Under the direction of Miss Marjorie Sanborn of the Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. Harry Gault of the faculty, a club consisting of girls of the three upper classes was or- ganized. The purpose of the club was to further good fellowship among the girls, to plan entertainment for the members, and to better high school in all ways pos- sible. The officers of this year were: President, Caroline Stone; vice-president, Ruth Snook; secretary, Elva Langdon; treasurer, Ida Downer. One of the first events of the year was a circus which was given at the Y. W. C. A. Nothing was lacking, from the circus manager, barkers, elephants, horses, wild women and Hawaiian dancers to the dude and country jay. During the spring vacation the girls enjoyed a hike and a potluck dinner. A Kids’ Party was given at the Y. W. C. A. at which Sis Hopkins, Topsy, Tom Sawyer, Priscilla, Buster Brown, babies in rompers, and many other well known characters were present. Delegates from the club will be sent to the annual convention at Dewey Lake and it is expected that they will return with many new ideas by which the club may profit next year. THE ARC LIGHT A few years ago a monthly magazine was issued by the student body and was called “The Arc Light.” This year the publication of this magazine was renewed under the auspices of the Cadets and has proved to be a success. These monthly issves, which deal with the serious and humorous situations of school life, have helped to increase the school spirit and enthusiasm. The editorial staff is composed of: Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Organization Editor Grind Editor Social Editor Athletic Editor Senior Correspondent Junior Correspondent Sophomore Correspondent Freshman Correspondent Cadet Correspondent Staff Artist Business Manager Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Faculty Critic Ronald Buck Rudolph Kagey James Howe Walter Lake Elva Langdon John Lucas Floyd Corcoran James Barron Sam Kaplan Hersey Muliner Clarence Dill Janet Rollo Raymond Riggs Alan Chapel Stephen Gelenger Miss Fuller Page seventy-four HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES At Mr. Parmelee’s suggestion a House of Representatives was elected, consisting of a representative for every forty students. The purpose of the House is to oifer any suggestions for the betterment of the school, to consider suggestions offered by the faculty, and to be a self-governing body. Fred Schouman was elected Speaker of the House, with Richard Holihan vice speaker and Elva Langdon as secretary. From the House a Senate was elected, consisting of a boy and girl from each class. The purpose of the Senate is to present any plan, already discussed by the lower House, to the faculty council for consideration. After some discussion a plan was agreed upon for stopping the petty thieving which has been prevalent in the ward- robes. Another accomplishment of this body of students was the stationing of ap- pointed traffic officers in the halls to relieve the congestion at the doors. Many minor issues pertaining to the betterment of the school have been accomplished. This year witnessed the birth of the House of Representatives, and it is hoped that this organ- ization will profit by its strong foothold and do much for the betterment of high school. Under the direction of Miss Esther Lott and Mr. Leroy Pratt, an honorary soci- ety was organized, consisting of students receiving the highest grades in chemistry. The first meeting of the club was held February 7, and the following officers were elected: President, John Harlan; vice-president, Elva Langdon; secretary, Dorothy McFarlen; treasurer, Horatio Parmelee. The object of the organization is to delve deeper into the phenomena of chemistry than class study permits, and to become familiar with the fundamentals of the subject. The meetings of the club are held every two weeks on Thursday, and some especially interesting programs have been enjoyed. Mr. George Kellogg, chief chemist of the Buick, gave a splendid talk on chemistry and its past history at one of the meetings, and during the year the members have been privileged with topics by the instructors, Miss Lott and Mr. Pratt, with moving pictures of subjects dealing with chemistry, and with talks accompanied by demon- strations. Perhaps the most interesting event of the year was the trip to Detroit. About forty students left Flint early in the morning and visited the Parke, Davis Co. of Detroit, where they were piloted about by guides. The afternoon was spent at the Solvay Co., which proved to be very interesting. Much of the success of the society is due to Mr. Pratt and Miss Lott, the founders. The charter members of the organization are: HONORARY CHEMICAL SOCIETY Walter Hall John Harlan Oliver Hatch Harold Jacox Elva Langdon Pearl Catsman Caroline Clark Opha Marklund Dorothy McFarlen Max Mills Ruth Parker Horatio Parmelee Edmund Propson Bernice Scroggie Joseph Seide John Shroyer Robert Young Page scventy-Jne -------------------------------------- — -rs PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE1 Decker Decker Capt. Decker played a hard and consistent game at tackle. Through his hard work he received the honor of being on the All-State team, and we wish him every success in his future activities. Van It ormer Our diminutive general and next year’s captain struck terror into the ranks of our opponents by his brilliant line plunges. His generalship was good and the team worked nicely under his direction. ‘ (iogg ie ’ Ferguson When it comes down to pure fighting spirit and grit. Goggie takes the prize. To his long arms and fast legs much credit is due for the victories of last season. Dun Weiss In the “Hattie of the Mud, Perris still remembers how Dannie used his “tank methods on them and repeatedly broke through their defense for gains. Dan has weight, speed, natural abiltiy, and should become a back field man of reputation. Uetud Van Warmer Pidd Opposing teams soon learned that it was impossible to get started, with Pidd on their neck every minute. Pidd will be back next year to help make the best team that Central ever had. M Uchel Mitchel was not with us at the first of the season, but his impression on the last of the season was felt. He was a speed demon, and a fighter, and was a big factor in making a successful season. iAmdeti Lowden, a new man at school, proved to ho a football player. He worried the opposing tackle to death, and the rest was easy. It is to our regret that Gus has left school and we hope he will be back. Dodds Dodds, also playing his first year, held down his end remarkably. Dodds broke up play after play, and was also good on the offense. It was Harold’s last year in school and we will miss his handsome profile very much. Louxlen Page seienly-six prospectus nineteen hundred twenty-one Ockerman Ockerman, also a new comer, played the other guard. He started the season rather slow, with a poor ankle, hut played a very acceptable game and was strong at the finish. Ed Sharp “Big Ed,” another new player, started in the back field, but was switched to the wing position where he was very effective. Ed will be back again next year. ‘ ‘ iotorboaV' Peters “Motorboat Peters,” playing football for the first time, held down his guard position with ease. Pete is a cool head, and will be back next year to help. Ockerman Ed. Sharp Downer Downer, playing his third and last year for Central, played the same strong and consistent game that he is known for and helped make tin season a success. Hank Ferenz “Hank” started the season at end and played a brilliant game, but was injured making one of his flying tackles. He was in the game again at the last of the season, playing as well as ever. “Sprout” Wells “Sprout” played quarter and half, as needed. Wells is a very snappy player and a good open field runner. We will have a chance to see more of his playing next season. Boyd Boyd was small, but “Oh my” how he did hit them. Last season to our regret was his last, but he surely lived up to his reputation, we are thankful. ‘ IotorboaV1 Peters Downer Hank Ferenz “Sprout” Wells Bovd 10 Page seventy-seven Page seventy-eight 0 —------------------------------------------ PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE Page xnrnly-mne □ BASKET BALL The basket ball season from a standpoint of victories was the most successful that Central has ever enjoyed; but due to a charge by the State Board of Control that one of our men was ineligible, we were not invited to the State Tournament at Lansing. With four vet- erans back and a wealth of new material our chances for gaining the state title next year seem even brighter. M. S. D. 6 Jan. 7 Flint 38 The first game of the season was with our local opponents, the boys from the hill. The team exceeded all expectations and the game proved to be a walk away for Central. Alma 5 Jan. 15 Flint 22 Flint went up to Alma for the second game of the season. They fell for our team work and the rest was easy. The team showed more spirit and pep than in the first game. U. S. Indian School 10 Jan. 21 Flint 30 The little “Red Boys” from Mt. Pleasant came to town with quite a reputation. They lasted about five minutes of play and then succumbed to our attack. Kalamazoo 8 Jan. 28 Flint 10 The fast Kazoo aggregation were our next opponents. They came to town with the Page eighty PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE game decided, but they were somewhat disappointed. The game was very fast and Central did not have it all their own way, but nevertheless, were able to win. Mt. Pleasant 8 Feb. 4 Flint 44 “Revenge is sweet.” After suffering defeat a year ago, Central comes back strong and the game was all one-sided, after five minutes of play. Jackson 20 Feb. 11 Flint 29 Jackson, after beating the champions of Ohio and some of the best teams in Michigan, looked like the strongest contender for tin State Title. (But) Before the largest and most enthusiastic crowd that ever witnessed a basket ball game on the Y. M. C. A. floor, Central beat them decisively and won the right to be called the strongest team in the state. Port Huron 17 Feb. 18 Flint 21 The team traveled to the Tunrel City for the second out of town game. Soon after the game started, it was noticeable that we were playing against six men instead of five. But, nevertheless, the superior condition and team work of our team managed to gain victory. Highland Park 16 Feb. 25 Flint 47 Highland Park came to town next, and after beating the best teams in Detroit, figured on putting their second team against us in the second half. The second team proved an extra expense, as they did not even see a basket ball, and they left town with the sad news on their tongues. Royal Oak 7 March 4 Flint 20 Royal Oak started for Flint with the idea of a football game, and started in early to show the art of rough and tumble. But the game seemed to be in favor of Flint at the end, and there were no deaths during the game. Pontiac 11 March 12 Flint 17 The highly touted team from the Asylum City were muchly grieved to find at the end of the game they lacked enough points to win. Through some misunderstanding of elig- ibility, however, we were forced to forfeit to them. Mt. Pleasant Tournan ent. March 16-17 Bay City East 17 Flint 28 Bay City Eastern, an old enemy, was elected to be our first opponent. They proved to be almost too easy, and the cup was almost presented to us when, all of a sudden, our presence was not requested and we left for Ann Arbor. Ann Arbor 23 March 18 Flint 20 After a long and tiresome ride from Mt. Pleasant, we finally arrived in Ann Arbor, very much out of spirit. That night we played a game of basket ball that was not, and suffered our only defeat of the season. Pa e eighly-orxc PROSPECTUS NINETEEN HUNDRED TWENTY-ONE Wearers of the “F MEN Capt.

In all of the games they played trying to put our Alma Mater hack on the map. The greatest inspiration was when they played the Battle Creek Normal girls. They were very good sports, clean players and good players that our goal was set and they really gained it. The scores speak for themselves, hut the most exciting game of the season was the faculty game. The second team girls were put in the first half and one of the teachers made the following remark: If that’s the second team what will the first team do to us next half?’’ The teachers who played were Misses Egglestoneand Abbott as forwards; Bretz and Bell as centers; French and Woodruff as guards. (You can guess which one made the remark.) They puffed a great deal before the whistle blew but assured us that we were backed by the faculty. The coach, Miss Ruth Woodruff, cannot be excelled. Every team that the girls came up against envied the girls for having tier. Every girl worked hard. Margaret Hoffman and Margaret O’Grady as forwards, Lena McOaughna and Captain Evelyn Davis as centers, and Mildred Wetherald and Ida Downer as guards. Taken as a whole the grade of basket ball displayed by the girls was in keeping with that shown by the boys. The scores for the season are as follows; Date Opponent Where Played F. H. S.
