We started our Junior year losing two of the original members and gaining nine new ones. Several of our members have contributed to the orchestra. The class has enjoyed several social events, one of the best of which was a social given at the beginning of the school year. Page Twenty-two

well as city boys can do this if they will by attending high school and going farther on after they have finished high school. How has all the progress and advancement in past years been accomplished? We all know that we, the people of the United States, are said by other people to be one hundred years ahead of time. Why have they said this? It is just because people have had ambitions and have had the determination to accomplish them that has wrought so many great changes. Do we wish this advancement to stop or be accelerated? All of us wish to promote and better conditions as much as possible. Education is necessary for this. The rural school children should attend the high schools and attain their ambitions. They may say that it is too hard to attend high school because of the distance and weather conditions, but it is well worth the effort put forth to attend. One thing we must remember is that America today stands out clearly as the light and saving grace of the entire world. God has ordained America to lead and save the world morally. We are all units in the great body politic that makes up the greatest nation on earth. The duties that all efficient citizens have to perform are new and peculiar to the time. How, then, will the boys and girls be able to do their part as useful citizens except by efficient preparation? Leaving the personal element out of the question, young people today should take seriously the idea of a broad general education that they may take their part in the great work to be accomplished, that at the final reward they may hear the Master’s voice say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Hester Busman, '22. Boy Scouts of America Troop One Coopersville, Michigan During the school year a Boy Scout Troop was organized. We now have thirty members and hope to get more recruits in the near future. The Troop has enjoyed several hikes, one of the best of which was an over night hike to Grand River, where the Scouts practiced Tracking, Semaphore Signalling and also the art of Cooking. The officers are as follows: Scoutmaster.............................Howard McKinnon Assistant Scoutmaster...................Grant Treloar Senior Patrol Leader....................Frank Young G.

The Sophomores are very enthusiastic and have lots of school spirit. This is shown by the fact that we raised the largest amount of money for the starving people of Europe. We were well represented in the High School orchestra, having ten members. The girls have a Camp Fire group. The social activities of the class were opened by a party held at the home of Mildred Russell. In addition to this, we had a “weenie” and marshmallow roast, and a valentine party. We are hoping for many more good times. Page Twenty-three
