VI COVERT HIGH SCHOOL COVERT, MICHIGAN 1 F oreword - ln presenting this volume of the Pilot, the Staff has tried to record the happenings of our high school days, and to reproduce the scenes and faces with which we have been associated during our school career. We have attempted, by assiduous methods, to produce an Annual which is self-supporting and within the finan- cial scope of the Covert Consolidated High School. We have successfully endeavored to continue in the practice of allowing the undergraduates the opportunity of con- tributing a great part of the direct Annual make-up, and in so doing have made the Annual more an entire school affair than merely a Senior project. Here, then, is our Nineteen-thirty Pilot. - ' 1 COACH G. D.

' ' The consolidation of the old country school houses into this maginihcent Covert High School-is all due to the Board of Education and our parents. The present Board hasserved since the construction of the building with the excep- tion of Mr. A. G, Larson, -whose place has been filledg by Mr. E. Rood. Improvements have been made year to year and new courses have been added to the curriculum which have proved advantageous to the students. Among the recent additions are: the introduction of Music, Debating, 'and Physical Edu- cation, all of which are expected to play a greater part in the school program in the future. Additions such asnour new locker rooms, showers and athletic field offer much in that course.

Few of us realize what an important and diiiicult part the bus drivers play in the routine of our school life. The drivers' work is far from easy. It means long hard hours of work plowing through snow and mud. Besides the physical labor they must undergo, they have the responsibility of the safe-keeping of hun- dreds of children's lives. Due to the skill and carefulness of these trusty men, the Covert Consolidated School bus system has won the approval of many. Never, in the eight years' existence of our school, has there been any serious accident injuring anyone. YVe appreciate the loyalty, kindness, and gratifying service which our drivers have given. Even in the severest of weather, there were but a few days when the busses did not attempt to make the routes. May we at this ti1ne express our appreciation to the drivers as a whole, and to Mr. Galbreath, the superintendent of busses, for their commendable services. 10 MR. QUAILEY Br-r-r-r. Turn onthe heat! How simple it is to say these few words, when we feel a trifle shivery! Subconsciously, however, we do not stop to think of the time and work it takes to supply this necessity to keep us comfortably warm in the winter time or equally cool in the summer.. Nor do we have to worry about the water supply, the arrangement of chairs, the cleaning of the corridors, rooms and walks, or who keeps the clocks running, the Domestic Science stoves filled and many other duties too numerous to mention. Much praise, therefore, is due to Mr. Quailey for the never ending supply of' these necessities and we all unite in our regard and appreciation toward him. OUR GRADE TEACHERS To this group must be extended a great deal of credit for the care, edu- cating and handling of the younger students. The grade teachers must be con- stantly on the job, set examples, correct, discipline and teach the youngsters courtesy, kindness, manners and many things of this nature, besides reading, writing, and other curricular work. They must be alert to the physical and mental handicaps of the various stu- dents, must carefully prepare the day's program to include, besides the regular routine of work, recreation and rest, and to keep constantly in mind the needs of the smaller groups, which are many and very different in nature. In the hands of these people, we place our children for the greater part of the day. and through their efforts and care are' entrusted the educating and guid- ance of your children. Covert is to be commended on the selection of the teachers in this depart- ment and has seen many new introductions of work along the lines of social and child psychology, through their constant efforts. Come to school, parents, one and all, NVe welcome you to make a call, And see how your children act and do, ln this school supported by you. Meet the teachers you've heard about. Perhaps in your mind there is a doubt Of just exactly what they teach and do, This they'll gladly explain to you. So come and visit, this we ask, And see the teachers at their task, For they are human like all the rest, And are thinking only of doing their best. 11 WHEN I WAS A BOY IN SCHOOL lYe had no monumental hall, No temple reared its stately wall, IVhen I was a boy in school. In houses of wood, decrepit, old, That shut out neither heat nor cold, Our young minds struggled to unfold, XYhen I was a boy in school. No paved roads then on which to go, Kept clear of mud and winter snow, XX'hen 1 was a boy in school. XVe traveled not, luxurious, Conveyed to school in auto-busg Our sturdy legs transported us, NVhen I was a boy in school. Not yet had basketball been played, And gym to us no thought conveyed, VVhen I was a boy in school. But theres was pom pom pull away. 0le cat, and prison gool to play, And shinny, on a winters day, NYhen I was a boy in school. To our wild spirits we gave vent, Uncurbed by Student Government, NVhen I was a boy in school. But when we grew too rough and wild, The rule that quickly made us mild NYas, Spare the rod and spoil the child, NYhen I was a boy in school. XYe lived our lives in our own way, Unsupervised by P. T. A., XYhen I was a boy in school. No Boy Scouts then, no Camp Fire group: How we played, no one gave a whoop: Nobody dished us out hot soup, XYhen I was a boy in school. The passing years will quickly llow: 'Twas just a little while ago, XYhen I was a boy in school. May happiness beside you dwell, May romance weave its mystic spell, Till to your children you will tell, VVhen I was a boy in school. -By Thomas Spelman. 12 X - ..

XYhen we entered school as Freshies green, we were twice as many as seventeen. Everyone laughed at and teased us so, ' How they made life hard for us, you already know. . As Sophomores gay we next started out g ' Our number was smaller, without a doubt, i But we gave those little Freshies smart A deserved 'nitiation, a la carte. VVhen as Juniors bright we entered school, I Our spirit of newness was much more cool. The result of our efforts that year, you bet, l XVas a little red school house for the Senior Banquet. As dignilied Seniors in 1930 we began The year as nicely as any Senior can. In September our number was seventeen, ,' Until Harold VValmer came and made it eighteen. During all these years we have made a name In class work, brilliance, in athletics, fame, Our social accomplishments have been many, V Our banquet and play not equaled by any. 1 I And our wish for the school as we go on our! ways, The school where we've spent our happiest days, ls fame in athletics, in class work the same, To preserve as of old its gloriousname..

Il In behalf of the Class of 1930 I wish to welcome you, one and all, to this our Class Night Program-the climax of ouit High School career. VVe are honored by your presence ..... VVe recall the dark spots as well as the brighter ouesg our work as well as our playg our failures as well as our successes,--and perchance we have played as much as we have worked. We find ourselves asking, VVho is responsible for our education, and for the good which we have derived from our career in school?,' The realization comes to us that it is our classmates and school friends, our Faculty, our Board of Education, and our Parents who are responsible for it. To you, our fathers and mothers, we owe much gratitude for your never- Hagging interest in our well-being. You are the ones who have helped us to bear more easily our failuresg you are the ones who have rejoiced with us in our successes. You have not only supported us financially, but you have been backing us in all of our ventures. V To you we now unite in heart-felt gratitude. Many thanks are also due the members of the Board of Education who have always fostered the best interests of our class. You have cooperated with us always in the successful attempt to make our school bigger and better. In view of your generous spirit toward all we now give to you our many thanks. The Faculty has, of course, accomplished the real work in educating us. We feel that you have done so to our best advantage. Throughout the four years of our High School life you have aided us in facing many difficult problems. All of our High School teachers are not present here tonight. We miss three of our faculty friends,--Mr. Carroll, Miss Cyretta Morford, and Miss McConnell. We extend to you and to them our great appreciation for without your and their kind help such an education as we have had would be impossible. To you, schoolmates and friends, we also extend thanks. Life in school has been much more happy by your presence. We have formed social contacts with you which will prove invaluable to us in the future. Accept our deep ap- preciation. Perhaps I hardly need to say again that all of you are welcome here tonight. We hope that you enjoy this program which we shall try our best to present well. In behalf of the Class of 1930 I welcome you heartily to this high light in our careers-Class Night! Clara Calabrese. 24 X I VALEDICTORY VVebster has defined Commencement as a noun meaning the beginning, and as the day of graduation at institutions of learning. Commencement means to us the closing of one chapter of our livesithe past-, and the opening of another-the future. During our school years we have formed certain ideals of honesty, harmony, justice, and kindness. By the knowledge gained in these years of school we hope to make life sublime, harmonious, and happy. VVe hope to make our commencement not only a day of graduation, but the beginning of a new period of years which will bring new itleas and the fulfillment of our established ambitions. 1 Ralph VValdo Emerson has written, There 'is a good and a bad to every'- thing. Everything in nature is dual. Tonight bur feelings are of a dual na- ture. XVe are happy. We are sad. We are happy because we are able to graduate, happy because we shall have new opportunities, new problems to deal withg and happy because of the kindness, love and guidance shown by parents and teachers. VV e are sad because we know that tonight means the end of daily associations with classmates and teachersg and sad because the home-ties, al- though still as dear, will, in a way, be severed. , VVhether we leave our homes to ain higher education in colle e or in voca- g et g tional fields, success will depend large-ly upon us,' as individuals, and upon the training we have thus far acquired. 'I The routine of school life has not only taught us certain theories, but also has given to us practical knowledge. During these school years we have been taught to distinguish the goo-d from the bad, the' genuine from the false, and the enjoyment from the mere amusement. Not a subject is studied, not an act is done, but which will help us in life. We have been preparing for life,-indeed we have been living it. In our past life and in they future the friendships made are of great importance. May I repeat to you Ciarrie Jaco-bs-Bond's master- piece, The End of a Perfect Day ? ' Well, this is the end of a perfect day, Near the end of a journey too,T- But it leaves a thought that is big and strong. VVith' a wish that is kind and true. For memory has painted this pffrfect day Vifith colors that never fade,- I And we find, at the end of a perfect day, The soul of a friend we've made. And after all, what can be o-f more value to us thaii understanding the souls of friends we have made ? l Parents and Faculty, Members of the Board of Education and other friends, it is largely through your efforts that we have been' able to come to this, our day, of graduation, and to our co-minencementf' 'M I ay I express our grati- tude to you. I v Theodora Tiedebohl. 1 25 I I 1 1 l e I l i THE DEATH AND BURIAL OF THE SENIOR CLASS NYho killed the Seniors? XVe, said the teachers, XYith our books and lesson features. We killed the Seniors. XYho saw them die? I, said good old Covert High, lVith my great observing eye. I saw them die. ' VVho'll be the clerks?

THAT DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLASS W'hen our last dish is clean, and our towels are washed and dried When our aprons are dotted and our last sigh is sighed, I-Ye go into the ante room for Mrs. Andrews to present A written lecture, to which we all do deeply resent. The lecture seems to continue for hours and hours, Until our arms just ache, oh, that teacher of ours. She keeps on going faster as she bids us hasten fast, Until the bell begins to ring, and we are free at last. D -Margaret Volay.

THE SESSION ROOM The prison windows were open, The warm spring air floated through. And the laughter of the children below us Made us yearn for freedom too. The guard at the front was scolding, As she watched o'er the restless throng. Oh, why! when the outdoors is calling, Must school hours be so long? The guard at the front is leaving, A sigh of relief goes 'round. But alas! we hear her returning, So we must toil steadily on. But these prison walls have sheltered us Through laughter and through tears. And with sorrow we think of leaving For the freedom of future years. -Ruth McCarty. , 40 DEDICATION OF EXAIVIINATIONS About a week ago, our teachers brought forth upon each classroom black- board, an examination, conceived in difficulty and dedicated to the proposition that all students could work it. Then we were engaged in great mental agony, testing whether that student or any student, so engaged and so occupied, could long endure. . But in a larger sense, we could not begin, we could not work, .we could not complete that examination. The brave students, living and dead, who struggled here before us, have solved it far above our poor power to add or subtract. The faculty will little note nor long remember what we say here! It is for the on- coming generation, rather, to be dedicated here to the unlinished work which they who struggled before us, have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for the on-coming generation to be here dedicated to the great ta'sk remaining before us, so that the school, of the teachers, for the teachers, and by the teachers, shall not perish from the earth! , i I Blessed is the student that walketh in the counsel iof the faculty, and be- cometh a pet of his teachers, and sitteth in the good graces of his classmates. But his delight is in his books, and in his books doth he meditate, day and night. I And he shall be like a tree, planted by the pond in 'back of the school, that bringeth forth its fruit in each century, his memory also shall not wither, and whatsoever he do-eth shall prosper. 1 The unstudious are not so, but are like the ones expelled from school. Therefore the unstudious shall stand before the student council and before the congregation in the assembly. ' For the faculty liketh the way of the studiousg but' the way of the unstud- ious shall perish. 4Margaret Sebestyen. OUR SCHOOL Our school is the school I shall look to. It teacheth me to study with long patience, it gaineth me knowledge of much benefit. It restoreth my mind with things that are useful to me. Yes, while I study I think of the days of fun, but ,never regret the days of school that I have spent, toiling to prepare for the happy days to come. It prepareth a path for me, it teacheth me to followt in the right way. I shall always love and cherish this school for the rest of my life, and I will speak for Covert High forever. .

This is the fourth year the Home Economics Club has been active. It was organized by Mrs. Andrews to help promote a wider scope of knowledge in Domestic Science and Art, and to help the girls along the social as well as the intellectual side of life. The active members are those taking cooking this year. The other girls are non-active, but participate in the social events. The officers are: President, Margaret Sebestyeng Vice-President, Helen W'arreng Secretary-Treasurer, Lois McCartyg andf Advisor, Mrs. Aletha An- drews. 'We started the year out right by having a delicious Thanksgiving dinner held in the H. E. C. rooms. followed by entertainment inthe gym, such as Basketball with the Referee QMrs. Andrewsb helping both teams. This night also taught us that several of the ll. E. students were hue imitators of the High School faculty. Our many activities tor this year have included lunches after Debates and Basketball games. The girls certainly have enjoyed being members of this Club and sincerely wish to thank Mrs. Andrews. who, through her etlorts, has made this Club a success.

DEBATING TEAM Ax I 'walls Ivy niysvlf l :Ind talk fo nzyxvlf- Debating has been very popular at Covert this year. Our teams are indeed sorry that for this year debating is over for them. Not only have they enjoyed the friendly battles and-the friendships which have resulted from their contact with fellow workers from other schools, but they are now realizing some of the benefits gained from their work. The jury. one of our much discussed American institutions, is no longer a vague and unknown term, but a deiinite and interest- ing factor. Speech making in the Assembly is not a thing to dread, but one of the ordinary occurrences of' school life. Although ten points out of a possible sixteen did not permit entrance into the State Elimination Contest, nevertheless. those same ten points spelled victory in three out of four debates. Covert is proud of her four representatives who have never before debated and who, in fact, previous to this year, had never but once attended a debate. Next year should bring greater victories because our team will consist of only one inexperienced debator and of two veteran debators, Ruth and Margaret. Furthermore, who knows but that next year will bring us for that inexperienced debator another Bernard to astound our patrons with his heights of oratorical reasoning. 46 l Clara Calabrese, Elizabeth Anderson, Ruth lX'lCC2ll'tj?, Thoedora Tiedehohl. MEDAL WINNERS l l H.Slll1CIl'fhX', .VHIfII'f'X', SllICU'f,X', , Tlmuylzt ydllilf l1rI7't' rl f'fIl'fj',:' l For the past several years, the Board of Education has awarded gold medals to the high school students who have gained special distinction in scholarship, character, personality and school citizenship. VVe believe that these are very essential qualities which a student should seek to attain in his or her high school career. Their possession will be of inestimable value in the realization of the best in their future as well as being most valuable in their present school life. VVe believe that the Board of Education has conferred a real favor by man- ifesting its support of the policy of our school by granting these line and attrac- tive medals from year to year. Not only does it provide an added incentive on the part of the student, but it gives him or her a concrete reminder of' a worthy achievement. VVQ are pleased to announce the names of the following students who won the medals for the school year of 1928-29. Maxine H. Olson, '29 tDo- mestic Artj 3 Clara M.

Music, in its second year of activity, progressed very rapidly under the di- rection of Miss Muscott. Both the girls' and the boys' Glee Clubs, at the begin- ning of the year, organized into functioning bodies. The girls' club chose for its name, Philharmonic, while the boys' club chose 0rpheus for its name. Rehearsals were held once a week for each club. On November eleventh, the Orpheus club entertained the XYatervliet Boys Glee Club at a very enjoyable affair. A Christmas program was given on December eighteenth, in which both clubs appeared. The Philharmonic club gave the Christmas Cantata, The Angel and the Star. Soon after Christmas, work was begun on the Operetta, The Gypsy Rover, a romantic musical comedy, which was given on April twenty-tifth and was a big success. It was the climax of the whole year's activities in music, for both the clubs. Its success was due to the careful and patient training of our director, Miss Muscott. 48 l 4 S. Vanderveer, S.

In October we had some interesting talks on The VVelfare of the Child and The object of P.-T. A. The subject for discussion in November was, Hot Lunches. We were also favored by several piano solos by Miss Eleanor Spreen of Nvatervliet. Our December meeting was given over to a Christmas entertainment under the di- rection of Miss Muscott, ably assisted by the grade teachers. It included carols by the children, a cantata, The Angel and the Star, by the Girls Glee Club and a pantomime, accompanied by a mixed chorus of High School students. In Jan- uary we had a very unusual program. The girls of the Lo-pu-sty-ka Camp and their guardian, Mrs. Haskell, put on a Campfire Ceremonial. They had as their guests the girls of the Ser-he-lo-ha Camp and their guardian. It was a very colorful and unique entertainment. The most outstanding piece of work accom- plished by the P. T. A. was the Hot Lunch project which was carried on during January and February. Through the eiforts of our organization, the school child- ren were able to secure at a very low cost a nourishing hot dish each day during the winter months. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. O. R. Smith for his splendid cooperation in preparing the food for the lunches. In March Mr. VVissman gave a very interesting talk on Plant Diseases. The Ways and Means Committee, Lawrence Kenney, chairman, are planning a home talent play to be given in April. 50 KN LE T: Pl 5 er.-' Q Qi H X Paul Bates, A. Austin, Coach Andrews, T. Malinowski, L.

The 1930 Basketball season was a very successful one, due to the splendid coaching of Pat', Andrews, who developed for the iirst time, since the building of our school, a Championship Team. Andrews has turned out teams in the past which have played a high brand of ball, but never has Covert had a scrappier or faster bunch of men than on this year's team. VVe started out the season with a squad of' seventeen men, including Captain Houston, Delano and Kenney of last year's squad and some promising material from last year's second team, namely, Bates, Harvey, Austin, Gnofrio and Vaughan, also a new player, XY. Hunting, who looked like a certainty for center on account of his height. VVe started on our way to the class D county championship by defeating Gobles on our own Hoor by a score of 17-11, and in a return game on their floor by a score of 14-5. Our next class ID victory was against the small but fast Mattawan squad. 52 X 1 . I. Onofrio, M. VVine, Coach Andrews, G. MacKenzie, Y. Johnson, L. Pinyard, Y. Disbrow, J. Rendell, C. Knapp, Z. Majewski. p BASKETBALL fseconcl Team, I Hunting, with the advantage of height, scored ten points against the smaller boys. The score was 17-13. On our own Hoor we took another game in a slow going affair in which the Covert boys scoring machine got under way and rolled up a score of 39-10. before Coach Andrews inserted his second team. We at last played Lawrence who for the past two years was the team that had put us out of the running for class D championship. VV e journeyed to Law- rence for the iirst contest and there defeated them by a score of 16-14. This put us on top for the county class D championship. as we were the only unde- feated team in the county. Later the Lawrence team came to Covert to avenge the previous defeat at our hands, but once again the Covert boys got going and with their fastipassing attack and Houston's ability to drop in long shots as well as the other players wonderful defensive work, we again defeated Lavvrence, and cinched the championship by a score of 17-10. g 53 l OUR SHOWER AND LOCKER ROOlVlS . This is thc' locker that 'Jack' built. NYe are very proud of our new showers and, at this time, want to express our thanks to the people of the school district and to the School Board for pro- curing this wonderful addition to our school. Showers and dressing rooms have been a long felt need at Covert High School, especially in the physical education department. Now this need has been cared for. No longer do players have to 'dress behind shields or in the manual training room for we now iind ourselves equipped with plenty of showers, a large dress- ing room for our home team as well as for visiting teams. Besides this we have a storage space for our equipment and an office for our Coach. These rooms now put this department on a par with the larger schools in the country and in advance of many of our rival class D schools. Again we thank one and all for the interest shown toward the development of our Physical Education Department. VVe are glad during this first year of use to dedicate it with Covert's first Championship in Basketball. 54 BASEBALL This year we play all of our games away from home, due tof the fact that the new Held is not completed. Next year, however, we plan to dedicate our new diamond and hope for the support of the people and student body in backing.the Covert Team. - Baseball will start this year with many new players in its lineup, due to the loss of men through graduation last year, and the ineligibility of some who par- ticipated in summer games during the vacation period. These facts, however, have not daunted Coach Andrews, who has the following men available from last year's nine: B. Houston, T. Delano, R. Vaughan, H. Wfalmer, XV. Hunting, L. Harvey, P. Bates and T. Malinowski. Besides these there will be plenty of com- petition furnished by such players as I. Onofrio, Maclienzie, Spaulding, Disbrow and others who came from last year's Junior Team.

So now it is up to the school to not only accept this new work but also to make the best possiblefuse of it for all concerned, taking into considera- tion the school, the community and the pupil. - Through the installation of a program in which the student-body has-access to the gymnasium and are under the supervision of an instructor, many of the seemingly wearinesses of school disappear and a general and genuine en- thusiasm develops. Besides this the physical health, morals, and character of' the pupil, which are essential in future life, are more readily developed where group and individual competition are keen and by correct association and instruc- tion. Advertisement and publicity for the school and the community in which the school is located may be greatly promulgated and likewise an increase in the interest and support of the many other school departments and public occa- sions be instituted by the enthusiasm of the younger folk. Athletics while very helpful in such a promotion as this are however only a small part of such a program as they only benefit a very few in the entire student-body. This year a step forward has been taken and a class in physical education held for the boys of the Seventh and Eighth grades and from the general popularity so far' shown speaks well for a future development of this work in our school. OUR NEW FIELD By next spring Covert Consolidated School will be the proud possessors of a new athletic field, which will enable us to take our place among the leading schools of the county. There will be no more worrying, bothering, or relocating of baseball dia- monds each year, or feeling ashamed to invite our rival teamsl to play on a sandy, unlevel held. Instead, we begin to look forward to inviting them here and showing them a real diamond-the one which we hope to dedicate this coming year. The field as now planned will not only add to our athletic progress, but it will likewise be a beautiful addition to the school grounds. The Editors of this Annual are sincere in saying that the students of the Covert Consolidated School, the Faculty, and all interested in the development of our school system are grateful to the people responsible for this improvement. We now wish to express our gratitude to the people of' the district, and to Miss Lepha Vaughan, Dr. VV. R. Vaughan, and Dr. O. M. Vaughan, whose gift to the school in memory of their mo-ther, Mary E. Vaughan, and deceased father, Dr. O. M. Vaughan, Sr., has made this possible. 56 x 07 XX R X 1 1 i 0 N A 19 I X J., S5 X J 'q R X By 2 , N N I 0 X w Q I u V ' o -2: sg: i 'O l0O O0 WOWONO' 'CNOUONOI-O-'O 'OWOHOI' O O0O O'-O00-'O Ol'O4 'O' 'O0O' 'OWU' 0000- MO- 00000000 fO O' -O O O ONO'-O O0O' fO0O' 'O0O O- 'CWC' 'O O Ol 00000-0- O-'C' .Q.-g.4..g.-q..g-.g..Q..g..g-.g..g..g..g.,g.....g..g.4. .5444 ug.. ug.-Q. guy.-g..g..g --900.1 --9.

VOTE FOR VERNON JOHNSTON May Queen Student Government Press: Isadore Onofrio, a Junior of the Covert Con' solidated School, is running for Mayor of the Student Council. At one time Mr. Onofrio had the honor to appear on the stage with the famous dancer, Miss Dora Robinson. Mr. Onofrio has shown a great deal of interest in the work and politics of the Covert School. Mr. Onofrio's only opponent was Mr. Vernon Johnston, who resigned when he woke to the fact that he would graduate this year. .i.1-1. INJURED Feb. 4-Mr. Arba Austin, a Junior of the Covert Consolidated School, was ser- iously injured this morning when he re- ceived his Latin paper. His mark shot out and pierced his heart strings. Mr. Austin was in a serious condition for a few days but is slowly recovering. ?, Then there is the newlywed who cried all day because at breakfast that morning her hubby set the coffee pot down on one of her waffles thinking it was an asbestos pad. MURDERED A gang of Seniors gathered in the as- sembly with brilliantly colored fly swat- ters and cruelly killed many flies. These same murderers were called before the Student Council and charged with mur- der in the First degree. After much dis- cussion, however, the court was dis- missed, stating that killing flies was not only necessary, but helpful to the school. .NOTED SOCIETY LEADERS FORCED TO MAKE MOVE Mr. Byron Lindberg, who has made his home in nrst row street for a few months, and Mr. Edgar Olson, who has resided in his home in the front of the assembly room for a short time have both moved. Reasons were not given. The Messrs. Lindberg and Olson are now living in a very prominent district, namely among the Juniors and Seniors. These prominent society leaders of the seventh and eighth grade classes will be greatly missed by their many friends. . -.-...li During Horticulture Class this A. M. the Hon. P. J.

' . l I Page Two THE SENIOR CHINWIGGLE BURGLARS RIFLE DESK- VAUGHAN'S LOSSES HEAVY .-1.-.- During the noon hour the desk of Bob Vaughan was broken into and the following articles stolen: two sheets of paper, one compass, and three pencils. The pencils were one and one-half to two inches long and all had valuable erasers in them. Bob says that if they had taken his Geometry book instead of the pencils it would not have been so bad because he needed the pencils to erase misspelled words. The Hon. P. J. Bates of the Bates Detective Agency got to work immediately. He is confident that the stolen articles will be recovered. ADVICE T0 THE LOVE-LORN Address all correspondence to Miss Margaret Sebesteyn, Z, LaVern Harvey. Dear Advisor: I am a Senior in High School and am sixteen years old.
