The Then and the Now BY 5UPT. MANNING In olden times the educated man was he who secluded himself from his fellow men, and in the secrecy of the cloister crucified • his flesh, humbled his spirit and pored over books. The world of action had little use for either him or his knowledge. Ilis very mode of life was such as to rob him of those forces which go to make men of action and character in world events. At best he is but a clerk. In very recent days, in fact within the memory of some who may read this article, the scholar is associated with drooping shoulders, spectacled eyes and weak constitution, going through the world handing out more theory in fifteen minutes than the average man could practice in months, or he himself could ever put into practice. llow vastly much more does education mean to the thinking citizen of today. Ex-commissioner of Education Win. Harris says that “Education means the development of man physically, men- tally and spiritually, till he can give of his best to the world.” It is to meet this broader outlook that thinking educators everywhere are demanding saner courses for our schools; courses that will make of our boys and girls something more than mere bookworms; courses that will enable them to meet the great prob- lems of life; courses that may embody less of the higher sciences and the dead languages and give in their place drawing, music, domestic science, manual train� :g, civics and ethics for all schools and agriculture for the smaller cities. Courses that will train our boys and girls t.o greaVr efficiet cy, i. e., power to do things; courses which not only give a great deal of information on many subjects, but will enable the hoy or girl t work out the problems and difficulties that may eonfn nt them after they leave school. Courses which will develop strong and healthful bodies, purity of thought, high ideals and right r lationships of man to man. The educated man should be the strongest, broadest and most active man of every community and the last ten years is rapidly bringing him into his own. “And so it is that all of the various phases of our school life have an important part in our educational scheme. We need our hooks, for from them we glean our precious harvest of knowledge that has grown out of the experience of those who have lived he- fore us. We need physical training, for out of that grows vigor and energy. Wo need ethical training, for out of that comes purity and sweetness of spirit. We need to eoine into social con- tact with others, for in that way we recognize our needs and du- ties as members of society; above all we need that broad outlook upon life that makes the real scholar the greatest servant of the age. ’' May we not. also clink our glasses to the “now” of the C’ros- well schools. t JUNIOR CLASS FIRST ROW: A.

Colors—Blue and Gold An Evening With Big. desolate, empty, the assembly room looms before us on Monday evening, as we enter it to attend a meeting of the re- nowned debating club. Empty, did 1 sayf Well, perhaps hardly that, for at the far table in the back of the room sit a couple, evidently come early to secure an advantageous position. His blond head makes an effective pic are near her brown one, as they bend whisperingly and gigglingly over some task. Prom them it seems miles in the dimly lighted room to the desk on the front, platform, where sits Mr. President, in all his doubtful dignity, ably flanked and supported by a girlish secretary, who takes minutes furiously between the whispered comments to her colleague. Scattered here and there between the two extremes are a few devotees of the declamatory art, a few ardent seekers after the culture of self expression. Towards the back sits a large, jovial person, who quite over- flows his seat in his eagerness to prepare his debate before his turn shall come. When it does arrive, he marches up to the plat- form with sn assured air, though with slightly flushed face, apd delivers his oration with only occasional hesitation. The remain- der of the evening he spends in teasing the girls around him, most of whom are sitting two in a seat, arms intertwined. Others sure to be present are an elderly man who acts as judge or critic, and a flushed individual sitting in the back seat the Webster Club who has always some comment to offer on the delivery or conclu- sions of the speakers, and who invariably moves that “the reports be accepted.” The censor, too, is there, he of the ruddy, ruffled hair. Still another Cicero sprawls in his seati near the rear of the room, hands in his hair, eyes glued on the array of books spread out before him, yet with his ears ever open that he may not miss anything that is happening about him. The program flows uneventfully on, from the msieu of the opening number through the speeches, the debates to the reports of the censor, broken only by faint clapping and an occasional giggle, now and then rounding into a hearty laugh, if the speaker scores a good point, or by the tap of the bell heralding the close of a speech. The period of loitering which follows the movement for ad- journment is brought to a close by the decisive movement of a Titian-haired girl, who leaves the assembly room with an attendant (usually varied) in tow. This is a signal for a period of inde- cision on the part of “Uncle Haze.” who never is sure just which one he wants to take home. Most of the others, however, are not troubled in this way, but slip into their coats, pair off and begin the slow promenade away from culture toward home and mother. HISTORY—Class of 1912 The present senior class of ('. II. S. ean hardly he identified as the freshman class of four years ago. At that time the class roll numbered thirty-two, but due either to the plucking ability of the instructors or the lack of sticktoitiveness on the part of the students (the latter being probable) our umber has gradually decreased until now we have but sweet sixteen. One characteristic of our class is its appreciation of woman’s rights and elimination of maiden sisters and bachelors, as is shown by our roll, having completed the course with an even number of boys and girls. Suppose we follow our fortunes throughout our four years; after leaving the grades. Our grammar school teacher was a sort of combined mother-confessor, social worker and home missionary to the community. She had dealt with us as in- dividuals for two years and knew our personal peculiarities. She strengthened our feeble wills and confirmed the growing virtues by requiring a pretty faithful accounting every day for the daily task. When we reached the High School we were thrown at once on our .own resources. We had four new teachers, new studies and an older crowd of students to compete with. I remember well the first day in the high room. We were looked down upon jeered at and called “fresides, ” and I presume we were all right, at least we felt as though we were. It was during this period, having reached the high school, that most of us boys were allowed to don our first long trousers, and then may- be’we did not get put through the mill. Thoughout the year we did not seein to grasp the real pur- pose of our being in school, not being included in the social events of the upper-classmen, and being backward about strik- ing up for our rights, thought ousel ves an abused class. Toward the end of the school year we began to take part in the social affairs and to realize the function of the institution and our part in it. When the call came for track contestants, we pided ourselves with two entries, which brought us honors at the annual meet held at Marlcttc. The next year we entered upon our duties with a good will and a fair knowledge of our position in the school. Through- out the year we had a few social gatherings and class meetings but could not be considered as the “stars of the school, being as yet dominated bv the upner-.dassmen in everything except athletics, in which we always took highest honors. It was also in this, our sophomore year, that we received into our class the Wixons and Greys, who were valuable addi- tions, in view of the fact that they are numbered in the chosen sixteen to complete the course. Our junior year was crowned with success, not only in our studies blit in our social affairs and athletics. The climax, or highest point in our school life, was reached, after which came the last act, then the curtain. The senior class, being small, was easily subdued, leaving us champions of the school, and we certainly made use of our time, living up tio the maxim, “eat, drink and he merry, for tomorrow you may be solemn seniors. ’ During the year we carried on our business meetings and social evenings. Wo also made great strides in athletics, send- ing the point winners to the state meets and tying for first place versus the combined forces of the other classes in an in- ter-class meet. In this, our senior year, we have been ‘'dignified seniors” in every sense of the word. Our last three rows of seatn, and especially the rear of the same, have set an uncqualed example in deportment, while our investigating committee on sanitary conditions and cleanliness have ferreted out many misdemeanors on the part of some of the underclassmen. The victims were allowed the full course of the law, and were sentenced to five minutes in tJu shower hath. Foremost among these were Dea- con Townsend, and how well I remember (as will anyone who happened to be in the court room at the time of his trial his pathetic appeal for mercy, on the ground that his head had never been wet since he was a babe, and it might “give him his death of cold.” The good work was not dropped here,however. We proceeded to varnish the seats, clean up the walls and dec- orate the halls and assembly room, and we sincerely hope that the classes to follow will keep up the good work which we have started, and that they will leave things in as good condition as we have left them. Our greatest undertaking was the publication of this, the first annual of the High School. It has necessitated much work, but will doubly repay us for our effort, and besides it will be an incentive for futur classes to continue tin same. Our class meetings, with Reynolds pounding for order (while Anna and George in one eo er and Uncle Ilazen and either Louise.Elda or Nellie in the other, holding meetings of tludr own and paying no heed whatever to our president ’s frail implor- ings), have always been sources of the greatest pleasure, and it is with a swollen feeling in our throats that we think of leav- ing our many friends and familiar surroundings. V. 1). QUAIL. Popularity Contest Smli exeitement ns there was over the Popularity Contest had not been known for years in Cn swell: in faet so intense was the feeling that a spontaneous combustion was greatly feared by “Doc” McColl. You see it started between the Seniors and Juniors over the Prettiest (Sirl in school; the Juniors supporting Mable Davis to a man. while the Seniors declared that for looks Elda Robb had everybody in the school stopped. Things began to appear serious, when Karl Westbrook challenged Floyd Mr- Naught on to a duel, sixty paces, at daybreak, weapons, lists and invectives: the little man being guaranteed To win in tie� latter should the former prove ineffectual. So serious, indeed, did the situation become that Russel Civile, who won the contest for the Highest Prow by a nose, stepped in ami firmly declared that there should be no bloodshed, but the matter would have to be settled by arbitration. This was too much for the contestants, who consented to a re-counting of the votes, when it was found that Mable bad forged ahead. Just then Elizabeth Heard (whom the other candidates united in denouncing as a bold thing, who was always pushing herself forward� sternly declared that she was not more than one lap behind for third place, in which the judges upheld her. Her interference, however, caused an uproar iti the Freshman elan, who advanced Nellie Green as a perfect vision of loveliness. However, theie were no such disputes over the Handsomest Roy. people even going so far as to declare that there was none, which said statement, however, we consider a slander pure and simple. Look at Hazcn English, win se brown eyes, one girl was heard to declare, are too dear for anything. Also gaze on Car- lyle Rigger. Could human eyes ever behold anything more en- trancing than the pink and white loveliness there depicted? And have not certain instructresses of the past been known to rave over the heavenly blue of the eyes of the House of Reynolds? Yes. there are many of us who feel constrained to agree with Jacob Plain, that the only reason why everyone didn’t vote for him was that they were all jealous. To In; sure there were a large number of votes east for one Junior, viz., Harry Ix'slie, but the referees have decided that such a singleness of idea is impos- sible in the young and that the ballot must have been stuffed, and have consequently ruled the votes out. As to the Joiliest Girl, verily the voters must have considered this a giggling contest, for the two contestants for honors were none other than Iva McIntyre and Elizabeth Wise, Iva winning out by a particularly loud “teebee” at the end. Keep it up. girls; some day. |erhaps, this irresponsible mirth of yours will land you in the popularity list, where Velma Powell doub'ed on “Liz” Heard, the next aspirant, and tripled on the other affec- tion triflers.” Mattie Gardner. Svlva Wixon, Mabel Kenney. Rachael Sehoctlc, Frances Mathews, Lillian Sample, and Louise Brother ton. From the bent of public opinion as to the most | opular boys, we fear that next year the school will he left disconsolate, since the votes were cast pretty solid for three Seniors. The winner, by his o tiers and honors ye shall know him. our President, Floyd IN y u' V. with his side partner. Frank Quail, only four votes be- Tiind, while Rill Howard came up rather out of breath, having given more attention to other kinds of training, still four votes in the rear. Love for a good story deters while honesty prevails, so we admit that a few votes were east for such -Juniors as Ray Flynn, Colin Campbell, and even for such unspeakable Soph mores as Eluxie Putney (be of the big feet) and Jacob Plain (of the argumentative ability). For the Wittiest Hoy, Lee Peters cleared the bar at nineteen feet, Russel Winterstein, however, not to be outdone, caught onto his eoat tails as he was going over, and went along. very- one will admit that it is pretty hard to get ahead of Russel. An- other in the same class is Arnold Reynolds, who made the height quite easily on the second attempt. Outside of the Junior Apollo no one has been caught cheat- ing, but it is believed that there have been foul means and undue influence of voters on the part of such people as George Davis, Mable Kenney, Elizabeth Wise, Floyd Reynolds, Jacob Plain i who. by the way, won out unreservedly as the Best Joke� , Hill Howard, Frank Quail, Hazen English, and others who, though they were often foiled in their attempts to get one of the first places, always managed to get themselves entered in every event, even though it be only as pacer. In short, they might be termed as all-around good Sports. What the Seniors Will Do Next Year Earl—Will go back to the hay. Floyd Will pick olives. Ilazen—Teach palmistry. Frank—Conduct a minstrel show. Velma—Hunt Quail (?). Rav—Become a prof, tramp. Syiva—Eat ox hearts. Harold—Take an advanced course in agriculture. Bill—Will continue to talk. Elda—Delve in the mysteries of domestic science. Louise—Will take a correspondence course in English (?). George—Will sojourn in the “Windy City.” Nelly------------------(?). Anna—Will become a professional nurse. Jennie—Will become a staid and dignified schoolma’am. High School Athletics Believing that one of the most essential things in building up character in the High School is clean athletics, Croswell has put much stress on her athletic success. Our motto has not been, “Win, and win at all casts,” but rather, “Win if you can and be fair while winning.” If you would investigate Croswell’� gradual rise in athletics, especially track, you will see that 1907 marks our first success in this line. This was in the county meet held at Sandusky, when our school won third place in the meet. The next year we kept plodding along and landed the county championship at Croswell by the narrow margin of three points, beating Marlette, who were picked by critics to win the meet easily. Ever since 1908 Croswell has held the county championship. In 1909, we won the meet at Marlette, winning first in every event except the shotput, and in 1910 we scored a total of ninety- nine points at Peckerville and were again the county winners. In 1911, the other schools being unwilling to compete in a county meet, a Thumb meet at Croswell was proposed, inviting every High School in the Thumb. Only one school put in an ap- pearance, and that was Cass City High School, from whom we won the meet, making us champions of the Thumb District. Croswell had been entered in the Michigan Interscholastic Meet held in Ann Arbor, May IS and 19, 1910, and Wm. Howard, the only contestant, won third place in a gruelling |uarter-uiilc run. He was also entered in the University of Chicago Inter- scholastic meet, held at Marshall Field, Chicago, Illinois, June 11, 1910. He was defeated in the quarter and half-mile runs. This proved to the Croswell High School athletes that they must train more rigorously if they wanted to become state champions. Frank Quail and Wm. Howard were entered in the Michigan Agricultural College’s Interscholastic Meet, held on May 12, 1911, at East Lansing, although no one thought that they would win their events. But Quail carried off first honors in the hammer- throw and Howard in the 440 yards dash and the running broad jump. This meet spurred us on to greater things. We sent seven athletes to the University of Michigan Interscholastic Meet, at Ann Arbor, Bigger, Howard. Martin, McGill, Xiles, Oldfield and Quail making the trip. Our team tied for second place in this meet with the large Muskegon High'School track team, Toledo Central High School beating us out for first place by the narrow margin of fifteen and one-quarter points, for the championship of the meet. Quail and Howard again winning the hammer-throw, quarter-mile run and running broad jump respectively. The reception tendered The “conquering heroes.” for as such they were spoken of, was something to make any track team of Michigan envious. We were met at the depot by practically all the town, horns tooted, the band played and the school’s banners were in evidence. When the boys got off the train the High School cheered each member of the track team, and then they marched down to the new school house and each member was called on to make a speech. When each one had said a few words, for we were so excited not erne could think clearly for hours afterward, we ended up with the school song and nine “rahs” for the winning track team. In the fall of 1911 we organized a football team and played our first game at Sandusky, it being the first game in which ten of the team had ever played. Sandusky scored in the first five minutes of play, but could not make any more counts after that, the game ending with the score still 5 to 0. THUMB CHAMPIONS TLAM Top Row, Left to Right: A.

Bad Axe, on October 10, defeated us 18 to 0 at Croswell b.v superior all-around playing, and repeated their victory the fol- lowing Friday 32 to 0 at Bad Axe. On November 5, we journeyed to Harbor Beach and were trimmed by that team to the tune of 28 to 0.. By this time our foot ball boys began to get mad, and when Harbor Beach came to Croswell the following week we played the best game of the season, holding Harbor Beach to a scoreless tie. Tn the season of 1011, twenty candidates came out for the team. We opened the season by playing the strong Port Huron team on September 13, at Croswell, and tasted .defeat to the tune Of 24 to 5. The following week Brown City canceled a game with us and we did not ploy again until October 13, when we drove to Mar- lette. The six hours on the road stiffened the players so badly that they were in poor shape and consequently were defeated by the score of 38 to 0. On October 27 ale played at Croswell, and we played a furious game for forty-five minutes before Yale scored on us, making the score Yale 5, Croswell a goose egg. On November 3 we journeyed to Deckerville and played that All our foot ball games are over And our days of glory «lone, Let us cherish unmolested, Memories of the fields we won. With the thoughts of how we conquered Comes the wish to play once more. All those games so full of triumph When we really got a score. Respectfully dedicated to tl Foot Ball Team. team in a sea of mud. The first half ended Croswell 10, Decker- ville 0. Captain Quail carried the ball across with terrific line plunges, and right halfback Howard made the second touchdown on a fake end run. Howard failed to kick goal each time. When the second half started we were playing a good game when I eck- erville made an illegal forward pass, then another and another until a touchdown was made. We then kicked off to them and they again made three more illegal forward passes, ending in another touchdown, kicking goal both times, and the game ended 12 to 10, Croswell getting the short end, after outplaying their opponents in all departments of the game. Base ball has been taken up this year and Coach Manning pre- dicts a very good team for the first season. About sixteen can- didates are out for the nine. Thus summing up athletics in Croswell we are the champion track team of Sanilac county, the Thumb of Michigan, and by virtue of the fact that Toledo Central High School is not in this state, we are the 1011 Interscholastic champions of Michigan, boasting of Frank Quail, state hammer champion, and Wm. How- ard, joint record holder in the quarter-mile run, the state cham- pion in the running broad jump, and the half-mile indoor champion. When the tide of life has borne us Softly o’er the rocks each day, Till the breakers’ foam has spattered All our sunny locks with gray; When the world has learned to figure So that nine is less than none.

It was a flashlight party from beginning to end. At 8:00 the lightning Hashed ami so frightened the “Solemn Seniors’’ that only eight out of our “sweet sixteen” ventured out of the house. The evening was sj ent in eating popcorn and fudge, pro- vided by our hostess, Mrs. Quail, and in taking flashlights of the “jolly eight” in various positions. Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Pickett, while on their way home from Tuesday Club, visited us for a few moments to see if we were being entertained well. A few minutes before the lights went out, the party broke up. Out- side, the rain was pouring down in sheets. The street lights were out. and couples instinctively found their way home, huddling close under one umbrella. Nov. 2f .—The G. X. K. S. S. gave one of the most successful parties of the season this evening. The invitations issued puzzled everyone, since they did not hint at the nature of the party. We met at Miss Boardmairs, where we were informed that it was to lie a progressive dinner. The gentlemen of the party selected their partners for the first course by finding the owners of baby pictures among the girls. After the first course if was announced that the second course would he given at Miss Itrotlierton’s. Here we matched pictures for our partners. The third course was held at Miss Wise's, the fourth at Miss Farewell's, and the fifth at Miss Robb’s. After the last course the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games and entertaining the Normal- ites. The homes of the young ladies were beautifully decorated with the club colors, green and white, in the wee hours of the morning, the tired but happy bunch of Seniors and Juniors re- turned to their homes, all voting the evening an entire success. .Ian. 24. Oh 1 What a cold night, thermometer twenty-three below zero! Still this did not daunt the courageous Seniors and Juniors, who, chaperoned by Misses Benbiook and Beckwith, journeyed to the home of Carlyle Bigger. It is useless to say that the thirty people packed in the sleigh were lively, for if you dared peep out from under the blankets. Jack Frost would bite you in the most approved fashion. Arrived at Biggers’. a half hour was devoted to thawing out people, but in spite of frozen feet, hands and cheeks, every one had a glorious time. Several of the party hadn’t the courage to come home with the load that evening, and this made more room for the others, who sought the coal stove as soon as they arrived in Croswell. Feb. 14.—Harold and Sylvia Wixon entertained the “Solemn Seniors” and a few of their friends at a Valentine party. Oh! it was a glorious evening for a sleigh load, and the ride was all too short. A Valentine program was carried out, after which a de- lightful luncheon was served. The weary travelers returned home about 2:35 a. in. Calendar One for Every One.

Bigger, '13 In the tender morn of manhood And the blush of maiden fair, We come to a place well noted For its mirth, sorrow and care. To a place of hurry and worry, Of stay up, catch up or die; But when we meet with failure, We catch a glimpse of the sky; And the cool blue looks so tempting That we draw a long, deep breath, Cast aside the awful fa ling, And resolve we’ll not meet death. For we love our grand old high school, Class room, corridors and halls; While the memories of assembly We cherish most of all. Here as one our voices mingle On the morn of each new day; And they swell out loudly, clearly, When the bests are far away. Here we form the play of battle, When the enemy draws near; Stir our nerves, make tense our muscles, By a lusty, rousing cheer. To develop mind and body, How we strive those only know Who have watched us, helped us, taught us, Since the distant long ago. Failure, triumph, victory sweet, Side by side pass on together, H. S. And their trials we dai'.v meet, Only bring forth greaVr efforts Till our toils are made complete. Do we think enough at present Of the time we cannot shun, When our schooldays shall be ended And our broader life begun! Then, too, our fond recollection. Like a mild and pleasing rhyme, Shall return at eve as echoes Softened by the lapse of time. (k)uld we only see the lesson As we’ll surely see it then, Would there not be better women, Nobler, grander, greater men? And to those who soon must leave, Though we envy, we admire; Keep, defend your lofty standards, Which will lift you ever higher. Go forth! and in vonr labors We wish you all sue ess, And only hope you’ll not forget Our dear old C. II. S. Ode to Fingermarks, Dirt, Etc. Silentiy, one by one, On the bright pages of our books, Grow the marks of our fingers, The milestones of our labors. R. NILES, ’12.

Manning. Large crowds attended the opening, making it a grand success. The Museum contained many priceless works of art and records of great importance. As 1 entered the door, 1 turned to the left down a narrow aisle. The first work of importance was a group carved from white marble, the female figure being 4 ft. t in. in height, the other a young man I� ft. 4 in. The group bore at the bottom the inscription, “Mutt and .left'.” As 1 passed on, I noticed a huge book entitled “A Condensed Encyclopedia.” As I oj ened it, I was surprised to see the sober face of Frank Dove on the first page; farther on the picture of Raymond Niles surrounded by electrical apparatus appeared as chief assistant to Frank Dove, the Author. The next exhibit that interested me was a figure of a small man whose face strongly resembled W. 1 . Howard’s, and whose mouth, being run by clock-work, opened every other minute to emit the words, “How, When, or Where.” As 1 passed on, 1 noticed a statue of a man carved from purest marble. The figure’s hands and feet were bound with heavy chains, and as the face resembled Ray Flynn’s somewhat, I wondered if the sculptor could have used him as a model. But the inscription at the bottom explained all. It read, “The Kid- der; A- Prisoner for Life for Trifling with the Affections of Young Ladies.” Then followed a long list of his victims. Just then I received a severe jab in the back, and turned around in time to see that “Fresh Kid,” Delbert Rea, who was up to his old tricks, disappear around the corner. The next exhibit of importance was a statue of Frank Quail, dressed in somewhat dilapidated foot ball clothes. We sincerely hope that Frank will be able to bluff Coach Yost, as well as he has Croswell, into believing he can play foot ball. Next I noticed a little room, in and out of which people passed very quietly. I step]K d in. The walls were hung with signs bearing the single word, “Silence.” At a little table were seated six people diligently studying. 1 asked an attendant, who was busy putting food in one young man’s mouth, and wrapping wet towels about another’s head, who they were. He said, “Rus- sel dyne, Ilazen English, F. Dove, Elda Robb, Maida Carr and Sylva Wixon, the highest brows of Croswell High School. The last exhibit was three shoes carefully preserved in a glass case. The placard below read: “The first shoe was lost by Elmore Putney, sometime during his life. The second, of Ray Niles, was lost by him when he fell in Black River and was re- covered at “great expense” by the Croswell High School. The third shoe was stolen from F. O. Reynolds, during one of his rare moments of study, by the girls who sat around him, aud placed in the museum as a curio.” , _ . Classified Want Ads. TRY A LINER—THEY BRING RESULTS.

History of the Normal Class This work is based on a careful study of the highest recog- nized authorities on the subject. Its purpose is to present in a clear, connected and forcible manner the important events in the history of our Class. The author lias three chief objects iu view,—accuracy of state- ment. simplicity of style, impartiality of treatment. hi preparation for this work her grateful acknowledgments are due to George Davis. President of Clarke Cniversitv; Floyd Reynolds, author of Renbrnok's Histories: Frank Quail, founder «if Manning Institute, and Harrison Blaine Patou, private secre- tary of K. Pickett, noted for her research work. FIRST PFRIOD. Organization of Class. Tuesday. Sept. 1 _ was a day long to he remembered by the Normal Class of 11)12. During the morning groups of girls could he seen here and there con vet sing quietly with each other. We saw one who looked to Ik above the average age of Normals and who seemed almost as though she carried her social much higher than sin did her physical head. She has black hair, hire eyes and narrow, thin lij.s which were always slightly pursed up as the ground work or main support of a cast-iron smile that never left her face for a moment, ller black dress fitted her snugly, making her look as though she had been l oured into the mould that the dress- maker had prepared for her. She is talking particularly to a tall, fair girl, and they seem to be observing the movements of one of the hoys who, by his countenance and actions, formed a marked exception to those who composed the Class, being neither bright looking nor seemingly very ignorant. The person of this individ- ual was not the least ungainly, neither was he in any particular manner deformed. lie had all the bones and joints of the other hoys, without any of their proportions. Fleet, his stature sur- 1 assed that or his fellow students; though seated he appeared re- duced within the ordinary limits. The girls watched him as he walked to tin back of the room and seated himself beside a rosy cheeked lad whose face bore marks of unusual intelligence, but, we regret to say. his comely countenance was frequently marred by the bored expression which he could not repress in working periods. When the pupils inarched to get their wraps at noon, we no- tice that they are dressed in the height of fashion known in Car- son ville. Applegate, Richmond, Port Sanilac. Lexington, and Croswell; but we lind later that they begin to discard their va- rious styles and take that of Croswell. SECOND PERIOD. At the opening of the second period we lind ourselves on the verge of a great civil war with the High School pupils. The turn- ing point took place on the ground known as Robb's Platts. The leader of the Normal side was Lieutenant Patou, who was ably assisted by Colonel English. Lieutenant Reynolds and Private Fat Quail, of the High School, owe their defeat to the Arnold- like treason of Captain George Davis. The treason of Davis was due to the fact that he was not asked to take part in the council of war held at Robb's tavern. The main results: High School army was weakened by one of their chief leaders being put out of commission by a cracked head. Private Fat Quail received several bruises which lie was unable to explain to mamma at breakfast next morning. The brilliant maneuvers of Lieutenant Reynolds won the ad- miration of the fair sex of the High School faculty, while the Normal hoys were forced to visit the tailor shop, due to the en- counter with Will Howard in the potato patch. Howard suffered little, however, due to the protection of Landlord Robb's overalls. The Civil War period was followed by the Psychological pe- riod, which is known as the peried � f hard work in the Normal. As this work is based upon the human mind, the girls made a specialty of nntleology, while the hoys burned the midnight oil on huz7,0logy. This period brought out many of the idiosyncrasies of .the Normal (.’lass, among which was Patou's reason for c hew- ing toothpicks, claiming that ii gave timbre to his voice. This occupation, coupled with the strenuous work given by Miss Walsh on the plain song, has so develo|K-d their vocal organs that they can now sing ninety-nine verses of one song without stopping for breath. Mr. English, when complimented one day upon his excellent choice diction, replied that his knowledge was due to his intimate acquaintance with his grandfather. The monotony of this period was broken by the several parties which the Normals insisted upon attending. The pleasure of these parties was somewhat marred by the fact that our most beloved instructor insisted upon giving written lessons the next day or calling for whole acts of Macbeth to be given orally. Mr. Patou was forced to lose some of bis valuable time in driving the dead wagon, in order to relieve his financial embar- rassment due to his constant attendance at Prof. Benedict’s Lec- tures. The Psychological period was followed by the spring term, which opened disastrously with Miss Pickett’s sickness. During the first week of her absence the (’ivies Class was conducted by Mr. Manning. The climax of his work was the brilliant test which was flunked most ably by the entire student body. The study periods during this time were spent in making fudge and listening to school management lectures in the hull. The second week opened with the arrival of Miss Garland. The boys had made full preparation for her coming by shortening the class hours on the program from forty to twenty minutes. The work was also much lessened by the fact that the Normalites denied having the Geography work up to date. This caused a going over of the work accomplished in two weeks past, and saved the class much valuable time in study. While Miss Pickett’s sickness was not caused by the fool ques- tions and answers of the Normalites. her naturally sweet disposi- tion (?) has been much impaired; for example: Miss Pickett—-Who was James II ?” Miss Muir—-James II was Queen Elizabeth’s son.” Miss Pickett—■‘•You have insulted the old maid.” Miss Pickett—-This is question No. 1. etc. Miss Kroram—-Was that the first question?” Miss Pickett—■‘•What is the northern belt of calms called?” Miss Doyle—“The Horseshoe longitudes.” Miss Pickett In Physiology—-What is an organ?” Miss Kromm—-Why, it is a musical instrument.” Miss Pickett—“Mr. English, what would you do if you were elected president?” Mr. English—“I would give a ‘Farewell’ speech. The Class History at this period comes To an untimely end, due to the fact that Floyd Reynolds has notified us that it is time for it to go to press. In closing we can say as a whole the year has been an enjoy- able one, though it has been necessarily marred, due to the hard work done by the Normals; but we have forgiven the teachers this slight inconvenience and hope that the coming years of the Classes will be as happy as that of iOll-12.
