Assembly Programs The assembly periods of Wednesday mornings were given over to programs, among which were vocational talks by people of tl.e community, school programs, and talks by the ministers. The vocational talks were as follows: Mr. R. A. West on banking, Mrs. Miner on teaching, Mr. Turrel on pharmacy, Mr. E. R. Pomeroy on undertaking and the furniture business, Mr. Tweedie on photography, and Miss Wilcox, the Port Huron librarian, on library wrork. These people brought to us out of their experience information that will be used in the choosing of our life vocations. We greatly enjoyed the inspirational messages of Rev. Jermin, Rev. Gaige, Rev. Miner, Fr. Roberge, Rev. L. Grice and Rev. Rounds. Besides these a delightful variety of entertainments were rendered by some of the classes: Mathematics program by the ad- vanced Algebra class, a pageant on the constitution by the American History class, a mock trial by the Commercial Law class, and a French play by the French 12 class. The Christmas program, of the miscellaneous type and very enjoyable, was sponsored by the Board of Control. “Surprises'’ and “Tommie's Callories were two comedies given by the seniors and the eighth graders. As a result of the baseball ticket selling contest the juniors and freshmen were required to give a program to the seniors and sophs. Many other speakers have been enjoyed during the year, namely, Mr. Rieman, Mayor Barlow, Dr. Sinai, Mr. Phillips, Mrs. McDou- gal, Dr. McColI, Mr. Musser, Dr. Westphal and Dr. Pittman.

Boys’ Athletics The boys of C. H. S. have always maintained a creditable standard in the four fields of athletics, football, basketball, baseball and track. The football season started this year with but four veterans on the team, Harold Gilbert (Captain), John Aitken, Everett Hill and Wesley Ferriby. Owing to injuries Gilbert could not finish the season and John Aitken was elected acting captain. All did well and honor was bestowed upon C. H. S. in having John Aitken placed on the All-Star Thumb Eleven. Basketball practice started December 15. The team was formed around Capt. John Aitken, the only veteran of the previous year. Although the losing column outweighed the winning column, a fighting spirit was carried throughout and the season ended with fine prospects for next year’s team. The squad was composed of Capt. Aitken, Capt.-elect Phillips, Bartley, Hurley, Howard Gilbert, Ferriby and Penn. Prospects for baseball for 1926 look very promising with plenty of green material with which Coach Pieman can form a team with the veterans, Aitken, Phillips, Ferriby and Lawson. The track season of 1925 was most successful. Four representatives, Harold Gilbert, D. Powell, A. Conlen and L. Wagner, were sent to the state track meet at East Lansing where a silver cup was won by the quartette as the second best team, losing first by the slight margin of one point. They also, with the rest of the track team, easily won the County championship of 1925. Coach Heem- stra faces the problem of developing a practically new track team for this season but high hopes are held for the coming meet, June 7.
