When we entered, a class of forty-five members, we were placed in a room by ourselves and allowed to get acquainted there. Soon, as an introduction to the new life, the Seniors gave us a party. The Flag Kush, also sponsored by our elders, was the only other big event of that year. We survived the Sophomore year and met again in September of this year to continue our course and progressed with thirty-two members. Early in this year, seeing the need of money, a play was decided upon, “Putting it up to Patty.” With the sincere help of our class teacher, Miss Morehouse, we were able to present it on Thurs- day, December 5th. Our last event in our Junior year was a banquet, which we gave to the Seniors, to show our appreciation for the great deeds they had shown us during their four years of high school life. 15 Mr. Eugene Dumas, Our Janitor We, the Senior Class of Twenty-five, think oui janitor, Mr. Dumas, is a very cheerful one. He is never too busy or hurried to greet or help us. He is the friend in need of each tardy Senior, who needs his cheery smile when he comes in all out of breath with hurrying. 16 17 j Class Roll FIRST ROW (Back): Glen Monroe Hilton McNeil Dorothy Dawe Leona Randall Yetta Stewart Joel Merriman Clayton Chittick Glen Ogden Elmer Otron Mr. Bray, Class Sponsor SECOND ROW: Hilda Reva Eunice Poole Ella Cowan Laura Davis Bernice McAlpine Mary Bryce Ada VanSickle Faye Hunt Myrna Merriman 18 Myrna Mcrriman, President Dorothy Dawe, Vice President Mary Bryce, Treasurer WE, THE SOPHOMORE CLASS OF '25, ARE POPULAR Because WE HAVE PEP AND ARE ALIVE and We are arrived at the conclusion that Elmer Orton’s a Sheik, Eunice Poole’s a Vamp, Faye Hunt’s a Flapper, But It’s Laura Davis who flaps.

At the Sanilac County Athletic Conference of 1924, the delegates decided that the girls of the various towns would have indoor baseball games played out of doors, follow- ing the same schedule as the boys. The girls were to play away, while the boys were playing at home and vice versa. The girls organized a team in Deckerville and began practicing as soon as the weather would permit. When it was time to play the first game, we found to our great sorrow that Sandusky was the only town in the County which had a team organized. Due to the late Spring the other towns had decided that they would not have time to make it worth while. We were not to be daunted. We played a game with Yale, which was lost so badly that we had most of our conceit taken from us. Nevertheless, we played two games with Sandusky, almost tying the first and losing the last by a score that was a joy to forget. In spite of all, we had a fine time and felt that we were repaid for our work. 30 Boys’ Track Team FIRST ROW (Back): Thornton Merriman Mr. Poole (Coach) Stollocker Chittick SECOND ROW: Greenan Mitchell Cowan Martin Tarzwell Girls’ Track Team Chittick Gibbard Davidson Buchkowski Morden 31 Debating Team Under the supervision of Mr. DuVall, a debating team was organized. This was the first team that we have had in Deckerville High School for ten or more years. Mr. DuVall coached the teams until the beginning of the second semester, when a debating class was organized. Two very good teams were developed and three debates were held, two with Croswell and one with Carsonville. All classes in the high school are to receive training along this line in the future and we expect to have some fine teams. We arc not ashamed of the start we have made. 32 Class History In September, 1921, fifty-six timid Freshmen gathered for the first time to explore the mysteries of high school. Because we had the largest class ever entered in Decker- ville High School, we were nicknamed Baby Elephants.” After many words of advice, so generously given, we were ready to begin our task, which was destined to end so glori- ously, or otherwise, in four years. As all Frosh do, we began to feel that we were the most important class in school, for was not our class the largest? The Seniors, not being noticeably bashful, soon made us realize that we were not so important as our number might imply. Our first class meeting resulted in choosing Hazel Bullock president; we also chose our class colors, blue and gold, which we have retained all thru high school. Even in our first year, several members of the class showed marked ability along athletic lines. In the track meet both boys and girls carried off honors. Everyone enjoyed our class parties that year, the most important being the BIG Hallowe’en party held at Clarence Tarzwell’s. In a very different state of mind, we began our second year. Sophomores! Our class had decreased in number and we now were forty-one. Class officers were: Presi- dent, Elinor Daue; Vice President, Hazel Bullock; Secretary and Treasurer, Gladys Cowan. As before, the largest social event was the Hallowe’en party at Jessie Tarzwell’s. An eatless” party! “Eatless” because of the desire of upper classmen for food. We passed a very prosperous year as Juniors. Our officers were Gertrude Paige, Philip Cowan and Ardis Morden. More parties! Again Hallowe’en led, a chicken supper held at Cowan’s. Our Junior play, “Down With Tyrant Man,’’ played to a full house, both in Decker- ville and Argyle. Everyone said that it was very good and we thank Miss Harr for the triumph of it. In athletics our people were making better progress every year. We ended our third wear of high school with the Junior-Senior Banquet, a semi- formal party held in the Presbyterian church parlors. The leaders of our Senior Class were: Gertrude Paige, Elton Thornton, Helen Howard. Our Senior play was entitled, When Smith Stepped Out.” During the last few months of our Senior year our members were deep in plans for graduation. For the first time in the history of the school, the Senior class published an annual, and every Senior devoted the greater part of his time and ability to making this a monu- ment for the Class of Twenty-five. Soon we will have reached the goal toward which we have striven for the past four years. We shall regret the parting with our teachers and associates, but we are anxious to find what the world has in store for us. Our only hope is that we have borne ourselves in such a way that we shall be a good example to the classes which are to follow. 34 Gladys Cowan. Happenings During Our High School Life During our Freshmen year we, of the Class of Twenty-five, had many enjoyable parties. We began the year by having a “weinie” roast at our old faithful. Lake Huron. This was a “get-acquainted” party. The next important event was our Hallowe’en party, which was held in the country at Clarence Tarzwell’s. Never will we forget the good time we had at that party. Many people were initiated into secret societies (the “Truth Society,” in which we discovered some astonishing facts, in regard to heart affairs, of several of our most gallant young men). Refreshments were the most important part of the evening. Another Freshmen party was held out at Gertrude Thornton's. Such a time as wc did have! Miss Sailer was the hypnotist of the evening. The following spring more parties were held at the Lake at West’s and Mordcn’s cottages. Also parties on the beach. Again in school! This year our Sophomore Hallowe’en party was not at Tarzwell’s, but this time at Jessie’s. This was an eventful party because our “Eats” were stolen (Alas!), by some boys (Upper classmen), who apparently decided that they weren’t fed well enough at their own party. Thus our feast, which we had so carefully prepared, was gone and our eats were only home-made candy and apples, which were not with the other supplies and had escaped notice. At this party the maidens of ’75 joined us and danced the modern dances with the best of “flappers.” Another important party outside of the ones held at the Lake was the Caesar picnic, which was in June at Lake Huron. Miss Harr certainly knew how to make a good time for us. And the “eats”! Did anything ever taste so good as those eggs and bacon? Be- sides the fun, we got out of school almost half a day. Our Junior Hallowe’en party was held at Cowan’s and was a big chicken supper. What Fun! Dancing and games were enjoyed by all during the evening. The ONE event of the year, however, was the Junior-Senior banquet, which was held in the Presbyterian church parlors. The room was daintily decorated in the Senior colors. Another event was our class play, “Down With Tyrant Man.” Everyone compli- mented us on it and we repeated it at Argvle to a full house. The proceeds at the latter place going to the Athletic Association. During our Senior year our class parties were not as frequent as formerly due to the extra work of many. The first week of school we gave a “get-acquainted” party and invited the entire High School and Faculty. Our Hallowe'en party was a combined High School affair. The menu was as follows: Cider, apples and doughnuts. Another Senior party was held at the basketball hall. The last few months we were busy with a play, “When Smith Stepped Out,” and graduation exercises. 35 Gladys Cowan. Orchestra Under the encouragement of Leo DuVall, Superintendent, the orchestra has advanced from an unskilled organization to a very efficient one. In the fall of 1923, the orchestra was organized by the orchestra teacher, Mr. Crosby. The first year was one of preparation, only one public appearance being made at the auditorium for Commencement Exercises in June. In the fall of 1924 the work was again renewed with enthusiasm due to the interest taken by Mr. DuVall. To help the work, he plays a clarinet and in the absence of Mr. Crosby leads the orchestra. An orchestra concert was held at the Methodist church the evening of April 29th, for the purpose of raising money to finance the organization. We feel that the orchestra has raised the standard of our school, by giving the pupils music, the dust of every-day school life is washed away and the pupils’ mind and spirit are endowed with rest coming from one of the greatest gifts—music. 36 Thomas B. Poole, Agricultural Teacher We are justly proud of Mr. Poole for his active work in the agricultural department and for his athletic work. Mr. Poole has coached the boys in all athletics for two years, giving his best to them at all times. The agricultural department opened in the fall of 1922. For the first two years the undertaking was financed by the School Board. Through the work of Mr. Poole the school is receiving one thousand dollars a year, under the Smith-Hughes Act. The School Board furnishes a well equipped laboratory for agricultural classes. The teacher must be employed for twelve months; having had four years training in an agricultural college; and had two years actual farm experience. Mr. Poole has reached this standard. His agricultural classes meet daily with some double periods for practical laboratory work. Each student carrying a full agricultural course is required to carry out a farm project for twelve months. These farm projects are to acquaint the pupil with actual farm work. Mr. Poole supervises these for the entire year. By our agricultural department we have raised the standard of the school. For all of which we are indebted to Mr. Poole. 38 39 VERY EFFECTIVE Mr. DuVall: “That was a howling time the baby had last night!” Dr. McLean: “Yes, but did the baby get a good night’s rest after I sent the sleep- ing powder over?” Mr. DuVall: “We don’t know. My wife and I took the powder between us and we went straight off to sleep.” We all deeply sympathize with the ab- sent-minded Frances West, who cleaned the cat’s teeth one night, then kicked her- self out the back door. INSULTED Clayton C.: “I’m off on Elinor. She insulted me.” Gien M.: “How’s that, Gate?” Clayton: “She asked me if I danced.” Glen: “What’s insulting about that?” Clayton: “Why. I was dancing with her when she asked it.” OH! THAT GEOMETRY CLASS! Mr. Bray: “Now, suppose Mrs. Bray and 1 were sitting on a davenport. She is on one end and I on the other. We be- gin to move toward the center. Finally we have moved one-half the distance to the center, and then one-half the remain- ing distance. If we kept this up, would we ever meet?” Curtis D.: “No, but you would get close enough for practical purposes!” TRAGIC Ray: “I’ve got you at last; move, if you dare, move! It’s taken me many years, hut at last I have you where I want you. Now I dare you to move!” Hermic: “Yep, you’re right. It’s the first game of checkers you ever did win from me.” Ardis M.: “What kind of fur do you like first, Frances?” Frances T.: “Oh, Martin!” SERIOUS! Anna B.: “What was the matter with Elinor last night?” Gladys: “Oh! Man chased her.” Anna: “Manchester, again?!!” Stranger at High School: “Hello, you a Frosh ?” Orval P.: “No. This is my fifth year.” Stranger: “What’s the matter? Taking a Post Graduate?” Orval: “No. Taking my time.” EXECUTION Mr. West (at K. P. Banquet): “Miss Jeckell, will you now execute some new rag-time hits for us?” (Helen plays). One of the Audience: “You call that executing a piece? I call it plain mur- der” Mr. Bray: “Have you had static on your radio?” Norman R.: “Well, I have had Los An- geles and Cuba, and I’m sure I could get static if I wanted to.” A MATTER OF CHOICE “George Long!” said Miss Morehouse, sternly, “do you know that you have broken the Eighth Commandment by stealing Vers’s apples?” “Well,” explained George, “I might just as well break the Eighth and have the apple as to break the Tenth and only ‘covet’ it.” 40 TRUE TO TYPE Mother: “Well, Vera, did Elton get sen- timental again last night? Vera: “Yes, mother; but I sat on him —just as you told me to do. DON’T ARGUE “What’s the shape of the earth? ’ asked Mrs. Bray of Clifton Whaling. “It’s round,’ Clifton answered. “How do you know it’s round, Clifton? Then Clifton, sorely beset, replied, “Al- right, it’s square. I don’t want to start an argument about it.’ DELIGHTFUL COMPARISON Mary Davidson: “Some fellows are like bed bugs.” Mary Andrich: “Why?” Mary D.: “When the lights go out they get funny.” WERE WAS THE LIFE SAVER? Mrs. Bray: “Glen dear almost drowned last night.” Miss Workman: “How come?” Mrs. Bray: “The pillow slipped, the bed spread, and Glen fell in a spring.” Mr. Poole (disgusted with his Zoology class) made the following outburst: “You people are dumb-bells today! I have told you everything I know, and now you don’t know anything!” Gladys C.: “Of all the strange jumps and antics. What’s the matter with Mr. DuVall? Is he crazy?” Gertrude: “Just a little absent-minded. He still thinks he’s crossing the street.” Miss Morehouse: “Banged your fingers, Vera? Dear me, that’s dreadful! I al- ways think that hurting one’s fingers sets one’s teeth on edge all down one’s back.” INSINUATION Loraine M.: “Tom tried to kiss me last night and I wouldn’t let him.” Bella O.: “Did it make him angry?” Loraine: “I should say so! He said he wished he had called on you.” Mary Johnson: “Clarence,” she called. He stopped the car and looked around. Mary: “I’m not accustomed to calling my chauffeurs by their first names. What is your surname?” Chauffeur: “Darling, madam.” Mary: “Drive on, Clarence.” There are some fine jokes among our advertising. See if you can find them. s 41 42 FORRESTER’S DEPARTMENT STORE M. M.

Hands and legs were firmly held by a wooden frame, through which they were thrust. I his device was called “the stocks.” Well, that’s one kind of stock that we don’t carry. Don’t believe the demand would be very brisk nowadays. But in almost every other line of merchandise, our stock is adequate and varied enough to take care of your every want. If you have been thinking of sending out of town for some article or several articles, why not bring the list to us and let us tell you just what we can do in the way of filling it? You can then be the judge as to whether to give us vour business. At our store, moreover, you can see the merchandise before you buy. and our guarantee of satisfaction goes with every purchase.
