Oh, thou who rules with mighty hand, With ready tongue to reprimancl, With fairness, an all-round good sport, Always there with a quick retort, Quick of temper, but quick to see Thy faults and find a remedy. To thee we dedicate our best, Not in joke nor yet in jest, Inscribe our Ceniad to thee, Right in the front so all may see. And to thee the class of '21 Dedicate our joys and fun, Our paper Wads, our chewing gum, Class money for the days to come.

I sometimes drop the fish a line, But can't deny These little overtures of mine, Get no reply. Hester had a little lamp, It was Well trained, no doubt. Every time that Phil came in, That little lamp went out. Ma1'y had a Thomas cat, It Warbled like Caruso. A neighbor swung a baseball bat, Now Thomas doesn't do so. A lass, alas is often false, Of faults a maid is made, So Waste no time about her waist Though stayed she is not staid.

On a resolution passed by the East Lansing Board of Education, an inspector from the North-Central Association of Colleges and Universities was invited to our High School with the view of getting E. L. H. S. on the accredited list for entrance without examination to the colleges and universities of that Association. , The result was very favorable. The inspector came one day and found our High School to be one very satisfactory to be put on such an accredited list. He left with some very high compliments of the course of study and the morale of our school. He was very interested in the fact that we had a Student Council here. Soon Mr. Buchanan was notified that the school had passed the in- spection and was to be placed on the list of schools which are considered worthy of preparing students for the universities and colleges of the Asso- ciation. This means that a graduate of East Lansing High can enter such universities as those of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, and Chicago, and all the colleges of the Association without examination, a diploma from East Lansing High being all that is needed to enter the stu- dent in any of these places. . This automatically puts East Lansing High on the accredited list of the University of Michigan for three years without inspection. This is the longest period any school can be on this list. Cl EI Cl THE STUDENT COUNCIL. The High School, meaning the Seventh to the Twelfth grades, inclu- sive, now has a Student Council in operation. This Council is for the pur- pose of fostering good scholarship and training the student body in Self- Government as it should function in Civic Life. It is also to foster an harmonious spirit and understanding between Students and Faculty, and to effectually manage such affairs of general interest to the student body as shall from time to time be intrusted to it by the Superintendent. The Council consists of two women teachers and one man teacherg one of the women teachers elected from the Junior High and the other woman teacher and the man teacher elected from the Senior High School and students from each class. These students are in number four from the Senior class, three from the Junior class, two from the Sopho- mores, one from the Freshmen, and one apiece from the Seventh and Eighth grades. The Council met the first time to elect officers, with the result that Lyle Brook was elected Presidentg Frances Brewer, Vice-President, Mar- garet Plant, Secretary, and Frances, Ayres, Treasurer. The Senior class are proud of the fact that of the four representatives elected by them to the Council, three were chosen as officers.

It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a man there lived, Whom you may know By the name of Socrates. And this man he lived with no other thought, Than to teach or to learn, you see. This man to others his wisdom imparted, In this kingdom by the sea, And they Worked as we never would Work today To become as Wise as he. But in E. L. H. S. they have a class, Who are called the Sophomores. They'll rival Socrates someday, Who lived beside the sea, But I think that they are brilliant now, Don't you agree with me? --MARGARET COGHLAN. A LITTLE MORE THAN KIN. Contributed by CHARLES SWEETMAN, '23. Last year I asked my girl to become my Wife. When she refused, I got even with her by marrying her mother. Then my father married the girl. Now I don't know who I am. When I married the girl's mother, the girl became my daughter, and when father married my daughter, she was my mother. My mother's mother Cwhich is my wifej must be my grandmother, and I, being my grandmother's husband am my own grandfather. lj lil EJ AN ESSAY.

HM... -.,, Neva? - Senior Class Poem. Written by CECIL BARTON, '21. September leaves were falling, September skies were blue, When we first entered High School, and camel as Freshies too, Well, We were all quite perfect, forgetting former pranks, And sat there stiff and silent, while fear stalked in our ranks. We studied hard, We studied long, our marks we tried to raise To Win from teacher just one smile or one small word of praise. The next year, happy Sophomores, we all came trooping back, And now throughout the class, for nerve there surely was no lack, But to follow out that maxim we sadly failed to do- Do ye unto others as you'd have them do to you, For at the poor young Freshmen we poked all sorts of fun, But hope they'll quite forget it of the class of '21, And now our Junior year began, and We were very proud To think of just one aisle between us and the Senior crowd. Now dancing occupied our minds, in fact, 'twas quite the style, And we looked back on our past attempts with a supercilious smile. This little song we called our creed, Be happy while you may, For though the sun is bright and clear, it may not be alway. At last our Senior year rolled round, coming all too soon, And looming large, and straight ahead, was the ever-nearing J une, To study now we turned our thoughts, to reach a certain goal. Consequently Senior names most graced the Honor Roll, While all the classes looked to us to guide their steps aright, And we were thought of by the town as High School's shining light When East Lansing's far behind and we're trying to make our way And care and sorrow come to us and days seem dull and gray, We'll look back on our High School days with all their joys and fun, But, oh! we never will forget the class of '21, Class Will. BLANCHE SAYLES AND CECIL BARTON We, the Senior Class of the East Lansing High School, being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and tran- sitory life of ours, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. First, we order and direct that our executors, hereinafter named, pay all our just debts and graduating expenses as soon after our graduation as may be done conveniently. Second, after the payment of such graduation expenses and debts, we give, devise and bequeath as follows: To Mr. Buchanan we give permission to talk in a kind and fatherly Cor otherwise! way to all erring students who may fail to follow in the straight and narrow pathway which we, in past years, have endeavored to point out to them. And also let it here be understood, we have not only preached and plead with them, but we have practiced our own preach- ings to such an extent that we have been pointed out by competent, im- partial observers as martyrs in a just cause. To the oncoming classes we bequeath the well-worn, thumb-printed and page-torn dictionary which we have many times diligently consulted, striving to carry out the wishes of our illustrious instructors who have for their guiding mottos, When in doubt, consult the dictionary. May they as assiduously follow this counsel. To the Juniors we leave the laboratory and its fixtures, and we ask them to keep it in perfect order, being careful that no thermometers, barometers or test tubes are broken, and may the air pump know the same kind treatment of former years. To the Sophomores we bequeath our splendid faculty, over whom we hope you will keep guard as industriously as we have labored to in past years, and may they give you as little concern and cause for anxiety as they have given us during our guardianship. To the Freshmen we give our bright ideas and our excellent standing on the monthly honor roll. And may they not be deceived by the Freshie who said: ' I would not be an Angel, for Angels have to sing, I'd rather be a Senior and never do a thing. Chuck Armstrong bequeaths his studious bearing and great ora- torical ability to Dean Cribbs. Tibby King gives her wonderful skill in basketball to next year's girls' team. Arthur Gardner leaves his scholarly swing to Horace Thomas. Raynor Hall gives his knowledge of French verbs to Miss Raven. Sidney Whittemore wishes Bruce Davis to accept the position of yell master, which he so nobly and distinctively filled. Fern True leaves her saintly and pious speech to Rachel Brook. Robert Shaw leaves his presidency to any Junior who feels himself to be supremely worthy of that lofty position. To Miss Crocker we leave class room No. 5, where she may continue to give kind and comforting words to all little Freshies who, being com- pelled to remain 8th hour, may come to her with tears in their eyes and seek help and advice. i ' To all the members of the school we give our thanks and bestow upon them our heart-felt blessings and to them We leave the memory of our ever-smiling faces. Lastly, we make, constitute and appoint Mr. A. B. Laycock to be executor of this our last will and testament in consideration of the fact that he has always been at hand in time of need. In witness whereof, we have hereto subscribed our signatures. SENIORS, J UNIORS, SOPHOMORES, FRESHMEN. June, 1921. I' I 3' ,gig 75 Vinri' Ye v-1 I-if S5 A Day in East Lansing High. FRANCES BREWER, '22. 1'll tell you about A Day in the Life of a Child, a child who goes to East Lansing High School. This is it: You get up at 8:10, and the first bell rings at 8:15. And you rush off eating your breakfast on the way. You walk into the assembly room at 8:29 Qlast bell's at 8:30J, and unsuccessfully try to elude the stare of HW. C. B. Ugh! You slink down into your seat feeling like a penny waiting for change. Then perhaps you don't have a first hour class. So you stay in the assembly room and squirm under Miss Fergusonls gaze for 50 minutes. Oh, yes! On Monday the above-mentioned teacher gives the first-hour occupants of the assembly room a lecture on Manners, Morals and Why You Should Let Your Beloved Teacher Precede You Through a Doo1 ' Unto the Schoolb. Finally the bell rings and you, with quite a few mis- givings and a forced smile on your face solemnly march into Advanced Algebra. You sit there for 50 minutes in abject misery and very plainly show Miss Crocker, to your greatest ability, what a fool you are when it comes to Math. You get between 30 and 40 fsometimes you even get 45, if it's your lucky dayj on your problems-oh, joy of all joys! Chuck Armstrong or Margaret Plant may miss a part of oneproblem, or, horrors! even one whole one! Then you go down to Biology Class Csupposed to be Zoology, but we haven't any bugs or animals or humans to bisect, so we Call it biology! and study out of a book and draw all sorts of pretty pictures. Some look like the Battle of the Somme and others like merely a young cyclone, or a cave man, or a canning factory, or most anything you happen to be thinking about. fThey're really supposed to be cells, colonies of bacteria, etc., no one knows but Mr. Voss and ourselves, however, and sometimes We don't.J They look quite a lot like Futuristic Art. Mr. Voss usually talks for 50 minutes on the division of cells, composition of water or something as far distant from the great question of Why Is a Cow? in which we are all so vitally interested. Strange as it may seem, he never touches on that great point, why, in fact, he never even mentions it! Then you go to Spanish Class-the joy of all young Freshmen lads! Sometimes during the class Fritz Taylor will seriously ask, What is the past participle of 'if'? Then you conjugate the verb which means to eat one's self, and then you read out of the reader in which there are 57 words in three lines which you have never seen before. And you get up and stumble around and rave on for a few minutes, until, from somewhere out of the haze which seems to surround everything, you hear, You may stay for the 8th period. 8th period! What sweet C21 music to our sen- sitive ears! Then, after a century or so of Mr. Cribbs' trying to pronounce frente, and two or three other people vainly trying to discover what a Spanish word with three letters in it means, and Miss Ferguson telling Mr. Hutchison to sit in the corner, to which he answers, Shall I sit in the corner or in the chair? Hnally you get back in the assembly P00111 S0fY19' how and then go home to lunch. This, by the way, you have been wanting and needing for quite a while, since all you had for breakfast was two prunes, a hunk of bread and some cold popcorn. Then first period in the afternoon is Ancient History, and you learn why Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and what pax Romana means, and why Rome had poor sewers, etc. Then Miss Ferguson asks if every- one has his notebook, the greatest essential of life! And something seems to burst within your head, or somewhere, and you know that you have forgotten your notebook. Horrors! That is worse than manslaughter, or eating peas with your knife, or spilling your soup! Then, again, out of the haze you hear once more, Stay for 8th period! You try to mumble something about already staying for 8th, so you hear a little more sharply than before, Stay for 9th period! Then next period in the assembly room, under the piercing gaze of Miss Raven, you wrestle with your Algebra problems. When you're finally exhausted you go into English II. In there you try' to appear interested in King Lear, or why force is put in the English book, or why the word structure does not mean the same to a Eskimo as to a Hebrew. Then after 50 minutes of dozing and waking by jerks, you realize that the class is over, and you give a big sigh of relief and beat it back to the assembly room. Then Mr. Buchanan reads out the Black List, or Death List, or whatever seems most appropri- ate to call it, in which are all the names of the unlucky ones who have committed some high crime or misdemeanor, punishable by a sen- tence of two or three extra periods of school. And in the list you hear that Miss Crocker has reported you for talking in the hall at noon. 10th period! Then for about three hours you sit there and try to figure out what was the matter with the guy who wrote about School Days, School Days, Dear Old Golden Rule Days, or something like that. History of the East Lansingl-ligh School. ROBERT SHAW, '21. Thirty years ago East Lansing consisted of a few houses built near the original entrance to the college grounds, which entrance now intro- duces the River Drive. There were almost no houses east of the present Delta Street. The houses on the campus, Where the college professors lived, were then considered an important part of the town. The schooling that the children got was largely through private in- struction during the summer. Any boys or girls who were desirous of education more extensive than the fundamentals, readin', Writin' an' cipehrin', had to go a mile or two east of the town to the Marble school or West to Lansing. One of the earliest attempts at a school was held in the top or tower room of the old college machine shops near where the Hall of Engineering now stands on the Campus. One of the grown-up daughters of a mem- ber of the college faculty gathered together eight or ten children every day for a few months during the summer. They had but one course of study which differed little from the studies of the average rural school of thirty years ago. Moreover, absolutely no traditions of any serious mu- tiny have survived, indicating that government and the maintenance of order was not a very stupendous issue at' that time. Then East Lansing began to grow, and the never-ending problem of providing sufficient school space and accommodation commenced also. School was held in a much larger room, the Y. M. C. A. room in the dormi- tory, Williams Hall. But school was often held rather irregularly. It was still a private enterprise, and consequently there were some summers when there wasn't a teacher, there was lack of interest in the school and pupils often did not come if they didn't feel like doing so. By 1900 people began to realize the need of a good public school, and a school meeting was held in the White Elephant, a building which used to stand on the corner of Harrison Avenue South and Michigan Avenue. It was decided to purchase land upon which to build a schoolhouse, and as soon as possible to have a schoolhouse constructed. In the meantime a teacher was to be engaged and school held in the Y. M. C. A. room as before. Miss Hill was engaged as teacher for the first three months at S30 per month. School took up about the first of October, with about 40 pupils present. Something went wrong fuse your own imaginationl, al- though what the trouble was is not now known. At the end of the three months' term, they had to get a new teacher. In 1901 school was held in a barn which stood some distance back from what is now the Senior House on the Campus. The horse stalls were knocked out, the windows washed and a stove installed. It was crowded and such conditions would now be considered scandalous, but everyone was there, intent upon learning all he could. In the meantime the site of the present building had been purchased from Mr. Saltmarsh for 3250, and a one-room brick building was nearly done. The building, including a well and some other improvements, cost 31,364 exactly. It was occupied at once and became the center of the so- cial activity of the town. But about the only social function outside of school was Sunday School. The Sunday School teachers were an honest lot in those days. In order not to use up school coal on Sunday, they used to get up early Sunday morning and go down to the school lot and split oak stumps enough for fuel for the day. The school was so crowded in four years that a kind of overflow school had to be held in the White Elephant, the proper name for which building is Harrison Hall. The following year, 1905, the building was remodeled and a hallway and second floor added. This hallway was used in later years for one of East Lansing's-voting places. By 1909 another addition was made to the school. This time an attempt was made to settle the space question for some time to come. In front of, and attached to, the old building, a whole new building was built, consisting of a complete basement downstairs, two large rooms on the first Iioor, which would ac- commodate two grades each, and a large auditorium on the second floor. But even this new addition became crowded in five or six years, and a new room for the seventh and eighth grades was built in the east end of the auditorium just a year or so before the fire. This of course crowded the High School, so the seniors were allowed to come to school only at recita- tion periods. One of the first teachers that the present senior class has cause to re- member is Miss Dondero, who was teacher of the first and second grades exactly twelve years ago. Professor Rosa, a six footer, was the superin- tendent at that time, and every first grader well knew what would happen to him if he ever had to visit the superintendent's office. Since Professor Rosa's regime we had in rapid successions Professors Bishop and Williams, and then Professor Lewis, who was in charge when the present seniors were freshmen. Few will forget the course in physiography the first semester of that year. At last, March 5, 1917, that wonderful night fwonderful to us small boysj when the good old schoolhouse burned. Since it was the second disastrous fire in 36 hours, but few people heard the alarm. It was con- sidered an unimportant blaze at first, and people had gone home when the fire broke forth from all the hollow partitions of the building. What caused the fire, why it was not extinguished, or what it would cost the community was a small matter to us, for we got out of school for a whole day. This chaotic condition was handled very well and quickly and the next morning Supt. Lewis was mustering us in at the People's Church. The church was crowded, and in some parts the light was not quite strong enough for study, but this was vastly better than nothing. The books were ordered and the best possible arrangements were made to provide proper conditions and facilities for study, among the most prominent of which was a supply of pieces of thick plaster board, two feet wide and three feet long, to be used for desks in writing. These promptly became almost anything from easels and spring boards to kindling wood. But in the main part the school spirit was uninjured by the fire. Few forgot to take their books home each Friday night that the church might be used over the week-end in the way for which it was designed. Almost immediately the work of clearing away the ruins of the old schoolhouse began. This process and the construction of a new building all required time. But soon enough we were ready to occupy the new building which was much the same as it is now, with the exception that it was not crowded. Superintendent Lewis stayed with us until we were past the whole crisis created by the fire, then bidding us farewell he went to take a new position in a western State. Then the air was filled with rumors of the fiery dragon, the ex-pugilist who had slain ten with one blow, a champion in the lists of the athletes who was to be our lord and master. School opened two years ago fnext falll and to our great surprise no one was struck dead nor were we overwhelmed with don'ts and long lists of rules. This spring we have taken a broad step toward self-government. Under the direction and supervision of our lord and master, Superin- tendent Buchanan, we have formed a Student Advisory Council to formu- late rules of conduct for ourselves and to express the will of the school in all matters of precedent and policy. The aim of the school and the council is to establish the highest attainable standards of scholarship and individual conduct in its members and in every way to make the East Lansing High School 2. larger and a more perfect institution. This humble history is written with apologies to everyone I've copied off'n, or pestered with my questions, and to some that I did not but should have. EAST LANSING HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING Class lDl'Opl'1CCy. DOROTHY GILTNER and HESTER HEDRICK, '21. PARIS, FRANCE, April 18, 1931. Dear Dorothy: We have just arrived in Paris and we're all having such a good time that I must write and tell you all about it. As you have doubtless learned from the papers the East Lansing Girl Basketball Wonders are still successful. We won the Eastern title at St. Petersburg last week and tonight we are here for our tinal game which we feel will be very easy and then-World's Champ! Mr. and Mrs. Buch- anan have promised to take us to Berlin for a rest and a reward just like the old Chop Suey used to lure us on to victory. We were very pleasantly surprised when we met Miss Raven, our old language teacher, here today. She is studying in the French Academy of Fine Arts. She invited us to her salon, where we were entertained vcry elaborately. She surprised us agreeably by inviting some of the old members of '21. Frances Ayres, now the great American artist, whose husband is a French composer and her accompanist who, with Marion Pierce, now one of the World's finest mezzo sopranos, form a world's renowned trio, and are living in Paris at present. The Maxwell Seeley of our High School days is now a struggling artist in Paris' Greenwich Village. He is very picturesque-being yet unmar- ried. Frances told us that Wanda Durga, Winifred and Eva Gubbins are chorus girls in the musical comedy Ahoy! Good Ship Okemos ! now play- ing at the Theatre du Diable. Wanda, Frances says, has heard fre- quently from Ray Cook, who, with Frank Robb, is now experimenting out in Northeastern Russia with sweet spirits of nitre and oleomargarine as a remedy for quack grass. You will remember how we were troubled with it in the old school gardens. While we were deeply engrossed in reminiscing, in walked Blanche alias Sally le Blanc, the noted playwright and author of the much dis- cussed plays, The Whyforei of Whichness, Why the Ooping-Poof '? and Why Did They Do It? Her works seemed questionable. She said she had heard from Fern True, who is now Mrs. Charles Armstrong. Their motto seems to be Down Life's Path on a Math. Book. This is about all I have time for right now, but let me tell you a little bit of scandal to think about. Thelma and Lyle were secretly married on the boat coming over, and Tibby, the old faithful, was the only one present. Lyle had some business in London, after which he came on to Paris, from whence he sailed, for the States, after they had been honey- mooning for a week. We didn't know about it until after Lyle left, so we had a celebration for Thelma, which ended in tears- and We're East Lansing. Write and tell me all the news. The team sends their love to every- body at home. HESTER. P. S.-What do you think? Margaret Plant has become so deeply interested in Apache dancing that she is going to sojourn here and devote the rest of her life to' its study. Izzy Miller is going to stay here also, having been offered the posi- tion of a leading model in one of the most chic Parisian clothing shops. EAST LANSING, YE AULDE HOME TOWN. Dear Hester: I was delighted to get your letter and I've passed it around to everyone in East Lansing, including the business men. Did you know that Ted Hendershott is now president of M. A. C. and Bgb Shaw Dean of Agriculture? He has made some wonderful experi- ments and discoveries and his combination of the tomato seed and lettuce has resulted in the famous Shaw salad. Raynor Hall is utilizing his dancing talent and is now Dancing Mas- ter at the College, advocating the arms-length camel walk as a specialty. The same old Raynor. Clara Woodworth has taken over the Style Shop and is Lansing's best modiste and milliner. Sidney Whittemore and Arthur Gardner are devoting their lives to searching for the fossils of the missing link. Noble Darwinians! Speaking of foreign countries, Martha Delamarter and her husband are missionaries in China. They have sent back some interesting sou- venirs. What do you think? Cecil Barton and Hazel Coon are at the head of a Hair-net factory, which industry still flourishes, due to the fact that the style of hair-dressing has not changed. Russell Parker, the great American tenor, is filling engagements in all the capitals of South America with wonderful prospects. He has married a famous South American beauty whom we are anxious to see when they return to the United States in July. Speaking of marrying, I am glad to hear that the struggling young artist of your letter is still unmarried. Have much to tell you when you return. At present I am teaching swimming at the College. Trifle not with dukes and counts, Hester, because there is someone back home waiting for you, and the same reminder to the rest of the girls. East Lansing extends her congratulations and is planning a hearty welcome for the victors when they return. DOROTHY. P. S.-I saw by the Berlin paper which you sent me lwith a graphic account of your arrival and celebrationl that the brilliant Sylvia King has become a charming danseuce and will remain, in Europe to fill contracts.

Substitute It is hardly possible to make special mention of any part of the easy, smoothly-running machine which has performed this season as the East Lansing High School Girls' Basketball Team, because each player filled her position with such ease and skill that to mention one would mean to mention them all. It is only necessary to say that their wonderful team- work was recognized by everybody, including the leading basketball critics of the State, and that the faculty and students of the school are proud of their work this season. It might be well to say that this year was the first time in three years that the East Lansing Girls' Team was defeated, but their return game with Birmingham, at whose hands the defeat was suffered, saw them go into the game full of the old-time pepper and fight, characteristic of all East Lansing athletic teams. There was little doubt in the minds of those who saw this return game but what East Lansing could rightfully claim the State's championship for this, the third consecutive year. This year the team will lose Hester Hedrick, Thelma Kling, Sylvia King, Margaret Plant, Isabelle Miller and Lea Jensen, who will all be missed at the opening of next year's basketball season. Much credit is due to Coach Buchanan, otherwise known as papa coach, for the time and energy he has spent in showing the girls' team how to bring home the bacon. At the First Annual Basketball Banquet it was announced that Mar- garet Shoesmith was to be captain of ,next year's team. The best wishes and promises of the heartiest support are extended to the new captain and next year's team by the graduating class. i El II U Track. Under the direction of Coach Bigger, who was a prominent track man in his High School and College days, a track team has been organized in the school. The prospects of a good team are very bright, and it is hoped that this line of sport, with tennis, will be introduced in to the program of sports in the school. Work with the team has been carried out on the college track, which was very kindly granted us through Coach Brewer. This is only one in- stance of the kind co-operation Mr. Brewer has extended to us, for he has shown an active interest in all athletics in the school, and has been a big factor in helping all athletic work as well as scholastic furtherance, which he carries out through his position on the Board of Education. The whole school is very grateful to Mr. Brewer for all the help he has given us. The line-up of the track team is about as follows: Horace Thomas .......................... Distances Donald Seble ....... ........... D istances Theodore Thompson .. ............. Distances Duncan Hudson ..... . . .Dashes, Discus Throw William Waid . . . ................

Distances, Dashes Coach Bigger has entered the team in the interscholastic track meet to be held in Kalamazoo on Saturday, May 7, and the team will leave for Kazoo with all the support that any team in the school was ever backed by. Baseball. With this spring another baseball team was started, with the hope that the team would have more success than that of last year. A turn- out of enough men for two teams the first night was a very encouraging factor, although the squad was worked down to about twelve players after a Week or so of practice. Pitching material is about the same as that of last year, Hall working the hardest game, with Foster playing third base, ready to go into the box. The line-up is about as follows: Warren Pierce ......... .... C atcher Raynor Hall . . . ...... Pitcher Maxwell Seeley .... ..... F irst Base Richard Lyman ....... .....

Two games with Battle Creek and two with Saginaw make up the schedule for the first year. The girls' team will probably consist of Frances Brewer and Hester Hedrick, who can beat any of the players on the college girls' team. The boys' team will have Donald Hendershott, with a teammate to be chosen from several candidates working for the position. It is hoped that this line of sport will continue to have a place in East Lansing High School in com- ing years. Football. With the opening of the football season at the East Lansing High School, great enthusiasm Was shown by the twenty candidates for posi- tions on the team, it being the iirst time in three years that the school was represented on the gridiron. The first few practices, under the direction of Coach Fred Voss of Hope College, were spent in learning the rudiments of the game while later time was spent on signal drill and team work, besides the much disliked bucking, tackling the dummy and running, which were to harden the play- ers for the games of the season. Although a good many of the candidates were inexperienced, every one showed a willingness to learn, and each put all he had into the game. The Schedule: I Score Team Played. E. Lansing. Opponent.

'WVELL 'I'IVEI.LOO:I BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM. Boys' Basketball. As soon as the football suits had been put away for another year Coach Voss issued a call for basketball and enough material for four teams reported out for practice. The squad was soon narrowed down to two teams, however, and practice was begun in earnest. A hard schedule be- fore the team kept the spirit of practices very intense, and the players missed very few practices. Two Class A teams in the State were defeated by East Lansing this year, Benton Harbor falling before the college city lads to the tune of 18 to 16, and Saginaw High going down to defeat on the college court to our boys by a 20-to-12 count. These results were very pleasing to Coach Voss, even though the team did not show up so well in some of their less impor- tant games. The whole season was one of hard fighting and clean play- ing by everyone of the team, and these characteristics, together with the excellent team work and lack of individual playing, made the team highly commendable in the eyes of the followers of sport.

After beating East Lansing, Britton climbed to second place in the Ypsilanti preliminaries, which speaks fairly Well for the caliber of the local team. 4? QA l E, ES lY N f' MEP 1 if il is 1?

The boys and girls were restless, And the teacher restless too, She'd almost lost her temper, As teachers often do. Now J ohny Jones had just received A note from Willie Brown, Asking him to skip next day And see a show down town. But Johnny Jones to Willie Brown Did not sit very nigh, And Johnny wondered how he could Send back the note's reply. Just then a breeze blew through the door, And John hit on a scheme, He let the note Hy from his hand, An artfull trick, I deem. And luckily the breeze did take It straight to Willie Brown. Unluckily just then Miss Smith Did raise her head and frown. William, stand and read that note, Miss Smith threw back her head. Young William stood and cleared his throat, All right, he meekly said. Then he sat down, Miss Smith stood up, Do you hear what I say? Please stand and read that note you have, Obeyme right away. So William stood, threw out his chest, And with great pomp began. Al1right, Was all the rascal said, And then sat down again. Then back to Williams' desk Miss Smith Did make a hurried flight, She snatched the note and from it read, The one lone word Allright. -HPETE.

This book didn't fall from heaven, like the manna in the wilderness. Oh, no! Bk bk Sk Pk if Sk Pk Sk ak H4 Before you close this little book of memories please pause for a brief spell for spasmj while I try to tell you who has contributed towards mak- ing it a success, if you think it has been one. Those patrons of our book known as the advertisers have been very charitable in responding to our begging for money. There must have been something very pitiable in our cause, for these business houses have responded so graciously to our pleading that their collection has paid for nearly half the financial expense of our book. The advertising manager always stood before his prospective contributor with his hat in his hand, bottom side up, to remind him that we were passing the hat. And you can believe this. Every one of these contributors deserves your patronage and good will. We also feel grateful to the five under-classes who have considered it worth ten apiece to have their group pictures printed in our book. Their fifty went a long way. Same to the Seniors who all paid two apiece for the privilege of having our book enlightened by their countenances in miniature. And this makes me blush. Mr. Buchanan, to whom this book is technically dedicated, has been so bothered by our questions, and so annoyed by our seeking advice on various matters concerning How to Publish a Ceniad, that he must consider our book his, dedicated and given to us. What a help it has been to have a Ceniad published the year before to refer to. We would have been entirely at sea on several matters had we not had the Ceniad of the class of '20 to refer to. Thanks, Russ, for naming our book. N011 many Of US know that Russell Parker named the Ceniad when it was first published by the preceding class. That's not all. If I were to mention everyone who has helped in one way or another, our book would be as big as Webster's Dictionary. So I'll stop here. Hope you enjoyed our book, our meaning East Lansing High School's. YE EDITOR. E XQQRE ,f Q -.0 93.
