The right stuff implies that you must have something within you that wants to motivate. “Education is action. Learning is an active and not a passive affair.” You cannot sit still and with- out any exertion on your part learn anything. You must work. The minute something goes to work within your own head, then there is hope; then you have the right stuff to go to college and make something of yourself. The college or university is one of the best helps to you providing you use it rightly. It cannot do everything tor you but it can help wonderfully. Some of the things a well spent college life can do tor you are: It will give you a broader outlook on life. You come in contact with the big men of history. You learn of things they have done, their trials, tribulations, experiences, the obstacles they have had to overcome and the courage of conviction they have hail to possess in order to become great. By so doing their thoughts become your thoughts and you are not limited by the narrow gossip of today or the little realm of one who does not try to grow or develop. The college life will inspire. You will come in contact with persons whose presence alone is an inspiration. The good ones will be “always pointing the way upward.” Then there are the associations formed with one’s fellow-students. The majority of students are there for a purpose. That purpose is to make something of themselves. That attitude is like a contagious disease, you cannot help but be influenced and have your character molded by it. Many a college man will tell you that he values the friendships formed in college more than anything else. The college develops confidence and individuality in a man. Each one has within him latent possibilities which need developing. Delving into the problems and unknown truths put before him and solving them gives him the necessary stimulus and individuality spoken of. It intensifies and teaches him the power which he possesses. A higher institution of learning will tend to mold a sympathy for all classes of people. It will tend to make you a more useful citizen. It will tend to make you of more service to a community. The college aims to make of a man a well-rounded one. The sound body is the first requisite, as a foundation is necessary for any house to exist. Organizations exist to teach higher moral planes and the every day work enlarges the mental side. A college trained mind stands one in good stead in times of adversity. New industries like the automobile, the farm tractor and the airplane are continually developing while others are going into obscurity. No one can tell very far in Srvs n advance when his vocation will go out of existence. Theodore Roosevelt used to tell the story about his grandfather who said that he was in a business that would last forever. He manufactured sickles. Grain would always be raised and would have to be cut. Soon the cradle was invented which cut ten times as much as the sickle. This made his profession disappear. Then the reaper and the binder followed. Some more occupations were not needed. Kducated minds easily adjust themselves to new surroundings and enable them to readily grasp new ideas. There is also the discipline gained through the work necessary to obtain the education. And, if you have to work your way through college, so much the better since Life itself is a struggle and you are that much better prepared for it. You will have received that much more training that is indispensable to life itself. Any- one may secure a college education if he has sufficient ambition, willingness and the will power to work for it. Mr. Grace, head of the Bethlehem Steel Works, says that he cannot picture a condition where a young man cannot obtain a college education if he is deadly in earnest. He will find some way to do it. If he cannot get it in four years he will take ten years. I hen, this is the day of specialists and one may secure the training for which he thinks he is best adapted. In former years all studied the classics no matter what vocation he intended to follow. It is different now, as courses of study are offered to meet the different needs and one may enter this special training course at once. Perhaps best of all is that feeling that comes to one who is always ready to extend a helping hand to those who have not had his advantages and the respect that will be accorded him and to feel the satisfaction in living that he never could have if his mind had not been well-trained.

Who dragged three studies and carried one. And who knew from experience it was no fun. There are only eight of them left today Fight (from sixteen) to leave in May. There are Mary Yetter, Salutatorian and President, And Harold Gray, a studious gent! There is Lois Hoadley, so very shy If the boys looked at her it would make her cry. There is Hazel Burns who does all the recitin’ And Gerald Williams- he does the fightin . There is Ethel Mitchell she’s awful dumb! Yet they choose her a Valedictorian. There is Lucyle Palmer, she was president ton. In our Junior year she helped us through. Don’t know Melvin Seel? Why where’ve you been? Do you see that fellow with a comical grin? That girl right across from where you sit, We used to know as Mildred De Witt. And Helen Winans we used to know, too. They both left school for a “matrimonial view. There was Louise Kreitag and Genevieve Bay, St. Joe. and Benton Harbor claim them today. Theodore Kesterke, we knew him as “Pete,” And Elton Rector both beat a retreat. Likewise Warren Andrews and Philip Moore Slipped quietly out through the back door. Holland Moody left us for class ’2d He’ll graduate next year as you can see. Our class patrons were always on hand, Ona Enders, Arthur Balfour, and Clarance Hatland. In 1918 we choose “Brown and Gold,” Tis our class colors yet—it has never grown old. In 1919 our High School burned down, Our new one is the finest building in town. W e’ve had many a party these four years, And many a “roast” not of weenies I fear. We’ve been very bright in our classes too. Even if we didn’t say “what we knew.” But if what subjects we like, I know, Algebra, Latin and Physics wouldn’t stand much show. Yet in after years you’ll find our names If vou’ll only look in the Halls of Fame! E. M.—’22 fnurt • n LUCYLE PALMER “Not by her size, but by her disposition is she judged.

HEN we meditate upon various events of our lives, there is not one among us to whom the mere mention of the words, “New Year’s Eve”, does not recall some vision of a most treasured or loathed |memory. Moreover, perhaps no two of us would picture the same aNj J] things. It is then that meetings and partings, sorrow and gladness, past and future, loom before our eves. Then some of us think of the Past Years, others think of the opening of the New Year, and still others of the New Years to come. But hriends and Classmates, did vou ever stop to compare the Evening of the Old Y ear with the Evening of High School life? Those of you who did have some idea of the Dawn of new era in the lives of those who on Commencement night cheerfully turn toward whatever future Fate has in store for them. Allow me to picture for you the contrast between the Evening of the Old ear and the Dawn of the New Year. In one picture far away in the South West the sun is going down. It has sunk lower and lower until it’s red lips have kissed the cheeks of the calm Pacific. The glory of this sunset has filled air, sea, and sky with light and shadow. In the next picture the midnight of the Old Year hasv anished. The New Year is ushered in representing a faint beam of sunlight slanting forward and falling in a Land of Promise. Can we not truthfully say that for us, too the dawn of our new life is as a beam of sunlight in a Land of Promise of the future? 'Truly one gate is closed but another to a better pathway is opened. 'The New Year for us represents a great stairway that leads upward for an infinite number of steps. We have taken the first step now and there is no turning back; nor should there be any standing still. I he thoughts that I have tried to express here may be clearly summed up in the words of Butler, when he said: “Life is before you! From the fated road Ye cannot turn. Then take ye up the load, Not yours to tread or leave the unknown way, Ye must go o'er 7, meet ye what ye may. Truly we may meet countless difficulties. But if we look back over life’s pathway we will find that with each succeeding generation opportunities, especi- ally those for girls, have grown greater. The fact that a considerable majority of pupils in American High Schools today are girls makes it hard for us to realize, that three quarters of a century ago a girl was not expected to have more than a grammar school education and was not permitted to obtain a degree from any important college. There were times, too, not many years ago when boys and girls, working under the same conditions and doing the same amount of work as an adult were not paid even half the wages thatadultsreceived, andat thesame timethey were kept from getting even a grammar school education. 'These times, thank fortune, are past. They are merely shadows of the Old Year. Whether the future shall be a “Millstone about our necks,” or a “Diadem on our brow,” is for us to decide. The obstacles of a few centuries ago have been removed and the present century promises to be one of human improvement. We have been given a chance through the great sacrifice of our parents and for their sakes it is up to us to make the most of each passing moment. They are looking forward to the time when we shall win and we will not disappoint them. All life is a preparation for greater things. Those things which seemed so Sixtrtn important in the past seem so unimportant as we climb up to higher things. We have only one life to live and we want to do our best with it. The question of life is not, however, “How much time have we?”—for each person has all there is. The question is rather, “What shall we do with our time?” If we do not do the work we were ordained to do, it will forever remain undone. In theannalsofeternity there will be that which we should have had. A person may work in the dark, but some day, light shall beam upon his labor. Although he mav never with his own lips declare the victory complete, some day others will behold in his life’s work the traces of a great and thinking mind. How true are these words of Emerson, “Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do some feat impossible for others.” There are no two of us with the same kind of work or the same opportunities. Some of us pass quickly up to fame; others struggle bravely through countless difficulties; and still others seem content with the shadows of the Old Year. With this thought in mind that God put us in a place abounding with oppor- tunities that we are capable of filling, many difficulties that beset our careers can be conquered. As long as we live we shall have a task to do. 'I hat we are alive today is positive proof that there is something for us to do. As Doctor Trumball says, “On what we do today may depend the success and completeness of our entire life’s struggle.” Why not then today if we have not already chosen, choose some goal toward which we may strive to w'in success in the future? We may never reach our ideal in life. It may keep floating on before us. But the sailor never reaches the Northern Star, yet without it he may never come to port. The dawn of his success was reached by following the beam of sunlight that pointed to the Land of Promise. Likewise, we, as individuals, may never reach our ideal in life, but still mere striving for it will help to avoid many stumbling blocks along life’s pathway. We may look up to it, as, “a lamp unto our pathway,” to guide our footsteps, as the beacon from the far-off lighthouse serves to guide some sailor home over a stormy sea. Classmates, as we face the Dawn of the future, whatever the Evening of the past might have been, let us remember that diplomas are merely stepping stones to the greater success of the pathway that leads upward toward our goal. “ And then only the big world shall praise us. And only the big world shall blame; Tho’ we work for the joy of the winning. And climb up the pathway to fame; For each in our separate calling Our separate thoughts must express. As we follow the gleam as we see it. To the goal that to us means—Success. IVe are leaving our High School forever. With the dawn of a new life in view. Yet we pause awhile before going And silently bid you adieu. —Ethel Mitchell Stvsntfrn CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 6—First day of School; Seventy-four pupils enrolled, thirty-six of whom where Freshmen. 8— Seats rearranged. “Tis hard to part with those we love.” 9— First Senior Class meeting.

(Continued on page 22) Eightftn E, THE class of 1922, of the Eau Claire High School, F.au Claire, Michigan, being about to pass out of this sphere of education— in full possession of a crammed mind and well trained memory— hereby proclaim this our last will and testament, making void all former wills or promises by us heretofore made or carelessly spoken. hirst, unto the school we leave our noisiest yells that have been composed and made use of, on condition that they shall be kept in constant usage. Second, unto our beloved faculty we leave all the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them with from time to time on our various examination papers. We leave the keys of a “Certain room” with “Shorty,” the Janitor, with the understanding that he shall not lend them to Mr. Dunn. We leave the right to become pianist to Ardis Baker on condition that she let I.ouis Brule and Burton Richards play a duet once in a while. To Mr. Balfour we leave all the new facts furnished by the Physics Class to be used in an “Advanced Course in Physics.” Melvin Seel leaves part of his skill as cartoonist to Donald McCoy. Donald is not to use the Freshmen as models. We leave Miss Ludden all important dates made (and kept) by the Seniors as a reminder that we were “always doing and never pretending.” To John Hogue and Donald Clark we leave the right to act as traffic cops to keep “some” from exceeding the speed limit in coming to school or going to classes. To Miss Skinner we leave all our music and “Art.” Gerald Williams leaves his fondness for study to whoever needs it. Apply early and avoid the rush. We leave the Sophomore girls in care of Jacob Lutz. Lois Hoadley leaves her basket ball suit to Lissabel Holle or Ida Momany. To Miss Voigt we leave a rest for the nervous breakdown she has received from looking over orations. To Lucy Kirk we leave a steady beau. We leave all paper wails found on the floor of the assembly room to the Freshmen, as we hate to keep anything that does not belong to us. To Rolland Moody we leave a Baker. All pennies left over in the treasury are to be spent in purchasing high chairs for Frank Brule and Keith Young. Witnesses: Signed: Class of '22 ETHEL MITCHELL Ninrtfrn r K R COMM E N CE M E N T—W HAT? t Friends, my classmates have conferred upon me the great honor speaking the words that shall bid you welcome here tonight, t is with light hearted feelings that we, as a class, stand tonight at he meeting between a happy past and an unknown future. We, s high school seniors, have reached not the end but the beginning of the more serious phase of life. We have been led through paths to this bend in the road and now we are eager to make the turn into the arena of the world’s progress; and to consider something of what our part in its great battles are or ought to be as citizens of the greatest republic and the grandest nation in all the world. Isn’t it glorious that life is one infinite succession of commencements and promotions? It is a grand thing to say that “Beyond the Alps lieth Italy.” But you can never really say that until you know it by struggling up over the Alps of difficulties and seeing the Italy of promise and victory beyond them. It is fine to say, “We are rowing and not drifting:” but you cannot realize the true meaning of these words until you have pulled on the oar. Classmates, we have come to the cross roads leading to different ways of life. Which road shall we choose? This decision is one of the most important deci- sions in life. Shall we just take up a common business life; shall the boys go back to the farm; shall we choose the college life and thus receive more education; or shall we choose to immediately enter upon one of the many other business occupations too numerous to mention? But before we decide let us for a moment briefly review some of the lives of our former graduates. Are they all satisfied with the road they have chosen? Some have gone home to remain until something may call them away; some have taken up a business course and have entered the business world; other have gone back to the farm; and others are going on with their education. Which of these patterns for life seems to be the best and happiest to us? Happiness lies in progressing—in developing a greater character; it is the joy of overcoming; it is the delight of an expanding consciousness; it is the cry of the eagle mounting upward; it is found in our work not outside of our work. If we cannot find happiness, we have the wrong work. Let us strive to find the work that fits our talent and stop watching the clock and planning vacations. If you do not like your chosen work of course you will be carrying a terrible burden and will sooner or later collapse. Many people fret away their lives and accomplish nothing because they are not able to reach a definite decision about their life work and then stick to it. Many who have a case clearly in mind can never be certain what their opinion is, because they seem to be evenly divided and as a result do not count on either side of the issues which confront everyone. Decision, Determination, Stability and Fixedness of purpose are closely related. The person who lacks any of these can scarcely hope to make a success in life. How often do we see men or women about to decide to do a thing; soon they begin it; then wish they had not started and still cannot make up their minds to turn back. Compare such a person with one who reaches a solid con- clusion that he is going to make his venture a success. What are the relative chances of the two for attaining the object they have set our to achieve? On an average the roads of life are difficult ones to travel. Moreover the one who succeeds is the one who starts out with a grim determination to win in spite of all obstructions that may arise in his path. An example of this is shown in Napoleon’s life. When he was thirty years old he was given command of the French army. He desired to attack Austria from the north; but to do so it was necessary to take the army over the Alps Mountains. An engineer was sent to examine the St. Bernard Pass. When he returned he reported that it was nearly Tw'ntv impossible to pass through it. Quick as a flash Napoleon’s decision was made, and he said, “Then we will go.” They succeeded in passing over the mountains, rushed out into the plains of Northern Italy; won the battle of Marengo; and Napoleon was made Emperor of France. Had he lacked decision and only entered upon this project half- heartedly he would probably have failed, and the history of the world would have been different. Another illustration of the power of decision is Woodrow Wilson. He decided that the United States should enter the war; and, as a result today the American soldiers are honored, and the American flag is respected by our Allies and dreaded by our enemies. Decision is particularly important for us young people for without it we are almost sure to be foredoomed to failure. We should study carefully every condi- tion that confronts us, but having reached a decision go forward with firmness anil steadfastness and in the end success will be the final reward. Therefore let us make our decisions correctly as well as promptly. But besides our decision there must also be a character. We, therefore, must strive to build a character, that is an individuality which is the product of our nature, our habits, and our environments. This differs from a reputation in that it is what we are, while our reputation is what people think we are. Sometimes they are the same thing but more often they are vastly different. The building of character then must be the most important part of human life. Every act in life whether good or bad helps shape that. So it behooves everyone of us to establish good habits for the body, and good thoughts for the mind, that the most precious acquisition of our human being may be built upon a solid rock—or, in other words upon a good character. Therefore let us be decided in our opinions and courses of action and having chosen our road from a conviction that it is right suffer nothing to divert us from Train the mind! There is a clear evidence that the mind was made to teach us to act as the feet were made to walk. Truly education takes time, but it pays when we consider the time of life when the work of education ought to be done. The most costly education with the minimum of results to the individual, is the one which is picked up here and there as life presents opportunities, and as we improve them. Let us view for a moment the commercial world, and notice the relations of the educated and the uneducated men and their ultimate leadership. The United States Bureau of Education issued sometime ago a bulletin bearing the title, “The Money Value of Education.” The many graphic charts and illustra- tions of that discussion shows that with no schooling 31 persons out of 5,000,000 obtained distinction; with elementary schooling 808 out of 33,000,000 achieved a like level; with a high school education 1,245 emerged out of a group of 2,(XX),(XX); and with a college education 5,768 arrived at this point.out of a group of 1,000, (XX). . , , , Today we, as a civilized nation and as individuals, stand at the apex of pro- gress—built solidly upon the achievements of the past and looking foreward hope- fully on the problems of the future. New names have gone down in history and have taken their places in the progress of the world. Much remains to be done. 11 is our privilege then to obey and make the fundamental law, it is our duty to marshall all possible facts of education to improve this law; and above all, it is our privilege to invoke inspiration from on High to lead and point out the way. May we meet every issue that confronts us squarely, solve our every problem correctly and respond to every opportunity justly. May we, as individuals, thus press forward and take our places in the cycles of universal progress. Almost as soon as we place our feet upon the threshold of the busy world Ttvfnty-oru difficulties will surround us. Whatever pursuits we may enter upon we must expect enemies, competitors, and misfortunes. But let us not allow this to cause our efforts to be failures. We cannot escape difficulties. They await us on every pleasure, every path and every pursuit. Will trouble be any excuse tor us to neglect opportunities when they come? If we do not neglect our oppor tunities when difficulties come, we invigorate our souls and become more strong. Then let us face the world with courage, and every time we have mastered a difficulty, feel we have won a victory on the pathway of our life. Consequently, Fellow Classmates, I leave the thought of this stanza as my final message to you: Before our feet the ways divide: One path leads up to heights sublime; Downward the other slopes, where bide The refuse and the wrecks of Time. Choose theny nor falter at the liney 0 choose the nobler path and Climb. Friends, we, the class of 1922, do most humbly thank you for coming and trust that you may have every cause to long remember with a thrill of pleasure the associations of this hour. But may we, too, ask you for your lenity and kindly sympathy, and crave from each of you the warm hand shake and the cordial smile, that will assure us of your joy at bidding us welcome, as we journey upon our various pathways which interwind among yours.

We’ll say we’re not. Senior Themes are becoming pleasures, And the rest of the work is what? es, we’ve lost some classmates, Two have left our ranks; But Delight has filled one empty chair And helps us with our pranks. Good times? Sure, we have those too, Even though we’re always so rushed, For two in the morning might seem late to you But to Juniors? Oh; no, not for us. Toward the first of the year we organized, And Donald so tall and merry. We elected him for our President, For we were sure his voice would carry. For Vice-president we chose Ardis, Although she isn’t so tall, But to all the meetings she might not attend, For her mind is too full of Basketball. Then knowing how well Delight likes to write, And money is Emma’s pleasure, We thought we’d give them jobs they like, So we elected them Secretary and Treasurer. You must surely know by this time, All this work is not for nothing, To be Seniors is now our highest aim, So we’re working hard and—puffing. A. B.— ’23 Twrnty-four .

Often, oh how often, I think of that first year. How we met at the “Big Fill,” our hearts full of cheer. That party to the Sophomores as good as ever seen, And last, that grant! event that came on Halloween. These and more things come to me beneath the bright moonbeams. Once more I am a “Freshie” in my school day dreams. Just before the close of school our class met to decide Colors, and a flower to fill our hearts with pride. We chose the best you will agree, purple and gold. That speaks of love and purity all love to hold. And the lily of the valley that grows by the streams Is it strange that they haunt me in my school day dreams? How well I remember when we first met on the green. So much ambition you never before have seen. Our class numbered twenty-six “Freshies” full of life. Some have fallen by the wayside from the work and strife. But the rest are all undaunted, see how each eye gleams And this class comes to cheer me in my school day dreams. With our officers elected and class organized There’s only seventeen — I know you are surprised. But then we’re full of life and pep, anyone can see, By the treat we gave the Freshmen at our party. It was at Elizabeth Park among the trees and streams The fun we had reminds me of my school day dreams.

We, thirty-eight Freshmen, were gay: We entered High School for the winning, And the victory is ours today. Turning the leaves of science And rewriting our algebra tests, We studied with cheery defiance Leaving the others to rest. Our president is Frank Brule, Who took Donald McCoy’s place. Roma Hubbard, as treasurer, truly, Has many hard problems to face. Viva Shell, as secretary, an office does hold; Miss Voigt is our class chaperon; And the Freshman colors are blue and gold, With flower, a carnation of pinkish tone. And now since we had been entertained By the “Sophs” at Elizabeth Park, Only one thing for us remained At the “gym.” to give them a “lark.” Tis well hearing the Eau Claire student’s murmuring. “When our Freshman days are won; Freshmen here, Freshmen there, Freshmen everywhere, But we are still going on.” First our toil and then our pleasure, That’s the Freshman’s rule of yore. That’s why when next year comes around It will find us as Sophomores. C. S.—'25 Tiv'nlx-titkt Fern Tidey Fern Merritt Donald Clark Rolland Moody Ardis Raker Elkora Winte Miss Voigt EX LIBRIS RDKR is Heavens first Law.” The true meaning of this proverb has certainly formed the basis of our library work this year. We were organized under the supervision of Miss Voigt. But since there were only four old librarians, some new ones had to be brought into the field. Those chosen for this task were Elnora Winter, Rolland Moody, Ardis Baker and Donald Clark. Our work has not only consisted of putting books back on the shelves, which some people think is the sole and only duty of a librarian and which therefore gives them the impression that it is a “snap,” but we have classified all the new books that came in both this year and last and have completed that mammoth task of recording all of these books in our accession book. In spite of the fact that, during the latter part of our term one of our librarians, formerly Miss Miner, resigned her position because Fate gave her a higher posi- tion, namely that of housewife, we have completed the work in the manner in which it was outlined. Of course we admit that we have not attained absolute perfection along these lines but, we leave that height tor K. C. H. S.’s future librarians to attain. «� « School Day Dreams—Concluded NTow I must praise the Freshmen, they do things neat and trim, You could see by the party for us at the gym. The evening of that sleigh ride was lovely to behold, And we all enjoyed it, although the night was cold. But the best of all is Basket Ball, how we cheer our teams, Sometimes I’m even playing in my school day dreams. Often, oh how often, I think of Eau Claire High, The teachers anil their kindness make me work and try. Although we have parties, roasts and basket ball at school. We also have some studies that are not easy as a rule, Some of you think it all pleasure and chocolate creams, But I solve Geometry in my school dav dreams. S.

Coach Balfour found himself facing a more difficult problem than that which confronted him in the previous season. In answer to the first call for prospective candidates some seventeen men reported their intentions on trying for a position of the varsity quintet. Of this number only one played on the varsity squad last year, we having lost the remainder of last year’s squad by graduation. 1 he season was fully as successful as could be expected. A total of twelve games was played, nine of which were victories for us. Much credit must also be given to the second team, as it gave our first team the practice so necessary for proper development. The second team has material in it which will form the nucleus of a team that will surely be heard from in the future.

We therefore during the fore part of the year worked up an active team under the supervision of Miss Voigt, as coach. So much of our time was consumed in learning rules and techniques of the game that we did not try to secure many inter-High School games. We gave no demonstrations of our ability besides playing Berrien Springs and Stevensville teams and “Curtain raisers” to help draw spectators to the boy’s games. Our season’s scores this year: E. C.

Balfour, (Coach) Keith Hi;bb. rd . Russell Tim , im Casmkr Clobber Charles Burns Charles Dillon OUR JANITOR This makes the second year that we have had Mr. Sykes with us in the school, better known among the pupils as “Shorty.” His jovial disposition and ever helping hand soon makes him a friend of all, but he is a friend in another and greater way. You seldom see him without a dust cloth, broom or oil-mop in his hand attempting to keep things spick and span, thereby insuring us against disease and keeping us in good health. He works hard and is ever willing to do things for the betterment of the school, whether it is to patch a punctured basket- ball, make a table, window box or nurse the wounded. His ever-ready wit makes him popular and he is never happier than when he can spring such a joke as the following on someone: Shorty: “That’s a lazy wind!” Pupil: “Why”? Shorty:” “Instead of going around, it goes right through me.” Thirt -fivt OUR LITURA RY SOCIETIES WO NEW organizations were formed this year in the Eau Claire High School. These, although the first of their kind, have produced instruction and entertainment. Their purpose is to give ease, poise and practice in the art of speaking before an audience. The members of these societies were drawn by lot and shortly after this the names Pallenian and Neotophean were chosen. The committee for arranging programs for the “Pals” consists of Ardis Baker, Delight Morrow and Sylvia Pokorny. The committee for arranging programs for the “Neos” consists of Kern Merritt, Hazel Burns and Holland Moody. During the month of October meetings were held and the following officers were elected: President of “Pals”- Delight Morrow- President of “Neos” Mary Vetter Secretary of “Neos” Emma Laberdy There was very little competition between the societies due to the fact that these are new organizations. Improvements, however, have been shown with each succeeding program. Thus, the literary societies have tried to do good work during the year and we hope that they will continue to do the best work possible in the future. Delight Morrow —Marv Yetter CAN YOU IMAGINE? Irvin Teichman playing with paper dolls? Jacob Lutz flirting? John Hogue with a tiny rose-bud mouth? Don Clark on a tiny tricycle? Vernon Dudley without gum? Fern Merritt out of sorts? Kmma Laberdy not studying? Keith Freeman not bluffing? Gerald Williams not talking? Harold Gray reciting? Roland Laberdy going to class without his lesson ? Charles Burns not singing “The Wabash Blues?” Hilda De Witt not sending notes? Evelyn Wolf not whispering? NEW DEFINITIONS The Faculty—A bunch of people hired to help Hanna Dunaetz run the school. A Condition—A reformed failure. A Flunker—One who is so good in a subject that the faculty demand an encore. Profanity—A dialect spoken by physics students when they find some one has stolen their apparatus, or burn their fingers with an electric wire. A hord—A mechanical device used by Gerald Williams to “cop off a jane.” Board of Education—A body of people hired to sign suspension ultimatums and hold down front seats on commencement day.
