Ferris T Spencer, N. Y., on Jan. 6, 1863, our nation was en- riched by the birth of a boy. He was only one among the thousands of babies born that day, and the world paid little heed to the pride and joy that swelled the hearts of his parents, john and Stella Ferris. He was the first of seven children, and his father's tense nature was stirred to its very depths as he planned for his son the foundation of the great future destined for him by his Creator. Under the loving care of his mother, the baby grew into boyhood, his soul enriched by a love of the pure beauties with which nature surrounded him. It was here, at Spencer, that XV ood- bridge N. Ferris imbibed that vigor and physical strength that stood him in such good stead later on in his eventful career. Fishing and hunting beneath the unsullied rays of VV. N. FERRIS the sun, romping and working out in the sweet, fresh coun- try air, the lad's heart expanded to all that was pure and free, and he grew to be sound in mind as well as in body. At the age of fifteen, we find him in an academy at Spencer, and the next year in Candor, N. Y. At this time Mics, XV. N. limems the lad gained a certificate as a teacher in his county and started upon his destined mission. Urged on by insatiable ambition, however, he entered the Qswego Academy. Then C1870-73D he attended the Oswego Normal and Training- School, becoming principal of the academy at Spencer, N. Y. two years later. ln 1875 he married Helen F. Gillespie, of Fulton. N. Y., who has borne him two sons-Carleton fi. Ferris, now a law- yer practicing in Detroit, and Phelps Ferris, at present Z1 student at the Institute. She itis who, through the nobility and beauty of her character, through self-sacrifice and lim- itless ambition for her husband's success, has proved the greatest comfort and inspiration to XVoodbridgc N. Ferris. Patiently and sympathetically they labored together, start- ing out in 1876, when they accepted positions to teach in Rock River University at Dixon, Ill. In 1879 Mr. Ferris became superintendent of schools at Pittsfield, Ill., but he resigned in five years in order to es- tablish tlie Ferris Institute which is now so well known all over the United States. This is not the first school of the kind that Mr. Ferris attempted to found. I-Ie was not cre- ated to serve as much as to lead, and we see him independ- ently establishing a business college and academy at Ifree- port, Ill., in the seventies, and again the Dixon Business College and Academy tin partnership with L. Hartwell, whom he bought out in 18781. 1 When founded in 188-l, the Ferris Institute had but lit- tle in its favor. There were good public schools in the town and its inhabitants were, to a large extent, opposed to what- ever efforts the new school might make for the furtherment of its cause. llut fifteen pupils enrolled, and under the guardianship of Mr. and Mrs. Ferris, it throve wonderfully well. .-Xt first the school was held over the Northern Na- tional llank, and then it was moved to the Northern I-Iotel lllockg but it grew so rapidly that, in 1893, a fine building was erected that is so familiar to us all. As the Institute has grown, this building has been enlarged, an annex being lmnilt in 1901 and another addition to the main building in 1906, l'lans are now under way for more extensive im- provements and additions in 1908 and 1909. The Institute was founded from the very beginning for the purpose of uplifting and purifying humanity. The strong, untiring, upright, fearless character of Mr. Ferris and the deep sympathetic, hrm, yet gentle disposition of his wife, laid the corner-stone of that enviable reputation of the Ferris Institute. Although the school is not endowed, the character and work .of the students that have turned from its doors have reflected so favorably upon its faculty that it is now considered one of the finest preparatory schools in the country. To-day, it contains sixteen-,departments and has a faculty numbering twenty-six instructors. A va- cancy occurred among the faculty a few years ago, how- ever, which some affirm can never be wholly filled. It was caused by the resignation of Mrs. Ferris from the post of teacher of mathematics. But her heart is with us, we know, and when we go from this institution, let us each and all think kindly of her and do her, as well as our president, honor in our deeds and thoughts. On account of the sarcasm and irony which frequently ring through his speeches and which Mr. Ferris inherited from his father, he is often misunderstood by students and outsiders. He has been called hard , but there is no man more sympathetic or large-hearted than he when he is off the platform or outside of the school-room. Wheii students come in contact with the man, the feeling of awe which his forceful fearlessness has inspired, gives place to an un- bounded esteem. As before stated, Mr. Ferris' whole ambition is to labor for the betterment of mankind. To this cause he has given heart, soul, happiness, and strength. For this cause he has entered the fields of politics, religion, and education. He is not merely known for his school-work-he is a well-known lecturer. If he loved humanity less and himself more, he could make a fortune as a lecturer. As it is, he finds him- self compelled to refuse fully two-thirds of the calls that utation of the endowed, the 'e turned IFOIU faculty that it tory schools in fpalrtments and ctors. A VH' ears ago, how- lilled. It was om the post of h us, we know, is each and all our president, hich frequently Ferris inherited my students and ihere is no man when he is off lrVhen students awe which his lace to an un- ition is to labor se he has given is cause he has ucation.

Besides his business cares, Mr. Ferris takes time to par- ticipate in social pleasures. He belongs to several orders, among which are the Knights of Pythias, the Masonic F ra- ternity, the Order of Foresters, the Modern VVoodmen, and the National Union. y. His favorite On account of his shrewdness in business and uncon- trollable energy, Woodbriclge N. Ferris has been charged, sometimes, with laboring solely for the purpose of gather- ing money. If this were so, why does he not give up the thankless task of the teacher and go into the oratorical field entirely? VVhy, when the Mecosta County Savings Bank failed in October, 1896, did he take upon himself the responsibility of paying the students' funds and thus place upon his already overladen shoulders a burden that any one else would have shunned or refused? It is a well-known fact that no student, save one or two-and that was for rea- sons known solely to themselves and Mr. Ferris,-was ever sent away from the Ferris Institute because of lack of funds to pay his way through. The Ferris Institute now boasts of an annual enrolment of two thousand students. Witliiii twenty-three years, this is a phenomenal growth for an unendowed institution. During this time, it has passed from Mr. Ferris' hands into the con- trol of a private corporation, although Mr. and Mrs. Ferris still own jointly a large share of the stock. For the past two years Commencement Exercises have been held at the Institute. The president of the Institute, lovingly nick- named The Qld Mann by many of the students, has given the best part of his life to the ennobling of wayward youth, and though many an hour his heart aches with the pangs of discouragement and though he considers his labors but just begun, hundreds of men and women out in the world to-day are blessing his name and living Jurer and noblei a l A lives because of contact in ,former days with this large- souled teacher.

I 908 E are a class peculiar to the Institution of which we are members. A large percentage of us have ac- quired our learning as opportunity afforded, allowing years to lapse between the beginning and completion of our courses. A few have been students of the Ferris Institute for two consecutive years, more have been in attendance but one year, and a large number for a shorter time. Many who were members of the class during the first half of the year have completed their course and gone out to apply their knowledge, leaving their places to be filled by those entering later. This constant change and short acquaintanceship would naturally make the students disinterested in school and class affairs, but such is not the case. In spite of the disadvantages of brief acquaintance and interrupted associa- tions the College Preparatory Seniors show a loyalty and a mutual friendship unexcelled by that of any other class in the school. Strange to say, the Senior Girls are greatly in the minority. If they were gold, they would represent a ratio similar to Colonel Bryan's monetary-16 to 1. But what they lack in numbers they account for in loyalty to their class and 'fFellow', classmates. Not one of them would allow a gentleman of the class to feel lonely or neglected. At one of the class festivals these heroines turned out en masse and so artfully did the fifteen entertain the thirty- eight young men that each gentleman thought himself the sole object of adoration. VVh'en the Y. W. C. A. gave their famous Leap-Year party, it was a delegation of these Senior Girls that wended its way, stealthily, under cover of the shades of evening-and the barns along the alley- and transported numbers of young men through an artfully designed Underground Railroadi' to the place of enter- tainment, so that a scarcity of ladies might not deprive the gentlemen of an enjoyable evening. The Senior Boys, though numerous, are neither in- active nor negligent of the cares and duties thrust upon them. Many of the more loquacious are accustomed to leave the confines of their abodes during the Sunday re- cesses, and, traveling to nearby towns, ascend the pulpits of the little village sanctuaries, and, with the airs of con- nosseurs, impart to breathless audiences theological truths far in advance of their age. VVhen a call for volunteers to defend the Ferris Institute gridiron was heralded through our institution, the Senior Boys came to the front. Those who lacked the necessary avoirdupois were found on the side lines shouting for victory or guarding the defenseless ladies from the dangers of the surging crowd or the misdirected football. It was a delegation of these SeniorlBoys that repre- sented the Y. M. C. A. at our state convention, and so faithfully did they execute the duties delegated to them that their association did not demur in paying the floral and confection bills incurred while there. Witli the class composed of students so nearly a unit on all u-A M il vital questions it is not astonishing that its history is peace- ful and uneventful. The seniors feeling the responsibility of the department resting upon them, selected from their number a connnittee to frame a constitution that would meet the requirements of the class. Not many days elapsed before the constitutional convention ended its work, and brought forth a document of fundamental law defining the rights, powers, and duties of such as considered themselves worthy of a seat in the Senior Class, that might well be ascribed to the magistrates of our nation. A fter attending to the necessary songs, yells, class para- phernalia, etc., the seniors deemed it their duty to look after the welfare of the school, and to this end proposed and formulated a plan for the publication of the Annual of which this brief history forms a part. Later, when they were called upon to present a class picture for this Annual, there was great excitement and much debating. On all other questions the seniors were a unit, but here was a ques- tion involving an action that would compel them to see themselves as others had seen them. The majority of the class, fearing individual inspection, decided to have a- con- glomerateu picture with the Methodist Church as a back- ground, which they considered would atone for all evils. The College l5'reparatory Seniors have at all times taken a great interest in the Christian organizations of the school. It has been their highest ambition to make their Alma Mater an institution where the rich and poor, the intellectual and uneducated, shall labor side by side and be drawn from their several conditions into an atmosphere of love and friendship, which shall operate back into their individual lives, and be carried with them as they leave our beloved institution to gladden the sorrowful hearts with whom they meet. It is with deep regret that we finish our history as a class, and as we leave our Alma Mater it is with deepest gratitude for the many benents of the Ferris Institute made possible only through the untiring efforts of its founder and President, YV.

The tallest man in the class is Mann, who has already attained marked success in the study of foreign languages, and is looked up to with profound admiration by the in- structor in these subjects. Miss Prim OU and The Senior Arctic Explorer have also become so active in the class- room in pursuit of these subjects that the one presiding conferred upon them the 'fCorner Degreef' to prevent di- version of the studious propensities of their classmates. During the year the members have been prominent in Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. societies, leaders in musical circles, debating classes, and other organizations. The class has shown superior knowledge by electing to the presidency C. E. Eliot, a genial young man possessing the sterling qualities which have distinguished the famous President Eliot of Harvard. However, our president is in full harmony with President Roosevelt on athletics. He is not one who would, under ordinary circumstances, fall asleep at the post of duty. Yet it is reported that on one special occasion when he had fought long and hard to ward off the possibility of llunking,' on exam, this really did happen. He laid his weary head down to rest after par- taking of a graciously prepared supper, 'tis said, and lo! when he awakened, 'twas twenty after two. Neither Cupid nor any other of those mysterious creatures who may have visited him in the Land of Dreams had volunteered to solve his geometry or to unfold the intricacies of Latin.

N. Ferris arrived at Big Rapids and began preparations for organ- izing a school for the benefit of the boys and girls and the men and women who are hungry for a practical education. In- September of the same year the Ferris Industrial School, as it was then called, was begun in the Vandersluis Block with an enrolment of fifteen pupils. The courses then open to students were English, Normal, and Business. The school grew very rapidly and as it continued to grow, ad- ditional rooms were taken until it occupied the entire ground fioor of four store buildings together with several rooms on the second fioor. In January, 1894, the school moved into its own building, situated at the corner of Ives Avenue and Qak Street. For the first four or five years the Commercial branches were taught by Mr. Ferris himself, there being at that time but three subjects-Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, and Penman- ship-required for diploma. The first person to receive such a diploma was H. C. Wa1'cl, of Chippewa Lake, Mich. The department work steadily increased with the growing attendance, and after the fifth year C. A. VVessel came to take charge, holding his position for fifteen years. The childhood of the department has long since passed away with its three required branches, and maturity with its twelve subjects has glided on into middle life, for the past four years guided by the efficient and successful teach- ings of H. M. Heaney. Now, instead of having but one end in view upon the completion of his course, a pupil may choose his work and become what the world demands to- day-a specialist for teaching, for office work, or civil serv- ice. Then because of the genuine requirements and the high standard of the school, when one has squarely and fully completed his course, he is able to meet and cope with the world anywhere he may be found. May the Ferris Institute live long and continue to make the world better. WZ! f , .. I if it -iie.fr4,?fia,,3-,,i. vii. . I ' . ' 125-iv I Xu, .., 1519, 4413! I Q Il , 4 gn ,Ly,g. vs.f mf, flair: ,.

Uur Genesis and Exodus ATE in ye year 1907 there gathered from all parts of ye known land myriads of children, and they came to Big Rapids. And all ye town rejoiced, for it meant much money to them and straightway they named these children Pin Heads because they were ye real stuff. Then they gathered these children into a great red place called ye Institute, and they entered the school. Then ye High Priest from a place within, called ye Pri- vate Qfhce, brought them together and divided his flock, the sheep from the goats. The sheep he sent upstairs and called them Commercials, and that was good. The rest he called goats and left them in the regions below, and be- hold that was very good. And all went well. And these children were governed by rules and the ring- ing of bells, yea many bells throughout the building con- nected by funny strings, and they were -confusing. And ye great unbreakable rule said, Ye shalt not be tardy , and these things brought much sorrow to ye chil- dren. For on a certain day one sheep-a tall, fair-haired sheep -went straying and came back late and Oh! she was called TARDY, and her name was writ in letters of white sur- rounded by black in a most conspicuous place where all should see and their record fell and was broken, and great was the fall thereof, for as in the Garden, an Adam followed Eve, and the list lengthens. W And the High Priest gathered them together each morn- ing and showed them the way they should go, and they went-some to the Private Qffice, some HQME, and their gratitude was great-Cin many waysj. Soon the snow came and brought more sheep to the fold, and behold the stars shone, some twenty weeks, some forty, more longer, and they rejoiced and were exceeding glad, and had a great gathering and feasted, and learned words of wisdom from the wise, and they danced and waxed gay until the early hours, but next day they knew their sums, and the over-lord was satisfied. And the winter wore on, and great knowledge was stored, like honey in the honey-comb, and they prospered, and many were the strenuous bits garnered from the Morn- ing Exercises, and the sheep laid the foundations for their future life. Then the Robins came and sang, and lo! it was Spring. and many of the sheep returned to their old pastures, and those that remained got much news from the outer world, and they labored and gained much more, and longed to be with their fellows that had long since gone. Then it was June, the earth was beautiful, but the sheep were solemn, for there was to be a great parting on the twenty-fifth, but some were wise and left in twos, and great CPD was their wisdom. And a great man spoke and told tales, and ye High Priest gave each sheep a great white ticket of admission to the outer worldg and they were proud, very proud, and ye High Priest spake grave words at parting-then the place was silent. And all was well! H. A. Side Lights llli Commercial Department being more of a business department than the others, has little time to devote to athletics, but in the autumn of '07, receiving a challenge from the Shorthanders for a game of football, decided to awaken a bit of spirit in the department. A meeting was called by one of the enthusiastic students for the purpose of organizing an .Xthletic .-Xssociation to be ready for any sport that might he indulged in during the school term, and the Shorthanders' challenge was duly accepted. The game came off on one of those rare old autumn Saturdays with a goodly crowd to watch and laugh at the plays and misplays. .Xfter struggling two twenty-minute halves, we lost the game but not the spirit of the day. lt was not long after this that the Commercials had an- other chance to try their prowess against the Shorthanders in basketball. llaring in our team such players as High, tfooper, and llrandf, ably assisted by Rouse and Wfagar, we soon put the Shorthanders in the shade, winning from them easily. Satisfied now with our victories, we shake hands with our royal neighbors, lay the hatchet on the shelf until an- other football season rolls around, and say again with the wise men, The first shall be last, and the last first.

Her face lighted with pleasure as a happy thought came to her, These people were in need, she would send them a blessing. Straightway she touched the lines of Communication and from a city in Ohio there started out upon a long journey to Richmond, Virginia, to confer with a certain well-known president and lecturer, a young man, small of stature, with clean-cut, kindly face. As a result of this interview, Mr. Alva M. VVonnell came to Big Rapids to show us the beauty and grace enfolded in a line, and to teach us to unfold that beauty in a series of curves and loops and bring to our service another valuable asset. T Possessed of rare ability in his art, with an earnest de- sire to assist and benefit his students, never too busy or preoccupied to offer a word of encouragement or help one over a difficult path, and genial and pleasant at all times, he has found his way to the hearts of his pupils and gained from them an intense interest in his work such as few could hope to maintain. 1 V He has brought to our Penmanship Department a new life and by his superior insight and study has kept us abreast of all the schools of our time, helping us to win First, in the National Penmanship Contest at Pittsburg in December, 1907. The study of Penmanship involves many subdivisions, which have been ably handled in our department. Many of our students have become the proud possessors of the .PC7'L'l716Zl'LSl'L'if7 fomfnal Awards and Certificates, and bid fair to spread the harvest over many fields. Mr. VVonnell has fulfilled his probation and has not been found wanting. Un August 9 he receives his promotion, and begins working independently in a school of his own. As successful as he has been in the past, we predict for him a more brilliant future, and bid him Godspeed in his new field of labor. Thus has the good Dame carried out her project, and now we turn to greet the rising sun that comes to our as- sistance next year, knowing that the loyalty of the old and new students will make it possible for him to keep our de- partment with a high standard. i 1. my The Juniors 'Tis great to be a junior, Nothing to worry oneg XYe attend the morning exercises, .Xnd plan a heap of fun.

The grandest work of art, the most marvelous piece of mechanism, is but an expression of thought. It has taken thousands of years to convince man that without thought there is no progress, no civilization, no life worth the living. It has taken ages to convince man that without symmetrically developed and well- trained brains there is no thought worth the thinkingg and that without symmetrically developed and well-trained bod- ies there are no brains worth the having. Where is the real culture to begin? The modern teacher answers, ln the home. The home of to-day does not give this culture. The primary school fails to give it. The kin- dergarten offers it. The high school boasts of having skilled teachers and elaborate facilities for training young men and women. The masses never enter the high school. The masses would enter the kindergarten if they had the oppor- tunity. Children love sunshine, flowers, animals, and play. The kindergarten recognizes what the child loves and fur- nishes the natural means of growth. Children are not men and women in miniatureg they are undeveloped men and women. The school proper is inca- pable of developing a happy, growing child. This is the function of the kindergarten. lt aims to give the child an ideal environment, which can be furnished by teachers who have been tittingly trained. In liig Rapids, one of the first to recognize the value of the kindergarten idea was Mrs. .-X. R. Morehouse, who, a quarter of a century ago, began to educate her children according to kindergarten principles. XYhen Mrs. More- house removed to her country home, Miss tiernie, of l..a l'orte, lnd., next took up the work, continuing for two years. The ladies of the XY. C. T. lf. then sent an invita- tion to Miss .-Xnna ll. I.ittelle, of Muskegon, to take it up. She accepted in the fall of 1889, and carried on the work for one year. The beginning was small: her students em- braced several teachers from the lferris Industrial School, and twelve Sisters from Mercy llospital. lfarly in the year Miss I.ittelle gave a talk on the principles and work of the kindergarten before the Ferris Industrial School. 'Miss Dora Raub succeeded her, carrying on the work for three years. In 1892 the President of the Ferris Institute provided kindergarten training for his summer school. The first class was under the direction of Miss Helen M. Morgan, of Muskegon. She held four sessions for the little folks upstairs in the building across the road from the Northern Hotel. The tables were built for the occasion, but the chairs were mostly of the children's providing, each bringing his little chair from home. The pupils numbered fifteen. The training class conducted above the Citizens' State Bank consisted of lectures. The following summer she resumed the work for seven weeks in the Institute the first year of its present location. In 1895 the work was extended through the whole year, under the direction of Miss Emma O'Neil, who, after three years, was succeeded by Miss Gertrude Treiber, a member of her graduating class. This was in 1897. In 1898 the second year of kindergarten training was added. In August, 1900, Mliss Treiber severed her connection with the school. This gave rise to the saying that kinder- garten teachers stayed three years at the Ferris Institute and then got married. In 1900 Miss May L. Day came from Mrs. Lucretia Teat's Training-School at Grand Rap- ids to carry on the good work. Miss Day stayed three years and did not get married, thus breaking the spell and bequeathing unto Miss Hold- rlidge, her successor, a happy but single life, for she has been at the Iierris Institute five years, and so far no signs of a wedding. Z5 Miss I-Ioldridge was also a graduate of Mrs. Teat's Training-School. Qu taking charge of the department, she changed the course to two years-eighty weeks of study and practice. The .Change was made to bring the Ferris Institute on a level with the kindergarten schools of our large cities. lhose who meet the requirements of the course receive as evidence of their proficiency a diploma.

And after many merry games In which Miss Holdridge led us, We marched into the drawing room, Where luncheon light was spread us. And though it was a rainy night, Inside 'twas bright and cheery. Departing friends in merry mood Wore happy smiles, if weary. And now I think you're glad to hear What I'm about to tell, That Mrs. Camplield now begins, And she will do right well. BONNIE R. FULLER, Christmas and New Years, with happiness true, Came trooping along, and we welcomed them, too But back to our studies we hastened with glee, And then who more patient and happy than we. We had been very studious for quite a long time, And then our gay voices in laughter did chime As we mounted the steps of our president's home, And vowed from her hostage that night we'd not roam. 'Twas a pinafore party, and of course all were dressed In little short frocks. Each one tried her best To look sweetest of all, and we danced and we sang Till the pleasant old house with our merriment rang. Ah! gay are the times that we have in our class, And loud is our laughter when some fair young lass Presents works of art, thinking perfect she stood, And receives from Miss Hanchett, Oh, that's pretty -good. Likewise in our History of Music class, When all were preparing the test to pass, And learning composers, Italian and French, Till our thirst for knowledge we knew'we would quench.

Miss Franklin, Messrs. Nlulrler, liolitlio, Swift, anil others aclclecl much to the pleas- ure of the meetings. 'l'lie l'harmic's .Xnnual llall was given on November 8, l'JO7, at tiroulx llall. The affair was a splendid success in every particular, and the good feeling characteristic of l'harmics was evident throughout the evening. President Ferris was present and made a pleasing address to the class, which was followed by a few pointed remarks from others. All participants voted this a royal good time. NVe feel that this short history would be incomplete with- out inention of the champion Class Football Team which belongs to this department. Under Manager Straight and Coach McPherson many victories have been won on bloody fields. W'yatt's famous sixty-yard dash will go down in the annals of football history as a feat never to be surpassed, while Spen's original center rush, in which the center carries the ball, baffied all opposition. Quarterback Burk- headfs brilliant work is also deserving of special mention. Manager Straight had the misfortune to break his collar bone in the first half of the last game, which seriously crip- pled the team. l Owing to ab-sence of class officers during the latter part of the year, an election was held, and officers chosen as fol- lows: President, J. W. Boweng Vice-President, F. D. Estesg Secretary, A. H. VVenmang H. A. Chisholm for Treasurer. Many have been the changes in our department during the year.

Here they entered, elation plainly visible in their facesg for was this not the sunlit llall of Mysteries, where that great sys- tem of hieroglyphics is expounded, unreadable by all eyes save those of th- ' ' c utitci, and, sometimes, alas I-shall we say unreadable by him: Mr. l elch, 1 . ow by surviving students of the May class, was the learned master of these mysteries, and soon hal tl .c ie new-comers, with hair on end and puckered brows. buried deep in the intricacies of shorthand. whose name is reverentlv spoken even n Such was the beginning of this Shorthand year. The May class students have since disappeared and reappeared. Some have entered the realms of the old and now obsolete March class of 1907, while others, feeling too young and giddy to keep pace with their former classmates, have joined hands with comrades that came to the department in july, and united their lot with that of the great September class of over sixty students who boast the right of furnish- ing to the Shorthand Department its l'resident, Mr. Dar- ling fnow deceased as far as the presidency is concernedl, its Vice-l'resident, Phelps lferris, Uncle Sam's friend and adviser, and its Secretary and Treasurer, Mabel lleckwith, who will be another llettv tire' ' 1 ' long enough. cn, it she holds her office lhree classes have entered tqmhcr, The Hctober class has won the distinction of em- bracing in its roll the name ot Rolla lxarshner, liditor-in- Qhiet ot the Institutes first Year-llook.

Mr. Felch hied hun to another sphere. His place was filled by Mr,1 Steinhauser. The latter remained but a short time, however, when he was called away by the Fates, and the disappointed students awaited his successor. It was this time that Mr. VVhite appeared. He carried in his hand a new system of hieroglyphics known as the Gregg, which he imparted to one division of the january class, while Mrs. Ford took up the duty of expounding the Graham to an- other part. The March class followed in the wake, and now the Shorthand Department is working with hand and brain to see which system will outstrip the other in its mad rush for speed! This famous department has for its pattern, American commercialism, for its motto, Grind and rush. Yet, in spite of the whirl and din, it has found time for a little pleasure. Think of its invincible football team, the lightest of the Institute and the fastest-its average weight being but one hundred thirty-seven pounds. Eleven strong were they with four brave substitutes to back them. Under the leadership of Captain Good, they defeated the heavy Com- niercial team with a score of ll to O, and in spite of all pre- dictions, held their ground with the Pharmics in that famous battle that ended 5 to 5 The department also nibbled at basketball and gave the best banquet and dance of the year. Its hundred seventv students took occasion t . 5 o send Howers to those who were ill and to show their class spirit in diverse other ways. Yet, while we speak of bygone months and give our words of cheer, we must needs bow our heads in sorrow and extend our heartfelt love and sympathy to our former principal, Mr. VVhite, Through his nobility of character and unremitting toil, he has won his way into our hearts. ,-Xs he, succumbing to the will of God, closes the Institute doors behind him, we proffer him our hands in fellowship and wish him every success in the future. Mr. lvlagoon, who takes his il ' - ' D 1 ace, we greet with honor, and trust he will remain and serve us long.

Magoon, ust he will of March Second The Eventful fNight N the early hours of evening, when the stars were be- ginning to blink, there assembled at the Northern Hotel that famous assortment of the Ferris Institute known as the Shorthanders. The sight was a heart-rend- ing one, for many a young swain's heart was touched as, seated in the banquet hall, he gazed about at fair damsels far and near. He lost half of his heart on the spot and the rest disappeared later in the dancing-hall. Among the lovelorn swains was one Rolla Karshner, the toastmaster. As he gazed upon the sea of pretty faces his mind wandered off to the realms of bliss-starlit nights, buggy rides, and tender smiles. As he introduced one toast after another, the victims, who had rapturously listened to the poetic heartbeats of the toastmaster, caught the contagion and waxed eloquent in words. Our be- loved teacher, Mrs. Ford, gave a most beautiful tribute to friendship, while our friend Elmer Rice spoke very tenderly of the love and honor we should bear our teach- ers. By the time Prof. Blickley arose to toast the Shorthand girls, the contagion had spread so rapidly that he lost his head and had to call for all the young men in the hall to help him out. We were rather surprised at the misbehavior of one of the speakers, Earle Bullock, who, in the midst of his discourse on Scraps, fell into one with Mr. Braus and deluged him with old shoes and new cravats. VVe did not interfere, however, and peace soon reigned again su- preme. The roaring voice of the animal in the last cagel' made the speaker on Girls,' drop hastily into a chairl The rest of us, also, were deeply impressed with the voice, for it was fraught with deep wisdom and some of us determined to climb into a last cage,', some day, where we ourselves might make an impression by our weighty roarings. VVhen the animal finally sat on his haunches, amid loud applause, the Shorthanders, fearful lest some other wild beast might come to the front and spoil the effect, hied them to the armory where music and dance were waiting for them. There they tripped the light fan- tastic until Professor Gerin sternly and relentlessly pointed a warning finger at the clock and told them that he would play no longer. The sun was thinking of paying fair Luna a call when the last Shorthander closed his weary eyes. ,T yi fgf 34 1 Q 4: .'

The great majority are still groping blindly and helplessly in the strange abyss of Life for some great guiding star by which they may direct their course with a reasonably safe land- ing assured. VVe, in coming to this school, have chosen our star- many of us with full knowledge of our act, others unwit- tingly maybe, but nevertheless it is ours. How many of us realize that through the medium of the Morning Exercises we are brought almost daily into per- sonal contact with one of the greatest of the men of our times. ifvllilt one of us could hope to monopolize one single half hour of his time for our own selfish purposes and ob- servations during our entire stay here. Yet here he gives gratis his time, his thought, his energy for our personal benefit and uplift. WVe could liken our Morning Exercises to the morning worship of the family, where we meet together before the work of the day. VVe come in fresh from our few hours of rest, teeming with life which we gladly express in song or have expressed very pleasantly by orchestra or band-a harmony of sound. Then after the affairs of the day are adjusted, in a stern yet more or less humerous way we are given a few golden moments in which to listen to the strong- est of appeals to our spiritual natures, to our manhood and Womanhood. VVe are given the best in Literature, both limi 'l' r ' IIIIIM ' X 'L '5 humerous and serious, we have discussed for our benefit the great National and political problems of the day in a warmth of speech and color that not even his political friends know. 'Tis here we are taught integrity by ex- ample and precept, the nobility of unflinching courage and the sturdy independence that makes for our upward prog- ress. Precious is that bit of encouragement gained from the recital of trials and barriers conquered in great success- ful lives about us. In short, 'tis here that we are led to for- sake our low-born ideals and set for ourselves a new one among the heavenly stars of earth. When we launch out into the real and earnest current of life, we shall be sure of our course, steadfast in purpose, doing the right thing, living the right life, and evefiilong our way we shall meet the guide-posts to right living, let- tered with precepts gathered from the Morning Exercises through the unceasing efforts and sacrifices of our noble friend and teacher. It is thus we reap where another has sown, where an- other has tended and guarded by the labor of his own hands and brain. It is left for us only to take of the proffered loaf and scatter the crumbs broadcast among our less for- tunate fellows, whilc together we say, Long may this great laborer live and prosper, that his works may follow after him, and that we, his children, may rise up and call him I t -blessed. I-IARR1131' ANGELL. 1... . .. ....--7 JOHN D The Yo URINC the five years previous to March 1, 1907, the students of the lferris lnstitute held prayer-meetings on liriday evening' of each week, these being about the only religious services connected with the school. Out of these meetings have grown two organizations-the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. XV. C. A. :X strong Catholic Club has also been organized. These three religious societies are doing a good work. ln the early part of the year 1907, Mr. lierris set apart the 4:40 interval on every XYednesday afternoon for reli- gious services, and exhorted the students to attend. Thus they grew. .Xt present there are several hundred in attend- ance each week. Un March 5, 1907, the Young tion was organized in the Ferris Institute with a charter membership of nearly twenty-five. To ll. lf. Rice is due oundation. This small body of Men's Christian Associa- much of the credit for its f young men did not ffrou g ' very much during' the remainder of the school year. September 13 new oliicers were elected and a lI'll- uc class was organized with Mr. Masselinlc a S ung lVlen's Christian Association leader. To him the class are grateful for his hel ful i IC' i I P U' ipictations of the Scriptures. Un january 17, 1908, a reception was given by the two societies. This pleasant affair was attended and enjoyed by about five hundred students M 9 . any friendships were made, and a pleasing program was tendered. TI U ie giowth of the Young Menls Christian Association has been very rapid In Februar . . y a two-weeks' contest took place through which fifty one A - new members were added. Another one-day contest was held ' e in March, when twenty- one members were gained The . present membership is 125. About thirty-five of these 'tttend B'bl . . e1 e study. One of the best events of the .. year was the banquet at the M. E. Church on March 13 I . t was well attended, and proved of much benefit to the soci l 1' a ife of the organization. Qfhcers G. A.

HE Young W'omen's Christian Association of the Fer- ris Institute was organized on November 2, 1906, by Miss Hallie Landes, Student State Secretary of Michigan, with a membership of only twenty-sixg since that time -it has extended its membership to one hundred and fifteen. By enlisting all the members in a campaign of personal work during the winter term of 1907-08, the association has doubled its membership in the Institute and added sev- eral honorary members from outside the school. Two delegates were sent to the state convention at Kalamazoo and three to Bay City. The social side of the association has been fostered by receptions and other means of entertainment. A Bible class has been conducted each week, Murray's Life of Christ, According to St. Mark being used with the Bible. The devotional meetings are held at the Institute every Friday evening. The real aim of the association is centered in devotional work, in help- ing girls to form desirable acquaintances, in visiting the sick, and in giving a cheery word to the discouraged and homesick, thus aiding all to do more earnest, practical, and effective work and to attain a higher plane of Christian living.

I believe in religion in sharpening a lead pencil. I mean business. When a young man gives up his grip on the good, then he goes to the devil fast. No power on earth can stop him -God himself can not stop him. Dont ridicule a young man who tries to reform! Don't laugh at a young woman who tries to do a little bet- ter! If you have any moral courage about you, go to her and shake her hand. It is my opinion that many people regard religion as a fire-escape and nothing higher. You had better buckle on your armor t0-day. Brace up, young folks! llave a little ginger about you l Nobody wants to be corrected-I have learned that. Use good paper, good ink, wear neat clothing and well- fitting, if you want to succeed in getting positions. You 'don't get to Heaven-there's no prospect of it- so long as you lie to yourself.

Once by the seaside De- mosthenes loudly lamented the lack of a debating class, or ran wildly up hill and down in his fruitless search for one. Yet by his very exertions he gained such great power as to make the object he sought unnecessary for his devel- opment. Now we have thousands of debating classes as vainly, if not as wildly, seeking a Demosthenes. .Xmong these societies the Monday Night Debating l'lass deserves a high place. lts organization resulted from the desire for oratorical training possessed by a few ex- memlmers of the disbanded XVebster Club, Miss Houtz's class. Nlr. l elton's consent to become class president and critic was also a factor in the result. The total membership was limited lo fifteen, thus allowing each member to parti- cipate in every weekly discussion of grave questions of xlZllL'. A very successful class event was last year s mock trial, held with the Wednesday Night Class, who took the side of the defendant. The case, a breach of promise suit, was tried in the F. I. Auditorium before an audience of about five hundred. After a very spirited and pleasing contest, the jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff. As We stand now at the close of the year with all our toils and pleasures behind us, and look back along the way we have come, we are moved by a realization of something of the good gained, to offer to our president an expression of our esteem and gratitude 3 to past members a tribute of respect, and to the future a voice of hope and encourage- ment. And as we pass out from the walls of the Ferris Institute, in our hearts is the wish that the Monday Night Class may long continue to make its members stronger, wiser, and better able to cope with the problems of life.

It is the social contact with superior minds, the interchange of thoughts, and the expression of human interests which stimulates the mind, broadens the sympathy, and gives in- spiration. For the Wednesday Night Debating Class, which has the honor of being the oldest organization in the Ferris Institute, we have to thank Mr. Ferris, who, in 1890, with his heart tired for the best interests of his school, guided the formation of this society whose object is the culture Of public speaking, the free discussion Of important questions, and the creation of a desire for the higher and nobler things of life. ln order that each member may receive a greater Op- portunity for work, the membership is limited to fifteen. The meetings, which are held every XVednesday evening, are opened with a business session, where members acquire a knowledge of parliamentary usages: a literary program then follows. ln 1904, increasing duties made it imperative that Mr. Ferris give his position as president to another. No better successor could have been found than Alr. Rlasselink, who not only understands and sympathizes with young people, but puts them in the way of richest growth and purest happiness. How well the class has done its work is obvious when one looks over the record and finds names that are now prominent in the various walks of life. So as we muse On the momentous questions Of state that this class has Settled, Of the parliamentary drills during which the heat Ofttimes became oppressive, of the -bursts of Oratory with which the members have Often thrilled usg as we ponder over the wit, the humor, the sympathy, and the instruction those evenings have brOught,'Our hearts have one desire-that the class may still send out its inHu- ence and accomplish its aim.

The Lecture Course LTHOUGH not a financial success, the lecture course . this year has been one of the best ever brought here. It was opened by the Wliitriey Brothers' Quartet, who last year gave such an excellent entertainment, and closed by Doctor Herbert Willet, of Chicago University. One of the most interesting numbers was Kellogg the Bird Man. Mr. Kellogg is a genius as well as a naturalist. His lec- ture was interspersed with bird songs, moving pictures, and stereopticon views. The views of John Burroughs were so real that we co-uld imagine ourselves sitting in front of the fireplace at Slabsides in quiet reverence of the Old Man. Rufus King gave a lecture on the present age, Victor's Venetian Band rendered one of the best concerts ever heard in the city, Mr. Schoonmaker, of the Associated Press, delivered an instructive lecture on China, and the Lyceum Grand Concert Company gave a pleasing musical enter- tainment. But the greatest event was the mighty Ben Tillman, South Carolinais Pitchfork Senator, who for nearly four hours held the closest attention of his audience to a dis- course on the negro. Tillman is honest, fearless, and frank, and we can not but admire such a man who represents the feeling of a great section of this nation. Besides the regular course the Kilties Band gave two delightful concertsg Osceola Pooler, Dramatic Reader, gave an artistic rendition of Ulf I VVere Kingug the Oriole Con- cert Company pleased their hearers, and Ernest Gamble, who on two previous occasions has been greeted by Ferris Institute audfences, together with his company, afforded a most enjoyable evening in behalf of the F.

Found your business for what you can put into it, not for what you can get out of it. I want comers and goers, not comers and stayers, even in relatives. In the meantime, Mr. Masselink, I wish you'd try to find out whois so busy trying to wear out shoe-leather upstairs! The world is mine,-Edm. Dante. Don't eat so muchg not on account of your landlady, but on account of your bread basket. Wlieii people hear the still small voice of the great out- of-doors, human words are not needed. Sickness and talk of it is a sham. All who wish to see me on marriage, and have the ar- rangements all made, come in at two o'cloek. Mr. Travis will be in on the G. R. 81 I train. It will be sufficient to say: He went out on the P. M. You new students that came in on the Post Mortem may consider yourselves lucky that you're here safe. You that have been tardy, please be prompt in reporting in the ofhce. It's quite an extraordinary thing to ask a tardy person to be prompt. The drug store will become the curiosity shop of our cities-Now you Pharmics don't need to worry, they will be in full operation to the end of this generation I've got here. Keep rolling your pills, there's a line of suckers now ready for you. Young folks, get ready for the opportunity! No man learns any more than he has to. I never had any advantagesf' I never want to hear that again from now to my grave. INhy, even the man on the dry-goods box could if he would listen and pick out the good from the bad, and think over itg might have a few gray cells after a while for exercise on a Sunday afternoon-at least have them playing tag. Young men and women, if you haven't any education, it's because you don't want it. Man is nobler than he thinks. In Lincolnis life is vindicated the greatness of true good- ne's and the goodness of true Cfreatness.-Pl11'lI1'ps Brooks. 5 : b o The tm can marks the emancipation of woman.- Sprague. Speaking of Goethe-That man saw all things, but could not see the wlzolc.-Mcfs1'1zi. Temper is the vice of the VlI'lll1OllS.--I'IC'lII'jV George. Lying is the act of sacrificing character for the purpose of producing a wrong impression.-Powell. Truth is the sun of morality. Everything depends upon motive.-Drunznzoazrd. The search for Truth is the angel of P1'OgI'CSS.-I'ICHI'y George. Bigness is the American ideal.-McCloud. Eternal vigilence is the price of liberty. Manners are of more importance than laws. A thief is a thief and won't change himself. If you can not mix business and religion, Life is one colossal farce and failure. It's the doing of things that I like to impress on your minds. .
