He never called his own number except for a pass or kick. He was light of weight but gave all he had to his team. Being a Senior, he will be greatly missed next year. Glen fShortyl Millard. Shorty, one of the best guards in the conference, has ably kept up the family reputation set by his older brother. He kicked off for Grand Ledge, sending them into the ten yard zone. He leaves in june and it will take two good men to fill the vacancies left by Silver and Millard. jiles tjohnl Silver played guard. He was our largest man and made the largest hole for our backs to drive through. john was always alert and picked up many fumbles. He had the hobby of breaking through and smearing the opponents ball. carrier before he got under motion. john is a Senior and leaves this June. Glen Holland, playing his fourth year of football, was a cool, versatile player, a sure tackler, an accurate passer and kicker and one who did most of the punting and scored many times. Raymond tRazorl Dailey was our fastest man. He started this season at half, but found himself at Howell where he played end. Dailey started the scoring by taking a punt 45 yards for a touchdown. No opponents' runs were successful around his end. He was a sure receiver of passes and could carry the ball after he caught it. It will take a good flank man to fill his position next year. Roy tChutyl Chute, playing his first year of football for G. L. H. S., was one of our best men. He played a tight defense, intercepting many passes, and raising havoc with the enemy end runs. He was one of our hardest tacklers and next to Bill was our best offense, playing his best game at Charlotte, cutting off end or picking a hole in a line. He scored our only touchdown against Charlotte. Vivan tSpeedyl Husted is always in the right place at the critical moment. Vivan works hard, although he never says much. Wilford fBilll Catey. Captain-elect, played while a Freshman and this year, as a Sophomore, struck fear into the hearts of all opponents the first time he got in action. He is a good leader and plays a clean game. He was prominent in all games, especially at Charlotte, where he rarely failed to gain a yard or two when n-eeded. Being fullback places him in a position to watch and encourage his team as a captain should. We are depending on you, Bill. Ellis tTiml Hicks, although slight of stature, came out determined to make the team and earn a UG . Tim was a fast and clever back, his greatest asset was pivoting. He blossomed out in the Hillsdale game and steadily improved until the Howell game when he received a broken wrist which kept him from the game for the remainder of the season. He returns next year and will help the Blue and Gold. Kenneth tFatl Maxwell was a new man, but showed the experience of a veteran at center. He was an accurate passer and played roaming center on defense, showing better defensive ability than many regular backs. Fat played all of each game and returns next year. Clinton lClintl Withey has played two seasons at end. Although small, he is fast and plucky. Russell iRusl Gates was one of our best linesmen, playing guard last year and shift- ing to tackle this season. He is heavy and exceptionally fast and isn't particular how hard he hits. Rus was iniured in mid-season but has one more year in which to score. He is capable of playing backfield. Harry fTompyl Thompson played end like a veteran. He had an uncanny ability at snaring passes. Harry is long and rangy, being able to cover much ground. He could be called upon to kick and pass. Harry is a Sophomore and we expect him to receive two or three passes behind Charlotte's goal line. Richard tMillsyl Mills played a steady, consistent game at tackle and smeared up most of the plays directed at him. He is a Sophomore and returns next year. Dale Hendee was shifted from his center berth of last season to tackle. He was an alert defensive player and broke up many plays of the opponents before they were started. He returns next year and will help Bill Catey make a winning team. 45 1925 -- Basketball -- 1926 WINNERS OF THE G Capt. Estol Culp Capt.

S s'..Qff S. 1925 -- Basketball -- 1926 Estol Culp fCapt.ainl. This was Culp's second year of competition, thus his experience and knowledge of the game, coupled with his talent and ability made him an ideal captain for the squad. His regular place is at center, but his eye for the basket, and clever floor work has made him well fitted for a forward. His knowledge of the game and defense ability also has made him a good guard. Culp played center the first half of the year until the two guards became ineligibleg then he played forward and guard until he found the team under a handicap which necessitated his playing guard. Estol is a Senior and will be greatly missed next year. Stuart Doty tStul. Doty came out and surprised the bunch by making his letter the first year. Stu played guard and was good on defense. lt has been known that his man never made a basket in the game. He also was good on fouls and long shots. Stuart is a Senior and will not be able to play any more for the G. L. H. S. Glen Holland fDupeyJ. Holland was a veteran of last year and held down the same job at guard until he became ineligible. He was clever with the ball and was a good de- fense man. Dupey is a Senior and will not return next year. Raymond Dailey fRazorJ. Raymond played guard for what time he was eligible. He seemed to have the hobby that whenever his opponents made a long shot he would do the same, thus making the game very interesting. Dailey was fast and could cover a lot of floor in a short time. No fast forward was too fast for him. Razor is a Senior and has played his last game for G. L. H. S. Wayne Richard fCaptain electl. Wayne was a letter man from last year. He held the pivot job down most of the season and is capable of playing forward. Wayne led the team in points this year. He knows the game well and ought to make an ideal captain next year. Wayne is a junior so he will play his last game next year. Good luck, Captain! Robert Porter fBobJ. Bob always appeared on the lineup as a forward. He has a good eye for the basket and is equally good on both long and short shots. He played team work and always kept his opponent guessing where he was. Bob is a Junior and will make a good man to help put out a winning team next year. Harry Thompson tThompyl. Thompy played guard until he was taken sick in mid- season. He was rather green at the game but usually started the ball rolling by making the first basket. Harry is a Sophomore and has two more years to show his skill for G. L. H. S. Harold Haysmer fHasiel. Harold played his second year for G. L. H. S. this year as forward. He is good on both long and short shots, but he showed his ability on long ones when he played guard a couple of games. For all of that, Hasie found his place at forward. Harold was our best man on the team for shooting fouls, which helped our end of the score. As he is a Sophomore, he will be back for two more years to help the Blue and Gold to victory. 47 Baseball Lineup For 1926 CA TCHER: jerry Hoag. Keith DeMoss. PITCHER: Theodore Lapp. Harold Haysmer.

Baseball 1926 Because this is Grand Ledge's second season of baseball, we have few veterans to count on, but every red blooded American boy is in a way a veteran baseball player. So our rookies, in their first game, took the field looking like a polished team, displaying team work, baseball knowledge, hitting power, good pitching, and an exceptionally low per- centage of errors. Harry Thompson, Captain, was one of the two letter men from last season.. He is a skilled first baseman and makes a good target at which to throw. Thompy has a long reach and can pick up throws anywhere near the base. He came up with the average in batting. Thompy is a Sophomore and has two more years to play for G. L. H. S. Gerald Hoag, catcher. Jerry is an ideal backstop, he not only looks like a catcher, but acts like one. Although this is his first year of competition, he handles his pitchers like a veteran. Jerry is a natural hitter and loves to sock the ball, hitting it hard and often. He is a Sophomore and has two more years to play for G. L. H. S. Donald Lavery, center field. -Don is a fast, flashy fielder and has a good peg to the plate, but his best work was at bat. He was lead-off man and reached first more often than any other man on the team. Donald is a Junior and will return next year. Wayne Richards, shortstop. Richard is a good fielder, covers an exceptionally lot of territory and has an accurate snap throw to first. Wayne is a good hitter and has brok- en up many ball games by his timely singles, just over the infield. Richards is a Junior and has one more year. Robert Porter, first base. Bob is a flash around first, hauling in some very difficult throws: that is one reason why there are few errors chalked up against the team. Bob is a dependable hitter, rarely failing to deliver when there is a man on base, which makes him of double value to the team. As he is a Junior he will play his last for G. L. H. S. next year. Karl Jepson, second base and center field. Jep was a reserve last year and this year made the regulars. He plays both second and center field with equal ability and is up with the average in batting. Karl is a Junior and has one more year to compete with G. L. H. S. Roy Wonser. third base and right fielder. Roy played infield the fore part of the season. but was later placed in the outfield where he had been playing previous years and this was found to be the place for him. He was a hard hitter when he hit, securing extra bases. As he is a Senior he has played his last game with G. L. H. S. Stuart Doty, third base. Stu surprised the bunch by coming out and playing third base the first game. He is a good hitter and when not in a game he is used as a pinch hitter which makes tim a good man to have on the nine. Stu is a Senior and will leave old Grand Ledge High in June. Keith DeMoss. catcher. Keith was always ready to spell Hoag on the receiving end of the battery. He is the smallest man on the team and opposing pitchers always find him hard to pitch to, usually giving him free transportation to first. Keith is a Soph- omore and will be back for two more seasons. Wilford Catey, left field. Bill was out last season, but did not receive a letter. He came out this year with the determination to earn one. He is an accurate judge of fly balls, can cover a lot of territory and has a good peg. Bill is a heavy hitter, usually hit- ting for extra bases. He is a Sophomore and will return next year. Grand Ledge had three rookie pitchers this year that delivered the goods. Many strike outs and few walks featured the work of the pitchers. Few safe blows were collected from their delivery. As there was not much choice, each took his regular turn on the rubber, thus preventing overwork and keeping all in shape for the entire season. Theodore Lapp, pitcher. Lapp perhaps had an edge on the others because of his ex- perience and knowledge of the game, and he was able to use his stuff to better advantage. Kenneth Maxwell, pitcher. Maxwell is short and from appearance would never be selected as a pitcher, but under the tutorage of an older brother, he developed plenty of stuff and needed only the polish which experience would give him. Harold Haysmer, pitcher. Harold is tall and has a long sweep of his arms which goes for speed of the cannon ball type. He has stuff on the ball now and is developing more. With a little experience he should develop into a good pitcher. 49 Track Men--1926 Russell Gates CCapt.l Kenneth Plank. Clinton W-ithey. Keith MacNaughton Donald K. Toaz. jiles Silver. Wilford Catey.

Club One day a few Senior girls decided that the Senior class needed more pep. They took it upon their shoulders to arouse the same. And arouse it they did. The next day they came to school wearing purple ribbons around their necks. QPurple being the c1ub's color.J As a result much curiosity was aroused and a club was organized, choosing for its name P. E. P. meaning push equals pep. All Senior girls were members of this club and they chose Miss Helen Tench as their sponsor and the following officers: President ,,,,.,.,,,,,,,. .........

Since September of 1925, it has been issued regularly each month. Local advertising, a page of cartoons, and a larger paper are among the year's achievement's. The paper boasts of forty paid subscribers and a good circulation among the student body. The Senior members of the staff did much to make the Agesian a' success. Many of the others will make their experience count toward a bigger, better paper next year. 53 Student Council Of the many organizations in the Grand Ledge High, the Student Council stands the highest in rank. The purpose of the Council is not only to look after the student affairs of the year, but also to inrtroduce and bring new ideas into the school which will make Grand Ledge High the best High. The members of the Council are chosen to represent the High School in all the meet- ings. We have one from the Freshmen, Wilhelmina Hallg two from the Sophomores, Carl Cook and Dorothy Davisg three from the Juniors, Clara Schavey, Ethelyn Brazee, and Ken- neth Plankg four from the Seniors, Keith MacNaughton, Ruth Peabody, Dorothy McMullen and Harold Strange.

Ruth Peabody Floyd Kebler was elected Chief-of-police, Bill Catey, as one of the policemen whose duty it was to keep the halls from being blockaded and to guide any wandering students. On the same level as the police department is the fire department. Russell Gates the fire-chief, and his firemen worked out a plan which emptied the school of all students in less than a minute and a quarter. The Student Council handles all student affairs including Folly Day, Debates, Exhibits, etc., and has always been successful in all its undertakings. 54- Athletic Association The Athletic Association has been in prominence since athletics has had a place in the high school life. All members of the entire high school make up this Association and every individual has the right to express his wish. The officers of this year were chosen as follows: President .........,,.............,,,...,.............,..,,,.,......,.,,..,.,...,..... Estol Culp Vice-President ....,............... .......

He calls upon different members of the faculty, teams, and high school students to express them- selves regarding the high school athletics. The secretary and treasurer, Mr. Doty, deserves honorable mention, for he has had charge of all the money and has filled his position in a way which will be hard to equal in coming years. JO Sodalitas Latina MOTTO: Possum quia posse videnturf' f The Sodalitas Latina, an organization composed of all Latin students, enjoyed its first program and banlquet of the year, November, 1925, at which the Cerealia was celebrated. In December the members of the Cicero class assisted by Roman and Greek slaves, ban- queted the Virgil students of last year in true Roman style. It is the object of the club to stimulate an interest in Roman and Greek culture by giv- ing programs which are instructive as well as entertaining. This year the club has presented the high school with two pictures, The Roman For- um , and Cicero's Oration Against Catilinef' OFFICERS OF l925-1926 First Semester: Second Semestert Vesta Case ........,... .......

Smith, instructor of the Agricultural Department of the High School. The charter members numbered 18 and their first officers elected were: President, Helen Russell, Secretary and Treasurer, Hiram Hazeng Reporter, Elbert Kelsey. The purpose of this Association is to promote a greater interest ini the Ag. Department of the High School, to give all material aid to the farmer in the community that is in its power. and to furnish wholesome entertainment for its members. The first party was held at the home of Miss Eva Space on March 17, 1922. Since that date many live parties have been enjoyed. The club is now sponsored by Mr. Charles Morris, present instructor of the Ag. Department. The club members now number 50 with the following officers: President, Gerald Hoag, Vice-President, Richard Nlillsg Secretary and Treasurer, julia Taylor. This is one of the most active clubs in the High School, and in every respect it is a credit to G. L. H. S. The outstanding feature of the Club is the Father and Mother ban- quet held every year. 57 Plein de Vie Club The French Club, Plein de Vie 1Ful1 of lifeb, was organized October 2, 1925. It was organized for the purpose of creating class spirit and for entertainment. The follow- inrg officers were elected for the year: President .........,...,............. ,,...,.,....

Mabel Hiesrodt A Halloween party was held at the home of Eleanor Coppens for the purpose of in- itiating the members of French ll. Games were played, refreshments were served, every- one had a good time. The club is sponsored by Miss Bernice Evans, the French teacher. The business meetings are carried on in French. 58 Commercial Club The Commercial Club was organized on September 29, 1925, by Thomas A Babcock instructor of the Commercial Department of the High School. The purpose of this club is to promote a greater interest in the business world and to create a greater social life among the commercial students. The first social event was a Halloween party in the gymnasium, at which time new members were initiated. The officers of the club are: President .,.,..,...,,,.,.,....,....

T. Club The No Tobacco Club was organized in November 1924, by Thomas A. Babcock. This club is composed of boys from the G. L. H. S. who are under 21 years of age and have taken the following pledge: Knowing that the use of cigarettes and all other forms of tobacco are injurious to the body and mind, I will, God helping me, abstain from them until the age of 21 and use my influence to induce others to do likewise. The purpose of this club is to raise the physical, mental, moral and social standards of the men of this High School. When the club was first organized there were only twenty charter members. The first officers elected were: President, Elbert Kelseyg Vice-President, Lyle Bouckg Secretary, Wilford Cateyg Treasurer, Gorden Schiltz. The number of members have steadily in- creased to about 91g only 12 members have broken their pledge, a record of which the school is proud. This is the first club of this kind to be organized in the state. The present officers are: President, Russell Gates, Vice-President, Norman Reeder, Secretary, Estol Culp, Treasurer, Karl jepsong Reporter, Robert Porter. 60 Debating Although we were handicapped this year in having to break in all new material for our debating squad, we now have started the promise of a winning team. The squad consisted of Robert Reams, Freshmang Dorothy Davis, Sophomoreg Sylva Case, Sophomoreg and Mildred Brown, junior. The team was coached by Miss Helen Tench. Miss Davis and Mr. Reams contested in all the debates. while Miss Brown competed in those in which we upheld the affirmative side of the argument and Miss Case, the neg- ative. We won the first contest unanimously from Williamston. The second debate was lost by one vote to East Lansing. The other two we lost unanimously to Charlotte and East Grands Rapids respectively. lil Ag.

The Annual State Judging Contest held at Michigan State College was the largest Smith- Hughes Agricultural meeting ever held in the United States. There were 1200 students who competed from the various high schools in the state. Grand Ledge High School was ably represented by students in the Agriculture De- partment, coached by F. A. Smith. The fact that the boys placed well in three contests speaks well for their ability and training in phase of agriculture. 62 41,1 -,W Q k 'ii- Hec Club The Hee Club has only recently been organized under the direction of Miss Kaiser. The objects of this organization are to form a connecting link between the home and school, train young women to be active and efficient leaders in home and community life, to fur- nish an opportunity through organization for social life as programs, social gatherings and in general to promote interest in Home Economics work.

Mr. Weinie was highly insulted by not being properly roasted but accepted the apology, Our fires wouldn't burni' That fact alone couldn't harm the atmosphere and those who attended had a fine time. SENIOR-SOPHONIORE HAMBURG FRY October 14 was the day decided upon by the Seniors on which they were to ban- quet the Sophomores, their worthy allies. The event was to have been held at Riverside Park, but October's bright blue weather, characterized by many rains changed the scene of festival to the G. L. H. S. gym. At five o'clock the Sophomores arrived to partake of the delicious hamburg sand- wiches and coffee. The refreshments were followed by a speech of welcome, given by the Senior President and was rsponded to by the President of the Sophomore Class. The rest of the evening was spent in contests and games. Great enthusiasm was instilled in the hearts of the Sophomores to htlp the Seniors win the field day that had to be postponed because of the weather. SENIOR SLEIGH RIDE january 9, 1926 the Seniors held a sleigh ride party as a result of a ticket selling con- test. The girls consented to lose on account of the eats, for who ever heard of a Senior party without refreshments? For entertainment The Losing of an Important Piece of Wearing Apparel was made p-opular by George Bomershiem. At the home of Eva Space, we had supper and were entertained by games and contests. It will be a night long re- membered by those who attended. THE DOLLAR BANQUET Every Senior earned a dollar to contribute to the Annual Fund. When we turned in these hard earned dollars a banquet was held in honor of the occasion, in the G. L. H. S. SYm- ' At the time, every Senior had to tell how he earned his dollarg one of the most clever ways of telling how they earned this money was a poem written by Geneva Lavery. Good eats were enjoyed by all ,after which we adjourned to the High School dance. SENIOR CARNIVAL The annual Senior Carnival for the purpose of gaining money for the annual was held March 6, 1926. It surpassed all previous carnivals in the High School in its success. Besides the customary carnival booths of ice cream, candy and pop corn there was an art gallery and several acts of vaudeville. The movie entitled Why Hurry, was a fine provoking comedy to please the audience which proved to bring forth more laughter than there had been in the Assembly of G. L. H. S. for a long time. The two vaudeville acts were, Leap Year Proposal 1928 and The Traveling Photographer, the latter was given by the Ag. Club. The last, and far from the least enticing feature, was the bountiful banquet of chicken supper, wherein, chicken turned to salmon, and homemade pies to those from the bakery, but that was only significant of the number of loyal people who stood by the class of 1926 and came to this wonderful feast which netted more profit than any other feature of the entire carnival. The money-making scheme cost many weary souls and tired heads and hands but the class felt well recompensed, with a total clearance of approximately one hundred and sev- enty-five dollars. 60 Prettiest girl Best looking boy Prettiest eyes Prettiest hair Prettiest teeth Cutest Best dressed Best dancer Most popular Best bluffer Best arguer Best athlete Best musician Shortest h Popularity Contest Mabel McFerren Glen Holland Esther Wilcox Elwin Ammerman Mabel McFerren ,Iiles Silver Margery Mills Glen Holland Mabel Hiesrodt Ford Byington Mabel Hiesrodt Ford Byington Mabel McFerren Charles Brown Marian Wollpert Stuart Doty Esther Wilcox Charles Brown Zoya Shadko Lloyd Dixon Jean Davis R.

It Happened in june, Charles, alias Wayne Richards, came to Shady Grove to be under the watchful eye of Bettyls mother and to be kept out of mischief. But how could Charlie's father know that Betty had sent her m-other to Colorado for her health and that Betty had assumed the responsibility of taming the t'wild man? V Betty, played by Dorothy Anderson, you must know, was the beautiful young propri- etor of the Shady Grove store and the one whom the representative of the Noriss chain of stores, unfortunately Charles. was sent to put out of business. Randy Stuart, impersonated by Stuart Doty, was the young friend of Charles, and the two arrived in the village together. Randy's business however, was that of an ever present obnoxious insurance agent. Susie Crundel, Clara Schavey, abhores an insurance agent, as she very frankly ex- presses herself to Mr. Stuart, not knowing of course, his business. Mollie, Pauline Statler, cook for Betty's family, is the kind hearted old Irish lady who is trying to lend a helpful hand but in so doing she is rather inclined to complicate matters even more. Estol Culp carried the part of jim, the old man who had nothing to do in particular and plenty of time in which to do it. Mollie was the only subject in which he seemed particularly enthused. Can you imagine ,Io Merrill taking the part of Nell Crundle, Susie's little sister? No more need be said. Lillian Hodge played a character part of Evelina Scroggs, wl'o by mistake was led to believe that Charles was in love with her and she didn't intend to let him forget it. The villain, Jarvis Sneed, this time a small town king and superintendent of the Nor- iss store in Shady Grove, was portrayed by Lloyd Dixson. Sneed was apt to be found talk- ing beezness with Betty. 68 Class History ln the fall of 1922 dawned the present Senior class of the Grand Ledge High School. As beginners in our four year career, we were typical. The following rulers were elected in the Freshman Land: President, Ford Byington and Howard Schilzg Vice-President, Roy Teemang Secretary and Treasurer, Leah Craun. As will be remembered during our Fresh- man year we participated in only two events, consisting o wiener roasts on tfhe banks of the Grand at Delta Mills and at Riverside Park. They are events never to be forgotten, though bashfulness prevailed. ln the Sophomore Land we were affected by superiority over the ignorant Freshmen. This year we were governed by: President, Cleo Rossmang Vice-President, George Gall- oway, Secretary and Treasurer, jean Davis. This year, being such noble figures, we felt dignified in giving the Seniors our loyal support on a day that was christened Folly Day -and Folly Day was right. Of course we won, which saved us from an impromptu bath to Kent's Creek. Oh, yes! Then there's that wiener roast at Delta Mills. Some walked, some rode, but all got there just the same. Did we have a good time? Nuff sed. ln junior Land we were care free and happy. Our leaders were: President, Stuart Dotyg Vice-President, Miles Favreau, Secretary and Treasurer, Jean Davis. Our first great event- Folly Day. We surely made good use of it as this was the first time we could play smart. Remember how Miles Favreau played, he was a she no one recog- nized him. Who beat?-We didn't, but we had just as good a time. Did we have a sleigh ride? Should think we did and a good time too! Our next experience was planning for the Junior Senior Banquet. Many weeks of tedious work but we were well repaid. Ask the class of '25 if we weren't. ln Senior Land we were very dignified-now having a clear conscience when we laugh- ed at a poor lost Freshman. The following rulers took their oath of office: President Stuart Dotyg Vice-President, Lloyd Dixon, Secretary, Eleanor Coppensg Treasurer, Mil- dred Kellogg. We were first put on the map at a wiener roast at Riverside Park. The fire wouldn't burn, so Mr. Wiener was eaten raw, but who cared? Then there's that Sen- ior-Sophomore Banquet-red hot hamburger with onions, Duncha-Know. Ask George Born- ersheim if we had a sleigh ride. Can't you just hear the girls screaming? Then remember those eats at Eva Space's! Our Carnival came next. What a roaring success-chicken supper 'n everythin'!-Ask Mr. Sackett how he liked the two suppers. Our work then all went on the Annual, but didn't we enjoy it though ?-What did the purple ribbon mean? Wasn't there curiosity? The annual question, Are we going to wear caps and gowns ? l should say not. We have now come to commencement. The timber is reached, let us now begin to build.

Our Senior Year has ended, We must leave our classmates dear There will be a glorious memory, Tho we almost shed a tear. just to think we'll soon be scattered Thru this world so wide and grand, But we hope to be united Once again-Our little band. No, we'll not forget our teachers, Tho we leave them all behind, K And our faithful Mr. Sawdon, I Ever patient, just, and kind. Much they worked that we might profit By their knowledge and their skill, To repay them, hard we labored, Studied ever with a will. Now our Senior Year is over, High School days are of the past, Still they leave such pleasant memories, Memories that forever last. Many were the joyful hours, Many were the happy days, 'Till we come this day with honors To the parting of the ways. As we leave the Grand Ledge High School With our minds all wonder filled, just before us lies the timber Let us now begin to build. -Lola Isabel Fleming ' 78 Before Us Lies the Timberg Let Us Build Members of the Faculty, Classmates, and Friends. How many emotions are mingled in this group. We feel this to be one of the greatest events in our lives. For parents and friends, it is a time when you express your pride in us. But we are wondering down in our hearts about the days to come. The uncertainty of the future gives us a spirit of anticipation. Our class motto properly strikes the key- note of this hope: Before us lies the timber, let us build. We have just finished the foundation. Twelve or thirteen years' work is finished but just how well has it been done? Will it stand as a firm support for what we are go- ing to accomplish in the future? Is it a proper foundation for success? The time tor building foundations is over. Now we can only go along and patch up the weak places. we also have the opportunity of going to college. That training is not essentially a part of our foundation for success, but more properly the scaffolding which aids us to build great- er, more enduring and more magnificent buildings. When we leave this high school we will be confronted with a whole forest of timber with all of its opportunities at our handsg but we must furnish the disposition to make use of these great chances to build a monument to our name. e We must let 'none of these opportunities escape us or go to waste. Yet we must be careful in choosing substantial timber for the frame work. The carpenter doesn't choose willow, poplar, or any other quickly matured timber, but rather oak, walnut, and trees which require many years to develop. ln the same way, we cannot expect tnat opportunities whicn are guaranteed to yield us success in a day, will in turn give us real, lasting success. Nor does the carpenter choose worm-eaten or rotten-hearted wood for a strong, beautiful building. If we want people to see and realize the greatness of our success and its enduring qualities we will not build from worm-eaten and rotten-hearted opportunities, for we want a building strong enough to endure tempest and time. Uur work of building will not be finished until we pass from this life, while behind us we will leave results of our years of labor. Whether it is great or small, beautiful or mean, depends on our foundation, how we choose our timber and what use we make of it. Let us be like Mary Lyon, a young pioneer, who made it possible for young women to obtain higher education. She was a builder and we remember her today because she made the best oi her opiportu-n-ities. She lived in Massachusetts in the early part of the nine- teenth century. Her ancestors had been pioneers and what had been their own they gave to her-a sound body, a dauntless spirit, a venturesome mind and a merry heart. She felt the rough edges of life early, but Mary Lyon was bred to make the most of things if she did-n't find opportunities, she made them, and learned to be happy on a little. Her schooling was very irregular but she absorbed information like a sponge. In four days she mastered a book of English grammar and poured it forth in a single recitation. 1 would like to see what she would do if she could be sent to college, said one of her teach- ers. But colleges did not admit girls in those days. Mary Lyon realized this need and began to interest people in founding a college for women. For several years she worked on this project. l-ler triumph came at last when the governor signed the charter for Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. Most of the higher schools for women owe their ex- istence to Mount Holyoke Seminary and Mary Lyon's influence has gone around the world. We may not have the mental ability of Mary Lyons, but we can cultivate a dauntless spirit like her's, and develop the ability to make the best of our opportunities and there- by achieve success. lf we'win success, we will do so because of the opportunities our parents, teachers, and friends have given us when we count our blessings, we will find that we have been aided by a great many friends and helpers along the way. Tonight we wish to thank you who have made our foundation possible, contributed to our first success. Parents and friends, you will still influence us, but members of the faculty, we may never meet you again. You have been our guides and companions for the last few years. We are your debtors. Some of our graduating class might not have been here tonight except for your encouraging words, sympathy, and faith in us. Classmates: Our school days now are past and gone, And yet we fondly linger here, For sweet each joy that we have known 'Tis sad to part from comrades dear. The world before us brightly lies, Yet here fond mem'ry loves to dwell, With saddened hearts and dewy eyes We bid to all a sweet farewell! Long will our hearts recall each joy That bound us in sweet friendship here, For time can never more destroy The light of mem'ry burning dear. Of other scenes and other cares Our lips must now their story tell, Each heart your tender mem'ry shares Teachers, comrades, all, farewell! -Dorothy McMullen. Salutatory Speech As the class of 1926 we welcome you here tonight. For us, this is one of the great- est occasions of our lives, and we realize the inadequacy of mere words to convey to you the deep appreciation that we feel. First of all, for the earnest, untiring efforts of our School Board in doing their share to make the G. L. H. S. one of which to be proud-a scltool whose graduates are on an equal footing with those of larger ones. Their willingness to co-operate in every way possible, has been one of the important factors in making our school what it is today. Sometime or other, nearly everyone of you has come into con- tact with our Superintendent, and you realize why we are proud to have him at the head of our schools-a man who has given his best to them for many years-who has always recognized the students' side of a question, and done whatever lay in his power to help them. To our teachers there is owed a debt of gratitude which we can never hope to repay. Gratitude for thzir perseverance in imparting to us a share from their storehouse of learn- ing-for the encouragement we received from them when the flowery path of knowledge seemed to be unusually thorny-for the shining goal away in the distance which they kept constantly before us, and which we have now reached. Their friendliness and good will are things to be treasured always in memory. I am wondering tonight, if we appre- ciate the fact that this occasion marks an event which means as much to our parents as to ourselves. Have they not looked forward to the time when their sacrifices, entreating and hopes would be rewarded? Have they not shared our jlloys, our sorrows and our triumphs through our high school years? Their love, and their faith in us, will inspire and spur us on to those victories which loom bright and shining on the horizon of the future. No matter what degree of success we may attain, it can be traced back to the love and faith which they have for us. With graduation, there comes a parting of the ways for our class. We will no long- er be in the same class-rooms every day, nor in the same town or state. But each one treasures certain memories which have been stored up during our high school career, and these mean that for the old associations there will be kept a warm place in all our hearts. Always we will feel, that though one of many, our class was best, and as such, we again welcome you here tonight. -Mildred Kellogg. 75 President's Address It is. with a certain amount of pleasure mingled with a touch of sadness, that we seniors come to the climax of our high school career. Four years ago at this time when the Seniors of '23 were graduating, the feeling ran through all of us that it would be an eternity before we would ever reach the same goal, but now we have it, and how regularly those three years have gone! Now we are in- clined to enjoy those who have just begun their school life. As we have reached the pinnacle toward which we have been striving these last four years, we can look back on those just starting the ascent and perhaps for the first time perceive the true value of our high school education. Prompted by this realization we thank those who have made it possible for us to earn these diplomas which have been pre- sented to us tonight. A progressive Board of Education is very essential to the life and success of a school and we are indeed fortunate in having one whose interest in our wel- fare is so great. We thank them and in the same degree do we thank our Superintendent and our teachers who have aided in making our achievements possible. They have been ever ready helpers and we hope that they may realize how we appreciate their efforts in our behalf. Last, but far from the least important, we wish to thank our parents for this opportun- ity which they have given us and for the encouragement and aid that came so readily from them when we needed it most. We sincerely hope that we will be worthy of all the efforts which they have made in our behalf. School life this year has been intensely interesting for some activity was constantly holding our attention which made school not drudgery but pleasure. Victories in football caused our school spirit to flourish at its best. Basketball, baseball and track quickly followed this to fill out a successful athletic season. Debating also was a success as were many of the old and new clubs of the high school. The Senior girls showed that they had the right spirit by forming the Pep club, an organization worthy of mainten- ance. In future years we will be able to look back and say with pride our last year at G. L. H. S. was successful in all lines of activity. We came through with flying colors in other ways than these, namely, our Senior carnival and the publication of our annual, The Ledge . We are justly proud of the success of both of these ventures for it shows that the class has learned the secret of co-operation which is essential in every undertaking. In closing I wish to express to you, classmates, my sincere appreciation for the high honor you have bestowed upon me these last two years of our high school life. We have worked and studied together and have accomplished our goal as these diplomas indicate that we have started on the highway to the forest of success, where we are to build. Al- though we are soon to part, in many different directions, we will always be classmates and members of the class of '26, and may the remembrances of our school life, its joys and sorrows, always be with us and inspire us to build our best as members of the class of '26, -Stuart Doty. 76 CLASS OF '00 E.

The part of your dollar you spend has gone out of your control. The part you save you can count on when opportunity comes your way. This bank invites your savings-in fact, pays you to save, 4'M, interest, paid quarterly. Equal care and consideration is given to the small account or the large. Bank your money and in the future you can bank on it. The Hank YVHI1 The fwlzimfns' Clock LOAN AND DEPOSIT STATE BANK Grand Ledge, Michigan 87 4' ---------------------- -5- m.
