THE ORANGE AND BLACK 17 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1924 needs no written work to relate its great achievements. It needs no glowing words to eulogize its character. It demands no herald to proclaim its honor and dignity. But it is altogether fitting to review the most noteworthy events in the history of this illustrious class. In September, nineteen hundred and twenty, we, thirty-four strong, en- tered the halls of old G. R. H. S. With ideals high and vision clear, we set ourselves to the pleasant task of securing a high school education. Our high school infancy was characterized by hard study for we were too bashful to mix much with our upper classmen. After a recess of three months, we resumed our school work as Sopho- mores. Climbing the educational ladder proved too great an effort for many of our classmates. One by one they 'let all holts loose' and dropped from our midst. Although our ranks' were considerably thinned, we retained our cour- age and looked upon our classmates as one sage upon another, saying, 'There are still many of us. We shall do great things' This year we took an active part in all the activities of the school. Norma Souders, Garnet Manor, Helen Long and Mary Carr, Dale Huffman and Paul Huffman represented our class on the varsity basketball teams. In our Junior year, came many hardships, toils and pleasures. We organi- zed in the beginning of the year with Dale lluffman, president, Mary Carr, secretaryg and Paul Huffman, treasurer. Nine of our number found their places on the athletic teams and we were honored by having the captain of the boys team chosen from our class. Several parties were held during the year but the crowning social event was the Junior-Senior banquet given at the Rapids Hotel on Wednesday evening, May 2. After another enjoyable vacation, we again took up our school work, but this time Seniors. At our first meeting we elected the following officers: Dale Huffman, president, Mary Carr, vice president, Fordyce Hutchinson, sec- retary and Norma S-ouders, treasurer. We are now a band of twenty-three members grouped together to share our school laurels. Four of the members of our class, namely: Garnet Manor, Norma Souders, Fordyce Hutchinson and Paul Huffman have journeyed throughout their routine of school together, be- ginning in the year 1911 under Miss Simpson. The most notable achievement of the Class was the publication of a high school annual. We earnestly hope that the publication of the Orange and Black will be continued by the succeeding classes of our school. We are now leaving the school life to enter life 's school. Our high school days have passed, but they shall ever be a lifelong treasure to us. THE ORANGE AND BLACK Lives of Seniors all remind us, We can make some repairs, And, departing, leave behind us Foot-prints on the High school stairs. Foot-prints that perhaps will be ln the years that are to come, Useful for some to see When we are dead and gone. Let us, then, get up and dust With a heart for any fate, Get to school on time or bust, Never 'then again be late j ,gs-i' Yr 2 wiggle .iw eggs. 7 Lfe. -7 N v .

In the following years, we find each of the twenty-three members engaged an occupation of some kind. I, being a salesman of the Curtis Publishing company, have occasion to do much travelling. One day while in the city of Weston, I took lunch at a neat appearing restaurant. VVhen I entered I was surprised to find Bessie Jeffers and Lerhetta Wagle1'. In the course of my conversation with them I learned that, after leaving school, they had remained at home nearly a year and then decided that they would make their way in tue world. They also told me that! Fred Yawberg was now an engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. That was not so much of a surprise because Fred had always displayed mechanical ability while in school. I left Miss Jeffers and Miss Wagler wishing them success in the future and hoping to see them again. As the train pulled into the station, I noticed a familiar face in the cab, and I naturally thought of Fred. I did not get to speak to him and I am not cer- tain that he recognized me, but the way that train travelled and the way he took those curves, I concluded that he did and that he was trying to get even with me for the tumbles we had in our school days. I arrived in Toledo some- what worse for the ride. ' I immediately went to one of the leading hotels where I sig11ed for a room. XVhen the bell boy approached me, I was nearly knocked off my feet, for I recognized one of my old school mates, namely Ralph Schultz. He ushered me to my room where we had a talk of old times. Ralph told me he had come to the city as soon as he left school, I con- gratulated him on his position and suggested that thru hard labor and a little sticktoitiveness, he might possibly get promoted to tfloorwalkerf As I passed down the street, a large sign attracted my attention. It read: Miller and Long, Beauty Parlor. The name Miller and Long immediately rt-minded me of my old school friends, Florence Miller and Helen long. Out of curiosity I entered their place of business and recognized Florence and Helen. As they were very busy I took only a few moments of their time. I was pleased to hear that they were succeeding so well in their work. Wishing them suc- cess in the future, I took my leave. Intending to send my company a check, I entered the Second National Bank. As I walked toward the booth, I noticed a sign on the door, L. E. Johnston, Pres. After much delay and difficulty, I was permitted to enter Mr. Johnston 's office. Ilere I found Laird seated in a comfortable chair, taking things easy. Laird was always fond of handling big money, so I wasn't surprised to see him working in a bank. As we talked over old times, he told me that he had worked with the Grand Rapids Banking Company about Your years and was then offered a position as teller in the bank where he is now employed. As we recalled our old schoolmates I was suprised to hear that -lack Higgins and Cleo Ileising had gone into partnership. They direct one of the largest wholesale houses inthe city of Toledo. It was a greater sur- prise when Laird told me that both of them were married. As Jack and Cleo were always hashful and quiet fellows in school, their marriage was quite a 20 THE ORANGE AND BLACK puzzle to me. They had each married a classmate, Jack marrying Frances Sheely and Cleo marrying Fordyce Hutchinson. They were both married the same year of their graduation. As 1924 was leap year, maybe this explains their marriage. As I wished to catch the next train for Cleveland, I was forced to leave. I told Laid to pay by respects to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Higgins and Mr. and Mrs. Cleo Heising. i - While waiting at the Union Depot for my train, I heard a familiar voice Ilpon looking around, who was I to see? No one but my old chum Ted Hum- mel, who now holds the position of train crierf' How he ever secured this position is beyond me, because he could never talk above a whisper in class. Our talk was just getting interesting when my train arrived and I was forced to leave. Upon arriving in Cleveland, l decided to walk around awhile before going to WVest Tech High School where l had an appointment. As I strolled 'thru one of the busy streets of Cleveland, my eyes fell upon a large crowd assem- bled on the side of the street. I recognized a familiar face, and it was none other than Norma Souders. By asking a member of the crowd, I was able to find out that she was the head of the Salvation Army of this city and was there lecturing on the 'tRelief of the Foreign Nations. Norma was very capable of filling that position as she always took pleasure in helping others. It was now past time for my appointment so I hurriedly made my way to West Tech IIigh School. I had looked forward to this appointment with a. great deal of pleasure as I was to interview another of my old classmates, Miss Lieuceil Drake. She is now instructor in Foreign Languages in this school. My ,joy was increased, for when I entered I met the English teacher, Miss Elizabeth Evans. We three had a friendly talk together and called to mind many pleasant and trying times spent together. One day in the following week, as I was going down one of the main streets in the city of Pittsburgh, I saw a man picking himself up off the street just ahead of me. As I drew nearer, who do you suppose I recognized M? Charley Bowser. Approaching Charley I inquired of his misfortune. 'He re- plied that a couple of fellows had tried to get rough with him and he guessed he had gotten the worst of it. I finally coaxed him to go back into the build- ing from which he had been thrown. As I entered I noticed a sign on the window. Contractors, Complete Buildersf' On the inside I saw a man bend- ing over a large table drawing something. Coming a little nearer I recognized the skill of Raymond Henning. The skill which he displayed in drawing blue prints was similar to that he used in the days when we got exposed to geom- etry. Over in another corner I saw Dale Iluffnian, evidently doing nothing. This is the way he did in the days when we studied geometry. Getting into a. conversation with these fellows, I found that they are Complete Builders because Ray draws the blue prints, Dale does the construction and Charley does the common labor, making these the three in onel' gang. They informed me that they were very experienced and had been in business about four years. and added that they hadn't had a contract as yet. I left these fellows in the same niood as I had hound them. It is very doubtful whether a stick of dynamite would change their mood even though it would change their position. ,THE ORANGE. AND BLACK 214 As I entered the street again I was attracted by a newsboy calling UEXtra. The headline of the paper read, Salesgirl Falls Heir to Large Es- tate. Reading the article a little further, I learned that Miss Opal Crosby, salesgirl of Peoples Furnishing company had come into possession of a 551,000,000 fortune. How it happened remains a mystery, because Opal just disappeared and no one has ever heard from her since. -The question is whether she will be able to spend all that money. She might share it with the rest of us. What do you say, Seniors? As I call to mind the twenty-three members of the Class of 1924, I think of three members of whom I have not been able to account. Let us imagine ourselves back along the banks of the old Maumee. There we shall see two maidens, Miss Garnet Manor and Miss Mary Carr. Miss Manor and Miss Carr, disappointed in love, resolved to find happiness in each other 's companionship. They selected the banks of the old Maumee as the site of their beautiful resi- dence. Here we find them living in a secluded, adventuresome, yet happy life. The last member of the Class of '24, we find much more fortunate. We see our classmate. Miss Mae Heyman, now the housewife of a very rich farmer. She seems very happy, as it is said she sings continually during' the performance of her household duties. As I walked to my hotel that evening, I thought of our class motto, We launch tonig1ht,.where shall we anchor? It is pleasing to know that all of thc class have anchored, although some of us have not anchored in a very good harbor, yet you will always find the members of the class of twenty and four ever striving onward and upward toward the attainment of higher goals. iXuqg3x1,YV'u rd- .-LI ' .1 its FIG -'N K 5833 3512 12645. ilfw THE ORANGE AND BLACK TO OURSELVES We all think lots of our teachers And we think they love us too, For they never, never scold us For anything we do.

ORANGE AND BLACK JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Grand Rapids High School has never before enjoyed a more remarkable wideawake bunch of pupils than those composing the present J unior'Class. As a record of exceptional activity, the history of the class can not easily be sur- passed. The Class of '25 was organized September 20, 1923. It was composed of twenty-three members. The officers elected at this meeting were as follows: President, Floyd Lyle, Vice President, Bernard Katon, Secretary, Helen Shaff- ner, Treasurer, Bessie Crosby. Immediately after organization the class began to furnish chapel programs and continued to do so throughout the year. Four very lively parties were held under the supervision of this class. A Junior-Senior party was held at the school house October 12, 1923. Class parties were held at Liyle's, Shaffner's and Gallagher's. On November 23, '23, February 19, '24, and March 20, '24. The Class of '25 carries an enviable reputation in athletics. Of the nine boys in the class, four were accepted on High School teams. Two girls from the class played on the girls team, and a Junior girl, Gladys Gill, has the dis- tinction of being one of the All-Star girl players furnished by G. R. H. S. On March 7 the annual Inter-Class Basket Ball tournament was held. For the second time in two years, the class of '25 won the chompionship. Ortez Gallagher, Floyd L-yle, Guy Bachman, John Fuller, Howard Biggins, and Cloyce Carr composed the winning team. The Junior Class play, Am I intruding? was very successfully presented at the Town Hall on January 2, '24. S-ince some in the audience pronounced it 'tthe best rendered play given in many years it was presented again with suc- cess at McClure, Ohio, January 15, '24. The two productions netted the class +45 to be used for the Annual Junior-Senior Banquet. Mr. Guyer directed our play.

A beautifully designed class pin was selected and the members of the class bought pins. Cerise and green are the official' class colors. Throughout our school life we have endeavored to keep in mind and live up 10 our motto. ln it are embodied three of the principles that lead to success. They are: Self-confidence, Originality and Devotion to Duty. Our motto is: UBetter classes than ours have existed, but we doubt it. THE ORANGE!

Our number has diminished since we were Freshmen yet we are not in the least discouraged for although we are small, we beat them all. Our class was organized September 5, 1923. We elected the following of- ficers: President, Mabel Jeffers, Vice President, Howard Yawberg. Our class chose the motto: HFortune Favors the Brave. The class furnishes Chapel programs every fourth week. We have al- ways tried to feature a good, interesting program. Several of our boys, Ralph Hummel, Charles Regal, and Howard Yawberg, represented our class on the high school basket ball teams. These boys, with Russel Johnston, Ralph Miller, and Raymond Heising participated in the an- nual Inter-elass Basket Ball tournament. ' As a class we have tried to be a credit to our beloved high school. We are striving to do well, so that in the years to come, we can look back upon our years in school as the happiest in our lives.

And then the joy to find that we had passed. Vile were actually going to be in High School next year! Vacation passed quickly. With the beginning of school came fear and apprehension. What would High School be like? How should we act? Would our studies be very difficult ? 'tWould we be iniated? If so, How? Of course, like all other Freshmen classes we felt a little green at first and didn't know where to go. We were, however, directed by our teachers. The first few days of school we joined lustily in the well-known chorus, I am going to study this year. Parental hearts were filled with hope but our long-suffering teachers listened sadly. Well they knew how easy it was for us to say, 'SI will study and how few of us would keep our resolution. - - With arms book-laden we hurried into the classroom. We were all excited. There were no regular lessons on the first day. Our teacher, Miss Btreese. simply asked questions at random. Some of which follow: Miss Breese: t'Name something of importance that did not exist a hundred years ago. Elizabeth Brown: Me l t'Pretty Soft, said Leo Miller, as he scratched his head. Teacher- Robert Manor name a eollective noun. 7 Robert: A vacuum cleanerf' Teacher: What did Columbus prove by standing an egg on end? John Thomas: That eggs were cheap enough to be handled carelessly. Here Donald Katon broke in with a bit of his favorite verse: t'Onward, move onward, O time in thy flight, May the bell ring before l recite. Just then the bell did ring. liater the class officers were elected: President, John Thomas, Secretary Margaret Laskey. Vile have had two Freshmen parties, one at the home of Ruth S-oash and the other at Margaret L'askey's. We were also entertained early in the school year by the seventh and eighth grades. All present at these parties enjoyed themselves immensely. The girls of our class have all been 'tangeliew in their behavior, and the boys have been Hmodels of propriety?

F r ed Yawberg :iii THE ORANGE AND BLACK A BIGGER AND BETTER GRAND RAPIDS HIGH SCHOOL Everyone is familiar with the schools and their work. We recognize, in a general way, the necessity and importance of education, and yet we are likely to loose sight of the fact, that the schools of a community are the source and foundation of the community's progress. The relation of school and community is best understood through the application of two great principles or laws. First, the mathematical law that the whole is equal to the sum of all its parts, and second, the physical law that a stream can rise no higher than its source. A community, in the general civic sense, is a group of citizens, or according to the mathematical law, the sum of the citizens who compose it. The character of a community-whether it be progressive or backward, prosperous or poor, intelligent or ignorant, is determined largely by the calibre of its citizenship. lt is obvious that any agency in the community which makes the citizenship better informed, more intelligent, and more progressive is laying the foundation of community betterment. This work of developing a higher type of citizenship is the aim and purpose for which schools are con- ducted. Thus, a better school in Grand Rapids would be the fountain head of a better citizenship in Grand Rapids. God has been generous in his gifts of nature. On every hand we see evi- dences of His generosity. The broad fields, fertile valleys and picturesque scenery should inspire us to do our best. ln gratitude for these great gifts we should strive to progress. Continual and perpetual progress is the debt we owe. The underlying principle taught by our school, in its effort to promote progress, is civic responsibility. The obligation of the individual citizen to put forth his best efforts for civic betterment, is deeply impressed upon every pupil. They are made to feel a personal responsibility for the conditions in this community. Our school seeks to define the standards of citizenship. They comprise the highest ideals of patriotism, devotion, and service. But the work of our school does not end with the placing of these ideals before its students. It goes further. It strives to develop- the student to the point where he is able to assume responsibility according to the standards he has been taught. The duties imposed upon the citizens and patrons of the Grand Rapids schools call for sacrifice of the same degree that parents manifest in securing what is best for their children. The perpetuation of our school becomes a sacred duty. All that our forefathers fought for-lived for-died for, was just that, a bigger, a better, a higher citizenship and this must come thru the school. Let not Grand Rapids degenerate in her community spirit, but may she be awake to the crying need of the hour.-A bigger, better Grand Rapids lligh school. Rigger that every child of school age may be properly cared for-he-f- terethat they may be equipped to cope with the competition and problems of life.

THE ORANGE AND BLACK ,IL THE ORANGE AND BLACK 41 MUSIC Music should be the all-important factor of entertainment in any high school. Realizing this, Mr. Guyer has always encouraged all efforts towards the introduction of wholesome music in Grand Rapids High School. ,Early in the year, he placed before the student body, a plan for chapel programs to be held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Each of the four classes in High School was placed in charge of the programs in its turn. The students displayed wonderful interest in the project and keen rivalry for good programs was shown among the classes. A High School orchestra was organized and took part in several programs. Members of the orchestra were: Fordyce Hutchinson, Norma Souders, Eliza- beth Evans, and Charles Regal. A male quartette, consisting of Mr. Guyer, Mr. Thomas, Charles Regal and Ray Henning, favored us with some charming selections. Mabel Jeffers, Bessie Jeffers, Silva Backus and Elizabeth Evans, some of our talented singers, were kind enough to entertain at chapel services at various times. Charles Regal, John Fuller, Winifred Guyer, Fordyce Hut- chinson, and Helen Shaffner furnished us with many pleasing piano selections. These, in a musical way, and others, in a literary way, made the chapel services a constant source of interest and inspiration. Interest has become so great that, instead of more questionable ways of passing time, the students now surround the piano at intermissions and just sing, sing, sing. Early in 1924 a High School Glee Club was organized under the direction and instruction of Mrs. Dunipace. The club consists of thirty 'tpeppyn mem- bers and has sung at several of the important school functions. This was setting a precedent at Grand Rapids High School, and we hope interest in the art does not flag in succeeding years for after all one's education is never complete without a knowledge and appreciation of music. 'I E THE ORAN-on AND BLACK THE LYCEUM COURSE Each year the High School through its Senior Class makes possible a Ly- ceum Entertaining course for the community. This class assumes the re- sponsibility for carrying into successful execution the detail work required in the presentation of such a course. The Lyceum program for this year in- cluded four splendid attractions. On Friday eveningf December 21, 1923, the Liberty Belles Company open- ed our course with a delightful program of music, readings and impersona- tions. Many pronounced this company the best that had yet appeared in our town. The second number of the course was presented on the evening of January 16, 192-L by the Hendrys Company. Character sketches of Old Men, Negroes, Irishmen and Sailors were some of the impersonation features. Musical num- bers of various kinds added materially to the success of their program. The outstanding feature of the entire course was the home talent play pre- sented on the eveninv of March 1-1, 1924. Under the direction of Mr. Town- E9 send, the Senior Class presented, When A Girl Loves. lt was well given and well received. The caste of characters included: Ethel Banks, the Niece .......

THE ORANGE AND BLACK ORANGE AND THE ORANGE AND BLACK 45 BASKET BALL Although handicapped by a small number of boys from which to choose, Grand Rapids High School made an exceptionally good showing in basket ball. Only sixteen men turned out for basket ball this year, but from this number Coach Guyer selected a11d trained a team very fit to defend G. R. 's reputation. The training season began November 12. Stiff practices were held two and three times a Week. hate in November the regular team was selected-F012 wards, Charles Bowser, Paul Huffman and Floyd Lyle, Center, Dale Huff- man, Guards, Raymond Henning, Ted Hummel and Ralph Hummel. This team captured the championship of the West Wood county league, composed of Milton Center, Weston, llaskins, Tontogany and Grand Rapids. Of the twenty-three games played it won twenty. This surely is an exceptional record when one considers the hard work, stringent training and fine sense of duty and sportmanship which it implies. PAUL HUFFMAN, Captain of this year 's squad, has played three seasons with the varsity team. He is undoubtedly the most steady man on the team and every one looks to Huffy to perform in pinches and keep the team on its toes. He made the County All-Star teams of '23 and '24, CHARLES BOWSER, playing his first year on the varsity, proved a very valuable man at the other forward position. Ile did the most scoring during the season and always furnished a thrill with his sensational shooting. As proof, call to mind the Woodville game, where our sturdy athlete netted twelve points in two minutes. DALE HUFFMAN, one of the finest centers in the country, has played four years on the Varsity. Ilis sensational dribbling and aggressive spirit are very evident in every contest. Ile was an All-Star, in '23 but was unable to participate in the '24 Tourney. Cap is the basket ball hero of the commun- ity. RAYMOND HENNING, a second year man, was one of the best guards that ever performed on the old hard-wood court. Brown is also a. very fast floor man and proved himself a very valuable asset tothe team. TED HUMMEL, a second year man, is in every way equal to his partner.. Ile is a guard of exceptional ability. The forwards who penetrate thru his de- fense know that they have been some place. RALPH HUMMEL and FLOYD LYLE, the subs, were, of course, the goats, But nevertheless, they consider it an honor to have been permitted to wear the Orange and Black with such illustrious teammates.

In a slow and uninteresting game, the local boys were forced to accept the small end of a -L to 6 score. At 'Whitehouse September 28. This game was played on the opponents diamond on a fine day. Both teams fought fiercely but the Grand Rapids' boys triumphed 11-10. The abil- ity of a new pitcher, Earl Carter ,was first brought out in this contest-. County Champions at Grand Rapids October 8. On this date Grand Rapids played her most dangerous rival, Weston, at Grand Rapids. Although Weston Won the County Base Ball Championship, the Grand Rapids squad fought them to a score of 7-8, and lost nobly. At Grand Rapids Ocftober 12. This, the fourth game of the season, was played on thc local diamond with 'Whitehouse high school. Vtfhitehouse was unable to avenge her former defeat and lost again 2-3. At Grand Rapids October 23. I Haskins invaded Grand Rapids with noble intentions but was unable to de- liver the goods. Rapids was again victorious, score 5-6. This was one of the most bitterly fought games of the season. At Tontogany October 25. This, the last game, was a very suitable one with which to close the season. Grand Rapids went to Tontogany and decisively defeated that strong team 6-O., Due to the sensational catches of Ralph Schultz and the commendable pitching of young Uarter, only two Togany men saw first base. Charles Bowser also :tarred at first base with a stiff neck. NGN AX D 1l5l.Ai 'K f , f- 0 -VW.,,A - THE ORANGE AND BLACK 49 GIRUS BASKET BALL Tl1e Grand Rapids High School girls team has a fine record this year. Of the twenty-three games played they won 17. Their total scores were 695 points to their opponents 328. Mr. Harold L. Townsend selected and coached the team. The lineup follows: Forwards, Helen Long, Garnet Manor, Norma Souders, Frances Evans and Florence Miller, Center, Mary Carr, Guards, Gladys Gill, Elizabeth Croninger, Mae Heyman and Bernice Gill. GLADYS GILL, Captain, has played three years. She is an exceptionally fast guard and has a fine sense of sportsmanship. Because of these two thaits, 'tBilly has been chosen on the County All-Star team for the past two years. MARY CARR, a veteran of four Varsity squads, is one of the finest cen- ters in the country. Miekey's ever-smiling countenance is one of the admir- ing features of every game. GARNET MANOR, who has played three years with the Varsity, is the high point-scoring forward. She is a sure-shot and like Iluffy on the boy's squad, can always be relied upon for a basket when most needed. Ben is also a county All-Star member. HELEN LONG, the other regular forward, has played three years. She is noted for her long shots and for her steady, calculating way of making every lree throw count. Button is another of the County All-Star players. NORMA SOUDERS, the third forward or running center, has played three years on the Varsity. She gets the ball to her teammates if at all possible, and it is always possible with our Dutch, ELIZABETH CRONINGER, another three-year player, does her bit at G. R-.'s defense. When an opposing player looks 'Kpretty tough, they always put Pat against her. MAE HEYMAN, the third member of G. Ri.'s goal defenders, has also played three years. When the forward is too swift for Mae to catch, she is some speedy. FRANCES EVANS, another fast forward, has made the Varsity in her Freshman year. It may be well to add that no one ever 'truns over Frances. BERNICE GILL, our sturdy guard, has also the distinction of making the Varsity in her initial year. She is a really great little guard and bids fair to follow in the footsteps of her illustrious sisters, Marguerite, Marie and Gladys. FLORENCE MILLER-, another first year player, played guard in several contests and believe me she guarded. The old saying, She's little but she's mightyl' certainly applies to Flo, Resume of the Season: tllee. 7, Grand Rapids ........ ...... 5 34 Milton Township ,,,, -.,.-- 7 Dec. 8.

THE ORANGE AND BLACK 51 THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION One of the most interesting features of school work this year was the society for our parents and teachers. This organization was a big factor in con- tributing to the success of our school. It was largely thru this association that we were able to begin our School Ground Beautification project. The first meeting' of the Association was held October 2, 1923. At that time the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. H. D. Evansg Vice President, Mrs. Belle Conrad, Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. Zaidee Cummers. A Permanent Program Committee was selected, consisting of the officers of the :association and two additional members, Mr. Charles Lamson and Mr. Ri. E. Croninger. Because of extreme cold weather and much illness in the community, no meetings were held during the months of December and January. The Feb- ruary meeting night found us all back on the job as strong as ever. Dr. C. C. Kohl, of Bowling Green delivered the address at our' February meeting. His theme was Community Co-operation in the Educative Process. We feel ab- solutely sure that some of the things be brought to our attention were so true and simple, yet so fundamental, that they will remain with us the rest of our lives. At our final meeting we summed up the events of the year and found out how well the parents and teachers had become acquainted. We pledged our- selves to the cause of betterment in the association for 1925. HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT Early in October 1923, the Board of Education installed our Home Econom- ies Department. It is thoroughly equipped with the most modern utensils nec- essary for the Work. Thi s course teaches the value of foods and how to prepare them. Five tirty-five minute periods a week are spent in the discussion of the text, while four forty-five minutes periods per week are devoted to actual cooking practice. There are twenty-one girls enrolled in this department. Our limited space and equipment prevent more from enrolling in the course. It is hoped that greater opportunities may become available in this work as it fills a unique place in our High School program. The Agriculture boys gave us an opportunity to apply what we had learn- ed when they secured us to prepare and serve the food for their first Annual Parent and Son Banquet. They pronounced it a real success in every way. Filled with ambition and enthusiasm, and aided by the never ceasing ef- forts of our instructor, Miss Heiby, the class has not only thoroughly enjoyed the course, but has also acquired an adequate knowledge of the art of cooking. THE ORANGE AND BLACK 'THE SMTTH-HUGHES' DEPARTMENT Grand Rapids High School can be proud of the fact that it is one of the one hundred and thirty-four schools in' the state of Ohio having a Smith-Hughes Vocational Agriculture Department. Mr. Harold L. Townsend is the instructor' in this Work and spends the entire year in his various duties. Early in the fall the agriculture classes took up a detailed study of soils and fertility. Much of their knowledge was gained first hand thru field trips. Marketing, Farm Management, Farm Accounting and Farm Organizations are a few of the subjects studied during' the year. Men Experienced in these lines lectured to the classes at various times. Among those who spoke to the students were R. E. Croninger, Mr. C. C. Lang and Dr. De Tray. In addition to their regular class room work, each boy in the department is required to successfully complete an agricultural project of some kind. These projects are directed and supervised by the instructor during the summer mon-ths. The Agriculture boys took a very active part in the School ground beau- tification project. They were organized into squads under leaders and assign- ed definite work. Maps were made of the proposed changes, then actual Work began. Dirt was hauled, sod was cut and Placed, shrubs were set out, and the yard was levelled off and seeded. In the Tuberculosis eradication coinpaign conducted in the county, our boys took a leading part. They assumed the responsibility of securing signa- tures in Grand Rapids township. The success of their efforts is shown by the fact that 95 per cent of the farmers in this district signed the petition to have their cattle tested for tuberculosis. A Farm Shop or manual training course is offered under the Smith- llughes plan of instruction. The class this year has undertaken a variety of shop jobs and has become quite skilled in the important phases of farm repair and construction work. Woodwork, care and sharpening of tools, harness re- pairing, belt lacing, window repairing, soldering, rope splicing, staining, painting and varnishing are a few of the things Farm Shop boys must be able to do. That the Agriculture boys took a keen interest in social affairs is shown by the splendid success they achieved in instituting their first annual Parent and Son banquet. After a delicious four-course dinner the following program was rendered. Toastmaster ..................... ...... P Iarold L.
