I Chorus: For we're the class of nineteen thirty-one, And we,re going to leave you now, We've had our share of fun and learning too, So to all we say adieu, Into the world we must go And travel life's high road, Somewhere, somehow, we'll meet again, Now then a fond farewell to everyone, Says the class of thirty-one. . Those happy hours, in dear old Graveraet High All too soon have hurried by 3 Yet memories will ever linger on, Though we scatter far anon. Page Thirty-one : - Che Prism :iff- CLASS HISTURY As time and the work of man go on history is continually being made. It is the ambition of each generation to make its work and achievements outstanding and above the standards of the past. Be- cause of this tireless desire of man to succeed, we are able to select parts of history that are brighter in every respect. S0 it has been with the Senior Class of 1931. We have been in our sphere of life making history. It has been our utmost ambition, since we are the first class to have completed the four years in the new Graveraet High School, to leave the record that would be superior. It is my pleasure, in this brief and concise summary of our work, to bring forth the reasons why We believe our achievements are outstanding and why they are highlights in the history of this school. September 7, 1928, that memorable day, will always be recalled as the one when one hundred forty-nine freshmen, filled with pep and enthusiasm, entered Marquette High School, Cready to bring honor and praise to their classj. Our trials and tribulations that first year were carried by Miss Artz. As President, Richard Magoon proved to be most capable. Other class officers were, Robert Anderson QVice-Presidentj, Carol N ault fSeere- taryj, and Aili Leivo fTreasurerj. The class seemed to be overflowing with athletes that year. In foot- ball, Martin Aho, Albert Paris, Ernest Neault, and Howard Hawken provided material for a strong freshmen team. Who has forgotten that undefeated basketball team of the yearlings, when they won the school championship by defeating the Sophomore team 2 to 1? Again Aho, Paris, and Neault proved to be the mainstays. As Spring with its outdoor sports came around and the call for track men went out, twenty freshmen answered. They were eager to show what they could do. What they accomplished that year caused many to remember them as being the most earnest and sportsmanlike freshmen. The shining light in this sport was Albert Paris, who by his speed won many firsts in the Junior Track meet held that year, and he and Kaino Ojanen earned a place on the first squad. Our first notch in athletics having been made, we turned to declama- tion. Sarah jane Southworth carried off first place honors, followed by Robert Anderson in third and Richard Magoon in fourth. Thus, you see three freshmen leading the way in this branch of work, Scholastic achievements kept pace with activities. Allen Knuusi and George Lehnen received nearly all A's during the year. At the end of the marking period seventeen freshmen had their names on the honor roll. The clubs of that year were filled with the ever striving freshmen. A Reading Circle was organized by Miss Artz in which there were twenty members from our class. Robert Anderson and Jack Rough rep- resented us in the journalism Club, Edwin Ernstedt and Harold Smith Page Thirty-two L- fglze Prism were in the Commercial Club. We surely had a group of picture- hunters that year, for the Camera Club, sponsored by Mr. McGowan, was composed almost entirely of freshmen. Aili Leivo, our treasurer, was kept busy with the money taken in by several candy and pantry sales. Although the cash was not used at this time you can be assured it helped us with our financial troubles the following year. The high social event of our freshman class was a party given on May 18th when we used the Junior Prom decorations. When we entered school in the fall of 1929, we were placed under the supervision of Miss Von Zellen. Officers elected were jacob Katz Qllresidentl, Robert Anderson QVice-presidentj, Leslie Erickson fSec- retaryj, Mary Potter QTreasurerj. This year we as Sophomores again shared the athletic honors. Mar- tin Aho, .Iacob Katz, and Albert Paris received letters in football. Basketball awards were given to Martin Aho and Jacob Katz. Our track team had dwindled down a little, but Albert Paris, Jacob Katz, and Robert Anderson were among those that reported for training. We again won honors in declamation. Ruth Clark placed first here and in the sub-district contest held at Negaunee. Emma T repanier, too, represented our class in this contest. The honor roll this year was once more led by Allen Knuusi. Fol- lowing him, George Lehnen and Ruth Clark held second and third places respectively. When the final marks came in seventeen sopho- mores had their names on the honor roll. Their work had been ex- ceptionally good and received the praise of the class adviser and principal. Enumerating the number of clubs that year we find that there were only two principal ones. The Journalism Club had seven sophomores on its membership list. In the commercial department Edwin Ernstedt and Harold Smith represented us. Lois Roepke and Aili Leivo were contributors to the Tatler, predecessor of the Prism, that year. As we recall the various activities of that year, we think of our class- mates who shared in the limelight of the stage. In the Christmas play we find Betty Gaspar, jacob Katz, Ed Ernstedt, and William Wright. In the cast of the all school play appeared the names of Jacob Katz and Dorothy Brock. With this number of actors and actresses in our class we were ready for many dramatic conquests in the next two years. Finally the day for our Sophomore picnic came. It was held down at Maynard's camp at Lakewood, where a sumptuous feast was served. Many games were played by the fellows, but these not pleasing the desires of Thomas Swenor, he betook himself to sailing about on the large pond near the camp. Our attentions were soon attracted by much yelling and laughter, and rushing down to the water, we saw Tommy swimming for shore with much speed. The party ended as the sun was setting, and everyone went home tired but happy. Year by year we progressed and our work of 1929 showed us to be capable of continuing our achievements as upper classmen. In the Page Thirty-three fall of the following year we were told that Miss Von Zellcn would again be our adviser. Robert Anderson was the choice of the class for president. His assistants were Leslie Erickson, Edward Ericksson, and john Longyear. Everyone was eagerly looking forward to a suc- cessful year. Three Juniors represented the class in athletics. Aho, Paris, and Katz won letters in football, basketball, and track. lt was a very suc- cessful year in these three branches of sportsmanship. Also one junior, Richard Magoon, represented the school in tennis, competing in a tour- nament held at Escanaba. Many other members of the class took part in the pep meetings and other functions which helped to arouse school spirit. As the time for the Oratorical Contest came around, we heard Robert Anderson, james McCulloch, and Richard Magoon give their contri- butions. john Longyear won first place in the Extemporaneous Speak- ing Contest. We certainly were not failing in our scholastic duties. That year we found twenty juniors on the school honor roll. Again Allen Knuusi, came in at the head of the list.. He received the prize for being the best student outside the senior class that year. 4 As we once more come to our extra curricular activities, We find Richard Magoon, Gertrude Winkka, Edwin Ernstedt and Robert An- derson in the Commercial Department. An outstanding club of the year was the Girl Reserves Organization, which continually throughout the year contributed its services to the school. Other clubs, the French group and Hi-Y boys, had their share of Junior members. The Tatler staff of 1930 had eight Juniors on its lists. john Longyear was as- sistant-editor, followed by Robert Anderson, Esther Backels, Eva Bixby, Jacob Katz, Allen Knuusi, Aili Leivo, and Jack Rough. In dramatics the Juniors again seemed to dominate. The Christmas play had the leading parts played by members of our class. jacob Katz, James McCulloch, William Wright, Pauline Haines, Gertrude Winkka, and Frances Bennett took part. In the same manner the All School Play was put over by Juniors, with Helen Knuusi and Richard Magoon, taking the leading roles. Both of these plays, although quite different in character, proved to be very successful. Our actresses and actors were progressing in great style. ' Throughout the whole year various methods of raising money were tried. Candy sales and pantry sales were held. A few matinee dances also helped to fill the treasury. Finally, as a result, we had accumulated enough money to make our junior Prom a unique and long to be re- membered affair. How we juniors worked! Under the efficient guid- ance of Mr. Rodefer We successfully put across the big event of our school career. It was a glorious way of completing a splendid year of work. On the second clay of September, nineteen hundred and thirty, one hundred seniors entered the Graveraet High School to complete the course of study which they had started in nineteen twenty-eight. Some Page Thirty- four new faces were among them, and the ranks were thinner than at first. Those who came this far were prepared to make their last year of high school a lasting memory. Much rejoicing and ease was felt by the members of the class, when we heard that Mr. Rodefer was to be our adviser. His successful handling of the previous senior class assured us that we were in safe hands. james McCulloch, a capable and worthy student, was elected presi- dent of the class. Mary Potter was chosen vice-president, followed by Edward Eriksson as secretary and Robert Bennett as treasurer. These officers fully understood their duties, which can be easily ,seen by what they have accomplished. Again this year, as in the previous three years, the same names ap- peared on the athletic rolls. Football and basketball had Martin Aho, jacob Katz, and Albert Paris again. In each of these sports one new name was added. Richard Magoon earned his letter in football, and Archie Liimatainen in basketball. After three years of representing the school it is with much regret that they realize their work is done. As the time for orations came around, john Longyear and Robert Anderson came forth to represent our class. john Longyear again en- tered the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, These two boys deserve much credit for their constant efforts in these speaking contests. Their splendid work in these departments is appreciated by every one of us. Coming to our honor students of the year, and also their records of the past four years, we find that Allen Knuusi, by his splendid work as a scholar, has reached the high honor of first student in the class. He has proved by his accomplishments to be one of the highest rated stu- dents ever to be graduated from our school. Next to Allen Knuusi we End a new student, Burr Clifford, entered our school as a junior. ln his two years here he has worked consistently in order to reach his posi- tion as second highest in the class. ' At the end of the marking period of this year, we nfid sixteen seniors on the honor roll 3 four of the number are honor plus students. In sum- ming up the scholastic achievements for the past four years, we find that our class ranks as one of the highest to graduate from this school. This year the commercial department was well represented by Seniors. Elma Makinen, led the group by winning first place in short- hand transcription, at Negaunee. Others taking part were Pauline Haines, Ruth Boldig, Edwin Ernstedt, Esther Backels, and Vieno Lampi. Their work was well done and was under the supervision of Mr. Bennett. The Senior Girl Reserves was an organization that displayed won- derful cooperation throughout the year, never missing an opportunity to lend a helping hand. It is for this reason that 11ot only the Senior Class, but the rest of the school as well, greatly appreciate its work. It is now that we come to the two important literary functions of the year. Robert Anderson, as editor-in-chief of both the Graveraet Page Thirty-five fCq5he Prism Weekly and the Prism, proved to be very capable in his positions. The work he put in editing these publications deserves the thanks of the entire student body, and I am sure we readily give them to him. Helping Robert Anderson in his weekly paper was that industrious group known as the journalism Club, They continually contributed to the paper and helped to make it successful. The majority of members of this club were seniors. In editing the animal Robert Anderson was helped by the staff and Mr. Denton. This group also consisted largely of Seniors. They have performed a piece of work that is worthy of praise. Throwing aside all former rules and regulations, they have built us a new and different book from any had in Graveraet High prior to this time. Their theme was original as was the type of contents used. The Prism will be a fitting record of our high school work. As we come again to our dramatic accomplishments, we find that lfVilliam Wright, Edwin Ernstedt, and Norman Danielson had parts in the All-School play. The Senior Play, A Prince There Was , was the high light of the year. Ruth Clark, jacob Katz, James McCulloch, Gertrude Winkka, John Longyear, Martin Aho, Irene Wallace, jack Rough, Marie Leivo, Gladys Anderson, Esther Backels, and Andrew Easley were the members of the cast. It proved successful both tech- nically and financially, thanks to the directions of Mr. Denton and Mr. Whitman. Both casts of the all school play and and senior play celebrated the success of their work at banquets given by Mr. VVhitman. With our activities drawing to a close, we began looking forward to our senior hop, banquet, picnic, and last of all, commencement week. In order to put these over we had to have money. A one act play given by members of the senior class under the direction of James McCulloch, brought a little money into our treasury. Several matinee dances and candy sales were given. Class dues were gathered in, and finally we were all set to proceed with our plans. A Dutch theme was used in the decorating scheme of the hop. Various colored windmills, tulips, and Dutch figures were elaborated upon. As a whole the design was splendidly worked out and proved to be a very happy occasion for all who attended. As a social event it follows cfose upon our junior Prom as being our oustanding party in the last four years. Now, at last, Commencement Week is here. It is our last week together as a class. We shall all go our ways and strive, as we have in the past four years. to accomplish and perfect our ideals. As a class we worked together and did our best, but as individuals, I shall only quote our motto: In ourselves our future lies .-Jacob Katz.

The noise of a shrill, weak whistle is heard near at hand. We cheer, some of us, but the majority glance up skep- tically as around the bend Fulton's Folly puffs into view. Robert Fulton, its designer, called his famous boat the Clermont. Its speed was four and one-half miles an hour, its length, only one hundred forty- nine feet. We think it must have been very crude, but the introduction of Fulton's steamer was the biggest stride ever made in the history of shipbuilding, for it revolutionized water transportation. Always the most important problems in the history of a civiliza- tion has been transportation. It is more important than kings or pres- idents or even the nation's boundaries, for without it little progress can be made. Nations with few railroads, few automobiles, and few im- provements on inland waters are those which are backward. Much of America's greatness is attributed to the commercialization of its water- ways. Briefly let us review the fascinating evolution of boats in order to see what an advance was made by the introduction of the steamboat. A mere log was the first form of floating craft used by man to trans- port himself and his goods. Next came the raft. Later the dugout was introduced as a result of the hollowed-out principle. Then came the canoe and soon dugouts were increased in size. Triremes which had decks, masts, yards, and were nearly as long as the Clermont were used by the Phoenicians as early as 900 B. C. The clipper ship of the 18th century, used prior to steam-driven boats, was the highest type of wooden sailing-ship. It was not suitable, however, for rivers, so cumbersome flatboats had to be used. From 30 to 40 days was re- quired to go from Louisville, Kentucky, to New Orleans, while three months was taken to return against the current. The steam boat took seven days to go down and sixteen to make the trip back. Soon the great network of Western rivers and lakes was covered with steam- boats. Frontier settlers now had access to markets in the east and thus the westward movement was promoted by the steamer. However, there were great gaps between the sections drained by the Mississippi river, the Great Lakes, and the rivers emptying into the Atlantic. Until the Erie Canal was completed in 1825, it cost 3,5100 to transport a ton of wheat from Buffalo to New York. The Erie Canal, extending from Albany to Buffalo, a distance of 400 miles, reduced the 96100 rate to 3520 and the time by twelve days. What of us in the Great Lakes region? How did the steamer af- fect us? Let us go back and review the wonderful pageant of traf- fic, equalled nowhere else in the world, which has progressed on our Great Lakes-lakes for which soldiers of France, Spain, England, and Page Thirty-nine l-Ii Gite Prism the United-States have fought, lakes across which, each year, moves a tonnage greater-many times greater-than that which passes through the Suez Canal, where the trails of the world meet, lakes where gulls still ride on the white crested waves, but where the smoke of the giant freighter has replaced the billowing sails formerly etched against the northern sky. Long ago the canoes of the Indian glided over these lakes, then came LaSalle in 1679 to conquer them in his ship, the Grif- fin, which was really little more than a cockleshell. La Salle, though history calls him ruthless, cold, domineering, was the first man to see what the Great Lakes might become. Almost a century and a half later, in 1818, the first steam boat was operated west of the Niagara. It had a curious but appropriate name, Walk-in-the-Water. Twenty-seven years after this, the Steamer Independence, in spite of the Falls on St. Mary's River, entered Lake Superior and came as far west as Keweenaw Point. Prior to this, settlers and prospectors for iron or copper had to make the trip from Sault Ste. Marie in small open boats, hugging the shore as they slowly proceeded. The founders of Marquette came here in that way in 1849. After eight days of sailing, rowing, and poling in their fur trading boat from the,Soo, they reached the mouth of the Carp River. A diary written on the trip says there was nothing to eat but pork and potatoes or beans on the way 5 on one day only six miles were covered. just two years later the Steamship Manhattan stopped at the excited little town of Marquette. There was great rejoicing at the dock of the Cleveland Iron Mining Company as the ship drew in. Steamers, how- ever, were taking a great risk to enter Superior on account of the falls on St. Mary's River. Governor Mason of Michigan had been advoca- ing locks in St. Maryis river for some time. The measure was finally passed and surveying begun, but the Work was stopped by the Federal Government. Representatives appealed six times for permission to continue before it was finally granted in 1852. Charles T. Harvey, who had foreseen the importance of the canal, had studied the pros- pects, and had done surveying, now started actual work upon the canal. Though Harvey had previously been oniy a scale salesman, the canal was completed under his direction in two years' time, in spite of malaria, typhoid, cholera, and other problems. Soon the first shipment of ore passed through. By the end of the year the tonnage through the canal was 1,147. Forty million tons now pass annually through the Sault Ste. Marie locks. By 1896 two new locks had been built at Sault Ste. Marie. Iron steamers for ore trade were first used in 1882. Predic- tions said that ore ships would remain the size of these. Now, however, we have freighters over six hundred feet in length, almost three times the length of those first iron Steamers and ten thousand is the tonnage of our modern ore boats. A slight rubbing of one of these ships has been known to put a bridge out of commission for days. Docks, there- fore, must necessarily have the heaviest foundations possible. Consider the method of loading and unloading in those days as compared with it now. It was done by hand by the crew on the vessels. Four days were Page Forty CC5716 Prism required to load the usual cargo of three hundred tons and seven days to unload it. Sailing masters usually piled the ore on the decks, as it was more safe than having it in the hold and less expensive -to unload. Hy treaties of the United States and Canada the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River have, for many years, been open to boats of both countries. No levels may be changed on these waters without the con- sent of the International joint Commission composed of three members from each country. When the question of constructing a deep channel from Lake Superior to the tidewater of the Atlantic came up it was re- ferred to this commission. They reported a St. Lawrence waterway not only feasible but desirable and advised further investigation. In 1924 each country appointed three engineers for this purpose. This board of six engineers and other committees submitted their reports to the International joint Commission. There has been much cori- troversy on the subject ever since. President Hoover, in his speech accepting the nomination for presidency showed himself especially in favor of the waterway. We hope we may live to see the day when this great project is com- pleted, making it possible for ocean-going vessels from the far corners of the earth to pass through the Great Lakes and stop at our- Northern cities. This day seems distant, perhaps, but tremendous changes in navigation on the lakes have already taken place, as we have seen. America would not be what it is today if this were not true. Three- fourths of the ore used in the country today comes from the Lake Super- ior district alone. Were it not for these lakes and the low-cost trans- portation, there would be no practical way of handling this gigantic and most important commerce. Although transportation has developed beyond the dreams of the most optimistic pioneers, the pageant of traf- fic over these wonderful lakes still continues and will continue with increasing grandeur. lt is impossible to predict what it may hold in store. -Ruth Alden Clark. TRANSPORTATION BY LAND Man's progress depends largely on his ability to establish and main- tain with his fellowmen means of communication. ln the days of Wash- ington. Adams, and Jefferson the United States was in the age of the stage coach and the turnpike. Experiments had been undertaken with railroads. Daily debates were carried on between the advocates of rail- ways and those of waterways, the latter usually gaining the victory. When the canal era was in full swing, the railroad was but at its beginning. One reason for this was the fact that the mechanical and engineering problems of canal construction were much simpler. The immense possibilities of the other were hidden from mostg and the build- ing of the canal was easier to understand and undertake. At the first -suggestion of the building of a railway for general use, there arose complicated problems that had to be met and conquered. Fundamental was the development of the locomotive, an extremely intricate piece of machinery. It was nearly a century before this en- Page Forty-one T:-I-L1 C5716 Prism gine was brought to a degree of perfection, making its use feasible: however, this was only part of the difficulty. Roadbeds and rails were vital problems, together with the form of cars, brakes, and most impor- tant of all, organization and control. The tramways, the first type of any kind of railroad, were an im- provement on the turnpike, but utilized mostly for carrying freight. The first railroad constructed in America with the definite aim of use for carrying both passengers and freight was the Baltimore and Ohio. It was begun by a group of progressive, farsighted business men in 1827 and in 1828 the first rails were laid for a distance of thirteen miles. Various sorts of power were experimented with, one being a flat car fitted with a treadmill operated by a horse. This device was decidedly condemned when the contrivance was sadly upset on its first trip by a stray cow. Most necessary was a steam engine which would operate without auxiliary aid. For fifty years, various inventors 'attempted to work out the idea, until an Englishman in 1829 introduced an engine of this kind. An inventor offering ideas to the Baltimore and Ohio contributed a steam locomotive, small and crude, called the Tom Thumb. Improve- ments were made on this good beginning and, when operated in 1830, it travelled thirteen miles with a car of twenty-four passengers at the rate of four miles an hour. Following closely upon the construction of the B. Sz O. R. R. came the Charleston and Hamburg. It was more com- plicated and more perfected, and after being railed and re-railed, it de- veloped the speed of thirty miles an hour without load and twenty-one miles an hour pulling four loaded passenger cars. The most astounding development was the locomotive with the name of De Witt Clinton. The first public trial was given it in 1831. Wood fuel was used and the passengers were showered with sparks from the engine. Hundreds and thousands thronged to see this mechanical marvel and from that time on the stage coach age slipped into the past while a new era in our his- tory began. These railroads were the leaders in experimental railroad construc- tion. The practicability of this new form of transportation needed no further proof to encourage future projects and by 1835, people and goods were moving by rail in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and the steam railroad was an accepted fact in the United States. It cannot be assumed, however, that no opposition was encountered in advancing this new type of transportation. Investors in competi- tive businesses, such as turnpikes and canals, actively thwarted the ambitions of railroad promoters. Dairymen, freighters, and tavern keepers hampered in every way the success of these endeavors. Most of all, the farmers, gloomily visioning the elimination of their markets and unresponsive to the enlarged opportunities offered, stubbornly blocked charters and protested building. After many battles against this opposition, the protests were smothered by the public acclaim of the new mode of transportation. The excellent and unceasing progress which has been made over Page F orty-two the span of years since the De Witt Clinton locomotive was given a trial is very casually accepted today. There is a network of perfected rail- roads over our country, busy conveying goods and people for the bene- fit of our prosperity. Innumerable improvements have been made in the mechanics of the train and the engineering in the construction of the rails. Wonders have been accomplished by engineers in the bridges, trestles, tunnels, and other problems of elevation. Whether night or day, gigantic meteors go flying on land, taking their part in the progress of the U. S. One of the most important factors in railroad organization is that of consolidation. In the beginning these companies were built in short, dissociated lines. Before we entered the nineteenth century, it came to pass that, as a result of the tendency to unite connecting lines, our rail- ways system consisted of long lines of road under single control and management. Such consolidation, benefiting the people, proved its use- fulness and terminated petty opposition. This is regarded as one of the greatest forward movements in the history of the railroad. This type of transportation is most important to the nation as a whole. It aids the public in general and is the basis of the commerce of our lands. Next in importance is the individual type-the automobile. Since its introduction in America, it has changed practically every as- pect of national life. It has made accessible otherwise untraveled country, it has brought about excellent highways, and has revolutionized personal travel. The number of cars in the United States today is as- tounding. - The first vehicle widely used by the individual was the horse drawn carriage. The very thought then of a horseless one was sneered at and any suggestion seriously punished. England and France were ahead of us in accomplishing the change, but when America reached that stage of transportation, the automobile speedily grew as a factor in our daily life. Crude and queer those first automobiles were, but wonderful im- provements have been made to reach the beautiful cars we have today. The gasoline automobile in America, the last to enter the field, the steam and electric engines preceding it, was the first to dominate it. The earliest gasoline car that was successful and became known was completed and given a trial in 1895. As a result, several inven- tors began experimenting in improving the cars. From these beginners, we get our automobile magnates, such as Henry Ford. After the im- mense success of the Oldsmobile and the Cadillac cars, a strong competi- tion was established in this manufacture. Between 1902 and 1907 no less than two hundred eighty-seven firms withdrew from the automobile business, while three hundred twenty-one new companies were formed in that same period, all of which illustrates the keen activity in the new found form of conveyance. Up to this time, the cars were always referred to as Hhorseless car- riagesn, but they began now to take a form that distinguished them as new vehicles, so the French bestowed upon them an official name-the Automobile, The mechanical design was perfected and altogether Page Forty-three Ghe Prism 1--I----I the automobile became a well-balanced and artistic vehicle. Many im- provements have been made upon the many kinds of cars we have, and in comparing the first with the last we see astounding differences. These first automobiles were for personal use, but now the idea struck the owners, why not use them commercially ? So commercially they began to use them. The only motive in the purchasing of cars other than for personal use before 1904 was for advertising, with the sole exception of taxi cabs. In 1904, makers of automobiles and com- mercial houses awoke to the possibilities of cars for business uses. In that year, resulting from this awakening, four hundred eleven trucks were manufactured. By 1910, some ten thousand' had been produced. Yearly the number became larger, the truck has proved competitor of rails for short-haul goods and a benefit as a feeder for long-haul traf- fic. As in the beginning of railroads only freight was carried, so with the commercial cars. History repeated itself. Then automobiles were manufactured for the main purpose of carrying passengers and were called the motor busses. These compete with the trains, in both long and short journeys. The problem of the mechanical difficulties has been almost conquered now, but there is not only the car itself to deal with-there are also the highways on which they travel. In this phase of the ever necessary progress, every tax payer, car owner or not, takes part through the funds coming from the payment of his taxes. This gives the opportun- ity to all to further the extent of our communication and commerce with others which marks the degree of progress of any nation. -Esther M. Backels. TRANSPORTATION BY AIR Last week there came a strange sound from the sky and, looking up, I saw a thing of fire, a great birdlike, flaming airplane astride the stars. Higher and higher it rose, piercing the sky, and suddenly, pivoting on a speck of light, it twirled and shot downward toward the roofs of the city, tumbling like a joyous pigeon from some mystic land, then head- ing again for the stars across the face of the blinking moon. With a little shower of appreciation came the thought that the heart of the whole matter lay in the spirit of the tiny man at the con- trols, that the sheer beauty of it came directly from the engineer who created it. Even the great Michelangelo would not have disdained the flowing line and gracious mass and throbbing power. So Angelo Patri describes what he calls Today's Beauty. This dream of man to fly is evidenced everywhere by legions of men who have actually flown or at least tried to fly. These stories are woven into the traditions of all kinds of men scattered about the world. The spectacular achievements of the present day represent the cul- mination of experiments and inventions by men of different nations over long periods of time. Une of the oldest tales of India records such deeds. Similar stories are hinted at on Egyptian monuments, The Page Forty- four -i-ll CCq.57ze Prism- Greek Story of Daedalus and his son Icarus is known. The Incas of Peru had an almost identical fable. In the ancient chronicles of Britain it is said that Bladud, the ninth king, essayed to be a flier. In Finnish legend llmarinen and in Scandinavian legend Wieland both attempted flight. The magic broomstick of the witch and the wondrous carpet of the Arabian wizard are part of the common folklore concerning the conquest of space. After the age of fable there are more or less authen- tic records of men who tried to float in the air or built models of birds or merely wrote out their theories. Among these are Roger Bacon, Leonardo da Vinci, the artist, and Emanuel Swedenborg. It remained for the twentieth century to see the realization of the dream. This century has witnessed mans conquest of the air. The airplane which flies so smoothly and swiftly above us is no longer an object of won- dermcnt 5 we regard it as common-place. It has made travel so rapid that we have had to revise our conceptions of time and space. It has caused the United States to shrink to about the size of Texas when we consider past and present -rates of speed. There is nothing mysterious in the airplane's performance. The science of engineering has applied well-known laws to the problems of flight, and the modern airplane speeds as steadily through the air as the automobile rolls on its firm roadbed. The days of congestion in air traffic are not far away. There are still many problems to be solved in regard to design, construction, and navigation of airplanes, but the public is rapidly accepting them as means of transportation and is be- coming air-minded. The story of manls mastery of nature's forces and his use of them for his convenience contains many interesting chapters, but none more fascinating than the story of the navigation of the air. Viewed in retrospect the steps in the perfecting of aircraft seem simple, yet they foreshadow a revolution in our ideas of transportation. From the stand- point of the mechanical principles involved, there may be said to be three stages in the development of flight, first, the invention of the balloon, which solved the problem of sustaining weight in the air, second, the application of power to the balloon, to give it direction and controllabil- ity g third, the use of power in a machine heavier than air, to raise it and propel it as well. The invention of the balloon is accredited to the two Montgolfier brothers, Frenchmen, who first experimented with paper bags filled with hydrogen gas. They finally decided that that gas which resulted from the burning of wool and moistened straw was the best available. In 1783, at Annonay, they succeeded in raising a balloon 35 feet in di- ameter to a height of 6000 feet. This balloon was made of pack cloth covered with paper, but it was soon found that silk was a superior material. This feat was considered so valuable a contribution to science that money was raised by popular subscription to continue the experiments. Later in the same year, a larger balloon was sent up at Paris with a chicken, a sheep, and a duck as passengers. These all reached the Page Forty- five ground in safety. Benjamin Franklin, who was an interested observer of the event, wrote to a friend in Philadelphia that in time these globes would be useful for sightseeing and other purposes. Before the year ended, an ascent had been made by Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes, who remained in the air twenty-five minutes and sailed over the greater part of Paris. This established the balloon as a means of carrying human beings as passengers, and many other ascents were made in the next few years. But the balloon has not become a practical means of transportation, because its direction and speed are not within the control of the pilot. Its principal work has been for observational purposes where height was the chief thing desired. The success of modern airplaines of the heavier-than-air type is an achievement to be proud of. Two brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wriglit, lived in Dayton, Ohio. As boys they had been of an inventive turn of mind, and had enjoyed making things that would run , as they ex- pressed it. They first thought seriously about flying in 1896, when an account of a death in an experiment came to their notice. They built their first glider in 1900, which, though it stayed in the air only a few minutes, encouraged them to keep on. Finally, in 1903, the problem of human flight was solved. Three flights were made. People generally paid little attention to this epoch- making flight at the time. Few knew of the event, or believed that it had been actually accomplished. Only in recent years has the world awakened to the significance of their achievement and begun to accord to Wilbilr and Orville Wright their well-earned place in the list of humanityls benefactors. Air transport is rapidly becoming an accepted part of our daily lives. Probably it will not supplant other forms of transportation, but because of the great speed which it makes possible, it will greatly in- fluence our ways of doing business, and our mode of living, though, of course, speed is not an end in itself. A witty observer once remarked, Americans are busily engaged in going nowhere in particular in a terrible hurry. The first important passenger air lines in the United States were connecting the North and South Atlantic posts, and mainland points with outlying islands. Soon after there was daily service between Detroit and Chicago, and there were other lines running from Cleve- land, Dayton, and Cincinnati. A new magic carpet that whisks its master across the continent in thirty-six hours is a reality. Planes from the East, laden with mail and passengers, drop out of the darkness to land at Kansas' City. In New York one morning, in Kansas City that evening to spend the night in a hotel, and in Los Angeles the next evening-such is the schedule of the New York-Los Angeles, all air, thirty-sipi hour passen- ger ancl mail service of Transcontinental and Westerii Air, Inc. Thus the continent is narrowed again, and the spider web of the American air map becomes more intricate. -Aili A. Leivo. Page Forty-six :-l-- 665718 Prism --i---------M THE PROBLEM AND ITS POSSIBLE SOLUTION Unnumbered centuries ago, when there was no North America, a mighty sea covered our continent. Only three scattered groups of islands reared their heads defiantly above the turbulent swell of those prehistoric waters-what man was later to call the Alleghanies, the Rockies, and the highlands of Lake Superior. A primitive man once roamed the hills by the Great Sea NVater. Far to the north he had travelled to hunt the white tailed deer. Vlfearied of plodding up and down the heavily wooded hills, he cast himself upon the ground. Lying there prone, he idly ran the sand through his fingers. He looked at them-they were blood red! A stone of the same ruddy color was nearby-another, and another. Gathering a heap of the strange nuggets, he cast about for a means of carrying them back to the village. A noise in a nearby thicket, an arrow stealthily slipped into his bow, and he crept to the shelter of the copse. His muscles flexed, the missile whistled through the air, and the beast fell. A work of but a few moments with the rude knife, and the glittering metal was gathered up in the folds of the hide. The aboriginal swung it upon his back, and carried it back to his fellows in the village. That was the beginning of transportation. No longer is the glit- tering metal carried on straining backs. The spirit of progress has touched her wings to the carrying of the treasure, and of the trees which witnessed that scene long ago. Tonight you have heard the history, the romance. Now we come to adjustment, our own part in the tale. The history of the various modes of modern transportation is the history of the country as a whole. But each section, state and com- munity has its own problems of adjustment, its own peculiarities which must be met squarely and resolutely. Michigan has had its period of trying problems. When the first cry of iron ! was noised about, there was not the usual stampede, the mad struggle for control of the treasure. The iron country was a long way off, means ofexcavating and carrying away the ore were primitive. But the complexities of transportation were solved. strap railroad was begun in 1855, and was completed the same year. .A picturesque caravan it was, with its tiny carts and strug- gling horses, piled high with the ruddy metal. But it soon gave way to the equally picturesque but more practical iron horse. In 1857 the whistle of locomotives echoed in the Superior hills. The wooden trestles, from which the metal was loaded on the car- riers, gave way to structures such as we now have. One of these was the largest steel and concrete dock in the world at the time of its building, and from 1895 until 1930, 62,275,842 tons of ore have rolled Page F arty-seven Q-.--.Zi me Prism Q-Q.-,T down its chutes into the holds of the lake carriers. Now once again a pile driver in Marquette harbor, ticking away the minutes on the clock of progress, announces the construction of a new clock to surpass this record. The glittering nuggets uncovered by that savage in the northern 'hills are now taken from the deep deposits of Nature, carried by the iron horse, and dumped into modern galleons. Thus begins another chapter in the transportation of ore. To get this ruddy metal to the forges of the east, man has clone the seemingly impossible, has changed the face of nature. The Soo canal is one of the great engineering feats of history. The mightiest inland sea in the world is held back by thin sheets of steel. Were these gates broken, a catastrophe too terrible to contemplate would happen 5 Lake Superior would rush down the man-made St. Mary's channel. Man toys with the forces of nature and thinks nothing of it. Harbors have been dredged, channels have been deepened. National and state governments worked hand in hand with private corporations and as a result the great highway has been as carefully mapped and posted as a city street. Lighthouses and buoys, lightships and bells have done the work as traffic policemen of the water. For the monster does not always lie serene under skies of Lake Superior blue. Storms take their toll. Lake carriers stop at the foot of the lakes, bound in a restless body of inland sea, while the ports of the world are calling. Someone sug- gested connecting the Great Lakes with the ocean. The proposed St. Lawrence waterway can and will be built, and will be a tremendous step in navigation, rivalling the Suez and Panama. The heart of a na- tion will be a seaport. What tremendous influence this will exercise on the markets of the world! Ships might leave Marquette, bound for every country of the worldg giant steamers from strange ports. Yes, the day when Cinder Pond is joined with the Mediterannean will be a great one in history. Wl1ile these great improvements in rail and water transportation were taking place, another page in the history of progress was being turned-that of the motor car. ' It is said that the automobile has made of the Americans a race of nomads. At any rate the horseless carriage and its descendants have been responsible for a great change. The motor car abolished sectionalism, fostered a spirit of travel. When someone coined the phrase See America First l he summed up the sentiment of the auto- mobile age. Regions, with historical and scenic attractions to offer the nomads. realized the immensity and value of this new exchange. Roads were in demand, and today the upper straits country has 1,618 miles of state and national trunklines. The original byway, followed by the Page F orty-eight discoverer of the glittering nuggets, has become a network of inviting highways, reaching into every corner of the lakes country. But these inviting highways also invited speed. Communities passed speed laws of fifteen, or twenty, or twenty-five miles an hour, while builders of automobiles kept right on producing engines that would make fifty, fifty-five, sixty and seventy, states stipulated' a high- way rate of thirty, or thirty-five, and then built highways with banked curves. It was another famous American paradox. The speed mania, however, helped to widen the roads, and was responsible for still an- other improvement, the placing of safety markers at every conceivably necessary place. Building of highways recalls the gravest transportation problem with which communities are confronted today-the triumph of the horse- less carriage over the iron horse. Railroads paid goodly prices for their rights of way, and tremendous expense was involved in their construction. Now by our road building campaign we are strangling the very source that made these roads possible. Trucking companies and buslines are taking full advantage of the improved highways, and are increasing the wear and expense on the roads. This excellent highway is gratis to the trucking man, while huge taxes are paid by the railroad companies. Much of this money goes to build an untaxed right of way for its competitor! A great portion is used for public schools. In the city of Marquette alone, the public schools receive every year from this railway tax :ls60,000, compared with the possible 35500 from miscellaneous trucking concerns. It is inevitable, never- theless, it is a tragedy of this modern era of transportation. Land, water, and-air. The Upper Peninsula, as a whole, ,is not yet air-minded. Our airports, though fairly numerous, are not ade- quate for the present needs. There are fifteen makeshift airports scat- tered throughout our large area. The rugged, rocky terrain of the Lakes country, though pleasing to the tourist on Michigan's well kept roads, offers anything but a comforting aspect to a pilot whose plane is stuttering ominously with engine trouble. W-e should campaign for emergency landing fields, ten miles apart, marked with standard signs. But our need of transportation is for some machine capable of carrying the millions of tons of ore which pour out of our mines yearly. Railroad and lake transportation will be uppermost in our minds for years to come. Therefore our problem is to protect our railroads, im- prove our roads, and guard well our shipping regulations. -Robert Anderson. Page Forty-nine The Prism Page Fifty FRONT STREET ENTRANCE AND SUNKEN GARDEN KAUFMAN ENDOWMENT FUND Through the generosity of Louis Graveraet Kaufman, a citizen of Marquette, in establishing the endowment fund bearing his name, it has been possible to provide for a series of entertainments of high artistic value, including plays, operas and musical programs by professional artists, and lectures by noted personages, to be held from time to time in the Louis G. Kaufman auditorium. Students of the Graveraet High School have the privilege of enjoying these programs free of charge, while -townspeople are admitted at a price which is very low, consider- ing the quality, popularity, and merit of the various numbers. Captain Sir George Hubert Wilkins, famous Australian explorer and scientist, opened the 1930-31 lyceum course with an unusual and in- formative lecture. The subject ofihis speech was F lying the Ends of the Earth , in which he related his experiences during six years of exploration and research in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and out- lined the plans of his proposed submarine voyage to the North Pole. This lecture, delivered on Gctober 27, 1930, was illustrated with mov- ing pictures taken during his numerous expeditions, including the his- toric world flight of the Graf Zeppelin in 1929. The subject holds a continued interest of his audience, since a great deal of publicity is now being given to his projected North Pole Expedition in the sub- marine Nautilus. The Fires of St. john , a four-act play by Herman Sudermann, was presented by a group of Chicago Art Theatre players on December 5, 1930. This drama, the feature number of this year's lyceum course, was without doubt one of the best artistic productions ever presented in Marquette, and was thoroughly appreciated by a large audience. Manthei Howe, Mining journal dramatic critic, said of this perform- ance: It is the first time in ages that the town has had a whiff of the aroma of the real stage. Witiiessing that smoothly presented drama was one of the most delightful experiences we have had in a long time . The plot of the play centers about a German family in the nineties. The leading roles, those of Gertrude Brauer, George von Harten, and Marie, the adopted daughter, were well played by Miss Betty Phillips, Eri Hul- bert, and Miss Agnes George, ably supported by Van Osch, Miss Kathryne Montgomery, and others. The stage settings and costumes, designed by Richard Kroth, enhanced the splendid performance of the actors. Branson De Cou, whose Dream Pictures of northern Africa were a part of last year's lyceum course, made his second appearance here on january 22, 1931. Unusual Western VVonderlands was the subject of the lecture, which was illustrated with his famous Dream Pictures , hand-painted slides with harmonized musical accompaniment. Among his pictures were beautiful views of the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Page Fifty-one fghe Prism Carlsbad Caverns, and various Indian cities. Pictures of the animal Hopi Snake Dance, the most remarkable aboriginal ceremony in Amer- ica, once forbidden as a photographical subject, and now entirely dis- continued, were also shown. Much of the history and customs of the Indians was revealed. Tom Skeyhill, well-known writer and lecturer, on March 2, 1931, proved that truth is really stranger than fiction when he sketched Ser- geant Alvin York, a character no writer of fiction would dare to create. The life story of this remarkable figure, made doubly enjoyable by Skeyhill's fascinating delivery, held the complete interest of the audience. Alvin C. York, The Last of the Long- Hunters , was a mountaineer youth whose achievements during the World War were proclaimed the greatest individual martial achievements in history. Of Skeyhill, Manthei Howe of the Mining journal says: Coupled to his real and unquestionable ability as a showman, he has a flair for making his subjects alive . That Skeyhill painted a delicate and vivid picture of his hero, and that the students reacted wholeheartedly to the talk may be judged by the Graveraet Weekly's comment, Somehow the speaker showed that the real theatre of conflict was in Alvin York's soul, his inexpressible faith in his God. Tom Skcyhill has firmly entrenched himself in Mar- quettels favor. May the Kaufman foundation bring him again . The Opera Comique Company of New York entertained us on March 18, 1931 with a presentation of the Michael William Balfe opera The Bohemian Girl with piano accompaniment. The story of the opera concerns the daughter of an Austrian count who is kidnapped by gypsies and later returned to her father by her lover. Among the arias were the well known favorites, I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls , Then You'll Remember Me , and A Heart Bowed Downu, all sung in English. The opera was directed by Francis Tyler, a member of the cast. julian B. Arnold, noted traveler and lecturer, closed the lyceum course on May 27, 1931, with an illustrated lecture on India. He pre- sented first hand information on the economic, political, and religious situation in India, past and present, convincingly and authoritativelv. Colored slides supplemented his verbal pictures of the peculiarities of India, the degenerative caste system and the unequal distribution of wealth. An unusual slant of his talk was his refutation of the popular belief that Mahatma Ghandi is the voice of India. A popularity vote conducted among the students by the Graveraet Weekly resulted in a victory for the Chicago Art Theatre's presentation of The Fires of St. john , a plurality of the students considering that play to be the most enjoyable of thc six numbers on this season's lyceum course. The lectures given by Tom Skeyhill and Sir Hubert Wilkins received second and third place, respectively. Page F ifty-two Q A Q A1 fd , 1 V- ' '44-v'.

Donald McLean Theiftrniors numbered eighty-two this year, and a keen class spirit coupled with their versatility and cooperation made the year one of marked success. Following the preliminary organization and election of officers, the class turned its attention to participation in school ac- tivities. Gilbert Versailles represented the class in football, and was elected next season's captain. ' The Red and White cage squad included three juniors, Mark Lar- son, Arnie. johnson and Gilbert Versailles. These three fellows re- ceived basketball letters, and will be the nucleus of the 1931-32 team. In the oratorical contest Robert Clark and Victoria Gingrass spoke for the juniors. ' First place was taken by Clark, and Victoria Gingrass was awarded third place. Robert Clark again won at the district con- test and was eligible to compete at Munising. He also represented the Juniors in the extempore meet, winning first place, and spoke at Kalamazoo in the state contest. V Victoria Gingrass, Blanche Cowling. Bertha Lakes, Gordon Erick- son, Robert Clark and Alfred Sweder were in the cast of the all-school play, She Stoops to Conquer. ' During the entire year the junior Class has been prominent on the honor roll, and raced the Seniors for first honors. The class may well be proud of those who achieved scholastic success. The crowning touch on a successful year was the Junior Prom. A record crowd danced in a delightful garden of hollyhocks and shrub- bery, set off by green lattice fences and lawn swings. A glorious blue sky completed the spring motif. VVhen called upon as Seniors to lead in school activities next year, the accomplishments of this term will lend them confidence. Miss Mae Von Zellen is the Junior Class Adviser.

In class activities, athletics and cooperation with other classes, the Sophomores have made an enviable record. Officers were the first con- sideration of the class of '33, and the meeting held in the auditorium at the beginning of the year was taken up with the organization. - The call for football candidates found many Sophomore fellows in uniform, and at the end of the year the Sophomores had five letter- men-Edward Fish, Wilfred Fish, Woodrow Betts, Charles Pigott and Edward Malmgren. Numerals were awarded to jack Williams, Ahti Tuuri, Ero Wiitala, Charles Alvord, Oliver Hakala, Paul Pelissier and Richard LaFond. The Sophomore class had no representatives on the first team in basketball, but class members composed the bulk of the second cage squad. . Members of the class of '33 representing Graveraet in the Commer- cial Contest at N egaunee were Helen Lehto, jean Miller and jean Pen- haligon. A social evening, with dancing, games and entertainment booths was a decided success on November 21, and the class was host to the whole school. The class was represented in the cast of The Bird's Christmas Carol, the 1930 Christmas play, by Edward Battisfore. The She Stoops to Conquer, all-school cast included Donald Rains and Edward Battisfore. A Sophomore homeroom, 213, was the only individual homeroom in the building to present an auditorium program, following Mr. An- ClCI'SO11,S invitation at the beginning of the year. The entertainment followed an Indian Legend theme. Carlyle Iandron and Myron john- son portrayed the Indian characters and Richard LaFond read the lyric. The ballet was made up of Sophomore girls. The school's athletic possibilities at present seemingly lie with the Sophomore class, and this fact, added to the other accomplishments of the members promises a bright future.

Clarence Remillard The class of '34 has been an unusually active Freshman class, and its members have participated whole-heartedly in school activities during the year. Cooperation with the class officers, elected at the first meet- ing, was one reason for the success of their projects. The Freshmen have the distinction of being the only class to accept the invitationgiven at the first assembly in 1930 to sponsor an au- ditorium program. Several members of the class took part in a musical entertainment, and the student body was guest of the Freshmen during the period. , Seven Freshmen survived the tryouts and competed in the local declamatory contest. Willard VVhitman, George Kendricks, Gwendolyn Bryce and Herbert Fletcher won first, second, third and fourth places respectively, the Freshmen taking all prizes. Whitman placed second in the district contest held in the Kaufman auditorium. In the dramatic field the Freshman class also had representatives. Willard Whitman, Herbert Nyquist and Olga Troili participated in the all-school play, Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. Freshman stu- dents in the Bird's Christmas Carolf' were John McDonald, jean Robertson, William Bonnell, and john Morman. As always, the Freshmen were the shock troops of the football squad, always on hand for bumps, drubbing by the 'first stringers, and always coming up for more. The boys who survived the season and were rewarded with numerals were Willard Whitman, William Bon- nell, Leonard Hillberg, Robert Pierce, Herbert Fletcher, Earl LaBluc, John Akkala, Charles Devonshire, Eino Kiva. Matinee dances, candy sales and the routine of classwork rounded out the year for the Freshmen. If a good beginning is a task half done, this class will come back to school next year with confidence, ready to take its place in the active organizations of Graveraet High. Mr. McGowan is adviser of the class.

The production was under the direction of Mr. Denton, instructor in English and dramatics. The cast included representatives from each of the four classes. Blanche Cowling as Mrs. Hardcastle and Robert Clark as the English Mr. Hardcastle made a perfect Hbackgroundl' for the two romances of the plot. Tony Lun1pkin's horseponds were treated admirably by Gordon Erickson. Victoria Gingrass, as Kate Hardcastle, was a win- some heroine. The wealthy, and consequently very desirable Miss Neville was portrayed by Bertha Lepola. To these leading characters go much creditg but the minor parts were also perfectly played, and the pictures created in the tavern and in the living room of the Hardcastle manse by the servants were splen- did examples of character delineation. The supporting cast had to be exceptional to warrant the success gained by this production. Page Seventy-eight CHRISTMAS PLAY The Birds' Christmas Carol was this year's Yuletide presenta- tion, and was given on December 18 in the Kaufman auditorium. Mr. VVhitman was in charge of the production. The simplicity and charm of the plot of Mrs. Kate Douglas Wig- ginis story is known to everyone, young and old. Carol Bird ffnez Ablewhitej becomes the fairy godmother of the Ruggles family, is made happy by the knowledge that her Uncle Jack QMartin Ahoj has fallen in love with Elfrida CMarie Rickardb, Carol's nurse, and plans to fete the little Ruggles at a Christmas party. The scene in the Ruggles man- sion with the harried Mrs. Ruggles C Emma Trepanierj preparing her offsprings for their social debut is one dear to children. The sorrow- ful but beautiful death of Carol is a touching climax. The leading roles were admirably cast 5 individual personalities seem- ingly were brought out in the portrayal of the story. Secondary parts were so well characterized that they made an unobtrusive and pleasing background for the whole. Two performances were given, one in the afternoon for the high school and grade students of the city, and another in the evening for the public. Page Seventy-nine - 557142 Prism THE SENIOR PLAY Given before the largest audience ever present at a high school pro- duction, the Senior play broke all box office records April 14. A Prince There Was, George Cohan's Broadway success, was the class of '31's presentation. Charles Martin, alias Mr. Prince, the hero who chose to live in- cognito in a cheap boarding house to escape a blase world, was played by jacob Katz, who is to be given credit for a convincing portrayal. The role of the heroine was given to Ruth Clark, who was delight- fully at ease in her part, a beautiful authoress, also living incognito. Martin Aho was a truly hearty and diplomatic jack Carruthers, life long friend of the hero, and james McCulloch as Bland, secured a reputation as a character delineator. The corpulent Mrs. Prouty, queen of her boarding house, was acted splendidly by Gladys Anderson, and her ultra modern daughter was represented by Gertrude Wiiikka. john Longyear as the pseudo de- tective gave a welcome comic relief. Jack Rough was supreme in his part as Cricket, and Irene VVallace was a lovable orphan. To the coaches, Mr. VVhitn1an and Mr. Denton, should go the credit for producing the most successful play given in the auditorium. Page Eighty ORATORY Since the institution of the Peter Wliite Foundation, interest in public speaking has been very keen in Marquette High, and the interest is growing every year. The number of participants in oratory and declamation has grown each year, until now a preliminary contest is necessary. juniors and Seniors of good scholastic standing are eligible to enter the oratory division of the contest. Each candidate prepares his ora- tion, and is judged both on composition and delivery. A regular system of contests is in effect throughout the state, ending with the state con- test. Winners appear consecutively in local, sub-district, district and state meets. The judges decided on the following order of prizes: ffLet Us Wage Peacei' .............................. Robert Clark The Iron Horse .............................. Robert Anderson 'KThe Twentieth Century Miracle ..,. Victoria Gingrass VVhat Price Peace ? ............................ John Longyear Robert Clark, representing Graveraet, took first place at the district contest, sponsored by Marquette High, which took place in the L. G. Kaufman auditorium. Page Eighty-one DECLAMATION The declaniatory contest offers an opportunity for lower classmen of good scholastic standing to gain valuable experience in speaking and in- terpretation. Since this contest division entails no composition, con- testants are graded entirely upon delivery. Prizes in this contest are the same as those of the senior, or oratory division: first, S9155 second, S5105 third, 357.550, and fourth, Sli5.00. A total of S575 is awarded each year to the winners of the contests by the Peter Wliite Foundation, which is administered by a board of directors. Following is the order of winning declamations: Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Deathn ..,..................... Willard Whitman I Am Innocent of This Blood ...,.. George Kendricks The Christ of the Andes .............. Gwendolyn Bryce The Minute Men .........,.................. Herbert Fletcher 'Willard Whitiiiaii, Marquette's entrant in the district contest in the L. G. Kaufman auditorium, was awarded second place. The inducement of the foundation established by the Honorable Peter Wliite insures a continued interest in public speaking. As a re- sult, Marquette has developed many fine speakers in past years, and she will continue to do so. Page E ighty-two 1-lif Qhe Prism EXTEMPURE SPEAKING Extempore speaking was offered at Graveraet for the second year, and the contest was held in the Kaufman auditorium April 17. But three entrants survived the training and participated in the final con- test. One half hour immediately before the contest, speakers prepare their talks, subjects having been chosen by lot. l-Because of its distinct value as an active medium for introducing the difficult task of thinking on one's feet, this branch of public speaking is coming into deserved popularity, and it is likely that it will take precedence over other forms of speech contests in a few years. The competing students were coached by Miss Helen Haapamaki, extension assistant majoring in speech at the University of Michigan. l-ler criticism and suggestions were valuable not only to the extempo- rizers, but also to the students in the class periods she attended. She judged the local contest, and gave the following decision for the plat- form: Red Cross and the National Treasury ....,,.,.,,,,i,,,,,, Robert Clark The Reign of Thompson ..........,....... john Longyear Muscle Shoalsl' ...........,........,..,.......,........ john Hager Marquette was host to the Upper Peninsula May 1. Robert Clark again won, and later represented Graveraet at the state meet in Kala- mazoo. Page Eighiy-three JUNIOR PRoM The Junior Prom of 1931, held in the Sidney Adams Gymnasium, maintained the high standard of that annual social event by being an unusually unique and delightful affair. A background of evergreens, flowers of varied hues, and decorative lattices provided a desired garden effect for the dancers. Swings, chairs, and benches, placed along the walls added to the atmosphere and were cozy places in which to sit. Gay Japanese lanterns suspended from a beautiful sky of Lake Superior blue which added romance and beauty to the scene, while lights twinkled amongst the greenery. Ex- cellent music was furnished by Tom Robinson's Merrymakers, a ten- piece orchestra. The feature of the evening was the grand march, a gay spectacle, with approximately one hundred seventy-five couples taking part. A dainty little miss in a garden frock and sunbonnet distributed flower boutonniers to the boys. The girls were presented with bright parasols by a lad in overalls and straw hat. Punch was served by three girls attired in summer dress, from a refreshment stand placed under a huge garden umbrella. This prom will go down in the history of Graveraet High School as an exceptionally artistic and enjoyable party. Its success was made possible by the co-operation of the class members, faculty, and towns- people. Page Eighty-four 1-----1 -Ohe Prism L --- L SENIOR HOP A little bit of Holland was transported across the sea and placed in the Sidney Adams Gymnasium when the Seniors entertained at the annual Hop, june 5. When the guests stepped into the gym through the door of a quaint Dutch windmill, dull existence was left behindifor a land of makebe- lieve. On one hand a typical street invited the dancers to stroll- gabled houses, with tulips before the doors and friendly lights in the windows. At one end of the common a huge windmill lazily turned its arms. Opposite the street a tulip studded dyke kept out the sea. Over the embankment one could catch a glimpse of tiled-roofs and topmost spars o-f ships. Lights gleamed from the gabled windows, and one could almost hear the booming of the surf against the security of the Wall. In front of one of the tiny cottages the Varsity Vagabonds played. After the grand march, which took the guests into the garden, favors- tulips, wooden shoes and windmills-were distributed by Hans and Gretchen. The sets were designed by Kaino Ojanen, a Senior art student. There is always intense rivalry between juniors and Seniors as to the merits of the respective class functions, and this year's dances will go down as two unusually lovely affairs. Page E ighty-five 1-+-'-2:1 567142 Prism COMMERCIAL CCNTEST Graveraet was represented by thirteen students of the commercial department, when the eleventh and last Shorthand and Typwriting Contest was held in Negaunee High School, May 2, 1931. In the shorthand events Graveraet entered Elma Makinen, Esther Backels, Margaret Dupras, Lottie Billings, Ruthilfloldig and Pauline Haines. E Marquette contestants in the typewriting division were Edwin Ern- stedt, Ruth Johnson, Vieno Lampi, Helen Lehto, Fannie Maki, Jean Miller and jean Penhaligon. First place in advanced dictation was taken by Elma Makinen. The typewriting team, which took fourth place, was the only Graveraet representative figuring in the win column in that section of the contest. Because the participating schools expressed themselves as holding the opinion that the noticeable results of the contest were not worth the time, effort and money expended, it was decided by the governing board that the animal shorthand and typewriting contest would be dis- continued. The Marquette County contest was begun in 1920, and Marquette, Negaunee and lshpeming have been hosts to the contests in successive years from that time. Grading was conducted according to the rules of the Michigan Shorthand and Typewriting Contest Association, head- ed by Mr. li. D. Pennell, of Vkfestern State Teachers Colleffe at Kalamazoo. 75 Page E ighty-six Page Eighty-seven - fghe Pr'ism JOURNALISM CLUB OFFICERS Editor-in-Chief ..............,...................

Mary Potter The scribes, organized for the promotion of interest in journalism, and for the purpose of editing and publishing the Graveraet Weelcly, have succeeded in establishing the subject on a firm footing. The Graveraet Weekly has gained an enviable reputation for a first year school publication. It is a four page, three column page paper, published every Tuesday of the school year, dedicated to a regular record of school news, sports, club activities, editorials, literary and special features. In addition to the first hand work on the Weekly, the club has made its program conform to its aims. Mrs. Manthei Howe, society editor of the Mining journal, addressed the club twice. and the journalists toured the Mining Journal plant. Discussion and criticism took up a part of each meeting. C It is the intention of the administration to make for closer cooperation between Prism and Graveraet Weekly and ul- timately combine the twoj. These pioneer writers have been under the direction of Miss Cather- ine Vlfilliams, head of the English department.

Miss Pratt, Miss Simpson A large membership and a number of successful activities have made the second year of the French organization one of achievement. The object of the club is to learn more about France, its people and its literature, and to gain a better understanding of spoken French. The programs were planned with the aims in the mind. Short skits in French, showing everyday situations, travel talks by members who have visited France, biographical sketches of prominent French- men, and a repertoire of French songs have been featured on them. L'Anglais tel qulon Le Par1e , a French comedy, presented by cast selected from the membership, a Christmas program and party, and a movie showing the beauties of France and the life of its people, at which the History Club was guest, were special activities. A very complete and original book of Marquette and Upper Michigan was made, and was sent to a school in France through the medium of the Junior Red Cross.

The beauty and simplicity of the Girl Reserve ritual instilled in the candidates the aims and code of the organization. Lunch and dancing followed the first meeting. During the winter the girls were active-attractive scrap books were made for the kiddies at the children's sanitorium, a sleigh ride and skiing party was held at Presque Isle and a mother-daughter tea was sponsored. The juniors also prepared a club book, and this project is already on its way to Greece. The crowning event was the annual Treasure Hunt, planned in co-operation with the Senior Club. Thus ended a successful and happy year. Witli the code, slogan and purpose in mind, in fun and work, the rich memories and associations gained will remain with the girls always.

Isabel Dolf The Girl Reserve organization has proven so popular among Gra- veraet girls, the group was divided of necessity into two sections-the juniors and Seniors into a Senior Club, and the lower classmen into a junior Club. Being one of the most active organizations in high school, its many projects necessitate various committees, and these committee chairmen are responsible for the routine of the program. Miss Hawks, Miss Simpson, and Miss Hogan are faculty advisers of the organization, and the sponsors are Mrs. W. M. Whitnian and Mrs. W. F. Morgan. The club was hostess to about fifty football men at a banquet on October 29, and sponsored a pep meeting. Other activities included in- itiations, candy and pantry sales, programs and matinee dances. Un- iformed Girl Reserves were ushers at all principal entertainments in the Kaufman auditorium. The girls joined the ranks of those who prepared club books, and the finished product was sent to Spain. United by the splendid code and purpose of the national organization, and by the unselfish aid of their advisers and sponsors, the Senior girl reserves have profited much in their work.

The club has been fortunate in being able to secure interesting and authoratative speakers. Mrs. Rogers addressed the group on Ghandi, a study of whom she had made her hobby. Mr. McGowan of the high school faculty spoke on the History of Science. The historians were host to the student body at an auditorium program at which Professor Chase, head of the history department of the Northern State Teachers College, had as his subject, K'The History of Upper Michiganf' A scrapbook of the land of Hiawatha, destined for Egypt, was coni- pleted by the group, and succeeded in arousing in the members an en- thusiasm for historical geography.

Marie high school football team played on the fair- greunds gridiron in the Season's Opener. Due to a weak line Marquette could nct StC1D the bulling straight football tactics of the veteran Sault boys. The visitors literally ripped the Marquette line to shreds at tinesg winning by a 19-0 score. Saturday, September 20, 1930 Newberry-Marquette A vastly improved Graveraet high school foetliall team ran rough- sliod over Newberry in the Luce county city to win, 25-0. In the second half the Newberry team appeared tired. A bad punt on Newberry's part during' this period gave Marquette the ball on Newberry's twenty yard line and paved the way for the third touchdown. The hnal gun inter- rupted what looked like a steady march for a fifth marker with the oval on the Newberry eight yard line. Page N inety-six Saturday, September 27, 1930 Ishpeming-Marquette In one of the most stubbornly contested give-and-take games staged on the fairground gridiron in years, Marquette nosed out Ishpeming, 7 to 6. Marquette in the first half had a wide edge on its opponents, outplay- ing the Hematites on offense and defense. In the second quarter, with a strong wind at their backs, the Mar- quette aggregation Went over the goal line. Point after the touchdown was made. V In the third quarter, just as the whistle blew, Ishpeming made their touchdown. The team today certainly did not resemble the one which two weeks ago bowed in defeat to the Sault Eleven. Saturday, October 4, 1930 Escanaba-Marquette Due to a new combination used by Coach Puckelwartz, Escanaba defeated Marquette 12-0. Marquette, playing hard, threatened to make a goal in the second period. An intercepted pass saved Escanaba in this instance. Sensational long punting and tackling by Bob Snyder and the return of Marquette kicks by Abel played a big part in the Escanaba victory. Saturday, October 11, 1930 Negaunee-Marquette Fighting and laboring under an early warm Autumn sun the Graveraet high were held scoreless by the crack N egaunee team. Using an air attack Negaunee gained a great deal of yardage and was able to score twice, taking the game 13-O. Katz and Paris were the ground- gainers for Marquette, while Rudness, Phillips and Holman were the big guns for Negaunee. The largest crowd for the season attended this game at the fairgrounds in Marquette. Saturday, Gctober 18, 1930 Gladstone-Marquette Braving a stiff, biting wind which swept across the gridiron at Gladstone, Gladstone gave Marquette its worst beating of the year, trouncing the Graveraets by a score of 39 to 0. Perfect functioning of the Gladstone forward wall, except for a time in the third period, aided by pretty ball carrying by Murray, accounted for the rout of the Mar- quette eleven. Marquette strengthened in the second half and held Gladstone scoreless, trying several passes but only completing one. A Page Ninety-seven fG7ie Prism - fumble by the Marquette punter paved the way for Gladstoneis final score. Saturday, October 25, 1930 Munising-Marquette Playing excellent football, the Marquette high school Rednien crossed Munising's goal line twice in the second quarter and won 13 to 6, over a weaker, but fighting Alger county team, on the fairgrounds gridiron. Marquette laid down a literal barrage of passes, completion of half of which would have made the score lop-sided. The Redmen's fullback, Katz, in the first half, gave an exhibition in line plunging which was a great credit to him. Captain Paris also tore loose in the first half, dashing off long gains on off-tackle slants, but he was stopped in the third and fourth quarters. Saturday, November 1, 1930 Menominee-Marquette Running up 26 points in the first half Menoniinee closed the football season for Marquette by a 32-7 score. The Graveraets came back in the second half, stiffened, and held. Late in the last quarter Menom- inee passed over the goal-line and Marquette took the ball. Remillard dropped back for the conventional punt, but instead of punting, he heaved the oval fifty yards to the waiting Versailles, who ran thirty more yards for a touchdown-the last one of the season. Page N inety-eight lf-T Ghe Prism 11-11-4- BASKETBALL Marquette opened the basketball season on Dec. 6, by suffering a 32-14 defeat at the hands of Crystal Falls. The boys were hardly a match for such a strong team as Crystal Falls showed themselves to be. On December 12, however, they more than evened accounts by up- setting the dopesters' predictions and defeating a strong Gladstone quin- tette, 18-12. Marquette displayed real class in this game, and won very handily. The next week Marquette lost to Iron Mountain by a one-point margin, the score being 21-20. Although our boys led during the first half, they slumped in the last stanza, which accounts for the defeat. Two days later, on December 19, Marquette came back again to defeat Wakefielcl, 20-16. This was a brilliant, very rough game, several men being sent to the showers on fouls. It was a hard-fought, interest- ing struggle, clearly indicative of our team's scrappiness. The following week Graveraet lost to Stambaugh, 30-15. Our boys scored only a single point in the first half, while their opponents gathered Page Ninety-nine fC'5he Prism in 15. Marquette's slow start in this game is responsible for the one- sided score, for the teams played on even terms in the final periods. On January 16, Marquette was again defeated by a strong Ishpeming team, a determined rally in the last quarter deciding the issue, 24-19. A third period slump, and a weakness at the free-throw line spelled defeat for us. Marquette's measure was taken once more by the Soo, although the teams were very well matched and the play was even. A heated over- time period was necessary to decide on the superiority of the two teams, 17-16. Continuing in their losing streak, our team lost, on January 23, to a smoothly-working, fast Negaunee five, to the tune of 39-29. Al- though the score was close at the half, the blue and white ran up an overwhelming number of points in the final periods. Breaking the long string of four successive defeats, Marquette humbled Gwinn on January 28, by the wide score of 28-12. At no time was the end in doubt, for the boys played a fine, fast game. Graveraet again came out on top by defeating Escanaba on January 30, by a score of 16-14. This victory was the happy result of an 11-point scoring spree in the first quarter, and, contrary to the usual practice, a marked efficiency at foul shots. Marquette won her third consecutive game at the expense of New- berry on February 6. Although the scoring was even for the first half, the team began to function in the last frame, and the game ended 26-12. On February 13, an unlucky Friday, Marquette completely turned the tables and restored everyone's confidence by turning back the dan- gerous Negaunee team, 20-18. The team showed themselves to be of tournament caliber in this game. Despite the fact that Negaunee held the lead at three-quarter time, our boys came through in fine style, giving us the most thrilling final period we have seen in some time. Marquette suffered a rather severe defeat at the hands of Ishpem- ing on February 18, losing by a 20-11 score. The first half was nip-and- tuck, but the second half was a spiritless, dull session. Our team lost another game to the Soo on February 20, being beat- en 22-20. This was the second defeat against the Soo this year, both Page One Hundred being by very close scores. If Marquette had garnered more points in the first half, which ended 15-5 for the Soo, we might have won. Marquette closed the season prior to the tournaments by winning over Munising, 23-17, on February 27. Although our boys were doped to win, Munising almost upset the bucket when they ended the first quarter with an 8-1 advantage. The last part of the game, however, was marked by the return to form of our team, and the score advanced steadily in our favor. Thus, with seven victories and eight defeats, a good season came to a close, and the team began to prepare for the District Tournament. Four Seniors had played their last game on the floor of the Adams gym: Katz, Aho, Paris, and Liimatainen. Graveraet will have three letter men back on the floor next year, however, in the persons of johnson, Larson, and Versailles. With this talent and experience, we trust Marquette will have an equally good season next winter. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Marquette entered the District Tournament with high hopes and great aspirations. The student body supported the team en masse, special trains and busses being chartered to convey the fans to the games. In the first game we saw our hopes blasted by a determined Ishpeming five. Fighting gamely, our team lost by a score of 18-12. The scoring was even in the last three periods, but the Hematites won by gaining six points in the first quarter. Marquette took this disap- pointing defeat very hard, for faith in the team's ability to win had been so strong that this game had the effect of a cold shower. In the consolation, the Soo once more triumphed over us, 31-20. All the heart seemed to have gone out of the team, due to losing their chance to appear in the Regional Tournament, and the game was listless and dull. In this manner the basketball season reached a close on what might be called a funeral note. Page One Hundred One fha Prism Page One Hundred Two ..- '-' 7-11- I , Q ...- UM 'Q-D P.
