How sweet its streamlet Murmurs in mine ear! —Wordsworth. Iu 1 !)()( plans for the building of our model mining town were completed and construction was begun. The natural beauty of the setting remained undisturbed, so that the town soon became noted for its picturesque scenery. ()ld settlers were proud of this “Garden S|x t of Michigan. All that was lacking was a modern school building. This was promptly erected in 1908. It was situated in the midst of a wide expanse of lawn that sloped to wooded groves of tall pines, elms, and birches on the banks of the winding east branch of the Escanaba river. The only addition which has been made to the structure since then is a wing which was built in 191n. 1 his is an indication of the cooperative attitude which the townspeople have always shown toward the school and its activities. Mr. and Mrs. C. G. White were the first superintendent and principal. Jane Pepin was the first and only student to graduate in 1!K)!I. Since then the following persons have filled the position of principal: Helen H. Law. Thomas IT Stitt. Jennie Trehilcock, I.awra Trebilcock. and Freda Earl (Mrs. Clayton Quavle). Mr. Leo MacDonald has proved a capable principal since 1921. Mr. A. M. Walsworth succeeded Mr. White as superintendent in 1914. He was followed by Mr. L. W. Stewart in 1915. Mr. Donald ()TIara has competently filled the position during the past nine years. All of the 195 former students who have graduated front our high school can justlv look back upon the days passed here as a happy time spent where golden friendships grew and where nature had laid her lovely hand.

Page Fifteen GWINNER SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Listen, my friends, and you shall hear The history of the class, graduating this year. On the fifth of September in Tvventv-five Hardly a student is now alive YVho has forgotten that great day and year. This class, filled with dreamers and flyers. Chose as its motto, Going Higher; And in this age of aeroplane steeds, The green aviators began pranks and deeds. Being concerned with little but feeds, A picnic and party sufficed our needs. As we flew on throughout the strenuous grind, A few of our classmates fell far behind. With a nose-dive we entered Sophomoredom, At this elevation things began to hum. The dance we gave was a gala affair And our studious habits were something rare. To display talent, we began our labors With two plays, “Spreading the News, and The Neighbors.' To end the year, was a picnic at Lake Bass. Then, loop-the-loop to the Junior Class! As we soared to these higher altitudes, Much more elevating became our moods. We sky wrote our fame with the play—“Under Twenty, The heroine of which was Isabel Zenti. A tail spin landed us kerflop in a cloud, Scattering snowflakes to make us proud Of our Prom decorations, and with pine trees green Amongst the dancers, joy reigned supreme. Our trial flights over, we soared to the heights And became the bright and shining Senior lights. With our superior learning we edited the Gwinner, Which we must confess is a prize-winner. To prove dramatic talent, the final test, Our class play. Kempy . met with great zest. Weary of labors. Skip Day provided a jaunt. And we wandered off. the clouds to haunt. ()ur days of trial flights having passed. We must take off from G. 11. S. at last, And enter Life's sky to make records, as flyers. To fulfill our class motto, “Going Higher.” Page Sixteen GWINNER SALUTATORY DOROTHY ROBERTS We, the class of '2!), welcome von. friends, parents and faculty, to our com- mencement exercises. 1 onight we assemble for the last time as a class. Under the direction and training of our parents and teachers we have been in preparation for the coming attack on life. We arc in a position similar to the famous 10th legion, attacked and compelled to fight without the leadership of Caesar. I bis legion was a divi- sion of the Roman army which was especially favored, because of its fighting skill and great courage, by the great general-in-chief, Julius Caesar. The story goes that while the legion was fortifying its camp and were unprepared for battle, the enemy attacked suddenly and there were scarcely ten minutes at hand in which to hoist the red battle-ensign, to trumpet the soldiers from their work on the fortifica- tions. to encourage the fighters and to give the signal for battle. The officers were obliged to act without orders from Caesar. All that could be done was to make each legion attack its immediate assailants. The soldiers instinctively grasped the situation and fell into the ranks of the standards nearest them. Hurling its javelins, the 10th legion rushed on, sword in hand, upon the advancing, parting enemy, who soon gave way. Thus, within an hour, the fight- a soldiers’ battle— was lost and won. There were two qualities that Caesar stressed in the training of his soldiers. These were courage and intelligence. Courage was brought to this battle, courage such as Caesar had told them of when encouraging the legion by accounts of heroic deeds performed in former battles. Inspired by these glorious deeds, the legion resolved to fight its hardest, llis favorite soldiers admired Caesar and were elated when they were lauded by him. Courage had won for these storied heroes and courage would win for the 10th legion. Secondly. Caesar stressed intelligence, for a heart without a brain does not bring a certain victory. I'.ach soldier had been trained and brought with him into the battle a knowledge of the fight, a skill of attack and sagacity of plan. Caesar believed that an intelligent direction added to courage would bring assurance of victory. There was one arrangement of troops that Caesar particularily favored: his most tried men were placed in the foremost ranks and the recruits in the rear. The veterans’ deeds pointed the way for the admiring and imitating rear-guard. Aspir- ing youths were promoted and were finally ranked in the shining front line as their skill and ability became evident. The Senior class, eleven strong, also are soldiers who will have unexpected attacks to overcome and sudden foes to conquer. Tonight we find them at the rear, Page Seventeen GWINNER impatient and eager to be advanced to the front line where the heroes, the veterans of modern life—men skilled in law, science, medicine and engineering—are sta- tioned. liut a wide breach intervenes that can only be bridged by courage and in- telligent understanding before the front line may be reached. The legion of '2!). like the 10th legion, has been in training under its Caesars— at home and at school. They have been taught bow to be courageous, trustworthy, dependable and how to organize definite and efficient plans of attack. Now we must go on without Caesars. As the 10th legion won the battle, so we hope that the legion of '20 may also be victorious, and for the discipline re- ceived under its Caesars, the legion of '20 expresses its appreciation. In behalf of the class of 1020. L again bid you welcome. VALEDICTORY EVELYN LEHMAN In this competitive age when men and women are striving for supremacy, even possible advantage is seized and capitalized. Exterior appearance, exterior manners, and exterior comeliness are having their day. I he advertisements in any magazine indicate clearly the great interest taken in personal apjiearance in charm : the charm of the skin you love to touch, the charm of sparkling white teeth, the charm of manners, and of dress. Iieauty has become a basic industry. In this age of travel and increased opportunity, we realize that outward show, the ability to present a favorable first impression, counts, for momentary contacts made in the most casual ways sometimes have great results and influence on out futures. The rich have always cultivated their appearances, but now the poor, even the Undeserving I’oor . as Aldous Huxley says, can do the same. On every page we find soaps, skin-foods, hand lotions, powders, machines that massage and exercise—evervthing that could in any way add to personal attractiveness. 1 o be considered well-dressed now vou must be absolutely finished in every detail, from the well marcelled hair to the tips ol the polished finger nails. There is something more important to exterior beauty than the choice of the correct perfume, the cut of the hair, sun backed dresses, or the latest in powders of sunburn shades: something that is of the utmost importance in forming other’s judgments and opinions of oneself, and yet. is often overlooked: that is out speech. The manner in which we speak is something which cannot be hidden under carefully put on makeup or suddenly massaged into shape. It is the index finger which points to the inner man and yet its cultivation is usually forgotten. Page Eighteen GWINNER Whenever we speak we convey our thoughts, attitudes, and feelings, and speech is one of the surest manifestations of our true personalities. When the “frogs” of poor speech hop from our lips, exterior beauty and at- tractiveness amount to little. English punctuated with “you knowthought poorly expressed, blushing with poor pronunciation, halted by lack of vocabulary, crippled by bad grammar, and buried by profuse dullness weighs heavily in the balance against all other outer polish. The ability to express oneself well is important in everyday life—in every form of work. This is well illustrated by the fact that commercial firms are be- ginning to organize classes in speech where the ambitious employee for his own advancement may train himself to lx- capable of interviewing prospective buyers, of addressing business groups, of speaking with cultured moneyed men in behalf of the firm. In this great commercial age we are too busy to listen to any aimless prattle. It is he who can express his ideas clearly and concretely who will be listened to. the man who can say exactly what he means as vividly and briefly as possible. We are advancing to the standards of the ancient (Irecks who realized the importance of public address. Their orators were trained diligently : their scholars were skilled in the act of expressing themselves with ease and beauty. The English language is the most flexible in the world. We have contributions from so many nationalities that our language has become one capable of deep coloring and of finely shaded meaning—easy to be beautifully molded for every occasion, intelligence, and rank. The Americans have long been criticized for their extreme carelessness in speech. Xo other people pay as little attention to how they speak as we do. Everyday and everyday we turn on the radio and hear expressed thoughts from every corner of the nation. Poor speech becomes an ear sore; repeated slang be- comes witless. The world will tune in on the best. Radio will meet this demand : radio will key our ears for the best, the fluent, the beautiful, the new. the well worded. Vitaphone and movietone also have aroused new interest in speech. It is not enough now to possess a lovely face and figure to be a success at I lolly wood : one must also have a soft, mellow voice that can rise or fall to any range of passion, a voice that responds as the violin to the bow. These inventions are certain to influence our speech. Our natural imitative- ness will lead us to speak as these romantic public entertainers do. Aside from the fact that the vernacular of two-gun Hill in “The l’order Range may cause little William to shock his mother by some apt imitation, and little sister Sue to develop- ing a drawl which she thinks is a reproduction of that of her favorite star, the movietone will undoubtedly influence our speech for the better. (Continued on page 21) Page Nineteen GWINNER CLASS PROPHECY MARS 1939 The following is an extract told bv two aviators who visited Mars: Evelyn Lehman—-President of the Three V’s Society ,—Vim, Vigor, and Vi- tality. Dorothy Roberts—Head of the ad astra per aspera correspondence school. For her recreation she spends her week ends visiting the various planets. Ray Ruotsala A politician with staunch beliefs in high protective tariff. He is publishing an illustrated edition, the title of which is, How to Eat With Your Fingers.” Dorothy Johnson was very busy when we saw her. She was wearing a pair of coveralls and was beginning to grease the Quickland Slide which she has had erected as a comfortable and convenient method of transportation between Mars and America. Donald Krieg—An artist. 11 is specialty is painting spots on the rainbow trout. ()ne of his great masterpieces was the repainting of the Milky Way. Ann Martin—Her chief interest is in singing. 1 ler songs make the stars twinkle. She sings the Mars (Hants to sleep and their snoring causes thunder to be heard on earth. Harry Knudsen- Recently received an honorary title, Sir Handemaline. from the German Government. His fame is widespread. 1 le is now engaged by the society women of Mars to carry on their correspondence which deals with affairs of the heart. He is very successful. Jessie Bath runs a sanitarium for the love-lorn. Through cooperation, though it isn't known to many. I larry knocks ’em cold with some of his letters and Jessie takes ’em in for treatment. Jessie and Harry are doing very well. Ray La Fave is now lx‘tter known as “Comet,” Coach of the Mars basketball Team which won the championship from the Big Dipper Five, played in the bowl. Venus, very envious of his success, has challenged his title and the match will last all week. Isabelle Zend—Famous soloist in St. Mark’s Cathedral remarked that she was very much indebted to her architect husband for installing shower baths for the soloists. Leslie Peterson is one of the most well paid and popular social companions. His particular specialty is dancing lessons for dowager ladies of uncertain years.

Ix-slie—Girls! Isabelle—The “Eyes” have It VALEDICTORY (Continued from page 19) The easiest place to acquire the ability to speak well is in the high school. William James in his essay on Habits says, “The period below twenty is im- portant for the fixing of personal habits such as vocalization and pronunciation, gesture, motion, and address. Al no other time are such great opportunities of- fered : at no other time is one as able to learn the lesson or is such encouragement given to the beginner. 11 ere. in the high school, you are among friends who proba- ble have the same horror you have of facing a crowd; here, the teachers are anxious to cooperate with you. In later life it is much more difficult: one is expected as a matter of course, to speak intelligently and fluently. Therefore, everv ambitious student should avail himself of the opportunities offered in high school to become an easy, poised speaker in order that he may be better prepared to meet the future in which facility of expression is an accomplish- ment that shall measure him and be a most important quality of this coveted ex- ternal attractiveness.

I'ndaunted, they began their plans. Two members did much to maintain that Junior prominence by winning honors in debate. ()ther members have upheld that prominence by participation in I lee Clubs. Orchestra and the Basketball Team. Some have won honorary medals in commercial subjects and the class has a high standard in scholastic activities. The play. Mr. Lazarus. a hilarious comedy, under the direction of Miss Button, scored a tremendous success. Then came the crowning glory of the year, the Prom: a moonlit night in an old fashioned garden, that was taken possession of by a band of gay, spritely fairies, who danced away the hours and with the first peep of dawn, vanished. Although the Juniors were almost overwhelmed with work, they are not sub- dued. and hope to continue as successfully in their Senior year.

Their Freshman year had been a modest and retiring one. This year promised more definite aims and the Sophomores strove for a greater success and a more real accomplishment. The Sophomore class played an active part in the life of our school, furnishing five athletes for the basketball teams that have helped to bring honors to our school. Members for the dee Clubs. Stageland. Orchestra, and (Iwinner Staff also have been recruited front the Sophomore ranks. The greatest achievement of the year was the snappy class party to which the entire I ligh School was invited. Snap. (tptimism. Pep, and I lilarity are the quali- ties of Sophomore social events.

Page Thirty FRESHMEN GWINNER CLASS HISTORY Motto—“Green but still growing. 1'he Freshmen of 1932. under the direction of Mr. Pepin, began their first high school year with long drawn and serious faces. They did not know yet what was expected of them and didn't dare to express themselves. There were thirty-two of them in all. They began their work with the idea of winning in the end. As the first semester came to a close they gathered their courage and showed their spirit and ability first, by helping the Sophomores entertain at a party. During the year the Freshmen had furnished the school with basketball players and with members for the High School orchestra, so little by little their self-con- fidence returned. Their highest triumph was achieved when they presented a program in the assembly. Everyone was surprised at the success of the program. No one suspected the Freshmen of having so many talented people, not even the members of the class themselves. They now feel that they have won some success in their first year and believe that they have earned a place in the High School. CLASS OFFICERS President.............. Vice-President ........

The seventh graders were quite nervous and a bit unruly during their first few days in the assembly, but they soon followed the example of the experienced eighth graders and settled down. At their first class meeting in November, the eighth graders elected officers for the year. Victor Carlson was elected president: John Dclangelo, vice-president; Henry Krieg, secretary, and Hilly Hvtinen, treasurer. The Junior High Gwinner staff was organized with Hud Miller as editor. The Junior High was all set for a banner year. liotb seventh and eighth graders proved to be very capable entertainers: it took National Education Week to discover what kind of orators we have in Junior High. The plays, Mrs. Santa Comes Into Her Own and An Irish Alibi , showed how entertaining a seventh grader can be. In the Easter play, Easter a la Hunny. the eighth grade girls proved that they arc sweet and old fashioned. The Junior High Chorus was organized this year by Mr. Acles. From what the Junior High has already done, we gather that the future high school glee clubs will not be surpassed. In the tournament which closed the Junior 1 ligh Hasketball season, the V ol- verines and the “llulldogs came out champions. With the introduction of contracts in March, everyone got spring fever and a pain in the cervical vertebrae. After final exams school closed. We needed a long deserved rest. Here's wishing the coming seventh grade unlimited success, and the future eighth grade undaunted courage. We trust that next year's brush will be capable of taking care of themselves. Page Thirty-eight ATHLETICS -GWINNER THE NOW AND THEN OF BASKETBALL COACH E. L. MILLER Advocate of good sportsmanship, who has in- spired us to fight hard and play square in the game of Life as well as in Basketball up together in one melee of fighting way out.” Long time ago when our fathers played on basketball teams, the game was very dif- ferent from the game of to- day ! We enter some town gym- nasium and the sounds that greet 11s are, “Kill the ref- eree !” “Throw ’em out ! ’ The bleachers hold a madhouse crowd. ()n the floor, acting as referee, is the coach of the now winning team—victory is a surety. The half ends and the squad is again on the floor. We see a new referee. How does that happen? Has the referee actually been slain? Xo indeed! The coach of the other team is now judge. Victory for team num- ber two seems imminent. ()ur interest now turns to the players. There are men of all ages from 15 to 25; tall men, agile boys, brawny men, scrawny boys, are all mixed The eligibility rule is “Fight your own Xow the scene changes and we enter a modern High School gym. The team comes out! The crowd rises, and organized yells, led by chosen leaders, are given for both teams. The coach gives a last minute encouragement to his team and takes his place on the side lines to merely observe and substitute players until the half, when he again goes into conference with the team concerning its weaker plays. I'lie referee is a licensed man and is introduced to both squads before the game. The courtesy of the sport is already apparent. Xow the game begins— skilled trained players are fighting fairly. Two-thirds of the crowd are high school people, giving excited but controlled support. Eligibility rules are evident, for there is no boy on the floor over 20 years of age and, therefore, physically the players are more nearly equal in strength. Playing is heady and these are boys who are able to keep up their scholastic records. Star playing is discouraged and the united playing of the team indicates the skilled coaching it receives. The game is ended and each team gets together to yell for its opponent, regardless of the outcome. Today basketball is a game played by intelligent fellows who live up to .eligi- bility rules of the state and by fellows who can light for their school and still light squarely.

BASKETBALL TEAM Although not always victorious, this year's Basketball team laid a foundation upon which Gwinn hopes to again build a championship team. With one excep- tion, the players were entirely underclassmen from Sophomore and Junior groups. Their playing shows promise of future skill. The only Senior, Raymond LaFave. playing his last year for Gwinn High, was the pivot man of the team ; when the going was the toughest he was playing his hardest. Bob Martin, a Junior, playing his first year as a regular, showed speed and jumping ability that was hard to equal. The three Sophomores were: Glenn Foress, invaluable on the team for his clever handling of the ball: John Piziali. who, as was predicted, made a name for himself and much is expected of him in the next two years; and Lric Engman. who continues to smile and shine as a guard. The second team was composed of Freshmen and Sophomores who were able but were not vet sufficiently developed to endure first team batter. I he year lias been successful, for in our athletic laboratory we are disciplining quality which is backed bv iwinn fans. Page Forty-one GWINNER C’mon, ORANGE! C’mon, BLACK! C’mon, GYVIN'. ! ATTACK! ! Esther Maunula was elected as the Senior High cheerleader for this year. She proved to be a very peppy and suc- cessful leader. Improvements were in- stituted. New yells, better yell tech- nique, and a High School clap were in- troduced. We feel that the position was capably and excellently filled. SKY ROCKET S-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s-s Boom.....m.....m Ah................ (Clap) GYVINX! As a Junior High cheerleader Marion Blomquist has been one of the best. Through the successful cooper- ation of their leader, the Junior High has proved their loyalty and we know they will furnish good material for future high school cheerleaders. TOURNAMENT This year Gwinn was eliminated in their first game of the District Tourna- ment by Michigamme. The game was one of the most exciting ever witnessed bv Gwinn fans and it was contested in the gym of the Marquette High School. Will we ever forget that bus ride up to the game? It's impossible. Nor will we forget the crowd that turned out for the game and the enthusiasm shown for our team. Hie game was very close for three quarters and the score was a tie at the half. The Gwinn squad led by a few points after the half and it was then that we were confident of winning. However, our opponents were strengthened and the game ended 114-21 in their favor. Nevertheless we felt that our team had shown their loyalty and the crowd had backed the team to the last play.

Mr. MacDonald, the coach, selected among the boys that were interested, the following teams: Wolves, Ramblers, Bulldogs. I.. S. I.. Wildcats, and the Rangers. In the tournament at the end of the season the Wolves, a ferocious team, were eliminated by the Ramblers, a rambling team, in the first game, and the L. S. I. (lazy, slow, and independent) were eliminated by the Bulldogs, a team that never lets go. In the next series of games in the tournament, the Ramblers ceased rambling and lost to the Bulldogs, while the W ildcats lost to the Rangers. The Wildcats and the Rangers drew the bye and did not play in the first series of games. In the championship game the Bulldogs won over the Rangers with a score of twenty-four to thirteen. The Wolves won the Senior Basketball League Cup because they won the most number of games during the basketball season. The basketball year was a successful and interesting one for the League. This organized sport within the school has helped to encourage and find ability among the students for players on the regular basketball team—besides teaching what good sportsmanship is, and helping to develop healthful play. WINTER CARNIVAL A winter carnival was introduced for the first time in Marquette County this year. There was competition in skating, ski riding, racing and other winter sports. If the affair proved a success, it was to be held as an annual fete. Any school in Marquette County could compete. The Gwinn High School was represented by the following students: the girls were Helen Blomquist. Ann Martin, Phyllis Atwell, and Marie Mathews; the boys were Raymond La Pave. John Lehman, Truman Atwell, Everett Roos, and Bertram Racine. Gwinn re- ceived second place in the contest. Because of the success of this event, the carnival is to be given annually. Page Forty-three GWINNER Page Forty-four ACTIVITIES GWINNER AUTUMN DANCE The Stagdand and the Speech Club Autumn dancing party was the gala affair of the year. Autumn leaves were picturesquely placed around the gymnasium with a leafv S setting off the stage. The leaves of Autumn dance no more merrily than that evening's crowd, blown about by the wind of the Bianchi Brothers' playing. SENIOR DANCE On January 25, 19211. the Seniors gave a dance in a manner befitting the exalted position and reputation of the class of '29. Music was furnished by the Bianchi Brothers. Eleven colored lights, one for each member in the Senior Class, decorated the gym. Dimly lighted ?—but then we know how Seniors shine. SOPH. AND FROSH. PARTY On the night of November 4. 1928, the Freshies and Sophs united as one and gave a snappy party at the club. The 11. S. Orchestra conducted the “Under classmen’s romp. STAGELAND INDIAN HOP The Stagdand gave an Indian War Dance April 19th. with music by the Xylanders'. There were Indian blankets, pine houghs, and wigwams for decora- tions. and novel moccasin , robber, and whistle dances. Favors were Indian head-bands. There were loud whoops of dismay when at 11 :()0 o’clock the maidens and warriors departed for their wigwams. SOPHOMORE HOP No parties for such a long, long time, and then the Sophomores, who are up and coming, gave a punching good time to the entire student Ixxly on May 10, 1929. Spring in the air and a spring in our steps, that was the Sophomore Hop. Page Forty-six GWINNER JUNIOR PROM I'll meet you by the garden-gate At half-past eight! And true to this old familiar rhyme, a number of happy sweethearts delight- edly entered the quaint, old-fashioned garden where hollyhocks clambered on white trellises, that stood 'mid pine bought 'neath a sky of blue. There, in the soft glow of many luted lamps, they heard the appeal of A1 Gustafson's Rhythm Kings and danced with the pleasure of being. While in a flower-covered bower many a lady and many a beau sipped sweet nectar. In such a romantic setting, how could one help having a lovely time! No wonder that the partings at midnight were reluctant—though sweet. SOCIAL CALENDAR Sept. 4—Last of vacation, school begins. From Freshmen up to Seniors, We all step in.

Under the excellent coaching of .Miss Morris, the team composed of Esther Maunula. Evelyn Lehman, and Margaret Koski, returning victorious from three elimination contests, found itself one of the two contestants remaining out of the twenty-three enrolled in the Upper Peninsula League. The final debate was a glorious defeat to Ishpeming with a close decision of two to one. The members of the team won a handsome debate shield for the school and received, in recognition of their splendid work, debate pins and school letters. Fage Forty-nine GWINNER Page Fifty DRAMA GWINNER SENIOR PLAY “KEMPY” ()h, these women! When they get what they want they don't want it. Kate lienee was just that type and cost her poor father plenty of money and worry. Whenever she conceived any new ideas (and these were greater in quantity than quality), she always managed to carry them out. “Kempv James, a very young plumber-architect (learning the art of architecture from the pipes up).seemed to be made of the same stuff, for, having read Kate’s one and only novel, he had been given an inspiration for building a church with shower-balls for the choir-singers (another brilliant idea!) and he had sworn to marry the authoress of the book. Kate was willing, so they ran off to the court house and were declared man and wife. Result? The entire Hence household was in a turmoil, for the family had made definite plans for Kate's marrying the wealthy Duke Merrill, whom she had once previously rejected. Moreover. Kate's younger sister, Ruth, and Kempv were head over heels in love with each other. So what was there to do but have the marriage annulled? Because the family wished it? Oh, no—Kate had another idea that she didn’t care for Kempv as much as she thought she did, hut that she really and truly loved Duke , for to him she was the one and only. At last she had a real idea, for it was a binding one which tied her and Duke for keeps ' with a wedding ring. CAST Kempv James Katherine Bence Duke Merrill Dad Bence .... Ruth Bence ....

By Himself Page Fifty-two GWINNER JUNIOR PLAY MR. LAZARUS What a position to he in! A woman with two husbands. Which one is law- fullv hers? Mrs. Sylvester, a plump, harassed woman, married Dr. Sylvester, a bewhiskered blustering fellow, after her husband had disappeared in a railroad ac- cident. She supported her novelist-doctor husband and his most supercilious daughter with her lost husband's insurance money. One night, a wealthy stranger, Mr. Lazarus, came to the Sylvester hotel and was given the haunted room. It had formerly been occupied by William Booth, a flaming haired, handsome artist more interested in Mrs. Sylvester's daughter, Pat. a winsome, lovely girl, than painting. Pat, exasperated by the grasping tendencies of the doctor and the insufferable superiority of Edith, confides her troubles to Mr. Lazarus, who in a sudden burst of sympathy declares himself to be her father. Mrs. Sylvester is overjoyed, be- cause if Mr. Lazarus is her husband, then the doctor isn't. The crafty doctor cools her rapture by saying she may he sued for the use of her husband's insur- ance money and demands proof that Mr. Lazarus is her husband. Eagerly she points out his motto: Never Say Die, and the fact that he sleeps on the floor. Mr. Lazarus, however, declares the motto was on a ring given him by her hus- band and that many people sleep on the floor. Yet. she persisted, he wouldn t have come to her hotel if he hadn't been her husband. But then he had called her Jane instead of Mary. The doctor, convinced that he was the superflous hus- band. quietly made his exit. Mr. Lazarus is now the lawful head of the family. Pat, after several whis- perings in her ear. was convinced of Booth's love: they were blissfully engaged. But peace was short lived: provoked because his wife insisted that he attend church and discontinue smoking. Mr. Lazarus went to his room. Soon afterward a letter was found on the doorstep which said. Flic dead cannot come back. Well, exclaimed Pat. Was he or wasn't he my father?” CAST: Dr. Sylvester.......................................John Lehman Mrs. Sylvester....................................Frances Sarasin Kdith ............................................Esther Maunula Mr. Lazarus ........................................Edward Hart Patricia Molloy ..................................Margaret Koski Page Fifty-three GWINNER OUR AUNT FROM CALIFORNIA “Hence vain deluding joys, Hail divinest Melancholy.-' Serious minded Felicia (Donald Krieg) found much pleasure in weeping over these sad lines from Milton. Lazy Rosalie (Clyde Hath) found her joy in loung- ing and discussing fashions and lunch. Then the rich aunt from California ar- rives. The girl who made the best impression on the aunt was promised a trip to Europe with her the following year. Both girls went to extremes in their attempts to entertain Aunty. Felicia went about reciting jokes and even sang That's My Weakness Now in the most melting tones, while bashful Rosalie was forced to dance the Kangaroo Hop until the chandeliers rattled. An unaccounted for dress- maker (Carlyle Roberts) was announced, followed by another soon after. A merry muddle arose and the girls were about to call the police when Mrs. Needy (Crow LaFave) arrived and identified the first dressmaker (Truman Atwell) as the real aunt from California. The person who had claimed to be the aunt from California proved to be theatrical Sally (Leslie Peterson), who had been playing a joke on her sisters. This clever impersonation won for Sally, the promised trip to Europe. The fit of the costumes on the boys and the graceful ladylike quality of their manners, for example those of the maid ( Bertram Racine) did much toward making this a side splitting enjoyable play. SAUCE FOR THE GOSLINGS “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander; why not sauce for the goslings, too?'’ So thought Martha Lee (Esther Maunula). Her grandchildrens' use of slang had shocked their parents long enough. Grandmother set to work and formed a plot to humiliate them in front of an important friend. Jimmy Ward (Russel Morgan), a Varsity man and popular college friend of Robert (Brideson Wills). That evening it was Elizabeth's (Isabel enti) and Robert's turn to be shocked. All their old slang expressions were flung back to them. It was almost too much for both children to hear their father (Raymond LaFave) and mother (Evelyn Lehman) using vulgar slang, and their aged grandmother flirting most shamelessly and chattering on incessantly about -Ramon Xovarro and Greta Garbo. At last Elizbaeth left the room. Robert, thoroughly exasperated, stood up and asked for an explanation. Apologies followed and so it was proved: “What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and sauce for the goslings, too.

The majority of the members were beginners last year and they have made ex- cellent progress this year, under the direction of Mr. Acles. At the dances given after the basketball games, they were always rewarded by large crowds. 'They have played for Friday morning programs and for all high school plays. Their willingness to play has done much to make high school entertainments a success. The aim of orchestra instruction has been to develop in every member an understanding of the contribution made by every instrument and to teach the meaning of harmony in a group as well as in music. The enthusiasm with which orchestra playing and orchestra concerts have met, is instance of the interest and enjoyment that the orchestra gives to its hearers. Violins: Agnes Beckman.

Page Fifty-seven GWINNER STAGELAND Encouraged by the triumph of the last year, Stageland began their second year as an organization of Gwinn High School with much enthusiasm. At their first meeting they elected officers as follows: President ........................................Margaret Koski Vice-President .......................................Ann Martin Secretary-Treasurer ................................Jessie Bath Then tryouts were held to restore the full quota stated in their constitution. The large number who tried out and high type of work done, indicates the com- petition among the girls for the honor of Stageland membership. The judges were Miss Levy, Miss Ilecker, and Miss Wilde. Then came pledge week! This can be remembered by the plain clothes, shiny noses, and the slave-like attitude of the pledges. The night of initiation. September 25, was one of mystery, horror, but most of all, fun, and one those girls will never forget. Then the real career of Stageland began with a Hop; the Boys' Speech Club also acting as hosts. On October 25, Stageland again, with the Boys' Speech Club, gave two plays, “Our Aunt from California”, and “Sauce for the Gosslings”. These were an eminent success and money taken in was given by Stageland to the curtain fund. There was an interlude in which Miss Morris, the director of Stageland, was busy with debate coaching. The next meeting. March 1!). was a social gathering. At this reunion of merry girls, card games were played and in this way many of the choice secrets of the girls were discovered. Other enjoyable occasions followed. There were two candy sales: one. on March 18. and the other on April 12, to obtain money for a week-end partv. glorious Hop was given on April 1!). A joint program was given with the Glee Clubs and Orchestra for the purpose of raising money for Stageland's picture for the annual. Then as a fitting close to such a delightful year, came the joy of all joys, the week-end party at Bass Lake.

As each member was entitled to a quarter credit for participation, the enrollment increased. Mr. Acles, the instructor, made definite plans for vocal training. The voice must be exercised by vocalizing and trained to sing vowels and words correctly and clearly. W ith the learning of in- dividual parts must also come the interpretation and expression of the song. The importance of group singing with balance and harmony rather than solo singing was especially stressed. After a month of strenuous training, the girls made their first appearance on the Educational Week Program. They also sang several delightful selections for the Sault Ste. Marie debate, the Senior Play, and the joint program given by the (ilee Clubs. Stagehand, and the ()rchestra. Music has taken on a meaning for the girls this year both through voice training and the mental understanding of all that music can mean and be. Page Sixty GWINNER BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Starting the year with a determination to win another cup at the Upper Pen- insula Music Contest, the Hoys' Glee Club began work under the direction of Mr. Acles. Their singing has shown a marked improvement over that of last year. They have made three successful public appearances during the course of the year, besides taking part in the annual musicale. Ihe aim of this year s club has been to establish an understanding of group singing and to teach the boys that team work in group singing is as necessary as team work in sport.

This honorary organization not only cultivates singing in unison, but also the blending of mixed voices.
