I:N choosing our new name, The Hartian (pronunced Har'-shun), considerable time and thought was given to the subjetf. We feel that we should give our apologies to the Senior Class of Nineteen Fifteen for not continuing the name which they chose. However, it was thought be£t to use a name which would apply dire 5tly to the school publishing the annual. So we chose The Hartian. For this name we give our thanks to Mr. Savage. We think that this name applies diredtly to the school and we hope that in the future, if other annuals are printed, The Hartian will adorn the cover. THE HART1AN STAFF WILLARD GEBHART.

The County Normal School makes it a business to train teachers for the rural school. It offers a course of training which extends over one year, giving thorough instruction in the common branches and in professional studies. In addition, the students are given considerable practice in teaching classes under the supervision of an experienced teacher. A person who completes the County Normal course satisfactorily is granted a county normal certificate which qualifies the holder to teach in any rural school of the county for a period of three years. At the end of that time if the person has proven a successful teacher, the certificate will be renewed for a period of three years, if, in the meantime, the holder has completed a course of study of twelve weeks, all of which must be in advance of the work done in the County Normal. A county normal certificate, therefore. is practically good for nine years. A county normal graduate who is also a graduate of a high school may complete the work for a life certificate at a state normal school in one year and one summer. A county normal graduate who is also a high school graduate will receive credit to the extent of twelve hours on entering the University of Michigan. The educational world is turning its attention to the problem of rural education. There are great opportunities ahead for those who take up this work and qualify themselves now by proper training. The rural schools of Michigan are paying better wages every year and there is always a demand for good rural teachers. Prospective teachers will find it to their advantage to attend the County Normal. Young people may often remain at home and receive one year of advanced training and thus avoid the extra expense of attending higher institutions of learning far away. ‘age twenty-eight S. P. SAVAGE.

CLYDE SCHILHANECK Tlnney, the fast, elusive little forward, with the knack of lo: ing his man and his accuracy in basket shooting, was a large factor in the success of the team this year, and he will be much missed on next year’s team. ELDON SIMPSON Sim is all over the floor at once, guarding his own man and all the others, and making baskets between times when they arc most needed. Although light for center he has held his own against his heavier opponents. parson McMillan Ki played a close, scrappy game at guard, but the lack cf experience kept him on the sub list. He could always be depended upon to be out to practice, and he will add much to next year's team. .

But by the faithful work of Coach Savage and the co-operation of the boys. Hart put forth one of the fastest teams in the High School’s history. The first game was played with the Alumni, Jan. 3. The absence of two of the players, out on account of sickness, and the sub’s lack of experience, proved fatal to Hart. They were defeated 37-17. A week later Hart played the same fellows but they were under the name of “The All Stars.” This time, with all of the players back, Hart made a different showing and easily defeated them 40-15. Jan. 17. the load team played their first out of town game. After a twenty-eight mile sleigh ride, they defeated Hesperia 49-21. On Jan. 24 the Basket Ball fans were given the best treat in years, when the local quintette met Grand Rapids Central here. The game started with a rush and continued so through-out. It was hard to tell which team was in the lead during the game, for one would be ahead and then the other. At the end of the first half the score was 13-12, favoring the visitors. The last half was hard played, but on account of poor passing and lack of luck in basket shooting Grand Rapids got the lead in the last few minutes and the game ended 25-19, in their favor. A very large crowd witnessed the game and the rooters gave the team splendid support. The following week the boys journeyed to the Furniture City and were defeated by a large margin. The next week the team defeated Hesperia. On Feb. 14, Hart defeated their old rivals, Fremont, here, 49-24. This is the third time on record that Hal t has defeated Fremont. Two weeks later the local basket tossers beat a team composed of men back from the army, who thought themselves invincible. On March 5, Hart defeated Pentwater. Then a week later Hart defeated them again on the home floor. On March 14, the local team went to Fremont to play the last game scheduled for this season. It was a hard Page thirty two r 1 Hlaskrt iBall I j__________________________________________________________________________ I lought game and it was no discredit for the team to l e beaten. CLASS GAMES There was a series of class games played this year between the four classes of High School. These games were fast and hard fought for there was to be a pennant given to the winning team. The teams were made up of boys that did not play on the High School team. The way the series turned out was a surprise to the school, and also showed that there was going to be some fine Basket Ball players for the High School team in a few years. The Freshmen won the series by winning three games out of three.

Pleasant to participate in a Basket Ball Tournament held for teams from northern and central Michigan. The interest of the school toward the team was shown by the large number of students who were at the train to see them off. Upon arriving in Mt. Pleasant, the boys were taken to the houses where they were to have rooms while there. The sixteen teams participating were divided into two classes according to the size of the town in which the high school was located, those from towns of two thousand and over being placed in class A, and those from towns less than two thousand, in class B. A very peculiar thing about the tournament was the fact that a class B team won the tournament, a class B team wonthe consolation tournament and all the games of class B were close] and harder played than the games of class A. There were eight teams in each class. The coaches drew for the places of the teams in each class, and Hart drew number eight. The first game was played with Breckenridge on Thursday afternoon and Hart won 21 to 2. The second game was played Friday forenoon with the team from Chesaning. This was a harder game than the one of the day before and better played. Hart won by the score of 16 to 10. The winning of this game put Hart in the finals of Class B. The finals were played Friday afternoon with Cass City. The game was fast from start and kept the crowd continually on its feet. At the end of the first half Hart was in the lead 6 to 3, but in the very last part of the second half Cass City came from behind with enough points to win 15 to 12. From the beginning of the tournament it was conceded that Cadillac had the best chance to win the cup. The final game of the tournament was played between Cadillac and Cass City. Cadillac had played exceptional Basket Ball in every game and Cass City had been getting better in every contest so a great game was expected. The crowd was not disappointed for this game was the best of the series. When the game ended and the scorers announced that Cass City had won the game, the tournament, and the cup, the crowd was wild with excitement. Cadillac deserves a great deal of credit for being such a fine bunch of losers; they took the defeat like real sportsmen. The score was Cass City 29, Cadillac 27.

The boys were treated excellently while at Mt. Pleasant. Friday noon they were invited to go to chapel, Friday afternoon at five-thirty there was a banquet held for all the teams and for the faculty of the Normal College. The team left Mt. Pleasant Saturday morning and had the honor of riding in a private car to Grand Rapids with the noted actor, Fiske O’Hara, and his company. The team arrived at Hart that night. At the station they were greeted by some of the high school students. This was the last of the Basket Ball season. Thus ended a season that will long be remembered by the players and the High School.

A majority of the high school girls came out for practice and a number of exercises were learned, which prepared us for Basket Ball. A couple of weeks before the Pentwater game, the gymnastics were dropped and Basket Ball was taken up, with Miss Greenfield as coach. Organization of the team was made and Eldora Myers was elected captain. The material was rather green for our first game, there being only one player from last year's team. The results of the first game roused our determination and the practice was more spirited after that. The game with the Alumni girls was a preliminary to the Fremont boys game, the High School girls were the victors. The playing was good on both sides, considering the practice we had had. The return game with Pentwater was delayed a couple of weeks by the “Flu.” However, the game was played March fifth. The trip was made in a truck, several of the teachers accompanying us. It was a well matched game. At the end of the first half the score was 6 to 4 in favor of Hart. Pentwater got desperate the last half and the game ended 18 to 11 in Pentwater’s favor. Our forwards, Sarah Hubbel and Elsie Brandel, made good their opportunities to make baskets. Although our running center. Henrietta Jorissen, was not with us, work was fast in the center with Wilna Reynolds, jumping center, Lydia Brandel, running center, and Julia Hubbel as sub. Our guards, Ida McRae and Eldora Myers, playing against worthy opponents, held their ground. On account of the “Flu” again the season was closed. The Basket Ball season on the whole was a success and indicates that there will be strong material for a good team the coming year. SCHEDULE Date H. H. S.

Pentwater plays them with skill and care, Said Eldora one night, “You stand back there, I play here, why tread on me? You just look out or trouble there’ll be.” l eft forward from the country came; Elsie Brandel is her name; She shoots the basket best of all. Out of three she misses them all. There is one thing they’re noted for, That’s their ability to shout; When Savage coaches them for one hour, He is fairly tuckered out. Well, now the games are over, And the honors fairly won; Let’s be polite and tip our hats. And shout. “At-a-boy—Well done.” J. S. Editor’s Note.—The above poem is given litteratim and verbatim and might well be called “Jim’s Maiden Effort.” There stands our right forward, With whom Bert Cilley flirts; She forwards the ball, best of all And wears no hobble skirts.

The first part of the evening was spent in playing games, after which refreshments were served, consisting of ice cream cones. The remainder of the time allowed was given over to dancing. The music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Gamsby. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen were splendid entertainers and if they keep up at this rate until they become Seniors they will be very proficient in the art. The four classes of High School, Faculty, and School Board were invited. The auditorium was decorated in the class colors, purple and white. In a secluded part of the room was an attractive little cozy corner, which always seemed to be in great demand. Refreshments were served, consisting of punch and wafers. The dancing lasted until eleven o’clock; music was furnished by the Hart Orchestra.

The Auditorium was packed and good attention was given throughout the entire play. The Sophomores deserve great credit for their dramatic ability as does also Miss Adair, who was their director. The play opened in a small village in New York, near a U. S. Army training camp on an early afternoon in August. It was near this place that a well-to-do widow, Mrs. Randall, with her two sons, Phillip and Tom. and daughter. Jessie, lived. Mrs. Randall was a tall, dignified appearing woman of about fifty years of age. Her eldest son, Tom, was in jail for stealing a large sum of money from the bank, and was therefore in disgrace in the sight of the whole community. Her other son. Phillip, was in love with Lucy Garrett, who. however, refused him as an engagement existed between herself and his brother, Tom. One stormy evening during the following winter Tom returned secretly and accused Phillip of being the real thief. Phillip, however, begged Tom not to tell for the sake of their mother and for the sake of the “Old Flag.” Therefore, Tom remained silent. Phillip, in spite of his selfishness and weakness of character, sailed for France. There he became fatally wounded in battle. A letter arrived at his home in New York, containing a confession that cleared his brother’s name in regard to the theft and exonerated him from all blame. Tom then, with Lucy’s promise to wait for him, enlisted under the Old Flag. Ivy, “the help,” and Oliver Moon, together with Heze-kiah Wilkens and Sophia Ash furnished the amusement and humor in the play. The play ended happily for all concerned. The appreciation of the audience was shown by the prolonged clapping which ensued after the curtain fell. The proceeds taken amounted to eighty-five dollars and sixty-five cents; sixty dollars of this was given to a fund, the purpose of which is to provide new scenery for the stage.

THE WEBER MALE QUARTETTE The Weber Male Quartette gave many excellent selections, consisting of songs and readings. Some of the songs that won instant approval and favor were “Annie Laurie,” “Crossing of the Bar,” and “Sweet Genevieve.” The encores were equal to the first numbers, the quartette sometimes giving two and three encores to a number. LOU J. BEAUCHAMP Lou J. Beauchamp, the humorous philosopher, gave a lecture on “Take The Sunny Side.” The lecture was given especially for individual, community, and national betterment. He delivered the lecture in the form of a story with much genuine wit and humor so that it made up a delightful entertainment.

The songs were care-free and joyous, and included a chorus from Carmen, which closed with a beautiful gypsy air. The next part of the program saw the girls in evening dress. They presented classical selections, popular songs, and instrumental selections. The final feature of the entertainment was a Nautical Sketch in which the girls were dressed in Navy costumes. They gave the latest songs of the sea and appropriate readings. THOMAS BROOKS FLETCHER The address given by Brooks Fletcher was “The Tragedies of the Unprepared.” The subject contained a deep meaning but was told in a way that was both humorous and serious. The orations we have heard by Thomas Brooks Fletcher have been very interesting; at times he holds the audience spellbound with his thrilling stories and at other times keeps them laughing at his jokes. •� 4ivlf -ifcv 'it‘I w!v W0 it', it i 8 _______________________________________ a w mvwvt nvwvw .

Bulck, Overland, Oakland, etc. The aim of the person running around is to obtain her own seat before being caught. Within sight of her seat and with the full intention of gaining the seat, the foot of the runner, Agnes , slipped and she fell nearly the whole length of the aisle. Well, remarked Miss Mcl.ellan, as the girl picked herself up, That is one of the chief characteristics of the Ford. Lyman, while getting up to make his speel after the Basket Ball game said: Well, if I wasn’t so scared and unprepared I would say I was glad to look into your bright and shining faces. I thought you could keep a secret. said a friend. Well, I did keep it a week, was the response. What do you think this is—a cold storage plant? l.ast year, when Thomas Brooks Fletcher gave us a talk to the High School Students, he remarked that a certain little hlond girl was causing him much disturbance. This year when he returned Elizabeth Powers was seen to take her books and depart early, remarking as she went out.

I prefer my insides white, although 1 always had the impression that they were red. Civil Government is a very thrilling class. One day Helen Van- rnhurg walked into the class, stepping over toes that impeded her way. when Ida McRae gave her a violent push, sending her to her seat at a considerably faster rate than she intended.

Miss Adair asked Janies Seager. Why. drawled James.
