Let us forget the fifteen hundred people in this little town of ours and go back thirty-five years to the time when the inhabitants numbered less than one thousand. Let us also forget the six hundred school children in our wonderful building and see the one hundred and fifty scholars of that time studying diligently in the frame buildings which were situated on the southwest corner of ihe present school ground. There were two buildings then. The primary department was in the smaller and the intermediate and high school in the larger. Both were hard to heat and very inefficient even for that time. But Hart was even then a progressive town and seeing the need for a better structure, built a six room brick building which is the front portion of our present High School. This was completed in 1892. In 1893, when they went into the new building, the two frame buildings were sold. The large one went to Mr. Corbin for a warehouse. This burned in 1897. The smaller was sold to Mr. Hiram Crowner who remodeled it and is now living in it in its present situation on Water Street. As the school attendance increased it became necessary to add to the school building, so in 1902 the first addition was made. It contained five rooms. In 1912 the last addition, or as we say, the new building was added. It contains the auditorium, the High School assembly room and six other rooms. It makes the beauty of our school house complete. We are all proud to state that Hart has one of the best schools for a town of its size in Michigan and to our parents and the citizens of Hart the praise is due, because from then-progressive hearts and minds came the Hart High as it now is. We are also proud to state that our town has progressed in other things proportionally. Evalyn Whalley DEDICA TION To Mr. R. L.

They were termed “Freshies” by the older members of the High School group. In spite of nick-names and other unpleasant things, they made remarkable progress, and before long they were completely accustomed to the new life. From the beginning, things went along smoothly, for this was no ordinary class; this was the class of 1924. One day a distinguished member of the class, Virginia Richmond, shocked teachers and school-mates by coming to school with her hair bobbed. Some praised ibis bold act; others denounced it; no one guessed that so many would follow the example of Virginia Richmond. Now, few are the girls who have not made the sac- rifice to the “ Gods of the Razor and Scissors.” The only girls in the Glass of 1924. who have not bowed to this god of fashion are: Nita Morris, Helen Sherman, Katrina Dennison, Marie Skinner, and Evalyn Whalley. The class teacher during the Freshman year was Miss McCauley; during the Sophomore year, Miss Nichols; and during the Junior and Senior years the class was under the guidance of Mrs. Hutchins. The membership of the class has dwindled down to twenty-nine. There are six pupils who have had the privilege of going to Hart High the entire twelve years of their school life. They are Marie Skinner, Nita Morris, Katrina Dennison, Evalyn Whalley .Kenneth Raider, and Frederick Lambrix, ■ns Pate Twenty-eight To Our Colleagues Eighth Grade, Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, We are going to depart. Yet we never shall forget you Colleagues in the school at Hart. For you helped us with our Haitian As no other colleagues would, And you’ve worked together with us As true school-mates should. You have given us your friendship And co-operation too. We appreciate it, school-mates; We will do the same for you. We will send you our subscriptions, Though we may be far away. We’ll remember help you gave us In the far gone Yesterday. Though we may be separated We will help you just the same. In our hearts we’ll cherish blessings And for you, we’ll wish you fame. We will hope that you may sometime When your days in High are o’er Struggle to exalted places Where you’ll stay for ever more. Ah! Dear colleagues we do hope that In your Senior years at High You may have as kindly colleagues In the days of by and by. That you’ll get the help you merit For you’ve helped us good and true. But we know that howe’er pleasant None could be as good as you. —Evalyn Whalley ft V I Top Row Floyd Weeks. Elvie Krantz, Will Schlee, Mary Elst, Miss Sayles (teacher).

It is almost impossible to believe that they were the now dignified, solemn Juniors of today. But it must be so, for the same faces are here (though somewhat changed perhaps). Let us take a look at these youngsters; why, there’s Eleanor Van Wickle with her hair down her back and there’s Marjorie llackett with a great big ribbon on her hair. Over there is Verne Wietzke and Tulfy Marsh, quiet, but oh so mischievious! And there’s Florence Schofield and Gerry Evans, and Edith Snyder and just everybody, But you ask, “What could these scared Freshies do?” Why, they astonished the whole school by their “Japanese Tea Boom” in the “Hubble-Bubble.” and by their ability to entertain both by program and by party, but most of all by the angelic look they could all acquire after having done something wrong in assembly. That first year they elected for then-officers Rhoda Phelps, Eleanor Van Wickle, LeRoy Steele, and Louise Keene. Their class teacher was Miss Clark. The next fall we look at them and behold, they have grown up. They are Sophomores! Their class teacher is now Mrs. Johnson and their officers are Merle Wood, Eleanor Van Wickle, Florence Schofield, and Geraldine Evans. In this year they rid themselves of a little surplus energy by giving a party. They also gave a program and otherwise distinguished themselves by the noise they could make while singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” or something similar. And now we look at them again, they are no longer Sophomores, but Juniors, old and experienced. This year they are all distinguishing themselves as entertainers, actors, athletes, musicians, and debaters. Thus far they have only given their party, incidentally the first one of the year. But they are working hard on the Junior Hop and on their play. The name of their play is “The Romantic Age” (It sounds like them). It will be directed by their class teacher, Miss Ruth Sayles. Their basket-ball team would have won the championship had it not been for the Freshmen, and out of six people on the debate teams, five ol them were Juniors (and oh, what wonderful successes they were). Their class officers are Earl Van Sickle, Geraldine Evans, Mildred Shisler, and Louise Keene. They are making the school sit up and take notice but just wait until next year! You certainly haven’t heard the last of them yet. I'utt Ihirtyone « Top Row—Charley Walker Catherine .lorrison. Phyllis Nielsen, Gladys Evans, Tony Matulis, Eleanor Hansen.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY C ARLV in September, 1922, the class of ’26 made its advent into the High School life of Hart with an enrollment of fifty-nine. The fist few weeks were as confusing to us as to those who have done the same thing before, but having once learned where we belonged and when we belonged there, we settled down and proved ourselves to be a worthy and studious lot. A little later in the year these class officers were chosen. President, Marion Dcnnert. Vice President, Dorothy Dayharsh; Treasurer, Jean McLouth, We spent many anxious moments preparing for our first party but under the guidance of our class patroness, Miss Taylor, it was a great success. Later in the spring, as our entertainment before the High School, we held mock graduation exercises to show the Seniors “how to do it” when their turn came. Almost before we knew it June had come, exams were over, and nearly every one had gained his much to be desired credits. This year we started our Sophomore career with our class decreased by three, Mr. Olin was chosen our class guardian, and our officers elected were Earl Nichols, Fay Speese, Cecil Nielsen, and Donald Kokx. In athletics we are well established. We are represented on the boys’ basketball team by Russel Marsh and on the girls’ team by Fay Speese, Silvia Fisher, Jean McLouth. Hazel Gobin, and Marion Dennert. Although our boys’ team came in last at the inter-class tournament, the gills’ team was victorious over the Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors. We have enjoyed the hospitality of every other class of the High School, and we will soon entertain them at a party, which we hope will give them as much pleasure as theirs have given us, -—Marion Dennert Fate Thirty-three Top Row—Ruth Jacobs, Miss Lardner (class teacher), Cecil Purdy, Clarence Ming, Theodore Hodges, Ray Stanhope, 2nd Row—Adalbert Meade, Genevieve Wachter, Hubert Snider.

FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY A year ago last September we began the journey which preceded our entrance into High School. We did not elect any officers, but our class was well organized and we worked in unison without them. Under the sure and steady guidance of Miss Schultz and Miss Taylor we accomplished that which we sought for, a year spent not only in reviewing the work of the previous seven grades, but also a thorough preparation for the new life we were about to enter into. As you may infer from the above, not a great deal of time was spent in social activities. Our program before the Assembly, and a play given to raise money lor putting the class picture in the Haitian constituted the chief ones. We must not go on, however, kithout mentioning our part in the High School athletics. The effectiveness of the preparation of our basket ball boys last year is well demonstrated by the work which they have done this year. We left the Eighth grade full of hope and ambition ready to meet every obstacle which might thwart our passage through High School. As yet we have found nothing to which we have not been equal. To begin the year we enrolled as Freshmen and took our places in the Assembly Hoorn, which, in our opinion far surpasses sitting in the mathematics’ room. Our class numbers fifty-four and we hope that this number will increase rather than decrease. We elected class officers and we leave for you to determine our ability in choosing the right ones for the right places. They were, President. Cecil Purdy; Vice-President, Floyd Puffer; Secretary. Helen Tate; Treasurer, Helen Spitler. We have placed our confidence in them and we believe them capable of performing all their duties well. Our class teacher is Miss Lard-ner. To help the Freshmen through the perilous siege of learning to dance, Miss Boyd kindly consented to conduct dancing lessons for our benefit. Some of the “Fresh-ies” have become very proficient in the art and in order to let the other classes of the High School know this, we gave a party March 1st. We believe that this was surely a credit to us in every way and we are looking forward to the time when we may again entertain the other classes of the High School. A basket-ball tournament was conducted in the middle of the season and the Freshmen boys played an important part in it. As a trophy, a silver cup was offered to the winners and we captured the laurels. The girls are also beginning to demonstrate their ability in this line and we hope that next year they may have as good, if not better success, than they have already had. In the distance a great vista of the future rises before us. Only unlimited success can be seen and we hope to be able to fulfill all our expectations and when we pass through “Senior Gates” feel that our lot has been one of prosperity and victory. —Margaret Seymour ’age Thirty-five 5 5- Top Row—Ronnie Weeks, Lee Fuller, Miss Lindsay (class teach rh Louis DcWolf.

EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY VITT HEN school began in September, ’23 W we, the members of the eighth grade crowded into our home room, half a hundred strong. There were so many of us that twenty had to be given seats in the high school assembly room. Our class is the largest in the history of the Hart High School. At first the High School organization seemed very complex to us. We made many embarrassing mistakes in trying to find our class rooms, but in time, we got our places learned, and settled down to hard work. We soon became much interested in High School activities, especially the athletics. Our boys played foot-ball, and both girls and boys play basket-ball. The boys’ team played the seventh grade and defeated them by a score of ten to eight. At Christmas time our teachers sur- piised us with a party. Eight members of the class dramatized Dickens’ “Christmas Carol” which was much appreciated by the rest. Needless to say we did full justice to the refreshments. February was an impoitant month with us. Washington’s birthday, we gave a program before the assembly room. A number of our class had important parts in the lied Cross play which was given at the Parent-Teachers’ Association. On the twenty-ninth of February we had our class party. We had a very enjoyable time playing games and listening to a comic program. We decided then that a party of our own is much more fun than being invited to the High School parties. V e have tried to make the most of our opportunities in this grade and hope to be a creditable addition to the High School next year. Page Thirty-seven HART PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION As a result of considerable interest expressed about a Parent-Teachers’ Association in Hart, a meeting was called at the High School Auditorium on October 31, 1922. A goodly number of citizens were present and Mr. Pugsley was elected temporary chairman. Several persons expressed themselves as in favor of organizing; but it was the convincing talk given by Mrs. Crane, president of the Montague P. T. A., on the benefits to be derived from such an organization that decided them to effect such a society for Hart. It was therefore voted; a constitution and bylaws adopted and officers elected as follows: I. B. Day-harsh, president; Mrs. Emma Hutchins, Mrs. Black more and Dr. Wood, vice-presidents; Mrs. Millicent Dennison, secretary, and S. T. Collins. treasurer. For some unaccountable reason the Society, apparently launched with so much promise, lay dormant for a whole year. Then in October, 1923, owing especially to the efforts of the local Child Conservation League, a re-or-ganization was effected. It was voted that the old officers, (except the treasurer, who had removed from the community) should hold over until the annual meeting the following March; working committees with Rev. Holman head of Program; Mrs. Harriett Rollins head of entertainment; Dr. Blackmore head of membership, and Mrs. Edith Munger head of publicity were appointed and begun immediately to function. The program committee under Mr. Holman’s capable leadership has been very active indeed, seeing to it that every meeting has had something worth while in the way of discussions on matters pertaining to school activities, school management and the like; pupils fiom the various grades have furnished entertainment in the way of music, playlets, practical demonstrations of school projects, etc. The most side-splitting number on any program was the performance of Prof. Guggen-htimer’s Mechanical Dolls, represented by Messrs. Raider, Evans, Bleecker, and Rakestraw, all of whom, according to their director, could “walk, talk and almost sing.” 1. B. DAY HARSH, President of the P. T. A. in their first yjar. Community song books were soon secured and with Mrs. Harriett Rollins and Mrs. Helen Sayles in charge, old fashioned songs, that everybody loves to sing, have been a part of every program. The same committee with Miss Ruth Sayles—that mistress of “good eats”—saw to it that delicious light refreshments were served as a part of the social hour at the close of each meeting at which time a special effort was made to see that parents met the teacheis who have their children in charge. Among the questions for community betterment that were discussed in connection with the schools, was a project for a safe municipal skating rink for younger children. A committee was appointed to secure a place and make plans; but un propitious weather undid their hard work as fast as they did it so the plan was given up for last winter; with the understanding. however, that the same committee should have a rink ready for Jack Frost to do his part toward making a place for the boys and girls to skate and play in safety. Along health lines our county nurse. Miss Zickert, gave an excellent talk on “Why a Baby Clinic?” Following this the Association voted to ask Representative Lewis to work for the appropriation necessary to enforce the provisions of the Shepard-Towner Act for Michigan. A good health playlet entitled “Seven Keys to Health” was given by pupils under Miss Zickert’s direction. The largest audience of the whole year assembled and remained until a late hour listening to a most startling and informing talk on goitre and its prevention, by Dr. C. C. Slemmon, health officer of Grand Rapids. As a result of this splendid instructive address preventative treatment of goitre with iodine will be given in our schools in the near future. In order to become associated with the state group our local body has paid its 15c per capita which entitles its members to receive the State Bulletin monthly and such other material as are furnished from State headquarters. At the annual meeting held March 11 the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Fate Thirty-nine Rev. Rex Holman, president; Mrs. Sara Lombard, Mr. Harry Olin and Mr. Wesley Sargent, vice-presidents. while Mrs. Dennison and Mr. Charles Harris were re-elected secretary and treasurer, respectively. So much for the first year’s activities of the Hart Parent-Teachers’ Association which stands for better schools, better homes and a better, cleaner community in which to live and be happy, l et’s all help boost and thus make it more effective next year. —Kdith C. Munger,Publicity Chairman Spring Spring The leaves are beginning to bud; The birds are beginning to sing; The streets all resemble a flood; In fact, oh, my dears, it is : pring. Spring will come most any day, So the weather prophets say. That romantic time of the year Is getting very, very near. The megs are beginning to roll; The children begin to rebel Against school, ’tis a horrid old hole. How they hate the clear sound of its be!!. Little birdies go tweet, tweet. You step in slush and wet your feet. Flowers spring from a crumbling mold, But 10 to 1 you’ll catch cold. The hair is beginning to fly Having long been confined by a hat. The maid (dreaming) heaves a deep sigh We know it is spring hy all that. Spring is the morning of the year. Forget the winter dark and drear. You have nothing whatever to fear Though you slip on the ice and skin your car. The winter has flown far away. No snow we shall see for a year. The little ones gambol and play. The beautiful spring, it is here. —E. W. Now is the time to romp on the grass And land on the mud with a sickening splash. Tomorrow we’ll hunt the flowers so sweet, But the morrow dawns with a storm of sleet. Love But cheer up for this is spring. You must smile and of times sing. Though the neck of the guy, you’d like to wring, Whoever invented the darn old thing. Ihere is a disease of mankind For which praise is sent up above. Which shows us how foolish are people. And the darned thing is known as love. —D. H. Love It attacks us without distinction. All manners of people alike; Like a gun in the hand of a woman. None knows just where it will strike. The sweetest thing in all the earth; The thing of greatest sterling worth. That which w'e all shall sometime feel; Which no one can deny is real. It makes the queerest companions. The good are paired with the bad. The young hook up with the old ones. And the sorrowful with the glad. Love is felt but unexplained; It cheers the blue and relieves the pained. By it we live in peace and joy And nothing can this love destroy. Its victims are almost crazy . They are truly said to be blind. It is very hard on the intellect And weakens the strongest mind. You say, “What is this thing called love?’ It is a gift from up above. Without it no one can exist In greatest happiness and bliss . Whoever is attacked by it Seldom ever gets free For the poor dumbells get married So, none of that stuff for me. —D. H. We often wonder when we’ll see This which to others seems to be The greatest thing in earth or sky Our time’s coming by and by. —E. W. Pole Forty OUR SCHOOL OUR School occupies the northern half of a block made by State, Jefferson, Court land and Lincoln Streets. Fm not sure about the last named, but no one knows the difference, anyway. The building is made up of two distinct parts, the original structure and the new addition. The front entrance on State Street leads into the main hall which runs the entire length of the old building. The first room to your right as you enter the hall is the chemistry room from which there is an arch leading to the laboratory. Here Mr. Turk holds sway over his two-room kingdom and Physics and Chemistry subjects. Proceeding down the hall the third door to your Kft leads to the torture chamber where Mr. Rake-s traw and Mr. Bleecker inflict Geometry and Algebra. Across the hall from this room is the History room. Here Mrs. Hutchins imparts her wonderful knowledge to the Seniors in American History and English and to the Sophomores in Ancient History. Now at the very end of the hall we come to the Assembly. The room is divided by a wide central aisle, each section contains six rows of eighteen seats each. Blackboards run along the eastern wall, windows along the southern side, and windows also run along part of the western side, which has built-in book cases, too. Jn these cases are kept the books of our school library, guarded over by Miss Boyd, the librarian. Way up in front in exactly the center of the room is the principal’s platform and desk, and this throne of honor is given over to the teacher in charge of the Assembly room. In the northeastern corner of this room is a door which leads to the language room where Miss Boyd teaches Latin and French. From the language room there is a door opening into Miss Cryan’s English room. Here Sophomore and Junior English are taught and also Modern History. Mr. Olin has his Agri- culture Laboratory down in the basement. Mr. Keene has his Commercial rooms on the third floor of the old building and Miss Lardner has her domain “up in the attic”. There are about two hundred and fifty pupils in our High School and Eighth Grade. Some take the regular academic courses, Latin, French, English, History, etc., others take the Commercial Course, and still others take the Agricultural Course, or Home Economics. This year debating has been revived in our school by Miss Cryan and although no debates were won, we all hope that the team will be more successful another year. As every one knows, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, so, of course the pupils must have some recreation. In the large Auditorium immediately above the Assembly, each class of the High School entertains the other members and the fuculty, once a year, to a dancing party. Then, too, our splendid foot-ball and basket-ball teams are banqueted after each season’s work, and of course, there is the annual Junior Hop. Another feature for entertainment, educational as well as enjoyable, is the lecture course which includes four entertainments during the year, furnished by the Redpath Chautauqua Company. The auditorium is also the scene of many a thrilling basketball game. We are all proud of our basketball teams, (.specially the girls’ team, which is the best our school has had for several years, due, no doubt, to Mr. Turk’s energetic and competent coaching. The aim of our school, or rather, the teachers in it, is to aid each pupil for his work in life. The instructors are always willing to give individual assistance and the work offers equal advantages to all. ONE DREADFUL NIGHT Sleeping in a strange room and far from home and mother was a new experience for Elizabeth and her imagination became very active. She had heard that a strange man had gone to several houses and had knocked at the doors late at night, which of course frightened the inhabitants. At one house he knocked about twelve o’clock, so the woman got up, went to the door and asked, “Who’s there?” As the words were spoken the man ran, but he again knocked at the door of the next house. The sheriff hunted and hunted but no trace of the strange, prowling man was found. Elizabeth became nervous thinking about it and was sure she heard someone knock at the door. Then someone came up the stairs and knocked at her door. Her heart almost stopped beating and as quick as a flash she was buried in the bedclothes, head and all. Just then another rap was heard at the door and a voice called, “Time to get up, Elizabeth. It’s five o’clock and breakfast will be ready in about twenty minutes.” She was so glad to hear her aunt's voice that she got up quickly and was downstairs ready for breakfast in ten minutes. But the horrible thought of the man remained in her mind for a long time. —Peggy Brookes Fait Forty-ont TEXAS BILES DREAM Texas Bill's horse was grazing near the spot where Texas lay reading a hook. Texas was a big athletic, wide-awake fellow, always playing jokes on someone, and was the best marksman in the state. Bill layed down Ivanhoe, for that was the book he was reading, lay down and went sleep. He woke up to find that he was in a forest instead of a Texas range. Bill sat there for a minute when all of a sudden he heard someone say. “Father Abraham, have mercy.” Drawing his revolver Bill cried, “ Come out of there you sneaking coyote before I plug you.” The bushes parted and a trembling miserable person came out leading a burro. The man wore a cap, a badly worn cape, and boots lined with fur. “Sir Knight, I beg of you, don’t harm me,” cried the man, “1 am only a miserable Jew. Isaac of York, whom the bandits have robbed of all his money.” Bill thought he would have a little fun with the Jew, so he said, “Give me a pipefull of your whiskers, Grandpa,” and reached over and cut off the end of Isaac’s beard, stuffed it into his pipe and began smoking. The Jew, trembling all over, exclaimed, “The man spits fire. He is an evil spirit. Have mercy stranger.” “Evil.” cried Bill, “Well, I’ll show ya what evil is.” Drawing his revolver he proceeded to make a seive out of Isaac’s hat. “Abraham!” cried Isaac, “what manner of a monster is this that carries fire and thunder in his javelin?” “Don’t start to call your friends 'cause I’ll plug them, too,” says Bill, “and don’t get personal. I’ll just give you ten seconds to make yourself scarce.” The Jew began to sprint at a rate that would make a modern Marathon sprinter faint, had lie seen him, with amazement. “1-2-3-1-5-6-7-8-9-10,” counted Bill. Then BANG!, BANG!, BANG!, Off went the JewV, money bag (which was hanging at his side). Bill rolled over and laughed until the burro got tired of it, lifted up one foot and set him neatly in a pool near by. Bill woke up to find Shorty (his nearest friend) pouring water down his back. “Just returning compliments” cried Shorty, making for the barn, “for hiding my boots when I wanted to go to that barn dance.” —Daniel Schofield A Gentleman I have never seen nor heard of my ideal gentleman, nor do I ever expect to, but if anyone of you should ever discover one who answers these qualifications please let me know. He must be one who is clean and neat in dress and habits but isn’t lady-like; who has manners enough to use some every day without exhausting his supply; who has enough courage to do what he wants to, but sense enough to want to do what he should; who can listen intelligently while 1 talk and then not ask a lot of unncces. ary. foolish questions; who is healthy enough so that he isn’t afraid that he will catch cold if he tips his hat; who is so sensible that he won’t believe every thing that I say; who isn’t afraid that someone might hear him speaking to his girl acquaintance on the street; who tells the truth at all times rather than occasionally; and who doesn’t keep all his knowledge on display . Emerson said that a man should have money to be a gentleman. I don’t agree with him but it wouldn’t hurt him any to have some-and use it. I never expect any applications from this article. The Wren Oh, what a sweet little singer he is, And proud of his notes and tune, That makes the old folks feel better each day, And thrills the children from noon until noon. Just watch on the fence posts, on house, and on barn. And you’ll see this sweet little bird of song. He Hies about the buildings and everywhere. And if you’ve not seen him, his song’s in the air. —Floyd E. Weeks --------[ § ]---------- The western gales rose high As they went from town to town, And the car gave one deep sigh As the young man shut it down. The gasoline was all. The rain was pouring down. When along came another car And took them back to town. ■ Fate Forty-two —Mildred Shisler R. A. W. A. C. ■ifi Faculty Play The Faculty presented the usual mirth-provoking farce November 9th and loth to capacity houses. “What Happened to Jones” proved to he hilariously interesting for Jones and all the other characters were our own faculty members. Many and various were the difficulties besetting them in the course of the evening’s entertainment. Jones, a hymn book agent .erstwhile a playing card salesman, took an evening off while on his trip selling hymn books, attended a boxing bout, was pursued from the place by the police. To play safe he followed Prof. Goodly, who had been enticed to see the bout “for the advancement of science”. The complications produced side-splitting scenes as well as some interesting love affairs. The cast was as following: Jones—Mr. Rakestraw; Ebenczcr Goodly—Mr. Bleecker; Anthony Goodly, D.D.—Mr. Olin; Richard Heartherly—Mr .Turk; Thomas Holder—Mr. Keene; William Bigbee—Mr. Shinn; Henry Fuller—Mr. Dressel; Mrs. Goodly— Mrs. Hutchins; Cissy—Miss Saylcs; Marjorie—Miss Bergmann; Minerva—Miss Carter; Alvina Starlight—Miss Boyd; Helma—Miss Cryan. --------[ § ]---------- Junior Play On March 28, the Junior class of Hart High School presented “The Age of Romance,” in the auditorium with the following cast: Mr. Knowles Maurice Kunkel; Mrs. Knowles Edith Snyder; Melisande—Florence Schofield; Jane Bagot—Louise Keene, Gervase Mallory— Russell Marsh; Bobby Coote—Merle Wood; Gentleman Su.an—Frank Walsworth; Ern—Henry Shisler; Alice—Eleanor Van Wickle. The play was beautifully presented by the cast. Melisande was a very romantic young woman. She was quite disgusted with the 20th Century. She longed for the romantic days of old when she could have been taken away by a beautiful knight in blue and gold. Of course Mr. Knowles openly made fun of her. Jane seemingly agreed with Melisande but really thought her absurd. On one grand mid-summer night Melisande found her knight in blue and gold. Gervase Mallory stopped for some gas but returned for his cigarette case. He saw Melisande standing in the moonlight. The next morning they met in the woods. He promised to come for her in the afternoon. But when he came in the afternoon he shocked Meli- sande by appearing in an ordinary suit. Well, Melisande had already refused Bobby, three times, but she wanted him back, but alas, Bobby had lost his heart to Jane. Gervase came back again and won her again. She finally accepted the 20th century knight without alteration. --------[ § ]---------- Senior Play The Senior Play was presented May 2, in the auditorium. “Fifty-Fifty” proved to be a very delightful comedy. Many and laughable were the absurd situations brought on by the extreme poverty of two pals, Henry Brown, an artist, and Paul Green, an author. The clever witticisms were hilariously entertaining. Each one played his part so well that it was just about “fifty-fifty.” The cast was: Henry Brown, an artist—Dale Hoffmyer; Paul Greene, an author,—Christian Kenfield; Patrick O’Malley, a janitor. Robert McMillan; Mrs. Podge, a landlady Evalyn Whalley; Sophie Bland, a dancer- Isabel Van Amburg; May Dexter, an enthusiast- Marie Skinner; Mrs. Hamby, a collector of art—Helen Sherman; Smudge, a valet—Leland Bates; Cap’., a wanderer—llailey ley Hodges; Josephine ,a seeker Edith Shogien. ---------[ § 3-------- Football Banquet The annual Football Banquet, December H, was a great success as usual. A delightful banquet was served under the supervision of Miss Sayles. The Christmas decorations were very pretty with large red candles on each table, for lights. A beautiful big Christmas tree laden with a present for each guest added to the enjoyment of the guests. The following members of the team won the letter “H”: Barton, Berger, Littiebrant (Capt.), McCulley, Hoffmyer, Hodges, J. Weirick, Wietzke, Me Rae, Walsworth, Purdy, Schlte, Ix bdell, and Kenfield.

The auditorium was made beautifful with decorations of orange and black. At ten o’clock ice creams cones were served, and while the cones were being eaten Genevieve Wachter entertained with a rollicking jig. The Freshmen have certainly made a name for themselves in being able to carry out successfully whatever they attempt.

Hart High School Apple Judging Team In the fall of 1922 Hart High School Agricultural Department was represented for the first time at the Michigan Horticultural Show at Grand Rapids. The apple judging team was composed of Clyde Ackley, Albert Greiner and Norwood In gland. There were eight schools represented and the Hart team placed third. With a little experience and a lot of hard work the 1923 apple judging team won first honors and Christian Kenfield was awarded the State Championship. T h e team in 1923 consisted of Christian Kenfield, Robert Greiner and Delos Highland. (In Picture.) A fine silver cup is awarded to the winning team. This becomes permanent ownership after a school wins it three times. The silver cup is donated by the Kent Storage Company, of Grand Rapids. Christian Kenfield received a life membership in the Horticultural Society . All of the eighty boys and girls enrolled on the local agricultural department tried out for the team. This means that we are going to have a good team another year . The Hart team won first honors against sixteen other teams in the State, Following are some of the team winners and their scores out of a possible 2100 points: 1. Hart 1512.5 2.

Edith Snyder Hart High School Debaters •a For the first time in the history of Hart High School debating has found its place. This year debating teams were organized with Miss Cryan as coach. Hart High School became a member of the Michigan High School Debating League, conducted by the State University. This year the subject was: Resolved that the Adoption of a Ship Subsidy would be a wise National Policy”. Our affirmative team was as follows: Louise Keene, Florence Schofield, and Marian Dennert. Their first debate was with Whitehall (a veteran debate school). The local team did some very fine work but Whitehall’s reputation won for her the decision of the judges. After this defeat the team worked harder than ever. While the football team worked on the field at scrimmage practice the debate team was working equally as hard at refutation practice. The next opposing team was from Scottville. This time Hart had the debate better in hand and did some strong work. However the decision was against us. After the debate a committee consisting of Dolly Kay and Mildred Shisler entertained the local debaters, the two Scottville teams and their escorts, all in all about twenty of Scottville’s extra bests, and the members of the faculty at a delightful party in the kindergarten. The next team now started their role. Mildred Shisler, Ira Pol ley, and Edith Snyder composed the team. They were unable to get to Scottville for a return debate. After two DARING attempts they finally reached Whitehall. The team worked well, holding the advantage almost to the last but again experience told and the final refutation won the judge’s decision for Whitehall. Hart’s debaters may have lost debates but never have they lost the spirit of debate or, what is still more important, the spirit of good sportsmanship and high school scholarship. Losing has taught them how to win. Hart’s debaters look to a brighter future. They make no beast, but next year Hart will have six experienced interscholastic debaters. —Florence Schofield Pagt Fortytiint a MUSIC bass viol), piano). Joe Dennison (cornel) violin).

Hart High School Orchestra 2 IN nineteen twenty-one, when Mr. Paul Nielsen organized the Hart High School Orchestra, the members numbered only fifteen. The talents of these few students were brought so much into prominence that in nineteen twenty-two, twenty-five aspiring musicians set about to develop their musical skill by studying in the orchestra. In September, nineteen twenty-three, thirty-two members formed the group and by co-operation with their director again made Hart High School Orchestra a success, ending the year by presenting to the public the third annual co:.cert. This year, nineteen twenty-four, Mr. Nielsen has, by his usual hard work and never dying enthusiasm, made the orchestra the best since its organization in nineteen twenty-one. Through his earnest endeavors the High school has become proud of its group of young musicians and offers congratulations to the director on his success. With the valued assistance of Mrs. Frank Quail and Stanley Wise, Mr .Nielsen has been able to present the following program for nineteen twenty-four: Encouragement......................E.

The Greeks and Romans studied methods to develop the body so that it might be pleasing to the Gods to witness their physical prowess in the games. It was thought that a strong, healthy body was necessary in order to develop a keen mind. Thus it was that the early educators included Athletic training in the course of study. And it is still considered a very important part of the curriculum as is shown by the large number of gymnasiums which have been and are being constructed by the universities, colleges and high schools. In many of these institutions the athletic course is compulsory. At the present time the Hart High School has no opportunity to give regular lessons in athletics to all of its students, but it does reach a majority of them through the various games. Competent coaches teach the rudiments of these games and give the pupils proper instructions on how to keep fit. Football, basketball, baseball, and track give each pupil an opportunity to participate. Even though he may not make the first team, the second and third teams are given the same work. As the athletes of Ancient Greece received the olive branch for athletic victory, so the pupils of Hart High receive the letter “H”. No credit is given for graduation but the benefit derived by the individual mentally and physically, Cell repays him for his efforts.

S3 • Hart High School Football HART—58 WHITEHALL—0 On September 28th the Whitehall football team (?) came up here only to get badly beaten. This was our first game. The Whitehall boys were smaller which perhaps accounts for the score. Whitehall received, fumbled, and Hart made a touch-down the first thing. We scored again twice during the first quarter. We scored almost at will after this and several of the subs got a chance to show what they could do in a game. HART—41 MUSKEGON RESERVES—3 Muskegon came to Hart October 6th, kicked around the field to show that they were somebody, and then started into the game as if they were going to play grammar-school boys. Letting Muskegon get 3 points on a beautiful drop-kick, as they did the year before. Hart went on with the game where it left off last year. Hart failed but twice to make her downs and the game ended 41 to 3 in Hart’s favor. HA RT—0 MAN I ST EE—22 On the way up a black cat crossed the road. Due to over-confidence because of winning the first two games by such large scores, and to the sickness of a few of the regulars, we received our first sorrowful defeat October 13th. The ball was advanced to the goal a number of times but could not be put across and the game ended, after a good beginning, by defeat. HART—14 LUDINGTON—7 Ludington came here October 20 with a wrong impression and returned, after a lesson in football, with a right impression, that is, that the Hart team still amounted to something after a defeat. The game started with a bang and continued so until the last whistle blew, ending with a score of 14 to 7 in Hart’s favor. Krane, the fast halfback of Ludington, made the only score for Ludington in a thrilling right-end run in the last quarter of the game. HART—46 SHELBY—2 School was out early and everybody went to Shelby October 26th to see her get badly beaten. Hart made a touchdown before Shelby knew what was going on and scored at will throughout the game. Shelby made the two points by a long drop-kick and a touch-back late in the game. Several subs played during the last half when the score was so large that we knew Shelby would not beat us. HART—0 LUDINGTON—20 The team wen to Ludington November 3rd in an ill humor. Mid could not play because of an affliction similar to Job’s and the weather was far from ideal. The team showed a fighting spirit long to be remembered by Ludington although we lost the game. Krane could not be stopped on end runs which proved disasterous to the Hart boys. Weirick was taken from the game (seeing stars) and did not come to until on the way home, which fact did not help to win the game. HART—6 FREMONT—7 The worst defeat of the season was suffered at Fremont, November 10th, because of hard luck and a few adverse conditions. HART—0 SHELBY—0 Shelby came up here November 16th and she must have practiced a lot for Hart could not score as she had before. Both teams tried hard to get the ball across the goal line but neither suceeded. One of the Shelby boys was hurt quite badly and was taken home immediately. The game proved quite a surprise to all after the other game with Shelby. HART—7 MUSKEGON HEIGHTS—22 On November 24th the Hart team left in high spirits to play one of the biggest games of the season at Muskegon Height. There was snow on the ground in the morning and it left the field a conglomerate mass of slipping, cozing clay. Mid made the only touchdown by a line smash over right guard before Muskegon Heights had their hands on the ball . Because of being heavier, the opposing team pushed the Hal t boys back on the slippery field for 22 points ending the game 22 to 7 in favor of the mud-warriors. After the game Hart was invited to remain to lunch. We stayed and were well entertained. HART—12 ALUMNI—0 On Thanksgiving Day, before dinner, the members of former Hart teams got together and played the Hart team. The Alumni had not had very much practice as a team but made a good showing by holding the Hart team down to twelve points. Just before the game the Hart team had their picture taken and perhaps they were a little scared so they could not run up a bigger score. After the game at Muskegon Heights, .Mr Wietzke invited the Hart boys to his cottage at Pentwater for a picnic the next Sunday. They played baseball until noon when they enjoyed one of the best dinners of their lives. After dinner they walked over to the big lake where they picked up stones, sang songs and took pictures. They came home at dark after thanking Mr. and Mrs. Wietzke for the pleasant time and dinner they had been given. Top Row—Roy Seeger.

In the first half Hesperia got 10 points while Hart only got four. Hesperia made 10 points in the second half while Hart, who seemed to fined her stride, got 17 more points, ending the game 21 to 20 in favor of Hart. The second game, played on December 21 with Manistee, was the first defeat of the basketball season. In the first half the Hart team made no points and Manistee made eight. The Hart boys, as in the preceding game, waded in the second half and made 12 points, while Manistee got thirteen. Manistee won the game 21 to 12. On the day after Christmas the old players, Highland, Strickland, Spitler, Wachter, Hackett, Buchen, Dressel, Vail, Dutch Hackett, and Den-nert got together and played the High School team. The High School beat by the close score of 19 to 16. Hart lost the first game of the new year January 4, when it played Ludington. The first half ended 5 to 13, with Ludington leading. Hart only made two baskets in the second half while Ludington tossed seven, ending the game 9 to 27 in favor of Ludington. The next week the Hart boys suffered a bad defeat at Hesperia. Hart made three points and Hesperia 7 in the first half. Hart failed to score again while Hesperia tosed three more baskets, ending the game 3 to 13 in favor of Hesperia. Mid was left behind, which perhaps accounts for losing the game. On January 18th the Hartford Athletic Club, of Muskegon, came up here and we beat them. Hart made a good start and led at the end of tli first quarter 10 to 7. The two teams kept nearly even, the first half ending 13 to 11 with Hart leading. Hart was still ahead at the end of the third quarter, 17 to 15. In the last quarter the fresh second team went in and tried to keep them from beating. They tied. Then the regulars went in and got a point, making the score 20 to 19 in Hart’s favor. The Hart team played the Faculty, Turk, Olin, and Bleecker, who had Herb Hackett, Bob Vail, and Mid Littiebrant to help them out. The first quarter ended Hart High 10, Faculty 7. The High team still led at the end of the first half, 18 to 15. In the third quarter however the Faculty got busy and led at the end of the quarter 23 to 20. The school team played hard in the last quarter and finished the game in their favor, 28 to 25. Pent water came here on February 8 and played a good fast game the first quarter of which tnded in their favor, 11 to 8. The Hart boys found their stride in the second quarter, which ended 16 to 13 in our favor. Pentwater did not get ahead again and the game ended 33 to 22 in our favor. February 15th we went to Shelby and were badly beaten. Shelby got ahead of us in the first quarter, 11 to 6. and stayed ahead during the first half, ending 20 to 14. Hart made 14 points to Shelby’s 11 in the second half but Shelby won. 31 to 28. February 28th the Hart team went to Pentwater, but as it happened to be the oft predicted fourth year, they beat us. The first half ended Hart 8, Pentwater 10, but in the last half we only got two points and Pentwater made six. This ended the game 10 to 16 in Pentwater’s favor and we will have to wait four years more to see whether we can break the “every four year’’ spell by which they are able to beat us. March 7th the M. E. Basketball team played the High School team. First quarter of this very slow game ended 6 to 2 with the High School boys leading. The second quarter the teams seemed to be better matched, for the High School made 5 points and the M. E.’s 4. The second half was more interesting for the teams kept together. The Hart boys got 8 points and the M. E.’s 7. which inded an uneventful game with a score of 19 to 13 with the High School leading. The last game was played here with Shelby and we gave them a good beating in revenge. They got ahead, 5 to 3, in the first quarter, but we woke up and led at the end of the first half, 14 to 8. In spite of the Shelby rooters yelling they did not get much for we made 14 more points in the third quarter to two points made by Shelby. We kept right on making baskets so fast that Shelby couldn’t stop us and the game ended 18 to 40 with Hart leading. Pat$ Hfty-uven Back Row—Eva Critchett, Catherine Jorrison.

Ladies “Reducer Society' 1 9 2 3 - -1 9 2 4 That name may sound rather dead but you wouldn’t think that the team was dead if you had witnessed any of the games played this year. A great deal of enthusiasm was aroused over girls’ basket ball this year considering that the girls didn’t even have a locker room. Many of the girls realized, however, that if they ever were to have a locker room that they must show the authorities the need for one by putting energy’ into the game. Mr. Turk has been a tine coach and much praise is due him for his work with the team. Basketball practice started November 26 with about twenty-five girls coming out. The number gradually decreased, but at no time in practice did it go below twelve and usually there were fifteen or eighteen girls out. On December 12th the girls elected Marion Denncrt Captain of their team. The first game of the season was played December 13 against Hesperia. Thirteen was a very lucky number for our team, because they beat Hesperia, 22 to 6. It is doubtless, however, if Hesperia thinks that 13 is a lucky number. On December 26th the girls of the High School Played the Alumni girls. When the final whistle blew the score was 4 to 13 in favor of the High School. The Alumni put up a good fight and it made the game interesting. In spite of the snow the team went to Hesperia and played the return basketball game. Again the girls won over Hesperia with a score of 11 to 18. Hesperia had supper ready for the team when it arrived, and after the game it was treated to an oyster stew. On January 22nd the basketball girls had their pictures taken for the “Haitian”. The Sophomore girls defeated the rest of the girls in the High School on January 25th with a score of 27 to 10. On February 8th the Pentwater teams went home surprised for lo! And Behold! The girls’ team had been defeated for the first time in several years by the Hart girls. The score was 13 to 17. Oh sad story! On February 15tli at Shelby the girls were defeated with a score of 1!) to 40. Again must the woeful tale be recorded how the girls were defeated at Pentwater on February -9th with a score of 6 to 25. On March 14th the girls were defeated for the first time on their own floor. The deed was done by Shelby with a score of 20 to 25. This was a very interesting game all the way through. Every minute was full of pep. Thus ends the basketball season for the season nineteen twenty-three and twenty-four. Next year the girls hope to win every game. —M. A. S. B 'age fifty-nine 1. Littiebrant, (capt.), 2. VanSickle, 3.

As this was the first team that Hart High School had promoted for everal years, we could not expect better results. The material was “green” and Coach Rakestraw gave them training which with more experience should mean a good team later. Two games were played with each of the following places, except with Fremont, one game with them being called on account of rain,: Pentwater, Fremont, Shelby and Scottville. On April 13th the Pentwater team defeated Hart, at Hart, at a score of 8 to 6. Fremont, on their home grounds, repeated the dose on April 21st, beating Hart 12 to 10. April 27th brought better luck and we defeated Shelby, here, with a score of 16 to 18. Hart’s luck and good playing continued, enabling us to take a game from Pentwater, on their diamond, on May 4th. The score was 10 to 5 for Hart. A week from that day Scottville defeated Hart at Scottville with a small score of 7 to 5. The next game, scheduled for May 19th with Fremont had to be called off game was to have been played. May 25th Shelby trimmed Hart at Shelby, much to their delight, with a score of 6 to 5. Pretty close. June 1st Hart won the silver plated cipher when she suffered defeat from Scottville, Scottville inflicting seven painful scores to Hart’s zero score.
