From a parody on a poem by Marie Gust, ’25, of Muskegon What does Hart High mean to you? What is it fitting you to do? Is it just a place you go each day To pass your valuable time away? Or is it a place to get lessons and then To your class or study and home again? Do you consider the time worth while, Or is your attendance to keep in style? Surely this friend is preparing you For a higher and nobler thing to do. 14 THE HA R TI A N D E D I C A T I O N We, the Class of 1925, as an acknowledgement of oar appreciation for his timely suggestions and helpfulness rendered to our school and our class sincerely dedicate this “Hartian to Mr. H. L. Bleecker, our Superintendent and class teacher. Mr. Bleecker. tall and fair, Big red face and not much hair; Always looks like in despair: That’s Mr. Bleecker. Easy steps he takes ahead. Walks as if his feet were lead; Nature’s fault, twas what he said: It’s Mr. Bleecker. Every day in starved like mood He eats his meals of healthy food; Some people think that he's a dude: Yes.

Good looks has she plenty, and with knowledge she’s blessed. In the room next to thiz where language is taught. You learned how Caesar with the Aeduans fought. You will find Betty Boyd, the brains of it all, Making maps of Helvetia, It’ly and Gaul. Miss Pruden can figure, cook, and sew. And place the Sophs on the very first row. And serve us lunches, piping hot, But take back talk? Well, I guess not! The Math. room, filled with 8th grade kids. Is the place where Miss Lindsay generally bids Half of the class to remain after school To be sure and learn that English rule. V Mr. Rakestraw, our principal, and lover of books. Is not half as ugly as he sometimes looks. He coached the boys to football fame And with the Geometiy did the same. Where the typewriters sing and the figures fly. You will find Miss Gibbs, small, neat and shy. On her left hand she wears a sparkling gem, Which (for Walter we hear) is a good omen. Miss I ardner may take you quite by surprise, When you first meet her and her winking eyes. Her hair, they all say, is cf Titian hue And that she’s a friend, tried and true. Mr. Chamberlain, sure, is the Sheik of them all, For him, every maid in the school did fall. He can’t be beat in manners and looks Nor in the knowledge he has reaped from books. We like Mr. Olin and his sunny smiles Which always extend for miles and miles He knows how to coach good basketball teams. And interpret the queerest of Aggie’s dreams. In the Hitsory room, where tell shelves and hooks Are hung with maps and filled with books,, Mrs. Hutchins will not let you linger long If the quertion she a ks you is answered wrong. Miss Hanson, a beauty beyond compare. Steadfastly retains her chestnut hair; It helps her audience to pay good attention, When she sings at school or at a convention. In the History room, where the shelves and hooks He has made our school so very resplendent His teachers, he hires from the best in college And they’re not excelled in tact nor knowledge. We love our faculty, one and all And hope to see them each next fall When we return to resume our studies And meet new friends and greet old buddies. —Jean Ida McLouth The Senior Class 23 LYLE WYCKOFF - - ‘•nor ’ He has one mind for business and two for women.

JJ____illl.ljjj_______ i i oooo V OOOO I __ oooo � •••• M OX a right and sunny morning in September, B.21. t ie H. S. Army started on their nine months maich to Education. The Commander in Chief was Mr. Blee. ker and the General was Mr. Rakertrcv. The Army was d vided into four corn-pani- s. Seniors. Juniors, Sophomores and Freshmen. The Commander in Chief was not invaded by any fc:.r w'.i:n he raw such a stulicu and large group of recruits enlist in hi.- aimy. He immediately had them mustered in the Freshmen Co., and we chose for our banner and colors. Green and White. Miss Clark was Captain, Louise Keene lst-Lieut., Rhoda Phelps. 2nd-Lieut.. LeRoy Steele, Top Sergeant, and Eleanor Van Wickle, Sergeant. We were divided into numerous squads, such as English, Latin, Civics, Botany, and Algebra. The march was quite difficult for each soldier was expected to carry in his pack four hard studies. The Latin squad met with a serious accident. They were sent on a special commission on a very warm day and the “sun of discouragement shone so fiercely on them that some of them were sunstruck. But everything was not work. Four times we stopped on our march and enjoyed a dancing party and delicious refreshments. Our party was such a success on that first march that we won the praise of the other companies and the Staff Officers. After nine months of hard marching we were given a three-months furlough. And maybe we didn't appreciate it. When we returned in September we were promoted to the Sophomore Company. We were overjoyed to find our Commander in Chief and our General were to be with us again. Mrs. Johnson was Captain of the Sophomore Company, Merle Wood lst-Lieut., Eleanor Van Wickle, 2nd-Lieut., Florence Schofield. Top Sergeant, and Geraldine Evans, Sergeant. Of all our various divisions on the march, the Caesar divisions went on more hazardous commissions and had more hair-raising experiences than the others. We lost a few soldiers of our company in an open battle with Failure. We were entertained by the Senior. Junior and Freshmen Companies, and also by the Staff Offic- ers on this march. The Sophomre party was a success this year too, everyone had a fine time eating candy bars. The army marched slowly over hard roads till we finally- reached Promotion Colony in June, and because we were all worn out and tired, we rested for three months and then went on outmarch the following September. We were now mustered in the Junior Company. Miss Sayles was appointed Captain and our other Company officers were: Earl Van Sickle, Louise Keene, Mildred Shisler and Geraldine Evans. This year a again gave a unique party, and our Company thoroughly engaged the other parties on this march. Just befor spring we stepped in our march and presented a play The Romantic Age. No one will deny the fact that members of our company can act well. Our Captain, Miss Sayles directed the play. We think our Company w-as very fortunate in getting a captain like Miss Sayles. On May 29th we entertained the Senior Company with a very wonderful Junior Hop. Many of our soldiers distinguished themselves by giving very clever toasts. In June the Senior Company, having covered the four-year enlistment period, left the Army. We w-ere very sorry to see them leave because they made very good marching companions. We thoroughly enjoyed our three months rest, but were very anxious to complete our march. Our company was highly honored by having the Commander-in-Chief. Mr. Bleecker, lead u Our officers this year were: Edith Snyder, Carl Guet-tler, Thelma Hasty, and Aliena Gray. We decided that other armies in the future would like to know of our journey so we are publishing the Haitian w-hich contains a record of all our commissions, trials and victories. By this you can judge the talent of our Company. In June we will arrive at the end of our march. We will leave the H. S. Army for the larger Army of Life. We will all go in different divisions, but we will always live up to our motto, “Before U3 lies the timber, let us build, and the ideals giv?n us in the H. S.

They were a promising group. They had entertained the high school so royally with programs, while they were in the eighth grade, that much more was expected of them since they were to be one of the “Big Four.” The class fulfilled all expectations by the aid of Miss Taylor and the class officers, who were Marion Dennert, Wayne Purdy, Dorothy Dayharsh and Jean McLouth. During the year “Mock Graduation Exercises” were given for the special benefit of the Seniors, and the High School, Faculty and School Board were entertained by a Freshmen party. The Sophomore Year for this class, under the leadership of Mr. Olin, Earl Nichols, Fay Speese, Cecil Nielsen and Donald Kokx proved to be as great a success as their year as Freshmen had been. A basket ball tournament for the High School was staged in the Auditorium. Although the Sophomore boys did not win the cup they made their younger brotheis put up a good fight for the trophy. The Sophomore girls showed their superiority in basketball by overcoming the Junior, Senior, and Freshmen teams combined. A Sophomore party concluded the program for this year. When the Junior class enrolled this year under Mr. Olin as their class teacher, they chose the following for class officers: Floyd Weeks, Catherine Jorrisen, Mary Jensen and Fay Speese. The first entertaining of the year was begun by this class. They entertained the High School and Manistee football squad with a hard times party. Ethelyn Clark and Daniel Schofield received prizes for being the most appropriately dressed for the occasion. Jean McLouth, Earl Nichols, Kenneth Smith and Floyd Weeks gave proof of the ability of the . Juniors when they awoke the assembly with their “pep” talks, while Marion Dennert, Jean McLouth, Dorothy Dayharsh and Kenneth Smith went so-far as to make the debate teams this year. They are represented in Athletics by Sylvia Fisher,. Marion Dennert, Jean Mclxnith, Fay Speese, Hazel Gobin, Dorothy Dayharsh, Floyd Weeks, Tony Matulis and Charles Walker. In the near future an evening’s entertainment is to be staged by the class and already they are busy planning the Junior Reception. The year has just begun by the Juniors and the half has not yet been told of what they have done or will do. —Jean Ida McLouth 7 he Sophomore Class � • oooo 0003 jflTTN II II Til III 1 1111 3000 OOOO ! 1 3000 - - =1 ii SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY 1 1— • - 1 — — • 1= oooo; oooo oooo .

Haven’t we stood it these two years passed? We began our flight around the world of Education with Cecil Purdy as our pilot and with Floyd Puffer, Helen Tate, and Helen Spitler as mechanics. Often the faculty aviators punished us when we were naughty, and the blows descended like rain. However, we soon recovered from our trials and tribulations. We had many pleasures during this year’s flight. One moonlight night we. the crew of the now ZR-2, gave a dancing party to the other planes flying near by, who were following the same course as we. (Each crew gave a party in their turn.) We also entertained them with a play entitled “Pat O’Flarity”, which we believe to have been a great success. It at least furnished a great deal of laughter. Oh. we mustn’t forget to mention our boys’ basket ball squad, which won the cup at the basket ball tournament. A cup was offered to the rquad which won over the teams of the other three planes. We won it, and we are proud of the cup. which has the engraving on it, “Freshmen, 1924.’ Being unaccustomed to the high atmosphere, several of the crew became discouraged and wished to descend. Some we saved, others perished as was theih wish. The rest went bravely onward, and ended the first quarter of their flight around the world of education in June 1924. After a three-months rest, we once again resumed our world flight. This was the second quarter of the entire journey. Not because the pilot and the mechanics of the first quarter were unworthy, but because it is customary, we selected a new pilot, Ruth Jacobs, and new mechanics. Roy Coddington.

We had passed safely over the preceding eight grades and now considered ourselves able to sail into high school. In the eighth grade we did not have an organized class. Although we got along quite well an organized class is much better. On entering as Freshmen we organized. Miss Boyd was appointed our class teacher to guide us over the many obstacles in high school. Then we began to elect officers. Although the ballot box w'as stuffed by the rising young presidents, we elected as officers the following: President, Bonnie Weeks; Vice-President, Ida Arnold; Secretary, Keith Dayharsh and Treasurer, Merle Hale. The Freshmen are of course the most import- ant part of high school, even if Ihe Seniors do claim the honor. On February fourteenth we entertained the rest of the high school with a St. Valentine party. The auditorium was nicely decorated with red hearts of various sizes. There was an entrance to the auditorium made in the form of a gate decorated with hearts and for refreshments we served punch and wafers. Our party was a great success and it certainly proved that our greenness was wearing oil. At the beginning of the year there were fifty-five of us but owing to the roughness of the ocean seven of our number decided to give up the ship. With the remaining ones we hope to make a successful voyage with many honors. Helen Parker and Ardath Dukea m THE EIGHTH GRADE CLASS Fourth Row—Atlee Berger, Edith Schaner.

IL --4.— W'HLN school opened in September. 1924, thirty-nine boys and girls enrolled as eighth graders. We began the first day with keen interest and a little fear for we were now to sit in the high school assembly room and follow the high school schedule. At first we found it rather difficult to remember to carry our books and materials with us as we passed from one class room to another and it took us a long time to get accustomed to studying in the assembly room, among the dignified high school pupils. The first month of the year was saddened for us by the death of our classmate. Dewey Bushaw. When our marks for the first period came out we all decided that we must work much harder. Our social activities were limited to the annual eighth grade party which was held in the auditorium early in the winter. A short musical program was given, and the rest of the evening was spent in playing games. Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served. At Christmas time we enjoyed a dramatization of Dickens “Christmas Carer , written by Florence Rittenhcuse and Atlee Berger. After a two-weeks Christmas vacation we took up our studies with renewed energy. At the beginning of the New Year the boys and girls both organized basket ball teams. We have derived great pleasure frem cur weekly practice. This has been a very interesting and profitable year for us and most of the credit is due to the high standards set before us by our patient teachers, Miss Lindsay and Miss Lardner. We are looking forward with keenest anticipation to the more varied social life waiting us next year and hope that each one will prove himself worthy of these greater opportunities. —Dorothy Lombard and Helen Weiting 44 THE H A R T I A N 0300 0000 coco mm 11urm III Mill UTTTTTl 1111M Mill Ml 4 —1 — 1 -1 •—-—-—-—-— —-— SOCIETY oooo oooo iiiiiiiimiiiu IMIlllllll MUM: i ooun OtllKJ . _ ■!

Having grown strong on defeat, and relying upon the incentive of last year’s attainments, the debate squads consisting of Jean McLouth, Wilma Childs, and Marten Dennert, as first, second and third speakers, respectively on the Negative team, and Kenneth Smith, Dorothy Dayharsh, and Ira Polley as first, second and third speakers on the Affirmative team, entered upon a promising career under the excellent coaching of Miss Helen Brien. The initial debate—a practice debate held at home, marked a victory’ for Hart when she won two to one from Ludington—a victory which made the losers look to her powers. The conquest from Pentwater was even a more signal one. because our Negative team received the unanimous decision of the judges. In the next two debates we did exceedingly well, when here at home our Negative team again won, two to one, this time from Whitehall, to whose veteran squad we twice lost last year. The second debate with Pentwater was upheld by Hart’s Affirmative, and because of Ira Polley’s brilliant rebuttal we again won the unanimous decision of the judges. The debate which had been scheduled with Manistee was forfeited by Manistee because the inclement weather prohibited their arrival. By this act we gained four points. We received a total of fifteen points out of a possible sixteen—a record which put us in the elimination contest. However, our Negative team lost to Montague, our first defeat and the one for which we were excluded from the contest. The success this year has been due largely to the splendid co-operation of the teams and the superior ability of the coach, as well as her energetic efforts in this direction. The question for debate was: RESOLVED, That the United States give the Philippine Islands an immediate and complete Independence. At the end of the season. Miss Brien, on behalf of the school, presented the six debaters with charming gold pins, the insignia of which was a Grecian lamp—the National Debate symbol. We feel that the institution of debate has been an exceedingly significant factor in effecting a balance in our school activities, making them neither too athletic nor too scholarly. The debates with their subsequent “feeds’’ have been very valuable in establishing wholesome social relations with other schools in our part of the state. But even more, it has awakened us to the importance of the solving of our national problems. As the lamp stands to light the way to a journey’s end. so does debate stand to illumine a path to a more distant and broader understanding. —Marion Dennert m THE HART HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Standing—Earl Newland, Keith Dayharsh, Caroll Schlueter, Joe Dennison, Geraldine Evans, Merle Wood, Frank Walsworth.

We were very fortunate in getting such an excellent director as Mr. Nielsen. He worked diligently two nights a week with the struggling young musicians. Lach spring as a result of a year’s hard work, a very’ fine orchestra concert was given in Hart and also in neighboring towns. The orchestra has become a permanent institution in the school. It is, moreover, a very important institution because it has been the means of bringing to light the hidden talent of many high school students. This year the orchestra was under the direction of Miss Hansen, and the following officers were elected: Manager:—Lleanor Van Wiekle. Librarian:— Louise Keene. Sec y and Treas.—Florence Schofield. If you should go past the Normal room after 3:30 on Monday or Wednesday night, you might hear “June Night,” “ Carmena,” or perhaps “A Day in Venice,” played by this same High School Orchestra. This would indeed be proof that we have artists among us. The members of the orchestra and Miss Hansen are working very hard and will give a concert sometime this year.

We never knew there were so many talented young people hidden away in our high school, it took the Glee Clubs to bring out this fact. The Clubs have given occasional demonstrations of their ability at the P. T. A. meetings, the L. L. C. rooms, in the assembly room, etc. But. as a still greater proof of their vocal ability, they will present the charming musical comedy, “Miss Cherry Blossom,” in April.

Its object being “to bring the home and the school closer together, and thus work for the best good of the children,’ it attracts people of many different ways of thinking and affords an open forum for discussion which is not equaled elsewhere in the community. “Anyone living in the community and interested in the welfare of the children may become an active member.” Visitors are always cordially welcomed. The officers for the year of 1924-1925 have been as follows: President, Rex O. Holman, 1st Vice-Pres., Mrs. Sara Ixnnbard; 2nd Vice-Pres., Harry Olin; 3rd Vice-Pres., Wesley Sargent; Secretary, Mrs. Millicent Dennison; Treasurer, Chas. Harris. acknowledgement be made for the most pleasing co-operation on the part of Supt. Bleecker, Prin. Rakestraw, the teaching staff and the Board of Education. With such due acknowledgment, the Association is proud to point out that since it was organized, a method of scientific prevention of goiter has been introduced in school; instruction in vocal music has been made a part of the curriculum, and many phases of community improvement have been discussed and in some measure realized. The best results of the three years work have been of necessity preparatory. It has been essential to create habits of attendance, fellowship and frank public discussion.

It has been observed that since the Association was instituted the attendance at the annual school meeting has greatly increased. Moreover, it has been evident that the voters come with well-formulated ideas on school betterment. Many people have credited the Association with much of this growth of interest, deservedly perhaps, if full and working together. This, it is believed, has been accomplshcd to an encouraging degree. The future undertakings of the society should enjoy easier performance because of this preparation. The officers elected March 10, for the 1925-1926 year, are as follows: President:—E. C.

It was getting late and so I set my alarm for the next morning and retired. I could not go to sleep, hut just lay thinking of the wonderful story I had just read. I heard a voice outside. Was I mistaken, no, it was very familiar. At this I looked out of my window and saw the same princess and prince of my story. “Oh. dear, what shall I do?” asked the princess, “I can’t find anyone for my bridesmaids.” “Here comes a girl now. maybe she can help you.” replied the prince. Up the street came a poor girl dressed in rags. She was very beautiful as I could see. But when she saw the rich attire of the others, she turned to cross the street. “Oh .please come here, I would like to speak to you.” cried the princess. Upon approaching them the poor girl had caught a glimpse of me, and after the princess had told her story, she beckoned to me to come out. She told me to find some of my girl friends and come with her. After a trying hour of primping and fixing, we were ready and soon found ourselves in the princess’ carriage. As we neared the church where the ceremony was to take place, we heard beautiful music and the bells started to ring. I was awakened with a shock. There I was; standing in the middle of my bedroom, and the alarm ringing in high glee, for handn’t it awakened me from a most wonderful dream, and right in the most interesting part. I was so amazed and mystified, that it was days before I would set my alarm clock. But I will ask you. dear readers, never to read an exciting story before going to bed. VALLEY FLOWERS Down in the depths of a hidden vale Where the river of life is flowing. Lost to the curious gaze of the world Are the flowers of the spirit growing. Watered by deeds of kindness, Shone on by beams of love, Guided through sin and sorrow By the power above. Scorched by the fires of anger, Shirvelled by hate’s fell blast, Growing again to beauty After the storm is past. So through our faith and our failing, Through times of peace and strife. Growth of the valley flowers Emblems of inward life. By Mary Jensen. SI MMER WOODS AT NIGHT JHEN the sun has sunk behind the western VV hills and the glittering moon is slowly rising high above the mighty tree tops, little creatures, almost lifeless, come crawling forth from their hiding places among leaves and decayed logs. Fireflies will send their tiny lights, darting here and there among the shadows. Above in the tree tops a young screech owl will take his first music lessons and scare some poor creature w’alking below’, out of his wits. All of these things are just a few of the wonderful works of nature. —Olive Bond —By Ida Arnold 56 THE HA R TI A N OH WHAT A RELIEF AS I was walking down one of the side streets one warm night last June, I became suddenly aware that someone was following me. If you have ever had such an experience you will remember that peculiar feeling that runs up your back and you shiver like it was the coldest day in winter. I did not dare look back so I gradually quickened my pace. As I came nearer the corner a car came down the street and tooted its horn. Immediately I heard a scuffle. The tall buildings on both sides of me stood out with ghostly significance in the still night air. I became so frightened that I was on the point of running when the lights went out. The great darkness loomed up on all sides of me. The silence of that still city night became ominous and I imagined noises coming from every nook and corner. 1 grew faint as I thought of all the murders and holdups I had read about lately, but I stumbled on feeling that even this might be my last moment. The walk beneath my feet became rougher and I knew that I must be in one of the alleys. I fell head first over a garbage can with a loud clatter that seemed to echo all over the world. Oh the horror of that moment! Just as I thought the murderer was upon me, my head began to swim and I was lost to the world for a minute. When I again opened my eyes the lights came back on. and, oh what a relief when I saw a big dog standing beside me. —Leota Johnson. ’28 IN ( OI KT FOR SPEEDING I SUPPOSE everybody is acquainted with the police courts in the city, with a heavy set, red faced, heavy joweled man with a cigar stub in the corner of his mouth, acting as police magistrate. At least this was the case one Saturday morning in a large city, when a young man, slight of build, with heavy rimmed glasses and sallow complexion, was brought in by a monstrous “cop.” The police magistrate looked bored, if a man of this type can, relit his cigar, which had gone out half an hour ago, and cleared his throat. “The charge?” this spoken to the fellow who had brought the young man in. “Speeding, your honor.” The police magistrate flashed a heavy scowl, as only police magistrates can, at the young man that bore to him no glad tidings. “Your honor, it was liae this,” broke in the young man, “I was going along about twenty-five miles an hour, when a speed cop drove up beside me and ordered me to stop and calmly informed me to report this morning at ten, and when I asked what it was all about, he said I was arrested for speeding. Can you imagine—” “That’s what they all say. It will cost you just exactly twenty-five dollars,” interrupted the heavy joweled one. “But I’m—” “I don’t care who you are.” “But I tell you I am—” “If you are broke serve your time.” “I am a doctor,” finally managed the little one, “ and I was on a hurry-up call, but I wasn’t going quite forty.” “Why didn’t you tell me that before?” “Well you see it is like this. I made a bet with a friend that on a hurry call I could speed and get away with it without telling who I was, but I see I can’t.” With that the magistrate winked and laughed and the “doctor” gave him a cigar and went out. Several hours later two other people were laughing over the same thing, one wfas the “doc- tor” who said, “Well I got away with it.” “How did you do it?” came from the other person. “Well, you see it w as like this, I told him I was a doctor and he believed me.” —Bill Richmond HONOR What does honor mean to you? Does it have worlds of meaning or does it have none at all? Honor is called for every day of our lives. High Schools call for a great part of the student’s honor. If a student is dishonorable he will lie and cheat, and will have the contempt of the honorable students. When a person has honor, he has all these fine qualities: the respect of others, high moral worth, dignity, courage, fidelity and trustworthiness. I, personally, do not think there is such a thing as having too much honor. If a person that has a grain of honor uses some dishonorable way of answering a question on his examinations, he will find that his conscience troubles him. In High School we are put on our honor to a great extent. We have teachers but they are not policemen or policewomen put there to watch over us, they are put there to teach us. Many boys and girls will be honorable when outside of school. The minute they are in the school house they throw honor to the winds, so, if we use honor outside of school, why can’t we use it in school. Honor used in school will tend to make for that school a good name. So, scholars, be honorable while in school. Charles Juszka. Literary 57 THE TRAVELS OF A POTATO BIG l Y DEAR friends. I must first introduce Mr. Potato Bug. Some of you know him already, but some who live in crowded districts of the city may not be acquainted with the gentleman. Mr. Potato Bug: “I am very glad to be presented to your community this year and I must explain my mission. As 1 have traveled through many states. I have never before had such a fine audience as I now behold. “Many people try to harm my existence without any success. I am now one hundred years old and my teeth are very good yet. The farmers among you are planning not to spare my life another year, for I know how' men think when a potato bug speaks to them. I will now relate a few of my travels for the approval of my fine audience. “My first year of existence I spent on the potato vines of Mr. Never Work’s garden. Of course I was very glad he never did work, for it would have meant death to me. The winter came and I hid myself in a leaf just under the surface of the ground. “The next ten years of my life I spent in Mr. Don’t Have Time’s potato field near Grand Rapids. I will tell you how I came to be so far away from home. When Mr. Never Work sent Mr. Don’t Have Time some potatoes the next Spring, I was out walking and sat down inside the very sack in which were these potatoes, and I was carried w ith them to Grand Rapids. “When I was twenty-one I found myself in the very warm climate of California. I went to Potato Bug balls and banquets, a great number of which were held there. “At thirty-three I married Miss Potato Bug, of Indiana. She was killed, but my life was spared by a flight to Washington. After her death I decided I might as well be dead, so I forged a check in Chicago, III., at the age of fifty-six and was sentenced to prison by a Michigan Potato Judge. I remained there for thirty years. “After serving my time, I decided I would walk to Michigan to thank Mr. Potato Bug Judge for not killing me. This took me fourteen years. So here I am, one hundred years old, and I have traveled from Michigan to California, walking nearly every step. “Mr. Farmer, Mr. Citizen and House Wives, I thank you. Your kind attention has been appreciated. I congratulate you on your fine potato vines.” Clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap-clap, etc. —Cecil Purdy SMACK Halt Sambo, mind yo’ hissnuss boy Yo'll find yo’self at loss fo joy When my pa sees yo’ pa ’bout dis A stealin dis dark night a kiss.

It was painted red. There was something which looked like carpet rags flying around on the seats—the remains of the cushions. Rastus was very' proud of this new conveyance, so he invited Jimmy Brown, a little negro of ten years, to go for a ride. After they had gone a little ways, Jimmy said, 44 Rastus, I’d not hab a ca’ like dis ’un. It don’t go fast eno’ nohow.” Rastus stepped on the gas a little harder. Jimmy, giving Rastus a poke in the ribs, said again, ‘‘Rastus. I tell yo’ I’d not hab a ca’ like dis ’ un. It done gone don’t go fast eno’.” Rastus muttered under his breath, 44You little rascal. I’ll show yo’ it ut can’t go fast eno ” So he stepped on the gas still harder. Jimmy was delighted, but he soon had cause to be sorrowful. A motorcycle drove up beside them, and the driver called out, 44 Halt!” “Go faster Rastus, faster aw’ yer ol’ car done gone ain’t no good.” , Finally, as the driver of the motorcycle persisted, Rastus stopped. The driver told him, along with Jimmy, to report at headquarters of police within the next hour. “What’s he want yo’ ta go down dere for, Rastus? Let’s you an’ me go fer anuther ride, Rastus.

Well I’ll be doggoned wat'll me wife say about dis here? I jest bettcha she’ll throw me clean out a’ dat house. Jimmy, I say if it hadn't a been fo’ you I wouldn’t a went so fast nohow.” They rambled along until they reached headquarters. There, the judge asked Rastus why he was driving so fast. “Well, I’ll tell yo’ Judge. I was jest a given’ dis here youngun a ride. I was driven’ kind’a slow like, when dis here youngun, Jimmy's his name, give me a punch in the ribs, and he says, “Rastus, why don’t you go faster?” See’n as how my car was new, I didn’t want him ta think it couldn’t go fast. Well Jedge, I started to go faster, and dat dere police man, he coined along and told me ta report.” The Judge answered thus, “Rastus Jones, a man as old as you should be clever enough to know when a boy is teasing you. Twenty years imprisonment or $50 fine.” Just then Rastus was awakened by the angry shouts of his young bride, who was trying to yell at him. “I tell ya Beccy, I’m orful sarry. I jest told Jimmy that ya would be mad ’nd kick me out a dis here house. Oh! I most fergot dat I’se been dreamin’,” apologized Rastus, but deep down in his heart he didn’t feel like apologizing. These were his thoughts: “I don’t like ta be superstitious, but I jest know dat dere dream was ta remind me dat when 1 married Beccy, I was jest aputtin’ meself in prison fer 20 years 'er more. If she wasn’t sich a darn’t orful poor cook, that there coffee dat I drank fer supper wouldn’t a made me dream. —Ruth Jacobs WH AT IS HONOR t Honor is one of the most necessary things for success. Honor is present everywhere, at school, in churches, at the lodges, and in homes, yet, few people know what honor really is. It is not honor when a person receives a cup, or other valuable things. That is glory, the thing that is often confused with honor. Honor is the noblest thing a person can live for. Honor is that thing which keeps the boys and girls from copying the answer of their arithmetic problems. The lack of honor is what corrupts the most noble organization in history, the Roman Senate. If a man can be trusted under great temptation, he is honorable. Honor is the thing which makes great organizations like the United States of America possible. Honor is the thing most vital for the moral standing of a man. If a man is honorable, he is more fortunate than the millions. Put it all together and we may safely say, “Honor is the ladder to success.” —Ralph Seeger GROWING SMILES A smile is quite a funny thing: It wrinkles up your face; And when it’s gone you never find It’s secret hiding place. But far more wonderful it is To see what smiles can do. You smile at one, he smiles at you, And so one smile makes two. He smiles at someone, since you smiled And then that one smiles back; And that one smiles, until in truth. You keep in smiling track. And since a smile can do great good By cheering hearts of care. Let’s smile and smile and not forget That smiles go everywhere. —Author unknown. Literary 59 SELLING LIFE INSURANCE “How do you do. Miss Page.” said Tom Aldrich, a young delegate to a convention held at Washington, as he stepped from his hotel. “ Why, how do you do, Mr. Aldrich ' came the reply. “ Oh, the same as ever. “ Good gracious, Tom, I haven’t seen you since we left college and we used to have such wonderful times together at the parties. And remember the year you playd half-back on our football team? said Miss Page. “ Yes, I remember, and I wish we were back there again. I’ll never forget those good times, said Tom. “ Won’t you call at my home this evening, and we can have a nice long visit,” asked Miss Page. “ I would be delighted, was the answer. “Very well, at eight. Here’s the address. Goodbye. Tom hurried on to attend to some business and by the time he was ready to make his call it was live minutes to eight. Being in a hurry, he rang the bell of the wrong house. He then observed the name of Brown on the door. Thinking to get away gracefully, he asked the very dignified woman who opened the door, if Mr. Thompson was in. “Yes, come right in, said the woman. Not knowing what else to do, he let himself be ushered into the sitting room where a very fine old gentleman with white hair sat. As he entered the old man stood up. “ Oh, you’re the young man Mr. Brown sent to explain to me about this life insurance,” said he. Tom, having a great gift of gab, sat down and stuffed the old man for about three-quarters of an hour. Finally the old man said, “ I guess I’ll take out about a ten thousand dollar policy, and I’d like to sign the papers and every thing now and get it over with.” “ Why,—er—I am sorry, but I left all the papers at the office, but I’ll hurry and get them, said Tom. “ That sure was a narrow escape and I hope I never meet that man again, thought Tom as he rang the bell at Miss Page’s home. “You’re late, Tom, and I had just begun to think you were not coming, said Miss Page as he entered the room where she was sitting. “ I’m sorry if I kept you waiting, but I had an engagement that delayed me, answered Tom. -—By Willis Russell THE TRAVELS OF A POTATO BUG The sultry August sun shone on a little yellow egg located on the leaf of a p.:tato plant. After shining thus for several days there emerged from this egg a squirming yellow and black spotted bug, who, wondering and thinking what a funny-world this was, finally decided that he would in some way or other get out of the rays of that scorching yellow ball in the sky. So tumbling off of the leaf he managed to reach the ground only to find himself powdered with duct like the end of a feminine nose, but in a much cooler place. The next morning he started out to see what the world looked like only to come face to face with a saucy lady bug and after a fierce fight he again started on his journey none the worse except for a broken wing. Would he never reach the end cf the world? Wondering thus he crept along inch by inch until a small boy watching him crawl wondered if he would ever reach the center of the potato row wheie he had patted down a nice smooth pile of sand for the bug tc make tracks in. Mr. Potato Bug was here knocked from one side to another, finally he escaped and found refuge in the foliage of another potato plant and by this time he realized that there was such a thing in this world as being hungry, so he tasted a green leaf and finding it a delicious dessert, kept right on tasting until the plant began to look as though it were about to be devoured, but by this time his stomach being filled, he crept into a nice warm place to sleep. The next morning bright and early the farmer came out into the field to see how his potatoes were growing and finding several plants stripped of their leaves came back with a well-filled sprayer of paris green and sprayed quite heavily the plant where the bug was asleep. When the potato bug awakened to a late breakfast he found his dessert well sprinkled with paris green and still thinking that his world was a rather large place he started on his long journey to the “bugs’ happy hunting grounds. —Ida Arnold. Senior Toast: Here’s to ourselves, So modest and shy; But looks are deceiving As you’ll learn by and by. 60 THE H A R T I A N OI K FRONT PORCH IN THK EVENING One evening as I was sitting in the house all alone. I heard a noise outside. It seemed to be on the porch, and kept growing louder and louder. No one seemed to attempt to knock or come in. I heard their shoes squeaking the whole length of the porch. Of course. I was not afraid or timid, but there was a big lump in my throat and my knees were sort of shakey. I thought of all the robbers I had read about in the papers lately. Getting up nerve, I turned on the porch light and stuck my head out of the door. Just as I did this, I felt a thud cn my head and a deep voice telling me to turn out the light. I rushed upstairs, jumped into bed. and pulled the bed clothes well over my head, which was aching very hard. The next morning I tcld my cider brother of my experience the previous evening. I noticed that he just about laughed himself sick. I made up my mind to really be brave the next night and find out who was on our porch, should they come back. 1 got my chum to stay with me and at night we sneaked out the back door with flashlights and a lantern. We stole the length of the porch to the swing and there, who do you think we found? My big brother and his girl. —Lyle Snow.

THE Basketball season of ’25 was a great success, losing only two games of the fourteen scheduled. The greater part of the success is due to Coach Olin, who has been coaching winning teams for years. The team consisted of the following: Marsh, Captain of the team, who played a greal game at forward. He had the knack of losing his man and laying up the baskets, that any player w'ould envy. Purdy, Marsh’s team mate at forward, who played an excellent game and knew how to drop in a basket when it was needed most. Weeks, the tall center, who was also fine at basket shooting. He played a hard game and it was seldom that his opponent got the jump on him. Wing, who held up his end of the game at guard and many times surprised the crowd with a long shot through the basket. Barton, a senior, who will long be remembered for the uncanny way he had of stopping the opponents at the basket. He was always on the job. Walsworth and Guettler, the utility men, could be depended on in a pinch. They are both seniors and will be missed from the squad next year. THE TOCRNAMENTS AT M l. PLEASANT ANI) ANN ARBOR At twelve o’clock, Tuesday, March 17th, the Hart High Cagers left for Mount Pleasant. They had a great trip and enjoyed the scenes along the road and arrived at their destination just a little before dark. Here they were given head-quarters at the Isabella Hotel, and a fine place it is, too. Next afternoon, Wednesday, they went with Coach Olin to the Mt. Pleasant Normal Gym to draw, and oh, what a “humdinger” he drew. Lowell—last year’s champion of Class “B . At 8:40 p. m.. determined to win, they w’ent on the floor to play and when the final whistle blew they had won, 26 to 24. Captain Marsh and Weeks con- tributed heavily to the scoring, while Purdy and Wing were not far behind. As a result of defeating Lowell, they were to play Mt. Pleasant, who had won over Ionia, the next night. Experts and fans all agreed that the Hart team w’ould go home after this game, but again they were victorious, easily defeating this quintette by a 20 to 10 score. Purdy had his eye in the game and cashed in nine of the twenty points. Barton and Wing surely showed their aggressiveness by holding the Mt. Pleasant forw'ards to a low score. (Wing’s eye show'ed it.) Luck was again against the team for it was necessary that they play an extra game before getting into the finals. This was with the fast Greenville team, but Hart won 13 to 11. The Finals were scheduled for 8:00 o’clock and that gave the tired Hart team less than three hours of rest to go into the game with Alma, who had had twenty-four hours of rest. At the end of the first half Hart had the lead, 10 to 3, but the strength began to wane due to the afternoon game with Greenville and at the sound of the final whistle Alma had w’on, 16 to 13. Although Hart did not win the district championship they were selected as runners-up to go to Ann Arbor to the State Meet. This time luck w’as with them on the draw’ for they w’ere throw’n against Alma, who they were sure of beating under favorable conditions. This they accomplished in the first game by a score of 34 to 27. The next night they w’ere destined to play the strong Lake Linden team, champions of the Upper Peninsula. Somehow' the boys could not get the ball caged aft°r numerous tries at it and lost 41 to 19. Thus ended the most successful basketball season that Hart High School has ever had. Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah!

About twenty-four girls came out and this number continued through-out the season. We elected Fay Speese jus our Captain, whom we knew we could rely upon at any time. We could also depend upon her to play an A-l. game as forward. We did not forget Hazel Gobin, Wilma Childs, and Dorothy Davharsh were equally as good at that position. Then there were the centers, Jean Ida Me-Louth, and Sylvia Fisher, who never failed to do their part in making the team a success. They could play as fast and as fierce a game as their opponents. 1-ast, but not least, were the guards, Marion Dennert, Genevieve Wachter, Marjorie Hackett, and Ksther Cole. As much praise is due them as any members on the team. Most every one will agree to this if they witnessed any of the games. Although we lost some of the games, the girls felt better when they heard the basketball fans ray that the girls’ team this year was the best Hart High ever had. For this, our coach, Miss Gibbs, must be thanked, because of her diligent work with the girls. Mr. Chamberlain also helped coach the girls in the first part of the season. The games lost this year were due mostly to the lack of endurance. In every game we lost, except one game with Muskegon Heights and one with Pentwater, we were in the lead the first half, but failed to keep up the remainedr of the game. Although the team this year was good, we expect to have a better one next year, for we have some very promising material to fill any vacancies. —Marjorie Hackett Dec. 5—Hart 58, Hesperia 5, at Hesperia.

The Alumni made their only touchdown in the 3rd quarter. Both teams played a hard game and the High School hopes to beat them again on Thanksgiving day. HART—6 MUSKEGON RESERVES—7 On October 4 the team went to Mnskegon to play the Reserves. The Reserves made a touchdown in the 1st quarter and in the 2nd made two more. Hart’s line held them on line plunges but on end runs they could not stop them. Hart came back in the 3rd quarter and got a touchdown and neither side was able to do anything in the last quarter. HART—6 MANISTEE—7 Manistee came down on the 15th of October. They thought they were going to run away with our team. Hart scored in the 2nd quarter but failed to kick goal. Neither scored in the 3rd, but in the 4th Manistee made a touchdown and completed a pass over the line so Hart lost a hard game by one point. HART—15 LUDINGTON—7 We rent the team to Ludington on October 18. The roads were harder on them than the team of Ludington. The touchdowns were made by us in the 1st and 4th quarters and got a safety in the 2nd. Ludington got their touchdown in the 2nd quarter. HART—13 MUSKEGON HTS.—26 This game took place on October 25th. The Heights made a touchdown in the 1st and 2nd quarter and two in the 3rd quarter. Our team scored in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. It was a very hard game and there was a great deal of rough playing. HART—0. LUDINGTON—6 Ludington’s team came down to beat us and they succeeded in doing so. They made the only touchdown of the game in the first quarter. After that both teams played hard but scored nothing. HART—14 FREMONT—13 Fremont came here to beat us and nearly succeeded in doing so on the 8th of November. At the start we received and worked the ball down the field so quickly that in the first few minutes of play Hart had a touchdown. In the 2nd quarter Fremont made a touchdown by a long pass. They failed to complete a pass for the extra point and the half ended 7 to 8 in our favor. In the 3rd quarter our team made another touchdown and another one was made by Fremont in the 4th. The game ended with Hart one point ahead. — Concluded on page 70 m HART HIGH TRACK TEAM Back Row—Coach Leo Keene. Clair Shull. Marland Littebrant. Leland Bates. Edgar Barton. Albert McRae.

THE Track team was very successful for the green material that Coach Keen had to work with. The High School had not put out a track team for several years and thus the men were all new at it. The first meet was with Ludington, at Luding-ton. and Hart won by a large number of points. A few weeks later Ludington’s team came to Hart and again we were victorious. Coach Keene took a team to the State Meet which was held at Kalamazoo. The team being green and never having been at a large meet before. failed to place for the finals but gained a great deal of experience and pointers on track. The following men went to the State Meet: Bates,.Barton, Hodges. Lambrix and Shull. The following composed the team (as pictured) Coach Keene, Shull, Littiebrant, Bates, Barton.

FOOTBALL (Continued from page 67) HART—20 SHELBY—13 The important game of the season came on Friday, the 14th. Shelby made a touchdown in the 1st but failed to kick goal. In the 2nd quarter Hart kicked goal after getting a touchdown. The half ended thus. Shelby came back in the 2nd half and so did Hart, but Shelby managed to push a touchdown across and kicked goal. In the last few minutes of play Hart intercepted two passes and turned them into touchdowms. These also turned defeat into victory. HART—0. SHELBY—9 Shelby came to our fair city on the 21st of November. Hart received but the ball changed hands several times until the last part of the quarter. Shelby made a touchdown but did not kick goal. The 2nd quarter was uneventful but in the 3rd Shelby made a drop kick from the 20-yard line. In the 4th quarter Hart walked right down the field for a touchdown but lost it on a pass. HART—6 ALUMNI—0 The last game of the season was played on Thanksgiving day when there was a light snow on the ground so that the lines were obscured. Both teams played hard but the teamwork of the High School won over the weight of the Alumni. PRAYER OF A SPORTSMAN (Taken from Busy Bee Magazine Dear Lord, the battle that goes on through life I ask but a field that is fair, A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to give and to dare. And if I should win, let it be by the code, With my faith and my honor held high; And if I should lose, let me stand by the road And cheer as the winners go by. May my shouts be ungrudging and clear, A tribute that comes from the heart. And let me not cherish a snarl or a sneer, Or play any sniveling part. Let me say, “There they ride on whom Laurel's bestowed Since they played the game better than I.” Let me stand with a smile by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by. So grant me to conquer, if conquer I can. By proving my worth in the fray; But teach me to lose like a regular man And not like a craven I pray. Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high. Yea, teach me to stand by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by. Berton Braley This poem was found in the inside cover of a book entitled, “Football Days,” by Big Bill Edwards.
