- jZe U iAluirL. Class History On the afternoon of September ii we, the Freshman Class, entered Hart High for our first time. There were about 77 students altogether, many having come in from the country schools. After a few weeks of wandering around the building and getting ourselves acquainted with the routine of Hart High, we were called together for our first meeting. Mr. Benjamins was chosen class adviser. The following class officers were chosen: president, Jean Marie North- rup; vice-president, Gene Boundy; secretary, Allen Crosby; treasurer, Joyce Kludy. The social event of the year was the freshman party given in April. It was well attended and enjoyed by all. It was a great success due to the orchestra, refreshments, decorations, and the committees in charge. Altogether, we had a very successful year and are ready to take our next step as Sophomores.

TA f lcAZuui- COUNTY NORMAL In December the following class officers were elected; Effie Stanford of Shelby, president; Francis Schihl of Shelby, vice-president; Ethel I- ' orter of Shelby, secretary; and Everett Ingalls of Hesperia, treasurer. The various high schools represented in our group are; Hart, five; Shelby, five; Montague, five, Hesperia, two; Whitehall, one; Walker- ville, one; and Pentwater, one. We have enjoyed our work here this year, and we are much indebted to our teachers, Miss Landon, critic; Miss Becker, instruction; and Miss Stout, music. We have also had the benefit of various lectures. Miss Evans and Dr. Sears, of the Children ' s Fund of Michigan, have spoken on health problems. The Michigan Department of Health has presented us with a course of lectures by the following speakers; W. J. Meyers; Emily Ripka, M. D.; William R. Davis, D. D. S. ; LaRue Miller; Elizabeth Whipple; and Pearl Turner. The movies and grade assemblies have also been a great help to us. Mr. Meisch supervised a first-aid demonstration by the boy scouts, which was interesting. The social side of County Normal experience has been taken care of in various ways. We were entertained at a Halloween party given by Ruth Pearson and Effie Stanford. The critic room children entertained us at a lovely Saint Valentine ' s party, and in return the Normal gave an Easter party for them. We also attended a lecture at Shelby, Waters That Run to the Sea, given by Ben East, the noted out-door editor of the Chronicle. We are anticipating an enjoyable skip-day trip before we graduate on May twenty-second. We separate, hoping that we shall be teaching next year.
