JForrHtorfc uf Hi electors In the publishing of this Annual it has been the earnest desire of the entire staff to portray the humorous as well as the serious side of High School activities. In doing so we have re- ceived the hearty co-operation of the faculty and student body, for which we are truly grateful. We sincerely hope that it meets with your generous approval.

There's VVilda with a paint brush And Gladys with a pen. Wher’ere we go we’re in a rush To get to work again. There's Orlie B. and Dorothy C. And Emily and Thomas and Joe, While in betwixt and in between Comes Waters and R. E. (). Sometimes we listen to Windy’s fiddle, While Zip stumps Mac with a riddle. There’s Puffy and Rod and our own Jean, Who first in their classes are always seen, And Rip and Eleanor and Gerry Mills, With Harriet Fisher to cure all ills. So this is the history of our staff; If we gave any more we’d make you laugh. R. E. 0. and O. B. t Page Nine did many other pon the heads of In the latter part of the year 1917, Hastings High School became acquainted with a most in- teresting class. We entered school in the old red building, the last class which could do this. Throughout this year we were known as the noisiest and most alive class in the school. Early in the year we organized with Beatrice Sutton as president, Philip Potter as vice-president, Helen Sherwood as secretary and Emily McElwain as treasurer. Miss Coulthard and Mr. Ilartgerink were our faculty members. We suffered the usual fate of the freshman in many instances and learned that it was a “Long, Long Trail” to graduation. Perhaps others recognized this fact, as this was the topic upon which Beatrice Sutton spoke at the High School Banquet, where We were so well represented. Ve were successful in evading the upper classmen and having out Fre.sfrman.partv it Thorn pple CfeJce here all enjoyed a fine time. During this year we moved in February to thf flew tf ifldirig.

A ij (. 777 Our Sophomore year may well be said to have been one of political unrest, since several mem- bers of the class proved to be excellent arguers and it was hard to obtain much speed in our actions. After much consideration Harold McIntyre was elected president, Dorothy Herbert vice-president, Dorothy Collins secretary and Emily McElwain treasurer. Miss Coulthard and Mrs. Pelham were the faculty members who efficiently coached us during this year. We chose purple and white to tie our class colors throughout High School. Our class enrollment was one hundred. This year we were “On Second” as the splendid toast of Emily McElwain at the High School Banquet showed. In the latter part of the year, we entertained the freshmen at our class party w hich proved to lie a great success. This year was one of hard work and earnest deeds. Since it was the year of the war, we helped to buy a Liberty Bond for the school and took active part in all of the war work. At last as careful Juniors, we wandered back in the fall of 1919, some having dropped weary by the wayside but with fresh forces added from outside schools. This year Emily McElwain was chosen president, Dorothy Herliert vice-president, Dorothy Collins secretary', and Florence Schaffhauser treasurer. Miss Coulthard and Mr. Goodrich performed the difficult task of class advisors. Early in this year, we discovered that our class had much talent, some philosophers who could compete with Plato, musicians, debaters and politicians. We helped to sell Lecture Course tickets and made a gcxxl record. Class Athletes, Ixith boys and girls, helped to make Hastings known for its splendid sportsmanship. Harold McIntyre gave the toast “Vanity Fair’ at the High school banquet. At the annual Junior-Senior reception wre entertained the Seniors with our best. We chose our class pins and rings. The happy carefree day's were soon over and wre found ourselves in the fall of 1920, to lie the long desired, dignified Seniors. This year we organized with Plvnn Matthews president, Orlie Bishop vice-president. Mar- guerite Wood secretary and Gladys Hine treasurer. We chose sweet peas to lie our class flower and “Simplicity, Sincerity, Service” to lie the class motto. It was decided that as a class we would publish an annual. Orlie Bishop manager and the staff did much to make this a success. John Vester was chosen to represent us at the High School Banquet. Y IY WiY WiY ft 7IY TiY 78? 78 78? 78? life Page Ten !

His assistants, Mr. Howard and Miss DeYoe Believe in things all moving just so, No faults of theirs we seem to find, Their work shows thinking of great minds. In civics, Miss Mullie, in History, Miss Gill, Their classes are large and show work and skill, In Science Mr. Jones and Miss Hoekstra hold sway, Their work is enlightening, so learned are they'. In languages where thoughts come thick and fierce Miss Coulthard teaches l.atin, and French, Miss Pierce And in Agricultural lines which have no end, One stands alone in glory, Mr. Townsend. ii oe In the gym two rule 'most every day.

Mr. Dornbush in commercial work implies, “Please, watch your paper with your eyes,” M iss Arnold as his co-worker, Is a real teacher and no shirker. Miss Rysdorp teaches music, And Mrs. Pritchard is school nurse, Miss Fairchild in the library We admit they could be worse.

Page Twenty-Seven A PARABLE THE BEST GIFT In a vision, I beheld the angels as they watched over their children here on earth. They were very sad, for their children were alone, since they were no longer with them. In their sorrow’, the angels went before the King of Kings and said, “Oh, King, we are sad. Our children on earth have no one to care for them wnen they are tired, wounded, weary and sad. They are alone and need some one. Choose for us, yea for all mankind, the best gift that they may live their lives.” Then the King sent his messengers through all the gardens and heavenly cities to find the choicest gift. When they came back, one by one, the King was ill pleased with the things they had chosen. So then he called upon Mary, a woman on earth, and she brought forth the gift which pleased the King. The angels could not see the gift of Mary’s but they were sure it was a rare gem of surpassing value. At last they became anxious and asked the King what the gift might be. The King onlv smiled, and bade them watch the earth children. Only then did they see that the chosen gift was the bond of Love and Sympathy. Even then they did not understand and said to the King, “Tell us more about the gift.” “Every’ man shall have a brother, every woman shall have a sister, yea every babe shall have a comrade and this companion shall Ik? called a Friend,” replied the King of Kings. Then indeed were the angels well pleased and said,“We thank thee, () King, for a friend is the best gift that heaven can bestow' upon humanity.” Glad vs Hine ’21 REMINISCENCE Sometimes when you sit a-thinking And the soft waves lap the reeds, And you think your garden of ros s Is only a garden of w£eds, v ;Aiid you wonder, wfiep srinscjts derpW ()£. And you hear Uielooh’s Krw song „ If maybe you’ve caused Some heartache, Maybe you’re some in the wrong. Amf you iM Mj But we’ve made ourselves what we are, He gave us glorious freedom And our life—to make or to mar.” And some have taken His blessings And lived a life of good, And just why you didn’t follow Is something you’ve not understood. But back in the dim, dim passage Of fieeting golden youth, Someone showed you the path of wrong, And led you away from the truth. When the world has loved and scorned you And you’ve known lx th honor and shame. You bowed your head, and left it to Ciod To decide whether you were to blame. Forget that someone has wronged you, Forget that you’ve known disgrace. Swallow’ the sob that comes to your lips And look the world in the face. And so, when the sunset deepens And night’s soft shadow's fall, Across the w'aves comes a thrilling cry— The loon’s low quavering call. Then think of the one who wronged you And think what he’d only give To hear the loon at twilight, And know what it means to live. —Written by Sarah Wood.

I Themorningof September 10, 1018, found one hundred and forty future presidents and offi- n ils of the United States waiting in the assembly room of H. H. S. to embark upon their tonsorial (hair-cutting or hair-splitting) career After conjuring up our courage we called a class meeting and chose John Ketcham as our president, Kate Saunders, Charlotte Frandsen and Charles Ickes as other class officers. At this time we selected “Green Hut Growing” as our motto. The year was filled with many experiences of which the Carnival and the Sophomore-Fresh- man party were important events, and with our Freshman party as a fitting climax. The party was a grand success, and it permitted the upper classmen to show their “cutting” sense of humor. After a year's wading through Algebra, English, History and (usually) Latin most of us jubil- antly beheld our cards to learn that we had not passed out of the door, but into the door of “Wise Fools.” Although at this time a few of us did decide that we liked our sample of H. H. life so well that we should take five years to finish.

At the Carnival we presented “sweet” pro- ductions, both at our candy-booths and on the vaudeville. We, having never been green ourselves, recognized the first tints on the little Freshmen and we deemed it our duty as sophisticated Sophomores to wash this color off, so we gently bathed them in the court-yard fountain for which deed we were no “little’' recompensed. Hut the greenness seem- ed to stick in their heads, so wre obligingly tried to cut this color out. We had two delightful parties during the year and so, showing our kind consideration as us- ual, we did not begrudge the poor Freshmen their first party, but in our thoughtful way we not only let them have it but we revised the l i. ns. ‘menu” that it might better fit their youthful constitu- At the field meet we showed our all-around sportsmanship, carrying off the honors, and when we met the last of June for the last time together as Sophomores it was with a feeling of regret that we closed our splendid Sophomore year. Oh, yes, and after one memorable night we thought the Freshmen were cute little “shavers” so we decided that they were qualified to become Sopho- mores. August 31st found us stronger in numl er, entered as jolly Juniors (and by our reputation we seemed to have lived up to the name). At our class meeting we elected Frederick Parker as presi- dent to carry our ball to the line, and to make things complete Alice Rates was chosen vice-presi- dent and for chaperone, Kathryn Clarke and Madge Havens wrere elected, respectively, for secre- tary and treasurer. Parker and the class have not only carried the ball to, but over, the line in all athletics and de- bating, and by our greater prominence in high school life we have convinced those former Sopho- mores (now Seniors) that our motto “Green Hut Growing” is a thing of the past, for wearein full bloom and still “going hard.” We believe in the theory that “It Pays to Advertise,” and so for your information we will con- fidentially state that in our recent popular elect ion we made some astonishing discoveries. We unanimously decided that we are the most faultless, the fastest, the most beautiful and brilliant, the most original and progressive, the most chivalrous and gallant class that ever attendee! H. H.S. Page Thirty-One Page Thirty-Two mrnimm w.w. 'AJ.msfj. mmww.ww SOPHOMORES Page Thirty-Three Page Thirty-Four School life is just one—well, one grade after another. Because of this fact there was abso- lutely nothing for the pupils of the eighth grade to do in the fall of 1919 but to become Freshmen. Had there been we would have accomplished the feat no matter how difficult. Did we enter old Hastings High with timid glances, shaking knees and faltering feet? No! With heads up and chests out wre wended our way, one hundred thirty-five strong, to the assembly room and there we were. We came, we saw, we remained to conquer. And conquer we did. Under the leadership of our class officers, and with the help of Mr. Wallace and Miss McGuire, our faculty members, we of the gold and purple proved ourselves wor- thy of a place in H. H. S. In truth, as a class our outlook was very bright. Possibly for that reason “The Outlook” was given to Rol ert Walton for his toast at the High School Banquet where he so well represented us. Of course we helped with everything that came along by selling tickets for the Lecture Course and rushing madly around to scare up things for the fishpond at Carnival time. But the time that we really shone the brightest w'as that time when we “put it over” on the upper-classmen with our V’ .1 .1___C vW.I u. (A.. .. 'TV. ... . U U...I 1.11 I,.. picnic.

We returned about 8:30 after a most glorious day and when the Seniors found it was all over and done with—POOR THINGS! But as if mere Freshmen could get away with a thing like that! The following week those same Seniors wreaked their vengeance upon the noble sons of our illustrious class. . From the crani- ums of our classmates State street was literally covered with hair and each day the sad unfor- tunates were greeted with shouts of derision from the Sophs as they entered the session room, hair cut in most peculiar styles, while at night strange sounds testified that all remaining freshness was being washed away in Striker Memorial Fountain. But a Freshman never knows when he’s down. On the night of June 16, the night before Commencement, that day of days when each and every Senior wishes to look and feel his best, our Freshmen had their innings. Never will we cease to thank Weeber and Reynolds-barbers, who were the cause of one poor Senior’s going with shorn head to his graduation. As a Freshman class we more than fulfilled the expectations of the faculty and of our parents. ”History' repeats itself.” And so we have become Sophomores. But, believing with King Solomon that pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall, we have laid aside all gravity and have l ecome jolly, rollicking Sophs. In our endeavor to follow the teachings of this wise man we have incurred the disapproval of the upper-classmen and it was with surprise, though not with regret, that we learned that the Juniors thought us lacking in dignity and the Sen- iors thought us lacking in pride. However, sufficiently watched over and guided by our faculty members-Mr. Wallace and Miss Meyer-and so efficiently looked after by our class officers Gertrude Farrell, president; Frederick Hill, vice-president; Charles Switzer, secretary; and Greta Armbruster, treasurer-no wonder that the class of ’23 is bringing honor to Hastings High in basketball and on track and field as well as in the class room. So—Here’s to the class whose colors we wear, Here’s to the purple and gold, Here’s to our classmates w hose honors we share, And here’s to our athletes bold. Proud of successes won in the past The future no fears for us holds. All honor and praise to the .Sophomore class, Hurrah! for the purple and gold. Page Thirty-Five I | | I 1 I x $ I 1 1 1 1 “THE STATUE OF LIBERTY” In 1874, in the city of Kolmar, Alsace, (France) there lived a man named Frederic Bartholdi- He was a sculptor and a dreamer. He had won distinction and fame, largely through his statue of Lafayette which he had completed the year before. With him lived his niece Jeanne de la Rochelle whose mother and father had died when she was ten years old. They were great pals this man of forty and this maid of seventeen. Jeanne had long, thick, straight black hair which she still wore in two braids down her back. Her eyes were large, dark brown, and seemingly without depth, her lips, red and rather full. I ler complexion was a dark olive, and her features regular. Jeanne was not beautiful, but she had a celestial and inspired look ujx)n her face. She, like her uncle, was a dreamer. These two lived alone in the outskirts of the town, in a little house built in the sixteenth century, and were happy. Jeanne loved the old house and she loved the out-of-doors. She and her uncle used to go and sit for hours on the bank of the river, just dreaming dreams. Jeanne would think of her mother and of being under French rule once again. She could remember the time when Alsace had been French, but in 1871, the same time when the Third Republic had been established, it had been ceded to Germany after the Franco-Prussian War. Before her mother died, she used to tell the child that some day France would be a great republic like America, across the sea. She did not know that Alsace would not be included in it -but Alsace was French at heart and Jeanne was sure that some day it would be a part of the great French Republic. One day as Jeanne and Monsieur Bartholdi were sitting by the river, Jeanne said,“Uncle, do you think that the Americans appreciate their liberty as much as Alsace would?” “No, answered her uncle,“I don’t think any one can fully realize the joy of freedom unless he has been denied it. Probably the people who lived at the time of the American Revolution loved it as Alsace loves freedom. For the Americans, 1776 was a great year—yes, a great year.” someth Oh, uncle if we could only show the people how we French love liberty. Oh, can’t we do hing?” O “Why, Icansculpty h s; - ' ? V) (flQcf That s just the thing, you can mafei a iigdro m)resenting-W ert v, enlightening and illuminat- ing France and the United States—no, liberty enlightening the world. See, like this,” and Jeanne stood transfigured with face uplifted and ope arm held-high. “That’s it, Jeanne, and sca ;Uiii education, l ecause that helps so much. Pretend you have a book under your arm. There! that’s perfect, but,” and his face fell, “where are we going to get the money?” t “I’ve thought of that, uncle, the people of France and Alsace will give it, I know they will. We’ll go see the mayor now, shall we?” They went, and the mayor said that if the people of Kolmar would give the money he would let the mayors of the surrounding cities know their plan. Money was easily raised and so the project was put before the people of France. In five years, more than a million francs were raised. This money was put in the hands of the government and it authorized Bartholdi to make a huge statue, to be presented to the American people by the French. A small figure was made in clay with Jeanne as model. She had a crown on her head and a torch in her hand. The big statue was completed in 1884. It stood 151 feet from the tip of the torch to the heel. The index finger was eight feet long and the mouth three feet wide. The figure consisted of three hundred sheets of hammered copper which were to be riveted together over a skeleton of iron. The pedestal upon which it was placed on Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbor cost $250,(XX), and was raised by | opular subscription in the Uniter! States. I he statue was unveiled October 8, 1886. Jeanne and her uncle spent part of the money which he had gotten for making ir, to come to America to see the unveiling. When thev approach- ed it looked so small that Jeanne could hardlv believe it was the gigantic figure which her uncle had made. She and Mr. Bartholdi were the first ones to go into the head at the top of the spiral stairs in the inside. The whole of New York harlx r could be seen from there. If anyone should ask who Jeanne de la Rochelle was, no one would know, but it is due chiefly to her that we have the Statue of Liberty in New York harl or to-day. Jeanne and her uncle lived in America until 1902 when Mr Bartholdi died. In 1904 Jeanne married a Frenchman and they went back to France to live. When the World War came her husband went to fight for lilierty and she to nurse. She was wounded by the Germans and died with a peaceful look u|x n her face. She still had faith that her beloved Alsace would be a part of the Great French Republic which would win over Imperial Germany.

How eagerly we had looked forward to the entering of High School. Before, it had seemed like a rosy dream on the horizon of our greatest expectations. And to think that we really had passed over its threshold, to be received into the merry, bubbling, vivid High School life! It seemed almost too good to l e true. Now we Freshmen believe in doing things early to avoid the rush. So accordingly we had an early class meeting and chose our class officers. For class president we chose Veta Armbruster, vice-president Ruth Lindsey, secretary Beatrice Ayers, and yell master Clare Edmonds. Evident- ly, the idea of woman suffrage prevailed quite strongly in our class. Right off the start we actually grabbed Miss Hoekstra and Mr. Kyser for our faculty advisors. VVe chose blue and white for our class colors and the forget-me-not for our class flower. Later we had a partyjyt fye'gwn. While j ljv SpphWmore srood around, fairly green with en- in tshqfr eye$, we pkayecball softs of peppy games and vy, and eyeing us with a mpclievoualonging in vhufr eyes; we pfayecLall so had a jolly, good time. stunts of all description' fv all enjoyed qjjp hra and will rcuilember it tivity and fun. as a party of much ac- suggesting games and of I Then, to show our loyalty to oyr school, we helped to sell tickets for the splendid lecture course entertainments-,,jtpjfipfi nilPu TPiJ (IP' IfclPl ie entertainments,,. ttnjppft liiiVt '' ' ' niff- ‘7L In athletics we showed the (upperhterf that w wefehottletff! ories. For in our ranks were some whom we could be proud of, and they looked on in wonder at our wonderful ability. But we were loyal to our school as well as our class. In the High School games, the l resh- men showed their loyalty by turning out and lending their gentle voices to cheer and praise the school team, on which one or two Freshmen played. Even if we did get in the way sometimes, we yelled encouragingly, shrieked and fairly screamed. An 1 sometimes our voices became so hoarse that speech was very difficult. Then along came the first semester tests, to prove how much knowledge we had stored away for good use. You can imagine how this affected our che rful, buoyant spirits. The second semester started out with a bang for us Freshmen, only a few of our members l e- ing placed upon the casualty list of low marks and “cons” due to the half year exams. Really, when we look back upon our knowledge gained from last semester’s experiences it seems like a vast amount to us. So is it any wonder that we puff out our chests and stride along more boldly toward our goal of knowledge? But do not let us give you the wrong impression, that we are inclined to study all the time. Sad, though it is true, we have quite a few of, ’er well, “cut ups” or active ones in our ranks, whom it would not hurt to accumulate more of book knowledge. But, let us not discuss this rather pain- ful subject. . , To prove that we were still on the map of sports, we played a snappy basket ball game with Nashville Freshmen, and ran oft with it to the tune of 13 to 10 in our favor. But alas! when we met them on their own battle field, through the imperfect vision of the referee, we were defeated. Despite this defeat, we are proud of our team. And we feel sure that our boys will be heard of and known on the athletic field before they depart through the doors of Hastings High. To relieve somewhat the monotony of everyday school work we had a picnic at Hear Lake. And we certainly enjoyed ourselves immensely. Could you imagine an active bunch like us, not making things lively and snappy? Our faculty advisors accompanied us and kept the ball and sports rolling merrily. Some of our members proved to be true sons of Neptune, himself, when it came to water sports. , Thus far we have been successful in eluding the ever watchful Sophomores except in a tew unfortunate cases! And by this time we are beginning to lose some of our fear and awe of the wise upperclass men regardless of the fact that they do look down upon us and make us feel so small and insignificant. We know that in spite of the hardships we endure as freshies, our class will be heard of in the near future, and will be looked up to and praised.

Seven letter men were included among this number and with Captain “Rip Matthews at the helm the team looked fine. The schedule was excellent and much enthusiasm and pep was shown at the games. The bi-county championship was l eing competed for. The best game we played, although defeated, was with Holland; a cleaner, faster and more spirited game is inconceivable. The first game with Marshall was celebrated by a huge bonfire and a general good time on the school campus. The second game with Charlotte resulted in the poorest example of sportsmanship ever evidenced by an opponent of Hastings. The L. E. line-up was as follows: Frank Weeber R. T.

Square deal has been their aim in all of their games, that is why they have been so victorious. Our first game of the season was played with Nashville on our opponents’ floor, although our boys gave them some encouragement in the first half, in the latter part they showed their real superiority. Grand Rapids South next fell victim to our strong team and then Calvin College Preps. At the next game, however, which was played with Kalamazoo and on their floor, we lost, but we had been prepared to play basket ball, not football. Other games were played and won from Grand Rapids Catholic, Kalamazoo, Middleville, Nashville, Lake Odessa, Marshall and Lowell. Leaving the best to the last, with the champ- ionship of Barry and Eaton counties at stake, this game was played on the M. A. C. floor. Al- though we could still see signs of Charlotte’s unsportsmanlike play we won by a score of 26-20. A great deal of credit for our successful year in basket ball centers in Coach Eva’s fine train- At the end of the season the boys of the Hastings basket ball team were awarded sweaters the Rotary Club. mg. The Hastings line-up was as follows: R. F. Donald Joy L. F. Raymond Bachellor C. Keith Chase R. G. Frank VY’eeber (Capt.) L. G. Frederick Parker Sub. Carroll McGuffin Sub. Raymond Windeknecht Sub.

About thirty candidates appeared and a good team was practically assured. Captain Newton and the M isses McKnight, Ware, Brazee and Leffler, all last year veterans, were among those to answer the call. After some stiff practice the first game with Nashville was played. II. H. S. won over- whelmingly, 57-29. Then followed a series of the most remarkable victories ever won by a Has- tings girls’ team. Calvin College Preps, Middleville, Grand Rapids V. W. C. A., Nashville and Lowell succumbed to Captain Newton’s “fiery six. In the return game with the V. W. C. A the local girls lost their only game by the close score of 21-20. The girls did not get started until late in the game and had they continued play for five more minutes the victory would have been ours. To crown the triumph of the season the Charlotte girls were defeated on the M. A. C. fioor, 19-10, which gave Hastings the championship of the B. K. A. A. Much credit is due to Miss Beemon who coached the team during the season. It is very evident that the team was the best ever developed in Hastings’ circles. The support of the town was remarkable and the gym was always packed on basketball nights. As a fitting reward for their good work the Rotary Club, with their usual graciousness, awarded sweaters to the members of the team. The line-up for the season included: R. F.—-C. Newton (capt.) R.

Coach Kyser took charge of the meeting and outlined plans for the coming season. Four veterans of last year’s team—Kuempel, Joy, (Ireen and Chit- tenden—form the nucleus of this year’s promising nine. New uniforms add to the appearance and at the first practice the Hastings fighting spirit was very evident. Kuempel was elected captain of the nine.

EDITORIAL The greastest enigma to me is why people want to elope. At the movies one sees the hero caressingly clasp his loved one as she bravely slides down a rope, take an extremely heavy suitcase and then make a run for the car. You know instinctively that a note is left to discourage Papa from pursuing. By the time the irate Papa awakens to the fact that his daughter is gone, they are happily embarked on the matrimonial sea. There always is a kind, old, village minister to perform the ceremony. The last scene usu- ally shows them riding into the magnificent sunset with love fairly streaming from their adoring eyes, (headlights really wouldn’t be needed) and poor Papa is frantically pursuing. Now why do they do it? It is becoming quite the vogue now' for our young people to elope but, of course, they can’t do it nearly so picturesquely as they do in the movies. Really, many elopements aren't necessary at all. The trouble is, the young idiots believe there is opposition and I guess that inspires them all the more. It must be extremely romantic to escape through the dark and silent night with one’s adoring lover. Then again, how terrible one would feel to be entirely without ears! Yet the girls assidu- ously keep them concealed and great is their consternation if one of these appendages so much as dares to peep out at the world! To tell her that her nose was shiny would be much easier than to tell her that her ear was visible. Nowr wfhy is it? Also, a common “run” in any dear girl’s stocking wfould cause much embarrassment and dis- comfort. Now that the new lace or open work stockings with cartwheels are the last word, they wear them with virtue. Why do they do it? You see another sweet girl cut her hair to make bangs; she knowfs the fad will last but a few weeks. At the end of the few weeks she is filled with lamentations and is fairly sunk in the Slough of Despond. Woe be to the person who is not properly sympathetic! A boy will violently a d: )lu shingly deny a v interest ir£a girl J-o hisiamily (w hen he is six- teen or seventeen) but wht n sis or brother aren’t how changes! It is also worthy of note that his trousers haVe i knlf -blaije create and bnderful jndeea art his scarfs. Why does he do it? Why doesn't he want his family t6 know he likes hefr she dons a bathing suit'and a little, c hdffrfifig, tight bafftitt and''gambols in the surf, well knowing that, since there is a dance at the hotel in the evening, perhaps the rest of the afternoon will have to be spent in her boudoir with all sorts of masks and bleaching lotions. Eventually her unmatchable complexion is again ready to receive the homage due it, but why, oh why, do they do it? Such a bother for a little pleasure! During the day time a girl is generally conceded to be capable of retaining her balance either in standing or sitting without the support of arms,—or otherwise, but often in the evening when we walk in the park it is surprising how incompetent they become! Almost invariably we notice the presence of the arm. On a day of suffocating heat in the summer w'e see a girl with a large fur firmly fixed around her throat (to keep away the hurtful heat, we suppose), adorned, we could hardly say dressed, in a georgette blouse, a rather scant ruffle, and, no doubt high heels, walking virtuously down the avenue while all the “old” folks mop their fevered brows and wonder what the world is coming to. On a whole, “This world is so full of a number of things” that are so very funny and queer “that I’m sure we all should be as merry as kings.” -Ruth O’Connor. Pray do not think me miserly, Josephine; For can candy, books or flowers Measure love as big as ours, Josephine?

ORGANIZATIONS Page Forty-Nine CT mmmmwmwmmmm ' 7¥ 7¥ rt 7ift 8 7i V 7 i j SCIENCE CLUB The .Science Club of the Hastings High School was organized under the direction of Mr. Howard and Mr. Jones (of the Science department), for the purpose of promoting interest in scientific subjects not given in the regular course of class study. The Club has its date set for its meeting every month. Their meetings consist of a program, a social hour with refreshments, each part being carried out by a committee appointed for that purpose every month. The second month, a rabbit supper was enjoyed by every one at the home of one of its members. At one of these gatherings, Mr. Townsend, of the Agricultural Department, gave an il- lustrated lecture upon forestry, by using about seventy-five slides borrowed from the M. A. C. Mr. Jones also gave an interesting address upon his personal experience in the manufacture of beet sugar in Colorado. Mr. Wallace gave an excellent description of natural science as he saw it in Colorado last summer. Every member has taken an active interest in the Club and we have some very good talks. An especially good one was given by Miss Hine on the subject of “Radium.” The lectures are instructive and the social hour very’ enjoyable. The C lub has grown rapidly; starting with thirty charter members the first month, it grew to sixty-five members in six weeks, and since it has been limited to seventy-five members. The officers are: FIRST SEMESTER President ..........................Alfred Waters Vice-President John Ketcham Secretary . Lena Lipky Treasurer John Vester SECOND SEMESTER President Alfred Water Vice-President I.eon VVebstei Secretary John Vestei Treasurer Guy Culben Page Fifty wwmmmsummm AGRICULTURE CLUB With agriculture as one of the chief subjects taught in Hastings High, and with the enroll- ment of a large number in that course, many of the members were interested in forming an Agricul- ture Club, for the purpose of creating interest in agricultural subjects that were not included in the regular course. Mr. Townsend, who is at the head of that department, called a meeting of those interested and about twenty showed their interest therein. A constitution was drafted and accepted at a later meeting. A program committee is appointed for the year and some very instructive talks have been given by members of the club. Mr. Bennett, the county agent, has given two very helpful lectures to the Club. In connection with the program a short social meeting is held, and some very lively times have taken place. Also at this time refreshments are enjoyed by all. Officers of the Agriculture Club are: FIRST SEMESTER President Vice- President Secretary and Treasurer Clarence Cole Lowell Teeter Theodore Bush SECOND SEMESTER President Clarence Cole Vice-President Ronald Warner Secretary Lloyd Shroyer Treasurer.............. La verne Laubaugh Page Fifty-One THE HI-Y CLUB OF H. H. S. Ever since the annual meeting of the State Older Boys Y. M. C. A. conference last fall, in- terest was shown in having a Hi-Y Club in H. 11. S. With the idea in mind, the fifteen boys that attended the conference, with the aid of Mr. Dornbush as faculty advisor, and with the sup- port of Mr. Ehle, a club was organized. The standard and purpose of this Club is “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, the high standard of Christian citizenship.” Regular meetings of this Club are held every two weeks, consisting of Bible study and dis- cussion of school problems as well as having some entertainment. Very enthusiastic meetings have been held and it is planned to increase the membership, also to come in contact with other young men of the school. Officers of the club are: President Vice-President Chester Scott Plynn Matthews Secretary. Treasurer Maurice Sutton .. .Paul Olmstead Page Fifty-Two SOROSIS The need for further literary activities was felt and so this delightful club was formed. Many teachers of the faculty were interested and joined with the girls. About forty girls were in the club at first and more have joined. Very interesting meetings are held every two weeks at which programs, and sometimes refreshments, are enjoyed. Miss Emily McElwain, who was the first president, enter- tained the Sorosis very delightfully at a Christmas party. The evening was spent in dancing and receiving “funny” presents. f, m fa fafafawffafafafafafa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fafafa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa Page Fifty-Three GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB This club certainly lives up to its name. Miss Rysdorp has trained the club in part singing most efficiently. The girls meet every week and enjoy the social, as well as musical, part of it very much. Certain girls were chosen to sing a very clever song in cos- tume, Old Fashioned Garden” at a banquet. They were charm- ing and so was their rendering of the song. Much talent has been discovered. Pag,e Fifty-Four UKULELE AND GUITAR CLUB When Miss Mullie came here and organized the club, we were very en- thusiastic. In a short time we were able to give pretty fair imitations of Hawaii on our ukes and guitars. These drowsy melodies, mixed with some stimulating jazz, so captived people that many requests for us to play at partiesand other outside “'doings” came frequently. The club enrollment increased to about twenty-five mem- bers in a short time. Judging from public approbation, this club is about the most popular in High. It certainly affords its members an immeasurable amount of pleasure. Paf e Fifty-Five BOVS' QUARTETTE This organization has a wide spread popularity, and it is well deserved. The fellows—Windy, McGuffin, Joy and Powers—owe some of their popu- larity to their clever pianist. Miss Helen Sherwood, and to Miss Rysdorp. In the winter they put on a concert at Middleville and also one at Dowl- ing. The hit they made was instantaneous. At the High School Banquet they gave several snappy numbers and they have calls to sing at many places. In imitating the melodious Southern darky songs we’ll back them against even the original Dixie Jazz singers. We had some of this at the “Minstrel Show” and say—it was great. mm?h Page Fifty-Six DEBATING TEAM W ith public speaking offerer! as a subject in H. H. S. for the first time this year, it was only right that debating should be part of the course. Hastings High does everything well and the excellence of this team is an honor to the school. A preliminary contest was held to pick the team, and those chosen to represent Hastings were the Misses Aline Cross, Florence Schaffhauser and Kathryn Clark. Mr. Chester Scott tried out and was accepted but his throat troubled him and so Miss Clark took his place. In the debate on a State question some very- good points were brought out with the result that two were tied for second place. The State is divided into four debating districts and all schools of the League debate each year upon the same question. A series of elimination contests is conducted, consisting first of a local contest, followed by district contests. The two winning teams in the final inter-district contest meet for a grand final debate. We have l een represented by a very' able team that has been coached by Miss Myer and M iss Dunn, of the English Department. Below is a record of the opposing teams that our team has met and the respective points scored: Hastings Dec. 3 Charlotte Affirmative 4 points Dec. 17 Middleville Affirmative 4 points Jan. 21 Zeeland Negative 1 point Feb. 4 Albion Negative 0 points let. 18 Leslie Affirmative 4 points Page Fifty-Seven mmm HISTORY The Barry County Normal has been established in Hastings for sixteen years. It long has had the reputation of being the largest C ounty Normal in the State of Michigan, having graduated more students than any other C ounty Normal of the State. 1 his year s class numbers twenty- five. The County Normal is found in the Central building and consists of two rooms. The Normal room proper and the Critic room made up of thirty-two children from grades one, three and five. The children of this room are used for observation, demonstration work and practice teaching. The Course which is outlined by the State Department of Education consists of a thorough review in all academic branches that are taught in the rural schools, together with the best methods of teaching those subjects. In addition to these are given thorough courses in pedagogy and psychology. The students also receive instruction in library work, play-ground activities, and the organ- ization and carrying on of clubs in the rural communities. Thus the student teacher enters upon her work in the rural district equipped with a theoretical knowledge and practical experience that will enable her to teach most efficiently the boys and girls w ith whom she comes in contact there. Also each student does twenty-five hours of practice teaching under supervision. THE COMMERCIAL COURSE Oh, it’s typeing and dictation, Economics—all the rest! Goodness gracious! Pesteration I can’t do it, I’ll be blest! Oh, it’s debits and its credits. Balances that won’t come right, And it’s English—have you read it? And it’s work with all your might. Mayblle Hart SUNRISE The sky was of a most beautiful hue When the sun rose in the east. The grass was all covered with dew- And the birds had wakened from rest. The cocks were noisily crowing, The people in slumber still lay, A factory whistle somewhere was blowing —And it was day.

WO rv the OVERSLEPT “Oh-hum!” grunted l)ig Jim Davis, as he sleepily listened to his mother, who was calling him to breakfast, “I’ll lx down in just a minute,” he finished as he lazily stretched and rolled over in the bed, yawned, blinked his eyes, and then, because he had studied late the night before, he quietly slipped off into dreamland again. Mrs. Davis busied herself about the kitchen for perhaps ten minutes and then, as no Jim had appeared, she started to call him again, but thinking better of it she did not. “He’s been getting awful careless alxmt getting up,” she soliloquized, “I guess I”1I let him sleep. He will lx late to school but maybe after this heal remember to get up.” Thus it happened that Jim, the lx st baseball pitcher on the high-school team, and also the hardest hitter, quietly slumbered until nine o’clock, when he was awakened by the sound of the school bell summoning the pupils to study. It is wonderful how quickly a boy can change from a lifeless lump, quietly sleeping, into a very lively combination of muscles, sinews and nerves. Like a huge steel spring, Davis jumped from the bed, a lean, sinewy arm grasped a shirt, another, a pair of trousers and, in less time than it takes to tell it, he was hastily pulling on his clothes. 11 is socks went onto his feet like a flash, his feet fairly flew into his shoes and then, “Haste makes waste,” he jerked at a shoestring so vigorously that it parted with a low snap. Frantically he searched for another but none was to be found. Then, with less haste he took his collar and tie and went down the stairs two steps at a time with the-loose end of his shoestring rattling along on the stairs. He washed hurriedly, in his haste splashing water in every direction, intent only on getting ready for school in the least possible time. As he finished washing his mother stepped to the door and said, “Your breakfast is ready, dear.” “Oh, hang the breakfast, I ain’t got time to eat this morning,” said Jim as he struggled with a stublK rn collar button. “But my dear,” said Mrs. Davis, “you must eat, you know that if you don’t you may lose to- night’s game, and you told me yourself that if Rockford lost that game Windsor will get the county championship.” Mrs. Davis had thrown the right card and she knew it. Jim would never do anything which would lessen his ability to pitch. “Well, I suppose 1 might as well eat as long as I’ll be late to school anyway,” replied Jim. But for all that he hurried through a very light meal and then started for school. As soon as he stepped onto the sidewalk his shoestring, which you will remember was broken, came loose and the tin end rattled on the walk. After trying to fix it he decided to go down to the shoe store, which was about two blocks from the school house, and get a new string. As he was leaving the store, he saw' some candy displayed in the window of a pool-room and candy store which w'as just across the street. He decided that candy would taste very good to him, for he had eaten a very small breakfast. So, crossing the street he w'alked into the store. As he w'as selecting the kind of candy that he wanted Bill Erskine, who by the way wras knowm to spend more time playing pool and gambling than studying, came from the back of the room, where the pool tables were, and noticing his classmate he stopped and said, “Hello, Davis! Are you alxiut ready to go up to the old knowledge factory?” “I’m all ready to go. Here have some candy,” he exclaimed as they left the store. “I should say I would,” returned Bill as he reached into Jim’s pocket for the candy. At that very instant Principal Watterson of the high school strode out of another store and met the two boys. . For a single fleeting instant his face showed disapproval of this apparent friendship between two boys, for he had a very high opinion of Jim and a very low one of Bill. Nevertheless, he smiled and said, “(iood morning boys, don’t you realize that you should be at school instead oi spending your time in a poolroom?” “Yes Sir,” replied Jim, ’’but we weren’t spending our time there. I only went in to get some candy.” “Well, that may be,” answered the principal, “but still I must form my conclusions on the circumstantial evidence,” and he passed on down the street. . “I wonder what he means about circumstantial evidence,” asked Jim. Bill said nothing, in fact, he seemed entirely changed after having met the principal. He knew he had done wrong and he also knew that Mr. Watterson knew that he had been playing pool. All that day Jim’s thoughts were divided between two things, the county championship game after school and what Mr. Watterson had meant by “circumstantial evidence.” At the close of school he learned alxmt lx th. He w'as told to make up time after school for skipping the first and second hours and spending his time in a pool room with a boy who was Page Sixty-One - known to play pool. “So that was what Mr. VVatterson had meant by circumstantial evidence, he thought. He also learned that because he had to stay after school he would not get out in time to pitch the game. He sat in a daze as school was dismissed. Several of his team-mates came and tried to console him but he sent them away with earnest pleadings to play their best and win if possible. When Reese, who was to take his place in the box, came up from the dressing room, he gave him a little advice and finished with, “Look out for their center fielder, Boyer. A high fast in- curve is the only thing that he can’t swat. And when he connects with a ball, look out! Slowly the minutes dragged on, the school house was deserted save for a few teachers who were busy with their work. Jim tried to read, but he could not keep his mind from the game. Five minutes gone! It had seemed an hour, ten minutes, and that was like a year, but at last after what seemed centuries the hands of the clock pointed to four-thirty. “All right Davis,” called Mr. Watterson, “you may go now, but remember that school is more important than pool.” “But I wasn’t playing pool,” returned Jim hotly, “I only went down town to get a shoestring and then I wanted some candy, so of course I got some, and if you want to think that I played pool simply because Bill Erskine walked out of the store with me, why iust think so. You can’t do any more harm than you have already done,” he added gloomily. All that year he had looked forward to pitching this championship game and now—slowly he left the room, almost sobbing. Slowly he made his way toward the ball-grounds. As he came within hearing distance he could hear the thunder of cheering which could mean only one thing—that Rockford had a runner on bases. He stopped, pulled out his watch, glanced at the face, and then ran, for the game had been going fully an hour and a half and it must be nearly finished. As he was about twenty rods away he saw, over the heads of the people, soaring, climbing ever higher, a thin, white streak which he knew was the ball. Then it began to drop, slowly, gradually it curved to the earth just as Jim, panting with the sudden exertion, rushed upon the field. Thunder broke loose from the Rockford rooters. Slugger O’Connell was turning second base, and speedy Clammer, the fastest base runner in the school, was racing for home, while the ball, speeding like a bullet was coming from center field. All eyes were on Speedy Clammer as he sped plateward, every muscle straining in his race with the ball. He was twenty feet from the base, fifteen, ten, his body shot forward in a beautiful slide, his feet reached for the plate. At the same instant the ball cracked in the catcher’s mitt. As the dust cleared, the umpire called “Safe.” A shrill, shrieking, high-pitched yell! The rooters threatened to destroy their throats in one long revel of baseball-madness. Shultz had stepped to the plate and struck out before the cheering ceased. What happened? Jim asked of a nearby school-boy. “What happened!” replied the humorous urchin, “Land sakes chile, ain’t you done got no sense? Why we're tied at the end of the ninth inning.” “Come on here you delinquent,” said Captain Shrontz, “get in and pitch.” “Why, I didn’t think I would get here early enough to pitch and I haven’t got my suit on,” said Jim. “Never mind the suit, put on Larne's shoes and pitch, Reese did pretty well for a sub but he’s tired out. With you in we’ll beat them in another inning, so you don’t need your suit.” Like one possessed, Jim sprang for Larrie’s shoes, hastily put them on and ran to the pitcher’s box. Mead was the first man up. Jim knew Mead was a |xx r hitter, nevertheless he used all his skill but not his speed for he had not warmed up and did not want to throw a speed ball first. The batter struck out. The next knocked up a short fly to second and was out. The next man up was Boyer, the center fielder, the best hitter on the Windsor team and he was followed by two batters almost equal to him. If he got to first, he might score. Slowly Jim wound up, his arm snapped out and the ball shot straight and true as a plumb line for the plate. It was almost shoulder high, fast, with a very slight incurve. It was the only ball that could fool Boyer. He let it go by. “Strike one,” called the umpire. Again Jim threw that same ball, again Boyer watched it pass. “Strike two. W ith all his skill and speed Jim threw the next one. It was fast, a mere, thin, glancing streak. It was that same high incurve, the only ball that Boyer was not almost sure to hit safely. He swung at it. His bat met it but not squarely, and a slow, easy, grounder rolled to the shortstop who quickly snapped it to first. Three men out on nine pitched balls. The rooters cheered and howled as the teams changed sides. Welch, the first man up for Rockford bunted and by fast running beat the throw. The next Page Sixty-Two sacrificed and Welch sped to second. The next bunted down the first base line, advancing Welch to third. A man on first and third, one man out and Jim Davis at the bat. ‘‘Here goes your old game,” shrieked a shrill voiced rooter. The Windsor pitcher threw' an incurve with all his speed but Jim met it sqaurely. His bat cracked, the ball lined far over second base, over center field, and then began to drop. The runners sped around the diamond. Welch scored just as the ball fell, a rod ahead of the speed- ing fielder. A home run! Davis fairly Hew around third base as the fielder threw, but the hard game had told on Boyer’s arm. The ball fell short by inches not feet, but it was enough to let Jim slide home. Before the cheering had ceased, the next batter was on first but a quick double play finished the game. The game was won. The cheering was deafening. Jim Davis had won the game for Rock- ford and he was cheered and cheered until the rooters were hoarse. As the cheering ceased, Mr. Watterson stepped up to Jim, “I owe you an apology,” he said, “Mr. Erskine told me how it was but at any rate you w'on the game.” “Yes Sir,” replied Jim “but the other fellow's must have played mighty hard to make it last long enough so I could. But as for making up time after school I had that coming to me anyw'ay for I—ah—I overslept this morning Sir.” ____________ Morris Bliven.

Florence Schaffhauser went to Loppenthien’s store to buy a hair net; the girl with her was admiring the display of organdies and talking about graduation gowns. Leon Webster, who is a clerk there, came up at this moment and said, “What are you going to wear for graduation dresses?” Florence turned and said, “Hair-net, please.” Father asked, and his voice was stern. So that she sank back in fright; “When did that Senior leave Who sent in his card last night?” “His work was pressing, father dear, And his love for it was great; He took his leave and went his wray, Before a quarter of eight.” Then her dimples twinkled merrily And her bright eyes brighter grew, “Surely ’twras no harm to tell him that,” she said “For a quarter of eight is tw'O.” m Page Sixty-Three Page Sixty-Four Fiet ures Tell The Whole Story THAT’S WHY IIE MASON STUDIO Portraits Amateur Finishing Groups Enlargements Carry the idea of QUALITY Our Two Fads Babies and amateur work.

Gould g Largest General Insurance Agency in Barry County 1 Phone '2172 Hastings, Mich. Page Sixly-Nine m ri mm ft ns THE MYSTERY OK CHINATOWN San Francisco was blossoming forth in all of her exotic beauty when William Manning Phelps awoke. It was a bright, sunny morning and the odor of rose trees was borne in through the open windows. He rang for his valet and as soon as he appeared, began cursing him assiduously. His night's debauch had left behind it an unpleasant companion—a headache. lie was very unreasonable and John, the valet, even though he was a Chinaman, was finding it exceedingly hard to be agreeable. His wonderful estate, Morningside Height, was just beginning to stir and when he had finally finished his breakfast, he walked to the window and was gazing out at the pleasant grounds sur- rounding his imjxising mansion. While he was thus engaged, the valet brought him a telegram. It was cryptic and very mysterious and its contents were: Remember what hap[ ened to the monkey that tried to pick chestnuts out of the coals? Information 1054. An amused smile fled across his face and he rather carelscsly crumpled the message. He summoned John and asked him if the messenger boy had gone yet. The Chinaman replied, He went vellv fast. ‘Oh, just as I thought: a private messenger,” Phelps murmured. On a certain block in San Francisco, a modest little manicure shop flourished. The gii owned it, Peggy Hite, was as beautiful a girl as one could find. She was a symphony of brown, pink, and white. Often of late Phelps had practiced dropping into this little shop and often when he felt rather dull, he w'ould take her out to dinner and for a long ride afterward. These trips were always safe because they never went to the places frequented by his friends. He had no dishonor- able intentions toward her but he was merely fascinated by her evident admiration for him and so he kept on taking her out. This was to end disastrously for both of them. Peggy had no relatives except a man she called “Dad” and she didn’t see him very often be- cause she roomed with another girl. This man, Phelps had seen but once and he had been impress- ed that her Dad” was a sort of gorilla man. To say that her “Dad” idolized her puts it mildly. When Peggy found out how much she liked Phelps, she tried to hide the fact and refused to make any more appointments with him. She knew his social position and also that society re- puted him to be engaged to a girl w ho was at present traveling in Switzerland. II For the last few months the papers had been full of robberies and no one had been able to trace them. The leader of the gang showed superhi man ingenuity in planning his raids and many large rewards were out for him. Once this gang had I een partially traced to Chinatown, the city’s worst criminal center, but from the blank faces of the ( elestials, the officials could gain no information. The devious underground world of Chinatown was inaccessible to the police and so the hunt had partly abated. One of the heaviest losers was the father of Phelps' fiancee. For some queer reason, Peggy had become very fond of some of the underground “Chinks” that she had seen come to her dad’s house when she was small. They always came on some mysterious business and always came at night. Because of her kindness, many of them were her faithful slaves. Ill Phelps knew instinctively that this strange message referred to Peggy because he had re- ceived one before this that had dealt with the same subject. Disregarding the message, he casu- ally dropped in at Peggy’s shop that evening just before closing time and it seemed to him all through his stav, that hostile eyes of terrible intensity were glaring at him. This impression grew on him so forcefully that he couldn’t quite rid himself of the feeling: so he left her earlier than usual. Upon arriving at his home, John told him that a friend living on the other side of Chinatown in the artists’ quarter, had left word for him to come immediatley to his house as he had some im- portant business to discuss. Phelps had John call the chauffeur, only to be told that both cars were out of running order and couldn't be ready for use before two hours at the least; so he started out on foot. Some presentment of evil permeated his mind and he thought that once a dodging figure dart- ed across from one tree to another. At last he was in the middle of Chinatown: the Celestials regarded him with unfathomable eyes. He crossed over to another street and was buttoning his coat more tightly about him, be- cause the evenings can get quite chilly even in California, when the side walk seemed to open up and close over him. He wras stunned by the fall and when he became conscious of his surround- ings, he also noticed that this dark, dank, hole fairly reeked of opium smoke and stale air. h inal- !y a door opened and several Chinamen carried him into a large room. Let me describe this room. It was hollowed out of the earth and the sides were of stone. There was a queer mixture of rare Turkish rugs and tapestries hanging on one end of the room. A- long the walls were arranged tier upon tier of berths or bunks with curtains. By the side of these bunks were small stands containing the long, black, opium pipes and the opium. Most of the bunks contained a Chinaman far off in the land of opium dreams. A large table stood on the ground floor and around it many Chinamen were sitting and it was evident that they had been gambling until Phelps' entrance. They all gazed silently at him. He felt a thrill when the Page Seventy I The Children The children of today will be the men and women of tomorrow, doing the world’s work as best they can. Isn’t it important that they be given as much training as possible to perform the tasks sure to be assigned them? Of course. You prove this by sending the youngsters to school.

The smoke and stale air made him faint. Suddenly, a hidden door opened and Peggy’s “Dad” came into the room. Somehow his entrance .did not seem the least incongruous with the surroundings and situation. He walked up to Phelps and glared at him belligerently. How his evil little, gorilla eyes sent the chills up his spine! A light suddenly dawned through Phelps’ brain. “You sent me that message?” he asked. “Yes, and if you had paid attention to it, young man, you might have saved your life,” Hite answered with fairly good English. “Now you can have your choice,—death or marriage to Peggy.” As Phelps regarded him in stupefied astonishment, Hite said, “You know my littlegirl has fallen for your airs and graces and, mind you, she didn’t tell me this, but I know, and what she wants, she gets if I can help her.” “But I am already engaged,” Phelps answered. “I like Peggy, of course, but the course you mention is impossible.” At a look from the man before him, he knew how little such a thing mattered and so he was silent before the man’s abuse. Hite turned to speak to a Chink and by the tone of his voice and the quick, shuffling gait of the man, Phelps concluded that some command had been given. In a few minutes, this same Chink returned with Peggy. She gazed wonderingly around. You see, in order to get her to come, the Chink had been instructed to tell her that Phelps wanted her immediately. So, trustingly, she had followed the man Lee Sing. IV When the entire night had passed and Phelps had not arrived at his friend’s house, and hadn’t left word with John that he was going anywhere else that evening, alarm was given to the police- men because John remembered the strange message of the morning and his master’s actions, and he feared his master had met with foul play. Donoghan, the chief of police of Chinatown happened to see Peggy and the Chink enter a mysterious doorway, or rather crack in the wall, and was immediately suspicious that so beautiful a girl would be in such a place. Also he had been on the alert for false movements around this place for some time, so he ordered a raid on the place. Ordinarily, when previous raids had been pulled off, the place had been a very busy, respectable, laundry. Just at the moment when Hite and Phelps entered into their conversation, Peggy came into the room and stopped in astonishment when she saw Phelps. She looked inquiringly at Hite and said, “What does this mean. I was told he wanted me but I didn’t expect to find him in such a place.” Hite walked over to her and said, “If you want him now, he's going to marry ye,” coarsely. A painful blush spread over her face and she cried, “Oh! what a mistake you have made, of course I don’t want him! VY'hy have you done this awful thing?” Her “dad stopped in his tracks as though he were shot and it was plain to see that he had thought he was doing something for her happiness. At this moment a fearful banging was heard and in an instant the aspect of the room was changed. It became the very respectable and industrious laundry. Phelps and Peggy were bustled away. He didn’t see which way she was taken but he was put in a secret room where he could neither hear or sec what was going on in the room he had just left. When at last he broke out of the room, it was a scene of confusion that met his eyes and the room was practically emp- tied of Chinamen. A strong smell of powder was in the air and to his horror, he found Hite ly- ing on the floor dead. Now a sudden realization swept over him. He knew now how very dear Peggy was to him and in haste he started to hunt for her. In the excitement of the raid, Hite had hidden Peggy in his secret store room and while there, she had discovered a strange and gruesome fact. Either the evidence of the room lied or else her “dad was honest, for everywhere in the room were piles of loot. Much of it answered the descriptions of the l ooty taken by the robbers as described by the papers. Supposing Hite was the robber chief!! By this time, after bumping around in the dark, underground, passages, Phelps reached the storeroom. When he pounded on the door, a faint hail answered him so ne broke the door. He rushed to Peggy and seized her in his arms. There wfas very little need for w'ords. It was now that he told her of his love and later, he had to tell her of Hite’s death. After a while, Peggy proposed that they should set Hite’s papers and other affairs to rights before they left; so while they were looking through his papers, they came across a San Francisco paper of tw’cnty years back. Across the front was emblazoned, “Mysterious Disappearance of Peggy Marchland, Daughter of Lord Marchland, Age Two Y’ears. Large Reward.” Then fol- lowed the details of her appearance, etc., and below it a picture that looked exactly like the one Peggy Hite had in her locket. Peggy Marchland had been in the park with her nurse and had suddenly disappeared and that was all the information the sorrowing parents could give. C ould it be possible that Peggy Hite was the Peggy Marchland? Feverishly they searched hrough his others papers and at last they unearthed an old diary.

I’m not going to claim the reward.” With this indisputable evidence, Peggy began wondering about her parents. She was glad that Phelps had proposed before this good fortune had come to her, because she knew' he wanted her for herself alone. . It just happened that Phelps knew' a Mr. Marchland and by inquiry- they found the office and as soon as Lord Marchland, or Mr. Marchland, as he preferred to be called in this country, saw her, he sprang to his feet and wondered if his eyes deceived him. Peggy, without a word, handed him the diary and the paper. All of Mr. Marchland's hesitance was shattered and he gathered her into his arms. After calling his wife and telling her the news, he turned to Phelps with a spec- ulative gleam in his eyes and said: “Well, just what is your interest in my daughter? Whatever it is, now that we have her back, you’ll have to wait some little time, young man.” were singing and the world was bright and happy and Peggy was just twenty j.

This last year had been the happiest of her life and in two weeks she would be Phelps’ bride. They had agreed that there should be no publicity al out Hite because he had been good to Peggy. Society fairly whirled around the whirl-pool created by the “talented and beautiful young Mrs. Phelps” and she was glad because it made her husband proud and happy. The police found the loot stored in the den but strange to say, they never connected Peggy with Hite and with the fall of this den. Almost all of the other gangs dissolved because their master chief was gone. _________________________________________ R. E. O.

I hose who carry out the directions are assistant executives—stenographers, secretaries, accountants, bookkeepers, confidential assistants. As changes take place or as the business expands, these assistant executives inherit or grow into higher executive and administra- ve positions. BUSINESS WANTS TO KNOW Employers don’t want to give you a min- ute of their time unless they feel reasonably certain you have most of the qualifications they need. And they don’t want to take your word for it. The world is full of “I-T H 1 N K-I-can- do-its.” Business hires for the future. It refus- es to guess. Business wants to KNOW. 1 low You Can Be One Every year hundreds of young people—some high school grad- uates and some with only a grade school education—come here to prepare for just such positions. They come wholly unfit for positions like these. Yet they leave a few months later with a greatly increased earning capacity. They are able to enter any line of business. They can go to any city in the United States and get a good position. What these hundreds of young people have done—and are do- ing—YOU can do. You can prepare for positions like these— l oth in Civil Service and in business. YOU can create a big demand for your services. You have only to enter this school of business and follow to success the path which thousands of young men and women have taken. Special Summer School The Michigan Business and Normal College is in continuous session during the summer months Several young people are planning now to begin their training here immediately after the close of the Public Schools in June. We are constantly organizing new classes of future executives. Join one of these classes at the earliest possible moment.

The Seniors were discussing class pictures for the “Emanon.” Mac arose, with a digni- fied air, and said, “It is very necessary that Mr. Mason gets the sizes of our heads uniform. Gerald Mills—“I wish I could revise the alphabet.” Marie Waring—“Why, what would you do?” Gerald—“I would put ‘U’ and T closer together. has s A cute little Senior named Fisher Went fishing from the edge of a fissure. A fish with a grin Pulled the Fisher girl in. Now they’re fishing the fissure for Fisher. Mr. Eva—“My! My! what are you doing out in a rain like this! You must be a rain dear.” Miss Gillettte—“If I’m a rain dear, you must be a rainbeau.” This is the day of auto-urbans and motor-buses, but Mr. Townsend, our progressive teacher started a wheel-barrow special. Miss Robson was the honored guest on the first trip. Lura Ware—“Would you like to take a nice long walk?” Batchy—“I’d be glad to.” Lura—“Then don’t let me detain you.” THE STYLUS We are told in ancient history That exasperated students With their stylus stabbed their teacher For a very small imprudence. Namely, that he gave a lesson That was very hard to get, And t hat every one got angry And they killed him, you can l et. Thank your lucky stars, my teachers. That our pencils are not sharp, Or you’d now be sporting halos And l)e thrumming on a harp. Page One Hundred Page One Hundred One Page One Hundred Two
