'I N w h 0 5 1 History' of Our High School i ? 5 5f'5 ? 5'jAjI-TREE years ago it was voted to sell bonds, amounting to Sl20,000 IE: jg in order to build a new high school. VVork was started immedi- Qdij :EQ ately and in celebration of the commencement of the excavating fij we held a big party ending up with a parade down town. i 5 5 5 i 5 5jfj The corner-stone was laid on the last day of December, l9l3. 21 Q Q? Mr. Diekema gave the principal address. During the following '5' 'T' 4, VE, summer work was rushed on the building, in order to have it '5',,,,N, 'I' ready for the opening of school in September. Unexpected de- lay prevented the completion of the building until December. Tn the meantime we were forced into crowded quarters in the old building. The 'I' A o ! i f !' change was a very, very welcome one to those who had been eager to be in a really up-to-date high school, The present Seniors have .had only a year and a half oi enjoyment in the new building, but the most has been made of the time, nevertheless. Cn Arbor Day of 1914 the time was spent in beautitying the grounds. Shrubbery and trees have been set out at various points, and this year the lawn has been improved and several more trees planted. A large place is being fixed on the south side of the building for the tennis courts. About the middle of this year a change occurred in the Principalship, Prof. Drew taking the place of Prof. Gilbert, who resigned to accept a position with the De Pree Chemical Co. Vlfe feel very much honored by Mr. Fell, our Wforthy Superintendent, who was offered the position of Superintendent at Kalamazoo, but refused the honor and remained with us. 5 I.

Class History 3 5 5 5 5 7 3 5'OX7Xf at the close of our High School life we the Seniors of 1915, S lv Z3 1 E4 look back with joy and sorrow over the last four years. VVe ,QI .f. joyfully welcome the thoughts of our good times and of friend- ? ships gained with our instructors, as well as with our fellows, Zwwnwwzgg but we cannot help but sense a feeling of regret when we realize .gf ' ' that all this has ended and our individual interests from now on jg . ,QQ will be divided. 3, ji ' The memory of our hrst year when we were green Fresh- .Z. iesv always brings a smile to our faces. How ludicrous we must '?'5 f Z '5 3 3 f have looked! How foolish and ignorant we felt, as we stalked about the building assuming a lordly appearance, but really shaking in our boots! VVith what reverence we did look up to the Seniors and how grateful we were if they should condescend to smile upon us! The first thing we did as a class was to elect officers. That first class meeting was not very quiet or orderly but at last we succeeded in electing these ofhcersz Pres., Malo Dickg Sec., Marian Hanseng Treas., Herbert Cookg Class Patron, Mr. Brainerd. Later, after the resignation of Mr. Brainerd and Mr. Cook, Miss Masten and john Post were chosen to hll the vacancies. As a matter of course the Sophs had their sport with us. The boys con- stantly arrived at school with coats turned inside out, trousers up to their knees, and ties about their armsg while others were detained in the park to recite nursery rhymes or sing songs. This was all bravely endured. Vfe were ushered early into the social activities of the school for on Get. l3 the Sophomores honored us with a l-lallowe'en party in the Maccabee, Hall. The hall was appropriately decorated and many pleasing games were played, Mr. Fell winning the honors for the broadest grin. The grand march was led by Mr. and Mrs. Fell, after which delicious refreshments were served. The attempted disturbance and the stealing of cakes by the upper classmen only increased the excitement. ln May a picnic was given at the Castle in honor of the Sophs. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and the eats', were heartily welcomed. An Indian war dance about a Fire was the great feature of this event. The next year the class assembled in Miss Masten's room for the annual election of officers. The following were chosen: Pres., John XNhelang Vice Pres., Olive Bertschg Sec. and Treas., Marian Hansen. Of course, Miss Mas- ten was re-elected unanimously. This year we felt more at ease and in November we welcomed the Fresh- men with a party in the Harrington Hall. A program was arranged, which worked out exceedingly well. The faculty was imitated and the smaller mem- bers were allowed to enter a Kindergarten class, taught by Bert Van Ark. All this was made more impressive by costume. Anna Lundberg also con- tributed a recitation. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert led the grand march and refresha ments suggestive of Thanksgiving were served. Everyone especially enjoyed the small pumpkin pies and the cider. Friday evening, Nov. Slst, the class entertained at the home of Cordon Oltmans for the Lowell basket ball girls and our girls. Many pleasing games were played and it was here that Bert Van Ark won the title of Class Comedian. After refreshments we Uwearily plodded our homeward wayu thru the small hours of the morning. One freezing night in February the class assembled at the City llall where we boarded hay racks and were conveyed to blames Mill's home, which was kindly set at our disposal for the evening. llow delighted we all were when we reached the warm house after attempting to get our blood tu circu- 23 late bv yelling. The evening sped away quickly and pleasantly. After the f'eats ' were greedily swallowed we departed only to freeze again as we rode back to town. V , I ln the spring we arranged an outing at Alpena Beach. The principal oc- cupations were playing ball and eating sandwiches. No one could. say they did not have a rousing good time. After a marshmallow roast we journeyed homeward in the moonlight. A week or two later the Freshmen sent us an invitation to a hayrack party to be given at Tennessee Beach. Needless to say it was at once accepted and we turned out in full force. The day was excellent and the Freshmen proved themselvesjolly good entertainers. Only one incident marred the dav. The horses of one rack became frightened and turned the occupants out. Several were taken back to the city, but nothing more serious than broken bones resulted. The ofhcers chosen for our third year were: Pres., Clive Bertschg Vice Pres., Gordon Oltmansg Treas., Geo. DeW7itt: Class Patroness, Miss Masten. Later Bert Van Ark was elected class yell master. In the middle of the year we entered our new building and we have the distinction of being the first class to have a party in the new gym. The clock received many an anxious glance, for we were determined to comply with in- structions and vacate the building at ten. After refreshments occurred the feature of the eveningg the Grand March. At the stroke of ten all-were safely outside. ' The annual reception given us by the Seniors took place Saturday even- ing, Peb, 14th, at the new Ladies' Literary Club Rooms. The rooms were tastefully decorated with valentines and hearts. The chief amusement was the sensational play entitled The Escaped Desperadofl After listening to music, furnished by the high school orchestra, a pleasing program, and a mock trial, everyone repaired to the dining hall, where lunch was served. Toasts were given and the party broke up at a late hour. In May a party was given at Esther Mulderfs home. The games we played were very amusing, especially Faith, Hope and Charity. Wliat com- passion we had for the bashful ones. After refreshments we left, fully con- vinced that it was one of our liveliest parties. But the class did not disregard the other activities during this year for we won the inter-class basket ball championship and were well represented on the first teams. One of our members won honors in the D. A. R. contest and second place at the sub-district contest. At the Arbor Day program the Boston Ivy was planted and we hope it will grow and cover the building and be an evidence of the class striving to attain higher ideals. ' Cur Senior year has been the most enjoyable of all. At the very begin- mng we reorganized with more than usual enthusiasm. The executive officers chosen were as follows: Pres., Gordon Oltmansg Vice Pres., Charles Marsh, Secy. and Treas., Irene Van Zanteng Sergeant at Arms, I-Ienry Zweering. Miss Masten, who has been with us all four years, was again chosen 515 C1355 patroness. A social committee was appointed, which should have charge of all social events. Early in the year we planned a .hayrack party to the Calstle. Almost the entire. classhwent and reported a great time. The fellows displaved their athletic ability and created such an appetite that they ate more than their share and the poor girls were left to starve. 7 A Senior Festival was given in the gymnasium on the evening of Nov, 6, There were many amusing sideshows besides a paddle wheel, bowling alley, etc. The proceeds of this went to the Senior memorial. It was a howling success and everyone had a good time, even the class itself, altho there wa? much work to do. 24 Mr. Drew suggested to the class that we give class suppers and endeavor to become better acquainted. Accordingly a supper was given in the gym- nasium, prepared by the Home Missionary Society of M. E. Church. lt was a masquerade, and it was much fun trying to recognize the different people. After the grand march supper was served in the lunch roo1n. After the toasts pomp-pomp-pull-away and other exciting games were played in the gym and then all wearily departed. VVe celebrated the annual Senior-Junior party in the Ladies' Literary Club Building. lt was a Valentine party and all adornments were suggestive of Valentine Day. An entertaining program was given and a play entitled, Under the Circumstancesf' Music was furnished by the orchestra. After the spread toasts were given. - The class surprised Mr. Drew at his home X!VCCll16SdZl5V evening, Feb. 17. Amusing games were played and delicious refreshments served, but the greatest attraction was Betty. St. Patriclis day was witness to a brilliant stunt. At midnight a com- mittee stole into the building and draped the assembly room with green and white crepe paper and the class pennants by the light of searchlights. The next morning we all came to school dressed in green and white, our class colors, and wearing our arm-bands. 'Wfe dressed the fellows up in breakfast caps and then paraded down the assembly room to the stage and gave a few yells. Another supper and sleigh-ride party was given at Zeeland. The Sophs attempted to cancel our order for supper at the Cafe and even if we did have to wait we had a better time for it. Toasts were given after supper and then there was a grand rush for the sleigh. Wfe tools: exercise by walking over the bad places of the road. . Under the auspices of the class 'fThe Old Southland Sextette' gave a performance for the benefit of the Senior memorial. It was well attended. A pot-luck party was enjoyed at john Post's cottage. The boys did not prove themselves very good fire builders, because every person that went smelled like smoked ham for several days afterward. The eats were con- sumed greedily and a very exciting evening was spent. VVe shall never forget these four short years spent in good old Holland High nor will we be able to reap anything but good from our training received here. X .-f, 'E ' E H ' J :V Qi, 3: Rb' 25 Class Prophecy New Qrleans, La., june IO, 1925. Dear Friend: IYe have just returned from a trip around the world andlas I have. to remain here for an indelinite time I will have to decline your kindtinvitation with many regrets. Wie had a wonderful trip and I must tell you a little about it. NVhen we left we had some difhculty with our machine but finally arrived in NVashington, D. C. Here we stopped for I had to get some official docu- ments from President Drew to take to our Ambassador Cf. Qltmans in Japan. Mr. Drew at that time was being interviewed by an Appropriation Com- mittee froni Arizona, composed of Irene Bauhahn, Nellie Phillips, Florence Bylsma, and Sara Hoffman. Their Congressman, Wfilson Diekema, elected on the Prohibition ticket, had done all in his power to get an appropriation for an Orphan's Asylum in Phoenix, but to no avail, so this committee came to add their plea to induce the kind President to help them. In the course of their conversation they said Anna Lundberg Van Ark was going to take charge of it. Finally the President consented. He later told me that it was on account of having Mrs. 'I .Van Ark at the head of it that he did aequiesce. Before starting on our trip I had received a letter from Ann saying jim had been elected Mayor of Phoenix. All the old classmates drank a toast to dear old I-lolland I-ligh at a dinner they gave. XVhile waiting for the President I saw a lady, who looked familiar and upon scrutinizing her I recognized our old class patron Miss Masten Sirrine. I was delighted to see her. She told me that upon the election of Mr. Drew she had become his Secretary ot State. Wie talked a long while and as is the case of old friends meeting after a long separation we did some reminiscencing about the hayracks and class suppers, etc. She also told me about several of our old classmates. She said Bert Van Ark, our Yellmaster, had studied medicine and was now in South America. I-Ie, together with Al Van Zoeren, had opened a hospital there. Al was the Business Manager and Bert the Head Physician. She said she had only recently received a letter from Bert saying they were very busy and that they expected Hub Cook, also an M. D., to come out and assist them. She also told me that Irene Van Zanten had gone there only a year ago as a missionary but as yet had received no announcement. I also asked her what became of Rudolph Haberman, Eva Kimpton, Carrol Van Ark, Geo. DeNN'itt, Arnold I-Ioffmeyer, Blanche Barnaby, Iohn Post and Edna Pair- banks. She said john was the Editor of the Saturday Evening Post. Soon after leaving the University of Michigan he had taken a position as Corre- spondent and had risen to be Editor. Arnold Irloffmeyer was now supervis- ing the construction of an immense bridge in South Africa. Geo. DeWitt is now a Professor in Princeton University. I-Ie is an ordained Minister and Mrs. Sirrine heard that he had been invited to preach the baccalaureate sermon for the class. of 1925. Carrol is still studying music. He was in Paris, so when we arrived there I telephoned him and he invited us to dinner. It was given by a number of Americans studying in Paris. Vlfho would be at that dinner but Marion Hamilton, Esther Mulder and Glive Bertsch. I knew Mar- ion was in lzurope but I had no idea she'd be in Paris at that time. She had come to Europe to study a year there. Her husband was studying French and she was taking advantage of the opportunity to study art. Olive had just arrived to spend her honeymoon in Europe and she happened to meet Marion in an art gallery that afternoon. So she was also invited to the dinner. 26 Esther is teaching art in a select school in Boston and was spending her vaca- tion in Paris. It is rumored that she is engaged to some wealthy man of New York. Carrol's still looking for the someone Poodle had married and about live years ago had taken up a claim in Canada and while plowing had discovered a gold mine. Thru this he had become a wealthy man. Eva married Pete and they are very happy, living on a farm near Saugatuck. Blanche Barnaby and Bdna Fairbanks are situated, at present, on an Ostrich Farm in Australia. Mrs. Sirrine and I sure had a very pleasant talk but as soon as l inter- viewed the President we had to be on our way. It was beautiful weather and we always take advantage of the good weather to fly as far as possible, for when it storms we must alight and wait for it to pass over. WVe had no difflculty in getting started this time and when we got out about 20 miles. from the New York Harbor we met a huge passenger Aeroplane. To our surprise we saw Wfalter Knowles, A. Vanselow and Henry Walters in it. They said their passenger plane was the first of its kind and that they had come from London. The passengers were people who volun- teered to make the trip. To our great amazement we saw' two of them were Ruth McClellan and Frank Van Ry. They had been married the day before sailing and thot it a unique way of spending their honeymoon. It seems as though so many of the class of 1915 have just been or are soon going to be married. Ruth said the year before she had been teaching physical training in the public schools of Mexico City. Frank is still playing base ball. WVe could not remain talking very long and were soon on the way again. VVe arrived in London about noon. VVe alighted to get supplies and see the signs. As we all wished. to see Wlestminster Abbey we intended calling a taxi, but we saw a huge touring car standing by the curb. Gut of curiosity we went to look at it, and who should we meet but Marion De Pree. She said she was touring Europe with her husband. She also told us that an American base ball team was playing there that day and that Ray Nykamp and Henry Zweering were playing with them. Of course we had to go. Upon entering the grandstand we met, to our surprise and delight, Helen Klomparens. ,She told us she had just arrived from Germany. She had been to see the great passion play. Remember how Miss Anthony used to rave about the wonders of the play? , Helen said she had gotten so homesick for America that when she heard a base ball team Made in America was playing in London she could hardly wait for the day to come. Wfe met the boys after the game and sure had a delightful time. Helen also told us that she had met Pike Mills and Marion Hanson at an auto race. Pike was a special photographer for an American Magazine and Marion was his co-worker. She also said that -lud Kronemeyer had patented some peculiar device for a submarine. Remember he was sort of a mechanic and dreamer combined. After leaving London we flew to Germany There we visited many historical war scenes. T often think of the last war. How we used to discuss it in Miss Post's class, in reviews and in German. Didn't we always hate to get a question on current events of the war in History Class? That reminds me. The last year's Seniors gave a revival of our play ln the Vanguard. Aleda Cnossen and Sena Harsevoort are teaching-in H. H. S. and they both helped them. The world is still striving for universal peace but as long as some countries want universal power we will never get it. At another great peace conference held in XVashington, Charlie Marsh was the representative from Michigan. His wife, Francis Dyke Marsh, wrote and told me about the splendid enthusiasm in Michigan. lt almost makes me want to go back to the old State. Charlie is now General Manager ol the Street Railway in Detroit. She also wrote that she had read in the Sentinel, 27 nf which Dick Dieters is tl1e Editor, tl1at Bunk Bosnlan had purchased a drug store in Seattle. IYashington, and tl1at the University of California had given :L banquet in honor of Rex Sirrineg it being tl1e hfth anniversary of his accept- ance uf tl1e position as Athletic Coach. Irle made a splendid success of Ath- letics there, continuing tl1e work l1e did in H. H. S. In Gerinany, while visiting the U11iversity at Berlin, we met Agnes lliemstra and Lillian Van Dyke. Tl1ey were botl1 taking post graduate courses in Germany a11d told us that upo11 their return to America, they were going to take a position in Vassar and Smith's Colleges, respectively, as Cierman teachers. They always were sucl1 Sl1211'lCS i11 German. XX'e didn't ren1ain in Germany very long but swiftly Hew over tl1e co11- tinent, over the Mediterranean sea and tl1e next stop we made was in Cairo, Egypt. It is a wonderful old city, having a fine university. Wfe were curious to learn how tl1ey taught tl1e pupils so we went in. Wfho do you suppose were teaching there? Elna Starring and Lena Visser. Elna was teaching I-Iis- tory a11d Lena, Englisl1. VV'e did not remain in Egypt long for I was due in japan. This tin1e we made a long flight over mountains a11d valleys and waters. Upon reacl1ing Tokio we went in1meditely to the Ambassador's home. WIC were delightfully entertained there by Gordon and his wife. Wfe talked over old days and I told l1in1 of tl1e wonderful surprises I l1ad met witl1 on our trip. VVe remained in Tokio about two weeks and after we all felt e11tirely rested we started on our return trip. Instead of going tl1e way we came we went around to Australia. IVe arrived. in Melbourne safely and I was astonished at the growth and progress of all tl1e Australian cities. They are as modern as tl1ose of our land. Ihfe visited several department stores and I went to tl1e suit and cloak department. I saw a lady coming towards me and 11oticed at once tl1at she was 11ot a 11ative. Then I recognized l1er. It was Isabelle Shuhahn. Sl1e was tl1e buyer of tl1e fa11cy dresses and suits. She said Martin Van Alsburg owned tl1e store but that l1e was in Paris at tl1e time. VVe did not re111ain tl1ere very lo11g but were again on our way. From Australia we went to Soutl1 America. As we reached tl1e coast of Soutl1 America we noticed a storm co111ing up and were forced to land. This we did and it happened to be on a large farm. Wfe 111ade a good deal of noise la11ding a11d tl1e far111ers ca111e running out for we had aroused the barnyard. The chickens began to cackle and tl1e roosters to crow and, all together, we created quite a stir. Wfe immediately assured tl1e far111er tl1at we were no thieves but tl1at we were stranded. You never ca11 guess wl1o the farmer was! Eln1er Kruidenier! Agnes a11d Kruidie l1ad moved out there after his graduation and now hels farming to his heart's content. Wfe had to spend several weeks there for it was tl1e South American rainy season. However, it was delightful. Vtfhen we left tl1ey 1'112lCl6 us promise to come agai11, so tl1e next time we go we'll co111e and take tl1en1 for a ride. This is all for now. This is a pro111pt answer to your ever welco111e letters. Do ye likewise.

The opening scenes revealed the time honored idea that there can be no true hero except the military hero. A scene on the batteheld where a dying soldier saw thru the glamour of war and expressed his change of heart in his last words, convinced the hero, Philip Gordon, of the utter futility of war and the necessity of bringing peace to misguided humanity. The Central thot of the play was expressed by Mr. Greart. Peace is a positive-a great constructive, conclusive, abiding force-an altitude of the soul-the soul of a person or the soul of a nation. The class of l9l5 is the first to present a play and much credit is due them for attempting a work of real force and meaning and in succeeding so well in their endeavor. The acting of all the characters was good but Gordon Qltmans as the hero and Olive Bertsch as the heroine particularly won the plaudits of the audience. To Miss Anthony, who had the entire charge of the play, praise of the highest sort must be given. It was only the result of her painstaking ettorts in drilling the play that made it the success it was. H ere's hoping that the class of '16 will present as successful a play as thc class of 'l5 has done and that they will have as efficient an instructor as Miss Anthony has been. 30 Student Government Election fif'5 3 5 5 5 5'iAY Twenty-first the oflicers of the student government for the year 4. rg 1915-16 were chosen. After a week of strenuous campaigning ff. ji Q the excitement of which was increased by the fact that there i ,ff were four candidates in the field for the office of mayor, the bal- j:'9 5 3 f 1 i'i lots were cast for the respective candidates. This year a Prose- jzij 4' cuting Attorney was elected for the first time. Besides the 'T' 'X' 2 if .fe ? +9 r ,-, - A ,z,,M,,M0MM:, each of the six wards were selected. Mayor and Attorney, a Clerk, Treasurer and two Aldermen from Before the polls were opened each candidate for Mayor de- livered a campaign speech. All the speeches embodied the same general idea: ,W7hy 1 have all the qualifications that a Mayor should possess, and what I am going to do towards making Holland High School a better school if 1 am elected? Wfith these arguments fresh in their minds the voters cast their ballots. Citizenship and t.he right to vote was denied to many because of poor scholarship. In all there were forty-live students who were ineligible from this cause. These had their vote challenged when they attempted to vote. Scarcely any detail of a municipal election was overlooked. After the polls had closed the whole school waited in breathless antici- pation for the results. Wfhen the returns came in it was found that, with the exception of the Mayor, there was a close run in every case. Sylvester Paulus was elected Mayor for the coming year by an overwhelming majority. The other candidates were practically snowed under. Gut of two hundred seventy votes cast Paulus received one hundred and eighty. The other successful office-seekers were: Clerk, Helen Bell, Treasurer, Wfilliam Kimptong Prose- cuting Attorney, Benjamin Rutgers, Alderman: First Wfard, Jud Huntley and John Vander Wfoudeg Second Wfard, Helene Dyke and Dyke Van Putteng Third Wfarcl, Cornelius- Scholten and Mary Geeghg Fourth TYard, Norman Simpson and Alice McAllister, Fifth VVard, Elsie Gowdy and Arthur Smith, Sixth TfVard, VVilbur Oudermeulen and Peter Van Domelen. The new Mayor has had a splendid record during the three years that he has been in High School. The past year besides carrying six subjects and doing excellent work in them, he has been Business Manager and Associate Editor of the Boomerang. During the three years that he has been in High School he has been active in all forms of athletics and in all the different branches of High School activities. Under his administration the year to come promises to be the best in the history of Holland High School. 31 junior Notes The junior girls are basket shots, They throw where'er they look And so of course, 'twas easily done The f'Bunting they betook.

Wfhen Holland Day came the Freshmen showed their class- spirit. Wfe all turned out and decorated our float in our class colors-Yellow, Purple and VV'hite. Athletics was the subject we represented. VVe had horseback riders. divers, foot-ball men, base-ball men, tennis players and basket ball girls. The athletes rode upon the float and were followed by the rest of the members of the class who marched. So endeth our first year at Holland High.

Thus confronted with the real situation it should be possible to find a solution. The Young Men's Christian Association ever alert to meet the needs of young men and boys has undertaken to supply the remedy by laying special emphasis on the development of local leadership. During the past year only a beginning has been made along this line. But with this beginning a start has been made and the possibilities that have lain dormant in many a boy have been stirred to action. Given the responsi- bility to lead a group of younger fellows, a leader soon discovers many of the qualifications that are essential for him to have if he would succeed. Thus the knowledge that he possesses is given an opportunity to express itself in the dir- ection of the lives of a group of boys and in this way leadership is developed. Realizing this great need for capable and competent Christian leadership in all activities of life the Association will continue to seek to enlist the vouno' 6 men of the High School in the advancing of its second year's work.

It has held 25 regular meetings during the year in which + 3 5 ? 3 3 3'jj the plans for many improvements for the High School have origi- ' nated. It was under the supervision of the Council that a cer- 'Z' tain day was set aside for parents to visit the school and express . Q I 'A' Board. Boosters' Day will be long remembered as the beginning of that Boosters' spirit which is now so evident in friends and parents of Hol- land High School. It was surely a benefit to the school that the Honorable H. Pattengill delivered his splendid address on Efhciency under the auspices of the Council. But this was not the only wise and helpful action of the Council. The organization of the qludicial system has placed Holland High on the map and there is no doubt but what this splendid scheme will prove success- ful. Wie have had some gaiety sprinkled in with the solid work in the form of a delicious dinner which the Domestic Science Class served us. The quality of the eats was shown to be exceptionally line by the Council's raven- ous eating and the wide grins of-the members as they rose from the table. The Council had long desired to see what other High Schools were doing, so several members journeyed to Grand Rapids and visited the big High School there. They found that Holland High ranked equal to these others and in many ways excelled them. Throughout its administration the Council has endeavored to please and benefit the students of the High School and has always shown it's co-operation in every phase of High School life. lts plans for many improvements in the school could not be furthered all in this year but its influence will be felt in the next year and their deeds will not be forgotten. 43 2 a Athletic Board +69 402'-If E SD 5 av cfo Q 5' KT! : r-Y' o Ph 1-P- S FD UD PP S Q.

This materially cuts down the incidental expense. The Board consists oi the mayor, an athletic director, a secretary, a nn- ancial and assistant secretary, a treasurer and a manager from every team. '+?++++4+ Each manager reports on the needs of his or her respective team and the Board as a whole votes on it. Next year it is planned to reduce interscholastic athletics almost to a minimum and to endeavor to develop class games instead. The benefits of such a plan are many. There will not be the constant financial drain on the pockets of the students and the physical side of not a few, as heretofore, but many, will be trained. The students have supported athletics better this year than they have for sometime past. Wfe surely hope that their enthusiasm will last. Wfe have hopes that next year our new system may be a benefit not only for the good of the school itself but also financially. QMQ x 'QT L 1 IU' Boomerang Board ff'5 5 3 5 3 '4'Z'l' TS with a mixed feeling of pleasure, sorrow and anxiety that we jg if approach the end of the season. Pleasure, because by our co- operation and hard work we have been able to successfully pub- lish three issues of the Boomerang, and now that our work is i'f 2 ?'f 5 f'f3Z done, it is with a feeling of triumph that we may stand up and if Q if say, T have done my best, and I .have accomplished something. 25 E Sorrow? Yes. it is with sadness that we realize that our f5..g.q..g..g,.g..g..g. chances are past, that now, as our last task has been completed we can never again meet and work together as we have done dur- ing this year. Several of us are hnishing High School this year, so we can- not look forward to working on the Boomerang again. How true is the old adage: Times change, and we change with them, the old manner passes, yielding place to the new , for as we are passing on there are others to take our places. Anxiety touches the heart of each member of to a close. NVho cannot picture there the Editor-in-Chief, jack Post, anxious to the board as the year draws public as a success, the Lit- to hear the literary depart- see if his last great work will meet the eyes of the erary Editor, Olyv Bertsch, breathlessly waiting ment of the issue condemned or applauded, the jokesmith, Carroll Van Ark, wondering if his jokes have made a hit: the athletic editor, Charles Marsh, watching the sportsmen to see if his reports are accepted, the cartoonist, Marshall Irving, standing anxiously following the eyes of the readers as- they gazelat his pictures: the business managers, Sylvester Paulus and Wfaldemar Vanselow, worrying over the financial side of the issue, then there are the class reporters: Eva Kimpton, Senior, Helen Bell, junior, Ruth Bauhahn, Sophomore and Grace Mersen, Freshman, who gazing at their classmates at- titude toward the lrioomerang, hope they have not omitted anything in their reports, while the Faculty adviser, Miss lflaeiiiger stands off and watches the eifect of it all and our Mayor, George DeXYitt hopes that the board he has appointed has been capable of the work imposed upon them. This year the I-Boomerang Board has striven to make the Boomerang a success in every branch-literature, athletics, hnances, and jokes. Financially we have come out even on each issue. The Annual issue cost S350 tThree hundred-hfty dollarsil. so it was work alone which made this a success. Next year the lloomerang will be issued monthly with a big l-Xnmial at the close. lt promises to be a year of success, and it is up to you. students, to make it one. Above all things support your High School Paper. Citizens do not forget your duty-show your support of the H igh School thru the adver- tising columns oi the lloomerang. 47 Library Board '3 3'fSj0 Provision has ever been made for knowing exactly where our li- brary books were at all times, when school opened this fall. So al- tho the Library Board of last year had catalogued and arranged our books, they were in confusion this fall. Our chairman, Miss 7 . Post, immediately tried to remedy this defect. Finding' the exist- ing board too small. it was enlarged, to fourteen students. A desk was placed at the rear of the assembly room and students ,,:,,:,,z,,I,,:, 0 placed in charge of the library each period. Realizing that re- ference books in a teacher's room were not easily accessible to the average student, our history reference books were placed in the school library. The card system was adopted and Miss Post and Miss Mary Geegh devoted their Christmas vacation to this work. Owing' to their devotion the school board supplied us with sixty splendid volumes. These included l4lart's History of the American Nation in twen- ty-seven volumes, a ten volume set of books entitled Vocations,,' several his- torical novels, and miscellaneous works. i The Manual Training Department kindly contributed a magazine rack. Owing to the fact that only a few months of the school year remained no new magazines were subscribed for. Next year, however, this department will be enlarged and the assembly bulletin board utilized for current events. Next year, we also expect to have our older books rebound, new volumes added to the library, and an analytical index completed so that our librarians may be more efhcient in aiding' the other students. The library board the hrst semester consisted of Miss Post, chairman, and the Misses Esther Mulder, Agnes Kramer, Helen Bell, Edith Miller, Lillian Price, Florence Brown, Irene Bauhahn, Mary Geegh, Elsie Gowdy, Laura Yander Velden, and the Misters Harold Golds, Sylvester Paulus- and Ben- jamin Rutgers. Qwing' to the change of schedule in the second semester the Library Board consisted of Miss Post, chairman, and the Misses Gladys Smith, Louise Wieaver, Nina Fansler, Helen Bell, Edith Miller, Laura Vander Velden, Lillian Price, Florence Brown, Mary Geegh, Elsie Gowdy and Mr. Harold Colds. MQ 48 Literary Board This year the Literary Board consisted of the faculty members, Miss Anthony and Miss Masten, who have d.one the greater share of the planning and suggesting, and the student members, Lillian Van Dyke, Helen Klom- parens and Anna Lundberg, chairman. Few programs have been given this year under the direction of the Lit- erary Board, but those few have been splendid. The first one, on September 28th, was given in commemoration of Frances VVillard, so a temperance pro- gram was rendered. The D. A. R. Oratorical and our declamatory contests, also a Boosters Dayl' program are among those presented this year, and every one was a success. Holland High School is making a rapid advance in the oratorical and lit- erary line, and special thanks are due the local D. A. R. for their interest and encouragement. Miss Anthony and Miss Haefliger have put forth every effort in their power to help and boost Holland High in the contests. Wfe hope that every one will work just a little harder next year to make our chances just a little better so that Hastings will have absolutely no chance to carry off the honors which we claimed as ours. Begin now, you orators, for next year must see Holland High on the very top of the ladder of oratory. Welfare Committee During the past year the Wfelfare Committee have tried to cheer the weak and disabled 'by sending a few flowers to them. Naturally the reci- pients would be at home to receive them. Not so with Mr. Drew. School opened on the Monday after spring vacation and Mr. Drew's smiling face was nowhere to be seen. He had been sick all spring vacation and we were given the impression that he would stay sick for some time. The florist said there were no flowers left after Easter and we would have to wait until Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning came and for some reason or other life seemed brighter. No wonder, Mr. Drew was in his place with a smile on his face. He got the Howers later in the day and we said to ourselves Better late than never. lVe know he appreciated them. Last September the committee was composed of Five members, Miss llelcher, Anna XYhalen, Henrietta Yan l'utten, lienjamin Rutgers and 'Irene Yan Zanten, but during the course of the year one of the members dropped out and the work was left to four. The committee has been able to reach about twenty students. Wfe all hope the committee next year will be able to continue the good work and probably do more personal work. 49 Police Board ! 3 E'lKl2 Gulliver awakening from his dreams, at last the Police Board of the Holland .High School, has come to- a realization that they E' must do things in order to live. The outcome of this awakening :1 has been the formation of a court system, fire drill, and system- ? ized student hall dutv. 'lust a few words in regard to these A' 4 ' :Q activities. Our court system consists of a Chief justice, Associate jus- 0 tice, Prosecuting and Defending Attorneys, and a Police Board, Ti A 6 4 6 consisting of a Chief of Police and twenty-hve student officers. The whole system is governed by a regular high school ordinance. A person violating one of these ordinances is warned by an officer. lf this student does not then comply with the ordinance, the officer then makes a complaint to the chief justice twho is the Principal of the Hig.h Schooll. If this complaint is considered justiliable, it is then made in writing, upon a blank very much similar to the style oficomplaint issued by any city. A warrant is then issued which is also copied after the city form. The warrant is then served and the violator of the ordinance is brought before the chief justice. He must then declare himself guilty or not guilty of the said offense. If he declares him- self guilty the penalty is immediately inflicted in every case in a direct result of the ordinance violated. lf the person declares himself not guilty he is al- lowed a trial. He chooses between two defending attorneys. The date and time of the trial is set. Subpoenas for jurymen and witnesses are sent out. If a person is subproenaed they must appear according to the ordinance. The trial is very much similar to an ordinary city trial. The results of this sys- tem have been very satisfactory, Qnly live arrests have been made which never reached the point of a trial-thevoffenders declaring themselves guilty in every case. A very satisfactory fire drill has been organized which eliminates all criticism on the part of the city fire board. Hall duty is handled entirely by members of the Police Board, a boy and girl being on duty each day of the week. The Police lloard feels that their success in the past was due entirely to the co-operation and good will of the student body as a whole and desires a more energetic spirit of co-operation in the future in order that they may make the work of this board a greater success. The members of the Police Board are as follows: Justus Huntley, Dyke Yan Pntten, Bernard Romeyn, Esther Mulder, Marian De Pree, james Klom- parcns, Florence llrown, Daniel Den Cyl, Marian Hansen, Norman Simpson. Eva Kiinpton Agnes Kramer, Albert Zuidema, Bernice Benjamin, Prank Yan Ry, lrene liauhahn, Henry Zweering, Helen Bell, mlohn Post, Dorothy llrooke, lfdgar Kimpton, Sarah Hoffman, Martin Van Alsburg, Elda Yan Put- ten, Elmer Kruidenier, Anna Lundburg, Rudolph Haberman. 50 The Dnalloh Hgih i'i ! i 2 5 :'2:T'l.Aiflf the Dnalloh Hgih has succeeded in bringing about many :ij :ij good results, in the life of our school is very evident. if jg: This year has indeed been a successful one.

A one act farce entitled Music Hath Charms' was the feature of the program, with Mr. Dieters and Mr. Krug idenier taking the leading parts. New officers were elected for the second term. Mr, Kruidenier succeed- ed Mr. Kronemyer as president, whose term in office had yielded much good for the society. Mr. Oltmans was elected secretary and Mr. Douma, treasurer. Cn the evening of March 25th, the Dnalloh Hgih, aided by the Kappa Delta gave a dramatization of George Eliot's novel Silas Marnerf' The play was a decided success, the proceeds of which went to defray the expenses of the new curtain. All the regular program meetings have been well attended and interesting. During this semester, also, the Kappa Delta society entertained us, with a very interesting program and very delicious eats NVe thank you! Wie were represented by a strong basket ball team during the winter, of which Mr. Kronemyer was captain. They played several outside games, but seemed to carry a hoodoo with them most of the time. The grand finale-generally termed the bust took place June 2nd, and we all had one glorious time. A launch took us to Saugautck and we livened up that little burg considerably by our presence. lt was a fitting close to a very successful year. QQMQ I Kappa Delta 5 f:f3 5 5 5 5 5'iLUST like children and all living things grow, so the Kappa Delta Society, that lively bunch of girls, has grown. Gur Literary fi: 3: Club began the fall term of l9l4 with a membership of twenty- ij 3: iive girls. During the course of the year we have increased our j?jf 5 ? 5 f 5'fS4j number to thirty-live-all loyal lloosters for Holland High. jg jj At our regular monthly meetings, the Society has rendered Q21 jg: programs of a distinctly literary type. XYith the aim of awakening 'f:f,Mwz0Mw:.f5f in the individual a keen appreciation of good literature and devel- oping her own literary talent, we have devoted much of our time to the discussion of great literary artists and their masterpiece produc- tions, We have been brought into a close and sympathetic touch with the great men and women of the world and their services to humanity, with the great problems facing the present civilization for solution and the important events of the day. Altho our Kappa Delta Society is a literary club, we have paid careful attention to the development ot it's musical side also. The musical selections rendered at various times during the year have been of the finest quality, and have shown a remarkable talent of the Society members along that line. ln the latter part of the winter, our Society, in co-operation with the Dnalloh Hgih, presented to the public, the well-known play, The Miser of Ravaloef' The feat was a complete success, and the ability of the actors was thoroughly appreciated by the audience. The entire proceeds of the evening were donated to the High School curtain fund, However, all of the activities of the Kappa Delta have not been of a ser- ious type. Of course we have had our social times too, and sociables they were! Ask the Dnalloh lrlgih if the spread we gave in their honor wasnt royal. The little play, K'Seeking a Servant which our Society presented on that occasion was indeed taking. lilut of all the good times we have enjoyed, none can excell our kid party given in honor of the eighteenth birthday of two of the Society girls. lYhat a time we had, and how Miss Masten shocked us when she first appeared. Too bad Miss Antliony had to miss the fun. We expect to hold our linal meeting this month, at which time we xvill have our annual election of oliicers for the ensuing year. The officers whose terms will then expire are: l5'resident. Helen Klomparensg Vice-president lrene Van Zanteng Secretary, Helen lrlellg Treasurer, Helene Meyerg Sear- gant-atarms, Henrietta Yan Putteu. The past vear has been one of remarkable progress for the Kappa Delta Societv along everv line of it's activity. Our president has proven herself thoroughly capable of the performance of the duties ol her otlice. Bliss :Xnthonv our patroness, has clone much to further the interests ul the Society. and we greatly appreciate the interest she has shoxvn.

This club was giv- en the name of the 'iScientiiic Research Club. The officers elected were a great help toward making our first year a success. :Xlbert,Vanselow was elected president, Iames Van Ark, vice-president and XYald,emar Vanselow, secre- tary and treasurer. Under the lead of these the society feels that it has truly accomplished something and has not been a failure. W-7e have been educated by the work of the society along the intended line-s much better than we could have been by the perusal of this course of Study in the school alone. Our experimental meetings have been great successes. Many electrical and chemical experiments were prepared by dif- ferent members not to mention the Neat. The Photographic work also was a great help. By this many learned a lot about it's pleasures, and the society was able, by the money earned by it, to buy at fine camera. Each member of the society has given one or more talks on different subjects, hereby benehting both himself and those to whom his talk was ll CXV. Heres hoping' that the good work will be continued to a better success next year. Wfe feel that our newly elected president, George Glupker, is capable and will do his best to keep the society together, and, what more, working to the end of next year. 57 Gir1's Glee Club J' .aaa a. 1 fs, Ap - .

At the cantata given by the High School Chorus on February 4th, the Girls, Glee Club sang one of the choruses and 'four of the girls took solo parts. Since last September the club has lost but one member, Gladys Smith. She was missed very much as each one in the club has her part to do. At the end of the year the loss of three more members will be regretted, Ruth McClellan, C'lyv Bertsch, and Nella Exo. The girls sang at many contests, entertainments, and lectures the past year, and among the songs which made special hits were: Cupid Made Love to the Moon One Nightng The Spirit of the Evil lYind',g Qthe babies could barely keep their eyes open when we sang thisii, The Dream-Maker Man . 'Water Lillies. Miss lYright has been most faithful and the Glee Club takes this op- portunity to thank her for the great benefit she has been to them, The girls have enjoyed working together.

The boys made their linal appearance in the HRose Maidenu cantata, taking the male chorus parts. The success of this year's club shows how much can be made of music in High School.

The idea was taken up with en- thusiasm, and the quartette made it's debut at Christmas time, rendering the anthem Good Tidings at the Christmas program. Since then they have ap- peared on the program of several concerts in High School and other schools, and at many meetings and celebrations in the city. Under the direction of Miss Nlvright this quartette has made a better reputation than was thought possible at the beginning of the year. :Xs three of the members graduate this year, it will be practically a new quartette that will appear next winter. 'Hol- land High is beginning to realize its possibilities along this line. May their success be greater each year! Members of the quartette are: :Xrthur Smith, Gordon Cltmans, -lames Van Ark and Carroll Yan Ark. 63 Orchestra Q. 9 ,Q 2, + 9 4 'S' +++++i+?+??w + + + . 21 +?4??+++?++++ ,.,. jf,--H.

But after this difficulty was overcome the work progressed well. In music it is not quantity but quality that counts. Ask the violinist, the ++++?+?W pianist, the vocalist, any person who has the real spirit of music alive in his heart, which is preferable, the clear, pure, tone, however soft or the big thundering noise in which purity and clearness have no part. A well balanced production, tho light, is in every way superior to the monopoly of the whole stage by one part. This is the principle which should guide in the work of an orchestra. And this principle has been worked out as far as possible in the work this year. Wliile the orchestra has not played as much, possibly, as in previous years, while there has been less new music attempted than some may have wished, nevertheless the result has been real music. For next year the program for orchestra work will be somewhat as fol- lows: QU Regular rehearsals once and sometimes twice every week. Q25 Two full orchestra concerts during the year. Q35 Orchestra programs before the High. School once in two months. Q41 Such other work as may appear. C55 Every one in his place at every rehearsal boosting for better music for a better Holland High School. Let us have the loyal support of every friend of Holland High. 65 strumentsg every nook and corner of the High School building Z:-Z 5 ? E 2 i' 'I'-o The Band THE Griginal founders of the High School Band, the results of if ' its formation have been rather astonishing: :lj Last October several of the boys in conference with Mr. Gil- ? bert decided to form a little band, hfteen or twenty pieces, to rgzwiwi-02'-Z-'if play at foot ball games, and act as a boosters club for the High 2: ' School. Xllhen this news got out interest was at once aroused, 1? and in an incredibly short time fifty boys had signihed intention Ezknyvwnwo ot Joining the band, and immediately proceeded to obtain in- as well as the citizens of Holland was penetrated with the horrible sounds of embryo music. Considering what the students of the High School, and the citizens of Holland contended with during this period we are more surprised than ever at the interest manifested in this organization. The progress made by the band since then is remarkable more than some would think in view of the fact that it is made up of young, enthusiastic fel- lows, anxious and ready to learn. The hrst concert was given in February at which time the band ap- peared for the hrst time in full uniform. The concert was a success in every way, and the able assistance of the orchestra at that time added. much to the occasion, and certainly was appreciated by the band. The second concert was given in April, and showed a decided improvement over the previous one. In the meantime the band has shown its loyalty to the High School by playing on several occasions before the students, and in taking part in their boosters' day parade, and in the parade given by the Boy Scouts. They have also lent their assistance in entertaining the lwiestern Michigan Press Association, and at present have several engagements booked ahead. The future of the band is very bright as there are several young fel- lows awaiting their opportunity to hnd a place in its ranks, and while it will be a difficult thing to replacersome present members who will leave us by graduation, yet the added experience of those who do remain will help in a great measure. The members of the band certainly appreciate the hearty support given to it by the members of the High School, and of the citizens of Holland, and wish to assure those who are interested that the band will continue to exist and thrive as long as this interest continues. At a recent meeting of the band several decided steps were taken which shows the loyalty of the members to their organization, and to the Holland High School. They have decided that members of the band must be doing passing work in their subjects, and must attend meetings regularly if they expect to remain in the organization. They have also decided that no member may smoke while in band uniform, and we believe that if organizations in the High School would take this decided stand that Holland lligh would be doing better by such a spirit coming from the students, not laid down to them by the faculty. Our slogan is The llest liand from the llest lligh School in Michigan. 67 Lambda Sigma On April 22nd nine girls got together and organized the Lambda Sigma. Altho a small number, it is a very enthusiastic bunch. VVe expect to get many more members next year. At our very nrst meeting we had a very interesting program. Wfe expect to have one more meeting this semester and it will be as interesting and instructive as the first. ' I W'e have four honorary members in' our society and they are enthusiastic as the girls themselves. . I The purpose of this society was to give the girls who are not popular in H. H. S. a chance. The following are the members: Cora Van Der XN'erf, Fresidentg Bernice Dalmau, Vice President, Hazel Harris, Secretary, Inge- borg Anderson, Florence Bruichett, Gertrude Stephan, Edith VVeaver, Irene King, Henrietta Driesinga. Faculty members, Miss Belcher, Miss Beach, Miss Hubbel and Mr. Drew. Camp-Fire The school year opened- with three camps doing active work-Minneyata, Minnetoska and Pottawattamie. About thefirst thing we did was to take a hike across the lake. Any girl interested in the work could go, whether she was a member of any camp or not. Shortly after this fifteen Freshman girls organized with Miss Beach as guardian. They chose Bike Hozani as their name. VVith these new mem- bers there are about fifty girls belonging to the organization in the High School. VVith perhaps a few exceptions this ended the work of this year. ' The Freshman girls have shown more enthusiasm than the other three camps to- gether. lfVhat is the trouble girls? Thirty girls have signified their intentions of going camping. Two weeks have been planned instead of one, as of last year. After our good times this summer, girls, let's come back to school with the determination of making camp-ire work amount to something. Remem- ber, Miss Beach, Miss Habermann, Miss Geiger or Miss Belcher can't do it all. Wfe have got to help. Boy Scouts of America Scout life is again showing itself with the coming of Spring and Summer. Hikes are more enjoyable than ever now, because those interested in Scouting are getting to know more about it. A Wie now have four First Class Scouts, and a number of others coming along at the Scout's pace, which is by no means slow, Qask the Scoutsj. On May the 17th we held a public meeting in the H. H. S. for the purpose of explaining more about the movement. Demonstrations were given in sig- naling, pryamiding and first aid. Many thanks to the High School Band for playing in our parade. XVe want more fellows to be Scouts, Scout Masters and Assistants. Come on you High Fellows. JAMES VAN ARK, Ass't. Scout Master. 68 L JL EPSEMFWQS VWL1 ,,,f.,. ,,,., , pg-nm Foot Ball Review Gui' foot ball team of 1914 was the best the school has had in years. Dur- ing the entire season the team lost but one game. To Coach Drew must be given a great deal of the credit for the success of the team of last fall. Every fellow on the team should be congratulated on the splendid work which the team, of which they were members, did last fall on the foot ball held. Next fall we expect every fellow with any foot ball ability to turn out and help to make the team of 1915 the best that I-lo1land High School has ever put into the Held for foot ball honors. 70 1 Basket Ball Review Altho not as successful as some teams of previous years have been, never- theless, the team of 1914-15 proved themselves to be good losers, which is about half of the benefit to be derived from athletics. The material, altho good, was inexperienced. Witli the experience gained from the Work of last season we should be able to turn out a team next winter that will hold its own with the best in the State in High School basket ball. Everybody get out and boost for the success oi the team of 1916. ' 71 Girls' Basket Ball The l-lolland High School can well be proud of the splendid showing made by their girls' basket ball team. Under the leadership of Rex Sirrme- the efficient Coach-our girls developed into a team which can be ranked in class A athletics. Not once during the season did the maroon and orange go down in defeat. The team met the best teams in the State, barring none- and why should we as a High School not be proud of such a record? The l9l4-l5 team consisted of the following girls: Helen Klomparens, C. and Capt. 3 Ruth McClellan, G., Nella Exo, G.g Beatrice Steketee, F.g Helen Bell, F., 'losie Belt, F.g Nella Meyer, Gjg Alberta Sirrine, R. C. As center and captain Helen Klomparens showed her ability as a player and leader. Not once during the season did she meet her equal. Ruth Mc Clellan is certainly a capable guardf Any opponent of her's knew that she had been in the game when Ruthowas opposed to her. As Ruth's side partner we have Nella Exo, who showed her ability as a basket ball player during the whole season. As a basket shooter Beatrice Steketee is in a class by herself. Give Beatrice the ball and it meant two more points for H. H. S. This was Helen Bellls nrst year on the first team. Her biggest asset is her quickness. She can not be surpassed in the art of receiving and getting rid of the ball. Nella Meyer and Josie Belt, our two subs, played an excellent game whenever called upon. Alberta Sirrine, altho small, was remarkably fast in her position at running center. NYe are expecting great things of this team next year. Two players- Helen Klomparens and Ruth McClellan will be lost to the team. But with a wealth of material to call upon the loss of these two players will be but slightly felt and we hope to have another sextette of championship caliber. 72 Class Champions Girls' Basket Ball Class Champions Boys' Basket Ball 73 Baseball 1 915 The baseball season opened with a game with Allegan. The boys got off with a bad start and as a result were defeated by a 5 to 3 score. It was a good game except for one bad inning, when errors presented Allegan with the game. ' H. H, S. Vs. Grand Haven The next game was played at Grand Haven and in a 12 inning game Grand Haven out-lucked us and came out on the long end of a 6 to 5 score, There is some doubt as to the real cause of the defeat, but it is rumored that the fair fans of Grand Haven got the goats of certain Holland players, so as this is all we know about it we will accept it as the truth and say no more. DePree Chemicals vs. H. H. S. April 28 was Boosters'Day in H. S. and after a fine parade thru the business section of the city the team tackled the fast DePree Chemical's, a team made up of Qld timers and ex-leaguers . Their previous experience and better knowledge of the game proved H. S. undoing and we were de- feated 9 to 5. Grand Rapids Union vs. H. H. S. Coach Mitchell and his crew from G. R. were next in line, and although they were outplayed, they succeeded in winning by a 5 to 2 score. It was a hard one for a pitcher to lose, Nykainp allowing but four hits. H. H. S. vs. Hope College In a free hitting contest, Hope defeated us. It was a see-saw game from start to finish, H. S. scored four in the last inning but were unable to tie the score, so Hope carried off the honor if such it was by a 14 to 13 score. Interclass Track Meet Q11 April 23 the annual Tnterclass Track Meet was held at the corner of 15th and River St. Some of the classes were not as well represented as they might have been, but nevertheless it was an interesting meet. The Juniors were well represented and succeeded in repeating last year's victory with a total of 72 points, the Seniors were second, the Freshmen third and the Sophs last.

The hrst day of school. 5' ln the home of each student an electric bell rings, warning 5, him that it is time for school. No longer are the old school bells heard as fifty years ago, as a summons to duty. Five minutes later there is a noiseless sound as hundreds v -6. 1:1 Q ffl of aeroplanes gliding along land on the roof of the High School, jj ' bringing the pupils. For each aeroplane there is a separate ff. ' hangar, as in olden days there were pegs for hats and coats. Elevators take the young people down to the assembly. At the on the mat before it, Each pupil takes his seat. on which his name is engrav- ed. There is no noise, commotion, or uproar. Everything is ideal, every- thing automatic. Honor System rules in its most perfect form. Student fiovernment is ideal. The Court System has proven a failure because the government has become so perfect that t.here is none who commits misde- meanors, for which he could be arrested. - Suddenly the sun disappears behind a cloud. lt becomes dark in the building. On each desk an individual study lamp brightens according to the density of the gloom, regulated by an automatic dial on the skylight. Study time begins and each pupil takes his book out of his desk pre- paratory to study. No longer are the insignificant studies of Latin.. German, Geometry, Trignometry and Physics. In their places are the study of Etymology, Psychology, Sociology, Geology, Calculus, Bacteriology, Astro- nomy, Vertibrae and lnvertibrae, Zoology and Histology. Hundred of statues and pieces of sculpture art meet the eyes of the pupils in every direction, as for 50 years each Senior class has added some- thing to the collection. The vvorld's most famous pictures line the walls of the rooms, and the art gallery rivals those of Italy, Paris and London. Electric lnvigorators are attached to each desk so if the pupils become tired and unfit for study they can be speedily refreshed. lf he is unnecessar- ily Warm, he turns on the electric fan at his right. Each aisle in the Assembly has a moving Hoor, moving in opposite dir- ections. In the corridors are also moving floors which convey the pupils more easily to their class rooms. Automatic elevators connect the different iloors, taking the place of the old time stair-cases. JX soda fountain occupies one corner of the Assembly, and the occasional phiz-z-z breaks the silence of the room as a tired student rings for a Coca Cola. 86 jan. 1 Jan. 5 Jan. 7 Jan. 11 Jan. 22 Jan.

Does it Pa to o to High School and College? Many young people are seriously and sincerely asking them- selves this question. There was a time when colleges and uni- versities were few and sparsely attended, and they offered less advantages than the high schools of today. Then a person with a common school training was educated compared with the majority of his fellows. Today hundreds of colleges and universities in all parts of the world are training young men a11d young women for leadership and usefulness in all walks of life. They are opening the understanding of hundreds of thousands of young people to new worlds and new possibilities and helping them to live the complete life. Today we meet college and university graduates on every hand. They are the people who are doing things. We must compete with them in the race of life. Today the person who has completed the eight grades of the common school is not educated. He has only laid the foundation, which will be of little value to him unless he builds upon it. He must take his place in life as an unskilled laborer. - But does it pay financially, and if so, how much is a person's time spent in high school and college worth in dollars and cents? If an uneducated man earns 32.00 a day for 300 days in a year he does very wellg and if he keeps it up for 40 years, he will earn 32.00 x 300 X 40, or 324,000. An educated man is not generally paid by the day, but by the month and by the year. If you will strike an average of the earnings of educated men, beginning with the President of the United States, who earns 375,000 a year, the presidents of the insurance companies and of large railroad companies, and run down the table until you come to the lower walks in point of earnings among educated men, you will admit that 3l,200 a year is a low average for the earnings of educated labor. For 40 years you have 348,000 as the earnings of an educated man. Subtract 324,000 from 348,000 and the difference, or 324,000, must represent the value of a person's time spent in high school and college. Now if 324,000 represents the value of the time a person spends at school getting an education, what is the value of a year, or a day spent in such a school? The time required to complete high school and college is eight years, of 200 days each. A simple division will reveal the fact that the student is making 33,000 per year while attending high school and college. Another simple division will show the value of a day spent in high school or college to be 3l5. nvest in an ducation Ill lllllllllllllllllIlllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIlllIlllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIII lln 95 .......,..,..,-......,..,...........,..............,..,..,...-.,..,..,..,.....q-.,..................... -us.. , , .-9--n--v o s--s--o--o--o-o--o--o-Q ' - -'- Pianos, Player Pianos, Victor Victrolas and Musical Merchandise 2F212 f'1 ' ie21 f1ii22Ea2e2 1 iii?
