ARGOSY First Edition Published by Seniors of ’25, Homer High School Homer, Michigan Why We Call It the Argosy Many years ago Jason and Argos, son of Phrixus, built a wonderful ship, strong and swift, but light, and since it bore a piece of the oracular oak from Dodona in its keel was capable of delivering prophecies. About him, Jason gathered a band of heroes, about fifty in number. They sailed their ship, the Argo, into unknown seas and landed at Lemnos where many strange adventures befell them. Sailing from place to place in search of the Golden Fleece they finally brought it back to their own country. Not only did they bring back the Golden Fleece, but also the kings daughter, who with Jason as king, ruled their kingdom with much success. Likewise, this book which we call the Argosy while not being able to deliver prophecies, does have a meaning. This Argosy was built by the students of our high school. Our aim is to acquaint the people with the different departments of our school life. Although meeting many tasks and hardships in building this book, we know that we may look forward to a great reward in the future, as the Argonauts did of olden times.

Take out those who are fretting, we’ll be happy tonight. Our time is fast fleeting, we’il be happy to-night. We’re happy and joyous, who says we are not? He's crazy-dear Classmates-take him right off the spot. “Unhappy in June time? No we’re not if you please; There's nothing but music in the spring's balmy breeze. We've a trick we young Seniors, perhaps you’ve been told Of talking (in public) as if we were old; This boy we call Putty” and this we call Charles” They’re both great on fiction, of course they'll win laurels. That fellows our Speaker”-the one on the right; Mr. Flint my young one, how are you tonight?” Sam's our “Football Coach we say when we chaff. There’s the “Deacon ivhats his name don’t make me laugh. That girl with the grave mathematical look, Thinks she may write a wonderful book, A nd the Royal Society will think it is true, , So they’ll take her right in, Louise McAllister she is too. There’s A boy we pretend with a three decker brain, That could harness a team with a logical chain, When he spoke for our class in that eloquent way We called him just Bill”; he’s Mr. Gibson” to day. And there’s a nice youngster with talents so rare. You’d think to look at her she hadn’t one care, But she’ll shout a glad song that will float on the breeze, Just look at her smile, her name is Louise. We call this girl Neva”, you think she’s all fun; But the teachers smile too at the work she has done, The children laugh loud as they troop to her call. But the ones who best know her, laugh loudest of all. 18 And there is Ruthella so happy and gay, An actress I’m sure she will be some day, And theres Maurine, now isn’t it great? Writing for magazines will be her fate. Monabelle and Alletta, teachers sure they will be, And their pupils will step around some, believe me. And then that boy who’s always “Johnny on the spot. Shall we leave him out? I rather guess not. A stenographer Ina says she will be, Will she, I wonder? We’ll just wait and see. Then there is William, that boy we call ‘‘Bill.’’ There are many things he may do if he will. Our class is the owner of two famous men, ■Stout little ,Shorty” and big tall “Ren, Mutt and Jeff they seem to be, But they are both good athletes one can readily see. And then there is “Vi the life of our class. We have lots of fun with her, but alas, A beauty parlor may call her away, And to the bright lights of Detroit she'll go someday. You see that girl back there, we all cal', her “Kitty.” Before long she will go to a wonderful city, Being a nurse will be one of her parts; Caring for patients with broken hearts. And there is Martha with excellent wit, She thinks by teaching she will make a great hit. She says she is going to school in Ka-zoo I sure hope she does for I want to go too. Yes, we are the Seniors of this famous year, And when you Juniors Graduate some won’t be here. We’ll go out in the world to learn new ways. May we make the most of the rest of our days. Then here’s to my classmates, their joys and their cares. Though their paths be rugged, or beset with snares May they ever climb upxvard and that they may arrive, Dear Father, take care of the old class of “twenty-five. Laura Lake 19 Class Will Ladies and Gentlemen, Board of Education, Superintendent, Teachers and Friends:----- Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1925 of Homer High School, State of Michigan, United States of America, 1 have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life, and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her, realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her virtues, she did, collectively and individually, deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to these friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for this or that so long coveted glory; but she has tried to be just, as well as generous and impartial and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain, and the unusual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite possibly have been mistaken in her inventory; but such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one that has gone before. Listen, then, one and all, while 1 read the document as duly drawn up and sworn to. We, the Class of 1925, in twenty-two individual parts, being about to pass out of this sphere of learning in full possession of a crammed mind, well trained memory, and almost superhuman understanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises by us at any time heretofore made, or mayhap, carelessly spoken, ohe to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our Superintendent and his all-wise and ever-competent faculty, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions as Seniors of grave and reverend mien must certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose the same as follows: We bequeath to our beloved Superintendent, Paul Van Sickle, our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment for all that he has done for us during our long years at Homer High, we make over to him here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peace- 20 ful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this one is doing her night work, or that one will remember every iron clad of compositional technique in the preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain on them, for Seniors are said to be at all times and under all conditions difficult to manage. But they have all done their duty, and verily, now shall they have their well earned reward. We give and bequeath to the Junior class, as a student body. Earl Flint’s, knowledge of public speaking and sciences. We trust that they will use them to the best of their ability. The following may seem but trifling bequests, but we hope that they will be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them, and a continued reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal. 1st. To all class Presidents, William Gibson’s ability to convince our class advisor, Mr. Van Sickle, of his unerring judgment. 2nd. To next year's football team, the playing ability of Hurshul Helmer. 3rd. To Sylvia Butler, William Nelson’s singing talents. 4th. To some benighted Freshman anybody who will accept them—Louise McAllister's and Roy Putnam’s troubles as class officers. 5th. To Ted Weiss, Kenneth Cook's basketball position. 6th. To the Freshmen boys, Charles Gardner’s and Colon Brockway’s ability of leaving the school house during school hours. 7th. To the Freshmen girls, Alletta Hakes’ and Martha Booth's stillness. 8th. To any Junior boy, John Hakes' desire to manage the boys’ basketball team. Send in your application early. 9th. To next year girls, a few books of reviews. On sale now. Inquire of Neva Butcher. 10th. To Ruth Manchester, Ruthella Deming’s becoming smile. 11th. To Ronald Alexander, his sister’s books. We hope he makes as good use of them as she has. 12th. To the future Senior girls, Monabelle Heath's and Laura Lake's desire to teach school. 13th. To Dolphy Daniels, we leave Reynold Whitcomb’s stature. 14th. To Ruth Thompson, we give Maurine Cilley’s curls which have long been shorn. 15th. To a teacher who might make good use of them, Viola Daniels’ roving eyes. 16th. To the Freshmen to come, we give all of Catherine Dowding’s chewing gum, any flavor can be obtained. 21 17th. To anybody desiring it, Ina Lake's seat. No extra charge. Come early the first day of school next year and avoid the rush. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts of our Principal and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us, they will show them all the same tender care and attention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interest in their attempts and successes; the same sorrow when they fail. We trust that the Class of 1926 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts we leave not of necessity, but our own free will, our blessing, tender memories of our pleasant associations together and our forgiveness in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, what nature, kind and quality so ever it may be, and not herein before disposed of (after paying our funeral expenses), we give and bequeath to our beloved Principal Miss Bessie Blair, for her use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as she may see fit. And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Principal sole executer of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we the Class of 1925, the testators, have to this our will, written on this sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal this I Oth day of June, Anno Domine, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five. k 22 Class History Plainly can I remember the past four years. They have been four which 1 will always remember. The Class of '25 ventured into high school in the year of 1921. We were called Freshies. That first year was a continuous struggle with our books and teachers. They wanted us to mind, thinking if we did we always would. At the end of that year some of us were all tired out and couldn't go on. The next year we came into the class called Sophs. We knew our P's and Q's” a little better. We had more social times and we no longer had that dread and fear of our teachers. In 1924 we were called the Juniors. We thought that it was an honor to be as high towards the goal of graduation. That year some of us began to think about our credits, some needed more, others did not. At commencement time we were marched down towards the front of the church to see how the Seniors acted. We knew we would be there next year. We sat there and sweated as much as the Seniors themselves. They all seemed glad to get their diplomas. We have no fear because we know that each is entitled to one. The year ended with all of us eager for the next to come, knowing that it would be the end. This glorious year of 1925 sees us at our close in Homer High. The students, some of them, will miss us, others will be glad that we are gone. We will be equally glad. To look back on the past four years, they seem to be ones of study and hard work. Some of us will be doctors, lawyers, teachers, preachers and hold other positions of higher learning. That is what we have been striving for since we entered high school. We all look toward the future and have no fear of it. Why? Because we are prepared for it. We hope that the classes to come will have as many good times and learn as much as we have. 23 THE HOODOO Senior Class Play CAST Brighton Early, about to be married ..........................

The first event to break the monotony of this voyage was the banquet given by the Sophomores. When we left the next port as Sophomores there were 36 of us. The largest class at that time in Homer High School. Stub’’ Allen was chosen as Captain to steer the ship safelv to the next harbor. Clayton Vandenburg was appointed first mate, with Miss Blair as advisor. Having fair weather and smooth sailing during this year we had many good times, having been entertained by the Misses Margaret Lambright and Marie Hess. But we regretted the fact that we lost two of our crew during this year of our voyage, Billie Williams and Leta Kline. After several months of strenuous work the Captain again granted us leave of absence. On reporting for this, our third part of our journey, Edith Putnam was given the appointment as Captain of the Juniors with Elva McClintic as first mate and Mr. Osborne advisor. Taking the roll call we found that Anna Polzin, Doris Reid and Marion Harlow had failed to report, also that Shirley Adams had been transferred to another ship, sailing later than ours, she having been ill when ours left the harbor. One frosty evening we saw many lights on shore. Wondering what the occasion was. we landed and found to our surprise that we were in the large and magnificient city of Clarendon and there we attended a party with the Sophs, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Vandenburg who had recently been married. Later (April 26) we celebrated a similar occasion in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Sharp (Linnie Powers) but we did not leave her as we did Jay, but hope to have her with us to the end of our four year journey. Theron Cutting dropped off at one of the stops which we made and Mary Hubbard was added to our number, making the present enrollment of twenty-eight. We’ve been in bad storms a plenty while thus far we have traveled, but alwavs have come out all right. Thus we hope to continue sailing for years to come upon this Sea of Knowledge which is unlimitable in extent. 27 28 SOPHOMORES « Class Officers: President .......Marion Sinclair Vice President Dorothy Hanchett Secretary and Treasurer .Albert Boden Class Advisor: Mr. Horton Class Colors: Purple and Gold Class Roll: Ronald Alexander Albert Boden Gerald Blodgett Herbert Bailey Donald Deming Dolphy Daniel Howard Dye Metha Dolph Rex Fish Dorothy Holmes Dorothy Hanchett Elsie Humphrey Hazel Hollabaugh Helen Hardt Vergil Herrick Bertha King Harold Keefer Wilford Lawrence Dewey Mains Earl Mead Hazel McAfdel Margaret McCulley Helen Rising Howard Smith Ida Sherman Ida Sweet Marion Sinclair Russell Thomas Gula White Margaret Yaudes Sophomores This class is made up of people called Sophs. They expect to graduate from this school, or perhaps some other one some day. Though it is only their second year in high school they are beginning to understand what a hard old world this is. Their teachers complain about their disorderly conduct. Of course they are the only ones that are disobedient. The Sophs are a social bunch. They have had several parties and other social functions during the past year. Their pennant, which hangs in the assembly room with all of the other banners, attracts a good deal of attention. The reason for this is that it has nearly the same shade of colors as the Juniors. We don't know which class copied the other but if we did we wouldn't want to hurt anybodvs feelings by expressing our thoughts, so we are keeping them to ourselves. Some day, though it may be far away, this class will reach the topmost round of the ladder of learning. When they do, it may be hoped that they have acquired all of the education that their heads will hold. The incoming classes will miss their smiling faces, as they are now seen passing to and fro in the halls. Nine out of ten students of this class know what chewing gum is made for. Any amount can be found under the seats, which has been chewed and laid up for future use. 30 31 FRESHMEN Class Officers: President ........................................Carrol Heath Vice President .................................Robert Shaffer Secretary and Treasurer ........................Marjory Beatty Class Colors: Class Advisor: Green and White Miss F.

Our class officers are nothing to be laughed at, we are proud of them. This being our first year in the high school, we are all watched by the three other grades. But even if we do appear to be green', that color is good for the eyes and it will wear off. As we pass from room to room we intermingle with the upper classes and look forward with bright anticipations to acting like those haughty Seniors. If you ask us if we like our teachers we will all agree that we do. But we like them because we believe in the Bible where it says: “Love one another. Sometimes we think that they don't like us, and at other times when they see us chewing five sticks of gum at once and don't make us dispose of it we think that they consider us hopeless. Some of us think the day will come when many of our famous class will be before the spotlights of some of the large cities. This class has in it people who excel in many lines of achievements, for instance there are athletes, musicians, and good and bad actors. We may be little But, Oh. My. 33 The class of 1929 feels that it is not to be slighted. We have one of the best groups of young people that ever attended this school. Our first battle in this school of learning was to sign a cantract with our teachers, saying that we would to the best of our ability fulfill the things that were expected of us. Of course we all lived up to them as anybody should. Before we enter the first year of high school, which the Freshies now hold, we will all know how to act, and do our parts as Freshies. Here’s to the eighth grade That dear old class, Good luck to us, hope we all pass. � 37 38 STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPS CLASS“C” Line-Up: C. Brockway L. E. W. Gibson L. T. H. Helmer L. G. R. Putnam C W.

The season opened as good as might be expected, winning the first game but losing the second. Homer showed its fighting spirit when they played two class B teams, getting defeated both times by low scores. In three games played. Nov. 7, Nov. 11, and Nov. 14, Homer piled up a score of 126 points while her opponents Litchfield, Concord, and Tekonsha respectively, remained scoreless. Homer was entitled to class C championship when they defeated Henry Ford School of Detroit by a score of 20-6. From the excellent coaching and the good team-work of the players, Homer High School has turned out a football team of which she has a right to feel proud. 39 Basketball The boys basketball season has been a complete success. At the start of the season, prospects looked dark, with only a few of last year's men to play. Coach Van Sickle, after careful selection whipped into shape one of the best teams Homer has ever had. Although many changes were made on the team, all of the boys played superbly. Good sportsmanship was shown among the players at all the games and at practice in the gym.

The season opened with a pre-season game with Litchfield—a victory for Homer. The next two games were played with Sherwood, and in both Sherwood proved to be the stronger of the two teams. The first game, played at Sherwood, ended with the score 45-4. while the game played at Homer the next week was much closer, the score being 20-17. The last game was a hard fought battle from the start to the final whistle, and both teams played an exceptional game. The next contest resulted in an overwhelming victory for Homer. Never before in the history of Homer girls' basketball had the Reading High School team been defeated by Homer. It was a hard tussel, and when the whistle blew, the score was 18-10 in Homer’s favor. The next week, however, Homer journeyed to Reading only to meet a defeat at the hands of Reading. The Readingites were determined to wreck their vengeance and they did so, defeating Homer 17-2. A very exciting game was played at Olivet, in which they were defeated by a score of 7-4. The last two games scheduled were with Tekonsha. Tekonsha's six claimed championship but their dreams faded when Homer defeated them 36-23. The last game with Tekonsha was a victory for Tekonsha 28-25. Too much cannot be said in praise of this year's squad of girls both collectively and individually. Chuddy Allen, Captain, and Hazel McArdle alternately played their usual fast games at running center. Marion Sinclair, Ida Sherman and Virginia Thompson handled the guard positions most accreditably and acceptably, and Alletta Hakes at the forward showed a speed which at all times was disconcerting to her opponents, and which frequently enabled her to take the ball through a seemingly inpenetrable defense. Nellie Phipps played a remarkable game from the other forward position, where her accurate basket shooting added many points to Homer’s scores. Ruth Thompson, jumping center, nearly always got the tip-off which helped a great deal in keeping the ball from Homer's opponents. It is necessary to mention those girls who, night after night came out to give the first team a good practice. Those girls were—Ruth Cunningham, Liora Kurtz, Alice Campbell, Marjorie Beatty, Marcia Estelle, Gula White and Hazel Hollo-baugh. 43 Debating Homer entered the State Debating League, which is sponsored by the University of Michigan. With Mr. Osborne as coach, Homer debated with Union City, Homer had the affirmative side of the question. The question for debate was, Resolved that the United States grant the Philippine Islands their complete and immediate independence. Homer's team consisted of Ruthella Deming, Earle Flint, and Elva Mc-Clintic. The decision was unanimous in favor of Homer, giving them four points The next debate was with Spring Arbor, Homer again having the affirmative side of the same question. The Homer team was the same as in the previous debate. Homer was defeated by a score of two to one. The team that debated against Hudson was Ruthella Deming, Earle Flint, and Bernadine Bartlett. Hudson won unanimously. The last debate was with Union City, who won by a score of three to one. Homer's total number of points for the season was six. This was not enough for the team to enter the elimination contest. 44 ORCHESTRA This orchestra has served its purpose in Homer High School. This group of young people, under the supervision of Miss Fultz has livened up many a banquet or played on some occasion for the school or for some organization. Some of the members are small in size, but that does not hinder their playing ability. A few of the players were in the orchestra last year but most of them are new members. William Nelson, a new man with the drums, has the honor of sitting in the front row. Alice and Walter Campbell, Dorothy Day, Harry Bunnell, Pauline McAllister, and Robert Gardner play the violins and cello, which shows that they know what they are doing. Merrill Mickle makes the saxophone wail melodiously, and there isn’t much that he can’t play. Leora Brainard is not an army bugler, but she does play a cornet for the orchestra. Louise McAllister is an artist at the piano, we couldn't g?t along without her. The last one to say anything about is their director. Miss Fultz was worked hard to organize this group of young musicians. She has led them when playing on all occasions. We are indeed proud of this group of people. ALUMNI 1879 Anna Sabin Gussie E.
