Gllazs Night Early in year the President of the United States issued a proclamation setting aside the year 1935 as the three-hundredth anniversary of the be- ginning of secondary education in our country. He requested that second- ary schools and others make suitable observation throughout the year. As part of the Tercentenary observation in Houghton High School this year, the Senior Class voted to forego the conventional type of class night exercises and present a play suggested by the National Education Associa- tlon. The title of the play was Modern Education on Trial. Under the cap- able direction of Miss Lees, the play proved to be very successful. The scene of the play was ln a court room. The so called fads and frills of education, impersonated by members of the class, were put on trial to de- termine their justifiability. Several of the witnesses presented exhibits of various phases of school work as evidence. The class night program was as follows: PROGRAM Processlonal-Tannhauser March ......... ...,,....

He Works up to the level of his abilities. Extra-Curricular Activities James has been a tireless worker in extra-curricular activities. He has held responsible class offices: he has been chairman for innumerable com- mittees: he has been prominent in Hi-Y and Home Room activities: he has served on the Amygdaloid stalf as business manager: he has taken part in school plays: he has been a. loyal teammate in football, basketball, and track. Leadership llis qualities for leadership are outstanding. He is an excellent busi- ness nianager: he is skilled in the art of persuasive speaking: he knows how to take jokes as well as give th,en1: he formulates original plans for social functions: he uses tact and zest in bringing those plans to fruition: and he has a smile that invites conlidence. Dependability He is dependable. Teachers and students have grown accustomed to saying, l.et's get 'Jinnny' 'l'obin to do this. W'e know it'11 be done then. And whether the responsibility is at t1'iva1 or a major one, Jir1nny Tobin is there to see that it's done. Modesty Jimmy is unusually modest. As his smile speaks for qualities of lcadership, his blushes speak for l1is undeniable modesty. Altruism .liminy gives his time and service generously without thought of re- ward. Ile seems to have made it a rule that his personal plans must take second place, that school, club, team and community come first. Loyalty His loyalty to lloughton High School is as unchallenged as his loyalty to his closest friends. Worthiness Because h,e is outstandinpfly honest, energetic, dependable, modest, al- truistic, and loyal, James Tobin has been chosen for the 1935 honor award. ' Name, I Peter Bugni ...... Robert E.

Secretary , . . . . .Margaret Starkweather. Treasurer . .. ..., Elvia Forsman. At each meeting, the chairman of the various committees made a re- port. A summary of these reports indicates our varied activities for the year. Program Committee: Esther Starkweather, chairman: Eureka Ku- jansuu, Emily Foote, Mary Holly, Katherine Laux, Katherine Nlemi, Mar- garet Rumph. This committee delegated the programs to the various com- mittees. Several musical programs, dramatics-two plays, talks by Miss Siewert and Mr. Edwards indicate the variety offered in the programs. This year we sent several representatives to a conference of Older Girls held in Hancock the latter part of March. One of our meetings was de- voted to a program consisting of reports on the conference and a military tap-dancing stunt performed by four of the girls who attended the con- ference. Social Service: Margaret LaBine, chairman: Alice Baxter, Ruth Cat- tell, Ruth Swift, Evelyn Karr. They have sponsored several worthwhile projects, among which was the collection of Victor records. This drive was so successful that the total number of records brought in, 3500, enabled the High School to obtain a radio. The girls enjoyed a talk on social Work by Mrs. W. G. Rice. Entertainment Committee: Ruth Coon, chairman: Helen Hartman, Katherine Sutinen, Charlotte Hornick, Marion Merrifield. This group spon- sored the Mother-Daughter tea for the mothers of the graduating girls. Through the activity of the chairman we contributed to the success of the Older Girls conference. Friendship Committee: Esther Brown, chairman, Asta. Johnson, Bar- bara Brunell, Helen Parks, Lillian Etapa, Margaret Simmons. To acquaint new girls with our school, to visit girls who were out of school for extend- ed illness or in the hospital, to extend sympathy for bereavement in the family, were the objectives which this group attained.

Through this committee many articles were returned to their owners. Dress Committee: Aileen Puttinen, chairman: Rosanna Markham, Frances Kehl, Eleanor Keranen, Mary Banks. This new committee had charge of our last meeting of the year. They put on an attractive style show with the girls in the sewing department as models. Rest Room Committee: Marjorie Courchaine, chairman: Anne Ken- nedy, Edith Fillbrook, Alice Jenkins, Mary Hobba, Helen Latimer, Kath- erine Erickson, Evelyn Beaucage. These girls, each for one period, took charge of the rest room. Judging from the records, they have been useful in many ways. Our stage manager was Jean Brunette. Through the activities and cooperation of these groups of girls, the Senior Girls' Club has contributed its part to the success of the past school year. JUNIOR HIGH GIRLS' CLUB The club was organized in October with the following officers: President ,...... . , . .Elsie Honkala.. Vice-President ..... .... S erene Simons.

Yes, you have guessed aright. A hearty hand-clasp and a sincere thank you, Mr. Loy Norrix, our superintendent, for the masterly manner in which you have met every engagement and discharged every duty. As a talented educator and executive We know and honor you, but the hidden talents of diplomacy, tact, and statesmanship brought to light in your negotiations for the financial maintenance of the schools of Portage Township were a delightful revelation. Our honors are heaped abundantly. The nation that has the schools, has the future. How splendidly, how successfully you have wrought for today and tomorrow! -Contributed. THE SENIOR PLAY Shirt Sleeves It is three generations from shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves, but wie hope that it won't be that long before we can see these actors at their best again. Under the able direction ot Miss Lees, the Seniors put on a play that was enjoyed by everyone attending. Shirtsleeves is the human. interest story of a wealthy man, Franklin Rand, embodied by Bob Horner, who looses all his money in a bank failure. His wife and elder daughter, Diana, go to Mrs. Rand's sister when the auction is held. Only through the cheer- ful influence of his twin children, Esther and Ted, is Mr. Rand able to keep his head above water. The heart interest is furnished by Donald Rand and Marjorie Scanlon: Kitty the maid, and Elmer, the milkman. In the last act, the black-hearted vllllan is thwarted by Marjorie. The flnal curtain descends on the once more happy family as Franklin has a job, Diana can go to school, and the vllllan is safe behind the bars. The cast is as follows: Franklin Rand .... Julia. Rand .... Esther Rand .. Theodore Rand . .. Diana Rand ..... Norman Aldrich . . . . . . Kitty ..........,. Elmer .....,.. Clarissa Scott . . . Midge Waring .. Donald Rand .,.. Marjie Scanlon . ,. Richard Crandall Auctioneer . . Clerk ..... Alpha . . . Omega ..... . . .

The latter type, as can be readily seen, are the most popular with us. In honor of his type I would like to tell of an experience with one typical of this type. We walked into the building and over to the office and asked the girl for directions as to whom to see about advertising. She directed us to a gentleman who was sitting on the front bumper of a car talking to a pros- pective buyer. He looked up and saw us coming. Something in the look of our eyes must have told him what we were after. His first words- coming through a grin which extended from ear to ear-were How much is it going to cost me? My partner, being up to the occasion, replied, Four dollars. Ya Want the same ad as last year? Yes, I guess that will do, replied the business man. Hearing that I walked over to the cashier, procured four dollars, and, with expressions of due appreciation, We departed. CProbably you have wondered why we traveled in pairs. Have you never heard the old saying, Misery loves company? J -J. T. UNDER PRESSURE fWho thinks up the moving picture titles?J Mr. Norrix-The Iron Duke. Miss Altzheimer-District Nurse.

S0 BEAUTIFUL A DAY It was so peaceful in study hall with only the buzz of the saws in the shop and the strains of some spring song as only grade children can sing it. I began to think of how nice it would be to be fishing. I took my pencil and tied a piece of string to it and began to flsh in the ink well. I sat there and cast in my line imagining myself on the banks of the Sturgeon. I wig- gled my line a bit but nary a nibble. Suddenly something took hold of my line and ran downstream. I tried reeling him in but my pole bent like a hoop. He jumped and I could see that he was about a tour-pound brook trout. I regained five yards on that jump. ' For half an hour I worked and gradually had him so I could reach him with my net. I reached out to dip him in but he gave one last frantic jump that almost pulled my arm off. I woke up with a start and there was the teacher at the end of my line. AN ANSWER T0 A QUESTOR I am 'just a farmer's daughter, With a. mild Mae VVestern air, I have brown eyes gay with laughter, And light brown curly hair. You may dream of black haired beauties, But I th,ink that I would do, For you see I'm not so snooty, And I make good Irish stew. If you ever take to farming, And you make some extra dimes. And if you think I would find you charming, Then come up n'see me sometime. -Rosanna Markham. WE WONDER- If Alice Gamble till thinks snakes eggs are long and narrow. How Mr. MacDonald broke his glasses. If Barbara B. makes a habit ofvthrowlng snowballs at teachers. Why Miss Lyon dashed in, and out of Yauch's Pool Room. Who started this ghastly epidemic of punning. If Num F. still thinks Dickens was a precious child. Why Mr. Gaynor is suddenly wearing a Fedora instead of a. cap. Who nearly tainted at The Bride of Frankenstein. When Kay W. and Mr. Thomas are to be married. Who's the hard guy Rosle ruined her hand on. If it was John Bunyun or Paul Bunyan who wrote Pilgrim's Progress. Who tied the tin cans on the cars at the Prom.

HAAS SL CO. 1875 - COMMENCEMENT DAY - 1935 The First Commencement Day-The First Class to receive Graduate Honors from the Houghton High School-was in the year 1875. Commencement Day was a scholastic event in those early days, three score years ago. It is such an event today. The years dull not its lustre nor de- tract from its significance. The diploma is as a Roll of Honor entitling the owner to enter college or uni- versity for further preparation in the art of making a living and in the vastly greater art of making a life. Were it possible to compile a history of the in- dividual graduates of the other years what a book of absorbing interest it would be! VVhat an inspiring record of achievement and progress, of excelling abil- ity and strength of character, of loyal citizenship and patriotic endeavor! Many there are and many you know who have reached these higher altitudes of life and living. The graduates of today have the same race to run, the same goal to attain, the same crown to win. May all success be theirs. The Houghton National Bank during its business activity of three score years and ten attests many splendid accomplishments of the graduates of Hough- ton High School.
