Glenn Bray Our dear fathers, mothers and relatives, members of the School Board, faculty, friends and school mates: It has fallen to my lot to be the one to bid you a hearty welcome here tonight, and my heart is throbbing at its very limit for fear that I will not be able to convey to you the pleasure that every member of the Class of ’21 feels that you are here with us tonight, for this is probably the most important event that has ever happened during our lives. Tonight marks the end of our school days together, and our launch- ing upon the great sea of life. What could be more encouraging and welcome to us at this time than that our fathers and mothers and rela- tives who are dear to us; the members of the School Board and faculty who have done all that is in their power to prepare us to cope with life; our friends to whom we have ever looked for example and advice; and our school mates with whom we have gone to school; should be here to cheer us as we set out to meet life’s great trials and when we need them most. Now I hope that you will all look back into your own lives and think of the times when you especially desired the presence and bless- ings of some person or group of persons and think how you felt; how deeply you welcomed them and then I hope you can sympathize with me when I tell you that I cannot find suitable words in the English language to express the depth and sincerity of our feelings. Each of us hopes to succeed in the future and some of us expect to continue in school and graduate again, but let me assure you that no other event in our lives will be remembered longer or reverenced greater than this evening when this class of twenty who have struggled together and had many good times together is forced to separate by the ad- vancement of Old Father Time. A few of us may get together again some time in the future, but it is highly improbable that there will ever be a time when the whole class will be together again, so once more, let me ask, what could be more welcome to us than that all our friends and relatives should be here to celebrate this meeting and thus impress it so deeply upon our minds that it will never be forgotten. Again we wish you to enjoy what the other speakers of the class have to say, yet however much we may have tried to prepare something which would be worthy for you to listen to, we realize that it is not suf- ficient, still it is the best that we are capable of, so please judge us with a sympathetic heart. Be mild in your interpretation of Velma’s will, for she is young and her ideas, of business may not as yet be fully developed. And I would personally advise you not to take Florence’s prophecy too deeply to heart, for she, too, is young, and may be inclined to put a few of her own hopes and desires in for some one else by mistake when you older people would not dare. So, in closing, let me again greet you; bid you welcome and ask you to give us your good wishes as we step down from this platform into Life and the Future. (Class |Jropl]ccy Florence M. Mock, Laingsburg, Michigan. Sept. 6, 1931. Miss Esther Warren, Portland, Oregon. My dear Esther:— Your letter which you addressed to Berlin followed me all over Europe and finally caught up with me at New York. Miss Densmore travelled with me, to pose as chaperon, but to tell the truth I changed places with her. She was a very flighty girl on our trip and has left a trail of broken hearts clear around the globe. I have just oodles of news to tell you as we have seen so many of the class of ’21 since we have been traveling. To me the biggest surprise of all was Evelyn Bearslee. While we were in Berlin we went to Grand Opera. The singer that night was from America. Lo and behold, when the singer was announced, who should it be but our old-time class mate, Evelyn, now a renowned opera singer, known on both continents. When I heard her voice it reminded me of silver dewdrops. Her open- ing selection was “Last Hallowe’en I Looked My Love to See.” While we were in Paris we went to the style show—you know Miss Densmore’s failings. Beautifully gowned men and women passed before our gaze, among them Max Smith, in the latest Parisian dress suit. Can you beat it? As we left the style show and were sauntering along the streets, we noticed a sign reading “Ladies’ Shoe Shining Parlor,” Giffels Giffels, and as the name was familiar, we stepped inside and who should greet us but Carl and Cyril. Of course they were glad to see us and offered to shine our shoes free of charge. I guess they didn’t know what a big job they were undertaking. Of course we couldn’t miss going to Monte Carlo—we felt well repaid for our visit as we met Beatrice W'arren, and her husband, Count Rigellto, who are spending their honeymoon there. I had a good chat with her. In Russia, we found Homer Throop, a free verse poet—has to give his poems away to get rid of them. We scarcely recognized him, as he lets his hair grow long like the natives, and parts it in the middle, and with his flowing ties, he is quite the poet. During our travels we visited the Holy Land. One day while we were in Jerusalem we met Harold Shue, now a Jewish Rabbi. He con- fidentially told me he had not eaten a piece of pork in four years. I heard that Ethel Swarthout is in China, teaching the latest style hair dressing to the natives. Theo Hills is a matron of an orphan asylum and is quite happy and contented in her work—mothering so many children. She told me that Opal West has married a farmer and is living near Laingsburg. I suppose you expect me to tell you next that Glenn and Delphine are married—I guess they saw so much of each other in school that they got rather tired of each other. Contrary to all expectations, Delphine is an old maid. She never quite got over that affair with the barber from Class :|lropl]ecg Hickesville Junction. Of course we all expected Glenn to be a great orator or scientist, but now he seems quite satisfied with scientific farm- ing out in Woodhull, with Mattie Bolton as his wee, winsome wife. Basil wasn’t so much of a surprise as I thought he would be. You remember his old saying, “Pretty classy-looking Jane, eh?” Well, I saw him in Turkey—a shiek, with a harem of thirteen beautiful wives. About the first I met when I arrived home was Velma Pope, who rushed up to me and asked if I had seen anything of Homer while abroad. She displayed a beautiful diamond ring, saying they were to be married on his return. I congratulated her—she surely needs all the congratulations she can get. I received a letter from Esther Watling, a few days ago—you know she is a censor of women’s wearing apparel in the movies. She wrote that Esther Bloomfield was an acrobat in a theater in the South. Can you imagine that for Esther? Another interesting thing she wrote was that Beulah Ripple was Dean of the Women at the University of Schnectady and a leader of the intellectual circle. I met Etta Sayles while in New York—still studying for the opera. You didn’t know Miss Bunting, our English and Latin teacher—she was just adorable and, of course, we all expected to hear of her mar- riage any time, but she has surprised us all and the latest report was that she was a confirmed old maid—doing dressmaking. You have often heard me speak of Mr. Du Vail, our superintenden 1. During our last year in school, we all thought he would end up as a professor of the U. of M., but instead he is superintendent of the Gravel Pit at the Sink Hole. Miss Dean is married to a fisherman and lives on the shores of Diamond Lake. Miss Densmore received a letter from the former Mrs. Helen Selby- Decker. She is divorced now and has eloped with a long-haired violin- ist from Russia, Prof. Zebrieschyk, whom she met at a conservatory where she was studying. Quite a contrast to her former husband. But, last of all, I must tell you about our beautiful city of Laings- burg, and how it has improved in those short years. With its paved streets, daylight service, new opera house and town pump, it is quite a metropolis. Our dear old Laingsburg High does not seem like the old school house we left in '21. We now have a consolidated school, with a manual training department, a properly equipped laboratory, large gymnasium where physical culture can be taught, auditorium, wonderful swimming pool, besides modern playground equipment—in all it is a modern High School. I seem to have mentioned about everyone in our old class, in fact, I feel quite like a news reporter on the Laingsburg Chronicle. Hope you think I deserve about nineteen pages in reply. Lovingly, FLORENCE MOCK. (Hlass J cmg School Days I. School days, a school house, some freshies, Autumn of seventeen, We entered the Laingsburg High School Awkward, and young, and green. Four happy years spent together, Striving with might and main; Although we roam Away from our homes, We will long for the old days again. (Chorus) : School days, dear old school days Down at Laingsburg High. It was there we studied, Whispered on the sly; Ne’er a thought of parting As the days flew by, Back in dear old High School, Classmates, you and I. II.

Life’s pathways open before us, God help us to choose the best; And what e’er we do— We’ll be loyal and true To home and the L. H. S. (Class IHtll Velma Pope We, the Senior Class of Laingsburg High School, Village of Laings- burg, county of Shiawassee, State of Michigan, on this sixteenth day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and twenty- one, realizing the brevity and uncertainty of life, and being in a sound and disposing memory, do make our last will and testament in the fol- lowing manner: First: Certain personal property shall be disposed of in the man- ner indicated below: Florence Mock bequeaths to Ruby Sayles her “gift of gab.” Glenn Bray and Delphine Austin bequeath to Catherine Orr and Wendall Sexton their private table in the southeast corner of the Assembly Room for the purpose of studying (?). Basil Kent be- queaths to Leo Lee his own book entitled, “The Three Evils of the Day, Wine, Women and Song.” Homer Throop bequeaths to Kenneth Shue a song of his own composition, entitled “A Good Woman is Hard to Find.” Harold Shue bequeaths to Paul Harmon his mild and gentle disposition. Second: The Senior Class bequeaths to the class of '22 the privi- lege of borrowing Mr. Van Tassel’s wagon to take a sleigh ride when- ever it so desires (providing his consent be obtained). Third: We, the Graduating Class, bequeath to Mr. Du Vail and Mr. Stull, our appreciation for their noble efforts in beautifying the school lawn, and our congratulations on their great success. Fourth: We, as a class, do give, devise and bequeath to next year’s bookkeeping class the roomy racks, tables and other equipment which have been especially designed and arranged for its convenience (?). Fifth: We, as Seniors, bequeath to next year’s Freshmen all ink bottles, quids of gum, broken pencils and rulers, pens and all candy and g m papers found in our individual desks to be used in any manner they may deem fitting and proper. Sixth : We, the members of the Class of ’21. bequeath to the Board of Education, to the faculty, to our parents, to the lower classmen, and to the community our best wishes and appreciation for their loyal sup- port and encouragement which has made our Annual a success and has made this night possible. Lastly: We heartily appoint Basil Murphy executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof we do this day, June sixteenth, A. D., one thou- sand nine hundred and twenty-one set our hand and seal. Signed, sealed and witnessed. THE SENIOR CLASS OF ’21. (Class History Evelyn E. Beardslee, ’21 Time rolls slowly away. Yet how fast when I think of the four years that have passed since the class of ’21 began its career in Laings- burg High School. We were but Freshmen then, but oh, how proud, of our officers, proud of our colors, proud of our mother. But these were all worthy of our pride for who could wish for more patriotic' colors than red, white and blue, or a more comprehensive motto than: “Graditim,” with its deep meaning, so deep that some of us never really knew what it meant. Surely this was a hard and troublesome year for us little Fresh- men when we thought we really knew so much, and great was our disappointment to find that our teachers thoroughly disagreed with us and continued to cram Latin and Algebra into our poor bewildered heads. However, with our officers to guide us, and our colors to look to, we managed to survive that terrible first year. Then come our Sophomore year which glided smoothly away, leav- ing memories with us of the socials and parties of that year. Next upon the screen of memory appears the beginning of our Junior year. We then began to think that our goal did not seem so far away, and that some day we should be mighty Seniors. Though a whole year has passed since then I still remember the Junior banquet and what a crowning success it was. But I must not linger too long upon the happy events of those first three years, for I have yet to tell of the Senior year, the last and best of them all. The long years that will come and go shall not blot out the memories of this one short year. As I think of the events of this year I believe that as Seniors we are more closely united. There is a bond of fellowship existing between us such as that existing between veterans of war. For we, too, fought battles together, battles of crain instead of blood. And it is this bond of fellowship that makes our Senior year the happiest and longest re- membered of all the four years in High School. With good principals, good teachers, good luck, the Class of ’21 has passed through High School with flying colors. Are these colors pulled down on graduation day? No, indeed. They have been and still are flying in all parts of our country. Time will continuously turn out the original number of this ciass. But we may all meet again in the Great Beyond and there talk over the memories of our High School days. Jalehictorg Delphine Austin It is not strange that we, as Seniors take a different attitude toward Commencement than we ever have before. When we were Freshmen it was only natural that we should look at the Seniors with awe. At that time we regarded Commencement as the turning point in our lives, after which we would never again be the same. When we had been in High School a while we dreaded Commencement, for it would take us away from our friends, our books, and our good times. But now, we, the Class of ’21, stand before you with the knowledge, or at least the beginning of knowledge, of what Commencement means to us and what part it will play in our lives. We no longer think of these graduating exercises as the turning point in our lives; it is only a milestone on our way. Life will not be entirely different afterwards. To be sure, we will have to stand alone now; we will have to work harder, ard life will be more disappointing and not so full of good times. But our studying is not over; our teacher will be Life; our school room, the World, and although we cannot tell what the lessons will be, we think they will be those of honesty, purity, courage, and generosity. School board, teachers, and friends: In behalf of the Senior Class I thank you all for your loyalty to us and your co-operation and entire sympathy with us. We realize that our High School training has been excellent preparation for us; and we also realize that we owe a great deal of our success in High School to you. We wish to thank our fathers and mothers in a very special way. You were the ones who gave us the desire for an education, then made fulfillment of that desire possible. We want to make you proud of us; all of you who have been so kind and true. We feel that we are going to make good because you and the dear old Laingsburg High School are behind us. “I would be true, for there are those who trust me; I would be pure for there are those who care; I would be strong, for there is much to suffer, I would be brave, for there is much to dare. I would be friend to all; the foe, the friendless, I would be giving, and forget the gift; I would be humble, for I know my weakness, I would look up—and laugh, and love, and lift.” ■presibmt’s J i itress Beatrice M. Warren June, the month of Commencement and roses is here again, while we scarcely realize that our High School days are past. It seems but a short time since we started in as Freshmen, and while we have been working together, friendships have been formed which will never be broken. Is this to be the end of our school days? No! It is merely a beginning for we have much to learn from experience and in the school of life. We can never forget the debt of gratitude we owe our teachers who have worked so faithfully with us, and, in behalf of the Class of 1921, I wish to express our thanks to the Board of Education for the help they have given the High School, also to the Parent and Teachers’ Association for the interest they have taken in the school; to our parents and all those who have helped to make our graduation possible. Classmates, I thank you for having chosen me as your president, for I consider it an honor to be president of the largest class that has been graduated from Laingsburg. And last, but not least, to our faithful janitor, Mr. Stull, who has been ever ready to help us in any way, we will ever be grateful. Soon most of us will leave our old home town to enter higher fields of learning and complete what we have already begun, satisfying our thirst for more knowledge, though it be accomplished “Step by Step.” “Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Foot prints on the sands of time. Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us then, be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.” To our teacher and friend. Miss Densmore, who has ever been ready and willing to help us out of our difficulties, who made our play a suc- cess, and who has always proved herself a good sport and faithful companion, ever mindful of the happiness of others at the many joy- ful events we have spent with her; we, the Seniors of 1921, take this means of acknowledging our indebtedness to her and of expressing oui unbounded love, gratitude and everlasting friendship. vV� : ' i t .. � A rjtur tiru A jJAj { frrtef Lrhs .l ifit Q sSy TAtASl .Societ� JUritcups (Ecmtimteb Senior Play It has been the custom of the Senior classes for many years to pre- sent a play some time during the year to help defray the expenses of the Annual. Most of us have always had cherished ideas as to our own theatrical abilities, and this gave us the opportunity to demonstrate them. Since the class was so large it was difficult to find a play that would take in all the members of the class, so we decided on two plays, “The Burglar’’ and “The New Co-Ed.” “The Burglar” was a one-act comedy in which five girls kept the audience roaring with laughter.

She carried out the plan very nicely and succeeded in using the chorus for two or three occasions. The following year, 1919-1920, Miss Cobb took up the direction of the chorus and had a phenomenal success in the musical play, “Miss Cherry Blossom,” the receipts from which were $100.00. This money was used in the purchase of a Victor Victrola for the High School room. Previous to the year 1920-1921 the chorus had met after school hours. This, however, was unsatisfactory because many of the pupils were unable to remain after school for the chorus, and this eliminated many who might have greatly assisted. As a result, at the opening of the present year it was determined to use twenty minutes of two morn- ings each week of the regular school time for the chorus work. The work was made optional and two-thirds of the pupils took advantage of the opportunity. This gave a chorus of sixty voices. Miss Selby took the work over at the opening of the year. After a few weeks of preliminary adjusting of voices for singing parts, Prof. Alexander of the Michigan State Normal Conservatory was consulted about Christmas music and at his suggestion the Cantata, “The Holy Child” was given in the Congregational church the Friday evening before Christmas with a good reception. Immediately after Christmas, work was begun on the Cantata, “The Lord Is Risen,” by Ira M. Wilson. This was given in the Baptist church, Easter evening, before a fine audience. The remarkable success of the chorus this year is the result of Miss Selby’s excellent direction and the co-operation of the members of the chorus. (Die Hiql] Pelioni (Orchestra Miss Helen J. Selby, Director. Music is now recognized as playing a very important part in the lives of High School students, and with this in view the students of our High School organized an orchestra a year ago under the direction of Miss Helen J. Selby. During the year it provided music for the following events: The Standard Bearers’ Club at Middle Berry. The Methodist Pastoral Reception. Congregational Christian Endeavor Special. Baptist Evening Lecture. Lady Maccabees Installation of Officers. Parent-Teacher Club. A few evenings at the Oasis Theater. Also various minor occasions. For this the members of the orchestra have received much praise and encouragement for their splendid efforts. The organization consists of ten pieces and the director. It is expected that more may be added next year. One quarter credit is given for a year’s work, and rehearsals are held each Monday and Wednesday. . The members wish to express their sincere appreciation and grati- tude for the inspiration and success of the orchestra, made possible bv her unflagging interest, to their director—Miss Selby.
