H. S. there came a green fiock Big ones and little ones, short ones and tall, Some of great knowledge some with none at all. In a few days there came a sign on the board And into a classroom rushed the green hoard. To elect their officers to last through the year, And who they are you will now soon hear Amid the strife of tumult and rent Rena Stichler was elected president. The number next highest was to be vice- That was Loyola, now wasn't that nice? To Freshman, an ofiice seems quite an honor, But what one can help it when it's forced upon her. Next for a Secretary we must elect, And Donna, a good one they did select. The Freshmen's money, oh what a lot: Someone to hold it, watch your next ballot. The trusty Lawrence this oHice obtained, And said, Pay your class dues, and none refrain. After the great event was o'er.i They said they would shiYk'neveri'nore, But work with the will that's hard to kill, And that class succeeded as any class will, Who has for its motto, Upward and Onward. Not a better aim ever was heard. There's Dorothy with hair black as jet, And the saintly Clifford never told a lie yet. Richard, the blond, ever happy and gay, And Beatrice, ever smiling, so they all say. Mary, the orator, with words so full of vim, Cecil fnow don't ever tellj ever cares for the Hymn, And hymns and books never mean success. Vain Virgiline's curls but pretty nevertheless, Thelma, so shy and yet so sweet, And Daniel, the shyest you ever did meet. The best yellmaster is that jovial Ray, And the very cutest boy you'll find is Jay. Elinor, Myrtle, and Bernice, all good Freshmen, too, James, John and Cleon, who want nothing to do. Ellen and Edwinna, 'two cherry lassies, Frank and Lewis, never late to their classes. Elizabeth and the youthful young Josephine, And Goldie, who rides in a Ford limousine. Beatrice R. and Edith Stull, Ever ready to give '25 a right good pull. Yea class, Yea class, Rah, Rah, Rah. - We may be slow, we may be green, But we'll make the best class You ever have seen. We, the Seniors of 1922, who wish to express our app' ciation to our ever faithful janit jg Dan, do hereby dedicate thisiipage.

PIERSON Parents, relatives, members of the faculty, board of education, schoolmates, and friends: The occasion which calls us together at this time is one to be long remembered by us. We, as the class of '22, desire most of all to express foremost one word, in its highest degree, that is Welcome - Tonight we are beholding the last of our high school days, perhaps the last time that all members of our class shall meet. To us this is the momentous moment of our career, so it is our desire to have our friends present to witness the occasion. We sincerely bid you welcome parents, relatives and friends, for without your urging, aiding, patience and perseverance we would not be here now, ready to launch out into a greater field of life. It is you who have made it possible that 'we might enjoy the happy school days which are now closing. We especially wish to greet the members of the faculty and the school board. We can in no Way make known the credit due you in our speeches this evening, so we will do our best to make you feel at home in this quivering atmosphere. We, the class of 1922, are not leaving empty-handed or alone, for we are laden with the fundamentals for a broader field of life and the happy memories of high school days, its warm-hearted teachers and their measureless kindness. Schoolmates, we part companionship tonight to go to our several homes, our various amusements and our separate work. May our future lives be as useful as our school has been pleasant and may the world, the great school in which we are all scholars, find us faithful in all the good lessons we have to learn, may we make our lives a grand success, and be admitted to a higher school in the life to come. Tonight our class stands before you in an unusual way, unusual because each member has something to do. Please think kindly of each one, for with many of us it is our first attempt at public speaking. Now we stand in an unbroken row of classmates. In the great world outside there are and must be differences of lot and position: one will be fortunate, another will toil as nobly perhaps, but will fall in with adverse currentsg one will become famous, with his name staring in large letters from the handbills of the drama of this generation, while another lurks in small type among the supernumeraries. No symbol tells that which divides one from another. You and I can have no choice, therefore I must submit to stand here as a speaker instead of sitting a listener with you in the audience. Now, in behalf of our Senior Class, may I again greet you and bid you welcome? We thank you most heartily for your presence, for it gives us a thrill of pleasure that we will never forget. We ask your good wishes for each member of the class as he steps out into Life and the Future. I VALEDICTORY We have crossed the Bay. The Ocean lies before us. Friends, graduation days are here and this class, as every graduating class, reaches the zenith of commencement. As true as that word implies we are not completing but only beginning our life's career We have crossed the bay of early preparedness, now the ocean of life's vast opportunities lies before each one of us. We have truly crossed the bay of total dependency, early preparation and the bay of imitativeness. From infancy, day by day, year by year, our characters and reputations have been built by the acts we have performed, imitating those with whom we associate. These acts make up the drama of Life which is recorded on the shores of time. lmitating days were childhood days, days of carefree pleasures when little was based upon our doing our part well to determine the success of any undertaking. Burdens of undueweight have not weighted us down nor brought responsibilities greater than we could ably bear. The smaller duties of l'fe have taken their place one by one in this bay of daily routine, now greater tasks demand our attention and necessity will call upon us to base our future activities on knowledge of experiences gained in the past. In early days and in school days we have crossed the bay of total dependency, crossed the bay where our parents have been pilots of our ships and directed each course. Words cannot express our appreciation to those mothers and fathers who have worked so diligently to put each one of us here. On the tossing waves of the bay we have also depended much on our teachers who have given unfailing atten- tion in our behalf. We owe a great deal to our present High School teachers, who have contributed freely of time and patience that we might receive the best that they possess to make this event in our lives possible. We are also especially greateful to the work and efforts the School Board has put forth in making our bay of High School days easier to cross by providing the many school comforts that we might receive benefit from these. Daily we have grown braver to face the storms of life by help and examples of those about us. As a ship leaves wakes on the water where the close follower may keep on the right route, so has our sailing been made easier by the influence of 'those who have passed before us. Our ship of inexperience has rocked and swayed on the waves of trouble :ind some of the members of our crew yielded to these waves and are absent from the class of 1922. Excelsior, that word meaning onward and upward, we have taken as the name for our ship of inexperience and this ship has been blown onward by the winds of encouragement and persuasiveness. Few winds of interruption or obstacles have in any way hindered or marred the progress of our journey which draws to a close tonight. Times have been when we needed propellors of strong will and confidence to guide our ship. Those who had pluck and used these when the time presented to make such implements necessary have been the victors Twenty of us have 'thus crossed the bay leading into the ocean of wider opportunities. As we near this great ocean, the sun peeps over the eastern horizon to greet us. It is the morning, the dawn of our lives. In this great ocean the Master has a task for each of us to accomplish. Many may prepare farther for the storms on the ocean before plunging into its depth, but some of us will find ourselves immediately battling higher, stronger and mightier waves of trouble than we were compelled 'vo face in crossing the bay. Winds, pushing and encouraging our ships forward, 'will not be present, but those tending to make life's pathway seem more difficult may lead us many times from a direct route to opportunity's door. Mightier propellors will have to be used: those of heroism, strong, lasting friendships and good characters. Those to guide our ship of fortune will determine our destiny. Sail forth into the sea of life 0, gentle loving classmates all. And safe from all adversities Upon the bosom of that sea. May thy comings and thy goings be For gentleness and love and trust Prevail o'er angry waves and gust, For in the wreck of noble lives Something immortal still survives. v F CLASS ESSAY INTELLECT Q Intellect is the power or faculty of knowing. What person has yet been able to mark the steps and boundaries of the natural development of intellect? Intellect developes spontaueouslyg as mind grows it is inspired by every marvelous happening of the hour. In infancy what is it that teaches us the difference between right and wrong? Is it the mind alone? No! God enters into every mind long before we assume any form of responsiblity. Early in life we have little control of our thoughts and are far from master of our ideas. As each mind grows by. little it becomes conscious of what is done and said. We do not determine what we think: that is determined by inspirations. Whichever these inspirations are good or bad determines what we think and the way we are intelleciually insp'red. In every person's mind some words and impression remain while others are forgotten. All these things gradually unfold to the world a mind just as a bud opens and Dresents the wonders of God's power. Each mind does not become intellectually inspired by our associates or environments and thus :Ear these have been our parents, teachers and friends. We shall some time unfold to the world what we have intel- lectually won during these twelve years of training. It will be some time before we will assume all we have the power of assuming. But are 'we not more :Bully developed. intellectually and morally, than when we started in our training twelve years ago? Just as rays of light pass through space, so also do some of our achievements pass by unrecognized. But light, when it strikes an object, causes it to glow, and thus do our achievements, when they are faithfully performed, cause fellow minds to glow with the light of twelve years of 'training and study, shining on our pathway and inspiring us to the fullest measure. Let us strive to be 'worthy of those years of effort expended by ourselves and our friends, in preparation for life's w0rk. EXCELSIOR BLANCHE BURWELL Do we, as individuals, fully understand the 'term Excelsior ? The dictionary defines it as more lofty, still higher, and ever upward. The word excelsior has a three-fold meaning, yet beautiful in the sense of that which it implies. We, ns Freshmen. with an insight into the future, chose as our motto this word Excelsior, and through our four years of high school life have tried to keep it ever before us as a Hxcd ideal. Excelsior, with its full meaning, has inspired within us the desire for the higher realms of life, educationally, socially and religiously. Did you ever, as a child, stand before a building whose spires reached far up into the clouds which floated over the city? And did you not have vague ideas of what you should see, if you could but reach the top of those spires? In much the same manner we as Freshmen on the threshold of high school life, desired a glimpse into the future, into the dazzling brilliancy of the Mysteries of Time. For a child to venture even the start to the spires would have- been 'a- dangerous hazardg and even as you were .attempting to :Hnd a means of gratifying your wish, you were seized from danger by your mother or some other loved one, and were led home to stay until the time should come when you would be able to make the trip in safety. So it has been with us during these years, even as we were staying away from the better and brighter influences, we were led back by our faithful com- panions nnd teachers. Perhaps, as the child grows older, his wish 'to know more of this building gradually becomes an ideal The parents may humor him to the extent of taking him through the lower floors and letting him while away happy hours in safety, playing in the many rooms on these floors. But when he begs to rush higher he is told that the best way to one's ambition is to begin from the lowest point and then to work one's way carefully but surely upward. Thus he whiles away his early years, and little by little his parents will allow him, under their guidance, to ascend a little higher. In a like manner our ambitions have expanded, and under the careful guidance of our parents and instructors, have been allowed to broaden our interests. Oliver Wendall Holmes has said, I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we are standing, as the direction in which we are moving. 'I am sure each one of us has an ideal, perhaps no two have the same ideal, but as long as our ideals are lofty ones, and we :ire striving to be true to them, we will be travelling in the right direction. When the child has grown to youthhood, then the time has come when he is able to persue his way alone, and with little aid from others. If his ideal has been firmly established, he will now set out to explore those parts of the building hitherto denied him. He will pass through 'many doors into corridors and rooms which he has never before entered, and finally he will come to the great stairway. Step after step he will leave behindg heavy b ,lts will bar the doors in the passage before him, but rather than turn aside he will wrestle with their weight until he is able to move them. With us, persuing our ideals, we, too, have many obstacles to over- come, but true success comes not ,of turning aside or of turning back to retrace our steps, but of making each obstacle merely a step in the stair that leads us up to the realization of our hopes. 1 Perhaps as he climbs, he shallvgrow weary, but even as the darkness is rfallinfr. he will finally raise the huge bolt that bars the last door, and will joyously ind out in the open under the light of, God's stars. Looking below him he will see 'thc moving throng of humanity as a sweet picture and will hear the street's noises as :1 sweet refrain wafted up by the breeze. And, looking about him, he feels the trun- iloy in the final act of his drama ff An Ideal, and will forever be thankful that e did not falter or turn aside, ut keeping ever upward, he had passed all the bolts and bars, and had at last reached the stars. How poor his triumph is whose venture pays Because strong friends of his have willed it so Have pulled the strings and schemed in cunning ways To drag him up or boost him from below. How splendid is his triumph who has won Alone, unaided, honor and renown, Who owes no thanks and rises to his own Despite the world's attempt to keep him down. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS M. G. FERGUSON Tonight we are passing a' very important milestone along our path of life. It is the end of our four yearsa in high school, but by no means the end of our education: for some of us will -go on to higher fields of learning, while others will gather more knowledge from practice and experience. While we have been associaftes, each one with the other as classmates, :friend- ships have been formed which ,will never be broken friendships, and will be a very happy memory in our later- years. We will never forget the 'Debt of gratitude we owe our teachers. They have been working with us and 'fomgus and the class of nineteen hundred twenty-two really appreciates their faithfulness. In behalf of the class of nineteen hundred twenty-two I wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the Board of Education, whose efforts have always been to the betterment and advancement of our high school. And especially do we wish to express our appreciation to our parents. It is they who have played the largest part in making our high school life possible. Classmates, I thank you fpr having chosen me as your president, for I :feel it to be an honor to be president' of so large a class. This event tonight has its touch of sadness as well as a feeling of joy, for after tonight the pathways of our lives, which for four years have been travelling nlonir a common highwaiv, will begin to- diverge, as each member of the class of '22 begins to assume t e responsibilities and duties which his or her particular place in li!e's scheme of things calls for. In a few short years we will be not a class of '22 but separate citizens of our country. From this position it is with a feeling of sadness that I bid you each farewell, hoping for a glorious future for all. May each one of us be true to the best that is in us, as we step forward and take up our burdens of life.

GIFTATORY HELEN SCHOALS AND EULAH PIERSON While we were Strolling once, not long ago. we lay down to sleep, but were suddenly awakened by a wand touching our shoulder, and there stood a fairy who held a basket in each hand. She 'told us that each basket contained gifts for ten members of the Senior class. which were not to be opened until class night. Then suddenly she disappeared. This is what the baskets contained: To: Revah, though so young and small, Has chosen a Rose for her call, And to give her a substitute I'1l donate this bouquet of roses so cute. F Gail has taken his Ayes without a frown, - .. That to him ln the past four years have been marked down. I know he'l1 be game and bid goodbye to us all, Return home and read this book on How to be Bashfulf' As Genevieve is very fond of Robbins, Who in Owosso does live, And as he is not here tonight These blind Robbins I'll gladly give. Leland, who a model boy has been, And who never believes in staying out later than ten, I'll just present this brand-new watch, But I hope that before ten it will surely stop. Eulah, with a book in her hand For the past four years has studied to beat the band. Her laurels are won, her school work done, So take a complete rest and chew this gum. George, our high school dude, Who says My word? so 'very rude, Has chosen for his vocation Austin, Texas, in looking for location. Doris, in her sweet, quiet way, A tune on the piano for us did play, In return I'll present her with this sheet music, And now that school is o'er she may go home and use it. Vera, the fairest of lasses, Who cannot make her eyes behave, We, the class of '22, Hereby present her a pair of Vernon's glasses. Blanche, who is known by her gay laughter, Also as the fastest talker, Has chosen an Oal'land to save 'walking And gumdrops lo stop her fast talking. Meryle, without a frown, Has written I'm an undertakern down, And is seen by night and day .Ioyriding in this toy hearse about the town. Althea who does prefer For her companion Mr. Parker I'll present a Parker House roll To remind her of some stroll. Mildred to her class is late And thus the rule she violates, Then at the door 'we hear her knock, So I'll present her with this clock. ' Kenneth an exception has been to the rule And passed without a girl all through school, Yet to him we do not care criticism to hurl But we'll present him with this small girl. Here's to Vernon, who thinks himself wise, A nice little kewpie, with Vera's eyes. Now do not break it or throw it away, For when you are lonely, with it you may play. Helen when days are lonely, And of Kenneth's sport she's thinking only, And good luck to him she may wish, So I'll present to her this fish. -'Y ,- ., . . , , , I-lorols Lillian to whom all look , ' For some very good lessons on How to Cook. When she has time and wishes to bake She can make Lester a nice sugar cake. Here's to Murdo a nice little sermon, Who, of course, couldn't carry a gun. Now all watch him when speaking For he sure makes a fine deacon. From this small book may be seen How Majel may become a Dean, And this her ambition is to be As all may plainly see. To Ruby a Victor record I'll present, Although not 'worth a cent. It may help her to be content While Victor his vacation spent. When Ethel finds herself alone, 1 And the moments long have grown, And with this green shade for her eyes I She may feel content to study till ambition dies. CLASS QUARTETTE Soprano ..........

All appeared Znore or less verdant, and all possessed quaking hearts and knocking knees. This -:-lass was indeed promising material offering vast areas of 'vacant brain for cultivation. We were finally herded into the assembly room where we made the usual scramble for seats, paying no attention to the rather stout lady, whom the older students called Miss Getman, who was watclnnfg us with a rather puzzled look upon her face. Suddenly through one of the numerous doors czime a man of .vhom '.ve had heard, and we thought it advisable io czilzn ourselves for a few minutes, Th's was Mr. Gibson, who undertook the tedious task of inltatinz Frcshiesiato the mysteries of bell systems and rooni locations. lt is st.ll a mystery how we freshes ever located ourselves in that series of class rooms. During the ,irsl few days very few people who registered in a certain class were known to armear. We soon became acquainted wiih our surroundings and within :everal weeks our bearings became adjusted. Then someone called a class meeting and we elected officers for the year. Blanche Burwell was our Hrst presidentg Gail Rowley, vice presidentg Ruby Sayles, secretary, and Clarence Doyle, treasurer. And alon'r with this comes the memory of our freshmen class meetings where everyone talked and no one listened. Our old dislike for class rooms was renewed when we received our :eport card' for the first mon.h, but how we d d love the ass.mbly room where the Seniors :trutted with dignity and we freshmen timidly fazed. But alas, our first year sped all tio quickly and at the beginning of our recand year fourteen of our thirty-seven ia.led to return. These fourteen each had their reasons for leaving. Some were so possessed with wit and knowledge they needed 'no more schooling We Sophs, already strutting with dignity, were located in our various seats toward the center of the assembly room with 'teachers to watch over us. Again we organized our class with Edgar Wright as president. A few weeks later we did unto others as we had been dune by and initiated the new fresh- men, and they soon exhibited their appreciation by givin! us our class reception. As Juniors we increased the prestige we had already gained as Sonhomores. But we could only boast of nineteen members, for although one of our wanderin! classmates had returned, olthers had left The year sped swiftly and we soon found ourselves giving the annual Senior-Junior banquet with all the pomp and splendor available. When the first morn of our Senior year dawned we found ourselves ready Lo sit and bid Senior right and dignity to rule supreme. And as we sat and gazed fn each the wonder grew, that our small heads could carry all we knew. Eut we were also prepared to battle for our desired goal, with brave hearts and loyal spirits and to be all that we had set out to be. Many were the odds aeainst us. We found our number decreased by one. Blanche Ferrigan. However, Genevieve Bixby having heard, no doubt, of our distress in this regard, pitied us and increased our number again to twenty by her presence. Having decided to publish our annual we chose with much care the annual board, so that the fourth volume of the Looking Glass might be a worthy successor of the third. But our success has not been due to ourselves alone for we owe a ffreat debt of gratitude to each zeacher and every parent. . In all our'work we have atempted to do the best within our power for the bet- terment cf our school. What we have been able to do serves onlv as a :framework for our successors to bu'ld upon. We have tried to make this framework as sound as possible and hope that the pupils of the future will profit by our mistakes and will carry on our banner to complete success. va .

Edith Stull SKB l'-CH Mrs. Jack Burton, a society lady, has a hobby of collecting spoons from the various hotels. One day, just before she was to entertain several of her friends :it lea, among them Mrs. Hereford Carr, a woman high in social circles, a detective appears 'to see about the spoons Mrs. Burton has collected. The restaurant owners had reported great losses, because all society collected them. Mrs. Burton, being very horrified at the sight of the detective, begged her to wait until the departure of her friends. Miss Clark was very agreeable, saying that she would wait. In the meantfme, Evelyn Barnes, a newspaper reporter, was anxiously awaiting 'the outcome of the affair. Miss Clark allowed her to remain behind some screens where she could hear and see what was going on and still not be seen. While Mrs. Burton is frantically trying to get some one 'Lo entertain Mrs. Hereford Carr, Miss Clark dis- covered the missing spoons. While Mrs. Dover calls for Charlie, Mrs. Hereford Carr enters the room and on being informed of the trouble, uses her influence to clear the matter up by calling Mr. Seiver, the head hotel proprietor of the city. Miss Clark finally leaves with the spoons in her possession, and Mrs. Burton promises never to take any more spoons just for the novelty of it.

Mr. Beverly, a man of large affairs in New York City, is surrounded by two extravagant, luxury loving daughters, a reckless, spendthrift .non and a wife who, improvident herself, has spoiled her children from the 'lime they were born. The Beverly family has been spending' money :faster than the head of the house can earn it. Beverly is beset with creditors who even follow him out to his rumpt- uous Long Island home and threaten proceedings. He tries to make his fam'Iy see the necessity of economy and warns them of the inevitable crash impending. Instead of heeding him, however, his 'warning is greeted with sneers and crlticism and they decide that he is an old grouch: Into this clouded atmosphere of selfishness, deceit and false :how comes Polly Perkins, Mr. Beverly's ward and a modest heiress. The Beverly mode of living on Long Island is in decided contrast to the simple New England village life to which she has been accustomed and for a moment she loses her bearings. But her heart and understanding are as big as all outdoors and her eternal optimism and :good will soon assert themselves. She brings with her the :freedom and fragrance of the New England Berkshires, and instead of adapting herself to her new surroundings, she sets out to make them conform to her own standards of simplicity and happiness. Her very presence clarifies the atmosphere. Not content with reforming the Beverly household, she goes into the poor dis- tricts of the village and even there her winning personality works miracles. Through her kindness of heart two ragged, unwashed children are introduced into high society, causing joy, consternation and condemnation among the various members of the 400. Beverly returns from the city a ruined man and his family face the prospect of moving into a Harlem Hat, which to their way of thinking is worse than death. At this juncture Polly comes to the rescue and with sublime faithfulness places her legacy, which represents every penny she has in the world, into the hands of her guardian to help him stem the tide. In the meantime Beverly's son, Baldwin, who makes love to every pretty face he meets, has fallen desperately in love with Polly. It proves the making of him. He actually goes to work for the first time in his life. I Through Polly's influence we see the better instincts of the Beverly family and their friends come to the surface. They realize that money is not everything, that social position and false friends do not constitute happiness and that Polly Perkins is a wonderful little person. Her guardian is saved from ruin and she finds her own happiness in the good she has wrought and the true love of Baldwin Beverly. aw , jj if M. w . QD .sf 5 ' . ,'.- I gg, , 5 Q 4 W 1 I W SOCIET .

A delightful evening was spent in games and music, and during the evening the departing teachers were presented with little tokens of esteem. Light refreshments made a fitting close to an evening spent in fun, although on account of the reason of the gathering there was also a sad feeling current at the party. vft' 'fx ff '- rf- ! 6 ff 9 O fr' A LAINGSBURG HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Miss Helen Selby, director.

The girls' basketball team began practicing under the leadership of their -roach, Miss Richmond, and Captain Marjorie Devine with the Misses Burwell, Schoals, Pierson, Ripple, Ferguson and Stichler as players. Three of their players-Burwell, Schoals and Pierson--having played the whole four years of their high school -mreer. Many games were played with much enthusiasm and pep, only losing two games throughout the basket ball season. ' The boys began work with a varsity team, having with them Clark as captain. who has played the entire four years of High Schoolg also Rowley, Austin, Karker, Honsberger, Stichler and Sexton. Many games were played with much en:oura1:e- ment from their coach, Mr. Prescott, and from the support of the town. Their schedule was excellent, losing but one game throughout the season. Both teams showed exceptionally good team work and basket shooting nhility. In the boys' games the floor work, dribbling and basket shooting were the princi- pal items on the list. In each game a rehearsal of the old plays with one or 'two new ones comprised the workout of the team. The boys avenged the defeat suffered by the girls' 'team and won a very'inter- esting game from Corunna. In any games played by either team few fouls were called during the game. Aside from the heavy scorers from the last year's team, Rowley, a newcomer of the past season, was a heavy scorer. The basket ball season closed with a game with the Owosso Reserves, at the end of the first half the opponents 'were in the lead by a large score, but during the last half of the game our team piled up a larxre number of points that made the game ours. Such was the ease with which the L. H. S. games were played At last we all realize that Ambition killed Caesar. Just so today must the opponets of L. H. S. realize the truth of the same proverb. ' As'our'minds wander back to the basket ball games we all smile to think of the many victories our team won, for you this year. at Il! ll' BASEBALL April 28 fherel --- ...........
