POWELL • 'epcyr � id5i UR PRESIDENT has the honor of being salutatorian. I have been appointed by the class to give this address. We have come to the end of one short journey, or rather we have paused to rest awhile in a bright spot, ere we continue the one long journey we must all make. And while we rest, it may be of advantage to retrospect as well as prospect. It is my pleasure, at least, to look over the way we have traveled together. There is little in my mind tonight to make this retrospect regretful or sad. We have been learners together, and the teachings of our experiences and counsels have been full of beauty and of earnestness. The hour has come to say adieu. We have reached the one goal for which we have nobly striven through days of faithful, persistent labor. As we look back over the past, with all its great and wonderful victories and achievements, and look forward to the future, with all its more wonderful promises of great and glorious things to come, we must not forget to pause for a moment and give thanks for the privileges which we have enjoyed through the fostering care of our school board, the financial aid of our tax payers, the instructions of a learned and able faculty, and last but not least, the sacrifices of our parents, who so patiently gave their all that we might have these opportunities. This imposes upon each of us the obligation to furnish by our lives and deeds a justification for the outlay and sacrifices made for us. Let me counsel you fellow classmates not to be at raid of work. Our success in life will depend upon our readiness and ability to do the work the world has for us to do. If we make ourselves necessary to the world, be assured that the world will take care of us. Your courage and willingness to begin at the bottom is the surest guarantee that you will reach the top. Remember that he who fills a position of great honor has first filled the smaller positions of trust. That which will aid or hinder us most in life is our character. It has been strik- ingly said that we bring nothing into the world but capacity and take nothing from it but character. Men may injure’or destroy our reputation, but our character is beyond their reach. It lives and grows within the inner sanctuary of our own soul, and can not be touched by the hands of another. May we carry into each community where we go. standards of noble living and devine thinking, which shall contribute to the advancement of the community and of mankind. Let us not forget, amid the pressing activities of our daily life, the fond parents who have made it possible for us to attend this school. In parting let me leave with you for your encouragement, guidance and stay for for all years that are to come, a sentiment which I would fain engrave upon the heart of each of you. “Who walketh uprightly walketh surely. May the richest blessing of kind providence ever abide with you my classmates.

With it you will be prepared to make your mark in the world. Would you like to be handicapped for life just because of the lack of educa- tion? A person can spend many tedious hours and accomplish nothing unless he has trained his mind. A good education will train the mind. The young people should go to High School with two ideas in mind; first, to develop the individual to his greatest capacity; second, to learn the responsibility of the individual toward society. The four years spent in High School have therefore a twofold value; both from a financial and cultural standpoint. Education is necessary for securing good wages. We might consider two men, one with a grammar school education and the other with a high school education. It has been tried and proved again and again that the high school graduate will draw several hundred dollars a year more than the grammar school graduate. Now let us view the cultural value of an education. This education is, as we might say, to be at home in all lands and all ages, to count nature a familiar acquaint- ance and art an intimate friend; to carry the keys to the world’s library in your poc- ket and to feel it’s resources behind you in whatever task you undertake. This is the offer of your own high school for the four best years of your life. k rom the time civilization started there has been great necessity for education. J his has increased and will continue to increase as long as civilization continues to advance. On account of the unparalleled progress in the arts and sciences during the past fifty years the need of education multiplied itself many times. It never seems to occur to parents that there may be an education which in itself is an advancement in life; that any other than that may perhaps be advancement in death. At the present time all issues call for leaders. We need men of thought and ac- tion; men of knowledge; men of insight; men of vision and horizon is broad. Educa- tion is the thing that fits a man for all the accomplishments of life. To secure all the education possible is the duty of every intelligent person. It is his duty to himself- to his country; and to his fellowmen.

At the end of the third week we had our first class meeting, at which Elizabeth Lee was elected President, and Cecelia Austin, Gilbert Putnam and I as her helpers. During the fourth week, we received invitations to the annual Sophomore-Fresh- man reception which was held at the High School. A few weeks later we gave the Sophomores a return party at the High School. In the Spring of our Freshman year, the Algebra contest was held at Corunna. Our Freshman year passed very quickly. At the beginning of our Sophomore year five of our members failed to return, however Leo Jordan and Naomi Bentley had joined us. • We again organized the class with Oscar Henry as President, and Cecelia Austin, Agnes Phelps and Harland Sexton as his assistants. About a month after school had begun, we gave the annual Sophomore-Freshman reception at the High School and the Freshmen gave us in return a reception at Walter Kyte’s. Some of the events of this year were a party at Lewis Siscoe’s and a wiener roast at the ball diamond. The next was our Junior year, with nine members failing to return. This year the class was led by Elizabeth Lee as President, assisted by Ambrose Powell, Cecelia Aus- tin and Harland Sexton. The most important event of this year was the annual Junior-Senior Banquet held at the I. O. O. F. Hall. Last but not least comes our Senior year, the year which is long to be remembered. With Harland Sexton, President, Merle Ginther, Vice-President, Ambrose Powell, Secretary, and Leo Jordan, Treasurer, we have tried to make this the most successful year of our High School career. We are sorry to say that four of our members did not come back this year. Some important events of this year were a party held at Elizabeth Lee’s, which was the result of a contest for selling magazines, and the Junior-Senior Banquet at the I. O. 0. F. Hall, which was a very delightful occasion. However the most important event of the year was our Senior play entitled ‘Safety First”, and it was a great success. The closing events of our Senior year were: Baccalaureate, June 2; Class Night, June 4; Commencement, June 6. Our first three years were carefully guided by Mr. Prescott, and we are sorry to say that he is not with us this year. However we are glad that it has been our good fortune to be directed by Mr. Fuerstenau. We came, we saw, we conquered, and now we leave our High School for some higher place as alumni, so we bid you good-bye and good luck.

To- night, the great curtain is about to rise upon what we may most properly call the Prologue of the particular portion of the Great Drama in which we as individuals, have been cast for special parts. It is to witness the going up of this curtain that I am now bidding you welcome. As we face the inevitable hour we must step forth upon the stage, it is natural that we should look back over the drama that has already been presented, and wonder just what sort of a part has been designed for our attention. And as we cast our glances behind us, we are appalled by the majestic splendor of the scenes that have oeen predicted. Indeed, of all the masterpieces of tragedy and comedy that the pen of all the great world-dramatist ever put on paper, was there ever anything more thrilling than the histories of the great nations, and their heroes, as they come on the stage of action, play their part, and then “go the way of all humanity” and leave the stage clear for the appearance of the next players? How well the drama of our own progress has been planned, how nicely the parts have been written by the fingers of fate that they fit so nicely, one into the other! How well handled are the moments of suspense, and how startling the climaxes! How well balanced is the comedy and tragedy, and how convincing the moral thread that proves everywhere, in even the smallest action, development—the triumph of right over wrong! W hen on the 12th of October, 14U2, the curtain rose upon a band of savages in the wilderness of the new world, playing their parts as well as they knew how. The stage was ready for the coming of the wnite man, the hero of the hour, and across the great waters came the three small vessels that meant the coming of civilization to the western world. This was the part for which Christopher Columbus was cast in the great drama, and yet how few were his lines that Fate had written into it! When he had played his part he made his exit gracefully and humbly and passed forever off the stage of American enacavor. This first act in this drama came to an end, and among the wondering cries of the nations the curtain rang down. And so are there many Dther illustrations of all the world being a great stage. ‘And all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances: And one man in his time plays many parts.” Tonight, we as a class, are waiting to be chosen as players in our life’s drama. Only the all seeing eye of the great Dramatist who wrote the parts and cast each actor for his own, can see the end that is to come, when and where the climax will be reached This wide world seems like a dense mystery to most of us, for years we have had a protective guardian of parent and teacher but now we realize that this is to be no longer, we must now go forth by ourselves and not depend upon their trustworthy shoulder to lean for guidance. Will we lead in our drama of life? Lead and be gen- trals of all seen possiblities lying before us or will we be the comedian and dunce of our whole existance. Which would be the hardest to play acceptable? Ever since we were but kindergarden children, we have been consciously or unconsciously studying our lines and preparing- ourselves for the part we have to play on life’s great stage. J ay by day, through the intermediate and High School, we have added some new bits of words or action; hour by hour we have been absorbing some new thought or idea moment by moment we have been sub-conseiously rehearsing for the vivid drama that is now calling us into more vital activity. The hour for our first bow before the curtain has at last arrived. We are ready for our cue. W e know not yet w'hether the part assigned us be heavy or light but we are sure that whatever is best for developement, as well as most fitting in our service for humanity, will be assigned us by the Great Stage Manager who never puts a man in any but the right place. We are all determined to wear our costome and make-up with the best possible grace, even if the part sometimes calls for a braver mask than our face might naturally show, if we had not learned to master each emotion, and to respond to every cue bravely and manfully, with no hesitation or stage fright at the staring of the crowd. We know’ that we can not all play leading parts at once, but by faithfully studying the noblest and best, may find our opportunities opening to us as soon as we are ready to improve them. Be ready, then dear friends, to applaud our every worthy effort, and encourage us on to each approaching climax, as we welcome you to this first of the curtain that is to us indeed the Commencement of our lives. Again I—and yet, not I, but the Class of 1929, that is speaking through me, bid you welcome. ft-f VALEDICTORY C. AUSTIN Backward, turn backward, O time for awhile. Let reminiscence one moment beguile. When we began school with one little book And standing on tiptoe, could scarce reach a hook. To hang up our hats, and then straightway We herded together in bashful array. We soon were acquainted, the strong and the weak, The brave and the timid, the saucy and meek; Books do not teach all the lessons we learned Of friendship and fair play; of credits hard earned; Honor and loyalty; and from these grew A gallant class spirit, abiding and true. Lessons w’ell learned are not lost in a day. But linger in memory’s channels for aye. So will these friendships built to endure, Carry on with us, steady and sure. The sturdy class spirit, the lure of the team. Will bind us together though years intervene. So when we’re saying our final adieu You promise me, and I’ll pledge to you, To keep that gay spirit flourishing bright Lighting our way as a beacon at night, Helping us choose as w’e journey along, The wheat from the chaff; the right from the wrong. VALEDICTORY ELIZABETH LEE EAR FRIENDS of the Class: We have now come to the day we have looked forward to for so many years—the end of our school days, and it has fallen to me to extend the farewell greetings. For four years we have worked hard in anticipation of this great event—Commencement. Put now that it has arrived we find our triumph to be tinged with regret. We look back over our High School career and realize that this happy commradeship will soon be gone forever. No one can tell what the future may hold for us. Here, surrounded by friends, we feel secure, but change is one of the unfailing laws of the universe and must come to us all. We hope.that we may never fail in liv- ing a life of useful service. I first wish to thank the Board of Education and friends of the class, who have co-operated with us so willingly in all we have attempted. Without you and your loyal and unfailing support our graduation would hardly have been possible. We also acknowledge our debt to you alumni, who have encouraged us by your example. Your successes have inspired us to do our very best in order to live up to the high standard set by you. You remind us of the consoling words of the wise prophet, who said, “What man has done, man can do.” We shall always remember with warm affection the teachers who have aided us so patiently and nobly in our long years’ association with them. Under their supervision and kindly guidance, we have finally arrived at the end of our journey. It remains to be seen whether they will ever feel a pride that we were once their pupils. Also we must not forget our schoolmates of the last year. You have done some- thing for us of which you probably never dreamed. The respect—even awe and vener- ation with which you have regarded us during the past year has induced us to work the harder for our goal, to show you how very superior Seniors can be! You never imagined that your idols had feet of clay, nor did we intend to let you discover it. Classmates, we have now come to the fork in the road, where stands a guidepost pointing to the unknown future. The road to the r ght is level. At the end is a gradual incline which finally leads to the peak known as Success. The one to the left is from the first an easy downard slope, leading to the valley of Failure. Which one shall we take Some may take the easier way which leads to Failure. Others mav choose the lev®1 road to the right, willing to climb the hill to final Success. Bui, whether we take the road to Success or Failure, may our class feeling of true friendship and svmpathv never cease. • In closing let us say thanks to you all! We sincerely hope that we will see and hear of one another in the future, when we have tried to prove our gratitude more ffib«Sr success in l e world. Therefore, we will not say a final farewell, but in- stead, “Till we meet again.” CLASS WILL CARLTON KOONTER ?rzsnn r,-. E, THE MEMBERS of the Class of ’29 realize that we are leaving the High School in June never to return. We want to bequeath to the classes follow- ing us some of our most remarkable talents and feats so we will be held in memory. We leave our ability to conduct ourselves as ladies and gentlemen to the Freshman class. We bequeath our share of the athletic field to Mrs. Pierce for raising specimins for Biology. Due to the fact that each member of our class is very generous we bequeath the following— Harland Sexton leaves his position as center on the football team to Arthur Scott, •f he has nerve enough to take it. Cecelia Austin presents her string of beaus to Doris Case. Elizabeth Lee wills her position as official mail carrier for the school to Beulah Curtis. George Jones leaves his innocent looks to Silas Pierce. Merle Ginther wills his art of blushing to Judson Fredrick. Richard Beardslee gladly forwards his unsettled love affairs to Le Roy Barber. Leo Jordan bequeaths his wit and pranks to George Curtis, if he promises not to damage the buildings. Thornton Parker wills his manly structure to Ross Gibbs. Naomi Bentley leaves her gift of gab to Anna Merignac. Helen White with pleasure, wills her height to Mildred Forrester. Ambrose Powell leaves his ability to raise a mustache to Lewish Chadwick. Anna Robinson bequeaths her speed in getting to her seat when the last bell is ringing to Lelah Look. Earl Pierson wills his task of carrying five subjects to any Laingsburg sheik who considers himself properly qualified. Maude Goteze bequeaths her art of painting to W inifred Lee. Harold Chadwick leaves in memory of himself, his signature on every seat which he has occupied. I, Carlton Koonter. will my knowledge in Latin to anyone who doesn’t know the first vocabulary. In closing we, the class of ’29, leave our place in High School activities to the on coming generations. Pi- CLASS PROPHECY HELEN WHITE J HE 1939 edition of the “Review of the Class of 29” reached me yesterday. One year after we graduated, we resolved to have a review’ of our class printed every ten years. We decided that each one of us would send a por- trait of ourselves accompanied by a short paragraph concerning our career. In this way we are more able to keep in touch with the progress of our class- mates, who have taken up their duties in various parts of the world. We find these very interesting as well as surprising. Now if you will give me your careful attention, I will endeavor to relate a brief account of each of my former classmates. Maud went from High School to “The Fayetteville School of Fine and Applied Arts” in Arkansas. She graduated from there at the close of her first term and is now employed in Jonesboro where she paints signs on garbage cans which are to be placed in the city. Richard is now' employed as Dean of Men at Utopia College. He conducts a special class in manners and conduct and is a successful teacher, as you know he has changed to a very dignified man wearing nose glasses and a silk plug hat. Merle is the owner of a rooming house in Seattle, Washington. His place is known by the yellow and blue sign above his door, “Rooms, modern, bath betw-een bus line and street car.” Naomi is an actress in Hollyw’ood. Her first work was the leading role in the new' talking picture, “Clubbing a Husband”. She is a success in that play because she is thoroughly experienced in that kind of amusement. Ambrose is now attending Oxford University. He is a member of both Phi Bata Cappa and Phi Cappa Delta. He has proven himself a true English gentlemen for he never appears on the street without his silk plug hat and walking stick. He is so popular there that when he is out for a stroll in Picadilly Square he encounters dozens of belles who find it necessary to be passing that way. They forget that he has a one and only back home. Anna is still single and is running a restaurant in Saginaw. Her business is very profitable and she is well known throughout Saginaw for her kindness to the poor. At some future date she probably will w’ed one of her many admirers. Carlton was disappointed in love so many times that he married an old maid Lesbia Hopkins, to quiet his nerves and free himself from the changeable young flappers he once knew. He soon realized his mistake and is now running a ten-cent store in Kentucky. Most of his days are spent at the store to avoid the presence of Earl bought the Diamond Lake Resort and has added one new attraction the all- season ice skating rink, the only one of its kind in Michigan. Elizabeth their humor. is a poetess. Her works are widely known and demanded because of the following is one of her best: In the year—I don't remember what the year was; On a date I find I cannot just recall. In a spot the attitude of which, I fear, was Long forgotten, if I ever knew at all, Lived a man, or else a woman—time’s bereft me Of precisely which the party was or w’ho; Of particulars, I find, have w’holly left me, As particulars unfortunately do. Harland is manager of a men's beauty parlor in Shaftsburg. He specializes in marcels and facials because they are most in demand. Thornton has invented the fastest speed motor car, running on the ground, in his- tory. He trys many fancy stunts with it such as jumping the Grand Canyon, or run- ning over tops of baby mountains. Cecelia married Horace Peely, one of the Peely twins. Before Horace was marri- ed their friends were not able to tell them apart but now Cecelia has made such an effect on the nerves of Horace that he jumps when spoken to sharply from behind. Harold is manager of a used car exchange. While enjoying his luxuries he has taken on weight which makes him about 300 pounds now. His method of advertising brings results although the cars do not last long after they are purchased. Leo married Thelma De La no soon after graduation. But he didn’t say whether he stood on a stool or she stood on her knees during the ceremony. Thelma, if you don't remember, was the blonde girl that played on Durand’s second basketball team this year. They live a happy life in their bungalow in Northampton because they pledged themselves to do each other one good turn each day. George is a photographer in I ansing. His photographs are widely known for their quality but the crayon enlargements are not so much in demand. The first ones he made were so large that the ears were behind the frame they were intended for. In Memoriam GLENN HILLS ocietg fyotes The Freshman-Sophomore reception was held October 11 at Eunice Wilson’s home The football boys enjoyed the annual chicken supper which was held at Ginther’s November 23.

It is one of the most essen- tial parts in a young man's or woman's education. To have good athletics our school has organized an athletic association. We have chosen three members who handle the business of the associa- tion. These members are as follows: President, Ambrose Powell; Vice President, Carlton Koonter, Secretary and Treasurer, Elizabeth Lee.

Mr. Pierce: “Judson, we can’t both talk at once.” Judson: “Well, I had something to say.” Miss Inwood: (After H. Peters had written a feminine adjective with a neuter noun.) “You have used a feminine adjective, Howard.” Howard: “I had a feminine in mind.” Earl Pierson in English: “The Devil was the only spiritual character in the mystery plays.” Miss Inwood: “I want you to stop your funny business.” George J.: “I wasn’t doing anything funny.” Miss Inwood: “No, I know you weren’t, but you were trying to.” Lelah: “What a finely chiseled mouth you have. It ought to be on a girl’s face.” Dick: “Well, I seldom miss an opportunity.” Harland: “I saw a magician turn water into wine last night.” Harold: “That’s nothing. I turned our Ford into a lamp post last night.” Miss Nason: “What 3 words are used most among High School students?” Silas Pierce: “I don’t know.” Miss Nason: “Correct.” Maud was walking by a store one day when she saw what she supposed was a pretty dress in the window. She went in and said: “What is the price of that dress in the window.” The storekeeper replied: “I’m sorry, madam, but that isn’t a dree, it’s a lampshade.” Thornton: “Miss Nason, what is your age?” Miss Nason: “I’ve seen twenty summers.” Thornton: “How long have you been blind?” Cecelia: “Anna and I aren’t on speaking terms.” Mrs. Austin: Oh! I don’t mind. It won’t do either of vou any harm to have a little rest. Naomi (Studying agriculture): “What’s the matter with mv brain?” Mr. Fuerstenau: “Are you sure that you’ve got one?” Naomi: “I’m supposed to have.” Mr. Fuerstenau: “There’s always exceptions to every rule.” Old Lady (To Arthur who is in Scout uniform) : “Do you do a good deed every day?” j A hur: “Yes; yesterday I went to visit my aunt in the country and she was very glad. Today I came home and she was glad again.” Elizabeth: “When will there be 25 letters in the alphabet?” Merle: “When ‘IT and T are one.” Herbert: “What is the board of education?” . . „ Lawrence: “My Dad said when he went to school it was a pine shingle.’ Mr. Peirce: “Ross, is that your Mother's signature?” Ross: “As near as I could get it.” Beulah: Majel: Beulah: “Is Basil out for catcher on the baseball team?” Yeah.” i “He won’t be any good. Why, he couldn’t even hold me last night. George: “I’m indebted to you for all that I know.” Mr. Fuerstenau: “Don’t mention it. It’s a mere trifle.” Miss Inwood (After explaining some English Literature to Harold): “Now if you get that paragraph fixed in your mind you will have the whole thing in a nut shell. Freshie crossed the railroad before the onrushing train. They gathered up the pieces but couldn’t find the brain. Abe (At basketball practice) : “Did you take a shower?” Elno: “No. Is there one missing?” Miss Nason: “Judson, what figure of speech is this? ‘I love my teacher.’ Judson: “Sarcasm.” A green little Freshie in a green little way, Mixed some green little chemicals up one day. The green little grasses now tenderly wave, O’er that green little Freshie’s green little grave. Miss Imvood: “George, I wish you’d wash your hands. What would you say if I came to school that way?’1 George: “Nothing. I’m too polite.” Earl P.: “What would you say if I threw a kiss to you?” Grace A.: “I’d say you were the laziest man I ever knew.” Earl P.: (Riding with his girl) : “Are you comfortable, dear?” “Yes, my love.” “Don’t you feel the bumps? Isn’t there a draught?” “No, sweetness.” “Are you positive you are comfortable?” “Yes, darling.” “Then change seats with me.” “Whiskey, my friend, has killed more men than bullets.” “That may be so, sir, but bejabers, I’d rather be full of whiskey than bullets.” Maud: “How do I look with rouge on?” Harold C.: “Even a barn looks good when it’s painted.” Arthur J.: “How do you like your new coat?” Leroy B.: “Don’t like it. The buttons hurt my nose.” Mr. Pierce: “What is the quickest way to produce sawdust?” Basil: “Why, er—ah—” Mr. Pierce: “Come, come, use your head.” S7THE Class of ’29 hereby extend their thanks to everyone who in any way assisted in making this edition of The Looking Glass a reality. —The CLASS OF ’29. 1 i COMPLETE FARMER SERVICE GRAIN BEANS I ■ 1 COAL FEEDS i I WOOL ; SEEDS ■ i a CHRISTIAN BREISCH CO. i a LAINGSBURG MICHIGAN ! i MILLINERY i a j 1 ■ 1 SCARFS ! i a • HOSIERY i i i a 1 LINGERIE ! i i i MRS.

There is no wrong in the world that is not crying for righting. There is no ignorance that is not seeking enlight- ment. There is no goal that does not invite conquerors. Your world is so much of the universe as you are capable of understanding. Preparedness, knowledge, controlled ability, are the measure of a man’s possible progress. A goal may be possible of accomplishment, but not to a man who has one foot stuck in the mud of ignorance, fear, indolence. A sunset may be a glory of color, but not to a man who is color blind.
