At that time people i11 general did not regard a high school in the same light as it is looked 1117011 today illltl there was a great deal of opposition oltei-ed by lllillly of the leading citizens when the eXte11sio11 of the school systeut was lirst, seriously talked of. Put lllltlllllg was able to flklllllbtlll the ardor of those who favored the establishing of a high school Pllltl S0011 they had suriuouiited all obstacles. Thus 111 the year 1874 auotlier grade was added to the original eight and the uext year aiiother and i11 1877 at class ffl 11i11e pupils were graduated froui the school. l11 1880 the iiumber ot' students became too large tor the size ol' the building 2lllLl the newly completed Longfellow buildi11g was lll1'116t,l into a high school.

To sing with 11s its notes of joy Before we say farewell: To school and friends we love so dear, To all joys that ll-niger lli9Zll'. O memories that bring a tear .Xs we go ever onward. Chorus: We utter a sigh for the days gone by lnterwoven with roses and rue. A laugh we will give for thie future we live And a smile when our dreams come true. The oriole its song has sung, For we must say farewell And leave behind the dear old school And scenes we love so well. To do our best we'll ever try, For we must seek a goal on high. The pas-t we leave and say good bye As we go ever onward. ROBERT WILLIAMS 1 if A ' t.- .,, Class Poem We stand at Dawin-. Hushed, hesitant, and unafraid, We look upon the little paths That stretch from the vastness of time, To meet here, as we stand in fellowship, And turn from them to greet The Dawn beyond. With misty eyes we look upon the face Of each who starts with us. At this, our parting of the little roads, With whole souled grasp We take the hand of each, With whom we've loved, With whom we've labored, And with whom we've laughed, Forgotten everything but that. The road lies in the mist before us And as the world whirls on We pause in silent brief farewell. We stand at Dawn. Hushed. hesitant, and unafraid, We look upon the little paths That stretch from out the vastness of time, To meet here, as we stand in fellowship And turn from them. E. B, BOARD EDUCATION 1 FRANK E.

State Bank now stands, nine students ,Qldltlllflltttl from what was then known as the Ludington iligh Hehool. At that time the course of High School Study was lor three years only. Since that time the course has been changed and the number oi' graduates has steadily increased until in 1912, a class of thirty 1-ight reeeived diplomas, the largest class in the history of the High t-iehool As the number of graduates increased, the Alumni believed n a good plan to l'orm an organization in order to better preserve the interests and traditions ot' the High School. ln 1888 an Alumni Assoeirition was formed. The purpose of this organization was to keep the Alumni together. The Association held annual meetings in the late spring' just before graduation time. 'l'hey elected ot- ticers and planned the place and time for a reception given for the graduating class. These receptions were generally held the last Friday in the school year. The first reception was held at the old Filer House located on the city park site, since removed to make room for park purposes. Later receptions were held at the Club House, the school building, the Russell House and at the Stearns Hotel. They continued to do this until 1912, when a reception was given the graduates at the K. of P. Hall. These receptions have become an annual event of great importance with the High School and those vitally inter- ested in its welfare. Over eight hundred have received diplomas from the local High School, and are Ludingt.on's leading business men today. Others have scattered to foreign countries while in every state in the Union some loyal son or daughter of the Ludington High School salutes the Stars and Stripes. Some have become doctors, law- yers and ministers. Others are now High School teachers, princi- pals and superintendents. Some of our graduates We find have chosen agriculture as their life work. Many are recognized as the leading business men of today or are occupying responsible posi- tions in the business world. Even college professors have received their early education within the four walls of our High School, men that the High School can well be proud of. One of these, Mr. Axel Yestling is Professor of German at Yale and a member of his class occupies a position of like importance in another Eastern college. CLASS 1877.

The same doors which swung open to admit us on that September day so long ago will soon close to us forever. ,However reluctant, we must pass onward .to a new and untried life, leaving all behind. except the multitude of pleasant memories which Father Time can never obliterate. XVe are about to emerge into the wonderful unknown future. which shrouded in mystery, lies stretched before us. But before passing onward we would fain lin- ger an instant to contemplate our accomplish- ments and failures. lt falls to my lot to out- line the history of our class and. to the best of my ability. I shall endeavor to recall the scenes and incidents of our happy and serious school days. Then let us ,assume our retro- spective specs and turn back the wheels of time until. in thought. we are once more about to begin our High School days. XVhat is so rare as a Freslnnan in Septem- ber? How our childish hearts beat as we ap- proached that imposing structure-THE LUD- INGTON HIGH SCHOOL! But after the tirst cold plunge all went well. for the beloved teacher of our Freshman days was there to pilot us safely into that receptacle of Fresh- men joys and woes-Room One. After that many strange things happened. and we soon became possessed of such stupendous knowl- edge that we dared venture forth alone from Mr. Fesler's cradle taforementioned Room One! and sally clear up the stairs without once getting lost in the intricate windings. But a day dawned that brought with its light a severe shock to the personal vanity of some of our members. In fact. the shock was so great that the hairs of their heads turned red and green instead of the proverbial grey! tVVhich all goes to show that OTR class was no ordinary class!! On that morning even the faithful High School bell was struck dumb, and utterly failed to send forth its musical summons to disturb the dreams of the delin- quent sleeper. The fly leaves of the books in Lottie's desk read ftRussell Rasmusson and Lillian Miller. instead of Lottie Rhora as they properly should. and like confusion pre- vailed in every desk. lint most marvelous of all. was the astounding variety of haircuts which the beforeinentioned Mcertain mem- bers wore upon their noble domes. So fan- tastical were the shapes and designs that they soon became the wonder and admiration of the entire class. as well as the occasion of much giggling. After order was restored, classes proceeded as usual. but upstairs new :that the faces of the faculty resembled thun- surprises awaited us. The clock in the assem- bly room had entirely disappeared and left only at clean spot on the wall to mark the place where it had been sentinel for years. To say der-clouds would be putting it mildly! They resembled an entire thunderstorm, all com- plete, with clouds, thunder, lightning, rain, wind and hail. and soon dark proceedings be- gan in the direction of the office. One by one the certain members were summoned to that inner sanctum. The exact particulars of just what happened will never bc known, but peace finally returned. After many days the clock was reinstated in its accustomed place on the wall, and the red and green heads were restored to their natural color. Our Freshman deeds were so many that it is impossible even to make mention of them all, so I will content myself with calling atten- tion to the most important. Among the most important is that we did NOT win the yelling contest at the Junior Fair. Another memor- able occurrence was the choice of our class colors, gray and goldg most remarkable is the fact that we have never changed colors. According to the time honored custom the class of 1913 ushered out their Freshman year to the strains of Pilgrims' Chorus. Tn Sophomore year the Faculty suffered tor enjoyed? T? lf!! a decided change. Mr. Fezzler. Mr. Rupp and Miss McKenzie failed to reap- pear. Subduing unsophisticated. untamed Freshmen had proven too much for Mr. Fez- zleris constitution and it was with remorse that one of our brilliantly poetic members gazed into the past and beheld her once proud mas- terpiece- lIere's to Mr. Fezyler His name sounds like an embezzler. His initials are M. ll., Medora darlingvdon't you see? Mr. Rupp, tired of single blessedness. had followed the primitive instinct of man and taken unto himself a wife and hied himself far from the maddening Physics students. In these places Mr. Haag piloted the trem- bling Freshmen into the peaceful C? ? ! !l haven of Room One. and Mr. Blakely initiat ed the misguided science students into the mysteries of Hydrogen Sulphide. Miss t'ollins presided in the well known Latin room. As Hophomores great athletic glory came and laid itself at the feet. of the class of lillil. in the form of the Ludingtou High Basket Rall championship. To defeat the High and Mighty Seniors and the condescending Juniors is no small thing in Sophomore eyes. At the close of the Sophomore year we had a picnic at llass llake, with Miss llilding as chaperone. Many of our star members found it impossible to go, but those who did attend had a very jolly time. Several inquisitive pic- nicers thoughtlessly lost themselves in search of the ldlc While t'al'c, where every tree proclaimed, could he found all manner of good things. After several hours ol' animated search the missing ones were located, comfort- ably perched hy the way about a mile up thc road, waiting for us to come along. The dc- lay made ns a couple of hours late, but we did not strenuously object to that. Our jour- ney home in lia.idlaw's trustworthy lJti.lltl-NV2l.g- on was a jolly one, and all who were not pres- ent missed a good time. In that year for the tirst time the Graduat- ing lflxcreises were held at the Epworth Audi- torium instead ol' in the Opera House. The entire school went up to practice twice. Since free rides ou the dummy do not come frequent- ly in a lifetime, every one turned out, and 1hese trips were the occasion of much jollity. Un the tinal night every loyal Sophomore once more raised his lusty voice in the Pil- grims' Chorus, and thus ended our second lligh School year. ln the Junior year another change occurred in the Faculty. Miss tililding and Mr. Blakely did not return. ln their stead came Miss Mc- liennan, Mr. Windoes, and Mr. Miller. ln the athletic field great triumphs came to the lludington High School in our Junior year. The Ludington lligh School Foot-hall team won the t'hampionship of Northern Michigan. The juniors were very well represented, tive members of the tcaiu belonging to our class, including the Captain, l3eno'l Johnson. To show their appreciation of the foot-ball heroes, the girls bought the conventional felt and made a large orange and black pennant to be hung in the hall to commemorate the great event. There was a great delay in presenting it, and a. greater one in hanging it. However, it had graced the wall but a few days when it mysteriously disappeared. We hope sincere- ly that whoever could be despicable enough to commit such a contemptible theft is not a memher of our High School. An important event in our third High School year was the flratorical f'ontest. held in March. The Junior and Senior classes took part, each one electing three members. Two of the Sen- iors thoth hoysl became possessed of a well known malady which so seriously affected their pedal extremities that they gave up the race before it was begun. This left three Jun- iors and one Senior in the t'ontest. One of l,ndington's prominent business men generous- ly gnu, ,lmlyply in gultl lo llc given as prizes.- -The eonllietilors were lflnnl Johnson, Wil- liam lyletlregor and Esther liluincnstock, Jnn- iors, and llazel llrawner, Senior. The iirst prize was awarded to. Esther' lilunienstooli, ,ml the second to William Mctiregor. lusthncr lilumenstock represented us ni the sub-d1s- triet contest at Uadillae, where she WOl1 second place, Manistee contestant taking first l1o11- ors. Shortly after the contest Esther .Blu- menstoek presented to the Class the fifteen .lollars in gold which she had- won as first prize. Her generous act was sincerely appre- ciated by her classmates. I A memorable event was the Junior election of ottlcers. The result was as follows: President, Fred Hollander. Vice President, Helen Haskell. Secretary, Mildred Williams. Treasurer, Emil Johnson. Class Orator, Esther Rlumenstock. lmmediately after organizing, preparations were made for a play. Mr. Webster agreed to put on the musical comedy Pinafore'l TOI' US. and practising was begun at once. For many days at least ONE sweet Junior voice could he heard in We sail the Ocean Blue or I am the Captain of the Pina fore at almost any hour of the day or night. Altho' many of the Junior girls considered it beyond their dignity to hippity-hop, and some ofthe boys appeared to have objections to the lengthy coiling of imaginary rope, these ditticulties were tinally overcome and the play turned out. to be a grand success, financially as well as otherwise. A few days before Graduation the Juniors gave the Seniors a banquet at the Stearns Hotel. The dining room was beautifully de- corated With marguerites and roses and Pet- erson's Orchestra furnished music for the oc- casion. A very interesting program followed. Fred Hollander as toastmaster introduced many interesting Htoastersfl The evening was a very pleasant one and the Juniors felt well satisfied With the result of their efforts. In place of the time-honored Alumni ban- quet in honor of the Seniors, they were enter- tained with a reception given at the K. of P. Hall. As is customary, thc Juniors were in- vited. All present enjoyed the evening and declared it a very successful affair. As in the preceding year, the Graduating Exercises were held at the Epworth Audito- rium. The mosquitoes proved very entertain- ing, but we finally escaped with comparative- ly few injuries. After tlraduation the Seniors invited the Juniors to join with them in a. picnic at Ham- lin. The Juniors accepted with enthusiasm and the necessary arrangements were prompt- ly made. Mr. and Mrs. Haag and Miss Wilcox ehaperoned the bunch. Altho' we encounter- ed all kinds of difficulties and delays on ae- eount. of a dense fog, we tilmlly ffm-.l.m,GH at tbout the same time the sun did. NVe crossed the lake in a launch and found a beautiful spot behind Camp Arcadia for our camping place. The discovery of a nest of mice be- neath a board nearly caused a riot, but the disturbance was finally quieted without call- ing out the Hamlin police. The day turned out to be a beautiful one, and it was spent in walking, rowing ,fishing, ball playing. and not lastly, but firstly, lastly and all the time EATING-and being eaten! Those Hamlin Special mosquitoes do beat everything! How- ever, it was with regret that we gathered our empty baskets and wended our homeward way. The lake was rather rough coming across, but no one suffered seriously from the effect. The sun set over the hills just as we were crossing. It was a very tired but happy bunch that got off the dummy at Ludington- and tlms was ended our third year. And now at last here we are in our Senior year, the last and best of the four. Once more strange faces greeted us in the faculty. Miss McLennan. Miss Haskell and Mr. VVindoes were missing and in their places were Mr. Gorman, Mr. Jonesj Mr. Burse, Mr. Cockrell and Miss Hall. During the winter great interest was taken in Basket Ball. There was a great deal of competition. especially between the Sopho- mores and Seniors. but the Seniors came out victors at the end of the season. Thus win- ning the Basket Ball championship for the second time. And now only a few short weeks remain before our High School course is completed. Many plans are in the making for commence- ment and its attendant festivities. A class play has already been given at the Lyric Theatre and was a great success. Committees by the score are busy on the invitations. pro- grams and the multitude of other matters ne- cessary before Graduation. At last we begin to realize that we have nearly run our course and are about to step out, leaving our empty places for the estimable Juniors to occupy. And so with many regrets for a happy past and hopes for a happier fu- ture. exit. the Class of 1913. The lirst action of the class was to get their class pins. With two exceptions all voted for 1he same pin, which is quite unusual. The choice fell ppon a question mark with a torch through it. The pin in the reality came up to all expectations and all were well satisfied. Shortly before Christmas the class voted for an annual. This was something new for the liudington High School. but it did not seem loo great to be accomplished. The board was elected as follows: Emil Johnson-Editor in Chief. Hugo Jolinsoniliusiness Manager. Flora Johns-Art Editor. Helen Haskell-Social Editor. NVm. Anderson-Athletic Editor. Emil Ekstrom-Joke Editor. Marjorie Place-12th Grade Asso. Editor. Madeline Kraft, lllartha Olmstead and Myr- tle Gruver, Asso. Editor of the Slth, 10th and llth Grades respectively. At the beginning of the second semester the Honors were announced and the class officeis elected. Clara Groening received first honors with a standing of 95.8 per cent and Marjorie Place second. 95 per cent., Myrtle Gruver third, Sl-1.2 per cent. The oiiicers were as follows: Hugo Johnson-President. Beulah Davies-Vice President. Emil Ekstroin-Treasurer. Lilley Peterson-Secretary. Madeline Kraft-C'lass Prophet. Esther Blumenstoek-l lass Poet.

VVe started our career as a class, looking and act- ing as all Freshmenvperhaps we appeared and acted fresher than the ordinary, but appearances and actions are often deceiving for we did not experience any unusual sensa- tional emotions as we entered upon our Fresh- nian year. During the two years that have passed we have won distinction in every phase of our school work, in fact, so much distinction that the cause has often been a matter for specula- tion. Now that our reputation has been estab- lished this may be an opportune moment to leveal the cause. We have more red-haired members than any other class in the school. Our Freslnnan year was not only a lucky one for us. but it proved fortunate for the entire school, for 1912 brought us the football cham- pionship of Northern Michigan We do not hesitate to say that Bert Peterson, our amat- eur Thorpe, was one of the stars of the team. We received honors worthy of mention in bas- ketball and in the declamatory contest also. Of course, needless to say. we have main- tained a high standard of excellence in book- learningl' but we believe in the old hackneycd quotation, 'fAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And so we have not been with- out social functions. Two especially stand out before the others. lVJllPl'2lllll'9 has innnortalized the Ride of John Gilpin, Tam-0 'Shanter is break-neck speed on old Meg and lchabodls memorable race with the headless horseman, but these are in- significant, mere creations of the imagination. NVe had the reality-a sleighride, when we went over the hills and through the snow to the home of Mamie Marquand. lt was the usual sleighride with merry songs and jingl- ing sleighhells, with plenty of good cheer and jollity, a bounteons lunch and a good hill for coasting. in fact, so good that before we real- ized 'tNight's candles had burned out and joennd day stood tiptoe on the mountain topsf, Then, too, our beach supper will always be remembered. The weatherman-wise or oth- erwise seemed opposed to our plan-and so gave us a cold, damp, disagreeable day. It lakes more than the weather to dampen the ardor of a Sophomore, so we did not give up our plan. At four o'clock we assembled. at the city park. Like all good boys and girls we had invited a chaperon, but evidently our behaviour previously had made it obvious that such an incumbrance was unnecessary, for none appeared. While we were waiting it started to rain. A timely suggestion that we take possession of the newly erected grand- stand at Culver Park baffled the attempt of Nature to spoil our fun. It proved to be mere- ly a passing shower and soon we were gather- ing drift-wood for a bonfire, on the white sands of old Lake Michigan. The evening was well spent. Running races, playing games and roasting marshmallows seemed to put wings on old Father Time and before we knew it an- other day was gone. Thus closed our Freshman year, one of joy- ous school days. However, as it came to a close a shadow fell to darken the brightness, the death of Archie Freeman who had always taken an active part in all our class affairs. We mourn our loss and pay the highest tri- bute to his memory as a true classmate and a sincere friend. The Sophomore year brought most of our number back and four new faces were seen among our ranks, so that today we number forty-four. We have not lost any of the vim characteristic of our Freshman year. We were again represented on the football team, Emil Von Sprecken, Bert Peterson, Harold Kehlet, Stuart Sproule and Arthur Piper being pro- minent members who bid fair to greatly strenghten future elevens. This year we have placed our most streinlous efforts upon our school work proper. parti- cularly in developing our literary ability in writing fiction, both realistic and romantic and so all things else have been laid aside. As the Oriole is about to go to press we can not record coming events of our second year. They are still concealed in the scrolls carefully guarded by Sublime Keepers. Tomorrow wlll reveal them. lint we do know that as a class we have bright hopes of the days to eome. As Emerson says, Hforgetful of the past and unheedful of the present-we are standing on tiptoe to foresee the f11t,11I'Q,,, when we will 'do those things whigh yvill make us a real credit to our school. THE SENIOR BOY Blessings on thee, little man, Sen-ior Boy, in prudence's clan, With thy often turned up nose, And the ink stains on thy clothes, With thy ever swelled up head Wiser than the college bred. Old folks gaze in rapt surprise, Shake their heads and look so wise. Much they wonder at thy fame In the frequent foot-ball game. Outward sunshine, inward joyg Blessings on thee, Senior Boy. Oh! the soft and flowery ways. Of the Senior High School Days. Learning how to slyly nod, And when to shoot the paper wad, How to doze when class is o'er. And when to cast notes 'cross the floor, When to skip and where to go, So the Principal won't know, What to do with chewing gum, When suddenly the teachers come. Struggling hard with Latin tests, Bidding Physics take a rest. And avoiding all his tasks, Puppy love is all he asks. Girls to him are rare delight, To them he talks with all his might. Part and piarcel of their joy- Blessings on thee Senior Boy. Others envy thee thy throne That they may also be Well known. The Freshmen .haste where'er you send, The Sophomlores for you, their backs will bend Through all the hours from morn till night Fate fills thy head with wisdom's light, And furrows up thy learned phiz, Wlhen'er thou mle-ddles with the Junior's biz You dream most frequently by day, Unless theres a basket-ball gamie to play. Thou the mon-arch, pomp and joy, Waits upon thee, Senior Boy. Joyfully then, my little man, Seek these pleasures if you can, For e're Another A world As thou long you'll come to find world of a different kind. Where thou must never SHIRK didst ever by High School Work. For thee thy blissful hour's delight Will turn to work and endless iight. Oh! That thou could'st know thy joy, Blessings on thee, lSenior Boy. M Y W - - fe LIMERICKS There was a small Freshman so lean, The Jun-ior Class is 50 Small His like has never been seen. You hardly can see it at all. He so feared to be late But it's famed for its noise, His meals he never ate. And its bad girls and boys, And the grass on his grave now is green. When the teacher goes into the hall. A young Soph was so bad That the teacher nearly went mad. When he lost some of his hair, He said: Oh, really, I don't care! Which made the teacher quite sad. The grave Senior is so exceedingly wise That he dazzles the poor tfeacher's eyes. But though his Wisdom is deep And he knows a great heap, The main thing about him is size.

VVe represent in our mnnber :md versatility not. only every ward in our eity but also many townships and districts throughout the county. We range in sizes from 413 to ti feet and in ages from 'IQ to lti years. As we began our career in so many different schools, our complet. history from the kimlergarten up would be impossible and there would probably be very little to tell. We passed in uneventful succession from the primer to the language and from the langu- age to the linited States history. With the Beginning of seventh grade work we began to realize that we were a class. Dur- ing this year for the first time in the history of the city. the grammar school of Ludington organized a club for athletics. We held our first meeting in November at which we adopt- ed our constitution. Wliaaii everything was arranged, there were four basket ball teams for boys and two basket ball teams for girls. We rented the east side of the old Brown school for practice. Our representative basket ball heroes during these years were Donald Gibbons, Fred Bailey and Claude Perry. When a picked basketball team was finally chosen it contained three girls from our class, Katherine Bromley, Edna Freeman and Katherine l-Srown. Hur first game, played with the Freshmen resulted in a tie. Another game with them, two weeks later, culminated in a like manner. As a general thing our success in basekat ball was very marked. ln the winter following our promotion to the eighth grade. the girls' division of the Athletic League formed a club swinging class while the boys played basket ball. A preparatory contest in declamation was conducted in the grammar grades. After a series of contests held at the different schools the best declaimers were chosen and a final contest was held. Two members of our class, Carl Brandt and Catalina Dowland, won first and third places, respectively. The time passed away very swiftly and the first thing we knew we were Freshmen. The multitude of impressions that crowd upon tht mind of a Ludington boy or girl when the local High School looms up before them would be very difficult to analyze. It would neither be gratifying for me to relate 11or entertain- ing for my readers to read how many times we went upstairs instead of down, passed through a wrong door or collided with the Juniors or Seniors, so of this realm of our ac- tivities l will say nothing. This year we again took an active part in athletics. Claude Perry and Fred Bailey dis- tinguished themselves to such an extent as to win places in the first high school foot ball team. They bid fair to greatly strengthen next year's team. Our class was represented by two declaim- ers in the Ludington High School declamatory contest. Carl Brandt and Grant Ashbacker won second and third places respectively. The t'Oriole is now going to press and our history must close here. Thus far we have contributed our little best to the honor of the Ludington schools. We hope that when we leave it, we shall leave such a record as will really be a credit to our High School.

February 21. Miss Collins had made a thorough study of Roman customs and the banquet was carried out in true Roman style. The guests were met in the lower hall by VVilliam Keitzman in the garb of a Roman por- ter. ln this hall were models made by mem- bers of the Caesar and Virgil classes. The re- nowned bridge of Caesar was exhibited both in drawing and by a model. Several war machines were shown and some dolls dressed in the costume of Roman soldiers. Upstairs the tables were arranged in the shape of the letter lf and were decorated in yellow and white flowers. nareissus and daffo- dils. The guests were 11ot able to recline a11d the modern chair took the plaee of the ancient Roman banquet couch. The place cards were decorated with a scroll on which were the words Dapes Romanae. TX Kal Marv mean- ing The Roman Banquet. nine days before the first of March. The banquet was served in three courses. The menu being as follows: GUSTATIO Mulsum Pisces Ora Paris Quarta Cena Fabae Oleae Plaris Vibarius Secunda Mensa Poma Placentae This was found to mean that puneh Cmul- sumj headed the menu. and was followed by fish. a slice of egg, and a slice of lemon, and wafers were also served with this. flera con- sisted of beans, olives. and lettuce sandwiehes. while the Secunda Mensa proved to be fruit and honey cakes. The food was served on tin plates because of the lack of silver which the Romans used entirely, and the girls serving used baskets instead of trays. Une particularly interesting incident was the of- fering of food to the Lares and Penates, the household gods of the Romans. After the guests had been served. George Palm, 33 llfgagister Officiorum tmaster of cer- einoniesj arose and introduced those who were to take part in the program. LIBELLUS Magister Ofliciorum ...........

Esther Blumenstock The first number was a review of the first six books of Virgil, tracing his wanderings from the time of the fall of Troy until he was safely settled in Italy. Next followed a car- men or song by Robert W1ll1tll1lS. This was in ltalian, and for his encore he sang the same song translated into English. Then El- bert Blumenstock gave a humorous description of the life of Julius Caesar. Following this was a Musica, a violin duet, by Gertrude Knorr and Victor Marburger. The Romans used stringed instruments altho they may not have had the same kind as those used for this number. Madeline Kraft then read from a scroll an essay on Roman customs CiMores Romanael. This explained in detail several features of Roman life. Another solo, ttganta Lucian was sung by Viola Seeba. This was in ltalian also and for the encore she sang the English translation. The Rome of a Possuml' given by Groeso Gaines related partly in Latin and partly in English the adventures of the pos- sum. The High School Quartette then sang t'Laudes et Carminaf' and responded to an encore. Esther Blumenstock gave a reading from HQuo Vadisf' describing the burning of Rome. During the last part of the selection a violin obligato was played by Fred Hollander. This concluded the program and the guests adjourned to the lower hall where a fcncing match between Stewart Sproule and Emil Johnson was held. The High School Orchestra. which played during the banquet added a great deal to the pleasure of the guests. Several of those who took part in the pro- gram wore Roman gowns and all the girls who served were clad as betitted maidens of Cae- sar's time. During the evening cards were passed among the guests on which were q11egti0Hg in Latin to be answeredrin that language. This was one of them: t't,1uid est. melius dapibus Itomanis?

SOPHOMORE-FRESHMEN HAYRIDE A party of Sophomores and Freshmen chap- eroned by Mr. Gorman went to Naomi But- ler's home in Riverton, tl1e latter part of November. They started from here at about seven o'olook and wifl1 no serious mishaps finally reached Naomi's l1o111e. Music and ga111es occupied part of tl1e even- ing and later were supplanted by Hwienersf' sandwiches and all tl1e other things that go with hayrides. VVhen finally they started l1o1ne they found that the roads were so bad that some of the passengers would have to walk. So one might have been surprised to see a bandwagon with a few people in it coming along the muddy road, followed by several pedestrians. This was the Elltl of tl1e hayride. but- no one has been fOll11tl who is sorry that he went. LEAP YEAR HAYRIDE As the year 1912 drew to an end the Fresh- men and Sophomore girls realized that their opportunities were slipping away. So they forthwith started a Hayride. The young gentlemen who were invited were called by their fair escorts and tl1e party pro- ceeded to tl1e home of Myrtle Moore in Vie- tory. Here they played games and enjoyed tl1e refreshinents the young men brought. re- turning honu- at an earlyt ll hour. Miss Wil- cox chaperoned.

The rest ot the evening was spent in games and music. The boys Xvere asked to follow some strings which were wound in and out. and at the end they found appropriate toys. These proved very enter- taining. This was practically the last meet- ing ot the team ot 1912. and their tinal act was to elect t'larence Ramsay as captain tor next year. HIGH SCHOOL SLEIGHRIDE The latter part ot February was the occa- sionotanother sleighride propagated byanum- ber ol' High School students. Their destina- tion was the home ot Hilda Kronleinf The roads traversed on this journey Were almost impassable and several ol' the young men ot the party were forced to assist the horses by removing themselves from the sleigh and trav- ersing part ot the weary way on toot. Wlltlll they reached the appointed place they spent lhe evening in games, and later refreshments were served. At an early Cto be taken literal- lyj hour the party returned home and the next day those who had attended were easily distinguished from others by their apparent indifference to what was going on around them. Miss Johnson and Mr. Kronlein chaper- oiled. Senior CHISS Pla The Senior class play. Bachelor Hall,' given by the Senior class at the Lyric theatre Friday. May 16. was a great success as tar as the production itself is concerned. Both of the local papers spoke very highly ot the manner in which the members of the cast played their various parts. Too much credit can not be given Mr. James Dewey under whose direction the play was given. Although the play itself was recognized as a great sue- cess. the proceeds were not as large as it had been expected they would lie. The high price can be taken as the cause. As it was the class cleared over one lumdred dollars. The cast was composed ot the following characters 1 The Hon. Geoffrey Mytleton. congressman from the Ninth district. Emil Johnson. Silas Jervis and Elisha Iiassett. his constitu- ents from Rainbletown. Emil Ekstroni and Lester lloty. respectively. Ensign Jack Meredith. acting under sealed orders, Hugo Johnson. Pinkerton Case. an amateur detective. Fred Hollander. Vere Lee. an amateur actor and author ot ttThe Fatal Shot. Robert Willia.111s. Jasper, the butler at Hllachelor Hall. Wil- liam lllcthtregor. O'Rouke. a policeman. Willizliii tloldberg. Betty Vance. Myrtleton's ward. Clara Gro- ening. Polly Reynalds. an amateur actress. Mildred VvTilliams. Mrs. Van Styne. who has dramatic aspira- tions. Maybelle Heek. tflaire. her' daughter. Beulah Davies. The scene was laid in the congressmaifg l1ou1e at Bachelor Hall. vVElSlll11gt0l1, IJ.

Vlub first took the form of 2 unlted organization, known as a -A Club Ol' 'tbunchv as our name sig- nihes, at the home of Adella Ackerman, HGH! lille Same girls, who are now members of the G. Bfs, met as Sophomore girls, to en- J05' 21- Camll' pull. As this evening was one of the first and also one of the most enjoyable of our class parties, we decided to have inanv such social evenings. and decided to organize. We did not exactly like the idea ofia real club. with their long. tedious business meet- ings so we decided to do away altogether with all formalities and meet only to eat and be merry. ' ' NVe formed an itinerant club, nu-etiug at 110 special time. but going from one home to an- other whenever our fond mothers chose to have us. THE KILL Lily Peterson Flora Johns Hazel Ilennet, Lydia Ericksen Nora Bengston Madeline Kraft Martha Olmstead Hattie Freeman Elora lielota Esther Elumenstoek HE Kill Kare Klan is a society of ten Senior girls who have been drawn into the closest companionship ties of gen- eral interest. lt is like the famous club of Dr. Holmes imagination. a society of mutual ad- miration. The Klan first came into being in the April of our Junior year. but owing to the excitement of Pinafore and other spring activities most of its good times were put off until we were Seniors. It was en- larged and permanently organized in Octo- ber and has been a constant source of delight to its members ever since. At our second llieetillg held at the home of one of our members a mysterious initiation THE J. HE J. D. was the first organized club of the High School year. Weil orga- nized for the simple and express pur- pose of sociability and our chief aim was to give at least one feature party a month. The series of entertainments given are as follows: A Hard Times party. a Hallowe'en party. a Leap-Year party, a hay-ride. a sleigh ride. an lnfant party. a tatfy-pull, a country spread. a trespassers' picnic and a Knicker- bocker party. The Junior club has met with perfect snr' cess in its aims for through it we have had a great deal of school-girl fun. we have lies-n drawn into closer acquaintance and friend- ship with one another and have found that mln mirth alone true wisdom lies- For to be merry to be wise. B. CLUB As it was in the early part of 'E-llfi SCll00l year when we first organized, and as the year of 15113 has far advanced to its end as far as school-life is concerned, we have had many of our pleasant social evenings and besides these have enjoyed two special Unieetings' One a 6:00 o'clock breakfast down on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. The second a farewell party for Groeso Gaines. On this oc- casion we entertained the Sophomore boys. Our club is 1l0lT a very large one, which proves that the old saying the more the merrier is not always true, with our lit- tle bunch of eight, Lois Doyle, Adella Acker- man, Marian Grant, Leda Carlson, Groeso Gaines, Gertrude Knorr, Mary Ewing and Alice Ahnstead, we have always had the jol- liest of times and hope to continue our club to the end of our school career. KARE KLAN was undergone in which we bound ourselves to an undying friendship and to perpetual secrecy. Since our vows have been moderate- ly well kept we have no message for the ftOriole to carry to the world. However, there are three things for which we are eX- pressly noted and for which we will always be remembered: For our late hours, for gos- siping about the rest of the Seniors and for making speeches in class meetings. On these things we will forever base our claims to glory. TVOIIIIIIGIICGIIIQHL will soon be here and all of our organizations will be a thing of the past. Our paths will naturally lie far apart but so joyful have our relations been that the Kill Kare Klan will never forget each other and will never recollect without pleasure the days that we spent within our dear old High School. HThe dawn is rosy, may the sunshine be bright. D. CLUB OFFICERS Lila Madison, President Freda Frye. Secretary. Marguerite Houk, Treasurer. Vera Swanson, Sargeant-at-arms.

THE I TER SE SE The idea of getting togetlier oftener was the motive wl1icl1 prompted us to form o111' club, composed of nine Senior girls, Elizabeth Cribbs, Beulah Davies, l'la.ra llroening, llelen Haskell, Marjorie Place, lllaybelle ll-eelz, Lot- tie Rhora. Edith Seeor and Mildred NVllllH,ll1S, all friends of long standing. The Clllll was formed merely for good times. our plan being to meet once a week and then oeeasioimlly tor so111e social event. VVe had our lirst party on llallowe'en, in the Ilasliell cellar which was decorated for the oeeasion. Vllllilli tl1is was a success, ttBill'i An- lli'l'S0lllS exelaination, Hand the eats! certi- lies. Next followed a Clhristinas party for the girls l1eld at Edith Secorls and of course We had :1 lllll'lSl1lll2l,S tree. A few weeks later on a lu-ight 1noo11ligl1t night, eighteen boys and girls met Hllkl for a couple of hours enjoyed tohogganing and lllljll proceeded to Lottie H1ll0l'E1,lS where re lfl'0Sllll1L'11tS were served. f Wllt'll school was resumed after the Christ- mas vacation Clara Greening entertained us with at lovely evening party. After the serv- ing of tl1e elaborate three-course repast, var- ious stunts were undertaken. The one excit- ing greatest applause was the rendering of ttltlary Had a Little Lambw by Helen Has- kell in operatic style. The auctioneer, Robert Williams, was a close second. One lllonday evening we renewed our youth by a little gil-l's party at Elizabeth Cribbsf Youtliful games took up most of the evening but when the dainty lunch was served the rise of our appetites did not seem to correspond to our supposed age. During Exam Week Beulah Davies invited all the girls to a mysterious spread but since each one had to swear an oath of secrecy, no- thing further can be said about this. Our next special event took place one morn- ing before school when four of the club mem- bers entertained with an Easter breakfast at Mildred Wllll3111S7. Later this spring on a rather cool evening seven ninths of the club gathered at the beach and had our first outdoor session. It would seem by this account that the girls have done all the entertaining, but the boys royally did their share when .they gave us a sleighride to Scottville and a supper at t'Hun- ter 's lnnf' Witli our parties, spreads and club meetings We feel as tho' We certainly have accomplish- ed our iirst object, good times, and that more- over, We have a delightful Senior year to re- member when our high school days are over.

I hr' td LORH JUHN5. l'.G-h9Sfl'U X JANUARY 1313 the Ludingion High Sc-hoof Orchestra was organized as a musical testivai for students interested in this kind ot work. Of course, the work was taken up bv the students with enthusiasm for it had long been the desire ft the students to have such an organization. As is natural. this organization started with high ainis which have been more than realized. Altho' not composed of highly talented players, yet the selec- tions which have been rendered at different times have been highly pleasing to those who have had the opportunity of hearing them. The great success attained by the orihestra has been mainly due to the persistent efforts ot its president, Emil likstrom, who has brought out the best material that its members could produce. After a month ot untir- . . , . V . b . ing practice the orchestra believed iiselt ready to appear in public and in February made announc 1- ment ot' this fact. Accordingly: they were extendftl an invitation to play at the ltoman Banquet which they accepted. During the month prior to this first appearance the orchestra enjoyed many pleasant evenings at the homes ol' the different members where rehear- sais were held. At its iirst appearance the reputation ot the ot'- chestra was tully established. On March, 28, 1913. the second public appearance was made, when they played for the Oratorical and Declamatory contests which were held in the Congregational church. The work was kept up until the close of the school year, and it was with sincere regret that the mem- bers gave up the work as vacation time drew near. Besides the great pleasure gained from the organi- zation as a whole its members derived a great deal ol' educational help in orchestra work.

And Johnson did slide, not however from 3rd to home or from lst. to Qnd.. but in fact he slid from a sharp position to one more natural, namely from B flat to B natural. Another re- markable thing about this base ball game is the fact that the bases do the sliding, not the players. Yes. this is a wonderful game as played by the Ludington High School quar- tette. with the following line up. First Base, with tivo obligato. Robert VVilliams. Second Base with tenor accompaniment, Hugo John- son.i Third Base with baritone echo, Emil Ekstrom. Home plate. with a voice Hlike thunder. VVilliam McGregor. This Wonderful aggregation has only been in organized existence during the latter part of the singing season, but fame for its mem- bers and renown for the High School it rep- resents has attended it throughout its short but brilliant career. The reason for this great success can readily be deducted from the fol- lowing clipping taken from the sporting page of one of the city's leading newspapers. The article was headed MBI-illiant Effortsfl HAt the Roman Banquet held in the High School building last evening great team Work was shown by the Ludington High School quartette, alias the VVeary W'ar-blers. Hln the first inning Johnson tried to pitch, but all he could do was to give a Hbase on ballsf' and such delivery. He started out with a Hslovv ball, or rather low Wail and ended in a miserable sputtering 'tspit ballf' Williaiiis was next on deck With his Sbatsfl He thought he could make a hit, but evident- ly Johnsonls Shigh balln was too much for him, because it vvas noticed that he tanned himself, ln the second Ekstrom Sbingled one out, but McGregor made a fine short stop. At this point the crowd on the bleach- ers thought they would like to make a few assists in Hput outs so they applauded vigorously. They clapped so madly that an- other inning had to be played to Work off the tie, Williams made a 'Fine 'tsacritieen in the tenth, he played goat and hunted. Just about this time, one olclock A. M., everybody play- ed Ty Cobb and Hstole home. This organization has played many more as excellent games and certainly hopes to play more in the near future. But it will not be long before the members sign contracts to sing in the teams of the bigger circuits, for they are all Seniors and hope some day to sing their Way into the hearts of the people in some dear old college town.

Of course, 'here are the Commercial and agricultural elements in this. our new born civilization, but because the predo- minant feature in it is manufacture. we call our civil- ization. industrial. In the words of David Hume. The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. And again Channing says. 'Peace is the fairest form of happiness. Since human industry gives happiness and peace is supreme happiness, let us not tear them asunder. Great as this industrial revolution may be. peice is many times strengthened by the deeper inveetgitions into natural resources: and the consequent appearance of invention. In the ancient world, mountains, deserts, riv- ers and seas separated the people of different countries: and being separated. they became strangers to each other. Strangers more often than friends are quickly incited to become enemies and so it was with countries. But a rapid transformation is being brought about in these rg-gpg-cts, by electricity and steam. Today moun- tains are blotted out and oceans are abolished TW U19 handiwork of man.

Many men of business have selfish interests which prompt them to Dlrli- riddl- tional energy into the task of preserving Dfffwffflll C0111- mercial relations at home and abroad. The commerce of each nation and therefore the welfare of each coun- try depend upon the stability of the government and friendly relations among nations. The recognized fact is that international peace must be preserved in or- der for one country to sympathetically, thoroughly and satisfactorily study the demands of every other coun- try. lf then, there be any instrument by Which .WH can multiply the methods of appraising commodities, the interest of manufacturers at large ought to be in this vast issue which in the end nrmly establishes peace. As We turn over the pages of history., what does War mean to us? It means the squandering ot CIUHU' tities of hard earned capital, the crippling ot the finan- cial system of a nation. Mexico. for three years the slaughter-house of the northern hemisphere, was ably governed from 1893 to 1911. The financial -policy so skillfully Carried Out by Linialitoul' YVELS gallllllg the respect of the nations. New debts were made-to blen- efit the country while old ones were fast diminishing. American and German capital was rapidly being in- vested, to the extent that S0 per cent of the undevel- oped resources were in the hands of these two coun- tries. But how do we now feel toward Mexico? Do you suppose for an instant that the capital of this country would now be invested there? Undoubtedly, it would not. XVhat then will become of this well organized system? All will go to ruin unless some man with executive ability shall rise above the crowd and continue the Work which Diaz so ably began. To an immeasurably greater extent than ever before, the world has joined hands and united in one g1'GELf family. The crash that resounded in 1890 by the fall of the London financial and commercial house of Bar- lng Brothers was heard all around the world. It was the rolling ball which upset' trade in every country for the next few years. In the financial distress of 1906 the drop one morning on the Berlin bourse was instantaneously registered in London and immediately prices in the New York Exchange began to drop. Many were the patrons we lost in 1907 by the panics and famines of Russia and China. The amount of money today invested in our factory system, together with the wages paid is as great as all property. real and personal. of the United States when Lincoln became president, and is as great as the value of all property of Spain in these prosperous days. lf then, the wel- fare of the nations depends is so dependent upon peace, earnest effort to avoid war? Buy four or five acres of ing capital: build a factory increasing its value as real estateg equip this factory with machinery and you are storing up the power to do work: but place men at these machines and you are getting returns on your investments. May we not, then. compare industrial progress to a great, well oiled, uniformly moving machine with many minor fiaws, which labor, the great and vital question of the day, is trying to solve? Is not the progress of our laboring man in this decade astonishing compared with what it mas not many years ago? Truly speaking, if the pow- erful, underlying element in a nation longs for peace, works for it and honestly wishes to have it, what is there in this world that can prevent it? Our laboring man is the builder of the nation: in his home quiet and contentment reign. Franklin said, t'At the working- man's house, hunger looks in, but dares not enter. From out of this class. men are rising to prominence. They realize that no country can effectively work for harmony with other nations until it is in itself an emblem of peace. X'Ve must have Industrial Peace like that for which the great trade unions have been striv- upon finance and finance should we not make an land and you are invest- on this land and you are ing with such favorable success, for years. Lai-gl.. establishments are working harmoniouslvA with a clear understanding between employer and employee. Poli- tical parties are forced to see their dependence upon the laboring class. Never before has this fact been so strongly manifested as in our recent election. Rug- sia, slowly but surely is giving up hal- 5mD,,1.m powers. Working men today control the Beit-hstag of 'he German nation: and are not China and the Bal kans fast joining the ranks for freedom? I The new ideal, then, is universal peace and indus- trial prosperity.

They are gifts which have not been bestowed equally upon all :md some may better' understand their talents and may be more ready to take advantage of their opportunities than others, but there is one gift which has been mated out equally to all mankind. Down deep in the heart of every man God has planted kl seed, which if neglected amd forgotten will remain in embryo, but Which, if nourished and cared for will grow up into a mighty stalk, The seed that has been planted is the knowledge of right and Wrong. The aim of every man should be to weed out the desire to do wrong and so nourish this divinely-planted seed that it will grow up into the greatest and most important of all qualities, uprightness of moral principle. A gre-at many people have the opinion that a man may succeed regardless of his character. Hut it is not so.

And Why is the life of Abl 2l,hi1IH Lincoln of true greatness for our nation? It is because of his noble principles, because of his undying desire to live an honest life, because of his steadfast integrity. All Americans honor him in that he dared to do whvt he thought Was right. even though controlled by enemies All men who have gained an place of honor in the world have had certain high standards ever before them and have lived up to these standards as far as possible. Hznwthorne-'s story, The Great Stone Face is a good illustration of this fact. This picturesque rock was said to reveal in its fea- tures all things tending to upbuild one-'s character, Kind- ness and usefulness to others were the things that :hone forth most distinctly. The impression among the people who lived in the vicinity of this rock was that, some day, a man would appear who would have char- acteristics and features similar to those portrayed in the fact in the rock. There came a mam of Wealth, but he was too miserlyg a hero of the battle Held ap- peared, but gentle wisdom and the deep broad tender sympathies were altogether wanting in his Visage: next an orator, but although endowed with mighty facul- ties, his life was vague and empty because no high purpose had endowed it with reality. But the one who from his boyhood studied the rock and endeavor- Q-d to be kind and useful to those about him without seeking glory for himself was finally recognized as having a like-ness to the great stone face. One of the greatest reasons for living a life of up- rightness is the influence which it casts on those around us. Every person with whom we come in Contact leaves sm impression upon us. A great many people watch our actions daily and are intiuenced to follow our example. A lasting impression is being made upon our acquaintances, according to the lives we live, As a tree is known by its fruits so is a mzm known by his deeds. Would you make the most of life? Then choose in- tegrity and 1-ight living. These will clothe you with virtues and graces that are essential conditions of true success. They will fit you to meet the battles of life und bring you out a victor. so that at last your com- rades will say of you, He was a Man. Harold E.

Yet. the armv, the navy and money-useful as these powers may be -they are not omnipotent. These powers mustkbow in submission to intellect, for intellect is the supreme power. Brotherhood is a power: a power that binds a nation together with indissoluhle bonds. A nation lacking in this respect is weak. It can not stand, Look across our border into Mexico. rent with internal strife. Look again into China and behold the wonderful progress achieved in that country since brotherhood has won out. lt has been said that economic conditions will not permit brotherhood in our land, But let news of a Dayton Hood or a San Francisco disaster sweep over the country and see how rapidly the nation re- sponds with aid for the stricken, ls this not proof that brotherhood holds this nation together? This nation is an embodiment of the fact that men are their brothers' keepers. Organized ethical effort has established federations of labor: it has regulated working hours for Women and children: it has trans- formed our penitentiaries from dungeons into reforma- established fresh air schools for tuber- tories: it has cular children: it has established organizations to help the convict. shackles from the defective, ber of society released from prison: it has removed the arms of the insane: it has elevated the delinquent and the degenerate mem- to a higher plane: it is waging a War against the white slave traffic: and recently, it has introduced the study of eugenics into our schools. Brotherhood is the beacon light that has successfully guided the progress of democracy since the days of the revolution. Though the seas rage and the billows roll. it forever remains the guiding light of our nation: for it rests upon the rock of justice, Justice is a power. A nation can not stand unless it be built upon justice. In no other nation in the world is justice better manifested than in the United States. Here there is no discrimination between the rich man and the laborer. One of our foremost edu- cators has declared that money has less weight in our country than in any other nation of the civilized world. In our land. fortunes are made and lost in a day. Public opinion has checked the power of ii' gotten gain and it has forced the moneys-d men to disseminate their wealth in public gifts, Here rich and poor have full political and social rights. Both enjoy the same educational advantages. The caste sys- tem never has had and never will have zi footing in our country. That love of justice which won for us free- dom frorn Great Britain and freed the slaves in our great civil war, has established us as a model for European nations. A In the rank and tile of humanity rests the respon- sibility of true brotherhood and justice. God 11215 GU- dowed each individual with intellectuallpowers and a Cgnsgience, He has placed high ideals in 'the mind of every Hving bg-ing, The great danger is in the event thatp these powers are allowed to lie dorman-t.and the individual is tossed about by scheming politicians and party leaders, The conscience must be kept alive and the inteqlectual powers must be developed: Fo the individual We 100k for the successful continuance of democracy in our nation. Individual worth is best portrayed in the average American citizen. The power of the nation lies in the average man. That power must be asserted in the ballot.. Our sec- retary of state has said, The humblest citizen in the land, when clad in the armor of a righteous cause, is stronger than all the hosts of error. Selnsh inter- ests are foreign to him and he casts his vote accord- ing to the strength of his convictions and the dictates of his own conscience. The moneyed interests, on the contrary seek legislations furthering their own selfish interests and with their combined capital, they seek to control the nation. The best law maker in the land is the common man. The laws come nearer to him- self, to his home and his country. Law must be based upon justice, else it cannot standf' Laws created in the in-terest of a few are a detriment to democracy. Laws created in the massesis interests are a stimulus to demo- cracy. Just, honest legislation is necessary to keep the yoke of imperialism away from our glorious land. To ob- tain good legislation, men chosen for their fitness alone should be sent to our legislative halls. For as John Ireland puts it, ln America all men are civilly and politically equal: all wield the same arm of defense and of conquest, the suffrage: the sole condition of rights and of power is simple manhood. But there lies a danger in the ignorance of the vot- ers. A man who can not write his own name can not be expected to vote intelligently. A pearl must pass through the stages of evolution before it may be worn as a beautiful gem. The intellect of man must be developed before it will be of intelligent service to mankind. Daniel Webster uttered an undying truth when he said: On the diffusion of education among the people rests the preservation and perpetuation of our free institutions. . Tell me what are the prevailing sentiments in the minds of your young men, declared Edmund Burke, and I will tell you what is to be the character of the next generation. When the youth of our land are allowed to grow up in ignorance and the gifts with which God blessed them are allowed to remain un- developed, then they cease to be their brothers' keep- ers and they cease to remember that all men are creat- ed equal. But when the youth of the land develop their intellectual powers and use their talents in the uplifting of mankind, then, nations spring forward with increasing speed toward the goal of perfection. The nation has awakened to the necessity of educating its youth. Laws have been passed making education com- pulsory, and the number of our schools is increasing rapidly. But education alone is not conducive to good citizenship. The fact that over one hundred lawyers are at present confined within the walls of Sing Sing prison. clearly shows that education, to be effective, must be linked with good morals. A corrupt man is seliish. Seliishness is conducive to imperialism. XVhere good morals are lacking avaricious greed holds sway. A person of great knowledge and weak morals is a greater menace to the nation than an ignorant degenerate-in that his Held of corruption is greater. A gold nugget must be washed and refined to reveal its real worth. In the same manner, the im- purities must be removed from the conscience in or- der that it may act in accordance with the divine will. The church and home must ever foster high ideals of brotherhood and justice in the hearts of our citi- zens. Thus through the medium of the combined ef- forts of our schools, our churches and our homes, the true worth of the individual must be developed and through the correct use of the ballot, he must assert his power in the nation. The average home has given to the world a Luther, a Tolstoi, an Emerson, a Lincoln, a McKinley. It has furnished ninety per cent of our educators, a large per cent of our theologians and the greatest share of our statesmen. No country in the world offers greater opportunities for the average man than our own. In our land the people are the sovereign power: the gov- ernors of our states and the president of our repub- lic are the highest servants of the people. lt is not true that- XVe like sentries are obliged to stand In the starless nights, and wait the appointed hour. ln our land, that man however humble, who fear- lessly does his duty. conscientiously uses the ballot, vicariously serves the people, he is the man of the hour, the bone and sinew of the race. ln such men reposes the Power of the Nation. Princes and Lords are but the breath of Kings, An honest man's the noblest Work of God. Emil J. John son. f'. 'L lj: '.l . Vw 1- ' xb IH ' yufiliv-mfr AM, :W I N if, -. I if -San wf' f ,X If?

'l'he llndington High School Athletic Association with its student otlieers under the supervision ol' the faculty has eontrolled and promoted athletics in years past in a very sntisl'actory manner. The main- taining of a prestige among other schools, the promotion of elean sport, not to mention Iinanees. involved duties which require no .small amount of work. The management of ll. ll. S. athletics in the past four years speaks well for the oiiicers who have had charge of the work. During our beginning years in High School the work of the association was guided by the following otiicers: YEAR OF 1909 YEAR OF 1911-12 President .....................

CHAMPIONS 1912-13 GIRLS' ASKETB LL SEASON FTEN in history there comes a period when the existing condition of affairs does not seem to satisfy the people and they become restless and ln accordance with this desirous o l' a change. general fact the sea son of 1909-10 was marked hy this same feet mg' of dissatisfaction. taste as it were, so that that something must he Athletics had a flat it became imperative done. Responding Qnobly to this call the girls of liudington High School endeavored to bring about the re- quired change by organizing class basket ball teams. That they were successful in their un- ulertaliings is useless to mention. There came a change indeed. lrregularity at practice be- came unknown. Groups of students-especial- ly the boys- could he seen here and there discussing the change. Mass meetings to in- crease the attendance at the games were un- necessary and even the faculty at times for- got. Such great effects could only be brought about by correspondingly great causes. lt might be questioned whether the mere fact of the fair sex participating in athletic sports could produce such results were it not for some additional reason. And this indeed was the case. for probably the real cause ot' the aforesaid effects was the exceptional merit of the respective teams. Great credit should he given to Miss McKenzie for producing in so short a. time such a degree of perfection with the girls. most of whom had never played be- fore. And the school can well be proud of SEASON History affords another example which we may again apply. A comparatively prosper- ous era! ig usually followed by a relatively de- pressing period. So it was in our case. The girls after beginning the season witlnvini seemed to become infused with a spirit ot Stake it easvu and resting on their laurels of the year before. allowed their branch of tho sport to shade into the back ground. Proba- blv another reason for this is that after the SQBSOI1 was well started the Senior girls for some cause disbanded. This fact naturally turned the interest from the Seniors and Janin- ors to the Sophomores and Freshmen until it dwindled from bad to worse and it became 0 O F 1909-10 its fair athletes who worked so faithfully to raise the standard of High School athleticsg. The Senior girls for some reason did not en gage in activities to any extent and it WHS left to the three lower classes to carry the burden which they did with their customary thoroughness. The three teams were very evenly matched throughout the season--pan ticularly the Sophoinores and Juniors and it became necessary to play a series of three games to decide who should claim first hon ors. The Sophomores won two of the threc games. but the games were so close that the Athletic Association decided to award numer- als to both classes. The Juniors also played one outside game with the Scottville girls which they won by a good margin. This shows the standing of the teams compared with those of other schools. ln conclusion it may be said that the girls' venture in the field of athletics proved a tremendous success finan- cially. lt is to be hoped that the example which they gave will act as an incentive to those who will in future years tread the halls of Ludington High School. Sophomore girls receiving numerals: Olive Smith, Capt.g Myrtle Gray, Gertrude Hutton, Marie Johns, llfarguerite Lindenau. Margaret Suess, Bessie Ramsay. Junior' girls receiving numerals: Hazel Bromley. May Andrews, Hazel Kanine, Bes- sie Robbins, Minnie Groening, llla Hasse, Vel- ma Parmalee. F 1911-12 evident that there could be but one result, that of the gradual decay and death of femin- ine athletic activities. ln spite of these ad- verse circumstances. however, the girls pro- duced very good teams indeed and those who had the good fortune to witness their contests saw games that would do credit to any school. We would gladly give girls' athletics. the am- ple discussion which they deserve but on ac- count of the limited space wc will be obliged to close our discourse with this conclusion. The seasons from 1909-11 will stand out pro- minently as the years in which the girls fullv displayed their athletic prowess and their iii- tluence will be felt in this field for some time, V 1 BASE BALL SEASON HE season of 1910 saw 0110 of the best High School teams L1ll1111g'fO11 has had i11 several years and the 1'9QOg'11iti0jl which its achievements brought to o11r school proclaimed it a nine of the iirst caliber.

No lasting achievement was ev- er aeeonxplislied yet that was a suc- cess lll'Olll the start and it is only with this tact in mind that we should view the track and Held activities ol' the season of 1910. In spite ol' the lIlUOYl'lll0llf Held and with prac- tically no apparatus the followers of the Olympic games aroused quite a little interest and entluisiasui that gave good promise of future results. Very promising material Was lu-ought out and after a great deal of hard work Coach Fezzler took the team to Hart with the main purpose in mind ot giving the men some real experience in an actual meet. The next event of importance was the Relay SEASON Witli a year experience to guide them the track aspirants under Coach Haag were more successful this season and they aroused an unusual amount ot interest not only in school but in the city in general. The iirst event was a dual meet at Shelby and the improvement which they displayed was Very encouraging indeed. They next inet Hart in which they again showed an improvement and although they tailed to win the result was far different from the previous year. About this time Mr. J. Williaiiis presented to Ludington High School a cup-known as the Willialiiis Trophy cup to be contested for annually by the four OF 1910 race, participated in by the High School, the Ludington Athletic Club, Watcli Case Fac- tory team and grade schools. The course laid out was the city square-two miles in length -which was divided up equally between the eight men representing each team. The Lud- ington State Bank was to present a loving cup to the winning team and a team winning for two successive years became permanent holders of it. The race between the Athletic Club and Ludington High School was very close throughout with the Athletic Club win- ning by a small margin. The season closed with a picnic at Hamlin Where all enjoyed a good time after the hard work of our first year on the track and field. OF 1911 classes of the High School. This fact brought about the introduction of a field day whicu was to include the Relay Race and the inter class meet. The Athletic Club won the Re- lay for the second time this deciding uianent ownership of the State Bank Trophy. The Willia.1iis cup was won by the the class of 1912. The inter-class meet was the last of the season and the work of the team again brought to an ofiicial close by an- other party given by the track men at Hamlii.

Through the llberality of the Freshmen we are enabled to realize our high school. Each Freshman was compelled to pay twenty cents towards the building land this was sufficient reckoning the number of Freshies.J Enough was realized to build the building but the question until a short time ago was how to furnish it, This was, however, solved by our public-spir- ited and generous citizen, Mr. VVm. McRath, whv came up at the last moment with his ever ready subscription list. The list ran thusly: E Miss Sterling-One elevator qfor private use onlyj. Miss Wilcox will furnish all the 'twindowsf' Miss Hall will give an exhibition of her trained dancers-the receipts will be given to the school. Miss Collins-after much thot gave a tin goblet. Mr. Haag will let the new school be dedicated to his daughter. He also gave a famous picture not named of the Old Grist Mill. Mr. Cockrell-One spectacle case falmost as good as new J.
