EDIT O RIAL Again, in this month of June, Marquette lligh School is graduating some 130 students who will go out into life or enter some higher institution of learning whe1'e they will eome in eontact with higher and nobler ideals of life. where they will become imbued with the cosmopolitan spirit of the American college and where they will put into praetiee the ideas they have been taught in Marquette lligh Sehool. 'l'hey will go out in life, some of them, and become tradesmen. They will have as their ideal the ideals taught them in this school. 'Flu-ough the eohunns of the Tatler, we, the editors, wish to express our appreciation of the work done by the teachers in making the studies of the graduating class as beneficial as they have been. To Principal ll. Bl. Rosa we wish to extend our sineere regards. Priueipal Rosa has been the guide of the elass during his two years' of service in Marquette. lt has been because of his service and that of the faeulty, that the graduating class of Marquette High School will be able to go forth into the world and make the name for themselves that they will. Yet it is with regrets. that we leave this institu- tion. Having spent four years here, knowing every corner and eranny in the building. re- spectfully intimate with all the teachers, and have come to 'realize that the four years thus spent in close contact with the other students have been of mueh value to us. Nl'e leave, others follow. It is our sincerest wish that at some time, during our lives, wc will be in a position where we may help Mar- quette High School. The student body of Marquette High School take this opportunity of thanking James Miller, president of the Junior class, for the honor he bestowed upon this institution when he won from four opponents at the State oratorieal meet at Mt. Pleasant, .Tune 6. llie would like to read next year of anotherhigh sehool vietory in thisline. We can only repeat that publie speaking is recognized today as a vi- tal attribute in a man's make-np. James Miller will be remembered in years to eome not only by friends but by people all over the state, as a living example of the energetic American public speaker. In the columns of the Tatler, we the edi- tors, wish to thank Miss lilizabeth Lowney, of the 'Fatler stall, whose untiring efforts and zealous labours on the commencement number made it possible for this issue to be printed. Miss Lowney, though a senior, and busy with her graduation atlairs, spent several hours each day on the issueg superintended the assemblage of the paper, gathered material for the issue, and did all in her power to make it a success. lVe, therefore, wish to publicly thank Miss Lowney for the work that she has accom- plished in this, our iinal number. 4 ss 1 iii'

Freshman Class History Amos Densmore, President. Martin Cleven, Vice llresident. Florence Lowney, Secretary and Treasurer. On the 3rd of September, ninety curious little Freshmen entered the Marquette High School door grinning. The Seniors smiled in their wise, old knowing fashiiong the Juniors vvvflgcd each other saying, Poor Freshies! Tee Heel , but the Sophomores, the wretched h 'vtes laughed at the top of their voices as ruthlessly as possible and they tried in vain to fool us bewildered Freshmen. As soon as the Freshmen got to the knack of things they showed the Sopho- mores where to stand. lVe had our class meeting and elected our officers. Dur-ing the Athletic Association Drive no one expected anything of the Freshmen, but tl1e'Sophomores had to go some to beat us. Then a few Freshmen girls thinking this a dull old school, asked Coach Morrison to or- ganize H Girls, Baseball team. Having played the Sophomores twice and having defeated them most deplorably we then humped up against those sly Juniors, and believe me we made some showing. A few industrious Freshmen entered the Declamatory Contest and came out with fly ing eolorsf' Eddie Miller won second place, and our gallant president, Amos Densmore, gained third place. Our brilliant beginning prophecies that our senior year will resemble that of the Honor- able class of 1919. FLORENCE MARIE LOVVNEY,
