ANCHORA, 1927 To the Class of 1927 My dear Friends: The school activities of another June are upon us and we will soon be through with them, too, ready for whatever else the world has to oEer. 'To some of our school family it means simply another milestone passed, and these feel somewhat as they did in their younger days when a birthday was passed. But you of our school family who have reached your majority, so to speak, and now leave the' old school home to make a start in life for yourself must have very different sentiments at this time. You have labored long with English composition, Latin verbs, geometric theorems, and the laws of chemistry or physics, to reach this goal and now you are surprised to find that mingled with the joy of its accomplishment is a tinge of regret. But most of life is thus, our greatest joys are tempered with a little sorrow and likewise if we view the world in an altruistic spirit, always thinking of the other fellow rather than of ourselves, we will find that the deepest sorrows will be mitigated by a re-al joy for someone else. In future years you will doubtless look back upon this June as simply an event or a milestone in a great series of events which have been the building of your life, even as you now think this month to be in the lives of our under classmen. Ever remember, whether you are engaged primarily in preparing yourself for a life work or are actively engaged in one, that friends are more satisfactory as well as more valuable than dollars. When your activities have become more limited, and you wish to enjoy the fruits of honest and well performed labors, you will find that much more comfort is derived from many genuine friends than from many mere dollars. 'That man makes and keeps friends to the best advantage who is of the greatest service to them, who is pleasant, smiling, and joyful, and who brightens the corner where he is. As you leave our family circle to take your place in the service of mankind, do not forget that the greatest service is rendered by those who have the best preparation for it, and if you feel, as I am sure many of you do, that you are not yeit properly fitted for that particular service which you have chosen for yourself, continue your education and .training until you can use your talents most efficiently. Christ spent thirty years in preparing himself for a period of service only three years in length but consider the world-wide induence and far-reaching effect which that service had upon mankind. And through it all let your conduct be such that when the working tools of life must be laid aside, you may hear those welcome words, Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord. As ever your friend, C. E. DeMERI'I'T. M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 7 D. H EFIQUIZUP M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 Ode to the Janitors H ark to the sound of the Janitor's step!

ANCHORA, 1927 Salutatory The class of Nineteen Twenty-seven extends to you a most hearty welcome. For, indeed, who should be more welcome than you, dear friends, who have made this day possible, you, who have so generously provided this beautiful school building and so faithfully backed our every project and enabled us to graduate from an institution which shall ever be our pride? We see on the eastern horizon a new day dawning, a day in which we must prove our ability to overcome obstacles, to resist temptations, and to be successful. We have laid our foundation under the guidance of our parents and teachers and now we must build, on that foundation, our future. We will greatly miss our teachers' helping hands, for we must solve our own problems now, those complex problems of life that always shall remain to be solved, with every individual obtaining a different answer. As the sun daily passes from east to west, sometimes hidden by the clouds but always coming out from behind the dark and gloomy places with a greater grandeur, so shall we be doing our daily work, sometimes meet- ing obstacles that apparently overwhelm us and make us feel hidden in the world. When life seems the darkest, when our hopes are washed away as by the rain, and our air castles fall to ruin as if torn up by the raging winds, then our efforts to overcome these hindrances must be most sincere and firm and we can then draw aside the curtain of gloom and, coming into the light, smile and be happy in a success earned by labor in joy and in sorrow. And lo! When we have reached the twilight of life we shall look back upon trials and our successes and feel the satisfaction that comes from knowing we have done our best. We do not know what the sunset of our lives may be, we would know only through experience and the life we will lead, but in the mind of every Senior is the vision of a rosy and golden sunset, the last days of his life being spent in the comfort gained by earn- est and sincere efforts and by the help of the One Friend who is ever watching over him and guiding his life, his dearest and best friend, with whose help alone the realization of his ambitions and the happiness of his life can be possible. Frances Brower. M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 25 1927 Class History Our class, the- class of nineteen twenty-seven, was founded in the year of nineteen fifteen. Under the most favorable conditions we received our primary instruction and prepared a foundation which has never since trembled. It is certain that our early schooling differed little from that of previous classes, except that perhaps we were more prompt in our classes or a bit more quiet at study. Aside from these two points it was nearly history repeating itself. We had. our long, tiresome days filled with lessons seemingly unconquerable, and we had our short, happy days filled with fun, and frolic. We spent our share of time after school hours receiv- ing special instruction from our teachers. Classmates' birthdays were celebrated, and oftentimes, under proper ch-aponerage, we held parties at our homes. After all, lookin-g back over our early school-life, we conclude that it wasn't hard work, as we once thought, but merely organized play. In January, nineteen hundred twenty-one, when we were known as the sixth grade, the most destructive fire in the history of Mason occurred-. The newly remodeled high school building was entirely destroyed. The loss was great, yet our schooling was but momentarily halted. We resumed classes a few weeks later in the Methodist church of this city. And although the conditions were poor, we satisfactorily finished our work. The next year we attended school at the court house. The present school building was finished in the fall of nineteen hundred' twenty- two. Our class at that time represented Mason High as the eighth grade. We soon became acquainted with the ways of the High room. We learned to plan our work with the greatest care. We learned' the secret of high marks, which so-me of us have forgotten-study. It was during that year, Hilah Paine, our beloved classmate, was forced to leave school because of her health. She died at her home December 1, 1924. We mourn the loss of one who was always willing to do, not just her share, but every- thing in her power for her class. The following year we took up the title of Freshmen. I think we lived up to it, for Mason High never saw a peppier class. The first thing to our credit was the ac- ceptance of the challenge, made by the Sophomores, to a tug-of-war across the mighty Sycamore. 'They were given the decision because we were first to break the ice. Many other events took place that year but never were the social activities placed above our high standard of scholarship. Although the class of '27 was not quiet during our Sophomore year, it wasn't until we had achieved the rank of Juniors that we broke fully into the lime-light. The Junior--Senior reception of nineteen -hundred twenty-six outclassed any preceding event of that kind. As Juniors we headed the high school in achievement for many months. We were represented in every phase of school life, in 'all social events and on all athletic teams. Then after seemingly only a few days had passed we were called Seniors. Seniors, because we were at the top of the list. One short year remained in which to do every- thing that would go down as history. We are proud of our senior year. We have tried to make everything successful. Our senior play, according to public judgment, surpassed all previous high school pro- ductions. The credit for its success is given to the director, Miss Densmore. The an- nual publication of the Anchora, we are certain will be met with the greatest satis- faction. Everything worth while is achieved through work. We have worked hard, and now, with commencement at hand, we feel worthy of our place. Philetus Peck. 26 M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 Giftatory When I was asked to take the Giftatory for this class, I felt unlfitted and I said, How do I know what gifts would be suitable to bestow upon my mo-st Worthy class- mates? It is well known th-at this class of 1927 has outstanding ability and should not be compared with any preceding class so how could I choose suitable gifts for such a group? An idea came to me. Perhaps., for such a class, the 'Goddess Fortuna would con- sent to come to Mason and in her Horn of Plenty might be found gifts that would be suitable. The class of 1927 earnestly desires to do away with war and promo-te peace, and for this re-ason we would present a date 'book to Helen Gunn, Elsie Morrison and Ann-a Couch, that Two bodies might not occupy the same place at the same time. It is known that Doris Densmore would like to be taller-I wonder why? The Goddess Fortuna gives me a yeast cake to bestow upon her that she may rise from the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. To Homer Launstein we present a fishhook with this advice: Take your time, use the right kind of bait, for there are as good fish in the sea as have ever been caught. It seems that to Frances Brower the Gods have already given some gifts but For- tuna brings this megaphone for you, that the voice of our orator might be heard afar. This gift, Frances., will also remind you of the days when you led our yells in Old Mason High. Some are born for great things, and some are born for small, but it seems Philetus Peck came into this world end-owed with the soul of an artist, 'Therefore we give you a set of water colors and ia brush that you will bring honor to your Alma Mater. Don't misuse it by painting the town red. All girls are good for something I suppose, though for just what I've never discov- ered, but when I think of Margaret Eggers of our famous girls' basketball te-am, I feel we must present her with what the 'Gods have often bestowed upon her, HA Basket. Beatrice Fanson shot an Harrow in the air, She missed its Hight, she knew not where. The class tried to help her and all did their part, And the next day they found it in Cliffordi Smith's heart. The Goddess advises a piair of dark glasses for our friend, James Noxon. These are to be worn when he becomes a lawyer. They will make him look distinguished and wise when arguing his cases. The Goddess advised' me to supply Margaret Lasenby with another musical instru- ment, for, one Writer tells us, music is the fourth great material want of our natures. First food, then raiment, then shelter, then music. Addison says that music is the greatest good that mortals know, and all of Heaven we have below. The Goddess somehow learned that Longfellow's Excelsior was appreciated by Rex Beaumont. Excelsior, you know, means higher up. 'This portion of Excelsior, Rex is often heard repeating at twilight: Oh stayjl the maiden said, and rest Thy weary head upon this breast. A te-ar stood in the big black eye But still he answers with a sigh, Excelsior, Accordingly, a box of Excelsior. Somewhere in the good book we read of a foolish virgin who had a lamp, but no oil. We want H-elen Doane to be 'wise and have her lamp burning, so we present her with a bottle of gasoline-fuel for her Coleman lamp. It has been said that what you eat today walks and talks tomorrow. This class walks and talks well because they are go-od feeders. We might like to go to the home of Madeline .Iewett for a feed, so we present her with a rolling pin that can be used for a dual purpose. I have a feeling we should be on the lookout for the needs of our class. This box was given me by a young man who says the Gift without the giver is bare. It's a box of Watkins' heart-balm for Miss Frances Nellis. We have heard' the story of the lost sheep, but saddier yet is the lost man. Ac- cordingly, we give a road map to Ot-to Marshall that he may not get lost on his way to Leslie. The Goddess says she believes in giving beautiful as well as useful gifts, and to Kenneth White we bestow this pi-nk hair-ribbon. We are apt to lose- track of the members of this class. we love so well. Now, Virginia, you write better than many of your class, accordingly, we present you with this pen and request that you use it. n M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 27 Though 'Fredah Francisco wandered away from our class for a time, she returned to Mas-on to be with us at graduation. Fredah, we present you with a magnet, that wherever you roam you will be drawn to this part of the country, and call Mason your home. The Goddess tells me that Fern Smalley and Leona Benardin expect to follow the example of Florence Nightingale, and become nurses. A watch will be needed to take the pulse of their patients and we would suggest that at the same time they watch their own heartbeats, for Longfellow says, It is dificult to know at what moment love begins. Therefore, I say unto you, W.atch! We believe, Mary, you intend to go to college next year. It is generally understood you know as well as anyone ho-w to get next to the Dean, but if he be less easy to approach than some Deans we give you a key to his heart. The name 'Eggers stands for worth while athletics in Mason. Hank has been a participant in sports as well as being manager several times. VVe give you a ball to remind you of your athletic career. We learn that 'Thelma Whipp admires some of the old hymns. Sometimes she sings, t'Thou art the Potter, I am the Clay. Mould me and make me after thy will, while I am waiting, trusting and still. So we feel inclined to present her with a box of Potter's clay. To Kathleen Franklin who entered our class during the past year, we find in the Horn of Plenty a welcome for her from the class of 1927. We understand, Caroline, you expect to attend the U. of M. next year. The God- dess informs me that U. of M. means University of Men and a wise gift for you would be a package of life savers. Murray Peek is one of the few who can behave himself and see that others do. He was elected' policeman this past year and had charge of the halls. Accordingly, we present him with this officer to remind- him of the class of 1927. If our city dwellers had such a grove surrounding their home as has Marion Jewett, methinks they would tak-e a good book and would say, My home, the spot of earth supremely blest, a dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. Marion, you are presented with a book. The Goddess tells me that Joe Bullen aspires to be an electrical engineer. You are therefore given this wire coil to assist you in completing the circuit. We think it quite a waste of time for a girl who aspires to be a teacher to take a normal cours-e just to show young ideas how to shoot. Dorothy, we present you with this revolver as a less expensive means of teaching the young Americans. Alice, to you we give a boat that you may go rowing down the Brooks. There was a little girl that had a little curl That hung down, down. her back just sog It was clipped from her head, the Goddess said, Barr, keep it wherever you go. One of Mason's- best families gathers 'round the piano on Sunday eve and sadly sings: 'tWhere is my wnaldfering boy tonight? -little dreaming that their son, Don, would ever go to Jackson. We bid them hopeful be, he must have his Hing. The class helps them out, and gives him the ring The Gallican Goddes.s Fortuna was wandering in the antique shops of Old Italy and there-, in one of these shops, she found a small bell. She brought it back believing its chimes would stir fond memories in the heart of one of our members-John Chapin. All honor to the farmer, The man with the hoe, The man who will use it, Omar Bartlett, you know. Mary had a little lamb which always lingered 'round', And wherever M-ary went, that lamb could sure be found. He followed her to school one day, it made her feel so mean, But everyone could plainly see that the lamb was Johnnie Dean It is well known that one of our good students likes baseball. The Horn of Plenty accordingly yields to Lynn Harkness something that may help him in this game.. A Glove you will notice. This in no way shall be construed that he was given the mitten. A piece of sheet music, and as I unroll it, it reads-t'Near-er, still Near-er, close to thy side. Draw me, oh, Merna., what-ever betidef' It's too deep and sacred for me and I'll present it 'to the one for whom it is intend-ed, Bob Loomis. Lee Ketchum has distinguishedi himself as an .acrobat in Mason High School. Therefore, we present him with a letter of introduction to the Barnum Bailey Circus and we hope that it will bring him good luck. Charles Davis. 28 M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 Class Will We, the Seniors of Mason High School, 1927, being of sound mind and memory, and being possessed of certain invaluable characteristics and a priceless estate of learning and personal rights, do hereby make our last will and testament to all our faithful followers, on this the 4th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, in the city of Mason, County of Ingham, State of Michigan, with the high intent that they may in time do as great justice to the heights of our position as we have done. To our brother classes we make the following bequests: To the Juniors we will the last row of seats, the privilege of passing out Hrst, the right to take Civics and Economics and any other high priv- ileges and pleasures in which we have taken so much pride and interest during the past year.

To the eighth graders we will the right of having two council mem- bers next year. To the seventh graders we will the privileges of spending the summer exercising their prided ability to run, yell, and otherwise disturb the peace. To our foster fathers and mothers, the teachers, and our uncles, the janitors, we make the following bequests in token of our appreciation and friendship: To Mr. DeMeritt we will the right to become a moving picture director in Hollywood some day.

THE CLASS OF 1927, by John Chapin. Witnesses: D. A. Murray, Nelle Densmore. 30 M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 The Prophecy In 1927 Kenneth White, endowed with experimental ability, devised a revolving sky rocket in which he placed himself and traveled to Mars. We never believed that he would succeed but would be shattered to atoms in the great universe. However, he arrived safely and, having no means to return, worked for twenty years perfecting a super-heterodyne wireless with which he established communication with the earth. He requested that the Hrst message he returned, should tell of each one of the members of the Class of 27l'. The following message was sent: Benjamin Barr is a salesman selling embroidered shirts and hair- ribbons for boys. Charles Davis is conducting a Research Expedition on the Gobi Desert looking for monkey fossils to prove the falseness of his age-old antagonist-Charles Darwin. Frances Nellis is selling Watkins' Products from door to door and her success is very unusual. Helen Doane is a famous movie star. At the climax of her career she returned and established a movie colony at Okemos and is recruiting many of Mason's beauties in the cinema profession. Henry Eggers captured the world's Champion Title from Gene Tunney and he says he could not have done it but for the training he got using his athletic skill in Mason High. Lynn Harkness went to New York and made millions on Wall Street. We always knew Lynn was smart. However, he lost his cold millions soon afterward by paying too much attention to chorus girls. Doris Densmore and Mary Laxton have founded a Charity Home for Siamese twins. Elsie Morrison is a missionary in Africa. It is said her mission schools are full of converts which she has made through her sincere and fervent work in that field. Joe Bullen is the acknowledged successor of Rudolph Valentino and promises to surpass the ex-star in the gentle art of the Spanish dance. Dorothy Harmon studied music abroad and is now teaching in Jackson. Bob Loomis has invented an automatic stretcher where you are not even required to use your arms and legs. John Chapin drives a junk wagon in New York City. He married a garbage man's daughter, but John says she knows a swell dump when she sees it. James Noxon is a radio announcer. Thank heaven! We can turn him on and off as we please. Rex Beaumont is a foreman in a hot air factory daily supplying, through his manly strength, what thousands of others lack. Marian Jewett and Kathleen Franklin are tight rope walkers with Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey. Thelma Whipp is a vaudeville actress. It is said that stage door M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 31 Johnnies are lined for blocks after each performance to present her with Violets and orchids in the hope of winning her hand. U Otto Marshall has his name pronounced Auto so much he invented one with a speed of 200 miles per hour. Omar Bartlett enlisted in the cavalry in order to wear out all of his old riding pants. He was sent to China and upon receiving a false report of the death of Agnes he killed himself in a Ht of melancholy. Betty Brower has taken Horace Greeley's place on the New York Tribune and promises to be the next Democratic candidate for governor of that state. Leona Benardin and Virginia Burgess wanted to be nurses. Now they have a hospital of their own called the Virginia Lee. It is not likely if anyone sends candy there that it will ever reach the patients. When we think of Beatrice, we think of a little rose covered cottage from which no one ever goes away hungry-perhaps she got her start as chairman of the eats committee for the Senior parties. Fern Smalley trained to be a nurse but discovered she was more suc- cessful selling rouge, color of her blushes. While Caroline White was touring Greece to procure material for her latest novel, she disappeared and it is still believed Zeus descended and carried her to the temple of the Gods on Mt. Olympus. Philetus Peck rented a section on Maple street and sells Red Hots. He combines this profession with that of Superintendent of the local Dog Pound. Tales of all missing dogs may be procured at his stand. Margaret Eggers has at last reached her greatest ambition which was to found a home for crippled basketball players, All the inmates are well guarded. Don Snyder went to Africa and was employed picking berries on a coffee plantation. He was captured by a desert tribe and made their sheik. The Dewey nights of Africa have quite charmed Don's romantic soul and it is unlikely that he will ever return to his native state. Murray Peek is a character dancer in a New York cabaret. His grace and supple dexterity are the delight of Greenwich Village. Anna Couch is completing her contract as leading lady in Albert Frazer's musical comedies. Homer Launstein surely has the name of a poet but his poetry far sur- passes any of the famous Greek. Perhaps because he learned so much Greek from Miss Minty. Coxie Gunn rides bucking bronchos on her ranch out west. Zane Grey is using her for local color in his new novel, Hard Hittin' Helen. Lee Ketchum is author of a series of books with lessons that repeat themselves a thing he had always wished for in high school. Ever since Johnnie Dean was a little boy, we admired his eyes. He has invented some glass that gives the wearer as Mary and as magnetic eyes as his. Freda Francisco is traveling as fat lady in a road show. Her days of singing Hello Aloha are over but she sometimes laughs days at a time. Margaret Lasenby is the greatest saxaphonist in the world and spends her extra time as cashier in a Butch -er shop. I am an aviatrix and in my flight around the world I have discovered no better school than Mason High. Madeline Ireland. M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 Senior Poem In 1923, from hamlet and glens, There gathered together a band of friends. Through thick and thin we weathered the gale, Though some of the band by the wayside failed. Of teachers we had a goodly store, Who crammed our heads with knowledge galore Some of this found a resting place, While some of it careened off into space. With knowledge we mixed both pleasure and fun And good times were had by every one. With balls of all kinds both basket and base, We won many games and met no disgrace. To picnics and parties we did ride, With baskets of good things by our side. These frolics lessened the terrible strains- To which we subjected our poor little brains. But as time passed on from year to year We gradually approached the goal so dear, Until at last by dint of strife, We now find ourselves on the threshold of life. Loved teachers and all, we bid you adieug In spirit we'll always be loyal and true. And we offer a tribute to you, Mason High, From which we depart with many a sigh. Tonight we leave you to start anew. As alumni of Mason we'll be ever true blue. And may we continue as we have begun To mix with the serious a lot of good fun. Fredah Francisco. M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 33 Valedictory Parents, Teachers and Friends: Not long ago I walked through an art gallery in which the paintings of the world's best artists had been hung. One picture I noticed in parti- cular showed a Persian weaving at his loom. The rug upon which he was working was being woven into an intricate design with many colored yarns. In studying this I thought how each member of our class has been Working at his loom and making a tapestry into which he has woven beauty, service and happiness of work. He has had much enjoyment in watching the pattern form. There were many flaws and many times discouragement when he would drop a stitch and have to start anew. The yarn would become knotted and then, with needle in hand, he would laboriously work for hours trying to untangle this snarl. Perhaps the thread would break and then, he would have to tie the ends together and endeavor to conceal the knot from sight. Some of us have had more trouble than others with our tapestry but we have tried to conquer these obstacles and now we have brought our pattern to its completion. At last it has been accepted by the Master Weavers. Now we must say farewell to these Masters. We are sorry to leave this place where we have been working the last thirteen years. Yet we dream of what we are going to do with our finished piece of work. We were eager to have it completed, but with its completion, we feel sad.: And so we say to you parents, your influence and cooperation will ever be near us. But to you, members of our faculty, we say that some of us might not have been here had it not been for your encouragement, sym- pathy and understanding. May our service to citizenship through you be genuine. We have nothing but the most sincere appreciation for your service and we shall strive to be worthy of your patience and helpfulness. And so we say with the poet: Hail and farewell companions, Friends that we know to be true, The past with its rosy tomorrow, Days when our sorrows were few! Sweet be the lay of the Songbird, Fragrant the flowers on our wayg Lovely the dawn of the morning, Happy the hours of our day L Crystal the skies bend above us, Perfumed the earth and the air- What can our friends though they love us Give us than School Days more fair?

H. S. ANCI-IORA, 1927 PresicIent's Address It is, with a certain amount of pleasure mingled with a touch of sad- ness, that we, the Seniors, come to the climax of our school career. Four years ago at this time when the Seniors of '23 were graduating, we had a feeling that it would be an eternity before we would ever reach that highest rung of the ladder, the goal which so many strive to reach. But now we have attained it, and how regularly those few years have gone! Now we incline to patronize those who have just begun their school life. This is only human nature for man is continually striving to obtain that which he has not, or that which is just beyond his reach. Solomon once said, When I was a child I spoke as a child and thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things. And so it is with us, we have come to the place in life where it is necessary to put away childish things and look toward the future. We must fight to the finish, never give in for it is through mans' own efforts that he gains the world. The campaigns we take part in may be long, tiresome, and full of troubles but we must overcome odds when they are heaped against us and finish with the banner of victory. So far we have received our orders from superior officers, the trails have been straight and smooth. The going has been easy, the obstructions have been few. But now the trail ends and many dissimilar roads of life are opened to our view. We must look to our maps and the symbol on the signboard. We know not where these roads may lead. For some the trail leads up, for others down. Some turn south and some turn north. Rough roads on the highways of life are ever before us. On so peri- lous a journey we must be confident and keep a firm and steadfast footing. There will be those who are near and dear to us who may help and cheer us on our way, ever thinking and hoping for our success and happiness. I would say: Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by- The men who are good and the men who are bad As good and as bad as I. I would not sit in the scorner's seat Or hurl the cynic's ban- Let me live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend of man. In closing I wish to express to you, classmates, my sincere apprecia- tion for the high honor you have bestowed upon me these last two years of our high school life. We have worked and studied together and, to- gether, have accomplished our task as these diplomas will indicate. We have been started well upon the highway to the road of success, where we are to build a life for ourselves. Let us strive to make this life a worth- while one, one in which, when we come to go beyond, we can say that we left the world better than we found it. Although we are soon to separate into many directions, we will always be classmates and members of the class of '27 whose motto is, Not Upon but Toward the Heights. John L. Dean. M. H. S.

Scalps galore and victories plenty! The first scalp you see is that of the Sophomore Class captured during the class rush when we pulled them through the icy creek. The second is the Basketball scalp won from those same Sophs in the annual Basketball tournament. The rewards of the various successful battles were indeed meritorious. A splendid interclass party given us by the Sophomore class and chaperoned by Miss Minty, the Sophomore sponsor, and Miss Smith, our own advisor, proved a reward worthy of our strenuous efforts at rope-pulling.

ANCHORA, 1927 Ingham County Normal The age old saying that good times stop with High School graduation has been proved a faulty, in fact we may say, a deinitely incorrect state- ment. The Ingham County Normal aims primarily to train for the profes- sion of teaching. But coupl-ed with this Worthy goal is the modern idea of making teachers human and fun loving and we feel no shame in saying that we feel competent to go out into the many tasks that lie before us with an optimistic enthusiasm which will guarantee success in our profession and in our personal relationship with our pupils. We feel a family nearness in our Normal classy it is almost as though we were bound together, Working toward a common end. Our parties have shown a re- markable cooperation and we feel that no college could have produced a finer example of class spirit. Due credit and appreciation should be given to our host and hostesses this year-Arvide North, Joanna Franklin and Jean Glynn, at whose homes evenings of keen enjoyment have been spent. The school house has been the scene of four parties which were not only normal but tended toward abnormality in the success of their entertainment. Miss Blount, Miss Larnos and Miss Wells should really receive the laurels for making this such a successful year, for under their guidance We have learned that a teacher may be loved, respected, and revered yet still be a true teacher. We expect to end the year in a blaze of glory when we travel Lansing- Ward for County Normal Day at M. S. C. on May 20th. Class colors ....,.,.....,,,.....c...

Student Council The Student Council is the legislative body of Mason High and the laws made by this body are, in the efforts of the members, those laws which will benefit the students as a whole. All acts of the council are subject to approval of the Faculty, who judge their constitutionality. The Student Council is not a mere group of people who act according to the suggestion of the Faculty, but they have done and are doing many things of importance. All the High School business is done through the medium of the Council and the sum of money handled yearly by this body, and the things it is expended for, prove that the Council is an active and business-like body and not just a figure-head in the affairs of the school.

High School Orchestra The Mason high school orchestra, under the direction of Miss Mar- garet Wells, has attained great renown throughout and around Mason. There are sixteen members in the orchestra, which is a number far sur- passing that of previous years. They have proved their loyalty to Mason High and to their director by playing at various functions when called upong among them were kindergarten play, senior play, high school movies, Methodist and Baptist church programs, annual spring recital at Lansing and at the commencement program. They demonstrated their talent along musical lines by presenting a concert in March. Many future musicians from the grades startled the spectators by playing instruments almost as large as themselves. This event was the first real concert ever given by the high school orchestra and it is hoped that the future orchestras of Mason will follow in their foot- steps, and make the concert an annual affair. As the orchestra only loses three of its members we look forward to a larger and even better one for the coming year. We are very sorry that our director, Miss Wells, will not be with us next year for she has done so much for us, and we wish her much success and happiness in her new undertaking. ' 52 M. H. S.

The primary purposes of the club are to get the members together to further their interests in athletics, and for their personal enjoyment. The members did not wear their letters merely for appearance but for the purpose of giving inspiration to the boys of the Junior High School and the grades that they may be fitting athletes of Mason High School. The club has been an active organization this year. Several banquets were held among which was one to the football squad and one to the girls basketball team. New members were put through a vigorous initiation program and period of probation before they were declared members. Mr. Miller and Mr. Murray are honorary members and serve as club advisors.

Chirps from The Charm School Playing to packed houses on both nights of their production, the sen- iors of 1927 staged a real dramatic success in the high school auditorium on the evenings of April 29 and 30 when The Charm School was offered to the public. The play, a clever three-act comedy, was of a quality merit- ing the best efforts of the class, and it received a flattering interpretation as a whole. The slogan, Every actor a star was chosen at the outset, and there were singularly few flaws for an amateur play. The lines were learned so well 'that in places one character would almost find himself giving another's lines. The fact that Miss Densmore, the director, had her book upside down all through one act is proof enough that little prompting was necessary. Stage settings and lighting effects were especially success- ful due to the efforts of Murray Peek and Lee Ketchum. The outstanding feature of the play was the midnight scene on the road when Austin, Charles Davis in disguise, had captured Elise, Fredah Francisco, after her desertion of The Charm School. Driving in a funny old buggy through a Hlight rain when the moon shone in all its glory was a surprise that M. H. S. ANCHORA, 1927 57 pleased the Mason audience immensely. There was a certain artistry about the whole production that will be a happy memory to all those who participated in it. With a cast of almost thirty members, individual men- tion would be impossible, but of the outstanding players, credit must be given. Helen Doane, who did the part of Miss Curtis in an inimitable manner. She was most successful in the way she got her laughs over. Charles Davis, the handsome, but stern lover, was the exasperation and joy of Elise's heart. But if he failed to make the first advances she cheerfully made them for him. Charles could shift from a rather tyrannous professor to a gay young bachelor in the twinkling of an eye-and, speak- ing of twinkles, shall we ever forget the twinkle in his eye when he said, Elise in that soft purry tone so unbefitting a boarding school instructor? Fredah is next in line for her share of the laurels. What promised to be a handicap proved a distinct asset when Fredah's voice swayed her audience with her gentle, girlish accents. Even when it soared to dangerous heights, its effect was satisfactory rather than otherwise. She could wind uncle darling around those pretty fingers of hers whether or not he would ad- mit it. She did a memorable piece of acting and brought great fame to herself as well as the play. Philetus Peck as George Boyd was a versatile actor, who could bring tears to his audience one moment and fears for his sanity the next. The bout that took place in the second act between George and Austin showed a most realistic pugilistic intensity-while it lasted. The role of a boy who wanted to be a farmer, but whose family was determined to have him in the legal profession was given to James Noxon and he carried it to a fine climax. Once he learned his cues you couldn't stop him! Homer Johns, the most successful lawyer in New York, was played by Rex Beaumont, and although he had to stoop over considerably to get in the entrances, he managed to find a suit of clothes suitable for his longitude. He had a didicult part and did it in a very creditable manner. The twins, Tim and Jim, played by the immortal Kenneth White and the equally clownish Don Snyder were the Mike and Ike attraction of the evening. Their coordination in acting was superb and combined with the humor of their lines made what would have been minor parts into star roles. Doris Densmore, as Miss Hays, the adored and re- spected principal, was as charming a lady as ever graced a stage, and her part will always be a dear memory in the hearts of her classmates. Carolyn White, as Sally Boyd, was the only girl who could take the part of the school mischief. She could say Ye Gods and make the audience laugh or stub her toe and have the same effect. She had the voice, the ability, the talent for the part of Sally and she was in every way a huge success. The clever uniforms, the fine individual responsibility, the clever act- ing on the p.art of the girls in the Charm School really made the play what it was generally conceded to be- one of the best senior plays ever seen in Mason. 58 M.

Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club has a limited membership of twenty, and although some of the members have moved away others have taken their places and the maximum has been constantly kept. More interest than previously has been shown this year and as a result much progress has been made. The girls appeared for the first time in their attractive white uniforms at the Glee Club and Orchestra Concert. After that they were in great demand and responded to the call by entertaining at the Sunday school convention, Farmer's Club, kindergarten play, Christmas pageant, com- mencement and the crowning glory of the year, their operetta, The Feast of the Red Corn. The Glee Club has made a permanent place in the activities of Mason High and to Miss Margaret Wells, their director, much credit for this must be given. To Miss Beatrice Tyner, who has so loyally accompanied the girls due credit and appreciation are expressed. Oflicers President .....,, ...............

Football Though the Mason High foot-ball squa.d failed to win a game in the Little Ten League of which they are a member, they came through at the big end of the horn in exactly half of the games which they played this year. 'The team had some fine talent for high school football and it is believed that next year's- team will be an excellent one, although the loss of the following senior players will be greatly felt: Captain Phile-tus Peck, quarter-back, who showed remarkable head-work and accuracy in pass- ing, kicking goals, and calling signals, John Dean, a half-back of vim and vigor, who usually could carry the ball for gains when called upon and who portrayed wonderful skill in running interference and blocking men out of the play, and his ability in going through the line for short passesg Charles Davis, another half-back, though in his first year on the gridiron, developed into a very clever triple-threat man, punting, passing and carrying the ballg Henry Eggers, center, a calm, steady player who passed back with accuracy and was there to back up the line on defens-eg Ben Barr, an old man at the game who could play any position and could be depended upon to do his part in the most convincing manner. The men letf for the hope of the team for next year are Captain-elect, Edwin Griffin, a strong and steady guard who could be depended upon in every game to hold the line and help force his own team through on the offenseg Elmer Corbin, a tackle, who gave and took with the same smileg Wayne Campbell, our long-geared guard, had a way of wrapping himself around enough opponents to hold the line effectively and could push them out of the way on olfenseg Walter Leswen-ey and Harrison Wilcox held down the end positions in a way that worried the opponents and broke up many of their Well planned plays: Ellis Hazelton, Hollis Bartlett and Jess Curtis, young back- field men, who will undoubtedly be the chief offeinse for Mason in the season to come.

Baseball The springtime sport in school athletics has been undertaken and advanced by the deep interest and enthusiasm of the candidates, new and old, and of the fans Several of the players are veterans of the team and they show marked progress in the art of baseball. 'Captain Loomis, Doolittle, Harkness and Chapin are feeling at home on the diamond due to the fact that they have taken up the game where they left off last summer. Several Freshmen are out for practice and the prospects for the coming teams look favorableg also, the work accomplished by them on this year's team has proved beneficial to the team of '27. Mason's entrance into the Little Ten has raised its standard and has given the team a definite goal to strive to reach. Larger schools such as Albion, Charlotte and Hastings are our opponents. The schedule has been a hard one, but under the leader- ship of Coach Miller and .the cooperation of each player the season has gained the admiration of Mason High.

Basketball The basketball season of '26-'27 was not as successful at it might have been from the point of scores. Backed by loyal alumni and by the townspeople the team had every chance to show their stuff. Various happenings-breaking training and smoking by members of the squad had a direct effect upon the team. Coach Miller, finding out the guilty ones, ruled them ineligible or put them under very strict pro- bation. 'This had the desired results-the team came back and beat Grand Ledge 21-20 after 'being behind at the half. It can be said of the team this year that they played their best ball when playing against a strong team. Albion, considered the best team in the Little Ten League , was able to beat Mason by only six points in both games. 'Those receiving letters were Barr, Peck, Davis, Bell, Campbell, Griffin, Corbin and Beaumont. With only four letter men lost to next year's squad and with Junior High prospects it is predicted that Mason will have a more successful season next year under Captain-elect Corbin.

Dutch Lamont always managed to get the- tip-off in spite of the fact that she was often shorter than her opponent and made, with Mig Laseniby, one of the fastest center pairs in the history of basketball. Mary Laxton al- ways played a stellar game by breaking off those dribbles and preventing a score. Waffles Braman, our jumping wonder seemed to pick the ball out of the clouds. Dee Densmore, when in a game, was always able to find the basket from any place on the Hoor. 'Betty Hill with her lucky one-hand shot brought thrills from the crowd. Milly Eggers had .the fight which is needed in the forward position, using her pivot to get away from her guard. wLura Blodgett, Ruth Hancock, Norma Barr and Dorr Disenroth show good material for a winning team next year.
