Life has become inter- dependent. No longer is the individual able to solve the problems of the day as an individual, but only as a member of a social group. Life will make severe demands on selffrestraint and selffcontrol. These together with the degree of skill possessed in a certain vocation will largly determine your. success in the future. Ability to cooperate is not native but acquired. You, as a class, have established a reputation for team work and cooperation which will undoubtedly be a guiding factor in your lives. I am sure that you have established the right attitudes and habits to meet successfully the problems of the turbulent times. I wish to express my appreciation to the Class of '37 for the high degree of citizen- ship and scholarship attained during the years in Mason high school. Our association has been pleasant and will always cast a pleasant glow in my memory during the years to come. It is with sincere regret that I bid you goodbye. D. A.

Mi'. lvlurray came to us as teacher and coach in the fall of 1923 from Olivet where he had obtained his A. B. degree. In 1925 he became principal and served faithfully in that office until 1923 when he took over the position of superinf tendent. - -.,- Anchora 10111 1 1 1 1 1:1 11:11 11 1 1 -1 1:1--1.

We may readily apply these famous words of Shakespeare to the Senior Class of '37, For the last thirteen years our stage has been, for a great part, here in Mason High School. We have acted our parts, often having to be prompted, many times forgetting our lines, but always being encouraged by our friends, teachers and parents. We have formed friendships among our fellow actors that will be carried with us through our whole lives. Our teachers have patiently and earnestly helped us to achieve what we have, and not enough can be said for the wonderful influence they have had on us and will have on our entrance onto the greatest stage of all, the world. To our parents, words cannot express our thanks for the sacrifices that they have made that we may all be better actors on this great stage. and so, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1937, we take this opportunity to express our thanks to our friends, parents and teach' ers. Budd Zimmer, Class President CLASS HISTORY We, the class of nineteen thirty'seven, started our school days in the present build' ing in nineteen twentyffour. Eleven members of the original class will Hnish their high school days this year. They are Rowena Flagg, Frances Willis, Marjorie Snyder, jareld Smith, Edith Stevens, Betty Hamel, Ellen Field, Charles Myers, Budd Zimmer, Philip Williams and Malcolm Petty. Our early school days differed little from those of any other class except that per- haps we were a little more wide awake and alert. We started our athletic supremacy in the fourth grade with the champion baseball team and have always held a high place in the schools sports, both boys and girls. We have had our share of long tiresome days with hard problems but we also have had numerous days filled with the more pleasant tasks. ln nineteen thirty-two we entered the seventh grade to get our first taste of high school life. We spent two moreforfless quiet years and then entered high school proper as Freshmen. Although the usual tugfof-war was abolished that year we showed our worth in other ways. We were represented in every phase of school life, social and athletic. We carried on as Sophomores into our junior year. We really worked hard that year and feted the Seniors with a Hne reception. Now only a short time remains before all our accomplishments will go down as history. We feel proud of our Senior year. Cur Senior play was a success and we have put out the annual publication, the Anchora, which we hope will meet with the greatest satisfaction. We have worked hard and with commencement here we are proud to have reached our goal. -Malcolm Petty. SALUTATORY As a member of the class of 1937 I wish to express a most sincere welcome to the parents, because it is they who have made this evening possible, to the teachers, because they have helped us to fit ourselves for the future, and to the friends, because they have aided and encouraged us in times of need. To some of us this great occasion is one of sorrow for we now have come to the parting of ways and must bid farewell to friends and teachers. To me, however, it seems an occasion of gladness, for now we are free to go on to higher schools of learning, or, without further preliminary training, to find our own niche in the world and try our utmost to bring fame to our dear old school. To me, our school life might well be compared to a giant tree. As children the seed of knowledge was planted in our minds just as the acorn is planted. The seed grew and brought forth a large tree. But without outside help it could never have developed. It drew food for thought from current topics and fed its soul through the reading of good books and the social life of the school. It grew physically sound by exercise, sleep, and proper diet. It developed an original personality by contacts with others. Thus the tree grew. Tonight it is dressed for the greatest occasion of its life. Its leaves are painted all the glorious hues of scarlet and yellow. On this evening with the presentation of diplomas will come the wind of Graduation that will scatter us thither and yon: To employ our training for unselhsh cause: To achieve the worthy without selfish aimg 'To firmly stand, undaunted, for standards pure and trueg To give our best, to serve, and bring our old school, fame! -Glenna Childs -.,...- -.- Anchora..,:.: 2 :I I.: Z.: I.: :,...:.:.:.:.,:.: ...:...,.

Glenna Childs beat Mrs. Dionne by one. And all six of them are alive! Argial Collins is an architectural landscaper if you understand what that means. -No, I understand that he designs rich people's homes, gardens, or grounds. Last night I went to have my fortune told. Guess who told it for me.fNo, not he, Mary DeRose. -I don't know whether she is a fake or not but she assuredly could tell my fortune as I wanted it told. Listen, has my call gone through to Madeline yet?-No.-Oh, Made' line is a doctor and specializes in childrens diseases. Did you know that Violet Farnum is a chorus girl. She wanted to start as a fan dancer but as you probably remember just at that time they passed a law prohibiting that type of dancing. Ellen Field is supposed to be a painless dentist. The other day I went to have one of my teeth pulled at her olhce. She nearly killed me. Where is Rowena Flagg?-In the circus? What is she doing there7fShe is the Wonder Woman and earns her living by eating ten meals a day. She always did have a pretty good appetite though you wouldn't have known it because she always was so slender. Maybe she has some secret formula for reducing.- And you say Holbert Fuller is a missionary to Africa. And Bob Sanborn is a preacher. What ever became of Betty Hamel?-He married her? I suppose you read the Good Manners column written by Helen Glynn. I never imagined she would ever write such a column.vRoy Guernsey is an airplane pilot for the old China Clipper route. He al' ways was up in the air though not in an airplane. Helen Holmes is a nun. Russell Huntington is a barber in Mason.

They claim she tames the wild tigers with her won' derful voice.

And Wesley Webb is a chef in the New York Waldorf. Phillip Williams is a tailor.-No, I'm not trying to be funny. Not Tfa-yflfofr. Frances Willis owns the Wrigley Chewing Gum factory.

They say Kenneth Bartow runs a combination dog pound and a little hot dog stand. He always was a little Scotch.-What! Howard Oesterle is a jeweler. I imagine he runs the jewelry store so that he would not lose so much on his five former wives?-And Malcolm Petty owns and runs a Dude Ranch in Wyoming. He thought probably that he never could be rich so that he might as well earn his living from rich people. And wasn't that hor' rible how janet Hemans hypnotized Lillian McKean and they haven't been able to awaken her yet. They think that she has some kind of sleeping sickness. Janet feels badly about it and has tried to remove her from her trance but all her efforts and those of other people have been unsuccessful.-Irene Huntington is an insurance saleswoman. She has always loved to talk. Now she earns her living on how much she can talk. She even sold me one policy of her Talk Them to Death insurance'-My call has comc through.

We'1ie been winners in the skirmish And our work has been well done, But we now must face real battles For the fight has just begun. We have delved in Mathematics In a scientific way. We are versed in ancient history And in language, we are gay. And our gallantrgroup of teachers Wll0'l78 stood by us all the while, Miist feel proud of us this minute, I can almost see them smile. From the days of kindergarten To this grand and glorious hour, Like a gaunt and haunting specter, They have held us in their power. But today the spell is broken And we have them all forgiven For were winners, yes, were winners, Our class of ThirtyfSeven. But with passing comes the parting, Soon our paths must separate, We must face life's battles bravely, Learn to labor and to wait. But where e'er our paths may take us, And no matter where we're driven, Let's remember, we were classfmates In nineteen thirtyfseven. Anchora -By Martha Laws -,,-,,-.,-.,- Anchora ..,- .-..- .-.,- .- ,-. VALEDICTORY Graduation opens and closes many doors. School doors lock behind us, and before us lies the vista of a new education-education in the school of life. The doors in which the keys have been turned are closed upon the scenes of the happiest days we may ever know. Acquaintances have been formed which will never be forgotten. After leaving this school we may never see many of our classmates again. Fate may take some of us to the other ends of the earth, or we may live for the rest of our lives only a short distance apart. Though our paths may never cross, we will cherish the memory of each friendship formed. We can not easily forget the teachers and friends with whom we have worked for four years. The door through which we now must pass opens into a great garden divided by many paths, each leading to a chosen profession. Some of the paths are worn smooth by constant travel. Others which lead to a comparatively new field of endeavor show the marks of recent blazing. We who are about to enter this garden must make our choice as to which path we will follow. Perhaps some of us will choose a certain one because it looks the easiest, not because our shoes are best fitted for that type of travel. Others will choose the path for which they believe they are best suited. Still others will be content to remain at the starting point, waiting for opportunity to come knocking at their door. Now that this time to choose our path and say goodbye has arrived, we realize that no one can really appreciate his school days until he knows they are over and can' not be retrieved. ln saying our farewells, we also express our gratitude to everyone who has helped us thus far-our teachers, whom we will remember long after we have for' gotten our lessonsg our schoolmates, who have helped make our school days more enjoy' able: our friends, who have been ready to help us with kind words and deeds: and more than all thesefour parents, who have sacriliced more than we shall ever know, that we might receive an education. To everyone we express our gratitude and a fond farewell. Young lives now must face their world- A place to them in mystery furledg Facing it with a hidden fear: Parting paths are asking 'kWhich way here? Cash reward for city toil, Or freer life on open soil? Thrilling sound of deepening mine, Or lullaby of singing pine? Forges' roar and hammers' clang, Or healing of a mortal pang? Life given o'er to golden gain, Cr soothing words to souls in pain? Taming of a whirring gear, Or sacrifice for lives held dear? Luring lights of festal halls, Ur calm refrain of night birds' calls? Some shall go and some must stay: Which should be, none now can say. But the moiling crucible of time Will mould for each a life sublime If he has but answered with conscience clear When parting paths have asked him, Which way here? -janet Hemans iwricxiniariniriixaniivixcfinielurirzq .....:..:.: :.: : :.:.:.:.:..: :.:..:..:.:..:..:.: :u-Anchora..,-.-.....- VALEDICTORY As I think of this day of spring passing into summer, summer into fall, and autumn into winter, I know I shall be forgiven if I make a fanciful comparison between these seasons, and that which we see in imagination through life's window of dreams. As Mother Nature moves from the promise of spring to the fulfilment of summer, to the mellow richness of autumn, to the safe retreat of winter, so man, in the normal span of living passes through the door of youth's hope and adventure to the chamber of man' hoods realization, to the softer adjustment of approaching age, on to the quiet peace of life's white winter. We know that spring is for Nature. It is then that the earth and heaven are being prepared for the full flowering of summer. So it is that in the springtime of human life, in childhood and youth, we lay the foundations of what is yet to come. It goes without denial that the seeds of living planted then become beginnings of success or failure. Youth looks forward into the future with a hope that knows no bounds, with a fancy that overleaps the present, a daring that knows no discouragement, an enthusiasm that sings in dreams and visions. It is in the springtime of life we lay the foundations of our ideals. Some dream of riches and fame: some of power and beauty: some of studyg and some of just having a good time . We must learn early to distinguish between the sham and the real, the permanent and the passing, the high and the low. The next window of dreams looks out upon the summer of life. In nature, summer brings to fulfilment the expectations of spring. The hidden beauties of April and May become the gorgeous realities of june, july and August. But also there are droughts and insects and frosts, which destroy the harvest of our most careful planting. So it is with human life. The dreams and visions of youth in too many instances fall short of realif zation. The world, we begin to see, is not an easy place in which to live. Maturity may bring us glorious success, but it may also bring us up with a shock to the fact that we are not as good as we thought we were. It is a time for taking inventory of what we can do and what we cannot do. Some simply drift on the stream of failure and get nowhere with dreams of what might have been, others, more sensible, see their real possibilities. and build a solid foundation and structure thereon. As we come upon the next window of dreams, we look out upon the autumn of life. The gray hairs are beginning to come: the body is slowing up: ambition is beginning to relax. We see the setting sun. We like to rest more, the strenuous life does not hold the same appeal. What once seemed so terribly important seems a little insignificant. So in the autumn of life, when good fortune, genius and hard work have heaped comfort, luxury and honor upon us, let us be humble and sympathetic to those who have fallen by the wayside. Finally, at the end of the short road of life stands the winter of old age. It, too, has its window of dreams. For a rich and fruitful life is the crowning glory of attainment. Grown old, we may sit back in tranquility, and enjoy the simpler things of life. If we have enough within ourselves of peace and happy memory, then the window of winters dreams will be painted with mellowness, charm and beauty. So we look out upon human experience through life's four windows of dreams . . the springtime of youth, adventure and hopeg the summer of realization and fruition: the autumntide of wisdom and faith, the winter of memory, of tranquility. The spirit within us can in any season of life, rise Phoenixflike from the ashes of misfortune, to build a new, a greater kingdom of living. -Lorna Rusch. ,,,,-,,-,,..,- Anch01'a..,: I : : Z : I I I : I : I : :f: 23:22-C:-M 5 V 5 5 if 11:1 1:1 inzux 1 101 ini I ,N 3 Q3 E56 U f X592 I 1 X ,U .U ffm, MW 5 XSD o f 'L Q , QTiL,1f Y'1 Q,, '5-L' ii. ,, - .- v fffb, gl: 'J U1 UNICDRS ' LL 131, Ln 1 Qc ll Learning passes for wisdom among those who want both.4Temple .,..,..,-.-.,.....,- Anchora..,-.,-..- - K 1 ..-..-.,-..-,.- Anchora...:. :..: : : rs.: : .1 : :.:.:.:.:.:.:..:.:.:.:.:..

Though we're famous for our talking We're never at our lessons balking. In orchestra, glee club, and band We're the first of the land. In athletics we have sought renown With Bergin, Bateman, Slusser and Brown. Our class sponsor is Miss Riker. Who could help but like her? Our class officers, tho' mostly from the sticks Cannot be classed as country hicksf' With these few words we bid adieu To our Freshman year, and leave to you Who follow in the class of fortyfone, The good that we have sought and won. ABy Ruth Collar ning SOPHOMORE POEM Hail to the Sophomores of '37, Our class is seventyftwo in number, We are not perfect, we often blunder, We're like a car, loaded with good will, We're on our way to the junior hill. We really have no time to park, For the juniors say the trip's no lark. We enjoy our work, we enjoy our play, We truly enjoy our Sophomore day, If we study hard and make good time We'll be Seniors in '39 Now that's our goal-'as you can guess, EIGHTH GRADE POEM Here's to the eighth grade Of nineteen thirtyfseven In numbers we equal Thirtyffive, plus eleven. We began last September To think and remember. It was our ambition To be accurate in addition, To pay close attention So there would be no question But that we would have a start To do, in life, all of our part. Hail to the Sophs of M. H. S. -By Beverly jewett --By Constance C. Crowl SEVENTH GRADE POEM This is our first appearance, And so we think it right To introduce our students And our sponsor, Miss Knight. We do our work the best we can, Then we have our play, We never fail to get our work, And do it every day. We go out for every sport, And try to beat them all, Although we are quite short, And others are quite tall. This year is almost over, We're sorry to see it done, But our first year in junior High Has proved a successful one. -By Lucile Dean V' :,,:L:g..76ip7:,:u:.,:3.

ORCHE STRA Since 1930 our high school orchestra has increased from twelve to forty members, with the help of our most capable director, Mr. Wyman. Our orchestra has all the instruments with the exception of the oboe and bassoon. The orchestra has played for plays, assembly programs, and participated in the county festival held at Walter French junior high school in Lansing. With five other schools, we were directed under the leadership of Alexander Schuster of the Music Department at M. S. C. This year at graduation time we will lose five of our most capable musicians. They are Glenna Childs, our concert master, Frances Willis, also from the first violin section, Budd Zimmer and Vera Ward from the cello section, and Philip Williams from the brass section.

BAND Once again the Mason high school band has completed a very successful year, Late last year, with the help of some interested alumni and friends, we received forty new uniforms. These added much color and :est to our organization. During the summer the band played for open air concerts and for the annual Ingham county fair. We have taken part in two festivals. For the first one we traveled to Olivet, and for the second we played host to the other bands of Ingham county. We also plan to return to Holland again this year for the Tulip Festival. Graduation takes live of our members from us this year. However, many members in the second band are working hard to try and iill the vacancies. The members of the band are very grateful to Mr. Wyman and wish to thank him for his untiring efforts in making our band a success. President . . . . .Malcolm Petty Vice President . . .............

STUDENT COUNCIL On behalf of the student council and Mr. Walcott, our advisor, I wish to thank the members of the faculty, the student body, and all others outside of the school for the great interest they have taken in the activities of the school this year. Although we have not had any issues of very great importance we have tried to take care of those that we have had to the best of our ability. We have purchased a public address system and have given what we think is the most that the student body has ever received for that money that was paid us by the student body. To next years council and mayor we wish a most prosperous year and the full cooperation of everyone. -flvlayor Darrell Huntington xuiiiinxi-14, ..Anch01'a,.-.:.:..-...:..-. :..:.,: 2.2.2 :.:,:....:.,-..:.-.:.-- Top roxy, li-fl lo right C, Himi-l.

Septem- ber 18. at Szliu o'clock, to indulge in the annual All-High Boys Party. First a game of hot pants was played, then sides were chosen by captains selected from each grade by Coach Dawson with many contests following. Towards the end Indian wrestling proved a very exciting sport with Robert Bensinger prov- ing himself worthy of being called champ. Then refreshments con- sisting of milk and doughnuts were served by the committee. OCT. 2-GIR LS' PART! The all-girls party held Friday night proved to be a big success. Approximately 100 girls attended. The evening was spent in playing games and the relays seemed to be the most popular. The accompany- ing noise was almost too much for the game instructors and their whistles. Refreshments were served at 10:00 and shortly after this the evening of fun ended. The party was sponsored by Miss Knight. OCT. 2-CAST SELECTED Yesterday the cast for the senior play of 1936 was announced. The play selected this year is The Pan- ther's Claw, a mystery drama in three acts by Austin Goetz.

Norma Tremaine-Colleen Maddox Elaine Standish-Glenna Childs Jake McCard-Howard Oesterle Jerry Freeman-Philip Williams Hope Fenwick-Irene Huntington Olive DalwBetty Hamel Edith Dale-Doris Swift Tillie Lish-Betty Bergin Carl Blythe-Holbert Fuller TonyiAlvin Burgess OCT. 9-TEACHERS' PARTY The teachers held a party Tues- day night in the school. They ar- rived at 5:30 and were instructed to go to the kitchen and cook their own dinners. After a very merry din- ner, the group adjourned to the din- ing room where games were p'1yed. Miss Fletcher proved to be the cham- liion feather blower and Miss Blount was the champion in guessing frames. About 9:00 the party ad- journed tfo serenade Mr. and Mrs. Dawson fwith Mr. Walcott's shot- gunj. The party was concluded here with more refreshments com- pleting a very enjoyable evening. OCT. 16-BREAKFAST SERVED As a finish for the breakfast unit, the Eighth grade Home Economics class prepared and served a. break- fast yesterday noon. The girls were divided into family groups, one girl acting as host and another as hos- ess. DEC. 11-ST. JOHNS BEATEN Mason defeated St. Johns last Friday in a very low scoring game 14-13. Mason led all the way but a St. Johns rally nearly caused de- feat. The Maroons led at the half 11-4 and appeared to be headed for an easy victory. Ability to cash in on free throws won for the Maroons for they made only 3 field goals. Bullen and Zimmer led the scoring with 5 points apiece. Young was close behind with 3 free throws. Thi second team also won defeating the St. Johns second team 13-18. Petty led the scoring with S points. DEC. ISAAMATEUR HOUR An amateur hour is to be held this afternoon as the Christmas program. Auditions were held Tuesday after school in the dining room and the judges listened in the kitchen. There is sure to be a variety of talent: and there is to be a gong, so listen care- fully for it. Students will do their entertaining in Miss Lucas' room over the Public Address System and the students in the assembly room will decide the best amateur. JAN. 29-VACANCY FILLED The vacancy left by Miss Kumlcr will be filled by Miss Geraldine Van- Patten. She will teach vocal music and seventh grade history. Miss VanPatten has been teaching in North Adams, Michigan. FEB. 5-TEST HUMIDITY The Physics Class is putting on a humidity testing program testing' the three floors of the building for the amount of moisture needed. The tests have shown that the air in thc school building is far too dry, pos- sibly due to the steam heating plant. The relative humidity of the build- ing is about 45 per cent. The aver- age for the best results should be 65 per cent. FEB. 12-TO MEET TROJANS The Maroons travel to East Lau- sing tonight where they will meet the much improved Trojan team. The game will very likely decide which team is to finish in second place in the league standings. East Lansing has shown a great deal of improvement since they last played here but the Maroons have improved a lot themselves and are determined to defeat them again. FEB. 12-CHARLOTTE TAKEN Mason defeated Charlotte for thc first time in two years Friday night at Olivet 29-16. The Maroon zone defense was not as effective on Oli- vet's large Hoor but the Maroons' played good ball all the way. Mason outscored Charlotte from the floor. 12 Held goals to 6. Friday's victory over Charlotte gave Mason a tie with East Lansing for second place, each having lost 3. FEB. 12-FFA NEWS Thirty-four F. F.

SENIOR PLAY The Seniors chose for their annual play. The Panthers Claw, a mystery hy Austin Coet: and presented it to large and appreciative audiences on the evenings of Novemher 20 and 21.

The action of the entire play took place in an old stone house on a lonely estate in the Maine woods. The plot concerns three detectives who pose as a family and go to stay at the old haunted house in order to capture a hand of criminals who have their headquarters there. Much merriment and excitement is provided when a young man and four girls, returning from a party, stop at the old house for the night.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA On Gctober 31, 1936, the Mason troop of Boy Scouts was organized by prominent citizens of the city. The Boy Scout movement in Mason has been a history of successes and failures. There have been a number of troops started in the past several years, but for various reasons, the troops have failed to continue. The troop started out with fifteen members, but in the past months the membership has grown to thirtyfone Scouts. Mr. Gilson Pearsall, Scout Master, is assisted by Harold Parker. The patrol leaders are David Swearingen, Marvin Salisbury, Charles Henderson and Wesley' Parker. David Swearingen is also chief scribe and bugler. -,,,.,,-,,-,,-,,- Anchora...:..:..-..:..:..:.-..:..:.-..:..:..:.,-..-.,---..---- 4 I Top ruw, I1-fl tu light H. NYivp:rl111l1, IS. Ifivlfl, Y.

It is made up of boys who have won at least one letter in one of the three major sports: football, basketball or baseball or have received a letter for having man- aged one of these sports. We started the year with fourteen members and now it has grown to twentyffour members, The new members, including letter winners from the baseball team last year are: DeRose, Heincelman, Richards, bl. Young, MacDonald, Hadwin, Fancher, Zim' mer, B. Palmer, Petty and Willianis. B. Palmer, Petty and Vsfilliams won their letters as managers in the past years. This year the M Club sold M pins and candy to earn money to buy warmfup jackets for the basketball team. Under Coach Dawson, the M club has grown to be one of the most popular organ- izations in the school. During the year we had initiations and parties that were enjoyed by all.

FOOTBALL Although on the scoring end we cannot laoast a very successful season. the hoys were out there righting every minute. We heat St. johns. Howell and Lansing Central Reserves and we also gained thc distinction of lacing the first conference team to cross East Lansing's goal in four years. The Grand Ledge game showed the spirit of the hoys well. It was a hard fought game all the way. Vw'e lost 7 to 6 hut we made 14 first downs to their one with hoth teams presenting a determined defense when their goals were threatened. When the All State teams were picked. Captain Huntington and Paul Young were named for honoralale mention. Captain Huntington played the Hocking half-hack and did some of the passing, Young played end and did most of the scoring on passes from Bullen. He also did all the kicking. At the end of the season Sheriif MacDonald gave a banquet for us. Mr. Casteel. hacktield coach of Michigan State. gave a talk and showed us pictures of the Univerf sityfState game. Also a representative of the conservation department gave us a talk and showed us pictures of the work of that department on Isle Royal. This year we lose by graduation Captain Huntington, Bullen, Young. lvIacDonald. Haclwin and lvlcliwen. There will he nine lettcrmen hack next year and plenty of strong reserve strength. We wish Coach Dawson and next year's team lots of luck and look for them to have a championship team. l :..:.,...:.-..:..:.-..:..: : .Z .: .:..:.-.:..:.....,:..:.:.- Anchora..- ...-..- Top row. left to right-R.

We tied East Lansing for second place with six victories and four defeats. We beat Howell and Grand Ledge twice and Charlotte and East Lansing once in the conference. We lost two games to Eaton Rapids and one each to East Lansing and Charlotte. Over the entire schedule we won nine and lost seveng defeating in nonfconference games, St. johns and Vocational and losing to the Alumni and St. Marys In the district tournament we beat Grand Ledge in the lirst game and lost to East Lansing in the linals. Both times that we played Eaton Rapids they beat us by two points in the last minutes of tlpe games. In the first game it was close all the way with Eaton Rapids making the winning points in the last seconds of the game. In the second game with them, we led by four points with a few minutes left to play. In tliose few minutes Doud, an Eaton Rapids guard, fired three times at the basket from the middle of the floor and all three shots went through the basket. In the Charlotte game we led all through the game until the last quarter. In the East Lansing game the score was tied at the end of the Hrst half but in the second half we didn't make a field Goal. C' Bullen led the scoring with S9 points. Zimmer, DeRose, Young, Huntington and Dietrick followed close behind. Saelens made 21 points in the live games that he played. He was out most of the season because of sickness. We made 339 points for an average of a little better than Z1 points per game. Our opponents made 332 points. This year we lose through graduation Captain Young, Bullen, Zimmer, Huntington and Petty. We look for Mason to have an even better team next year, Four letter men and plenty of strong reserve strength will return next year for Coach Dawson to build a team of champions. We wish Coach Dawson and next year's team a very successful season. ,p,, .gf . . H! I 3 ff'- , T . . 5 I . - -1 :lf hz:- l K , . . 4 I v' 4 ,N I5 , . H 1 '2 W,-.

BASEBALL Little is known of the Maroons as yet because rain made playing impossible up t-J the time the Anchora went to press. Only two or three practice sessions have been held. Coach Dawson arranged a fourfinning game for practice between a team of all high school players and one made up of alumni and high school players. The game ended 6f6. From what has been seen Mason should have a pretty good team this year. Corbin and Underwood look good in the box. Irish has a fast ball. For catchers, Dietrich and Saelens appear to have the edge. DeRose is a likely first baseman. Bullen will probably play second with Heincelman at short and Brown at third. Underwood or Corbin may play third when not pitching. In the outtield we have Silsby, Young, Richards and Lee. Irish will probably play outfield when not pitching.

Fourteen of the girls went to Michigan State college for a play day. This is an annual event for quite a few schools near M. S. C. A first and second team were selected to play with the Everett school in Lansing. Two games were also played with the county normal. The Mason girls won all the games. -.........,-.,- Anch01'a..,:..: : : : : : : : : I -.-.: :...-.:.-.-..-,.- I-lumor Take all the pleasures of the spheres, Arid multiply each through the endless years- One minute of laughter is worth them all.

Ercella Thompson, Alumni Editor To the class of 1937: ln behalf of the class of 1901 1 wish to extend greetings and hearty congratulations to the members of your class. As a teacher in the Mason school, 1 have watched with keen interest, your progress through school. Now as you reluctantly leave the past and turn hopefully toward the future, may success and happiness attend you. May you always have an honorable and manly ambition of which you and your associates may well be proud. Act well your part, there all the glory lies. The class of A111 welcome you as alumni of M. H. S. 'Minnie E. Severance. Greetings to the class of 1937. Looking back over the years brings to mind june 22, 1877, when a class of six members, one boy and five girls, graduated from Mason high school. Since that date the school has advanced with the years from what we considered one of the best, to one of higher standards of educational achievement of today. and to be alumnus of which is an honor one may be justly proud of. As you leave Mason High our best wishes go with you, and may you send greetings to the class of 1977. Sincerely, Mrs. bl. P. Smith. Class of 1937: Congratulations! We of '24 join in welcoming you as fellow alumni. Our collective wish is that the future will bring you happiness and success. Sincerely, William Alden Call U92-U Dear Graduates: As a member of the class of 1929 I am extending in their behalf best wishes for your success in the vocations you choose upon graduation with the class of 1937. You will find, as we did, that life can be compared to the work of an airplane pilot. That is, that now you have only taken a test flight and that most of your learning will be acquired from the experience that you get from the flights that are made in the future. NVhether you have smooth sailing or come down with a crash will depend large' ly upon your ability to profit from your experiences. May you always have smooth sailing. Yours truly, Helen Lamont Robison. - -, ---- . ----- -.- : -.. ..-.-. :.,- Anch01'a-.-,-..-.- What IQ36 Grads Bailey, Cleo+L. B. U. Bateman, Dorr-Sinclair Oil Station Benjamin.
