l Qmuuzxl Fla.-ack inet The Annual Lenawee County Tram-lc Meet was held at Adrian Fair Grounds May 22. The meet was started at 8 o'clock, which made most of the boys get up before their usual time. but all of the team succeeded in getting their clothes changed in time for the first event, which was the 100, yard dash, in which Alan Morningstar placed second. The next event was the discus throw, where we got a second by Granger throwing it 96 feet, 5 inches. In the high hurdles Gillen placed second. The mile run was an exciting -race, with Howe of Tecumseh leading Griffith by only a distance of a few feet. This made another second for Morenci. We succeeded in getting another second when Morningstar was beaten by about a foot in the 220 yard dash. Griffith showed his ability in the half mile by winning over Howe by a number of yards. In the high jump six of the contestants tied for third, which gave us one-third of a point, Granger and Ferguson succeeded in being in the tie. ln the low hurdles Gillen succeeded in winning first place, which was run in two groups and against time. The relay was the last of the events in which the M0- renci team lost by only a few feet. Gillen, Kenwood Morn- ingstar. Griffith and Alan Morningstar were the members of the Morenci relay team. Throughout the morning it was a struggle for first place between Morenci and Tecumseh, the latter forging ahead when one of their men tied for second place in the pole vault. This gave Tecumseh a total of 31 1-6 points to 3IOI'61ll'i?S 15 1 With the relay, the remaining event, Mo- renci gave up hopes of the meet. It was an ideal day for the meet. but the track was sandy, which made it hard for the contestants who were used to a cinder track.

7 acultu D So you ask me to describe them- All the faculty so blameless And I name them, hesitating, Fearful something wrong to utter, Someone's ire to bring upon me. There's Mr. Heise who sits in judgment On the acts of wayward pupils, Whetstone, friendly, fair, but fussy Calls assembly oft to orderg ' M. E. Schornherst, the mighty, Wielding hammer, saw, or chisel, Our B. Phelps, oft heard exclaiming 'f0h! an item for my paper! A. B. Twiss, great story teller, Never lacking illustrationg Mrs. Nelson, tireless zeal expending On her paint brush or baton, Mrs. Wilson, growing desperate Over Seventh graders English, Senior's French and Latin troubles: Patterson, teaching future housewives To live cheaply, sanely, and completelyg Hesrick, our athletic coach, so busy, Hear him call in accents anxious, Oh, where's Boot ! Miss Hanson, chinking in the corners, Seems to fit wherever needed- And that's all-excepting Smith- We'l1 admit they've some shortcomings, But on the whole, an average group, And if tested on good nature, helpfulness or friendly spirit They would rate perhaps as highly As any we have met with previous Or may chant-e to take their places. GDM Snhnnl Surrounded hy beautiful grounds, it stands, Amid the maples so stately and grand, On the lawn. Whose graceful houghs and waving leaves, Are catching the dew which falls in the eve, ' And in the dawn. , Our school is of brick and Within its walls, Are many long and narrow halls, And many a room. Through which the classes pass all day, And work the Weary hours away. Till afternoon. In illustrious people our school will QXCQI, When they will be famous nobody can tell, Nobody can tell. Among those whom I would like to mention, Are many who would command your attention. You know them Well. But I, won't mention any, for I think it best, Not to mention a few, and slight all the rest, It's better that way. So you'll have to imagine that all of ns here, Are destined to be famous at some future' year. tWhen we're old and grayj R.F Whetstone wrote on the back of Joe Gillen's Phy sits paper- Please write more legiblyn and the next morning Joe took his paper to Whetstone and asked what It --Anon. sa1d'?'!'!
