His world- wide fame as an author has placed him high among the illustrious alumni of Owosso High School. The chateau, where much of Mr. Curwood's writing was done, is pic- turesquely situated on the banks of the Shiawassee,symbol of the author's love for his native city. Speaking of Owosso, he once said, I think it is the nicest place in the world. I was born there and I hope to die there. ' Mr. Curwood's notable career was cut short by his untimely death in 1927. fm 2-Xhmininiratinn Fred G. Ward W. E. Zimmerman A. E. Osmer Page Sixteen Mrs. H. Manahan President Enarh nf Ehuraiinn Back of every educational system which functions for the benefit of the public lies a guiding and plan- ning force: The Board of Education. The erection of a new high school, together with the enlarging of the athletic facilities, has added extra burdens and special duties to the work of the Owosso School Board. The members of the Board have worked with keen interest and untiring efforts in order to give Owosso an up-to-date educational school system of which all may be proud. To them should go the credit for the many accomplishments which have been gained in the public school system during the past few years. W. H. Van Sice Fred Randolph Zelma Byerly Emma Lawrence Secretary Financial Clerk Svuperintvnhrnt Although the High School is largely guided and controlled by the School Board, the Superintendent is the one who applies and enforces the orders as planned by the Board. Mr. Willman's work lies largely in the field of investigating school adminis- tration problems as handled in other schools, receiv- ing' teachers' applications, and with the help of the financial clerk, to sponsor the financing' of the whole city school system. To the Superintendent and his assistants is due the credit for the high standard which has been created in Owosso. Superintendent at his desk Mr. Fl, J. Willman, A. M.

Principal Miss Noonon's Desk lgrtnrrpal The problems that confront the principal of a high school are numerous, and sometimes more scr- ious than we realize. Owosso has been Very fortunate for the past four years in having one who has met these administra- tive problems and successfully managed them. He has tried to instill in the minds of the students the correct way that a high school should conduct itself and has done more than anyone else to bring' this school up from a low average to one of high stand- ards, in both moral and scholastic phases. To the principal's assistant, Miss Noonon, the High School stenographcr, is due much credit for the work accomplished in this department of school administration.

Democracy, History History Economics, Civics Page Twenty Adrian :le Boom History and Law Svnrial Svrivnrva It is recognized that the teaching of the social sciences is a dii'Hcult task. This is due Q15 to con- stant changes and adjustments in these fields, and Q25 a scientific age like ours has frequently shown an indifference for the study of past and present governments of social conditions. Yet, there are no other subjects of more vital importance to our nation. profession or life's activity one may enter upon the A lawyer, doctor, teacher, busines man, or whatever government promotes, through beneficial legislation, all activities. Wherever one may travel the govern- ment is looked to for protection. The citizens of America are the government. It is a democracy. To maintain it requires that all people must intelli- gently practice democracy. Hazel B raddock, A. B. Law Class English i Allen Montgomery. Biology Laboratory Chester Huupt A. B. General Science Biology Srienre Evparinnvnt Science explains our surroundings. The High School Science Department seeks to do this thru the four courses which it offers. General Science is exploratory and introduces the student to the general field of science. Biology explains our contacts with the plant and animal world, and gives us an appreciation of the importance of the living things we meet each day. Chemistry and Physics are studies of the theories and applications which make possible the manufac- ture and use of practically all our present day necessities and luxuries.

Commercial Qlnmmrrrial Evpartmvnt There are thrcc teachers in the commercial depart- ment: Mrs. Marie Weatherby, Miss Frances Goodcs, and Mr. Lawrence Alto, who came during the second semester to till the vacancy left by Mr. George Men- kee. Courses are offered in typing, stenography, bookkeeping, commercial law, commercial geography, junior training, and commercial arithmetic. The majority of the students in this department take a complete commercial course which includes these subjects and certain required academic subjects. Most of them do not plan to go to college, but expect to enter oiiice positions on graduation from high school. This department sends representatives each year to the district and state shorthand and typing contests held at St. Johns and Kalamazoo. There are about three hundred and fifty students enrolled in the commercial department. Bookkeeping Room LaVerna Bowen, A. B. Miss Zinn's Class Treva Zinn, A. B. Algebra Algebra illlathrmaiira In order to assist in the bringing about a fuller appreciation and a clever understanding of life and the progress of civilization, we seek, in the Mathe- matics Course offered, to develop in the individual those essential powers of understanding and analysis of space and quantity relationshipsg to aid the ac- quiring of skill of using the results of analysis to draw valid conclusionsg and finally, to foster those habits of thinking that will enable the above attain- ments to become effective in the life of the student.

Foods suitable for a breakfast such as fruit, cereals, hot breads, and hot drinks were prepared. The class was divided into family groups, and each family in turn planned a breakfast which was to them by the others. Then foods suit- able for luncheons and dinners were prepared. These meals were planned and served just as the breakfasts had been. The sewing classes have made great progress along lines of home economics. Besides the study of fibers, and the making of articles and garments, they entered several contests. There was a contest for dressing dolls for which three prizes were given. Cafeteria X 'Ns. Tot A Field Trip Ag1'iru1tn1'nl Evpartmvni Agriculture is one of our basic industries. It is also our largest industry, comprising one-twelfth of our national resources. The tillers of the soil to- gether with all the related industries have gone far in building a moral fiber and a staunch resource- fullness into our community, state, and nation. Agriculture is both a science and an art, and as such is taught in the Owosso High School under the Smith Hughes Law. The agricultural course consists of four years work in study, laboratory, and field practice. Judging teams are sent to state contests annually. Agricultural Room Viriril 0. Braun, Agriculture li, S.

The main purpose of this course is to train the student in the fundamentals of the graphic language. The ability to use trianglesg T square and scaleg to distinguish between visible and hidden edgesg necessity of show- ing three views of an objectg use of inking pensg inking lines in proper orderg using tracing paper and making blue prints and ability to read blue printsg and make free hand sketches in correct proportion, are a few of the fundamentals taught in this course. In the General Art course offered we strive to de- velop finer tastes in the buyers of the future. Art Machine Shop I . Harold Plichta Work Shop Manual Arts education should be carried on not only for the sake of art, but to make American education complete by developing the Whole personality of every individual. We buy art, not only the silk fabrics and jewelry that catch the eye of those who pass, but also paint- ing, sculpture and architecture with very little if any intelligence about the subject. Since the High School students are to be consum- ers of the future, it should be the aim of art educa- tion to give those students some intelligent back- ground for meeting the problems they are surely to encounter. We strive to develop finer tastes in order that buyers of the future will be able to purchase products of the various trades to a better advantage. Printing' Shop Joel W.

English, Dean of Girls Englinh Evpartmvnt Because of the fact that every pupil is required to take three years of English, this department is the largest in the school with five full time and one part time teacher. In the first two years emphasis is laid upon functional grammar, punctuation, oral English, and composition. The third year is devoted to the study of English literature, and in the fourth year two courses are offered. The first is a semester of American literature. The second is a review of rhetoric which is of special value to those students who expect to go to college. The English depart- ment also sponsors the annual oratorical and declam- atory contests.

Latin Latin language Brpartinrni The Language Department strives to promote bet- ter self-expression. Words are more realistic when the root meaning can be felt in them. Since approx- imately sixty percent of our English words have a Latin origin, there is ample opportunity for this feeling for a word, this sentence and language sense which precision of thought demands. In French, the opportunity to study the life and culture of a foreign nation furnishes ample incentive for mastering the subject. To develop an apprecia- tion for another and older civilization, to study their ways and their meaning, offers abundant oppor- tunity to cultivate the Uinternational mind. French Class Estelle H, Schipper, A.M. French, Latin l l'mze Twenty-Nine i Page Thirty Barbara Deuel Physical Education Furl Brooks Athletics Armory Elghgaiml iihuratinn The purpose of Physical Education is to provide students with an opportunity to develop the physi- cal side of life. But while strength of body and fleet- ness of foot are admirable traits in anyone, the aim of modern physical education now includes mental stimulation and character training. The former shows itself in the cultivation of such habits as lzeenness of perception, directness of thought, and correctness of judgement. The latter promotes such attitudes as modesty in the winner, resolve in the loser, self control in the strong, and courage in the timid. The facilities for physical education in Owosso High School have in the past been both inconveni- ent and meagre. But the future holds forth great hope. VVith a Wonderful new high school, including a fine gymnasium now at hand, the opportunity for a real program in physical training is now assured. Gymnasium Agricultural Double Quartette uzir 4 Ppartmvnt The music department has shown some progress in all the organizations. The most noticeable progress has been in the Boys' Double Quartette. The boys have made several public appearances and have left a very good impres- sion in the minds of both students and public. They have studied mzmy difficult selections and entered the state contest in Mt. Pleasant. The band has made some progress although they did not put on a concert or enter the contest. They made several public appearances, however.

The event was as usual most en- old friends renewing acquaintanceship, and joyable, new teachers being welcomed into the teaching force of Owosso. After the supper, the club proceeded to election of officers. Wendell Herron was made pres- ident, Harold Plichta, vice-president, and Nina M. Howard, secretary and treasurer. In February the Club united with the P. T. A.'s of the city in bringing before the people of Owosso, Professor Brumm of the University of Michigan, whose inspiring address was so well received.

As Seniors of the Class of '29, we feel joyously proud that we, like grains in the hour glass, have made every day count towards a definite end. Our first officers were: Wayne Huber, presidentg Estella Jilson, vice-president, Ken- neth Elliott, treasurer, and Juanita Loynes, secretary. At the beginning ofthe second semester, the officers elected were as follows: Arthur Wendt, Presidentg Virginia Friegel, Vice-President, Hugh Hicks, Treasurer. We chose Miss Schipper to be our advisor. Our colors were lavender and whiteg our Howcr, the white rose, and our motto, Facta Non Verba . When we became sophomores, we intended to make our work count more than ever. We elected Howard Doran, President, Janet Driscoll, Vice-President, Luke Murray, Treasurerg Eleanor Douglas, Secretary. On the resignation of Howard Doran we elect- ed Leonard Glander, President. The following fall we entered as juniors. Our officers for the year were Hugh Hicks, Presidentg Helen Orth, Vice-Presidentg Leonard Glanders, Treasurerg Maxine Rust, Secretary. Mr. Trythall was chosen to be our advisor. We held many all class parties and we also ordered our class rings which will be standard from henceforth. All our interest from then on was concentrated on the Junior Play, White Collars . Miss Margaret Lord helped to make it a great success. Virginia Friegel and Kenneth Campbell taking the leading roles made it the talk of the year. June came and we began making preparations for the Senior-Junior banquet. Di- rected by Mr. Trythall we quite transformed the place into a spring garden, and our guests seemed quite delighted. We now had one more year,-the one that would stand out in golden letters in our history. Our ofiicers were Charles Wilkins, Presidentg Ellen Allmandinger, Vice-Presi- dentg Ruth Loomis, Secretaryg Kenneth Clark, Treasurerg and we elected Mr. Cournyer as class advisor. So This Is London was staged at the Capitol Theatre under the capable direction of Miss Grace Renwick. Jane Rayen and Howard Coy played the leads but it remained for Jack Ellis and Ed Hahn to provoke the mirth for the evening. After months of hard work an assembly was called March 5 to convince the students that they should own one of the 1929 Spics . During the year we held several class parties including a pre-Prom party but the crowning event overshadowed them all. The Senior Prom has become a tradition in the Owosso High School and is the most elaborate socal event of the year. The Armory was cleverly converted into a scene of beauty simulating a Dutch village. As the Class of '29, we are the last Seniors to attend this high school building. So on April 19 we had the honor of being present at the laying of the corner stone of the new high school. It has all seemed too swift, as if lasting but the hour, yet it has been filled with so many priceless experiences that we cannot feel sorry, for now we have something even bigger to look forward to-our future. Thus, as we leave, we wish the greatest of success to all the classes to come and will hold always in our hearts the motto: Facta Non Verba . -Jane Rayen. Page Fifty Three Halehirtnrg Friends and Classmates: We, the Senior class of 1929, are participating in one of the greatest events of our lives at this, our graduation time. It is a significant occasion for us. It marks the attainment of a goal long visioned and long anticipated. This Commence- ment is our reward at the close of four years of . effort-a four years in which work and play have Arlene Post been so combined as to make them the most enjoy- able years we have ever experienced. Now that this momentous epoch of our lives is fast drawing to a close, we can take the time to look back over our high school days and see just how much we have progressed and accomplished. We have not been instructed merely in the fundamentals of learning. Our education has been so much more complete than this. We have been taught the fundamentals of character, honor, truth-all things enduring and worth while. During these last few years our characters have been in the building. Now at the close of this formative period of our lives they are fairly well established, so that what we are today determines largely what we shall be tomorrow. Looking toward the future we experience a slight feeling of apprehen- sion at what life may hold in store for us. The place that We have now reached is one of such great importance-so much depends upon our de- cisions made at this time. In the past the way has been smooth, and well defined. Loving hands have guided and directed us over the rougher spots. But now-now we must depend upon our own resources, we must choose our own path now that we have reached the crossroads and choose it carefully and thoughtfully. Even the most inviting-looking way will have its rough uncharted spots where no guiding hand will direct us. But it is just at these difficult places that the training of the past four years will help us and make it possible for us to overcome them. And so, now that we have reached that place in our lives where our paths diverge, where each shall pursue his own individual goal, and the time has come to bid farewell to one another, we can do so, although regretful of the parting, with high hopes for the future, knowing as We do, that his can be none but success who follows his chosen path with courage, deter- mination, high ideals, and hope springing eternal in his heart. Pag Fifty-Four Smluiainrg I Classmates and Friends: This occasion that we are celebrating here to- day is the greatest event in our four years of high school life. Let me bid you welcome, parents, teachers, and friends, to help us celebrate the day which means so much to us. During these four years, we have climbed step by step until now we stand triumphantly upon the l summit. The path thus far has not been a diffi- cult one, thanks to our parents, teachers, and Annabelle ward loyal friends. When by chance we came to some curve, or hesitated be- cause we were too weary to climb further, our parents gently urged us onward and we were constantly backed by our teachers. We have reached the first stepping stone in our journey of life and now we stand with packs fastened upon our backs, eager, hopeful, yet fearful to venture further. We look and what do we see? Sharp stones, a thorny untraveled path meets our eyes, and on our way lies the Slough of De- spond, and appollyon must be overcome. This time we must travel alone unaided by our parents and teachers whom we can never repay for what they have done for us. Although there is some sorrow in our hearts today as we gather here within this building for the last time, and the thoughts of parting with our friends H11 us with pangs of regret, yet as we journey onward We shall carry away with us pleasant memories of the days spent in this old high school and we shall treasure them in our hearts. During these four years we have been building character and We have tried to build a character that will withstand the hard knocks and sorrows of life. As we turn to wave farewell to our friends, with the true spirit of the Blue and Gold, let us courageously go forward, and as we struggle along that hard, uneven path, let us remember that: No race is over, till the last yard's run, No game is ever lost-until its won, A fire is never dead while the ashes are still red, Nor the sunset in the skies until the day is done. Again I welcome you in behalf of the Class of 1929 and invite you to join with us in celebrating this day. i Page Fifty F Gllafm lgrnphrrg By Donald W. Hart Imagine my surprise when, in the Public Library on June 4, 1940, I glanced at a New York paper fedited, by the way, by Virginia Wietzkel, and looked in the book review column which was being conducted by Filbert Hartshorn, to see that my latest mystery story, Who Stole the Elephant's Peanuts ? , was being considered as a good story to turn into a photoplay. I was, previous to this moment, engrossed in the book I had taken from the science shelf. It was written by that eminent scientist, Kenneth Clark, and in it he endeavored to prove the startling theory that silence is the death of conversation. When the book was finished, I laid it aside, con- vinced that Clark and Einstein were both pretty good scientists. The idea that only twelve men in the world, by the way, can understand Einstein's theory is no longer grounded. Charles Wilkins made it thirteen. There was a lot of news in that paper, especially in the society column. In the first place Leonard Glanders and Eleanor Parker had copped a cup for being the best dancers in the country and had been awarded a place in Arnold Saska's Follies. A little farther down in the column Belva Day married Willy Knight, and they were going honey-spooning in a specially made Coy ilivver. I got down to where the two Coy brothers, Ed and Bob, had eloped with the Spiess twins when I was interrupted by an Eastern Onion boy and was handed an envelope on which I noticed the manager's name. It was Eugene Bonsor, manager of the telegraph company, I mean. The note was from Hollywood from the noted picture producers, Milton Kaufman and Dale I-Iaughton, directing me to come to their offices immedi- ately to sign a contract giving them sole rights to my story. Always obedi- ent to the whims of the great, I hired a plane from the Silverman Flying Field, and with Hugh Hicks as the capable pilot, we struck out for the city of dreams. In the office of the producers I met again the greatest picture director of all times, William May. Together, in our high school days, we had built dreams of the future. And now he had started a company to produce pic- tures for Kaufman and Haughton. He featured the great actors, Virginia Friegel, who was the principal reason for Greta Garbo's departure for Europe, and Ralph Dickie. These two were supported by and able cast. They were Kenneth Campbell, Zona Amos, Joe Patrick, Helen Orth, Oreno Osborn, Charles Parvin, Betty Finch, and Don Link. Jack Ellis, who was the proprietor of his father-in-law's big clothing store, was selected to get the materials for the wardrobe. Murlin Dynes and Eleanor Douglas were employed as desiners. Earl Campbell was to furnish the jewels for the heroines. Frank Warren was to paint all the scenery with the help of Ruth Van Pelt and Albertine Wilcox. The picture was to be a talkie and soundie and the musical score fcalled the squeakiej was to be rendered by Earl Skinner and his orchestra. Earl had always been an ardent admirer of Susan-pardon my typewriter, it meant Sousa-and had made his way to the top of the musical world. His orchestra consisted of Harold Phillips, Clifford Mallery, A. J. Kline, Kenneth Jackson, and Alex Dreuth, with vocal score rendered by Lyle P g F fty-Six Hodges, when a song was required, and Charles Williams, when music was required. Doubles and understudies were Jewel Benham, Dorothy Kline, Rita Miller, Alice Mead, Robert Watts, and Arthur Wendt. Well, the picture was completed and started on its tour of the cities. Aside from its lack of box-office receipts, talent, and capable direction, it turned out to be a big success-more big than success. Anyway, it was shown in the famous Hersher-Hilgendorf chain of theatres to a select group of notables. There was Leora Martin, the famous actress who played in Karl Josenhans' Drugged Nights. There was Basil Tunnacliff who made a fortune proposing to a girl. It seems he got on his knees to propose to her and she threw him a roll of bills, saying it was amusement tax, or some- thing like that. And then, of course, there was Lois Kirn and Ruth Hoshield who started in the fox fur business. They became discouraged and quit when they found that skinning a fox more than three times for his fur might cause the animal to become distempered and bite. And we mustn't forget Agnes and Dora Noonon who made the discovery that if all the cigarette boxes used by students in one year were piled one on top ot the other they would soon fall over. When the show ended that first night-all shows end sometime-I passed out of the theatre and crashed headlong into Kenneth Walker. He, by the way, is director of famous correspondence school. One of its favor- ite advertisements runs something like this: Learn swimming by corres- pondence at home in your own bath tub. He introduced me to his companion, Russell Reed who is the husband of Annabelle Ward. Of course you remember Annabelle who won a beautiful cup for having an all A average in the old high school days, but later gave it away because her husband was using it for other than display pur- poses. Warren Britten has developed into quite a writer since I saw him last. In fact he Wrote all the menus for the Sugar Bowl and Cream Pitcher. He invited me to a restaurant where we proceeded to talk over things. We didn't talk over many things, though, because there was nothing but a bare table before us. It was a swell restaurant. Too swell, I thought. You even had to have an extra swell in your pocket book to look at their menu. It was one of those dainty places where they fill the tea cups with eye droppers and can serve you a one dollar dinner on the sharp end of a tooth pick. I found out that Laverna Nelson and Elizabeth Smithgall were the proprietors. Thelma and Margaret Herndon were the waitresses who brought out graham cookies and milk to us, and when William Morency and his orches- tra started their night disturbance with Evelyn Wallace as the featured dancer in Arabian custom, it made you feel that after all there really was no place like home. Don Hughes and Patty Hume ambled in and took seats a little ways from us. Warren told me that these two new-comers were formerly singers in Vaudeville, but since tune came in style they had been out of a job. He told me, also, that women had recently taken their places in industry. Dorothea Snider and Arlene Post were creators of the world's cheapest automobiles. They even had nickle radiators. Page Fifty S Well, the Class of Twenty-nine is not without its great men. While we sat peacefully there at the table Clarence Van Brocklin, all agitated and excited, came over to our table and spoke to us. I've just found out that I've been elected President , he said. Of what? , Warren asked him. Oh, I haven't found out yet , was the reply. Frances and Charlena Beebe and Mildred Baker are all instructors in the gentle art of toe-scraping, which someone has misnamed dancing. Wayne Colby and LeValley Brockway operate the Banquet Hot Dag stand. It's really pot-luck, though, because you have to bring something in order to eat-at least a dime. These four girls: Rose Sasek, Jane Rayen, Jeanette Pillans, and Margaret Pearce, are hostesses in Maxine Rust's night club. Louise Orser is part owner of the Sunshine Raincoat Co. Josephine Millis is the other part. Phoebe Manhart is a fervent lecturer in the movement to prohibit woman sufferage. She thinks they suffer enough now without a law to encourage it. Nelson Babcock has invented a new kind of cleat for mosquito's feet, so they can scratch the swellings they leave when they sting. Irene Helt is the world's busiest woman. She is busy now trying to find time to rest. Florence Sutter has invented a new way to sign checks. Her method consists of three steps: Q15 Take name. C23 Place check directly under name. C32 Press name firmly down on check. Celia Hanna has invented a good shock absorber for dollar watches. Ralph Schuster follows the medical profession-he's an undertaker. Robert Scofield and Howard Shanafelt are in a very dead business. They, also, are undertakers. Charles Guernsey has asked the question: When a fellow takes a girl to the theatre, to dinner, to dance, and uses a taxi to take her home, should he kiss her ? Norman Maurer answers him: No. By that time he has done enough for her. Helen Jones, Dorothy Hayes, Phoebe Harrison, Muriel Green, Lucille Johnson and Grace Giffei have organized an anti-humane society. The two things wrong with humanity, they claim, are men and women. Eleanor Lahman, Ruth Loomis, Eloise Dimmick and J aunita Loynes are all women barbers. Shaving is absolutely painless or whiskers cheerfully refunded. Good price for moustaches with a Spanish twist. Maxine McIntyre is running a taxi service for boys only. Lillian Shapiro is her chief assistant. Lloyd Walker is a famous economist. When a tramp asked if he might cut the grass for a meal, Mr. Walker politely told him he could eat it right off the ground if he wished. Helen Cardwell says the best way to grow tall is to drink milk. Vera Sutton asks, How about condensed milk ? Jeanette Driscoll and Jeanette Detwiler, Mary Louise and Muriel Cook, have organized a society for the promotion of bachelors' interests. fGlad someone is interested enough to see that bachelors are treated rightj. Ona Potter and Margaret Ward own a trust company. They sell things on credit, then trust to luck. Howard Doran, the sensational physicist, has been endeavoring to prove that nothing is the total absence of something. Extra! Extra!

Of course to be a class at all, we had to have officers, so according to customs, they were duly elected. They were: President, Kenneth Campbellg Vice-presi- dent, Phoebe Harrison, Secretary, Leora Marting and Treasurer, Mike Mansor. All classes have to be labeled as to colors and so forth, so at our next meeting we chose blue and white for our colors, and the sweet-pea as our flower, and after a long discussion, decided that our motto should be, Always Ready. Our only social event for that year was a hard time party. We felt much more at home as Sophomores and on our own initiative held a meeting to elect class officers. The meeting itself was nothing unus- ual but the following turned out to be very efficient. Chester Green, Pres- identg Hugh Stuart, Vice-presidentg Thelma Glander, Secretary, and Doro- thy Goodrich, Treasurer. We were very busy people and the year was packed full of so many things to do that it seemed June before we could get our breath. It was hard to get started in the fall, but once on our way we certainly generated pep. We held our first class meeting September 23, and elected Gordon Van Pelt, President, Robert Cook, Vice-president, Rhea Crandall, Secretary, Vivian Reed, Treasurerg and Mr. Haupt as our advisor. We certainly felt so sophisticated as Juniors and were ready for an eventful and joyous year. But first of all a class has to have finances to progress so we organized to campaign for dues. We soon became anxious to identify ourselves, so November 7, we called a meeting to order our class rings. This is a big event for a Junior for it is then that he becomes ranked as an upper classman and that sounds so grown-up. After exams we drew another breath and began to look forward to events in the second semester which was one ever to be remembered. At the be- ginning of March, we were all very excited. Why shouldn't we be Weren't we going to try out for our Junior play? Why we were even tickled to death because the Seniors were so interested in it and seemed to look on enviously. For days we frantically watched the bulletin board for the results. And then the day came! The parts fitted perfectly. The cast worked long and hard under the able direction of Miss Renwick, and on May 15 Tilly of Bloomsbury was presented at the Capitol. Doro- thy Goodrich and Hugh Stewart took the leads beautifully and the play was a great success. Another point for the Juniors. The crowning event of the year took place in June! The annual Junior- Senior Banquet. It was cleverly worked out, and we did our best to give our guests a royal send-oi. y-Four Snphnlnnrrz Page Sixty-Six Duane Beebe Josephine Cooper Geraldine Ferris Lawrence Sny r Suphnmnrr Gilman Duane Beebe - - President Josephine Cooper - Secretary Geraldine Ferris - Treasurer Lawrence Snyder Vice-President CLASS MOTTO Loyal to Duty CLASS COLOR Old Rose and Gray CLASS FLOWER Sweet Pea Svnphnxnnrv lllnnnr Emil A GRADE Bert Fillmore Jeanette Green Barbara Gene Owens Harriet Spiess Lucille Tillotson Frances McIntyre Margaret Shadbolt Jane Parker A AND B GRADE Marguerite Dean Carmen Law LeMae Royce Alvin Rudow Margaret Shadbolt Marion Shepard Helen Sherman Thedabelle Sutton Frank Vaydik Kathleen Driscoll Jean Friegel Clarence Gates Laura J.

It gave us quite a thrill to come up in the assembly room and know that some day our names would be engraved on the desks in the rear of the assembly room. We did not do anything as a class until someone hinted that it was the accustomed thing to elect class oflicers. Our meeting was held November 14, 1927, and we were taken care of by Miss Tubbs. The election results proved very satisfying and with our worthy President, William Seegmillerg Vice President, Max Wright, Treasurer, Mildred Loomis, and Secretary, Marjorie Young, we expected to do great things as Freshmen. They did not have a chance to exercise their office until December 6, when our second class meeting was held and Miss Bussy was unanimously chosen our advisor. Later we chose our class colors as old rose and gray and our motto, Loyal to Duty . Miss Bussy thought we were not experienced enough to throw a big all-call party, so we were exclusive and held strictly a class party. The teachers kept us busy with nine hours until June. When September rolled around we could lord it over the Freshmen and felt very important to be able to take part in initiating them into the ways of the high school. We intended to make this a very busy year so that the name Sophomore would appear in the limelight. Hence, we started with a class meeting September 16 to elect officers. The election returns were: President, Duane Beebeg Vice President, Lawrence Snider, Theasurer, Geraldine Ferris, and Secretary, Josephine Cooper, and it was with these ofhcers and the co-operation of the class that we completed such a successful year. On October 7, we held our first social event of the year, a Wiener roast at Henderson Grove. It was lots of fun and got us all pepped up for an all class party. You see we could have one now that we were Sophomores. The party was held at the Emerson and everyone admitted that we knew how to have a party even though we weren't experienced. We were all so busy after Christmas with examinations and the enter- ing of the mid-year Freshmen that we did not realize how fast the time was iiying until someone suggested another party. The week-end before Spring Vacation we held it. Did you say success- ful? And howl About this point in the season we had to give way to Senior activities so we left the picture, to return the following fall as full-fledged Juniors. age Seventy XUA 9,9 7' .- QQ fofv Nx iFrr5h1nPn Pagre Seventy icille Baker Helen Cook Inez Reynolds Lucille Baker Illrruhmvn 0112155 William Johnson - Vice Inez Reynolds Helen Cook Not CLASS MOTTO CLASS COLORS Purple and Gold CLASS FLOWER Purple Lilac on Top, but Climbing William Johnso President President Secretary Treasurer ilimihmvn 1'Innn1' illnll A GRADE Maxine Campbell Lucille Tillotson Laura J.

Though still in its infancy, the gradual im- provement in size and quality which has been made each year is encourag- ing. The editorial work has been excellent, the credit for which is due to the efforts of the Editor-in-Chief, Virginia Wietzke, and her two capable associates, Florence Lorenz and Bernice Roe. Several marked changes have been made in the make-up of the paper during the past year. One of the most outstanding of these is the use of Old English type in the headings, which makes a decided improvement in the physical appearance of the pages. The Old English theme was also employed throughout the paper in cuts used for column heads. Two new columns were introduced by members of the 1928-29 staff. Have Ye Ever , a column devoted to reviews and criticisms of the better books and plays, was very creditably conducted by its editor, Filbert Hart- shorn. The other column, What Not , consisted of various items of inter- est and humor. indicates. This was edited by Margaret Vandemark. The business department, always important to the success of a news paper, was headed by William May this year. Though seriously handicap- ped in the past, plans for a better business organization for the future are under way. Better facilities afforded by the new high school building will be of particular benefit to this branch of the paper. Mr. Hood has recently undertaken the task of sponsoring this department. The cartoons, comic strips and illustrations drawn by Frank Warren and f'Mike Mansor, staff artists, have contributed in a very definite way to the improvement of the Owossonian . A number of staff members attended a Press Conference at Pontiac in February where Professor Grant Maynard Hyde of the University of Wis- consin, nationally known authority on journalistic writing was the main speaker. About twenty schools of southeastern Michigan were represent- ed at this conference, which will be an annual affair hereafter. The reporters were: Betty Finch, Bernice Fritsch, Jeannette Detwiler, Thelma Glander, Eleanor Lahman, Hugh Hicks, Lois Kirn, Arthur Cronk- hite, Helen Orth, James Miner, Harry Northway, Jane Rayen, and Dorothy Walter. All members of the staff have contributed to the success of the paper throughout the year, but their efforts would have been of little avail had it not been for the excellent advisory work done by Miss Woodard.

This was started and grew from a single to a double quartette last year. They were trained by Mr. W. R. Champion, and sang at many public gatherings. This year, with but two changes from the group of last year, the boys started studying much more ditlicult music, and have improved very much under the direction of Mr. Johnson. They have made several public appear- ances, and have put on programs in other high schools in the neighboring towns where they have been very well received. The quartette entered the district contest, but had no competition and was sent directly to the state Hnals at Lansing. They competed against many other schools, some larger, and some smaller, and did very well, but failed to place among the first three in the state.

Mr. Champion, high school music master until last year, organized and trained them in their first steps. When Mr. Champion was called to a better position, Mr. Heyer of Saginaw supervised the band along with other musical organizations. Under his direction, though a new method is hard to follow, the band progressed and played at a great many of our scholastic activities. On the football field their brisk strains gave spirit to the games and pep to the crowd, and their effect was the same in the basketball gymnasium. Then in early spring our band was the first one out to parade the street and campus putting new life in us all and creating an enthusiastic atmosphere for baseball. We expected a great display of musical talent in various functions throughout the season, but due to the fact that Mr. Heyer resigned just before spring vacation, the band this year has been unable to enter the state tournament or to give a concert as they have given other years to raise funds for new instruments and costumes. This was rather an unfort- unate handicap for them, but a new director, Mr. Spears, filled the vacancy so capably that the band is once again making progress. A new feature is added to the honors of the band this year for they will be given letters , small minor Os . Our band is certainly an ambitious group, for on Thursday, May 10, they held an assembly and presented an entertaining program at a very small admission fee. The proceeds were to be used to defray the expenses of purchasing the letters, all which was left went to the band treasury for other necessary details. The letters will be given on the merit system to the boys who measure up to the requirements. It is very necessary that the band members appear at all rehearsals and business meetings. A boy shows his interest by making his conduct an example for others, and by his attitude. Therefore, all these things give Mr. Spears a general impression of the worthiness of a band member to wear his high school's honorary symbol. An assembly for the presentation of the letters was given and the boys receiving them were duly proud of the recognition. The band has played on several occasions this season also. At the dedi- cation of the new high school their opening and closing selections added the proper touch of solemnity. The also participated in the Decoration Day parade. Not only the Senior Class but the entire high school wishes to express their appreciation to those who have organized and sponsored an interest in music and its development.

Director Harriet Spiess--- --.--Accompanist Due to the able direction of Mr. Heyer and the co-operation of all of its members, the orchestra has enjoyed a very successful year. Many new and difficult compositions were studied and played at vari- ous events during the school year, such as assemblies, banquets, Parent- Teacher meetings and the Junior Play. Among the selections studied were: Boieldieu's Averture , Calif of Bagdadu, and Intermezzo from L'arlesienne Suite . Harriett Spiess has accompanied the organization during the year. Since the resignation of Mr. Heyer the orchestra has been under the direction of Mr. Spears, who, in the course of only a few months, has created a very noticeable improvement in this musical organization. The outlook for 1930 is optimistic, inasmuch as several students broad- ened by two years of orchestra work, are returning.

D irector Evelyn Hart--- ---Accompanist This year marks the third anniversary of the Girls' Glee Club. This musical organization was formed by Mr. Champion two years ago and exceptional progress was made in its growth. The formation of the club has created an interest in vocal work among high school girls and this year the regular classes began under the direc- tion of Mr. Heyer. Although only a few public appearances were made, the members received valuable training. The club continued, in the absence of Mr. Heyer, under the leadership of the able Mr. Johnson, the organizer and leader of the Community Chorus. The club has been an asset to the school and worthy of much honor for its success. Page Eighty Nine I-ft' TOP ROW: Kenneth Clark. Patty Hume, Howard Coy, Charles Parvin, Jack Ellis, Ralph Dickie.

Junior Then the big night came! l I On December 17, 1928, the Senior Class presented So This Is London , by Arthur Goodrich, at the Capitol Theatre. The crowds poured in from a rainy street but soon forgot their discom- forts in the charming story of the play. Junior, a young American, meets Elinor, the daughter of an old English family, on shipboard, but it doesn't all end so pleasantly. They realize that their parents will never agree to their marriage and are helplessly trying to see a Way out. Lady Ducksworth, a friend of the Beauchamps, finds her part here and tries to help the young couple by bringing their families to an understanding. After a struggle which brings many hot tempered remarks from Elinor's father and many sarcastic yet grin-stretching re- torts from Mr. Draper, the barrier between the two nations is broken and a happy ending is staged at a dinner party in the home of Lady Duckworth. The Senior Class owes much to the kind and successful directing of Miss Grace Renwick. Much credit is due to Filbert Hartshorn and his etlicient staff for their successful co-operation.

T illy Hugh Stuart ...........7,...........Y......,............ Dick On May 15, 1929, the Junior Class presented Tilly of Bloomsbury , by lan Hay, as their annual class play. The play is a modern English comedy picturing the adversities of inter- class romance. Tilly, the heroine, is a common girl of very poor parents and her on top of a bus acquaintance and on the top of a bus engage- ment to Richard Mainwaring are a source of exasperation to his aristo- cratic family. Tilly's attempts to fight' for Dick by giving a tea for his family and trying to make her family appear quite as aristocratic as his, has a disastrous ending. Mr. Stillbottle, a bill collector who had been changed to temporary butler, comically makes an awful mess of things. Tilly, seeing the farce of it all, explains the situation truthfully, breaks her engagement as hopeless, and goes back to work. Dick Mainwaring isn't defeated in spite of their differ- ence and at the advice of a dear friend he holds her tight till, like a girl, she gives in, and the curtain drops on a happy reuniting. Most sincere appreciation is extended to Miss Grace Renwick of the English department by the Junior Class for her untiring efforts in direct- ing their play.

Smurf Zlinr Cflhe Ctnalingan One of the plays which the Girls' Civic League presented was Sauce for the Goslings', a one-act play very cleverly presented in the Emerson audi- torium, April 12, 1929. The play is a comedy of slang , and the characters Bob and Elizabeth, just home from college, are the first aggressors. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor flVIike Mansor and Genevieve Lawrencej are very much disturbed with the habits of their children and have tried every gentle way to break them of it. And it isn't long before they hit upon a new but rather daring plan. Bob and Elizabeth fDon Hughes and Helen Orthj have invited and are rather enthusiastic at the prospect of having James Ward, an old college friend of Bob's CLyle Hodgesj, for a visit to their home. The Taylors and grandmother decide that they will use all the slang they know when he comes in order to try and embarrass the children so completely that it will be the end of their indulgence. The plan works beautifully as well as humorously. Bob is almost asham- ed of his parents on the appointed evening and not until then does he realize how awful slang is. Elizabeth is terribly upset at the behavior of her par- ents and tries to tell them on the side to please stop. Before the end of the evening both children are distressed and humiliated so they promise never to use slang again. The Girls' Civic League sincerely appreciate the interest and direction which Miss Margaret Jones has given the play. Qty-Two 1 'FOI' ROW: Inez Reynolds, Thvdalielle Sutton.

She declares that no man shall enter it. Both Lucy, her sister, and Jessie, her niece who is visiting them, do not agree with her because they have gentlemen friends who might call. Aunt Belinda sides in with them. Kate has a wonderful second cousin on the police force. With all four working against Mrs. Bings they succeed in getting a man in the house. A reporter walks in and a policeman is sent for. Later Mrs. Bings is told that both Jessie's and Lucy's gentlemen friends are in the parlor.

Its chief aim is to bring about sociability and also to give the students who are interested in the subject a chance to enlarge their knowledge of it. It has done a great deal towards sociability and hopes to do more in the future towards the actual study of social science. The only qualification for membership is that one be interested in the organization and willing to take part in its activities. The club meets every other Wednesday at three-twenty after school. The meeting is divided into business and social departments. The program usually consists of the reading of an entertaining article or an interesting speech on the subject of social science. The club is to give a play and has talked of a party. It hopes to carry out both plans in the near future. There are about thirty-five active members in the club. The club is greatly indebted to Mr. de Boom and Mr. Hood, the advisors, for their indispensible services. Page Ninety-Six TOI' ROW: Bernice Roe. Mildred Ginther, Vivian Arnett. James Miner.

This club was called the Lyceum Club, and since that time this club has played and important part in the organizations of the High School. It has at the present time twenty-five members. Its purpose is To promote a deeper interest in public speaking in the High School. Any person having at least a C average, and giving an acceptable three minute speech before the club is Welcome to become a member. The meetings have been most interesting and helpful, several one-act plays have been given. A Valentine Party and a banquet were both greatly enjoyed by the members, the latter being an annual vent for the club. In addition, the club has financed the debating team for the last three years, and has been a great help to that organization. To Miss Grace Renwick, the adviser, the club wishes to extend its most sincere appreciation for her aid and suggestions.

The program of each meeting portrays the thought of some great quota- tion. The general topic this year is health and education, in other words, physical and mental development. Interseting speakers on both subjects have been obtained to address the assembly. We have not confined our- selves to these topics, however. Representatives were sent from the group to a Girl and Boy Relation- ship conference held in Grand Ledge. An assembly was called March 22 for the report of the convention. This convention has been held every year but this is the nrst time the League has sent representatives.

Roll Call, answered by something relating to that certain meeting. 2. Business Meeting. 3. Two reports. 4. A song or poem, for variety. 5. A game. Le Petit Journal , to which each member subscribes, is referred to in making reports and answering roll call. This year, in co-operation with the French Study Club, a University Extension Lecture Course was brought to Owosso. There were live num- bers, two from the speech department, and three from the French depart- ment. Much credit is due Miss Schipper, the advisor, and Arlene Post, president, for the effort they have put forth in making the club a success.

The club is conducted on a co-operative basis and our chief aim is to let each girl enter into part of every meeting. Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls are eligible in the club and visitors are always welcome. The various parts of the Cathedral were used as titles for the meetings. We entered the Cathedral through The Portico . This was our first meet- ing and was composed of camp and conference reports. Candles That Burn in the Twilight , was our ceremonial and fifteen girls were taken into the club as new members' One of our largest parties of the year was Altar Boys , when the boys were our guests. Dancing and cards provided the en- tertainment. Of course, a program would not be complete without a few discussion meetings, such as, A Mixed Congregation or interracial and Towers when we view the world.

This club consists of about seventy members, each member pursuing at least one course in agri- culture. All students enrolled in the agricultural department are eligible for membership in the Agricultural Club, and the membership is nearly one hundred per cent. The aims of this club are to sponsor programs or activities relating to the department and to form a closer relationship and promote a better spirit between the agricultural department and the other departments of the school. Each year this club makes several trips, one of which is a visit to Michi- gan State College during Farmers' Week. This club also plans and spon- sors Owosso's participation in the County and State Judging contests held during the school year. Page One Hundred Two TOP ROW: Coyla Loynes.

The membership has been open to any student who has had two years of Latin. The meetings have been held once a month. Reports on Roman homes, furniture, and dress have proved most interesting and instructive to the Latin students. Certain Roman games have beeen introduced to the Club which have proved to be very pleasant. The playlets have produced Roman life and have added a touch of Roman atmosphere to the meetings. Due to the assistance of Miss Golliher, the Club advisor, the programs have fulfilled to a large extent the purpose of the Club. l':n:'e One Hundred Three TOP ROW: Ansel Spiller, Archie Wrigley.

Euhging Elwm The agricultural judging teams of the Owosso High School have been very successful in County and State Judging Contests since judging com- petition has been sponsored by the agricultural schools throughout Michi- gan. They have had the honor of winning more judging contests than any other agricultural department in the state. The first state judging contests were held in 1924. That year Owosso High School won the contest and was proclaimed the State Championship Judging Team. The following year Mr. Braun's stock judging team won the state contests and received the Walter A. French Trophy Cup for stock judging. In 1926, Mr. Braun again coached the Owosso Poultry Judging Team to a State Championship, and in 1927 they again won the state contest. No other school in Michigan has yet accomplished this feat--the Winning of two successive State Championships. The poultry cup is now permanently owned by Owosso which is the only school in the state to have the honor ot' winning a cup three times. The grain and potato judging teams have won several county judging contests, and the agricultural singing team Won state championship in 1927. age One Hundred Four l l FOI' ROW: Mrs. Weatherby, Virginia Spiess, Evndync Spiess, Murlin Dynes.

Page One Hundrr f Page One Glharlra E. milking The first high school boy to receive the honor of having his name in- scribed on the plaque that was presented by the University of Michigan Club, is Charles E. Wilkins. The plaque is designed to bear the name, each year, of a high school student selected by the Principal, instructors, and a Committee from the University Club. The person chosen must be outstanding in leadership, scholarship, and athletics. Charles complies with all these requirements and Well deserves the distinction given him. He is the President of the 1929 graduating class and stands high up among the upper one-third of his class. He is also President of the Science Club and a member of the Athletic Council. In athletic ability he has qualified for the honor with two years on the varsity football eleven, two years on the basketball team, and one year in baseball. Wilkins was an expert end on the football team and played center position on the basket- ball team. He is a three-letter man, earning two in basketball and one in football. Hundred Six fix., 1 11? Paturrz g Seninr Igrnm The Seniors held their annual revelry April 26, 1929, in the Armory. The hall was elaborately decorated in a Dutch theme which was said to give one of the most beautiful effects ever presented in High School history. White and blue were the colors used. Walking down a short hall the guests were confronted by a 29 mono- gram cleverly lighted. They then found arches leading to lobbies on either side. Arches also enclosed the dance floor leaving the artistically arranged lobbies under the balconies. A solid ceiling of rolling white and blue clouds hung above, sheltering the scene of Dutch windmill and the old wharf which was the orchestra pit. The stage showed rays receding to the class emblem. On the horizon were rows of real tulips in various colors. Guests were received by Superintendent and Mrs. E. J. Willinan, Princi- pal and Mrs. E. A. Cournyer, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hume, and Mr. and Mrs. John Detwiler, patrons and patronesses. A most unusual and lovely grand march was led by Charles Wilkins, class president, and Miss Virginia Friegel. They were followed by Kenneth Clark, class treasurer and Miss Josephine Walters. The march ended by forming an HO . Appropriate programs in the form of little Dutch shoes were given at the door. Necklaces, some crystal, some blue, and others amber, were given as favors. The entire affair was a social as well as financial success for the Class of '29, g One Hundred Eight 2 Svrninr ilinllg Eng Remarketable demonstration given of Senior potency and importance.

Page One Hundred El Martina SOPHOMORE ALL CLASS PARTY On November 23 the Sophomores entertained a large crowd with danc- ing and cards. The music was furnished by Lee White's orchestra. Unique decorations of pumpkins and corn stalks around the corners gave an appropriate fall atmosphere. The initials of the High School were placed across the side windows in blue and gold, making a striking result. Sandwiches and punch were served later. The chaperones were Mrs. Gebhart, Miss Bussey, and Mr. Cournyer. JUNIOR ALL CLASS PARTY The Juniors, feeling their pride a bit hurt at not having given the second party of the year, got busy and gave the third, to uphold their prestige. It went over big December 7 in the Emerson school auditorium, about 250 students being present. Besides dancing, cards also were a source of amusement. Paul Ferris' orchestra and a good Waxed fioor in- spired the dancing. Punch, doughnuts, and apples were served by Junior girls. Mr. Haupt, faculty advisor, and Mr. Cournyer, principal, acted as chap- erones. SOPHOMORE ALL CLASS PARTY Well, well, the Sophs have given another party! Oh! but this was different, all decorated in blue and orange. It made a very effective setting. There was a large crowd, the same as before, and dancing and cards were enjoyed. Paul Ferris and his Seven Moderns made even those who couldn't, dance. Punch and wafers kept everyone refreshed. The chaperones were Miss Bussey, class advisor, and Mr. and Mrs. Cournyer. Oh, yes, dear friends, this party was given March 22 in the Emerson auditorium. P g 0 Hundred Twelve Martina ALL CLASS PRE-PROM The Seniors, supposing the inexperienced would appreciate a little dance practice before the Prom, gave a pre-prom party for this purpose on April 13, 1929. It was a real party, too. Orange tang fwith oranges in itl kept everyone feeling in high spirits all evening. The orchestra was one picked up by our old friend Ken Sanderson and they played just like Dan Lerbers' symphony combination. Everyone had a good time including the chaperones who were Mr. Cour- nyer, class advisor, Mr. Braun, and Mr. Haupt. FRESHMAN ALL CLASS PARTY We all thought the Freshmen would strike forth in their colors before the season was over and sure enough it all happened May 24 at the Emer- son dance hall . An exceedingly large crowd turned out to make the evening most enjoy- able. Dancing, refreshments, and cards were the main features of the party. SENIOR ALL CLASS PARTY Feeling responsible for the welfare of shy little newcomers, the Seniors gave the first all class party of the season on October 2, in the Emerson auditorium to initiate the Freshmen into the social functions of the year. The party was Well attended and dancing and cards were the diversions offered. Many of our young guests, Cwe have found out since they are not so shyh did not dance, but I'm sure they enjoyed the refreshments served later in the evening. Music was furnished by Lee White's Serenaders , and the chaperones for the party were the class advisor, Mr. Cournyer, Mr. Haupt, and Mr. Braun.

Coach Brooks has done for Owosso High what very few coaches could accomplish. He was the one who changed our team from just a mediocre type to one of championship calibre. Every ycar he turns out better teams and We as Seniors Wish him success in years to come. Earl Brooks Coach Coach Brooks was Well aided by an assistant who understands all types of games from start to finish. Assistant Coach Chester Haupt should be given a large portion of the credit for the high quality of the teams Owosso turned out this year. Chet had the coaching ability and used it.

If the last quarter of the last game could be erased from history, our team would have gone through the season without a defeat. Clean play- ing and the will to win were the big factors that helped our team stop every enemy but Flint Nor- thern, who won by the score of 6-0. After holding two strong teams, Arthur Hill and Saginaw East- ern, to a scoreless decision the first of the season, the Blue and Gold had easy going until it met Flint Northern in the last game of the season. The team won a place in the State by sharing the Class B championship with Traverse City and Fordson, also by placing three men on Remington's All-State team. Mansor was elected as center on the third team while Hodges and Hughes drew honorable mention as tackle and back, respectively.

The Blue and Gold battled Arthur Hill to a scoreless result, thus indicat- ing on the basis of the score that the two elevens were closely matched. It would be hard to convince the many Owosso fans that their team did not deserve to win the tussle. The final count was 0-0. Howell. Owosso romped over their second foe by White-washing Howell to an easy 30-0 shut out.

Saginaw Eastern was our next foe, furnishing the first opposition on the home gridiron. The Blue and Gold outplayed the upstaters, but with no better draw than another scoreless, tie decision. Midland. The Blue and Gold gridders kept their goal line uncrossed by defeating Midland High. The team failed to show the football uncovered in their previous games by losing several chances to score as the wet field interferred.

The game was played at Ypsilanti to the score of 12-6. Indians. The Mt. Pleasant Indians came to Owosso for the next game of the local's schedule, and it was in this game that Owosso uncovered more smart football than had been seen here for a long time. The strong Indian team yielded to the count of 38-12. Indian Game V . ...A ll . 'WW 1 d Doyl M les Weidma J- , v St. Johns Game St. Johns. Holding St. Johns at safe dis- tance, but lacking usual power on offense when several good scoring chances were let slip, the Blue and Gold came through by winning the Annual Armistice Day engage- ment to a 6-0 victory. Flint. Owosso lost their last game in a sea of mud to Flint Northern. The invaders slipped over score late in the game, and as a result, the Blue and Gold's record of no defeats for the season was shattered by the narrow margin of a single touchdown. How- ever, Owosso ended her successful season with the score 6-0 in favor of Flint.

After losing the first five games it seemed a very gloomy aspect but iight and determination to show that they could tuck away a game started a winning streak and it lasted the remainder of the season till we were defeated by Mt. Pleasant in the Regional Tournament. Owosso won from St. Johns for the Champion- ship of the district but through some hard luck fell to Mt. Pleasant, in the Regional meet, in what seemed rather a fluke game. At the end of the first half the Blue and Gold basketeers lead with count of 10-2 but Mt. Pleasant came through to win the tussle to the score of 16-15. Captain Hughes showed skill in controlling the team and was a big factor in making it a success. The team as a whole was alert, fast, sure-shooting. I Q , I i Mike Mansor Alex D th Harzitg ilirrnril December 21-Saginaw Eastern 25, Owosso 9 January 4-Arthur Hill 36, Owosso 19.

Coach Brooks' great- est problem has been to find a suitable bat- tery, as both pitcher and catcher were lost by graduation. The only veterans available for this year's squad were Hilgendorf, Dreuth, Hughes, Mansor and Dickie. Many brilliant prospects have been uncovered both as batterymen, infielders and outfielders and next year will see many of this yearis players back in uni- form, which should be a decided advantage.
