Consciously or unconsciously we are asking ourselves “How can I make the most oi myself at this crucial time?” We should not wish to be great for the sake of our own personal gains, but for the sake of usefulness io our country and the world. If this war goes on and our men are called to the front, many of our schoolmates will be with them, not only as soldiers but also as nurses. Before they will be ready to go, there will be a great deal of training necessary. Training is very important but habit is more so. Shakespeare makes Hamlet say that “Habit is a second nature.” Albert Beveridge says, “Rules for good work fail without good habits. Habit is the most powerful influence in human life.” More men fail in their undertakings, more neglect of public duty re- sults, more bad work of any kind is produced by bad habits than by any othen cause. No man with bad habits can do much work of any kind, or any work of a good kind. It is our own fault if we are not at our best. Never blame anybody else for your own misfortunes. Occasionally there is such a thing as misfortune that seems to follow us, but, generally speaking, we are the architects of our own failures. In one of Maeterlinck’s wonderful stories lie tells of a powerful man of the middle ages who conceived great plans and executed them, but always with difficulty. Erequently he almost failed, and succeeded only by super- human effort. Finally he found that a secret enemy was always working against his most careful plans, neutralizing his most strenuous e xertions. As the years passed, he determined to find and destroy this enemy. Life was not worth living with this hidden foe forever encircling him with difficulties. One evening as he was out walking, he saw another man approaching him. By that strange instinct which warns us of danger, he knew that this man was his lifelong enemy, and he resolved to kill him. As he approached, he ob- served that this man wore a mask. But conscious that this was the antago- nist of his life, he said, as they met: “You are the man w r ho from my youth till now has been pursuing me. thwarting me, almost defeating me. I mean to kill you, but I will give you a chance for your life. Draw and defend your- self.” The stranger said, as he drew his sword ,“I am at your service, but first see who it is that you would fight.” He removed his mask, and the man stood before himself. This fable is true of every one of us. Where you think an enemy has injured you, look closely, and nine times out of. ten you will find yourself in some evil guise, but oftenest you will find yourself in the form of your habits. Just how efficient we have become the future alone can reveal. But may the class of 1917 continue unceasingly in their efficiency formation, so as not only to be able to acquire the good habits, but also to eliminate the bad ones or in the words of the poet to “know ourselves.” 9 The Crystal Sphere DOROTHY DUNCAN, ’17 There was a new crescent moon in the west which, with the star above it, made an agreeable oriental combination. In the haze over bay and river enough rose and purple remained to veil the awakening glitter of the city, sprawling supine between river, sound amt sea. And its incessant monotone pulsated, groaning, dying, ceaseless, inter- minable in the light-shot depths of its darkening streets. The sky-drawing-room windows of the Countess Zimma were all wide open, but the only light in the room came from a crystal sphere poised on a tripod. It had the quality and lustre of moonlight, but I could not find out its source, for no electric wires were visible, and one could move the tripod about the room. The crystal sphere itself appeared to be luminous, yet it ' remained per- fectly transparent, whatever the source of its silvery phosphorescence. As usual the Countess was curled up by the open window among her silken cushions, one smooth little gem-laden hand playing with the green jade god, her still dark eyes, w hich slanted a little, fixed dreamily upon infi- nite distance. No one ever seemed to know just what she was looking at even when she turned her dark eves on them or on her crystal sphere cradled upon its slender tripod. Some one brought the tripod with its crystal ball and set it down in the middle of the room. As its mild ray ' s fell on the marble basin of a tiny foun- tain, I heard Zimma asking me what I wished to hear. ‘‘Of all the visions which have passed before your eyes within the depths of that crystal globe ’ said I — “of all the histories of men and women which, seated here in this silent, silk-hung place, I desire to hear only the fates of my P. H. H. S. class- mates whom I graduated with eight years ago.” She glanced about the room and smilingly began: “Don’t ask me how I know what these people are doing; that is my con cern, not yours. Don’t ask me how I know who they are; that is my affair Nor how I seem to be perfectly acquainted with their past histories ; for that is part of my profession. And now I will tell you all I know of the class of ’17’’ and, gazing into the depths of the crystal globe, she began in a low musi- cal voice : “Erwin Weaver is making himself famous in Shakespearean plays and is greeted as the actor of the twentieth century. In private life, he is happily married and has a large family. Florence Jones is at present in charge of armor cataloguing in the Metropolitan Museum but she wears a large diamond solitaire on the fourth finger of her left hand. Helen Manuel gave up re- search work in fossil bones to marry a young lawyer of Sarnia, Out. Marshall Draper and Claire Tripp are officers in the Marine Corps, both having joined but a few months after graduation. Florence Gibbs and Grace Donaldson are doing settlement work in Chicago this year under the direction of Anna Camercu. Anna has been there for six years and is happily married to a Methodist minister. Also in Chicago are Thomas Reid, professor of physics in the University, and Max Colter, popular model for “.Society Brand Clothes.” 10 Dora Jenks went into training at Johns Hopkins and graduated with honors. She decided to remain independent but last month her engagement to a 1918 graduate was announced. Grace Chambers also trained for a nurse and is now at the head of the operating room in an English hospital. Arthur Carson still possesses the charm of his High School days and has a trail of fair maidens after his heart. But Arthur was cut out for a bachelor and lets no feminine fascinations interfere with his splendid law practice. Lillian Heddlc eloped with a young blond shortly after her graduation and three years later the bitter war had left her a widow. Her marriage to a Pittsburg millionaire, thirty-six years her senior, is to be a great event of next week. Josephine McCarty, having broken the hearts of several admirers is remorse- ful and is thinking of taking the veil. Erma Steinborn is still a man-hater and much interested in woman suffrage work. Marian Gray is one of the well known suffragettes of Colorado and although married she finds time to lead all the parades, while her husband is quite able to care for the children at home. Carl Smith and George Waugh have gone into vaudeville and are making a hit with their songs and stories. Anna Smith before marrying a young lieutenant in the navy was dietitian for the Post sanitarium. Frances Kendall, of course, was married the year following graduation, but her home life has not interfered with her musical ambitions and she is now starring i . a popular opera written by a ’17 — Madelyn Akers. Mrs. Carlisle also writes all of Mark Collins songs. Since John McCormick ' s death several years ago, Mark has become universally the most popular tenor. Louise McArron, after graduating from a school of design married a little blond and has made him very happy. She has an enormous income and he is a splendid housekeeper. Mark Haynes and his wife reside in Port Huron where Mrs. Haynes is presi- dent of the local match factory. Helen Allum and Nettie Rademacher now live in California where they run a fruit farm in partnership. Grace Bastedo also makes California her home, where, as you probably know, she has be- come famous for her daring aerial flights. Among other westerners are Harry Rosenthal, heavyweight champion of Montana, and Bert Rapley, phy- sical director of an outdoor school. Zilpha Gillett and Winifred Beach have gone into Lyceum work in connection with the children s playground. Bain Hill’s training in kindergarten work at Pratt Institute has been of great value to her even if she didn’t use it in a professional way, for she was mar- ried five years ago and the twins keep her cpiite busy. Alice Cock is also hap- pily married but is still as flirtatious as in her high school days. Everett McCabe and Sarah Elliott conduct a dancing school in Detroit and on account of their natural talent in that line, are making it a great success. Gladys Brotherton is one of the two girls of that class who has gone into public speaking. On account of her fondness for that sort of work she travels in the west delivering free lectures on the Holy Land. The other public speaker among the girls of the class, Frances Moak, whom you remember as being the bold masculine type, has become a famous woman lawyer in Kentucky. Ransom Stone is a retired millionaire having made his fortune but two years after graduation in the manufacture of alarm clocks. As you undoubtedly remember Ransom received his first instruction in the working of clocks in connection with the History Course during his Senior year. Freida Lehmann has the fashionable hair dressing shop on Broadway and is an aitist in the use of peroxide. Blonds are her specialty. Much experience during school days enables her to make a great success of it. Howard Parsons has also followed up his high school traits and is now dancing in the “Show of II Wonders’ with Faith Randall who is also making a hit in burlesque and musical comedy. Gladys Stevens and Lela May are putting forth their best efforts in a campaign for dress reform for young high school girls. Marguerite May graduated from Ann Arbor with honor without having studied a tiling. I his was simple to do as you remember Marguerite’s distinct dislike for studying. Eleanor Ludlow, still the prim, dignified girl of eight years ago, is happy teaching in a little country school. Lyda Jex and Evelyn Marlette started a private school for young ladies which is now considered the most exclusive of eastern seminaries. Kate Dunford, one of the most serious, con- scientious girls of ' 17 is now in India doing missionary work, and, although it seems incredible, owing to her youthful indifference toward young men, her engagement to the leader of a church choir has just been announced. Robert Anderson and Lee Leonhard are others counted on the bachelor list. 1 hey have both gone into politics. Holbourn Bcardman and Wesley Ccx have been up to their old tricks and are now awaiting sentence for stealing chickens. Carl Sturmer’s vicious disposition lead him on with difficulties and he is serving a term in Jackson for contradicting his mother-in-law. Mildred Carlisle is a living model for a New York shop and still claims to be a pei feet 3b. Her husband was killed in the war and she now has to sup- port herself and children. Gordon Godley is the brilliant historian of the period and holds a seat at Harvard. Roy Harris is at present in New York being featured at the Hippodrome as the “greatest tight rope-walker in tiie world ” Mary Chambers has just won a cup offered by Carnegie in an au- tomobile race from here to Montana. Mary and her husband live on a ranch in that state. Harold Carlisle and Gordon Maitland were theological students in the same college and are now situated in two of the big churches of Phila- delphia. Howard Lane has a fine position at a haberdasher ' s but the work is really too strenuous for him and he is about to take another vocation. Herman Kunze and Elton Parker run a dairy and have made it possible for their customers to purchase milk at the low cost of 15 cents per quart. Milli- cent Neil and Evelyn Pace are popular young movie stars. Francis Scott has also adopted this vocation and is now the favorite movie actor. He is very handsome, a few years having changed him but little and the girls never miss a picture that Scottie is in. Eunice Dart is living in New York where she is considered a coming young sculptress. She has already made her fortune by her fine work. Freda Collins inherited a fortune from a rich ‘uncle and has a marvelous estate on the Hudson where she has nothing to do but amuse herself. This, however, is a source of much unhappiness to Freda owing to her fondness for all kinds of work. Elsie Pressprich has finished writing a book for High School Freshmen entitled, “How to Get the Most Out of Studying. Another writer of the 1917 class is Elwood Windham who made a million dollars off his latest publication, “The Fine Points in Bluffing.” Dorris Robinson and Prudence Rowe have charge of the candy and gum stands in all the leading High Schools. Ralph Jenkins is still in the hospital but the doctors hold out strong hopes for his recovery. Pie was injured by a severe blow on the head by a rolling-pi n. Needless to say he is married. Quinneth Summers is proprietor of a manicuring parlor for men only and they say she can not accommodate all her customers. Schuyler Smith has given up all social activities and is devoting his life to writing. His first success is entitled Ofiran des Couer. He has never been the same since his fiancee eloped with a movie actor. Ialeen Taylor who went with the ambulance corps to Prance lost one arm while in active service. This, how- 12 ever, has not interfered with her art work, for her “left hand drawings are an exhibition of wonder in Paris museums. Margaret Balkwell’s wedding the day after graduation was a large affair. After the ceremony the guests roasted marshmallows on the beach over a bonfire made of the notes that Margaret and William wrote to each other during the last month of school. Neil Mathiescn, the class poet, has written many beautiful songs and love lyrics. This disease is caused by a defective heart. Zimma stopped speaking and made a sign to the green jade god. I realized I had learned all I had asked for. and the sphere seemed to under- stand for somehow, under the still gaze of Countess Zimma it clouded mag- nificently like a black opal and then a servant took the tripod and crystal from the room. Editor’s Note — We have also been informed that Miss Dorothy Duncan, who has been in Hawaii since her graduation has recently married Count Loa Mon Oa, the wealthy Hawaiian sugar producer. MIDNIGHT H. A. C., ’i 7 I heard a voice at midnight. Call silently below, Mary dear, put out the light And tell your friend to go. But someone silenced Mary dear, From telling her friend to go; When suddenly from somewhere near Her father shouted “Go !” T heard a foot upon the stair, It hit me hard, I don’t know where; I hit the sidewalk on my “dome,” Turned, shook my fist and hurried home. 13 CLASS OF 1917 President Vice President .

Taylor Post Graduate Mary Lohrstorfer Dramatics The Senior Class of iqiy presented on the evening of Friday, April thir- teenth, three one-act plays in place of the customary three-act play. These modern forms of the drama were unusual for high school production and de- manded talent and training neither of which were lacking. Compliments to Miss Sibilla ' s instruction and artistic ability were heard from every side as were the praises for each actor. The “curtain raiser” was, “A Pot of Broth,” by Y. B. Yeats, which called for real Irish peasants and was successfully answered by Carl Smith, Thomas Reid and Lillian Heddle. The play was full of Irish wit and was much ap- preciated by the large and interested audience. The second play, “The Fatal Message ’ a farce by John Kendricks Bangs, was enthusiastically received. The play was very humorous, being a realistic reproduction of how amateur theatricals are usually played and managed. The parts were cleverly taken by Robert Houston and Dorothy Duncan who represented Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus Perkins; Zilpha Gillett, a professional waitress; Harold Carlisle, Mr. Robert Yardsley, the stage manager; Erwin Weaver, Louise McArron, Grace Donaldson and Wesley Cox, who were cast for parts in the play within the play. The two comedies were followed by a most artistic production of Earnest Dawson ' s “Pierrot of the Minute.” Mildred Ann Carlisle as the “Moon Maiden” — a charming immortal and Mary Louise Chambers as Pierrot — the most lovable of the earth-born, with their melodious voices and graceful steps, together with the sweet faint music and classic scenic effects transported the audience to the world of fancy. It was a beautiful climax for a highly suc- cessful evening which added three more worthy plays to the High School ' s dramatic record. THE JUNIOR PLAY The precedent was broken, this year, in the novel entertainment given bv the Juniors for the Seniors. In the place of the merry festal board, they provided a feast of wit and humor, in the play called, “In the Pullman Car,” by W. D. Howells. Great secrecy was observed and many mysterious meet- ings were held in various rooms for several weeks preceding the event. Miss Chapin and Miss Sibilla not only successfully kept the general public in dark- ness as to their plans but also produced an entertainment which was highly appreciated by all and the Seniors declared they were glad “it wasn t a ban- quet. The play was enacted with great skill and furnished a great deal of amusement for all present. After the theatre party the corridors were cleared and dancing furnish- ed the amusement for the rest of the evening. 35 Junior Basket Ball Team Basket Ball 3 The Inter-Class basket ball schedule was very successful this season. There was much class spirit and the Juniors and Seniors almost came to blows. The Juniors were declared the winners by a decision handed down by Supt. Lewis. The most interesting game was played between the Seniors and the Juniors, going two periods over time, the Seniors finally coming out two points to the good. This game, however, was forfeited, the Seniors having used an ineligible player. The Freshies started slow but finished in whirl-wind style having the fastest team in the league. The “Sophs” played a steady game all the way through, and had some especially fine basket shooters. The teams lined up as follows : Seniors Maitland, Capt. Harris Stone Colter Waugh Jenkins Scott Oliver Soph. Juniors Waterworth Chamberlain, Capt. Kleinstiver Thompson Xorris, Capt. Simms Goldman F ' x Holt Hart W ' atts Richards Sullivan Fresh. Sickles Bonnet Xickolson, Capt. Gerrie Phillips Moore Johnstone ;,6 ATHLETICS MARK HAYNES, ’17 When Coach Myers issued his call for baseball recruits this spring, everything pointed to a hard year for “Tub because Harris and Stone were the only two veterans, but Tubby has again come across with the goods and has given P. H. H. S. a team of players who are capable of putting up a good fight against some of the strongest teams in the state. Mt. Clemens — Port Huron When Port Huron baseball fans found that our high school pill slingers were to play Mt. Clemens they thought at the time that Port Huron would have the big end of the deal and those who saw that game are here to state, that it was about as exciting as a debate between two deaf and dumb debating teams with all odds in favor of the dummies. Enought has been said, the score will tell the rest for it ended 31 to 3, favor of our huskies. Port Huron — Saginaw — At Saginaw This was the first defeat of the season. The day w-as so cold that only about 50 rooters turned out for the game. The Saginaw pitcher seemed to have a special grudge against our team as he hit eight of them and on account of this and his terrific speed. Port Huron seemed lost and did not find themselves until it was too late. French pitched an excellent game for P. H. H. S. and if the weather had been somewhat better, he might have received 37 Base Ball Team better support. Bonnet caught a tine game getting four men out at second. Score, io-6. Yale — Port Huron. Port Huron let loose Saturday and took Yale into camp to the tune of n to 6. The fellows displayed better team work in this game than they have so far this season. Carson was at the receiving end and handled the pill like a veteran. The team seems to be rounding into shape now and things are beginning to look brighter for a successful season. Anker Holth— P. H. H. S. P. H. H. S. suffered nobly for the cause of the Red Cross Thursday afternoon by taking a severe drubbing from the Anker Holths 17 to 4. Our team fought gamely although a little ragged at times but the Anker Holth men were too much for P. H. H. S. and as a result we were defeated. French and Waugh were the shining lights for the red and white. 33 House Notes The Fifth Session of the Port Huron High School House of Representa- tives will stand out in the memory of all active representatives as one of the most successful since the founding of the organization. In the fall Referee Anderson convened the House and the years officers were elected. Debating was started at once. The questions debated were “Government Ownership of Railways” and the “Tariff.” Early in March the House met Detroit Western in a dual debate on the question: “Resolved, That the United States Own and Maintain Its Own Railways, Both Steam and Electric.” Robert Farr, Warren Simms and Gordon Maitland defended the affirma- tive at home, while the negative team, Philip Amaclon, Ross Fox and Elmer Hess went to Detroit. The House lost both debates two to one. Then came the second dual debate of the year, when the House met the Albion High School on the “Railroad” question. The House team composed of Ross Fox, Elmer Hess and Harold Pettengill was defeated. But at Albion, Robert Farr, Warren Simms and Clele Matheison showed their superiority over opponents by gaining a unanimous decision of the judges. The annual banquet was held May the twenty-fourth at the Hotel Harring- ton with Mr. Shirley Stewart as toastmaster. At the banquet the members of the debating teams were presented with letters. The roll of the House for this year is as follows: Theo. Anderson — Referee. Representative G. Maitland, Speaker — Michigan. Representative N. Matheison — Ohio. Representative E. Chamberlain, Student Reporter — Pennsylvania. Representative W. Simms — New York. Representative E. Stringer — Kentucky. Representative R. Farr, Treasurer and Assistant Clerk — Nevada. Representative C. Robinson — Washington. Representative C. Matheison — North Carolina. Representative R. Fox — New Mexico. Representative P. Amadon — Indiana. Representative E. Hess — Virginia. Representative G. Tappan — Louisiana. Representative A. Browning — North Dakota. Representative J. Cowan — South Dakota. Representative H. Pettengill — Mississippi. Representative J. Conat — Massachusetts. Representative A. Hogan — Maine. Representative D. Watterworth — New Hampshire. Representative R. Brothwell — Vermont. Representative E. Bassett — Delaware. Representative H. Hill — Tennessee. 39 The above is a picture of “The Loyal Order of Waiters,” an organization which was organized to serve the Chamber of Commerce at their banquets. It was under the head of Mr. Davis who is a very efficient head waiter. If there are any organizations who want a troop of organized waiters, very effi- cient, phone to Mr. Davis. P. S. — Their fee is a share of the eats. 40 Debating Teams Port Huron High School Cadets i Thomas Reid, Jr. — T7 This patriotic organization is composed of over seventy-five of the stud- ents of our school, with the motive of familiarizing themselves with the rudi- ments of militarism so that they may be of some service to their country dur- ing the war with Germany.

Whatever trouble Adam had, No man could make him sore By saying when he told a joke, “I’ve heard that one before.” An Englishman who was paying his first visit to this country was not very familiar with the slang words often used. One day while riding on a street car he was attratced by the extraordinary appearance of a baby in the arms of a woman who was seated opposite him. He kept watching the child constantly and the mother, growing angry, suddenly leaned over and hissed : “Rubber!” “Thank the Lord, ma’am,” said the Englishman, much relieved, “I thought it was real, upon me word !” 45 Books WARREN SIMMS, - i8 I.

We rushed in so quickly we almost ran. To be in there before the movie began. In climbing and crawling to our end seat. We crushed people’s hats and stepped on their feet. Sitting down we began at the wall to stare Until a man behind us let us know he was there, By telling his lady friend all of the play. Now it made the people in front of us so Nervous they couldn’t stay. The man took the hint and kept himself still. Now everything went all right until. The hero of the screen made a few of 11s yell. When from the top of a cliff he all at once fell. We rose from our seats and started for home — The rest of this romance is as dry as a bone. “Miss Olden thinks the hotel clerk just lovely.” “Why so?” “He wrote after her name on the hotel register, ' Suite 16.’ Married THOMAS REID, ’17 When they ' re walking close together, All regardless of the weather; When they see no passerby, And they do not even try ; When she whispers to the fellow In a voice that ' s sweet and mellow. And she hangs onto his arm In a manner full of charm ; When he helps her o ' er the curbing. And from jolts that are disturbing; When they’re out upon parade. And lie’s tender to the maid ; When they ' re acting somewhat spoony, And are talking language looney ; When lie’s a gallant knight You can bet your hat all right — They’re engaged. When along the streets they scurry. And he yells to her to hurry ; When lie’s fifteen feet ahead, And no useless words are said ; When his conversation’s scrappy, And her replies are snappy, When he pauses to relate, “Damm it, my, you’re always late !” When at every corner crossing There is pulling, hauling, bossing; When he looks distinctly peeved, And she looks as though she’s grieved ; When they dodge about and stumble, When they slip and slide and tumble; Just because they are in haste, And they have no time to waste, “They’re married.” Miss Trathen — “What is a caterpillar?” Bright Lad — “An upholstered worm.” She: “Do you think that the automobile will displace the horse?” He (nervously gazing down the road) : “It will if it hits him.” Miss Moore: “What was the chief characteristic of General Grant?” F. Jones: “He had a strong head.” Q. Summers (half way home on a hot day):. “My, I wish I had an electric chair !” 48 With the Aid of Tomrmp Soti Kan begs permission to send to the honorable Yuan Itske, his noble brother, greeting, and tremendous wishes for a happy constitution and pleas- ant dreams. My brother, I have arrived in this strange land and have immediately commenced school. I told you of my most eventful journey, and must now describe this queer, surprising place where I spend most of my time. The school is made of three long, wide houses, one pla ced over the other, the upper ones being reached by many steps. Thru the middle of these houses run long alleys called halls which are used by the students as a place where walks may be taken, refreshments enjoyed and an old friend saluted in a very queer way, by either striking at his head with a book and knocking him about (I suppose this must be one of their forms of exercise, altho I have not been assured on that point), or asking that friend if he has his “Trig” or his “Caesar.” (These are two noble gentlemen who were about to aid our beloved country against the hated enemy Russia just before our great victory, and this glorious government commended their bravery by ordering that all watches be named either “Trig” or “Caesar” in memory of their ex- traordinary daring and by commanding all of its citizens to carry one of them on penalty of a severe fine, while students must not come without them or must remain after school in a terrible dungeon called the “Atethour” where they are submitted to all kinds of torture; so an obliging and exceedingly pleasing youth named Tommy has kindly informed me. He said it was not required that I carry one as I am a “coolie” which I think means a great hero. The first thing 1 noticed when I arrived was that the number of girls surpasses that of the boys. My friend Tommy says it is because it is the fashion just now. It is also the fashion for a student to bring some toy such as an alarm-clock, a newspaper or a pet spider to his class when he has not pre- pared the assigned work. He is invariably sent to the office (Tommy says this is a place not to be mentioned in anybody’s presence, and he ought to know as he has been there) and consequently is spared the painful process of making a “bluff” which means talking so fast that the teacher is glad to promise him any amount of tens to get him shut off, or else holding one’s hand high in the air that the said teacher will never ask him to rise and shine. I tried this latter method yesterday, but my arm grew so tired that I let it fall suddenly with a slight crash, and immediately a bell sounded some place. Everybody rushed for the door and made for the open air in spite of my in- sistent remonstrances that I had meant no harm. I was pushed outside with the rest, and no one seemed to notice me. When everyone was out of the building we all went in again. I was very much puzzled. But I found Tommy, and he said it was only a “Fire-drill” and it wasn’t my fault at all. I was very much relieved. However, when I must bluff again I shall resort to the first method. It is much safer. I have not yet found out what the “Fire-drill” is, but I believe it is the modern form of the “Fire-dance” which the former natives used to practice. I read of this in a “History of the American Indian.” It may be, however, that I am mistaken, and that “Fire-drill” is merely a slang expression for “a way to become warm.” I must ask Tommy. 49 Everyone takes off his hat and leaves on his shoes here on entering. I am not yet used to that, nor to the uncomfortable clothes I must wear. My neck is encased in a high, stiff, round article called a collar which supports my head so high that I cannot see any lower than six inches below a line drawn perpendicular to my chin. A perpendicular is a line drawn to another line in the soonest way it can get there. I found that out in a Geometry class. “Geometry,” Tommy says, “is the science of corners and how to turn them.” He says it is very useful in driving a car. The halls branch off into rooms in which are queer seats and desks set in rows. A teacher has a desk and chair in front. It is her business to send one to the office if one is late and to remind the students to deposit their gum in the waste-basket upon entering the room. There are two kinds of rooms, session and class. One goes to the ses- sion room to find out if he is present, tardy, or absent. There are several class rooms and they ar e all different. Each room has a letter over the door, which my friend says is the initial of a word denoting the quality of the products contained in that room. A, stands for awful; B, bully; C, classy; etc. Again I have been fortunate enough to have my friend Tommy as a most delightful informant. Most of this I do not under- stand, but suppose that the name suits the occupants or they would change it. As I could speak English before I came to America I have no special difficulty in making myself understood. But it is hard to get the meaning from another’s words. This morning I met a young lady in the hall who told me the principal wanted to see me. I caught the principal’s gaze, and then felt assured that he had his wish. But no, I soon discovered that “to see” means to go and speak with someone and to be scolded for not going sooner. I was very much surprised. When the students feel especially active (which is sometimes not often) they pack themselves into a large room and let off steam by trying to yell louder than the next fellow. Then they put the ball players up in front and yell at them. After they have yelled about everything they can think of they yell some more and then leave, perfectly satisfied with themselves. This is called a “mass meeting” because, I suppose, we are massed in so very tightly that it is difficult to shout properly, since usually someone is standing on my feet, which is rather unpleasant, or I am on someone ' s, and in incessant dan- ger of falling off. However, it is pleasing to be in danger at times as it calls forth one’s courage. Tommy has told me that every six weeks cards are given out telling what the different teachers think of one. I think mine all love me because they laugh at me so much. The cards are called “Report cards,” a most appro- priate name. Whenever one gets hungry, he lunches on something from his pocket. I though I would do it right and brought a little basket of lunch to diminish my hunger. But everyone seemed to think that funny, and Tommy says that lunches are not taken for the usual purpose, but merely to have some- thing to do. I shall remember that, as it is the fashion here, and also the fashion to be in fashion. I am often perplexed bv the queer unusual things that we are expected to do, but with the aid of Tommy, I know that I shall always do the right thing. Farewell. — SOTI KAN. So Compensation GORDON R. MAITLAND, ’i 7 That night there was to be a light football practice, just enough to limbei up the men for the big game of the year, on the morrow, when Oakhall and Grayville were to play for the championship of the East. Coach Comb’s last words to the Grayville players, Friday afternoon, were “Every fellow be in by nine o’clock tonight and do not eat before retiring.” When he said these last words he was looking into the eyes of Mike Donnel, the wiry little half back. Mike, looking up, saw the coach staring at him, and immediately he jerked his head down, and stared at a hole in the ground. “That is all,” said the coach and Mike walked slowly to the gym. He dressed and sauntered over to the library thinking of the last words of the coach, “Be in by nine o’clock and do not eat before retiring.” Mike knew what it meant to the school to win the game from Oakhall tomorrow, but he also knew what it meant to him if he went to bed at nine o’clock. Mike was only a Sophomore and he had a long future before him, a chance to star in football, but he had made an engagement for this unlucky Friday night two weeks previous, and had secured tickets for the play that was to be given in the city that night. He did not want to break the engage- ment, neither did he want it known that he had disobeyed the coach’s orders. He sat in his room trying to think of a way to escape without the fellows knowing it. He had a brilliant thought; he would take his bed out onto the porch for the night. He could put his good suit inside the pillow, and the fellows would suspect nothing. He successfully performed this, then walked over to the boathouse and changed his clothes. He dressed with great care, for he wanted to make a deep impression upon the mind of Mae Duplex, a girl, who, in his eyes, had no equal ; nor was he alone in this idea. More than one fellow thought her the prettiest girl in the city. As he left the boat- house, he could not help thinking, “Be in at nine o’clock.” It was all bosh, anyhow. But if he should meet the coach, what would he think of him? When he arrived in front of Mae’s home, he rang the bell. While he was waiting for her to answer it, he glanced at his watch ; it was just 7:30. She came to the door and invited Mike in to speak to her mother and father. When they were ready to leave, Mr. Duplex exclaimed, “Be home early.” This rather startled Mike. They passed through the main street, till they came to the theater, and Mike congratulated himself because he had met no one from school. When they came out of the theater, they went directly home. Mae in- vft ' ed ' him in, but Mike was uncertain whether to go or not. He at last decided to go in for a short time. Just as they were entering the house, the clock struck ten. In a few moments Mae brought in something to eat. This was the last stroke. He tried to escape from eating by giving the excuse that he was not hungry, but Mae insisted upon his eating some of her cake — some she had made herself. This was too great a temptation to resist ; he could no longer refuse. When Mike was leaving for home, Mae’s last words were, “I hope your being up late will not interfere with your playing tomorrow.” He responded with a sickly grin. On his way home Mike could not help thinking of the last words of the 5i coach that afternoon, comparing them with the last words of Mr. Duplex and the last words of Mae. When he went to bed it was n . 30 . He did not sleep very well, and was glad when morning came. When he got up, he went down to the gym to get his usual rub down ; all the fellows were singing and yelling, thinking the world was theirs. When Mike’s turn came, he walked slowly toward the coach, who, noticing his listless attitude, asked what was the matter. “Nothing,” was the sullen reply. It was three o’clock; the band was playing; the college was rooting, the Hags were flying. As the band struck the first notes of the “Victors,” the Grayville eleven came upon the field. The coach again noticed Mike’s lack of pep and made up his mind that he would watch him rather closely throughout the game. When the coach came around to give his last orders, he changed Mike from left half to right half. Because of the situation of the other team, this would be an easier position. So Mike thought that the coach knew that he had disobeyed orders. In the first part of the game Mike could not gain a arcl when called upon. In the first quarter neither team had scored ; when the first half was over the score remained the same, o to o. Between halves the coach impressed upon their minds that they would have to play harder to win. He told Mike not to hesitate when he had the ball, and asked him if he wanted to be changed back to his old position. Mike quickly answered, “No.” thinking he would have a good excuse to offer after the game for his poor playing. The whistle blew for the second half and the captain whispered into Mike s ears, ‘Make up for it in this half.” The game started and the ball kept getting closer and closer to Oakhall goal. The quarter-back noticed Mike s lagging, and did not like to take a chance by giving the ball to him. Grayville kept getting nearer the goal, and when they were within three yards of it, Mike’s signal was given to go around left end. He took the ball, but his feet seemed to be made of lead and his head of feathers. He was tackled within one foot of the goal. He took the ball again but could not gain an inch. With one minute to play and the score o to o the quarter- back signaled for Mike to drop kick. He knew that all depended on him, and he did his best, but the ball went away out of its course, and the final whistle blew. Score o to o. Mike hurried away from his companions ; he blamed his luck ; he blamed the change of positions ; he blamed the coach and the quarterback. Then he came face to face with Mae Duplex. Oh, I am so sorry, I should never have let you come out last night.” Mike hesitated one moment — here indeed was another loophole, some- body else to blame. But as he looked into her clear blue eyes he could lie neither to himself nor to her, and he blamed himself. “It’s not your fault Mae,” he said in a trembling voice — a voice out of keeping with his great athlete’s body— “it’s not your fault. I haven’t enough sense to come in out of the rain. I hadn’t enough grit to call up and break the date, because I was afraid Bob Atkinson would get ahead of me. I’m a coward, an overgrown kid, and nothing of a man. By Jove, it’s hard, but it 11 be a lesson. I’ll step down and out, and give you a chance with a real man. Good-bye, Mae.” But Mae did not see the outstretched hand. “It takes two to make a bargain, Mike, and maybe I prefer an overgrown kid; anyhow, I’ll expect you out as usual Sunday evening. Au revoir.” 52 The Eighth Hour RUTH EVANS, ’20 From three-fifteen to four o’clock When our school day should be o’er, Comes a long and dreary time That is known as the eight hour. I hear in the hall before me The tramp of passing feet, And the sound of closing doors, And noises that can’t be “beat.” From the room I see in the twilight Descending the broad hall stair, The many good pupils, both boys and girls Who don’t have to stay in here. A sudden rush from the platform A sudden raid from the chair, And she comes down and tells us We’ll have to stay later there. Do you think, O, Dearest Teacher Because you have made me stay, That I’ll come again tomorrow And never have time to play? And time may go on forever Yes, forever and a day, But eight hour again, no never Thru it will I have to stay. A FAMILIAR LOCALITY My friend, have you heard of the town Nogood, On the banks of the river Slow ; Where the Sometime-or-other fills the air And the soft Go-easys grow? It lies in the valley of What’s-the-use, In the province of Let-her-slide ; It’s the home of the reckless I-don’t-care, Where the Give-it-ups abide. The town is as old as the human race, And it grows with the light of years: It is wrapped in the fog of the idler’s dreams ; Its streets are all paved with discarded schemes And are sprinkled with useless tears. — Ex. 53 The Tale There’s a tale ’bout a Freshie, a dear little Freshie That studied so hard For a 200 card That his head swelled to great size And his poor little body shrank ’fore our eyes . There’s a tale ’bout a Soph, a terrible Soph, That spent all his time (J ust to help out this rhyme) In regaining his size as a Freshie he’d lost, And soon ( !) weighed 400, much to his cost. And a tale ’bout a Junior, lazy old Junioi, Who soon reached the skies, (At least in his eyes) From doing no work, that is work in name Except yelling for “our side ' ’ at every game. And as for the Senior, how ’bout the Senior? Did he disappear? Wholly disappear? Just that, but not because he ranked as the best, But because he flunked out on that final test. COLD O My heart leaps up when I behold A 40 in a test. So it was when school began ; So tis now on every hand ; So may it never be again, Or I shall flunk! For 40 is E as perhaps you know, After 40, then soon below One quickly sinks to cold o. The Student’s Prayer Now I lay me down to rest, I studied hard to do my best ; If I should die before I wake, I won’t have any exams to take. — Ex. Little specks of sawdust, Some sand — about one grain, All, when brought together. Make up a Freshman’s brain. 54 CUBS OF 1918 President Vice-President . . .

DAVIS Here’s to the man who is the friend of us all, Here’s to the man who can hold the students, Here’s to the man who gives us the “pep,” Here’s to our new Superintendent! May he get the people with him as he has the students — Here’s to Mr. Davis! Here’s to his success ! MISS RICHARDS Great was the agitation in the Senior Class and indeed in the whole school when the report was circulated that Miss Richards was to leave us, that she was going west for her health. Though the whole school has lost much, it is perhaps the “Student” staff which has lost more than any other school organization in the loss of its Auditor. The staff is greatly indebted to Miss Richards not only for the help which she has so freely given in the preparation of copy but in the inter- est she has shown. She has always fully realized the aim of the magazine; that it is a typically student publication, and helped us toward this end. And so we wish to thank Miss Richards not only for the help which she has given to the staff but also for the interest she has always shown in all school activities. We a e sorry that ill health made it necessary for her to leave us so suddenly and we hope that she will be able to be back next year. WHAT CAN WE DO? These are war times. What can we do for our country? What can you do? What can our school do, and what are we doing now? We have several answers to these questions. The boys have answered by organizing a Cadet Corps for high school boys over sixteen. Most of our boys are not now 61 qualified for army service but if the war lasts any length of time they will join Uncle Sam’s fighting force. The girls have answered by flocking to the Red Cross. Many of the girls have joined both the Red Cross and First Aid Class. But there are other ways to help than wearing the flag, drilling and knitting. Every one has a back yard even though a small one. Plant it. We are wasteful and extravagant — this is no time for that. Let’s do what we can for this general economy movement. The Senior Class Fas taken the first step by simplifying the hop, and the girls have gone farther by declaring that only simple cotton dresses will be admitted, thus making the affair entirely informal. Organization wins war. Discipline is the hub of the wheel of organiza- tion. Promote Tt. So we can all do our bit. Let’s stand back of the President! Will you do your part? EDUCATION PHILIP AMADON, T8 Education today means infinitely more than it did a few years ago. And yet the average student does not appreciate the advanced steps made in his behalf. Do we see any Abraham Lincolns of today? Is the student of today so desirous of an education and so intent upon securing it that he ciphers on a shingle by fire light? We educate students who arrive at their Senior year without having any distinct vision of the profession which they wish to follow. Whether the student is striving for the position of employer or employee, the one great asset needed most is “brains.” The one great problem of education is to teach the student to think Thinking is an art. Art is learned by practice. Thinking is therefore learned by practice. Educational training endeavors to teach one to work at a task with system and method, in the consciousness that one has acquired the ability to think quickly and logically. A high school education gives one habits of application and study that are invaluable. But often a graduate is compelled to begin at the lowest round of the ladder and there he learns the great lesson that is gained by the discipline of daily drudgery. And yet have we not some great self educated men? There are a few, but that man who is self-educated is usually very narrowly educated. He is educated along certain lines. The man of today must be thoroughly educated. One might as well say that an apprenticeship is of no value to a man who is going to follow a certain trade as to say that an education is of no value to a man who expects to use his brains. Knowledge is now so various, so extensive, so minute that it is im- possible for any one to be a part of this work-a-day world and not have an education. Example of Induction (At a basket ball game at the “Y.” Hat falls from the balcony.) First Person : “There’s Tommy Dillon’s hat.” Second Person : “Helen McColl must be here.” 62 CLASS OF 1916 George Asmati — Port Huron Lumber Co. Leonie Beger — Post-Graduate, High School.

Study: An intelligent pastime for recuperating from social activities of High School life. Literary Society: A gas plant which directs natural gas into its proper channels and which developes other plants for the creation of artificial gas (hot ajr) for a time when the natural gas is exhausted. Freshman: A poor, innocent emerald hued thing, much abused and imposed upon and a something to be pitied, probably one of the mammalia. Sophomore: An overgrown freshie, especially one whose uppermost ex- tremities have swelled to unwarrantable limits, making him self-sufficient, proud and arrogant. Junior: One, who having gathered together enough nerve and know- ledge (?) to enter the lion’s den, has donned long trousers, and commenced to shove. The change from Sophomore to Junior is generally marked by the ambition of the recipient of that honor of getting a “steady girl.” Senior: That goal toward which all pupils strive. An empty headed being who does nothing but smoke, dance and sleep. His main duty is to assume a fatherly expression toward all others. — Ex. The Sophomores saw something green And thought it was the Freshman class, But when they nearer it drew, Alas, it was a looking glass. 64 The Student takes great pleasure in acknowledging the following ex- changes, from which we have received many beneficial ideas.

Mary Schubert: “What’s the joke?” E. Hall: “Nothing, I just thought of something.” She : “They must be engaged. That’s her fourth dance with him.” He : “That’s no sign.” She: “Isn’t it? You don’t know how he dances.” “Pa,” said Clarence, “What’s a burlesque?” “A burlesque, son,” replied father, “is a take-off.” “George,” interrupted mother, who had been listening to the conversa- tion, “if you are going to answer that question, I’ll leave the room.” This sign was seen in the window among the hats of a small millinery store : BUGGY To be sold cheap Freshman Yell. Rah! Rah! Rah! Pa! Pa! Pa! Ma! Ma! Ma! Milk! As a Freshie Sees It: “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. ,, As a Senior Sees It: “Scintillate, scintillate, luminous constellations, Interrogatively, I question your constituent elements; In your prodigious altitude above the terrestial sphere, Similar to a carbonaceous isniotic suspended in the celestial firmament. — Ex. Ruth rode in my new cycle car, In the seat in back of me ; I took a bump at fifty-five — And rode on “Ruthlessly.” — Ex. Mary had a little lamb, With her it would frolic, One day it kissed her on the cheek And died of painter’s colic. — Ex. London Advertisements. “A boy wanted ; who can open oysters with references.” “Bull dog for sale ; will eat anything, very fond of children.” “Wanted, a boy to be partly outside and partly inside the counter.” “Wanted, an organist and a boy to blow the same.” “Lost, near Highgate archway, an umbrella belonging to a gentleman with a bent rib and a bone handle.” “To be disposed of, a mail phaeton, the property of a gentleman with a movable head-piece as good as new.” G. Tappan: “Why do you carry the cane, Stony?” R. Stone: “Because it can’t walk.” “What do you mean, young man, getting home at this hour of the night? Do you see what time it is?” “Aw, how can I see when the clock’s got its hand in front of its face?” “Fuzz had an accident yesterday.” “How was that?” “He fell for a girl in Brown’s and broke a bone paying for her sundae.” Miss Lakin: “Can anyone tell me the question of the moment?” Bright One: “What time is it?” 66 MILDRED CARLISLE, ’17 The High School, this year, has been the scene of a great deal of plea- sure a« well as of hard work. The Seniors have given assemblies throughout the year which have been attended by large crowds, and have furnished much pleasure and recreation for an hour and a half on Friday afternoons for those worn out by a week of strenuous work. The graduation class is making great preparations for the commence- ment festivities, an unusual feature of which will be a Class Day program to which their parents will be invited. The Seniors will wear their caps and gowns, and Senior talent will be displayed to its best advantages. This will occur on the afternoon of Commencement Day. In the evening the mighty Seniors will receive their well earned diplomas. A banquet is being planned, which will be given at one of our numerous hotels. This event is one to which all class members are looking forward, as it will probably be the last time when the whole class will sup together. Also, if King Sol is King, there will be a class picnic during Commencement week. The Freshmen this year were introduced to High School social life when the Seniors entertained for them one Friday night after school. Each Senior escorted three Freshmen to the “big dance’’ and later to delicious refresh- ments. The Freshmen seemed to enjoy themselves and the Seniors enjoyed being host. “My daughter,” and his voice was stern, “You must set this matter right — At what time did the boy leave Who sent his card last night?” “His work was pressing, father dear, And his love for it was great; He took his leave and went away Before a quarter of eight.” Then a twinkle in her bright blue eyes. And her dimples deeper grew, “ ‘Tis surely no lie to tell him that, For a quarter of eight is two.” — Ex. 67 Senior: “How’s everything?” Junior: “Oh, she’s all right.” A boyabus kissibus sweeta girlorum, Girlibus likibus, wanta somorum, Papabus hearibus louda smakorum, Kikibus boyabus outa doorum. P. Amadon : “Isn’t it surprising how gas bills run up?” E. Stringer: “Not so surprising, considering how many feet they have.” Judge: “Name?” Prisoner: “Smith.” Judge : “Occupation ?” Prisoner : “Locksmith.” Judge: “Officer, locksmith up.” A New Way. E. Chamberlain: “How do you get in the Bijou for nothing?” R. Fox: “Don’t tell anyone. I walk in backwards and the doorkeeper thinks I am coming out.” Customer: “Where can I buy powder?” Floor Walker: “Face, gun, bug or seidlitz, madam?” Pa: “Do you know what time your sister’s young man left last night?” Little Brother: “I think it was about one, dad; because I heard him say when he was going, “Just one ! Only one !” Little Willie: “She’s me oldest sister.” Chollie : “And who comes after her?” Little Willie: “You ’n a nudder guy.” Once little Mildred Carlisle received three dolls among her Christmas gifts. Her abundant supply caused her to become slightly careless, and one day the arm of one came off, exhibiting the sawdust stuffing. “Well, you dear, obedient dolly!” she exclaimed. “I knew I told you to chew your food fine but I didn’t think you would chew it as fine as all that.” 68 i eaclier : I can t find words in the dictionary that are warm enough to express my opinion of you !” Pupil : “I don ' t doubt it, the words you want aren’t in the dictionary.” - There were three pairs of twins in a family. The first they named Peter and Repeater. The second, Kate and Duplicate. The third, Max and Climax. Senior: “I wonder if Smith meant anything personal by giving me a ticket to a lecture on fools?” Junior: “Why?” Senior: “Because the ticket says admit one.” Mr. Carlisle : My son, the only advice I can give you is to start at the bottom and work up, no matter what may be your calling.” Harold: “But, father, I intend to be a well-digger.” “What is your name, little boy?” “Joshua Shadrach Lemuel Yotts!” “Well, well! Who gave you that name?” “I dunno, yet, but Pm on deir trail.” A. Taylor — “Why is a hen immortal?” C. Sperry — “Dunno, why?” A. Taylor — “Because her son never sets.” 1 eacher If your father gave your mother $3.00 today and $10.00 to- morrow, what would she have?” Small Boy — “She’d have a fit.” In a Montana hotel is a notice which reads : “Boarders taken by the day, week or month. Those who do not pay promptly will be taken by the neck.” Waiter — “Will you have pie, sir?” G. Maitland — “Is it compulsory?” Waiter — “No, it’s raspberry.” ‘When I graduate I’ll step into a position of $200,000 per,” modestly exclaimed the Senior. J “Per what?” asked the Freshie. “Per-haps,” answered the Soph. Miss Moore — “Give the principal parts of occido.” Knowing One— “Oh, Kiddo! Oh, Kid-dearie! Oh, kiss-us-some Seniors, attention! Who does this remind you of? “Empty your mouth and put it in the waste basket.” Miss Northrup — “Since Shakespeare and Marlowe were both born in 1564 they were ” (expecting the answer, “Contemporaries”). Bright Pupil — “Twins.” 69 Miss Westbrook — “Make a sentence with toward in it.” Bright Freshie — “The boy tored his pants.” Nameless Youth: “Did she say anything dove-like about me?” “Yes, she said you were pigeon-toed.” Mrs. Naumann — “Give me a verb that takes the dative.” W.

My teeth are all right.” Grocer: “Well, little girl, what can I do for you?” Little Girl : “Mother sent me to get change for a dollar, and said to tell you she would give you the dollar tomorrow.” Murderer: “Is this the guy who is to defend me?” Judge: “Yes; he is your lawyer.” Murderer: “If he should die could I have another?” Judge: “Yes.” Murderer: “Can I see him alone for a few minutes?” Willie Green, Sad regrets; Aged nine, Cigarettes. 70 ELIMINATION Ten little maidens blushing in a line: One got nausea, then there were nine.

If any one pretends to be asleep when the box passes, it awakens him witli a watchman’s rattle, and a kodak takes his picture.

Simplicity and dignified elements have been perfected in the Studebaker body owing to the constant refining and perfecting of good basic lines. The lines are long, clean and sweeping. There is not a single thing to interfere wtih the smooth continuous flow of the Studebaker body, from the tip of the radiator to the rear of tonneau. One of the first things you will notice when you come in to see the Series 1 8 Studebaker is its rare elegance of finish. And the strikingly original gun- metal gray finish of the Studebaker will always look rich and new. Twenty- five separate paint and varnish operations insure its permanency.
