W e know the time is nigh W hen, with the knowledge we have gathered here We will our fortunes try. The strength we’ve gained from working hard, Friendships and pleasures, too, W ill soon be used in some good way In aid or service true. II Verse The class of nineteen twenty’s motto’s Loyalty. Be loyal one and all. W e’ll live up to our aims most royally And never let them fall. All coming years will bring to mind The scenes so bright and gay, And all past woes we leave behind And step out on our way. Chorus There’s a score as a part of our class’s year. We are four score strong in number, There’s a score we’ve made in studies here. At our scores in life you’ll wonder. —A. BROWNING The music for this song was composed by Adeline Lymburner, ’20. Senior Consul: Anyone found loitering or talking in the hall, their per- manent excuses for Saturday will be forfeited.

The chap referred her To his dad. Soph. — “Gee, that was a hot test.” H. Fenner — “Not for me. I got zero.” Disgusted Teacher — “W hat is your head for, anyway?” Russell Wonderlic — “To keep my collar on.” JUNIORS President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Class Advisors, Francis Appel Frances Smith - George Mclnnis Eleanor Meisel Miss W oodward and Miss Blake Boys Allen, Frank Allen, John Appel, Francis Armstrong, Harmon Barthow, Omar Beedon, Colborn Black, Eugene Conat, Charles Corsant, Jay De Gravv, Kenneth Dimick, Eugene Fenner, Russel Hoffman, Edwin Holth, Carl Manuel, Guy Mclnnis, George Miller, Eldred Noel, Herbert Parsons, Edward Philp, Byron Ross, Donald Simms, Russel St. Denis, Paul Stocks, Eldon Stuart, Roy Taylor, Jack Girls Beckton, Josephine Berkeley, Thelma Black, Helen Colville, Winnifred Dickinson, Viola Duck, Lillian Fox, Lillian Green, Dorris Gruel, Louise Hayman, Martha Hennigar, Beulah Hillock, Myrtle Holland, Frances Jenks, Helen ✓Eee, Rosabel Ludy, Mildred Mclnnis, Mildred McKay, Gladys Marshall, Janet i Meisel Eleanor Miller, Lila Moore, Ruth Orr, Dorothy Powell, Winifred Powrie, Nina t Ryan, Jeanne Seagraves, Marion ; Schell, Elaine Schroenrock, Florence Schuck.

It is the build- ing material for four years, and the life of the school during that time de- pends upon the spirit and ideals which have been developed during the first year. I he class of 19 23 came into Port Huron High School in September from various schools in the city and rural districts. It has been the work of our teachers to make out of us a loyal bunch of students who shall be able to uphold the honor of the Red and White. We trust we have a good foun- dation. The school spirit of the class of 1923 has been the best ever. We have gone “Over the Top” in every school project and in our scholarship. We have cooperated gladly in all the plans the Seniors have worked out and are very happy because of our pleasant relations with them. We wish them great success as they leave Port Huron High School and will ask them to keep an eye on the Class of 1923 and watch us grow. RUSSELL WONDERLIC, Pres. ’23. W anted — A seamstress.

Or is it because the roses bloom, Or the bees hum in the clover Or is it the golden weather That gives you the soul of a rover? Is it the thought of days to come And the joy that each one brings That fills you with a happiness ’Till your heart just fairly sings? No, his not one of all these But because you’ve followed the rule. Tried so hard, your teachers to please And finished one whole year of school. V. RUTH EVANS ’20. Miss Ross to Eleanor Beale, in sewing — “Eleanor come here, I’ll cut your neck out.” Leonard Sims listening to Civics instruction — “What Miss Carlisle is saying goes in one ear and out the other.” Russell Wonderlic — “Well, what is there to stop it?” Allen Carlisle, coming home from hunting, yells at a young colored youngster, “Here you blankety blank ? ?!! little coon, get away from those guns.” Colored Kid — “See heah mista white man, doan yo’ call me no names — my name is Ahenah Jackson Carlisle.” L. King — “In what course do you expect to graduate?” D. Deal — “Why, in course of time, I suppose.” Miss Kress — “Why do words have roots?” Russell Simms — “So the language can grow, 1 guess.” “Bill: “Say, you always seem to have good looking office girls. Where do you find them ?” Bud: “L T suallv, in the rear office arranging their hair.” Miss Rush : “Upon whom does the Constitution say that the duties of the Presidency shall fall in case of the disability of the President?” Edw. Parsons: “Upon his wife, I think.” PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE 1 here are all sorts of goals in life. One person wants to be President, a few want to be millionaires, and lots have other ambitions. For gaining each goal there is a reward — Success. What is success? It can not be measured in dollars and cents. It surely is not the achieving of Fame — nor yet the realization of our dreams. For man daily watches the growth of his ideals, and, the fulfillment of his wishes, only to cast them aside, for some higher, better goal. Success comes with doing the work set before us and doing it well, who does the best his cicumstance allows, does well, acts nobly — angels could do no more. Climbing steadily up the long ladder .of life, one rung at a time surmounting the difficulties and turning neither from your purpose or conception of right you will truly reach the goal and gain the great reward — Success. May Success attend each and every member of the class of nineteen twenty. CHARLES TAYLOR. HIGH SCHOOL COLONY (1916-1920) Colony Founded 1916 In the year 1916 a sturdy band of Indian colonists from Washington, Jef- ferson, and Lincoln Islands went forth in search of new lands and experien- ces, some for the novelty of the thing, others (although in the minority ) with a more serious purpose in view. They in company with other settlers com- ing from the distant land. South Fark ; settled on a beautiful spot near Black River. Michigan — now a bustling, lively High School — and founded a settle- ment, known as Freshmen. Though of a rather barbarous and boisterous character, the company was received kindly by the natives, land in A. H. being allotted to them. Rules and regulations were soon drawn up and at their head they placed as Governor. Vance Sickles, not being willing to rec- ognize the authority of the native ruler. Miss Lakin. Coming from such a distinctly different atmosphere, as they did. the manners and customs of the people were rather bewildering, putting it very mildly. Growth and Importance In the vear 1017 new settlers arrived, increasing the population of the settlement, so that it might be termed the village of Sophomores. Up to this time no new land had been acquired. Now towards the end of the year 1917 other regions were added to the village, obtained through the en- ergy and forethought of the band. On the land newly acquired a new village was built — A. H. being practically given over to the natives, on the condition that it might be used by them if the occasion should arise. A few battles were fought which forever established the fact that the Sophomores were an independent colony and somewhat subdued the impudence and arrogance of neighboring tribes. During this period, the settlement expanded both politically and educationally. A movement was started agitating self-gov- ernment, which was begun when Eugene Lewis held the governmental chair. Although, since the people were unprepared for such an advanced step, and in the end failed, still it showed an advancement in democracy. At an early date, it was quite evident that the village contained persons of genius. A Christmas play, in which Eugene Lewis, Isabel Annas, and others, figured prominently, was staged in the town-hall, and was considered a great success. Times of Progress — 1919 So expanded and grown, the village soon assumed the appearance of a good-sized towm, the honor of the governmental office, being bestowed upon Albert Hogan. Their advancement and progress naturally excited jealousy, and not a few r skirmishes. Especially was this so with the tribe to the South of them. This tribe nursed various grievances against the Juniors, which the rapid ly progressing town was now called. Indignation against these up- starts smouldered on, deep within them. However, since not enough “pep” and courage was exhibited by their adherents, the Juniors plodded steadily on, and were the life and spirit of the whole region. Tribal shouts and yells we re instituted by them, far excelling those of any of the other tribes. A trivial affair occurred during this year, which further estranged the tw r o tribes. It had been the custom of the squaws of the opposing tribe to wear their hair in a long braid, sometime during the year, a custom claim- ed as their prerogative. How r ever, the privilege was usurped by the Juniors, maddening and infuriating them, on this account. The whole affair w r as a very trivial incident, but it brought the Juniors into the lime light, revealing their “pep,” spunk and initiative. Throughout the wdiole period between 1916-1919 one can see a gradual and steady progress along all lines. Seniors ! The place which had been the little village of Freshman is now a city metropolis. The result polled at the last election proclaimed Charles Taylor, Mayor of the City and Isabel MacLaren his assi stant. This last statement shows the progress made politically, inasmuch as Woman Suffrage had been obtained. Under the auspices of the Senior Council, new traffic regulations were established. Through the efforts of this same organization, self government was again tried, and because of the splendid cooperation of all concerned, proved a success. One must not think that the social side of life was being neglected. Far be it from such. The annual Senior-b reshman party was held, at which all the Indian Chiefs and squaws arrived, attired in gala attire. In honor of the athletic heroes of the city, a Basket Ball banquet was given. Honoring these same popular young gentlemen community meetings were staged in the City Auditorium, at which the long pent up and warlike spirit of the tribe was at last given vent. For as natives of the city, Seniors, one must restrain one’s more natural feelings and emotions and present the appearance of be- ing citified, dignified, and all the other “fieds.” MAUD JONES.

A little later in the day We find “Al” at his duty. “What have you got that’s good?” -we say, Um-m-m ! Tootie-Frootie, Frooty-Tootie. He dishes up a great big scoop, And on it puts the trimmin ' We grab a shovel, then fall to, And eat like wild, wild wimmin. NAN MARJORIE. (Incorp.) Miss Carlisle: “How do bees dispose of their honey?” R. Wonderliek: “They cell it.” We have noticed that Marguerite Morris and Joyce Burlingham have take n up the study of “Art.” Poets are not the only persons who have Longfellows. Ask Al. Hogan. Mr. Smith : “If the earth rotated 17 times as fast as it does nobody would weigh anything.” E. Welsh: “That would be fine.” Aint it funny? You take a girl to a dance and walk her around back- wards for ten minutes and she thanks you. Try taking her out for a walk and ask her to walk backwards for ten min. What would she say? Prophecp of 1920 Class As I sat by the sea-shore watching the foaming billows, the incoming and outgoing tide, I became as it were in a dream and saw in the distance a small dark object on the crest. I watched until the waves tossed it at my feet ; and found to my surprise, a small black case with a tiny pad lock. I tried to open it, but alas! it was locked. After turning the box over I dis- covered a tiny key fastened by a gold thread to one of the hinges. Eagerly, I broke the thread, placed the key in the lock and lo ! it opened as by magic touch. Inside lay a folded manuscript, yellow with age, and to my astonish- ment, I read the names of my class-mates and myself, who had graduated from Port Huron High School in 1920. Anxiously, I peered into the contents and found that Alfred Browning, who was very successful in plays during his school life, was now a great actor, using his melodious voice for the benefit of the people throughout die United States, as some of his favorite selections have been reproduced by the Edison Victrola Company and are travelling over the land.

In the mountains of the far-off west it was a wonderful night. The moon was just rising above the horizon and here and there in the sky a few stars twinkled. In a clearing by a bubbling spring sat a young man staring at his camp fire. Xear him was his tent and camp paraphernalia while close by two horses were grazing in the long grass. All was peace. Ah ! but the young man’s mind was in a tumult. He was deciding a question, an important question. Jack Vail was an engineer. Two years had passed since a large mining company had first employed him and just one month ago he had been sent on a mission. But when he started he knew what the verdict must be when he returned. For some time it had been suspected that gold was to be found on the Morgan mountain. His chief had sent him forth to take an estimate of the value of the metal and his report was to be — “No good.” The land was own- ed by lames Morgan and if he suspected that his property was so valuable, he would not sell. For this verdict Jack was to become one of the chief engineers of a mining company in South America. His position rested on his decision. Self-respect or — , oh hang it, why should anyone take time to decide anything so one-sided but yet — and so his thoughts ran on. Mrs. Morgan had been more than kind. Old Jim had pulled him from beneath a sliding stone, and they had taken care of Max, his bull deg, when he had been hurt. Also, so ran his trend of thought, the lot of the Morgan family had been hard. Year after year they had held out against poverty, always giving aid to others. Yes, and what about Morgan s dream of a ranch in the valley, the proposed education of the daughter and the cure for the war shocked son. Again, there was this to be thought of. His position-to-be was one of importance — he could show his brothers and sisters that it was in him to make good. Added to this he would have wealth, position and respect. His name would become an honored one. While weighing this problem Jack had stretched himself on the ground in the shadows. For a while he listened to the night sounds and then he heard a bell, no — yes, he did. Again it sounded. Greatly amazed Jack Vail looked around. Why, he was in school. Row after row of boys and girls filled the Auditorium. On the platform stood a man. He was pleading for the support of the school. Then the man turned to a line of boys who stood apart from the others and said: “Flay the game squarely boys, whether we win or lose.” Just then Jack stirred and muttered, “You can just bet that we’ll win.” Picture after picture floated before his mental vision but none satisfied the dreamer. The young man struggled to a sitting position and looked around. Again he was amazed. Why, where was he? Slowly memory asserted itself. The dream still seemed real and his thoughts flew back to his home. Jack heard his father say, ‘‘My son, remember that your mother expects you to do your best, do it as a man as though she was here.” The next day Jack spoke to an assembly of men. The engineer told of the wealth of gold found on the mountain. After this session Mr. Morgan thanked him again and again. How his heart did swell and expand to over- flowing. Again it was evening. But this time Jack Vail was at the Morgan home, surrounded by love and happiness. In the midst of this joy a knock sounded at the door and upon opening the screen the man of Jack’s thoughts was dis- covered standing there. It was the President of the Mining Company. 1 his is what he said, ‘‘Good work, Vail; I’m proud of you. It seems that you have absorbed the slogan, Do it well and do it fairly.” But Jack re- plied, “Not altogether that for I have just — Here his voice trailed off as he met the eyes of Janice Morgan. And this is what he murmured, “Pray, God, may I always play the game squarely.” GLADYS LOWE. In English Eight Class Poets have written long and voluminously on the pleasing subject of ‘Trom My Study Windows,” and similar pleasing topics. We must expect this. Poets must give vent to their pent up emotions. Their poetry is even nice to read if you have nothing else to do. But horrors ! Don’t believe any of the wild and airy remarks. They are quite too old fashioned with their insin- uations that scenery influences the mind and thoughts. Port Huronites realize this and therefore understand that to look from the High School windows on something pleasant would seriously injure our well-being. Especially in English class is this true. If instead of the well known scene we now see we should see a lovely park what would happen? Possibly it might be an ideal spot for recreation from school hours. A nicely sloping lawn leading to the river, with wide paths flanked on either side by sweeping trees would be scattered through it. Perhaps at one end would be a tennis court and at the other well constructed steps leading to the bridge. It is great- ly feared that the High School students could never survive the shock with all inspiration for future brilliant remarks in class gone. Instead of the above mentioned dream we see the clump-yard stretching gracefully out over the landscape, and the muddy river with its boat sirens like fog horns. In the foreground it is a beautifully inspiring billboard upon which marvelous creatures in charming attitudes and gorgeous creations are pictur- ed. One wonders if “chaw-well” tobacco is as good as it looks and if it is possible to eat “two-in-one” bread. Nothing could give a more wonderfu 1 scope to the imagination than this scene. We dream on. “Miss will give a summarv of the chapter we have just discussed.” “Oh !” GLADYS ADAMS, ’20. Curlers It all happened because of the wretched hair curlers. He never realized it but it was so. Billy, the lofty athlete and avoider of girls, had been captured because of West Electric Hair Curlers. Betty who realized it groaned at the thought and jealously guarded the secret from inquisitive but well meaning friends. It was afternoon and time for punctual persons to be in their session rooms. Hurried footsteps ascended the stairs — a pair of anxious eyes hope- fully searched the hall for signs of life and the silence of the five-minute period before classes, smote the straining ears of — Betty. Hastily she jammed var- ious packages into her locker, one of which fell unnoticed to the floor. At the same moment the mildly interested eyes of Billy, who chanced along upon an errand, spied the yellow cardboard upon the floor. He hesitated — but in a mo- ment she had passed into the room. Indifferently he picked it up — the classes were already passing — with a startled exclamation he read the inscription and guiltily stuffed the card into his pocket. Afternoon and a study room found Billy staring vacantly into space. His seatmate and sometime crony with friendly assurance began to search Billy’s pocket for an erasure. The search was halted by the appearance of the fate- ful yellow card, this friend’s eyes grew round and wide. But Billy turned at the critical moment. What a sight unfolded before his horrified eyes! The yellow card was being held up for the amusement of other friends and a mock- ing voice across the aisle enquired if Billy were going in for marcelles. At this insinuation of effeminity, Billy growled an unintellegible reply, which was received with delight by the scofFers. The innocent cause of this, her attention attracted by loud whispers and snickering looked back and took in the scene with a glance. By some intui- tion or thought the meaning of the lost card became plain to her and as Betty ' s eyes met Billy ' s, he braced himself to meet the ridicule of the boy’s boldly. Three fifteen! There was a scurrying to and fro in the hall, groups ot chattering boys and girls formed, others dissolved calling back a forgotten bit of interest. One couple especially came under notice and received here and there a stare or whispered word. This boy handed the girl a yellow card which she blushingly placed in her books. If one had been standing near enough he would have heard — “and when the classes were passing 1 didn t know what to do, so I just put those curlers in my pocket, intending to return them later. Say, Betty, may I walk home with you, then I can tell you the rest ?” Frieds ad acquaintances stared and wondered. Was this Billy the lofty athlete, the avoider of girls who now walked out with one, tucking her books under his arm and smiling down tenderly upon her? MILUCENT WEBSTER, ' 20. C. Hill — “Have you ever noticed how often you say “And so on, and so on ?” N. Marsden — “Oh, yes, but it never applies to buttons.” A. Challenge Something for our 1020 Student, it must be quite worth while, For every boy and girl will read and pass it with a smile. We need’s must all be cheerful as our High School days go by, For days will come and days will go, but none like these we’ll ever know. Only one “teen” age can be ours, the joys of life to ebb and flow, On billows deep we never glide, in shallow streams we love to row. Life’s far too short to grieve and pine because things don’t fall right in line, Well, never mind, we’ll better know, when we have older and much wiser grown. We feel quite sure our thoughts will change as in the great wide world we enter. But one thing true we all must do, that’s find our job and on that all our thoughts to center. Our dear advisors have wisely woven threads of gold into memory’s chain. And quickened into life a thought, but for them, might have dormant lain. We thought them harsh, sometimes we didn’t reason, But then we guess it is just our season. We’re in the springtimes of our life, All buds must bloom, then blossom out in all their glory. So we will forward go, our task to meet. With a happy smile each day we’ll say, “I never went before this way, Of it I must make the very best of any day in all m y quest.” If we from our High School days go forth, with no ambitions more than fun, We’ll find our lives in great neglect. Our journey has but just begun, We have but one life that God has given, the best of it to make let’s strive, And if we do — we’ll find this world is not all dead — but much alive. To higher planes we may aspire, to noble fields let each go forth. The world needs men and women plenty. Let’s all make good, O Class of “1920.” —ADELINE LYMBURNER. THE PSALM OF DEATH (Apologies) Tell me not, O weary Seniors As you pass the school house door; That you seem not to have been years On that dreadful twelfth grade floor. Life is real! Life is earnest! And an “A” was made the goal. Flunk thou must and there remainst If absent when they call the roll. Not enjoyment and not sorrow Can a Senior e’er foretell; But let him skip a class tomorrow, And the teacher give him well. Teachers prim, strict, unfeeling, Tho’ our hearts be stout and brave, Give us theorems, send us reeling Off to Caesar and our grave. In the great disheartening schoolroom, Tn the constant daily strife. Be not like those verdant freshmen — Be a Senior full of life. Trust not teachers, how e’er pleasant, May her smiling visage be. She just waits till you ' re not present Then delights to mark you “D.” Lives of Seniors all remind 11s We can learn to squander time. And departing leave behind us Initials cut in every line. Initials that perhaps a freshman. Seeing them may imitate. And when caught by some instructor Suffer a more dreadful fate. Let us then be up and going. Thankful to no longer wait. And if you find us round a’crowing It’s because we graduate. D. G. W., “WHAT’S IN A NAME” Is Dorothy French? Who is Charles’ Taylor? Is Evelyn Jack (V) son? Why is Miriam Hardy?

H. Jones A. E. F. this mud was unendurable. For a whole week he and several others had been waiting in the reserve trenches. This does not mean that they were out of danger but rather where they might at any moment be shelled and that without the satisfaction of a few return shots. They were attempting to live in thick, undryable mud. So you may understand why they were disgusted with the army. But Jones had other troubles. Quite frequently one of the Salvation Army Girls came and urged him to “try a doughnut.” It happened that Private Jones had two great dislikes. First, he almost feared any woman and second, he abhorred doughnuts. The reason for the first is unexplainable. For the second his dislike was caused in early childhood by a careless cook, who at one time left a half day’s batch of doughnuts within his reach. Naturally, he had eaten him- self sick. At present the very odor of a fresh doughnut reminded him all too vividly of that fatal day. And here he was in mud, with Salvation Army girls offering him dough- nuts! He tried to avoid the girls because of the hurt expression on their faces if he refused, but was not usually successful. So you can see he had some excuse for being slightly homesick although he wouldn’t admit that he was. This feeling was heightened by hearing mess call and realizing that he must eat another mess of mud and beans. How he longed for home, a warm fire, dry clothes and a hot delicious supper! Oh, Boy, howdy! Fried chicken in the real southern style, sweet potatoes, and apple pie. The thought was too much for him and with much growling he dove through the hole in the mud wall to mess. Several hours later, seated at the mouth of the dugout, he noticed a tray of doughnuts bearing down upon him. He dove for the entrance but a silvery voice hailed him. “Wouldn ' t you like a doughnut?” Something held him; he turned slowly and saw behind the tray the prettiest, bluest eyes imagin- able. With an effort he lowered his eyes and saw a dainty nose and a pair of adorably, rosy lips. He stared dumfounded. “Won’t you have a fresh dough- nut?” he was demurely asked. Jones gulped hard, them stammered, “Why, I-er-no, that is, I don’t care for-er, Yes, please,” As she handed him one, for a long blissful second she looked him squarely in the eyes. Then blushing slightly she turned and hastened away. As he regained his senses, he realized that he was still holding the doughnut. It was one of the hated type, but in his eyes it seemed different, more attractive. He took a bite. Well it wasn’t so bad after all. He wished that she’d come again. He kept watch for her for the next day or two but did not see her. One night, seated on the edge of a crude bunk, he allowed his fancy to roam. He saw ' a Salvation Army lass, with blue eyes and a kissable pair of rosy lips. He stretched out his arms to clasp the vision, but instead of what he expected he met a khaki blouse and the rough face of his bunky. His bunky leaped aw r ay with a yell, “Whassamatter w r ith you?” “Aw, forget it,” advised the other somewhat sheepishly. “I was just dreaming.” “Hull!” snorted his bunky, Peters. “If you dream like that I’ll get another sidekick.” Without another word, Jones rolled into his bunk and had dreams of — oh ! such dreams. The next day he didn’t catch a glimpse of his blue-eyed dream or her doughnuts. So occupied was he with gloomy thoughts that he failed to notice a mes- senger of the three-inch variety with his number on it. Crash ! and Jones fell himself falling into a great pit. Faintly he wondered why his shoulder ached and wdiy his leg wouldn ' t w T ork. He awoke in one of a long row of white beds, all occupied. A tall nurse forced his head back on the soft pillows. “Just be quiet now,” she warned. “How did I get here?” “You were struck a glancing blow r on the shoulder and got some shrapnel in your leg,” she explained, “I think that’s all.” “That,” said Tones, “is a plenty.” Then he went to sleep. He was told that upon his recovery he would be invalided back to the U. S. A. ”1 don’t want to leave my company,” w ' as the answer the Surgeon re- ceived. He was considerably surprised for most of the men were perfectly willing to go home. “My boy,” the Surgeon explained, “it will be a long time before you can walk without crutches let alone going into active service.” The surgeon left and a nurse who was passing by stopped to console him. “I know r how you feel about leaving before you’ve seen active service, but it can’t be helped.” “Doggone it,” he burst out, “I don’t care a hang about the active service but if I go now I can’t find — .” He stopped short but seeing her interest told her the wdiole story. When he had finished the nurse ex- claimed, “You poor boy,” and ihen, much to his astonishment, leaned over and kissed him. He feel asleep wondering why she was so sympathetic. After about four months he reached P rest, and after a long delay. New York. ' The home town soon welcomed him with open arms and celebrated at the same time the ending of the war. His mother had a real supper ready af- ter the “doings,” a supper that surpassed, if possible, his trench imaginations. But some how everything seemed flat. Even the great apple pie was not quite as good as usual. For there was a longing for the taste of a wonderful doughnut. The evening passed uncomfortably as many of the neighbors dropped in to hear about his experiences. What could he say! All he remem- bered was a pair of blue eyes and a Salvation Army uniform. He excused himself on the plea of sleepiness and went to dream of blue. eyes and blonde doughnuts. The next morning after a breakfast of griddle cakes and syrup, his mother asked, “Why don ' t you walk down town and see how much it has changed.” “Guess I will .Mother.” A few minutes later found Private Jones wandering in his old haunts. He wandered around for a short while and happened to pass a new bakery. A familiar odor assailed him. He glanced around and saw a girl filling a bag with doughnuts. As his shadow fell across the win- dow, she glanced up and the startled doughboy looked into a pair of blue eyes. It was his Salvation Army girl. They stared at each other a brief second, then she blushed, smiled slight- ly, and turned away. Jones stood staring at the doughnuts and reviewing all his wild plans to meet her, but they were of no use. At last he summoned all his nerve and entered the shop. Looking around he saw the girl behind the counter. Her back wa s toward him. Leaning against the counter, he smiled sweetly and said as the girl of his dreams turned around, “Please, Miss, may I have another doughnut?” HARRY ROSS 20. NOTE PASSING A mail service has been developed in P. H. H. S. that has needed no fac- ulty supervision to insure its success. This is called note passing. Just why this is done is hard to surmize. It seems, however, to be due to the fact tliac many important ideas must be confided in some one before they are forgot- ten. Every person who handles a note, takes great care that it reaches its des- tination. This insures a speedy and fairly safe delivery. With such coopera- tion there is a remarkably efficient service in some of the study halls. There are several types of notes that are handled in this manner. There is the so- called “mushy” type that is read, in some instances, to the Freshmen to instill a horror of the wicked system. The purely “business” notes, are carried from room to room. This is done to allow the teachers to assent, by signa- ture, to a single session. Many “special delivery” notes are sent to rhe un- suspecting victim by an entirely innocent agent. Rumors are abroad that some notes make arrangements for a meeting without seconds. We hope that the custom of duelling is not coming into vogue again. These small folded objects cause a great many misunderstandings so that it is best to live up to the old adage: “Don’t write, and fear no woman.” A. A. B.

APPLIED MATHEMATICS ] sometimes wonder whats the use of squaring the hypotenuse, or why, unless it be to tease Things must be called ; sosceles. Of course, I know that mathematics Are Mental stunts and acrobatics, To give the brain a drill gymnastic And make grey matter more elastic, If that’s why Euclid has employed Trapezium and trapezoid, I wonder? Yet it seems to me That all the plane geometry one need is just the simple feat What e’er you do, make both ends meet. — Exchange. IN ROOM M It isn’t the sun that we mind, Though truly it sometimes does glare, It isn’t the barges that wind Up the stream, that cause us to swear It isn’t the view that we get Of billboards and rusty old tin, Of the empty bean cans, And the old battered pans. It’s the trucks with their roar and their din. It isn’t the lessons we mind, It isn’t the marks on our card. It isn’t the tests, that we find Are lengthy or overly hard, It isn’t the rules that aggravate. Though truly they do make 11s sore. It’s the noise that we hear From afar and from near. Of the trucks with their din and their roar. Oh ! the din and roar of the trucks, The trucks and their deafening din They rattle and bang and clatter and clang, Till the windows fairly fall in. Roaring exhaust, screeching siren And soft hum of motors deluxe Are the worst of our woes. But the chief of our foes, Are the roar, and the din, of the trucks. JAMES MILLER, ’20. The “One-Way” System With Apologies to J. W. Riley. I. 1 he “One Y ay system in the halls has come to our school to stay. An make the pupils keep to the right and drive confusion away. The “children” needed some exercise, an there was no room for a “gym,” So this way was invented whereby they might drill in the hallways dark an’ dim, An’ all we other “children,” when our daily work is done. We go to eighth hour session room an’ lias the mostest “fun” A-list’nin to the yarns ’at the teachers tells about. An ' the Council ’ll git you, ef you don’t watch out ! II. Onc’t there was a little boy who wouldn’t mind the rules. So when he went to English class with the other little “jewels,” The students heerd him holler an’ the teachers heerd him bawl ; An’ when they went to find him, he wasn’t there at all. An’ they seeked him in the session rooms, and down the hallways dim, An’ they looked around the office, an ' most everywhere for him ; But all they ever found was t hist his books and runabout, An’ the Council will git you, if you don ' t watch out ! III. An’ onc’t there was a little girl who wouldn’t keep in line. An’ ’specially on the stairs she was out ’most all the time. An’ onc’t when she was out of line and teacher saw her there. She mocked him an’ she shocked him, an’ said she didn’t care. An’ just as she was turning to go to Latin class. There stood two great big stalwart youths, who wouldn’t let her pass, An’ they took her to the office, for she knowed what she’s about. An ' the Council will get you if you don’t watch out! IV. An’ then the teachers tell us when the day is dark. An’ you go to History class an’ get a rather dreadful mark. An’ you hear the principal scolding some person who did wrong, An’ you went to a mass meeting, an’ they wouldn ' t sing one song. You’d better mind your parents and vour teachers “fond and dear,” An’ learn your lessons every day so you can pass each year. An’ heed the “One Way” system an’ the gong that quells all doubt. Or the Council will get you if you don’t watch out ! MARY YanVALKENBURG ’21. JUST LIKE A WOMAN In these days of highway robbery and theft, everyone secretly plans some defense or escape for themselves. Jane, seventeen year old daughter of the Burns’, eagerly hoped for a chance to heroically save the family silver. She wanted to see her name in print and beneath it a thrilling tale of how she had rescued the valuables of the house from burglars. Every night she slept with two hatpins — woman’s defense — under her pillow. Her twin brother, Billy, the tease and mischief-maker of the family, learned of her plan and accordingly “cooked up” something. One night, just after the clock struck twelve, a disturbance outside of Jane’s room awakened her — she was all attention ! The door was pushed open and the moonlight distinctly outlined a man’s figure. Two eyes peered through a villainous looking mask as he steadily advanced. Grasping the two hatpins in her hand, Jane sprang from her bed — ready to scratch and stab the man who had dared to enter their house. Another step towards her — now was the time to do the deed. A slight scream — she swooned and fainted — just like a woman! It was brother Bill to the rescue this time. E. MEISEL ’ 21 . I STUDY Oh dear, I ' ve got so much to do I’ll never get it done. But I don’t suppose I’ll finish it Until its been begun. A polygon with 2n sides Now let me see! — Oh yes I don’t think I can do that one. It’s the hardest yet I guess.

CHOICE BITS FROM JUNIOR BLUE-BOOKS. 4 St. Clair River divides Sarnia from Port Huron, but Black River doesn’t divide anything — it just flows through the middle of the town.” “The smallpox at Castlewood was very desotious. Many of the servants of the Lord got it and died of it. When they heard of the small-pox everyone was scared and fled to another town.” Another account of the smallpox incident begins: “Henerv was a friend of Nancies and had been to see her at the Inn when it started and had held her brother who was coming down with it.” SMILE When the world seems sad and dreary, And everything goes the wrong way, — When neighbors’ chickens come into your garden, And the horses eat too much hay. W hen you sit around by your lonesome self Thinking of your troubles the while, — Forget ’em ! Stand up on your good supports And look at the world and smile! If the taxes are so heavy That you haven ' t the money to pay, Don’t think there’s a better time coming. But get down on your knees and pray! If you know you need a suit of clothes. And your wife simply can’t keep in style. — Well, just pass ’em by and wear your rags, — But for goodness sake! DO smile! So with all these little worries, When everything seems no good,— Just keep right on a-living And do the best one possibly could. If you think Good Luck should come to you now, Instead of after a while, — Ah, forget all your troubles, — stop worrying, Just think it all over, and smile! M. M. McINNIS, ’21.

THE LOST NOTE I Seated one day in the Sophomore room, I was weary and ill at ease hile my neighbor was busily writing With a look on her face as if pleased. II 1 knew not what she was writing 1 knew not what it could be, But she lifted her head and with a deep sigh She slyly gave it to me. III I read the directions upon it I knew just where it should go And I raised my head to glance round. To see if all was just so. IV 1 gently threw it a seat ahead And praised myself for the deed ; But the teacher saw it just then — And to tell the rest there’s no need. E. FOSCHNICK.

Going Up and — Down The gray morning light was peeping through the curtains when I awoke and although I knew I should he up that very minute, I closed my eyes listening for the hall clock to strike seven. Presently it struck. 1 arose and slowly started to dress. To my surprise, 1 found myself putting on a very thin voile dress, and over that a most attractive aviator ' s suit. W hile standing before my mirror, 1 happened to look at a calendar hanging near and, with a gasp of astonishment, observed that it read, “March 30, 2020.” 1 ate my breakfast in many small capsules, then stepped into my waiting aeroplane was eff to school. In mid-air, 1 had a jolly race with Jean Laird who was piloting her new blue and gold plane. Although we were go- ing at a 250-mile-an-hour clip, 1 was delighted to note the expansion of Port Huron and to see the busy life in our suburbs of Detroit and Jeddo. When a merry host of us had alighted at the Port Duron High School, courteous mechanicians, among them Ross Martin and Paul Soini, hustled our planes to their hangars, while we strolled over beautiful lawns in the shade of magnificent trees to the marvelous new High School which Mr. Davis had told us about, exactly one hundred years before. We saluted Mr. Hungerford, who was watching our arrival with a smile of satisfaction. The High School plant, which covered four city blocks, was in low two- story buildings of white stone, surrounded by several acres of campus which sloped gently down to the shores of Lake Huron. There I saw Dorothy Mar- tin and Lucille Beresford leisurely paddling in bright colored canoes. On the north side of the school scores of girls and boys were playing tennis and oth- ers were starting off for the golf links. Hastily scanning the buildings, I was delighted to see such names above their entrances as: “Community Hall. “The Little Theatre, “Girls ' Gym- nasium and Recreation Center, “Science Hall, “Library, “Art Gallery. “Vocational Shops ’ etc. Entering “Community Hall,” I found myself in a business-like lounging room where bustling groups of young people were flitting about in their light- est summer clothing. The air was tropical and the ventilation perfect. The main topic of conversation was the referendum on giving men the privilege of voting. The boys were excitedly carrying huge armfuls of books, upon this subject, to and from the Civic Laboratory. Doris DeGraw, Mddred Smith and Isabel Ballentine were valiantly protesting the necessity for the movement, declaring it to be the most backward step women had ever taken, while poor Jack Reamer vainly tried to find some good argument in favor of it. 1 really pitied their old fashioned ideas. As I passed an alcove I saw a pale, sad looking youth reading out of a book, a kind of gibberish which I afterwards learned was the language of the ancient Romans. That was Fred Ballentine. Desiring to think my suffrage platform over, 1 stepped into the corridor and met a stream of students going towards a Domestic Science Laboratory, from which the most delicious untasted odors issued. It was Miss Cameron’s demonstration of those queer 1920 foods — very interesting and curious. After this, I strolled over to the Art Gallery, where I saw some of the master-pieces of the world which had been placed there by the citv com- mission. Joining Kathleen Gray, I went to gather some flowers in the conservatory and while we were busy cutting roses and orchids, Russell Wonderlic with his usual pep rushed through the room and upon our inquiry as to where he was going he replied, “To the Library.” Mv curiosity got the best of me and I immediately rushed off to the Li- brary too. Instead of the stuffy little room which I had been used to, I found a great hall lined with books. Many of the volumes were on the subject of Civics, but I could not get hold of a single one. All seemed to be in use. You may imagine my surprise not to see Miss Chapin anywhere, but I learned that after she had revised the algebra course and cut out all non-es- sentials, there was nothing left and so she was now enjoying life unmarred by ‘Vs,” “y’s.” and “z ' s.” Seeing nothing like our old routine, I wondered when classes passed. I asked Adrian Zemmer and he said, “Why, you go to class whenever you are prepared.” I was so perplexed that 1 could do no more than utter a weak little. “Thank you.” At noon. I joined the crowd of boys and girls rushing to their hangars and climbed into my aeroplane. Rising speedily to a high altitude, my plane suddenly took a dip. I floated downward through space and landed on some- thing very soft. W hen 1 opened my eyes, J looked to see if any of mv bones were broken, but I found to my surprise that I was in bed. All my beautiful day had been a dream, and I still had to dress and run all the way to school. It was ten minutes to eight and the Senior Council was on guard. Luckily the bridge was not turned !!

AN ODE TO A SAFETY PIN Something long and Made of Tin Is the Useful Safety Pin. « When you jump And break something Then you yell, “A Safety Pin.” Out in the woods When on a trip, Through barbed wire, Then a rip.

Officers Cociu TTiSH ' Or Lemonade. OisYkns - PEP vs. SPIRIT Pep. Everyone wants to show it. The school needs it. Classes desire it. But what is it? A combination of enthusiasm, excitement, noise and activity? Of course it is. The noise element is uppermost in our cheering, the excitement, at a game, and the enthusiasm and activity of teams carrie? us on. But underneath this show of pep there must be a stronger feeling. Unless there is a willingness on the part of each individual to sacrifice or co- operate for the general good, this pep becomes a mere show and so is of little avail. The realization that one is a part of an organization and has a desire to build up the whole will make for impelling spirit. That is what we want even more than pep. Stand back of your organized class. Show Pep when desirable! Spirit always. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT Nothing can be accomplished without cooperation. The Staff have work- ed hard to serve you by preparing this annua). We hope it is satisfactory. We have had much assistance from teachers, students, and outsiders. We wish to thank all those who have mad special reports or have given suggestions; all those who have helped in the preparation of materials: and ALL contributors. Most important of these, of course, were the advertisers who gave us our financial strength. THE NEW WASHINGTON SCHOOL In the history of the High School there have been many changes. In 1906 the old wooden building burned to the ground. In 1908 the present school was opened for use. Within recent years the number of students at- tending has increased beyond the capacity of the rooms. Some action was necessary, so the Auditorium was fitted with stationary seats and the south end of the upper hall was partitioned ofif to form an extra class room. With the opening of the Junior High this condition will be relieved and another change added to the list. No one can foretell the effect on P. H. H. S. but it might be interesting to deal in probabilities. This new arrangement will hold the eighth grade graduates through their Freshman year at least, thus leaving the High School to the upper class men and perhaps the Sophomores. Just whom the teachers will use as examples of model behavior is hard to tell. Not Juniors, surely! Will a Senior-Freshman party be possible or has the class of Twenty given the last party of that kind? Will the school be duller or will there be fuller freedom with fewer students: There is, however, another aspect of this change. With relief from the crowded condition, those who remain ought to be able to have many things as they wish. The Auditorium might be cleared of seats and the stage put in better order. This would make it usable for mass-meetings or movies. Plays or lectures could be rehearsed, during school time, without interfering with deeply studious occupants. These are a few ideas. Thus the possibilities open to future classes for their greater pleasure and advanc� ment are wide and interesting. A SUGGESTION The editor received an interesting suggestion for The Student, that we have a beauty contest in P. H. H. S. The plan was to have picked judges, choose candidates from each room and present them before the school. A vote was to be taken and the winner ' s picture placed in The Student. We thank you for the suggestion, but owing to lack of time we were unable to make use of it. But honestly, do you think that impartial judges could be found? WE DOUBT IT! AN APOLOGY Some of the art work was retouched just before sending to the engrav- ers. This was far from satisfactory to the artists. We are very sorry that this happened and ask their pardon. Voice of the School INDIFFERENCE? As students, we’re ephemeral in actions and nature at times. Any new move is received with loud acclaim only to die out in a short period of time. The cause of this is seemingly a lack of mutual agreement between one an- other. A few, and usually the same few, will abide by the decisions of the majority. Spasmodic in the extreme are these natures of ours. We are lax in adhering to fundamental principles laid down by the student body. By agreement the boys and girls of this room promised to live up to standards as set by the room as a whole. Now we are forgetting. Is our indifferent attitude due to the age in which we are living? Or is it because of thoughtlessness on our part? True it is there are many outside attractions but why not work for the betterment of school life. Four years in this institution is in reality a short space of time. During our stay we fail to realize the fact and in later years we look back with memories of what good was really accomplished and we do not want mingled with those thoughts, things which were not of the best. To this end let everyone strive in every way possible for a bigger and better Port Huron High School a place of credit to the community. M. R. A. Alfred Browning to Albert Hogan : “Au revoir.” A.

Here is what was written by a school girl, a would-be novelist: “He sprang ardently fonvard, but a look of soft entreaty from one of Pearl’s eyes, and a glance of warning darted from the other in the direction of her aunt, forced him regretfully back into his chair.” Girls’ Athletics Port Huron High School ranks as one of the leading schools of Michigan in Boys ' Athletics. There is the Boys’ Basket Ball team, the Boys’ Baseball team, the Boys’ Football team, and now the Boys’ Track team. What a fine school it is — for the boys. And that is as it should be, but there should be a little consideration given to Girls ' Athletics as well. Last year, under the supervision of Miss Everham, the girls of each class formed a basketball team. There were inter-class games played, and at each gamle, about a handful of students appeared to cheer the teams on. In fact there were very few who even knew that such teams existed. However, the girls enjoyed the game and wanted to keep on. This year when the girls petitioned for a Basketball team, their request wasn’t even considered. No teacher could be found who was willing to take thte time from her work to coach. Consequently, when the girls would play, they organized two teams outside of school and scheduled their own games. There is not another school of this size in the state that does not provide for girls’ athletics in some manner. Marine City and even Memphis, which is not even on the map, has a girls’ basketball team. Every semester, every girl in High School is literally forced to pay fifty cents to the Athletic As- sociation, so that the boys may partake in the athletics from which they are excluded.

BOOTS— PUTTS— PANTS AND PATCHES 1 he above is the Coat of Arms of the Old Clothes Club. This club was organized to bring down the cost of new suits in Port Huron and wear out all the old things hanging in the closet. At a general meeting the plan was discussed and decided upon. The next day saw a motley array of wearing apparel. The extremes wore off in a few days but the idea that new clothes don’t make the student has come to stay and will create, we are sure, a greater feeling of fellowship with any fellow who is in style with the movement all the time. 1 he above work of art shows the principle of the club, its appearance and chief support. Miss Northrup: “Now all of you pass together. Girls first.” Miss Chapin: “How do they tune violins?” Charles Taylor: “Why with a tuning fork.” John H : “You look cold Katherine, shall I take off my coat and put it around you?” Katherine: “Why take it off?” Mar. 23 : Mar. 26: Apr. 6: Apr. 7: Apr. 9: Apr. 9 : Apr. 9 : Apr. 10: Apr. 13: Apr. 15: Apr. 19: Apr. 21 : MASS MEETING UNDER STUDENT COUNCIL ‘‘Three cheers for the school now — let’s make it a big one!” Was it a big one? The school fairly shook. It occured at a mass meet- ing in charge of Senior Student Council. Chairman Carlton Hill had arrang- ed a splendid program. In view of the fact that the meeting was to arouse a little “pep” and spirit for our hardest Basket Ball Game, the first few minutes were given over to practicing yells under cheerleader Ho- gan’s direction. “Professor” Browning then conducted a short sing, while the rest of the time was given over to speeches made by: Mr. A. L. Chamberlain Mr. Glen Davis Mr. Lake Jerry Collins. The meeting was a great success in that a new spirit seemed to be pres- ent. and that it brought results mainly — a big turn out to see the team win their hardest contest. SPEECHES BY BUSINESS MEN The seniors have been very fortunate this semester in having piominent business men address them at the Monday Morning Meetings. T hey have dealt with practical problems, and the fields that are open to the boys and girls of today. Mr. Stephen Graham Mr. Thomas Draper Mr. Frank Henson Mr. Ottaway Miss Spalding Mr. Charlton Banking Manufacturing Clothing Newspaper Work Opportunities of a Clerk The Ministry We have greatly enjoyed these Monday Morning talks and wish to thank the Business Men taking such an interest in the school. THE SENIOR PLAY The Seniors, as is thkiv custom, are going to present “The Green Ele- phant,” an English Drama. The cast for the play was chosen about the middle of April by Miss Clara Sib illa, the director. The cast is as follows: Sir Henry Warburton Wm. B. Hartman Antony Pollitt ...Charles Taylor Rupert Harvard Frederick Moore Professor Norman Nutt Lloyd Reid John Betis Alfred Browning A Footman James Beresford Lady Warburton — - Ruth Stunner Mrs. M otterway — Bessie Isbester Miss Petty Hart Marie Herbert Harper Evelyn Jackson Maid .... Marjorie Locke The principal characters of the play are Sir Harry and Lady arburton. The plot centers around the loss of a valuable jade jewel, a green elephant. My Lady has very extravagant tastes, which Sir Harry indulges. But having a very large bill the green elephant disappears. Sir Harry discovers its loss and asks Norman Nutt to assist him in finding it. The Professors secretary, John Betis, succeeds in locating it much to everyones sorrow. Letty Hart, who knew him under a different name, does not disclose the fact that he is Peter Little, a long-sought-after thief because she is fond of him in spite of his profession. Mrs. Motterway’s intense jealousy of Pollitt’s slight friend- ship with Miss Hart makes life unpleasant for him till everything is settled. Sir Harry is continually fretting over the loss and yet anxious not to hurt her feelings about her “carelessness.” Harvard, a friend of the Warburton’s does not get into action enough to flustrate Betis, although he is the only one capable of doing so. The executive staff of the play is as follows: Business Manager - Gordon Tappan Publicity Manager - James Beresford Posters ------ Curtis Chalcraft Property Manager - Eugene Lewis ARMY ESSAY CONTEST ' The Army Essay Contest was entered by practically all the schools in the country. Port Huron High School was no exception. The Senior Eng- lish classes and some other students who desiifed to, competed, and selection of essays was made by Miss Northrup, Miss Woodward and Miss Hayward. They chose the three best to send to the local contest headquarters. These three were written by Marie Herbert, Wm. Hartman and Alfred Browning. These essays were among the four best in the city. One of these, Alfred Browning’s, was sent to Detroit, the district head- quarters for the contest. e wonder why T. Summers wore his coat collar up all one morning.

Soft Coal?” Baldy: “No, spring suit.” JUNIOR-SENIOR PARTY 1 he Biggest social e ent of the year was the evening of April 19, when the Juniors honored the Class of 20 at a party given in the gymnasium of the New Washington School. I he Senior class colors, maize and blue, were draped from one balcony to its opposite in a most artistic manner. In the center of the floor and surrounded by palms and floor-lamps, the orchestra was seated. The corners were cozily arranged and added as much to the comfort and enjoyment of the guests as to the ar tistic effect. In one corner was a great bowl of punch for the thirsty. Good? Ask anyone. The evening was spent in dancing, and many feature dances were on the program. In the Grand March led by the Junior President Francis Appel and his partner Ruth Schuck, followed by the Senior President Charles Taylor and Isabel MacLaren were about seventy-five couples. Before the close of the party the floor was almost covered with confetti and serpentine streamers. Hair and clothing glittered with a variety of col- ored dots. The chaperones for this affair wen? the Junior Advisors, the Misses oodward and Blake, and the Senior Advisors, the Misses Northrup and Everham. While the honored guests of the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford. It was a wonderful party! THE SOPHOMORE PARTY The peppiest party that ever happened and the records of which will be Handed down to posterity was given by the Sophomores on March twenty- sixth Dancing was enjoyed from four to five-thirty, the music was furnished by A I iss Lamlein assisted by Kenneth Carlisle who sang all the latest songs and made quite a hit with the girls. The best part of any party follows im- mediately. Perhaps this is why the party was such a success. There would be no room left in the “Student” if a list of the menu was printed at this time. Favor hats created a great sensation at lunch. George Durrand, the President of the “Soph” class would like an Algebra Shark to solve this prob- lem : “Given 90 dishes of Jello and only 75 Sophs present. To Find whv six people ran short ???????? At six-thirty the company laboriously removed themselves to the Audi- torium here, they were favored with several reels of Moving Pictures which is the first time a class party has ever had such a feature. Betwleen reels im- promptu speeches caused some uneasiness; but even though some of our bash- ful friends were called on, all wVre forced to respond because of their Sopho- more Spirit. At an early hour the party broke up, each one feeling that “I kinda’ wish it was just beginnin ” THE FRESHMAN PARTY On January 16, the Class of 19 23 gave the most interesting party of the year. Tt was a Leap-vvar Indoor Picnic and it was novel in all of its features. The girls brought huge boxes of delicious lunch, the boys bought the ice cream and Miss Carlisle made the unique favors. From 3 o’clock until 5, there was dancing on the third floor, chaperoned by Miss Kress and Miss Miller. During the first half of the program the girls asked the boys to dance, and they took great care to see that there were no “wallflowers.” It was great fun and the girls acted very gentlemen- ly indeed. At the same time those who did not dance had a program of entirely new games, on the second floor. Miss Carlisle directed the games and ev- erybody had a rollicking time. At 5 o’clock the girls went to Room A, and the boys to A. H. The favors were distributed and then the real fun began. The girls took their lunch boxes and went to A. H. Each girl had a card with half an illustration on it. Some boy had the corresponding half. The exciting moment came when, in the presence of the entire assembly, the halves were matched and the couples thus “paired” for lunch. Very soon the whole Assembly became an animated Mother Goose party. The “Dish” ran away with the “Spoon”; the “Spider” sat down by “Miss Moffett” and “Jack Spratt” decided to And out what “Mrs. Spratt” had in her box. Lillian Bourbonnais as a “Glass of Lemonade” found in Leonard Simms “A Sunkist Lemon.” When the entire company had been arranged, they marched to the basement where supper was eaten in true picnic fashion, and everybody had a most satisfying time. Although it was snowing hard when the party broke up at 7 o’clock, some of the girls saw the affair through to the end and escorted their partners safely home. It was universally the opinion that this was the best Freshman party ever. BASKET BALL BANQUET Vim — Vigor — Victory and Push. That’s Pep! ! ! And pep we had at the basket ball banquet. W ere you there? If not. you missed one of the live- liest social times of the school season. All afternoon a committee worked to get the gym ready for a banquet hall. At six o ' clock all was in readiness. The guests were seated at six tables gav with cut flowers and senior class colors, blue and yellow, and red and white, the school colors (according tG Team, Speakers, Faculty and Classmen.) Then came the “eats” — A roast Beef Dinnrr — and all its trimmings. Af- ter the coffee came the toasts — a small printed program in the school colors red and white was found at each one ' s place. As a good send off, a few songs and y;lls were indulged in. Then with Carlton Hill acting as toastmaster, the following toasts were given. Athletics in School by our Superintendent Mr. Davis, who said, that while athletics had not played so great a part in previous years, he was very glad they weip coming into prominence. And if athletics were backed up in the future with the splendid spirit that- was now manifested among the students they could not but succeed. Mr. Lake and Mr. G. Davis of the Y. M. C. A., coaches of the Basket Ball Team, followed Mr. Davis and pointed out to us, that we had a team worthy of our support, and successful because of our earnest backing. Mr. Hnngerford, with a word for each, presented the play- ers with their letters. Also to Albert Hogan, who acted so splendidly as cheer leader. Free? .Tick Moore, the year ' s captain, thanked the school for its support and reminded the team that victory comes while working together, not as individuals. Byron Phillips — next year ' s captain, with a few words for the next year ' s team, closed a most successful affair. Much credit is to be given to the Senior Council for bringing this event about, and carrying it on in such a successful manner. “Why didn ' t Adam and Eve own an automobile?” “Because they didn ' t have attire.” “Didn’t you if girl a be wouldn’t you. it read would you knew we.” Throw her into reverse!’!! Read it backward!!!!!! M. G. (at movie) “All that I can see are shadows and a sign board.” M. M. “It isn ' t so bad when the sign board says seven miles to Port Huron.” Miss Rush — “What happened to the associates of Booth after the mur- der of Lincoln ?” M. Akers — “They were hanged and put in prison.” Eleanor Cady, at Basket Ball Banquet: “Gee, I’d like a roll.” Rosabel Lee — “There ' s lots of floor space.” Miss Woodward: What is the definition of go? Eugene Wulfman: Coming the other way. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club is completing its fourth year as a musical organ- ization of the High School. The following officers were elected last fall when the club reassembled for the year 1919-20. President ------- Irma Morris Secretary and Treasurer - - Carmela Graziadei Pianist ------ Adeline Lym burner The Club treasury consists of dues paid by the members, ten cents a month. This is used for the general expenditures of the club. The girls have be n rehearsing for the past months the Cantata, ‘ ' Pan on a Summer Day.” On May 25 this is to be given in the form of a double program to open the new Junior High Auditorium. The Boys’ Glee Club presents a musical play the same evening. The proceeds from the program will start as a corner-stone for the building up of a “High School Orchestra” next year. The two Glee Clubs realize the need of an orchestra and will do their best to make one an established factor of High School life. A school is not complete without a number of musical circles, nor without people who maintain an interest in music. The Clubs are especially fortunate in having as a leader Miss Edna Fraser, who is so enthusiastic in all affairs pertaining to the development of musical talent in the public school. The members of the club are: Irma Morris, Letta Peters, Helen Broth- well, Marjorie Bonner, Mabel Brothwell, Isabel Annas, AlicL West, Evelyn Jackson, Marion Stewart, Mary Collins, Blanch W arren. Beth Eliot, Etta Stocks, Frances Smith, Nina Powrie, Lila Miller, Hazel Van Tine, Helen Mitchell, Wanda Loope, Lillian Duck, Carmela Graziadei, Olivfj McIntosh, Lillian Fox. Ada Maxwell. Leona Stevenson, Pauline Gibson, Joyce Minor. —A.

Girls ' Glee Club Boys ' Glee Club BOYS’ GLEE CLUB This club, one of the regular institutions of our school, is completing a most satisfactory year. Miss Edna Fraser, the directress, was anxious to try something more ambitous than the usual songs. This something is to be presented at the New Washington School auditorium. It will consist of a musical skit entitled: “Uncle Sam’s Boys in Camp.” The plot centers around a wager between two officers. One (Allen Carlisle) claims that lie can im- personate a woman and the other (Earl Hartson) discredits this claim. The singing is being coached by Miss Fraser and the staging by Miss Ltiella Small. This is expected to be one of the greatest events in the history of the club. The officers of the club are as follows : President ------- Lloyd Reid Sec’y Treas. ----- Albert Hogan Pianist ------ Harlan Hungerford Members : First Tenors: Raymond Boadway, Allen Carlisle, Lloyd Reid. Second Tenors: George Lenox, Malcolm Charlton, Arthur Baker. Baritones: Charles Taylor, Charles Conat, Fred Baker, Earl Hartson. Alfred Browning. Bass: William Hill, William Baker, Albert Hogan, ♦Francis Appel. ♦In the cast of the musical plav mentioned above. L. REID. COMMUNITY SERVICE The Community civics department has had a number of opportunities this )Aar to render community service, and to show the real meaning of civics instruction. The most important work undertaken was that of the “Clean Up and Paint Up” Campaign from May 8 to May 15. Under the direction of the Port Huron Community Council, a number of projects for civic improvement were launched, and plans for permanent betterment formed. The program for community recreation upon a big scale, for an up-to-date Board of Health, and the care of trees is of continued interest. The Camera Club did excellent work in collecting pictures for posters, and the Civics classes aided in the out-of-town publicity by sending an an- nouncement of the campaign to the executives of seventy-five cities. During the week of May 25, the Civics students had charge of the junior drive in the Port Huron City Hospital membership campaign. The class has, upon several occasions, assisted Superintendent H. A. Davis in collecting data upon educational problems connected with his office, and has done well. 7 ouse ( Of Pep r L s Z.nt ex. t t v C S ■ - - - ■ LHAUtAfT.I The eighth session of the Port Huron High School House of Representa- tives opened with a great display of enthusiasm. About forty boys respond- ed to Referee Anderson ' s call which was to the effect that a meeting be held to make plans for the year ' s work. Debating and work in parlimentary law was begun at once and a large number of boys interested in debating turned out for practice every night. The House participated in one dual debate with Lansing on the subject of “Compulsory Military Training” and lost both debates. A series of out-of-town debates has been planned which us- ually prove interesting and instructive to both audience and debators. Many bills were brought up on contemporary subjects among them “Segregation of the Negro,” “Provision for Athletic Training for the Young Ladies of the P. H. H. S. classes, and “To Provide for the Abolishment of Senior Session Rooms,” were treated in the bills. Membfers were deeply engrossed over their outcome as was shown by the fiery scenes enacted at the different meetings. The Housie is now preparing for its annual banquet and aims to have present a representative delegation from each member of the Federated Hous- es of Michigan as guests and invitations are now being sent to them. The bus- iness men of the city are included as the means of bringing a closer and more intimate connection between House members and experienced men of life. A good speaker has been selected for the occasion and a fine time is expected by all as a closing event to a successful year. Officers : Speaker ------- Paul Brown Vice-Speaker ------- Lloyd Reid Clerk ------- George Mclrmis Treasurer ------ Curtis Chalcraft Sergeant-at-Arms ----- Carlton Hill Public Press Correspondent - Malcolm Charlton Student Correspondent - James Ramsey Members : Francis Appel, John Allen, Frank Allen, William Andrews, Jack Beamer, John Congo, Franklin Cowles, Kenneth Church, William Hartman, William Kresin, Eugene Moak, Eldred Miller, Edward Parsons, John Ross, Samuel Steelier, Charles Taylor, Russell Wonderlic. Theodore Anderson, Referee. Senior Council The Student Council of the Senior class is a small body of Senior class- men and teachers which was brought into being by the class for its better government. In order to understand and fully appreciate the actions and re- sults of this Council, a brief sketch of its origin and struggles for existence is most important. It happened one day, that the Seniors had, as individuals and as a class, reached a point where they felt that they could no longer stand the great wave of criticism that was rolling toward them from every direction. A few of the boys met accidentally and discussed the problem. Their plan was to suggest a Student Council as a remedy and if it met with the approval of the class, to give Student Government a fair trial. This was done. The idea of a controlling Council was accepted and became a fact at the next regular class meeting. The Council, as chosen, is composed of Carlton Hill, Chair- man ; Ruth Sturmer and James Ramsey, Student Members; and Miss North- rup. Miss Everham and Mr. Hungerford, Faculty Members. The Council held its first meeting only a few days after its appointment. At that meeting, Rmh Stunner was asked by the Chairman to keep the min- utes of the meeting. The Chairman had ten things on which he wanted the Council to work. The most important of these was the installation of the one way traffic system in the halls of the High School. The Council spent much time on the plans for the system and finally completed them just be- fore spring vacation. The first week after spring vacation saw the members of the Council busy with these plans. There was a gong to be secured and installed. This was done under direction of Mr. Harry Smith. There were plans and explanations to be presented in the five session rooms. There were the floors to be chalked. All of this took time and energy, but it was done in time to start the new system Monday, April 12. We are proud of our “one way” system, but w r e are even more proud of the successful basket ball banquet of which the Council took charge under the Chairmanship of Ruth Sturmer. The school spirit which was manifested by the laughter and songs, was such as brings victory to teams and fame to schools. Some things which the Council has undertaken have not been as pleasantly received as was hoped. This was due to the fact that the students were not gradually pre- pared for the plan and were not in accord with it. As long as the Council does constructive work and keeps the students hack of it, it will be a lasting body. Its members are open to suggestions both from students and teachers. The Student Council wishes to take this opportunity for thanking those members of the Senior class, of the school at large and of the faculty, who have stood behind its efforts and have co-operated so helpfully in everything it has tried to do. Miss Ross: “Miss Davis, did you rip out your neck and press it? Miss Northrup in English I: “Who w r as King Albert?” Miss Harrison : “Queen of England.” Miss Ross: “Please sew up your sides and put a flat fell on your shoul- ders.” Miss Miller: “What is the difference between annual and biennial plants?” Clessen Hawley: “Annual plants die once a year, and biennial plants die twice a year.” Miss McCollom, putting down the win vv: “That noise out there will make me hoarse.” One day, Gordon Tappan, Ed. Moore, and Hank Langtry were discuss- ing what great man each looked like. Gordon said he had been taken for ex-president Roosevelt; Hank Langtry said he was thought to bear a resem- blance to President Wilson. “That ' s nothing,” said Ed. “The other day when I was standing on the corner a policeman come along and said, “Holy Moses! Are you here again?” What attracts Eunice Eichhorn s eyes out of the window so much? REVIEW OF THE 1919-1920 BASKETBALL SEASON 1 he team this year went through one of the most successful seasons that it has ever had in this school, and only the numerous accidents that have befallen us kept us from winning an even larger number of games. Practice started just as soon as school began after the Christmas vaca- tion, and about fifty candidates reported for the first practice, which made it a very difficult task for the coach and all advisors to weed them out and still pick the best that could be obtained. After only a few practices the team journeyed to Mt. Clemens and due. to the lack of training and the few practices that they had during the week before they went down to defeat under a score of 25 to 19 in spite of leading throughout the game. This however did not dishearten the team as they came back strong the next week and swamped the Marine City High, under an overwhelming score of 54 to 23. At this junction of the season, Mr. Glenn H. Davis of the local Y. M. C. A. came forward and offered his assistance to the High School and considering the amount of experience that he has had in the game, it was very valuable, and was appreciated by all who noticed the decided change. . All due respect to the way in which Ann Arbor treated 11s and the cour- teousness that they showed before and after the game, we can hardly look back to that game and still think that we were beaten as they only had a one- man team and he scored over two-thirds of the points made by them, and nearly all of them were made from the center of the floor where it was almost impossible to stop him. If the foul basket shooting art had been more devel- oped at this stage of the game the score would have been a great deal higher as eighteen fouls were called on the Ann Arbor team and only four of them were made. The final score of 38 to 24 showed how we battled and lost. In past games the lack of enthusiasm seemed to add to the downfall of the team, but in the U. of D. game they turned out with a good hearty pair of lungs in each person and the way the team fought showed how much good rooting did. Although we were without the services of Capt. Moore, his place was ably filled by Grant Moore and the game was one of the cleanest and hard-fought games of the season. U. of I), was greatly handicapped with the low ceiling in the Armory and the game would have probably gone differently if we had been playing on their floor. However we won bv a good score of 28 to 21. One game that will go down in the history of basketball in Port Huron High School is the Highland Park game which we won after having been on the low side of the score at the end of the first three quarters. In the final quarter the team took a brace and succeeded in outplaying the visitors and winning by a two point margin. Capt. Moore was again out of the game and his absence was again considerably n oticed, but the team played shoulder to shoulder and carried off the game by a score of 22 to 20. We got revenge for the defeat handed us at the first game of the seasor and played Mt. Clemens to a standstill. The final score read 42 to 17 although two subs were used which shows that we could have even made a larger score if the regulars had stayed in the game throughout. Deng made t 2 of the 17 points for the vistors and his showing was one that impressed all who saw the game. Although we are not crying over spilt milk, we will say that we received a raw deal at Saginaw when we played Arthur Hill High, of that city. The forwards failed to show up to their usual standard and only the good guard- ing on the part of Philip and Stuart kept the score as low as it was. We have the same alibi for the Flint game as their referee gave them everything that he possibly could and a little more, too, and we received the worst defeat of the season at their hands. e don t say that we would have won if we had the services of Fred Moore, but we do know that there would have been a great difference in the score which ended 30 to 15 in favor of the Flint aggregation. Cast you eyes. Ladies and Gentlemen, on the records in past years and try to find a game that showed half of the fighting spirit in it as did the re- turn game with Flint. If they had been younger they would have probably cried, but since they were supposed to be High School students they just kicked throughout the game, and the kicking seemed to detract their atten- tion from the playing as they could only make a basket once in a while. However, we will say that they succeeded in keeping on an even basis with the team and the game ended with the score tie, and it was necessary to play BASKET BALL TEAM 15. Philip ------ Forward C. Holth ------ Forward F. Moore (Capt.) Center G. Moore ------ Guard R. Stuart - Guard H. Ross ------- Sub. W. Frink - - - Sub. two extra periods before the Red and White team was awarded the victory. The enthusiasm in this game was so pronounced that it was necessary several times for the referee to call time in order to make himself heard. We came away that night with a score of 29 to 26 chalked up to our list, and the game will long remain in the minds of all who saw it. Saginaw Eastern came with the usual confidence that marks all the “Big Town Stuff and they returned humbled under a score of 34 to 24 featured by the clean playing of the visitors, as only two technical fouls were called on them, and people admitted that it was the cleanest game that has ever been played on the local Basketball court. Crowds of all Crowds the Cass Tech, game proved to be a record beater, as the sides of the hall were packed to their capacity and for the first time in the history of basketball some were turned away. “Yes, we won,” but it was as close as it could possibly be without it being a tie. After the first few minutes of play we were badly handicapped as Fred Moore wrenched his knee, and could hardly walk, but through sheer nerve he stayed in the game and succeeded in making five baskets, which helped very materially in the final score. The score was tie at the end of the first three cjuarters, and only a sudden spurt at the close of the game allowed 11s to win bv a score of 30 to 29. F. Moore was out of the game again when we went to the lournament, and we lost our first game to the fast Ypsilanti team by a score of 28 to 14 which eliminated 11s from the tournament. It was 110 disgrace to be beaten by Ypsilanti as they landed in the finals and were defeated by Lansing. After all the talk that we have heard from the Faculty we certainly will have to give them credit for appearing on the floor in the wonderful condi- tion that they did. They have been keeping in good condition even though it is a hard task with all the temptations that they have before them. The Faculty came on the floor with five captains on the five man team, and each was just as good as could be expected. “ l ubby made a basket that was just like the kind you read about. Lake was greatly disappointed when they didn’t give him the glad hand when he appeared in the scene. Smith would look better in a bathrobe than he did in a basketball suit. Harboldt with a little more practice will be able to make the W ashington Independ- ents (junior High team) in the course of a year or two. Macintosh would make a good man in the back seat of a Studebaker as he more than hugged the opposing plavers and was wont to let go without assistance from others. All joking aside we had a bunch that played the game for all it was worth, and each and every one of them wish to thank Mr. Lake and G. H. Davis for the valuable assistance they gave which helped in many ways. We also wish to thank Mr. H. I. Snyder for refereeing the Highland Park game, as it was one of the hardest and largest games of the season. E. K. T. GAMES: Port Huron Opponents p H. H. S 19 Mt. Clemens .. .. 2 S p. H. H.

Meisel: “Do you regard tobacco as injurious?” “Unquestionably,” answered G. Tappan. “My smoking has done terrible damage to the parlor curtains and mother’s disposition.” TOURNAMENT The tournament atYpsilanti was a fitting climax to a season which had been marked from the first by more than the usual amount of setbacks and injuries. Owing to the large number of entries, it was decided not to hold a “con- solation” series. This meant that the team which lost its first or second game was eliminated while the team which lost in the final, would still have second place. Our team went into the first game against Ypsilanti High School minus the services of Captain Moore who was injured in the last game of the season. Against this parched line-up, the Ypsi team, which was play- ing before its home crowd, started with a rush and at a pace which couldn’t last but which netted 13 points the first quarter against the two which were all that we could gather in the same length of time. Starting the second quarter with an eleven point handicap, with defeat and elimination looming larger as the minutes passed, our team fought with that spirit of grim determination which has brought the crowd to its feet and turned defeat into victory so many times during the past season, holding the opposing team on even terms, and scoring basket for basket with them so that the half ended with the same margin in favor of Ypsi as at the quarter. In the third quarter we kept up the fight and succeeded in gaining a point but lost that and three more in the final quarter and when the whistle blew, the score stood 28-14 in favor of Ypsi, yet never for an instant, until the final whistle did blow, did the team falter, and the last second of the game found them contesting every inch of the way and, when it became ap- parent that they must lose, fighting to reduce the lead of their opponents. Even though we lost in the first game, most of the boys stayed to see the entire tournament and were well repaid, because they were privileged to see some very fast games, and the experience gained was worth much to next years team. The tournament as a whole was very well conducted and we were very cordially allowed the freedom of the campus, and everyone outdid himself to make our stay pleasant. It might be interesting to note that Ypsi was only beaten by Lansing in the final game, taking second place in the tournament. TRACK The track team has been practicing for several weeks to get into shape for the meets. One is to be held in Sarnia May 17, and the County Held Meet is to be held at Tashmoo June 4- We have plenty of good runners and other good men necessary to make an excellent track team. Mr. Hilsinger to Commercial Geography class, “The rich pampas grass of the Parana valley is so fine that the cattle fatten entirely on it. Mr. Mc- Cowan what do they use the corn for, which they raise?” T. McCowan (just waking up) “Why, they use it to fatten the ca:tle on.” BASEBALL Ihe base ball team was somewhat handicapped at the first of the season as the weather would not permit practice. After getting a lather late start, the team has done very well. At the time of going to press we have won five out of the first six games, only losing the first one, which was probably due to the lack of practice. W e have a fine team and at present it looks as though we ought to have a championship one. Charles Bonn ett was elected Cap- tain. and is easily the leader. YVe have a very good schedule ahead of us. Schedule follows: April 1 7 — Richmond at Port Huron. April 24 — Croswell at Croswell. May 1 — Memphis at Port Huron. May 7 — Marine City at Marine City. May 8 — Memphis at Memphis. May 12 — St. Clair at Port Huron. May 14 — Marine City at Port Huron. May 21 — St. Clair at St. Clair. May 22 — Detroit Central at Port Huron. May 28 — Flint at Flint.

Annapolis, March 26, 1920. My dear friends: I ell something’ about Annapolis! Now that’s rather an easy assign- ment, still there are so many things to tell that to stick to something may be hard. First of all, the Annapolis I’m going to talk about isn’t “Crabtown,” the capital of Maryland, it is the United States Naval Academy, the one thing that keeps the city from sinking into oblivion. Second, this place isn’t a training school where officers are trained to enter the Navy, it I S the Navy. When we enter, we take the same oath that any man takes upon entering the Navy. When we leave, we either graduate, resign, or get discharged, we do not quit. Because it is the Navy, the Academy is a mass of tradition. These tra- ditions take on the form of “rates,” unofficial distinctions between classes that make passing from one class to another a matter of some consequence. Before I go and tell you some of these “rates,” so that you will under- stand what I am talking about. I want to say, the classes here are not Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman, they are First. Second, Third and Fourth classes or better First, Second, “Youngster” and “Plebe” classes. Now to go on with “rates.” “Rates” is too broad a term to define in or- dinary “cit” language. A “plebe” rates two “mokes” and a “gyrene” oft duty. “Mokes” are negroes and “gyrenes” are marines. There were times during “plebe” year when I doubt that I rated even that. Plebes braced up at table, look straight ahead, and do not speak unless spoken to. It is a “plebe” rate to answer all questions from, “How much does a ship weight. Mister ?” to “What is the straight dope on Einstein’s theory?” and to tack a Sir on each answer. To say “I don’t knok. Sir ! is to go hunting for trouble be- cause a “plebe” rates knowing everything. He rates “stepping out” to for- mations and in general he gets it “rubbed in” a good deal. It takes all the conceit out of a fellow and has been the making of more than one good man. I he June after he enters the “plebe” becomes a “youngster.” His first act thereupon is to “bust” ranks in the Armory, hand his gun to a 2nd class- man, and then join the snake dance in Lovers Lane. Lovers Lane is not a “plebe” rate. A “youngster” gets along pretty well. He is recognized as a human by the upper classes, but to keep him from getting too big, you might say. meas- ures have to be taken. These measures come in the form of getting reported for breaking nearly every one of the nine hundred and sixty-five regulations some time or other. W hen all this is over he is a second classman. The second classman is a “non-reg,” bolshevik or anything you want to call such tendencies. He doesn’t care. He “runs” plebes, has pockets in his “trou,” “busts” exams, and in due time becomes first class, perhaps as a company officer or at least as a “non-ratey three diagonal” man. Now he “rates” smoking officially for the first time. He rates everything, or as we say, he rates king. There you have them, a few of the “rates.” Only a midshipman can understand them. They are law to him and lived up to far better than any regulation. I might mention some thing about the course of study and the regimen- tal organization, except that if I remember correctly when I read the “Stu- dent” topics on work or any of its relations did not much interest me, so now HI just say this: the Academy grows on one. The more you know of it the better you like it. The trouble is getting to know it. You do that only after a “plebe” year. If any of you fellows who read this think of trying for the place, make sure you are ready for the Navy as a life work, tell yourself you are going to like it, stick through your first year and then you will never want to leave. Now that I’ve done my best to give you a little knowledge of the place. I ' ll wish the “Student” every success, and may it be as good as the one we put out in ’i8. Sincerely, ARTHUR L. HAMLIN. SALLIE A. CRANE SCHOLARSHIP FUND A few years ago at a meeting of the Alumni Association of Port Huron High School an admission was charged to defray expenses. 1 here was a balance of about ten dollars. This was increased by a forty-five dollar gift from the class of 1914. The Class of ' 16 contributed a fifty dollar Liberty Bond. Early in 1915 a graduate of this school made an application for a loan from the association. She had been teaching in a rural school, and desired the opportunity of a broader training in order to secure a better position. I he use of forty-five dollars was given her. Last fall a grateful young woman returned fifty dollars to the Association. She had secured the desired train- ing and was holding a good position in a Detroit school. She has said that she would still be teaching in the country school if it were not for the loan at a critical time. Last December at the passing of Mrs. Sallie A. Crane, a beloved teacher of two generations, the officers of the Association decided to perpetuate her memory by creating a permanent scholarship fund. A life so replete with service to the youth of the city, an influence so gentle that her memory will always be enshrined in the hearts of her pupils must be commemorated in a living service rather than in bronze tablets or inanimate marble. A schol- ership fund will be a most fitting memorial to a noble woman. Nearly 1200 students have graduated from the High School and are now scattered far and wide. They will soon be given an opportunity to contribute to this fund. Many contributions have already come unsolicited from life long friends and acquaintenances of Mrs. Crane. Mrs. Edith Probett Marcy ’ 92 — $5.00. Shakespeare Club — $25.00. Alumni Association — $50.00 Rond. Other sums from $1.00 to $5.00. Several pledges for $5.00 annually. On hand — $157.00. Pledges — $200.00. The committee desires a fund of $1500.00 It is interesting that Mrs. Marcv of Brooklyn, New York, should be one of the first to pledge for such a fund without being solicited. The purpose of this fund is to help the pupils of Port Huron High School. Each year the teachers see the tragedy of their brightest pupils leaving school on account of inadequate finances. These boys and girls are forced many times to go into uncongenial work, whereas with a little help at a crucial time they could continue their education and then be able to secure better positions with increased opportunities. This is where the fund will step in and help. Where they wish to avail themselves of a broader education the fund will likewise be available. It will be loaned to applicants whose scholarship and responsibility will be closely investigated. Opportunity knocks at the door of Port Huron. Boys and girls can se- cure good positions but they can secure even better ones with increased school attendance. There is now an object for the Association to work for in creating and maintaining a permanent scholarship fund. It is hoped that each graduating class will contribute something. Surely this is little enough in appreciation of the privilege of being able to remain in school. Let all help to perpetuate this fund remembering that service is the basic law of life.
