We wanted to be different, “just for a change,” and then, we really thought the new things were pretty good. The Senior pictures, especially, are aranged differently and we hope you will like the change. The Junior High is also gladly welcomed for we realize that from this department will come the students who will carry on the ideals and the fellowship ot Port Huron High. No words can express our thanks to all the lower classmen for their splendid co-operation and we trust that they will be pleased with the departments that are devoted to them. We are deeply grateful to the generous advertisers. Were it not for their generosity, we would indeed be at sea. The assistance they extend is an expression of true friend- ship for the students of our school. We want you to read every “ad,” for you will find their arrangement an innova- tion. We are indebted for the idea to the “Coyote” ot Nebraska Wesleyan University. In closing we wish to express our gratitude, not because it is an honored custom but because of the sincerity ot our appreciation to all who have faithfully devoted themselves to the success of the Student.

Soon after the opening of school their election was held. Chester Benedict was wisely chosen president; Mary Hall is vice- president; for secretary Carmela Graziadei was elected; Kenneth Church was honored with overseer of the treasury; advisors were Miss Woodward and Miss Seupholm. The “pep” of this class has been spread all through school. — Class of ’22. THAT JUNIOR PARTY On December 17, 1920, the Jolly Juniors assembled in the gymnasium of the Junior High School. At six o’clock dancing ceased and Santa Claus appeared on the scene. He caused great excitement when he distributed the costly gifts purchased at Woolworth’s. Bearing their gifts, the students next followed the scent of the eats, and were further pleased not only with the dinner but with the lovely Christmas decorations so ably prepared by Paul St. Denis. After dinner speeches were rendered. After casting one last glance at the table, now quite empty, some of the pleasure-seekers traveled homeward, others remained to the basket ball game with Marine City. P. A.

They elected their officers to gently guide them and urge them in climbing their steep paths to the height of Junior. Their officers were: President, John Ottaway; Vice-President, Erma Burns; Secretary, Charlene Shiland, and the “Money-keeper,” or Treasurer, Paul Soini. The faculty advisors were Miss Hayward and Miss Chapin. SOPHOMORE PARTY The best party of the year was given by the Sophomores in the Washing- ton High Gymnasium on November 23rd. The mothers of the Sophomores did more than their siiare in making the party the huge success that it was. The excellent supper which they served at about five-thirty consisted of roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown gravy, Boston baked beans, rolls, pickles, cocoa, jelly, ice cream and cake. After everyone had been “filled up,” Miss K. Philbrick and Miss Akers furnished music for dancing until nine o’clock. Miss Chapin and Miss Hayward deserve great credit for their efforts to make the party such a fine success. Louis Weil made a fine chairman for the committee and his work is much appreciated by the class of ’23. C. E.

At the first meeting fine class spirit was shown by the large number present and the interest taken in the proceed- ings. The committees appointed at this time to select the candidates for office, exercised good judgment in their choice. At the second meeting the following officers were elected: President ....... John MacDonald Vice-President ....... Phyllis Adams Secretary . . . . . . . Alberta Hoffman Treasurer ....... Kenneth Gaffield By strict attention to their duties and an unselfish devotion to class inter- ests these officers have been influential in promoting the spirit of loyalty and high standard of excellence which characterizes the class of Nineteen Twenty- Four. THE 911 FROLIC The 9B Frolic or “Get Acquainted” party was held in the gymnasium of the Junior High, a week after entering school in the fall of the year. Everyone was requested to write his name on a slip of paper which was pinned on his sleeve. “Ike” Snyder led in the playing of many games which furnished a very delightful afternoon. HALLOWE’EN PARTY A Hallowe ' en party was given by the 8B’s in October at the Washington Junior High School. Games were played. A guessing congest was also played, the prizes being won by Minnie Dresser and Margaret Smith. After the games refreshments were served and the party broke up. !l!ll!l!lllllll!ll!llllll!llltllllllllllll||llllllllll!ll!lll!llllllllllllllN 1 1) 2 1 STUD E N T 1921 lllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllin)IIIIIIIIIIIIHOUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIUniUllllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIII|llllll|lil!!llllllllllllllllll)ll!llllllllllllllllll!llllllllllll!lllllll!llli:!!llllllllll FRESHMAN PARTY On January 14th, the Freshman Class gave a delightful party at the Junior Higii School gymnasium. At six o’clock supper was served to more than two hundred and sixty members of the class by Miss Merigold, Miss Westley and five of the class mothers. The tables were placed in the halls on the first floor. Before supper each boy and girls were given a card with a number and picture upon it and they were to find their partners for supper and the grand march. After the “eats” the pupils assembled for the grand march led by Miss McNicol and Mr. Hunger ford. The gymn was prettily decorated with flags and red and white crepe paper. In the corners were cozy nooks for the dancers and onlookers, and in one was a Gypsy fortune-teller hidden in a bower of greenery. The floor of the gymn was divided into two parts by a white fence which ran crosswise. On one side the classmates danced to the music of the school orchestra, while on the other side was devoted to games for those who did not care to dance. The great success of the games during the evening was due to Miss Carlisle who was in c harge of that part of the amusements. The party came to an end about 10:30. Every one held a kindly feeling toward Miss McNicol for the extra hour she granted to the dancers. JUNIOR HIGH CANDY SALE Candy, if not eaten to excess, is good for people (children excluded). Having thought in mind we decided it was the best wav of raising money. The candy sale I am attempting to describe was held after school on Friday several months ago in the corridors of the Washington Junior High School under the auspices of the 8A girls. The boys also had a part, as they could eat. Two girls were selected from each class (of 8 A) to do the work. The candy was obtained by public donation from 8 A girls, and was neatly and daintily packed in boxes of assorted shapes and sizes. The forepart of the afternoon was occupied with the arranging and decor- ating of the tables in the corridors. Immediately after school was dismissed the selected girls appeared looking very attractive in their “fudge aprons.” The halls sounded like a magpie reserve for a while; but it didn’t last long for within fifteen minutes the candy was all sold. We had made fifty dollars! This money was put in the fund to help pay for the piano we had recently purchased. Jean Raymer. MOTHERS’ RECEPTION A Mother’s reception was held at the Washington Junior High School in September of 1920 by the SB’s. A program was given by several pupils, after which the mothers were escorted through the building. Refreshments w ere served in the dining room. 38 iiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiituiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim 19 2 1 - S T U D ENT - 1921 lllllllllllllllllllilllllllltlilllllllillltflllllltlllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllH ASSEMBLIES Four assemblies planned for the purpose of physical exerc ise rather than a study hour at noon, and to develop the social life of the school have been given at Washington Junior High School. The admission charged has been ten cents and the proceeds have gone to the following: Two for benefit of Piano Fund. One for Camera Club (9A Civics). One for W. J. H. Athletic Association. These assemblies have lasted for a period of thirty-five minutes and every- one has had a good time with the exception of a few boys who have been too bashful to dance. The music has been furnished by Marvel Mann. Miss Carlisle has had charge of all assemblies and they have been very successful under her direction. All assemblies have been very well attended. Conspicuous at these assemblies are not only Freshmen but also the lower grades from the fifth up. Thus, practically the whole school has enjoyed them and it is hoped by everyone that they will be continued. Marzelle Langtry. THE GLEE CLUBS The Glee Clubs of the .Junior High were organized in October, 1920. The officers of the Boys’ Club are: James Sinclair, President; Harold Stevens, Secretary-Treasurer; Cecil Turner, Librarian. Those chosen by the girls are: Dorothy Airman, President; Bernadine Fair, Secretary-Treasurer; Louise Henson, Librarian. A portion of the Girls’ Club sang in a concert February 21, 1921. Although it is regretted bv all that more public perf rom- ances have not been held, the coming season is expected to bring with it many engagements for both clubs. Practice was suspended during the Music Memory contest and the period given over to the study of these selections. The Junior High is very proud of its record in the contest, having captured the first prize and seventeen others. The prize winners are as follows : Elsie Burns $25.00 Dorothy Drake Jane Cook Laura Howard Blanche Peters Margaret Monsell Marion Oag Virginia Schaller Vance Schaller Jean Raymer Marvel Wigh Gertrude Kemp Olive Myron Ruth Perkins Mildred Collard Virginia Dexter Katherine Fitzpatrick Helen Cook 39 iniiimttiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii ' .iiiiui iiiiiiiiiiiiijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 19 2 1 - S T U 1) E lllllllllllllllWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUHIIIIIflllllllllllilfflHIIIIIIIIIIIIimJHIIIllBinilllllllHUlHIIIIIIIUIIWlUllllHIIIIUlPIIUIllllMlIIIUMItUU N T - 19 2 1 [liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuuiiiiiiMitiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiuiiiimiiiiifiiifiiiiiiuiiiiiHiii THE “GYM” TELLS ITS OWN STORY I am greatly pleased with this year’s work. I have been very prosperous and have not had a minute to spare. Everything from the Kindergarten’s Fairy Dances to the thrilling basket ball games have been held within my four walls. While I am speaking of basket ball games I want to mention the exciting games that have been held both by the Junior and Senior teams. The people of the city have been repaid for attending them. Besides the school games many others have been held under my roof, including the . M. C. A. team and the Muller Metals Company. The Boy Scouts also spend two nights each week playing games and prac- ticing their drills upon my floor. Many people turn out on Wednesday evening to enjoy the dancing and games. It pleases me to be able to entertain the older people as well as the young. Of all the parties that have been held within my four walls I was never so proud of myself as the night of the Ninth Grade Class party. I was decor- ated in the most becoming manner with the flags of the United States. My cosy corners were fitted out with rugs, easy chairs and floor lamps, while the center of my floor was given over to games and dancing. I never before saw a group of students who enjoyed themselves more. I am glad one day was set aside for rest. The Sabbath is the only time I have for rest and I certainly need it after a week of such strenuous work. I wish that there might be more gymnasiums in the city. It would take a heavy load off my shoulders and the people of Port Huron would have more enjyoment. — Author Unknown — Junior High. THE JUNIOR HIGH ORCHESTRA The Junior High Orchestra was organized in October, and has made rapid progress under the direction of Mr. Schubert. Every member has been present at each practice which accounts in a large measure for their success. The orchestra has played for several events, among them being a Coffee under the auspices of the Parent-Teachers’ Association, the Freshman party and the entertainment celebrating the eighth anniversary of the Parent- Teachers’ Association. They are now rehearsing with the Senior High Orches- tra for the High School Concert. The orchestra consists of the following members: Marvel Ma? n. . William Metzger Carl Patzke . .

There was also an exhibit of art from all the grade schools in the city under the direction of Miss Loughead, supervisor of drawing. Acting as a reception committee were Mrs. Lincoln Avery, Mrs. B. S. Summers, Mrs. E. W. Keifer, and Mrs. W. D. Hall, who have all been presi- dents of the association; Mrs. H. A. Davis, Miss McNicol, Miss Clark and Miss MeCormkk, principals of the schools. The coffee was deemed a great success both socially and financially as the proceeds amounted to two hundred and forty-five dollars. WASHINGTON JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL The basketball season of 1920-21 of the Washington Junior High Team has been very successful. Out of sixteen games played, this promising quintet lost but three, which were played on unfamiliar floors. Not once was the Junior team defeated on its own court. On February 25, tiie team laid claim to the City Championship for Junior teams bv defeating the V. M. C. A. Leaders. This quintet also claims the County Championship of the sixteen- year-old class along with its string of victories. This fast five scored 372 points while their opponents made only 219. Much credit is due Coach Meyers for his splendid work in developing the players, and it is very likely some of our boys will play on the Senior High team next year. Raymond Hupf.rt — “Dynamite” is a very good guard and an excellent player. He is Captain of the team and well deserves the honor. Neil Marshall — “Nig” is in the midst of every game and a faster for- ward would be hard to find. George Airman is a good center and makes many baskets. He is the able Business Manager of the team. Thomas Labberdie — “Tommy” does highly commendable work as a guard. His playing is not spectacular, but he is very necessary to the team. Calvin Matthews — A fast forward and good running mate for Marshall and Aikman. His fine work has led the team to many victories. Eugene Stark — (Sub.) “Starky” has proved his good playing in many games and is always ready to get into the fray. James Sinclair — (Sub.) “Jimmie” has not played in enough games to win his letter, but he was ready at all times to render his services. JUNIOR HIGH 16— Y. M. C. A. 15 The opening game of the season was played December 11 , 1920, with the Y. M. C. A. five. The Y boys led in the first half, but could not hold the lead in the second half, when our boys made their winning points. il iiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiitniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiinii 1 9 2 1 - S T U D E N T 1 9 2 1 nniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii JUNIOR HIGH 37— PART TIME SCHOOL 3 On December 18, the Junior High team played a one-sided game with the Part Time School boys.

Marion Oag. WASHINGTON JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Washington Junior High football season, taken as a whole was a successful one. The team won five games out of the seven played. It was perhaps the brilliant playing of Hupert, Labordie and Mathews along with the good coaching of Mr. Harbolt, that brought this about. The first game played was against the L. A. F s at Pine Grove Park. This was an easy victory, the Juniors winning 21 to 6. Later in the season we won over the same team by a score of 19 to 13. Marysville High School team was next on the list, our football fighters playing them on their home field. This was a much harder fought game. Marysville crossed the goal line in the first half but failed to kick the goal. This left the score 6 to 0 and thus it remained until the last seven minutes of the game when Hupert securing the pigskin went over the line for a touchdown. “Cabby” kicked the goal with success and a few minutes later the whistle blew. The score stood 6 to 7 in favor of our team. When Marysville played here at a later date our team lost to them by a score of 7 to 20. The Washingtonians later played the Independents on the home field. This did not prove to be an even match, our team winning with a score of 30 to 7. The football fighters next went to Marine City and a hot battle ensued in which the local team lost with a score of 6 to 18. But the Washington Juniors atoned for this in a later game on the home field, winning by one point, the score being 14 to 13. The line-up for the Washington Junior High team was as follows: Right End ....... Gerald Walters Right Tackle Milton Tuer Right Guard ...... Robert Wahlman Center ........ James Sinclair Left Guard ........ Robert Orr Left Tackle ....... Wesley Johnson Left End ........ John Wagner bull Back ....... Raymond Hupert Right Half-back ......

In 1900 the population of Port Huron was 19,158, in 1910 it had decreased to 18,863. In fact up to 1917. the population of Port Huron was below the 1900 figure. Since 1917 it has increased until it now approaches 30,000. It was because the boy and girl graduates as a rule went to other cities. They felt that there were more prospects for a future elsewhere than in their home city. But times have changed or rather Port Huron has changed. Port Huron now has a future that cannot be doubted. Just take a trip around Port Huron and see the host of Port Huron graduates who have flocked back to town because of the prospects here and in Marysville. There is always a sentiment attached to the city that you were brought up in and no matter how far your travels may lead you, the feeling that you are back “home” again is the greatest of all. The builders of a city are not so much the outside blood that comes in, but 50 MfsuiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiuiPiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiitiiiiiMimtnHiiiiiiiiii ' .iitiiiiiitiiiiimimiiii ' 1.9 2 1 S T U I) E N T 1 9 2 1 iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiittHiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiwuii™ the youths of the town that settle down and boost and work for tiie future of their city as well as themselves. It is up to the alumni of the Port Huron High School to help the city take advantage of the great opportunity that is now at hand. Those in school now reallv have a future before them. But it takes boosters, there has been too much knocking, and the optimistic spirit cannot be cultivated too early. Arthur Buckeridge — T o. VOICES OF THE PAST For so long the Alumni of the Port Huron High School was considered as an inactive, disinterested body. It was formed into an association, but this was too large and too unweildy a group for a few ambitious ones to handle, and, nothing was accomplished. Tiiis last year, the Alumni have shown signs of life, they have taken an interest in the school, and school activities. We feel that they are boosting for our athletic field, our school and our Student. But why shouldn’t those who have graduated from Port Huron High take pride in it? Why shouldn’t they take an interest in the school to which they owe their education, for the most part? The Alumni Association of Port Huron High School could be made a wonderful organization if only co-operation could be secured. It is co-opera- tion and that “get-together” spirit among the members that gains something and we are confident that the Alumni will do things this year. PORT HURON’S MARS HILL Imagine yourself standing about sixty-five years ago on the north side of Wall Street opposite the present location of the library gazing on what was then called Court Square. This is what you would have seen: At the far side of the park an elevated area of sand with a crescentic ridge curving from the northwest to the southeast. In the foreground at the base of the ridge was a swale dotted here and there with bunches of wild fleur-de-lis; bordering the swale on the near side along Wall Street was a narrow board walk on stilts to keep the passers-by out of the wet; near the walk at the west border ot the swale was a tamarack tree. At the east end of the walk and a little south, parallel with Sixth Street, was the old Episcopal Church, the back end of it rising form a six foot stone foundation, the front end of the church on a level with the top of the sand ridge and resting upon it. From the vestibule of the church a line of five or six large pine trees crowned the ridge and curved to the southwest. A large oak tree occupied a spot midway between Sixth and Seventh Streets on what is now Court Street. Your mind’s eye has now looked upon the topography of the center of a small area on and around which more schools and educational factors have been located than upon any other similar area in Port Huron. Twelve buildings on, or immediately adjacent to, the Second Ward Park have been used for school purposes. Here six churches have 51 iiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitii 19 2 1 - S T U D E N T - 19 2 1 liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiitii been erected and six church societies established.

In point of service he is the senior physician of the city and has always been accorded the distinction of ranking as one of the best. In addition to his medical skill, he is the possessor of an exceptionallv line voice that the public, and especially the Church to which he belongs, has for over fifty years enjoyed. He has been both student and teacher in the Port Huron High School and closely identified with all its educational interests.

Man alive, it’s simple! “Success is the elimination of the distance between two points, the one you want to leave and the one you wish to reach.” There you have it. O, ho, but notice — “the one you wish to reach ” That is important. You must have a goal toward which you work — and work you must! What’s the use of working if you don’t get anywhere? It is the same as an auto stuck in the mud — and without chains. You must have a goal in life, something you w ant to reach most of all. Set your eye on it! Keep it there! And then — work, work, and work some more ! — Editor. REMINISCENCES Here we are at the end of four years’ work, leaving our High for a deeper plunge into the w aters of Life. We regret leaving this old school, yet we are also glad. Regretful because we shall leave many friends, and we, ourselves, shall take different paths; glad because it symbolizes a mile-stone in our lives, the mile-stone of something definitely done. Some of us shall continue to hover around Life’s surging w ' ay and shall go to college. How we wish that all might cast their fortunes there! Others will breast the tide, start Life’s struggle now, and fight their w ay to success. The old school has found a place in our hearts, a place of reverence and respect. We stand in the portals and cast one last, lingering glance backward. Have we proved ourselves worthy, worthy of ojd Port Huron High and of the friendships formed? Yours for success, The Editor. I CAN’T! How do you know you can’t? You never tried. There are so many people in this school as well as in this world who are always saying “I can’t” whenever anything is asked or proposed. These people generally have no ideals or ambitions. They have no desire to rise in the world. If they would only take a brace and say “I can ” they would surprise themselves. — Literary Editor. 55 .niiinimiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiJiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiciiiiimiiiHiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiniiiiiiniiitiiKiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiii 19 2 1 ST U I) E iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiimiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiitriiMiiiMiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitmiiiiiiij N llllllllllllllUHIlllUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIHIIIIIIitlliriillilillllltllltlllllllllllllllllll T 19 2 1 !l!!!lllllllllll!llllllllllllllllllllllllli!lllll||||lliintnt||||||||||||||||il||||||||||||||i CHEATS What is a cheater.

Gen- erally they are so lenient and tender-hearted as to yield. Why would it not be the best thing in the world for those dependent students not to be so tenderly dealt with? Let’s start a campaign for a school of Independents, and not have so mahv dependent clauses around ! I hey are a menace to the raising of our standards. — Literary Editor. SCHOOL AIMS Our school is an institution wherein we have the privileges of learning. The aims of our school are to grant to the students in attendance the opportunities for learning as much in the various branches offered therein as are granted by any high school. P. H. H. S. aims to raise the standards of the individual and not send out students “cut from the same pattern.” It tries to develop individuality. But school and its aims differ widely from the students and their aims. The average student attends High School out of obedience to the desires of his or her parents rather than from any ambition of his or her own. This does not apply to each and every student — only in a general way. Their aims are, usually, only as high as are their own desires — not their parents. If the student who leaves P. H. H. S. does not measure up to her standards it is that individual s fault. There are some — and their numbers are not a few who have “hitched their wagon to a star.” On the other hand there are many who come to while away time, never thinking of studying more than is abso lutely necessary. If every student would avail him and herself of every oppor- tunity P. H. H. S. offers and go at the work in the proper spirit tiie general standard of our school would be raised to a higher degree. — Literary Editor. 19 2 1 19 2 1 S T U D E N T iiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiuwiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiBiMiHMiiiiiliiiiiiiM PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE S we look back upon our four years of school life we wonder what we have A done. Perhaps the first thing that enters our minds is the consciousness of having conquered four years of distressing studies. But there are other tilings — perhaps more valuable to us than all the knowledge we have acquired during that period. There are the friends we have made, the honors we have enjoyed, whether on the athletic field or in the class-room and briefly — that is what we have achieved. And hand in hand with Achievement walks Aspiration. The value of high aims is not realized by many but from time immemorial, philosophers have understood their worth. Tryon Edwards said, High aims form high charac- ters, and great objects bring out great minds.” J. Hawes advises us to “Aim at the sun, and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself, and J. R. Eowell reminds us that “Not failure, but low aim, is crime.” However, high aims alone never built anything but air castles and if we would realize our aspirations we must remember the words of Joshua Reynolds who says that “Nothing is denied to well-directed labor and nothing is ever to 57 HillliiUllHlli tiimiiitii(iftiiiiiiitiriimii iiiiiniiiiiiiiiimiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiii niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiitiiiiitii!

It may be true that opportunity knocks but once at every man s door, but it is poor policy at best to sit around the house waiting for it to knock. High aims and hard work are indispensable to success, that goal we all strive to reach. May you all have the good fortune to attain success. Jack Taylor, President of the Class of 21. CLASS HISTORY O NE fine day in the month of September in the year 1917, a motly band was seen approaching the well known “Institution for Improving the Mind” on Erie Street. They had heard the guarantee of this establish- ment to cure any ease of illiteracy (except those too far gone) in four years and had decided to try it. It was a scorching day. Beads of perspiration caused by fear as well as heat, stood out upon the brows of the shaky, much discomfited, Freshmen. With quivering hearts and several stubbed toes they gained access to the auditorium — later to be familiarly known as A. H. — not without incurring the disdainful and amused glances of the Seniors, who were more learned and who occupied Room M. Nothing of importance happened the first day except that Francis Appel got into the chemistry laboratory by mistake and was found later draped over a sand bath. An open chloroform bottle in his hand explained that Francis’ inquisitive nature had led him to this deed. Near by, gracefully curled around the Kipp ' s apparatus, was found the inert body of John Allen, who had like- wise fallen under the charm of the Elysian draught. His clothes were satur- ated with carbon di-sulphide, but a few rides in his Ford soon remedied that. The class, however, settled down to serious thoughts long enough to elect officers. 1 liese were: Rowden Kilets, president; Dorothy Orr, vice-president; Doris Green, Secretary; Robert White, treasurer; Herbert Noel, Sergeant-at- Arms, and the advisors were Miss Chapin and Mrs. Kirkpatrick. The teachers chosen to carefully restrain and guard this flock were Miss Mueller and Miss Howard. By this time the Seniors had overlooked the discrepancies of the Freshmen sufficiently to invite them to the Senior-Freshman party. Indeed, some Seniors (masculine) had unbent so far as to help Freshmen girls with their I.atin, but they did it merely out of charity, of course. The party was quite a success and the Freshmen made a brilliant debut. Refreshments were served and Russel Simms broke all previous records in the consummation of food which has still remained unchallenged. After an enjoyable vacation, most of the Freshmen came back and assumed the role of Sophomore. Frank Allen proudly displayed a coat of tan to his (lass- mates, as his complexion had always been a source of annoyance to him. The Sophomores were more reckless than they had been. Frequent visits were made 58 jiiniiii.iiiiiiiiiimitiiMiiiiiiiitinuiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiim 1 ) 2 1 S T U D E N T - 19 2 1 iiiituniiiinittiiiiiiiniuiuiiuutmiiiiuiuuuiiuwuusiuiiiiinitiiinMiiiiiiiHiiiiiiniiiHiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiniiiiuiuwQHUuriiiiwmiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiuum — and not voluntarily either — to Mr. Hungerford’s office and the seats occupied by them in the seventh hour session rooms were conspicuous by their emptiness. Not long after the opening of school the election of officers took place. The following were the class choice: Vm. Hartman, president; Mavis Warner, Vice-President, later president; Frances Smith, secretary; Russell Simms, treasurer. The social event of this year was the Sophomore party. Dancing (?) was enjoyed and participated in more than it had been previously, and to quote the “Daily Scream,” a “good time was had by all.” A fine banquet served in the basement of the school satisfied even the ravenous appetites of Russell Simms and Roy Stewart. During this year the Sophomores had gained self-confidence. No longer did they fear the Seniors! With disdain they loked back upon their Freshman year and with pleasure they anticipated their Junior year. From bold recklessness to social gavety the class passed as they entered their Junior year. The class had lost many of its members because of the war. Not by death but because of the tantalizing wages offered in the neighboring factories. Naturally, the first result of this was the Junior party. One of the painful (?) events of the evening was the experimenting by Jay Corsant of his newlv acquired dancing ability upon all the female victims he could secure. Luckily their feet soon became paralyzed so that the operation was less annoy- ing as the evening passed on. About the same time Herbert Noel, be-aproned and with wilted collar, endeavored to force an ice cream freezer to give up its contents by employing a flexible teaspoon. Needless to say, he reimbursed him- self with sufficient ice cream to merit his labor. The party was certainly lively. Previously to this the usual offices had been filled. Francis Appel was elected president; Frances Smith, vice-president; Eleanor Meisel, secretary; Geo. Mclnnis, treasurer. Miss Woodward and Miss Blake were chosen for class advisors. The Junior-Senior party was entered into enthusiastically by the Juniors. As usual, dancing was the pastime. There were barrels of punch and every- body had all they wanted ! The clean-up squad the next day helped to put the finishing touches on the punch as well as the school. The Senior year was a joy and a sorrow to the class — joy because they were at least Seniors — sorrow because they must work as never before. Early in the first term the guiding officers were placed at the helm of the class: Geo. Mclnnis, president; Eleanor Meisel, vice-president; Ruth Scliuck, secretary; Kenneth De Graw, treasurer; Herbert Noel, sergeant-at-arms. Jack Taylor was elected president for the second semester. The advisors were Miss North- rup and Miss By waters. The rapids to be passed in the hitherto sea of bliss was English 7, but after floundering for some time, the English course Seniors under the guidance of Miss Northrup, gained sufficient strength to pass safely through, and to prepare for the final dash — English 8. An important addition to the Senior Class was Mr. Hugh Ward. His large-rimmed glasses and stud ious look were noticed by all and he was soon 59 19 2 1 llltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll|||||||||!llll||l||llllltlllllllllllll!llllltli ' llllllllllll|||||ll||||l||||tl||||t||||IUIt||ll||||||||||l|||l|||||il|||||||l iiiiii!iiiiiii(i!iiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiitiiiiitiiii!iiiiiiiiiHiiiiii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii S T U I) E N 1 9 2 snatched up as chairman of the Senior Council. Needless to say, his “Reign of Terror” will be remembered long after the Seniors are gray-headed. The Senior-Freshman party was duly taken care of with each Senior guar- dian to at least a half-dozen Freshmen. Dancing, games, cider and doughnuts, and movies, filled the evening with joy. Athletics were well supported by the Seniors as a large number of Seniors played on the various teams. There were also a good many Seniors on the girls basket ball team, and, although they were able to play but one game, the Seniors had cause to be proud of them. Their team marks the beginning of real girls’ athletics in P. H. H. S. and it is to be hoped that it will not be the end. Early in the year the monitor system was adopted by the Senior room. This was a great improvement for the students. A great many Seniors soon were able to talk without moving their mouths, and note-passing became a fine art like jiu-jitsu in order to avoid the ever watchful gaze of the monitors — Kenneth De Graw and Herbert Noel. The year soon passed and graduating was before the Seniors. The usual feeling of mingled joy and sorrow were everywhere in evidence. As we look back over the past four years, we feel that our time in Port Huron High lias been well worth while. The sorrows and joys we have known here form a link in the chain of memory which we shall never forget. Janet Marshall and Gladys McKay — 21.

My friend and I had finished our shopping and were leisurely strolling along the busy main street of the city of Lyons in France. We stopped to peer into a beautiful window of French laces and embroidery, just ahead of which hung a huge sign very attractively decorated with French art. Naturally when we turned away from the window this large obstacle in view drew our attention, and we stopped and read, “Professor Reno, world’s greatest mind-reader and hypnotist. Welcome to those who wish to fathom the many problems of the great unknown.” This, of course, was written in the foreign language, but as my friend was of that country she readily translated it for me. After meditating dubiously for some time as to whether we should enter or not, we finally walked up the long dark stairway, being unable to resist the fascinating mystery of it all. The large panel door, at which we knocked, was opened by a middle-aged woman beautifully gowned in Parisian clothes, who ushered us in to an elegantly-furnished room. It was not long before I was asked to go alone into the adjoining room where I was received, much to my surprise, by a very human-looking, feeble old man with white hair. He led me to an upholstered chair where I sat down, and found myself facing a large glass sphere. I was first asked what I would most like to know. After thinking for a few minutes my mind began to wander back to the days of 1921 in Port Huron High School, and I thought what a wonderful thing it would be to hear again about my old classmates. I was now asked to look steadily into the globe before me, and as I did so I felt myself gradually falling — falling away. How- ever, I soon reached the bottom where, I was lightly bounded into a beautiful garden. Seated there was a pretty young lady of my own age. She seemed very friendly, and appearing to have a wide knowledge began to talk to me about my classmates, much to my interest and joy. She began with Eliza Cowfin whom I remembered so well as having been our literary editor on the Student Staff. She is now assistant editor for the Detroit News. Jay Corsaut , who still retains his pink cheeks and innocent babv smile, is a famous actor in plays for children. De Mille, the great play pro- ducer on a trip to Port Huron had cast his eyes upon fair Corinne Ryden as the sweet innocent character of his “Egyptian Harem,” and Ruth Moore as his vampire star of the same play. Eugene Black lias become very wealth v as a result of inventing an efficient shock absorber which he first experimented with on a South Park car. Four long years of hitting the high spots on this line gave him the inspiration. Thelma Berkley has become the greatest suffragette of tlie country. She is even contemplating running for governor of Michigan. Albert Dixon, relenting of his wayward ways, has sought his abode in a mon- astery, where he expects to gain forgiveness. Ruth Schuck and Eugene Dimmick are touring the European countries on tiieir honeymoon in the famous Wills St. Claire car of Marysville.

Francis Appel , though the originator of the Bachelors Club and a confirmed believer in its rules, against his will was helplessly caught in the web of matrimony at the age of forty. Olive Bradley and Janet Marshall are Physical Directors in two of the largest universities. Their interest was aroused through their success at basketball in P. H. H. S. Herbert Noel, who has been studying art in France for the past five years, married his model and is now working on a painting which he expects to place in a French art gallery. Eleanor Meisel as a reporter on the Society Staff of the New York Times, is delving into the depths of the social scandals of that great Cosmopolis. How- ever, her recently announced engagement will soon take her from her work, and Winifred Boxcell, her efficient protege and under-study, expects to take her place. Edward Parsons, whose deep intellect often sores to higher levels, is in the aerial mail service between Europe and America. Helen Jenks has become head dietician in Detroit Harper hospital. Of late she lias made many lectures along this line before the public. Donald Sperry is Port Huron’s human fly. He reached the top of Knox’s store on hands and knees — mostly knees. It is believed he said his prayers before reaching the bottom. Frances Smith, shortly after graduation, took up farming on a scientific scale at M. A. C. It is surely a pleasing sight to see this young woman in her new farmerette costume feeding her flock of chickens. Lila Miller and Iconise Gruel are running a Ladies’ Manicure Parlor. Their new invention has been quite profitable; that is, the system of making women satisfied with their noses, by having them shined by a manicurist rather than powdering them. Russell Simms is a retired millionaire, having made his money from leading a notorious Jazz Band. Lillian Duck is a professional swimming teacher. No wonder! It shows what’s in the name! Jack Taylor has realized his greatest ambition for which he was in training in the class of 21. He is now President of the United States. Roy Stuart, to the surprise of all his friends, has become a pronounced woman-hater. Lillian Fox and Mildred Ludy have overcome their modesty and are now playing in the Follies of 1930. Eldred Miller, the “cut-up” of the class of ’21, is a butcher in the city of Chicago. Wayne Frink, with the aid of his assistant Mr. Bluff, has made great success in his business career. His only desire now is for a wife. No woman yet has filled the requirements, and since tile end of the list is near at hand it is feared he is doomed to stay single. Rosabel Lee, after graduating from U. of M., instead of becoming a Latin teacher with specs and wrinkles, wasted her life on a mere man. How pathetic when life is the dearest thing on earth. Annabelle Sickles is a lady physician in Port Huron. She gained much of her experience in the surgical line by experi- menting with bugs in her childhood. Carl Holth is assistant basketball coach at U. of M. He does not fail to impress upon his players the necessity of tying their shoelaces when they come undone. Jeanne Ryan is travelling in South America, accompanying a wealthy lady whose private secretary she is. How- ever, as her wedding with a 1920 graduate of P. H. H. S. is to take place shortly, she expects to return soon. Kenneth Deyraxc is an engineer graduate of Boston Tech.

Winifred Colville has become a prominent public speaker in women’s clubs in Pittsburgh. She usually chooses subjects pertaining to life and its many joys. Frances Holland, after spending a part of her life posing for magazine covers, settled down to happy married life. Franklyn Cowles is the leading acrobat in vaudeville at the Temple Theatre, Detroit. He has been offered a much better salary to become leader of the Salvation Army, but it is rumored he prefers his present vocation. Dorris Green who, after graduating from a Ladies’ College, became a private detective, soon detected the man she loved and married him. Colburn Beedon has become a preacher in a noted English cathedral. In carrying his profession across the ocean he did not fail to take with him his dearest friend Oilier Bartow, who is choirmaster in the same church. Martha Hay man and Mary V anV alkenburg have gone into the Tea Room business in which they share and share alike. How sad that this is their motto when they are in love with the same man! Byron Philps is the country’s greatest athlete. After several years of much publicity and travel- ling, he has settled down to married life and takes great pleasure in coaching High School teams of his home city. Mabel Smith is enjoying herself at the wonderful City of Atlantic, where she spends her valuable time combing the beach in a bathing suit and picture hat. Donald Ross is the star in his company of Shakespeare players. He excels in Macbeth. Bethel Smith is operating a new one-man street car which she manages very successfully. However, she is contemplating taking a position in Detroit which was offered her recently, as a librarian. John Allen and Frank Allen have gone into the Barnum Bailey circus as snake charmers. The outside world was too wild for them. Gladys McKay, known for her public speaking and special reports, is now an English teacher at P. H. H. S. Merle Ashley and Bertrand Baker are traffic officers on Woodward avenue, Detroit. However, their eyes are too often attracted else- where than on their duty, and the traffic is allowed to run unrestrained. Beta McJennett is travelling in Turkey for a Toledo concern. She has developed a mania for oriental rugs many of which she expects to bring back with her. Russell Fenner is running an elevator in the Port Huron High School which has attained ten stories. Edwin Hoff mail is a famous auto racer. His greatest accomplishment was the tour of the world in five days. George Mclnnis is a missionary in India. He is converting the heathen by thousands through his worthy examples and persuasion. Grace Thorne has just completed a cele- brated book, “The Trail of Peace and Contentment.” She is very proud of being its author and expects to continue her work. Guy Manuel and his wife are teaching ball-room dancing. He soon expects to retire on his money made from this natural profession. Nina Powrie is a secretary to C. H. Wills in the extensive company of Wills-Lee. Samuel Stecher, one of our quiet class- mates, is a comedian in the Gaiety Theatre, Detroit. A humorous man cannot be kept down. Hazel Sawden graduated just recently as a dentist. She is gaining a fine practice, and makes a specialty of false teeth. Arthur Taylor has started in the business of gents’ furnishings.

Her life is in great danger in this study of the human race, and she is always in fear of making tender eating for the cannibals. Eldon Stocks has grown to he a man of fifteen feet. He is the tallest giant ever kiunyn, and is kept as a curiosity in Washington. Elaine Schell, after successfully obtaining a divorce from her husband, is now the leading lady in one of the Grand Operas of the day. Hugh Ward is a member of the House of Representatives of the State of Michigan. Few bills ever pass when he is an opposer. He received his debating experience in English eight classes at old P. H. H. S. where he so enjoyed trying to sway Miss Northrup. A few years after graduation, English eight and especially Hamlet ' s words to Opehlia, “Get thee to a nunnery, began to play upon the mind of Helen Brown. So she took consolation in becoming one of these veiled sisters in a convent where she is now teaching music. Genevieve Scrarnlin, a Boston archi- tect, is working on her latest attempt for that city, a building of fifty stories. Though not wishing anyone bad luck she prefers to bestow upon someone else the honor of being first to promenade the fiftieth story. Gladys Mitchell, by her bravery of late in rescuing several people from a very large fire which she so successfully extinguished, has been promoted to Chief of Fire Department in Port Huron. It has always been surmised that it would take the level head of a woman to reach the top of the ladder first. Now I had learned the long and exciting story of my friends and their various destinies. I still looked toward the beautiful woman who had so charmed me, as if I were waiting for her to tell me more; but suddenly 1 felt myself moving upward, and as I reached the top the smiling face of the old hypnotist reappeared to me very dimly, and slowly. I was soon myself again on terra firma and after rejoining my friend in the outer office we made our way out into the sunshine, where I related to her my wonderful dream for which I would not have taken a great sum of money.

He was through with women forever — at eighteen! Women, reflected John, were unfathomable, ( unning, sly, deceitful, treacherous. Why women were — ! ? — ! ! ! — ’ ! ! But there, I am too much of a lady to tell you all Joh n thought about women, and besides, all tile dashes, dots, and explanations in the world could never have expressed John’s opinion of women at that moment. John ' s mood was strangely at variance with his surroundings. Seated on the log bench under the rose hedge, it seemed impossible to think anything but nice rosy thoughts. His thoughts, however, were far from rosy. He had just received a terrible shock. The shock w’as in the form of Jane Ellen — but there, I believe I ve broken Poe’s 469th rule. One really mustn’t get ahead of his story. So to begin at the beginning on know’, there are three stages in the development of the modern young man. They are: 1, his first date; 2, the first time he “slams” his best girl; 3, the first time his best girl “slams” him. The first experience may be described as sweet, the second as bitter-sweet, but the third — ah! it is bitter! John had just passed through the third stage, so it is very easy to see whv his thoughts w ere not rosy. It all began with that beastly invitation, he re- flected. Two bids to the T. G. P. dance had put the crimpers in him. One bid, of course, w as for himself, and the other for the lady of his choice. The T. G. P. was socially exclusive — at least it was the height of anyone’s social ambitions who lived in Wheaton, especially, say, if you w’ere eighteen. Now’, it follows that if you had received two bids to the T. G. P. party, you’d naturally invite your best girl. Jane Ellen was John’s best girl. Blue eyed, golden haired, dimpled — she’s the kind that perhaps you’ve thought never really existed outside of a fairy tale. J ane Ellen did exi st, however, in fact she existed in the house right next door to John’s. John intended to ask Jane Ellen until Ardis came along. Now it wasn t that John had never seen Ardis before, and w r as suddenly struck by her dazzling beauty; and it w’asn’t that he was unduly fickle either; but the catas- trophe w’as due to the tact that Ardis w’as a social climber. She knew’ John had tw’o bids to the T. G. P. party, she knew’ she wanted a bid to the T. G. P. party, and what’s more she knew she was going to get it. Armed with the knowledge of these three things Ardis was positively invincible. Of course, she won out. Then the trace of the tragic entered into our tale. John had the bid, he had the girl, but he had no dress suit. This last circumstance was not in itself an unusual phenomena, most young snips of eighteen haven’t a dress suit. (Shh ! This is a secret!) They rent ’em or wear their big brother’s. Fortun- ately or unfortunately, there w ' as no place in Wheaton to rent a dress suit, and also John had no big brother. What’s more, John’s expenditures never kept pace with his allowance, so he couldn’t buy one. John sat in his father’s den, pondering over this weighty problem. Two 68 1111 •I miiuuiuiu 19 2 1 S T U D E N T - 19 2 1 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiin bids + one girl — one dress suit =? It was too much for poor John. If he could only raise the money to buy one ! Of course, the money would have to be raised from dad. After the manner of all diplomatic sons in need of money, John sat in eloquent silence until Dad should finish his evening’s paper. To all appear- ances John was deeply engrossed in a volume of Scheele’s Psychology, but truth to tell he wasn’t even thinking of Scheele’s Psychology for his optic powers were, from time to time, concentrated on the back of Dad’s red plaid smoking jacket which had been designed and executed by Aunt Abigail as a Christmas present to Dad. It was a red-blue-green plaid broadcloth, cut on straight determined lines. Aunt Abigail’s avocation was embroidery, and it was her boast that there were forty-nine different stitches on that coat! The stitches were utilized in the execution of yellow sunflowers in double rows down the back, and in cattail stitching around the bottom. The buttons were of a dazzling purple, and the whole coat was lined in turkey-red satin. As a crowning touch to this work of art, Aunt Abigail had added a tuxedo collar of plum colored satin. John soon wearied of the inspection of the coat, and Dad finally wearied of his paper. The conversation began — and ended in a way that John had not expected. Dad was very emphatic that John would have no dress suit, and what was worse — that John was not going to the dance. You can see that John’s problem was now infinitely worse. Two bids + one girl — one dress suit — what Dad said! The fateful day arrived and John made his plans. He was going to the dance, and also he was going in a dress suit. The dress suit he intended wear- ing was Dad’s. He had perfected all the plans necessary to the execution of his villainous project. Everything was so simple he was sure there could be no mishap. And there wasn’t, at least not a first. Eight-thirty came and John went upstairs. Dad was sitting in the den at the end of the hall. This, of course, was entirely unlooked for. So John, feeling very much like a guilty culprit, was obliged to tip-toe into Dad’s room. He was in a quandary, if he turned on the light he would surely be discovered. He groped his way to the clothes press and ran his hand over the clothes. He touched a satin collar. That was the dress coat; the trousers, however, required a longer search. But they were finally identified when he felt the braid down the sides. Solely bv the sense of touch he found the rest of the necessary raiment, and covering his plunder up with his light overcoat, he repaired to the wood-shed. It was a black night and the street lights were out. A wood-shed is not the most desir- able place for a gentleman’s boudoir, but in emergencies it will do. He dressed hurriedly, and having neither a light nor a mirror, he was unable to view his final resplendent appearance. With many misgivings he donned his overcoat and left for Ardis. In five minutes he was at Ardis’. She was waiting impatiently at the door with her wraps on. She scolded John roundly for being five minutes late, and 69 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini 19 2 1 S T U 1) E N T - 19 2 1 as soon as she had fully expressed herself on that subject, she complained that they should have taken a taxi. The T. G. P. hall was two blocks awav and her pumps would be ruined! John’s anticipations for an enjoyable evening began to sink. He felt very much like a little boy being scolded by his mother. They finally arrived and found the vestibule crowded with Wheaton’s “creme de la creme ’ and the traditionally stiff necked butler was there to divest them of their wraps. John removed his overcoat. He was thunder- struck! He ran his hand down the smooth Tuxedo collar — no, not the collar of Dad’s dress suit, but the collar of Dad’s famous turkey red smoking jacket!! John looked thunderstruck, (but Ardis looked more than thunderstruck). Ardis’ face paled, and then blushed; the first blush she had ever been known to blush. It out-rivalled the turkey red smoking jacket in its vermillion splendor. Vaguely John wished that the floor might swallow him up. The floor did no such obliging thing. Then he was aware that someone, or evervone, was remarking on his “trick” suit. Ardis put her cloak on again, and John willingly covered up his red brilliancy with his overcoat. They departed. Ardis had nearly winded herself before their arrival, and now she seemed suicide-bent in the same direction. The maledictions she poured forth on poor John fell on deaf ears. He was numb. He tried to explain, but how could a fellow explain without making himself more ridiculous. They parted, however, in silence. For this brief respite from her tongue, at least, he was thankful. John went home. He understood only too well, now, just what pattern Aunt Abigail had followed in making the smoking jacket, it was not the dic- tates of a variegated fancy. The poor woman had fashioned it after the plan of a gentleman’s dress coat ! It was no wonder that the smooth satin collar had fooled him in the dark ! On the subject of his ensuing emotions let us pass over briefly; they were too painful. Morning light, however, dispelled his black mood. He even managed to whistle an almost gav tune as he dressed. He looked out the window. Jane Ellen was in her garden. There, at least, thought John, was one person who would not go back on him. He strolled down into the garden. Jane Ellen was spraying the rose hedge with insecticide. With an insolent nonchalance, seem- ingly inherent in all young males, he lit his cigarette, and crossed through the hole in the hedge. Jane Ellen was surprised when John appeared; not that she thought he wouldn’t come back, oh no!— they always do, just like lost puppy dogs. But she hadn’t expected it quite so soon. Jane Ellen looked up with a disarming little smile. John failed to interpret that smile correctly. “I say,” he began lamely, between puffs at his cigarette, “I say, I don’t believe I’d mind coming over to help you.” Oh, do, said Jane Ellen. “I’m sure the rose bugs will be delighted with your company !” She swung up the path and was gone. John sank limply on the little log bench under the rose hedge, in the posi- tion we found him at the beginning of our narrative. He was disillusioned, positively disillusioned. He was through with women forever!

Guest You can talk about vour lessons, and your mathematic airs, And your algebraic problems that Miss Chapin daily hears; But there isn’t any pleasure when you go to class and find That the way you worked your problems doesn’t work out to her mind. When your supper time is over and you’re learning how to say Some dreadful great big formula, then the work is under way, There’s premutations, combinations, quadratics great and small, And when I come to levers, I cannot work at all. There’s a terror most dramatic in determinants, they say, When you work ’way up in millions and it takes you most all day; And I gaze at them in horror and progressories then I see, Then — I often sit and wonder w hat my final mark will be.

As I work my inner consciousness thinks of you and my w r ork is better for the inspiration so secured. When I retired last evening two bright stars shone through my window and as I watched they seemed to be your eves and your features gradually shaped themselves about them until I felt I was again looking at you. Do you think they will look at me tonight? I am waiting now for the time I shall see you again. Almost a w r eek — one hundred fifty-four hours — nine thousand tw T o hundred forty minutes. I can t reduce it to seconds. I would despair of ever seeing them pass. But even as I write this they grow f less and I am nearer to seeing you again. I am sure if my teachers, only knew how ' zealous I am wdien it comes down to w hat really counts I would be certain of graduating, of a position and then maybe of — YOU. Dare I dream of it? Believe me, that I care only for you and “Thus, if thou w r ilt prove me, dear, Woman’s love no fable, I will love thee — half-a-vear — As a man is able.” I am yours till the Great Lakes are as dry as the sands of the shore.

A strain of romance that has filtered down through the ages, lends its charm and delight to even that early age. The Indians in their fancy, beaded costumes, sullenly sitting in their wig- wams or dancing to the light of flaring torches, and the accompaniment of their own shrill voices. Far down the river, a pioneer, with his wife and children, gazes far up the river, where he can almost see Detroit with its garrisons and soldiers. The vision melts away, and lie awakes to the reality of howling wolves, barking squirrels, and all forms of animal life. ’Twas in 1800, that a group of these settlers landed on the bank of St. Clair River, with their families, to erect homes and provide another habitation in the wilderness. One of these families, the Howes, located north of Bunce’s Creek. Their cabin was soon built, with its large, cheery, fire-place, and they settled down in their new home. A camp of Indians had their village directly across the river from Howe’s. They proved friendly, and soon there was a great deal of friendly intercourse between the two settlements. Indeed, the friendship grew so strong that many white folk exchanged presents with the Indians on Ciiristmas Day. The Indians, in return, held many of their celebrations and festivals on the west side of the river, so that the “white face, children of the great white father,” could enjoy the same things as they themselves enjoyed. One year, such a carnival was held about two days before Christmas. All the Indians were painted up, all had donned their feathers, and all were hilari- ously happy. Even some of the white people joined in the gala day. Only one Indian, the chief, remained at home. He was Antoine, son of Grandmother Road, and the chief of the Indians. He was ninety-six years old, and his strength was failing fast. He was supported by his tribe, and many white people sent blankets, rugs, and (ooking utensils over to him. He was a gentle old man, kind and generous to every one. In the midst of the carnival, one small child, daughter of the Howe family, overheard her mother telling of Chief Antoine’s illness and his feebleness. Well she remembered the baskets, beads and trinkets she had received from him. They were dear to her, and her heart filled with pity for the old man. She slipped from the crowd of merry-makers. Fastening her bright red cape around her closer, she ran down the bank and out on the frozen river. No thought of wild animals entered her thoughts. She was free from fear, and smiled to herself as she thought of how she had outwitted her parents. She picked her way carefully across the ice, following the tiny green pine needles which the Indians had put on the surface of the ice to indicate where the ice was safe. She reached the Canadian side safely, scrambled up the bank, and made her way to Antoine’s tent in the center of the village. 77 19 2 1 STUDENT - 1921 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilUIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIUllllllllllllllllllUIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlH “Antoine, Antoine ’ she called cheerily at the entrance of his lodge. “It’s the white baby come to see you. Can I come in?” “Hugh ! white man’s baby welcome. She come in. See Antoine.” She tripped in, her childish face aglow with the thought of being with the kindly old man. She walked to the side of the couch where he lay, and gravely offered him a long sticky piece of maple sugar. He nodded his head in denial. “Baby eat,” he smiled. They talked and talked, the child eagerly asking questions; the old chief gravely answering. “White squaw know where papoose is?” suddenly inquired the old man. The child’s face crimsoned, guiltily. “No, mamma home.” Then her face brightened. “Antoine can take me home?” He nodded assent. Without a w r ord of complaining, or a word of the wracking pain, he arose slowly, wrapped his blanket around him, took his cane, and led the child with her other hand. They reached the bank of the river, neither speaking; the child thinking of her disobedience, the old man filled with dread thoughts for the welfare of his “white baby.” “Oh!” cried the child, “Antoine, the ice is moving! Hear it crack?” He nodded in grave assent. ’Twas his worst fear confirmed. What could he do? The child must reach home that night. It was dark now. The Indians of his tribe would not return before the new dawn. He must do it alone! He, an old, faded worn-out Indian! He turned toward the child, no fear expressed on his face. “Me take white papoose home safe. Mamma wants. Come. Baby must be true to Antoine. Step just where Antoine tell baby to. See?” The child nodded assent. At the first bearing of their weight on the treacherous ice, it snapped angrily and parted ! They were left in two feet of water. Antoine only smiled and the child’s fine courage returned. Far up the river, he could see a faint white mass rapidly crashing down the river. ’Twas an ice-jam, he knew, and would stretch from side to side. He drew the child back, and together they waited. Ten minutes more, and the dull roar of crushed ice was borne to the ear, and Antoine knew the dash must be risked then. With typical Indian stolidism, he lifted the child to his shoulders, and leaped onto the swollen, angry mass. It held ! With uns wavering motive, he leaped from one whirling mass to another, always moving farther up stream and heading for the American coast. The child was beside herself with fear. The turbulent, riotous little waves that leaped up from each crack in the mass, like little serpent’s tongues, fas- cinated her with a strange fear. She leaned far away from Antoine, and giving a low cry, fell from his exhausted arms into the seething mass in front of them. With terror he tugged at her dress, vainly endeavoring to keep her from 78 illllllllllllllllllllUllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 19 2 1 - STUDENT - 1921 IllllllllllllllllllllUlllilllllllllllllUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllU getting under the ice. The darkness was intense He felt the limp little body come up, knew she had slid onto the ice. Then his mind filled with strange fancies. Voices called him, hands stretched out, yearningly and beseechingly to him. He seemd to drift. On and on. Would he never stop? A bright light shot into his eyes, then the darkness settled down, piercing even to Antoine’s heart. It was a beautiful day in the middle of March. Two people, a small frail little girl, and a wasted Indian chief, gazed understanding ’ across the room to each other. “Tell the story again,” the child begged. “Heap big ice jam. All river,” he indicated with a w’ide sw T eep of his hand. “Papoose cross with Antoine. Antoine old Indian. Baby fall.” Then his slight frame would swell with importance as he exclaimed, “Big brave see ’um. Cross ice heap fast. Baby safe. Antoine safe. White God look down close.” And here the narrator closed his eyes in deep meditation, w’hile a small brown hand slipped into his, and two heads bent low. Elvaretta Neste ll.

H. H. S. I kept wondering how many changes I would find. Of course, I knew there had been several changes in the faculty for various reasons. As my feet touched the old familiar steps I felt a sense of unfamiliaritv creep over me. I opened the door and odors utterly unknown to my high school memories met my nostrils. They seemed to come from the basement and I entered and looked about me. A cafeteria had been established and the girls of the cooking classes were preparing lunches for the students who did nob go home for lunch. I exclaimed at the sight and was quickly requested to come to the “gymn.” This was almost too much for even my almost unlimited imagination and I followed Mr. Hunger- ford across the room almost in a daze, to an elevator which whisked us up to a fourth floor which had been added to the building. Air. Hungerford proudlv showed me the lockers and floor with race track and all that a modern high school “gymn’ needs. Both boys and girls appreciated this part of school life. New subjects had been added to the curriculum and an addition now extended across River Street. The banks of Black River formed an athletic field with tennis courts and other provisions for further athletic activities. Of course, I was greatly interested in these improvements but I did want to know what had become of the library in all these changes. As we came down to the first floor I asked Mr. Hungerford where the library was located, think- ing it must be in the new section. He led me across the hall to the old familiar corner. There were the same books, tables and chairs, while students perched on the radiator and waste paper baskets trying to study. “Is that poor old gray haired woman Miss Magahy?” “Oh, no, that is her successor. She has become gray very rapidly since coming to us.” “And where is Miss M.?” “Oh, she left us some time ago and is now in the insane asylum trying to find chairs and material for students in her cell which she imagines is the old P. H. H. S. library. And I sighed and wondered that her successor was not also with her. Ann O. Nymous. IN APPRECIATION OF OUR LIBRARIAN Our hearts are heavy at leaving P. H. H. S.

The desk for my books, the window beside it And e’en the sweet sessions that came after school; The eighth-hour sessions, the desperate sessions. The freezing up sessions that came after school. II The freezing up session I hail as a nuisance When often at dusk I arrived home from school ; I found it the source of an exquisite displeasure The strongest and keenest that parents can yield. How slowly I told them with tongue that was lagging, The only legitimate cause I could find; Then soon, with the joy of forgetfulness flowing And grinning with mirth it sunk from my mind.

I had been down there visiting my aunt for the week-end and we had been having a pretty lively time. I went to bed Sunday night, or rather Monday morning at half past one, intending to get up real early and take the first car for Port Huron. At a quarter to seven I was up. Oh ! what a rush, the ear left at eighteen minutes after seven and I had only half an hour to get all ready. I rushed madly around getting dressed and to make matters worse, I could not find my shoes. I was certain I had taken them off in my room, but, after I had had everyone in the house looking for them I finally found them under a chair in the living room where I had slipped them off. My aunt then said breakfast was ready. I said I did not want any because I did not have time to bother about eating. But, she said if I would not eat she wouldn’t let me go, so I decided to eat. 1 knew I had to catch that ear because I had to leave on the half past twelve l rain for Toronto and the wildest thoughts rusiied through my mind of all the things that would happen if I missed that ear. M v cousin had the ear out and I climbed in and we started for the waiting room. 1 really never went so fast in all my life. We passed everything till we got further up town and then what a time! When we got to the waiting room the car was just about two blocks ahead ot us so we started chasing the ear. It would stop every once in a while but just as we would get close enough to get on it would start again. By this time I was nearly crazy and when from a side street came a large powerful truck I didn’t know what my name was. My cousin didn’t see it until too late and into it we crashed. After that I didn t know anything, I just seemed to be sinking — sinking — ! Horrors! I awoke with a start. Oh! what a terrible dream. I jumped out of bed and looked at my watch and it was just a quarter to six, so I was all right. After that experience I decided never to drink so much coffee before going to bed. Margaret I.

Officers were quickly elected and prac- ticing was soon well underway which made it possible for an early appearance before the students at the second of the School Sings conducted by Miss Eraser. Of course, numerous applications for membership in the club were made after that first appearance. At Christmas time volunteers from both the Girls’ and Boys’ Clubs re- sponded to Miss Fraser’s call for carollers who sang Christmas Eve in the vicinity of the High School. February — two numbers were rendered before the Thursday Morning Music Club at the Holden Cafe. The membership of the Glee Club at that time was fifteen. In accordance with the untiring efforts of Miss Fraser the Girls and Boys’ Glee Clubs combined have been hard at work in preparation for a Chorus Cycle entitled “Old Plantation Days,” which was given Tuesday evening, April 19th, at the Junior High. Noon Sings on Fridays feature in the prepara- tion for the Song Cycle. The orchestration will be furnished by our school orchestra under the direction of Henry I). Schubert.

THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB On October 4, the girls who are interested in the musical activities of the High School held their annual election and again started the already thriving club. The following officers were elected: President, Lillian Fox; Secretary and Treasurer, Martha Hayman; Pianist, Esther Pace.

They have appeared publicly several times. This year a double trio was formed which also has done good work. The Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs combine once a week for chorus singing. This chorus formed a band of Christmas carolers which sang in its allotted district, also in a part of the business district of the city. The chorus has been working this semester on a Choral Cycle, “Old Plan- tation Days,” which was presented in the Junior High Auditorium on April 12. In this concert, each Glee Club also had its individual part. The soloists from the Girls’ Glee Club were: Soprano, Martha Hayman, Rose Sperry, Frances Smith; Alto, Carmelia Graziadei, Pauline Gibson. DEBATING CLUB The Port Huron High School Debating Club was organized November 8th under the direction of Mr. Hungerford. Membership was open to all students, howeve r, the Junior and Senior Classes were represented the best. At the first meeting officers were elected: Jeanne Ryan, president; Eleanor Meisel, secre- tary-treasurer. Teams were chosen, the affirmiative team was composed of Eleanor Meisel, Chester Benedict, and Edward Stevens. The negative team Elizabeth Thomas, George Durand, and Jack Taylor. The debaters were handicapped on account of starting so late, but on the whole had a fairly suc- cessful year winning three debates out of six. Great credit is due to Mr. Hungerford and Miss Mayne for their untiring effort in drilling the teams. The question for debate was: Resolved, That the adjustment of disputes between employer and em- ployees should be made a part of the administration of justice. The affirmative team upheld the affirmative side of the question. Their first debate was with Almont, December 3rd. They defeated the visiting team by a score of 2 to 1. The second debate was on December 19th, with Marine City. The Marine City team showed great ability in delivery but our team succeeded in obtaining two votes to Marine City’s one. The last debate of the affirmative team was held February 18th, with Hamtramack who defeated our team, having two votes and Port Huron 1. The negative debated on the negative side of the question. On January 21, the negative team, chaperoned by Miss Northrup, went to Pontiac for their first debate. The decision rendered by the judges was 2 to 1 in favor of Pontiac. The second of the league debates by the negative was at Dryden, Michigan, on February 4. The team was chaperoned by Miss McCollum. The decision was 2-1 in favor of Dryden. The judges were two lawyers from Oxford and Superintendent of Schools Cody of Flint. Port Huron received Mr. Cody’s vote. The negative team was challenged by Monroe for a debate on March — . The team was chaperoned by Miss McCollum. Their delivery and concise original rebuttal were much superior to those of their opponents and won for them a decision of 3-0 in their favor. 89 STUD E N T 19 2 1 uiu.

S. have at last obtained their voice in school activities. In October there was a general meeting of girls to organize a League. Phyllis Turnbull was elected President, Emily Stewart, Vice-President, Esther Pace, Secretary, and Eliza Cowan, Treasurer; for Publicity Agent, Josephine Beckton was elected. Three departments were organized, the first of which is called Personal Efficiency. This department strives to promote better morals, better health, and better athletics among the girls of P. H. H. S. When Miss Scupholm was chosen as our advisor we obtained one of the most diligent workers that there is on the Faculty. She has worked untiringly and unceasingly to make this department the best that there is. One of the first things that were done was to divide the girls into two groups — the gymnasium and the basket ball classes. In our gymnasium work there were about sixty-five girls enrolled and in two classes weekly. Through the courtesy of Mr. Davis and Mr. Snyder we had the use of the Y. M. C. A. and worked up two fine “gvmn” classes. Through the generosity of Miss Miller the first girls’ basket ball team of P. H. H. S. was trained. After a few weeks of practice we played the Junior High team and won from them by a score of 11-9. Owing to the shortened season because of the late organization the schedule was brief. Another department, The Entertainment, was also formed. For many years the boys in any school organization have had the leading role before the public eye. This year the girls of P. H. H. S. decided to organize and show the public just what they could do. Their first undertaking after the organization was completed was a banquet in honor of the football team. A carnival was held April 8-9 in the Junior High School. May 6 the girls gave an informal tea for their mothers. Last but not least is the Social Service Group. These girls adopted a poor 90 lllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH 19 2 1 S T U I) ENT - 1921 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiuiiiiiiininu family for whom they are sewing and supplying food occasionally. They have staged the Red Cross and Chinese Relief drives with great success. For general advisor for the League, Miss Chapin was unanimously chosen. The girls showed excellent wisdom in this selection. Miss Bywater has worked unceasingly as advisor of the Social Service girls. Miss Hayward will ever he remembered by the League. She was leader of the Carnival and is advisor of the Entertainment girls. R. V. L., F. S., E. M. C.— ' 21. Did any of the fellows ever see A.

The stars were shining in on one of the Nites so that a regular comet of an idea came forth. The result was the formation of the Bachelors Club alias “the Nites of the Square Table.’ The Charter ran as follows: “Whereas, Our hearts being weakened by the palpitations caused by cer- tain specimens of dates and flirtations, and Whereas , Dates can be purchased at $0.25 per box instead of one dollar a piece and — upwards, and — upwards, and Whereas, The ‘Kata Bita Pies and the Old Maids’ Society have been formed, therefore let it be Resolved , That we, the said Nites, join our resources to form the above named society. The password is to be: — Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore!” The yell is to be : Rub-adub-dub Rub-adub-dub We’re the boys of the Bachelors’ Club, We don’t yell!? We don’t cheer!? We don’t go with the women, dear! The first meeting is to be March 18, 1921, then on that magic day and hour we are to be freed of our chains of bondage.

In athletics, the proper way to go about it is to have an association. Hence, the Athletic Association reared its head in the protecting shelter of Port Huron High School. A “Get-together” was called one day in Room J and a constitution adopted that would keep the officers out of mischief and provide a working basis for the association. Now to steer a ship like the Athletic Association, one must have good “understandings” and long arms so, of course, there was no one but George Durand to be elected president. However, a good skipper depends on a good engineer for his right-hand man and Edwin Hoffman was handed the job of business manager. If “Eddie” runs his own business later in life with as clear insight, far-sightedness, and unbiased judgment as he has run the Athletic Association’s business, all we can predict is “success” written dear and large. For deck hands, and the usual crew for such a large vessel, other able-bodied and able-minded people were chosen. Mac. Waterworth assisted Edwin Hoff- man as assistant business manager. The vice-president was Esther Pace with Frances Smith as secretary to keep “tab” on the minutes and seconds. The “money-man” was “Dynamite” Hugh Ross who used this tremendous force not to blast vaults open but to bring home victory on the basket ball courts. The classes were represented by Frances Holland, Senior; Katherine Philbrick. Junior; Jean Laird, Sophomore; Stewart Moore, Freshman. The faculty ad- visors were Miss Miller and Mr. Hungerford. The coaches (no not stage- coaches) were Mr. Francis X? Lake and Mr. “Tubby” M. Myers. The Association wishes to take this time to tender their heartiest thanks to Mr. Glenn Davis for his splendid assistance that he rendered during the year. The year was a great success, having had good financial support all during the entire season. 93 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimriiimuuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 19 2 1 S T U I) E X T - 1 !) 2 1 niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHuniiiitiiiiiuHiiuniiiiiim DRAMATIC CLUB I hough this wide-awake organization only came into existence this year and is yet very new, it is growing and accomplishing many things so that before long it will probably be one of the best known in our school. It was started by some peppy Juniors and Seniors. “Ye coming dramatists” of our High School, with the aid of Miss Northrup and Miss Mayne. The purpose of the club is to create an interest in dramatists and to produce plays. Meetings are held every other Thursday evening at which small programs and plays are given. The club is most fortunate in having for its director, Miss Mayne, who is very interested in the promotion of dramatics, and has willingly given much of her time in training the members and in making the club a success. The club is now working on a play, “Her Husband’s Wife,” to be pre- sented later, which will probably end its activities for this term.

H. after school and circulating through the school. The “other- wise” strains were soon captured, however, and the orchestra made their first appearance before a mass meeting. The Glee Clubs generously furnished money to buy new music and so the orchestra was placed on a firm basis. They played at a mass meeting of the Parent-Teachers’ Associations in J unior High and later at a combined concert of the Glee Clubs and Orchestra. The officers of the club were: President, Marguerite Crawford; Secretary and Treasurer, Fred Wargowsky; Librarian, Geo. Mclnnis. 95 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIW 1-9 2 1 - S T U I) E N T 19 2 1 lllllllllllllinilllllMllllll!lltllllllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItllllllllllllllMHIIIIIIUIIIIMtlllHI!lllllll FRESH M EX-SEN IOR PARTY The coming-out party of the Freshmen was given bv the Seniors on October 29, 1920, in the Junior High. The little “Freshies” congregated in the auditorium about three-thirty, where they were met by the Seniors, who barely recognized them as the Freshmen with whom they were conversing just a few days ago, as they were all “dolled up.” Then the Seniors and their guests lined up in the hall and marched down one flight of stairs, around the balcony, look- ing down on the gymnasium which was artistically decorated with corn stalks and pumpkins. Upon reaching the first floor, two double lines were formed in the gymn down which were rolled and passed large yellow pumpkins. There was much rivalry between the promising youngsters to see who should succeed in returning the pumpkins intact to the head of the line. While half of the worthy freshmen with their venerable escorts displayed their muscles in this manner, the other half appeased their appetites in the serving room with cider and fried-cakes. After all had eaten, dancing was enjoyed until five-thirty, when the merry crowd repaired to the auditorium where they were heartily amused with a comedy entitled “Spring Time.” Shortly after six the guests tired after their debut into the society of Port Huron High School were allowed to go home to recuperate. Society Editor, R. M. S. FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual school banquet, honoring the faithful members of our football team was held at the Junior High School, 1920. This affair proved to be one of the most enjoyable of its kind ever held. About one hundred and sixty people including the faculty, students and others enjoyed the banquet, served by the Girls’ League, and the evening’s entertainment. 96 ■ l||||!!l!llllllllllll|||l!llillllllllll!l!lllllllll!lllllllllllll!lllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 19 2 1 s T U I) E N T - 1 !) 2 1 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUllllllllllliniUllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllH George Durand was toastmaster of the evening and in response to his call, a number of short speeches were made by Dr. Crissman, Dr. F.

After nineteen of the boys on the team were presented with “letters” by Coach Meyers, dancing was enjoyed until eleven o’clock. The music for the evening was furnished by the Marysville orchestra. SENIOR PLAY The Seniors put forth their dramatic efforts in a play given during com- mencement week as has been the custom. The play was of a type never before tackled by any Senior Class in Fort Huron High School. It was the most popular, perhaps, of Shakespeare’s comedies, “As You Like It.” The plav was directed by Miss Mavne and ably supported by the fol- lowing cast: Rosalind .

The gymnasium of the Junior High School was decorated in the colors of both classes in many new and clever ways. Each basketball ring had a long fringe of colored paper hanging from it with a light on the inside. The stand- ards for the high-jump apparatus was ingeniously built into floor lamps. The programs, blue with J.-S. hand painted in gold on them, were the work of Paul St. Dennis who deserves much credit for the success of the party. An enlarged program was circulated around so that all who attended the party might place their autographs in it. The music was furnished by NicoPs orchestra which was prettily situated in the center of the floor surrounded by floor lamps. After each dance a crowd was sure to congregate around the punch bowl in one corner of the room. The chaperons of the evening were the class advisors, Misses Scupholm, Woodward, Northrup and Bv waters. It was certainly an enjoyable and successful party in the opinion of all. Society Editor.

All these did not stay out, however, and in a few weeks the bunch had dwindled down to about 25. At the first football meeting an election was held for captain, and Bob Carson, the captain-elect, had decided not to return to school. Dixon, a back-field man of several years experience, was elected. After about two weeks work on the field the home team went up against Croswell and beat them badly. The game was not exciting because of the heat and the very evident superiority of the Red and White eleven. It was a good chance for “Tubby” to see what the different fellows could do and subs were used freely. The next week the team went to Memphis, which team they beat almost as badly as they had Croswell the preceding Saturday. Another week of prac- tice followed and then the team went to Richmond. They returned victorious by the score of 14-7, but the coach was not at all satisfied with their work. There were only a few days before the next game but these were used to such advantage that Bay City Western was decisively defeated that Saturday. The 105 lllllltllltlllllllilllHIIIillllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! 19 2 1 - S T U I) E T 19 2 1 llllllllllllllllllllllll|llllllllllli:|lllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIII!llllllllllllllll!llllllllll!lllll!llll home team showed the best work they had exhibited so far that season. Long runs were frequent, Philp and Ross several times gaining stretches of 30 to So yards. By this time “Tubby” and the assistant coaches had developed a fast though rather light, team. When Detroit Eastern’s heavy team came here for tiie fifth game of the season, the Red and White eleven were pushed all over the field and the Detroit bunch went home victorious by a score too large to mention. The Detroit aggregation was very heavy, had a wonderful interfer- ence, and at that time it was conceded had a good chance for the State Cham- pionship. Notwithstanding the great advantage of weight of the other team, the locals made a rather poor showing anyway, seeming to lack confidence. The game was rather rough, several members of the team suffering injuries. After this game the team was entirely remodeled to meet the Saginaw Eastern eleven the coming Saturday. Saginaw Eastern had a heavy team and came here with the record of having beaten Detroit Northwestern, one of the best teams in the state. The Saginaw bunch received the kick and quickly took the ball down the field. At the twenty-yard line the ball went over on downs and Port Huron showed what she could do on the offense. On the first play 106 19 2 1 - STUDENT - 1921 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllM Mugavero made 35 yards on an off tackle play. The ball see-sawed back and forth until Eastern finally scored. The first half ended with the score 7-0. The second half was not so close. Saginaw had scored twice when Port Huron got the ball in midfield and executed a series of well-directed passes that brought the ball to Eastern’s five-yard line. With four downs left to put it over it looked as though we might score but the other team stiffened and held. They got the ball on downs and in the last few minutes of play they pushed the Red and White eleven off the field while they scored again. With two defeats behind them, the team somewhat disheartened, went to Arthur Hill, Saginaw. The game was just like the preceding two. Facing a heavy team on their own field — a team which had beaten Lansing (who later took the State Championship) the Port Huron fought to little advantage. Arthur Hill’s offense was all to be desired and their heavy back-field men ran over, under and around us for seven touchdowns. Their defense was not so good, however, for our back-field men frequently broke through their line for six or eight yard gains. On Armistice Day w r e played the Alumni and incurred our fourth consecu- tive defeat. The team did not wake up until the Alumni had scored tw ice and then it was too late, though we did secure one touchdown. Saturday, before an ever-increasing crowd, the team forced U. of I). High and beat them 7-6. Though by the score the victory seems to be a matter of luck, yet such w’as not the case. The home team clearly outclassed the Detroiters, gaining about twice as much ground. The other team was never dangerous except at the time their right end made their touchdown by inter- cepting a running pass. The next week they played Ypsilanti there, in one of the closest games of the year. We were beaten, but only after putting up such a game that even supporters of the “Ypsi” team were forced to admit the victory to be a matter of luck. It w r as a fast, hard game all the wav through and several times the Port Huron eleven nearly scored. On Thanksgiving Day we faced Royal Oak in the last game of the season. Once more we were defeated. Philp was out the first part of the game with a bad knee and the team seemed unable to find itself until he w ' as put back in the last quarter. During the last few ' minutes of play, the Red and White eleven played a wonderful game of football, scoring once and being well started on a second touchdown when the w histle blew. Though the season w r as not a complete success yet the team deserves con- siderable credit for w hat it did do. The crowds at the games w r ere fairly large but they seemed to think there was a law r against yelling when the team was getting beaten. On account of the lightness of the team, injuries were fairly frequent. With twelve letter men back next year the prospects of a successful season are good. At the close of the season, the Girls League honored the football fellows in a banquet which was greatly appreciated by them. 107 19 2 1 - S T U I) E N T - 19 2 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIillllllllllllllllllllllllllllilillU Sept. 25 Oct. 2 9 16 “ 23 “ 30 Nov. 6 13 “ 20 “ 25 Port Huron THE SCORES .. 51 Croswell .. 46 Memphis .. 14 Richmond . . 35 Bay City Western .. 0 Detroit Eastern .. .. 0 Saginaw Eastern . . 0 Saginaw A.

It was without a doubt the banner season for the game since its invention by Dr. James A. Naismith, dating back thirty summers and winters ago. Port Huron played its part in the epoch-making season of the sport. The game enjoyed the greatest popularity it has ever had in this city and attained a higher level on the athletic calendar here. There were more participants in the game than ever before, while the spectators circles were increased by large numbers. Of course, our team, sailing under the Red and White colors of P. H. H. S., drew the greater interest and popularity, and held the center of the spotlight, locally. And it was a successful season that the team experienced. Playing 16 games, the stiff est schedule that a Port Huron High quintet has ever tackled, the team won 9 and lost 7. Another game was forfeited. Taking all into consideration, inc luding the fact that the team was lined-up with some of the foremost High School fives in the state, the quintet’s record is one that might well be viewed with pride and its members and mentors, Messrs. Lake and Davis, merit high praises. In its 16 games the team scored a grand total of 318 points as against a jsum of 277 registered by its opponents. Holth acquired high individual honors, garnering 45 field goals and I fouls for a total of 94 points. Frink was second high with 79 points while Captain Philp ran third with a total of 70 markers. Marine City High was the Red and White’s first opponent of the season played on the local court. December 17th. The down-river boys made a good start and almost succeeded in playing our team to a standstill in the opening chapter with the half ending 10 to 8, Port Huron’s favor. H owever, in the second half our team displayed its mastery and romped away with the victory at a score of 24 to 11. We faced the Alumni next and with “Fin” Holth and Fred Moore manning the bring line for the old “grads,” our team encountered no little amount of difficulty in maintaining its clean slate. The Alumni led most of the way, while late in the closing period of the game the score became deadlocked at 29 — all. A foul by Frink and a fielder by Holth gave us the game at a score of 32 to 29. Our third straight win was registered over Memphis High by an 18 to 15 tally. The fray was close and hard fought throughout, and the teams went into the final round of play with the count tied at 14 — all. We scored two baskets while the visitors registered but one point on a foul in the stanza, taking the victory. Later in the season our team in a game with the same Memphis five would undoubtedly have won more decisively. Sarnia High was “fish” for our team. The Red and White’s five-man defense completely bewildered the bovs from the land of the Maple Leaf and 109 Illlllllllllllil 1921 S T U D E N T - 1921 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiii they were only able to register 9 points while our quintet came through with 24, which was the final score of the game. Our game with the tossers of Bad Axe High School was a battle from the first whistle. Spectacular baskets by Fremont, the visitors’ stellar forward, put the visiting team in the lead several times, and the winner was always in doubt. The score at the end of the first period stood 5 to 2 in favor of Bad Axe, while Port Huron led at the half 8 to 7 and at the end of the third quarter 13 to 10. With less than a minute remaining to play and the score even at 14 — all, Moore caged a basket for the Red and White and we won, 16 to 14. Hughie Ross played for the first time of the season in this game. We trounced Mt. Clemens High by a score of 30 to 14. Our team led from whistle to whistle and outplayed its opponents at every turn. Wayne Frink tossed six goals from field in this game. After winning six consecutive games, our team lost its first game of the season which was played with the University of Detroit High on the latter’s floor. Although Red and lute teams and their coaches have always acquitted themselves as game losers and have always refrained from alibi making, in defeat, they felt justified in raising an objection in this case. Holth was expelled from the game in the second quarter which necessitated a complete shift in our team’s lineup which worked as a handicap together with the unfair- 110 19 2 1 S T U I) E N T 19 2 1 IllllllllllllllilllllUIIIIIIIllllUllllllllllllllllll ness in the officiating. Our opponents got the verdict by a score of 21 to 19 in the closing minute of play. Our team came back strong against Highland Park, winning 20 to 11 on the latter’s court. Had the Red and White displayed truer accuracy in basket shooting we would have won by a larger margin as can be shown by the fact that our team had approximately 80 shots at the net while our opponents were in a position to take but 50 flings at the suspended cage. Mt. Clemens took revenge for their earlier defeat at the hands of our team when we met the “Bath City” High in a return game on their court. Our rivals nosed under the final whistle the winner at a score of 14 to 12 after a hard-fought battle. A field goal tossed from the center of the court with five seconds to play turned the victory for Mt. Clemens. Two special cars carried over a hundred loyal followers of the Red and White to and from the scene of the fray. Coach Lake, dissatisfied with conditions beyond control, took our team off the floor in its second meeting with Marine City High, at that place, thereby forfeiting the game to our opponents. The largest crowd of the season saw the Red and White go down to defeat before the tossers of Flint High, at a score of 21 to 17, on the local court, which was the first defeat on the home court in three years. It was a game that will live long in the memory of fans fortunate enough to be in attendance. Our team fought with all the determination that knows no defeat but was forced into submission in the end. At the end of the first half the score stood 10 to 9 in Flint’s favor, while our team succeeded in tieing the tally at 17-all in the last three minutes of play. Ferguson, brilliant forward of the visitors, netted his team their winning points on two fielders. Bay City Western downed our quintet, 34 to 21, in a game played at Bay City, which had all the earmarks of a football struggle. Our players w’ere considerably outweighed and accordingly were under a disadvantage in t he argument with the official permitting rough tactics. Stewart was ejected from the game on personal fouls. A canvas covered floor added greatly to the difficulties. In another highly exciting and thrilling game the Red and White emerged the winner over Saginaw Arthur Hill, on the same court, to the tune of 19 to 17. We held a 6-point margin at the close of the first half, the score standing 1 1 to 5 and maintained the lead to the end. The visitors staged a rally in the closing minutes of the contest which however fell short by one basket of tieing the score. Detroit Northwestern defeated us before another howling crowd of fans. The “big town” boys led by a score of 13 to 1 1 at the half, while our team came strong in the third quarter and at the end was out in front with the tally 19 to 17. While we were able to register but one point in the final chapter, North- western grabbed off an additional 8 points and won, 25 to 20. There was something radically wrong in the workings of our team against Detroit Eastern on the local court, in which game the latter team won by a 11 19 2 1 - STUDENT - 1921 IWfltliUl illllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllltllllllllllllllllllllllflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIttIH score of 11 to 5. The visitors led all the wav while the Red and White appeared off color in all departments of play and did not once round into form. With all due respect to the merits and efforts of our esteemed pedagogues we must say that as basketball players they are better tutors and their place is in the class room as was pleasantly demonstrated once again by our Red and White team. The annual fracus this year resulted in their defeat at the hands of the students bv a 26 to 9 tally. Still we hope and pray that our faculty continues to abide by the Golden Rule and steps out next year to try again, but we would request that they “lay off” candy and such stuffs for a week, at least, prior to the game so that they might reach a partial degree of conditioning and be able to provide our Red and White gladiators with some little competition. Our team suffered defeat in the first rounds of games in the tournament at Ypsilanti, at the hands of Adrian High at a score of 26 to 14. Without questioning the class of the Adrian team, it is a matter of fact that the Red and White did not perform to its highest standard and had it done so there might have been a different story to tell. This was the last game for Captain Pliilp, Holth, Frink and Stuart on a Red and White basketball team of our school, all four of the players being lost next season, through graduation. All of the four are worthy of genuine praise for the part they have played in our school’s athletic activities, and their absence from our quintet next season will be the source of no little regret.

Track was his subject, using everyone in general for his exam- ples of what they “hadn ' t ought to be.” He managed to get quite a majority of the boys interested so that after school you might have seen them actively at work in Pine Grove Park, and in quite a number of back yards the turf seemed dug up not as for a garden but where some young hopeful was trying to break a world’s record in running and jumping. The schedule was not yet complete at time of writing but here is a brief outline: Cross country run, May 14, at St. Clair; meet with Memphis, Rich- mond and possibly Sarnia, here on May 19. There is a possibility of a meet with Croswell. there, the latter part of May; entry in State Inter scholastic at Lansing, June 4; official M. I. A. A. meet and also a county meet at Tashmoo Park, June 10. There is promising material in the runs, weight, and jumps but it must be developed. On May 4, a meet was held at the Driving Park with Croswell. Croswell was reputed to have a strong team and every one was surprised when Port Huron took home the bacon with a score of points 65 to 39. Fifty yards, time 5 4 5 minutes — 1, Philp, (P.

TEACHER, MAY I SPEAK? When little Johnny raises his hand and shouts, “Oh, teacher, may I speak?” he usually says a “mouthful.” And time and time again when teacher asks the class a question she gets an answer that smacks of real humor. Adults as well as youngsters laugh to their hearts’ content when “Topics of the Day” films show scholars’ sayings on the screen. So the following have been assem- bled to give readers a jolly “recess”: Teacher — “Johnny, your mouth is open.” “Yes, teacher, I know it. I opened it.” — Cornell JVidow. Teacher — “You’ve been a naughty boy. You must stay after school.” “All right, Miss Jones, if you aren’t afraid of the scandal I’m not!” — Jack Canuck. Teacher — “Who can tell me what ‘unaware’ means?” Little Mary — “ ‘Unaware is what you put on first and take off last.” — Cleveland News. Teacher — “Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?” Bright Pupil — “At the bottom, mum.” — Cincinnati Enquirer. Teacher — “I)o you know the population of New York?” “Not all of them, ma’am, we’ve only lived here two years.” — The American Boy. Teacher — “Swarms of flies descended upon the Egyptians, but tiiere were no Hies on the children of Israel.” Smart Boy — “There ain’t now, either.” — Cleveland News. Teacher — “Give me a sentence from a dead language.” Pupil — “What are you going to have?” — Boston Traveler. Teacher — “Tony, form a sentence using ‘disarrange.’ ” Tony — “When my father goes to light the stove, he says, ‘Dama dissa range !” — Washington Times. Teacher — “Johnny, can you tell me what they raise in Mexico?” Johnny — “I know what you want me to say, ma’am, but maw told me not to talk rough.” — American Legion Weekly. BRIGHT SAYINGS IN ENGLISH CLASS Bryant was committed to the bar. Bryant crossed the bar. He took his fanny (fiancee) with him. Example of melodious diction in “Westminster Abbey” — “The bell rang from but tery to buttery.” Francis Appel in Announcement — “The Dramatic Club will put on ‘The Fifth Amendment.’ ” (Francis must study the Constitution.) Rosabel Lee in meeting of girls in Room M — “Change Mildred Palmer from a cake into a pie.” Frances Holland in History VIII — “In the New England town meeting they elected selectmen and — and — and men to look after the hogs ! !” 121 19 2 1 - S T U D E N T - 19 2 1 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM QUITE TRUE “Hi, gimme a handful of waste !” I howled (I was under the auto to grease it) But Jim had an armful of waist in the car, And wasn’t disposed to release it. Why is Ruth Schuck interested in South Park? Why are Ruth Schuck and Franc es Holland always found in Mrs. Blake’s room before school? Clesson Hawley in Geometry II — “That there is right, bv this here.” Miss W T oodward — “If you were on an island by yourself and could have only one book, what book would you take?” Isabella Cowan — “A cook book.” OH! “Does your fountain pen leak all the time?” “No, only when I have ink in it.” Friends, Irishman and countryman. Lend me your ears. I’ve come to give a toast and not a sermon, The laughter that you give is Holy To the countrymen of Ireland. Scin Finn doth say that we are foolish. But just the same we eat the gulosh, That brings out our laughing smiles. We have walked a many a mile To jolly on St. Patrick’s day. And by the time it has come May We shall welcome signs of hay, The golden hays that is by the fire Hangs from a rafter on a silver wire. Dorothy Martin — ' 23. ‘DANCING Hecker says, “Dancing is a form of epidemic disorder allied to hysteria and evidently the result of initiative emotions acting upon susceptible subjects under the influence of a craving for sympathy or notoriety.” Mr. Hecker evidently must have danced somewhat like the wild man of today, or may be that was when the inspiration for the “shimmie” started. Probably by flopping his ears and wiggling his left toe, he expressed his crav- ing for sympathy and notoriety ! Oh, girls ! to have lived in his time ! ! ! !

They passed a water hydrant and one fellow said to the other, “Say fellows, can you tell me whether this is a fire plug or a water plug, I ' ve been trying to find out and Til be darned if I can.” One of them promptly said, “Why a water-plug of course.” First fellow — “ ’Tisn’t either, it’s an iron plug.” Ed. Stephens in Public Speaking class to P. Gibson — “Byron Philps will be your husband in the fifth scene and he’s got to kiss you on the forehead.” Pauline Gibson — “Well, I shall have to call him down.” Edwin Hoffman stopped bv traffic officer on the charge of speeding 40 miles per hour — “Why officer, I haven’t been out an hour.” “Move on,” said the t. o., “that’s one on me.” Hugh Ward — “One of the minor plots in ‘Hamlet’ is that of Rosenthal and Winkleman!” (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). Wilola Ashley to Margaret Hand (who ushers at the Family Theater) — “Did that good-looking young fellow come in last night?” M. Hand — “Yes ! He sat on my side all through the show!” Harold Thornton was digging worms. H. Tims — “Hey! Are you going fishing?” H. Thornton — “No, just going down to give these worms a swimming lesson.” So beautiful you seem to me, I wish that we might wed ; Your neck, it’s just like ivory But alas ! so is vour head. Miss Rush, second hour History — “What river in India did Alexander sail up?” Maurice Roach — “Up the Pajahama!” Mrs. H. — “Mary, you come straight home from school tonight.” Mary — “How can I ?

Formulae: K + 1 +- S = Kiss. This is a very dangerous experiment and care should be taken in perform- ing it, as sometimes the reaction which may set in proves violent. It should never be tried when light is present and when few are present, usually two; it is best to wear ear muffs as the combustion which sometimes follows may prove fatal to the ears. Edited and Censored by, O. Whata Smell, M. S. C. FAREWELL LAMENT From the F reshies you’ll hear many a sigh. When as Sophomores we leave the Junior High, We’re not so green as we were last year. And no more do the Seniors we fear. We’ll miss the good times we’ve had in the Gym. And wisli all the while we were back again, We won’t have Misses Jarvis, Siebert, McKinney and Carlisle, But then we can see them all once in a while. We have mentioned all the Misses but one Mrs. we can claim, Her name is Mrs. Richard and to please her is our aim; But stay I haven’t half my story told Because we love Miss McNiehol and Miss Merrigold, These teachers have taught us to follow the right tracks. And in our heads we have many sound facts, But now we have to leave our futures for Old Father Time to solve, As the Freshman ranks will soon dissolve. Oh! How the F reshies all hate to say good-bye, When as Sophomores we leave for the Senior High.

D. Q. CIRCULO” That queer looking heading is the name of a very lively club organized by the Spanish III class last fall. Pronounced “en espanol,” the letters are much more dignified and take on a different aspect than they do when spoken in cold English. All one needs to do is say “Pay Day Coo Thir-coo-lo” and they know our name ! Every two weeks, on Friday, tiiis club meets, fifth hour. Programs are held at each meeting with every number given in Spanish. Every phase of Spanish life is studied. At Christmas time an interesting program was given. America — Silent Night — and the Spanish national hvmn were translated. Shortly after inauguration a program was given with characterizations of President Harding and Vice-President Coolidge. Roll call was responded to with a brief sketch of some Cabinet member. The following officers were elected : President .... Senorita Marguerita Boardman Vice-President ....... Secretary ...... Senorita Francina Fead Treasurer ..... Senorita Myrtle Harper Sergeant-at-Arms ..... Senor Edward Parsons F acuity Critic Senora Blake — “ Por tin a nina del circulo.” Port Huron High School, Port Huron, Mich. Miss Grace Northrup, Room M.

As ordered by the august body, THE SENIOR COUNCIL, to which all honor and subservience are due, I am requesting that you accept this letter to allow me again to enter the portals of the Senior Session Room. Your pardon would be graciously accepted. Yours truthfully, Donald Ross — 21. There was a young fellow named Dizzie, He drove papa’s new tin Lizzie, He was part-blind in his sight, The train hit him just right, And now I wonder wdiere is he ? The guys just know him as “Russ,” Over whom Eleanor raises some fuss. When she’s alone, she’s unhappy, Likewise him, he’s unhappy, When together, they disregard us. 125 | llllllllllllllllllliltlllllltllll!IIIIII||||||||||i Bo ) Scouts of America CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AMERICANIZATION CITIZENSHIP TRAINING O t U -1 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Fort Huron L ouncil building FRED G.

It is, of course, the product of Chalmers workmanship. Around it is built a car of enduring soundness. For a car with such a motor should be an exceptionally fine construc- tion. Everywhere you hear the Chalmers spoken of in terms of enthusiastic satis- faction. You hear of its wonderful per- formance. Likewise, of economy that is remarkable — especially with low-grade fuel. Chalmers engineers did produce a re- markable motor. But they did not stop there. They lavished the same scientific ingenuity on this car as a unit. Higher gasoline efficiency is assured by their invention of the hot-spot to pre- heat the mixture. So are economy and smoother running; greater power, faster pick-up, and so on. 5-Pass.
