Aurora A r Cla00 Of 1905 DEDICATION. With feelings of sincerest gratitude, we the Class of 1905, dedicate our Aurora to WELLINGTON R. BURT, through whose generosity the youth of Saginaw will be able in all future years to enjoy the benefits of wider-educational advantage. WELLINGTON R. BURT MEMBERS OF THE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE Whose untiring efforts have done so much to make the school a structure of which Saginaw will always be proud. THE EAST SIDE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. Before the class of 1905 had entered the High School as freshmen, the history of the East Side Manual Training School had begun. In the mind of Wellington R. Burt, a wise and gen- erous citizen of Saginaw-, the thought was born that there was an opportunity by which two things might be accomplished: First, the giving of such aid to the pupils of the Saginaw schools as would enable them to improve a natural aptitude or talent so that some useful occupation or practical trade might be learned, and knowledge so acquired put to the everyday uses of life, thus aiding the possessors to make themselves inde- pendent and helpful members of the community. And, sec- ondly, he must have desired to evidence an expression of good will to the community of which for so many years of his life he has been an honored member, and to put that expression in such form that it should be not only practical in its nature, but along new lines and lasting in its character. Thoughts such as these must have come from personal experience as well as observation of what had been done elsewhere and reflection upon the results to individuals of the acquirement of exact practical knowledge, and it must have been from thoughts such as these, and the determination to give them effect, that the East Side Manual Training School has become a reality. The first contract was let in 1902, and in the fall of that year the work of excavation was commenced. During the sum- mer months of the following year the foundations were being firmly laid, but it was not until the early part of November that the work was ready for the corner-stone. On Thursday, Novem- ber 12th, 1903, anticipating the more formal ceremony, a body of students headed by Jerome Weadock laid the real corner- stone (but where that is nobody knows). Mr. Weadock doubt- less delivered the most eloquent oration of the age, but unfor- tunately for the republic his words were drowned by the cheers of his enthusiastic companions. And since the proper authori- ties were not informed, the permanent and visible corner-stone 9 was laid the next day, and the work of our accomplished orator went for naught. The corner-stone itself is of white sand-stone with “A. D. 1903” in raised letters upon its surface. There is within it a copper box containing photographs of the school board and some historical items of that day and time. On November 13th the boys of the High School marched to the Masonic Temple, and there joining forces with the Masons marched back to the Training School. The corner-stone was then laid with Masonic rites by the Grand Lodge of the State of Michigan. Then the walls began to rise, and by August, 1904, the roof was in place and the inside work begun. The roof itself is flat and the walls rise about three feet above it, hiding it entirely from view. The building belongs to the Ionic order of architecture; the walls of the first story are of white sandstone, and of the second and third stories of a brownish red vitrified brick manu- factured in Saginaw. The front of the building is almost two hundred and twenty-five feet in length, but standing before it one has an idea of solidity and proportion. The stone of the first story supports the second story with its recessed courses of brick which, in turn, divided only by a narrow strip of stone, supports the third story with its plain surface laid with Flemish bond. The entrance consists of four white sandstone pillars supporting a gable of stone and brick, and this entrance is truly classic in its proportions, adding greatly to the exterior appear- ance of the building. The large halls in the main building wih give ample room for the classes in passing, and provide access to numerous large, well-lighted rooms. To the left, on enter- ing, Superintendent Warner will occupy a suite of rooms com- posed of a general office in front of his private one, and adjoin- his private office will be the library donated by Mr. Burt’s family. At the extreme left of the building are two large rooms which will be given over to mechanical and free-hand drawing. Joining the mechanical drawing room will be a smaller one with a window facing the west, which will be fitted up with a large printing frame for blue prints. In the same room will be a large tank for washing the same. At the extreme right of the building, on entering, will be two kitchens, one for the High School girls and one for those not so far advanced. In one of these will be an electric elevator for raising ice and supplies 10 from the ground to the level of the kitchen. Connecting with the High School kitchen will be a suite of rooms composed of a butler’s pantry, a dining, reception and a bed room, in the order named. Then on the same floor, but in the back part of the building, is the gymnasium and the running track, twenty-nine laps to the mile. The gymnasium itself will be fitted with all suitable appliances, and joined to it will be two locker and shower bath rooms, one above the other, the upper one being for the girls and the lower for the boys. At the north end of the top floor will be two session rooms, and the smaller rooms will be given over to commercial work, stenography, clay modeling and recitations. The two large rooms at the south end will be for sewing and domestic art. In the back part of the basement will be the foundry and forge shops for the boys, and also the engine and boiler rooms, while in the front part will be the shops for cabinet making, wood turning and pattern making, together with a machine shop for metal work. There will also be a complete laundry outfit for the use of the girls. The boil- ers will be of sufficient capacity to heat, not only the building in which they are located, but also the High School upon the opposite side of the street. They will also provide all power required, and will run the electrical generators which will light the two school buildings. Some idea of the size of the building may be had when it is stated that the total area of the three floors is almost sixty thousand square feet. This article would not be complete if some reference was not made to the proposed swimming pool already planned, and which, by reason of Mr. Burt’s recent offer, will be placed in the rear of the building. This will enable all of the children of the city to learn how to swim, and it will be a source of healthful pleasure and real benefit. It is to be regretted that this beautiful building has not greater space about it, but this does not detract from its value. It only means that for such a noble work a worthier frame should have been provided. And now we see that within the four years’ life of this class of ours in the High School, has come the thought and its execu- tion. In massive simplicity the East Side Manual Training School stands almost completed, and its doors will be open to receive the class which follows ours. We can liken ourselves to 11 Moses he looked over into the Promised Land, but history says it was not given him to go there; so we look over upon the new building, with all of its promised services and pleas- ures, and wish that we might have entered. But in regretting that we cannot do so, as scholars, and that the opportunity and enjoyment have not been ours, we are glad for the blessings that those who come after us will enjoy. For the thought, and for the execution of the thought, every one in the City of Saginaw owes to Wellington R. Burt � debt of gratitude, and it is a debt which many generations will feel, but it is also a debt which there will be joy in owing, and which, contrary to the usual form, will make the debtors richer. —James Webber Peter. Saginaw, Michigan, April 29th, 1905. % is INTRODUCTION. In accordance with the annual custom, we beg leave to present this Aurora of the class of 1905. We issue it as a souvenir of our High School days, to illustrate the spirit of the school as it manifests itself in bright visions of fame and success, in healthful competition—both literary and athletic— in the lights and shades of wit and humor, and in the formation of the bonds of friendship and good fellowship. These pages will be a reminder of our happy school days, and will renew memory’s pictures (in after years) when the colors have been dimmed by time. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. Before the valedictorian gives the farewell address to the class of 1905, the president would beg the privilege of express- ing its gratitude to the faculty, and its sorrow on leaving “Old East Side High.” For four years we have labored and studied; most of us have put forth our best efforts to make this, the fourth year, our graduating year. Now, as the time for parting draws near, we call to mind many incidents of the High School life for the past four years. We think of the punishments some received, and the dire threats to get even with the teachers; but now I am sure such punishment as we received is forgiven and we have a good word for everybody. Commencement is the greatest event in all our school lives, not excepting college. It is the final breaking up of the class that has held together for four of the best years in our lives. After graduation some of us will leave to pursue our studies in other cities, and some will remain to start on the stream of Life immediately. As the years roll by we will grow farther apart, and there never will be a time when we are together as we are today. The grand structure that stands across the way is a symbol of the advancement of learning in this century. In the classes to come most of the members will receive their learning from the Manual Training School. Every man, woman, boy and girl in Saginaw should give his heartfelt thanks to W. R. Burt for his invaluable gift. The class of 1905 has derived no benefits from the Manual Training School, but we feel grateful for the advantages that will come to the future classes. This is the beginning of our journey through life. Some will find the road smooth and easy, some hard and rough, beset with hardships and perils. Those who have to earn their living by the sweat of their own brow will be the gainers in the end, for experience is the greatest of all teachers. May one and all make this life a joy, for, at best, This life is a burden imposed by God. Take it up bravely, Bear it on joyfully, Lay it down triumphantly. —Wm. Chauncey Drake. 14 CLASS POEM. A tiny, scarcely noticed, spark Is kindled by the magic hand of Fate, Perchance to thrive in a sturdy flame, And sometime to be known as great. At times ’tis fostered by the gentle breeze Of Fortune, and again ’tis low, Almost blotted out beneath The waves which petty failures blow. Soon it grows to quite a flame, And gives much warmth withal. Must it flicker out at length, When the Fates its summons call? Alas! it burns into given space, And adds its glimmer bright To other fires, which burn, and use Its influence in their flight. Thus it is with High School classes, So through every year we strive; But may ours ne’er be forgotten: The glorious class of 1905. —Don C. Blackmar. ’05. % 15 CLASS HISTORY. With the same fears and tremblings as all other beginners start out, the class of 1905 entered upon its freshmen year in the Saginaw High School in September, 1901. Many were our trials at first, until our programmes were finally settled, with the kind assistance of the teachers, of whom we stood in great awe. It was nearly a month before some of us knew just what room or class to go to next, and it was during this time that one of our number caused great amusement by asking where his sitting room was. In the early fall we had our first class meeting and elected our officers. As we wished to be very careful whom we chose to guide us through our first year, we did not elect all of our officers at the first meeting, but after two or three meetings we chose the following: President....................John Symons, Jr. Vice-President............Julia T. Gallagher. Secretary................Elizabeth Van Brunt. Treasurer....................Arthur Wickes. Marshal................................Daniel Updegraff. Of these officials Miss Van Brunt is the only one who is still with us. We also chose this year the colors green and white. Why will Freshmen persist in having green in their class colors ? What a relief vacation was after this year, which, to most of us, had been a trying one. But the summer passed all too quickly, and before we realized it we were Sophomores, at least most of us, for some of our classmates had left school, and others—well, “nuf sed.” How much older and wiser we felt this year. By degrees we lost our fear, but not our respect for our teachers. 1« At our first class meeting, after many recountings of the ballots, the following officers were chosen: President.................J. Shirley Smart. Vice-President..............Eunice Hadley. Secretary.......................Prank Beale. Treasurer...................Persis Goeschel. Marshal.....................Minerva White. Our Sophomore year glided along smoothly, at least for those who were conscientious, and on the whole it was an uneventful year. Finally we were Juniors. We had reached the year which will be remembered, by most of us at least, as the happiest of all our four years. President Smart soon called a class meeting, and for the first time we succeeded in electing all of our officers at one meeting. The following were chosen: President................................Don Blackmar. Vice-President.........Elizabeth Van Brunt. Secretary...............................Ella Rhodes. Treasurer............................Shirley Smart. Marshal.............................Clarence Jacobs. By our constitution (?) each member of the class was to pay dues of ten cents a semester. But although we had the largest class that had ever sat in the Junior room, there was only five dollars in the treasury at the beginning of our Junior year. So at our second class meeting it was decided to give a Junior Musical. This very successful event took place in the early part of December, and besides being a most enjoyable concert, materially increased our bank account. After much discussion we changed our class colors to blue, gray and gold, and President Blackmar appointed a committee to make a class banner, which proved an ill-fated one. But, as Kipling says, “That’s quite another story.” The time was near at hand when preceding Junior classes had been accustomed to give a Junior Hop. So on October 5 President Blackmar called a class meeting to decide whether we should give one. Will that class meeting ever be forgotten? The majority of the class were against a hop. But there were 17 ten who remained fixed in the idea of having one, and many were the heated discussions that arose in consequence. One of the faithful ten arose bravely and told how we would be laughed at if we did not give one. Then one from the other side arose, in all her height and glory, and said: “If our class has not character enough to withstand ridicule, when it thinks it is doing right, then it certainly would not be able to give a successful hop.” The spokesman of the faithful ten remained silent, and the result was that the class of 1905 did not give a hop. A small dancing party, however, was given in Dunk Hall and proved most enjoyable. For a week before November 18th great preparations were made, for on that day the corner-stone of our beautiful Manual Training School was to be laid. Feeling sure that the ceremony would be incomplete without the 1905 standard, the committee was urged to finish our new banner so that it might be carried in the parade. By being excused from school the day before the girls were able to finish it, and a special guard was appointed to watch with care that precious banner. The long- looked for day arrived, and during the ceremonies which took place in the afternoon many were the proud glances that were cast at our banner, waving in the breeze. It was the very height of artistic achievement. Human hands could do no more. We, to whom it belonged, could not but pity other mortals who could but gaze with envy on the proud banner of a proud class. But alas! Pride goeth before a fall, and we who had been so happy were all too soon to know the feelings of deepest wrath and gloom. But to revert to our story, having heard some rumors of evil intent, the standard-bearer carried the banner over to the High School and hid it. But in spite of his precautions the Seniors soon raised the cry of, “Where’s the Junior banner?” and the Juniors awoke to the sad fact that their proudest pos- session was in the hands of the enemy. It was not many min- utes before the Senior and Junior boys had met, and before long many a Senior’s coat was covered with the sod of the Saginaw High School yard. But in spite of many blows they would not reveal where the banner was. Suspicion immediately fell on Corrigan’s house, and until the “we sma’ hours” did 18 our boys guard every door and window. The following day the boys renewed their search and traced the banner to “Doc’s” house, but all in vain. We decided that the best plan was to act as though nothing had happened, and whenever a crowd of Senior’s would sing, “Where and oh where has our little banner gone?” we would pay no attention whatever. This method continued for several weeks, until finally it was returned to us with its glory undi- minished. A few weeks after school opened President Drake called a meeting to discuss the question of a class pin, and a committee was appointed to select one. A pin was decided upon, and when they arrived in February were admired by every one, particularly for their shape, which is triangular, thus being a change from the customary diamond shaped ones. So far this year we have bent all our energies towards our studies, but now we are beginning to plan and to think of the good times we are to have together ere the final parting. For we know that with our president as a host, we cannot help having a good time at the president’s reception, which is to take place at the P. P. P. hall. Also good times can be expected at the Senior banquet and the party to be given by the Juniors. With all these gaieties the days speed quickly, and ere we know it June 22 will be here, and when that is past there will only be left us happy memories, reunions perhaps, and to prove that as a class non scholae sed vitae discimus. —Ida C. Richardson. 19 CLASS ESSAY. The early history of Saginaw dates back to the year 1819, when a little fort was built on the west bank- of the Saginaw river. A high stockade of massive oaks enclosed several log houses, which the two military companies sent by the United States government were thought valorous enough to defend without the aid of a single canon. Next to this mighty fortification flowed the muddy Saginaw. On its wooded banks were hidden the picturesque wigwams of the Indians, who found the region an ideal place for a home. Myriads of fish could be caught in the river, and deer roamed about in the woods at pleasure. DeTocqueville, a French philosopher, writes of the country: “In a few years these impenetrable forests will have fallen. The sons of civilization and industry will break the silence of the Saginaw. Its banks will be imprisoned by quays; its cur- rent will be stemmed by the prows of vessels. More than a hundred miles sever this solitude from the great European settlement, and we are, perhaps, the last travelers allowed to see its primitive grandeur.” After a few years the fort was deserted, owing to sickness caused by the overflow of the river. It is said that mosquitos were then so numerous that if anyone wished to get water, he would close his eyes, rush toward the bank, dash his pail into the stream and run back with all possible speed. For several years the fort was used as a trading post, and after the establishment of the American Fur Company on the site of the Bancroft, the place grew. In the meantime settlers were making their way along the Flint river to this settlement, which was then known by the Indian name of “ Me-te-Laub-o-Kee, ” the land to get hickory wood for bows and arrows. They were eastern people of aristo- cratic caste, of great courage and power of endurance. The city 20 was now laid out on a larger and grander scale; a hotel, the Webster House, was erected, and a large frame warehouse built on the river’s front. The east side, on the other hand, still remained asleep until in 1840; Curtis Emerson built his home, which was always spoken of as “The Hall of the Montezumas.” He began a little settlement called Buena Vista near the present site of the city hall. The place was the scene of much mirth and merriment, and was well known for the hospitality of its founder. At this time the Saginaw valley was overrun by eastern people who wished to buy up land. The land at the junction of the Saginaw and Tittabawassee rivers was just platted for a city and whole blocks were sold in New York. A party of New Yorkers came to Saginaw City to view the land they had bought, and Curtis Emerson took them up the river to show it to them. When they had gone some distance one of the men asked : “Well, aren’t we coming there pretty soon? ” “Let me see,” Emerson replied, “on this side is one river, on that the other. Why, yes!” he exclaimed, “we are right now in the heart of the city.” In those days there was only an Indian trail leading from here to Detroit, no tavern, not even a white family living on the way. When night came the travelers pitched their camp and continued their journey the next day. Often when they came to swamps and puddles they would carry wives and children on their backs, while some of the men took the horses through almost impassable places. Traveling was always done in com- panies of twelve or more, both for protection and company. Life was not all drudgery for those early settlers. Often in long winter evenings the ladies of the aristocracy gave danc- ing parties, which lasted till early morning. When all was ready “Uncle Jimmy,” the fiddler, who lived about thirty miles away, was summoned. Demijohns played no unimportant part in these festivities, which continued throughout the week, as the fiddler was at hand. In 1849 East Saginaw was platted for Hoyt Company, of New York. The settlement grew slowly at first, as the whole region was swampy and had to be drained. But there soon 21 came a boom over the place and settlers streamed in so that within ten years Saginaw haxl outstripped her sister city by a population four times as great. Up to this time but few houses had been built; instead the city was thickly dotted with shanties. Now, however, all signs of life began to appear. Bridges and hotels were built, the city was lighted with gas, factories and mills arose, and the whistle of the locomotive began to be heard. In fact, our city had sprung up so suddenly that it is only when we count the years which span the gap between the arrival of the first settlers and the present date that we can realize what a young city Saginaw is. In this respect, as well as in others, we feel that she is a typical American city. —Persis M. Goeschel. 22 CLASS SONG. Let your voices gladly ring, Lovely June is come again; Now our parting song we sing, Proudly swell the blithe refrain. For pleasures o’er we give a sigh, With sadness leave old East Side High. Now forward press, into the field, Returning with or on the shield! CHORUS— Raise on high our spotless banner glorious, Hail each fold with joyous measure tune; May it ever wave o’er us victorious, Shout hurrah for gold and gray and blue. Gladly answ’ring Duty’s call, We are eager for the fray, Nothing whatsoe’er befall, Shall our brave hearts dismay. Farewell, classmates of nineteen five, We all must for life’s laurels strive. Each one must to himself be true, And live to honor gold, gray, blue. —Louise R. Sage. The class is indebted to Prof. Platte for setting the class song to music. CLASS ORATION. OUR NAVY. SHOULD OUR PRESENT NAVAL POLICY BE MAINTAINED. In history, song and story our navy has found a place. It has found a place in the pride and affection of our people and in the appropriation bills of our biennial budget. That our navy costs something is a matter of universal knowledge; that it is worth something, is a matter about which there is no great difference of opinion. But how much our navy shall be per- mitted to cost is a subject which is frequently discussed and a question concerning which our people hold widely divergent opinions. It is this question which I propose briefly to discuss. Before entering into a review of the different lines of naval policy it is possible for us to adopt, it is best to consider briefly the part that the navy has played in our history. When the Revolution began, America, as a newly-born nation had, of course, no navy. But she attempted to build a navy during the war which was composed of fast-sailing vessels which could fight, and, if necessary, run away. John Paul Jones and other daring American seamen even infested the British coast to such an extent as to raise English marine insurance rates. But, in spite of their valor, they could not have accomplished much if the French had not assisted. At Yorktown, through the effect- ive blockade by the French fleet, Cornwallis was forced to sur- render, thus practically ending the war. In the war of 1812, when we had neglected our navy and expected to win on land, but be disgracefully beaten at sea, the reverse happened, brought about by such victories as that of Perry on Lake Erie. The policy concerning naval affairs after the war was the same as after the Revolution, so that when the Civil War came we could not effect blockades until we had bought and built ships. If we had been able to establish a systematic and immediate blockade the war would have ended in months instead of years. After the war the wealth of the country increased so rapidly 24 that in 1882 a bill was passed which provided for a regular, systematic increase of the navy. The efficiency of this navy was put to a severe test in the Spanish-American war, and stood this test in a way which astonished the world. In the naval question as presented today three courses are open for our government to follow: First, the policy of “neglect,” which would be gradually to decrease the naval budget, make no provisions for replacing worn out vessels, which would, in time, leave us without a navy. Second, the policy of “maintenance,” which would pro- vide enough funds to retain the strength of the navy, but other- wise avoid all increase of the number of ships, strength and efficiency. Third, the policy of “enlargement,” which would provide to increase the navy in every direction, in the ratio of the increase of our wealth and population, as well as in proportion to the naval growth of our probable adversaries. Which of these ideas would it be wise to follow ? Shall we follow the policy of “neglect?” The very suggestion of such a policy arouses in every loyal American heart an indignant, if unspoken, protest. If it be urged that there have been periods in our history when such has been our apparent policy, as in the period following the Revolution, when our poverty made such a policy excusable, it must not be thought that it would be wise in the present. Recent history has shown that the bat- tles of the present and future will depend on the first-class bat- tleships. If that be true, we cannot possibly wait until war has begun. Then, shall we follow the policy of “maintenance?” A nation needs a navy in times of peace as well as war. If, for example, Americans abroad are subjected to indignities at the hands of natives, do we need a navy to protect them ? We must have ships for such an emergency, must have vessels stationed so as to protect our coast and island possessions. Our recent history has shown that our navy is strong enough for peaceful time. But will we remain at peace with the world ? The United States is at present placed in an unique position by the “Mon- roe” doctrine. In this our government declares: “With the governments 25 who have declared their independence (that is, the South Ameri- can Republics and the Republic of Mexico), we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them or con- trolling in any manner their destiny by any European power in any other light than as a manifestation of an unfriendly dispo- sitio toward the United States.” But, of late years, a practice was inaugurated among the European money-lenders of loaning money to the South Ameri- can republics. Frequent revolutions and consequent poverty have made it difficult to collect the debts. When a new govern- ment took charge of the affairs of its country, it became a cus- tom to refuse to pay the debts incurred by its predecessor. This, of course, the creditors cannot stand for. They appeal to their respective governments and warships are sent to enforce the demands, and, when mere threats are of no avail, the cus- tom houses are seized and part of the receipts taken to pay the debts. At this point, however, the “Monroe” doctrine begins to operate. We must step in and protect the South Americans. There are two possible courses. Either our government must collect the debts or it must refuse to enforce the payment. What if the latter should be the course adopted? War would be the inevitable result, war which, in all probability, would involve more than one nation besides our own. Then war may come and we must be prepared for it. Of the navies of the world our navy is at present third in rank. If, then, the policy of “maintenance” were adopted the other nations, believing in increase of navies, would soon have theirs superior to our own. If war, then, should come the first battles would be naval on account of our geographical position. The navy of the enemy, being superior, would carry the war into our country, which is the very thing we should be prepared to prevent. Our foreign possessions would be taken, which would cause us great humiliation. Not having enough ships even to protect our eoast, we surgly could not take steps to protect our commerce, which would be greatly lessened or wholly de- stroyed. If following the policy of “maintenance” alone would lead to such result% alike humiliating to our national pride and dis- astrous to our commercial prestige, have we, then, not suffi- cient grounds to seek a naval policy along other lines? If the 2« policy of “neglect” is not to be thought of, and the policy of simple “maintenance” is insufficient for our expanding needs, must we not seek in another direction a policy alike consistent with our dignity as a world power and our ability to maintain that dignity among the powers of the earth? The golden age of universal peace has not yet dawned. Two generations ago Victor Hugo wrote: “In the twentieth century, wars, pestilence and famine will have ceased.” The twentieth century is now here. And this day the sceptre of famine still stalks in India; spinal meningitis, a type of pesti- lence uncontrolled, prevails in the chief city of this great nation, and battles of unexampled proportions are waged in Manchuria. Tolstoi, from his Russian home, preaches the doc- trine of non-resistance and peaceful submission. But it is yet true, as it has heretofore been, that if you “make yourself a lamb the wolves will eat you.” By war were the affairs of the world once controlled. By preparation for war is peace now maintained. The United States stand for peace and the “square deal” among the nations. But in the present development of civiliza- tion, can we hope for peace without the means of defending any position we may take? Because we want peace, shall we lose our dignity? We should see to it that the attitude we assume toward other nations be fair and just, but we should reserve the power to uphold our demands if other nations do not follow our example. This can only be accomplished by a large and power- ful navy, which can be secured in no other way than by follow- ing the policy of “enlargement.” Since there are but three possible courses to follow, and the first is not to be thought of, the second is insufficient, then the only wise thing to do, and the only possible thing to do, is to follow the policy of “enlargement,” to increase our navy so that we can maintain our national dignity, safeguard the peace for which we stand, and uphold the principles of which our flag is the symbol on the highways of every sea and in every quarter of the globe where that flag is rightfully planted. —Otto C. Rhode. 27 PHILEMON AND BAUCIS. A Translation from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Lelex, a man grown old in wisdom, told How gods could change the form of young and old. - And thus he spoke, “Heaven’s powers are without end, Whate’er gods wish, to that man’s will must bend. And that ye may believe: on Phrygian hill Myself I saw an oak and linden thrill To every passing breeze, which stirred their tops. Close by, a lake, its blue waves only stopped By low and moss-grown walls, the tall trees guard. Above, the clear, calm air, its silence jarred By loud and clamorous cry of cormorant wild. To this place mighty Jove and Maia’s child, In mortal form, descended from the skies-, Their heavenly shape an earthly dress disguised. A thousand homes they seek for food and rest, A thousand homes refuse their humble quest. Yet one beneath its roof, straw-thatched and low, Received the strangers, friendship’s love to show. Here, Philemon and Baucis, aged pair, Lived many years; each other’s cares they bear, Confessing poverty with patient mind And in their homely hut a simple blessing find. Here prince or pauper with equal welcome stayed, Where two were master and where two obeyed. And so the heavenly gods, with bended head, Entered the hut by old Philemon led, Who drew a covered bench from corner neat, Where each was asked to rest his aching feet. Then Baucis took the ashes from the hearth, And fed her dying fire with leaves and bark And dry sticks, which she plundered from the roof. And here, she placed a kettle, small and proof Against the feeble fire, which burned below. Then, next, the coleworts brought from garden-row She culled and dropped them in the water hot. From the roof there hung o’er their humble cot, A piece of bacon, blackened by the smoke And kept for many a day. With well-aimed stroke Of two-pronged fork, Philemon pulled it down, The salty meat in boiling water drowned. Meanwhile, the gods, with conversation gay, Pass the long time, nor do they heed delay, So Baucis sets the food before the guests, Trembling and tucking up her worn old dress. But yet another fault demanded her care. One table-leg its burden did not share, But high in air disdained its sisters’ task And sought in light and idleness to bask. This Baucis mended with a broken dish And raised the table to its proper pitch And cleaned and whitened it with fragrant mint. The feast began: olives with two-fold tint, Autumnal cornel-cherries kept in lees Of wine. Then endives, radishes and cheese And eggs, turned over on the ashes warm, All served in dishes of the simplest form. And then an earthen mixing-bowl is passed And drinking cups, which out of wood were cast, Hollow within and coated o’er with wax. And none an appetite sufficient lacks To eat the food, hot from the glowing fires And drink the wine, where youth not yet expires. Then next were served nuts, figs and apples red, And grapes from purple vines collected. While in the midst the milk-white honey-comb Surrounds the rest and forms a rounding dome. Besides all these was added lively cheel, Good will and faith and hope abounded here. But yet, so many times the bowls went round, Still through itself the wine anew redounds, 2� That, wond’ring at the strangeness of the sight, They look again to see if they were right. Then, trembling and with outstretched hands they prayed For pardon for the humble feast they laid. One goose, the guardian of their cottage small, Remained, but they would sacrifice their all For guests, the gods from far Olympus tall. But that one, swift of feather, tires them soon, Then to the gods she flies and as a boon Seeks their protection from impending doom. This the gods grant and to their host revealed Their real identity before concealed. And thus Jove spoke, “From heaven above we came, So safe from ruin you alone remain. Only depart and from your dwelling go Far as an arrow sent from bended bow.” They both obey and toward the mountains press And with long staffs they aid their feebleness, The summit reached, they turn their wond’ring eyes Down to the place on which their cottage lies. They view all things, their home alone remained, Their cottage, where no stranger is disdained. Their neighbors, whom the gods had sought in vain, Had vanished, punished by a heavenly bane. They saw their humble home a temple grand, Changed by a higher and a stronger hand. They saw tall columns and a roof of gold, Embossed with figures were their gate-posts old. And thus a voice from out the still air spoke, Their silent awe and profound wonder broke And said, “Speak, righteous man and woman, too, Tell what of all things thou dost wish to do.” So Philemon their common answer made, Their one desire before Jove he laid And asked that they might guard the temple’s gate And that the two should suffer the same fate, ao That he might never follow Baucis’ bier, Nor Baucis, lonely, sorrowing shed a tear, For him, her husband, lying buried near. Their prayer was answered. Worn with years of care, They near the temple and the marble stair, And as they stand, their limbs grow stiff and cold, Their tired arms, stretched heavenward, leaves unfold, Their lips now seen, now vanished ’neath the bark, Murmur among the leaves and shadows dark. And then, “Farewell, oh wife,” he faintly cried, “Farewell, oh faithful husband,” she replied. And now they stand before the Phrygian hill, Their gnarled boughs toward heaven uplifted still. To them the gods shall heavenly honor pay Who honor heaven in a heavenly way. —Ella S. Rhodes. 81 FRENCH ESSAY. KNTRE NOS MAINS. Des sujets les plus profonds Et grands il y a beaucoup.

EL OASIS DE LA VIDA. Zud es la vida? sino un drido desierto Donde la gran congregacidm humana, Marclia cual immensa caravana Sin rumbo fijo ni destino cierto. Todos van en distintas direcci6nes En busca de un oasis, que frondoso Les ofrezca delicia y reposo, Y, asi existen viviendo de ilusidnes. A’ intdrvalos divisan d’lo lejos Lo que forja su loca fantasia Un oasis, mas pierden sualegria A1 encontar que son vanos reflejos. Espejesmos no mas’, que se presentan En el curso del viaje tan riesgoso En pos de ese paraje delisioso Y dichas y esperanzas nos ahuyentan. Cuantos hay que abrumadas por el tedio Que proviene de tantas decepciones Desechan sus dorados ilusiones Y buscan en la muerte su remedio! Y aquellos que guiados por su genio, Despuds de atravesar la senda austera A1 canzan al final de-la carrera De sus trabajos y constancia el premio Y eneuentran el oasis anhelado Tres dias de martirio y liondo duelo A preci a ran en mucho su desvelo Y fuerzas que en el viaje han agotado. Mabeli.e E. MacDonald. SOCIAL ' 38 SOCIAL ESSAY. The social career of the class of 1905 has not been particu- larly brilliant, but the efforts it has made in that direction have been for the most part successful. As is usual with most classes, our Freshman and Sophomore years were minus any social func- tions. Beginning with our Junior year, however, we entered somewhat into social life. The Junior Musical was the first event and proved a great success. The program was com- posed mostly of High School talent and was appreciated by all present. Even at the beginning of the year the discussion as to whether there was or was not to be a Junior Hop was begun. Meeting after meeting was held, but no decision was made. At last a High School party was given under the auspices of the Junior class. It finally took place on the evening of the 29th of January, and although the crowd was not large, owing partly to the number of people opposed to a Junior party, neverthe- less those who went thoroughly enjoyed themselves. And now we come to our Junior exhibition. The subjects centered around the romantic history of our own state, and we can well feel proud of the ten participants of the evening: Pierre D’Esprit Radissou........................Don Blackmar. Father Marquette.......................Otto Rhode. Home Life of Indians...................Ella Rhodes. The Fur Trade.......................Emily Walther. The Coureurs de Bois................Shirley Smart. Daniel Graysoloon Du Shut...................Gerrude Schirmer. Charles Langlade............................William Dudgeon. Indian Legends...............................Persis Goeschel. Mackinac Island...............................Hazel Anderson. Early Governors.....................Alberta Plumb. As the end of the year drew near and we realized that we were soon to lose the Seniors, we decided to give a reception and 89 dance in their honor. Those who had charge of the decorating certainly were to be congratulated, for the time and labor spent upon it were well repaid. After the reception dancing was enjoyed by a great number, and toward the end of the evening the Seniors gave over the historical horn into the safe keeping of the Junior class. As dignified Seniors we have not been very conspicuous in the social world, but soon will come our banquet and gradu- ation and with these events will end the social career of the class of 1905. o� 40 My comrades in the class of five, If in ten years we’re all alive, I venture to remark that this Will be our future lot of bliss. James Peter will a lawyer be, II is fame will spread from sea to sea. Minerva White, in distant lands, Will be a member of Roney’s band. While Marguerite Stevens, good and brave. Will journey far, the Turks to save. A large white sign down town we’ll see, And having curiosity, We’ll stop beneath, and gazing read, And reading will this notice heed: Clarence Jacobs is upstairs, And any one who really dares May laugh with him from four to five, But very few come down alive. Esther Bowman, living alone, Will reap the harvest she has sown. For her complaint, “I cannot hear,” Will drive away her friends most dear. Of marriages there’ll be a few, And first of all there comes in view 41 That of Mabel MacDonald fair, With Chauncey, bright and debonair. Hazel Anderson, some day, Working hard on her essay, Will, sad to relate, most surely find, She can’t keep English in her mind, But all she says in French must be, Which us will move in deep degree. Clarence Wellman’s constitution Being weak, the absolution Of his sins, which might be fewer, Will be received of Reverand Brewer. If you should wish Miss Laing to see, Just go to Washington, D. C. As court stenographer she’ll be there, Bowed down beneath a load of care. Miss Carpenter her husband’ll kill, And then proceed to break his will. But Ida Richardson’s sad fate Will be pronounced at early date. While that of Mabel Norris will Many hearts with pity fill. In Pontiac they will reside, Their rooms will be just side by side. The reason for their being mad— Two lessons will Ida in singing have had. Some noted ones there will appear, Who loftily their heads will rear. A noted actress there will be, Who’ll live far from here o’er the sea. Laura Thomas is her name, To say what ’twill be, I’ll not deign. Another noted one we’ll see, In tall James Koehler, bold and free. He will not be a common thief, But he will be a robber chief. A valient band he will command, Among the bravest he will stand. To captives all most courteous be, But ever will an outlaw be. 42 As chief among, his mighty band, And he who stands at his right hand, Is one from whom all others flee, But really whom ’tis hard to see. His name is Will Dudgeon, far renowned, Has truly a most awful sound. Among the others we will find Two, quite well known among their kind. Edward Zuckermandel wise, And Erick Baker, of mighty size. These four, and many more there’ll be, Whose fame will spread to you and me. Their mighty forest will be shunned For who just likes to give his fund To places even where he should, Much less to men like Robin Hood. ’Twixt Theodore Widemann, so sage, And Waldo Bruske, war will rage. For each will run a barber shop, And both will try to be on top. Ethel Howey will soon write An English dictionary light. Florence Stevenson, I think, Will under social duties sink. With uniform and cap and specs, Will Arnold Severn tread the deck Of the ship he will command, While Leslie leads the large brass band. In just ten years I hope to see Alfred Connery from college free. As violinist will Miss Taylor Win the heart of some brave sailor. Ida Palm, that foolish maid, Though fortunes are about her laid, Will not take any, but will start Candy stores at Riverside Park. Eleanor Meston, as truest friend, Her services to Ida’ll lend. Just near the door her sign she’ll fling, And just beneath will stand and sing. 48 ■ You’ve all heard often, I dare say, Of Red Cross nurses, far from gay, Who to the field of battle go And bravely help to fight the foe. Lenora Kull will gladly take This occupation, and will make Some trusty friends accompany her; Their going will create a stir. May Terry will be one of these, And she’ll upon another seize. Lillian Arnold, whose heart ’twill rend, And on these two will much depend. Beatrice Dieckman and Florence Maier Will vent upon the foe their ire. Miss Zander and Miss Bricker, too, Will this, their chosen life, ne’er rue. Archie Milne, I have foreseen, Will turn into an adding machine. George Satava, that great scholar, Will receive an honest dollar For every copy of his book On history, learned from Mr. Cook. Otto Rhode will soon hold The office of dog warden bold, Where his wondrous mental power Will develop every hour. Persis Goeschel will ere long Be noted for her gift of song. Gertrude Schirmer, meek and pale, Will but shortly take the veil. While Elizabeth Van Brunt, Upon her doors, both back and front, Will tack a sign on which there’ll be, “All boys I do refuse to see.’’ A circus soon will come to town, With Walter Qualman in as clown. Arthur Little a speaker’ll be, If you don’t believe just go and see. Some teachers very much alive, Will come from out our class of five. 44 - Physical culture will Douna take, And no failure of it make. A cry of terror will be heard From all the pupils of Miss Bird. With wondrous ease will Lottie Wilson The main part take in “Prince of Pilsen.” Lena will in later years Move many an audience to tears When she plays so wondrous clear, “Sweet and Low,” to us so dear. George Wallis, as a supreme judge, Will settle cases for foot ball teams. Michigan’s history will be told By Emily Walther. When it’s sold, Its most attractive feature’ll be The maps of every town and sea. Ella Rhodes will e’er be found In some old building, far from sound, Way off in Rome, where she will strive Della’s interest to revive In some old dusty manuscript, O’er which many mice have tripped. We’ll often hear of Louise Gage, And her name will grace the page Of a literature renowned, In which her poems will be found. Gertrude Fiegel will collect, And from the trials of life protect, All the cats there are in town; Their fur she’ll keep as soft as down. A title will Miss Golson bear, Her husband, of all men most rare, Will o’er a band of Boers be king, And will to them her praises sing. Earl Davis and John Walther, too, Will make all robbers feel quite blue. Policemen by the rabble called, Detectives by the more appalled. Ella Graves will soon become A woman noted for the sum 46 1 Of all the money she will get, From teaching people not to fret. In business will Miss Lounsberry Not long among the shiftless tarry. She will rise to eminence, For she will use her “common sense.” Don Blackmar will to England go, And quickly to a dude will grow. It makes me very sad, For it is really quite too bad, To remark that in ten years, Despite their mingled sobs and tears, Four forlorn old maids there ’ll be, Who’ll pet their cats and brew their tea. Neva Bosworth and Wanda Heim Will ever cry, “That good old time.” Misses Schmidt and Weidemann Will take a vow to see no one. Upon his letters will Frank Beale Proudly fix a government seal. For Women’s Rights will Nellie stand, And firmly voice her just demand. Miss Edelmann, before she dies, Will to a German teacher rise. Anna Eva Fay will take Miss Coy as a pupil. She will make Your hair turn gray, your eyes grow wild, A wonder new will she be styled. In future days will Harriet Beach The people round about beseech To let her sing a song or two, But they’ll ne'er say she’s sung too few. Ethel Gaffney and Myrtle LaLonde Will study art, of which they’re fond. If o’er their fate we shed a tear, No matter, of it they’ll ne’er hear. Shirley Smart will be in charge Of a wholesale grocery large. So heavily on him will it sit, He will die of an apoplectic fit. 48 In just ten years will Miss McLeod Be so extremely glad and proud Of her novel, which she’ll write, She will be simply “out of sight.” Millinery parlors will Bertha start; People will come from every part To gaze with wonder, mixed with fright, At this truly awful sight. For Lula Burwitz will be there, And as a trimmer do her share. Now, just what my own fate will be It cannot be my lot to see; But let us hope ’twill never be Writing another prophecy. —Alberta Plumb. 47 NOVEL. An Undelivered Acceptance. Bob Thornton sat before the grate idly gazing into the flames. He was dreaming, was Bob, and now and again a joyous smile lighted up his boyish face, but it died quickly, for the flames gave him back no answering smile. His thoughts were of pretty, dark-eyed Betsy Wentworth. When he smiled he was thinking of some bright remark or some playful taunt she had accidentally cast his way. Accidentally, shall we say? Well, perhaps. Be that as it might, the thought that he had not seen her for—oh, it seemed ages—caused a worried frown to cloud his countenance. Soon he heard the front door open and close, then his mother’s footsteps in the room overhead. As she descended the stairs he called to her: “Mother, was that my suit?” “Yes, Bob; it just came from the tailor’s and looks as nice as new.” “Well! I guess I will have a look at it,” Bob responded languidly. Suiting actions to words he ascended the stairs to inspect the returned garments. But what had the tailor done to the trousers? They had shrunk until they were a good many inches too small for Bob’s sturdy stature. And could it be possible that he had ever but- toned his broad shoulders in that diminutive coat? No. That tailor must have made a mistake. 48 Without further delay he tore down to the telephone and caused great consternation in the tailor shop by saying he had sent him the wrong suit. In another part of the city Ned Wentworth was just start- ing out to make a call. “Ned,” his sister questioned timidly, “did you deliver my note?” “Of course I did, Betsy,” Ned answered absently, and, it must be confessed, a little impatiently. The door slammed behind him and Betsy went back to her place by the fire. Eight o’clock came and with it no Bob; half past eight and nine and still he did not come. Surely he’s coming, thought Betsy, because I said I wanted to see him. Poor girl, she was destined to go to her bed that night disconsolate and heavy-hearted, but vowing inwardly that she would just show Mr. Bob Thornton she didn’t care a mite for him. The next day the tailor’s messenger started out to search for the missing suit. He came to the Thornton home just as Bob was starting out. Bob went upstairs and brought down the long, slender suit that had been returned to him the night before as his own. The messenger suggested that they make a thorough seareh of the pockets in hopes of finding some clue to the identity of the owner. But pocket after pocket yielded no result, until Bob held aloft in triumph a tiny, unsealed envelope. Perhaps this would disclose the own- er’s name. He opened it. This is what he read, evidently scrawled in great haste: You ought to know I had rather go with you to the party than with anyone else. Come over tomorrow night and we will talk it over. Yours as ever, BETSY WENTWORTH. March 28, ’05. No, this gave him no clue as to the name of the gentleman whose pockets he was now searching, but it did explain Betsy’s 49 coldness toward him when he had met her that very morning. She—Betsy—whom he had always considered as his own, was in love with “quite another fellow.” That must be the reason he had received no reply to his timid note, requesting her “to allow him the pleasure of her company to the Friday dancing party.” Well, one thing was sure, he would not take another girl. Friday night came, and during all that time only twice had Betsy even noticed Bob, and then she really had to. The poor fellow arrived at the party during the third dance, eager for the melancholy satisfaction of beholding his rival. He was sure that individual was not of his acquaintance. Even Bob’s jealous gaze, however, could discover in Betsy’s partner no more dangerous a rival than her brother Ned. All the evening Bob’s eyes followed her, and when at last he found a chance to join her circle of admirers, he found Ned telling the tale of a lost suit of clothes. “Was that your suit, Ned?” Bob asked, excitedly. “Yes,” Ned answered, with a side glance at Betsy; “and the worst of it was there was a note in the pocket for you.” “But, Ned,” Betsy’s face paled slightly, “you told me you gave it to—a—a—you said you delivered it.” “Well, I thought I did, but I didn’t,” Ned sulked, as he rose and sauntered off. “B-o-b,” came despairingly from Betsy, as she raised her face to the boy beside her. “I beg your pardon, Betsy, but I believe I have this next dance with you?” Bob questioned unhesitatingly. “Ah! no you don’t,” spoke up a conceited fellow. But he was too late, for Betsy and her partner, Bob, were already lost in the dancing throng. “Whom did you come with, Betsy,” was Bob’s one question. “Why, Bob, I came with brother Ned, of course,” Betsy faltered. —Eleanor Heston.

For ten long years they fought and struggled, Fought in battles single, large, Fought until the slain were doubled, Hut all in vain were host and barge. Finally Ulysses, crafty. Discovering now some new-thought scheme Asked the Greeks, when all assembled. How to them this plan would seem. “Let us build a huge horse,” said he. “Which we'll till with bravest men; Then we'll sail around your island And hide ourselves in nearby den.” “In the meanwhile, seeming treacherous, Sinon Trojans shall inform. How the gods have gone against us, And why we leave this horse 'gainst storm.’ “Which, if Trojan dare to touch it. Thinking not of snare so deep, They will draw it in the city. And, care-free, will drink and sleep. “In the night, when all is silent, , Simon shall the horse unbar. And the hidden Greeks shall issue Forth, and open Gates ajar. The Greeks this plan so much applauded. And they all thought it so fine, That all rushed to hillsides wooded And brought back trees of oak and pine. Soon the architect Epeas, Planning quick, and working well, Brings the horse near to completion, Which is the Trojan’s dread death knell. And now the weighty question rises, Who will stay within the horse. While the other Greeks are hiding. Awaiting success of this force?” fit Many volunteer their service, Until there is such a lot, That Ulysses, fearing envy, Dare not choose men for this plot. So, l y chance, the Greeks are chosen Who shall constitute the force, And the others, disembarking. Leave them in the wooden horse. (Lapse of twelve hours.) Morning comes, and from their recess Dark, they see at break of dawn, Trojans coming from the city, Glad that now the Greeks have gone. Soon upon this scene comes Sinon, Tells his story, is believed. And the Greeks, in cramped quarters, Think they soon will be relieved. But alas for their conjectures. If they’ve been before distressed By sMght sword pricks, or the crowding. Soon, indeed, they’ll have no rest. For, in spite of high priest’s warning, Trojans try with utmost zeal To move the horse, and soon the Grecians Results of their hard labor feel. First the movement is hardly noticed. But at last it gains in strength. And a quick jolt runs a dagger Into one Greek, half its length. Backward, forward, are they crowded. Some are wounded, some fall down. To be trampled on by others. And all wish they're in town. Finally, when the wall is reached. In which the men a breach have torn, All are piled pell-mell in one end, And many wish they'd ne’er been born. Some are drenched by splashing water. Which had in the horse been stored. And now and then a thud is heard, As some poor head hits hard a board. It is maddening to their senses, To hear without the joyous cry Of Trojan, and to know That even yet they all might die. lift It tasks their waning strength to utmost In trying to stifle cries and groans, How can Grecian stop the clashing Arms, and keep back muffled moans? Hut the Greeks, helped by the gods. Are not discouraged, and at last Trojans get the horse in city. And on the areem leave it fast. This is sweet relief to Grecian, And all try some sleep to get. For this night their plan will either Fail, or Troy on fire they'll set. Just at midnight all are startled By a rattling at the door, Which they open and come sliding Down the rope, all stiff and sore. Guards are killed, and Troy is fired. And the other Grecians enter gate; The death of Trojans now is certain. Hut some few make their escape. Among the fleeing, one Aeneas, (Destined scholars to harass). Was the theme of Virgil’s poem. Which is the bane of Senior Class. —Don C. Blackmar, ’05. , A Ctt OFFICERS. LESLIE K. ALLINGTON. . . K C SHIRLEY SMART, ... V. E. C. SIDNEY R. SMALL, . . . . E. S. DONALD W. GREEN, . . . -E. R.

The 1904 foot ball team will go down in history as being one of the strongest elevens that ever represented the “gold and the black.” The success was due not only to the members of the team themselves, but to the loyal support given by the faculty and the student body at large. In early September Captain Allington issued a call for foot ball candidates, which was responded to loyally, both by last year’s veterans and by new material. With such players as Krupp, Green, Davis, McCoy, Wellman, Schmidt and Phoenix as a foundation, the eleven rapidly rounded into shape. Practice was carried on early and late at the Hoyt School grounds until the following Saturday, when the first game with Flint High School was scheduled to take place. In this contest the boys showed up well, considering the little practice and the few times they had been together. The Flint team were no match for their heavier opponents and consequently were defeated 23 to 0. The Saturday of the following week Saginaw clashed with the strong West Bay City eleven, on the latters’ grounds. The game was fast and furious from start to finish, and when the smoke had cleared away the score stood 12 to 0 in our favor. Thus Saginaw had added the second scalp to its belt. The annual game with the West Side took place the last day of the following week before a large crowd at Athletic Park. The West Siders never before received such an over- whelming defeat from the East Side. Their line simply melted before the terrific onslaughts of the East Siders. Time and time again Green and Phoenix tore through the lines for good gains, or Allington and McCoy skirted the ends for long runs. In just one minute Green was shoved over for the first touch- down. From then on the contest was so one-sided that it became monotonous for the spectators to gaze at it. When time was finally called it was found that we had rolled up the large score of fifty-two to our opponents’ nothing. 1 0 Bay City, Saginaw’s next antagonist, was still smarting from the sting of last year’s defeat when they lined up against Saginaw on that eventful October day. The shrill sound of a whistle echoes across the field, signifying that game is on. Saginaw has kicked off and the Bay City runner is downed in his tracks by Krupp’s flying tackle. Back and forth across the field the teams surge. Suddenly the tide of battle seems to turn. Bay City, with irresistible force, is rushing toward our goal line. Heroically we attempt to withstand the onrushing tide, but to no avail. Bay City has scored its first touchdown. Thus the first half closes with the score six to nothing in Bay City’s favor. The second half opens in whirlwind style. By terrific line bucking the ball is carried to Bay City’s three-yard line. The crowd then simply went wild, and cries of “touchdown” echoed across the field. Green, the herculean full back, then seized the ball and with the force of a giant he plowed through the enemy’s line for a touchdown. Cries of Een-diea-deen-dica-fada-diea-fum, Een-nica-boba-een-nica-boda, Gadaeen-d.ica-deen-dica-fada-dica-fum, Saginaw High School, Zis! Rah! Boom! echoed across the field, banners fluttered and hats were thrown into the air. But in another instant the rooters’ delight was turned into gloom, for Referee Philips refused to allow the score. The Saginaw team refused to submit to the decision and left the grounds. Thus the first game was forfeited to Bay City. As no regular contest was scheduled for the following week, a game was arranged with the strong Monarch team. The High School simply romped over their heavier opponents. Krupp and Wellman time and again would break through the Monarchs’ line and throw the runner back for a loss. Their line was torn to pieces by the terrific plunges of Davis, Green, McCoy and Allington. The fine defensive work of Smart, Brandle and Phoenix also attracted attention. Flint Avas the next eleven to play at Saginaw. As this contest was rather one-sided it would be monotonous to recite all the details. The Flintites were outclassed in every point of the game, and were vanquished by the score of thirty to nothing. J(N) The game with West Bay City occurred on the following Saturday. The largest score of the season was rolled up by Saginaw in this game. This was another one-sided contest, as the score, sixty to nothing, in our favor, indicates. On the following Saturday occurred the last game of the season with Bay City. Two more equally matched teams never •met on any gridiron. Before one of the largest crowds of the season the teams lined up for battle. Twice Saginaw rushed the ball to Bay City’s five-yard line, only to be held for downs. The first half was a drawn battle, as neither side could score. The second half started in much the same as the first, but near the close of the half Patchell, the Bay City quarter back, tried a drop kick for a goal. The ball narrowly missed the goal posts, but Referee Dunlap, who himself did not see the trial, took the Bay City spectators’ word for it and allowed the score. Thus Saginaw’s aspirations for the championship of the Saginaw Valley Athletic League were vanquished. The members of the team, without an exception, played a very strong game. Krupp’s playing at quarter was beyond criticism. At tackling and running back punts he was a won- der. Taking everything into consideration, he is the finest player that ever fought for the “gold and the black.” Green at full back also played a remarkably strong game. For carry- ing the ball or breaking up interferences he could always be depended upon. McCoy and Allington at halves were good ground gainers, fine tacklers, and showed good head work. Schmidt at center passed the ball well and was a good defensive player. Brandle and Smart as guards tackled well and were under every rush. The terrific tackle plays of Phoenix and Davis, and their fine defensive work, mark them as two of the strongest men on the team. Wellman at end played a remark- ably strong game. Ilis tackling was deadly, while at getting down on punts he could not be beat. Much credit is due Captain Allington for the success of this year’s team, and for the keen interest shown by the faculty and students at large. In the election of Roy Green as next year’s captain a strong team is assured. Ilis retiring team mates and the class of naughty five wish him the best of success. In this year’s “scrubs” some very promising material for 101 next year’s team were brought out. Qualman, Birss and Milne at backs, and Connelly at end, played a very creditable game. Although their schedule was limited, nevertheless they suc- ceeded in defeating Bay City’s second team and tying the Miller Athletics. Latter in the season the Seniors succeeded in defeating the All-Classman by a score of five to nothing. ALL-SAGINAW VALLEY ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION TEAM. Left End..................Fishe� . Bay City.

As there was no experienced material to select from, Captain Krupp diligently set to work to round out a team that would he a credit to the school. The team having no gymnasium of its own in which basket ball could be played, the Y. M. C. A. rooms were obtained. Here practice was carried on both early and late in preparation for the opening game. The first game of the season was with the strong Naval Reserve team at the Y. M. C. A. rooms. By clever team work and fine basket throwing the High School scored at will. Green, Krupp and Milne threw baskets in rapid succession, while McVety at guard blocked many throws for baskets. When time was called at the end of the second half we had scored forty-three to our opponents’ eight. The following week Bay City, Saginaw’s old rival, was defeated by the score of twenty-seven to twenty-two. In this contest the fine basket throwing of Green and Krupp was the feature of the game. The next team to fall a victim to the High School’s onslaught was the Rifles, who, until this game, had never been defeated. The game was fast and furious from start to finish, and at the end of the contest the score stood twenty-three to fourteen in our favor. The following week the High School met its only defeat of the season. Bay City, having been defeated earlier in the season, had earnestly set to work to retrieve their loss. As a result Saginaw was defeated twenty-three to eleven. On Friday of the next week the first game with Midland occurred. In this contest the fine team work of Saginaw was again the feature of f lic game. Green at center, and Milne and Krupp at forwards, played a masterly game. When the whistle had finally sounded Saginaw had scored another victory, the score being thirty-three to fifteen in our favor. The last game of the season took place at Midland, with 105 the strong High school team of that place. This was one of the finest contests of the season, as the teams were very evenly matched. The first half was played in whirlwind style, and when time was called the score was tie. In the second half Saginaw took a brace, and from then on it was Saginaw’s game. The playing of Jacobs at guard and Green at center attracted considerable attention. In this contest the score was twenty- two to ten in our favor. Considering that this is the first year the school has ever been represented by a basket ball team, the season has been very successful. Captain Krupp is deserving of much credit for the able manner in which he has coached the team in the season just closed. The election of Edward McVety as next year’s captain assures a strong team for 1906. —George W. Wallis, Jr. 106 BASKET BALL TEAM BASKET BALL TEAM. GERALD KRUPP, Captain.....................Forward.

For the first time in several years Saginaw has a base ball team that bids fair to make a creditable showing. The naught three and four teams were complete failures, being unable to score a single victory. The. snow had no sooner left the ground than the call for candidates was issued. A large crowd of aspirants responded loyally to the call. With the veterans of last year’s team for a foundation, and with the addition of new material, the team began to practice diligently. For several weeks practice was carried on in fielding and base running in preparation for the opening game. Green as pitcher and Drake as catcher formed a battery of which any High School ought to be proud. With these players supported by excellent material the prospects for a successful season never before looked so bright. The first game took place at Flint with the strong High School team of that place. Considering that this was the first game of the season the nine showed up well, although they did not succeed in winning. The pitching of Green, who had nine strike-outs to his credit, was particularly good. With proper support he would easily have won his game. A few costly errors, which gave Flint most of its scores, lost the game for Saginaw. Of the following Saturday occurred the annual game with the Arthur Hill High School. As they had been successively defeated last year and the year before, the boys were deter- mined to win this game at all costs. The West Siders were outplayed from start to finish. Green had their batters com- pletely at his mercy, having no less than fifteen strike-outs to his credit. When the dust had finally settled the score board read East Side eighteen, Arthur Hill three. Thus Saginaw had won its first game, and the first, we hope, of a series of suc- cesses. Mt. Pleasant was scheduled to play a game here on the next Saturday, but on account of the rain this game was declared off. 10� —George W.

Lon before the weather had moderated so as to allow out- door track work the track men had been daily practicing in the new Manual Training building gymnasium. Day after day the boys dashed around the circular track in preparation for the annual field meets. The weather had no sooner become warm than Captain Blackmar issued his call for candidates. Among those who responded were to be found some of the best athletes that ever represented the School. The absence of Krupp, our star athlete of last year, left a vacancy which it was almost impossible to fill. Nevertheless, the boys set to work with a will, determined to uphold our last year’s glory. As Union Park could not be obtained, the preliminaries were held at Davis Park. This trial meet was held for the pur- pose of selecting the men who would represent the school in the field meets which were to follow. The most exciting race of the day was the mile run, which, as was expected, went to Blackmar, although McVety pushed him hard at the finish. Weidemann easily captured the two twenty and the high and low hurdles, while Davis easily won the broad jump and ham- mer-throw. On Saturday, April 29, a dual meet with Arthur Hill High School took place at Union Park. As a strong breeze was blowing no records were at any time in danger of being broken. The day was a trifle cold and raw, but nevertheless a large crowd of the teams’ adherents turned out. As was expected, the East Siders easily won the meet, having scored sixty-three to the Arthur Hill’s forty-five. Weidemann and Davis espec- ially distinguished themselves, the former winning the four forty, the two twenty and low hurdles, while Davis took the hammer-throw and broad jump. Several dark horses were brought out, among them being Randall, who won the hundred by a pretty sprint, and Markey, who showed beautiful form in the pole vault. The other events 112 were all closely contested and some good work was done, par- ticularly the performance of McVety, who was right at Black- mar’s heels at the finish of the mile. Miller also showed up well in the hundred yard dash. The excellent showing made by the boys in this meet assures our loyal supporters that Sagi- naw will more than hold its own in the big valley meet. —George W.

Blackmar—“In the ‘nec.’ ” There was a young senior named Otto, Who always had this for a motto: “The longer my hail-, The more thoughts will be there; Then I can do that which I've got to.” The Freshmen boast two scholars Of quite a different size; The little one is scarce three feet, The big six-three doth rise. But it is such a wondrous thing, Though the big one reach the sky; No matter now how tall he grows, The other's just as “Hi.” Port McCoy is a gambling man. But he don't play poker or fan tan; Nor does he bet on the races, For he doesn’t know jacks from aces. None of this for little Lort, Because he is a gentle sport; But I won’t say he never bets. For he lost a bunch of Violets. There was a young Senior named Peter, Who proposed a good joke on the teacher; But the joke failed to work. For she thought they'd all shirked.
