of purple, and keep the original white. This matter settled, we next turned our attention toward choosing a pin. A diamond-shaped one was decided upon and when it arrived, was praised by everybody. Thus far we have not participated in society; but at our last class-meeting, we determined to- give a rag-time musicale on May 18th, which would be a deviation from the usual ones with their classical music. , Now we have only pleasant events to look forward to. The uppermost one in all our minds is the graduation. With what expectations and hope do we look forward to this leave- taking from the old school, the last time we may all be assembled together. But wherever we are. we shall always retain fond memories of the old Saginaw High School. Gertrude M. Vanderhoof. 25

SOCIAL ESSAY. Although the social career of the Class of 1906 has not been exceptionally brilliant, everything which it has under- taken has been successful. During the Freshman and Sopho- more years, the only part our class took in the social life of the High School, was to be present at and give its support to all functions given by other classes. Indeed, not only in our Freshman and Sophomore years, but all through our High School course, this characteristic of being strongly represented at events given by other classes, has been evident. In our Junior year, three most important social events took place: the Junior Musicale, the Junior Exhibition, and the Junior Reception and Dance. The Junior Musicale was held November 11, 1904, and was a success socially, as well as financially. Although the decorations were not elaborate, the High School Auditorium was made to look less formidable than it does at Chapel exercises, and with a good program, much of which was contributed by High School talent, the evening was enjoyed by all present. A Junior Hop, which was the cause of much dispute, would really be the next event to record, but as the Class of ’06 did not have a Hop. an account of it will obviously have to be omitted. At the beginning of the year, the Hop was much discussed ; several very exciting meetings were held, and it was finally decided to give a Hop. But alas! the members of the committee could not agree, and, as the Faculty were opposed to it, the Hop was given up. A very interesting subject “The United States and Its Possessions” had been chosen for the Junior Exhibition, and our class is proud of its ten representatives who took part in the following program: 27
