KELSEY CARA LOVELAND HOYT LIBRARY The students of the Saginaw High School have passed many a pleasant hour within this inviting place. No one in Saginaw benefits more by this grand institution than the students and we wish to express to Miss Ames and the taxpayers our appreciation. President’s Address Before the final farewell is said it is the privilege of the President to deliver his last word to the class. We have reached the time when we must part and go our several ways. For many reasons this parting is sad. We have formed friendships with each other which have been nurtured by the close relations of our high school life. e have had guiding hands to constantly help or constrain us. Now we must part from these influences never again to assemble in unbroken ranks. It has been happily provided by the beneficent Creator that in each life there shall be pauses and interruptions, points of time when one kind of action ceases and another begins, when friendships of long stand- ing are broken, when we cease to pursue the even tenor of our way. We have reached the parting of the woys. Yet we dare not be sad. Rather let us be joyful in the future, optimistic over its glorious possi- bilities, prospects and opportunities. Commencement is a distinct step in advance in the progress of our lives. Before we go forth to accomplish results we should have a fixed purpose as well as steadfast ideal. First of all. let us be resolved to make good citizens of this grand country. Let us strive to take an active interest in the affairs of our nation. Some in this class will go forth and achieve success and fame. Others will occupy less con- spicuous. but surely not less useful positions in the world. Whatever our future position let us be good, upright, true citizens of our country. Let us be honest with ourselves, firm set in the principles of right and determined to live up to the best there is for us. Whatever our sta- tion in life may be, let us strive faithfully toward our ideal. Then let each one of us say t o himself,—If 1 cannot be first, I will be foremost. As a class, we have maintained a high reputation for establishing good and worthy precedents by which future classes will remember us. Our conferences with our younger brothers, the Freshmen, have shown that the Iron Brigade” has taken an active interest in helping our younger friends over the quicksands of their trying first year. Our record in athletics ranks equally high with that of oratory. Our stand for right in this school and our stability on all questions enables us to make the proud boast that our record stands without a blemish. May we maintain the same high reputation for establishing firm- ness. broadness and strength of character as individuals that we have as a class. May we be able to make the same proud boast when we are ready to lay down life's burden,—I have done my best and my record stands without a blemish. What have we gained throughout these four years? Surely it cannot alone be the Latin or German or Sciences, but the assimilation of thse studies, the observations and activities which have helped us form our character. To those who have helped us mold this foundation, the teachers, we cannot express our appreciation. Their only reward can come from a personal satisfaction that their training will be the source whence comes a successful as well as a strong character. Then let us go forth hopefully and cheerfully, resolved to succeed, and determined to bear our banner as triumphantly in the future as the “Class of 1912” have borne theirs in the past.

Four years ago we entered these historic walls imbued with a desire to win all that was worthy of winning. During this time we have struggled to gain that which education brings. There are those of us who when reverses stared us in the face turned about and tied; there are also those who met them but proved too weak and were conquered; and there are those—the present Senior class—who met these difficulties and triumphed over them. Of those three hundred and eighteen who entered then, there remain but these hundred and six—the veterans of the veterans, the iron brigade of Saginaw High. Entering the battle four years ago we have emerged with colors flying, tried, and true. M e are now on the verge of another great battle which will test our courage to the utmost. It is the Battle of Life that we are facing, that great problem of making ourselves worthy of our fellow-beings an.d of Him who has created us. However, let us enter into the fray as of yore with that high spirit, that firm resolve, that serene courage which has marked our progress through this institution. You, dear classmates, are about to go forth with the full strength of your abilities! after spending the period of training in this institu- tion where you have gained that knowledge and that experience with which you must now meet a critical world. Many years of such thor- ough preparation have you undergone. Many of your former class- mates have fallen by the roadside unable to stand the strain, but you, that small remnant of the three hundred and eighteen, have overcome all obstacles and have crossed the goal in safety and in honor. When you entered high school it was to seek knowledge. By having acquired knowledge you hoped to secure success, and by having success you felt certain of eventually securing happiness. This, I am sure, you now possess in a certain degree. You are about to graduate and to seek other fields of activity. The idea of graduation is too often mis- construed, too often misinterpreted and misunderstood. The graduate is but a beginner in life. He is no more, no less. The question naturally arises then, what is school for? It is to teach you how to meet life, how to grasp those problems which you may meet, and how to make life w'orth living. It can show' you a few examples but it cannot solve those problems for you which present themselves in actual life. Those are for you as an individual to analyze and to solve. All the training which you have had, all the experience and the knowledge that you now possess will fit you for the future. There is a time in each man’s life when opportunity bids him enter the ranks of success and whether you heed this or not you alone can tell. To you. dear teachers, and to you, our beloved Principal, we owe untold gratitude indeed. To you, our entrance into these halls was attended by perhaps no more significance than that of preceding classes. We, however, were optimistic, eager, and anxious to enter this new and larger sphere of activity. With consummate skill you divided us into classes and groups. Tireless you seemed, indeed, for unceasingly you labored in our behalf until we were familiar at last with the new and to us strange customs and regulations. To some it seemed that “heavy was the hand that ruled over us,” and they departed to seek their fortunes elsewhere. The Freshmen year quickly rolled away and following the succeeding years. Years of happiness they were, of joy, of friendships made, and ties of love and affection were grown which will cause us to forever remember our dear school. ’Tis true, many and countless were the adversities which confronted us, but with you as the pilot we had no fear and we easily mastered the difficulties in our way. Many were the hours when a fierce desire to leave school almost overwhelmed us. We battled against this lurking foe with the aid of our peerless Principal, who never was too busy or too occupied to listen to our tale of woe and to find a remedy for it. It was this encourage- ment by him which helped us pass over the rugged rocks and precip- itate paths in our quest of knowledge leading to that great world which harbors within its borders men and women of refinement and culture. We realize that your path as instructors is not strewn with roses. Countless, indeed, are the troubles and discouragements which beset you. Nevertheless, from you we have gained much of the knowledge that we now possess. You endeavored to impart to us in the best way that you were capable of that which is essential to our welfare and prosperity and which will make 11s more self reliant than e er as we enter upon our various occupations. 1 can conceive of no more fitting reward for your labors than our success in life. It is due to your efforts that we have succeeded. It is due to your efforts that our character has been built upon a solid foundation. If in your entire life as a teacher you have chanced to save but one soul from the prim- rose path of evil. should you not feel as if you had accomplished some- thing noble, that you have fulfilled your mission in this world? The great majority of us, I am certain, appreciate your efforts in oiti behalf, l’erchance there are a few who have as yet failed to realize that all was intended for their welfare. Yet when they in their old age look back over the flight of years, when they have had experiences of their own, they will acknowledge with gratitude their indebtedness to you. Young America lies in your-hands; you have the power to mold and shape it; and whatever success it may attain is but the fruit of your en- deavors, the reward of your toil and labor. To you, Juniors and Seniors-to-be, we have a few parting words to give. When we leave this beloved school, when our guiding hand no more shall lead you, let us exhort you to follow in our footsteps as we have attempted to follow in those of preceding classes. To you, we de- liver and hand down the traditions of the school unstained and un- tarnished as they were delivered to us. Regard them as sacred and punish the ruthless hands which dare disturb these time-honored relics. To you, we further entrust these dear halls which we have come to love as our own. the high standard of scholarship for which Saginaw High is famous, and the athletics of the school. May your cheers bring fear and dismay into the ranks of your enemies and may they inspire your teams on to renewed energy until the banner of Saginaw High flutters in the breeze announcing to the world its victory. 1 hough the task is great yet we have no fear of your ability' to assume these duties. e wish you success and prosperity and trust you will be a credit to Saginaw High. Fellow-classmates, the hour of parting draws nigh. It is for the last time that we sit here as Seniors at the head of the school. We are about to wander out into the wide world searching for that path which will lead us to success. Our race is won and as we depart it is with a fond blessing on our lips for the dear old school that has so safely harbored us these past four years. In behalf of the class of nineteen hundred and twelve, 1 bid you all a fond and loving farewell. J. RUDOLPH LIST. Of a fairy relation who could do the same; Yet one mystic evening, on June twenty-sixth, A tap at my window called on me to list, And as the moonlight its strange glories threw On the panes of the casement, dreams came anew As I thought of the promise when ten years did pass The Little Lame Prince had a strange fairy cloak Which swept thru the air with a swift magic stroke, The gift of a fairy to mortals unknown, Who unveiled her presence to Prince Dolor alone, And few on this earth the honor can claim I'd know the future of my High School class. How to he shown me, 1 did not then know, But thru the window a voice whispered low, “I'm your fairy godmother, calling tonight, Standing outside in the shim’ring moonlight. ’Tho no cloak I'm bringing to travel afar; If you'd know the future just stay where you are.” A feeling of anger upon me did steal For vaguely I wondered what way to reveal The future I'd promised to each loyal schoolmate When I had been bidden no journey to take. Then quick desperation made me cry aloud, I wish that this carpet would sail thru a cloud, And carry me far to the lands of the earth Where lies the future in all its grave worth.” The words scarcely uttered, the casement flew back, And a queer little lady in golden and black Stood in the moonlight, her wand tipped with blue, Told me in an instant my wish had come true. “Dear maiden, impatience is sad to behold,” She quoth quite wisely; the blue changed to gold. And again stood before me the dear class of T2 Into whose future I soon was to delve. “Thy wish is granted,” the wand swiftly flashed, And slowly the carpet its fastenings unlashed, And lightly it rose thru the casement to sail, While off in the distance the moonlight grew pale And earth’s visions faded, .the stars smaller grew, And the voice whispered softly, “What will you do With your gifted carpet; where will you go?” “First to my country, its magic to show.” The edges then folded, while swiftly the breeze Wafted me over the mountains and trees To where the White House is now known to stand, Where one day our Wilber, an orator bland, Hopes to be living, it’s quite safe to say, If his party carries, its Insurgency’s day. Fair Inez Jones translates Milton’s sage glories, And will soon charm the nation with his categories. Ben Fesler is coaching a bachelors’ ball team, Where they say that the playing is really a scream. Florence is now treasurer of the Suffragettes’ League; But few arc the dues that she’s apt to receive. Bill Wallace has charge of the coming election; He’s counting the ballots from every known section. The etchings of Ulrich are winning much fame; As a critic of drama we find Marion Payne. Edward Martin is running a large southern farm, But I think that his products the market will harm. Herbert List is a man of high repute, In Milwaukee lie’s got a job to suit. “Anheuser-Busch’’ and “Schlitz” to hoot. Margueretta Hunter much success has won . By her wonderful theories on “School Skipping’s Fun.” Earl Wagner has written a new dictionary With thousands of phrases that really arc airy. Frank Spencer’s a policeman in Zilwaukee town. And does up offenders the very best brown. Robert Hodges has written a stirring new play Which has as its title, “How Flirting will Pay.” Myrtle llinkley is known as his leading support; She’s creating a furore in wicked New York. A retreaj for the weary whose brains need a rest Bears the dignified title of “Quiet Craig Crest,” Its founder is Carolyn, the place well repays All of her labors in past High School days. John Symons writes jokes for the Ladies’ Home Journal Which date their existence to time long eternal. Cecil Baskins has charge of the football at Yale; And in winning the victory lie’s not apt to fail. Charlie McLeod many lectures is giving On “How to get on and not work for your living.” As speaker in Congress Clifford Vorwerck is found, When it's time for his speeches you hear not a sound; The reason for silence is easy to see, Because all the members have started to flee. Judge Braun now enforces the new curfew law, But for his threats of vengeance we care not a straw. The Harris Hotel, for old maidens only, Is a fine place to hoard if you ever feel lonely. One of the “hits” in a vaudeville show, Which in every playhouse is now quite the go, Are “Four Giggling Girlies,” all from this class, Kerns, Grow and Crawford, and also Miss Haas. And here as top-liner, I’m given to know, Heagany’s blarney is helping him so; In High School he didn’t just care to act, But now lie’s a “seller,” that sure is a fact. Rudolph List is at home in fair Frankenmuth, Where he has charge of the village poll booth. To wise Anton Kaufmann, whose tongue ne’er stood still Has been given a mission that’s right hard to fill, He’s been appointed to try hard to bust Every firm in this country that’s known as a trust. We wish him good luck in his new field of calling. But think that his task will prove quite appalling; For the chewing gum factories owned by Miss Zwerk Will he quite unwilling to give up their work. Far off in Harvard, in a professor’s chair, As a doctor of English Walt Burdick is there. The bravest conductor on the Flint street car line Is courageous Roy Phoenix, who gets there on time. Following the races, and losing his bet. At this sort of business Lin Keeler’s a vet. Edward Davis is running a new barber shop With a corps of assistants who’re known to talk not. Marion Grandy is known as a charming housewife, But I hear that her cooking will shorten your life. Leon Cunningham, in running life’s race, Was awarded the honor of Dave Warfield’s place. Tho not in the role of “The Music Master,” His title being, “Count Maiden Heart Smasher.” Ed. Priess manufacturers with freedom and ease Hundreds of locks for the Florida Keys. Revolts lately ended on .Mexico’s border Were crushed by Tracy, with “Robert’s Order. The employment bureau for athletic boys Is managed by Elberts, who surely enjoys The honor of having positions to give, For without this pleasure, how could Ernie live? A champion gold player, Leona shall hold Medals of leather, silver and gold. “To Germany next,” I, elated, then cried. And soon o’er the waters my carpet had hied, Where that country’s navy, surely a fighter. Is being commanded by Captain Harold Reitter. The rage of all Berlin, with the greatest success, Karla Bierlc’s “Iphigenia” shows her talent the best. Taeger and Iloerner fine cookery are teaching, Their dainties are great till it comes to the eating. Geometry taught in the Teutonic tongue By bright Gladys Roeser this work is now done. The largest factory where sugar is made, Managed by Winston, puts all in the shade; No other person with him dare compete, For success in this business he cannot be beat. Minna Kaufmann’s a palmist who fortunes can tell, But I’m really uncertain if she predicts well. A new magazine that is worth quite a bit Is now being published by lucky John Schmidt; The name of this wonder is, “How to Keep Young,” And all thru the country its praises are sung. Elsie Koch is now teaching a deaf and dumb school Where to talk is considered as breaking the rule. Mueller and Volz in the Hartz mountains dwell. Raising canaries their incomes to swell. Ed. Trienklein is known as instructor in dancing. And I hear that his methods are really entrancing. The cliffs of fair England, so shining and white, Were the next on my travels that came into sight. Here Bondy Bliss perfected a magic invention Which has a name that I really can’t mention. It’s positively known excuses to make Every time that a pupil is absent or late. Clay Mulholland now argues with Britain’s new king In the hopes that the “Home Rule’’ to Ireland he’ll bring. The Patterson History is granted to sell, It shows all the conflicts that England did quell. Jessie Stacey has journeyed to Scotland’s fair heather, fl.U. Where all its clans she is bringing together, Reviving traditions of the olden days Before the union with England’s strange ways. A new kind of circus, invented by Spence, Is placing all others, I hear, on the fence. No captive creatures in this show are known, But these parts are taken by mortals alone. Stanick’s a clown that can make people laugh, And Youmans parades as a towering giraffe. Frank Stockwell good manners on this island teaches, Which put you at ease with society’s speeches. Thru Erin’s soft breezes a new airship line Is being constructed by Raymond O’Brien. Here lives Esther Kelly in spinster’s style, But she hopes to be wedded in a little while. In Italy’s fair villas Harold Forsythe’s violin By sweet serenades tries fair ladies to win; Some of his ballads Miss Westhoff has written, But to these deep raptures no one will listen. Ruth Perry writes poems on the joys of Caesar, But can’t scan her verses, and this does not please her. The new Russian ballet which plays for the Czar Claims Helen Oppermann as its leading star. The Wienke track team in the land of the Poles Would be a success if they didn’t catch colds; When they run o’er the snow their faces turn blue, And this kind of sprinitng, of course, will not do. In this land of her birth, winsome Ruth Shea Holds high honors for playing bridge whist a new way. On far Greece's shores, in its channels of art, We find many statues, the work of Sue Parth. The Pinkerton agency of detective forces lias stretched to Arabia its magic courses. A new dime museum on Africa’s shores Erected by Oakley, the world’s treasures stores In vaults that are guarded by Tibbits and Wrege Who all intruders are apt to besiege. Kalzow and Herman own a submarine Which runs ’neath the waters of all seas serene. ’Neath France’s blue skies lives Grace Duryea Who writes new French novels her room rent to pay. Here running the Grand Trunk, Engineer Nauer Is breaking all records at six miles per hour. And fair Frances Brady who stands quite alone For escaping trouble when her pranks were shown, Now runs an office, which has for a sign, “Miss Brady’s Methods will Work Every Time.” Hats that are ne’er known to obstruct your view If in the opera one gets by you, Are here sold quite widely by Whatley and Whyte Who made half a million at this new delight. As a picture show model Franz Otto does pose, And queer are the antics his pictures disclose. The Rahal Beauty Parlors and Hair Dressing Hall Are places of interest which satisfy all. And as for Elaine, of the lovable mind, So varied her interests, its quite hard to find A map of her future, but something says low, “All is successful where’er she shall go.” As a preacher in Siam Veyne Chandler is trying To earn enough pennies to keep him from dying. Over in Belgium, Frank Hannon I see Was rather puzzled on what just to be, First he invented a way to remember That High School would open in balmy September, For, as a student, he so loved to be going That he believed that all pupils his interest were show But this proved a failure, so he opened then A bureau of marriage, where, for dollars ten, One was rewarded with husband or wife And granted to get on without any strife; But now he is found in the rising young clergy, And really decided without any urging. Maude Fischer revived the old-fashioned hoop skirt So we board the street cars without getting hurt. Laura Feahr has produced, after long hours of strain, Umbrellas which walk by themselves in the rain To the place where you're staying, you cannot get wet. And for this new blessing we're all thankful yet. Of course, when the suffragettes their power unfold They’ll work many wonders which cannot be told. Remaking China on the “Women's Vote” plan Demure Lucy Brooks has now quailed every man. Miss GemmilPs assistance, wdiich sure is surprising, Shows that the nation need fear no uprising.

Winter is a long, dreary and commonplace time—just so was our Freshman year, seemingly without an end. There was no cessation from the weary tasks we had undertaken so blythly and eagerly. Some of us were filled with the proverbial “freshness” belonging to Freshmen and were startlingly green and verdant. But the most of us were heavily oppressed by a sense of our unfitness, by the power of the Sophs, the brilliancy of the. Juniors and the all-embracing knokledge of the Seniors. It was not until the beginning of the second semester that our power of action which had long lain dormant aroused itself sufficiently and we elected our officers who were as follows: President—Ray Ileagany. Vice-President—Lucy Brooks. Secretary—Clarence Henning. Treasurer—Mildred Harris. Our colors were chosen to be the glorious gold and dark blue. After that we lapsed into our former lethargy until the end of the year when we again bestirred ourselves and presented the school with a picture of one of the greatest statesmen of our country, Abraham Lincoln whose centenary was celebrated that year. This picture now hangs on the manual training building commemorating the close of our Freshman year which like his life had been so full of trials aud tribula- tions. After a long, dull, cheerless winter comes spring, the awakening time when blossoms burst forth in a day and birds fly north from their winter homes. So from our dull inactivity and stupid lethargy as Freshmen, we awoke in the mellow sunlight of our Sophomore year. Our contact with the upper classmen during the past year had RAY HEAGANY hastened our intellectual as well as social development. Following their example we held a class meeting, earlier in the year than before, with this result; President—George Bliss. Vice-President—Karla Bierle. Secretary—Walter Spouse. Treasurer—Elaine Herbert. Having accomplished the organization of the class, our promise of later activity was shown in our Sophomore spread. At first we had been represented in the parties given by the upper classmen by only a few delegates but the number of these had been increasing continually. GEORGE BLISS Although the very idea of mere Sophomores giving a party was ridi- culed, we had our most delightful spread and established a precedent which the succeeding classes have joyfully followed. Summer, with its glories of blossoms and wealth of ripening fruits is a joyous time.In many respects our Junior year was'like the brilliancy of summer. We have passed through the season of budding and we’re in full bloom. Early in the fall a class meeting was called at which the following officers were elected; J. RUDOLPH LIST President—Rudolph List. Vice-President—Leona Buck. Secretary—Hugo Braun. Treasurer— Augusta Sommer. In tile early part of December the Junior appointments were an- nounced. Owing to our enforced six weeks vacation in the fall, it was thought advisable to have no Junior Ex., as had been the custom. Consequently the ten appointees were relieved of their arduous duties connected with this event. Although there was no public exhibition of the ability of the appointees, the class as a whole was as proud of them as any previous had been. WILBER M. BRUCKER Following the time-honored custom of other classes we gave our Junior Hop, which surpassed all preceding efforts of its kind in every respect. The Friday before the Christinas vacation was the day hon- ored by our choice. As a result of this momentous event our spirits were very high but our treasury, greatly depleted. In order to improve our financial condition, preparations were made for the Junior Minstrel Show which was given at the Germania in May. This was a unique affair and was presented before a large and enthusiastic audience. As the end of the school year drew near our social activities in- creased greatly. The usual custom of entertaining the Seniors was remembered and it was decided to give a dancing party and dinner at Riverside which proved most delightful to all. When the Seniors were set adrift at graduation vve were given tickets to sc the impressive cere- mony. Thus the year ended and although it was filled to overflowing with many enjoyable occasions, every one looked forward to the coming of autumn and our glorious career as Seniors. Autumn, the most wonderful, productive, golden season of the year, follows closely after joyous summer. Now is the harvest time when the fruits of the spring and summer are gathered and the sower of the seed reaps his reward. In our senior year we gathered the harvest of our monotonous study and unceasing work. We were regarded with awe and curiosity by the Freshmen and Sophs, who wondered greatly as we had done, whether they would ever attain the high and honorable position of dignity and respect accorded the sober Senors. We had worked and waited patiently and now we were at the zenith of our career. Early in our Senior year, under the guidance of our beloved prin- cipal, Mr. W. W. Warner, we established a precedent—our chief aim as a class—which we hope will be followed by succeeding classes. This was the Senior-Freshmen conferences, at the first of which each Senior met three or four Freshmen. These were our proteges for the year and it was our duty to cheer them up after the first six weeks' marks—that most discouraging period of the whole four years—and to help them in every possible way. As soon as possible we held a class meeting and elected the following officers: President—Wilber Brucker. Vice-President—Inez Jones. Secretary—Ben Fesler. Treasurer—Florence Veitengruber. At the beginning of our social career we gave a Senior dance which was a great success from a financial standpoint. Early in the second semester a committee was appointed to select a play and its cast. “A Count of No Account,” from the skillful pen of our honored classmate, Leon Cunningham, was selected. I bis is a brief account of our career as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. We shall always look back with tender memories to these four years spent in dear old Saginaw High. ELAINE M. HERBERT. CLASS WILL The last sad rites and ceremonies in honor of the deceased class of 1912 had been duly performed and now the appointed hour for read- iiiLi that sacred document, its will, had arrived. 1 he various members of the family were striving to suppress their restless anxiety and eager- ness, when the sonorous clang of the large brass knocker announced that austere personage, whose duty it was to make known to them their share in the estate of the deceased class. As soon as the lawyer was seated in the drawing-room, each member of the family slowly filed in. First came the faculty, with stately mien and downcast eyes, perhaps wondering what their fond protege had bequeathed to them. Then entered the haughty Juniors, eagerly hoping to receive more than their share. The Sophomores now followed with sad and tear-stained eyes, bespeaking the grief they sincerely felt over the departure of their indulgent brothers and sisters. The young and innocent looking Fresh- men came in last, filled with curiosity and unable to comprehend the meaning of this solemn assemblage. After all were seated a hushed silence fell over the company, while the impressiveness of the occasion so over-powered the mind of the lawyer that, tor a moment, he was unable to proceed. At length, having regained his composure, he solemnly produced the document and, with a firm and steady hand, broke the seal. Slowly unfolding it, he glanced for a moment over the eager and tear-stained faces, then, having cleared his throat, he began: “Hearken ye, one and all, to the last will and testament of the class of 1912. ‘We, the Class of 1912, of the Saginaw High School, of the City of Saginaw, of the County of Saginaw, of the State of Michi- gan, being aware of the uncertainty of life and of failing mind, being now of sound mind and memory, do make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills made by us, in the manner following, to wit: FIRST: We direct and declare that after our exit from this world of learning, our funeral services be conducted in a proper manner, honoring and befitting our high scholarship and the esteem in which our class is held. SECOND: We direct and declare that all our just debts be paid in full. THIRD: We give, devote, and bequeath our lawful property, of which we now stand in full possession, in the manner following, to wit: Item First: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the faculty of said school the following, viz: First: Our profoundest thanks for their earnest efforts in our be- half, and for all benefits received thru their untiring labors. Second: Our humblest prayer that all our past sins be forgiven and forever blotted from their memonry. Third: A careful watch over the streets of our “School City.” This is a great responsibility and is given them only after due thought and consideration. The section lying near the senior session room is one to be well guarded, as many “citizens” are fond of using this by- way as a place of rendezvous. This, however, must be prevented, as it leads to great congestion therein. Fourth: All the l’’s and W’s which we have received during our sojourn in the Temple of Knowledge, that they may be enjoyed by future generations. May they be used sparingly, however, as they are few and far between. Note.—It has been suggested that other marks, such as E and G be considered under the above, but as there is so large a majority of these that we fear they would prove cumbersome to the honorable faculty. Item Second: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the student body of said School the untold pleasure of semester examinations, of which we had been deprived with the exception of this year. Item Third: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the person pos- sessing the most agility and cunning, our Class Banner. Item Fourth: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the Juniors, Class of 1913, the following, viz: First: All our “forlorn and shipwrecked’’ brothers and sisters who have “fallen by the wayside,” to be treated carefully that they may be enabled within another year to reach that long desired goal. Second: The worthy dignity which we have so fitly carried during this our last year in this beloved institution of learning. (It is with sorrowful hearts and heaving breasts that we shall part from it.) Third: Our ribbon-bedecked horn; and may it toot them on to final victory as it has ever done for their countless predecessors. Fourth: The dear old session room, a witness of many scenes. May they appreciate and joyfully welcome their entrance into this their last home; and after it has sheltered them, and patiently listened to their broils, may its old portal be fondly, yet sadly, left by them as they pass on to fulfil individually their mission in the great world which we are about to enter. Fifth: The profound responsibility of publishing an “Aurora,” as to surpass that of 1912, but that will be perfectly evident to all. Item Fifth: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the Sophomores, Class of 1914, and all succeeding Sophomore classes of said School, the “Sophomore Spread,” your debut into society. Please remember that we were the originators of that pleasing tradition, and do not fail loyally to perpetuate it. Item Sixth: We give, devote, and bequeath unto the Freshmen, Class of 1915, and all succeeding Freshmen classes of said School, the Senior-Freshmen conferences. May these prove to be helpful and com- forting to them as they meet their many discouragements. Item Seventh: We do hereby nominate and appoint our beloved principal, who, with a cheery smile, encouraging words and wise and ever-ready counsel, has so diligently piloted our wandering bark thru the great sea of knowledge, as sole executor of this our last will and testament, whose duty it shall be to advise with our younger brothers and sisters in regard to the duties herein imposed upon them and help them that they may keep their erring footsteps in the “straight and narrow way;” also, to see that this, our last will and testament, be properly carried into effect. The above instrument was signed, sealed, published, and declared by said class of 1912, as their last will and testament in the presence of us, who have hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses at the request of and in the presence of the testator and in the presence of each other. Dated on this fifteenth day of March, nineteen hundred twelve. As the voice of the speaker died away a restless stir was made by the younger members of the family, who were too young to understand fully the meaning of the lawyer’s words. The others, however, with perhaps the exception of the greedy Juniors, murmured their satisfac- tion and approval as they slowly left the room. (Signed) CLASS OF 1912. RUTH PERRY, WILBER BRUCKER, Witnesses. SCENE FROM A COUNT OF NO ACCOUNT” Class Play To chronicle the attempts of our class behind the footlights is indeed a pleasure. Great in athletics, renowned in journalism, and distinguished in oratory, are some of the most important features of the class of 1912, but our most successful accomplishment has been our plays. On the evening of May 12, 1911, we first presented ourselves before the public and our fellow-students. Our entertainment took the form of a minstrel show, but because we chose to act in disguise, do not think for an instant that we were not confident in what we had to offer. For weeks we had tried to get “our line.’’ Things did not look propitious and it was less than a week before our night that we really got started. 1 hen we did buckle down to work. Every night found our representa- tives faithfully repeating their “jokes” and singing their songs. At last “it” came. Much was the excitement behind the curtain as the crowd began to assemble. Finally the curtain rose and the “darkies” faced a large, expectant audience. The opening chorus was really wonderful. The costumes and stage setting were indeed artistic. The solo work that evening could not have been better. Earl Wagner, hitherto an unseen light in the musical world, made a splendid success of “Fire- light Faces,” a really pathetic piece, being the plaint of an absent lover. A song and dance was exceedingly well done by Harold Forsyth, ac- companied by the end men. Clifford Vorwerck showed up very well in singing “Tell Me will my Dreams Come True.” But the real hit of the whole program was made by Mildred Harris and Leon Cunning- ham in a song and dance. They were accompanied by about a dozen of our numerous pretty girl classmates and all did splendidly. The end men were Harold Forsyth, F. Otto, L. Merrill and Fred Gallagher, with Ithamar Tracy as interlocutor. The names of the chorus are, Messrs. H. Braun, Chandler, Cunningham, Forsyth, Gallagher, Lee, List, Lum, Merrill, Ostler, Otto, Spence, Tracy, Vorwerck, Wagner, and Winston. Also Misses Beierle, Fischer, Grandy, Harris, Herbert, Hunter, Jones, Koch, Oppermann, Payne, Perry, Shea, Westhoff, Whatley, and Zvverk. Financially, socially, and in every respect the entertainment was .a huge success and gave promise of an even more successful Senior play. • In entering upon a resume of our Senior Play the writer is re- minded of the following quotation from Shakespeare: “If it is true that good wine needs no brush, Then 'tis true that a good play needs no epilogue.” Truly it was a wonderful production, in fact, our Senior Play was unique for this reason, that the author of the entire play was one of our own classmates, Leon Cunningham. The writer recalls but one instance where such has happened before, and therefore we, as a class, should fully appreciate the distinction this one thing will give us. “The Count of No Account was an exceedingly clever farce having to do with mistaken identities and the episodes befalling two young couples. The action of the play takes place in New York. Edith Harrison is an orphan living with her Aunt Caroline Harrison, an ardent suf- fragist. Aunt Caroline is attended by Mary, whose uncouth manners are most amusing and at times embarrassing. Edith is engaged to Harry Haddon, a very jealous lover. Unexpectedly, the Harrison apart- ment is made a visit by Mr. Montgomery, Edith’s uncle. He is in search of any information as to the whereabouts of his wayward son Jack, a young spendthrift, spoiled by a too plentiful supply of spending money. Aunt Caroline, true to her suffragette principles, immediately gives Mr. Montgomery her opinion of Jack’s home training and voices her opinions and ideas as to how young men should be brought up. They are interrupted by the arrival of Count Valiere, a proud Frenchman whom Aunt Caroline has hired to give daily instruction in French to Edith, much to her dislike and disgust. Being left alone, the Count hurries through the lesson and departs. Hardly had he left when shots are heard from the street below and almost immediately afterward the window to the fire-escape is thrown open and Jack Montgomery jumps into the room. Naturally this sudden meeting dazes both Edith and Jack and he hurriedly explains that a gambling house in which he had been playing had just been raided and lie wanted some place to hide. Just then someone is heard approaching and shoving Jack behind a screen, Edith is left to entertain a robust policeman who, quite proud of his shining badge, struts in boldly and confidently, making the asser- tion that he had seen “his man’’ come in that very room, in fact he “could tell im by the red tic ’e wore. After a minute of unrewarded search he leaves, firmly convinced that he has done his “dooty” as an officer of the law. Thinking her room a safer place to hide than the screen, Edith sends Jack in there to await a chance to escape. While Edith is wondering how to get Jack away from there another vexing situation created itself. Harry had taken a notion to come up that night and to surprise Edith he had climbed the fire-escape and now innocently entered. Edith was now surely taken back, but when she gave a more decided look at I larry she was horror-stricken. Where had he got that tie? It was red, flashing red. What could she do? The house was now surrounded by policemen. She simply must lodge him that night, but how could she? While she was thinking, Harry had discovered the hat left by Jack on the desk. Instantly his jealous passions were aroused, and upon being told it was the Count’s he was even more in- flamed and vowed he would have vengeance at the first opportunity. Edith had concluded that both Ilarry and Jack would have to remain there over night and hearing someone in the other room Edith demands Harry’s .purse and obtaining it she leads the wondering 1 larry behind the screen telling him that that was to be his bed for the night. Just then Mary enters with Elizabeth Werner a very dear friend of Edith’s. Seeing that she is to have yet another one to lodge for the night Edith gives Mary all of Harry's money on the one condition that she will go any place, just so that she will not stay there. Mary dumbfounded at such an outburst of generosity goes and Edith and Elizabeth are left clasped in each others arms. The next scene is the apartment the morning after. Mary is seen on the Davenport, talking incoherently in her sleep. Suddenly a deep soul-satisfying snore is heard in the direction of the screen, and Mary startles and makes a hurried rush to the door and then out. A commo- SCENE FROM “A COUNT OF NO ACCOUNT” tion is now heard from behind the screen and soon Harry is seen pain- fully crawling out of his “bed,” stiff, lame, sore, tired, aching all over, and hungry. He staggers to his feet muttering something about what ought to be done with people who talk in their sleep. After several comments upon the situation he replaces the rug that had served as his mattress and puts on his rumpled coat, wondering what he will do next. At this juncture Mary walks in with a tray of toast, coffee and rolls for Aunt Caroline. To see from over the top of the screen such appetizing things pass “before his very nose” so to speak only aggravates his hunger, and when Mary lays the tray on the desk while she goes to view the slumbering policemen without, Harry takes his chance and grabs what he can. Upon the discovery of the disappearance of Aunt Caroline’s breakfast, Mary leaves cjuite bewildered indeed. After this incident, Edith comes to see how Harry rested and is exhorted by Harry to bring him some breakfast as he is almost starved. She goes out and returns with a doughnut and an onion, only to encounter Aunt Caroline and Elizabeth. Taking a desperate chance at discovery she throws Harry’s “breakfast” over the screen. In about a minute un- mistakable odors of onions began to float about the room, which drive both Aunt Caroline and Elizabeth out of the room. Edith now sent Harry into her room as the screen was getting to be a rather unsafe hiding place. Hardly had he left when Jack disgustedly enters, stating in very decided terms that he would not stay in that stuffy room of Mary’s another minute. They discuss plans of escape, when Count Valiere’s ring is heard. Jack gets an inspiration, and running behind the screen waits for the Count, who now comes in. As the Count is re- moving his hat and gloves, Jack leaps behind him and orders him to take off his coat and tie, after which he gags and binds him, throwing him, none too lightly for French nobility, behind the screen. Now to get away. He quickly puts on the Count’s coat and tie, thinking to get away before anyone interrupts them, but trouble is ahead. Elizabeth and Aunt Caroline return at this unpropitious moment and Jack sees that it is up to him to play the “Count.” Quite amusing are his feigned French manners and conversation and Aunt Caroline is getting sus- picious, when Edith at last succeeds in getting her to leave the room with her, thus leaving Elizabeth and Jack alone. What an opportunity, thinks Jack, and he succeeds in getting Elizabeth to consent to an attempt to elope. Elizabeth writes the following n'ote and places it on the desk: “Have eloped with the Count. Will explain all at 55, 101st street. Yours, E.” They then hurry away. The Count by this time has succeeded in freeing himself, and his wounded dignity bursts forth in an unrelenting tirade against the treatment accorded him. But his greatest concern is the recovery of his coat. “Zie coat! Zie papers! My coat; I want zie coat.” lie leaves, and Harry returns, and upon seeing the note Upon the desk he reads it. lie immediately takes the signature “E.” to stand for Edith and. to think that she has eloped with that hate- ful Count is almost too much. So grabbing his hat he departs for 55, 101st street. After he had gone, Aunt Caroline comes in with Mr. Montgomery, who informs her that Count Valiere had been arrested. [He had Jack’s red tie on, which accounts for his detention by the po- lice.] The news of such degrading misfortune coming to her beloved and admired Count completely overcomes Aunt Caroline and she falls, dazed, upon the Davenport. The curtain for the third act rises on apartment 20 at 55, 101st street. The janitor, “horn for a gentleman,” and very sick of his job, discovers, as he pulls a trunk into Jack’s room, the house jacket of young Montgomery on a settee in the corner. Thinking that this is a good opportunity to test the first sensation of a “gintleman’s” life, he tries it on. It is a perfect fit, and before he can remove it, Edith’s maid, Mary, enters. Mary had never seen Jack, therefore what other conclu- sion could she draw than that this likely “feller” in such a swell house- jacket should be Montgomery himself. The janitor also saw the world in the same way Mary did, so it was but natural that he should have the most profound respect for her when she informs him that her “paw” has a two hundred acre farm in Vermont. Mary’s aristocratic mind could never consent to a plain marriage so they plan to “e-lope.” They finally decide on the plan that the bride should be at the elevator in about half an hour and there meet the groom. They then happily with- draw from the room anticipating a most glorious future. Next the Count appears, precisely as he left the Harrison apartments, but heated to an anxiety amounting to almost frenzy about his coat and those “valuable papers.” Purely by chance, Harry, swearing his vengeance on the luckless, innocent Count, comes in armed to the teeth with swords, daggers, and revolvers. Harry proposes a duel right there and then to the scared and speechless Count, and both rave up and down the room, the one bent on satisfying his jealous heart, the other trying to explain. This little scene ends when Harry discovers that his revolvet- is empty and he finds himself in an unenvied position in proposing a duel with swords to a natural born Frenchman. In the lull, however, the Count disappears. Before seeing the Count, Harry had ordered the janitor to throw him down the stairs, backing up his argument with a little pecuniary argument. Now a great banging, bumping noise was heard below and Harry realizes its meaning. The poor Count! Harry exits to prevent more damage. Jack and Elizabeth, having been turned down at the parsonage, come in, and Elizabeth says the game is up for her until they can go out and really come back married. At this point, Mr. Montgomery comes in followed by Mary, who thinks that it was time enough to acquaint “her father-in-law” of her marriage with his son. How this strange looking creature could be his daughter was more than Mr. Montgomery could grasp for the moment. Later he is re- lieved b.y the entrance of Aunt Caroline and Edith. Harry then rushes in to the careworn Edith, and when reassured that all is right he feels himself again. Elizabeth and Jack are warmly greeted when they come in and things begin to look brighter all around. But the greatest of all surprises was yet to come. The peaceful company was now broken into by the tragic entrance of the Count. Tragic it wras indeed, for to fully determine the number of bruises on the Count’s face would be utterly impossible. The two main features which were visible were a black eye and a blood-stained handkerchief tied across his forehead. 11 is hair was in hopeless confusion and his linen was far from clean. The stringy red tie of Jack's was still tied about his neck. His coat! Yes, at last he had found his coat, and thinking the papers arc safe, he now endeavored to secure his “honor,” that being indeed the most important concern. What a relentless flow of broken English-French oratory issued from that infuriated Frenchman’s mouth! All the wrongs possible had been heaped upon his regal shoulders—he had suffered insults, the most aggravating of all having been his experience of being thrown down the stairs by “zie divil,” for such he took the red-headed Tim O’Flaherty the janitor to be. Me told with many gesticulations the way he had bumped down the stairs—first on his head, then on his back, and bump, bump, bump down the whole flight of the stairs.. Such a flow of in- vectives that issued from his battered lips could hardly be described, it was so amusing that all the company were convulsed with mirth, ex- cepting poor Aunt Caroline. She seemed almost on the verge of col- lapse. Jack, thinking to calm things a little, brought forth a piece of note-paper which he had taken from Count Valiere’s coat. It disclosed the fact that the said Count de la Valiere was not a Count at all, but only an educated valet who had used this assumed title in an effort to win a maiden with sufficient pecuniary means to insure him a safe berth on easy street. Caroline Harrison ’s trust in man and French “Counts” was surely shaken. She resolves to devote her entire time to the “cause.” Hearing the young people discussing their happy plans for the future she exclaims, “I am so sick of hearing about engagements and marrying that I could fairly pounce upon the next person who so much as mentions the subject.” Hardly had the words left her mouth when in walks Mary with her admiring husband, “Mr.” Tim O’Flaherty, carrying a suitcase on one arm with Mary in firm possession of the other. Both are in full matrimonial attire and their appearance causes even the angry Aunt Caroline to burst into laughter and to stare in amazement. Thus we last see them. The play was acted without a break and all did admirably. Mabel Whatley, as Edith Harrison, certainly deserves praise. Marion Payne, who took the difficult part of Aunt Caroline, did credit to her- self, and too much cannot be said commending her part in making the play a success. To Earl Wagner and Wilber Brucker we must give our greatest panegyric. Earl Wagner, as Jack, acted the part to perfection, and the same can be said of Wilber Brucker, who was Harry Haddon in the play. Elaine Herbert as Elizabeth Werner, and Louis Wienkc as Mr. Montgomery, did splendidly. The laughing material was furnished by Walter Burdick as Tim O’Flaherty, the janitor, Elsie Koch as Mary, and Frank Spencer as the policeman. Between the amusing incidents of these three throughout the play, the audience was in an uproar. Truly, in the words of Shakespeare, they made “a hit, a very palpable hit.” But to Leon Cunningham, who acted the difficult role of the Count Valiere, must go our greatest praise. In portraying the polite manners of French nobility, in following out the adventures of the Count, lie surely could not have improved. In future years we may look back with pride to the entertainments that have been given by our class and proudly say, “I was a member of that class, the class of 1912.” ITHAMAR TRACY. SCENE FROM A COUNT OF NO ACCOUNT’’ Class Poem TO OUR TEACHERS. In marble in the Hall of Fame Forever lives the sculptor’s name; The poet's song in future years Will pleasure bring or move to tears. But certain artists do I know Whose works of fame no book will show, Who have not wrought in clay and gold And yet do merit praise untold. The teachers molding faithfully Our characters from day to day. And leading us with loving thought, What wondrous changes they have wrought. Developed minds and ever taught That truth and honor must be sought, Assisted us in each day’s strife. Which seemed the problem of our life. And after all this toil so hard Should their’s not be some great reward, And is there nought that shall proclaim In years to come the teacher’s name?

Public Speaking—A Chance Meeting Twas on a bright sunny day in the year of 1932 when the steamer, Lilacia, stood in the harbor of New York. Many were the passen- gers burying aboard. There were children, women, and men, as well as young people. “Well, Wilber Brucker, I am certainly glad to find you here,” said on man to another, as the two suddenly came face to face on the deck. “I do declare. Harold Forsythe,—am I dreaming? Having just met with four other members of my high-school class, while wander- ing around the ship, now I come upon you. What a pleasant sur- prise !” came the wondering answer, and they both joined hands in a hearty handshake. “Four other members of our class? May I ask who they are?” eagerly inquired the former. “Certainly, certainly, I will be glad to tell you. They are Misses Helen Oppermann, Blanche Kerns and Ruth Perry, also Leon Cun- ningham. We'll just have to get together and talk over old times,” was the quick reply. So ere long on board the ship, there was a little company, composed of six merry people, gayly talking over happy lngh-school days. “Yes, Helen and I are bound for a tour through Italy and Greece to study art,” said Miss Ruth, when the question was asked her. “‘Tis the thoughts of music that are leading me; and I suppose it isj the p[ay that lures you abroad, Mr. Cunningham?” added Miss Blanche. “Yes, you are right; and what a chance meeting this was !” .re- sponded the person addressed. They discussed athletics, music and art. They talked over the present , future, and especially the past. They recalled those happy days in old Saginaw I ligh, their Senior Play, Commencement Day Exercises, and so on, until finally their conversation centered upon public-speaking. “Of course you like your practice of law, Mr. Brucker?” was the general question. “I do, indeed, began Mr. Brucker, “But do you know that never until late years have 1 come to fully realize the value of our dear, old high-school's rhetorical sections. Truly it was there that I first received practice in public-speaking; and I am sure it was there that the founda- tion of my career was laid. Oh, how I used to grumble and growl, when a freshman, about having to prepare a topic for rhetorics; and then, too, how at first I used to tremble when delivering the topic. However, after I joined the Lyceum, that good, old society where we had such lively debates, I became more interested. But really, even then I didn’t care for it as I ought.” “I heartily agree with you, Wilber. In my position as minister, I have come to this same conclusion;” spoke up Mr. Harold Forsythe, “I had the same failing as you, when a freshman and, if I remember rightly, also when a sophomore. Yes, and by the smiles on our friends’ faces, I think they were afflicted in a similar manner. Nevertheless, in our senior section we had some lively talks, although just now I cannot recall the topics. However, we all know that ‘practice makes perfect;’ and that’s what we received in our rhetorical sections.” “Isn't it odd?” put in Mr. Leon Cunningham, “As an actor, I, too, have found that I owe much to my high-school for having rhetorical sections. My first idea of being an actor came from having to recite in rhetorics. I was just thinking of one day in the Tenth Legion,—you must remember, Miss Kerns,— when we had a special program. Let me see,—were we juniors or seniors? Anyhow, two boys gave a dia- logue. One was supposed to be a lazy, school chap who fell asleep, complaining over his Ceasar lesson. The other boy, (draped in a white sheet), took the part of Saesar’s ghost, and chided the lad, revealing some true facts about quitters, and influencing the boy not to drop his Latin.” “Yes, I certainly do remember visiting the Tenth Legion and en- joyed it immensely. I think we were seniors then; yes, I am sure of it. I recall, too, my having a good laugh when Ceasar’s ghost almost tripped on his long, white gown. Then furthermore, although I do not now practice public-speaking, yet I’ll never forget how much good entering that oratorical contest did me,” replied Miss Blanche. “In the G. C. L. S. I used to so enjoy listening to the girls, especially when they talked on Shakespeare’s plays,” she concluded. “This subject interests me, too,” joined in Miss Helen. “Well do I remember how fine you gave that oration, Blanche; what was it about now? It has slipped my mind during these years, but I can recall how well pleased we all were.” “It was on Child-labor in America,” responded Miss Blanche. “Oh, I do remember now. And we musn't forget the grand show- ing our junior debating team made at Detroit. In the Thencean, where we had such stories as ‘Tfcte Silver Arrow,’ and ‘The Stolen Fra An- gelica,’ I think most of our members appreciated rhetorics.” continued Miss Helen, “Let us have your opinion, Ruth.” “Of course, as a member of the American Literary Society, I was quite fond of my public-speaking section. We had such topics as “The Revolution in China.” and “A Fire in a Sky-Scraper,” which were both interesting and instructive. Rhetorical sections are surely a benefit and ought to be encouraged in every high-school. I know of one school which does not have them, namely Bay City Eastern; and I think it is a shame,” was the response, and a—” “What was that little toast to rhetorics which I remember hear- ing?” broke in Mr. Forsythe, “I think you were the composer. Miss Kerns. Let me see ! Was it at a G. C. L. S. spread that you gave it?” “You are right,” replied Miss Blanche, “I wonder if my memory is as good as yours. I think it went something like this: Here’s to public-speaking, that grand, old art. Which we all do love so well, Here’s to rhetorics, so dear to each heart, It’s great pleasure we e’er shall tell. Here’s to our good, old G. C. L. S., girls, Of which we all are proud; Here’s to our rhetorical-section, girls, Let's sing its praises loud ! ” At this moment the excitement round about increased, as the ship slowly pushed off. So the little company broke up for the present, anticipating many more pleasant visits during the voyage. E. META GROW. {Jssay Generosity Ye classmates who would contentment seek, let generosity lead you to the road to happiness. And generosity,—what is generosity? Not merely the giving, but the spirit of giving; not what we give but how we give it. A willing hand, a cheerful smile, one word of comfort— these constitute true generosity. Indeed, there are some who give out of a sense of duty, or still even more, who give for the sake of obtaining something in return. Their hearts are not touched. With them, it is a mere matter of fact. But such is not generosity. That should spring from the heart. The spirit should be prompted from within one’s self. Unless the deed is a willing one, it is not a generous one. But to those who insist on the repaying of the gift, I suggest that they smile in the mirror of the world,—and it will repay you. A selfish heart has no sunshine in it, truly, it is “like a frozen waterfall.” Nothing in this world is obtained without effort, and so with hap- piness. If the game is “worth the candle,” it surely is worth working for. Self sacrifice is the key-note to real felicity. There is always more pleasure in giving than in receiving. When you receive something in return it takes away that feeling that you have done some good for someone. Those of you who have never realized the two-fold reward of some kind deed, have never realized true happiness. You have made yourself happy as well as your friend. Those who make a sad heart rejoice, who comfort gray-haired mother, who even dry the tears of a small child, cannot be repaid by mere objects. Happiness is your re- ward ; the friend grateful to you is doubly worth such perishable mat- ters. The thought of having mended a broken heart is reward itself. The gift is a hundred times more appreciable, when given with an open heart. To receive such a gift, is much pleasure, but everyone resents an unwilling offer. Even a beggar loathes the coin thrown at him in scorn: “The beggar raised not the gold from the dust; Better to me the poor man’s crust, Better the blessing of the poor; Though I turn me empty from his door. That is no true alms which the hand can hold, He gives nothing but worthless gold, Who gives from a sense of duty, but he who gives but a slender mite, And gives to that which is out of sight. That thread of the all-sustaining Beauty, Which runs through all, and doth all unite, The hand cannot clasp the whole of its alms, The heart outstretches its eager palms, For a God goes with it and makes its store, To the soul that was starving in darkness before.’’ Is generosity essential? It is indispensable. Existence Is dull without it; generosity polishes life. We should all strive to accpiire that largeness of heart, that nobleness of the soul, that innate feeling of brotherly love, which makes a world of sunbeams for all who really live. A gift without a friendly spirit, is like a world without sunshine, for, “Not what we give, but what we share,— The gift without the giver is bare; Who gives himself with his alms, feeds three— Himself, his hungering neighbor, and me.” MABEL WHATLEY. ALL FOR A KING BY JOHN H. SCHMIDT. A burly son of Erin, lurched heavily past, singing lustily in a voice attuned to Hades' gutteral ntoanings. “Away down, away down, 'way down in Timbuctoo.” “Gott,” commenced Schultz, “does he call id singin’. Timbuctoo? ITenery ver ve efer in Timbuctoo?” “Chess, ver ve?” “Bah ! Dummkopf ! Var correspondents ve ver, vat? Down in Tripoli, ja? Himmel auf der desert ve get lost, und valk, und valk. und valk.

Zum Generalissimus it vas I vent, ja. “General, said I. “ve are var correspondents, var correspondents aus Pottsdam, ja.

Tinks you I haf forgot Alsace-Lorraine, ze Franco- Prusso var, eh? Compreenz? Jean, take ze Proosians to ze cala- boose.” I’otts tansend! I cried, “to der calaboose? you fliegenfresscr! Tinks you der Kaiser vill—vill—” “Jeau!’’ says he. Und beim Himmel zu der chail ve vent;—but— A Frau der vass—und a cook? Ach Henery. Besscr almost als mein Lena could she cook. But ach, choy like life iss but a shpan. In a veek his eggscellency trips chauntily to our cell. Henery was shleeping like an automobile mit der eggshaust vide open. “Monsieurs, begins Frenchie, “it ees var correspondents you are, yes? Plans and papers you haf not so?” “Correct, schnaileater,” answers I, “id iss not so.” “Ha! you refuse to surrender dem ees it? So, as spies and as a ne- cessity of peace you vill be shot so, Piflfo! Friday, yes. Adieu Mon- sieurs.” “Tod und Holle ! Shot! Gott! Bengel, der Kaiser—” “Iss in Potsdam, adieu.” Und he vas gone. “Ach Henery ! I cried, “Henery ! Henery ! II-e-n-e-r-y ! Shot! Ach Lena !” But dot lout! Bah ! For fife minutes he yawns und denn— “Vat iss id Schultz?” “Narr, shot ve are goin, to be, ja. Shot, shot, SHOT ! Ach Lena, Lena, mein Lena !” “Who by, ven?” he asks und I told him. “Der French, Friday, ach Lena, Lena, Lena ! Dein Mann musz sterben.” “So-o-o! shot?” he says. “Ja, Schultz, such iss life. A little choy, a little sorrow, und at der end—death—und maybe a few tears, ja. To- day iss Toosday, tomorro Friday, today der sun shines, tomorrow id rains, today id iss life und hope, tomorrow death; such iss der law. Vy comblain?” Efening fell. Die Frau brought us our supper in. Her eyes ver red, und she gulped down a sob as she set der tray on der floor. “Chealousy, chealousy,” murmured Henery as she left. (His eggs- cellence vas her husband.) “Komm, Schultz, eat, trink und be merry, for tomorrow ve croak.” But I sat lookin' at der moonlight, as it fritered dru der brison bars, und listened to der vaves as dey lapped der sandy shore. Ach. id iss tough to die in a strange land. Morning came and sunlight flooded der cell. Doors groaned on der hinges as dey shwung open, und dree vould be sholdiers mit one voice cried “Ready, Monsieurs, proceed Monsieurs,” und we pro- ceeded. Der Gencralissmus sat at hiss desk, und nervous, Gott, he shook like a tea-kettle on a red -hot stofe. “Ver are ze rest?” he gasped like a stranded fish. De sholders shaluted. “Drunk, Monsieur,” “Mon Dicu, drunk?” I nudged Henery. “Four froggies against two Germans, vat? How’s der odds suit you, ja.-” “I’m on, Schultz.” Heiliges Rimbam, der Kilkenny cat affair vas a flyshpeck on der moon gompared to der fight vat followed. His highness vent oud und down mit a bullet dru his solar-plexus und die udders, Ilimmel, dey like Bryan are runnin' yet.

An oleogarchy ve vill establish, ja?” Na, nu, Schultz, vat goot iss an oleo factory?,No combedition in der butter line iss der? “Ach nein, nein, NEIN. I mean ve shall bod be kinks.” “Ach das is viel besser. Und ve ver. Ach, Maria, how we lifed. Ale on Monday, schnapps on Toosday, beer on Wednesday, vine on Tursday, gin on Friday, all of dem on Saturday, und lemon juice on Sunday. Und denn der cookin, ach Lena, Lena, wenn du deinen Mann gesehen flattest! But dere are ends to all eardly bliss. One day der sun vas obskured by a cloud of sand dot came nearer und nearer. “Dot iss vat?” I kwestioned a Frenchie vat had been down und out und so eggskaped der slaughter. Zat, Monsieur, lie said, ees der natives come to do ze new kink honor.” I eggsblained to Henery. “So-o,” he said, und mit two “Peruna” boxes und chairs he made two thrones, “ve shall receif dem in full majestat.” Der caravan advanced und halted about a hundred feet away. “Veil, vat’s der matter?” asked Henery. “Dond know which of ze Monsieurs is kink,” suggested Frenchie. “So,” said Henery. Ve vaited. Minutes shlipped by. Suddenly dey shook der shpears, yelled und charged. A dutzen grabbed me, a dozen Henery und der,—ach Himtnel, I don'd no. Later, ven I came to, I was being on a bed of shkins mit a bunch of niggers shtandin' round. Ach, how dey yelled, und it vas like a sea roarin' in mein ears. A veek I lay dere, but Himmel a Deutcher vas tough, ja, vat? Spater Frenchie told me all vat happened had. “Some of ze Ethiopians vished you for kink, Monsieur, and ze rest vished Henery. And by ze fight zay vished to settle ze difficulty, yes. You vaz licked and Henery is now kink. So it stands, Monsieur, yet.” “So I vass defeated iss id?” I asked. “Oui, Monsieur, but ve have ze best men Schultz, only luck showed us his coat-tails.” “So-o, I vill tink about der situation,” said I. Six years id vas dot I served in der Kaiser’s army, und in der days dot folowed dot little fracas mit der Timbuctooans, I drilled mein subjects till (ley had, if I do say id meinself, poys, reached der acme of berfection. Henery und I met often down by der vater’s edge, veil der moon each vave und ripple mit a golden sheen vould crown. Ach, der vas no help, var it had to be. Ja, Lena, in mein dreams I saw a ship fly shwift agross der sea, und in der prow der shtood her hair tossed free— Ach du war s, Lena du war’s. Mit shwift shtrides der day of der battle dawned. Und ven ve met like two gread vaves it vas, ja, like two gread vaves. Und the natives yelled in dere shields, und id vas like der roar of der surf, ven a storm iss near und der clouds shwift travel agross der heavens. Gott. at efery charge a hundret men vent down und slit ill dey fought. Hack ve forced Henery'’s troops into a long stretch of land, ver der tiger grass grew far abof our heads. Den, suddenly, a rustling it vas heard, und beim Him- mel, two gread tigers leaped in amongst der sholdiers. Like der virnls dot der leaves in autumn scatter, so did der. tigers dem sholdiers. Und a minute later ven I lookeed out from behind a halm tree, der field vas empty as der front seats in a church. Demi sum vun conies softly up behind, und shlapps me on der shmall of der pack und hollers. “Schultz!” “Henery,” I said, “wir sind wieder beisammen.” Und den der vas an awful grasli, und a cannon ball came rushing ofer our heads. “Bray, Henery, bray!” I cried. “Ich bin klein—’ “Schultz, Schultz, see—see—der flag.” und down der shore ran Henery, ja. Gott! a cruiser mit a German flag. One of der boats came sgipping ofer der vaters blue. “See, see, Schultz!” Henery called, “dere iss Gustav, und Hans, und Max, und in der prow iss—Lena.” “Ja, so war’s vat, Henery.” “Sure, Schultz, now gif em der shark story.’ “Ach, sum oder time, maype vat?” AENEIAD Book I, lines 50-86. Taliaflammato secumcorde Dea volutans, Nimborum In patriam Aeoliam, loca Feta furentibibus austris venit. Hic vasto rex Aeolus antro Luctantes ventos tempestatesque Sonoras imperio premit Ac vinclis etcarcere frenat. Illi idignantes cum montis Mumure magno circum claustra Fremunt; celsa sedit Aeolusarce, Sceptra tenens, mollitque animos Ee temperat iras. Ni faciat Maria ac terras caelumque profun- dum Quippe ferant rapidi secum Verrantque per auras. Pondering thoughts like these Within her heart aflame Juno, the queen of the gods draws Nigh the abode of the winds, Aeolia. Here in a spacious cavern king Aeolus Bends to his will contending blasts And the raging storms he does con- fine By the fetters of his prison house. These winds, while the mountain moans, Madly chafe about the barriers. Aeolus, seated on his lofty throne With sceptre in hand, their fury calms And violent passion soothes. For, should he not do this, the seas, The earth and deep vault of the sky Would be borne away by these winds. Sed Pater omnipatens speluncis Abdidit atris, hoc metuens Molemque et montes insuper Altos imposuit regemque dedit, Qui foedere certo et premere Et laxas sciret dare iussus Habenas, Ad quem tum Juno Supplex bis vocibus usa est. ‘Aeole, namque tibi pater atque Hominum rex et mulcere dedit' Fluctus et tollere vento, gens inimica Mihi Tyrrhenum navigat aequor Ilium in Italiam portans victosque Penates: incute vim ventis Sunnnersasque obrue puppes, aut Age diversos et disice corporaponto. Sunt milii bis septem praestanti Corpore Nymphie, quarum (piae Forma pulcherrima Deiopea. Conubio iungam stabili Propriamque dicabo, omnes ut Tecum meritis pro talibus Annos exigat et pulchra Faciat te prole parentum.' Put Jupiter, that all-powerful sire Fearing this, confined them in dark caves And placed mighty mountains upon them :— Gave them a king whose duty it was, Under certain conditions to know How to check or to give them free reins, To him, then, Juno, as suppliant These words addresses: O Aeolus, to thee I come, for to thee the father And king of men lias granted power Roth to calm the waters and cast them up. A race which I dislike is sailing the Tuscan sea. Bearing a Trojan and conquered Penates to Italy: Lash your winds to fury! Sink and bury the ships in the waves! Scatter the sailors o’er the deep! I have twice seven graceful nymphs And Deiopea, the fairest of these, I will unite to thee in lasting wed- lock. Will pronounce her thine for ever. That she may spend her life with thee, In return for these services of thine. That she may make thee a father Proud of beautiful children.” Aeolus haec contra: ‘Tuus, O regina, Quid optes explorare labor; Mihi iussa capessere fas Est. Tu mihi quodcumque Hoc regni, tu sceptra Iovermque Concilias, tu das epulis Accumbere divum, nimborumque Facis tempestatumque potentem.” Haec ubi dicta, cavum conversa Cuspide montem impulit in latus, Ac venti, velut agmine facto, Qua data porta, ruunt et terras Turbine perflant. Incubuere mari Totumque a sedibus imis una Eu- resque Notusque ruunt creberque procellis Africus et vastos volunt ad litora fluctus. In answer this did Aeolus speak: “Thy task, O Queen, is to consider thy wishes; Mine the duty to perform thy com- mands. For me thou didst win this realm as it is, For me this sceptre and Jove’s favor thou secured, Thou grantest to me the honor of reclining At the banquets of the gods, and Makest me lord of the winds and storms.” He spoke and with shifted spear did strike Against the hollow mountain’s side. The winds, as in battle array, rush forth From the crevices in whirlwind blast. At one and the same moment, Furus Notus, Africus, abounding in storms Descend and heave up the depths of the sea, Toss the huge waves upon dry shores. BERTHA MACLISE CRAWFORD, ’12. La Belle Madame Regamier Jeanne Frangoise Julie Adelaide Bernard cst nee a Lyons en France, le 4 decembre 1177. Elie fut instruite dans un convent a Lyons, et elle le quitta avec repugnance pour aller a Faris, ou elle mena une vie gaie et sociale. Quand elle etait une jeune femme, elle etait tres gracieuse, donee en musique et en danse, et sa personnalite etait tres charmante. Sa beante excite l’admiration de la reine et de la princesse royale. Quand elle eut quinze ans, elle s'est mariee a M. Recamier, qui eut quarante-deux ans. II lui garnit somptueusement une maison d’acajou, de bronze, de bois de satin, et de galon d'or. Les homines et les femmes les plus eclatants de ce temps s’assem- blaient dans son salon, et Madame de Stael en etait son amie la plus chere. Lorsque Madame Recamier faisait des visites aux coursetran- geres, tout le monde rendait hommage a sa beaute, a son charme, et a son esprit. Mais son mariage fut malheurenx et comme elle n'eut pas d’enfants, elle adopta une niece de son mari. Elle etait tres interessee dans la charite, elle visitait les indigents, et etablissait des ecoles. Quand la banque de M. Recamier fit faillite, tout le monds sym- pathisa avec Madame Recamier. Bientot apres, elle visita son amie, Madame de Stael, cpii vivait dans l’exil. C’etait ici qu’elle rencontra le Prince Auguste de Prusse, qui devint amoreux d’elle, et lui demanda qu’elle se separat de son mari. Mais il ecrivit une lettre si touchante qu’elle delaissa 1’idee. Parce qu’elle fit des visites a l’exilee Madame de Stael si souvent, elle fut exilee elle meme. Son endroit d’exil devint Lyons apres quelque temps ou elle rencontra le philosophe distingue, M. Ballanche, et il y eut des conversations eclatantes entre let deux. A cause de la chute de Napoleon, elle put retourner de son exil a Paris; Madame de Stael et d’autres amis y retournerent aussi. Bientot apres Madame de Stael tomba dangereusement malade, et a son chevet Madame Recamier rencontra Chateaubriand, auteur inspire et homme d’etat distingue. Il devint son ami sincere, et il lui ecrivait constamment de ses postes a Berlin, a Londres, et a Rome, ou il etait ambassadeur de France. Ainsi que Madame Recamier, il etait mal- heureusecent marie. M. Recamier mourut a Page de quatre-vingts ans, apres avoir vecu quelque temps se pare de son epouse. Elle avait fait ce pas, parce que son etablissement de banque avait fait faillite deux fois. La vue de Madame Recamier s’affaibljt et elle pleura sur la mort de Ballanche tant qu’elle devint avengle completement. Apres que 1’epouse de Chateaubriand etait morte, il ofifrit sa main a son amie vielle. Dans quelques mots bien choisis, elle refusa cela, mais elle dit qu’elle serait heureuse de prendre soin de lui dans son vieillesse! Apre sa mort, sa sante s’affaiblit rapidment, et elle mourut chez sa niece le 11 Mai, 1819. Madame Recamier etait la femme la plus belle de l’Europe, elle eut une renommee pure, et un caractere genereux. Elle ne se faisait pas d’ennemis, et ne perdait pas un ami. Sa bonne fai sa bienveillance, son esprit, et sa dignite etaient une inspiration a tout le monde. MARION PAYNE. Im siiclwestlichen Deutschland iiber einen grossen Teil von Baden und Wiirttemberg streekt sich cine Gebirgekette. Diese ist dicht mit Tannen-baumen bewachsen, und tragt wegen des dunklen Farbentons ihres Laubes und direr Stamme schon seit friihester Zeit den Namen Schwarzwald. Der Schwarzwald ist in der Form eines Dreiecks, und der roman- tische Rhein bildet auf zwei Seiten die Greuze desselban. Das Kinzig- thal trennt das Gebirge in zwei Teile, Unter und Ober-Schwarzwald. Baden-Baden ist die bedeutenste Stadt des untern Schwarzwald; Kniebis und Hornisgrinde sind die hochsten Berge. Der Ober- Schwarzwald ist der siidliche '1'eil des Waldes und der kahle runde Gipfel des Feldbergs erhebt sich aus dessen Mitte ungefahr 5,000 Fuss in die Holie. Der Abhang desselben ist sehr steil gegen den Rhein doch allmahlich neigt er sich gegen den Xeckcr und die Donau. In den Talern und nicht in den Hohen und Bergen liegen die Schon- lieiten und Wunder der Natur des Schwarzwaldes verborgen. Fusswege und Wegweiser fiihren den Wanderer von einer interressanten Stelle zur andren; von der sprudelnden Wasserquelle zu dem murmelnden See oder dem rauschen den Flusse; von dem Gast oder Bauernhause zu den altertumlichen Ruinen eines Schlosses, oder eines Klosters. Das dichte griine Laub der Tannen, die oft 200 Fuss in die Ilohe empor- ragen, schiitzt den Touristen vor den heissen Sonnenstrahlen und spendet weit und breit lieblichen Duft. Still und ohne Furcht kann ein Wanderer seines Weges gelien, denn er hat nicht zu furchten wilde Tiere, Raiiber, oder gleitende Eis und Schneeberge. Die wilden Tiere sind ausgerottet, und die Ruinen der Raubritterschlosser, welche manche Hohe zieren, erhohen nur den Zauber der Landschaft und verk- niipfen cine Sage melir mit der I'mgegend. Denn fast jedes Schloss, jeder Fluss, Berg oder See hat seine interressante Sage. Wer die ersten Einwohner des Schwarzwaldes waren ist nicht genau bekannt. Kaesar nennt in seinen Schriften das Volk der Cinibern und der Teutonen, unciviliziert, gross und stark gebaut, sehr mutig und tapfer ini Kampf. Sie waren die ersten die unter seinen Soldaten Furcht verbreiteten so das er sie Germanen oder Kreigsmanner nannte. Sie begannen mit ihm den Kreig zwischen den Deutschen und den Romern, welcher beinahe 000 jahre wahrte. Eine Zeitlang schien cs, als ob die Romer die Oberhand gewinnen wtirden, aber in den Helden Hermann fand sich der Retter der Deutschen-Jedoch bald darauf fiel das Land in die HZnde der zankischen Stamme. Dies- mal waren es die Monche und der Einfluss des Christentums, welche das Land vor Verwustung retteten. Im zehnten und eften Jahrhundert hausten die Raubritten in den Ildhen des Schwarzwalds und unter- driickten das gauze Land. Do'ch heutzutage finden wir nichts von alle deni, sondern nur ehrliche, friedsame Einwohner. Die meisten betreiben eine Landwirt- scliaft und ob reich oder arm, ein jeder Besitzer arbeitet un ermiidlich von frtih morgens bis spat in die Nacht. Eine andere Beschaftigung ist der Holzhandel. Die Tannen werden gefallt und jetzt meistens mit der Eisenbahn, aber zuweilen auch auf dem Rhein nach Holland abge- sandt. Die letztere Weise, Holzflosserei genannt, bietet ein selir inter- ressantes Schauspiel dar. Ein Floss ist oft 700 Fuss lang und ist mit Planken belegt, welche das Deck bilden, auf diesem errichten die Schiffer ihre Hiitten. Sie nehmen ihre Familien mit sich so dasz oft von 300 bis 400 Personen darauf wohnen. Mit grosser Schnelligkeit eilt dieses schwimmende Dorf den Rhein entlang zu seinem Abladeplatz. Viele Holzarbeitcn werden verfertigt und die erste Uhr wurde hier ge- macht. In deni Museum zu Furtwangen ist eine Uhr aufbewahrt die schon iiber 211 Jahre alt ist. Die Uhrmacberei gibt auch heute noch Arbeit fur viele Leute. Ausser diesen finden diese fleiszigen Leute noch viele andere Beschaftigungen. Doch sind sie nicht zu beschaftigt, um mit Rat und Tat beizustehen. Geld errcgt in ihnen nicht die Lust immer melir und melir zu bekommen, sondern was sie sparen, legen sie beiseite fiir ihre Kinder, um ihnen Gelegenheit zu geben zu lernen, was ihnen versagt war. Reinlichkeit ist iiberall, selbst in den geringsten Hiitten zu finden. Kost und Quartier kann man selir billig bekommen und berufsmaszige Bettler giebt es bier nicht um den Wanderen zu plagen. Doch liebe Leser auch diese Leute haben ihre Fehlcr, aber ihre Tugend steht im Vordergrunde, und mochte das so sein in alien Landen! - FLORENCE VEITENGRUBER.

The parting hour is drawing nigh; Our High School Days are o'er; With memories sweet we will depart Perhaps to meet no more. Chorus With a sigh, we say goodbye To our dear old east side High, To our emblem Gold and Blue Nineteen Twelve will e'er be true. 2. Now here's to all our teachers dear, Who cheered us on our way That led us on to victory; To those, farewell we say. 3. Then from thy halls we will depart, Brave hearts each one and all, To go upon Life's rugged way, To answer Duty's call. Helen Westhoff SCHOOL DAYS School days, school days, dear old golden rule days, Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic, Taught to the tune of a hickory stick, You were my queen in calico, I was your bashful, barefoot beau, And you wrote on my slate, I love you, Joe , When we were a couple of kids. CLAUS POEM TO OUR TEACHERS In marble in the Hall of Fare, Forever lives the sculptor’s name; The poet's song in future years Will pleasure bring or move to tears. But certain artists do I know Whose works of fame no book will show; Who have not wrought in clay and gold And yet do merit praise untold. The teachers molding faithfully Our characters from day to day, And leading us with loving thought, What wondrous changes they have wrought Developed minds and ever taught That truth and honor must be sought; Assisted us in each day's strife. Which seemed the problem of our life. And after all this toil so hard Should their's not be some great reward And is there nought that shall proclaim In years to come the teacher's name. Their pupils' eyes alone can tell That they have labored long and well, There gratitude and love abound. Their monuments in hea.rts are found. Karla Beierle In 1009, two hundred fifty strong, we entered the Saginaw High School as Freshmen. That year we took no part in social affairs but simply watched the doings of our elders with the carefulness which considers future attainment. Shortly after Christmas vacation of our Sophomore year we be- came busily engaged in making preparations for a class party, which was the first of its kind in the school history and created much excitement. The reason for this was because we had decided in a class meeting to be so independent as to give a party for ourselves, and strictly for ourselves, no outsiders being allowed. The party itself took place Thursday, February twenty-fourth, from four to seven, in the Manual Training building. The gymnasium was decorated with bunting of blue and yellow, the class colors, and at each end hung a shield of yellow and blue with the numerals T2 in electric lights. At four o’clock there was an informal reception and after this the members of the class took part in a Grand March led by the president, George Bliss, and vice-president, Miss Karla Beierle. After the March we danced to music furnished by Cook’s orchestra. For all those who did not care to dance and also for many others, there was a great attraction in one of the upstairs rooms, as a young gypsy maiden had secretly pitched her tent there and to the enjoyment of all, Miss Swinton told fortunes. This Sophomore Spread (we are much indebted to Miss Chase for the name), which we are proud to say originated in our class, was a com- plete success and moreover it prepared us for the greater functions which were to follow. The first social event during the Junior year was the annual Junior Hop, which took place Friday evening, December twenty-third, nine- teen hundred ten, in the gymnasium of the Manual Training building. The decorations were exquisite. The balustrade around the running track was draped with blue and yellow bunting, and over this back- ground smilax and chrysanthemum were prettily arranged. There were colored lights, and suspended from the ceiling was a “calcium moon,” which helped to make a very bright and pleasant evening. At one end of the gymnasium was the class shield, while at the other hung our banner. Much enjoyment was created by the spot light, which searched the corners as well as played at random on the dancers. A booth for the orchestra was partitioned off from the rest of the gymnasium by huge white pillars; it was brilliantly lighted and was surrounded by many palms. The guests as well as the Juniors themselves pronounced this party very enjoyable and a great success. Our ten Juniors who won the Junior exhibition appointments were the following: Meta Grow, first; Florence Veitengruber, a close second; the other eight appointees in alphabetical order were:—Maude Fisher, Elaine Herbert, Blanche Kerns, Rudolph List, Martha Otto, Marion Payne, Frida Volz and Cordula Zuehlke. No exhibition was given for school work crowded very heavily in the attempt to make up all the time lost by the vacation caused by the small-pox epidemic. A social function of great importance took place on May twelfth. We gave at the Germania our Junior entertainment, which took the form of a minstrel show. As this was a departure from the beaten path of social custom, our class again deserves distinction for establishing a precedent. A minstrel show for high school students is most diffi- cult to stage and so all the more credit is due to the participants. We are indeed grateful for the helpful suggestions given us by Harry Gose- line and Charles Carlisle. Some of those who participated were Itha- mar Tracy, interlocutor; Harold Forsyth, Fred Gallagher. Lionel Mer- rill and Franz Otto, end men. The names of those in the chorus were: —Messrs. Braun, Chandler, Cunningham, Lee, List, Lum, Ostler, Spence, Vorwerck, Wagner, Winston; Misses Beierle, Fisher, Grandy, Harris, Herbert, Hunter, Jones, Koch, Oppermann, Payne, Perry. Shea, Westhoff, Whatley, Zwerk. Solos were rendered by Fred Ostler, Clifford Vorwerck, Earl Wagner. Harold Forsythe, Leon Cunningham and Fred Gallagher. Mr. Cunningham was accompanied by twelve girls, who gave a very attractive little dance. Dancing was then enjoy- ed by all, the rest of the evening. Because of the financial success of this entertainment, we were enabled to take the Seniors to Riverside Park. Four special cars were engaged to transport all members of both classes to the park, where a delightful time was spent. Late in the afternoon, a supper was served in the pavilion. 1 hen dancing was enjoyed by all until time for departure. As Seniors our first social event took place in the form of a dance, the Senior dance. We had intended to realize something in order to start the Aurora along. A good time was enjoyed but our intentions did not materialize. The gymnasium was decorated for the occasion with colored lights hanging from the track, while the class banner was suspended from the ceiling. Dancing was enjoyed from eight until twelve, the music was furnished by Russo s orchestra and punch was served throughout the evening. On May third we bowed a second time to the public behind the Germania’s footlights when we presented “A Count of Xo Account. Other social events including “Mischgianza” have kept us merry since, and commencement brings a series of good times in close proximity. We have had a most enjoyable time socially, thfoughout these four years from which we most reluctantly part. INEZ JONES. STANLEY BEACH Class of 1913 Colors—Yellow and White. OFFICERS R.

Seam l.ast year the Saginaw High school was represented in forensic circles by a debating team composed of Ithamar Tracy, Chester Field and W ilber Brucker. 'I'hc debate held between this team and that of the Detroit Eastern High was a notable one. The question of “Re- ciprocity” was uppermost in people's minds at the time and the present Senior class had the distinction of having two members on the team. Since that time nothing has been done to further this commendable feature of our school life. The oratorical and debating contests arc- supposed to represent the best of the public speaking sections. Surely something ought to be done next year concerning this. Why not a Valley Debating Association? I I THENCEAN SOCIETY Thencean Society Colors—Dark Blue and Silver.

The music department has practically grown to its present standard during our time in school. Every effort for encouraging a better muical education has been put forth. The equipment of the music room has been greatly improved by the addition of a player-piano for recital work. Text books for the study of music have also been added to this year. These improvements are of much value to the pupils, as they have the opportunity of studying and hearing music to perfec- tion. We have at present only two musical organizations in the school, the Amphion composed of girls, and the Glee Club composed of male voices. The membership of each of the clubs has reached a higher mark than ever before. Previous to this time, Orchestra and Mandolin clubs have been organized every year. For the last two years they have been out of existence. The fact that these clubs at one time were declared indispensible, proves they have disappeared not through lack of necessity but through negligence only. We hope next year we may have the opportunity and pleasure of hearing a Saginaw High School Orchestra or Mandolin Club play. The orchestra under able direction is one of the best means of bringing out our future musicians at an early period. It is not only valuable in this way, but is also of much use in making our musical plays a success, as well as aiding in the success of all school functions. Two years ago the opera “Pinafore” was given by the Amphion and Glee Clubs. This proved a great success, the proceeds were given to the alumni, to aid in paying for the “Athletic Field Gate.” It was sincerely hoped by all participants, that the clubs of future years would follow their steps. For two years after this great event, nothing has been done. This year the Glee Club and Lyceum planned to give a musical comedy, but on account of the inability to obtain a capable director the plans were not carried out. The Amphion, this year, is under the able direction of Mrs. k. M. 15. Wilson. The girls have been a great credit to the school on all of their appearances. They have worked hard, and have shown their ability to sing well when called on. The Glee Club got an unusually early start. After electing offi- cers, they started right in for business. I he result has been that, their public appearances have been greater than ever before, and on ever} occasion. Under the presidency of Mr. Walter Burdick the club has finally become recognized as an existing element in the social life of the school. Miss Steinbach has proved invaluable as a directress. A quar- tette was formed from the Glee Club, consisting of Walter Burdick. Arthur Beach, Fred Ostler and Earl Wagner, which altho new, showed pleasing results. Music is a positive force for culture in a community,—a force, the power of which can be realized when musicians and music lovers work for the common cause and for the public benefit. Of the many forms of cultural activity there is none, which makes the same univti- sal appeal, as music. Public interest in music has increased and is growing year by year. 1 he public school is one of the many agencies now seeking to develop a wide-spread and intelligent appreciation of good music. Every town should strive for the support and improve- ment of a sound musical atmosphere. The citizens have had unusual opportunities, during the past year, to hear good music. 1 he splendid Auditorium has been the means of bringing many world-renowned artists and organizations, before Sag- inaw audiences. It has afforded us the privilege of hearing Madame Schumann-Heink, Madame Lillian Nordica, Jan Kubelik and the Min- neapolis Orchestra. The function of a musical education is to guide the artistic taste of the great public to a love and an appreciation of the BEST in music. Surely this year has been a successful one in the way of music. EARL WAGNER.

One of tbe largest turnouts ever witnessed was the result. 1 all ones, lean ones, fat ones, every kind of would-be players turned out. The prospects were bright when Hughes, List, Fettig, Steckert, Fesler, Baskins and Captain Heagany donned their skins. In a few days Gaudreau came forth from his lodge and our hopes went high only in a few days to be struck down by the injury and subsequent loss of our Captain Ray Heagany. When it had been finally seen that Ray couldn't play, the team elected Cecil Baskins to pilot their fortunes. Too much cannot be said of the latter’s ability after lie had taken up the team at a time when Saginaw’s fortunes were low. EDITOR. SAGINAW vs. ALMA. Out played and out generalled Alma high school went down to de- feat at the hands of the Saginaw high school team. The field was in poor condition which made the playing rather slow. Alma could do nothing against the black and go'ld's line and the Saginaw ends more than held their own. The Saginaw forwards fre- quently broke through and threw Alma’s backs for losses. I he Saginaw s backfield was used almost entirely in carrying the ball. Gaudreau was the particular star, although he was closely fol- lowed by Captain Baskins. Score—Saginaw, 11; Alma 0. SAGINAW vs. BAY CITY (E). After gamely battling a heavier and more experienced foe to a stand-still on a slippery field for two periods, Saginaw succumbed to a relentless attack of the undefeated Bay City school eleven at Clarkson Park, November 4th, 27 to 0. It had been seven years since a Bay City team had triumphed over the Black and Gold. It was a big day for Bay City. 1 he business aroused spirit and en- gaged a band to help the cause. THE GAME. At the first kick off Saginaw carried Bay City off their feet and all but swept across their line, only to be held and penalized. Saginaw clearly out played Bay City in the first half. But after that it was a different story. Saginaw were forced to shift their line up because of injuries and the star men were repeatedly laid out. To Harry Schultz, the Eastern left half, belongs the lion’s share of the day’s glory. His brother and Carman Smith were his main sup- porters. The light Saginaw backs played a strong game. Gaudreau being often in the) limelight. Robertson, French and Blaskins all came through with long gains. Fesler’s tackling, which was hard and sure, figured prominently in the struggle. SAGINAW vs. MT. PLEASANT. After playing listlessly in hard luck in the first half, the speedy Saginaw High school gridiron warriors struck their stride in the two re- maining periods and completely smothered the Alt. Pleasant eleven by a score of 35 to 0. The visitors displayed but a vague knowledge of the rudiments of the gridiron game. They ran with the ball poorly, and their tackling was crude. Wickett’s punting was the best feature of Mt. Pleasant’s play. French and Gaudreau were the most consistent ground gainers for the Black and Gold, while Robertson, Baskins and Fesler were “there at all times. SAGINAW vs. ITHACA. With a gale blowing across the field at the rate of eighty miles an hour, and a field which might be called an Irish bog, Saginaw defeated Ithaca High at Ithaca after a slow but hard-fought game. The Ithaca team was perhaps the heaviest team that Saginaw has encountered this season. A center of 240 pounds, a backfield averaging 1 TO pounds, with the rest of the line but a trifle less, their weight would have been a credit to any college, but their knowledge of foot ball could be com- pared to grammar school elevens. By reason of the heavy field and the gale nothing but straight foot ball was employed, wherein the beef of Ithaca told very plainly. However, the Saginaw line fought for every inch they advanced and so always managed to keep them clear of Saginaw’s goal line. Through good line plunging by Baskins and Gaudreau the ball was finally carried within eighteen yards of Ithaca's gaol from where Gaudreau placed a pretty drop kick between the goal posts. The rest of the game was mere wading through mud and water with the ball in Ithaca’s territory most of the time. Neither team was able to come near each other's goal and the game ended with a score of Saginaw 3, Ithaca 0. SAGINAW vs. BAY CITY (E). Bay City Eastern came up to play Saginaw to a standstill, but it was just the other way, for Saginaw out-played them at all stages of the game, and when Eastern walked from alumni field they had won one of the flukiest victories which a foot hall eleven had ever won. After being tossed about and having the ball inside their own thirty yard line, time and time again during the forty minutes of actual playing, they succeeded in crossing Saginaw’s line for a touchdown on a fluke. Saginaw was three times within Bay City's five yard line and at- tempted six field goals. I he Saginaw backs ripped through their heavy line, which the down river boys presented, at will and tore oflf gains from ten to twenty yards. In the fourth quarter with two minutes left to play, Saginaw took the ball to Bay City’s three-yard line, but were penalized. Then Billy Schultz got the ball and the whistle blew. Umpire Munson had called Saginaw for off-side. With blowing of whistle, the Saginaw players stopped and did not attempt to tackle Schultz who kept on and crossed the line for a touchdown. Bay City’s claim to the state championship received a decided set back after their performance in this game. If Detroit Central or Mus- kegon ever could get their hands on Bay City, there would not be enough Bay City players left at the end of the game for them to con- tinue to play.

Saginaw High school opened the 1912 basket ball season Friday evening by defeating the Alumni team 21 to 14. The game was fast and hard fought and rather rough with the younger team more able to stand the gruelling. The visitors failed to get “together” until after the first half, but after that made a good showing. They battled evenly, and seven minutes elapsed before the under- grads drew blood, Steckert tossing the first basket. The entire half was hard fought and at the finish the score stood 6 to 4 with the High School on top. I he second period was played more openly and many more bas- kets were thrown. It was not long before all doubts as to who the win- ner would be, vanished. Steckert and Elberts scored all but three of the winners points, the former shooting four baskets and the latter one shooting five baskets. Heagany starred in defensive work. Bradley and Green starred for the Alumni. SAGINAW vs. ARTHUR HILL. Fighting against a more experienced foe the Arthur Hill team was defeated by a score of :58 to 1G. The east siders showed a greater knowledge of the game and with plenty of confidence were aggressive. Arthur Hill played almost entire- ly on the defensive, but fought hard even after they were out of the run- ning. The winners took an early lead. Steckert getting the first basket after a few minutes. The first half ended with the score standing 22 to 7. Arthur Hill had the advantage in the first few minutes of the last period. Saginaw had considerable difficulty in locating the rim from any angle. The half ended 16 to 9. Heagany starred for Saginaw playing a fine game at forward. Buell and Zuber starring for Arthur Hill. SAGINAW vs. GRAND RAPIDS. Saginaw journeyed down to Grand Rapids Friday to meet the strong Grand Rapids basket hall team and after a hard and snappy game Saginaw was defeated by a score of 22 to 20. The game started with a jump and after a hard fight the half ended with a score of 8 to 5 with Grand Rapids on the long end of the score. The scoring was rapid and sensational in the last half. The score for this half was 14 to 15 in favor of Grand Rapids. Saginaw made every concession for another game, being confident of victory on a neutral floor, but the furniture city bunch had “cold feet.’’ SAGINAW vs. MT. PLEASANT. Saginaw journeyed down to Mt. Pleasant to play a practice game with the team representing Mt. Pleasant high. Although playing in a small 2x4 hall, Saginaw defeated Mt. Plea- sant by a score of 28 to 1! . As it was impossible to secure the college gym, the game had to be played in the high school gym, which was very small. The entire Saginaw team played well with Steckert and Elbert as bright lights for Saginaw. SAGINAW vs. WEST BRANCH. Saginaw defeated West Branch in our own gym, Friday evening by the large and overwhelming score fo 60 to 16. From the time the game started until it ended the visitors were outclassed by our fast fire, our boys throwing baskets from any angles. Every man in our team played to perfection, each man getting two or more points. Hooper starred for West Branch. SAGINAW vs. BAY CITY EASTERN. Saginaw journeyed to P.ay City and beat Coacb Carvers five by a score of 22 to 14. Carver’s five intended to beat the Saginaw team but utterly failed in the attempt. Saginaw started off in the lead when Elbert shot a basket from the middle of the floor. Steckert soon followed with another. Steckert, Elberts and Melbeyer starred for Saginaw, while Schultz starred for Bay City. SAGINAW vs. DETROIT CENTRAL. With the best of form and with the most formidable quintet that has represented our school in recent years, we invaded Detroit Central's own domain and defeated them for the first time in the history of Saginaw High by a score of 32 to 20. From the start of the game to the end the two teams raced up and down the floor, showing their fine team work. Elbert our star center played a fine game at center, getting the jump on his man every time. Spencer also showed up well in throwing baskets. Heagany our short but fast guard played the game of his life, guarding his man every min- ute and sticking to him like glue. Speaking of the game itself it was one continuous reel of action from beginning to end. Johnson and Clarke did the work for Detroit. SAGINAW vs. ARTHUR HILL. Again Saginaw high met our everlasting rivals and again we beat them. This time we snowed them under by a score of 64 to 3. The game, was very fast and exciting. Elberts, Steckert, Heagany and Spencer all did their duty in getting baskets. Eastman our new guard played a fine game and was one of the main stars. Winship starred for Arthur Hill. SAGINAW vs. BAY CITY (EASTERN). Still keeping our good record of victories, we beat Bay City Eastern by a score of 50 to 9. Bay City’s only chance to get points were on fouls. “Cap” certainly did live up to his ambition of captaining a winning team in a most capable manner. He always got the jump on his man and is one of the best centers in the country, lie has not a word of praise that is not due him. lie led the team to a state championship. ERNEST ELBERTS, Captain “Kit” was one of the most slippery men that ever donned a Saginaw basket-ball suit. He made baskets from every angle on the floor with an accuracy that was remarkable. He makes the second of his family to win high praise for his basket-ball record in the S. H. S. He de- serves much credit for his management of the team, in which capacity his executive ability always showed. FRANK SPENCER, Manager Ray is there with the “pep” all the while. He stuck to his man like a bull dog at a tramp. His experience gained in former games made him ready for anything his opponent could spring. Saginaw loses a valuable player in this boy. RAY HEAGANY William, ‘‘Hill.” is one of the fastest of the fast. He shot baskets as fast as Willie Hoppe could “scratch.” When “Bill” entered the game the opposing team got seven recruit guards warmed up for instant use, and one by one they made for the cyclone cellar. The aforesaid “Hill” is a whirlwind and should lead his team to an- other state championship next year. WILLIAM STECKERT � WILLIAM EASTMAN This boy plaved his first year on the team. Mis record is fine. He guarded his man with extreme carefulness and passed with accuracy. I le preferred “team-work” to “grand-stand” which surely shows his class. Ed was a utility which could be and was used in every position. He could fit himself to his job in an instant and will undoubtedly be one of next year's mainstays. EDWIN MEIBEYER CARL MILLER Carl is a hoy of great promise. Although he did not play a position steadily, he was a fine Forward and with Steckert. Eastman and Mei- beyer will form a nucleus for a fine team next year. Base Ball As a nucleus for this year’s team there were Captain Baskins, Manager Mathewson, Topham, Meibeyer and Draper. The latter being unable to play the entire season. The rest of the team had to be picked from raw material, with the exception of H. List who had starred on the Frankenmuth teams. A good pitcher was found in F. Baskins, who did excellent work for his first year on the team. Captain Baskins de- serves a good deal of credit for the showing the team made. CHESANING vs. SAGINAW. In the first game of the season at Alumni Field Chesaning was defeated 22 to 2. Saginaw drove three pitchers from the box. They swung on the ball unmercifully knocking it all over the field. F. Bas- kins proved to a find on the pitching staff, as he was very stingy to the Chesaning players. List, a new man, also proved to be a find, as he was in the game all the time and a heavy hitter. C. Baskins (Capt.) did good work behind the bat.

BAY CITY EASTERN vs. SAGINAW. Saginaw was shut out by Bay City. The score was 6 to 0. Eastern got a very few hits but they were lucky enough to come at the right time, which enabled them to win the game. Burgdorff of Bay City was in good form allowing but three hits.

In a burlesque game Saginaw was defeated 15 to 12. It rained early in the afternoon and the captains of both teams thought it best to postpone the game, hut to please the fans agreed to play a practice game. At the end of the ninth, each team had scored nine times and it was getting dark, but the game continued through ten innings, which ended with Arthur Hill on the big end of the score. Lorenzen was pounded to the utmost and was removed in the fifth. Winship took his place, much to the sorrow of Saginaw. H. List was the man with the stick, getting four hits, while Topham and I. Ippell each got three. Another game will he played later in the season as this one does not count. The score: 1 2 3 4 5 G 7 8 9 10 R Arthur Hill.... 4 0 0 3 2 0 0 0 2 4 — 15 Saginaw 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 — 12 BAY CITY EASTERN vs. SAGINAW. Oh ! “Revenge is sweet.” Bay City was given a good drubbing for the defeat it handed Saginaw early in the season. F. Baskins was in different form than before and surprised the Bay City swatters. Burgdorff had also changed since the last meeting, only his change was for the worse, as he was removed in the third. Mathewson, C. Baskins and Rice showed their ability to hit.

Because of lack of material, the seniors could not carry out the custom this year. In place of this, a meet was arranged with the Seniors and Sophomores against the Juniors and I'reshmen. As soon as the meet was announced all the athletes and near athletes turned out for their respective teams. The turnout was undoubtedly the largest in the history of the school. On Friday, March 22, the event was pulled off. Loveland, the star middle distance runner easily landed first in the 440 and 880-yard runs, as was expected. Robertson, the versatile little fellow, was the individual star of the meet, carrying off 14)4 points. Davis was second high man for the Juniors and Freshmen, getting 11 points. Wienke was high man for the Seniors and Sophs., with 11 points, hrancke made a remarkable leap in the high jump, clearing 5 feet 4 inches from the gym. floor. Campbell and O’Donell did good work in the sprints. Fesler won the pole vault with ease. During the first part of the meet it looked as though the Seniors and Sophs, would be easy winners but their opponents gradually drew away and in the end were 15 points ahead.

Manager NINTH ANNUAL Saginaw Valley Interscholastic Track Meet At the beginning of the season tlie prospects for a winning team were very good. There were Captain Loveland, Manager Robertson, Wienke, Davis and Heagany of last year’s “S men. Among the new men, were hrancke, O’Donell and Campbell, all of whom looked like sure point-winners. The team did well considering the lack of practice, on account of continuous rain. A meet scheduled with Bay City was postponed three times on account of rain. When the Valley Meet came the team was in poor condition, but did remarkably well. VALLEY MEET. The ninth annual S. V. A. A. meet Uas held at Alumni Field, June 1. before a large crowd. The day was ideal. There were more athletes entered than ever before in the history of the meet. Carmen Smith of Bay City was individual star, getting away with 23J4 points. Bay City won the meet for the first time, while Saginaw winner of six banners was second, 13 points behind Bay City. Roy Davis of Saginaw broke the high jump record by leaping 5 feet -inches. Sheldon, the deer chaser from West Branch, won the mile in record time of 4:53, and the half in 2:10 2 5. He was having a jolly chat with his team mate, McKay, in both races. Robertson easily landed first in the broad jump. Campbell and O’Donell did fine work- fur their first meet, the former getting third in the century, and second in the 220, giving C. Smith a good run in each. O’Donell landed second in the high hurdles and third in the low. One of the disappointments of the meet was the poor showing Saginaw made in the distance runs, in which she was considered a strong contender. Captain Loveland was physically unable to compete in his special event, the half mile. Corbin starred for Alpena, winning the quarter, and picked up points to total of 1 4p2. The prettiest race of the day was the relay. Saginaw led up to one hundred yards from the finish. Loveland started and gave a lead of about 20 yards to Davis who lost not more than two or three yards. O’Donell was next, hut he was weak from the former running, and lost all but about ten yards, to Schultz of Bay City. Campbell started with this lead angainst Smith of Bay City, but he also was weak and Smith passed him at the 100-yard mark, and won by about a yard. With exception of the high jump and broad jump, which were won by Davis and Robertson respectively, the marks in the field events were mediocre. At the beginning, it looked as if the meet was to be between Bay City and Alpena, the same as last year, but Saginaw pulled ahead and far out-distanced all contenders except Bay City. The meet was a great success owing to the management by J. E. Tanis and his assistants, J. Rudolph List, Herbert List, Frank Christo- pher Spencer. Cecil Baskins, Walter Warren and Hugo Braun, all of Saginaw East Side High Sshool. SUMMARY 100-yard Dash—C.

SCHOOL -I HUMOR If you’re roasted rather badly, Just remember that you gladly Read the jokes On other folks. —Comical Board. “While I was in New York I went to se a rehearsal of ‘Salome,’” “Arent you ashamed of yourself?” “Don't be alarmed. ‘Twas a dress rehearsal.” “I'm awfully glad it's good form not to wear a watch with a dress suit.” “Why?’ “Because I never have my watch and dress suit at the same time. Miss King—“Most birds eat insects and grain, can anyone tell me one excep- tion. Miss Walby—“The woodpecker. He eats holes in trees. A PUZZLE. A hen one day swallowed a $2.000 diamond rnig. Puzzle—“What did the family have for dinner. “The barber told me an interesting story as he shaved me today.” “Indeed. “Yes; and also illustrated it with cuts.” If you were asked to disperse a mob, what would you do-” “Pass around the hat.” Mr. Mitchell—“What is political economy? Sheriff—“Buying votes for less than I do.” George Bliss—“What a pretty little lady.” A twelve year old girl—“Sir, I’Tl call a policeman if you annoy me further. Conductor—‘‘See here, young fellow don't pull that strap in the middle, you'll ring both bells.” Bliss going home—“I know that. I want both ends to stop.” “Is this a local option town.” Yes it's optional with you whether you go to the grocery or the drug store.” Some birds are plucked alive to get the feather's for women's hats. So are some husbands. A wife after a divorce said to her husband: “I am willing to let you have the baby half the time.” Good,” said the man, “splendid.” “Yes,” she went, “you can have it during the night.” HAIR. If you have red hair and are dissatisfied with it's color, try to make light of it.” Dandruff can be effectively cured by holding the head under water for about thirty minutes. To make your hair light, first rub coal oil well into the scalp and then apply a lighted match to it. To prevent the hair from falling out it should be shaved off with a sharp razor. Hair never falls from a bald head. Life insurance statistics would seem to indicate that men with dark hair are a safer risk than blonde men. Men with dark hair seldom dye. Matrimony will some times cure baldness. We know of a baldheaded bach- elor who contracted matrimony and about a year later lie was blessed with two little heirs. A fashion critic says that a woman in a tight dress on the street shows bad taste. Most of them show bad form. Dips—“Fat causes warmth, don’t it. Fat?” Fat Hughes—“Yes, especially when you have been training to get rid of some of it for six months, and you meet somebody who says, ‘My! but you are getting fat.’ ” Miss K.—“Is this your father’s signature?’ Bid—“As close as 1 could come to it.” Wrigley Spearmint Gum Co.: Gentlemen—lhave chewed your gum for four years and it is as good today as the day I bought it. Yours truly, CHARLES McLEOD. Mr. Heagany—“Are you first in anything at school, Ray?’ Ray—“First out of the building when the bell rings.” CL ASSI E1E D ADVERTIS EM E X TS. Lost: A handkerchief by a Freshman with money tied in a corner. “We come,” said the orator, “to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” There was a movement in the-rear as a large fleshy gentleman pushed his way to the front, “One moment, Mark, this funeral shan’t go on until underaker Claudius Eronicus joins the union.” Miss Brown—“You are not tit for decent company, Mr. Phoenix, come up here with me.” Mr. Wh-t-ey—“How many vacant hours have you, Mr. Nauer?” Natter—“Saturdays, Sundays and all holidays.” Franz (in mass meeting before Detroit game)—“Boys, if you go to that Detroit game you vill see von that you nefer saw nefore.” Miss K-ng (telling about chimpanzee in Zoology to bored class)—“Class, if you expect to learn anything about a chimpanzee, you must keep your eyes on me.” Lest: Near Room 7. a small watch containing Mr. Brucker’s picture. Valu- able only for contents. Please return to II. W. She—“How dare you swear before me?” He—“Well, how did I know you wanted to swear first.” HOW TO PUNISH A HAD BOY. Throw him out of a forty-two story building window, one second later let fall a seventy-two ton safe from the same place; pick up the pieces and send him home. If this does not have the desired effect, send him to Miss Lane for one-eighth hour and let her talk to him. Wanted; Some more girls. Symons. Miss Brown (in Geometry)—“You never will amount to anything, Mr. Phoenix.” Phoenix—“My! but you know how to flatter me.” Some one giggled when the teacher read the story of the Roman who swam across the Tiber three times before breakfast. “You do not doubt that a trained swimmer could do that, do you, Gordon?” “No, ma’am,” answered this wee Freshman, “I only wondered why he did not make it four times and get back to the side his clothes were on.” Mullholand (in Geometry)—“Were these problems to he done orally or mentally?” Miss Roberts—“Is anyone absent? Speak up if you are.” Bright Freshie trying to inflect the verb supero, Latin IX—“Sup—sup— sup—!!!—.” Miss Lane—“I am positively certain that we can do very well without all that sup (soup), and seeing that it has not occurred to jrou as necessary to expend any study upon your lesson before coming to class, I will cordially invite you to a social order with me tonight after school, and while I am trying to impress upon you the error of your ways, we will converse upon the events of the morning.” FIVE YEARS FROM NOW. Tracy’s youngest (at seashore)—“Can't I have a ride on a donkey? Mother—“No, darling, father says not.” Small Billy—“Why can't I have a ride on a donkey, mother?” Mother (to father)—“Oh, for goodness’ sake, Ithamar, give him a ride on your back to keep him quiet.” A GOOD SET, VERY REASONABLE. Jeff—‘‘Do you know where 1 can get a good set of teeth, cheap ?” Mutt—‘‘Yes; go in some backyard and kick a strange dog in the slats. Funny thing about Chinese, they are the only people in the world who have their head and tail on one end. SOMETHING IN A NAME. Jeff.—“What was your wife’s name before you were married?” Mutt—‘‘Her name was Helen Summer and the same in winter. HARD LUCK. Mutt— I have lost my wife.” Jeff—“How’s that?” Mutt— Her husband came and got her.” SLIGHTLY MIXED. Mutt—“You certainly were in a fine condition last night.” Jeff—“What did 1 do? Mutt—“Why you put your umbrella to bed and stood up in the sink all night.” MULHOLLAND. All good boys love their sisters, But so good have I grown, That I love other boys' sisters As well as my own. EESLER AT THE JEFFERS. “Motner, when are the Indians coming? “There are no Indians, dear. “Well, then, who scalped all these men in the front row?” Mabel—“Is my hat on straight? Gladys—“No; one eye shows. BACHELORS' BUTTONS. There was a man I used to know, Who went about in rags; Because he knew not how to sew, His trousers looked like bags. He used to put his buttons on In every sort of way; He’d use the strongest sort of thread. And yet they would not stay. One day a maiden, passing by, Took pity on his plight, She laughed, and said, “You silly boy, You can do nothing right.” She sewed his buttons on with thread, And you may guess the rest; For soon this happy pair had wed, And sailed off to the West. So, girls, if you should chance to spy A shabby man in life. You may well guess the reason why— That poor man needs a wife. Just sympathise with human woes, And bring this poor man cheer; By sewing buttons on his clothes, You'll win him, never fear. March is full Of terrible gales— Also full Of hosiery sales. TAIT IS SOMEBODY WE ALL KONW. There was a young fellow named Tait, Who dined with his girl at 8:08: But I’d hate to relate What that fellow named Tait, And his tete-a-tete ate at 8:08! And just then the Glee Club sang, “Goodnight, A Fond Goodnight.” SECOND THE MOTION. MR. CHAIRMAN: I There are meters of accent and meters of tone, But the best of all meters, is to meet her alone. There are letters of paper and letters of stone, But the best of all letters, is to let her alone. APPARENTLY POLITE. 1 arose with great alacrity To offer her my seat; 'Twas a question whether she or I Should stand upon my feet. WHAT IT MAY BE IN THE FUTURE. Cunningham (at the door)—“Madame, I am a piano-tuner.” The lady—“1 didn't send for a piano-tuner.” Cunningham—“1 know you didn’t, lady, the neighbors did.” You cannot cat a doughnut, And eat a doughnut whole, Unless you eat the doughnut. And leave the doughnut hole. As father was leaving the house Christmas morning he looked in vain for his umbrella. “I spec’ sister’s beau took it last night,” ventured six-year old Willie. “Oh, you naughty boy,” said sister Mable; “how can you say that?” “Well, it’s the truth,” Willie insisted. “When he was saying good-night I heard him say, “I am going to steal just one.” WE QUESTIONED THAT APPLICANT FOR A POSITION AS LAUNDRESS. “Are you married? “No, suh, Vs a widdah.” “Ah, and your husband is dead? “Yassuh, he’s sho daid.” “How did he meet his death?” “Laws, man, he didn’d meet it. Dey had ter chase him two mile fo’ dey all could catch him an’ put de rope 'round his neck.” REPORTED FROM THE U. of M. “Has anything been discovered on Venus?” asked the student of astronomy. “No,-” replied the old professor, whose mind had slipped a cog and trans- ported him into mythological fields, “not if the pictures of her are correct.” The villain dragged the shrinking heroine down to the footlights and in her ear he histed, “Are we alone? “No, governor,” interrupted the lone occupant of the gallery, “not tonight you aint; but you will be tomorrow night.” Pat, thinking to enliven the party, stated, “I’ll presint a box of candy to the lady that makes the homliest face within the next three minutes.” The time expired, and Pat announced, “Ah, Mrs. McGuire, you get the prize.” “But,” protested Mrs. McGuire, go wey wid ye, I wasn't playing at all.” “And how many brothers and sisters have you?” “’Taint no use askin’ him, mister, he can't count past the ’leven.” KIT IS SURE TO HE WARM. [Extract from the Saginaw Daily News, June 18, 1912.1 “Frank Spencer of this city was arrested in Lansing on order of the sheriff on a charge of larceny. Spencer, and a man named Rieder of St. Charles, arc charged with stealing a quantity of furs to the amount of $30.00. HE’LL KNOW BETTER WHEN HE GETS TO BE A SENIOR.

He’s going to get well.” The pastor called, and with Mrs. Smith was having a very edifying talk, when all of a sudden a strange noise interrupted them. Says Mr. Venerable, “Why, Mrs. Smith, do you keep a goat? They are very useful as well as docile animals.

SPEROS THE SOUTH END Dry Goods and Shoe Man For QUALITY and LOW PRICES The Detroit Electric name on an Electric pleasure car means as much to you as the ar- tist’s signature on a Corot, Millet, Rem- brandt or Whistler. The car is more than a utility. It represents a personality and its ownership reveals your discernment of True elegance and Real worth. For 1912 there are ten beauti- ful Designs. Model 26. The turn of the key, your hand on the horizontal speed controller which allows full seat room, and you are ready to quietly “float” the miles away. A slight movement of the hand—always in a natural, restful position on the horizontal leve —and you have a choice of five speeds. Move it back of neutral position and you apply the hub brakes, without even touching the foot pedals, or you can, also, bring tbc car to an abrupt stop by one pressure of the foot, which acts on four powerful, rear wheel brakes and at the same time instantly stops the flow of current,—a double safety device, patented. The instant response of the car to your slightest wish naturally creates an irresistible desire to know more about the unseen beauty of its mechanism upon which all depends. You wish to know about the storage of electricity, how it is turned into mechanical power by the motor and then carried to the wheels without waste through the “Chainless” Shaft Drive— another patented feature. Explanatory Note — The word “Chain- less” does not refer to the absence of side chains alone, but applied to the shaft drive, means no chain or gear reductions con- cealed at the motor, beneath the car. A Chainless” Shaft Drive has 1130 fewer parts than a Shaft Drive constructed with concealed chains, a self-evident advantage. All battery cells are “get-at-able” by simply raising the piano-hinged hoods, an absolute ne- cessity for proper inspection and “venting” while on charge. All body panels are of aluminum. They do not check, crack or warp. That means long life, continued beauty of finish and easy repair. Bodies arc hung lower but not so extreme that there is danger to vital machinery from in- sufficient clearance. Wonderful springs of im- proved design, smooth over any unevenness of the road. Ball bearing steering knuckles make steering remarkably easy. For 1912 we build one chassis in four sizes —85-inch, 90-inch, 96-inch and 112-inch wheel base. Ten stunning body designs. Tires—Pneumatic or Motz Cushion. Batteries—Edison — nickel and steel; De- troit, Ironclad and Exide lead. Edison and Iron- clad at additional cost.
