But there would be but little progress, little advance- ment. little improvement if we failed to profit by the past. In accordance with the precedent of former years of leaving behind a record of our High School life, we, the “Class of Nineteen Thirteen’’ issue the twenty-third annual “Aurora.” Whether we have profited by the past; whether we have improved in our task, or whether we have failed, we leave it to you, kind readers.

Doolittle Florence Barnard Robert Granville Lois Wilson Walter Tippcy Fannie Burnham Christian Hoerner President’s Address From our ranks by vote of the class has been chosen a most worthy representative to voice our farewell. But, as tradition has bestowed upon the President also the opportunity of expressing a few words, I gladly avail myself of this privilege. Let us put aside, for the moment, the fact that this is our last meet- ing in the harness as a complete team. We are grateful for the many advantages ofifered to us by this grand old harbor of learning. Our books are closed, to be opened only for hasty references in the future. Our most gracious Faculty will ask no more puzzling questions, nor yet give us sound advice. Our pondering nights are over. Examina- tions we fear not, while marks we quote with indifference. The ques- tion arises, “What is the significance of these trials?” It is easily ans- wered. Take the busy gardener as an illustration. He removes the obnoxious weeds and trims the plants, all to the end that ultimately the soil will be cultivated. We have done likewise with ourselves until now we are ready to attempt citizenship and all 'that ought to apply to a good American. Our open books, our willing teachers, our lengthy grinds, have thus been of importance in our lives. They have fitted us to be of service to our neighbors. It is natural also at this final reunion that we look back and trace our progress through our school days. We see many mistakes, a few failures, but the thing that dazzles us most is our success. The train of our many victories appears now to the wide- eyed Freshman as a trail of glory, and even to those of us who in the midst of our triumphs remember mistakes and failures our four years must needs lead to pleasant memories. Neither has our success been confined solely to matters of learning, but social affairs and athletics have come in for their share. We have established records in all branches of activities. Like engines we have submitted ourselves to the guidance of engineers, our gifted faculty, who so willingly and efficiently have oiled our bearings from the founts of knowledge, that we might win this race. As a class we have endeavored to ennoble our school as well as our- selves. Now we stand before the open door of the future. It is our most hearty desire that whatever of good there is in the reputation of this class of 191:5” shall he that of each individual member as well. With hearts throbbing, Old Saginaw High, we reluctantly bid thee farewell. LESLIE HUGHES LESLIE 11U LIIES Class of 1913 Colors — Yellow and White. OFFICERS.

Students, Friends and Classmates: 1 oday it falls to the lot of the valedictorian to say farewell, and I deem it a great honor to have the opportunity of saving a last few words to you for the class of 101 :i. But in saying farewell to one's school life, what varied emotions spring up. Satisfaction, because we have been victorious over twelve years of hard work, and yet uncertain- ty for the future; joy, because so many of us have come together to this honored seat, and sadness, because to-day we part. To-day we go out from the old school that has sheltered us for four years, the school where everyone was on a par, where one was not judged by what his parents were, by wealth or position in society, but by his owm merit, what he was, what he could develop; the school where honor stood above suc- cess. Members of the faculty, you have guided and governed us success- fully for four years. If we were to forget all the book knowledge we have acquired we could not forget the principles you have taught us. the principles of sympathy, diligence and honesty. Some of us will go on to higher institutions of learning, and some will be forced to l egin life’s struggle at once; but by your training all of us ought to be able to meet the issues before us. To you we extend sincere thanks. Undergraduates, we appeal to you to keep the shield of “Old Sag- inaw High as untarnished as has the class of 1913. So uphold the honor of the school that there can be no doubt of its holding first place in all desirable exercises of High School life. Classmates, we are now at what is to be to us the threshhold of a new era. We are going forth from our scheduled corners on to the high, open road to seek our fortunes, and I feel sure that with the training we have received we all ought to achieve success. Success, what is it? Where shall we look for it? The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you can do without a thought of fame.” Does not every chapter of history tell us of some great man who thought himself a failure, yet whose work was more powerful and useful than any so-called successes of his day? The work of such men lasted because they had that absolute physical and spiritual courage behind them which makes failure impossible. And yet, classmates, is failure not sometimes more admirable than success? Think of the noble young man who suffered seeming dishonor by assuming truest loyalty to his cause, he whose only regret was that he had but one life to lose for his country. Upon our shoulders the affairs of this nation will soon fall, but we must remember that we cannot all be leaders. True—in military and naval victories we hear only of the commanders, although success was readily won by those brave men who went into the fight with no hope of glory and even gave up their lives for a cause. Classmates, if called upon to lead, lead; and if called upon to fight, fight. With these words for the class of I bid you farewell to our principal, our teachers, to the students and our High school. STANLEY BEACH. iflTEYT SHiT ,t ’Twas on a dark, unruly night That as I slept I dreamed I could not write that prophecy For the dear class of T3. I could not write it, though 1 tried For hours and days, nay weeks, I knew not what to prophesy For Downing, Field or Beach. Yea, many others puzzled my brain And I most thot I'd tried in vain. When what should suddenly startle my eyes. But a tiny wee elfin in jester's guise. His merry eyes twinkled and ere 1 could speak, He was perched on the bed rail swinging his feet, And proceeded to tell me the various fates Of my numerous friends and worthy classmates. So, perchance, if this knocks you a little too hard. Makes you feel as you read it perhaps slightly jarred, Remember, dear students, it’s naught but a jest From the lips of a joker, who’s a fool at his best. In a small country village. In a house neat and trim, Live the three country school inarms. Cole, Eldrich, Martin. In this very same town, Front the large (?) general store, Sits the corpulent Davis, While his wares he doth roar. By his side sits his head clerk, James Klumpp is his name, 11 is 1 beg to differ” Has won much local fame. Nearby live two farmers, Nothelfer and Briggs, Who hire as farm hands, Reynolds and Fettig. Floyd Reider and Popp have a vaudeville show. With Miller and Meibeyer in leading role. Adams and Aubry run a millinery store; While Shepard and Davis are both models fair, In the dressmaking parlors of Kenny and Karr. Loehr is a wide-awake real estate man Who, according to Feldmann and Beach, Whom he sold many acres of Lake Michigan, Is a clever and thorough dead beat. Bill Eastman and Schupp are star acrobats. And at every performance you’ll meet The winsome C. Cage and M. Houlihan Hurrying forward to got a front seat. On the main avenue of a goodly sized town Stands the bachelors’ hall, large and imposing. Tis owned by O’Donnell and Hugh Matheson, And their slogan is, “Please gents, no smoking. Nearby is the well-known Loveland Hotel, Wherein matches are made without number. The three latest victims of interest to us. Being K. Schultz, M. Volz and L. Stauber. Ralph Albright and Krause run a dry cleaning shop, And are getting on well by report. L. Koch and McPeak have a boarding house neat Round the corner from Scott’s grocery store. Myrtle Marskey now lives in the far country side, Where she butter does make by the barrel. Marguerite Leaning is married and far West resides And also her friend, Mabel Carrol. Clem Stone is a surgeon, assisted by Smith, Ralph Smith, that’s the one, and 'tis said That while operating on Troy t’other day, By mistake they most cut off his head. R. Leach and M. Brown are both nurses fair, In a hospital in Tennessee; While a tonic for hair with which none can compare Makes the fortunes of Hill and Murphy. E. Klumpp and Field are prima donnas, Engaged at the present, I hear, With a company owned by Glen Smith and Damn, And their chief song is, “Please call me dear.” Robertson is now a star football man ; He plays with the Tigers, you know; While Stan Vorwerck’s band is the best in the land. Though it started but two years ago. Myrtle Myer and Pike fine articles write For a magazine published by Johnson, In which they portray the easiest way For near-old-maids to keep young. Although Smith and Kuehl have both studied Art For years abroad and in this land, Neither one, so I hear, 'tis sad to impart, Has succeeded in drawing a husband. Hilda Rupp and R. Thai are now in New York Where they teach in the slums, so ‘tis said, Louis Essick, a noted professor in Cork. Is of his department the head. Jane Green and Florence Frantom are suffragist queens. And they surely have made themselves heard. Carl Joseph in Washington society’s seen, And it takes him to cause a great splurge. Olive Miller is still a stenographer, one Who seldom can read what she writes. Merle Duryea starts for the North Pole next week On one of his airship speed flights. Howard Eagan, who has a confectioner's store. And as clerks hires Downing and Hill, Sells sodas and such, which, in small quantities, Are most strictly guaranteed not to kill. Duane Draper at Melbourne is getting rich quick, For lie’s running a cracker jack stand, Gerald Seeley, his friend, is at Riverside Park Where’s he's known as the “red-hot” man. Stella Kaufmann and Cross are industrious clerks In Bob Seitner's department store, W here they sell everything from a lumberman’s shirt To a Jasper Electric Lawn-mower. Howard Lee and H. Floyd have a modern shoe store, “To fit feet” is their guarantee: As a side line they gather up old rubber boots For Bill Steckert’s new gum factory. Charlotte Kurtz and E. Marskey a restaurant own. Which is run on the pure food plan: As waitresses there you will find Margaret Meyer And that meek little maid, Charlotte Niven. II. Charvat and Godard a cheese factory run On the outskirts of Frankenmuth town; They employ Forest Baskins to collect the skim milk From the farmers for miles around. Evelyn Mercier is a noted hair dresser now, She has parlors in Kalamazoo. Herbert Oppermann's cook for the “Best Show on Earth, It's that circus of Sanderhoflf’s too. Hazel Kerns, p’raps you know, Is the queen of the ring, In barebacks stunts dreadfully confusing; Karl Wolf is a clown who has won great renown. For his antics are surely amusing. Grace Lucas is spending her time reading palms, I he receipts go for charity’s sake. Esther I Iolland, 'tis said, will be famous some day, I‘'or her novels are commencing to “take.” John Campbell in Bridgeport is village blacksmith. Though he does lack the chestnut tree. Helen Grandy is teaching kindergarten In dear old Tennessee. I’orky Lang is a patent medicine man, It’s an anti-fat tonic he sells; McKenzie’s a silver-tongued auctioneer, “Right this way, all this way,” lie doth yell. Elsie Schmidt’s latest work is a notable one, For a title it has, “Why I Think Flirting’s Fun.” Although Emma Wienke, Anna Brown and Jean Fiddle Have been W. C. T. L members for years, They have not yet succeeded in closing Bay City’s saloons, it appears. As brave engineer on the I’ere Marquette line You will find our old friend. Bill Watson; Sam Happen sells peanuts that he says are fresh On the train between Pontiac and Jackson. Emily McCormick is teacher of Latin In Room “314,” so ’tis said. Laura Luetjohann’s trying to drill algebra Into little green freshmen's heads. Naomi Wolcott gives private French lessons, She learned from Herr Guder, you know. Virginia Winship is travelling now, Though her home is in Idaho. Penny Topham and Ora Wallace pose For a motion picture camera. They are shown at the Shaffer Theatre Where A. Richmond is the leading soprano. Florence Whitney is head bookkeeper For the Whatley insurance concern. Gladys Warner is her able assistant. Though what she does can't be discerned. Lenora Otto’s the leading dancer In Clara Phillips last opera; Amanda Schulz takes part in it. too, She's a widow, and dare not laugh, While Royal Boulton’s a young country lad And goes about leading a calf. Harry Staver’s a prominent banker. In a town down in southern Ohio; Bess Ileilbronn’s his private secretary And there isn't much she doesn’t know. Fred Robinson now is a cowboy Out west in Omaha; lie works on Mabel Hebler’s ranch. Says lie’ll never come back to Saginaw. Bill Stierle is head floor-walker In H. Draper’s ten-cent store, Where Dettenthaler’s been errand boy For over a year or more. Verda Wrege plays the piano, While Mae Mollhagen tries to sing In Chapman's quick lunch restaurant, Where they serve most everything. Nora Bau and Vivian Horning, are militant suffragette They’ve been smashing windows in London But haven’t been caught as yet. Kenneth Clark is a dentist, He pulls teeth without pain; John Young is a noted philosopher Who thinks we could live without rain. Leslie Hughes is going to the Senate this fall; lie’s been living in Calumet. If he keeps up the race as he has begun 1 Ie may be President yet. “There,” said the elf. “’Tis ended; I’ve helped you out of a plight. Now just a word of warning Before I take my flight. If you wish to keep your hair From turning prematurely gray. When there are fates to prophesy You’d better keep out of the way.” I opened my eyes; the storm had passed, The elf had taken flight. Whence? I did not know. Hut the prophecy had come to me over night. Such a long, strenuous period was our Freshman year that it seemed almost without end. Filled with hopeful anticipations, we, the largest class in the history of the school, entered that beneficial institution to assume the duties laid before each of us by which a career was to be made. The sight of the “Sophs,” the mingling with the Juniors, and the thought of the glorious life of the Seniors filled us with awe. Nevertheless, with perfect faith, we chose the following officers to assist in fighting this great battle. President—William Eastman. Vice-President—Catharine Gage. Secretary—Clement Stone. Treasurer—Martha Volz. We chose as our colors “Yellow and White,” suggestive of a cheer- fid and brilliant career. 'File remainder of that verdant year passed quickly and, as a memorial, we hung upon the w'alls of the Manual Training Pudding the famous picture, “Washington at Dorchester I leights. After a long and beneficial rest, came our Sophomore life, bringing with it a deeper feeling of interest than heretofore and acquainting us better with our fellow' citizens of the school city. Soon we selected our class officers, who were: President—Harry Staver. Vice-President—Martha Volz. Secretary—Clement Stone. Treasurer—Catharine Gage. In the early fall, the terrible small pox epidemic came, necessitating the closing of the schools. This obliged us to lose six weeks of our Soph- omore year. The suspense was endured, and after things had bright- ened up and all danger passed, we returned to our labors, in thankfulness that none of our classmates had left us. After school was resumed, the annual Sophomore Spread was plan- ned. its purpose being to better acquaint the students of the class. This feature is long to be remembered as one of the most enjoyable of our school life. President—Stanley Beach. Vice-President—Mildred Browne. Secretary—Howard Lee. Treasurer—Fern Smith. With the above members selected from our class to manage the tasks of our Junior Life, we began this year with great expectations and buoy- ant hopes. It is always the delight of the school, and especially of the Juniors, to learn the names of the students receiving the Junior appointments, which by custom are given the ten students whose work has averaged the highest. In December the appointments were announced and prep- arations were made for the public exhibition which showed the ability of the honored students of whom the class was very proud. Following the usual custom of the school, we gave our Junior Hop, which proved far superior to any efforts of its kind in the history of the school. As we were greatly in need of financial assistance, we presented the “Mischianza” at the Germania in May. This effort proved a great success, and as we neared the end of this school year, plans rapidly progressed for entertaining the Seniors. It was thought most agreeable to have a boat ride on the Steamer Melbourne, a plan which was delight- ful to all. When it came time for the Seniors to seek another life and go out into the world for themselves, we were given tickets to see this impres- sive ceremony, which ushered us into the Senior Year. 'Phe Goal, for which we have sought and labored so long, namely the honor of being a Senior Class, was reached and our lives brightened and were made happier than ever. As we had regarded the Seniors some three years before, so the Freshmen looked up to us with awe and won- der. 'Phe ‘‘Sophs gave us a hopeful glance and the Juniors met us with smiling faces. In the earlier part of our Senior year, the question of the Senior Freshmen Conference arose and was willingly accepted. It followed the plan of the previous class, giving Seniors some responsibility in caring for the wee, distracted Freshmen. We met them usually after the six weeks and semester marks had been made known, so as to en- courage and help them on in their work. Our class officers were chosen as follows: President—Leslie Hughes. Vice-President—Helen Woodruff. Secretary—Duane Draper. Treasurer—Erma Klumpp. A brief account of our lives as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors reminds us of the happiest time in our lives, as we look hack, over the years spent at dear old Saginaw High.

Kastman 1010 Staver 1911 Beach 1012 Hughes 1013 (Ela00 Mill We, the Class of Nineteen-Hundred-Thirteen, of the Saginaw High School being sound in mind on this day and date, the twenty-seventh day of June, in the year of our Lord 1913, do of our own free action, de- clare this to be our last will and testament. Article I. Item 1. To the Juniors, the class of 1914, we regret- fully leave our most beloved session-rooms, which signify the highest stage of development in the Saginaw High School. We sincerely hope that they will enjoy as high an estimation in the minds of the Juniors, as they now enjoy in our minds. We do solemnly caution the Juniors to use them as carefully as they have been used in the past, and we hope that they also will be as inspiring to serious study 'to you, as they have been to us, for a few of us know that they will have the honor of your presence during a period of two years, if much of the aforementioned study is not indulged in freely. Item 2. You, also, dear schoolmates, we, with great joy, leave the sole possessors of our interesting cause in Physics, complete with what will seem to you, an entirely new line of wit and humor, puns, and anec- dotes, originated in the fertile brain of the person who has charge of Room 5, and laboratory H. Butwe hereby make the statement that the dispenser of aforesaid wit and humor, puns and anecdotes will stand for no publishing of his alleged wit and humor, puns and anecdotes in any monthly paper, such as the “Student Lantern,” or other largely circulat- ed medium, because he modestly shrinks from the publicity naturally arising from such action. Item 3. Further, Juniors, we leave to your care, the time-honored horn, gay with the banners of many departed classes. We earnestly hope that your president may be able to blow upon it a blast equal in strength to that of our own leader. But Juniors, we entertain grave doubts on that subject, owing to the immense difference in avoirdupois and lung-power of the two aforementioned honoraries. Further, we trust that you will take good care of it, and not subject it to any more knocks and rough usage than necessary, for it is getting along towards old age, as you all know, and must be handled very carefully, in order to preserve it for future classes. Item 4. Lastly, but not least, we leave you our much-talked-of “Senior Dignity, the which, we trust, you will make use of as frequent- ly as possible, especially in your dealings with the lower classmen. We caution you to get used to the possession of it as quickly as possible, for the length of time you are allowed to use it lasts but ten short months. Let us suggest the best place to display the aforementioned dignity. As you know, you will aid the Freshmen, next year, in the paths of learning by holding certain meetings with them known as “Senior-Freshmen Conference. Your example to the youngsters will be better if you use in these conferences all the “Senior Dignity” over which you hold control, as the Freshmen will envy you your right, and will put forth extra energy in order to be in a position to use it later. Article II. Item 1. For the Sophomores, we only leave our best wishes for your ultimate success in this “School City,” which we know will eventually come, and the right to feel proud aud haughty when it no longer becomes necessary to climb two flights of stairs in order to reach your session rooms. Item 2. Also, Sophomores, you will now' enjoy the much-desired privelege of holding sway at the northerly end of the lower hall before first and sixth hours. Now, we, from the bottom of our hearts, hope that it will not become necessary for the kindly and well-meaning member of the faculty who casts his influence over this territory, to wit: the northerly end of the lower hall, to escort you to your classes by means of a strangle—hold on your haughty personages so that the space in the immediate vicinity of the minors may be passable, because direful re- sults will quickly ensue if the obnoxious practice is persisted in, as is well known from the experience of several malefactors. Article III. Item 1. To you, Freshmen, before reaching our be- quest, we must with very audible anguish, take one thing away from you which you may already think is your life-long privilege, to wit: Your habit of appearing a bright and verdant lawn-color at any time and place where you so will. You must know that this is very unbe- coming in Sophomores, and you would not be able to hold up the hon- ored tradition of the Sophomore class, that of being all-wise, if you did not get bravely over the afore-mentiond habit. Item 2. You will now enjoy life in the high-school building and the pleasure of being called “Upper Classmen” by enterprising Fresh- men. In connection with the high-school building, we must caution you that this building is held sacred and must not be marred in any way whatsoever, either by means of pencil on the walls inside, or by the old, out-of-date numeral painting on the outside face of the school. We are told that people just reaching the time when they are called Sophomores, feel so joyful over that fact, that it at once becomes necessary to vent their spirits on some person or persons, which in polite form is called “hazing.” While there is a well conveniently near, and divers other ways to work off that feeling, we feel it our duty to caution you not to give way to your good feelings in that manner, as it will eventually cause you to be haled into the precincts of our principal's office. SCENES FROM “THE MIKADO Class Poem SAGINAW HIGH. Four years ago we came to you With footsteps light and hearts so true. We entered here a merry band, None better found in any land. Who welcomed us? Old Saginaw High! 1'he years passed by with change of view. Our ranks were broken by a few Who could not brave the trials and strife That all must face in High School life. What saved us? Grand Old Saginaw High! Through all the struggles we have passed. From all our tasks released at last, We go victorious, one and all. No more to pass within your halls Or live the life of Saginaw High ! So for the last time, with a sigh To thee, our dear old Saginaw High, We give our hopes and loyalty. Our praise of thee will never die, 1’ecause we love Old Saginaw High ! CLARA ELRICH. lEn lislj English is a subject that is required in every grade in our High school. To be able to “say what you mean, and mean what you say, to give the exact shade to a contrast, to be precise in comparison, to speak effectively and fluently, and to read thought fuller and with an appreciation of the best in literature, is an accomplishment desired by all. How important, then, is our English which gives us training along these lines! Everyone, I am sure, admires and almost envies a person who can easily grasp the thought of some difficult passage, or can carry on a conversation fluently and with a perfectly calm assur- ance that he is impressing others as he himself is impressed. With some persons it is a natural born gift for them to be able to express their views and opinions concisely, to the point, and with great elo- quence; but, though we may not all be silver-tongued orators, yet all can learn to be thoughtful and to express our thoughts simply and correctly. This accomplishment does not come immediately, but takes practice, patience, and perseverance, and it is this power of correct expression that our English work aims to cultivate. Our English work has been of two kinds; class work, which consist- ed of regular daily recitation; and oral work, or public speaking, to which study hour on Friday is devoted. In our class work, we became familiar with the lives of great authors and their masterpieces. The memory was trained by occasionally learning some passage of special merit. Essays were outlined and written: stories, remarkable in plot, were originated; letter writing, both formal and informal, received our attention. In that delightful first year in the high school, when we were known as “Frolicsome Freshmen,” we studied the life of one of our own most interesting authors, Sir Walter Scott, and enjoyed his “Lady of the Lake immensely. We also learned figures of speech, and became re- markably skilled in distinguishing a metonymy from a synecdoche. More than that, we were very proud, indeed, when we could scan poetry, and at last could tell, without hesitation, blank verse from rhyming couplet. In the happy Sophomore year, when we had the pleasure of call- ing others what we had been called the previous year, we made a more complete study of figures of speech and scanning. We later laughed over Bottom, the Weaver, in Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and became well acquainted with the hurtiorous Touchstone, and at the same time caught a glimpse of the more serious side of life from the moral-making Jacques in As You Like It.” The tragedy of “Julius Caesar we thought was rather deep ot the time, and were glad to “bury Caesar at the end of the period, but, nevertheless, we could also praise him.” We studied the life of George Eliot and read her pleasing acount of the experiences of Silas Marner. The year wras com- pleted with the romantic adventures of the legendary King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. When we became jolly Juniors, it was deemed necessary to refresh our lhemories along the line of English grammar. We certainly needed to review a few fine points in our English language, in order to fully ap- preciate Webster’s, Lincoln’s and Washington’s speeches, which the Juniors worked over with great zeal, wishing, always wishing, that these great men had never made such extraordinary speeches. But we came out of it safely, not sadly, but gladly, and a great deal wiser. The crises had passed. We now began to read that interesting romance, “Ivanhoe, and also Shakespeare's “Henry V’,” and closed the year by taking an In- land Voyage with Stevenson. As grave, dignified Seniors, with “Chaucer’s Pilgrims, we wended our way to Canterbury. Laboriously we worked over the pronounciation and thought, and wete duly rewarded for our energetic studying by the knowledge we gained of the manners and customs of the fourteenth ceil- tury. The Verray Parfit Gentil Knyght,” the Modest Nun, the Well- Fed Friar, and the “The Poure Persoun of a Town. who “Taught hut first lie folwed it him-self, —all these we hope will linger in our memo- ries for years to come. Shakespeare’s tragedies came next, and we fol- lowed the career of the ambitious but wicked Macbeth, and discussed the tragic problems that confronted the too-thoughful Hamlet, hoping that we night never “never suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” Milton’s minor poems proved to he very interesting, in spite of the fact that they required quite a large amount of studying during a few ideal spring days. At last we reached that point in our intellectual development,where we were considered sufficiently trained to grapple with Burke’s famous speech on “Conciliation.” We had been quite pre- pared for the ordeal that confronted us. by the tradition that is handed down from year to year, but we put forth our best efforts and were agree- ably surprised to find it not so difficult after all. We were duly recom- pensed for our labor, by an increased ability to follow an argument logi- cally, and most of all we were rewarded by that for which all Seniors long,—our diploma. I he other phase of our English work was the public speaking to which we devoted one hour each week, study hour on Friday. The dif- ferent grades were divided into sections, usually larger than the daily classes, with a teacher in each acting as critic. Here, too, we use Ham- let s words, we learned to “speak the speech trippingly on the tongue, and to “suit the action to the word, and the word to the action.” The work achieved by the various rhetorical sections, was frequently along the line of work pursued in the general courses. At several of the ninth grade meetings, supplementary work to Ancient History has been done, and in another Greek culture has been studied. Other programs have contained original short stories, reading and declamation contests, while short talks and current events have always been popular. Art was the chief subject in the Sophomore year. Biographies were also studied to a great extent in some sections, while in others, poems, prose selections, and dramatic sketches were chosen as favorite topics. Current events too, as usual proved to be interesting. In the Junior year, similar topics were discussed, and in addition, the sections were favored with a few orations. The Senior rhetorical sections were interested in current events and in that way kept in touch with the outer world, but they also had poems, a few biographies, and prose selections on their programs, and occasion- ally extemporaneous speeches were called for. A debate, now and then, helped to make Friday morning study hour an interesting one. Besides these different sections there were the various societies, the G. C. L. S., the Girls’ American Literary Society, the Thencean. the Ly- ceum and the Junior Girls’ Lyceum. The G. C. L. S. have been making a special study of the different countries and cities, a typical program being as follows: India, China, Japan, Korea. The American Literary Society have been especially interested in current events, but now and then a few debates were taken up. Some topics of special interest that have been given are as follows: Effect of Tariff Cutting on Prosperity. Expedition to the South Pole. President-Elect Wilson’s Dilemma. Producing Shakespeare by Pageants. The Thencean girls were also in favor of current events, and good musical programs, and even preferred them to debates. The following is one of their very interesting programs on current events. I low Moving Pictures are Made. The Passion Play at Oberammergau. Revolt in Mexico. Parcel Post. The Junior Girls’ Lyceum showed a preference for the study of art. One of their most interesting programs was as follows: The Louvre Art Gallery at Paris. The World’s Twelve Most Famous Pictures. The Dresden Art Gallery. The Sistine Madonna. The most interesting and attractive pastime of the Lyceum, was to discuss different topics that are of vital interest to them, such as the ad- visability of allowing girls to join the Lyceum, or the absurdities of Woman’s Suffrage. We cannot tell just at present, how much good has been gained from our public speaking. Old Father Time only, can show us how many Websters, Washingtons, Lincolns and Burkes we have in the class of T:5. When in the future we see some of the graduates of the class as success- ful doctors, lawyers, professors, reporters and business men, we can realize what has been accomplished by our public speaking. In after years as we review the experiences of our high school life, and when 1J) 1 :i is only a fond remembrance of our past trials and happiness, let us hope that the Public Speaking and the English work of our dear old Saginaw High may still continue and prosper. Oh, English, dear English, thy work at last is done, Some pupils have gone forth and found that fame could not be won. But of the class of ’1:5, those who cannot win are few, And they will say their laurels are all mostly due to you. OLIVE H. MILLER. Superstitions. One might think that in this period of the world, when the educa- tion and intelligence of the individual counts for as much as it now does, there would he no trace of superstition to he found. And the fact that it does exist, in the minds of the educated as well as in the minds of the uneducated, makes it doubly hard for us to understand the reason for it. Hut there is good and had in all things, and superstitions are not ex- cepted. The lives of many a poor old couple have been made brighter after seeing a cluster of bubbles in their coffee. For do they not beleve that money is coming to them? The money may seem slow in coming, but they never lose faith in the old superstition. Many would not pass by a pin on the sidewalk. They are sure to have good luck if they pick it up.. Does not this superstition seem most strange? If you “Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger; Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger; Sneeze on Wednesday, get a letter; Sneeze on Thursday, something better; Sneeze on Friday, sneeze to your sorrow; Sneeze on Saturday, company tomorrow.” Many an old maid will scramble for the last slice of bread on the plate, for she thinks then her days of single blessedness are numbered, and she will soon be the proud wife of a handsome or a five thousand dollar husband. She may tire of counting the days in waiting for her knight to come, but her faith remains unshaken. Dropping the scissors, a needle, the dishcloth or a fork, indicate an unexpected visitor. If the needle slants as it stands up in the crack of thefloor, it foretells a gentleman. Just as an opal is said to bring tad luck, a four-leaf clover or a horse-shoe is said to bring good luck. A certain man was known to walk more than a block out of his way to avoid meeting a black cat. He thought bad luck would surely come to him if he passed it. An old New England farmer was telling a visitor of his faith in signs and superstitions. These are some of the signs he believes in. He said. “If our dog comes into the house and puts his head under the mat, I’m certain sure there's goin' to be a cold snap, and it comes every time.” “Between twelve and two You can tell what the day will do.” It may cloud up or clear off later in the night, but the day will be what it was between twelve and two. “When the wind dies down at sunset it will blow again the next day.” “A thunderstorm isn't good for eggs that are under a hen hatching. The chickens are apt to he crazy.” “Don't cut a twig to string your fish on until you catch your first fish. If you do you won't catch any.” W hen you see the first robin in the spring, notice whether it Hies up or down. If it Hies up you will have good luck during the year; but if it Hies down you will have bad luck.” “Never carry a cat across running water if you want to have good luck. It will ruin your life. You might just as well take a dose of deadly poison and be done with it.” “If a spicier drops clown before you it is a sign you are going to have company.” “To upset your teacup is a sign that a stranger is coming to call ’ “If you see the new moon through the branches of a tree, you will see sorrows.” One might well wonder how the old man avoided the ill luck omens. Perhaps he had some charm or remedy to drive ill luck away which he did not care to tell the visitor about. The rich and well-to-do dread thirteen at the table—the result of a superstition which goes back to the Last Supper, where one was a traitor. Many, in moving, will not carry away a broom; while many count it unlucky to take the family cat with them to a new home. A certain woman was very angry when she discovered that her wed- ding ring had been removed from her finger during a severe illness. She was afraid bad luck would come to her. An ignorant backwoodsman might try to ward off rheumatism with horsechestnuts or by wearing a band of copper wire about his wrist, and we would think that it was due to the lack of education that made him believe in such ridiculous things; but when a man of education and seeming intelligence does such things we are apt to attribute it to some disease of the mind of which he is unaware. So now let us all endeavor to persuade our fellow-beings that these are but idle fancies, that our posterity may grow up in a land glorious and great, and free from superstition. JEAN LIDDLE. The Heart of a Girl. She had appeared from no one knew where. And so quiet and deb- onaire and unassuming was her manner that few. if any. of the other girls had given her much consideration nor regarded her beyond the fact that she was a veritable Venus in face and Athena in form. Still, even though possessing these rare gifts of Nature, with which she might read- ily and easily have unbarred the gates of society and have become a genuine favorite, she chose rather to stay by herself. And naturally, as is always the case, whispers and winks and sly glances followed, and inquisitive bodies began to buzz. This fair young goddess boarded not far from the school, in which she had been just recently entered, with a certain Mrs. Winston. Two years pass on! Rumor, which sped with such frenzy at first, seemed weak and exhausted, for few questions were asked, less whispers were heard, and new thoughts filled the minds of old gossip-mongers. One thing, nay tw’o, did the kind Mrs. W inston know of this girl,—that she always had plenty of money to spend, though she was never extravagant and that a more thoroughly honorable person than Agnes Armstrong never lived. This was in her Junior year. Now the gladsome, happy springtime came, awakening Nature and seeming literally to pour wondrous treasures from Nature’s vast store- house. The days of much excitement were near; the hours for many plans hovered close, and the busy moments of graduation w'ere not far in the distance. But in these Agnes did not participate. Her eyes, seemed never to light up and beam with youthish pleasure as did other girls of her own age. Somehow there seemed to be a heavy burden weighing down upon her soul, holding her spirit captive. Some of those who were inclined to pity this strange-acting comrade of theirs, and had condescended to he interested in her affairs and had connived and invent- ed all sorts of schemes to get her to lay the story of her life bare to them were met with constant rebuff, and had given up finally in despair. Jokes and sarcasm had been heaped upon her, but with a quiet indiffer- ence she seemed to overlook them, although perhaps those very remarks which the countenance failed to reveal, the heart felt keenly. Strange as it may seem, with her aversion for those of her own sex, due to the fact that she loved seclusion rather than frivolity, or because the exuberance of younger yeats had departed from her, Agnes held many a conversation, and many a pleasant chat with the kind, serious- faced young fellow who lived just across the way. Charles Hammond asked no questions, and they really enjoyed each other's company. She had met him and become indebted to him for his kindness shown at the time when she had turned her ankle and had required his assistance, which he rendered like a true knight of old. “Oh, by the way, Miss Armstrong. burst out Charles as they took their way homeward one bright afternoon, 1 have a friend coming to me from New Jersey. His name, or handle as the fellows all say, is Ceorge Hamilton. You know lie had to give up his college for a time, he's in such poor health. Poor fellow, been studying too hard, and he needs a rest. I hat's why lie's coming down here, and lie's just the sort you’ll be sure to like, even though lie is full of fun and life. Agnes did not reply. This information given with such animation at thought of such a pleasant companion, fell on listless ears. If this had been imparted to .Yell Goodby or Martha Nolan or Harriet Smythe, ah! that would have been an event. What plans for entertaining so royal a guest would have been made! Not so Agnes, she manifested no sign of interest. Strange girl. Toot! Toot! The last warning shriek sounded as the train had wheezed slowly into the station amidst the hissing of steam and grind- ing of brakes. George Hamilton, tall and somewhat thin, stepped quickly to the platform. “Hello, old man! So glad to see you. Why you don’t look bad, except your cheeks are a bit hollow,” came from Hammond. “Here, meet my friends, 1 ve brought along to see you and make you welcome,” and thus did Charles friend from Xew Jersey make his entrance. It was not many days before the new guest had added a host of friends, to his already long list, by his genial smile and happy disposition. “What a funny girl that Miss Agnes—let’s see, what’s her last name?—oh, yes. Armstrong, is Charlie,” said Hamilton one night as the two were together. And yet really I like her the best of all the girls.” Ha, ha! He careful old chap. I'm afraid you’ll do something desperate if you don't,” laughed the other. “Shouldn’t wonder but that I might, was the reply. And it was true that it was not long before George Hamilton was trying a dangerous stunt. I hat stunt was none other than attempting to persuade Miss Agnes to attend the Junior-Senior picnic. At first she rebelled and flatly refused. Hut then it was that Charlie's friendship came in handy, for she finally gave consent at his urgent request. I he gala day arrived. Everyone seemed to catch the spirit of the game. Gay banners waved. Sprightly Misses ami felicitous lads romped and played to their heart’s content. Why do you so seldom take any recreation?” inquired George of Agnes as they strolled about. “Do you find no pleasure in it?” Indeed, 1 like a goodly share of it. Hut then 1 am too busy for much pleasure such as this.” Don t you think you are taking life too seriously?” Perhaps so.” came back the words with a little smile, “but then,— oh well, we don't all see things the same, you know.” I rue indeed are your words, very true” answered Hamilton. I he hours passed in serious, and yet pleasing conversation and the golden sun was jnst casting its last flood of rich color across the hea- vens as the party came to a close. In twos and threes they took their several ways homeward wearied by their exertions but happy in the thought that the day had been a profitable one. One of the groups especially did not understand, as the members conversed together, how “that splendid George Hamilton could possibly be infatuated with Agnes. He such a jolly good fellow and she such a quiet, unemotional thing. They had told him over and over again that there was nothing that she could do,—neither dance, skate, row, swim, play golf nor any of the innumerable other necessary and very essential acquirements. At first, George took the advice rather in a humorous fashion and was inclined to think that it was simply a secret bit of jealousy at work in tbe hearts of the girls. So it happen- ed as they walked slowly onward that these thoughts came back to him and he realized that this was but tbe first time that he had accompanied her, but still he wanted to know. Is it true, Miss Ag— ah, er—Armstrong, this stuff they tell me about you not knowing how to rowr, or skate; all those things most girls love to do?” The question was no sooner asked that lie w'as aware of having touched a soft spot and he was immediately penitent, though just too late. Her face saddened and flushed. She was decidedly ill-at-ease. “Please, please take me home,” she half-sobbed to herself. “They don’t understand. They never can. No one must know'.” Almost instantly after the feeling had passed, she brightened. Ham- liton swallowed his apology he was about to utter, thinking to drop that subject the better policy. At length the neat, comfortable dwelling of Mrs. Winston was reached. A “good night was hastily spoken; the door closed; and Ham- ilton, alone with his thoughts, hurried toward his friend's home. What coursed through his brain that early evening, he never toid, and so we can only guess. The morning had hardly dawned, and the glorious sun gotten well on its course ere a surprise from a messenger was handed at the door of Charles Hammond’s home marked “for Mr. George Hamilton.” Quckly the receiver tore the outside wrapping off, and lo! what a sight was revealed! All the friends of yesterday dancing, golfing, swimming, rowing, skilfully,—nay marvelously sketched in caricature. Never had his eyes feasted on anything quite so clever. He laughed heartily, and then mused—so that was what she could do. “What a fool I was! What a mean low-down fool I was,” muttered George, between his teeth. “Poor girl. How she felt that remark! Well, I'm mighty sorry in one way. but then—hang it, I’m mighty glad too that what she can do is worth more than all those other things put to- gether. when it comes right down to actual fact. Thus he mused to himself. 1 wo weeks more passed. The time of George Hamilton’s visit was drawing to a close. He had asked her for another sketch, one just for himself. She had readily assented, but on the morrow he was to leave, and no picture had come, lie wondered whether she had forgotten.— hut no, he believed she’d keep her promise. The hour of departure was near. Slowly the minutes ticked past, llis friends had gathered to see him off at the station. Some how one seemed missing, lie looked in vain for a girl he had learned to love so well. She was not here. The engine steamed laboriously in. It stopped but a moment. “All aboard the signal sounded. The train pulled slowly out. A lad breathless with running, bearing a roll beneath his arm, almost fell upon Hamilton as he jumped quickly aboard amid the cheers of his friends. He, too, could smile now. For his picture had come. Shortly after, comfortably settled for his journey, his heart thump- ing so loudly against his ribs that he gazed horror-stricken into the faces of those around him to see whether they noted it, he divested this pack- age of its wrappings. A little note dropped out. It read: Dear George: 1 never called you that before, hut now that you are gone 1 want you to know how I feel 1 y looking at the picture 1 have given you.” Hamilton glanced at the drawing. There he saw an exquisite pro- duction of a young girl seated by a window, gazing far away into space, seeming to long and yearn for some—one,— lonely and alone. And lie understood, for he was a man ! “I didn't go to the station to see you off, because I thought it best that I should not. But I want you always to know that I—I—I have learned to miss you. You are the only one who understands me, and you have been a good friend and a true companion to me. I may never see you again, but I’ll never forget. Good-bye. Good-bye, AGNES.” Ten years had passed. George Hamilton was what the world calls a successful man. He was a man worthy of his profession. Just as in former years, so now from a social standpoint he was a general favorite in whatever circle he moved. A man of irreproachable character, kind, affable, generous, and friendly, his companions alwrays wondered why he never married. He enjoyed the company and society of women, and many a girl would have been glad of the opportunity. But no one asked him, and people generally supposed that he was still working out his career and that a few more years at best would find him married and settled down. So far as the great lawyer himself was concerned, none could tell whether he ever gave the subject any thought or not. Still oft-times in the quiet seclusion of his own retreat, with all the busy world shut out. before the glowing fire place, he would dream dreams; and always before his eyes would appear the face of a girl peering out in tlie distance, seeming to long and yearn for some—one,—lonely and alone. And then her arms would be wide out-stretched, and the rosy lips would seem to move, and words to say “Come.” He would start from this dream time after time with the question “Where is she now? Why had she never answered his letters? Or perhaps she never receiv- ed them.” Many charming women crossed his path, but somehow the sweet-faced, melancholy girl of the past held first place in his heart. It happened one evening that in recovering from one of his dreamy spells, Hamilton picked up some letters which he had not had time nor opportunity to read during the day. One was from a former classmate. It stated that now he was running for Governor of the State of M---- and expressed the desire of having his “old-time-pal near him for a few' days, as he considered his advice valuable. It further stated that al- though waiter knew Hamilton to he a busy man, he trusted that it would he his good pleasure to grasp, in hearty handshake, his friend’s palm. The letter made him think. He was a busy man. Very busy. He was working too hard. He was tired, too. A long time had elapsed since he had allowed himself the luxury of a few days respite from his arduous tasks. Yes, he did need a rest. He would go. and visit his friend. At least the change would do him good. Accordingly, another week found Hamilton in the town of C------- warmly grasping his friend’s hand. Old times were recalled and then F.dmond Blackwell made known his plans and expectations. “Do you know, old chap, everything looks fine for my carrying off the fleece,—and yet sometimes the chances seem against me,” said Blackwell to his friend after they had lighted cigars and were safely closeted in the former’s cozy office. Why, what seems to disturb you, answered Hamilton? “Well, it’s just like this. There have been several very destructive caricatures depicting my character in a weekly paper lately. From their success, my. chances look slim sometimes. The lawyer puffed furious- ly on his Havana. Have you any of them here with you? “You bet I have. I’ll get them right off,” spoke Blackwell rising. In a moment he returned bearing several newspapers in his hand. “Here you are,” thrusting them toward his old-time companion. “What in thunder,” shouted George, “Who is responsible for these?” “Blamed if I know, they’re not signed and the heads of the paper are so infernally tight, I’ve not been able to find out yet,” answered the other. Hamilton felt that he recognized those sketches. He then noting carefully the place of the management, handed the paper back to his friend. “Mighty clever at that,” smiled Hamilton. “By the way how far is N---- from here. I’ve a bit of business down there.” “Oh, not more than an hour’s ride or so,” replied Blackwell. Well, I’ll be off.” With that they parted for the time being. An hour's ride brought the lawyer to the city of M----. His first act was to secure the directory. Immediately he turned to the “A’s.” Satisfied with his search, he rushed frantically off down the street, -stopping at length before an exceedingly neat and pleasant looking cot- tage. He knocked gently at the door, his heart responding. “Is Miss Armstrong in,” he asked in answer to the summons. “Yes, sir,” came the reply from the servant. “Please step in.” It was a room in excellent taste that Hamilton found himself in. In the center a massive table, upon which the books were carefully arranged, stood while around the walls reposed comfortable chairs in military array. He dropped quickly into one of these. A rustling of dresses caused Hamilton to jump to his feet. Her parting words, “I—I—I— have learned to miss you,” came rushing upon him. Did she still miss him? In a moment he would know. What followed, as the queenly woman, Agnes, stepped into the room we leave you, kind reader, to imagine. We only know that a great, big shining tear glistened on her beaming face as together they bent over a paper. The date was twelve years previous. The item told of the death of Mrs. Armstrong, an American artist in an insane asylum. Then it was that a veritable torrent of words intermingled with sobs, poured forth. She told him of her seclusions at school, of all her hard- ship, worry and struggle, of how she had grieved, and longed to be like other girls, and yet—she wanted to go far away wdiere she would never have to speak of this. She herself had inherited her mother’s talent, and it was by this means that she had earned her livelihood. She it was that had pictured his friend’s inmost life. He realized now wdiy she had been always reticent, why so sensi- tive in speaking of past days. But he admired, he adored, he loved her pluck and her determination. Their eyes met! “You won’t need your position any more now, Agnes,” he laughed. “At any rate it’s hard on my friend, and I must do him a good turn when I get such a chance.” She only smiled. But what words of meaning shone out of her laughing eyes, only a lover knows. Hamilton was a lover. He knew. “Promise me not to draw any more pictures of my friend, Agnes?” “I sup—pose so.” With the words scarcely out of her lips, he caught her in his arms, and lifted her high into the air. She came down laughing with sheer joy. I must tell my old Blackwell the good news, and with a long- drawn out farewell, he was off. “Well, old man, I’ve news for you. “Out with it, quick. What is it? almost groaned the candidate for governor, as his friend rushed into his office. “There’ll be no more pictures in the papers of you any more.” And then he told the whole story. “Well of all things,” and Blackwell slapped his knee loudly. After a few moment’s conversation they parted. sfc sjc % sje There is little more to say. The election is over and Blackwell has won ; thanks to his friend’s helpful aid. A happy couple have agreed to walk life’s road together. Together they are to bear the joys as well as the ills that come, the pain as well as the pleasure. Each morning they smile into each other’s face, and the smile knits them firmly together. Each evening sees them thankful for the opportunities of the day that has past. And so together until the sun shall set in the evening of life’s day, they shall walk in peace and happiness to the music of hearts in tune. LENORE OTTO. ■-w-w-v.v The Catilinarian Conspiracy ROME 65-63 B. C. Lucius Sergius Catiline was a Roman noble and the leader in the conspiracy known by his name. He appears first in history as a sup- porter of Sulla and during the proscription was conspicuous for his greed and cruelty. 1 le slew his inoffensive brother-in-law with his own hands, and was suspected of killing his wife and son. His bodily consti- tution, which was capable of enduring any amount of hardship—allied to a mind which could stoop to every baseness—qualified him to take the lead in this conspiracy which made his name infamous to all ages. Although he indulged in all forms of vice from his youth, he became praetor for 68 11. C., and served as governor of Africa in 7 15. C. The next year, he was a candidate for consulship but was disqualified on account of certain accusations brought against him, of his bad manage- ment in his province. Disappointed in this ambition and burdened with many debts, he saw no way out of his difficulties except by a political revolution. Therefore he entered into a conspiracy which included many other young Roman nobles who were greatly like himself in morals and circumstances. The new consuls were to be murdered on January 1. The plan was delayed until February 5, when the plot failed because Catiline gave the signal too quickly. Then his scheme grew wider. The city was to be fired, all who opposed the revolution to be slain, all debts cancelled, and there was to be a proscription of all the wealthy citizens. Among the conspirators were many men of first rank and influence. By 63 B. C., Cicero had given so impressive a warning of the threatening danger that Catiline was again rejected as consul. He now resolved upon open war; preparations were set on foot throughout Italy- On the night of November 6, lie and his comrades met in the house of Marcus Laeca. Here the plans were looked over and were declared to be perfect. When Catiline said that Cicero was the only person who might be able to thwart his plan, Lucius Vargunteius, a senator, and Gains Cornelius, a knight, offered to get him out of the way. During the night, Cicero heard of the meeting and their plan to murder him. Consequently, when these two men called on him in the morning, they were unable to gain admittance. On November 8, Cicero called a meeting of the senate in the temple of Jupiter Stator. Catiline was present; Cicero, alarmed at his audacity, burst forth with: Cat. I, lines 1-9. “Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? Quem diu etiam furor iste tuus non elu- det? Quem ad finem sese aifren- ata iactabit audacia? Nihiline te nocturnum praesidium Palati, ni- hil urbis vigiliae, nihil timor popu- li, nihil concursus bonorum om- nium, nihil hic munitissimus hab- endi senatus locus, nihil horum ora vultusque moverunt? Patera tua consilia non sentis? Constrictam “How long pray, O Catiline, will you take advantage of our forbear- ance? How long will that frenzy of yours make sport of us? To what end will that unbridled bold- ness display itself? Did not the night guard of the Palatine, did not the watchmen of the city, nor the fear of the people, nor this as- sembly of all the patriots, nor this most fortified place of holding the senate, nor the expression on the iam omnium horum scientia teneri faces of these men move you at coniurationem tuam non vides?” all? Do you not see that your plans are known? Do you not know that your plot is held and bound fast by the knowledge of all these men?” At the close of Cicero’s fierce tirade, Catiline tried to justify him- self, but the crowd would not listen. That night he fled to Etruria. Next day, November 9, Cicero expressed his joy over Catiline’s de- parture in his address to the people from the Rostra, with these opening words: Cat. II, lines 9-22. “Atque hunc quidem unum huius belli domestici ducem sine controversia vicimus. Non enim iam inter latera nostra sica illa versabitur, non in campo, non in foro, non in curia, non denique in- tra domesticos parietes pertimes- cemus. Loco ille motus est, cum est ex urbe depulsus. Palam iam cum hoste nullo impediente bel- lum geremus. Sine dubio perdidi- mus hominem magnificeque vici- mus, cum illum ex occultis insidiis in apertum latrocinium coniecimus. Quod vero non cruentum mucro- nem, ut voluit, extulit, quod vivis nobis egressus est, quod ei ferrum et manibus extorsimus, cpiod in- columes cives, quod stantem ur- “And we have overcome this one leader of this internal war beyond question. For, now no more, will that dagger be busy about our sides; not in the Campus Martius, not in the forum, not in the senate house, and finally not within the walls of our homes shall we have to be afraid. He was forced from his vantage-ground when he was driven from the city. Openly shall we wage war now, upon the ene- my, with no one to hinder. We certainly ruined the fellow and de- feated him splendidly, when we forced him from hidden plots into open brigandage. But as for the fact that he has not carried away his sword dipped in our blood, as hem reliquit, quanto tandem ilium maerore esse adflictum et profliga- tum putatis?” he wished, that he has gone forth while we still lived, that we wrenched his sword from his hands, that lie has left us citizens safe and the city standing, with what great grief do you think he is now overwhelmed and cast down?” The imprudence of the conspirators helped also to bring about their downfall. Deputies from the Allobroges, who had been sent to Rome to get redress for certain grievances, were urged to join the conspiracy. At first, they hesitated about what to do. and then decided to disclose the plot to Cicero. In accordance with an agreement made with him. they pretended to he very interested in the conspiracy. They promised that on their way hack to Caul they would stop and consult Catiline himself. Lentulus entrusted a letter for Catiline to the Allobroges and also to Volturcius, who accompanied the deputies. When hut two miles north of Rome, at tile Mulvian bridge, they were overtaken by soldiers sent by Cicero. After a pretense of resistance, they handed over the documents and returned to Rome, l.efore the news spread. Cicero sum- moned Lentulus and others of the conspirators to the temple of Con- cord where the Senate was meeting on this day. Here he forced con- fessions from some of the conspirators and laid before the senate proof that could in no way be doubted. Among these proofs was the letter from Lentulus to Catiline, without a signature to be sure, but in his own hand-writing and sealed with his own seal which bore the portrait of his grandfather. It was as follows: Cat. III. “Quis sim, scies ex eo, quern ad te misi. Cura, ut vir sis, et cogita, quem in locum sis progressus. Vide quid tibi iam sit necesse, et Who I am, you shall know from him whom I have sent to you. 1'ake care, that you be a man, and remember how far you have gone with tliis plan. Understand what is now necessary for you to do and he sure to get the assistance of all, even of the slaves.” I On December 3, the Senate met to decide on the punishment of the prisoners. As the Senate was undecided whether to sentence the pri- soners to life-imprisonment or to immediate death, Cicero rose and de- livered his fourth oration against Catiline, which closed with this invo- cation to the senators to do their duty fearlessly: cura, ut omnum tibi auxilia adiun- gas, etiam infimorum.” Cat. IV. “Quapropter de summa salute vestra populique Romani, de ves- tris coniugibus ac liberis, de aris ac focis, de fanis atque templis, de totius urbis tectis ac sedibus, de imperio ac libertate, de salute Ita- liae, de universa re publica decern- ite deligenter, ut instituistis, ac fortiter. Habetis eum consulem, qui et parere vestris decretis non dubitet, et ea, quae statuerites, quoad vivet, defendere et per se ipsum praestare possit.” “Therefore now, concerning your greatest safety and that of the Roman people, concerning your wives and your children, the altars and hearths, shrines and temples, buildings and dwellings of the whole city, concerning your government and your freedom, concerning the safety of Italy, and the entire state, decide carefully, as you have already begun, and bravely. You have him for con- sul, wdio does not hesitate to com- ply wdth your resolutions, and who is able to defend those measures which you shall have adopted, as long as he lives, and to perform his duty by his own unaided ef- forts.” The senators voted to execute the prisinors. Although it was un- constitutional, since they had no power over the life and death of a Roman citizen without giving him the chance to appeal to the people, they had Lentulus and others of the conspirators strangled to death in a dungeon on the slope of the Capitoline hill. Early in January of the next year, Catiline saw his army nearly sur- rounded, and rushing into the front rank and fighting with the utmost courage, was slain. So perished, by a base death, one who, on account of his bravery and power over men, was well qualified for a leader. Had his wonderful abilities been used for the good of the state, the history of Rome might have been very different, and his name would have been honored and respected, instead of infamous and degraded. EMILY McCORMICK. Marie - Antoinette. L'histoire de Marie-Antoinette est vraiment interessante. Tout lc monde a appris quelquechose de sa beaute, de sa bravoure, de son mal- lieur et de sa mort tragique. Sa mere, Marie Therese etait line grande souveraine, line femme dune male intelligence. Son reve cheri etait d'unir sa fille, Marie- Antoinette, avec le Dauphin, petit-fils de Louis eV et successeur a la couronne frangaise. Marie-Antoinette Josephe Jeanne de Hapsburg-Lorraine, archi- duchesse de 1'Autriche et reine future de la France, est nee. le 2 novem- bre, 1755, tin an apres la naissance du Dauphin. Des son enfance meme on la preparait attentivement pour la position sociale a la cour frangaise, |iie sa mere s'efforcait a atteindre pour elle. Surtout elle apprit la cor- recte pronunciation de la langue frangaise, mais autrement son education lut ties imparfaite. Le contrat de mariage avec le Dauphin fut fait quand elle n'eut que quatorze ans. Le 21 janvier, 1770, elle regut l’an- neait nuptial, envoye par le Dauphin. Le 1!) avril, la ceremonie de mariage eut lieu, l’archiduc Maxi- milien, representant le Dauphin, comme mandataire. La jeune prin- cesse dut passer trois jours en meditation et en priere. Alors vint la separation finale de sa mere. Non settlement la mere et la famille furent extremement touchees, mais toute la ville j laignit la perte de la fille bril- lantc, qui etait aimee par tout le monde. On la regut tres hicn a la corn frangaise et chacun admira la nouvelle Dauphine, et la trouva tres jeune et tres jolie, mais un pen enfantine. Le Dauphin ne fut pas demon- stratif, mais il avoua que sa figure et sa conversation etaient attractives; qu’elle etait tres agreable et il fut hien content. Ses nombreux portraits font voir ses nobles traits, sa brillante couleur, ses beaux cheveux d’or, sa maniere charmante et sa dignite remarquable. Sa demeure etait au premier etage du palais, ou une suite de chain- bres somptueuses, donnant sur la Galerie des (daces, devouees a son usage. Sa vie a la corn etait heureuse, bien qu’elle fut entouree par des ennemis. Le 28 avril, 1771, le roi sentit les premiers symptomes de maladie et bicntot developpa un cas serieux de petite verole. Scion une maxime de la loi frangaise, le roi ne meurt jamais. Ainsi, quand le pre- mier medicin announca solennellement, “Messieurs, le roi est mort,” la reponse de tous les assistants, selon la coutume honoree de tout temps, fut, “Vive le roi,” et le nouveau roi, et la nouvelle reine adopterent leurs nouveaux devoirs. On ne pent pas imaginer un plus grand contraste, que celui existait entre ces deux, la reine comme nous l'avons decrite, et le roi, avec les mains rudes, une demarche lourde, les cheveux en de- sordre, un gros rire et une voix rude. 11 bait les heures tardives et la mondaine dissipation, tandis que la reine en avait besoin sans cesse. Un continuel tourbillon d’amusements etait necessaire, et on la critiquait librement pour ses actions frivoles. Ses fautes en qualite de reine,—et dans ce siecle—la ils etaient fatales—eeaient un leger amour de plaiser, de banquets et de belles robes, une indifference a l’opinion publique. Elle etait mal comprise et haie par le menu peuple, et en quelques occasions elle essaya a gagner leur faveur, mais elle ne reussit pas, parcequ'on crut qu’elle intriguait avec les pouvoirs etrangers. Le roi et la reine se trouverent forces a abondonner leur j ay et ils s'enfuirent; mais on les reconnut et les arreta avant qu'ils arrivassent a la frontiere. Lbie foule donna l’assaut aux Tuileries, le 10 aout, assassina les gardes de la reine devant la porte de sa chambre, et fit prisonniers tous les deux au Temple. Le 20 janvier, 1793, son mari fut execute. En aout cle cet an, Marie-Antoinette fut separee de ses enfants, privee de ses souvenirs, de quelques boucles de cheveux de son mari et de ses en- fants, de quelques portraits de ses amis; mais on lui permit de retenir son mouchoir et son flacon d’essence. Elle fut transferee a une pire prison, la Conciergerie, pour y rester jusqu’a sa mort. Ce fut un grand changement, de sa vie, autrefois si brillante, quand elle fut obligee d’habiter tine prison affreuse, dont les horreurs, qu’elle partageait avec les plus bas criminels, s'augmentaient de jour en jour. Ainsi la charette, |tti arrivait a la porte tons les jours, pour porter des victimes a la guil- lotine, fut presque regardee comme un soulagement. Mais cjuelque mis- erable que fut la condition de Marie-Antoinette, son attitude continua d'etre cede dune reine. Ses traites furent encore fermes, sa mine hau- taine, et ses cheveux, qui s etaient blanchis en pen de temps, furent con- verts d un bonnet d'une veuve ordinaire. Une image pathetique! Sa robe fut tres usee, mais Rosalie, une jeune servante de la prison, qui etait tres devouee a la reine, la reparait souvent et bien. I.e temps s’ecoula lentement. Deux essais faits de la sauver, fail- lirent. Pres de la (in de sa vie, elle etait otee a une plus petite et plus sombre cellule souterraine. L'n nouveau geolier, Bault, fut installe, qui la pourvut de bonne nourriture et de nouvelles de sa famille. I 11 jour, quand Rosalie traversa la cour de la prison avec un verre dean, dans lequel la reine avait bu, elle fut accostee par un honinie, cpii lui demanda le privilege de boire le reste. Otant le chapeau avec lc plus grand respect, il se mit a genoux et but. Dans une autre occasion, quel- ques prisonniers prierent d'embrasser les bottines de la reine. que Rosa- lie brossa, parceque la reine (par sa conduite dans la prison) avait gagnee 1 admiration de tout le monde. Plus tarde, le proces de la reine com- menda. Il fut une farce, mais une scene tragique au menie temps. II n'y eut cjue deux chandelles stir le pupitre du greffier du tribunal; la jeune prisonniere resta debout, dans sa robe noir, et le bonnet blanc. Elle fut accusee d'une infinie chaine de crimes, fut declaree coupable, et con- dammee a mourir. Elle etait la plus tranquille parmi les assistants, ne deployant pas d emotion. Depuis cjue la sentence fut hie, elle etait tres calme. Ses mains furent liees derriere son dos, chose extraordinaire, avant qu’elle arriva a la guillotine. Elle hesita quand elle vit la charette, parcequelle pensa avoir la protection d'une voiture fermee. Elle prit sa place avec un calme parfait et un air determine, et la charette partit, suivie par une foule, immense mais silencieuse. La guillotine etait (Lessee (levant une statue de la liberte; et Marie- Antoinette prit sa place, allant vite et refusant toute aide. Elle fut at- tachee a la planche et son fichu deplace pour |u’il ne put pas retarder Taction du couteau. Avec un mouvement de la tete, elle dta le bonnet et se prepara pour le coup fatal. L’executeur montra la tete a la populace. Les spectateurs furent cffrayes par Texpression du visage et des veux, cjui semblaient regarder la foule, avec un ardent etonnement, comme si une merveilleuse vision etait revelee. Quelques minutes apres midi, toutes ses souflfrances furent finies. HELEN GRANDY. Das Nibelungenlied. Singe, wem Gesang gegeben, In deni deutschen Dichterwald; Da ist Freude, da ist Leben, Wenn’s von alien Baumen scliallt! So ruft voll holier. Begeisterung der traivte Dichter Uhland aus, der selbst soldi schone Beitrage zur Literatur misers Volkes geliefert. Es liaben vide vor ihm mid nacli ihm gesnngen mid lierrliche Schatze der I’oesie der Nachwelt hinterlassen. Ein Blick in die reichhaltige Ge- schichte Gerinaniens mid ilirer Literatur zeigt alsbald. wie erliaben iiber viele andere, wie einzigartig mid uniibertroffen sie dasteht. Zu den Perlen der Dichtungen alter Zeiten ist das Nibelungenlied zu zalilen—das Volksepos, dariiber Gotlie urteilt: “Die Kenntnis dieses Gedichtes gcliort zu einer Bildungsstufe der Nation. Jedermann sollte es lesen, damit er nacli dem Masse seines Vermogens die Wirkung da von empfange.” Gewiss tun aucli wdr vvohl daran, zur Fortbildung im Deutschen diesem Heldengedicht unsere Aufmerksamkeit zu sclien- ken. Dazu mochte dieser bescheidene Beitrag zur “Aurora die freund- iichen Leser erniuntern. Das Nibelungenliecl gehort wie das Gudrunlied dem 12. Jahr- hundert an. Sein Inhalt fiihrt wcit zuriick in die Geschichte der alten Germanen und in eine wundervolle Welt der'Sage und Mythe. Helden und Heldinnen, edle Ritter, tapfere Recken und Degen in Kampf und Spiel vverden uns vorgefiibrt. Hire Taten und Reden sind feurig, ihre Freuden und Leiden vvirken bald anziehend und lieblich, bald er- greifend und erschiitternd. Aber der Raum gestattet nicht, (lass wir tief in den Inhalt des grossen Gedichtes gehen, noch weniger, dass wir die Geschichte seiner Entstehung mehr beschreiben. Wir wollen darauf verzichten und nur in kurzem L'mriss horen, was das Lied der Nibel- ungen crzahlt. Im Burgundenlande auf dem Scblosse zu Worms wuchs die Konigs- tochter zur reizenden Jungfrau heran. Schon in dieser Abgeschieden- beit umschweben die liebliche Kriemhilde ahnungsreiche Traume. Zu gleicher Zeit lebt in den Niederlanden der reiche Siegfried, der schon als Knabe (lurch seine ausgezeichnete Starke hervorragend zum Helden herangewachsen ist. Er liort von der holden Jungfrau am Oberrhein und es verlangt ihn, mit seinen Mannen aus der Heimat nach Worms zu ziehn, um die herrliche Kriemhilde zu erwerben. Niemand in Worms kennt die vor der Burg harrenden Eremden. Da wird nach Hagen von Tronei, dem alle fremden Lande kund sind, gesandt. Obwohl er Siegfried nie zuvor gesehen. so erkennt er doch gleich. dass dieser stolze Jungling niemand anders sein kann als Siegfried, der das Nibelungengeschlecht besiegte; der den unermesslichen Hort oder Schatz ihnen abgewann; der dem Zwerg Alberich die unsichtbar machende Tarnkappe im Kampf entriss,—derselbe Siegfried, der einen Drachen totete. in dessen Blut badete und seine Haut dadurch unver- wundbar machte. Siegfried wird nun herrlich empfangen und bewirtet. Frohliche Kampfspiele werden abgehalten und es verlliesst beinabe ein Jahr bis Siegfried um Kriemhilde anhalt. Gunther willigt ein, mit der Bedingung, dass der starke Siegfried ihm erst in seiner Werlning um Brunhilde, die Kampfkonigin des Isenlandes helfe. Gern sagt Siegfried dieseni zu, und bald faliren die Burgunder iiber die See. Nach zwolf Tagen kommen sie an. 1m Kampf, welcher folgt, wird die stolze Brunhilde von Siegfried, der in seiner Tarnkappe unsiclitbar ist, besiegt und muss Gunther, dessen Gemahlin sie nun wird, nach Worms folgen. Endlich erhalt auch Siegfried Kriemhilde zur Frau, und riistet sich mit ihr zur Heimreise in das Niederland. Aber ehe er reisen kann, muss er noch einmal die kampflustige Brunhilde fiir Gunther be- zwingen. In diesem Kampf nimmt er ihr unhemerkt einen Giirtel und einen Ring, die er heide seiner Frau schenkt, ihm und seinem ganzen Geschlecht zum Verderben. Frohlich zieht nun Siegfried mit seiner jungen Brant in die Heimat und zehn Jahre leben sie ini grossten Gliick und Frieden, er. der iiber die Nibelungenreiche und Schatze gebot. der machtigste Konig, Kriem- hilde, die gliicklichste aller Koniginnen. Eines Tages hringt ein Bote eine Einladung zu einem Feste an Gunthers Hof. Diese wird sogleich angenommen und aufs herrlichste werden die Gaste empfangen. Doch sollten nicht alie Tage frohliche sein, Eifersucht ervveckte einen Streit zwischen den Frauen wegen des Ranges ihrer Gatten. Kriemhilde suchte die Hoheit ihres fiirstlichen Gatten zu bevveisen, indem sie den Giirtel und Ring Brunhilden’s zeigte, die Siegfried ihr abgenommen im Kampf mit Brunhilde, Brunhilde ergrimmt dariiber und sinnt auf Rache. Sie heredet Hagen, Siegfried zu ermorden. Hagen sagt zu und sendet durch falsche Boten eine Kriegserklarung von den Sachsen an den Hof. Siegfried erklart sich alshald hereit, Gunther beizustehen, Kriem- hilde, die sehr um ihren Mann besorgt ist, bittet Hagen ihm im Kampfe behilflich zu sein; in ihrem grossen Vertrauen zu Hagen’s Freundschaft naht sie ein Kreuz an Siegfried's Rock, um die Stelle and der Schulter zu bezeichnen, welche im Blute des Drachen durch ein darauf gefallenes Blatt verwundbar geblieben w'ar. Nun sendet Hagen aberntals falsche Boten an den Hof, w'elche Frieden verkiindigen. Hierauf wird eine Jagd veranstaltet. Am Elide derselben schlagt Hagen einen Wettlanf zu einer nahen Quelle vor. Es beginnt der Lauf; wie wilde Tiere springen Hagen und Gunther durcli den Wald, aber Siegfried gewinnt bei vveitem. Ehrerbietig wartet er nun auf Gunther, um ihn erst trinken zu lassen. Dieses kostet ihm aber das Leben, denn als er, nachdem Gunther getrunken, sich auch iiber die Quelle biickt, springt Hagen herzu und stosst ein Schwert in die ver- wundbare Stelle, sodass Sigfried fast augenblicklich getotet wird. Kriemhilde ist von unnennbarem Leide und Jammer iiberwaltigt, jedoch bei der Leichenfeier sieht sie wie Siegfried’s Wunde bei Hagen’s Eintreten von neuem fliesst, ihn erkennt sie als den Mbrder, und in ihrem Herzen schwort sie blutige Rache. Die Zeit verrinnt und dreizehn Jahre lebte Kriemhilde in tiefster Trauer. Um sie zu erfreuen. lassen ihre Hriider den Nibelungenschatz nach Worms bringen. Aber nicht lange soil sie sieh dessen erfreuen. denn der ruchlose Hagen, befurchtcnd, sie moge zu freigebig werden, und damit viele Burgunder fiir sich gewinnen, stiehlt den Schatz und versenkt ihn in den Rhein. Kriemhilde sinnt immer ernster auf Rache. Endlich kommt Graf Rudiger von Bechlarn, um sie fiir Kdnig Etzel von Ungarn zu erwerben. Sie iiberlegt und erkennt, d'ass die Zeit zur Rache sich giinstig zeigt. und sie nimmt bei der .usage, Etzel's Frau zu werden, ihm einen Eid ab. dass er ihr zu jeder Tat der Rache an ihren Feinden behilflich sein werde. Es vergeben wiederum dreizehn Jahre bis Kriemhilde ihren Plan fertig gestellt hat. Zu einem Feste ladet sie nun die liurgunder. ihre Bruder und erwandte nach I mgarn ein. Die Einladung wird angc- nonimen; nach langer Reise kommcn die Gaste in Ungarn an. unter diesen. wie sie es gehofTt. auch Hagen, ihre bitterster Eeind. (iiinther und Hagen werden gcfangen genommen von Etzel’s Dienstmann Dietrich von Bern, und der Kdnigin iibergeben. Diese lasst ihren Bruder enthaupten und totet dann mit eigner Hand ihren Erzfeind Hagen. Da aber springt in grimmigem Zorn der alte Dienst- mann Hildebrand herbei und totet Kriemhilde. So endet mit Leid das grosse Nibelungenlied. Und was will es sein, wenn wir's gelesen mit allem, was es besungen und was tins be- vvegt? Das Lied der Treue, sagen viele, aberc andere. und wir mit ihnen, urteilen: es ist das schaurige Lied der Raclie. MARTHA I). VOLZ. Following the rule laid down for Freshmen, we did not take an ac- tive part in the social life of the school during our first year, although a few of us were permitted to assist the Juniors at their Flop. However, we were not long to be in this class of somewhat jealous onlookers, for in February of our second year, we gave a “Sophomore Spread.” and so helped to establish a's a custom the splendid idea of the class of 1912. Since the party was given shortly after St. Valentine’s Day, we replaced our class colors by the red and white. This color scheme was carried out in white hunting and strings of red hearts and also in the shields bearing the class numerals which lighted the gym. at either end. At four o’clock an informal reception was held, followed by an attempt at a grand march. Owing to the size of the gym. this was not much to look at, but everyone seemed to he enjoying themselves, which was far more important. After dancing for two hours, we all went across to the dining-room, decorated for the occasion in the class colors of yellow and white, where a supper was served. The success of this affair was merely a promise of what our Junior Hop would be. The preceding classes had held this important event in the gymnasium, which was much too small to accommodate the large number of dancers. Some more progressive spirits wished to give our Hop in the Masonic Temple, and after quite a discussion of the subject due to the fears of some that we would not make expenses, the matter was settled and the dance took place at the Temple on Friday evening, December the twenty-second, nineteen hundred and eleven. The dec- orations were very effective, though simple, consisting merely of sprays of southern smilax around the balcony and the shield, bearing the class numerals in yellow and white lights, suspended above the stage. The class banner hung at the other end of the hall in plain view but protected by a spot light which dared any Senior or Soph, to lay ruthless hands upon it. Dancing was enjoyed until twelve o’clock and by that time we knew that our party was all that the next day’s papers called it, “one of the most brilliant and successful social events of the season.” Of our ten Juniors who received Junior appointments, William Whatley received first place, an especial honor since this place is not usually won by a boy. Rosel Leach was a close second and the other appointees in alphabetical order were. Grace Adams, Mildred Browne, Jane Green, Helen Grandy, Esther Holland, Jeannie Liddle, Lola Stau- ber and Helen Woodruff. The Exhibition, which was very entertaining as well as unusual, took the form of a suffragette play. The appointees representing a committee of the Women's Federated Clubs were preparing to edit a special edition of the Saginaw Daily Herald. The paper was to be issued March 215, 1923. and the funds used to help establish a Saginaw public market. Miss Green took the part of editor-in-chief with Miss Grandy as her secretary. The department editors were as follows: Miss Leach, polit- ical; Miss Browne, social: Miss Liddle, advertising; Miss Stauber, mu- sical; Miss Adams had charge of the children’s page and Miss Wood- ruff, home economics. Miss Grandy gave a poem on the development of the water system from its present condition to its perfection in 1923, and Miss Holland in an original story told how love affairs will be con- ducted in 1923. The papers were well given and contained some rather pointed re- marks about some of the students which were immensely enjoyed by tlie friends of the victims. On the thirty-first of May we gave our Junior entertainment at the Germania. It was called “The Mischianzia,” and consisted of a little of everything. A playlet. “How the Vote was Won,” was given hy Floyd Rieder, Naomi Wolcott, Emma Wienke, Ruth Shepard, Margaret Meyer, Fred Robinson. Olive Miller, Hazel Kerns and Clara Elrich. Solos were sung by Edith Field and Erma Klumpp. followed hy take-offs by the hoys. Some of those taking part in the choruses were Margaret Meyer, Myrtle Marskey, Edna Marskey, Charlotte Kurtz, Helen Charvat, Mar- tha Volz, Edwin Scott. Carl Miller, Rufus Loveland, Fred Robinson. Some clever tableaux were given followed by Virginia Winship, Kath- leen Pike, Amanda Schultz. Leonore Otto, Carl Miller, Rufus Loveland, Stanley Beach and James O'Donnell. June Spencer and Ara Dietz fin ished the program with a very pretty dance which was followed by the singing of Auld Lang Syne hy the entire company. Mr. Ralph Smith and Mr. Duryea caused a great deal of amusement in the clever acting of their parts as jesters. The entertainment was not only a great success as an amusement but financially as well. However, we very generously spent our hard-earned dollars in giving the Seniors a boat-ride on the Melbourne. There was dancing upon the decks and refreshments were served. Now, as Seniors, we have so much money on hand that it will not be necessary to give an entertainment to raise funds for our graduation expenses. We are looking forward with pleasure to the social events attending our departure from Saginaw' High. MARJORIE KUEHL. . WILLIAM O'KEEFE Class of 1914 Colors — Maroon and Gold. OFFICERS.

And now a new life we must try, Hut to its teachings we must cleave. CHORUS. Farewell to thee, O Saginaw High. With wishes well we say good-bye. Our colors dear of gold and white Will ever be a beacon light. To those who’ve helped us on our ways. We thank you on this day of days. And hope that we may ever he A credit to your loyalty. The man who has no music in himself, Is fit for treason, strategem and spoils.” Shakespeare, when he uttered these w'ords, well knew the nature and needs of man. The humas race has heen quick in proving the significance of the words. Man has always felt the need of music to subserve happiness as well as his education. So deeply has the influence of music heen felt, that in the past fifty years rapid strides have been made in teaching the public to appreciate good music Many publications are issued which are devoted entirely to music. Noted singers are brought to the larger cities and meet with approval. We have conservatories of music in most of our large cities, and music has been introduced into the schools. We will take our own school, which is an excellent example, and tell you something of the musical work being done. At present we have a number of musical organizations in the school. The Glee Club, an old organization consisting of boys, is now under the direction of Miss Clara Miller l.aner and has won repeated favor through its good work. The Amphion Club, also an old organization of the school, which is directed by Mrs. K. M. 15. Wilson, is composed of girls. They have been heard frequently and are always received enthusiastically. A new organization, the Violin Club, under the direction of Miss Clara Miller Lauer, has done excellent work. This year’s musical work was brought to a fitting close by the pro- duction of the Japanese opera, “Mikado,” given by the Glee and Am- phion, assisted by the Violin Club. The opera is in two acts, the first taking place in the courtyard of Ko-Ko's official residence, while the second unravels the plot in KoKo’s garden. When the play opens, Katisha is engaged to Nanki-Poo. This voting man, the son of the Mikado, is in love with Yum-Yum, who in turn is engaged to Ko-Ko, her guardian. To escape the former fate Nanki-Poo has disguised himself in the garb of a wandering minstrel. In desperation, he is going to kill himself, when Ko-Ko, who has latelv been reproved for not having executed any one in the past year, is finally induced to allow Nanki-Poo to marry Yum-Yum for a month, after which he shall allow Ko-Ko to execute him. The plot which involves these people is extremely funny, wdtile the stories of the execution sung by Pitti-Sing, Pooh-Bah and Ko-Ko cause much laughter and confusion. Nanki-Poo, however, is found not to have been executed, but has eloped with Yum-Yum. Katisha has, in the meantime, been safely married to Ko-Ko, and the complications are finally brought to a pleasing end. Arthur Wrege as the Mikado of Japan, and Fred Ostler as Nanki- Poo, his son, performed their parts in a manner well worthy of praise; while Ko-Ko, Lord I ligh Executioner of Titipu, taken by Floyd Rieder, was a source of constant enjoyment. Pooh-Bah, or Lord High Every- thing Else, was very fittingly taken by Otto Wolf and his mellow tenor voice was greatly appreciated. John Hall, in a very pleasing manner, took the part of Pish-Tush. June Spencer, as Yum-Yum, one of the three sisters and w-ard of Ko-Ko, was well chosen for the part. The roles of Pitti-Sing and Peep- Bo were acceptably taken by the Misses Edith Field and Eva Smith. Katisha. an elderly lady, in love with Nanki-Poo, was admirably por- trayed by Erma Klumpp. The choruses consisted of the Amphion and Glee Clubs. The scenery and setting was very pretty and the play met with un- usual success. Much credit is due to the earnest work of Mrs. K. M. P . Wilson and Miss Clara Miller Lauer, as directors, Miss Gipe who attended to the dances throughout the play, and Miss Marion Gubtil and Mr. Robert Granville who acted as decorating committee. Never before have the musical clubs of our school met with greater success and it is earnestly hoped that the students of following years will keep up the good work. EDITH M.

PLACE RICE BEACH JOHNSON BURKHOLDER POLSON HALL FOOTBALL When school opened on September :i, Captain Hughes immediately called for football candidates. Of last year’s team, Captain Hughes, Steekeit, Whaley, Davis, Runchey, Robertson and French reported, together with a host of promising material, among the latter being Armstrong, who had played at Bay City Eastern, and Johnston, from Detroit Central. Frank Picard, quarterback of the S. II. S. teams of '05, 06 and '07, captain of the State Champion team of '07, and for the past three years under Yost's coaching at Ann Arbor, helped the boys to get into shape and gave them many useful Michigan formations. Saginaw, 67; Bay City Western, 0. F'or the first game of the season, Saginaw journeyed to West Bay City on the 5th of October and handed Western a ( 7-0 beating. French was the bright star of the performance, getting 64 points on five touch- downs and four goals from touchdowns. The feature of the game was a 60-yard run for a touchdown by “Steve” Winkler, after recovering a fumble by Western. The score: Bay City Western. Saginaw. L.

For the first five min- utes the Black and Gold s.vept haughty Central off her feet. French went at will through their line, which was unable to stop our flying whitehead. But, with the ball on their five-yard mark, Detroit's line held, after which their superior weight began to have effect, and Sag- inaw' did not have another chance to score.

Minus the services of their line-smashing fullback, French, the team went to St. Louis and administered a 24-0 beating to the beefy Saints.

When Saginaw met Eastern at Bay City on November 2nd. it was evident to all that on the outcome of this game depended the Valley championship, for Saginaw had previously put Bay City Western out of the running by a ( 7-0 score, and Arthur Hill had been defeated ln- Eastern, 19-0. Saginaw received the kick-off, and after twice gaining their yards, completely surprised Hay City by a pretty forward pass, Egan to Steck- ert. Nobody was near Bill when he caught it and he romped over the line for the first score; French kicked goal. Bay City came right back and by line bucks by Ellis and J. Bald- win soon carried the ball to Saginaw’s four-yard line. Here, however the Black and Gold line held, and it took Eastern four downs to carry the ball over the line, J. Baldwin making the score. For the rest of the first quarter, the ball see-sawed back and forth near the middle of the field, neither team being able to make any material gains. In the second quarter, gains by French, Hanaford, and Runchey brought the ball to Bay City's fifteen-yard mark, from which French booted a neat goal from placement. In the third quarter, the ball stayed near the center of the field, neither team gaining consistently. But in the last quarter, our back- field got going again and carried the ball far into Bay City’s territory. Numerous attempts to score another touchdown failed, and then French placed the pigskin between the goal posts for a second field goal. Two minutes later the game ended and Saginaw had won the Valley Cham- pionship. The score: Bay City Eastern. Saginaw. Smith L. E Ann eke L.T Burbidge, Stagel L. G P. Baldwin C Glave R. G Davis R.

Saginaw expected a hard game with Ann Arbor when they traveled to the University town on November 9, and it surely was close. Sag- inaw should have won, and would have if they had stuck to straight football. On the bucking the Black and Gold gained cpiite consistently, but on forward passes and open field work they were unsuccessful. The University boys could do nothing with our line, but used long for- ward passes to good advantage. By means of these they twice carried the ball within striking distance of our goal, and twice did their fullback cary it over. During the last five minutes our boys got going, and by straight line plunging carried the pigskin right down the field and over the line. If they had stuck to this kind of play the entire game, the score would have been far different. The score: Ann Arbor. Saginaw. Fisher L. E. . . . Fields L. T Naylor E. G Adams C Novy R.

On November 18, Bay City Eastern came down to Saginaw fully confident of avenging the defeat they had received two weeks before. At the cutset it looked as though they v. ere going to do this. By ter- rific line plunging by Smith, Baldwin, and Ellis, they carried the ball to our five-yard line. But here they fumbled and Saginaw, recovering, punted out of danger. For the rest of the quarter, play was mostly in Saginaw’s territory, but well out of the danger zone. The second quarter was played in the middle of the field, until the last two minutes, when “Curly” Egan nabbed a forward pass and ran fifty yards to Bay City’s one-yard line, where he was tackled. On the next play, Saginaw fumbled, and the chance was gone. During all the third quarter, the ball hovered about the middle of the field ; but in the fourth, Saginaw began to forge ahead. With two minutes of play and the ball on Bay City’s twenty-yard line, Saginaw worked the old delayed pass and completely fooled Bay City, June Robertson going around the left end for a touchdown. The goal was missed, but nobody cared, for Bay City had been defeated again, dud the Valley Championship rested on the shoulders of old Saginaw High The score: Bay City. Bean L. E Saginaw.

Saginaw, 27; Port Huron, 19. When Port Huron opposed Saginaw at Alumni Field on November 26, Saginaw patrons of the game had a splendid opportunity to see the possibilities of tIre new and old games compared. Port Huron used the forward pass in all its varieties, most of the time succeeding. Their versatile little quarter. Springer, was their bright light, he being on the receiving end of most of the forward passes and never failing to gain. Captain Wasted hurled the ball with cannon- like velocity, and his aim was fine. On the other hand, Saginaw, soon discovering Port Huron’s weak- ness, kept plugging away at their line, gaining steadily. Runchey, Rob- ertson, French and Hanaford went through their line at will. French sprained his ankle in this game, but Hanaford, who replaced him, played a fine game, gaining as well as the regular backs. In the first few minutes of play, Port Huron with their sweeping forward pass attack, lifted Saginaw off her feet, and scored a touchdown before we knew it. Rut, coming back strong, and making steady gains through the line, we scored two touchdowns in the second period, kicking one goal. In the third. Port 1 luron evened it up. making the score at the beginning of the fourth, 13-13. At the very outset of the last quarter, Saginaw piled up two more touchdowns, and though Port Huron did succeeed in getting another, they could not overcome this handicap. Rnnchey did the best work in this game, never failing to gain, making three touchdowns and kicking three goals. The score: Port Huron. Saginaw. Collins L. E. . . Jeffries L. T. .. Haslett. McLean L.

'1'he big game of the season in Saginaw, the game which either team would rather win than all the other games on their schedules, was played at Alumni Field on Thanksgiving Day. The dope favored Saginaw, as they had twice defeated Bay City Eastern, whereas Arthur Hill had been beaten by the same team. But, Arthur Hill had two weeks before defeated Alpena, which team had heat Bay City, so a good game was expected. Nobody ever dreamed that it would be as easy a game for Saginaw as it proved to be. Starting with a rush, and playing together the best they did all season, Saginaw pushed French over the line in less than five minutes' play. In three more minutes they duplicated this performance. The second period netted another and the third also. But in the last, with four subs in the line-up, Saginaw scored more points than in anv other period of the game. Two touchdowns, a goal from touch- down, and a field goal, in all sixteen points were amassed in this quarter. The score, 4:5-0, the worst beating Arthur Hill received throughout the whole season, shows how much they were outplayed. Never once did they threaten; only once making their yards. Invariably they were forced to punt, and, had it not been for Raymond's excellent booting, the score would have been much greater. The line bucking and end running of the entire backfield were fine, and the handling of forward passes by the ends was first class. The fact that Arthur Hill made theii downs but once shows the kind of game the line played. The score: Arthur Hill. Saginaw. R. Orr L. E. ... Ahrens L.T Fisher, J. Ippel L. G Payne c Dezelsky R.

Captain-elect Runchey. Jack was a scrapper every inch of the way, gaining many yards for his team where other hacks would have given up the attempt. He was fast on his feet and a hard man to stop when once started. There were few' men faster than him in a broken field ; and as captain next year, should lead the Black and Gold to an- other Valley championship; and he stands a good chance of captaining the Michigan State Championship team for 11 1 4. Steckert—Left End. There were few men in the state who could equal, and none who could surpass Bill in handling the forward pass. Many a score did Bill make for his team on this play. He was also a good defensive end, and a sure tackier. Winkler—Left Tackle. This was “Steve’s” first year on the team, hut he held up his side of the line in fine style. I I is blocking was always good, and his tackling of the first class. Steve” should he one of the mainstays of next year’s team. Draper—Center. Jess” was another first year man. hut with Hughes and Whaley to hold him up, he allowed few gains. His passing of the hall was accurate, and he c«uld always he depended upon. Whaley—Right Guard. Glen played guard on offense and center on defense. It was at the latter position he shone, breaking up plays and tackling like a fiend. In him Saginaw loses a very valuable man. Davis—Right Tackle. “When you hit ‘Spike,’ you stop,” said Pat Smith, of Bay City Eastern, and he had it right. Our lean and lanky tackle was one of the hardest men in the state to get through. He was very fast on his feet, and was down under punts as fast as the ends. Egan—Right End. “Curly” Egan, at end, was the find of the year. Though he had never played the game before, he proved right at home at all departments of the game, lie will be one of the best men on the team next year. McGee—Quarter. A heady little quarter and a fine field general was McGee. He could run with the ball, also, and used fine headwork in directing his attack. He has two years more to fight for Saginaw, and should develop into a little wonder before he leaves. Robertson—Left Half. Though kept out of the game a large part of the season through injuries, Robbie showed his worth in the games in which he did participate, lie starred on end runs, but he could also buck the line with good result. He was one of the speediest men on the team, and his loss through graduation will be keenly felt. Hanaford—Fullback and Halfback. This was Don's first year, but he delivered the goods in fine fashion, lie was a valuable man to the team, as he could fill in any position in the backfield. Don will be back next year, as will McGee, Runchey, and French, which insures a strong backfield. b'rench—Fullback. “Whitey was feared all over the state and con- sidered one of the best line plungers Saginaw has ever produced. In the first Bay City, Mt. Pleasant, and Ann Arbor games, b'rench had to hear the brunt of the attack, and in each case came through with some good gains. He will help materially to strengthen next year’s team. Armstrong—Lineman. Armie was used both at tackle and end and in each position acquitted himself favorably. He was steady and dependable and played a good game every minute. RECC )RD. Saginaw 67 West Bay City Saginaw (I Detroit Central 40 Saginaw 24 St. Louis Saginaw l :i Mt.

(� Total 199 BASKETBALL Hopes for a champion basketball team ran high when Captain Steckert, Eastman, Meibeyer, and Miller, of last year's States Cham- pionship team, and Ed. Johnston, of the crack Detroit Central five, turned out. In the annual Alumni game, the old-timers were beaten 2! to IT. The team continued practicing through the Christmas vaca- tion. and were in fine form for the Bay City game. Saginaw, 37: Bay City, 12. In the first interscholastic match, Saginaw completely outclassed Bay City Eastern, winning 37 to 12. Saginaw was never in danger, leading by 20 to 4 at the halfway mark. Captain Steckert, with 8 field baskets and 3 fouls, was the star of the game. The score: Bay City. Saginaw. Buck F. . . Steckert, Capt. Gallagher F. .. Stringer C. ..

Saginaw, 34; Grand Rapids, 25. In the most interesting as well as the best played game of the sea- son, Saginaw continued on her march towards States Championship honors by putting Grand Rapids Central out of the running, 34-25. At the beginning of the game. Grand Rapids took the lead. Dirr- ing the first ten minutes Saginaw was unable to locate the rim; but when once started. Captain Steckert’s braves came fast. Grand Rapids led throughout the first half up to the bell, when Johnston, with a sen- sational field basket, tied the count at 13 all. For the first ten minutes of the second half, the two teams played nip and tuck. Then, by a strategic move, Saginaw won the game. Miller was sent to center in place of Meibeyer, who was switched over to Runchey’s guard, the latter being taken out. With this changed line-up, Saginaw quickly drew away from her opponents. Grand Rapids put in a fresh guard, Adams, but this failed to stop Saginaw. The final score, 34-25, was undoubtedly the result of the change in the line-up. Steckert and John- ston, with their 27 points, practically won the game for Saginaw; al- though Eastman, Runchey, and Meibeyer must be given credit for the many points they saved by their fine guarding. The men they guarded, Stander and Dayton, are the best men seen here all year, with the ex- ception of our own, Steckert and Johnston. The score: Grand Rapids Central. Saginaw.

The score was 60-14; Charlie Meibeyer aiding materially with 24 points on 12 field baskets. Saginaw's team work in this game was very poor, each man trying to get as many points for himself as possible. The score : Mt. Pleasant. Saginaw.

This game was close and fiercely contested, but in the end Saginaw emerged un- beaten. Being unfamiliar with Lansing’s floor, the best Saginaw could do in the first half was to tie Lansing, the score being 8-8. Having gained their bearings, however, the Saginaw boys left Lansing in the rear in the second half. The score would have been larger were it not for an unfortunate injury to Captain Steckert, who, despite of his in- jury, Pluckily finished the game. The score : I .ansing. Saginaw.

Arthur Hill offered but feeble resistance to Saginaw, being satisfied with the short end of a 74-1!) score. As soon as Saginaw got used to the slippery Teutonia dance hall floor, it was evident to all that the West Siclers had no chance. As in the Mt. Pleasant game, team work was conspicuous by its absence, each player trying to ring up as many bas- kets for himself as possible. Charlie Meibeyer again leading in the scoring with 34 points.

On Feb. 14, the teams representing Saginaw and Detroit Central each so far undefeated, met in the game that decided the Michigan State championship. By superior team work and speed, Detroit carried off the game. Saginaw was never in the lead, the closest they came to this was in the last few minutes of play, when Johnston tied the count at 19 all. Thereupon, Detroit proceeded to pull away from Saginaw and they did not have a chance after that. The score: Detroit. Saginaw. Ballagh Codd Miller Duncan Whitmarsh ..

Saginaw kept up the same pace in the second half, scoring 15 to Alpena’s ( .

As it was, the West Siders scored l(i, while Saginaw was coral- ling 74, so you see there was nothing very close about it.

The game would have been easily won with Captain Steckert in, and as it was, the patched-up Saginaw line-up gave Ann Arbor a fine run for their money. The first half we led 17 to 10. With a strong spurt, Ann Arbor made this up and went into the lead at the start of the second half. Saginaw started in again, and, if the time had been two minutes longer, we would have beaten. As it was, only the bell saved Ann Arbor. The score: Ann Arbor. Saginaw. Perry, Van Arman............F..............Johnston, Miller Freeman ....................F......................

Captain Steckert—Forward. Bill was feared all over the state as one of the slipperiest forwards in the business. Every opposing team always used their best guard to watch Bill, as they knew what would happen if they didn’t. He was a sure shot at the basket from any angle, and could also go back into the guard's territory and break up plays when needed. Captain-elect Runchey—Guard and Forward. This was Jack’s first year at basketball, but he played both guard and forward in a very ac- ceptable manner. At guard he was best, sticking to his man like glue. With Runchey as captain, and Johnston and Hanaford back, there need be no anxiety about next year's team. Eastman—Guard. There was not a better guard in the state than our sorrel-topped goal defender. The man he guarded always got the least number of baskets in every game. He was somewhat of a scorer himself, getting many a point from the field and caging many a foul. 11 is loss will be sorely felt. Meibeyer—Center. Ed was right there with the jump, and his tre- mendously long arms also came in very handy. He showed his best form in the Mt. Pleasant and Arthur Hill games, scoring :� !) baskets in these three games alone. Johnston—Forward. Johnston, of the Detroit Central team, was a valuable addition to Saginaw’s basket tossers, and filled in fine shape the place left vacant by the graduation of Kit Spencer. Johnston ex- celled at passing the ball and on long shots. Hanaford—Guard. This was the first year Don took up basketball, hut he acquitted himself as well at it as he did at football. He watched his man closely at all times, and many a time did he keep the ball from tlie Saginaw basket. With his knowledge of the game which lie has acquired this year, he should be one of the mainstays of next year's team. Miller—Forward. Carl played a steady game at forward and could be depended upon when the scores were needed. His team work and his basket shooting were both good and he was in the game all the time. RECORD.

BASKINS. Cart, H. TOPHAM. Mgr. BASEBALL The baseball veterans who formed the nucleus around which Coach Doolittle had to build up a winning nine were many in number and old in experience. Besides Captain Topham and Manager Baskins, G. Rice, McGee, Meibeyer, Sage and Troy reported. Added to this were McCorkle, who could have made the team last year had he been eligible. Dull from Kalamazoo, Johnston from Detroit Central, and C. Rice the Freshman, who, under the able guidance of Coach Doolittle, with bis brother Gordon on the receiving end- to bold him up, developed into one of the best pitchers who ever hurled a baseball for the Black and Gold, and before he graduates he will certainly be the best high school pitcher in Michigan. Saginaw, 14; Alumni, 11. The Chesaning game, which was to have been played at Chesaning on May 3rd, was cancelled, so the Alumni were hunted up and chased out to Alumni Field to give the team some practice. It was an old time slugfest with Saginaw on the long end by 14 to 11. Goodrovv was knocked out of the box by the high school team and “Nug” lleale and Cooper were also touched up in fine style. The Alumni knocked Has- kins off the slab in the second, taking him for 7 runs, but Rice, who suc- ceeded, held them safe the rest of the wav. The score: 1 2 :i 4 5 ( 7 8 !)

Saginaw, 21; Bay City Eastern, 6. The first inning of the Bay City Eastern game resembled a baseball game—after that it was more like a football or basketball game. Bay City played wretchedly in the field and Hamilton was hit hard and often, so that Saginaw had little trouble in leaving Bay City far behind. Captain Topham had a big day with the stick, getting a homer, a triple, two doubles and a single in five trips to the plate. Both Baskins and C. Rice pitched; the latter making much the better showing.

Aided by the splendid pitching of Clifford Rice, who was almost unhittable when hits meant runs, the Saginaw High ball team got re- yenge on Arthur Hill for the three years of defeats by walloping the West Siders, 8 to A The East Side batters took the measure of Coulliard to the tune of sixteen bingles, five being for extra sacks, and stole thir- teen bases on Captain Krause, all of which aided materially in the scor- ing. Baskins made two doubles. Topham made a double and a single and stole four bases. Of the eleven hits made off Rice, but one was for two bases and many were infield scratches and Cincinnatis. Arthur Hill was clearly outhit and outplayed. The score: 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 n R H E Arthur Hill.. 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 2 — 5 11 1 Saginaw .... 0 1 1 4 0 0 0 0 2— 8 14 4 Coulliard and Krause; C. Rice and G .

Baskins pitched and had no trouble at all in shutting out the rubes, all owing only six hits and fanning ten. After piling up ten scores in the first four innings, Saginaw took it easy and did not have to work hard in the least.

Both Bay City Western and Saginaw had defeated all the other Valley teams, so the Valley championship hinged on the result of the Saginaw-Bay City Western game. Saginaw took the lead in the third, scoring twice on Meibeyer’s walk, G. Rice’s double and McCorkle’s single. Bay City tied it up in the sixth on a single, a walk, and a couple of wild heaves. Right here the Valley Champs took the lead again. Johnston sin- gled, stole a second, went to third on Topham’s short single, and scored when Joe Troy lifted a sacrifice fly to the outfield. Two more were added in the seventh on a bases on error, Meibeyer’s single, and Cord Rice’s triple. Bay City got one more in the eighth, but could not come through with enough to win. Rice’s pitching was by far the feature, he holding Bay City to five singles and fanning eight. The score: 1 2 :l 4 5 f) l J ( 8 !)

In the second Bay City Eastern game, Eastern showed quite an improvement and for seven innings the play was close and exciting. At the end of the seventh the score stood 3 to 1 in favor of Saginaw. But in the eighth, Saginaw added 4 more on two triples and four sin- gles, and all Bay City’s hopes were gone. C. Rice’s pitching again was the feature, lie held Bay City hitless for five innings. In the sixth, a single, a stolen base, and another single gave Bay City their only run. Only one more hit was made off Rice, a single in the seventh. Sage, Johnston, and French featured the hat- ting for Saginaw with long triples. Hamilton was knocked from the mound in the eighth and Marshall had to finish the game.

Captain Topham—Second Base. Though Topham has always been used to playing the outfield, yet he played second base in a very accept- able manner. He was sure on ground balls and had a good wing. But in the hitting was where he starred. 11 is batting average was easily over .400, and he never failed in a pinch. Manager Baskins—Pitch and Outfield. Baskins’ arm, which was the mainstay of last year’s team, gave out this year. In fact, he only pitched one good game, that at Flushing, lie was a sure fielder and his bat helped out in many a tight pinch. Meibeyer—First Base. Ed was a sure fielder and a hard and long hitter. I Maying his third year, he helped to hold up the younger mem- bers of the infield, and his wonderful reach pulled in many a wild peg. G. Rice—Catcher. Gord was a veteran and caught like one. He had the happy facility of holding up the pitcher, and very few ever stole on him. Sage—Third Base. I lenry was a cautious player and always made his head work. He stopped everything that came his way and also used his hat to good advantage. C. Rice—Pitcher. Cliff was the real find of the season. Unheralded he came to high school and made a name for himself by his phenomenal pitching. To him Saginaw owes her victories over Arthur Hill, Bay City Western and Bay City Eastern, in other words, the Valley Cham- pionship. McGee—Shortstop. Maggie played his position like a finished vet- eran. His fielding was of the finished variety and his batting was good. He had hard luck in getting spiked just before the West Bay City game, but he showed his pluck by coming right back and getting into the next game. Johnston—Shortstop and Outfield. Johnston was a new man on the ball team this year. When he hit he hit hard. His fielding average was lowered considerably because lie usually got his hair tangled up in field- ing the ball. Troy—Outfield. Joe was the prettiest fielder on the team and he was equally sure of his catches. His hits were usually long ones for two or more bases. McCorkle—Outfield. Although Jerry had never made the team before, much was expected of him. He justified all expectations by his neat fielding, his good hitting and his clever base stealing. Dull—Outfield. Dull was the fastest base runner on the team, and averaged two stolen bases to every game in which he participated. He was a valuable man to have on the team as he could also go in and catch at a minute's notice. - ROY DAVIS. Cart. JAMES O’DONNELL. Mgr. TRACK W hen Captain “Spike Davis issued his call for track candidates, a very promising hunch turned out. ( )f last year’s team there were Love- land, Robertson, O’Donnell and Campbell, besides the Captain himself. Seeley, in the mile, kunchey, in the sprints and jumps, Hughes, in the weights, and W allis, the pole-vaulter, proved valuable additions to the team. The ineligibility of Robertson and Campbell, which occurred after the semester marks, was a heavy loss to the team. Annual Indoor Interclass Meet. The annual indoor meet, Seniors vs. All-School, was a vvalk-avvay for the upper classmen. The under classmen secured but four firsts. Loveland’s time for the cpiarter, 5(5 4 seconds, is a new indoor record for the gym. Campbell's time in the 35-yard dash. 3 4 5 seconds, was also fine, and his leap of 16 feet 2 inches, in the broad jump, is very rood for indoors. Captain Spike had little trouble in carrying off the honors of the meet, making 14,'4 points on first in the high and standing broad jumps, and second in the running broad jump, together with run- ning on the winning relay team. The summary: Thirty-five-Yard Dash—Campbell (A.S.), first: O’Donnell (S.), sec- ond; Robertson (S.), third. Time, 3 4 5 seconds.

Luck, and luck only, gave the victory in the dual meet with Lay City Eastern to the Lay City team. In the first place, the ineligibility of Captain Davis was very lucky for the Lay City bunch, as “Spike” could be counted on for at least 15 points. Lut even with this handicap we would have won if Jimmie O’Donnell had not fallen at the last hurdle of the 220 low hurdles when he was far in the lead. This piece of bad luck cost Saginaw the meet. O’Donnell showed what he was made of, however, in the high hurdles, which he copped with ease. Art Seeley easily carried off the mile, but in the half he had to go for all that was in him to pass Gallagher, who took the lead from the start, but Art passed him only five yards from the finish.

On Memorial Day the team journeyed to Alpena and defeated the Northern Michigan Champions by four points. Captain Spike was hack in the game and aided materially with 13 points. O’Donnell took both the hurdles in very good time, and Art Seeley hung up new school rec- ords in the mile and half-mile, making them in 4 :52 and 2:08, respect- ively. Wallis’s mark in the pole vault. 9'7 , was good also. For Alpena, Comstock was the whole team, lie copping 1T 4 points for his school, which is some going.

A. C. The team that went to Lansing to compete in the Michigan State Interscholastic Meet made the best record of any team that ever repre- sented Saginaw High in a State Meet, carrying away lOjA points and fifth place in the meet. Dutch Loveland finished second to Van Aken of Coldwater, who established a new State record at 52 2 5 seconds. Loveland’s time, 52 3 5, also breaks the old record and the school record, both of which w ere at 54 seconds. Captain Davis tied with Pullen of Hillsdale for second place in the high jump, each clearing the bar at 5 feet inches. On the jump-off to determine who should get the second place medal. Spike easily cleared 5 feet 1 inches, and Pullen was unable to do this, so Spike carried off the silver medal. O’Donnell added two points to his team’s total by capturing third in the 220-yard low hurdles. Seeley also made two points on fourths in the mile and half mile, and the relay team, consisting of Runchey, Davis, Loveland, and Hall, took fourth place. INDIVIDUAL SCORING. Loveland ............. 3 4 Seeley ................. 2 Davis ................ 2 4 Hall ................. 4 O’Donnell ............ 2 Runchey .............. 24 THE LINE-UP. Captain Spike Davis was a human giraffe when it came to high jumping and nobody in the valley ever took the trouble to contest his right to the premier honors in this event. He holds the Valley record at 5 feet ( 24 inches; but it is a safe bet that he will break it in this year’s Valley. He was also a good weight man, and holds the school record in the discus. O'Donnell—-.Manager. Jim was the best man the school has had in the hurdles since the time of herd Adams. He felt right at home when racing the hurdles and had a finish that would dishearten most compet- itors. In nearly every meet Jimmie could be counted on for at least ten points. Loveland—Dashes. Dutch had a spring to his feet and a way of getting away to a flying start that helped him out greatly in the dashes. Me showed what lie really can do when he ran the 440 in 52 3 5 at Lan- sing. Nothing but the tough luck of having to run against a record breaker like himself kept him from winning this race, as his time was very probably faster than what will capture the quarter in the next decade. Seeley—Distance Man. Seeley is a good example of what a man can do by training. Every night found him out at Alumni Field, plug- ging away, and the results were shown in the Bay City and Alpena meets, when he twice lowered both the mile and half mile records. All that he is lie made himself, and to him belongs all the credit. Runchey—Dash Man. Not contented with winning his “S” in both football and basketball, persistent Jack Runchey turned out for track and made the team from the start. lie featured the dashes, and as he did all things, he did them well. He got away to a good start and covered the ground with remarkable speed. Wallis—Pole Vault. Dike revived the pole vault, so to speak, at Saginaw High, as he was the only man in the last three years who reached any respectable height. Wallis’s mark is ten feet, and he ought to cop the Valley easily if he can keep up to the form he has been showing. Hughes—Weights. Though not a scintillating star, Hughes was a good steady reliable man, and seldom failed to come through with a goodly number of points in every meet. Burkholder—Weights and Distances. Burk was a steady plodder, but he surely had an awful finish. Burk sprinted the last 100 yards of his mile as if he were starting out on a quarter, and showed no ill effects after the finish. He was a good man in the discus and hammer, also. Schirmer—Pole Vault and Hurdles. This was Schirmer’s first year in track, and with two more before him, he should give a good account of himself in the pole vault and hurdles before leaving Saginaw High. Hall—Weights and Sprints. Hall was a good little sprinter and also good with the weights. Jack showed his school loyalty by sacri- ficing the Alpena trip in order to serve his class in their annual enter- tainment, and for this he has a great deal of credit due. Hanaford—High Jump and Hurdles. Last but not least is Hana- ford, the high jump and hurdle man. Not least by any means, for a man who can jump five feet three or thereabouts certainly is a valuable man on any track team. He was also good in the hurdles, and should make a good record in both these events next rear. MANUAL TRAINING CLASS AND PRODUCTS AT WHITE’S STUDIO. Shark W.—“] want my picture taken.

K is for Kuehl, stately and grand; There is still hope that she will Loveland. L for Lee, a florid-faced lad, His answers always make Miss B. mad. M is for Meibeyer, a funny chap, He’ll look good in gown and cap (perhap). N is for Nothelfer, who once had a girl; They took in the Jeffers with one dizzy whirl. O is O’Donnell, of the S. L. staff, He’s always there with tongue and gaff. P is for Pike, our little Kathleen, Like silver and gold her eyes doth sheen. R is for Robertson, our great athlete— Is there any record he cannot beat? S is for Schmidt, a little Dutch maid; She’s very timid, it’s often been said. T is for Thai, sweet and demure, A very good scholar she is, 1 am sure. V is for Vorwerck, not afraid of work. But how on earth can you make Vorwerck. W is for Woodruff, an auburn-haired lass. She’s said to be the light of the class. Y is for Young, who comes from the farm , Studying doesn’t seem to do him much harm. WM. McKENZIE, ’13, — Humorist Chairman. - To Our Benefactors.
