The privilege of a few parting words, however, has been left to the president. My friends, today we must plan the future. We know that history repeats itself. The past has been a series of preparations and experiences. Each experience was determined, more or less, by the preparation which had been given toward it; and the success or failure of each individual effort depended upon the fitting for that particular purpose. It is safe to assume, therefore, that the future will be another series of preparations and experiences, the outcome of which will be favorable or otherwise according to our ability to meet each occasion. Our High School course has been a means of preparation to enable us to meet the problems of the future as master workmen. We will meet these problems with different degrees of efficiency. We may be a success or we may be a failure; but if we have given our best and accomplished our best, we ARE a success in spite of failure. May each one of us make the best possible use of his training and bring credit to his school and himself. In behalf of the Class, I wish to thank the members of the Faculty for their advice, assistance and many kindnesses. With regret, “1917” bids farewell to school and friends. H. J. R.

' 'p isP V aledictory The Class of 1917 has today come to say good-bye to good old Saginaw High School. This day, the focus of our whole school career, has too soon come upon us, and we therefore find an element of sadness in it. We are facing the fact that our school life, in so far as the majority of us are concerned lies behind. As we look over the good days we have spent here, we see a nrief review of our past, our pleasures and our successes; a brief review of present achievements. We see four years, all too short, which have been spent at this institution used to the highest ad- vantage ; four years in which pleasure has been to a considerable degree mingled with our work. But to whom do we owe these successes? To the patient teachers and to our principal, whose efforts to better the conditions of Saginaw High School never seem to tire. But we not only see our successes of the past. We are not con- tent with present achievements but have a living hope that the Class may progress to justify the hopes of our school and at the same time never forget our duty of loyalty in thought and action to Alma Mater. We contend that this is not the end of the rain- bow, but merely the beginning. We are not, as some are saying, being graduated from, but being graduated into, a realm of new hopes, new possibilities, new achievements. Let me say that these are our hopes. We feel that our efforts to make them real is but answering an obligation to our school. But in the broader world of whatever activities we may pursue we shall have everlasting memories — memories of school days, of classmates, of teachers,— memories growing ever more fond and tender as we go farther away from this great event. In behalf of the Class of 1917,— farewell! GERALD MARKS. Class History i. This brief history of the Class of 1917 is written with the in- tention of bringing back to the minds of the Class the most im- portant events of our High School life. Four years ago we entered the Saginaw High School as Freshmen. We held a class meeting early in the year and chose the following officers: President................................Wayne Wenger Vice President.........................Lucille Ohland Secretary.................Eugene Oppermann Treasurer......................Marian Willis Gold and white were chosen for our class colors. During the year we had two very successful “Freshmen Frolics.” At the end of our career as Freshmen our class presented two pictures to the school. These were given by our President at the Class Day exercises of the Seniors. II. After a most appreciated vacation we again returned to High School. This time as Sophomores. At an early date a class meeting was held and the officers that were elected are as follows: President...................William Goodman Vice President................Eleanor Milligan Secretary......................Eugene Rummel Treasurer.........................Eva Schmidt With the beginning of the second semester came the plans for the annual “Sophomore Spread,” the one social event of our Soph- omore year. This event surpassed our greatest expectations and was unanimously agreed to be the “best ever.” 1917 The following year we were again at Saginaw High School. As soon as possible a class meeting was held at which the following officers were elected: President .....................Forrest Eagan Vice President.................Florence Ruff Secretary......................Emery Krebs Treasurer....................Margie Grainger Marshal........................Edwin Johnson Plans were then made for the Junior Hop which was the most important social event in our Junior year. Later on in the year the play, entitled “A Rehearsal at Ten,” was given before a large and appreciative audience at the Ger- mania. The finances of the Class were so increased that we were able to entertain the Seniors with a moonlight excursion on the Steamer “Melbourne.” IV. At last we had reached our goal and were Seniors! Realizing that the success or failure of the Seniors’ yearly publication the “Aurora,” depended greatly on our choice of officers, it was with careful consideration that we chose the following: President ......................Harrold Rust Vice President..................Esther Laible Secretary...................Theodore Timchac Treasurer...................Elizabeth Payne Marshal ....................Raphael McGregor On the sixteenth of March we had a very enjoyable Senior Party. By spring vacation all plans were completed for the “Aurora,” and it is with the greatest anticipation and eagerness that we are all looking forward to Commencement Week and the events con- nected with it.

J. EDWIN JOHNSON, residing at Saginaw, Mich. MAYNARD CHILDS, residing at Saginaw, Mich. . • Two widows in the U. S. A. Went to see a movie play; They were on the board of censorship To inspect new films every day. The work was very monotonous, The reels were all the same; But one day a new one flashed on the screen Which made them both exclaim. “The Famous Class of ’17” Was the name of the film they saw, And to their highly enchanted eyes The film was without a flaw. A picture now came before their eyes Of a hospital in Spain, Where Pete Cubbage worked as a Red Cross nurse With all her might and main. Harold Mitchell was driving the ambulance That carried the soldier boys From the field of war to the hospital— It seemed he was deaf from the noise. They then saw a cosy studio In the beautiful town of “Paree,” Where Helen Schaitberger was painting a picture, Which soon very famous would be; For Margaret Judd was the model fair, Her pose was simply divine, And the picture was such a good likeness • n That it made the two widows’ eyes shine. Upon the screen there now was flashed A building of checkered design, Of which Em’ry Krebs was proprietor— Things here could be bought for a dime. Many men could be seen going into the store, The business certainly paid ! For with Philips and Versey as salesgirls, They sure did draw the men’s trade. Fred Hout drove the truck around the town, But beside him was always a girl (They say that boy never will settle down, ’Cause girls keep his head in a whirl). George LaKing was floor-walker for this concern, As a rule they say he was strict; E. Zimmerman kept order in front of the store, So’s the traffic did not conflict. A vaudeville show was run by George Stone, As his leading stars could be seen Misses Thompson and Koch, a brunette and a blonde, They certainly made a fine team. Tub Robertson was the comedian, Her ways made everyone roar; K. Miller played the piano, The people kept calling for more. Midge Willis, our Baseball Queen, Was sought for by many a team ; Both National and American Leagues Held her playing in high esteem. E. Milligan was an authoress famed, Her works could be bought for a nickel; She was writing her latest novel: “A Proof that All Men are Fickle.” In the Keystone comedies Eddie Johnson they saw, He really had made a hit ( ?) ; The last great “Drama” in which he was starred Gave all the people a fit. The scene now turned to Washington, Where Eva Ruth Schmidt could be seen Leading a band of suffragettes, On the subject she sure was keen. Carrying the banner for her parade Was Amanda Johnson fair; While Rolland Lantz was the drummer boy. With noise he filled the air. Assisting “little Eva” in her difficult work, Hylda Goldman, the orator was seen; ’Twas said that her speeches had made the men stare, Though they admitted she was a scream. Granville McCormick had tried to bring about peace To this terrible world-wide war; His essays on peace which he showed to the Kings Were so good that they asked him for more. He was now at the head of the new Peace League, With Harold Rust at his side. For Harold was U. S. President, 1917 His rule reached far and wide. The Laible twins had an aeroplane, And had made a record flight; They’d defeated Ruth Law, the champion, And won many a medal bright. M. Childs was a pompous Congressman, And was living in Washington; With Doris Pike as a lobbyist, His bills were passed by the ton. Wayne Wenger and R. McGregor, too, Were in the Supreme Court; They’d never lost a case, because Their arguments allowed no retort. Mildred Gollwitzer was a news reporter, And Viola Taylor, too; 1917 They would make Bill Goodman, the editor, Quite wild at the tricks they’d do. But when they got tired of bothering him They went to the printer, Monk Slack; The type he set was not very good. He was afraid Bill would give him the sack. Elsie Wilbur had acquired motion picture fame, Her curls were her fortune, they say; Mary Pickford was the one rival in sight, But had long since fallen by the way. F. Ruff ran a factory for chewing gum, And tested every piece that was made; “I don’t want dissatisfied patrons,” said she, “So I’m sure this is all very high grade.” Hazel Cogswell was running a Beauty Column, Telling people how to keep thin. “Advice to the Love-lorn,” was written by Spence, Many a marriage was owed to him. Bill Brandt and F. Owen ran a modern farm, ’Twas said that the latest style Was raising eggs from eggplant— They had Burbank skinned a mile. Emilie Rottiers taught kindergarten, The tots loved her gentle ways; Louise Otto was helping her, Both said that the business paid. Roxanna Forrest was a palmist, In that art she had won much fame; Her best customers were two milliners, M. Bujold and Helen Behm. L. Krauseneck was a librarian, With her nose always in a book; If you’d look at its title you’d see it said : “How to Win Men by Hook or Crook.” Harold Whitcomb kept a candystore, With Bernice at his side; He couldn’t even look at the pretty girls Or Bernice would chase them outside. A famous stage claimed Marguerite Beck, She had won the hearts of all; For her snappy little Irish songs Brought her many a curtain call. Lucille Ohland was a designer of fashions, Her costumes were all the rage; Her “Lucille Models” were famous, But were used mostly on the stage. Milt Jameson as a business man Had been very successful of late; H-e kept a roasted peanut stand And charged a terrific rate. Back in good old Saginaw High, Helping our team to win, Was Archie McGregor, the basketball man. His coaching was full of vim. Mr. Tanis no longer presided in H—, Harriet Bray had taken his place; In order to pass, pupils sure had to cram 1917 Or the exams, they never could face. Lamora Thurman’s knowledge of Latin Had given her unlimited pleasure; For she interpreted classic dancing, And by Fifth Avenue was called clever. Lucy Alber was serving as a missionary, Ruth Heston was helping her work; They were now in the city of Mosul Teaching hymns to the heathen Turk. Irene Krebs had a wonderful talent In the line of baking bread, Which she sold in a small establishment— 1917 ft� :—£ .y) ii %V- ' . ' The people claimed ’twas like lead. The picture now flashed across the screen Was the rarest one of all: It showed Martha Roth with her dancing class, Her pupils looked ready to fall. Florence Frink had joined the Chautauqua, She led a quartet in song. Charlie Perkins gave booze lectures, Though his voice wasn’t very strong. The Follies had been made a greater success, The song hits sure were clever, Jerry Marks was the composer of these— People claimed he was the best ever. John Michie as a real estate man Was known as an excellent fake, He tried to sell to a millionaire Some land that was under a lake. Frances Dreier had taken the plunge, Her heart was without a pang; She traveled o’er the country wide And played for her husband, who sang. Ralph Whatley’d invented an aeroplane Which did not turn out quite right (It’s now used as a sewing machine by his wife— He’s given up all hopes of a flight). Howard Schmelzer had made a fortune Out of his cartoon magazine ; He’d put all others on the bum. His was the best that had ever been seen. Clara Beyer had gone to a Chinese school, Cleland Phillips worked there, too; He was teaching Greek to the native boys Who had nothing else to do. Ted Timchac had left civilization. And was a cowboy on a Western plain; He worked on Madeline Corlett’s ranch, Where the wild horses he did train. Midge Grainger had entered Secret Service, Her detective work was great. Gene Oppermann was in the Philippines Trying to sell furs at a reasonable (?) rate. Bing Schirmer was seen in West Africa Teaching the natives to dance ; McKnight manufactured a new kind of dye Obtained from the hair on his head; Many a complexion thrived under its use, For it was a most fiery red. Yvonne Berube was his partner slim, They taught the “Hawaiian Prance.’’ Zella was happy at last with Roy, They used to live in Spain, But they’re back again in the U. S. A., For her Spanish nearly drove him insane. B. Baskin’s picture then flashed on the screen. As at making toys she did sit; “Made in Germany” labels don’t count any more 1917 “U. S. A.” made a much better hit. Vera Berry and Helen Dreier Were running a ladies’ shampoo; “We use soft water, just fine for soft heads,” Was the motto they held most true. Doe Koehler had charge of a large orphans’ home, The orphans had it easy, however, For, assisted by Marguerite Cush way, She taught them tricks that were clever. Arthur Smith and Edward Rimmele Had a farm in Michigan, They made pork sausage out of pigiron, Upsetting all tradition. Some of our girls made bandages, Julia Longfelder led the band; Zelma Hales’ work was very ornate, She embroidered them by hand. Hannah Snyder and Katherine Stapleton Had a shop with good things to eat; They called it “Interior Decorating,” A title which was most meet. Nina McDonough and Donna Orr Were making holes in Swiss cheese; Louisa Bromm and Carrie Hardy Raised silkworms on mulberry leaves. Lil Prottengeier now graced the stage, She had a diving stunt. Klenoski and Graham in East India Had killed many lions in the hunt. Phoebe Willis and Bessie Pierce Had stenography as their trade; Their employer called them Mutt and Jeff, A term which could not be gainsaid. Wanda Gillingham taught agriculture, With Cecil Pequinot; They tried to till the Rockies, But only broke their hoe. M. Volz and Helen Pries came last on the list, They were stitching American flags; They have made a very great number, But their interest never lags. As the last view faded from the screen The reel clicked and the film was done. They turned to each other and one of them said, “Censoring this has been just fun.” And as they both tried to talk at once Of the picture they had seen, A voice seemed to say, “Success and Good Luck To the Class of Seventeen.” ELIZABETH PAYNE. GERTRUDE FELDMANN. STEPPING STONES As my memory takes me backward to September of ’13, I see a band of Freshmen, looking Anything but green, S. H. S.’s steps ascending with eager, Hopeful mein, To learn the noble lesson: “Things aren’t Always what they seem.” But of all the brave three hundred of which Above you’ve read, Only less than half were able across the Road to tread, For many of our number were filled with Fear and dread That they might not be able to grace the Sophomore Spread. Again our rank decreases, we’re minus Thirty-nine, For these unhappy mortals for knowledge Didn’t pine, And though they started with us and Succeeded for a time, Among the ranks of Juniors their names Have failed to shine. As grave and reverend Seniors we’ve reached The cherished goal, With just about one hundred whose names Are on the scroll, With “Quality not Quantity” we’ve tried To fill the role, And leave these halls of wisdom—our Diplomas as our toll. THELMA CUBBAGE. i M I 11 III I I I I i' 1 mnttii f � If� � � t Ml IM MIIIIIMllH 1 4 � 0|i ARGOT’ Margot!” The voice of grandmother MacNeill wafted gently thru the sweet-scented air of the orchard to where Margret MacNeill snuggled cozily in the hammock, rapturously reading a novel. The girl took one more lingering look at her book and reluctantly laid it on a bench under the trees—the bench “father had made when he was a boy.” Margret gave it a loving pat and then cheerily called, “Coming, grandmother,” as she start- ed towards the house. It was a bonny farm. Margret looked about her with loving eyes—at the orchard at the right of the low white rambling house with its green roof which blended so harmoniously with the trees; at the low white buildings which sheltered the cattle and poultry; at the high, high barn in which she had romped and slid ddwn the hay loft every summer since childhood. Over past the meadow on the left, laughingly babbled a merry stream—“Davy’s Brook” they called it—named after her father, who had spent so many happy hours of his boyhood there “fishin’ fer perch.” The cows mooed gently in the meadows. The doves cooed lovingly overhead. O, how she loved this green and white dove coted place! It had been the home of “Weelyum” and Jean MacNeill for almost forty years. Here, Margret’s father—David MacNeill, was born and reared. Margret herself had always spent her summers and vacations with grandmother and grandfather MacNeill. With tears in her eyes, Margret remembreed how she and her father and mother had romped thru that orchard; how they had laughingly splashed in “Davy’s Brook.” But six years ago she had lost her mother, and her father had ceased to romp. Margret had gone to Boarding School for two years and then to College. Now, she was back to rest up and grow happy thru the love of her grandparents. “Weelyum” and Jean MacNeill, like the thrifty Scots they were, were well-to-do farmers. But their farm was strictly “moder-r-n” as they trilled it. They gloried in the fact! The house was the essence of the “moder-r-rn” age, and next to “Davy” and “Margot,” it was the pride of Jean MacNeill’s heart. Here, in their bower of “moder-r-rnity” and beauty, Jean and Weelyum MacNeill lived and loved. “Ye’ve bin a lang tame a’ comin,’ lass,” gently admonished the grandmother. “I’ve been looking about a bit, granny. It’s such a wonder- ful day. I—I was just thinking.” “Ah, lass, dinna be a’ thinkin’ sae lang aboot it. Is it tears I see in yere bonny e’en?” she cried in consternation. “Ye’ve bin awa frae hame tae lang, lass—tae lang. Ye need yere granny, my wee dove. Noo,” she cried as she strove to talk gayly, “Dry yere e’en! Scoot doon tae the bar-r-rn and call yere gran’daddy tae hae a bite tae eat and don’t be breakin’ yere haert awa.” “Dear old granny,” thot Margret as she sped down to the barn. “If I was fifty years old, I’d still be her “wee dove” and her “bonny lass.” “Dinner, Grandfather! It’s time for dinner!” she called gayly to the recesses of the barn. No answer. Margret called louder. The mare in the stall neighed, but that was all the answer she received. “Grandy! Grandy!” she shrieked, as she went out of doors. “Dinner!” “Weel! Weel! Dinna tell the folk at toon aboot it!” an- swered a hearty voice from the direction of the poultry sheds, and “Weelyum” MacNeill hove in sight. Time and nature had been kind to him. Altho sixty-two years old, his huge frame was but slightly bent. His merry blue eyes twinkled always. A thatch of “snae” white hair crowned his rugged, kind old face. On their way to the house he slipped his arm about Margret. “It seems so guid tae hae my lassie hame agen. We hae missed ye, Margot. Ye’re most growed up noo lassy. Margot!” he cried in sudden consternation, “Y—ye dinna think o’ marryin’?” “Heavens, no! Grandfather,” she assured him. “Not even a ‘case.’ ” “Case” was a new word to Weelyum but he thot it must be all right — it probably was “moder-r-n.” “Ye know,” he apologized, “ye’re grandmaether wuz but tweenty when we hae Davy, ye’re faether, and I twa years elder. Ye’re noo a’ most that auld, Margot,” he reminded her looking down in her face “But I suppose in these “moder-r-rn” days it is different, eh Margot? I—I am sae glod! I couldna’ bear tae hae a mon a-courtin’ o’ my lassie,” he smiled affectionately at her. “Don’t worry, grandy. I’m a confirmed old maid. Do you know, grandy, I’ve made up my mind to have a gay old time this summer? Someday this week I’m going to put on the clothes I wore when I was steen’ and go and fish in Davy’s Brook.” “Thots the way I like tae hear ye talk, lass. Dinna grow up tae soon. Ye have tame and tame, before ye! But,” he added, “Ye’re a bonny lassie!” “Flatterer! Grandy,” she confided, “when I find a man like you and father Davy, and know I can spend my days in peace and love like you and granny, then, and then only will I be tempted. But Molly says—you know, my room-mate—Molly says that to ‘take it from her, men like your father are as rare as a blizzard in July’ Weelyum beamed. “That’s a fine lass—Molly. We must hae her make us a visit.” “She would love it, grandy. I will invite her soon. She is as fine an “Irishman” as ever drew breath.” “I hae nothin’ agin the Irish, Margot.” “If you ever had, Molly would make you change your mind.” “Weel, I’ll be drawed on! What are ye twa a’ gabblin’ aboot?” cried Jean MacNeill from the doorway, as she surveyed them with loving eyes. “Ye look like a pair o’ lovers strale-in’ thru the lane. Weelyum, w'hat’s up? I’ll wager the lass is a’ beggin somethin, o’ ye.” “Na, Na, ye’re wrang aboot it, Jean. But I hae just “told” Margot she might invite that Molly lass tae visit us.” “Molly! I always thot her a bonny lass, Weelyum. She sent me that bee-u-tiful plan o’ our new moder-r-rn porch. You think she will like it noo, Margot?” she questioned eagerly. “Without a doubt, Granny.” “Write her this nicht, Margot. This nicht! This place hae bin achin tae lang for the sound o’ young voices. She must write her this nicht, eh Weelyum?” entreated Jean. Margret wrote. And that night too! The next day, as she told her grandfather she would, Margot dressed in the clothes she w'ore when she was “ ‘steen’ ”—middy blouse, kilted skirt about an inch or two above her shoe tops, and a “pigtail” down her back. Taking a fishing rod she skipped gaily down to “Davy’s Brook.” Here, she cast her line and gazed dream- ily at the blue, blue sky. The distant cooing of the doves wafted to Margret s ears, as she sat on the bank, her back propped against a tree, and closing her eyes, she began to dream of bygone days. Her pole jerked excitedly! A bite! She arose to her feet and forgetting how to “land” a fish, she suddenly swung the pole with the squirming, shining perch, wildly in a circle about her. “Ouch!” roared a strange masculine voice. Margret looked around aghast! She saw a young man busily engaged in wiping his damp, young face with his pocket handker- chief. Oh, did I—did I hit you?” faltered Margret. “No, the fish did,” grinned the young man as he continued to mop his brow. “Oh, my goodness! I’m awfully sorry! Honestly I am!” she apologized. “Oh, that’s all right! You blamed youngsters will learn how to pull in a fish, in time,” he said affably. “Youngster? Margret was about to “give him a piece of her mind” when she suddenly remembered how she was dressed ! Sure enough! He thot her a kid! Margret smiled. “Yes, sir,” she said meekly and gathering up her “paraphern- alia” was off in the direction of the house, while the “assaulted” young man roared in delight as he watched her slender, young figure running down the sloping path. When she arrived breathlessly at the house, she threw herself in the hammock and laughed till the tears streamed down her face. Then, she began to wonder what he was doing there and who he was. She couldn’t place him as any of the young farmers around there, and, besides, she could tell by his clothes he was not. No!— he was not a farmer—Margret was sure of that. When Molly Donivan arrived a few days later, Margret glee- fully told her of her “adventure.” “Next time wear rompers,” suggested Molly,” and pull a toy cart.” Of course, with the sprightly Molly about, time passed on merrily, but soon, however, things began to “bore” them. “Marg, let’s look for your young man again. He sounds very interesting,” suggested Molly. “My young man! Mercy me, Molly! Why he’s probably been happily married for ten years or so and has an interesting little family.” “Joy killer,” hissed Molly. “Me plans are blasted!” “Let’s go in and tog up, Molly. I’m getting tired of slouch- 1917 1 ing around in these old duds, aren’t you ? Come on ! Let’s put on our light dresses and then—play a game of—croquet!” “Zip! Bang! I feel quite giddy over your perfectly excit- ing pians! But really, ‘Margot,’’’jested Molly. “I’m afraid my constitution is too delicate to allow me to partake in any game so vigorous as croquet!” When they appeared in their gay, crisp, summer frocks, they were indeed a “sight for the gods.” Margret resembled a wild rose in her delicate pink, while Molly, in yellow, flitted about like a sunbeam. “Ye’re a bonny pair.,” beamed Grandmother MacNeill. “I’ll hae tae be keepin’ my e’en on ye.” “Yes, grandmother, protect us from the friendly dispositions of the cows!” “And the wiggly fish,” added Molly. “Oh, for an adventure,” sang Margret, as she gave the croquet ball a vigorous bang. “I’ll tell you, Maggie, me darlint, let’s go and station ourselves in the road. One of the passing machines will run over us and will take us to the hospital where we will fall in love with the village doctor and—” “Rave on, Pauline, rave on! Why we couldn’t both fall in love with the same man!” “Well, you don’t have to remind me of it, do you?” wailed Molly in mock dismay.” Maybe—maybe, there would be two. Anyway, I borrow him, if we do land there! Come on! We will now go and watch for our destiny,” she cried, as she pulled Margret toward the road. They searched the “highway” long and eagerly! It was as barren as the Sahara Desert! Suddenly from one of the cross- roads, a lone traveler came in sight. “O, shoot!” lamented Molly. “Well, you yanked me out here, and here I stay. How can you tell but yon dusty traveler might be—Our Adventure,” Margret prophesied. “Yours, maybe, but not mine!” Molly cried disgustedly,” mine will come in an aeroplane, or, at least, an auto.” 1917 “I beg your pardon,” said the ‘dusty traveler,’ who had arrived within speaking distance of the girls and stood with bared head,” but could you tell me where I could hire a team? My car—” Margret stared at him in dismay! Ye gods! It was the man of the fishing episode! “Why, Why—do my eyes deceive me?” stammered the young man as he stared in bewilderment at Margret. His face underwent a junior earthquake. Pardon me, but—but aren’t you the young lady who—who was fishing?” “N—o! I’m the ‘blamed youngster’ who flopped the fish in your face !” giggled Margret nervously. The young man’s face assumed a brilliant red color. “My name is Jerry Lee,” he mumbled, as he handed Margret a card on which was inscribed, “Gerald A. Lee—Landscape design- er, Cincinnati, O.” “Jerry-lee, Jerry-lee, I say unto you,” said Margret with grave concern,” My name is Margret MacNeill and this is my chum, Molly Donivan,” she said, as she pulled Molly from her oblivion in the background. “Shure, an’ it’s glad Oi am ta be meetin’ ye, Mhister Lee,” de- clared Molly as she made an elaborate courtesy. “Come on, we’ll find grandfather and see about your car,” com- manded Margret gaily. “I am making a short visit with my uncle, who lives on the adjoining farm,” explained Jerry, “And I was out surveying the beauty of the country and—” “Which ‘beauties’?” Molly chipped in. “Oh, the hills and streams, I assure you,” he returned. “Is Amos Lee your uncle?” suddenly inquired Margret. “Sure! Do you know him?” “I certainly do! He’s one of grandy’s best friends.” “How lovely!” Molly chirped dryly. The three searched for William MacNeill. “Grandfather, I want you to meet Mr. Lee. He’s having trou- ble with his car and w'ould like to borrow a team.” Weelyum eyed the young man suspiciously. “Amos Lee’s nephew,” supplemented Margret. Weelyum then assumed a more friendly aspect. “Ah! I’m glod tae meet ye, Mr. Lee. Ye’re—ye’re Jules Lee’s lad?” “Yes, sir.” “I ken your faether well, lad. A team ye were wantin’? Weel, we’ll see aboot it,” he mumbled as he shuffled toward the barn. “We were just wishing for something exciting to happen, when you came along,” confided Molly, while Margret jabbed her in the side. “O, you flatter me, madam,” gallantly returned Jerry as he bowed low. The girls laughed in delight. “Well, for pity’s sake don’t disappoint us!” said Margret audaciously. “You’ll be the death of me if you do,” added Molly as she edged beyond the range of Margret’s elbow. “Heavens! I’ll try my best not to. Now if that pesky car was only working—” “Oh, but it will be tomorrow,” interrupted Molly, excitedly. “Well, would you girls care to go tomorrow?” “Would we!” chorused the girls enthusiastically. “Only—I wish you could bring one of the farm hands for me,” suggested Molly blandly, “I hate being ‘an old maid’.” Margret gasped. She gave Molly a look that seared and stormed “Goose!” under her breath, but Molly smiled serenely back at her. She made up her mind that she would play the scheming matchmaker and determined that Margret and Jerry should be her prey. “Keno! I’ve got it!” declared Jerry. I’ll motor in to town tomorrow morning and bring my friend George Wallace out to spend the week-end. Let’s make it a picnic!” “Bravo, my lad! Bravo!” cried Molly joyously as she seized Margret and did an extemporary war-dance. “What time shall we be ready, Mr. Lee?” questioned Margret, after regaining her breath. “I suggest that we throw off all formality. You girls call me Jerry, huh?” “And us Margret and Molly, ‘huh’?” laughingly returned the girls. “It’s a go! Be ready about eleven. We will drive to some country inn and have lunch.” “Jerry, you’re a lucky find,” gurgled Molly. “Well, I don’t want to be responsible for your death,” re- turned Jerry. “Well, if that’s all you—” began Molly. “Oh, no! no!” assured Jerry hastily. The girls walked to the gate with him. “Goody by, Jerry,” they called. “See ya in the mornin’ ” he shouted back. “And O, Jerry,” called Molly as she cupped her hands to her mouth, “Don’t forget to bring ‘Jarge’,” she added while Margret laughingly dragged her toward the house. “An’ isn’t it just too great for words, Molly?” said Margret as she reviewed the day’s proceedings. “Too good to be true! Marg, if you could have seen the look on that man’s face when he recognized you, you’d have died laughing.” “I know it, Molly! And I wanted to crawl up a tree when I saw him. I’ll bet he thinks I’m crazy!” “Not on your life!” assured Molly. “Why he’s got an awful case ! He couldn’t see me at all! That’s why I insisted on ‘Jarge’,” “Molly! Molly! You’re a card. Isn’t Jerry good looking tho?” mused Margret. “He’s a wonder! But I prefer light men. They say, you know, that two people of the same complexion never get along well to- gether.” “Molly! Even though our complexions differ, I do not intend to marry Jerry,” asserted Margret in positive tones. “Well, I am planning for you!” announced Molly. “So I noticed! Well, with all your faults I love you still,” cried Margret as she dodged a pillow. “Well, believe me, Mawruss,” drawled Molly, “I’m not going to let a good thing like that flit past me. Anyway, I borrow ‘Jarge.’ I wonder what he looks like? Urn! Marge, I tell you I smell Romance in the air.” The next morning, Jerry Lee, his car once more in good condi- tion (he had worked almost all night over it), drove to town to get his friend, George Wallace. He raced into George's trim, little real estate office, plunked his friend’s hat on his head and proceeded to jerk him towards the door. “Hey, what’s the idea?” bawled George. “George, I’ve found the ideal girl for you! Found two prizes right next to Uncle Amos’s farm!” “Ah!” exclaimed George as he drew himself to his full height. “I always was fond of ‘Uncle Amos’ ? Jerry, when you speak, your mouth is full of words! Tell me some more about ’em!” “Well, they’re both scrumptious! One’s dark and the other one is on the auburn order. Urn! And one’s Irish and the other’s Scotch. Hurry, man, we have an engagement with them at eleven o’clock this noon.” “Lead me to ’em !” cried George. While driving out Jerry still raved on. “The dark one’s name is Molly Donivan. The auburn one’s Margret MacNeill. You should see her, George! The first time I met her, she was fishing and swatted a great fish in my face. Gee, I thot she was a kid because she had her hair down her back, an’ I said something about her being an ‘infant’ or something on that order. Whew! I wonder what I did say!” he pondered. “Well, next time I saw her—Wow! She was a young lady. She’s a wonder! Jove,—she’s got big blue eyes and—Why, boy, she’s got Venus gnashing her teeth!” “Pardon me, Mr. Lee,” interrupted George, drily, “but I take it that is your girl ?” “Well, yes—” admitted Jerry. “But the other one is a peach. She’ll keep you going George!” he warned. “Well, never mind jabbering! I’ll judge for myself. Put a little more speed on Jerry or we won’t get there on time. I’d hate to make a bad impression right away, y’ know!” Honk! Honk! “Ah, be still, my fluttering heart, be still,” cried Margret as she clasped her heart in mock tragedy. “Here they are, Marg, here they are!” cried Molly excitedly from her position in the upstairs window. And Marg, darling— he’s light!” Molly nearly fainted with joy. Grandmother MacNeill cordially invited the young men in. One, tall, erect, with dark, wavy hair; the other, tall, erect and fair, and who jigged about impatiently. “Molly, I hate to go down!” confided Margret nervously. “I feel like putting on a suit of tights and diving out the window disguised as Annette Kellerman.” “So do I! But come on, we’ve got to face the music.” Arm in arm, the two girls descended the broad staircase. “Whew!” thot George, “Catch me quick! I’m a goner!” The boys sprang to their feet. Everyone was embarrassed, but after the formality of the introductions, they proceeded gayly to the waiting auto. “I gotta hand it to you, Boy,” George managed to whisper in Jerry’s ear, “She’s a winner! Always was crazy about dark women.” The day whizzed along in a jubilant fashion; until Jerry suddenly noticed a sparkling diamond on the third finger of Mar- gret’s hand. His gaiety subsided. “My luck,” he groaned to himself. “I looked my fool eyes out until I find Her and then she’s engaged!” Margaret’s “graduation” ring had grown too small for her and she had thoughtlessly slipped it on her left hand. “Well, by jingoes, I’ll cut him out!” avowed Jerry. Then his better nature overwhelmed him. “No, I can’t take advantage of his absence,” he said with set jaws. “But,” he added, “there’s no use of spoiling the summer’s fun.” “Uncle Amos tells me that there’s a country dance tomorrow night,” he commented casually. “Oh, let’s go!” Margret cried enthusiastically. “I went once when I was a youngster and we had loads of fun.” “Well, anyway” Jerry exulted to himself, “She likes me a little or she wouldn’t want me to take her to the party.” George and Molly were entirely engrossed in each other and did not hear the conversation. “Hey, you two, did you hear what we said? We’re going to a country dance tomorrow night, by heck!” shouted Jerry. “Couldn’t have suited us better, eh, Molly!” was George’s confident reply. “Not a bit!” returned Molly with shining eyes. Accordingly, the next night, they joined the country lads and lassies in their merriment. They frolicked and danced the evening thru and after that became the best of pals. “Margot hae been comparin’ young Lee tae her faither an’ me,” grumbled Weelyum. “It’s thinkin I am that she’s changed her mind about marryin’.” As the summer passed on, George discovered that he needed “a rest,” and got in the habit of running out to “Uncle Amos’s” every week-end and frequently during the week, while Jerry decid- ed that the surrounding country was “balm to his artistic soul” and tried to see if he couldn’t “scare up” a Scotch ancestor. Slyly, but surely, he worked his way into the grandparents’ hearts while Hope surged in his own ! “Anyway, she never mentions his name,” he consoled himself, “and she seems to be having a good time with- out him.” One evening, while Margret and Jerry sat alone on the front porch, Molly and George appeared arm-in-arm. “Me and ‘Jarge’ have decided that we had better get married,” announced Molly breathlessly. “Molly!” shrilled Margret as they rushed into each other’s arms. “Congratulations, old top!” Jerry cried, enthusiastically, “See! didn’t I tell you I had the ideal girl for you?” On his way home Jerry’s thoughts were embittered. Some folks did have the worst luck, he thot gloomily. Tomorrow he would pack up and dig out! He had stayed too long now. He could think of no one but Margret, Margret, Margret! He loved her with every fibre of his soul, but, she belonged to another. To- morrow he would say goodbye and clear out. The next evening passed almost in silence with Jerry and Mar- gret. Their attitude toward each other was very strained. Molly and George were “disgustingly mushy” Jerry thot. Jerry asked Margret to take him to the gate. “I—I just want to tell you, Margret, that I—I’m leaving to- morrow morning!” A lump rose in Margret’s throat. Leaving? Just as she had been fervently hoping— Molly and George were engaged—oh, dear! She wanted to sob on his shoulder and tell him that he must never, never leave her! Why did he treat her so unfeelingly? Heaven knows Molly had always adroitly left them alone while she would wink know- ingly at Margret and then stroll off with ‘Jarge’. Margret tried to muster up her courage. “Aren’t you going—ah—rather unexpectedly, Jerry?” she questioned timidly, as she strove to control her quivering voice. “Yes, rather,” he said more abruptly than he had intended to. Then his voice softened. “And, and, Margret, I want to tell you that—that—he’s a lucky man and I—I envy him!” he blurted out. “Who—George ? ” “Why, no! The man you’re engaged to!” “Me! Engaged! Jerry, what are you talking about?” de- manded Margret. “Why—why Margret, do you mean to tell me you’re not en- gaged?” he cried incredulously. “Silly! Of course not!” “But your ring!” he insisted. Margret looked at her hand—there in all its innocence sparkled a diamond on her third finger. Now she saw it all! He thot she was engaged! Maybe—maybe he did love her after all! “That’s my graduation ring, Jerry!” “Margret—” Well, What’s the use of going on? You know what happen- ed. It’s an old story. “Dear,” muttered Jerry, “Never scare me again. You’ve got to love me extra hard for wasting so much time!” He raised her hand to his lips — the ring was gone ! “I think we had better have an emerald don’t you dear?” questioned Margret. “You bettcha!” suddenly interrupted a delightful young voice. “That stands for the Irish!” They turned to find George and Molly standing beside them. “No fair! No fair!” cried Margret. “Well, we couldn’t let you get ahead of us — could we Mar- gret?” stammered Jerry. “Well, this time, Margret,” gurgled Molly, “you landed some- thing somewhat larger than a perch!” ELEANOR MILLIGAN. 1917 _ Upon entering the great portals of learning we saw that the list of required studies contained English. In the beginning we dreaded this hour, but our fears were groundless, for it not only proved to be a very interesting subject but also a great benefit in that it enlarged our vocabulary, taught us to speak more fluently and led us to be concise. The first book in this course was “Treasure Island” which, as its name implies, took us on a treasure hunting trip with Steven- son and after many thrilling adventures the object of our ex- pedition was obtained. Our thoughts next turned to “Silas Mar- ner,” in which we saw how a little child led love and justice to reign instead of selfishness. The year’s work wound up with the “Iliad,” in which we made the acquaintance of many gods and goddesses who guided and governed the world and were the in- direct cause of the fall of Troy. Throughout this course essays were written, many of which were descriptions of the various char- acters of the books read. After our vacation, entering as Sophomore, we did not ex- perience the dread of our previous year but looked forward with delight to the English hour. Dicken’s “Tale of Two Cities” was read first and afforded us an insight to the French Revolution which was caused by the despotic and tyrannical ruling of the kings. Then, we were entertained by Scott with “The Lady of the Lake” with its vivid descriptions of Scotland’s beautiful Lochs and of the patriotism of the people to their leader, Roderick Dhu. Shake- speare was next on the list with “Caesar,” after whose burial we entered fairyland in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” which showed that the “course of true love never did run smooth.” We encoun- tered chivalry and knighthood in the “Idylls of the. King” which, when taken together, formed a parable of the life of man. Scan- ning and the various figures of speech were also taken up. Are we Juniors? This was the question asked by many of us when we received a Frank’s Grammar. We thought we had left our grammar days behind us, but after a few lessons we realized that our knowledge of grammar was very limited. Then followed the orations of our great Americans, Washington, Lincoln and Webster, which were interesting even though they were difficult. “Henry V” next attracted our attention, while the year was ended with “As You Like It” and Stevenson’s “Inland Voyage” which we followed with the greatest pleasure. Since we were dignified Seniors, we were considered capable of learning a new language, and much to our surprise it was not long ere we had mastered this dialect and “weren redy to wenden on our pilgrimage to Caunterbury with ful devout corage.” After learning of the manners and customs of the fourteenth century, we directed our attention to Shakespeare’s tragedies with the am- bitious Macbeth, aspiring to be king either by good or evil methods, deliberately choosing the evil, and we found “Hamlet” to be the source of the famous soliloquy, “To be or not to be.” Milton’s por- trayal of the contrasting views of life in “L’Allegro” and “II Pen- seroso” were next considered. With the completion of Burke’s “Conciliation” our greatest difficulty was at last conquered. Eag- erly we then engaged in busines letter writing to prepare us for the business world which most of us were to enter. As Commence- ment Day approached we knew “That all is well that ends well.” LOUISE OTTO. 1917 Die Lorelei In alten Zeiten liess sich manchmal auf dem Loreleifelsen in der Abenddammerung und beim Mondschein eine Jungfrau sehen. die mit so anmutiger Stimme sang, dass alle, die es horten, davon bezaubert wurden. Viele, die voriiberschifften, gingen am Fel- senriff oder im Strudel zugrunde, weil sie nicht mehr auf den Lauf des Fahrzeugesachteten. Nieinand hatte noch die Jungfrau in der Nahe gesehn, ais einige junge Fischer, zu diesen gesellte sie sich bisweilen im letzten Abendrat und zeigte ihnen die Stellen, wo sie ihr Netz auswerfen sollten, und jedesmal, wenn sie den Rat der Jungfrau befolgten, taten sie einen reichlichen Fang. Die Junglinge erzahlten nun, wohin sie kamen, von der Huld und Schonheit der Unbekannten, und die Geschichte verbreitete sich im ganzen Lande umher. Ein Sohn des Pfalzgrafen, der damals in der Gegend sein Hoflager hatte, horte die wundervolle Mar und fasste eine innige Zuneigung zu der Jungfrau. Unter dem Vor- wand, auf die Jagd zu gehn, nahm er den Weg nach dem Rhein, setzte sich dort in einen Nachen und liess sich stromaufwarts fahren. Die Sonne war eben untergegangen, und die ersten Sterne traten am Himmel hervor, als sich das Fahrzeug dem Loreleifelsen naherte. ,,Seht ihr sie dort, die verwiinschte Zauberin? Das ist sie gewiss!” riefen die Schiffer. Der Jungling hatte sie aber bereits erblickt, wie sie am Abhang des Berges, nicht weit vom Strame, sass und einen Kranz fur ihre goldenen Locken band. Jetzt vernahm er auch den Klang ihrer Stimme und war bald seiner Sinne nicht mehr miichtig. Er Notigte die Schiffer, an den Felsen anzufahren, und als er noch einige Schritte davon war, wollte er ans Land springen und die Jungfrau festhalten; aber er sprang zu kurz und versank in dem Strom, dessen schaumende Wogen iiber ihm zusammenschlugen. 1917 Die Nachricht von dieser traurigen Begebenheit kam schnell zu den Ohren des Pfalzgrafen. Schmerz und Wut zerrissen die Seele des armen Vaters, der auf der Stelle den strengsten Befehl erteilte, ihm die Unholdin tot oder lebendig zu liefern. Einer seiner Hauptleute ubernahm es, den Willen des Pfalzfrafen zu vollziehen; doch bat er sich aus, die Hexe ohne weiteres in den Rhein stiirzen zu diirfen, damit sie sich nicht vielleicht durch lose Kiinste aus Kerker und Banden befreie. Der Pfalzgraf war dies zufrieden. Der Hauptmann zog gegen Abend aus und umstellte mit seinen Reisigen den Berg in einem Halbkreise vom Rheine aus. Er selbst nahm drei der beherztesten aus seiner Schar und stieg den Felsen hinan. Die Jungfrau sass oben auf der Spitze und hielt eine Schnur von Bernstein in red Hand. Sie sah die Manner von fern kommen und rief ihnen zu, was sie hier suchten. ,,Dich, Zauberin!” antwortete der Hauptmann, „Du sollst einen Sprung in den Rhein dahinten machen!” ,,Ei,” sagte die Jungfrau lachend, ,,der Rhein mag mich holen.” Bei diesen Worten warf sie die Bernsteinschnur in den Strom hinab und sang mit schauerlichem Ton : Urplotzlich rauschte ein Sturm daher; der Rhein erbrauste, dass weitum Ufer und Hohen von weissem Goscht bedeckt wurdem; zwei Wellen, welche fast die Gestalt von zwei weissen Rossen hatten, flogen mit Blitzesschnelle aus der Tiefe auf die Kuppe des Felsens und trugen die Jungfrau hinab in den Strom, wo sie ver- schwand. Jetzt trst erkannten der Hauptmann und seine Knechte, dass die Jungfrau eine Undine sei, und manschliche Gewalt ihr nichts anhaben konne. Sie kehrten mit der Nachricht zu dem Pfalzgrafen zuriick und fanden dort mit Erstaunen den totgeglaubten Sohn, den eine Welle ans Ufer getragen hatte. Die Jungfrau liess sich von der Zeit an nicht wieder horen, obgleich sie noch ferner den Berg bewohnte, und die Voriiber- schiffenden durch das laute Nachaffen ihre Reden neckte. „Vater, geschwind, geschwind, Die weissen Rosse schick deinem Kind, Es will reiten mit Wogen und Wind.” FRANCES K. DREIER. Jeanne d’Arc En 1412, clans le petit village francjais de Domremy, une fille est nee, qui etait destinee non seulement a souffrir et a mourur pour son pays et pour son Dieu, mais a vivre pour toujours dans le coeur de toutes les nations, une martyre et une sainte, Jeanne d’Arc. Quand elle etait jeune, Jeanne entendait les contes de l’his- toire de France, les histoires des guerres avec l’Angleterre, et de la proclamation de prince anglais en Roi de France. Son jeune coeur s’ebflait de fidele patriotisme pour le pauvre Dauphin, et elle abondonnait souvent sa meme chambre a un voyageur afin qu’elle put acquerir de lui tout ce qu’il savait de la condition de la guerre. Elle ne paraissait jamais decouragee quand les anglais reussissaient elle paraissant jamais douter un monent que les Anglais be fussent defaits a la fin. Un joue, a midi, en etant dans le jardin de son pere, elle vit une clarte, tres belle et tres brillante, et entendid une vioz etrange mais douce qui lui dit que si elle continuait d’etre bonne, Dieu la benirait surement. Mais, ce ne fur que le commencement! Comme la condition de la France empirait, elle voyait des visions qui la signalient comme la liberatrice de son pays. Que ferait elle, une simple vierge? Sa propre famille craignit qu’elle ne fut dominee par son imagination! La premiere demarche fur une visite chez son oncle, Durand Laxart, a qui elle reconta ses visions. II fut etonne, mais la foi de Jeanne fut si simple et si ardente qu’il promit de l’aider de tout son pouvoir Le gouverneur a qui il appellait, repliqua en mepris. “Donne un soufflet a ta niece et envoie-la chez son pere!” Cependent, la Pucelle ne fut pas decouragee, et, fortifiee de sa priere, elle alia trouver le Dauphin lui-meme. L’opposition, qu-on lui faisait, etait forte, mais enfin le roi la re ut. Bien que le Dauphin se fut entoire a dessein de courtisans, la pauvre paysanne le reconnut tout de suite, tomba a genoux et dit: “Noble Dauphin, je m’appelle Jeanne, la Pucelle. Le Roi de ciel m’envoie vous dire que vous serez consacre et couronne a Reims, et serez lieutenant de Roi de Ciel, qui est France!” La bataille d’Orleans est maintenant une brillante lumiere de l’histoire de France mais la memoire de cette brave Pucelle est meme plus brillante. Vetue de son armoire blanche, montant son beau cheval noir et avec sa banniere blanche, bradee a flieurs-de- lis, a la main, elle meme etait une inspiration. L’effet produit par la delivrance d’Orleans fut outre calcul. Tout le monde reconnut qu’elle etait ul’beuvre d’une force surnaturelle et la generale im- pression fut qu Charles VII. avait la justice de son cote. Cepen- dant, Jeanne seule vit qu’ill fallut couronner Charles tout de suite. Quoiqu’il y eut bien de l’opposition elle reussit a faire son chemin par les forces des Anglais et Charles fut couronne a Reims, dimanche, le 17 Juillet, 1429, au milieu d’une splendeur extraord- inaire. Au moment qu la couronne fut placee sur la tete de Charles, la Pucelle se mit aux genoux de Dauphin et embrassa ses jambes versant un toerent de larmes. Elle avait accompli la vo- lonte de Dieu, elle avait finf ce qu’il lui avait ordonne de faire! Plut au ciel que cela eut ete la fin! Pauvre fille! Le peu de mois qui suivaient ne tinrent pas de gloire, de plaisir pour elle. Au Mai prochain elle se mit a la tete de six mille cavaliers en la der- niere marche de sa vie! II est impossible de s’imaginer la torture qu’elle endurait en prison, l’agonie mentale qu’ell, souffrait a cause d’etre si cruelle- ment questionnee. La fin doit en quelque sotte avoir ete un soulage- ment. Calme et fidele a son dieu, elle affronte la morte avec un 1917 souris. La perfidie qui la faissait signer son meme ordre d’execu- tion ne peut jamais etre pardonee! Au Marche de Rouen, devant des milliers, cette belle jeune fille, ce noble, ardent coeur, brula a cendre. Encore une fois, elle declara son innocence, maid en vain! Elle etait attachee a la pile et sur son pale front etait placee une mitre avec ces mots incrits. “Heretique, Relapse, Apostate, Idolatyre!” La pile fut allumee, les flammes s’etendirent rapidement et maintenant l’envelopperent, mais alors, elle se fia a Dieu. A la fin, comme sa tete tombait a son sein, sa claire voix ecria son dernier mot, “JESUS!” M. GOLLWITZER. EI Capitolio De Washington En Washington, capital de los Estados Unidos de America hay muchos editicios magnificos. EI Capitolio esta en la Colina Capitolina, costo trece millones de pesos y es una de los mas her- mosos editicios dei mundo. La piedra angular del editicio princi- pal fue colocado por el Presidente Washington el 18 de septiembre de 1793, y todo el editicio quedo terminado en 1827. El se edified en estilo puramente clasico con dos alas inmensas de marmol blanco, extendiendose de un editicio central construido de piedra amarilla pintada en blanco. El piso principal esta adornado con tres porticos magnificos hermoseados por pilares Corintios. Se entra en la rohunda por la puerta celebrada de bronce que es de diez y siete pres de altura y nueve pies de anchura. El relieve en la puerta conmemora el descubrimiento de America por Colon. Las paredes dei interior de la rotunda que es de ciento y ochenta pies de altura y noventa y seis pies de anchura estan ornamentadas con ocho entrepanos que contienen pinturas de escenas de la his- toria americana. Encima de la rotunda esta la cupula famosa que esde noventa y seis pies de diametro y doscientos y veinte piee de altura. Una escalera de caracol entre los muros interior y ex- terior conduce al corredor de la cupula que ofrece una vista ex- celente de las pinturas al fresco. La mas atractiva parte dei edi- ticio es la imponente cupula que se destaca desde un peristilo de columnas corintias terminando en una linterna desde la cual des- cuella la estatua de la libertad. Una de los mas interesantes rasgos dei Capitolio es la Sala de Estatuas. Aqui estan las estatuas de los dos mas distinguidos hombres de cada estada de la Union. Se dice que la Sala de Representantes situada al sur dei editicio es la mas elegante camara legislativa dei mundo. Contiene corredores con mil quinientas sillas para los espectadores y escritorios para los miembros. La Camara dei Senado situada al norte contiene tam- bien sillas para los visitadores y escritorios para los Senadores. Ambas camaras estan elegantemente adornados y son muestras esplendidas de arquitectura. EI Capitolio contiene tambien la oficina dei Vice-Presidente y camaras de los comites diferentes. En la seccion del nordeste del edificio principal hay un salon sep- arado en el cual se celebran las reuniones dei Tribunal Supremo. Las tierras que circumdan el Capitolio incluyen cerca de cincuenta acres y se dividen en tierras, orientales y occidentales. Forman una muestra hermose de jardineria de paisaje y estan adornadas con piezas numerosas de estatuaria y muchas fuentes. El Capitolio hecibira pronto la mas extensa adicion que jamas se haya hecho a el, lo que es especialmente significante dei hecho que la historia completa dei edificio ha incluido una serie de adi- ciones al nucleo de simetrias bastante flacas. El projecto presente data de la primavera de 1901 cuando al arquitecto dei Cauitolio, fue mandado, de preparar los planos para la extension de la parte central del Capitolio para la renovacion y la decoracion de la rotunda y para el establecimiento en la tierra contigua al Capitolio de un edificio apiro para oficinas y almacenes. La parte nueva aumentara la majestad dei efecta cuando se lo mira como un total. En pocas palabras la construccion nueva no dara solamente la impresion de mas grande profundidad y densidad en el edificio completa sino tambien proveera una base mas grande mas ancha y por consiguiente mas imponente para la cupula maciza.

MINARD. _ LAOCOON’S FATE With wonder some the offer- ing see, Astonished at the massive steed; Thymoetes loudly first implores That it be drawn within the doors, Through treachery of the skill- ful foe, Or else Troy’s fate thus tended so. Surrounded with a band of youths Laocoon from the height fast flew, And from afar: “Countrymen, rash, Think you your foe away has dashed? Are Grecian gifts e’er free from schemes? Is not Ulysses known to dream? Perhaps this wooden horse we see Conceals the Grecian enemy. Or engine ’tis against the town To spy and fall upon us down; FATA LAOCOONTIS “Pars stupet innuptae donum exitiale Minervae et molem mi- rantur equi; primusque Thy- moetes duci intra muroshorta- tur et arce locari, sive dolo seu iam Troiae sic fata ferebant.” “Primusibiante omnes, mag- na comitante caterva, Laocoon ardens summa decurrit ab arce, et procul: ‘O, miseri, quae tante insania, Cives?

Against the stomach of the beast. It quivering stood; with deaf- ening screech The engine hollow loudly shook. More ghastlier portents, far indeed, Our blinded hearts then came to lead. Laocoon, Neptune’s chosen seer, Was offering up a mighty steer. When lo! from Tenedos — I fear To tell the tale you long to hear — With coils immense, twin ser- pents glide, And, side by side, they stem the tide; Amid the waves, upreared, their breasts, O’ertop the flood, their blood- red crests; The rest behind them skims the deep; aut aliquis latet error: equo ne credite, Teucri. Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos ct dona fer- entes.’ Sic fatus validis ingen- tem viribus hastam in latis in- que feri curvam compagibus alvum contorsit.

Laocoon tries their blows to foil, Around him, then, their spires they coil: About his waist and neck twice sprang O’ertopped him with their heads and fangs. He tries their knotted coils to break, And dark gore do his fillets take; Such cries to heaven he duly raised As bulls, when knives their necks have grazed, But which escape the altar’s place.

An American Citizen A democratic republic such as ours in the United States is an effort to realize in its fullest sense government by the people, of the people, and for the people. It represents the most gigantic of all possible social experiments, the one fraught with greatest possibilities alike for good and for evil. The success of a republic like ours means the glory, and our failure the despair of mankind. Under other forms of government the quality of the rulers is all-important. If under such a government the quality of the rulers is high enough then the nation may for generations lead a brilliant career and add substantially to the sum of world achievement, no matter how low the quality of the average citizen, because the average citizen is an almost negligible quantity in working out the results of that type of national greatness. But in America the case is different; for us the quality of the individual citizen is supreme. In the long run, success or failure will be conditional upon the way in which the average man, the average woman, does his or her duty, first in the ordinary, every- day affairs of life, and next in those great occasional crises which call for the heroic virtues. The American citizen must be a good citizen if the republic is to succeed. The stream will not perman- ently rise higher than the main source and the main source of national power is found in the average citizenship of the nation. Therefore, it behooves us to do our best to see that the standard of the average American citizen is kept high. Let those Americans who have, keep, and let those who have not, strive to attain a high standard of cultivation and scholarship. Yet, let us remember that these stand second to other things. There 1 1917 is need of a sound body and even more need of a sound mind. But above mind and body stands character — the sum of those qual- ities which we mean when we speak of a man’s force and courage, of his good faith and sense of honor. I believe, of course, in giving to all people a good education. But the education must contain much besides book-learning to be really good. We must remember that no keenness, no subtleness of intellect, no polish, no cleverness can in any way make up for the lack of the great solid qualities. Self-restraint, self-mastery, common sense, the power of accepting individual responsibility, and yet of acting in conjunction with others, courage, resolution — these are the qualities which make a masterful people. Without them no people can control itself, or save itself from being controlled from the outside. I pay all hom- age to intellect, and to elaborate and specialized training of the intellect but more important that this are the commonplace every- day qualities and virtues. Especially prominent among these common every-day qualities is the will and the power to work. The need that the average man shall work is so obvious as hardly to warrant insistence. There are a few people in every country so born that they can lead lives of leisure. It is very evident that these people of leisure do not carry out their duties as American citizens because they fail to do anything definite in the development of the nation. However, this class is small since the average man must earn his own liveli- hood. He should be trained to do so, and he should be trained to know that his position is a contemptible one if he fails to do so. In the next place the American citizen must be both a strong and a brave man. He should be able to fight, to serve his country as a soldier, if the need arises. There are well-meaning philoso- phers who disclaim against the unrighteousness of war. They are right only if they can lay all their emphasis upon the unrighteous- ness. War is a dreadful thing and unjust war is a crime against humanity. The choice must ever be in favor of righteousness, and this, whether the alternative be war or whether the alternative be peace. The question must not merely be, “Is there to be peace or war?” The question must be, “Is the right to prevail?” And the answer from a strong and virile people must be, “Yes,” whatever the cost. Every honorable effort should always be made to avoid war, but no true and self-respecting citizen, nor any self-respecting nation can or ought to submit to wrong. Besides a sound body, a sound mind, the will and power to work, to fight at need, and a strong character, it is essential that a citizen of the United States of America should have high ideals, which, when realized, lead the citizen to loftier ambitions. How- ever, no permanent good comes from aspirations so lofty that they have become fantastic and impossible and, moreover, undesirable to realize. The impracticable visionary is far less often the guide than he is the embittered foe of the real reformer, the man who, with repeated stumblings and shortcomings, does in some shape, in a practical fashion, give effect to hopes and desires of those who strive for better things. The republic of the United States is one of the most precious heirlooms ever bestowed on mankind through the ages. It is the duty and should be the delight of every citizen to strengthen and perpetuate this government by the observance of its laws and by the integrity of his private life.

In nineteen thirteen the Class of ’17 entered Saginaw High as Freshmen. The greater part of the first semester was spent in getting used to our strange surroundings. December twelfth the first party was held in the gymnasium and was called the Freshman Frolic. The program consisted of recitations and dancing. Having had some experience in the social world the social events of our Sophomore year looked very promising. On March nineteenth of our second year the Sophomore Spread was given in the gym. from four to eight. The beginning number was the grand march, led by the president, William Goodman, and vice president, Eleanor Milligan. The gym. was decorated with electric lights and colored paper streamers. In the very center a box filled with favors, yellow and white chickens and chrysanthemums, was sus- pended. The class banner was hung at one end of the hall. The entertainment consisted of dancing and an auction sale, at which Mr. Lichtner acted as auctioneer. Refreshments were served in the diningroom, which was beautifully decorated with yellow and white tulips. One of the most enjoyable events of our Junior year was the annual Junior Hop, given in the banquet hall of the Auditorium. The hall was decorated with smilax, gold roses and poinsettias, representing the class colors. Dancing continued until twelve o’clock. “A Rehearsal at Ten” was the play given by the Class of ’17, Friday, June 2, 1916. It proved a great success as an entertain- ment as well as financially. 1917 Friday, March 16, 1917, an informal Senior Party or “Shindig” was held in the gym. A novel entertainment was given by mem- bers of the Class and Faculty. James Brown rendered a violin solo accompanied by Lucille Ohland. A very good imitation of a music box was given on the piano by Albert Schirmer and Alfred Huss. A silent drama was presented by Florence Ruff, Katherine Miller, Eleanor Milligan, Walter Slack, Raphael McGregor and Fred Hout. A dancing doll was given by Marguerite Beck and Gertrude Feld- mann, and “Romeo and Juliet” was touchingly sung by Edwin Johnson and James Spence. The surprise of the evening was “Ye Olde Tyme Album” given by the Faculty. Added attractions were a shooting gallery, a museum and an electrical display. Lunch was served from five to six in self-serve style. Dancing was enjoyed until eight-thirty. Full of wit, humor and musical comedy, “A Rehearsal at Ten,” the play selected by the Junior Class of 1917 of the Saginaw High School, was presented before an appreciative and enthusiastic audience at the Germania Hall, Friday, June 2, 1916. The play itself afforded unusual opportunities for the effort of the people that took part. The play was coached by Miss Cath- erine Douglas and Miss Fannie Burnham and the success it attained was a tribute to their efforts. The following people formed the cast: Hiram Cheep.............................James Brown Willie Jump.....................'......Gerald Marks Percy Penn..............................Emery Krebs Alexander .........................peter Cuthbertson Herman von E.

Dancers: Elizabeth Payne, Ruth Warner. The play consisted of one act and portrayed the complete failure of a theatrical company at the initial production to perform in anything like an acceptable manner. They are so fearfully poor that the stage manager, Hiram Cheep, gives up in disgust. He announces he will put on a vaudeville show instead. Every- one is called on for specialties. Marguerite Beck won her fame as a comedian by singing an Irish song. Following this Gerald Marks and Fred Hout as “Props” and “Simon Saw” distinguished themselves in light comedy, while the former also played accom- paniments for the musical numbers. 1917 The aesthetic dance by Elizabeth Payne and Ruth Warner proved to be one of the most enjoyable features. Harold McKnight and Eugene Oppermann sang a laughable Coony Coon song. Wes- ley Mitts and Alfred Hudson played accompaniments to the songs on the banjo. Elsie Wilbur appeared in a Scotch song and Lucy Alber in a butterfly song. MARGARET JUDD. The school year of 1916-17 saw us embarked on our second year of Public Speaking. The year before, when Public Speaking was first introduced, was spent mainly in becoming familiar with the subject, although some very good work was done. This year, however, found us ready and waiting for it. There is a marked difference in the attitude we now have toward Public Speaking. The spirit of indifference and the tolerant attitude of last year has been replaced by an entirely new attitude. We have awakened to the fact that Public Speaking is not a whip held over our heads to make us do as we do not wish to, or be punished. We are grad- ually learning just how much Public Speaking is doing for us. Public Speaking does not aim to make public orators of us but rather to aid us in expressing ourselves more fluently. It is not probable that after we leave school we shall be called upon to make speeches every day; but it is altogether true that we will be using oral English, hence, we should cultivate the habit of using good English. This is accomplished in a large measure by Public Speak- ing which is a great aid to us in our English work. All four grades have Public Speaking, although the ninth grade is not taught directly by the Public Speaking teacher but by their English teachers. One hour each week is devoted to this work, which is taken from our English period. The four grades have different phases of work to do. The ninth and tenth grades have declamations in which both classes have done fine work. There were twelve Freshmen who tried out for places in the final contest with the Sophomores. The twelve were: Alice Freeman, Doi'othv Fried, Robert Powell, Cullen McDonald, Blanche Kynast, Elmer Lamb, John Orr, Elizabeth McMeekin, Waldon Pelter, Mar- garet Prottengeier, Charles Slade, and Edna Wonderlic. The four 1917 who were successful and were given places in the final contest were: Waldon Pelter, Cullen McDonald, John Orr and Robert Powell. The twenty Sophomores who tried out for the final contest were: Clara Fedko, Florence Krause, Lillian Moore, Estelle Free- man, Grace Fry, Maybelle Vogt, Marie Hayes, Edna McNally, Nel- son McNally, Sydney Goldmann, Stuart Kelly, Ray Youman, John Stutsman, George Steele, George Stone, Edgar Mueller, Ernest Riska, Harold Brown, Clayton Wilbur, and Fay Partlo. Of these, the four who were successful and competed with the Freshmen were: Harold Brown, George Steele, Lillian Moore, and John Stutsman. In the final contest each class was well represented by four of its ablest members. The contest was close but it was generally ac- knowledged that Waldon Pelter with Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech was first, although Cullen McDonald was a close second, who had the declamation “Sparticus.” Much enthusiasm and interest was aroused by the contest, especially as the both places were won by Freshmen. These people will be better pre- pared next year and it is certain there will be many contestants in the next contest. The Juniors have a different phase of work, devoting most of their time to three or five-minute speeches on some current topic. Near the end of the first semester they begin work on their orations, which is the real work of the year. This year many fine orations have been written, there being seven contestants in the oratorical contest. The seven were: Marion Pearson, Esther Woodruff, Merle Wickham, Stanley Kroll, Harold Olson, Roland Winston, and Lip- pert Ellis. Of these, Esther Woodruff won the right to represent our school in the State Oratorical Association contest. Her oration on “The Efficient Woman” was fine and we are glad she repre- sented our school. The Seniors have devoted all of their time to debates. Many questions have been debated, but up to April thirteenth most of our time was spent on the debate with outside schools. The question debated was: Resolved, That the Government should own and op- erate the railroads for interstate commerce. Those who were most - concerned in this debate were: Eugene Oppermann, Harold Brown, Julia Bristol, Edward Zimmerman, Elsie Wilbur, Gerald Marks, Waldon Belter, and Donna Orr. The affirmative team consisted of Eugene Oppermann, Harold Brown, and Donna Orr. The alter- native for this side was Elsie Wilbur. The negative team was rep- resented by Waldon Pelter, Gerald Marks, and Julia Bristol. The alternative for this side was Edward Zimmerman. The Lyceum and Thencean are to be congratulated on the success with which they have maintained their societies. It was really expected that they would gradually be forgotten. But this was not the case at all for we find them even better organized than before. Some very splendid programs have been given, which only adds to their interest in Public Speaking. From these instances we find that Public Speaking is doing a great deal for us. Although we were inclined to rebel at first we are only too glad to acknowledge we were wrong and we freely admit that Public Speaking has aided us greatly in our High School course. The efficient system under which Public Speaking is now working should not be abolished. We sincerely hope that the future students will enjoy their Public Speaking work as we have. DONNA ORR. DECLAMATION TEAM I In the early twilight of a gray October day, Miss Matilda Mat- thewson, the village dressmaker, sat busily sewing, trying to finish the garment she was making before the last vestige of daylight faded. At length, with a weary sigh, she rose and folded up the finished work. Just as she was wrapping up the parcel, prepara- tory to taking it out, the door opened (no one ever knocked at a neighbor’s door in Centerville) and Dr. Simon Pettengill walked in. “Hello, Matildy,” he said, cheerfully. “I just stopped in to tell ye a piece o’ news that I got today.” “Oh, is that you, Uncle Simon?” asked Miss Matilda. “Wait a minute, and I’ll light the gas.” She fumbled in the dusk a minute for the matches and then lit the little gas-jet that threw an ugly light over the small room and its meagre furniture. “Ye know, Matildy, ye ain’t been lookin’ well lately, and I got kinda bothered about ye ’cause I couldn’t find what was wrong,” the good doctor said, looking keenly at the thin face that flushed slightly. “I knowed ye’d say ‘No’ if I asked ye ’n so I didn’t tell ye, but I writ to a friend o’ mine, a famous doctor, and asked him if he’d take your case, ’cause he knows a lot about these here sort o’ nervous diseases that I don’t. O’ course, I suppose you’ll be won- dering how I happened to know him that well, but he—er—well, I did a little sunthin’ for him once, and he ain’t never forgot it. He told me once if I ever had a favor to ask he’d do it if he pos’bly could. I ain’t never had one till now, so I up ’n writ to him; ’cause your pa, if he was here, ’Id hate to have ye lookin’ like this. I s’pose ye’ll be gettin’ a letter from him soon; all ye’ll have to do will be to tell him how ye feel, ’n he’ll give ye sunthin’ to cure ye, sure.” “That’s good of you, Uncle,” said Miss Matilda, gratefully. “I can’t repay you in any way except with gratitude, but you’ll under- 1917 stand, and if I’m ever in a position where it’s possible, I’ll do any- thing I can for you.” “Now, Matildy, don’t you fret about that,” said the doctor, a little embarrassed by the thanks. “Your pa was so good to me, it don’t seem’s if I could ever pay it back. But, land, I’m forgettin’ to tell ye what the man’s name is. It’s Richard Avery.” “Oh, dear,” gasped Miss Matilda, a little dismayed. “I almost wish you hadn’t written to him. He’s so famous and rich, that he won’t want to bother with me.” “Sakes alive, that needn’t worry ye. He’s just the same as any- body else, even if he is famous. You just tell him what’s wrong, ’n forget he’s any different than I be. Now, I must be gettin’ along. I got to see old Mis’ Wicks yet.” “I’m sure I don’t know how to thank you but I’ll do my best when I write to Dr. Avery. When you pass Mrs. Jessop’s leave this parcel at the door, will you please? It’s a dress she wanted today and I promised her I’d get it to her.” “All right, Matildy. Don’t you forget what I’ve told you about writin’ to the Doctor. Good-by.” After the doctor had gone Matilda mechanically prepared supper, as she had done day in and day out for years. When it was ready, however, she found she was not hungry. She looked distastefully at the simple, lonely meal, and wondered if it would be like this in the dreary years to come. It suddenly seemed useless to strive so hard to keep body and soul together. When her kind- hearted improvident father had died, twenty years ago, he left her so little money that she had to stop school immediately. She had worked in one of the families of the village as a sort of nurse-girl and maid-of-all-work, until at twenty she had been able to buy a little cottage with some of her hard-earned savings and a little money borrowed from Dr. Pettengill, her father’s life-long friend. Her skill with the needle had soon brought her most of the village sewing, but in the years that followed, she could not remember that one person, except Dr. Pettengill, had ever entered her door, for any reason except business. Of course, at first, she had not minded it, because, after a long, busy day of sewing and an evening of study, in order to regain what she missed at school, she had been too tired to do anything except sleep, as soon as her head touched the pillow. With a start she pulled herself together. “Now, see here, Matilda Matthewson,” she said to herself sharply, “you stop com- plaining and put a little nourishment inside of you. You’re nothing but an old maid and you know it, and, what’s more, you ought to be thankful to be alive.” In a few days she received her first letter from Dr. Avery. It asked for a complete list of symptoms and she set herself to give as good a description of the case as she could. In the letters that followed, she marveled at his knowledge. Little details that she thot of no importance had apparently quite a significance to him. One day she was surprised to receive a letter, one paragraph of which was decidedly unprofessional. It ran thus: “I suppose you are well acquainted with Dr. Pettengill. He is one of the finest men I have ever known. His speech may not be of the best, but he has one of the kindest hearts and keenest intellects a man ever had. Don’t think that he gave your case to me because he couldn’t cope with it. On the contrary, I think he could have done better than I, if he had had the time to study a little on it. He does so much for the good of humanity at large, knowing that he will not be paid, in all probability, that he has to leave the more obscure cases (generally in the wealthy families) to the mercenary ones like me. Of course, I am excused from that turn this time, and I must tell you why. “Just after I graduated from college I met him and learned that he was an alumnus of the same college as I, and had graduated several years before. I was in rather a bad state then, because my people had been poor and so I had to put myself thru college. In consequence I had no capital and very little practice. He somehow got the idea that I would make good, if given a chance, so he lent me $500 and would take no note, and, what was much more, recommended me to everyone he knew in the city. Of course, I have since paid back the money but I am always glad to do any- thing I can for him because my start as a successful physician was principally due to him. Later I found out that, with that $500, he had intended to remodel his house, so that he could have his office arranged more conveniently. There are not many men who would give up their own comfort for what appeared to be a very uncertain proposition.” Miss Matilda was interested, and so, when she answered the letter she told Dr. Avery of the Dr. Pettengill that she knew. In this way, they started a two-fold correspondence, half of which was purely professional, and the other half was just such a cor- respondence as any two friends might carry on. She always re- ceived the doctor’s letters with interest for she had discovered that there did not seem to be a subject about which he did not know something and he had a breadth of view that stimulated and re- freshed her and did her quite as much good as the medicine often- times. She had not seen Dr. Pettengill for several weeks because he had been out of the city, but soon after his return he stopped in to see her. “Why, Matildy,” was his greeting. “How young you’re look- in,. The doctor’s medicine must be doin’ ye good.” “I guess it is, Uncle Simon,” she laughed. “I feel younger, “Well, I should say so! Why, it even seems as if somebuddy else ought to be wearin’ that dress instead o’ you, and I don’t be- lieve I’d a thought nothin’ of it, a while ago.” Matilda looked down at the faded gray calico, with a sudden feeling that he was right. After he had gone, she looked over her meagre supply of clothes. Yes, most of them were gray or black. “Well,” she said aloud to herself. “He told me I looked young and so I guess I’ll begin to be young.” True to her word she began replacing one by one, the dresses in her wardrobes with others of more style and a younger appear- ance, and all Centerville was soon commenting on it. One moiming, Mrs. Tuttell was talking across the fence to her neighbor, Mrs. Penny. “My land!” she said, “what do you s’pose has got into Matildy Matthewson? Have you noticed how she is changed lately? I sh’d think a woman of her years oughtn’t to take to dressing so young.” “Well, I don’t know but what she isn’t so old, after all. She’s too.” 1917 always looked and acted so much that way that it seems kind o’ queer to have her act any different. She’s changed in more ways than one, too. Old Mrs. Warded told me that her daughter’s new dress is the best thing Miss Matilda’s ever made.” The Centreville people were not the only ones whose curiosity was aroused in regard to Miss Matilda. Dr. Avery confessed to himself that he was very much interested in the letters which came to him signed “M. Matthewson.” They were very interesting, in- deed, those letters, but he could not imagine Miss Matthewson as being the kind of a woman who would write them, although he admitted to himself that he hoped very much that she was. The impression that he had received from Dr. Pettengill was that she was a retiring, rather stiff woman, prematurely aged. Besides, those letters betrayed a knowledge of books rather unusual in a town as small as Centerville. “By Jove!” he said suddenly to himself one day as he sat read- ing the last letter. “I believe I’ll go down there. I have to pass thru the town on my way to Yorkburg to that clinic, and I can just as well start a day earlier. I can tell her I wanted to see how she was getting along.” To think was to act with Dr. Avery, and so it was not long be- fore Miss Matilda received a telegram : “Arrive Centerville at 9 :45 tomorrow morning. R. H. Avery.” The message struck consternation to the heart of Miss Matilda. “Gracious! what can be the matter?” she thought. “Maybe I’m not doing well enough to suit him. I suppose staying up late the last few nights to get Miss Plumkey’s waist done in time wasn’t good for me; but he doesn’t know that, I’m sure. Maybe Uncle Simon knows something about it. I believe I’ll go over and ask him.” “No, I ain’t heard from him,” was the doctor’s answer when she asked him. “Don’t that beat all! Here he’s a cornin’ tomorrer and I won’t be able to see him. I got to go ten miles out in the country, in the morning, and prob’ly won’t get back till late to- morrer night. They ain’t no way out of it, either.” “What shall I do, then? He may be here all day, for all I know, so I suppose I must plan for it, anyway.” “Land, Matildy, it’s s’long since ye’ve had comp’ny, I don’t believe ye know how to act with ’em. You jist have somethin’ on hand you c’n have fer dinner if he’s goin’ to be here, ’n he’ll look after himself the rest o’ the time. I tell ye what to do: 01’ Mis’ Briggs sent me over a whole roast chicken yesterday. You take half of it fer tomorrer ’cause I’ll never be able to finish it up alone.” “All right, I’ll do that, and thank you, Uncle Simon,” said Miss Matilda. “Of course, it will be lunch, instead of dinner, but that won’t make any difference. I feel rather nervous but all I can do is to wait, I suppose.” Doctor Avery was as good as his word. About ten o’clock the next morning there was a knock at the door and Miss Matilda hurried to open it. For a moment neither spoke. The doctor thought he had steeled himself for any sort of apparition he might see, but he was nevertheless unprepared for this slender, refined- looking woman in a becoming morning dress of blue. Miss Matilda herself, a little embarrassed by the doctor’s evident surprise, could find no words with which to speak. “This must be Miss Matthewson,” said the doctor finally. “I am Doctor Avery.” “Oh, yes. How do you do, doctor? Won’t you come in?” said Miss Matilda, gaining a vague impression of extreme height and piercing black eyes. Later, during the course of the conversation, she had oppor- tunity to observe that the doctor, although a little taller than the average man, did not look unnatural, because of his broad shoulders and finely-set head. She also discovered that the eyes which seemed so piercing were very changeable in expression and gave an air of distinction to the rest of his face. It seemed but a little while before the doctor looked at his watch, exclaiming that he must do down to the hotel and brush up for lunch. “Indeed, you’ll not,” said Miss Matilda. “What would Center- ville think if I let you go to the hotel for lunch? We pride ourselves on our hospitality, although I’m quite sure I should invite you to lunch even if it were not the custom. If you’ll excuse me a minute or two, I’ll put it on the table.” That lunch had cost Miss Matilda a great deal of trouble, and not a little time and energy, but it was worth it. Over it, the doctor seemed to lose his somewhat professional exterior and he and Miss Matilda conversed like old friends. “Miss Matthewson,” said the doctor suddenly in the midst of the meal, “would you mind telling me your first name? Your let- ters were always signed ‘M. Matthewson,’ and it made me curious to know what the ‘M.’ stood for.” “Why, it’s Matilda,” Miss Matthewson laughed. “I always signed my name that way in school, because my teacher preferred it. After I left school, I-still continued to do so because I am not fond of the name Matilda.” “You aren’t? You must have held it up to the light all by itself. I think that ‘Matilda Matthewson’ is one of the prettiest names I know,” he answered, at which statement Miss Matilda flushed and dropped the subject. The short time between lunch and the doctor’s 3:20 train passed all too quickly. When he finally rose to go, he stated in such decided terms his regret at having to leave, that Miss Matil- da’s eyes shone and her heart skipped a beat or two. “Now, remember to write every week,” were his last words. “We mustn’t lose sight of the case entirely and I want to keep posted.” Miss Matilda did not obey that command very well. The next letters were at least two weeks apart and so stiff and formal that no one would know that they were written by the same person who wrote the others the doctor had received. Then they tried so hard to be natural that they were almost feverish and caused Doctor Avery a great deal of trouble. One afternoon, Miss Matilda was standing at the window, when the door suddenly burst open and closed with a slam. She turned quickly to confront Richard Avery. “Matilda, Matilda!” he cried, seizing both her hands. “WThat’s the matter? Why don’t you write to me as you ought to?” “Why, I did write to you. Weren’t the letters all right?” she asked, examining the toe of her shoe. You know they weren’t,” he insisted. “Those letters didn’t tell me one thing I wanted to know.” “They looked all right to me,” said Miss Matilda, the color slowly rising in her cheeks. “How—how should I know what you wanted to hear?” “Well, you know now,” he said, drawing her to him. “You know that I want to hear everything there is to tell, with some if it repeated.” HARRIET BRAY. REEN rocmcs CLASS t) 17 917 GERMANIA GREEN STOCKINGS The Senior Play given by the Class of ’17 at the Germania Hall on the night of June 1st. The Cast consisted of the following: Admiral Grice......................Maynard Childs William Faraday ...................Wayne Wenger Colonel Smith...................Eugene Oppermann Robert Tarver......................Harold Whitcom Henry Steel ......................Raphael McGregor James Raleigh .....................Albert Schirmer Martin, the butler ..............Theodore Timchac Celia Faraday.....................Lucille Ohland Madge, Mrs. Rockingham.............Marguerite Beck Evelyn, Lady Trenchard...............Margaret Judd Phyliss ................................Doris Pike Mrs. Faraday, Aunt Ida.....................Eleanor Milligan The plot of the play deals with the custom whereby an elder sister is compelled to wear green stockings at the wedding of a younger sister provided she herself happens not to be married or betrothed. 1917 After having worn the hated green stockings twice, Celia Faraday rebels when the time approaches for her to wear them a third time. She therefore invents a sweetheart who bears the name of Smith and she excuses his non-appearance by saying that imme- diately after she has become engaged he has been obliged to sail for the war in South Africa. The surprise of her sister forces her into details which have to be manufactured at short notice. She is even induced to write a letter to him, and althought she thinks she has destroyed it, it is mailed by her younger sister. In an endeavor to extricate herself from her predicament she later succeeds in having published in the London Times a notice that Colonel Smith “died October 11th.” The strange part of the story is that the name which she thought was purely fictitious is borne by an officer in Her Majesty’s service, who receives the letter and turns up under an assumed name shortly after the publication of the death notice. His interview with Celia results in a series of laughable situa- tions and in the end marries him in preference to Raleigh. MARGARET JUDD. Musical societies have existed in Saginaw High School about fifteen years. These consist of an Orchestra, Amphion, Glee and Mandolin Clubs, all of which have progressed very rapidly under the leadership of their efficient directors. In former years there were many more but through lack of material and interest they have been discontinued. The Orchestra is under Mrs. K. M. B. Wilson’s supervision and has been highly complimented by the public. The Amphion, a singing club composed of girls, is under the leadership of Mrs. Wilson. They have appeared a number of times in public and always have been enthusiastically received. The Glee Club, an organization for boys, is directed by Mr. Brydges. Wherever and whenever they appear appreciation is never lacking. This year, in April, these two Clubs with the aid of the Orches- tra presented “The Mikado,” a Japanese musical comedy, at the Palace Theatre. It had been presented some four or five years ago but this performance proved even a better success than the pre- vious one. The opera consists of two Acts, the first taking place in the courtyard of Ko-Ko’s official residence, while the second unravels the plot in Ko-Ko’s garden. When the play opens, Katisha, an elderly lady, is engaged to Nanki-Poo. He, the son of the Mikado, is in love with Yum-Yum who in turn is engaged to her guardian, Ko-Ko, the High Execu- tioner of Titipu. Nanki-Poo flees from the court in the guise of a minstrel to escape punishment for his reluctance to marry his per- sistent admirer. He wanders to the garden to inquire about his love, Yum-Yum, when he is informed by Pooh-Bah of her intended 1917 wedding to Ko-Ko. In desperation he is going to kill himself, when Ko-Ko, who has lately received word from the Mikado that unless someone is beheaded within a month he will be degraded, is in- duced to allow Nanki-Poo to marry Yum-Yum for a month, after which he will be subject to execution, which will preserve Ko-Ko’s dignity. Nanki-Poo, however, elopes with Yum-Yum. Katisha is married to Ko-Ko and complications are brought to an end. Foss Cooper as the Mikado and Fred Ostler as Nanki-Poo, his son, took their parts exceptionally well, while Ko-Ko, Lord High Executioner of Titipu, taken by Gerald Marks, was a source of con- stant enjoyment. Pooh-Bah, or Lord High of Everything Else, was fittingly taken by Raymond Youmans. The role of Pish-Tush was well taken by Clarence Haas. Alice Henny as Yum-Yum, one of the three sisters and ward of Ko-Ko, was well chosen for the part. Katisha, an elderly lady, was admirably portrayed by Zelma Hales. The roles of Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo were also well taken by Natilie Spencer and Mar- guerite Beck. The choruses consisted of the Amphion and Glee Clubs. Much credit is due to the earnest work of Mrs. K. M. B. Wil- son and Mr. Brydges, as directors, Miss Helen Oppermann, who attended to the dances throughout the play, and Miss Roberts, who helped with decorations and scenery. Never before have the efforts of the musical societies of our school been crowned with greater success than this year and it is earnestly hoped that even greater things may be attained in the future.

MORLEY BASKETBALL McGREGOR GRAHAM NORRIS MITCHEL EMERY STEWART KELLY Football S. H. S. 0 — Arthur Hill 0 In one of the best and most terrific games from the standpoint of the efforts put forth by both teams in the annual Turkey Day game, both teams emerged the victors and neither the losers. The sun rose on the morning of Thanksgiving Day only to go down shortly afterward amid a slow drizzle which lasted for a few moments and then stopped. The field was slow in spots and very hard in others. Capt. Brooks of Arthur Hill won the toss and decided to defend the west goal, as there was a strong wind blowing that way. During the first few minutes of the game neither side was able to gain and the ball changed hands twice on punts and downs. Then the Westsiders started to show some speed and put four plays through our tackle for the first downs of the game. They followed up with the same tactics until they placed the ball on our ten-yard line, with three downs to make the goal in. Here our boys braced and the ball went over on downs. Buetow imme- diately punted and got away his longest punt of the game. The half ended with the ball in midfield neither team being able to gain. During the half Arthur Hill had gained first down six times to Saginaw’s none and had clearly outplayed our boys in that period. It seemed as though Arthur Hill had gained a weak spot in that of tackle over which she made at least half of her gains. In the second half the playing was not less terrific and stren- uous. The two teams were after blood and from the way that the period started it seemed that the game would be Saginaw’s. Sagi- naw took the ball down the field to within twenty yards of the goal and Buetow dropped back to attempt a goal from field, but the pass from center was bad and “Brute” had to run the ball and in so doing he placed the ball about five yards ahead directly in front of the goal-posts and had dropped back to attempt another drop- kick, but due to the negligence of the head-linesman, who did not know what down it was, Saginaw was forced to give up the ball even though she had had but three downs. The real feature of-the game was when Arthur Hill got the ball on their own eight-yard line with four downs to make the goal, and at the completion of the four downs the ball went over to Saginaw on the sixteen-yard line. Then followed some see-sawing in the middle of the field and the ball was on the fifty-yard line in our possession when the game ended. Alumni 7 — S. H. S. 0 The football season opened with the usual Alumni game. The old boys looked much better than an Alumni team had ever looked before in this annual game. Saginaw was much overweighed and as they were largely of green material the Alumni team emerged from the fray the victors. Their scores were made on a touchdown and a goal from touchdown. A long forward pass from Meibeyer to York turned the trick and won the game for the old boys. Run- chey kicked goal. The playing of Rummell for the school-boys was the feature of the game as it was Red’s first game and he tore through the opposing line at will. Schmidt, the Kellys and Schmelzer starred for the losers while York, Howson and Runchey played stellar roles for the Alumni. S. H. S. 6 — Bay City Western 2 Bay City Western came down to Saginaw for the first Valley game with their heads high in the air but went home with them all streaked with mud. This was no dream either as the field was in such a muddy condition that it was almost impossible to play trick formations or to try forward passes. Saginaw’s line held like a stone wall and at no time was she in any danger from her down-river opponents. Saginaw made her touchdown after Buetow had gotten away with a long punt that had been misjudged by Werstens quarter and had rolled over the line. “Stewie” Kelly recovered it aided by the clever blocking of “Smaltz” Schmelzer. Saginaw gave Western their point in the third period when Buetow, standing behind his own goal line, touched the ball to the ground rather than take chances of having his punt be blocked. This was significant of the coaching that FOOTBALL TEAM Coach Miller has given the men and he has certainly taught them how to use the heads as well as the rest of the body. The stars of the game were S. Kelly, Schmelzer, and Buetow for Saginaw, and Pacynski and Method for Western. S. H. S. 3 — Jackson 0 It has been a rule that in the three years that S. H. S. has played Jackson High that the game was won by a goal from the field, and it was just the same this year, and if it had not been for “Brute” Buetow and his educated toe Saginaw would not have won. The field was very muddy and slow, making playing of any sort almost impossible. Saginaw was considerably outweighed by the Prison City boys and neither team could gain through the line, the work being almost all punting. Jack Miller played his first game for Saginaw in the back- field and showed up in an excellent manner. “Connie” Kelly was put in at quarter and from the way in which he ran the team, it is almost a sure thing that he will not be seen at end again this year. S. H. S. 28 — Port Huron 0 Port Huron presented about the best team that Saginaw had stacked up against so far despite the score. Saginaw excelled in teamwork in this game, which was partly due to “Connie” Kelly and to Coach Miller. Schmidt led in the scoring with four of the teams touchdowns, one of these being made by a pretty fifty-yard run right through the opposing line. Buetow kicked two goals and Clark of Pt. Huron was tackled behind his own line netting the two additional points and a total of 28. This game brought out the student body en masse and there was more pep and enthusiasm by them than has been shown in some time. The passing of Miller was the feature of the game. Scott and Palmer were the bright lights for the boys from the City of the Straits. Saginaw High 32 — Mt. Pleasant Normal 0 Although the Normals were very much larger than Saginaw, they were no opposition at all to our boys. The team looked very good on this occasion and, despite the lack of rooters, they per- formed in fine shape. The scoring was by Buetow. Schmidt, and C. Kelly. Buetow was the shining light of the game and was into every play both on offense and defense. He was also called upon to carry the ball a number of times and showed up well in this depart- ment also as he contributed a gain every time that he was called upon. S. H. S. 33 — Flint Central 0 Saginaw’s aerial attack proved too much for the Flintites and they were absolutely unable-to comprehend this form of skirmish. Jack Miller showed that he could peg a football as well as he could a baseball and his passes were responsible for many of Saginaw’s gains. Touchdowns were made as follows: Schmidt 2, C. Kelly 2, and Miller 1. One of C. Kelly’s touchdowns came after his brother had carried the ball over the line and fumbled it only to have Con- nie recover the ball. Blanchard of Flint proved for a certainty that he was the best quarter in the valley by his fine playing and generalship. Saginaw 46 — Bay City Eastern 3 This was a very ragged game and although Eastern was pie for our boys they played a very poor game at times. Jack Miller and his passing again featured the game. One of the passes resulted in a touchdown via Miller to McGregor and gave Mac his first chance to break into the scoring column. Schmidt, C. Kelly, Buetow, Mil- ler, and McGregor contributed the scores for S. H. S., while for Bay City, Moulthropp kicked a goal from the field. Rutzen starred for Bay City and was the only real player on the team. Saginaw 44 — Mt. Pleasant High 0 Mt. Pleasant High proved no harder than the Normals and we had no trouble in beating them, mostly through the efforts of Cap- tain Schmidt, who gave most of the scoring. All of the boys were in good form and played right up to the form that Coach Miller has taught them. With only two weeks off before the Arthur Hill game the boys will be at hard work and if they can show the form that the students know they have, we can hope for the best. CAPTAIN SCHMIDT.—Piggy was one of the best fullbacks in the state. He had the speed and weight and was a consistent ground-gainer. He specialized in a long run through the center of the line and got away with one of these in nearly every game. CONNIE KELLY.—Connie, although a veteran, was playing his first year in the back-field and ran the team in a good manner and looked perfectly at home in this position. He had a good head and was a consistent ground-gainer. MILLER.—For a new man Jack sure was the goods. He was no doubt the best passer that had been seen and many of the touch- downs that were made by Saginaw were made possible by the accu- rate passes of Miller. He was also a good man on defense and on offense he picked his holes like “Artie” Weadock. RUMMELL.—“Red” came in from Frankenmuth saying that he was through being kidded because Arthur Hill was beating us and that if he had anything to say about this year that the West- siders would have to step some fast. He made the team as half- back and he was the find of the season being a bear both on offense and defense. S. KELLY.—“Stewie” was playing his second season at end and this year he ranked up with the best men in the valley in that position. He was particularly accurate in defense and also in catching the offerings of Jack Miller in the form of forward passes and many of the games that Saginaw won were due to the Miller to Kelly route. McGREGOR.—Mac used his basketball knowledge to pei’fec- tion in getting hold of the ball whenever it came near him and with S. Kelly he formed a good team to take care of the catching end of the passes. He could not show up to his regular speed as he was hindered by a bad knee which usually was thrown out of place during each game and it was not an unusual thing to hear him shout during a game, “Pull my leg.” BUETOW.—“Brute” came into his own in 1917, and in fact was so good that he was considered fit material for the mythical All-State teams picked by different state coaches. He was a won- der on defense and was usually in every play while on offense he proved that he was just as well trained. He still has another year and he should show them next year that he has no equal in the Valley. JAEGER.—Jaeger proved himself to be a fit running mate for the “Brute.” He specialized in breaking up plays behind the op- posing line. If he was back next year he would sure show up some of these men in the Valley that are touted as stars. SCHMELZER.—“Smalz” was no doubt the best center that had been seen in school since the time of Passolt. Being naturally fast, he could pass the ball and get down under a long punt faster than the ends. He passed in excellent style except on one occasion, and he was usually a good consistent player and would be the last man on the team to lie down. TIMCHAC.—When Coach Lichtner of Grand Rapids Union put “Timmie” on his All-State selection, he also mentioned that he was the best guard in the state and we all agree with him and are sure that he is not very far off. “Nuff sed.” AUSTIN.—Dale was playing his first year on the team and as he is only a Freshman there ought to be nothing to stop him from making a star in another year. His long suit was defense. HUSS.—“Baron” proved himself to be of the real S. H. S. stuff, and he is certainly worthy to wear the school colors. He was the hardest worker on the team and we are looking forward to his ability next year and we certainly wish him good luck. SPENCE.—Coach Miller says that a team is no stronger than its subs and “Rev” was sure some substitute. He could play any position either in the back-field or on the line. KAUFMANN.—Had he not been hindered by a badly dislo- cated knee at the beginning of the season, Karl would have given some of the regulars a lively run for their money, however, he will be back next year and we wish him better luck. HARRIS.—Bud had all kinds of nerve and grit but was kept out of the game on account of his diminutive size. He was a good man to have on the squad as he could play any position back of the line. 11 1917 BASKETBALL TEAM Basketball Alumni 46 — S. H. S. 32 The season opened with the annual Alumni game or rather against the All-Saginaw team, which proved considerably too strong for our boys. McGregor, Norris and Graham played the whole game for S. H. S., and practically alone held the Alumni to a margin of 14 points. The team looked real well for the first time on the floor in a regular game and they were with a practically new line-up excepting Norris and McGregor of last year’s team and Graham who was a sub last season. Harold Mitchell looked good at guard and should prove to be a star before the end of the season. Spencer and Meibeyer starred for the Alumni. Bay City Western 15 — S. H. S. 13 Western as usual was helped along by the smallness of the floor at the Bay City “Y” and a game on their floor is as good as ten points to them. Saginaw’s team -work was poor and the game was very rough. Shaver of Western was taken out of the game in the second half for personal fouls and McGregor and Norris fol- lowed right affer him, thus breaking up the Saginaw team beyond repair. The playing of McGregor was the feature of the game as he netted half of Saginaw’s points via the foul route. Harry Gra- ham was also one of the stars of the game and he held down the score of the Cowboys in great shape. Saginaw 23 — Arthur Hill 22 The old gym never saw or held such a crowd before as it did at this game and there never was a more exciting game right up to the finish as this one was. Archie as usual was the main light and he scored nineteen of the teams points and he was ably assisted by every other member of the team. When time was called the score was a tie and it was decided to play five minutes overtime. During this period each team scored. McGregor got a basket from field and a foul while Brooks got one basket. 1917 Saginaw 27 — Flint 14 Playing only a mediocre game of basketball our boys were able to hang a defeat on to the weak Flint team which was nothing much to our credit for the score would have been about twice that amount. Blanchard of Flint was the real star of the game. Bay City Eastern 20 — S. H. S. 18 For the second time this season our team went to Bay City only to be beaten by a margin of two points. It was a closely contested game as first one team had the lead and then the other. Eastern had the margin at the end of the first half but Saginaw came back and evened matters up early in the second period. A foul and a lucky basket won the game for the Bay Cityites. Saginaw 33 — Alpena 18 In a game at Alpena our boys for the first time this year showed their real strength and playing ability when they brought home a scalp from strange territory. The boys from the city by Thunder Bay got only three field baskets during the entire game. Bisson of Alpena was the star for their team and McGregor, Graham and Mitchell played the stellar roles for S. H. S. CAPTAIN McGREGOR.—Archie was playing for his second season and he sure showed up in fine shape even though he was a veteran. His score individually always was large, but had it not been for a bad knee resulting from baseball, he would have been a whole team in himself. MANAGER GRAHAM.—Harry played every position on the team from center to guard and forward and got away with each of them in fine shape. He was a hard player and was in the game every minute. His specialty was in sticking close to a man. NORRIS.—Bill was another veteran and he played the best center since the days of Hugo Meibeyer and Ernie Elberts. He could be counted on for a goodly share of the points and he was a wonder at defence. 1917 MITCHELL.—Harold was a new man on the team and he filled the shoes of Roy Bricker to perfection. He was a strong guard and he stuck so close to his man that he had little chance to shoot for a basket. KAUFMANN.—Karl will be back next year to help our boys and if he performs in the style that he did this season he will help a whole lot. He was a sure, steady player and sure had the art of shooting baskets down to a “T.” KELLY.—Stewie showed that the athletic ability of the Kelly family was not exclusively inclined to football and baseball but also to basketball. Stewie was a sub at either guard or forward and could cover one position with the same sureness and ability as the other. EMERY.—Rex came here from Ypsilanti and he was a great help to the team, as he could play any position. He was hindered the most of the year by sickness which kept him out of more games. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Girls’ Athletics The basketball girls of 1917 had a remarkably successful sea- son, winning five out of six games. Their success was to a great extent due to the splendid coaching of Miss Ruth Smith, who de- veloped even a stronger and faster team than that of last year. One of the chief features in this year’s games was a wall play that was “put over” every time. Silent signals also played an important part. Midge Willis was the star basket thrower. Four of the team, Midge Willis, Eva Schmidt, Ruth Laible and Lillian Prottengeier, were regulars from last year. Willa Orr and Helen Kaiser will make a good beginning for next year’s school team together with the second team of this year. The one hope that is uppermost in the hearts of the whole team is that girls’ athletics will continue to develop in the Saginaw High school. Saginaw 9 — Owosso 6 The first of the girls’ basketball games, played with Owosso in the Manual Training gym., resulted in a victory for the home team. Both teams were evenly matched, but Midge’s foul-snooting ability enabled our girls to carry the day. For the visitors Harrison and Donigan starred while all members of the Saginaw team played an equally good game. Line-up: Saginaw Owosso Schmidt, E Willis, M Prottengeier, L. (c) . . . . C Orr, W Kaiser, H Laible, R Field Baskets—Willis 2, Schmidt, Cudney 2, Thompson Fouls—Willis 3 in 3. Saginaw 6 — St. Louis 8 On February 9 our girls’ team went down to St. Louis, Mich., to their first and only defeat of the season. At St. Louis they bucked up against a strong team and played on a large floor much inferior to their own for basketball purposes. The game was, as the St. Louis girls said, the fastest they had ever played and the end of the first half showed a score of 4 to 0 in favor of the opponents. In the second half Midge and Eva found the basket and rolled up three baskets for their team. Two successful foul throws won the day for St. Louis. Line-up: Saginaw St. Loui Willie M Prottengeier, L. (c)... . Orr W Burnham, M. Bacon, L. First half: Field Baskets—Tuger 1, Klein 1. Fouls—Tuger 0 in 1, Klein 0 in 1, Willis 0 in 1. Second half: Field Baskets—Klein 1, Schmidt 2, Willis 1. Fouls—Tuger 1 in 2, Klein 1 in 2. Saginaw 18—Midland 2 On March 10 the Saginaw girls met Midland girls on the home floor and walked all over them. Midge was the bright and shining star and the Midland girls found it impossible to get past H. Kaiser and R. Laible. The wall play continually kept their opponents guessing.

Second half: Field Baskets—Schmidt 1. Fouls—Hart 0 in 1, Day 0 in 1, Willis 1 in 1. Saginaw 59 — Y. W. C. A. 5 On the evening of March 25, our girls played with a picked team at the Y. and ran away with 54 more points. Ruth Chapman was forward with Midge Willis and both took turns at baskets. “Woodie” played guard for Ruth Laible and helped H. Kaiser hold down the Y. score. L. Prottengeier played center. It was the first one-line game our girls had ever played. Saginaw 17 — St. Louis 12 March 17 the Saginaw girls met the St. Louis girls on the home floor and paid them back for the former defeat by getting five more points. Midge and Eva vied with each other for baskets, each making four fields. Will Orr played a snappy game and the wall play was used to good advantage. Line-up: Saginaw St. Louis Willis, M F Schmidt, E F Prottengeier. 1.. (e) . . . C Orr, W Kaiser, H Laible, R First half: G Field Baskets—Tuger 3, Schmidt 3, Willis 2.

Saginaw 15 — Midland 11 The fastest and best game of the season was played March 23 at Midland, where the Saginaw girls scored 15 to 11 points. The score at the end of the first half was 7 to 7 and lasted through al- most half of the second half. Then Midge and Ruth Chapman put up four more baskets while the Midland forwards got only two. The whole team played faster and better than ever before. Ruth Chapman will probably be next year’s star forward.

Those who won their “S” this year are Midge Willis, Eva Schmidt, L. Prottengeier, Ruth Laible, Willa Orr and Helen Kaiser. BASEBALL TEAM Baseball LINE-UP. Haskins and Huss ......................C. Buetow and Waddell......................P. McGregor............................First. Hunter ............................Second. McCorkle ...........................Third. Kaufmann..............................S.S. Captain Graham ......................C. F. Reid.................................L. F. Weadock and Emery.................R. F. With only three men back — Captain Graham, Buetow and Huss — Coach Miller rounded up a team which had it not been hindered by ineligibility would have shown them all something. With such men as S. Kelly, C. Kelly and Kaufmann out of the game it was a hard task to build up a new team. However, with such men as Weadock, Reid, Haskins, the Waddells and Hunter, the team at last rounded into shape. S. H. S. 2 — Arthur Hill 3 The team on account of poor base running and inability to hold the ball lost for Buetow in his last game of this year. The pitching of Brooks and Buetow was the feature as each pitched air-tight ball. Arthur Hill—Brooks and Stickney, S. H. S.—Buetow and Haskin. Flint — S. H. S. Coach Miller took his team off the field at Flint because of the poor deal we were getting at the hands of Umpire Campbell. Sag- inaw, however, was playing very poorly at this time and the score stood 11 to 0 in Central’s favor. S. H. S. 9 — Bay City Western 2 Buetow’s offerings to the Cowboys were so as to make defeat sure for them. He only allowed them three hits and fanned thir- teen men. Our boys landed on Pacynski at will and made nine runs and eleven hits off the big Pole. S. H. S.—Buetow and Haskins. Western—Pacynski and Lisk. S. H. S. 10 — Pt. Huron 6 Saginaw had little trouble in putting down the “Tunnel City’’ boys, thanks to the good work of Buetow, who allowed four hits and fanned nineteen men. Saginaw got to French for ten hits and ten runs. S. H. S.—Buetow and Huss. Port Huron—French and Bonnett. 'ScjtfmzEft-;� -’ TRACK TEAM Track All through the early part of the season the turn-out for Track was very poor and not until a few days before the Valley Meet was there even ten men out. The team gave good account of itself all through the year, however, as they beat the Alumni tracksters and Schmidt placed first in the hammer at Lansing. VALLEY MEET Saginaw beat her enemies in the Valley Meet for the first time in quite a while. Saginaw captured firsts in the hammer, high jump, low and high hurdles, discus and pole vault.

Marriage should not only be a tie but also'a forget-me-not. The only thing more contradictory than a woman is the war news. Forgetting self and remembering others is the key to happiness. Why pay the price for gold when you can make brass shine brighter. Love which lives on duty usually starves.
