Our High School days are over and many of us are sad. We all realize the great responsibilities which we are now about to assume, for we are being graduated at one of the most critical periods in our nation’s history. Our country is at war. We are waging war against an autocratic government which is determined to use any means to accomplish its purpose of world domination. We will all be called upon to help win this war. Some in the Class will go forth and achieve success and fame, while others will hold less conspicuous but equally useful positions. Whatever or wher- ever our future position may be, let us always give the best we have! Let us be true, loyal and patriotic citizens of our country. The knowledge we have gained during our High School career is a distinct step in advance in the progress of our lives. For this we are greatly indebted to the Faculty, whose patient efforts will better be appreciated in our later years. We have formed many friendships and associations which we hope will endure for the period of our lives. The foundation upon which we are to build our future has been laid and it is after many sorrows and joys that we are about to close our High School career. Let us go forth cheerfully, and hopefully, determined to suc- ceed and to bear our banner as triumphantly in the future as the Class of 1918 has in the past. ALBERT PLAMBECK.

In this service — sobered both by the feeling of passing hours of happiness and the vast responsibility which the future holds forth — it is my honor to present the valedictory. I feel that I can not do adequate justice to my class because of our unusual situation. Our country is at war, our soldiers are now fighting in the fields of France, and we are in every sense a war class, and I can scarce hope to voice the great responsibility which we as a class realize and face with steadfast purpose. When we entered High School, four years ago, war had just been declared and Germany was still battering at the gates of Liege. Then our minds were aroused and our hearts inflamed by that march of events, yet this was only a foreign war and realiza- tion was somewhat dulled by our absence from the fight. As a class we saw the gradual extension of Germany’s policy of fright- fulness, and in our Junior year our nation, unable to longer stand idly by while non-combatants, neutrals, and civilization itself were trampled by the German war-machine, declared war. It was from that date that a full realization of war and its toll came to us. Four years ago we entered High School some three hundred fifty strong. Since that time, fifteen have answered their country’s call, and as we leave these halls we point out with a quiet pride that fifteen stars of this service flag represent those from our class. In this way not only have we contributed to the honor of our Alma Mater, but to our Nation as well, and in this very year two of our number have left and enlisted in our country’s service. Yet through our four years course here, although study and war work has been dominant, we have had our full share of pleas- ures. Many fine and helpful friendships and acquaintances have been formed here and especially helpful have been those with our teachers, and it is to them that we owe much of our present achieve- ment. And we may hope that many of these friendships may be it A.TJRO R A 9 1 a continued and that our remembrance will be cherished by them in the years to come, and that they may take at least a small per- centage of interest in our future life as they have throughout our High School course. As graduation grew nearer we lost the unity of the class. Some had enlisted in the service and over twenty-one have re- sponded to the Nation’s call through the War Working Reserve. We have come to this day with our attention fixed, not so much on class functions as on doing the best we can to aid in this time of need. We are the first class in the history of Saginaw High School to hold this service before a service flag. We are proud of this honor. We are proud of the stars which our class has given to the honor roll; and as we face the future it is with a solemn pledge, that what we have done is but a start to what we will do when duty shall call us; that we will be faithful to the trust, so that the Class of ’18 may always be both loyal and a credit to Saginaw High School. CLIFFORD FRIERS. 2� INTRODUCTION. No work of history, however authentic the author, has ever escaped censorship or error. However, making allowance for this well established fact and appreciating the fact that Saginaw High School affords an opportunity for higher education not excelled by any other public High School; it is with a sense of pride that we leave a record of the four laborious years spent in critical study and mental advancement by the Class of Nineteen Eighteen. CHAPTER I. Four years ago, we, the Class of Nineteen Eighteen, confident and with the determination of becoming a creditable class of the school which we represent, discovered our way about the halls of Saginaw High. In spite of fear, mingled with a sense of joy, we as beginners realized the goal ahead and struggled on, ever appre- ciating the helping hand of our instructors, who have aided us in becoming the Senior Class of Nineteen Eighteen. The first event of historical importance in our Freshman year was a class meeting held November 14, 1914, when we elected the following officers: President—George Klumpp. Vice-president—Winnifred Powell. Secretary—Karl Schmidt. Treasurer—Viola Mueller. At this meeting we chose maroon and gold as our class colors. We were now an organized class of three hundred and twenty-six members and felt our importance as a unit in the life of the school. The social event of our Freshman year took the form of an enter- tainment given by Miss Loveland’s Public Speaking Section. It was —.................. ' H-AJU R O RA 9 1 a not the regular “Frolic” of preceding years, yet we do not feel our class was slighted, as it was a most enjoyable affair, which afforded us the first opportunity of becoming acquainted with each other as class-mates, who were all equally anxious to perpetuate the reputation of having our class the Banner Class of Saginaw High. During our Freshman year, the custom of “All-School Parties” was inaugurated. They have proven a most gratifying success to the social life and welfare of the school. At the end of our first year in High School we followed the well-chosen custom of preced- ing classes in presenting two pictures to the Manual Training building. CHAPTER II. After a vacation of two months we again assembled at school, but this year we took our places in the old building with the feeling of confidence of old students. We felt well versed in the ways of school life and soon held a class meeting to elect officers to proceed with our work. President—Carl Kaufmann. Vice-president—Susie Hill. Secretary—Harold Waddell. Treasurer—Marian Pearson. We were now able to take the initiative in the social affairs of the school and appointed a committee to have charge of one of the “All-School Parties.” In the spring we gave the Annual Sopho- more Spread. It was a success in every sense of the word and a party to be remembered as one of the most enjoyable of all four years. This, our Sophomore year, was appreciated by every mem- ber of the class as the second stepping stone to the goal ahead. It was, as all of the four years in our High School life, marked with strenuous work and more determination on the part of each individual member to take advantage of the many opportunities afforded us by the school to fit ourselves for the great world of progress ahead. CHAPTER III. When the calendar was again turned around to September we were enrolled as Juniors, but this year found the class only half as large as when we entered as verdant Freshmen. In November we elected officers to guide us through th turbulent trials and activ- U RORA 1—il-L I ities of the third year of our High School life, also to assist us in the social pleasures in which we would be engaged. President—Philip Keeler. Vice-president—Willa Orr. Secretary—Cornelius Kelly. Treasurer—Flavian Watkins. In January preparations were made for the Annual Junior Hop. The Hop was given at the Masonic Temple, February 3, and proved one of the most successful “J” Hops ever given by a Junior Class of Saginaw High. The next social affair attempted by the class was the Junior Play but we were not able to give it until late in June. This delay was against its success but we were determined to show our ability in the face of all adversities and with the help of our coaches the Junior Play, entitled “All on Account of Polly,” proved a great success. The last party of the year was held at Riverside Park for the Juniors and Seniors. It was as successful an affair as the others earlier in the year and this closed our last year of prepara- tion before we gained the last step in the ladder. Our work was made easier by our social pleasures; and we left for a needed rest before we took up the burdens of the Senior year. CHAPTER IV. Two months flew rapidly by and we returned to finish our High School career. We were now the grave and dignified Seniors wre had so long aspired to be and, feeling the importance and serious- ness of the work of our last year, we held a class meeting to elect officers capable of helping finish the work we started three years ago. President—Albert Plambeck. Vice-president—Winifred Powell. Secretary—Edward Morley. Treasurer—Helen Webster. For the last three years a standard class-pin has been used but our class was dissatisfied with this and a new one was selected, which is to be used for the next four years. Because of the situa- tion of our country in this world-wide war, our social affairs will not be as elaborate as those of other classes. For the first time in the history of Saginaw High uniform dress for graduation will be it AURO R A 19 1 adopted by the girls of the class. We are now looking forward to the presentation of our play and the closing affairs of the Senior year. The Aurora will speak for us, showing the Class of Nine- teen Eighteen has earned the reputation of having excelled in work as well as play. CONCLUSION. One of our American humorists has said that it is better not to know so much than to know so many things that are not true. And now as we are ready to take up another phase of our life, we know that what we have learned is true and will be of use to us in our life work. We extend our thanks to our instructors and Mr. Warner, whose helping hand has ever been at our service in every phase of our school life. The inspiration we have received from our association with him will always prove a beneficial factor in our future lives. It has meant hard work to reach the goal we were striving for and, as we looked ahead four years ago, it seemed a long steep hill to climb; but now as we look back it seems all too short. In a few short weeks we will receive our diplomas and school life at Saginaw High will be over. The wish that prevails in our hearts is that our venture into the world of work will be made as pleasant and as much help given us as we have received at Saginaw High. NAONA MOWERS. ALBERT PLAMBECK KARL KAUFMANN PHILIP KEELER GEORGE KLUMPP Two bachelor maids of the Class of Eighteen, after having lived in Hawaii for a number of years, were waiting in Honolulu for the boat to take them back to the States and finding the wait- ing rather dull one of them suggested their going to the famous Swordika, seer of the future, in hopes of her being able to tell them the fates of their class-mates. After explaining their desire to the swarthy skinned Swordika, they were led to a table on which stood a large and shining gazing crystal. The old woman sat down and after peering intently into the crystal slowly began: A1 Huss, of the Home Guards old. Soon became a general bold, And now people from all over the land Come to view the German trophies captured under his command. Of the celebrated trio you’ve surely heard (That one in Crow Island, I mean), ■ — URO Ii 9 1 Tyyr M It’s composed of Alice Stacey, Steiner and Bendien, And the music they render Would positively make the Germans surrender.

Harold Olson is a dancing master of high degree, He teaches fair maidens the latest steps free. At the Old Ladies’ Home, established by Marian Pearson, Alma Clement’s latest books are read to the inmates by Bea Mason. In New York City, Hugh Harrington is a lawyer great; He earns so much money he’s obliged to send it home by freight. Howard Middlebrook is getting good pay Biting the grunt out of pig-iron, they say. Lucile Weinberg acts as cook in Gillam’s self-serve; The people who eat there sure have nerve. Vera Forbes was at one time a sewing teacher. But now she’s the wife of a Baptist preacher. John Gottchalk has a barber shop on Genesee street; For a dime he does a job complete. Harriet Zwerk, after graduating from every college in the land, Now runs a store where things may be bought and sold second-hand. Lila Chamberlain and Rose Dill in a munition factory work; But around there no spy was ever known to lurk. For the place is guarded by James McNamara, a detective bold, Who has caught many a crook, both young and old. Carlene Delong is raising poultry on a farm; Such a mild occupation could do no harm. On the same field of battle is Lizzette Bannon; Her main occupation is shooting the cannon. m AURO R A . T; ■ - fcsss:— e i If In desolate France, Virginia Clark is a Red Cross nurse.

William Norris, after returning from “Over There,” Is manufacturing tonic for the hair, And his two saleswomen, Powell and Orr, Reel off its accomplishments in manners that make one roar. Ellis’ and Heineman’s department store Is run very efficiently by Evangeline Doerr; To help her she has Margaret Guder, And you know nothing can elude her. Down at the noted Bedford Theatre Harold Arthur was seen reading the gas meter; But he didn’t hold the job long, As his readings were invariably wrong. Over in France is the brave Gen. Bushroe, With him lies the credit for slaying many a foe. G. Yvonne King has greatly declined. She seems to be looking for something she’ll never find. Upon touring the country in a Ford was C.

In trench or in hospital Where’er it may be, Whether here in our homeland Or afar over sea ; We are all of us ready, We come one and all, To fight for Democracy, To answer Thy call. To the boys of “Eighteen” Who will come at Thy call To Arms—may they ne’er Falter nor fall; But move steadily Hunward Not in fancy but deed!— With this prayer in our hearts We wish them, “God Speed!” There’s work to be done here For those “over there,” And we who are left This privilege must share. May we each and all prosper As time onward goes, Until this great war With victory has closed. ESTHER WODRUFF. VIRGINIA CLARK. Music by fc,inme Wtinbt'r1 UfiG U iDorothy ftice CLASS SONG ’IQ.

A__________ We, the Class of 1918, of the Saginaw High School, of the City of Saginaw, in the County of Saginaw, and State of Michigan, being of full age and sound mind and memory, do make and de- clare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in manner following, to wit: Article One, Section One—We direct that all our just debts and the expenses of our last illness and funeral charges be paid. Article Two, Section One—To our beloved Faculty, who have guided us through four long, perilous years of study, we extend our profound thanks for their untiring efforts in our behalf. Article Two, Section Two—To the said Faculty we leave the pleasant memories of those delightful periods spent with so many of our number at the close of each day. We trust that they will cherish these memories above all other treasures. Article Three, Section One—To all classes succeeding us we bequeath the pleasure of indulging in those annual brain-sharpen- ing contests, commonly known as Semester Exams, of which we were this year, to our infinite sorrow', unjustly deprived. Article Four, Section One—To the Class of Nineteen Nineteen we bequeath our Chapel Seats, the attainment of which, we be- lieve has been the highest ambition of all classes entering our School city. We hope that they will fully appreciate the magni- tude of this great honor bestowed upon them, and will prove them- selves worthy of it. Article Four, Section Two—To the aforementioned Junior Class, we will and bequeath the Class Horn, gaudily bedecked with the colors of all classes that have trodden the path we now' take, and to which, before our surcease, the Maroon and Gold of Nine- teen Eighteen will be added. Article Four, Section Three—To the Junior Class w'e leave our one-time fellow class-mates, who have, in the dim, remote past, cherished hopes of graduation with the Class of Eighteen, but ------ URO n -A. 1 Q 1 through the supplications of the aforementioned Faculty, have been induced to delay said graduation. Article Four, Section Four—To the Class of Nineteen we be- queath also the respect and honor due a Senior Class, with the noble responsibility of publishing the next Aurora.

Article Six, Section One—To the youngsters of Twenty-one, the future Sophomore Class, we extend the privilege of attending Chapel with other classes, and the great responsibility of teaching next year’s Freshman Class the manners befitting a class of this famous school. Article Six, Section Two—We bequeath to the said Class the partial use of the Upper Hall of the Old Building, on condition that they do not incorporate into their new quarters the vile practice of putting all personal belongings under the protection of lock and key, as has been their custom in the past. Article Seven, Section One—We do hereby nominate and ap- point our Principal, to whom we extend our heartiest wishes for a bright and successful future, as Executor of this our Last Will and Testament. Finally—We hereby revoke and declare void all other Wills by us heretofore made. In Witness Whereof, We have hereunto set our hand and seal this eighth day of April, A. D. 1918. CLASS OF 1918. On this eighth day of April, A. D. 1918, the abovementioned testator, the Class of 1918, subscribed the foregoing instrument in the presence of us and each of us and at the same time declared the same to be their Last Will and Testament, and we, at their re- quest and in their presence and in the presence of each other, have signed our names hereto as attesting witnesses. We further cer- tify that, at the time of subscribing, the said testator was of sound and disposing mind and memory. ROBERT SMITH, residing at Saginaw, Mich. HAROLD OLSEN, residing at Saginaw, Mich. After vainly endeavoring to persuade our faculty advisers that we were old enough to indulge in a party, we as Freshmen were entertained in a far different way from the preceding classes. The most delightful and enjoyable event of the year was a party given by Miss Loveland’s Public Speaking Section, in which all the other Freshmen Sections participated. The first number of the party was the play “The Wrong Baby,” the parts being taken very suc- cessfully by members of the section. Afterward the class song was sung to the tune of “Tipperary,” which ended in a grand march led by Miss Loveland and Mr. Lichtner. Various games were then played and refreshments served, the whole program closing with dancing. As Sophomore, we enjoyed our first real party, the Sophomore Spread. This Spread which is a means of “getting together’ that cannot be equalled in any other function given during the class’ high school career was given on March 3rd, in the gym. The class colors, maroon and gold, were used for decorating. From the cen- ter of the gym ceiling hung a bird-cage, which showered bon-bons during one of the dances. Streamers of maroon and gold inter- twined with colored lights formed a gorgeous canopy over the heads of the dancers. At one end of the gym hung a huge pennant and at the other a shield with the class numerals, each carrying out the color scheme. After the reception everyone took part in the grand march led by the president and the vice-president of the class. The same color scheme prevailed in the dining-room where supper was served in relays. This was the only social event of our Sophomore year. 1 .A. U R ORA 9 1 Ul The first social event during our Junior year, the annual Junior Hop, was given Saturday evening, February 3rd, at the Masonic Temple. The delightful affair proved to be one of the most suc- cessful “J” Hops ever given by a Junior class of Saginaw High School. About one hundred couples enjoyed the dancing from 8 to 12 o’clock, while a large number of parents and friends viewed the scene as spectators. The class pin, arranged in maroon and gold electric lights, and the class banner, in silk of the same colors, hung at the two ends of the hall. Gold and black bunting was festooned around the balcony with evergreen and the lights were fringed with yellow. The stage was artistically banked with palms, set off with black and gold “S. H. S.” banners. Music was furnished by a four-piece orchestra directed by Dan Russo, the orchestra being seated on the stage and partly hidden from the view of the dancers by the bank of palms. During intermission re- freshments were served. Date in the Spring the Junior and Senior party took place at Riverside Park. The custom of preceding years was not followed by having the Juniors entertain the Seniors, but this year both classes gave the party together. The Junior Play, “All on Account of Polly,” was not given until late in June. It was given at the Masonic Temple and proved to be as successful as the other affairs attempted by our class. Thus ended the social career of our Junior year. Upon entering the Senior Class we were for a time so occu- pied with our new duties that parties were little thought of until near the end of the year. On Friday, May 10, 1918, a very success- ful Senior Party was held in the High School gymnasium. The decorations were featured with American flags. Music for the dancing was furnished by a three-piece orchestra. We were fav- ored during the afternoon and evening with several pleasing spec- ialties. A Hoover lunch was served from five to six in self-serve style, and dancing was enjoyed until ten o’clock. The Senior Play, “The Call of the Colors,” was given May 31, 1918, at the Germania Hall. Eeing a patriotic play it was espec- ially fitting and proper. As we look back on the social life of our High School career, we, as a class, feel that it has been most enjoyable and one to be remembered. VIOLA MUELLER. “The Call of the Colors.” The present world war furnished a thrilling and interesting plot for the Senior Play, “The Call of the Colors,” given at the Ger- mania Hall, May 31, 1918. The curtain rises revealing a Red Cross Gauze Room, where the young workers are discussing the hero of the hour, Sergeant Hilton, who has been wounded while in action and who carries a small black book which causes much speculation. In contrast to the Sergeant, Harrison Ray, not yet enlisted and with no apparent desire to do so. is being criticized. A young lady puts in her ap- pearance, introducing herself as Miss Smith, and before the curtain falls Miriam Thorpe announces her intention of going to France as a Red Cross nurse. The next scene is laid in France, the action taking place in the chateau where Cecile Deering, Miriam, and Miss Smith are acting as nurses. Sergeant Hilton arrives, followed by a German regi- ment. Cecile Deering, owner of the chateau, has been brought into close association with the war authorities and has access to the ammunition reserve, the hiding place being known to few. Miriam, believing Sergeant Hilton to be in the employment of the U. S. tells him of the reserve and he leaves to impart his news to the enemy. In his haste he drops his little book which Miss Smith finds, and, on reading a few pages, sends Vilette on a mysterious mission. When the Sergeant returns in search of his book he is revealed as a spy. Harrison Ray enters and Miss Smith explains that Harrison is her brother and both are engaged in Secret Service work. Harrison and Miriam then agree to “live happily ever after.’ The Seniors proved excellent as amateur actors and the coaches, Miss Ruth Wheelock and Harold Dana Hopkins, deserve much credit. M'au r o n a 9 1 H Those taking part in the play were: Virginia Clark—Miriam Thorpe, who goes to France. Donald Culver—Harrison Ray, who wears civilian clothes. Merna Smith—Mrs. Hilary, head of the Gauze Room. Helen Webster—Lee Somers, worker in the Gauze Room. Marion Pearson—Laura Jones, worker in the Gauze Room. Helen Spencer—Lois Moore, worker in the Gauze Room. Gay Powell—Sallie Palmer, in charge of the Desk. Alma Clement—Miss Smith, who is something of a mystery. Dorothy Rice—a visitor, who does not approve. Ruth Grimes—Cecile Deering, whose chateau is a hospital. Willa Orr—Vilette, a French peasant girl. Albert Yaeger—Sergeant Hilton, of the Royal Rifles. Walter Holst—Billie, not yet enlisted. Harold Olson—Rudolph, Sergeant Hiltons “Watch Dog.” “All on Account of Polly,” given June 16th, 1917, proved to be one of the most successful affairs, both financially and socially, of the Class of ’18. The proceeds were given to the Senior Red Cross. The story of the play was centered around the difficulties which a small town girl, Polly Perkins, who had inherited a great amount of wealth, encounters when she enters the home life of the selfish, snobbish Beverly family. The manner in which her pres- ence changes them into real human beings was both amusing and pathetic. Of course, Polly wins a husband in young Baldwin Beverly. | altr iflauuuujn . { gBnni'i.. MgMMTrr i; cn'.r Maryette Courtrae was the cleverest worker on the entire secret service staff of the United States. That was the assertion her chief had made and no one seemed inclined to question the statement, much less dispute it. Therefore, when the information was received that there was evidence of a spy in the American lines, she was immediately called, for those on the inside knew that al- though there might be a spy among Americans, circumstances in- dicated that he was on the opposite side of the water from the men in the trenches. Chief Burton said to her, “We realize this seems to be a most impossible task considering the meagre information we have ob- tained, but somewhere in this country there is a spy, probably causing serious disaster to our forces in France. WTe are taking a thousand to one chance that the ‘master mind’ is right here in little old New York and we are depending upon you to get him. Every assistance which it lies within our power to offer will be given you and every member of the service will be ready to aid, but you are completely in charge.” Maryette was nearly overwhelmed to think that she should be assigned to such a responsible and important task, but she pos- sessed a determination which conquered worlds and the power to accomplish wonders, miracles, it sometimes seemed. She spent the afternoon after receiving her assignment in con- sidering the matter carefully and in determining upon a plan of action. The information obtained gave no clues and it seemed like “hunting for a needle in a haystack.” There really appeared to be no beginning. She realized that it was to be a matching of wits and she had the disadvantage of not even knowing who, out of millions of people, her opponent was to be nor where to find him. She must begin to work in the dark. She took a rapid mental in- ventory of all her resources. First and most important, she had her own good brain and knew how to use it; she possessed the greatest cooperation of the entire force; and. finally, her reputation as a short story writer, by which vocation she was known even to — mjiu -.....- 1 AURORA ir her most intimate friends, served to avert suspicion, and when she found herself in some trying predicament the explanation that she was collecting material for a new story usually sufficed. This was the sum total of all her equipment to date and for the time being at least, she would have to trust the rest to luck. Luck, therefore appeared to be the predominant factor upon which her entire suc- cess depended, but Maryette believed in clovers. Since there appeared to be no beginning, one must be made and so she determined to take the initial step by dining that even- ing at the Fleur-de-lis, a chazuning restaurant, where one often saw those better educated, sometimes, wealthy foreigners. Maryette had an intuition that there a clue would be found and she was always wise to obey the promptings of that undefinable, whose whisperings seldom proved false. She called up Jimmy Clayton, who had been begging.to take her to dine for the past month and whom she knew would readily welcome an opportunity to do so, and suggested their going to the Fleur-de-lis that evening for dinner. This he declared was the most sensible thing she had done in a long time and he certainly would be “Johnny on the spot.” Jimmy was a newspaper correspondent and he and Maryette had been the best of friends for years. In fact, Jimmy proposed to her semi-annually ever since he had first imagined he loved her, until it had become more of a habit than anything else and they just continued to be good comrades. Their table was situated at one side of the cafe and the one to the left of it was occupied by a lady and two gentlemen. Mary- ette glanced in that direction as she and Jimmy entered. The face upon which her eyes rested was none other than that of her hero man, he who had rescued her one horrible night more than a year ago. They had driven madly for miles and miles before they suc- ceeded in eluding her pursuers and in the excitement she had not even learned her benefactor’s name. Maryette had never seen him since until now and but for that voice she would not have remem- bered. As their eyes met, she read recognition in his and with a little smile she passed. When they were seated, Maryette chanced another glance at his companions. Their appearance surprised her. They were evidently Americanized foreigners, not at all the type of people she had associated him with in her mind. There was something about the face of the man which impressed Maryette so vividly m AU R O Ii 9 1 that it seemed stamped in her memory forever. He was an intelli- gent looking person of perhaps fifty. His eyes, which were black and piercing, seemed to penetrate to the very heart of things. This quality was accented by his hair which time had already silvered. He possessed a firm mouth, a determined chin and the command- ing air of one who is used to being obeyed even in the slightest de- tail. The odd-looking ring which he wore also attracted her at- tention. It was the most singular piece of jewelry she had ever seen and was cleverly wrought so that a huge beetle with jeweled eyes and mouth formed the design. No matter from what angle you saw it, it seemed to be staring directly at you. The woman was even more striking in appearance than the man. She was stunningly gowned in a scarlet costume which har- monized wonderfully with her dark eyes and hair and lent a touch of color to her cheeks. Her beauty rather startled and rather piqued Maryette for she did not quite like to associate this woman with her hero, though why should she care who this handsome stranger’s friends were, she who did not even know his name? They had risen from their table now and Mai'yette conversed busily with Jimmy. She told herself she hoped never to see this hero person again. She chatted about everything imaginable, she laughed, she chided. Never had Maryette been more gay, thought poor, stupid Jimmy, but little did he guess the cost of her gaiety, and if he had, being a man, he would not have understood. Maryette was beginning to be very much provoked to think she had obeyed the whisperings of her inner self in coming here tonight. They were ready to leave and nothing had happened which would in any way aid her in the greatest task she had ever undertaken. When they arose from the table, she found she had dropped her glove. Much annoyed, she stooped to pick it up and discovered a small, white, opaque, bead-like object which she slipped into her bag and did not examine until she reached her apartment. After she had bidden Jimmy “goodnight” and reached her apartment, she took forth from her bag the find. It was nearly as large as a good sized pearl and looked like a very poor imitation of one. It seemed strange that she should find such a cheap trinket in a place like the Fleur-de-lis. Where could it have come from? It dawned upon her suddenly. When the woman in scarlet left the cafe, Maryette remembered having felt something against her m AU RORA O 1 If dress. Undoubtedly she would not have noticed it but for a feeling of nausea which had swept over her at the touch of what she sup- posed to be the woman’s gown. This bead had evidently caught in a bit of drapery and, when she had passed Maryette, it had slipped down the latter’s dress and dropped into the glove lying on the floor. Maryette was about to toss it into the fireplace when she hastily arose and, going to the window, lowered the shade only to raise it again. At eight o’clock the next evening Maryette started forth upon a big adventure but before going she slipped a tiny ammonia gun into her pocket. Thus armed she proceeded to the street, called a taxi standing near, gave the chauffeur some hurried directions and drove off. The house in front of which they stopped was a most formid- able gray sandstone structure, which reminded Maryette of a huge prison, and she shivered a bit as she ran up the steps. She mumbled something to the butler who answered the door and he immediately led her into the library which contained a huge mahogany table around which were placed twelve chairs. She did not stop to investigate further but, making sure she was all alone, crossed the room and hurriedly ran her hands up and down each end of the bookcase standing against the wall opposite the door. She repeated this procees twice before finding that which she de- sired, but finally a most surprising thing occurred, the bookcase began to swing outward disclosing a long, narrow, dark passage which she entered, closing the door after her. She found her way along its many crooks and turns by means of a small pocket flash- light and at last came to a small room the sight of which positively made her gasp. She had unknowingly stumbled upon the solution of the manner in which important military information was being obtained and transferred by the enemy, for here before her was the most completely equipped wireless station that ever existed. It was very easly understood now. It merely meant that govern- ment messages were being picked up and transferred in code to the enemy; also, that she was probably in the headquarters of the greatest spy organization in the country. Upon entering the room, she was confronted by a pale, anaemic looking youth who immediately left when she mumbled the words which had had such a magical effect upon the butler, and she had no use for the gun nestling in her pocket. Left alone, she pro- USI JZ O Ii A w mm I ceeded to explore her surroundings. Nothing was lacking. She tested the dictagraph and found it was connected with the library as she had suspected. This ingenious arrangement enabled the operator to take down the information brought in by the different members without being seen. Probably the Master Mind consid- ered it more safe to keep his aids in ignorance of the inner work- ings of the system. She heard voices now and knew the meeting would soon begin. The time to act was close at hand. She listened attentively to the conversation in the library, taking notes now and then. Of a sudden, she paused and fairly stopped breathing. Could it be possible? Though she could not recognize the voice, there was something about the manner of which convinced her it was he. Why was not he, whom she had once been delighted to think of as infallible, gracing one of Uncle Sam’s uniforms instead of plotting against this beloved country? Oh, it was horrible, for Maryette was young and what is more cruel in life than the shat- tering of youth’s dreams? She had not long to ponder, however, for upon glancing at her watch she discovered it was time to make her appearance in the library. Maryette hurried down the passage, pressed the panel which swung the door back and stepped into the room where she saw everything in a glance. Seated around the table were twelve men and at the head the imposing gentleman whom Maryette had seen in the restaurant the preceding night, while at the foot was he whom she had been hoping against hope would not be there. The entrance of Maryette had been a signal and from every doorway, window and curtain appeared a detective. It was all so sudden and unexpected that each got his man before he could so much as rise. All were covered, all but Maryette’s one time hero man and he had now risen at a word from Chief Burton and they were coming toward her, but suddenly the stranger darted across the room to his companion of the restaurant and snatched from his hands the ring which had so attracted Maryette. Too late! The owner had succeeded in opening the back of the beetle which formed a sort of locket, extracting a pellet from within and swal- lowing it before he was discovered. By the time the stranger reached him, he was nothing more than a crumpled heap. Turning to Maryette and the Chief who had followed him, the stranger said, “The Master Mind is no more,” and then to Maryette, U R O IZ A 9 1 8 ! I “The country will probably never realize how much it owes you but you have succeeded in causing the capture of the men who are the veritable brains of the German spy system in the United States. “This is David Hale, Miss Courtrae,” said Chief Burton, “a member of our secret service. His invaluable assistance only made possible this raid tonight. When we received your message, we sent a man to try and discover a means of getting our men into this house unobserved. He met Mr. Hale from whom we had received no word in months but who we knew was out for big game. His close connection with the spies prevented our hearing from him and he was awaiting the time when without detection he might bring about what has happened tonight, thanks to you. Because of Hale we wei'e able to establish our men here, but now, Miss Cour- trae, we are both very anxious to know how you obtained your clues, for,” he added with a twinkle in his eye, “Hale insists that only the cleverest woman in the world could have done it.” Maryette’s heart was thumping so she was certain it could be heard all over the room and she blushed the most becoming blush her hero man thought he had ever seen. She related how she had gone to the restaurant in hope of picking up some clue and found the imitation pearl, omitting, of course, her personal opinions and feelings. She had been about to toss it to one side when it crushed in her hand and instead of being hollow it contained the thinnest tissue paper. Examination disclosed the fact that it contained a code message which she had been able to decipher almost at once. The spies, for spies she was certain they were by this time, had de- pended upon the ingenious method of concealment rather than a difficult code for it was one known to all detectives. It contained the address of the place they were now in, and the full directions which she had followed so minutely. The message was evidently intended for the woman in red, but the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. The rest they knew. She declared that it was all very simple and just pure luck, but David Hale did not seem to think so. In conclusion, it is needless to say that Maryette Courtrae and David Hale did not remain strangers long. ALMA M. CLEMENT. English has always been one of the most important subjects for study. It is more important now than ever before, owing to the prominence of the English-speaking race in every walk of life. Today, this race is fighting to preserve the principles of Democracy for all nations and for all time. When at last the “World is made safe for Democracy,” the characteristics, ideals, and language of this race will exert a great influence in the work of reconstruction. However, the greatness of America’s international influence depends largely upon the strength of her own national life. Our country has been a veritable melting pot for all who have desired absolute freedom in action and thought. Upon coming to this country, aliens should no longer retain their own customs and lan- guage but should adopt ours. As a first and an important step to true American citizenship, they must learn our language. This is essential. In any line of business, we should be able to express ourselves clearly and concisely in order to be successful. Furthermore, to be model citizens and to vote intelligently, we must be able to read the current news, to write reasonably well and to appreciate good literature. With this fact in mind, we realize how important it is that the study of English should be stressed more than any other subject ..................—4TiJI- -............. A. U RORA. 9 1 H in the schools of America. Consequently, English is required throughout the four years of high school. When we entered high school as Freshmen, we read such masterpieces as Scott’s “Ivanhoe,” George Eliot’s “Silas Marner,” and Stevenson’s “Treasure Island.” Lessons were also given in composition for practice in argumentation, exposition, and descrip- tion. The following year, we turned from prose to poetry. This work included “The Lady of the Lake” and “Julius Caesar.” This was followed by the fanciful play, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” After studying the various kinds of verse and poetry, we had the opportunity to compose a few lines ourselves, some of which were very sucessful. The first eight weeks of our Junior year was taken up with a review of English grammar. We then read “King Henry V,” fol- lowed by a more serious line of thought in the orations of such American statesmen as Washington, Webster, and Lincoln. Again we were given an opportunity for composition, writing orations upon subjects of vital importance today. Our Senior year was somewhat different in nature. We started with the history of English literature, beginning with the early Anglo-Saxon poem, “Beowulf.” In connection with the life of Chaucer we took up his most important work, “The Canterbury Tales.” In order to fully apreciate this, we studied Middle English, a form of our language entirely new to us. Tracing the rise of the drama from the Middle Ages, we came to the life of Shakespeare, which we studied in connection with two of his works, “Hamlet” and “Macbeth.” The writers and works of the seventeenth, eigh- teenth and nineteenth centuries were outlined and selections from the most important writers were read, and discussed. Following this, business letters of salesmanship and application were written. We then stepped from the prescribed course to study President Wilson’s “War Message” delivered before Congress on April 2, 1917, and also his “War Aims” given December 4, 1917, that we might learn America’s true purpose in entering the world war and gain a better understanding of the principles of Democracy. MARIAN PEARSON. The Ancient Mexicans. One of the most interesting parts of the history of the new world is the history of the Indians. The life of the North Amer- ican Indians has been very attractively told in the works of Feni- more Cooper and Longfellow. The early Mexican Indians are still more interesting on account of their superior civilization. Of the Mexican tribes the Aztecs are the best known. In comparison with the other tribes they were well educated. At the age of five children were sent to school. If a child was to be taught at home, his father began by teaching him the worship of the gods and the prayers he had to repeat when he specially desired their aid; he also frequently took him to the temple to arouse in him a fondness for religion. At an early age the boys were taught the use of arms and the girls to spin and weave. The morals which parents taught their children were not inferior to the morals of today. Truth was a virtue specially recommended by parents to their children. They were taught obedience, kindness, modesty, and respect for their elders. An example of the advanced stage of civilization of the Aztecs is their calendar. Their year, like our own, had 365 days, but the Aztec months, of which there were eighteen, composed of only twenty days, left an excess of five days. These days were added to the last month of the year and were devoted to festivities. The twenty days have names such as “the fish,” “the wind,” “the tiger,” “the flower,” etc. The Aztecs devoted special attention to agriculture. They tilled the soil wherever they sojourned and lived upon the crops. Conquered by the Colhuas and the Tepanecs and shut up in the islands of their lake, they neglected agriculture for many years until forced by necessity, they invented the floating islands. The method of making these islands was very simple. With the aid of ........-...-.... ..-i-slfllFr - ■ URO Ii A S3 i e branches, roots, aquatic plants and other light materials, they made a network sufficiently solid, and then on this base they spread sea- weed which they covered with the wet earth from the lake. These little islands were generally about forty-eight feet long and eigh- teen feet broad, and were about a foot above the surface of the lake. These floating islands enabled the Indians to move from one place to another, taking their fields with them. Another interesting thing about the Aztecs is their religion. They worshipped many gods such as the “god of flowers,” the “god of the sun,” and the “god of death.” Large temples were built wherein these gods were worshipped. The Aztecs believed in the immortality of the soul. Soldiers who were killed in battle went straight to the house of the sun where they led a life of endless de- light. After the souls had lived here for four years they took the form of birds and flowers and came down to the earth, but they always had the liberty to rise again to heaven. Their highest god was the invisible god to whom they offered the first fruits of their fields and gardens. The god next in rank was “Shining Mirror,” master of heaven and earth. There was at least one feast every month at which human beings were sacrificed to the gods. These were usually captives or criminals. Captives, who were celebrated for their valor, were allowed a trial by a gladiatorial combat. These combats took place in the open places near the temples. In the middle of the open space was a platform about eight feet high. The prisoner was given a sword and shield and was then tied to the platform by one foot. A sol- dier then mounted the platform to fight with him. If the prisoner was overcome, he was carried to the sacrificial stone where his heart was torn out and offered to the gods. If, on the contrary, the prisoner was victorious over six soldiers he was given his freedom. I would like to speak about other features worthy of our con- sideration, as, for instance, their well arranged houses, their splen- did garments, their skill in works of art, particularly in gold, their language which was sufficiently developed for the expression of even poetical thoughts, and their ideographic writing, but the nec- essary space is lacking. What I have spoken of in these few lines does not leave any doubt that the history of the Aztecs should be highly attractive to the historian and to all classes of readers. MARGARET G. GUDER. U RORA e i Los Primeros Habitantes De Mejico. Una de las mas interesantes partes de la historia dei nuevo mundo es la historia de los primeros habitantes, los Indios. La vida de los Indios de la America del Norte ha sido representada muy atractivamente en las obras de Fenimore Cooper y de Long- fellow. Los primitivos Indios de Mejico son aun mas interesantes por cuenta de su civilizacion superior. Probablemente los mas interesantes de los Indios son los Az- tecas. En comparacion con los otros tribus de los Indios ellos eran bien educados. A la edad de cinco anos los ninos eran enviados a la escuela. Si un nino era ensenado en casa, su padre comenzaba por instruirle en el culto de los dioses, y las oraciones que tenia que repetir cuando deseaba su avuda especial de ellos; tambien le conducia a menudo a los templos para excitar en el una pasion por la religion. Cuando jovenes los muchachos eran instruidos en la practica de las armas, y las muchachas aprendian a hilar y tejer. Los principios de la moral que los padres comunicaban a sus hijos no eran inferiores a los principios de la moral del dia presente. La verdad era una virtud especialmente recomendada a sus hijos por los padres. Se daba mucha importanda a la obedi- encia, el carino, la modestia, y el respeto por las personas viejas. Una prueba extraordinaria dei estado avanzado de su cicili- zacion es su calendario admirable. Su ano como el nuestro, tuvo 365 dias, pero los 18 meses, compuestos de 20 dias cada uno, de- jaron un exceso de cinco dias, que se anadian al ultimo mes dei ano, y se entregaban completamente a fiestas populares. Los 20 dias dei mes se llamaron “el pez,” “el viento,” “el tigre,” “la flor,” etc. Los Axtecas daban atencion particular a la agricultura. Cul- tivaban el terreno dondequiera moraban, y vivian de las cosechas. Vencidos por los pueblos vecinos, y encerrados en las islas de su lago, descuidaron la agricultura muchos anos, hasta que, forzados por la necesidad, inventaron las islas flotantes. El metodo de hacer estas islas era muy sencillo. Por medio de ramos, raices, plantas acuaticas y otros materiales ligeros. hicieron una obra de malla bastante solid entonces esparcieron en esta base plantas del mar que cubrian de la tierra dei lago. Estas islas pequenas tenian generalmente cerca de 48 pies de largo, y 18 pies de ancho y cerca AU ROIl 1 9 1 de un pie de alto. Su condicion floatante les permitio a los Indios irse de lugar en lugar llevando sus campos consigo. Otro rasgo interesante de los Aztecas es su religion. Ador- aban muchos dioses, por ejemplo “el dios de las flores,” “el dios dei sol,” “el dios de la muerte.” Edificaban templos grandes en que adoraban estos dioses. Los Aztecas creian en la inmortalidad de las almas. Los soldados matados en el campo de batalla partian a la casa dei Sol, donde vivian en deleite eterno. Despues de haber quedado alii cuatro anos, las almas bajaban a la tierra en forma de pajaros 6 flores, pero siempre podian volver a subir al cielo. Su dios supremo era el dios invisible, a quien ofrecian las primeras frutas de sus jardines. El dios segundo en el orden era “El espejo luciente,” maestro del cielo y de la tierra. Habia a lo menos una fiesta cada mes cuando se sacrificaban a los dioses seres humanos, generalmente cautivos de guerra 6 criminales. Cautivos afamados por su valor tenian el pribilegio de de- fender su vida combates gladiatorios. Estos combates tenian lugar en las plazas juntas a los templos. En el medio de la plaza estaba una plataforma de 8 pies de alto. El prisionero recibia una espada y un escudo, y uno de sus pies era atado a la plataforma. Entonces un soldado subia para luchar con el. Si el prisionero era vencido, le llevaban a la piedra de sacrificio donde le arrancaban el corazon. Si, al contrario, el prisionero conseguia la victoria sobre seis sol- dados, ganaba la libertad. Desearia hablar de otros rasgos dignos de nuestra considera- cion. como sus casas bien arregladas, sus vestidos esplendidos, su habilidad en hacer obras de arte, particularmente en oro, su lengua bastante desarrollada para la expresion de pensamientos poeeicos y su escritura ideografica, pero me falta el espacio necesario. Lo que hemos tratado en estas pocas lineas no dejara duda alguna de que la historia de los Aztecas debe de ser sumamente atractiva para el historiador y para todas clases de lectores. MARGARET G. GUDER. During recent years a change has taken place in the American High School. This has been caused by a desire for training of more practical value and studies of value in the industries and in com- merce have been substituted for the classical arts. As Agriculture is one of the most important of America’s in- dustries, it is only natural that a new course of study be offered to those wishing to become more familiar with this subject. It is of the utmost importance to the future success of Agriculture and to the prosperity of the nation that the steady flow of young men from the farms to the cities be stopped. To do this, farming must be made more attractive, which can only be accomplished by the systematic teaching of improved methods of Agriculture in the High School. In Michigan at the present time there are about forty High Schools teaching Agriculture. In all, the course of study, except for some slight variations, is practically the same. The course was introduced into Saginaw High School about three years ago and it has been very successful. The course opens with the study of Agricultural Botany. This is a practical Botany, designed to give the fundamentals of that science as applied to Agriculture. The first semester of the second year is devoted to the study of farm crops, their management and seed selection. During the second semester Horticulture is taken. The third year is devoted to the study of farm animals. Their food, care and selection are thoroughly discussed. The fourth year is devoted to the study of the soil and soil physics. As can be seen, this program is so arranged as to give training along all the im- portant branches of Agriculture. The practicability of this course is beyond question. It gives improved methods of farming and has done much to elevate Agri- culture in the minds of both city and farm students. Thus, there is a chance in the future for more cooperation between producer and consumer, once the old antagonism is broken down. To the student taking a business course the knowledge of farm JflffX URO RA 1 9 1 needs and farm products is of unlimited value. There is scarcely any American industry which is not connected in some way with the farm. Thus, people who are not entirely ignorant of the more important essentials of Agriculture will be of more service to their employers than those who know nothing of the farm or of farm products. The study of Agriculture is also of great value to the student taking College Preparatory work. It has much in it of educational value, which fact has been recognized by many colleges which now give entrance credits for Agriculture. Thus this course is not only one of practical but also of educational value. HENRY BEDFORD. LATIN The study of Latin is often considered less important than that of some other subjects, on the ground that it is a dead language and is not spoken in this age of progress. Granted that it is not the language of a modern people, yet it is the foundation of most of the languages that are spoken today, and in the Latin classics are many sentences and even whole paragraphs which are very modern in thought and meaning. In the wars which Rome waged against eastern despots of Asia and Africa and against the Gallic barbarians, and even within her own walls, many circumstances arose which greatly resemble conditions of these days when still more horrible war is raging all over the earth. The following passages with their English trans- lations are not from a modern newspaper but from the orations of Cicero. This first one might well be the motto of every citizen of the United States. Sit denique inscriptun in fronte unius cuiusque quid de re publica sentihe.—Cat. I. 13. “Finally, let it be written on the brow of each and every one what he thinks about the state.” The next sounds as though it might be from some public ad- dress of President Wilson. Huic ego me bello ducen profiteor, Quirites; suscipio inimicias hominum perditorum. Quae sanari poterunt, quacumque ratione sanabo; quae resecanda erunt, non patiar ad pernicem civitatis manere. Proinde aut exant aut quiescant, aut, si et in urbe et in eaden mente permanent, ea quae merenteur, exspectent.—Cat. II. 5. “I declare myself as leader in this war, fellow-citizens; I submit to the personal hostility of wicked men. Those things which can be cured I shall cure in whatever way it is possible; those things which ought to be pruned away, I shall not allow to remain for the destruction of the state. Accordingly, then, let those trait- orous men either leave or be silent; or if they remain in the city and in the same state of mind, let them expect those things which they deserve.” u rora 1 9 1 This third paragraph might refer to suspected foes of our country. Sed cur tam diu de uno hoste loquimur et de hoste, qui iam fatetur se ese hostium; de eis qui dissimulant, qui Romse remanent, qui nobiscum sunt, nihil dicimus?—Cat. II. 8. “But why do we speak for so long a time concerning our enemy and concerning that enemy who admits that he is an enemy; Why do we say nothing concerning those enemies who conceal their opinions, who remain at Rome, who are among us?” Who has not read articles similar to the following in many of our best magazines and newspapers? Genus est enim Belli eius modi, quod maxime vestros animos excitare atque inflammare ad persequenbi studio debeat; in quo agitar populi Romani gloria, quae vobis a maioribus cum magna in omnibus rebus, tum summa in re militari tradita est; agitur salus sociorum atque amicorum pro qua multa maiores vestri magna et gravia bella gesserunt.—De Imperio Gnaei Pompei II. “For the character of this war is such that it ought especially to ai'ouse your minds and to move them to pursue this war with utmost zeal; this war in which the glory of the Roman people is at stake, that glory which has been handed down to you by your an- cestors great in all things but most especially in military affairs. The safety of our allies and friends is at stake in behalf of whom your forefathers waged many grave and serious wars.” The paragraph which follows might easily be a quotation from an address of one of our senators or congressmen. Qua re videte, non dubitandum vobis sit omni studio ad id bellum incumbere, in quo gloria nominis vestri salus sociorum, forutnae plurimorum civium coniunctae cum re publica defend- antur.—De Imperio Gnaei Pompei VII. “Wherefore, see to it, whether or not you ought to hesitate to bend all your energies to this war with great zeal, a war in which the glory of your name, the safety of your allies and the fortunes of many men joined with that of the state are to be defended.” And not only in Cicero do we find these passages, but also in Caesar’s account of his Gallic campaigns, particularly the one against Ariovistus, the German king. The following is quoted from Caesar’s own words to show that the Germans of those ancient times were not unlike those of today. Postridie eins diei mane eadem simulatione at perfidia usi ■ Eau RORA If Germani frequentis, omnibus principibus maioribusque natu ad- hibitis, ad eum in castra venerunt, simul, ist dicebatur sui purgandi causa quod contra, atque esset dictum et ipsi petissent proelium pridie commis pissent, simel ut, si quid possent, de indutus fallendo im petrarent.—Lib. IV. XIII. “Early in the morning of the next day, using the same deceit and treachery, a great number of Germans, including all their leaders and oldest men, came to him in camp, both to clear them- selves, as they said, because they had engaged in battle the day before contrary to what they had said and even requested, and also to gain whatever they could concerning a truce, by deceit.” These quotations from the famous works of Cicero and Caesar are only a few of the great number that could have been taken to show that the so-called “dead” classics contain much that is de- cidedly “alive” and modern. WINIFRED POWELL. i TTrTTTTm.iniinrninniiiimiiD public jjjfannwwmxiuiuuXL This year Public Speaking was looked upon in a different light by the students. The indifference shown in previous years toward this subject has been overcome. In previous years the students felt that this subject was a sort of punishment thrust upon them but they have now come to realize how helpful it really is. Public Speaking gives us force of expression and helps to overcome that which is known as stage fright. The assignments are usually topics of vital importance dealing with the present. Freshmen are taught Public Speaking by their English teach- ers. An hour’s work each week is devoted to this subject. The course this year required each Freshman to memorize a declama- tion. Those who had a good delivery and so desired entered the declamation contest. This number was nineteen. The Sophomores who were more experienced in the art of Public Speaking respond- ed with more enthusiasm. The number of contestants from that grade was twenty-eight. In the final contest Blanche Kynast, a Sophomore, won first place with the declamation, “Why we are Fighting Germany.” Gordon Goodfellow, a Freshman, won second place with the declamation on “Citizenship.” The Junior work consisted of three to five minute speeches on current topics at the beginning of the year. Later the time was spent on orations. Each Junior was required to write an oration which contained from fourteen hundred to sixteen hundred words. Those who had good papers were allowed to enter the oratorical contest, the number being twelve. These orations were excellent in subject, thought and composition, showing that a great deal of time was devoted to them. The time was so arranged that six spoke one day and the other six the next day. Two were chosen from each group of six who meet the following day to decide the final winner. Estelle Freeman won first place and the right to represent the school in the first sub-district contest of the Michigan High School Association. Carl Marx was a very close second, his t . 1 au R o rt I subject being “Licensed Disloyalty,” dealing with the liquor prob- lem in the United States. The annual first sub-district contest of the Michigan High School Oratorical Association was held in Saginaw on Friday, April 12, 1918. In this contest Miss Kynast was awarded second place and the winner of first place was announced at the time. Miss Kynast gave Secretary Lane’s speech on “Why we are Fighting Germany.” In oratory no decision was reached, because the oration of one of the contestants had not been judged for thought and com- position. First place in this contest was between Miss Evelyn Burk- holder, of Alpena, whose oration was on the subject “Democracy versus Autocracy,” and Miss Estelle Freeman, of Saginaw, whose oration was on the subject “The Alliance of Labor.” The other contestant was Omer Colbert, of Midland. In the final decision Miss Freeman was given two firsts and one second in thought and one first and a second and a third in delivery, thereby losing by one point. The Seniors have an entirely different type of work. Their time is taken up in debating. The subjects deal with political, social and economic problems. In the latter part of March prep- arations were begun on the Valley debate, the subject of this de- bate being “Resolved, that a permanent board be established to regulate the price and distribution of food stuffs.” Those interested in this debate were, Lippert Ellis, Philip Keeler, John Clayton, Rowland Worden, Albert Yaeger, Loyd Yeo, Clifford Friers, Henry Bedford and Stanley Kroll. The affirmative team was composed of Lippert Ellis, Philip Keeler, Loyd Yeo and Stanley Kroll and the negative team of Clifford Friers, Henry Bedford, Rowland Worden and Albert Yaeger. This subject is becoming of greater interest as time goes by, the students are cooperating with the teacher, Mr. Hopkins, and are making excellent progress under his leadership. We as a class profited immensely by Public Speaking and sincerely hope the stu- dents following will have an equal amount of interest in this subject. STANLEY PERRY KROLL. DEBAT IN G TE A M S WINNERS OF CONTESTS IN ORATORY AND DECLAMATION 7T Manual Training work, first given for a more or less indefinite cultural value, has been developing for some years toward a thor- oughly practical training. The results produced have both re- moved doubts as to its value and brought to the public a better realization of the importance of manual training in school work. Many of our former students, because of the manual training work they had in school, are holding important positions in various in- dustries and only recently several boys have been released from school to replace older men in the drafting room of a shop doing war work. Then, too, the public has become closer acquainted with the work of the students through the annual exhibition held in school at the end of the year, where they have seen the boys at work and samples of work done. Work is also exhibited at the County Fair where it may be compared with that from other schools. Representative work in manual training is that of the boys in the Mechanic Arts or Group V. course. Special attention is given to manual training, which is required in this course. In the other courses students elect much of the manual training work. Also, the work done by Group V. boys is more extensive than that of the others. The classes get twice as much time and can do more than twice as much work. One would not expect much from a French, mathematics, or science class meeting once a week, and it is equally a mistake to expect too much from once-a-week subjects in manual training. The work treated here is, therefore, largely that done by Group V. boys. The aim in manual training work is to give the student as much practical knowledge and experience as possible, believing that such training is equal to any other. The first in importance is shop ' fljff m A TJ R ORA © 1 H mathematics, which gives the student an insight to the kind of work that comes up in shop and office. This subject is taught five hours a week for two years. It deals with practical problems as found in commercial work. Enough practical work in geometry and trig- onometry is given to enable the student to apply his knowledge to simple problems in truss work, tool and jig work, etc. Many of the different things essential to engineering are taken up, including such things as horse-power, the expansion of metals, specific grav- ity, estimating the weight of castings, the strength of materials and stresses in beams such as in bridges and buildings. Many of the things learned here are later applied to problems in the shop, as for instance figuring screw threads and the use of the dividing head in the machine shop. Shop-work is given in woodworking, patternmaking, foundry, forging and machine shop. Practical work predominates and the different shops cooperate with each other. The exercise pieces are reduced to as few as possible, making the work very much like a man’s work. In woodworking, which includes both wood-turning and cab- inetmaking, the student is first given practice in using the tools. Then a good deal of practical work of various kinds is turned out, part of the time being given to the student to make things for him- self, usually tables, chairs, tabourets, trays, candlesticks, etc. Patternmaking is the making of patterns, usually of wood, of the size and shape of the desired casting. The patterns are taken to the foundry where a mold of sand is constructed around them. The patterns are then removed, leaving a hole the size and shape of the pattern. Molten metal, usually iron, is then poured into the mold. After the metal has cooled, the sand is removed and the casting is taken to the machine shop. Commercially, a foundry supplies much of the raw material for a machine shop and this is the case in our school, the foundry supplying the machine shop with most of its material for exercise pieces and machine parts. Forging takes up the different kinds of work in blacksmithing such as welding, tempering and the working of metals into different forms and shapes. The work includes making loose and welded rings, hooks, chains, chisels, knives and similar things, giving a practical knowledge of forging which is essential to any machinist or engineer, not overlooking its importance on the farm. The work in machine shop is more difficult than that in the URO Ii A 9 1 other shops, for the machines are more complex, requiring more skill in handling. A number of exercises are therefore first given, to acquaint the student with the different machines. These are followed as soon as possible by machine parts. Work is given in gear cutting, screw cutting, grinding, turning, etc. A considerable number of vises are made each year. The drawings for these are first made in the drafting room and sent to the pattern shop where the patterns are made, the patterns in turn being sent to the foundry, which produces the castings that go to the machine shop. Here they are machined and assembled to make a complete vise. Most of the machine work on a vise is done on a lathe and shaper. The lathe is used in turning up the screw, which is made from a piece of machine steel. The screw blank revolves between two centers on the lathe. The blank is worked to the right size by means of a cutting tool held in the carriage. The carriage moves along the bed of the lathe and has a number of adjustments for cutting threads. The number of threads cut per inch can be regu- lated by changing gears at the end of the lathe. In machining the jaws of the vise the shaper is used. This has a bed on which the jaws are securely clamped in place. The cutting tool is held in the head, which can be adjusted to any angle. The head moves back and forth, planing off the surface of the jaws. Mechanical drawing is given for four years. The work is pro- gressive in character and the student is given more advanced work as soon as he has mastered one class of work. At the end of one year, a ninth grade student is expected to know the use of instru- ments, the different lines used, what a simple drawing is like and he has made enough drawings to get an idea of good work. In the second year some projection work is given and also practical con- struction work. Work in gearing is given the third year but the work becomes more and more practical and in the last year is as nearly like that in a commercial shop as possible. Contrary to a common notion, the amount of mechanical draw- ing one can learn is limited if he is unfamiliar both with mathe- matics and shop standards of work, and likewise a machinist or patternmaker is handicapped without a knowledge of drafting and mathematics. The work in shop mathematics and in the different shops is necessary to enable the draftsman to make the drawings as comprehensive as they should be. The shop math, supplies the 1 AU R O IZ 9 1 Jf mathematics needed in drafting and the shop work gives him an idea of what is required in a drawing and just how much a shop can and cannot do. And so in the Mechanics Arts course the student gets a well rounded course which fits him to take up one of several different lines of practical work, and to do very well in the line to which his interests may direct him. HENRY J. GREFE. At the opening of the second semester the sentiment in favor of Military Training in Saginaw High School began to assume a definite form of expression. While previously there had been a few boys who were very much in earnest and who wanted to enter such a course, the majority had not, until this time, expressed this desire in any organized form. When it became apparent to every one that this country had before it the prospect of a long war, however, and that more and more trained men would be called for service, the boys of Saginaw High School, by drawing up and signing a petition for a class in Military Training, showed that they were not lacking the soldierly spirit. Seventy-eight names were signed to the original petition which resulted in an immediate call for a meeting of all boys who were interested. Over one hundred bo3 s responded, and on Tues- day evening, February 26, Lieut. Don P. Toole of the Saginaw Home Guards, was introduced to them as their drill master. His inspiring presence, his splendid enthusiasm and soldierly bearing immediately won the confidence of all who attended this meeting, and the result was that one hundred and six boys immediately signed up for the course. Drill was started the following Thursday evening in the gym- nasium and has since been held twice a week. After the first four weeks, drill uniforms were ordered and a gun used for drill pur- poses was made in the woodworking and foundry departments, so that we now have a fully equipped Cadet Corps which has been re- duced, by selection, to two platoons of forty men each, with their officers, making eighty-eight men in all. The excellence and precision of the instruction given and the splendid morale of our organization have combined to give us one — z=Z Tpf—l. U R O Ii V 1 'JCAjiy e 1 sI of the finest cadet corps in the state. They typify, in so far as it is possible for a high school organization to do so, the kind of man- hood that our country is calling to its aid in the great struggle for democracy. The entire school is proud of the showing which our boys make when they appear in public and is glad to be able to point out this organization as one of the visible manifestations of our fighting spirit. H. S. DOOLITTLE. America at ar. We of the present generation are living in one of the most important eras of the world’s history. Numerous inventions, the incessant hum of machinery in millions of factories, the incon- ceivable amount of traffic on a tangled network of transportation lines proclaim our industrial activity. Educational methods have advanced greatly and thus the quality of citizenship is being im- proved. It is not these enormous strides made in the prosperity of our country that is to make this period recorded in the memory of the generations to come. It is the present titanic struggle between democracy and autocracy that is to emblazon history’s pages in the future. From every part of the world came volunteers to fight for those principles of freedom that are so dear to us. Even our own country, the United States, which had always been adverse to interfering in European struggles, has been drawn into this seeth- ing whirlpool of war. The realization that we were at war came very slowly to us. When home ties were broken by the departure of boys in khaki; when we began scanning the daily increasing casualty list for familiar names; it was then that we began to realize that we were actually in the struggle to fight to a finish. We seemed loath to turn back the hands of the clock of civilization by engaging in the barbarities of war, but when the call for action came, we Amer- icans, although a democratic people, accepted the conscription acts as an absolute necessity. As the boys assembled in the numerous cantonments, dis- tributed throughout the United States and the nation became bur- dened with an immense financial problem the country loyally re- sponded to the call for money through the Liberty Loans. Not only the capitalist, but the poorest laborer sacrificed part of his meager salary to help his country. Each bond that was purchased U RO R W © 1 aided in equipping a soldier and gave him a fair chance to fight for his life. Still the wealth of a nation will not win wars. Every fighting man must be physically fit and this result can be obtained only through proper nourishment. The task of feeding our allies, sol- diers, and civilian population is tremendous and the food adminis- tration is constantly placing before the American people the abso- lute need of food conservation. This is an important issue not only during the war but it will continue to be so during the reconstruc- tion period. Lack of labor and unsettled weather conditions in the great food producing sections of the country, together with the problem of feeding our allies, bring America face to face with a great food shortage. Yet many console themselves by saying that there would be plenty of food if the speculators did not hold it for higher prices. It is this idea which has caused many to protest against the use of substitutes, for very few people realize that in certain war-stricken countries even substitutes are unobtainable. In France and Switzerland there are thousands of Belgian refugees who look toward America for their daily bread, and surely Americans, to whom famine is almost unknown, cannot resist such an appeal for food. When crossing an American schoolyard or passing down a street, we see rosy-cheeked children romping about and hear the laughter of happy children whose minds are free from the barbar- ities of war. We hope that the youth of America may never see the horrible deeds perpetuated in Belgium by barbarous Huns and in Armenia by blood-thirsty Turks. Although the Red Cross has been working in these two coun- tries to alleviate the suffering, still their activity has been somewhat limited by lack of funds. The United States has responded gener- ously to the appeals for help from this organization but there are thousands of true Americans, who have been discouraged from contributing by false reports or, in other words, German propa- ganda. The work of the Red Cross is not only to aid the suffering in war but it has proven of great value in times of peace. In calam- ities such as earthquakes, fires, famine, floods, etc., the Red Cross has always been most able to aid, because of its thorough efficiency to cope with such situations but never before has it obtained such prominence as in this war. f AU R O IZ A .mil - - 9 1 In the tracks of advancing troops follow Red Cross ambulances, doctors and nurses to aid the wounded. Through the efforts of this organization the canteen service has been established and various other comforts provided for the boys “over there.” In France and Belgium today there is not a boy or girl who does not know of the American Red Cross, for to many of them it means salvation from hunger and other horrors of war. If we would save ourselves from the rule of a tyrant, we must help our allies and our soldiers by subscribing whole-heartedly to the Liberty Loan, by practicing a stricter conservation of food and by helping the Red Cross to aid others. We must do all these things and more if we would make our cause successful. MARTHA ALBOSTA. L “Music brings to the soul a veritable inward culture and is part of the education of a people.”—Guizot. Music has always had a strong hold in the development of the world. Even in the present age when the world is engaged in the most titanic struggle it has ever known, this art is playing an im- portant part in the general activities of the people. In the camps and in the trenches the men look forward to the time when they can gather in groups and sing the songs so familiar to them. At home the martial spirit of the songs causes our blood to tingle and arouses our patriotism. Today the average person loves music and thus enjoys life in all its richness. During the past four years, as we look back over our High School life, music has helped to make our training complete. We have learned the beauty of harmony and our ears have been trained to recognize good music. The music course in High School has several branches. First, those who care to study music as a part of their daily program meet in the music room and sing or listen to selections on the Vic- trola or player piano. We are taught to appreciate the composi- tions and works of some of the greatest composers the world has ever known and are given an insight into the secret of their success- ful lives. Many of them were compelled to pass through many hardships which in the end strengthened their character. Another branch is the community singing in the chapel exer- cises, where the different grades meet and sing the old familiar and patriotic songs. The singing of the upper class chapel is of an order seldom heard. It is spirited and the tone, quality and volume are nearly if not quite all that could be desired. The Boys’ Glee Club aids by attending each week and taking the lead in the sing- ing. This club is under the direction of Mr. W. J. Brydges and has a membership of about thirty. The boys win great favor when- au rora i 9 1 ever they appear. Their success is largely due to the capability of their leader. An organization which receives a great deal of credit is the Girls’ Amphion Club. It has as its leader Mrs. K. M. B. Wilson who always has shown great interest in musical organizations. This club has appeared several times and was highly complimented by those who heard it. The Orchestra, which has a membership of fourteen, is also under the leadership of Mrs. Wilson. It has made several appear- ances in public and its work is highly appreciated. Another organization which is connected indirectly with the High School is the Liberty Chorus, which has as its president Mr. Brydges. It had its origin through the Women’s Clubs of the city for the purpose of community singing at patriotic meetings. An encouraging sign is seen in the number of students from our music classes who identify themselves with the Chorus, which shows not only their deep interest in music, but also their deep sense of pa- triotism ; for the practice, occurring as it does on Tuesday night, takes most of the evening from their studies. Too much stress can- not be laid on the importance of community singing, especially in these days of world war. More and more will our citizens feel the pangs of the struggle and the singing of our patriotic songs will tend in a small but effective way to cheer and gladden our hearts. It has been said that the nation that can keep on singing will be the victorious one. Then let us do our bit. The American people need to sing now more than they ever did and we need to make music more realistic to those who have not learned to appreciate it as they should. IRMA CRIMMINS. AMY GATZ.

He sat in his big office chair with his feet high on the desk and the smoke from his cigar curled and floated away like a miniature volcano, while he dreamed, as even business men will dream sometimes. Ellis was dreaming of a woman, handsome and alluring, with wonderful eyes of brown and with a quantity of amber yellow hair. That was the picture of Madelon Fournier, as he parted from her the evening before ; and somehow he thought she reminded him of a tiger lily. “I wonder if she could be won by an ordinary fellow like me?” Ellis thought. Then a little flash of memory crossed his dream. There was another girl who might claim his affection. He had never spoken of love or marriage to Mae Walker but she had been very dear to him. “And I have shown my regard for her plainly enough,” he reflected. To put another in her place would not only cause him to lose respect for himself but it would also incur the loss of Mae’s esteem and respect for him. She was a lovely girl, proud and dainty, clever and sensible, with serious blue eyes and hair of pale shining gold. She, too, re- minded Ellis of a lily, not of the superb tiger lily, but of the tall, white lily with its grace and innocence. “And between my two lily-girls I am about as uncomfortable as a fickle fellow ought to be,” he thought as he puffed on his cigar. Between his infatuation for Miss Fournier and his sincere af- fection for Mae, he was very unhappy. He flung his cigar into the ash-tray and turned to get his hat and coat. A walk in the fresh air might settle his disordered brain. He walked very slowly, but soon his mind was diverted by the actions of a gang of boys farther down the street. The youngsters, AU I O TLA Cjt fasSt ragged and dirty, were tormenting a very old man who was hob- bling along on a crutch. At first they yelled at him, but in a moment were throwing sticks and stones at him. The old man dodged these missiles for a moment but some- thing struck the crutch and knocked it from his hand. He swayed helplessly, then fell headlong on the pavement. As he fell, a young girl walked swiftly to the spot. Ellis heard her voice as she rebuked the offenders. It was like the voice of an angel and the boys of the street listened, ashamed. “We was only foolin’, Miss. We didn’t mean to do nothin’ wrong,” one said. And then they went away, sober and quieted. Ellis, still watching, saw her face as she turned to help the old man to his feet. It was the face of a saint in its heavenly pity. It was also the face of Mae Walker. ■ She put the crutch under the helpless man’s arm and then guided his footsteps until he was again able to hobble along un- aided. Ellis was not surprised at the girl’s noble action. It was the gentle consideration she used always for her own parents which had attracted and charmed him at the beginning of their ac- quaintance. To obey the commandment: “Honor thy father, and thy mother,” Ellis regarded as the supreme virtue. “And I can never trust nor love a girl who is lacking in that sense,” he thought. “Most certainly such a person would be de- ficient in all desirable qualities.” With an admiring look on his face he quickened his pace and soon reached Mae. “How often do you enact the role of guardian angel?” he asked with a smile. She looked up in surprise. “Why, whenever it is necessary, of course,” she answered. “But you might have omitted the ‘angel’, Bob.” “You deserve it,” he said, with so much emphasis that she blushed. He walked home with her and dined with her later. And while in her society he forgot the tiger lily. The old charm held n AU R ORA a him and for a few weeks he scarcely remembered the existence of Madelon Fournier. Then the latter sent him a note, reminding him of his promise to escort her somewhere on a certain date. He did not remember any such promise; but he failed to suspect that the note might be only a lure to get him back into the power of her fascinations. She liked Ellis (as he had a rich father and was the only child) and she used every siren wile to win him back again. Never before had she been so attractive, never before had she been so bewilder- ing and so charming; and before he realized it, he was once more infatuated by her beguiling arts. He did not mean to be weak and inconsistent but he knew he was all those things and worse. And the memory of little Mae Walker stung him with remorse and sorrow. “I’ve put myself in a nice predicament,” he grumbled in dis- gust. “Here I am between two lily girls, adoring both, and unable to fix my fickle mind on either of them.” But Bob Ellis was soon to find the choice of his own heart. On a certain occasion he met Miss Fournier at a social func- tion; and at the end of the entertainment he conducted her to her carriage which was very old-fashioned but comfortable. “Will you call a taxi for mother?” she asked as she stepped into the brougham. “Of course you will drive home with me and it is very uncomfortable with three persons in the carriage.” Ellis had hardly noticed the white haired old lady who fol- lowed them so meekly. But now his heart was thrilled with pity as he gazed at her face which looked so forlorn and sad and she was very frail and timid. He had eagerly anticipated the drive home with Madelon and supper afterward, but now he was repelled; he was conscious of nothing but aversion and an impulse to get away from her and out of her sight. He felt as if he hated and despised the heartless beauty at that moment. “I thank you, Miss Fournier,” he replied in as civil a tone as he could. “But I couldn’t possibly take your mother’s place in a warm carriage and put her in a cold and cheerless cab. Our most sacred duty is to see that our parents are comfortable.” With a hurried good-by he moved away. He went back into the house for his gloves which he had forgotten and a moment later came out again and started down the avenue. AU R o 1 e i Around the next corner he saw the Fournier carriage which had stopped at the curb. The old lady was trying to descend from it but Madelon held on to her coat and was trying to keep her inside. “No, no,” she sobbed. “I’ll walk. I can’t stand your temper any longer, Madelon.” “You had no business to come with me, anyway,” Madelon snapped sharply; “but you always tag me wherever I go. Now you want to attract attention on the street. Get in here.” She tugged so furiously at the coat that it became unfastened and he old lady fell to the pavement on her hands and knees. Still scolding, Madelon jumped to the ground, seized the pros- trate woman roughly and actually threw the frail, little woman into the carriage. Ellis, unobserved, saw and heard all of this. He felt dazed and angry as he resumed his walk down the avenue. “Well,” he muttered. “That was a narrow escape; no tiger lily for mine. Just imagine any fellow living all his life in the power of those claws. She abused her mother because I wouldn’t take the poor old lady’s place in that carriage.” The spell had gone forever. Never again could she charm him and never again could the siren lure him back, a captive to her arts and wiles. Mae, the pure, white lily, became his wife. They are very, very happy and he will love her loyally and faithfully while he lives.

With the exception of the defeat at the hands of Detroit Central and the ability of our friends, the Hillites, to hold us scoreless, Sag- inaw would have had an unsurpassable year. The squad that answered Coach Miller’s call for football can- didates was one of the largest and best in years. With such men as Captain Schmidt, Buetow, Huss, Austin, and Jaeger to use as a framework. Coach Miller realized no difficulty in completing a thoroughly efficient team. The line developed by Coach Miller promised to be one of the heaviest and fastest ever turned out by the Saginaw High School. With the return of Klumpp, who proved a good running mate for Schmidt, Saginaw developed one of the best back fields in the state. In this game, the team showed up in great style. Schmidt led the offensive with two touchdowns, the Alumni finding great trou- ble in stopping him. The “old grads.” came back strong in the second half but were stopped by the school’s brick wall defence. The “old timers” came through with a touchdown in the third quar- ter, and one at the beginning of the fourth, but after that they never came close to the goal, the ball remaining in their territory for the remainder of the game. Saginaw journeyed to Port Huron for their first out of town game. This game was made close through the many raw decisions called against our team. Saginaw was penalized over two hundred yards during this game. Port Huron could find no consolation in hitting the Saginaw line, so resorted to a game of forward passing and end running. Saginaw gained at will, but whenever the goal was within reaching distance was penalized. During the entire fourth period Saginaw was in Port Huron’s territory. Late in this quarter Schmidt pounded his way over for the third touchdown. Schmidt was again the big light, getting all the touchdowns, al- though he was ably assisted by the rest of the backfield. Saginaw 26 — Alumni 12 Saginaw 20 — Port Huron 14 R ORA 1 Saginaw 14 — Jackson 7 e i Saginaw showed state championship form in this game and by winning eliminated Jackson, a strong contender for state honors. Hackson’s line was somewhat heavier than Saginaw’s, but Saginaw managed to handle them in line style. Captain “Piggy” and Klumpp were our chief ground-gainers. These men were practically a team in themselves with their great smashes and their wonderful defensive work. Although the rest of our backfield was somewhat overshadowed by the former men, they were in the game fighting from start to finish. Our line, led by giant Buetow, succeeded in breaking up most of the Prison City’s plays. Saginaw started out with a snap, scoring in the first four min- utes of play on a pass from Kaufmann to Schmidt and a few line plunges, Kaufmann carrying it over. The next score came in the third quarter when, after marching straight down the field, Klumpp carried it over. The whole team played such football as to strengthen their right to play for the state title. Saginaw 21 —Owosso 0 In a game where scoring chances were just naturally passed by, we romped over Owosso for a 21 to 0 score. Saginaw worked the forward pass game to good advantage. The playing in the other departments was very ragged. At the close of the second period Saginaw scored for the first time, Klumpp going over. Schmidt and Weadock each counted for one in the next period. But one real feature was offered to the public in this game and that was a forty-yard pass, Schmidt to Whitney. Saginaw 27 — Flint 2 Saginaw again strengthened her claims on the state champion- ship by brushing Flint aside with a 27 to 2 score. Flint invaded our city with a heavy, scrappy team and a heavy line. Our backfield played rings around the Flint boys. Piggy did not get into the fray until the last half when he opened up and just kept on punching the line. He favored his injured shoulder. Buetow, being ineligible, was replaced by Brown who played as IV VCtl .1. '1' 1 V' I I |f[ffAU R. O RA i e rail wall as Brute usually did so that the team was not weak at this point. Our ends were continually stopping the noted Flint end runners, who refused to smash our line. We shoved over one score in the first quarter and two in the third while Klumpp pounded his way down the field for one in the last quarter. Weadock crossed twice and Schmidt once. It was a costly victory because of the fact that Klumpp’s nose was broken. He did not notice it during the game but after a close examination it was found to be in a bad condition. Although they played very ragged football, Saginaw com- pletely smothered Western. Most of the points were scored in the first and third periods while the first team men were in. The second stringies had a good time at Western’s expense during the second and fourth quarters. Bay City was completely out-classed as well as out-weighed. Our team averaged about fifteen more pounds to the man. In this game “Dutch” unearthed another ground gainer in Brown who showed up very well. He not only gained at will but also held up his end of the de- fense. Western had only one letter man and he was their principal ground-gainer. Our line completely out-classed that of the Cow- boys, as they were hopelessly out-weighed. Buetow celebrated the occasion by treating those B. C. boys “rough.” He also did great toe work, getting seven goals out of seven tries from touchdowns, after Schmidt had crossed for four, Klumpp for two and Buetow for three, two punt outs being dropped. Our hopes were at last realized! Saginaw by switching ob- tained a game with Detroit Central. This was our chance to prove our right to the state championship. Playing before the largest crowd that ever saw an outside team play here, Saginaw suffered its first defeat since Coach Miller had charge of the team. The speedy Detroit backfield and the wonderful aerial attack which they developed was too much for the local boys. In all other departments we clearly out-played our opponents. Our line stood up wonderfully under the strain, while Saginaw 61—Bay City Western 0 Saginaw 7 — Detroit Central 27 U RORA � 6 1 9 our backfield tore off many substantial gains. George Klumpp playing with a broken nose, played as few people have ever seen anybody play on Alumni Fied, while Norm Buetow, our veteran tackle, succeeded in breaking up play after play. He showed his further ability by getting good punts off and in his effectiveness in hitting the line. For Detroit, Capt. Brenkert and Brokaw, the Mercury duo, and right end Maxon, who seemed in possession of a superhuman ability for catching passes, were the stunning lights. Time after time, Maxon was seen to rise out of nowhere and grab a pass, always making a good gain. Detroit scored early in the first period, being fairly handed their chance. Capt. Schmidt won the toss and Detroit kicked to us. After carrying the ball to mid-field Saginaw lost the ball when an attempted forward pass fell into the hands of Lane, who re- turned it to our 45-yard line. At this point they fumbled and Wal- lace recovered the ball. Saginaw then started down the field on their march over the line. Buetow, Brown, Klumpp, and Schmidt gained regularly in this drive, Klumpp taking it over. This seemed to arouse Detroit for they immediately “got going,” pushed two over in the third and another in the fourth period. Saginaw 13 — Bay City Eastern 7 They came full of pep! They left “out of step.” Saginaw' gave Eastern their first Valley defeat, due in a large measure to the wonderful playing of Buetow, who used his beefy stature to good advantage. Buetow and Schmidt were the most eminent ground gainers. Saginaw' played without the services of Klumpp and Jaeger, and the playing in the first quarter advertised their absence. A poor put by Buetow gave Eastern its opportunity to score in the first period. After this score Saginaw came back and outplayed Bay City at every point. Receiving the next kick-off Saginaw made her touchdown without once losing the ball. Schmidt, Buetow and Brown led the attack but it w'as Buetow who carried it over. Buetow fumbled and failed to make an easy goal, leaving Bay City one point ahead, a lead w'hich they maintained until the beginning of the last quarter. In the last quarter Saginaw' had Bay City playing a defensive game. The ball was finally brought within striking distance and Buetow carried it over. Saginaw 0 — Arthur Hill 0 Hard luck! More than we deserved. For the second consecutive year Arthur Hill again managed to hold Saginaw to a 0 to 0 score. Saginaw’s heavy team out-played Arthur Hill’s lighter team in every department. Schmidt won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. With the entire backfield going at top speed Saginaw looked unbeat- able. After gaining two first downs in three plays, Saginaw lost the ball through a fumble. Failing to gain, Arthur Hill punted on their third down from their five-yard line. From here on Saginaw played an offensive game while Arthur Hill was continually forced to punt. Saginaw had its first opportunity to score in second quarter, when Buetow carried the ball to the Hillites five-yard line. From here a pass fell short on the goal line and Saginaw lost the ball on downs. Buetow was injured and Egloff came in. Saginaw was weakened slightly but still held and outplayed the Arthur Hill team. During the third quarter, Saginaw carried the ball inside Arthur Hill’s ten-yard line twice but was unable to smash through for a score. A controversy arose when the ball rolled over the goal line and an Arthur Hill man fell on it. This play was declared a safety. In the fourth quarter. Saginaw took the ball down to the two- yard line from which Captain Schmidt carried the ball within one inch of a touchdown. From here on Saginaw chose the aerial game and succeeded in reaching the four-yard line, beyond which they could not go. The ball was in Saginaw’s possession on the thirty- yard line when the whistle blew. SAGINAW—0 0—ARTHUR HILL Haskin .... Brown .... Huss........ Wallace . . . Austin .... Buetow .... Whitney .. .

Saginaw’s quintet started the year with a disappointment, but “ask Alpena about the finish!” A great blow was felt by the men when Coach “Dutch” Miller left for Camp Custer. Although Franz handled the team in good shape we were sorry to lose Miller. As soon as football season finished, Captain Norris put in a call for candidates. A goodly number answered the call. Led by Captain Norris at center, with Emery and Kaufmann back to fill the forwards and such men as McKnight, Morley, Gillam and Evans at hand, Saginaw looked “pretty good.” Although we didn’t have a very bright season, every game was a scrappy fight from start to finish. Alumni 20 — Saginaw 16 The school quintet suffered their first defeat at the hands of the “old grads” in an overtime game. Starting with a thrill and ending with a thrill, the game proved to be one of the best ever staged between the “old boys” and the school. The score stood at a tie when the whistle blew'. This made it necessary to play five minutes overtime, during w'hich the Alumni came through strong. Summary: M. Wallis.....................F.......................

Saginaw had quite a lead, but this gradually dwindled after the substitution of Gillam for McKnight, disqualified for personal fouls, and of Skimin for Kaufmann, in- jured. Bay City tied the score by shooting two lucky baskets in the final minutes of play. In the overtime Bay City scored the necessary points to give them the edge over our quintet. B. C. WESTERN S. H. S.

The game was a fight from start to finish, first one side and then the other taking the lead. Flint won by making a great spurt in the closing minute of play. S. H. S. 34 —B. C. E. 31 Saginaw, playing on the west side floor, defeated the B. C. E. team. By playing a peppy game and by the good work of our guards Saginaw was able to put over a three-point margin.

CSTHftf liRlBLt uro r v 9 1 Girls’ Basketball. This year showed more progress in girls’ basketball than in any preceding season. Through the efforts of Coach Mrs. Riese and Captain Helen Kaiser, we were able to get a schedule of valley games. The girls made a fine record and succeeded in getting the Valley championship besides tying with Flint for the State. We wish next year’s team even more success. Although graduation will take all the regulars except Margaret Wallace and Susan Perrin, yet there is fine material in the second team and an unu- sually good line up is anticipated for another season. Saginaw 26 — Alumni 3 The first game, played against the Alumni on January 4, re- sulted in an easy victory for the school. Susan Perrin at forward starred for the winners, making 16 of the 26 points. The line-up: SAGINAW ALUMNI Willis F Schmidt S. C Kaiser (C) Woodruff Field goals—Perrin 8, Silliman 3, Wallace, Price, Willis. Fouls—Willis 1. Referee—Mrs. Riese. Time of halves, 10 minutes. Saginaw 48 — B. C.

The line-up: SAGINAW WESTERN Hill F. . Kaiser (C) G.. Score first half—Saginaw 30, Western 0. Final score—Sag- inaw 48, Western 1. R O Ii 1 9 1 Field goals—Perrin 2, Wallace 3, Hill 19. Fouls—Shaver 1. Referee—Mrs. Riese. Time of halves 15 minutes. Saginaw 42 — Arthur Hill 4 On January 18, Saginaw played Arthur Hill on the Y. M. C. A. floor. The Hillites as well as the Alumni and Bay City Western were no match for Mrs. Riese’s sextette, which was in good trim. Margaret Wallace and Harriet Silliman were the shining lights for Saginaw although all the girls played a fine game. The West Side forwards could do nothing against our sturdy guards. Captain Kai- ser and “Woody,” while our centers, Sue Perrin and Willa Orr, had little trouble in outplaying their opponents. The line-up: SAGINAW ARTHUR HILL Elb Woodruff Field goals—Wallace 8, Silliman 7, Perrin 5, Elliot, Spaulding. Fouls—Wallace 2. Referee—Mrs. Reise. Time of halves 15 minutes. Saginaw 18 — Flint 23 At Flint, in the game played January 25, our girls met with the first opposition of the season. That city’s lassies exhibited con- siderable speed and kept Saginaw hustling. The whole fault with our team was over-confidence, because of the easy victories over all the other valley teams. It took the whole first half for them to wake up to the fact that Flint had a real team. The second, how- ever, was hard-fought and scrappy, all the Saginaw girls playing a fine bit of basketball. Flint’s victory was practically won by Mildred Bunce, who certainly played a great game, as forward. The line-up: SAGINAW FLINT Wallace ...........................F..................................

Western, played February 15 at Bay City, that team showed a great deal more spirit than in the first. Since that time they evidently unearthed a few real basket- ball players. Although Western managed to get only three points, they were able to hold our girls down to the smallest score of the season. Saginaw 33 — Arthur Hill 5 On February 22, our girls defeated Arthur Hill with a top- heavy score. There was little to make the game interesting, as the West Siders had not increased their speed or strength one iota since we met them the first time. Saginaw 18 — Flint 17 On March 1st, Flint came to Saginaw to play the return game and suffered their only defeat at the hands of the home basketeers in the fastest, most spirited contest of the season. Saginaw had the lead throughout most of the game, but only by a very close margin. Mrs. Riese’s girls made a fine exhibition of team work, all playing consistent games. Mildred Bunce, as in the first game, was the whole thing for Flint. Due to her extraordinary ability at foul-shooting, the visitors kept their score perilously close to that of the winners. Owing to the unnecessarily close refereeing in the first half, the game was somewhat slowed up, eight fouls being called on each side. The line-up: SAGINAW FLINT Wallace F Hill F Perrin C Orr S.

Referees—Miss Baker, Flint; Mrs. Riese, Saginaw. Time of halves 15 minutes. Owing to the four weeks’ vacation this winter, the interclass games were cut short. The Class of ’18 kept up their former “rep” by beating the other class teams and coming out school champions, . as they have done every year of their sojourn in Saginaw High. SUSIE HILL.

Pat.—“Sh-sh, Mike, there’s three thousand Germans asleep here. Shall we kill ’em all?” Mike—“Naw, wake ’em up and give ’em a chance.” Ia u R o RA 1 9 ±m HEARD IN THE BACK ROW AT ASSEMBLY. “Only nine-fifty! Help! I suffer untold agonies.” Miles puts in the Punch. “Say, his voice is as good as a dose of soothing syrup.” “Oh, girls! They’ve got a fine show at the Strand.” “Do you think she really means us?” “Aw, come on and be a sport.” “Cheer up, Kid, there ain’t no hell.” “Isn’t her hat a perfect scream.” “Some day and lots of it.” “Well, if heaven is anything like this, I don’t wont to go there.” A dirty-looking lad, carrying a baseball bat and mit, was asked by an elderly gentleman, “Going to play ball, young man?” “Me?” replied Harry. “Sure not.

This midnight studying cannot be ill, cannot be good. If ill, why hath it given me earnest of my credits Commencing in F. If good, why do I yield to that Suggestion which says, that, flunking last year, I may Flunk again and cause father to knock against the Seat of my trousers with all the force of his nature. Present fears are less than what they have been. But my thoughts, which say that a flunk is not impossible, Shake so what little ambition I might have, That air castles are smothered in a test, And my dreams are what realities are not. + REVISED PROVERBS. The wise child dies youngest. The rolling stone sees most of the world. A soft answer turnest away wrath; but an invitation to “have one” will often restore warmth where only coldness existed before. Union is not always strength, said the Jackie, as he saw the cook mixing his rum with water. He who is overflowing with the milk of human kindness keeps the cream for himself. 1 A TJ R O Ii A 1 9 1 AL FISH’S SONG. My diploma lies over the ocean, My diploma lies over the sea, But I think I’ll be old and grey-headed Before it’s presented to me. Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, I wondered if ever these lessons Could be pounded into my head. 0 ye winds that blow over the ocean, O ye winds that blow over the sea, 1 wish you’d blow my diploma Right past examinations to me. + A PROBLEM IN GEOMETRY. To prove “That a ton of coal is a colored man.” Proof: A ton of coal is weight; weight is a pause; a pause is a short stop; a short stop is a ball player; a ball player is a fowl grabber; a fowl grabber is a colored man; therefore: A ton of coal is a colored man. + A minister placed a placard, giving the subject of his two sermons, in front of his church: Subject for morning address, “The Devil;” subject for evening address: “Be not afraid, It is I.” R O R V £Jlf WANTED. A coffin to bury the Dead Sea. The saucer into which the cup of misery overflowed. A night-cap to fit the head of a river. The match which kindled the fire of love. A remedy to cure the deafness in the ears of corn. The broom with which the storm swept over the sea. + Miss Stacey—“What was Eve made for?” Hugo Spring—“For Adam’s Express Company.” + F. Lee—“I am getting very religious in Physics class.” Marg. G.—“Why? How’s that?” F. Lee—“I am always praying for the bell to ring before I get called on. + SENIOR PHILOSOPHY. There’s beauty in the thunder’s roll, And in the ocean’s roar; But I’d rather hear a ton of coal As it hits the cellar floor. + Miss Barnard—“What does an ‘alter ego’ mean?” G. McG.—“Other I.” “Give me a sentence.” G. McG.—“He winked his alter ego.” Gillam—“Where’s your brother?” Gladys H.—“Down learning to drill.” Gillam—“Going to be a soldier?” Gladys—“No, a dentist.” + Doctor—“How’s your breathing?” Patient—“Boyish.” Doctor—“How’s that?” Patient—“It comes in short pants.’ + W. Orr—“What does Ex. mean after a joke?” W. P.—“Why, Exchange, of course.” W. O.—“Oh! I thought it meant extinct.” + r o ii 9 1 Morley—“I was once out of sight of land on the Atlantic for twenty-one days, and on the Pacific for twenty-nine days.” Culver—“I once crossed the Saginaw river in a row boat and was out of sight of land before I got across.” Morley—“I’ll give you a half dollar to prove it.” Culver—“Gimme the money. The boat tipped over.” “Oh, yes,” said Smith, the lazy grumbler, “people always helps them as don’t need it. Why, there is lightning, it can get down to the ground fast enough and yet people put up rods for it to slide down on.” + Viola—“I thought prize-fighting was exciting.” Wesley—“It is.” Viola—“Well, I heard my brother talking of one in which one of the participants was soon put to sleep.” + Clifford—“What happens when you plant kisses?” Albert—“I don’t know; what?” Clifford—“Tu-lips come up.” + Whale meat is cheap and good to eat So let the prices roll; We’re going to raise our whales at home Right in the goldfish bowl. + A young man tried to flirt with a girl, saying, “Tee, hee, you know.” She called an officer and they were taken before Judge Friers. Friers—“Young man, what did you say to this lady?” H. Kaufmann—“Tee, hee, you know.” Friers—“No fooling now, what did you say?” H. Kaufmann—“Tee, hee, you know.” Friers—“Young lady, what did he say to you?” J. Truckner—“Tee, hee, you know.” Friers—“Thirty days for both.” J. Truckner—“What for?” Friers—“Tee, hee, you know.” + Weier—“I often wondered what those rams were they used in naval battles of the Civil War, but I found out today that they were the great-grandfathers of the German U-boats.” + A miss is as good as a mile. Man proposes — then woman imposes. A. U R OIZA. 9 i a A is for Arthur, who is head of the list, B is for Benson, she must not be missed.

H is for Hunter, exceedingly wise, At dancing, however, he sure takes a prize. I is for Irvin, a basketball star, He makes the baskets no matter how far. J is for Jerome, a musician rare, She and Dot Rice are a musical pair. K is for Kaufmann, Matilda, demure. She knows all her lessons, of that we are sure. L is for Littlejohns, not Robinhood’s man. But for the Class of Eighteen she does what she can. M is for the Marians, fair, winsome lassies, Spangler and Pearson, you know, won’t cut classes. N is for Norris, thin, fair and tall, Is always seen talking with girls in the hall. O is for Orr, a true friend to all, We’ll never forget her although she is small. P is for Plambeck, the man with a brain, With him as our president we cannot complain. Q is for Quentin, our manly boy scout. Though he is a senior, you would never find it out. R is for the Rolands, three in a row, Winston, Worden and Harris, you know. S is for Schmidt, whose fame will last Till the Class of Eighteen is a thing of the past. T is for Ted, Helen’s best friend, Everyone wonders how they will end. U are the Seniors so fine, To express your good qualities would take more than a line.

We are a class that never would shirk. Y is for Yaeger, our young debater. He’ll be most famous sooner or later. Z is for Zahnow, the only Z we could get, And she is last, but not least, in the Senior Alphabet. AU ROR i e i When is a brick a tile? When it is a projectile. + Bill—“Sir, your (laughter has promised to become my wife.” Mr. Wallace—“Well, don’t come to me for sympathy.

Can’t we talk our troubles over, Pity give and get it too? When we see the teacher coming Must we all skidoo? + Miss B. (studying Hamlet where it speaks of one person being closer to heaven than another)—“That means that he is taller than another person.” H. M. Olsen—“Oh, you angel, Abie.” --4OT- — E. Metz—“A little learning is a dangerous thing.” Marg. Metz— Gee! I must be ferocious.” + The other day an Irishman, Karl Schmidt, was gazing into the window of Ander son’s book store, and the following sign caught his eye: “Dicken’s Works all this week for only $4.00.” “The divil he does,” exclaimed Piggy in disgust, “The dirty scab.” + Mrs. 0.—“My child, your head is all perspiration.” Everett—“Yes, ma; my roof leaks.” + + A FINE MARKSMAN. The new watchman at the college had noticed Plambeck using the big telescope. Just then a star fell. “Begorra,” said the watchman, “that fella sure was a crack shot.” + “What is your greatest wish?” asked the romantic lady of youth of a young student who was about to take his final exam, in medicine. “My greatest wish,” said Miles, “is to put ‘Cr.’ before my own name and ‘Dr.’ after the names of other people.” + FROM A BOOK OF NEW QUOTATIONS. “Let me dream again.”—Norris. “A youth who has arrived at such a pitch of self-esteem that he never mentions himself without taking off his hat.”—A. Plambeck. “I’m broke again.”—A1 Schirmer. “I’ve flunked again.”—A. Fish. “I’m in again.”—B. Bentley. + A Physics definition: The conduct of a pupil varies inversely as the square of the distance between the pupil and instructor. + Mrs. Fish—“Albert, I should think you would be ashamed of yourself, being in the same class with all those little boys.” Albert—“Well, mother, I look at it in an entirely different manner. It makes me happy to see how proud the little boys are to be in the same class with a big boy like me.” R O Rv . i e i Most people do not think their own thoughts. They simply think what they think other people think they ought to think. + Waiter (Dean)—“Will you have pie, sir?” Customer—“Is it compulsory?” Dean—“No, it’s raspberry.” + Little Girl—“She’s me oldest sister.” Young Man—“And who comes after her?” L.

At last “Mrs. Wilbur, I would give that boy a good spanking.” “But one shouldn’t spank a child on a full stomach,” answered his kind mother “But you can easily turn him over.” + Old lady, coming upon a street fight—“Oh, my! Can you tell me what’s goinp on over there?” Hunter—“Oh, nuffink, mam; only that bloke what runs the steam roller wants us to call him a chauffeur.” + A khaki clad recruit applied to the regimental veterinarian for a prescription for his mount. A little later he returned to the doctor’s office with his face as pale as death. “Oh! doctor,” he exclaimed, “the powder’s nearly killed me!” “The powder,” exclaimed the doctor. “Didn’t I tell you to put it in a tube and put the other end in the horse’s mouth and blow hard?” “Yes, but the bloomin’ horse blowed harder than I could.” + H. Waddell—“I sleep like a log.” Other H. Waddell—“W’ith a saw going through it.” + Auntie—“Well, Rexford, what did you learn in school today?” Rex Emery—“How to whisper without moving the lips.” + Bill Norris (in jeweler’s)—“Hee, hee! Ah, hummmm—” Jeweler—“Bring me that tray of engagement rings.” + Mary had a little cold, It started in her head; And every place that Mary went That cold was sure to spread. It followed her to school one day; ’Twas not against the rule. It made the children cough and sneeze To have that cold in school. The teacher tried to drive it out, She tried hard, but — kachoo ! It didn’t do a bit of good, The teacher caught it, too.
