To do so, we think that the best ability of the class has been utilized in preparing the different articles for this book. We feel, as this Aurora goes to press, that we have stumbled in our efforts. You, no doubt, will censor our work, but reserving one’s judg- ment helps wonderfully those who have at- tempted this publication. The Class hereby offers The Aurora of Nineteen Twenty as its last contribution to Saginaw High School.

We are gathered here today for the last time. Some of us will continue in our scholastic training, hut for many this completes the preparation for life’s battle which we all shall meet sooner or later. What we shall accom- plish depends upon ourselves. Hitherto our course has been guided by our teachers. Exceedingly wise guidance it has been and we feel sincerely grate- ful to them. We must soon go on under our own initiative. The man or woman who comes out victorious — and there is no reason why anyone should not — will be the one who works hard and long. We have spent four years in High School. Let us apply the principles we have learned and use them to help us on in life’s contest.. Our country has just finished the prosecution of a mighty war. It is now the chaotic period of reconstruction. For this enormous task America needs intelligent, clean-cut men and women. It is the youth of today, the citizens of tomorrow, that she is looking to. Her hope is not misplaced. Cheerfully and manfully we should take up the burden and achieve success and glory for our country and our school. We look back upon the past four years with sincere regret that it must end, hut the clarion call of the future finds us ready and eager. ERNEST M. KUNKEL.

The memory of the past will stay And half our joys renew.” In memory we live again the pleasant and pleasing experiences of the past. Old times, old friends, past victories, fought and won, return to us in memory. Soon we are to hid farewell to the associations and the friendships of the last four years. Soon these, too, will be but memories. Our hearts are heavy as we think of leaving. These two buildings of brick and mortar have become suddenly dear to us. They have been the scene of many a pleasure amid our numerous tasks. As we look back, it seems hut yesterday that we entered upon our school career as Freshmen. Then we stood in awe of the mighty Senior, so soon to take up his work of life. Now, all this is changed. Now, we envy the verdant Freshman who has so much to look forward to and we desire to trace once more with him the paths of learning. This does not come from any sense of failure. On the contrary our Class has done much to make her justly proud. I pon the athletic field and in the gymnasium its members have borne an honorable part and have done their utmost to uphold Saginaw’s prestige and maintain her reputation for clean sportsmanship. In a business sense we have undertaken larger tasks than any previous class and have achieved success, even beyond our hope. I he excellence of the Aurora speaks for itself. Despite a serious handicap, du to insufficient time for preparation, this year’s edition is complete in all its departments. I he financial end was very successfully met, even in the face of an increased cost of production over that of last year of nearly fifty per cent, flic second venture, the Senior Class Play, succeeded to a remarkable extent. Through a systematic f 45 1 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 organization and a unified effort on the part of the Class, the Auditorium was filled to capacity on the evening of its presentation. With the proceeds from this play, the class decided to lay the foundation of a large scholarship, in accordance with the suggestion of the President of the Alumni Association. This scholarship fund, growing by the aid of the Alumni and future classes, will aim to provide eventually the cost of a higher education for some worthy member of each graduating class. Our prowess on the athletic field and in the systematic management of our business affairs has not been maintained at the expense of class room work. We point with pride to our scholastic record. Many of our members have kept up constantly each semester an average mark of “G” or better in every subject for the period of our sojourn here in High School. It is with sincere regret that we part with our teachers. Association with with them, both in and outside the classroom, has made us respect them highly. We now appreciate fully the untiring efforts which they have put forth in our behalf. We now realize their patience, for if we were sometimes provoked at them, how much more had they reason to be provoked at us? it is largely to their guidance that we owe our thorough preparation. They have groomed and trained us for the race and now we are “set” on the mark, ready for the start in the Race of Life. The preparation completed, our success depends upon ourselves. We prize highly the friendship of these teachers and tlie memory of them will he one of the most pleasant pages in the chapter of School Days in our Book on Memory. Members of the Faculty: It is with the deepest sincerity in recognition of your worth and assistance, in appreciation of the benefits of your friendship and our association with you, that we bid you farewell. Fellow Students: In recognition of a close fellowship with you in school affairs, where Senior and Sophomore, Junior and Freshman met on common ground, and in remembrance of a comradeship in many happy experiences, we say a heart-felt adieu. Classmates: The ties that bind us together as a corporate body are about to be dissolved. As Class Valedictorian, I bring to each and every one of you the fond farewell of your fellow classmates. WESLEY COOK. ( 46 J FRESHMAN, 1916-17 IN THE year of 1916, We, the Class of 1920, entered the Saginaw High School, rather tardy, however, due to the infantile paralysis epidemic which was in the city. After we had become thoroughly established with programs and could find the various rooms in less than five minutes, we held a class meeting and elected the following officers: President — Donald Wallace Vice-President — Florence Van Auken Secretary — Wilbur Dunkel Treasurer — Gladys Huss A little later we held our first party as a class, which was called the Fresh- man Frolic, and was given in the gymnasium of the Manual Training building. We passed tremblingly by a reception committee composed of our President and Vice-President and members of the Faculty. Our names were pinned upon us! We were highly entertained by recitations of James Whitcomb Riley’s poems for Children, which were very appropriate for children of our tender age. This party succeeded in making us feel more acquainted with each other. It was in April of our Freshman year that the United States entered the orld War, and due to the patriotic spirit that invaded the country our class decided that instead of leaving a picture to the Manual Training building — as has been done in previous years — we would leave an American flag in memory of our class. One spring day, we were very much excited when we were informed that we were to have our picture taken for the Aurora, but oh! the expression on our faces when we saw that picture. We found out then that Mr. White had taken a bird’s-eye view of the class and only those lucky ones who remembered where they stood could find themselves. [47] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 SOPHOMORE, 1917-18 The summer vacation passed very quickly and we came back to school, and, with the exception of a few who had quit and a few more who seemed to prefer the Freshman session room, we were now Sophomores. In this year the officers elected were: President — Edward Weadock Vice-President — Marion MacArthur Secretary — Clarence Haas Treasurer — Frances Callam In the spring of 1918, we gave the Sophomore Spread, which proved to be a success with “dancing, eats ’n’everytliing.” It hardly seemed possible in June that we had passed through another year of our High School career and that but two years remained before we would be graduated. JUNIOR, 1918-19 In our Junior year we lost much time on account of the influenza, which caused the closing of our school, but we managed to survive, as we had formerly. Our officers were: President — John Slack Vice-President — Alice Freeman Secretary — Eleanor Groom Treasurer-—Robert Powell The days flew swiftly to the time when our Junior Play was given. Dancing was enjoyed after the play, which was “She Knows Better Now, star- ring Natalie Spencer and Ernest Kunkel. Th ree years had passed and we would soon be a privileged class of Seniors and could look down on the rest of the lower classes as Seniors of previous classes had looked down on us. SENIOR, 1919-20 We first realized our position when, at our first Chapel, we were seated in the balcony. We appeared to be very much more particular over our class officers this year, but we finally decided on the following officers: [ 4S ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 President — Ernest Kunkel Vice-President — Mildred Cushway Secretary — Olin Clark Treasurer — Ruth King Marshal — Carl Knaebel These officers immediately took up their duties, which were very numerous. This year again proved to be broken up by the “flu,” aud we were out from Thanksgiving until New Year’s. Immediately upon our return, rehear- sals for the Senior Play were started, as it was decided that the Senior Play would be earlier this year on account of the Aurora work. Another change decided upon was that it should be given in the Auditorium, which was a big proposition — but we felt capable of it. We adopted the suggestion of Mr. Gorman, that the profits this year would start the Alumni Scholarship fund and that the Senior Play would be an annual event of this kind. The play proved to be a huge success and we were very much surprised and pleased to find that the profits nearly reached the one thousand mark. As we had succeeded in this, we decided to take upon ourselves the re- sponsibility of making the Aurora of our class as pretentious as that of former years, although the expense would be greatly increased. We are filled with the excitement and flurry of ordering cards, announce- ments, pictures, etc., hut are not so sure of being so happy over leaving school as we thought we should be when younger. We appreciate immensely the help and enjoyment the Saginaw High School has been to us and hope that many more in the future may have the privilege that we have had. MARGARET W. REEDER. [ 49 ] PAST PRESIDENTS [ 50 1 ERNEST KUNKEL EDWARD WE A DOCK JOHN SLACK DONALD WALLACE To the Class of Nineteen Twenty A FEW short years ago, a band of Freshies came; To graduate in Twenty was their highest aim. They wished to join the ranks of students hold, and stay Until the time arrived to end their work and play. And thus began the very best of classes yet, The class that all respect and never will forget. At first we frolicked ’round, as all good Freshmen do; That year we had to cram for fearful mid-years, too. Hut then we settled down and ceased to fall down-stairs. For we were next to take upon ourselves the airs Which little Soph'mores, wise and proud, will e’er assume. The happy, carefree days that year passed all too soon. The third year found us Juniors, somewhat scornful, too: We felt above the rest and there was nothing new. That winter brought the “Flu” to help delay our work. Hut, going back to school, we found no place to shirk. At length we made Hoorn Seven, and since we’ve always striven To leave to under-grades the best ideals yet given. Hut now the end draws near; we’ve triumphed over all, And soon our class must waken to hear the World’s great call. As men and women wise, we'll look back o’er the past And say those joyful days in school flew by too fast. Our honors have been great, and friends have all been true; So let’s unite to cheer old Twenty: We’re proud of you ! EDNA WONDERLIC. f 51 | LISTEN, my children, and you shall hear of an aeroplane ride of character queer on the thirteenth of June in ’25. Hardly a classmate is now alive whose future we could not see. “Frankie, my lad,” said Wes that day, “Let’s take a trip to a planet, what say?” “Bully, old top; let’s try grim Mars.” So away we sped to heat the cars, in our little old Ford aeroplane. When we got there how strange to behold the intensified air surrounding the globe. As viewed through our microscopical lens the future did show 11s of ten years hence and so we will tell it to you. Of all the strange things known under the sun! killen a full-fledged lawyer become. And Kunkel! can you imagine that hoy a chain of drug stores has in his employ to pass away the time. Little Ruth King, who worked so hard in Senior Play days, is a noted hard. Olin Clark, a remarkably famed “bird,” has for his assistant. Miss Peggy Packard, in his wonderful spider researches. Young Doc Hudson, of practice wide- spread, cures had cases, so it is said. And Y itherell and Shea, nurses demure, together with Fried, you may be sure, cheer bedridden souls at Mayo’s. Eymer, we saw that memorable day, married, you know, to a fellow named Ray. Isa- belle Cowie and Zana Dean are business successes, so it would seem, in no less a place than Merrill. Kenneth, the boy with lovable eyes, breaks the speed records whenever he tries; while Zahner, a farmer of no small rep, employs Rowena and Moore and Streb as bosses on his plantation. Chester, the man of Class Play fame, has great success in the very same game, with Groom in the opposite role; while Leitzow and Haas help them with music to charm the soul. Strange it may seem, hut yet it is true, that Liebermann heads an army of two. And next we found, in old Japan, Weadock fighting for the rights of man, which seem to he extinct. Then on Chicago we turned our view, where we found Sis [ 52 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Prall posing a few; Anne Roberts and Olson follow this school and have won success on their merit, too, at the Chicago School of Art. Scotchie and Sadie are leading the steps in the four hundred of New York’s depths, where also we saw the sisters Sloan traveling at a gait before never known, astonishing all the world. Flobie Van Auken is dressed to kill; Leutritz and Large are intro- ducing a bill; Marion MacArthur is reporting the news; Arnold Zuelcli is raising the deuce, all in the Capitol at Washington. Carl Knaebel an engineer is, and take it from me, he knows his “biz.” Kondal and Mickey pursue the same line; like Jack on the bean stalk, they’re sure on the climb in a way that means suc- cess. Tiny Ruth Hedrick’s a humorist queer, delights all the crowds she tries to cheer. Ruffier, Maxine, is an accomplished reporter. Wilber and Wood make life the shorter by extracting teeth. Irish Grabowski, a baker of note; Fleischman, the short man, commanding a boat. Popular stories Helen Andre writes; while Isabel Mercer bravely fights for the tennis championships. A master mechanic is Lawrence Corlett; and Shorty Clare Friers may a druggist be yet. Thelma Crimmins and Marie Blake are living a wonderful home life for the sake of their dear husbands. Poet of poets is that Wonderlic girl, in the cycles of Detroit she sure makes a whirl. Strachan and Schroeder are business successes; while Penoyar and Reeder great talent possess in “comical” opera. Natalie Spencer, who has had no foes, has long been married to — who do you suppose? Tiny Ruth Lynd has achieved such renown that her name is known in every town for her wonderfully fetching eyes. Blanchie Kynast has returned from abroad where, as detective, she discovered much fraud. Gladys Allen and Elizabeth Miller in a Wall Street office are each a pillar to Acosta, the great financier. Dorothy Wilson and Bertha Vine as High School teachers are exceedingly fine. Callam and Johnson have become fast friends, and really the money that each one spends flatters their hubbys’ wallets. Mildred Cush- way, the athletic star, with Stella, tours in a high-powered car. Frances Ner- reter and Isabelle Crabbe have won a place in a chemical lab. surpassed by none. Russel Roberts, the wireless shark, is wireless chief on “Noseark;” while Rol- lioff, the boy with the brawny arm, as policeman is keeping the kidlets from harm; and neither cares for fighting. Edmund Brown, the pompadour kid, as a shoe salesman is never “outdid.” Buchele and Bornheimer are fashion models; while Minnie and Naomi are teaching “twaddle” in kindergarten circles. Gold- stein and Cates for beauty are famed, in each evening paper you see them named. Young Piggy Schmidt, a political boss, assists Bert Heineman without the loss of a single election. Bartlett and Pohlmann and Bernice Mahn each in Con- t 53 I 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 gress does the best she can. Quaint Ruth Alber as editor-in- chief is quite a success, in our belief, in managing “Life.” McSmith and Maier make a fine team, are beads of mines, so it does seem. Mary Oakes and the Sharpe girls form a concern for manufacturing curls. Robert Pierce and Niedbalski, the great, teach Bolsheviks, in Russia’s state. Marie Volz and Edelhoff, Helen, with Mary Smith are successfully selling real estate in Mexico City. Mildred Stranahan and Miriam Marks as college pro- fessorettes surely are “sharks.” And now, to avoid the frowns of spinsters, we’ll next introduce a couple good ministers, Lantz and Fischer, F. O. B. and C. (). D. Reddy Doris Skimin, of missionary fame, is now in China healing the lame. Budd McCormick and Alice Freeman have won renown for what they have done in historical research. Lillian Dietrich and Isabelle MacGregor for two Western towns make mighty fine mayors. Goldie Lucas, appearing on the screen, and Gross and Kerr also may be seen at all good picture houses. Miles Allen runs an auto garage and is reported to have a moderate charge. Isabel Chandler in a millinery shop and Sutherland, Helen, have put a stop to all their competitors. We folded our scope and home we sped and landed on earth like a ton of lead. And thus, dear readers, you may see how Whitney and Cook Did “proph” this “book.” [ 54 ] [66 J 920 CLASS SONG.

Article 1. We repose with our beloved and highly respected Faculty, our heartiest thanks and appreciation for their efforts in directing our High School education. Shortly they will record the official epitaph of the Class of 1920. May they at that time have no thought that we are ungrateful for all their efforts. Article II. We give and bequeath towards the Saginaw High School Twenty-five Thousand Dollar ($25,000) Scholarship Fund, the sum of One Thousand (.$1,000) Dollars, or such sum as shall be left over after all our just debts and expenses shall have been paid, to enable some student or students to continue tbeir education in some higher institution of learning. Article III. We give and bequeath unto the Junior Class, the old and time-honored Class Horn upon which our Class Colors shall be attached. We trust that they will cherish their heirloom in a manner befitting its station. This Horn is a priceless treasure and we beg them to keep it always bright and clean so that its clarion call may ever ring out clear and loud. Article IV. We give and bequeath unto the aforementioned class the privilege of giving one performance of the annual Senior Play at the Audi- torium, thereby making it a Community Play devoted to a definite purpose, and we pray that they will maintain as fully as is possible for them the high standard set by the Class of 1920. Article V. We direct that the aforementioned class assume the duty of further increasing the Scholarship Fund. It is our earnest desire that they take up and carry on the efforts first started by the Class of 1920. Article T. We ask that the Class of 1921, who shall next year be Seniors and therefore leaders of the school, may establish a feeling of finer respect for, and cooperation with, the Faculty. We pray that the lower classes may follow their good example. [ 58 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Article VII. To the Classes of 1921, 1922, and 1923, we leave all the rights and privileges enjoyed by their immediate predecessors. To the Class of 1921, we leave the right to make the long and perilous climb to our Chapel seats. The position of these seats will enable many an aspiring astronomer to profit- ably spend forty minutes in the discovery of new planets or satellites. To the Class of 1922, we give the right to wander about the ruins of the ancient seats at the back part of the lower Chapel floor. To them we bequeath also the right to give the Annual Junior Play. To the Class of 1923, we give the right to wander about the ruins of the ancient and dilapidated seats at the front part of the lower Chapel floor. We beg of them not to gaze too reverently at the speakers on the platform, as it may cause embarrassment to some aspiring orator. To the Class of 1923, we also leave the right to delve into the mysteries of preparing the world-renowned Sophomore Spread. Article VIII. To the members of the Eighth Grades throughout the city who are laboring incessantly to become Freshmen of the Class of 1924, we leave the right to the lockers and upper hall session rooms of the New Building. To them also we leave the privilege of giving the Annual Freshman Frolic, to the performance of which they look forward with such longing. Article IX. To the Student Body of the Saginaw High School, we leave the spirit of good fellowship which we have endeavored to create. The Re- sponsibility of Athletic Supremacy by ever greater personal effort and clean competition is now theirs and we pray that they creditably hear it. Article X. To the Student Body of S. H. S. we leave the development of a finer spirit of democracy throughout the school. It is our earnest desire that snobbery and class lines be abolished and that the selection of class officers and representatives he made as a reward for actual fitness. Article XI. Finally we leave to the aforementioned classes the traditions of the Saginaw High School and hope that they may be held dear to every member of the aforementioned institution. It shall be the duty of these classes to maintain the respect and dignity connected with this school. Article XII. We hereby appoint the Class of 1921 executors of this our last Will and Testament. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal, this twentieth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty. f 59 ] 19 2 0 A U R 0 R A 19 2 0 The above instrument, consisting of two sheets, was at the date thereof signed, sealed, published and declared by the said testator as and for its last Will and Testament, in the presence of us, who at its request, in its presence and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as wit- nesses thereto.

I 60 ) - THE social events of the Class of 1920 began when Miss Barnard gave her consent to our Freshman Frolic (we were children yet and had to play). We were received by Superintendent E. C. Warriner and Mrs. Warriner, Principal and Mrs. W. W. Warner, Miss Barnard, Miss Wilson and our class president, Donald Wallace. Our program consisted of poems and stories of James Whitcomb Riley, given by E. C. Warriner, Robert Powell, Marion Otis, Walter Tewell and others. After these enjoyable selections, dancing was en- joyed until time to retire. When we were Sophomores, we showed our patriotism by giving a War- time Spread. The gym was beautifully decorated with our class colors of blue and gold and flags, and the program consisted of an old “Family Album.” The members of the class searched the trunks for the clothes of all our great-great- grandmothers, dressed up and stood in their frames while Edna Wonderlic read little poems about them. War-time luncheon was served in four relays. Among other attractions some mysterious person told our fortune (can you remember what she told you?), and A1 Fish displayed his talent as auctioneer. Dancing was enjoyed by all until eight o’clock. As Juniors, and also in keeping with our War-time measures, we gave our Junior Play and Junior Hop as one. “She Knows Better Now,” was the play we gave on May 9, 1919, at the Lincoln Club. 1 am sure you will all agree with me that it was one of the best events of our school year and everyone seemed to enjoy it. (Do you remember Frank Whitney last year as well as this year?) After the play, dancing was enjoyed until twelve o’clock. It is customary every June to have a Junior-Senior outing. It was ar- ranged that a car should leave the Interurban station at ten o’clock and, baskets in hand, we would all enjoy the day at Wenona Beach. After taking a dip in the deep, trying everything that was there to be tried, and dancing until we could dance no more, we took the eleven o’clock car back to Saginaw and said that we certainly had had a day of it. [ 62 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 The Senior Play this year was our greatest triumph. “All of a Sudden Peggy” was given at the Auditorium, March 12. It was the first time that a Class Play has ever been given at the Auditorium, and you all know what a success it was. Dancing was enjoyed by everyone until twelve o’clock. For the past four years the Class of 1920 has taken an important part in the Lyceum, the Thencean, and Amphion parties that you have attended and we regret in a way to he leaving this pleasure so soon. June 20th, Monday Clearing Hour, is to be Class Day. Wesley Cook as valedictorian will give our farewell to Saginaw High. The Commencement exercises will take place at the Auditorium, Thurs- day, June 24, and we then join the ranks as Alumni. We have taken great pleasure in adding to the social events of Saginaw High School during the last four years. SYLVIA PRALL. [ 63 ] SENIOR PLAY CAST Arr u. THE Class of 1920 presented its Junior Play at the Lincoln Hall, May 8, 1919. The play chosen was “She Knows Better Now.” Mrs. Thompson, a young woman who loves society, has become dissatis- fied with married life. Her husband, Nicolas Thompson, is a very domineering man, who insists upon ruling his home, even to the selection of gowns and hats for the meek Mrs. Thompson. Finally, through the influence of her closest friend, Mrs. T. Gordon Sturdevant, she decides to break away from her hus- hand and take a trip abroad. There she meets a fraudulent count, Count Dela Noche Buena, who, knowing of her wealth and believing her a widow, feigns love for her and follows her about. Returning home, Mrs. Thompson smuggles jewels and gowns in past Customs officers. But in this she is detected. The Count soon visits her at her home to plead his love, and there Mrs. Thomp- son and the Count are confronted by Mr. Thompson, the ghost of the dear departed to the Count, but a dread reality to Mrs. Thompson. The play ends in a rush of events: the arrival of the Customs officers to arrest Mrs. Thomp- son, the ejection of the Count by Thompson, his indifference to the predica- ment of his wife, her determination to let the law take its course and, finally, the mutual surrender of both, in which each capitulates to the other, with the emotions of both characterized by the words of Mrs. Thompson, “Never again! Believe me!” THE CAST Mrs. Nicolas Thompson.................... Mr. Nicolas Thompson..................... Mrs. T. Gordon Sturdevant................ Mr. T. Gordon Sturdevant ................

It was a very great success and each one of the cast merited the highest praise for excellent work. The Senior Play of the Class of ’20 was presented at the Auditorium, March 12. 1920. The play chosen was Ernest Danney’s comedy-farce, “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy.” The action of the play is laid in the home of Lord Anthony Cracken- thorpe, an eccentric collector of spiders. He has invited the widow of an eminent authority, Mrs. O’Mara, to aid him in his work. With her comes her vivacious daughter Peggy. The family is much concerned over the obvious efforts of the mother to marry the daughter to Lord Anthony and to protect themselves in their haven of refuge; the mother. Lady Crackenthorpe, and her brother, Archie Phipps, plot to prevent any such match. To do this they enlist the aid of a younger brother of Lord Anthony’s, Jimmy Keppel, to dazzle Peggy and win her from him. Millicent, the sister of Anthony and Jimmy, is never a party to their schemes and is more inclined to see the fine side of Peggy’s disposition. Jimmy himself, only a passive subscriber to the plot, im- mediately throws it up when he sees Peggy, as he falls deeply in love with her. Peggy is aware of her mother’s intentions and plans to have her mother marry Lord Anthony instead. Knowing that he will not propose while she is about, and also that her mother will not marry until her daughter is married, pre- tending to want a plot for a novel she asks Jimmy’s advice, and he suggests a false report of marriage. This the impetuous girl acts upon. One week later Jimmy, returning to his flat in London, finds Peggy waiting for him. He is astounded to hear that she has been waiting for him all night and that the people at Hawkhurst think that they are married. Also that he is to blame, as it was his suggestion. Many funny incidents come up at different times dur- ing the course of the play, especially when Jack Menzies, Mrs. Colquhoun, Archie and Jimmy’s mother arrive to congratulate them or condemn the wed- ding. There seems to be no way out of the tangle in which Peggy’s disregard for convention has involved herself and Jimmy. She is consoled somewhat by a letter from her mother in which she is told of the engagement of Mrs. O’Mara to Lord Anthony. The culmination of the play is that Lady Cracken- [ 66 J 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 thorpe finds that she must put up with those “abominable people,” as Anthony, her older son, is about to marry the mother and Peggy has consented to marry Jimmy, even though she has fallen in love “All of a sudden.” THE CAST Lord Crackenthorpe ...........................

Through the influence of Mr. Hopkins we decided to give our play in Saginaw’s municipal Auditorium. With the formation of committees which included nearly every member of the class, we succeeded in putting on the best production of any class thus far. Financially it was an overwhelming success as we cleared within seven dollars of a thousand. It had been our intention to use the proceeds for a scholarship. However, the Alumni Association proposed the plan of forming a Gift Scholarship Fund of 825,000, the money to be raised by the proceeds of four events—a major football game in the fall, the Alumni Reunion, the Senior Class Play, and a function to be given in the early summer by the Alumni As- sociation. The scholarship, which will probably consist of fifteen hundred dollars, is to be awarded annually. The Senior Class voted unanimously to accept and enter into this plan. I he class hopes and believes that it has established a precedent which will he followed by oncoming Senior Classes. This will make a public function of the play of the graduation class by the use of the Auditorium; the creation of a definite scholarship, wherein each class develops a plan to enable willing students, possibly classmates, to continue their training and education. [ G7 ] ELINOR WITHEHELL. THE Baxter household was in a flurry of excitement. A telegram had just arrived from one of Mr. Baxter’s boyhood friends, saying that if all was convenient, he would stop and make them a visit of two or three days before he went on to the coast. It was signed by Jock Temple. “Well! Good for Jock,” said Mr. Baxter, as he slapped his knee delight- edly. “I never expected to see him up this way. Was it the 3:30 train he said he was coining on, daughter?” He turned and looked at a girl standing in the doorway. Pandria Baxter, or Pan, as the family and friends called her, was a slip of a girl with golden-brown hair and wide gray eyes. She was a true girl of the west and one might usually see her racing madly along some old Indian trail, high up in the mountains, on her sturdy little pony, or playing under great forest trees with her small brother, Ted. Her lips curved in a whimsical smile as she looked from the yellow slip of paper in her hand to her father. “I reckon he did, dad,” she answered him in a fresh young voice, “and you had better get ready directly if you are going to drive old Poke down to the station. It’s one o’clock now and you know it takes over an hour for Poky to reach the village.” “I’ve laid your clean linen out on your bed, Tom,” said a sweet-faced old lady, as she entered the room. This was Mr. Baxter’s elderly sister, who had come to care for his children and house after the death of his wife. “Thank you, Prudence, I believe I'll take Pan’s advice and dress now.” The big man strode across the room, pinched Pan’s cheek as he passed her, and was just opening the door of his bedroom when a small voice piped man- fully out, “Say, dad! I’ve decided to go with you, hut I’m all ready, so I'll go out and drive Poke around to the house.” Mr. Baxter smiled gravely at his serious young son, who had the dark, wavy hair and large brown eyes of his mother. “All right, old man,” he said, as he stepped inside his room, “but I bet I’ll be ready first.” Then he slammed the door shut and muffled sounds began to issue from the bed-room. Simultaneously Ted rushed stableward determined to win “dad’s bet. [ 68 1 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 “But Auntie Prue,” sighed Pan, as the two were left alone, “what shall I do? You know Betty asked me to come over there this afternoon to meet her cousin.” Auntie Prue smiled tenderly at the troubled young face as she said. You can do just as you like, Pan dear. The house is quite ready, as it was cleaned just yesterday and I'll give cook his orders directly.” Pan looked thoughtfully at the riotous bloom of color in the beautiful garden. Then she gave a toss of her curly head and ran over and kissed her aunt lightly on the cheek. “You dear,” she cried softly. “1 knew you would say something like that. But I’m going to stay right here and help welcome dad’s friend. Now you go and rest for a while and I’ll give the orders and get some fresh flowers — then I’ll get rested and dressed, too,” she added quickly, as she pushed her aunt gently towards the great staircase. Auntie Prue had no choice but to obey this very determined young niece, and so, after giving Pan the cook’s orders, she slowly mounted the broad stairway. When Pan heard Auntie Prue’s door close, she grabbed her garden hat from a chair in which she had carelessly thrown it, and ran quickly out to the cook’s domain, the kitchen. Here she paused only long enough to give Chong Lee his orders and away she went to the garden. As she crossed the driveway she saw Ted vigorously assuring Poke that he wanted him to draw the cart to the house. Just as Poke laboriously reached the front of the house her father ran out of the door, shouting loudly to Ted. However, he stopped suddenly with a comical look of dismay on his glowing face, while Ted had the laugh on him, for he had won “dad’s bet.” Then Mr. Baxter climbed into the cart and the two started slowly down the little road that twisted like a white ribbon down the mountain-side. I called the Baxter home a cabin in one of those last sentences, didn’t I? Well — and so it was, a beautiful ivy-covered, log cabin with lovely big lawns and gardens. Mr. Baxter was a naturalist. Soon after his marriage he had brought his young wife to the cabin for her health and, incidentally, to work out some experiments and theories of his. They had lived there for eight years, very happy in their beautiful mountain home and glorying in their two wonderful children, Pandria and Theodore. But during the eighth year Mrs. Baxter’s frail health gave way and her husband was left almost crazed with grief and with the two small children to care for. Then his sister had come r 6� i 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 and, with her sweet, gentle ways and swift passing of time, happiness and order had returned to the ivy-covered cahin. Pan took her time gathering the flowers, as she loved to wander through the riotous bloom and sweet perfume of the garden. Finally, with her arms full of wonderful blossoms, she made her way to the cabin, and in a short time the large, airy rooms were veritable gardens in themselves. As Mr. Jock Temple rode up the shady mountain road with Mr. Baxter and Ted, he could well understand why “Tom” had shut himself away in this delightful retreat, with its great arching trees and deep solitudes. They were nearing the house when Ted cried out quickly in an excited voice, “Listen! The Pipes o’ Pan!” Mr. Temple heard it at the same instant. It was a curious lilting and piping sound, now low, soft and throaty, now suddenly reaching a high sweet note, and now running liquidly back to the soft tone again. Jock Temple was plainly disconcerted. The sound at one time would seem like a human voice, lilting some beautiful melody, and then suddenly it would change to the sweet trilling and piping of a bird. He turned puz- zled and questioning eyes toward the man and boy beside him. Ted was almost falling out of the seat, as he listened with shining eyes and eager ears. Tom had leaned back against the cart with a dreamy and exalted look upon his face, but as Jock turned toward him he seemed to hear his unspoken question and, without turning around, he said, “It is Pan, my daughter, singing. She loves to go into the forest and sing with the birds, as she says. Ted has just read Peter Pan and that is where he gets his fanciful name for her.” They had reached the cabin by this time and, as they drew up in front of the large veranda with its deep, comfortable chairs and flower-decked tables. Auntie Prue came rustling out of the house to welcome Tom’s friend with true Western hospitality. Pan also hurried out presently, apologizing for not having been there to greet them on their arrival. When Jock had refreshed himself after his dusty and tiresome journey, a dainty little supper was served and then they all went out on the veranda to enjoy the cool evening breezes. As they sat there in the fragrant twilight. Pan began to hum a quaint darkey song and Jock held his breath at the haunt- ing sweetness of her voice. The birds began to call sleepily to their mates and, intermittent with her song. Pan answered them in liquid notes. Now Jock Temple was no mean music critic and, at last, unable to wait longer, he blurted out, “Pan, dear child, you should not hide your light under ( 70 j 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 a bushel in this way.” Then turning to her father, “Tom, let me take her back to the city and gladden the world-weary hearts there with her dear, little songs,” he pleaded. Tom’s face grew white at the thought of letting Pan go so far away from him. He gazed out over the twinkling lights of the valley to the dark out- line of the opposite mountain and, as he looked, he seemed to see a beautiful girlish face with large, wistful brown eyes, very much like the pictured one in the silver frame on his desk. An insistent voice seemed to whisper in his ear and the other people saw him shake his head and murmur softly, “No, dear, I won’t stand in the way of her or other people’s happiness.” Then he turned to Jock and told him he would give his answer in the morning. The next morning an impatient Jock and a luminous-eyed Pan waited ex- pectantly for Tom to appear from his room. But Pan, who happened to glance out of the window, saw him swinging rapidly down a mountain trail toward the house. They rushed out to meet him as he came striding across the lawn, and, with a peaceful light on his tired face, he told them that Pan could go. “But,” he added with a smile,” you’ve got to have the family with you, too, because we don’t intend to let Pan leave us entirely.” So Pan went and sung and conquered, hut, even in her glorious conquest of the “world-weary hearts” she never forgot her mountain home. Every sum- mer the Baxter family would return and for at least six weeks would again live in their “delightful retreat with the arching trees and deep solitudes” of the mountain. ESTHER PACKARD. [ 71 ] OTWOTWOTOTWWWOTWOTWWOT WWOTOTOTWWWWWWWWWWOT THE road into Pittsburg was a much traveled one and foot passengers as well as those in vehicles traversed its dusty way, so that the sight of two strong, handsome, young men, walking down this road caused no com- ment. If there was anything said at all, it concerned the fine appearance they made. When their journey was almost at an end, they sat down by the roadside to rest. A buggy passed containing a young lady. Her apparel betokened wealth, and as she passed she glanced coquettishlv at the men, over her shoulder, and invited further flirtation. The younger of the two men, David Monohan, broke the silence. “John,” he said disgustedly, and John Russel looked up in surprise, “That fine young lady would like to talk with us. I hope no daughter of mine ever acts like that. 1 want to have a refined, lady-like girl, one to be proud of.” “No,” agreed John. “Neither would I. But somehow, I never lean toward a daughter. I rather like a son better.” “Perhaps some day your son will marry my daughter.” David spoke jok- ingly. “Come on, let’s go, or it will soon be dark.” The two arose and walked the rest ol the way. David Monohan was a writer, hut w hen his bosom companion suggested going into Pittsburg to work he followed suit. He had no dreams of wealth like John, his two only hopes were that some day he might write a book and have happiness. David Monohan sat in his study, slowly reading a letter. When he had finished he read it over again. It was from his old friend, John Russel. I hey had separated after five years and for nearly twenty years had not been to- gether. Twenty-year-old Madge Monohan wras away at school, while John Russel. Jr., had finished eollege and was working in his father’s mill learning the business thoroughly. Both John Russel and David Monohan had prospered and this letter recalled their hard struggles. He re-read one paragraph: “Do you remember, Dave, the talk we had about your daughter marrying mv son? Well, so far we have both hail our wishes, and 1 believe you will agree with me when I hope the rest will come out the way wre had planned. I 73 | ] 9 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 My boy has been working hard lately and I am going to send him to your city for a visit. I wish he and Madge would be thrown together a hit. Understand, Dave, I am not forcing this match, but if they fall in love what can we do? If not — well, that remains to be seen.” Ibis part of the letter attracted David’s attention and from his smiles it was evident that he fully agreed with the writer. Madge Monohan was a leader among her schoolmates. It was verv easy to recognize her, and the sunny-tempered girl was as free from snobbishness as is seldom seen. She was a pretty girl, and reminded her father of his dead w ife, with her dark hair, deep blue eyes and fair skin. A crowd had gathered in Madge’s room and as girls will talk, the conversa- tion had turned to men. Madge’s views were decided. “The man I marry will not he introduced to me in a commonplace manner. I must have a romantic marriage. Romance is the foundation of true love affairs. No slow things for me. Elopements are more my style.” s “Why, Madge, that sounds exactly like one of your father’s hooks.” The girls were awed by Madge’s impetuous statement. “Well, it may,” she hesitated. “But I am going home in two weeks and when you hear from me again I will he further advanced on my career.” Simultaneous with the arrival of Madge at her home was the arrival of Jack Russel in her city for his visit. Mr. Monohan met him at the train and Jack immediately excused himself on the plea of having a college friend in a neigh- boring town, lie promised, however, a return in a fewr days. David Monohan was disappointed but, putting on the best face possible under the circumstances, went home. Madge noticed his abstraction at lunch and with daughterly anxiety for his health inquired the cause and, when he hesitated, insisted on knowing. “Well, Madge, if you must find out,” her father smiled across the table. How much like her mother the girl looked and how he wTas going to miss her when young Russel carried her off — but that reminded him of what he was saying. “I had a great disappointment this morning. My old friend, John Russel, has a son and he was coming here for a visit. I went to meet him this morning, but it seems he has to pay a visit to a college chum. I had hoped to have him here to meet you this noon.” “Oh!” Madge was silent a few moments. “Father, what was that story you used to tell me about you and a Mr. Russel, when you met some girl?” I 74 1 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 “That old tale?” Her father was caught off his guard. “Why John and I agreed to have his son marry my — what am I saying?” He realized his mis- take and glanced suspiciously at his daughter, but she was eating and ap- parently had not noticed his break. “Oh, yes, I remember the story now. When did you find out Jack was coming?” Madge looked keenly at her father as he answered. “Why, John, his father, wrote me the other day and reminded me of the old agreement — 1 mean about visiting, and he was sending Jack in his place. He will visit us in a few days.” “I see. And how long did you say he was going to stay?” Madge arose and walked about the room investigating the windows and corners and poking around with her fingers. “I am not quite sure. It all depends on how things turn out. 1 mean how long he stays at his friend’s. About a week, 1 should say. Well, my dear, I must he getting to work.” “Yes, and so must I. This house has been shamefully neglected while I was away. I forsee two weeks of good house-cleaning. It’s lucky Jack Russel isn’t to stay here, and that I won’t have to be bothered with entertainment, because I shall be busy every minute.” “Oh, hut Madge, I-I — I had rather hoped that he — I thought you would — I — you really don’t have to do this work. You know there are women who do this very thing.” Her father looked at her hopefully, but his spirits were dampened by her prompt reply. “Why, father, you always said I must understand housework, and all these months I have been patiently waiting for a chance to get at this house. No, I think I shall begin at once!” Mr. Monohan went to his study, very angry at himself and amused at Madge. The girl was clever and a chip of the old block. He chuckled to him- self as he thought of how she had evaded all his remarks and had set her mind against meeting Jack Russel. Then he grew silent again. He had set his heart on that marriage, and while he did not mean to force the girl to marry against her will it w'as the most natural thing in the world for the two young people to fall in love with each other if they were thrown together. Finally he gave up planning and began his work. Left to herself, Madge laughed merrily at her father’s dismay and began to work. When she had fussed about the house for about an hour, the work began to pall on her and the beautiful sunshine was as a magnet drawing steel. [ 75 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Madge could never resist the outdoors and she soon left the self-imposed tasks and went outside. rI he beautiful grounds of the Monohan home were at their best during this period of the year, and -Madge reveled in the beauty of the scenery. The wind blowing her hair about reminded her of the two cars standing unused in the garage and within five minutes she had taken the roadster and was speed- ing down the long, smooth road. The five-mile sign was passed before she knew it, and she drove on and on, until a sharp report broke the silence and Madge ruefully got out and contemplated the flat tire. There was no one to fix it for her, so she got busy, and in ten minutes she was putting the tools away again, preparatory to going home, when a large touring car with three people in it, slowed down beside Madge and, looking up, she recognized Daisy Earl, one of her schoolmates and her brother, but the third member of the party, a dark, handsome, young man, was a stranger to her. “Need any help, Madge?” inquired Bob Earl, starting to get out of his car. “No, no. Bob,” protested Madge, “I am all right now. It’s all fixed, and I am going back home. Please don’t get out.” “Well, if you are sure it is all right, I won’t because we are in a hurry. But really are you sure? Boh was anxious. Madge, with her hair blowing about her face, her sleeves rolled up above her elbows and a streak of black across her cheek was adorable, and he had a sudden heart attack. “Yes, I am perfectly sure. Bob. See, I am going now. Come and see me some time, all of you.” Madge started her car and with good-byes on both sides, drove away. Madge drove slowly. It was much safer and, besides, she wanted to think. W ho was the young man with the Earls? Daisy hadn’t mentioned any visitor, and she was sure she knew all their friends, having lived close to them all her life. But, come to think of it, there was one she didn’t know. It must have been Howard Lee. And knowing who he was, Madge promptly forgot the episode, dismissing it from her mind with the comment that there was nothing romantic about it. When Madge left the Earl car, the stranger turned to Daisy. “Who was that wonderful looking jdrl? She certainly' was a beauty.” “Well,” said Daisy dryly, “if you call the way she looked beautiful, you should see her dressed up and with a clean face. Men are the limit! Here I am all dolled up and you don’t even tell me how sweet I look —” “Oh, I say, Daisy, you look like an angel, but who was she?” t 76 j AURORA 19 2 0 19 2 0 “That was Madge Monohan, the writer’s daughter, you know lie—” “I should say 1 do know! Why that’s the very girl I)ad was so anxious to shove me off to and I kicked like a young colt. 1 even rushed off to your place to avoid visiting the Monohans. What a fool I have been,” he concluded bit- terlv. “But,” brightening, “I can still meet her. She doesn’t know me, and I'll wager you a dozen boxes of candy, Daisy, she’ll he mine yet. Why, her father and mine are old pals, and there is nothing they’d like better than a marriage between Madge and I. Oh, it’s all so easy.” “Calm yourself. Jack. You haven’t her yet, you know, and from what she says, I wouldn’t feel quite so sure if 1 were you.” And Daisy proceeded to tell him what Madge had said concerning romance. “Ah, there lies the thorn. But I must have her, and you’ll help me, won’t vou, Daisy?” Jack turned to her so pleadingly that she relented and promised to do her best. Early the next morning Madge went shopping. She traveled from one store to another, revelling in the pretty things, until she came to what she after- ward called her “Waterloo.” In the window was a form dressed in what she took to be a hiking outfit. It appealed to her so much that she went in to in- vestigate. Madge could never resist pretty clothes and this outfit was entrancing. It consisted of a dark blue skirt, a blue leather coat, with cap and gauntlets to match, and, what decided her, blue leather boots. “Yes, miss, its very new. The girl taxi-drivers are adopting it as a uniform.” Madge went home with the suit. The sun had darkened and it began to rain as she emerged from the store. No taxis in sight, and her own car was at home! As a last resort she signaled the driver of a jitney and thankfully climbed in, just as it began to pour. Inside Madge viewed the bus with interest. Obviously it had been a private car and was just being used as a jitney. The car turned suddenly and Madge clutched her box, in an effort to save herself, and her tight grip on the box gave her an idea. Since jitneys were in style, why shouldn’t she drive one for her amusement? She had the whole outfit. The more she thought of it, the more the idea grew, and Madge was so excited that she hardly paid the driver. Up in her own room, Madge tried on the costume and to her delight found it to be a perfect fit. The hours dragged along ami she went to bed especially early that night. I 77 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 “Father,” said Madge at breakfast the next morning, “when you go to that meeting this morning, please take the roadster. I want the other car.” Mr. Monohan looked surprised, but said nothing. Breakfast over, Madge donned her fetching costume, took the car, and went adventuring in the busy part of the city. “Jitney, sir? ’ A timid voice startled an old gentleman, standing at the curb, reading. “Bless my soul, what’s this?” He looked at the car and then at Madge. oung woman, to whom does that car belong?” “It’s mine, sir,” Madge’s voice faltered. “I don’t believe it is, and you’d better be moving along. I intend to take a taxi anyway.” The second and third attempts proved better ventures and when Madge stopped a fourth time before a young man she was highly elated. Jack Russel was frankly bored. He had come to the city to see and meet Madge Monohan, and so far his efforts were futile. To go to the house was an impossibility after Daisy’s story, and he had racked his brains in vain for a plan. This particular morning he wandered about town hoping to find some way out of his difficulties. “Confound it!” he said savagely, “I have a good notion to go home and forget the whole—” “Jitney, sir?” A sweet voice interrupted his reverie, and he looked up to see his dream girl before him. “Why,'— why, of course, that's just what I have been waiting for.” And without another word he climbed in promptly and was wedged in between two women, who poked him with their elbows as the car rounded corners, hut Jack was blissfully ignorant of it all, and the only thing he saw was a blue leather cap, pulled down over dark, curly hair, the tips of fingers encased in blue gauntlets and the back of a blue leather coat. Evidently he was well pleased with the view, as he never removed his eyes from it. “What is she doing, driving a jitney? Surely her father doesn’t know that, or he wouldn't allow it — I have it! This is her romance. Well, by Jove, the girl is plucky! Still, she ought not to do this. Suppose something should happen to her. I believe 1 shall have to go along—” His musings were cut short by Madge who turned around and asked him his destination. He found himself the sole occupant of the jitney. “Why, er — er—, why, where does it go? I By George, but she’s good- looking! |” [ 78 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 “It stops here, and goes back to town.” Madge decided on her route on the spur of the moment. Until this time she had not known who her pas- senger was. It gave her a secret thrill of joy, that she could write Daisy that the adored Howard had ridden with her. Daisy had always bragged about him and Madge supposed they were practically engaged. “Well,” said Jack without hesitation, “I’ll ride the course two or three times.” Madge dimpled. Her first morning was a success. The route was covered five times before Jack reluctantly left the car, and only then when Madge told him the jitney service was finished for the morning, but would be the same as usual tomorrow. As she drove slowly along toward home, she counted over her earnings. One dollar and ten cents in one pocket and a fifty-cent piece in the other. She stopped and gave the money to some children along the way — except the fifty-cent piece. That she took home and carefully placed in a box on her dresser. The second morning was a repetition of the first. The third was the same, but on the fourth Mr. Monohan decided to take the touring car, and when Madge was ready to leave it was the roadster or nothing. The roadster went. Arrived at her usual post, Madge found her line of steady patrons waiting for her. “I am sorry, but I can’t accommodate you today. Perhaps tomorrow I shall have the large car.” There were many disappointed faces, but after the crowd dispersed, one re- mained. “I think I could take one passenger.” Jack brightened up and climbed in the car. “Just how well do you know Daisy, Mr. Lee?” Madge had been wanting to know this for a long time, but this was the most favorable time she had found to ask. “Mr. Lee? Daisy?” (Who did the girl think he was?) “Oh, you see, Daisy Earl and I are good friends and she has spoken of you many times.” “Oh, yes. Daisy’s brother and I are college chums, and I visited there occasionally.” Jack was on safe ground now and a paragraph of a letter Daisy had written him recently flashed into his mind: [ 79 J 19 2 0 A U R O R A 19 2 0 “Don’t, under any circumstances, tell Madge that you are Jack Russel. When we were at school she vowed she would never marry him, not even meet him.” “I — I was under the impression that you were eloser than friends?” Madge wondered what made her heart pound when she asked this question. “No. I hardly know her.” All obstacles removed, Madge saw her way clear and the rest of the ride was purely pleasure. By the end of the first week they were friends, and then Madge did not come for four days. Finally, when Jack was about to go to her home and inquire about it, she came one morning — but how changed; Her face was pale and she looked worn out. “Father has been sick. I am sorry, but I can’t do this any more.” Jack was silent. As they passed a park Madge stopped her machine, and they strolled about. Coming to a bench they sat down, and five minutes passed before Jack spoke. “Madge, you don’t know how I have missed you.” “Yes, Howard, I’ve missed you, too. It’s too bad it all has to end.” Jack drew a letter from his pocket. “Madge, I am going to show you what Daisy wrote me the other day.” He handed her the open letter: “About Madge’s jitney driving, I can only say, that if she has resorted to that you had better look out. She must be out for adventure and romance, and you’ll be in her net before you know it.” “Well?” Madge handed him the letter with a smile. “Madge, I have been caught in the net, and — and 1 don’t care about escaping, dear.” Her answer was low, but it must have been satisfactory, for as a small boy who played spy, afterwards told his friends, “And then he kissed her a long, long time!” Finally they returned to the machine, and Jack suddenly remembered something. “Madge, I must ’fess up. I am —” “I know just what you are going to say. You are Jack Russel!” Madge answered with a merry laugh. “But —but—?” “How did I find it out? You are too careless with your mail and 1 found this in the car the very first day.” “This” was an envelope addressed to Mr. John Russel, Jr. t so J 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 “Of course, I am not blind or stupid.” If the small boy would have played spy some more, be would have had to enlarge his story. The doorbell of the Monohan home rang loud and long, and David .Mono- ban left bis work to see who the excited person might me. He went down- stairs and found his old friend John Russel, trying to make the maid under- stand what be wanted. “Dave,” Mr. Russel rushed up to the novelist with a groan of relief, “What has happened to my boy?” “Your boy? Why, be has never been here. He didn’t visit us at all.” Mr. Monohan took the telegram that bis friend held before him and read it: “Dad: Go to Mr. Monohan’s house at once. Important. Jack.” “H’m! I am as much in the dark as you are. The boy hasn’t showed up here once.” A messenger boy rang the bell just then, and the excited Mr. Monohan signed and hastily tore open the flap. He read the message and a smile over- spread bis face as he handed the telegram to Mr. Russel: “Dear Dads: Married this morning. Took car for honeymoon. Sorry you couldn’t come, but we thought you might interfere. Love. Madge and Jack.” HELEN M. ANDRE. t 81 I Wl Jr4 UM 1 Vtt 1 wmtxm l PSriWMM Education, the Solution to Our Present Problems fTlHE aim of life is to live. By ‘‘living” is meant the realization and use I of all the instincts and powers that have been given us. The object of education is to show the youth the real values of life, to teach him how to direct his instincts, and how to use and develop his powers. Education should broaden him. It should give him a vision of his use. in the world. He should realize the need of his utmost efTort and of his unceasing cooperation with liis fellowmen, in order to make living a success. To accomplish this, education has many problems to solve. After the high idealism of the Great War, a reaction has set in. During the crisis, we thought seriously; we acted earnestly; we cooperated with our utmost endeavor. At the signing of the armistice, we went to the opposite extreme. We have as- sumed an attitude of lightness, which is almost unbelievable. This recon- struction period is a time for seriousness if there ever was one. The problems of the time cannot he settled by a mass of people, unconcerned with anything hut their own enjoyment. The tendency of the world is for continual pleasure. People demand excitement and constant entertainment. The moving picture is an example of this desire. There is no institution in America today which is so highly patronized. Pleasure seems to be the keynote of the Age. The quest for pleasure has not resulted in the finding of happiness. The desire for more and more entertainment has made people dissatisfied and rest- less. I hey have no definite objective. Thy flit from one occupation to the other, never finding in any the contentment which comes from striving for a high aim. They apply no intensive energy to their work. The constant desire for a change makes them careless and inaccurate. Dissatisfaction and restless- ness grow. This restlessness is one of the disturbing factors in our life today. It is one of the causes of the spread of Bolshevism. The world wants a change. [ 83 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 and many seem willing and eager to turn from organized government to a form of rule so impossible in construction as to be certain not only of failure, but of ruin and death. Thinking persons admit that there must be a change from the present way of living, but they realize that this change must come from within the heart of the people, not from without. Satisfaction and real contentment can only come from exalted spiritual goals and achievements. We have been following false standards and striving for material goals. There is, at present, an ever-increasing mad scramble for wealth. Too many of us believe that money alone can bring what we desire. With that end in view, we spend our money lavishly, waste it. The necessity for getting more, results in constant struggle. 1 he capitalist, with all his luxury, wants an added amount. He profits excessively at the expense of his employes and the public. The exorbitant prices of today were first begun by the profiteer. Greed and selfishness have blinded him until he has no sense of justice or fair play. The more extorting he becomes, the harder the laborer fights for the money which he considers essential to his comfort and pleasure. The laborer’s weapon is the strike. He employs this in any field whatever, as long as it is effective. To satisfy his own ends he is willing to cripple his em- ployer and greatly endanger society, as has been shown in the production and transportation strikes. He realizes the dependence of society upon the func- tioning of his duties, and he takes advantage of it. This is an age when each one is dependent upon the other, as never before. It is an age of specialization in which every one has his small but very important office to perform, in order to keep the whole organization running smoothly. It is intensely necessary, then, that each realize the value of cooperation. The Great War showed us that cooperation is possible, but at that time we were driven on by our common danger and common aim. Now, with no apparent danger, we have begun to quibble and quarrel among ourselves once more. But there is an even greater need for cooperation now than during the War. Then we put our hands and hearts together for the purposes of destruction. Shall history say of us that we refused to band together when there was advancement and good to be accom- plished? A very evident difficulty in the way of cooperation in America is the foreign element. The foreigners who have come here were dissatisfied with conditions in their mother country and they set out to seek liberty and gold in America. They rarely win the gold, and they never see the liberty which is America’s breath and substance. They are huddled together in colonies of their own t 84 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 nationality, reproducing the very conditions which they ran away to escape. They do not know America’s language nor her high ideals. They are out of harmony with her whole atmosphere. We cannot expect them to wish to co- operate when they have seen, in America, only neglect and ill-will. They are a prey to Bolshevism and other harmful doctrines. It is among the foreign population that the red menace has its greatest foothold. The illiterate, al- though he may be a citizen, is little better than the foreigner. He does not know what America is doing in the world because he cannot read the news- papers. He depends upon others to give him knowledge of conditions, and others do not always tell the truth. And so the illiterate becomes a potential menace to the safety and welfare of our country. There is another threatening menace to our safety and welfare, which for- merly went unnoticed. During the war it was discovered how great a per- centage of our young men were physically unfit to fight. If they are unfit to fight the wars of the nation, they are equally as unfit to struggle with its in- dustrial and social problems. They lack the strength and endurance to carry out great plans. Great plans and high ideals will eventually die, if there is no one to fulfill them. The world needs America and American ideals. As neces- sary as it is to develop in every person the desire to reach for noble things, it is just as necessary that the manhood be able to carry out its ideals after the desire has been felt. The nation needs health. For all these problems that confront the world today, there are many tem- porary remedies. But we must not stop at temporary expedients. We must find a permanent cure, the power of which will increase as the years pass on. This remedy is education. Education inculcates the desire for better living. It gives broad, unlimited vision, and then it arms the youth with the means to seek and find what he desires. With some really worthy ambition, people will neglect pleasure as their sole occupation. They will strive for the best in the world and even the striving will bring them contentment and enjoyment. A contented man is never restless. Instead of eating out his soul with the longing for something always different, he will apply his energy along one line, in one direction, toward one objective. The red menace and the overthrow of or- ganized government will be seen as the absurdities that they are. Wealth will cease to be the purpose and end of man’s labor. True happiness does not come from wealth but from inward accomplishment. Education, in its deep mean- ing, will give this. Education will show the need of cooperation. T he capitalist and the laborer will halt in their mad careers of destruction. When their pas- [ 85 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 sion cools, common sense will show them the value of working together. Work- ing together will, in time, produce brotherliness. But to bring about universal brotherliness, there must he universal education. The uplifting vision of edu- cation has previously been limited to a comparative few. Progress is reckoned today in terms of the many. It was an old theory that the masses are incapable of education and genius. Today we know the fallacy of this argument. Im- measurable talent has been lost because the great majority of the people have gone uneducated. W hen education is given to the masses, the foreigner and the illiterate will he subjected to its benefits. The foreigner has proven him- self worthy when he has understood and has been understood. W e must see to,it that he really understands America. The illiterate will he changed from a burden upon society to a distinct asset. By means of education, health will he taught. A man who is educated knows the value of health. He knows the principles of health. W e must educate our people in health, in order to carry on our program of high endeavor. When America is educated, she will rise in the world’s estimation, not only as a nation which has high ideals, hut as one which can accomplish what it aims to do. Then America can become a very definite factor for world good. But wre must constantlv hear in mind that America can only be this, after long and patient training of all her people, not only the children, not only the middle class, hut of all, adult and child, very rich and very poor. Education with its light must be for all. Toward this aim we are striving with earnest- ness and deep faith. ELIZABETH LIE B E B M A NN. EVERYONE, who is familiar with classical literature, knows that the Romans, in the best period of their history, each bore three names. Take for example, such names as Publius Cornelius Scipio, Marcus Tullius Cicero, and many more. This custom appears to have been a development, because the names connected with early Roman history consist of only one word. In a slightly later period, two names were used, one to denote the clan and one to indicate the individual. Rut in the later days of the Republic and throughout the time of the Empire the triple name was in common use. The parts of this complex name in their respective order designated the individual, the clan, and the family or branch. Following the usual order of the address, the praenomen or individual name is first considered. In accordance with conservatism of Roman people, only a few of these names (never exceeding thirty) existed and were generally used. Originally, these names showed some condition at the birth of their bearer, hut the handing down of one name from father to son seems to have slowly turned into a common custom. However, if the name was in any way disgraced, it was immediately banned from the family. The nomen, the second of the series, was the' most important of the three. It was inherited by the child as the surname is today; consequently there could be no choice in its selection. The nomen belonged to everyone who had any connection with the clan, as it was applied to men ami women, clients and freedmen, with no distinction whatsoever. As this name belonged to both the aristocratic and plebeian branches of the clan, it led to the use of a limited number of praenomina (individual names) by the aristocratic branches, avoid- ing as much as possible the names used by the plebeian branches. The last of these three names, the cognomen, served the purpose of mark- ing out the family or branch of the clan. Nearly all the great clans were divided in this manner, some of them embracing seven or more different families. Be- cause of the fact that the cognomen followed the name of the clan, it is thought that the oldest cognomen did not antedate the division of the people into clans. It is also believed that often the cognomen was a nickname given on account of f [ 87 | 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 some personal characteristic or peculiarity, meant at times as a compliment, but in some cases used in derision. For instance, the word Cicero means a chick-pea, and the legend has come down to us that some one of Cicero’s ances- tors had, upon his nose, a wart as large as a chick-pea; hence the cognomen of Ciciro was added. As these names, in many instances, were directed at physical traits, they lost their appropriateness on being transmitted from father to son, until their meanings were gradually buried by the (light of time. As an instance of the use of the three names, the familiar title, Gains Julius Caesar, means that the Caesar branch of the Julian family had a son to whom the name of Gaius was given, at his christening. EDWARD WEADOCK. [ 88 ] Saginaw High School, Juin, 1920. Ma chere Marguerite: II m’a fait beaucoup de plaisir de recevoir votre lettre interessante. Depuis que ce temp 8-la, quand la correspondance entre les eleves fran ais, et les eleves americains a commence, J’attends vivement la malle de France, et je ne regrette que nous somnies plusieurs milles separees. Je vous remercie des renseigne- ments sur votre pension. Comme vous vous amusez la-has! Nos ecoles americaines sont tout a fait differentes, et j’ai cru que vous aimeriez entendre quelque chose a l’egard des classes a Saginaw High School. Les Seniors vient de finer leur deuxieme annee de frangais, et ne regrettent pas l’opportunite qu’ils ont eu de l’etudier. La premiere annee nous avons commence avec la grammaire, et nous avons employe l’edition Chardenal. Nous etions tres fiers de lire nos premiers contes, dont la plupart etaient des contes des fees. Les contes hien-connus comme 64Les trois Ours” et “Les Saisons” nous semblaient tres neufs, quaml nous les avons lus dans une langue differente. Nous, les jeunes eleves de frangais avons fait plus de progres que cela la premiere annee. Nous avons appris a chanter les petites chansons populaires en frangais, comme “Frere Jacques,” et “Au Clair de la Lune.” Alors nous avons etudie la chanson magnifique de votre pays, “La Marseillaise,” et a la fin de l’annee, nous pouvious la chanter dans sa propre langue. Notre Senior travail etait meme plus interessant que celui de Fannee passee. Nous avons commence avec une revue de la grammaire, nous nous somnies rendus maitre du suhjonctif |?l et alors nous avons lu “Neuf Contes Choisis” de Daudet. Je suis certaine que vous vous amuseriez bien aux inci- dents qui se sont presentes dans notre classe, et aux fautes frequentes qu on a faites. Personne excepte un eleve frangais, ne peut apprecier la traduction d'un commendant innocent que parle de “L’habit de Fhomme comme “The habit of the man,” ou “Le Taille du cheval,” comme “The Horse’s Tail! ' Dans notre premiere piece de theatre, une comedie en deux actes, “La Poudre [ 89 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 aux Yeux,” nous avons fait beaucoup le telles fantes; quelques-unes etaient presque tragiques, mais elles etaient ton jours tres amusantes. Neanmoins, les eleves de la classe etaient en veine de jouir les failtes, et nous avions de Pindul- gence pour un eleve que a parle sans rellechir. Je suppose que vous, une fille de France, avez hi le chef-d’oeuvre de Pros- per Meriniee, “Colomba.” Cette histoire a fini notre cours en fran ais, et bien jue ce n’etait point facile a 1’etudier, tous les eleves en out joui. Les parties de 1’histoire qui etions les plus difficiles nous out amuses de nouveau. Quand Colomba a dit qu’elle avait soinmeil et a inis la tete sur “1’oreiller,” les eleves fran ais out traduit tout de suite: “Elie mettait la tete sur 1’oreille!” “Oreiller” et “oreille” ne sont pas faciles a distinguer. Vous m’avez ecrit ile vos lecons dans votre derniere lettre. Ecrivez-moi bientot, et dites-moi comment vous trouvez 1’etude de notre langue, s’il vous plait. La guerre a naturellement approche nos pays, et je suis sure que les eleves americains ont un desire ardent de connaitre les fils et les jeunes filles de France. L’etude de la langue frangaise a l’ecole a fait cet interet plus grand, j’en suis sure. La lanque elleineine est de si bonne qualite qu’elle eveille notre capacite intellectuele, et ne doit pas etre negligee dans une education com- plete. Ce recit, vous a-t-il ete ennuyeux? Dites-moi bientot Unites les choses au sujet de votre debut en juin quand vous recevrez votre diplbme, et de votre voyage a Paris. A vous sincerement, votre amie americaine, MARIE VOLZ. r yo j 1 9 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Saginaw High School, June 21, 1920. Mv Dear Marguerite: It certainly was a pleasure for me to receive your interesting letter. Since this correspondence system between French and American students has begun I anxiously await mail from France, and my only regret is that we are several thousand miles apart so that we cannot hear oftener from each other. Thank you for telling me all about your hoarding school. What good times you do have! Our American schools are very much different, and I thought you might care to hear something about the French classes of the Saginaw High School. The Seniors have just completed their second year of French, and none of them regret the splendid opportunity they have had to study it. Our Junior work began with grammar and we used Chardenal’s edition. We were so proud to read our first stories, which were mostly Fairy Tales. Familiar stories like “The Three Bears” and “The Seasons” seemed very new to us when read in a different language. We, the aspiring young French students, went still further in our Junior year. We learned to sing gay little French Folk Songs like “Frere Jacques” and “AuClair de la lune.” Then we studied your country’s wonderful song “La Marseillaise,” and at the close of the year were able to sing it in its own language. Our Senior work was even more interesting than that of the year before. We began with a review of grammar, mastered the Subjunctive Mode ? , and then read Hamlet’s “Neuf Contes Choisis.” 1 am sure that you would be very much amused at incidents that occurred in our class and at the frequent mis- takes that were made. Only a French student appreciates the translation of an innocent beginner who speaks of “L’habit de l’homme” as “The habit of the man,” or of “Le Taille du Cheval” as “The horse’s tail.” In our first play, a two-act comedy called “La Poudre aux Yeux,” many such mistakes, some almost tragic, but always very amusing, were made. However, the members of the class were the fortunate possessors of a keen sense of humor and so allowance was made for thoughtless blundering. I suppose that you, as a daughter of France, have read Prosper Merimee’s masterpiece “Colomba.” This story completed our course in French, and al- though by no means an easy book to study, was enjoyed by every one of us. The more difficult parts of the story provided new sources of amusement. When Colomba said she was sleepy, and put her head on “1’oreiller,” the eager French [ 91 j 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 students readily translated: “She placed her head on her ear!” “Oreiller” as pillow, and “Oreille” as ear, certainly are not easy to distinguish. You mentioned your school work in your last letter. Won't you please write to me soon and tell me how you enjoyed studying our language? The Great War has naturally drawn our nations closer together, and I am sure the American students feel a keener desire to know the hoys and girls of France. The studying of the French language in school has strengthened this interest, 1 am sure. The language itself is of such fine quality as to arouse our intel- lectual ability, and ought not to be omitted from any complete education. Has this “recital” been tiresome to you? I hope not. Do let me hear very soon all about your graduation and your trip to Paris. Sincerely, Your American friend, MARIE VOLZ. r 92 j La Celebracion de Navidad en Espana EN Espaiia los festividades de Navidad se celebran distinto a Estados Unidos. La pompa y el jubilo duran hasta el seis de enero. Empezando desde el veintidos de diciembre los grupos de jovenes se congregan y van puerta en puerta cantando y dando las serentas a sus amigos. Amenudo son llamados aqui y se les refresca con las delicadezas. Hacen esto hasta la vispera de Navidad, el veinticuatro de diciembre. Esa noclie a las doce se canta la inisa del gallo. Es muy hermosa. Un gran numero de niiioti son adornados con trajes de pastores y llevan los regalos al nino Jesus, porque la Navidad en los paises de habla espanola es principal- mente para la complacencia de los ninos.

The pomp and merry-making last until the sixth of January. Beginning with the twenty-second of December, groups of young people gather together and go from door to door singing and serenading their friends. Often they are called in and refresh themselves with delicacies. Ibis is done until Christmas Eve, the twenty-fourth of December. On this night Booster Mass is sung. This is very beautiful. A great number of chil- dren are dressed in the garb of shepherds and they bring gifts to the child Jesus, because Christmas in the Spanish-speaking countries is mainly for the pleasure of the children. After Mass the Christmas dinner is served. This consists of the best and most delicious food to he had. It varies somewhat from ours in that they prefer roast pigs to fried chicken and roast turkeys. The giving of gifts continues until the fifth of January. On this night the children fill their shoes with hay and put them on the porches of their houses. In the night three kings come, mounted on horses. One is white, Caspar, Baltasar is yellow, and Melchior, the third, is black. In exchange for the hay they fill the shoes with little gifts, toys and candy. I his is the happiest day of the year. There is much noise in the streets. Everywhere one hears drums, tambourines and sirens. Now and then some students pass through the city singing and serenading. At noon they meet with their relatives and eat together the dinner of the kings (or wise men). 1 he municipality has a feast for the poor. In the afternoon the children go with their parents to the theatre. Here are to he found many toys and sweets for the poor children. In Spain all the children are happy on the Day of Kings; for them, the sixth of January is the merriest of the year. f i 4 | ANNE ROBERTS. PUBLIC SPEAKING AS WE, the members of the Class of 1920, shall in future years look back on our work in Public Speaking, the memory to some will be a pleasant one, to others, one filled with horror. This applies largely to the work in the class-room but the results of the contests and debates will always re- main of special interest to us all. It is especially fitting, therefore, that, in a memory hook, this division of the work he the one recorded. The year 1920 saw enviable records established in all three branches. Declamation, Oratory, and Debating. The fuel shortage, with the result that school was closed for several weeks, interfered seriously with the preparation of declamations and orations, hut despite this fact a splendid showing was made. In declamation, the competition was keen and the decision difficult to make. The following Ninth and Tenth Graders competed in this contest: Louise Albosta Marion Kiely Helen Reider Jean Bentley Audrey Kruger Charles Rick Lorraine Burdick Bernice Lobb Maurice Rushlow Florence Brink Mabel Masales Hedwig Steinhagen Edwin Clark Helen Marshall Grace Simpson June Dietrich Merrill McDonald Jane Simpson Robert Davies John McKenna Courtney Sonnenburg Nellie Ditmar Helen McMeekin Eleanor Steele Margaret Fisher Edward McRae Jack Tennant Nora Frisbie Francis Miner Irma Vassold Lucille Greenebaum Melvin Mountjoy Dorothy Wolf Vivian Griggs Viola Musser Curt Will Helen Hill Agnes Orr Vivian Yeo In the final contest , Merrill McDonald was given third place, Margaret Fisher second place, while Melvin Mountjoy with the Declamation Slaves or Freemen,” by Kerensky. , won first place and the right to represent Saginaw High School in the Sub-District Contest. Orations wrere prepared for this contest by the following Juniors: Helen Bowman Sears Herbert Morton Stewart Belle Clinkofstine Marion Hunt Ellen Vaughan Isabel Duby Dorothy Kiely Helen W olf Beatrice Hammel Irma Rupp I !� 5 ] 19 2 0 A II KORA 19 2 0 Helen Vi olf was given second place and Morton Stewart won first place and the right to represent us in the Sub-District Contest. His oration was entitled “Radicalism.” I lie Sub-District Contest was held in I awas City and Saginaw won second place in each division, out of a field of seven places. The failure of one of the judges to be present made it necessary to determine the places on the grades of two judges. In both branches, the marks were close and the third judge might easily have given Saginaw winning place, for hotli hoys were but one point below the total that won. Mr. Mountjoy has represented us two years in excellent manner and the splendid showings of both Mr. Mountjoy and Mr. Stewart gives promise of keen competition next year in whatever branch of work they may take up. In debating, we were again entered in the State Debating League. With better material than usual, the “squad” had high hopes of getting well on toward the finals. We did reach practically the top of the District and Saginaw TIEDKE NEGATIVE DEBATING TEAM KING GRABOWSKI -WITHERELL KYNAST KOEPKE I 96 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 STEWART MOUNTJOY WOLF FISHER WINNERS OF ORATORY AND DECLAMATION lias every reason to be proud of her record. In no debate was she outclassed and in a number completely smothered her opponents both in argument and platform work. The writer cannot refrain from opining that this was due, in part, to the presence this year of girls on the teams! ! ! ! The question debated was: ’ Resolved, That Congress should adopt a system of Universal Military I raining for all able-bodied male citizens between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five.” Our first debate was with Standish at Standish, January 9. We championed the affirmative side with a team composed of Elizabeth Lieber- mann, Lowell Hudson, and Wesley Cook. I lie decision was two to one against us but we did not mourn our loss for it gave us the opportunity of meeting our ancient enemy, Arthur Hill. I he debate was held at Pioneer Hall, January 22, with our affirmative team defending our honor. Our representatives completely smothered our across- river friends and won the unanimous decision, Elizabeth Liebermann especially, doing most excellent work. On February 12, the negative team was given its first opportunity to dis- play its prowess. Pontiac’s team journeyed to the City of Opportunity only [ 97 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 HUDSON COOK LIEBERMANN AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM [ 98 I 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 to lose the opportunity of getting farther in the League. Before a record- breaking audience, both in numbers and enthusiasm, the meeting trios gave those in attendance the peppiest debate ever staged in Saginaw High School. The Pontiac people had splendid material and platform appearance and pos- sessed much “pep” and “scrap.” Our team, consisting of Wesley Cook, Elinor itherell and Blanche Kynast, was put to no easy task, but won the unanimous decision of the judges. rI he first week in March saw our affirmative team in Ann Arbor, again “ F' ready to defend the adoption of Military Training. They failed, however, to convince the judges and lost the decision. This loss blasted our hopes as far as the State League was concerned. Early in the season, however, a dual debate had been arranged with Lan- sing High. On March 23, our negative team, this time consisting of Hans Grahowski, Elinor itherell, and Blanche Kynast, went to the Capitol City and in a closely contested debate lost the decision. While our negative team was losing, our affirmative team, whose personnel remained the same through- out the season, was defeating Lansing’s negative team on our home platform. Our debating season was closed April 20 by a debate with Arthur Hill before the Woman’s Club, with our negative team, this time composed of Ruth King, Elinor Withered, and Blanche Kynast, representing Saginaw. There were five judges and Saginaw won four votes. Thus, Saginaw has won four of the seven debates she had this season. I his is a splendid record for a season of debating and Saginaw High has every right to be proud of it. The nine people who this year devoted their time to debating feel that the time could not have been spent to greater advantage. Debating instills in one a new interest in national affairs and makes one enthusiastic in all vital topics of the day. Saginaw, this year, loses practically all of its debaters. Edwin Koepke and Gunther Tiedke alone remain as a nucleus of next year’s teams. In the loss of Mr. Cook, who is debating here for the second year, Saginaw loses the services of an unusual debater, one consistent in his efforts and with an ability of striking the basic principles behind an argument. The work of every member was unusually meritorious and sets a high standard for those who shall follow after. Honor medals will he awarded this year for the second time. The bronze medal, the recognition given for representing the school in outside contests for one year, will go to six people this year: Ruth King, Elizabeth Liebermann, El inor W itherell, Lowell Hudson, Hans Grahowski, each for one year of de- l 99 1 19 2 0 A U R O R A 19 2 0 bating, and Morton Stewart, one year in oratory. For two years’ service a silver medal is given. Two people will receive this award. They are Melvin Mount- joy, for two years in declamation, and Wesley Cook, for t%vo years in debating. The first gold medal ever issued by Saginaw High will he presented to Blanche Kynast for one year in declamation, one year in oratory, and one year in debating. Although Saginaw loses practically all its debaters, the declamation and oratorical contests of this year show us that the coming classes are rich in material and we need have no fears that Saginaw High will in the future fall behind her fine records of the past. B. V. K. [ 100 i [ 101 J ALMOST everyone, if a music-lover or even if not, feels the effects of music, whether it he a famous opera selection or the “peppy” strains of a “jazz- band.” M usic has stirred and urged men on to give their best to the world. It has led nations to victory and, by its “stirring call for men,” has shown them their duty in upholding their country’s honor. Babes hush their crying at the soft notes of love falling from their mother’s lips; it soothes the last moments of the soul as the curtain is drawn to veil the light of day. Music is educational and should have a place in everyone’s course of study. It causes one to think more deeply and to see the more beautiful things of life. With all these merits it is easy to understand why music is popular in Saginaw High School. It is included in the curriculum of the school, which offers good opportunities to those studying it to become familiar with the com- posers as well as the music. Pupils take special delight in writinig biographies of famous composers. Besides the regular class study of music there are several musical societies. One of the High School societies is the Orchestra, an organization which is directed by Mrs. K. M. B. Wilson. It not only appears at school functions hut also in public, where it has gained much applause. The Glee Club is led by Mrs. E. A. Patterson. This boys’ club is very much liked and appreciated by students of Saginaw High, because their songs bubble over with “pep” and “snap.” Another society of merit is the Amphion, which is under the guidance of M rs. W ilson. These girls ako appear in public and receive the same appre- ciation that is shown other musical societies of this school. W ith all these songsters and musicians Saginaw High School should never become a hall of gloom. Smiles should lurk from every corner and the air be filled with happy tunes. [ 102 ] 19 2 0 A U RORA 19 2 0 These societies and those interested in the study of music represent the musical talent of the school. Their success is due to their own ability and willingness to cooperate with their patient and efficient directors. There is definite proof this year that considerable more interest is being taken in music. A musical contest has been arranged to take place at Mount Pleasant, May 27 and 28, in which all High Schools may participate. There will he soloists, duets, single, double and mixed quartettes. One song has been selected for participants to sing, and one is to he elective. Judges have been selected to choose the best singers and prizes will be awarded. Our school will be well represented by a number of our best sinigers. Our efforts have met w ith success this year. We feel sure that music, in the future will he nourished and will thrive; that future musical organizations will take up the work where we have left it and continue to gain laurels. MARIE BLAKE. [ 103 ] MANUAL TRAINING 1 x______, === =1,__ s MANUAL Training education has become possible for the Saginaw Higli School students through the generosity and thoughtfulness of our late Honorable W. R. Burt. In giving to us our modern equipped school building he has put us under life-long obligation and thankfulness. Let us herewith honor his memory and try to show our appreciation by taking a de- cided interest in our Manual Training future. Manual Training consists of the following departments: Domestic Science and Domestic Art for the girls. Woodwork, Machine Shop, Mechanical Drawing, Forging, Foundry, Pattern Making and Carpentry for the hoys. All of these departments enable the student to prepare for his or her future. When a stu- dent graduates he usually knows what he is capable of undertaking, especially after having one or more years of practical experience in this splendidly equipped house of learning. In some instances students already know, before they even enter High School, what they intend to do after they graduate. These, of course, are ex- ceptions and therefore the various studies are arranged in groups numbering from which their choice is made. The girls having domestic studies in view will take group HI, thereby learning Laundry, Emergency Nursing, Cooking and Sewing. These classes meet twice every week for double periods, during all four years. The hoys having mechanical views are classed in group 111, consisting of Pattern Making the first year. Forging the second and Practical Machine Shop the third and fourth years. At first everything is quite simple hut gradually as the students become accustomed to their surroundings and requirements everything becomes more practical enabling anyone to learn. Of course, if a student wishes to take only two years of Manual Training, that also can be arranged for by being classed with a different group. Manual Training has become so important and popular among students that it has attracted the attention and approval of the Board of Education and they have further enlarged the department by buying up several large pieces of machinery. These were used during warfare production and are therefore not yet practical for school work until some minor repairs and adjustments have been made; thus providing new experience for the students. Of course, through these various departments any student can experiment on any object he wishes to produce. If he has made up his mind to try I 104 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Furniture-making there is certainly variety enough to satisfy anyone. He has an opportunity to try his skill at making library tables, dressing tables, writing desks, chairs, music cabinets, victrola cabinets, piano benches, rockers and even lamps. If his interest is centered on machine work he can make vises, emery grinders, and even gasoline engines. To start with, a drawing must first be made and approved of by the instructor, after which it becomes practical work. All these drawings and their results are shown at an exhibit given a week before school closes. During this exhibit all the department rooms of the Manual Training School are open and classes are conducted just as they are during school time. This gives the parents and public an opportunity to see just what and how much the students are capable of undertaking and their results. The exhibit is also for the girls. They have a showing of millinery, dresses, blouses, under- wear, and different kinds of handiwork and embroideries. In the Twelfth Grade some of the students make their own graduation dresses. Also in the Domestic Science room an array of all kinds of cooking and baking is on dis- play and the right ways to prepare food are shown. Anyone can see by the large crowds found at these exhibits that the public is well pleased and that every opportunity has been given the students to pre- pare themselves for their future vocation. In this way a most successful and interesting High School course in Manual Training is completed. A. C. MICKEY. [ 105 ] %Y 7 HEN tillage begins, other arts follow. The agriculturist therefore is W the founder of civilization.” 1 he secret of success in agriculture as well as in all other occupa- tions, is to know how to do it. Not only to raise good crops, but crops that will sell to the best advantage. Tillage is the most independent and one of the most healthful of all employments. If you are comfortably situated on a farm and are tempted to go to a neighboring city for the sake of better wages and more pleasures, think many times before you leave. You might long for a change if you are a farmer’s boy. That is a feeling that is peculiar to many farmers’ hoys. Nine persons out of ten, in every con- dition of life, long for a change. There are many city hoys and men who wish they could he in the country. The business man might he thoroughly tired out and worried over business, and is longing for the day to allow him to have a comfortable resting place in the country. The modes of life in the city are different than those of the country. In these the differences of advantages are almost wholly with the young man in the country. The greenness of the young man from the farm when he goes to the city is nothing compared to the greenness of the young man from the city when he goes to the country. A man can go from the country at any time and find something to do to earn a living in the city. But the man from the city cannot go to the country and earn his living on the farm. A real farmer is one that is well trained and educated, one whose land is plowed with industry and cultivated with intelligence, one who keeps a hank account, and keeps pace with the world’s progress. A man named Cincinnatus was very much interested in farming. He lived about five hundred years before the birth of Christ. One day while he was plowing he was informed that he was appointed dictator of the greatest empire of the world. He put on his coat and went into the city and in sixteen days he vanquished two hostile armies and secured the safety of his country. Then in two weeks after his appoint- [ 106 ] 19 2 0 AUK O R A 19 2 0 meiit as dictator, like a wise man, he hung up his robes of office and went back to his plowing. When his country needed him he was ready, but his pleasure was in his fields. An important matter in farming is to have a good market. Most of the fruits raised on farms cannot stand very long before they begin to decay. It is preferred to farm in the right place, for no amount of industry, no knowl- edge of the work, no training or education can bring success to the farmer who farms in the wrong place. The farmer must also have good products such as the public needs. Our courses in Agriculture include Agricultural Botany, Soils and Crops, Horticulture, and Dairying. In Agricultural Botany we study various items about trees and plants. We study a great deal about soils and crops. The way to keep soils in good conditions, the best of fertilizers to be used and how to obtain the best crops from the soil. In Dairying we learned about the various breeds of cattle. There is a better chance for the former in this country now than there ever has been before. He has better opportunities for making money. He must have as much education and as much brain as the merchant or the manufac- turer. If he cannot make a success, it is not the farm’s fault — it is his own fault. W. NIEDBALSKI.

October 30, 1909, The Honorable W. R. Burt addressed a letter to the Superintendent of Schools offering to contribute $2,000 to organize a Trade School. The offer was accepted by the Board of Education and the school was opened January 5, 1910, and has been carried on since then, using the shops of the Manual Training School. More than 250 boys have taken advantage of the opportunities offered in the Pre-Vocational School, and those who have completed the two-year course are now engaged as machinists, draftsmen, and mechanics of various kinds at good wages. In letters received from the graduates of the Pre-Vocational School, they speak in the highest terms of the value of the Pre-Vocational School to them in pre- paring for their work. The object of the Pre-Vocational School is to equip hoys for a start in a trade. There are courses which teach the elements of several different trades, such as machine shop practice, and forging. These courses give the hoy an insight into work closely related to several trades. They give skill in several lines of work and foster habits of good workmanship valuable in any trade. Completion of the two-year course gives a boy an excellent start toward becom- ing a skilled draftsman or mechanic. Most of the graduates have taken up machine shop work or mechanical drawing.

STUDENT COUNCIL IN ORDER to conform with the democratic ideas of today, Saginaw High School has, for the first time, a representative organization of the student body whose duty it is to discuss and decide upon matters of importance to the school in general. These do not include questions of discipline, as this would tend to create a feeling of resentment on the part of the other students toward the Council. As each class and each of the clubs and societies in the Saginaw High School has, during the year, some function, they are represented in the Council as follows: Pre-Vocational—Gordon Forrester, Arthur Reid Freshmen—Raymond Thayer, Evelyn Norris Sophomore—Elmer Cornwell, Dorothy Ogborn Junior-—George Richards, Helen Grainger Senior—Kenneth Patterson, Dorothy Fried Lyceum—Hugh Spence Thencean—Elinor Witherell Amphion—Dorothy Kiely Public Speaking—Blanche Kynast Athletic Association—Frank Whitney Orchestra—Allen Thayer Glee Club—Courtney Sonnenberg The first two meetings were devoted to the arranging of dates for school functions so that there might not be any conflicts. The dates already taken are: Friday, January 16—Saginaw at Arthur Hill (Basketball i Thursday, January 22—Saginaw at Arthur Hill (Debate) Friday, January 23—Owosso here (Basketball) Friday, February 16—East Lansing here (Basketball) Saturday, February 7—Thencean Leap Year Party Friday, February 13—B.

Plans for the better support of school functions have been discussed and made in regard to the attendance at debates, declamations, and oratorical con- tests and other school activities. During the last few meetings of the Council, a new system of marking which raised the passing standard from 65 to 75 has been discussed. The result of a straw vote was very favorable for it: Passing mark of 65 received 3 of 15. Passing mark of 75 received 12 of 15. DOROTHY FRIED. [ 13S ] ff ?

G. Weeks, who formerly played at Michigan. These two men deserve a lot of credit for the splendid help they gave the team. Every night one or the other would be at the Field, sometimes both of them, coach- ing and drilling the boys to perfection. Alumni 7 — Saginaw 0 Alumni Field saw the old stars once more playing on the gridiron. Al- though defeated the game was of great value to the Saginaw High boys. They found out their weaknesses and failings. Even with all the Alumni stars, Saginaw held them to a 7 to 0 score.

Alpena never had a chance. The game opened with Bentley and Whitney at ends. Mavis and Roseberry at guards, Hebert and Neumann at tackles, Sommers at center, Weadock at quarter, Kelly at fullback and Gillingham and Brackenbury at halves.

Detroit had a fine team, but the score was not a proof of it. The Black and Gold fought in fine shape, but all the breaks fell to the other side. Thirteen men saw service on Goldberg Field. 1 hey were: Captain Wal- lace, Patterson, Sommers, Bentley, Weadock, Kelly, Gillingham, Roseberry, Hebert, Austin, Zuelch, Whitney and Allen. Score by periods: Detroit Northwestern ..........12 6 7 13 — 38 Saginaw ....................... 0 6 0 0 — 6 Saginaw 20 — Flint 6 In an aerial game which was little short of wonderful, Saginaw spoiled Flint’s hopes. Out of fifteen passes, nine were completed for a total of 181 yards. Bentley and Patterson showed up well at ends and worked in great style. Roseberry and Austin were right on the job. Flint’s best were Knight and Decker. Love’s ability at running the ends was very noticeable.

[ 146 1 19 2 0 AUK O R A 19 2 0 It seemed that Patterson and Bentley were the only ones in form. Kelley, J J y however, did good work, helping to gain yards, but the gains were not big enough.

Spence and Corlett in their first game did some fine work. Our tackles were weak, as was the whole line, hut still the team pulled through. MacDonald of Bay City did his whole team’s work.

Both teams were con- fident of victory. Saginaw put the ball over in the first eight minutes of play. Arthur Hill’s points came in the second quarter. Arthur Hill played on the defense all the second half. Only good fortune saved her from being scored on twice. “Chuck” Kehren was the bright light of the Hillites, while Brackenbury, Weadock, and Kelly did our ground gaining. Allen played a nice defensive game and little “Hughie” Spence showed the crowd that it isn’t always the “big uns.” Bentley and Patterson, and Roseberry were constantly breaking up plays. Corlett and Austin both played bang-up games. Zuelch was con- stantly in Arthur Hill’s way doing damage untold. Hebert’s work on defense and offense was great. Captain Wallace played his last game with Saginaw High, putting everything he had into the game and urging his men on. Graduation takes Captain Wallace, Weadock, Patterson, Zuelch, Corlett, Allen, and Spence, hut these fellows look to Captain Kelly, Roseberry, Bracken- bury, Gillingham and Brown to get revenge on our old rivals across the “pond. ’ I 147 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Summary: Saginaw — 6 6 — Arthur Ilill Bentley IE....

Soon, however, after two or three defeats the team picked up and played fairly good basketball the rest of the year. MacMur- ray’s team was entirely new, for only one man remained from last year, Cap- tain Wallace. Bay City Western 44 — Saginaw 1 Without any practice Saginaw lost its first game to Western. The team was in no shape and therefore took a terrible trimming. Saginaw’s one point came from a foul shot by Norris. Those getting in the game were: Bentley, Patterson, Zuelch, Norris, Brown, Allen and Weadock. Arthur Hill 20 — Saginaw 15 This game was also lost, hut it was an honorable defeat. The first half was entirely in the West Siders’ favor. In the second half Saginaw started to go and very nearly staged an old-time “come back.' Arthur Hill got only two points in this half and those were on fouls. The team started with Kelly ami Zuelch at forwards. Cook at center and Captain Wallace and Bentley at guards. “Pete” Brown took Kelly’s place and “Chuck” Norris relieved Zuelch during the game. All of the men had the old time “pep.” Owosso 13 — Saginaw 11 Saginaw again went down to defeat after playing a hard game. Saginaw' pulled off a spectacular come hack but it wasn’t enough to win. The half ended 9 to 2 in Owosso’s favor, hut she had a hard time keeping the lead the second half. Patterson and Norris played a steady game, while Casing and Melchers wrere the “bright lights” of Owosso. Bay City Eastern 40 — Saginaw 21 The Black and Gobi quintette once more sufTered defeat. The first few minutes were exciting, for Saginaw took the down river lads right off their feet. Soon Bay City rallied and Saginaw was left far behind. Stout of Bay City did some nice work, while Zuelch showed up well for us. Saginaw 13 — Bay City Western 12 Saginaw showed Western what defeat was in a game full of “pep” and “fight.” Corlett played a nice game for Saginaw as did Patterson and Norris. The game was an example of defensive basketball. Arthur Hill 17 — Saginaw 6 For the second time this year the Blue and Gobi team beat Saginaw. The game was not basketball, hut a good old-time football game. This was the main reason for Saginaw’s defeat. Dembinske and Huebner of Arthur Hill were the stars. Norris of Saginaw was the only man who could shoot a basket. L 152 1 19 2 0 AURORA I 9 2 0 Lansing 54 — Saginaw 13 Saginaw went down to Lansing and received another thrashing. It was a very listless game. Saginaw at no time showed any signs of “fight.” They seemed almost frightened on the big Lansing gym floor. Patterson worked the best of any, hut to no avail. It is team work that counts and wins games. Owosso 52 — Saginaw 20 Owosso once again turned the tables and set Saginaw down to the tune of 52 to 20. Rigby and Melchers were in trim form and only Patterson was able to keep them down. Owosso started out with a spurt and never stopped until she had won the game without any question. Zuelch fought hard, hut it was useless. Hay City Eastern 13 — Saginaw 14 In a close game Saginaw nosed out Eastern in the final forty seconds. The game was fast and fairly spectacular. Corlett played a nice game, as did Pat- terson, Norris and Brown. It seems that Saginaw can only “get along” once in a while, but when she does everybody has to step aside. The team work in this game was very noticeable. East Lansing 24 — Saginaw 28 The game in our Gym against East Lansing was the best game that our team has played this year. Our defensive and passing ability showed up very well. The work of Norris was very spectacular. The work of Brown, Zuelch and Patterson must also not be overlooked. Hendershott and Newman were the stars of the East Lansing team. This game contained no rough play and was the fastest one played this year. Saginaw 19 — Alpena 10 Saginaw met the northern hoys from Alpena and came out on the long end of the score. The game was very slow and uninteresting. Norris made 12 of the team’s 19 points. Ellico of Alpena was the star of the game. He shot 8 of his team’s 10 points. Port H uron 28 — Saginaw 22 Saginaw lost to Port Huron in a very close game. The game was slowed up by the referee’s constant idea of taking out time. Patterson and Norris worked in fine shape, while Corlett did some fine aggressive work. Saginaw 14 — Traverse City 10 Saginaw easily won from Traverse City in a game played in a very poor Gym. It slowed Saginaw up and hindered them from running up a score. Saginaw attended the basketball tournament at Mt. Pleasant. She was eliminated by Flint by a score of 22 to 11. Norris and Patterson seemed to be the only ones anywhere near the form the team had shown at times. Flint’s best man was Ferguson, who played a steady game at center. [ 153 J [ 154 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 Girls’ Basketball THE Saginaw Higli School basketball sextette have bad a very successful season, being beaten only by the State Champions (East Lansing| and the Normal School of Physical Training at Battle Creek. Our team was able to bold the Valley Title this year. The team was composed of new material with the exception of two, but through the good, thorough training and coach- ing by Mrs. Riese the girls have proven themselves adept. Arthur Hill The first game of the season was with Arthur Hill. This game was full of pep and quick action on both sides of the team. Our team with our four new members proved themselves far superior to their opponents. Our new Sophomore forward, Marjorie Wickham, showed us just how capable she was of playing basketball. The score was 29 to 19, Marjorie making 18 out of the 29 points. Marion Boergart, also a new member on the team, did excellent work. With these two players and the rest of the team as well, we easily won the game. Line up: Saginaw (29) (19) Arthur Hill Wickham F Ogborn F Carr Cushway S. C... . Boergart J.C....

Marjorie and Dorothy both did finely, Dorothy making 5 baskets and Marjorie 4. Enough credit can never be given to “Cushy” our side center. Without her the ball would never be at our end very much. She fed the ball constantly to our forwards with the help of the jumping centers. Th is allowed us to beat them by 13 points.

East Lansing Our first defeat wras met Friday, March 20, when we played w’ith East Lansing, the State Champions, which eliminated us from the State Champion- ship race altogether. This game was the fastest and finest game that has ever t 157 ] 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 been played by our team. Saginaw went into the game with all regulars, except Robertson, whose place was taken by Lucile Daily, a Freshman substitute who has done excellent work for the team. During the first quarter we led by two, but at the end they were in the lead by two. At the end of the half the score was 22 to 12 to their credit, but a hard fight was put up and we held them to 24 while we crept up to 20. This seemed to our girls the most exciting part of the whole game as we then began to think that we had a good chance of winning. At the beginning of the second half, Ruby Hiatt, also a substitute, whose guarding cannot be criticised, went in as guard, taking L. Daily’s place and “Red Smith went in as jumping center. Saginaw did everything possible to check Lansing’s star forward, Margaret King, from getting the ball but we failed constantly. Dorothy and “Cushy” starred for us, Dorothy making eight baskets while “Cushy” continually chased Sylvia King around the court. Line up: East Lansing (35) (20) Saginaw M. King . . . .F Brewer I).

This game was quite a hard game for us on account of the slippery floor we had to play on. Due to the absence of our two jumping centers, Doris Oppermann, the junior jumping center, took their place. Doris deserves credit, as it was her first game and we all know the sensation of our first game. Dorothy and “Cushy” as usual, did excellent work.

This game was not as fast as our first game but yet we were never allowed to stand idle. The first half ended with a score of 13 to 6 in our favor. Another Fresh- man, “Red” Smith, did excellent work in this game. We surely need “Red for all our games to come in the future years.

We were greatlv handicapped by the small floor space and the low ceilings hut during the second half we began to get used to the floor and the only scoring done in the last quarter was one basket by East Lansing. East Lansing led in the first half hv 13 points hut gradually we came up to 13 while they ran their score up to 30. Anne Robertson did excellent work in this game. Her height, nearly the same as Margaret King’s, helped to keep the latter from making more baskets. Anne admits she had a real hard fight. Red Smith also did excellent work for the team.

Marjorie also did excellent work. Not enough credit can be given to our Freshman sub Lucile Daily. In this game her work could not be beaten by any of the regu- lars.

Their guards never gave our forwards a chance to make a basket, but Dorothy managed to get five baskets. She did all the scoring except one foul which was made by Marjorie. This game seemed to be nothing but a game of fouls, which were made by both of the teams.

Much praise should be given to our Coach, Mrs. Ruth Riese, who coached us so that we were able to win the Valley Championship for our school. Mrs. Riese’s untiring efforts will never be forgotten by the girls of the nineteen twenty team. This year two of the girls on the team are leaving, but we leave four regulars and plenty of subs who are so well trained that they will prob- ably be able to win the State Championship for the school next year. During t 160 ) 19 2 0 AURORA 19 2 0 our basketball season twelve games have been played and we met with defeat only three times, two defeats coming from East Lansing and the other from Battle Creek. This work of the team is all due to Mrs. Riese. She made our team what it was and, as I said before, never enough praise can be given her. We all hope that she will be able to coach our next year team and then we will he positive of winning all the games that are seheduled for them. We wish the team of “’20-’21” success. Class Games Quite a few class games were played this year. The captains of the dif- ferent grades were: Senior—Vera Cates Junior—Elizabeth Symons Sophomore—Henrietta McIntyre Freshman—Lucile Daily All the teams were good but the Senior and Freshman teams seemed to excell the other two. The Freshmen won quite a few games as they had two very good guards, who kept the forwards from scoring. The guards were L. Daily and H. Car- lisle. Joyce Pettis was their star forward. The Sophomore team was composed of good material but it seemed as though luck was against them. I he Juniors also had a very good team hut their victories were not numerous. F. JOHNSON.

HOME DAIRY COMPANY Accountancy and Business Administration THIS is the age of big business — the age of vast organizations, many of them not only country-wide but world-wide in scope and compass. Within these organizations are countless positions requiring trained organizing, executive and administrative ability. This demand has never been filled, while today it is far greater than ever before. THE PACE COURSE THE unlimited demand for accountancy-trained men and women has prompted the Bliss-Alger College to introduce the Pace Course in Accountancy and Business Administration. It is our belief that this is the most comprehensive and most complete course of its kind pub- lished; and we take pleasure in announcing that as soon as classes can be formed, this will become a part of our regular curriculum in both Day and Evening School. YOUR OPPORTUNITY IF YOU expect to make Business your life-work, this is your oppor- tunity. We have found that scores — yes, hundreds — of Saginaw young people have enrolled for Correspondence Courses of this char- acter and have failed to accomplish results because of the lack of per- sonal instruction. In the establishment of a Resident School in this city, you have a rare opportunity to receive this special training under the direction of expert accountants. IF ( 1 are interested in the subject of accounting, auditing or the C. P. A. (Certified Public Accountant) examinations, you should ob- tain our special catalog on Accountancy and Business Administration. Registration should he made at once, as classes will soon he formed. 423 Genesee Ave. KODAKS Eastman Supplies We develop Films, Packs and Plates. We use Velox paper.
