PHYLLIS BRADY Fellow Students and Friends: It has been given to the Valedictorian to deliver the farewell of the Class, but the President also has the privilege of saying a few parting words. The thought of graduation has always caused a feeling of pride and personal satisfaction. It has been the spur to guide us onward and now we can say that we have done our best. We have done our best. We have proved that we are not quitters. The thought of graduation also carries with it a feeling of regret. We have met here as a class for the last time. In our High School career we have formed friendships with each other which have been encouraged by the close relations of our High School life; but in every life there are pauses and interruptions, points where one kind of action ceases and another begins and so it is with us. Today we stand upon the threshhold of the future. Some will continue in their scholastic training but for many this completes the training for life’s battles. The past has been a series of preparations and experiences, each determined by the preparation which had been given toward it. Our High School course has been a means of preparation to enable us to meet the problems of the future. Commencement is a step in advance in the progress of our lives. In this period of unrest let us be good citiezns. Let us stand for everything that is honorable and .just. Let us take an active interest in the affairs of our nation. What have we gained in this four years of our career? Not the accumulation of a large number of facts concerning languages or science, but “Character” formed from the assimila- tion of studies coupled with observation and experience gained through different school activities. In behalf of the Class I wish to thank the Faculty. It is through their willing help and guiding hands that we have been able to complete these four years of our training. Their reward will be the satisfaction of knowing that their teaching has gone to make strong character and loyal, useful citizens.

S. three hun- dred and seven strong, with trembling hearts and quaking knees to conquor the world of Higher learning. There was a combination of imagination and expectation in- stilled in our very beings. We had heard great tales of the wond- ers that Saginaw High School held—and now we were going to be part of them. After the terror had gradually subsided and we became ac- customed to the jolts and jokes of upperclass men, we called our first class meeting and elected the following officers to guide our wavering footsteps that year—for we were but Freshmen then— President—Arthur Popp. Vice-President—Dorothy Schupp. Secretary—Kenneth White. Treasurer—Julia Morley. It was also decided that since all great people have a flag to represent them ours should be Gold and White. In February we held our first class party which was called the “Freshmen Frolic.” This was indeed a joyful affair. An enter- tainment was given which consisted of fancy dances by Adelaide Bartlett and Chalmers McGregor and musical selections by Mary Reinhardt, Gordon Goodfellow, Miss Pearson and the school orches- tra. As we lingered at this Frolic with our fellow students, our names pinned securely upon us, we became better acquainted with them. Time passed very quickly and at last we welcomed with glad hearts the summer vacation, acknowledging that we had profitted by the perhaps rather painful experience of being Freshmen. SOPHOMORES—1918-19. Our vacation came to a close all too soon and we returned a little older and we hope just a little bit wiser. We determined to make this year more succssful than the preceeding one. Many of our 307, who had been with us as Freshmen, had left our ranks for various reasons and we certainly missed them. This year at our first class meeting as Sophomores we elect- ed the following officers to help to make the year run more smoothly. President—Paul Sutherland. Vice-President—Helen O’Hare. Secretary—Gordon Goodfellow. Treasurer—Grace Field. As we were not Freshmen any more but Sophomores, we faced the pressing crowds of upper class men with greater courage. In March we had our Sophomore Spread, which was a great success. The Gym was decorated very prettily for the affair. An attractive program was given after which there was a grand march led by the President and Vice-President. Of course we must not forget the “eats” which were enjoyed by all these hungry mortals. We lost much time on account of the “Flu” which caused the schools to be closed but Old Father Time certainly did move quick- ly and it seemed no time before we were leaving S. H. S. for the second time in our career. JUNIORS—1919-20. For the third time we entered the imposing edifice of know- ledge having completed half of our course at S. H. S. The following officers were elected at our first class meeting as Juniors. President—Nelson Bitterman. Vice-President—Dorothy Kondal. Secretary—Clarence Barth. Treasurer—Harriet Kren. The big event of our Junior year was the Junior Play entitled “When Smith Stepped Out.” It was given two nights with a prac- tically different cast each time. The play proved very successful. School was again closed on account of another epidemic of the “Flu.” When we returned we found that we had to work harder than ever to pay for our long vacation. We bade farewell to our glorious Junior year knowing that we were at last prepared to become dignified Seniors. SENIORS—1920-21. For the fourth and last time we entered S. H. S. feeling with pleasure our position as Seniors and knowing well the awe we in- spired in the hearts of the little Freshmen. This year we selected with great care our officers, realizing that their duties were more numerous and of more importance than those of the officers of thethree preceeding years. President—Albert Mavis. Vice-President—Helen Grainger. Secretary—William Winston. Treasurer—Phyllis Brady. The Senior Play was given the 11th of March and proved to be a tremendous success. It was the first time that a drama had been attempted. Our happy career at S. H. S. was nearly at an end and we were loathe to leave the school where we had combined pleasure with work. Whatever we are in the future—whether fame and fortune comes to us, we must admit that a great part of the credit should be attributed to those who aided and taught us in Saginaw High School. MARGARET PENOYER. Class of Nineteen-Twenty-One The time has come to bid farewell To High School joys we’ve loved so well, For we must leave these thronging halls, To answer to Life’s future calls. As Freshmen we were of the usual kind, And we found it rather hard to mind And figure out our own affairs, Or keep from falling down the stairs. But our Freshmen days flew all too fast. And our days of verdancy soon passed, As Sophomores we resolved to show That ‘21 was far from slow. They laughed at us, but what cared we ? Our hearts were then so light and free, Why should we think of toil and care, When all the world then seem so fair ? This was the spirit of our Sophomore days, Though we tried somewhat to mend our ways; Grew more solemn, and strove to hear The challenge of the Junior year. Our Junior year brought many a pleasure; Still thots of the “Furnace” vacations we treasure, When for weeks we had no fear nor worry, No studies to get, no haste, no hurry. But when we returned we worked with a will, And accomplished great things unforgotten still. Oh memories of our Junior Play, Stay with us, do not fade away! Thus 1920 carved us out A group of Seniors just about The finest class that you can guess; And we call our Senior Year “Success.” We are thankful to you, dear Saginaw High, And we are sure that as time goes by, We’ll be glad that we heeded your golden rule And didn’t give up till we finished school. 4__ - V t Ah yes, the time has quickly flown, But the members of our class have shown That ‘21 did bring success, And hopes for future happiness! BELLE CLINKOFSTINE. The Wanderer. The wand’ring fever in me burns, For some new land my spirit yearns, Yet none can satisfy; From East to West, from West to East, My wandering has never ceased, And still no peace have I. I’ve traversed many a foreign strand From India to westernland, And everywhere I stray; I’ve stood on many a southern shore, And northern mountains traveled o’er, But nowhere can I stay. Why wander I from day to day, Thus wasting my whole life away, Nor rest in any spot? A spirit whispers, “There’s your goal Where you can satisfy your soul,” And that place find I not. Perchance in Heav’n I”ll find the rest With which, on earth, I’m never blessed, And there can take my fill; If not, when this dull life is over My spirit o’er the earth shall hover In ceaseless wand’ring still. ELIZABETH WHITNEY, ‘21. It was on the night of the Fifteenth of June, of this year, that the Class of 1921 of Saginaw High School, called me to his apartment on South Warren Avenue for the purpose of drawing up his Will. The circumstances connected with drawing up this Will and the manner in which his desires were expressed, were so rare and unusual that I think it is fitting and proper that what he said in regard to this should be put down in full. It would seem a pity to destroy the noble sentiment manifested by him, by expressing it in legal language. It is for this reason that I have made it a binding and essential provision that his words on that occasion, which I have saved, should be made a part of the Will itself and shall always be read in connection with it. These words were as follows: “Since my birth away back in 1909 I have been guided by the sole purpose that some day I might have an opportunity to do a great service for my country and mankind in general. It was with this purpose in mind that I attempted to train each member of my body, with the help of patient and loving pedagogues, so that he or she might be able some day to contribute largely to society. All through my career I have striven to do small bits of good here and there, so that, if I should never accomplish any great good, nevertheless, I should not have lived in vain. “I have set the 24th of June of this year as the date when I shall make my last and greatest contribution to society. On that date I am to give my body into the hands of the Great Alchemist to dismember and use in any manner He so desires. Some He will doubtless use to more advantage than others, but I sincerely hope and trust that He will use all for some service, be it ever so lowly. “Realizing that the time is not very far off when I shall pass from this world, I have called you to witness my last Will and Testament. It is my desire that you draw it up in legal form, which document I shall sign. The signing of this will be my last earthly responsibility. “My possessions are not numerous. I first desire that all my just debts and expenses be paid in full. The money left, amounting to about a thousand dollars, I desire given to increase the growing Alumni Scholarship Fund. I wish to leave my most sincere appreciation and richest blessing for those who deserve so much at my hands, my patient and loving instructors. There are a number of things which are dear to my heart and memory that are worthless to anyone else. I mention these that I may rest with the firm conviction that they are being properly looked after and cared for. I desire that the Class of 1922 care for and treat in a manner befitting such an instrument, the highly prized Class Horn. All other matter which was once mine I desire to be used by any one who will care for it and do the most good with it. I do not care to specify other articles or persons. To my friends who have not been before mentioned I leave “Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love.” The feeling with which he said this and the high purpose that it would have been sacriligious to destroy it by speech. I therefore took my leave quietly without disturbing him, for the purpose of drawing up the Will. Sometime later I returned with the Will in legal form to find him still sitting in the same position, meditating. Not a word was spoken. He signed the Will with- out reading it, mechanically. I took his hand and pressed it firmly, sad loathe to say good-bye. 1 again left without a word, and carefully recorded the Will which read: “I, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty One, of the Saginaw High School, of the City of Saginaw, in the County of Saginaw, of the State of Michigan, being of sound mind and mem- ory, do make, publish and declare this to be my last Will and Testament, in the manner following, to wit: ARTICLE ONE: I direct that my just debts and expenses be paid in full. ARTICLE TWO: I direct that all money left by me be given to increase the Alumni Scholarship Fund. ARTICLE THREE: I leave my richest blessing and most sincere regard and appreciation to the Faculty of Saginaw High School. ARTICLE FOUR: I direct that the Class of 1922 care for and cherish the Class Horn. ARTICLE FIVE: I direct that all other property which now belongs to me, be used by those who will derive the most good therefrom, the Executor of this Will to be the judge thereof. I do hereby nominate and appoint Mr. J. W. Langdon Exe- cutor of this my last Will and Testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this, the Fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty One. CLASS OF 1921. On this the Fifteenth day of June One Thousand Nine Hun- dred and Twenty One A. D., the Class of 1921 of Saginaw High School, of the City of Saginaw, of the County of Saginaw, in the State of Michigan, signed the foregoing instrument in my pre- sence and declared it to be his last Will and Testament, and as witness thereto I do now at his request in his presence hereto subscribe my name. PAUL H. SUTHERLAND. The Class of 1921 began its social career four years ago when our Freshmen Frolic took place in the High School Gym- nasium. We were received by the members of the Faculty and our Class Officers (where was our President?) and an enjoyable entertainment was provided. Tense interest was aroused by Nel- son Bitterman’s talent as a magician and a fancy dance was given by Adelaide Bartlett. The program came to a close with a grand march led by Dorothy Schupp and Frantz Drier and dancing followed. Our Sophomore Spread, given on the first day of spring, was an appropriate event for starting the season well. The decora- tions consisted of various colored streamers and balloons of brill- iant hue, hanging from the ceiling and balcony of the gym. The main feature of the entertainment was a movie acted by Gordon Goodfellow, Charles Sommers, Mary Field, Grace Field, Doro- thy Kiely, Sears Herbert and Vernon Andrews. Mary Rein- hardt’s Spanish songs and a Grecian dance by Adelaide Bart- lett were also enjoyed. An attractive luncheon was served in the dining room in four relays, after which a mysterious fortune- teller afforded interesting amusement.. Dancing concluded the evening’s entertainment. For the first time in the history of our School, our Junior Play was presented two nights instead of one. “When Smith Stepped Out” was given at the Masonic Temple, May 28th and 29th, and a different cast was used each time. Both performances were exceptionally fine and the play proved a great success. Our Junior-Senior picnic was given on a lovely June clay at Wenona Beach. Lunch baskets were prepared and cars left the Interurban station at ten o’clock in the morning. The day was spent in swimming, taking pictures, and many other amusements. In the evening all started for home, tired but happy. The Senior Play this year was of unusual merit. Charles Rann Kennedy’s “The Servant in the House” was given at the Auditorium, March 11. This play is a serious drama and there- fore attracted many people who would otherwise not have cared to attend. The High School Orchestra furnished the music be- tween acts. Dancing was enjoyed until twelve o’clock. The numerous All-School parties have been a source of plea- sure to the majority of our class. The Class of 1921 has also taken an active part in the Ly- ceum, Thencean. and Amphion parties during the past four years. Our final parting leaves with us the memory of many plea- sant social activities during our four brief years at Saginaw High School. EDNA PARTH. editors I. DUBY. P.

Jigqs' Tlight Out By Bernice Stafford. Pleasing Production. “Jiggs’ Night” introduced Morton Stewart and Beryl Rock to a delighted audience of Saginaw theatregoers. These talented principals provided entertainment amply sufficient for one evening, without the very ade- quate support given by the accom- plished supporting company. A not- able character sketch was given by Emilie Pohlman, in the role of a bell hop, her dancing especially being very skilful, and the chorus composed of Gladys Spring, Leona Pitch, Ann Over ton, and Annetta Paulitz proved un- usually competent. Did the space permit mch might be said of the work and pleasing voice of Mr. McGavock, in his singing numbers which aroused a furore of enthusiasm. The Class of ’21 has presented two plays during its career, the Senior and Junior Play. The Senior Play “THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE” Former Senior Classes had always produced a comedy. The Twenty-ones believed that it would be more appropriate to present something of a serious character, a play with a lesson, a drama which should leave a lasting impression. A topic of this kind was found in the “Servant in the House.” It was given at the Auditor- ium, March 11, 1921 ,in a splendid setting and to an appreciative audience. CAST. James Ponsonby Makeshyfte, D. D., the Most Reverend The Lord Bishop of Lancashire....Mr. Milton Greenbaum The Reverend William Smythe, Vicar...............Mr. Edwin Kepke Auntie, The Vicar’s Wife..............Miss Doris Opperman Mary, their Niece....................Miss Marion Pardridge Mr. Robert Smith, a gent of necessary occupation.Paul Sutherland Rogers, a Page Boy...............................Herbert Spence Manson, a Butler...................................Sears Herbert Time—An Early Morning in Spring. Place—An English Country Vicarage. The scene is laid in the household of the Vicar, William Smythe. The lives of the different members of his family are dis- torted and complicated for the reason that he has failed to become the person God intended him to be. The Vicar has attained some prominence as a Churchman and a scholar largely at the expense of his brother, Robert Smith. Robert, being trodden upon by the Vicar, has reached the lowest level of life, ekeing out an existence as a drain man. His little daughter, Mary, has been taken away from him by the Vicar and his wife, who have kept her in ignor- nace of her father. The wife has no sympathy for poor Robert. Her worldly ambitions have carried her far beyond that. To make her husband successful, to advance him in society has been the goal toward which she is striving. She tries to argue the Vicar into the belief that he has not done wrong, but it ;s useless for he feels the weight of his guilt. In addition to this mental burden the Vicar finds his church badly in need of repairs. But since he is financially embarrassed, he must seek outside aid. So the Vicar’s wife calls upon her brother, The Lord Bishop of Lancashire, to help. In the meantime Manson has arrived, the central figure of the Play. He is the third brother of the Smith family and coming from India in disguise has obtained the position as butler in the Vicar’s household. The purpose of his coming in this manner is to reunite the Smith family. He starts by getting rid of the Lord Bishop. The Bishop has been found to be a slave of the almighty dollar rather than a minister of the Lord. He has come to rebuild the church with the intention of making money from the project. Manson, however, frustrates his plan and shows him the door. The Vicar’s wife now sees that her worldly ambitions have brought misery to her unhappy husband. Manson has also inspired Mary with the desire to know more about her father. He brings the drain man to the house where the latter meets his “little girl.” She does not know him at the time but takes a great liking to him. The kind ways and the big heartedness of the uncouth but “nice man” are real food for Mary’s troubled mind and finally daughterly in- stinct tells her that Robert can be none other than her own father. The Vicar sees Mary has discovered the truth and receives Robert into his household and greatly relieves his guilty conscience. Man- son, his intentions fulfilled, makes himself known as the third bro- ther, the Bishop of Banares of India. He has reunited the Smith family in his own quiet way, free from all spectacular effects, thru sheer strength of character applying all Christian principles of which he is shown to be a true exponent. The seriousness of the play is relieved by several comic features. The near sighted, nearly deaf—Bishop of Lancashire, the uncouth, uncultured Rob- ert and the inquisitive page boy, Rogers, are largely responsible for amusement. The cast interpreted the parts with great ability, showing hard work and study and application to details. The success also reflects upon H. Dana Hopkins, the director, whose ceaseless and untiring efforts made the play possible. Junior Play “WHEN SMITH STEPPED OUT” Our Junior Play was presented at the Masonic Temple, May 28th and 29th, 1920. “When Smith Stepped Out” was the play chosen. A double cast had been picked and so was hard to de- cide on some of the characters. We found we had oversold the seating capacity of the hall, so more tickets were issued and the play was given two nights. Four of the eight characters were du- plicated. CAST. First Name, Friday—Second, Saturday. Wm. Horace Smith (Uncle Bill) Milton Greenbaum-Gunther Tiedke George Smith (His Nephew) ....................Edwin Koepke Richard Keene (A Detective) ..George Hesse—Morton Stewart Bob Stanley, (A Wooer) ...,.................. Sears Herbert Mrs. George Smith (Nellie) Genevieve Kerr—Catherine Goodrich Muriel Armitage (Her younger sister.Ethel Bushroe Helen O’Hare Miss Winslow ( A Spinster) ................Doris Oppermann Hilda (Maid).................................... Isabel Duby George and Nellie Smith, a newly married young couple, are leading a happy, uneventful life until his Uncle Bill arrives from Australia to pay them a visit, Uncle Bill is a rich bachelor, who, according to the doctor’s orders, always steps out for a walk in the evening. He is absent-minded and on this particular evening leaves his watch at home. Even against the advice of his nephew he carries his revolver. Now Nellie’s sister, Muriel, has a beau by name of Bob who as yet has not seen Uncle Bill. Coming over to call on Muriel that evening Bob meets Uncle Bill on a dark street and asks him for a match. Walking a few steps Uncle Bill feels for his watch, cannot find it, and at once suspects Bob of having picked his pockets. He runs after him, levels his revolver and de- mands the watch. Bob, thinking he is held up, hands over his watch. Uncle Bill, having lost his hat in the excitement, returns home bare headed. He arrives just after Bob and Muriel leave to notify the police and finds that he has left his own watch at home and has robbed an unknown man. He confides in his nephew and between them the watch is kept on the move. Keene the de- tective who has found Uncle Bill’s hat, is hot on the trail. But it is not only detectives Uncle Bill must dodge, for there is a spin- ster next door desperate for a husband and she is simply going to get him or die in the attempt. Nellie, thru the frequent visits of detective Keene, has become suspicious of Uncle Bill and believes him to be an imposter. Hilda also shows her dislike for him. But all this excitement does not affect the love affair of Muriel and Bob. Thru Miss Winslow, the spinster, Uncle Bill learns that Bob had been his victim and in the hair-line finish gets the stolen watch back into Bob’s pocket. Just as Uncle Bill is on his way to the police station Bob finds the stolen watch in his pocket. This clears Uncle Bill and proves his innocence. Muriel and Bob an- nounce their engagement and Uncle Bill, to celebrate the glad event, invites them into dinner. The play was a great success. It is sufficient to say that every one of the cast was deserving of the highest praise for excellent work. This play was also directed by Mr. H. D. Hopkins. GUNTHER TIEDKE. Friendship wasn’t made to barter As men barter merchandise; God made friendship to ennoble And to sweeten lives.” How many of us realize that one of the greatest blessings be- stowed upon man, is the privilege of having a friend, or a privilege of being a friend? It is a blessing in the truest sense of the word because true friendship does away with selfishness and encourages sincerity, loyalty, and appreciation. Even though we are seeking material ambitions in life, in our sincerest moments we admit that we walk among worlds unrealized until we have a friend in whom we may confide. True friendship brings spiritual satisfaction and, in comparison with this, all wmrldly success is failure. We may be self-absorbed and self-centered, but it is only as we turn away from self that we can experience that joy which comes when we make the great discovery that we count for something in the lives and experience of others. One often hears that the sentiment of friendship is now obso- lete and, indeed, if he regards the comparative place of this subject in ancient and modern literature he may justify such a statement. In pagan writings, friendship holds a very large place. We find that the works of Plato, Aristotle, Epictetus and Cicero dealt with this subject especially. In the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle makes Friendship the link of connection between his treatise on Ethics and his compan- ion treatise on Politics. Friendship is not only a noble thing for man, but the realization of it is also the ideal for the state; for, if citizens be friends justice, which is the great concern of all organ- ized societies, is more than secured.. And so friendship is made the flower of the ethics and the root of politics. Friendship is a necessity of life. Therefore, even though it is not stressed so much in modern literature, it is by no means an ob- solete sentiment. It is just as true now as it was in olden times, that no one would care to live without friends, even though he had all other good things. Moreover, it is possible today, as ever, to have a generous friend who forgets self. The history of mankind indicates that many such relationships have existed throughout the past. In the lit- erature of every country we have records of true friendship which show that for a good friend men have even dared to die. The hu- man race has been glorified by countless silent heroisms by unsel- fish service, and by the loving sacrifice of friends, more than all others. Jesus set the standard for friendship when he said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” And this great Exemplar was willing even to give up his material sense of life for the sake of humanity. A typical friendship is represented by the classic instance of David and Jonathan. On their first meeting they knew each other to be nearer than kindred, and as a result of their devotion, Jona- than forgot his pride and David his ambition. The world was changed for them as if by the smile of God, and one was saved from the temptations of a squalid court, while the other was spared the bitterness of an exile’s life. There was no sense of disparity be- tween the king’s son and the shepherd boy. Their friendship soft- ened a very trying time for both of them, and such a gift as each gave and received cannot be bought or sold. To experience the joy of comradeship, we must learn to be patient and we must realize that “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We cannot truly know anything without sympathy, without getting out of self and entering others. A man cannot be a naturalist and observe the ways of birds and insects accurately unless he can watch long and lovingly. Until love gives us the key the house of life is locked to us, and we obtain this key by first learning that the glory of life is to love, not to be loved. If we have learned what a sacred thing a true friendship is, we may speak of the culture of friendship. This is not a common thing to be picked up in the street. As we seek for wisdom, so must we seek for friendship, and to keep it demands much care and thought. The reason we have few true friendships is that we are not willing to pay the price of friendship. We would like to get the good of our friends, without burdening ourselves with any respon- sibility about keeping them friends. We lament because we have no staunch and faithful friend, when we have not extended the love which produces such. It is our duty to cultivate friendship. Such a state of love and trust and comradeship may exist, that one can feel safe to be himself because he knows that he will not be easily misunderstood. No material success in life is compar- able to this success in friendship. We may let the flame of friendship flicker and go out, or we may use its pure light to bless our lives. It may have seemed to us a miracle with its infinite wonder and beauty, but many times this conception will become blurred and the glory will seem to fade. Then it is for us to prove that, since friendship is based on love, it must be everlasting. The very best and briefest summary for the culture of friendship is found in the Golden Rule. There must be eagerness to keep in touch with each other and a real and genuine effort to understand each other. We may see, in a friend faults which detract from his worth and then it is our privilege to help remove through patience and loving kindness what may be flaws in a fine character. But we must never forget the great virtues of our friend because of a few blemishes. The first requisite in making a friend is “trust.” We can never be anything but alone if we are constantly suspicious and if we have no openness of mind. On the contrary we must be willing to give ourselves freely and unreservedly. And after we have gained a friend, there must be “faithfulness” in order to keep him since “faithfulness” is the fruit of “trust.” To keep this friendship sweet, we must be thoughtful. There are little kindnesses, little acts, of consideration, appreciations of trifling kindnesses, and little confidences which always guaran- tee our faithfulness. We must never look upon friendship as merely a convenience. Its great value lies in the opportunities which it affords for the expressions of our loyalty through ser- vice. If the culture of friendship is to reach its goal, it must de- velop into the consecration of friendship, and there can be no per- manent fellow-ship unless the deepest things of love are shared, unless there is community in the highest thoughts and sympathy with the best endeavors. To be a strong hand in time of need, is to know the glory of life. There is nothing so important as the choice of friendship, for it both reflects character and affects it. A man is known by the company he keeps, because his thoughts, desires, ambitions and loves are revealed here. The sphere of a person affects his char- acter because it is the atmosphere he breathes. Especially when people are very near to each other and when there is little dis- guise in their relationship, the law of spiritual environment acts upon them. In the choice of our friends, we may err by being too cautious and too exclusive in our attachments, or we may go to the other extreme and easily make many friends without much consideration of quality. We cannot allow disdain to close our eyes to the true estimate of man but neither is it wise to think that every new comrade is the friends of our heart, that every casual acquaintance is he one in whom we may confide. We may be courteous, gentle and kind to all, but to all it is not possi- ble to open the sanctuary of our heart. The history of every true friendship is the brief description of Emerson: “My friends have come to me unsought; the great God gave them to me.” Un- sought—yes but it is always the principles we set before us which determine the kind of friends we draw toward us. In the choice of friendship it is necessary to know what to reject. We each have a duty in allowing only our true selves to be manifested, and we cannot afford to remain in evil company unless it is to help destroy the sin. We must never allow ourselves to be attracted by what our own feelings tell us is unworthy. Friends should be chosen by a higher principle than any worldly one of pleasure or usefulness. They should be chosen for sin- cerity, truth, and faithfulness, because they are in sympathy with our best thoughts, because they constantly see only our true selves, and because they are loyal and steadfast. A friendship, like all else in life is known by its fruits. In this age, men ask regarding everything. “What is its practical value?” The reason that we gather many wonderful fruits from friendship lies in the fact that its very principle is one of asso- ciation, of co-operation. When men first learned that in union there is strength, the dawn of civilization began and it was through seeking disciples, founding a society, that Jesus of Nazareth moved the world to its heart. Through friendship we feel ourselves united to the race—no longer isolated units, but a part of the sweep of great social forces that mould mankind. First of the fruits of friendship is “satisfaction of the heart.” We cannot live a self-centered life without feeling that we are missing the true glory of life. The sweetest and most stable plea- sures are never selfish; they are derived from fellowship, from common tastes and mutual sympathy. Sympathy is not needed merely in adversity; it is needed when the sun shines as well. Many times it may seem much easier to sympathize with a friend’s failure than to be true-hearted in con- gratulating its success. But a perfect friendship has no room for malice, envy, or jealousy. Jealousy is an ignoble vice be- cause it has its roots in egotism. Friendship brings perfect peace when it is shared in the deepest thoughts and highest aspirations, when it is built on a common faith and live by a common hope. A third fruit of friendship is the “direct help” it can give mind” which comes from honest counsel. A faithful friend can be trusted not to speak soft words of flattery. He may have to say that which may wound our selfesteem; he may speak for cor- rection rather than for commendation, but “Faithful are the wounds of a friend,” because he seeks our good always. A true friend will never needlessly hurt, but will speak the truth in love, and will not let occasions slip because of cowardice. A third fruit of friendship is the “direct help’ ’it can give us in the difficulties of life. It gives strength of character and it sobers and steadies, through the responsibility which each feels for the other. When men face the world together and are ready to stand shoulder to shoulder, the sense of comradeship makes each strong. All the fruits of friendship spring from the root of influence, and influence cannot rise above the level of our lives. The re- sult of our friendship on others will ultimately be determined by the sort of persons we are. This consideration shows that friendship adds a very sacred responsibility to life, and, as we realize this each one of us wil strive to prove himself worthy to be called a true friend. MARION HUNT. Hard boiled Egqs It was a lovely sprint day. We’d riz up early as was our custom an’ Sam had went to the field .little Tommy taggin’ at his heels an’ gettin’ in the way, generally. Little Cecily brown-eyed an’ dimply, was a-settin’ in her high-chair watchin me iron. Suddint she give a shuckle an’ pinted one chubby finger. She cud see outen the door over my head an’ whut she see wus Sis Hopkins a-pickin’ her way through the hollyhocks an’ wet grass. “All-day visit,” sez I. not very pleasant, I guess. “Hope she’s brung her knittin’ ‘cause I caint stop ironin’ to show her the fam’ly alb’um ner entertain her a-tall. Whut’ll I do?” It turned out she’s brung her knittin ’an’ sets down real so- ciable by an open winder where she can stop an’ sniff the crab- apple blossoms I hed put in an old, brown, cracked pitcher “Cecily,” sez she, “whut you work so hard fer? It don’t get you nowheres. Look at me! I jest pull up stakes an’ quit my work. An’ yet I always hev a row of pies an’ a jar uv cookies on my pantry shelf.” “Oh! “I sez, kind uv riz up to be criticized, “you hain’t got no man.” Mis’ Hopkins, she throws up her han’s with a gesture uv re- lief. “No, thank the Lord, I havn’t.” She pauses then her curiosity gits the best uv her, an’ lennin’ forward, she sez, “Tell me, Cecily aint a man a lot uv trouble?” I pauses, right in my ironin’ an’ sez, slow an’ distine’, “Mis’ Hopkins, ever’thing in the world that’s worth while is a trouble once in a while, an’ I’m proud I kin stan’ up under my troubles an’ an’ not git snowed under.” “But, Cecily,” she asks, “are you sure you’re not gittin’ snowed under? Seems to me, ye’re not as fresh an’ young as you wus once.” “Prob’ly not,” sez I, sarcastic, “Ye’re bound to git older ever’- day. You can’t put your foot down an’ say, “I’ll stay twenty ’til next leap year, although some folks says they’re twenty ’til the’ir grey hairs gives ’em away. “Well,” she says, “I don’t like it. I wished you’d put a stop to it. That’s why I come.” “Mis’ Hopkins,” sez I, “you may think it right an’ proper to come to a person an’try to manage her affairs, but beKgin’ yer parding,” sez I, “I don’t;” I sez, just. like that, “I don’t.” Cecily chile, take that pin outen yer mouth, quick” Miss Hopkins just sit and stared at me a long time. “Well, Cecily, seems like yere gitten’ mighty hefty towards yer elders, but, law, chile, I’ll forgive ye.” “Better wait ’tel ye’re asked,” sez I, under my breath. We set a spell in silence, ‘til our spat blew over as they alius do, an ’then Sis sez, suddint: “You hain’t heerd my plan.” “No,” sez I, “tell me what it is.” “Well,” Sis settled down in her cheer, like she wuz startin’ on a’ ocean trip an’ I knew the story wuz a long ’un, “I wuz set- tin”, knitten,’ tother day, an’ thinks I, “we hain’t been havin’ the the goo dtimes we uster have! When I was a young ’un, we had house warmin’s, an‘ spelling matches, and huskin’ parties, an’ quiltin’ bees. Them huskin’s was fun; ev’rytime a girl got red ear uv corn, if a feller seen it, he kissed her. “That,” adds Mis’ Hopkins, virtuous, “wuz before I knowed the wily ways o’ men. Unstiddy creeters, is men, an’ I don’t trust none. But we did have fun. I uster dress real peart, too. O’ course the dressed wus diffrent from them nowadays. I hed a nice blue muslin with flounces an’ tucks an’ little lace ruffles an’ my dear, I wore—five petticoats. An’ I uster curl my hair—ain’t I never tole you that?” “But surely. Mis’ Hopkins,” sez I, with a gleam of mischiey in my eye, “surely there wuz some object in these careful prepara- tions fer a party. A girl likes to look nice, you know, hopin’ some- one’ll see her.” “Yer meanin ’is plain,” sez Sis, wisely, “An’ I might as well amit I hed admirers. But when a’offered come, I’d think of wash- days an’ drunken wife-beaters ,an’ a man with a piece uv smokin’ corn-cob in his mouth, settin ’acrost from me o’ nights, fussin, ‘bout the way the crops wuz doin ’an’ wishin’ he had a corn-plas- ter fer his little toe. That tuk the starch outen me an’ I hadn’t the courage to face it. An’ I sez ‘No’ to ev’ry man an’ he went off vowin’ hed drown hisself an’ ended up by marryin ’a pretty young curly-head in pink silk. But there, I s’pose you git tired uv hear- in’ an’ old woman ramble on. That wu zin the good old days when I did my hair in curls an’ looked at my dimples in a little cracked mirror in the kitchen. It’s different now; a girl puts a curlin’ iron in the fire an’ makes ridiculous frizzles in her hair an’ piles over her pretty ears an ’puts on a lot o pink stuff, then covers it up with powder, an’ then her Johnny comes along in a chuggin’ gasoline thing I wouldn’t ride to my funeral in, an’ they spin off to the city to see one of them movin’ pitcher shows that ruins a girl’s eyes, an’ sense’ an’ morals. At ‘leven o’clock at night they sets down to ice-cream sody er somethin’ similar an’ then don’t git in ‘til after midnight An’ all next day the girl’s so sleepy her eyes jest droops. Now that ain’t my ide of hevin’ a good time If we we cud jest git back to natur,” sez she, “ef we only could!” “Well,” sez I, patient, ‘‘but you haven’t told me yer plan.” “Oh!” sez she, “my plan. Well, I’m jest a-comin' to it. You don’t want to hurry me, Cecily, honey ,er I’ll git all confused. My plan wuz for ev’ry Ladies’ Aide an’ her husband er any one she wants t oinvite uv of the masculin gnder, outside the fambly, refer- rin’, o’ cours, to the two old maids an’ the Widder Bartlett (that ev’ry one knows ’ud invite Deacon Grayson) shud take a day off and go on a picnic an’ each bring somethin’ to eat, only no tto tell the others whut she’s a bringin’. I remember a picnic like that when I was a youngster, an’ sech a stewin’ as there wuz around our house! My mother baked three cakes ,an’ I tell you she was proud of ’em. There wern’t none better in all the picnic dinner. W’y, I remember ‘s if it hed been yesterday ,the little yaller roses she made on one of ’em. An’ thn, besides—” “Capital idee,” I interrupted, struck terrible favorable by the plan. “When shall we hev it?” Let’s make it real soon so’s we kin hev it jest when the flowers are all out yet.” “Y’spose the others’ll care ef we plan it all out ‘thout them?” asks Sis, anxiously. “Oh! no, they’ll be glad we did the work. Bow about next Friday- Cain’t go on account o’ weedin ’yer flowers? Who wuz it sez somethin’ about bein’ tied down,” I teases. “Well, I take it back,” Sis laughs, goodnatured. “Don’t you think Monday’d suit better?” Well ,we talks it over and finally sets a dae for next Monday week. After dinner, Sis an’ I plans a call-meetin ’o’ the ladies’ Aid. Well, them ladies wuz enthusiastic. We sets the date an’ all agrees to go on the followin’ Monday, bein’ only one week ’til Easter, an’ a nice time fer a picnic, since Easter-time in Indiana meant violets an’ spring beauties, an’ yeller butter-‘n’-eggs, an’ mebbe dog-tooth violets, an’ all the bird’sd be busy buildin’ nests. Well’ ‘twuz exeactly that kind of a day when we set out. I hed thought an’ thought whut I should take fer my part uv of the picnic an’ finally decided on hard-boiled eggs. I knew no one else ud take‘em‘ cause most al lof 'em had children an’ Sunday’d be Easter. Then, too, so many people’d been savin’ up their eggs fer the Easter market. I cud hardly git rid o’ mine down town. So I tuk eggs. Sam hitched up the team to our new top buggy, an’ I put a new pink apron on Little Cecily an’ brushed her yeller curls ,an’ Tommy dressed hisself, an’ we al lstarted out, the egg basket ‘tween me an Sam. ‘Twas jest lovely out, an’ you know how spring strikes men. usually; they wunders why Mr. Simpkins, corn ain’t up as high as theirs, an’ why the seed man don’t send out thet plow, an’ will the potatoes hev to be hoed tomorrow? But Sam wuz so wound up with the spring in the air an’ a vacation fer all day, that he got to actin’ like it wuz in the spring when he pupposed, an’ the very song uv the bluebird sounded sweeter to us. It wuz lovers’ day all around. We got to the picnic ground an set a-lookin’ off into the distance at the river sparklin’ in the sun. Suddint I re- collected that we wuz a-settin’ in the buggey, Sam a-holdin ’my hand, the eggs on the buggy floor between us, an’ there wuz two fam’lies sittin’ on the picnic ground, lookin’ at us. Cecily an’ Tommy hed dumb out an’ wuz more but three of ’em wuz married an’ three hed died, and’ Mis’ Wadsworth looked like a washed-out rag—which ain’t a bit nice fer me to say an’ I’m sorry now that it’s said.) We got out an’ set our baskets on the ground. “What did you bring?” sez Mis’ Peters, in the pert way she hez uv findin’ out things. “Hard-boiled eggs,” sez I, unpinnin’ my hat an’ lettin’ the breeze ruffle my hair. “W’y, so did I,” chimes in Mis’ Wadsworth, “only Dory told me in her last letter to hard-cook ’em; jest set ’em on the back of the stove and let ’em simmer fer forty minutes. It gives ’em a finer grain. Mis’ Peters groans aloud. “I brought ’em too,” she sez. “I like ’em so well with pepper an’ salt. The last time I went to a picnic, the’ were n’t nary a hard-boiled egg. I set there an’ et chicken an’ doughnuts, an’ salad, an’ pie, but I kept missin’ some- thin’. All of a suddent, sez I to myself, sez I. I want hard-boiled eggs.” So I decides I’ll never live through another picnic with- out hard-boiled eggs, an’ that’s why I brung ’em today.” “Well, three baskets ought to be enough,” sez I pleasant like, though my heart was beginnin’ to sink. Then our attention was drawn to a large truck from Ellersville. “That’s the ice-cream,” sez Mis’ Wadsworth, an’ we all troops down to talk to the driver, Donald Cory, a handsome young college chap frum the city, whom everybody loved, an’ most perticler Annabel Richardson, an’ he her. “Ice-cream an’ hard-boiled eggs,” sez I, as Don drove off. We laughed an’ then Mis’ Wadsworth leans near an’ sez, “Here comes the deacon.” We all giggles, for the Deacon meant Widder Bartlett an’ their courtship wuz the subject uv gossip through the countryside. The Widder wore a spriggled muslin with a lot of little lace ruffles an’ ribbon at the next an’ sleeves. Over one are the Deacon hed her pretty colored basket with its fringed napkin, an’ the other—. “Laws a-massy;” sez Mis’ Peters, “he’s got his arm around her!” They stopped under a peach tree, all pink with blossoms, and —but here! It ain’t hardly mor’n right to keep folks’ love scenes from the starin’ public. “An’ her that’ll never see forty again,” sez Mis’ Peters, kinda’ jealous like, I thought. We hurried to meet the Widder, Aramanta, an’ she says gaily, “Can’t guess what I got to eat. Somethin’ no one else’ll have.” We all guessed,—pickles, chicken, salad—an’ she shuck her head an’ dimpled, like she does when the deacon’s watchin.’ “No, ” sez she, “they’re hard boiled eggs.” Mis’ Wadsworth keeled over an’ fainted. She al’ays wuz mighty weak-kneed and puny an’ the least little thing’d purt nigh give her hysterics. We had a hard time revivin’ her, an’ finally, when we got her settin’ up by a tree, the’ wuz autos arrivin’ filled with chatterin, children an’ gay folks who looked like they’ shuck off all care,—that is, the menfolk did. We wimmin wuz lookin’ serious. Mis’ Hopkins, she brung a nice lookin’ basket that I hoped contained nice spring chicken. Oh! no, she wanted to hev, some- thin ’unusual—so she brung hard-boiled eggs. Elmiry Hutchins always hed such lovely doughnuts; but she was tired of bringin’ em so she packed hard-boiled eggs. An’ ev’ry one of the twenty wimmin folks brung hard-boiled eggs, but one, whe hed a whole basket of cans and pickles. To this day, I can’t figger out how we all happened to hit on the same thing to eat-like; Don Cory sez it must a ’been mental t’lepathy, whutever that is, but anyways it’s got somethin’ to do with telephones, an’ sech like. The children wuz gay, the menfolk wuz gay, even the horses hitched to the wagons wuz gay, but us poor wimmin folk! Our twenty baskets was set side by side an’ as each woman was ex- pectin’ to pervide for about eighty people, most all had brung six or seven dozen an’ a few of the weaker ones begun to sniffle— twenty basket sof eggs! Six dozen in each basket! One thou- sand four hundred and forty eggs! W’y seem’s as if I could never look another hen in the face We all set in a row, a snifflin’ an’ a laughin’ by turns. Oh! dear!” sez I, “I hed a big potato salad made for to-mor- row.” “So did I,” moans Mis’ Hopkins, “why didn’t it?” “An’ when I think of the three spring chickens in a bucket hangin ’in our well, waitin’ to be fried tomorrow, I could cry,” chimes in Mis’ Wadsworth. An’ my pantry’s full of pies,” sez Mis’ Holworthy. An’ so they talked .each tellin’ whut she could have brung. Suddint’ Mis’ Bartlett set up an’ began to chuckle. “E’f we’d drive ‘round in a hay wagon an’ get all that stuff,” sez she, “we’d hev a swell dinner. It would only take ‘til noon, an’ a hayride is sech fun!” “But the eggs!” moans Mis’ Hartom. “It’s only a week till Easter, an’ you can use some of the eggs then sez Mis’ Hopkins. “But not mor’nhalf uv 'em,” sez Mis’ Wadsworth. “Even my young’uns needn’t expect so many with eggs a-soarin’ like they is now.” “Ladies,” sez Mis’ Bartlett, soft an’ sweet, “the deacon’s been tellin’ me of the need of things to eat in Ellersville. Couldn’t we give a public Easter for the children. Git up a few songs an’ a drill in the public square, an’ divide the colored eggs. I think it would be lovely.” Well, we talks it over, an’ decided tomeetWednesday an’ color eggs, an’ I tell you, them eggs led to clothin’ an’ bread an’ meat for the poor uv Ellerville. As to the hayride, it was glorious. We went to Sis Hopkins’ house first. Sis was used ter drivin’ so we let her drive the hosses. An’ we all snuggled down in the hay ‘til seed was all over our dress- es ‘n’ eeverything. The sun down on our backs, but we most- ly hed sunbonnets so we didn’t mind. We started out a funny cot- ton-tail an’ went into fits over a snake. The’ wuz robins, an’ blue- birds an’ Kentucky cardinals out singin’ ever’where, an’ one lone- some crow cawin’ fer dear life. We drove through a stretch uv woods, where the ground was all wet an’ soggy with dead leaves, but peepin’ through the leaves wuz violets ,an’ little spring beauties an’ tender pale-green ferns. The’ wuz the brook, singin’ as gay as you please, an’ in the fields the daisies wuz buddin.’ Oh! it wuz glorious! We collected pies, lemon tarts .spring chicken, potato salad ,an’ ever’thing imaginable. We hed a elegant din- ner, only Tommy hauls out a handful of worms durin’ the meal an’ dropped one in the deacon’s lemonade. But Mis Bartlett kisses the yaller crown uv curls, an’ the dea- con, bein’ somewhat weak to resist the temptations an’ the lusts of the flesh, leans over and kisses her on the lips. “There. John, for shame!” sez she, sozy red an’ lookin’ real pretty, “behave yerself an’ eat yer dinner. You haven’t even eat’ a single hard-boiled egg:” ALBERTA ROLLER. Friendship Through Perseuerence Jean snatched his battered, torn cap from its nail and hurried out of the creaky school-house door, not waiting for anyone. He looked toward the old wooden pump but some of the boys were al- ready there so he turned and sullenly went home through the woods. Whatever was Jean’s standing in school, he was certainly not popular. With the exception of Ruth Richards, everyone teased him and made him miserable. His father was pitiably poor. There was even a mortgage on his little farm. His mother had died, so he and his father lived alone. Jean’s clothes, which fitted him like those of Ichabod Crane, had been clumsily patched, showing the work of masculine fingers. His lunch uusually con- sisted of dingy bread or pancakes or something else that was left over from breakfast. This had been a particularly unbearable day. Just before the noon hour, it began to rain hard so he could not eat his dinner in the yard where he could find solitude; he had been forced to stay in the building. The boys were worse than ever. Two boys stand- ing by the window saw a scrawny dog cross the road by the school. This suggested a new way to torment Jean. “Say—don’t that dog look hungry? I wonder if Red-head would give him some of his lunch.” “Listen—If you’ll give the dog your lunch, we’ll give you something good to eat.” “Maybe the dog wouldn’t eat his lunch—w'hat then?” At the last remark Jean had walked with dignity to the door, butonce through it he fled to the coal shed where he was disturbed only by the beating: of the rain on the roof. There he stayed until school was called, listening to a little bird which was making its nest in one corner of the building. To-day seemed the climax of his torture. He had determined to quit school. As soon as he reached home he started to get sup- per. It did not take him long to fry the potatoes, cut the thick slices of bread and make the muddy coffee. After the lonesome meal was finished Jean washed the dishes and his father dried them. As he was washing the table with his greasy dish-cloth, he said. “Dad, I just can’t go back to school. You don’t know how mean the boys are. Why, I just can’t stand it.” His father did not answer until all of the dishes were stacked on the back of the table. Then laying his hand on the boy’s should- er, he said, “Lad, we’ve all got to take the hard knocks. You ain’t old enough to quit school now and if you’ve got grit enough to stick, you’ll get learnin’ enough so that you’ll get a good job and earn more money than you kin without it—more than I’ve been able to earn,” he added wistfully. “But Dad, nobody would give me much of a chance, anyhow. They’d give it to some boy like Edmund Johnson—I hate him.” “Don’t you remember Abe Lincoln we was talkin’ about last week? He was just as poor as we are and yet he got to be Presi- dent of the United States.” “Yes, but the Civil War’s what made him President.” “Well, son—he didn’t know that war was comin,’ did he, when he learned himself? You’ve got the same chance he had as far as he knew.” “But the boys are—” “The boys who laughed at you,’’broke in his father, showed they ain’t got no bringin’ up anyhow. Hain’t you got sand enough to stand their slams for a couple of years?” Jean thought for a moment and then answered slowly, “Well, Dad, I—I guess—well, I’ll try to keep at it a little longer.” On the next day as Jean neared the willow bush that was just around the turn from the school, he was overtaken by three of his persecutors. One of them called out to him, “Hello Slats, what’s your hurry? Afraid we’ll get your pancakes?” Jean paused, faced his tormentor, and was about to fling back a retort when a second taunt was thrown at him, “Never mind, we wouldn’t eat your old pancakes anyhow” With a hopeless look Jean turned and hurried to the school house. “Good morning, Jean,” said a pleasant voice. Looking up he saw Ruth Richards comins from the opposite direction. He re- turned her greeting and vagely wondered why the rest counldn’t be as pleasant as she. When Jean reached school, one could be certain that it was nearly time for the classes to begin. The school was comparatively quiet until Jean’s arithmetic class just before recess. The teacher asked several pupils to go to the board to explain a particularly knotty problem in percentage. Most of the pupils were eager to try it because it did not look hard, but one after another they were compelled to give it up. There was a catch in it which usually caught even the keenest. Finally everyone had had a try at it except Jean. He went to the board, read the problem and scowl- ed. For a few minutes his chalk fairly flew on the board. Then he read the problem again, scratched his head, erased what he had done and started over again. He worked almost steadily, stopping only to squint and look far out into the distance and then return to his work with renewed vigor. In a few minutes he was through and proudly made his explanation. “Good for you, Jean. You’re an honor to the class. You may take your seat now,” said the teacher. The school had straight-backed chairs instead of the long re- citation benches which were usually provided. As Jean was about to sit down, 1 is chair miraculously slid backwards and he tumbled and fell to the floor. The teacher, however, had seen what had happened. “Edmund,” he commanded, “will you be so kind as to untie the string and replace the chair for Jean and then—”He stopped abruptly. Edmund was one of the smart boys that one finds in every school who takes, or tries to take, special privileges. This time he thought he had put across a nice trick and looked expectantly at the other boys for their grin of approval. The teacher, in a laudable attempt to take a little of the smart- ness out of Edmund, was trying to decide on the best way to do it. While Edmund was untying the string and sulkily pushing the chair in place, the teacher was glaring at him. Suddenly his brow cleared and he spoke. “Now, will you please tell Jean that you’re sorry?” Edmund did not answer. All of the pupils were breathlessly waiting for what might happen next. There was not a sound any- where in the room except the ticking of the clock; it was so quiet there that when a pin dropped on the floor Ruth Richards jumped nervously. The girl across from her giggled and then stopped abruptly, with a scared look on her face. “Are you going to do as I asked you to?” said the teacher finally, in a dangerously smooth voice. “No,” snarled Edmund, “I’ll never ask his pardon.” “Then take your seat and remain after school.” “I won’t take my seat.” “Oh. won’t you?” The teacher made one lunge ; Edmund was seized by his collar and dragged to his seat. “This is the last prac- tical joke to be tolerated from you, young man.” Edmund sat in sullen silence for the remainder of the session. When the school work for the day was finished, the teacher announced a contest which was to be held in a short time. This contest would include Districts 1, 3 and 4 as well as Green Hollow School, that is District No. 2, their own school. It is an old custom which is still kept up in this community, to have annual contests between different schools. It is the one great event of the year and everyone is wildly excited over it. The pupils of the various schools met at one of the school houses in the after- noon and at stated time the tests begin. The meeting is always in charge of one of the teachers.. In some of the events all of the pupils above stated grades may take part, but in the arithmetic contest four pupils are chosen from each school by their teacher. 1 hen two members of opposing schools are given the same prob- lem and the one who first gets the correct answer wins. He stays at the board and others are matched against him until he is de- feated. Then the victor stays and others who haven’t been defeat- ed are matched against him. This goes on until one has been found who cannot be beaten. In the spelling, geography, history and grammar contests the pupils of all the schools are lined up along the sides of the room and when a person gives a wrong answer to a question asked him, he drops out of the event. The one who answers correctly until everyone has missed, wins the quiz for his school. It was on the day of Edmund’s misfortune that the teacher made the all important announcement. He told the pupils the date that the contest would take place and also the names of the arith- metic contestants. Jean was chosen as one of the representatives for his school. The afternoon session finally came to a close and, when he started home Jean noticed that the boys did not taunt him, although they made no friendly advances toward him. The next few days were busy ones, every pupil working his hardest to prepare himself to help his school during the contest. At last the day came. The visiting schools began to arrive at Green Hollow early in the afternoon. All of the children were impatient for the contest to begin. The girls were dressed in their best ginshams, their hair drawn tightly back with huge ribbons flapping from the ends of their braids. The boys were uncomfort- able though proud in their best clothes. Each one was voiced in declaring the superiority of his own school. At exactly two-thirty the meeting began. Without much difficulty school No. 1 won the history contest. Then the grammar class began. One little girl of District No. 3 with an uncanny knowledge of the structure of an English sentence easily won the laurels in grammar for her school. The pupils in District No. 4 had evidently had maps for their food and drink. Calcutta, Edin- borough, Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Ocean—you couldn’t stump them. They knew within the sixteenth of an inch the exact loca- tion of every spot on the globe. Would Green Hollow win any- thing? Green Hollow pupils were looking disappointed, though they still valiantly cheered for their school. At last the arithmetic contest began. This was always the big event because arithmetic was considered the most important subject in the schools of the valley. A boy from District No. 1 had defeated all those who had tried a problem with him. Only Jean remained undefeated. Would he win or would he fail as the rest had done? Jean took his place beside his opponent. Excitement ran high. The boys seemed equally matched. The pupils from District No. 1 glanced at Jean’s work to see how far he was. When he saw how fast Jean worked, he grew nervous. He worked faster. From time to time he look- ed at Jean’s problem and then turned to his own and hastened on. Jean worked steadily. His thoughts were concentrated on his problem. Not once did he look around until the problem was finished. The other boy finished first but in his confusion he had mis- taken a seven for a nine. Jean finished a moment later and an- nounced his answer. The teacher smiled—The Green Hollow pu- pils burst into thunderous applause—the arithmetic test had been won by Green Hollow. The spelling contest, which was always considered fun, which had been regarded in the light of a diversion, now became the de- ciding factor of the day, for each school had won a victory. The excited pupils marchd to their places along the walls. The match began; the words were pronounced clearly and distinctly and the answers given quickly. At first easy words were given and only a few missed. Then “electrolysis” boomed upon the air. One after another the pupils dropped out. “Jinhikisha” took an alarm- ins toll, all of the pupils succumbing except Jean, who spelled it correctly, and Ruth, who did not have to try it. The contest was decided now so far as the schools were con- cerned, but the spectators were still interested because they want- ed to see who would have the honor of “spelling down’ ’the four schools. Ruth spelled “nephew” and the companion word “niece’ ’was pronounced to Jean. He hesitated—an idea worthy of the knights of old had flashed through his mind. He remembered Ruth’s smile when she said “good morning,” and then said loudly, “’niece’ n-e-i-c-e.” A murmur ran through the room, and above it rang Mrs. Richards’ voice, “My land! If Ruthie hasn’t spelled them all down The visiting schools left for their homes. The Green Hollow crowd finally dispersed and the groups of happy children and ad- miring relatives sauntered down the dusty road. As usual Jean started out alone. He almost ran, for he could scarcely wait to tell his father about the day’s experience. Some one behind him was swifter than he, and soon up came Edmund, on his face a comical mixture of embarassment and determination. “Hello, Jean,” he said. “Hello,” Jean, none too cordially responded and awaited fur- ther developments. Words were extremely difficult for Edmund at this particular point and the boys trudged on, Edmund looking fixedly at his highly polished shoes, over which a film of dust was rapidly gathering, and Jean glancing from time to time, with puzzled expression at Edmund’s face. Just as the silence was becoming deadly—to Edmund at least —Ruth and her beaming mother passed them in a carriage. Ruth turned and smiled radiantly at Jean. The dust from the passing of their carriage enveloped the two boys like a mist and through it came Edmund’s voice. “What’d you do it for?” ‘‘Do what?” asked Jean. “I knew you knew how to spell that word. Why, you know the rule to spell that kind of words by heart. What’d you do it for?” Jean hesitated. If he told, what new torture might not the boys perpetrate? He could almost hear their fiendish voices. ‘‘Ruth is mad and I am glad, And I know what will please her; A bottle or wine to make her shine And Jean Smith to squeeze her.” He saw as in a panorama his whole miserable school career. In spite of its persuasive gloom there was one bright spot—little Ruth Richard’s friendly smile and voice. Almost without conscious ef- fort he heard himself saying, “I did it ‘cause she’s the only one that was ever decent to me.” Then a frightened look flickered over his face. He had done it now! But the surprising Edmund turned and stuck out his stubby little hand, as he had once seen someone do in a moving picture, (while in the city,) and his words, though not in keeping with his dramatic gesture, healed completely the great wound in Jean’s sore heart—‘Aw, forget it,” he said. ‘‘Some of us kids is gettin’ up a ball team. Wanta come over tonight right after supper?” IDA WILSON. WILLIE'S SCHOOL DAYS Aurora The first thing that catches our eyes, as we open our Year Book, is a copy of the famous painting “Aurora,” by Guido Reni. Prob- ably most of us, if we bother to study it at all, think that is is a pretty picture, though without much meaning or application. But there we are mistaken; and if we should stop to consider, un- doubtedly we would realize that there is much of meaning to this painting. So let us examine it more in detail. Aurora, (in Greek my- thology called Enos), the Soldiers of the Dawn, is represented by Reni as ushering in the sun whose chariot is driven by Apollo. She is scattering flowers in the path of the Sun-god’s fiery horses and is pushing open the gates of Heaven. The chariot is sur- rounded by seven beautiful maidens, symbolizing the hours, while above, bearing a blazing torch, hovers the small figure of Cupid. Below, dimly seen through the opening in the heavens, are the earth, with its mountains and castles, and the sea, studded with sails. The light morning breeze, blowing through the manes of the horses and thru the robes of each figure, gives the final touch to this wonderful painting. The character of Aurora and the chief happenings of her life are best told by various anecdotes from old Greek and Roman mythology. Like most gods and goddesses, Aurora was none too faithful to her chosen spouse. Her lawful husband was Aeolus, God of the winds, to whom she bore six sons, five of whom were noisy, turbulent winds; but the sixth, the gentle Zepyrus, the South Wind, was the harbinger of Spring and beloved by all people. But the fact that she was married did not prevent Aurora from mak- ing love to handsome young mortals. Nor did she lower her dig- ity in the least by these departures from the straight and narrow path, for in the olden days, the deities were considered to have the privilege of possessing one or two extra husbands or wives, as the case might be. One of Aurora’s first flirtations was with a young man named Tithonus, brother of Priam, king of Troy. She carried him off to Mount Olymphus, and obtained for him the gift of immortality. But she neglected to ask Juppiter to grant him eternal youth, and so, as time went on, he grew’ old and withered; at this Aurora be- gan to fall away from her husband (and truly, I do not suppose that she can be greatly blamed, since she, for all her years, looked no more than twenty, while he was a dried up old man.) As time went on and Tithonus grew older and more withered and his voice became a mere croak, (for being immortal he would never die,) she at last grew so tired of him that she changed him into a frog, and he is probably croaking to this day. But the love that Aurora withheld from Tithonus in his last years, she lavished upon her son, Memnon. He wras the pride of her heart and she would have sacrificed anything for him. When the Trojan War broke out, Memnon w'as resolved to go to the aid of his father’s countrymen; so, unable to dissuade him, Aurora had Vulcan make him a suit of wonderful armour. In this he fought against the Greeks and performed many deeds of valor, until at last he fell before the sword of Achilles, Aurora was grief stricken. She ordered his body to be removed to the bank of a remote river, w’here every night she came to weep over it. She refused to be consoled, until finally, to comfort her, Juppiter raised her son to immortality. The ancients claimed that the dew was in reality the tears that Aurora wept over the grave of her slain boy. Such was the great love of the goddess. As to the application to be found in this painting ,there are many w'ays in which that may be taken. As Aurora ushers in the dawm, so the “Aurora,” our Year Book, ushers in the dawn of our life-work- After graduation we go forth into the world, well-fit- ted by our High School training, either to enter college or to pass directly into a business career—a career in which we have already made the first step to success, if we keep before us a vision of Au- rora, with all her nobility, cheer and purity, and try our best to imitate her. Like Aurora, let us begin each days’ work in a man- ner prompt and dependable, and, as she scattered flowers in the path of the Sun-god, let us scatter joy and happiness at the feet of our fellowmen. HERBERT A. SPENCE—‘21. Le Qeneral Joffre Dans sa propre patrie on dit de Joffre: “II est comme le vin de sa patrie, le muscat de Rivesaltes: le pouvoir et 1’esprit enve- lopes de parfum.” Comme ecolier il etait singulierement aimable; comme cadet a l’Ecole Polytechnique, on se souvient de lui comme un etudiant modere et reserve; comme officier, chez lui, et dans les colonies, il donnait 1’ impression melee de douceur et de force; a Paris deja haut dans les conseils de 1’ armee, il etait connu pour la serenite et 1’ orgueil de sa maison, sa devotion pour ese deux petites filles Quand il commandait 1’ armee la plus parfaite du monde, ses soldats 1’ adoraient pour les memes qualites du coeur. Ils etaient heureux en rayonnant quand leur heroisme avait tire en avant sa louange cordiale et ils pouvaient dire: “Grand-pere est content.” Par ses qualites du couer, il a accompli une cohesion complete dans toute 1’ armee, gagnant la confiance, 1’ approbation et la co- operation cordiale de tous ,sans consideration des factions; com- mandant 1’ obeissance joyeuse sans faire aucun mal a la fierte. “Il nous commande,” dit un soldat distingue, “comme nous aimons a etre commandes.” Le general Joffre est taciturne. Il reflechit, il ecoute, il se de- cide. Ses ordres sont courts et tranchants et ses pensees sont con- densees dans des phrases nettes. II n’ y a pas de mots superflus, mais aucun detail n’ est oublie. Tout est accompli sans bruit et sans etalage. Mais malgre sa reserve, il a le coeur gai et sensitif. Il est silenciex parce qu’il a une aversion pour des mots qui ne disent rien, mais il parle assez facilement quand il a quelque chose a dire. Joffre unit en parfaite balance les qualites du penseur avec celles d’un homme d’action. Il possede un pouvoir obstine, mais dans celui-ci il est aussi bien balance, et tout a fait raisonnoble. Il n’ agit jamais par un motif soudain ou nerveux. Sa decision vient seuelement apres une meditation longue et soisrneuse, mais une fois faite, elle est inflexible et sans consideration pour personne. La formule pour Joffre est facile a trouver. C’ est un nombre ; c’ est une date: c’ est 1870. Quand la guerre de 1870 s’ est de- claree, Joffre, un jeune homme de dix-huit ans, etait etudiant a 1’ Ecole Polytechnique. II servit pendant toute la guerre comme lieutenant de 1’ artillerie et il souffrit toutes les tromperies et toutes les douleurs de 1’ invasion- Quand la guerre fut finie, il decida une fois pour toute ce que sa vie devait etre et il atteint son but. Pen- dant que le rest d la France etait plus interesse dans le denouement interne et 1’ expansion coloniale, Joffre ne perdait jamais de vue le danger d’ outre Rhin qui planait sur la France. Il dit une fois: “J’ ai vecu pour La Vengeance.” Sa vie fut une longue preparation pour le jour de 1’ execution glorieuse qui arriva enfin. En resume, partout oil Joffre fut employe, il demontra les qual- ites qui 1’ ont fait ce qu’ il est aujourd’hui. Elies peuvent etre re- sumees par les mots du President de France qui dit a 1’ occasion de la presentation de la medaille militaire a Joffre: Vous avez montre dans le commandement de nos armees les qualites qui ne vous pas manque un moment,--un esprit d’ organisa- tion, de methode et d’ ordre, dont 1’ influence bienfaisante passa de la strategie a la tactique, un jugement sage et impartial qui sait comment pourvoir a quelqu’ action subite, une force d’ ame inebran- able et une serenite dont 1’ example inspire conflance et espoir.” MARGARET BARNES. Qeneral Joffre In his own country they say of Joffre, “He is like the wine of his own country, the muscat of Rinesaltes: power and spirit wrapped in sweetness.” As a school-boy he wras extremely gentle, as a cadet at the Ecole Polytechnique, the West Point of France he is remembered as gentle and reserved ; as an officer, at home and in the colonies he gave a mingled impression of gentlenss and force; in Paris, already high up in the councils of the army, he was known for the serenity and charm of his home, and his devotion to his two little daughters. When he commanded the most perfect army in the world, his sold- iers adored him for these same qualities of heart. They were ra- diantly happy when their heroism had drawn forth his cordial praise and they could say: “Grand-pere est content.” (Grand-papa is pleased.) By these qualities of heart he brought about a complete co- hesion throughout the army, winning the confidence (he approval, the cordial co-operation of all, without regard to factions; com- manding joyful obedience without hurting pride. “He commands us,” said a distinguished soldier, “as we love to be commanded.” General Joffre is taciturn. He thinks, he listens, he decides. His orders are brief and sharp and his thoughts are condensed into terse sentances. There are no superflous words, but no detail is forgotten. Everything is accomplished without noise and with- out ostentation. But despite his silence he is at heart gay and sen- sitive. He is silent because he has a hatred of empty words, but he talks easily enough when he has something to say. Joffre unites in perfect balance the qualities of the thinker with those of a man of action. He possesses obstinate will-power, but in this he is also well balanced and utterly reasonable- He never acts from sudden, nervous impulse. His decision comes only after long and careful meditation, but once made, it is inflexible and without regard for person. The formula for Joffre is easy to find. It is a number: it is a date: it is 1870. When the war of 1870 broke out, Joffre, a young fellow eighteen years old, was a student in the Ecole Polytechnique. He served through the war as lieutenant of the artillery and suffer- ed all deceptions and sorrows of the invasion. When the war was over, he had decided once for all what his life was going to be, and that it has been. While the rest of France was more interested in internal development and colonial expansion, Joffre never lost sight of the danger that lay across the Rhine. He once said: “I have seen 1870. I have given my life utterly to see that it did not happen again. I have lived for the “Revenge.” His life was a long preparation for “the day” which finally came. And the day having come, it spread itself out into glorious fulfillment. In short, in whatever capacity Joffre was employed, he dis- played the qualities that have made his achievements of today possible. They can be summed up in the words of the President of France, who said on the occasion of the presentation of the mil- itary medal to Joffre: “You have shown in the command of our armies qualities that have not failed for a moment,—a spirit of organization, method and order, the beneficial influence of which has extended from strategy to tactics, a wise, dispassionate judgment that knows how to pro- vide against any emergency, and unshaken strength of soul, and a serenity whose example inspires and radiates confidence and hope.” La Diuersian de Espana Pan y toros—de estos a un espanol y el dejara pasar lo demas. Hasta el siglo XVI las corridas de toros eran privilegio especial de la nobleza. Los galantes enamorados creian que mercerian me- jor el favor de sus novias si peleaban con una lanza al toro mas feroz y mas fiero que se podia halier. Solo professionales toman parte en el modo actual de la divirsion que fue adoptado al prin- cipio del siglo XVII. Este modo no es peligroso para el hombre, pero es mucho mas cruel para el animal. Ahoro hay cerca de dos cientos cuarenta y cinco “Plazas de Toros’ ’en Espana ,accomodan- do millon y medio de espectadores. Cada plaza tiene un hospital y una capilla. El combate en un drama. Se puede dividir en tres actos. En el acto primero, los caballos son muertos; en el segundo, el toro es herido e irritado; en el ultimo, el toro es muerto. El combate com- ienza de dos a cuartro de la tarde con la procesion de toreros. Elios marchen por orden de importancia enfrente del palco oficial y entonces se retiran. Son los espados, los sobresalieientes, los banderilleros, los capeadores, los picadores montados y los servi- dores con los mulos que se usan para arrastrar del redondel los caballos y los toros muertos. Un oficial publico echa la Have de la caverna y el torillero abre la puerta, concediendo salir precip- adamente el toro loco y voraz. El acto primero es un recuerdo breve de los dias cuando los caballeros peleron con lanzas. El picador va a caballo picando al toro con su lanza y le irritando. El picador es diferente del Ca- ballero en un respecto—el esta bien amparado. Esta blindado con armadura de hierro, de modo que el toro le hiere raramente. Hay curtro o cinco otros para atraer el toro de el cuando parece en peligro. Los caballos no pueden escapar porque tienen los ojos vendados. Son herido con los cuernos y desgarrado por el toro. Cuando cinco o seis, caballos son muertos, el presidente llama el acto segundo. Los banderilleros ejercitan su artificio poniendo al cuello del the first act, the horses are killed ; in the second, the bull is wounded toro las benderillas, para irritar y vivificarle. Las benderillas son dordos adornados de banderolas largas de papel colorde, y gener- almente tienen cerca de treinta pulgadas. Los toros “miedosos” son los recipientes de banderillas cargado de polvora—mientras I03 toros vivos son debilitado por las maniobras hecho por una capa. El acto tercero es el mas incitante porque el espada tiene el el hecho mas penoso que ejecutar. Su valor debe ser grande pero su artificio debe sobresalir aun su valor. De modos varios ensaya poner el toro en el posicion exacto para la lanzada ultima. Unual mente el espada espera el impetu del toro; cuado esta; en el de cerca se pone aligmente a un lado y atenta poner el sable en el cuello y cuello y hasta el corazon. Muchas veces el acometimiento primero ha salido completamente mal. Despues que un toro es muerto el cumplimento comienza otra vez. De seis a ocho toros son muertos atrozmente antes de anochecer. Parece imposible abandonaar las corridas tonos. Las espan- nolas aman los bailes--los hombres aman estadiversion cruel. Un espanol discurrira invariablemente de este modo, Es una corrida de toros mas cruel que una caza de zorros? Tiene el caballo pobre y fatigado un suerte peor que tiene un bello caballo de caza conuna pata quebrado? No tiene un pugilato un efecto tan salvaje como el de nuestras corridas de toros? No es un poco cruel la pelota de viento Americana? Miran a muestras corridas como un manifesta- cion de arte y habilidad. Les banderillas no son como echado para vivificar el toro—son echado para mostrar la manna del band erillero. Como le responderia? DOROTHY KONDAL. CThe Story of Spain. “ ‘Bread and bulls”—give a Spaniard these and he can dis- pense with almost anything else.” Down to the 16th century, bull fights were a special privilege of the aristocracy. Young gallants thought themselves more fav- orable in the eyes of their sweethearts if they could fight success- fully, with a lance, the wildest, most ferocious bull that could be found. This was very dangerous. In 1512 ten knights were killed in a single festival. Professionals alone take part in the present form of the sport, which was adopted in the beginning of the 17th century. This form is less dangerous for the man, but much more cruel for the beast. At present there are some two hundred and forty-five bull rings in Spain, accomodating one and a half mill- ion spectators. Each ring has a hospital and a chapel. The combat is a drama. It may be divided into three acts. In first act, the horses are killed; in the second, the bull is wounded. and enraged; in the last, the bull is killed. The fight is started be- tween two and four in the afternoon, wfith a procession of the actors. They parade before the official box to the strains of a military march, in the order of their importance, and then retire. They are the “espados” or swordsmen; their substitutes; the “banderilleros” and “capeadores,” or those who throw the darts into the bull’s nape, and those who challenge him with cloaks; the “picadores’ ’or prickers and the attendants with the mules used in dragging off the dead horses and bulls. An official throws the key of the den and the keeper unlocks the door, allowing the maddened, starved bull to rush out. The first act is a slight reminder of the days when knights fought with lances. The picador rides about, prodding the bull with his pike and angering him. There is one difference in the knight and the picador—the latter is well protected. He is cased in sheet iron so that the bull very seldom wounds him. When he seems in danger there are always four or five others to attract the beast from him The horses cannot escape because they are blind- folded. They are gored and ripped to pieces by the bull. When five or six horses have been killed, the president calls for the second act. The banderilleros practice their skill by throwing darts into the neck of the bull, to provoke and enliven him. These barbed darts are decorated with long streams of colored paper and are generally about thirty inches long. “Cowardly” bulls are often the recipients of darts with explosive crackers in them, while lively bulls are weakened by maneuvers with cloaks. The third act is the most exciting, for the swordsman has the most difficult feat to perform. His courage must be great but his skill must excel his courage. He tries in various ways to place the bull in the correct position for the final thrust. Usually the “espada” waits for the rush of the bull; when it is nearly upon him, he steps nimbly aside and then attempts to push the sword into his neck and down ino the heart. Many times the first at- tempt is a failure. After one bull is killed, the performance starts over again. From six to eight bulls are slaughtered before dark- ness ends the sport. It seems impossible to abolish bull-fighting. The Spanish wo- men love dances; the men love this cruel sport. A Spaniard will in- variably argue in this way; “Is a bull-fight more cruel than a fox hunt? Has the poor worn-out horse, killed immediately on the bulls’ horns, a worse fate than a beautiful hunting horse with a broken leg? Has not a prize fight a brutalizing an effect as our bull fight? Too, is not the American football game a little cruel? We look at our fight as a display of skill and dexterity. The darts are not thrown to enliven the bull—they are thrown to show the cleverness of the “banderillero!” How would you answer him? Once again oratorical work has gained a noticable position in the school activities of S. H. S. This can be partly attributed to the support shown by fellow students and also by the vim and vigor instilled in the contests by the participants- Wonderful progress has been made this year in the three branches of Public Speaking, namely Declamation, Oratory and De- bating. This has proven singly by the declamations given by the following pupils of the Ninth and Tenth Grades. Elizabeth Mosstellar Charles Rick Lydia Reitz William Morrison Emelia Oppenheim Alma Gilbert Marguerite Hillman Jack Tennant Dorothy Wolf Frances Reason Lydia Sweet Flora Albright Pearl Schuman Marie Wise Florence Brink Fred Thorsby Margaret Fisher Lorraine Gay Viola O’ Melay Viola Muesser Maurice Rushlow Elizabeth Kaufelt Helen Moore Robert Stapleton William Clemens Clarence Bacon Fanny White Joyce Pettis Mary Bixby Virginia Nerreter Breslin Behse Norman Schwannecke Ethel Lodge Vernon Praschon Robert Davies Virginia Sharon Dorothy Hillman Julia White Clara Juffke Evelyn McArthur Howard Monroe Dorothy Bartlett Edwin Clark Marion King Ware Muesser Helen Hill Merril McDonald Florence Tennant Agnes Orr William Mertz Roland Sargent Fern White Miss Patterson In the final contest Margaret Fisher won first place with an ex- cellent interpretation of the speech “Builders of Empire.” Second place was given to Vernon Praschon. This gave Miss Fischer the honor of representing us at the Sub-District Contest. Orations were prepared for this year’s contest by the follow- ing persons: Morton Stewart Richard Ryan Rankin Chambers Eleanor Wordleman Helen Reider Vivian Yeo Mable Masales Bernice Lobb Edith Cook Helen Dietrich Frances Miner Miss Mabel Masales won first place with the oration “Ameri- canization.” And she too gained the honor to represent us at the Sub-District Contest. This was held at East Tawas and included many schools. Miss Masales was placed second, showing that Sag- inaw is still a school to be considered. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM. NEGATIVE DEBATING TEAM. WINNERS IN ORATORY AND DECLAMATION Saginaw was again entered in the State Debating League and the question for debating was, “Resolved, That the settlement of all industrial disputes between employer and employee should be made a part of the Administration of Justice.” Our material from past years was lacking but with applicants that were determined to place Saginaw at the top of the contest started with high hopes. The League had established a system of points for grading, whereby each Judge’s decision counted one and the winning of the debate added another point. It was therefore possible to obtain four points per debate. Five debates per team were scheduled for the one hundred and twenty schools in the League and seven- teen were needed to qualify in the semi-finals. Our first debate was with our Standish friends in our Chapel on December 17th. With an affirmative team, composed of Alberta Roller, George Davies and Curt Will, we completely smothered our opponents and added the first four points to our score card. The next debate was again held in our Chapel. Our affirma- tive team was again appointed to defend our laurels against our opponents, in the form of Flint High School. And they did so suc- cessfully, obtaining the unanimous decision of the judges. And then the burden was shifted to the negative team. But with high hopes the team, consisting of Isabel Duby, Paul Sawyer, and Melvin Mountjoy journeyed to Sebewaing on January 22, and there met its defeat by the decision of two to one. And here mention must be made of the trip taken by the af- firmative team composed of Alberta Roller, George Davies, Curt Will and Paul Sutherland, and the negative team consisting of Isa- bel Duby, Paul Sawyer, Melvin Mountjoy and Milton Greenebaum. Through the efforts of Mr. Hopkins a series of practice debates was arranged with northern Michigan High Schools. Conditions governing these debates were the same as those of the League EX- CEPT that local judges were allowed. Bcause of this fact we knew our task was no easy one. Leaving Saginaw on January 31, the affirmative team traveled to Petoskey and the negative team journeyed to Evart. Both teams lost, though the affirmative gained one vote. On the next day the affirmative debated East Jordan and the negative Traverse City. Again both teams lost- No alibis are to be offered as these were not League debates and had no effect on our standing. We can only express our gratitude and appreciation for the hospitality we received from our opponents. At all places we were royally treated and the acquaintances made on this mem- orable trip will always linger with the pleasant memories of de- bating. Upon arriving home we were informed that Marlette had forfeited its debate and added four more points to our tally. This forfeit increased our points to thirteen, meaning that our last debate must be won unanimously to place us in the semi-finals. Our opponent was to be Davidson and our affirmative team, com- posed of Alberta Roller, Paul Sutherland and George Davies, met them in our chapel to decide whether or not Saginaw would win the District championship and the right to be represented in the semi-finals. The debate which ensued will be remembered as one of the most spirited ever held in our school. Before a large crowd our team showed the benefits of our northern trip and Saginaw proved her supremacy by gaining the unanimous decision of the judges. And now the debates of the semi-final confronted us. The negative was chosen to represent Saginaw against Bad Axe and the team, consisting of Isabel Duby, Melvin Mountjoy and Milton Greenebaum, journeyed to the city of Hatchet and there met our Waterloo. The judges decision was two to one and the debate was snappy thruout. So much so that Ex-Governor Sleeper, who presided as chairman, eleminated rebutal time, necessitating our continuing with our rebutal speeches immediately after our con- structive speeches. Nevertheless, this year’s debating teams of Saginaw High have carried their school further in the State Contest than ever before. During the season the negative team had obtained most of the “small ends” of the decisions and when a post-season debate was arranged with our most worthy opponents, in the form of our own affirmative team, we looked forward to the opportunity as a time for revenge. On April 17, before the Saginaw Women’s Club, the negative, with a team consisting of Isabel Duby, Melvin Mountjoy and Mil- ton Greenebaum opposed the affimative team composed of Al- berta Roller, Curt Will and George Davies. Both sides of the question were discussed in a most sarcastic manner. It was a snappy debate thruout. Each member of the Club was given the permis- sion to vote her decision- Fate again was master and the affirma- tive by a vote of twenty-seven to twenty-six. Of course the writer realizes that the negative outclassed the affirmative including the remarks in sarcasm. The necleus for our next year’s teams consists of Curt Will and Melvin Mountjoy, one on each team. With these two deba- ters’ unusual ability we are sure that strong teams will be develop- ed. The work of every member was unusually meritorious and sets a high standard for those who follow. The honor medals for representing the school in outside con- tests will again be given this year. The bronze medal, recognition of one year’s participation, will be given to Alberta Roller, Isabel Duby, Curt Will, Paul Sawyer, George Davies, Paul Sutherland, Milton Greenebaum and Gunther Tidke each for one year of de- bating and to Mable Masales and Margaret Fischer for oratorical and declamatory work. The silver medal, representing two year’s service, has no claimants but to Melvin Mountjoy goes the honor of receiving the gold medal for three years service in the declama- tory, oratory and debating. This is the second gold medal ever presented and as Mr. Mountjoy still has another of school he can establish the unequal record of four years of service. A plati- num medal, eh Melvin? To the nine people of debating teams comes the realization of the benefits derived from their work during the past year. De- bating gives each one an inside view of present day topics and acquaints them with the problems confronting all people. For of those of the future debating teams a great benefit lies in store and in return they will place Saginaw High School highest among the highest. MILTON GREENEBAUM. The influence of music has extended through the ages, from an- cient times to our own day. It does not consist in a mere chain of sounds so presented as to be pleasing to the ear. It is a page torn from the book of life, a means by which hundreds of human souls have poured out their emotions, an expression of the customs and habits of the various classes and races of people It is one of the highest arts and is recognized as being an es- sential, vital element in the education of the younger generation of today and years to come Music is one form of beauty and it is this quality that places it foremost among the arts. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” In the study of music one becomes acquainted writh its true mean- ing and alluring character. It stimulates the imagination and de- velops poetic thought in the minds of all. The love of this art is inherent in each one of us whether it be for the Classics, Opera, or the so-called popular music of today. To love an art one must understand it in order to appreciate it. We gain understanding only through familiarity with the subject. One composer has thus expressed this thought completely. “Fam- iliarity with the best in music furnishes an appreciation which is a liberal education in itself.” So, as our understanding becomes keen, our appreciation and admiration grow more vivid. The home of education is the school. One of the fines texam- ples if such an institution is the Saginaw High School which is for- tunate to have a commendable Music Department. The classes in school music for all four grades are under the direction of Mrs. Patterson whose accomplishments in this work are worthy of recommendation and high approval. The classes study Theory of Music, Biographies of Famous Composers, the instruments of the Orchestra, The Opera and Music Appreciation. These various branches form a very complete High School course. The Glee Club which is open to all boys having vocal talent is under the personal supervision of Mrs. Patterson. This organ- ization has made several public appearances and has been received with a hearty welcome- The Amphion Society is a Girls’ Glee Club under the personal direction of Mrs. Wilson. This Society has also received much ap- plause at its appearances. Another enjoyable addition to the School Music is the High School Orchestra under the personal direction of Mrs. Wilson, who has accomplished satisfying results with this organization. The members have displayed a high degree of ability and talent and have been greeted most graciously at both public and school func- tions. A Girls’ Quartette and Boys’ Quartette sent by the Amphion Club and Boys’ Glee Club represented the School at th State Mu- sical Contest held in Mt. Pleasant last year. Th Girls’ Quartette had the honor of winning first place in one event and were accord- ingly awarded a beautiful silver shield for their effort. A similar Festival will be held at Mt. Pleasant during the lat- ter part of May. This year, in addition to the two Quartettes, the School will send a pianist, Soprano Solist and a Contralto Soloist. We sincerely hope that these representatives will meet with an equal amount of success- Too many people of today regard this musical education in the school as a mere waste of time, because of their grave misfortune in not having had the advantages to recognize the world’s master- pieces and to feel the emotions, ideas and color which the composer intended, it it not of great value? High degrees of skill are not necessary for one to enjoy the realm of music and its melody. You need only to develop your ap- preciation for the beautiful and apply it to your every day life. Such love, founded upon deep, sincere understanding, will brighten your path and lift your life far above the commonplace and un- interesting.

The lack of appreciation of the beautiful is responsible for immense waste of labor, skill and money in the production of useless and ugly arti- cles. Through the study of art the students learn that harmony of form and color add greatly to the comfort and beauty of the home. A nation’s ideals are revealed by its art, in that, like music, it is the expression of the spirit of the whole people. Those who have experienced beauty fully know that is is quite unnecessary to argue the value of art. People who have fine generosity could with the appreciation for art do not fail to see that their children are educated in this direction, as art-training adds to the general enrichment of human life- People have been inclined to belive that art was nothing but a luxury, but it is being proved that it is not a luxury but a necessity. A knowledge of art can be acquired by all and it seems amazing that a people frankly democratic in aspira- tion have heretofore done very little to make the art element com- mon in life. Perhaps our slow progress in this direction has been due to the Puritanic ideas. This spirit is dying away and especial- ly since the war the people are spending their leisure time in beau- tifying their surroundings. In the past the rich people looked upon art as a right of pros- perity and the poor thought that they could not touch that right. Artists devoted most of their time and genius to please the class of leisure. Their interest passed far beyond the drawing of every day things of life, and they turned their attention to portraits. But we know now that art is a democratic issue. The poor and the rich as well can take enjoyment in its study. This is one of the tasks of art-teaching in the schools today, to enable the student to see the beauty of nature about him. The purpose of art should be two-fold: first, it should develop the mind to see the beautiful in art and nature, and, second, ability to create beautiful things. Kipling has expressed a wonderful sentiment in his “L’Envoi,” where he says: “When earth’s last picture is painted ,and tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded and the youngest critic has died. We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it-lie down for an aeon or two, Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet’s hair; They shall find real saints to draw from—Magdalene, Peter and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us, and only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame; But each for the joy of the working and each for his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as they Are!” The ear’s IDork Previous to this year the Art Department of Saginaw High School has not been represented in the “Aurora” except by the drawings which have expressed the different class activities. The students are growing to feel that this is a live department and deserves to be classed with the other departments of the school in the Class Book. The following outline is, in a way, an explanation of our work. The Freshmen have devoted much of their time to the drawing of still-life skeletons and nature specimens. This kind of work makes the pupil more familiar with the development of plant- growth about him. Poster work was also studied to some extent. They learned in this work that harmonies of color were as definite as harmonies of sound and that we were affected as much by one as by the other. There has been a new course of Interior Decoration into the Tenth and Eleventh Grades- In this course the students learned much of prospective work and how, by the application of art, the home could be made more artistic and harmonious- At Christmas-time the drawing-room was converted into a regular art shop. The students were delighted to take home many attractive Christmas gifts made by enamelling on glass, wood, tin, and ivory articles. Later Batik Dyeing, an old form of Japanese Decorating, was found of interest to a great many of the scholars. Many attractive designs were applied to useful home articles. The Seniors have since directed their attention to the study of Show-card Coloring and free-hand lettering. All of these courses are not only interesting but they stimulate in the student a desire for better things. BEATRICE B. HAMMEL, ’21. Agriculture, as we all know, is one of the oldest and greatest industries in the world. Agriculture was one of the first occupa- tions that our pilgrim forefathers had to learn in order that they might live and build up a great nation- As Agriculture is one of the most important of American industries, it is only natural that a new course of study be offered to those wishing to become more familiar with this subject. It is of the utmost importance to the future success of Agriculture and to the prosperity of the nation that the steady flow of young men from the farm to the cities be stopped. To do this, farming must be made more attractive to the young men of the farm, which can only be accomplished by the systematic study of improved methods of Agriculture in the High Schools. The cultural side of Agriculture brings one in touch with nature and the science of life—it is also one of the bases of economic development of the country. In Michigan, at the present time, there are about sixty-five High Schools giving courses in Agriculture. In all, the course of study, execpt for some slight variations, is practically the same. The course was introduced into Saginaw High School in the year of 1913, and it has been very successful. The courses in Agriculture include Agricultural Botany, Soils and Crops, Horticulture and Dairying. In Agriculture Botany, we study various trees and plants in nature and their use for decora- tive purposes. We study a great deal about soils and crops, the way to keep soils in good condition, the best fertilizers to be used and how to obtain the best crops from the different kind of soils, which may be applied to either country or city as an aid in growing crops or building lawns. In Dairying we learn about the various breeds of cattle and the best types of cattle to use- We also study the analysis of milk, butter and cheese which are used. Civilization has made many great changes, for the responsi- bility of producing the material things of life are left to the civil- ized man. We must at the present time solve the labor shortage problem of making farm life more attractive. When the attrac- tiveness of the farm competes with that of the city and wages are equal to city wages, the labor and production problems will be solved. The farmer of today has the best chances for making a success of his farm, because of the many labor-saving devices which have been introduced in the last few years. The invention of the auto- mobile, the tractor and many other kinds of machinery make the farm life more attractive, it brings the farmer into a closer and better relationship with the city, which makes a ready market for his product. HOWARD W. SIMPSON. MANUAL TRAIN INE The success of the Manual Training in Saginaw High School has grown by leaps and bounds. This has been largely due to the interest shown by the students. Although there is not such a de- mand for mechanics, wood-workers and draftsmen as there was during the war, this field of activity has been greatly appreciated by all concerned, as it affords such wonderful training, so necess- ary in later life- The different departments are fully equipped and under the management of capable instructors, who deserve a grat deal of credit. Woodwork, Forging, Foundry, Machine Shop, Mechanical Drawing, Pattern-Making and Carpentry for the boys, and Domes- tic Art and Domestic Science for the girls, and the main divisions. In their Freshman year, the boys may take Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing. The latter subject may be taken for four years and is complete in every detail. Here the drawings for the shops are turned out. In their second year, Pattern-Making, Foun- dry and Forging are added to their training, and in their third and last years, Machine-Shop. During all these years the student is continuing work from the year before. For instance, he may make a pattern of a V-block in the pattern shop, make a mould and cast it in the foundry, and finish it the following year in the machine shop. Among the exercise pieces in forging are rings, chain links emergency links, staples and gate-hooks. After he has finished the required amount of work, the student may make whatever he desires, if approved by the instructor. A number of butcher- knives, paring-knives, cold chisels and other useful articles are finished every year- In Woodwork, household furniture, victrolas, cupboards, desks, drawing-boards, T-squares and a number of other things too numerous to mention are completed. Of special interest is thetwo year course in the machine shops. The students are instructed in the use and operation of all the ma- chines. Here, as in the other departments, a number of exercise pieces are required, after which he may make something for him- self. A number of machines, purchased by the Board of Education, from the War Department, were set up last year. This gave the boys a chance to learn something about repair work, as a few minor repairs on all the machines were necessary before they could be used for practical work. An opportunity for parents to see what can be accomplished is provided for, by giving an Exhibit the latter part of June, just before the closing of school. At this time, all those interested may visit the class rooms and shops and see the results of a few months training. Consequently, thru this Exhibit, many people become staunch supporters of this department of our High School training. WALTER HENTE ‘21. Rome Economics Domestic Science. Our new Manual Training Building, provided with breat fore- sight by the late Honorable W. R. Burt, while being of great im- portance to the boys is of no less value to the girls. The four year courses in Cooking and Sewing provided especially for the girls are unlimited in their good points. In the Freshman year short courses in Emergency Nursing and Laundry work are taken up. Emergency Nursing gives the girl a complete stock of general information such as boys acquire in their Scout work. The lessons take place in a room equipped very much like a room in a hospital. A large doll plays the part of the patient and many so called first aid tricks are practiced to good advantage upon her. The Laundry, stationed in the basement, is equipped with large porcelain tubs. Here the washings take place, each step being carefully explained as the individual washings progress. Following Nursing and Laundry work comes the plan- ning, cooking and serving of simple breakfasts and luncheons, the use of left-overs and the packing of a school lunch-box. During the Sophomore year the students learn the fundamen- tal, food principles. Canning, preserving, jelly making and pick- ilng play an important part in the students’ work the first semester. The second semester is taken up with the serving of practical luncheons and dinners in the large, perfectly appointed dining room, after which the study of foods is continued and examina- tions given. The Junior year deals with large quantity cooking. A house- hold budget is made this year, aiding in the plans for household management. In addition to their regular work the present classes made nine gallons a day of soup and cocoa alternately, for the children of the Central School during the month of October. In December the Americanization classes had a Christmas party for which three hundred pop-corn balls were prepared by the cook- ing classes. The annual Sophomore Spread occurred in February and twelve and one half gallons of punch made by the Juniors, were served. The Juniors, it may well be said, have had a very eventful year. The first semester of the Senior year is an entire review of the four previous years. In the second semester the household budget is continued and various balanced rations are prepared- Added to this regular schedule the following achievements have given proof of the efficiency of this last year’s work. The money obtained from the sale of the canned fruits and vegetables, which were in the last September exhibit, amounted to $134.22. The Federation of Parent-Teachers’ clubs met at the High School in November, for which sandwiches and coffee were prepared. In December the Football Banquet took place for which 60 covers were laid. The Americanization classes had another party in April, and punch and cookies were prepared for three hundred. Following this was the Board of Education dinner for which twenty-two covers were laid- Surely, if the way to a man’s heart be through his stom- ach, there will be many heart throbs caused by knowledge our lassies derived in Domestic Science. Domestic Art Sewing plays an important part in the High School girl’s ca- reer. Each year a different line of work is planned for the stud- ents, beginning with the simplest parts of a wardrobe and gradual- ly working toward the most difficult. In 1917 and 1918, while we were at war, the girls in the Sew- ing classes responded nobly. In the regular course of the Fresh- man year the student makes one piece of lingerie, and apron and finally advances into the art of drafting patterns, but this regular work was laid aside for war work. Knitting was taken up in earn- est and many were the sweaters, scarfs, wristlets and socks turned out by these industrious girls. Bags for comfort kits for the sold- iers were also made and after those came all the important hospital garments, including convalescence robes, pajamas and bed shirts. Lingerie plays an important part in the Sophomore year and, at the end of the year a gingham dress is made. During the year 1918 and 1919, two infant’s layettes for Belgian babies were made and contributed ; also a service Hag for the Alumni of Saginaw High School. This flag was eight by twelve feet with four hundred and forty-seven blue stars and twelve gold stars. During the Junior year, embroidery, crocheting and knitting are taken up. Following this comes the shirt waist and then a voile dress. Most of the girls finished their dresses very early and or- gandie hats of many shapes and varied hues were very successfully attempted. The Senior year brings the problems of a winter hat, a dress, (either taffeta or wool) and the long worked for graduation dress- These dresses are always displayed at the annual exhibition and many wonder that such lovely dresses may be made for such sums. This year in addition to the regular exhibition a Style Show will be given, with all of the girls participating. The idea of a Style Show originated in this year’s Senior Class and met with immediate ap- proval among the teachers and pupils. Each girl will model the dresses and hats she has made during the year, thus giving the pub- lic a much better idea of what is done than has been given in form- er years. JUNE GAGE.

The following members represent the various classes, organizations and societies of the school: Freshmen, Evelyn McArthur, Arthur Vaughan. Sophomore, Grace Fettig, Raymond Thayer. Junior, Jean Bentley, Pasqual Budge. Senior, Helen Bowman, Clarence Barth. Lyceum, Stewart Kelly Thencean, Adelaide Bartlett Public Speaking, Beatrice Hammel. Athletic Association, Kenneth Patterson. Music, Ida Wilcox. The Council has endeavored to discuss the subjects of im- portance which have been brought up during the year. With this number of members it has a fairly good opportunity to get in touch with the work and aims of the various groups. The new marking system was thoroughly debated as the ques- tion was considered both from the standpoint of the Faculty and that of the pupils and a clearer understanding has resulted through- out the school. Due to the few meetings that have been held, because of the late start in its year’s work, the Council has only arranged a brief calendar of school events as follows:— Nov, 21 Thencean Party. Nov. 26 Football Dinner. Nov. 28 Football Hop. Dec. 23 Freshman Frolic. Feb. 11 Sophomore Spread. Mar. 4 Basket-ball game with Bay City Eastern at Bay City. Oratorical Contest. Mar. 9 Basket-ball—Mt- Pleasant at Mt. Pleasant. Basket-ball—Arthur Hill at Arthur Hill. Mar. 11 Senior Play. Apr. 8 Basket-ball Hop. Apr. 12 Reunion Classes 16-17-18-19. Apr. 14 Michigan Opera- Apr. 15 Michigan Sprout. Apr. 15 All School Party. Apr. 15 Americanization Party. Apr. 19 Debate before Women’s Club- Apr. 22 Julius Ceaser. Motion Picture presented by Tenth Grade English Classes. Apr- 23 Achievement Day by Rural Schools. May 20 Junior Play. June 10 Gymnasium Exhibition. The officers are:— President ................... Stewart Kelly Vice President ...........................Jean Bentley Secretary................... Raymond Thayer The problem that has confronted this school for many years is that of securing funds for the expenses of the various contests which occur during the school year. The ways and means of such a fund have been discussed to a great extent with the result that definite action will be taken in the future to provide for any emergency of this kind. These are only a few examples of the kind of work attempted. This Council seeks to become as useful an organization as those in the many colleges which have proved very successful. It does not aim to become a mysterious meeting from which no inkling of the work accomplished can possibly escape, but rather a group of student working for the benefit of their school to promote the general welfare of that school. This can only be accomplished by the co-operation of the students in placing their subjects be- fore it for a general discussion. This plan conforms with the de- mocratic ideas of today and is an important step toward an ideal school, inasmuch as it tends to establish a sympathetic feeling be- tween the Faculty and students in regard to the management of the school. HELEN M. BOWMAN. rlj00l (Cittsnuilny During the month of May a Good Citizenship Drive was car- ried on in the Saginaw High School. This drive was in the form of a contest and points were given for various achievements, such as attendance and punctuality at classes, attitude in Chapel and in the session rooms, also assistance in keeping the school grounds and buildings neat and clean To add interest and to arouse enthusiasm in the campaign, the English students of all the grades were asked to write upon the subject, the three best themes to be published, one in the News Courier, one in the Student Lantern and the best one to be printed in the Aurora. The various English sections chose the best theme in their classes and these themes were submitted to a committee of Seniors. The themes were numbered so that the judges were impartial in their decisions. Miss Elizabeth Whitney of the Class of 1921 had the honor of writing the best article, which is printed below. LILLIAN ANDERSON. The Good Citizenship Drive Come, everybody who wishes to go On the drive to Good Citizenship. The horse has been groomed, and the coach is at hand, Prepared for this wonderful trip. The city you seek is a hundred miles off And the horse may go only part way, But if you don’t get there, ‘twill be your own fault, For you’ve only to do as I say. Be regular in your attendance at school; Thirty miles then, at least, you’ll attain. If you’re careful to keep the school grounds looking neat, Fifteen miles, in addition, you’ll gain. Take good care of the session room, also the hall. If these tasks are both faithfully done, For each, you’ll be fifteen miles further advanced, And four-fifths of your course you’ll have run. And besides all these things, if good order you keep When to and from Chapel you pass, And you join in the singing as well as you can, And attentively sit, with your class Oh, willingly, then, will the horse travel on Till he reaches Good Citizenship; And there you will stop, for your goal will be won,— You’ll have come to the end of your trip.

FOOTBALL TEAM Foolball The 1920 Football Season might well be termed successful for Saginaw High. About 48 men answered Coach Weekes call for candidates, of whom eight were lettermen. Toward the end of the season the squad gradually thinned out, but the last night of practice still saw three teams working, the largest number in many years. Our defeat at the hands of Lansing High, due large- ly to lack of practice, looked pretty bad for us but this was later redeemed when we defeated Detroit Northwestern, one of the strongest teams in the state- Although Arthur Hill succeeded in keeping us from scoring, it was “perhaps” largely due to our crippled condition. Alumni 6—Saginaw 0 For the first game of the season the old grads were once more seen in action. Although we were defeated the game was of great value to us. We certainly showed a lack of practice, for we only made first down once during the game and this was when a fumble was recovered and carried for twelve yards. Alumni— 0 6 0 0 6 Saginaw.....0 0 0 0..0 Saginaw 20—Alpena 0 Two fumbles carried over by Richards and Roseberry, and a forty-yard run by Spence gave the Black and Gold a victory of 20 to 0 over Alpena. Both teams showed lack of practice through- out the game by the poor blocking and tackling. Saginaw...7 7 0 6..20 Alpena....0 0 0 0.. 0 Saginaw 0—Lansing 33 Saginaw proved no match for the Lansing Champs. The few breaks in the game all went to the victors, but there was no doubt as to the superiority of the Lansing Squad. Roseberry and Kelly stood out as the Saginaw stars, Roseberry doing good defensive work while Kelly was our chief ground gainer. Lansing...7 7 6 13.33 Saginaw...0 0 0 0.. 0 Saginaw 34---Bay City Western 6 Playing snappy, brainy football, we defeated Bay City’s vete- ran eleven 34 to 6- Western’s lone touchdown came in the final period when one of our passes fell into the hands of a Western man and, as was not covered, left a clear field for a touchdown. We outclassed Bay City in every thing but passing, and this bothered us little, so steadily could we gain on straight football. Saginaw....7 13 7 7—34 Western....0 0 0 6.. 6 Saginaw 46—Owoosso 6 Saginaw scored its second Valley victory by snowing Owos- so under 46 to 6. Our team completely outclassed the Owosso lads from beginning to end, running up seven touchdowns without any trouble, in spite of penalties amounting to two hundred yards. Many new men were tried out during the game and all did well. Saginaw....46. Owosso..... 6 Saginaw 28—Port Huron 0 Saginaw High’s speedy, hard hitting backfield, coupled with a powerful defense when in danger, proved too much for Port Hu- ron. Port Huron’s goal was crossed four times by using little but straight football- Saginaw was in danger twice, but the line stif- fened and threw back the hopes of making touchdowns. All four backfield men gained steadily for Saginaw, but Gillingham and Brackenbury stood out as the bright stars. Saginaw.......0 7 7 14.28 Port Huron 0 0 0 0 0 Saginaw 16—Detroit 14 The Black and Gold showed she was still in the race for state honors, although defeated by Lansing, when Detroit Northwestern went down to a count of 16 to 14. It was about the snappiest game of football ever played by high school teams. Although outweigh- ed fifteen pounds to the man, we stormed the Colt line until they were worn down to our own size- Each team seemed stronger on offence than on defence for it was one parade up and down the field from beginning to end. The exciting part of the game came in the closing minutes of the game when Detroit had three yards to go for a touchdown in four downs. Saginaw had been leading 16 to 14, but it looked pretty black at this particular moment. The line held for the four downs how- ever, and Roseberry punted out of danger. The breaks which went to the Colts were all that enabled them to score although each team should have made touchdowns from the yards gained. Saginaw..............3 7 0 6 16 Detroit Northwestern 7 7 0 0 14 Saginaw 12—Bay City 0 Saginaw High triumphed over Bay City Eastern 12 to 0, after battling fiercely all through the game. The victory was dearly won. however, for Captain Stewart Kelly suffered a fracture of the collar bone- Bracky scored both touchdowns for Saginaw. The one came after a brilliant 72 yard run in the first period and the second when Bracky hooked a lateral pass from Roseberry and dashed 11 yards for the goal. Bay City’s green team showed lot’s of fight. With a big crowd of rooters backing them, the visitors fought like demons but they found that Saginaw could fight just as hard. In a spirited preliminary, the second team of the two schools put up a great 0 to 0 tie battle. Saginaw outgained Bay City and threatened several times, but couldn’t get through the score. Saginaw................ 6 6 0 0.12 B. C. Eastern ....... 0 0 0 0 ..0 Grand Rapids Central 19—Saginaw 0 The Black and Gold was eliminated from all consideration form state championship rating, when Grand Rapids carried off a 19 to 0 victory. Both teams were handicapped by the snow-covered ground and the cold weather which caused many fumbles. Sagi- naw started with a rush and carried the ball to the 15 yard line- Grand Rapids held here, and punted out. The ball remained in the Saginaw territory during the rest of the period. Roseberry was the shining light for Saginaw. He was the only consistent ground gainer we had. Grand Rapids Central 0 6 0 13....19 Saginaw ............. 0 0 0 0. 0 Saginaw 0—Arthur Hill 0 The annual Thanksgiving Day struggle at Alumni Field ended again with both teams scoreless. Each team had one chance. Saginaw’s came in the first period when the ball was advanced to within 12 yards of the goal, while Arthur Hill’s came in the third period when they got within 15 yards of the last white line. Each team also had one trial at a drop-kick. It was a slow game due to the field and displayed very few thrills such as were shown in the Detroit Northwestern game- Saginaw was put in a crippled position when Eagan was re- moved early in the game with a broken ankle, and the loss of Cap- tain Kelly was certainly felt throughout the entire game Saginaw 0—Arthur Hill 0 ....

There were only two letter men back from last year, Capt. Norris and Brown, but other good men made the squad look like a winner. The season started out well for us, for we won most of the games, but our defeat at Lansing seemed to turn the tables. Arthur Hill defeated us both times, one by a single point and the other by a four point lead. Saginaw, however, was the only Valley school to remain in the tournament after the first game, as the other teams all lost their first game- Saginaw 19—Corunna 18. For the opening game of the season, Saginaw nosed out Cor- runna 19 to 18, by overcoming a nine point lead in the last 10 min- utes of play. Saginaw showed little or nothing during the first half and Corunna had a margin of 14 to 6 at the end of the half. Petey Brown broke thru in the last 2 minutes of play for two bas- kets and turned what seemed to be certain defeat into victory. Arnold.....................F.......................

Substitutions—Stewart for Arnold, aPrtlo for Brown, Brown Mavis. Referee—Gauthier, M. A. C. Saginaw 15—Reed City 15 The Saginaw-Reed City game was declared at an end, by the two coaches after two regular halves and a five minutes over time was played without a verdict. Reed City proved to be superior on team work while Saginaw was better at basket shooting- The first half ended with Saginaw leading 9 to 7, but in the second score see-sawed back and forth and Reed City shot the trying score just as the final whistle blew- There was no further scoring in the five minutes overtime. First half—Saginaw 9, Reed City 7. Final score, Saginaw 15, Reed City 15. Substitutes—Richards for Norris, French for Ball. Referee—French, Olivet. Saginaw 14—Bay City Western 13 Saginaw got up in the basket ball league by defeating Western 14 to 13 in a game that was about as full of thrills as any one could wish. Neither team was much at basket shooting. The vic- tory came as a surprise as the cowboys were looked upon as the ones to cop the game. First half—Saginaw 6, Western 13. Field Baskets—Brown 5 Norris 0 in 4, McDonald 5 in 9. Subs.—Harris for Elliott, Woods for Harris, Richards for Norris. Referee—Miller, M. A- C. Lansing 11--Saginaw 10 Our first defeat came at the hands of the Capitol City lads, when they defeated us by a single point. The game stood at a tie, 9 to 9 in the last minutes of play, but Stub Kipke broke thru for a basket and Norris rimmed a foul as the final whistle blew. First half—Saginaw 6, Lansing 4. Final score—Lansing 11, Saginaw 10. Field Baskets—Kipke, Johnson, Astley, Roh, Fischer, Norris. Fouls—Norris 6 in 9, Dunion 1 in 1, Roh 0 in 3. Referee— Gauthier, M. A. C. Arthur Hill 18—Saginaw 17 In a game that was fiercely waged from whistle to whistle and full of excitement in the closing minutes, Arthur Hill bas- keteers took the lead of the Valley League by defeating Saginaw 18 to 17- This was our fifth game in which a single point has separated the winner and the loser, and this time we were on the short end of the score. The Hillites got going shortly after Brown caged the first basket. Friske and Hacket showed some pretty dribbling and some long shots which helped to run up the count of 12 to 12. Saginaw came back strong in the second half and soon had the lead of the 14 to 12, but the Hills soon tied it up, and took the lead 16 to 14. Then Grube hooked another basket for the Hills; Fischer followed with one for Saginaw and Norris hooked a foul, making the count 18 to 17. Saginaw had many chances for a basket in the last few min- utes but the game closed without further scoring. Saginaw’s de- feat was again due to poor basket shooting- This game cannot be taken as an evidence of superior basket ball on the part of the Hills, but rather hard luck for Saginaw. Grube ... Davis .... Scheib .. Friske ... Hackett Saginaw 34—Owosso 24 Saginaw and Owosso put forth a game which was full of thrills from whistle to whistle. It was also an unusually rough game. The first half ended with Owosso in the lead 13 to 7, but in the second half Saginaw put up a good offensive game and after a few minutes of play was well in the lead. Saginaw scored 27 points in one minute of play. First half—Owosso 13, Saginaw 7. Final score—Saginaw 34, Owosso 24. Field baskets—Norris 6, Brown 6, Stewart 2, Fischer 1, Reule 1, Rice 1, Sawyer 4, Harryman 2. Fouls—Norris 4 in 8, Sawyer 3 in 3, Harryman 5 in 9. Subs—Richards for Stewart, Friedel for Rice. Arthur Hill 19—Saginaw 15 Arthur Hill won its first Valley Championship in its seventh straight Valley Victory when they defeated Saginaw, 19 to 15. It was anybody’s game, showing little passing or team work, but the breaks gave it to the Hills. Saginaw led 10 to 6 at the end of the half, but Captain Grube practically decided the outcome when he broke thru for four baskets in the last half- First half—Saginaw 10, Arthur Hill 6. Final, Arthur Hill 19, Saginaw 15. Field baskets—Grube 5, Hackett 2, Norris 2. Arnold Fischer. Fouls—Norris 7 in 16, Hackett 4 in 12, Davis 1 in 2. Sub- stitutions—Gile for Grube for Roeser, Stewart for Arnold, Roeser for Hackett, Hackett for Roeser. Referee—Davis, M. A- C. Bay City Western 22—Saginaw 18 Saginaw was nosed out of 22 to 18 when Bay City came from behind in the last few minutes of play. Saginaw led 18 to 14 in the second half but Losey and McDonald hooked four baskets and turned the tables. First half—Western 18, Saginaw 18. Field baskets—Mc- Donald 5, Losey 4, Beckley, Norris 3, Brown, Fischer, Arnold, Fouls—Norris 6 in 7, Beckley 0 in 1, McDonald 2 in 7. Referee— Gouthier, M. A- C. F......................... Norris F.........................Stewatr C........................ Brown G.......................... Portlo G........................ Fischer Pontiae 29—Saginaw 11. Saginaw was defeated at Pontiac, 29 to 11. The defeat was due largely to clever passing on the part of Pontiac against a rather loose defense, which resulted in the one-sided score. Detroit 14—Saginaw 5 Saginaw High went down to defeat at Detroit Western, 14 to 5, in a game that was featured by strong defensive work on the part of both teams and weak offensives. Capt. Norris scored his teams only points in the second half. Field Baskets—Detzner 2, Miller 2, Line , Frulz, Norris. Fouls—Grone 2, Norris 3. Referee—Brown, 111. Umpire— Dotteier, Allegheny. Saginaw 24—Owosso 8. Saginaw High basketball five swamped Owosso 24 to 8 after turning in 16 points in the last half and holding Owosso to a single basket. Saginaw’s passing, basket shooting and defensive work improved immeasurably during the last half which was the reason for the large score First half—Saginaw 8, Owosso 6. Final, Saginaw 24, Owosso 8. Field baskets—Arnold 5, Norris 3, Brown, Stewart, Fischer, Rice 2, Harriman. Fouls—Norris 2 in 8, Harriman 2 in 7. Ref- eree—Miller, M- A. C. Last year’s team made such a good showing in the State Championship race, that we were able to secure a much better schedule than usual for this year’s games- Although we were put out of the running for the State Championship this year we rank- ed high enough to be one of the four best girls’ teams which were invited to attend a tournament at Lansing. Our team is admitted to be one of the strongest in the state, and is the only team which defeated the Battle Creek girls, whose team is made up of older, stronger girls. The line up in almost every game has been the same, with Captain Dorothy Ogborn and Lucille Daily as forwards, Marion Boegart and Evelyn Ogborn as centre and side centre, and Anne Robertson and Evelyn Norris as guards. There were practically no substitutions except in the case of Evelyn Norris being replaced by Edith Smith as guard- Evelyn Norris is a new member on the team, and altho not very strong, she has made a wonderful showing. Luckily she 3till has two more years in school. Anne Robertson, the other guard, is one of the strongest players on the team, her height and quickness making it almost impossible for the opponents to score. Evelyn Ogborn, younger sister of our Captain, is also a new member on the team who has insured herself a permanent po- sition there for the rest of her High School career because of her fine work. Marion Boegart, the jumping center, is one of the best centers in the State. Her jump with D- Ogborn’s quick playing brings the ball to our forwards giving the oponents little chance at the ball. Lucille Dailey, last year’s guard, has gained new laurels for herself this year as star forward. Lucille is very quick, a strong fighter and she has a remarkably true eye. She rarely fails in her shot. Captain Dorothy Ogborn, in her third year as a player on the team, has sustained her excellent work of previous years, and it is due to her untiring efforts, as well as to the excellent coaching of Mrs. Reise, that such excellent team work has been developed. December 10—This was to be the first game of the season, played with Reed City. We departed in fine condition but un- fortunately the train ahead of us broke down and the team was compelled to return home. December 17. Saginaw 38—Corunna 15 The first game of the season played with Corunna on the home floor was a fine opening of the season- Our girls showed good team work for the beginning of the season. Everyone was encouraged to hope for a record year. December 23. Saginaw—Reed City This game at Reed City was a rather unpleasant episode- The audience at Reed City was very rude and rough, out to create disturbance rather than to watch the basket ball game. They dis- puted any decision averse to their home team, and were so disa- greeable that Coach Riese withdrew her team from the floor, for- feiting the game. Saginaw was in the lead when the game was stopped. January 14. Saginaw 25—Reed City 4 Once again we played Reed City, but this time on our own floor, and to an interested, polite audience. This game was a walk-away for Saginaw, for Reed City did not dare to use rough- neck tactics unsupported by its home people. February 7. Y. W. C. A. 17—Saginaw 12 We played the older Y. W. C. A. girls’ team on our floor, meeting defeat, but considering the age of the “Y” girls and the length of time some of them have been playing, and that Mildred Cushway was with them this year, our defeat does not seem so bad- January 19. Saginaw 27—Arthur Hill 17 The rivalry between the two schools made this game, which was played on our floor, very fast and rough. It was a good clean game, and Arthur Hill was beaten fairly, altho they put up a stiff fight. January 21- Saginaw 29—Owosso 18 This game was the cleanest, smoothest game we have played this year. The teams were evenly matched and altho our lead was not seriously endangered at any time, this game was no walk away. The whole team played especially well, showing fine spirit and team work. February 5. Saginaw 19—Battle Creek 16 One of the biggest surprises of the season was the game played at Battle Creek on Feb- 5th. The Saginaw girls, playing an ex- cellent game, gave the heavier and more experienced Battle Creek girls their first defeat. The first half ended in a 7-7 tie, but Saginaw came back strong in the second half and defeated the Normal Training girls by three points. February 11. Brown City 20—Saginaw 18 Brown City has some excellent material for foot ball tackles in its guards, but as basket ball players they were terribly rough. Their tactics were to romp through the game and tire us out so by their rough playing that we could not score. We were de- feated by 2 point on this trip. February 18. Saginaw 25—Battle Creek Normal 15 Saginaw again defeated the Battle Creek Normal Training girls on their return game here. Saginaw made two baskets before the Training girls were well started and kept a safelead lead all thru the game. Susan Perrin, Saginaw’s center in ’18 and ’19, now a Normal Training Student, played an excellent game. January 28. East Lansing 23—Saginaw 18 East Lansing’s game with us on the home floor was a hard fought one- Tne State Champions of last year were able to de- feat us by their superior team work, but their girls admitted that we were the most worthy opponents that they had met this season. February 4. East Lansing 33—Saginaw 26 Once more we met defeat in our encounter with last year’s State Champs. The game was played on the huge M. A. C. gym. floor- Our girls suffered a severe attack of stage fright, not being used to such a mammoth floor, and so were badly handicapped. We staged a pretty good come back in the second half, but by that time Lansing was too far in the lead for it to help us much. March 4. Saginaw 37—Bay City 14 The Bay City Eastern girls scheduled outside competition this season for the first time. In the game we played them at Bay City, we defeated them, but they put up a very spirited fight considering their inexperience. Marjory Wickham, one of our last year’s for- wards, was the star for Bay City. We are glad to welcome this team into the basket ball contest. Next year we expect that they will have a team any school in the valley will fear- March 9. Saginaw 40—Arthur Hill 29 The game was a very speedy scrappy one owing to the rivalry between the two schools. It looked rather doubtful for us for a time, for at the end of the third quarter the score was 26-26. But in the fourth quarter we came back strong, and soon ran the score up to 40-29 in our favor- March 14. Vassar 24—Saginaw 20 This game at Vassar was very slow and pepless, but the Vassar girls managed to defeat us by two baskets. Anne Robertson as guard was the real star of the game. March 18. Saginaw 15—Romeo 14 The girl’s team of Romeo, challenged our team, so on March 18 we journeyed to the little city to show them how we played. The floor was extremely slippery, so that the game was much slowed up. However, we defeated them, if only by one point. mu April 1—Saginaw, Onaway and Birmingham were invited to a tournament of the four best teams in the State as guests of East Lansing. The games were played on the huge M. A. C. floor. The first evening Saginaw was defeated by Birmingham 32-18, while East Lansing defeated Onaway. Birmingham’s side center was the factor who wmn the game for them. She played all around our center pair. The next night East Lansing played Birmingham and defeat- ed them 50-18. Saginaw also played Onaway the same night, after having been called quitters by the Onaway team, and defeated them 13-2. The excellent guarding of Saginaw’s team prevented Onaway from making a single basket, their two points being scored on free throws- This tournament ended a very successful basket ball season for Saginaw. As all of the girls will be back next year, we have prospects of an equally good season next year. Let’s try for State Championship next time. Too much can not be said of the won- derful work of Mrs. Riese in training and coaching the team, and we may consider ourselves very lucky that she will be with us again next year. D. OPPERMANN- BASEBA LL TEA M On March 28th Coach Canfield called a meeting of the bat- teries. There was about a dozen candidates for catcher and pitcher, and the prospects for a winning team were pretty good as far as catchers and pitchers were concerned. After the spring vacation practice was begun. We won our first four games, and in most cases, by a large score. After this fine start we all looked forward to a successful season. Saginaw 4--Owosso 2. We defeated Owosso in our first game of the season, in a hard fought game, by a count of 4 to 2. Partlo was the best pitcher of the game, although the others did well and promised improvement. Saginaw 18---Consolidated Catholics 4- Our second game proved to be an easier game than we ex- pected- A rather strong team was expected from the Catholics being a combination of the best players of the Catholic schools of the city. Their weakness was greatly due to lack of practice and they also showed the effect of stage fright. Eleven runs were piled up for Saginaw before their opponents got their bearings. Saginaw 4--Bay City Western 3. Saginaw scored its second Valley victory by defeating Bay City Western by a single point. Saginaw High took the lead at the outset and held it all the way. Partlo and Gillingham, con- nected safely in the first inning and scored as the lesult of an error. The game was a mound duel between Partlo and McDon- ald in which Partlo won. Partlo allowed six hits, fanning nine. Saginaw 26—Vassar 5 Vassar High was slaughtered by Saginaw 26 to 5. Gilling- ham and Whitecraft led with the stick. Gilly made a homerun, triple, double and single in five times at bat and Whitecraft got four hits in six bats- Johnny DeBolt, at third, featured the Sag- inaw defense. Gilly, who has been bothered with a sore arm, hurled six innings. He demonstrated that his arm was in pretty good condition. Saginaw 8—M. A. C. Freshmen 9 After playing eleven innings of baseball that was rather loose on both sides, Saginaw lost to M- A. C. Fresh by a score of 9 to 8. The weather was designed more for football that baseball. The sixth and eighth innings were disastrous ones for Saginaw. In the sixth, the M. A- C. team batted way around, while in the eighth. Saginaw tied the score and threw away the winning run, when Corbin tried to score on a husky rap by Gillingham. He reached home but failed to touch third base and was called out by the um- pire. The ninth and tenth innings were scoreless. The College team’s winning run came in the eleventh, when DeBolt missed Rummel’s throw to the base to catch him. Both teams were guilty of sloppy playing. This year the athletic activities of our school have been increas- ed by the forming of a Tennis Association and swimming teams. The Tennis representatives have played Lansing here on the Canoe Club Courts and are to meet them again at Lansing. Both the boys and the girls are taking part in these tournaments. Two All-Valley swimming meets have been held. It is hoped that next yext year more may be accomplished along these lines. W. H. NEUMAN. TRA CK Central ITlichiqan basketball Tournament The Central Michigan Basketball Tournament ended with Manistee the winner in Class A and Greenville winners in Class B. The Class A games, being played by schools of more than 250 students, took place on the main Normal court. The first two teams to go on the floor were Mt. Pleasant and Saginaw. The first few minutes of play looked like a sure victory for Mt. Pleasant, but Saginaw came in with a rush and snatched the honors for her- self by a 14 to 16 score. The games stood at a tie until .just before the final whistle blew, when Saginaw shot the winning basket. Saginaw was the only school from the Valley that stayed in the tournament after the first game, being the only one that won its first game. Saginaw, Bay City and Manistee were chosen from the Mt. Pleasant Tournament to go to Lansing for the State Tournament, but as the team was disbarred and Coach Canfield was not there, we could not do this. Saginaw High carried off first honors in the Y. M. C. A. indoor track meet with 54 2-3 points to 56 1-3 for Arthur Hill and 4 for the Catholic schools. Hart of Arthur Hill was high point scorer, with 11 1-4 to his credit, but Brackenbury made 11 points with first in the 110, and second in the 220 and shot. Stewart picked up 8 1-3 points for Saginaw without winning a first- Both Saginaw and Arthur Hill showed lack of training and the marks were for the most part below par. The events taken by Saginaw were the 110 yard dash by Brackenbury; the mile run by Littlejohn; Shot put, by Roseberry, and the pole vault by Chambers.

H. S. for This Is Commencement Day! Fellow students and Friends:— It is with the fullest realization of my trust and the deepest feeling for the honor that has been bestowed upon me, that, as Valedictorian, I take the pleasure of addressing these last words of farewell. The crowning hour of our lives is at hand. The Class of 1921 now stands upon the threshhold of Life. Rising from our feet ascends a long flight of stairs, the path of opportunity. Far in the dim distance it fades away. But at the end, glittering like gold, looms the Temple of Success, the coveted goal. Many before us have stood at the base of these same steps. Eagerly they mounted the first few, their eyes fixed only upon the temple at the top. But shortly, to many the steady climb be- came monotonous. They could see no harm in resting a short time. There were pleasant nooks along the way with comfortable benches, where it seemed one could be content without striving. So they stopped and rested, and when the time came to again start the climb, they seemed to have lost their ambition; they were per- fectly happy where they were. Why trouble themselves with the long, hard struggle? So they stayed on in the same little nook watching others struggle on to success and occasionally being joined by another straggler. Such are the people that fall by the wayside; such the people that we call failures. But those who persevere, who reach the end of the ascent receive rewards that pay them many times over for their endurance- Now we of 1921 stand ready to begin the climb. If we keep our eyes upon our goal, passing by every allurement and tempta- tation, then only can we hope to overcome all obstacles and reach the summit, recognized successes in our respective vocations. We are entering upon our careers at a particularly auspici- ous time. Business, disturbed by the conditions of upheaval and unrest which existed during the war and for some time thereafter, has now commenced to assume its normal aspect. Unskilled work- men, with practically no education, no longer receive ten to fifteen dollars a day, while the college graduate is forced to accept re- numeration according to a lower standard of valuation- Now it is the man with the education that succeeds There is no longer that mad rush to turn out materials that in war times necessitated the use of any man procurable- Big con- cerns now have their efficiency experts. The man who proves in- capable is discharged while the man who has ability, with an ed- ucation as a basis, climbs higher and higher, not only in position but in his employer’s esteem- That is the type of person each of us wishes to be; the one who strives and succeeds rather than he who sits back and looks on Now we stand ready to take our place in life, our High School training completed. A training which for four long years our teachers have endeavored to make the best available. To them we owe and give our warmest thanks, thanks drawn from the depth of our souls. And now on behalf of my classmates, I bid farewell to Sag- inaw High School. May the future Seniors at all times keep her name as fair and unsullied as has the Class of 1921. HERBERT A. SPENCE.

I wonder if Utopia Has teachers stern and sere Who make you feel that you are like A grease spot in the atmosphere; And tell me, do Utopians Have various little rules As those that teachers often use In kindergarten schools? I wonder if Utopians Can boast an English class. In which you’re doggone sure that you Can never, never pass. And must they study history That Henry says is bunk And thus waste all their time On stuff that’s merely junk.

But the thing was autocratic as well as automatic, And the auto wouldn’t auto as it auto to, so to speak He thought to get an auto operator for the work— So first he tried a circus man, and then he tried a Turk; For he knew the circus man could ride fifty horses with success And if a man is shifty enough, to manage fifty, Yes—it’s palpable enough, he ought to manage one horse-less; As for the Turk, it’s all plain, deny it if you can. He ought to run an auto, since a Turks an Ottoman. ’Twas all no use, so Otto moved to Alabama purely that he might say, “I’m Otto from Mobile, and my motto, ‘A Mobile Otto ought to run an automobile surely.’ Then Otto sought to auto on the auto as he ought to, But the auto sought to auto as Otto never thought to; And Otto grew angry, O, very hot as he ought not to, and he said; “This auto o; ght to auto and it’s got to.” And Otto fought the auto and the auto, it fought Otto, ’Till Great Scott, it shot to heaven,—so did Otto, Where Otto’s auto autos now as Otto’s ought to.
