CLARENCE BACON President's Address. Time has flown. It seems only yesterday that we came here as Freshmen, unacquainted and unaccustomed to high school life. We found ourselves passing through the classes as Sophomores and Jun- iors, to the sudden realization, that now. we as Seniors, are about to graduate. We ponder in sorrow at the thought of leaving this dear old school, but at the same time there is a joy which outweighs the sorrow of departure, joy derived from having effected the accomplishment of learning. We have spent four years here. Four years of life which have provided us with the weapons of knowledge and independence which we may utilize in the greatest battle of all—the battle of life; where we strive for the achievement of a common goal. Ladies and Gentlemen of the faculty, you have guided us faith- fully through the mist of ignorance which obstructed our progression. You have criticized us kindly, thinking only to improve our thoughts and actions. You have enlightened us when in doubt at critical mo- ments. All in all your instructions have not been in vain; what we have been taught here we can never be deprived of. What we have learned will be used to advantage in our life’s service to God, country, and man. Fellow-students of the lower classes who have yet to experience the sorrows and joys of graduation, we command you, even as we were commanded, always to hold our standard high and never lower it be- low' the level of this class or the preceding classes which have gradu- ated in the past. Fellow-students, we have enjoyed your companion- ship from beginning to end, and we hope that our environments will tend to continue close relationships. In expressing our gratitude we must not forget our parents whose sacrifices have made it possible for most of us to remain here and take advantage of opportunities which some of them, perhaps, never had. As graduation draws near, their hearts sw'ell up with pride for faithful sons and daughters, who have successfully finished their high school careers. We leave this dear old school with courage in our hearts, with eyes firmly fixed on our life’s tasks, and with minds solemnly deter- mined on attaining that one end—Success. PHINEAS ADAIR.

Oh! with how much envy and almost longing, we look upon the joyful days of the little Freshmen .unappreciated by them, but signifying for us the beginning of four of the most pleasant years of life! Indeed, as we. the Class of ’23, look back over them, we have a right to regard them as four of the most pleasant as well as profitable years ever spent by any class. Entering High School four hundred and four strong, the largest class that had ever invaded Saginaw High School, we went through the usual program of first classes over the unfamiliar paths and were forced to endure the good natured taunts and raillery of our supposed superiors. After becoming somewhat accustomed to the routine, how- ever, we soon asserted our rights and started on our conquering march. That first year, the following officers wei'e elected: President—Raymond Thayer Vice-President—Evelyn Norris Secretary—Edwin MacRae Treasurer—Peter Brown On February 26th came the greatest event of the Freshman year, the Freshman Frolic. With our class was introduced the idea of hav- ing a costume party. Long lists for possible make-ups were written on the boards for weeks in advance, and when the day came, the various peoples and types of the world were well represented. We passed be- fore a long receiving line, among whom were Miss Barnard and Miss Wilson as delightful old ladies. Prizes were awarded for the prettiest and funniest costumes, fancy dances and short plays were given and a jolly, good time was the result. Finally came summer vacation, welcome I am sure, in spite of the long vacation afforded by the “Flu” epidemic. When school started in the fall, we entered with unfaltering steps, intent upon impressing the incoming Freshmen with our importance, and looking forward eagerly to a place in upper class chapel, but alas, we were too many. On September 28th, the boys and girls were separated into different session rooms and the boys were the favored ones. The Seniors aren’t the only ones who have known the joys of those upper seats, however. Elections of 1920 took place with the following result: President—John Carlisle Vice-President—Dorothy Wolf Secretary—Ruth Pitcher Treasurer—Helen Pattinson The next event of importance was the Sophomore Spread on Feb- ruary 11th. Here too, much to our regret, something new was insti- tuted. the eats were cut down. Because of the size of the class, it was necessary to serve a lunch instead of the usual dinner. Everyone en- joyed the splendid entertainment, however, and seemed to like the re- freshments, especially that punch! As Juniors we elected: President—Edwin MacRae Vice-President—Lucille Dailey Secretary—Loraine Gay Treasurer—Phineas Adair Under their capable guidance, the Juniors put on their annual play, “The Irresistable Marmaduke.” It was a great success in every way, and we can only look back upon it with pleasure. It was during this year that the school produced two State Championship teams, Football and Girls’ Basketball. The Junior Class had a just right to claim a part in helping to win these honors, for were not some of the most eminent players hers? Now. as Seniors, we have tried to maintain our high standards. The officers elected were: President—Phineas Adair Vice-President—Margaret McNally Secretary—Herbert Behm Treasurer—Clarence Bacon Besides being the largest graduating class, we have achieved the splendid record of having fifteen per cent more students on the Honor and Merit Rolls than any previous class. And then they say that scholarship is steadily lowering! On February 23rd occurred the Senior Play, “The Thirteenth Chair” and oh! what a play! Mystery, thrills, laughs and love all were there. Everyone voted it one of the best ever produced. The school has brought forth another State Championship Girls Basketball team this year and what looks like a State Championship Debating team as well. We feel that we deserve at least a portion of the credit. As you read over this tabulated account of activities, and recall, in the years to come, the splendid friendships with students and teach- ers that you made, don’t you think that you will have more and more pride in your class of 23? ALMA GILBERT. In accordance with the time honored custom, I, the Senior Class of Saginaw High School, do bequeath certain things, to certain groups, in a certain way. to wit: There are various reasons wThy it is the duty of every person own- ing or expecting to own property to make his will. The length of life of all of us is at best uncertain, and we may be stricken by a lingering disease or accident which may make the execution of a valid will im- possible. Absence of a will in most cases greatly adds to the trouble and expense of those who are called upon to administer the estate of the deceased person. Most persons have relatives and friends to whom they are under obligations with a proper sense of gratitude can show this in no better way than by proper provisions in a will. WHEREFORE, for the above mentioned reasons, I, the Class of 1923, deem it my duty to make this, my last will and testament as 1 pass on from happy school life to a stern world. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS: that I, the Class of 1923, of Saginaw High School. City of Saginaw, State of Michigan, be- ing of sound and disposing mind and memory do make and publish this my last will and testament hereby revoking all former wills, codicils, and testamentory dispositions by me at any time. My executors are hereby directed to pay out of my estate all of the expenses and costs of every nature and description incident to carrying out the directions contained in this, my last will and testa- ment, and incident to the transfer and conveyance, and payment to the trustees and beneficiaries herein before provided for, it being my in- tention that the said trustees and beneficiaries shall receive their re- spective gifts, legacies, bequeaths, and devises free from all cost and expense.

When the brilliant sun is setting In the far and distant west, Then’s the time we happy Seniors Like to think of school days best. Of the time spent in our classrooms Striving knowledge for to gain, Of the times that we were happy. Of the times that brought us pain. But some have dropped behind us, And others of us are new. But together with all the rest of us. To ’23 were true. Here’s to our gallant teachers, Them we must not forget, They’ve drudged with us and played with us And it’s good hard work, you bet. For four blithe years we’ve wandered Through your halls of aged renown, As Freshs and Sophs and Juniors, Till we Seniors ourselves found. And now graduation confronts us With the wide, wide world behind, We must leave our sheltered places, That others may them find. And now it’s time to say goodbye. But not the time for tears, For to Saginaw High we’ll still remain Faithful for after years. Goodbye dear High School we now sing, May through the land spread far your fame. We’ll remain your students to the end of time, In heart if not in name. MARION KUB1K. S. W. S. Farewell. I remember when as freshmen, We trotted up and down, The teachers seemed to have, One long, perpetual frown. They would look and look and look and look As up the halls we’d go, If we would dare a question ask, They’d say, “Well, sir, don’t you know?” But it didn’t last, and finally. Tried Sophomores we became, And then the teachers didn’t dare, To call us by our first name. It was Mr. This and Mr. That, Dignified? Well, I’ll say, We studied hard? and never more In classes did we play? ? ? ? ? We couldn’t be Sophs forever, And one more rung we made, So Juniors we now called ourselves, Of teachers unafraid. Life was one big joy to us. For Juniors have no worries, We got our lessons? Had our fun. Despite the frequent flurries. Ah ! The height of our ambition. We’re Seniors, “don’t you know.” Dignified, and know it all, We made the old school go. But it nears the time to leave The place called Saginaw High, ’Tis with reluctance, yet with joy, We must say, “Old school, goodbye.” —LANSON DEFORE. Tis a grand old place, this school of ours, And with sorrow we leave it now. We’ve had good times for four long years, But at last to the world we must bow. We’ve nothing but praise for Saginaw High, The school to us so dear, And after we leave, any help you need, We will always be quite near. We’ve all had our troubles and hardships, too, But they are to be no more, From Saginaw High we are parting now, To see what the world has in store. Our hats are off to the teachers all Who have helped us in the race, Their help is not forgotten, As our future life we face. This school, this school, this fine old school of ours. ’Tis with sorrow in our heart. That from you we must depart, This fine old school of ours. —LANSON BEFORE. 5otaxiJL Y TvD i ri'iofj ' 1i Four years ago, we as a class of 1923, entered upon our social career. The great event that marked the beginning of this career was the Freshman Frolic. The gymnasium was effectively decorated with the class colors of green and gold, and the students, in gay attire, enjoyed themselves to the utmost. We were received by members of the faculty and our class officers and an enjoyable entertainment was provided. The second social event, which occurred in our Sophomore year, was the Sophomore Spread. Some of our talented young actors and actresses favored us with a musical comedy. After a grand march re- freshments were served in four relays. Dancing was enjoyed by every- one until eight o’clock. Our next source of entertainment taking place in the Junior year was in the form of a play. Well known members of the class took part in the play which was “The Irresistible Marmaduke.” The play was given in the Auditorium which afforded great opportunities for its suc- cess. We did not have the honor of accompanying the Seniors on a pic- nic in our Junior year. This was a great disappointment to us but nevertheless we had the hopes of one in our Senior year. The Senior Play was of unusual merit. “The Thirteenth Chair” was presented at the Auditorium February 23. This was exceedingly interesting. Dancing was enjoyed by everyone until 12 o’clock. We have participated in very few all school parties, but the few we have attended, have been a great source of pleasure to us. Our final parting leaves with us the memory of pleasant social activities. EMILY McCORKLE. JUNIOR PLAY SENIOR PLAY “Did you see the play at the Auditorium last night? It was cer- tainly fine. All the characters acted like professionals.” Such words as these were heard after the class of ’23 had presented their Junior Play on June 2. 1922. One accomplishment the class of ’23 can boast of, is two fine plays. The plot of the play centered around a young man who had been mistaken for Marmaduke. Not knowing what to do the young man decides to fill Marmaduke’s place and scenes follow filled with many traps and snares which he gets into while assuming this name. As the play continues Marmaduke falls in love with Patricia O’Brien, a young lady living here with her aunt. Many complicating cases arise in which Marmaduke has to pretend that he is insane not knowing his name or where he lives. Finally reports come from Scotland Yard that Marmaduke is a well-known, wealthy young man and it is disclosed that he is not the real Marmaduke after all. Even so it does not pre- vent him marrying Patricia. Excellent work on the part of all helped this play to be such a success. The cast was as follows: Marmaduke ............ Mortimer Gregory ..... Doctor O’Keefe ....... Christopher Deacon ... Walter ............... Lady Althea Gregory .. Lady Susan ........... Patricia O’Brien ..... Beatrice Wyley ....... Dawson ............... Harry Johnston .... Grant Mason Robert Schirmer Vernon Praschan Lanson DeFore .. Viola O’Melay .......... Lorain e Gay Helen Pattinson ...... Helen Hill ____ Pearl Hardy “The Thirteenth Chair. On February 23, the class of 1923 gave one of the best produc- tions ever presented by a Senior Class. Mystery reigned throughout the entire play and the audience was held at an excitable pitch during the seance which took place in the Crosby home. Rosalie, a bewitching character, conducted this trance and was doing it for the benefit of Edwin Wales who wished to dis- cover the murderer of Spencer Lee. During this seance Edwin Wales was stabbed in the back and the rest of the play dealt with the un- covering of the murderer. Some one of the guests had committed the crime but the guilty one was not known. Much suspicion was laid on Rosalie and her daughter Helen O’Neil. The detective finally decided to arrest Helen O’Neil as all evi- dence of guilt pointed to her. Rosalie asked for time and claimed that she would find the guilty one. Given ten minutes to do so. a fake ti'ance was put on and the murderer was forced to give up. To the surprise of all, the guilty one turned out contrary to all expectation. Philip Mason, one of the house guests, was the one found guilty not only for Wales death but that of Spencer Lee. Of course Helen O’Neil married William Crosby and the play ended with everyone well satisfied. The Cast: Helen O’Neil ........... William Crosby ......... Mrs. Crosby ............

Clarence Bacon On October 27, 1922 the “Gypsy Trail” was presented under the auspices of the Plorad Society. It was highly successful and much credit is due not only to the Plorad but to the whole school. Six Sen- iors took part in this production. The cast: Michael Rudder .........................

Helen Moore, Mable Davis, Loraine Gay; the other “Peggy” including Bernard Bates, Clarence Schultz. Robert Schir- mer, Harry Johnston. Helen Pattinson and Helen Hill. The former, a conversation between four old ladies who all wish to remain “Ever Young.” was presented before the School Master’s Club in Ann Arbor. The other play depicts the life on a plantation in the Carolinas of some poor whites. Both plays were given before a Plorad party and proved highly successful. HELEN PATTINSON. IfWT Tut-Ankh-Amen opened his eyes and yawned. Blinking in the faint light that penetrated into his tomb, he yawned again. Slowly he unwrapped his boney arms from their linen shroud, and with their help hopped from his mummy case, and performing what must have been an ancient Egyptian shimmy, wiggled himself loose from his grave clothes. Freed from their encumberment he carefully shut the mum- my case and laid it upon its side. Then seating himself upon it, his elbows upon his knees, his beard-covered chin cupped in his transpar- ent hands, he proceeded to examine us. “Son of a dog, whose mother was nothing more than a catfish,” he began in rusty Egyptian, “may they —O. I beg your pardon.” he continued in excellent English, “I was unaware that there was a lady present.” And thus an uncomplimentary discussion of our family trees was checked. Clarence and I exchanged glances. Finally he nudged me- That meant that I was to begin. But not feeling quite myself, I shook my head and motioned to him. But seeing that he, if anything, was paler than I, I took pity on him and began. “We beg your pardon, Pharoah, and beseech thee to forgive our boldness. We ask pardon for disturbing thy rest.” Tut nodded and I gained courage. “We have come to you on a very important mission, and wish to ask you something that only you can grant.” Tut gazed at us shrewdly, and in that minute I feared that he would refuse. But soon, his flattery coming to the front, he answered. “Anything at all for you, my dear.” I was somewhat shocked, but remembering that he was old enough to be my great-great-great grand-grand father, I overlooked his impu- dence. “What we want,” I continued, all business, “is news of our class- mates of ’23. Neither Clarence here, nor I, have been in Saginaw for almost ten years, and we are anxious to hear of our old friends.” ‘‘You see, King.” Clarence interrupted me, “we both have been reading up on you. When that Englishman dug you up, we were Sen- iors, and the discovery of your tomb made rather an impression on us, so when we went abroad, both of us made a bee-line for Egypt. By chance Marion and I met in Cairo, and on our way into the desert we fell tc talking of school days. One thing led to another, and pretty soon we both got to feeling rather homesick.” “Um-hum,” murmured Tut. “Just then the bright idea came to me and when we arrived at your dug-out. we slipped away from the guide, clambered uoWn here, knocked on your coffin, that is, the thing you’re sitting on, and here we are.” “I see,” Tut-Ankh-Amen pursed his lips, “and you want me to tell you about your friends? Well I tell you. I’m rather rusty on that sort of thing now-a-days, but on one condition I’ll do it.” “You’re splendid, King, and the condition?”I caughi. my breath. What if it were something superhuman, something impossible for us to do. “Just that you see me safely into my mummy case when I’m through.” “O. of course,” we breathed a sigh of relief. Clarence handed him an Aurora. Tut took the book, dampened his forefinger with his tongue, and turned to the first name. It was Phineas, of course. We hugged our- selves and leaned forward, all attention. Tut cleared his throat. “Phineas Adair,” he announced, “is now running a bus line be- tween Saginaw and Harbor Beach.” We looked at each other. Really his powers were miraculous. “Florence Alice Albright,” he continued, “has a job as Society ed- itor on the Saginaw Evening Star with Edna Adsitt as assistant and Maurice Kirn writing up all the boxing matches. Alfred Arnold has a strong position, he’s taking tickets at the Chicago Stock Yards. Glen and Clarence Bacon are running a soda fountain on Ellis Island, selling ice cream at cut-rate prices to the immigrants. Barbara Bartlett is working in the City Attorney’s office. Dorothy Bartlett is an opera singer, once in a while she sings in radio concert. Bernard Bates is on Broadway now. guess he got his start in that little one-act play that Mr. Hopkins put on in Ann Arbor.” I gasped, so he knew all about H. D. H. too. Harry Alger has just recently fallen heir to a large amount of money. Glenard Bower is in Paris with his trained animal show. He met Irma Baumer on his way over. Irma is a novelist, and was very interested in Glenard’s animals. Lately, Praschan, Ingram k Co., pub- lished a novel on animal life for her. Ruby Beard,” here Tut scratched his head and looked mildly surprised, “is in Russia running on the So- cialistic ticket for Czarina.” “Bet she wins,” Clarence interrupted him. “Philamon Beaulieu is at the Information desk in tne D. U. R. station at Detroit. About five years ago she directed Elizabeth Beck- with to Hollywood. Miss Beckwith is in motion pictures now. Inez Beckwith is teaching the Incas in-in-in—” Here Tut faltered and stopped. “In Peru?” I aided him. “That’s it.” I felt snubbed. Surely my powers of deduction were worthy of more recognition. After this he could get stuck all he wanted to, I wasn’t going to help any old mummy out. “Herbert Behm is editing Beauty. Albert Bernau owns a potato ranch in Ireland. Mary Bixby is at the head of the Conservatory of Music. Margaret Blumm and Irma Cale are running a teas'nop on the campus at Wellesly. Linden Bach is in Salt Lake City selling tires. Stanley Boertman has established a Chop Suey restaurant in Pekin, China. He bought a secret recipe from Leota Boettcher. Wayne Brackenbury is the golf Professor at the Saginaw Club. Edna Brown is at the Denis-Shawn school of dancing; she received a letter lately from Florence Brink telling her of her position as private secretary to Mr. Ford. Florence is saving up now to buy a car at a discount. Helen Brinkman is still in Saginaw, she has a comfortable position censuring all the movies that come to town. Alice Brookins—” Here Tut’s voice died away. He was stuck again. I wouldn’t help him, and I nudged Clarence not to. But with a look of triumph he went on. “is President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals. Loraine Burdick is keeping house. Harriet Burgoyne has recently completed a tour of Europe on a lecture trip. While in Paris her curiosity prompted her to climb the Eiffel tower. At the top she found, still experimenting with radio. Charles Rick. He told her that Emil Rupprecht was experimenting with gliders from the top of the tower too, and after a short chat she descended the tower. At the bottom she found two women gazing at the top. Harriet stopped and asked them if they had lost anything. They said. “No,” that they were only waiting for their husbands. That surprised Harriet.” It surprised us too. Clarence and I both gasped. “William Byrne is Chief Engineer of the Saginaw Motor Bus Cor- poration. Peggy Chandler and Lois Hamather are both working in the office of the company. Margaret Cox has just solved the Einstein the- ory, and with Dorothy Corrigan as her assistant, is writing a book de- signed especially for Physics Classes. Clarence breathed a sigh of relief that he had finished Physics in ’23. I echoed it. “Ruth Cummings.” Tut continued, “is drawing covers for maga- zines. The Editors scramble over her work. Lucille Dailey has travel- ed to Russia in search of the fourth dimension, in opposition to the theory evolved by Margaret Cox. Carl Dankert is ir. Detroit manag- ing the Smith Bros, chain groceries. The company reports an increase of sales under his management. Mable Davis, once famous arithmet- ically. has been elected to Congress of Michigan. Recently she intro- duced a bill prohibiting barb-wire fences around apple orchards. Lan- son Defore has come into prominence following his nomination for pre- sident on the Anti-Labor ticket. Beatrice Deisig, Caroline Eich and Ber- tha Krause have organized a Stenographers Union. Its success is self evident. Salaries have risen to $30 a week and up. Marvel El- rich has written—” “Marvel an author.” Clarence exclaimed, “why I didn't know she was literarily inclined.” “A popular song. Tut bent a severe gaze on his interrupter. “The name of it is “Moonshine”—no, no. “Moonbeams, in the Garden of Eden.” Clarence giggled. “Go on, King,” I urged prodding Clarence. Tut pouted. He really felt hurt. “Please hurry,” I encouraged him. “The next is Irene Everett. “Irene Everett.” Tut continued reluctantly, “is in the Follies. Ed- na and Florence Fisher are running a ‘Lunch Shop’ on Genesee. There are rumors that Magas is going bankrupt. Mina Forrest is teaching in Bridgeport High. Dorothy Fox and Elizabeth White are doing a shoot- ing act in vaudeville. Rea Francis is librarian at Saginaw High School.” “Bet she stands on a box behind that desk,” Clarence said turning to me. “Helen Hill wrote to me,” I was able to reply, “and said that they had a new desk for the library. Helen is teaching up at High with Pearl Hardy too.” “Not really?” “Yes. Why look at old Tut. He’s nodding. We can’t let him go to sleep right in the middle.” But just then Tut sneezed, and placing his finger on the next name began again. Iris Gardner and Margaret Frank are in France, and Lorraine Gay is contemplating financing the Broadway success, in which she is star- ring on an European tour. Alma Gilbert, a famous senator, is noted for her debates. John Gillingham is running a peanut stand on the Campus in Ann Arbor.

The Sappy Hix now include Harold Hartl, Edward Seitner, William Hesse, Leslie Stod- dard and Frank Hudson.

Caroline Pierson, Evelyn Norris. Agnes Orr, Ruth Nelson and Ruth Pitcher are in New York being fitted for gowns to wear as bridesmaids at the McCorkle-Smith wedding. The gowns were de- signed by Dorothy Robinson who has an art shop in that city. Oh yes, I forgot, Miss Robinson is to be Maid of Honor.” Tut’s voice was beginning to crack. I looked at him compassion- ately and checked his prophecy by handing him a thermos bottle of lemonade. He thanked me gratefully and carefully selecting a roll of stick cinnamon that had hidden for centuries in a fold of his robe, placed it in his mouth, and rested a moment while collecting his thoughts. “Robert Opperman,” he said referring to the Aurora, “is up in North Canada trapping with Harold Partlo, an old employee of the Opperman Fur Company. Marcella O’Connor and Viola O’Melay are working in the Bank of Saginaw. Elden Mowers is on the road, while on one of his trips he stopped for a drink of milk at a farmhouse.

Edwin Spence and Jack Tennant are partners in the engineering business. Martha Stein is in Spain teaching English. Selma Sperling and Mabel Wellman are working in Barie’s office. Raymond Thayer and Walter Truckner are lumber jacking in the wilds of Canada. Irwin Sweet is furnishing jokes for several magazines. He also runs a humorous column in the New York Herald called “Sweet’s Spicy Sayings.” At this juncture Tut threw away the stick of cinnamon, and with- out a word. I passed him the thermos bottle, for which he seemed to have quite an affection. “Bernadette Supernant,” he continued, “is with Victoria Wads- worth and Theol Picard in England, their sight seeing tour is to include Ireland. Fannie White is teaching Public Speaking at Arthur Hill. She and Harry Johnston are rivals in that field. Elizabeth Wilcox and Elizabeth Mosteller are touring Europe.

One of Ed’s main dut- ies is to warn the fair sex of approaching cars. James Zander is em- ployed at the Panama Canal, he opens and shuts the locks.” Here Tut’s voice trailed off into nothingness. “Z—that’s all. Clarence, to think we know about every one of our classmates and----” “Except ourselves! I say, King, can’t you tell us something about ourselves?” Tut looked at us out of the corner of his eye, and smiled. “Well, I suppose it’s almost superfluous to say you’re married!” Clarence and I gasped at the same time. “Bi-gosh. I left Amelia up there without a parasol or a hat and that sun!!!!” “Yes, and I left Percy on the sunny side of the tomb, I don’t sup- pose he will have thought to move around to the shady side, and he hasn’t a thing to drink, I brought the thermos bottle with me. Oh my goodness!!!” Hastily thanking the Pharaoh for his favor, and still hastily pack- ing him back into his mummy case to continue his slumber of centuries, we shut the lid and hurried up the steep incline, still more hastily to join our better halves.

An’ believe it or not, kid, I’m sore. Fer it’s gloom from the moment it opens Till the time the theayter shuts, An’ the company’s half o’ them loony. An’ the rest of the cast is all nuts. This Barrymore lad is called Hamlet. But his real name’s George W. Gloom. He’s a regular Life o’ the Party, He’s as jolly and gay as a tomb. His old man was King o’ the Denmarks, An’ the poor simp’s gone weak in the bean, Fer his dad has been croaked by his uncle, Who, right afterwards, marries the Queen. So young Hamlet just hangs around sad like, An’ he talks to hisself like a nut, But as yet he ain’t hep that his father Wa bumped off by his uncle, the mutt! One night he slips out o’ the castle, An’ goes up on the roof for some air, When along comes the ghost of his father, An’ shoots him an earful fer fair. “That lowlife, your uncle, has croaked me, An’ has went off an’ married your ma. Will you let that rat hand you the ha. ha?” Says Hamlet, “Just notice me, pa!” Young Ham has a frail called Ophelia, An’ her pop is a dreary old goof, An’ they can’t dope why Hamlet’s gone batty. They don’t know what he seen on the roof. Well, Ham goes an’ calls on his mother. An’ he bawls the old girl out for fair, Then he sees something move in the curtains An’ he thinks that his uncle is there, So he jabs with his sword thru the curtain, An’ cries, “Now we’re even, my lad.” But it isn’t the King, but Polonius, An’ he’s killed poor Ophelia’s old dad. Then Ophelia, poor kid, just goes daffy When she hears how her old man is crowned An’ she goes round singing like crazy. Till she walks in the lake and gets drowned. There’s a jolly old scene in the graveyard Where Prince Hamlet gets into a scrap With Ophelia’s big brother, Laertes, Who wants to muss up Hamlet’s map. Then the King says, “Now boys, don’t act nasty. I know how to fight this thing out, I’ve got some tin swords at the castle, An’ we’ll frame up a nice friendly bout!” Then he winks at Laertes and whispers, “We’ll knock this here nut for a goal, I’ll smear up your sword with some poison, And we’ll make Hamlet look like a fool.” So they pull off the bout like they plan it, But the King thinks his plan may slip up, So he orders a cold drink for Hamlet. An’ some poison he sneaks in the cup. Then Ham and Laertes start fighting, And the King slips Laertes the wink, And the Queen she ain’t wise to what’s doin’ An’ she swallers the King’s poisoned drink. Then Hamlet gets stuck in the shoulder, An’ he sees how he’s framed from the start, So he switches the swords on Laertes, An’ he stabs the poor bum through the heart. Then he runs his sword right thru his uncle, An’ he says. “Well, let’s call it a day,” Then the Queen dies, the King dies, an’ Ham dies. And that is the end of the play. E55RY hl||Mh “Land of Dreams” Youth, the capricious; Youth, the questioning; Youth, the happiest of companions, was alone in his house of Self. The spirit had drawn away for the moment from the endless search of pleasure that previous- ly had taken up his days. A vague desire for joys different from those already experienced saturated his soul. He longed for an outlet upon which to pour the flood of his questioning. He contemplated the com- panions who had always been at his bidding. Mirth and Laughter would have come to him, gaily jesting at his lordly summons. But to- night the hilarity that had usually satisfied his mortal self would nol suffice. The intensity of Youth’s desires overpowered his usual gaiety and made him afraid of the hitherto undiscovered depths of his own emotions. As he sat alone by the fire, awed at the knowledge and the appar- ent hopelessness of his indefinable desires, a gentle knocking was heard at the door. “Come in,’’ said Youth, quickly seizing this opportunity to avert his despairing mood. Two lonely Spirits entered and approached his chair. The first was tall, with matronly dignity and a benignity of expression, dark haired and with softest robes of gray and rose. The other was young- er, more beautiful, and of grace which made her slightest gesture a rythmic picture. Her tresses were golden and her garb was of a flow- ing green. “Who are you?” said Youth feigning his usual bravado. The older visitor stepped forward and said in a low, gentle voice. “Youth, I come to you as I shall always come when you have need of me. I am your guardian spirit who has the power to save you from the world’s rebuffs. When your heart questions and you doubt the right- ness and beauty of life, come to me and I shall soothe you as I have served your fathers before you. You wonder who I am, Vouth, I am Dreams and this is my daughter, Beauty, indicating her companion. When I come, Beauty will always be with me for the dreams of Youth are beautiful dreams.” Youth who had listened to all this with great interest, sat trans- fixed with astonishment. ‘‘But why do you come.” he finally cried, “How can you help me?” Dreams answered him smiling. “Yes, you are right, I have a reason for coming. But my purpose is a happy one and it will benefit you. Take heed of what I show you and profit by your vision.” So saying, she loosened a misty gauze scarf and with a languid motion she waved it before her. Youth was strangely lulled by this gesture. Already, his house seemed oddly far away. The distance about him grew greater and all seemed blurred by the slowly whirling veil. Through the clouds that befogged him, he exclaimed, “Dreams, Dreams, where are you taking me? I know not where I am, nor where I go. Tell me, answer me!” His protectress answered in gentle tones, “I am guiding you to the heritage of Youth. Your own country lies before you. Open your eyes and see before you your land, the “Land of Dreams.” Youth opened his eyes and saw as though afar off. a pastoral scene of rustic lovliness. Youths and maidens of Grecian beauty played upon the green sward speckled with light and shadow. A brook sparkled through the picture and farther away could be seen meadows of riotous colored blossoms dancing in the warm morning sun. The boy was delighted with the picture but he hastened onward to the city gates before him. He felt that such scenes could wait for his reflection until Age had come upon him. As he drew nearer the massive, grey walls of the city, he espied the gate-keeper questioning those who wished to enter. Youth was surprised to find that the guardian appeared to be Father Time, him- self. However, he allowed Youth to pass. The ancient man informed the boy that the Spirit of Youth could always enter the happy land, even if the body itself was old and feeble. Youth was in the city itself and he gazed at it stretched before him. To his stupefaction it was much like any other city of his ac- quaintance. There was both a business district and a residential. Some of the homes were very elaborate and others were but humble little cottages with pretty gardens surrounding them. Some of these were untenanted but appeared to be waiting for their masters to take possession. He was conducted through many of them by his protect- ress. “Look at this gorgeous, empty mansion which belonged to the boyhood dreams of a famous millionaire. It is now deserted, for the dreams of its owner have changed. This house and its belongings typified for him, the wealth for which he craved. See. j-ou can tell that it has been used. It brought him no happiness and so he has moved on to humbler dreams. He has changed to a great philan- thropist.” Youth soon found himself in the poorer section of the city. “Do you see this fine, new settlement house?” asked Dreams. “This is the new hope of the man whose house we have just visited. His charity and service to mankind have brought him what money alone can not buy, that most precious gift of happiness. I am his friend so I tell Youth of his example so that you might profit by it.” The youth understood the significance of the story just related to him and he silently vowed to benefit by its hearing. He had suddenly become serious and a prophetic sense of comfort and happiness filled his being. He turned to thank his lady of Dreams, but alas! she was not there. He sprang up. To his astonishment he found himself in his own home, all alone, but very much content. EMELIE J. OPPENHEIM. SHORT- ■ 5T9RIE5. “Tony Qiues His All.” “Me? I knocka heem down. I puncha hees head. For why? He upsetta da fruit stand.” “Am I to understand that you after breaking the plate glass win- dow of Mr. Martino who owns the fruit store on the corner of Union and Alger streets, and demolishing his display of fruit, wilfully at- tacked and injured him?” Tony on the witness stand maintained a sulky silence as this ques- tion was fired by the dapper, overconfident prosecuting attorney. “You attacked the complainant because he accidentally upset your fruit stand with his automobile?” “Hees Ford,” corrected Tony. “His automobile,” insisted the lawyer. Tony nodded. His predicament was not out of the oj dinary. To the court these cases were common. The well-to-do merchant taking advantage of his poor competitor, who barely earning a living on the street, found himself at the end of the case with a large fine and a short sentence. The prosecuting attorney was an expert in settling the case to the advantage of the guilty but wealthy complainant. Know- ing this, the court breathed a bored sigh and changed its position to listen to the lawyer for the defendant. The prosecuting attorney surrendered the floor to his rival feeling perfectly safe. But at the first words of the unknown lawyer his com- posure vanished. The court sat up and took notice. The court rubbed its eyes. It was unbelievable, unthinkable. The court heard all the arguments of the prosecuting attorney torn apart. It heard of the reputation of the complainant, of the family of the defendant, and of various other facts that the prosecuting attorney had either forgot- ten or overlooked. And then the court sat down to await the verdict. Scarcely fifteen minutes had elapsed before the jury returned from the antechamber. The foreman arose and faced the Judge. “Gentlemen of the Jury, have you come to a decision?” “We have,” answered the foreman. “The verdict is—” “Not guilty.” The courtroom was filled with a noisy buzzing followed by ap- plause. Tony turned a tear-stained grateful face to his saviour. “Mista Templeton, I owe you all I have. From my heart come my thanks. I no rich man but I pay you good for dis. I only hav’ lettle money here,” taking from his pocket a much worn leather pouch, “but here you take thees, and the rest will I bring when she come.” Templeton looked at the limp five dollar bill in the outstretched hand and smiled. Taking it he tucked the bill into its palm saying, “No Tony, that belongs to you. I should thank you for coming to me and giving me the case. I need all the practice I can get, and every victory helps. Starting out to practice law is no joke you know. This lady here,” he continued, pointing to a somewhat rotund person who, with a small boy was nearing them, “can use the money to better ad- vantage than I.” Mrs. Tony, for this was she. proceeded to throw herself at the young lawyer in all her gratitude but he, anticipating, swerved and clutched at her hand, and shaking it the meanwhile, sought to stem the tears and sobs that shook her voluminous figure. “Come, come, it’s all over now and your Tony is free. But next time he must use his better judgment. I say there,” he added in a whisper to Tony, “call her off—I can’t stand much more of this.” “ Now then. Mama, go ‘long and cook supper. I come home soon.” Obeying the orders of her lord and master, Mrs. Tony took a fresh hold on her pride and joy and made for the door. By this time the courtroom was almost emptied, leaving Tony and Templeton alone at the farther end. Tony turned to the lawyer. “Now I think I go to Signor. Business I mus’ not forget.” “You’re going? May I ask where.” “I go to keeka da blackguard down. I puncha—.” Tony’s rage made him incoherent and he finished with a string of Italian oaths. “Hold on there, that isn’t the way to go about it. You intend to do the same thing that brought you to court and risk a sentance. That’s a fine idea. See here Tony, how long have you lived here?” “Five year.” “You have lived here five years and enjoyed the privileges of this country for five years without wishing to become a citizen? Your adopted country expects certain things from you, Tony, and you have failed it. In this country you have found the liberty you sought. You have found justice, friends and comfort, and have accepted them, giving nothing in return. We don’t do that in the States, my friend. We pay what we owe to the nation by being good citizens. We try to live de- serving lives, to keep clean minds, to be honest, straight-forward, law- abiding citizens, trustworthy of the confidence placed in us by the na- tion. We follow the acknowledged leaders, and seek in our own small way to lead others who lean on us. To follow the creed. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life.” will gain you noth- ing and I advise you to discontinue it.” “I see, Signor, but how I be a citizen?” Templeton drew out a card and writing an address on it, handed it to Tony. “Go to that address and tell the man what you want and he will help you to become a citizen. If you are puzzled in any way come to me.” “Signor, you are kind. My heart, she thank you.” Templeton smiled and throwing an arm about the others should- ers, led him to the door. In due time and after hard study Tony reached his goal. He be- came a citizen. He gloried in his new found position, his figure straight ened and his eyes brightened. He was no longer a typical foreigner but an average American citizen, with only a certain light in his eye and a gloss in his blue black hair that proclaimed him a child of the mild Italian skies. Tony's business improved and he was soon able to discard his two- wheeled cart and to move into a roomy little shop. Business still im- proved and the shop being all he could wish Tony turned his attention to his home. “Mamma.” he said one night “how you like to move9” Mrs. Tony stared at him, her hands on her hips. “I see nice place. Five rooms and bath.” Mrs. Tony stared and suddenly darted for the bed-room. “Hey, Mamma, where you goin.” “Me? I am goin’ pack.” And thus it was decided. Even little Tony did his bit. Climbing up to a lofty perch he removed his treasures from the mantle piece disloging an ancient cannon ball, a relic from the war. “Tony, come here.” Mamma’s voice was commanding. Young Tony bent his head to obey. BANG! The cannon ball dropped to the floor, splintering the ceiling of the room beneath and lying imbedded. Young Tony was sent to bed chastened and in disgrace. At midnight Tony had finished the heavy packing and was prepar- ing to retire when he heard a door slam. Nothing unusual in that, but it was from the room beneath. And the room beneath was vacant. The door was always locked. Tony turned out the light and kneeled down. The faint gleam of a candle and sound of voices came up through the hole wrought by the cannon ball. Tony stretched his full length upon the carpetless floor, his eyes and ears concentrated upon the tell tale hole. There were, as far as he could gather, five men in the room which was sparsely furnished with as many chairs. The only other piece of furniture was a battered table only the end of which he could see from his limited viewpoint. The hole was directly above the man who did most of the talking. He was dressed in plain shabby clothes, unkept linen and well worn shoes. His hair was tousled and a shaggy beard together with a mustache succeeded in hiding the rest of his face. The ringleader, for so he seemed, was giving orders to his men. Tony lis- tened intently, his face a study. Incredulity, horror, and fear were plainly pictured as each of these sensations took possession of his mind. At the end of an hour all was over, and the nocturnal visitors left, leav- ing Tony huddled up against the wall, horror stricken. Left to think over the conversation, each detail struck him with its full significance and left him numb. The only fact that stood before him was that his beloved Mr. Templeton was in danger. Recently, Tony with his newly acquired art of reading had been an ardent student of the newspaper. He had followed the intricacies of the coming election so well, that not even a brilliant politician could stump him on any question. And why? Because Ralph Templeton, the rising young statesman, was running for the position of Congress- man. Tony had never forgotten the incident of the courthouse, and ir. his simple way had worshipped at a distance his idol who was surprised, but never perplexed at periodic gifts of fruit which arrived at his apan- ment. So ardent was he, that all his friends were won over to his side and if in the election this precinct were the deciding factor, Ralph Tem- pleton surely vcould be elected. During the past hour Tony had heard repeated mention of a name which seemed familiar. Martino—w:here had he heard the name Mar- tino before. Ah—he remembered. These blackguards, fanatical pro- paganda spreaders, had been urged on to violence by Martino. Mart- ino whose property he had once damaged. Martino, whose cunning, damning brain had harbored for all these years a grudge against the lawyer And his Mr. Templeton’s life was in danger. This was the plan of the plotters. Tomorrow night, four days before the election Templeton was to address a large audience in the Auditorium. Renski, the ring-leader, with his men w'as to steal into the building, making his way to the base- ment. This done and his men posted, Renski was to plant a bomb di- rectly beneath the (election) platform, timed in such a way that it would explode at five minutes after ten. This done they were to with- draw immediately but to remain in the vicinity and to report later to Martino. T ony was asssailed with doubts. Should he notify the authorities and run the risk of their failure, or should he depend upon himself? He decided to do the latter. The next day was a nightmare. At all costs he had decided, he must keep the horror from Mamma. Morn- ing, noon and night passed, and by dint of honest labor Tony and his family found themselves in their new home. Eight o’clock came and passed, nine o’clock came and passed, and still Tony fidgetted. Nine fifteen came and Tony muttering something about tobacco, made his way from the house. Hurriedly he walked for a few blocks and then slowing down, began to plan his actions. As he thought, he neared the vicinity of the Auditorium where so many lives were at stake. Call it patriotism, call it loyalty or call it citizenship, something made his blood boil and his hands itch for a weapon to avenge himself upon the wretch who dared to attempt to sacrifice the lives of thousands of Am- erican citizens and above all the life of his adored Mr. Templeton. Looking up at the clock on a church tower, Tony discovered to his surprise and fear that it lacked but five minutes of ten. With a sob in his throat he broke into a mad run that left behind him many indignant pedestrians whom he had unwittingly jostled. Ten blocks to go. A half minute for every block. On, on he ran. Two blocks passed. Five blocks passed. Nine blocks passed. Tony had reached the tenth and last block and at the last stroke of ten entered the immense doomed building. Brushing past the doortender who only half-heartedly at- tempted to detain him, he rushed down the crowded foyer, and coming to a stairway that lead to the basement half stumbled, half slid down the steps. A half minute was gone. The labyrinth windings puzzled Tony and only by instinct did he find the spot where the bomb lay. There still remained two minutes and a half. Tony thrust the unweildy object under his coat- His one thought was to carry it far from the building, as the intricacies of its machinery were too many for him to destroy. So he rushed from the basement up the stairs once more. The very swiftness of the wind seemed imbued in Tony’s rush. He was like a demon flying from celestial revenge, Satan fleeing from Ga- briel’s sword. Through the masses of people, over the marble expanse of the foyer, out of the guarded door, doum the gently sloping steps he flew. A block from the Auditorium was an empty square. Toward this Tony directed his flying footsteps. A terrific explosion split the air. A terrific boom broke the still- ness of the night. All in the Auditorium started up in wonder and fear Well might they fear, they who were once so close to death. Little children cried aloud. Women shook as with ague. Men stood silent as if petrified. But from a nearby street a silent group of men hurried to the scene of the disaster. Incredulously they looked at the proud walls of the Auditorium that still reared themselves in dignified beauty and then at the square. What they saw there caused them, hardened criminals as they were, to start and to shudder. One of them, a Cath- olic, turned his back to the scene and drew a hurried cross in the air before him—for Tony had given his all. FINIS. uq n.” Bill Tavish could not remember when his father had not been do- ing things for him. He had brought him home gifts in alluring paper packages; he had taken him on railway trips or rambling buggy rides; he had puzzled over his problems in arithmetic; he had had his first pair of long trousers made for him by a tailor when the other fellows were glad enough to get “hand-me-downs;” in short, Thomas Tavish had never refused his son anything. The night before Bill started for college he walked blocks and blocks with his father and tried to find words to tell him how much he appreciated all the things he had done for him; but somehow he was inarticulate. It is hard to tell your father that you understand him. The next day Bill went to college, and the months that followed were so interesting that he did not get home for the holidays. He visited a new friend over Thanksgiving and attended a house party at Christmas. In the spring when he was planning to come home he was not the same Bill though the change was largely on the surface. He could have posed for a haberdasher's advertisement. The experts of his fra- ternity had moulded him into a model of “good form.” Of course he wore restrained silk shirts, oxfords when the snow was flying, heather socks and severe dark cravats; and his hair was cut in the proper mode. On the other hand his father back home wore detachable cuffs and comfort shoes and suspenders; and where the gray of his hair met the pink of his neck there was a curve of shaven symmetry. He wore an alpaca coat in summer and did not mind carrying an umbrella when rain threatened. And he had a way of stooping on the elm-shaded lawn to pick a dandelion for his button hole. Bill could wear a gardenia in the lapel of his dinner coat. He knew the proper procedure at a dinner from oyster forks to finger bowls He was at a dinner now. It was spring. Through the windows a breeze came to tease the crocuses of the centerpiece. Tomorrow he would be going home. He glanced round the table at the white shirt fronts and the rich silk dresses. The crocuses made him think of home. He had traveled a long way since he came to college; he un- derstood things better. The girl beside him was speaking. Detach- able cuffs—what had she said about cuffs. “Mr. Kins was saying,” she remarked in a soft voice, “that a stud- ent actually defended Riley as a great American poet; and I tried to point out that people who like Riley and don’t know that Longfellow is passe, have detachable-cuff minds.” She broke off with a light laugh; then she counted off an imaginary tally with a pink fore finger. “Detachable cuffs-shave-necks-suspenders-gaiters. You know Tavoy?’’ “Yes,” said Bill. But he felt a sudden warmth where his collar circled his neck. He seemed to see the tree-arched vista of Maple Street back home and his father’s vigorous form striding rapidly toward him; he could hear his comfort shoes tapping the pavement, see his arms swinging ryth- mically and the detachable cuffs flashing white below the black alpaca sleeves. -x- -x- Bil) woke with a start just as the train was leaving his station. Clutching his suit cases, he ran out, dropped them to the platform and swung off after them. “Well, well!” It was the jovial voice of his father. “Where you going?” “Hello, dad. Didn’t expect to find you here.” Their hands met in the firm, somewhat perfunctory clasp of father meeting son. “We figured you'd get the first train you could.” Bill saw a modest little automobile of ubiquitous make drawn up at the curb. He stared; in the dull light it made him think of all the jokes he had heard about it. He thought of the many cylindered roadsters and the sleek racers that other fellows had at college. “Dad,” he exclaimed in alarm, “you don’t mean you’ve bought th-that?” “Not exactly.” Mr. Tavish replied with boylike embarrassment. “Guy Hardy has been talking to me and giving me a few lessons. He says—” “Don’t believe him. dad.” “Maybe I won’t. But jump in—jump in. Want to drive. Bill.” “No, thanks. ‘Fraid I’d forget and think it was an automobile.” Lying on his bed in the room that had been his since childhood, Bill felt oddly like the child w'ho had lain there so often and threshed out his childish problems. A few hours ago he had thought he was returning—a man; he had even rushed home to show that he was one. And what had he managed to do. Start a fracas, that was all. He heard his parents in the adjoining room; he heard his father’s reso- nant but subdued tones. “Doesn’t seem to be much G. N. round this house today,” he was saying, half whimsically, half-wistfully. G. N. was a Tavish byw’ord that his father had originated and it stood for “good nature.” Bill gripped the pillow under his head and blinked at the ceiling. He had made a bad job in spite of his good intentions. He began to wonder what he had ever done for his father. He heard his father's steps going down the stairs, then across the porch and then down the walk to town. Then because Bill was young and very tired all sounds ceased to him, and he slept. When he awoke the sun was bright with noonday radiance. He went blithely downstairs. He was hungry, and ne was thinking kindly of Tillie, of her roasts and steaks and famous bread biscuits. But as he paused at the front door, thoughts of food sped from him. He was looking at the little automobile drawn up in the shade of the elm. “Did dad buy that car?’’ he hastily demanded of his mother. Mrs. Tavish looking up with widening eyes. “Why of course; didn’t he tell you? He could hardly wait to surprise you with it!” Bill grabbed his coat and hat, ran to the barn and returned with two fish poles; they dangled giddily from the rear of the automobile as he sped through the streets. Fishing was perhaps the only sport that did not thrill Bill Tavish; but his father could fish all day with serene pleasure. As Bill turned into the one business street of the town he felt right with the world; and in spite of his churliness in the morning a thrill ran through him at the feel of the first driving wheel that was his own. At the door of his father’s office he paused, for he realized that the man who bent over the desk looked older than he had looked seven months ago. Time had touched the hair, the face and the broad shoulders. “Call it a day; dad. Were off for a lark.” Mr. Tavish looked up and smiled—a little wearily, Bill thought. “Not now—” “Oh, yes. You’re under orders!” Presently they were at the familiar old creek where minnows rac- ed up and down from one still, deep pool to another. Now and then Bill looked at his father’s profile; it was so strong and yet so kindly. Now, he thought, might be the time to tell his father how proud of him he was, how glad he was simply to be with him and how much ashamed he was of his petulance of the morning. But there would be a better time for telling him. Talking and fishing are not compatible. The sun began to slip toward the tree tops, and a hint of chill came into the air. With a sigh of contentment Mr. Tavish slowly rose and stretched himself. As they reached the automobile a whip-poor-will began calling from the undergrowth. Mr. Tavish paused and listened. “I remember when I first heard whip-poor-wills,” he said slowly, and less to Bill than to himself. “It was the year we came out from York state. I was just a little shaver. I was with your grandfather, Bill—my own father. It’s been a good many years now. but somehow whenever I hear whip-poor-wills I think of him as he was then.” Something pensive like a mist had crept upon Bill; his throat was tight. For he knew that, no matter how old he might grow and no matter what life might bring to fill his days, whenever he heard whip- poor-wills he should always think of his own father just as he looked at this wistful fleeting moment. He turned and jumped into the auto- mobile and he and his father talked and laughed as they glided home- ward. Suddenly Mr. Tavish put his hand on Bill's arm. “Stop a minute.” Bill threw on the brakes; they were beside a tiny railway station. “But there’s no train in sight, dad.” “I know. I’m going inside for a second. I’m going to send a message to your mother.” “Why, we’ll be home before—” But Mr. Tavish was already in- side the station. Mr. Tavish returned to the automobile. “How about giving a greenhorn a chance at the wheel?” “If you’d like to—” Bill was doubtful the night was growing darker; it would be harder to see the road. But they changed places, and the car bounded forward. All at once as they were rounding the curve of the cemetery hill headlights flashed on the tree trunks opposite and whirled straight on ; the glare was blinding. And behind the first lights were two others. With a sharp intake of breath Bill saw that the second automobile was trying to pass the first—and he and his father were bearing down upon them toward the narrow curve. A sudden swing, a long, abrupt plunge and the little automobile shot diagonally from the road. As they plunged down the side of the hill Bill knew that his father had avoided the other automobile by the fraction of a second. Then he knew nothing. The night seemed interminable to Bill. Alternately he stood rigid at the bedside gazing down upon his father’s unconscious form and paced the hallway outside the room. All the events of his life seemed to march before him. He saw his father always doing something for him, always anticipating his wishes, and he saw himself doing nothing in return, merely wanting something else, a better car, a different sort of home. And all the time he kept droning to himself through his parched lips! “If I hadn’t waited; if I’d only told him that I under- stand ; if he could only speak; if I’d only—” The doorbell rang downstairs. He started. Old Dr. Stibbs glanced up and motioned him to answer it. He hurried noiselessly down the stairs, opened the door and automatically took the envelope that a boy held out to him. accepted a pencil and signed his name. Then all at once he found himself staring at the yellow paper in his hand. From it like magic, words seemed to reach him as if in answer to his thoughts: Had a great day. No fish, but lots of G. N. Bring- ing latter with us. Bill is intelligent gentleman; he understands his dad. Someone near drew a curtain. A blue-gray light poured across the room. Against the east trailed pennants of pink and saffron, van- guards of another day. Bill Tavish sank to his knees, and finally the long-pent tears came and bathed his fevered face and made a spot of moisture on the bedspread. His father stirred and smiled. “Lots of G. N.,” he said through the smile. 11 Aduenture’s Quest. There was once upon a time a king who ruled over a far distant land. His authority and influence were so great that his people, speak- ing of him, called him “The World.” He was a ruler whose power could not be questioned and whose slightest word was law. Although sometimes he was very fickle in his preferences, yet once he made a bargain, he carried it out to the letter. Now this king was known to have a daughter whose royal beauty was said to be amazing. However, the fact of her lovliness was but hearsay as the monarch had made the strange and intriguing law that no man should ever gaze at her face and live. The reason for this royal decree was that the king believed that the radiance of his daugh- ter’s beauty was too dazzling for mortal to see and then to be content to return to the vision of earthly pleasures. Accordingly, her counte- nance was veiled and she lived her life in deep seclusion. Because her beauty was thus obscured, she fascinated the curious and she became known by some as “Mystery,” and by others as “The Unknown.” However, in the palace there was one servant bolder than the rest, whose temerity was one day rewarded by a brief glance at the princess. He described her in glowing terms as of exquisite lovliness. “Her skin,” he said, “is of a texture and coloring more beautiful than the milk-white silk from India; her hair is like the black, calm sea when the moon glows on it; the shade of her eyes is as a cool green through a misty fog. Her grace is superb. Her very walk is like the swaying of the lilies when the wind stoops to caress them. She is magnificent!’’ he ended. “I cannot live, knowing that my eyes will never more feast upon her beauty!” “But what wilt thou do?” asked one of his eager audience. “I am banished from happiness forever,” exclaimed the servant. “I must bid my lord, the World, good-bye.” So saying, he entered the king's chamber and was never again seen. Now it so happened that there arose to power and fame in the kingdom, a man whose studious research had delighted the World. The list of inventions and discoveries perfected by this scholar was both long and amazing. The king, wishing to honor him. gave him the title of “Science” and the populace bowed before the venerable man whose star was now in the ascendancy. As time went on. Science devoted himself to the World’s service and completed new devices for the benefit of his ruler. The king wish- ing to reward his benefactor, declared that whatsoever Science asked of him would be granted. The aged scholar seized his opportunity with avidity. “Give me thy daughter, Mystery,” he exclaimed, “and let her be my bride. She is mine by that law of nature that you. the World, can- not deny. The king was first loath to surrender his prized treasure but his word had been given and he would not retract it. At last he con- sented. Then preparations were made for a most magnificent wedding and banquet, while the lonely princess bewailed her unhappy fate. The news of the approaching festivities traveled far and wide. Every potentate but one sent gorgeous gifts to the betrothed pair. The only exception was the young ruler of the neighboring land. His name was Adventure and he ruled the Land of Youth. He, alone, lamented over the World’s bargain. He was young, handsome, with a fiery sparkle in his eye and a selfsure tilt to his head. He had always longed to solve the mystery of the Unknown and to make her his bride. He pondered over his dilemma and tried to puzzle a way out of his problem. He could arrive at no conclusion. He finally resolved to leave his Land of Youth in search of Mystery his beloved. His quest was not completed in a day. He was forced to travel far from his own country in search for his heart’s desire. At in- tervals he was more fortunate and has sometimes succeeded in catch- ing brief glimpses of the Princess. These small successes only served to encourage him to greater efforts. Mystery would never long remain motionless. She flitted from place to place like the ethereal creature that she was. However. Adventure once obtained an answering gaze from the eyes of the Unknown and this revealing look made him more than ever her slave. Her eyes had seemed to plead to him to be not long in delivering her from her ancient master. In the next instant she had disappeared and her pursuer was left to his despair. Nevertheless, the spirit of Adventure will not be downed and he .journeys through life with his optimism unquenched and his spirit un- flagging, firm in his belief that some day. somewhere, somehow, he will capture Mystery and make her his bride. “Susan’s Lesson.” It had all come about so suddenly. Did she really like Paul? If she didn’t what made her think of him all the while? She could hard- ly finish her soda. Ice cream had always tasted good before, but Paul was such a disturbing factor in her mind now that she couldn’t eat. Thus she questioned herself. Was this love? She had once heard her father say that a certain young man of his acquaintance was so wrapped up in a certain young lady that he had reached the stage now where he couldn’t even eat. No wonder Susan was worried. It was just one month since she had met Paul. Before this time he had been one of the many other boys around school who were very desirable but unattainable. Things had begun to happen one day when she got in some fuss at school and had to sit in Miss Peter’s session room across the hall from her own. She chose a seat near the window where she could look out at the group of boys and girls loitering around the school. She fell to dreaming while eating the fudge she had secreted in her desk- Miss Peters, the session room teacher, had left the room for a few mo- ments so Susan had it all to herself. Suddenly the door adjoining the geometry room opened and in walked the subject of her thoughts— Paul Darwin. She had a good chance to observe him as he walked across the room. He was a tall and slenderly built fellow with a pleas- ing face and black curly hair. He was coming right down the very aisle Susan was sitting in and paused at her very seat. Her heart jumped terrifically. “May I please get my books?’’ he asked courteously, smiling down at her. Poor Susan looked at him. blushed and stammered, “Certainly—I was just----going to move across the aisle anyway.-’ Paul sat down then, and gazed fixedly at his desk for a long while Suddenly turning to Susan he said: “Mr. Simon is an old crab, isn’t he? He just kicked me out of class.-’ “Well. I should say he is,” answered Susan although she didn’t know Mr. Simon, but that didn't matter. “Have some fudge ?’- “Darn good fudge.” Paul said, appreciatively sampling some. “Did you make it?” “Yes, have some more.” And Susan passed the bag again and again across the aisle during the hour After that Paul began to take notice of her around school but only in way of speaking to her. One hot night after her lessons were done, Susan sat on the porch reading a magazine. Br-r-r-r-r the telephone bell rang sharply. One long peal and then another and finally she got up to answer it. “Hello,” uncompromisingly. “Hello.” answered a pleasant masculine voice, “is Susan Powers there?” “This is she talking.” came Susan's voice less defiantly. “This is Paul Darwin. Going to be busy next Friday? How about going to the Junior Hop?” “Oh, I’d love to go. Thank you. That's lovely of you to ask me. “Well-----I’m glad you’ll go. I'll see you in school tomorrow and we’ll talk it over. Good bye.” “All right, good bye.” That was the first real date she had ever had. and to make it all the better it was with Paul Darwin, too. But the night of the party had come and gone. Now as she sat meditating over her soda, she wasn’t quite sure whether she liked Paul or not, she couldn’t analyze her feeling- He certainly had been taking things for granted lately. Instead of asking her to go places, he'd say: “Well. I’ll be around to take you to the All Junior Dance.’’ or I’ll be around for the movie to-night.” I’d like somebody new, now, Paul is wonderful, but I'd really like some one else, Bob Rainey, for instance.-’ This last was pure irony, as Bob was the most popular fellow in school, and therefore not to be thought of. Reaching no satisfactory conclusion she finished her soda and sauntered toward home. The tennis court across the way was full of spectators and players so Susan loitered to watch the game. “Hello, watching the game too?” questioned a voice. “Why. hello, yes I just came over to look on a while.” explained Susan. She never thought Bob Rainey would speak to her. He had danced with her a couple of times but he was absolutely to far away from her for her to even think about. He was handsome, the idol of all girls, the captain of a champion football team and a good all-round fellow. Bob glanced at the stunning figure of Susan by his side, looking from the top of her big fluffy hat to the tips of her gray sport oxfords and decided she was a darn good-looking girl. “Do you play tennis?” he questioned. “Oh, yes, I just love it.” was all she could find to say and started to move off toward home. “Going home?’’ queried Bob. “Let me walk a ways with you?” “Yes. do.” All the way home, Susan was in ecstacy although the things they talked about were common enough. When they reached her home Dob asked her: “How would you like to go for a canoe ride tonight? “A canoe ride tonight?” She had a date with Paul, but she’d let him down. She didn’t want to go to the dance anyway. “I'd love to go with you,” she replied. “All right I’ll be around about 8:00 for you.” That evening Susan spent one hour doing her glorious golden hair. Try as she might she could not make it stay firmly in place, it persist- ed in small ringlets about her face. She really looked irrisistible. It was one of those wonderful summer evenings, so famous in fiction. It was a night that made one think of romance, want romance, and even pray for it. Promptly at 8:00 Bob came for Susan and they started for the lake. She never gave poor Paul one thought. Bob was the most desired and popular boy in school so why let Paul mar her evening. To make the most of the time. Bob had brought his uke along to play as they drift- ed. He paddled briskly for awhile, until darkness began to fall, then, letting the paddles go they began to drift leisurely down the lake. They chatted about everybody and everything and Bob played the uke accompanying it with soft nothings intended for her alone, in that low voice so dangerous to girls- Susan and Bob both felt the influence of the summer night, both were intensely conscious of each other. From a popular melody. Bob began to hum softly with appropriate chords: “Drink to me only with thine eyes. And I will pledge with mine. Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask for wine.” Susan was thrilled by his looks and dimpled delightfully, attribut- ing his songs to her charm. Just then they passed beneath a dark bridge. It seemed to Susan as they slowly drifted that it was more like a tunnel than anything else. She wondered when it would end. Bob had stopped playing and both were silent there was no need for talk. Suddenly he leaned over and kissed her soft, full lips. “Susan you are the only girl I ever liked,’’ he whispered softly as he caught her hand. Something like an electrical shock went through her. She knew she could make no resistance because to move the least bit meant an overturned canoe. They were out of the tunnel at last! But Susan couldn’t bring herself to look at Bob whom she felt was star- ing at her. A queer silence brooded, again they were tongue-tied. Finally Bob spoke: “Susan, won't you go with me to the Senior Formal?” She didn’t know whether to be angry or not so she answered: “Yes, I wanted to go awfully bad, I’m glad you asked me.” she readily consented, still under the influence of the summer’s night. Susan kept still about her date with Bob Rainey because she was afraid it would get to Paul and then she would have a lot of explain- ing to do. About a week later, Marie her most intimate friend came to her excitedly: “I had a date with Bob Rainey last night- We went for a canoe ride on Silver Lake.” “You did?” exclaimed Susan. “Yes, he’s crazy about me, he even told me so. And just as we went under that bridge you know at the bend in Silver Lake, he—he kissed me!” finished Marie excitedly hoping to produce an effect. She produced the desired effect and more. “He did,” exclaimed Susan in utter consternation. “Well if that's the sort of a fellow he is—” “What sort do you mean?” questioned Marie. “Never mind, it’s just that I don’t like him, that’s all.” Susan finished lamely. When she was alone once more, her thoughts went back to Paul. “He’s angry at me, now. Oh, I wish he weren’t. I wish I hadn't been so mean. He’s so much more wonderful than Bob Rainey. I’m going to write him a note-” A few moments later, Paul received a little perfumed note and which read: Dear Paul: Won’t you please forgive me for being so mean. Come over to- night and let's be friends. Please; Susan. He frowned and was about to throw the note in the waste basket, but instead took time to think it over, then he smiled and going to his desk he wrote: Dear Susan: You’re foi-given. I’ll be over about 8:00 to see you. Paul. DOROTHY HILLMAN, '23. This year wonderful progress has been made in all branches of Public Speaking. More than ordinary competition prevailed because participation in the semi-finals in oratory qualifies one for membership in the Plorad Club. Fourteen people entered orations which were judged on thought, composition, and delivery. The following people entered orations: Grant Mason—“An Un-American Proposal” Laddie Baker—“The Problem of Americanization” Virginia Sharon—“The New Spirit” Roland Sargent—“Arbitration; A Plea for the Sanctity of Treaties” William Mertz—“The Rights of the American Negro” Elizabeth Herbert—“True Leadership” Robert Gordon—“World Peace” Dorothy Hatch—“The Power of the Press” Virginia Nerreter—“The Problem of World Co-operation” Isabel King—“Character Building” Mary Nickles—“A Plea for Education” Delmar Weber—“Universal Peace” Ferd Heilman—“Man and His Laws” Vernon Praschon—“World Safety” Seven people took part in the semi-finals: V. Sharon R. Sargent D. Weber V. Praschon G. Mason R. Gordon F. Heilman Grant Mason, Ferd Heilman and Vernon Praschon entered the finals. The judges gave Ferd Heilman first place and the right to represent us at the sub-district contest. Vernon Praschon was placed second. The contest was held at Arthur Hill. Ferd Heilman was tied for first place with Arthur Hill’s representative. The judges finally had to resort to percentages and we lost by a very small margin, Ferd ob- taining second place. AFFIRMATIVE DEBATING TEAM NEGATIVE DEBATING TEAM This year debating has gained more prominence than ever before. The two teams have gone further than any debating teams from Sagi- naw have ever gone. An unusually fine group turned out, and besides we had four veterans back. The group competing for places on the teams is as follows: Vernon Praschon Harry Johnston Helen Hill Helen Pattinson Alma Gilbert Grant Mason Pearl Hardy Loraine Gay George Moore Isabel King Georgia Sharpstein Fanny White Breslin Behse Dorothy Wolf The question for debate was “Resolved, that the United States and Canada should jointly construct the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes Waterway to the Atlantic as proposed in the report of the Interna- tional Joint Commission.” The affirmative entered the first league de- bate. Before this debate practice debates for the affirmative were held with Ithaca, St. Louis, Akron, and our negative. The affirmative had bad luck and lost their first debate to Arthur Hill by a score of 2-1. The team was composed of Harry Johnston. Isabel King, and Helen Hill. In the next debate the burden again fell to the affirmative. But this time the team composed of H. Johnston, H. Pattinson and H. Hill defeated Flint unanimously. Then Saginaw had a banner night, winning three victories. Our affirmative team composed of H. Johnston, H. Pattinson, and D. Wolf won a 2-1 victory over Cheboygan at the same time that Pearl Hardy, Isabel King and Helen Hill were defeating Highland Park 3-0. The same night a negative team composed of Georgia Sharpstein, Loraine Gay, and Alma Gilbert defeated Highland Park affirmative 3-0. The negative debated Arthur Hill before the Woman’s Club and lost 2-1. The team composed of Breslin Behse. Lorraine Gay, and Alma Gilbert. Here it seems fitting to mention a practice debate the negative had with St. Louis. They took along with them some affirm- ative who tired of riding and went strolling in the moonlight for a five mile stroll. The next debate was another for the negative. The reg- ular team defeated Lansing 3-0. Then they met Midland and added another victory to their score card. Our victories were sufficient to place us in the final elimination series. The final debate of the series was held at West Branch, where we won 2-1. Before this debate a practice debate was held in chapel between our affirmative and negative. Now the affirmative are exceedingly magnanimous so we allowed them one vote, while we took two. The burden next fell to the negative who defended our laurels against Durand, winning 2-1. We were now one step nearer State Championship. Then an affirmative debater tried the mumps so the negative again debated. On April the 19th, they unanimously de- feated West Branch and on the 20th lost to Cheboygan. Our debating season ended but we all feel proud of the success of both teams who remained one of eight teams out of one hundred forty. HELEN HILL DECLAMATIONS Saginaw was unusually successful this year in the field of declam- ation. Forty freshmen and sophomores entered the contest. Five sur- vived the semi-finals and entered the final contest. They are: Theodore Huss—Napoleon Bonaparte Jessie Hill—Toussaine L’Overture Irene Kynast—The Union Soldier George Tyler—The Unknown Soldier Roland Mongomery—The Basis for an Enduring Peace In the contest Roland Montgomery, a Freshman, won first place The Freshman Class has every reason to feel proud of Mr. Montgom- ery. Second place wras given Irene Kynast, a Sophomore. Special credit must be given to all who participated in the final contest. At the sub-district contest held at Arthur Hill, Roland Montgom- ery won first place again. This meant another red mark for Saginaw. At the district contest held at Flint, Mr. Montgomery was placed fourth. However, we went a long way toward the end-state. ORATORY AND DECLAMATION CONTESTANTS SPECIAL ORATORICAL FEATURE On May the fourth, Saginaw High School entered Vernon Pras- chon in a nation-wide oratorical contest held at Chicago. Contestants from Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. Wisconsin and Montana competed. In all there were twelve who participated. In the final decision Mr. Praschon was awarded second place. This gave Mr. Praschon a prize of $50 and carried the name of “Saginaw” over the United States. HI-Y CLUB The Hi Y is a Young Men’s Christian Association on the high school level. It is operated by high school boys, under the supervision of an adult advisory board. The most interesting, and probably the most important, part of the Hi Y program has to do with service activities. The club makes it a business to be constantly on the alert for opportunities to be of serv- ice to the school and community, and each member of the organiza- tion takes pride in the performance of the tasks assigned to him by the service committee. The Hi Y is the most powerful force for good eristing today in the state of Michigan in that it solves the high school fraternity problem, builds Christian character, provides constructive training in citizen- ship. strengthens the church and Sunday School, and develops commun- ity leaders. The Purpose: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” The Slogan: Clean Living Clean Speech Clean Athletics Clean Scholarship The Dynamic: Contagious Christian Character The Objective: Sacrificial Service Christian Manhood Officers President—Harold Partlo Vice-President—William Mertz Secretary Treasurer—Leslie Stoddard Arnold, Alfred Bacon, Clarence Bacon, Glenn Brown.

The Plorad Society was organized primarily to make Saginaw High School a bigger, better High School. It was hoped that through this organization a standard might be set for all the other students of the school to look up to. The society was destined to include in its membership all those who had done something of note in behalf of their school, those who were of the highest rank in scholarship, and those who were chosen as presidents of the various classes. This included the representatives of the school in the drama, in oratory, declamation, and debating and those students who stood out from the rest as better high school stud- ents. It was then a society composed only of those who had achieved, of those who had proved themselves capable of being leaders among men, a group of people well fitted to set an example for others. In order to achieve this goal of greater efficiency, a meeting was called at the opening of school at which officers of the club were elected and a constitution adopted in order that it might have a guide to help carry out the work of the club. At the same meeting a definite program of events was adopted which included many new plans and practices for the uplifting of the social and educational life of the school. In accordance with the plan adopted a play entitled “The Gypsy Trail” was presented by the club for the purpose of raising funds in order that the society might not give only moral support to the school but material support as well. Since the presentation of the play the club has entered into many new and o'd activities of the school giving its unanimous support. In addition to the many school activities taken part in, the club attempted to hear speakers or other men of excep- tional ability and so brought to Saginaw Mr. Percy McKaye, noted poet and dramatist. It has been the constant aim of the society and its members to give to Saginaw High School a better standing in the educational world and to this end an untiring effort has been given.

Auditor oVvri”5 ovi II I THENCEAN The Thencean Society is a society which was organized in 1908 for the purpose of stimulating a greater interest in good literature. The society has carried out this purpose with meetings at which speeches and interesting readings are given and where only the best literature is taken into consideration. Some of the programs consist in various speeches on well known characters in American History, some on great poets and writers and their works and others on interest- ing current topics. Interest in the work is growing and when possible, arrangements are made to have speakers address the club, which have proved a great value and many inspiring thoughts have been gained. An exchange of representatives with the Alice Freeman Palmer Club of Arthur Hill High School has been made during the year for the first time since the beginning of the society. It is hoped that there be a more frequent occurrence of this as both societies would profit thereby. During the year, the club had one musical program where many enter- taining selections were given and which the girls enjoyed very much. As a special entertainment once a year, the Thencean aims to give an annual party. The last one was given at the Saginaw Canoe Club, which was cleverly and artistically decorated for the occasion. It was a very enjoyable affair for all those who attended. This is not the only party which was given, for many smaller ones (though no less enjoy- able) are given at the schools throughout the year. The proceeds from these entertainments were donated to the Scholarship Fund and were also used in entertaining the girls’ debating team from Highland Park. All the work of the society is supervised by a critic, a member of the faculty who criticizes it in every respect. She is elected at the begin- ning of the first semester and she remains throughout the entire year. Other officers are elected at the beginning of each semester. Officers for first semester were:— President, Elizabeth Wilcox. Vice President, Evelyn Norris. Secretary. Lucille Daily. Treasurer, Dorothy Davis. Member of Student Council, Catherine Denton. Marshall, Mabel Davis. Critic. Miss Larmoyeux. President, Margaret McNally. Vice-President. Emily McCorkle. Secretary, Victoria Wadsworth. Treasurer, Carolyn Pierson. Member of Student Council, Catherine Denton. Marshall, Agness Orr. Critic, Miss Larmoyeux Thirty members of the Thencean are elected by ballot from three upper classes of the high school. The present members are: Officers of second semester:— Elizabeth Beckwith Vivian Bement Ruth Cummings Lucille Daily Dorothy Davis Mabel Davis Catherine Denton Marion Eddy Helen Holland Lois Hamather Madeline Louden Elizabeth Mosteller Helen Moore Evelyn McArthur Emily McCorkle Margaret McNally Isabel MacDonald Ruth Nelson Evelyn Norris Evelyn Ogborn Agnes Orr Evelyn Pollard Ruth Pitcher Carolyn Pierson Ruth Richardson Dorothy Robinson Florence Tennant Elizabeth Wilcox Victoria Wadsworth Dorothy Wolf r AMPHION The Amphion club has been very active this year, due to the efforts of Mrs. Myrtle H. Patterson, and the willingness of the girls to work. The officers were elected Nov. 15 at the regular meeting. They are as follows: President—Dorothy Fox Vice-President—Dorothy Bartlett Secretary and Treasurer—Ruth Mavis Librarian—Mary Carlisle Student Council Member—Dorothy Fox During the year the club has had many engagements. Oct. 17 the girls sang in Chapel. They found an appreciative audience at the Americanization party held in the Gym December 2. On Jan. 24, a musical program was given at the Y. W. C. A. in which the club as well as some of its individual members participated. On this same day the girls sang for the Rotary Club at the Bancroft, and were enthusiastically received. At the annual concert which is given by the music department each year, the Amphion club showed its training to good advantage. Three songs were sung by the club alone which were: “Carmena” by Mildenberg, “Where My Caravan Has Rested” by Lohr, and “Come Out Heart’s Delight” by Ambrose. They also sang “Legend of the Chimes” from “Robin Hood”—DeKovan, and “Bright and Buxom Lassies” from “Martha”—Flotow, with the Boy’s Glee Club accom- panied by the Orchestra. An unusual procedure was that of the Amphion girls appearing at the Mecca Theatre for two days. Mar. 24 and 25, at the three, seven, and nine o’clock shows. It proved very effective, as the audiences were well pleased, and the club was highly complimented by Manager Car- lisle. Palm Sunday, Mar. 25, the club sang at the First Congregational Church. The selections were: “Holy Redeemer”—Marchetti, “Calm as the Night' - -Bohm, and “The Palms”—Fane. The Amphion also sang at the Graduating exercises of the Amer- icanization classes, April 13 in Chapel, and are anticipating a trip to Bay City where they will appear in the new Central school. Each year, students are chosen from the Amphion to take part in the all-Michigan High School Music Contest which is held in Mt. Pleas- ant, Mich. The contest will take place May 24th and 25th and we know that those who represent us at this contest will bring honors to our Amphion.

Reigel Martha Stein Gertrude Schoenow June Wallace Willa Wallace Evelyn Walker ISABEL MacDONALD GLEE CLUB The Glee Club is a musical organization for boys only. Practice is held on every Monday at clearing hour. During the past year the largest activity in which the Glee Club took part was the annual concert of the musical organization of Saginaw High at the Masonic Temple. The Glee Club sang three numbers, which were well received. They also took part in two ensemble numbers, with the Amphion Club and the High School orchestra. The Glee Club will be represented at the state musical contest by a quartet composed of Vincent Picard, Howard Monroe, William Sager, and Vernon Praschan. The Club was under the direction of Mrs. Myrtle Harrington Pat- terson. The accompanist was James McMeekin.

ORCHESTRA Gi’eats oaks from little acorns grow. Thus our school orchestra has from a small member grown to what it should be, one of the most prominent organizations in the school. On a whole everyone of its members have worked hard for its advancement. Last year we had an orchestra of sixteen pieces. We went to Me. Pleasant feeling pretty proud of ourselves. The contest between the orchestras was the last number on the program. We were the last to play. But by the time our turn came we all felt pretty badly over the fact that a school of our size had such a slim looking orchestra along side of other schools of our own size and mostly smaller. This year our outlook is brighter. We have grown somewhat to be sure, now having twenty-six pieces. In a few years with a corres- ponding growth of this kind and the school in back of us we will be able to fully compete with other large schools. Our year’s work is nigh over with and we feel that it has been well spent. We play many delightful numbers and have had several engagements and prospective ones. On October 24-25. we played in chapel giving the school a sample of what we had been doing. Oc- tober'27, found us playing for the Plorad Play, “Gypsy Trail.” at the Auditorium. On December 19, we played for the Christmas entertain- ment given at the Auditorium under the auspices of the Woman’s Club. On that same morning and following day we favored chapel again by playing for them. A delightful concert was given by the music de- partment on February 10 in which we took part. The last of our filled engagements was the Senior Play. We are going to play on May 18, for “The Charm School,” given under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. and our Gym. Ex. The most important enterprise to us and the school is our success at the contest in Mount Pleasant on May 25. We are all working hard for this success and are hoping that it shall be ours and the cup once more. The numbers that we expect to play are “La Traviata,” “Verdi” and “Trailing Arbutus”—Garbett. The members of the orchestra at the present time are as follows: Maurice Rushlow First Violin Edward Seitner ii ii Theodore Speiss ii ti Boris Maile it a Theodore IIuss a a Ford Stewart a a William Sinkpiel a tt Robert Lym a a Ruth Mavis Second Violin Lillian Stuchlik it it Arthur Leverenz it ti Henry Armstrong a a Willard Burt a a Clayton Cornier a a Aunel Bradshaw a tt Emerson Cotie Clarinet Conrad Fisher Flute William Hesse Saxaphone Harold Karls Cornet Felix Kren it Stuart Waltz it Charles Wesson Trombone Robert Richardson Drum Vernon Praschan Double Base Isabel McDonald Piano Mary Bixby it Organ MARY BIXBY STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is one of the most important organizations in our school. It is in reality a representative group of students for the students of the school just as Congress is a representative group of people for the people of the United States. In order to further this idea. I will discuss the Student Council under three different topics: namely, Student Council as an organization of the Student, and as an organization by the Student, and as an organization for the Student. The Student Council is an organization “of the Student. It is composed of two representatives from each of the four classes, elected at the beginning of each year by their respective classes. It has one representative from each of the following school organizations; namely, the Thencean Society, the Plorad Society, the Girl Reserves, the “S” Club, the Music Department and the Board of Control. These repre- sentatives are also elected by their respective organizations at the be- ginning of each year. The Principal of the school automatically be- comes a member of the Student Council. He is our advisor, but he strongly favors and urges independent action among the members of the Council. The Student Council is an organization “by the Students.” One of its main functions is to do everything possible to get in close har- mony with all the students and thereby create a spirit of co-operation among the whole student body. A meeting of the Council is held every Thursday, clearing hour. The organization elects a president and secretary. Through these people the meetings are conducted and the minutes of every meeting taken. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss and solve every important problem that confronts us and the student body, and which is vital to High School interests. If the Council thinks that certain conditions are not exactly what they ought to be it does its utmost to remedy that condition. The Student Council is an organization “for the Student.” It will endeavor to promote the welfare of the student body. It teaches the students true citizenship. In May, every year, the Council conducts a citizenship drive in which ten per cent of the students of every room are elected citizens by the students of the respective rooms. This method of electing the best citizens in school has become a popular one, for the award of an “S” pin is an honor worthy to strive and work for. The Council is proud to say that through the citizenship drive we en- courage true citizenship not only in our school but also in our city. 1 he Student Council, although it has done some remarkable things for the welfare of the students, is not properly recognized by the student body. This is largely due to the current belief that the Council is not a representative student government but that it is con- trolled by the faculty. The writer’s main object throughout the ar- ticle was to adjust this misunderstanding which is dangerous for the further success of the organization, and to bring to light that the Student Council is an organization “of the Student.” “by the Student.” and “for the Student.” MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL ARE: Freshman representatives Burroughs Morley Eleanor Heavenrich David Gage Alice LaMere Isabelle King Frederick Sommers Marion Kubic Martin Rummel Katherine Denton Dorothy Wolf Paul Smith Walter Truckner Dorothy Fox Florence Alice Albright Sophomore representatives Junior representatives Senior representatives Thencean representatives Plorad representatives “S” Club representatives. Board of Control representatives Music Department rep’s. Girl Reserve representatives President, Martin Rummel. Vice-President, Paul Smith. Secretary, Isabelle King. MARTIN RUMMEL.

In connection with the activities of the Student Council, comes the supervision of the annual Citizenship Drive. During the month of May, individual and grade contests added interest and zest to the drive for improvement of school routine. The grades competed upon attendance and punctuality, attitude in chapel, appearance of halls, rooms and grades. Individual competition was keen in the endeavor to outdo all others in excellence of citizenship theme in which the en- tire personnc 1 of the school engaged. The Seniors were placed: first, Marion Kubik; second, Grace Dyer; third, Vincent Picard. The win- ners in each grade were thus qualified for membership in the “S ” Club. Following the precedent established last year, after many excel- lent speeches in school by prominent citizens, dealing with the ideal citizen, citizenship elections were held, based upon the qualities of honesty, pride in appearance of school, followership, courtesy, loyalty, sportsmanship, fellowship, leadership, sense of economic value, obedi- ence and trustworthiness. The following Seniors were elected this year: Room 7 Adair, Phineas Bates, Bernard Behm. Herbert Behse, Breslin Brakenbury, Wayne Daily, Lucille Davis, Mabel Gay, Loraine Gilbert, Alma Gossel, Arlene Hill, Helen Jaffke, Clara Kubik, Marion McNally, Margaret Nelson.

One of the largest turnouts ever witnessed was the result. Tall ones, lean ones, fat ones, every kind of “would-be” players turned out. The prospects were bright when Brown, Rummel, Fredericks. Truckner and Debolt, together with a host of promising material donned their skins. The season of 1922 might well be termed successful. If it had not been for the defeat at the hands of Detroit Northwestern, Saginaw would have won undisputed State Championship honors. This defeat was due to the injury of our fighting Captain, who was taken out of the game after five minutes of play, after which the team lost its moral. The successful season was mostly due to the ability of our Coach, Mr Howard Beatty. Being with us only the second year he established a record which no other coach has ever done. Prospects for a winning team for next year are bright. Captain elect Smith, Fredericks. Debolt, Schultz. Sommers, Bothwell and Krull are the “S” men who will be back together with many of last year’s subs. With these men back, another state championship team is almost assured, and the Class of 1923 wishes them the utmost success. OUR FIRST GAME. Saginaw 26—Alma 0. This game was played at Merrill field due to a new arrangement that was being tried between Arthur Hill and Saginaw. The first game was with Alma again as it had been in previous years. Due to our knowledge of the game we defeated them by a large score. Both our offense and defense showed up well, despite the fact that we were without the service of two regulars, namely Walt Truckner, who in- jured his arm in scrimmage that week, and Ed. Rummel, who had an argument with the goal post the night before. Defeat Lansing 6-0. After two weeks of hard and intensive training we journeyed to Lansing and put that team out of running for the State Championship. This game might well be termed a swimming meet. It was played on Lansing’s new field, which they had plowed up during the summer and due to the rain the day before and the day of the game, we played in a sea of mud. The game lasted nearly two hours. We scored after five minutes of play. Saginaw had the ball in Lansing’s territory but being unable to advance the ball, Brown found it necessary to punt. He punted across the goal line, and Boughton standing on his own twenty yard line attempted to punt, but Fredericks broke it. Debolt recovered and ran unmolested for a touchdown. Outside of this break. Saginaw received none. All important breaks went to Lansing, Saginaw relying on her ability of straight football. Saginaw’s defense showed up better than ever holding the “Big Reds” to one first down. Most of the credit must be given to our cap- tain, Brown, who played his stellar game as usual out-running and out- playing his opponent. Saginaw did not make a first down in the first half, but came back strong in third period and advanced the ball from their own twenty-five yard mark to Lansing’s thirty. In the closing period, Bud Brown, caught a punt and returned it to Saginaw’s 28-yard stripe. For a time it seemed as if he had a clear field, but our galloping Paul overtook him at the 28-yard stripe. The last resort tried by Lansing was forward passing but to no avail, and when the final whistle blew Saginaw had the ball well in Lansing territory. Owosso Swamped 38-0. Saginaw shattered Owosso’s hopes for the Valley as well as for the state. Owosso had high hopes of beating Saginaw, because the previous Saturday they had taken Arthur Hill into camp. This was Owosso’s biggest game of the season and the enthus- iasm was surely well demonstrated. Saginaw did not lack rooters, for many students motored down to witness the game. Saginaw started with a rush taking the ball to Owmsso’s 8 yard stripe, from where Smith failed to score by a drop kick. Owosso punted to mid-field and E. Rummel returned the ball to the 22 yard mark. From here a penalty, and a few line smashes resulted in the first score, Brown going over. Two more touch downs came in the first half. In the third period Saginaw crossed Owosso's line three times. By a series of end runs, in which Smith was unstopable, and line smashes, Rummel and Smith divided the scoring In the last period Saginaw was threatening continuously, but no scores were registered. In this period Brown again met his Waterloo, and was replaced by Arnold, who proved to be a reliable sub; also Sommers proved himself to be a reliable man when he replaced Fred- ericks. Detroit N. W. 10—Saginaw 3. After injuries had caused Captain Brown to leave the game in the first five minutes of play, Saginaw seemed to have lost its fighting spirit and suffered the first and only defeat of the season at the hands of De- troit Northwestern, 10-3. The breaks were all with the visitors, but despite hard luck Saginaw out-played and gained more ground than their oppenents. The only touchdown came in the second period when Detroit advanced the ball to Saginaw’s six yard line. It was fourth down and two to go. and Detroit was stopped cold, but in the play Fredericks was injured and time was taken out, this being the fourth time Saginaw had taken time out. gave Detroit the extra two yards. They had four yards to go and first down. On the first play they ad- vanced the ball one yard, on the next two yards, on the third play they werethrown for a loss of one yard, but on the last play they scored on a quarter-back sneak. Saginaw was robbed of two touchdowns by the officials. Once when Saginaw attempted a drop-kick, which Detroit blocked and De- bolt fell on behind the goal line and another when Smith kicked over the goal line, which Debolt again recovered. Saginaw’s score came in the third period by one, of Smith’s sensational drop-kicks, this one going 40 yards. Saginaw, at the close of the game resorted to forward passing but to no avail, and Detroit had the ball in their own territory when the final whistle blew. THE COME-BACK. Saginaw 46—Pontiac 0. Saginaw, with the old fight still in them and renewed vigor and courage came back strong the following Saturday, and put Pontiac a notch further down in state consideration. Both on defense and offense worked decidedly smoother than in any previous game. The line was opening wide holes for the backfield and their tackles were effective. The backfield were picking their holes and were using their heads on interference and end runs. In the first period Smith crossed Pontiac’s line twice. The first touchdown came after three minutes of play, when Pontiac fumbled and Saginaw recovered. One touchdown was recorded in the second period. In the third period Saginaw scored twice. A series of line smashes resulted in the first touchdown of this period, Rummel taking it over. The other resulted from a blocked pass by Mart. Rummel, which Schultz caught and ran 4 yards for a touchdown. Smith made a final touchdown in the last period. Good-bye Bay City 7-0. Fumbles and poor headwork wasted many of Saginaw’s chances to score and we had to be contented with a 7-0 score over Bay City Cen- tral. In the first period Saginaw had possession of the ball on Bay City's 2 yard stripe, but failed to score due to poor headwork. Bay City punted out of danger and Saginaw with determination and the old fighting spirit marched this time right down the field for a touch- down, Smith taking it across. In the last half Bay City displayed an aerial attack, which start- led Saginaw for a while. Bay City was able to advance the ball well into Saginaw territory, but with the attack once solved, Bay City’s hopes of scoring were shattered. Saginaw held Bay City on her own fifteen yard mark, and a sixteen yard gain by Rummel and a 40 yard punt by Smith put the ball well into Bay City’s territory. Saginaw had possession of the ball when the final whistle blew. Ann Arbor Hopes For State Title Completely Demolished. Ann Arbor was boasting of one of the finest teams in the state, being undefeated up to this time. The game was being watched all over the state. Especially keen interest was shown among University Students. The game was witnessed by more than 5,000 people, including many Saginaw followers. Saginaw’s student body was represented by an enthusiastic group of foot-ball rooters, who motored down in a jit- neybus twenty-five strong, also by many other loyal fans of Saginaw and Ann Arbor. In the first period Ann Arbor started with their famous aerial at- tack, and advanced the ball to Saginaw’s 25 yard stripe from where they scored with a place kick. By an exchange of punts Saginaw took possession of the ball in midfield and with an offensive attack that puz- zled Ann Arbor and that was very effective, Saginaw crossed Ann Ar- bor’s line. The second period was a repetition of the first, Saginaw scoring a touchdown and Ann Arbor a place kick. In the third period neither team gained much. In the last period Ann Arbor by a series of forward passes advanced the ball into Sagi- naw’s territory, only to lose a touchdown through the fumbling of a pass. Brown and Smith did the starring on offense, although Rummel and Bothwell also proved consistent ground gainers. On defense Mart. Rummel and our ends starred and convinced authorities that they should be considered for a place on all-State. MARQUETTE SMOTHERED. Saginaw 77-Marquette 0. By beating Marquette, Upper Peninsula’s Champs by such a wide margin, Saginaw could now lay claim to the state title. Much credit must be given to the visitors, they had a great deal of spirit and were willing to take all they got and always came back for more. The Black and Gold could not be stopped. Out backs advanc- ed the ball at will, and our defense spoiled play after play for the visit- ors. Only once did Marquette make first down and that was when they completed a pass in the last few minutes of play. The game produc- ed no individual stars. The whole team working in unison and play- ing as one man rather than as individuals. Saginaw started with a rush and scored in the first 10 seconds ot play. From then on the scores came rapidly and it was only a matter of endurance as to how high the score would be. BROTHERLY LOVE. Saginaw 34-Arthur Hill 0. The annual Thanksgiving Day struggle at Alumni Field ended in a very disastrous result for the visitors. The victory was dearly won, the diversified attack of the Black and Gold proved to be too much for the Blue and Gold eleven. Saginaw won the toss and elected to kick. Ardussi fumbled Smith’s kick-off and Brown recovered for Saginaw on the A. H. 32 yard line. From here Saginaw, on straight football, pushed the oval across the line for their first touchdown. In the second period Saginaw registered once on a 38 yard pass by Brown to Debolt. In the third period Smith kicked off to Ross, who brought the ball back to the 30 yard line. On the next play, Brown intercepted Ar- dussi’s pass and it was Saginaw’s ball on Arthur Hill’s 40 yard line. With the Saginaw backs alternating in carrying the ball and going at top speed, in six plays the Black and Gold registered once more. The other score in this period was made by Truckner, who intercepted a forward pass on Arthur Hill's 40 yard line and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. In the last period Saginaw scored a touchdown and a safety. Captain Fete Brown and Smith carried the brunt of the Saginaw attack and they did brilliant work, the former largely through the line and the latter mostly off the ends. Rummel and Bothwell also gained con- siderably and always played a steady game. In the line work of De- bolt, Truckner. M. Rummel and Fredericks showed up best. The Hillite stars were Lewis, Shimmers, Schmeigel and Tallon, the latter displaying great ability in returning kick-offs, the most effective work shown against Saginaw that whole year.

U lc BOYS’ BASKETBALL TEAM mi® Immediately after the close of a successful football season. Coach Cansfield issued a call for basketball candidates. His call was an- swered by a good sized squad. There were five letter men back from last year, Captain Brown, Debolt, E. Rummel, Fredericks, and Schultz. The season started well for us with a defeat of Grand Rapids Union’s state champions of the year before by our 18-11 margin. Our squad practiced during Christmas vacation getting in trim for the hard schedule they were facing. The next bame was played in our Gym- nasium, January 12th, Howell’s Class B champs of last year forming the opposition. Although we came out on the short end of a 12-11 score, our team showed excellent teamwork and real fight. Owosso—21 19—Saginaw Just how Owosso happened to turn the tables is yet a mystery to us. Our boys outplayed their opponents in every department, but luck was against them. With the score standing 19-18 in our favor and less than a minute to play, Owosso through some miracle, turned their defeat into victory. Arthur Hill—10 5—Saginaw On January 24th we met Arthur Hill on our own floor and despite the two previous defeats a large and enthusiastic crowd turned out to witness the game. Saginaw started out well, E. Rummel scoring a basket from the center of the floor and Smith caging three fouls, but there our scoring ceased. The first half was fairly even, ending 8-5 in Arthur Hill’s favor. The second half was a walk away for Arthur Hill. Our defense and offense were decidedly off color. Saginaw seemed to have lost all her knowledge of basketball. We were held scoreless in this half; whereas Arthur Hill piled up eleven points. Jackson—28 10—Saginaw Saginaw again went down to a defeat after playing a hard game. The first half was fast and fairly spectacular, but in the second half Jackson came back so strong that when the final whistle blew, we were on the short end of a 28-10 score. Bay City—6 5—Saginaw Owing to the fact that two regulars were out of the game, it was a crippled team that faced Bay City. Cansfield’s revamped five cer- tainly surprised the down river lve when they found out that they did not have a walkaway after all. The wearers of the “Black and Gold” played a great game throughout. Bay City—16 6—Saginaw (There) For the second time this season Saginaw and Bay City met, this time at Bay City. The game was a fast one and hope of a victory was not given up till the final whistle blew. Pontiac—24 19—Saginaw Our team journeyed to Pontiac, February 16th. The “Asylum” quintet certainly knew how to play basketball. Their team-work was excellent and the result was never in doubt. Captain Bothwell and his teammates did their best, but Pontiac kept piling up points and when the final whistle blew, Saginaw again was on the short end of the score. Owosso—6 24—Saginaw The game in our Gymnasium against Owosso was the best game that our team played this year. Our defensive and passing ability showed up very well. Saginaw started out with a rush which never stopped until she had the game without any question. Arthur Hill—23 16 Saginaw For the second time this season the “Blue and Gold” defeated Saginaw. The game started out rather slowly. Arthur Hill scored first, but Saginaw came right back, when Bothwell shot a perfect basket from the center of the floor. The half ended with Saginaw only four points behind. In the second half Saginaw swept the Hillites right off their feet, took the lead and kept it until the last five minutes of play, when Arthur Hill scored four field baskets and two fouls, thus winning the game by a margin of seven points. Ann Arbor—12 6—Saginaw. The last game of the season was played with Ann Arbor in Sag- inaw. This game like most of the others, wras fast and exciting. Our five were in the game all the time, but they lacked encouragement from the school at large. Although Saginaw went through the season with but two victories, it is certain that the team played in fine spirit, that the fault was not solely with them, but somewhat more with the lack of support received from the school and lack of experience on the part of certain members of the team. The class of ’23 wishes these same new members a most successful season next year. GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM The 1923 Girls Basket-ball team, State Champions for the last two years, had a very successful season—losing one out of 12 games. Although the year was started with only three veterans, good ma- terial was available and the result of their work was the very best. The following girls were the “regulars”: Lucille Dailey and Janette Tarr, forwards—Evelyn Ogborn, side-center—Edith Smith, Jumping- center—Loraine Burdick and Captain Evelyn Norris, guards. Two girls—Evelyn Ogborn and Janette Tarr will be left for next year and Miss Ogborn will captain the 1924 team. However, from the number of very good freshmen and others this yeax% a fine team may be looked forward to for next year. The first game of the season was with Bay City. January 5, on our floor. Although the Saginaw team outclassed the Bay City team, the game was a harder fought one than the score might indicate. Out of Saginaw’s 42 points. Lucille Dailey made 38.

The guarding of the Saginaw defensive pair kept the visitors from making more than four baskets. Lucille Dailey gave a pretty exhibition of forward play and made six baskets regardless of the fact that both the Brown City guards spent most of their time on her.

The victory was due mainly to Saginaw’s two fine forwards—Dailey and Tarr—who outclassed their opponents in every way. The Hill centers were very good, mainly because Anna Klemach could get the jump on Edith Smith. Loraine Burdick’s guarding was especially fine and she outshone every girl in a defensive way. The Score: Saginaw (21) (11) Arthur Dailey F Streeter Tarr F Kessel Smith J. C Klemach Ogborn s. c Dice Burdick G Shimmers Norris G Needham On February 2 the team went to Tawas City to play. Lucille Dai- ley, having been ill, was not started until the second quarter. Shirley Bradford taking her place. The score at the beginning of the third quarter was only 6 to 3 and as soon as Miss Dailey was put in the points began to mount. The Tawas City forwards were an exceptional pair —not so much in shooting baskets—but they were the quickest for- ward the Saginaw guards had come up against and it took hard work to hold them down. The Score: Saginaw (35) (15) Tawas City Dailey F King Tarr F E. Wendt Smith J. C M. Wendt Ogborn S.

It was our first experience with these girls and we were a little leary of them, especially as Lucille Dailey had to go back to Saginaw from Tawas City—being too ill to go on. We were handi- capped by a very slippery floor but every Saginaw girl fought her hard- est and we won a rather surprising victory. The Score: Saginaw (27) Tarr ..........

February 23. the team played Owosso on the home floor and the squad was intact for the first time in five weeks. Loraine Burdick and Captain Evelyn Norris divided the time at one defensive station, while Agnes Orr—substitute—played the whole game at the other station and held her forward scoreless. Burdick and Norris put up a good de- fensive game holding Owosso’s star forward to three baskets. Janette Tarr—freshman forward—played a fine game, making 16 of Saginaw’s 22 points. Edith Smith played an exceptionally good game as jump- ing-center. The Score: ;inaw (35) ( 7 ) Owosso Dailey F Donegal! Tarr F Van Liew Smith J. C Marshall Ogborn S. C Bentley Burdick G Williams Norris G Daniels For the first time since basket ball has been played—Arthur Hill girls beat the Saginaw girls—February 28, on Arthur Hill’s floor. The game was called closely and declared by others besides the team, as being unfairly refereed. Captain Norris, guard, was put out in the first quarter by three personal fouls. Orr substituted and lasted until the end of the first half—then McNally was put in and remained throughout the game playing very well. Miss Burdick, the other guard, was put out in the third quarter and Eddy substituted. This defeat was a blow to the Saginaw girls, being the first one of the season—but knowing we still had a chance for State Championship encouraged us somewhat and made us want to fight all the harder in our remaining two games. The Score: Saginaw (18) (29) Arthur Hill Dailey F Streeter Tarr F Needham Smith J.C Klemach Ogborn s. c Burdick G Shimmers Norris G Marks March 2, we played Tawas City on our floor and it was a very list- less, seemingly slow game. The Tawas City forwards were excellent passers and very quick but proved poor basket shooters. The playing of Evelyn Ogborn, side center, stood out above all others. Their op- posing side-centers were tried against her but she only tired them out by her quick team work. The Score: Saginaw (31) (12) Tawas City Dailey .................—. F .......................

Due to the illness of Janette Tarr at the time of the Flint game, Evelyn Busch, freshman forward, was substituted and played very well. The guards did much in bringing about the victory, holding their forwards to three baskets. Evelyn Ogborn and Lucille Dailey put up their usual fine games and Dorothy Schade, substitute for Edith Smith at jumping- center, played very well.

Gardener Burdick G LaRond Norris G Rheingaus Traverse City challenged the Saginaw Girls for a game on March 16, to be played at Traverse City to determine the State Championship and the Saginaw team acknowledged the challenge. The game was not played, however, until Saturday night. March 17 because the Sag- inaw team did not arrive in Traverse until 3 o'clock Saturday morn- ing, being snowbound eleven hours within thirty miles of the city. That game was the most exciting game of the year and the team had a chance to witness the largest crowd that had ever watched them play. After playing—what seemed more like football than basketball—the Saginaw team was victorious and every girl played a fine game. The Traverse City people were very complimentary to the girls, saying that they showed finest exhibition of basketball ever seen in Northern Mich- igan. The team was snow bound in the city until Tuesday morning but during their stay they had perfect treatment. The Score: Saginaw (28) (13) Traverse City Dailey ...................

BASEBALL TEAM As a nucleus for this year’s team there were Captain E. Rummel, Brown, M. Rummel, Bothwell, Schultz, Debolt. The latter two being unable to play on account of scholastic difficulties the rest of the team had to be picked from raw material. The turnout was not up to expec- tations, the preliminary practices were somewhat hampered by the ex- treme coldness of the weather. The untiring efforts of Coach Can- field proved that he is capable of placing a nine on the diamond fighting till the last man is out. The opening game of the season was staged at Alumni Field be- tween Saginaw High and St. Mary’s High. Our team showed up well, piling up fifteen scores in seven innings, making the outlook for a successful season a good one. Saginaw vs. Mt. Pleasant Mt. Pleasant visited Alumni Field for their first game with the Black and Gold team. Owing to the fact that our fielding was weak we were nosed out of a victory, the score being 5 to 3. Saginaw vs. Bay City The Black and Gold dropped their first valley game at Alumni field May 5. Bay City Central proved too much for our team because they made their hits count for runs, while Saginaw did not. The score being Saginaw 5. Bay City 9. Saginaw vs. Kazoo Saginaw journeyed to Kalamazoo on May 11, and was defeated by Kazoo High 5 to 2. Thayer pitched a splendid ball but his defense crumbled behind him. He was only taken for five hits, but seven errors were marked up against Saginaw which proved too much handicap to overcome. Saginaw vs. Battle Creek Following the Kazoo game Saginaw returned to Battle Creek and defeated them by a score of 12 to 3. Benjamin pitched shut-out ball, allowing only five scattered hits. It took Saginaw a while to get started, but after starting, however, they cashed in runs in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth innings to sew up the game. Saginaw vs. Owosso Saginaw suffered its second valley defeat of the season at the hands of Owosso, on May 19th, by the score of 8 to 5. (10 innings). Benja- min allowed only five hits, four less than his opponent, but the six er- rors which were made behind him were responsible for the defeat. Saginaw vs. Bay City Saginaw was shut out by Bay City. The score was 7 to 0. Central got very few hits but they were lucky enough to come at the right time, which enabled them to win the game. Schweinsburg of Bay City was in good form allowing but two hits. TRACK TEAM Track enthusiasm did not run as high this year as last, the result of which was a very small turnout that answered Coach Beatty’s call. The track squad is composed mostly of new materials with the excep- tion of Capt. Smith, Peters. Baker and Brown. The season so far cannot be termed as very successful, Saginaw having lost a dual meet with Lansing, placed seventh in the Kalamazoo state meet and placed tenth in the Ann Arbor state meet. In spite of the showings the track- sters are working hard in preparation for the annual Valley meet which is to be held at Alumni Field June 2. DUAL MEET WITH LANSING Coach Howard Beatty’s seven men track team lost a dual meet to Lansing by a score of 78 to 44, but furnishing the outstanding perform- ances of that afternoon. Captain Paul Smith accounted for seventeen of his teams points. He won the shotput and the pole vault, placed second in the discus and second in the broad jump and third in the high jump. Next to Smith came Peters with ten points, winning first in the hundred yard dash and the 440. Mason accounted for eight, winning the high hurdles and taking second in the low. Baker took the half mile easily and O'Donnell was nosed out by a scant yard in the mile. Brown took third in the 220 dash for Saginaw’s last point. September 5— The charge of the Lighter Brigade.

MARGUERITE COX LANSON DEFORE . “Fellow Class-mates—The nearer this last school year draws to a close, the more fully I realize the fruitlessness of any extended address. The feelings we experience at this time are too generally felt and ap- preciated to need lengthy discourse. As a class we have completed our alloted four years in this school and stand ready for our next step; and as we momentarily pause, some look forward to even higher education in college and university, but by far our greater number see themselves about to enter a world of commerce and business, a world in which men strive to attain that which will give them happiness. Through our training we are fitted to succeed in any branch of endeavor that we may enter. Our experiences in this school have taught us, if we have been willing to learn, the necessity of driving through with the thing we undertake. It is toward this end that high school education is di- rected. Education is not the ability to give the date of a battle, the fine points of a book, the construction of a tangent, or the like. These are good things to know; typewriting, drawing, chemistry are also good things to know; but education is broader. In general words—it is the process of learning to do well the things that should be dene. If one has learned that and missed all else, his four years have not been wasted. In school, we have been learning lessons of citizenship. Now we go into a world which demands those things which we have studied and practiced in a smaller circle. An enlarged opportunity will be ours in which to practice the things that we have learned, and to take up our duties as citizens of our city and our country. In the life that we are entering the honest man is welcomed, the dishonest shunned, the industrious sought after, the indolent despised; yet how many choose to tread the ways of deceit and laziness. It is here that our great advantage lies; we have been repeatedly shown the advantage of right living and clean citizenship. We start with the knowledge that others will have to gain by bitter experience. This advantage together with training in useful pursuits is ours to use. And from this point forward the responsibility falls upon each individual to make his life a success. And what is success. It has no conven- tional form or expression. It is generally as hazy as the means to at- tain it. Success is not merely accomplishing the thing one sets out to do; it has a broader, more spiritual sense, that of service. No achieve- ment is success that is built upon the ruination of others for success is an accomplishment and nothing is accomplished when happiness is de- stroyed. The successful man is he who can meet death with his eyes half closed in a smile; secure in the knowledge that to make the world a better place, he has fought and has done his best. Friends—numberless opportunities lie before is. It rests with us to grasp them and take a useful part in the world's work. Let our ambition be to make the old world a better and a happier place that we have lived in it. Then, do your best and the best ot luck goes with you. But that lies to the future; our thoughts today are more of the past, we look back upon our closing high school life with a sensation of regret at leaving. But, as yet. we do not realize our pleasures, or the value of the services given us; for privileges that we are in the habit of enjoying, are never realized until they are lost. It is safe lo say that we will never realize the true services that our instructors have rendered until they are past and gone. As freshmen we dreaded teach- ers. as sophomores they were a necessary evil, as juniors we were toler- ant, but as seniors we find that they have grown dear; for it is to the faculty that we owe our successes. It is impossible to name a single activity that would have been possible without their constant support. Through four years they have guided us, listened to our tales of woe, and given us a second chance. Individual help was at our call, yet some say that the teachers are not our friends. Our very graduation stands as a monument to their work. We will carry through coming years, the knowledge that they helped us gain, but we will also carry an undying gratitude for their services. We are also indebted to the underclassmen for they have helped us in many of our achievements. To them falls the duty of carrying Saginaw’s proud standards in future years as boldly and triumphantly as has the class of ’23. They will be back next year to carry on the burdens, but this assemblage can never be reconvened. We have met in this old school, as a class for the last time. A few days, a few weeks, and we will be so scattered as to be never reassembled. Eddies of life will carry us apart; friendships that have sprung up and ma- tured through four years of daily contact, will melt away and the friends perhaps never meet again. We can never be reassembled, and of these happiest days of our life, with their freedom from care, their familiar sights, sounds and friendly faces, there remains only a mem- ory. That memory must be cherished and kept ever green, it is our one remaining bond with S. H. S. for the class of ’23 passes, and in pass- ing says—Good-bye.” BRESLIN BEHSE.

In bed at night I roll and toss, Get up in the morning feeling cross, A hole in the matress reveals the cause, Excelsior! At breakfast I tackle the shredded wheat. Pile on sugar to make it sweet, I wonder what makes it so hard to eat, Excelsior! You crank the Ford and start for town, Seats are bumpy, bob up and down, Henry’s upholstery makes you frown. Excelsior! Have you noted the girl with the bushy hair? The man with the vacant questioning stare? Who wonders if there’s anything else there, But Excelsior! I may be peculiar in my way, But there may some time come a day, When all things ring true and they do away With Excelsior! 1 '••••••••' - ♦ •••• Established 1871—Oldest Bank in Saginaw THE Second National Bank SAGINAW, MICHIGAN Capital .

Did they? Six of them recognized it at once. She had inspected every parrot in the store, and the dealer was getting tired. She declared one bird was too green to go with the din- ing room, and another too red for the drawing room and so on. At last she almost settled on a purchase. Then she suddenly asked: “Rut is he a good bird? I mean, I hope he doesn’t use dreadful language.” “E’s a saint, lady,” breathed the dealer, fervently. “Sings ’yms beautifully. I ’ad some parrots wat used to swear crool, but if you’ll believe me. lady, this ’ere bird converted the lot of ’em.” Scene—A cozy parlor, with dim burning lamp. Two persons sit- ting very close together on a couch, a man and a maid of course. Suddenly the youth’s ardor took a painful form and he burst into verse sighing: You are gladness, you are sunshine. You are happiness I trow. You are all to me my darling, That is lovely here below. Not to be outdone the damsel whispered: You are splendor, you are glory, You are handsome, you are true, All there is this side of Heaven, I behold my love, in you.

Some Birds The wife of a Unitarian minister in West Virginia has been mar- ried three times. Her maiden name was “Partridge.” Her first hus-. band’s name was “Robins.” Her second husband’s name was “Spar- row, and the present “Quail.” There are now two young “Robins,” one Sparrow.” and three “Quails.” In the family one grandfather was a “Swan.” and another a “Jay” but he is dead and now a bird of “Paradise.” They live on “Hawk avenue, Eagleville, Canary Islands,” and the fellow who wrote this is a Lyre and a relative of the family.

This is the style of his letter: Please send one of your razors for which I send P. O. order for 50e. P. S.: I have forgotten to enclose the 50c but no doubt a firm of your standing will send one. They replied: We beg to acknowledge your esteemed order and take pleasure in sending the razor which we trust you will like. P. S.: We have forgotten to enclose the razor but no doubt a fel- low of your cheek wont need one. -x- -x- -x- Anyone seen Pete? Pete who? Pet-roleum.

At seven it’s straight At seventeen it’s flush, At twenty-seven it’s bluff. B. Oppermann: “Columbus certainly was some prophet?” Miss Leonard: “Why was he?” Bob: “When he first saw America, he yelled, “See dry land.” “The thing that goes the farthest Towards making life worth while; That costs the least and does the most, Is just a pleasant smile. It’s full of worth and goodness, too, With genial kindness blent; It’s worth a million dollars, And doesn’t cost a cent.” Like Gluey, He Stuck. For hours they had been together on her front porch. The moon cast its tender gleam down on the young and handsome couple, who sat strangely far apart. He sighed. She sighed. Finally: “I wish I had money, dear, he said, I’d travel.” Impulsively, she slipped her hand into his, then, rising swiftly, she sped in the house. Aghast, he looked at his hand. In the palm lay a dime. Pat wasn’t able to read but was as witty as could be. He lived on a farm some miles from the post-office calling there one day when in town the postmaster told him there was a letter from Ireland there for him. but there was two cents due on it. “Please read it for me; I can’t read a word of it.” The postmaster accommodated Pat. “Well now you can keep the letter I know all that is in it. Let the government pay the two cents.” A Sensitive Sole. Colored Rookie: “I’d lahk to have a new pair of shoes, suh.” Sergeant: “Are your shoes worn out?” Colored Rookie: “Worn out!

The Washington Bulletin furnishes any one who asks with various government publications such as cook books, health books, books on building, etc. A newly married couple had acquired a generous supply of them. One evening the bride asked her husband to hand her the “Baking book.” She was contemplating another venture at biscuits. Absent-mindedly he complied and continued his reading to glance up later and find his young wife in tears. He had his first lesson in domestic diplomacy when he saw the title of the book he had given her. “Concretes and How to Mix it.” If They Did It Here A young man was motoring through a small town, the population of which was Norwegian. He hit two pedestrians with his car and went to the justice to give himself up. “I probably killed two Norwegians,” said the motorist. “Veil, ve can’t do nuthing ’bout dat,” said the justice. “You must go to the county seat; dere dey pay de bounty.” -x- A Lincoln Letter When our revered Lincoln was a struggling young lawyer in Springfield, 111. without even a dream of ever being President of the United States, he purchased an extensive law library from a famous publisher in Boston and by a prodigious effort promptly met the pay- ments on his library until finally the last installment was liquidated. At that time a certain irresponsible, shyster lawyer in Springfield wrote this same firm asking for same terms given Mr. Lincoln. Having great faith in Lincoln’s inexorable honesty, this firm wrote Lincoln concerning the purchase of law books desired. Mr. Lincoln promptly forwarded the following reply: “Gentlemen: Party you inquire about has a pasteboard sign on the third pair of stairs. In his office he has one box he sits on, one box he spits in, one box he writes on, and over in one corner there is a large rat hole that will bear looking into. Yours, A. Lincoln.

The visitors were mostly old ladies and one of them stopped at the bed of a Yank and asked him a question he had been asked a score of times before, thus: “How did you come to be wounded, my brave fellow?” “By a shell, ma’am,” replied the hero. “Did it explode?” inquired the lady “No, answered the Yank, rather bored, “it crept up and bit me!” -x- SIDESTEPPING Little Willie was very fond of Albert, the hired man, and together they used to trap around the farm for skunks and muskrats. Last fall Albert was taken ill with pneumonia and died. In the morning Willie's mother said: “Well, Willie, poor Albert died last night.” Willie was very quiet for a time, then looked up, and in an awe- struck voice said, “Have they skinned him yet?-’ -x- -x- -x- ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL An old doctor was a deacon in a church which had suffered long under the pastorate of a most lady-like preacher. Finally a new min- ister was called, and in delight over the vigor of his first sermon the other deacons gathered round the medical man for his verdict. “Well, doctor?” they asked. And the old man breathed relief. “It’s a boy!” he beamed. -x- -x- DEVELOPMENT OF CARNATIONS Carnations only flowered in July fifteen years ago, now there is a variety which will stand outdoor life all the year round, blooming for eight months in succession. -x -x- I AMMONIA NOVICE Man (in drug store) : I want some consecrated lye. The editor laid the paper gently aside, made his will, wrote an af- fecting farewell note to his wife, took out another thousand dollar’s in- surance on his life and lighted the cigar he had been saving for his rich uncle. Old lady: “Oh! conductor, stop the train, my wig blew off.” Conductor: “Never mind, madam, there’s a switch this side of the next train.” Compliments of W M . HESSE JEWELER Watch Inspector for P.

The supervisor of a school was trying to prove that children are lacking in observation. To the children he said. “Now. children, tell me a number to put on the board.” Some child said, “Thirty-six.” The supervisor wrote sixty-three. He asked for another number and seventy-six was given. He wrote sixty-seven. When a third num- ber was asked, a child who apparently had paid no attention, called out, “Theventy-theven, change that you thucker.” Give And Take. For about an hour a man from Denver had been boasting to an Irishman about the magnificence of the Rocky Mountains. “You seem mighty proud of thim mountains,” the Irishman ob- served. “You bet I am.” replied the man from Denver, “and I ought to be, since my ancestors built them.” The Irishman thought this over for a few moments and then asked, “Did you ever happen to hear of the Dead Sea in—in one ov the ould countries?” “Yes, indeed,” replied the man from Denver. “I know all about the Dead Sea.” “Well, did you happen to know that me great grandfather killed the thing?” Consolidated Coal Company MINERS AND SHIPPERS OF Bituminous Coal SAGINAW, MICHIGAN Milton’s offer a complete line of Young Mens’ Men’s Suits.

Baker: “Au, its water gone crazy with the heat.” Badly Mixed. “Are you the boob who edits the society column?” inquired the irate male voice over the phone. “Yes, I am,” timidly responded the man in the newspaper office. “Then I want to give you fair warning,” hissed the voice at the other end of the wire. “I am coming after you and I am armed with a bowie knife and a double-barrelled shotgun!” “Wh what f-for? asked the editor. “Look in Tuesday’s paper,” was the laconic answer. Still bewildered, the editor turned to the files and extracted a copy of Tuesday’s issue. Glancing down the third page, he found that a department store ad had been hopelessly mixed with a wedding an- nouncement. with the following unique result: “The parlors were decorated with sweet peas, and socks and sus- penders at 25 cents the pair. The bride was tastefully outfitted in chiffon over the cheapest apron gingham in town at 7 cents, a wreath of orange blossoms nestling on her elegant blond switch, three-fifty, and carried lillies of the valley tied with a red and green bathrobe at 15 cents apiece. Sandwiches and coffee were served later in the tea room, no order less than ten cents, and the bride and groom will be at home in the bargain counter basement, take the elevator after the January white sale. Every welcome.” He Wanted Credit. A family of darkies lived just across the road from a country store in Virginia and were accustomed to trade their scanty farm produce for groceries. One day little black Jim came into the store somewhat earlier than was his wont, and asked for an “egg’s worth of tea.” Smilingly the merchant filled a diminutive bag and held out his hand for his pay. “Oh!” said the embarrassed boy, “de hen ain’t laid yet.” 90 g !; When Dependable Quality is Low in Prices i; Mercer C®0 :j CLOTHING, HATS GENTS FURNISHINGS :j a 209-211 Genesee Ave. Saginaw.
