Oh, readers, classmates, take it not amiss, Our foreword be an after thought—just this: As in the passing of our high school days Each year seems better than the last to be, Then let us take the pattern of the years And, as we pass along our various ways, Let each succeeding thought, and word, and deed That for S.

The world has enjoyed and suffered the fruits and losses which time itself offers through the efforts of mankind. We can expect nothing from the past, except experience, nor hope to witness again in reality the scenes which have brightened that period of our life. It can mean only interest which is offered by memories and recollections. Now and then we must regret that Time and its successive phases are only lingering companions and must hasten on into eternity before we have been able to appreciate and solve all of their complexities. Today we undoubtedly realize that that part of our life which will later prove to have been our most enjoyable, and at the time of its duration the least appreciated, is now gone. Our High .School days will always remain in our memories. The sports, the social events, every activity; and above all the knowledge which we have derived from the combined efforts of our teachers and ourselves will be of the greatest advantage to us in the new era of life which is now opened before us. Whether we are to continue our schooling in a college or not, we are indeed thrown upon resources unknown to us before. Our responsibilities become more numerous and our means more vague, and it is a game in which we must either lose or win. Let us hope that losing is not our part of the enterprise. But in order to enjoy the happiness that lies in store in well earned success, we must recognize certain points, certain paramount duties before we can expect the slightest return from the world at large. When we say that “you get as much out of the world as you put in,” we are only repeating the wisdom that has been gained in a world of experience, because no one can expect, nor have they a right to demand, any of the world’s profits without first contributing a proportional amount for the maintainance of its institutions and the produc- tive organizations. Unless we have been exceptionally fortunate by receiving patrimonial inheritance, and often times then, we will find this a world of extreme indifference, providing we choose to absorb instead of adding to the advancement of modern civilization. Then again we must observe a moral law, a law which claims that all men in competition and social development, are entitled to courteous treatment and to a square deal. All of the achievements of life, all of the gold and silver that can be amassed can not be appreciated nor can the true enjoyment which is vested in them be fully known unless courtesy and thoughtfullness for others be our predominating features. Let us well consider, now and in the future, that which has made and will make our successes possible and, in doing so, let us not overlook those who have toiled with us in our common end of learning, the teachers. In behalf of the Senior Class of 1924, I desire to thank them most sincerely, to extend the deepest gratitude possible, and to wish them all success in their work. And then, of the individuals of the Senior Class, I wish to ask that, whether falling or rising in the projects of life, they never fail to remember their classmates; never fail to share the blessings of life with them, and with all others with whom we may come in contact. Thus by kindliness and co-operation we may contribute our share in making the world better.

For fear of being late, the first day we all arrived promptly at seven-thirty in the morning. A class meeting was held after we had become accustomed to this strenuous life and the following officers were elected: President—Frederick Sommers Vice-President—Julia White Secretary—Margaret Meyer Treasurer—Elizabeth Kaufeld Student Council Representatives Evelyn MacArthur Arthur Vaughan It was also decided that our class colors be Blue and Gold, the colors of the graduating class of the previous year. On December 23, the Freshman Frolic took place from four to six. It took the form of a Christmas fancy dress party, and we all enjoyed the fancy costumes, dancing, magician’s tricks, and acrobatic stunts. On June 6, the Latin picnic took place in the Gymnasium and was declared a decided success. Thus passed the ordeal of Freshmen life with all its taunts and jeers, and June gave us a much needed rest. In September 1921, two hundred fifty-five of us came back as Sophomores, much older and wiser, but revengeful and ready to make life a burden for the new Freshmen. This year we elected the following officers: President—Carl Burger Vice-President—George Goodboo Secretary—Evelyn MacArthur Treasurer—Mary Carlisle Student Council Representatives Julia White Ferd Heilman On February 24 the Annual Sophomore Spread took place. The entertainment, dancing and refreshments were enjoyed by all. June again arrived and completed the smaller half of our High School career. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 51 For the third time since we had started High School, we were returning. Two hundred fifteen entered the Junior Grade. Many had left school and others had evidently liked Sophomore life too well, for they remained behind. We had these officers: President—Ferd Heilman Vice-President—Fritz Reimann Secretary—Charlotte Cooper Treasurer—Evelyn MacArthur Student Council Representatives Isabel King Frederick Sommers The Junior Play, entitled “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” was presented to an appreciative audience at the Auditorium, May 25, 1923. Dancing followed the play. From the proceeds of this play, $263.51 were given to the Scholarship Fund by the Class of 1924. The first Junior Party in many years, was given June 1, by our class. The Gym was very artistically decorated in the class colors. We hope this will again become an annual affair. For the first time in the history of our class we were allowed to attend the Class Day exercises, where we fell heir to the Senior horn. The day of glory has arrived! The goal has been reached, and as Seniors, we shoulder the responsibilities that our lofty position forces upon us. As we look around, something seems to be missing. Where are the Freshmen? Gone, but not forgotton! The Sophomores arc endeavoring (not in vain) to take their places. As Seniors we elected these officers: President—Ferd Heilman Vice-President—Mary Carlisle Secretary—Margaret Meyer Treasurer—Evelyn Ogbom Student Council Representatives Isabel King Frederick Sommers The executive board of the Aurora was also elected. It consists of Ferd Heilman as editor-in-chief, and Evelyn MacArthur, Mabel Satterlee, Frederick Sommers and James MacMeekin. The Aurora work has been efficiently conducted by our President, and he deserves due credit for his untiring efforts in our behalf. “Agatha’s Aunt” was presented by our class February 8, 1924, and was a most creditable production. Dancing followed. Pearl Thibos and John Frederick, members of this class, were prize winners in the News Courier’s “Greater Saginaw” Essay Contest. Roland Sargent was awarded first place in the Saginaw High School Oratorical Contest held in March. If all are fortunate, about one hundred and fifty will constitute this year’s graduating class. Now we pause an instant on a lighted platform, receive our longed-for diplomas, and begin new epochs in our individual histories. Falling or rising, let us always remember with affection and regard our fellow classmates of 1924. “Praising what is past Makes the remcmberance dear.” MARGARET MEYER NORMA MULHOLLAND 52 AURORA—1924 A Band O’Black and Gold Just a band o’ gold and black, With its symbols dear and bright; To freshman days it takes us back And tells us now our work’s done right. Just a little band o’ gold, With black to bring that gold to fore; Gold and black! those colors bold— So much to every Sophomore. This little band o’ gold and black Reminds us of our Junior days; When, with true aims kept intact, We sought the lore of Senior ways. Just a band o’ black and gold Worn with pride upon our hands Unites the Class, (so we arc told), If scattered e’en in distant lands. Just a band o’ black and gold Doth show a four years’ battle won; The future now alone can hold Those words, my lad or lass, “Well done.” GEORGIA SIIARPSTEIN. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 53 F leeting Years As I was thinking back today, It doesn’t seem so far away When first we started in to school, To learn the multiplication rule. How patiently we learned to read; Each day we studied to succeed. We can’t believe; but it is true, Twelve years have passed for me and you. With childish eagerness we wait To put aside our books and slate; To leave behind our school day woe And start the battle with our hoc. Bespangled looks our future day; No tarnished link can find its way; No darkened path can e’er come in To shadow all the joy therein. So few of us have ever thought How hard our teachers really fought To teach the art of happiness, As well as knowledge and success. Now as we linger at the door And know we’re coming back no more, We try to smile and say good-bye, But we stand mute with tear-dimmed eye. Can it be true, dear chums of mine It very soon is parting time? Who knows if e’er we’ll meet again In happy groups as we have been? Now as we bid a fond good-bye To all our friends of Saginaw High, Let every class mate give a cheer To future days that now are near. IRENE BUSCH. 54 AURORA— 1924 The Social Calendar of the Class of 1924 has been a full one and if it could speak would recall for us all the good times of our four years in old Saginaw High. As Freshmen we naturally were very playful and when told of a grand fancy dress party annually given for the Freshmen we were hilarious. The “Frolic” was a success from start to finish. The Gym. was decorated in the class colors of blue and gold and furnished a pleas- ing background for the different array of costumes chosen by the various pupils. There were clowns, grandmas, Romeos, flowers, Indians and many others. Prizes were given for the prettiest, funniest, and most unique costumes. Refreshments were served and dancing was enjoyed until six o’clock. Our good times were not discontinued when we were Sophomores. The “Spread” was recognized as “one of the best yet” by all authorities. As we were older by that time we were allowed to stay until eight o’clock. “Mrs. Jarley’s Wax Works,” provided the enter- tainment of the evening. The halls and Gym. were decorated and pleasing favors of different sorts were distributed. A “Spread” was served in the hall and a “general good time was had by all.” We considered ourselves quite lucky as Juniors for not only did we have a Junior Play, “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” but we also had a grand Junior Party. It was almost like the “Spread,” for we had some stunts provided by talented members of the class, decorations, favors and some very good food. After supper we danced till nine o’clock. The Junior Play was very successful and we all felt justly proud of the money we made. Finally we stepped into the place of dignified Seniors. Age did not subdue our pleasure loving class and all looked forward to such social functions as the last year might bring forth. The Senior Play, Agatha’s Aunt,” was the very best work the cast could possibly do for '24. With Miss Kitchen’s aid and Mr. Howe’s coaching it turned out to be successful, not only from the standpoint of the play itself, but also from the financial standpoint. As had been done in previous years the audience was asked to join in dancing after the Play. These are the outstanding social events of the four years of our High School career, but these are not all, for we have had some glorious school parties and I believe they have been enjoyed by all the different pupils in school. Memories such as these will never be for- gotten by any of our classmates who have participated in them. EVELYN MacARTIIUR SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 55 Agatha’s Aunt Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The Senior Play is over! Although it is past it is not forgot ton, for how could any person who saw this play at the Auditorium, February 8th, forget such excellent acting and such marvelous portraying of characters. The play opens with Zaida Finch entertaining her regular afternoon callers; one, the Deacon, a man who has been married three times and is considering number four ; the other, Jim Doolittle, who would like to share honors with the Deacon, but so far has not married. It is at this point that Agatha Kent makes her appearance. She is a pretty young girl of nineteen upon whom rests the responsibility of providing for the family, consisting of an aunt and a young brother, Howard, a boy of fourteen who is constantly getting into trouble. He helps out later on when Agatha gets her boarder, and at one time almost lets this man fall over a cliff. But in spite of all this, he is “Just a Typical Boy.” Agatha after a great deal of trouble finally takes a boarder, Mr. Burton Forbes. He has lost his eye sight and has come to what he believes to be the home of a great-aunt of Agatha’s and Agatha, in order to keep him, pretends to be her great-aunt. From this point on the play is full of difficulties which Agatha gets into by this pretending of hers. One of the greatest difficulties which occurred was when Julia Studley, a fiancee of Burton Forbes, and Mrs. Knox, her aunt, arrived. This compels Agatha to take the part of Hepzebah, a maid. Ridgcly Warren, a friend of Burton, arrives and falls in love with Hepzebah. Many more difficulties arise but they are all smoothed out by the end of the last act. Even the Deacon marries again and Jim Doolittle gets Zaida Finch. Of course Burton recovers his eyesight—and—well—you— know—we will leave the rest to your imagination. Mrs. Knox, Phemic Tidd, the real maid, and Ridgcly Warren certainly deserve much 56 AURORA — 1924 credit for the way in which they handled their parts. In fact they put themselves into their characters so well that one forgot who they really were. The Senior Class is under great obligations to Mr. Howe for his services in giving the cast such excellent training. This, together with the interest and fine spirit of the cast, produced a play of which the Class of '24 may well be proud. Zaida Finch Jim Doolittle.

The play centers around the tell-tale telegram, which Mr. Temple writes in an effort to square himself with his wife. She fails to believe a thing he says and he has an old friend of his, come in as a certain John Brown and testify that he spent the night at his home. The play hasn t gone far before the real John Brown and his wife appear and throw things into a turmoil. As no play can be complete without a love affair, Dorothy and Captain Sharpe, who is about to leave England for India, give the audience a real interpretation of one. Credit is certainly due Wiggins, the butler, and Mrs. Fuller who played their parts in excellent style. The cast was well rewarded for their work by a large audience and the credit for this goes to the school. But still greater credit is due Mr. Hopkins, who tried his best to make this, his last play at Saginaw High, a success, and to Miss Jacques who assisted him.

SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 57 SENIOR PLAY CAST JUNIOR PLAY CAST 58 AURORA— 1924 Way off in old India we find the scene, and we’re hoping and praying we’re not in a dream, for an old crystal gazer is about to proceed with the prophecy, of which we arc so badly in need. We might say here that he’s a rare old gent, with grizzled locks and a nose that is bent. His age is uncertain, so we’ve been told, but he has long forgotton when he was a hundred years old. He gains his strange powers from a strong power of will. Stop!—I hear him; we had better be still! “Come into my presence,” said the deep voice of the seer, and into our hearts came a thrill of real fear. “Since ye have asked that I prophecy, listen well, for I shall, and I will not lie.” Saying, Look into my crystal,” as he bade us hence, but we really couldn’t see a bit of sense. His crystal so rare which he claims can’t be beat was really just made of common concrete. “Hush now, don’t speak any more, for I see the Class of Twenty-four. Get out your pencil and pad and I’ll read the fate of each lassie and lad. “Edward Denice is a great chemist,” said he. “He has won the Nobel Prize for nineteen thirty-three. Charlotte Cooper is working as a missionary; among heathens her power is like that of a fairy. Charles Burch has entered the Hall of Fame; most ever}’ engineer recog- nizes his name. Could he be alone at the top and be easy? Not very, her last name was Carlisle, her first still is Mary.” After rubbing the crystal with a cloth black as night, he read the name of Julius White. ‘She’s a photographer of decided renown, having made a movie star of nearly everyone in town. I see a salesman, it’s Frank Bujold; he just looks at his customers and the goods are sold. Laddie Baker is conquering men by a speedy half-mile, and all the women are fond of his smile. A merchant is what will become of Floyd Early, and amidst his success his hair will grow curly. Here’s Ben Franklin, what he is I can’t note, but there arc small brass buttons all over his coat. I see an implement dealer, whose name is Lyman Goes; one sees his advertisements in all of the shows. An artist of fame is Lucille Fox; I see her at an opera in the upper, right box. Ruth Francis and Vernita Praschan are teaching in a rural school and on Sundays they expound the golden rule. What is this in the mist I see? It’s ‘The Follies of Nineteen thirty-three?’ Lucille Knowles is the Prima Donna; she sings to the villian who is William O’Donnell. Carmela Trogan is the ingdnuc; Rubena Tcssman and Genevieve Soltysiak dance as two little boys in blue. Alice Blankerts, Viola Johnson, Florence Jones and Lucille Meeker sing in the SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 59 quartet and it’s the best Zicgfield has had yet. Becker and Bolester do a specialty number; they work together without a blunder. The leading man is Wesley Bartels, the idol of all the Gotham belles. Helen Kabot and Harold Karls are magicians very weird; always their illusions are heartily cheered. Who’s that? Oh—Mary Nickels, Mildred English, Elda Wieehman and Irene Nelson interpret a dance, that was recently imported directly from France. There is also a style show and all the women are dressed just so. Vivian Bemcnt is charming in sport clothes, which command the attention of many beaux. Norma Mul- holland wears a business suit, but for business it seems almost too cute. Virginia Ncrrctcr wears clothes of the old school days; she displays them in very winning ways. James Malone, Russel Moore, William Phelps, Charles Wesson, Kenneth Taylor, and Herbert Karol com- pose a male chorus. They all eat Paul Smith’s cough drop's to keep from being hoarse. Fran- cis Cockerill as stage manager wears puttees and specks, and Fritz Reiman has charge of the electrical effects. When finally ‘The Follies’ end and the time is near dawn, the curtain is rolled by Arthur Vaughan. The crystal now grows dim, for one day’s work is done. You may return on the morrow with the rising of the sun.” When we at last homeward turned, we were entirely satisfied with what we had learned. We resolved to return on the very next day and see once more what the crystal would say. The next morning we arrived somewhere around eight, and were gruffly informed we were two hours late. We thought for a minute our ways here would part, but he polished his crystal and again he did start. “Herein I see a man, it’s Wilbur Boyse; he’s a professor, driving a Rolls Royse. There’s a man with bobbed hair”—“Name’s Cross,” we broke in—“with a flock of‘tame Indians and it looks like he’s boss. I hear music—I see a band of musicians; there’s James Pcnoyer with Ruth Mavis, Georgia Sharpstein, Lillian Stucklik and Robert Lynn. They have a symphony, and'chances to beat them are pretty thin.” “Henry Alberts has become a piano tuner; he should have started on this career sooner. Andrew Blake is a fashionable tailor; he can make a tramp as neat as a sailor. Isabel King is a famous jurist, in her court, justice is surest. Evelyn MacArthur on the stage has gained fame, but her disposition is just the same. Way off in old England I see Wilhelmina Ward; she has become the wife of a great English lord. As great inventors I see Harold and Chester Rank; they have just completed an clastic gas tank. Sara Hollenbach, Helen Heindel and Marie Lee arc famous artists across the sea. A successful man is Fred Mohr, who holds full sway in a grocery store. As an instructor of elocution I see Grace Brown, she can make one act like a king or a clown. Abner Sager is a milk man now, feeding a hundred customers from just one cow. In the Olympics Ed. Peters and Bryson McCulloch are both marked men, they are running a hundred in much less than ten. Ralph Mitchell is an officer of speed, he stops motorists when the limit they exceed. He sends them to Barry Kirn’s court each morning at nine, where they are required to pay ten dollars fine. Thorton Gossel collects the money, and it costs a dollar more if the day isn’t sunny. Dunham Reinig takes men in charge if they disturb the peace for he has lately become Chief of Police. The person responsible for putting him there is Milton Ormes for he is the Mayor.” Our friend now asked to be excused that he might eat and he said that at one o’clock we again would meet. After spending a most anxious hour, we returned again to his magic bower. Beaming upon us the rarest of smiles, he spoke the name of Beulah Isles. “She has spent most of her time writing books—the ones that especially interest cooks. There’s Celia Korklan and Bertha Rosoff who are modistes now and in Fashion’s Alley have made their bow. All men highly respect William Mertz for he has designed collarless shirts. As a baker I see Frances Campbell; her goods being tasty, they are not hard to sell. There is a 60 AURORA—1924 beauty shop; it’s run by Mildred Argyle. She remodels women’s faces and they last quite a while. Elfie Bacon is in the firm as a partner. Women can be beautiful if they listen to her. Charlotte Bowman and Margaret Barton have a confectionery shop; when people go there to eat they never want to stop.” “Here’s a magazine; I can’t distinguish the name but Carl Burger is the editor, that is very plain, and each and every department is headed by one who was your class-mate. The paper, by the way, was established in nineteen hundred twenty-eight. There’s a ‘question and answer’ department by Marie Berryman and Majoric Bell; when some Romeo presents a situation its solution they easily tell. Tom Billington and Stewart Boertman take care of the department of sport; they arc authorities on the gridiron and on the tennis court. Articles on cooking are written by Marie Weiss; the dishes she prepares arc certainly very nice. All mothers arc indebted to Dorothy Schocdcl, for with an alarm clock she has arranged a self-rocking cradle. Diana Halberg and Maxine Endert have a society page and with all the debutantes it is quite the rage. Gertrude Grabowski and Inez Heinbccker have the fashion news, they dictate styles from hats to shoes. Katherine Pinkerton writes the best sellers’ of the time, her latest is a ‘Mystery connected with Crime. Stories of humor and satire, only too true, flourish under the master pen of George Goodboo. Tell all your good friends to take heed, they should get this publication when they want something to read. “There’s John Frederick coaching a college football team. Pearl Thibos is still boosting her pet water scheme. Elizabeth Koepkc is pushing plugs in a telephone booth, ask her about the latest scandal and she’ll give you the truth. Now Roland Sargent comes upon the scene, he’s chauffeur driving a high powered machine. He does seem to look so terribly bored but he certainly is stately in that wonderful Ford. Helen Pelon and Florence Popp have a stylish millinery shop. International problems interest Robert Gordon and Harvey Gudritz. Of late, they have gained great success in many a debate. Marathon baking is the goal of Dorothy Hatch, she makes a thousand and forty cookies out of every batch. John Liskow, Rudolf Mathias, and Harold Someroak had an oil well, but the thing ran dry before they had a chance to sell. Helen and Dorothy Thomas have a tea shop of very high rate, they open at nine in the morning and close in the evening at eight. Ralph Stingcl and Melvin Luetjohann have a chain of butcher shops; they sell a very good line of choice steaks and chops. Astronomy has called the attention of Marie White and she may be seen after dark gazing at stars out of sight. As a school teacher I see Mildred Reinke. The pupils all like her because she never is cranky. I might mention the same time that a kindergarten is conducted by Irma Zahnow and Dorothy Winterstein. Arthur Schartow has taken to higher arts, he paints the benches in the city parks. James MacMeckin and Jack Hedrick with their orchestra have gained quite a reputation, for their jazzy tunes arc known all over the nation. In an office I sec Loretta Marshall and Irene Busch. They have a pri- vate room; on the door it says, “Push.” A prohibition officer is Frederick Sommers. He’s a general nuisance to all rum runners. An information bureau is run by Irma Rabe and Gladys Ram bo. You can go to them and they’ll tell you anything you want to know. San Carlisle is still at large, he was last seen upon a fishing barge. Very industriously engaged is Margaret Meyer; she makes indestructible hair nets out of wire. Ferd Heilman has taken to law; he’s the best little barrister you ever saw. Grace Goodeman and Maesic Schroeder arc taking it easy in the Rocky Mountains where it’s very breezy. John Gillingham has gone from bad to worse, he now is driving a one horse hearse. Elizabeth Kaufeld and Esther Kynast arc teaching Mah Jongg and it seems to me they’ll stop before long. June Wallace and Evelyn Walker have advanced radio by producing a noiseless loud talker. Grace Koenig as a politician is doing it fine. She s playing golf half of the time. Jean Stevenson is now teaching History; why her students SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 61 don’t learn is to her a mystery. As a globe trotter, I see Miss Millicent Schroeder, she nearly lost her balance on Mt. Vesuvious’ crater.” Florence Tennant and Jennie Thompson have taken to domestic science; their position demands a knowledge of each household appliance. There’s Evelyn Pollard and Gladys Sadenwater sitting in the shade, they have a refreshing occupation for they sell lemonade. Beulah Lucas and Etta MacPherson arc teachers of dancing. Their pupils perform in a way most entrancing. Virginia Sharon and Anne Matula made a new car. It’s just a cross between a Ford and a Star. Kenneth Boughncr is a General, but sad to relate, he always gets to war a couple of months late. Rosemary Dierk is a nurse all dressed in white. A few days with the sickest of patients and they’re all right. Mabel Satterlcc is visiting in sunny Italy. I hope she likes the land so far across the sea.” Rudolph Pycha works for Uncle Sam, he’s one of the best sailors ’what am.’ A text book writer is William McClure, and when one uses his work, knowledge is sure. A detective of great fame! It’s Sherlock Holmes Kurtz. He seeks out mystery wherever it lurks. Frank- lin Luxton clerks in a big hotel; when customers arrive he rings a bell. Delmar Weber is an explorer bold, he goes up north but never gets cold. Walter Egloff is a prosperous fruit grower. He gathers the fruit with a lawn mower. Ruth Richardson is the tennis champion of the world, her hair is still bobbed and likewise still curled. A curio seeker is Lucille Fox, she has some very good old clocks. And last is Evelyn Ogborn, but certainly not the least. She has a basketball team that eats victories for its feast.” The crystal gazer then emitted a heart-breaking yawn and stretched his goodly supply of muscle and brawn. He then broke the crystal by dropping it on the floor, because, he said, “It isn’t any good anymore.” And if you don’t like your fate, then just say, “Forsooth, there never was a crystal gazer who ever told the truth.” ELIZABETH B. HERBERT. THOMAS K. DENTON. 62 AURORA— 1924 We, the Class of 1924, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, calling to mind the frailty and uncertainty of our existing life and being desirous of settling our worldly affairs, make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all other last walls and testaments by us heretofore made. And as to our worldly estate, and all property real, personal, or mixed, of which we shall die seized and possessed, or to which we shall be entitled at the time of our decease, we devise, bequeath and dispose thereof in the manner following, to-wit: We bequeath to the Juniors the following items:— Item: The responsibilities of Seniors which are to be found by attending to work and to their business. Providing the said responsibilities are faithfully carried out, we shall award from the residue of our estate, the remaining tickets to our Senior Play, “Agatha’s Aunt.” Item: The privilege of getting to school on time and studying in a way which is be- fitting the dignity of Seniors. Upon arriving at the institute of learning, the cloak rooms may be used to hang any sun-bonnets in, or other head gear no. larger than size eight. Item: The two session rooms, 7 and 8, and the seats therein may be used upon the guarantee that they shall be in no way defaced or harmed. With a great deal of reluctance, we offer in conjunction with the former part of this item, Miss Kitchen as grade principal from whom it wall be necessary to get all excuses and requisitions. Upon doing so, let your conscience be your guide. Item: They may have sole use of the balcony during chapel exercises, on condition that they take the Class of ’24 as their example. Item: We leave to their use the Senior mail box which resides in the Library. Those who receive personal mail through this box may wear a 10 karrot countenance even though it is brass, while being observed looking through its contents. Item: Providing it is found necessary by an assembly of at least fifteen, we give the privilege to them of demonstrating the excellent quality of the water at the corner pump by means of a very substantial submergence. This ordeal may be applied to any lower classman upon inspection. Item: The voting box, which can be found in the closet of Room 7, is placed at their disposal providing no one votes more than twice for an}7 one candidate. Item: We now turn over all of the responsibilities that are connected with the Aurora SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 63 and arc in hopes that they may produce one of exceptional quality in spite of the many opposing factors connected with it. Item: We give into their hands the Class Horn, which must be guarded against all over-anxious Sophomores who may be desirous of possessing it. Item: And last, we give to the Juniors all of the good fortune and luck that the Class of ’24 has enjoyed, in the form of a very precious horse shoe. This must also be guarded with a great deal of care and the class will profit in proportion. Lastly: We do appoint Mr. Drier to be the executor of this, our last will and testament. In testimony whereof, we the said Senior Class, have to this our last will and testament, suscribed our name, this 12th day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand, nine hundred and twenty-four.

IRMA ZAHNOW EDWARD DENICE SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 67 Valedictory Classmates: As you have bestowed upon me the honor of being your Valedictorian, I hope that the few words which I speak will prove of real value. Real value, in that they may leave an impression which will remain after the events of our Graduation have passed. We have completed out first step in life—an accomplishment of which to be proud. Some of us will continue our education, others will go out into the world without further training. But no matter what course we choose, from now on we must depend upon our- selves. Those habits which it has taken us so long to acquire will manifest themselves in our activities within the next few years. They will prove either advantageous or detrimental. Up to this point in our lives we have been under the careful guidance of our teachers and the proctective care of our parents, but from now on we must encounter life relying on our own merits. On looking ahead to the future, youth should have confidence in itself, that supreme ambition or vision, which leads one on to more noble undertakings. If it were not for these ideals becoming realizations through hard work, our world would indeed be an empty one. Youth’s faith, however, must not overstep to the point of over-confidence, for in this state we rate our own judgment too high. The Graduate is apt to think that the diploma which he receives means a proof of his ability, whereas it signifies only preparation and is not a proof of his ability to apply success fully what he has learned. Just as birds break from their shells into a strange world, so, too, we awoke in a strange world upon entering our High School career. After weeks of watchful care from the parents the birds, no longer weaklings, find themselves possessed with the longing to go forth from their warm nest and to try their wings. But upon leaving their home they soon meet with unlooked for obstacles in securing a livelihood. Perhaps we feel that same yearning for adventure and like the birds will soon leave the nest under the guidance of our own initiative. We shall meet with obstacles but by sheer force must overcome Ahem. And who is there that does not feel a thrill at having attained a goal that perhaps the last fellow, beaten, gave up in despair. We are now at the point where we must push the laggard aside and accomplish something worthwhile, for in this world the best man always wins. By constant activity and exercise in values, we become more developed, more experienced and better able to judge our actions. ‘Tis often said that the older one gets the less he knows. That may be true with some, but I think that with us the more we know, the more impressive is the realization that we have as yet acquired but a small amount of knowledge. From the very beginning of our movements in life we are thwarted, we have enemies to encounter and hardships to undergo. However, this struggle and strife serve only to increase the desire to attain our end. Life is but a succession of accomplishments, we take up the work where the last one left off; and when we have finished our tasks our place is filled again by those who follow us, as we once filled the place inherited from our predecessors. In order to hand our workbench, clean, to our successors, the work we do must be done right so that we may leave the world a bit better because we have lived in it. Even though our High School life is past, to us it is invaluable, for by it we may guide our future actions and thus become more able to make better decisions than those who have been so unfortunate as not to complete their High School Course. Those who have had more educational training may be aide to attain higher 68 AURORA — 1924 goals, but those of us who have finished High School are well equipped to cope with the problems of life. In closing I wish to express my deepest gratitude in behalf of the Class, to the Faculty which has been responsible for our successful career through these four preparatory years. To you, Classmates, in farewell, I regret to think that the best four years of our life will soon be memories. However, these memories will be sweet ones, for in those four years we have made acquaintances which will not be forgotton. Now the time has arrived when we must assume responsibility and go our separate pathways in life. May each one of us attain our highest hopes and ambitions.

manual training work, namely, mechanical drawing, woodwork, pattern making, foundry, forging, and machine shop. The first year’s work in manual training includes pattern and foundry, mechanical drawing, and forging. The courses in pattern making and foundry arc closely related, be- cause the product of the foundry depends upon the patterns which arc made in the pattern shop; there patterns are closely checked as to the correctness of construction and shape before being sent to the foundry to be cast. They are then taken to the foundry and moulded and later the castings are made of cast iron or other metals. In mechanical drawing, models are given to the students to draw, various views being required, also they are taught the technique of drafting and the reading of blue prints. In forging, fundamental principles are taught with the use of exercises such as chairs, hooks, bolts, chisels. The students become acquainted with the process of welding, tempering, and heating; they also learn the different kinds of steel and iron, which is a great help in preparing them for machine shop. • The second year’s course is composed of mechanical drawing, woodwork, and machine shop. In woodwork the students, having become familiar with the use of tools in the lower grades, are now given more advanced problems to make, such as lamps, tables, sewing cabi- nets, etc. In mechanical drawing the students are given parts of machines to draw and some of the problems in gearing. Boys entering the machine shop for the first time are taught the names and uses of the tools and later simple exercises are made. In the last year’s course the boys are offered woodwork, mechanical drawing and machine shop. In woodwork the students are given the chance to make some project for themselves, which usually consists of chairs, tables, lamps, etc. In mechanical drawing the students may either take machine drawing or architectural drawing. In the later kind of drawing they draw the plans of buildings and houses. The machine drawing is made up of advanced work in machine construction. Beginning the last year of machine shop, the boys make a few required exercises such as punches, screw drivers and scribes. Later on they make small machine and hand grinders and objects of similar nature. At the end of each year the problems made by the students are usually taken to the Manual Training Exhibition to compete for honors with other schools. HAROLD RANK. 82 AURORA— 1924 Home Economics The Foods Department The girls of Saginaw High School arc given a four year course in foods, including house- hold management, with special emphasis laid on the bugeting of time and money. The work in all the grades during the month of September covers canning, pickling, preserving, and jelly-making—the products being sold to the public. This year four dozen jars of conserves and jellies were sent, along with the donations of the D. A. R., to the soldiers at Camp Custer. The Freshmen girls had a short course in laundry work. This was followed by the study of emergency nursing, including public health (prevention of disease, etc.), and personal hygiene. Foods, their principles, sources, uses, digestion and cost were studied. The subject of the proper foods for children and high school pupils was taken up. Simple breakfast and luncheon dishes were prepared and served. In the Sophomore Grade the study of foods is continued. Also wholesale and retail cuts of meat are studied, breakfast, luncheon and dinner dishes are prepared and served, experiments with yeast, gluten, etc. are made, the subject of calories and the preparation of balanced rations are taken up and each pupil figures out for herself the number of calories required by her per day. The work of the Junior girls covers large quantity cooking, comparative cooking, chil- dren’s diet, invalid diet, household management and the household budget. The Senior Class had large quantity cooking, review of flour mixtures, fancy cookery, household budget, and the planning, preparation and serving of chafing dish suppers, after- noon teas, dinners, etc. The Senior Class planned, prepared, and served on the following occasions: Hi-Y Supper, 40 guests, October 31, 1923. Superintendent’s Luncheon, 6 guests, November 16, 1923. Student Council Dinner, 60 guests, January 16, 1924. Annual Board of Education Dinner, May 12, 1924. The girls also helped to prepare the refreshments for the Americanization Class parties and the Parent-Teachers’ Club meetings. The boys’ class in Camp Cooking includes, besides the regular camp dishes, simple breakfast and luncheon dishes, the setting of the table, and the serving of simple meals. They also study the proper foods for high school boys. The Clothing Department The Clothing Department of Saginaw High is especially valuable to the girls. It enables them to make dresses and other garments, embroider, hemstitch, crochet, and also study different textile fibres. During the Freshmen year a princess-slip, a middy blouse, and a dress are made. The girls also make a thorough study of cotton. The Sophomores spend most of the time making lingerie. However, a gingham dress is made in the spring. Flax is also studied. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 83 The Juniors do art needle-work, make a blouse, undergarments and a dress, and make a study of silk. The Senior girls start their work by making a winter hat. It is very interesting work, consisting of the shaping and bracing of a wire frame, wet willow being stretched over it. When dry, the shape is removed from the frame, wired, and covered with velvet, silk, or other materials and then the hat is trimmed and lined. Then follows the dress making of either wool or silk material. A small child’s dress is made after this, during which time the girls decide what kind of graduation and Baccalaureate dresses they will make. After the graduation dresses arc finished an annual exhibition is given to which the public is invited. The girls act as models in a Style Show, in which they wear either their graduation or their Baccalaureate dresses. The Style Show has always been given successfully, and the girls look forward to it with enthusiasm. HELEN IIEINDEL SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 85 Music is a form of beauty that has extended through the ages to the present days. It is the means by which thousands have poured out the emotions, customs, and habits of the various races. Music is educational as well as entertaining. It should have a place on every one’s course of study as well as in his home. It is one of the highest arts and is recognized as an essential element in the education of the younger generation of today. Music broadens the imagina- tion and develops poetic thoughts in every mind. All people love music, whether classical, operatic, or the so-called popular music of today. One gains a deeper understanding of music through the study of it. One great com- poser said. “Familiarity with the best in music furnishes an appreciation which is a liberal education in itself.” Saginaw High School is fortunate in having a fine Music Department under the personal supervision of Mrs. Myrtle Harrington Patterson, who has charge of the classes and also of musical organizations. In the classes are taught the history of opera, famous operas, biographies of great com- posers, instruments of the orchestra, theory, and music appreciation. After one has acquired the knowledge available in the above list, one has a good understanding of music and is able to converse intelligently on any phase of music. The Amphion is a girl’s club. This club has received much applause for its splendid work in the school musical programs, concerts, and in the churches. The Glee Club is a boys’ organization which is always welcome because of their peppy and “snappy” songs. The Orchestra has won much outside praise. This is due to the fact that the people in the Orchestra and Mrs. Patterson work hard and patiently to acquire excellence. The Annual State Musical Contest which is held in Mt. Pleasant May 15th and 16th, will find Saginaw High School represented by musicians, both instrumental and vocal. As a rule, Saginaw finds it rather easy to earn some of the trophies at this contest, and this year hopes for first place are high.

MILTON ORMES ’24 ii.no m u) SAGINAW SENIOR H IGH SCHOOL 91 9 2 AURORA— 1924 Completion of the activities of the Class of '24, will also mark the finish of a very success- ful and encouraging advancement in the work of the Public Speaking Department of Saginaw High School. Although keen opposition and slight disappointment have been met with, because of the failure of our debating teams to enter into final contests, yet we are proud, and justly too, of the record made in the past year by our representatives. It is again com- forting to note that success is not always measured by victory. The first debate was staged with Arthur Hill, the question under discussion being— “Resolved, that the Adoption of a Ship Subsidy would be a Wise National Policy.” Our affirmative team was composed of Jessie Hill, Robert Gordon and Edward Dcnice, and we lost by a decision of 2:1. The next debate was with and at Caro. The question debated was the same as that of the former debate, with Saginaw presenting a negative team, which was composed of Jessie Hill, Irene Kynast, and Roland Sargent. The result was indeed at our cost, a decision of 3:0 being rendered against us. This defeat was truly due to nothing more nor less than the use of excess candy. Our negative debating team was next seen at Flint, its respective members being: Irene Kynast, June Knacbel, and Roland Sargent. Saginaw was victorious by a decision of 2:1— Well done! The next event occurred when Owosso ventured to our city. They were met by three of our reliables, Roland Sargent, Robert Gordon, and Jessie Hill. We were again surprized by a decision of 2:1 against us. This concluded the schedule, but it is believed by those who thoroughly know the facts concerning each decision that Saginaw only lost one debate de- cisively. The outlook for next year’s debating abilities is good, because three experienced varsity debaters will again take part. There are also several Juniors and a few Sophomores who have had training and who will be useful next year. This year has been the first time that debating has been open to Juniors and a number of selective Sophomores. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 93 Oratory and Declamation The work this year in Oratory and Declamation was according to a different plan. Many who would have contested were eliminated before the real contest was even started, and only two contests were held, a semi-final and a final. In the semi-finals seventeen orators and thirty-five declaimers took part. The four orators who finally competed for the sub-district contest were: Roland Sargent, Delmar Weber, Elizabeth Plumb, and Irene Kynast. From these four two were chosen, Roland Sargent, first, and Delmar Weber, second. The four declaimers chosen from the finals were: Theodore Will, Virginia Frueh, Vir- ginia Busch, and Birdie Duglcder. From these were chosen two, Theodore Will, first, and Virginia Frueh, second, to compete in the sub-district contest. In the sub-district contest held at Bay City seven schools competed, Theodore Will winning first place by two firsts and one second in Declamation. In Oratory we received third place, being but three points behind the winner. RALPH STINCEL. AURORA 1924 DEBATING TEAMS WINNERS IN ORATORY AND DECLAMATION SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 95 The leaders of the present-day school system admit that the object of the schools is not only to instill learning in the minds of the pupils, but also to teach them the principles of good citizenship, in order that, after graduation, they may be intelligent voters and active members of the city, state, and national governments. Very few of our studies emphasize this suffi- ciently, tho each orderly and interested class is a demonstration of good citizenship. Even in the case of Civics, American History, and Economics, we are unable to be certain as to whether or not they are inspirational in a practical way, even tho presenting the ideal. But of a few things we can be certain. A decrease in illiteracy surely tends to produce better behavior among citizens, and Geography and History help people to read newspapers with more understanding. But these are studies of the lower grades. No one can say of what definite value is the study of Mathematics, Languages, History, and Science. It is now pretty widely accepted that training for citizenship cannot be achieved through textbook instruction alone; to that instruction must be added student activities. As a form of education for citizenship, Saginaw High School is using student participa- tion in school management. The pupils are encouraged to look upon the interests of the school as their interests, and they elect representatives to the Student Council. Thus they are molded into citizens of a small community, and there they receive suggestions and prac- tice which will be valuable in their future life. But the Student Council is small, and only a comparative few students receive training in it, so another plan is also used. During the latter part of each school year Saginaw High School conducts a Citizenship Drive. Each pupil is required to write an essay, a story, a poem, or an oration, giving his idea of good citizenship and what it means to the community and to the nation. The best production is printed in the Aurora, the second best in the newspapers, and the third best in the Student Lantern. In addition to the contest, elections are held for the purpose of finding who are the best citizens in the school. Each ballot used in this election has a list of the eleven most important qualities that a good citizen should possess. They arc:— Honesty Fellowship Pride in the Appearance of the School Followership Courtesy Loyalty Sportsmanship Leadership Sense of Economic Value Obedience Trustworthiness. The voters fill in after each of the above headings the name of the pupils who are their 96 AURORA— 1924 first and second choices, and the highest fifteen per cent are elected as representative good citizens, worthy of Wearing the citizenship “S,” a small, gold shield-shaped pin. If the pin is won for the first time, it bears only an “S,” but if won for the second time, it has one star, and if for the third time two stars; 1924 is the third year such pins will be awarded. Speeches in chapel by prominent men of the city also help to arouse enthusiasm. We have been told time and again that the future of the country lies with us, the citi- zens of tomorrow. Let us be active, share the burdens of the country, and help to lead our country to a higher place in the history of the world. WILBUR BOYSE, '24. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 97 98 AURORA 1924 In a way similar to that in which our National Government is managed, Saginaw High School has endeavored to carry out its problems by means of the Student Council. In this body, a great many of the leading issues, with which the school is confronted, are thoroughly discussed and, if found to be completely satisfactory, are approved of and applied in the most logical way. Matters concerning citizenship, scholarship, memorials, matters of civic interest to the community at large, (such as the present pure-water problems) and even matters of judicial importance, all find their way into this organization. This organization is no doubt one of the school s greatest assets from the fact that it gives the students an opportunity to become acquainted with executive work, as well as to benefit the school by having its problems well balanced and effectively handled. Practically every society and organization in the school is represented. The president of each body, automatically becomes the representative of that body because he is thor- oughly acquainted with the work taken up in the society and has more influence in returning the decisions made by the Council. This year has been one of the most successful ever experienced by the Student Council and we sincerely hope that the Councils in the future may be able to carry on the prescribed work which will be expected of them in order to keep the interests of the school alive.

The first thing the Plorad did this year was to choose a cast (with the aid of Mr. Howe) to present the play, “Only 38,“ which is discussed in detail elsewhere 'n this publication. It was decided by the Club that a financial report should be read at each meeting, thereby SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 101 making every member familiar with the receipts and expenditures of the Club. This action necessitated a treasurer and Isabel King was elected. Mr. Langdon gave the Plorad permission to conduct a Chapel. This was done by having the members sit in a reserved section of the assembly room and the President, Thomas Denton, presided as at an ordinary Plorad meeting. The purpose of this was to make the student body more familiar with the Plorad Society and its work. Another thing of importance which must be included in our record is the First Annual Plorad Ball” which was given March twenty-first in the Gymnasium. It was under the general supervision of Thomas Denton who was assisted by several committees. All the attractions of a formal dancing party were offered in a more or less informal manner and the party was declared a success by all who attended. In view of the fact that this was the first social effort on the part of the Plorad Society, its great success should be commended. On behalf of the members who make their exit with the Class of ’24, I wish to express our feeling of interest and gratification to the Plorad, and to the members of the coming classes we wish to extend our heartiest wishes for your future success and hope that thru your efforts the Plorad will remain a shining light in the activities of Saginaw High School.

Since that time the Club enrollment has grown to the present quota of fifty-one girls,—a group affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. International Organization of 177.000 girls, having an organized honor system with fundamental principles based on World Fellowship and Service. The purpose of the organization embodies the Spirit of Service. During the last year, the Mary Alice Finney Club aided the Red Cross in their annual membership campaign, the Anti-Tuberculosis Society with their sale of Christmas Seals, and the Associated Charities in spreading holiday cheer at Thanksgiving and Christmas time. Their school spirit has been manifested by their interest in school activities and by service rendered in ushering at various school affairs. The Girl Reserves have been hostesses at a number of enjoyable dancing parties for High School students, in the Gymnasium of the School and at the Y. W. C. A., upholding high standards of dancing and music. A meeting is held each week during the school year. One meeting a month is devoted to business, one to program, one to service, and one to social activity. The annual social affairs include a banquet at the close of the school year, the Faculty tea, Mother and Daughter day, and the mid-winter dance.

The society has enjoyed a very successful year, both in its social and business enterprises,and has done all it could to promote further interest in literature. The lives and works of modern writers have been discussed together with other subjects of interest. The Thencean gave the first All-School dance in the Gym., during the month of October. With the money earned by this dance, the big “Annual” party was given in December, and proved one of the biggest and most enjoyable affairs the Thencean has ever given. A great deal of credit is due Evelyn MacArthur who was general chairman of the party. At the close of the year the proceeds from this party were given to the Alumni Scholarship Fund.

The student body, faculty and everyone connected with Saginaw have one thought and that is,— FIGHT, SAGINAW, FIGHT.” Although we lost many good men by graduation last June and by the eligibility rules, a sufficient number returned to form the main gears of the wonderful machine Coach Howard Beatty turned out. Coach Beatty, with the aid of Peter Brown, had been pounding football into the new men and polishing off the rough spots of the veterans. About 50 men reported on the first day, 6 S’ men and 8 “R” men. The rest were new men, some who had little knowledge of football or knew nothing at all about it. There were about 30 men out the whole season plugging away, hoping and praying for a position on the first squad, and those who did not make the team this year and do not graduate arc sure to make the team next fall. ma 0 • Saginaw 38 'The first victory of the season was attained by downing Alma by a score of 38 to 0. Saginaw’s first touchdown came early in the first quarter. By recovering an Alrra fumble on Alma's 35 yard line, and by using straight football, Saginaw rushed over the goal, Bothwcll negotiating the last eight yards for the first score. I he first quarter ended with the ball in Saginaw’s possession on Alma’s 5 yard line. In the next quarter McLeod covered this ground for a second touchdown. Phelps, our husky tackle, also accounted for a touchdown by recovering an incomplete pass behind Saginaw’s goal line. Captain Smith’s old time kicking toe showed its old stuff by placing the ball between the goal posts seven out of eight trys. The subs also showed their stuff by making big gains and opening Alma’s line a great many times. Billington took advantage of this opportunity by breaking up many of Alma’s plays. Grand Rapids Catholic Central—0 Saginaw—14 In the second game of the season Saginaw looked like a team of eleven veterans, com- pleting the plays with the old snap and decision that we are so well noted for. Grand Rapids scrappy bunch did not interfere with Jerome and Frederick in breaking up plays. After Jerome landed on a punt blocked by Frederick it took only seven successive plays of straight bootfall for our first touchdown. Another touchdown followed by a line plunge by Bothwcll. In the second half Grand Rapids played much better football and ripped off some long gains, but the Saginaw line held when in danger. Our opponents, knowing of Smith’s ability kept an “eagle eye” on him, and stopped him from making any long gains. Owosso—0 Saginaw—15 As the whistle blew at 2:30 twenty-two men appeared on the field with bright suits, but after the first play an Owosso man could hardly be distinguished from one of our men, because of the heavy mud which covered the entire field. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 121 In the first half Saginaw threatened several times but, due to the slippery ball, many fumbles resulted that made it very difficult to advance the ball. The first half was scoreless. In the third period, Beechler, the Owosso punter, attempted a punt from behind his goal line, but was tackled by a Saginaw player, which resulted in a safety. Coach Beatty put Captain Smith in the game, having kept him out on account of his injured leg. He immediately ripped off a 35 yard run, netting us a touchdown. Frederick, our six foot center, accounted for the final score by recovering an Owosso fumble behind the goal line. Detroit Northwestern 7 Saginaw 6 After Saginaw received the ball on the kickoff, it looked as if we were going through for a touchdown, but due to an untimely fumble, Saginaw lost its first scoring chance. The Colts came back strong. After a few ragged tackles on the part of Saginaw, fullback Simmons slipped through the secondary defense and crossed the line for the first score of the game. They then added another point by a perfect dropkick. In the second period, Saginaw came back strong. With a determined march from mid- field and by several successful plays they crossed the Detroit line, but the extra point was lost by a bad pass. Thus the half ended 7-6, favor Detroit. In the last half Saginaw threatened several times, but the breaks seemed to be against them. Saginaw, in an effort to overcome the opponents lead, opened up with a series of forward passes, many of which were completed, but the ‘‘Old Colt Jinx seemed to work against us. The game ended on Detroit’s 15 yard line after two downs. Frederick, our All-State Center, was the shining light of the game. He was in every play. Bothwcll, O’Donnell and Carlisle were consistent ground gainers throughout the game. Bay City -3 Saginaw—7 After a scoreless half which was bitterly fought by both teams, the Ncvitts managed to take the lead in the third quarter by a pretty dropkick by their quarter, Bill Anderson. After completing this play, things looked gloomy as Bay City again advanced the ball to Saginaw’s 2 yard line, but the Saginaw line held. From then on Saginaw showed the old stuff and, after an apparent place kick foimation. Smith received a forward pass and fell over the line. He also kicked the goal for the seventh point. Saginaw again threatened when they attempted a place kick which was just a little wide. The game ended in Saginaw territory. Pontiac—7 Saginaw 0 Saginaw lost another game to Pontiac, not by poor playing, but by an old time cross buck that simply pulled the wool over our eyes and crossed the goal for seven points. The game was a hot one all the way through, no team scoring until the fourth period, when Saginaw held Pontiac for three downs on the five yard stripe, and then Pontiac pulled their successful play. Both Saginaw’s and Pontiac’s line was like a stone wall. Saginaw never once pierced their line, but used forward passes to make all our gains. Pontiac only went through our line once and that was after a long pass. It is not stretching the truth to say that the field was in terrible shape for football, but inasmuch as the Pontiac boys took it so well, it seems a poor excuse for us. The only alibi for our downfall to Pontiac is their lucky crossbuck. 122 AURORA— 1924 Ann Arbor 7 Saginaw -7 From the first kickoff Saginaw played football the “likes” of which they have not shown before this season. They outfought and outkicked the Ann Arborites and were in good scoring chances several times only to be cheated out of it by some piece of bad luck. In the second period, after some pretty playing, Saginaw slipped off from a pretty scoring chance through a fumble. In the next period Ann Arbor got some lucky breaks and from Saginaw’s 16 yard line made a march down the field and crossed the goal. They then kicked for the extra point. In the closing minutes of the game Saginaw came back strong and determined to win as is shown by a march of 87 yards that netted them the touchdown. As Botlnvcll went over the goal the whistle blew which ended the game. Smith then calmly put over the tying count. Bothwell was the outstanding star for Saginaw and was aided materially by Smith, Carlisle and McPhilimy, who replaced Carlisle in the second quarter. McPhilimy played a whale of a game. 9 Saginaw—0 The only logical explanation of our defeat by Flint, was that Flint, took every advantage of its scoring chances, while ill luck seemed to be against us in the pinches. Time and again Saginaw advanced the ball to within scoring distance but failed to cash in their opportunities. Mint s first score was accounted for by a perfect placekick which gave them three points. At the beginning of the second half, Saginaw looked pretty dangerous, but again were unable to score. The fourth period gave Flint their other six points by an 80 yard march for a touchdown. In all of the offensive plays that Saginaw staged Bothwell and Smith registered most of the gains, both by their passing and line plunging. Frederick and also Bothwell played best on the defensive. Lansing -7 Saginaw-0 Due to a doubtable decision, another defeat was handed to Saginaw. Lansing’s score came in the closing minutes of the second period, as the result of an intercepted forward pass, a sensational run by Center Barrett, a forward pass with that rather queer decision of the official and four plunges from the two yard line. Because of Saginaw s weak defense the ball remained in Saginaw territory most of the game, although Bothwell made several long gains. Frederick played his best game of the season against the “Reds” bv showing wonderful exhibition of defensive football, hardly ever seen in a high school player. In the second and third quarter Lansing threatened several times, but here the “Black and Gold” line held. Arthur Hill 7 Saginaw 7 Saginaw and Arthur Hill clash in an all Turkey Day Game. Played before a crowd of about 5,000 wildly excited gridiron fans, on the home lot of the est Sidcrs, Merrill Field, under perfect weather conditions, it was a game replete with thrills and excitement. Did our men play.' I m telling you they did. Never in all the history of this annual I urkey Day classic have they fought so hard. They put all the pep and vim into the game that could be possible. It was a game of thrills from the time our men rushed out on the field till the very last second of the game. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 123 Of course, we were somewhat disappointed because we didn’t trounce the Arthur Hill eleven but to the impartial observer it was a great game of football. We were there with the real stuff. Our men had the determination and pep and we backed them with the honest to goodness school spirit. Just look over the story of this game play by play then there will be no doubt in your mind, that this girne was the biggest and best ever staged by Saginaw and Arthur Hill. Story of the Game, Play by Play MERRILL FIELD, Nov. 29:— Arthur Hill won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Saginaw received the kickoff. First Quarter Tallon kicked off for Arthur Hill to Carlisle on Saginaw’s 22 yard line and he returned it to the SO yard line. Bothwcll. Smith, O’Donnell and Carlisle all took turns at advancing the ball and were going through' the Arthur Hill line almost at will. Smith went around Arthur Hill’s left end for the touchdown. Smith kicked goal for the extra point. Time out to tape Johnny Frederick’s hand. Smith kicked off to Davis who returned it to the 25 yard line. Wray made 17 yards for the first down. A penalty gave Arthur Hill a first down on its own 49 yard stripe. Jerome went in for Malone at right end for Saginaw. Davis, Wray, Griggs and Tallon advanced the ball to make the downs. Griggs failed by a small margin to carry the ball over. The quarter ended with the ball in Arthur Hill’s posses- sion a few' inches aw'ay from Saginaw’s goal line. Tallon scored a touchdown on the first play and tied the score by a drop kick for the extra point. Second Quarter Tallon kicked off to Carlisle on Saginaw’s 10 yard line, who carried it back to his 32 yard line. Smith made the first punt of the game when he kicked to Tallon who received it on Arthur Hill’s 34 yard line. Crego w'ent in for Phelps for Saginaw'. Tallon punted to Smith. Bothwell failed to gain.

Third Quarter Goldstein w'ent in for Griggs at start of third quarter. Smith kicked off to Wray on Arthur Hill’s 10 yard line. He returned it to the 33 yard line. Saginaw' penalized for offside gave Arthur Hill first down on the 45 yard line. All Arthur Hill backs gained, ball w'as on Saginaw’s 10 yard line when Arthur Hill was penalized 15 yards for holding. Arthur Hill’s attempted forward pass was blocked and fell into Schultz’ hands, Saginaw tackle. Saginaw' failed to gain and Smith punted to Wray who was thrown in his tracks. Arthur Hill forced to punt. Tallon, hurried by Saginaw’s line, punted straight in the air. The quarter ended with the ball in Saginaw’s possession on Arthur Hill’s 40 yard line. 124 AURORA— 1924 Fourth Quarter Bothwell passed to McPhilmy for a small gain. Smith tried a drop kick but it fell short by inches. Arthur Hill got ball on 20 yard line. Arthur Hill could not make yards so Goldstein punted to McPhilmy on 29 yard line. Saginaw started another march featuring Smith, Bothwell and McPhilmy. Arthur Hill was penalized. Saginaw received ball on Arthur Hill’s 38 yard line. Baur replaced Meade for Arthur Hill.

That’s just why Saginaw’s prancing baskctcers trounced St. Mary’s. Their formidable five were leading by one point, and it sure looked like their game, with only one minute to go, when Fredericks cashed in a nice basket, that won the game. Bv the way, our second team won some victory over Lapeer basket ball wrestlers 17-14. They put up such a scrappy fight in the last quarter that the referee had to give them two extra five minute sessions to settle the argument. These five minute overtime sessions seem to he quite a fad. Alma—11 Saginaw—14 Our peppy five thought they needed a little practice, so on the way to Jackson they stopped off at Alma. They certainly surprised that Alma quintet by spurting to victory, to a count of 14-13. Our team fought every minute of the game. They certainly deserved to win. Jackson -22 Saginaw—8 After their victory at Alma, the Saginaw fellows traveled on to Jackson. They were all in from the strenuous game they put up at Alma. This was probably the main reason why they were snowed under by Jackson. Jackson came out on the large end of the score 22-8, but they earned every point they made. Our men, although they knew they were playing a losing game, kept up the regular Saginaw High Spirit. They fought to the end and displayed real sportsmanship. Owosso 15 Saginaw—14 Oh, boy, our cheer leaders can put the pep in a game. That is just one of the reasons the Black and Gold basketeers put up such a fight against the Owosso five. Did we play a good game? I’ll say we did. We lost. Well, what of that. Didn’t we show the highest, most splendid type of school spirit? It’s true we lost the game, but we didn’t lose our school spirit nor did we forget our smile. And after all, the real test of a sportsman is a good loser. Arthur Hill—26 Saginaw 4 Old Man Luck was against us when we encountered the West Side quintet. He didn’t allow us a Single field goal, although he couldn’t stop us from scoring four points on fouls. We were also handicapped by the absence of our coach, but Old Saginaw High has no alibis and we took the defeat smilingly. Our second team defeated the Hill reserves 16-14. When the final whistle was about to blow, and the score tied, Mr. Carlisle stepped in and rang up two points, which won the game. All the boys displayed their fighting spirit and fought through to victory. Who said we didn’t have a scrappy bunch of scrubs? Lansing -19 Saginaw—15 It took them two overtime periods to beat us, not because we didn’t play a good game, but because Lansing’s long shots in the closing minutes of play nosed the Black and Gold out of victory. We were two points ahead of them with a half minute of the regular time to go, when one of those long shots found its way into the basket and tied the score, thus forcing us into overtime periods. 128 AURORA 1924 Our captain, Jimmy Bothwell, was the bright light of the game, scoring five field baskets and breaking up Lansing’s offence time after time. Everyone who wore the Black and Gold colors showed the Lansing lads what those colors represent. Bay City—17 Saginaw—8 Bay City had a better team and we're not afraid to admit it. We sure gave them a run for their money. The Saginaw lads led the first half 6-4, and for awhile had the do ‘n river quintet worried, but the Gold and Purple came back strong in the second half and came out on the long end of the score, 17-8. We can’t forget our second team. They swamped Chief Nevitt's five 9-5. Jerome was the bright light, making 6 of Saginaw's points, enough to win the game alone. Flint—16 Saginaw—26 Flint’s fate was sealed when they met the S. H. S. basketeers at the Junior High Gym. Flint was about the strongest team we had to face this year. Previous to their encounter with Saginaw, they had a very good record, but by a turn of the tables Saginaw led at the first half with a score of 13-11. Fredericks played his usual good game as did Stinson, a new man, both scoring five baskets each. By doubling their score in the second half, Saginaw brought their total to 26 points to their opponents’ 17. Bay City—24 Saginaw—8 Although they gave the best they had, under the basketball talent of Bay City, they did not win. Our second team, which has been putting up a peppy game all season was over-run by the Bay City lads. Even though Dame Fate plotted against them, our men showed the fight that is charac- teristic of them. That’s real Saginaw Spirit. Pontiac—12 Saginaw—17 We can’t lose all the games, so we decided to trim the Pontiac aggregation. Although Pontiac had been playing a real brand of basketball all season, they simply couldn’t get through our defense. This was one of the best passing games that Saginaw exhibited on the basketball court all season. Fredericks and Stinson stood out as the shining lights. Arthur Hill—23 Saginaw—15 They didn’t beat us quite as bad this time. Arthur Hill scored 23 points in the first half, but failed to make a basket in the last half. Saginaw kept circling them in, but could only total the count to 15. Our second team invincibles trimmed the West Side scrubs 15-5. This was a real snappy game from start to finish and proved their ability to play a good brand of basketball. Ann Arbor—30 Saginaw—19 Ann Arbor had a good team. The game was a fast one and Saginaw didn’t play as bad as the score indicates. They beat us because we simply couldn’t get going, that’s all. We lost many points when the ball would just circle the rim on the basket but was stubborn SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 129 and wouldn’t go in. All the boys gave all they had, and although we lost the game, we estab- lished ourselves as a team that never gave up, because we fought through to the final whistle. The score wasn’t so close this time. Our peppy little guard, Joey James, scored 8 of his team’s points and played a wonderful defensive game. We sure showed the Catholic quintet how to play real basketball. This game had a great influence on our representation at the tournament. We didn’t want to miss an opportunity to go so we decided to win this game, and we surely outplayed them in every department. In the first half both teams resorted to the defensive game, but in the second half the Black and Gold stepped out and grabbed a victory by the score 21-12. St. Mary’s—8 Saginaw—20 Owosso -12 Saginaw—21 CHESTER RANK, ’24. Bothwell, J., (Captain) Burger, C. Frederick, J. Kimball, D. McPhilitny, R. Rank, C. Schartow, A. Smith, P. Stinson, D. James, J. Jerome, J., Captain-Elect 130 AURORA—1924 The Tournament The tournament was held down in Mt. Pleasant as usual, starting on Thursday and lasting until Friday night. To Mt. Pleasant come all the basketball teams that wish to participate from far and near. As you arrive at the station, you find ushers who direct you to the basketball headquarters. Here everyone signs a card and is provided with sleeping accommodations in the residences of the people; you do not get your meals here but get them at any restaurant. The people treat you very well, giving you many privileges and they seem to enjoy having you as one of their guests. Well, our Saginaw bunch arrived about eleven o’clock and we were met by an usher who took us to the headquarters. We signed up for our rooms; this was a very interesting procedure, because we were all anxious to get one of the very best places. It happened that we were all pretty lucky in securing a favorable place to stay. The next move was to eat. After we had finished this, we went back to our rooms and rested up, and at two o’clock we started off to the big hall to see what team we would draw. The teams were numbered. Bay City drawing number one, while the Flint manager drew number two, which meant that Bay City and Flint would play first. Next our West Side friends drew number three, while Owosso drew number four, that matched them for their game to be played after the Bay City-Flint game. Then Mr. Chandler sneaked up and pulled number six matching us with Traverse City, to be played at ten o’clock that night. Well figure this next out for yourself, Bay City beat Flint, Arthur Hill defeated Owosso, then Bay City had to fight it out with Arthur Hill to see who would play the winner of the Sagi- naw-Traverse City game. Well it happened that Bay City defeated Arthur Hill and we defeated Traverse City, thus putting us in the finals with Bay City. Our game with Traverse City was a record breaker. Neither team was ever more than three points in the lead all the way through. It was the fastest game of basketball that the Saginaw quintet put up all year. But due to the eye of Stinson and Fredericks in shooting baskets and the expert guarding of Shartow and James, together with the excellent floor work of Captain Bothwell, we came out with victory. Everyone went home and enjoyed a good night’s rest, and we were all eager for the next encounter which was with Bay City the following night. This game wasn’t so favorable to us. We got beat, that’s right. You wouldn’t believe it though would you, but it’s straight goods. Those Bay City boys came prancing down the floor as if they were some big college team, and don’t forget the peppy little Saginaw aggre- gation came out the same way. Everybody down there was for Bay City, and our Support, well we didn’t have any that’s all. But didn’t we have those fellows worried, and the Chief too? He kept yelling on the side lines so loud that we had to call him down so we could hear the whistle. We gave them a good run for their money in the first half, but in the second half they came back strong, and managed to pull through with victory. Well we surely were disappointed but the best team wins and they took home the cup and the banner. Well, the next best thing to do was to start for Saginaw and this we did the next morning about eight o’clock. If we didn’t do anything else we established a good record as a good team and also a good reputation at the different houses we occupied, because they all expressed how wonderful we behaved ourselves and asked us to be sure to come to see them if we came back next year. This ended the basketball season for 1924. CHESTER RANK, ’24. 132 AURORA— 1924 Girls Basketball Jan. 4 Lapeer-14 S. H. S—39 The first game of the season! With all the girls on the team, except two, playing their first game, they rather surprised themselves and showed what they might be capable of jn the future. Out of four guards used by Mrs. Riese, Shirley Bradford and Iva Frost appeared to be the best. The centers, Dorothy Schade and Mary Ruth Wolf, played best together The two girls who had had former experience, Jeanette Tarr and Evelyn Ogborn, occupied the forward positions. Line up: Jeanette Tarr Evelyn Ogborn Dorothy Schade Mary Ruth Wolf Iva Frost Shirley Bradford. Subs. Elizabeth Kaufeld Evelyn Busch.... Billy Ward Irene Noey...... Ruth Richardson Forwards Guards I Gun Right Forward Left Forward Jumping Center Side Center Right Guard Left Guard Jan. 11 Alma —11 S. H. S.-67 Our first out-of-town game! The whole team played well together. Three subs, Richard- son. Kaufeld and Busch were used. They did so well that there was no noticeable slowing up of the game. The Alma people, both the audience and team, were wonderful sports. We were treated as if they had won the game by a large score. Jan. 18 Owosso 8 S. H. S.-60 It was a great game—for us anyway. Owosso had very few chances at the ball due to the very good playing of Mary Ruth Wolf and Dorothy Schade. The guards were hawks, watching the forwards when the ball did get down to them by accident. The forwards were slow in the beginning but finally woke up and found the basket. Jan. 23 A. H. H. S.—27 S. H. S.—16 We went visiting across the river and misplaced “Old Man Victory.” Our team had not had the experience of playing a strong team and to play a veteran team was decidedly diffi- cult. Our girls were strong enough to hold them three quarters of the game and then they couldn’t stand the gait set by our adversaries. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 133 Flint—16 Jan. 26 S. H. S.—17 It was a hard out-of-town game. Our opponents were small but fast. The one person who excelled was Miss Barday, one of the Flint forwards. But she was well watched by .Shir- lev Bradford. The foul shooting of Saginaw was the only thing that saved the day. We made seven to Flint’s one. Everyone on the team played her best game of the season. Jan. 30 Bay City—15 S. H. S. 18 One more victory toward the goal. Our visitors were fine sports and they played a fine game. We led in the scoring all along but in the last quarter Bay City had a spurt during which it seemed they would tie us. The spurt came too late in the game, however, to enable them to overcome our lead. Feb. 8 Flint—11 s- H- s 8 We aren’t so proud of this game as we might be. After winning on their floor because of the excellent playing of the whole team, we lacked pep and played off color during the entire game. From the sidelines the game was slow and uninteresting. Mrs. Riese started Billy Ward in Evelyn Ogborn’s place, moving her to side center. At the end of the first quarter Wolf went in at side and Ogborn went back to forward. But the first combination seemed to work the better of the two. Feb. 13 Bay City—13 S. H. S. 15 The only thing which saved us is that Bay City didn’t want to leave a larger score than the day of the month. Lucky for us! As an experiment with the team. Mrs. Riese started anew line up: Bradford and Tarr as forwards; Schade and Ogborn as centers; and Richard- son and Noey as guards. At the end of the quarter, with Bay City leading 4-0, the team was shifted to its old position and by the good work of all we brought home victory instead of defeat. Feb. 22 Traverse City—20 S. H. S.—31 Our rivals of a year’s standing journeyed a long way to see us. They were snow bound on the way here and must have been tired for the game. They put up a grand fight, though. Their team centered around their Captain, Mary Lawton, an exceptionally good forward. Feb. 27 A. H. H. S,—13 S. H. S.—17 “That was the best girl’s game.” There were several reasons for its being so. The Saginaw girls were out for scalps and nothing else would do. The crowd was peppy and showed fine sportsmanship. The yelling, due to good yell leaders, was the best yet. All these things combined to bring out the best in the teams. Noey, the best “sticker on the squad, and Tarr played their best games. The two centers from Arthur Hill and two of our guards were put out of the game for fouls. Referee Brown called lots of fouls, but who cares, if he was fair, and he couldn’t have been more so. A good game and everybody satisfied (at least on this side of the river). 134 AURORA— 1924 Mar. 7 Owosso—7 S. H. S. 38 Our last game! Kaufeld, as forward, and Richardson played throughout the game which enabled them to get their “S.” They both played a fine game. The rest of the team played as usual, only seeming reluctant to have the final whistle blow. SECOND TEAM St. Charles—15 S. H. S.—43 The only game scheduled for the second team was played at St. Charles. The line up was: Ward and Busch, forwards; Cartwright and Soltysiak, centers; and White and Eddy guards. Billy Ward was the star of the game. She is credited with seventeen field baskets, account- ing for 34 of the 43 points. The rest of the team played good basket ball and fed Billy the ball continually. The substitutions during the game were: Ingram for Busch; and Noey for Eddy. The success of the first team has been due to these girls who have worked as hard, if not harder, than any one on the squad. Hoorfiy for our second team! Another season gone quite successfully for S. H. S. even if A. H. II. S. did get State Championship. We’ll sec about that next year. With only four girls on the squad graduating we have high hopes for 1925. May I say that the success of this year has been due, first, to the coaching of Mrs. Riese, for which we thank her more than she can know; second, to the interest and hard efforts of the girls on the squad, for which they have been rewarded; and, third, to the wonderful support given us by the student body. I hope they realize how much it has meant to us and continue to give it to future teams. EVELYN OGBORN Wearers of the “S” Bradford, S. Frost, I. Kaufeld, E. Noey, 1.

Our old “reliables” took firsts again. Peters in the 20 and 220 yard dashes and Smith in the shot put and high jump. McCulloch took his old 440 and O’Donnell the mile race. Besides these men we have some other promising athletes who added points by taking 2nds. and 3rds. Under the skillful direction of Coach Beatty, we have the makings of a relay team that will be a contender for State Championships. Saginaw—46 Flint 22 What did you say we did ? Trimmed Flint 46-22. Again ? Sure. Some team! Just maybe we aren’t proud of them. Now I’ll tell it was like this. Our men realized that without Smith, they would have to fight hard in order to win. They determined to do so. Peters and Earley copped first and second in the 20 and 220 yard dashes. Crego had some day. He took the hop, step and jump, and fought a battle with Woodin of Flint in the high jump. This ended in a tie. He also placed second in the shot put. Although in the beginning it looked as tho McCulloch and Brown were going to lose their race, they spurted up towards the end and took first and second places away from the Flint men who thought they had the race cinched. O’Donnell took the mile again. He is coming along like a veteran, bettering his previous record by several seconds. Kalamazoo Interscholastic Saginaw was represented at the Kalamazoo Interscholastic by a team of seven men, who collected a total of 14 points. Ed”. Peters won the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes from a strong field of competitors in good time. Captain Laddie Baker placed second in the half mile, losing to 1 hurston of Kalamazoo by a small margin after a hard race in the fast time of 2 min., 5 1-5 seconds. Henson of Lansing gave Peters a real fight all of the way. Saginaw’s crack relay team was handicapped by the wet track, and failed to place, although the winners’ time was slow. Interclass Meets Placing in every event but the relay and winnipg three firsts enabled the Junior C lass to win the school championship by defeating the Seniors 42-38, while the Sophomores were at the end with only 24 points. 138 AURORA 1924 The Seniors were strong in the dashes and hurdles by taking firsts in all of them. Thcv had seven firsts out of twelve but lacked second and third places. The high point winners for the Seniors and for the meet were; Peters, who took the 100 and 220 yard dashes and McCulloch in the low and high hurdles, O'Donnell took the mile easily, as did Baker in the 440. Hcnnv, Kurtz, Weed and Brown were high scorers for Juniors while McLeod and Denton looked pretty for the Sophomores. Some good records were made in the dashes considering that these fellows are not ex- perienced and had little time to practice. The relay, run by the “veteran four,” Earley, Baker, McCulloch and Peters, was run in especially good time. Interscholastic at Ypsilanti At the interscholastic cross country race at Ypsilanti, Saginaw High School was repre- sented, for the first time in history. Our team composed of Captain Baker, Scottic McCulloch and Willard Welch carried our colors through a two and a half mile race. With the bang of the gun, 81 men representing the best schools in Michigan, dashed ahead. Captain Baker, the ninth man was the only one to win points for S. H. S., but his under- studies McCulloch and Welch were right on his heels. 1 his three man track team,” the first one in the history of the school, have established a record to be proud of, and their efforts should be an incentive for future teams. Saginaw-37 Flint-31 Saginaw's track team won their first victory of the season over the Flint athletes. Each of the events proved exciting, but it was plain to be seen that the Flint men were no match for the fleet Saginawians. The most thrilling and exciting event of the meet was the relay race. This proved to be the turning point of the race as the two schools had only one point between them. Saginaw took every first except the high jump, and Flint was able to remain in the running only by obtaining a majority of 2nds and 3rds. O’Donnell, Brown, McCulloch and Peters as a team won the relay. While Pa” Smith took the shot put, the hop, step and jump, and third in the high jump. Ed Peters ran as anchor man on the relay team, and absolutely walked away with the 20 and 220 yard dashes. “Scottic” McCulloch, our dashing Romeo, made the 440. Bill O Donnell, our midget I rackstcr, pleased the fair sex by romping away with the mile. Then to cap the fray “Skipper” Crcgo sailed the shot into 3rd place. Valley Meet Arthur Hill tasted bitter defeat when our crack relay team pulled the valley meet out of the fire in the final event of the afternoon. SAGINAW SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 139 Saginaw and Arthur Hill were the class of the field out of 6 entries. They fought for the lead through the entire day and came down to the relay with the west sidcrs leading by 2 points. Seldom has such a race been seen. Stinson, Saginaw’s leadoff man, drew a ]X)0r position and lost about 5 yards on the first leg. Welch, of Owosso added five more on Earlev, putting Owosso about ten yards in front when Capt. Baker took up the flight. For a time the positions remained the same, but the terrific pace began to tell on the Owosso man. who lost about 7 yards. Peters fairly flew from the mark about 3 yards behind Camp- bell, Owosso’s fastest man. In 50 yards they were even, and when the dust settled our dash man Peters” had broken the tape with a few yards to spare. Saginaw’s points were scored by Edward Peters, who won the 100 yard and 220 yard dashes as well as pulling the relay from the fire. He was the individual high scorer with x points. Captain Laddie Baker took the 880 yard dash in an impressive manner and aided greatly in winning the relay. “Skipper” Crcgo and “Chuck” Denton tied ftr first in the high jump while Weed, who previously took second in the high hurdles, tcok third. Dan Brown captured second in the broad jump and placed third in the 440 yard dash. Bill O’Donnell took third in the mile while Scottic” McCulloch and Floyd Earley placed third and fourth in the low hurdles. The relay team composed of Stinson, Earley, Baker, and Peters is the best team turned out by Saginaw in some years.

The five dollar bill is the most value, because when you place it in your pocket you double it, and when you take it out again you find it in creases.” Stop! “Well! What arc you stopping for?” asked the young man as the taxi came to a halt in the middle of the block. “I heard the lady say “stop,” said the taxi driver. “Well, she wasn’t talking to you, was .she?” Back Seat Wit “The time will come,” thundered the lecturer on women’s rights, “when women will get men’s wages.” “Yes,” said a little man in the back scat, “next Saturday night.” Tell The World!

No Difference! Riches have wings,” sententiously quoted the professor. Yes,” chuckled the cynic, “either wings or skirts.” A Sophomore saw something green Thought it was a Freshman class; When he closer to it drew He found it was a looking glass. A Freshman once to Hades went Because he could not learn; They sent him back to earth again, He was too green to burn. A classic essay, lately immortalized in type, is about frogs and was written by a young Norwegian. The essay runs: “What a wonderful bird the frog are! When he stand, he sit almost, when he hop, he fly almost. He ain’t got no sense hardly. He ain’t got no tail hardly either, when he sit he sit on what he ain’t got almost.” The following answers to examinations were received by the New York Times: “Poise” is the way a Dutchman says “boy.” “King Arthur’s Round Table” was written by the author of “Ten Knights In a Bar Room.” “Etiquette” is teaching us how to be polite without trying to remember how.

One evening on returning home very much bored with the day’s experiences, the boy remarked: “Mother, if you don’t stop taking me around with you so much, people will think you have married a dwarf.” “How long did it take your wife to learn to drive?” It will be ten years in August.” An Irishman and his wife were at an opera for the first time. The wife noticed the word “asbestos” on the curtain and said: “Faith, Pat, and what does ’asbestos’ mean?” “Be still, Mag, don’t show your ignorance. That is Latin for welcome.” Miss Kitchen—“What does this mean? Some one just called up and said that you were sick and could not come to school to-day.” Wm. Mertz—“Ha Ha! The joke’s on him.

What caused it?” remarked the house owner. “It’s a plain case of friction.” “What-ya-mean—friction ?” “The fire was undoubtedly caused by rubbing a $3,000 insurance policy on a $2,000 house.” Passenger: “What makes the train so slow?” Irate Conductor: “If you don’t like it, get off and walk.” Passenger: “I would, only I’m not expected until train time.” Rastus had taken Mandy to the Zoo. Mandy didn’t know much about animals and Rastus thought he knew it all. When they came to the Zebra, Rastus was baffled. He had never seen the one with stripes. “What am that?” Mandy asked.

He prayed loudly. “Don’t pray out loud, said Dick. “God isn’t deaf.” Willie:—“No, but Grandma is.” “How often docs your road kill a passenger?” asked the traveler. “Not more than once,” said the conductor. “It won’t be long, now,” remarked the professor, as the train ran over his toe. “I ought to get a kick out of this,” quoth the farmer, as he pricked the mule with a pitchfork. “You’re stuffing me,” claimed the mattress to the factory hand. “That’s the man I’m laying for,” said the hen, as she saw the farmer cross the road.
