It was at this time that the mid-year class of 1927 was forming in the grammar schools through- out the city. After having passed through three distinct stages—entering the old Central School as freshmen, passing into the new Junior High, and entering Saginaw High School as sophomores—we have reached the fourth and last stage, that stage which was our goal in the grammar school. In another short half year we, the members of the mid-year class of 1927, will be the first class in Saginaw to graduate in the middle of the year. Let us make a name for our class, and make the day that we graduate from Saginaw High School as big a graduation day as any held in June. MILTON DIAMOND.

The memorable history of the renowned Class of Twenty-six. When that we, as Freshmen, did number three hundred and sixty, little did we wist that, as Sophomores we would number two hundred and ninety-two, as Juniors two hundred and sixty, and finally as Seniors, one hundred and eighty-five,— the survival of the fittest,—this same being the last class e’er to enter Saginaw High School as Freshmen and twice to hear the sorrow of being the humblest class in the school. A. D. 1922-23 This year, the Class of ’26 did with due success begin its conquest in the realm of high learning amid the jests and taunts of its elders. Sept. 5 This day did we enter upon our duties as Freshmen. Nov. 14 This day the class elected its officers. The highest honor was given to Virginia Frueh. Second honors were bestowed upon Geraldine Medler. As our scribe we chose Dorothy Schade. To Curt Gottschalk was intrusted the class funds, at that time very small. Feb. 16 A merrie event took place in the Freshman Frolic which was enjoyed by not a few. May 4 On this day did one of us fitly represent his class in the annual declamation contest. June 12 The Gym Exhibition, in which many of our number took part, was a series of enjoyable feats including the famous dumb-bell exercises. June 21 Our Freshman year did here come to a happy close. A. D. 1923-24 Sept. 5 Our Sophomore year did here begin. Oct. 1 This day we did choose our class leaders for the coming year. Those chosen were, President, Burrows Morley; Vice-President, Annabelle Metz; Secretary, Marion Granville; Treasurer, Walter Crego. Feb. 29 This day the Sophomore Spread took place! ’Twas the social event of the season. Page twenty-six June 25 On this day we ended our Sophomore year, rejoicing in the conquest made thus far. A. D. 1924-25 Sept. 5 We, as Juniors, did this day choose with due wisdom our class officers as follows: President, James Freeman; Vice-President, Shirley Bradford; Secretary, Margaret Schroeder; Treasurer, Eleanor Heavenrich. April 14 Our first venture in drama, the Junior Play, took place on this day. ’Twas finely enacted. May 1 Ye Junior Party proved a joyous occasion although our jollity seemed of a sober sort in accordance with our Junior dignity. June 22 ’Twas Class Day when the Senior duties were bestowed upon our class. Ye Class Horn provided us with much mirth and laughter. A. D. 1925-26 Sept. 8 This day we did return to dear olde Saginaw High and as Seniors occupied ye famous Room 1. Nov. 18 On this day we chose the following to lead us through the most important year of our High School life; President, Frank Watters; Vice-President, Irene Beuthin; Sec- retary, Evelyn Busch; Treasurer, Quin Curtis; Student Council. Marion Granville, Theodore Will. Dec. 11 On this day our Class presented ye annual Senior Play. It was good to look upon and was attended by a great company. Dec. 18 The result of our vote on this day changed the form of the Student Lantern from a magazine to a newspaper. June Now our days teem with the many ceremonies preceding graduation. June 21 ’Tis Class Day. June 24 Graduation! All is o’er. For four happy years we have looked forward to this day. We are Alumni. June Kerns Stuart Walz Stuart Walz Page twenty-seven PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Classmates, Teachers, and Friends: Mr. Will, the Valedictorian, has been given the task of bidding farewell to Sag- inaw High School. Custom, however, has given me the pleasure of saying a few words. Four short years ago we came to this school from the grades, just as the rough, uncut diamond crystals are carried from the diamond fields of South Africa to the lapidary establishment, where they are cut and polished. ’ So we entered this great educational institution, rough, lusterless, with many sharp corners and jagged edges to be polished by the contact, experience and wisdom of our teachers. Into this school came this handful of rude, unpolished crystals. Even our most scintillating members possessed little of that dazzling brilliance and polish which distinguishes them today. Each year the stones took on more luster. The rough edges were being cut away and smoothly burnished sides took their places. Each new study expanded and broadened our mental horizon, as a new facet in the diamond increases its worth and brilliancy. So every fresh achievement in the mastery of an art or a science, in a language or a problem has added to our intellectual equipment until today the sharp- est corners and edges have been eliminated, and many accomplishments have added sparkle and brilliance to our personalities, and we are no longer a handful of rough stones. Tomorrow we separate and pass to other lapidary establishments—some to college to receive that intensive finishing which comes with college training, while others go to the larger field of life. But whether we acquire additional facets or not, those which our high school days and associations have given us, represent the most valu- able asset which we possess today. FRANK WATTERS.

Thomas VALEDICTORY ADDRESS Classmates, Teachers, and Friends: As you have bestowed upon me the honor of being your Valedictorian, I hope that the few words that I say shall prove of real value to you, inasmuch as you will remember them after the events of graduation have passed. The (Mass of 1926 is on the eve of its departure from Saginaw High School. During the early part of our High School days, we looked forward to this event with a feeling of glad- ness in our hearts. However, as our Senior days roine to a close � his feeling of joyful an- ticipation has changed to regret. Regret that we have not made the most of our numerous opportunities and regret that we nre leaving those friends and associations that were dear to us in our High School days. Some of us will continue our education; others will enter different branches of business; all of u« will make new acquaintances, but we will always remember the friendships of our High School days. We are now standing upon the brink of Life. Before us lies a broad and treacherous river, at the end of which lies the goal of all—SUCCESS. Previous to this time the river had been placid and calm, while we had been carried along by the current and aided to a great extent by our teachers. Now it is different. The current is strong and swift, but instead of aiding us, the tide has come in and the turbulent waters are rushing against us. It is necessary to work industriously or we shall be carried back. All have strength and endurance for the first few miles. Gradually the group becomes smaller, for shortly the steady pull becomes monotonous. There are numerous eddies and rocks that some strike. Others are sidetracked into the tribu- taries of the river. A great many grow tired and see no harm in resting on its banks. How- ever, when the time comes to start again they seem to have lost their ambition; so they stay and watch others pass them to the far distant Temple of Success. Those who rested are the failures of Life, but those who struggled and persevered have been rewarded many times for their endurance. We of the Class of 1926 are about to begin our struggle with the river of Life. If we journey onward, think continually of our goal, pass by the tributaries of the river by going straight down its course, we shall ultimately come to the Temple of Success. Members of the Faculty: We have been under your care for four years, while you strove to fill our desire for an education. Perhaps, at times, our attitude and the results were often discouraging, and you felt that we little profited by vour earnest endeavors. Permit me, as representative of the Class of 1926, to say that your labor has been fully appreciated and that our associations with you should prove a most valuable asset to us during our later life. We realize that these few words cannot repay you, but we hope that our lives may be worthy ex- amples of your teachings. It is with the most sincere gratitude in recognition of your worth and assistance to us that we bid you farewell. Under-graduates: Our parting word for you is one of encouragement. You still have one or more years at Saginaw High School, during which time you will have many difficulties to overcome. The best wishes of the Class of 1926 go out to you for your success. May your aims and desires be successfully filled and may you bring honor and glory to your school. Classmates: After four years of companionship, filled with boundless joy, we are about to go our individual ways, never again to function as a class. I hope that the friendships with one another will never change with time, and that the memories of our High School life shall always be a source of pleasure to you all. As Class Valedictorian, I bring to each and every one of you the best wishes and fond farewell of his fellow classmates; and, “May you in virtu? onward press, And may your motto be ‘Success ” THEODORE N.

STUDENT COUNCIL President ............................................................Theodore Will Vice-President .....................................................William Scharffe Secretary ..........................................................Eugenia Kowalski Student self-government in Saginaw High School is carried on by the Student Council which is composed of two grade representatives and one person from every student activity. This body meets every other Tuesday for the purpose of discussing and settling student problems that arise from time to time. When the question arose as to whether Saginaw High School should have a maga- zine or a newspaper the Council decided to lay the matter before the pupils and then conduct a referendum vote. The newspaper received the higher number of votes. Three hundred and ninety-five votes were cast for the newspaper and three hundred and thirty-eight for the magazine. In addition, the Student Council sponsored the Monitor System which has been in operation this year. It also made an extensive study of the Student Union, a plan whereby each student buys a Student Union ticket which admits him to all student activities, such as football and athletic contests, debates, plays, and music contests.

TENTH LEGION Legatus ....................Billy Brydges Scriba.....................Genevieve Kress Pro-l.egatus ................Betty Curtis Quaestor ........................Burrows Morley The Latin Club for Senior and Junior Latin pupils is called the “Tenth Legion,” and is one of the oldest clubs in existence in Saginaw High School. It meets twice in each school month and talks are given by the members on topics connected with the work of the department, for which the class hour does not offer sufficient time and opportunity; such as, the daily life of the ancient Greeks and Romans, their mode of dress, manners and customs, their religious beliefs and ceremonies, the splendid works of art which have been left by them, their temples and houses—in short, the Club attempts to cover much of the cultural side of Latin study. Models of the war engines used in Caesar’s time have been made by club members. A Latin exhibit was started a number of years ago to which the pupils of each suc- ceeding year have added much valuable material, including many charts showing the close connection between the language of old Rome and modern English, and the in- debtedness of the world of today to the times of Caesar and Cicero, in a variety of ways. The Club also plans to sponsor some extra curricular activity each year. This year George Klein’s wonderful picturization of Julius Caesar was shown to two large, interested audiences. Page forty'nine 1926 SOPHOMORE LATIN CLUB The Sophomore Latin Club was formed for the purpose of allowing Latin stu- dents to study Roman life and customs. It is composed of students who have an av- erage of C or above. One regular meeting is held every month. At these meetings the different classes give programs which they have prepared. Officers are elected at the beginning of each semester to supervise the work of the club. Officers were as follows: First Semester, First Consul—Max Hcavenrich, Second Consul—Horace Burgess, Scriba—Violet Fox, Praetor—Gerald Taylor.

EL CIRCULO ESPANOL Preside lit, Marion Hollenbach Vice-President, John Mulholiand iSecretary-Treasurer, Shirley Bradford The growing interest in Spanish and its importance in the business world has be- come evident at Saginaw High School. The formation of a Spanish Club for the furtherance of interest in Spanish has been the main outgrowth of this. This Club, whose membership is based on high scholarship, now has a total of forty members. At the meetings which are held Clearing Hour of every week, members discuss informally Spanish topics of current interest. There is a great wealth of material available for such work, and its value to the student cannot be over estimated. This year the Club also sponsored the third Annual Spanish “Prom” which was one of the most successful school parties of the year. Elaborate decorations were carried out in red and yellow—the Spanish national colors. These decorations, palms, and a Spanish fountain combined to make a picturesquely Spanish patio out of the dance floor. Many of the members of this year’s Club will be back next year, and the grad- uating Seniors extend to them their hearty good wishes and hopes for a still more successful club the coming year.

During the school year the Girl Reserves have sponsored the Big Sister move- ment, aided the Red Cross in their annual membership drive, entertained the girls of the school at a Kids’ Party, and conducted an Assembly Period. The Girl Reserves acted as hostesses at tea to their mothers upon one occasion and to the members of the faculty upon another.

It is composed of clean-cut fellows who strive to further the purpose of the club, which is: “To Create, Maintain, and Extend throughout the school and community high standards of Chris- tian character.” The club’s platform, that of the four C’s—Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Sports, Clean Living,—is the basis of all its activities. The Hi-Y is one of the peppiest clubs in the school. During the past year it has given two parties, which were great successes, carried on the annual “Hello Week,” and sold football badges. The club has taken charge of many pep meetings. Through- out the last semester members- of the club have been serving as traffic “cops.” Besides these services to the school, the club enjoys many get-togethers in the form of banquets and initiations. It is hoped that the club next year will maintain the high standards and many precedents set by the Hi-Y of ’25- 26. MEMBERS M. Baum, H. Burgess, B. Brydges, R. Carter, J. Cory, T. Cory, W. Crego, C.

The first semester of this year, however, was given over to amending the constitution so as to conform to the Anti-Fraternity Law. As amended, girls from the Tenth and Eleventh Grades, and Twelfth “B” Grade may apply for membership, providing they have an average mark of “C” in English. Their names are then sent to the advisory board which consists of Miss Brown, Miss Johnson, Miss McKinney, and Miss Driggs. These teachers pass on the applicants. The society’s membership is limited to forty girls. “The Thencean Thriller” was given at the Masonic Temple, April 16. As in preceding years the annual partv was a success in every way.

I TAPPA KEY Mr. Arnold Heflin, Instructor Ralph Carpenter, President James McFall, Secretary The Radio Club of Saginaw High School was organized in 1924, and is open to all members of the school who are interested in radio. The object of the club is to prepare members for the government examinations for radio operators’ licenses. So far five club members have become licensed radio operators. At the end of the first semester those members who have made sufficient progress are admitted to an honorary group known as “1 Tappa Key” and are entitled to wear a derby. As evidence of their ability along various lines, such as constructing transmitters, etc., certain sym- bols may be worn on the derby. The Club is chiefly interested in amateur radio, that is, the construction of appa- ratus which enables them to communicate with other amateurs in America and other parts of the world. So far our station, whose call is 8AOH, one of the most powerful high school stations in the state, has communicated with points as far distant as New York City, Denver, and Dallas, Texas, but we have heard stations in New Zealand, France, and other countries, and hope eventually to communicate with them.

Despite much opposition from those supporting the magazine, the wish of the majority prevailed, and the policy of a weekly newspaper was adopted. The success of the Student Lantern newspaper is shown by the fact that it won second place in the class “B” of weekly newspapers at the annual convention of the Michigan Inter-Press Association. Further evidence of its success is seen in its large circulation, for it sells to approximately seven-eighths of the Saginaw High School students. To end an unusually good year in the newspaper field, the Student Lantern Staff gave a very enjoyable school party which was attended by about two hundred stu- dents. The proceeds of the party will go to the Student Lantern Fund to be used next year in the improving of the newspaper. It is universally felt throughout the student body that a school newspaper is worth while and that the Student Lantern has been very successful. SruDiiNT Lantern n. S.

HOME ONE OF THE REGULARS CONGESTED TRAFFIC SWIPING A RIPE 7 Page fifty-eight Mrs. Myrtle Harrington Patterson MUSIC The musical department at Saginaw High School, under the capable direction of Mrs. Myrtle Harrington Patterson, is divided into seven organizations. The classes in inside music devote their time to musical appreciation, key rela- tionship. operas, and folk songs. These classes have proved of much value in the musical education of the students. The actual practice for the students comes in the other six organizations—the Orchestra, Hoys’ Glee Club, Amphion, Mixed Chorous, String Quartet, and Treble Clef. All of these organizations are familiar to the general public through their many appearances at the clubs and churches of the city. BOVS’ GLEE CLUB First Row—H. McIntyre. E. Frost, C. Fobcar, W.

Rage sixty TREBLE CLEF (IIRLS The Orchestra has always been a big factor in the musical department, and ap- pears at most of the school dramatic productions. The Hoys’ Glee Club and the Amphion, which together make up the Mixed Chorus, are the best known of all. They have always taken high honors at the contests, and are exceedingly well liked by the student body. The newest organization in the music department is the Treble Clef, composed of girls training for the Amphion. This division holds the record for membership, having a total of forty members. The String Quartet is a fairly new addition to the group of musical organiza- tions, but has proved to be ,one of the best. At the district contest this year it placed second, showing its fine training. AMPHION First Row—A. Dulski, L. Rogers. M. Pearce, M. Foale, F. Gray, R. Jerome, E. Kowalski. Second Roto—V. Fox, M.

Two musical concerts were given in Nineteen-Twenty-Six, on March fifth and twenty-seventh, at Central Junior High School. 'These concerts, which are annual affairs, are very enthusiastically received by the public, and have done much to bring out the importance of the music department in the school. Saginaw made an exceedingly creditable showing at the annual District Musical Contest held at Mt. Pleasant, May fourteenth, taking first place in the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Cluhs, and the Mixed Chorus; and second in the String Quartet. This gained for them the right to enter the state contest at Lansing. ORCHESTRA The Orchestra consists of eight first violins, nine second violins, two violas, one cello, six clarinets, four cornets, two double basses, one flute, one oboe, one sousaphonc, one baritone, two trombones, «me harp, and one set of drums, bells, and tympani. Page sixty'two Mr. V. O. McCreight Miss Blanche Kynast DRAMA This year the Public Speaking department under the direction of Mr. McCreight and Miss Kynast has placed especial emphasis upon dramatics and extemporaneous speaking. Early in the year several short plays were presented before various churches and clubs of the city. It was also decided to revive the custom of giving a Plorad Play. The play selected was “Merton of the Movies,” a difficult comedy with a cast of twenty-five people and several difficult sets. The cast, and the producing staff were all made up of Plorad members and gave this extremely difficult play a noteworthy presentation. “MERTON OF THE MOVIES” First Row—T. Lillington. C.

CLASS PLAYS Following a long established precedent the Junior and Senior classes this year each presented a play. The Juniors’ purpose was the swelling of the class treasury. They chose for their dramatic offering a farce comedy, “What Happened to Jones.” Judging from the reception the audience gave the play, it was successful indeed. The proceeds of the Senior play were given to a most worthy cause—the Scholar- ship Fund. The play chosen by the Seniors for presentation was “Captain Apple- jack”, a melodramatic comedy of pirates. The performance, given in the Auditorium, was especially well done in the clever handling of the lines, and the maintaining of suspense throughout. “CAPTAIN APPLEJACK’ First Row—B. Murley (Jason).

The policy followed in Debating this year was to give each member of the De- bating class at least one opportunity to meet the team from some other school,—the idea being that the pupil received more benefit from the interscholastic contest, al- though perhaps the strength of the team was less than if the best debaters had been selected each time. The result, whether due to this plan or to some other cause, was that Saginaw won only one of the four debates. DEBATE First Row—Violet Fox. Miss Kynast, Mary Burt. Irene Beuthin.

Page sixty' five Page sixty'Six Alumni Field Entrance ALUMNI FIELD The present Alumni Field House marks the growth of interest in athletics at Saginaw High School. Twenty-five years ago, athletics were opposed by the faculty and supported by only a small minority of students. These enthusiasts received no organized coaching, and had no uniform equipment or field of their own. In 1909, however, the Alumni Association made a field a certainty by raising sufficient funds and purchasing the present location of Alumni Field. The work was under the supervision of Melville Brooks. But the purchase of the ground was but a beginning toward organized athletics. A drainage system was adopted, the ground graded, a quarter mile running track constructed and the present brick enclosure built. The teams had already received a director in their sports, and uniforms had been furnished for some of the teams, but the players still lacked suitable dressing rooms. The Alumni Association again championed high school sports when, seeing the need for a fieldhouse, it built the structure that was used until two years ago. The. growing interest in athletics re- sulted in this field house becoming inadequate and finally too unhealthy for use. After two years of planning the Board of Education finally decided to construct the present field house and to finance many improvements on the field at a cost of more than forty thousand dollars. The new field house is shown in the pictures below. Front View of Fieldhouse Rear View of Fieldhouse Page sixty'eight H. Beatty R. Reeves F. Drier E. ('handler F. Fraker ATHLETICS Saginaw High School athletics have been managed very efficiently by its depart- ment heads. Mr. Drier, head of the gymnasium department at Saginaw, has been teaching body building longer than any other instructor in Michigan. His loyalty to Saginaw High has brought about much of the school spirit that has been mani- fested in the past years. Miss Reeves, director of girls’ athletics, has successfully introduced intra-mural athletics for the girls. Mr. Beatty, coach of the boys’ ath- letic teams, has produced players that place sportsmanship above the winning of a game. Messrs. Chandler and Fraker, faculty managers, cared for the financial end of athletics. 'Fhe Athletic Association of Saginaw High School has had an active season. The Board of Control, composed of both student and faculty representatives, has not only carried out its regular duties, but also been instrumental in bringing about many improvements for our school. Besides arranging successful seasons for the athletic teams, it has introduced intra-mural athletics for the girls and with the aid of the Student Council has prepared plans for the Student Union for the coming year.

FOOTBALL The Saginaw High School football team completed its season with three victories and six defeats. All hut one of the losses were closely contested battles. Our team was not as heavy as in former years hut it had a fast back-field. However, the rain- soaked fields prevented the backs from displaying their speed after the first three games. Coach Howard Beatty had an inexperienced team with hut five letter-men from the previous year’s squad. Although our boys were unable to score against the stronger teams of the state, the small number of first downs and the few yards gained against our players were an evidence of our good defense. Three Saginaw High gridsters secured honorable mention in all-state circles with Captain Crego, a star performer at center, being placed on the mythical all-state second team, losing the first team berth only because of insufficient playing due to injury. ALMA, LAPEER, AND ALPENA CONQUERED Playing on a dry field, Saginaw’s football squad gave evidence of being a real team when it won its first three games. The respective scores were 7-0, 19-0, 29-7. Saginaw displayed ability in skirting the ends and hitting the line. NORTHWESTERN WINS, 9-0 A touchdown and a place-kick proved to be the margin by which Saginaw lost a spirited game to Detroit Northwestern. Saginaw played a great game, holding their opponents whenever threatened, but they lacked the speed that the Colts possessed in carrying out their plays. Vesterfelt attempted two drop-kicks during the first quarter but without success. Page seventy BAY CITY OUTPLAYED, YET WINS, 3-0 Making more first downs and gaining more ground than their opponents. Saginaw lost an ill-fated game to Bay City Central. Our team started a drive late in the first quarter that ended just short of a touchdown on the four-yard line, due to a fumble. Bay City drop-kicked from the thirty yard line in the first quarter for the winning points. The ball stayed in midfield during the second half, neither side being able to advance the pigskin. FLINT OVERRUNS SAGINAW. 40-0 Brazil’s ability to evade tacklers forced the Beatty men to accept defeat at the hands of Flint. The scores, the result of four touchdowns on steady ground gaining and two long runs of forty-five and fifty-five yards each, were made without Crego and Korth, who were suffering injuries, in the line-up. TWO LONG RUNS WIN FOR LANSING, 13-0 Two long runs, one for sixty yards in the first few minutes of play and the other for fifty yards in the closing minutes of the game, enabled Lansing to defeat Saginaw High by the score of thirteen to nothing. The only other eventful moments were when Saginaw threatened to score by a drop-kick in the second quarter and a drive by our team in the third period that ended through a fumble on the thirty yard line. ANN ARBOR VICTORIOUS, 12-0 The Saginaw pigskin crew lost a bitterly contested battle to Ann Arbor High. Ann Arbor’s score in the second quarter started from two completed forward passes, climaxed by a drive for a touchdown. Saginaw’s attempt to score was stopped at the eighteen yard line in the first quarter. Ann Arbor scored her second touchdown in the last twenty-five seconds of play, through an intercepted pass. ONCE IN TEN YEARS The Black and Gold dropped the last game of the season to their biggest rival when they lost to Arthur Hill by a lone touchdown. Our opponents outplayed us during the first half, making their score in this period. Arthur Hill attempted a place-kick in the second quarter but it was blocked by Saginaw. The elusive ball bounded to our eighteen yard line where a Hillite player recovered it. This gave them first down within striking distance of our goal. The second half, however, proved Saginaw High to be superior, although we failed to score. Saginaw’s chance to tie failed when a forward pass to a player on our enemy’s goal line just failed to be completed in the closing minutes of the game. Page seventy-one First Row Anthony Luczyk, F..

BASKETBALL Saginaw started the season with a green team, having hut two letter-men in the line-up. During the first semester eight games were played with but one victory. The inexperienced players were becoming seasoned and different combinations were being tried until, at the opening of the second semester, a winning combination was established. I he teamwork and experience that was acquired became evident when Saginaw won six games and lost but five, two of the losses being one-point defeats, with the best teams in the stat being played. 1 wo of these victories were over schools that had defeated us earlier in the season. Captain Denton was undoubtedly one of the best centers in the state, not one of his opponents being able to outplay him. Tessman proved to be an excellent guard in keeping the opponents’ score down, and with Pendell and McNivcn. forwards, aided in increasing Saginaw’s points. Aubry. Luczyk, Boertman, and Zehnder played dependable floor games throughout the season and helped make our team feared by every high school in the state. The Saginaw basketeers. entering the regional tournament at Flint, succeeded in downing Bay City but failed to secure more points than Flint in the finals of the tournament. I he game with Ba City was a closely contested battle, the score being tied four times and the winning basket being made in the last minute of play, giving the victory to Saginaw at fifteen to thirteen. Saginaw played a better floor game than Mint in the finals but became over-anxious at basket-shooting and thus was forced to accept a thirteen to twenty-five defeat. I his game ended the basketball season of “Twenty-six” for S. H. S.

Under the coaching of Howard Beatty athletes were developed whose performances were considered among the best in the state. Saginaw participated in five indoor meets and the same number of outdoor meets. She was also represented by Hayes. Luczyk, Tessman, and Roemer in the cross- country run held at Ypsilanti. During the indoor season Saginaw lost two closely contested meets to Flint and defeated Arthur Hill by a 56 to 21 score. The annual inter-class track meet was won by the Juniors with Seniors taking second place and Sophomores third. Repre- sentatives were also sent to the State Meet at Ann Arbor. In the outdoor season Saginaw placed second to Flint in a triangular meet with Flint, Arthur Hill and Saginaw. Flint gained 67% points, Saginaw 28%, and Arthur Hill 26. Saginaw secured eight points in the state meet at Kalamazoo against 165 competitors. With the Saginaw Valley Meet and University of Mich- igan and Michigan State interscholastics held after this book had gone to press, we hope that the athletes have repeated their performances. Diamond and Lewandowski, Saginaw’s dashmen, made good time in their dis- tances, while the former placed in the broad jump in a state meet. Luczyk and Czada were Saginaw’s performers in the 440 yard dash, while Hayes, Roemer, and L. Howe represented Saginaw in the half mile. The mile run found Saginaw rep- resented by Tessman and Kyle Howe. The relay team, composed of Diamond, Denton, Luczyk and Lewandowski placed fifth in the Kalamazoo meet. A marked feature of the track season was the steady improvement of the team members. Page seventy'three M. Dubay, R. Gale. W. Shipman. Drier (Coach). M. Evon. G. Pvcha GYMNASIUM Saginaw High School, entering the gymnasium team meet held at Ypsilanti, se- cured third place' in competition with the leading schools of Michigan. Franz Drier’s coaching ability was evidenced when William Shipman ranked third as high point scorer of the meet. Horizontal and parallel bars, side horse, and matt-work (tum- bling) were the exercises performed. The basis for judging was approach and re- treat, form, difficulty of exercise, and smoothness in execution of the feats. The annual Gymnasium Exhibition of Saginaw High was held at the city Audi- torium, June 4th. All students taking gymnasium.participated. Rope climbing, hori- zontal and parallel bars, Indian club and setting-up exercises, standard jumping, buck and horse exercises, and dances performed by approximately four hundred boys and girls, showed that the physical education course offered at Saginaw High School is beneficial in developing students physically. This course has been offered at Saginaw High for twenty-one years, the first high school in Michigan to present a course in bodybuilding. In conjunction with the gymnasium work, a number of boys performed creditable work on the football and basketball reserve teams of our school. Those receiving “R” awards for their services on the football team are M. Baum, H. Beck, R. Boert- man. R. Boyse, R. Carr, C. G ry, J. Cory, A. Czada, J. Francis, M. Griggs, K. Howe, W. Merrill, F.

Under the old system of inter-scholastic athletics very few girls could participate in the various sports. Now, under the new plan of intra- mural athletics, it is possible to include a large number of girls because each class has several teams. Thus the various classes compete with each other. Although the varsity girls have had to give up out of town games they have retained their enthusiasm for athletics. The system of awarding “S’s” under the intra-mural athletics plan includes class teams in all sports, hiking, life-saving corps, skating and similar activities. When a girl turns out for a sport she is given fifty points toward a school letter. If she makes the team fifty additional points are given her. Besides these she has the opportunity of making other points in the extra activities which are included in the system. Sixty per cent of the possible points gives a girl her numeral, and seventy per cent her “S”. Eighteen Senior girls have been awarded their “S” and the same number of under-class girls have received their numerals. The following sports were included in the schedule this year: field hockey, bas- ketball, volley ball, baseball, track and tennis. The Sophomores won the hockey championship; Seniors the basketball championship; Juniors the volley ball and base- ball championships. Page seventy'fiv: HOCKEY TEAMS SENIOR TEAM First Row—D.

The second year of tennis at Saginaw High has been successfully completed. The boys’ team had hut one veteran back from last year’s squad but good tennis players filled the vacancies. Captain Morley, of last year’s team, was Saginaw’s number one man and did very creditable work. Brydges proved to be a valuable asset to the team and with Burgess, Walz, and Will, aided the team to establish a good record. The five above mentioned players will be lost through graduation but next year’s prospects for tennis arc bright with Hathaway and Pendell, who are ex- cellent players, and Taylor, Ruh, and Jennings who have gained the required ex- perience this season, all of whom can ably uphold the honor of Saginaw High. The girls’ veteran team, composed of Mary Ruth Wolf, Shirley Bradford, and Frances Perrin, has proved to be an invincible combination. All these girls are Seniors but, under the system of intra-mural athletics for girls, a large number of enthusiasts have been developing into players who will fill their positions satisfactorily.
