Due to this movement mid-year classes will continue to graduate from Saginaw High School for approximately six years. This is the second mid-year class that will graduate from Saginaw High, finish- ing in February 1928.

Pune Twenty-four AURORA 19 2 7 President’s Address s—T has been said that the age of discovery is ended—that the age of ad- venture is past—that it is no longer possible to enjoy the thrills of the explorer—that life henceforth must consist of the tame humdrum things already discovered. And yet, I wonder if Cortez as he sat out to conquer Mexico, or LaSalle, as he viewed.the tractless woodlands which later formed our State of Michigan, ever felt more of a thrill than comes to each person as he sets out to find the great undiscovered country called life. Every discoverer and explorer must have a period in which his prepara- tions are made. Just as Columbus prepared for his great voyage by fitting out three caravels, the Pinta, Nina, and Santa Maria, before leaving the little port of Palos, so we in the last three years have been preparing ourselves for our journey to that unexplored region,—life. It was through the efforts of Queen Isabella of Spain that Columbus was able to equip his caravels for the long voyage he had so hoped to make. Like Columbus, we have fitted out three caravels with the untiring aid of the Faculty, which we hope will carry us far. One of these caravels is laden with the Friendships and Associations that we have made with our fellow classmates. Our contacts on the athletic fields, in the class-rooms, and in the different activites are valuable equipment for this journey. The second caravel is laden with Knowledge which we have acquired. This knowledge will enable us to compete with the different problems that will confront us on our way to success. It is the ship from which we draw our provisions for the long voyage. The third and most important caravel, the flag ship of the little fleet contains the most precious load of all—Character. Upon this caravel the other ships depend for guidance and direction. It is as necessary to us as the flag ship, Pinta, was to Columbus in making his voyage of discovery. Throughout the past three years, with the aid of our teachers, we have been adding Friendships, Knowledge, and Character to our cargoes. The fact that we are members of the Senior Class is guaranty that the Faculty consider us equipped for this voyage. For this reason we are now setting out to make our discoveries in life and, with these three caravels, we cannot founder in the sea on which we are embarking. So it is with full confidence that I say to you, my fellow class-mates, “Bon Voyage . JOHN C. MULHOLLAXD.

Nevertheless we soon showed we could learn quickly. From an army of three hundred and forty-one we elected the following officers to guide us through the year. President...........................Jack Francis Vice-President.......................Tom Preston Secretary........................William Simpson Treasurer..........................Norma Osborne Student Council.............. Katherine Sommers (Louis Butenschoen March twenty-fourth claimed the attention of every Sophomore, for it was then we had the “Zenith'’ of our social events, known as the “Sophomore Spread’’. Many of us were glad when spring vacation rolled around, but Old Father Time moved so quickly that we were ,80011 back in school with only two months before the end of June. In June some of us participated in the annual Gym Exhibition for the first time, and then is was not long before the ending of our Sophomore year. 1925-1926 Our army of three hundred and forty-one had dwindled to one hundred and eighty when we came back for the second time on September ninth. At our first class meeting we again voted for those who, we thought, were capable of leading us through our second year. They were elected as follows: President Vice-President Secretary....... Treasurer...... Student Council John C. Mulholland .....Vincent Nasl Louis Butenschoen Mary Etter J Beatrice Schrock ..(Merle Baum We chose for our first dramatic offering to Saginaw High School a farce comedy, “What Happened to Jones”. Judging from the reception the audience gave our play, we scored a big hit both financially and dramatically. Again spring vacation rolled around and we were released from the ties of our studies and the gloom of the class rooms. Nevertheless we were just as glad to get back as we were to be dismissed. Page T icnity-sir ______________________________AURORA__________________________ 19 2 7 The Gym Exhibition gave another chance for the Juniors to excel and again we did not disappoint the audience. On Class Day for the Seniors we were given the ‘'Horn which has been handed down every year for over thirty years to the following class. Due to trouble arising over the “Horn” this year, this fine old custom was ended, which we and alumni of the school deeply regret. June twenty-sixth soon came and we left our school for the second time to enjoy the freedom of two months vacation. 1926-1927 On September seventh, we came back for the third and last time to dear Old Saginaw High with only one hundred and forty-one left in our ranks. Having grown a little older and we hope, a little wiser we resumed our studies in the building that will long be remembered in after years. At our first class meeting we elected those few students to the offices of our class, who, we knew, would make our third and last year the most suc- cessful of our High School career. They were honored as follows: President...................John C. Mulholland Vice-President Betty Curtis Secretary...................Rosemary Cornwell Treasurer.................................Vaclav Vanek Rosemary Cornwell Student Union Council -J?ck f ' ancis Hazel hrost William Witheridge ‘‘A Full House was staged this year as the Senior Play. The very capable cast certainly held the audience and attained a real success. On February fourth, the first musical comedy ever attempted in Saginaw was presented by our High School. We held the honor of having all the lead- ing characters chosen from the Senior Class. The comedy was entitled “Leave It To Jane”, and was played before a very appreciative audience at the City Auditorium. The Senior Party held the interest of many, but most of them were mid- year students who were graduating in February. Due to the eighty minute periods and many added outside activities not many Seniors were able to take part in the Gym Ex., but the few who did surely helped to make it a success. Many changes have been wrought in S. H. S. during our stay here, but the most important of all is the Student Union Plan which our class helped to make a success. It is June sixteenth.

As the Roman gladiators about to engage in battle in the arena saluted tbe multitude with the cry “Morituri Salutamus—We, about to die, salute you”!—So, We, tbe Class of '27, about to enter tbe struggle of life—cry—“We, about to die, salute you”! It is the inescapable destiny of all earthly things that there comes a time when they disintegrate; when the elements which compose a sturdy oak fall apart and return to the soil to enchance its fertility.—So it is with the Seniors, who have thus far been one. We are about to separate into individual ele- ments, each to help support society. We are now facing this process of disintegration. For three years we have been a body, a group, a force in the life of the school. Henceforth we will he individuals. Previous to this time we' have done nothing to support society—she has been our supporter and has helped and cared for this group of which we are members. Now, this growth is about to return to tbe soil from whence it sprang. We are about to become individual elements of that society which nourished us. Whether we are to be a benefit or a hindrance to that society depends chiefly upon whether we have grasped our opportun- ities, whether we have profited by the associations which we have had with our teachers and with each other during our High School career. This Senior Class is about to pass thru the door which divides the present from the past. When we turn our backs upon our school this year, it will be for the last time as students. We shall have added another chapter to the record of this school of ours. We shall follow in the footsteps of our prede- cessors. Never again will the halls echo the sdund of our voices, or the ring of our laughter. When the pupils reassemble next fall, there will be no call for us to return. Other students will gather at the doors and loiter in merry groups. Other faces will appear in the old familiar class-rooms. Our count- enances will have vanished from the football field, from the basketball floor, from the track. No more will our voices ring out in the glee clubs. Others will take our places in the plays and other activities which we have enjoyed. The school will continue as before, but we shall be far away. Saginaw High School will know us as students no longer. We shall belong to history. We shall become a part of tbe record of achievement which constitutes the glorious chronicle of Saginaw High. But no matter where life may lead us, no matter in what diverse paths our footsteps may tread—there will always be with us a spark of love for our school, which the slightest breath of remembrance will rekindle into glowing embers. And so, as we step from the present to the future—we cry like the glad- iators of old,—“Morituri Salutamus”—“We, about to die, salute you”. ROSEMARY CORNWELL. Page Thirty-eight AURORA 19 2 7 'HOSE PUPILS who graduated last February were the first to conclude their studies in the middle of a school year. They also had the distinc- tion of being the first Sophomore Class to enter Saginaw High School from the Central Junior High. Many members of this class distinguished themselves by both their scholastic and athletic achievements, while several of their number took part in our various plays and were acclaimed as gifted per- formers. Although these thirty-eight are really our predecessors, we consider them classmates. We shall go through life, as will they, always attempting to reach that ever apparent but far distant and often times unattainable goal, “Success’’. We shall be co-workers and will strive to keep up our friendship as we have in the past. They have been graduated with honor and are now Alumni of S. II. S. We, too, shall follow in their footsteps. We, therefore, extend our best wishes to them—our classmates of '27. Milton Diamond—“Dusty . Hi-Y, Plorad Club, I Tappa Key. Track S , Football “S , (’apt. of Basketball Reserves, Capt.

Three years have since passed. During this time we have advanced through three different stages—first as Sophomores, then as Juniors and finally as Seniors. During these three stages of High School life our path has not been as smooth as it might have been. Like most new things we were not accepted at once, but gradually we were organized as a part of S. H. S. and became known as the mid-year class. We, members of the graduating class, appreciate all that you, members of the Faculty, have done for us. You have guided us faithfully through the mist of ignorance which obscured f ur path. You have criticised us kindly, doing it only to improve our thoughts and actions, and to prepare us better to fight the battle of life. In expressing our gratitude, we must not forget our parents, whose fond desire to see their sons and daughters graduate,-is at last gratified, and who, in some cases, have made sacrifices to give them the advantage of an educa- tion that they themselves never had. Fellow students of the lower class, who have yet to experience the joys and sorrows of graduation, we urge you. as we have been urged, to keep and hold your standard high and never to lower it below that of this class or any preceeding class. We have enjoyed your companionship, and words cannot express the regret we feel in leaving this old school and you. And now we bid you farewell with courage in our hearts, with eyes fixed firmly on life's tasks, and with minds solemnly determined on obtaining that one end—Success. MILTOX DIAMOND. Forty-t ico AURORA 19 2 7 Midyear Class of 1927 History s—February, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, the Class of '27. Section v£?0j I, entered Saginaw Iligli School one hundred and twenty-three strong. It was the first class to enter Saginaw High School as Sophomores in the mid-year. After we had stood the trials and tribulation of Sophomores for a few months the annual election of officers was held with the following results:— President.....................................John Sommers Vice-President...............................Helen Butzin Secretary...................................Horace Burgess Treasurer..................................Charles Lamb Because of the fact that we were a half-year class we were not allowed the pleasure of a Sophomore Spread. When school reopened in June we were still Sophomores but we had the distinction of being known as “X-A”. After the mid-year exams had been successfully (or unsuccessfully) weathered we became Juniors. A class meeting was held soon after and the following officers were chosen:— President...........................Robert Hesse Vice-President......................Irma St. John Secretary.........................Wilda Simonton Treasurer ..........................Lucille Marx By this time our class enrollment had decreased to 84. Again the year passed without any particular social functions for the Class of '27, Section I. Two years have flown by and we enter upon the crowning period of our lives in Saginaw High School. We at last have attained the rank of Seniors. In the last year a great many more have dropped from our number leaving our graduating class a total of only thirty-nine. With great consideration the following people were elected as Senior officers:— President.........................Milton Diamond Vice-President...............................Alice O’Brien Secretary.............................Helen Butzin Treasurer...........................Chester Haeger XII-A Student Union Representative Irma St.John Because of the size of our class an Aurora was deemed unadvisable but the Student Lantern has agreed to put out a Senior issue. This will, in a large respect, take the place of the traditional Aurora. Now our High School days are drawing to a close. In just two more weeks we shall part, ending all our school days. Turning our backs forever on the period spent in dear old Saginaw High School, the happiest part of our life, we face the future selecting our various occupations. Page Forty-three ________________________________AURORA__________________________ 19 2 7 Midyear Class of 1927 Valedictory Fellow Students and Friends:— Today, We of the First Section of the Class of '27, have assembled here for the last time to bid goodby to our High School days. We are about to step out into the World and show what we are able to do. We are about to start a new life, one in which we shall either achieve a complete success or obtain only a partial one. After all, what is life? My conception of life is that all life is just one tight-rope walk after an- other. To walk these ropes we must have a balancing rod and the thing which makes up this balancing rod is Education. Our education was begun about twelve years ago. Then we gathered our first information which went into our balancing rod. Here the ropes were many and close together, so that if we slipped from one, we jumped to the next and again went on. In this manner, as we advanced through the grades, we kept walking the ropes which gradually grew fewer and farther between. Then we entered Saginaw High. By this time we were getting a pretty large balancing rod and we were able to walk the tight-ropes fairly well. Now we had learned that we needed all the information we could get out of this school. So we worked hard and we became skilled in the use of the balancing rod, though the ropes grew fewer. Of course we had our share of pleasures, and we formed many friendships which will not soon be forgotten. In the end we have achieved success. All through this period of our High School days we have been guided by our teachers. Time and again we have been saved from falling off the ropes by their timely aid. And we appreciate this aid. Where we would be now without it. we will not venture to guess. I have already stated that we have achieved success. By this I mean that we have succeeded in reaching the rope which leads us to our destiny. Now but one rope remains. This rope has many strands, but the Temple of Success, which we all intend to reach, is straight ahead. Fron now on, if we slip, no timely aid can be received from our teachers. It is a long, perilous walk, and only those with the best balancing rods can ever hope to reach the Temple. Some of you still have one or two years to go through this I ligh School which fits you to walk the last stretch of rope. Don’t start on this last stretch until you have sufficient skill with your balancing rod to make the walk successful and don't think that you can keep your balance without an adequate supply of knowledge. Talk it over with your teachers before you jump at conclusions which you may afterwards regret. Don’t start until you can see your way through the future safely. Don't let some smooth-tongued man induce you to give up your education. The teachers will all tell you this. Remember, your education is your balancing rod which keeps you on the tight-rope leading to Success. Some of us will enter at once into life's work, but still others of us will seek a higher education. These same things apply to both with equal force. And our Class now wishes it to he known that we thank our teachers from the very bottom of our hearts. In conclusion, as Class Valedictorian, I bring to each of you a fond and hopeful farewell. C.

The membership of the Council is composed of representatives from each home room who are elected by the pupils of their room. This body mi'ets regularly every other Monday and brings up topics of vital importance to the students. This year has been the first time in the history of the High School that a Union plan has been tried. Through the purchase of a Union ticket a student is admitted to all home athletic games, the oratorical contest, debates, plays, concerts and gym exhibition. This ticket also includes class dues. The Finance Commission is composed of the three officers of the Union, the class representatives and the Faculty advisers. This Commission has charge of all finances of the school. Each activity is allowed a certain amount of money to carry on its work during the year. Members H. Armstrong, G. Botsford, M. Bernicker, E. Clark, R. Cornwell, 11. Frost, C. Hahn, E. Hamilton, L.

It is an honoring society recognizing excellence in some line of speech or dramatic work. Plorad has always been exceedingly active in school affairs. Previous to the adoption of the Student Union plan, it financed Oratory. Declamation and Debate. Now that these activities are supported by the Student Union, it has widened its field of activities. In recognition of her invaluable assistance in making the production of ‘‘Leave It To Jane” a success, Mrs. Patterson was sent, by the club, to the National High School Orchestra in Dallas, Texas. Trophies for Oratory and Declamation, on which the names of the winners will be engraved each year, were presented to the school while medals were awarded to the successful contestants. The Plorad also contributed to � he “Aurora Fund . In addition to these substantial contributions to the life of the school the Plorad produced, under the direction of Mr. McCreight, two one-act plays, “A Marriage Proposal” by Tahekoff and “The Silent System”, a translation from the French. Also the New York musical comedy success, Leave It To Jane , was produced with the cooperation of the Glee Clubs and the Orchestra. Members Ralph Anklam, Hazen Armstrong, Merle Baum.

Some of the questions which have been consid- ered are, the Foreign Attitude Toward the United States, Causes and Rem- edies of Crime, and the Importance of the Family As An Institution.

The success of the Student Lantern Newspaper last year was shown by its taking second place in class B of weekly newspapers. This year the newspaper won first place in class “B and was awarded a beautiful silver loving cup which is to remain in the possession of the school for one year. This award was given at the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association Convention at Ann Arbor. The Student Lantern has met with a difficulty this year. Their only proceeds come from advertising, since the circulation of the paper is taken care of by the Student Union ticket. In this way the Lantern has proven to be the medium between the student body and the Union Council.

P. IIkklin The third year of the Saginaw High Radio Club has been marked bv many interesting innovations. From the standpoint of the members this lias been the most successful year of the club, as six of their number have receiv- ed government licenses permitting them to operate amateur radio stations. If this were all that had been accomplished the time would have been well spent: but in addition the club organized itself as one of the extra-curricular activities of the school, and has given programs every Tuesday at Clearing Hour. Many talks have been given by various members and interesting demonstrations of radio apparatus have been made. However, the most out- standing feature of the programs has been the 'moving pictures. A large number of these have been shown, including practically every radio film which is available, and also many films on allied subjects such as telegraphy, tele- phony, electricity and the lives of famous inventors. The growing interest of girls is worthy of mention as they now make up more than one-third of the total membership. It is expected that the Radio Club will be even larger next year.

Page Sijrty-tico AURORA 19 2 7 Roland Webb Joseph Soltysiak General Superintendent of Monday Section General Superintendent of Friday Section Mechanic Arts Club The Mechanic Arts Club was organized by Mr. Radford, instructor of Mechanical. Machine, and Architectural drawing at Saginaw High School to provide an opportunity for all the boys industrially inclined to become more familiar with present industrial conditions in the world. The real purpose of this club is to discover and direct the interest of individual students who are mechanically inclined. At the first announcement of the forming of such a club, S0 boys signed up, about 40 tenth grade students and 10 eleventh and twelfth grade students. It immediately brought out the fact that boys are tremenduously interested in the mechanical world. No credit is given. It is purely a matter of voluntary interest on the part of the students. The club meets twice a month. It was clearly feasible to divide the club into two sec- tions. Any club to be a success must be managed or operated by the students under the direction of the instructor. With 40 boys in each section of the club it was evident, in order to check attendance and properly run the club, there must be an organization. As a result each section was organized on a purely industrial basis which serves to teach the principles of factory management or control. The following officers were appointed by Mr. Radford to hold office for one semester,—Superintendent, Foreman, Assistant Foreman, and Workmen. All were urged as to the necessity of cooperation for the success of the club. It was decided to manufacture “Combination Scrap and Mechan- ical Drawing Notebooks as a product. A line spirit of competition developed between the foreman and men of different departments. As a result some very line notebooks are being produced. It was next deemed wise by the instructor to secure the services of men from industry to come occasionally to speak on industrial topics or their own particular line of work. The students are urged to take notes on these lec- tures and place a brief printed or type written article in their notebooks under the heading of “Related Theory or other headings. Pntjv Sixtji-thra AURORA 19 2 7 Latin Clubs This is the first year that all students taking Latin have had the opportunity of being members of either of the two Latin Clubs, 'flic “Tenth Legion” is composed of Senior and Junior Latin pupils and the “Sophomore Latin Club” is made up of Sophomore Latin students. The purpose of these clubs is to supplement the regular class work and to present the cultural side of life in ancient Greece and Italy. It is of interest to a pupil who reads Caesar’s account of his wars in Gaul to know how his soldiers were housed, fed, paid and equipped and to learn what manner of life they lived, both as ordinary citizens and as soldiers. It also makes Cicero’s orations more easily understood if one knows how his listeners lived, spent their days and nights, what their homes were like and how they dressed, etc. A Vergil student learns to appreciate the best in poetry and art. This year a moving picture, “The Last Days or Pompeii”, was shown before two large audiences at the Central Junior High School Auditorium. A Latin exhibit was started a few years ago and valuable material is added each year. French Club This is the first year in the History of Saginaw High that the French students have organized a Club. Each class has its own officers and is organized into a club. These clubs are very informal as they have no constitution or by-laws but are instrumental in bringing up French social problems. One day a month each class has its entertainment in which French plays are given which have proven very successful. The lives of writers and historians have been taken up and discussed so as to gain knowledge of the background on which French literature is based. The clubs adviser is Miss Majel Brooks, the instructor in French. Pat c Sixty-four AURORA 19 2 7 Spanish Club t’nder the direction of Miss Neumann the members of all the Spanish classes united this year and formed one large Spanish Club. The club has held a meeting one class period each month. Due to the fact that each division of the organization holds its own meetings and has its own officers, officers have also been chosen for the entire club. The purpose of the organization is to increase the students’ interest in and know- ledge of the Spanish countries. At meetings interesting topics on various phases of Spanish life have been discussed by the members. Reports have been given on famous Spaniards and on their customs and sports. In addition to these regular club activities, on May sixth, the fifth hour class entertained the Faculty at a delightful reception. The work conducted by the club is very profitable as well as enjoyable to the Spanish students. German Club This year marks the return of German as a subject in Saginaw High. Two begin- ning classes, both taught by Miss Helene Neumann, have been organized. In addition to the regular study of the language one period a month is reserved for a social hour, when the classes become the German Club. The club was organized to increase inter- est in the life of the Germans, and to bring about a better understanding of their political and social problems. Each of the two classes holds its own meetings and has its own officers. The students have furnished the programs, each member being re- quired to give at least one talk during the year. The German cities, schools, govern- ments and customs have been discussed. Interesting biographies of famous Germans have also been given. The German students are very much interested in the club and have found the meetings very beneficial.

The Boys’ Glee Club and the Amphion, which together make up the Mixed Chorus, are the most successful of the organizations. Under the direction of Mrs. Patterson they are constant competitors in the State musical contests. The Treble Clef, which prepares girls for the Amphion, is enthusiastically supported by the Sophomores. The club presented two pleasing numbers at the annual concert. The newest addition to the department is the Brass Ensemble, in which the Band players are very much interested. This organization, because of its exceedingly fine work, entered the district contest this year. TREBLE CLEF AND AMPHION Page Sixty-nine AURORA 19 2 7 Miss Genevieve Goodman Mr. V. O.

Saginaw High's representatives won in the sub-district contest, and in the district contest Rosemary placed third while Roman took second honors. Both are to be commended on their fine work. MUSICAL COMEDY l ago Seventy AURORA 19 2 7 SENIOR PLAY Class Plays In carrying on a long established custom the Junior and Senior classes again presented their annual plays. For the past two years these plays have been presented at the Central Junior High School. The Juniors chose for their presentation “Seven Keys to Baldpate”. 1 he play was very well handled by the Juniors who have had little training in dramatics. 1 he Seniors chose the farce comedy, “A Full House . By the reception given its presentation it was evident that the actors showed very little amateur characteristics and held the interest of the audience throughout.

Short plays have been given before the various churches and clubs in the city. This year for the Plorad production, “Leave It to Jane , the New York Musical Comedy success, was chosen. The cast was selected from Plorad members and the musical organizations. Due to the great success of the play it is evident that musical comedy will replace our Plorad Plays.

It occupies two entire blocks and has its main entrance on the corner of Sheridan and Phelon Streets. It is a very important part of the School’s equipment. The held, which is under the control of the Board of Education, receives the best of care. The Board employs a care-taker who devotes all of his time to keeping the held and equipment in good condition. In addition to repairing the football held and running track, new tennis courts have been built. Last year marked the completion of the new forty-thousand dollar held house, which was made necessary by the inadequacy of the former quarters and the growing interest in athletics. The building is modern and complete in every detail. In one wing the structure provides lockers and showers for one-hundred boys, and in the other it accommodates seventy-five girls, while the office and general assembly room are situated between. The care-taker’s apartment is located above. Provision visiting teams. Permanent stands havi Front View of Field house is also made for the accommodation of not been erected because, in accordance with the policy of the department, it is desired to make the held of the ut- most value to the students. While the size of the field does not permit the stands, temporary bleachers have been set up to accommodate .the spectators for the various athletic events. During the past school year the field has been used more than ever before. The enclosure was flooded and skating was enjoyed by many of the students during the season. A large number of candidates turned out for spring football, baseball and track, showing an increased interest in athletics. Page Sncnty-four AURORA 19 2 7 H. Beatty F. Dreier M. Walker F. Fraker Athletics Saginaw High School athletics is efficiently managed by its department heads. Mr. Dreier. head of the gymnasium department, is the oldest instruct- or of gym work in Michigan. His loyalty, school spirit and pleasing disposi- tion have made him one of the most popular of Saginaw High instructors. Miss Walker, instructor of girl’s athletics, has capably taught intra-mural athletics for girls. Mr. Beatty, coach of boys’ athletic teams, has produced from a stock of green players boys who will be able to bring the State cham- pionship back to S. H. S. again. Coach Beatty's boys place sportsmanship above the winning of a game. Mr. Fraker, Faculty manager, has worked hard to put athletics upon a successful financial basis. This year the Finance Commission has taken the place of the Board of Control, which is composed of both student and Faculty representatives. This commission is a branch of the Student Union Council and has created a systematic budget besides carrying out its other duties. It has also been instrumental in bringing about many improvements to the school. Rear View of Fieldhouse Page Serent g-fi re AURORA 19 2 7 M. Baum V. Merrill W. Kummcll H. Beatty W. Kocpke H.

Hajjer Football Saginaw High School has again completed the football season with three victories, four defeats and one game tied. The team this year was composed of all green material. Only one letter man was hack, Romaine Boughner. All the men were inexperienced hut even with this handicap Saginaw showed its fighting spirit in each game. Coach Beatty spent much time in training the fellows in the technique of good defensive playing. Alma and Alpena Subdued Saginaw, in playing its first game of the season was victorious with scores of 3-0 and 19-0 respectively. In the Alma game a dropkick decided the game, while at Alpena Saginaw’s long runs and good playing made us an easy victor. Lapeer Tied Saginaw was in the lead with a 0-0 score in the beginning of the last quarter. With only two minutes to play Lapeer made a beautiful 60 yard run and tied the game. Northwestern Wins 7-2 Detroit's score came as a result of a blocked drop kick. The Colts had a margin on weight over Saginaw but our boys have the distinction of being the only team to score on the Colts. The score for Saginaw might have been 7 instead of 2. With 4 yards from the Colt’s goal line the Detroiters punted. H aeger blocked, but he was beaten to the ball by the Red and Grays, thus making it a safety.

S. 45-7 Again Saginaw gridders had the distinction of being the first team to make a touchdown against the Purple and Yellow. Chief” Nevitt's men towered above our seemingly midget team and cast them aside as they march- ed down the field. Our line was weak and could do nothing against Bay City's forward wall. At some stages during the last quarter Saginaw showed some fighting form, but it was short and far between. Flint Surprised 6-10 Saginaw High gridders surprised Flint by winning 10-6 in the first quart- er. Ilaeger and Pendell did the scoring for Saginaw. Pendell made a perfect dropkick which upset the inter-state schedule. Lansing Reds Down Saginaw 20-0 Meeting a team that had been defeated but once this year, Saginaw showed some of its best football, but lost to a score of 20-0. Lansing's strong offensive was too much for the Saginaw men who never gave up once, but kept on fighting till the end. Lansing’s fullback was right on the job sliding through the holes and making the touchdowns for Lansing. Saginaw Loses to Ann Arbor 22-0 Saginaw had to stoop low to another defeat when Ann Arbor used its “Benny Friedman” style of quarterback and the mixing up of plays. Sagi- naw’s tackling was of a slip-shod kind and the Black and Gold failed complete- ly in the exchange of punts. Pago Kcvcntg-ttcvcn AURORA 19 2 7 E. ZuehJkc H. Beatty W. Koepke R. Boughner A.

Throughout the entire season there was a lack of capable substitutes. The Black and Gold won the first three games easily, but Ray City emerged victorious from the fourth conflict with a topheavy score. Then various combinations were tried out. Due to sickness and ineligibility these were all broken up. Not until Saginaw defeated Flint and St. Mary’s, almost at the close of the season, was a good working combin- ation evolved. While the majority of the games went to the opponents the team made marked improvement throughout the year. The final game with Arthur Hill was a hard fought battle, the winning basket being caged in the last few minutes of play, giving the victory to the westsiders, 15 to 14. This was the second successive year that the Hillites have proven a jinx and de- feated Saginaw basketeers in the final game by a one-point margin. In recognition of their service to the school the following were awarded the “S ; Henry Pendell, Alfred Kurtz, Elmer Zuehlke, William Koqike, Romaine Boughner, Kenneth Zehnder, and Louis Haas. The prospects for a winning team next year are very good. In addition to the five letter men who will be back, McCaslin, Hayes, Witherell, Lawford, Taylor and Maksimowicz have gained experience which will make them even more valuable to the squad next year.

The sport was discontinued in 1922 because of expense, but with the adoption of the Student Union Plan provision was made to finance the team. Saginaw was fortunate in having an abundance of material to choose from. Up to the time of going to press the team, under the direction of Coach McMuliin, had lost two and won three.

Sumera Track Saginaw High lias established some good records during the 1927 track season under the coaching of Howard Beatty. Many of the boys have trained themselves to lie among the best athletes in the State. The team participated in a number of indoor and outdoor meets and were always able to place well. Saginaw participated in two indoor meets with Flint and one outdoor meet with Arthur Hill. Five of Saginaw's tracksters won their “S before the season was over. Theyiare J. I .u ten ski, F. Lewandowski, H. Wilcox, J. Passolt, and R. Boyse. At the meet in Kalamazoo, May seventh, Lutenski took fourth place in the javelin hurling and tied for second in the high jump. Lewandowski placed fourth in the 4-10, after drawing a poor position in the second line of a fie d of eighteen runners. Wilcox took sixth place in the broad jump but failed to qualify in the 100-yd. dash. Passolt in the 220 and Watters in the 100, and also on the relay, did good work considering the number of schools entered. At the University of Michigan meet, May thirteenth and fourteenth, Lew- andowski competed in the 440 and discus throwing, Lutenski in the high jump and in the 100 yard and broad jump. Track this year did not hold interest with the fellows as in previous years. The turnout was considerably less, but nevertheless Saginaw has placed high all season. Page Eightg AURORA 19 2 7 P.

We secured second place in competition with some of the leading schools in Michigan. Saginaw received four medals out of the twelve which were awarded. Franz Dreier's aide coaching was shown when Tom Zacharias won the gold medal for his excellent work on the parallel bars. Roy Colby gained second on horizontal bars while Elmer Frost placed second in tumbling and third place on the horses. Judging on these feats depends upon approach, retreat, form, difficulty of exercise and execution of exercise. The annual Gymnasium Exhibition was held at the City Auditorium, June third. All students taking gymnasium training participated. The boys and girls demonstrated their training on rope climbing, parallel bars, horizon- tal bars, Indian clubs, setting and horse jumping, and dancing. Saginaw High School was the first school in Michigan to offer a course in body building. This course has been open to students for twenty-two years. In addition to the gymnasium work a number of boys performed credit- able work on the football and basketball teams. Those receiving “R” awards for football are: H. Burgess, R. Carr, T. Scarth, R. Anklam, F. Schoedel, L. Janicke, H. Hoyle, B. Jochen, C. Hahn, J. Watters, C. Woods, J. Francis, F. Billington and hi. Walz. The “R’s” for basketball were awarded to the following: E. Hayes, T.

Blevins All School Varsity The all school varsity basket hall girls were picked at the end of the bas- ket ball season to play Arthur Hill High School girls. When the girls began practicing it was evident that we had a green team, but soon they became well seasoned and tried various combinations. A winning combination was found, and as a result the girls beat Arthur Hill and showed some very fine playing. Teamwork and experience that was acquired early in the season was splendid- ly shown in their games. 1 Dorothy Brandt, Vivian Fager and Geneva Blevins showed their skill in handling the ball and were instrumental in ringing up a nice score for Saginaw. These girls have also been awarded an “S” for their work in athletics. The other girls on the team played very well and it is evident that we shall have a strong team, with five of these players back next year. Page FAghty-tico AURORA 19 2 7 C. Frost G. Medier M.

These players were picked at the end of the basketball season to play with Arthur Hill. Most of the players are underclass girls who have had just one year of training and are developing into some fine caging. Their inexperience and lack of good team work accounts for their defeat by Arthur Hill. Each player must be 5 feet 2 inches or under. In this way the smaller girls have a chance to get team practice. Because of their height they are unable to get into the Varsity squad. “Gerry” Medler, a Post-graduate on the squad, has shown her experience in basketball and has led the other players to develop good combinations and team work. W hile the other members of the team are inexperienced they will, we hope, be able to win next year from our old rival and sister school, Arthur Hill. Page Eighty-three AURORA 19 2 7 N. Osborne . v. Fager K' Fox D. lirandi E. Persons G. Blevins “S” Girls For the past two years girls’ athletics has been conducted under a plan very different than in former years. Under the old plan very few girls could participate in all-school athletics, while under the new system of intra-mural athletics a large percentage of girls turn out, as each class has several teams. The Varsity Girls have had to give up their out of town games, but this does not lessen their enthusiasm for athletics. Under the new plan the system of awarding the “S” includes class teams of all sports, hiking, life-saving corps, skating and similar activities. When a girl turns out for a sport she is given fifty points toward her letter. If she makes the team fifty additional points are given her. Besides these, a girl has opportunity of making other points in extra activities. Sixty percent of the possible points gives a girl her numeral, and seventy percent her “S . Four Senior girls have been awarded their “S” this year. The following sports were included in this year schedule:—field hockey, basketball, volley ball, baseball, track and tennis. I aye.

I’endell and Taylor, number one and two men respectively, have been the outstanding players of the year and have made a double combination that has been hard to beat. Captain Ruh, who obtained valuable experience on the squad last year, has accounted for himself very creditably. Jennings, Merrill and Symons have all played excellent games and have helped to make a good record for the team. In the first two matches Saginaw was not very successful, but against Flint the team displayed excellent form and easily defeated their opponents. The prospects for next year are exceedingly bright as none of the mem- bers of the team will be lost through graduation. With all experienced play- ers Saginaw High should have one of the strongest tennis teams in the State. The girls' team, coached by Miss.Walker, was composed of Dorothy Brandt, Vivian Fager, Katherine Sommers, and Dorothy Wood. They ably upheld the honor of Saginaw High School throughout the season. Although the girls’ team will suffer heavy losses because of graduation, the present system of girls' athletics has developed players who can take their places next year.
