STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA I again became enthusiastic over football, and it was a joyful Thanksgiving Day when our team beat Arthur Hill 45-0. Shortly before Christmas vacation the Plorad Club and musical organizations presented the musical comedy Oh Boy! Vera Reese was capably cast as one of the leads, and several others of my number were in the choruses. About this time I chose my leaders for the rest of the 11A and for the 12B grades. They were: President, Frank Schultzg vice-president, Grace Botsford, and secretary, Arlene Fox. fChapter 3--1928-19293 It was during this term that I made my debut in dramatics. Clarence by Booth Tarkington was selected as the Junior play, and on April 13, was successfully presenfted with Frank Schultz and Ethel Coletti portraying the leading roles. With spring came exams, but they were soon forgotten in the general rejoicing that summer vacation was near. As a Senior I began to take an active interest in the Lantern. From my ranks came two editors for the paper, Ethel Coletti and Betty Clark, and also a business manager, Bert Schroeder. In addition to this two other memibers held important positions on the staif. On October 17th I chose Bert Schroeder as president, Edith Fellows as vice- president, Mildred Robinson as secretary, and Otto Boehlke as treasurer to steer my course during this last term. November 9th saw the presentation of the Senior play, Seventeen, with Frank Schultz again engagingly playing the lead and four other 12A's in the cast. Thanksgiving Day arrived, and with it Arthur Hill's victory and a most surprising score, 7-6, Debate next drew the limelight, and here I was represented by Otto Boehlke. The Cvhristmas holidays are here and gone. The event for which I have been working these three years is near at hand, and yet I cannot realize it. Of my number sixty-one remain to graduate. The 27th of January has passed, I have heard Rev. Schroeder speak, and Baccalaureate is over. The speeches of my president and valedictorian are yet ringing in my ears. The evening of the 29th is here. I have my diploma! BETTY CLARK Page Twenty-eight

STUDENT LANTERN-AURORA Autobiography of the Mid-Year Glass of '29 fChapter 1j Imay say that I was born on February 1, 1926, because previous to that time my component parts, eighty-seven in all, had been referred to as the 9A's of Central Junior High School, but now upon me in my entirety was conferred the title of Class of 1929. I have attempted to uphold my fair name with honor, but in doing so I must confess I have grown more sophisticated, as the pictures of three years ago and those of today testify. Undaunted by the fact that I was yet new to the school, I entered the Declama- tion Contest where I acquitted myself creditably. Then the next month on the 20th of March I embarked upon my social career at a most delightful party, the Sophomore Spread. A political matter next claimed my attention. I was one of the voters who brought about the adoption of that economical and democratic organization, the Student Union. On Friday, April 30th, I again cast my ballot-this time for William Knoepfi-e as 10B representative on the Atnhletic Association Board of Control. It has been decided that until September I would be governed by the same officers who had guided my course in Junior High, and accordingly Charles Frueh remained my president, Eva Beamish my vice president, Alfred Lodge my secretary and Grace Botsford my treasurer. Elizabeth Schuette and Harvey Roenicke became my representatives on the Student Council. And now came an event of another nature-the Gym Ex. It successfully marked the close of my first year, and I departed for a happy vacation. When school opened again in September, I took up the course of study of grade 10A. Practically the first matter I accomplished was the election of my representatives to the Student Union Council. From Room 306 Frank Schultz was elected, from Room 308 Charles Frueh, from 300 Ruth Thompson, and from 310 Grace Botsford. Of course, I became greatly interested in football at this time, and it is a matter of personal gratification that the captain of the 1926 team was Romaine Boughner, left guard on the 1927 all-state first team and a fellow graduate. The Turkey Day game, whicih he captained this year, resulted in a 0-0 tie, I again engaged in politics, and this time chose as my officers Frank Schultz, president, Fred Gaul, vice-president, Betty Clark, secretary, and Charles Frueh, treasurer. Without further incident except the joys of Christmas vacation and the despair of exams, this term ended. fChapter 2-1927-19285 At the beginning of the second semester a new election of Student Union repre- sentatives was held, and the following were named to represent their respective session rooms: Room 19, Grace Botsfordg 15, Frank Schultz, and 13, John Whalen. In May the Student Lantern placed first among Class B weeklies at the State Michigan Interscholastic Press Association convention at Ann Arbor, and at this time there were fifteen members of the 11B class on the staff. At the end of this term I had representatives in the Hi-Y, the Thencean, Quill and Scroll, the Girl Reserves, the band, orchestra, and various language clubs. At the opening of school in September the Student Union was again organized. Two of my number became officers of that body, Charles Frueh being chosen vice- president, and Grace Botsford 11th grade representative. The members of the council elected from the 11A session rooms were Frank Schultz, Francis Collom, and William Knoepfie. Page 'I'wi-lily-sox n
