I rene Rosensweig FAREWELL, SENIORS APPY to graduate and sorry to leave his beloved Alma Mater, his comrades, and his teachers, the senior departs from his school environment and encounters a new. unfamiliar, and difficult situa- tion. Commencing with the date entered as a freshie, through the senior year, much time is devoted to studies and school activities. But he is more or less dependent in everything he does. If his studies are complicated, his instructor is always ready to explain the work, and the blues vanish. During these four years each individual molds his character. If he pro- duces his best and is a loyal booster of the school, both teachers and students admire him and he is always remembered. Should he be a slacker in school, he is forgotten and there is an everlasting mar on his name. Nevertheless, a different phase of life appears in the graduate's career when he faces the world for a living. He is left on his own responsibility, with little or no help from others, to follow his own pursuit. Seniors, you are departing! You know your quali- fications. May they be of the best. Face the world boldly. We are not sent to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts. We have certain work to do, and that is to be done strenuously. These things are all a part of the great game of life, and to meet them and not go down before them in discouragement and defeat is the ultimate proof of power. We have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. Never turn backward. Farewell, Seniors! ARE YOU LAZY? F COURSE you are. We all are. We all like our work, more or less, but at the same time We love ease. We feel the urge to throw off our responsibilities and dance to the music of heart's desire. This urge is oldg it is inherited from a long line of ancestors with a tendency to gratify the des're for ease. Primitive peoples did not know the meaning of intensive labor. They worked now and then, but they did not make out programs of action, and they did not hold themselves to sustained effort through long periods of time in order to reach a distant goal. They did not feel the nervous strain which men and women feel today when their day's work is over. Although the labor of modern man is painful, it has its rewards. He works and suffers, but he has kept himself from hardship and starvation. The individual of the present day, however, feels in his own life the conflict which has been waged for generations. One need not worry because he is lazy, provided he will rise above it. But one succeeds only by learn- ing from the history of the race the lesson that the way to better things lies along the thorny path of sustained effort. YOUR LANGUAGE NE of the most frightful demonstrations of the non-application of our school lessons into practical use is the case of English grammar. And, unfortunately for many, this branch of learning is the one which most shows whether a person is edu- cated or not. People may fail to know their mathe- matics, Latin, science, or even history without transmitting the fact to other people around, but they cannot speak incorrect grammar without shouting that they are ignorant. One cannot have an interview with an employer without giving him one's true qualifi- cations. THE END 66 T'S all over but the shouting! Yes, it is true that the term is almost at an end. No more homework or diiiicult lessons to prepare. No more quizzes or exams for three long months. Suppose each individual should look over his record for the term ending June, 1928, and see whether he has gained or lost-whether or not he has worked as hard as possible in every academic course. To be recommended by the principal of the high school is a very valuable qualification for college life, and even for a good position in the world. But it is necessary to work for the recommendation, and that achievement should be every student's goal-a average at the close of each semester. Before it is too late-before you are in your senior year-create a Renaissance in your person-an awakening of the art of learning. HB!! Page Three Page Fowr The Prospector Staff SENIOR JOURNALISTS BUSINESS STAFF JUNIOR JOURNALISTS THE ROMANCE OF SIGHT-SEEING By Lela Bagozzi Thanks to our good , willvambassador. Colonel Charles A. Lind- bergh, the country of France has been brought close to our shores. This once un- known aviator accom- plished a feat that has made him famous the world over. The linking of France and the United States was the outcome of his wonder- ful trip to Paris. Hun- T .4 dreds of tourists visit this country year after year, Americans prominent among them all. France is noted for its many attractions and its numerous scenes of special historic interest. The poets often put into verse the gallantry of the stately knights of the Crusade days, and the energy and capacity of the French people is well known. A study of a trip to Paris and a description of its surroundings will be sure to arouse the curiosity and interest of the traveler, and here he will wend his way. The American tourist intending to visit France will embark from New York. He will have an exhilarating trip of eight days, according to the speed of the boat on which he travels. The days abroad are filled with delightful and novel incidents. Finally, as the boat nears the shores of France, the passenger feels a throb of joyous emotion, although he wonders whether dangers or pleasures will assail him in this strange country. He should have no fears on that score, however, for any of the French people would relieve his mind. He will soon make the discovery that France is the most hospitable of coun- tries and that tourists are welcomed with cordiality. An enormous crowd awaits the arrival of the boat in the port of Havre. The din of landing is terrific. The newcomer may recognize friends or relatives. If not, he will still experience the sensation as one who gloats over a new and priceless toyg everything that he sees will arouse his curiosity. As he gazes about him confusedly, a kindly porter offers his servicesg the employees of the railroad com- pany are usually honest and should be trusted. For a small sum of money the traveler saves himself much time and exasperation, for the porter will conduct him to the customs house, check his baggage, and be of general service. The customs ofiicer is authorized to search everyone. Usually, if the tourist is of a suspicious character, the officer will take his word for the contents of his bag- gage. From the customs office, one will follow the porter again. He will conduct the stranger back to the railroad station. In four hours one arrives in Paris. A porter dressed similar to the ones at Havre presents himself, and receiving the tourists' consent, he will superintend the recovery of his baggage and carry it to a taxi. The American University Union is a hotel frequented by many in France. One will find lodgings of all prices and orders. A traveler is always on his owng his decisions are of his own make. Paris is a very ancient city situated on the banks of two branches of the Seine. It is very pretty, and con-- trary to the huge and massive skyscrapers of New York, ofiice buildings of Paris have not more than tan floors. The Latin Quarter of France is very interesting. Here is found the scholastic element of the city. It is distinguished from the other parts of France because of its large number of schools and students. At hours of the day when study is in progress, the streets are desertedg and at other hours, students of all sizes and ages make the streets ring with gay laughter and joy- ous clamor. Paris is also noted for its wonderful parks and their valuable contents. The transportation facilities are very numerous and still more comfortable. Also, there are many monuments which tend to represent stages in the historical development of the country. A very important edifice in Paris is the Palace of the Louvre. This ancient building is the most artistic and the richest museum in the world. There are so many rooms in the palace, that it requires a visitor two or three days to go through them all. Notre Dame, a well-known cathedral, is a good example of Gothic architecture. Here are found many things of ancient mould, which tend to recall mem- ories of the terrors of the days of long ago. Many curious relics are on display before the visitors. In the French Pantheon are found the tombs of many famo.us men and women with wonderful, un- rivaled painting on the walls. Another interesting object which most tourists visit is the Arch of Triumph. This arch is magnificent. Napoleon had it built to celebrate the Revolution and the empire. It was built in memory of the great men and the unknowns who died for their country. The libraries in Paris are very numerous, over one- hundred fifty in number. The national library, con- taining nearly 3,500,600 books, is the largest. The knowledge derived from a visit to the museums is just as great as the knowledge derived from reading books in a library. The value of the vast display of relics cannot be estimated. On Sundays admission is usually gratis. But a visitor carrying an umbrella is obliged to leave it outside or he is not permitted to enter. fContinued on Page 381 Page Five N li IBERS OF THE 12A CLASS E ,I- Pn gc S 1'1l' Mics.

W7 1 i'lU9?9tt.t I Page Nine Valeclictory Address By Lillian Siegel Four years ago we entered the stately portals of Southwestern High School for the first time. We gazed with awe and new-born pride on our surroundings and started in at once to climb the steep mountain in our efforts to reach the summit, graduation. In order to reach this goal many difficulties and obstacles had to be overcome. As trembling anxious freshmen we had many terrors to subdue, among which fear was not the least important. Somehow or other, al- most unconsciously, we conquered these difficulties. Then with our sophomore year came a cock-sure feeling and a certainty in our feeling of belong- ing. It made us relax our efforts and fall into the easy rut of leisurely living. Lessons were things to be ignored-we were no longer lowly freshmen - but sophomores! The feeling of being the lords of all that we surveyed , however, had to be overcome. It was merely another obstacle-and conquer it we did! For, when we lost the feeling of be- ing privileged characters, we once more settled down to serious think- ing and studying. And then juniors! The step leading us nearer to our ultimate A goal! This era, however, had the smallest number of difficulties for us to overcome. At last, seniors-with gradu- ation already slipping into the depths of a bottomless well of past memories. Graduation, with all its is here at last. We have practically lived the whole of four of the most important years of our lives here and now we must go. There will be new fields to conquer, new glories to achieve, and new experiences to live. Yet, these past four years will have a strong bearing upon our future. Our work here has helped us plan the next phase of our lives. Many of us will assume responsibilities as freshmen in colleges and universities-others in the business of the city. Those going out into the business world may rise to the ranks of successful business men and women. After graduation we shall no longer be the dignified seniors of Southwestern High, but We shall be beginners at the bottom of the ladder which leads to success. May we each follow a course that will eventually make pos- sible for us the rich heritage that the future holds for the real American man and woman. We hope to pursue all our endeavors with a spirit of doing our best. Let us maintain the habits of self- Page Ten joys and sorrows, SENIOR OFFICERS Upper Left: DALE DEWITT, President Upper Right: FERN JOHNSON, Vice-President Lower Left: HELEN TOWNSEND, Secretary Lower Right: KENNETH BECKETT, Treasurer President's Address By Dale DeWitt Teachers and Friends: As we are meeting this evening for the last time before graduation, I am overcome by a number of emo- tions.

For four years I have looked forward to graduation, but now that it is here, I greet it with a certain twinge of re- I am sorry to think that in a few short days our four years here at Southwestern will come to an all too sudden end. We have made many acquaintances here which have oftentimes d e v el o p e d into the warmest of friendships. Through- gret in my heart.

When we review I our four years at Southwestern we feel highly elated over our accom- I plishments. The act of graduation naturally causes one to have a cer- tain feeling of self esteem, which I cannot help being evident at a time like this. We are leaving Southwestern, many of us never to return. But even though we never come back to our Alma Mater, we will always have in our minds the countless number of good times and associ- ations we have enjoyed here at school. I want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the teachers, whose guidance and co-operation has never been lacking. We will for- ever be indebted to them for their untiring efforts in preparing us for one of the happiest days of our lives -Commencement Day. Our graduation would not be complete unless we thought of our parents, who have in a major way been responsible for our success. Without their unceasing care and help we might never have been able to experi- ence the thrill of this day. l control, study and friendliness that we have learned. The faculty, as well as our dear parents, have wisely and patiently given us the benefits of their knowledge and experience, and we have come to appre- ciate more and more their unselfish service. Without their assistance we shall feel like young birds sent forth alone from the nest to try our wings for the first time. Let us hope that we may not fail in our attempts. What ever we may do, now that we are leaving our Alma Mater, let us go forth blazing a trail of the vic- tories we have won, and seeking still others to conquer. FOUR YEARS OF ACTION By Edward Budnik Four years ago we, as verdant and unsophisticated freshmen, launched forth upon our high school careers. Anyone could tell we were new to the school by the queer expressions upon our faces. At first we were very timid and bashfulg but after we became acquainted with each other, we lost our fear and shyness and became very bold and smart. I remember once when some upperclassmen sent me to Lieutenant Yeager to ask for a cannon report. Imagine my embarrassment when he explained to me what a cannon report was! Our first social function was the freshman mixer. The girls had a very good time dancing, while the boys, thinking the walls looked weak, leaned against them all evening to hold them up. Nothing else important hap- of the floor and pinned yards and yards of crepe paper together. When their day's labor was over. their faces were so dirty that they looked as if they had worked in a factory all day. At the dance everybody had a good time because almost everyone knew how to dance. It was a difficult job to make them quit and to go home. As seniors we chose the following officers: Dale DeWitt, presidentg Fern Johnson, vice-presidentg Ken- neth Beckett, treasurerg and Helen Townsend, secretary. Mrs. Nettleship and Miss Carrel were our group teachers. Miss Hanley and Mr. Becker were chosen class day advisers. Early in the semester the boys put on a circus, with the money raised they gave a banquet to all the pupils in Southwestern who had earned ath- letic letters. The circus was a wonderful affair. It pened that year except that Lyle Jannisse started to shave. In our sophomore year, we be- gan to go out for athletics and to join clubs. Margaret Shopkin and George Miller were the members of our class that were outstanding athletes in the course of our school careerg both of them earned many letters. Gerald Krause and Lillian Siegel were our representatives on the debating team. It seemed to us that they were Bryan's only rivals as silver-tongued orators. The next year Mr. Pinnock tried out a new system, putting all the 11A boys in one group under the leadership of Miss Carrel. Dur- ing this year a five-piece orchestra was organized. Kenneth Beckett was the versatile leader. Remem- ber the time he played Give Me a Night in June on his trombone? With this unusually good orchestra in existence, dancing became very popular. Since the girls were such good dancers, the boys decided to learn also. They secured as their COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM MARCH-Southwestern Class Song ....... ll Iujit SOUTHWESTERN HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Directed by Miss Helen B.

Milton Sil- verman, dressed as a baby, seemed to enjoy q u i t e thoroughly the pretty little pink pacifier which his thoughtful mother, Bill Sands, had purchased for him. Hayes John- son was a mule and Lyle Jannisse a collegiate young gentleman. An- dy Papp and Kenneth Sansom pleased the audience with their Bowery dance. Papp still has some of the scars on his legs. Ask him about them and he'll show them to you. The coaches for senior play were Miss Davis and Miss Savage. The play selected was The Poor Nut . Finding a lead for such a play was not difficult, for Dale DeWitt and Kenneth Sansom had all the neces- sary qualifications. During re- hearsals everybody was enter- tained by Andrew Papp. He once gave us an imitation of Poca- hontas. No one could doubt his dramatic ability after that act was ended. She had a very difiicult time because the boys wanted to learn the Black Bottom right away. When they knew what dancing was about, they gave the 11A girls a party. After being stepped on at the dance, the girls gave the boys a banquet. The food was good and everybody en- joyed himself. The girls did not cook the meal them- selves because the boys had a high attendance record which the girls didn't want to spoil by giving them indigestion. To end a successful year, the boys gave a party at Miss Carrel's home. It was at this party that Miss Savage says she ate so many hot dogs that she gained ten pounds. Time rolled swiftly on, and soon we were proud juniors. As officers we chose Dale DeWitt, presidentg Kenneth Beckett, vice-presidentg Helen Townsend, se- cretary, Harriet Hull, corresponding secretaryg and Kenneth Sansom, treasurer. The chief business carried on was the planning of the junior-senior dance. On the morning of the day on which the dance was given, the members of the decorating committee and Miss Carrel turned out to get things ready. They sat in the center After the senior play had been given, we began to study much harder, for examinations were near at hand, and, of course, we felt that we must maintain our good record. Now our high school work is ended. Tomorrow we go out into the world to make history that is more interest- ing than any I have here recorded. tems- E mf- E mf: fm- ml--SE- sr-E my Reckwald was fleet of foot, The hero of the day, When they started the half-mile race, Z He ran the other way. , I Q The Poor Nut was a young man Who was picked on all the timeg 9 l But after the final race was run, Q He made Hoyt look like a dime.

A GLANCE INTO THE FUTURE By LYLE JANNISSE '4Such is the life of a trav- eling salesman, I mum- bled as I hailed a taxi for the station. As the yellow carry-all approached, whom should I recognize behind the wheel but Russell Reck- wald. On the way to the station, he told me that he and Stephen Martin, who had been in the navy for eight years, were the champion boxers of their respective weights. Stephen went under the name of Battling Stevenski and Russ, Kid Reckemf' I inquired why they left the Navy. He said that they married Grace Kirchoff and Velma Riopelle and were now living happily on Hast- ings Boulevard. He also added that they did all their buy- ing at Bagozzi's grocery store. Clare is now a big busi- ness woman. When I arrived at the station, six bellhops dashed for my suitcase. It looked as if I were going to be killed in the rush. They finally slowed down and I saw that they were Norman Koch, Clarence Wieland, James Magadini, Edward Heldt, Edwin Zielke, and Clarence Wissman. I settled the argument by letting all six of them carry my grip. I thought maybe it would be too big a load for one of the little fellows to carry alone. I tipped each of them a cent. Noticing I had thirty minutes to wait for the train, I wandered about the station. Due to force of habit I roamed into a lunch emporium. After waiting fifteen minutes for service, I happened to glance under the counter, and, to my surprise, I saw Al Pugno and Clate Brechin, wrapped in aprons, sound asleep. From then on I believed in the old adage that habits formed in school could never be broken. As I turned away from the counter, I saw a big crowd collected around a doorway over which hung a sign, Beauty Par- lor. In my inquisitive way I went over to see what it was all about. What a shock I received! There, on a platform, Arthur Plots, now a famous French beauty ex- pert, was introducing Professor Ebeling. From the intro- duction, I learned Fred had found a marvelous formula for growing hair. At last his ambition is realized, I thought, as I saw his long curly hair and his little mus- tache. In the audience were many beauty experts, such as Edna Rebert, who now had become pleasingly plump, Grace McLean, Dot Quandt, and Aggie Radcliffe. When I turned away, whom should I see coming across the floor but Ruby and Fern Johnson, dressed in old house aprons, carrying mops and pails. Bringing up the rear was Lenora Behm, wearing a beautiful dust cap and shouldering a broom. Just as I was going over to speak to them, something boomed out like a peal of thunder. My fears were soon quieted, however, as I saw the figure of Clarence Sloan announcing the trains. On my way to the car I saw Tom Naubert and Eugene Rose selling crowbars, with which to open the Pullman windows. I always did say those boys had good busi- ness heads. Ann Zorvan was buying a dozen of them. She passed a remark about running out of rolling pins. Here's hoping her husband has a hard head. I had just settled in my seat when I heard a familiar voice shout, Peanuts, popcorn, chew-gum, chew gum. Looking up, I recognized the owner of the voice as Eddie Budnik. He told me that he had just had a fight with Gladys Meinzinger. She ate all his candy and then told him to charge it to Santa Claus. I felt sorry for Eddie Page Fourteen because Gladys is a strong woman in Florence Dubke's famous circus. After the train had started, John Kuhr came wobbling down the aisle asking for tickets, in his good old Irish brogue. He sat down and talked to me for a long time. He told me that Harold Gloyd and Kenny Townsend were in an insane asylum. Gloyd had gone crazy over fire engines and all he did at the asylum was ride around in a red kiddy-car. Kenny became insane when Regina Singer threw him down. All at once we began to smell an irritating odor in the train and we both began to sneeze. When I turned around to try to find its source, I saw Dale DeWitt and Norma Heddle blowing sneezing powder at each other. I quickly stuck my head out the window for a little fresh air. My glance happened to rest on a lanky figure standing on the engine, holding a net over the smoke- stack. Every minute or so he emptied the net in a basket. I quickly asked John to explain it to me. He told me that the railroad had given Scottie Sands permission to collect cinders that way, because he wanted to build a drive-way for his notorious Ford. I asked John if anyone else I knew worked on the railroad. He told me that George Reske was a section boss and that George Sagatelian, Wilbur Wagner, and Steve Tompos. who had run for president of the Correct English Club and had been defeated, worked under him. He said that Jerry Hallahan was an engineer, Mike Kareha, a fire- man, and that Elizabeth Neff sold popcorn in a big sta- tion in New York. As John had to leave me to collect some tickets, I busied myself looking around the car. There, in one corner, was a big banner, Reform Workers' Society. I saw Peggy Czap dressed in a long black gown, wearing big glasses, with her were Ethel Kendy and Velma Koska. They seemed to be talking and nodding to some one on the other side of the car. When I looked in that direction I had the surprise of my life. There sat Phyllis Wolven, Bernice Miller, and Jerry Saville, with their faces all powder and rouge. Geraldine seemed to be fiirting with a big butter and egg man across the aisle, whom I recognized as Gerald Krause. As I glanced at their suitcases I saw they were from a show company. Just then I saw Kuhr motion for me to follow him. He led me to a private car. We slowly opened the door. I almost dropped dead! Kenny Sansom, sitting in a big easy chair, was telling his private secretary, Julia Ben- nett, what he was going to do in the next golf tourna- ment and how he was going to defeat the new champ, Joe Marvaso. On a little table next to him was a pic- ture of Leonora Corsini. We quietly closed the door. It was still the same old Sansom. I bought a paper from Karl Wagner, the famous red- headed newsboy of the Michigan Central R. R., and set- tled down to read for the rest of my journey. I had no more than picked up the paper when the train came to a grinding stop. I quickly looked to see what was the matter. There, on the track, about three feet in front of the engine, sat Anna Kovacs, Anna Miglin, and Helen Petro, playing Jacks. Soon the track was cleared and the train started. When I resumed my reading, I received another shock. In glaring headlines was- Dettmer follows in the foot- steps of Nancy Miller and turns Hindu. As I read on I saw he had changed his religion, and had gone to India. Being clairvoya-nt, our p r o p h. e t has foreseen g r e a t success for the most brilliant Seniors. Many of the underclass- men are doubtful of our seer's ability, but-well, time will tell. Right under this was an- other article which caught my eye. It stated that An- drew Papp, Kenneth Beck- ett, Miss Hull, and Geral- dine Knaggs, famous movie celebrities, were leaving for Europe. At the side of this column was a picture of the captain of the boat, Hayes Johnson, and his first mate, John Kenyeres, greeting the actors as they em- barked. In the corner of the picture was the signature of Steven Dallos, the famous photographer. As I glanced through the society column, I read that Juanita Millsap was engaged to Michael Varga, famous million- aire collar-button manufacturer. Ithen turned to the sport page. I saw that the United States Olympic team, headed by Whitie Miller, the famous weight man, had a big chance against the Hun- garian team led by the red-headed streak, Knight. The Davis Cup tennis team had won the championship. This team included Margaret Shopkin, Adeline LaJoie, Dor- othy Frahm, and Helen Townsend. They had easily defeated the French team headed by the ace, Irene Rosensweig. My reading was cut short by John an- nouncing my station. When I stepped off the train, I saw little Milton Silverman and Emily Romberger fight- ing to see who would sell an apple to Laura Crawford, a famous evangelist, who was making a trip to the Canary Islands. I entered the bus and right up above I saw a big sign S1000.00 reward for the capture of Ed. Kurzat- kowski and Alex Vargo, convicted of stealing air out of a tire. On our way to town, I overheard one man tell an- other about a big social affair they were having in the town hall. Edward Coulson, the famous author of The Swedish Lover , was to be the main speaker. They were also to have speeches from Otto Marotz, famous artist 3 Elva Strong and Lois Windmueller, scientistsg Agnes Schuelke, pianistg and their beloved Mayor, Lil- lian Siegel, who was to present Hester Wood and her troop of girl scouts a prize for the service to the town. I sighed and leaned back in the seat. What a day! I had seen or heard of all my old classmates. It did my poor heart good and brought back memories of the past. Slowly I fell asleep. Classmates, this is just another of my humorous prophesies. Your accomplishments I know will far ex- ceed anything I could predict for you. With our class moto, Conquering and still to con- quer , ever before us and the old Southwestern fighting spirit, I am sure we cannot fail.

The Class of '28 By Julia Bennett Now our high school days are over And our victory is wong But the parting comes with sadness, For our journey now is done. Many times the road's been stony, And the pathway hard to treadg But it's been a pleasant journey, For the sun shone overhead. Now, alas, our pathways severg We have reached the forking road Where the paths lead for asunder Into realms of strange abode. Each road leads us to the future, Filled with wealth unseen, untold. May the way of each be sunny And to each the best unfold. As we travel Life's great highway, And with smiles accept our fate, We'll ne'er forget our schoolmates Of the class of twenty-eight. So we'll turn out footsteps backward To the happy days of old, When we studied back in high school 'Neath the dear old Blue and Gold. lContinued from Page Thirteenl I, Clarence Wissman, do will and bequeath to Amphion Sheldon my promptness in handing in daily exercises.

I, Geraldine Knaggs, do will and bequeath to Mildred Ray my ability to inspire young men to poetical dreams. This will has been witnessed this day, May 28, 1928, in the presence of G. W. MURDOCH. MATILDA ANDERSON, NoEL E. CRAIG, Page Fifteen Presentation of Spade By Leonora Corsini Juniors, it has been the privilege of my classmate to present to you the pick which was used to break the ground for our much loved school. I hold in my hands the spade which turned the first sod. This spade was presented to us seniors six months ago. It has been to us a reminder that we must dig deeply into the roots of knowledge if we wished to attain the heights of glory. Now it has grown dear to us, and as we leave, I fear we grow a bit sentimental. Oftentimes we have become discouraged and have felt as though we could end our pursuit of knowledge right then and there, when suddenly and unexpectedly a new attempt would yield some of the riches for which we had been searching. It was through these excavations that we have been able to accumulate the wealth of knowledge which we possess. Many students have taken this spade and started on for a greater education. They started with good inten- tions, but gradually fell by the wayside. In this grad- uating class there are those who started at the begin- ning and who, having overcome all obstacles, have at least reached this great goal. This spade is a challenge to you-it holds forth prom- ises of unknown riches yet to be gleaned from the boundless wealth that still remains untouched. It is yours to decide whether you will accept the challenge it so presents. Therefore, in the name of the class of June, 1928, I present it to you, hoping that you may ever use it wisely. Acceptance of Spade By Albert Beauvais We, the junior class, accept the spade from the senior class with the intention of furthering its tradition. In doing this we will make a better school. Each junior class, upon receiving the pick and spade, has harder work to do than the previous one, because each gradu- ating class is a little better than the one preceding. We will have a hard time measuring up to the standards of the present senior class, but I think we can do it, at least we will try. The Southwestern pick and spade! For what do they stand? They represent Southwestern traditions. How are they used? As a pick breaks up the hard surface, and the spade lifts the fragments into the wagon or storehouse, so in Southwestern, the reasoning power makes the knowledge to be gained accessible, while the memory places it in the brain-learned. The junior class accepts the spade and promises to pre- serve its honor and integrity. May future Southwestern students do the same. Page 'Sixteen Presentation of Pick By Gerald Krause ' In behalf of the successful outgoing seniors, I have the pleasure of presenting to you this pick. For four years this implement has been a standard and an ideal for the seniors to uphold and raise. Now that we are about to leave Southwestern, and go on into the world seeking our fates and fortunes, we hope that we may feel confident that the standard of this pick will be maintained and that the juniors will do all that they can to raise them. You are undertaking a great task. May you meet with more success and glory for the Blue and Gold. Acceptance of Pick By Sylvia Zimmerman Having the opportunity of accepting the pick this eve- ning, we, the juniors, promise faithfully to guard this with more success and glory for the Blue and Gold You, the seniors, have exhibited remarkable grit and verve in your attempt to make this the most successful year. As you have done, so will we likewise do. Our motto shall be, Dig deeper and deeper. With this treasured pick, symbolic of the successful efforts of many loyal seniors, and with an everlasting memory of your accomplishments, we will strive to es- tablish records without parallel in the history of South- western. Before you depart, however, we, the juniors, extend the best of wishes to you seniors and sincerely hope that whatever you undertake will meet with great success. The Goal By Laura Crawford Four years ago came we hither, Some as strangers, most as friends. Four short years we worked together Looking forward to the end. Many hardships, many pleasures Stretched before us on our way, Leading to the day of triumph That is called Commencement day. Soon we'll look into the future, Knowing not what lies before- Realizing not the treasures We are leaving ever more. SENIORS PRESENT THE POOR NUT The Poor Nut , a comedy farce, was presented by the seniors with great verve and pep on May 24 and 25. Symbolic of the title, the play centers around a col- lege student named Robert Miller, of Ohio State Uni- versity. He is very clever in botany but bashful in the presence of girls. He has written to a girl from Wis- consin whom he has never seen, pretending he is a great athlete and a big fraternity man. Marjorie Blake, a student of Ohio State and a friend of Julia Winters, the Wisconsin girl, sympathizes with John. She obtains a , .

Lower Row: Edna Rebert, Harriet Hull, Ken- neth Sansom, Helen Townsend, Norma Heddle, Kenneth Town- send, Gerald Krause, Grace McLean. position in the same book store at which he works and tries to aid him in overcoming his bashfulness. Just before the big track meet between Ohio State and Wis- consin, Miss Winters comes to the book store, searching for John. She encounters Marjorie, who later tells Mil- lcr she has been there. Julia is engaged to Spike Hoyt, captain of the Wiscon- sin team, who is infuriated with her. When she finally meets Miller, she is disgusted. But at the track meet she roots for Ohio State. After Miss Winters converses with John he believes himself to be possessed of an in- feriority complex. Two of the Ohio State men are un- able to run, and the coach chooses John. He is compelled to run against Spike in the 440. Hoyt beats him, because John is afraid of being spiked, but in the relay he re- instates himself by winning for Ohio. In the end he asserts himself and claims Marjorie as his bride. The first act of the play takes place in Colonel Sma1l's book store in Columbus, Ohio. Finding Margie working in the store, John becomes somewhat disgusted with him- self, thinking that he has been discharged. He, how- ever, finds that Margie is his assistant. John and Margie have many interesting conversations, but they are always interrupted by John's tormentors. In the first act of the play Julia tells John that he has an inferiority complex. This worries the poor nut and makes him more discouraged than ever. When Coach Jackson appeals to his pride, John becomes furi- ous and is determined that he will win the meet at all costs. The second scene displays the track meet. Spectators, the peppy music of Wisconsin and Ohio colleges, played by the school orchestra, and the varsity yells led by Magpie make a big hit. The third act discloses the dinner-dance in the Psi Sigma fraternity house. After a trying evening, John pronounces himself free from the complex. Hoyt comes to the rescue and takes Julia back again as his fiance. The part of John Miller was played by Kenneth San- som and Dale DeWitt, Helen Townsend and Fern John- son portrayed the role of Marjorie, Harriet Hull and Ruby Johnson acted the part of Julia, the Wisconsin co-ed. The character of Spike Hoyt, Captain of the Wisconsin track team, was taken by Gerald Krause and Gerald Hallahan.

Page Seventeen THE WORK OF THE COUNCILLORS-STUDENT COUNCIL AIDS SCHOLARSHIPS Clarence Sloan, President of the Stu- dent Council, has guided the club through an unusually active semester. Perhaps the best thing that they have done is to promote the school's scholarship. Two very good mass-meetings were held for this purpose, and scholarship has been a subject very much discussed by repre- sentatives in the Coucil and in the groups. Two mixers were also given, one each for the lower and the upper grades. The council supervises the mixers every year. Both were very much enjoyed. Represen- tatives from Northwestern's Council were present at a council meeting and at the upper grade mixer. In return, some of the Prospector councillors attended one of their meetings and a dance at the home of the Colts. It is interesting to note the differences between the two councils. The Southwestern council plans to visit coun- cils in other schools, also. A football scoreboard will be ready for use next sea- the Student son. Its making has been sponsored by Council. Money was raised by a basketball contest be- tween 12A and 12B boys' teams. The Hi-Y appreciated the help of the club during their clean-up week. J. B. Angell secured the support of all the members of the Council in this worth-while cam- paign. Junior Student Council Problem The Junior Student Council, which is composed of seventh and eighth grade pupils, has completed a very interesting semester. Through the effort of the coun- cil and the co-operation of the student body, two cups were procured for intramural basketball and baseball activities. The cups will be passed from victor to victor, year after year. The oliicers during the past term were: , . The Junior Council president, Joe Walsh, vice-president, Elwood Priceg sec- retary, June Precobb. There are twenty-four members in the council, one to represent each group. The mem- bers are: 7A-1, Paul Lucas, 7A-3, John Ziegler, 7A-5, Joe Benedickg 7A7, John Steiner, 8B-1, Simon Weissg SB-3, Russell Hiltmang 8B-5, John Klupacsg 8B-7, E1- wood Price, 8A-1, Joe Wash, 8A-3. David O'Pearg 8A-5, Page Eighteen The Senior Council A petition to obtain soap and towels for the boys was sent to the Board of Education. These necessities were procured and are now being used. Through the aid of the council, the gym ofiice has a first aid kit. William Voellmig is vice-president, Margaret Dem- chak, secretary, and Cecelia Linn is corresponding secre- tary of the Student Council this year. Checker Club Affairs The Checker Club was represented in the city checker tournament by two of its members, John T. Kuhr and George Hughes. Both turned in good performances. George Hughes was eliminated in the district final, while John T. Kuhr did not lose out until the finals for the west side championship. The Club will probably lose four of its members by graduation in June. They are John T. Kuhr, Joseph Marvosa, Clarence Sloan, and Stephen Martin. Students who wish to join the club next term are asked to turn in their names to Miss Carrel, who is the club's faculty adviser. The club oiiicers are: President, John T. Kuhr, vice- president, Albert Beauvaisg secretary, Randall Grayg treasurer, John Harris. The club members are John T. Kuhr, Stephen Martin, Joseph Marvaso, John Harris, Albert Beauvais, Randall Gray, George Hughes, Stanley Burbank, Clarence Sloan, and Preston Cook.

REVELERS BRING IN KNAVE OF HEARTS The Girls' Dramatic Club has experienced one of its most active and successful semesters since its origin in 1923. Juanita Mill- T sap's capable lead- ership and the co- operation o f t h e g i rl s combined to make the work of the club very effec- tive. The Young Men's Club-Dramatic Club dance held on March 28 was con- sidered the m o s t successful of its kind. The constitution of the Girls' Dramatic Club calls for the performing of one play a year and the attending of another. Adhering strictly to the constitution, the girls produced t'The Knave of Hearts on March 73 and on February 2-1, the members saw Take My Advice at the Bonstelle Playhouse. The Dramatic Club girls entered into the Yuletide spirit of the year by the contribution of a Christmas Junior Y. M. C. Aids School Among some of the duties undertaken and accom- plished by the Junior Young Men's Club are the Nord- strum mass meetings held for soccer, baseball, basket- ball, Student Council, and other clubs and activities. The aim of the club is to promote further interest in school spirit and school activities. A megaphone has been purchased recently to be used at all Nordstrum and Southwestern games. Every week during the spring semester swimming contests were held among the mem- bers of the club. The members of the club are represented in many branches of school life, such as: basketball, baseball, soccer, student council fSouthwestern and Nordstruml, Service Club, and cheer leading. Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Chynoweth are the new advisers of the club. Miss Tucker remains as honorary member. I - -Mas.. 1 r The activities of the club are largely modeled upon those of the senior Young Men's Club. The oflicers appointed this term are: president, Benny Gruenfeldtg vice-president, Kenneth Himesg secretary, Alex Vidag treasurer, George Weiss. Dramatic Club Players basket and the donation of clothes to an unfortunate family. The girls gave the student council pins l a s t semester, to give council mem- bers a reward of merit. This sem- ester the club re- placed several that had been lost dur- ing the term. On May 10 the club c o n ducted a mass meetingat which Miss Morrow. gymnasium instructor at the Bonstelle playhouse, spoke. There were several other immensely interesting speakers. The annual banquet marked the close of a prosperous term for the Girls' Dramatic Club. The officers for the semester were: President, Juanita Millsapg vice-presi- dent, Mildred Rayg secretary, Irene Demchakg corre- sponding secretary, Leonora Corsinig treasurer, Hester Wood. S. Y. M. C. Have Enjoyable Term As usual, the Southwestern Young Men's Club spon- sored all the mass meetings this term. This work has been done in a commendable manner. Several dances have also been given. On March 17, the Girls' Dramatic Club was enter- tained. The party was a huge success. Most everyone was dancing and the eats were very good. Ask anyone at- tending whether he had a good time! At their own mass meeting, The Shooting of Dan McGrew was presented. While some of the boys did not make very good dance hall girls, the play was de- cidedly entertaining. Twice a year, a ban- C quet is given for the win- ning side having best at- tendance. These groups are divided at the beginning of the term. Money is raised through the year. This year there was a dance on May 31, at which enough money was raised to provide a good banquet. After the ban- quet it was unnecessary to ask the boys if they wanted anything to eat. Their appetites were appeased. As an innovation, the club is planning to promote public speaking by giving a trophy to the group that makes the best speech. Page Nineteen HI-Y SPONSORS CLEAN-UP WEEK Boys Give Dads Banquet Due to the entrance of a number of the former Torch Hi-Y members, the Hi-Y's membership greatly in- creased this semester. This organization is open to any boy who is enrolled Girl Reserves Have Jolly Term The Girl Reserves began the new term with Phyllis Rago, presidentg Margaret Kanoc, vice-president, Norma Heddle, secretaryg and Irene Rosensweig, corresponding secretary. Alice Goodenow was appointed to the Inter- t'lub Council and Lucille Myles, sergeant-at-arms. Phyllis Rago and Norma Heddle represented the club at the Mid-Winter Conference in Lansing, on January 15, 16. and 17. The girls brought back some very helpful and pleasing suggestions, and the t ganization feels that it has profited by them. Eleven girls joined the club in Februaryg the recogni- tion services were held at Vinewood House on February 29. The Friday following the recognition, they went through one of the most complicated initiations ever in- tiicted upon girls joining the club. The big time of the semester came at the beginning, when the girls gave a Father and Daughter , banquet on February 27. Miss Scheere of the Highland Park organ- ization was the speaker of the evening. The purpose of this affair was to get the dads acquainted with their daughters in a social way, and to make these fathers feel at home in the school. On April 11, the club gave an Adamless dance for the girls of the entire school. Everyone turned out to have in this school and who gets a two-thirds vote of the membership of the club. The Hi-Y backed one of the biggest enterprises in all the school, 'Tlean Up Week. J. B. Angell was appointed chairman. He posted signs in near- ly all of the rooms and halls. The campaign was very successful. One class went as far as clean- ing up all their lockers and opening them for in- spection to anyone who cared to look at them. A party with the Girl Reserves was gay with dancing and games until someone announced the Meats . This club also managed a father and son ban- quet in February, with the largest turnout South- western has ever had at any banquet of this kind. The Hi-Y, a division of the Y. M. C. A., has as its aims the promotion of clean living, clean ath- letics, clean speech. and clean scholarship. The oflicers of the Hi-Y are: president, Archie Ho- gang vice-president, Kenneth Beckettg secretary, Albert Beauvaisg treasurer, J. B. Angell. Torch Hi-Y Wins Quintet Title The Torch Hi-Y is divided into two sections, the Gold Chapteru and the Blue Chapterv. The Club consists of forty members who meet regularly once a week. The pur- pose of the Club is to enjoy social activities and to de- velope members physically, mentally, socially, and morally. They won the city championship in Hi-Y basketball by defeating Strathmoor. -17 to 21. They helped sponsor the Father and Son banquet. and they presented a large picture to the new West Side Y. M. CK A. Every month they entertained the seniors. Several programs were also given by the Hi-Y's. This term the club initiated six new members on March 29. During each meeting the members have a devotional period. The two chapters meet separately during their respective business hours, but they unite for their social hour. The club is now hoping to gain the indoor baseball championship from the other Hi-Y clubs of this city. The members will close the term by attending a banquet at the new West Side Y. M. C. A. building. an enjoyable timeg sailors, up-to-date sheiks. artists, Apaches, and farmers were there in full array. There were prizes for the best-dressed couple and a booby prize for the funniest. Page Twenty Slide Rule Mathematicians DeWitt Severence, president, Margaret Kanoc, vice- presidentg and Gerald Hallahan, secretary-treasurer, were chosen to lead the Slide Rule Club this semester. Thirty new members were added to the roll in a short time. The Slide Rule Club is sorry to lose five members, due to graduation. They are: Gerald Hallahan, William Sands, Lyle Jannisse, George Sagatelian, and Lillian Siegel. One of the first tasks provided for learning to operate the slide rule. The members did not spend all their time at this work, however. A picnic was planned at which the members thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Mr. Seaver, adviser of the Slide Rule Club. predicts the rr ost brilliant accomplishments for the coming term. l- Librarians Make Scrap Book The library staff of Southwestern High School had twenty-one members this semester, the largest number of girls to take this course since its origin in 1926. The library girls generously contributed to the making of' a scrap-book. In it are pictures of the staff and the librarians and also statistics of the daily circulation and attendance. A scrap-book of this sort was made in every high school in the city, to be presented at a convention of the American Library Association, which was held from May 9 to June 2 at West Baden, Indiana. Miss Doll attended the convention during the last week of May. The March meeting of the Detroit high school librar- ians was held in the Southwestern library on March 17. The room was attractively decorated with green crepe paper. There were also green plants of various kinds. It was a St. Patrick's Day tea. The library girls served. Since the girls had no means of distinguishing them- selves, they decided to purchase pins this term. In return for the Christmas party the II's and III's gave the I's, the I's gave a party for the rest of the girls in June. The following statistics were found: Monthly attendance in the library each hour, 9,142 Monthly circulation in the library, 2,880. Number of bindery books, 1,000. Number of new books, 350. This course is also for boys. Many boys in other schools are taking advantage of the opportunity. There are two-and-half hours' credit offered for this course. Anyone interested should see Miss Doll. Southwestern Librarians As the Poets View Life The Poetry Club hopes to serve as a center of fellow- ship for boys and girls who find in verse one of the chief delights of life. Some young people find this delight in music. in the brush and pencil, in dancing, or in dra- matics. But in any big school there is always a group of people who feel that, even more than in these things, aesthetic satisfaction lies in the music and magic of verse. The Poetry Club Poets and poetry lovers have always been persons of the most diverse gifts and destinies. Some have been kings and conquerors, like David and D'Annuncio, some farmers and shepherds like Virgil and Burns, statesmen like John Hays and Bayard Taylor, or successful business men like Louis Untermeyer. But always, whatever their major preoccupations, they felt the need of the Henchanted line , and of a little circle of friends with whom to share it. The Poetry Club was newly organized this last semes- ter, but already it has thirty-five enthusiastic members. So far its chief activity has been the writing of verses, some of which have appeared in each issue of The Pros- pector, others in the corridor cases. The officers are: Edwin Coulson, President. Laura Crawford, Vice-President. Charles Thoms, Secretary. Winnifred Bergstresser, Treasurer. Charlotte Firth, Chairman of the Editorial Committee. Margaret Reed, Chairman of the Publication Com- mittee. Miss Bowyer is the sponsor. Biology Club Organized The Biology Club was organized late in the semester. The aim of the club is to popularize biology. The membership is restricted to those studying biology or to those who have had it. Subjects under discussion are those that are of particular interest to members of the class. The club adopted a constitution and held an elec- tion. The results of the election are as follows: president, Lela Bagozzig vice-president, William Herlingg secretary, Evelyn Hittingerg treasurer, Clara Henig. The adviser of the club is Miss Hamilton. Junior Girls' Glee Club The Junior Girls' Glee Club has met this semes- ter daily during the sixth hour for practice. The main pieces of their work this term were: The May Song , Hope Carol , and Star1rif Night'f. These were sung very nicely at The ay Festi- val , which was held on May 9, 1928, at Cass Technical High School. Page Twenty-Ona Midgets In Action The Midget Club has been kept busy this semester per- forming various duties. The choice of a faculty adviser was the first important problem of the club. Mr. Dolan was selected to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Lynch, former faculty adviser. The boys appreciate Mr. Dolan's willingness to work with them. The Midgets soon started a membership campaign. which ended with five new members. A rough initiation was the lot of these fortunate boys, they survived to be- come full-fledged members. Following the initiation there was a party at the home of one of the members. All enjoyed themselves immense- ly: the only disadvantage was that it ended too soon. The latest project of the Midgets was the installation of mirrors in the boys' lavatory. They also furnished four mirrors for the boys' locker room. The following officers were appointed as a result of the election: Paul Dinger, president, James Price, vice- presidentg Alfred Farber, secretary and reporter, and Bill Adderly, treasurer fsucceeded by Alex Golandaj. Auditorium Classes Busy The semester in the auditorium has been devoted primarily to plays, although the first part of the term was given over to special reports. These reports were on sub- jects investigated in the library, during auditorium class- timeg each student was given one period. The plays studied were: Tom's Gar- den, an Arbor Day play, by 7A-1 and 7A-3, The Enchanted Garden, a May play, by 7A-II and TA-IVQ The Stolen Prince, 8A-II and SA-IV, How Sleep the Brave, Decoration Day, 8A-II and 8A-IVQ The Blue Wigwam, SB-5-6-7-85 In the Green-Wood, 8A-1-33 Dick Whit- tington, an elaborate pantomime, 8A-VI and 8A-VIII, Daniel Boone, 8A-1 and 8A-3g The Boston Tea Party, 8A-5 and 8A-7g The Ceremonial of the Flag, SB- VI and 8B-VIII, Treasure Island fScene IJ, 8B-1 and 8B-3. As a culmination to their special li- brary reports on the subject of artists, the SB-II and 8B-IV gave an interest- ing slide lesson, using pictures painted by the artists whom they had studied. In addition to the plays, a few poems and speeches were studied, usually for . T. D. C. Produce Two Plays ' i l - mia The Thespian Dramatic Club, consisting of eight, ninth and tenth grade girls, have done remarkable work during the past semester under the able leadership of Ruth Leonard, president. Phyllis Gardner and Gertrude Voellmig acted as secretaries during the past year. The club has been working on two plays, Sylvia's Aunts and The Toy Shop , which are soon to be pre- sented in the auditorium. The girls have also succeeded in getting attractive pins this semester. In Caesar's Camp The purpose of the Latin Club is to bring into a friend- ly social contact all who are interested in the study of Latin. As was predicted in the winter Pictorial, Castra Caesaris, the Camp of Caesar, has enjoyed a very delight- ful year of club activities. It has acquired a prominent position among school organizations. Applications for membership numbered close to one hundred with the second initiation of the year. Since the membership of the club was limited to fifty members, the qualifications of the candidates are unusually high, with scholarship the leading requisite. The February initiation, in which eighteen new members were admitted to the club, was only the beginning of a pleasant semester of interesting activities. A banquet at Southwestern was the first social function for the club. A Bonstelle Theatre party for some fifty members was given on May 5. Several other delightful social gatherings were undertakings of the club. Officers are: Frank Taylor, president, William Voell- mig, vice-president, Clara Knitli, secretary, Ruth Uhle- man, treasurer. Miss Walsh is faculty advisor of the club. such special day programs as Arbor Day, Decoration Day, and Flag Day. Page TIl'l'H.fj!-T100 Castra Caesaris Science Club Admits Girls Believing that many girls as well as boys are inter- ested in science, the Science Club has this year opened membership to girls of Nordstrum and Southwestern. Taking an active part in the club, the girls have put on several interesting programs. Reports and demonstra- tions have also engaged the attention of the club. Science Club The club was formed in January, 1927, as Nordstrum Junior Chemists. It was renamed the Science Club in the fall of 1927. During the past year, meetings have been held every two weeks, while boys and girls alter- nated in taking charge. Ofiicers are President, George Weiss, Vice-President and Chemist, Hubert Knochg Secretary and Reporter, Peter Szlukg Assistant Chemist, Stephen Eberle. Members are Bonnie Smith. Jane Melms, Martha Young, Mildred Boone, Dorothy Halligan, Thelma Childs, Marion Kalin, Marion Stow, Maxine Miepoth, Margaret Borsodi, George Weiss, Peter Szluk, Virgil Wilton, John Greene, Stephen Kuzma, Charles Chene, Sheldon Knoch, Stephen Eberle, Hubert Knoch, Kenneth Himes, Bennie Gruenfeldt, and Daniel Grush. Miss Rosenberg and Mr. Yeatter are faculty advisers. Juniors Honor Guests The Junior Boys' Glee Club has closed the past semes- ter with honors, having participated in the May Festival at which they sang Old Black Joe , a southern melody, and Mareanina,', with a combined mixed chorus of the Junior Girls' Glee Club. They also sang for the National Bankers' Association at the new Masonic Temple. The boys were ,guests at luncheon as a tribute to their singing. The boys have made an impressive appearance in their white trousers, shirts, and black bow ties. There are thirty-three Nordstrum students in the Glee Club. Domecons Enjoy Banquet The social calendar of the Domecon Club this year in- cluded many notable events such as the pleasant and profitable trip to the Detroit Creamery and the Mother and Daughter banquet on May 9. This date was the gala day of the club when mothers and daughters ate and made merry. Another social activity was the Bunco party Domecon Club given by Katherine Beauvais at her home. The Domecon girls were her guests. This term, ten new students were invited to join the club. After a difficult but comical initiation, which was later appeased with delicious refreshments, the girls be- came full-fledged members. Those initiated were Ethel Tuchelski, Wylie Conklin, Loraine Perry, Mildred Phil- lips, Helen Vincent, Vera Benn, and Elizabeth Martin. Only girls who have had at least one term of cooking are eligible. At the first meeting of the club the following oflicers were elected: president, Coryl King: vice-president, Mil- dred Ray, secretary, Katherine Beauvaisg treasurer, Viola Schlack. The club will readily assert that a great part of the credit for the successful outcome of all of their ventures belongs almost wholly to their different advisers, Miss Parke and Miss Lauer. E. H. R. Sells Candy fContinued from Page 20.1 Chocolate bars were sold, to enlarge the treasury for the new members, who will carry on the work of the club in September. The officers of this club are: June Marie Rust, Presi- dent, Irene Rosensweig, Vice-President, Elsie Osborne, Corresponding Secretary, Elva Strong, Treasurer, and Leonora Corsini, Secretary. The advisers of the club are Miss Becker and Mrs. Wilson. Service Club Sets New Record The Service Club has found great improve- ment in the conduct of the students of South- western. In fact, there have been very few complaints of the mis- conduct of students in the halls. The school is proud of the record. for it is an evident sign that Southwest- ern students are capa- ble of taking care of themselves. This semester the boys and girls of the Service Club have en- joyed many affairs. The girls initiated the new girls at a pot-luck supper. Later in the season, the entire club enjoyed a dance, to which their friends were also invited. All had a jolly good time. Lieutenant Yeager was greatly pleased with the co-operation extended by the stu- dent body and mem- bers of the club. He appreciates their aid very much.

In May the Club en- joyed a pot-luck sup- per followed by a the- atre party at the Hol- lywood Theater. Members of the Club and the German class- es contributed many interesting articles to the all-city language exhibition at the Chil- r' dren's Museum. Gluck Auf Verein tained the other lan- guage clubs of the school at a lovely party in the gym. Guests were entertained with g a m e s and stuntsg l a t e r refreshments were served. The Club was or- ganized to create an interest in the German language and German literature among the students.

Junior Girl Reserves The Grace Dodge Chapter of the Girl Reserves in Nordstrum has continued its many activities this term. I . 1 Many new girls have been added this year to the mem- bership list. At the semi-annual Girl Reserve luncheon, they won the poster contest. For service work they have served at two banquets. At the semi-annual Honor Court, many different honors were awarded. Gertrude Symansky and Alice Kanoc are the first girls from this chapter to receive pendants. The club officers for next semester are: President, Lucille Ewing, Vice-president, Margaret Funkg Secre- tary, Virginia Riopelle, Treasurer, Helen Kerekesg and song leader, Mary Hutton. The advisers are Miss Blue and Miss McComb. Musicians Have Busy Term The Uke Club began the new year with the addition of fifteen new members to complete the roll of twenty-four musicians. Their appointed leaders were June Rust, President, Katherine Langshere, Secretary and Treas- urer. The members were busy this semester entertaining at programs scheduled by the school. They played at the Parent-Teacher Association assem- bly, February 14. Some of the favorite numbers were Blue Heaven and Maybe She'll Be My Valentine. All members wore bright valentine headdress. Mass meetings were the chief delight of the players and they pepped up the meetings with their lively music. On February 28, the uke members were present at the mass meeting held in honor of the Prospector. Their ability has been well recognized. They have shown improved skill. It may be said that much of their progress has been due to their able coach, Miss Green. Attendance Produces Thrills Nordstrum has had many thrills watching the race track this semester. Dusenbergs, Fords, Lincolns, and Chevrolets have been racing up the mountainside track of attendance, each trying to win the banner Best At- tendance which waved at the peak. Once each month honors were claimed for the boys' and the girls' groups which ranked highest. At the close of February, Miss Trizisky's girls and Mr. Chynoweth's boys were the win- ners. In March, Miss Hett's and Mrs. Charles' groups won the race, and in April, Miss Caplan's and Mrs. Kruke ......... 12 Hett ............ 2 Rosenberg... 6 Gildner ...... 11 Trizisky ..... 1 Cansfield .... 10 McComb ..... 9 Girard ........

It is there- fore safe to say that the popularity of the orches- tra has been great this term. They have participated in P. T. A. open house meeting. in night school commencement exercises, and recently in senior mass meeting. The com- mencement exercises will be the crowning event. An outstanding appearance was at the senior play. where Ohio State and Wisconsin songs were played in harmony with the collegiate air of the play. The Symphonic Tchaikowsky Suite will be en- joyed at the graduation exercises. Seven members represented Southwestern in the all-city orchestra. and there were two repre- sentatives in the all-state organization. There are twenty-three members in the local orchestra un- P der the direction of Miss Snelling and Miss Knoob, accompanist. These are: Amphion Sheldon, Steve Lucas. Benny Kindig, Ross Holland, Margaret Farkas, Lillie Vas, Margaret Suhapiter, Lorraine Newton. Roland Kneiding, Joe Wash, Hymen Weiss, James Moss, George Miller. Joe Such. Bela Marosi, Lawrence Nestan. Bela Blatnik, Steve Blatnik, Nick Kuzma, and Bondy Luber. Band Prefers Classical Numbers Under the direction of Mr. Paul Weiland, the band has progressed during the past semester. The band is com- posed of two units. In the first hour there are twenty members, and in the second hour band the membership has increased from twenty to twenty-four. There are eight represented in the All-City Band from Southwestern. This year the band has played more classical music than ever before. They played at the R. O. T. CY field meet in competition with other to the ll. T. A. open-house meeting. They have also entertained at various high Eiouthwestern and Nordstrum students, who are: John Lovernovick. Gezca Pasternak, Eugene Petoskey. James Price, George Weiss. Glenn White.

'i W' Senior Glee Attends Festival Twenty-nine girls of the Senior Glee Club zlttended the May Fes- tival at the Cass audi- torium on May 11, 1928. The festival proved a huge success, judg- ing by the audience. This was due to the co- l operation of the stu- l dents and the direc- tion ot' Mr. Searle. Some of the songs w e r e recorded, and phonograph re cords will be for sale at the leading music stores. Southwestern made a very good showing with their J u n i o r Band, to whose music the audience gave en- thusiastic approval. Page 7'1cenfy-l 1'rc high school bands. They contributed real vigor schiol occasions. The band is composed ot' French Club Increases Membership Jr. S. C. Has High Scholarship c The Junior Service Club has been one of the Many changes have taken place in the regulations of the Cercle Francais this semester. The usual day of meet- ing was changed from Monday to Tuesday, and the eligi- bility rule of two years of French for membership was changed to one year. A membership drive was held with a result of forty- three new students. The new members were given a social -welcome, April 17. There were delightful recitations by Louise Kaelin and Gertrude Symanski for their pleasure. A definite program, planned at the beginning of the semester, was closely followed. There was a business meeting one month and a social hour the next. Refresh- ments and entertainment enlivened each soc-ial gathering. Due to the large amount of business, it was necessary to elect a corresponding secretary. Lela Bagozzi was chosen to fill the ofiice. She proved very efficient. The other faithful ofiicers are: president, Leonora Corsinig vice- president, Anna Kovacs, secretary, Arthur Plots, and treasurer, Dorothy Ritchie. The club was very glad to have a large number of new members, for three officers and many other members will be lost through graduation. A senior farewell given in June closed one of the most active semesters since the club's beginning. Warbelow Leads R. O. T. C. Unit The Southwestern R. O. T. C. spent a busy season pre- paring for the annual field meet. This year the meet was held on May 29. The R. O. T. C. can boast of a good wall- scaling team and a very good arm-stacking squad. The organization this year consisted of seventy mem- bers. While this number seems large, it can be made still larger and it is hoped that next year will see more boys turn out for the R. O. T. C. The rifle team is fortunate in having a number of good marksmen this year. Among them are Roy Lockeman, Victor Floyd, George Reynolds, Robert Harcourt, and Joseph Jackson. The maid of honor for the field meet was Marion Smith, and the sponsors, Ann Jackson and Arlene McMillan. most active clubs in the school. The meetings are held after every card marking. Members having two or more D's on their cards are dropped from active duty. The scholastic standing of the club was very high this year. The club elects new officers each semester, and during the meetings complaints and sug- gestions are considered. As the club progresses, it becomes of more value to the school. And it attributes its suc- cess to the help it receives from Miss Spencer and the student body. The following are members of the club: Gladys Shel- key, Henry Reeves, Lillian Babas, Helen Gardner, Pauline Spice, Helen Apach, Marion Stowe, Dorothy Halligan. Hilda Nagy, Charles Langley, Katherine Turga, Anna Smitka, Bondy Luber, Walter Post, Frank Schwed, Glenn Smoot, Fred Kreidl, Frank Eisele. The officers are: Gladys Shelkey, President, Henry Reeves, Vice-Presi- dent, Lillian Babas. Secretary. E. H. R. Remodels Clinic The greatest work of the Ellen H. Richards Club was the remodeling of the clinic this semester. Through the help of Miss Becker, the clinic has been changed from a somewhat gloomy to a delightful and pleasant little room. The girls also had a pot-luck supper at the beginning of the term, with Miss Amberson as guest. Several speakers entertained the girlsg among them was Miss Hamilton. She gave an interesting talk on the history of Michigan, and a description of the great ice- bergs and glaciers that at one time covered the whole continent. Page Twenty-Sire ON THE DIAMOND Two Veterans On Team Southwestern's 1928 baseball squad is un- fortunately lodged in last place in the city league. This year's t e a m was composed mostly of green m e n, who were badly in need of experience. Only two veterans, Harris and Taylor. g a v e a full year of service. The team was al so hit heavily by the eligibil- ity rule. Several play- ers were forced to leave because of their marks. Despite th e disas- trous s ea son, the crowds at the games were larger t h a n in many years past. Sea- son buttons were sold for twenty-five cents! every loyal Prospector bought one and sup- ported the team. On April 26, South- D I western officially opened its baseball season by receiving the worst defeat in the school's history at the hands of Highland Park. The final score was 22 to 6. Quiring and Harris did the chucking for the Prospectors, and their offerings were hit freely. Northwestern, the next to drub the Prospectors. sent them to defeat by a 10 to 2 count, May 4, at Northwestern field. The following Fri- day, Redford played Southwestern. After a hard struggle, the Grand River players came out victorious by a 9 to 6 score. By scoring five runs in the second i n n i n g, the Prospectors seemed to be well on their way to victory. But Red- ford tightened up and Southwestern did not score again until the seventh, w h i l e Red- ford had safely tuck- ed the game away. After two postpone- ments. Western faced the Prospectors. When a Prospector and a Cowboy team clash, a hard struggle is usu- ally the result. This was not true on this occasion. W e s t er Il buried the Prospectors under a 13 to 2 count, Tuesday, May 22. Two days later, Southwestern dropped a game to Cass by a 12 to 2 score. Thompson, pitching his first league game, did well, but his supporting cast crumpled behind him and defeat was the inevitable result. Juniors Win Six Straight Games Starting out to set the Western League afire, the Nordstrum baseball team won their first six games straight by overwheming scores, but Munger checked them in their seventh game by a 7 to 2 verdict. The cause for this de- feat was inability to hit in pinches. The next week they went after Hutchins' scalp and brought it home, but not without a hard game. Hutchins kept the score tied all through the contest, but Nordstrum spurted in the last inning and won by the score of 8 to 7. Then came the Jefferson game, which would tell whether or not Nordstrum would have a chance for the city championship. Starting out to effect a massacre, Jederson made five runs in the first. Then the Jefferson pitcher went Wild and issued pass after pass. Before many innings had passed. Nordstrum had five runs and Jefferson had eight. But Jefferson had a hard-hitting com- bination that secured three more runs, while the Nordstrum batters could only make two. This game left Jefferson the Western League cham- pion. Nordstrum was invited to play at Navin Field during the season and they showed their appreciation of this offer by beating Hamtramck, 6 to 3. The boys feel perfectly at home on Navin Field, because this is the second year in succession that a Nordstrum team has won there. Page Tzccnly-Scrcn s- .B ON THE TRACK Demchak, the high- point scorer of South- weste rn girls' track team, never failed to place first in the broad jump. She scored about twenty points through- out the season. The relay team, con- sis t i n g of McMillan, Dittman, and Szabo, was the other mainstay of the squad. They succeeded in placing first in all meets but one. Upon meeting the Fal- zons, on April 24, in Girls, Track Team our back yard , the Prospectors defeated the visitors, 39 1-2 to 19 1-2. May 1, Western also met defeat at the hands of the gold-diggers with a score of 36 to 23. On May 8, Southwest- ern was defeated by the Huskies, 39 to 32. May 22, the Prospec- tors saddled the Colts, 38 to 33. From all appearances, this season's team is stronger than last sea- son's and should again capture the cup. Indoor Tracksters Lose Veterans Indoor Track Team Manuik Leads Outdoor Trackmen All of the boys' outdoor track meets were held on the Southwestern Field. Great credit is due to Charles Manuik, who won a first place in the broad jump, his favorite in all the meets he took part in. On April 20, in a triangular meet between Redford, Eastern, and Southwestern, in our backyard , the Black and Orange squad won. The Blue and Gold points were made by Manuik, who scored six. and Sansom, whose tally was five in the pole vault. Northwestern defeated Western and Southwestern in a triangular meet Thursday, April 26,at Southwestern. The Blue and Gold tracksters did not win a point till Charles Manuik came out first in the broad jump, with a distance of 19 feet. In their last meet of the year, against U. of D. High, Friday, May 4, on the same track, the Blue and Gold squad was nosed out by a 58 to 64 score. U. of D. won the relay, the last and the decisive event of the meet. Page Twenty-Eight Next season Coach Strohmer hopes that more fellows will come out for the indoor track team, when the call is sounded. All fellows who are physically fit should come out for the squad, for they never know what they can do. The Blue and Gold tracksters journeyed to Southeast- ern, only to be swamped in a dual meet, January 14. Kidle in the shot, Sansom with pole vault, and Manuik in the 220-yard dash were the Prospectors to win first places. This was Kidle's last meet, for he was lost to the team through graduation. The Cowboys handed the Prospectors their second de- feat of the season, February 3. The Blue and Gold rep- resentatives scored a first place in the pole vault through the work of Kenneth Sansom. On February 10, Northeastern defeated the Prospectors by a small margin. Beatty and Snowden were the causes of the Prospector defeat, for both scored heavily in the dashes. Outdoor Track Team Cagers Enter State Finals Prospector Baslaeteers SOUTHWESTERN 21, WESTERN 20. For the third consecutive year, the Southwestern quin- tet has defeated the Cowboys. This time it was a last- minute rally, which won for the Prospectors by one point. SOUTHWESTERN 24, CASS 20. After trailing by two points all the second half, except the last few minutes in which the Prospectors scored three baskets in rapid succession, the home team Won by a four-point margin, Friday, February 17, in the Mechanics' gym. CITY COLLEGE FROSH 25, SOUTHWESTERN 36. In a non-league affair which was played in Southwest- ern's gym, Friday, February 24, the Prospectors were too good for the Frosh . SOUTHWESTERN 24, CENTRAL 21. On Friday, March 2, the Prospectors journeyed to Lin- wood and Tuxedo to hand the Trailblazers another de- feat, but they were forced to go the limit to do so. This victory granted the Blue and Gold five the right to meet Hamtramck to decide the third Detroit team to enter the state tournament. SOUTHWESTERN 32, HAMTRAMCK 30. In the elimination game, the Prospectors nosed out the Cosmos, by two points, in one of the best-played games at the Olympia, Friday, March 9. SOUTHWESTERN 22, NORTHERN 18. The Blue and Gold quintet defeated the Eskimos, Thursday, March 15, in the first round of the state tourna- ment. Eddie Bator's shooting and Captain Miller's close guard prevented All City Harold Greene of Northern from getting more than two field baskets. JACKSON 28, SOUTHWESTERN 11. In the semi-final round of the state tournament, the Blue and Gold players found Jackson and were badly de- feated by the Prison city five, Friday, March 16. The Southwestern quintet ended the season as runner-up in the city loop. Ten games were won through the efforts of the boys, with only two setbacks. The two defeats were handed to them by Northwestern, city and state champions, and Jackson, runner-up to Northwestern for state championship. These were the only two teams to stop the Prospectors in league competition. SOUTHWESTERN 41, ALUMNI 30. The Blue and Gold quintet won against the alumni, whom they defeated by a wide margin on the home floor, January 6. NORTHERN 30. SOUTHWESTERN 22.1 On January 13, Southwestern met defeat at the hands of the Eskimos, who were the leaders of the east side loop. The game was played on Northern's court. SOUTHWESTERN 24, HIGHLAND PARK 19. The Prospectors ofiicially opened the season - when they defeated the Polar Bears in the last few minutes of play. Ability to count from the foul line by Captain Joe Major was a great help . towards the Blue and Gold victory over the op- ponents. NORTHWESTERN 37, SOUTHWESTERN 17. The Colts handed the Fort Street team its worst and only league defeat at Northwestern, Friday, January 27. The Grand River quintet proved too strong for the Pros- pectors in the first half, but Southwestern outscored them the second half of the game. SOUTHWESTERN 30, REDFORD 15 Although without the services of Joseph Major, the Blue and Gold players, Linder the leadership of George Miller, defeated the Huskies on Friday, Feb1'uary 3. Girl Reserves Busy fContinued from Page Twentyj Fifteen girls from Southwestern attended the Girl Reserve all-city banquet on March 17. Each school rep- resented a foreign country where there are Girl Reserve Clubs. Southwestern represented Hungary. The girls displayed some beautiful Hungarian pictures which were lent to the club by Mrs. Czap. The Hi-Y boys entertained the Girl Reserves at a danc- ing party on April 19. Miss Gene Carrel was the hostess of the girls on April 25, when they had a hike starting from her home in Trenton. The club entertained their mothers at the annual Mother and Daughter tea on May 9. The election of ofiicers, senior farewell, and installation of officers com- pleted the cycle for the semester. The Prospector staff regrets that Mrs. Wilson's group honor roll for the third marking was omitted from the issue of May 24. The girls on the honor roll are: Virginia Avey, Vera Benn, Dorothea Harms, Clara Knitli, Mildred Milatz, Lorene New- ton. Mable Scamp, Eva Schenk, Mable Sholtz, Anna Steffier, Margaret Steffier, Anna Sukenik, Dorothy Weiss, and Lucille Rugg. - Page Twenty-N'ine Girls Take Five Out of Seven Nordstrum Girl Sluggers Junior Team Finishes Third The Nordstrum basketball team had a fair season, winning five games and losing three to finish third in the league race. The team never gave up hope when they were losing, and they often won their games in the last quarter. After their city championship hopes were blasted, they played a practice game with Sherrard, the east side champions Qlater city championsj and gave the Sherrard boys more practice than they were expect- ing. Nordstrum won the game 14 to 11. The team was not noted for its stars but for its teamwork. They had a short passing attack which caused their opponents much worry, and when it came to defensive work, they were just as good. The game that Nordstrum wanted most to win and the one they didn't was the Neinas contest. The Purple and Gold boys were equally eager to trim their rivals. The game was a fight all the way through. The teams kept the score tied until the last quarter, when the Neinas boys forged ahead and won the game 18 to 17. 4 Junior Basketeers Mr. Strohmer hopes that more players will come out for golf next year. The game is getting more popular every day and it won't be long till it may be counted as a major sport. Page Thirty The Nordstrum girls, baseball team won five out of the seven games played. This makes a prosperous looking team for next year. Although only three girls were back from last year's squad, the new members worked hard. There will be twenty eighth grade girls back next semester, most of whom have had experience in class or intramural games. Irma Csekel, Olga Fritn, Mary Jane Hurbusky, Maude Cleveland, and Beatrice Aiken, ninth-graders, will not be with the team next season. Margaret Barsodi. catcher and captain, deserves special credit for her playing and leadership throughout the games played. The scores of the games are: Nordstrum 12, Hunter 53 Nordstrum 1, Condon 83 Nordstrum 14, Neinas 75 Nord- strum 12, Durfee 8, Nordstrum 2, Munger 33 Nordstrum 11, Hutchins 103 Nordstrum 6, Jefferson 4.

Yeager. GIRL BASKETEERS WIN TWO BATTLES Girls' Basketball Squad The Prospector girl basketeers have closed a fairly successful season under the capable leadership of Miss Helen Cansfield, coach, and Captain Margaret Shopkin. There were about twenty girls on the squad this year, with three veterans, Margaret Shopkin, guard, Phyllis Rago, center, and Viola Schlack, side-center. A group of girls from the junior team completed the squad. The following girls were on the varsity squad: Shop- kin and Demchak, guards, Rago, centerg Schlack and Kaelin, side-centersg Szabo and Goodenow, forwards. Two games were won and one tied out of six. Szabo was the high point scorer of the season. Racketeers Win One Game The Southwestern tennis team has enjoyed rather an indifferent season, losing two contests and winning one. All the home games were played at the Boulevard docks. The Blue and Gold racketeers had to build their team around two veterans, Sargenti and Captain Clifton Capen, who did the best playing throughout the season. The more experienced Polar Bear racketeers were too much for the Fort St. representatives. The match was played at the Boulevard docks, Friday, April 27. Northwestern 5, Southwestern 0. The Prospectors were again given a goose egg to con- tent with when they were defeated by the Colt squad at Northwestern Courts, Friday, May 4. Redford 0, Southwestern 5. On May 11, the Blue and Gold team gave the Redford racketeers a shut out at the Boulevard. All Southwest- ern players played a good game. Tennis Games Postponed Southwestern girls' tennis team had only three games on their schedule this season. The team had all games postponed on account of rain and the condition of the courts. The team was composed of the following girls: Norma Heddle, Peggy Czap, Edna Kirsten, Clara Henig, Helen Henig, Olga David, Bessie Hopkins, Elanore Diedrich. In the first game of the season the team lost to Red- ford, on May 23. The scores: Doubles-QSWJ 6 to 4, QRFD 6 to 2, QSWJ 6 to 4. CRFJ 7 to 5, 6 to 3. The third set of doubles was won by QSWJ. Singles-QRFD 6to0,6to 1. QRFJ 6to1,6to4. Meeting Western in the Cowboys' gym on Janu- ary 19, the girls went down to defeat after a hard fought battle. Highland Park was the next sextet to whom the team bowed. The game was played in the Gold- diggers' gym on January 26. When the Prospectors next met Commerce on the Maroon and Grey floor, it looked doubtful for the home team. In the third quarter, Southwestern spurted to the lead, but through some inaccurate play the Auditors regained the lead, ending the fray with a total of 16 to 18. The Blue and Gold team received their first vic- tory when they met with Redford in the Southwest- ern gym, February 9. The Huskies tried hard to get the leather, but without success. They went down to a defeat of 26 to 9. When the girls went to Central, they tied the game with a score of 22 to 22. Szabo was knocked out in the first part of the game. It was not until she came back that the team ralliedg then it was Central's turn to tag. This they did, until the end of the fourth quarter, when they rang up two baskets for a tie. The last game of the season was played with North- western on the home floor. Goodenow, Rago, and Dem- chak had to be taken out of the game on account of injuries, but they soon recovered and were put back into play. The game ended with the Prospectors trailing the Colts. Mermaids in City Meet Harriet Hull, Fern Johnson, and Anna Miglin began the year for the girls' swimming team with single honors. This year the team had only three meets with other schools, namely: Northwestern, Western, and Redford. Due to the fact that Northwestern tied for city cham- pionship, and that the Prospectors had no senior swim- mers, the coach, Miss Yocum, believes the girls did very well. Senior swimmers are those who have won a place in an A. A. U. meet or a national championship meet. Many of the girls were entered in the preliminaries for the city meet in which all Detroit and surrounding high schools compete, but only two placed in the final meet, Harriet Hull placed in the 50 yard back-stroke, and Katherine Nason secu1'ed second and third places in the 25 yard and 50 yard crawl respectively. Pictures of the relay team and Harriet Hull were in the Detroit Times sport section. The relay team was composed of Phyllis Gardner, Katherine Nason, Betty' Giauque, and Helen Henig. Golf Popular Sport At least one thing was accomplished by the golfcrs- they improved their play considerably. And that is quite an accomplishment for that sort of a team. For this game is not like baseball or football where one may make a large enough improve- ment to make the next year's team. One can only excel in golf after years and years of prac- tice.

Full of adventure that morn- ing and rather peeved at the chill in the air which pre- vented me from going in swimming, a dashing thought entered my mind. I decided to inspect this so-called haunted house . The sun peeked in through the lattice to disclose rooms were laid out in beautiful French style. All around were scattered shavings, chips, shingles, and broken halves of bricks. A broken picture was on the wall. Curious to see whether or not it was hand painted, I drew closer and touched it. I touched the frame, Having read many mystery Q but before I had time to catch books dealing with haunted Z - x :yf it, the picture-dropped on the houses, I anticipated a great gf 42 'lf floor.

Noticing these things. I walked through the door- way and entered the Gothic archway of the hall. The room in which I found myself was large and lofty. Long, narrow, and pointed, the windows were at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. It was interesting to find a few dark draperies hung upon the walls. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over the massive house. Sheets of music were found scattered on the floor revealing that the former owner had been more or less interested in music. Rachmaninoff was barely visible on the corner of one. I must have been deeply interested in the strange scenery, for as I stopped to look out the nich in the glazed window I heard a strange noise. Until this time everything was in deepest silence. Every foot- step re-echoed in the empty house. A sudden fear clutched my heart. For a minute I was stunned and then sorry that I had ventured into this de- serted place. After I had gained courage to look about me, my eyes gazed upon the ceiling. There in the most eastern nook of the ceiling were a woodpecker and its mate plucking away at the decayed molding. They were a peaceful family, and they had used wisdom in the choice location of their home. One may be sure they were rarely disturbed. Part of the wall had caved ing and due to the force of an old tree, it had worked its way through the big cracks of the caved wall. Here the birds found a peaceful nest. With the exception of a few leaves, there was an empty book case in the next room. This apparently was the library. A Dickens' cover was lying in one corner, and right next to that were a few pages of poetry. A thing of beauty is a joy forever , I read. The library led into the hall, where there was an old, dusty bust of Beethoven. It was surprising that one should leave such a piece of art without anyone to admire. I gazed into the stern yet kindly face of the great master and thought of Lucille Chalfant who had become famous after her unceasing labor and had been greatly inspired by the mere bust of Beethoven. A long flight of stairs seemed to beckon for someone to tread on them. I therefore walked up slowly, to make sure that the steps were firm. They were black, but in some spots the beautiful oak peeked out and one could see that they were made of the best oakwood. l very things mentioned in books. I discovered that even though the bedroom was old and shabby, It must have had considerable care. The floors were covered with dust, but after picking up my hand- kerchief which I had dropped on the floor the spot became very glossy and glistened in the sun. I A narrow flight of stairs led from the east chamber into the lower hall. After I descended once more I gazed at Beethoven and then ran out into the yard. Dusting off the bench, I sat down with great relief. The exterior of the garage or probably combination stable and garage was built of the same material as the house. It was in very good condition. The owner prob- ably had a few horses, for there were two stalls on one side.. The hinges on the doors were so rusty that upon opening them a creaky, grinding sound was heard. A certain satisfaction mingled with a hearty appetite was sufficient to make the appearance of home enjoyable. Although my venture had not revealed hidden skeletons, I enJoyed a few hours of interest in this haunted house . - Here and There in France fContinued from Page Five.l Now, a few words concerning the stores of France. The other day I read a story giving the method of pro- cedure in pricing goods in France. This was illustrated by a cartoon which struck me as very funny. The proprietor of a French hat store was constantly on the for American purchasers. Immediately at the of one the prices in the windows underwent a alert sight swift and astonishing change. With a twist of the hand, the placards were turned showing a much higher price, but it is economical to dicker with the proprietor and endeavor to lessen the price. There's nothing like trying, and it's a lot of fun. This story may or may not be true. I would not like to verify it. Still, the stores of Paris are very interesting to see and on the whole they are cheaper in price than ours. The greatest difference between the wares of France and those of other countries is that the artistic work found upon them is unrivalled.
