St Clair High School - Clairvoyant Yearbook (St Clair, MI)

Page 16 text:

Lois Miles — Lois is a student devoted to the study of German. She was always interested in German characters and especially in one whose name is Fritz. Because of the extra Ann Arbor mail force we do not believe that she will be long esteemed as one of that class of highly respected ladies known as “school inarms.” Elenor Pearce — Elenor is an awful chatterbox. It is impossible for the students sitting around her (especially Myron and Gladys) to study when she is in the room. We do not like to criticise her, but often she has talked for one whole minute during a study period. Gladys Greening, “Grouch” — Gladys will move far from the circle of St. Clair girls and become a freshman at the U. of M. next September. We hope she will sail through college with the same good times she has experienced here at school. But, just as a word c)f advice, she ought not interrupt the deliberations of the classes by asking foolish questions. Burmah Wortz — Burmah was always our shining light in mathematics. We expect she will make a great hit in “Ypsi” with her high I-D ' s and “thereforeV’ in trigonometry. Lena Vories — What a class this would be without Lena ! Whenever there is anything artistic to be done, the cry is always, “Oh let Lena do it! She knows how to do everything!” So, here’s to her success as a school teacher! Mary Powrie — Mary is a very serious girl and unless a joke is really worth while she never wastes a laugh. Cheer up Mary as Browning says. “The Best is vet to come.” There was a girl called Mary Went strolling in February, Said Mary, quiet daring. Let’s call at the minister’s house But Chet answered, “Nichts komme aus.” — 14 —

Arthur Lively, “Skinny” — The largest and most popular president in high school is “Art” Lively. He is president of two of our greatest organi- zations, that is the S. C. H. S. Literary Society and the Senior Class, also captain of the football team. But that isn ' t all, for he owns a fine horse and rig and wins the teachers ' smiles by taking them for rides nearly every day, besides driving “Miles” every evening. Ruth Joachim — Position in life is everything with Ruth. Why should a tall girl enjoy the back seat of the study hall and a front seat in the Congregational church? Send answer to “The Breeze.” Myron Smith, “Bill” — Bill is a very quiet, bashful boy, but for your own sake do not get into any arguments with him, because he will de- feat you whether you are right or wrong. You would readily believe this if you had ever heard his debate for “The Cause of Woman Suffrage. ” Donna Mills — Donna has sung her w r ay into the hearts of her class- mates but what distance she did not sing she giggled. Chester Robertson, “Chet” — There always was some class to “Chet.” He will go to l’. of M. this fall and become an electrical engineer, then he will return to St. Clair and operate the lights on a Cadillac car. So, here is to his success! Ethel Douglass — Ethel is one of our brown-eyed girls who has spent most of her time this spring watching the boats passing up and down St. Clair river. With such a shy little miss on shore we wonder how the boat still carries Carey. Justin McCartney, “Jut.” — Among the musical members of our class Justin certain- ly stands in high rank. We readily believe that he could wind up a phonograph without serious injury to himself. “Jut.” is also an expert huntsman. One week he caught one an one-half rabbits a day on an average. If he had not told us this himself, w e would have had our doubts about the half a rabbit. — 13 —

Carl Bauman, “Shimmel” — Carl is the joker of our class. It seems funny that Cupid’s dart has not yet pierced the soul of such a jolly boy, hut he has often been seen casting sidelong glances at many a fair one, to see — , if the well-aimed paper wad had hit her, “Why Carl !” Grace Buggee — When for any occasion a poem, a composition, or an original idea is needed we call on Grace. It is her nature to work while the others play, to write while others sing, and if she does not like her portion, at least she does not let her companions know it. THE SENIORS, ACCORDING TO THE FACULTY Miss Buck: “Well, not one of you seniors will get a Christmas present of a mark with this quarter. Miss Woodward : “A senior is a patent device for wast- ing time.” Miss Tallmadge : “I always felt that I could expect more from the SENIORS. Miss Crittenden: “Well, it just seems to me that when people get to be seniors, they had ought to know something. Mr. Keen ' s opinion is, that the seniors are such fine peo- ple that he can not find words to express himself, so he says nothing at all. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1914 St. Clair high school has never yet been able to boast of such a class as we are. And why shouldn’t she boast Are we not fifteen in number? And were we not the first of junior classes to banquet the departing seniors? Then too, we introduced the class ring instead of the class pin which has been used every year since the founding of the school to the year 1914. Our girls were the first to wear Peter Thomp- son suits on Commencement night, and last and best we changed the order of the monotonous class day program held from year to year on Commencement night and had instead a lecture given by Rabbi Leo Franklin, of Detroit. — 15 —
