SOCIAL FOOTBALL DANCE AND BANQUET It was on the evening of April 21, 1922, when the foot- ball letter men enjoyed a hearty feed in the Diamond Crys- tal cafeteria. One of Michigan’s students, the track team captain, was the principal speaker. Later they were entertained by a dance in their honor at the City Hall with music furnished by Buck’s orchestra. All de- clared the evening well spent. JUNIOR SLEIGH-RIDE It was on a cold and blustery night when two sleigh loads left “Shippie’s” with Mr. and Mrs. Gearing as chap- erones. We finally reached our destination, which was the Gleaner Hall, after nearly having tipped over in several monstrous snow banks. After dancing to mus ic furnish- ed by different students we ate our lunch and struck the snow trail home at an early hour. JUNIOR-SENIOR The peppiest party that ever happened and the record of which will be handed down was given by the Juniors on October 28 , ’ 21 , at the City Hall. Dancing was enjoyed from 8:30 until 11:30, music be- ing furnished by Buck’s orchestra. The hall was gaily decorated with pumpkins, colored leaves and corn-stalks. The color scheme of orange and black was carried out in decorating the room and on our programs. Confetti and spiral caused great confusion from its appearance until the noisy participants trod homeward with weary steps. SENIOR-JUNIOR On the evening of January 14, ’22, the Seniors enter- tained the class of ’23 at a dance given in the City Hall. The music was furnished by the Marine City orchestra. Con- fetti was the main feature of the evening with moonlights and oh— those long robber fox-trots thrown in. Our teachers. Miss Johnston and Miss Stewart, acted as chaperones. At twelve o’clock the orchestra chimed “Home, Sweet Home” as the party broke up, all being sorry that the time had passed so quickly.

and musicals in the future and if equipment and room counts, as it surely does, the entertainments will be much better than those we have had. Many other advantages, too numerous to mention here, will come as a result of the new building, and St. Clair’s educational futu re sure seems bright. We who are to graduate are s ' orrv that we cannot en- joy the new surroundings that will mean so much toward a better education. Nevertheless, we hope that those who are the lucky ones will profit well and will make the most of their opportunity which we have chanced to miss. LAWRENCE POWERS.

The first day of school our captain, Joe Ebert, called a meeting of all those interested in football. It was de- cided to start practicing at once with Mr. Misenar as our coach. About eighteen came out the first night but a number of these quit within a week or two. We played two practice games with Marysville. The first ended in a (5 and 0 score in favor of Marysville. The second was entirely different. We beat them to the tune of 27 and 0. The next week we began our regular sched- ule, the first game being St. Stephens High at Port Huron
