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

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.

on Oct. 4. Because of the absence of our coach and some injuries the best we could do was to make it a tie game, 7 and 7. The next game was on Friday, Oct. 21, when we played Capac at home. This time everything went fine and we pulled down a 13 and 0 victory. 1 hen on Oct. 25 we went out of the County to Armada. Here we trounced our opponents, the score being 13 and 3. The next game was very hard fought against C roswell on Oct. 29. Every man did his best but we were defeated. On Nov. 4 our old rivals, Marine City, gave us a beating. The final score was 21 and 0. We are sure that there would have been a different score had we had practice. Our coach was too busy to be with us during the preceding week. The next week we were to have played Hani- tramck but because of bad weather the game was cancell- ed. On Nov. 18 South Western High School of Detroit came to St. Clair. Cowboys carried home a 25 to 0 vic- tory. Thanksgiving Day our Alumni came forth arrayed for battle. This was a hard game. Both teams threat ened to score but when the final whistle blew, which end ed the season, both teams were scoreless. On the 2nd of December a post-season game was played with Washington Tunior High School of Port Huron on our grounds. The game was a defeat for ash- ington, the score being 19-0. 1921 FOOTBALL LINE-UP Roy Stinson — L. E. foe Ebert (Captain) — L. T. Chas. Moore. Walter Muhlitner — L. G. Louis Durand — L. H. B.
