However it is essential that the class that does successfully accomplish the same tasks, he blessed as we have been by two characteristics, namely: “Lots of pep” and “the everlasting co-operation of every ‘bloomin’ ’ soul.” There is hardly a worldly task that this combination could not take and master.

THE CLARION 19 2 3 19 2 3 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 73 In 1919, there appeared in the educational garden of St. Clair High School, a small Oak that flourished so quickly that it soon had forty-five bright, healthy leaves. The trunk of the tree, Frank German, assisted by his Right Bough, Ralph Felton, ably furnished the sap of perseverance to enable Mother Nature’s creation to flourish wonderfully, and play a most important part in the life of the garden. The new plant was turned over to the wise and able horticulturist, Mr. Misenar, and his expert lanscape gardeners, chief of whom was Mr. Beecher. They trained the leaves in their first important knowledge, necessary to leave a mark of distinction to make this a more perfect garden. After ten months of training, in June, 1920, the Oak was again turned over to the care of Mother Nature. In September, 1920, when again the florists took charge, it was noticed that the customary greenish color had departed, and the plant had become slightly tinged, by past experience and training, to a brownish hue. It was evident that the sapling had been well cared for by Mother Nature, and that the weak had been pruned out, leaving the small tree with thirty-five boughs. They were led by Margaret Moore and her assistant, Ralph Felton, and the recorder of leaves and boughs, Tryon Maclvor. Even though in such early development, the sturdy little fellow received marked recognition by all members in the garden, for one of its members, Tryon Maclvor, was elected Boughs’ (boys’) Commissioner of the garden. Having weathered the hard winter, in June, 1921, it was again turned over to Mother Nature, as full of live as ever. In September, it was found that Mother Nature had again pruned and given good care to the much loved members of the garden, having sorted out six more of the boughs, though one had been one of our strongest intellectual members, whom everyone has greatly missed, not only by his fellow tree- mates, but by everyone in the garden, we perceived a new, fair and strong bough, Frances Shafer, had been wisely chosen and grafted into our now sturdy and stately Oak. Ralph Pelton was the trunk on which the many limbs rested with such grace and ease. This year Susan Burtless was his Right Bough, and Arnold Mittig recorder of leaves and boughs. The popularity of this strong intellectual member of the garden, was shown by the fact that the garden folks electing Tryon Maclvor, Business Manager of the garden ; Ralph Pelton, Boughs’ Commissioner; and Margaret Moore, Recorder; and each held his position honorably, as do all members from our Family Tree. In June, it was again left in charge of Mother Nature. As Father Time walked on, the change in September, 1922, was striking. The walls of the garden had been entirely reconstructed, presenting an appearance of wonderful architec- ture, far more wonderful than was ever dreamed of. Other changes were apparent. The Oak itself had changed. Ralph Pelton still carried the burden, assisted by Edna Hetherington, his Right Bough; Margaret Moore, Recorder, Page Tzventy-one Ill TH E CLARION 19 2 3 19 23 and Arnold Mittig, Business Manager. But that is not all. Tryon Maclvor was elected to lead the entire vegetation of the garden. He was assisted by Margaret Moore his Right Bough; Mary Allington, Recorder; and Arnold Mittig, Boughs’ Commisisoner. During the summer, one of the intellectual members of the 1 ree, ilma Scott, was taken from us and transplanted many miles from our garden. But this is not all ; the small sapling of four years ago had developed into a straight, mighty and majectic Oak. The former green leaves had turned to a rich gold, reflecting its brightness in every nook and corner of the garden, overawing, protecting and giving multitudes of good-will and advice to the younger plants. Here dwelled the prettiest birds and the wisest owls. And as the Master gazed upon this wonderful, hardy and majestic creation, He breathed, “Fit bene. Perfectus est.” It is well done. It is perfect. iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Page T we n ty - tzuo JUNIOR PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE As Juniors, we wish to congratulate the class of “23” for the tasks they have so faithfully accomplished and hope that we, as Seniors may carry on their work with the same faithfulness and spirit of co-operation as has been manifested in the present class, ever remembering that, The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night. JUNIOR OFFICERS Upper — Mrs. B. B. Maw, H. H. Beecher, Mrss Audrey Bird.

Worrying the teachers into a fit What they have accomplished with all their wit, Have you ever heard of that, 1 say, Twas nineteen hundred and nineteen. Long skirts at that time were seen, High topped shoes and no bobbed hair; Neither were flappers ever seen there. ’Twas this year of all years in the course of time That this Senior Class before you tonight Started as Freshies all afright. Now in High School I tell you what There is always somewhere a weakest spot In school house, faculty, student or spirit. Find it somewhere — ’twere it Even the Freshies with all their merit. And that’s the reason, beyond a doubt, That a school breaks down, but doesn’t wear out. But the professor swore (as professors do) With a ‘‘By George,” or an “I tell you;” He would build a school to beat the town In the county an’ country round; It should be so built that it couldn’t break down. “For,” says the professor, “’tis might plain “That the weakest place must stand the strain ; “And the way to fix it, as I maintain, is only jest “To make that place as strong as the rest.” So the prof set right in as profs all do And scoured the country for a contractor or two, To see if they could build a school That would stand and stand like a stubborn ol’ mule — Would never move and always stay firm. “Now,” he says, “they’ll have a place in which to learn About history, and physics, and all the rest, — By George, but that’s a cute little nest.” Illlt Page Twenty-eight 1 12 3 Hill trunuu T HE CL A R I O N 1 9 2 3 So now he looks for another weak spot, Just a little, but still ' tis a blot On a nice clean record of a perfect school To have in it one weak tool. And then, too, as I said before, The strain comes on the weakest score. The professor looks around him a bit To find a faculty that would just fit This high position in his perfect school, And, as you see, in picking them out He was not a fool. Now, to strengthen the other weak spot, The students, such an unruly lot, He looked them o ' er — glanced down the list To see if there were any he ' d missed. Counting the number of students he had, Now, on the whole, they ' re not so bad. But his feelings quickly began to revive When he saw those Freshies numbering forty-five A struggling and working with all their might To win their spurs as Sophomores, (Being the height of their ambition at this time), The professor tho ' t, as professors will, ' ‘Now they ' re working a little up hill. I’m going to make them my ideal students,” Now, just look at them— who wouldn ' t? So the prof has strengthened the weakest spots. Made them all of the same sized dots— That is to say — each as strong as the other And none stronger than t ' other; This was the way he put her through. “There,” said the professor, “now she’ll do.” And so with his class and his teachers, too, Why shouldn ' t you expect that the school Wouldn ' t break down, but would be the best In the country ' round. THE KICKER M. J. A. ’23. He kicked the moment he was born, with a stalwart lustry cry, He kicked and howled in babyhood ’till the neighbors tho’t they’d die ; He kicked when he first went to school, he kicked the nursemaid too, He kicked on how the games were played, yes, he kicked his whole life through. He kicked on how the chorus sang, though he couldn’t sing a note, He kicked on how election ran though he didn’t often vote, He kicked the bucket finally, and no one mourned you bet, And unless his legs are both burned off, he’s probably kicking yet. illlllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllUlllillM Page Twenty-nine iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHHimiiiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiuiiiiniiiiiH 1 92 3 THE CLARION 1923 FIFTEEN YEARS HENCE (a class prophecy.) Scene 1. (Scene laid in the future farm home of Lila Saunders) Lila: It’s about time for Frances to be coming. Ah, here she comes now. Frances: Hello — Is there anv mail? Lila: Yes, a letter and it ' s very important. Stop pulling that cat’s tail, Fred Junior, or I’ll spank you. • Frances (opens letter) : Why it’s from Margaret. Miss Frances Shafer. St. Clair, Mich. Dear Frances: — 1 he class of ’23 is to have a reunion in the Gymnasium of the High School, 7:30 P. M., Thursday, June 23, 1938. . My, my, — it doesn’t seem so long ago, but we are getting old. How the time does fly. Lila: Are you going? b ranees: Why, of course I’m going. I wouldn’t miss that reunion for any- thing. Lila: Well, then I will go too. I can put the children to bed before we go and let bred take care of them. Just think it’s been fifteen years since we sat together in assembly. Frances: Little did I think then that I’d ever be teaching out here in the Carleton School. Lila : And little did I think that you would board at my house. Frances: I wonder how many will be there, and what they all have been doing. Lila: I don’t suppose we will all be together. It would be nice — I’d love to see them all but it’s almost impossible. Frances: There’s Susan Burtless, for instance — way down in Africa. How in the world could she get here on such short notice? Lila: Yes, and another one is Arthur Smith. Do you suppose he can leave West Point? Frances: No, because the appointment is an honorable one and hard to get, anyway he was home just a short time ago. Lila: Have you ever heard anything about Myra Goodrich? Frances: All I know is that she fell in love with a widower that had four girls and five boys and a sheep ranch way out in the. North W r est, thirty miles from a railroad. Lila: She did? Where did she meet him? Frances: I don’t know. But I heard she answered an advertisement that appealed to her. Lila: Oh, is that how she became acquainted with him? iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page Thirty iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Illllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllll!llllllllllllll!i:illltlllt!lltltlllllllllllllllll!lllllllllliill 1 9 2 3 T II E C L A R I 0 N 1 9 2 3 Frances: She certainly got herself into a lot of work. You know her husband has nine children the youngest of whom is ten years old. They are all going to school so 1 suppose she won ' t be able to come. Lila: Yes — but did she know about the children until after they were married ? Frances: No, or she wouldn’t have married him. She used to say that she would never marry a man who had any children. Lila: Yes, she used to say that she wouldn’t have a widower, but I guess she thought he had some money. My, my, Fred is up from work. I must hurry and get supper. I have been thinking about the banquet ever since the mail man came and haven’t been attending to my work. Scene 2. (Scene laid in future home of Margaret Moore) Margaret (seated in a large chair by the window, looks out): Oh, there is the mail man and he is bringing me a letter. (Meets mail man at door, takes the letter, tears it open and reads.) Dear friend Margaret: — I regret very much to say that I will not be able to attend our class reunion, although I would be there if very urgent business did not compel me to remain in Paris. We are very busy with our work in selecting the summer styles. This job of being a fashion critic is not all play, I can tell you. How is everybody in St. Clair? Remember me to my old friends. Give my love to Fred and the children and keep plenty for yourself. As ever your friend, D. C. Waddell. Margaret: It’s about time for me to be hearing from some of the others. There’s the doorbell. 1 guess it must be callers. Scene 3. (Scene laid in High School Gymnasium) Edna H. : Now that we have all done justice to this repast, we will have a good time together and see how the world has been treating us since 1923. In the first place, our President and toastmaster, Dr. Ralph H. Pelton, who has a steady practice in Kentucky, wired the secretary that he could not be here, stating that a letter would follow. There are several who are unable to be with us to-night. We will now have the roll call, using the names we had in 1923, and as your name is called, each one will answer by giving his or her business and address, those not present, the secretary will tell if she has heard from them. Margaret : Mary Allington. Mary A.: Well, I hardly know what to call my occupation. Francis Bacon, in his essay on Discourse, says: “Speech of a man’s self ought to be seldom and well chosen.” But, I’m a woman so perhaps it is permissible. My home is almost anywhere as is the case with most Politicians. I am not supposed to electioneer to-night, but it will he sufficient to say that I’m a candidate for liiiiiiiiiiiiiniii Page Thirty-one 19 2 3 T H E C L A R I 0 X 1 923 the Michigan State Legislature for the Seventh District. If you live in that district I would be glad to receive your support at the poles. Margaret: Henry Brenner. Henry : I am working on the St. Lawrence Waterway as civil engineer. It is very fascinating work and the air is invigorating, so it makes one feel like working all the time. In fact I prefer working to sleeping anyway. I like my work so much better than I imagined I would. Margaret : Helen Burke. Helen : My home is in Detroit. Not particularly on any one street except wherever mv work takes me. My occupation is driving a taxi in opposition to the street cars or perhaps 1 should say assisting them, for we have more calls than we can fill. Margaret : Susan Burtless. Susan: Well, I certainly didn ' t expect to be here. I don’t think there is any need for me to tell that I am a missionary in Africa. I wish I could be here but I knew there was no use thinking of it so I gave up all hope. One day while teaching a class in the mission school, the girls became startled and we rushed out to see the “big bird,” that was making such a terriffic noise. The bird” fell as if it had been shot. hen we tried to see where it was, we were met by Kenneth Chamberlin, whose airplane engine had gone dead. Well, I’m here and afraid that I’ve said it all and not left anything for Kenneth to say. Margaret: Well, Susan, we are all. glad that you could come. Now Kenneth Chamberlin. Kenneth : Ah, Susan has said it all. Margaret: Edward Chase. Edward: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m glad to be here to-night. I assure you that I enjoyed the feed. As you all know I am professor of Mathematics in the U. of M. But, I find more pleasure in teaching Geometrv than any of the other branches of Mathematics. I have Mr. Fairman to thank for what I am to-day. I could not have taken up a more desirable profession. As for Orville he sends word that he regrets very much that the Olympic Games prevent his coming as he is now on a diet for the occasion. Margaret : Percy Fairfield. Percy: Well, people, I am mighty glad to be here to-night. Especially to sit down at this table, for after being floor walker in the Ladies Department in Hudson’s for fifteen years you know how to appreciate a chair. Margaret : Myra Goodrich. W T e regret very much that she is not present. Edna Hetherington. Edna: Well, as you all know Chicago is not at so great a distance as to keep me away. I am a social worker in the “wicked city.” My ambition for this career was inspired by the talks given in our Sociology class the last year we were together. Margaret: Reed Jerome. Reed: Classmates of 1923, I have not drifted away from the home town as have many of you. As most of you probably know, I am a teacher of the piano in St. Clair and am also president of the school board. I have aspired to this office ever since attending the dinner served by the girls of our class to the school board in the fall of 1922. niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinr.

Blanche wrote me that she could not be with us. She says that this time of the year they are particularly rushed in the stores. You know she is a fashion model in New York City. Alberta Kuhnlein. Alberta : I am private secretary to the President of the National Education Association of the United States in Washington, D. C. Margaret : Tryon Maclvor. Tryon: Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure, 1 am sure, to be with you on this occasion. I am holding the honorable position of cartoonist for the Newspaper Syndicate of New York. Margaret : Wilbur McGregor sent a wireless that he could not be here. He is a minister in the Yukon Valley and he feels he would be shrinking from his duty if he left his work now as he is conducting revival meetings. Arnold M it tig. Arnold: It is almost impossible to get away when you are a lecturer on the Redpath Bureau. Last evening I was at Toledo and for this evening I cancelled an appointment at Detroit so I could be here. Margaret: My name is next but Eve said enough. I’m here tonight and live in St. Clair. — Married? — of course. Ralph Pelton. Edna mentioned the letter that was to follow the telegram. Here it is. Dear Classmates of ’23. It is with deep regret that I send this letter instead of coming, as I had planned. But to-day l received word that my services were needed, as a valuable horse, a famous Kentucky thoroughbred, was taken suddenly ill with the colic. He is not entirely out of danger so I close in haste. “Doc” Pelton. Alma Radike also writes that the home ties are so strong that she will not be able to leave the children. From the trend of her letter she seems to be happy on the sea of matrimony and with seven children of whom the two youngest are twins she seems to be busy, in fact too busy to be here to-night. Ada Robbins. Ada: Being the wife of the only governor of our class my time at Jefferson City is taken up considerably with society life, such as attending bridge parties, Women’s Clubs, etc. Margaret : Lila Saunders. Lila: I guess every one here knows I am a farmer’s wife, with everything that the name implies. Margaret: Frances Shafer. Frances: I am just an old maid school teacher. I taught the Carleton School last term and boarded with Lila. Margaret : Arthur Smith could not leave West Point where he is training for a Military Officer. Corine Stein. Corine: Just now most of my time has been spent in this gymnasium. When I attended college I was jumping center in Basket Ball. I liked it so well that miiiii Page T h i rty-th rce 19 2 3 IllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllUtlillllllllllllllllllllllllllillW 19 2 3 THE C LARI O N I decided to he a physical director, and have had the privilege of teaching in St. Clair High School. Margaret : Esther Tripp. I am sorry to say that Esther could not be with us this evening. But I received a letter from her yesterday stating that she would he unable to attend. She is, as most of you probably know, a movie star and lives at Hollywood, where they are just now busily engaged in staging a play called “The Other Woman,” in which Esther has the part of the heroine. So you see she could not get away. Donald Waddell. Donald is also absent, being detained in Paris by urgent business. He, being a fashion critic is very busy at this season. However, he wishes to be remembered to all of his classmates. Eloise Webster. Eloise: Classmates, my home is in Bradford, Mass., where I hold the position of Dean of Women in the Bradford Academy, Mothering two hundred girls for ten months out of twelve is quite a responsibility. It certainly seems good to throw off the load for a little while and enjoy myself as a student once more. Margaret : Harold Westrick. Harold: Friends, it gives me much pleasure to be with you to-night. Margaret ' s letter came as a great surprise, but I managed to arrange my business so we could come. I am now the governor of Missouri and my home of course is at Jefferson City. I started out as a lawyer but the field of politics looked so inviting that I entered as a candidate. Edna: I am sure that hearing the voices of our former classmates, renews many pleasant memories which will stay with us longer because of having been together once more. Before we adjourn, I think we should repeat our class motto. All : Let us be seen by our deeds. uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Page Thirty-four 1 9 2 3 THE CLARION 1 9 2 3 SENIOR CLASS CREED We, the Senior Class of 1923, have tried through our four years of High School which have meant so much to us, to maintain the highest standards. We have held our class honor high. We have given to this school the best we have had. We have met our difficulties in our school days with a determination to overcome them to the best of our ability. We have sup- ported all things that we as a class have felt were for the best interests of the St. Clair High School. We have tried to raise the school standards, and have done our best to secure and maintain those things which we thought were right. As we leave school, each one of us will follow some path of life. We may never return to this place, but it will remain forever in our memory. And may those things that we have learned in our classes and other school activities help us over the more difficult places in our lives and may the things which the class as a whole has stood for, go with each member, as they go out into the world. iniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHtiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiintiiiiiiiiiiiii Page Thirty- jive Hllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilitllllllliilllllllltll llilllllllllll 1 9 2 3 T HE CLARIO N llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 1 9 2 3 CLASS WILL VVe, the Class of 1923, being of sound mind and knowing not of the dangers which will beset our path in our future careers, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament. lo Miss Johnston, all the candy wrappers and waste paper lying in the vicinity of the waste basket.

All that day cooking and cleaning went on at the White homestead so that by 7 o’clock when the Southern Flyer was due, everything from kitchen to the cosy little bedroom at the east where our new friend was to sleep, was shining, a full supply of cakes, cookies, pies, rolls and such enticing things that only Mammy Kole could make, were piled high in the pantry, and Mammy Kole, arrayed in her best dress and apron stood in the doorway eagerly awaiting the arrival of her young mistress. As she stood there vaguely picturing her a large car turned in at the gate and in a minute Helen White, the motherless daughter of Colonel W hite had jumped into the waiting arms of her old nurse. For the first few days Helen kept herself very much within her own family circle, but the following week, as was the custom among the older families of the South her father had a welcoming party for her; every young man for miles around was eagerly looking forward to this night when they would be able to meet this “new girl” of which they had been able to get but faint glimpses as she flitted about her father’s estate or at church, but especially among these was Fred; why shouldn’t he have first chance; weren’t her father and his the very closest of friends? “But then, maybe mammy was right when she said I wasn’t good enough for her,” muttered Fred as he began for the fifth time to prepare for the party. The orchestra was sending out jazzy tunes and the lights of the great old ball-room were casting shadows upon the smoothly-moving couples on the floor, when Fred made his way up the steps; it was just like Fred to be late, but better late than never was his policy and so by the end of the evening he had enjoyed several dances with Helen and had procured her permission to call the following evening. As the days and weeks went on Fred’s enthusiasm increased but on the other hand Helen’s seemingly dwindled until at last Fred went for mammy’s help and advice. “Well, Fredie,” her pet name for him, “there’s just some little thing happened that’s hurt her, mebbe it’s just one of dem dare tantrums you youngsters so often get ; just you keep up hopes and I think it will all come out in de wash.” niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiM Page Thirty-eight 1 9 2 3 T H E C L A R I 0 N lllllllllllilllllllllllillllllll 19 2 3 This somewhat encouraged Fred and he felt much better than he had before. In a couple of days Mammy Kole had another visitor, this time Helen, who had kept it to herself as long as possible, came and buried her troubles in mammy’s big heart. “Bless yo’ chile, ef dis ain’t de wust business I’ve got into in a long time; Fred loves you most as much as I do, I know it he done tole me hisself.” “But mammy, how can I believe that when he would be so rude as to send me a lolly-pop, a boquet of dandelions to wear to the reception and oh, so many other horrid things, 1 simply can’t believe it,” and with this Helen ran to her own room. That night after supper Helen crept out to the veranda at the South and lay down in the hammock; before long she spied a dark figure, like that of a man, sneaking up toward her; what could he want? “Mammy, daddy, oh won’t anyone help me, Fred will you? I need you now, Fred, please come.” “Yes, Helen, I’ve come,” said a voice beside her. Helen sat up, rubbed her eyes and looked around. “You called me, Helen, just when I was coming to explain.” “Explain, explain what?” echoed Helen, a note of anger creeping into her voice. “Explain, if I can, the things that have happened, honest, Helen I didn’t send you those things; mammy told me all about it, will you believe me Helen without proof?” “I don got de proof right here by de ear chil’n, here’s de proof,” and around the corner of the house came Mammy Kole, towing along by the ear young George Kole her great-grandeh’d. “I don caught him tellin’ those other little rascals what a grand trick he played on you two and I guess I just brought him around in time.” Helen looked at Fred and then at George, who stood grinning as though he quite enjoyed it even if he had the promise of a “good sound trashin’.” “Yes, Fred, I believe you,” said Helen, “it seems to be pretty good proof.” Alberta Kuhnlein. .IIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllH Page Thirty-nine I||||||||l!llllllillltllllll||inillt||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||]|||||||||||||||||j|||||t||||||||f|||||||t||||||||||||||||||||||(||||f|||||||||||;||||||||||||||||||||||||||||j||||||||||| 1923 THE CLARION i ) 2 :i DAYS AND DEEDS “Blessed Is He That Tooteth His Own Horn, Lest It Not Be Tooted At All ” Every class has fond memories of past accomplishments, and as a little reminder that the Class of 23 has not been deficient, we submit the following lake yourself back to the days when the present Seniors were Sopho- mores. In 1920, although still very insignificant in comparison with their present capacity, the Class of ’23 had one of their number, Tryon Maclvor, elected Bovs’ Commissioner of the Student Council ; something unheard of in former days. Likewise in that year. Miss Klager one day stated in Caesar class, which was composed of members of the Class of ’23: “I always look forward to this class during the day, for I know you can be trusted.” C’est tout. Also quoting Mr. Fairman, who one day said in Geometry class: “J have the best Geometry class that has passed through the doors of the school in many years.” In fact Mr. Fairman spoke of it as the best class he had ever seen. A=B J he next year was full of life. In the 1921 campaign of electing officers as members to the student council, we succeeded in obtaining three of the positions, namely, Tryon Maclvor, Business Manager; Margaret Moore, Girls’ Commissioner; and Ralph Pelton, Boys’ Commissioner. Following this the spirit of the class was shown by being the first class to have 100% in the buying of Lecture Lyceum course tickets; that is, every member of the Class of ’23 had a season ticket. On October 20, 1921, the Juniors took the H. S. Assembly into their own hands and put on a play entitled “The Mouse Trap.” It was a rousing or rather a screaming success. The principal actors were, Eloise Webster and Tryon Maclvor, acting the play to the queen’s taste. Pupils, teachers and everyone who saw the play said that the play copped the berries. Prof. Misenar said, “This is the best play I have seen in St. Clair, given by High School pupils, since I came here.” Other quotations from Mr. Misener, are, “Those Juniors sure are Hustlers.” “They’ll make the rest sit up and take notice.” In Chemistry XI, during our Junior year, Miss Howe said, “I like this class. I have fewer absences in it than in any other.” And at another time — “This class knows their formulas, valences, atomit wts., and symbols, better than any class I have had iii chemistry thus far.” Many compliments were handed the Class of ’23, concerning their splen- did Hallowe’en Party, October 28, 1921. After receiving the Chemistry examination papers, Miss Howe said, “This is the best set of chemistry papers I ever received in St. Clair.”, Three Juniors made the debating teams of the year of ’21 and ’22. They were, Tryon Maclvor, Ralph Pelton and Arnold Mittig. “It is better to try and lose, than not to try at all.” In the Musical Memory Contest which raged hot in 1921, the Juniors took first, second and third. The winners and the prizes were — 1st, Ada Robbins, $10.00; 2nd, Reed Jerome, $8.00; 3rd, Mary Allington, $4.00. Booby prizes — 1st, Ralph Pelton, rubber crowbar; 2nd, Myra Goodrich, barbed wire bath towel. Page Forty lllllllllllllllllllilllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlM 192 3 THE CLARION 1923 In the Oratorical Contest, the Class of ’23 brought home the bacon by having five of their members, and there were but five chosen altogether, to partake in the final St. Clair Contest. 1st, Margaret Moore; 2nd, Alberta Kuhnlein. In the district contest at Flint, Margaret placed 4th. In the local essay contest on “American Citizenship,” Margaret Moore took first, and Esther Tripp, second ; both of the Class of ’23. But Margaret’s essay did not stop here. When it was submitted to the state contest, Margaret accommodated them by carrying off first. In the state contest , as a prize, Margaret received an artistically designed wrist watch, and also a trip to Charlevoix, where the K. of P. Lodge was holding a convention. Margaret was the honored guest throughout, and did them the honor to read the essay to them. Every one of us should be proud of “Peg.” The Junior-Senior Banquet, given by the Class of ’2 3, was a banquet never before equalled by the students in St. Clair High. In the essay contest submitted by Mayor Gearing, on “St. Clair,” Susan Burtless won first place. Susan received a gold medal for her achievement. In a spell down one day in English II, Blanche Ketchum remained standing while all the others were compelled to take their seats one by one. To top off a successful year, Miss Howe, on our last day of chemistry, said, “I have never enjoyed a chemistry class like I have this one.” Only the members of the Class of ’23 can realize the real enjoyment gleaned from their merry class parties. (For further information of achievements of Our Senior Year, kindly refer to the “CALENDAR.”) LOVE ON THE FARM A potato went on a mash, And sought an onion bed. That’s pie for me observed the squash, And all the beets turned red. “Go away,” the onion weeping cried, “Your bride I cannot be. The pumpkin be your lawful bride You cantaloupe with me.” But onward still the tuber came, And bent down at her feet ; You cauliflower by any name. And it will smell as wheat, (as sweet). “And I too am an Early Rose, And you I’ve come to see ; So don’t turn up your pretty nose, But spinach at with me.” “I do not carrot all to wed, So go, sir, if you please,” The modest onion meekly said, And lettuce pray for peas.

Class debates, and dramatization of “As You Like It,” showed real talent. Then in June came the suggestion to organize. It was thought about during the Summer and in the Fall of ’21, it became an actuality, known as the Triangle, standing for dramatics, public speaking and music. The society owes much of its success of this first year to its able President, John Cyman, and good-natured Vice President, Ralph Pelton. They led the society through the trying period of organization and the year’s work ended with a banquet at the home of Margaret Moore. In this, the second year of the organization, Margaret Moore was elected President ; Charles Moore, Vice President ; Susan Burtless, Secretary ; and Arnold Mittig, Treasurer. It was noticeable that the new departments offered many inducements, and took much of the time formerly given to the Triangle. As a result, the work of the organization has been limited. The members of the Triangle have sponsored the local debating contests of the Michigan High School Debating League, the third sub-district Oratorical Contest, of the publication of the Red and Blue, and are now considering the staging of a three-act play.

One of these was the Smith-Hughes Agricultural department which began in St. Clair, September 1, 1922. Taking into consideration that 1922-23 was the first year that an Agricultural School has ever been located in this county, its growth has been as rapid as could be expected. The two Agricultural classes offered, gathered together about thirty students from the city and county. The students of the Farm Crops class conceived the idea of forming an organization composed of Farm students, and those interested in Agriculture. The result was that in October. 1922, a permanent organization was started with the following students as officers: President ------ Percy Fairfield Vice President - Leora Woods (now acting) Secretary Earnest Welser Treasurer ------ Helen Radike The aim of this organization was to interest Farm students in High School work, especially in Agriculture, so that if they go back to the farm they will not only be able to make a living, but be able to make their farm life one of enjoyment. A committee has drawn up a constitution which is under consideration at the present time. The plan of this constitution is to have one social meeting and one business meeting each month. Thus far several business meetings have been held, speakers from outside the organization being on the program. Several social affairs have also been staged at the homes of the farmer members. In order to make it an organization of interested students its membership will be limited to twenty students. These members must be living on farms or actively interested in Agriculture. Probably the most outstanding achievement of the Association was the sending of a grain judging team of six students to The Michigan Agricultural College during “Farmers Week.” The organization financed the trip by means of an Oyster Supper at one of the Gleaner Halls. Next year it is hoped that more farm students will enter school and then the association will get under way and do a much better piece of work. lllllilli:iilllilllllllillllllllllllll|||||tllllllllllllltllllllllllllllll(tlllllilllllllllllll!lllllliltlllillllltillltlllllllllllll!llllllllllllilllllllllllllIlllll!!llll!Ulllllllllillllllinillllll Page Fifty-one 192 3 T H E C L A R 1 0 N 19 23 Social Life of Seniors •jt ‘j SOPHOMORE-FRESHMEN One dark and wintry night in November, 1919 — we-forty-five of us — were hailed forth by the Sophs, to a big coming out party. This, dear readers, was when we were young and verdant, we didn’t know what beaus were. (This was before Myra joined our band). The girls with many palpitations, met and sallied forth in a body. The boys sneaked in two or three at a time and draped themselves around the stove at our long suffering City Hall. Maybe one or two of them danced with the girls and really quite a few of the Sophomore boys availed themselves of the opportunity. On the whole the affair was counted a great success surpassed only by • The party we gave the Sophmores. Great were the preparations. Much gray matter was used in selecting the orchestra, planning the decorations, preparing the light refreshments. We unbent. No more did our boys wreath the stove and content themselves with telling gibes at the more venturesome. Even the haughtiest Soph vowed she had had a good time, even the shyest Fresh stepped forth and made himself known. Thus did we make our debut as hosts and hostesses. DECEMBER, 1920 What? Have you guessed it? We are the Sophomores. It is our duty to welcome the shy, retiring Freshman. How we glory in it. How we plan to initiate them into the social whirl of which we are (in our own minds) the dazzling leaders. How we will teach them to dance. Alas. Destiny (in the form of Mr. Misenar) has decreed otherwise. We must teach them to play games it seems. Bring out the Crokinole boards, Parceesie, authors, out with the dance, we can have none of it. So there we are — the Fresh protest their good feelings for us in spite of the fact that not a light fantastic toe was tripped — you understand. Well. Well. We must admit that those Fresh, way back in the spring of 1 21 had us backed way off the map. They hired the Garden Auditorium, they went to unheard of expenditures in the matter of music and refreshments and they had a dance. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET “Good-bye to the Seniors” say we and we give them a banquet at the Cad illac Hotel with toasts, printed menu cards, flowers and party dresses — oh, you know the traditional thing but always new to each generation of students. The word “good-bye” is as hard to say as ever and yet a puffy feeling in the chest that the next year we will be the Senior with traditions to up-hold, honors to win, the affairs of a nation, as if were upon our shoulders.

This was a wind-up of a hike and weenie roast in which the grave upper classmen indulged. e are beginning to pair off now, for instance Eloise and Charles, altho’ the hectic affairs of the Junior year, when Myra lends the snap and spice of uncertainty to even the most prosy of affairs, has not yet come. It certainly was a pity to use the poor starving Chinese as an excuse f° r a party, but that’s what we did and made six dollars to give toward their relief too. Engineered by us, than whom there are no hardier go-getters, re- luctant consent was wrung from the stern lips of Old Destiny — and we were rewarded by a perfectly scrumptious good time for all. 1921-1922 I his is our gala year — no more are we under-foot, mere yearlings — not yet have the robes of gravity and quiet dignity descended upon us— we are free, we are chosen peoples, the beloved of the faculty as we never had been before, free to step out and dare rash ventures, to usher in startling innovations. As proof of our originalty we give the Seniors a Halowe’en party — Much yellow and black, many pumpkins and cornstalks and best of all a sort of half gloom to dance in. SENIOR HIGH Honoring the Honorables ! Nothing less— when the Sophomores and Juniors royally entertained the Seniors this winter. The “Gym” was festive with the artistic decorations in yellow and blue, the lovely colors of the Senior Class. Dancing, of course— and the usual punch and wafers. It w as a mighty nice party and the Seniors in all dignity, felt and showed their appreciation. SENIOR-JUNIOR SLEIGH RIDE Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! Oh yes, a sleigh ride. Ever since we first started our career as Freshman, we’ve wanted to pile into a sleigh and go off for a good time, but never before have the weather and our treasury permitted so much fun at the same time. This was our last chance and we had to grab it so we picked up the Juniors and all started off even though several of the Class w ere a little late and failed to put in an appearance until after we had left. The poor members— they were left behind to follow in machines as best they could. After knocking down several mail boxes we arrived at East China Town Hall where the evening w as spent in dancing. Just before starting back, coffee and doughnuts w ere served to warm us up for our homeward ride. We arrived in old St. Clair early and all had a good time and we trust our guests did so, too. SENIOR-JUNIOR HIGH The Senior High entertained the Junior High at a dance in the “Gym” to take aw r av the monotony of the cold, tiresome, wintry days. Owdng’to the fact that part of the orchestra were late in arriving, w r e didn’t begin our festivities until nearly time to depart. Nevertheless we all drank our five or six glasses of punch before leaving and then declared it to be a good party. inuniiftiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiinRHnifliuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiniiiiiim Page Fifty- four fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiim 1 9 2 3 THE CLARION 19 2 3 The B.

As leader of their gay life they chose a lovelorn maid to guide them in their forth-coming adventures. They were brought in the eyes of the public St. Patrick’s day when they stepped out togged in stockings of green and hair ribbons of the same. The next meeting was held at Romance Grove. At this time they planned a brilliant future. Pins were made but which have long since disappeared under the lapelles of several coats around school. April first being a fitting time the B. B’s again met but this time to live up to the day they brought six other personages along with them. This party was held at Kiss-A-Miss Palace. An April Fool’s lunch was served — first but a real one, the six folks agree, they saw disappear later. The next meeting of the B. B’s was held at Kiss-A-Miss Palace, May 2, 1923. The first part of the evening was spent perfecting the tango and eating candy while later harmonious noises could be heard all along the river. For there they were out on the bank under the moon singing as tho’ their hearts would break. Some agony ! At this meeting a song, a pass word and a clasp were added to the mysterious rules and regulations. During vacation but one meeting of the B. B’s was held because of the members being away on their respective vacations. This meeting was in the form of a hike down the river. Much fun was made by the B. B’s by making an imaginary attack on an old house, rowing or rather getting wet, and eating. We followed the bank of the river coming back and felt like real explorers. The B. B’s adjourned until after school started when they were entertained over the week-end, at Cupid’s Palace, Arrow Drive, October 6-7, 1922. A marshmallow roast, participated in by two of our Senior boys, whose instinct led them unerringly to the scene of feasting, a mid-night walk through the cemetery, a morning’s fun in the haymow where everyone felt like entering Barnum Bailey’s Circus, was enjoyed by every last B. B. Another meeting was held at Dreamer’s Palace, November 25. Much fun was had, toasting cheese, drinking grape juice, eating apples, and cracking nuts around the fire place. A weird sensation it was to have the house in total darkness with the exception of the fire in the grate and listen to ghost stories. About midnite hour the B. B’s strolled to the second story and we won’t say how late their chattering was still heard. Finis jusqua dates. M. J. A. Another meeting, jolly but throughout a little sadness for this would be the last meeting at which all of the six would be together was held at Nestle Palace, Paradise. The fun of the evening was mainly, attempted square dancing and taffy pulling. By ten thirty we finished the taffy and “pulled out” to our respective homes. Soon after this meeting one of the members left our ranks — moved away. As the remaining five tho’t no one else could justly fill the place no other member was added but the group went on — five in number. Page Fifty- five SCHOOL CALENDAR E.

It has been the goal of the school to produce the best possible teams to represent the student-body and community in athletics. Before the erection of the new school-house, athletics activities were some- what handicapped, due to the lack of suitable places in which to practice, and to the need of equipment. The new building, thanks to the kindness and foresight of this community, has supplied all that was lacking in this direction. Thus, it has aided greatly in increasing the efficiency of the high school teams. At the beginning of the school year a Girl’s Athletic Association was organized. The object of which, is to develop in the girls, interest in Athletic sports and to instil in them the spirit of true sportsmanship. At the present time they have a one-hundred per cent, membership. There is a meeting of the board once a month to take care of the business of the Association. By giving candy sales, and selling frost-bites at the games we have been able to pay all of our expenses and still have a neat sum in the treasure. The girls under the supervision of the Athletic teacher. Miss Mowrer, are preparing a Mav festival which will be given for the benefit of the Association. We want to thank the general public for their co-operation and attendance to the athletic aflfairs. May the high standard which the school has established always be upheld, that the future success of the school in athletics may be assured. lllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllltllllilllllillllllM lllltlllllllllllllllllllllll iiiiiiiiiiinniiiiiii Page Sixty-one iiitiiitiiiii[iiiiiitiiiiiiiiii:tiiiiiiiitiiiiiiii!iifiint 1923 l||tlllllllllllf(llllltllllUllilllllll!tillllillltlliillllllll||lllllli!IIHIIIII|illllllilllltl 19 2 3 THE CLARION SCHOOL LIFE And now, in nineteen hundred and twenty Of successful Freshies we had a great plenty, We now look upon the Sophomore As energetic as the year before. Then comes nineteen hundred and twenty-one, As Juniors now our work is done, With a fine, big class, and a good faculty, too; Now boasts the professor — “I said she’d do!” And so another successful year has past, Nineteen hundred twenty-two has come at last. Our jolly Juniors of the year before Alas ! are filling the seats of the seniors of yore. But they are fitted for their task, With all their coaching in the three years past, They still stand out this year at last — Successful the professor’s masterpiece. Yes, years have gone by other students have come Filling the places of those who have gone. Hard rows have been hoed; mistakes have been found; But still stands the school — not broken down. All has gone well until June of twenty-three, The seniors are still “riding well on the sea,” With the teachers coaching and the prof’s hard work, And the co-operation so that none may shirk ; The Seniors now, as in years before Are doing fine and a little bit more. Thus go the Seniors of today; Logic is logic, that’s all I’ll say. By Mary J.

Twenty-four men reported for practice and real practice started in. On Friday, September 29, the Algonac foot-ball team came to our own field and played us to a 6 to 0 defeat. The only touchdown being made off a blocked punt. St. Clair showed a little weakness on carrying and passing the ball. On Friday, October 6, our team went to Algonac and played them on their own field. We had not completely recovered from the last defeat and so we invaded Algonac with the old fighting spirit of St. Clair Hi. Our foot-ball team will always remember what Mr. Misenar said when he first came here, “that it is better to suffer defeat than not play a hard, clean game. But this game also proved a defeat for us 6 to 0. Algonac started the game by kicking iiff to us. The ball was fumbled and an Algonac man recovering it. We were disheartened a little and Algonac crossed our goal line for the only touchdown of the game. But after that the team regained the fighting spirit and held like a brick wall. Charles Moore and our Captain P. Cleland were out of this game, till Percv could stand it no longer then he came in for the last quarter. Engalgau starred in this game by his skillful punting. We were never beaten until the final whistle blew. Friday, October 13, Croswell came to St. Clair to play the third game of the season. Our team was in hard shape this day, it may have been because it was Friday, the 13th. Two men that were needed badly this day were taken out just as we went to the field. They were Ed. and Dick Chase. The game started by Croswell kicking off and from the first whistle until the final it was a hard fought game. St. Clair in first quarter got mixed up on the signals and instead of passing, punted. 1 lie ball went light straight in the air, coming down in a Croswell man’s arms. This placed them in a good position for a touchdown but the quarter ended. Croswell was three feet from their goal line. When the second quarter started, Croswell, after three downs made a touchdown. A Croswell man made a successful goal kick. In this quarter “Baldy” Cleland crossed Croswell’s goal line for our only points. The last half was a hard and long fought battle. One Croswell man had three ribs broken, Brenner had his face cut badly in two places, and Smith came out with an injured knee. In the last few minutes Croswell pushed across our goal line for another touchdown, the game then ended with Croswell victorious, 13 to 6. October 20, St. Stephen’s High School of Port Huron, came to St. Clair with a heavy and fast team. Our team was ready for them although they had just completed a hard week of practice. The ball was kicked off by St. Stephen’s and Percy Cleland received it and carried it to the middle of the field. With a few line bucks “Baldy” Cleland shot across their goal line for the first touchdown of the game. On the next kick off we lost the ball on downs. When the ball was kicked off by St. Stephen’s at the beginning of the last half it took just two plays for Percy Cleland to cross their goal for our other touchdown.

Miss Mowrer picked the girls ' Varsity team which would represent St. Clair, on the court. The members of the team met January 12, and elected Helen Thompson, Captain of ’23. It was a victorious vear for the local squad, losing only four games all season ; and the many victories gained were due to the efforts of the coach, Miss Mower, also the hard work of the team. The following girls composed the team for 1923: R. F. — Helen Baker. L. F. — Dorothy Beyschlag. J. C. — Susan Burtless and Katherine Balfour. R. C. — Lucretia Patterson. R. G. — Helen Thompson. L.

The men of our team were expecting to be swamped under by a large score. But we had made up our minds to give them a good contest. When we faced them at 4:00 o’clock we looked like babies compared with them, but they did not scare us a bit. We were in luck this day to have every regular in uniform. The game was well played by both sides but they were a heavier, stronger and better team than we were. We were defeated 21 to 0, but the score does not tell how our men fought. November 4, we went to Marine City to meet our life long rivals. Our men were not confident to win but we were going to make every Marine City man work for what he got. The breaks were against us in this game and the only thing that saved us from becoming whitewashed was Engelgau’s toe. He made our only points. This game was another defeat, 13 to 3, and “Midnight” Robbins, our regular right end, was taken out, because he had a finger injured. This kept him out for the rest of the season. Marysville came here on November 10. This game proved a walk-away for St. Clair by the score of 46 to 6. Their only touchdown coming from an onside kick going behind our goal line and Woods of Marysville, recovering it. November 17, we went to Yale and this was the worst game of the season. We did not pretend to play foot-ball as they did in 1900 or 1910, but Yale was well coached in that style. It was more of a free-for-all battle than a foot- ball game. We were defeated 7 to 0. November 24, was our last game of the season. It was played with Richmond on our home grounds. This game was well played and hard fought, but it had no more than started than we lost our quarter-back Ash. We were then out of place, every man in this game deserves credit for what he did to help our school. We went down to defeat, 7 to 0. BASKET BALL GAMES ’23 j The first game of the season was played on our own floor, January 5, 1923. Washington Jr. Hi of Port Huron faced our men with a fast and light team. The game was well played by both sides but the “Red and Blue had had about three weeks of practice while ashington 1 r. men had about two months. 1 his game was a 29 to 19 defeat for us. January 12, our team defeated Algonac 34 to 22 on Algonac’s own floor. This floor was a wonderful one, about 10 ft. by 8 ft. Although we were handicapped by being used to playing on a large floor, it turned out our victory. January 19, Memphis came to St. Clair with a heavy and fast team, but St. Clair had improved a lot in the last two weeks and when the first half ended the score was 15 to 0 in favor of St. Clair and when the final whistle blew St. Clair was victorious 23 to 8. January 26, St. Clair went to Capac and played there, but came home defeated 18 to 12. January 27, St. Clair met Marysville on St. Clair’s own floor. Their men were tired from the night before and were not in shape to play but they did their best and were defeated 18 to 10. Chamberlin and Doner were used in the game but too late.

Every Freshman loves a Freshman ’Cause it is their way; Will they always love each other? That is hard to say. 3. If a Sophomore meets a Freshman Coming thru the hall ; If a Sophomore greets a Freshman Need the heavens fall? 4. Every Sophomore scorns a Freshman, Naught, he thinks is he, Yet if there were no little Freshmen Flow could a Sophomore be? 5. If a Junior meets a Freshman Coming thru the hall ; If the junior greets the Freshman Doesn’t he feel tall? 6. Every Freshman thinks a Junior Really is quite nice, ’Cause a Junior sometimes stoops To give Freshmen advice. 7. If a Senior meets a Freshman Coming thru the hall ; If a Senior sees the Freshman Truly, that is all. 8 Every Senior was a Freshman, Doesn’t that seem queer? Yet a Senior cannot ever See a Freshman near. SENIOR-JUNIOR Here we are. Being entertained by the Seniors, those haughty souls, who as Sophs made our lives so miserable, but who now hire an orchestra and buy confetti to amuse us.

If girls didn’t carry a looking-glass. And there never was any rushing when classes pass. If F ranees W alter failed to make home-plate. If Mary Allington was never late. And Helen Burke didn’t have a date. If Miss Stewart didn’t know how to sing. If Esther Tripp could do the Highland Fling. And the bells went on a strike and wouldn’t ring. If Lewis Ruff ceased to wear his Knickers. If in the Library were heard no snickers. And Miss Howe’s questions weren’t such stickers. If Freshies came to school and were not green. If Anna Shepherd should get real lean. If Mr. Akred was never really mean. If teachers forget to come hack in the fall. If the ceiling should fall down in the hall. Then there couldn’t be any school at all. That would be funny. WHY SHE OBJECTED An old woman’s son was seriously ill and the attending surgeon advised an operation. But the mother bitterly objected. “I don’t believe in operations!” she exclaimed. “Even the Scriptures is agin it. Don’t the Bible say plain and flat: ‘W r hat God hath j’ined togither, let no man put asunder’?” DO YOU KNOW— W hat room it is we always shun, The one we leave upon the run W herein we sleep and work’s not done? The library. W r ho does his work with a dull tool And always finds the time to fool. And kicks about this “blooming school.” The Grumbler.

For all that he said in remonstrance was: “My dear, you’ll never be able to drive that nail with a flatiron. For heaven’s sake, use your head.” HE MIGHT BE, BUT SHE WASN’T Dinah had been troubled with a toothache for some time before she got up enough courage to go to a dentist. The moment he touched her tooth she screamed. “What are you making such a noise for?” he demanded. “Don’t you know I’m a ‘painless dentist’?” “Well, sah,” retorted Dinah, “mabbe vo’ is painless, but Ah isn’t.” OF COURSE SHE HAD Moving into a new house recently, near his mother’s home, a young man named Brown opened the door at the ring of the iceman. “Mrs. Brown told me,” the iceman said, “to see you about ice.” “Mrs. Brown, Senior?” asked young Brown. “Yes,” replied the iceman, “she seen me.” A DISTINCT ASSET Traveling in the mountains a man stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old woman brought it to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her, telling her about some of the wonders he had seen in the outside world. When he finally stopped to take breath, the old woman took the pipe out of her mouth and said : “Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do, I’d go somewhere an’ start a little grocery.” HAD EVERYTHING SKINNED Mary had a little lamb — ’Twas Persian — on her coat; She also had a mink or two About her dainty throat ; A bird of paradise, a tern And ermine made the hat That perched at jaunty angle On her coiffure, largely “rat.” Her tiny boots were sable topped, Her gloves were muskrat too. Her muff had heads and tails of half The “critters” in the zoo. And when she walked abroad, I ween, She feared no wintry wind ; At keeping warm ’twas plain to see she had all nature “skinned.” Jim — “Have you ever been pinched for going too fast?” Kenny — “No, but I’ve been slapped.” Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllt Illllllllllllllllllllllillllll IllllllllllUt Page Eighty-seven 19 2 3 THE CLARION 1923 Dick — “I need ten dollars and have no idea where I can raise it.” Jed — “Neither have I.” Alma — “I don ' t care for men.

Mrs. Mau to Harold W estrick — “Harold, some day I’ll let you recite the whole lesson to see if you’ll get talked out.” Two men were arguing on the train, over a lawsuit they were having.

This advertisement is to call your attention to “The Salt That’s All Salt.” Always insist on Diamond Crystal Salt and you will obtain a salt which is famed for its purity and renowned for its flake-like grain. Each particle of Diamond Crystal Salt is a tiny flake and just as a flake of snow dissolves more readily than a lump of hail so a flake of Diamond Crystal Salt dissolves more readily and flavors food more uniformly than ordinary salt.
