CREED e the class of ’24 upon starting out on another phase of our life will always think of the cherished memories of old St. Clair High. While in school we have more than tried to emphasize the true meaning of the “square deal” policy. We have tried hard to keep the standards especially the moral standards of our school high. We have tried to live as we would have others live. We feel sure that our success, if we may call it that, is not due wholly to ourselves but to the encouragement of the whole school. Although we may depart from the High school life, we shall never forget the friendships made there and as our l ast words we wish the greatest of success to the school and its benefactors.

M. Misenar who was called and accepted the presidency at the University of Michigan ) remarked the announcer “don ' t you believe the radio improve- ments have been wonderful these last few years and just to imagine that even public schools with a little aid are able to cope with current prices of equipment and broadcast some of the school activities, it gives the citizens an insight, an idea of what the children are doing and the great possibilities that lie within. “You are right, returned Mr. Adolph “and this radio phone is apt to revolutionize our system of education, at least to those who are unable to go to high school. “Good night. Bill. “Good night cried back the an- nouncer “I’ll be back a little after one P. M. tomorrow to check up on the telegrams. I look forward to an interesting program. Scene II.

M. for the first we have some musical selections and about 8:30 we will he ready to read the tele- grams. There is quite a hit of enthusiasm among the old “grads of that year that reside in this city and they are all set to listen in on the program. “It is near 7 :30 now, so I’ll get things started. Me entered the broadcasting room and announced the numbers as they came; as they were nearly exhausted he left the room, went to his desk, brought back his pack of telegrams. I he last of the numbers was rendered and he started with his part of the program. “You have just listened to some splendid musical numbers, now, for the benefit of the members of the class of 1924 and everyone in-
