THE CLARION FOR. THE YEAR 1926 PUBLISHED BY SENIORS of JUNE 1926 J aint Clair High School Saint Clair, Michigan Copyright 1926 by HARLOW B. MENO Business Manager JOSEPH S.

Misenar - Superintendent Dedication A S a slight token of our respect Y and esteem for those who, by their untiring efforts, have enabled us to complete our high school course, we, the members of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty Six, respectfully dedicate this vol- ume to our Mothers and our Fathers. Foreword E of ' 26 have endeavored to make v v this CLARION a real sourceof information and entertainment for all who read it. It has been prepared by us without thought of financial gain, but rather to put all in it possible with our limited resources, both in quality and quantity. To the alumni, we hope this book will recall their own High School days — for we have labored to that end. To the students of S. C. H. S. in ' 26, we hope the book will prove a pleasant reminder of the activities carried on during that year. We have tried to make this volume the finest ever issued here — a goal for other classes to strive to attain. We hope we have accomplished our pur poses. It is for you — the reader — to judge. 3tt iKrmortam £ ur goob frienb Babib £lfereb The CLARION is indebted to the following who are among the contributors to its success: Emeline Jenks Crampton Edna G.

Miss Howe as science teacher, Miss Heinbecher as instructor in mathematics and Latin, Mr. Bacheller in the manual training department. Miss Mowrer and Mr. Gerke in thedepartment of health education, and Miss Hacking and Mr. Adolph as principals in the junior and senior high schools respectively, resumed their work with buts light changes in their programs. Miss Wilson, giving up her senior high English and Latin classes, succeeded Mrs. Blanche Mau as school librarian. Students and faculty welcomed the return of Miss Ruth Johnston to the social science department of senior high school. During her leave of absence Miss Johnston was engaged in Y. W. C. A. work as Educational Secretary in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She also taught one year in the high school at Marine City. Among the new teachers last fall were Miss Mary McIntyre, Miss Hazel Muhlitner, Miss Evelyn Weinman, Miss Mildred Travis, Mr. Ross Kitz- miller, and Mr. W. A. L. Willard. Miss McIntyre, a graduate of the Western State Normal, is the successor of Miss Helene Hirsch as head of the commercial department. Before coming to St. Clair, Miss McIntyre taught at Holland, Michigan, where she was principal of the school. Miss Muhlitner came to St. Clair after experience at Bad Axe and Char lotte, where she was head of the home economics department. Miss Muhlitner is a graduate of the Michigan State College. Miss Weinman, a graduate of the Michigan State Normal College at Ypsilanti, is director of music in the St. Clair schools. For six months she was substitute supervisor of music in the Ypsilanti public schools, then taught for two years at Holly before accepting the position she now holds in St. Clair. Miss Travis, a graduate of the University of Michigan, succeeded Miss Wilson as instructor of senior high English and Mrs. Mau as instructor in public speaking. Miss Travis was formerly head of the English department at the Ferris Institute. Mr. Ross Kitzmiller came to St. Clair after graduating from Kalamazoo Normal. In addition to his work as instructor of social science in junior high school, he has been leader of one of the boys ' Y groups this year, and an ardent champion of the great game of checkers. Mr. Willard, present mathematics instructor has back of him, varied experience as a teacher in rural, village, and city schools. He has taught in all parts of lower Michigan. Neither Mr. Willard nor Mr. Kitzmiller expect to return to St. Clair next year. Chief among those of the faculty who do not return next year is Mr. O. M. Misenar. For eight years Mr. Misenar has been superintendent at St. Clair. Those years have seen the erection of one of the best equipped modern high schools in the state, credit for which is due largely to the efforts of the superintendent. Students, faculty, and townspeople wish to express their appreciation of Mr. Misenar ' s work and wish him success when he enters the field of business next fall. 20 THE CLARION HARLOW B.

We believe in loyalty to our teams, for they endure hardships as good soldiers, to represent us in our contests for recognition. We believe in fair play, without which even a victory is a defeat. We believe in the worthwhileness of high school friendships. We believe in perseverance through difficulties for we hope it is not with us as with those whom small things can discourage. We believe that true happiness is a valuable asset in life and we would always remember that a merry heart doeth good like a medicine. We believe in reaching for the highest in spirit, mind, and body. We believe that out success, if we may be permitted to call it such, is not due to ourselves alone but to the merits of our school — its building, its books, its faculty and the wholesomeness of its atmosphere. Class SHIP We sailors on board old ' 26 Four years ago set out With a mighty crew of fifty six — To travel the world about. The first long year we struggled on. And stopped at many a port. Few sailors left, while most stayed on For learning and for sports. Poem OF ' 26 Our faithful helmsman at the wheel Was steering straight ahead — E ' er mindful of us with heart of steel, Our third year quickly sped. Our captain too, long may he live. He strove to guide us right. With four and twenty now on board The harbor ' s just in sight. THE CLARION 25 An Acknowledgement N this book, the last great project which we, as a Class attempt, it seems only fitting that we take time and space to thank those to whom we are indebted. We want the entire Student Body to know that we appreciate the support they have given us in every thing we have attempted, and we hope that the same hearty co-operation which was extended to u$ will be extended in full measure to each succeeding class. We wish to thank those of the Faculty who have given of their time, talent, and energy to help us put across our various projects; and we want them to know that we appreciate every favor we have received. To the Community at large we wish to express our heartiest thanks for the support they have so unfailingly given us. To the Business Men of Saint Clair and some of Port Huron; The Pearson Grocery Company of Superior, Wisconsin; The P. H. Cheney Sons Company of Ashtabula, Ohio; The Upson-Walton Company of Cleveland, Ohio; The Union Paper 6- Twine Company of Detroit; Lodge No. 14, International Shipmasters ' Association, of Saint Clair; and Mr. Gordon W. Kingsbury of the Kelvinator Corporation, Detroit, we give our heartfelt thanks in appreciation of the aid they have given us in the publication of our year book. To the Class, I wish personally to express my thanks for the support they have given me as President. The support has been somewhat variable at times, but to counteract this, the group of students known as the Class of ' 26 has at all times been in possession of that quality generally termed the ol ' e fight. — And so you have, we hope, the successful Class of ' 26. You, the aforementioned, have helped to make us what we are today, hope you ' re satisfied. HARLOW B. MENO, We President — 1926 26 THE CLARION Class History Why are war heroes remembered long years after more deserving men who were wise and patient enough to keep us out of the war are forgotten? This may sound like a cynical question, but it is merely one that is the result of my reflections on my position as class historian; for is it not the historian who gives to some immortal fame while others are committed to dust? It is the his- torian who makes one man stand out as a bright and shining example while others are pushed back in oblivion and uncertainty. It is he who points out the important battles, knowing meanwhile how many heart rending struggles have never been recorded. As class historian I shall attempt to give a true and complete history of our class with all due respect to the necessity for brevity. In September 1922 we entered our career as High School students in the new school. Mrs. Hilbert and Mr. Berry were our class advisors and Alfred Delor our class president. Again in September 1923 we elected Alfred Delor as our class president for the year while Miss Veneklasen, now Mrs. Adolph, Mr. Adolph and Mr. Schalm were our class advisors. In October we entertained the class of 1925 at a Halloween party. In the fall of 1924 we returned to school, diminished in numbers, but with as much vitality as before. Our leaders for this year were Alfred Delor, president, Mr. Schalm and Miss Maltpress class advisors. As juniors we undertook a great project, that of publishing the Red and Blue for the last half year. With Alfred Delor as editor-in-chief and an able staff, not forgetting Mr. Schalm ' s invaluable help, we succeeded. In May, came the great event of our junior year, the Junior Senior Banquet. As seniors we elected Harlow Meno as class president; Alfred Delor, vice- president; Mary Kennedy, secretary; and Hazel Meiselbach, treasurer. Our able class advisors were Miss Howe and Miss Johnston. Our chief project this year was the “Clarion” and all thoughts and efforts were directed toward its success. THE CLARION 27 Social History of Class of ' 26 The social history of the 1926 class began when we took that long, never- to-be forgotten journey to the Home of the Feeble Minded at Lapeer, Michigan. Mrs. Hilbert and Mr. Berry were our class advisors at that time and it is to them that we owe the experience. There is always something to take the joy out of life is a saying old and true, for as a group of our fellow playmates and Mr. Adolph were sightseeing through Adair, the little Ford decided that it would be better for all concerned to stay in the peace and quietude of that little hamlet and not mingle with the worldly cities, and so they all agreeably consented. The rest of the crowd reached their destination. How we all survived that day is more than 1 can explain. However 1 am sure we have benefited by it because none of the members of this class have even returned to Lapeer. On our home- ward journey we passed a poor, little, old Ford. What a pitiful sight it was. Tired and distressed, coughing and wailing along its way. Another one for the junk heap was the remark from our car. Little did we realize that Mr. Adolph and our fellow school mates were participating in its misery. Queer little Freshmen we were. Too studious and bashful for a party. But about October 25, 1924 Sh! yes, something was going to happen to the Sophomore class. Oh, it was very quiet as yet but by the hushed voices and sly, querying glances, it was evident that the wind held some secret. With the aid of a dic- tionary and a grammar and with all formality and due respect, it was carefully thought out and written in timid little curves and dots. What? Why the invitation to the Juniors from the Sophs to attend a Hallowe ' en party, to be given in the gym that Friday evening. When we were Sophomores we cooperated with the Juniors and Seniors in entertaining the Junior High School at a Washington party. As this was not our function alone, we ' ll not go into further details here. Hip! Hurrah! What for? A weanie roast. Where? Up the river. When? June fifth. The weanies, rolls, and marshmallows suffered that night. In some mysterious way the marshmallows disappeared but with the aid of able detec- tives, they were recovered, behind a fence post — that is, what there was left of them. Sand and charred weanies constituted the main part of the menu. How- ever bad effects haven ' t been known yet and we ' re hopeful creatures. The next big step in the social stairs was the Junior-Senior banquet. According to the usual custom, we, as Juniors, entertained the class of 1925 with a banquet and program, and, with local talent for music, a dance afterward. This passed with the usual customs and formalities. In spite of the fact that Gilbert Thomson forgot that he wasn ' t at the Desmond and held Gwendolyn Markle ' s hand until Nellie Wuest put her foot in his reserved dish of pickles under his chair, the banquet, as usual, was a great success. On the night of March 17, 1925 the gym, in some mysterious way was trans- formed and took the appearance of a barn, ready for an old fashioned barn dance. The fiddlers were Finzel ' s orchestra and the lads and lassies people of St. Clair. Until two o ' clock in the morning the dancers Hoed it down. We younger ones stood around wide eyed and open mouthed in astonishment to see how graceful and young some of our elders could be. The dance was such a success that it was repeated the next year, 1926. The fiddlers this time were the Lozen orchestra. 28 THE CLARION Class Prophecy WAS hurrying down Broadway one day thinking about the Class of ' 26, and wondering what each was doing. As I was wandering about to wile away the three hours before my train was to leave, I thought I would see if I could find something very unusual to amuse myself. I was aimlessly reading the signs, when the name Secase Houdui met my glance. Upon approaching I discovered that he was a Hindoo Crystal Gazer. I said to myself, ' Til see if he is a fake, or if he can really tell my fortune ' I went in and much to my surprise I discovered that he could tell me just what other people were doing if I told him their names. My thoughts of the Class of ' 26 returned, and I proceeded to ask him about them. This is what he said about each: Eunice McMullen has attained great success as a female Sherlock Holmes. She is now working in the underworld of San Francisco on a mysterious murder case. After Bruce Schlinkert left school he went to college. There he was very prominent in athletics. But during his college career he never forgot his saxa- phone and practiced faithfully in his spare moments. Now he has succeeded Rudolph Wiedof as saxaphone player in one of the nationally known orchestras. Gwendolyn Markle is in Hollywood. She is now making a great melo- drama. Those Baby-Blue Eyes is to be the best picture ever produced. Donald Distlerath has succeeded Fritz Kreisler as the world ' s greatest violinist, and has attained great renown as a composer. Alice Vollstaedt has been promoted from her position as secretary to the Superintendent of the St. Clair Schools and is now the head of the Commercial Department. She is striving for the International Typing Championship. George Burkart is captain of the S. S. Levithan. He is also married and the proud father of three handsome boys. One thing that he wishes to be thoroughly understood by everyone is that none of his three sons will ever be required to take either Chemistry or Physics. Bernice Blakie is directing musical comedies for the J. B. Rogers Producing Co. This career was inspired by her smashing success in All Aboard. She writes all of her own plays. . Alfred Delor is running the new dance pavilion at Adair. He also gives lessons in the latest dance steps. Charlotte Burke has been disappointed in love. She is now the much loved matron of a famous Orphans ' Home. John Heisler is president of a chain of drug stores. Most of the pills his stores sell are of his own concoction. Evelyn Watson is now in her fourth matrimonial adventure and has at last settled down. They are living quietly in a small cottage along the river, but it is feared that this is only the lull before the storm. Gilbert Thomson is painting pictures for the Holeproof Hosiery Company. He is very successful. However, his greatest ambition in life is to paint a picture of his ideal woman. Mary Kennedy is Editor of the Womans ' Home Companion. Although she has never been married she has columns in several prominent newspapers giving advice to married women. She has attained great renown by translating some heiroglyphic inscriptions which were taken out of the Great Pyramid. Leo Shovan has accumulated much wealth and has achieved great fame as a professional football player. He made seven touchdowns in the last game with Red Grange ' s team. THE CLARION 29 Hazel Meiselbach is happily married to her high school sweetheart. They are making experiments similar to those made by Luther Burbank with plants. Their latest specie is one which is a cross between a duck and a chicken. It roosts in trees and swims in the w ater. Francis Murray is a prosperous salesman for a nationally known clothing house. He has designed several new suits. Nellie Wuest is lecturing on the Redpath Lyceum circuit. Her subject is The Degradation of the Morals of the Younger Generation. As soon as she returns from her tour, she will marry a very prominent St. Clair business man. He is forty-three years older than she and is very wealthy. Miss Wuest is living in hopes of an early funeral. Henry Simons has just appeared in a stage success surpassing A1 Jolson, the famous comedian. He has taken the part of a negro so much that he is now under the care of a physician who is trying to bleach him. Phyllis Robertson is an active member of the Michigan State Legislature. She has a great political future. She has introduced a bill in the legislature advocating that the state should appropriate funds for a scientific research to find something which will make small people grow. The bill will no doubt be passed. George Smith is President of the Gillette Razor Co. As this doesn ' t occupy all his time, he tours a great deal, giving lectures on the unsanitary effects of the mustache. He wore one in his school days, but it long ago fell under the razor. Gladys Wenning has attained great success a a health director. From her headquarters in New York, with the aid of the radio, she instructs the great world class in Physical Education. James Boden is head warden at Jackson Prison. Sight-seers often mistake him for an inmate which is not very flattering to his vanity. David Murphy has realized his greatest ambition. He has returned to his much beloved Ireland and owns a large estate there. On this estate he raises shamrocks which he presses and sends all over the world. Harlow Meno successfully filled Robert LaFollette ' s place in the United States Senate for a while. Finding it too quiet there he went to Russia where he succeeded Lenine and Trotzky as chief Revolutionists. This finished the list I had given to the Hindoo, and he came out of his trance. He charged me $9.57. I left, and boarded my train. On my trip, I mused over the success of the Class of ' 26. 30 THE CLARION Class Will E, the Senior Class of 1926 of St. Clair High School, St. Clair, Michi- gan, in accordance with the custom practiced by the classes of other years, inasmuch, as we are both in uncertain health and mind as a result of our four years struggle in High School, and whereas, we desire to distribute our worldly possessions among our dear friends before we pass on, do hereby make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament.

Yet, on Life ' s road we ' ve just begun. And we may part in Life ' s long run — Shall we be able to keep abreast, With fortune ' s gifts be equally bless ' d? You may be favored, maybe I, And one of us shall be passed by. I wonder, then if the leader will Remember the pal still climbing the hill And blind to that golden path ahead. Return to that toiling friend instead; Or will he, charmed by gold ' s false call. Run on and leave his pal to fall? Thus making the gap between us two So wide that neither I nor you Can ever hope to end our run Together — Pals — as ' twas begun. — Bruce Schlinkert. i mi$r 34 THE CLARION First Row , left to right — Floyd Wilson, Russel Guildenstein, Gerald Edgette, Bradford Potter, John Osborne, Joseph DesGrossiliers, William Ash.

THE CLARION 35 The Junior Class of 1926 The Junior Class of 1926 comprises thirty-five members. During its Freshman year it had forty-five and during its Sophomore year fifty. Our class has been well represented in athletics. This year we had five boys on the basketball team and five on the football team. Two of the girls were members of the basketball team, which had a very successful season. In our Sophomore year Eldon Wuest won the Declamatory Contest and this year he won the Oratorical Contest. Our class also formed a Literary Club during its Sophomore year but this has been discontinued. We can also boast a member on the Debating team who is showng fine prospects in public speaking. Our class has given various parties, and is campaigning for papers as a means of raising money. We have had a candy sale once a month, sold frost-bites at basketball games, and given dances on Friday nights after the games, all of which help in making up our fund for our Senior year.

We had a delightful sleigh-ride and a party in the gymnasium. We began our Sophomore year by sponsoring a benefit movie, which proved a tremendous success. The only social affair this year was our Sophomore party. We take this opportunity to thank our class advisors, Miss Muhlitner and Mr. Gerke, for their wonderful assistance and co-operation.

Secretary-T reasurer Representatives . . Faculty Advisor . James H. Ottaway . William Ewart ..Marion Pierce Annie MacIntyre George Meno . .Miss Lucy Hainbecker The first social function was a cpmbination of dancing and games. This was held in the gymnasium in October. It was attended by a great many of the class, and was pronounced a great success. In March the members of the class participated in another party. Those who were present will never forget how Mr. Kitzmiller and Mr. Bachellor were inveigled into kissing the “Blarney Stone” (made of salt). The class is greatly indebted to Miss Hainbecker, Class advisor, who has al- ways met with the class, advised it, helped it, and has been of great assistance in many ways. The class has always done good school work, has had excellent school spirit ' and graduates into its sophomore year with the intention of maintaining through out its High School career, the record it has made during the school year of 1925 - 26 . 44 THE CLARION First Row , left to right — Margaret Hendrick, Bernice Elz, Nettie Parker, Margaret Cassidy, Jean Lang ' ell, Pauline Davis, Lucille Butlin, Lucille Vossen, Dorothy Simons, Pauline Kahler.

This year as Eighth graders we have had Miss Weinman as our class advisor. We are proud of our record in scholarship, having held the banner twice for highest percentage for the month in Junior High School, and having won the Scholarship Cup for the first semester. We had a candy sale December 3, 1925 in order to raise money to put our picture in the annual. We hope that the school may expect great achievements from us in the future. President Vice-President .

Secretary-T reasurer Marvel Singleton Alice Walters Annie MacIntyre THE CLARION 47 Girls ' Athletic Association HE Girls ' Athletic Association of the Saint Clair High School was organized in September 1922. This was the first attempt at the formation of a club for girls taking part in gymnasium work. It has been very active since that time and has proved a very successful organization. There is just one requirement, this is that no girl can become a member if she is below the sixth grade in school. At the present time we have seventy members in the association. The dues for membership are ten cents per month and membership from September until June. Any girl that is not a member of the Association cannot belong to any varsity team , either baseball, basketball or track. There are two meetings held each month, every other Monday night. In the first meeting our business affairs are talked over and taken care of, but the second meeting is wholly for social activities and each one is made very enjoyable by refreshments and games. It has been the custom each year since the club was formed to give a May Festival. This consists of speaking and dancing parts by the girls of the club. This is always very successful having cleared eighty-five dollars last year. This year instead of giving the usual May Festival, we have decided to change this custom and give a June Festival instead. This will be carried out on the same plan as other years. So far this year our only activity has been a circus put on by the members of this Association and the Commercial Club. This consisted of a circus parade or rare animals, never seen before and probably never seen again, with many daring acts such as tight rope walking and bareback riding. This was made more realistic by use of a sawdust ring and the selling of pink lemonade. Everyone said it was a great success and the girls of both clubs received many compliments for their work. Another activity planned for this year is a May breakfast which is to take place during the month of May. This is to be held at Langell ' s Restaurant at 6:30 on a Monday morning. This is the first time anything like this has been held, and the girls are working hard to make this a success. The girls of the Association take this opportunity to thank Miss Mowrer for her aid in making a success of this club for the four years she has been in St. Clair. We also wish all success to the lower grades, which when we graduate, shall rise and fill our places. 48 THE CLARION First row, left to right — Gilbert Thomson. Francis Murray.

Mr. WILLARD ' S HI-Y Our group started with twelve members in 1922, with Ralph Pelton and Charles Moore as leaders. Several delegates from this group were present at the State Older Boys ' Conference at Saginaw. As a beginning, the group was a success. During the next two years the group was under the leadership of Ernest Gerke, with Nelson Armstrong as president. The group did more these two years in the way of discussions, also in it ' s representations at the State Con- ferences. The last year, 1926, the group flourished under W. A. L. Willard ' s leadership, with Francis Mupay as president. Only four members were present at the State Conference this year, but they brought back much of the group. Although six members graduate this year, we hope that the activities will still be carrried on and each succeeding group be more successful.

Y” GROUP This Y group was first organized in the fall of 1923, under the leadership of Mrs. Lucile Hilbert. Nine girls composed the group, but no formal name was given it. The following year, under Miss Alice Howe, the same nine girls again organized. This time seven new girls were taken into the group. Meetings were held every Tuesday night. Officers were elected, Eunice McMullen, president, Evelyn Watson, vice-president, Rowena McNally, secretary and treasurer. A constitution was drawn up and ratified by all the girls. In Sep- tember of 1925 a few of the girls were missing. New girls were taken in, and Miss Howe again was chosen for leader. The name of T. N. T. was relected by the group. This past year has been the most successful of all with a fine membership and marked attendance. The group has been and is working hard on a Vocational Guidance Fund, which will provide a man to interview the students and help them to decide their life ' s work. The group is trying to forward their ideals and aid themselves through service to others. This “Y group has brought about a feeling of good-will and comradeship among the girls. It has brought them closer together and formed friendships that will last forever. A large percentage of the girls of this group were graduated in June and took with them many memories, of which, some of the pleasantest are the Thursday nights spent at Y”. 50 THE CLARION First Row , left to right — Annie Britz, Phyllis Robertson, Hazel Meiselbach, Mabel Westrick, Carol Delor, Alice Walters, George Smith, Eunice McMullen, Mary Kennedy, Bernice Blakie.

THE AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION HE Agricultural Association was formed in the Fall of 1922, under the leadership of Mr. F. Adolph, and was the first organization of its kind in the New High School. Its motto is, For the Best Interests of Agriculture. The organization, numbering twenty, is the only group composed of Rural students. Its aim is to make the country students more at home while attending High School, and the social activities of the club also form an im- portant part of the school life of its members. Last fall, the Aggies held a Cider Social and candy sale at the Gleaner Hall on the Hart Road. Later they gave a dinner to the farmers who attended the Farmers Institute held at the High School. The Agg. Association has sponsored and aided in sending a judging team to East Lansing each year. The Association is active in all school activities, both inside and out, as well as farm activities. Join the Aggies and Have Fun.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB HE Commercial Club, which was organized last October for the purpose of encouraging a social spirit among commercial students, and of promoting interest in the business world, is fast taking its place as an important member of the various school organizations. At the present time, any person who is enrolled in any one or more of the commercial subjects is eligible for membership in the Club, which now consists of twenty-five students. A business meeting and a social meeting have been held every month. The Commercial Club Thanksgiving Dinner and the Circus, which was given jointly with the Girls Athletic Association, have been prominent features of the year ' s program. The Club s share of the Circus proceeds were used to purchase a victrola for the benefit of the typewriting classes. Typing to music enables the student to acquire rhythm, speed, and accuracy in his work. It also aids in promoting interest in commercial classes. The officers of the Club are as follows: President Annie Britz Vice-President Hazel Meiselbach Secretary and Treasurer Fay Stein The members of the Club wish to extend their sincere thanks to Miss Mary McIntyre, our Faculty adviser and express their appreciation for her kind advice and assistance. 52 THE CLARION First Row , left to right — Eunice McMullen, Bernice Blakie, Sophia Machleid, Mabel Westrick, Gladys Wenning, Charlotte Burke, Gwendolyn Markle, Madeline Johns, Eugenia LafFrey, Florence McMillan, Minnie Hendricks.

THE CLARION 53 DRAMATICS CLUB The Dramatics Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Mildred Travis — instructress of Public Speaking. Since September, it has been a busy organization. Two one-act plays were given before the Assembly. One — Sauce for the Goslings ' the other — Not Quite such a Goose. Sauce for the Goslings was chosen as the best play, but Not Quite Such a Goose, having been presented by the best, was given that same night before the Parent-Teachers Association. The characters of each play were selected from the membership of the club. Another one-act play was entered in the Literary Contest — Susan ' s Em- bellishments. The plot was woven around the following characters: Susan Smith Nellie Wuest Jane Pratt Charlotte Burke Miss Wilcox Gwendolyn Markle Bill Smith Donald Distlerath The big play staged by the Dramatics was, Seventeen, a play in three acts. It was given Monday evening, June twenty-first. The Officers A re: President Vice-President . Secretary T reasurer Representatives Eunice McMullen Bernice Blakie Wallace Baubie William Ash Charlotte Burke Gwendolyn Markle DEBATING 1925-1926 The subject for debate this year was; Resolved, that the proposed twentieth amendment to the constitution of the United States should be adopted. Two teams, a negative and affirmative, were chosen from the Public Speaking Class to take part in the debates of the season. The members of the affirmative team were Bernice Blakie, Eunice McMullen, and Donald Distlerath. The negative team was composed of Gladys Wenning, Mary Kennedy, and Eldon Wiest. The first debate took place in St. Clair. St. Clair supported the affirmative; Marine City, the negative. The score was 2-1 in favor of Marine City. The second debate took place between St. Stephens High School and St. Clair High School. St. Clair again supported the affirmative and again lost 2-L In the third debate of the year, held in St. Clair, St. Clair had the negative and Memphis the affirmatve. In this debate the score was 3-0 in favor of St. Clair. The last debate of the season was between Rochester High School and St. Clair, at Rochester. For this debate a new team was chosen from the members of the negative and affirmative teams. The members of this team were Bernice Blakie, Donald Distlerath, and Eldon Wiest. St. Clair had the negative and won 2-1. Much of the success of the teams is due to the coach, Miss Travis. 54 THE CLARION First Row , left to right — Gertrude Carleton, Leah Droulard, Laura Parker, Emily Scharnweber, Ruth Knudstrup, Fern Autterson, Sophia Machleid, Fay Stein, Geraldine Simons, Rosamond Duchane, Florence McMillan.

B2 Y CROUP The B2 Y Group was organized in September 1925 with Miss Ruth Johnston as leader. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: President Minnie Hendricks Vice-President Florence McMillen Secretary-Treasurer Marie DuChene Representatives Mable Westrick Dorothy Vories The group is composed of Sophomore and Junior girls, numbering twenty. We hold our meetings at the homes of the girls on Thursday evenings at seven o ' clock and the meeting lasts until nine o ' clock. In order to raise money to have our picture in the annual we served supper to the delegates at an inter-town meeting held at the High School. Co-operating with Miss Howe ' s group we sold magazines subscriptions, the money for this was added to the vocational fund already started by Miss Howe ' s group last year. Both groups have worked hard making plans for a Mother-Daughter Banquet held during Mother-Daughter week, May 9 to 16. The girls of this group wish to thank Miss Johnston for the hearty interest and zeal which she has displayed in the organizing and the managing of the group. THE CLARION 55 Music USIC has a distinct place in the education and life of the young people of Saint Clair High School. The music department includes the Girls Glee Club of forty-five members. Boys Glee Club of eight members and High School Chorus of forty-five members. The Music Department deserves a great deal of credit for the effort they have put forth this year in making their productions successful. The chorus and glee clubs began their work this year under the direction of Miss Wienman who has made special efforts to stimulate a great interest in music. The first production from the Music Department was the cantata ' The Rose Maiden ' April 7, 1926. Solo work was taken by Mr. Walter Shaw, Mrs. Walter Bacon, Evelyn Watson and Donald Distelrath. The second production was the concert by the Girls Glee Club, April twenty- first. Both of these were a marked success. The Monday morning assemblies were entained on several occassions by the Glee Clubs and the programs were appreciated by the student body. Perhaps the most pleasing entertainment of the year was the operetta Yoko- hama Maid, May twentieth and twenty-first. One of the most important events of the year was the Musical Literary Contest on May sixth. The entrants were Donald Distelrath, violin solo; George Meno, cornet solo; Madalyn Johns, vocal solo; Eunice McMullen, piano solo. Mixed chorus and Girls Glee Club. BAND A band was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Story of Sarnia. The band was sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association. On April twelfth the band played several selections for the Association to show their progress. They marched on Memorial Day, May 30, and played several patriotic selections.

From the excellent showing made against the ‘Bathers, St. Clair High had well founded reasons to expect a more successful season than ' 24. Although outclassed, the locals put up a stubborn fight and Frendt and his team-mates found no easy task in running up a 34-0 score. St. Clair ' s showing may be better appreciated when it is known that Bay City Central suffered a 25-0 defeat at the hands of Mt. Clemens a little later in the season. Marine City vs. St. Clair (Away) The second game of the season, two weeks later (October 2) against the tradi- tional enemy of St. Clair proved the most disasterous of the year. On a mud and water covered field, Jacobi, the Marine flash, ran wild against us scoring thre e touchdowns. The local team seemed lost, and not once threa- tened the victors ' goal line. The score 18-0 was the worst defeat we had suffered from the down-river squad for a number of years. Fortunately this was the only slump of the season and afterward the team played good football. THE CLARION 61 Algonac vs. St. Clair (Home) Algonac, the County Champions of 1924, came to St. Clair October 9th. expecting a walk-away but found almost to their sorrow that they had made a mistake. Holding the fast and heavy Algonac squad to a standstill for the whole game, St. Clair ' s line was remarkable. In the third period Wiest standing behind his own goal line kicked to Warner, who receiving the punt on the 25 yard line re- turned the ball behind perfect interference for the lone ma rker of the game. It was a lucky break for the down-river team and the outcome was a 6-0 defeat for St. Clair. Yale vs. St. Clair (Home) The following Friday, Yale played at St. Clair. The game was the best during the season and from the very first the outcome was doubtful. Yale began a whirlwind game which resulted in a touchdown early in the opening period: the try for point however was missed. The home team tightened down, and in the second period Wilson carried the ball over for a touchdown, tying the score. Wiest drop-kicked the extra point which gave us a victory. St. Clair ' s backfield made large gains on end runs and off-tackle plays, making four times the yardage made by the Yale backs. Score 7-6. Croswell vs. St. Clair (Away) On October 23, St. Clair journeyed to Croswell to avenge the 46-0 defeat of 1924. Relying entirely upon passes, St. Clair gained a 7-0 victory. The Croswell team was caught asleep, and after only three minutes of play Wilson shot a long pass to Beck who ran twenty yards for the touchdown. Wiest ' s toe again added the extra point. The home team completed pass after pass with either Shovan or Beck on the receiving end, but Croswell always held at the telling moments and St. Clair was unable to put across another touchdown. The St. Clair linemen played an excellent game and Gilbert of Thumb fame made only small gains whenever he crashed the line. Capac vs. St. Clair (Away) Although the score does not denote it, St. Clair ran wild against Capac the following Friday afternoon. Having a reputation as one of the fastest and heav- iest teams of the county, they showed but one quality and that was weight. Capac scored on a pass in the first minutes of play but failed to add the extra point. St. Clair began a series of end runs which netted touchdowns in the first and third quarters; Wilson carrying the ball over both times. Both points after touchdown were missed, and the score at the close of the game was 12-6 with St. Clair on the long end. St. Clair gained from ten to fifteen yards on every end run attempted, but owing to much fumbling many scoring chances were lost. 62 THE CLARION Richmond vs. St. Clair (Away) Although St. Clair s eleven lost to Richmond High by a 6-2 score, the Local boys really won a moral victory at Richmond November 6. On an extremely slippery field St. Clair ran circles around Richmond, gaining three times as much ground as the Macomb County team and playing the greater part of the game in their territory. Richmond gained possession of the ball on St. Clair s eight yard line as the result of a poor punt, and aided by a five yard penalty inflicted upon the St. Clair team, succeeded in putting the ball near the goal line, which was called a touchdown. In the fourth period St. Clair worked the ball across the Richmond goal line only to have it returned by another penalty. No matter how good a team is, it can ' t win without a square deal from the official in charge of the lines, and surely that is what St. Clair failed to receive Marysville vs. St. Clair (Away) When St. Clair met Marysville they found surprising strength in that un- heralded team, and it was not until the final period that the game was decided. As usual a mud covered field was the setting for the conflict, and the home team found much trouble in getting started. The ball remained in mid-field for the greater part of the game and it was not until the last period that any real action was noticeable. In this quarter Wiest made a perfect pass to Beck, who receiving it in the midst of Marysville players squirmed and dodged his way to a touchdown — ;probably the prettiest play of the season. The try for point was missed. Marysville soon after came into a scoring position, but owing to the inability of their men to hold passes, lost it. As the final whistle blew St. Clair was well on their way to another touchdown, but the final score was 6-0. This victory placed us just below Algonac in the final League standing, who, by the way stood at the head. In all, the season was quite successful, and it is the opinion of the writer that the team of ' 26 with many veterans back will do big things. Basketball The 1926 Basketball Team proved to be one of the most successful to ever represent St. Clair High. Meeting Mt. Clemens in a pre-season game, St. Clair, although losing showed great prospects and proved very good opposition for the Bathers; also the defeat of Marine City in the first County game gave a fighting spirit to the team which it held throughout the season. Although playing an extremely heavy schedule the home team held up very well as may be seen by the scores. Toward the middle of the season St. Clair suffered the loss of two valuable men and showed signs of weakening, but fortun- ately the team soon came back to its old form.

After playing all the scheduled games with the exception of two with Marys- ville which would decide the County Championship, Coach Gerke entered his quintet in the District Tournament at Mt. Clemens. Grosse Pointe who proved to be the Locals ' first victim, were easily eliminated in a one-sided game. The following night Algonac met the victors and only after a hard struggle was St. Clair able to gain a one point victory over the down-river squad. Marine City also worked its way into the finals and so St. Clair once more met their rivals and proved to them which team was the better. This game was hard fought but St. Clair had the edge on their opponents throughout. The week following the winning of the District Tournament, the home team journeyed to Detroit City College to play in the Regional Tournament being held there. Drawing St. Fredericks of Pontiac as the first opponent, St. Clair had an easy time the first night of play, but Oxford proved too much the following night and managed to defeat the Local squad by one point. This put S. C. H. S. out of the Tournament, but they had the satisfaction of knowing that Oxford won the meet on the next night by a margin somewhat greater than one point. On Thursday evening, April 8, St. Clair met Marysville at the latters ' new gym. This game if won by S. C. H. S. would decide the County Championship. The game was probably the best of the season and the outcome was more or less in doubt until the final whistle. St. Clair played good ball although their shooting was rather erratic, and managed to keep a one or two point lead through the greater part of the game. With only about one minute to go, the three point lead held by St. Clair was reduced to one when a Marysville forward caged a 64 THE CLARION ' long-tom’. The Locals however saw to it that no More of these were made and the game ended with St. Clair on the right end of a 12-13 score. In winning the County Basketball Championship, the team of 1926 accom- plished something which former teams had almost but not quite done. With only two players, Murphy and Schlinkert, graduating in June the 1927 squad should again lead the County in basketball. Position Total Points D. Murphy L. Forward 199 F. Wilson R. Forward; L.

BASEBALL— 1926 St. Clair s hope of a championship baseball team was wrecked by those bugbears of all coaches — ineligibility and dropping out of school. Although a large number of candidates went out for the various positions, the majority were inexperienced and Coach Gerke availed himself of the opportunity to develop promising recruits for next season. The first game with Algonac ended in a defeat for the home team. The schedule was: April 23 — St. Clair at Algonac May 4 — Yale at St. Clair May 7 — St. Clair at Marysville May 21 — St. Clair at Capac May 28 — St. Clair at Marine City 66 THE CLARION First Row, left to right — Edith Joachim, Marvel Singleton Gladys Wenning, Rosamond Duchane Second Roto— Phyllis Robertson, Minnie Hendricks, Miss Mowrer, Marion Callen, Annie Britz.

Four more games were scheduled for the year, and we were more successful with those so that we had a chance to win the cup, which was played for at the County Athletic Field Meet at Tashmoo Park, June 11th. Last year the baseball team had the good fortune to win the County Cham- pionship even though they did lose the cup, suffering defeat by the Marine City players at Tashmoo, 19-18. This year we worked to receive the same honors as last years team and also get the cup for 1926. 68 THE CLARION A Power Plant at Night Etched out in bold relief against the sky The towers and turrets of the building stand.

' JVtttWtti 74 THE CLARION History of Saint Clair Public Schools N the twentyffirst of May, 1858, St. Clair Fractional Union School District met in the courthouse with Dr. Harmon Chamberlin, who was the first mayor of St. Clair, called to the chair. Dr. George L. Cornell was elected secretary of the board. The following officers were elected, John E. Kitton, Moderator; Bela W. Jenks, Director; and Chester Carleton, Assessor. H. H. Mather, clerk of the board of school inspectors, had given proper legal notice to the 382 qualified voters as follows: ' To the District Board of St. Clair Fractional Union School No. (1) one of the city of St. Clair. The undersigned legal voters of St. Clair request you, in pursuance of section (12) of the primary school law to call a special meeting of said district for the purpose of designating a site and raising money to build a union school house in said district and such other legal business as may come before the meeting. St. Clair, May 31st, 1858. (Signed) Obed Smith, R. H. Jenks, Jas. Harrington, D. C. Vance, J. C. Cox. June 3rd, 1858, a special meeting was held at which the following resolution was adopted : ' ResoIved that a committee of three be appointed to consult with property owners of the city for a site for a schoolhouse and report at an adjourned meeting. Carried. Harmon Chamberlin, Chester Carleton and William St. Clair were appointed the committee. Two sites were offered. Timothy Barron, 2nd, to wit, blocks 41, 42, 21 and fractional block 22 for the sum of $1200. Mr. Hodson offered about three acres for the same sum. Mr. Barron ' s offer was accepted at the next board meeting, all members voting aye. The payments to Mr. Barron were to be $600 February 1st, 1859 and $600 February 1st, 1860. This land is the site where the new high school is now being built. September 27th, 1858, at the annual meeting these officers were elected, John E. Kitton, B. W. Jenks and Chester Carleton with William Grace, Henry Whiting, H. H. Mather and Harmon Chamberlin as trustees. Mr. Whiting was regent of the University of Michigan that year and well qualified to serve the schools of the city. The teachers hired for the school year were, William Campbell at $600, Threse E. Randall at $322, Julia A. King at $280, Mrs. William Campbell at $240. Miss Kate St. Bernard was hired to teach the Yankee St. School which was at that time part of the St. Clair district, for $2.00 a week. On June 7th, 1859, the salary of Mr. Campbell was raised to $700 and two department teachers hired if males, were to receive $400; if females, $320 and the primary and Yankee St. teachers were each to receive $200. At the annual meeting held September 26th, 1859, six trustees were appointed to establish high and graded schools as follows: John E. Kitton, Chester Carleton, B. W. Jenks, William Oakes, William Grace and Henry Whiting. At the annual meeting of 1860 it was moved by Harmon Chamberlin and supported by T. G. Collins that the district raise four mill tax on a dollar on the taxable property in the district for the purpose of building a schoolhouse. Ayes and Nays called with four of the latter. January 16th, 1861, Mr. Kitton produced a design for the new building drawn by Mr. Jordan of Detroit; and Mr. Whiting one, 70 x 30, two stories high. Mr. Kitton moved that the building seat at least 500 pupils and the cost should not exceed $6000. Henry Whiting and Harmon Chamberlin were appointed to agree upon the size of the building and number and size of rooms. February 13, 1 86 1 the board voted to accept the plan of building number 1 6 of the Treatise on THE CLARION 75 Country Schools Architecture by James Johnounot, the building to accommodate 300 or 400 pupils. At the September annual meeting 1861 George L. Cornell and William Grace were appointed building committee for the new high school The building was soon under way, it having been voted at this meeting to raise $5,000 by bonds to run five years. Only four voted against it, eighteen for it. At a meeting of the school board of Fractional Union School District Number One of the city of St. Clair held at the office of William Grace the 16th of June, 1863, Present William Grace, B. W. Jenks, John L. Agens, and Joseph Cox the following record is given: At the request of Wesley Truesdail, Esq., the board visited the new schoolhouse built by said Trusdail for the said district and after examining the same returned to the said office and there upon motion it was voted that the said schoolhouse be accepted by the District and the matter of the account of said Trusdail for extras bestowed and done on said building be examined by the said board with said Truesdail and that whatever should be found due to said Trusdail for said extras be allowed as a just claim against said district and that in case the said board and the said district should be unable to agree as to the amount due, the subject should be referred to disinterested parties to be agreed upon for settlement and honorable adjustment being had in the contract between both parties. Signed, B. W. Jenks, Director. John German and C. W. Bailey worked on the building as did John Doner who was an interested watcher of the new building being built. June 16th, 1863, it was voted to accept the new building after the school board has inspected all the details. September 15, 1863, Silas Finn and Henry Whiting were appointed to select a site and the former to superintend the building of a schoolhouse at Yankee St. March 10th, 1860, the school library was placed in the office of William Grace and he was to receive $40.00 a year as librarian and for office rent. Upon the completion of the new high school the library was placed there in the office of Supt. N. H. Winchell, the first superintendent in the new high school. When the Ladies Library Association was organized in 1869 and the south room of the courthouse given for the use of the library the school books were removed there (in 1874) where they may be seen at present. Supt. Winchell received $800 a year and James McJennette $175 a year as janitor. George Carleton was to furnish wood, build fires and keep the Yankee St. School clean at $36 a year. July 5th, 1862, a clock was purchased of Barringer for $1.50. In 1865 Albert J. Chapman was hired as superintendent for $900; Miss Leonard for $360; Fanny Stone at $280; Clara Goffe $260; Jane E. Black $200; Anna Faux at $150; Mary Higley $180 and the janitor at Yankee St. $40. At the annual meeting September 18, 1865, the board voted all pupils are directed to provided them- selves with slates and pencils. In 1866 the salary of Supt. Chapman was raised to $1,000. Mary Oakes and Anna Faux were to receive $6.00 a week; Jennie Russell and Julia Smith each $4.50 a week. Upon the completion of the new school the two old schools were sold by the board. The Red School and land. Third and Mulberry streets, brought $760. It was used later for a barracks for the soldiers of the Civil War and afterward burned. The White schoolhouse on lot 161 North of Pine river was sold to John Nicol for $400. Mr. Nicol moved it to Main St. and fitted it for a home just north of his wollen mill. It has lately been stuccoed and looks well. St. Clair was the County Seat for fifty years from 1821 to 1871 when it was moved to Port Huron. September 1st, 1873. After some other business it was moved by B. W. Jenks, that the Board of Trustees be authorized and instructed to issue bonds of THE CLARION 77 said District — not to exceed $5,000 — said bonds to bear interest at a rate not to exceed 10 per cent — and to use the proceeds of said bonds in the purchase of the property being in the city of St. Clair known as the courthouse together with the block of land on which it stands, also the jail together with the half block on which it stands, the whole of said property to be purchased expressly for school purposes. The whole of the above was adopted by a unanimous vote The deal went through and January 3rd, 1874, the records show ' moved by R. H. Jenks that this board lease and fit up for the Common Council of the city of St. Clair all the first floor of the courthouse building except the rooms formerly known as the County Clerk ' s office — said lease to run five years for the sum of $200 per annum to be paid the first day of March every year. Carried by unani- mous vote February 2nd, 1874. Signed George Cornell ' In September, 1873, the courthouse and land was bought by the board of Trustees for $4,000, the Jail and land being included in the purchase. The latter was converted into a ward schoolhouse known as the Trumbull St. school and as such is used at present. The original appropriation of $5,000 was later increased to $6,000 to cover both purchase price and fitting up of buildings. While the population of St. Clair did not increase much owing to the fact that upon completing the school, our young people had to go to larger cities to secure livelihood, the pupils increased so that in 1880 the second ward two-story brick schoolhouse was built on a block (26) of land purchased from Anne Cham- berlin, daughter of the afore mentioned Dr. Harmon Chamberlin. The St. Clair County Press of June 24th, 1921, makes this statement. It is believed that the first National Flag ever raised over a schoolhouse in this country was in St. Clair in September, 1 887. It was made by four of the teachers, Martha Palmer, Hattie Waterloo, Lettie German and Clara Carleton. Mr. Josiah Smith, a member of the board was the originator of the plan. The bunting was purchased from Whiting 6- Son. Mr. Smith bought the pole and ball and paid for putting them up. The flag is now in the possession of A. A. Morse of Lansing. The flag was here on exhibition at the 1921 Centennial. It is a law now that every schoolhouse in the land shall fly Old Glory. In 1893 a two room wooden building was built on the high school grounds known as the Annex for the overflow of small pupils. And in 1920 it was necessary to have more room so a portable building was placed on the high school grounds and a room rented at the back of the Episcopal church. The question of building a new high school was voted on September 4, 1906, and June 23rd, 1908, and lost both times but carried at a special election February 19th, 1920, when $325,000 in bonds were authorized by the voters for that purpose. Owing to depression in business the bonds could not be sold at the rate originally authorized and a special election was held to allow payment of a higher interest rate. The proposition carried at the election which was held June 16, 1921. The contract for the new high school was let to the James O ' Sulli- van Sons Co. and signed on July 30th, 1921, and work on tearing down the old school commenced. Many former pupils visited the grounds to obtain souvenirs. The company began their preliminary work for the new building on the same day the contract was signed. There have been 521 pupils graduated at the High School, 27 of whom served in the Great World War. Miss Belle Palmer of the Class of 1876 has taught in the city schools for 28 years and in the County 41 years. Emeline Jenks (Mrs. B. F.) Crampton, Class of 1875.

Prior to that time a number of students completed the required courses, but due to the fact that diplomas were not being given at the time of their graduation, their names have often been excluded from the roll of graduates. Although these students did not receive diplomas they are as much Alumni of the St. Clair High School as those who followed them. ♦Stanley Waterloo Albert Edson ♦Alla Chamberlin-Johnston ♦Alex Young ♦Theobald Baird May J.

JEREMIAH JENKS, the only honorary member of the St. Clair High School Alumni, was born on the Bowman Road, (the house is not now standing,) north west of St. Clair, September 2, 1856. He is the son of Benjamin Lane Jenks and Amanda Messer, his wife. He attended St. Clair High School in the early 70s. was graduated from the U. of M. in 1878, won his master ' s degree in 1879, and L. L. D. in 1903. Previous to shis he attended the University of Halle in Germany where he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. He was married to Miss Georgia Bixler, August 28th, 1884 in Mt. Morris, III., where he taught until 1889, teaching at University of Indiana two years, then at Cornell University, N. Y. From 1899 to 1900 he held important offices in U. S. and Europe. In 1903 he was sent to Mexico and later to China by the U. S. government. In 1907 he was one of the Immigration Committee. In 1 90 1 -02 Dr. Jenks made a trip around the world in the interest of th e War Department. He holds the chair of Political Economy in New York University and is vitially connected with the Alexander Hamilton Institute in New York City. Dr. Jenks is an author and speaker of note not only in U. S. but in other countries. One writer states that his books would fill a small library. During the 1921 St. Clair County Centenial, Dr. Jenks was the speaker at several functions and was made honorary member of the Alumni at the annual meeting of that year. One writer states, the best thing about Dr. Jenks is that to look at him or talk with him, you would never guess him to be as big a man as he is. He is too modest for that. Dr. and Mrs. Jenks have three children, Ernest, Benjamin and Margaret and two grandchildren. Dr. Jenks is much interested in the St. Clair High School. — Emeline Jenks Crampton. February 1 0th, 1926.
