CLASS HISTORY About the beginning of September in the year 1918, a number of small, green, unso- phisticated, illiterate, group of human beings began to g ther about the brick structure, commonly called the schoolhouse. Their purpose there was vague, perhaps some of them had no purpose and if they did have a purpose there, they did not know it. Nev- ertheless they were there mingling With the more superior beings who did not appear to notce them. They were Freshmen-they were the class of 1922. They did not all sur- vive the hardships which confronted them in the way of Algebra, English, Geometry, Latin, Faculty and othe-r miscellaneous articles. As a result of this a number of. them fell by the waysideg some as Freshmen, some as Sophomores, and some as Juniors- and even Seniors. VVhat we h-ve left are probably the ones who started out in 1922 with a purpose. Our Freshman year, we regret to say, was rather a failure. Due to the efforts, or rather mis-efforts of Pat, alias Bernard Webb, since fallen by the wayside, we ac- complished nothing. We scarcely had a class meeting and never a party. At the end of the year, however, as is usually the custom, a good share of our Freshmen went to Crystal Lake and enjoyed a class picnic. Our Sophomore year, although judged so by some, was not a failure. lWith Russell Frank as president, we accomplished many things and rather woke up to the fact that we were alive as the rest of the cl1.sses.J We enjoyed one sleigh ride party during the winter. Arrangements were made to go to Bingham Grange hall, but owing to a severe snow storm during the day, we were unable to make the trip and had to re- sort to having our party at the school house. It was not altogether a failure after all. At the end of the year we again went to Crystal. At the beginning of our Junior year we elected Russel Frank as president of the class, and started things out with a rush. This was the year that the classes found out that we were not altogether a dead class. Thanks to the help of Mr. Rainey and Miss Hunt we were able to present Oliver Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer. It was a huge success and we realized a satisfactory pecuniary remuneration. NVe were also able to put on the first and we hope not the last Junior Hop in the history of the school. It was held at the Masonic Temple, April 5, 1921. Our annual, picnic was held at Crystal at the end of the year. At the time of this writing the Senior year is not complete. We have a class of about forty of about sixty or seventy who started as Freshmen. For the third and undoubtedly the last time, Mr. Frank was elected presi- dent. With John Zabelka as editor-in-chief and accumulation of other talent we have been able to put out the first year-book which has been published for a number of years. We c-we much thanks to the lower classmen, faculty, business men and others who have helped to make this book a success. At the present time we are making preparations to put on Shakespeare'5 Twelfth Night. Wlth the aid of Miss Hunt and a talented cast we hope to make this a success. -WOODBURY.

TURNBULL Class Patron LEWIS KELLY President DOROTHY ALLISON Vice-President ALBERT REES Secretary FRANCES BORON Treasurer REMINISCENSES 'Twas late in the fall of the year Nineteen Hundred Fifty-six, and after a hard day's work was finished, father was sitting by the fire smoking his pipe, when mother came in with her knitting. For a short time neither spoke, but their minds wandered back to a time when they were young and in school. Finally, between long puffs on his pipe, father broke the silence. Mother, I've jest been thinkin' of the time when we were in high school and the good old days them used ter be. Now, that's strange, Jamie. I've been thinkin' of the self-same thing myself. 'Twas a long time ago and when I drove to school and they called me a freshman. Most thirty-seven years ago, and I kin see it as plain as if it was yesterday. We, belonged to a mighty fine class, ef I do say it, and I ain't braggin' neither now, am I, Ma? No, no. That class always did what it set out ter do. Why, we had men on the foot ball team every year, an' good men, too. An not only that, Jane, but we backed 'em up on the side lines an' had lots of pep. There wan't no slackers in that class. I was sorry I couldn't go clear thru with 'em, but I sort of considered myself a member even when I quit. A good class. We never had such swell parties till we was Juniors and they was plannin' a banquet and a reception for the Seniors when Pa called me home to the farm. I tell you, Jane, I hated to miss them fer they was goin' to be real swell. That's past years ago, so they's no use mourning. Just remember the parties we had other years. A sleigh ride when we was freshmen, you remember, one load tip- ped over- 'Twill be a long time before I ferget that and the movie we went to all together, then out fer a treat, and then back fer a dance at the school house. Sure And we had a picnic when school let out. 'Twas a fine day We had that pic- nic on. Mother had dropped her knitting and was gazing into the fire. Then we had 'nother when we was Scphomores, and a dance in the middle of the year, and then, when the other fellows jined that Adelphic club, I wanted to jine, too, but I guess they thought I wasn't polished enough. That was too bad, but maybe you weren't. They didn't ask me to join the Olympics when I was a Junior either. Some were invited though and some were in the Junior play. Well, even if I did'n't get nut on any team or anything, we had folks on all the teams. football, baseball, track, basketball, debating, and they seemed ter get along perty Well. Father leaned over and emptied his pipe into the fire and nothing was said for a moment then mother finally said, I'd like to meet some of our old class-mates. I sup- pose they've all forgotten us. But, mother, even if they have we haven't them, and we know that We was mem- bers of a class we could well be proud of. -HART. V5 , - . .. -AQ, Alf - f f , Z f WZ fgfyxfa S L, A 2 x Q,,y MISS D. HO YT Class Patron CHARLES FOWLER President HELEN KEYS Vice-President ARLINE MOSHER Secretary 4 CHARLES LAKE Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY On the first day of September, 1920, we present Sophomores entered High School, eighty-five-strong, with the resoluticn following our Eighth grade motto: Don't stare up the steps, but step up the stairs. It was not long before a goodly number of the boys were stepping up the stairs at a lively pace, being urged thereto by switches in the hands of the up-per classmen while the girls were stepping no less lively in find- ing their various class roo-ms. When we assembled for our first class meeting the officers for the year were elected -President, Lawrence Clarkg Vice-President, Helen Stone: Secretary, Edna Murrayg Treasurer. Dan Keiser, and Class Patron, Mr, Divies. In later class meetings Verle McKin.try was chosen to represent the class on the Athletic Board and Helen Keys and Lawrence Clark on the Student Council. In turn with the other classes we put on a wonderful l?J assembly which was a source of great amusement to the upper classmen. During the year we contributed tvs enty dollars to the Hoover Relief Fund, and thirty- three dollars and seventy cents to the Alumni Scholarship Fund, from candy sales. Though only Freshmen We were well represented in Athletics for several in the class won credit for themselves and for us on the various teams. Amcng the most enjoyable events of our 'Freshman year was our class party in March, and at the close of the year, the picnic at Crystal. Thus we paszed through the usual joys and trials of Freshmen. In September, 1921, our Sophomore class entered school with the new dignity of our promction. The first event in our Sophomore lives was our class meeting at which we selected the following officers: President, Chirles Fowler: Vice-President, Helen Keysg Secre- tary, Arlizze Mosherg Treasurer, Charles Lake, and Class Advisor, Miss Hoyt. Verle McKin try was again elected to the Athletic Board and Edna Murray and Charles Ftwler were chosen to the Student Council. We again entertained the Assembly with a remarkable pantomime production of The Faculty and Maud Muller. A most enjoyable event of the year was the Sophomore annual class party which was held at the K. P. Hall on March 3. There are but a few weeks left of our Sophomore year. a year of hard work but with many yle sures. May we ever continue to step up the stairs: not stare up the steps. -HELEN STONE -vuxg '+-- gil., 'ir' -v- .C ' n 1 H!! SH FR Q 'YPA'- xv- R. .-4 xx xx .XY 1 x x .

Its members may be identified anywhere from Bruno's and Battery E armory to the Gym by their brightly smiling faces. They smile under all conditions and circumstances, trying to live up to their unwritten motto of Laugh and the World Laughs With You. This class, as you all know, has been condescendingly and scornfully dubbed, The Comedy of Er- rors, by the upper classes. But this is only one of the many trials we have cheerfully borne in our brief sojourn on this heavenly realm called High School,-or at least so it appeared to our awed eyes when vie ertered last September. We were glad to have the novelty of routine work after our weeks' of idleness during the summer. As school progressed, the novelty wore off but the routine remained. This was broken at last by the advent of our first class meeting. When we assem- bled we saw our cliss for the first time as a whcle or as an organization. Robert Scott, as presidentg Merril Pearl, as vice-presidentg Margaret Huey, as sec- retary. and Nolan Walker as treasurer, were elected as our officers. Mr. Francis vias chosen class sponsor and advisor, or rather, he himself informed us that he would act in this capacity. In fact, he said he had particular reasons of his own for wanting to keep his eagle eye upon us during our first year. On December 22, 1921. our class enjoyed a party at the Knights of Pythias hall. The evening went swiftly with games and dancing, and for once the repeated efforts of the older fellows to gain entrance to the Freshie party were in vain. After our return to the scene of action following Christmas, we were imbued with a new spirit and fervor, and decided to give an assembly. The committee consisted of Lester Bond, Robert Scott, Nolan Walker, and Isargaret Huey, assisted by Miss Bailey. Recitations by Robert Scott and a one-act playlet entitled, A Trip to Mauerj' were the main features and the program was concluded with music. We are proud of the part we played in Athletics this year. Our representatives on the different teams have wcn credit, both fcr themselves and the class. Taking us as a whole, we Freshmen wish to continue as we have started.-live- ly and full-of-fun, but always striving ahead toward that distant goal:- Graduation, NVe are confident that we have and in the months to come VVILL profit by our mistakes so that when we become full-fledged Scphomores our emerald tint will have entirely disappeared. What we are is good evidence of what we have been, and, in the Words of Byron, The best of prophets of the future is the past. -MARGARET E. HYEY. n......1.-........,..,, ,-Y,...m,,, . CHARACTER SKETCH OF MR. FRANCIS Mr. Francis says that he has no other reason than a wcman's reason, he thinks 'tis so because 'tis so. In sufte of his reasons Mr. Francis thinks, sometimes he lets the class do some thinking but very rarely. He is a many-sided person: he knows a lot about history. lc-t about econcmics, and a lot about literature. but as for Latin, he asks Miss Turnbull what Quo vadis meang. saying that he could get the literal translation, but not a free one. Of course that may be all right but people may think otherwise. Miss Turnbull is quite young, quite pretty so we think Mr. Francis has other reasons for asking her Quo vadis after school. However, t-hat may be, Mr. Francis shows excentional ability in telling stories, he takes great secret pleasure in making little shivers run up and down our vertebrae or making the south wind blow hurricanes down our necks. He is upright in his dealings with the pupils, altho occasionally ruffled into ruff- house stuff. We would advise him to refrain in the future, and remember he is a gentleman. As for debating and argumentation he is a wizard. Occasionally in history when the argument becomes heated he implcres us to open our minds to conviction. As for his own mind being open to ccnviction, he still thinks that the reason the Sahara desert is so dry is because there is no rain there. he will tell this to your face bravely, fear- lessly. and unmindful of consequences. He holds the same opinion on the theory of Relativity. Step into the school house any day and you will see him sitting behind his great desk official, his right leg cocked ever his left, and leaning back surveying the room with majestic benevolence, a true monarch of all he surveys. Or leaning over his desk pretending to be occupied with the ntegtal struggle. At regular intervals of five min- utes his head pops out of his collar like a mud-turtle, hoping to catch a glimpse of some miscreant in action. Did you ever see a mud-turtle dodging sticks? If you can imagine Mr. Francis doing this you will have an idea of his appearance. 0.

Owosso at St. Johns on September 23. The St. Johns Football team. covered with glory through its clean slate of 1921, opposing their unfzrgotten orponents of 1920, again lined rp before them on the local field for the first game of the reason. Showing a l ck of training on both sides, neith- er vuas in danger of being scored upon or scoring, and the fray ended 0-0. Ovid at St. Johns, on September 30. The St. Jc-hns spirited team well matched the husky team from the eastern city. Although Brenner and Shaver were unable to play, the team moved on just the same. Just after Kelley was taken out of the game. Roland Weller crossed the white line for the first touch-down of the season. Ken Jackson failed at goal. During the course of the game Jackson made a 70-yard run after catching a punt. In the last few mo- ments of play, an opposing backfield man broke through our line for a dreaded touch- down. Then, by their goal kick, squeezed another point, Score: Ovid, 7g St, Johns, 6. On account of the unfavorable weather the game of October Tth, with Itha.ca, was postponed. St. Johns at Mason, October 14th. Twenty men were taken to Mason for the victi-xy. Although our team was out- weighed, we made it hot for our opponents. Due to the faithful team and headwork of Captain Jackson, Clemons managed to tear his way around Mason's right end on a fake tickle-smash for a touch-down. Jackson kicked goal. In the second half several changes viere made in the line-up but no effective results occurred. Russ Frank sav- ed us from being scored upon by one of his famous tackles on an opponent who had in- tercepted a pass and ran 50 yards. Mason threatened Saint Johns twice, but only on account of two 15-yard penalties. St. Johns at Owosso on October 21st, The St. Johns aggregation and fans motored to Owosso to play off the tie game which occurred at the beginning of the season. Both teams were full of fight, espec- ially St. Johns, because they were there with a determination to win. St. Johns kicked to Owosso and held them for downs. Frank returned their punt 21 yards. In a smash off left tackle, Fitzpatrick, at left end, broke his collanbone which put him out for the rest of the season. The fumbles on the part of both teams. delayed the scoring in the first half. Owosso managed to complete a pass over St. Johns' goal in the first few minutes of play in the second half. The third quarter saw Frank run around right and by consistent playing, played up within three yards of Owosso's goal. Here, St. Johns opened a hole in Owosso's flank, Frank scoring. Shaver failed to kick goal. Shortly after the kickoff, with Owosso carrying the ball with more vigor than ever, St. Johns was saved from being scored upon by the timely tackle of Frank's. St. Johns held on her own 21-yard line and received the ball from Owosso on downs. Off a regular punt formation, Russ dashed around right end for ta touch-down. Shaver kicked goal. Score, Owosso 6 an-d St. Johns 19. St. Johns at Ionia on October 28th. St. Johns received the ball, Shaver catching, and dashing the full length of the field, scored the first touch-down in the first few minutes of play. St. Johns kicked to Ionia's 10-yard line. Shaver recovered a fumble and crossed the white line for a second touch-down. Both attempts to kick goal failed. Later in the game, Merillat caught a thirty-yard pass, making it possible for Frank, of St. Johns. to score the third touch-down. Shaver kicked goal. A short pass was intercepted by an Ionia left half and was carried 70 yards for their only touch-down. Ionia failed at goal. Thus the game ended. Score: Ionia 6 and St. Johns 19. Grand Ledge at St. Johns November 5th. Grand Ledge appeared on the St. Johns gridiron at 2:30 o'clock on Saturday after- noon. St. Johns received the ball and through consistent driving, carried the ball to the visitors' goal line, Weller taking the ball over. Goal kick failed. On the next kick-off, a fast Grand Ledge backfield man bewildered the St. Johns players, taking the ball the entire length of the field for a touch down. Their goal kick failed. Then the game resolved itself into a hard battle for both sides. By playing straight foot- ball, St. Johns was able to drive Grand Ledge to within a few yards of her own goal from where Russ Frank carried the pill over. Shaver kicked goal. Score: Grand Ledge 6 and St. Johns 13. St. Johns at Ovid November 9th, Highly aroused over the loud challenge of the Ovid team for a game, St. Johns took up the cry, and in a body, High-school students, towns-people, and St. Johns merchants, journeyed to Ovid on that memorable afternoon of the ninth of November. If a foot-ball team ever had support it was that day, there being more citizens of the Metropolis on the field than there were from the Village of the challengers. Al- though our neighbors played well for a bunch of clam-diggers, they were unable to find the ball when St. Johns tucked it avsay in a formidable water hole or under their arms for the necessary gains. All day the Villagers scraped the field of snow and slush. The clay exposed in the scraping came in handy. They all looked for a soft place to fall and they found it. St. Johns gave it to them. But they will probably have to be shown all over again next year. Won't that be terrible for them? The Game: St. Johns kicked off and in a rain of mud, Rome fell. You know Rome? St. Johns held Ovid in her own territory all of the first quarter. The second quarter opened with the ball in St. Johns' hands. Line smashes brought the ball within Ovid's 10-yard line and St. Johns broke loose for the first touch-down. Goal kick failed. St. Johns received the ball at the beginning of the second half and a series of punts resulted to open. Ovid tightened, but she broke a. wing in her aerial attack and Shaver intercepted a pass, carrying the ball 40 yards for a second touch-down. Goal was kicked and the scoring ended. Ovid, much to their chagrin, was held in her own territory for the rest of the game. St. Johns penalties amounted to 60 yards, all for holding. The game was hard fought, harder than the score indicates. Ovid was game, but St. Johns had the BEST team. The score: Ovid 0 and St. Johns '3. Ithaca at St. Johns Armistice Day. Another whitewash for the Jonsites. St. Johns received the ball and hurried it across the field for the first touch-down. Shaver kicked goal. Seven points were all that St. Johns could garner in the first half. but in the second the machine was thrown into high, and away St. Johns went. It was getting dark and all were afraid they wouldn't get through in time. Even Ithaca seemed to sense their strategical posi- tion and allowed St. Johns to score almost at will in the last few minutes of the game. St. Johns scored off any formation presented and the end of the game saw the largest score of the season for the home team, another whitewash. The score: Ithaca. 0 and St. Johns 40. Alma at St. Johns, November 18th. St. Johns seemed to have acquired the habit of starting things off with a rush. St. Johns won the toss and chose to receive. Frank peeled a touch-down off the truck- makers in short nc-tice. Then Alma got their big guns and held like the Forts of Verdun for the remainder of the half. But in this case Verdun had to give in and St. Johns crossed their goal line once more before time was called. A spectator at this game picked John Zabelka for the third All-State team, at his position at right tackle. The way the line and backfield of the team had been working in the past few games had put it in the running for state champion in Class B Schools. This Alma game with the score in St. Johns' favor, strengthened the position more than ever. The score: Alma, 03 St. Johns, 14, Immediately after the Alma game, St. Johns issued a challenge to the State for a game for the Championship of all Class B. Schools. Some discussing and cussing re- suited between Ovid and St. Johns on the grounds that St. Johns presented her claims and it was sometime before our little neighbor would admit that she belongs down with the C'ers. Greenville accepted the challenge of St. Johns and it was agreed to play the game off on Thanksgiving Day. Greenville vs. St. Johns for the Championship of the State. Thanksgiving Day opened cold and rainy. Greenville team appeared as scheduled. The game: Greenville wcn the t:ss. choosing to receive, The feature for the first half was a pass, Jackson to Clemons, which carried the ball to within four yards of Greenville's goal, where it rested as the half closed. Bcth teams entered the second half with more determination than ever. Hard playing took the ball down the field for St, Johns in the second half and from the 25-yard line on a fake punt formation, Frank skirted the left end of the.line, behind perfect interference and crossed the limey line, fo-r six points. Greenville's'tank attack was failing. And it Wasn't long after that, that St. Johns, signaling for a free catch. was tackled, netting 15 yards. Another penalty netted St. Johns 15 more. Tvo spectacular passes brought the ball up to Greenville's one-yard where they seemed to stand like a stone Wall. St. Johns put her stone-crnsher to work and the road was paved as far as the line. The locals scored just as the whistle blew ending the season for St. Johns. The score: Greenville, 0: St. Johns 14. K i -- D T: ,::' :if ' - 3:51 .,.. 1921 BASEBALL. The same team which had wcn the Championship of the County for the last two years entered the field. By virtue of their wins of 1919 and 1920. the locals were in an excellent position to cop off the cup given to the first Clinton County High-School team to Win three successive years. The High-Schools taking part in the schedule were Ovid, Elsie, Maple Rapids, Dewitt, Fowler and St. Johns. The schedule, as drawn up by V Secretary Avery Rand. together with the scores as they concerned Saint Johns, were as follows: Apr. 29-Elsie ........ 2 May 3-Maple Rapids 5 May 9-Fowler ...... 1 May 13-Ovid ........ 4 May 31-Maple Rapids 0 Winning all their games in the County St. Johns St. Johns St. Johns St. Johns St. Johns Schedule 6, at St. Johns. 19, at Maple Rapids. 18, at St. Johns. 3, at Ovid. 7, at Maple Rapids. except the one with Ovid, which went ten innings. and because Ovid lost to other teams in the Teague. the cup was given to St. Johns as a iermanent fixture to the long list of laurels won by St. Johns' athletes in years gone by. Besides the above games played in the League, St. Johns took on some stronger teams, The game between the High-School and the American Legion resulted in a win for the Legion. The score was S to 4. Defeated twice by Ithaca to the tune of 3 to 1, and 7 to 6, and winning from Port- land 3 to 1, made up the remainder of the season'S Baseball activities, 5 TRACK MEETS OF 1921. The 1921 season vias successful for the Track Team. St. Johns won two meets out of the four in which she took Dart. In the other two meets she Dlaced third in one and in-dividual scoring in the meet at M. A. C. Much of her success is due to the ef- forts of the coach. lV.r. Davies. who develored a winning team out of raw material. With the material on hand St. Jchns looks forward to a successful season in 1922. Owosso at St. Johns-May 20, 1921. In the dual meet with Owosso, St. Johns scored nearly twice as much as their op- ponents, thus retaining possession of the silver cup offered by St. Johns. County Track Meet-May 28, 1921. In this meet St. Johns easily outdistanced the other competitors and retained pos- session of the cup offered by the County Y. M. C. A. State lnterscholastic-June 4, '921. Only two members of the team were able to place in this meet because of the bad conditions under which the last meet was carried out. Saginaw Valley Meet-June 11, 1921. In the invitation meet at Owosso, in the competition against Class A Schools, St. Johns was able to place third, regardless of the fact that two of her men were not present at the meet. l I BASKETBALL There has been a trend of High-School fans' opinion that our team made a total failure in basketball during the season of '21 and '22, But on the contrary it was a success as far as games are concerned. First, the rough floor which they practiced upon did not compare with the polished floors of their opponents. A team should practice upon a floor corresponding to the floor on which the game is to be played. Second. there were only a fem experienced players who produced the goods when it came to a final show-down. Sha. ting baskets was not a St. Johns specialty, but when it came to relaying the ball across the floor and dodging, we will have to acknowledge some dexterity. Even though the big schools did win, the High-School backed up the team as it should. Brenner and McKinstry made a good showing after being initiated to the tac- tics of basketball. Holt was kept out of the game because of illness after the first few days of practice. PLAYERS Mc-ore, R. F., Captain. Stead, L, G. Clemons, L. F. Sub.- Jackson, C. Brown, F. lVlarrillat, R.

Several possible names for the society were discussed, but at length the name Olym- pic was decided upon. The memberfhip of the Society consists of either Junior or Senior girls who have the best scholarship in their classes, Its object is two-fold: First, to improve its individual members by encouraging and training literary effort, second, to promote the best interests of the school by main- taininghigh standards in morals and scholarship. Regular meetings are held every Wednesday of each alternate week. These meet- ings are at all times open to the members of the Faculty who have all the rights and privileges of the members. Since the Society was organized there have been owne hundred and thirty members. At present there are only sixteen members.

B. THE ADELPHIC SOCIETY The purpose of the Society is to train its members in debating and parliamentary law. Membership in the society is restricted to thirty students and the male members of the facultyg the only requirements imposed upon students who wish to become members of the Society are that they are passing in their subjects and are not Fresh- men. The school year' is divided into three society terms, new officers being elected each term. The first term ends with the Christmas vacation, the second ends at the spring vacation and the third runs until the end of the year. It has become the cus- tom to always choose the president from among the Senior members of the Society. Before the organization of a public speaking class. members of the high school de- bating teams were picked from the Adelphic and Olympic Societies. Teams represent- ing these societies debated in assembly, the losing society giving the banquet, sleigh ride, or some good time to the winners. In 1919 the Olympics won the debate and the Adelphics gave the Olympics a sleigh-ride the last day of the first semester. In March the Olympics gave the Adelphics a return banquet at the Masonic Temple. During the year 1919-1920 the Adelphics raised money for the Scofield memorial tablet and on September 14, 1921, the anniversary of the death of Howard Scofield, dedicated and placed it at the base of the Scofield elm. In the fall of 1920 the Adelphics again debated the Olympics in assembly and this time were victorious. The Adelphics are still Waiting for' the Olympics to pay their debt of honor for being defeated. This year the Adelphics have, in addition to their regular meetings, put on two joint meetings with the Olympics. Both of these meetings have been snappy and full of fun and instruction for everyone. March 17 the Adelphics put on The New Ham- let, a comic mixture of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet brought up to date. The cast was: HAMLET .............. ....

Junior-Senior Reception, 1921. Immediately following the Commencement exercises at the Congregational Church, the annual Junior-Senior reception was held in the church parlors, June 22, 1921. After delightful refreshments had been served to the Seniors, their parents, the Faculty, and the Juniors, a short program was given with Russell Frank acting as toast- master.

The Junior Quartette furnished the music. Turkey Dinner. Soon after the exciting game with the 'fcultured city east of us, in which St. Johns scored 13-0, Mr, R. G. Allison, and Mr. A, E. Wilson entertained our champions, subs and men members of the Faculty at a ''never-to-be-forgotten turkey dinner held at the Allison home on Oakland street, November 17, 1921.

Chocolate ice cream footballs were served as desert. But to crown the event, a huge birthday cake, holding nineteen candles was set before Captain Kenneth Jackson, the occasion being his birthday anniversary. Football Banquet.
