Seven STURGENSIAN PATRIOTISM Patriotism—love of country—devotion to our native land—is tlie spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice which inspires men and women to he good citizens. Love of country is not, and never has been, confined to one people or even one era. It is a universal feeling of the human heart. Three thousand years ago a band of noble Spartans held the pass at Thermopylae and died to a man to save Greece and a new civilization from Persian despotism. Again during the great World War millions of men of nearly every nation fought and died bravely to save the world from the dominating power of Germany. But to give their lives for their country is the least part of what men. have been willing to do for her. It has been the cheerful sacrifice of the things that make life worth living, the eager endurance of things far worse than death, which shows the mighty power love of country holds over men. Wealth has been given up, sacrifices have been made, the sympathy and love of home abandoned. Patriotism is a character¬ istic of every good citizen, one who serves his country either in defend¬ ing it from invasion, or protecting its rights and maintaining its in¬ stitutions. The American people have many problems to solve, many threat¬ ening evils to fight, and many deeds to do, if. as we hope and believe, we have the courage and virtue to do them. We must neither surrender ourselves to foolish optimism, nor become the subjects of ignoble pes¬ simism. We shall never achieve true greatness nor reach the lofty ideal which the founders and preservers of our republic have set be¬ fore us unless we are Americans in heart and soul, spirit and purpose, keenlv alive to the responsiblitv implied in the very name American, mid proud beyond measure of the glorious privilege of bearing it. We Americans can onlv do our alloted dutv well if we face it steadily, see¬ ing but not fearing dangers. Above all, we must co-operate, working together all in all for the honor and greatness of our beloved country. The hardest thing in the world to do is to love America. “Why.” you will say, “that is the easiest thing to do.” Well, it all depends upon the meaning vou applv to the word love. If you mean a warm sort of glow and pride, delight, in the fact that vou are an American, an exciting lift to vour heart-strings when the band plavs “The Star Spangled Banner,” and a general conviction that vou would rather be an American than of any other nationality. I agree with vou that it is easv. But that is not all; soon, in a few vears. the vounger generation of todav is going to have America in its keeping. The boys and girls of todav will be the governors, congressmen. Presidents, and voters of tomorrow. According to what they are and what they do, America will be. Tf w n really love her. we will give her the best we have. The bov or g-irl who grows up thinking onlv of what America is going to give to him or her, does not love America. We can not all be leaders, but from among us must be chosen the leaders and guides. It will be we, the boys and girls of todav. who shall decide whether or not America will be true to the ideals, which have led her in the past. Our ancestors have done their dutv faithfully and well in the past. The question now is before us: Shall we do as well in the future? Ldyttt Sttf rf r.

S. we leave, To each new phase of life we cleave. But when we sail o’er far-off seas, Blown by some fitful, mellow breeze, We’ll think of you, O, Sturgis High And hold you dear until we die. li yj But now ’tis time for us to part, To sip of life, both sweet and tart, To tread our alloted paths alone Up steep hills, o’er cliffs of stone, Until we’ve reached Success—our aim! And try to play a square, clean game. Thus Life will charge each throbbing heart: “You have your share—can you do your part?” So now farewell, 0 School so dear, Our time to leave is drawing near; But when we’ve drifted far away We’ll ne’er forget you, or this day. As now we seek our new estates, New companions, friends and mates, Calling back while echoes mock: “Pax vobiscum, Pax .. . .Pax.. . .Pax!” Arthur B.

Here’s to her sons, who do or die, Here’s to our athletes clean, Here’s to our High School, reverenced name, Bright as the stars above. Here’s to all we proudly claim, Here’s to the school we love. Chorus : Oh Sturgis High, dear Sturgis High, Where’er we chance to roam, Thy honored name, we’ll crown with fame, And dream of thee and home. These happy days will leave a haze, That through the future years, Brings thought of you, so good, so true. Which fills our eyes with tears. Brings thought of you, so good, so true, Which fills our eyes with tears. Here’s to our State, our grand old State, Here’s to her lakes and streams, Here’s to the ones that make her great, Here’s to her poets’ dreams. Here’s to the place that we call home, Hurrah for each girl and boy; Here’s to the fields we love to roam, Filling our hearts with joy. Edward Everhart, ’24 STURGENSIAN i X; f :$ SALUTATORY In the distance could be seen a shapeless ol)ject. Through the mist and haze the figure plied its way, fearless of wind and rock. Across the heaving sea it rose and fell with the steady throbbing of the bil¬ lows. Four long hours the anxious crowd waited on the shore. At times the ship seemed powerless. Helplessly it swayed in the arms of the tempestuous ocean. Suddenly the Pilot with courage of a martyred saint rushed forth with a banner. ‘ ‘ ‘ Onward! ” he cried, ‘ ‘ (Inward! ’ ’ Nearer and nearer it came. The challenge gave it renewed vigor to part the angry waves. With obscure vision you could see the ship with many passengers coin¬ ing through the fog. Like magic the foaming waters stretched them¬ selves into glassy smoothness. As the mist fa des away we recognize the passengers to lie the class of 1925. As we disembark one by one we are greeted with a hand¬ clasp. We are joyful and gay. We are glad to join the throng for we are now prepared to finish life’s journey. There is a reason for our happiness. In this group of friends we see Our Parents, Friends, the Superintendent and the Members of the School Board and Faculty, our Lower Classmen and the Alumni. We begin at once to realize how much our success has depended on you. We have waited four years for our Crowning Moment. Nothing pleases us more than to have you share our ecstacy of joy. Bienvenu! Soyez le bienvenu! Welcome to you all. Parents, you have made our education possible. Through sacri¬ fice you have given us all the pleasures that accompany high school life. To you we are most grateful and we welcome you with heartfelt thanks. We wish also to salute our Superintendent and the Members of the School Board and Faculty. Through your untiring efforts we have completed the four short years of high school. Our goal has been reached through your patience. It is with honor that we welcome you. Lower classmen, we greet you. We only wish that we could take our place among you and repeat our journey. Alumni, you have had the joy of graduating from this same beau¬ tiful school. We welcome you as you have welcomed your formed classmates. We are glad to become your companions. Whether we go to college or take up life’s tasks immediately, we hope that the efforts of all our true friends have not been futile, but that by keeping in mind our motto “Onward” we may make our standard even loftier than our friends expect. June Finney. Thirty-one +- —«I — f • —— « ?«— STURGENSIAN . II I — mrn CLASS HISTORY r riie Class of 1925 composed of eighty pupils, is the largest gradu¬ ating class in the history of Sturgis. Of these eighty, fifty-seven are of the original class and twenty-three who composed the Opportunity Class, came in later. Twenty-four of the regular Seniors entered school together in kindergarten, and so “have tasted all the joys and sorrows,” and ac¬ quired all the knowledge that could come to them through the Sturgis instructors. The next two years the number did not increase, but in the third grade, Helen Tubbs and Harold Mumby appeared, making our num¬ ber twenty-six. Our fourth year passed much as the preceedng ones had with nothing happening except now and then a few tests and semester exams which were new things to us then, never having been introduced to them until the fourth grade. These exams w T ere very much looked forward to and we thought we were just about as important as those personages who were higher in the grades. One more pupil joined our throng in the fifth grade, Gertrude Zelt, so we were then twenty-seven. Clark Bell and Thelma Carver were our only additions in the sixtli grade, increasing the number to twenty-nine. The following September Earl Blass, Harold Brown, Helen Hieber, Clayton Lahmeyer and Delmer Yolpel came in for a share of our good times and incidentally a few of the hard times, as it was just about that particular year that we began to change our minds about semester exams. But then the fact that we went to and from classes when the SENIORS did, helped to balance our trials somewhat. William Arney was the only one to join our ranks in the eighth grade. But the following year the Opportunity Class (thirty in number) joined this throng of learned ninth graders, twenty-three of whom are graduating with this class. Besides the Opportunity, Mildred Borgert, Ida Iiafer, Julia Hibbard, Donna Plattner, Stanley Ledyard, Bernice Jourdan, Kathryn Wenzel, also joined us, making our class increase to sixty-seven. In our Sophomore year, as great a misfortune as could ever befall a class, befell ours in the death of our beloved and honored classmate, John Cavin. 1 our Junior year we were becoming so popular for our peppi- uess and class spirit that several people decided to join us, namely, Mildred De Witt, Sherreaf Finney, AY alter Gerchow, Frank Palmer, Martin Newman, Harold Kelley, Lawrence Clemmons, Gerald Sinead, 1 ban AYise, Julius Mecklenburg, raising our number to seventy-seven. And last, but not least, Mrs. Weaver, Clarence AVhite and Josephine Tunnel joined our ranks, making a total of eighty Seniors. Hilda E. Gilhams.

At present it is blessed with live ac¬ tive members. This organization has been in existence for only five years and it is expected that before many years the membership will be increased. The members of the Better Cat (Hub are the Misses Areta Stark, Dorval Orr, Gertrude Zelt, Katherine Wenzel and Julia Hibbard. Dear Friends: I thought you might be interested to know T am taking a trip around the world. I have stopped at many of the large cities and in Paris, France, I met Mr. and Mrs. Edward Goodell who were there on their honey¬ moon trip. You remember Mrs. Goodell was formerly Mildred Winer. They told me they just left “Bob” Newman, who now owns one of the largest Motion Picture Houses in Paris. From Paris I went to Rome, Italy. There I met Mildred Borgert who has won fame as a basketball player in Europe as well as in America and has gone to Rome for her vacation. From there I journeyed to Pekin, China, where I again met some old acquaintances. This time it was Ida Hafer and Donna Plattner who had become missionaries and who had just been rescued from a band of outlaws by Urban Wise and George Underkirk. The result is a prospective romance. I am now back in San Francisco and here I met Frances Ruck and Lettie Rogusta who have positions in Hollywood as Chorus Girls. Next I am going to Canada and there I expect to meet Earl Blass, Clark Bell and Harold Kelley, who are writing a book on “Eskimo Lore” for the Columbia University. I return home in about a month with the hopes of seeing you and your Cats in perfect health. Your old classmate, Frank Palmer. Dear Friends: I was telling my wife about the old friends of my school days in Sturgis High and about the Better Cat Club when she suggested that I write you and tell you about the interesting incidents which have oc¬ curred in Chicago concerning some of our old friends. The newspapers are just full of the scandal that is going about the city, of Charlotte Cove who is suing Robert Cooke for $9,999.99 for breach of promise. The trial has not yet ended but I would advise you to read the Chicago Daily Sun for the results. I suppose you know Robert Levy is the editor of that paper and Thelma Carver is his private stenographer. (Continued on Page 36) I : STURGENSIAN VALEDICTORY Dear Friends: The class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-Five has reached its goal. For twelve long, but happy years, this sturdy hand has toiled along the well-worn trail. Many have gone before us, but none can travel this path but once. We have climbed and climbed until at last we’ve reached the top. At times the trail has seemed impassable, but with “Onward” ever as our cry, we have scaled the heights. Our goal lies just before us. The broad highway of life is just ahead. These last four years that are now coming to a close have so splendidly equip¬ ped us that we are capably fitted to battle with every obstacle as it arises to block our path. Soon we must step out onto that surging highway where the joys, the cares and the anxieties of life will be greater than they thus far have been. Commencement Day will soon be here; Commencement Day with its joy and its sorrow—joy for our achievement and sorrow at our parting. Henceforth each must take a different road, and often each must walk alone, no not alone, for the memory and the lessons of these happy days will ever live with us and help to brighten the way, and lighten the load. The time has come when we must say farewell. We realize that we have assembled here for probably the last time. Hut before we part let us pause to thank those about us who have made our success possible. To the Board of Education we extend our thanks and apprecia¬ tion for the excellent educational advantages we have been privileged to enjoy. It will be especially difficult for us to bid farewell to the Faculty who by their earnest and patient guidance have led us through these last four years. Without their aid we might never have climbed this far. By their splendid example they have accomplished a great task in fitting us for the responsibilities we must shortly assume. Our ap¬ preciation of their services will increase in fervor as we grow older. Our realization of their value is not as great today as it will be ten years, yes even one year hence. There are no words fitting to voice our thanks to our parents who, because of their love for us, have made all this possible. We can never repay them for the expense, the worry, and the toil we have cost them. While now we can merely say thank you, let us always in years to come prove to them by our actions that we appreciate their sacri¬ fices. May they always be proud of us. To you, Lower Classmen, we surrender our cherished position. May your years as Upper Classmen be as happy and as profitable as ours have been. Finally, Classmates, as we say farewell, let us face the future undaunted, ever heeding the words of Lowell: “Not failure but low aim, is crime.” Charlotte M.

One of the Class, Stanley Ledyard. P. S: Mr. Levy requested me to ask you for an article on “Ontology.” I Dear Friends: You can’t imagine where I have been. I took a trip the other day to Fawn River and what do you suppose was the main attraction! I won’t keep you guessing. There 1 met our old school friends Zella Jorn and her husband, Donald Sturr and they were very much enthused over the revival meetings they were holding in the Fawn River Community House. They were telling me about the different ones who had been converted and among those mentioned were Shear- reaf Finney and Beatrice Beckwith. Can you imagine that, but never¬ theless, it is true. I do wish you could come to Coldwater sometime and see my beau¬ tiful home and husband. Your old friend, Elnora Holtz Bandenburg. Dear Friends: I thought that the Better Cat Club would like to have something to gossip about. One of the class of ’25 has created a lot of excitement in Kazoo. You remember the girl whose name was Helen Hieber—she used to be in the same English class with us—well, she sued her husband, Herald Mumby, for a divorce because of desertion. It seemed that he had been playing escort to her old pal, June Finney. She was granted a divorce by the judge, another friend, Dixon Sturr. Five dollars a week alimony and custody of their two children was granted her. Maybe you will know some of the jury women. They were Kathryn Murray, lues Myers, Loretta Ginther, Josephine Immel and the lawyers were John Mason and Ralph Wagner, but Ralph was defeated and has decided to give up law and pursue his interest in electricity, at which he is an expert. Paul and I were very interested in it. Give my love to the Cats. Metka Jackman Mason.

All during their High School years the Juniors have been trying to adjust themselves to High School life. Some have been successful and others have had to leave the class, causing the class to grow smaller. Many things have interfered with their success toward knowledge and failure to be in the lead. A class meeting was held at the beginning of our Junior year and our two sponsors, Miss Stotzer and Miss Collins, were elected to guide us through this year. The class has decreased from seventy to the total of fifty-nine. Only the fittest have survived. Plans have been made for the J-Hop for the purpose of showing the Seniors the best time they have ever had.

CLASS OF 1927 The Class of ’27 may lie justly proud of its record as Sophomores because: Eighty-nine pupils were enrolled, which is an unusually large number, and Out of this eighty-nine, twenty-five have exceptionally good aver¬ ages. Two Sophomores made the Debating Teams, a feat which is seldom accomplished. All of the prizes in the local Declamatory contest were won by Sopho¬ mores. The High School was represented at the sub-district and County Declamation Contests by a sophomore. The Boys’ Basketball team owes a great deal of its fame as State Champions to its flashy Sophomore center. The Girl’s Basketball Team was greatly strengthened by its Sophomore “subs.” The Sophomores paid their dues promptly, thus creating a sub¬ stantial surplus in the treasury. This record is one that any class in any school could be proud of. We ARE proud of it, but not only for the glory it gives, but for the goal it will be to be the succeeding Sophomore Classes; challenging them to equal it; stimulating them to efforts that may surpass it.

I had nothing else to do that evening I was there so I went to the theatre. I was more than surprised to see who the Jeader was. He was the leader of our High School Orchestra, Walter Frohriep, and there were some more of our old friends in that orchestra. Clayton Lahmeyer and Russel Anderson, both had solo parts. Oh yes, Grant Barkley was the man who was given exceptional credit for the way he handled the drums. When I reached New York, I told my Art pupils about the orches¬ tra and they were greatly interested. T enjoy my work very much and I teach in one of the largest Art Schools in the State. Maybe sometime I can send you some of the work of my pupils on cats, but not this time, so, so long. Tell the Cats hello. Your friend, Helen Tubbs. Dear Friends: My wife and I spent a most delightful time shopping in Elkhart yesterday. There was one store in particular which attracted my at¬ tention. Above the door was a large placard on which I read the following: “Monsieur Cartier, Exclusive.”—Designer from Paris. We entered the shoppe merely for curiosity’s sake and who do you sup¬ pose greeted me! The proprietor himself—our old fellow schoolmate, Arthur Carter. After a few minutes of gossipping he called in his models of whom he is very proud. To my surprise I recognized more of our old friends, namely, Dorothy Evans, Eva Parham and Frances Dalm. After leaving his shoppe we looked about for a suitable place where we could buy a new dress for our youngest daughter. We soon found a pleasant Art and Infant’s Apparel Shop which we entered. Imagine my surprise in seeing Bernice Jordan, now a grass widow for ten years, behind the counter. After we had completed our selection I happened to glance across the room to the other department and there still another surprise awaited me. Tom Webster, one of our class was busily engaged in selling his latest volume on “Etiquette.” At last we arrived at the depot for our return trip to Burr Oak. There whom should I see but Fred Stutz. He informed me that he was soon to be married to his old school day’s fiancee, Bertha Krueger, whom he has just been visiting. She is traveling with the “Bingfing Brother’s Circus” accompanied by her Hawaiian Musicians. Evelyn Coombs, Mildred Kribs, Mildred King. He also stated that the leading attraction was the “Only White Woman Who Successfully Represented a Negro Mammy”—our old (Continued on Page 95) ty-four STURGENSIAN ' •— 4 STUBGENS1AN CLASS OF 1928 September the fifth, 1924, ninety-eight boys and girls wended their way to Sturgis High. They all thought that this year would lie differ¬ ent from last because this year they would lie Freshmen, choosing their own subjects and not being watched quite so closely as in the eighth grade. About sixteen of the ninety-eight have fallen by the wayside, some moving away, some just dropping school. About eighteen boys and girls have come to fill up the place left vacant by those who drop¬ ped out. Some people may think that the Freshmen have not done any¬ thing. We were the first ones in both Junior and Senior High to get our Sturgensian money in. By another year we will have fine athletes in our class. We are expecting to have our class party in April. We hope to go to some lake and have a wiener roast. In June we will graduate from Junior High to Senior High. This will be a thing never to be forgotten. As usual there will be some who fail, but I think the number is smaller this year than usual. The class chose for their colors Green and Silver. Our Class Sponsors are Mrs. Wallick and Mrs. Seitz.

William Harris was John Alden, bashful, but staunch and true in his devotion to Priscilla. Jane Weitli was a very stern Dame Goodly, rebuking the sixteen maidens and sixteen youths because of their giddy ways. Joe Baird as Governor Winslow with the six elders kept peace in the colony. Abe Portman made a splendid Capt. Miles Standish and with his soldiers dressed in modern Boy Scout uniforms kept the Indian Chief—Lyle Johnstonbaugh and his savage tribe on friendly terms so they came to the White Man’s feast bringing popcorn as a gift to the Red Man’s friend. The Medicine Man—Charles Phelps—came too. After smoking the peace pipe all the white folks felt safe. The joyous hunters came in singing, carrying deer and birds which they killed for the feast.

CLASS OF 1930 For the Seventh Grade this has been a very good year in school work and social activities as well. At our first meeting we elected class officers and decided upon the dues as well as others things to be done during the year. We also se¬ lected our closs color, deciding upon royal purple and gray. We selected Miss Hoopingarner and Mr. Light for sponsors. We had many interesting experiments in the different classes, material being furnished by the students. In February we held our class party. We had many good things to eat. After dinner, dancing and games were enjoyed. During the second semester the A and B classes were changed to the X and Y classes. This because some of the A students were put in the B classes because of lack of room in the A class. Everything considered, we did very well this year, but “beware of the Rhymes of ’ 26 !” Masil W.

Sturgis placed the cleanest football possible and was a hard fighting team despite several nnlncky breaks. Carrigan’s men had one of th e hardest schedules the Sturgis team has ever played, and the most exciting game was Coldwater, which was played out in the ball park on a muddy field, neither team show¬ ing the advantage. Coach Carrigan’s ability is to be recognized in turning out fighting teams from green material and teaching the players good sportsman¬ ship, clean playing and hard fighting. S. H. S.

Kline STURGENSIAN The 1924 baseball team had a fair season, winning four out of seven games. The one with Constantine would have come out different if ourCoacli had been along to manage things. When you look over our schedule you will see how the next game came out with them when our Coach “Hurry-Up” Carrigan was along. At the first of the year nearly every player was new, but by the end of the season the Coach had an altogether new team. Our first game was with Burr Oak, when we had just started to practice at the first of the week and played at the end. Nearly everv man will be back for baseball this year. Burr Oak S. H.

Everywhere the team went they were complimented on their sportsmanship and basketball ability. When they came out on the floor before the game the crowd im¬ mediately sat np and took notice because ot the snappy appearance they put up due to the green and white suits. Coach “Andy” Carrigan cannot be given too much credit for turning out such a team because it was entirely due to Jus untiring efforts that the material he had was worked into a fast, efficient, smooth-working machine. The coach’s fighting spirit was all that pulled the team through more than one hard fought battle. The team made the best showing that has ever been made in the history of the school. L.

Team work was one of the main cogs which made the team a bet¬ ter running machine and made the games most interesting and un¬ tiring. A great deal of the credit must be given Miss Piziali for de¬ veloping such a splendid team. All but two of the first team will graduate this year, but there is still plenty of material to build another team to take the place of the present team, and keep the slate clean for another year. R.

They lunched at Crum’s Res¬ taurant. Miss Piziali acted as chaperon. The girls also held a baked good sale at Tobey Jackman’s to raise money for a party. October 30. The members of the Shorthand Club and guests met in the Au¬ ditorium and enjoyed a night of revelry. Games were played and breath-taking contests won. The music was furnished by Hayden’s Peppy Six. After a delightful luncheon in Commercial Room 1 hie, con¬ sisting of apples, fudge, cider and popcorn, everyone returned to the Auditorium and danced until ten-thirty o’clock. Mary Stratton won the prize for the best masquerade. October 30. The teachers divulge in coffee (plus) at Oliver Beach—and base¬ ball games—and stores. October 31. Thirteen Cosmos members held a picnic at Klinger Lake—their first party of the year. The three cars got lost from one another, but finally everyone met on the bluffs and the picnic began. Thirteen did not seem to be unlucky as there were plenty of provisions and every¬ one enjoyed it, although it was rather spooky. They had oranges, toasted marshmallows, pickles and weiners. The sponsors of the club, Miss Collins and Mr. Chapman, were chaperons. November 7. No one knows but the Sophs how much fun it is “to be kid again!” Their kid party was held in the Auditorium. Mrs. Seitz took first prize for her childish costume despite the amount of competition. Games were plaved and the kiddies feasted to excess on animal crack¬ ers, cider and lolypops. After the sponsors had looked intently at their watches and advised the children to hurry home, what is claimed to be one of the very best and most snccesful parties of the year was ended. December 10. Tliirty-fipe members of the French Club (Les Circle Francaise) gathered at the home of June Finney and enjoyed a totally French program. French prevailed in everything, including games, music and speech. A dainty luncheon of Candle Salad and Cakes decorated with Christmas colors was served. December 17 The Rhynies met in the High School Auditorium for their second party of the year, the other being a weiner roast which was promised them last year as they hadn’t had one then. The program was almost entirely a musical one. Santa was introduced, who caused much mirth among the boys and girls. He finally disclosed himself to be none other than a brother of the faculty, Mr. Light. With the aid of a few Rhynies he distributed gifts to everyone. Delicious refresments were served.

Seventy-nine The team next drove to South Bend for a practice debate and it was very pleasing to know that the judges praised their work very highly. The last negative debate was held in Sturgis with Albion as a suc¬ cessful opponent. The affirmative team was composed of Eva Parham, Ellis Le vy and Curtis Sabrosky, with Paul Black as alternate. This team was un¬ der the direction of Miss Leone Jacobs. They made a very fine record by winning both league debates unanimously. They met White Pigeon while we were in the midst of semester examinations, but won an easy victory. On February 12, Coldwater came here to decide who had the better team, but our people went out with “fire in their eyes” and won an unanimous decision thus settling for all time the supremacy of S. H. S. Hi ■yi Sixty-eight Sixty-nine LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais was organized by the second year French class of 1924. It consists of members of the advanced class and representa¬ tives of the first year class. The aim of the Club is to gain more interest in and more affection for the land beyond the seas. Accordingly, all available devices which would be helpful in promoting and increasing Franco-American friend¬ ship have been employed. At the December meeting of “Le Cercle” the program included a discussion of Christmas as it is celebrated in France, and the singing of the French carol songs, “La Cantique de Noel” and “Chanson de Noel.” The programs have been varied. The developmnet of the French Academy, the government of France, and its present policies, the economical situation of France today have been among the subjects dis¬ cussed. The musical members of the club have formed L’Orchestra du Cercle Francais which assisted in popularizing French music. i s Seventy-four STURGENSIAN J-HOP One of tlie most successful J-Hops ever staged in Sturgis, was held iu the High School Auditorium June 4, 1924. The decorations were made up of the Junior and Senior colors— purple and gold, and brown and gold. With large masses of dog-wood branches in every nook and corner, the auditorium looked very much as if Spring had moved in-doors. The dancing was started with a Grand March, and there were tag and feature dances at different times during the evening. Those who did not care to dance found card games awaiting them in the various “cozy corners.” At eleven o’clock, a light repast was served with the Senior colors being carried out in the ice cream and cake. Everyone did justice to the punch between dances and declared that it couldn’t be equaled. Twelve o’clock, which was set as the closing hour, arrived all too soon. S. H. S. CARNIVAL Teacher’s Review! Right this way! Dance of the Seven Veils begins in five minutes! Hot Dogs! Ice Cream Cones! This way to the Hootchie Kootchie Show! Buy a Carnival Hat! Amid such cries as these the High School Carnival started and ended. The slogan for the carnival was “Boost the Band” and every one certainly did. No more hearty co-operation from teachers, students, and parents, spirit of willingness to help and loyalty to the school could not have been shown. The thousand dollars which was mad e was used to start a per¬ manent band organization. Seventy-five GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB Roberta Carver . President Marion Smith ....

The new members who “walked the plank” or “rode the goat” were as follows: Misses Marguerite Albright, Eva Parham and the Messrs John Mason, Alva Whiteman. New members will be discovered for next year. To be a member of Cosmos—which has some of the “live wires” of S. H. 8.—ought to be an honor and a memory. i i i Seventy-three LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais was organized by the second year French class of 1924.

Twenty-two “Cosmosites” gathered at Metlia Jackman’s to wit¬ ness and partake in the Initiation of five members. The evening was spent, for the most part, at cross-word puzzles—and, after the new members rode the goat, American History questions were asked by J. W. Rupe. After a dainty luncheon served by the hostess and two assistants, cross-word puzzles again were sought. March 4. The French Club met with Lynn and Charles Curtis for six o’clock pot-luck. After talks on French Current Events, records sung in French were played on the Vietrola. Prizes were given to Crossword Puzzle Champions. March 16. The Girl Reserves gave a “Mother and Daughter” banquet—one of the most delightful parties given during the school year. One hundred and thirty were present. The dinner was served by “Ma” Hause—and it was wonderful. Mrs. Ferner acted as toastmistress and introduced the Girl Reserve leader, Miss Rowe, who told how the Girl Reserve Movement was originated. Her topic was, “The Garden of Girls.” June Finney responded with “Mother O’ Mine” and Mrs. Brokaw responded with “Daughter O’ Mine.” After a few songs and two solos, the party broke up. The Girl Reserves have made much progress this year and have a large membership. They have regular meetings—always interesting and entertaining. June 4. Most beautiful of J-Hops! Such comments as, “The best ever!”; “It out-shines any we’ve had before”—and many others—proves it. The Auditorium was beautifully decorated with Junior and Senior colors. Dog-wood boughs graced the stage where Bob Newman’s Or¬ chestra held full sway. After the Grand March, the punch-bowl was emptied and the dances soon began—feature and tag dances included. A delicious luncheon was served, after which the best J-Hop in several vears was ended. 1 n 1 Tl £ I :Si S I tx !g •i 1 — ■—. ' 1925 Eighty-two - • X ST1JRGENSIAN I i : 18 ix; [;:=!

She was as pretty as a picture, but her cooking was terrible, and one morning the bacon was burned to such a crisp as to be wholly inedible. “Dear,” said the wife to her husband, “I’m afraid the cook lias burned the bacon.

We take events too sternly We grow too grave by half, The country’c coining on all right— Just laugh. Don’t mope around and worry, Don’t think the end is near, There’s nothing going to come along, That’s worth a single fear. We take our days too gloomy, We make our wheat all chaff, There won’t be any trouble— Just laugh. We argue and use parley We scold and fuss and fume, The old sun keeps on shining. The new buds bring the bloom. Don’t take things so dogged sober, Just medium, half and half; There’s nothing going to ruin— Just laugh! Author Unknown.

I think my letter is too long already so will write more later. Give my regards to the (hits. Julius Mecklenherg. Dear Friends: Have you one of the Arney shops in your town? We have. Their specialties are chocolate fudge and baked-beans. Bill and Hilda Ar¬ ney are putting them all over the country and your city will, no doubt, soon have one, too. It’s a huge success here. Of course you know that by Hilda I meant the former Hilda Gilliams. We have a new singing and dancing master in our town. He is John Rupe. Surprising isn’t it? Last Friday I went to Washington to get a patent on my new henna rouge. I spent a long time in my laboratory working on it. It is perfectly harmless to your skin. Gerald Smead was the engineer on the train I took and Paul Black was the conductor. Paul makes a handy conductor, all right. Kathryn Montgomery. Dear Friends: As you know, Dr. Harold Brown has given me a vacation. He is now head of the Sturgis Memorial Hospital and when he discovered I hadn’t had a vacation for a year he told me to take two weeks and so here I am in Washington, D. C. I’ve been having a glorious time. I have met a lot of our old friends. While there I visited “The Lantern Shop” run by our old friend Mary Frances Brokaw. It is the largest tea room in Washington, D. C., and most of the music is furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Herrold. I suppose you know Mildred De Witt finally married Ed. Another person I met was Walter Gerchow. He has been appoint¬ ed Dictator General and leaves for the Philippines next week. Isn’t that wonderful? I suppose you know that George Seebaldt is Representative from Michigan and I see him nearly every day. Really, it is w onderful how some of our old friends have turned out, but soon I’ll have to go back to my nursing and then this vacation will seem like a dream. I’ll stop to see you on the way home so won’t write any more now. I hope the Cats are all well and thriving. Your old pal, Frances Littlefield. (Continued on Page 96) Ninety-fiv STURGENSIAN CLASS PROPHECY (Continued from Page 95) Dear Friends: The other day I was greatly surprised when an agent came to my door and who should it have been but Clarence White. He was selling silk stockings and patented darners. 1 asked him in to have a piece ol cake and he told me that the patented darner was in ented by Orel me Abbs Have you seen the cover on the “New Beauty Magazine? It was drawn by Lawrence Clemmons and posed by Mildred Schroeder, our old school friends. Absolutely scandalous! This new art magazine is edit¬ ed by Frank Austin who is making women’s beauty his specialty. There’s not much excitement in our town but the other day a mail plane was going over and on account of engine trouble, was foiced to land. Roberta Carver was the Aviatrix. I always knew she’d do some absurd thing like that. She told me that on Sundays she did stunts for the amusement of her town and that Delmer V olpel who is a prosperous scientific farmer near there did parachute stunts for the sake of a little variety. This will probable be the last letter you will get from me here as I am going to Hawaii with my husband who is taking charge ot a branch of the army there. Give my respects to the Cats.
