T. R. has been cancelled. It sure has been an Al Smith spring for the track men. April 25-The warring factions came to an agreement and the Annual Staff for 1929-30 was elected. u April 29-T. R. isn't the only one with a flooded track. The Little Five Conference was called off Saturday because their track was under water. This is certainly like a Judgment Day, if you've had good marks so far this year they can't flunk you, but oh, how serious some of our clowns and Beau Brurnmels look. Note-Mr. Irving causes me so much misery in English so that apologies for using his A'stuff seem superfluous. April 30-Someone evidently believed they had a future in hardware busi- ness. He was laying in a stock of screws at the expense of the desks in the Latin room. However, disaster in the form of Miss Garman stunted his ambition. MAY May l-Miss Hangsterfer gave a rousing cheer, so to speak, for Miss Stair's English Class which is getting out the Junior Reflector this week. lt seems they are getting their news in so much earlier than the regulars, Can you blame us for hoping they don't come within two columns of a full page? May 2-The school busy-bodies have dug up everything pro and con con- cerning whether or not people selected for the characters in the final Senior play of the year are good choices. Chances are their decisions won't make much difference. May 3-Essays, the subject of which is our own flag, were read in Assembly today. Cut of all the pupils, seventh and eighth grades, Evelyn Schultz took first place among the girls and Donald Sweet first place among the boys for having the best essay and delivery. A May 6-No sixth hour today because an Assembly was called. We were entertained by representatives of Kazoo College. May 7-Cecil DeLong and Stanley Butler, both big, lusty, hick lads from out west were stricken with the childish disease, measles. It is rumored they were in need of a vacation after safely guarding their scholarship laurels. Cecil is Valedictorian for the Class of '29 and Stanley ranks as a scholar in the Class of '32, May 8-Election cards were passed around today so we could sign up for our studies next year. Pretty soon they'll be saying forget about school and have a nice vacation--hypocrites. May 9-Opening of the May Festival tonight. After five miles in track, my craving for art centers on the art of sleeping. Comments, however, spoke well of the attendance and performance. May 10-Heavy day. Most important thing is there is no school 6th and 7th hours because of the May Festival. The Chapel program was taken over by the Hi-y Club. They are pretty good on the stage, but most of their warbling is done by the light of the moon. May 13-The little Five track meet was held last Saturday, after being postponed a week. Perhaps T. R. could have survived if it had been postponed Page One Hundred Four

Clllprultuluggc APRIL April 8, l929-Blue Monday-the first day after spring vacation, and the less said about it the better. April 9-We washed the Chemistry lab. desks before vacation so they could be painted and have time to dry. When We arrived today, the only coat they had was a coat of dust. Maybe Skipper Dutch Adam's pedigree wasn't dragged in the mud. April 10-The Juniors are certainly getting their due respect now. Everyone clears out when they see them coming. They're trying to get subscriptions for magazines. April ll-The Manual Arts boys had a banquet in Kalamazoo this even- ing. It seems most of them are magicians-anyway they knew how to make silverware disappear. April 12-Regional Band contest was held at Kalamazoo today. Our band would have qualified for the state meet if they hadn't been handicapped ten points because they learned the wrong number. The D. S. girls won first place, giving them a chance to go to the State meet. April 15-Campaign for magazine subscriptions ended today with the Red team far in the lead. The total amount of money received by the Junior Class is 351, which not only lifts the Junior's treasury but also lifts the faces of several Juniors who are on the financial committee for the Junior-Senior re- ception. Note-The Blue team offered to treat if we paid the bill. But as they were such good losers we didn't feel able to accept this offer. April 16-The Seniors won the Interclass track meet with Wagner as high point man. After Jerry Beggs told us what a hard test we were going to get the Chapel bell rang. Ha-ha. April 17- Pink Pajamas has the stage this week. The Varsity Club is one club that doesn't have to sell tickets. ln fact, it's hard to buy them. April 18-Lab. again today, and Skipper Dutch Adams has painted the desks. Miracles still happen. Some of the girls with boyish bobs are looking rather embarrassed. No wonder. look at LeRoy Hoover's marcell April 19-The Varsity Club brought the Starr Commonwealth Boys here today to give the Assembly program. April 22-Blanche Bauserman won second place in the singing contest at Pontiac last Saturday. April 23-Varsity Play. Howling success with plenty of howls. Charles Tubbs' and Carlton Miller's Grecian Dance with doughnuts was the special feature. April 24-Last Saturday the Niles meet with T. R. was cancelled because the track was under Water. As a result the triple meet-Sturgis, Coldwater, and Page One Hundred Three

forever. There is a sign on the blackboard which says that if the Seniors bring sandwiches the Juniors will furnish the coffee at the Junior-Senior Reception. The guilty Senior is known. QDon't we wish he wasl. The Juniors might as well be home today. Well, what about the Faculty and the dignined Seniors? May 15-Tonight ends Jerry Tulloch's two week diet. I believe its Scotch name is the Banquet Diet. The Junior-Senior Reception! The Juniors ap- pointed a special committee specially for Jeannette Zierle, June Slote, and Dean Rockwell. Its name? One guess. Correct. May 16-By gosh, I get a holiday today, too. May 17-It is rumored that A'Keei'ie Brayman got home by 12 o'clock as required by Coach Foster-at least he was seen leaving the Country Club about ten. May 20-Who said a bad start assures a good ending? The track team had hard luck at the beginning of the season because the track was flooded. The water has receded at last but the team can't seem to outrun their hard luck. Niles walked away with the Regional Meet at Kazoo last Saturday. May Zl-Looking in the Chemistry Lab. an experienced eye could tell the year was ending. Some are working hard on their experiments: others are copy- ing hard: while others are playing hoss. A ball game was staged using a sponge for ball. Doug. Bullock knocked a home-run out of the window. It would seem impossible to do this against the draft unless you knew Bullock's lung power. May 22-The Foods Classes had a picnic at Fisher Lake today. I will say no more for I am a moral boy, you understand. May 23-Varsity Club Banquet at South Bend today. Jerry Tullock was toastmaster: this was perhaps his last chance to strut his stuff! It's funny how some people had such an over supply of Lab. equipment and others such an under supply. Even if it is better to give than to receive I think the honors were even after they divvy'd up. May 24-Double Triangle gave a clever program. Believe it or not, some- one in that club has intelligence. Some Frosh staged a party at Kazoo tonight. May 27-No wonder Keene Brayman looks so happy-Jeanne Andrews is recovering from her operation. Seniors are going around with their noses in the air because they're taking exams this week, and the rest of us can't. May 28-Speak and admit, ye pupils of T. R. H. S. that it's not the Class picnic you're happy about, but the trip over and back. May 29-The Manual Arts Club had a picnic at the Lake today. It's no wonder they're the biggest club in school, all they do is have feeds. May 31-Field Day. JUNE June 3-Three Rivers won the County Track Meet easily, 15 out of 17 men placing in some of the events. Baccalaureate services this week. This lin case you didn't know itj is Commencement week, but we poor under classmen are getting writer's cramp, writing exams. June 4-The final Senior Play, 'AThe Charm School, which was given last night, was excellent. Page One Hundred Five
