Experience has taught us where many improvements might be made. Justice to all has been an utter impossibility. When the years have passed and life is weighted down with its cares and sorrows, if a glimpse through the pages of this book helps to dispel those cares and lighten the burden, then will it have accomplished its purpose. We submit it to your kindly criticism.

The first time this class made its influence felt was when they held the Sophomores at bay in a tug-of-war across the Kalamazoo river. At the banquet that year they were represented by Henry Brown as toastmaster and Richard Chauncey, who gave the toast. In this year the class gained recognition in athletics as two of its members received the much-coveted A . Upon entering the Sophomore year the class was defeated by the Fresh- men in a tug-of-war, but immediately regained prestige by being represented in the Declamation contest by Margaret McCulloch. This year six of the boys gained an A in football, and the debate team was the runner-up in the interclass contest. Henry Brown once more represented them at the banquet. Their Junior Year proved to be one of great activity. Eleven athletes received the A in football, while the interclass basketball team won the championship. Margaret McCulloch represented them on the High School debating team and in oratry. The most imprtant event of the season, the Junior Ex, proved a great success. The Junior-Senior Reception, also an important occasion,, provided much merriment for both Seniors and Juniors. Not only did they excel in athletics but their interclass debate team once more came to the fore, capturing high honors. r— ; L v BREEZE ANNUA 2 oijLL. — i_TD EL_ = fcn = -d Cj Cl=- — _k_i)fe BREEZE ANNUA i 3jj il_T) j ilumtrura CLASS OFFICERS President Howard Dean Vice President Donald Humphrey Secretary Vivian Miles Treasurer Ruth Hembdt Class Advisor Miss Krotzer Zell Allen Leon Arey Marjory Barry Martha Balten John Berner Dorothy Biggs Darwin Boldt Henry Borman Howard Brown Bernard Burnham Paul Cameron Emma Carty Alice Chickering Irene Clark Russel Clark Zada Clark Everett Cleveland Donald Cooper Helen Cooper Adah Cuatt Dorothy Cuatt Thelma Cuatt Howard Dean Prank Decker Ozro Densmore Russel Desy Dorothy Dodd Annie Dubina Geneva Elliot Minnie Ellis Mary Fall Sally Fall Minard Farley Margaret Fillmore Maynard Fleming Ethelyn Gadd Madeline Gale Laverne Gansen Grace Gardner Vivian Gardner Lehil Gill Gladys Goll Thurza Gordon Gail Griffin Louis Griffin Maxwell Gull Dorothy Hale Hubert Hansen en Sf ■€Z Hf i-1 _ _ BREE ZEANNUAL g ) J fc=: Walter Hard Lyle Harrier Ruth Hembdt Russel Henshaw Loraine Hoaglin Emiline Holtz Esther Holtz Sophia Jackson Dorothy Jaggers Roberta Johnson Geraldine Johnson Evangeline Junker Bernard Kabel Doris Keck Eldred Kenney Donna Kimmer Esther Knuth Raymond Knuth Irene Kreger Margaret Kroener Willard Laity Elizabeth Larder Herbert Leeth Helen Lighthill William Lutzka Angelina Magnotta Mitchel Maksimchuk flpljamorfs Cecil Manor Jennie Manino Hubert Mason Charles Matheson Arthur Merrit Eugene Messacre Dorothy Miles Vivian Miles Beatrice Miller George Miller Noble Moore Sylvia Morgan Helen Moyer Kenneth Murdock Leola Nerber Viola Newell Sam O ' Dell Thomas Osborne Albert Osmun Murice Philp Dona ld Pickens Gladys Pittlekow Raymond Powers Alice Randall Walter Rathbun Clyde Raymond Robert Reed Agnes Robinson Vernie Rockwell Margaret Rumsey Carl Rutz Kenneth Sage Frederick Scribner William Siber Loren Skinner Myrna Spencer Wesley Starks Lloyd Streeter Vincent Taylor Esther Thurow June Tooley Kenneth Trim Carrie Walls Keith Weldon John Weeks Montfort Weeks Louise Whitney William Wildt Reo Winehell Luva Winfleld Ralph Wochholz Margaret Wolcott Virginia Wright Adah Wetzel =2 -d mzj BREEZEANNUAL jjj_J__ i|M )) ' M _ j opljnmnr? ijonor loll Mike Maksimehuk Howard Dean Ozro Densmore William Siber Student Council Minard Farley Maynard Fleming Donald Cooper Helen Cooper Jane Brown Ruth Rowland The Class of 1930 entered their freshmen year with Charles Matheson as president ; Howard Dean, Vice President ; Noble Moore, Secretary ; and Sally Fall, Treasurer. With a nine man team we forced the Sophs to swim for it in the annual tug-o-war. On the Junior High Student Council, Minard Farley was President the first semester and Jane Brown the second. Mike Maksimehuk, received an A in football that year and after a stiff battle with words in the annual Freshman and Sophomore debate, we lost by a 3 to decision. That year William Wildt excellently represented us as toast- master at the Junior High Banquet, and, to climax such a successful year thirteen of our members left their names on the permanent Junior High Honor Roll. In our Sophomore year we were even more successful. Our class advisor was Miss Krotzer and our officers were Howard Dean, President ; Don Humphrey, Vice President; Vivian Miles, Secretary; and Ruth Hembdt, Treasurer. We had the most successful class paty at Christmas that we have ever had. Four of our members received A in football and our team was runner up in interclass basketball. We not only pulled the Freshmen in the river this year but we won the Freshman and Sophomore debate by a 2 to 1 decision. Minard Farley gave the Sophomore toast at the High School Ban- quet this year. As we have two more years in Albion High School we are going to try to do our bit in upholding the record of our school. = = — r — c =3 €Z o === ___i = L BREE2 WAL (j j_X «T fcn US CI E sm Ntutti dratn CLASS OFFICERS President Margaret Parsons Vice President Darrell Beattie Secretary Harriet Kroener Treasurer Kenneth Hollidge Class Advisor Miss Stephens Warren Abbot Junior Adams Betty Avery Ruth Baldwin Billie Barrat Mildred Bastian Darrel Beattie Dorthea Bergstresser Leona Boldt Herbert Borman Blanchard Boulton Elizabeth Boyd John Brankiewich Leland Bradley Gilbert Brandt Mary Breton Emil Brooks Garnet Buck =3r Kenneth Burnham Clark Bushong Valora Butzer Marguerite Carnell Carl Casceralli Icel Chase Carleton Chickering Reva Childers Gladys Clark Thelma Coleman Floyd Collins Ruth Culver Donald Darley Lucille Dean Lillian Decker Louise Densmore Donald Dice Lucille Drumm Arleen Duttlinger William Duttlinger Geraldine Eekmeyer Norma Emery Wayne Engelter Esther Everett Robert Farley Carinne Fick Theron Finley Richard Foote Raymond Gardner Lelia Garner Hubert Gaskel Dexter Gilbert Enrich Gilg Evelyn Hahn Georgia Hahn Marjorie Hard -d A.

The purpose of this organization is to promote the ideals of the school and to create a better understanding between the students and the teachers. The Student Council has sponsored some very worthwhile projects this year. They purchased a bust of Charles A. Lindbergh, financed the sending of the band away to several of the games, and they are planning to publish a handbook. The members of the Council hold responsible positions as representa- tives of the students and their position should be one of honor and respect. -J en =Z2r -c H5 BREE ZEANNUAL j _) J r? 1 E« 4 ■ r w ff ' Ik y- 1 I s ? 4 1 M I i t sc HHPnHsn V : SBl K v jj Sebatmg For the second successive year Albion lias had a debating team which has made a mark in the forensic field of Michigan high schools. Starting the season with only one veteran Coach E. B. Thomas took a group of inexperienced debaters and welded them together into a teanr which won four and lost two debates in the state league. Five debaters were carried on the squad throughout the season iand all did creditable work. The team started the season by losing to Ottawa Hills. After this four successive victories were rung up.

Each year it is customary for the Breeze Staff to sponser a play given for the financial benefit of the Breeze Annual. This year the staff presented the three act comedy, So This Is London on February 24. The play is concerned with the conflict between an English and an, American family. The English thinks that nothing good ever came from America, and the Americans think the same thing about England. This feeling was brought to a climax when Junior Draper, the American boy, expressed his intentions of marrying an English girl, Elinor Beecham. In the end each family found that the other was not so bad after all, and all ends happily. The cast was as follows : Hiram Draper, Junior James Sebastian Elinor Beecham Judith Tench Lady Ducksworth Geraldine Miller Hiram Draper, Senior Robert Gregory Mrs. Hiram Draper Marjorie Austin A Flunky at the Ritz Randall Lysher Sir Percy Beecham Carl Lambrecht Alfred Honeycutt Lawrence Comstoek Lady Beecham Catherine Robinson Thomas, a butler Nathaniel Fillmore Jennings, Lady Ducksworth ' s Butler Russel Smith fc=I m -c jzd EEZE ANNUAL ) j =5 Slimier Ex The thirtieth annual Junior Ex was very successfully produced on March 23 in the auditorium.

Mr, lili)Drn The present high grade music department of our high school owes its growth in a large measure to the untiring labors of two men, Mr. Kenneth Umfleet, former director of music, and to the present director, Mr. Clarence P. Bilhorn. During the year that Mr. Umfleet was with us he placed music on a firm foundation and started it on the way to its present standard. Coming to us two years ago Mr. Bilhorn plunged into the building up of the department with a never-say-die spirit which has placed music on a higher level than ever before in the school. We feel certain that under the direction of Mr. Bilhorn the department will continue to move toward even higher goals. 3 — s £ i ■ j ga. -U k L u rj ■ ; • i f% : $[}? Imti The growth of instrumental work in the Albion Public Schools in the past two years is but an indication of what may be developed under proper leadership and encouragement. The present band and orchestra are in the embryonic stage; however, the fact that many of the members of both organizations are now in the Junior High School, gives promise of a group of experienced players within the next few years. Sixteen players of the second band were recently transferred to the first band, making a total instrumentation of fifty pieces for the Second Annual Home Concert given in the High School Auditorium. Wind instrument classes for beginnersi have been conducted for the past three years. The continuance of these classes will always provide the necessary new material for the band. That the band is an active organization of real merit is shown by a summary of its appearances during the year 1927-28 in its snappy maroon and white uniforms ; pepped up enthusiasm at all home football and basketball games ; cooperated with the Marshall High School Band to put over a combined program of pep and entertainment while our basketball squad outrutted the county-seaters on their own floor; stirred up enthusiasm in its assembly programs, performed for the P. T. A. and the County Teacher ' s Institute; gave a benefit program for the rural children of the county; gave guest performances at the Commander Byrd lecture in Battle Creek, and tin ' U. S. Veteran ' s Hospital at Camp Custer, finishing its most successful season with the Second Annual Home Concert as part of Albion ' s observance of . National Music Week. =2 -£ IZD A_=— — L k BREEZEANNUAL ) ) 3 ®tj? (Drrljestra Because the band is the easier organization to organize and promote, and since it is brought before the public in so many functions which require martial strains of music, the importance of the orchestra is sometimes under- estimated. Every effort should be made by the pupils to support this organ- ization, for the growth in the appreciation of good music on the part of the student body — and more or less directly, the townspeople — will only ap - proaeh what it should be as the students participate in the study of good music in the orchestra. Good violin, viola, and ' cello players are only devel- ped through .years of study. Until the pupils now enrolled in the violin classes conducted in the grades come to the high school as well trained musicians will there be an adequate number of string players in Albion High School to insure an orchestra of anything better than mediocre ability. Until that time,, much progress is being made with the present group. Their major public appearance this year at the pageant America the Beautiful ' ' given by the high school, was received most favorably by the public. 3 -£ IZD J=L _LiJD BftEE Z ANNUAL J ZD Inca ' (Skf (Club The Boys ' Glee Club is coming into its own with a boys ' chorus of forty voices in the Junior High to supply trained material, the senior group is assured of its twenty-four members.

Membership is limited and is by tryouts, indications being that there will be keen competition next fall. fe= -c= -fl r rz4 Ci— — ii- kISfc (girls ' Sl« (With The Senior Girls ' Glee Club under the direction of Miss Skoog is limited to thirty voices and has pleased all its audiences this year. With a waiting list of over twenty-five and a Junior Girls ' Club of forty voices, the quality of those selected for the club is guaranteed. There are few high schools in which no form of choral organization is found. Singing is the form of music expression which should be avail- able for all students. It is a proven fact that the school that sings has a better morale among its student-body ; assembly sings should be encour- aged. With our new auditorium and the good collection of song slides, this form of student self-expreission should become part of the student life of Albion High. ' If singing is so important a medium of self expression, the fostering of carefully selected groups for Glee Clubs and choruses should receive the whole-hearted support of students and faculty. To learn to sing correctly is to learn to speak correctly, and this means proper breathing, good articula- tion and enunciation. It means the study of the best choral literature of tn =2 -£ :q j Vreez iwal Mmh (Elinrua The Mixed Chorus includes the two clubs and those on the waiting list. It is possible to perform works and realize new beauties, not possible with either the boys ' or girls ' groups separately. The numbers studied this year have been both sacred and secular. many countries and nationalities, of different periods and schools of music, and of various type and forms. Surely, there are objectives which are worthy of consideration in the high school curriculum. Many are the schools whose class glee clubs and choruses are extra-curricular necessitating re- hearsals after school hours, during the lunch hour or the clearance period. But with the recognizing of the importance of these objectives and the true worth of music study, music is being placed on an equality with other basic subjects in school time in all progressive schools. Rome was not built in a day. Neither can music be fitted into the Albion curriculum on an equality basis with other subjects in a year or two. It must wait until it has proven itself worthwhile and until expansion of the curriculum can be provided for. fcn =3 -€Z TZJ CL=- m ? (j]Ji. r ' ) ) ' J (§$?r?tttx For the first time in two or three years the music department succeeded ' in producing an operetta, it being ' one of the most successful musical at- tempts ever sponsored by the High School. It was through the untiring efforts of Miss Skoog and Mr. Billiorn that the operetta was a credit to the school. The operetta was called The Gypsy Rover and was filled with life and gayety. The attractive costumes created a most artistic atmosphere. The Gypsy Rover is in three acts and is built around the character of Rob, later known as Sir Gilbert Howe, of English nobility. Rob is stolen when a child by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens one day, while riding with her fiance, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Martendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to a gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven — objects to Rob ' s attitude, but in a very funny comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in search of Con- stance, that Rob is a charming fellow. In act two Rob goes to, the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to elope but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George and plans are made to capture Rob. This is accomplished successfully and Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estates, his identity having been proven by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, The goocL fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and our story, Con- stance, can end in the proper way. They live happily ever after.

Their hopes were more than wholly realized when the local warriors not only headed the Little Ten but also defeated the strong Class A- team from Kalamazoo Central, 38-12. The only game lost by the gridders was the Battle Creek contest. The Fishermen started the season with a rush, slumped slightly in mid-season, and then assumed the proportions of a battering ram in the closing contests. The team reached its peak in the traditional Marshall game which was won by the record breaking score of 83-0. Many persons believe that this eleven was the best team to ever represent the Red and White. As to stars there were many on the local team but the work of Captain Osmun, plunging fullback, and Ludlow, diminutive cpiarterback, stood out above the rest.

The game lost was to the Battle Creek team, a class A school, while victories have been won over Tekonsha, Hillsdale and Marshall. Led by Captain Bunk Garfield, the Red and White presented to its opponents a solid front of veteran players with the exception of the right side of the infield. Garfield, Laity and Osmun handled the outfield jobs with Keck and Stephenson in reserve. Gordon Thwaites guarded the hot corner of the infield with Ludlow at short and Gilg or Chauncey at second. Stephenson and Miles cavorted around the initial sack. Muddy Shepard was in the catchers box during the season while three different pitchers of merit cavorted on the mound. Behling, four year veteran, was the dean of the staff while Hoaglin southpaw hurler, and Stockton, a lanky right hander also took their turns on the hill.

What an appropriate name riven to our new school. How fitting it is that this splendid structure should bear the name of a man so noble. Hon. Washington Gardner was born in 1845 on a farm in Ohio. At the age of l(i, he enlisted in the Union army and while in this Service he was severely wounded. In 1876, he graduated with highest honors from the Albany Law School. After practicing law for a time he joined the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and filled a number of the leading pulpits of the state. Later he was elected Commander of the Michigan department of the G. A. R. T Secretary of State, and finally Representative. During the later years of his life he held the office of Commissioner of Pensions, at Washington. DEDICATION PROGRAM The first of the dedication programs was held February 8, when an inspiring address was given by Webster H. Pearce, Superintendent of Public Instruction, and a former teacher in Albion High School. Mr. Warren S. Holmes, the architect who designed and planned the new building, presented it with its master key to the Board of Education, which Mr. Dice in turn presented to the school authorities and to the Public, Mr. Harrington graciously responding. Mr. J. N. Mauck, president emeritus of Hillsdale College and an intimate friend of Washington Gardner, gave a short address of appreciation, setting forth the high points of our great statesman. Music was furnished by Prof. L. U. Rowland of the College, and the High School Chorus, Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs. The second program, given February 9, was in the form of a pageant, America the Beautiful , directed by Miss Harriet Way. This pageant portrayed the various stages in the development of our country, showing in the first part the discovery of America, the coming of Columbus and of Henry Hudson. In part two were pictured colonial scenes, such as the trial of Roger Williams and the Declaration of Independence, leading up to the time of Lincoln and finally to the present time. The third part — the glorification of America — showed all those in the various walks of life who have given all in the interests of their country, who have made America what it is today. The pageant closed with the singing of America the Beautiful. Hon. Washington Gardner 3 -£ U v 3 BREE2EANNUAL fl) ) )_ JUL CZD rhofll (Eabttfoar Sept. 6 : School opened.

In the field of oratory, Harold Spiegel has represented the school. His oration: Monuments to Flanders with its fine oratorical expression coupled with a keen use of logic won first in the sub-district contest at Charlotte April 20th. On May 4 he won the district contest at Mason using the same oration. On May 18th he competed at the state contest held at Flint. The result of this contest was not known at the time of publi- cation of the Breeze Annual. This year Albion enrolled in the Michigan High School Extempore Speaking Association for the first time. The local contest displayed a fine interest in this type of speech work by the student body. Harold Spiegel was again honored by being chosen Albion ' s speaker at Ann Arbor in the district contest which he won, his subject being Our Bigger Navy Program. The week of May 5 he participated at Kalamazoo where lie won the State Champ- ionship. His subject at this contest was The Political Revolution in Illin- ois. This type of speech work is new to Albion and should prove valuable and interesting for student development in speech habit for public life.

Art iExtjthtt The week of April 16-20 was a special Art Week in the Albion Public Schools, with two definite aims : First, to give every pupil an opportunity to study a splendid collection of reproductions of Fine Art Masterpieces; Second, to raise funds with which to purchase pictures for out school, many rooms not having good pictures to relieve the plain walls. An exhibit of about 150 prints, all in color, were secured from the Colonial Art Co. of Oklahoma City. This exhibit had been placed in over 100 schools in Michigan and came highly recommended. The pictures, to- gether with a general exhibit of public school art work from the grades I to 12, were arranged in the grade gymnasium of the High School, and opened to public school pupils during the week. On the evening of April 19th the exhibit was opened to the public, followed by an entertainment of music, a one act play under the direction of Miss Way, and living Pictures under the direction of the P. T. A. Council, assisted by Mr. Ludwig. fcr: =3  f L ' '  ■■ CII— — J UlJ L u - EEZEANNUAL fl) ) ) .UiL Vn . ' i Zi tx. Jl_ . _X €Z TZJ FREEZE ANNUAL ) )_ ID H.

But a dead fly, man, persisted the customer, a dead fly?! How did it happen? I am sorry to say, sir, I have no idea how the poor creature met its fate. Possibly it had not taken any food for a long time, and, fluttering near the soup, found the flavor par- ticularly pleasing, and, eating too heartily, contracted appendicitis or some kindred ailment, which, in the ab- sence of an opportunity for the applica- tion of X-rays and the resultant opera- tion, caused its untimely demise. Try This One An Irishman was engaged to dig a well. When he had dug about twenty feet down, he came to the hole one morning and found it caved in and filled nearly to the top. Pat looked cautiously around, and seeing no one near, took off his hat and coat, hung them on the windlass, crawled into some bushes, and waited events. In a short time people discovered that the well had caved in; and see- ing Pat ' s hat and coat on the wind- lass, they supposed he had been buried by the fall of earth. Several hours of brisk digging cleared the loose earth from the well. Just as the eager work- ers had reached the bottom, and were wondering where the body was, Pat came out from the bushes and innocent- ly asked them what they were looking for. 3C5 j = L_JL V REE WA (ii__L i .— H Z) h c: :rs : v nzz?
