' - CLASS HISTORY I The beginning of September, 1911 started a new epoch, in the lives of two hundred and twenty-five girls and boys of Saginaw and in the history of tne Arthur Hiil High School. One could easily be- lieve that some great event was taking place by the extremely up- roarious condition of the school in general, and by the an unpin i- ant color ot green pervading the Freshman room. For the first few days we did nothing but stare and look stupid. We were the object ot several public demonstrations in whicli Hie Court House watering trough and the Freshman class figured too closely lor personal comfort. Gradually, however, we accepted the role of respectable Arthur Hill students, and incidentally tor our own welfare, prospered accordingly. At the time all attempts to mold the great variety of pupils in the 1911 Freshman class into some definite form, seemed futile. But by persevering efforts we at last hit upon a class organization which proved effective beyond all hopes. The officers elected for the first year were : The class started its work by choosing its present class colors, dark green and white. The colors were selected to a view of com- ing years and certainly have proven very tasteful and proper. Be- sides choosing the class colors no other definite work was under- taken; but the class did more — it laid an extremely sound founda- tion for future work. The. following September witnessed the great falling off in numbers which usually accompanies the transition of Freshman to Sophomores. But the one hundred and twenty that remained did not forget the good start made in the Freshman year. The class began where it had left off in June and immediately started its work. Officers were soon elected, the following being chosen: Walter Stark — President. Harriet Geer — Vice-President. Herr Brady — Secretary. Earl Ganschow — Treasurer. ' ' Where, Oh where are the verdant Freshman ? Where, Oh where, are verdant Freshman ? Where, Oh where, are the verdant Freshman? Safe, safe in the Sophomore class. Jay Orr — President. Doris Anschutz — Vice-President. Walter Stark — Secretary. Earl Ganschow — Treasurer. A yearning that the class do something was expressed by all. As a result of this desire for action the members of the class estab- lished the first precedent in their career and gave a dance calling it the Sophomore Social . The party was a success both socially and financially. In its second year the Sophomore class supplied its first quota of athletic men for the various teams of the schoo . Where, Oh where, are the gay young Sophomores? Where, Oh where, are the gay young Sophomores? Where, Oh where, are tbe gay young Sophomores? Safe, safe, in the Junior class. The next year with a class role of ninety we. entered upon the career of the merry, merry Juniors. Tndeed they were merry days and days of solid enjoyment and pbasure. The class chose very capable officers to guide them thru the social activities which are sure to come to the least responsive body of Juniors. The officers were : Richard Khuen — President. Earl Ganschow — Vice -President . Orton Goodsell — Secretary. Ford Curtis — Treasurer. The first opportunity for the school to appreciate the Junior class was at the Junior Dance. The ext time honoring function + be undertaken was the Junior Hor The Hop proved to be the most successful both socially and financially that had ever been given by any preceding class. The next event was the first annual Jimior Play — a precedent which startled the school. The cast under the direction of the Misses Morgan and Coney presented a very pleasing comedy in the play The Merchant of Venice Up to Date . The play was a srreat success financially also, the class reaping about one hundred dol- lars. The Juniors certainly made a good impression upon the retir- ing Seniors in the annual Junior Bannuet. The Banquet took place at the Fordney and proved a very delightful occasion. After being served a real banquet, after-dinner speeches were heard, followed by the presenting of the horn. We srot away with it too. After being the guests of the Senior Class at the delightful Senior Return Banquet, the class retired for vacation before their strenuous Senior year. Where, Oh where, are the jolly, jolly Juniors? Where, Oh where, are the jolly, jolly Juniors? Where, Oh where, are the jolly, jolly. Juniors? Safe, safe, in the Senior class. Fifty-five, the, largest number ever, cast their lot with the ci Si ,of 1915 and enrotied in a Senior Class, and thereby became grave, grave Seniors. Alter much serious thought the lollowmg people were honored uy tne class in being made its otiicers: Earl Ganschow — President. Wyatt Harper — Vice-President. Ulareuce itoeser — secretary. Orton Goodsell — Treasurer. The class started its o icst j uy selecting its pin. Next i uhil utuiscnow cliose our play committee, which alter several iuuiitiis ui tune spent, in reading over plays, selected ' The College r oiitician . In January the class gave a senior Dance ' , which proved to be a very pleasant occasion. We then decided to publish a ijegenuti. inc jjup r fajjcciivo .lux ' wai uco-iisiuj-i. as u.uLiiing exse can. Next we ordered our cards and announcements which in our mind are extremely well chosen. Then came the Senior Play which was an immense success. The cast rehearsed for ten weeks under the skilful direction of the Misses Morgan and (Joney and nnaiiy pre- sented the play without a flaw. The play paved the way for a feel- ing of ease on financial matters for approximately eleven hundred attended the play. The class then finished its school work and entered into the strenuous Graduation week. We were right royally entertained by the Juniors and made an effort to repay by a Senior Return. Then on June 24, 1915, we said good-bye to old Arthur Hill and entered the world. ; . i u ■ Farewell to high school life ; but our work has merely begun. May we carry as much energy into the good works in the world as we have shown in those school affairs with which we were con- nected. , t Where, Oh where, are the grave old Seniors?

A cool breeze is blowing in from the river, calming and soothing the hot and weary ' people in the city. It has been a day of festivity of car- nival, and of excessive pleasure, but tomorrow is to be the biggest Jay of all, the closing day of the State Fair. Tomorrow there will be a ball game — Philadelphia plays Chicago ; there will be the aeroplane flights and balloon ascensions ; and in the evening there will be fireworks ; but best of all, there will be automobile races on the Fairgrounds racetrack. The river is dotted with many moving green and red lights, the light of river steamers, of yachts, and of launches. Before us are the parks, plain by day, but brilliant at night, electricity has changed nature ' s simple garb to a scene of tawdry splendor and thousands of people view the scene with feelings quite different from the feeling and spirit of patriotism due to the occa- sion. Dinner is being served to a party of twelve young men. Tall, straight and muscular young men, they are, and celebrated person- ages in the world of wealth and fashion, too. The dinner is being served in one of the most beautiful man- sions in the city. The decoral ons in the rooms are sumptious, the pictures are beautiful. The young men are dressed in the height of fashion ; their behavior is elegant. The dinner is given in honor of a young millionaire sportsman, Hugh Wandeman, who is entered for the principal automobile race on the tomorrow. 2. One after another of the guests toast the man who has never been beaten , the hero of many a race, the young millionaire sports- man. But a frown has come upon the face of Wandeman, a frown which grows blacker with each toast, to the man who has never been beaten. At length the time has arrived for Wandeman to reply and he rises to the occasion. Gentlemen he says, you do me an honor which I cannot re- pay. The occasion demands of me an explanation, the cause of which I thought was known. Two years ago when I was a Junior at Yale I became a con- testant in an automobile race. There was among the contestants, a sophomore, named Thomas Elberts. Gentlemen, Mr. Elberts was studying Mechanical Engineering ,and was a brilliant student. There was among the notable racers of the day, one named Jim Fowler, but Fowler, for some reason or other withdrew and lent his car to Mr. Elberts. Gentlemen, Mr. Elberts won that race, and won it fairly. That, gentlemen was the only time I have ever been beaten. Gentlemen, Mr. Elberts is entered for the twenty-five mile race tomorrow. He uses Mr. Fowler ' s new racing car, the Mer- cides. 3. A second scene in direct contrast to the preceding one deserves the attention of the reader. It is the picture of the sitting room in a quiet, modest, little home in the suburbs of the city; the homo of John Elberts. The room is decorated simply. The furniture and pictures are plain, but they are placed about the room with quiet taste. John Elberts is seated by the fireplace and as the red flames cast their wierd shadows upon his face we see the furrows on his brow, and his grey hair, but there is a kind look in the old man ' s eyes, a look of love and happiuess and pride, for he is thinking of his son. The mother is seated by the table. She has tried to sew. but al- ways as she starts to ply the luedle, she needs must stop, for there comes the thought of her son. But she is nervous tonight for tomor- low will bring a crisis in the placid life of her home. Tomorrow ' s events will decide whether or not her son can continue his college course. Tomorrow her son ' s life will be endangered, perhaps lost, but she must be brave for there is no other way. And the little mother resumes her sewing, only to be again interrupted by thots of her son. All huddle up in the big arm chair across the room is little Mary, and little Mary is silently weeping. She had pictured in her mind a great race track and an automobile race. There is a wreck and she sees her brother carried from the track. Then Mary weeps for fear. But again she pictures the end of the race. She sees her brother cross the line in the lead. She sees her brother the victor, and then little Mary weeps for joy. She sits all unnoticed in the big arm chair weeping for her brother. Presently the sounds of footsteps is heard and a young man en- ters the room. The cry of little Mary disturbs the thots of the father and mother, and the son is welcomed home. Well, father , he says, everything is ready for the morrow. Jim Fowler is ill and cannot race tomorrow and I am going to drive his car. It is such a splendid car mother, a Mercides racer. It runs just perfect. Thomas, my son, savs the father, we wish you success with all our hearts, but we wish there had been some other way for you to get the money for your last year in college. Yes , my boy, please do be careful pleads the mother. But Thomas is enthusiastic, he does not realize the danger, he is eager for the race. Father, says Thomas, Hugh Wandeman and the others are racing for honor, while I shall race for money. I have beaten Wandeman once, I must win again. It means five hundred dollars to me. 4. The afternoon of the fourth has come, and everywhere the peo- ple are going to the race track. The band is playing and the people are cheering, the great grand stand is filled. Down in the box seats sit eleven men, the guests at the dinner the preceding evening. Far back in the grand- stand sits an old man, a little woman, and a little girl. Such scenes are strange to them. Before them stretches a race track. The track is not a saucered one, but a dangerous mile course track. Six cars stand in front of the grandstand. Strange looking cars they are ; big, long, hoods covering powerful engines ; in fact they are almost all engine. Two hours have passed. The motorcycle races are over, and the aeroplanes have made their flights. The lesser automobile races are done, and Hugh Wandeman is winner of them all. The green Mercides car has stood strangely silent all afternoon, but now there comes a figure across the track which caused little Mary to gasp. Thomas Elberts has been recognized. Suddenly there is heard a terrific noise as the many cylinders of the Mercides give vent to a loud roar. The Mercides is going around the track for a tryout. A suspicious tear glistens in the eye of a little old woman far np in the grandstand, and joy beams from the face of John Elberts. The Mercides completes the tryout and becomes silent again. One after another the other cars speed around the track on the tryout. Hugh Wandeman ' s car is No. 1., Thomas Elberts No. 6. At length the tryouts are over and the cars line up for the start. The silence is intense. Thousands of eyes are turned upon six low racing cars. BANG, The race is on. With a tremendous roar six cars leap forward ; six pair of hands are clenched npon six wheels, and six pairs of eyes are glued to the track before them. On, on, they speed, No. 1 in the lead on the inside of the track, and No. 2 second. The other cars remain even. On, on they go around the second curve, and the third, and down the home stretch, at a terrific speed. One mile is past. Look ! No. 6 forges ahead : even now with No. 2 ; now back a little, now — but look, No. 6 slows down and stops. Thomas Elberts jumps from the car, with a tool in hand. But what is the trouble? A loud roar — five cars rush past — one minute lost. A deft turn of the wrist, a tightening of a screw, and Thomas Elberts is in the car again, a mile and a half behind. But Thomas Elbert ' s face is just a little paler, and his chin just a little more prominent than before. His gleaming eyes search on the track before him. A roar, and No. 6 is going around the course. But No. 6 is Tmwjyiria ' close the inside of the track. The turn is at hand but Thomas Elberts does not slacken his speed. He takes the turn full speed still hugging the inside of the track. Thousands of eyes onw watch one car instead of five. Two, three, four, miles past and Elberts over a mile behind. Disappointment shows in the face of John Elberts ; sorrow in the face of his wife. No. 1 still leads the race with 2 and 3 close fol- lowers. Five, six, seven miles past, and on up to ten. But look — Elberts is only a mile behind and slowly but surely creeping up. There is a glimmer of hope in Elbert ' s eyes, for he is gaining. The fifteenth mile is past and No. 6 is only half a mile be- hind. The eyes of old John Elberts brighten. There is hope for No. 6. j Twenty-three miles past and No. 6 is a hundred feet in the rear, and the car is still hugging the inside of the track and .slowly creep- ing up. The turn is at hand. Five cars slacken speed but No. 6 does not ; again the turn and again No. 6 forges ahead. The Mercides is running even with No. 4 now and now No. 5. Down the home stretch they come. Twenty-four miles past. Again the turn, Now is Elbert ' s last chance. No. 1 is directly in front of No . 6 hugging the inside of the track. No. 1 slows down for the turn. No. 6 leaves its position and dashes ohliquely across the track at full speed. Around the second turn they go, No. 6 and No. 1 are even. Around the third and fourth turns and down the home stretch. The silence is profound. See them come tearing along the ground at a fearful rate. No. 1 draws ahead but falls back again. The end of the race is at hand. The cars cross the line. All eyes turn to the scoreboard. No. 6 26:21 1-5. No. 1 26:21 2-5. Thomas Elberts has won. c PHILOMATHIC OFFICERS First Semester President Herman Block Vice-President Adeline Stewart Secretary Lizette Deibel Treasurer Emmett Davis Second Semester President ' - F1 °y d Morrie Vice-President Irene Harper Secretary Francis Nash Treasurer Geraldine Graves Faculty Advisor Miss Nash PHILOMATHIC At the beginning of the new school year the Philomathic soci- ety resumed its activities and worked as if the vacation had put a large amount of ginger into the members. The meetings were held regularly. The main feature of the meetings being the debates. During the year we decided that Pork Barrel Bills should not be prohibited. We also decided that we would rather live in the coun- try than in the city. The last debate, Resolved that the Senior Return Should be Abolished ' showed the ability of the members at impromptu de- bating. In this debate as well as in all of the other debates, includ- ing a large number not mentioned the subject was very well hand- led. Another pleasing part of the programs was the well prepared and well read papers. We are very fortunate in having several good musicians in our society. The ready response of these members to our requests for music was a source of much pleasure and enjoyment. Several good musicians, not members, gave us some enjoyable additions to the regular program. The singing of the Arthur Hill Symphony Club was appreciated. One of the attractive parts of the program was the setting aside of certain nights for the consideration of literary men. Will Carleton, our Michigan poet, was the first author, whose historv (md writings were discussed. On another evening ' Henry ' s life story was given and a humorous story written by him was read. One of the novelties that was entertaining, was a program in news- Ipaper form. The editorial was well written, althoiigh it lacked some newspaper slang. The Philomathic News informed us how some of the members spent their spare time. The ambitions of our Seniors were revealed in the Senior Prophecy. The children ' s page showed insight on the part of the writer. The Storiettes showed that we have some good short story writers among our members. We all enjoyed the jokes for the joker certainly pulled off some good ones. The society was so prominent and membership was desired by so many that the roll was increased to forty-five names. The en- largement of the society did not take care of all the applicants. As soon as a vacancy occiired several members of the school were ready to become members. At the close of the year a banrmet was given by the society. The date of the feast being May 28. Thiswas one meeting at which all members were present. It was some feed, thank to Miss Wells and some of the other hard working members. As a whole the society has been very successful, thanks to the pep of the officers and members.

Detroit Eastern -had promised a return debate for this year but the Debating Club died before the time came for it to fulfill its promise. We had no better luck with Bay City Eastern, although that club was only in a state of comatose. Saginaw East Side High was the lives! in the bunch. They accepted our challenge and the date for the de- bate was set for April 23. Later a triangular debate was arranged ' with Bay City Eastern as the third school. In the meantime a de- bate with Flint was arranged, but Flint withdrew. During this time Miss Nash was hard at work prepar- ing the teams for the triangular Debate. The boys certainly work- ed hard, but Miss Nash kept things humming. One week before the great day, Bay City Eastern dropped out. thus reducing the tri- angular to a double debate. The time the debaters had spent in preparation was well used for their opponents were not to be easilv beaten. Nevertheless we won at both places by a vote of two to one. We congratulate the team and the coach, and hope the society will keep up its good work next year.

The play was a huge success, the cast displaying great histrionic ability. The plot centers about a certain wealthy young man, by the name ot fed Kingsley. On Thursday evening, he decides to be- come a candidate for the election of foot-ball manager, which is to take place on Saturday. Kingsley comes to this decision, because Dan and Pudge, two of his college mates, tell him the girl he is in- terested in is Rachael Templeton, The College Widow , and that he cannot hope to win any attention from her unless he holds Some college office. The girl, however, in whom he really is interested turns out to be Alice Bailey, the sister of his rival Frank Bailey. After discovering the identity of Alice Bailey, Ted decides to with- draw from the election. Dan and Pudge, however, do not allow him to do so. Ted ' s attempt to withdraw involves him in many entang- ling circumstances, but in the end everything turns out to the sat- isfaction of all parties.

The Juniors were organized as a class early in the year and chose as their president, James Jerome ; Vice-President, Harriet Geer ; Secretary, William Naisymyth ; Treasurer, George Clark. The class of ' 16 gave the best and most enjoyable Junior Hop in the history of the school, January 2, 1915, at Teutonia Hall. This entertainment was unusually attractive; the hall being beautifully decorated through the efforts of the class members, and excellent music being furnished by the Third Regiment Orchestra, led by Dan Russo. The Hop proved to be a very great success, about seventy-five couples attending. Not only have the Juniors given the best of dances, but they have been more than well represented in the athletics of the school. Richter has been the foot-ball captain, Benway the base-ball cap- tain, and Jerome the track captain. They have furnished the best foot-ball and baseball players; and owing to their superior skill in track Avork, they carried off first honors in the Indoor Track Meet at the Y. M. C. A., leaving the seniors far behind them. The Juniors have also gave a very successful play on Feb- ruary 9, 1915. Bachelor Hall will never be forgotten by those who saw it. The play was so great, a success, that the seniors had to work hard to be not outdone. The Juniors are preparing to give the annual Junior Banquet at the Saginaw Canoe Club the week following examinations. All Juniors, Seniors, and members of the faculty are invited to attend. This event, without doubt, will be the most promising one in the school year, and it would be more than worth while for all those having the privilege to attend it. JUNIOR PLAY Following the example set by this year ' s graduating class when in its Junior year, the present Junior class, on February 19, 1915, offered for the approval of the Saginaw public the second annual Junior play, Bachelor Hall . The play which is a farce-comedy in three acts was well pre- sented. It pictures the living room of the Hon. Geoffrey Myrlleton in Washington, D. C, where private theatricals are being rehearsed. During the evening ' s production two of Myrlleton ' s narrow-minded constituents arrive unexpectedly so that many embarassing compli- cations arise which caused much merriment to the onlookers.

H. H. S. Among the Athletes we stand high. We have five letter men. Four of our boys played football; two of the basketball quintet were sophomores ; and five members of first baseball team belong to this class. Other school activities are supported by the class in a similar way. Though making no display, but working quietly, this class bids fair to make a strong and reliable Junior class which will up- hold all the traditions of former classes and possibly show that there are things yet to be discovered. The freshman class organized this year intending to do things, and they did ! They accomplished an unheard of feat this year when they gave a freshman dance which, although not a financial success, was a great social event in the school year, and the class feel that they have done their part in making this a pleasant school year. They also took another very important step when, in their meeting in May, they voted to prohibit all smokers from holding office in the class of 1918. They feel that in this they have taken a very important step for the pupil ' s welfare, and feel that time will prove it so. So it may be seen that as freshmen they did things, and as up- per classmen will probably do great things. George L. Barrows. HIGH SCHOOL CLUB A High School Club? Yes, we have one. The opening meeting was held October 9, 1914 in the Y. M. C. A. Banquet Hall. At this meeting officers were elected. Our esteemed fellow student, Mr. J. Jay Orr was elected President with his colleague, Mr. Harvey L. Myers, as his Vice-President. The other members of his select cabi- net consisted of Mr. Herbert C. Lee, Secretary, and Mr. Dan Hor- gan, Treasurer. With this body of competent men President Orr began his term of office by appointing a Social and Program Committee. At the opening meeting Lieut. Herbert P. Nordwall and his sister Wilhel- mina of Amsterdam, Holland were the guests of the club. Other speakers of the evening were Mr. Wyatt E. Harper and Dr. F. A. Poole. The second meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A. on November 6, 1914. The speakers of the evening were Mr. Kurt Opperman of the Saginaw High School who spoke on the coming conference and Mr. B. B. Johnson, State Student Secretary. He talked on The All Round Man. At this time the program committee presented the program which they had prepared and had printed. It consisted of the dates for future meetings with their speakers and their subjects. The program was very interesting and was accepted unanimously. A motion was laid before the Chair that the Club be broken up into separate groups consisting of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors for weekly Bible study, and that the Club as a whole should get together at least once a month to discuss what they had done. This motion was carried and was followed out with great success. The third meeting was held on December 4, 1914. Mr. Fred Schmidt of Saginaw High School spoke on the State Boys ' Confer- ence and showed by his speech that he understood his subject verv well. Mr. Herbert C. Lee, Dr. F. A. Poole, Principal W. W. War- ner, and Principal M. B. Baker were the other speakers of the even- ing- Our motto which was accepted at this meeting was ' ' Clean Speech, Clean Habits, and Clean Athletics. It was moved that we have more friendliness between Saginaw High School and Arthur Hill High School, a measure which although adopted seemed un- necessary for many members of the Club were Saginaw men, and as 1 far as hostilities between the two schools were concerned, none ever existed. At the fourth meeting on February 22, 1915, Mr. Gault of Flint told his experiences while traveling through Europe on a motor- cycle at the time war broke out. On April 16, the sixth and last meeting was held. Dr. A. R. McKinney, Mr. Lloyd Crane, and Mr. J. E. Anderson gave final talks on their respective business positions and gave the members of the Club some sound advice on how to begin life in the Business World. The Club has been a success throughout and those who neglect- ed to join or attend the meetings surely lost something which they will never be able to replace. Many fellows will be able to look back on their school days and say with pleasure. ' Outside of good Arthur Hill itself there is only one place where I learned as much as in school. That was at the High School Club. ARTHUR HILL SYMPHONY CLUB Among the various organizations of the school we number a musical club which aims, not to instruct in music, but to give plea- sure to its members through singing together. This club which is un- der the able supervision of Mrs. Kate L. D. Miller, is known as the Arthur Hill Symphony Club. The officers are as follows: President — Miss Adeline Stewart. Vice-President — Miss Ruth Biesterfeld. Secretary and Treasurer — Lizette Diebel. Any girl of the High school who signs our constitution may join us. Mrs. Miller and Miss Pfieffer are the faculty members. The club has been quite pdpular during this, its first year, hav- ing appeared before the public five times. The first appearance was made at the Philomathic Society, the next at the Farmers ' s Insti- tute, which was held at the Auditorium, and then at the Oratorical Contest. On April 16, the Symphony Club united with the H. H. of H. H. and gave an operetta, The Spinsters Club , at the Michigan Ave. Baptist Church, which proved to be a success in presentation as well as in a financial way. So successful was this entertainment that we repeated it at the Fordney Ave. Baptist Church with simi- lar success. Judging from the remarks of hearers, the singing was favorably received. The ehab is planning to close a very enjoyable and successful year with a banquet. Since a number of the members of the club are Seni ors there will be some change in the personnel of the club next year but we expect that others will enter and fill the vacant places so that thin work, now nicely begun, may be carried on and become a strong or ganization. The Girls ' Club was organized in October, 1912. The object of the club is to make the girls better acquainted with one another, and to encourage a stronger school spirit. The club has now been in existence three years and its object is being successfully carried out by the members. The officers for the club this year are : President — Geraldine Graves. Vice-President — Pearl Proestel . Secretary and Treasurer — Jennie Dembinski. Faculty Advisors — Miss Morgan, Miss Wells. Advisory Board: Senior — Marguerite Smith Junior — Ruth Biesterfeld. Sophomore — Lura Wylie. Freshmen — Evelyn Needham, Flotilla Warren, Tina Lor- enzen. On September 23, the club held a meeting in the ninth grade session room, for freshmen only. The object of the meeting was to enroll new members for the club. Miss Graves, president, gave an excellent talk on the object of the meeting. Miss Proestel gave an exceedingly good talk on how the club was organized. Miss Morgan then gave a very interesting talk on the object of the club, and what the club had accomplished during the past year. During the month of October several Get Acquainted parties were given on the lawn at the close of the session. These parties (proved a success, inasmuch as the girls of the Freshmen class be- came better acquainted with the members of the upper classes. On Friday evening of December 17th a Christmas entertain- Iment was given in the ninth grade session room. A splendid and amusing program was given through the efforts of our girls. The program consisted of several short playlets and recitations, at. the close of which Santa Claus made an unexpected visit and dis- tributed gifts to all of us. On Saturd ' av pftprnoon of Mav 7th a play The Betty Wales ' Girls and Mr. Kidd was given, girls from the club forming the :Cast. No one present doubted the ability of our girls. The credit for the success of the play is due to Miss Wells and Miss Koslowsky who so patiently directed the girls. During the three years of its existence the club has accomplish- ed a great deal for the benefit of the girls, by bringing them to- gether and helping them to get acquainted with each other, but )there is much still to be desired. How much better it would be if all girls would ioin. as everv one is elio-ib 1 ?. if every one should turn out for the meetings and be ready to help and give suggestions in- stead of leaving it to the few ambitions ones. How much more would be gained if we show our loyalty and school spirit by attending all the school activities and by taking a deep interest in all events con- nected with the High School. ill [ HOWLING HOUNDS OF HILL HIGH | Last fall the organization of two glee clubs was taken up. The Howling Hounds of Hill High was a result of the vocal ingenu- ity of the male division of the school. Dues were levied to secure music and weekly practice was indulged in. The result was the securing of a fine male chorus, one that the school could well be proud of. The first public appearance of this organization surely was a success, for imediately afterward appeared new applicants for ad- mission. In co-operation with the Girls ' Symphony Club an oper- etta, The Spinsters Club was presented at both the Michigan Avenne and the Fordney Avenue Baptist churches with marked success. Tt was at the latter place that the Howling Hounds showed their greatest abiltiy as a harmony organiaztion. This is the school ' s first attempt to produce a vocal club and the first year surely has been successful. A club of this sort is, in- deed, a necessity and we hope that it may be continued in the fu- ture. The following members wish to thank Mrs. Miller for her un- tiring efforts in leading them thru a successful year: Walter Stark Harvey Snanlding Herman Block William Oppenheim Daniel Horeran Walter Steinbauer Henry Green wald Clarence Roeser EdAvard Dezelsky Wyatt Harper Earl Ganschow The social fimctions of our school this year were numerous and all were successful and enjoyable. The Juniors, as usual, opened the festivities with a dance at Smith Hall at which everyone thoroughly enjoyed himself. The Junior Hop followed, being given at Teutonia Hall. The Juniors again proved themselves royal entertainers and set a lively pace for the other classes. The music was furnished by the 3rd Regiment Orchestra and punch was served during the evening. The grand march was led by the president, James Jerome. Later on during the year on a fine Friday evening the Seniors gave a little party at the usual place, Smith Hall. Nevertheless it proved a big success socially and a near success financially. For the first time in several years the Freshman class woke up, removed their bibs, and decided to give a dance. Preparations were made and the dance was given at Teutonia Hall. The hall was prettily decorated with flowers. Refreshments were served through- out the party and excellent music was furnished by the 3rd Regi- ment Orchestra. We certainly give the Freshmen very much credit for this successful party. The last dance was given by the Juniors who showed their usual class and high quality. We may say that the Juniors have done their share in the social activities of this school year. Again we hear of the Juniors giving the annual Junior Ban- quet which will be given in its usual high style. We hear rumors also, of the annual Senior Return which ushers the Seniors out of school and which always closes the year ' s festivities. Le Cercle Francais Le Cercle Francais is a new organization in the Arthur Hill High School. Its initial meeting was held January 19, 1915, at the home of Miss Keating. At this time the officers of the club were elected, those chosen being Ethel Raymond, president ; Fern Finley, vice-president ; Edwina Smith, secretary ; and Miss Keating, fac- ulty adviser. The aim of the club is to further skill in conversing in the French language. In order to carry out this idea, word-games are played and tete-a-tetes carried on in French. Later, it is hoped that French music and literature will be discussed. Games as well as musical selections on the Victrola have played a large part in the entertainments. The membership at present is fifteen, tho many more are ex- pected to enroll next year. It must be remembered that Rome was toot built in a day, nor in fact, was any other great organization. May this club, tho still in its infancy, grow steadily, so that in the near future Le Cercle Francais will be counted as one of the most important factors in the social life of the Arthur Hill High School. COMMENCEMENT WEEK AND A LITTLE BEFORE Mr. and Mrs. Baker ' s Senior Party justifies the last part of our title. On June 2nd they royally entertained us at a Lucky Lark Party at the St. John ' s Guild House. The faculty and all of the Seniors were guests. A fine lunch was served, the time which , passed all too quickly was spent in carrying on contests, the win- ! ners receiving prizes most of which fell to the girls. Humorous readings and recitations were heard and original songs were (sung?). The party later broke up, everyone being reluctant to leave and at the same time declaring what a good time they had had. (We thank you again Mr. and Mrs. Baker.) With the baccalaureate address commencement week began The address was given by Dr. H. R Stark al the First Presbyterian Church on June 20. The class was indeed fortunate in securing Dr. Stark to give this address and duly appreciated the honor. Next came the Junior Banquet of which you have heard much before. As you already know it was given at the Canoe Club. A banquet it was for no Government Banquet to the Foreign Diplo- mats ever excelled it. Toasts were given to the Senior, the Juniors, the Faculty, and the Athletics. The horn was presented by the Seniors and graciously received by the Juniors. Dancing followed and still being school children the grave Senior and festive Juniors were ushered out at 12 o ' clock. Commencement came on Thursday. June 24. The Seniors re- ceived their diplomas with heavy hearts for our ties with good old Arthur Hill were broken but we shall never forget the happy days spent inside its doors. The last event of the week and also of the year was the Senior return. It was some return and the feed was some feed. The eats committee was certainly on the job as everyone testified. When this pleasont day had passed school festivities were over and vacation began. J ATHLiHTICS BASKET BALL I i ■ , i J With a team absolutely devoid of letter men from previous years, Capt. Groodsell from the start, a star, surprised us all by covering Bay City Eastern with a 45 to 39 game. The work of the players in this game indicated the future record of the team, and the work of Good sell, Brooks, well there I go — naming the whole team. The nextgame (swallow) with Dort Night School was a 49 to 28 defeat. But we take pride in the 26 to 22 result with the Saginaw High that put forth an elaborate display of ' shining stars which ne- cessitates ditto marks under the stars already named, i. e., the whole team. Carrying out the custom of alternating victory with defeat, we lost the next game to Bay City Western by a score of 43 to 33. ■Then forgetting to alternate we lost the game the following week to Alpena but made up for lost reputation by beating Flint by a score of 89 to 13. Proceeding again on the pendulum plan, we had a relapse the next week and Bay City Eastern piled up, 51 points to our 21. We recuperated sufficiently to come back the next week with a 64 to 17 victory over Lansing, and to put one over Bay City Western in a game which put us within one victory of the Valley cup, we had only to beat Bay City Western again — nothing to do till tomorrow. This meant an awful fight, for the score of the game that put us in line was 26 to 25, and each team had played a strong game. The next game we played, a little training match for the play off with Bay City, we won by netting 41 points to 40 marked up for the Michigan School for the Deaf. The night came for the cup game, which was to be played on the floor of the Flint Y. Both teams were in ship shape tho from the resulting score it would seem that Bay City was in the shipper shape than we were. We were on the top-next rung of the golden ladder ; for a whole season we had climbed and slipped until now we were with- in slipping distance of the Valley Cup, also slipping distance — ? x x Bay City Western 47— Arthur Hill 15. We base our hopes for next year on the victories of this year and those lines from Tennyson : Victor from vanquish ' d issues at the last, And overthrower from being over thrown. FOOTBALL i i j After several weeks of incubation, under the supervision of Coach Emil Tessin, Arthur Hill ' s brood of football players ' uuu ' .. ed out in time to get an early set-back at Flint. They were not birds of fine feathers at first — birds never are, so we pass on from the Flint score — 29 to 6 — swallow it without eomplainng, and come to the next game, one with Alpena. Here we find the honors dis- tributed in the ratio, 20 : 6 : : A. H. H. S. : F. H. S.— a flattering lit- tle piece of algebra ; it must be that the R. J. Williams training table had something to do with this. This game was the most sat- isfactory ceremony that could have been held at the opening of Mer- rill Park, and the fact that the first lost foot-ball game played on that field was such a success, proved to be a true indication of the success of our foot-ball season. I say success, — 1 mean it, but we must swallow a defeat once in a while as seasoning ; for instance the next game — Alpena, 13 — A. H. H. S. 12. We are sorry that this little affair could not have taken place away from home, for though there is nothing so discouraging about that score, and there ecv - tainly was little to be desired in the way of fight on the part of our team, we must say, in swallowing, that the officials courted the favor of Alpena as though they intended to run for mayor at the next election. The next game was a victory for Arthur Hill : Bay City Eastern — 0. A. H. H. S. 19. The next game with Lansing was the one with Alpena featured referees. The result was that when we were deprived of two touch-downs, we could not stand the loss of blood, so died at the rate of 14 to 10. After two more games with the Michigan School for the Deaf and the other with Mason, the A. H. men were in time for Turkey-day (crackers and milk for the team). Coach Tessin had spent many tedious, and boistrous hours with the team, and the team had spent as many tiresome, toilsome, swear-a-little hour s with him, and as a result of this splendid coach- ing on the one hand, and perseverance on the other (mud on the other) Saginaw High was trampled under-foot and lost to view. But we trust that the team next year will resurrect the hidden derelect and after staving in a few ribs, sink it, to lie resurrected and pound- ed down again for many years to come. We cannot mention any names as stars, for once we should have begun we should have to name the whole team, but it would be impossible to refrain from tossing an extra flower to Capt. Richter, Capt. elect Patterson, Benway, Goodsell, well see there I go, and this space costs money. BASE BALL - i - -| — - l - - i - - ■■ ■ - Gapt. Benway and Coach Orowly, after a few days work out on the field of the grammar school days, transported their bunch of stale yet promising prospectives from the round house to Merrill Park, and began work in earnest. By the time the suits were washed, mended and patched, a base- ball team was picked, and we were ready for the first game. Some of the players were green, and most of the letter men were playing new positions, with the exception of Brooks, who continues to serve the stuff from the mound. This first game, in consistency with tradition, was with ,;the alumni. We defeated the College Boys — even injured one. The first real game was with Flint, and so was the score — 3 to 2. The next week Lansing took a whack at us with 17 to 13 score. We fol- lowed this by another defeat at Bay City 3 to against us. The following, Saturday we solved the problem and sent this team on to the field in new suits. Saginaw was amazed, in fact overwhelmed with both the team and the new suits and we beat them in a game, which reads 8 to 9. The suits are working fine, and the fellows in them; we beat Bay City Eastern by a score of to 4. This game probably ends this season. Moral : It pays to buy suits. TRACK •■■• Mm mmm mm i Artluir Hill track men got an early start on track work at the Y and consequently were ready for a meet the very first of the season, an inter-class meet, was held in the gymnasium of the Y. The Juniors won ovtr the other classmen, for the first time in the history of the school. The Seniors followed, and the Sophomores were only saved from the last place by the Freshies taking it. A few weeks later we had an in-door meet with Saginaw High, and were badly beaten, yet not so badly when one considers the fact that we had only about eight men at the meet to compete with their whole track squad. Later in the season the Sophomores took the Junior honors from them in a second inter-class meet. Then a few weeks ago we had the first out-door track meet of the season, and of the six or seven men entered to represent four classes, the Seniors were the victors. But the Sophs were without representation and the fresh- men had a one man team, so the victory was not worth as much as it sounds. Last week the A. H. track men took part in a triangular meet along with Bay City and Saginaw and came out winners by orTe point, Saginaw getting second and Bay City third. Considering the condition of the track, good records were made, and Arthur Hill ' s prospects were fairty good for the Valley meet. The Valley Meet was held at Alumni Field Saturday, May twenty-ninth, 1915, under the auspices of Arthur Hill High School. Fine weather favored the athletes, the track being in a good condition. Alpena with a majority of her 1914 track men back, was picked as a winner with Arthur Hill of Saginaw second. The meet was hotly contested. Arthur Hill and Alpena running about even in the first half of the contest. A little later Alpena broke away and cinched the meet. Arthur Hill took second place, with little difficulty, Saginaw drawing berth number three. Bay City Eastern and Bay City Western tied, for fourth place, fifth place falling to Flint. Arthur Hill showed unexpected strength and made a fine show- ing, even capturing the first three places in the broad jump. The point winners were Captain Jerome, Walter Stark, Jay Orr, Harvey Spaulding, Elmer Spaulding. Wilbur Richter, and Roy Benway. Much credit for the rounding into form of the track men is dne to Mr. OUie Richards. Mr. Richards offered his services and as a result we have an aggregation of which we can well be proud. An Admonition to the Underclassmen You now have in hand the second Legenda. You may like the book and be vohxble in your praises of its merits or you may criticise its faults, but remember one thing, that perhaps you, too, may issue a Legenda. In all undertakings, difficulties are sure to arise and so it is with a year book. Problems appear in rapid order and they must be solved. One problem that will confront you is how to raise a sufficient amount of money to make the book at least a par- tial success. The people who advertise are the ones who insure a successful book. As you wish to have your book a success you will undoubt- edly seek the patronage of the same business people who have adver- tised in this issue. Will these men advertise? That is up to you. Here comes the explanation : If you wish to make a purchase pick out a Legenda advertiser and buy from him. Furthermore, tell him you saw his ad in this book so that he will appreciate its value. Then when you later call on him to contribute his announcement of his goods for the next number he will feel that it is to his advantage to do so. So we repeat — It ' s up to you. Once more the Legenda makes its appearance. Its existence is due to the interest taken in it by many members of the class and of the faculty. The Executive Board wishes to thank the Legenda Board who in turn are extremely thankful to Miss Coney for her kind help and good judgment. It is our fondest hope that this book will be published yearly. May such hopes be realized. VERY CLOSELY RELATED.
