Soon responsibility will take the place of our care-free life. Along about this time we begin to take on more manly poise, and really start to be men and women. It is also the time when we are placed upon our own resources, that material in the form of knowledge and experience, to help us decide our walks of life. Soon we shall separate and follow the many different roads of life. For some this road will be broad and well travelled; for others it may be a winding ti ' ail, but we hope whichever it is, it will lead to success. It will take some on through college or university, where we can obtain more tools and equipment to fight the battle to success; others will work their way into their places by filling the many openings of this day and age. Whatever we do, let us keep in mind the words of Stevenson: To travel hopefully is better than to arrive, and the true success is to labor. No matter which we take, let ' s hope that when we reach our places in this world, we won ' t forget the old high school, where our journey was begun. It ' s doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow man; It ' s figuring how and learning why. And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming a little and doing much; It ' s keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed. RAYMOND HART. MARY MAKES A MISTAKE GERALDINE SICKLER Mary had a date, not the kind that comes from the land of palm and olive oils, but a genuine date that one makes over the telephone. However, this story w ouldn ' t have hap- pened if Mary hadn ' t been possessed of a poor memory. Mary had another engagement that she had entirely forgotten when speaking to Bruce Wharton. When the fatal night came, Mary went down the stairs as only acknowledged belles dare. She was confidently sure that she was very beautiful and that the night would be a success. She peeped through the half drawn curtains of the living room and saw Bruce Wharton, who had just returned from college. She sighed. Then something caught her attention at the other side of the room and she beheld Jack Gibbs, the inevitable other man she had forgot- ten in the excitement of seeing Bruce. This time, she groaned. The future looked very doubtful to Mary (as the novelists say). She was afraid to enter that dreaded room. Suddenly these two attractive young men had taken the appearance of greedy orges. She went back to her room, on the foolish pretext of getting her handkerchief. Another surprise awaited her. Celeste, her French maid, was still there, but a very different Celeste than she had left. There she stood guiltily in the middle of the room with Mary ' s new dancing frock on with the satin slippers to match. I didn ' t mean anything, she gasped. I regret, Madamoiselle. Mary stood staring at her stupidly. The girl was absolutely the most beautiful person she had ever seen, the old-rose frock enchanting her dark loveliness. Suddenly, a wild idea entered Mary ' s head, here was her salvation. Instead of listening to angry torrents of words. Celeste was surprised to hear Mary say: Oh, Celeste, don ' t fail me. You ' re simply wonderful. Celeste listened further to Mary. You are my friend just arrived from Paris. Don ' t understand American ways. Love American men. Vamp with your eyes, not your tongue. Don ' t talk much. If you fail me I ' ll have you fired. A little later, Mary entered the living room followed by a small, dark, little creature with sad, young-old eyes. I meant to have it all a surprise. Mary smiled, as she introduced Celeste. She just arrived from Paris and I wanted her all to myself before you romped away with my Parisian belle. Romped was the word, but it was Celeste that romped, not the men, nor even Mary. In five minutes. Celeste was calling the men her great big lonesome boys. And they liked it, much to Mary ' s surprise and disgust. Mary might have been Biddy, the cook, for all the men knew or cared. Let ' s go down to the club, Mary suggested dryly at length. Bruce came down to earth. It was he who was to have taken Mary to a dance at the club. Jack became Celeste ' s escort. Celeste wore Mary ' s ermine wrap. To Mary the evening was never ending, to Jack it was over too quickly. Celeste became the rage at the club. Everybody was big boy or, petite flapper. Mary was admired about as much as a chaperon. The mystery of who she really was only added interest to the already famous foreigner. Jack begged to see her again, but she only smiled wisely and shook her head. Then he asked Mary, and Mary, not smiling so wisely, merely shook her head and said, I ' m going home. Is that definite? How wonderful she was, thought Jack. What girl in all America could equal her. But she did not even turn in the doorway to bid him good-night. You ought to try Zigfield Follies snapped Mary, when they were inside the house. I might, suggested Celeste, only my husband and children might object. HELEN OF TROY, OHIO Take any one of our several dictionaries in common use, and if you select the same one I did, and turn to the word, money, you will find something like this — gold, silver, or other metal, stamped by public authority, and used as a medium of exchange. But, gentle reader, that ain ' t the half of it. Money is something which has made and unmade slews of gentlemen, and others. It has kept Henry Ford out of the poorhouse, and, according to several, is gonna ' keep him out of the White House. The lure for lucre almost lost me my only means of sup- port, and also my best friend. Kid Conroy. And every time I think of that dirty Ed Allardyce — but, I ' ll give you all the dope, and you can see what you think of him. It ' s like this : Kid Conroy, which I spoke of before, has, under my management, developed into no less than light weight champion of the world! It has been a long grind to the champ ' s belt, and we ain ' t aiming to lose it right away, but as George Washington, or was it Mark Antony, was once heard to remark, You never can tell. The trouble all starts when the Kid, boyish like, gets a girl, Helen Dell by name, and Helen, girlish like, is especially averse to box-fightin. ' Not that I dislike Helen. She ' s a nice girl, and is about enough of a knockout to make the average movie-actress feel as cheap as a dude in overalls at a Charity Ball, but too much attention can be shown any girl, and anyway they ' re all alike, and you know how that is. Well, anyhow, the Kid promises her that he ' ll quit the ring after one more fight — but that fight never — whoop, I ' m getting to the end of my story too quick. They is two other guys which is lookin ' at a shot at the lightweight title. Named in the order of their prominence, they are Battling Cook, who might better be known as Battling Crook; and Sailor Wilde. Well, Cook and Wilde have their melee, and Cook comes out on top. Hardly had Wilde come to, when I received a word from Cook ' s manager, Ed Allardyce, challenging my boy to a leather-pushin ' duel, and guaranteein ' us fifty thousand bucks, besides a five thousand dollar appearance forfeit. Now the average man has never seen fifty thousand dollars, and I ' m average, so I accept the proposition before you could ' say Jack Robinson I Everyone seems to be happy over the deal except Helen. She can ' t see it a ' tall. Maybe a short description of Helen would fit in here. As I said before, she is some looker, and she could get through a fair-sized crowd without no push a ' tall. She comes from Troy, Ohio, and is, at the present time, engaged in jerkin ' sodas at a down-town drug store. Helen ' s a nice kid, too, but, somehow, it seems as though it is part of a woman ' s nature to abhor prize-fightin. ' The ' s another guy which thinks that Helen is pretty nice, also. His name ' s Jimmy Sutton, and he works down to the Sportin ' Club. He naturally has a dislike for the Kid, but before we get through, you ' ll see that he was a darn big help to him. If you go to ten fights at your local fight club, I ' d be willing to bet that nine of them would be draws, eight of which would be planned before hand. But title bouts ain ' t managed that way, and as the two boys for this match are pretty evenly balanced, it promises to be a battle royal. It probably would have been, too, if it had of came off. The fight is scheduled for 8:00 o ' clock p. m., on Decoration Day — that was yesterday. Well, yesterday afternoon, the Kid goes down to the drug store to see Helen. He gets home about four o ' clock and by six, he is so sick we have a doctor there. Needless to say, there wasn ' t no fight. Well, this morning, the Kid, who is all right now, and I are in my office trying to figure out what it ' s all about. I have just said for the fiftieth time, Who could have doped you up that way? when fair Helen walks in. Well, she says, as cool as could be, I did. I would have killed somebody, if I hadn ' t been too weak to move. The Kid just sits there and stares at her kind of dumb-like. Helen goes on to explain it all, and, while I can ' t give it like she did, the jist of it was this: It seems that this Jimmy Sutton come in to Helen ' s store one night, he seems to feel that he ' s got to tell all his troubles to Helen, so during his conversation, he lets it out that Ed Allar- dyce has made an agreement with him to pull all the lights in the club at a certain signal. Wilde will be expectin ' it, so when the champ confusedly drops his hands, he will be smacked cold. Helen feels that we won ' t believe her if she does tell us, so she undertakes to stop the fight her- self. It also seems that sometime during his visit at the drug store, the Kid gets thirsty, so Helen gives him a glass of milk, which, she says, will do him good. It did! It had some kind of a drug in it which gave a pronounced feeling of nausea to the partaker for a short time. That ' s what it says on the box! Leave it to a woman. Well, I can hardly believe my ears, but it turns out that it ' s all true, and Sutton confesses. The Boxing Commission rules Wilde out of the ring forever, and gives us his forfeit. Summing up everything, we are still in possession of the title plus five thousand fish and our eff ' ort has been practically nothing, except a little headwork on the part of Helen, so, as they used to say until it became stale, We should worry, DESTINY ' S DUMBELLS HOWARD McINTYRE I Rollo was the only son of Old Rollo Armitage, who controlled the market so completely that everything but Ford stock dropped at least five points if he happened to sneeze. In that case, Ford preferred advanced ten. We may, of course, assume that Armitage Sr. had sev- eral rubles to his credit in the National Trust Association, his own brain child. To speak frankly, Rollo Jr. was not on particularly good terms with the Old Man. A bone of contention had been dug up by his father months before, and they were still chewing at the wretched thing. Neither one of them would swallow it, so it bid fair to live a long life. Matters were thus: Old Rollo had received a Special Delivery one morning, which he read before the news- paper at the breakfast table. An unusual occurence for the king of the market. He spent many moments in thought over his grapefruit before noticing his hopeful sitting opposite, then he glanced at the young man and appeared to make a decision. Rollo, he said firmly after clearing his throat in preparation for the utterance of some important message, I wish to see you married! The target of this unprecedented remark jerked convulsively, choked on his hot coffee, and coughed violently into his napkin. He looked at his parent with alarm. When he spoke his voice was strained with emotion — or hot coffee. What an original idea, pater, he said with all seriousness. Do you know any more good ones? Old Rollo was surprised. He had expected horrified objection, knowing well the nature of his son. This apparent acquiescence disarmed him. Why — er. It really isn ' t my idea at all — that is, he sputtered aimlessly. But I ' ve been — er considering your marriage for quite some time. This missive here, indicating the let ter, was the — er agent of — ah determination on the subject — um. Um, repeated Rollo. What ' s that! demanded his father observing him fruitlessly through his reading glasses. Did you say something? Oh, no, I merely intimated that you might continue. I ' ll continue when I get ready, snapped the Old Man. His aggressive business man- ner was returning. The only way to deal with this upstart son was to consider him a com- mercial inferior. Now listen! In my hand, he held up the envelope, I have a letter from an old friend in California. We made our starts together in the nineties, and later he took up the lumber trade. I took up steel. He is at present head of the Western State Lumber Com- pany, and is very successful. To be explicit, he must be worth thirty-five or forty millions. That would make a mighty nice addition to your patrimony when both he and I are gone. He stopped and gazed expectantly at Rollo. That young man was puzzled. How do you expect me to get it, he asked dubiously. Does he carry it around in a hand bag? Then light dawned through his active brain. You must want me to marry his daughter! Is that it? Your deductions are excellent, admitted Old Rollo with an attempt at irony. I ' d hardly expect you to marry his mother. But what if I don ' t — I mean what if the girl doesn ' t want me? His voice was hooeful. You needn ' t worry, Joe Branch is not the man to be moved by the wishes of a wilful girl. Besides, why shouldn ' t she marry you? I ' ve seen many worse looking boys than you. It was a doubtful compliment. Rollo figeted. I — darnit dad, maybe I ' d rather pick my own wife. Besides, he grasped wildly for a raft, she might stop a clock even if I don ' t. You wouldn ' t wish a woman off on me if she looked like an Igorot. Old Rollo brought his fist down on the table with emphasis. The jar upset the cream, summoned a frightened maid to the door, and startled a canary, quietly sleeping in his cage m the conservatory, into a wild burst of song. You ' ll do just as I say! roared the Old Man. I ' ve had more experience than you m such matters — ah, that is. Ah — my judgment is more mature than yours, he finished lamely. As far as her looks are concerned, he continued, I don ' t think she ' s bad. He handed Rollo a small photograph which had accompanied the letter. It was a snapshot of what at first appeared to be a beautiful sport sedan. On closer m- spection a girl was discernable. Her hair, blowing freely in the wmd seemed to be bobbed. Although her head was thrust out of a window, the picture was far too tmy to do either credit or discredit to the damsel he was scheduled to marry. Rollo was disgusted with the world and its ways. He tossed the photograph across the table to his irate father. When I marry, he delivered his shot dramatically, it will be the woman I love! He stalked tragically from the room, leaving Old Rollo staring at him in amazement, tinged with admiration. Times immemorable the subject was broached, even after this outburst. The Old Man was determined to have his way. He threatened on several occasions to disinherit his son, but some latent instinct in his being told him that Rollo needed tactful handling. Following this situation, he allowed the discussion to drop for awhile, but the government was kept busy carry- ing mail between New York and California. At last he re-introduced it when he and Rollo were dining at the club to which they both belonged. ' Joe Branch and his daughter will be here in a few days, he announced easily. Clara — that ' s the girl ' s name — thinks that Joe ' s coming on a business trip, which he is, in a way. He held up a telegram. They ' re already started, he complted. Mr. Armitage was veiy well pleased with himself. His son finished his dinner, carefully laid down his napkin, and arose to leave. He was very calm. I won ' t have a thing to do with them he stated quietly, and left the room. Mr. Armitage shrugged his shoulders, fully believing that the young man would change his mind when he had to. Rollo called a taxi and went to New York ' s Chinatown, then popular with the Four Hundred, with the determined intent of burying his sorrows in dance and song. He didn ' t care for intoxicating beverages, so it was impossible for him to drown his woes; he at last decided to smoke them out with opium. Unknown to the police of the metroDolis, to whom it must be admitted much is known, was a drug den in the musty cellar of Chinee Charlie ' s Jazz Palace. To this haven of vice Rollo was conducted by a wary, squint-eyed, unemotional old Chink, a student of human nature to his yellow core. To many of the applicants for an onium stall this guarded Oriental turned a bland, saffron countenance with the time-worn words : No got! Others more for- tunate — or unfortunate, as you please — whom he believed desirous enough of the drug to keep secret its origin, he admitted, led them through a secret panel in a private room, down a dirty rat infested passagewav, and into the isolated den. There is little need to dwell upon Rollo ' s only sowing of wild oats. Sufficient to say that he reaped a splitting headache and a deadened mental system, and was entirely devoid of logical reason when he left an hour later. In the first place, his stomach felt strange. Not more than a week previous he had seen in the New York Globe, an advertisement embellished with the picture of a very stout man, who appeared to be calling his dog. That Derverse little animal was sitting happily under the shelter of the fat man ' s abdomen, but of this fact his master was supposed to be entirely igno- rant until he reduced by taking Fish ' s Fatoff Capsiiles. To return to Rollo ' s stomach, figura- tively speaking, that organ of digestion seemed as huge as the one in the patent medicine ad. He glanced cautiouslv down at his fee t. Yes-s-s, he could have seen his dog had he been there, because he could distinguish his toes as it was. I me n Rollo ' s toes. He could have seen old Ruff anyway, since he was an unusually big Newfoundland. His head was also out of joint. It was as heavv as lead and wouldn ' t balance on his shoulders. As a cap to his difficulties, when he looked at one lamp post he saw two. And he usually tried to hang onto the wrong one. He lurched down this street and that, finallv reaching the swarming heart of the city. To the eyes of the curious passers-by he was stupidly drunk. He realized one fact in a dim, unreal way. No self-respectinsr girl would care to marry a man locked up for drunkenness. And he was glad. But as usual when wanted, not a policeman was near, even when a victim was all set for a ride in the wagon. So Rollo meandered on. Suddenly he was seized with a tremendous desire to sleep. The potent opium was numb- ing his faculties. Near him at the curb was parked a large enclosed motor car, empty. Even the chauffeur was absent, so Rollo straightened his hat and sauntered almost elegantly to the machine, opened the door to the back seat, pulled down every curtain, and stretched out luxuri- ously on the soft cushions. II When he awoke, his return from dreamland was punctuated by a series of violent jerks. Apparently the motor car was in motion. Rollo, still dopey, was undecided as to what course he should take, so he remained quiet. From where he lay, by twisting his neck, he obtained a fine view of the occupants of the front seat. The dome lights were not switched on, so the two persons there hqd probably overlooked his presence. He could see them plainly, a man whose face he did not like, and a girl whose face he did like, by the rays of the dash lamp. In spite of a terrific headache Rollo was able to appreciate the beauty of the girl. He lay still, know- ing that silence only would save him from discovery. The girl spoke. She had a nice voice, Rollo thought. How much longer will it take? she asked impatiently. We ' ve been gone over five hours as it is. From which the rear seat listener deducted that the time was anywhere from one o ' clock to dawn. It had been near eight when he entered the car. Hm-m. Five hours of riding at at least forty miles an hour. He must be two hundred miles distant from New York. ihe man at the wheel replied. His voice was not nice. It was more of a snarl. Don t wo rry, he answered. It will be another hour at least. The girl stared at the driver, suspicion on her face. Rollo liked her profile. Her hair seemed to be black or dark brown. He was prepared to bet that Clara was a blond. She turned to her companion. That bridge! she cried in dismay. You aren ' t taking me to Buffalo at all. We ' re almost north to Lake Champlain. I was here last summer. He laughed unpleasantly. Not much need of pretending now, is there? he asked. You know you wouldn ' t marry me last week when I asked you, so now you ' ll have to. Then you lied when you said that father was hurt at Buffalo? she demanded indig- nantly. He may be in New York at this minute, and he chuckled coarsely. A strange voice interrupted his chuckle. Rollo was very angry at the man ' s brutal treat- ment of the girl. And you ' d better be there in another five hours, he threatened. He forgot himself in his fury. The driver ' s face went white. He whirled about in nervous haste, his hands leaving the wheel. The girl turned on the lights and looked at Rollo. The unguided car, going nearly fifty miles an hour, left the road, and shot into the river. Rollo worked faster than at any time previous in his life. He reached for the girl, dragged her across the intervening seat, and almost before the car sank filled with water, opened the door in some manner, and fought his way to the surface, still holding the girl with one arm. He obligingly left the door open for Rath to leave by, but that gentlemin was never seen again. The water was cold, but the current slow, and he easily swam the few yards to the shore. A footpath led to the road, and he struggled up with his burden. The girl stirred in his arms, and he laid her down by the roadside, covering her with his coat, which even if water-soaked provided some protection. The night was bright, and by the big, yellow moon, Rollo saw her eyes slowly open. When she found him bending over her she was terrified. Rath! she cried. But on sitting up she realized her mistake. Are you the man who was in the back seat? she inquired, her teeth chattering from cold and fright. Yes, replied Rollo shortly. But do you feel well enough to walk? he asked. If you do you can keep much warmer. We ' ve simply got to find shelter. She agreed so he helped her to her feet, and with one arm around her, they started down the road. It was truly a wild country. The improved stone highway, a state trunk line, seemed entirely out of place in the wilderness. Large pine trees bordered the road on either side. A wooded stretch extended to the right. For perhaps an hour and a half they travelled along the hard stone road. The air was warm, and they were soon fairly comfortable, though their wet clothing was inconvenient. At length they came to a little farm house, resting in a well cleared area. Not a light shone from its windows. Rollo hesitated wh n he reached the door. What shall I do, he complained. It doesn ' t look right for us to be together as late as this. What time have you got, my watch has stopped. She bent her gaze on her time piece. The hands pointed to quarter past two. And it ' s stopped,too, she said holding the delicate piece of workmanship to her ear. We ' ve been walking over an hour, if I ' m any guesser. I can tell ' em we ' re brother and sister, — or else married. She colored. I believe that I ' ll pass as your sister. No one knows us here. Very well. And he rapped sharply on the door. A minute or two passed before a man answered the summons. He carried a shot gun, and his suspicion was obvious. Well what ' dyou want, he croaked, his eyes shifting from one to the other of his vis- itors. Rollo recounted their experience. May we stay here until morning? he inquired. I can telegraph then. How far is the nearest town? There was a touch of pessimism in his last question. Durham Corners is five miles north. He jerked his thumb in that direction. Are ya sure this girl ' s yer sister, he growled, with a gimlet like stare at the object of discussion. Why certainly she is, aren ' t you — uh — Clara, rejoined Rollo indignantly, but with some confusion. Of course she ' s my sister. The idea! Well you needn ' t git huffy, returned the farmer unbending a trifle. Folks can ' t be too keerful of their reppitations. I guess I kin fix you up. For the remainder of the morning till seven o ' clock the girl slept in a bedroom upstairs, while Rollo had an old couch in the dining room. Their host seemed to trust him with the family silver at any rate. When the clock struck a tinny seven, the wife of the farmer woke him. Jed ' s goin ' to Durham ' s, she informed him, an ' if you want to tellygraph, you kin ride with him. She appeared to be a kind, motherly little woman. I ' m bakin ' , she continued, an can ' t get you a reg ' lar meal, but there ' s some milk an ' coffee, an ' some cold ham on the table there. You ' dbetter eat before you go. Yer sister, Clary, was sleepin ' so nice it was a pity to wake her up, so I left her sleep. Rollo was disappointed. He was anxious to see the girl once more. He almost fancied that he was in love with her. Well, he could wait. He thanked the old lady, and was finished eating, when a tremendous i-attling sounded outside the door. He seized his hat and coat which were now dry, and hurried out. Jed was sitting in an old Ford, of some ten years of age, judging from appearances. It quivered from radiator cap to tail light. Morning,, sallied the tiller of the soil, somehow less formidable when seen by daylight. Thought I might as well give yuh a lift, sence I was goin ' anyhow! Rollo returned the greeting, and thanked him for his consideration. It most certainly would be more pleasant to ride the five miles, for the sun was already hot enough to be dis- agreeable. The car, though old and decrepit as it was, covered the ground with surprising agility, reaching the settlement in shortly under fifteen minutes. He found his way to the diminutive telegraph station with no difficulty, and handed to the operator an envelope containing the message which the girl wished sent. She seemed to be afraid that he might forget a verbal message, so the night before — or to be exact, earlier in the morning — she had given him the envelope. It was nearly two hours later that the reply came. Jed had completed the deal which brought him to town, and was waiting, so they returned. It was after ten o ' clock when the farm was reached. The girl looked prettier than ever in the sunlight as she read the answer- ing wire. ... ' Father will be here as soon as he can, by motor, she exclaimed. It will be late this afternoon, though. Rollo was nothing loath to spend the afternoon in her company. She called him Ted. He called her Clara, the name of the only girl with whom he had ever been involved, and whom he had never seen. After viewing all of the live-stock, especially the clumsy gambols of a small calf, she announced her intention of picking wild flowers. They crossed a pasture to the woods by which they had passed after their thrilling ex- perience that morning. Flowers were very much in evidence, and they spent a long time gath- ering Mayflowers and violets. Her eyes, he discovered, were the exact shade of the most purple violet. Do you know, she said suddenly, I could live forever under these blue skies and big trees. And this clear country air — ! Marry me and you can, he replied just as suddenly. His utterance, almost unconscious was most startling. The girl gave him a quick glance, and blushed. But she was not offended. I couldn ' t, anyway, she retorted with a laugh. I ' m a confirmed man hater. But don ' t you think we ' d better go? Rollo certainly did not want to go, but he couldn ' t think of remaining against her wishes, so he agreed. When they came to the farmhouse some time after, it was nearing four o ' clock. They had not waited long before a car, dusty from travel, drove up to the gate. In the tonneau sat Mr. Armitage and a strange man of about his age. Dad! cried Rollo, almost stunned with amazement. Father! exclaimed the girl eagerly. Then you ' re Rollo, she accused in surprise. And — for the love of Mike — , you must be Clara! he countered, more befuddled than ever. Explanations were in order, and the newly discovered Clara was a logical candidate. She undertook the task. We reached New York sooner than we expected, she began. That is, Jim, the chauf- feur, Mr. Rath, and 1 did. Father stopped at Buffalo on business. We left him there yester- day morning, and arrived at New York about this time in the afternoon. Jim took me to the hotel, and Mr. Rath went somewhere else. At about nine last night he came to the hotel and told me that he had received news of an injury to father at Buffalo. He must have sent Jim on an errand, for he wasn ' t in the car, and Rath drove it. He pretended to go to Buffalo, but he came way up here, intending, as he said, to make me marry him. She then told of Rollo ' s appearance on the scene, disastrous to Rath, and almost so for them, and as much as she knew of her rescue. But how in the world did you happen to be in the car? demanded Rollo ' s father sus- piciously of his shame-faced son. Oh I had an attack of — er, dizziness, and I got in to rest. I must have fallen asleep. There was an obvious limp in his story. Rollo turned to Clara: So we were supposed to marry each other all the time. She nodded. Well, I ' ll be— Your husband, he finished. For the next few moments Old Rollo, Mr. Branch, and the driver, concentrated on the beautiful scenery across the river. IT DOESN ' T LAST VIOLA SCHURRY ' ' Well, I ' m through with them, that ' s all that ' s to it. I hate the sight of every one of them. That ' s the spirit, Ethel, that ' s the stuff. Our club will progress fast if we continue in that spirit. Joyce and Ethel were seated on the davenport in their apartment. Their plans for the Manhater ' s Club were becoming more and more complete. Well, Joyce, since you started this, you must be president. All right, I will be president. Do you suppose Alice will agree with us? Yes, I think she will. She was grumbling the other night about the conceit of men. Here she is now. Hello Al, you ' re just in time. We are discussing a club to rid ourselves, once and for all, of those contemptible, disgusting, loathing creatures, called men. Whew, that sounds good. I ' m with you, girls. I am positively sick at the thought of having some man come up and make himself a nuisance. Where ' s Aunty? She ' gone to the store. Come on, I told her we would start supper. Joyce, Ethel, and Alice worked in that large city, Detroit. Joyce was stenographer at the Gray Motor Company; Ethel bookkeeper at Hudson ' s, and Alice librarian. They rented a very homelike apartment and Alice ' s Aunt Ella kept house for them. She was Aunt to all of them now. After supper was over. Aunt Ella washed the dishes in the little kitchenette and the girls flocked to the living room for further discussion. You know, Alice started, last night. Bob and I went to the theatre, and Hariy Lincoln sat on the opposite side of me. Bob always was jealous and when I started talking to Harry, he simply saw red. I got mad at his ravings on the way home and told him I was through. Alice, I congratulate you, said Joyce, you acted very independent as all women should act. Come on, girls, I ' ll summarize this, Ethel joined in, from now on we have nothing to do with men. We all have stated our hatred for the beasts and now we will live up to it. Fine, fine, cried both of the other girls. So they talked on and on. Many plans were brought up and many rejected. Finally, they decided to be very cold and formal if they chanced to meet any man; to decline all invitations for parties, and to rid their minds, altogether, of this once absorbing topic. Even the Inter- fraternity masquerade ball was not to be favored with their presence. In this way, a month passed with the big event, the masquerade, drawing closer and closer. The subject was never mentioned among the three girls, although deep in the bottom of each girl ' s heart was a longing to go. Joyce was seated at her desk in the Gray Motor ' s office busily typing, when the phone, on her desk, jangled angrily. With an annoying frown, Joyce picked up the receiver and answered, Gray Motor Company. Hello, Joyce, answered an eager voice, how are you? Haven ' t seen you in ages. May I take you to the masquerade? Why, why, a, thanks Stan, I, I ' ll go. Joyce turned back to her work in a whirl of excitement. Almost instantly, the thought of the Manhater ' s Club rushed back. What shall I tell the girls? They won ' t know it, I ' ll make something up. She flew around to buy a costume and decided to dress as the Queen of Hearts. On the night of the masquerade, Joyce was in her room dressing. Funny, she reflected, but lucky for me, that both girls and Aunty should be going out and all to different places. The hall of the Board of Commerce was brightly illuminated. Gay, sprightly, grotesque, objects fluttered to and fro. From one of the corners came the jazzy strains of Lovin ' Sam. Here one could see the Spirit of ' 76 dancing with the Flapper of 1923, Boy Blue grace- fully waltzing with Cinderella in his arms, the Queen of Hearts fluttering around on the arm of Old Father Time. At twelve o ' clock the command came from the balcony: All masks off. The hand of the Queen of Hearts fluttered. What if someone should recognize her and tell the girls. Bravely, though, she took off her mask and turning around saw Old Mother Hubbard to be no one else than Alice. Both girls stared, then giggled hysterically, and rushed for the dress- ing room where they found Cupid, no one else than Ethel, rearranging her hair. All three girls gasped, and then with many explanations and much higgling and gushing all stories were told. Well, anyway, Alice said, I ' m having a wonderful time, and Bob isn ' t so bad after all. SEA TALES JOHN H. LOVETTE One dark and misty afternoon in September, 1914, 1 was standing my watch in the crows- nest of H. M. S. Cressy, a battle cruiser. Together with three other men similarly employed, with my binoculars glued to my eyes, I was watching for the enemy submarines which might at any moment appear, for we were well inside of their cruising radius from Heligoland. Far ahead and just in sight from our position, were three vessels of the German North Sea fleet, smoke pouring from their funnels, and racing madly for the protection of Heligoland, 250 miles distant. A little to port of us and gradually drawing alongside, was the super-dreadnaught. Lion, one of the most recent additions to our navy, and the pride of the fleet. She had been the last to take up the chase, but now was about to become the leader. We had been slowly closing upon the fleeing vessels, but when the Lion appeared, we knew that her superior speed and armament would take her within range of the enemy long before we could hope to get within range, and we were glad of it, for we were getting perilously close to Heligoland. Then the Lion drew alongside and as she passed us we gave her a rousing cheer. Twice we had tried to reach the enemy with our nine inch rifles, but both times the shells had fallen short, for the distance was too great. Each time they had returned the fire, but their shells had also fallen short, and we concluded that their armament was the same as our own. Presently, however, the four great guns in the forward turrets of the Lion belched forth a cloud of smoke, and four agents of destruction winged their screaming way toward the enemy. Through my glasses I could see the last ship quite plainly. Two of the shells were direct hits. One carried away both funnels, and the other exploded on deck. I could almost imagine the terrible havoc it had wrought there, the screaming of the men it had wounded, and the great hole it had torn in the deck. In a few minutes, a sheet of flame and smoke once more poured forth from the muzzles of the Lion ' s four bow turret guns, and four more twelve inch shells were sped to their target. This time, not a shell went wide, a sheet of flame and smoke enveloped the stern of the rear- most ship, and she immediately began to slow down. It took us about twenty minutes to reach her, but before we got there, she had sunk by the stern, and we lowered boats to pick up the survivors. The Lion had gone on in chase of the other two vessels, but they were faster and made good their escape. The Lion then returned, and we started back to our base. All the time, a cordon of destroyers had kept on the flanks of our little fleet, there being two other vessels whose slower speed had caused them to fall astern, to protect the battleships in case of submarine attack. Suddenly, about five hundred yards to port of the Lion, a great column of water rose from the sea, and almost simultaneously, several of the small guns of the starboard battery of the Lion began to blaze away at some target which we could not make out. At once, two of the destroyers turned and raced toward the spot where the shells from the Lion were plunging into the sea, and opened fire on the submarine which we now knew to be there, with their own four inch bow guns. There is a great deal of difference between shooting from the dipping and plunging deck of a destroyer and from the deck of a c omparatively immobile dreadnaught, and a four inch tube is not the easiest of targets to hit, but al -hough the Lion stopped, the destroyers continued firing. Soon, however, they stopped and cruised more slowly about a spot which I could see looked oily. They then returned and reported by wireless that they had shot away the peri- scope of the submarine and that immediately afterward, oil and wreckage had appeared on the surface. We were almost certain that the U-boat would never be seen again. Two days after returning to our base, in company with the Aboukir, a ship of our own class, we were again assigned to patrol duty near the region where we had the interesting encounter with the enemy a few days before. About four o ' clock in the afternoon of the second day on the patrol, I was standing on the starboard deck with several other men off watch, when suddenly the deck seemed to rise from beneath our feet and we were hurled several feet by the force of the explosion of a torpedo amidships, not more than twenty feet from where I had been standing. Well, I didn ' t know any more until I came to in a whaleboat after the ship had sunk. My head still rang from the blow I had received in colliding with an iron deck house, but otherwise I was all right. I soon learned that the Cressy had sunk in twelve minutes after the torpedo hit us, and that the crew had barely had time to take to the boats before she turned over and sank. The Aboukir, following instructions that had been given after two vessels had been sunk in succoring a torpedo-crippled mate, turned tail and fled upon the first intimation that a sub- marine was in the vicinity. We were left in an open boat, without food and water, with four badly wounded men, 400 miles from our base and 300 miles from the nearest land, and that land the German base of Heligoland. The situation wasn ' t very inviting, but there were stout hearts in that crew and they all took our predicament as a matter of course, but it was hard to see the four poor fellows who had been wounded, suffer from the salt water in their wounds and have no way to help them. We had hard work in keep ing one of them in the boat when he discovered our predicament, but the worst of it was that we knew that we were probably saving him for a more horrible death a few days later if we were not picked up soon. Then to the amazement of everyone, a little round tube stuck its end up out of the water not more than four hundred yards from us. A conning tower appeared, and in a moment, a British submarine was rolling gently in the swells with its deck not quite awash. We all cheered madly when an officer stepped out of the conning tower and told us to hurry aboard. The wounded were taken into the submarine first; and then we abandoned the whaleboat and started back to our base by the under-sea route. THE YELLOW ROBE BRUCE FAYERWEATHER, ' 25 It was a dark, murky night, and through the length and breadth of Pell Street pedestrians were few. In fact, all but a few of the Orientals were resting in their homes after the toil of the day. However, several stooped figures scurried along over the clammy pavements, shield- ing their bodies as best they could from the shifting banks of fog which drifted through the heavy air. Although this quarter of Chinatown seemed deserted, down in Sen Fu ' s gambling house and general assembly hall the scum of the yellow population was gathered preparatory to the ceremony of the monthly tribunals over which Hsu Lee was to preside in judgment of the latest offender of the Buddhist laws. Among the many prisoners were several murderers, members of a once powerful but now nearly extinct organization which had been a source of profit to its members. These men were often unscrupulous and savage, and would stop at nothing to further their own ends. Thus the trying of these malefactors was a source of interest for all the celestial population. Young Sing Lee stood near the door of the inner chamber, glancing with narrowed eyelids over the seething whirlpool of Orientals. His was not the errand of the ordinary street loafer, the craze of excitement, but the love of his father who, as chief of the San Tsingtong, was to sit as tribune of this court. To the casual observer, there appeared to be no danger in holding this office ; but to one who knew the changeable character of the mass of spectators here gath- ered, it assumed great importance. He started as a man brushed by him dressed in the ancient garb of his father ' s tong. Who was this man? Why was he leaving the council chamber at this time? Surely not San Tsing, he thought to himself. But where had he found his robe of which there were only three in the possession of the tong? He pondered upon this matter for a few minutes and then dismissed it from his mind, for the crier was announcing the opening of the court. In two minutes from this time let every man be silent in honor and respect of our great judge, Hsu Lee, who will preside over this, the most high seat of the will of the Dragon in America, he shouted and disappeared. A long wavering cry rang, over, above, and through the din of the assembled crowd. A hush, and again it shrilled quavering, echoing from every corner of the room. Then another man appeared upon the dais and waving his arms, shrieked to the assembly: Away and avenge! While we have delayed, an escaping prisoner has taken the life of one of our greatest friends, Hsu Lee. Away, ye Sons of Buddha, and avenge! First murmuring, rumbling, and at last thundering, as the full meaning of their loss broke upon their minds, with a bound as one man the assemblage crowded from the room, leaving Sing standing bewildered and dumb, stunned by the news he had just heard. With a strangled sob the truth of what had happened fell upon him and he staggered a few feet and fell claw- ing at the floor like a man in mortal agony. And indeed he was, for to him his father had been as his own body and soul. Suddenly he sprang to his feet. He had remembered the man ' s yellow spotted robe identi- cal with his father ' s. With a dash he turned and hastened to the inner room where his father ' s retainers stood sorrowing by the side of their loved master. He gently turned down the cov- ering from his father ' s body. It was as he had guessed, the robe had been removed. He turned to where the tongsmen stood regarding him with beady eyes dimmed with sorrow. Men, he said, leave one of your number with my poor father and the rest of you come with me. The men sorrowfully obeyed, and soon followed by his small band, he was threading the dark and crooked alleys of Chinatown, searching for the murderer of his father. Handicapped by the fact that there were so few people on the streets, he had some trouble in tracing the stranger, but always was able to find some person who had noticed his yellow garments. On- ward they struggled through the slimy, offal-filled byways, often losing courage but always strengthened to their purpose by the thought of the still form lying behind them, its magnificent spirit broken, and its spark of life forever fled. At last after hours of wandering, they lost the trail near a small secluded temple, where exhausted after the night ' s exertion, the little band decided to rest. Coming upon the temple by an old and unused route. Sing stumbled over a form in the semi-darkness. He at first thought it one of the many beggars who filled the streets; but as the figure made no move or cry, he stooped and peered at the features of the midnight sleeper. He drew backward with a little cry, for it was the body of the temple priest. After a moment ' s hesitation he again bent over the body of the old man. Was life enclosed within that wasted form? His eyelids moved, he opened his eyes and stared, and then in a tone that was more of a whisper than speech said, i ellow robe, and died. Sing stood for a moment gazing upon him and pondering his words, then with a sigh laid the old priest gently down upon the ground. As he did so, he noticed a spot of red upon the old man ' s shrunken chest. He touched it and drawmg up his fingers saw, in the fast increasing light, that it was blood. The trail of the murderer! he gasped. His men gathered around him and stared at the figure of the old man who now lay on his side as if in a peaceful sleep. Sing wasted no more time but ran as quietly as possible to the door of the temple where he saw crouched in a far corner a figure in a yellow robe. Sing drew his dagger and advanced slowly towards the huddled object. He grasped the man ' s shoulder and jerked him to his feet only to have him crumple into a heap again. He turned him roughly over, saw the glassy eyes and wounded side and threw him back to the floor. Too late for vengeance, and again the mourner. Sing turned to the altar where the ever- burning joss sticks sent up their spirals of pungent, blue smoke, and prayed. Then rising, dry-eyed and with an emotionless face, he called to his men and went forth into the dawn. CLASS OF ' 23 LOIS ORR Dear old High School, we ' re leaving — This class of twenty-three — We ' re leaving, for better or for worse, To seek out Life ' s Decree. For some, school days aren ' t over; For other, all, all o ' er. They have reached the great Beginning, The cavernous opening of Destiny ' s door. We leave behind us, workers, toilers — The class of twenty-four — And following in their studious pathway Comes the wandering, innocent Sophomore. We leave behind, our hopes and fears. Our work and all our places. Which now we leave with unshed tears To the class now in Junior ' s traces. You ' ll hear from us, you ' ll hear our names Rung o ' er the earth on some great day. After we ' ve fought and battled for the Fames Of Life — and won our way. Lewis and Ross and Comstock and Joe, (There are two of the latter boys, you know) Hart and Snyder and the ' Dusi boys. Have all enjoyed four years of joys Of football, as those joys go. There ' s Norton, too, with his curly hair. And Lovette and Murray are always there. Then there ' s the Elocutionists, Abie and Lehr And ' Talia and Don and Winslow, who say What has to be said in a manner quite gay; They ' re got what ' s needed to win their way. There ' s Marian, the Manager of the Criterion Staff, And Merrill McDonald who edits the laugh. Then there ' s Mclntyre and Baumgarten, too. Who help to put our paper through. And Dorothy Jane, and Needham and Lehr, Have all pitched in and done their share. We ' ve worked; we ' ve played, these last four years. And now, when we say Good-bye, What wonder that we hide a tear; That we heave a mournful sigh? That other class, the Sophomores, Think it queer, they say. But when they leave their present bores. They ' ll feel just this same way. THE ROLL CALL OF MANY YEARS Did somebody say it can ' t be done? Did somebody say it ' s no use to try? Why, that ' s not the spirit we want at all, But the spirit of do or die. Just tackle the problem and get to work. There ' s no place in school for a coward or shirk. Perhaps it is hard and you think there ' s no end, Don ' t you know it ' s a long, long road which has no bend? And then at last when your problem is done. You will know the joy of having won. I. Somebody asked who the group of 245 youngsters were that were loitering around the doors of Arthur Hill the bright September morning in 1919. They were the new Freshmen who were afraid to go in, for they had heard stories of what happens to freshmen. Do you see them now, with that same scared look on their faces? Indeed, no! Soon they are as much at home as any one else, for under the supervision of Miss Davis they have had their first class meeting and had given the following class members the honor of being their first officers: We may have been considered by our so-thought superior classmates as being a rather slow class, but Freshmen have the name of being so, and so why be conspicuous by being differ- ent? We managed, however, to show the world that we could do a few successful things. Our first freshman party was surely deemed a howling success. In athletics we also made ourselves known. We were represented by Myron Cox on the first team of football, and George Ames, Ray Hart and Harold Laundra as substitutes. George Ames and Myron Cox were a lso the star yell leaders of the class. Aside from this we participated very little in any other activities, but you just wait, in the coming years we made up for any lost time, if there ever was any, for we poor little inno- cent creatures soon began to learn not only the ways of the world but also of old A. H. H. S. as well. Entering Arthur Hill was quite different a story this year, for we no longer were known as the green freshmen, but as sophs, which we thought meant not only to become wise, but to act wise as well. For our class officers this year we chose: Harold Olsen _ Raymond Hart Mildred Reins Avery Dice __ President Vice President -Secretary Treasurer II. Raymond Hart Jack Donelly _ Nan Bauer Ruth Hannum . President Vice President Treasurer -Secretary . In athletics we were distinguished by Myron Cox and Raymond Hart on first team foot- ball, and also by Myron Cox, Leland Walker, Clifford Currott and Nick Mangutz in baseball. Now you see, as Coue says, Day by day, in every way, we were getting better and better. III. Now, we were Juniors, and what a class, still traveling fast on the road to progress. Gain- ing? Yes, you bet, as will be shown by the following: For our class officers we elected: Henry Snyder President Avery Dice Vice President Roswell Burrows Treasurer Mildred Reins Secretary Miss Clarke Class Advisor During the course of this year we were very active and succeeded in many worth while attempts. Our first activity of the year was the Junior Play given February tenth. From this we obtained means enough to enable us to join with the Seniors in giving a joint Junior-Senior banquet. Another of our social events of the year was the Junior Hop, given March 27 at the Annex. This was one of the most successful parties of the year, not even the dignified Seniors could beat us in this line. The banquet which closed the social season was also a successful event, here again we showed our ability as a class, by keeping the old memorial horn from the anxious Sophs. Ray Hart, captain-elect of the next year ' s football squad, Nicholas Mangutz and Myron Cox upheld the honors of their class in football. George Needham, Russell Norton and Hugh Bloomfield were substitutes. Wallace and Arduino Ardussi, Kenneth Schurr, John Cronk, and George Kaiser were on the second team squad. Others who distinguished themselves in athlet- ics were Clifford Currott, William Dembinske, Frederick Galarno, and Junior Lewis. Now with t his record, if we don ' t show ourselves to be the best Senior class in history, it surely won ' t be because we haven ' t the material. IV. At last we know that we are not to be disappointed, for we have all finally obtained our goal, that of becoming an envied, dignified Senior, and also because we shall be able to show the Alumni that we are the largest graduating class to leave Arthur Hill to date. We began to realize upon coming back for the last year, that we must set a good pace for the under-classmen, so we immediately set about to elect our class officers. We chose to represent us for the last time in Arthur Hill : Raymond Hart President Henry Snyder Vice President Roswell Burrows Treasurer Donald Metcalf Secretary Miss Clarke Class Advisor During our first semester we were very busy with our studies so that we gave very little time to activities, except that of athletics. Our class president, Raymond Hart, led the football squad in a fairly successful year, having with him the support of these Seniors: Wallace and Arduino Ardussi, Junior Lewis, Elwyn Comstock, Joe Schmeigel, Charles Murray, Burton Ross, George Needham, Russell Norton, Frederick Galarno, Nicholas Mangutz, and John Lovette. Clifford Currott, Junior Lewis, Elwyn Comstock, Bill Dembinske, Henry Snyder, and John Lo- vette, represented us in basket ball. We managed to elect our Legenda officers the first semester, to collect our dues, and to decide that we must display ourselves by presenting a party. We didn ' t succeed in giving the annual Senior party, however, until the second semester, but even if it was a little late it was surely a fine one, better late than never. For our class play we finally chose Honor Bright, and the play surely proved to be a Bright Honor for our class. The cast displayedtalent which our whole class could be proud of. And now our year is nearly over and we are looking forward to Baccalaureate and Com- mencement. Baccalaureate is to be held in one of the West Side churches, June 17, the place is to be chosen by the class. Commencement, following the usual custom, will be held June 20, at the Auditorium. With this our four years work in Arthur Hill will come to a fitting close and we shall all go our various ways, with a pleasant memory of our days among our friends. LAURA SPENCE, MARIE LA FLEUR.

Know ye all men by these presents, that we, the Senior Class of Arthur Hill High School, being m frail mmds and strong bodies, do in the presence of equally strong and sane witnesses hereby write this last will and testimony and do solemnly bequeath our ancient and hallowed privileges, to the Juniors and Sophomores of said institution in the vain hope that they will become dignified, haughty seniors, as their immediate predecessors. And, whereas, we of the class of twenty-three, having firmly implanted the seeds of wis- dom m the flighty Juniors and humble Sophomores, do in these our last days, further relin- quish our title to the following privileges, viz and to-wit: That the Senior Senate of Arthur Hill High School, being in form a dignified body of legis- lators, do hereby bequeath and devise to the House of Representatives the following privileges: 1. The right to sleep in the senatorial chamber with full and undoubted privileges of a senator (providing his snoring is inaudible). 2. The right to filibuster on certain occasions when no preparation has been made upon the issue for discussion. 3. The privilege of impeaching or otherwise ridding the senate of its president, especial- ly his gavel, which is a fiendish device and a contraption of Mephistaphale ' s own design. 4. Lastly, our pomp and dignity we bequeath to any other organization in the school that might profit by its use. K5 HA ARTICLE L Furthermore, we Seniors of the Glee Club of Arthur Hill High School, being in part, a crowd of jolly birds whose voices have become cracked and worn from constant strain, relin- uish and deed over to the Juniors and Sophomore aspirants, our vocies, so badly worn, and yet withal, within the bounds of possible repair, with the parting trust that they will be heard in melodious chords or dischords through the halls of our venerable institution. ARTICLE II. Be it further revealed in this our last will and testament that we, the illustrious members of that famous staff of Journalists, as is embraced under the name or sobriquet of Criterion who, by freak of chance or fortune, have successfully finished our fourth year, do hereby devise, bequeath and assign to any of our Junior members, the right to print scandal, sensa- tions, or rare jokes upon members of the Legenda staff, or of the school as a whole. Section 1. We, the remaining members of the famous J. I. P. club, more widely known as Jippers, (heaven knows what it stands for) do devise and bequeath the secrets of our or- ganization to any Junior or Sophomore who is so dizzy as to try to fathom the inscrutable mys- tery of our club emblem, or the significance of the symbols thereon. Section 2. Whereas, we the inmates of Mr. DeHaven ' s court, being a sober-minded (?) assembly of honest lawyers, do devise, bequeath, deed, assign and convey unto the coming seniors, their heirs, and assigns (who for their own edification seek refuge in Judge DeHaven ' s court) the following privileges and chattels, to-wit: (1) The privilege of sharpening at least ten pencils during the study period, also the right to release mice and other rodents within the sacred walls of his palace of justice. (2) The absolute right to declare a blue slip negotiable paper, and to pass it as such, irregardless of date, time of performance or any other legal objections that party of the second part might raise against said blue slip. (3) Permission is hereunto granted the next session of honest lawyers to upset the waste basket, consult the dictionary upon matters of legal phraseology at least four times during each class period, argue with party of the second part upon Acts of Providence, dates of delivery, and kindred (ailments) or subjects. Also to appear in class late without the customary negotia- ble paper: We, the women jurors of the above mentioned class do devise and bequeath unto the first junior who discovers the deposits of gum on the fifth seat in the first row absolute title to said chattels and choses in action. Now, in view of these facts, we of the Commercial Law class of 1923 do hereby set our hand and seal, this 22nd day of June in the year of our Lord 1923. ARTICLE m. Be it further known that we, the English students in the classes of the Misses Boyle and Kilbourne, do relinquish, devise and bequeath to the juniors our superior knowledge of the English language, viz and to-wit: Our ability to translate the words of the senior ' s common enemy, Geoffrey Chaucer; our knowledge of the works of Shakespeare, Geoffrey of Monmouth, and last but not least our love for Bobby Burns ' poem, Tam O ' Shanter. To the sacred and beloved enemies of the class of ' 23 (namely, the motely juniors) we grant our property, peculiar to seniors, viz : The right to loiter in the halls, or whistle in the ante room of Mr. Haggard ' s office, our drag with Miss Boyle for securing white slips rather than blues or any other privileges peculiar to Seniors that said Juniors might discover. We also devise and bequeath unto the motely mob known as Juniors, the sum of one Ger- man Mark in hopes that within the next year it may appreciate in value and form a nucleus around which may be built a treasury, so necessary to a prosperous senior year. We, the athletes of 1923, do deed over to Fat Schimmer, the position of captain on the next football squad. May he clear the eastern horizon of the dark cloud, Defeat. The Blue Ribbon Orchestra, in part a trio of musical Bards known as The Hillite Howling Hounds and other equally famous sobriquets, do leave to any competent musicians our privi- leges of playing after games and all school parties. All ' s well that ends well, and now, in parting, we Seniors of the class of ' 23 leave only tears and now and then a sigh to our dear old Alma Mater. May her standard never be low- ered and may the sons of Arthur Hill cherish and foster the knowledge they have gained with- in its hallowed walls. In witness thereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seal this 22nd day of June, 1923. DEACON METCALF. ZAZ DEMBINSKE. FOOTBALL Facing the hardest football schedule that an Arthur Hill team has ever had was the propo- sition that confronted our team this year. The past season was disastrous in the matter of games won and lost, but this fact does not tell the story of the sportsmanship and fighting spirit of the team developed by Coach Smiley Bassett. The first two games of the season, Greenville and Owosso, were lost by scores of 8-6 and 13-6, respectively. Next came Benton Harbor, and our men certainly avenged the defeat of last year by ad- ministering a 6-0 score upon them. In beating Benton Harbor, the Hills humbled a foe far superior to either Greenville or Owosso. Schimmers on the line, Currott, Ross and the Ardussi brothers in the backfield, all gave good accounts of themselves. The veteran eleven of Lansing was next and Arthur Hill lost a bitterly fought contest, 13-0. Lansing possessed one of the speediest backfields ever seen on Merrill Field, and it was not until the second half that these men were able to penetrate the Hill ' s defense. In this game, the team displayed a brand of fight seldom seen, and the work of Norton, Tallon, Schimiegel, and Hart upheld the Hillite prestige. Then came Alpena, and the Hillites, displaying the best football of the season, were the victors by an 8-0 score. Our men won by outplaying and outfighting Alpena all the way, but many penalties kept them to a low score. Hart, Boughner, Ross and W. Ardussi all played good football. Penalties and the breaks of the game against them, tells the story of the Hill ' s loss to Battle Creek, 19-12. At the end of the first half, Arthur Hill came back strongly, outplaying them in all departments of the game, and scoring two touchdowns. Battle Creek ' s third touchdown was luck, pure and simple. Murray and the Ardussi brothers distinguished themselves, and deserve much credit. A gift, nothing more, tells the story of the Muskegon game which ended with a score 6-0 in favor of Muskegon. This team, highly touted, was outfought by the Hills for four quarters. Arthur Hill ' s line was invincible and showed an air-tight defense. In the last quarter Mus- kegon worked the ball to within twelve inches of the Hill ' s goal and then took four downs to put the ball over for a touchdown. On the final down, when the ball came to rest it was six inches from the goal line, but the referee claimed it had been pushed back, and awarded a touch down. There are doubts in the minds of many, however, as to whether the ball went over. Lewis, Hart, Schmiegel, and Tallon were the stars for the Hills. Next came Bay City Central, and although Arthur Hill outplayed them for more than half of the game, they allowed Bay City to get the jump on them at the beginning of the second half, losing 13-6. Bay City ' s first touch down was the result of a seventy yard run and the sec- ond came by straight line plunging with the aid of a 15 yard penalty. The Hill ' s touch down came by straight line plunging. Arthur Hill made a desperate efl ' ort to score in the last min- utes of the game, but fell short of their mar ks. Goldstein and Tallon in the backfield and Snyder on the line all played good football. At Jackson, the Hills were way ofi form and lost 17-7. Credit must be given Jackson, how- ever, for their light, scrappy eleven played good football. Then came the memorable battle with Saginaw in which the Hills allowed Saginaw to get the jump on them in the first few minutes of play. From then on, it was an uphill battle, with the Hillites fighting gamely all the way. Blocked punts and intercepted passes figured large- ly in the final score, 34-0. Arthur Hill put up a wonderful fight, but Saginaw was the strongest team they had faced this season. Tallon, Snyder, Schimmers, Schmiegel and Lewis were the stars. FOOTBALL— SECOND TEAM The Arthur Hill reserves experienced another very successful season, being managed and coached again by A. G. Dersch of the chemisrty department. Among the opponents defeated were the Flint Mutes, Bay City and Breckenridge, the latter being one of the strongest team in the state in Class B. The only game lost in two years was dropped to Saginaw when the squad had been badly crippled by loss of players. From now on, a little brown jug, with the scores inscribed upon it is to be given to the winning team and the boys are resolved that hereafter it shall be at Arthur Hill. OWOSSO F. O. B., SAGINAW C. 0. D. Early on the morning of October 8, 1922, in company with several gentlemen of rank, I departed, afoot, from the fair city of Saginaw, to journey to the distant village of Owosso. perchance to arrive in the last mentioned village in time to witness the annual contest between the High School teams of each city. Ere the sun had reached the quarter mark in the arc above, we were well out upon our way, plodding wearily along the gravel road, occasionally turning about to gaze down the long trail in hope of seeing an approaching motorist, but alas, for myself, and my colleagues, no vehicle was in sight. How strange that no farmers passed along the way, to whose generosity we might appeal, and be given transportation. After six miles of weary travel, I set me down by the road side, but having all the true instincts of a hoboe, I neither grumbled nor became discouraged, nor did my associates. Away down the road we could hear the purring of a motor car; presently a cloud of dust was visible, and slowly the auto came to view. We hailed the driver. He turned his nose in the air, and sped on, accellerating his car to an even greater speed. Evidently he thought we were notorious highwaymen, and I half believed him, for I glanced at my clothing to see, if in any way, they resembled the garb of a hold-up man. Convinced that there was no similarity, I routed my comrades, and we again started down the road, foot-sore and weary. A few rods ahead, a farmer swung out of his private drive in a conveyance that rivaled a Roman chariot in dazzling brillancy of color. We hailed him. Old Liz shivvered and roar- ed. In a voice shaking with the vibration of this potent Ford, he bade us Hurry. We com- plied and after filling the rear and front seats of his venerable chariot, we continued our jour- ney in comfort. The farmer proved to be a genial old soul, who like all down-trodden agri- culturists, frequently kick about the poor prices paid for oats, and the heavy spring rains that ruined his potatoes. But I must get on with my story. After considerable delay, we arrived at New Lothrop, a village midway between Saginaw and Owosso. We hiked another mile and were picked up by a gang of Arthur Hill supporters and carried, rather rapidly, to our destination. In Owosso, we found the gang spread out all over the town, inspecting everything, and passing complimentary remarks, and otherwise, about Owosso ' s wimmen. Three o ' clock found us out on the field watching our local boys go down in defeat, for Owosso proved to be a scrappy bunch and Arthur Hill was defeated. 13-6 meant more than a defeat to my colleagues and me. We were penniless, having made the trip on our nerve. The game over, we tried to hail rides, but they wouldn ' t hail, so we took ourselves to the railroad yard, where several of the gang had already congregated. A freight train would undoubtedly arrive sooner or later, heavy on the last term. It arrived, but only after we had spent the night on the station platform at Owosso. At six o ' clock in the morning our Hoboes ' Pullman drew near. We hopped it, and arrived in Saginaw four hours later, C. O. D. { BOYS ' BASKET BALL k The basket ball season can be considered a fairly successful one. The team, captained by Tooie Currott, finished second in the Valley title race. The first real game was played when the high school team showed the Alumni where to get off at, to the tune of 25 to 17. It was a great send-off for the ' 23 season. The next game was a Valley game with Owosso at Owosso. The Hillites walloped them by the double score of 16 to 8. Hurrah, they are oft ' for the Valley title! Next, Arthur Hill journeyed to Battle Creek and lost by the score of 25 to 17. To the surprise and chagrin of the supporters of Arthur Hill, the Hillites lost to Midland, 20 to 18. Can you beat it! Lose to Midland by one basket! Ah, Ha! Revenge is sweet. Arthur Hill 19; Saginaw 5. Rah! Rah! Rah! Bill Dembinski and Nubs Miller were the shining lights, contributing freely to this decis- ive score. In the next game, the Hillites warriorswith Bill Dembinski playing the last game for Arthur Hill due to the nine semester ruling, out-classed Alpena by the score of 25 to 14. But — in the next game, Arthur Hill was thoroughly outclassed by the M. A. C. All-Fresh, starring Chris Hackett, former Hillite star. Chris practically licked his old team mates single- handed, contributing half the scores for his team. The game ended with Arthur Hill on the short end of a 43 to 17 score. Easy stuff — Owosso vs. Arthur Hill. The Hillites walloped them unmercifully to the tune of 33 to 5, thereby teaching them to remain at home or suffer the consequence. Arthur Hill ' s title hopes are jolted by losing to Bay City by a score of 25 to 10, Ooooh! Greenville is defeated by the Hillites by one point. Score, 15 to 14, Arthur Hill again walloped Saginaw by a score of 23 to 16. Up to the end of the first half, Saginaw was leading by one basket. The Arthur Hill supporters were worried a trifle but cheered their team to victory. In the third quarter, Admiral Crutz went crazy and rung up three baskets, thereby demoralizing Saginaw ' smen, From then on it was easy. In the next game the Hillites were again walloped by Battle Creek to the tune of 25 to 18, Again Bay City Central beat the Hills by a score of 20 to 2 at Bay City City, thereby shat- tering our title hopes and giving the Valley title to Bay City, The Hills did not make one field basket. Something was wrong some place. Out of thirteen games the Hillites lost six. Pretty good, we say! With Captain-elect Nubs Miller, Small Osborn, Schimmer, French, and Mead back next year, a winning combina- tion may be expected. THE LINE-UP: Currott (Capt.) F Dembinske C French F Miller F Small F Schimmer G Comstock G Lovette G Mead F Lewis F Osborn C Mt. Pleasant Tournament On the first day of the tournament, the Knights of Arthur Hill again licked Owosso by the score of 16 to 11, Coach Smiley Bassett instructed them to go easy that they might be fresh for the Bay City game that night. He also worked up a new offense to battle Bay City. But alas! Same old story in the same old way. Bay City defeated Arthur Hill by the score of 16 to 9. An old saying goes, Three times and out. Flint won the Class A champion- ship by defeating Bay City on the following evening. Il km GIRLS ' BASKET BALL At the official opening of basket ball Monday, December 3, fifty girls appeared for the initial tryout. Most of these candidates were veterans of two or three year ' s experience and showed ability which later developed into a first class team. After careful preliminary prac- tice, the girls showed the results of their good coaching under Miss Orrell by winning all but two of the eleven games on their schedule, which was unusually long and heavy. A. H. H. S. 30 Owosso 12 Our first game had a great significance because it was the first Valley game and meant much towards our championship hopes. The girls showed their class by overcoming Owosso to the tune of 30-12 in a well played game. A. H. H. S. 18 Flint Central 21 Our girls seemed lost in their first home game and permitted the Flint girls to go oflF vic- torious. A. H. H. S. 41 East Lansing 19 The girls showed their best form of the year in defeating East Lansing. This game mark- ed the beginning of our winning streak. A. H. H. S. 49 Bay City Central 19 Next! Another push towards the top in the Valley race. This game was just as much of a walk-away as the score indicates. A. H. H. S. 45 Owosso 18 This was our return game with Owosso, so our girls celebrated by raising their first score a few points. A. H. H. S. 16 Flint Central 15 In the closest and most exciting game of the year the girls gained their revenge on Flint for their first defeat by a one point victory. A. H. H. S. 29 Saginaw 18 Well ! Well ! We won from Saginaw High for the first time in years. The game was slowed up somewhat by the frequent calling of fouls by the referee. But the game was not a mistake and our girls clearly outplayed their opponents, especially the center pair, and the team deserved their victory. A. H. H. S. 52 Tawas City 18 It ' s lucky that the girls from the North Country were used to snow, for they were sure caught in a drift. A. H. H. S. 26 Bay City Central 18 In the last game of the year the girls came up victorious. The game was well played, although our lassies were without the services of Shimmer and Dice. Much credit is due to the second team for the keen opposition they provided the varsity. THE LINE-UP: Anna Klemach Jumping Center Alice Dice Side Center Hatty Shimmer Guard Mildred Marks i_-_iv_i__-__ir__:__ ___ Guard Gladys Streeter Forward Dorothy Needham Forward Mary Needham (Sub) Guard Zylpha Kessel (Sub) Forward Hazel Lauer (Sub Side Center TRACK The first call for track brought out thirty-two candidates, among whom are many good prospects who should make 1923 the banner year in track at Arthur Hill. Coach Bassett has pinned his hopes upon winning the Valley Meet, which has not been won by the Hills since 1914. The track team will participate in four interscholastic meets this year — Kalamazoo Col- lege, May 5 ; Kalamazoo Normal, May 11 ; University of Michigan, May 25-26 ; M. A. C. June 2. Track will be the outstanding athletic activity this spring, as it has been decided to drop baseball. The track team of ' 23 is certain to be a success under the coaching of Smiley Bassett and the leadership of the veteran captain, Ray Hart. Hart has already added to the laurels of Arthur Hill this year by winning the half mile in the Interscholastic Contest at Ann Arbor in April. GIRLS ' SWIMMING TEAM For the first time in the history of Arthur Hill a girls ' swimming team was organized. The fine showing which was made was largely due to the interest and help of Harvey Spaulding and the eff orts of Miss Orrell. The following girls were chosen to represent Arthur Hill at the Bay City tank meet: M arion Marks Grace Rankin Ruth Barnard B. Byron Mildred Marks Augusta Osterbeck Irene Tullis With a team like the one represented, no surprise need be expressed at the victory they achieved, the score being 18 to 17. Mildred Marks tied for first place in the 20-yard Australian crawl, and Ruth Barnard fin- ished second. Irene Tullis and Ruth Barnard were first and second, respectively, in the breast stroke, while Marion Marks took first place in the diving contest. i 1 SWIMMING TEAM The aquatic sport has never been given a foremost position in the athletic activities of the high school, but this year there was a strong desire for a swimming team, and in response to a call for candidates, many Arthur Hill swimmers presented themselves at the Y. Try-outs were held and a team composed of the following men was selected: Ray Hart (Captain) Relay — 40-yard Dash Russel Alger 100-yard Dash Martin Tanner Breast Stroke Ferdinand Gainsbauer Back Stroke Wendel Jackson Back Stroke Eddie Alderton Fancy Diving Roddy Mcintosh Fancy Diving Tracy Maynard Plunge for Distance John Gragg Plunge for Distance SENIOR DANCE Just to show how a real party should be given, the senior class gave its party February 28, at Pioneer Hall, and surely set a fine example. The High School Annex was gaily decorated in green and white crepe streamers. An illuminated pin was unusually effective. (Oh, yes! It was our class pin.) The class thought it might be nice to have Ted Lewis or Isham Jones, but they decided on the famed Happy Six Orchestra - and the music was par excellence. Unique favors were thrown from the balcony, and all too soon the party ended, with the applause of fifty couples. So the senior merrymakers turned their weary footsteps Magas- ward, acclaiming it a wonderful party. I m THE FOOTBALL HOPS Hop, hop, hop! Yes, that ' s what they did. Both the football hop and its encore went off nobly. On the 22nd of December, the football squad offered to the light fantastic lovers, the very best dance floor in Saginaw, the Auditorium, and also outside music, the Ambassadors from Atlantic City. How about that? There were some stags choking smiles from above their stiff collars and wondering if their Tinker Tuxedos were a big success. Just as a sort of side issue, our big football team gave us another opportunity to enjoy the Blue Ribbon Orchestra at Pioneer Hall, in order to add to the huge profits derived from the Hop, the purpose of which was to purchase sweaters. As we are not a dime-defending but social-craving hi gh school, the party was beautifully attended, and such a financial success that the squad will be most able to buy the coveted sweaters. SPANISH CLUB PARTY Habla Vd. Espanol? Makes no difference. The Spanish Club gave a delightful All School Party the first semester and invited the whole school at thirty-five cents per head. (Al- though we ' re not a bunch of cattle, if we do have a line.) The decorations were simply swanky and the music — but let it suffice to say that every one was highly elated over its suc- cess and we wish the Spanish Club would keep up the good work. SOPHOMORE FROLIC The High School Annex was the scene of a pretty little party given by the Sophomores, March 10th. They invited all their little playmates and had a lovely time. Whether or not they told Bedtime Stories, I cannot say, for Roily Waite rolled his eagle eye around the balcony and the upper-classmen disappeared. No, really, the Soph Dance was a truly grown-up affair. The Black Diamond Orchestra furnished the music, and, they say, delicious refreshments were served. The party was well chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. Haggard, Mr. and Mrs. Marks, Mr. and Mrs. Snow, Miss Jennings, Miss Wakefield, and Mr. Howe. But, tell us, Sophs, why so exclusive? 9i il iiliiliillSi ffiS THE CARNIVAL Everyone had a circus at the Carnival, March 23rd, which goes down in both the social and financial history of the Athletic Association, as being a real success. Officers co-operated with Mr. Haggard in the stand he is taking as to improper dancing and all guilty of said mis- demeanor were promptly arrested and fined. Candy and soft drink booths were conveniently arranged to refresh the dancers and incidentally to reimburse the treasury. Madaline Schurr proved an attractive entertainer in a dance number. Hot Tamale! Bill Dembinske rivaled Hagenbeck Wallace, themselves, in his side show. They say it was a riot. But were you in the Great Beyond? Horror-stricken, the over-adventurous fled from its terrors. Besides, some rummies disguised themselves as bigger rummies and were regular fun-makers. Others washed their faces and proved very effective masqueraders. A. F. P. ALL SCHOOL PARTY The Alice Freeman Palmer Club gave a very successful All School Party at the Annex, April 7th. Excellent music was furnished and favors were thrown from the balcony. A fine crowd attended and frolicked ' midst the confetti streamers until eleven o ' clock. THE JUNIOR FANDINGO Now, I ask you, what could be more delightful than a Fandingo? The Junior Fandingo was held April 21st, at the High School Annex. Exceptionally good music was provided and novelties were distributed. A unique color scheme of black and white was used very effectively to decorate Old Pioneer. All this for the nominal sum of fifty cents, too! This party took the place of the J-Hop, an annual institution of the High School.

So it is with the Seniors of ' 23. We must turn to a blank page in the history of Arthur Hill, and present our true account. Procrastination is the Mother of Defeat, so we Seniors organized early in September and chose our officers as follows: Raymond Hart President Henry Snyder Vice President Don Metcalf Siecretary Roswell Burrows Treasurer Miss Clark Class Adviser Miss Boyle Legenda Adviser A noble beginning must mean a successful year and a special meeting was called at which we decided upon class dues. A pay your dues campaign followed and the class subscribed 100% strong. The Legenda board was chosen and soon a staff was busy collecting material for the an- nual, which by the way, is the best ever published by an Arthur Hill class. Now Variety is the spice of life, and we Seniors had been working quite hard on exams, so a wee bit of recreation was planned in the form of a Senior Dance, which was given at the Annex. Music was furnished by the famed Happy Sex, and did we dance? Well, ask the gang. School activities have had a large representation of Seniors, especially athletics. The football team was composed almost entirely of Seniors, while Capt. Curott, Dembinski, Com- stock, and Lewis, represented the class in basketball. Forensics also had devotees among the Seniors, for the entire negative debating team, in- cluding Natalie Duclos, Everett Winslow, and Don. Metcalf, were all Seniors. Everett Wins- low also represented the school in Oratory, while George Lehr and Abe Oserowsky defended the second team laurels in debate. Honor Bright was chosen for the Senior play and was presented at the Auditorium, May fourth. A packed house and clever acting made it the dramatic sensation of the year. Commencement is all set for the 21st of June when we must bid farewell to old Arthur Hill. There is no more room on the page alloted to the Class of ' 23, so we ' ll just quote the class motto, Be on the square, and turn the page that holds the record of the greatest class in the history of Arthur Hill. DON METCALF, Secretary. JUNIOR CLASS Tramp, tramp, ' 24 is coming. Coming right on to Senior year. Senior officers, and to Senior examples. The Juniors have been first, last and at all times, a loyal class, loyal to themselves, to their Arthur Hill, and to their principles. If 1924, as Juniors, have not adhered strictly to tradition, they find comfort in the final old proverb, the course of love never did run smoothly. Being in a philanthropic mood, one day, we thought of something to do for the benefit of the whole school and the rest of the town. We have arranged for a Lyceum Course for our Senior Year. Amid the peals of laughter from behind the scenes, the Junior stars made their debut in the world of dramatic arts. Besides being gifted in dramatic lines, the Juniors were proficient in creating trembling stage setting, from which even Belasco might obtain a few novel sugges- tions. Now instead of giving the regulation J-Hop which was the expected thing for the Juniors to do, of course, 1924 gave the Junior Fandango (three guesses as to what that is) a la King Tut Style. You see from above our vain endeavors to be different and we hope to shout for 1924.

HI-Y CLUB The first meeting of the Hi-Y Club was called by Ray Hart, the retiring president, and the following were elected officers for the year: Plans were made for rounding up all possible candidates for the club, and dues were set rather high to assure an appreciative membership. During the year, the club has entertained various groups. Among these were the football team and the orchestra in appreciation of their faithful service to the School. In April the Club sponsored a concert by the Kalamazoo College Glee Club, which was a complete success. A basketball team was organized late in the year and we succeeded in defeating the Sagi- naw Hi-Y team by a score of 50-9. Some of the speakers who addressed the club at our regular bi-monthly luncheons were: Rev. H. W. Fischer, H. D. Spaulding, Mr. T. V. Martin, Mr. Howe, Mr. Humes, Mr. Dersch, Prosecuting Attorney Brucker, Mr. Wallis Craig Smith, besides many regular Club members. Early in the year Mr. Humes was succeeded by Mr. R. N. Ogden as Y. M. C. A. advisor. Mr. Howe, our faculty advisor, has been of great help throughout the year.

SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES CLASS OFFICERS President Roland Waite Vice President Fred Helfrecht Secretary Eleanor Johnson Treasurer Marion Marks Class Advisor Miss Jennings From the very start the Class of ' 25 has been the pep class and we certainly have proved ourselves worthy of that title this year. Our first meeting was held in the early part of October for the purpose of electing officers. Miss Jennings was persuaded to be our class advisor. In a meeting held in January, plans were made for our very successful party which was given March 10th in the Annex. Our class colors were changed from purple and gold to maroon and white. We have been well represented in athletics by Harold Schimmer, captain-elect of next year ' s football team; also Nubs Miller, our next year ' s basketball captain; Tommy Tallon, Russell Spaulding, Carl Smiley, Kendrick Failing, Morris Goldstein, Mary Neeclham, Dorothy Needham, and Zylpha Kessell. Both the boys ' and girls ' Sophomore teams have won the interclass championships this year. If we don ' t have an up-to-date class of dignified Juniors next year, it won ' t be because we lack pep and initiative. E. JOHNSON, Secretary.

Early in the year they met in the Annex and selected the follovi ing girls as their officers: Many delightful and novel parties have been held, and if the old Annex v as able to talk it would tell of many strange sights it has witnessed. One of the most delightful of these affairs was the Halloween party, where every one who came was given many thrills in a trip through the great beyond. The Hobo party was not a dressy affair, in one sense of the word, but one in which lots of fun was enjoyed by everyone, dressed in their oldest clothes and ready for any- thing. The costume party, which gave the girls a chance to show their ingenuity, was a huge success. The best feature of the club, however, is that it brings the girls together, they show co- operation in the stunts, dances and games, and they mingle with one another, from seniors, post graduates, and alumnae to freshmen, all pulling together for the good of the club. The girls have no regular meetings as most clubs have but the business is all transacted at the numerous parties. Now, at the close of the school year, we feel that the girls can look back on the year 1922-23 with a great deal of satisfaction with the knowledge that they have left the Girls ' Club a bigger and better organization.

However, the co-operation of the students in debating was not so ap- parent as in athletics, and at times the debators and their excellent coach, Mr. T. J. Denny, felt that they were fighting alone — but at almost all of the debates a fair representation of the students were present; and five out of a possible sixteen points were obtained in the league. Our first debate of the season was held at the Annex December 8th in which Everett Wins- low, Donald Metcalf, and Natalie Duclos defended the negative side against Saginaw High School. The question was: Resolved, that the United States and Canada should jointly con- struct a deep waterway canal to the Atlantic by the way of the St. Lawrence River, as was stated in the report of the International Joint Commission submitted to Congress in January, 1922. This debate was a very close and interesting one. Our team won by a 2-1 decision. On January 11, our negative team was opposed by Pontiac High School at Pontiac, where a unanimous decision was rendered in favor of the affirmative team. The next two league debates were upheld by Sidney Schroeder, Bay Goodrow and Helen Hollies on the affirmative side of the question. This team had two practice debates — one with Midland High School, in which we won unanimously; and the other debate with Saginaw High at Saginaw with a 2-1 decision. The third league debate was scheduled for January 26, with Owosso, at the Annex, but for various reasons this debate was postponed until after our next league debate which was against Port Huron High School at Port Huron. Our team lost 2-1 to Port Huron ' s negative team. The Owosso debate was held February 23 where for the first time we met a good debating team — and were also surprised at the number of students who were present. Although we fought to the limit, we lost 2-1 to the negative defenders who were superior in delivery, if not in rebuttal. Our second negative team composed of Abe Oserowsky, Everett Winslow and George Lehr, defeated Midland in a debate on the league question. Thus out of seven debates we were on four occasions awarded the decision. The results are not so discouraging, but we must all admit that the best results have not as yet been ac- complished. So students, let ' s turn over a new leaf and give the debaters our undivided sup- port and see if we cannot have still better results next year. HELEN HOLLIES. ORATORY The sub-district oratorical contest was held at Arthur Hill April 6th, with entries from Alpena, Standish, Onaway, Saginaw High and Arthur Hill. Our representatives were Everett Winslow, who won first place in oratory, and Clara Shafer, who was entered in the declama- tion contest. The subject of Everett ' s oration was, The Supreme Need of Democracy, and in point of thought and style, would do honor to many a college student. Fred Heilmann of Saginaw High won second place. Clara Shafer was subjected to severe competition in the declamation contest, but she ac- quitted herself admirably with the declamation, A Message to Garcia. Everett Winslow will go to the district contest which will be held in Flint April 27. SENATE After considerable discussion the old Student House of Arthur Hill was divided into two bodies, the Seniors withdrawing to form a Senate and the underclassmen comprising the Lower House. A constitution was drafted and accepted and the officers for the first and second sessions were as follows: 1st Term 2nd Term President Don Metcalf Don Metcalf President Pro Tem Wallace Ardussi Cullen McDonald Clerk George Needham Earl Harris Assistant Clerk John Benson Abe Oserowsky Censor Everett Winslow Everett Winslow Sergeant-at-Arms Burton Ross Harold Mertz The primary object of the Senate is to create an interest in debating and parliamentary law. That it has accomplished its object is self-evident, for Arthur Hill now possesses many a gifted speaker, where before there were but few. Bills for discussion were those that confront our Congressmen, and in each case they were handled with cleverness and force by the student legislators. On February 17, 1923, there was an open meeting to which the public was invited and before a small crowd, a lengthy and spirited debate was held, resulting in the adoption of a ' ' Bill to Provide for Capital Punishment of Major Crimes. Other issues debated upon were: The Compulsory Ballot, Cancellation of Allied War Debts, the Freedom of the Philippines, and many more equally important. mm The prospects for next year ' s Senate are equally good for there are many juniors in the House of Representatives, and they will undoubtedly form a lively Senate. Plans for the Congressional Banquet to be given at the end of the second term, are being made, at which we will have a chance to display our appetites as well as our forensic ability.

Under the inspiring leadership of Mr. Haggard it has developed from a mere assembly into a live organization entirely capable of discussing any question that may come up. At the begin- ning of this year, the Student House was divided, the Seniors withdrawing to form a Student Senate. The traditional fighting spirit has lost but little upon its separation into two bodies, but on the contrary, this session has witnessed some of the stormiest debates in its history, excepting none. Its recent faculty advisor, Mr. Neeles, has proven himself impartial, and a staunch friend of every member of the Student House. His resignation was received with sorrow by this body. The Student House is fortunate in having Mr. Schreiber as his successor. All the meetings have been well attended, and an organization that is so well attended certainly has something behind it of very high quality. The Student House has not only benefited its members mentally but it has given them a view into the intricacies of legislation, and a knowledge of politics that will prove invaluable when they become full-fledged citizens of the United States. It has proved itself equal to the task of producing logical, clear-headed debaters, and, if it has accomplished nothing else, that alone has earned for it the gratitude of every member.

SPANISH CLUB It has long been felt that Spanish, as a commercial and cultural language, should be represented in school activities. Its supporters met at the first of the year, elected officers, promulgated a constitution, and the present Spanish Club is the result. As a social organization, this club has proved highly successful. This year the Spanish Club dance was the only one for years that resulted in a financial, as well as social success. The inauguration of speeches on Spanish life and customs, has not only created an interest in the subject, but has given the advanced students an intimate knowledge of Hispanic culture. From an enrollment of twelve at the first meeting, to a final enrollment of forty-seven members at the sixth meeting, the Spanish Club almost accomplished the impossible. The Spanish Club is out to win.

ALICE FREEMAN PALMER CLUB The various activities of the Alice Freeman Palmer Club have met M ith great success dur- ing the school year. Educational and entertaining programs have been given, and the club has featured many debates at its various meetings. At the first meeting held October 9th, we were introduced to Miss Woodman ' s co-worker, Miss Powers, who has taken the vacancy left by Miss Donna Boyle. Special programs were given at Christmas time and Valentine ' s Day, after which refrseh- ments were served. The proceeds of a sandwich sale were used to finance an All-School Party which was given April 7th, at the Annex. Good music and a lively crowd at this event, wound up our social ac- tivities for the year. The Officers 1st Semester 2nd Semester Secretary Treasurer.

William Carton Leland Walker Peggy Carton Viola Schurry Honor Bright Hazel Booth Rev. James Schooly Henry Snyder Bill Drum Harold Mertz Tot Marvel Mary Hart Watts Byron Staffeld Annie Vivian Day Maggie Ruth Beckbissinger Foster Merrill MacDonald Michael Burton Ross Simpson Dale Bennett The contribution of the Seniors this year of Honor Bright, a three act comedy by Mere- dith and Kenyon Nicholson, was all that could be asked for. The plot centers around Richard Barrington, who leaves college and starts for home ac- companied by Tot Marvel, a chorus girl, who is his fiancee, and whom he hopes will be accepted by his family. Tot is entangled in the meshes of the law and does not arrive at Richard ' s home. Honor Bright, a college graduate who is selling books to obtain money to take her M. A. degree at Radcliffe, walks into the Barrington ' s parlor and is mistaken for Tot. Complications arise and provide many humorous situations, especially when Tot arrives, as she is a typical Broadway type. Bill Drum an old pal of Tot ' s, thoroughly understands the situation and solves it by marrying Tot. Consequently, Honor and Richard are brought closer together, and the old, old story is retold once more. Many amusing situations were provided by Tot, Drum, Maggie, and Foster. Much com- mendation is due the participants in view of their splendid portrayals. The play was held in the Auditorium, May 4th The able coaching of Mr. Emil Howe was not in vain, for his efforts were well rewarded. THE WREN WILLIAM C. DEMBINSKE, Dramatic Editor The presentation of Booth Tarkington ' s The Wren this year was heralded as one of the best productions ever given by a Junior class. The histrionic ability displayed by the actoi-s in characterizing some very difficult roles would have done justice to a much older group of individuals. The scene of this comedy character drama is laid in the Eastern coast, the action taking place in a boarding house owned by a Cap ' n Olds, a retired seaman, and operated by his daugh- ter, Seeby. One of the star boarders is a young and handsome artist, Hugh Roddie. A transient, Mrs. Frazee comes to the house to spend a few weeks to regain her imaginary lost health. She be- comes infatuated with the young artist who is about to succumb to her wiles when the unex- pected and timely arrival of her husband, coupled with the ingenuity of Seeby Olds, causes him to find himself. Seeby ' s cleverness finally wins for her the affections of Hugh Roddie and the happy ending is assured for a delighted audience. Francis, the head porter, and Mrs. Freeheart, are responsible for the humor in the play, their interpretations being delightful and giving the play the necessary color. Too much cannot be said for Mr. Howe and his able assistant. Miss Dillon, whose tireless efforts in coaching the play were in a great measure responsible for its success. The play was held at the North Intermediate School and nearly a thousand people were in attendance. THE CAST Cap ' n Olds Seeby, his daughter .

The play deals with a young doctor who treats insane patients and for this reason, lives next to an insane asylum. His wife and mother-in-law are continually disturbed, since they fear crazy people and because the doctor allows his patients to visit him at any time. Isidora, an old friend of the doctor, arrives in town and calls unexpectedly at the doctor ' s home. He is aware that the doctor allows his patients to call and consequently mistakes the mother-in-law for a lunatic and vica versa, which ends in much embarassment for the would-be lunatics. The doctor finally arrives and straightens out matters. The play will be staged under the most able tutelage of Miss Abele. THE INTERNATIONAL GAZETTE All the Stuff That ' s Fit to Print SHANGHAI, CHINA, JANUARY 30, 1934. EMPLOYEES BEGIN SUIT AGAINST CIGAR MAGNATE Havanna, Cuba. — Messrs. Snyder, Hart and Burrows have begun suit in circuit court against James Lehan, prominent cigar manu- facturer. The plaintiffs charge that while they were passing through the testing labora- tory of the El Fumo plant they were exposed to the noxious fumes of the burning cigars. Lehan made a statement in the presence of witnesses that the ingredients used in the cigars were of the finest quality obtainable. Efforts on the part of the plaintiff ' s counsel to prove that Lehan has engaged in illicit traf- fic of liquor have thus far proved futile. WIFE OF PROMINENT MINISTER CHARGES BIGAMY Mineola, L. I. (Special to the Gazette.) — He has all the instincts of a Mormon, sobbed the wife of the Rev. William Kessel, in an interview with a Gazette correspondent this morning. Mrs. Kessel was formerly Miss Ruth Han- num of Saginaw, Michigan. Flipp as she calls her husband had been paying considerable attention to Marie Andre, an actress in Wm. Deminske ' s Scandals, and according to Deminske ' s statement, Miss Andre was married to Rev. Kessel last week. RECOUNT DEMANDED BY SCHURR SECURES SEPARATION AFTER MONTHS OF BRUTAL TREATMENT AT HANDS OF CRUEL SPOUSE Reno, Nevada. — The Reno divorce court was the center of many a sad scene today when Judge Appleby granted a decree of divorce to Elywn Comstock from his brutal spouse ,formerly Miss Mildred Reins. Comstock presented a plea in which he stated that for the past seven years he has been subject to severe beatings. He also as- serted that on the evening of March 25, 1930, he was walking into his apartment on Lower Moorhouse Boulevard when his wife assault- ed him with a feather duster, beating him to sensibility and disrupting his shellacked hair. At this time the Gazette wishes to compli- ment Mr. Comstock upon his separation and wishes him a life unencumbered by any art- ful female. HAM ACTORS GIVEN RAZZ IN LONDON THEATER Van Lilliestierna and Shank Ross, appear- ing in Little Eva, were given the Royal Razz in London, where their deep wit proved to be too Deep for the London theatre goers.

POSSE SCOURS FOOTHILLS FOR NOTORIOUS FUGITIVE Los Angeles, Calif. — Kenneth Schurr, de- feated candidate for the office of City Dog Catcher, has circulated petitions for a re- count.

Schurr also charges that Weil threw several hundred bal- lots down the Fifth Street manholes. Ogden, Utah — He ' s out again ! No, this isn ' t an add for Holeproof Hosiery, but a statement made by Sheriff Lovette when he discovered that his prisoner, Chuck Murray had escaped during the night. Murray was held on a charge of smiling on the Sabbath. Since Governor Needham ' s ad- ministration, Utah has been a blue state and to smile on the Sabbath is considere a dire offence. EXTRA ! EXTRA !

Krutz had scored two direct hits accord- ing to radio messages picked up at Reikjavik, Iceland. STORMY BATTLE WAGES IN SENATE After hours of firey debate, which has cen- tered around Senators Merril McDonald and Munson, it is believed by such strong lobby- ists as Arduino Ardussi, head of the Radio Association, and Victor Cole, chief farmers ' lobbyist, that a bill to provide for a bounty on cooties would pass the Senate by a small majority. DOWNTOWN RESTAURANT BURNED St. Louis, Mo. — (Special to the Gazette.) — Fire believed to have started from hot dogs in the basement of an adjoining red hot stand crept through the fire wall and totally de- stroyed the Hash Foundry, one of St. Louis ' most popular stag restaurants.

Husbands came from near and far to enroll in the club, among them being such distinguished citizens as Mayor Benson of Little Rock, Leland Walker, Im- perial Wizard Curott of a New York secret society, and the Rt. Rev. Francis Pitts. At the initial meeting of the order, resolu- tions were adopted, the essence of which were as follows: That the members of this association had bound themselves together in an effort to prevent their wives from midnight pocket pilfering. The interest of the session was brought to a humorous climax when Rev. Pitts stated that his wife had found a pair of dice and matches in his pockets. The Gazette warns Mr. Pitts against carry- ing dice in his pockets as this is a dangerous practice, especially since the founding of the Society for the Extermination of Crap Shoot- ers. C.

Navarro had been engaged by the Metropolitan Entertainment Company to per- form, the contract reading that if any acci- dent occurs in which party of the second part fails to act as heretofore stated, the validity of this contract will be questionable. Navarro fell from the flagpole, and light- ed in an awning seven stories below. He broke his contract. They ' ll have chipped beef at the Greeks tonight, observed the fat carpenter, as he fell on the buzz saw. Compton Narrowly Escapes Injury Freeport, Illinois. — Hugo Compton, a farm- er living seven miles south of Freeport, nar- rowly escaped serious injury and possibly death, Friday night when a ferocious mule, owned by a neighboring farmer, broke through the hedge fence and charged down upon him. Compton, realizing his danger, fled across a corn field, with the infuriated beast in hot pursuit.

There ' s health in every drop, said the steeple-jack as the rope broke.

I hate to say it but your dear old ant vot you luffed so much iss dead. She died of Ne. Monia on New Years day in New Orleans at fifteen minutes in front of five. Some people think she had population of der heart; the doctor g-ave up all hopes of a family for two boys and two cows. They found $10,000 sewed up in her bustle. It was an auful lot to leave be- hind. She villed it all to the boys, in case they die, the fortune goes to the cows. Old Mrs. Offenbach is very sick, she is just about at deaths door. The doctor tinks he can pull her through. She has such a nice little boy, he is just like a human beast. Your brudder Gus took our dog Fido down to the saw mill yesterday to had a fight.

I wouldn ' t be an emperor, I wouldn ' t be a king, I wouldn ' t be an angel For angels have to sing. I ' d rather be a Senior and never do a thing. There was a hefty bold Who came from toity-toid A goil had he Who flung, did she, A wicked adenoid. A peach came walking down the street; She was more than passing fair; A smile, a nod, a half-closed eye, And the peach became a pair. A lovely girl was Mary Jane, She got all wet out in the rain. Her dress so thin Clung to her skin There ain ' t no loss without a gain. He failed in Physics, flunked in Chem. They heard him softly hiss, — I ' d like to catch the guy who said That ignorance is bliss. Thanks. Blesings on thee, little dame, Barebacked girl with knees the same; With thy turned down silken hose And thy thin, transparent clothes; With thy red lips reddened more, Smeared with lipstick from the store; With thy make-up on thy face And thy bobbed hair ' s jaunty grace. From my heart I give thee joy. Glad that I was born a boy! — W. P. Roby In the days of old When men were bold. And Fords were not invented; You walked your lass, O ' er blades of grass. And went along contented. Nowadays Proverbs George Dice — A fool and his high school are soon parted. Hank Snyder — Handsome is as long as handsome doesn ' t. Dot Brock — The wind bloweth, and the wind ceaseth, but the she casseth never. W. W. — Whom the teacher loveth, he chasteneth, and he loveth many. R. Burrows — He who sneaked his best friend ' s woman, committeth an abomination in the eyes of his best friend. Mickey M. — Rolling the bones gathers no moss. Al Comstock — Never put off for tomorrow what you can miss today. Bill Dembinsky — He who loves and runs away, loves another the next day. I Wonder What would you think of a girl who told you that the only chance you had of kissing her was to catch her when her mouth was closed; and then have her sit there the rest of the evening without saying a word. Mrs. Ho.: Well, what did your caller talk about last night? Daughter Ruthie: Kith and kin. . Small Brother: That ' s right. He said, ' May I kith you, ' and you said, ' yes, you kin ' .

MacDonald: My ancestors came over in the Mayflower. M. LaFleur: It ' s lucky they did, the im- migration laws are a little stricter now. R. Hannum: Why do you call that girl a dumbbell? T. Maynard: I kissed her once and she never told. L. Eynon: Do you approve of the Vol- stead Act? Mr. Haggard : Well, er-no, I never enjoy vaudeville.

Well, if you are careful I won ' t Miss Vanderhoof: Give a definition of density. R. Burrows: I can ' t give the definition but I can give an illustration. Miss V. : The illustration is good, take your seat. Mr. Haggard : I had to flunk you in the test. Do you know why? Bill Dembinski: I haven ' t an idea. Mr. Haggard: Just exactly.

Miss Sickels: Are you sure you ' re quali fied to lead a jazz orchestra? J. Lewis: Absolutely, I had two nervous breakdowns, was shell-shocked in France, and I live in a flat over a family of 14 children. They were enjoying a motor ride, and had just entered a country road. May I kiss your hand? he asked, a little confusedly. She removed her motor veil. No, she re- plied, I have my gloves on. Judge : Where did the automobile hit you? ' ' F. Galarno: Well, Judge, if I ' d been carrying a license number it would have busted into a thousand pieces. ' R. Hannum: Will that watch tell time? V. Schury: No, you have to look at it. So this is Paris? said the leg to the gar- ter. B. Staff ield : When I kissed her, she drew herself up in my arms as if taught. Hubert Ryan: I think she learned from some one else, too. Peach : Why do ladies make such good soldiers? Prune : Because they are accustomed to all sorts of arms. Fresh: How far are you in Economics? Junior: In the last stages of ' Consump- tion ' . Minister (warming up to sermon) : And turning to Jer. 4th what do we find? Everett W. (waking up) : Unprepared, sir. ' Well, of all the nerve, she said, slapping his face when he kissed her. Well then, he pouted, if that ' s the way you feel about it get off my lap. R. Smith (sentimentally) : I can see the love light shining in your face. L. Spence (emotionally): Heavens! Where ' s my powder puff? Why does a chicken lay an egg? Because if she drops it, it might break. T. Maynard: Isn ' t that Ruth Hannum with her face all enamelled up? B. Kessel : Certainly looks lacquer. Senior : Soph.: here. Aren ' t you Owen Jones? ' Lord, yes, I ' m owing everybody Fresh Male Flirt: Lend me your Ever- sharp, Miss Blue Eyes.

Nick Mangutz : If a rnan marries a widow by the name of Elizabeth, who has two children, what does he get? J. Benson: I give up. N. M.: A second hand Lizzie and two runabouts. They called the baby steamboat because they had to paddle it behind. I am certainly absorbing a lot of know- ledge, murmured the janitor as he erased the blackboard. Sweet Data, cried the Physics student, as he doped the experiment sheet. Sir, your wife just died. Why tell me about it? Call up the under- taker. Yes, Marietta, my description of a mean man is one who takes his girl on a joy-ride, pr omises not to kiss her then keeps his promise. M. Hinkley (who had just received a beau- tiful set of mink furs) : I don ' t see how such wonderful furs can come from such a low, sneaking beast. Father: I don ' t ask for thanks but I do insist on respect. Miss Boyle: Why is English called the mother tongue? J. Lovett: Because fathers never have a chance to use it. NOTICE Sophomores, please do not leave your tri- cycles and kiddie cars in the hall, as they might interfere with the upper classmen get- ting to their classes. Mr. Dersch : Why didn ' t you filter this? Freddie Bliss: I didn ' t think it would stand the strain. Miss Clark: Parse the word kiss. Hazel Both: This word is a noun, but is usually used as a conjunction and more com- mon than proper. It is not very singular, in that it is usually in the plural. It agrees with me. - - Miss Powers: You act very foolish at times. Can ' t you get over it? R. Hart: I have tried, but my mother makes me sleep in a crazy quilt. Want Ad — Wanted, woman to wash, iron, and milk two cows. R. Hart: What is a zebra? A. Ardussi: A horse in a bathing suit. Did you ever hear a day break when night falls? No, but I ' ve seen a son beam when moon shines. C. Murry: They call my girl ' Spearmint ' . M. McGovern: Why? Is she Wriggly? C. M. : No, but she ' s always after meals. IS THAT SO?

You ' re bound to improve. Freshman Yell Rah! Rah! Ma! Ma! Pa! Pa! Help ! Miss Boyle: Now someone use the word ' ruthless ' in a sentence. J. Lovett: Every team in the American League except the Yankees is Ruthless. Mr. DeHaven: Well, my boy, do you know what ' Syntax ' means? Joe Needham: Yes sir, the duty on liquors. F. Cherry: My feet are going back on me. B, Slocum: Why don ' t you turn around and walk backwards? EXPERIENCE Is your beef tender today? asked the shopping sailor. Sir, replied the sentimental butcher, it is as tender as a woman ' s heart. Gimme a pound of sausage, ordered the sailor hastily. R. Hart: What ' s the matter, finances bothering you? J. Lewis: Yes, I ov e Dice five dollars, I ' ve got it and he knows I know he knows I ' ve got it. C. Vondette: Gladys is fearfully crude isn ' t she? H. Booth : I ' ll say so. She thinks Lotus Eaters are insects. ■ - A SECRET SORROW Maiden (in lower berth) : Sweet slumber, kiss my eyelids. H. Snyder (in upper) : Say, who is this guy, slumber? J. Benson: You better get a haircut. A. Navarro: Why, how so? J. Benson: Well, that ' s cheaper than buying a violin. Earl Shaler: I dreamed that I died last night. Cecil S.: What woke you up? E. Shaler: The heat. H. Ziegler: So Marietta gave up her position to go into the chorus? M. Littledale: Yes, she decided to kick for higher wages.

Boy, she ' s so innocent she thinks Scott Fitzgerald ' s ' The Beautiful and the Damned, ' is a picture of a river. H. Meyer: Officer, a man just winked at me over there. Off icer: Well, do you know who the man is! H. Meyer: find out. ' No, that ' s what I ' m trying to THE FIRST FALL Eve ' s dropping, said Adama, as his wife fell out of the tree. Dr. Gregg : How is it that you spend your allowance so fast? Art G. : I ' m helping out these poor Eski- mos by buying their pies. ' F. Galarno: The Biblical story of the cre- ation must have been written by a baseball reporter. Silver Dersch: How so? Fritz G. : It starts out, ' In the big inning ' . Stu.: Have you seen Theopholus? Pid : Yes, Theopholus show I ever saw. V. Schury: Where is that frat everyone is tallying about? K. Schurr: What new frat? V. S. : Why haven ' t you heard? Eska Mo Pi? Miss Kilbourne: What is a mummy? B. Smith : A mummy is — a mummy is — a mummy is a poppy ' s wife. Poor: What did her father say when he heard you remark about his funny ' feet? Fish: He poked fun at me. 24 I ' ve been trying to think of a word for two weeks. 23 How about fortnight? Never run after a street car or a woman ! There ' ll be another along in a few minutes and remember there aren ' t so many after midnight but they ' re faster. Her: I don ' t believe we saw the original take off of the seven veils at all. Him: Of course not, but wasn ' t it a good take oir? M. Riens: Can you drive with one hand? Flip K. (eagerly) You bet I can.

Eynon: No lowers and very few uppers. 1925 : Why do the upper classmen always refer to the girls as peaches? 1923: The more you handle them the mushier they get. C. McDonald: Lock the door before you go out. M. McDonaJld: How ' ll I go out then? C. McDonald: Go in before you go out and unlock it from the outside, so we can get in if we ' re locked out. R. Burrows: That snappy fellow you just danced with is in my class. B. Bauer: You flatter yourself. Al. Comstock: Going to have dinner any- where tonight?

Yes, just how in thunder do you get a feller away up there so he can ply on them fool things? That physics teacher has not smiled for several years now. He is one teacher who practices what he teaches. He believes in the Law of Gravity. Hugh Blomfield: How did you come to tear your stocking? D. Brock: I did not come to tear my stocking, I came for a walk. H. Snyder: Please give me justice. E. Appleby: I can ' t. H. Snyder: Why? E. Appleby: It ' s Lent. H. Snyder: When will you get it back?
