A MMI KING Class ffistory of '13 NCE a long time ago, to he exact, four years ago, we all felt very im- portant. And why shouldn't we? For We had just received our diplomas, our passport to Western High-the Meeea of our desires. On a bright September morning we finally, with many misgivings, took the step which severed us from our childhood days. At the end of that September day each one of us was ready to swear that Crete was not the Ollly' place possessed of a Labrynth and a Minotoire, for was not Western a maze of windings in which we had become lost many times and were not the Sophomores waiting for their annual victims? Hut after a time, we became used to the maze and our loyalty to dear old Western was established forever. Although we were self-coniident we did not have confidence enough to organize our class, but we spent that year in getting four E's oI1 our card each month, in protecting our desks from tlIe onslaught of the upper Classmen, and in preparing to become Sophomores. The next September, although reduced in numlrer, we were very self- satisfied and ready to give the coming class of Freshmen our place as the target for all jokes and gibes. How we dreaded Geometry and Caesar, but nevertheless we wo1I Caesars battles and conquered the geometrical figures. In fact, we were so fond of Geometry that after our class had been duly or- ganized and we were getting along famously, we chose as our class pin a geometrical figure-the everlasting triangle. We displayed our pins with great pride, but we had to return to sterner realities for we were about to write the examinations, which would determine how many were to become Juniors. Al- though we became Juniors with a slight decrease in number, our spirit was not lacking. As .Iuniors, we realized that a great deal depended on us. We had to keep up not only our studies, but the social activity of the school. We really studied very hard, but English, Physics and other subjects were more difficult, and although the E's were not as abundant as in our Freshman year, never- theless on the whole, we were willing to display our cards. Our next interest was to make our parties a success, which was not as difficult. Besides the several dancing parties that we gave, the Junior Supper and the Senior-Send-Off were affairs which no Junior of class of '13 will ever forget. W'ell, in short, we were glad of the Send-Off because when the Seniors were properly sent off, weren't we to take their places, a dignified Senior? Now, Senior is proud and haughty title, but we were each and every one able to live up to it. The day we entered room 9 we felt our importanceg from force of habit we did nothing shocking. We studied early and late on Chem- istry, Solid and Burke until we knew each book from cover to cover. We also assisted the teachers in teaching the Freshmen that High School is not all a lark. We could not stand the strain of hard and persistent study and so we give a few parties. Well, you know what a Senior party isgjust a. real good time, and in everyone we lived up to our reputation. And then our Coffee, our Theater Party, our Trip to Germany, and last but not least, our Yankee Peddler, -who will ever forget them? We have enjoyed every day at Western and a few of us a day on the Kawkawlin. As a class, we have usually been financially and intellectually successful. And let us hope that we as individuals we may continue the reputation of the class. 49 y 'bfnv reg eiodf AW, vifx f iQ were 5 W 5 'w , W1,,,gg.,-ga A v N X5 E Nt 040 'nys 0 Z ,D ,131 'Vg ., gf!

Dear Bessie: I promised that I would write to you while I was visiting Helen Wilson Smith, and tell you all about everything when I arrived in San Antonio. Helen and her husband met me at the depot. He attended to my. baggage, while Helen and I had a talk. We then motored to their home and arrived just in time for dinner. ' I think perhaps you will be interested in our conversation which was about all of our classmates. Helen has kept track of them. I will tell you all I can remember. Edna Walton is now head matron in the North Western depot, at Chicago, where she gives information to all the strange women who wish it, and looks after them generally. After graduating, Gladys Henessy took a trip West with her father, but she did not accompany him on his return journey, for we understand she met and married a young ranchman. You remember Hazel Kelly's good cakes. Well, she is making them now for sale and is earning a good living. Margaret Molynaux is doing settlement work in Chicago, and we know she must be successful. We all remember Abbie Ralston in our girls' basket ball team. She has kept on as she began, and is now physical director in Vassar College. Madeline Hewes is studying art in Italy and expects to return in a few months and open up a studio ln New York. We always said that Ethel Lisk would be a missionary. She is, in a way, for she is teaching an Indian School in the west. You remember how competent Hazel Blodgett was in school affairs. She is just as capable in her official position as president of the Detroit Civic League, and is head of a club whose aim is to reform politics. Mabel Valead is now a modiste, and fashions gowns only for the society leaders in Newport. You know, of course, how opposed Florence Kennedy was during her High School days to women's suffrage. She has been converted, and is called a second Anna Shaw. She is prominent as a leader of the large meetings, al- though they never begin on time. Helen Bacon has won renown as an illustrator for short stories, and in the last year has taken up the study of cartoons. ' Effie Horne has been made wealthy by her invention of a new musical instrument. The name of which I cannot remember. . Dorothy Goulet's name is not Goulet any more, but is an honored one, especially among the poor of her city where her husband works day after day to alleviate suffering. . - Sarah Shaver has won great recognition as a lawyer by her clever hand- ling of all sorts of cases. You would scarcely recognize Isabel Bennet. She has grown plump and has such rosy cheeks. All this is due to her work. She has a market garden where all kinds of vegetables may be bought .at a reasonable price. Gertrude Davis is forming a. company to induce all the schools to put revolving stairways in the buildings. Gertrude has spent much time on this. She says it is because she wasted so much time going up and down stairs while she was in school. Genevieve Church, after teaching for a while took up a college course, and is making a record as she is to be president of Smith College next year. Blanche Pike is now famous as an author. Two of her best known books are The Good Girl and The Scholar. Florence Manning is now taking a personally conducted party for a trip abroad. In this party is one of our old school friends, Mrs. Anna Van Egmond Youno, who is now a widow. Agnes Trudell is a very versed business woman and is head of the main office of a large manufacturing concern. For a few years after Martha Sturn graduated she taught school, but that life became too monotonous so she took up the study of aviation, and now owns one of the famous North Aeroplanes. This aeroplane was invented by Oscar North, who always did soar head and shoulders above us in everything. She travels from one State Fair to another giving exhibitions of her won- derful skill in handling the machine. Wilbert Miller is now employed in the west by the U. S. Forestry bureau. Hazen Frantz has controlling stock in the 'Tobacco trust. Charles Hinman isone of the most prominent M. D.'s in his home town. Albert Light, t'Sleeplng Beauty of our class, has been aroused, and after traveling around, has settled down in Flint as president of an automobile con- cern. Mahlon Parsons is now a short, fat, good natured farmer situated on a very prosperous farm near here. Ammi King is a speaker in the House of Representatives. This position was obtained because of his excellent training in High School. Ivan Royal has made money in intensive farming, and is now a collector of old and rare books. Harry Wetters is a traveling salesman for a firm who manufactures a new hair curling fluid. Raoul Clement is making a name for himself as an architect. Roy Thomas is Manual Training teacher and physical director of the public schools in Grand Rapids. He has charge of a special course, How to make furniture out of soap boxes. I am having a fine time here and on my way home I expect to visit. Hazel Blodgett. Then I will return to Bay City and continue planning meals for my mother and father.

The date was set for October 19, 1912, and Elizabeth Thurau was appointed Cl13.il'l112Lll. The supper was a success and the conunittee received the coinplinients of many of Bay Cit.y's business lnen. as well as ol' the tat-ulty. The profits nearly reached the half- hundred mark. At the next class meeting, a Junior dance was planned and the date as December 31, 1912. The coniniittees were appointed, everything was well arranged and about sixty couples had a delightful evening. The next dance was given at Washington hall on February 28, 1913, and was a great success. During the year the class was entertained by the Seniors at several dancing parties.

WILLIAM PRESLEY Secretary and Treasurer ...... FREDERICK BROWN T WAS toward the middle of September, on a bright sunny day, that the class of '15 first wended its way to an old brick building, known as Western High. Finding shelter in Miss Schroeder's session room, they chose the subjects they were to follow up. Having passed a few successful months in High School life, this class sent a number of athletes to the football field and basket ball gymnasium. Finding they had the sand that would make a class honorable to XVestern, they kept on pushing toward the front. When one year had elapsed and they were known as Sophs, they elected early in the year the usual class officers, as follows: President, Hubert Tuckerg secretary and treasurer, Frederick Brown. Mr. Tucker having resigned upon his departure from High School, Mr. Presley assumed the chair. The next thing that the class did was to create a fund to relieve the ten- sion in the Junior yearg after a long series of debates and long considerations, the class agreed to publish a paper about every two months, naming it the Occident, of which two issues were published. It seems to be fitting for us to turn our Ininds to another subject which the class took up. lt being announced that a state oratory and declamatory contest was to be held. Earl Smith was sent to the local declamatorial con- test, having two Freshmen to combat with. His subject being Kipling's poem, Gunga Din. Representing the school at Saginaw, he was successful in carrying off the first prize. When he went to join the state contest. he was debarred on account of his subject being poetry ruther than prose. Yet Mr. Smith deserves the honor of the class, for putting his shoulder to the wheel, and helping to make this class one of the greatest ones that was ever at Western. '16 Freshmen Class OUR years hence there will be in Western High School a graduating' class that will startle the world with its talents. The pupils are destined to become great men and women, having already developed considerably along the line of declamation and oratory. They are Freshmen now, to' be turned out in four years as full fledged Seniors. There are 79 in number, the girls having the majority. They are the cutest and the wisest of all Fresh- men fthat is their own opinion, however.J They are also very ambitious and very likely are looking forward with joy to the time when they can edit a Senior Annual. They are not very sociable, but are not grouchy-just bashful, that's all. However, the class has not yet organized, but we wish them all kinds of success, which undoubtedly will be great, as they seem to have a class spirit which is certainly wonderful. Most likely they will have to lock the students in the room when they want a meeting. Soon they will bid farewell to their Freshmen days, to leave them forever behind, whether with joy or sorrow, it is hard to say. At any rate, they are undaunted by the prospect before them fand will love to think of the past.J They will be Seniors some day, they say, and then they will have re- venge. is i --'w..':'1!-Q J-- 4 'l'f'l-f- ville.-2-fl-'illl.

A Senior was sitting in a hammock with his Virgil, around him were his Chemistry, Solid and Macbeth. These were not sufficiently entertaining, and the heat was oppressive, There was a hazy, far away look in his eyes, but a smile on his lips. Isn't it pardonable in a Senior, on a warm summer afternoon surrounded by uninteresting books, to sleep a little or to have a day dream? Well, this is what that Se11ior did. Let's dream with him. When we arrived at school one morning he saw, tacked .upon the bulletin board, this sign, I-Iereafter school will not begin until 10 a. ni. Do not re- port today but instead report at 8 p. m. Anxious to know the meaning of this, he and his fellow students were pres- ent at the appointed time. They were amazed at the transformation of the building and the grounds. Both were ablaze with lights. On the grounds beau- tiful flowers had sprung up since morning, rustic seats were placed in retired corners, and little summer houses dotted the velvety lawn. In one of these airy- like structures he was given a gold pin embossed with a miniature Western High. Everywhere he was honored and received with a hearty welcome. Everywhere jolity and good-fellowship prevailed. Having anxiously wandered around, he entered the Study Hall. What! No seats! No books! The place was transformed into a ball room, and every one was dancing to the soft strains of the orchestra, After a few dances he left the ball room and wandered about only to find that the whole building was metamorphosed. In some rooms he found his friends roller skating: in others, he saw a vaudeville performanceg and in still another he saw motion pictures. He, indeed, thought the World had been turn- ed upside down. When we had tired of these amusements and started in search of others, he saw a large crowd assembled in one room. He made his way thither and found that an excellent program had been arranged and everyone was waiting for the artists. His eyes dilated with astonishment when, looking over the program, he read among the others, such numbers as the following: 1 - What's the Use of Studying -Solo ...........................,............ Miss Schroeder 2- Merits of Gum Chewers -Address .............................................. Miss Merrill 3- Just Guess at the Answers -Duet .,................., Mr. Morris and Mr, Hassett 4- There's Nothing Like Slang -Recitation ................................

And didn't every teacher tell him that he must get everything done today? What could have happened to these honored teachers whose opinions had been altered in one day? It was unex- plainable. Absorbed in the thoughts of a newly discovered state of affairs, our Senior ,wandered about. He soon left the building, but as soon as he was outside, he abserved the faculty serving refreshments such as were never heard of or imagined, and which looked fit for the gods. He was now thoroughly content and was about to devour all the dalnties before him when a loud cheer for the Faculty, Seniors and dear old Western went up from a thousand throats. His cup of contentment was full and he was ready to swear allegiance to Western High. After Wandering about the lawn, the boys gave one more rousing cheer and-well, it's only a dream. GENEVIEVE M. CHURCH, '13. ' ' 'Ff l'a3'!'lf51'!'1i.u A Trip Through Sweden I N the third of June, in nineteen hundred and three, I left for a trip abroad. After passing through England, Holland and Denmark, I arrived in Stockholm early one Tuesday morning. Stockholm, as is well known, is the capital of Sweden, located at the southeast end of Lake Malar. The houses of Stockholm are brick and most of them two stories high. They have small windows and look something like our bungalows. The city has cement sidewalks and streets like our modern cities, The king's palace is located on the lake and it is made of white granite blocks. It is plain, being only a square building, and it contains about six hundred rooms. I went for a boat ride one night, the water was smooth and still. The palace was all lighted up, you could see everything as plain as day, although the night was dark. When I left Stockholm, I went to Gotenberg, a notable seaport and pleasure resort which lies in the hilly part of Sweden. The buildings were extremely high, being five stories and made of stucco. The windows were opened by pushing them out. They had a great number of beautiful parks in Gotenberg. The streets were narrow and straight. From G-otenberg I went to Seffle, a little town in the hills of central Sweden. Although small, this town has a great deal of trade. The people have automobiles, but think it is nicer to ride in carriages. They dress in clothes of bright colors, which are of the best quality, and the women either wear scarfs or hats all the time. They have stone roads and cement side- walks. Seffle has many boulevards with bright red and blue iiowers on either side of the road. Their houses are mostly made of wood painted white, others also are made of stucco and three stories high. The railroad stations of this city are built of brick and are in best modern style. Their hotels are also famous for their very good meals and their cleanliness. There is a large river which passes this place, so we took a boat to our next stopping place, Khil. Khil is a little village of remarkable beauty. If you want to see the home life of the people, go to the village. The roads are not paved, they have no sidewalks but paths. The houses are either all red or white and one story in height. They are built of boards laid on iiat and have no porches but stoops. They contain about five rooms and always have a brick fire place which is made like a stove. They have no beds, but couches which open like davenports. They have rooms especially for their spinning and sewing. When they sweep their rooms, they get branches of bushes in the Woods and tie them together. They use lamps of various kinds somewhat like ours. The women wear home spun dresses, and they always have scarfs on their heads. They have bright waists and dark skirts, and almost always wear aprons. Their shoes are home made, something like our shoes but heavier. The men wear the same style and grade of clothes as the men do here in the villages. Each little village has a church and school house where the people go. The churches are made of wood and are painted white. They have benches and organs, also their little choirs, which are made up of old people as well as young. All come to church in same style of clothes they wear every day, only of better quality and more carefully made. The schools where the children go are like our country schools only they teach the Bible as one of the sub- jects. It is certainly a picturesque sight to see the children go down the road between the trees on their way to school. Rodlanda, the name given to the farm which I visited, was of considerable size. The house was made of wood and painted white, and it had seventeen rooms. All around the house was an orchard and in the front they had a boule- vard. They had summer houses made of trees, inside of which were benches and tables. They also had cellars away from the house in which they kept milk, potatoes and vegetables. These cellars were shaped like beaver, and the ceiling was made of brick. There was a large hill near by which was covered by a forest where we used to go to pick berries. They are prohibited from cutting it u-',.,v-gcc'-1'-fi,a.'r,: : 1 1. - down their own woods and so preserve the beautiful scenery of Sweden. The people around this farm, whether they knew you or not, would always speak, showing how polite they were. From this place, which was the prettiest place in central Sweden, I went to the land of the midnight sun. ' Omutt, in eastern Norway, is noted for its paper and timber mills. It is situated on a lake, which is as clear as a mirror and very deep. On all sides the mountains rise like perpendicular walls. Here is found some of the wildest and most beautiful scenery of the country. Omutt proves quite a contrast with its fruit fields to the snowy mountains. This town is a famous summer resort for artists, and is much visited by tourists. I left this place for America after a year's visit. I came over on the Cunard line and landed at Boston. I saw the statue of Liberty given by France, and also Ellis Island. After passing through New York, Buffalo, Syracuse and Niagara Falls, I arrived at Bay City and my joyful trip was ended. OLGA BODINE, '1 5. .8 Q9 13 The Bracelet HE little Mrs. Doz. wished for nothing more than a bracelet for her sixth anniversary. She thought that she had earned it honestly for she had a sacrificed so many hours of care to her husband and home, and had taken care of the children. But it seemed otherwise to her husband, he thought a bracelet more than she deserved, for their ten years of married life had not been without sulkiness and quarrels. However that may be, she insisted upon a bracelet, not of silver, but of solid gold, if you please. She wanted a wide bracelet with heavy links. That was expensive and Hippolyte, her husband, sho-ok his head. Some could afford it, but not he. The anniversary was draw- ing near and Hyppolyte had not said that he would do. Mrs. Doz. was on needles. When she went out with him, she would make him stop before all the jewelers' windows. Oh! look at that one, she would sayg the large one, ask the price, will you, dear? That doesn't cost anything. Hippolyte was timid, and timidity increases when one is conscious of a moderate salary. He hesitated, but the pretty Mrs. Doz. urged him on with a covetous glow in her hazel eyes. Go on, they wonit hurt you, she said. And when he reappeared dismayed stammering, They asked five hundred fifty francs, she said with conviction, That is not much. Then she added, You will buy it for me, won't you, dear? You know if you would not buy it for our tenth wedding anniversary, I should be ill and so unhappy I would believe that you did not love me at all any more, I really believe it for you show so little desire to make me happy. - Hippolyte hung his head, for he loved his wife, Fanny, dearly, and accepted her reproaches without saying a word. Indeed he would have liked nothing better than to buy the bracelet, but five hundred and fifty francs was a large sum for a newly married couple. At times he would move his fingers one after the other like a man who was thinking. What are you thinking of, my dear? asked his pretty wife. Are you thinking of giving the bracelet to your pretty little wife? Listen, I was going to have a dress made to please you, a blue one like you always ad- vised. But if you buy me the bracelet, I will go without the dress. That is generous of me, is it not? But he objected timidiy, Why did not you tell me the children's clothing and Loralous' clothes are almost outgrown. They are in no hurry, I will lengthen them, she added. Then like a snail which pulls in his head and horns, Hippolyte withdrew into himself and was not to be coaxed. He thought perplexedly that he would give her so much pleasure, but common sense was stronger. Fanny one morning was walking about the room and said in a grave voice, If I should contribute towards buying the bracelet and you give your part of the money, what would you say? He opened his eyes wide. Oh, I was wrong, she said. This money I have saved penny by penny on the household management, I have scraped ten cents here and two francs there and I had counted on never letting you know, but what can you expect? I am too silly, I see you so down hearted. I am going to give you one hundred francs of my money. It is all I have, don't think I have saved any more. Do you want it? We will buy the bracelet with it. Hippolyte held out his hand, but with such a confidence she proudly declared she would pay the merchant herself. Listen, we will pass the jeweler's this evening when you are leaving your office. And the more I think of it the more that big wonderful bracelet appeals to me. We will go in, and I will try it on just for the fun of it, that doesn't cost anything. That evening they stopped as on the preceding nights in front of the jewelers. Oh! there it is, cried Fanny, Look at it, it is really very beautiful. How it does sparkle! Let's go in, only you must not buy it, you must not say anything, you must let me bargain for it. They sauntered into the store, Mrs. Doz. had the bracelet shown her--put it on her arm-looked at it lovinglyfweighed it in her hands-rubbed its smooth surface, and made it sparkle and glisten with such an air that even the fat bald headed jeweler himself yielded to the charms of the little woman and smiled in his best manner. She knew well enough to profit by her charms and asked, How much is this bracelet, monsieur? Four hundred francs? Five hundred fifty, he said with an insinuating sweetness. 'tThat is too expensive, she said. He smiled, and turned upon her a meaning glance, 'tI'll lose money in selling it so cheap, but for you -his manner was as sweet as sugar, it will be five hun- dred forty. You know it is a beautiful piece of work and so becoming to you. She looked perplexed at Hippolyte, Hlt is still too expensive, isn't it, she asked in wheedling voice with a crafty hypocrisy in her voice. It-is-a-a-little too expensive-yes-, murmured her husband, but if you want it very much-J' He had the resigned and sad expression of a man who is thinking to himself. It would not give me a particle of pleasure to have an armlet of gold. Then she said in a decided manner, I'll take it. Pay for it, dear. He drew out of his pocketbook and looked at her- Oh, that's right, you have not enough. She took out of her pocket, slowly and with a half unwilling ex- pression, a little pocketbook, and took out one hundred francs. There, she said with a sigh while she looked at the bracelet which certainly made a pretty effect on her arm. As soon as they were outside, he said, Well, are you satisfied? Oh! my dear, she cried vehemently, You are so good, I would kiss you if we were not on the street. She stopped a few minutes later under an electric light, and examined the bracelet. It is funny, she cried, . I thought it was larger. Are you sure it's the same one We saw last night'?i' Why, certainly, my dear, he said. Oh! it is very beautiful, she said. Five minutes later she stopped again to see if the clasp fastened well. I hope it is solid, she said with a little pout. At dinner she asked, Really, does it seem so beautiful to yon? Why, yes, don't you like it? Oh, yes, I am so happy, only I thought it was a little larger, and she added with a iire of new desire in her eyes, Do you know what I want for our next anniversary ten years from now? I Want a ring with a rare diamond and a pearl as large as a pea in the middle. A short silence followed, and she added-and this is a truly feminine re- mark- It is so much fun, to want something. CTranslation from French.J FLORENCE MANNING, '13. 1-1 -Hw- Courting Under Difficulties HERE happened to live in Jamestown, a woman known to all the town folk as Widow Perkins. She was middle aged and had a young son. She was tall and angular and very active. She had a long, narrowtface, and a longer nose. Her head was always held high and she had a tongue that would better have been the vibrating key of an organ, than the speaking part of a woman. To all who were opposed to her or to those whom she' unreasonably disliked she gave peppery speeches with unceasing energy. There lived in the same village a widower. He was known as a meek and quiet man who always attended to his own business. He had a small farm, and was generally supposed to have money. He had been in the neighborhood quite a while, in fact, since before the death of his wife. His desire for a second wife was well known to everybody in the village, and Whenever he was present at the village store, he was greeted by the question: Well, Parsons when's the marriage coming off? Heard you're going to marry Widdy Per- kins. Parsons took it all in good humor as most men do. However, Widower Parsons had decided that he must get married pretty quick or all the birds would have flown. So one day he decided to visit Widow Perkins, and putting on his broadcloth and new boots and his white shirt with the big red tie as a set off, he took his plug hat and started on his way. When Widow Perkins saw Widower Parsons coming down the road she looked as mad as a hornet and as fierce as a panther and stepped to the back door. William Henry, she called to the lank youth chopping Wood, You've worked hard enough for one day, come in and rest. William Henry was so dumbfounded that he dropped his axe. Guess that's the first time you ever thought I needed a rest since I was born. I'll keep right on choppin' wood till you git through acceptin' old Hall, he re- plied, whereat the widow slammed the door and looked twice as mad and twice as fierce as before. Mornin', Widdy, remarked the widower, stalking into the room, taking a chair without an invitation, and hanging his hat on his knee. Cold day, he added cheerfully. The widow nodded shortly, at the same time inwardly prophesizing a still colder day for him before he struck the weather again. Been buying a new cow, resumed the caller, impressively. 'tHave, eh? returned the widow with a jerk bringing out the ironing boa1'd and slamming it on the tablep He wished the widow would glance at him and see how affectionate he looked. They'll be pork enough for all next winter and spring. Will, eh? questioned the widow, with a bang of her i1'on that nearly rocked the table. Have some hay and grain that's the best in the neighborhood, said the widower, and I can get the best price ever sot by this village here. Can, eh? responded the widow and at the same time turned around so quickly that she stepped on the tail of the cat which started off with a howl. An' I'm doin' lot o' odd things 'round the house and Widdy you see-e that is you know-I was goin' to say if you'll agree, -here the widower lost track of his words, and in his desperation hung his hat on the other knee and hitched a triiie nearer the ironing board. No, Hull Parsons, I don't see a single mite, nor I don't know a particle, an' I ain't agreein' the least bit, snapped the widow, and worked away im- patiently ironing the creases out of the tablecloth. But say, Widdy, don't get riled so soon, again ventured the widower, I was just goin' to tell you that I've been proposing to Carpenter Brown to build a new- At this point the widow was looking at him in a way he wished she would not. - Is that all the proposin' you've did in the last live months, Hull Parsons? she demanded stormily. You ain't asked every old maid for miles around to marry you, Hull Parsons? And you didn't tell the last one you proposed to that if she didn't take you there would be only one more chance left+that old lun aj, . -S pepper box of'a VVidow Perkins? You didn't say that, now did you, Hull Parsons? and the widow's eyes and voice snapped fire all at once. The caller turned several different shades of red as he realized that he had struck the biggest snag he'd ever struck in any courting he had done, past or present. He laughed violently for a second or two, ran his hand through his hair, pulled his necktie, and tried to hang his hat on both knees at once, and finally lowering his voice to a confidential tone, he said: Now, Widdy, that's the Woman's way 0' puttin' it, you see. They've been jealous o' you all long, fur they knew where my mind wassot. I wouldn't married one o' them women for nothin, added the widower, with another hitch towards the ironing board. Huh! responded the widow, losing some of her anger. Spose all them women hadn't refused you, Hull Parsons, what then? They didn't refuse me, widdy, returned the widower trying to look sheepish, and dropping his voice an octave lower. Spose I hadn't oughter tell on 'em, but-er-can you keep a secret, widdy? Well, I ain't like the woman who can't, replied the widow shortly. Well, then I was the one who did the refusing-the hull gang went fer me right heavy, guess 'cause 'twas leap year, or thay was tryin' on me some o' their new women's ways, or somethin' like that. But my mind was so sot all along, ye see, widdy? And the Widow Perkins invited the Widower Parsons to stay to dinner because she thought she saw, AMMI KING. .3 .99 al May Day INTER is overg Nature has awakened and shines forth in fresh green, everywhere sounds the song of gay birds, paths and roads are again pass- able: May has come. No time is greeted so joyously as is May by the Germans who keep in very close touch with nature. They give expression to their joy in various amuse- ments, usages, and customs, which we find very much alike in all districts of Germany, and which, even today, live on and stir the hearts of the people as they stirred them in the early Middle Ages. One does not always find them occurring on the first of May. They have been connected, under the influence of the church, with a church feast-Whitsunday, which has, consequently, in many parts of the country, come to be a popular festival in the open air, the ecclesiastical nature of which is forgotten altogether. The most common of the May day customs is the bringing in and setting up of the May trees, a cus- tom which we find everywhere in the thirteenth century. On the first of May, or on Whitsunday, the members of a parish, the citizens of a city, or the mem- bers of a guild march into the woods to find May. Here they pull up young trees, mostly birchor hemlock, carry them home and plant them in front of the house or the stable. Frequently the May trees are carried from house to house with the singing of songs. The carriers, the so-called servants of May or Whitsuntide, ask for gifts such as sausage, bacon, eggs and the like in the different homes. In many parts of the country the young fellows set up the trees for the maidens. The devotion of the nation to the sense of honor and right comes to view here: a maiden who shows lickleness in love, or has been unchaste, or quarrelsome has a straw man or a dry tree set up before her door. This punishment for misconduct which is 'connected with the May tree, is found only among the Germans while the setting up of the May tree can also be found among the Latins and West Slavic people. Besides these May trees which are to this day brought by the traders to the city, and which are set up in front of the houses on Whitsunday eve, there is also, in many places in Germany, the large May tree, the village May pole. Here we have a real German custom. It also is, as a rule, a birch or hemlock, only an especially large one is chosen for this purpose. By common consent of the whole parish, it is brought out of the woods and placed in the center of the village or in the market place of the city. The tree must be carefully guarded since the neighboring village seeks to carry it away. If they succeed in this, then it must be redeemed and then be brought back in solemn proces- sion. Almost always this tree is robbed of its branches, only it retains its top. ln these upper branches, ribbons, handkerchiefs, cakes, sausages, and other things are hung which the boys try to get down by climbing the tree. Around the Maytree a festal dance is also performed, in which no maiden of doubtful character is allowed to participate. Frequently this dance takes place under the village linden. In many districts of Germany, the May king plays a prominent part on Whitsunday. He is generally chosen by the Village youths or by the young men from out of their own circle, he is covered with fresh green, or dry foliage and is brought in solemn procession to the village. At his side stand the different servants of the king. Two of the most prominent young fellows in stately garb with white staffs lead the procession, music accompanies them. So they march into the village where they halt at the appointed place or before the village inn, During the procession, gifts have been everywhere collected for the king, which consist mostly of fruits, eggs, and mealp There are con- sumed in the evening by those present, for here, too, a dance and a banquet end the festivities. Besides the Mayking, the German people also have a Mayqueen. VVhile the customs which prevail in connection with the Mayking are somewhat coarse the delicate poetry of the German people is seen in the processions of the May queen. The maidens choose out of their midst the most beautiful one to be the queen, they adorn her with flowers and carry her through the streets of the village as they sing. Before every house they stop, the maidens form a circle around the queen, sing time-honored songs, and receive gifts. So the whole day passes with singing and music. In other localities, the Mayking and May- queen appear together, they are then called the bridal couple, and are con- ducted likewise in festive processions through the village. The Mayking who has been chosen by the young fellows, chooses his lviayqueen to whom he must devote himself for a whole year. Then in solemn assembly, the other marriage- able maidens are given away to honorable youths. Each one has to provide for his maiden the whole year, he has to take her to and bring her back from all fastivities. That is the cucstom everywhere in Thuringia, Hessen, West- phalia, and in the Rhine country. There is another custom according to which the maidens are united for a year with the boys who are the biggest bidders around the glowing May fire. ln the evening a dance takes place under a linden, the funds raised at the auction just mentioned are spent in drink. The maiden can refuse her purchaser during the first dance by means of a curtsy, but if she fastens a flower on his hat, she accepts him for the year. Here, too, much is made of the honor and purity of youths and maidens. The least stain on their honor excludes them from the festivities. This the German people even in their days of rejoicing never forget what they owe to their time honored chastity. fTranslated from German.l MARGARET MOLYNEAUX. 'U v. A Letter from Germany Regina-Palast-Hotel, Maximiliansplatz, Munchen, July 23, 1912. My dear Folks all:- We have just arrived in Munchen and we are in a hotel that is really a Palast. Now the news since I wrote on Sunday. We did not go out that evening tSunday, July 213, because it rai11ed so hard. This gave us a chance to rest and write some. The next morning we left Mannheim at 9:12 for Heidelberg where we were to stay until one o'clock. This gave us a chance to see the old town of Heidelberg with its old castle ruins in particular. We took the street car from the station and after a while transferred to a. cog wheel car. This is built in the form of a stairway and is meant for carrying people up hills. At the top of the hill we got out and walked through the Schloss garden. Most of this is fallen down in ruins. In other places there are only the walls left. Again some parts are still unbroken. This is all covered with ivy and looks like a beautiful picture. The walls are very lovely and there could be no better place in the world to go for a walk. At one side there is a platform, and from this we looked down on the city as it lay on the bank of the Neckar River. There is a song: Alt Heidelberg du feine Du Stadt on Ehren reich, Vom Neckar und vom Rheine Kein andre ist dir gleichf' We think we would like to spend a long time here. At one o'clock on Monday we left Heidelberg for Nurnberg, the city famous for the cheapest toys and for the sweetest Lebkuchen. When we saw this town We thought we were living no more in the year 1912 but far back in 1200 or so. This is due to the fact that there are so many houses and churches still standing and in use that were built at that time. ln the early days, when one city was always at war with another, the cities had to protect themselves by walls and towers. Here in Nurmberg, perhaps one of the three oldest cities in Germany, we still see the wall. It is very thickg I don't know how thick. On this wall at perhaps each of the four corners, were four large watch towers. At different places on the wall there were 365 small towers. Through the wall there were 12 gateways. Then, no doubt, there was a drawbridge teine Zug- brucke.J We still cacn see the moat or ditch that used to be filled with water to still further protect the city. It is old, old, and one feels like staying many days instead of just a little more than half a day. We went to dinner today in a little bit of a place built up against a church, called the Bratwurst Glockle. Here people have come to eat Bratwurst and Sauerkraut for many hundred years. The sausages were just about the size of my little finger. They were very good. In addition, we had buns and beer. We spent most all the morning shopping and were very happy in doing it. Our hotel was a first class one. In fact, they have all been that with the exception of the on in Mannheim. There are always two single beds in our room, and a large marble- top wash stand with two bowls and pitchers. Mirrors galore! We are very well taken care of, indeed.. We get tired occasionally from seeing so many things, but we are learning so much and are so glad to see all we can. We left Nurnberg at 1:24 for Munchen today, and arrived at 4:42. If one wishes to learn the geography of a country, he must travel and see it with his own eyes. I told you in my last letter we had been following the Rhine- the landof grapes and wine. Today we left Nurnberg, the largest hop market in the world. We could see on the railroad trip to Munchen that we would no longer be offeded wine by the waiters who would say to us, Trinken die Damen etwas? All around us were fields of hops in orderly patches. So finally we arrived in Munchen, the land of beer. I am sorry to say that it does not taste very good to me. I still have to shiver when I take a swallow of beer as well as wine. Tonight we go to the Hofbrau for supper. Wednesday, July 24. This is Wednesday. I wrote the last sentence last night. We went tg 9, restaurant, called Hofbrau for supper last night. It was a very large hall and tables filled it entirely. Flowering plants decorated the tables.- For the first time I saw a blue hydrangea. I think mother will know what that is. Before each place was a lare boquet to be worn by us. Mine was red-dark red roses and red carnations with green fern. 'The hall was all paneled in dark oak. On the one side was a large stove of dark tile-Kachelofen. I think there was a smaller one on the other side. On the ceiling were various verses. I remem- ber one as follows: Es haben in diesem Saale vielegegessen, die nie daran gedacht sich beruhmt zu nennen, Im Auslande sind sie eher beruhmt gedacht Worden als zu I-Iause. Ceilings and all is of dark oak. Two large chandeliers lighted the hall. These were in two large circles. First of all we were attracted by the waitresses -we never before have had Women waitresses. They dressed in the Bayerisch costume-colored skirts, a black waist, without sleeves, and a white waist under that fthe black one is called a Mieder.J Around their shoulders was a silk scarf embroidered in some color. Around their necks they wore wide necklaces. The Mieder was decorated with silver chains and coins. They wore little caps on the back of their heads. We had good food-veal roast, potato, salad, lettuce, and of course, beer in jugs tSteinSJ holding a whole quart. We could have lemonade, too. During the supper there was music, singing, and an address of welcome spoken by a young woman. After a While, we went to the hotel, for we were not able to wait until it was over with. The Germans don't mind drawing out their evening concerts until long after midnight, I imagine. This morning CWednesday, July 241, we met at 9:30 in the old Rathaus. This is another interesting building. The floor is of course made of oak and there is no plaster on the walls or ceilings. The ceilings are studded with large brass nails. Here again were two large circular chandeliers. We listened to a speech of welcome by the Oberburgermeister and then .followed a long speech by a man who is famous for his books on schools. For a dessert we had cheese and rye bread. This is very often our dessert. We have coffee only for breakfast. After the dinner, by the way, it is here called Fruhstuck, we went shop- ping. This is such a joy and pleasure. There are so many good and nice things that we can hardly tear ourselves away. Tonight we go to the Rat- skeller for supper. I'll tell you more about that later. U There is one thing, however, that I must not forget. We were told today that a high and unusual honor was to be shown us on the 31st of July. We will be in Cassel then and the Kaiserin will receive us at that time in her palace at Wilhelmshohe. We humble teachers are certainly highly honored. Friday, July 26. Yesterday we had a glorious day. At 8:20 we took the train for Prien, about two hours' ride from Munchen, and transferred to an electric train and then to a boat for a ride on the Chiemsee. On the train, We had a glorious view of the country. For the first time in my life I saw a mountain, the Bayerische Alpen. It was somewhat foggy on the way ou so the mountains were not clear. When we left Prien for Munchen, they were a little clearer, but later on a very heavy thunderstorm came up. We are told that these storms come up very quickly in the mountains. Chiemsee is a beautiful green- watered lake. It is eleven miles long and seven miles broad, and contains three islands, the large Herren-Insel, the Frauen-Insel, the Kraut-Insel. We visited only the Herren-Insel. When we got off the boat we went up a steep walk and passed das Alte Schloss. This used to be the palace of Konig Ludwig II. von Bayern, usually called the insane king. His only Wish in life was to build palaces for his own use, not that anyone else might ever get any good out of them. 'This old palace we did not get to see except from the outside. Here, to my surprise, I saw apple trees trained to climb up against the wall- like grape vines. There were also peach trees trained in the same way. From this old palace we had a walk of twenty minutes along a shady wood-path to the new palace. I have bought pictures of this so you can see for yourselves how very magnificent this is. I have never imagined that anything could be so grand. You see, the king was insane on the subject of palaces, later on all subjects, I think. He drowned himself in 1888, I believe. I have sent a view of the outside. The fountains are no longer running. The king was copying a palace in Paris a nd he was very successful. He built as much of this palace as he had money for and then had to stop, so it will never be completed. He made his people poor by this work. Though incomplete, it is altogether splen- did. He had two other palaces, both of which were equally grand. The scenery around the palaces and the view on the other islands is charming. I must close this letter. Tomorrow -morning at eight we leave for Stutgart. More about that later. Stay well and happy. I will have much to tell you when we come back. This morning we are going to see Munchen more closely. With all love, I remain yours, MATHILDA SCHROEDER. of .3 .3 ' as Scouhng CHAPTER I. 66 OME Paul!

K, This conversation took place in the forests, on the border of 'Ohio and Kentucky, between two noted Indian fighters of the war of 1812. James Carrol, or long Jim, as he was known by many comrades, was a tall, wiry, active man of about twenty-six yearsg fit for long runs, and exciting tramps in the wilderness. He was giving these directions to a lad of eighteen, well built, and of a calm nature, who knew much of Indian Warfare, and was known by the name of Paul Hendricks. They were sent on a scouting expedition, by the commander of the Am- erican forces on the Ohio river, to find out if the Indians were on the war path. It was in the middle of the afternoon when they cautiously stepped into the deep forest, in the disguise of Shawnee Warriors. The country was rolling, with shallow valleys, and creeks, and the early fall sun made a pretty scene, when it managed to find an opening, through the thick foliage. Long Jim, who was leading the way through the forest, suddenly stopped, picked up an eagle feather, and examined it carefully, it did not excite the curiosity of Paul who thought it fell from some flying eagleg and Jim was on the point of explaining the way he thought it came where it was, when sudden- ly, he shoved Paul behind a tree, to conceal them both from the sight of a lurk- ing Indian. But too late, they were seen and the savage gave a war whoop. Jim fired his rifle at the savage, and, with Paul beside him, fled in a direc- tion of safety. Stopping now and then, they listened, and heard footsteps on both sides and behind. They kept up their fight for half an hour, when Jim, glancing at Paul, noticed that he was losing strength, and gave him the direcr tion of his best plan of escape, narrated in the first paragraph. CHAPTER II. HE sun had begun to disappear in the Western horizon, when Jim and Paul parted: and the shadows of evening were rapidly falling, and seemed grateful to Paul, who had turned to his right, and was creeping through the bushes in a southerly direction. He had just taken refuge in some bushes, and was peering out, when he caught sight of an Indian standing still, listening, at the same moment he heard the report of a rifie and knew that Jim was carrying out his plan, and at the same instant the Indian started in the direction of the report. Through the night Paul sat and listened to different noises in the forest, which came in the sound of footsteps, chirps of night birds, and now and then the croak of a frogg but these calls Paul knew were made by the Indians. In the morning he arose and crept to a small stream and having quenched his thirst, proceeded up the flat to a wide stretch of bushes, in hopes of finding at least some overripe or dried berries, to eat with the venison with which he was supplied. After his hasty meal he lay on his back, looking up at the blue sky across whichbirds flitted as free as one could wish to be. The warm morning sun- beams, creeping through the neighboring tree tops, filled him with such a feeling of emotion that he thought he should like getting up and take a run, when another thought came to him, and he wondered, how it was with his faithful companion, who had taken the risk to see that he escaped the clutches of the red skins. The thought of Jim's being captured, did not enter his mind for he had been with him on similar occasions and Jim had seen to itvthat they both es- caped. Would Jim come back for him? He remembered his saying so, and for that he would have to remain in the vicinity. He peered over the bushes to judge how far he was from the place of his parting with Jim, when he caught sight of a party of Indians returning from the east and he knew from their expressions and signs, that they were puzzled over something. He remained in his hiding place till afternoon, and was thinking over plans, when he heard a rustle in the bushes, about a hundred yards behind, he listened, and the noise came nearer. CHAPTER III. Q AUL'S flrst impulse was to lie still until he caught sight of his foe, and then leave the rest to the luck of his rifle. But then other Indians might be near, and the report would bring them down upon him. it did not take him long to decideg turning to his left, he crept slowly among the bushes doing his best to make no noise. He listened, but could make out no sound of pursuit now. Could he have been mistaken by the alarm. He was determined to find out: taking a circling course among the bushes, he came to the place of start- ing, and by carefully looking, found the trail of some human being following his tracks. He took another direction and crept quietly for sometime till he reached a thick clump of bushes in which was an old oaken logg taking refuge behind this, he got his rifle in readiness and waited for his foe to approach. He waited for a long time, and no one came in sight, probably his plan had thrown off pursuit, however, he kept low. But he was mistaken for his eye caught the sight of a dark object in the bushes, looking towards his place of concealment. They had both seen each other, and with their rifles in front of each other, they kept dodging about, each waiting for a good opening. At last Paul saw his chance: taking quick aim he flredg it was a sickening report that followed the recoil: for he knew that he had missed. He was puzzled at his foe's not rushing on him. He began to think fast what he should do, when an idea came to him that Jim might be the one causing the troubleg clearing his throat he gave a faint hoot of an owl. He was answered by two similar calls. He felt that his sus- picions were correct: but he was careful. He repeated it by three calls and got one in return. This was also correetg he waited for no more, but got up and walked toward his late pursuer and was soon lying beside his old com- panlon. Jim, I knew you would come back for me, but how did you escape with such odds against you? Well, Paul, there is not much to tell. I just showed refuge in the bushes. When morning came, I looked up your trail, but I could not make out whether it was yours or some Indians. But here we are together again, and by morning will be back in camp: so turn in and take a short snooze for we will start back when evening comes. CHARLES McROWE, '14. fi Society, 1913 During the past year the social affairs at Western have been financially successful and socially enjoyed. The Juniors took the lead with their supper and dance given October 21, at the Norrington hall. This proved a delightful event. The supper was well attended, and the dancing afterward was enjoyed by about fifty couples. October 31, the friends of the Senior class were entertained at a Hallowe'n dance given in the Coronado hall. Jack O'Lanterns and other characteristic decorations were used. The Jluniors' next attempt was a dancing party, given New Year's eve, which was a success in every way. Another Senior dance, this time at the Washington hall, proved a great success. The music was furnished by Hale's orchestra, and punch was served to about sixty couples. Minor events, given by the Seniors, were sandwich sales, a theater party, and a coffee, given at the home of Abbie Ralston, which proved delightful. The delicious pies with which Mrs. Ralston surprised us will not soon be forgotten. The High School orchestra favored us with a few selections, and all agree it was a big success. The friends of the Senior class spent a pleasant evening in the school auditorium, April 8, when Miss Schroeder entertained them with an illustrated talk on Germany, Miss Schroeder having spent the past summer in Germany, was able to add many personal touches of interest. And the Senior class is indebted to her for one of their financial successes of the year. The last Senior dancing party was given, April 11, in the Coronado hall. The hall was attractively decorated with the class colors, blue and gold. The party was chaperoned by some of the members of the faculty. At the time of writing, two entertainments are in preparation, but we can only prophecy suc- cess for them. - FLORENCE KENNEDY. Events of Commencement Week Saturday, June 14-Senior send-off, Tawas.

Gd 0 W Football At the beginning of the season, prospects for a winning team were not overly bright. The candidates consisting of a few veterans, and enough new men to bring the total up to the number necessary to play. Sometimes as many as Iifteen men reported for practice. Among the men were some who showed exceptional ability along certain lines. For accuracy and distance in passing the ball, Thomas would rank among the best in the state, and it would be hard to find more skilled men than Behrens and Anderson in the art of receiving long passes. The team developed slowly but surely, there being absolutely no com- parison between the eleven individuals who played the first game and the nine that played the last game. A glance at the score book would be enough to convince the most skeptical of the 'wonderful improvement of the team. This improvement is due entirely to the faithfulness of the men in practice, and to the good spirit with which they followed instructions. Some of the best players on the team will be lost through graduation. Men like Thomas, King, Miller and Royal, whose steady, faithful work help to make the football season a success. The back field and the ends will all be back, .and with a nucleus of veterans like Laverty, Nelson, Tyson, Anderson and MacDonald, Western should have a winning team for 1913. L. E., Behrens, L.

A large number of the girls took great interest in it, and the result was a strong team. Our first trouble was in securing a gym in which to practice, but the Y loaned us the use of theirs in return for a sum of money which was raised by candy sales and a musical. Members of the faculty also lent their assistance to the girls, Miss Keating as coach, and Miss Lowrie as business manager, and Mr. Hassett refereeing at almost all of the games. The girls were very glad to get their help, and appreciated having some of the faculty take an interest in their athletics. . Eastern and Western agreed at the beginning of the year to play a practice game once a week. This agreement was lived up to, and Western may well be proud that their team was victorious in practically all the games. Two out-of-town games were played, one at Owosso, and one at Arthur Hill fSaginaw.J At Owosso, the girls lost their first and only game of the sea- son, but succeeded in keeping Owoss0's score down from their usual forty or fifty to the small number of thirteen. As a result of the good work done in all of the games, VVestern claims the championship of Saginaw Valley, basing their claims on the fact that they de- feated Bay City Eastern three times, Arthur Hill fSaginawJ, twice, and that Arthur Hill had been previously defeated by Midland. The only game lost during the entire season was to Owosso, a strong contender for the state cham4 pionship. May Petit was captain elect and forward, and by her well directed free throws, she especially starred in the Arthur Hill CSaginawJ game on the local floor. Marie Kolb, as center, was the strength of the teamg she was very quick, and her enthusiasm helped to win many of the hardest games. ' Eva Sherwood played forward, and it was through her ability to make baskets from the field that the scores were so high at 0wosso and Saginaw. Ellen Law was an all-around good playerg she was,guard the first part of the season, but was changed to side center, where she and Marie Kolb worked together so well. Abbie Ralston played guard and did excellent work: she was always by her opponent's elbow, and she did not allow her to make many baskets. She graduates in 1913, and the team will certainly feel a loss. Annetta Neal also played guard, and her chief quality was in her ability to stick to her man. : The other girls who played basket ball during the season are Ethel Nichols, centerg Lillian Reynolds, side center: Ethel Sherwood and Effie Horne, for- wards. These girls were very faithful in going to practices. The schedule games of the season were as follows: January 17-Eastern, 43 Western, 5. ' January 24-Eastern, 4, Western, 8. ' February 14-Arthur Hill, 43 Western. 7. February 26,-Eastern, 65 Western, 8. February 28-Owosso, 133 Western, 11. March 14-Arthur Hill, 145 Western, 16. Conch Morris Phillips, Neal, Nelson, Royal, Thomas, Anderson. .11 Boys' Basket Ball This year has seen Western high advanced into the front ranks of basket ball, for although not victorious in every game, the majority were won. The school can look back at the best record ever made by a team representing the cowboys. Practice began as soon as the football season was over, 21 men turning out at the first call. After six weeks of steady grinding, Coach Morris picked the iive to represent Western. The team worked hard at every practice, being forced to extend themselves by the second team and worked harder in every game, as some of the teams played were the best in the state. Although out- classed on two occasions, due chiefiy to strange floors and playing outside of High school circles, yet the team put up a game fight and never lacked the spirit necessary to win. ' We had no stars on the team, but we can boast of having five players who worked together every minute. By each one losing sight of individual glory and all playing for the good of the whole, we developed a set of team plays that seldom failed to baffle our opponents, Anderson at center usually out-jumped his man, thus starting the team plays, and this aided greatly by intercepting passes and breaking up the combination plays of our opponents. Thomas had that basket ball instinct which enables him to make up by head work what he lacked in speed. He had a clever way of streaking along the sides of the court to our basket, where he would receive the ball and drop it through. Phillips, though short, seldom allowed his man a basket. His accurate passing and bull dog tenacity makes him a valuable player at forward. Neil was aggressive, good on defense and had a peculiar way of throwingthe ball backward into the basket while at top speed, which could not be blocked by any one of his guards. , Nelson, the speed boy, was all over the fioor like a flash. He could shoot from any position and could always be counted on for several field plays. Royal was a wonder worker, always tending to business and seldom missed the basket when he got an open shot. Coach Morris was always on the job, never missing a practice, and continually urging the players on, never giving up a game until the last whistle blew. Then he would say: Never mind, we'll get them next time. Following the final practice, the team showed their appreciation for the services of Coach Morris, in a very material way, by presenting him with a handsomely engraved gold watch fob. Western's enthusiasm reached its height this season, and the team always played to crowded houses. The deafening yells and continual rooting showed the team that the school was back of it. , Team-Forwards, Neil, Nelson, Royalg center, and Phillips.

Under the direction of Miss Keating, they have been making rapid progress. Practice is held every week and sometimes twice a week, at the homes of the different members. At each practice, two or three hours of good steady work is put in. The first appearance of the orchestra was at a musical at the Presbyterian church. The orchestra has also furnished music for the musical given by the basket ball girls, at the High schoolg the Christmas exercises at the Presby- terian church: at the installation of officers of the Maccabees, at the Masonic templeg the Christmas exercises of the German class, at the High school, a reception at the Y. M. C. A., a coffee given by the Seniors, at Ralston's, and at Miss Schroeder's lecture on Germany. The following are the members of the orchestra: Pianists, Gertrude Davis and Leone Thompsong first violinists, Miss Keating, Mae Pettit, Clarence Shaver: second violinist, Ammi King, mandolin, Alison Armstrong: cornetist, Walter Andersong drummer, Herbert Anderson. Editorial NOTHER year has rolled by, another class is about to graduate from the good old Western High School, and, once again, the Occident is going to press. Pausing for a moment in the midst of his many activities, the Senior says somewhat sorrowfully How time flies. A trite expression! Yet back of it is the memory of all that has happened, all that has been done in these last four years. Once upon a time, we were little freshmen-but that is such a worn-out subject! Yet suffice it to say that now, after the course of time, we wear our hair in wonderful Psyche Knots, or doff beautiful new derbies to passing lady-loves. We are grown up, and it means that high school days will soon be over, that in only a few more weeks we shall joyfully grasp our diplomas and then, one and all, scatter far and wide. But it does not mean that we shall ever cease to' remember what the high school, what our teachers, what our classmates have done'for us. The routine work, the discipline, the intermingling with our fellow students, have, in all probability, done us more good than what we have learned from our text books. So, let us one and all, give three cheers for the Western High School. The Senior class before undertaking the publication of this Annual were advised to consider it well, for it meant hard work, and plenty of it. However, the class of 1913, may it be said, without undue praise, is not one to back down on such a proposition, and so when you see its pages before you, kindly remember we have done our best. And, now, since advise is a cheap commodity, the editor would like to give a few hints to that Junior who will officiate next year in the same capacity. In the first place, don't tell anybody your troubles and your mistakes. You Will not get any more sympathy in the former, and the latter is much better kept hidden. Again, don't try to do the bidding of everybody. Just listen and use your own judgment. Perhaps you have heard the story of' the man and the donkey. 1t's appropriate here. Above all, if you want a thing done, let it be known a month before hand and every day during the month, Even then, don't expect to have it accomplished before the week following. Here's to the success of the next year's Senior Annual. Once more the business men have stood by us royally in the publication of the Senior Annual of the Occident, and once more we extend our thanks to them for their kindness and urge that their good will may be reciprocatedg for it should be understood that the Annual no way pays the necessary expense of publication. The Senior class also wish to extend their thanks to the members of the faculty for their assistance in trying to make this Annual a success. A MANUAL TRAINING. The Nlanual 'l1l'2liI'li11g Hepa rt ment F WE but trace the history of manual train- ing in the liay City Public Schools. we will find that it was introduced into the carricu- lum of Eastern High school in the year --. A little later a course in mechanical drawing was installed in the seventh and eighth grades, being taught by the grade teachers under the super-- vision of the east side manual training instruc- tor. In 15908, a mechanical drawing class was organized for the students of Western High school, This class met two afternoons a week in the Eastern High school drafting room. Owing to the enthusiasm shown by the hoys from Western, it was deemed advisable by the school board, to provide means for a complete course in manual training for Western high. In 1910, a room was fitted up in the basement at Western, and equipment for classes in mechan- ical drawing and shopwork purchased. One year later another room was opened and equip- ment for instruction in wood turning provided, The carpentry shop equipment includes twenty-two benches, each with a complete set of general woodworking tools, such as saw, hammer, chisels, gauge. square and planes. In addition to the general bench tools, there are many special tools needed in the construction of furniture which are for the use of the entire class. The wood turning room, which is in another part of the base- ment, is equipped with ten speed lathes, a band saw, and a circular saw, all being driven with a ten-horse power motor. When the lathe room was fitted up, the work of laying concrete foundations and the installation of the machinery was all done hy the class of the previous year which had received instruction in carpentry. By doing this work, the boys received a first hand knowledge of the machines. methods of lining up shafts, and working out best means of power transmition. Let us turn from the consideration ot' equipment to the various courses offered in the department. The working time of ten hours per week is divided between the mechanical drawing and the shop work. Two days a week are spent on drawing, the carpentry shop being used as a drafting room on those two days: and the remaining three days are spent in the lathe room or car- penter shop, Let us consider the course in shop work, dividing it into four semesters' work. During the first semester the pupil acquires a working knowledge of the different woodworking tools at his disposal. In order to hasten this elementary work, a short course in joinery is introduced which deals with the different forms of constructions and wood fastenings which will be encountered later on in the building of furniture. As the different types are studied, supplementary models are introduced which involve these forms of joints or fastenings in its construction. During the first semester the whole class works on these sug- gested models which best show the different forms of construction. In the work ot' the second semester, the pupils are thrown on their own resources, and are required to make their own designs and work out their own plans for small pieces of furniture, such as foot stools, tabourets, tables and chairs. In the study of harmonious lines, satisfying proportions, as well as in good construction, the pupil becomes better able to appreciate the true meaning of the artistic. The pupil is made to see that it is the simple rather than the elaborate, the plain rather than the gaudy, which is conducive to good design. In the third semester the student spends his shop periods in the wood turning room. In this, as in the bench work, he must make a study of the lathes, tools, and the different cuts used in the art of wood turning. The work in wood turning is based upon the theory that any object which may be turned in wood can be reproduced by the student when he understands the reason for handling a tool in a particular way for each cut. Because of this fact, a series of exercises are first made which involve all the different cuts used in wood turning. Following the preliminary exercises, mallets, and chisel handles are turned for use in the carpenter shop. Here again the student makes a study of design and proportion in the making of candle sticks, vases, picture frames, jewel boxes, and many other similar projects. During the fourth semester, the student is given access to both shops, making use of the lathes and saws in more advanced furniture design and con- struction. He makes a study of modern shop practices and adepts them to the machinery at his disposal. A special study is made of paneled furniture, the construction of paneled doors, and the assembly of large pieces of furniture, such as buffets, china cabinets and the like. Let us now take up for consideration the mechanical drawing work. As in the shop work, the first of the time must be spent in preliminary, in lettering, instrumental practice, and the theory of projection. The pupils are acquainted with the practices of the best drafting rooms. As far as is found practicable, drawings made in the drafting room are used by the pupils in the shops. In order that the pupil may not become narrowed by always dealing with con- struction in wood, many small drawings are made from formulas. Detail and assembly drawings are made of the machines used in the turning room. During the second year an entirely different class of drawing is taken up. The drawing during this year deals entirely with architectural work. First, the class makes a study of the different types of frame house construction, making drawings of the braced frame and balloon frame styles. Following this drawings are made of window, cornice, and interior details. In connection with the work in ancient history, a study is made of the different orders of architecture and a detail drawing made of some one of the orders. A study is made of room arrangements through the making of many sketches of house plans. One of these arrangements is perfected and drawings made to scale of the floor plans and elevations. When time permits, tracings and blue prints are made from the finished drawings. It is not the aim of the manual training department, in the limited time at its disposal, to turn out finished draftsmen or accomplished apprentices in woodwork, but rather to give the boy a chance to find himself. To find out whether or not he is fitted for the work of the industrial world. With more work of this kind, we will find fewer of the misfits so often found in the trades and occupations of the world. It acquaints the individual with the tools and materials used in industrial processes. It gives him a broader outlook upon industrial conditions, helping him to so organize his individual forces that he may have a mental, moral, and physical control of himself. In short, it does a large part in making of him a more useful, helpful, and efficient citizen. IBO f, . if UG H5 INE x 0 :g:.:o:s:o::,o.:.:.Q.
