'Tis a day we've all been watching As a loadstar in the sky, But we feel a little lonely, V As the days go passing by. For it means that we are leaving, Our dear old Westem High, And so amid our gladness, We are prone to give a sigh. But as our class has worked, To attain an education, We feel the bond of loyalty, Quite free from emulation. Whatever be our calling, Wherever we may go, We'll ne'er forget old Westem, And the friends we used to know. -Luella Anderson. 20 LLL 1t.e....4 .e Clllama Alphabet 16.

FEARNE ISABELLE VVRIGHT Just being happy is a fine thing to do: Looking on the bright side rather than the bl-ue. A gig Same Ahuantagrs nf a Glnllrgr Ehuratinn ',.',Ei6,' HAT are some of the advantages of a college education? They are lx 1 manifold but to me three points stand in prominent place: 111 As tx i the young man or young woman just entering the higher institution, In it 3 for the first time in his life Ends himself removed from the fostering Mgt FQ, influences of the home, a college career offers opportunity for a more giadual transition from the life of dependence on others to that of self-dependence. Q25 The associations formed in the higher schools are more than likely to make for one's practical advancement. 133 College life af- fords opportunity for the broadening influence of a new social environment. The three points mentioned do not take into consideration the benefits derived in the way of character building. mental diwipline and others of equal or even greater importance, but they are, nevertheless, items of no secondary importance. The student who enters the business world directly from high school has sud- denly thrust upon him the responsibility of self-dependence. Mother no longer tucks the covers and father's stern but hurried commands no longer guide him in paths where ripe experience points the way. Today he is dependent upon the wis- dom and judgment developed through years of practical experience: tomorrow he must depend upon himself. The abrupt change, it is obvious, has decided disad- vantages. -- On the other hand, the student who enters the higher institution finds that though the home no longer ministers its kindly services, the college substitutes many of its fostering infiuences and paternal ministrations. If we may risk the indulgence of a thread-bare figure and compare life to a voyage, the college ls the quiet recess lying between the home from which the young man casts his moorings and the more boisterous sea. Through these four years of more or less independent life. he must learn at least in some degree, to go it alone. VVhatever and wherever one's business, it is well to have a few friends out of town. Harvard University friends made Roosevelt governor of New York. and that gave him the presidency. De Pauw University friends made Albert Beveridge United States senator, and Marshall Field, to use his own words, made his millions through his friends out of town. Ten years after his graduation from college the friends one makes in his Alma Mater will: be doing things in other communities. and whether his business is poli- tics, medicine, law, merchandise or what not, the industrial inter-dependence of the times makes necessary a few friends out of town. The young man who has never been away from home is, for reasons too obvious to mention, very likely to believe pretty earnestly that the University was created and is operated and maintained for the glorifi- and editl-cation of himself. That is a most unfortunate conviction for any youth to be encumbered with, for the world has some theories of its own on that score, and is more than likely to make junk of any young man who persists in the belief that he has an undisputed title at all times and under all circumstances to the right of way. Ex-President Taft tells a good story of a fond mother who accompanied her young hopeful to a boys' private school. On entering the office the good mother said to the principal: Now Willie is a good boy and we desire that you deal gently with him. We never beat him except in self-defense. That it was a good thing for William to get into a different social environment is evident. The home too often neg!-ects to take into account the fact that there are cer- tain social rights that must be respected. Here the influence of college or university life counts effectively. The boy learns in the social laboratory of the college that there are others. FRANK A. GAUSE. 37 Qiztnrg uf the Qllann nf 1915 LASS '16, one September day, found itself all huddled together in one N corner of the session room listening in awe to Mr. Hunter and Miss I, Schroeder explaining the subjects Freshmen were allowed to take. 'I English and Algebra being required, our choice was limited and it did 'f o not take us long to decide. As Freshmen. we did not organize. VVe kept up a good standard and devoted much time to our studies. lu' ', wr 'S 54fE.. MNi7- 5 ii, ffl Qi' After making for ourselves a good record in our first year, we entered the Sophomore class, and at our first class meeting elected officers as follows: Presi- dent, Nelson Gilbert: Vice-President, Hattie VVilder: Secretary and Treasurer, Harold Bement. On May lst we undertook to present a May Day program, it being the first of its kind ever presented at YVestern. It was a great success and we hope that the plcsentation' of the May Day program by the Sophomore class will' become an es- tablished custom. On becoming Juniors the first thing we did was to elect new class officers which were as follows: President, Clinton Bristolg Vice-President, Annetta Neal: Secretary and Treasurer, Clarence Shaver. Next we began our campaign for raising funds for the Senior send-off. The first thing we did was to give a Junior supper and hop, which was a social as well as a financial success. Nei-rt we gave a carnival. This was something new and different and proved a success, besides adding a few more dollars to our treasury. Then last, but not least, came our play, which was entitled, Mrs. Briggs of the Poultry Yard. It was a scream from be- ginning to end and was enjoyed by all. We then ended up the school year by giv- ing the Senior send-off at Linwood. Last fa,!'1 we assumed the position and duties of dignified Seniors, and to our great disappointment we had double sessions. We elected class officers once more. This time with Clarence Shaver as president, Clinton Bristol as vice-president, and Homer Nichols as secretary and treasurer. We next proceeded to ask for Senior privileges but in vain. U At the beginning of the football season the Senior girls, under the direction of Miss McKinney, proceeded to raise money by selling red-hots and crackerjack at the games and by various other methods, in order to purchase and present to the school blankets for the football team. In February the girls gave a musicale in the High School auditorium at which they took in enough money to finish paying for the blankets. The next most important event was the giving of the Senior plays at Eastern High School auditorium. Instead of one three-act play, we gave three one-act plays, entitled Tea Cups, The Mousetrap, and Quits. The experiment proved to he a grand success. VVO have now come to the end of our career as a. class. We will no longer hear the musical voices of the teachers as they question us on our lessons, or cal-l us down. No longer will we hear the soft buzz of the paper wad as it joyously travels through space, or enjoy the intoxication of seeing the victim squirm. It is like leav- ing home: we do' not realize how much We really like it until we leave. - -CHRONOLOGICAL COMMITTEE. 38 K Vx , Qllaan Sung Bl I.

The spring declamatory contest displayed an interesting amount of ability and was won by Irene McLean, 1916. The following fall brought its organized class spirit, and officials who were: Reginald Crooks, president, Irene McLean, vice-president, and Helen Nickel secre- tary and treasurer. The following spring's declamaotry contest exhibited increasing talent, the winner, Dorothy Millar, 1917, winning' also the district contest. The Sophomore May day was observed with its artistic display of the class colors, green and gold, and all sorts of spring flowers. The next fall our class ofllcials were elected with the following array: Floyd Beutel, presidentg Hazen Hershey, vice-presidentg Matilda Pratt, secretary, and Helen Nickel, treasurer. The annual Junior supper and hop was given and scored a tremendous success. The affair was enjoyed by about one hundred couples. VVe are busy in preparation for the spritely send-off we are to give the Seniors June 17th at Tawas beach. 'We have been. as a class, very successful, both financially and socially.

How, if I should confine myself to what VVebster defines as history, L can I tell you the story of our class? How can I tell it, if I may not relate the facts and events of each year singly 'I The events of the first year in which we were known as a class of Vifestern High are as dif- ferent from those of the second as earth is different from water. How can I tell it, if I may not tell the record of an individual? Our ideals and aims, our very life, as a class, are but expressions of each individual's ambition. Then, how shall I tell our history? W'hen, as Freshmen, we first came to Western, we had magnificent ideas in which life at high school was a great awesome sceine of all work and no play. WVe forgot that work and no play makes Johnny a duill boy, or Susie a very dull girl. Perhaps that is why we ranked so high in scholanly pursuits: or perhaps only our natural ability wus the cause of our high averages in studies-a View I hope you are magnanimous enough to take. It took fully a month for the happy atmosphere of NVestern to overcome our inert love of play. Then the class of '18 sent many recruits to be armed twith athletic toggeryl, drilled, and trained. Among those are many of our school's most prominent athletes. The only achievement of any note which occurred during that first year was our victory at the Field Day sports, in which selveral Freshmen taided by a few Seniorsb won the school cup. X Last September, as soon as school began, we organized, and as an organization we determined to edit the Sophomore paper, Odds and Ends. Committees were chosen, and work progressed steadily, until we were soon able to announce the com- pletion of the paper. Everyone was eager to obtain his copy and we promised that on Vvednesday, December 15, they should be purchased. On Monday it was neces- sary that school should be closed because an epidemic of lagrippe touring the city did not forget to visit NVestern. Only the co-operation of the west side merchants, who became distributing agents, and of the students prevented the paper from be- ing' a near-failure. An occurrence of less importance was the Sophomore supper. This was a pleasing social affztil' in which we were alll glad to participate. As a closing event of this school term, the class observed May Day with ex- ercises in the school auditorium. P ,Soon we will no longer be known as Sophpmores. But the spirit we have shown in all our enterprises must characterize your class during both the Junior and Senior years, MYRTLE SCHOMAKER. l 48 l ' 1 1 . o 0 ooo Q! 49 pour ii cmmp.

We shall leave Western With sorrow in our hearts, for in the past four years the faculty and the pleasant friendships we have formed have come to mean a great deal to us. Some of us have the pleasant anticipation of attending college while others of us must immediately enter the business world, but no matter which we do, we will do it the better because of the excellent train- ing we have received at the hands of the faculty. And so we, the Senior Class of '16, wish to take this time to express our sincerest appreciation to the faculty for the high ideals and alms they have instilled in our minds and which will help to make us nobler men and women. .ioi The staff wishes to express its appreciation to Miss McKinney, Mr. Garlock and t.he faculty as :L whole, who, with their assistance and interest shown, have made the publication of this Annual possible. .-.ioi The Senior class wishes to thank Clarence Crump and Garry Ensing for the clever drawings they have contributed. ,-.-.oi VVe wish to extend our thanks to the business men who have stood loyally by us in the publication of this book. and we urge that the student body of YVestern will stand loyally by them. .401 The editor wishes to thank the Senior class for the hearty support they have given in the publication of this Annual. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. 51 CRUAP ls,-.A 5- FTER school opened in the fall the various classes were not long in or- , q ganizing and electing officers. The Seniors were first to organize and were closely followed by the Juniors and Sophomores. For the first Mr. Perkins' enthusiasm. The boys interested in work along wireless lines in October formed a club called the VVestern Radio Club. This club is under the di- rection of Mr. Crawford and has proved a tremendous success. Last fall a debating club was also created for the benefit of boys. This club has held various debates which have created much interest in the school and has proved to be a great help to the boys along that line. The girls, just as full of spirit and enthusiasm as the boys, formed a Dramatic club which has proved successful in every way. It is under the direction of Miss Bothe and Miss Merrill, who have made the work very interesting with the splen- did programs they have rendered at each of the meetings. A very pleasing variation in our Weekly routine of school Work was our general assemblies held on the Thursday of each Week. On this morning the whole student body took part in the school songs and then we were generally rendered a short talk by some one of interest to the whole school. Once a month we were favored with selections from cultured musicians. hTe first of these occurred on September 30, when Miss Gillies, of Flint, gave us a harp and song recital. On October 21, Miss Kometh sang several selections, while on November 18. Mr. Copeland favored us likewise. On March 2, Eric Gebessler displayed to us his great talent on the violin. Then la.st, but not least, Mr. Courtright's vocal recital which was made more interesting by his brief sketch of the course of study which he took up while in Germany. The first social function of the year was the Junior supper and hop, Which was given October 23, and which proved to be a great success, as usual. Having had'a very successful football team last fall which showed great cour- age and grit, the business men of the west side thought they deserved some sort of a treat and accordingly on the eighth of December they banqueted the fellows royally at the Wenonah hotel. It was not only the business men, however, who displayed their appreciation of the boys' earnest endeavors, but a'so the Home Economics Girls, who gave them a banquet on December 15. On January 10 the dignified Seniors observed Freak day. and dropped their dignity and went back to their childhood days. A very pleasing program was rendered in which all Seniors took part, making it a general success. The Senior girls. after having decided to present the football team with blan- kets, gave a musicale February 4th in the auditorium of the school. There was a large attendance and the girls made enough money to pay for the blankets. VVith the aid of the girls' physics class the Wireless Club made a success of their Electrical Carnical, which was given February 18th. Innumerable electrical ap- pliances were run in the different rooms and proved of great interest to all the spectators. At the close of the carnival a one-act farce entitled A Close Shave , was enacted by the boys, and music was rendered by the Physics Sympathy 'Z fit A3N ! ll ij time in our school history the Freshman c'ass was organized, due to ll' 'l Orchestra. In March the Seniors decided to give a play and Mr. Perkins thought it ad- visable to give tree one-act plays instead of one three-act play. The plays were as follows: T EA CUPS. Cast. Professor Paulding, recently gone over to a belief in theosophy. . . Pamela Paulding, Professors sister ................................ Nellie Paulding, Professor's daughter . ..

The picture was a very beau- tiful gift and was very much appreciated by the whole school. The play, Esmeralda, has been chosen for our Class day play, and it is hoped that under te direction of Miss Bishop. it will prove as great a. success as the pre- vious plays. FEARNE VVRIGHT. '16.

In no time, its members are here and there and everywhere: ,and he who would reach the individual students does so with great difficulty, if at all. This is true also, though in a very much smaller degree, of the faculty, In view of the above, I beg the Class of '16 for the privilege of making use of the Senior Annual to express my thanks to the Class of '15 and to the Faculty of that year for the gift they bestowed on me. The mahogany desk and its furnish- ings will be a constant reminder of the kindly spirit of friendship that prompted the gift. May the coming years have only good things in their keeping for the Faculty and the Classes of 1915 and 1916. Yours sincerely, MATHILDA SCHROEDER. 1912 Carl Allman .... Chemical YVorks, City.

It is said to be the first time in the history of the organization that a sin le school has at one time pos- sessed three out of four cups. V Western's record in the realm of athletics would be remarkable under any circumstances, but particularly is it so by reason bf the unusual handicaps which it has encountered through the school attendancel There have been times when it has looked well nigh impossible to muster enough men to make up a team. Notable among these instances was the case of last fall when in several of the important games a. bare eleven men were availab e for them. So severe was the handicap in this respect that the team was at tim s crippled through the physical condition of the p'ayers as a result of previous injtiries. The unusual records made by the teams are due principally to the coach. VV. WV. Morris. His success in turning out a winning aggregation in the face of what early each season looked like insuperable obstacles has arrested attention through- out the state. Starting the season with green players for the most part, he has coached the fresh timber in a manner that has ,resulted not only in a. thorough knowledge of the game on the part of the athlete, but in many cases has uncovered talent that has attracted wide attention. Some o these players have gained ath- letic honors elsewhere, but there are still some in, school. l One example is Toutzxnt, who playing his first game of football last fall. was unanimously chosen All-Valley football center and who was spoken of by some as a candidate for all-state center. Another who is still in school is Pacynski, the all-valley choice for end and a candidate for all-valley basketball honors. Nickols, a member of the school, was easily all-valley center last year. Lefler, a lineman on last fall's football team. was elected to the all-valley football team and men- tioned outside of Bay City as an all-state candidate. Shaver, another man in school, who played On the football team, was alsoi on the all-valley team and men- tioned as a. candidate for all-state tackle. There are other instances now in school of Mr. Morris' success. Never has the athletic ability of VVestern been at the high standard that it is at present, many west siders attribute the fact fto -Mr. Morris. He commands the respect of every boy who has ever been under his tuition and to this circumstance many fol-lowers of the school point as an explanation of the success of the teams. 62 I BASKETBALL Basketball Starting the season with Pittsley, Hershey, Pacynski and Nickols, the four veterans of last year's championship team, everyone in the valley thought we would again win the championship. Owing to the fact, however. that We lost the two hard-fought games to Eastern and one to Flint, we were eliminated from win- ning the championship. ' Mr. Morris. who is the best coach in the Saginaw valley, with the help of his four veterans of last year and plenty of raw material, succeeded in rounding out a good team in a short time. New uniforms were purchased this year and they were well worth working for. This year for the first time, every team in the val- ley had to play all the other teams two games, and the one with the highest per eentage of games won would win the championship. This method proved much bet- ter than the one of last year. A Vve started the season with two preliminary games, one with St. Louis and one with Midland, in both these games we easily defeated the opposing team by a large score. In these games Shaver and Vvoods, two new players, were given a try out and both came up to the standard. A week later we played our lirst valley game with Saginaw Eastern and won the game by a 'arge score. Saginaw only scored two field baskets, which shows the ability of our two guards, Hershey and l'ittsley. This game did us a lot of good because we were now even with Saginaw for beating us last year in football. The next game was with Eastern and as they were the visitors all the door receipts went to Western. The gallery was packed with about four hundred people and intense rivalry was shown between the two schools. Throughout the Hrst and part of the second half the game was close an-d in doubt all the time, but the last part of the second half Eastern start- ed to rally and ended up by winning the game. VVe next played Grand Rapids Vnion, a contender for the state championship, and won by a close score. In this game Toutant played center for the first time and did remarkably Well. While Nic-kols played forward. This was Nickols' last game. he being ineligible on ac- count of the new eight semester rule. The game at Flint a week later Was won by Flint by three points. This was not so bad considering that the referee favored Flint. VVe won from Arthur Hill a week later in a close game. This time Soder- Stronl, who had just entered school. played his first game, and did himself justice. lNe easily beat Saginaw Eastern again at Saginaw with the aid of about one hundred routers, who accompanied the team. The next game with Eastern we were the visitors and Eastern received all the door receipts. In this game VVestern was again defeated by a close margin of four points and were practically eliminated from getting the championship. With 1'ittsley in quarantine and Lefler ill and Toutant with a sprained ankle, VVestern was defeated in Grand Rapids by a C'-use score. At the next game with Flint we de- termined to have revenge and did so by defeating them by a large score. The re- maining games with Arthur Hill and Midland were easily won, and thus our bas- ketball career ended. Eastern. by losing only two games won the valley championship and VVestern received second place. Pittslcy and Pacynski were our mainstays on the team, however, the rest of the team also did fine work. Pacynski is one of the best for- wards in the valley and always plays a hard, consistent game. Plttsley, one of the all-valley guards always plays hard and can keep the best of forwards from throwing baskets. Soderstrom, who just started in high school, did well this year and next year he may prove to be a wonder. The team worked steady and hard, and was always on hand for practice. However, this was partly due to Coach Morris, who was always at hand to coach the team and whose wisdom and ex- perience built up and made the team what it was. f igh t:-, wi? ' -:l.. .., .,,, 'f ,... 64 FOOTBALL K Zllnnilmll t K. For the first time in VVestern's football history an eligible team was played. Usually in the past an ineligible team was played, because of the small number of try outs due to the size of the schooi, Western being the smallest school in the Saginaw valley. This year, however, clue to the large number of try outs and also to the experience of last year's veterans, we were warranted an eligible team. After a short time of practice and rounding out a team, Western opened the season by winning a decisive 42-0 victory over Vassar. From the work of the players in this game the regular team for the remainder of the season was chosen. A week later the team went to Midland, accompanied by over a hundred rooters, and in a hard-fought game defeated them by a score of 19 to 0. The next week the team went to Flint, expecting a hard game, but surprised everyone by winning, 21 to 0. The features of the game were the end running and forward passing by Kaiser and the receiving of the forward pass by Pacynski. A week later Wastern downed Midland again to the tune of 74 to 0. In the next game we easily defeated the ol-der and more experienced team of Flint School for the Deaf by the score of 20 to O. In the second valley game, which was with Arthur Hill, we showed the perfection of the art of forward passing, and although our great center, Toutant, was not in the line-up, we surprised the visitors by winning a 14 to 7 victory. In this game the first score was registered against us and our goal was crossed for the first time and the only time during the entire season. The features of the game were Shaver's spectacular eighty yard run and the working of seventy-five per cent. of all the forward passes tried, a remarkable feat. Next came the annual Turkey day contest with Eastern, in which NVestern was victorious for the first time during the last nine years of her football history. Every member of the team played an excellent game and demonstrated very decisively their superiority over the hard-fighting Eastern eleven. The ability of Pacynski to push the well directed passes from Kaiser out of the air won the game with a score ot' 6 to 0. With the valley championship almost in our grasp, while playing the inferior Saginaw East- ern team, on a snow covered Hefd we lost a hard-fought game by a score of 2 to 0. VVestern clearly outplayed them in all departments of the game. The loss of this game left Arthur Hill, Saginaw Eastern and Bay City lVestern tied for the cham- pionship. This closed one of the most successful footbali' seasons VVestern has ever ex- perienced. The faithfulness of al! the players in practicing and the untiring efforts of Coach 'W. VV. Morris enabled VVestern to boast, of her first valley championship football team. It was a team of stars in all departments of the game. developing players several of whom were unanimously chosen for positions on the All-Vah ley team. Shaver and Pacynski were considered for places on the All-State team, an honor previously unknown to Western. The fellows on the team played a hard, clean, consistent game throughout the season and represented Western to the best of their ability which was by no means small. 66 BASEBALL Eaarhall Owing to the 'fact that the Annual goes to press before the season closes, we cannot state its outcome, but at present our chances to win the championship are good. The line-up this year is: Fullen, catcher: Pacynski and Shaver, pitchersg Vvoods, first baseg Hershey, second baseg Parsons, shortstopg Soderstrom and Pitts- ley, third base: Tyson, left tieldg Shaver, center fieldg Miller, right fleld. This year, because of the increased number of games, due to the fact that each valley team has to play two games with each school in the valley, we had to start the season early in order to play the games before school was out. The base ball field was in such a muddy condition that the team could not practice until a week before our first valley game with Saginaw Eastern. In this game we were defeated by a score of 6 to 1. This game was a poor exhibition and neither team deserves much credit. Our next valkey game Was with Flint and was played on their grounds. Ow- ing to the large number of errors made by our team and a little hard luck in the ninth inning we lost the game by a close score of 3 to 2. Stanley pitched Well and deserved a victory. Our next game was to be with Bay City Eastern, but because the students of Eastern voted to do away with base ball we were without a game that week. NVe secured a game with Midland, however, and beat them in a close game by a score of 6 to 4. Shaver started this game a.nd pitched six innings and did well. A week later we played our third valley game with Arthur Hill. VVe won the game, the score being 3 to 1. The game was very exciting and a pitchers' dual took place between Brooks and Pacynski, with Pacynski a shade the better. The following week we again played Saginaw Eastern and on account of the way the field was laid out we were defeated. The pitcher's box was 554 feet too far and Pacynski was unable to throw as we'l as he generally does. The game wail protested by Coach Morris and is going to be played over and the other game will not be counted. This makes it possible for WVestern to win the championship. The only valley games yet to be played are with Arthur Hill and Flint. Next year we will have practically the same team with the exception of Fullen and Tyson, and our prospects are bright for a championship team. it X A V T: 'TNXYX S XXXNXNX XX 'ol W .W vlllllwf I V m . 5' amp ..

And are you sueeess'? I questioned. I-'or him that knows it not. it said. The voice ehil'ed me and I drew away and stumbled on.

I struck the threshhold with my stiek and a voir-e answered Yes? Tell me. I demanded. who abides here. I am Glory, the voiee answered. And are you sueeess'? I asked. To him retaining it, it said.

Yes, sir, I don't think they orter 'low such things, said Ebenezer. putting away on his old corncob pipe, ns if his very life depended upon it. VVal, if here uin't that young feller comin' back afreadyj' said one of the group, as a cloud of dust appeared at the foot of the hill. Guess there won't be many chickens er dogs either left along the road. ' Wal, I tell yer one thing, said Joshua Smith, as he rose to go, if that there young feller ever runs over a chicken er at dog of mine, I'll have the law on him by gosh, he needn't think he can run this here place even if he is Squire VVatt's son. Hero comes that young Brown gal, exclaimed one of the loungers, as a young girl came down the street. Hey, Josh, he continued, when's Bob comin' home? He sure uster keep Brown's front porch hot agoln' up there sparkin' thet gal. NVal, I kin tell yer, replied Uncle Josh, if thet young son of mine comes home with any of these high-Hown notions and horse'ess businesses like Jack Watt, it'1l go gosh darn hard with him, you kin bet yer boots on it, too. And Uncle Josh turned to the proprietor and said, Any mail fer us, Ebenezer? If there is give it ter me and l'll be otT er Elvira'll be down after me. Hey! YVhat's this? A letter from Bob, by gosh. Vkionder what the young rascal's got ter say fer himself. AS he tore the lctter open a voice culled from behind him: Hello, Uncle Josh, how are you and Aunt Elvira this hot weather? Oh! is this from Bob? I've got one, too, but I hnven't read it yet, and as Uncle Josh only replied with a grunt, the girl, Nancy Brown, eagerly tore open her letter. She had not read far when she ex- claimed, Oh, Uncle Josh, Bob's coming home WVednesda.y-why, that's today-and what do you know about this, he says, 'VVell, Nancy. what do you know about it: I'vc got a peach of a motorcycle. It's an Indian and it goes like blazes. I hear Ja':k's home and has a new machine, so of course he's the talk of the town. but I hope it won't make anyi' now what do you think of that, Uncle Josh? Bob's got a new motorcycle, so .lack won't be the only one in town whose got something besides an old horse and a spring buggy to go riding in. I think we're becoming quite modern, don't you, Uncle? Uncle Josh looked in wonder at Nancy. What, what did he say he had? A new what has he got? A new motorcyc!e, answered Nancy. And what might a new motorcycle be? asked Uncle Josh, pronouncing each syllable with the utmost care. Why, Uncle Josh, she answered, don't you know what a motorcycle is? It's something like a bicycle only it runs without your 'having to pump it. VVell, of all things, exclaimed Uncle Josh, 'ifirst one of them gosh darned wagons runnin' without a horse comes ter town, and then that young scamp of mine's agoin' ter bring home a bicycle that runs without pumpini I always told Elvira an edjication never'd do that boy- any good and his goin' ter the city 'ud never turn out well. Wal, I giss what's did can't be undid and if it's got ter be it's no use tryin' ter git outer it. But fer all I kin see. young gal, this here town's goin' ter rack an' ruin with these new-fangled contraptions runnin' wild 'bout the p'ace. But I don't see what me an' the old woman ever did ter be punished like this. Jest ter think of its bein' our son Bob abringin' this here new vice inter the place amakin' all the young folks discontented. VVal, I giss I'll be trnvellin' on er Elvira'li think l'm dead, but jest wait till that fel'er gits home an' I'lt tend ter him, continued Uncle Josh, forgetting that Bob was no longer a boy but a man, and taller and larger than himself. YVhen Uncle Josh reached the street all was confusion and excitement. The loungers from the store had gathered at the corner and the simple village people were out in the street, gazing toward the end of the' street where the home of Uncle Josh and Aunt Elvira was situated. Uncle Josh wondered what was the cause of all the commotion, but he soon learned. There in the yard before his house was the cause, and Uncle Josh hast- ened on toward home to investigate. YVhen he entered the living-room he was greeted wiht a firm handshake and a. 70 il J i 1 I - 1 hearty Hello, Dad from his son. After some time Bob said, VVell, Dad, what do you think of my new motorcycle? Isn't she a bird, or didn't you notice her as you came in? Naw. answered his father, didn't pay any attention to it. Well, come on out and have a good look at her, was the reply, and they both left the house to examine the machine. What do you call it? Uncle Josh asked after some time. VVhy, nothing. She don't need a name, you know, Dad. She's not like a, horse that you have to call by a particular name before she'll move. A grunt from Dad was the only reply. Want to learn to run her, Dad? asked Bob after a short silence. Not on yer life, young feller. I think a little more of my old bones than you do your'n. Don't yer ever think I'd be ketched a ridin' that thing. It's an invention of the devil himself, thatfs what it be, and the old man turned and walked away, much to the amusement of his son. Guess Dad don't approve, he said to himself, as he started off toward the Brown home, but I bet Nancy will. She's a good sport, but it's a wonder she hasn't a lot of this nonsense in that pretty head of hers, living so long with so many old fogiesf' And Nancy did approve for Bob again started to keep the Brown's front porch warm. Two weeks passed by. Every day the new vice was to be seen racing down the road to return again in the course of a half hour, and stop at the Brown's gate. One morning as Bob was cleaning his machine his father came out to where he was at work and said, Say, Bob, how many chickens have you killed since yer been home? SVhy I don't know, was the reply. VVhat made you ask? 'iOh, I jest wanted ter know. After a few moments of silence he again spoke: Say, Bob, how long did it take yer ter learn ter run t.hat there business. Oh, two or three days, I guess. Nvant to learn to run her, Dad? Oh, I was only wonderin' if I could keep my ba'ance on the thing. Don't be- lieve I could, and he thoughtfully surveyed the machine. Come on, Dad, and learn to run her, answered Bob, a broad grin on his face. It won't cost you anything, you know. And Dad did learn to run it. Two weeks later as the usual crowd of loungers gathered on the porch of the general store a motorcycle came racing down the road amid a cloud of dust at 'a rate to imperil the lives of any creature in its path. Wal it do heat all the excitin' things that be a happenin' in this here town. Who'd ever a thought a month ago that Joshua Smith would change from a good law-abidin' citizen to a reckless old fool, spendin' all his time a galavantin' round the country on a motorcycle, killing off all the chickens an' dogs in the country, exclaimed Ebenezer Stone, as Uncle Josh disappeared amid a cloud of dust and a tangle of linen coat tails.

WESTERN HIGH had lived in West Bay City many years before KN, it became a part of Bay City. Her husband had died during the Spanish war, leaving her with a family of over one hundred and fifty children. Although many of these have left her, she has adopted enough more to make up a total of nearly three hundred. There are about a dozen of these who are older than the rest and who are their mother's chief advisers and look after their young brothers and sis- ters. They are called the faculty by most people. Mr. E. H. School, an old gentleman, lived on the opposite side of the Saginaw river years before Mrs. High came to Bay City. He was a proud and domineering fellow, but was never looking for any extra trouble. His wife died about a year ago leaving him with a larger family than Mrs. High had, up to this time. He had also a group, or faculty, to whom he went for advice. They' were well acquainted and friendly with Mrs. High's faculty. i Mr. School's faculty had advised him several times to marry as he needed someone to help him control his children. He thenlwent to Mr. Board O' Education for advice. Now, Eastern, he said. Calllng his client by his surname, I'll tell you what. You know my daughter, VVestern, has been a Widow for nearly eighteen years. She should have been married long ago. Vvhy not marry her? That's what I've been thinking of, but my children will never get along with her's. My boys never go to the W'est Side but wha.t they come back all battered up, said the old man. his brow wrinkling. However, said Mr. Board O'iEduca- tion, I think that we will be able to overcome this difllculty, and I think that when the two families are united there will be peace. You can build a new and modern home on our vacant property, corner Fourth and'Grant., large enough for all. I will go to see her at once. and without waiting for an answer Mr. Board O' Edu- cation donned his silk hat and leaving his client alone. left for the West Side. He took only a short while to tell his plan to his daughter, who listened in- tently and said nothing. She was disgusted and angry with her father and when he got through she began: VVhat do you think I am? Marry that old fogy? No, never! I could never marry a man I did not love. and my love was buried a long time ago. What kind of a step-,mother do you think I'd make to a bunch of boys who would come over in the dead of the night while I was asleep and smear my face with paint because they were celebrating a victory over my sons? How do you suppose my boys will be able to live with them ? she asked, her eyes fairly blazing with anger. I don't think that they will fight after they know each other and your chil- dren will be much better oft' in anew and modern liome instead of this old, rickety shack, that will probably be condemned by the tate inspector on his next visit here. Then what will you do ? Mrs. High hid her face in her hands and said nothing. VVhat could she say? VVhat could she do? She knew that her building would be condemned and there was none in the city kind enough to give her any money with which to build a new home, and she had none herself. Then she said. O, father. give me at least a week to decide. This is alto- gether too sudden. Her father consented, being softened by these words, but he was still determined. A whole week passed before Mr. O' Education came to see his daughter. He had made full plans with Mr. E. H. School, having seen that venerable gentle- man every day, even on Sunday. X He made his appearance at the front door bright and early in the morning. The faculty were in the room with their mother. Theyi had practically turned her head from the not-marrying side to the marrying, for the betterment of their brothers and sisters. They did all the talking for their mother and closed the deal that was to make Mrs. High the Wife of Mr. E. H. School, and the wedding was to take place as soon as the new home was finished. You really mean it? asked Mr. Board O' Education of his daughter, wishing to be fully assured. 1 Yes, answered his daughter, a. tear running idown each cheek. Last week, Mrs. High, still in a sorrowful mood, met the minister of her church who discussed the subject with her, saying that her father and the backer of Eastern High School' did not hurry and build the new home, she would be dead be- fore they got it and her children would be left. without any protection. i DEWEY MEYERS, '17.

Now the stream has ceased to flow, The reason why you soon shall know, Listen closely while I relate The story of the brook'et's fate. Once an Indian tribe lived near, And from this little stream so dear They carried water to be used For anything the redmen chose. To quench their thirst the redinen took The water from this sparkling brook. And warriors bold and children small Knew the water god the best of all. But to this scene one day there came A White man carrying in his train Some whisky which the redmen bought- They drank, they quarreled and then the They killed each other right and left, And of the children none were left. Every papoose fell the prey Of drunken redmen that awful day. But when the throng had quieted down, The whisky gone, they all were bound To seek the water from the brook Instead of what the white man took.

NVarble his native wood-notes wild. On December Sth, 1915. the girls of VVestern High school, interested in the study of the drania. met with Miss Bothe. The meeting resulted in the organization of the Girls' Dramatic Club, the purpose of which was to educate along' dramatic lines. It was decided that our meetings be held on Thursday afternoon of every other week at three o'clock, and that the Greek drama be our course of study. The course of study has proved both interesting and educational, aside from the entertaining 1,n'ogrxtn1 numbers, such as scenes from Shakespeare, resumes of popular modern nove's and various other pursuits of dramatic entertainment. Uur first open day of the club, April 14th, 1916, was marked by the presentation of the Greek comedy, The Clouds, having been prepared under the direction of Miss Merrill. It sparklcd with wit and humor, and was delightfully received by all, the cl'aracters doing justice to their respective parts. Both Miss Bothe and Miss Merrill have been very instrumental in tending to make our 0l'g'2lllii2lfi0ll a success, and we wish to take this opportunity to extend to them our sincerest appreciation, with the hope that the club will next year and henceforth be fortunate as to receive the co-operation of two such splendid per- sonages. 921 ll Q X 9 ul . - 'A -Fai?

A Last fall a meeting of all the boys interested in the wire'ess was called and as a result a club was organized under the name of NVestern Radio Club. At the first meeting of the club the following oflicers were elected: Nelson Gilbert, presidentg John LaRue, vice-president: Lewis l'owrie, secretary: Edwin Greenleaf, treasurer, Albin.-Johnson, librarian, and Reed Nichols, chief censor. It was decided that meetings would be held on the NVednesday of every other week, and that the dues would be ten cents per month. The object of the club is to awaken an interest in Wireless telegraphy and to be instructive along all sorts of electrical lines as well as furnish a means of pe- cuniary support. As an aid thereto books and magazines have been purchased by the club for the use of its members. In February an electrical carnival was given by the club for the purpose of raising funds. Electrical stunts of all kinds were exhibited including demonstra- tions in wireless telegraphy. A one-act farce concluded the carnival. It was a great. success considering that it was the first entertainment of any kind, given by the club. The study of the wireless has proved both interesting and educational' and it is to be hoped that this branch of activity will be kept up and improved upon as time goes on. f S W ' 1, A .A,1A',, !l0fm lll lllttll Ill gg?

The Vifebsterian Debating Club was organized in October for the purpose of grooming debaters for the valley debates. Meetings were held on alternate Tues- day evenings. About twenty-live boys joined the club and took part in the' pro- grams at different times. The programs, varied from orations, lectures, and the reading of a high school journal to programs consisting entirely of debating, and were designed to give the boys training in argumentation, oratory and declama- tion. Mr. Lewis, Mr. Powrie, Mr. Tom inson, Mr. Bendall, Mr. Lichtig and Mr, Vvalt visited the club and talked to the members about the necessity for such an organization and the beneiits to be derived from the meetings. The banquet of the club on Tuesday, November 30th, was- well attended tnaturallyl and a number of the YVebsterians showed considerable ability as after- dinner speakers. It is impossible to measure the amount of good which the Websterian Club ac- complished, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that tive of the eight students who represented VVestern on the debating teams were members of the club, and our representative in the District Oratorical Contest lwho. by the way, won second place,J received some experience in the club meetings. The members of the club are: Ernest Ackermann, Arlin Armstrong, Theo Bancroft, VVilloughby Blodgett. Reginald Crooks, VVill Davis, Roy DuLude, Garry Ensing. Nelson Gilbert, Spencer Goodwin, Edwin Greenleaf, Hiram Handy, Clarence Hare, Leroy Keeley.

There's a jolly Saxon proverb That is pretty much like this: That a man is half in heaven If he has at woman's kiss. There is danger in delaying, For the sweetness may forsake it, So I tell you, bashful lover, If you want a kiss, why, take it. II. Never let another fellow , Steal a. march on you in this, Never let a laughing maiden See you spoiling for a kiss. There's a royal way to kissing, And the jolly ones who make it, Have a motto that is winning- If you want a kiss, why, take it. III Any fool may face a cannonl Anybody wear a crown. But a man must win a woman If he'd have her for his own. Would you have the golden apple, You must find the tree and shake it, If the thing is worth the having, And you want a kiss, why, take it. IV. W'ho would burn upon a desert With a forest smiling by,? Who would change the sunny summer For a bleak and wintry day? Oh! I tell you, there is magic, And you cannot, cannot break it, For the sweetest part of loving Is to want a kiss, and take it. -This was found at Eastern.
