WILLIAM KIRBY MARY ALICE SHACKLETON V Page Twenty-one THE I-IIGI-ILANDER Page Tfwenty-tfwo The Very Class of '32f f 'Twas on the twenty-first of May A great calamity Befell three girls of Western State To write the history. They knew not how nor where t' begin They were lost as in a storm. But after much discussion and thought They decided on ballad form. So listen now, my classmates all, And those historians here, To outstanding events we have to tell About our high school years. Our class began with Seventy-tW0. Our scholars' wit displayed From the first superior list of seven Honors by four were made. And, as was the yearly custom, E We elected officers three: ' Glenn Allen, Kreilick, and Dorothy Sprau Served very capably. But even though we'd just begun, Weld several athletes, too: Wiith Lornie Russell and Dibble We helped the football crew. As Freshmen We were not so green We showed what We could do, With aspirants in music, plays, In basketball and football, too. But after our exams were o'er, We no longer as Freshmen were known And the next September we eagerly took The name Sophomore as our own. We chose our leaders well that year, With Moulton and with Moss For Vice-President and Treasurer, And Chuck Dibble as our boss. The Sophomores made the orchestra We heard some students say, For many sweet strains of music From study hall rose each day. Q THE I-IIGI-ILANDER Our fourth year at State High proved to be The most successful oneg For along with books and piles of work We had a lot of fun. Three politicians rare had We Much interest they afforded: Glenn Allen the Student Council led And its Work to us reported. Of orchestra and glee club we were proud Because of the contests they'd won And of Jean and Stuart for the marvelous work 'In the National Chorus they'd done. We were represented in sports, of course, In basketball and track, In football we especially shone- They couldn't keep us back. As each year found us more engaged In the activities of the school We-:'ll hasten on to our busiest years- The last two are, as a rule. For officers three we had girls this year A most unusual eventg Shackleton, Shafer, and Betty Joy Moss Served the class with good intent. 1 v ' In The Wild Westcotts staged this year X Kreilick took the cake By guiding his loving sister dear Through the trials of finding a mate. ' At the annual upperclassmen prom The seniors were our guests. With gay decorations and orchestra fine .It was judged the very best. Our highest achievement of the year Was along the musical lineg For Bartoo and Allen musicians rare Were two of our quintet fine. They easily Won the district and state, , Next Tulsa was their aim. 'Andi because they'd worked and practiced hard - They won 'their way to fame. 4 ' Page Twnify-tlzrie TI-IE I-IIC-il-ILANDER Glenn Allen Ruth Bartoo Betty Jane Hodges William Kennedy Elizabeth Musselman Pay: Tfwenty-four Shackleton and Schumacher also did wellg The former our class represented. With Vincent as president and leader The gift of a plaque was presented. This year in track we stood out in front, Winning the regional meet. With Lornie , Tanner, Kreilick, and Blink Performing marvelous feats. And the girls were well represented, too, Along the dramatic line: Webster, Yarling, Ettwein and Hodges, In The Cradle Song did shine. The most exciting event of the year Was the St. Augustine game We fought mid sirens, horns and confetti But just came short of fame. The editor-in-chief of the Highlander Sta-H Was Kennedy, well-chosen one. With Stuart Russell as business man Most excellent work was done. As a climax of our high school years The faculty met and voted Nine students to the national list Those of the Seniors well-noted. Hodges, Musselman, Allen, Simpson, Ritsema and Bartoo, Schumacher, Kennedy, and Stuart Russell Took the honors due. And now, as a final conclusion Farewell to all we say. To underclassmen this adage We give First work and afterward play . Scholastic Honors Mary Ritsema Vincent Schumacher Dorothy Simpson Margaret Snow Mildred Snow Tl-IE I-IIGI-lLANDERe CLASS WILL ,fd E, the members of the Senior Class of 1932 of Western State High School of Kalamazoo, in the County of Kalamazoo and State of Michigan, being totally unfit for proper disposal of our wordly assets and liabilities, do, nevertheless declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made.

Schumacher, accompanied by Mrs. Schumach- er established today a record which gives us definite proof that he is the outstanding flyer of the present day. A reception rivaling that of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's of years gone by, greeted him and showed appreciation of his singular feet . Schumacher flew around the world in two days, stopping only in Venice to take a ride in a gondola. On his return, Schumacher was congrat- ulatedby the President of the United States, Glenn ,S. Allen. Mayor Stuart Russell of New York City gave him the Key to the city- and oh! what a Key. The first night he was royally entertained with a beautiful banquet at the Ritz by Governor VVilliam Kennedy of New York State. Music was furnished by Evvy Clark's Crooners doing a specialty number of Sweet Adeline . Later in the evening a lovely floor show was put on by the Croon- ers . The feature number was We'd Make a Peach of a Pair by Schlobohm and Drake, better known as Ruthie and Norm. The next evening the Secretary of Agri- culture, Harry Garrison, entertained them at the New York Opera House, where they .heard the great prima donna, Catherine Ettwein, sing Love, You Funny Thing . A special feature was the appearance of Ruth Bartoo, famed flutist. Mr. Schumacher collapsed, the entertain- ment proving too much after so many sleep- less nights. Artists' Conf ab Here At the artists' convention held here last week many beautiful paintings were exhibit- ed. Among them was a portrait entitled Sir john done in exquisite style by Bar- bara Knorr. fMrs. Sir johnl. Another prize-winning portrait was one of a marshall painted by Lou Barrows.

I stood on the corner and got an eyeful. I First detained Mr. Burt Moulton, famed humorist. I had been waiting for such an excellent opportunity to question him con- cerning his new song hit My Louise . After talking to him I am still in a fog as to why a humorist should write such a song. My only satisfaction was By Godfrey , from Burt--a man never known to swear before. Next I bumped into a man I had long desired to meet, Mr. Philip Merrill, the new manager of Ziegfeld's Follies.

In the field of music the class was distinguished with many juniors in the operetta, and Ruth Blair as a school representative to the National Orchestra Contest. All of the members of the National chorus were Juniors. ln athletics, lettermen were Boyce, Keiser, Sherwood, Carter, Corsette, Dutton and Peck.

It was organized in 1921 to co-operate with the faculty on all matters touching the interests of the students. The president is elected by the entire school and is assisted by representatives, one from each class and school organi- zation. The candidates for office are chosen by the petition system, and are elected in May by a general vote. The oath of office for the new members is administered the following fall. , T . The powers and duties of the Student Council as stated in the constitution are of such nature as to produce an efficient organization. They are: To constitute, if necessary, a court to hear cases of misdemeanors and inflict penalties in keeping with justice, to appoint, dismiss, and hear regular reports from the Chief Monitor and his assistants. Its duties arez' To stimulate interest in extra-curricular activities, to en- courage a high grade of citizenship in the halls, class rooms, study halls, and activities: to promote an interest in better scholarshipg to hear student complaints on any case of student management. This year the council has been fortunate in possessing a very capable and ener- getic president. Besides carrying on the customary duties, he introduced as an inno- vation, that at each assembly the president should give a clear and concise account of the council activities for the past week, thus enabling the student body to better know the .organization which has represented them. Among the achievements of the Student Council this year were the sponsoring of most of the school parties with the aid of Mrs. Biscomb, and the arranging of the assemblies. Each assembly program was planned by some member of the council, who secured such entertainment as would coincide with the interests of his special club, thus affording variety. Assisted by the counsel of lllr. Cain, the Student Council has enjoyed a success- ful year. Officers: President . GLENN ALLEN Serretary . BARBARA ALLEN Fnrulty Adviser MR. W. H.

To create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of American Secondary Schools is the purpose of this society. lllembership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. To be eligible, students must have a scholarship rank in the upper one-third of their class, and must have been in the school at least five terms. Fifteen per cent of the grad- uating class are elected to membership. The faculty select all members. The general control of the society is vested in a National Council which consists of members elected by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. These nine members are chosen for a term of three years, three being chosen annually. The letters C. S. L. S. standing for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service are found on the pin. This emblem is uniform throughout the United States and its distribution is under the exclusive control of the National Council. Included in the personnel this year are VVilliam Kennedy, Betty Jane Hodges, Ruth Bartoo, Elizabeth lllusselman, Glenn Allen, hilary Ritsema, Stuart Russell, Vincent Schumacher, and Dorothy Simpson.

A Detroit daily paper, in a full page story on chess recently stated that, Hhlore than 30,000 Detroit youngsters have turned to chess, the king ot intellectual diyersionsf' ln our city there are three cluhs in schools as well as a city club. This interest in the game is world-wide. It has been sug- gested that this hankering for chess is a reaction to the lighter forms of amusement and indicates a return to reasoning tor the mere satisfaction ot it. In England, chess is studied by the school children under skilled instructors to acquire concentration. VVhether this ability to concentrate can he acquired or not from the game, it is true that no one can hecome a master of it unless he has this power ot the mind.

The speakers were Bliss Seekelg Bfliss Boylan, who discussed Greece today and yesterdayg Bliss Kraftg Bliss Siedschlag, who described Hadrian's villag and Bliss Hoebeke. Until 1930 those interested in a Latin Club attended that of the college, but m that year the high school Classical Club came into existence.

Fat-ulty fldfviser V L THE I-IIGI-ILANDER Caesar and Cicero O names in Roman history are more prominent, more familiar, than. those of Caesar and Cicero. Although these men have certain similarities, nevertheless they have marked differences. Caesar was more practical, a man of action. Cicero was more idealistic, a man of thought. Both shaped nations then. Both influence now. Their lives, up to the time of their political careers, were strikingly alike, both being sons of men of means. Caesar being only six years older, they were contem- poraries. 'Both were Roman citizens, Caesar of the patrician order, Cicero of the equestrian. The parents of both had political aspirations for their sons and gave them the best education the times afforded. In Greece both studied rhetoric and ora- tory in the same school, although at different times. After entering political life their differences became more noticeable. Their political careers have resemblances and differences just as their characters have. Both Cicero and Caesar were consuls, Cicero in 63 B. C., Caesar in 59 B. C. To reach the consulship each had one outstanding disadvantage to overcome. Cicero's was his lack of noble lineage, Caesar's, his lack of money. In the career of both, one can recognize the desire to do good. In Cicero's career one perceives always his abso- lute sincerity. In Caesar's career one feels a desire to benefit mankind urged on by personal ambition. The principal distinctions are fundamental, Caesar, the doer, Cicero, the medi- tator. Caesar exhibited his predominant trait when he decided that he himself, and not the senate, should dictate to the army. Cicero believed that all' orders of society should harmonize, an ideal situation while Caesar believed that the direction of society be in one order, mainly himself, which he accomplished in reforming the republic. Naturally these men wrote and spoke as they acted and believed. In their writings both have a place in our libraries. Caesar is a model for his- torians, Cicero for essayists and orators. Caesar Wrote for a purpose: to justify him- self. Cicero wrote for pleasure: to enjoy himself. Caesar could not only do things but could also say things. Few men, Caesar and Napoleon being outstanding examples, have this double capacity. Caesar's Com- mentaries reveal a vigorous, simple style of writing with an unexpected sense of the dramatic and artistic which fascinates modern historians and readers. Cicero, in writing, was a politican, philosopher, critic, moralist, and advocate. His essays Friendship and Old Age and his orations are highly admired and wide- ly copied in style, form, and kind of argument. Although after his decapitation the wife of Mark Antony stuck a hair pin through his tongue, that tongue continued to speak for the next sixteen centuries. No man has had more influence on the writ- ers of his language than Cicero. In Roman oratory Cicero ranks first, Caesar second. Cicero spoke on more varied occasions and more often. Caesar addressed mainly his soldiers. Both were very effective, very inspiring. After reading of their influence, both past and present, one wonders what the history of Rome and the world would be without Caesar and Cicero. -Dorothy Ries.

The membership has risen from the original twenty members to twice that number. 'Its aim is to promote friendship among the girls of the high school, and to stimulate a greater interest in service to others.

As early as 1881, the Y was doing work among the younger girls, but not until 1918, during the World War, was the name of Girl Reserves adopted. In the fall of 1931, nearly 300,000 Girl Reserves of the United States were centering their attention on the Golden Jubilee . Yesterday and Today were enacted by birthday parties, special church services, and pageants depicting the progress of the organi- zation throughout a period of fifty years. Here in our own city there are seven clubs, three of them composed of high school girls, the other fourtopen to girls of the grade schools. During the past win- ter, many activities have been sponsored by the Inter-City Council, for closer and greater friendliness among the girls of the different schools. The Girl Reserves have a worthwhile code which they try to live by: A Girl Reserve' believes that she must begin now to prepare herself to be a good citizen-a citizen of the United States and of the world. She believes that good citizens must have healthy minds and bodies, that she must have an understanding of the problems of the world in which she livesg that she must know how to enjoy life and help others to enjoy it, and that she must be ready to give intelligent, unselfish service. She believes that if people are to work together as good citizens, they must first learn to live happily in their homes and in their communities as friends and neighbors. This belief is symbolized in the blue triangle .which emphasizes the development of body, mind and spirit. ' --Louise Barrows.

All the fellows were out for this unusual feast. Throwing modesty aside they brought their mothers. Everyone listened to Evvy Clark's crooning andthe orchestra's music before supper was served. Mr. Starring led off the evening with a toast to the fighting Irish -Van Something and Van Other. Then he introduced Mr. Cain, who had for a topic what might be called Thanks to the Team. He made it known that he was well pleased with the success of the squad, and said that he hoped those remaining would have many victories. Paul Kreilick and Lawrence Russell each made the usual cur- tain speech. ii Mr. Kreilick took the stand and made the crowd roll in the aisles. While each one climbed back into his respective seat, he said that for the last four years, thanks to Paul, he had been obliged to buy a large number of gold and white sweaters, but because he believed we had a good team had allowed Paul to keep right on, until he had, in the meantime earned a few more S's . Bud Hinga, Coach at Hope College, the main speaker for the evening, spoke on Why I Want My Son to Play Football. He stated that if his son learned no more from football than to keep himself out of mischief, his father would be satis- fied. He also said that his son would gain many advantageous habits to help him practice good sportsmanship and to play the game of life, which has many hard knocks and jars. Bud told many stories concerning his interesting experiences as a coach. It was so enjoyable that the people would have stayed longer if he had had more time. Tim Barry, the coach of the honored team, reviewed each player's merits and thanked each one for his co-operation in making a good team. Then Tim intro- duced Clare Keiser, the new captain, who thanked his supporters simply and with sincerity. After pie a la mode was eaten, as was the custom in Biblical days, each betook himself to his own domicile, where each forgot his thoughts in slumber until another day.

It is evident that music is a part of our nature because from the very beginning of time people talked to their gods through the medium of music. Music has been styled the oldest, greatest and grandest of all the arts, exercising a stronger influence over humanity than any other. Music has some mysterious qual- ity which enables it to lift us out of theuninteresting atmosphere of everyday life and to place us in a purer, more ideal realm. There are three classes of musicians: one that creates, one that performs and one that appreciates. Who is to judge which is the most important? The third class of musicians is trained in the years of prepara- tion for life's work, whether that work is to be at home or out in the great World. America, to become a great nation musically, must thoroughly educate everybody to know and love fine music. She must begin with the very small child and sur- round him with beautiful music so that it becomes a vital part of his education. America must not neglect this part of his schooling so that in later life he will have to make up the deprivations of his childhood by rushing madly to concerts and operas with no idea of why he is going. It is a fact that our musical habits and tastes are formed in youth. Even if music cannot be defined, it can be enjoyed, owned, and can enrich our life experiences and make us finer and bigger because there is no gift to mankind which has such outstanding power to influence or move us. Everywhere we go we find music, in church, in school, in the theater, wherever there are people. If every- one could be educated to appreciate real music, a public sentiment would be created which would demand good music. -Aleen Leetz.

MISS ECCLES Faye Fifty-six l'! '1 ' ' '1 - i ' W Q l 'TI-IE HIGI-ILANDER The Radio Play ROADCAST drama began by bringing scenes from stage plays in front of the mi- crophone and hoping for the best. It is needless to say the best was not achieved. People who had never been to the theater,'or who would go to the theater when they came into some sort of windfall, were delighted at this second best substitute. The most essential factor in the make-up of the broadcast play is a limiting one: it can appeal to one sense only-the ear. One is bound to be handicapped by starting with a definite demand upon the in- telligence of one's audience in the production and writing of a broadcast play. One demands that the audience put away its eyes and react from what it hears. 'It is necessary to find methods by which to prove that the radio play has compensating advantages and possibilities to make up for its demand that an audience, accustomed to use its eyes, should temporarily forego that use. The absence of sight, must from the point of view of the radio playwright, producer, and audience, be regarded as a parallel to the three walls incidental to all theater productions-as a handicap but not as an entirely destructive handicap. Let us consider some of the compensating advantages. Most important of all, the broadcast play is not limited by unities. It is true that the theater is making strenuous attempts to escape from the tyranny of the unities of time and space, but costumes must be changed and scenery shifted and lapses of time must imply definite interruptions. In the broadcast play, so long as the playwright can, by means of his writing, maintain the lucid development of characterization and plot-he is relatively given a free hand. Music can be used to a degree quite impossible in the ordinary theater. Cer- tainly a large number of us achieve a definite dramatically emotional reaction from music. The conventional tiresome overture is, or at any rate, should be, replaced in the broadcast play by the music either specially written or so admirably chosen as to form an integral part of the complete dramatic structure. The professional actor, it is found, adapts himself more readily to the micro- phone than the less experienced actor. Although trained to adapt himself to the reactions of an audience, he soon becomes used to the microphone. One can never tell what the reaction of one's audience is unless as many stations often do, souvenirs are offered in order to get the audience's opinion of the play. But then not all people are souvenir hunters and thus one is unable to determine the opinions of all the listeners, or in any sense, the size of the audience. What is important to remember is, that the radio audience is not merely susceptible to what is expressed in definite sentences, but that its interest has to be consistently held by some form of oral sound pattern, otherwise the radio dramatist will fall back into the unhappy position of being considered a second-best substitute for the more normal type of theatrical entertainment. f -Helen Dunham.

W INTER, in the world of mamals has its trials and inconveniences. It is a Wi catastrophe which must be avoided or overcome. Plant food is scarce and mostly hidden. Swimmers search in vain for air holes and tunnelers find the ground too hard to dig, while drifts of snow make life miserable for the land travelers. The pro- tective colors of summer coats are now inadequate and conspicuous and the thinly clad animal wretchedly shivers with the coming of the icy north wind. Migration is beyond the powers of most mammals. To flee the hostile weather is an achievement only of the birds and such water dwellers as sea-lions and whales. The most popular form of protection against winter is a profound sleep called hibernation. There are many of these great sleepers. The most widely known is probably the bear. A bear, no matter what kind he may be, if he lives in the North or on high mountains, eats greedily during the summer and fall so that, when winter comes in earnest, he will be content to sleep with no thought of food. Days or even Weeks before the cold weather comes, this animal hunts a sheltered place beneath a tree, in a crevice of the rocks, or some protected site where the snow will drift. Here, at the appropriate time, he comes to doze off into a deep sleep, which is more or less con- tinuous throughout the winter. ' The rodents during hibernation curl into a ball, with their noses tucked tightly between their legs and their tails, such as they may be, coiled around the body. In this position they hide as much surface as possible from the cold. Except for the occasional breathing movements no motion is perceptible. The usually high body temperature in this condition is only a few degrees above that of the air and the senses of the animal are functionless. Waking is an interesting process. The animal goes through many shaking movements and his head rocks violently. If touched on the face his head will move towards the pressure, but his eyes will remain closed, giv- ing him a wierd and peculiar appearance. The eyelids open slovvlyg however, the animal gives no signs of seeing at first. Finally he gains control of his muscles and senses and scampers away. Many animals that stay near their summer home and do not hibernate spe- cialize in furs. The summer color pattern of mammals, as one can well imagine, stands out against the snow as conspicuously as a white sail against a blue sea, so several are very fortunate to obtain a white coat for winter. The Weasel turns to ermine during the snowy months, the arctic fox changes from blue to white, and the greenland hare from a grayish color to a shade of the snow. These changes are not, of course, absolute or perfect. The ermine has a black tip on his tail and the northern hare has black tips on his ears. It is often said that they retain these dark spots so that their friends may find them, but logic says nothing as to the identification by enemies. The carnivores store their food, for most of them are too particular to eat anything but fresh meat and even if they were willing, flesh has a way of announc- ing its presence to a large and greedy number. Vegetarians, however, have an easier time, since their food will preserve more readily. There is an old mountain fable which states that the severity of the coming winter may be judged by the size of the cony's hay pile, which he stores beneath the shelter of some rock for use in cold weather. ' The ability of lower animals to adapt themselves so easily to the hardships of winter has been a constant source of jealousy to man and as a result it is carefully studied by him. -Dorothy Sprau.

W. S. 'In this way the word came into its present use. In 1835 a newspaper, the Michigan Statesman, was being published in White Pigeon, Michigan. This little newspaper was thriving and contributing its bit to the world when Mr. Henry Gilbert appeared from the East. He had a strange desire to become a newspaper owner. He bought the Michigan Statesman and became its editor. After a short time, Gilbert moved his paper and family to Bronson, as Kala- mazoo was then called. He believed Bronson to be a better location. When the name Bronson was changed to Kalamazoo, the Michigan Statesman was changed to The Kalamazoo Gazette. The paper was published on Saturdays, the price was two dollars, if paid within three months, two-fifty if paid within the yearg and three dollars if paid after the year. The Gazette had many troubles caused by the lack of transportation facilities, the isolation of the community, and the scarcity of supplies. One week the supply of paper was nil, none could be obtained- So-the Gazette undefeated-used brown wrapping paper. The eyes of those poor pioneers that week! Another time the ink gave out. The infallible Gazette Staff sent papers to its customers with printing in lamp black and linseed oil. But, once, the Gazette was defeated. Everyone looked in vain for his weekly paper, but none appeared. An apology was printed the next week. The press room floor had been covered with snow. A The Gazette was the first paper in Michigan to open fire on slavery. The paper has had many owners: Henry Gilbert, who was really the founder, Volney Hascall, who owned the paper from 1846 until 1862 g A. J. Shakespeare, who was the publisher from '78 to '97 and changed the Gazette to a daily paper and raised the price to eight dollars a yearg General Wm. Shakespeare, who took the paper as trustee in '973 Ford F. Rowe and A. E. Kettle, who were owners and publishers from 1899 to 19223 and the Booth Publishing Company, the present owners. There have been many newspapers started in Kalamazoo, the Whig, Telegraph, Farmer, Daily Times, News, Press and Star, but the Gazette has remained at the top. -Mary Lou Yarling.

Tl-IE HIGHLANDER My First Boy Friend llllllll Jr, rl ARY, my folks have gone and I don't like to stay alone. Will you stay all night with me ? inquired my girl friend one evening about five years ago. ' W t'Oh, sure-I mean-may I, Mother? I asked hastily. Of course, replied my mother kindly, 'fBernadine might be frightened. The two of us quickly prepared to leave for her house. The moment we were outside, Bernadine burst out excitedly. Listen, Mary, I've got a date for you. We're going out to-night! What! I ejaculated in a flabbergasted tone. I was eleven years old and had never thought or cared about a date. Yes sir, she exulted, he's sixteen and handsome. But, Bernadine, I protested, 'What if mother finds out? '4She won't, Bernadine replied reassuringly. I was worried. I didn't really want to go. Nevertheless, I made no protest as Bernadine curled my hair and applied my first make-up with an expert hand. She also decided to loan me one of her dresses which effectively disguised my extreme youthfulness. I was very pleased wi'h my grown-up appearance and determined to have a good time despite a few vague fears of being discovered, with ensuing parental disapproval. I was not exactly sure how one acted in masculine society and when I asked Bernadine what to say to him, she laughingly replied, Leave that to jack. I was perplexed and uneasy until I saw jack. He looked harmless. I had played baseball with boys of that age many times. It was decided that we were to go for a drive. I was extremely uncomfortable, especially when I realized that my escort was regarding me with a strange and not altogether approving glance. Finally, he opened the conversation with the blunt question: How old are you P In my pronounced ignorance, I replied promptly, Eleven Don't let her kid you, Jack. Bernadine interposed hastily with a sly, warning wink at me. She's fifteen. Well, that's better anyhow, said Jack, optimistically. After that, I attempted to affect a sophisticated air. I made no more glaring blunders until the young man casually offered me a cigarette. Supposing him to be teasing, I knowingly replied, Girls don't smoke. Say! Where've you been all your life? Jack exploded in a gale of laughter. Even I knew that phrase. 'That's an old line, I retorted with a supercilious glance. The two consecutive remarks confused the boy-friend. He could not decide whether I was as innocent as the first sounded or an experienced person as the latter suggested. He became wary: and as I had not line , we returned home presently and the hoys left. I was glad. Enter- taining boys was a nerve strain. Jack didn't ask for a date , as Bernadine's boy friend had done at his departure. I won- dered at that. Jack became the center of my thoughts and the shining hero about whom all of my first rom intic dreams were built. I mentally decided that next time I would be very grown-up and dignity personfied. Imagine then my feelings at our next meeting. It occurred in the middle of the road on a long hill. He was coming up in his Stutz sport roadster and I was going down on a boy's bicycle! I pedaled to one side of the road to allow the car to pass. I immediately recognized the lone occupant and in my momentary excitement, lost control of the bicycle. In the loose gravelf such an error was fatal. I sailed over the handle bars and landed in an ungraceful spraw . I was ill with embarrassment. It was impossible to believe that he had not recognized me. 3, was in an ecstasy of fear that he would come back to see if I were hurt. Mercifully he didn't other. Words are powerless to describe the state of humiliation in which I lived the following few days. Time however mitigates all emotions. I recovered and resolved to be a boy-friendless girl until I was older. I did not meet Jack again until two years later when we met at a party. When the hostess, ignorant of our former meetings, introduced us, both of us acknowledged the introduction very gravely. I detected a gleam of amusement in Jack's eyes and was furious to feel my face Hush hotly. Jack escorted me home that night and neither of us mentioned the two previous meetings. During the two years following that party, he called at my home two or three times every three months with recurring regularity. Mother amusedly expressed the belief that he came back each time in the hope that I would have grown up since his last call. I am inclined to agree with mother's opinion. If we are right, Jack has finally become discouraged, just when the fulfillment of his hopes is not far off, for Jack was married two weeks ago yesterday. I wager he didn't know his wife when she was eleven years old. If he had, he probably wouldn't have married her. -Mary Varney. Page Sixty-ihrre Tl-IE l-IIGHLANDER Krill La Roy Brigham Kennedy G.

Car., the beginning of the means of air travel. After the success of their airplane, the Wright brothers sold a number of their pat- ents in England, France, and Germany. Six years after this first flight, Bleriot crossed the English Channel. During the World War, airplanes played an important part. It was in this period that American aviation leaped ahead. The French, Germans, and British, who had been improving for many years upon the patents of the Wright brothers, manufactured airplanes which were unthought of in that earlier period. American planes soon equaled any planes except those of the Germans, who manufactured a more speedy. plane at the close of the war. During the period 1918-1923, two events were of special interest: The first regular air mail route was established in America and the NC 4 crossed the Atlantic. 'In 1923 a contest for speed was started in England. The Americans produced an airship which clipped along at 177 miles per hour and won the Schneider trophy. In 1924 aviation slipped, although the third Zeppelin which the United States purchased from Germany sailed over the ocean to America, covering a distance of 5200 miles. Americans again captured the Schneider trophy by flying at a speed of 227 miles per hour. In the two years which followed, Byrd and Floyd Bennett flew over the North Pole. In this period the Americans smashed all records of speed, flying at 230 miles per hour, thus holding the Schneider cup for another year. During the year 1927 remarkable steps were taken in advancing aviation. It was in this year that Charles Lindbergh winged his way alone across the Atlantic to Paris. Chamberlin spanned the treacherous ocean and landed a few miles short of Berlin. Byrd with three other companions crossed the Atlantic. The Schneider trophy changed hands, going to the British, who flew 278 miles per hour. In 1928 occurred the first success of the autogyro. The Bremen flew from Germany to Newfoundland, which was the first successful east-to-west flight over the ocean. Also the Southern Cross flew from California to Australia in three hops, totaling a distance of 7200 miles, one part of which was across the Pacific Ocean. 1929 was another golden year for aviation. During these 365 days, the Graf Zeppelin circled the world, Captain Francisco and Captain Iglesias flew from Spain to Brazil, covering a distance of 4200 miles without stopping, Jackson and O'Brien remained aloft for 420 hours, Captain Hawks crossed the continent and back in 44 hours, and the British again held the Schneider trophy by traveling at 320 miles per hour. - In 1930 Jackson and O'Brien recaptured the endurance record when they re- mained aloft 647 hours, Captain Hawks flew from Los Angeles to New York in 12 hours and 24 minutes , two Frenchmen, Captain Dieudonne Coste and Captain Maurice Bellonte spanned the ocean from Paris to New York in 37 hours, the British, only competitors of the Italians, won the Schneider trophy by traveling 357 miles per hour, Byrd flew over the South Pole, thereby becoming the first man to fly over both poles. In l93l the giant Do X flew to New York. The world's largest airship, the Akron , was built in the United States. This year became the banner year for speed when the British streaked across the sky at a terrific speed of 379 miles per hour on a circular course and 418 on a straight away, .entitling them to the Schneider trophy. Aviation is still in its infancy, but the remarkable advances made thus far in aviation give reason to believe that the airways of today will be the highways of to- morrow. -Jollie Allen.

Tl-IE HIGHLANDER Kreilick Russell Moulton Harrington Appleyard Schumacher VValker Tanner Keiser The 1931 Football Season in Review OACH TIM BARRY was unusually fortunate this year in having only three places on the team to fill, and ten returning veterans. The missing links were the tackles and the fullback. hloulton, last yearis center, provided one of the tough spots in our line at left tackle, and Boyce, a reserve a year ago, filled the other hole in the forward wall. llackay, a veteran half, was moved to the vacancy in the back- field. The past season can well be called the best for State in many years. The high spots were the tieing of lXIarshall's champion aggregation, and the trouncings we gave our old rivals, Paw Paw and Allegan. VVe started strong with a 32-O win over Galesburg that gave the shifted men a try-out in their new jobs. On the following Friday we split with lilarshall, 6-6, in a game every bit as hard as the score sounds. hlarshall had the edge on ground-gaining, but not enough to keep our punters from holding them at bay until the last stanza, when they scored. Kreilick furnished a thrill and six points when he intercepted a pass and streaked seventy yards for our counter. Another tie game followed, this time a scoreless one at Plainwell in a steady drizzle of rain. Determined to get out of the rut, we gave Grand Haven a real battle, only to COIHC out on the short end of a 7-6 score. After two weeks of rest we went out to Paw Paw to help the rain spoil their home-coming. They broke into the scoring column in the first half on a break which netted two points, but aided by the sprinting of Russell and Tanner We came back after the intermission to score on a pass to Rychel, and push over the point with a clever ruse. This was undoubtedly the best game State ever played, when one con- Pagr Srfvrnfy THE HIGI-ILANDER I Sherwood Corsette Boyce Rychel Mackay Van Eck Decker Vanderberg Vande Laare siders smooth, cool football and fight. The fellows were out to break Paw Paw's long record of alumni day victories, and with clean, determined, and systematic play- ing, accomplished the seemingly impossible. VVhat seemed until the second quarter to be an affair like that of the week before, finally turned into a good workout in which everyone but the coach and cheerleaders played. VVe trimmed Decatur 34-0. VVe met our only class C defeat on a beautiful Friday, the thirteenth, at Buchanan, when, over-confident and completely outclassed and dazed by a snappy ver- sion of the famous Notre Dame shift, we let them set up a lead we couldn't break. Heartened in the last quarter by Bobbie Harrington's stopping a kickoff before it was fairly started, we ran the ends for six points and were passing our way to a possible tie when the gun ended the day's sport with the count at 13-6. Gunning for blood after the week before we went out and ran down Allegan to the tune of l-I--0. The shining lights of this fracas were our backfield's wide- awake defense against the dreaded Damoth passes, and lXIack's eighty yard center smash for a touchdown. The season officially closed on December sixth with a banquet in the Training School gym. It was the most enjoyed football banquet in years, with Coach Bud Hinga's talk on VVhy I VVant Bly Son to Play Football as the chief attraction. hir. Kreilick gave a brief statement explaining the parents' viewpoint of high school football. Coach Barry introduced and awarded letters to seventeen men, nine of whom are graduating this year. The festivities were brought to a close with the an- nouncement of Claire Keiser as the man to lead next year's squad through a season with equally as strong competition as was encountered this year. VVith eight varsity men and a host of reserves who could always give the regulars a scrimmage worth re- membering, he should turn in another splendid record. -Vincent E. Schumacher.

In the district and regional tourneys they gave the team that has the habit of winning state championships, St. Augustine, plenty to lose sleep over. THE GAMES Allegan, 23-State, l7. After leading into the second half, the pace began to tell on our squad. ln the last quarter, Coach Damoth inserted a lanky sharp-shooter who put the game on ice for the home town. Paw Paw, I3-State, 25. A greatly improved team went out and took its Hrst scalp with comparative ease. Decatur, I7-State, 25. Toward the end of close and wildly fought fray the carrot- topped scoring wizard was ejected on personals, which allowed the Preps to slip over a win in the Decatur cigar box. Sturgis, 9-State, 20. Our guests were slated to win, but seemed lost for most of the first half, and our defense was too strong to permit a comeback. Hartford, 15-State, 3-l. The second home game started out to be a good one, but turned into a rout as Hartford weakened. Plainwell, 29-State, 34. Coach Lundquist's five was primed to win and on several occasions nearly broke our winning streak. Page Srfvrnly-three TI-IE I-H61-ILANDER Holland Christian, 23-State, 28. The Cub win list was nearer disaster in Holland than at any other time. We finally nosed them out of a game in which ,both teams lost many valuable men through misdemeanors. Paw Paw, 8-State, 28. The Prep fast break was just too much for the Redskins. Allegan, 21-State, 32. Revenge is sweet, but erasing the only blemish on our record was sweeter. Decatur, 17-State, 31. Despite the best efforts of Red McWilliams, and his brother, who made one point, they couldn't win over a five man team. Plainwell, 22-State, 17. It seems that Kalamazoo high school teams weren't in- tended to make it ten straightg Plainwell turned the trick there. THE TOURNAMENTS After overrunning Comstock and Otsego in the preliminaries, we suffered our first loss in Kalamazoo at the hand of St. Augustine's record breakers, 19-15. Uncanny free throw prowess kept us in the game. We pushed eight out of nine through the mesh. ' In the regional finals we met the parochials again. Their smooth-running scor- ing machine had had some practice at the charity line, but even this didn't keep us out of the game. It was one of the hardest fought, most spirited contests ever to be seen on a Kalamazoo floor. Our reserve strength, previously a rather unknown quantity, was given an opportunity to prove its mettle and came through in fine shape after Russell and Carter, our greased lightning forwards, were sent to the showers via the personal foul route.

Root Loehr Dustin Walker Bero Vanderberg Dutton The Resume of a Record Breaking Track Season UR track team this year was built around the- relay team, the four relay men all being stars in other events. In the regional meet these men were largely re- sponsible for State's impressive victory. Together they hewed two seconds from the previous half-mile relay record, and Lornie tied the century mark, running against a stiff wind. Russell and Kreilick finished first and second in the two short sprints. An unexpected margin over Paw Paw was furnished by Tanner when he took first in both hurdle events. Carter, our laughing quarter-miler, loped through the tape well ahead of a large field. A new man on the track this year, Fred Blink, gave a good account of himself as he finished close behind lvloreland, of St. Augustine, who set a new mile record. - At the State meet the relay team ran the half mile in 1 :34.8, nine-tenths of a sec- ond faster than a nine-year-old record by Plainwell. The feature of this race was the fast passing of the baton by our men. Again, Carter, with no competition, romped across the line in advance of the field while Tanner was forced to take second in the lows from a fast boy from Caro, this year's champs. In another record smashing race, Blink placed fifth, to bring our score to an even fifteen. -V. E. S. C Page Sefventy-:ix THE l-IIGI-ILANDEP ,x Rychel H. Simpson Appleyard Bogue R. Van Eck Regional Tennis Champions FTER dropping several matches to schools out of our class, but drubbing those in our class, our team finished first in the regional meet by downing a strong Centerville troupe. Ernie Ryehel did a good deal of the heavy work in this tourna- ment, playing a total of one hundred and twenty games during the day. Harold Simpson, another State man, extended him to the limit in the finals, which went into three long sets. Jack Appleyard, captain, and consistent player for several years, will be lost by graduation, but for the most part, the rest of the squad will be playing next year. -V. E. S. I Pagr Scwcnly-sawn THE I-IIGI-ILANDER The Cheer Leaders ifllf cheer leaders have been a valuable asset to the school. A noticeable change has occured in the spirit of State High. The attendance at the games has im- proved caused by the cheering there. The cheer leaders and students have co-oper- ated in a fine manner.

I had been trying to get the study hall teacher to say Paul Kreilick to me all hour, so that I could come back with Mn Paul Kreilick to you . But no matter what I did, he just ignored me. So l rushed down the aisle and when I was half way down, I tripped myself. But, darn it, the teacher never said a Word. V Mary Alice Shackleton: I have led everyone to believe that I am going to a swell eastern college next fall. It's not true, though. The real truth is that I've already sent in my application to work at WoolWorth's lunch counter. Burt Moulton: Those colored glasses were the nertz . I wore them so that I could conveniently sleep in classes, and they served their purpose okay. I wore them on the street too. But in the rush to get them off one day, when I was trying to recognize a certain Miss Something or Other, I dropped them and they broke.

Page Eighty-ninf Tl-IE I-IIGHLANDER Judging the Books AMERICAN LITERATU RE By LONG EHE author of this book is merely trying to be funny. His main idea is to amuse the children who have to read this book, but his jokes are all stale. To make up for this, the class supplies the jokes. There are some excellent illustrations of famous poets and where they were supposed to hang out. The producers out West are thinking of filming this little novel. There are excellent parts for Frank Enstein and Greta Garbo. Before reading this book, I had some idea of what Poe wrote and also some of the other poets, but now I don't know whether Beethoven wrote Mid- summer Night's Dream or if Longfellow Wrote poetry or skits for Ziegfeld's Follies. One good feature of this book is the fact that there is an abundance of blank pages which provide excellent space for drawing pictures or writing words to popular songs. -B. F. M. FUNDAINIENTALS OF ECONOMICS By Hughes This book was purely inspired. The author got hold of a collection of ten-dollar words of which no one else knows the meaning. In fact, there is a doubt as to the author's knowledge of them. In the first few chapters a bunch of theories are given to the reader. In the following chapters exceptions are continually made to these same theories, until you are sure that they will never apply. The main theory is that the more you get of one item, the less you want. And the one place that it does apply is to this book. Fundamentals of Economics shows us how easy it is to make millions by graft 9 Don t Stop Now ! ! ! Continue your education, its value will grow in importance as the years go by.
