The class chose Carl W. Gustke to act as coach and Lois E. Donaldson as assistant. Mr. Gustke has taken leading parts in several of the University of Michigan’s plays and his experience in this line placed him as first choice for this year’s senior play coach. Miss Donaldson, while having no previous extensive dramatic experience, proved of valuable assistance to Mr. Gustke. To them, for their long and persistent work with the cast, belongs the credit for the success of the play. “The White-Headed Boy” is an Irish play dealing with a poor family who are sending their youngest son, Denis, to Trinity College. The lad fails in his examinations three times and the family, much against the will of th e mother, decides that he must leave college. They plan to have him go to Canada and strike out for himself; but to save their reputation they decide to give it out that he is going to a big position there. This means that Denis must give up Delia, his fiance, whom he was to marry as soon to be graduated from college. Duffy, Delia’s father, hears of the plans of the family, and, thinking Denis is going to a big position in Canada, says that if Denis does not marry Delia he will sue for one thousand pounds. ‘This startles the family and they tell him the truth, but he refuses to believe it. He gives them ten minutes for their answer. The aunt, Duffy’s old-time lover, agrees to pay Duffy one hundred pounds and marry him if he will drop the case. Not knowing about this transaction, George, older brother of Denis, pays Duffy two hundred pounds to drop the case. Then the mother, unaware of both of these transactions, gives Mr. Duffy a handful of bank notes to drop the case. In the meantime Denis and Delia get married. The family hears of this and at first they are angry because Denis is in work- ing clothes and has accepted a job with a street gang, - After a lot of coaxing the family finally get Denis to accept the position as manager of a shop, which the aunt was going to give to Denis’ brother, Peter. They also give him the money paid by the aunt, George and the mother to Duffy. Delia promptly takes charge ot if This places the family in a pogition so that Denis’ sisters are unable, for lack of money, to do what they were planning—Baby cannot go to Dublin and Jane cannot marry Donough Brosnan. Hazel Miller, in the role of Aunt Ellen, took the part of the ever-scheming aunt with a high degree of perfection. Carl Smith, Twenty-seven t if f i( Twenty-eight playing the part of Duffy, won the admiration of the audience for the splendid and forceful manner in which he _ took his part. Walter Banta, as Denis, and Margaret Meanwell, as the mother, were especially pleasing to the audience Baby, played by Mary Mosher, and Peter, played by Thomas Lawrence, proved their success by the laughter and applause they received at different times throughout the play. The parts of George, Kate and Jane were well taken by Harrison Welsh, Bernona Mohler and Beulah Hankinson. The minor parts—Delia Duffy, Donough Brosnan and Hannah—were taken by Elizabeth MHarwick, Emerson Stanley and Mary McCann. The play was given at the Wuerth Theatre May 1.- Music was furnished by the theatre’s orchestra. The receipts showed that the play was well attended, as over four hundred dollars was taken in. After the expenses were paid the amount the class made was slightly over two hundred and fifty dollars. Memories of 1923 Young Freshies were we in our first year at school; To us mighty Seniors did quote every rule; To them we looked green as the leaves in the spring, But it was not long before we could sing Hurrah! we are Sophs, our kid days have gone, Our wagons and dolls to the ages belong, Our teachers pursuaded us all thru the days To give up our playthings and improve our ways. Great was our joy when we Juniors became ; Hard did we try to teach the Freshies the “game,” Long was our task to show Sophompres the right— ‘Twas not easy for them to acknowledge our might; Till now we are Seniors so brilliant and wise Who’ve found many things that filled us with surprise Old Ypsi High is the best place to be And we'll always keep it in our memory. Chorus: Then here’s to our colors, the orange and black, A symbol to which we shall always look back; May “Y” be our standard as onward we go Pursuing our work started some timte ago.

The general causes of the campaign were worthy ones. They were, first, the fact that we were born to this life, the thread oi which Lachesis ever twists; second, the wish and will of our parents; third, the advice of friends; fourth, the desire to ally - ourselves with the just cause in the conflict against ignorance. The inymediate cause was the drafting of students by Ypsi1 High in the fall of 1919 and the eight grade certificate indicating that we had passed the tests and were eligible to service. September, 1919, marked the beginning of hostilities. With an army of over one hundred loyal troops we took our positions in rooms 309, 311 and 215, under the command of Miss Steere, Miss Lidke and Miss Van Drezer, the first letter as the basis for the classification into the three regiments. Our resources for the martial engagements were the good average, mental abilities and capacities, physical well being and an in domitable spiritual will to conquer. Many and varied were the auxiliary forces. In Algebra ABC, XY and Z dug trenches for us at different times, and ran the supply trains, all starting out at different hours, but always getting to the right place at the same time; invested their money in bonds at higher and lower rates of interest to furnish us financial aid, and estimated our distance from the enemy and success. Our English captains commanded us to fight with words, for, they said, “Kind words are more than bayonets,’ and we have found that words avail in the battle where swords fail. In the science laboratories we compounded chemicals to ward off the effects of disease, poisonous gases to destroy the foe, and tried to master many a formula under Ypsi High’s chemist, Mr. Ross. Room 315 was the location of the Kitchen Patrol, the library, evi, and. c labs: were =the .reereatinna) “centers, 101, the plan department. The domestic art department supervised the making and mending of our uniforms; our correspondence with home and foreign powers was promptly and ably taken care of by our commercial department, and during the four years’ campaigning many found time to learn the various languages of the foe. Our officers for the first year were ‘Theodore Hornberger, Margaret Meanwell, William Hayward and Katherine Boss. Twenty-nine er a a Ee EE — - Thirty Our most conspicuous success the first year was won by the girls’ legion through their power to hurl the missile, the basket ball. The second year, owing to several casualties, our number was slightly depleted, and we were all placed together in room’ 221, under Mr. Sias. From him we learned a great deal about military tactics. It was evident this year that Mr. Sias “knew the grounds,’ for not only did the girls again show their superiority in basket ball, but we also came out victorious in the battle of words, taking first and second places in the declamation contest. During the second year our officers were Robert Leland, Marion Kirk, Mary Mosher and Charles Baxter. Our third year we were divided into two goups for strategic purposes and more effective training. This move on our part showed good results, for we advanced to first place in scholarship and maintained this posityon throughout the year. So completely did we beat back the foe during the spring of 1922 that we suffered no attack for awhile, and during this cessation of hostilities all our interest centered on the J-Hop, to which many an ally of ours. from the other three classes was present. Our officers during our third year were Jack McLeod, Robert 3ird, Elizabeth Harwtck and Helen Spinger. During this, our fourth and last year, could be noticed a eradual withdrawal of the attacks of our foe, Ignorance, for he was now besieged from three other quarters by powerful enemties, and had to concentrate his strength in defense of the rear lines and on two wings, and our certainty of victory seemed victory itself. At the beginning of this year we changed our headquarters for the last time. We were put in the charge of Miss Hardy, who was constantly cn guard against gum chewers, those fierce allies of the enemy. Our officers this year are Carl Smith, Jack McLeod, Elizabeth Harwick and Charles Baxter. This year our football and basket ball teams have been ably captained by a senior, Aaron Scovill. Our recretional division presented a play, “The White-headed Boy,” which - was very successful. : A great part of our phenomjenal success in our great enter- prise was due to our persistence in working against the flood of Tenorance. We tried to “Row, not-Drift.” Margaret Meanwell. : ) M $ eae |) oreo gy a j Senior Class Will W | the class of 1923 of the Ypsilanti High School, in the Township of Ypsilanti and the County of Washtenaw and State of Michigan, being in poor bodily health due to four con- secutive years at hard labor; however, in sound and indisposing mind and memory, calling to mind the frailty and uncertainty of human life, and being desirous of settling our worldly affairs, and desiri ng how the earthly goods with which it hath pleased Fate to endow us shall be disposed of after our demise, while we have strength and capacity so to do, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making null and void all wills and testaments by us heretofore made. After commanding our imniortal spirit to Ypsi High from whence it came: Firstly, we direct that our funeral expenses be paid from the interest on our just debts. Secondly, to the class of 1924 we devise and bequeath the most cherished session room—namely, room 209; providing al- ways that the same airs of dignity and silence be maintained in said room by them as was theretofore held by us. And also the right to hold long overtime class meetings from 12:40 on, and to autograph as many of Miss Hardy’s geometry rulers as they may desire. Thirdly, to all U. S. history students we do hereby give, devise and bequeath a copy of The Revised, Condensed and Abbre- viated Essentials of U. S. History, compiled, revised and edited by Kenneth Strang. It has been stated by Mr. Sias that this little volume contains a great many things which might be inter- esting to note. Fourthly, we do devise and bequeath to David Bluny a bit of Carl Smith’s ability as an actor, and we are sure that if this talent is accompanied with the same vigor and perseverance as when held by the late Mr. John Duffy that he will be a second Sarah Bernhardt. Fifthly, to all those underclassmen who are scientifically in- clined we do devise and bequeath one volume of Professor Wendell Miller’s Basic Laws of Physics. Mr. Miller declares that these laws compiled and revised by him are more ancient than Kine “Tuts” collection of antiques. Sixthly, to Bob Leland we do _ bequeath. Jack McLeod’s splendid record in attendance with the sincere hope that it will help bring his own up to standard. Seventhly, to all girl physics students of next year we do give, devise and bequeath Margaret Meanwell’s ability and perse- verance to work experiments. Statistics show that Miss Mean- well has spent every third and fifth hour in the _ laboratory, conducting experiments along the lines of oscillatory vibration .—_ Thirty-one Thirty-two ? and sympathetic resonance. Itus to her that we owe the notorious discovery that a shoe horn produces foot notes. Kighthly, to Mr. Grimes we do give and bequeath a pair of large and powerful spectacles as a living token of our appreciation of his close watchfulness over us while lingering in the halls. Ninthly, to Harold Lonskey we do give, devise and bequeath Leroy. Staib’s ability as a student. We hope that he will especially excel in dramatics and public: speaking. Lastly, we do give, devise and bequeath to the Ypsilanti High School Museunj the following, to be known as the Thomas R. Lawrence collection: ° 1. A life-size bust of the aforesaid Mr. Lawrence. 2. One tinted portrait of Charles Wiard. 3. Several promissory notes, formerly held by Dorothy Hall, Mary Mosher and Anna Riley. 4. One pair of shoes donated by Harrison Welsh. 5. A splendid collection of diamond rings obtained from Dorothy Williamson. 6-- One -Victor -record:-of “Art”. Howard’s latest. song hit, “She’s the ‘Boss’ of My Little Home.” 7. One copy of “Dad Graichen’s essay on the virtues and vices of chewing gum.” | 8. One group picture of Bertha Hayes, Max Dolby, Dorothy Manseau, Kenneth Conktin, Mildred Bowman and _ Arthur Forche. aig 9. One can of Professor George Campbell’s latest product, discovered in the research laboratories of that great scientist. Mr. Campbell has made it possible to cross the milk weed and tomato plant, from which by gently tapping the stem the sweet . essence of tomato soup may be procured. It has been authori- tatively stated in the latest issue of Burbank’s Hybrid Gazette that this discovery will decrease the cost of living by 50 per cent. We do hereby appoint Mr. C. G.

Nicholas [senen. :y i N ee ga a Wi eee R IE Te oir mative etiaagpis Spake ‘perth as � nh Pe we a Senior Class Prophecy HEN I was chosen to foretell the future of the members cf the class of 1923, I- discovered, to my dismay, that all the available appliances for seeing into the year to come had been used in past prophecies. For weeks I racked my brain for a new invention, but in vain. I was growing discouraged, when it was suggested that I should use the simple method of concentration. As I stood one night beneath the open sky, meditating on what the future held in store for miy class-mates, I turned my eaze from the landscape to the heavens, where the myriad stars formed a fitting canopy for the earth. My attention was quickly riveted by a large green star close to the distant horizon. As I gazed upon it I felt a spell of overpowering fascination and a voice within me whispered that on this star was being enacted the scenes of the world twenty-five years from now. As I gazed at it on that memprable night if seemed. to call across the unthinkable void, to lure me to it, as the fame attracts the moth. My longing was beyond the power of frustration; I closed my eyes, stretched out my arms and felt myself drawn with the suddenness of thought through the trackless immensity of space. There was an instant of extreme cold and utter dark- ness, and as I opened my eyes I knew that I was in the Land ot ‘Tomorrow. | On looking around I discovered that I was standing on a narrow ledge, while before me was being enacted the futures of the graduating classes of many institutions of learning and finally that of the school which we soon will leave, but which we can never forget. It matters not how far we may roam, even to the far ends of the earth, always will we cherish some memory of our high school days. There first appeared before me a luxuriant jungle growth. At first it was so dense that I could distinguish nothing, but as my eyes became accustomed to the scene I was aware that several savages, cannibals by appearance, were building a fire under a huge cauldron. To my horror I saw Carl Smith in their midst, but before I could determine whether he was a missionary and had converted them, or whether it was on his account that the kettle had been put on to heat, the president of the cannibal republic, whom I immediately recognized as Gerry Stitt, ap- peared on the scene and the jungle faded from view, to be Ce en Se en eee a a Cae Sai Coan | ae aed = P a TeAP = a eee ee TN eee NE ee es Thirty-three SSS SS SS replaced by a scene more in accordance with modern civilization. Before me there appeared a large theatre and I noticd that the feature for the evening was “Perils of Pometheas,’ with an all- star cast, the leading characters being Elizabeth Harwick and Walter Banta, who had been playing together for the last twelve years. On stepping to the window to procure a ticket I discovered to my amazement that Bernona Mohler was selling tickets, and I was not surprised to learn that the theatre was one of the famous Signor playhouses. Once inside, I found myself gaz- ing at the advertisements which were being shown on the screen. The first was “After the show step around the corner to the East side Inn. We specialize in fresh frog legs raised by Wallace Hayden at his exclusive Rinky Dink frog pond. Proprietors, Briggs and Wilson.” ‘The next read “Tonsorial Parlors, Mani- curing and Massaging. Esther Murray, proprietor.” This was in turn removed and inserted in its. place was “Miller Studio, Service and Satisfaction guaranteed. Wendell Miller, photographer.” At this point I heard a rumbling noise and rushed out to the street to find the cause of the disturbance and was nearly run over by an auto that went flying by, and I recognized the driver as Frank Miller, who I found was tester for the Ford Auto Company. Remembering his ability with tests while in High School, I was not surprised to find him in that position. The car raised such a dust that I was nearly overpowered. Then slowly the cloud faded, leaving in its place a huge airplane factory with planes of all sizes sailing about it. I made my way to the owner’s office and found Dick Youngs seated at the desk, dictating to his private stenographer, Bertha Delaforce. She informed me that the factory had been previously used by ihe Rears and Soebuck Toothpick Corporation, but they had been forced to the wall by Graichen’s Fancy Flavored Toothpicks. I was also told that Mary McCann had been appointed postmistress of New York City by President Howard, who had entered a life matri- monial partnership with Katherine Boss. I started to ask for further information, when everything grew dark and I was standing before the White House at Washington. I was im- mediately received by President Howard, who informed me that four members of the class of 1923 were in his cabinet, Bertha Hayes being Secretary of War: Charles Wiard, Secretary of Thirty-four [—————— aa as SS Interior; Glen Seaver, Secretay of State, and Esther Peppiat, the Atom?! general. ‘The president told me that Paul Robson was now Mayor of New York. I left the White House and on descending the steps I noticed on a tall building a glaring inscription, “Try Strang’s Corn Cob Chewing Tobacco—Eventually, Why Not Now?” Farther dow: the street I behld an immense stone cathedral, from which were issuing strains of a wedding march. I entered the building and found Marie Stachlewitz playing the pipe organ. She told me that Mildred and Margaret Bowman had previously been singing in the choir, but they had been induced to take charge of a young ladies’ seminary at Saline, Michigan. I looked down the aisle of the church and beheld Beulah Hankinson, the bride, accompanied by someone who looked strangely familiar, although I was unable to recognize him. The bridesmaids were Edna Fisher and Gertrude Casler, while the best man was George Campbell. All three had climbed high on the social ladder and were now resting on the topmost rund. After the wedding ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Scovill, I rushed toward the bride, only to find the scene changed and sounds of a battlefield about me. On looking around I saw the United States troops charging the last Chinese stronghold under the leadership of General Max Dolby. The charge passed on and the Red Cross nurses came to look after the injured. Among them I discovered Dorothy Hall and June Pooler, who had given up her successful career on the stage to be near LeRoy Staib, who was General Dolby’s standard- bearer. | Obeying an impulse to turn around I was horrified to see two men training a large field gun on me. I resolved to meet my fate bravely and faced about, only to find to m'y relief that what I had mistaken for a gun was, in reality, a mammoth telescope. Thomas Lawrence, who was looking through it, was the inventor and John Baker stood beside him making mental trigonometric calculations. ‘They informed me that Charles Baxter was running a transportation company, and I saw that his work with the Ypsilanti Laundry must have been an inspiration to him. The scene again shifted and I found myself before the desk of the editor of the Rawsonville Clarion. The editor looked up from his work and I recognized Emerson Stanley. I learned thai Thirty-five Thirty-six besides editing the paper he printed all the copies of “Who’s Who in America.” I glanced through one of these and came to the name of Helen Springer. She had gained renown by traveling through Holland, in an attempt to persuade the Dutch to use windmills propelled by electricity. Martha Alban was entitled to a place in “Who’s Who” for her untiring efforts in taking up collections for destitute coal dealers. She had met with splendid Sticcess; as no one tad ¢yer heard Of a “coal dealer in need -or financial assistance. As I turned the pages to look farther I found in my hands a handbill for a great eight-ring circus. The managers of this great accumulation of artists were no other than Robert Blakeslee and Harold Bentley, who had previously been sole agents for the Detroit News and Free Press. Looking up I beheld the large tent betore me, while far above the noise of the crowd I heard the stentorian voice of Charles Beck, persuading the people to “step inside and see Fluffy—the only living speciman of the popular ‘Fluffy Bob’ coiffure of 1923.” I went inside and beheld: Mary Baker seated before an admiring crowd, dividing their attention with the world’s greatest glass-blowers, Beatrice Rey- nolds and Ruth Wheatley. Forcing myself inside the main tent I saw, whirling high above the ground, Dorothy Williamson and Bernice Miller in a death-defying aerial act. Beneath them, riding a wooden horse, was Jack McLeod, now the head clown of the circus. The ringmaster was our old friend, Helen Yost. In a corner, playing the steam calliope, was Albert Seekel, who had taken a special course in hot air production at Normal college. As I started toward him a blast of steam overwhelmed me and when I regained consciousness I was standing before a great body of water, watching an immense steamer coming into port. On the deck stood Francis Metevier, who was captain and owner.ot the treat beer: “Marys Lan. -The dest mate. was Paul Cook, and he was directing Kenneth Conklin and Harold Koch in polishing the brasswork. The chief cook on board was Marguerite Robson, who told me that Margaret Meanwell had written a complete history of the United States, which was far superior to the one which had been used in high school in 1923. The ship disappeared and instead of the lapping of the waves ! heard cries coming from behind me. On _ turning around I beheld a large farmhouse with a sign over the door reading: “Conrad’s Kat and Kitten Farm.” On entering I found Graeme Conrad seated at a desk entirely covered with orders for his best “Kitten Cutlets.’ Francis Avery was foreman and _ Evelina Chaffin had charge of delivering the picked product to New York. Occadionally a cat would become seriously ill and in that case Catherine Darby, the noted cat specialist, would do all in her power to prevent a death in the family. I reached down to. pick up a cat that was purring at my feet, and instead of finding the cat I was shaking hands with Dorothy and Gladys Manseau and congratulating them on their success in being re-elected to the United States Senate. They pointed out the way to the “Titus Tailor Shop,” where I found Gladys Titus at the head of a flourishing business. She was busy filling a rush order for Hazel Miller, who was to appear that evening at the leading theatre with Mary Mosher in Muriel Ollet’s latest production, “Sisters in Sin.” Several models were parading before a group of admiring customers and I recognized Anna Riley and Florence Gerick in dresses of their own design, which were in great demand. I went back to the street to find Geraldine Young doing a thriving business as a motorcycle cop. Only the day before she had arrested a man for speeding and found to her astonishment that it was Harrison Welsh, who was selling hair dye and using himself as a demonstrator. She had failed to recognize him because his famous blond locks had been changed to a raven hue. Just then a Ford went flitting by and gone were motorcycle and cop, while in their place was a news stand which was run by Clara Webber. She had held the position only a-week and was taking the place of Vivian Wolford, who was in the Beyer hos- pital under the expert care of Dr. Josephine Lechlitner and Elsie Hubacher, the head nurse. I bought a paper and started dowi: the street, but soon stopped before a large music store whicn advertised as a specialty the latest song hits of Marion Korbel. I looked at the paper I had purchased, and turning to the sporting page I saw a familiar picture before me, with the sentence, “Let George d o it.” I read through the column and finally understood that it was George Einar Hendrickson, who was pitching his last game of the season for the Tigers against Chicago, having de- feated them for four consecutive games. « «= Thirty-seven The paper dropped from my hands as my own future came into view, and I found myself standing once more on old mother | earth, thinking that only the future can verify or discredit what I saw on the Planet of Tomorrow. Arthur C. Forche. The Onward Way Two roadways stretch on before us, A High way—and a Low. And very soon must we decide Which way our feet shall go. Rugged and steep is the High way, Paved with ease, the Low, And pleasure there awaits one Where e’er he’ll choose to go. But the Low way stretches downward And failure is its end, While the High leads ever upward, Unmarred by delaying bend,— And though ’tis rough and rugged And hard for us to climb, Reward at its end will pay us For persistence, and for time. Of course, the way’s not easy, But patience will have its reward, And when at last the goal is reached We'll be knighted by Fortune’s sword. Now have we as a class arrived At the fork in the road, they say, And it remains for us to choose The Low—or the Upward way. Thomas 8. Lawresce: Thirty-eight sa Uae ee eS Senior Doings A CTvitlis of the Senior class began with the planning of the Freshman reception, which was held in _ the school gymnasium, September 15. The reception was attended by an | exceedingly large number—some three hundred and fifty. Besides the customary dancing, a program: of other forms of entertain- ment was worked in to advantage. Carl Smith, president of the Senior class, gave the welcome address to the Freshmen. A responce was given by Lucille Pink. During the course of the reception speeches were given by the new members of Ypsi High’s faculty. On October 20 the first class party of the year was given by the Seniors. The party was a Haloowe’en affair and was exceedingly well attended. | In order to increase the amount in the treasury, the Senicr class planned a series of movies to be given in the high school gymnasium. The first one was given January 26 and quite a sum was cleared. The second one, given February 23, was poorly attended and only enough taken in to barely clear expenses. After this movie the class voted to drop the movie idea and seek other means of raising money for the treasury. ] it . H . . i The first week in April the Senior class presented the first and only class chapel of the year. In conjunction with the chapel the Senior boys appeared in black shirts and orange ties and the girls with black and orange blouses. An _ interesting program was presented and met with approval of the entire school. “@ the snow came they changed their minds and had a sleigh ride instead. After an hour and a half of riding the class returned to the school and were served with refreshments. The Senior play, “The White-Headed Boy,” was given at the Wuerth theatre, on May first. The play was a decided success, -and over two hundred and fifty dollars was cleared by the class. | The class had originally voted to have a banquet, but wheti Thirty-nine Forty MARY MOSHER FARE YYELL ARTHUR FORCHE MARGARET MEANUWELL 7 PROPHECY ee RICHARD YOUNG A EEA E, WERDELL MILLER RALAITAT ORIAN ELIZABETH HARWICK PALER TR RIAN MARY RARER Sie TS LAWRENGE.

We had taken time by the forelock in electing our Junior class officers at the close of our Sophomore year, so that we were ready to start work immediately upon the opering of school.: Carl ‘Peay. and Louise. Rorabacher were re-elected «as president and vice-president respectively, while Dale Babcock was chosen as vice-president and Louis Marks as treasurer. Our first notable act of the year was accomplishe! after a scarce three weeks of school. The Board of Comtinerce offred a cash prize to the most attractive float exhibited at the Autumn Fesitval, and every room in the city was expected to participate. The result was a truly wonderful display of artistic ability, but when the judging was over there was no dwibt in any mind but that the Junior float from room 205 was the winner of first piace The prize was duly awarded in class meeting a few days later, viving us fifteen dollars with which to inflate our treasury. Spelling and pronunciation soon came as the first inter-class contest, but in. this we were forced to yield ficst place to our ‘elders, the Seniors, and to be satisfied with only second for our- selves. : A month later, however, we unfolded our intentions toward the cup by taking first and second places, and the resultant eight ‘points, in extemporaneous speaking. : In the inter-class basket ball games our boys carried off first ‘place; but our girls had to be content with a mere third. By way -of vengeance far the latter, we seized upon first and second places in the short story contest, and, in the oration contest held a little later, we showed the world that we were in good earnest by calmly taking all three places, with a consequent gain of nine @NOre: points. As the colors which we chose when Freshmen had since beer adopted as school colors, we were required to search for a new combination. Several enterprising members suggested black and blue as being a novel and attractive idea, and after many long and arduous class meetings they were chosen. Later, however, some of the 1 ss radically minded members declared their dislike to this striking combination and a change was made to blue and eray. The biggest social event of our. year was, of course, the J-Hop.- This was held in the Masonic Temple on April 6, and no expense was: spared. to preeure ihe. very latest. and best in decorations, refreshments, and music. All in all, it was by far the greatest event of its kind every attempted by a high school class. i iq — ae Ee .

Forty-nine Sophomore Class History THs marks the close of the second year of our high school career. It seems almost unbelievable, as we can recall how, just a short time ago, we were looking far ahead to the time we should become full fledged members of this “august assembly.” During the first week of September, 1921, we were very “important personages; but as no one seemed to realize this but ourselves, we soon sank into oblivion, grinding nobly to attain recognition by the mighty upper classmen. We, however, caused much comment later, especially from the indignant sophomores, by carrying off highest honors in several inter-class contests, closing the year with enough points toward the cup to cause many “miore learned ones” to take notice of us infants. Our executive leaders were: Mildred Pain, President; Frederick Weinmann, Vice-president; Lila Simons, Secretary ; and Manion Boss, Treasurer. In June of 1922 we closed a most pleasant year, vowing to come back as sophomores full of pep and make a desperate fight for the cup. This year in the spacious room, 221, presided over by, Mrs. Ervin, we have realized many of our desires.. In September, knowing we could not be unorganized, we chose for class officers: Frederick Weinmann, President; Jack Bringloe, Vice-president ; Ruth Latham, Secretary; and Helen Wilber, Treasurer. Robert Beal and Lorinda McAndrew were representatives to the Student Council. In October we carried off first and second places in the extempo. contest, although in spelling and pronunciation we fell down, capturing only third honors, but losing to our elders. However, our self-respect was regained in the volley bali contest, when we won the championship. Also, we fared well in both boys’ and girls’ basket ball, capturing second place with addition of a few more points. In declamatory contest we met our most bitter defeat, losing first place to the “kindergarten.” However, we will not dwell on this sad subject, but return to the fact that we won first place in attendance for the first semester. In February we gave the first party to be attempted by the class of °25,and to our delight and the wonderment of other classes it was a decided success. Many “thoughtful friends” have made _ frequent remarks about our class being “dead,” but surely those who have read this can not confirm that statement truthfully. Surely what we have lacked in spirit and pep has been doubly accounted for 1n friendliness. We sincerely hope in the two remaining years in Ypsi High to make a much better showing, if that is possible, and to get that big shiny cup if it’s all we do. | SSV1O NUWHSadd Fifty-two Freshmen Class Officers AUSTIN CONRAD, President MAXWELL AMENT, Treasurer LYNN HOLLEY, Vice-President JULIA QUIRK, Secretary Inter-class Contestants Spelling—Buford, Atkinson, Irene Hines, Beryl Brendel, Evelyn Smith, Merle Flick, Dorothy Baker, Edith Rhodes, Helen Burrell, Karl Kubin, Marion Vandersall.

Not knowing anyone or where to go, we wandered around the hall, trying to see where we could arrange a schedule to start our high school life and education. Everyone stared at us (we thought) and called us names such as “The Little Freshie,” etc. Our first taste of high school social life was the Freshie Reception. We were very royally greeted and were given little dollies and umbrellas to entertain ourselves with. Others werc given long rides in the country, but did not report how they re- turned. At our first class meeting we elected Austin Conrad Presi- dent; Lynn Holly, Vice-president; Julia Quirk, Secretary; and Maxwell Ament, Treasurer. At the same meeting we decided to pay fifty cents a semester for dues. Later we chose the class colors, which were blue and silver. Lucille Pink and Leo Borst were elected Freshmen representatives in the Student Council. , The first of the inter-class events were .tne spelling and pronunciation contest, which gave us a start on our long, hard journey. We managed to get second place in pronunciation and third place in spelling. We were noz very successful in the ex- temporaneous speaking contest, however, but Charles Hill won third place on “Choosing a Vocation,” giving us one more point toward the cup. Audrey Pray won first place in the declamatior contest and second place in the district contest, which was held at Plymouth. We have a very good basket ball team, consisting eof “Ralph Taylor, Huber Younes, Lawrence. (Ollett. Walter Millage and Lynn Holly. In the inter-class basket ball we woi1i second place; while the Juniors won first. With the large num- ber that turned out for the swimming meet, we were able to get first place. In the boys’ relay race our team, composed of Ralph Taylor, Charles Taylor, Austin Conrad and Robert Esslinger. wor first place. The girls’ relay team-—Eunice Hatch, Eleanor Bowen and Florence Harwick—received first place. Julia Quirk succeeded in getting two first places in swimming events—one In the back stroke and the other in the crawl. Florence Harwick got third in the breast stroke; Eleanor Bowen, third in the plunge; and Julia Quirk, third in diving. Ralph Taylor got first in the plunge; Austin Conrad, second; and Maxwell Ament, third in the breast stroke. Ralph Taylor won second place in the back stroke. We came close to the other classes in the number of points toward the cup, even though we didn’t win. One of the big social events of the year was the Freshman Party, which was held in the high school gym May 11. The gym was arrayed in the Fresman colors, and with the Michigan Union “five” furnishing the music, it was a splendid success. PL ae at BESS Oey ny ad aa , ‘ , cc s ae ae 2 .

Wert nae Paley School Activities Toe fame of Ypsi High seems to be spreading rapidly, for each year marks an amazing increase in enrollment over the former ones. This, the school year of 1922-23, has broken all previous records by a final enrollment of four hundred and seventy-five stu- dents. Of these eighty-four were Seniors, a hundred and two were Juniors, a hundred and ten were Sophomores, while one hundred and seventy-nine students made up the largest Freshman class which has ever entered. It is interesting to note that number in each class increases directly according to the youth of the class, showing that Ypsi High is certain of a steady growth throughout the coming year. We are proud of the fact that several of this year’s Seniors are new to Ypsi, having come from high schools in some of the surrounding small towns for the sake of receiving their diplomas from Ypsilanti. This helps us to realize the prominence which our Alma Mater has gained through her years of upholding high standards of scholarship. In January of this year, Superintendent Erickson received a letter from President Burton of the University of Michigan, congratulating Ypsi High for being one of five schools to have remained on the accredited list for fifty years. This is something of an honor, in that it shows what lofty standards Ypsi High has always maintained. Although the increasing number of students is gratifying, it has also proved to be rather inconvenient, as it taxes the building’s capacity to the utmost. Classes have for the most part been over- crowded, while it has been necessary to use the library as a session room. We trust that these difficulties will soon be overcome by the erection of a larger building, along with our much-needed and long-sought gymnasium. Clubs and | Societies The same system of clubs has been successfully worked out this year as was used the year before. Everyone in school was compelled to join some one club, but as these organizations num- bered over a dozen, covering every field of endeavor which might be of interest to the students, there was no difficulty in finding a suitable club for every student. An hour of school time was al- lowed each month for meetings, and many interesting programs were given. Aside from these, the more enterprising clubs held evening social meetings and day-time hikes which kept the inter- est particularly keen. The Budget System The budget system was adopted early in the year by a vote Fifty-seven i tf See eee seen Ta oe SE ee ee Seeger oo ees —_— ‘ — a an ae ee BS ES ge ee ee rene 9 TF I IT I IAAT} ifty-eight F —_ of a large majority of the students. This was something entirely new in school finances, and has certainly been successful during this, its trial year. Formerly, the Sem, school parties, athletics, and the like, were all self supporting, and separate charges were made for every event. Under this new system, however, Sem sub- scriptions and admissions to games and school parties are all cover- ed by a sum of two dollars a semester, payable at once, or at the rate of ten cents a week. This money is handled by the Student Council and is used to pay for athletic events, parties, and for the publishing of the school paper. This plan enables the students to secure their entertainment much cheaper than formerly, and pro- motes attendance and enthusiasm for all games. All-School Carnival As the money gained from the sale of budget books would not suffice to pay all the expenses incurred by the council, it has been resolved that a school carnival be held each year, the pro- ceeds to be given to the school fund. Consequently, this year marked the staging of the Second Annual All-School Carnival of Ypsi High. The school clubs put on different stunts, and as everyone in school belonged to some club, everyone had a part in making the — whole a success. One club served a cafeteria supper to all those wishing to come early, while others served refreshments at booths throughout the evening. Other forms of entertainment varying from plays and side-shows to real movies and a dance gave great satisfaction to the audience, who in turn parted with their hard-earned cash to the extent.ofzsome three hundred dollars. Ladies’ Home Journal Campaign Not wholly content with the proceeds of the carnival alone, the students now undertook a new line of money-making. Through an offer of the Curtis Publishing Company, the students were given the opportunity of securing subscriptions to the Ladies’ Home Journal. These subscriptions were taken at a dollar and a half each of which fifty cents was allowed by the company to go toward the budget fund. A representative of the company came out and organized the campaign, giving an illustrated talk on sales- manship and dividing the students into two teams to further com- petition, The campaign was held shortly before Christmas and many people subscribed not only for themselves, but for Christmas presents to their friends. The students worked well, canvassing the town thoroughly, and the result was an addition of over seventy dollars to the budget fund. | i Fifty-nine i ' “pee Ml ; ¢ Mi 1 ’ ; i 7 Assemblies An unusually interesting group of student assemblies was held this past year. There was one, of course, held shortly after the opening of school as a sort of general get-together and for the purpose of starting the Freshmen out in the way they should go. Mr. Grimes spoke for the facuity and Mr. Erickson and Mr. Cleary for the school board. The talks were all fine and inspiring, just the sort needed with which to start out right. In October, Professor R. Clyde Ford, of the Normal, talked to us about his summer trip to Europe, and particularly on the life of a French schoolmaster, Henry Favre, whose former home Pro- fessor Ford had visited during his travels. Favre was an un- known man until about fifty years of age, but from that time until his death at ninety, he was recognized throughout the world for his ability. The November assembly was the scene of the extemporaneous speaking contest, where the students were regaled with eight speeches on various subjects, to which an added interest was given through wondering what the results would be. Professor Brumm of the Department of Journalism of the University gave a particularly fine talk on achievements. He had spoken to the students before and kept up his reputation for getting his ideas across in an interesting, humorous way which proved so popular with everyone. The Senior assembly was perhaps the most novel and suc- cessful of the year. The whole class were decked out in their fad, the boys wearing black shirts and orange neckties; the girls ap- pearing in black blouses trimmed with orange. June Pooler and Katherine Boss, two of ’23’s best known songsters, gave an interesting duet and Elizabeth Harwick sur- prised everyone with her excellent work on the ivories. Mary Mosher sang two solos with her usual sweetness, while the boys proved that they were not to be musically outdone by presenting a male quartet whose existence had here-to-fore been unsuspected. The program was not entirely of a musical nature, however, for Miss Helen Rorabacher, an alumnus, spoke on “Looking back- ward to my high school days,’ and Louise Rorabacher talked on “Looking forward to being a Senior.” The Program was very joyfully concluded by the presentation of the cup won in the district tournament to the captain of the basketball team. Hortense Neilsen, the famous elocutionist, who visited Ypsi three years ago, came again and was kind enough to entertain our students at afternoon assembly. She gave “As You Like It” and several minor selections in a way that showed long study and much preparation.

The Freshman Reception, sponsored by the Seniors, headed the list. This proved to be the biggest welcome ever given a Freshman class, for over three hundred and fifty ai- tended. It was given in our own gymnasium, which was scarcely to be recognized under its gay decorations. Games were organiz- ed foi those not caring to dance and after the customary reading of the rules for Freshmen observance, little green be-ribboned dolls were presented as appropriate favors. One of the best all-school parties ever held took place just before Christmas vacation. Everyone attending brought a small gift of some sort, which were gathered together and distributed from a glittering tree. The committees had arranged novelties in the way of both eats and decorations, so that the party really was a great success from the entertainment viewpoint, at least. The J-Hop, which is always supposed to be the biggest social event in the year, quite lived up to all expectations. It was held in the Masonic Temple, which in itself is enough to make a school party distinctive, and the music and refreshments were really penvarkable. Toward the close of the year, the Freshmen resolved to ee the social world bow down in awe, and almost succeeded.- They at least proved themselves to be royal entertainers. The music was fine, and aside from the regular dancing, a clog was put on by two Freshmen girls. The Seniors concluded the list of social events by giving a King Tut party as their farewell. This as the name suggests, was something entirely new as to entertainment and decorations, and proved a successful close for the parties of the year. Conventions Delegates from each class attended the Older Boys Conference at Battle Creek, bringing home many ideas of a nature heipful to school life, Several boys on the Agricultural course accompanied Mr, Laidlaw to the International Stock Show at Chicago, where they saw and heard much concerning their line of work. The Sem and Dixit Staff attended the Press Association Con- ference at Ann Arbor in the spring. School editors from all over the state met to discuss the common problems of editing school publications, and men from the University gave talks and advice which will prove helpful next year to the staff. This concludes the summary of a few of Ypsi High’s activities during this, the year of 1922-23, and may it be carci hered as one of the busiest, happiest, and most helpful years. ever experienced, Sixty-three Ee crt ne ne THE STUDENT COUNCIL ixty-four S Student Council HE, Student Council has closed its second successful year in Ypsi High. Looking back to see what it has accomplished there is absolutely no doubt but what it is_ beneficial to the school. ‘The officers elected for this year were: Arthur Howard, president; Mary Mosher, vice-president; Katherine Boss, secre- tary; and Robert Blakeslee, treasurer. For class representatives to the council the Freshmen elected Leo Borst and Lucille Pink; the Sophomores, Lorinda McAndrew and Robert Beal; the Juniors, Ruth Leland and Don Palmer; and the Seniors, Margaret Meanwell and Wendell Miller. Under the leadership of Arthur Howard many projects have been successfully carried out. Probably the first thing attempted was the All-School Carnival, which was put on about the middle of November. ‘This was a decided hit and about three hundrea and fifty dollars were cleared for the benefit of school athletics and the Sem. This year the board system, though. never put into actual use, was discussed and it is believed that it will be instituted next fall. The system provides for the division of the council into various boards, such as a board of finance, a_ board of athletics, a social board, etc. The Student Council has also been of great aid in working to perfect the budget system. They listed all events of each semester, put down the cost of each individual event and ther showed how much a student could save by buying a budget ticket. A campaign was organized and each session room can- vassed. Two parties were given each semester, the price of which was included in the total of the budget book. The parties given were some of the best of the year and proved popular with the students. This spring, because the finances were running rather low, a drive was held to sell athletic tickets for seventy-five cents that entitled the holder to admission to the scheduled baseball games. This call was responded to loyally and enough money was received to carry through the program as planned by the council at the first of the year. The election by the council of an athletic manager and assistant for each of the four major sports has been successfully tried this year. In reward for their services the manager receives a and as assistant aa “R:” ; 4 i tall Sixty-five X ‘ dub SN eapse KT cnet a ER PE TNS — cease ees se A TCT LT TE TC LEI TL LT LL LLL IE A = (Photo by Camp) ’S DREAM A STUDENT ixty-six Sixty-eight CARLISUE G.2 BIGGER Coach Bigger, with an _ inex- perienced squad, worked faith- fully and. prodmeced..a- -track squad that was better than ex- pected..

Max Dolby Class of 1922 Athletic Cup Won by Max Dolby PT HE Senior Athletic cup, a memorial of last year’s graduating class, was won by Max Dolby. During the course of his Senior year he played in the back field on the football team, was manager of the basket ball team, captain of the baseball team and was on the track squad. He received four points for football, three for basket ball, four for baseball, and three for track, mak- ing a total of 14 points. Scovill was a _ close second, having ceceived points for football, basket ball and baseball. The purpose of this cup is to create a strong interest in school ‘athletics throughout the four years of high school and to award the one who has accomplised the most for Ypsi High in inter- scholastic athletic activities. The name of the winner and the class to which he belongs is engraved each year on the cup. It is a high honor—in fact the highest athletic honor that is awarded to a high school student, and one who has accomplished as much in athletics as Max Dolby certainly deserves the highest possible honors. a Sixty-nine enya oo a ee ee ae en ee =e _— ey - —se-- —egege = bid “ya x ATHLETIC BOARD — fet ae) as a = Neeenne ee eee eerieneenemmmmnmetaninamneeenrercamenen penn nS Sn ES, | A Athletic Season Tt would seem strange when reviewing an athletic season not to say that it was a success. This is not an exception and it would be far from true to say that this season has been a failure. Of course, it depends entirely upon the point of view as to how the terms success and failure will be construed. Examining it from the standpoint of victories and deteats, :t may appear that Ypsi High has not upheld its lofty standards ; but it is not only the number of victories and defeats that de- termine how successful a season has been. An army may win a battle and not be faithful to the cause; and likewise, a team may win a victory and not be faithful to the school and the student body. “Tie ‘season has been a success if those who represented the Purple and Gold, in victory and defeat, were worthy of the privilege granted them; if they at all times, win- ning or losing, upheld the highest possible standards of sports- manship. ‘Ihe season has been a failure only if the teams failed to observe those principles. One of the notable features of the year was the increase 11 school sport that prevailed throughout the season. When the call was issued for football candidates, instead’ of merely a few responding as in past years, a large number reported for prac- tice. It is also repeated in basket ball, baseball, and track. The system of athletic managers was introduced and met. with splendid success. The Student Council chose a Senior boy for each sport who received a letter and points on the athletic cup. This system relieves the coach of a great number of details which he otherwise would have difficulty in performing. It is the manager’s duty to keep a daily record of practice, and he is also responsible for all equipment and ‘supplies. Robert Blakeslee was chosen for football manager, Max Dolby for basket ball, Harold Bentley for baseball, and Thomas Lawrence for track. 7 With the purpose of starting the season right, new football suits and other equipment was purchased. These were purple and gold, the school’s new colors. The effect of this was a large squad which reported daily, striving for the honor of wearing the Purple and Gold. Due to the fact that the team was new and inexperienced, only a few of the scheduled games were won. Basket ball was more successful, and although only about half the scheduled. games were won, consistent ‘practice, a..de- termined effort, and splendid coaching won for Ypsi High the basket ball championship of Southeastern Michigan. Baseball practice was started with only a few letter men and no experienced pitchers. That has been the hardest handicap of the baseball season. . “ % Seventy-one - Seventy-two ie | 2 Football HANDICAPPED by the loss of eight letter men, the lack of Ypsi High’s much-vaunted fighting spirit, and with- out. the .roncentercd ‘support of the student body, Central won only two games, tied one, and lost seven. The first game with Wayne was lost by a fumble in the final quarter. The first three quarters resulted in nine points for Ypsi and six for Wayne. Leland made a 75-yard run for the first counter and a safety brought the total still higher. But for the want of three stayed at Wayne. Highland Park increased their scor- ing percentage and ambushed Ypsi High for -a 34-0 slaughter. “Fhis. was bit “a repetition of the Ann Arbor game of last year, an experienced team “against an « iexperienced : ‘team. «Carl ““etay, Central’s plucky end, was obliged to dis- continue football because of an injured hand, two fingers being broken during the Highland Park game. CAPTAIN SCOVILL The next game resulted in a victory over Birmingham. This was the first game in thirteen that had been won by Ypsi in the past two years. It appeared in this game that a little fighting spirit had been injected into the team, but the following proved the contrary. Dolby made the only counter in the game when he gathered in Fidler’s pass and ran ten yards for a touchdown. Marks was the outstanding star for Ypsi and Scovill showed no respect for family ties in the manner in which he hit the Birming- ham line. Windsor took Ypsi’s count with a score of 14-6. In this game especially the lack of fight was apparent. The only consolation was the fact that the result had no effect on the South- eastern League standings, as the Canadians played ineligible men. The next defeat came when Royal Oak handed Ypsi a 23-0 defeat. Coach Roth started the game with five second team men, and it was during the time these men were playing that the points were scored. When, in the second half, the first team was put in, points a game was lost, and the bacon Seventy-three —s ° Seventy-four = © neither team scored. This demonstrated the fact that if these men had started the score would have been far different. The only tie game of the season was caused by the lack of a few minutes to play. Although Ypsi played a winning game, luck was with Wyandotte, and the final score was 0 to 0. At no time was Ypsi’s goal endangered. The second and fourth periods were especially unlucky for the ‘'Centralites. In the second quarter Dolby intercepted a pass and advanced to Wyandotte’s 28-yard line. Consistent gains placed the ball on the five-yard line, but the whistle blew with a goal in view. Again in the second half Dolby’s drop-kick sailed just a few inches outside of the goal. University of Detroit High plowed through the mud of U. of D.’s stadium and nailed another defeat on Central’s goal posts. They piled up 33 points, while Ypsi received a blank. With the purpose of keeping in trim} for the Thanksgiving day frolic with the Alumni, Central traveled to Plymouth and again went down to defeat. Ypsi had many chances to tie or even win the game, but they were all wasted, and the result was that-Gentral was beaten: by an inferior teant. Central’s hilltop: rivals were défeated 19 to 0. Central entered the game with an indomitable spirit and completely outplayed the Normalites. Normal High did not make a single substitution during the game, while Coach Roth started the half with’ five second string men on the lineup. The post-season game with the Alumni marked another defeat for the wearers of the purple and the gold.. Dolby, Scovill and Gunn starred for Central, while Brown and Haggarty played best for the grads. | i The work of Coach Roth is worthy of mention in connection wtih Ypsi High’s football season..-A vetéran. player -himself,: he worked diligently to overcome the faults of the many green and awkward players. His work, in the short time he has been here; proved that with a little time he could make championship teams for -Yopsr Thich. The season developed some good players, players that will be useful. to the school next year. -Better things are: looked’ for:; defeats will be offset by defeats; -and the fine standards.-of sportsmanship that marked the team of ’22 will be maintained. Seventy-five Seventy-six Football Reserves yp us year, for the first time, there were sufficient candidates who reported for practice to carry a second team and several reserves throughout the entire season. This was a great benefit to the first team, as in former years they were forced to go through the schedule with hardly a practice scrimmage. Although no schedule was set for the second team, they played two games,—one with Ann Arbor Reserves and another with the Wayne Reserves. Even though the Ann Arbor team was much heavier and more experienced, they were held to a 13 to 0 score. The Wayne Reserves were beaten 7 to 0. Youngs made the touchdown and drop-kicked goal. In this game the Reserves displayed a fighting spirit that was apparently lacking in the first-team: Not only did the Reserves give the first team some splendid practice, but it also gave Coach Roth an idea of what to expect for next year’s team. Several players were developed who un- doubtedly will represent the Purple and Gold in the season of 192 3, It is altogether possible that Youngs, although small and light, will develop into a first-class quarterback. Holly and Anderson will make valuable ends, while Powers and School- master are a pair of guards that are almost invincible. Stitt, Signor, Gates, Hatch and Wallace will also go to help make up next year s teagan. te) ———— a — — — eS, tt IX WA se we . = ; to ca, { 7 “ iS $40 % 1425: — GiLe) x 4 - Pca «tone BF | Gi @ _ a7 ae | Le vepeuer A ea rer 34 — ae a j v6 t — Basket Ball “ svr- HEN the call was issued for basket ball candidates the Renaissance of school spirit was displayed in the number of eager aspirants who turned out for practice. These students voluntarily promised to give up all. nocturnal forms -of-- entértainment: and pursue the bounding leathern sphere. Even those who failed to make either the first or second squad are to be commended on their splendid spirit. On January 5th Ypsi played and lost the first game to Birmingham, :32 to 13. Coach Drake’s team, in mid-season form, forced the attack all the way, and at no time during the game was the result in. doubt. Central won the second game by defeat- ing the strong Wyandotte team 19 to 13. It was mainly a defensive game, with the visitors tossing at the basket from the middle of the floor. The Purple and Gold basketeers went down to defeat at the hands of the Flint Central quintet, 21 to 13, after having led the game until the last period. Central’s passing was too slow tc be effective, although it worked to a good advantage on several occasions. Central was only. three points behind. in the last quarter, when Flint began to shoot from the center of the floor, netting enough counters for a good margin. Royal Oak was met and defeated Friday, February 2, on the local floor, 27 to 19. This was one of the best games of the season and the scoring was close until the last few minutes. At this game the five-man defense proved its value for the first time. The fourth Southeastern League game was lost to Mt. Clemens, -1.to 12. The Central cogers were: at a cisaqvantage because of the size of the playing court. Normal High won the little-brown jug by taking the long end. of an-1s to. 1d s¢ore. Monroe succumbed to Central’s attack, 19 to 13,. and the schedule was completed when Central accepted the short end of a 23 to 10 count from Windsor. In the Southeastern District tournament Central took first place by successfully defeating Marine City, Howell, Monroe, and finally Birmingham.

CAPTAIN FIDLER oe ae eS Seventy-seven Seventy-eight BASKET BALL TEAM “Susie” Scovill, who was awarded the captaincy aiter Fidler was declared ineligible, was the mainstay of the team, Scovill showed how to cage the long ones when they were needed and was one of the main factors in the success of the team. As he will not be with the team next year his loss will be felt keenly by both coach and players. Fidler, although declared ineligible before the schedule was completed, proved his value as a capable captain and guard and should be a reliable man next year. z Bob Leland, who did not report for practice until the second semester, gained recognition for his ability as a foul shouter as well as a dependable forward. Marks, at forward, scored more field baskets than any other member of the team and will be back next year, a star on Central’s quintet. Hayden, center, deserves recognition for defensive work, always on hand to break up an opponent’s play and ready to slip the sphere through the loop when the paints were most needed. Hayden is a member of this year’s graduating class and his pisition will be a hard one to fill. Pray was awarded a position on the first team to take Fidler’s place, and he removed any doubts that may have been in minds of the students as to his ability to fill his position. : eo) Basket Ball Reserves PT HE school is indebted to the second team for the success of the regulars. Without them the splendid defence could not have been perfected; without them a winning team could not have been turned out. With next year’s team in mind, Coach Roth decided that ne seniors would be allowed to play on the second team. As a result the entire squad of resérves will be available for next year's quintet. Several games were played by the team, most of them with. che Sunday. School. Legeue,.. “Phevdeteated —the strong Methodist team, league champions, by a score of 18 to 11. The St. Mary’s quintet of Chelsea, state. lightweight cham- pions, defeated the Central Reserves by a score of 18 to 3. Chelsea had a light, fast team that was capable of putting up a fine game of basket ball Young developed a keen eye for the basket, and with a little more size and experience should make a very successful player. Wiard, at center; Schraeder, left forward, Wier, Dickerson and Avery will all be available next year. | Seventy-nine elt Cy SOUTHEASTERN DISTRIC? CHAMPIONS Eighty Baseball LPANDICAPPED by the loss of many of last year’s nine, Coach Roth built up a commendable baseball team. Many candi- dates reported for practice and an excellent squad was selected. Had it not been for the lack of veteran pitching material, more games would undoubtedly have been won. Hendrick- son, who graduates this year, was Central’s chief moundsman. He performed creditably for a first year man and his loss will be felt keenly by the team. The first tilt of the season was lost to Windsor, the Canadians taking the game by a ten to eight score. Central led eight to one till the eighth inning. Hendrickson weakened in this inning, but if a twirler of equal ability had been available the game would have 3 easily been won. The second game was also lost, the victory going to Royal Oak as a result of Peck’s air-tight pitching and the sandlot base- ball diamond, so named by the suburbanites. Central was able to obtain five hits throughout the entire game and the Oaks won thirteen to nothing. The invincible Peck eliminated eighteen by the strike-out method, while Hendrickson struck out but one, and Dolby, who was substituted in the seventh, struck out two. The third game was Central’s first victory, which was gained by defeating Wyandotte twenty to nineteen. This was the only game of the season which was played overtime. In the overtime period the Purple and Gold brought in a single run while Wyan- dotte was unable to score. Dolby proved his worth as a pitcher, allowing but two hits after he was substituted in the fourth inning. Mt. Clemens took the next game, winning by a score of eleven to three. Gutshow pitched splendid ball for the Bathers, allowing but three hits. Hendrickson’s twirling was not up to his usual standard and the support afforded him ‘was not the best. Coach Drake’s team from Birmingham were outscored in the last home game, eight to three. This was undoubtedly the best game of the season and but one error was made by the locals. Hendrickson pitched a good game and it would probably have been a shut-out had not an inexperienced catcher been substi- tuted for Conrad. Only. five of this year’s baseball squad will not be back next year. Captain Dolby, second baseman and pitcher; Hendrickson, pitcher; Conrad,;: catcher; Strang, fielder, . and. Scovill, utility fielder, all graduate this year. Rina eee Oe a RETINA, ee er one BASEBALL TEAM Dolby was the most experienced player on the team, having played baseball since he was a Freshman. He is a reliable hitter, a good second baseman and an able pitcher. He has participated in every game for the last three years and in his position as cap- tain has proved himself worthy of the honor bestowed on him. Hendrickson, although a first year man, pitched in every game of the season, and if he had played baseball last year he would have been a pitcher of considerable repute this season. Strang, in the outfield, has had two years’ experience and was the most valuable man in the outfield. Not only was he an able fielder but he was a steady hitter and a clever base-runner. Conrad, at catch, was one of the best receivers in the South- eastern League. He has served two years behind the bat and Central will be at a loss to find a capable man to fill his position. Scovill was another first year man, and although he did not get in every game he proved himself able to get a hit in a pinch and to take care of his section of the field. The loss of these five valuable men means that next season five more men must fill their positions. There are many in high school who are capable of playing a fair brand of baseball and it is hoped that next season sufficient material will be available to fill the gap left by those loyal players who no longer can represent the Purple and Gold. Eighty-two =e; —— nt ae { ti iS ices i ivy ae aan i ay = ‘Track OR the first time in the history of Central High an organized track team was formed under the direction and coaching of Mr. Bigger. A comparatively large squad reported for practice at the be- ginning of the season. Cross country running constituted the early practices, after which the regular work outs were held at the Normal track. There were three interscholastic track meets scheduled, but, owing to adverse weather conditions, the meets with Plymouth and Monroe were combined and Central was able to obtain but third place with twenty-five points, Monroe took second with thirty- three points, and Plymouth first with fifty points. Eight Ypsi men placed in the meet. Tite iaterclass. track nreet, 2 eaiuat BH of both the boys’ and girls’ meets, was won by the Sophomores. The Seniors took second place and the Juniors third. In the boys’ meet the Seniors took first but at the Sophomore meet the girls took first in the girls’ meet, the final average gave the contest to the class of ’25. The Southeastern League Track Meet was held June 9, but as the Dixit went to press before that date, the results were not available. The schools entered were Bitmingham, Royal Oak, Mt. Clemens, Wyandotte, Walkerville, Windsor, Monroe and Yp- silanti Central. It is hoped that with such a good start track will be continued and raised to the same level as baseball and the other major sports. oO ighty-three . Eighty-four Girls’ Basket Ball HE Central High School girls’ basketball team was organized by Miss Armstrong. Under her able coaching, the team develop- ed a splendid passing game. Although they played but one game, defeating the alumnae girls 27 to 15, there is no doubt that the team had the ability to defeat other high school teams. Helen Wilber as captain was probably the best all around player, making baskets from any position on the floor and was a dependable foul shooter. Marion Dignan and Muriel Ollet with their excellent passing and Phyllis Brooks with her ciose guarding were the other out- standing players. It is hoped that in the near future a regular girls’ basketball team will be formed to play other high school teams. Many other schools with no better material than that at Ypsi High have gained an enviable record with their girls’ teams. § { eee The Score Board Schedules for Next Year FOOTBALL Central 9 Wayne I2 Central e Highland Park.-32 Central 6 Birmingham O Central 6 Windsor 14 Central o Wyandotte O Central o Royal Oak 23 Central I9 Normal High aes Centra. 28 Plymouth 12 Central o U, D.

It co-operates with the high school as a whole in any enterpmise in which its assistance is needed. A point system is used in earning an emblem. There are - certain feats which are sufficiently difficult’ to. warrant credit. These must be passed upon by the instructor and points then awarded. The feats are divided into several classes: sportsmanship, scholastic standing, physical and medical examinations, attend- ance, leadership, gymnastics, apparatus, jumping, distance throw- ing, hiking and track. Another emblem is awarded for swimming, diving, and life saving.

The pur- pose of this corps is to train boys who are especially interested in apparatus work; to develop leadership on a higher basis; to carry on a much larger program of physical education than would otherwise be possible, and to interest the boys in physical education as a profession. The director of the boys’ gymnasium classes instructs the leaders in the work, who in turn instruct the different squads of Loys who come to the particular piece of apparatus the leader is working on. In this way much more can be accomplished in the class and more interest can be developed among the boys and the leaders of the different classes. The following boys have been in charge of the following pieces of apparatus: | | Mats—Lawrence Ollett, Warren Bailey. Box—John Beck, Ephraim Truesdell. Ladders—Allen Stitt.

The points were awarded as follows: Three points for mak- ing a school debate team; three points for editor-in-chief of school publication; two points for associate or school editor of school publication; one point for a minor position on literary staff of school publication; three points for representation in an inter- scholastic oratorical contest; and three points for representation in an inter-scholastic declamation contest. The cup “will be-awardednext year: to . the. Senior who receives the highest number of points during this year and next year. The following year the cup will be awarded the Senior having the highest number of points for three years, and from then on the cup will be awarded the Senior who receives the highest number of points during his four years of high school. Ninety-one EMERSON STANLEY HELEN SQUIERS THELMA MARTIN CARLISLE G. BIGGER LOUISE RORABACHER Affirmative Debate ‘Team Fok the first time in several years Ypsi High has been for- tunate in having a regular debate coach. Carlisle G. Bigger, a newcomer in the ranks of our faculty, has had charge of the debate teams this year, and, considering the material he had to work with, he has done splendidly. Trials for the all-school teams resulted in the selection of Helen Squiers, Louise Rorabacher, and Emerson Stanley for the affirmative team, with Thelma Martin as alternate. The affirmative team won the debate with Monroe by a two to one decision and lost the one with Ann Arbor by a three to nothing decision. Considering that all the debaters on this team had had no previous debating experiences, this has been a remarkable show- ing. Since only one member of the affirmative team is graduating this year, and with the experience now gained by the other two members, Y pst High should have an-excellent- team next-year; and they will stand a good chance of qualifying in the state finals. Fi BERTHA HAYES MURIEL OLLETT EMERSON STANLEY CARLISLE G. BIGGER ARTHUR FORCHE Negative Debate Team MI Bigger, ‘who -eaches.English and ‘Expression in Ypsi High, coached both debate teams and certainly turned out two teams of which the school may well be proud. The group originally picked for the negative team consisted of Muriel Ouett; Berta Hayes, and Robert Hatch, with Arthur Forche as alternate,. Because of the illness of Bertha Hayes, Arthur Forche took her- place: Later Kobert - Fatch moved to. California. thus leaving only two on the team. Emerson Stanley had done good work-on the affirmative team and -was asked to act as third speaker on the negative team. The negative team never had a chance for actual. debate. in the district tournament for the state finals, as the two contests that they were scheduled for had both been forfeited to them. They had only a practice debate with Normal High, in which there was no decision. Twelve paints were required for entrance into the state finals, counting on the basis ef one point for winning a debate and one point for each decision of a judge. Ypsi High lost out by only one point, having eleven points altogether. It is hoped that next year’s team will have better luck and qualify to enter the debates for the state championsbip. i Ninety-three LOUISE RORABACHER Miss Rorabacher won first place in the Inter-class Ora- torical contest and. reccived third place in the sub district contest held at Plymouth April 6. AUDREY PRAY Miss Pray won -fitet place in the Inter-class Declamation contest -in Ypsi High and car- ried off second place honors-at Plymouth in the _ sub-district contest held April 6. Ninety-four Teachers’ Plays ON April 4 the annual teachers’ plays were presented—this year in connection with the Ypsilanti Players. Two one-act plays were given. The first play, “The. Valiant,” written by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemass, was done in a decidedly _ artiste manmers. “The: cast of characters. wasas follows- The warden, J. O. Grimes; the priest, J. M.� Hover; the jailer, Charles B. Cleary; the girl, Mrs. John Brooks; and Dyke, Quay Beyer. The story tells of a boy, convicted of murder and condemned to die, who is visited just before his execution by his sister, who has seen his picture in the papers and believes him to be. her brother. Because he didn’t wish to disgrace her and his mother, he refuses to reveal his identity. When he is visited by his sister he still denies he is her brother, but says he was her brother’s buddy during the war and saw him killed. The girl 1s then led away and Dyke marches off to his doom, uttering the words: “The valiant never tastes of death but once.” Quay Beye1,. in his role of Dyke, was perfect, while Mrs. Brooks, playing opposite him, was excellent in the difficult part she acted. Mt: Grimes made an admirable warden, while both Mr. Hover and Mr. Cleary were good in their respective roles of the priest. and the jailer, The play was coached by Gare4y Gusike; aid aed of its success belongs to him. The second play given was “The Dear Departed,” by Stanley Haughton. This was the exact opposite of the first, which was a tragedy, while this one was packed full of humor. When the curtain goes up the grandfather of the family is belteved to be dead by his daughter and husband, with whom he _ has been living. They are now expecting the grandfather’s other daughter and her husband, so they begin moving some of the things they liked out of the grandfather’s room into the living room before the other relatives arrives When they finally do come they 1m- mediately quarrel about how the belongings should be divided. As a climax, the grandfather himself appears, and, when he finds out the real cause for the quarrel, each family trying to make the other let him live with them, he announces that he will no longer be dependent on either of them, as he is to be married the next day. | The parts-of the daughter, her -husband, and their. child, Victoria, with whom the: old gentleman was residing, were ex- cellently portrayed by Miss Densmore, Mr. Jickert, and Miss Kelly. Mr. Sias and Miss Meyer were the other relatives and both of them did their roles justice. Mr. Schimel made a very good grandfather and was much applauded. His. whiskers stayed on with some difficulty. Miss Lois Donaldson very ably coached this play. Eee Both sketches were decidedly successful,: and the faculty deserves much praise.for their work. | ee a a ae ae ee af bar Ninety-five y Ninety-s i x CHORUS ad a Chorus HIS is the close of one of the biggest years in the history of the High School Chorus.. Perhaps for the last time Mrs. A. G. Erickson directed the chorus. She has been a great help to the school, and it has been a pleasure for those who were under her direction to have her with us. In September the usual testing of voices occupied about two weeks; and then, to get us wide awake, about three weeks were spent in singing old familiar songs. The enrollment was about eighty. This year for the first time a double quartet was started. Some difficult work has been accomplished by this organization, and it is hoped that it will be continued. The following make up the quartet; Helen Squiers and Gladys Bayler, sopranos; Beulah Hankinson and Marjorie Hubble, altos; Francis Whipple and Harold Koch, tenors; Aaron Scovill and Gordon Wiedman, basses. Another musical organization which proved successful this year was the Girls’ Glee Club. Only girls who did the required amount of conscientious work were allowed to remain in the club, and as a result some real music has been given. At the Christmas chapel a cantata was given. Besides singing for organizations outside of school, they sang at the teachers’ plays and the High School commencement. Although the High School Orchestra is probably not included as a part of the chorus, something ought to be said about its splendid work. Starting under the direction of Mrs. Erickson, this promising group has been a success. Later in the year Mr. Edward Mosher, a member of the Normal Conservatory of Music staff and a graduate of our own High School, took com- plete charge of the organization. They have played at different times throughout the year, playing at the teachers’ plays and commencement. About the first of January Miss Evelyn Weinmann took complete charge of the supervision of the music of Public Schools and direction of the chorus. She continued the work of: Mrs. Erickson on the High School opera and directed the chorus when the opera was given. Music for the commencement exercises was given by this chorus. | On the whole the work of th e chorus this year has been a decided success. Much credit should be given to those who helped in the musical organizations of our high school. Our hope is that we may be able to give-ever more extensive things in the coming year.

This was given at the Wuerth Theater May 8 and is considered one of the best that the composer has produced. The work on the opera was started late in the first semester under the direction of Mrs. Erickson. A few weeks later Miss Weinmann took up the work. The opera was the big event of the chorus and proved a real success in all ways. | The cast chosen were “O Sing a Song,” Mary Mosher; “Harry Cortcase,” Arthur Howard; “Fateddo,” Aaron Scovill; “Kissimee,” June Pooler: “Knogudi,” Francis Whipple; “Tung-Waga,” Lorinda McAndrew; “Tahasi,” Clarence Stein; “Ah No,” Ejiner Newitan: °“Pilda,” Hagel Miller; “SteHa,” Helen Squiers.

Ae ee repe er oesat f= 4 y Ki rere j The Inter-class Cup HIS is the tenth year since the presentation of the inter-class cup to Ypsi High by the Board of Education. During the ten years that the cup has been awarded only two classes have been able to win the cup more than once. The classes of 716 and °21 both won the cup for two years in succession: It is also interesting to note that only one class, the class.of ’20, won the cup in their Sophomore year; all the other classes who won the cup doing so in their Junior or Senior year. The following shows the classes who have won the cup during the ten years it has been competed for: 1914—Won by the class of ’15 in Junior year. 1915—Won by the class of ’16 in Junior year. 1916—Won by the class of °16 in Senior year. 1917—Won by the class of 18 in Junior year. 1918—Won by the class of ’20 in Sophomore year. 1919—-Won by the class of ‘19 in Senior year. 1920—Won by the class of ’21 in Junior year. 1921—Won by the class of ’21 in Senior year. 1922—Won by the class of ’22 in Senior year. 1923—Won by the class of ’23 in Junior year.

This cup, with which everyone in school should be acquainted, was presented to the school by the board in the hope that it might revive and stimulate class spirit among the students of the high school. How well it has succeeded may be realized only by going through the records of the past ten years and comparing the spirit shown during that time to the spi rit previously shown here or to that displayed by other schools at the present time. Realizing how many events must be held during the school year, it was thought advisable last fall to begin early and avoid confusion at the end of the year. This arrangement has been found more satisfactory. | Spelling and Pronunciation The first conflict appeared early in October in the form of the spelling and pronunciation contest. The contest was held jointly, as had been the custom in former years, with teams of ten chosen by the faculty from each class participating in the event. For the most part, the same team entered both contests, though one or two of the classes felt that it was advisable to have separate teams. The participants were first given lists of words to be written, after which a genuine old-fashioned spell-down and (may we coin a word’) pronounce-down contest was held. The winners of these were averaged with the winners of the written work, and after a long pause, the judge pronounced the Seniors as victorious, with the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen ranking second, third, and fourth in a very regular order. In this, as in all other con- tests, five points were awarded to the winning class, three to the class ranking second, and one to the third. Extemporaneous Speaking As soon as the under-classmen had recovered from the results of the first struggle the extemporaneous speaking contest was held. This was judged as two separate events, one between the Seniors and Juniors, and the other between the Sophomores and Freshmen, with a full number of points being awarded to each group of winners. By means of preliminary tryouts, two repre- sentatives were chosen from each class. For the final contest each contestant was given a topic at eight o’clock and given until the contest, which was held at one o’clock to prepare. The results of the final contest gave the Juniors eight points by virtue of their speakers, Louise. Rorabacher and Helen Squiers, winning first One Ilundred Two - . ‘ . = - - - SS RS ee oR IR SE A I EE A TT TE TT LT a TS ee y a 3 ; : z = ea eS a a : i SS « a ee ee « 6 ee and second places respectively; while third place was won for the Seniors through Emerson Stanley’s efforts. In the under- class contest Ruth Latham and Iris Evans, both Sophomores, wen first and second places; third place was awarded Charles Hill, a Feshman. | Boys’ Basket Ball Interest now turned to the athletic events and the boys’ basket ball tournament began the program. The results of the games were watched with increasing interest until the finals were at last played. The Juniors were apparently as enthusiastic about athletics as about literary events, for their boys carried off first place. The under-classmen were no longer to be kept in the background, for the Freshmen took second place,and the Sopho- mores third. Following is the standing of the teams at the close of the tournament: Won. ost: “Fer Cent, PIS an Mo Soto, aoe See ‘ 3 0) 1.00G iB reshimes sn eS oa, co eae ye 1 vem BOMMOMIOFES (akc oes. oa oe ee 1 2 oo SOHO rs fo vy ia oa ae Se eee 0 3 000 Girls’ Volley Ball Following the boys’ basket ball, the girls’ volley ball tourna- ment, in which the upper-cass girls were forced to yield to the superior prowess of youth, was held. The results gave a first place to the Sophs, second to the Freshies, and the remaining third to the Seniors. Following is the teams’ standings at the close of the tournament: Won.

The Juniors redeemed themselves for the failure in the volley ball contest by marching off with eight points. First was awarded Helen Squiers’ story, “Sally,” and second went to Louise Rorabacher’s “A Retributive Trick.” The Seniors once more gained a third, this time through Arthur Forche’s story, “His Brother’s Plea.” The Freshmen and Sopho- mores failed to. place in this contest. | Oration The oratorical contest was next on the program of the year, and was held between the two upper classes only. The con- testants were obliged to write their own orations and then One Hundred Three p a —e a a ee ee eS eS One Hundred Four Pe el ee ee ) ee deliver them, while they were judged half on the thought and composition of the written book and half on the final delivery. | The two rankings were then averaged to give conclusive stand- | ings. This contest proved to be very popular, some five Seniors and six Juniors participating in the finals. The results were rather : startling, for the Juniors took all three places and the subsequent | nine points. This was the first time in school history that one class had wen a whole contest, for, ordinarily, each class is permitted to | enter but two contestants in the finals, doing away with the | possibility of more than two places being awarded to a certain | class. The first three places were awarded in thiis instance to | Louise Rorabacher, Alice Breining, and Helen Squiers. Declamation The declamation contest was held shortly after the oration contest, and corresponded to it as a contest for the under-class- men. he contestants in this even were not obliged to originate their orations, but were required to deliver from memory some well-known selection. There .proved to be some excellent speakers among the younger set, and about nine delivered their orations to a crowd of interested school-mates. It was a close -ccntest, and the various conjectures concerning the identity of the winners were finally settled by the judges’ decision in favor of Audrey Pray, a Freshman, as winner of first place, and Iris Iwvans and Lissa Driscoll, both of the Sophomore class, as winners of second and third places. Girls’ Basket Ball. Athletics again became the subject of greatest interest, and the girls’ basket ball series was played off during the middle of March. Never had inter-class games been so well attended, for the gymnasium was crowded every night. The girls had practiced for weeks before, and the final games showed trained skill as well as natural ability. The combats were close in all cases, in one instance a game being won by one point gained during the last minute of play. Although the Freshmen had several remarkably fast players, they were naturally out-classed by the older girls, in weight, height, and training, and consequently lost out entirely in the finals. The places were awarded as_ follows: Seniors, first; Sophomores, second; Juniors, third. The per- centages of the teams were as follows: Won.

Through lack of either interest or ability, the older classes had but very few entries. Various events were held, the final rankings being the sum of ail points won in the whole meet by both the boys’ and girls’ teams. ‘The results were anything but pleasant in the minds of the Juniors, for the yearlings took first place by far too great a majority of points, leaving second for the Sophomores and third for the Seniors. Essay Up to this time the Juniors and the Sophomores had been running close -in- “ihe “matter of pomts, as the essay .contest would be decisive in determining the winner, it caused an unusual amount of interest. As in former struggles, the essay contest was of a dual nature,—one between the upper classes and the other between the under classes. The results for the former showed the Juniors to have won first place through Louise Rorabachei, while Bessie Wheatley, a Junior, and Esther Murray, a Senior, were tied for second place. In this case the combined points usually awarded to second and third places were divided be- tween the two, giving the Seniors two points and the Juniors seven. This practically assured the latter of the cup. In the under-class contest the Freshmen covered themselves with glory by having two of their members, Charles Hill and Harriet Colburn, tie for first place, thereby winning eight points which go with first and second places. Marjorie Hubble, a Sopho- more, barely wrested third place from, Ruth Corpron, another Freshman, and consequently gained one point for the Sophs. Juniors Win the Cup When the Dixit goes to press the inter-class activities are not completed. However, the Juniors have enough of a lead to be assured of winning the cup. Although the Juniors won, the Sophomores gave them a few worried moments; while the Seniors and Freshmen remained close enough to keep the leaders hustling to maintain their positions. Taking everything into consideraiton, this, the tenth year since the presentation of the inter-class cup by the Board of Education, has been the biggest, best and cleanest series of con- tests that have ever been held in Ypsi High. — ee One Hundred Six Ogi IL | mpicr j Dineen a a | — TS a eee — -DIXIT STAFF THE YPSI SEM eae een eee ee ae were Se REWER SR EE AUR aR TRAE et image.

Several new features have been added to the year’s annual in addition to the increase in the | number of pages. This Dixit staff has been greatly aided in regards to the correct and desirable forms used in annuals by attending the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association conference, held at Ann Arbor June, 1922. ‘The conference was made possible by the Michigan chapter of the Sigma Delta Chi, a national journalistic fraternity. The discussion groups of the conference were led by the editors and managers of the University of Michigan’s student publications. The Ypsi Sem The financing of the Sem presented quite a problem at the beginning of the school year. Since the printing cost was in- creased, the continuation of the Sem was possible only because of the Student Council. The council paid the deficit of the Sem from the money received from the budget system and the all-school carnival. The Sem has been fortunate this year in having a faculty advisor. Carlisle G. Bigger has supervised the work of the Sem and his efforts have made a better publication possible. The Sem and Dixit staff for the year 1923-1924 published the last three issues of the Sem in order that the old staff might give its entire attention to the Dixit. The new staff consisted of: Louise Rorabacher, Editor; Frandis Whipple, Associate; Ruth JLatham, School Editor; Frederick Weinmann, Athletics; Lorinda McAndrew, Jokes; Harry Sullivan, Exchanges; Henriet ta McGough, Charles Hill, Freda Hertzburg, and Gaylord Kurr, Reporters; Robert Galley, Business Manager; Donald Palmer, Assistant; Clarence Stein, | Circulation; Robert Beal, Assistant.

Bayard Taylor. ‘ ‘HIS club, which was organized in 1909, has been under the cuidance of Miss Lois Donaldson and Miss Carrie Hardy during the past year. The name ‘‘Philomathcan” means “lovers of flowers.” The aim “ot the organization is to cfeate a-love for, atid an appreciation of, the best. in literature, music, and art.;. to teach its members correct habits of thought and judgment. Thus, much miore enjoyment and real pleasure-is found in life, a better appre- ciation of the thoughts of great men, an ear trained to enjoy the music of the best composers, and a discerning eye to see the light and shade in the work of. a great artist. Interesting and appropriate literary and musical programs have been given and one meeting was devoted to the discussion of art.. The literary meetings have been held in the evenings. In this way th social side of the organization has not been neglected. Of particular interest in the meetings was a talk given by Mrs. Erickson on the Symphony Orchestra, and a review of a trip to Washington, D. C., by Miss Hardy. At Christmas time a Christmas party was given under the chairmanship of Adah Root, with Esther Ewell chairman of the committee -on entertainment. After several contests Miss Donaldson told the story of VanDyke’s “The Other Wise Man.” On St. Valentine’s evening there was a pie feed and games were played. A club song, the words of which were written by Marion Korbel, was adopted January 22 and used as subsequent meetings of the club.

At this meeting it was decided to adopt the same consti- tution that was framed last year when the club was first organized. The following officers were elected: President, Richard Young; vice-president, Greame Conrad; secretary-treasurer, Emerson Stanley. A program committee consisting of Wendell Miller and -kobert Blakeslee was chosen to work with Mr. Ross in arranging programs for the year. The object of the Science Club is to learn of the modern work done along scientific lines both in physics and chemistry. uring the year a number of interesting reports have been given concerning the highest developments made along scientific progress of today. Reports.were given on such subjects as acceleration due to gravity, commercial and sport aviation, the method of taking latitude and longitude, stereopticon movies, methods used by forgers, production of illuminating gas, traffic tunnels, and turbine locomotives. ‘The reports were very interest- ing and at the same time of much value to the members. One of the biggest things of interest done by the Science Club was the electrical exhibition put on at the school carnival. The work was done by the members while Mr. Ross explained the mysteries. A large testa coil was used with some exhausted tubes, which glowed with various colors when held near the coil. An X-ray tube was used and its principle explained.

The Lincoln Club “TSHIS is to give you a brief history of one of the best Freshman organization in Ypsi High for the year 1922-23—the Lincoln Club. | At the first meeting of the club the following officers were eelcted : President, Viola Amrhine; © vice-president, - Maxwell Ament; secretary, Loring Boardman; treasurer, Helen Burbank. Lhe faculty advisors of the club are Miss Gleason, Miss Lewis and. Mrs. Ervin: With their help the ‘club presented several very interesting programs. Among the features of these programs have been talks by the teachers, reports, readings, a Christmas pageant, music, talks illustrated by use of lantern slides, and a play. In this manner nearly every member of the club took part in some entertainment during the year. The Lincoln Club was still in its infancy when the Autumn Festival occurred, but a gorgeous float which contributed much to the splendor of the parade was prepared. A large truck was hired and with skillful decoration it was metamorphosed into a raurky forest, near the outskirts of which stood a lonely Indian wigwam—the abode of “heap big chief,” Maxwell Ament. This event served to get the club members acquainted and taught them to work together and start the wheels of progress moving. In quick succession followed the preparations for the carnival. The Lincoln Club contributed to the carnival by serving a supper and presenting a baby show. At the beginning of the second semester the club benefited by the advent of several new members. They at once took an active part which added to the success of both the business and social aspects. The progress made by the organization must be attributed to the spirit of the members who made the club «a “rong concern.” ‘The Members Lucile Alban Mary Allen Maxwell Ament Viola Amrhine Franklin Andrews Buford Atkinson Dorothy Baker Clara Baker Mildred Boss Chole Batterson William Baylis Rose Binder Neoma Block Solomon Blum Edmond Blair Loring Boardman Leo Borst Mary Boucher Eleanor Bowen Beryl Brendel Edna Briggs Nellie Briggs Reginald Bronson Phyllis Brooks Helen Burbank Everett Burrel Helen Burrel Franklin Campbell Harold Campbell Carl Caplin Elizabeth Castle Dean Challis Resina Colby Austin Conrad Marjorie Converse Viola Conat Harreit Colburn Ruth Carpron Bernice Day Arthur Dicks Clair Dickerson Elizabeth Davis Marguerite Dolby Arley Elliot Evelina Elka Robert Esslinger Lora Estep Antionette Evans Olgo Everard One FElundred Nineteer sv ie. fo arer 9g STYID WAYIH dNVO la Twenty rn Hundred ee et aie nd i to a “Vv The Witoniki Camp Fire ITONIKI means “she withholds nothing.’ The Witoniki Camp Fire is trying to withold nothing in making cheer for the forlorn little sick and crippled children.

Arthur Forche was elected president; Carl Smith, vice-president ; and Mary Baker, secretary-treasurer. Though the club has presented no plays this year, many in- structive and entertaining programs have been given in the meetings, which have made them worth while. In the carnival the club operated a number of side-shows which were pronounced a decided success. The activities of the club were in a way iiterrupted at the end of the first semester when Miss Keppel left Ypsi High to take a position in the dramatics department of the Pennsylvania State University. Miss Keppel did a great deal for the club in the yea: and a half she was in charge of it, and the members truly ippre- ciated the effort she put forth in making the club a success.

High fas-.-compteted: ats seventh successful year. It was the first club of its kind to organize in Michigan, although there are many of them in existence now. The aim of the organization is to bring the country boys and girls into closer fellowship with one another and to teach them the common principles of parliamentary law, so that they may be better fitted to develop community spirit when they go out into the world. At the beginning of the year three new members were initiated. to fill the vacancies ‘left by gradtiates:: «The officers elected were: K«bert Bird, president; Louise Rorabacher, vice- president; Bessie Wheatley, secretary; Arthur Howard, treasurer. The club showed its usual spirit at the annual all-school carnival by putting on a House of Mirth, which proved very popular with the crowd. The biggest event in club history was ‘held last ‘fall on the sixth of November. This was the reunion banquet given in com- memoration of the sixth anniversary. Invitations were issued to all former mentbers, and many attended, some of them coming from some distance. A splendid meal was served by the present members and a most interesting program was given. Mr. Walpole, the first faculty advisor, was present to tell stories of the good old days and to compare the club’s small beginning with its present status. A member of the Alumni and a present member gave talks from the student’s standpoint, while an outside speaker, E. E. Gallup, of the Michigan Agricultural Extension Depart- ment, told of similar clubs in other parts of the state, showing that the Ypsilanti A. C. was really the originator of the whole croup. Various stunts and programs have been put on throughout the year, ranging from hikes to feeds and dances. The members took the responsibility of putting on the Ypsi- lanti High School exhibit at the Washtenaw County Fair, and through their efforts a fine exhibit was arranged.

This year the club has been. successful with that purpose. The club is among the oldest in the school. It was disbanded during the World War for lack of members; but was reorganized immediately following the armistice. Mr. Sias and Mr. Bigger have been the faculty advisors for the last two years. The membership of the club has doubled this year, having increased from twenty-five members last year to fifty at the present time. At the first meeting held this year the following officers were elected: Carl Pray, speaker; Robert Galley, clerk; Jack Bringloe, assistant clerk; Donald Palmer, treasurer; Jack Fidler, Sem reporter; Richard Hurdley, sergeant-at-arms. The “House” put on a decidedly successful minstrel show at the All-School Carnival later in the semester. The room was packed at each of the four shows given the evening of the carnival. ‘Together with the money taken in from the minstrel show and the mioney taken in at the soft drink stand the receipts totaled approximately seventy-five dollars. : The second semester was started with a detailed report om the Ship Subsidy bill, given by different representatives. Later a debate was held on the same question; and after a straw vote was taken the “House” was found to be almost unanimously in favor of the bill. Next year ought to see the House of Representatives the largest club in Ypsi High, as this year’s membership includes no seniors.

To create enthusiasm and interest as well as pleasure in the monthly meetings has been the object of the program com- mittee. There have been, among others, a Kugene Field, a George Washington, a Mark Twain and a Longfellow hour, in which the life of the author was discussed and his best or most well-known works read. The Christmas program consisted of response to roll call by a Christmas thought, or what Christmas means. Selections from Dickens’ Christmas Carol and other Christmas readings were given by various members of the club. The experience of taking part in one of these programs and the instructive informaiton received has proved valuable. At each meeting two critics were appointed by the president, one for general conduct of members and another for English. These critics pointed out mistakes and helped the members to realize the real importance of what may be gained from club work.

The club was first organized upon the return of the delegates to the State Older Boys’ Conference at Saginaw, in 1921, with John Ellictt as president. The club had. a membership of about eighteen. Many of the members graduated with the class of ’22 but there were others to take their places. Arthur Howard was elected ‘president: Garl--Pray, - vice-president ;. Richard Youngs, secretary, and: Robert Blakeslee, treasurer. Mr. Sias was faculty advisor of ‘the club. . There were ten fellows in “the. Ypsilanti delegation: to™ the ptate Older“ Boys’ Conterence-at° Battle Creek this year, most of whom were Hi-Y members. While at the conference the dele- cates made the following resolution: “We, the Ypsilanti delegation to the twentieth annual State Older Boys’ Conference, do pledge ourselves, with the aid of the Mi-Y, first, to abolish smoking and profanity in the High School, and secondly, to establish the spirit of “Christian Fellowship” among the students.” The Hi-Y is a national organization of fellows in secondary schools, who take the slogan, “Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, and Clean Scholarship,” the purpose being “to create, | maintain and extend throughout the high school and community vi —_ high standards of Christian character.” i Oue Hundred Thirty-four o SS f | 4 ap : cp) rs Be oe [sa ae): .
