VVe have had many batters and four times the mound has been white with that pearly carrara sent to us from the ethereal mists that encircle the habitat of man. To start the first season, President McAllister was chosen for the mound duty, and was given the credit of the best little pitcher in the league, with Vice President Peters as catcher, while Secretary Nelson and Treasurer Batterson were hot on the bench. The umpires were Lidke, Ervin, and Blekking, all three being able to call deci- sions which would keep them out of fights. Previous to the opening, we were appropriately entertained at a reception given for us by the three other teams of the league. Many of the boys left the party early to take walks in the autumn air to put themselves in better condition for the oncoming contests. A summary of the game was a single in Spelling and Pronunciation, a three- base hit in Declamation, and a single in Extemporaneous Speaking, making a total of three hits, one run, and six errors. At the close of our season many of our boys donned long trousers, which event marked the passing of another mile- stone in their career. Our next big game opened up our season of 'twenty-six and 'twenty-seven, with l'resident Myers on the mound and Vice l'resident .Xmbrose behind the bat, each possessing the ability to clown on anybody's ball team. Secretary Ebeling and Treasurer King were elected to arrange the games and gather in the gate receipts. VVhen the game was brought to a close we had managed to receive a single and a triple in Extemporaneous Speaking, and a single in Boys' Basketball, Spell- ing and Pronunciation. These results brought us one run, tive hits, and four errors. It was a noticeable fact that Umpire Service handled the game in a very creditable manner. To celebrate the closing of our season we had a party, which later on was followed by a picnic. At the picnic it was hard to distinguish the girls from the boys, because the girls had indulged in boyish bobs, a plague which was sweeping the country. The season of 'twenty-seven and 'twenty-eight looked very promising. Olds, as l'resident. looked the best to relieve Myers of his duties as pitcher. Conrad. as Vice President, was able to hold down the duties of catcher, while Ebeling and King were still managing the games and gate receipts. The innings went fast and were much to our credit. For when it started enty-Eight Q - - e.. 1 Yl7SI'VlXIT i to rain we found we had a single in Track, Boys' Swimming and Essay Contest, a triple in Oration, and a home run in Extemporaneous Speaking. Our total looked much better this gameg two runs, six hits, and no errors were piled up. The gate receipts having been large for this game, Umpires Sias and Montgom- ery had little trouble in receiving their checks. After receiving his check, Sias returned to the farm, where he pursued his hobby of training the cows. Only the rain prevented our getting the right start of the season. However, during the season Mac Olds and Helen LeCureux, Lillian Hamernik and Bob Smith managed to start their never ending love affair. It would seem a shame to spoil a good season without a celebration. so to start something new we put on a play entitled Clarence Emilie NVeinmann played an unnatural part for her, that of a dignined woman. Red,' Heath as Clarence was typical of one of those bragging American Doughboys who helped fight the war on this side of the ocean. Al played the part of a utopian youth, in his own estimation, while Esther showed her sisterly love for him by super- vising his every action. Still not satisfied with our celebration, we each packed a lunch box, and bicycles not being available, we motored to Wliitniore Lake for a picnic. VVith two hundred dollars in our treasury, this brought the year to a close. When our season of 'twenty-eight and 'twenty-nine opened, we received a notice from the oflice stating that we would be dropped from the Ypsilanti School League at the end of the season. A meeting was immediately called and after some discussion we decided to put forth our strongest combination and carry away all honors. For the mound duty we selected President VVilliamson, with Vice President Morrison perched behind the bat. Secretary Eggert was chosen to score all games, while Peters. as Treasurer. was to guard the money of the team. We started the game with a homer in Spelling, which was soon followed by a triple and a single in Oration, a single in Girls' Basketball, and a home run in Extemporaneous Speaking with the bases loaded. The score book at the end of the season showed seventy-three runs, forty-five hits and no errors. Umpire Hardy was chosen as the best Hump in the league by the members of the cham- pionship team because of her ability to keep the game from becoming a free- for-all. Not only had we played the game, but each player had managed to bank a certain percent of his wages every week. Jay Westcott was awarded the Lit- erary Cup for his unusual ability of being able to produce a continuous line of chatter throughout his four years. To let the town folks know we were champs we selected fads which made the air blue. We then closed our relations with the league and its officers with the best party of the year. Twenty-lN1ne Q.

The cnp is awartlerl to a Senior athlete for the best :ill-around athletic pro- liciency. three points being given for every Y,,' three for every student inan- ager letter. two for every reserve letter, anfl one for perfect attendance at all practices. This year Cecil Conrad was awarclecl the trophy. During his four years at school Cecil has niacle an enviable recorcl. lle is a consistent four-sport man, and has gained his laurels in football, basketball, baseball, and track. Last fall he was captain of the state champion eleven in Class B. Clayton Smith justly deserves mention, as his total of 33 points presses Con- racl's total of 42 very closely.

They pride themselves on gaining all three places in the Declamation Con-- test after some very heated competition with the Freshmen. Virginia Horton, Margaret Morrison, and Roseen Bayler took first, second, and third places respectively. Not only do the Sophs pride themselves upon the points won in inter-class contests, but they are also proud of showing their ability in scholarship. Nlearly every month, under the guidance of Miss Miley, the Sophomores had the greatest number of pupils on both honor rolls. At the closing of their sophomore year. they feel that on passing to the junior year they have completed a very successful and joyful year.

The rivalry was so even that the lead changed hands between the three upper classes after almost every activity. lt was not until the final event had been Hnished that the winner was decided. and since the Dixit went to press before the last two events had been played off, no winner could be declared in this book.

The classes were divided into two groups, thus pitting the Freshmen against the Soph- omores, and the juniors against the Seniors. T his arrangement gave the Freshman and Sophomore classes more of a chance of getting points toward the cup. Instead of one pupil winning the contest for his class, the average of the class was taken and the one having the highest average in each division received five points toward the cup while the other class got three points toward the cup. The close of the con- test found the Sophomores and the Seniors leading their respective groups. Extemporaneous Speaking Contest This year the interest in extemporaneous speaking was very slight, as only two contestants entered the local contest. These were Virginia LeForge and Mac Olds, both students from the Senior class. The lack of competitors from other classes automatically gave the Seniors eight points toward the Board of Educa- tion Cup. Since Virginia LeForge withdrew in favor of Mac Olds, he became our representative at the sub-district contest at Kalamazoo. The Oratorical Contest The annual oratorical contest between the Juniors and the Seniors was held in the presence of the High School Assembly on March 1. The number of con- testants was smaller than in preceding years, there being only five in all. The quality of the orations was up to the usual high standards maintained by Ypsi High. In delivery and in stage presence the contestants showed careful and earnest preparation. The judge for delivery was Professor Lathers of the State Normal College. The judges for thought and composition were Miss McCrickett, Mrs. Ervin, and Mrs. Montgomery. The places were awarded as follows: First, Edith Squiers, a junior. subject. Nathan Halen: second. tied between Virginia Le Forge, a Senior, subject, True Patriotism, and Jay Westcott. a Senior, subject, Our Constitutionng fourth, john Haas, a Junior, subject Conservation of F orests g fifth, Roger Parish, a junior, subject, Theodore Roosevelt. The outcome of the contest provided five points for the Juniors and four points for the Seniors toward the Board of Education Cup. Essay and Short Story Students of all classes have wielded the pen quite mightily this year, producing stories and essays of line quality. If Harpers and Scrib1zer's are properly lalert, they will keep an eye on Ypsi High School for future contributions. The short story contest between the Freshmen and the Sophomores brought out so much exciting material that the judges remained awake far into the night to read these intriguing romances. VVith much difficulty a decision was reached, which gave first place to Mary Evey, Freshman, for Mr. Harkle's Nose for News, second to Eugene Atkinson, Sophomore, for 'fDurluck, and third to Bessie Jones, Fresh- man, for A Night of Thrills. In the essay contest the places were awarded as follows: First. Annabelle Gordon, Senior, for Dream Tripug second, Ruth Forche, Senior, for The Storm , third, Edith Squiers, Junior, for Modern Knights, ' A Fifty-3 cf. E11lYPSI'VIXIT Declam ation The animal Freshman-Sophomore declamation contest was held in room 221 on February 27. The Freshmen furnished plenty of competition, but the exper- ience of the Sophomores rendered them superior and they took all three first places, which gave them nine points toward the Cup. The winners of the contest are Virginia I-forton, Napoleon , Margaret Morrison, 'ZX Vision of VVar g and Roseen liaylcr, 'Toussaint L'OVC1'tl1YC.,, Inter-class Track The annual interclass track meet showed that the Juniors have the best track and field event men. as they easily won the meet with 79 points. The Seniors were the nearest competitors with -l-l points. followed by the Sophomores with 18, and the FTCSIIIITQH with 10. The Juniors took ten hrst places and backed these with seconds. thirds. or fourths in every event. The Seniors took the other four first places. ,lim Borst. a Junior, was high point scorer of the meet with firsts in the shot. discus. javelin. a tie for first in the pole vault, and third in both the high and low hurdles. Inter-class Swimming Contest The annual inter-class swimming meet was held Friday, March 22, in the Ypsi High School pool. The Freshmen and Sophomores took first and second places with 29 and 15 points, respectively. The Seniors and Juniors trailed with 10 and 8 points. From this record we find rosy prospects for swimming material for the future. The individual stars for the meet were VValter Breed for the Frosh, VV'orden Geer for the Sophs, Max Crane for the juniors, and Clayton Smith for the Seniors. Swimmers who had won a letter were not allowed to compete. If they had participated, the results of the meet might have been quite different. Boys' Baseball The boys of the high school entered with considerable spirit into the lnter- class Indoor Baseball games. The juniors, who were at first defeated by the Seniors, finally won the title in a brilliant come-back. The Seniors had the unique record of defeating each of the three teams once in the five games they played, but the two games they lost came at inopportune times and lost them the title but gave them second place, however. The Freshmen had to be contented with third place after making a great start by winning their first two games of the series. The Sophomores, who did not secure a place, caused the upset by defeating the Seniors after losing their first two games. Girls' Inter-class Basket Ball An unusual amount of interest this year has been displayed in the girls' interclass basketball. Six games were played during the months of March and April. The final scores placed the Juniors first, the Seniors second, and the Freshmen third. The captains of the teams were Annabelle Gordon, Senior, Ann Kroc, Junior, Marion Cosgrove, Sophomore, and Harriet Laing, Freshman. s YI7Sl'VlXlT e ax ai QJJ,-1--vz' ours uoxotm sQLf1ERs ' 1 QI GREEN HORTON Contest Winners ARY EVEY, Freshman. was awarded first place in the National Flag Contest held under the auspices of Hearst Newspapers.

The ride which the Freslnnen have always feared as much as Chicago gunmen. was done away with by the upperclassmen. In its place the greenings were made to propose to the girls in a convincing manner and to perform stunts which were very becoming to those who didn't know any better. The party began at 7:30. The gym was all decked out in green and white. All lfreshmen were given green hats when they came in, so it was very easy to see how shv thev acted. lielieve it or not, the ' were sh '!

The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and raising whoopee. At ten-thirty everyone sallied forth in the rain, still raising XYhoopeell J-Hop The animal ,I-Hop was held in the gymnasium on the evening of May 17. The members of the class had expended considerable effort and money to secure attractive decorations and good music. The results were very gratify- ing. The ceiling of the gym had been lowered by means of a canopy of paper streamers in the class colors of wine and gold. This canopy supported around its edge a host of Japanese lanterns, which created a soft glow of light. The lattice background for potted shrubbery gave the appearance of a summer garden. while the odor of lilacs sweetly pervaded the air. An arrangement of settees, card tables. chairs. and bridge lamps around the sides of the room gave a cozy and comfortable place for the chaperons and visitors. Hy nine o'cloclc the dance Floor was well filled with couples who were enjoying the excellent music furnished by a Detroit orchestra. Punch and wafers were served throughout the evening. NYith all the fine attractions, the J-Hop proved to be one of the most success- ful parties in many years. ., ,,.., ..,, ., v i 1 21?

An elimination contest was held, and those chosen to represent the school were: Virginia LeForge, jay Vlfestcott, Max VVilliam- son, and Paul Hedding. The question for debate concerned Ship Subsidy and proved an interesting topic. After several weeks of research, combined with a number of practice debates, we were ready for the opening of the season. Our affirmative team, composed of Virginia LeForge, Max VVilliamson, and Jay 'VVestcott, met and was defeated by Adrian in the first debate. The score, two to one, indicates the closeness of the decision. We next met and defeated Ecorse, winning by a unanimous vote. The negative team now entered the Held. It was composed of Virginia LeForge, Jay Westcott, and Paul Hedding. The first contest of this team was with Birmingham. It was held in the study hall of our High School. A very spirited debate resulted in a Birmingham decision-two to one. The final debate was with Monroe, at Monroe. The extreme cold and the icy roads seemed in no way to affect the work of our team, as it returned home with a two to one decision. s ' 1929 9 'Ml YI7SI'VlXIT VOL.

Since 1910, when the name of the paper was changed from the lffsi C haf to the lffvsi Sem, the work of publishing the paper has been carried out very well, and each succeeding year has found the paper a little better. The Ypsi S0111 is generally regarded as a good school paper, even though the handicaps of publishing it are more numerous than those of most school papers in the state. Here there is no journalism class, and all the staff talent must be recruited from raw material whose journalistic record rests merely upon scholastic ability and the approval of the faculty. Then, too, our school has no printing department, and the time for preparing the issues is very short indeed, as the publishers require the copy five days before the issue appears. Having the paper printed outside also increases the cost of the paper. which is an item of much concern among the business staff. Despite the numerous handicaps, the .S'c111, during the past year, has come out regularly every two weeks. Literary contributions by the student body en- tered the columns of the maper for the first time this year. This was only one of the many new fe s introduced by the staff. A large sale of association tickets last fall slpplied the student fund with a large sum of money. which enabled the pagg to come out every two weeks. The staff chosen last spring served the entire first semester, but at the beginning of the second semester some new members were added by the faculty adviser, Miss Miley. and the editors. The new members were almost all selected from the Junior class. as they will have to carry on the work next year. The students added at the beginning of the second semester were: Dora Burgar. George Adams. Ruth Baker, Frank Handy, lidith Squiers, Roseen Bayler, Leo Lobbestael, and Ruth Crawford. As a climax to their year's work, the staff aided the Yfsilclufi Prcss in pub- lishing a Commencement issue of the paper. After being instructed as to how the news was gathered, and how the daily paper was published, each member of the Svnz Staff was given a real part in the work. The part given to the Sem Staff was carried out well. and the experience gained was very beneficial. Miss Miley, Fred Peters, and the staff as a whole should be congratulated for their efforts. for this year's papers have been the finest in a good many years. K ' l9Z9 2 Phyllis C.

Band NE of the most important factors in creating the unprecedented high school spirit shown at the High School this year has been the Band, XYherever enthusiasm was needed, the Band was asked to be present. lt was one of the chief attractions at pep meetings, football and basketball games, and school parades. The admirable spirit which the Band always displayed has made it the synonym of high school loyalty. Victory always seemed more certain when the band played the stirring strains of Our Old Higlif' Much praise is due the members of the band for their faithful attendance to duty during the year. especially since rehearsals were not held during school hours. Credit is allowed for band work, and in addition the members are awarded a pin for each year's service. In appreciation of services rendered the community, the Chamber of Commerce presented the Band with a silver plated King tenor horn. Much of the success of the band is due to Mr. Barnhill, its director. The band boys, as well as the student body and the citizens of Ypsilanti. owe a great deal to him, for it is through his splendid work that the band has become known as one of the best high school marching bands in Michigan. The High Schol Band, assisted by former members who live in Ypsilanti, serves the community to the fullest extent, which. after all. is the highest type of public service. if fibsxs J Sixty-Seven 'U e 9 Q Six 1 YI7Sl'Vl lT i Top Row Lavender, liairl, Xlcllonald, Holding, Lewis, Skelt, Brooks, lledvling, Stadlcr.

A group of eighteen boys elected as their officers the following: Pres- ident, john Skelt: Vice-President, Paul Hedding: Secretary-Treasurer, Henry Lewis: Librarian. Robert johnson. The Girls, Glee Club of twenty-eight members selected the following officers: President, Nona XVright: Vice-President, Margaret Sinclair: Secretary-Treasurer, Martha VVolterg Librarian, Helen VVolterg Assistant Librarian, Gretta Van Aken. Besides several minor appearances, the first big event of the year was the Christmas assembly, at which time the good work of the students attested to tihe ability and faithfulness of their director. They were very fortunate in having with them at this time two alumni, Betty Fenker Cclass of 'ZSJ and Maxwell Ament fclass of '26j. lixcellent work was April, the boys receiving Class 13. The only place won third place in the Chorus On May 10 occurred the Spring Festival, the crowning event of the year, at which time all of the city schools were represented, with some seven hundred students taking part. Pease Auditorium had a capacity audience, who enjoyed all of the program. The Music Department is sure of having a very successful coming year, because only a few are leaving with this year's graduating class.

Orchestra HE ORCHESTRA this year, under the direction of Mrs. Lucile VanAnt- werp, was organized on an entirely new plan. Instead of being held outside of school hours, rehearsals were scheduled for the fourth hour. They began in September with three players. For the Spring Festival, given May 10 at Pease Auditorium, they had thirty members. Towards the end of the year the members decided to form a club. They elected Ruth Forche President. and Donald Staebler Secretary-Treasurer and im- mediately proceeded to send for pins. The organization was honored by having two from the group, Ruth F0l'Cl!'.', violin, and Pope Benjamin, flute, chosen for the Michigan All-State Orchestra. Rehearsals were held in Ann Arbor in preparation for the annual concert given Thursday, April 25, in Hill Auditorium. All of the orchestra attended, having been entertained earlier in the evening with a pot-luck dinner at the home of Mrs. V anAntwerp. In addition to the orchestra there were four other instrumental groups-the trio Q Ruth Forche, Pope Benjamin. and Luetta VVestJ, the brass ensemble f XV il- liam Reiman, Jay Westcott, Bernard Baird, and Willarcl Clawsonj, the wood- wind ensemble fEl1is Adams, Pope Benjamin, Lee Feldcamp, and James Townsendj, and the string quartet CAlice Colburn, Roger Parish, Gwendel Morhouse, and Ruth Forchej. The state music contest, in which the three quartets participated, was held in Lansing on the second and third of May. The string quartet carried off first honors, while the wood-wind and brass ensembles each placed second. VVith the remarkable development of this department of music during the past year as a foundation, the future for the Ypsilanti High School Orchestra is most bright. f Yvsl-vlxlr FV W fl' 'V l MILLER M.u'Kl'lNZIE MR.

SCHIMMEL DOXVNING MORRISON HORTON NEPOIJAL ATKINSON Student Council Hli tirst task of the Student Council this year was to hold an election to fill the vacancies made in the Council by students who had either graduated or left school. lfVith this business completed, the new officers and members proceeded to bring the Council through a successful year. All business was promptly and carefully attended to. Along with the business of the school, time was found to have an all-school party. This was known as the Mid Year VVhoopee, and was all that its name implies. Owing to the co-operation of the students and teachers the Student Council was able to sponsor a rummage sale, during Thanksgiving vacation, which was a very profitable enterprise. The most important undertaking was the work of revising the constitution of the Student Council and the Athletic Council for the consolidation of the two organizations into one body. This constitution gives added powers to the Student Council, which ,we hope, will tend toward the betterment and growth of the Ypsilanti High School. ,t,, W s YVSI-VIXIT o ROSS LAXD SMITH FOY BATTERSON DIGXAN FORCHE CONRAD Athletic Council Hli ATHLETIC COUNCIL is one of the oldest and most noted organiza- tions in Ypsi High. Year after year it has been the duty of the Council to govern the financial part of athletics as well as rule on many other necessary questions, Although the 1928-29 Council has carried on its work as well as in past years, this will be the last year in which it will function as a separate organization. Next year it will be combined with the Student Council, in which ia committee, composed of the three senior members of the upper classes, together with the athletic coach, a representative from the girls, and faculty member, will vote upon the names of those who deserve letters for their work in athletics. The present council has met four times this year, in which meetings it has conferred with the coaches of the various sports in respect to the awarding of letters to the aspirants whom they have recommended. It has also met and voted money to defray the expenses 'of the different sports. VVe are sure that the plan of the consolidation of the two councils will prove to be a success in the coming years. ..,. 5 - r YPSI-VIXIT e Top Row Koch, C.

These requirements are still used in the ehih, although unlike the first :Xgrieolae Cluh. it is not a secret society. ln order to carry out the eluh's Illuttu, oiiieers are elected every semester. The oliieers for the lirst semester of this year were: President, Laura Deake: Yiee l'resident, Helen Krehsg Secretary, Charles Gillg and Treasurer, Eugene Atkinson.

This year. under the capable direetion of the oliieers and Mr. Osgood, head of the llepartnient of fXgrieulture and adviser of the eluh, inany activities were carried out successfully. The inost important of these was the .-Xnnual .Xhnnni Banquet, which was held on April 25. All of the nieinhers, both past and present, with their parents, were invited.

It has been one of the most active organizations in Ypsi High since that time. The club, quoting from the constitution, was organized to encourage and further the study and the cultivation of the language. literature, art, and history of France. Any student who is taking French at the present time or who has had at least one year of the language may join the club. Meetings are held every two weeks in the High School Lunch Room. At each meeting subjects concerning French history. art, literature, or the customs of the French people are discussed by the members of the club. French songs are sung and French games enjoyed. Refreshments always close the evening. These programs are always enjoyable because they are varied, interesting. and instructive. At one meeting an interesting play was presented by Helen Mor- rison, Emilie NVeinmann, and Esther Horner. At another Esther Horner and Margaret Morrison danced. The reports are always interesting and are well received. The officers of the club for this year were: President. Helen Morrison: vice- president, Esther Hornerg secretary, Virginia Le Forge: treasurer. Emilie VVein- mann. All the activities of the club are under the direction of the able faculty adviser, Miss Blekking, and the success of the club has been through her influence. The club has been very successful this year and the members feel that it will continue to prosper next year. Seventy-Thi e 3 X3 Q E+illYPSI-VIXITI f r . ,. , . 0-. Top Row l.ic-chty. flu: ies.

The object of this organization is to learn more about the Romans and what they have handed down to us and to promote a feeling of fellowship among Latin students of Ypsilanti High School. To be eligible for membership one must have at least one year of Latin. Two meetings are held each month, one being a business meeting and pro- gram held after school and the other a purely social meeting held in the evening. The literary program consists of reports from Roman Mythology and Roman and Greek life. Also, many Latin songs are sung. The social programs are given up to Roman games, games involving Latin words and expressions. and the adaptation of old parlor games. The club had an especially interesting banquet this year. lt was purely Roman, that is. the menu consisted of typical Roman articles of food, with the egg in first course. called the appetizer. and the red apple in the dessert course. ln the meat course fish. of which the Romans had very many varieties, was used. The officers of the club for this year are as follows: Praeses, Max VVilliam- son: Vropraeses, Paul Hedding: Scriba, Mary Catherine Wlelchg Quaestor. Yirginia Horton.

The object of this club is to gain a greater understanding and appreciation of drama. The members of the club are those who are taking the course in Dramatics. The club has three officers: the director, Clayton Smith, whose duty it is to preside over the meetingsg the stage manager, Louis liatterson, whose duty it is to Fill the director's place in case of vacancyg and the business manager, Emilie XVeinmann, whose duty it is to act as secretary and treasurer of the club. The success of the club is due chiefly to the ability of the faculty adviser, Mrs. AllJlltU'lJlllCl'j'. Fu The meetings are held during the regular class period. At these meetings the regular business of the club is taken care of and then the meeting is turned over to the entertainment committce which has been previously appointed by the director. The entertainment generally consists of either the reading of some article from a dramatic critic, or the production of some one-act play by some of the members of the class. The club has participated in several outside activities such as theater and dinner parties. The club as a class project has prepared The Seven Keys to Baldpateu for production.

The Social Science Club HE SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB of the Ypsilanti High School was organ- ized in December, 1928. At the first meeting, officers for the year were chosen as follows: President, Mac Oldsg Vice President, Genevieve Howden, Secretary, Vera Baylisg Treasurer, Donald Staebler. The club is under the sponsorship of Mr. Sias, head of the Social Science Department. The patron saint of the club is St. Wapniacl. All students who are studying History of any kind or Economics are eligible for membership in the club. The purpose of the club is to promote the interest of students in History as well as for social purposes. The meetings are held as often as business and social problems require. The first social gathering was planned to be a sleigh ride party, but it turned out to be a dance given at Superior Town Hall. The music was furnished by' members of the club. Donald Staebler played the saxophone, lfvelyn Lyke and Alfred King alternated in playing the piano, and Ruth Forche played the violin. Most of the evening was spent in dancing, but a part of it was enjoyed by playing drop the handkerchief. The fact that the floor was very slippery and rather crowded added to the merriment. Sandwiches and coffee were served and then the party broke up. The outstanding party was one held at Dixboro Town Hall on the night of February 22. The music was furnished by joe White, Stanley Fairbanks, Robert Smith. Lillian Hamernik, Evelyn Lyke, and Roger Parish. If the club exists next year, it will have to be completely reorganized, as Mr. Sias will not be here. l + YVSI-VIXIT o l LEFORGE HARDY GORDON VVESTCOTT MORRISON BVRGAR MYERS National Honor Society WO YEARS ago a chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in Ypsilanti High. This Society is akin to Phi Beta Kappa of collegiate renown. The students elected hold a life membership in the organization, which has four principles-Scholarship, Leadership. Character, and Service. The members are selected by the faculty from the upper third of the Junior and Senior classes. The Juniors are chosen in the second semester of the year, so that they can proceed with the work of the society till the following year, when the eligible Seniors are elected. Jay Westcott, Virginia LeForge, and Creston Myers are the three who were chosen last year as Juniors. The second semester of this year the faculty elected two Seniors, Helen Morrison and Annabelle Gordon, they being the only ones who had the necessary qualifications. Dora Burgar was chosen from the Junior class. The high scholarship standards of the society barred students who were otherwise eligible in character. leadership, and service this year, and there were not three Juniors who could be selected. Because of this difficulty, the chapter was not organized, although the new members were initiated in assembly. The purpose of the National Honor Society is to promote and maintain scholarship, to enlist students in a willingness for service at all times, to found in its members a consistent development of character. and to establish between them a common bond of friendship and interest in and during life.

W - rvsl-vlxn A Junior Play HAT the Junior play held April l7 and 18 was a complete success was evi- denced not only by the large and enthusiastic audiences, but also by the sub- stantial amount of profits turned into the class treasury. At each perform- ance the auditorium of the Masonic Temple was filled. By hard work the Junior committees on management had assembled com- plete and artistic stage settings that furnished a most realistic background for the scenes of domestic tragedy and comedy which make up the drama entitled, Come Out of the Kitchen. The audience was particularly delighted with the old-fashioned kitchen, which was complete in every detail from the big, cozy range to the kitchen sink with a real pump. Edith Squiers. as Olivia lilangerlield. lived up to all the possibilities of the part, being as easy in the role of Irish cook as in that of the charming southern girl of birth and breeding. At all times she captivated her audience. Helen LeCureux, as Elizabeth Dangerfield, played her dual role of an aris- tocratic young southerner and an unwilling lady's maid with a naturalness that was most convincing and delightful. Lillian Britton, as Mrs. Faulkner, a haughty northerner, was most successful in sustaining that difficult role, while Emily LeClair, as Cora Faulkner, made a very charming and dutiful daughter. Helen Staebler, as Amanda, the black mammy, acquired both the speech and the make-up to impart to the play a real Virginia flavor. George Adams, as Paul Dangerfield, impersonated the conventional butler in a most successful manner. Richard Skinner, as Charles Dangerfield, did a bit of good acting, and as the unhappy boy-of-all-work gave his audience many a laugh. Jack MacKenzie, as Burton Crane, carried very successfully the exacting role of successful man and perplexed householder. whose sentiments were con- tinually leaning toward the cook. Clark Wright, as Solon Tuckerg Richard Smith, as Tom Lefferts, and Rob- ert Holding, as Randolph VVeeks, completed the male cast, and all Wore their tux- edos with a manly grace wonderful in Virginians. Too much cannot be said in appreciation of the work of Mrs. Montgomery, the Director, and of Mr. Sias, the Faculty Adviser. Great credit is due the class for its hearty response in selling tickets and in supporting the play in other ways. v ..,, C YPSI-VIXIT s ' Calendar of Events .S'r'f1tt'111 Iwr IO-School opens with a Bang!

Football NLIKE the handicapped team of last year, our 1928 squad, with Mr. Foy as their coach and Cecil Conrad as captain, finished their list of games with only one defeat. XYith exceptionally high hopes. the Purple and Golders journeyed to Milford for the opening game. They started the season otl' perfectly by whipping the Mil- ford aggregation, 24-O. One touchdown for each quarter was the way the score went up, but the four attempts for the extra points failed. Inexperienced players on the visiting Belleville team aided Ypsi's eleven to be on the long end of the score 42-O in the first game played on the home field. The Purple and Gold players showed their superiority throughout the entire game and scored almost at will. The licorse gridclers met the locals in their third game of the season on Ypsi's own ground. The Purple and Gold men were again victorious, winning this time by a score of 6-O. Our next game took place in Ypsi also, but woe, a winning streak cannot last forever. The big Owosso gridders handed us our first and only defeat of the sea- son. One of the hardest fought battles of this year took place in this game, but the final score appeared 12-6 against us. On Friday night, Nov. 2, there was certainly a happy crowd that came home from Adrian. In practically all of our previous tilts with the Adrian High School, we have come out of the game on the low end of the score, but oh! no! Not this 1ilYPSI-VIXIT c lime. We literally wiped them off the face of the earth. Although they played hard, we brought home a 20-0 score. The Saline aggregation proved to be easy meat for the local men in their sixth game played here. Extra points were gained without much effort on the part of the Foymen. The Little Brown -lug, much treasured between the two local schools, was once more claimed as our trophy for winning the Roosevelt game 22-0 on November 16. Rain. rain, and more rain drenched the crowd of spectators and the players. but it didn't stop us from taking our usual victory over the Hilltoppers. River Rouge, our next opponent, proved to be a harder team than the one played in the previous game, and besides this fact, it must be added that we played the game on River Rouge's new field, which was nothing short of a sea of mud, but that mattered not, to us. VVe won the battle 6-0. The Alumni game ended the season for the Ypsi High gridders, and, although tl1ey had an excellent offense and heavy line, the school team held them to a tie 6-6. The game was played as usual on Thanksgiving Day, and not even turkey and pumpkin pie could have drawn those spectators away from the game. In other words, it was a fine, evenly matched contest filled to overflowing with brilliant plays and exciting moments. Much credit must go to the team as a whole for their splendid success of the year, for no team with such a low weight average as ours could go through the season with so much success without excellent teamwork and cooperation. VVith the season at a close the score board showed seven wins and a tie for us against only one loss-and that against one of the strongest, most aggressive Class A teams in Michigan. With this record, unequaled in our school since 1921, we found ourselves to be Class B champions of the state of Michigan. Much credit for the championship team should go to the Four Horsemen, Batterson, Conrad, Dignan, and Miller. Batterson was the triple-threat man of the backfielcl, whose long punts, accurate passing, and long sweeping runs were a con- stant menace to the opposition. Digntan's high calibre is shown in the fact that he was placed upon a mythical all-state eleven by one of the most eminent sports writers in Michigan, while Captain Conrad's and Miller's off tackle runs counted consist- ently for live to ten yards. However, without our powerful line, which was as hard as a stone wall on offense and as quick as lightning on defense, no such record could have been established. Only two serious casualties occurred during the entire season. Frank Red Miller, our star tackle, suffered a broken collar bone in the Saline game, which injury kept him out of the line-up the rest of the season. Conrad was hurt in the last game of the season and was kept out of basketball for three weeks. The most serious handicap to the 1929 team will be the loss of the F our Horse- men and their substitutes, Pierce and Harrington, however the line will be prac- tically intact, only Perdue and Smith passing on by graduation. We hope that next fall's team will follow the precedent established this year and again capture first place honors in the state.

Basket Ball OACH FOY, our athletic director, thought it no more than right that we should open the season with a victory, so he ordered the boys to clean up on Wayiie. They did very nicely, considering the fact that they had only four days of practice before the game. The Purple and Gold loopsters took the lead in the first quarter and held it to a 19-8 final score. The following week we trimmed Milford, with a 20-14 score, but it seemed as though it was just Madam Luck that was favoring us, for our squad played the game loosely and with bad form. VVith half of the Foymen on the sick list, it was a very weakened team that met the Alumni in the next game. The grads downed us 31-18. Cleary College next trounced the Ypsi Quintet 22-ll. They rolled up a two to one lead in the first half and finished in the same manner. Coach Foy's outfit journeyed next to Redford to receive their third defeat of the season. Two of our outstanding players, Batterson and Harrington, did not play in this game. The locals held the lead only once during the game and it was a very small lead at that. The Redford players overtook us in the second quarter and continued to lead throughout the game, 36-20 being the score when the final whistle blew. We next met the Normal College Frosh in a staged battle in which they took our measure by a 22-16 cou11t. River Rouge in our next game also whipped us, the score being 35 -20. liiglity-Sew eu l e YPSI-VIXIT ' - At this time we decided to turn the tables so we downed Chelsea by eight points. Tlns score was 26-18. Our return game with Milford was next staged and maybe it wasn't glad news for us to hear people saying, U33-8 in favor of Ypsi. I Then the next week, a sweet victory was again taken, this time from W'ayne 1-Iigh. These opponents offered but slightly more resistance than the Milfordites in the previous game, so the final score recorded was 30-19. The Purple and Golders' next game was with an out-of-state team, Toledo Scott, and the glory of victory received from the last two games was taken away by their trimming us 35-14. Although they could have probably beaten us with the first team put on the floor, they played their old trick again, by setting forth two complete teams in each hal f. On February 21, the Chelsea squad evened up matters by downing the Foymen on the Chelsea floor, with a nearly even score-22 to 21. The hard fought battle of the four quarters ended with the score tied 19 all, but in the extra period Chelsea got three points to Ypsi's two. The next game of our cagers was away from home also. They journeyed to Monroe, where they were handed a 32-18 defeat. The fellows were somewhat tired from the Chelsea game the night before, and to this fact we'll give part of the blame for the defeat. On the following Tuesday, Roosevelt, the ancient rivals on the hill, fell victims to our boys' prowess when they were downed 33 to 11. The Hilltoppers started the game off with a small lead, but they were soon squelched by our overwhelming them with a three to one score. The next game, the last one outside of the tournament, was played with our old rival Ann Arbor. It proved to be the best played battle of the season, although we lost with a 12-16 score. This fact, to anyone who saw the game, does not mean much, because he knows how well the boys played the game and with what splendid teamwork they fought. It is almost certain that if the boys had put into all of their previous games, what they put into this game, there would have been very few scores with Ypsi on the small side. After this, we entered the district tournament which was held in our own Gym, and progressed beautifully. Howell, our hrst opponent, fell easily before our squad. 24-15, and Plymouth, another of Y psi High's old foes, fell more easily when we bested them 21-8. Then, Monroe, the one we dreaded most, came against us, but after a stitf battle we came out ahead 21-l-l. Thus we won the District No. 5. Class B, Basketball Championship. The following week Coach Foy's lads trotted onto the Hoof and started playing against Adrian in the Regional Tournament. A stiff battle ensued, but the score board read, at the end of the game, Adrian 28, Ypsi 23. And thus we were elim- inated from the Regional. There was especially good enthusiasm among the players this year. The out- standing players on the team were Batterson. Smith. Conrad, Allward. Lewis, Crane, Horton, Skelt, Miller, and Hamilton. Of these the First tive will be lost to next year's squad. However, with the remaining first-team men and promising material developed on this year's second team available, there is a favorable outlook for an even better team next year. ity-Eight QU Q.-lil YPSl'VlXlT Q.. illYI7Sl'VlXlTI Top Row Ilatterson, Roberts, l'.

It was in this game that Hank Lewis received an injury to his hand that put him out of the game for the rest of the season. lt was a big loss. for he was our veteran catcher. l'lymonth next played our boys and defeated them 5 to 3. The locals played a stiff game, but the fifth inning was our ruination, for it netted our opponents four runs, which was in itself enough to win the game. The next swatting battle was with Ann Arbor, and we were again defeated, by a close 8 to 7 score. This was a very tight game and intensely exciting. as all games seem to be with this old rival. XYe next changed our tactics a little and beat Saline 7 to 2. This proved to be an easy game for us, and we only wish we had more opponents like them. Dearborn next met us at the Recreation Park and showed us that they had improved since the last set-up. lt was a very well balanced game and it was only i11 the last part of it that we came through for the 5 to 4 verdict. As the Dixit went to press before the baseball schedule was completed, the account of the games with Pontiac, Roosevelt, and Flint Central could not be included. 1 1 L Q1J Yl7Sl'VlXlT 5122.429 V mm m f YVSI-VI IT o Top Row Atkinson, 1ill1Ik', Sfitt.

We showed them our wares by defeating them O8 to 53. The Purple and Gold thinclads ran up most of their score in seconds and thirds. but they succeeded in capturing over half of the firsts. The second meet, an invitational one, was staged at Fordson on May ll. The meet was a very good one as fifteen schools competed. Harrington was the only Ypsi boy who placed. He won a fourth in the broad jump. Dearborn won the meet. On May 18. the Ypsi stars assembled at the Normal track for the Regional Track Meet. The Purple and Golders did fine work by taking fourth place out of a possible ten. Dearborn took first with 37 points. Birmingham was second with 21, W'yandotte third with 13, and Ypsi fourth with ll. In addition to the third place taken by the local relay team, three of our fellows placed in four individual events. Max Crane and jay VVestcott won seconds in the 440-yard dash and high hurdles respectively. XVestcott also took third in the high jump, and Harrington won a fourth in the broad jump. The following Saturday the five boys who qualified for the State Meet went to East Lansing. Ypsi took sixth place, but all of our points were captured by two boys. Crane did exceptionally well by taking first in the 440, while Westcott placed a close second in the high hurdles and tied for third in the high jump. The relay team put up a stiff run. but failed to place. Nmety-Two ' e ?iJYl7Sl-VIXIT DN.z::..5A ' 1 YVSI-VIXIT r T- Top Row--Coach Scl1aeH'er. Atkinson, Fairbanks, Day, Breed, VYitt. Handy.

Swimming Team NIJICR the able leadershi m of Coach Schaeffer the ljur ile and Gold Swiinmino' ,. . . . . l . . e l eam started out the SNYIIIIIUIHQ' season with high hopes. regardless of the tact that they had only a week's practice beforehand. The reason for this short practice lay m the tact that the pool was closed on account of the Hu epidemic spreading through Ypsilanti at that time. Our natators' first meet was away from home. with Redford, and it proved to be a very discouraging one, because of our coming out on the low end of a 55-9 score. The Ypsi Tankmen next journeyed to Ann Arbor, and were again beaten badly. Mfhen the scorelww announced, we found it to be Ann Arbor 43, Ypsi 15. Redford was again the victor over ns in the next meet, but this time the duel was held in our own pool. They swam away from us with a 65-11 score, wh1cb was not as good as the score of the first meet with them. The Schaeffer outfit was next seen at Jackson. A little iniprovement was noticed in the team and they scored the highest of any meet thus far, yet they received their fourth successive defeat, the score being Jackson 51, Ypsi. 18. Roosevelt, our ancient rival, was the next school to whom we were to fall victims. 1Ve improved much over the last meet, but were beaten by the Hilltoppers 45-24. Pontiac next downed us 53-16, but our joy came when, upon going to Fordson we cleaned up on them 46-14. This was our first and only meet won during the season, for Royal Oak downed us in the next meet 48-21. N mety-Foul' Q-li YPSI-VIXIT em Horst, Seevers, Coach XVilcox, Lavender, Robbins. Gym Team HEX Coach Larry Vliilcox ,made the call for fellows to come out for the Gym Team, he found the results from his calling discouraging, as only four fellows turned out. There was one fact however that was a consolation and that was that all four members were veterans of last year's team. They are as follows: Ernest Lavender, Billie Robbins, James Borst, and Earl Seevers. Although they worked hard they had but one meet scheduled, and that was the State Meet. It was held Tuesday, February 19, in the Normal College Gym. The boys thought they were all set for a good place in the contest, but a little while be- fore the meet, two of the fellows dropped out, leaving only Robbins and Lavender to compete for Ypsi High. The Purple and Golders did very well, considering the fact that they had less men than any other team in the state, for they took fifth place. We hope next year that we'1l have some real school spirit, a large Gym Team, and nothing less than a first place in the State Meet.
