�Greetino.
further perusal we would claim your attention
LJ for a moment, feeling that a word in regard to this
little volume would be fitting at this time. A High
School annual is, strictly speaking, a class book, representing to a great extent the efforts and interests of
the Senior Class. In a broad sense it is a High School
book, a history of the literary, social and athletic events
of the year. There exists in every High School, to a
certain extent, a feeling on the part of the first and
second year classes that the older classes look down
upon them. Often such a feeling exists between the
Juniors and Seniors, which is a fact greatly to be deplored especially in small High Schools. We believe that
an /Annual does much to do away with this feeling.
If all the classes are made to contribute some part
toward it, they look upon it as " our " annual and a
spirit of MIN springs up as a result. This has been
the aim of the present class in publishing this volume,
and we feel we have accomplished it to some extent.
We do not boast of our efforts; WC have clone the
best we could with our limited experience, and trust
that future editors may succeed in making the "Trayersen.sian" an annual of which Traverse City may be
Justly proud.

�Glories T. Grown, 13.Pd., M.N.
r
OR fifteen years the public schools of Traverse City
were under the supervision of Mr. Chas. T. Grawn.
Under his management, during that time, they have increased from twelve teachers to over forty. Their growth
in tone, efficiency, and influence was no less conspicuous,
giving them a good name throughout a wide region in Northern Michigan. Good buildings were erected, and peace,
harmony, and progress prevailed. These schools are a
monument to Mr. Grawn. What better monument can man
build
Mr. Grawn was born in Washtenaw county, Mich., Oct.
4, 1857. His parents were Swedish pioneers. His boyhood
days were spent on a farm in Kent Co., where he took many
of his lessons in nature sludy. His toil was that of the
ordinary farm boy, when not in school. For several months
each year be was required to learn to read Swedish, Danish,
and Norwegian, but in the winter he attended the district
school of the neighborhood. When he was seventeen years
of age he entered the Newaygo High School, which he
attended for one year. While in this school he did janitor
work and chores to pay the usual expenses of board and
books.
After attending the high school for one year he began
teaching. His first experience was a term of four months
in a district school at twenty dollars per month, boarding
around. In the spring of 1876, he entered the State Normal
School, and was graduated from that institution in June,
1880, having completed the classical course. During these
four years his summer vacations were spent on the farm,
2
�earning money to pay his school expenses. After completing his work at Ypsilanti he went to Plymouth, as Principal of the public schools, where his real career as an educator began. For four years he taught in the schools of
Plymouth with ability and devotion. The people there
have not forgotten him and they still turn to him for advice
and counsel in educational matters. During a part of this
time he was Secretary of the Wayne County Board of
School Examiners. It was during this time, also, that he
began a home for himself. On Nov. 25, 1881, he married
Helen J. Blackwood of Northville, Wayne Co., who had
been a student with him in the State Normal School. Thus
was begun a happy home life which has grown with the
years.
In the fall of 1884 Mr. Grawn came to Traverse City
as Superintendent of her public schools. Since that time
he has labored here and grown with the growth of the city.
On the presentation of two theses in 1892 the State Normal College conferred upon him the degree of B.Pd., and
the M.Pd. was added in 1897 by the same institution. The
State Teachers' Association claimed him as its president in
1894.
By hard study and frequent attendance at professional
meetings of all kinds Mr. Grawn has kept himself fully up
to the times. Besides being successful in school he has been
very successful in business ventures, and is one of the few
teachers in Michigan who can show financial results for
their labors.
Personally Mr. Grawn is pleasant, genial, sincere. He
is greatly esteemed by his patrons, teachers, and pupils.
His heart is warm and bright, and the generous kindness of
his nature shines out from every feature of his open countenance, and his presence is like a benediction that is not
soon forgotten.
In June, 1899, Mr. Grawn was appointed Superintendent of the Normal College Training School at Ypsilanti.
�He began his work there in the following September, and in
a few months had won the hearts and confidence of both
students and faculty, when, on the resignation of Principal
Charles McKenny of the Central State Normal, the State
Board of Education again showed their high appreciation
of Mr. Grawn by electing him to succeed Prin. McKenny.
He entered upon his duties as Principal of that young but
vigorous institution in April last. The reception given him
by the students, teachers, and citizens of Mt. Pleasant is
prophetic of a long and successful administration in this
important position.

Charles Henry Horn, MA.
C
HARLES HENRY HORN, Superintendent of the Traverse City Schools, was born in a log house in Eaton
Co., Mich., January 6, 1865. During his boyhood days his
educational advantages were confined to a little red school
house in the country district, but it was here that his ambition for an education began. As he was not very strong
physically, his teacher suggested to his father the advisability of sending him to a High School. His father was
pleased with the suggestion, and accordingly Mr. Horn entered the Charlotte High School at the age of sixteen,
where he graduated, valedictorian of his class, in 1885.
During the early part of Mr. Horn's struggle for an
education, he admits that he fell in love frequently and desperately. He determined, however, that he would not
let any girl stand between him and an education. The result was that he lost all the girls, as he would not ask them
to wait for him, thinking they should take the hint without
being asked.
Before finishing the High School Mr. Horn taught one
term in a district school and after graduation he accepted
a position as teacher in the grades at Vermontville, Mich.
During the winter he was severely afflicted with the rheumatism, so that he was obliged to give up teaching, and in
the spring left Michigan for California, thinking that a
change of climate would benefit him. Returning from California much improved in health, he taught school winters
and worked on the farm summers for nearly two years.
About that time he was employed by the Home Missionary
Society, and spent one summer in Dakota doing missionary
work.

��In 1888 Mr. Horn entered Olivet College, and, with the
money lie had saved, together with that which he earned
during his course, graduated A.B. in 1892.
During his college course he was much interested in
literary work, and during his junior year won the first prize
in the regular oratorical contest. It was during the latter
part of his college course that he fell in love for the last
time, and fatally.
Shortly after his graduation he was elected principal of
the Eaton Rapids High School and served in this capacity
for one year. His work in Eaton Rapids was very satisfactory and he was urged to remain for a longer time, but hav
ing received a call from Traverse City, he decided to accept
the position as principal of the Traverse City High School.
A short time before coming to Traverse City Mr. Horn married Miss Hila Meads, of Olivet. After spending a short
time at the World's Fair, Mr. and Mrs. Horn came to Traverse City and have remained here since.
As principal of the High School, Mr. Horn has been
very successful, winning by his good judgment, tact and
fidelity, the respect of all with whom he comes in contact.
During his life as principal he found time to pursue studies
along advanced lines, especially in History and Latin. In
1895 Olivet College conferred upon him the degree of M.A.,
as evidence of the completion of the advanced studies required for this honor.
Last year upon Prof. Grawn's resignation Mr. Horn
was appointed to fill the vacancy as superintendent. Mr.
Horn is not only a thorough and devoted schoolman but
he has always manifested a deep interest in whatever pertains to the social, moral, and spiritual welfare of the community in which he labors. His influence on the young people is always that which goes to make up the highest type
of Christian character. He will be remembered by his associates and students as an inspiring and helpful friend.
Long may Traverse City be able to retain him as Superintendent of her Public Schools.
�Edward H. Ruder.
FDWARD H. RYDER, Principal of the Traverse City High
I-- School, was born in Northville, Wayne county, Mich.,
August 9, 1871. He attended school at Northville, and
completed his High School work there at the age of sixteen.
Two years later he went to the Normal College at Ypsilanti
from which he graduated in 1893. After graduation Mr.
Ryder spent four summer terms doing advanced work in
science and mathematics at the Michigan Agricultural College.
In 1893 he was engaged as instructor of science in the
Traverse City High School, remaining four years. He then
received a higher position as principal of the Plymouth High
School, where he taught two years. Mr. Ryder was engaged
for a third year at Plymouth, but resigned on being recalled
to Traverse City as principal.
December 23, 1896, Mr. Ryder married Miss Georgia
Smyth of Marshall, Mich., who, after graduating at the
Normal College, taught in the Traverse City schools two
years.
His work in the school has been very satisfactory, and
during his year as principal, he has won the respect of the
students who feel they have in him a warm friend and true
counsellor.

�Traverse City Public Schools.
educational institutions of any community are a
THEpriceless
heritage. The character of these institutions
determine very largely the intellectual and moral tone of
the people who sustain them. As in a community so in a
nation, schools are an essential consequence and the standards of morality and intelligence which they set up are
the bulwark of the nation's political institutions. The life
of the public schools will be continuous with that of the
nation, when they perish the nation will perish also.
It is the peculiar pride of Traverse City that her citizens have always manifested a deep interest in the welfare
of her public schools. Public education was one of the first
solicitations of the pioneers who, nearly a half century ago,
settled upon the shores of the beautiful Grand Traverse
Bay. From that time to the present her interest in education has not waned.
It would be interesting, if time and space permitted, to
trace the history of the public schools of Traverse City
since 1853, when all the children of the settlement were
comfortably quartered in small log school house on what is
now East Front St., down to the present time when over
twenty-two hundred are enrolled in beautiful and well
equipped buildings. But it shall be our purpose in this
brief article to trace their progress more especially since
1884.
From 1853 to 1880 the schools of the village were organ- •
ized under the general school law as an ungraded district;
in the latter year, during the superintendency of S. G.
Burkhead, they were organized as a graded school district,
3
�which plan was continued until 1895, when Traverse City
was incorporated as a city under a special charter.
In the fall of 1884, the schools of Traverse City occupied a six-room frame building situated where the Central
Building now stands; three one-room buildings on the corner of Park and Washington streets; two one-room buildings on the corner of Elmwood Ave. and Randolph street;
and the small one-room building on the corner of Union and
Tenth streets. The enrollment of pupils for the year 188485, as shown by the records of that year, was 480, about
fifty of whom were enrolled in the High School department.
At this time thirteen teachers were employed; eleven in the
grades and two in the High School. At the present time
the schools occupy four large, commodious and well-equipped brick buildings and two small, wooden structures, all
built and equipped at an expenditure of about $110,000.00.
The enrollment for the present year is something over
twenty-two hundred,—three hundred and thirty five of
whom are enrolled in the High School.
In 1884 the equipment of the schools, aside from the
general school furniture, consisted of a library of less than
fifty volumes, a set of outline maps and a globe. To-day
there are few schools in the State better equipped for doing
thorough work along secondary lines. The special library
for the High School contains about 1200 well-selected volumes, and in addition to this, grade libraries are established
in each building, containing books especially designed to
supplement the work in geography, history and science. A
small but well-selected pedagogical library for teachers has
also been established. The physical and chemical laboratories are stocked with apparatus, so that these courses can
be carried on in accordance with strict laboratory methods.
Fourteen years ago the High School contained but one
course of study—the English. Since that time the former
lines of work have been extended and new studies added
until at present five thorough and comprehensive courses
�are maintained, any one of which gives a thorough training
for the active duties of life or fits for admission to the State
University, the Normal College, the Agricultural College.
and the various denominational colleges of the State.
In 1889 an application was made by the Board of Education, through the superintendent, for a committee from
the State University to visit the High School and examine
its course of study, equipment, strength of teaching force
and so forth. After a thorough investigation, the committee reported the school as doing work of a high character
and that it was thoroughly prepared to enter into academic
relation with the University. Since that time the University relation has been continued so that graduates from the
High School have been admitted on their diplomas without
the formality and annoyance of an entrance examination.
The first class to graduate from the High School was
the class of 1885, and consisted of five members. Since
then two hundred seven have graduated from the various courses. The record which the graduates have made
in all departments of human endeavor in which they have
engaged is a source of pride, not only to those who were
responsible for their instruction but also to the citizens of
the city who so generously maintained the institution which
sent them forth.
The public schools of Traverse City have played an
important part in the material, social, intellectual and
moral progress of the community, and it is hoped that the
high standard they have reached will be maintained in the
coming years.
" Religion, morality and knowledge being necessary to
good government and the happiness of mankind, schools
and the means of education shall forever be encouraged."
�I
Traverse &o y.
E. PATJLINE JOHNSON
OUTSIDE, a sweep of waves and winds that roar
Beneath storm-threatened skies;
But here a harbor sheltered by a shore
That circles crescent wise
Like some young moon that left its aerial lands
To shape and spill its silver on these sands.
I stand and watch the line of liquid blue,
Where skies and waters meet;
The long green waves that crowd the nearer view,
And break about my feet.
The waters lift and heave, then drop away
Beaten and breathless, sweeping up the bay.
And all the wonder of this wind-swept sea,
And its tempestuous sky,—
Its hidden past, its unknown history,
Its centuries gone by—
Rise and proclaim the infinite, until
The doubt within my heart grows hushed, then still.
�The Alumni.
LEVI T. PENNINGTON.
4g 7y SCHOOL is known by its Alumni." Such being the
I-1 case, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the
TRAVERSE CITY HIGH SCHOOL holds a very enviable position among the schools of the State Among the Alumni
we have no State's prison convicts. We have, however, a
few lawyers, editors, drummers and insurance agents. Advancing up the scale, we have a few doctors, some merchants,
several mechanics, a great many teachers, some farmers, a
few ministers, a number of wives and not a few mothers.
A very much alive Alumni Association is kept up, in
which the honor of the Presidency is exceeded only by its
expensiveness. An annual meeting is held in which the
Alumni orator invariably speaks to a "crowded" though
not a " full " house. Old acquaintances are renewed (to
some extent) and old corns are trodden upon (to a very great
extent). The class that has just completed the course think
of how the school has improved since these old classes were
graduated. The older graduates think, "How little these
youngsters know compared with those of us who were graduated in the good old days when solid work was done!"
The officers of the Alumni Association are at present as
follows:—President, Parmius C. Gilbert; Vice-President,
Stella Schneider; Secretary, Minnie Wait; Treasurer, Mrs.
George W. C. Navarre. All members of the Association
being so willing to do all that is asked of them in the way
of work, and pay all that is asked of them in the way of
Alumni dues and assessments, the work of the officers of
the Association is very simple and easy indeed.
Fortune has been kind to those who have finished the
�work of the TRAVERSE CITY HIGH SCHOOL. The world has
a right to expect more from a graduate than from one who
has not had that advantage. It does expect more and is
not disappointed. Few indeed are there of our number who
do not occupy responsible, honorable positions in the world.
Here one in the gaze of the public is doing a man's work and
getting a man's reward. Risking all for the right, gaining
all by the right, another has thrown himself into the breach
where wrong seems on the point of conquering right. Hard
fighting brings many scars, but scars received in the cause
of right are nobler decorations than any rank or medal conferred by royalty. Here in quiet seclusion the mother in
the home is moulding the young life intrusted to her into
the image of God, to teal ain to all eternity—glorious. In
the little country schoolhouse the teacher is doing a work
compared with which the building of the pyramids is a sim
ple task—building character that will endure when the
pyramids are worn away by the drifting sands blown by the
desert wind. From the sacred desk another pleads for
higher character, purer thought, nobler aspirations, godlike life.
The death angel has not entirely passed over us. Some,
in the glow of young life and the flush of youthful hopes
and ambitions, have gone to the other country, where call
ever so loudly, they can never answer us till we too pass
the border land; till the gate so dark on this side, swings
open and permits us to pass through, where all is light and
life. Who can say that those who have gone on•before are
not the most highly favored of all ? What great work of
broader usefulness they may now be engaged in—ah! who
can tell
Then here's to the alumni. May we ever honor our old
school, and ourselves, our country and our God. And as
the years drift us.farther and farther apart, may we,each in
his own place, be doing work that is worth doing. The old
graduates—God bless 'em, every one.

ETHEL THOMAS.
FEW years ago it was learned that there was a vacancy
in the Michigan National Guard. This inspired a
great many of the young men of the town, several of
whom were members of the High School, to organize a
local military company. They met with very little success
at first but a few months later a rousing meeting was held
at which time new officers were elected whose experience
and enthusiasm predicted a bright and prosperous future.
After some consideration the company was named the
Hannah Rifles, in honor of its benefactor, Hon. Perry
Hannah.
Little did any one think that these boys would ever see
service, and much less be called to foreign soil to fight for
the liberty of the oppressed. But when a call came, only
a week after the destruction of the Maine, the patriotism
of every American heart was stirred to its depths and soon
the Hannah Rifles mustered for active duty.
Preparations for departure were hurriedly completed
as Saturday evening came to a close, for on the following
Monday, May 12, they were to leave. "The Sabbath
dawned with a strange unrest and hurrying to and fro."
Mothers and sisters were busy over the last loving service
they could render for how long—no one knew. Never before did a patriotic song sound so nearly like mockery as
when the words, "Sweet land of liberty " were sung. After
�a sleepless night the town arose at the sound of the long
continuous blast of whistles, to say good-bye to her soldier
boys.
The streets were soon crowded with throngs passing
hurriedly to the depot to join the hundreds already waiting.
There were brief and broken farewells—at length the moment of parting—then the train pulled slowly out and our
soldier boys were gone, leaving behind them thousands of
anxious hearts, true as the stars of heaven though clouded
by the sadness of the hour.
That which did most to bring the reality home to us as
students and classmates, was our return to the school room
where were the seats vacated by the boys who had enlisted.
With the memories which these thoughts brought to life,
tears came unbidden and words remained unspoken—the
language of the heart held full sway.
When Commencement night came all were saddened to
see the central chair draped with the Nation's colors in
honor of Amil Nerlinger, the president of the class.

The gallant Company M boys were hurried on from
place to place, at length reaching Newport News. There
they embarked on the auxiliary cruiser, Harvard, and
landed on Cuban soil the first day of July. From that time
the real hardships of war were experienced to the full.
Within a few hours after landing, preparations were completed and a march begun to the front along the muddy
Cuban trail, which tried the strength and endurance of the
strongest, yet only three Company M boys fell by the way
—one never to regain his regiment. At the break of day
the tired troops of the 34th got within sight of Santiago
just as the battle was renewed, and for the first time the
boys saw and heard a real battle. They were placed in reserve immediately. Soon Company M was selected to hold
�one of the most dangerous posts before Santiago, and well
did they perform their trust.
At the news of the home-coming of the boys the dark
cloud that had hovered over all so long began to scatter.
Every possible means of welcome was carried out. At last
after the crowd had waited until four o'clock in the morning the train rolled in amid continuous shouts of welcome.
But what a sad sight. Young men of the High School who
went away erect in form and vigorous in health, came back
bent from hardships and their systems saturated with mala ri a.
Although not fully recovered from the Cuban fevers, all
returned to complete their High School work with the exception of Eugene Hargraves, John Scott and Will Roberts.
Many of the boys were unable to enter at the first of the
term. With the help and encouragement of teachers, together with their own persistent efforts, Don Morgan, Ro-.
land Boughton and Verlin Thomas were enabled to graduate with the class of '99. The two remaining soldier boys
of the High School, Robert Walter and Will Nash, graduate
with the present class of 1900, which is very proud of the
fact that two of its members are real soldiers and helped
in no small degree to bring liberty to the Cubans.

�The Class History.
HILLIE W. HUBBELL, EDITH HASTINGS.
the evening we had been studying and planning how
ALLto write
the history of the Naughty Naughts. Had they
any history? Ask them and we could learn nothing. What
were we to do? We had thought of this, we had thought of
that, we had contrived, studied and wondered, and at length
in despair had given up. We decided to tell this best and
worst class that they must look elsewhere for the historians.
Our minds were not broad or deep enough to look back
nor even to make them look back and tell us what to write.
The fire in the old fire-place had nearly died out while
we sat pondering it over. The bed of coals was bright yet,
here and there sending forth a spark. Suddenly a number
of these sparks seemed to take life, and there, before us, stood
a band of tiny men, sprites we might call them. They wore
long black robes with flowing sleeves and on their heads
were tiny mortar-board caps. One seemed to be the leader.
He held in his hand a wand and looked very wise and dignified as he stood before us. This little fellow seemed to•
be in deep thought and did not notice that we were present
until a sudden flash of the lamp attracted his attention
toward the table where we sat. He seemed startled at first
and stepped toward his band as if in defence, but after a
moment he turned and said—"Good evening; what are you
thinking about?" Neither of us answered. He stood a
moment gazing intently and appeared as if reading our very
thoughts. Suddenly lifting his wand he came a little nearer
and said, "Ah, I have it, you are endeavoring to trace the
�4
history of the class of 1900 in the Traverse City Schools.
I, and my band, will lend you our aid providing you will
solemnly promise not to reveal to a living soul where you
obtained the information." We took the oath gladly. Following is the history as he told it:
"I shall take you back but twelve years, when the class
first began to seek the knowledge so essential to success in
life. It was the first day of school in the year 1888 when
twelve of the present class were assembled in the first
grade room. As it was necessary for the teacher to know
their names and ages, she called each one to the desk. First
came a bare-footed, chubby little boy from the back seat.
Upon being asked his name be replied, Edgar Keith, but
my mother calls me Eddie.' How old are you ?" Six years
old.' Now take your seat Edgar.' Next went forward one
dressed in blue, with striped stockings and very little white
hair. She gave her name as Mamie Despres, and while in the
first grade it was a common occurrence for her to sit on the
dunce's stool. As soon as Mamie was seated, without any
request, up sprang little Bertie Montague, who appeared
very anxious that the teacher should know his name. He
was quite a large boy, eight years of age, and very neatly
dressed. Seated across the aisle from him were two boys
who belong to the race that is noted for its money making,
Joe and Hiram Russky. Hiram started to go to the front,
but being timid he turned and taking Joe by the sleeve they
moved forward very slowly and bashfully.
" The teacher was now interrupted by a knock at the
door. On opening it, she espied a boy holding a little girl
by the hand. He said she was his sister Florence Thompson
and that she was old enough to come to school. Florence
was given a seat but soon began to cry, so a brave little boy,
Freddie Smith by name, offered to take her home. Fred
was always a good boy and the teacher knew by his face
that she could trust him. He is still trusted as is proven
by the little heart that he wears on his watch chain. The
4
�Naughty Naughts expressed a like faith in him when they
made him business manager of the Traversensian.
"As the door shut behind him a sob was heard from
Edna Holdsworth. On being asked what was the matter,
she said `Joe Ehrenberger is pulling my hair.' That night
the teacher made Joe stay after school. Having given him
a box of slate pencils to sharpen, she fastened the door and
told him the janitor would let him out when his task was
completed. Joe sharpened three pencils then opened the
window, climbed through and ran home.
"There are now left five other children, Edna Murrell,
Frankie Novotny, Eva Thacker, Flora Caldwell and Edith
Hastings. From this time on Edna Murrell was punished
repeatedly for her persistent whispering. But time makes
great changes, and now she is the artist and prophet of the
class. Frank's characteristic fault was tardiness, but he
has long since outgrown this childish failing. Eva Thacker
was a fat little girl, and on account of this, during the heat
of the summer, it was deemed necessary for her to have her
hair clipped. Flora was a freckled faced little child, whose
controlling passion was a love for mischief. This she has
never outgrown. Edith always liked the boys. It was then
no trouble—nor is it yet—for her to secure some easy means
of getting to and from school.
" The latter part of the week added the last child who
has attended the Traverse City Schools twelve consecutive
years. A tall lady brought her. She had long golden hair,
blue eyes and red cheeks. Do you know her? Her name is
Nellie Grant.
" The second year passed off very smoothly, with the
exception that a number were compelled to be absent on
account of having the measles.
"On the Monday morning which opened the spring term
of the third year, Frank Walton was added to the class. He
wore leather boots, pants neither long nor short, and his
hair was uncombed. But under this unpromising exterior
�there was a fine intellect, and Frank soon showed marked
ability in number work and has developed into an excellent
mathematician.
" The sixteenth member of the class was George Chase,
a slim, slow moving lad, who was very irregular in his attendance at school, and it is said often remained a way without good reason. As in childhood, he now thinks slowly,
talks slowly, walks slowly, and upon good authority it is
stated that when he calls upon a young lady friend he is
very slow about leaving her.
" The next year Will Snushall and Frances Caffrey
joined your band. Will was good in athletics and this won
for him many boy friends, and the fact that his picture may
now be seen among the football eleven shows that he has
fulfilled the promise of his youth. Frances, when very
young, thought she could reach heaven and so one day
started. She claims to dislike the opposite sex, and also
says that she is the youngest in the class, but we sprites
know some things.
" In the sixth grade, Winifred Fuller, a very sweet little
girl came among you. She has always been a favorite with
the teachers because of her good scholarship. This accounts
for her being salutatorian, she having been excelled by one
only, Florence Thompson, the valedictorian. Winifred's
love is in the junior class. A boy? No, not this time; but
a girl and the two are inseparable.
"About Christmas time Lucile Theobald first put in her
appearance. She was then a quiet, dignified girl, which
may account for her intense love for study. Lucile enjoys
household duties, is a very good cook, sews neatly and
doesn't object to washing dishes, a fact which the boys
should heed.
"The members of the class had now reached the age
when they should have put away childish thoughts and
actions, and attained unto the stature of men and women,
but it was not to be so. An explanation of this is found in
�the fact that one was now to join you whose principle of
life was Be a child as long as you can.' James Hilliard
Wilson Hubbell, called Hillie for short, joined the class the
year before entering the High School. At present he is
very much interested in a certain golden-haired, rosy-cheeked
girl, whom the sprites all love.
"At this time Fred Dago, a timid lad wearing a homespun suit, also came among you. That he was then so bashful that words seemed to choke him will be a surprise to
those who heard him represent Gobbo ' when the English
Literature class studied The Merchant of Venice.'
" When the class entered the High School it was joined
by four others, Calista Dunbar, Will H. Nash, Robert Walter, and David Jickling. Calista Dunbar, whom the boys
thought as pretty as a doll, can boast that she has never
been reproved by a High School teacher. Will H. Nash will
always be distinguished by his characteristic Roman nose
and jolly disposition. Of all his subjects he enjoys history
most, and while serving in the army was called Historical
Nash.' Robert Walter, your president. who was also a
soldier boy, is highly esteemed, especially by one whose
name you know. She has dark brown hair and eyes and
many, many messages have I carried to her in the years
gone by. No class can boast of as fine a cook among its
male members as can the Naughty Naughts. David Jickling
has won this enviable reputation, and has proven his skill
by the cakes, pies and oyster stews which you have enjoyed
at your social gatherings. The same indomitable energy
and perseverance which characterized him while learning
to cook he has carried into his school work, with very satisfactory results.
" The second High School year, Maud Robertson, a
quiet, modest girl, was classified with you. She has always
studied diligently and as a result her record is one of the
best. At the time when the Naughty Naughts ran away
from school Maud objected at first, and said she would not
�I
go unless all were excused, but when the day came she repented and went.
" At the opening of the Junior year, Moses Gilbert and
Marion Pratt entered the class. Moses received his name
from Moses in the bull-rushes, and who dare say there is no
connection between this and the fact that he will never pass
or read even a business note during school hours. We sprites
know that he is bashful, but even this may be a blessing in
disguise. That it has proven such to him is shown by his
fine scholarship. Marion Pratt is a tall, dignified and decidedly independent young woman, yet one whose winsomeness has won her many friends. She, as editor-in-chief of
the Traversensian has spared no time or labor in making
it a success.
"In the last semester of the Senior year, there was
added to your number yet one more, Alma Oviatt. The class
has not yet become acquainted with her, but we know her
as a kind-hearted girl and an excellent student.
" I have now completed the history of the thirty-one
members composing the Naughty Naughts. As a class, it
has been troublesome, but if it be true that mischievous
children win the heart most readily your place is assured.
In one thing your class stands unrivalled by the records of
previous years,—you count among your number more boys
than girls, the proportion being sixteen to fifteen.
" With a wish that I and my band may be of service to
you in the future, I bid you adieu." And before we were
able to thank them they disappeared from whence they
came.
�Class Oration.
BERT MONTAGUE.
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED years ago, when
TWO
Nahum wrote of chariots resembling torches, which
would rim through the highways like lightning and with
terrible collisions, he may have prophesied the locomotive;
but earlier still, by nearly a thousand years, Job inquires
if the lightnings cannot be sent to convey intelligence.
Three millenials pass away, and Morse proves that they can.
The prophecy of the bible is not only fulfilled but has
been so enlarged and added to, that besides the transmission of intelligence from shore to shore and from continent
to continent, at a rate which encircles the globe seven times
per second, great enterprises depending upon these lightnings now furnish the means of support to over 1,000,000
people. From the time of Adam they have waited for man
and invited his inspection, but not before Thales had discovered the peculiar property which amber possessed, when
rubbed with silk, was the subject presented to the world in
a form to be developed into the science of all sciences. Like
many other discoverers, he little knew what he had found
nor dreamed what the outcome of his wonderful discovery
would be, and man in his ignorance allowed the dark mantle of mystery to enshroud it for nearly 2,000 years more,
when another and greater thinker appears in the person of
William Gilbert. He solved some of its mysteries and rendered it a science worthy of the study and deepest investigation by all the philosophers of his time, and the time to
come. Owing to its origin, he named it from a Greek word
�meaning amber, and henceforth we know it as electricity—
the terror and yet the most obedient slave of man. Such
is the birth of electrical science in the knowledge of the
world.
Another 300 years is employed to prepare it for the
future. During this time such men as Davy, Faraday, Galvani, Volta, Ohm, Ampere, DuFay, Oersted, Coulomb, and
Franklin, have discovered certain laws and investigated its
properties with the result that galvanic electricity, magneto
electricity, electro magnetism, thermo electricity, and induced electricity, are produced and form the foundation of
our present advancement. To the tireless research of these
men we are indebted for what we now know. Through their
efforts we are privileged to enjoy the advantages of electricity.
In forcing its way to the front, electricity has had to
contend with opposition hard to overcome, in the form of
public opinion, caused by the deep mystery, in some cases
almost amounting to superstition, with which it was first
introduced into the world, together with the knowledge that
they had next to no knowledge concerning its nature, but
once overcome, this opposition has only served to make its
position firmer and now to many people anything electrical
is a possibility.
The year 1876 is known to us as a time when the nations
of the world sent to Philadelphia specimens of their handiwork to be exhibited as the best representative of their advancement along the lines of art and culture. Of the vast
multitudes that thronged to that place, a very small part
perhaps noticed a department where various electrical novelties were exhibited. Less than twenty years later another
and a greater exhibition is held at Chicago, and this
time the nations assemble to witness the development which
these two decades had produced. Wonderful is the change.
One sees erected to the science of electricity a structure
magnificent in architecture by day, fairly ablaze with 138,-
�000 electric lights at night, and.ever rumbling with the whirr
of electrical machinery, whose horse-power passes into the
thousands. This is the advancement that marks the dawn
of the electrical age. The world has passed through the
ages of stone, bronze and iron, and now stands on the
threshold of a new one which may surpass our highest expectations, and when our houses may be lighted with electricity without wires.
Our forefathers lived and prospered without electricity,
but their living is not our living and their prosperity is not
our prosperity. We live in a different age. The world has
changed. It has advanced and will not be content without
further advancement. The slow going methods of olden
times no longer supply the requirements of modern industries. It once took weeks and months to send messages
any great distance, but the telegraph made it possible to
send them in an instant, later to send seventy-two messages at once over the same wire, and finally telegraphy
was carried on without wires. Our ancestors used torches,
lamps and candles to supply light, but now the arc and incandescent lights take up the sun's work, and there are
10,000 electric lighting plants in our country to supply the
current. If the dynamo and motor were the only products
that electricity had given us we would be greatly indebted
to it, for in these is realized the aim of the engineers to
transfer and transform energy with little loss together with
great power and small space to be occupied. The dynamo
runs the motor and the motor runs anything from the dentist's little drill to the heaviest factory machinery. There
are automobiles propelled by steam and automobiles propelled by gas, but they are all slow compared with the
electrical variety, as was well 'demonstrated in the New
York races. Unfortunately the medicinal powers of electricity have been exaggerated, but slowly some of these exaggerations are becoming truths, and so successful that Mr.
Crotte in New York, in dealing with consumption by elec-
�tricity has cured all the cases in the first stage that he has
tried, seventy five per cent. of those in the second stage,
and thirty per cent. of those in the third stage or hopeless
cases. Not long ago the whole world was interested in
another discovery which, besides being useful to science in
general, was particularly so to surgery. Thales or Gilbert
could not have dreamed of taking photographs of the interior organs of the body, but Roentgen made it possible and
opened up a new field of investigation. To enumerate all
the uses of electricity would require a long time, even if we
left out heating, cooking, baking, frying, boiling, roasting,
ironing, electrolysis, electroplating, electrotyping, mining,
fusing everything, and welding iron, copper, nickel, steel,
annealing armor plate, production of carborundum (nearly
as hard as diamond), fire alarms, burglar, clock, water, heat
and all kinds of alarms, railway, marine, army and navy
signaling, regulators, torpedoes and search lights. These
we could leave out, but we would not leave out the telephone, the pride of electricity, for in it we see one of the
seven wonders of the world and the beauty of science.
Such wonders as these have become common to the public, and it takes them as-matters of fact. But the scientist
demands an explanation and with this in view has for some
time applied himself to the deepest investigation. First,
it was believed that electricity was composed of two fluids,
having positive and negative properties, but such serious
objection arose to this theory and so complex did it become
that for some time it was considered a mystery too deep to
fathom. While in this state of perplexity, the molecular
theory, the result of experiment after experiment and the
theory upon which light, heat and gravity also depend is
developed and leads the scientist to believe that all space
is permeated with an ideally elastic and incompressible fluid
called ether, so thin that it penetrates and circulates through
the finest steel, glass or diamond. Also that all matter is composed of minute particles called molecules, so small that
were a drop of water to be magnified to the size of the earth
�its molecules would be about as large as the ordinary shot.
Impossible as this may seem, let us remember that the microscope, though far from powerful enough to reveal these
molecules, does disclose in the densest or smoothest object
pores large enough for the movement of millions of molecules,
and so by magnifying farther and still farther we would
finally find that there are no pores but that all matter is
made up of these minute particles and that they are constantly moving at a rate of from a few inches to 5,000 feet
per second. Upon these two facts the theory is based that
electricity is due to undulations or waves in the ether and
the vibrating molecules in the grosser matter, each having
a direct relation to each other, that is, the vibrations cause
the undulations and these in turn cause the vibration. So
closely are the theories of light and electricity connected
that light is now known to be only a different form of the
electrical phenomenon.
If waves are produced in this ether which vibrate at
about 1,650,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second chemical
effects are produced. If the rate is from 395 to 831 trillion
vibrations per second light is noticed. Heat appears at 129
trillion and electricity at 100 million vibrations per second.
Such results as these are the products of master minds
of science, who for the last forty years have been studying
these phenomena, and as yet much of the exact nature is
unknown, but the start has been made in the right direction
and it is possible that the next forty years will produce a
complete solution, for as science advances and men advance
in science and their knowledge broadens, once complicated
matters reveal themselves in beautiful simplicity that indicates the planning of a Master Mind, infinitely greater than
ours. We see but dimly into nature's methods and understand less, but as our investigations into the mysteries of
heaven and earth progress, God reveals to us their solution
as our minds become prepared to receive it.
We have seen why we may call this the dawn of the
electrical age. Fads come and go, but when electricity came
�it came to stay. It is not the result of a single century's
preparation, but has required for its present development
over two thousand six hundred years. We may imagine
the future and guess what it will produce, but here we must
stop, and with the belief that nothing has a brighter future
than electricity, while doing our best to make it so, give to
future generations the result of our labors to fulfill the
prophecy that we are now living in the beginning of a great
and glorious age when electricity will take the place of
stone, bronze or iron.

CLASS OF 1900
�CI(Ns Prophecy.
EDNA MURRELL.
I N ONE of the most familiar books of the land it is written that, " In those days there shall be prophets and
false prophets." And behold those days are at hand, for
by uncontrollable events, even I, the weakest of the class,
have been appointed to foretell the destiny of my mates,
and the wonders that shall surely come to pass. So hear,
O hear Ye, class of 1900, the joys and sorrows, the successes and failures of your future, as here set forth. For
it shall come to pass in the days following the graduation
of the class, that the members thereof shall be scattered, as
seeds caught by the four winds of the earth and blown
thither and yon. And in the many changes of time and
periods, you are each to have a part.
For behold, I see before me many islands, grouped together in the Pacific Ocean near the main coast of Asia.
And on one of these islands there is a city, and flags float
throughout like unto the flag of America. At the outskirts
of the town, are many tents, set in rows and at intervals
are guns stacked up together. In one tent from which a
flag floats, and upon which a sign bears the words " General's Tent," I see two men. They are seated at a table
with maps and papers spread before them. And one is arrayed in uniform while the other wears citizen's dress. And
the one in uniform is Moses Gilbert, and the other is William Nash. And Moses speaks thus, "One in the position
of Governor General has great responsibilities and must
deal with them carefully." " Yes, "says Will, " and regard-
�ing those plans, I cannot decide now. I will think it over.
Come to me to-morrow at three."
In another part of the city, there is a church. The
cross upon it shows that it is Catholic. Near by is a large
building which is evidently a mission school, for many
children play round about. A figure of the priest in a long
black coat and three-cornered cap, comes out for a morning
walk, and I recognize him by his slow moving steps. It is
none other than Geo. Chase. The bell now rings, and the
children hasten indoors. Now I see them inside with hands
folded, waiting for the teacher to open the exercises. And
now as I look, Lucile Theobald says, " Let us begin the day
by singing 'America'."
The Philippine scene is gone now, and lo. I see in its
place, the coast of Alaska. It is Cape Nome, and the tide
is out. Down at the edge of the water, as far as the eye
can reach, are many people all along the shore. They are
not far apart,' and each has a pan. They are mining.
Among the number I see the familiar figures of Mamie Despres, Calista Dunbar and Joe Ehrenburger. The tide begins to rise, and they to retreat. Each carries back a little
sack of gold dust secured from the ocean during the
day. And there is a happy look on their faces, as if
they were satisfied with the reward of their hard day's
labor.
A change comes over the nature of the scene. A city
at the head of a bay comes to my vision. As it grows
clearer, I recognize it, for I have seen it before. There are
many familiar objects. A large red court-house; a statue
of a soldier on guard near by, and a massive structure,
which looks like the old Central, grown to an immense size.
And there are many new things, strange new streets, new
buildings, new parks. And running on the principal streets
of the city, electric street cars. I see them plainly. They
stop at a corner where several people get on, now they
start once more. I see the inside. Fred Dago comes down
�•
the aisle in the dress of a conductor, and says, " Fare,
please." The car stops at the public square, and many
people alight and make their way to an open place and
wait. Now I hear in the distance the noise of a drum and
the footfalls of marching pilgrims. Then the sound of
singing strikes my ear and I distinguish these words, " Are
your garments spotless? Are they white as snow? Are you
washed in the blood of the Lamb?" By this time they are
near and the banner which they carry declares them to be
the Salvation Army. They hold a meeting here in the
square, and then Captain Francis Caffrey, says, " Lieutenant Caldwell will now pass among you and take
up the evening offering."
Darkness falls on the city, and when it is again light,
I find other things which I did not notice before. A great
manufacturing establishment attracts my attention. Upon
the outer walls this sign is painted: " Improved Roentgen
Ray Machine Works." As the building comes nearer, I see
a window whereon I read, Fred Smith, President; Joe Russky, Director; Hiram Russky, Secretary. I now see the
inside. Fred is explaining the invention to a visitor. He
says: " Yes, they are widely used, Supt. Novotny has one
in his office by which he measures the mental development
of students. It is a great success. It takes the place of
examinations entirely."
As I glance about the city, I am attracted by bill-boards
of brightly-colored pictures. There are ladies on horseback,
jumping high fences, Japanese boys upon high ladders, and
great cages of wild animals. At the top of these pictures
are the words:
" Wilson Hubbell's
Great Railroad Shows."
Night comes and when daylight next appears, all the
city dwells in quietness. In one of the most beautiful parts of
the city is an immense tabernacle, the roof of which is in
�the form of a dome, and shines like silver. 'Tis the day of
worship and hundreds of people enter, and become silent,
waiting for the hour of service. The organist appears followed by the choir. Then the minister takes his place and
announces the first hymn. While the huge waves of music
float out from the pipe organ, I look at the minister and see
in him our old friend Edgar Keith. My eyes next seek the
choir, where the sweet soprano voice of Nellie Grant has
attracted my attention. She stands, as of old, with a faraway look in her eyes, and her voice made sympathetic
through sorrows, has wonderful power
The church is gone and lo, a new scene is brought near,
and I see a great city. 'Tis the capital of the AngloSaxon Alliance. In the midst of it are the large govern.
ment buildings. In the chief office of one of these, are
seen, eagerly talking together, David Jickling and Wm.
Snushall. And David is the greater of the two. He is the
chief ruler of the Alliance. He is the Mikado. And under
him, William has charge of the American division, and he
is called the Tycoon. Another building nearby contains the
greatest library in the world. It has in it hundreds of
thousands of books. In a large armchair sits a figure reading a newspaper. And 'tis the form of a lady. She has
black hair. She seems familiar, yet I am not sure, she looks
at the paper so closely I cannot see her face. The paper
which interests her so much is entitled The World's Christian
Chronicle, edited by Robert Walter. Now she seems to have
finished reading. She looks up and I recognize the
features of Alma Oviatt. She goes to a table and begins
to write. Now I look about the room. On one side I find a
case filled with books in a peculiar tan and brown binding.
These are the titles of some: "Theory of the Lost Art of
Preserving the Attention of Children," " Science of Sentiment in Condensed Form," " Fountain of Perpetual Youth
discovered in use of Liquid Air." And all these books have
the words, " Oviatt Series," on their covers. In another
�case, I see among the poet's works, a shelf of books bound
in blue and grey. Some are dramas, some lyrics, some
epics, and Eva Thacker is their author.
Gradually this scene fades from my vision, and I see
before me "Tacoma the Beautiful." Great grounds are
here laid out, whereon many buildings are builded, and over
the entrance to the grounds this sign is fixed, "World Fair,
1925." Within are crowds of people looking at their foreign brothers and at their displays. The buildings also are
crowded, and much is to be seen. One great building is
for exhibits of women, and many dainty articles are found
therein. Among the exhibits is a collection of fine needlework. This is greatly admired, not only by ladies, but by
gentlemen, and none of it would they have seen had it not
been for our old friend, Edith Hastings. This building is
in charge of another of our schoolmates, Marion Pratt, who
is assisted in her duties by Maud Robertson.
In the Art Gallery, among the most beautiful of the
famous pictures, fsee an animal piece in which horses and
dogs are conspicuous. The fame of this is greater than the
fame of all others! And the artist's name, Florence
Thompson, is passed from one to another of the spectators.
The Sculpture Gallery next attracts me. I see in it
many fine statues. The most striking piece here and the
one which attracts the most attention was made by Winifred Fuller. And great is her fame therefrom.
In another building are collected together the great inventions of the world. And here I do see much machinery.
One little machine is of great value to medical science, as
it is designed to give warning, when disease germs become
too numerous. It has made the fame and fortune of Edna
Holdsworth permanent.
There is also a large invention on exhibition. It is a
means of conveyance, which is to be used between the earth
and the other planets. It has already made several suc-
�cessful trips to the moon and is called, " Montague's Un limited Transit Propeller."
This scene vanishes and yet in another part of the
grounds I behold the inside of an immense building. And
many people are therein, and a great hush rests over them.
And now a mighty voice speaks, and the people listen
intently. And the speaker tells the people of their vices
and crimes and proclaims to them the ruin of their children, the destruction of their cities, and the downfall of this
great nation, if they continue as they now live. He 'does
say there is one thing more than all others which is the
cause, and which if removed, would benefit not only this
country but the whole world. He speaks with a powerful
voice, and the people are sore afraid and do tremble, and
fear to breathe. " What is the cause of all this misery?"
says the speaker. " Liquor and nothing but liquor. Fathers, if you would save your boys, help the city, and prevent
the destruction of your country, put down the liquor." I
stared spellbound. I can scarcely believe that great strong
voice proceeds from that slim little man in whom I have for
some time recognized the features of Frank Walton.
And now, verily, verily, 0 ye class of 1900, know ye
that these many changes that have been portrayed to my
vision are to be your future experiences. And I do hereby
prophecy, that you shall each attend to your separate callings, singly and without a helpmate. And although the
walls of the Central Schbol Building may crumble and
decay, and the waters of Grand Traverse Bay be dried up,
your futures are herewith foreseen or I am a false prophet.
�Class Song.
MRS M. K. BUCK.
Motto: Ad Astra per Aspera.
E HAIL the day that marks for us another vict'ry won:
The sweet reward of years of toil. of tasks and lessons done:
But while we feel the thrill of joy, regrets will mingle still,
And hearts with deep emotion swell, and eyes with tears o'erfill.
For we must sever tender ties, must part with friends grown dear,
And leave the scenes we've learned to love with every passing year.
W
No more for us the clanging bell may sound its summons loud:
No more o'er desk and problem deep our aching heads be bowed:
But life holds problems deeper still than any we have met,
And lessons harder far to learn than we have mastered yet.
The way is long and steep and rough that leads up to the stars—
But who would be a conqueror and wear no battle scars ?
Let courage then our hearts inspire—chase tears and gloom away.
Let youth and hope and joy have sway on this our festal day.
We'll pledge once more a brimming health to friends and teachers dear,
And to our Alma Mater give one loud and rousing cheer.
Yet let us sing one parting song to happy days gone by,
Then turn to meet life's duties stern with purpose true and high.
CHORUS.
Farewell to happy school days on dear old Traverse shore,
In memory aye we'll treasure them and con their pleasures o'er.

EDNA HOLDSWORTH.
E, THE SENIOR CLASS of the High School of the
city of Traverse City, county of Grand Traverse and
State of Michigan, mindful of the uncertainties of class
life, do make, publish and declare, this, our last will and
testament, in manner following, That is to say,—
After the payment of our just debts and funeral
charges, we give, devise and bequeath all of our property,
both real and personal, as follows:
First. We give, devise and bequeath to our beloved sister, the Junior Class, our name and the honor and dignity
which come of its possession.
Second. To said sister do we also bequeath, unreservedly, the right to publish an " Annual," thus honoring the
school, and preserving her name and record for ages to
come.
Third. To Junior, and Junior only, we give the cherished right of absenting herself from school, a half day
next winter, for the purpose of taking a ride to the Bingham schoolhouse, or to any other schoolhouse she may wish
to visit.
Fourth. Mindful of past narrow escapes from untimely
death in the mad rush for seats on the first day of school,
we bequeath to our youngest sister, 1903, a number of life
preservers, now in charge of Mr. Curtis.
Fifth. We, furthermore, bequeath to the dignified Seniors, to be, the back row of seats in the assembly room, on
condition that they be never known to whisper, pass notes,
or eat pie in school.
W
�Sixth. Believing that our other sister wishes to carry
on the good work we have commenced, we give to 1902, a
roll of crepe paper and some brass-headed tacks to be used
in adorning the mantel in the assembly room. 1902 may
also replace the old, faded green ribbon on mantel drape,
with a new one.

clearly in the distance,
SOUNDING
List! It is the bugler's call,
Sounding at the dawn of morning,
Urging forward one and all.
Onward! Onward! is the signal,
Now press forth with all thy might;
Do not tarry vainly waiting;
None but thee canst win the fight.
God has given us a mission,
Each a work that we must do;
Strive to do it, do not falter,
Ever faithful, ever true.
Think not life is always sunshine;
Clouds may often hide the sun,
And the night tide come upon us
Long before the journey's run.
But if thou choos't so to make it,
Life with sunshine overflows.
Note the beauty all around you
Count the joys and not the woes.
Grow not weary and estranged,
When grave foes and fears invade;
Let thy courage never waver,
Not disheartened, nor dismayed.
�Then let not thy heart be troubled,
Tho' thy post be in the rear
Of the van, all can't be leaders,
See'st thou not thy duty clear?
Faint not neath thy heavy burden;
Bear up and fresh courage take,
Tho' thy comrades round grow weary,
Thou needst not thy way forsake.
May the Naughty Naughts be faithful
'Til their work on earth is done;
' Til at last the conflict's ended,
And the final victory's won.
Solutatoru.

(BARENTS, schoolmates, friends, we bid you welcome.
There are few words more beautiful, few more cherished, yet we greet you to-night with a full realization of
its deepest, truest meaning. We are glad you are here, glad
because we know you are interested in us and we give you
most cordial welcome.
We have sought earnestly for fitting words with which
to greet you, yet found none so fraught with meaning as the
one word, welcome. What then is its message? What the
hidden depth of our greeting? We sought diligently, and
at length there appeared encircling it the beautiful words,
welcome every one. Still not satisfied, we looked within
and there found its character meaning. We bring you earnest welcome, loyal, loving welcome, a cheery welcome would
�we bring. Again our welcome is outlasting as the stars,
and yet it is a modest welcome. We give you earnest welcome. We stand to-night on the threshold. Behind lie our
school days, the period when the course of our lives ran
smoothly; when thoughtful, loving care was given to our
development, when all the rough places were made smooth.
But now the world of active life opens before us, and each
must put forth earnest effort if he would win. Our school
days have, in some measure, not only prepared us to live,
but they have shown us what life really is. Their training
has made us feel that life is real. And so while we stand
for a moment on the threshold, looking back with reluctant
gaze and then forward with clear, hopeful glance, we pause
to give you earnest welcome.
And, again, with hearts overflowing with gratitude
toward you who have done so much for us we give you loyal,
loving welcome. You have been our helpers and have given
us encouragement. When, perhaps, we would have fallen
you have inspired us with new energy and cheered us on.
Our ideals are high, because you have inspired them, and
have shown us only the good and noble in life. You have
seen that notwithstanding our many imperfections, there
was that within us which, when fully developed, would
make a strong, noble character. It is said that when Sostratus, the sculptor, had completed the famous watch-tower
of Pharse, in Egypt, that he carved his name on the wall
of it. This he covered with cement and to please the king
he engraved the monarch's name on the cement. The storm
dashed and beat against it, the cement crumbled and the
king's name faded; but the name of Sostratus, the sculptor,
shone out clear and bright, for it was carved in the imperishable rock. Thus have we allowed little faults and weaknesses to hide the impress of the Divine. But you have
been the agents who have labored with true courage and
patience to remove all blemishes in order that the imprint
of the Divine Architect might shine forth clear and bright.
�We can never repay you. yet we trust that the loyal, loving
welcome that we bring may express in some measure the
depth of our gratitude.
Then, too, we bring a welcome of good cheer. We would
feel alniost despondent at the thought of separating from
all the old associations, of leaving behind our school days,
if it were not that the future invites us to broader, higher
duties. We dismiss the joyous past, but look forward
hopefully. We have worked with sincerity and tried to
accomplish all the tasks assigned us, that we might be the
better fitted for the great work of the future. We are not
fully equipped for life's work, yet the years spent in the
school room have developed our abilities and shown us that
the strength which lies hidden within will come forth when
necessity requires. The demand for workers is great and
we stand ready to answer it. With so much beckoning to
us, we cannot but make our greeting a cheery one.
We would not give you a formal greeting but our welcome is outlasting as the stars. We no longer think of you
as men and women apart from our lives, with duties and
pursuits in which we cannot join. The time has come when
We are one with you, when all our sympathies and aims become one with yours. Our welcome to-night brings to a
close the period of preparation and opens the door to the
broad, active life of the future. We have been fitting ourselves for this, and now we must enter. To-morrow we
shall become a part of the great, busy world, in which you
live. And so our welcome reaches out into the future, and
yet it is a modest welcome. The knowledge that the whole
world has opened before us does not make us feel elated
and over-confident. When we see the heights to which some
have climbed, and the great deeds that have been accomplished, we are humbled and made to realize how much still
lies in the future. We feel in some measure equipped for
life, and yet when we try to imagine all that might be attained, all the great possibilities for us to make realities,
�our preparation seems but to have awakened us to a conception of how great the world is and how small our present
attainments. Our fund of knowledge seems great now, but
when we think of all the learning and wisdom of the ages,
we realize that we have made only a beginning, have laid
only the foundation of a broad education. The thought that
the whole world lies before us and that our opportunities
are boundless gives to our salutation a greater depth of
meaning and makes the welcome that the class of 1900 extend to you a true one.
Valedictoru.
FLORENCE THOMPSON.
OOD-BY carries with it the idea of sadness; but to-night
I desire to give you a newer, a more joyous interpretation. What then does the word good-by mean? Webster
defines it as the act of taking leave. Instead of its meaning the leaving of all that is good and beautiful and dear to
our hearts, let it mean the opening of a door through which
one may pass leaving behind all that is mean and ignoble,
and reaching forward to a grander, nobler life. Can it be
done?
Nations and individuals have made it a threshold to
better things. One need not look far to find instances of this.
When the English people, through the Commons, denied
the divine right of kings, and rose in revolution, they made
good-by to tyranny the threshold to justice and freedom.
The American colonies said " Taxation without representation is Tyranny." Then rising against their mother-land,
and declaring that all men are created equal, they threw
off the yoke of oppression. Look at our late Civil War.
G
�By a great river of blood, our land was cleansed from the
dark blot of slavery. During the first part of the sixteenth
century, Leo X, Pope of Rome, found himself in need of
money to carry on his various undertakings. Accordingly
he made a grant of indulgences. About this time Martin
Luther became convinced that the entire system of ecclesiastical penances and indulgences was wrong. So when
the indulgences were brought into Germany, Luther drew
up ninety-five theses, or articles, in which he stated his
views respecting them. These theses were at first nailed
to the church door at Wittenburg, then scattered by the
press throughout all Europe. As he grew bolder, he
attacked other teachings of the Roman Catholic church.
The entire continent was aroused. The Pope issued a bull
against Luther, declaring him a heretic, if he did not
recant within sixty days. In reply Luther publicly burned
the papal bull. By this act he said good-by to the power
of Papacy and welcome to the freedom of worship.
To-night we stand on the threshold. Behind lie both
failure and success. In what have we failed ? In many
things besides recitations and examinations. We have all
failed in developing perfect character. Bad habits have
been formed; the cultivation of good habits neglected.
Yet this should not discourage us, because we have succeeded in many things. With the help of teachers and
friends, we have strengthened our character and grown into
a broader more useful life. But saying good-by to all our
failures, can we not, with the strength we have gained, like
the chambered nautilus, form for ourselves upon our former
life a character which is far beyond anything we have yet
attained. How beautiful an illustration of this has been
given us by our own poet, Holmes, in " The Chambered
Nautilus" :
�Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
It left the past year's dwelling for the new;
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door.
Stretched in his last found home, and knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by thee,
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap forlorn !
From thy dead lips a clearer note is horn
Than ever Triton blue from wreathed horn !
While on my ear it rings,
Through the deep caves of thought I hear a voice that sings:—
Build thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul,
As the swift seasons roll'.
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
'Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life's unresting sea !
May we not take this to ourselves? The character of
each is yet lacking in some thing. It may be in honesty or
in courage, in self-control or in loyalty to duty. A character, to be complete, should possess all these. Such an one
is worth more than rubies or diamonds. It is priceless to
its possessor. Even if one lacks natural genius or a fine intellect, or if he is slow of speech and hesitating in the
choice of words, yet if he has a strong character, he will
succeed in the end. The power of his influence will be
great wherever he goes.
One essential element in such a character is honesty,
not only in word but also in deed Little reliance can be
placed upon a person who is not honest. In the business
world this is especially noticeable. Although he who carries on his work in this way, may find it difficult to get a
start, yet if he has the necessary pluck, he will gain slowly
but surely until he stands in the first rank. He who is dis-
�honest often gains wealth very quickly, but just as often
he loses it as quickly. Even if he is able to keep it, yet he
never enjoys it with that peace of mind with which an honest man does his rightly earned possessions. "Honesty is
the best policy," is an old but truthful maxim. It has been
tried by many and has always proven true. The most renowned men in the history of the United States have often
been quoted as instance of this. From this trait of character, one with whom you are all familiar, received in his
youth a nickname which not only clung to him throughout
life, but one which is connected with his name at the prestime,—Honest Abe Lincoln. Whoever is really what he
seems to be, always wins a place for himself.
But it ta.-Ees courage " to walk honestly in the sight of
all men," and also for many other things. It is often very
hard to do what is right, when one can see something easier
near by. But every victory strengthens one and makes the
next task lighter. Courage is needed to break down bad
habits and to form good ones. The courageous " No," has
many times saved a man from falling under the tyrannical
power of some bad habit. But the person who has the courage
to stand for what he knows is right. in the face of opposition
or mocking has a powerful influence over others. Before the
Civil War, William Lloyd. Garrison, the editor of The Liberator, was one who dared to stand for the freedom of the
slave in spite of bitter opposition and even persecution.
These things show how necessary to a good character are
honesty and courage.
And to these let us add self-control. For as some one
has said, " self-control is the root of all the virtues.- It is a
hard thing to gain and difficult to keep, but is of great value
to its possessor. Perfect self-control means a constant
guard over thoughts, words, and deeds. He who thinks of
nothing but that which is pure, never says anything wrong
or unkind, and never does anything which he knows to be
wrong in the sight of God, has learned perfect self-control.
�Although few, if any, ever reach this ideal standard, yet all
may strive for it. According to the Book of Books, " He
that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city." Every step
taken toward this goal is one more step in the building of
a good character.
But there is still another point, without which every
character is incomplete. Loyalty to duty. How much
meaning there is in these three words! Few there are who
have not sacrificed something for this, and many have given
up leisure, happiness, wealth, friends, home, and even life
itself for duty's sake. Washington gave up the comforts
and retirement of his home-life again and again, because
he thought it his duty to serve his country. One's duty
must be determined by his conscience and carried out by his
will. He who does this is not a reed swayed by every changing current, but a rock to which weaker ones cling for support. Truly the abiding sense of duty is the very crown of
character.
We thus, in part at least, see what each character
should possess. Honesty, courage, self control, and a sense
of duty are essentials. These combined with a trust in God,
will go to form a beautiful character.
Classmates, we must say good-by to-night. But to what?
Instead of saying good-by to the good things behind, can
we not make it a good-by to failures and low ideals, and
a welcome to a stronger character, a nobler, grander life.
Teachers, we wish to thank you for your earnest work in
our behalf, for your sympathy and help at all times. 0, do
not say good-by to us, but rather welcome us into a closer
union, a higher life. We shall still need guidance and
advice. Will you not help us to perfect our characters, that
we may become strong and earnest men and women ?
Classmates, shall I say good-by ? No. Rather let me
say welcome. Welcome to more earnest endeavors, higher
ideals, stronger characters, and into a grander, nobler life.

��Junior Class Histoiv.
ALFRED AYERS.
I N the school year 1897-8, what is known as the Junior
class consisted of about ninety freshmen. The members
of the class, looking far, far back into the past year, when
they were members of the eighth grade, remembered all the
trials of that early period: and philosophizing that those
early struggles were only so many foundation stones in the
tower of their future characters, they set themselves to work
on the lessons of the day with very commendable diligence.
Sophomore year for the class saw the ranks thinned a
little, the membership being reduced to seventy-five. The
majority of the members were pursuing either English or
Scientific courses. As the classes in recitation work became
smaller more and better work was done and greater satisfaction given to all.
Aiming to maintain the standard of the tenth grade
work, the class continued the Junior Lyceum, which had
been organized by the Sophomores of the previous year.
The programs of the Lyceum were modeled after those of
the Senior Lyceum of the High School. No doubt many a
Lincoln in debate or a Patrick Henry in oratory will, in the
future, date the birth of his great powers from the day on
which he gave a three or five minutes talk from the rostrum
of the old High School room. The results of the good work
done by this Lyceum are shown by the strong work of the
Juniors in the Senior Lyceum during this year.
From the ranks of the Juniors comes one who, if not the
first, has no superior in the debates which take place in the
�High School life. He easily won first place among the six
speakers who took part in the debate of December 15, 1899,
between the Manistee Franklin Club and our Senior Lyceum.
Again came Commencement time, and again the beginning of a new school year. Ranks are thinned still more.
Out of the seventy five Sophomores forty-five or six students
take up Junior work. Many students must remain out of
school this year to earn the money that we hope will bring
them back next year. These students have been missed
both by their classmates and their instructors.
The Junior class met and formally organized near the
middle of the year. Chas. Salsbery was elected president
of the class; Lottie Nash, Secretary; Wayne Waters, Treasurer. We, as a class, have followed the example set by the
last two Junior classes, of giving a reception to the Seniors
and the High School teachers. This has come to be one of
the pleasing features of our Commencement time.
We as a class are proud of our girls. Very much of the
best work of the High School is done by the young ladies.
Committee work, in the social life of the school, is done to
a great extent by them, because they know so well " how
to do things " and " the boys are so stupid " you know.
Boys always are when there is work to be done. In the
literary work as well, our girls are leaders.
We hope that very few of the class will find out, at the
time of the final examinations, how terribly they may be
suffering from that old, old affliction, sore eyes; for we want
to see every Junior coming back next September, wearing
a hat like those the Seniors support, a number nine. May
the fates be propitious to us, one and all. When the new
year shall have arrived, may we be permitted to assemble
once again at the call of the old school bell and carry forward the labors of the final year to a pleasing and creditable close.

IDA LARKINS.
I N THE northern part of Michigan, at the head of the
I
beautiful Grand Traverse Bay, is situated the thriving
little city of Traverse City with its many mills, churches and
schools, the latter of which are noted far and near, as the
instructors faithfully strive to do their duty to the hundreds of children who are to be the future men and women
of our country.
But it is not of our school as a whole that I would write
but of a class of eighty or more who graduated from the
eighth grade in eighteen hundred and ninety-eight, and who
at this writing are about to finish the tenth grade. As they
entered the high school they felt that they were starting out
upon a new era of life's work, and that they must be more
thoughtful, more studious and more dignified if they were
to be enrolled as students of the High School. But, alas
for human nature, when the students are young and full of
life, the novelty soon wears off, and although this class
meant no disrespect to their teachers, they were soon the
same fun-loving, mischievous set that they were in the
eighth grade. Although the teachers were as patient as
teachers usually are, I fear they were often puzzled to know
what to do with such a set of unruly young people. But
remembering the old adage " Satan finds some mischief still
for idle hands to do," they rose to the occasion and said,
" we must give them more to do, we will organize them."
At this time we had our Junior Lyceum with its music
recitations, and debates, but as our numbers were so many,
�each individual was called upon so seldom that we still had
much time upon our hands. Therefore, November 21, 1899,
a meeting was called and class officers elected. At one of
our meetings in order that our future members of Congress
might be drilled in parliamentary forms and usages, a mock
senate was formed and the " Honorable members from the
different States discussed and voted upon the leading questions of the day in a manner worthy of the august assemblage." At another meeting committees were appointed to
select the class yell, motto, colors and flower. The colors
chosen were green and white; the white symbolizing the
purity of our friendship both for our teachers and classmates; the green, the freshness in which these memories
will be held. The class flower chosen was the beautiful
Lily of the Valley. As the yell is a necessary adjunct of
every class we chose the following:
Hi, He: Ho, He: Hi, He; Who
Were the class of 1902?
Here we are as may be seen,
With our colors white and green,

Hurrah for the class of 1902.
Last, but not least, was the class motto, which must be
something to incite us to better work and fill us with a
desire to overcome all obstacles, and to reach a high standard of excellence. Realizing that even after graduation,
we shall only be starting on life's journey, we chose for our
motto, "Not Finished. Just Begun." We trust by keeping
this in constant view we may in time reach that point of
excellence where we will be not only an honor to ourselves
but a benefit to all those with whom we may associate, and
that when we reach life's close we may say Not Finished,
but just prepared to enter upon the new life Just Begun.

Freshmon Class History,
ALBERT KYSELKA.
MMEDIATELY after the spring vacation, the' eighth
grade pupils began to learn the songs and the individual
parts which were to be given at the eighth grade commencement exercises. After the promotion exercises we
had three long months in which to prepare for entering the
High School.
When school opened in September seventy five pupils
from the eighth grades of the city, together with about
twenty from the country districts, entered the ninth grade.
The new pupils had more or less difficulty the first few days
in finding the way through the halls, locating the class
rooms and getting accustomed to the new surroundings.
One of the difficult questions for the individuals of the
class to settle was the selection of a course of study. Of
the one hundred members about one-third chose the English
course, while the others were about equally distributed in
the Latin, Scientifid and Commercial courses.
The majority of the class have continued in school
through the year. Sickness has compelled some of the
members to drop out. Death has entered our ranks once
during the year taking from our midst Nellie Farrant, who
had won the friendship of all during her short stay in
school.
We have had no class organization thus far, but when
the Editors of the Annual asked for our cooperation we
gladly contributed a picture of our class.
Many interesting experiences have come to us during
I
�the year. It seemed very strange to us to hear the ringing
of the electric bell at the close of a class hour. The long
periods of forty five minutes for study and recitation, also
so many teachers in the course of the same day, were strange
experiences to u-: but in a month or so we became accustomed to our new surroundings and felt quite at home. As
the first year of our High School experience draws to a close
we begin to realize how little we know and how much there
is to learn.

HE TRAVERSENSIA N is a. presentation of our excellent
schools, their history and growth and all matters of interest
from a social, athletic, literary and educational standpoint. For
embellishment, wit and sarcasm predominate. This is in conformity with the fundamental ideas of the class of 'goo. And it is to
be hoped that the influence of such ideas is for the elevation of
our schools and not to their detriment.
That it contains errors and mistakes is no more than is to
be expected. We ask the public to remember that we have not had
any experience in this line of work, and beg them not to be too
harsh in their criticisms. We wish to make no apologies, for all
have done their best. To the many friends and co-workers, who
with great kindness have assisted, we express our genuine gratitude, and 'lope they have profited by the experience. Nothing in
these pages has been written against anyone intentionally, but
everything to arouse interest. No radical changes have been
made in any of the manuscripts, except a few insignificant corrections affecting the form but not the sense.
The spirit of good as well as revolution is contagious, and
that spirit of independence has impelled us toward a complete
emancipation, from the past, and it is hoped that such independence is appreciated by the students and people of this city, and
that encouragement will be given to the life of THE TRAVERSENSIAN for future years.
The Editors wish to thank all who assisted in any way in
making the Traversensian a success; especially those persons outside of the school who contributed articles ; the teachers who rendered valuable assistance in correcting manuscript ; the business
men who advertised so liberally, and the artists who furnished
drawings.

Pictures.
LETTIE E. MARVIN.
I T was a pleasant afternoon in June in the year 1925, and I
found myself enjoying the time in a famous art gallery of a
western city. Hour after hour passed rapidly by, and I was
beginning to think of going home, intending to return another
day, when my attention was drawn toward a book of sketches
that lay on a table near by. I thought I would stop and glance
at it, but on reading the title I was forced to stay, my interest
being too great to leave, for the book bore the title, "Traverse
City High School, 1896-19oo." Turning to a lady standing near
by I asked if she could tell me how this book of sketches came
to be there. "Oh, yes," she said, "those sketches were drawn by
the artist, Edna Murrel, shortly after her graduation from that
High school. Of course, after she became famous, some of her
early sketches were collected, and these High school scenes were
among the rest. The sketches are very interesting even to one
who knows nothing of the school, but if you ever attended school
there you can judge of the accuracy of the drawings."
The sketches were splendid and true to life as I remembered
school. Evidently the artist had tried to picture some of the incidents of her four years of High school life, and she had succeeded
admirably. The first scene was of the school-house; a large white
building in the center of a square, surrounded by tall, stately trees.
I could not but think of the tall, pleasant but solemn-faced man
whose word was law in that small realm. Yes, there was his
picture. As I gazed at it, instead of thinking, as I should, of the
success he had achieved and the help and inspiration his life had
been to so many, my mind travelled back to the many, many times
he had warned us, "there must be no more snow-balling on the
school grounds" ; or that "the rules in regard to the basement
must be enforced." But he left for other and broader fields of
labor and another ruled in his place. Not a stranger, tho', but
he who for years had been the Great High Priest of the High
�School, and whose law was as unchanging as that of the Medes
and Persians. There he was in a picture entitled, "The first day
in the High school."
How well I remembered my first day in the High school.
The bell finally tolled the hour of nine, and with fear and trembling, we "freshies" marched into chapel. There on the platform
sat a small, black-eyed man apparently wondering just how good
we were. First came singing and prayer ; then our new curiosity
rose to his feet, and repeated those words with which we became
so familiar in after years. "Girls come up single file on the right
side of the stairs." "There must he no whispering in the halls
between the first and last ringing of the bell." "No one must
speak or leave the room without permission." "The following
books are due in the library," or "The following persons please
•see the librarian in regard to books."
The next scene was of the library. Along one side were
shelves filled with books, and tables were scattered around the
room. All, many remembrances flashed through my mind. There
we used to gather for "good times," but they were stolen pleasures.
It seemed but a day since the small but dignified principal tiptoed up to the door and requested that certain persons leave the
room. It is needless to say they went. But to come back to the
picture. Several of the pupils were gathered around the tables
and sitting on the ledge. One of them was apparently in the act
of throwing a note, but was transfixed by the horrified look of
the principal, who stood in the doorway. How his presence
always impressed us with a feeling of "studiousness" when he
said, "All those not doing strictly library work, leave the room."
When the small, black-eyed principal assumed chief control
another had to be procured to fill the place he had vacated, and
at last the right man was found. He, too, was not a stranger,
but simply one promoted from the ranks. There were two pictures of him. Number one was as he appeared before becoming
principal—the first morning he came back to school after his marriage and the boys showered him with rice. Underneath the picture was written, "When a man marries his troubles begin." Num-
�ber two was of a later date, for underneath it was written the
words, "Prof. Ryder makes his maiden speech," and the date
"i9oo." It must have referred to the speech in which he requested the pupils of the High school that they meet him "half
way."
The next picture puzzled me. There was nothing written
underneath it, and what it was I could not imagine. It showed
a group of gay, young people surrounding some one who seemed
to be the center of attraction. Then it dawned upon me : it was
the popular teacher of history and literature, at one of her many
surprise parties.
The next picture was of a class'in penmanship. The teacher
had just put a copy on the board, and from personal recollections
of the class, I had no doubt she was saying, "Students, attention.
We will now take a few minutes' practice in ovals. 1-2-3-4-5-6The next scene was drawn by a master hand. It was a class
in Latin ; underneath was written, "Drawn shortly after the
monthly examination. The teacher had just said, 'Now, where's
your excuse, Jimmie? Examination is just over and some of you
have only passed 25%. Back in first Latin is where you belong.
You lack self-appreciation. I'm sure I can't see what ails this
class. I hate to scold all the time, but you must do better."
The next picture was of an Algebra class, presided over by
a pleasant-faced lady who, by her own example, taught us to be
thoughtful and accurate. I almost fancied I could hear her saying,
"Now there are some little children in this class who should study
articles 151 to 155." Long ago she won our respect, and I hope
we were worthy of hers.
Next came a characteristic picture of a young professor who
used to hold forth in number six. He instructed his pupils upon
the subjects of higher mathematics, and oftimes from across the
halls these words, in thundering accents, smote my ears : Please
rise, please, and expand out this equation."
On the next page was a picture of a Junior Geometry class,
underneath which was written, "Now, class, there are seventy
�more theorems and just thirty more days; that, taking five days
out for tests, makes three theorems a day, and no time for review,
and the class must finish them or I can't pass you. Is that clear?"
The next was a picture of a dapper little man who instructed
the pupils in the manufacture of "parlor matches." How many
were the times I had seen him rush into the high school room, his
head down, his necktie awry, his coat-tail flapping, and jab ferociously at the electric bell which had refused to call us, with its
familiar jingle, from the miseries of a dry recitation hour. Meanwhile the black-eyed professor stood in the back part of the room
with a look on his face that seemed to say, "Thou canst not say
I did it ; never shake thy locks at me."
Following this was a picture of a class in number five. The
teacher sat looking severely over her glasses at the class. Underneath the picture was written, "Admonition," and she surely must
have been saying, "On this examination, Quality not Quantity
will count."
Next was a picture of a timid-looking little lady, who came
late in the year to battle with the terrors of Ninth and Tenth
English. The poet must certainly have meant her when he said,
"Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low ; an excellent thing in
woman." Her kindly nature was shown in the fact that she
wished to take some of her salary and buy an old gray horse,
for which she felt sorry, a week's vacation. However, at times
she could rise to the occasion and expel bad boys from the room
with a severity one would hardly expect from so modest a person.
After partially reading a lesson she would say, "Each one will
please learn these lines for himself."
On the last page was a sketch of a sweet girl graduate, the
date May 3o, 19oo, and these words :
"Look not mournfully upon the past.
It is gone—it comes not back.
Employ the present, it is thine.
Go forth to meet the future with a
glad heart and without fear."

NE of the pleasing features of the Traverse City High
School is its library, well lighted and pleasant in all its
appointments.
In 1884 the nucleus of the present library consisted of less
than fifty volumes, now our shelves are filled with more than
twelve hundred volumes. Previous to 1893 books were added
as funds were appropriated by the Board of Education for that
purpose. At that time the High School Lecture Course was
established, and since then the profits derived from this source
have been used in the purchase of books. An average of seventyfive dollars a year has been expended in this way, and thus the
library has grown until it has reached its present proportions.
It is well supplied with books for research work along the
various lines of study taught in our schools. Foremost among
these are books on literature, history, science, language, both
ancient and modern, civics, pedagogics, biography and books of
general information. There is also a good supply of encyclopaedias and books of "ready reference." Our standard writers,
both English and American, are well represented, the entire
works of most of them being in the library.
Magazines, bound and unbound, are found on its shelves.
For the current year the Outlook, Forum, North American Review, Cosmopolitan, McClure, Success, IVeek's Current, and
Timely Topics are the periodicals taken by the students.

�The Old Laboratom
EDITH M. GIBBS,
'94.
O with me down a flight of stairs, closed in on either side by
a dark, foreboding wall. This passage-way opens into a
large, windowless room, but by groping closely to the sidewall ,which is so broken as to form a deep alcove, we come to a
locked door.
Have you a hair-pin, or a hutton-hook ? That is all that is
necessary, and we are now inside of a room known as the laboratory. It is very much like the dens of the ancient Egyptian
alchemists, with whom the science of using crucibles and alembics
of calcining, subliming and distilling originated.
Six small windows admit of a few slanting rays of sunlight.
It has, indeed, a dark, spectral appearance. Listen! A strange
sound comes from that dusty, dingy, ill-kept desk : "Many masters
have been stationed behind me to deal out the secrets of natural
philosophy. I have seen things of strange character occur. One
master once tried to fill this long iron pipe with water by using
this small beaker, but his continued efforts were fruitless. He
thought it possessed with an evil spirit, notwithstanding the student's feet were soaked with the water that issued from an aperture in the lower portion of the pipe. Another master of more
dignified type once came, but found no eager seekers after truth
awaiting him. He rushed frantically back to seek his students,
but nowhere were they to be found. Seized with alarm, thinking
they had been captured by spirits of the air, at last, disheartened,
he returned and found them seated calmly in their places."
That soup-plate has a strange tale to tell : "Once some fairylike maids used me that they might boil some syrup to the propel
constituency for taffy. They put me over a Bunsen flame, and
G
�I
just as I was on the point of being forced violently upward and
broken into a trillion pieces they surrounded me with a magic
circle and, with their sweet, zephyr breaths, extinguished the
mischief-making flame."
In that corner at your left is the ever revered cobra-like hood
—cobra-like because of the many hissing sounds issued therefrom. This table seems to have something important to say:
"One by one I have had different proprietors. Some have kept
me scrupulously clean, others have left me disgracefully untidy.
I was once the scene of what narrowly escaped being a terrible
tragedy. My mistress was very frightened over a slight explosion ; some of the poisonous chemicals got into her mouth and
pains were distinctly felt. Confusion, visions of hacks, doctors
and nurses were before me ; hut all danger was averted by an
antidote, and that same mistress lived to be implicated in the
instigation and perpetuation of a crime that nearly caused the
death of a noted professor. He came into the room and found
the skeleton of a human being dressed and placarded as an affectionate valentine.
"This drawer that I possess has been the receptacle of confections, pop-corn, nuts, fruit, and so forth."
I see you are deeply interested in that door yonder. We did
not enter there. That leads to the ventilating shaft. W. W.
Rascal* and G. B. Greatdaret once sent fumes of H2S from
here to a crowded lecture room above. I understand that they
were interviewed, but still live, which is one of the mysteries of
the nineteenth century, classed with the disappearance of Charles
Ross.
Now it is time to go. Farewell, thou dear old "Lab." Thy
name is from the French—a place to labor—and very appropriate is the significance. It has been made so by efficient and
earnest work of instructors, and appreciative application of the
many students that sought after truth within thy walls.

T
HE collection of apparatus and material for science work has
been growing steadily each year. This is the result of the
liberality of the Board of Education and the efforts of the
various science teachers and the superintendents. The collection
has been enlarged by construction of parts of apparatus by the
students and many contributions. The recent contributors are
Sara Chase, J. M. Loudon, and Walton Gray.
As the result of these forces, the school is in possession of
two well lighted and well equipped laboratories and material for
work in Botany, Geology and Physiology. The physical apparolus
is sufficient for demonstrational and individual work in mechanism, heat, electricity, sound and light. The apparatus for electricity is especially good, while the dark room enables one to study
and appreciate the phenomena of light.
The chemical laboratory is supplied with water, gas, 16 desks
for individual work and the ordinary accessories. The student
spends much time in this as well as in the physical laboratory
where he is brought face to face with conditions he must vary and
control. He must use his hands and be responsible for the touch.
This age is a scientific one and in order to keep apace with the
new developments, the needs of the laboratory must receive careful attention. Many pieces for exact physical work, a larger supply of chemicals, more cre of rooms and a special room for
botanical work are some of the needs. The Alumni can assist
much in enlarging our material by contributions and taking an
active interest in this department.

�A Surnposill111.
I N sending out the first annual from the Traverse City High
School, it was thought well by the editors to obtain the opinion
of former graduates in regard to such a publication. That all
the classes might be represented, a letter was sent to one member
of each. No answers were received from some, while answers
from others came too late to be published. But those that were
received were of much encouragement to the editors, and we trust
they voice the sentiment of the majority of the Alumni.
I received a card from you asking my opinion of the publication the High School is about to issue. It affords me great pleasure to say I am in hearty sympathy with the move, and I will endeavor at all times to give you such assistance as I can. Such a
work will be of great help to the students and interest them in
their work. I wish you success.
Very truly yours,
W. H. FOSTER, '85.
I feel sure that 1 am voicing the sentiments of the Class of
'86 when I assure you of my interest in the publication of "The
Traversensian." We are all proud of the high place accorded the
T. C. schools among the schools of the state, and the publication
of a class annual is but another instance of the enterprise and
energy of her students.
Success to the class of 'oo in their efforts !
MABEL BATES, '86.
In regard to your intending to get out an annual, I should
think it was a good idea, indeed. Many schools not half the size
of yours get out annuals, and it certainly is all right for you to do
so. I am sure yOu can get up a good one.
Wishing- you success with this work, 1 remain,
Yours truly,
T. A. CONLON, '87.
�Replying to your inquiry of the 24th inst., I wish to say that
I approve most heartily of the publication of the Annual as proposed by your class. It is a step that should have been taken
here long ago, and I promise you every encouragement within my
limited efforts to give.
Wishing you and your colleagues success, I remain,
Yours truly,
P. C. GILBERT, '89.
In reply to your request, I will say that I believe that )our
undertaking in publishing an annual is a very praiseworthy one,
as it means much perseverance and enterprise. If it prove a success, as I feel assured it will, it will be a pleasant feature to look
forward to each year at Commencement time.
Wishing you all success,
MINNIE B. WAIT, '93.
Any plan that has for its object the deepening of interest in
the Traverse City High School has, I assure you, the best wishes
of the class of '94.
That the present class is editing an annual is indicative of
the push and enterprise that does honor to the school.
Yours truly,
EDITH M. GIBBS, '94.
To the Class of Nineteen Hundred :
As a member of the class of ninety-five, I congratulate you
upon the energy and progressiveness displayed in the preparation
and publishing of an annual.
Sincerely your friend,
ROBY DEAN HOLDSWORTH, '95.
Life gives nothing to mortals without great labor. No more
fitting legacy than an annual could be chosen by a class as the
crowning effort of their four years' work. It should be a treasure
of thought and inspiration for every person who has any ambition for success. It cannot fail to be fruitful of high aims and
exalted character, and will undoubtedly stimulate many a youth
8
�to seek labor in the broader field of learning. In heartily indorsing the efforts of the class of 1900, I feel that I voice the sentiment of those interested in the advancement of education.
Yours very truly,
A. F. NERLINGER, '98.
In the name of the class of '99, greetings and congratulations. The fame of our younger brothers and sisters has spread
abroad in the land, and finally has come back to the ears of us
at home. No longer shall they be without honor in their own
country ; we recognize their talent and ability, and do most heartily congratulate them.
We know—we knew—if our Dear dignitaries undertook anything, it must he a success, and we are not disappointed.
Best wishes to the Naughty-Naughts.

FIRST SCHOOL BUILDING.
�From first School Teachers.
HILE the early days here have a fascinating interest for the
rising generation, and the log school-house seems to them a
nucleus from which evolved the present fine and commodious school-buildings, to me it is mere matter-of-fact. The days
came and went, long, pleasant, but often weary ones, because our
great variety of text-books—no two being alike—made proper
classification so difficult that time of teachers and pupils was
wasted daily. Fortunately for me, I could look back to the old
stone school-house in Vermont and recall that it was simply "study
of facts" that we wanted, and we must obtain those facts as well
as we could. I had been a pupil in many schools, favorably
located for educational advantages, thus learning by my own
experience the advantage of plain study which does not extort
from nerve force, over the "red-tape" and "entertaining" methods
then being introduced into many schools to increase their popularity. So we reconciled ourselves as best we could to our disadvantages.
The second summer of my teaching was becoming interesting
to me, because the scholars were older and more numerous, when
sickness interfered and the school had to be closed.
The woods were too dense and unknown for us to venture
into,` so the children's play-ground was between the school-house
and the river. We seldom saw a passer-by. Once I heard yells
and hurried hoof-beats. A company of Indians, returning from
a hunt, appeared with their ponies loaded with accoutrements,
swam the river near the present G. R. & I. R. R. bridge, and galloped at full speed up Squaw Point till out of sight.
( MRS.) HELEN R. HITCHCOCK.

�While visiting my brother, Perry Hannah, in the spring of
1861, I taught school in the school-house where Park Place Annex now stands. The seats were placed upon either side of the
room, two rows on a side. No walks had yet been laid, and we
walked to school through sand ankle deep, often stopping where
the Mercantile Company's block now stands, to pick blue-berries
or a spray of pretty wild roses.
I made Julius Hannah his first pair of pants that spring. He
was a wee bit of a laddie then, but I am sure he has never felt as
large since as he did the first day when, armed with his primer
and clinging tight to my hand, he stepped inside the school-room.
Little Johnny Rennie (now big Chief of Police Jack) was there,
with the cleanest of aprons and faces ; his hair combed in a big
curl on the top of his head.
One day three of my dear boys went out never to return to
the old school-room until they came in their coffins. Johnny and
Tommy Green and Sedgewick Stevens—son of Gen. Stevens of
Washington—thought to take a swim in the Boardman about opposite the present "Cottage Home," and the treacherous undercurrent of the stream held them down until life was extinct.
My school closed shortly after that, and I went away to
occupy a new home of my own. Many years have passed since
then, but the joys and sorrows of those few months have never
been forgotten.
( MRS.) BELLE HANNAH AYERS.
The summer of 1862 will be remembered as one of the most
exciting periods of the civil war, and Traverse City, though so
far removed from the varying scenes of its activity, now and then
felt the depression, and heard the echoes of, the bitter strife. The
depression would come when some of the young men sailed out
of the bay to join the defenders of the Union; while the echoes
of the conflict were heard at rather uncertain intervals, when the
old propeller Alleghany arrived at the (lock, or the weekly mail
was distributed to the eager seekers of news.
At this date in the history of Traverse City, I taught school
�in the small one-story school-building, one of the most pretentious structure the little hamlet possesged. The room was,
small, but the play-ground surrounding it was not circumscribed,
it being simply "all of out-doors," and certainly a healthy one, for
it was dry white sand to the right and to the left, at the front and
in the rear, broken only by an occasional huckleberry bush or by
a spear of sorrel, here and there, with the one exception of a
small sapling, which is now the large oak tree standing in front
of Mrs. S. C. Moffat's residence. Good as my boys were, I discovered them robbing birds' eggs from the little tree, it being
so slender they could bend it almost to the ground. I wanted to
impress upon my pupils the crime of breaking up birds' nests, and
told them I would punish any one who did it. Not long after
that, Arnold Adsit held up his hand, asking permission to speak,
saying: "Anna Green broke birds' eggs." Now, the announcement was startling, for Anna (now Mrs. Bert Hoxie) was one of
my brightest and best pupils. Anna was asked to make her defense, and amidst tears and sobs she managed to say : "Arnold
Adsit put the eggs in my hand and said, `Squeeth 'em tight,
Anna ?' And I squeethed 'em tight, and they broke, they did.:'
The school-room was a cheerful one, and, though small, easily accommodated all the pupils of Traverse City and the sparsely
settled outskirts. I always recall that summer as one of the most
satisfactory periods of my school-teaching life. After an experience of ten years, this was my last term in that line of work, and
the consciousness of having accomplished much for my pupils
was a source of great gratification. Almost without exception
the material I had to work upon was excellent, and, with the
younger ones especially, the advancement was rapid. They were
interested in their work, and I remember one mother saying to
me :"My boy comes home spelling, goes to bed spelling, and gets
up spelling." That boy has been for years a prominent business
man in Traverse City.
There was one temptation which then, as now, it was
very bard for Traverse City boys to withstand. The waters of
"the bay" and "the Boardman" were wondrously attractive on a
�summer's day, and more than once when a youngster, coming to
the session late, was questioned as to the cause, the truth was
badly mutilated, as I well knew, by the dripping locks and the
sandy feet, and while I had sympathy for the boy (1 would like
to have gone in swimming myself) I had also a sympathy for and
a duty toward the parents, who were in a chronic state of alarm
lest their children would find a watery grave, and a duty toward
the public as well, for a boy or two more or less made a very perceptible difference in the census returns at that date.
The school house did duty as church and public hall, and
occasionally collisions would arise, which usually resulted in the
school having to vacate. I recall an experience in this line. An
"appointment" had been "given out" at a Sunday service, stating
that a meeting of ministers of the whole region would be held
on a certain week-day afternoon at the school-house. I sought
an interview with the director, and, in answer to my question, he
replied with great emphasis, "You are not'to dismiss the school."
That settled it. When the afternoon came, I told the pupils that
in case any visitors should honor us with their presence, I hoped
they would not be disturbed, but move right along precisely as
though we were in the habit of entertaining callers every day, attending strictly to business. At about two or half-past, a revererend gentleman from Northport arrived. There was an evident
look of surprise on his face as he noted the situation. I received
him cordially and proceeded to make him one of us by handing
him, from time to time, a book, that he might note what the class
on the recitation form was doing. As one by one the "brethren"
came, they were treated in like manner. If the pupils had understood the situation they could not have done better. Their lessons were perfect, and their studiousness and attention to business
so impressive that one might almost have heard the proverbial
pin drop. All the uneasiness evident was on the part of the "visitors." Promptly at four o'clock the session closed, after a few
remarks by the resident clergyman, which, at my request, he could
hardly refuse to make. Just what "remarks" they made or felt
like making, after, at last, having the room to themselves, could
�only be imagined, but we had gotten in our half day of good work
'while the ministers looked on.
(MRS.) ESTHER SPRAGUE HATCH.
The schools of Traverse City are very dear to me. I look
hack across the years, almost forty of them now, to the early
spring days of 1863, and see the one small school-house, its walls
still fragrant with the scent of freshly-cut pine, standing knee
deep in a tangle of brakes and bushes, the sweet pink and white
arbutus growing close under its windows and an unbroken outlook from its doors across a stretch of yellow beach sand to the
great blue bay, with its borders of hills on either side, forest-lined
to the water's edge, clear to the horizon's line, miles and miles
away.
Within, the village schoolma'am reigned supreme as superintendent, principal, and full corps of teachers, from kindergarten
to high school, with none to molest or make afraid. The brighteyed boys and girls of those far away days are many of them
gray-haired men and women now. And their children have finished and are finishing their school days, as the old century ends
and the new one begins. In all these years a loving interest has
followed the evolution of our schools every step of the way, with
pride in their achievement and their promise, and to-day as many
times before. I say most earnestly, "God bless the schools of
Traverse City."

The Senior Lyceum was organized at the beginning of the
school year of 1893. It was first known as the High School
Lyceum, but when the organization of the Junior Lyceum took
place, in 1897, it became necessary to change the name in order
to distinguish the two societies. It has since been known as the
Senior Lyceum.
This society consists of the members of the eleventh and
twelfth grades. The enrollment for the present year was about
seventy-five members. The officers, consisting of President, VicePresident, and Secretary, are elected by the society semi-annually.
The meetings are held in the High school assembly room on
Friday evening of every two weeks. Each member has the privilege of inviting one person ; this restriction being necessary that
the room be not over-crowded.
The general supervision of the society is under the Faculty
of the High School. Each teacher in turn has charge of a program, after the rendering of which he gives a criticism, pointing
out the merits and demerits of the parts given.
The programs are made up of musical selections, essays, reproductions, original stories, developments, orations and discussions on topics of the day. During the second semester's work of
'93-'94, impromptus were introduced ; these are usually well treated and are a source of much pleasure to all—the speaker excepted.

The Junior Lyceum was organized at the beginning of the
school year of 1897. The work of the Senior Lyceum had
always been hampered by the inexperience of its members in public speaking. As the older society included only the Seniors and
Juniors, there was no opportunity for practice in this line until
the third year of the High school course. To fulfill this long-felt
want, a society known as the Junior Lyceum was organized from
the members of the tenth grade.
Each member of the society is expected to deliver two parts
a year, the nature of which is determined by the Committee on
Programs. The proceedings show all the order and dignity of
parliamentary usage, and the literary work is of the highest order
indeed.
The work of the Lyceum is of the utmost importance to the
students, for, besides fostering his ability along literary lines, it
enables him to stand before an audience, of however great size,
without experiencing what is commonly called stage-fright.
�" I am the representatIve of a considerable number of people.'

Joint Debate.
O
NE of the most interesting and important features of the
work of the Senior Lyceum during the past year as the
was the debate between the Franklin Club of Manistee
and the Senior Lyceum, held in Traverse City, Dec. 15, '99.
One evening while the Lyceum was holding one of its regular meetings ,a representative of the Franklin Club challenged it
for a joint debate, which was readily accepted. A committee of
three was appointed to make proper arrangements for the contest ; later a preliminary debate was held for the purpose of choosing the debaters. This resulted in the selection of Moses Gilbert,
Chas. Novak and Chas. Salsbery. The question for discussion
was : Resolved, That the policy of the United States in the Philippines is justifiable. The Franklin Club took the affirmative.
Wilson Hubbel, president of the Lyceum, presided and addressed the audience, stating the nature of the debate, the conditions governing it, and introducing the judges and debaters.
Ile debate was opened by Manistee. They argued that the policy was justifiable because it was constitutional and the Islands
were legally acquired ; that education, religion, commerce and
all the things that tend to make the world better, would be introduced into the Islands by the United States ; and that the American people favored the policy. Much of their argument was
based upon the report of the Philippine Commission. The
Lyceum on the other hand maintained that every nation is justified for fighting for its independence; that the case of the Philippines was parallel to that of the American colonies in 1776;
that education, religion and commerce could be introduced into
the Islands without holding possession of them, as in the case of
Japan ; that it is not safe for a republic to enter upon a colonial
�policy and carry on wars of conquest, that the possession of the
Philippines meant the entanglement of the United States in
European politics, which would tend to make her a great military
power and thus destroy the liberties of the American people ; and
that the Philippine Commission being appointed by the President
would surely approve of his policy. In addition, many minor
points were brought forth by both sides.
According to the decision of the judges, which was based on
argument only, the debate as a whole was given to Manistee by
a close mark of 21 to 19 points. Chas. Novak was awarded first
honor among the individual debaters, and Ray L. Swift second,
the decision being based upon composition, argument and delivery.
Although the Lyceum apparently lost the debate, yet, taking
all things into consideration, it could hardly be called a defeat.
The representatives had become thoroughly familiar with both
sides of the question, having spent weeks in careful preparation,
and were as a result prepared to meet the arguments used by
their opponents. In short, they proved to the Manistee debaters
that they were "foemen worthy of their steel.

�High School Lecture and Music
Course.
HE High School Lecture and Music Course has become.
an established feature of the school year. Each season a
large number of our citizens look forward to the numbers of
the course with anticipations of pleasure and profit.
The history of the course is brief. The first attempt to
maintain a course under the auspices of the High School was
made only seven years ago. The first course was the result of
the efforts of Supt. C. T. Grawn and Prin. C. R. Horn. The
remarkable increase in attendance from three hundred fifty season tickets to eight hundred fifty is evidence of the high consideration with which the course has been held from year to year.
It also has enabled the management to double the number of lectures and entertainments, and, at the same time, to bring the
course within the reach of a larger number of our citizens by
reducing the price of the tickets to a very low figure.
Space does not permit an enumeration of all the able lectures.
and accomplished musicians and entertainers who have been
brought to our city through the instrumentality of these course:,.
but only to make reference to the strongest and the most pleasing
ones, among whom are the following lecturers : Dr. A. A. Willets, Dr. Dixon, Dr. Copeland, J. J. Lewis and Mr. Wendling,
and entertainers, Ladies' Military Band, Ariel Quartette, Sym.
phony Orchestra and Miss Benfey.
The supreme purpose in conducting the course has been to
make it an educational factor in the community by supplement;ng the existing educational influences of the city. The work of
the public schools has thus been very strongly reinforced. Our
T
�young people have been enabled to hear elevating and instructive
lectures by strong thinkers of today. Their minds have been
directed to the greater things of life. Their eyes have been
opened to the larger sphere of human activities, and to the deeper
significance of education. Many a seed thought has been sown
whose germination and fruition shall appear in the years yet to
come. To the more mature, the courses have been profitable in
many ways. We have been entertained, but above all our thought
has been stimulated, our minds have been aroused. We, as a
community, have become more and more appreciative of the best
which modern thought and culture can bring to us.
Each year the course, in addition to paying the expenses,
has brought a small profit. This profit has been expended upon
the High School laboratories and library. For the latter about
seventy-five dollars a year have been expended. This has increased the size of the library from about four hundred volumes
to twelve hundred, and has enabled the library facilities to keep
pace with the rapid growth of the High School attendance.
We append the numbers of the course for the season 189919oo :
Lecture, "The Battle Cry of Freedom"—Rev. Thomas
Dixon, Jr.
Entertainment, "Les Miserables," Hugo—Miss Ida Benfey.
Lecture, "The Coming Man"—Mr. G. A. Gearhart.
Entertainment, "A Man About Town"—Mr. Hoyt L. Conary.
Concert, The Bostonian Ladies' Symphony Orchestra.
Lecture, "A Wonderful Structure"—Prof. Thomas Dinsmore, Jr.
Concert, The Ariel Ladies' Quartette.

�Athletics.
A
THLETICS in our High School have not reached a high
standard, clue, perhaps, to several reasons. They have not
been encouraged very much, and the relation between the
'Egli School Athletic Association and the base ball and foot ball
teams is not definite enough. Athletics are not organized as they
should be. The foot ball players organize in the fall and the base
ball players in the spring, and each organization works for the
interests of its own team alone. Of course they want the High
School to win; but under the circumstances the High School as
such will not make athletics a success until they are thoroughly
organized and conducted under one head. A good plan would
be to effect an organization more permanent, with duties more
clearly defined, and ask the Faculty to take an active part in the
directorship. Sometimes students, becoming enthusiastic, neglect
their work, but under wise direction all this could be remedied.
Certain marks could be required, below which should a student
fall through neglecting his work he could be cautioned and then
removed from a team.
Track athletics have never been attempted, though the High
School has good material, as is shown by what students have
done when they have gone from the High School to higher institutions. High School records should he established equal to those
of other high schools.
Three or four years ago the High School was interested in
a field day, in which the H. S. and Dockery's Business College
"smashed" the Grand Rapids High School records, but a report
of it was not available for the annual. With this exception the
High School has never been interested in a field day. It was
talked of this spring, but nothing was accomplished. Perhaps
another year the High School can have a field clay and invite a
neighboring High School to compete with them.
The students appreciate the help given by Superintendent
Horn along the line of physical culture during the past year.
They hope that in the near future our High School may be provided with a gymnasium, where physical can be developed along
with the mental and moral. The plea for a gymnasium is timely.
�Plea for a Gymnasium.
HE need of physical development is one that is apt to be
overlooked in an institution whose prime aim is the development of the intellect. 1he fact that too many graduates of our
educational institutions are turning out hollow-crested, pale-faced,
round-shouldered young men and, women is perhaps natural
enough, but it is a fact none the less to be deplored. 1 he gradbest pJssible
uate of a high school or college should represent
development, not alone of the mental, but of the physical and
moral natures as well.
Of the agencies in schools that tend to physical development,
few are entirely free from objectionable features. Some are, from
their very nature, Confined to one sex. Others must of necessity
be confined to a very .few individuals. Base ball can hardly furnish physical development for all the young men, and is of no
physical profit to the young ladies, as they are debarred from the
game. "1 he same thing applies to foot ball, with this additional
objection, that it is too hard on the bones and muscles for many
of the boys in the school who need physical development the
most.
Of all the forms•of physical training that are open to a high
school, there is but one that is absolutely without objectionable
features. This is the training to be obtained in a well equipped
gymnasium.
It may be of interest to note that an appropriation was once
made by the school board,_ looking toward the arrangement of a
gymnasium for the use of the pupils of the school. The plari was
to prepare for use the room in the Central School building above
the second floor. The appropriation was not a large one, being
only $ioo, but it would have served as a nucleus for larger
things. It must always be a 'matter of regret that this appropriation, on account of the fact that the expenditures for that year
went higher than was anticipated by the school board, was used
for another purpose, and no start for a gymnasium was made at
that time.
It is certainly evident to all that the school now needs a
gymnasium. Nothing elaborate need be done at first. The pupils
of the school would be more than willing to put in such apparatus as is actually needed at first, and the benefit that would
accrue to the young- men and women of the school would he
almost incalculable.
T
�It remains for the school board to see and appreciate this
need, and make some appropriation to fit the room for use. This
is all that would need to be done at first. Other things could be
added as opportunity offered. But the matter should certainly
not be delayed another year. The physical needs of the pupils
,of the schools along this line should no longer be disregarded.
LEVI r. PENNINGTON, '96.
Organization of the High School Athletic Associatioil
THE FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM.
R IN. HORN having announced in Chapel, through request,
that there would be a meeting for those interested in foot
ball, No. 5 was given up for a session, which was called to
order by Steven Lardie about 3 :45 p. m. Sept. 3o, '96. The
meeting resulted in the organization of the High School Athletic
Association, with the following officers :
President—Walton L. Grey.
Vice-President—Wm. A. Leighton.
Secretary and Treasurer—Robert Walter.
A committee of five, including the president, were appointed
to select players for a foot ball team. They were Steve Lardie,
Herbert Johnston, Verlin Thomas and Ike Pennington. It was
agreed that the team, when selected, should choose their own captain by ballot.
A manager was then talked of, and it was suggested that
Prof. Beeman would make a good one. Prof. Beeman was then
called for and invited to be in attendance. His appearance was
applauded, and he stated that he "wanted to see a good team"
and "would help what he could." It was then carried that if Prof.
Beeman would accept the position he should be manager. This
he did in a few remarks in the interest of the association. Through
him a dressing room was secured in the basement, the business
men were approached regarding suits, and the team gotten under
way.
Later a committee was appointed to order suits, and a dozen
were bought, sleeveless jackets having been decided upon. Sweaters were secured, a foot ball purchased, and the team was ready
for practice, having in the meantime chosen Walter Grey captain.
Some idea of how much the boys knew of the game can he
gathered from the fact that when McKenzie, U. of M., came tip
by request to tell them about the game, he found it best to begin
1)
�with what the gridiron is, how laid out, etc., then on the board
to show the position of the teams and players, with names, and
the objects of the game. He then outlined a few plays, and the
boys went to work with a will.
Ike Fless, an instructor at the Business College, was hired
as coacher, and did much to get the boys in shape.
On Oct. 13 a meeting was called, and Manager Beeman read
an offer from Cadillac High School to play them on their home
grounds Oct. 24. It was accepted.
Black and gold were chosen as High School colors, and at
noon of that date the boys left on the G. R. & I. for Cadillac,
accompanied by Manager Beeman and Prin. Horn. Speeches
were given from the car steps by various members of the aggregation. There was singing, and the boys had a good time generally on the way down.
Cadillac was reached soon after noon. It is needless to say
that the boys were a little nervous, it being their first game. The
opposing team was sized up with a good deal if interest. The
boys were determined to play hard.
The team lined up about two o'clock.
The second pass Lardie went around the end for a touchdown ; but failed to "heel" when he came out across the goal line
with the ball and it was lost. This may be said to be a history of
the game right through. The boys played good ball, especially
for the first game, but they were not up on technical points. Principal Horn in speaking of the game before the High School the
following Monday morning said that it made him think of the two
fellows who went fishing—one wasn't very good at figuring but
he could catch fish. When they came to "figure up," however,
the Other fellow figured that most of the fish were his. The team
was not discouraged though defeated. The score was 8 to 12.
Upon their return home they practised hard and after Cadillac had defeated Manistee, Reed City and Ferris Industrial, and
claimed the High School championship of northern Michigan, our
team defeated them at 12th St. Park, 16 to io, and Cadillac forfeited her claim to the championship.
The '96 team made a fine showing for being the first High
School team, and having to learn the game from its rudiments.
Johnston and Lardie played faSthalves, and everybody looked
for alternate gains from them. With Nerlinger at center, Pennington, Leighton, Gane and Gray made a strong line. Erb at
full played a good game, and Garner developed into a fine end.
Thomas at quarter did not have a fumble to his credit during the
season.

The '97 Football Team.
FIR01-1ABLY '97 had the best material for a team that it has
V ever been the High School's good fortune to possess. Unfortunately the first game, played with Cadillac, came early in
the season before the team was in shape, and the High School lost.
This seemed to discourage the team and they failed to show the
interest manifested at first, and did not report regularly for practice. Individual playing could not make up for team work, and
though the two succeeding games, played with Manistee High
School, were close, we suffered two more defeats. The defeat
administered by Cadillac was not taken so seriously when a little
later that High School defeated the Grand Rapids City Team.
The score of the game played with Manistee on our home grounds
was 6 to 4, and the return game resulted in their favor, the score
being I() to 6.
The last game of the season was played at 12th St. Park on
�Thanksgiving Day with a city team, and resulted in favor of the
High School. Score, 6 to 4.
The line-up of the team was : Oscar Thomas, George Raff,
Right End ; Will Leighton, Charles Walsh, Righ Tackle ; Ike Pennington, Right Guard ; Amo Nerlinger, Center ; Laura Buck, Left
Guard ; Walton Gray, Left Tackle ; Charley Garner, Left End ;
Walter Trumball, Left Half ; Stephen Lardie, Righ Half ; Herbert Johnston, Full Back ; Verlin Thomas, Quarter Back.
Gray was captain at the opening of the season but resigned
later and Trumball was chosen captain.
The '97 Second Football -ream.
HE only redeeming feature of the season of '97 was the work
of the second team. They administered a defeat to Kalkaska
in a closely contested game, the score being 4 to o. The game was
played at Kalkaska, Supt. Luther playing full-back on the Kalkaska team.
Following is the write-up by a couple of those who went,
which appeared in the Daily Eagle at that time :
There were only a few streaks of gray light in the eastern sky
Saturday morning when the boys of the second team began to
gather for the trip to Kalkaska. Their hearts beat fast, for sunset
would find them either vanquished or victors. About an hour
after they had gathered Cadham and the veteran Lardie were seen
approaching rapidly from the western horizon. The latter's well
eye looked rather sleepy. (There were others also who seemed
to have but recently recovered from dreamland.)
The morning stillness was broken by the yell—
"Beans, Pork, Oyster Stew,
Wire, Briar, Rubber, Glue,
Traverse High School No. 2,"
as they pulled out about 6:30.
Their ride though long was not wearisome. There were
beautiful stretches of farm land and the autumn foliage gave a
delightful tinge to the.landscapes. The village was eagerly looked
for. There were several false alarms but finally the court house
and High School building were seen and just before noon the party
arrived at the village. The boys, twenty-four in number, discussed a fine meal at the Manning House, with all the vim of foot-
�ball ardor. Stewed chicken, or "Chewed sticken," as Capt. Northrup called for, was in demand and some feared that the pioneer
rooster who had sacrificed his existence for the satisfaction of
craving appetites would not fulfull his purpose. Cadham did not
take his usual football diet of "cold stewed potatoes" as at Cadillac
last year ; but all knew that Morgan was in his usual form when
he called for bean soup.
Dinner over the boys donned their uniforms and after some
preliminary practice, the game was called at 2:3o with a line-up
as follows

Traverse City High School won the toss and took south goal.
Kalkaska kicked off and the ball was downed on the 25-yard line.
Traverse by quick end playing and good line work advanced the
ball within 10 yards of their opponents' goal when Kalkaska made
a plucky stand and the ball went to them on downs. By snappy
end playing they gained the center of the field when time was
called. In the first 25 minute half neither side had scored.
After a Io-minute intermission time was again called. Traverse kicked off and the ball was downed on the 30-yard line. Kalkaska tried to work the line but the Second Team stood firm and
the ball went to them on-downs. Traverse slowly forced the Kalkaska line hack for a touchdown by Gane. Owing to the position
of the ball he was unable to kick goal. Score, 4 to o in favor of
Traverse High School.
Kalkaska kicked off and Johnston made a big gain assisted by
a strong interference. The teams struggled for supremacy in the
center of the field. The ball changed sides several times on downs,
'Traverse being on Kalkaska's side of the gridiron when time was
called. The game was won. Score, 4 to o.
The teams were evenly matched and the game was closely
contested. Traverse High School had a slight advantage in
weight. Lardie and Arnold alternated as referee and umpire.
�In the evening a reception was tendered the players and visitors. The boys had noticed some of the young ladies wearing
black and gold during the afternoon. There were colors in profusion at the game, and more than one snap shot made by the everpresent kodak fiend. The Traverse boys seemed more than ever
in demand and some were afraid that a few of their members
would be retained indefinitely after the reception was over. Mrs.
Luther favored the company with a vocal solo and Supt. Luther
responded to the encore with words of welcome. Mr. Net-linger
in a few well chosen words, expressed the thanks of our boys and
the wish that a return game might be played and our boys entertain as well. Conversation and games caused the time to pass
rapidly and after light refreshments had been served our boys left
for their homes feeling that they had had a very pleasant time and
that Kalkaska High School girls and their teachers were delightful entertainers.
.At the time appointed to leave for home, it seemed for a time
that the suspicions in regard to the retention of some of our members were going to be confirmed. Northrup was the last one to
arrive. His absent mindedness and frequent exclamations seemed
to indicate a depth of impression not to be easily erased. In his
short naps on the way home a fairy form seemed to float ever
before his vision. There were others who enjoyed the same
delightful hallucination. Our boys reached Traverse City in the
wee small hours of the morning, hungry and sleepy ; but with
increased enthusiasm for the game as played between educitional
institutions.
The yell for a while will be—"What did we do to them ?
Who won ? Traverse City four—Kalkaska none.A. N. and R. W.
The following Saturday, October i6, 1897, Kalkaska was to
play a return game. The girls of the High School invited the Kalkaska girls to accompany the team and arranged to give the visiting team and friends a reception in the High School Assembly
room, which the Board of Education kindly placed at their disposal. The day was rainy and the Kalkaska team did not come.
The students and faculty met in the assembly room in the evening,
however. The evening passed quickly away with singing and
conversation. and will long be remembered for all had such an
enjoyable time with the teachers. They were young again. Prof.
Grawn entertained with sleight of hand and Prin. Horn helped to
keep the air full of notes from whole notes to sixteenth and thirtysecond notes, leading the students in singing old college songs.
Refreshments were served.
No other date was arranged with Kalkaska.

T
H E baseball team of 1898 was organized early in the spring,
with Ed. Thirlbv as manager and Frank Novotny as captain.
The candidates for the team were then given a good deal of
practice and several practice games were played to ascertain their
individual ability and to enable the manager to select a team. The
following players were chosen to represent the High School:
Steve Lardie, Alfred Avers. Cpsal Hobbs, Will Leighton, Bert
Montague, Torn Wilhelm, Chas. Walsh, Ed. Thirlbv, Frank
\ovotny and Joe Ehrenberger.
The first regular game of the season was played with the
strong Manistee High School team, at the t2th St. Park, on May
1st. Owing to the absence of part of the team substitutes had to
he put in. Walter Trumbull started to pitch for the T. C. High
School, but he was wild and Thirlby was substituted in the fourth
inning, after nine runs had been scored 1w Manistee. He held the
hard-hitting lanistee aggregation down to three runs for the rest
of the game. Although defeated by a score of 12 to 7, the X. C.
team showed ability and a good knowledge of the game. The following gives the make-up of the team : Lardie, catcher ; Trumbull, pitcher and right field ; Novotny, first base ; Wilhelm. second
base ; Thirlby, pitcher and left field ; Montague, right field and
leftfield ; W. Thirlhy, center field ; Ehrenberger, third base ; Hobbs,
short stop.
Owing to financial difficulties, no more regular games were
played on the home grounds. The only other game of the season
was played at Manistee. It was the day of the Odd Fellows' big
celebration and the game was played before a large crowd.
The Traverse City team played a good game in the field, Lardie doing exceptionally well behind the hat, but they were defeated,
to to 2, owing to their inability to do business with the delivery of
the Manistee pitcher. The Traverse City team lined up as follows : Novotny. first base Hobbs, second base : Ehrenberger,
third base : Wilhelm, short stop ; Ayers, left field ; Leighton, center
field : Walsh. right field ; Montague, right field ; Lardie, catcher ;
Thirlby, pitcher. The honor of securing Traverse City's two runs
belonged to Hobbs and Thirlbv.

The '95 Football Team.
T
HE team of '98 began the season quite early. The first two
games were played at the Cadillac Street Fair. A city team
made up partially of college players was played instead of a
High School team as was expected. The High School had to go
down before superior weight and lost two games.
Elmer Brown acted as manager and Will Gane as captain.
The team line-up was—Charley Corbett, Will Snushall, ends ;
Ralph Anderson, Walt Murray, tackles; Clarence Slater, Archie
Novotny, guards ; Cal Langworthy, center ; George Raff, Ralph
Thacker, half backs ; Jesse Johnston. quarter back ; Will Gane, full
back.
Later in the season games were played resulting as follows:
Kalkaska High School, 5 ; Traverse City High School, 18.
On home grounds.
Kalkaska High School, 6; Traverse City High School, io.
At Kalkaska.
Manistee High School, 16; Traverse City High School, o.
At Manistee.
Mancelona High School, o; Traverse City High School, 12.
On home grounds.
�Petoskey High School, o ; Traverse City High School, i 1.
On home grounds.
Toward the latter part of the season there were some new
players on the team, among them being Rob. Davis, Tiny Rokus,
and Charley Walsh. The team put up snappy ball all of the year
and won the majority of games played.
The '9 rootball Team.
ASEBALL was interesting the boys this last fall so that the
team was not organized very early. The city team took a good
deal of the interest as some of the older players in the High
School were practising with them. Many of the team were new
men ; but through diligent practise, assisted by Rob. Davis, '97,
who was kind enough to spend considerable time coaching them,
they were soon in fair shape. A date was secured with Kalkaska
High School, November 18, on their home grounds. The boys
drove over, starting early Saturday morning.
a
THE KALKASKA GAM E.
The game was very close and exciting and neither team had
it won until the last minute of play was ended. Kalkaska's team
showed unexpected strength, and put up snappy ball throughout
the game, though they were beginning to weaken near the end of
the latter half. The High School team showed a little weakness
in interference. ( Something which was remedied with good
results, as succeeding games showed.)
At 2 o'clock the game was called by Referee Arnold of Kalkaska, with Will Rennie acting as umpire. The teams lined up
as follows:
KALKASKA H. S.
B. Wright

�Raff kicked off for the High School, and the ball was secured
by Snushall near the center of the field. The ball was advanced
rapidly for a time, when Ridgely tackled Leighton for a loss, and
the ball went to Kalkaska on clowns. Ridgely made a long gain
around left end, and was pulled down by Langworthy. A little
later the ball was lost on downs.
Snushall made two short gains for the High School but the
ball was lost on downs. A foul tackle was claimed, and should
evidently have been allowed, Ridgely tackling Snushall high.
Ridgely made another long gain around left end and was
again stopped by Langworthy. Kalkaska then lost the ball on
downs.
Little gain was made by the High School till Kalkaska made
a gain of a yard and then fumbled. Snushall was on the ball in
an instant, and the first half closed with the ball in the High
School's possession near the center of the field, and no score made
by either team.
Kalkaska kicked off in the. second half and stopped the run
on the High School's t5-yard line. Snushall had no interference
and was tackled for a big loss, and the ball went over to be lost
immediately by Kalkaska on a fumble.
Then began a series of fine line smashing by Snushall. Seven
times in succession he struck the line, making a gain each time.
Then Leighton was sent against the line twice for gains, when the
ball was lost on a fumble.
By a very clever double pass (it worked for one anyway)
from Lewis to Halcro, the ball was sent over the line for a touchdown, and Kalkaska went wild. The ball was brought out and
Lewis kicked a goal in fine style, making the score 6 to o in favor
of Kalkaska.
Raff kicked off and Ridgely got the ball, but was stopped.
On the next play the ball was lost on a fumble, and Raff got it.
Snushall did some more fine line bucking, but the ball went over
at last on downs, while very near to Kalkaska's goal, so near, in
fact, that it looked as if this would be a touchdown.
With 30 seconds to play, Kalkaska made a double pass, and
Halcro again went around the end and started for our goal. But
Maynard, who had been distinguishing himself all the game by his
line work, caught the fleet-footed little Kalkaska full back, and
the play stopped with the ball in Kalkaska's hands, and that High
School a winner, 6 to . o. .
Our new men had been tried, however, and the weakness in
the team showed up. Steps were immediately taken to remdy this
with what rsults the two succeeding games show.
�The Return Game with Kalkaska High School—
Score, 22 to 0.
THEIR TEAM THOROUGHLY DEFEATED. THE BLACK AND GOLD MORE
THAN EVER.
WEEK later, Kalkaska played us a return game at 12th St.
Park. Our boys worked hard to remedy defects showed up
by the first game and lined up to wipe out the former defeat.
This they did with scores to spare. Kalkaska High School had
possession of the ball but four times, and not at any time did they
make the required five yard gain. At one time on the last down
they had lost to yards instead of gaining five. They got the ball
on downs but once.
'The visitors arrived on the I :3o G. R. & I. All was ready
for the game at 3 o'clock and it was called without delay. Dean
Lewis, Kalkaska's plucky little captain, and R. Halcro for the visitors played great football. They were in the game at every play.
Other members of the team put up good ball but their case was
hopeless and they went down before the Black and Gold without
a score to their credit.
Our line resisted all the attacks of Kalkaska with apparent
ease. Every man on the team played good ball. Morgan at center opened up some large gaps for the backs to go through, and
Raff at quarter put up his usual game. But Will Snushall, Tom
Wilhelm, and Jack Slater especially distinguished themselves, each
of them putting up fast, steady football. The team worked
together and won the game. No player can play successfully
without support—probably the one thing hardest for our High
School teams to learn.
In the first half, T. C. H. S. kicked the ball off and it was
downed on the visitors' 15-yard line. Three attempts resulted in
a loss for Kalkaska and our High School took the ball.
Five center plays in which Wilhelm and Snushall carried the
ball alternately, resulted in a touchdown by Wilhelm, who kicped
goal nicely, and the score was 6 to o.
The visitors made a beautiful kick off, Wilhelm got the ball
and was downed on our 16-yard line. Snushall made a pretty end
run, but was stopped in fine style by Lewis. A double pass from
Wilhelm to Snushall resulted in a long gain, and Wilhelm made
another like it around right end. Some center plays resulted in
gains for us, and then Snushall went around left end for a long
gain, Raff playing fine interference. The ball was within a few
feet of the goal, and with the next play Snushall carried it over
the line for a touchdown, and Wilhelm kicked goal, making tilt
7v
score 12 to 0.
Again the visitors kicked off, and the ball was caught by Snu-
�A
shall, who made a fine run through a broken field, to within five
yards of the center. On the next pass, Wilhelm made a long punt,
and as the Kalkaska man caught it he was downed by Slater before
he had gained a foot. Kalkaska made a center run, and was
downed back of the line for a big loss. Lewis tried right end but
made no gain, and the ball was secured by Maynard on an unsuccessful attempt to punt.
T. C. H. S. made some good gains, then lost the ball on a
fumble and the half ended with the ball in Kalkaska's possession.
In the second half with the game secure, our High School
played less of the regulation plays, and used trick plays to advantage. The ball was crowded rapidly to within a few yards of Kalkaska's goal, and then lost on downs. K. H. S. made a yard by
a center play, then fumbled. Slater got the ball and was sure of
a touchdown had not Wilhelm mistaken him for a Kalkaska man,
and tackled him. Snushall put the ball through the center for a
goal between the posts, but Wilhelm failed in his attempt at goal,
and the score was 17 to o..
Again Kalkaska kicked, and the ball was carried by Wilhelm
to within five yards of the center of the field. There McIntosh
had his wind knocked out, and H. Despres took his place, playing
well to the close of the game. The ball was rapidly forced down
to within a few feet of the goal, when within only half a minute to
play, Wilhelm went through the line with a touchdown. He
failed in an attempt at the goal, and the score was 22 to o.
The utmost good feeling prevailed in the game and there was
no slugging nor fouling. K. H. S. was heartily cheered at the
close. The boys were at the train to see them off and again
cheered them.

PETOSKEY H [GUI SCHOOL GOES DOWN BEFORE THE BLACK AND GOLD
ON THE HOME GROUNDS.—SCORE 38 TO 0.
N Thanksgiving Day, the Petoskeys met their Waterloo at
2th St. Park and the High School added another to its list
of victories.
The team from the sea-serpent city arrived on the 9:3o train
and after a good dinner were on the grounds promptly at 2:30
ready for the game.
A good-sized crowd was present and there was no delay in
starting the game. Our High School had a slight advantage in
weight which told somewhat in mass plays, but the game was won
on its merits.
No visiting team has ever played a more clean, straight-forward game here. They were gentlemen and won the friendship
O
�of the spectators, and especially of the High School team. They
played ball all of the time too, and were in the game to its close,
never ceasing to play hard and fast.
At the opening of the game the hoiiie team kicked off, and
the ball was downed on Petoskey's 20-yard line. The visitors
made a good gain around the end, when on the next play Snushall
passed the interference, and downed the ball for. a loss of five
yards to the Petoskeys. Then the ball went over on downs.
The play was opened for a long gain around right end, Maynard. the new half back, carrying the ball. The play was fast all
the time, and Maynard and Snushall alternated carrying the ball
for good gains around the end or gaining steadily through the
line. till at the end of 7;4 minutes, Maynard made a touchdown
right between the goal posts. He was thrown and the ball fell
from his hands, but Vogelsong fell on it. Novotny kicked the
goal handily and the score was 6.
Petoskey kicked off, and the ball was caught and carried to
the center of the field by Langworthy. Then Petoskey got it on
a fumble, but lost it at once on downs, Snushall again tackling the
half back in the rear of the line. Snushall made a good gain
around the end and another through the center, when Maynard
took a run around the end for a gain of 25 yards, Snushall playing fine interference. A series of line bucks and Maynard made
a tounchdown through the center. Novotny made a pretty kick
but the ball struck the bar, and the score was it.
Again Petoskey kicked to Langworthy, and the ball was carried to within four yards of the center of the field. Snushall made
a great gain around the left end, and was booked for a touchdown
had it not been for a tackle by Gix. But the touchdown was
made a little later by Langworthy, in a fine run around right end.
It was a hard place to kick the goal, and Novotnv's failure was
perfectly excusable. The score was 16 for the home team. It
required but 3;/2 minutes for this touchdown.
Again Petoskey kicked to Langworthy, and the ball was carried nearly to the center of the field. A double pass was tried,
which resulted in a loss of five yards, but the loss was more than
made up by a long end run of Maynard, in which four men in succession were foiled in their attempt to tackle him, he going down
before the fifth. Snushall made a long end gain and was very
near the line when downed. He crossed it in another play, and
the score was 21 as \ovotny failed to kick goal. The half ended
as the touchdown was made.
Petoskey began the second half by a kick off to Snushall, who
made a fine run. Alternate plays by Snushall and Maynard carried the ball rapidly almost to the visitors' goal. A funible threatened to lose the ball, but Boyer, the little quarter back who played
�in this game for the first time, fell on the ball and in another minute Novotny carried it over for a touchdown. He kicked a nice
goal and the score was 27.
Again the ball was kicked to Snushall, who fumbled, but Maynard fell on it. Several long gains by Snushall and Maynard
carried the ball to the visitors' io-vard line. A double pass from
Langworthy to Hurley carried the ball back of the goal posts, but
the referee decided that it was a forward pass. and the ball was
brought hack. Snushall made a long end gain on the next play
and a touchdown was scored. Novotny kicked low, the ball hit
the bar, making the score 32.
Again Snushall got the ball on the kick off, and made a good
gain. Some good gains were made through the line, then
Novotny punted. The ball went to Gix, who failed to hold it, and
Langworthy carried it over the line for a touchdown. Petoskey
claimed the catch was interfered with.
Petoskey kicked to Novotny, who carried the ball almost to
the center. A wedge play in which Snushall carried the ball, made
a long gain, then the ball was passed to Langworthy, who made a
long run and crossed the line. But it was a forward pass, and
Petoskey got the ball.
Then the most exciting plays of the game began. Perhaps
the fastest work of the entire game was done here by Petoskey.
A gain was made around right end, another around left end, a
good one through the center ; but in the next, Vogelsong downed
the ball hack of the line for a loss. Then Babcock tried a 30-yard
place kick, and missed a goal by only a few feet. The ball was
secured by Novotny and Petoskey wanted a score of 2 on account
of a touch back. Referee Westgate was doubtful of its being a
touch back ; anyway, as the rules gave no authority for scoring on
a touch back, the score was declared 38—o in favor of the Black
and Gold.
Maynard showed his efficiency as a half hack during the game
and ought to make a strong man for the team next year.

�The team of "'oo" expects to organize earlier than 'oo did.
The team of '99 showed what practise and team work can do.
While some of the old players will not be hack next year there will
still be plenty of good material in the High School for a team, and
with practice they ought to win some games. Plans now are to
organize the afternoon of the first day of school when the session
is dismissed for classification. The boys realize that good, clean
athletics are the best all around, and intend to enter into football
and studies to win. Good clean athletics ought to be encouraged.

��Baseboll in the roll of 1599 and Spring of 1900
iE baseball season of 1899-1990 opened for the High School
team very soon after school commenced in September. On
September II, the enthusiasts met and elected High School
Athletic Association officers as follows :
President—Supt. C. H. Horn.
Secretary and Treasurer—Herbert I. Somers.
The organization was effected with the ever present aim of
interesting athletics in the various departments.
No large association of this nature can do any amount of business without financial support and after Robert E. Walter and
Frank Novotny had been chosen Manager and Captain, respectively, of the team to be, they set about to replenish the treasury
with funds, raised by popular subscription among the High School
players. In a few days enough wherewithal was collected to buy
a new second hand baseball, and a meeting for the inspection of
the baseball tossers was announced to take place on Twelfth Street
Park immediately after the afternoon session of the school. This
meeting was largely attended and proved to be very interesting
to many. A foraged pump-handle was extracted from the clothing of a manly looking student and soon the newly purchased
horsehide was once again bounding over the diamond, nipping a
finger here and there and avoiding being caught as much as possible. The first night's practice developed perplexing questions,
along with sore fingers, to Captain Novotny. Enough players to
compose several very amateur teams were present. However,
these difficulties were cleared the next night when only a few extra
players reported for work. For several days following good
work was accomplished and some good practice games were
played among the students, notwithstanding that the line-up on
each side was irregular every time. Soon, however, the team was
chosen and an invitation to a contest with Ilenda's Twirlers was
accepted, though the latter had been playing all summer. Their
advantage in long practice was clearly seen in that first game,
when the High School boys were defeated by two scores, the finish
being 5 to 7.
More practice was heaped upon the students and every player
was urged upon to be present at the next game with the Twirlers.
This came off on a Saturday and also proved fatal. A number
of the High School team failed to appear, and another game was
lost, 9 to 6. This aroused the ire of Manager Walter and after
that it behooved every player, who cared for his position, to be
ready for practice exactly four minutes from the time school was
out, every night. No dates were arranged for a week. For five
nights the pitchers received their "bumps" without a murmur, and
every player received his blessing when the ball was dropped with-
T
�out making an audible reference to the fault of his glove or mitt.
Toward the end of the week it was officially announced that another game with the Twirlers would be risked on Saturday. The
hour of the game found every player on the bench, trembling with
excitement and wondering to himself if this would not be the last
chance he would have to defend the Black and Gold. Catcher
Dunn was the first to bat and promptly sent the ball on an excursion into left field while he made tracks for second base via first.
With this mortgage on the game at the start, each student player
added heavy interest and at the end of the seventh inning, foreclosed their rights to victory 8 to 4, with hardly an error to their
credit.
The following week they performed a similar feat against
the same opponents, the score standing 9 'to 5. The next game
between the Twirlers and the High School took place one night
after school, and was given to the former on what has since been
termed a "technical point." The High School team was last at
bat with two men out, three on bases, and only one score behind,
when Coacher Wilhelm, chief strategy coacher, pretending he was
a base runner, ran from third base toward home plate. The ball
was passed hurriedly to the catcher, who missed it and the real
base runner at third base came home. The catcher endeavored
to catch the second base runner at third base, and here again the
ball was fumbled and the runner reached home safely, bringing
in the winning score. But the other man was caught between
second and third and the side was retired. Then commenced a
series of complaints that the two scores brought in during those
plays were illegal because they were made on a play retiring the
side. Nothing would pacify the complainants and finally Captain Novotnv's good nature bade him give the decision in favor
of them.
The last game to be mentioned is one that would hardly be
recorded with consent of the players, if the High School had been
the losers. This time the "Invincible Armadas" were the contestants for honors with the High School team. Manager Walter had been rather dubious about the advisability of arranging
dates with this team, considering them, from their title, something
too strong for the High School team to handle. However it was
proved that invincible sometimes, once anyway, meant convincible,
for during the entire nine innings not an Armada crossed home
plate and very few saw first base. The students pitted twenty
runs.
During these series of games the batte,-y for the High School
was Somers and Dunn.
!Kalkaska High School and Elk Rapids were written to for
games but they did not organize in the fall. Old Mission could
give us no game as they disbanded with Catcher Lardie's depart-
�ure for the University. Several dates were arranged with the
asylum team but the High School was disappointed in getting a
game with them.]
SEASON OF 1900.
The season opened the latter part of April and officers for the
team were elected as follows:
Manager—Frank Novotny.
Captain—Tom Wilhelm.
Much interest was manifested in getting a team started again
this spring and a large number of old time players and some new
ones reported for, practice each night. The main difficulty presented this season was in the fact that other aggregations were
slow in getting organized. No regular matches have yet been
played, but excellent prospects for games with outside High
Schools are in view.

JEROME WILHELM, '92 and University of Pennsylvania '98,
played on his class team during his Freshman year and on the University Baseball team during the remaining three years that he was
in college. He was reported by Walter Camp as the best collegiate infielder in '98. He played football on his class team, and

HARRY KYSELKA, '96. "Ever since Harry Kyselka entered
the University in the fall of '97 the football coaches have been

without doubt make the 'Varsity eleven. He, however, prefers to
devote his entire time to study. He is a medic and one of the best
in his class."—Grand Rapids Herald.

STEVEN LARDIE, '98, who was twice President of the H. S.
Athletic Association and played half on the '96 and '97 teams, is
a sprinter, as all players know who ever attempted to overtake him
when he had the ball and any kind of a show. He was always
interested in baseball playing on the H. S. and his home (Old Mission) team. He is in the law department, U. of M., having entered in '98, and will undoubtedly make the 'Varsity team this
spring. Last year he caught on his class team.

You are supposed to walk single file through the halls.
Go down the stairs one step at a time. Keep to the right.
Follow the same rules in coming up. Under no considerations
slide down the banisters. The girls will please keep this in mind.
The boys are cautioned against putting their feet on the desks
when eating.
Students from the country Nv 1 1 please notice that we have no
recess, so when it's convenient for you to get warm dinners bring
no lunches. We wish you to refrain from eating pie in school.
Keep off the grass. The janitor wants it to grow so he can
cut it again.
It is positively against the rules for anyone but a teacher to
chew gum.
Do not leave doughnuts for the teachers on the spindles or the

�Class Socials.
X S early as the month of October the Seniors commenced to
/A think of plans and preparations for the Annual. For this it was
necessary that we should have money in the treasury, so a
Pumpkin Pie Social was decided upon for the purpose of starting
this fund. We held the social in Foresters' Hall the evening of
October 22d, and a large crowd patronized the tables, showing the
high appreciation of the public for pumpkin pie. The evening was
a very enjoyable one. Mr. Horn had the honor of devouring the
most pie. It was a complete success both socially and financially.
•
One monday night in January the Seniors and others gad-rued in the old K. of P. Hall for the purpose of enjoying a box
social. The hail was found by the girls as the boys had hunted
in vain for a stopping place for one evening, and as the door to
success is labeled "Push,- they failed.
The early part of the evening was spent in playing carroms
and jolly social chats around in the corners which had been made
attractive by screens and other decorations. Lawyer Gilbert appeared upon the scene and the night-caps were given to a merciless auctioneer who sent them flying to the right and left. Then
what fun the boys had finding their partners for supper, but soon
the girls appeared bedecked in crimson, yellow, pink, blue and
every other colored bonnet imaginable.
After lunch we spent the time in playing jolly games and at a
late hour we wended our way homeward feeling that a profitable
and enjoyable evening- had been spent.

NI( ),NG the varied undertakings of the Class of 19oo, none deserves greater commendation, or proves more clearly their
energy and perseverance than the entertainment given in the
City ( )pera House the evening of March 2 and 3.
The name though suggestive can give but a faint conception
of the novel and picturesque scene that greeted expectant visitors.
In appearance, the opera house had been transformed into a veritable gipsy camp with tents. camp fires, wagons, and the ever necessary accessories of gipsy life, dogs and stolen chickens. A tour
throut211 :1w camp revealed dark-eyed maids offering for sale a
"Drink from Sunny Spain ;" "Zingarella, the Flower Girl," tempting the unwary to buy just one flower or many from her basket. A
real Spring maiden, Azucena, whose hearts, darts and mittens
proved favorite souvenirs. Here a group of singers attracted
attention, there men in gipsy dress lounged idly around the camp
fires, while others called lustily from covered wagons, "Luck packages for sale, here's where you get your luck." At every turn a
new surprise awaited the uninitiated until in imagination you were
far away amidst the real life of these interesting people. As soon
as the curiosity of the spectators had been gratified, a program
was rendered in true gipsy fashion. This consisted of songs, recitations and tableaux, a wand drill by sixteen gaily dressed maidens
being one of the prettiest features.
All the characters deserve commendation, yet this sketch will
permit the mention of only the more prominent. Among those
were Zarca, the chief : Zingara, the fortune teller ; Zingarella, the
flower girl ; Azucena, the heart, dart and mitten girl : the fiendish
hags and the beautiful gipsy queen.
The financial success of the first evening seemed to justify
its repetition and accordingly with some variations the entertainment was repeated. Had there existed any doubt regarding the
appreciation of the audience or the success of the entertainment
from an artistic standpoint they were utterly put to flight 1w the
liberal patronage accorded it the second evening.
The purpose of the entertainment was commendable. It was
planned with a view to raising funds for an annual and in this the
Class was not to be disappointed, as the entertainment netted them
the neat sum of ninety dollars.
�That it proved so successful was due largely to the untiring
efforts of the Class, though they received valuable assistance not
only from the members of the High School and the teachers—
especially Miss Downing and Miss Bliss, also, from Mrs. J. B.
Martin and others not directly connected with the school. The
plan was new and the ingenuity of those who proposed and executed it, was everywhere in evidence. Everything from the gay
parade to the gipsy program was instructive and entertaining,
proving beyond a doubt the resourcefulness of this most resourceful of classes.
Sleigh-ride to N1401(1111.
NE thy in the cold month of February the naughty-naughts
decided to run away from school. They came bright and early
that morning, each having his lesson, thinking that that would
surely pardon him from any guilt of the day. They made a great
deal of noise, tittering and whispering. and the faculty stared and
wondered, but could not imagine what the "Dignitaries" were
going to do. But the mvsterious.—the unknown,—did not remain
in the dark long ; it was revealed when the bell gave its last toll
at noon. and the ones in authority looking up the rows of seats
noticed that every senior, excepting an exceedingly brave one, was
missing. Just then their attention was called to a sleigh load of
youths with much cultivated brain matter crying out in a loud
voice. "Razzle ! Dazzle ! Buff Boom Bah ! Traverse City High
School. Rah. Rah. Rah !" Then the faculty turned to their classes,
and on went the jolly sleigh load.
They were absorbed in the beauty of the country ; the woods,
the bay, the wide stretching hills. But the hilly t Hillie) country
was especially admired by one of the girls. Finally these scenes
passed from their view and before them in all its glory appeared
the knighted town of Bingham. Xo time was spent in viewing
the town, for ahead of them, just back of a hill, was the little school
taught by the Long and Short of it : this was the place they were
desirous of reaching. The teachers came forth and in an embarassing manner greeted the surprise party, while about forty or
fifty little urchins stood in the background viewing the scene with
knowing countenances. Some of them decorated their faces with
O
�a broad grin, when they saw the seniors carrying large sacks and
one, a large can. After the children had departed, a search for
a cook (or cookie) was the next thing on the program. Finally
an experienced one was found, who could demonstrate geometry
problems and cook oysters at the same time, which he did in an
excellent manner. After eating a bounteous supper, some of the
"Dignitaries," remembering that they were to appear on the Lyceum program that evening, after much persuasion succeeded in
getting the others ready. After singing a favorite song they
started on their homeward trip, reaching the city in time to hear
a few closing parts of the Lyceum program.
Sicloh-ride to Gunton Schoolhouse.
eJ
NE bitter cold night in March, two, the Senior Class was to
meet at Wait's drug store to drive out to Gunton's Schoolhouse to a box social. At the appointed time the girls of the
class were there bat to the astonishment of all only the boy who
was to sec about the team was present.
The girls being equal to the occasion said : "The boys needn't
think they are the whole thing, we can drive and we will go anyway."
One of the members showed great skill in driving and everything \vent nicely until about a half mile from town when they discovered that they were on the wrong road and the horses had to
wade about knee deep in the snow for some distance.
They finally reached the school-house, however, and were
royally entertained by the teacher and others.
�Coasting Party.
N the evening of two the 16th of March, a very cold night, the
thermometer registering nearly zero, the Senior Class came
together with toboggans to slide down hill. They found a hill,
a large hill, and slid down hill with all the swiftness the hill would
give them. At about ten they went to the home of Winifred
Fuller and had a feast. The menu, furnished by the Class, consisted of onions, frankforts, coffee, cookies and bread and butter.
Enjoy themselves? No they didn't. In the wee hours of the
morning they sang—
"Sweet hunch of onions, Brought from the dell,
Kiss me once darling, ( )nions won't smell," etc.,
and went home.
O
Class Party.
W
E went to a party at Miss 1)owning's and :\liss Atkin's home
We knew we were going before we were invited, because we
called in a body one Friday night and found them writing invitations to the party which was to he given on Friday evening,
April 6th. April 6th came. To the party we went. What fun we
had ! Two pretty girls met us at the door, and showed us just
where to put our wraps, so we wouldn't get lost or make any mistakes. When we were all there the fun began. It was "marble
season," you know. We didn't play marbles for keeps, but we had
a marble hunt and there was a winner and a booby in the game,
each of whom received suitable prizes. Next we saw ourselves as
others see us, in character sketches. We had refreshments too. My
but they were good ! The boys were all glad they went. So were
the girls. 0 yes, and there was music in the air while we refreshed ourselves. After we had eaten all we wanted we had our
fortunes told. Some of us will be old maids and bachelors, some
will be nuns, one is going to invent a geometry lubricator, another
will be president, still others will marry.
Well, it was kind of late then, so we went home. We'd like
to go again. Maybe some of us will he Seniors next year just so
we will he invited to another such party.
�Reception Given by Young People's
Societies.
N E of the most profitable and enjoyable events of each school
year is the annual reception given the teachers and pupils by
some one of the church societies. This affords an opportunity for parents, teachers and pupils to become better acquainted.
O
Junior Reception.
"17-1E Junior Reception to the Seniors was introduced as a High
I School function in May, eighteen ninety-eight.
The class of ninetv-nine—then Juniors—was unlawfully
barred out of the annual Senior-Junior Party, and to heap coals
of fire upon the heads of the august Seniors and to display its
ability in a social Nt ay. introduced a new function—a reception to
the Seniors and High School teachers.
The first affair was such an event socially that the class of
nineteen hundred took up the affair in May, eighteen ninety-nine,
and outdid the originators. The popularity of this reception has
caused it to become established as an annual social event.
One of the pleasantest social events during the Senior year
was the reception given by the Juniors, May the 18th, at Montague
Hall. The invitations were written in Latin. The Hall was
artistically draped with the colors of the two classes. Easy chairs,
couches, rugs, and potted plants added to the attractiveness of the
room. An interesting program of music and recitations was
given. From a booth in one corner two charming little maids in
pink and green served frappe and angel food. The Seniors will
always be reminded of the happy occasion by the dainty souvenirs
they carried away with them.

HAT The traversensian has been
published is largely due to the
liberal patronage of the advertising department by the business men of
this city. They have contributed no small
amount to its success and have shown an
interest in our schools by helping this new
project along. The advertising matter far
xceeded our expectations, showing that the
business men of our city appreciate all
advancement for the betterment of our
s:hools and their educational work. To
the people of this city and the surrounding
country we recommend and heartily endorse all advertisers in this book and hope
they will receive a liberal patronage from
all our readers. AAAAAAAAAA

�GREETING.
The Senior Class of 1902 takes pleasure in presenting to their friends and the public, this little volume.
the second Annual published by the Traverse City High School. Deep interest in the progress of our High
School inspired the effort, and honest, faithful work on the part of those interested, has been the means of
securing whatever this, the successor of the "Traversensian" attains. The collection of the manuscripts
preparatory to the publication of the Orion has not been a light or easy task, yet it is far from the
intention of the Seniors to take upon themselves the credit for all that has been accomplished or to claim this
as a class boOk. Difficulties and discouragements that endeavored to defeat our purpose and proclaim us their
victims, have been met with, face to face, in the preparation of these pages, but never have they succeeded in
spelling "Failure" and writing it across our efforts. For in these dark hours of trouble there CitI11e to us
those most comforting and best of all stimulants, the encouragement of our teachers and the co-operation of
our fellow students. And while it was the Seniors who undertook the management of this Animal, for which
reason there has been more space devoted to them, the Orion has been compiled for the purpose
of illustrating what our students can do, and that no school is more up with the times than our own Traverse
City High School.
That future editors of the High School Annual may meet with as much kindness and encouragement
as we have, is the best wish of the Orion Editors.

�HE schools of Traverse City have
always possessed an enviable reputation. This fact is due first of
all to the desire on the part of the citizens to offer to the young people of the
city the very best possible educational
advantages. This reputation has been
attained by the hearty co-operation
which has ever prevailed between the
citizens and teachers. Under the leadership of able superintendents and loyal.
conscientious teachers, a splendid school
system has been established.
This system had its beginning on a
small scale in the early days of the city's
existence and has been enlarge► l as

the necessities demanded. The rapid
growth of the city during the last few years has required remarkable expansion of its educational facilities. It has called for the erection of several large buildings, and the purchase of the necessary equipment
essential to the best teaching. For these purposes, the people of Travers6 City have been very liberal.
The system now requires four large buildings-- Central. Elmwood Avenue. Boardman avenue, and Oak Park.
�I )e:-;ides two small buildings - South Primary and Boonville. Each of the large
buildings is equipped with a good sized
library to supplement the work of the
grades and furnish the pupils with access to some of the best literature. In
the High School is to be found an additional library of 1000 volumes, selecti•cl especially for the needs of the High
School work. and purchased almost entirely from the proceeds of the Lecture
.114 .t:
Course Fund. From year to year. con• oifr
siderable money from this fund has been
used to purchase equipment for the laboratories. This money, together with
small appropriations from year to year
from the Board of Education. has given

the High School adequate laboratory facilities for the work
But the buildings and equipments do not make good schools. They are the means to such an end. Our
good schools are due to the earnest efforts of teachers and pupils. Great care in the selection of teachers
has secured the services of well trained and experienced teachers, whose hearts and minds have been given to
�OAK PARK SCHOOL
their chosen work. Long may the citizens of Traverse City continue to hold lofty ideals for their schools and
demand that their yoUng people shall have the very best training which good judgment and money can place at
their disposal.
�LECTURE AND MUSIC COURSE.
The High School Lecture and Music Course has been in successful operation. for nine years. The
ready sale of tickets each year is proof of the high regard in which the course is held. For the past three years
about nine hundred season tickets have been sold annually and from them the course has realized such large
profits, that this year the managers decided to give a complimentary number, a concert by Stewart & Steffens
orchestra.
The paramount purpose of the course has been to enable both young and old to hear elevating and
instructive lectures, thereby developing in them a love for noble things. Their eyes have been opened to the
affairs going on in the great world around them and they have been brought to realize the deeper significance
of education. Now and again have occurred entertainments, which though not so instructive to the majority of
people, nevertheless, have been greatly enjoyed. They have been the means of arousing interest and helping us
to realize the value of the voice and other talents with which God has endowed us.
This year the profits of the course have been even greater than in previous years, and as a result we
have placed in the assembly room of the High School, a new Kimball piano, in the commercial room two fine
office desks, also the usual number of voluMes in the library, thus filling all the available space afforded by the
room.
It has king been the desire of the students as well as some of the patrons, that a separate building
might be erected to be used exclusively as a High School library. The hope still lingers within our hearts.
that some time in the near future a benefactor shall arise, who will fulfill the requirements of our wish.
We append the numbers of the Course for 1902.

LYCEUM.
the Lyceum. It accomplishes that toward
(late of the greatest educational factors in school life today
which the work of the school room has been only a stepping stone, namely. the power of being able to address
Large audiences either in debate or ortAlry.
The Lyceum is a connecting link between school life and the great whirl going on in the outer world of
existence. The young man or young woman is trained to pres:.nt and maintain an argument: to acqmint himself with the great problems of the day: to think for himself and to express what he thinks; to write or deliver
any part worthy the effort of a High School student. This is the primary object of the work of the Lyceum.
Nor has the Traverse City High School been found wanting this year in its material for excellent Lyceum
work, and as a result some fine programs have been given, which have shown thoughtful. pa instaking effort on
the part of the student, and equally careful work on the part of the teacher in charge.
The following are the officers of tike Lyceum for the year 1901-02.

�"Youth Proclaimed McKinley as a Hero; Time, a Statesman; Love, a
e.4
Man; Death has Crowned Him as a Martyr."
ez4
In the vigor of robust manhood: at the very In+Oit of his powers: in the possession of all his faculties:
at a time of profound peace. when nothing was occurring to excite the passions of men; when we were engaged
in a celebration of the triumphs of art, science. lite:ature, commerce, civilization. and all that goes to make
up the greatest prospnity, advanc,, ment, and happl1n33. tie world has ever known: surrounded by thousands of
his countrymen, vying with each other in demonstrations of friendship and good-will. the President of the
United States, without a moment's warning, was stricken clown by an assassin, who, while greeting him with one
hand. shot him to death with the other.
Washington saw the beginning of our national life. Lincoln passed through the night of our history.
saw the dawn. McKinley beheld his country in the splendor of its noon. Truly he died in the fullness of
his fame. Great in life, he was surpassingly great in death.
"Let us think that his dying eyes read a mystic meaning which only the rapt and parting soul may know.
a farther shore. and
Let us believe, in the silence of the receding world, he heard the great waves breaking
felt already upon his wasted brow the breath of the eternal morning."
His religious faith solaced him in life. and did not fail him when the supreme test came. When the
dread hour of dissolution overtook him, and the last touching farewell had been spoken. he sank to rest murmuring "Nearer. My God, to Thee." This was his last triumph and his greatest. His whole life was given to
humanity. but in his death we find his most precious legacy.
�The touching story of that deathbed scene will rest on generations yet unborn like a soothing benediction. Such Christian fortitude and resignation give us a clearer conception of what was in the apostle's mind
when he exclaimed. "0 death, where is thy sting? 0 grave, where is thy victory?"
"Quiet, dig,nified, modest, considerate of others: ever mindful of the long service of the leaders of his
party, true as steel to his friends: unhesitating at the call of duty. no matter what the personal sacrifice;
unwavering in his integrity, full of tact in overcoming opposition, yet unyielding on vital principles; with a.
heart full of sympathy for those who toil, a disposition unspoiled by success, and a private life equally spotless
and self sacrificing, William McKinley stood before the American people as one of the finest types of courageous. persevering, vigorous, and developing manhood that this Republic ever produced."
Though 'Washington's name is ever first in the people's thoughts, Lincoln's ever immanent as a glorious
martyr to a great cause, the name of McKinley crystalizes an epoch, the most signal in the history of the
Republic, surpassing in its achievements, under his administration, the most brilliant efforts of the past, and
dazzling in its possibilities for the future of the people, and of the Government for the people and by the
people.
McKinley was the great American patriot, soldier, lawyer, orator, statesman, and president. He had
traversed the rugged pathway from the obscurity of a humble American home to the very pinnacle of earthly
glory.
"From the top of fame's ladder, he mounted to the sky."
But it was God's way, that he should live through days of agony, to fight in the presence of all the world
his last, hopeless, unequal battle. It was God's way that the people should be transported to the mountain tops
of joy over his recovery, and plunged into the very depths of grief over his death. It was God's way to reveal
�to the millions how William McKinley could live—how William McKinley could die. It was God's way
that the American people should pause to study the lesson of that blameless life, and with their mind's eye to
search through all the past for the great ideal, pausing a moment in its sweep over the gentle life of Abraham
Lincohi, then sweeping backward through the ages, to rest in the presence of that matchless life going out upon
a cross in Galilee.
It is fitting that we should reflect upon that majestic power for self sacrifice, which won victory after
victory until it reached its greatest triumph in conquest over death itself. The nation mourns for McKinley;
his death has extinguished the last embers of sectional bitterness; the North and South together kneel at his
bier; the whole world sees a weeping but united nation.
We, pupils of Traverse City High School, joined with the multitude of people, who were endeavoring
to show due honor to the honored one who had just passed into the valley of the shadow of death. So, on the
18th of September, 1901, we rendered the following memorial program, which was given during chapel hours:

�.. DEBATE . .
One of the most interesting and important features of the work of the Senior Lyceum during the past
year was a joint debate between the Lincoln Literary Society and the Senior Lyceum. both of Traverse City.
About two months prior to the debate the challenge was presented to the Lyceum from the Literary
Society, and was accepted. A committee was appointed to make all necessary arrangements. At the next
Lyceum meeting the report was made, and in turn another committee consisting of Mr. Ryder, Miss Downing,
and Lottie Nash was appointed to choose the debaters. The result was that Reno Colby. Ethel M. Pope and
Hervey Anderson were selected to represent the Senior Lyceum.
The debaters chose the subject for discussion, which was: Resolved. That Congress should not pass the
proposed Ship-subsidy bill. The Lincoln Literary Society took the affirmative, and were represented by Roy
Scofield. Earl Adams and Roy Wyncoop.
The debate took place on February 28, 1902. Emil Lederle and Orpha Cressy, officers of the Lyceum.
presided at the meeting. The challenge was read, also the report of the committee. Then the president stated
the question, and the basis upon which the debaters would be marked.
The debate was opened by the Lincoln Literary Society, who sought to prove that it was unconstitutional; that the promoters of the bill, and not the farmer and producer would receive the greatest benefit: that it
would operate to establish a monopoly; that it was unjust because it was a measure to tax the n►any in order to
subsidize the few. The Lyceum endeavored to show that with the passage of the bill, our ship-building industry would increase. and the United States would reap large financial benefits; that hundreds of trades would
feel the stimulous of the prosperity that would follow the American construction of the ships we need for the
�transportation of our imports and exports: other nations have
subsidized their ships. and have found it expedient. so why
should we not subsidize; that by the law of competition freight
charges would be lowered and save the money to the Anieric:►.ns.
Many other interesting points were brought out on both sides.
The judges. Messrs. Davis. Welton, and Stout then withdrew. Upon their return, Mr. Welton gave the score of each
debater, the basis upon which they were marked being, argument 60; diction 20; delivery 20; The result was as follows:
Roy Scofield. opening 83; closing 93: Earl Adau►s. 93!1:
Boy Wynkoop 91!. Total for Lincoln Literary Society 3604.
Reno Colby, opening 89: closing 87A: Ethel M. Pope. 100:
Hervey Anderson. 864. Total for Senior Lyceum. 363.
On account of the peculiar statement of the question. Mr.
Welton announced that the affirmative had won. However, he
soon rectified it, and the members of the Lyceum fully illustrated the old adage. "He laughs loudest, who laughs
But although the representatives of the Senior Lyceun'
won over the debaters of the Lincoln Literary Society. it was
by so narrow a margin that if there is glory i►► the victory, there
is no disgrace in the defeat.
�HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY
Any one who goes through the High School and fails to visit the library has certainly called in vain.
Especially is this true at the opening of a new school year, for it is then one will learn most astonishing facts.
For instance, he will learn that Franklin is the author of "Saturday Evening Post." that Boyer is a famous chemist; or he may hear a call for Milton's "Prologue," or for Chaucer's "Fairie Queen." The library slips, too
reveal strange things. According to them Hawthorne himself was an imposter, for it was a sophomore girl who
wrote "Twice Told Tales," usually attributed to him.
What strange tales of wondrous doings those tables and chairs could tell; tales of billet deaux and other
things of little NOTE; of private lectures from a stern librarian; of TETE-A-TETES by the score, and of surprise
and sudden departure; tales of things which the faculty never dream of, even in their wildest flights of imagination.
The library itself is a well lighted room, supplied with papers. magazines and reading tables. There are
about thirteen hundred books upon the shelves, awaiting the perusal of the eager student. There are books
on Psychology, Physiology, Mineralogy. Histology, Geology, Poetry and on ninny other subjects of large importance.
Lack of space prevents our giving amore detailed account of this most interesting room and its pleasant
associations. We can only mention the stormy interviews that have taken place and the laughable incidents
that have occurred within those dear old walls. And now before you go--a word from the poet.
When you're foolin in the library
And havin' lots of fun
A laughin' and a jabbiii'
As if your time had come,
You'd better watch your corners
And keep kinder lookin' out
E'r the librariau'll get you,
Ef you don't watch out.
��THE LABORATORIES
The purpose of the laboratory is mainly, to make knowledge real. I i is a Nnuptratively modern source
of information. We need turn hack but a few years to find physics. botan it lid others of the Sciences. purely
text-hook courss. Today, however. we believe the laboratory to be as essential as the class-room to a correct
knowledge of the subjects. The old style of instruction, which dealt with facts alone, has given place to the
new. which maintains that ability is preferable to mere knowledge.
The advantages of the science laboratory are of a two-fold nature. First: It is generally conceded that
to train the hand is to develop the brain. In our present methods of education, we see its application in the
kindergarten and in the introduction of Manual Training in many of our public schools. Second: Because of
a practical demonstration and verification of the laws and principles found in the text, the interest is aroused.
and the subject matter more thoroughly understood. The knowledge the student is seeking becomes more real.
as he is gaining it for himself, as nearly as possible at first hand. or as the product of his own thinking.
The needs of the laboratories must receive constant attention in order to keep pace with the advances
and discoveries in these lines. The laboratories of the High School are fairly equipped for the study of some
branches. in others quite deficient. They are conveniently placed and well lighted. The chemical laboratory
is supplied with water, gas. hood, and the apparatus and chemicals necessary for quite a thorough course in
qualitative analyses. Sixteen students can be accommodated at the desks. The physical laboratory is well
supplied with apparatus for demonstration and individual work. During the year, sixty experiments, largely
quantitative in nature. are given. covering the work in mechanics, heat. magnetism, electricity. sound and light.
In botany. because of the increase in required work and large number of pupils. a great need is felt for a special
room and more apparatus for microscopic work and pha► t analysis.
��COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
One of the most interesting departments of the High School is the Commercial department. Through
the untiring efforts of Mr. Needham, the present instructor, many valuable improvements have been made, and
the work has become more practical and interesting.
Until about three years ago, the book-keeping students occupied but one table in one of the smaller class
rooms on the second floor. Now, one of the largest rooms on the first floor is used for the Commercial work.
The number of students who are taking Book-keeping this semester, is about fifty. This does not include the classes in Penmanship and business forms.
The beginning classes in Book-keeping use the Ellis Tablet System, and the advanced classes, the Actual
Business System. The latter is interesting and practical, as the students not only transact business with
one another, but also with other schools.
A valuable addition to the Commercial room is the banking outfit, consisting of nicely arranged offices
and the following books: Cash book, Individual ledger, Collection file, Collection register, Draft register, and
Discount register.
The rapid growth of the Commercial department in our High School shows in this, as well as in other
schools all over the United States, the growing demand for a practical business education.
It is to be hoped that in the near future this department will rank as one of the best of its kind in the
state.
��HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS
A pleasing feature of the High School is the Chorus under the most efficit.nt leadership of Mrs. Dayton.
The Chorus. for the most part. is composed of the members of the Ninth and Tenth grades, who have taken music before, or who are familiar with the work of the grades. It has about one hundred and fifty members
and meets twice a week for about half an hour each day. For those who have never taken music, there is a
Beginner's class which meets once a week.
The work of the Chorus has been excellent. During the first part of the school year and until about six
weeks before Christmas, a book. Songs of All Lands, was used, which contains the National airs and other
favorite songs of many nations. About six weeks before Christmas, the rehearsals for the cantata, Queen Esther.
were begun. Perhaps this was the best work of the Chorus, and in Mrs. Dayton's opinion, the most beneficial
to the members. An excellent spirit of co-operation was shown among the members. and this greatly encouraged Mrs. Dayton. who was untiring in her efforts. During a short time each day, for about four weeks, she conducted the rehearsals.
This year. as has been the custom during the preceding years. the Chorus will take part in the Commencement exercises. The Choruses that were chosen are. Red Scarf by Barnby. Gloria. from Mozart's
Twelfth Mass, and Soldiers' Chorus from Grunod's Faust. Since Christmas, the work has been rehearsals of
these.
�. . . DRAWING . . .
Drawing is the only school subject which educates the head. heart and hand. It is the only subject
practical enough in its nature to enable a child to earn a money return for his study. One pupil in the eighth
grade has been able to earn her clothes for the past year by using the knowledge and skill gained in the drawing class, another earned ten dollars by the help of a single lesson in gate designs, and other children have
fomal a ready sale for their valentines, easter-cards, and souvenirs and in this way have earned many an extra
dollar. Few occupations offer such inducements for young people. In many places there are not enough
drawing teachers to supply the demand, yet in every high school may be found a dozen young people who
would excel in such a vocation if they could spend a year or two in preparation for it.
Drawing began its history here, two years ago, when the foundation principles were laid in the grades.
and at the suggestion of Prof. Horn, classes were also started in the High School. Color work was given in
the grades, but owing to the limited time of only twenty-five minutes each week, devoted to drawing in the
High School it was only possible to give pencil and pen work.
The rapid advancement made along this line during the past two years cannot be other than gratifying
to the parents and teachers, and not only to these but to all who have the welfare of our schools at heart.
Last summer an exhibit of drawing work was made at the N. E. A. at Detroit. and after being inspected
by Prof. McFarlane and other competent authorities, it was decided to give one term of college credit for a
year's work of High School drawing. This is a privilege few high schools enjoy and places Traverse City on
an equal footing with Detroit and Chicago in this line.
At the Michigan Teachers Association at Cadillac last November an exhibit of our work in color study
�was given and received high commendation from leading educators throughout the state. President Leonard,
head of the Michigan System of Normal Schools and Colleges, expressed the sentiment of all present, in a
recent letter to Miss Woodman, in which he says, •'I am perfectly sincere in saying I have seen no drawing
work which has pleased me so much as the Traverse City exhibit at Cadillac."
The exhibit given at the Central School building in March was exceptionally fine and would compare
favorably with like exhibits in larger cities. The excellent character of the work was a great credit to the
Traverse City schools and called forth words of highest commendation.
The high grade of work and the rapid advancement made during the past two years is due to the earnest
work of Miss Woodman, through whose untiring efforts it has been possible to make the drawing work so successful. The work done in the High School and in the Boonville School has been voluntary on her part, it
having been undertaken solely because of her love for the work and her interest in the advancement of the
pupils.
The Senior Class is also greatly indebted to Miss Woodman for her kind assistance in the decoration of
the Annual, and will always hold her in grateful remembrance.
��The Last of the Du Fonts.
The DuPonts were one of the oldest of the noble houses of France. The motto of the first of their line.
Henry the Crusader, had been, "Non nobis solum- (Not for ourselves alone), and it was the motto under which
generations of succeeding DuPouts had lived and died. Not only had the name DuPont ever stood for all
that was true and honorable in man, but it had stood also for all that was noblest. purest. and best in woman.
-Non nobis
But reverses and misfortune had come. "the mig,lity had been put down front their seat." and the only
remaining members of the proud old family lived in a little cottage in the village of La (layette. in southern
France. These were Madam DuPont and her grand-daughter Catherine, a girl of 18, with all the beauty and
the nobility of character, which were hers by inheritance.
Catherine's accepted suitor was Jean Belcour--a medical student in Paris. Jean did not come of gentle
birth, but he and Catherine had known each other since childhood, and their friendship had grown into something deeper and stronger. and when Jean finished his medical course they were to be ►carried.
Three years passed by and Madam DuPont had died but Catherine still lived in the little cottage. ira
company with a faithful old servant, waiting the time when jean might claim her as his bride.
One day there came word to him that Catherine had been stricken with a strange and sudden illness,
and before he could reach her bedside she was dead. She had left him this parting message:
"Jean. I shall never see you again for they tell me I am dying. .Jean. my life has been so worthless.
what have I done worthy of the name I bear? But perhaps in death I may accomplish what I failed to in life.
It is but little I know. Take my body and use it for the best interest of medical science. •Non nobis solum.' "
�Her request was granted and with his own hands Jean dissected the body. and mounted the skeleton.
In after years .Jean► became a noted physician. and it seemed that he, too, must have caught the spirit of
the motto Of the DuPonts. for he went about everywhere doing good. forgetful of self, living only for others.
Doctor Belcour never married and when he died after a severe illness brought on by over work, a great ninny of
his personal effects were sold, and among them, to a firm in America, a skeleton the romantic history of which
none ever .►uessed.
Today. all that remains mortal of Catherine DuPont is what the High School students know as "the
skeleton.- It has often been an object of derision, but what better motto could one take for his life than the
L. E. M.
one which prompted the action of the last of the DuPonts.--"Non nobis solum?"

The following extracts from sev(.1.::1 of the leading newspapers of the state furnish a brief history of the
proceedings of the Senior Class:
*•*
Traverse City, Mich., Sept 27,—(Special)—A base ball game between the Faculty and the boys of the
Senior Class, something new in the history of the High School, occurred today. It was a great victory for the
Seniors, although the Faculty deserve praise for their heroic efforts to save the day. Special mention should
be made of Mr. Dumbrille's running, Mr. Krenerick's pitching. Mr. Horn's catching, protected by the "muzzle."
and also of the fine work of "Prof." Beach.—Grand Rapids Evening Press.
* • *
Traverse City, Mich., Oct., 5. - (Special) - The Seniors have a good joke on the Juniors. The enthusiasm created among the students of the High School by the Faculty Senior ball game resulted in the boys of the
Junior class challenging the Senior boys to a game. This was gladly accepted but when the appointed time
arrived the Juniors were conspicuous by their absence. It is rumored that they started but when they saw the
enemy in all its strength they turned and fled.—Manistee News.
* • *
Traverse City, Mich., Oct., 11,—(Special)—Great preparations were made by the Senior Class for Field
Day but alas—"The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley." Just after the crowd arrived the storm,
�which had been threatening all day, burst forth, and most of those who could carry themselves and the added
weight of the adhesive soil, wended their way homeward.—Detroit Tribune.
* •*
Traverse City, Mich., Dec. 24,—(Special)—The Senior Class enjoyed their first class sleigh ride last
night and this morning. They went to Acme where the girls served a delicious supper in the hall, which was
followed by entertainment furnished by members of the class. Some excitement was caused on the way by the
attempt of the horses to keep up with Louis Birdsall while he was being chased towards Acme by one small
dog. The fine morning proved too great a Omptation and the ride home was longer by three or four miles
than it was supposed to be.—Ypsilanti News.
* •*
Traverse City, Mich., Jan. 0,—(Special)—The Faculty were surprised this morning to see a '02 flag
floating from the flag staff. The class is certainly making a record for its self.—Charlevoix Tribune.
* •*
Traverse City, Mich, Jan. 7,—(Special)—The assistant janitor attempted to remove the Senior's flag, but
those who hoisted it seem to have a genius for tying knots.—Cadillac Globe.
* •*
Traverse City, Mich., Jan. 8,—(Special)—This morning the janitor was still on the roof and his friends
feared •lie would have to remain for a day or two; but this afternoon he succeeded in removing the flag of
•Naughty Two."—Cadillac Globe.
�Traverse City, Mich.. Jan. 21, - (Special)—The Joy of the Seniors over the close of examinations found
v(-nt in a sleighride to Bingham last night. This event is wrapped in mystery. as those who went refuse to say
anything whatever on the subject.—,Suttons Bay Bazzoo.
* *
Traverse City, Mich., Mar. 28,—(Special)—The girls of the Senior Class conducted a bazaar at the Central building yesterday afternoon and today. They have mefwith great success and the boys of the class can
no longer claim the credit of raising all the money for the "Annual."—Detroit Free Press.

�„n Monday evening. December
SENIOR SLEIGH-RIDE NO. 1 t)
twenty-third. the Seniors went on a sleighride to Acme. They chartered
the town hall and the boys soon had a roaring fire burning. As soon as
they had become somewhat thawed out after their haig ride. the girls prepared the supper. the 1}()ys adding a few dainties such as saur-krant. limburger cheese. and crackers.
When every 01w had eaten all that 1w could comfortably hold.
and some more. Louis BinNall was asked to respond to 'the Joast
Our Girls.” Glowing tributes Were paid to the younng ladies. showing.
how very little he knew about the subject. Orpha Cressy was then asked
to respaal to the toast. -Our Boys.' which she (lid to the best of her
ability.
Claude Carter the] arranged an impromptu program requiring every
one present to contribute to the evening's entertainment. While this was
�in progress, some of the, more adventuresome young inen hid the sleigh. which caused quite a little consternation among the young ladies: however it was soon recovered. and the miscreants escaped punishment.
The program consisted of a recitation. ••How Bet,-;ey and I Killed the bear.- by Roy Scofield: ••Mary's
Lamb.- by Nita Bugbee; a ghost story. ••It Floats.- by Flog- Walsh. told in the most awe inspiring manner: a
solo. "Now I am Sorry,'' by Louis Birdsall: the latest fancy steps. ••Ach du Lieber Augustine,'' by Addie Soles
and Nita Bughee: and, ••Sparkin' Down East." and. -Mumford's Pavement,- by Orpha Cressy.
Just before the party broke up. two flashlights were taken by Irving Murray. On the way home, the
ii()ys sang such appropriate songs as, -Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.'' -Blest be the Tie that Binds." and,
I [is Aria is Strong to Rescue.- They also sang Page 50.
When everybody finally reached home. "The wee SEIM . hours were not so sum as they had been.- Vet,
-All's well that ends well."
QUEEN ESTHER—Perhaps the most interesting as well as the most profitable entertainment undertaken by the class of 1902 was the presentation of the beautiful biblical story of Queen Esther in the form of a
cantata, given by an excellent cast of characters, assisted by the High School Chorus. It was presented to a
large audience in Steinberg's Grand Opera House, December 12. and was repeated by special request December.
13th.
The pmluction was under the direction of Mrs. Adelaide Dayton assisted by Mr. Francis Russell of Mt.
Pleasant. Mrs. White had charge of a chorus of Jewish boys. and Miss Paton a chorus of small girls. Stewart and Steffen's Orchestra furnished the music.
The folhwin , is the cast of characters:

High Priest

As an entertainment the production was a complete success, and many of the participants deserve special
mention. The part of queen by Mrs. Dayton was exceptionally well rendered in spite of the fact that she was
compelled to take the part on short notice, owing to the illness of Miss Alice Roberts. Mr. Russell's part
was also very commendable. Mrs. Rowley and Mr. Haslett acquitted themselves in their usual pleasing manner, Mrs. Rowley's being especially impressive. The work of Dr. Holliday and Miss Hastings was also very
fine. Other parts which were equally pleasing were the choruses of the little boys and girls, Mr. Pennington's
solo, and the songs by little Margaret Holliday.
U rent credit is due to the efficient work of the High School Chorus, and Stewart & Steffen's Orchestra.
In a large measure the success of the Cantata was due to the persistent efforts of Mrs. Dayton and the
class committee, who with the help and support of energetic workers, directed the Cantata to a financial and
social success.
�SENIOR SLEIGH-RIDE NO. II.--On Monday evening, January twentieth, the Seniors went on
another of their enjoyable sleigh-rides, this time to Bingham. As the night was stormy and some of the more
conscientious did not wish to neglect their lessons for the next day, only about half of the class was present.
Upon the arrival at the Bingham Hall, the boys found something extremely interesting down stairs, and
left the girls to amuse themselves as best they might. After suffering untold miseries from "ennui" the girls
finally persuaded the boys to return.
Supper, which was eaten in true picnic fashion, was then disposed of, and some very lively games were
indulged in until midnight, when the tired and sleepy party started for home.
While on the way, sonic of the girls had a rather exciting time, as was evidenced by such remarks as,
-Now Floyd you mustn't, that's naughty," and, "Why, I think - you are just awful."
They finally reached home in safety, however, and that day in chemistry class, when nearly every one
"flunked," and two or three actually dozed, Mr. Krenerick generously maintained silence.
SENIOR CLASS CONCERT—On Friday evening, February twenty-first, Stewart & Steffens' Orchestra
gave a concert under the auspices of the Senior Class, for the benefit of the Annual fund. Because of the many
other attractions in the city on that evening, the concert did not receive the patronage which it deserved.

The fields with daisies gleam:
soft wandering breezes come and go,
Or in the meadows dream.
The world is sweet, with lingering feet
We fain would wander still,
Where sped youth's happy hours so fleet.
And young life had its will.
-But hark the call, "Heave-ho! heave-ho!
Up anchor and away.
Beyond the harbor's shelt'ring bar,
Beyond the placid bay."
Above our heads the sky is blue,
The wind is blowing free.
The mystic isles gleam fair and bright.
Far out—far out at sea.
REFRAIN
The mystic isles where fortune smiles
Through golden mist clouds fair.
That hide from sight the wondrous light
We know is surely there.
The light that fills our souls and thrills.
Unseen though it may be;
rn !mot stay, we must away,
Beyond the unknown sea..
REFRAIN-
Oh! hark the call, "Heave-ho heave-ho!
Up anchor and away.
Beyond the harbor's shelt'ring bar.
Beyond the placid bay."
Above our heads the sky is blue.
The wind is blowing free,
The mystic isles gleam fair and bright.
Far out—far out at sea.
�There's stress and strain upon the main,
There's tempest, toil and wrack:
But courage, comrades, once again
Fair peace we'll welcome back.
From out the gales, we'll furl our sails
Beside the mystic isles:
Oh! youth was sweet, but grand, complete.
The future stands•and smiles.
REFRAIN -
hark the call, "Heave-ho! heave-ho!
1'p anchor and away.
Beyond the harbor's shelfring bar.
Beyond the placid bay...
Above our heads the sky is blue,
The wind is blowing free,
The mystic isles gleam fair and bright.
Far ont far out at sea.

�THE FIRST BOOK OF CHARLES II.
CHAPTER I.
1. And it came to pass in the second year of the reign of Charles II., that the little band of Seniorites.
belonging to the tribe called the Naughty Onedes held a memorable council meeting.
2. It being the season of the year when all nature was awakening to life and motion, the Seniorites.
catching the spirit of the times, became filled with exceeding unrest, and a desire to give vent to their long suppressed emotions in some new and strange manlier.
:3. So, therefore, on this particular occasion there was great anxiety among them all which led to many
differences of opinion and much clamoring of tongues before it was finally agreed upon as to what course should
be pursued.
4. But, albeit, each person was determined to have a voice in the matter and was vainly striving to make
himself heard above the din created by his neighbOrs.
5. There was great commotion and the sound of their voices was heard afar off, mingled with the noise
of the leader as he destroyed volume after volume by beating it loudly upon the side of the desk in a fruitless
attempt to reduce the band to subjection.
(3. Suddenly there appeared a great calm; and a hush fell upon all the people as there arose in their
midst, a meek but solemn prophet who reasoned after this wise saying:
7. Since ye cannot agree as to what ye shall do. I have a plan which I shall make known unto you.
8. Now there is, by the village of Keystone. a stream which yieldeth up fish in abundance, and there-
�fore. verily, verily. 1 say unto you. let us arise early upon the morning of the first day of May and betake ourselves there unto.
9. This saying made all the Seniorites exceedingly glial. But they tarried not long to express their
delight, knowing that the matter must be kept secret from the Elders for fear of incurring their displeasure.
10. But they hoped to appease the wrath of the Elders by bidding them to a banquet prepared in their
honor upon the return of the host.
CHAPTER II.
L Now it came about that Charles II. fell ill and Edward I. reigned in his stead.
2. And Edward I. being opposed to the plan of the Seniorites. did summon privately the chief, together
with several others of the tribe and expostulated with them.
3. Now the Seniorites who did greatly reverence Edward I., were very ready to grant his request. And
had it not been for the threats of some of the other Sovereigns would gladly have done so.
4. But many of the other Rulers were much displeased, and on the day before the Seniorites were to
make their escape did set laborious tasks before them for the following one, and charged them strictly not to
absent themselves upon that day or they should never be allowed to pass forth from thence.
5. Now this saying of the Elders provoked the Seniorites to anger, but, nevertheless, they were wholly
undaunted by it. They held another council and agreed together that they would assemble as usual on the
morning of the First day of May to complete the tasks set for them and go upon the day next following.
6. So therefore, upon the morning of the appointed day, each Seniorite was found in his accustomed
place. And many did array themselves in sombre garb and look exceedingly sorrowful.
7. Moreover, the Elders rejoiced that the Seniorites remained.
�CHAPTER III.
1. Now on the morn of the Second day of May, the Seniorites arose very early. even before it was yet
day. But they took not their departure from the city until about the sixth hour.
2. And as they passed through the streets they made a joyful noise before them. Their glad shouts
mingled with thrilling blasts from the trumpets, rang throughout the air until many people came forth from
their dwellings in great consternation, and stood amazed to witness the passing of the host.
3. Thither they journeyed, after this same manner, till they came to the stream whereof the prophet.
had spoken unto them.
4. Then they forthwith, proceeded to cast their nets and to practice that noble virtue, patience. sacred
only to fisherman, while awaiting the result of their labors.
5 What success crowned their efforts they promised to reveal unto no living person, though many
could exhibit exceeding large specimens of a peculiar variety, known as "German Brown Trout."
(-1. And now the sun had risen high amidst the Heavens; and the fishermen being very weary withall
and filled with exceeding hunger, resolved to rest for a time and refresh themselves with the contents of the
baskets which they carried.
7. After they had partaken of this food they betook themselyes to another place called by the name of
Slights Siding. Here they sojourned for awhile, and spent much time in merrymaking, yea even till the sun
was low, when they turned their weary footsteps to their own land.
8. While pursuing the journey homeward, they lingered long upon the way that they might fully enjoy
and appreciate the beauty of the scenes about them; and often, as the steeds halted to rest, alighted from the
chariots and journeyed for some time on foot.
�9, When they were again safely sheltered within the walls of their own city, each bade farewell to the
other and departed to his own dwelling to meditate upon the pleasures of the day and make ready for the morrow when all should meet again.
CHAPTER IV.
1. On the morrow when the Seniorites returned, they found Edward I. and all his host exceeding wroth.
2. And Edward I. did summon the Seniorites, one and all, into a secret chamber where he exhorted them
after this manner saying:
3. "Well ye know that I most stearnly forbade ye to depart from these dominions and now by your own
acts ye have called down my vengeance upon you. There yet remains but one thing to be done, and that—to
bow down yourselves and ask forgiveness for this great wrong which ye have done unto me."
4. For a time deep silence reigned among thema when suddenly their tongues became loosed and they
began to inquire of him after what manner this atonement should be made.
5. He answered them, saying that at this time he was. not yet prepared to explain unto them how it
should be done.
6. Then many of the Seniorites who were very sorrowful to think that they had so grieved Edward I.
proceeded to express their feelings to him.
7. With these apologies he was not content, but saidst that he deemed it very necessary for them to
beseech pardon before all the people.
8. This many of them were unwilling to do, and after they had discussed the matter at length he allowed
them to depart, with the hope of receiving their final decision upon the morrow.
9. In this he was doomed to disappointment, and, being mightily angered at their obstinacy, he secretly
�enlisted in his behalf the sympathy of the chief magistrate, together with the other high officials of the court.
10. And they sent forth unto him a decree proclaiming the punishment which would be visited upon
the. wicked Seniorites should they still persist in their evil ways.
11. In the meantime the news had been heralded abroad that the Seniorites had fled, and upon returning were compelled to bow low before their rulers and humbly entreat forgiveness of them.
12. This false report exceedingly angered the Seniorites and made them more unwilling than ever to
make any atonement for their deed.
13. When they next assembled themselves together they were straightway brought before Edward I. to
render unto him their final decision, which was still the same as it hitherto had been, namely, that they could
not and would not make any atonement for their deed, as they failed to see wherein they had committed such
unpardonable sins.
14. And they inquired of him what should be dOne with them if they did not do as he desired.
15. Then Edward I., mightily enraged, spake unto them, saying:
16. "By persistently refusing to obey my command, ye compel me to read this parchment which I hold."
17. And he then proceeded to make known unto them the decree he had received, and which read thus:
18. "Whosovever shall not bow down himself to obey the will of Edward I. shall have no part or lot in
this kingdom, but shall be compelled to depart from it until such time as he can comply with the requirements
of the command sent forth."
19. After delivering this message unto them Edward I. went out from the presence of the Seniorites,
leaving them to themselves for a little time to meditate upon what they had heard and charging them to report
unto him the result.
�20. And in the meantime he summoned into his presence the chief magistrate and one of the other high
officials, who, as soon as the Seniorites made their appearance, did also undertake to reason with them and spew
them the error of their ways.
21. But it was all to no avail. Though two of their number had submitted and had already regained
favor in the king' sight, the others still refused to do so.
22. The decision that the Seniorites had rendered seemed as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and
the Persians: and the command of Edward I. was likewise the same.
23. So after having wisely reasoned and pled with them until his patience was completely exhausted
and he could control himself no longer. Edward I. exclaimed: "Ye have heard what path been decreed and yet
ye will not submit to my authority, so. therefore, depart from me ye workers of iniquity. I will have no more
dealings with you until such time as ye can see fit to sufficiently humble yourselves to obey the command which
I have given unto you.24. After hearing these words the Seniorites were permitted to go forth from the presence of Edward I.
and his counsellors, and quickly gathering together their few belongings they went on their way rejoicing.
CHAPTER V.
For
a.
time
the
Seniorites
were
overjoyed
at the thought of being free, but soon, however, they began
1.
to sigh for the daily tasks to which they had so long been accustomed.
2. And it came to pass, while they were thus alienated from the kingdom, that they held many councils
among themselves and endeavored to resolve upon what they should do if they did not become reconciled with
Edward I.. though they still remained steadfast in the decision made.
3. When suddenly there came to the rescue a "gocd Samaritan." who, having suffered likewise, was
�thereby better fitted to "bind up their wounds.4. And this he straightway proceeded to do by placing in their hands a parchment which contained
simply a clearly worded, frank expression of the sentiments of the Seniorites, but which he believed could not
fail to satisfy the demand of Edward I.
5. But now it came about that Charles II. had somewhat recovered from his long continued illness and
desired to have the difficulty between Edward I. and the Seniorites happily adjusted at once.
6. And he therefore summoned to his place of abode the remaining Seniorites in company with Edward
I. with the hope of bringing about the desired reconciliation.
7. So at eventide all of them assembled according to his request. Here other fierce disputes arose and they
all tarried an exceeding long time, yea. even till past the midnight hour, when a compromise was finally effected.
8. Edward I. agreed to part of the ideas set forth in the
i1/1
4
parchment held by the Seniorites and they in turn accepted a
/ 6/
part of his.
9. So thus the strife was ended and the Seniorites were
all exceeding glad.
10. On the morrow they all returned to the kingdom and
were again restored into favor, and there was great rejoicing
throughout all the land.
11. Though many difficulties continually beset their
pathway, the Seniorites ran with patience the race that was set
before them and found that -labor bath its sure reward.-

��JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY.
ETHEL SAVAGE
The Junior Class of 1902 entered the High School about one hundred strong. The usual in ktakes were
made during the first few weeks, but like our predecessors we soon became accustomed to the strange environment; so that when we became Sophomores we felt perfectly at home.
As had been customary in previous years. we carried on the work of the Junior Lyceum, giving to the
public the usual number of interesting and instructive programs. The earnestness with which we entered
into the work and the benefit we reaped has been clearly demonstrated by the active part we have taken in the
Senior Lyceum of the present year.
When we entered upon our Junior work in September our members had diminished to about fifty. In
February a meeting was called for the purpose of organization. This resulted in the choice of Arthur Wells
for President: Earl Adams, Vice President; Della Gillett, Secretary. and Mae Coveney, Treasurer. In March a
second meeting was called and committees were appointed to choose our class colors and yell. They selected
bottle green and old rose for our colors and the following class yell.
"Rickety. Rackety.

�SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY.
LEON STEINBERG.
Sophomores! How strange that word sounded when we first realized that we were tenth-graders. A few
years ago we had looked upon the tenth-grader as one who had nearly perfected his education, but now --how
different! Instead of thinking our education almost completed. we understand that it is just beginning.
In the lower grades we had been (just as the •Juniors and Seniors before us) an unruly, mischievous set
of girls and boys, always indulging in those pranks which teachers do so detest. After graduating from the
eighth grade all our thoughts were centered on our first entrance into the High School. We im a git►ed ever su
many peculiar things would occur. but, upon con► int into the High School rooms for the first time. we were
completely bewildered and everything differed from what we had expected.
Although very much embarrassed and perplexed the first morning, within a few days. having become accustomed to the new ways, we entered upon a course of hard study intermingled with boyish pranks. Our first
year's work in the High School was far more pleasing and interesting than all the grade work, and upon entering
the tenth grade we did so with a higher and better view of life. and with a resolution that it should be our banner year. Since we have had no Junior Lyceum or other special work, more time was found for study. and consequently better recitations have been made.
In the early part of the second semester, the Seniors kindly requested us to organize and elect officers, so that
a class picture might be taken, and other things done for the benefit of the Annual, which the twelfth-grade were
endeavoring to publish. Of course the sophomores were willing to do anything to oblige the noble Seniors, and
therefore a meeting was called one night after school and officers elected. Nothing further however was done at
�that meeting, but we hope at the next one to select a class yell, motto, colors and other things of equal importance.
The work so far this year has indeed been very gratifying to us, and, knowing that our schooldays are the
happiest period of all our life, we pledge to strive for the realization of the highest attainment both individually
and as a class.
It can be truly said that the desire and ambition of every sophomore of Nineteen Hundred Two is to graduate from the Traverse City High School with honor and by earnest endeavor rise to a prominent place in the
world where they can. by filling positions of trust in later life. reflect credit upon our dear, old High School.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY.
OLIVE LACKEY.
Last year we eighth graders looked forward with great anticipations to the time when we should become
High School students.
We began practicing for our eighth grade exercises soon after the spring vacation; and when these were
given in the High School Assembly room under the directions of Prof: Horst and Mrs. Dayton, we began to
think ourselves a part of the High School.
But it was not as we expected when on the first morning we were called "Freshies" by those who had been
there before; and on entering Chapel for the first time we were clapped and laughed at our insignificimee was
made complete.
About one hundred students entered the High School at the beginning of the year as ninth graders.
Most of us came from the ward schools of the city, but some from the country and surrounding villages.
It was with great confusion that we arranged our classes and study hours for ourselves. The many rooms
and teachers did not tend to lessen this state of affairs. As a result we were seen at all hours of the day, wandering through the halls or entering some Senior class-room only to withdraw in amazement and enter some
other. But at last we became masters of the situation.
We were about equally divided among the six courses of study. Most of us have kept up well in our work
while a few on account of sickness or other hinderances have been absent and so dropped behind.
We have been called upon to contribute our share towards the 1902 Annual. We have readily responded,
feeling that we may sometime wish the assistance of other classes. Though it is but little, it makes us feel our
kinship with the High School and realize that, though we have not been here long, it will be only a few short
months until we too, will be entering larger. broader fields of labor.

�THE " 0 0."
ROBERT E. WALTER.
It may have been the taste of gypsy life which thy got in the winter of 1899-1900 when participating in
the gypsy encampment given for two nights in the City Opera House to help provide funds for the Traverse
suggestion to camp at
City High School's first Annual that made the class of 1900 take up so readily with
Edgewood last summer. Class interest and class friendship has always been strong with "00," however, and
when in their senior year they voted to have a class reunion in 1905 when all should make a special effort to be
present. and all are looking forward to a very enjoyable time then. But the word was passed around. "Must we
wait until 1905 before having a class reunion?" and the general reply was "No." and "Let's camp out this summer.
So after a preliminary meeting or two to decide the time and place, make up lists of supplies needed,
provide for dishes, etc., a certain Saturday moniing in June saw Smith, Hubbell, Walton, Snushall and Joe
Russky starting out of town as though to emigrate to the west. They went east and north however, and halted
at Edgewood near Sunset Cottage. where in a pleasant grove near the bay, of which Miss E. Pauline Johnson,
the Indian Princess of the Lecture Course left us such a gent in "Traverse Bay," and on the "dear old Traverse
shore" of our class song written by our beloved Mrs. M. K. Buck, the shores associated with such happy memories for us all, they pitched their tents. One for Prof. M. A. Cobb and wife, who were to act as chaperones, a
large one for the girls, and one for the boys, while a tent for the eatables and a large "fly" over the improvised
table made a small "white city... which looked very pretty among the trees and in the glimmering moonlight.
There were glorious sunsets which were enjoyed to the full. One vantage point with its rustic seat
�which seemed quite popular, was named "Sunset Nook." When evening came the bright camp fire lit up the
scene and shone out over the bay. hurrying those who must work daytimes and were on their way to camp.
The first evening was enlivened somewhat by the arrival of a load of Lincolnites, out on a pleasure jaunt,
who attempted to carry off one of the class, a member of their society. They were compelled to retreat, however, and some of them bore the marks of battle. Had they returned later they might have had a reception not
entirely impromptu.
When the shades of night had gathered round and it was time to sleep, trouble began in the boys tent.
The girls seemed to get along nicely; after chatting a little while and singing a few songs they were in dreamland. Proximity to the chaperones' tent may have assisted them somewhat. Not so with the lxtys however.
Sonie must needs show their athletic powers. and such songsters as were present! When these were quieted
however, troubles (lid not cease. The mutterings of Joe and Hiram Russky, with their attempted sales of
Steinberg's dry goods and &milli's hats, and the hoarse "gettups" of Hubbell, who was then driving a delivery
wagon for a local firm, compelled taking to the hammock or seeking rest in true gypsy style, rolltAl up in a
blanket, with some brush for a pillow and the blue sky for a tent—if you could get the blanket. for the two
young men mentioned didn't want their stock lessened.
Boats had been procured and there was boating, and bathing in the cool waters of the bay, There was
sailing too, and in some rather rough seas. If the girls do as well on the "ocean of life"---face its seas
with as much calmness and courage, and are as brave in all the exigences of the voyage—they will deserve, and
undoubtedly achieve success.
There were athletic sports, running and jumping and ball playing; morning spins were indulged in, and
Snushall's horse, alarmed by the cries of the gathering crows, showed' itself still the possessor of considerable
�vitality by the merry chase it gave the boys on its run to town, thereby breaking all records for wheels and
horses between Edgewood and the city.
Exploring parties searched the shores and neighboring woods for specimens of rock and wild flowers. In
their rambles two of the girls discovered, high on a hill, a strawberry patch where the luscious fruit was spoiling on the vines. 'Twas then, if it had not been accomplished before, and there is truth in the old adage, that
the boys* hearts were won, for we had some delicious short cakes, made by the girls and baked in the camp
stove.
A "white collar Edict" was enforced to the discomfiture of a number including Montague and Novotny,
and as a result of the afore mentioned edict Walton took a swim and Snushall did not come out much better.
The class of '01" was entertained one evening when the camp fire and a marsh mallow roast, together
with boat rides etc. made the evening pass pleasantly and quickly. (The fish wouldn't bite that day or they
would have been served some of the finny tribe). Senator and Mrs. Milliken were also present and brought
with them some water melons, the first of the season, which were much enjoyed. (They are invited to come
again).
Twenty-three were present all or a part of the time that we were camping. Tho' but a little more than a
year had passed since graduation, death had entered our class circle and George Chase, who had been studying
at the University, came home to his family and classmates, unable to speak with them again here, and preceded
us to the Great Beyond. This leaves fifteen boys and fifteen girls in the class. One has gone and we are
bound the closer by class ties. We begin to value our class friendships and to realize how happy were our
school days, and that the stern realities of life come all soon enough. We are interested in each other and in
our Alma Mater, and shall continue to be.
We wish 1902 the success she deserves in her commendable effort to continue the publication of the
Annual. If 1900 camps out this year you will be welcome.
�MR. HORNS RIDE.
The numerous friends of Supt. C. H. Horn throughout the city were happily surprised as well as much
rejoiced, on Friday evening, April 25th, at the announcement in one of the local daily papers that he had lase►►
elected to a splendid position in Iowa College. Mr. Horn had been summoned to Chicago on the previous day
to confer with the authorities of the institution and it was while there that he received his election.
When Monday morning came, the young men of the High School were anxious to demonstrate in some
forcible manner their regard for Mr. Horn and their appreciation of his good fortune. Accordingly they planned to meet him on his arrival upon the afternoon train. But Mr. Horn stole a march on his friends and entered town earlier than he was expected. Nothing daunted by their disappointment, during the noon hour. the
boys secured a carriage which they gorgeously decorated with the High School colors. At 12;50 they drew
this equipage before the residence of Supt. Horn. Hastily summoning him to the street the boys quickly instated him in the coach with its many steeds and proceeded to give him such a ride through the si wets of
the city as seldom falls to the lot of any maa► to take.
Rapidly down Seventh street through a gauntlett of young ladies of the High School the vociferous
"Steeds" proceeded with their charge. 'North on Union, east on Front, south on Park, west on Washington.
south on Union, west on Eighth, north on Union and west on Seventh to the School building where a brief
speech was given by Supt. Horn. This speech was frequently punctuated with the high school yell. After removing the perspiration from their "ruddy" faces, the boys went to their class work with a vengeance and were
able to complete their usual duties by 3:30 at which time they were dismissed, all newspaper reports to the contrary notwithstanding. This incident was closed by a happy little speech by Mr. Horn at chapel the following
morning amid most enthusiastic demonstrations from the HighSchool body.

�"PAT" THACKER ON CHEMISTRY.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a study !It of the High School, of a frc,
and unfettered nation, to pursue the study of Chemistry it is time for action.
This nation cries out in protest from the doors of the Mexican habitations unto the northernmost
threshold of a Maine hencoop.
In this era of refinement and culture, this age of prosperity and politics, nothing so nearly approaches
the unparalled martyrdom of the 13th. Century, as the inexplicable suffering of a student posing for his first
Chemistry examination.
Much has been said and unsaid of the barbarous Spanish bull fights and the ignominious practice of
cock fighting: but it is well, indeed, that the monstrocities carried on in the chemical laboratories never leak
out into the public ear.
But such is life that those who are bound by the steeled chains of fate are forever shut off from their
more fortunate mortals and are hardly ever, if at all, extended the tattered ray of sympathy.
"Build thee more stately mansions, 0! my soul.
As the Chemistry experiments about me roll."
or
"Lead, kindly light, amid the laboratory din.
It was not ever thus; but pray that thou shouldst lead me on."
���THE SENIOR-FACULTY BASE BALL GAME.
The one event of the season in High School athletics was the Senior-Faculty Base Ball game.
The first person to suggest such a trial of skill, was Prof. Horn, who thought that since the members of
the faculty knew more about Algebra or History than the students did, they might also teach them something
about the art of tossing a ball. The seniors were not slow in grasping at the chance to prove their superiority
along this line. As there were only five male members in the faculty, the "boys" magnanimously allowed Mr.
Ryder to choose by lot enough Senior boys to fill out their quota of nine. Mr. Needham was called to keep
score. The faculty did not consider the students learned enough to keep track of the tallies which they expected
to run in.
The game was called on Friday afternoon after the close of school, since the teachers would require as
many (lays as possible for rest before returning to their labor of training the young minds. That it was a great
event was evidenced by the large crowd collected at the grounds long before the time for the commencement of
the game. The Profs. were enthusiastically cheered when they appeared in clothes suited to the needs of the
ga me.
Seniors at bat and Faculty in the field was the first thing on the program. and then the ball began rolling. The greatest danger which the hatters encountered was death at the hands, or rather from the curves, of
Pitcher Krenerick, who tried to pilot the ball past the batter into the hands of Cat dier Horn: but many times
the bat got in the way, so often, in fact, that at the beginning of the third inning Boyer went into the box,
where he was also punished.
Of course the game was not all favorable for the Seniors, as the Faculty did a few things to the ball when
it was their turn to wield the stick. The base running of Mr. Dumbrille added greatly to the excitement, and
�it will long be remembered as one of the finest exhibitions of speed ever shown on the local diamond. But the
day was ill-fated for the teachers, and the score resulted 9 to 7 in favor of the "boys.BATTERIES :

�FIELD DAY--FALL 1901.
As it is necessary to 11;1 V(' money to publish an Annual, the Senior Class decided to hold a "Field Day,"
the contestants in the various cv(uts being High School students. The "Field Day" was held one Friday afternoon, school closing early for the benefit of those taking part in the contests and those of the High School
wishing to attend.
The events and winners were as follows: 20 yard dash, Ed Boyer; pole vault, Herbert Somers, 7 ft.
40 yard dash, Ed Boyer; running broad jump, James Milliken, 17 ft.; running high jump, Ed Boyer; 4 ft.
5 in.; 100 yard run, Ed Boyer; Girls' race, Barbara Corbett.
Following these events was the football game between the First and Second teams. The game was commenced and play continued until the First team had scored 7 points, when a rain set in. Though this caused a
rather abrupt conclusion of the scheduled events of the day, it did not interfere with the attraction carried on
near the back fence, which was in the nature of a "scrap" between two small boys, or, to use the dignified
language expected of Seniors, they were engaged in a disgraceful encounter with fists.
This display of skill and muscle concluded the day's contests, but in the spring another "Field Day"
was held, the chief attraction of which was the second Senior-Faculty base ball game.

FOOTBALL. 4 4
It is probable that '01 had the best material for a football team the High School has ever possessed.
The boys began the season early, and by some hard practice games against the second and third teams, and the
earnest work of the coach, soon had themselves in excellent condition.
Letters were written to the neighboring High Schools asking for games, but at this time teams had not
been organized and it was unfortunate for the Traverse City team that they secured their first game with the
Northern Michigan Asylum on the 12th street grounds. On Oct. 5th the light High School team lined up
against the heavy weights of the Asylum. A large crowd was present to witness the game. and one could read
in their anxious faces predictions of inevitable defeat for the H. S. Such were the feelings aroused when the
�spectators beheld the N. M. A. with their 180 lb. average and four men on the line that weighed Over MOO lbs.
pitted against the High School with an average of 130 lbs. The N. M. A. kicked off to the H. S. au►d the ball

would be carrying thee► down the field. This could not continue long since the N. M. A. would soon gain
possession of the ball again. They began to send their heavy mass plays against the light High tiehool line,
but to no avail: the quick backs of the H. S. gave them no chance to get started around the end. The game
proceeded with the ball changing hands a number of times, but at the close of the second half, the ball was on
the Asylum's five yard line.
This game greatly aroused football enthusiasm in the High School. and also among citizens who are
lovers of the sport. It also revealed the weak points of the team. With their experience fresh in mind, a few
nights of practice put the boys in better condition than they were before for a struggle upon the gridiron.
The N. M. A. too, were indulging in some hard practice with the expectation of visiting revenge upon the H. S.
boys. The opportunity presented itself on Oct. 16 at 12th street park. The N. M. A. with their heavy weights.
confident of victory, again ►net the H. S. team, which possessed the quickness and science so essential to good
foot-ball. The spectators. as they saw the teams lined up for the struggle. made the same predictions as at
the former game. but after ten minutes of fine playing, the High School secured their first touch down of the
season. Goal was kicked making the score 6 to 0. During the remainder of the half the ball changed hands a
number of times, but to the advantage of neither team. In the beginning of the second half, the heavy mass plays
of the N. M. A. began to tell on the light H. S. line, and the Asylum slowly carried the boys down the field
until they reached the four yard line. Here the H. S. made a final stand, and the N. M. A. could go no further.
The ball went over to the H. S. on downs. and they punted from behind their own goal. thus placing it out of
�danger. The N. NI. A. again gradually carried the ball down the field. although at every yard they were meeting with strong opposition. At last the N. Nl. A. had the ball one foot front the High School's goal line.
llere it was that the 11. S. made its last desperate resistance. and played the best foot-hall of the soason: twice
the Asylums hurled their heavy line smasher against the H. S. line. but they were as readily hurled back. But
on the last down, the N. NI. A, scored a touch clown. The goal was missed and the gain" ended with the H. S.

This ga
weeks, lent owing to peenliar circumstances they were obliged to play Kalkaska at that place on the following
Friday. This game. interesting and exciting throughout. would have been an easy victory but for the exhausted
eondition of the boys.
As 11 was neither side' scored.
(1
. n t1ci 271 a return game was secured with Kalkaska on the local gridiron. The' visitors upon their arrival ahom p. in. w ont at once to the 1:!th street Park. The Evening Record of that date gives the following
description of the game: lit two of the finest twenty minute halves ever played on the local gridiron. the H.
S. of this city administered to the Kalkaska city team a very decisive defeat by a score of 11 to O. beating them
to a standstill, and showing conclusively that the two teams do not belong to the same class. It is pretty hard
to say unpleasant things about a defeated team but sometimes it can scarcely be help.-1.
There was not the gal feeling and cleanness of play that characterized the recent .games between the H.
S. and the Asylum hen'. The game at Kalkaska a week ago produced considerable bitterne3s. and the playing
hen' was tine, accompanied with little or no slugging or fouling.
Kalkaska did not get the admiration of the crowd to any great extent: in fact they were tilt-fated to a
��great deal of roasting. especially near the close of the first half when they walked off the field on account of an
adverse decision of the referee.
In the first half Kalkaska kicked off and Boyer failed to catch but picked up the ball and made a fine
run half the length of the field, carrying the ball twenty yards past the center into Kalkaska's territory. The
ball soon went over but on the first pass White lost it for a big loss. Goss, Milliken, and Simms of the H. S.
had their arms wrapped around it, until no Kalkaska man could get within a yard of it.
Lederle made a big gain through tackle. then Boyer made a long end run, being stopped by Dean Lewis.
captain, and full back. The ball soon went over, however. and Lewis punted. making one of the prettiest kicks
ever seen here. Albert. getting the ball, made a good rim. but he was downed well into Traverse City's territory.
Then began a series of line bucks hi which Lederle, Milliken, Thacker. Boyer and Pound took turns in
carrying the ball until in five minutes the ball was within six yards of Kalkaska's goal.
Then Thacker went through the line for a big gain. but lost the ball and Boyer leaped the line, and fell
on the ball, clasping it in his arms, while at almost the same time, Upsal Hobbs of Kalkaska. got his hands on it.
The referee gave the ball to Traverse City. but it was so evident that there would be a touch down if the ball
remained in the hands of the local team that Kalkaska marched off the field, and refused to continue the game.
It was finally decided to let Kalkaska have the ball in order that the game might be continued and the crowd not
disappointed.
Kalkaska made no great gains, however. and the ball soon went over, but the time was so nearly up that
the half closed without a touch down.
In the second half it was apparent to all that it was all oft with Kalkaska. Thacker made a beautiful
kick oft and Lederle came down the field and downed the ball almost in the tracks of the man who caught it.
�~~~~

~ ;'
�Kalkaska gained scarcely a yard. and the ball went over. Boyer went around the end for a big gain that was
almost a touch down. Thacker was sent through the line twice for good gains. when Lederle smashed the line
for a touch down, scoring 5.
The ball was carried out. but Alberts failed on the try at goal. Kalkaska kicked off. and the H. S. began
the fiercest kind of line bucking and red-hot end runs. On a delayed pass, Thacker made a long run, and was
stopped by the crowd that had pushed across the lines. Lederle. Thacker. Milliken and Lederle was the way
the mass plays were led then with big gains through the line every time. Then Thacker went around the end
for a large gain.
Then came the climax of the game, Lederle was sent against Kalkaska's right tackle. He ploughed
through the line leaving a string of men behind him. Three Kalkaskans seized him but he twisted and struggled out of their grasp. Another struck him sideways, but he got away and made for the goal. A man struck
him from behind but failed to bring him down and Lederle went over the goal line and downed the ball right between the posts. Then he was carried about the field, the crowd joining in the High School yell that could have
been heard a mile away: Albert kicked goal, making the score 11 to 0 in faVor of the High School, and both
the half and the game were over.
After this game the team was in poor condition for any further games. but a date had already been secured with. Cadill ic for November 2.
Alt11c-ugh the local team was thus crippled, yet the game at Cadillac was one of the best of the season. It
was a hard fought contest, resulting in a victory for Cadillac of 5 to 0. Too much credit can not be given to the
Cadillac High School for their generous treatment of the visiting team. The game was won by good playing.
and it was a well earned victory.
��The last game of the season was with Cadillac on the local grounds. Intense interest was manifest as the
Thanksgiving game is always the banner game of the season. At last the day came. the grounds were in the
best of condition. The teams, as they faced one another for the contest, were evenly matched in every way. and
both entered into the ga► ue with a determination to win. Through the long twenty-five minute halves the teams
snuggled desperately. neither side gaining any advantage. Undoubtedly the home team was prevented front
scoring by the star punting of Cadillac. Many times they put their goal out of danger by those forty yard punts.
The visitors showed then► selves to be gentlemen in every way. and they played an earnest and straightforward
game.
The High school team of 1901 deserves much credit for the clean playing which characterized their games
for it is the feature which removes foot ball front the realm of the brutal and makes it a game fit for the p:► rticipation of gentlemen. The only unpleasant game of the season was the one with Kalkaska and this was expected
since_ the Kalkaska team, totally ignorant of the science of football, began the game with a mean spirit.
The High School team owes its success to three main reasons, namely: the support of the High School
faculty. the gentlemanly lot of players. and the earnest work of the coach, Walton Gray. To the latter too much
credit can not be given. His work has been much appreciated by the team.
By present indications the team of 1902 will be a strong one, for there is a large amount of good material
in the High School. and many of this year's team will return next year. Thus we have abundant reason for believing that the High School will be more loyal than ever to the black and gold.
Football was an exceedingly popular game in the Traverse City High School during the fall of 1901-2.
This was due largely to the presence of an unusually large number of boys who were interested in and adapted
to the game. The enthusiasm was so great that a second High School team was organized.
�This team had many practice games with the first team, and in the latter part of the season challenged the
first team to an exhibition game. The teams lined up on Nove:nlwr 21st at Twelfth street park. rte second team played a strong game, but the boys were no match for the first team. as the score of 28 to 0 shows.
This game, however, did not discourage the High School No. 2. for they secured at once a game with the
Cadillac High School team No. 2 at that place on November 30. The game there was very interesting and exciting throughout and ended with a score of 4 to 0 in favor of the Traverse City High School No. 2.
The line up of the second team was as follows:
Reno Colby. full back: Berne Reynolds, left half; Jack Corbett, right half; Ted Southard. quarter back.
Charles Ashton. right end; Cleon Champney, right tackle: Herbert Raymond, left tackle: Frank Grant. right
vuard: Earl Adams, left gmard: Carroll Hale. center.
�THE ALUMNI.
Nothing stands still; each year is an advance upon the one preceeding. Thus 1902 has brought its changes
even to the august body known as the Alumni. One of the interesting features is the fact that the class of '01
has been with us, rubbing against the ragged edges of experience, thereby gaining discipline for life's struggles.
even as we have done and are still doing. The question comes, has this constant friction served to polish us,
rounding our characters, or has it dwarfed and crushed. Each answers for himself.
And as I glance hastily over the names of graduates published in the Annual of 1900, a kinetoscope with
many changing views appears before me. I see college halls in which are busy students with hopes and ambitions lighting up their familiar faceS.
Now it is the office in which many are working steadily and unceasingly with prospects bright for the
future.
Again, I see the store; and here are varied scenes, for many different wares are sold by our busy alumni.
The school room claims its share of our members, and who can tell of the good these patient souls are
accomplishing.
Then there are the newspaper men and women, the ministers, artists, engineers and farmers, all doing
his or her best to reach a goal, or to make the world better or happier for their having lived.
And last, but by no means least, the home-keepers, wives and mothers, who are so truly fulfilling noble
missions in life.
In this hasty review, we find since '00's Annual, (we reckon time thus now), that Captain Cupid has
been pretty busy in our ranks. I count fifteen marriages: and be it whispered, for it is heard front Dame
Rumor, nearly as many engagements. Let next year's Alumni scribe confirm the report.
Three of our brightest and most promising members have been called to the beautiful home beyond.
They have completed earth's course; they are the Alumni from life's school.
�Now we are privileged to welcome into our midst the class of 1902. and we do welcome you most heartily.
Our interests have been the same. The dear old High School has sent us forth better equipped for life's duties.
There we formed friendships with teachers and pupils. which we realize are as true and lasting as any we form
afterward. Our members are scattered. but there are cords which will ever make us feel a fellowship for each
other.
So. 1902. may we reciprocate our experience for your enthusiasm and may our li ves echo Emerson's inspiring lines.
The sun set. but not his hope:
Stars rose; his faith was earlier up.

�GREETING
T HAS been the aim of the Senior class of 1907 to present a true picture
of our High school as it is today. In The Black and Gold, everything has been taken up in what we consider a systematic and
original way, that the public might gain from its pages a general
idea of what has been going on the last year in the various lines
of school work and in our athletics. We feel that not only the
High School but our class as well will be judged by this publication, but, gentle reader, allow for our inexperience, and, moreover,
do not form your estimate until you have read all. We have put
forth our best efforts to make it worthy of reading.
We have attemIttcd to make students of today laugh; tried to
awaken pleasant memories in the minds of past students; aimed
to arouse a true school spirit in students of tomorrow; and endeavored to show the public that Traverse City High school is up
with the best of them.
Success to the future editors of the Annual.

PRINCIPAL OF THE TRAVERSE CITY HIGH SCHOOL
Olte Lark aub anlb
IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED
�PRINCIPAL R. L. NYE
�MR. R. L. NYE
M
R. R. L. NYE was born in Dowagiac, Cass County, Mich. Most
of his early life, however, was spent on a farm at Bear Lake,
Manistee County. Ile answered the roll call in the district
school, working on the farm summers when old enough. After teaching
three terms in rural schools he entered the Ferris Institute at Big Rapids. After two years there and a year at Alma College, he taught in
the former institution for two years, and then spent two years at the U.
of AI, specializing in mathematics. He went from there to take charge
of the mathematics department in the High school at Battle Creek,
which position he held four years. In the fall of 1902 he accepted the
position which he now holds as principal of the High school of Traverse
City.
In the capacity of principal he has done much to merit praise. It has
been his aim to bring before the students such ideals, be they lives of great
men or simply noble thoughts, as would tend to develop character—indeed,
he has himself been the ideal of many. He places a great deal of stress on
that very important element of high school education, public speaking,
and, we venture to say, that no one has ever given better support to the
various school enterprises than has Mr. Nye. It is with pleasure that
we dedicate the Black and Gold to him.
��MR. I. B. GILBERT
R. I. B. GILBERT, superintendent of the public schools of our
city, was born July 5, 1870, at Memphis, Mich. His early youth
was spent on the farm of his father near Memphis. He attended
the public schools of that city, where he was a very diligent student.
After mastering the different branches of studies taught there, he engaged
in teaching. A few years later he took up a course at Olivet, from which
college he graduated in 1895, receiving his degree in natural science. The
next few months were spent in the Agricultural College of Michigan, pursuing the study of chemistry. Soon after, he entered Harvard, for the
summer term, and in the fall of the same year accepted a position as principal of the High school at St. Johns. He remained here one
year, when a more desirable place was offered him at Imlay City. After
two years he again moved, this time to Northville to remain but one year.
Returning to St. Johns the following year, he assumed the superintendent's position and held it for three years. At the end of this time Traverse City was in need of a superintendent, and Mr. Gilbert was asked to
fill the vacancy. In 1902 he took up his residence in Traverse City.
Under his supervision the schools have greatly advanced, until today, they
are among the best in the state.
In disposition Mr. Gilbert is genial and very approachable. Among
the pupils he is known as a man with a wonderful memory, especially
as regards names and dates. His broadminded and sterling views have
been displayed to a good advantage in the work which he has accomplished, and in the tact with which he has undertaken it. In future years,
as Mr. Gilbert follows the course of his profession, he will have only the
good will and respect of the scholars and teachers of Traverse City.

I SS Jessie Vivian, teacher of English in the
I I igh school, was born at Monroe, Michigan.
She is a graduate of the University of Michigan. During the four years she has spent here she
has proven herself a patient and faithful worker.
Miss Vivian is a person of mild and pleasant disposition and is a very interesting conversationalist.
One endearing trait in her character is her willingness to do for others. When trials beset us on every
hand in the publication of The Black and Gold, she
was ever a steadfast friend to whom we could go for
help and suggestions.
M
H. N. HORNBECK
It has been the aim of the board of education to
obtain as strong a teacher as possible for each position in the High school. They chose well when they
chose Prof. H. N. Hornbeck as head of our departments of chemistry and botany. Through his efforts
the department of chemistry has been well equipped
for experimental work, making it possible to substitute practical work for routine of the text book.
This same principle of experimental work, he ap-
plied to botany, maintaining that experience is the
best teacher.
Mr. Hornbeck was born in Newaygo county, Mich
igan. He graduated from M. A. C. in the spring
of 1904. In the fall of the same year he took the
position which he now so ably fills in our High
sch000l.
MARIE McLAUGHLIN
Miss Marie McLaughlin, whose home is near Martin, in Allegan county, came to. Traverse City in
March of the year 1888, fresh from Ypsilanti State
Normal. For two years she taught in the seventh
and eighth grades respectively, after which she entered the High school as teacher of mathematics,
which position she has ever since retained.
As a teacher of mathematics, Miss McLaughlin
holds her own with the best of them, and should she
at any time leave the school would be greatly missed.
Her long experience as a teacher is a proof of her
ability.
AGNES THOMPSON
Miss Agnes Thompson, in charge of the Latin
department, is one of the most efficient teachers in
the High school. She teaches, not only the Latin
�language, but also strives to give her pupils an idea
of the principles of the law and government, and the
family and religious customs of the Romans. Her
orderly and extremely interesting classes are a reflection of her strong personality.
Miss Thompson was born at Flowerfield, in the
southern part of Michigan. She attended school at
Constantine and after completing her High school
course there, entered Olivet. She graduated from
Olivet in the spring of 1903, and accepted the position of teacher of Latin here in the fall of the same
year.
HARLAN A. DAVIS
Professor Harlan A. Davis, instructor in Physics,
Physiology, Civics and Athletics, is a welcome addition to our faculty. He graduated from Olivet college in the spring of '06 and came here in the fall.
As a teacher he has established a reputation beyond reproach and as a foot-ball coach—well, just
ask the boys, and they will bell you how, by administering a rigid course of training, he produced a
team that suffered but one defeat during the whole
season. Mr. Davis possesses that remarkable personality which enables him to be one of the fellows
and yet command respect and attention in the classroom.
ALMA BROWN
Miss Alma Brown, who now teaches ninth and
tenth English and German in the High school, was
born near Bellevue, Michigan. Her early schooling
was obtained in the district school near her home.
After two years of successful teaching she entered
Olivet college, graduating in 1905.
In her zeal to prove worthy of her trust, Miss
Brown's health failed, making it necessary to take a
two month's rest. She returned after the spring
vacation. Her light-hearted, cheerful manner has
won her many friends, who wish her nothing but
sucePss in the future, whether here or elsewhere.
LAURETTA M. FERGUSON
One of our most popular teachers is Miss Lauretta M. Ferguson, instructor in English and Ancient
History. She came to the High school in January,
1906, and has since proven herself to be an excellent
and capable teachcer. She won the respect and
frindship of her pupils from the first by her bright
and interesting method of teaching.
She was born in the village of King, Province of
Ontario, Canada. Her parents moved to Michigan
where she obtained her early schooling. . She then
went to the Ypsilanti normal and from there to the
�University of Michigan, graduating in 1902. While
at college she specialized in History and English.
F. B. WILEY
Mr. Fordyce B. Wiley was born at Brighton,
Michigan. By perseverance and hard work, he earned his way through college. He spent four years
at Kalamazoo ,and graduated from there, June 20,
1906, with his B. S. During the summer of 1905
and 1906, he attended the University of Chicago,
where he obtained his second degree as Bachelor of
Science, Sept. 1, '06. In the fall of '06, he took a
position in our High school, as teacher of History
and English. He is one or the most prominent men
of the faculty. His has been a hard row to hoe. Few
are able to fathom the depths of his nature, but by
those, who have succeeded, lie is held as a man to be
trusted and honored.
H. J. RUGGLES
Mr. 14. J. Ruggles was born in Bronson, Michigan, where he attended the public schools. He entered the High school, but did not complete the course,
as he decided to take up work in the St. Mary's
business college of that place. He graduated from
St. Mary's and then entered the State Normal at
Ypsilanti. After studying here for some time he
transferred his work to the Cleary business college
of Ypsilanti, from which he graduated.
Mr. Ruggles is now completing his second year as
head of the Commerical department of the High
school. During these two years he has won the respect and esteem of the student body.
ROSE C. HESS
Mrs. Rose C. Hess was born in a pretty little
village in Van Rensaeler County, (now called Rensaeler County), New York. Her home was on the
river Hudson near the Catskill mountains and it was
in theme picturesque surroundings that she spent her
early life. She received her early education in Constantine, Michigan, graduating from the Thigh school
of that place in 1888. In 1898 she received the
Ph. B. degree from the University of Michigan.
Mrs. Hess is now completing her second successful
year of teaching the German language in Traverse
City High School.
�W
II0 IS it that has always been on tap
when school begun in the fall to make the
school house shipshape for business?
Who is it that keeps the lawn mowed and clean?
Who is it that keeps us warm in the cold, cold
winter?
Why, it's Mr. Harvey C. Curtis, our janitor. He
has and ever shall have the good will and best wishes of the naughty sevens.

�TRAVERSE CITY HIGH SCHOOL
�GROWTH OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BY JOSEPHINE DAVIS
T
IIE first school house in Traverse City, was
an old stable, on the corner of Front and
Wellington streets. At that time there
was no organized school district, so a teacher was
hired by subscription. The magnificent sum of one
dollar a week, finally raised to one dollar and a half,
was paid to the first teacher, Miss Helen Goodale.
In this first school there were twenty-one pupils who
were very enthusiastic over the idea of being educated. They studied geography, grammar, arithmetic and history. After this building was given up
the children assembled in the old boarding house
at the corner of Union and Bay streets.
On May 11, 1854, school district No. 1 was organized and in 1856 the first real school house was
erected at the present site of the Park Place hotel
annex. The growing demand for education, however, required another larger school.
A wooden
structure was built on the Central grounds in 1877
in which the first High school met.
In 1868-9 Traverse City had its first Principal,
Professor Young, who supervised all of the schools.
In 1873 Judge Roberts was chosen as principal and
filled the office for seven years, when S. G. Burkhead succeeded him and held the position until 1880.
For the next. thirteen years Professor Charles T.
Grawn was superintendent. After Professor Grawn
and preceeding Professor I. B. Gilbert, Professor
C. H. Horn was superintendent. Mr. Gilbert has
been here since 1902, during which time there has
�been great advancement of the schools in all directions.
Owing to the steadily increasing number of students, we now have five public schools, the Central,
dents and eleven teachers. In the grammar grades
the customary rudiments are taught and the general
academic and commercial courses are offered in the
High school, preparing students for college work.

BY ERNEST MILLER
HE day has come when we must part,
Good bye, Old School good bye.
A sadness fills each loyal heart,
Good bye, Old School, good bye,
For schoolmates dear, we leave good cheer„
We leave them with a sigh,
In every dream, they reign supreme,
Good bye, Old School, good bye,
In days to come we'll think of thee,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
Dear to our hearts you'll ever be,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
Those happy hours in mem'ries bowers,
Have quickly passed us by,—
Yet to them all, we'll e'er recall,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
The future greets us with a smile,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
And yet we long for you the while,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
Those days so rare, beyond compare;
We'll rev'rence ever high,
We will be true, always to you,
Good bye, Old School, good bye.
�CLASS HISTORY
BY ANNETTE LARDIE
A
MONG the many classes, which in different
lands and times have stepped forth from
their beloved schoolrooms to enter into the
world's great school, a few stand out so distinct, so
far above the rest, that they mark the eras in our
world's progress. By them we measure the growth
of our schools, by them we test the advance or decline in the school's work. So far above us do they
reach, that no more do we judge them, but rather
judge ourselves by them, and so come to appreciate
and to understand them more.
Among the classes thus truly great is the one of
'07. For four long yet happy years this mighty
class had struggled and toiled that they might be
worthy to step forth from their small world into a
larger and broader world which awaited them.
Let us go back to the year 1903 when this class
first started forth on its great race of knowledge, and
we will at once notice the change in the attitude of
the older classes on the arrival of the 'Freshmen.'
Teachers marveled and wondered at the singular
ability of this class, and even the grave old Seniors
feared lest they now at the last be out-stripped by
this mighty tribe.
Almost uneventfully passed the first year except
for the subject of lyceum which was announced
shortly after the beginning of the second semester,
and which was quickly denounced by all except one
small literary maiden who with her keen insight
at once saw what great benefits the class might reap
from such a pursuit of knowledge. She ,however,
being overruled by so large a majority, subsided into
�silence thus letting this notorious class stand out
from the first as an independent, self-reliant people.
So the first year passed successfully and '07 started on its second year with the bright hopes of winning the admiration of '08 and becoming a model by
which that class might mould its character into as
grand and as noble a one as that which had gone
before it.
This year awakened a new interest in the minds
of the Naughty Sevens toward widening their social
sphere, feeling that their former industrious mode
of life and well spent moments now deserved some
reward. Therefore a sleighride was planned to
Grawn, that beloved spot so dear to the hearts of all
the classes. This ride will long be remembered by
all, but particularly by the few in whose minds dwell
the never-to-be-forgotten picture of some of the boys
sadly gazing through the open windows, victims of
their first temptation. When this distracting news
reached the ears of the instructors great was the consternation thereof. Immediate action was necessary.
Steps must be taken at once to destroy the germs of
evil which had entered into the susceptible minds
of the class of '07. Scarcely had the noble preceptors time to discover some plan by which these bacteria might be destroyed when the information again
readied them that a sleighride to a much more distant place was being planned. Their righteous
indignation was now indeed aroused. These people,
who would so openly and brazenly defy the wishes
of this higher authority, were refused the use of a
class room for a meeting. But '07 was too energetic,
too independent to be overthrown by so petty an incident as this, so they marshalled their forces in the
heavy snow-drifts near the school building and decided upon a sleighride to a small suburban town
about eleven miles from the city.
This ride closed the adventures of the season and
now these worthy people were once more able to step
into a higher plane of life, and occupy the role of
Juniors.
It was during this year, that, not only the class
but the whole school were called upon to mourn the
death of "Ben" Robertson, captain of the '05 foot-
�ball team, and a general leader and favorite with all.
This great sorrow dampened the spirits of everyone,
for "Ben" was loved and respected by all who
knew him.
The rest of the year was spent in an effective and
industrious way until the latter part when the annual Junior-Senior reception was held. The class
left school in the spring yith the happy consciousness that three months later they would be exalted
to the position of Seniors.
And now at last we see them, starting on the home
stretch as dignified, noble Seniors, sweetly unconscious of their powers. With new energy and vitality they plunged bravely into the depths of learning,
anxious now to make this last year one that might
be an honor to the names of the Naughty Sevens.
The school had just fairly launched out upon this
years' work when death again entered their ranks,
this time calling from among them Edna Greilick,
whose sweet and happy disposition had won the love
and admiration of all. Truly may it be said of Edna
that she was "Friend of many, foe of none."
The remaining part of this year passed devoid of
noteworthy events until after the holidays, when
some of the more active Seniors began to agitate the
idea of having an annual, by which others might
judge the superior quality and the unmistakable
brilliancy of this class.
Thus we have watched and followed the progress
of this irreproachable class with its fifty members,
as step by step they have worked and striven that
they might attain a place unparalleled by any other
class which had left the stately old building and
now having at last won this honor, we see them again
as they step out of "school life into life's school."

�CLASS PROPHECY
BY VERA WYNKOOP
THE evening of June 23, 1930, in the
White House at Washington, D. C., the
final preparations are being made for a
great festivity. The decorator is just putting the
finishing touches to the rooms, adjusting, here and
there, large yellow and black, and lavender and white
banners, when there is a stir in the hall, announcing the President's approach and the decorator, giving one more, glance at his painstaking work, departs through one door just as the President and his
wife appear at another. The appearance of the
chief executive is, of course, somewhat different than
it was twenty-three years ago, but there is no mistaking the noble features of our former class President,
Jay Smith.
In memory of the former pleasant years spent in
the Traverse City High school, he has invited the
members of his graduating class to meet together
on this evening for a social time. Naturally, this
is a great occasion and so all of the class have en.deavored to be present.
At eight o'clock the first arrivals are announced,
and a moment later two tall figures step into the
room and are cordially greeted by the President One
is the United States Minister to Germany and the
other, the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
but can it be possible that they were once our fellowclassmen ? Yes, for the name "Spiegel" is heard
and we recognize in the large, broad-shouldered man,
"The Giant" of days gone by, Oscar Amtsbuechler,
and in the other tall but slightly bent figure, Robert
Walker, the "Duke." But their arrival is soon followed by others and we turn our attention toward the
entrance. In the door are several people and among
their somewhat strange and yet familiar faces we see
the countenances of Omar Roosa and Alice Nelson,
whose accomplishments in the practice of Black
Magic in Chicago aroused both the fear and the admiration of the people. Just behind them we see
the calm features of Florence Bissell and Olive Dobson. They have been working diligently for the Woman's Rights Bill which has only recently passed
�Congress and become a law and they are now using
their influence for the nomination of Eva Boone
for Treasurer of Grand Traverse County.
But what is that crowd of distinguished looking
people now entering the room ? And who is the beautiful, tall, languid appearing woman in advance of
the others? A second glance removes all doubt for
we recognize in the person who has created such a
sensation in Washington society, our old school mate,
Laura Cavis. Closely following her, is Annette Lardie, now bearing the title of an. Italian duchess, and
the tall, handsome man by her side must be her husband, Signor Bellini Donatello Cosmo Gattemalatta.
In the laughing group behind these we discern the
happy, serene countenances of Mrs. Lena Lardie
Church, and one of our former mischievous High
school students, known as Helen Thurtell, but who
now with another name and its owner, has moved to a
pleasant little home in Texas on the Rio Grande.
Eunice Rosser and Ruby Shilson are earnestly talking with her and seem to be showing great enthusiasm over the beautiful orphans' home that has been
erected at Traverse City by John Wonzer, the
wealthy railroad magnate of Michigan, and of which
they have the superficial management.
But there are more new arrivals entering the
room. Ah! that is Charles Chervenka, one of the
great 1930 football champions and John Bauman,
the successful Keystone merchant, just entering the
room with Alice Kyselka, Helen Walter, and Minnie
Laycock. Alice's career, thus far, has boon very
successful, for, as the author of the book on science,
dealing with the discovery and manufacture of flexible glass in Traverse City, she has obtained a lifelong popularity. Helen Walter, too, now an eminent Doctor, has a very wide practice while Minnie
Lavcock is very successfully filling Miss McLaughlin's position as teacher in the Traverse Iligh scheol.
But that tall, square shouldered man behind these,
wearing the large brass badge on his coat; who is
he? Can it be possible? Yes, there is no mistake.
It is Lucius Patchin, now a lawyer, who outside of
his wide practice at law, has been doing some very
worthy work, as Captain of the Salvation Army.
That graceful appearing gentleman with whom he is
talking must be Tate Evans, the well-known American dancing master, and the two ladies who just stepped up and are shaking hands with them, are their
old school friends, Gail Langworthy, now a suemssful dentist and Irene Pohoral, a well-known philosopher's wife.
But we can no longer distinguish the new arrivals
for already the rooms are becoming filled with people. Gay, laughing groups are seated in different
�places, all talking more or less about "olden times
and things which might have been." In one of these
we discern the happy and serene countenances of
Maude McMichael and Charlotte Friedrich, now
both very successful Latin and History teachers in
the University of Michigan. They are intensely
interested in a discussion on Woman's Suffrage with
Glen Codman, who from the year 1923 has been cartoonist for the leading Woman's Rights paper in
Cedar City.
In another group near these, are several others
who appear familiar and yet for a moment we cannot place them. The two ladies laughing and talking
together—who are they? One is saying that her
home is in Manistee now. Manistee? Oh, yes! that
is Louise Hale, but how changed! And the other?
That is Arletta McManus, our class artist, and of
whose career we should all be proud. Also the two
men in conversation with them, we recognize as Ernest Miller and Heiman Coplan, the competing poets
of our class, and now, still rivals, both occupying
prominent places in American literature.
There is another group of people near one of the
entrances which attracts out attention and among
the familiar faces those of Vencel Ludka and Ruth
Merrifield are apparent. The former has become
a very prosperous druggist at Slights' Siding while
Ruth has married a successful dancing master and
now lives in a beautiful home in Chicago. Two ladies wearing the emblem of the Red Cross on their
arms are just entering the room and for a moment
appear as strangers to me, but no, they are greeting
people to the right and left and we discover them to
be worthy members of our class, Lola Lutman and
Minnie Votruba. They are now nurses in one of the
government hospitals in Washington and announce
that Lieutenant Frank -McIntosh, who has been confined there on account of some quite serious injuries
received in the recent negro insurrection at Louisville, Kentucky, is unable to be present at the re-union of the High school graduates. There are three
other members of the class, also not present, and
whose absence is highly deplored. Corinne Silvers
is taking an extended pleasure trip through Europe
at the present time while. Don Cameron and Carrie
Cox have given up their lives to misionary work, the
former being in Africa and the latter in South America. But with the exception of these four, the entire
class is assembled.
As soon as the guests have arrived President
Smith addresses them with a few words of greeting,
in which he speaks of his pleasant school days and
the pleasure which the reunion of his classmates has
afforded him. Following his address is one by Ed
�•
Fellers, now Secretary of State in Smith's cabinet
and his advisor in all legal matters.
After Lars Iloekstad gives a very valuable discussion on the subject of his discovery of the South
pole, Esther Benson delivers a few ideas from her
Temperance Lectures and then Arthur Lederle, still
an eminent "Judge," and Elbe Johnson, the American scientist, deliver short interesting addresses. Elbe describes the machine which he has invented and
in which he has made several flying excursions to the
planet Mars.
I
Bennett is just beginning to speak a few
words as an advertisement for the Revised Edition
of the Smith-Roosevelt dictionary for which he is
agent, when there is a stir at the entrance and every
eve in the room is turned in that direction. In the
door stands an extremely tall, thin person, a stranger
to all appearances and yet there seems to be something almost familiar in his mein. He speaks a
word or two to John Wonzer, who is near him and
the latter with almost a gasp of surprise, grasps his
hand. Who can it be? Ah ! now we know. It is
Charles Bracken "the dwarf' of the class but what
has happened to him ? He answers our inquiries
by exhibiting a small machine which he has been
carrying under his arm, called the "Stretchuoutagus." It is a device used to make short people tall,
and he, having tested its power on himself and found
its real value, has become an agent for it and he now
endeavors to persuade Mary Hurley, "the little Fortune Teller," to purchase one, but all in vain.
Josephine Davis is now called upon to give one
of her excelent piano solos, but she and Vera Wynkoop, the "spinster," who have erected a college
home for Bachelor Girls in Chicago, to take the place
of the Hull House, seem to be under the hypnotic
influence of Maq Stanley and will not be interruptMaq by this time, has become very efficient
ed.
in all of his old arts of music, literature, and hypnotism and he now seems to be testing his abilities in
the latter.
But this vision fades away before my eyes, and I
am brought back to the present time by the tinkling
sound of the town clock as it strikes the hour of five
and I realize that, for the last half hour, I have
been gazing at a large red sign, intermingling the
future history of the graduating class of 1907 with
its bold letters, which spell the mystic word
"skidoo."
�SPOON, SPOON, SPOON
S POON, spoon, spoon,
From early eve till late,
A man and maid
Sat in the shade
Sealing their common fate.
"And the moon rose over the city
Behind the dark church tower"
And they agreed it was a pity
That it was so late an hour,
But regardless of the time of night
And heedless of their doom
They both continued with all their might
To spoon, spoon, spoon.
—And they're "spooning" yet.

BY MAUDE McM1CHAEL
T
0 OUR friends and neighbors, whose interest in us has ever spurred us on to do our
best; to our parents whose love and aid have
made possible our High school education; and to our
teachers whose influence and assistance and co-operation have led us to adopt worthier ambitions and to
strive toward higher ideals, we extend the heartiest
greetings to this, the Commencement of the class of
1907.
It is in truth a commencement, for we are no longer boys and girls, sheltered, cared for, and watched
over, but young men and women about to take our allotted places in the world of hard, practical fact
where each one must carve out his own niche and
rely for strength not on his neighbor but on himself. All this is hard for us to realize, for the end
of schooldays seems just now to be the end of almost everything, so long has the school been our lit-
tie world, and school interests our deepest interests.
When, four years ago, we entered the High school
to begin our careers there, and looked forward with
longing and anticipation to this very occasion, it
seemed far, far off in the dim uncertain future, a
goal which would be reached after a long time, after
much striving and many difficulties; but tonight,
as we look back, it seems but a day since the doors
of the schoolhouse first opened to admit us, wondering and not a little frightened, and we took up the
tasks which we have pursued since then. They have
sometimes been hard and we often grew discouraged
and down-hearted, but soon our natural, youthful
light-heartedness and courage would rise again and
all would be well. Although the years seem to have
passed swiftly, they have left their impressions upon us and their events and influences have had a
great part'in moulding our characters. We cannot
�help but stop to think, "What have these four years
meant to us? How have they helped prepare us better to take our place in life? What have we gained
from them ?"
Naturally, the first thing that comes to our minds
is the knowledge that we have obtained from our
books. Through our research, reading, and study of
mathematics,science, the laws of the physical universe, the world's history, literature, and languages,
our views have been broadened and we have attained
a wider scope of vision. While reading the greatest.
products of the human intellect and studying the
noblest characters the world has known, we could
not help but almost unconsciously take lessons from
their lives for ourselves arid profit by them.
However, although these advantages aro inestimable and have profited us much, we have gained other
things which are of as much value, if not more. Our
constant association with the other pupils has served
to give us a keener insight into human nature, to
teach us to distinguish between mere show and pretense and real honest worth. In a measure, it has
rubbed off the sharp edges and toned down the crudeness of our characters, brought us self-control and
self-reliance, making us think less of ourselves and
more of others. Thus it has strengthened us and
made us more fit to accomplish our various missions in life.
We have gained another thing of which we can
never estimate the true value, our friendships. Although these school friends may, in a short time,
pass from our view, we can never forget them or the
impressions they have made upon us. We have
learned to honor the noble traits in the characters
about us, to love the sweet, unselfish, and gentle, to
admire the generous, high-minded, and honorable.
After four years of almost daily intercourse, we
have grown to know each other in a way that it may
never be possible to know other friends. We have
experienced pleasure and happiness together, elation
and pride in our victories as a class and as a part of
the High school, and we have been drawn together
through sorrow in the loss of two of our best loved
classmates. Thus through these common experiences of joy and grief we have been brought. together, joined by bonds which can never be broken; we
have been made more ,,ympathetic, a little more unselfish, a little better able to aid others in carrying
their burdens. So, although we may soon be separated, the influence and impressions these friendships have made upon our characters can never be
effaced and in future years, the remembrance of
�therm will 1w a pleasure and an inspiration.
There is still another thing that we have gained—
worthier ambitions and higher ideals. These at first
thought may seem to be of less value than our other
attainments, but in reality they have the greatest
worth of all. We have learned to look above the
common, sordid things of life and to see the beautiful, the noble. We desire to make the best of ourselves, to develop the talents the Creator has given
us, not only for our own satisfaction and betterment but for that of our fellow creatures. Someone
may say, "Is all this worth while?" It can truly be
answered that this is the one thing worth while in
life. All others are subordinate. Is it not this desire of man to better not alone himself but others too,
that raises him above his naturally base and selfish
instincts?
Is it not for this that we receive education and in our younger years are taught and prepared to enter into life? Therefore we may feel satisfaction when we realize that we have almost unconsciously been influenced to adopt these ambitions
and ideals toward which ever to strive.
Again we would express our gratitude and thanks
to those who have made possible for us these four
years, to our parents and the teachers whom we have
learned to respect and honor. In the years now approaching we shall try to repay them, to show them
that they have not helped us in vain, and, as best we
can, to live up to their fondest hopes and expectations for us. Therefore to all those to whom we are
so much indebted, once more, as a class, we extend
the heartiest, sincerest welcome.

�oe AMERICAN PRINCIPLE
A
CLASS ORATION BY ELBE JOHNSON
LL M EN are created with equal religious
and political rights; all are entitled to a
voice in the government that controls them,
all may enjoy the blessings of life, liberty and equality. To gain the fullest realization of these rights,
and of the pleasures of their concomitant pursuits,
did men first seek American soil. With the precepts
of justice written in their hearts, they founded a nation, the American nation; and these American principles, unaltered and unchanged, have remained the
doctrine of its people.
In the consideration of this sublime subject of
American Principle, in so far as it embraces the common laws of our being, let us take a brief retrospect
of its guiding influences over our forefathers, its
lessons to ourselves, and our duties to our posterity,
as therein taught. Let us exchange our present, sanguine, twentieth-century attitude of facing only the
future, for a careful, thoughtful, backward glance,
which will carry us away from our existing order
and system, with their well organized associations,
to those darker hours immediately preceding the
birth of our nation, and to the perils which so hampered its growth while it was yet in its infancy.
Today we are standing upon ground which two
hundred years ago was being greedily disputed by
several of the leading powers of Europe. The questions then at stake were of great import to us as a
coming people. In this land our adversaries saw vast
commercial opportunities; for ourselves we saw the
possibility of rearing here a government which
should foster human rights and human privileges,
a government "of the people, by the people, and for
the people." We asked nothing for which the constitution of the mother country did not provide, but
Great Britain in the vain glory of her power and
wealth, had ceased to cherish in her bosom, those
principles which she herself held essential for the
healthy growth of a free-thinking people. The Colonists were not the only ones to see that the British
�government professed principles far different from
the privileges enjoyed by its subjects. Britain's most
loyal statesmen saw what would be the certain outcome of any general declaration of American principle. They rejoiced when the Colonists resisted,
and in their firm adherence to the original principles of English rule, they applauded the efforts of
their brothers beyond the sea. With Pitt, they saw,
as we did ourselves at a later period" that "a people
so dead to the feelings of liberty as involuntarily to
submit to be slaves, would be fit instruments to make
slaves of the rest."
However, they were unable to help us and our national grievances increased until it became necessary
for us to 'dissolve those political bands" which had
connected us with the mother country, and to declare
to the world "the causes of the separation."
The great impending crisis approached, the moment in which Liberty should assert the might of its
right. The already gray day darkened into night—
s starless night—whose awful darkness witnessed
one of the most serious, most earnest struggles this
old earth has ever suffered. But the sun of a new
day did not delay his coming, and with him came
the vivifying light. This violent disunion had been
but the prognostic of a great social evolution. The
entire mechanism of the nation had passed under a
new dispensation.
A new faction has displaced
the old. As Brougham observed, "After a series of
extraordinary successes—and an uninterrupted display of political wisdom, firmness, and moderation,
they threw off the yoke of the mother country, and
won for themselves a new constitution."
Under the peculiar conditions which existed during its infancy, our nation sprang up with a phenomenal growth as never nation grew before. Within
a few decades she stood forth commanding the respect of kings. She saw the evil of religious legislation and put it down. One by one the relics of feudalism and monarchical rule, which had followed our
forefathers from the land of their childhood, were
abolished, till it seemed that all men were permanently established on one great piano of equality.
For a time our nation grew—she prospered, but in
her prosperity she brought forth—evil. She reared
an institution contrary to her own ideals, which hindered her own growth. This was slavery. And seeing her great mistake, she spilled the blood of
thousands of her freemen, to remove the stain of her
corruption. By this sacrifice was she crowned with
victory—then did she come forth united and prepared to stand.
�A new growth set in, a new era ensued. As her
wound healed and her financial condition improved,
there began a development exceeding all former examples of national growth. Knowledge increased,
and as never before "mind" beemee the great lever of
all things. It was the dawning of a new day, a day
both of intellectual and material advancement, a
day of a story such as pen had never told.
Now what have these things meant, and what will
be their ultimate result? The institutions which have
been nurtrued in this country, have enabled man
to approach, nearer than ever before, his final supremacy. During the entire life of our nation, her sons
have maintained the highest ideals possible to a
growing people, the form of government which they
have established has been the most. successful ever
known. Under right guidance, the foundations
which have been laid on their constitutional principle, will stand through countless coming years, supporting the ever-growing edifice, which shall approach nearer and nearer to a grand monumental finish. It shall mark through all ensuing ages, one of
the greatest epochs of this world's history.
However, this rapid growth may prove disastrous.
If the people of the American commonwealth relinquish their rights as their own legislators—if the
people of this nation allow the sacred charges, which
their forefathers have left to them, to slip from their
grasp, and to come under the control of a perhaps
less scrupulous body politic, no one can foretell
what monarchical trend our national affairs may
take.
Our fathers before us sought these shores to escape the power of the tyrant, the monarchism of the
old world. Through their self-sacrificing efforts,
they were instrumental in bringing forth here, a
The duties
new, distinct form of government,
which then devolved upon us have increased with
our national development, and today the exercise of
these changes requires a vigilance never before necessitated in the control of human aflairs.
If we become over arrogant in our present condition, or look too much at the possible glories beyond,
we are in danger of stumbling over the difficulties
which suround us. We must be sober—we must
be moderate, if we would be masters, for in this age
of commercial greed, we may forget the principles
of that sacred Constitution on which our nation
stands.
If we, and those that are to follow us, depart
from the rules of justice, violate the laws of human
equity, and forget each other's civic rights, we
�know not how soon our Ship of State may be precipitated on the rocks of political and moral corruption.
Rather than this "I have," with Bright, "a far
other and far brighter vision before my gaze. It may
be but a vision, but I will cherish it, I see one vast
confederation stretching from the frozen north in
unbroken line to the glowing south, and from the
wild billows of the Atlantic, westward to the calmer
waters of the Pacific main, and I see one people, and
one law, and one language, and one faith, and over
all the wide continent, the home of Freedom, and a
refuge for the oppressed of every race, and every
el ime."
Now, as never before, in this day of growth of
nations, and when national boundaries are in many
lands so unsettled, it behooves us to use tie greatest precautions in taking any radical step, or in instituting any governmental change, likely to affect
our CO111111011 welfare. The modern political Hellespont abounds in dangers, unparalleled by the difficulties which confronted the ancient seafarer, while the
internal and international problems to be met by an
organized government today, require that every
man shall possess none but the keenest and clearest
conceptions of the right principles of popular government, and to these principles alone can we look
for our guiding beam through any political storm,
which may find us adrift beyond the calm. Though
many mighty nations have gone down before less appaling perplexities, than those through which our
own government has passed—
"Still one great clime in full and free defiance
Yet rears her crest, unconquered and sublime,
Above the far Atlantic."
In our land as in no other have, these principles
been realized; from the first the people of this continent have held the tenets of liberty and equality
in their innermost hearts. They have stood up in
unity and protected their ideals with their life-blood,
and have feared nothing in the maintenance of the
doctrines of their fathers. And now it devolves upon
us to carry forward this great standard of American principle--American principle as it existed in
the hearts of a persecuted few before the discovery
of our continent, the true principles of democratic
government as conceived in the minds of a few simple men before the birth of our nation. Only by the
greatest exertion can we maintain in our union that
liberty with which we are now blessed, and only by
the most conscientious guidance, can we continue to
exist on that high plane, which had made our land
a refuge for exiles from foreign shores, natives of
�every race and clime, who come to make this the
home of their adoption and to support its principles
as their own.
As long as civilized man shall be gifted with intellect, as long as he shall possess those conceptions of
right and wrong that distinguish him from the barbarian, he will sustain the government of the people.
We as Americans will rise up in a grand assembly
to proclaim and maintain our constitutional principles. We will support them through times of peace
and times of war, and with the help of the God of
nations, will we make the realization of the princi-
ples of American government the crowning feature
of the civilization of the Twentieth century, for
"Here the spirit of mankind at length
Throws its last fetters off, and who shall place
A limit to the giant's unchained strength
Or curb his swiftness in the forward race ?
Far—like the comet's way through infinite space
Stretches the long untravelled path of light
Into the depths of ages, we may trace
Distant the brightening glory of its flight
Till the receding rays are lost to human sight."
�THE VALUE OF LANGUAGE STUDY
VALEDICTORY. BY CORINNE SILVERS
G
OETHE says: "The man who is ignorant of
foreign languages is ignorant of his own."
The world today does not seem to know
the intrinsic value of language study. In Germany
the sciences are being substituted for Latin and
Greek and even in our own high schools and colleges
these culture studies are slowly giving place to the
more scientific courses of the day. But the student
of the classics can not deny that years of language
study not only to train and discipline the mind, but
facilitate the art of speaking and writing, and also
add culture and refinement.
First, the training and disciplining of the intellectual faculties. In translating a passage from the
original into the English we seek carefully the meaning of each and every line. Any language, ancient,
or modern, must of necessity be studied in a more
exact manner than our own, if the full and correct
meaning be conveyed. The mind becomes sharpened in the perception of general principles, in the
grasping of details, and finally cultivates that habit
of accuracy and refinement which sometime will
be crystallized into character.
The training of the memory is also a benefit derived. There are two distinct functions which the
memory must perform, the accurate memorizing of
details and the retaining of general impressions.
There are times in every person's life when the ability to memorize details accurately is absolutely necessary. This ability is naturally acquired by the word
and form memory, which is an essential part of foreign language work. How often, also do we find
it necessary to retain merely a mental picture of
something. Then when memory makes its demands,
as a result of our training, we shall be able to give a
correct general characterization and perform this
function of the memory work.
There are people who decry the study of languages
such as Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, saying they are
impractical for use in after life. To bo sure they
�are never used as such. To use the homely figure,
one may as well argue that the grindstone which
sharpens the axe is an impractical device because
the axe and not it. is used for cutting. So the study
of a language makes us so much the more mentally
keen to cope with the affairs of life.
Advancement in life consists greatly in arguing
one's way to success. This being true one must have
facility in the art of speaking and writing. The
first. requisite is a large and working vocabulary
which is obtained by the daily memorizing and using of words with their definitions. Not only do we
need a broad vocabulary, but also a judicious and
accurate choice of words which is eventually produced by detecting English derivatives, searching
for synonyms with the slightest shade of difference
in meaning, and studying powerful expression. Then
if we apply to the polishing and enriching of our
own diction that carefulness and acuteness which we
are accustomed to employ while studying foreign
languages, we are able to add elegance and finish to
the already distinguishing excellencies, namely,:
strength and variety.
One of the things we are striving for is efficiency
and the truest efficiency is to be found in the cultured. What is culture ? A combination of what we
call education and that inborn regard for our fellow
men, refinement. And what is education ? A training and developing of every faculty we possess, not
intellectual alone but physical and moral as well.
Every nation has three epochs in its progress, the
primitive, the commercial, and the cultured. Is it
not in the last of these that the very best and richest
experiences of a nation's history are obtained ?
Since the languages are the gateway to culture,
let us with efficiency prepare ourselves to enter this
gateway and enjoy what lies beyond. Leigh Hunt
said: "It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young." For it is at the age of seventeen
or eighteen that the deepest impressions of life are
made. A written word is the choicest of relics.
Books are the treasured wealth of the world, an intellectual culture which enlightens and broadens the
mind. How much more then should we learn to know
and appreciate the treasures of antiquity, so closely
connected with all the noblest themes of life,—literature, art and poetry. It is here we can learn the
Greek conception of the beautiful and enrich our
minds for a life of high ideals.
As a word is the key to the soul of a person, a
language is the key to the soul of a people. The
language of every nation reveals its characteristics
�and its life. The Greek shows delicacy of diction,
beauty of expression, nobleness of thought, euphony
of speech, and nicety of perception. It is rich in
roots, flexible in formation of words, picturesque in
the mode of expressing tliought, and altogether
melodious. Its very antiquity, its intrinsic excellence, its literature, all reflect the harmony and
versatility of the race by whom it is spoken. The
Latin language, vigorous, powerful, ponderous, but
not unwieldly, euphonious but not musical, portrays
the life of the. Romans, that race invincible in war,
intensely practical in daily routine, and made immortal by its law.
One advantage in studying these clauses is that we
are compelled to read them just as they were written,
in the initial language. All the greatest classical
writings have been translated into the modern tongues
but a real and living acquaintance with the ancient
classics and works of art can only be obtained through
the original, the power and beauty of which is lost in
the most excellent translation. The translator with
all his efforts has done little to bring us nearer to the
heroes of antiquity, to give us a better knowledge of
the people, their history, their literatures, for a
translation rarely if ever equals the marvelous beauty
and elegant finish attained by the ancients.
Then let us read the best that literature offers, become acquainted with the classics, and feel that "the
riches of a man does not consist in the abundance
of the things he possesseth," but also in the ability to
understand and appreciate those things that make for
culture and refinement.
We have finished our High school course. Four
years as a class we have worked together, at times
disheartened and discouraged and at other times
enjoying a measure of success. They have been
happy years filled with the most pleasant recollections
and memories our lives may afford. I trust, fellow
students, although the circumstances of life cause us
to separate tonight that we, as a class, in the future,
as in the past, may remain united in thought and
purpose.
To our instructors, whose helpful guidance and
daily patience have largely made possible for us this
occasion, we owe a deep debt of gratitude. To the
members of the class of 1907 the time has come to
say farewell.
"We should never speak that word "Farewell"
But with an utterance faint and broken,
A heart-sick yearning for the time,
When it shall nevermore be spoken."
�LITERARY DEPARTMENT
THE LAST VOYAGE
T
BY JAY SMITH
HE morning grew warm and it was with a sigh
or relief that I dismounted and after securing my horse, seated myself on a rustic bench
between the road and bay shore, where the cool
breezes from the water could play on me. Across
the road and on a slight elevation stood a large white
house, overlooking the water. It was, perhaps, nearly
an hour that I sat here dozing and dreaming, when a
man came walking up the road from town. He was
a middle aged man and walked with a peculiar roll.
As he approached I noticed that he was gazing intently at the house across the way and it was not
until a movement of my horse attracted his attention
that he became aware of my presence.
"Good morning," he said with a good natured
smile ; "Could I bother you for a match ? Ah, thanks.
Any objections to my sitting down and resting ?"
Being favorably impressed with the fellow I made
�room for him beside me on the bench. Discussing
the weather and the country the conversation ran on
smoothly for some time.
"Did you ever hear the story of the house back
of us I" he asked.
I answered that I had not and expressed a willingness to listen to it.
"Well it's rather a pathetic little thing, but if
you're willing to listen, I'll tell it. It seems that
the house was built by an old sea captain well known
around here as Old Captain Tom. He had sailed on
salt water, but the voyages were too long and kept
him away from his home too much, so he brought his
small family, a wife, son and • daughter to Chicago,
where he took command of the "Old City of Traverse" plying between Chicago and this city. Later
he built this house and moved his family up here.
Good investments had made the old captain independently rich, but he wasn't quite ready to give up
his ship to his son, Young Captain Tom, who was
now his father's first officer. Many people wondered
why he preferred this quiet little place to the Windy
City, for there he owned a mansion on one of the best
residence streets in Chicago, but those who knew him
knew that he who had fought the lake for days at a
time and in its worst. mood and had ever proven him-
self to be it's master, wanted to live in peace as it's
friend when through sailing on it.
Every time the boat reached the dock the captain
superintended the unloading of it and then leaving
the second officer in charge, he and young Tom would
drive out here at any time of the. night or day and in
the worst storms. Finally the time came when the
old captain gave up his ship to his son and came to
this place to spend the rest of his days. Tie failed
fast and for years lay in that room on the beach—the
one on the north side—listening to the surf pound
and boom on the beach. It was the sweetest music his
ears had ever listened to for he loved the water, and
particularly this beautiful bay, and many a time
when "The City" rounded the light at Cathead Point,
I have heard him say, "Tom, I know every light from
the Straits down, but when I see this light and round
her I feel as if I were sailing into my own back
yard."
The stranger paused and gazed off beyond the
island to where Cathead Point stood out into the
lake. Far away, standing out between the island and
the point a large schooner was slipping along with
all sails set and nearer us a small sailing canoe was
darting back and forth like a swallow.
"Up in that north room overlooking the sparkling
�water of the bay the old captain lay dying." The
stranger was speaking again. "Beside his bed his
family kept careful watch waiting for some signs of
returning consciousness. Young Tom, bronzed by
wind and sun was by his father's side and beneath
his gruff, sailor's manners his heart was touched and
softened. The old captain's breathing became easier
but less deep. Suddenly his eyelids flickered and
opened.
"Is all right on the dock Tom ?" he asked.
"Aye, Aye, sir," came the prompt but soft answer.
"Then cast off her lines." The eyelids flickered
again but now they closed. In a little lilac bush
near the window a robin piped a few soft notes and
the ship of life which bore the soul of Old Captain
Tom slipped her moorings, dropped quietly down
with the tide and was soon lost to view in the mists
which enveloped that great sea separating us from
the golden hereafter. "
There were tears in the eyes of the old man when
he ceased speaking and I dare say that mine were
somewhat. moist. We sat silently until a farmer's
wagon came lumbering along. When the driver saw
my friend he pulled up short.
"Hello, hello Captain Tom. Glad to see you again.
Came out to see the old place, eh ? Well if you're
going back to town jump in and I'll give you a lift."
The captain jumped in and turning, called out,
'The next time you come to Chicago, look me up at
the Graham and Morton docks," and the wagon jolted around a curve in the road.
�A FRIEND
A
BY ELBE JOHNSON
friend—
What is there in this dreary world more
dear,
When with this weary struggle we are spent
And cringe beneath some towering element
That bears us down, than to have near
A friend.
A friend—
Ah ! memories of a life long role,
Of childhood's happy hours and days of youth,
When we took every omen for a truth,
And greeted every other living soul—
A friend.
A friend.
As children we did count as friends
All creatures, whether great or whether small,
Because in simple faith we loved them all,
And sought for every furtherance of our ends—
Some friend.
A friend—
When mid discouragements of older years
Hard worn with labored battles of our' strife,
We feel the tedious lingering of our life,
Ah ! blessed thought to have who'll share our tears—
A friend.
A friend.
When we approach that last embracing rest,
And earthly things begin to fade away,
We feel in death the victory of the day,
And render our last prayer unto the best
Of friends.
The friend
Who trod this weary path long years alone
And came, His life and all in all to give,
Who died that such as we through Him might live
And now awaits us in His glory home—
A friend.
�THE REASON WHY
BY ERNEST MILLER
T
HE day dawned,—and such a day ! The sun
rose round and red in the eastern sky, turning soon to a ball of gold that rapidly
diminished in size until it appeared normal. It was
the day of the great Interscholastic Track Meet. At
an early hour a great throng of people from the
country round about set out toward the Athletic Park
located in the center of a vast oak grove near the
outskirts of the beautiful little city of Fairview.
People on foot and in carriages came pouring in; the
roads were lined with conveyances, while walks were
overcrowded with pedestrians.
Along a winding path in the oak grove, a merry
couple strolled toward the gates of the athletic park.
Both were young and the pleasures of a happy school
life were very evident about the countenances of each.
Sometimes they danced gaily along the path; sometimes they paused to note the twittering of song
birds; sometimes they walked sedately, with the
girl's hand lightly resting on the young man's arm.
The maiden, a trim neat little figure, was not over
sixteen years old, and decidedly pretty. She had
dark eyes and a sweet mouth. The bright sun sparkling in her fluffy hair, and a pleasant smile made
her appear more beautiful than ever.
As the two came in sight of the big gates of the
athletic park, she looked up at the youth, and said in
a sweet voice, "Harry, you listen here! You've beaten most men on the start; those you haven't, you've
tied at the two-twenty; and the rest you've done up
at the finish."
"It is truly kind of you to say that, Alice," answered the young man, "but this new fellow from
Orangeville is another sort. If I beat him out, I have
got to do all this; I've got to jump him on the
pistol; I've got to break his heart at the two-twenty;
and I've got. to run him off his feet at the tape, besides—"
"But, Harry, I feel sure you can do all this and
more too. Remember, I shall be watching and,—
�and oh, how joyful I'll be if you win that race!
Here we are at the gates now. You must go directly
to your dressing room. Remember! I'll be watching."
Thus they parted.
Harry Cosgrove represented the Fairview High
school in the quarter mile. He made the team in his
Freshman year as a long distance runner. The
trained eye of the coach soon noticed that he was
obviously born a sprinter, hence in his Junior year
he began training for the dashes, especially the
quarter.
His event was the first on the program and he
had no sooner received a good rub-down than the
"last call for the 440 !" was made. Amid a wild
shout of cheers, the contestants ran onto the field.
Every fellow was the picture of perfect health, and all
seemed in excellent condition for the coming test of
prysieal endurance and skill.
Cosgrove was among the stalwart athletes. He was
indeed a splendidly built fellow, clean cut as a race
horse, yet beneath his fair skin played muscles of
steel. He had fine shoulders and a well developed
pair of arms. His legs were symmetrical and suggestive of strength. His waist was small. His neck
swelled at the base, rising into a splendid column
that was surmounted by a finely formed head.
As the fellows trotted around the track to the
starting point, the Fairview rooters gave a mighty
yell:
"Rah ! Rah ! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Cosgrove !"
At that yell a pair of rosy cheeks in the grand
stand blushed, a heart. fluttered and felt a thrill of
delight.
The lad did not hear the yell. His eyes were
searching the grand stand. Soon he saw those blushing cheeks and a large pennant waving toward him.
"She is watching," he said, "and I must win!"
"On your marks !" shouted the starter, and ten
eager athletes sought their respective positions.
"Get set !"
Ten lithe forms crouched like so many panthers,
ready to spring upon their prey. Several thousands
of spectators across the field at the finish tape, held
their breaths as the tense excitement of the moment
shot through their bodies.
�"Crack !" sounded the starter's pistol.
Ten clean limbed, lithe, determined young sprinters leaped away at the report. The 440 was on !
The start made by Cosgrove attracted the attention of all. The rooters cheered as they never
cheered before. When the pistol spoke, Cosgrove
seemed to shoot ahead at full speed on the very first
stride, Over the first hundred yards he led easily.
The others followed closely ! Soon the terrific pace
began to tell on those muscles of steel. He was not
reserving his strength for the final spurt.
At the two-twenty mark, Clark, the Orangeville
sprinter, drew up alongside and passed Cosgrove,
whose legs were growing stiff from the exertion. A
groan escaped from the rooters as Taylor of Glendale,
passed him at the two hundred mark. Still the Fairview lad spurted on as best he could.
At the one hundred seventy-five mark Cosgrove
took a brace. He realized that others were at his
heels and inch by inch he began to eat up the distance between himself and the two ahead of him.
He was not out of the race by any means! His
stride became more free and easy; he was covering
the ground far faster than he appeared to be. The
crowd began to grow excited again. Within one
hundred yards of the tape he passed Taylor.
Clark was now about eight yards ahead of Cosgrove. Something then happened that aroused the
crowd to a still wilder excitement, for Clark seemed
to pull open the throttle and put on a full head of
steam. But something else was happening! Harry
let himself out, and was doing his best. Gradually he
crept toward Clark.
`Cosgrove is in this race !"
"Look at him,—just look !"
"But he can't win. I t's Clark !"
"It's Clark ! Rah for Clark !"
In truth, it seemed as though Clark wotjld reach
the tape before the swiftly approaching Cosgrove
could pass him. But Cosgrove was making an amazing dash. He judged every stride perfectly and began to exert himself in an almost super-human effort.
He knew what it meant if he won ; he knew Alice
Carver was watching him with straining eyes and
wildly beating heart. He knew his friends were
watching
It was the Fairview yell that reached his ears.
Yes, they were all watching. They expected him
to win ; they were confident he would win. They
were cheering! Cosgrove's eyes were fastened on the
�back of (lark. lie must now close the distance
between them.
Could he do it?
Never in all his life had he exerted himself more.
Tie summoned all his strength and fairly flew. The
spectators grew mad with wonder and excitement as
Harry, straining every nerve, closed the gap and overtook the sprinter of Orangeville.
Forty yards more!
Could he pass Clark before reaching the tape ?
He knew now the slightest faltering would mean
disaster, the slightest relaxing, defeat, when victory
was within his grasp.
The emotions of Clark cannot be described. Envy
rose and burned like fire within him. He had
believed himself invincible. He flung back his head,
and, unconsciously, brought up his hands and pressed
them to his breast. This was the worst thing he
could have done. His fists were clenched, his teeth
were set, his eyes were glaring. He faltered for an
instant ,which broke his perfect stride.
It was Harry's only chance!
He took it and,—won the race, hitting the tape
just two feet ahead of his opponent.
That evening he was called to the telephone and a
familiar sweet voice said, "Oh, I knew you cold do
it, Harry!"
"Yes," replied the lad, "I did it, but why ? Can
you guess ?"

�A WORD FROM THE ALUMNI
Y
ur are to be commended for publishing an
Annual. The Alumni feel that it will mean
much to you in later days, this tangible evidence of your enterprise. We wish you well. May
your ambitions be attained ; may health and strength
be yours, and may you go on to achievement, for your
success will be ours.
As the enthusiasm of the victory stretches beyond
the field and the High school walls and inspires one
who loves his Alma Mater wherever he may be, so
your success in life and the realization of your high
ideqls will be an inspiration to the Alumni. I understand that yours is a class rich in friendship. If
tie Alumni would impress upon your minds one
thing more than another, it is to treasure your school
friendships. Probably our success in life is influenced more by our friendships than by any other one
thite-. Frean them Ave draw our inspirations. By
sharing our success and our pleasures with our
friends we increase our joy. By bearing our burdens with us they decrease our sorrows. To our
friends we look for counsel and guidance in the perplexing problems of life.
One of the advantages of smaller institutions of
learning over great. universities is that the students
mire into personal contact with their instructors and
lasting friendships are formed which are an inspiration and a help all through life. Probably more
tree and lasting friendships are formed in our
school days than at. any other time in life. There is
in such friendships less of the mercenary.
The basis of our school day friendship is what we
are. Too often in social life and in the business
world it is what we have or what, we can do for ourselves. It. is well for us that at least in the common
and high schools of our country there is an equality
—the equality of worth, of what we are, of what we
can accomplish. Ilere the heir to millions and the
son of the fruit vender, the bootblack, and the
judge's son sit side by side. To the schools and the
spirit. which they engender we must look for the safe
guarding of our Republican institutions. No royalty
�here but the royalty of worth and achievement. In
other countries the lines are sharply drawn, but democratic young America grasps in congratulation the
hand of him who wins, whether it be the son of the
merchant, prince or the poor boy working his way
through school.
Our school days are probably the happiest days
el our life. We may sometimes think that we are
having a pretty hard time, but there is less of the
care and responsibility which the active duties of life
bring. Let us enjoy the happiness and associations
of school life while we may, because the stern duties
of life will be ours soon enough. Then, honor, position, influenee may be ours, but the time will come
when we may need and can depend only upon the
friends of our youth. In times of trial, and we cannet expect that all will he smooth sailing, we shall
have to breast. the storms of life, and before we reach
that. Port. where friendships never cease, we shall
need the assistance and comfort that true friends
alone can give.
Many friends may be yours if success attends your
efforts and prosperity shall smile upon you—buttertly friends, who flit away when the winds of adversity come. Sometimes we are disappointed in the
friendships and the friends of our school days and
our youth, but the man who purposely forgets and ignores you because he has been able to accumulate
more of the riches of this world than you, while
you have earned an honest living, is not worthy of
your friendship.
Life may and does bring many cares and trials, but
the sorrow and the trials of life are more than balanced by its rich and lasting friendships. It is in
need that we have the friend indeed.
Let us not forget the school friend who has had
to drop out by the way because of circumstances over
which he or she has had no control. There are
many whom the pages of history delight to honor,
who have achieved less, sacrificed less in their sphere
than some in the quiet home. It may be the daughter
who desires to secure a high school, collegiate, or
business education, but because of her brothers, there
are two of them and she feels that two are more than
one; she sacrifices it all and giving up her cherished
plans and ambitions, works at home that her brothers
may have the privileges which she herself so much
desires. It may be a son who is called upon to take
a father's place and keep the little family together
tinder the mother's care, for he feels that there is no
care like a mother's, and that the calm, pure life,
the inspiration and the thorough foundation of
�I
honesty and true manhood which they will get from
the mother will mean more than anything else to
them. These you can cheer and it may be that later,
circumstances may enable them to secure the education they so much desire. It may be that illness has
for the time being caused some to leave the school
room. They have not been able to return to their
duties as soon as they have planned, discouragement
may have come to them, and they may not now be
making the efforts which they might were they inspired to do more. A letter from you may renew
the old desire, fire the thirst for knowledge, and redouble their efforts to secure the education so essen- •
tial to their success, and which will enable them to
accomplish more for their fellow men.
No matter what may be our position later in life,
school friendships will mean much to us, and
whether our choice of occupation or our achievements take us to the great city, or to the village or
farm or to the high office of trust and responsibility,
our school friendships will always be dear to us.
Short, was the time which Lincoln had in school, not
more than a year in all, yet in that time he formed
friendships which he must have treasured. One of
his old playmates and so-called "A B C" school
friends, who died in Hodgenville in Kentucky, only
four years ago, took pride_ to the last in exhibiting
several letters from the President urging the old
time friend to pay a visit to the White House, but
unfortunately circumstances never accorded this
privilege to the good old friend. Certain it is that
the great President never forgot his first home nor
his early school days in Kentucky short though they
were, nor lost his love for them.
The friendships of school days may mean much
to us in other ways. It is not only in the pages of
fiction that the young man has been given an exceptional opportunity because his father was a friend of
his employer, who sees in the son the qualities which
endeared the father to him. It very often occurs in
How we should strive to "make
actual life.
good" not only that we may not disappoint our
own school friends, but the friends and schoolmates of our parents whom we may be sure arc
watching us and are interested in our success even
more than we realize.
It is in our school days too that we make our acquaintances with history and literature, and all the
good and great men and women that the world has
known. Their lives, the very best that is in them, is
given us in their works. We here form habits of
reading and research, and all the great and good of
�past. times may be our friends if we will but make
them so.
A man is known by his friendships, whether they
are school; social or of the business world, or whether
it be his friendships of the study. The business man
seeing you habitually in the company of those not
noted for industry or for holding a position, naturally thinks that you are not much given to work, or
are of the same stripe. Your friends and your employer know, too, whether you make friends of your
books. The employer that you want to work for
takes notice of all these things, and upon the fact of
how he finds them and your resultant increase in
value, because you do take the right advantage of
your friendships and books and opportunities, depends your advancement.
Think of the hosts which are coming forth from
our schools and colleges—more efficient will they be
than the standing armies of Europe. 'Tis the army
of the Republic, to fight its battles for good Government, and defend its valor upon land and sea if need
be, making possible the land of Friendship and
Brotherly Love.
We need never fear for the future of our Republic
while there continues to go forth from our schools
and colleges this loyal band, liberty-loving, unselfish,
keen.to try for the positions of life, but loyal to each
other and dedicated to a "square deal."
"Fortify your life with many friendships."
Make new friends, but do not neglect your sduuol
friends. Do not forget the old friendships.
As Bryant says:
"Break not an ancient friendship,
Keep it hale;
Stir around its roots, that it be green of heart;
Let not the spirit of its youth depart.
It is a power to brave the strongest gale."
In later years when you take from your book case
this treasured record of the past and turn its leaves,
it will remind you of associations that are tender
and reminiscences that are. rich ; and in whatever
avocation or trade or profession you may be, do not
forget the interests of your Alma Mater.
You will very materially increase the large and
rapidly growing body of alumni. Yours is the largest class that has ever graduated from the Traverse
City High School. Do what you can to have the
old interest reassert itself and to bring about the time
when we as Alumni will have an annual function in
keeping with the school work.
ROBERT E. WALTER, "00."
�DISTRICT ORATORICAL CONTEST
HE Fifth District oratorical contest was held at Reed City, Friday evening, April 12,
1907. Eight schools were represented, namely, Reed City, Frankfort., Shelby, Cheboygan, Harts Cadillac, Gaylord and Traverse City. The contest was one of the
best ever held in this district, and every speaker showed exceptional talent.
"The Lower Lights," the oration written and delivered by Oscar E. Amtsbuechler as the
representative of the local High school, drew third place in the contest. This shows considerable work on the part of Mr. Amtsbuechler, as it was only a few weeks before, that lie
decided to enter the contest. The fact that he took third place in the contest is good evidence' of his ability. This is the first time that our II igh school has ever been represented,
and the result should be encouraging to those who in the future represent our school in
these contests.
Mr. 0. E. Amtsbuechler was accompanied to Reed City by Professor Wiley, his critic on
composition and delivery.
"The Supremacy of Mankind," by Mr. Stanley Coors of Shelby, took first place, and
"Child Labor Reform," by Miss Ione Mitchell took second.
The judges on thought and composition were, Professors John Kelly and Lucy. A. Sloan
of Mt. Pleasant, and Principal C. G. Wade of Flint. The judges on delivery were Principal W. N. Ferris and Professor J. L. Felton of Big Rapids, and Superintendent R. S.
:Tosenhans of Manton.
T
�THE LOWER LIGHTS
BY OSCAR E. AMTSBUECHLER
A
T THE present day American society is composed of three classes; the very poor ; the
large middle class; and the aristocracy of
wealth. Throughout history, the record of events
in past centuries reveal the records of men ; men
who stand forth as beacon lights in the avenues of
time : men who threw the javelin at Marathon :
hurled the spear at Agincourt, and clashed the sword
at Waterloo. It is the men of the middle class who
have been predominant, and it is from their ranks
that step forth the men of genius, men of originality,
and men of self-reliance; men who have dared to do,
and say, what is right and just, thus bringing about a
higher civilization..
Turn back, if you will, the pages of history and
determine upon what the basis of government rests.
The laws that were gathered together by Moses, have
stamped their imprint upon future generations. They
have opened blind eyes and deaf ears. They have
given to Caesar, Justinian, and Napoleon those constitutional principles which have enlightened the
world and have caused the mighty throng of common
people, who were under oppression, to rise up and
assert their rights in accordance with those principles.
England, in the thirteenth century, led the world
in this respect. Was not the Great Charter precious
to her people? How they have. clung to the rights,
which it gave them, as a warrant to their safe-guard
and their liberties! How they have willingly sacrificed their lives to prove that might is not right, and
supreme power lies not with one man! It was the
common people, who forced the tyrannical kings to
renew and confirm its provisions, and swear solemnly
to observe that sacred document.
France, in the sixteenth century, was a land of
confusion and strife, due to the struggle of the
nobility for a world Empire. But the nobility did
not control France. It was the common people, who
were the back-bone of that nation. To them, and to
them only, could the Grand Monarch turn for aid
to build his magnificent courts, and carry on his
countless wars, and when the life-blood—the wealth
�of the country— was sapped out, France lay desolate
and bleeding at the feet of Europe.
Not to Europe alone did personal liberty prevail.
It sought the confines of the forest, the hamlet, and
the town of our America. The people and statesmen
on our 'own Atlantic coast were laying the foundation
of tHeirlittle
colony deep and strong enough for an
Empire. _Hancock, Otis, Adams, Franklin and
Henry, those men who builded better than they knew,
were conducting for 4, common people that great debate by Thigh the Revolution was assured, before
the firSt.glin vas fired, "which was heard around the
world." But the Revolution itself was yet to be
fought. All depended upon these common people.
They were to make the armies, control social life,
and guide 'the destinies of a nation.
And finally,
the demands ,of, the people were fulfilled by the
unanimous adoption of, that bond, "The Declaration
of Independenee,"7hich is and should be held sacred
by.every American citizen.
Now it is from the common people that this
glorious nation has taken her heroes, heroes who are
the brain and brawn of modern times. Here we find
men who have not only worked for riches,but also for
the benefit and welfare of a nation. Our greatest
statesmen, inventors and mechanics have risen from
humble parentage. Daniel Webster, a world-famed
orator, stood firm in the cause of the "Union." This
man has become an ideal to many of the people, because self-aggrandizement and glory was not his aim.
He labored zealously to make and preserve "Liberty
and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable."
Our sixteenth president, Abraham Lincoln, whose
name is recorded in history, sculptured in marble,
enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen, and whose
memoirs will live as long as mankind, is a type of
man who has reached the citadel of fame through
determined effort and perseverance.
He was the
father of the slaves and the guardian of his country.
From the commonest laborer he arose step by step,
filling each position as if his life depended upon it,
until he reached the highest position that his country
could give—the presidency of the United States.
Thus the rail-splitter of Kentucky and Illinois, becomes the "First American."
Likewise some of the greatest inventive geniuses
owe their allegiance to the middle class. Thomas
A. Edison, the greatest inventor of the present
century has worked his way up the ladder of prominence. From a newspaper boy he climbed upward
�until today he stands shoulder to shoulder with any
of the eminent men. He has not become great in the
twinkling of an eye but through long, and hard
laborious effort and tenacity. His work is as large
as his country and as enduring as time. He is fulfilling a mission for which he has evidently been
chosen by the Supreme will.
This is the place that the common people of our
country today hold ; they are the corner stone of our
country's foundation. The perpetuity and progress
of this nation depend upon the development of the
middle class.
The agriculturist in his routine holds a position of
great importance. Ever since the landing on American shores he has toiled and endured more than a
king who wields a scepter and sways an Empire. He
has fought against tyranny and monarchy; he has
sown peace and liberty about him. With unceasing
diligence he has pushed his way westward. He has
changed the abodes of beasts and savages into beautiful sites and dwellings for men. From the Atlantic
to the Pacific he has transformed vast tracts of forest
into fields of waving grain and sunny pastures. And
today under our own form of government, he stands
supreme, possessing that priceless gift, personal liber-
•
ty. Today the agriculturist is the leader in the industries. So remarkably has he advanced in the
ranks of men that now he could control and command
the tide of affairs for he produces the articles necessary for existence of the human ram. Thus he becomes a strong link in a powerful chain of producers
and consumers.
The foreman of a mill or factory is not the most important figure. It is the man at the planer; the man
at the lever; the man standing at the anvil, who has
attained a high degree of excellence in performing
his work satisfactorily who turns the wheels of progress. Day after day, these men can be seen going
to their work, to toil through long weary hours; yet
occupying an important position amid human activities. And when the labors of the day have ended,
they return home, their faces covered with dust and
lint; some distressed, others happy; not realizing
that they have accomplished something for the benefit of humanity.
Of no less importance is the merchant, the great
factor in commercial life. He is the axis of businekss.
The products of the soil and of the factories are sent
throughout the world by him. As an honest citizen
he transacts business between two of his fellow-men;
�thus becoming the connecting link between man and
man, locality and locality, nation and nation.
From this class there has come yet another important character, the soldier. Whoever has been willing
to leave home and friends and sacrifice his own life,
is worthy of our praise. He has taken up arms in the
cause of his country. He has taken stand behind the
guns awaiting the signal for the onset. Instead of
enjoying the pleasures and comforts at home, he has
chosen the din and havoc of war. For the sake of his
country; for the sake of his dear people, rich or
poor, he has been willing to lay his life upon the
altar of freedom.
Now who is the man, who makes kings and
potentates bow ? Who is the man who rises up today
and causes the world to respect him ? Who is the man
that speaks and all ears are turned ? None other than
he, who represents the people, who works from sunrise till sunset, contributing his achievements to the
world's civilization.
Honer then, to the man with the hoe, at the anvil,
at the desk, and truly can the giver of all good gifts
say, "Well clone thou good and faithful servant, thou
bast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many."

�THE FATE OF ANNANIAS
D
"Oh, shut up!" says Annanias,
"Ain't I gone and give a lot?
Sure I give a tenth, and then some,
Nearly half, as like as not."
He and wifey came a hiking
To the temple long ago,
And the High Priest says to 'Nina,
"Come, old boy, cough up the dough."
Say! he was an awful liar,
Hadn't only give a dime;
But the Lor', He was a watching
And He caught 'Nias that time.
"Nov look here," says Annanias,
"I have got to pay my board
And I've dropped all I intend to,
All I really can afford."
So He smote that Annanias,
And his wife, Saphira, too,
And if you don't quit your lying
You can see what's due to you.
"But the Lord," goes on the High Priest.,
"Says you've got to give some more;
Give one tenth of all your doolieks
Or he'll surely make you sore."
So be careful what you tell of,
And don't ever tell a lie,
Unless you are good and ready
And'your mind's made up to die.
L. W. P.
ID you ever hear the story
Of that Annanias guy?
He is gone but not forgotten;
He's the sport that told the lie.

�DRAWING
T
IIE drawing this year has been carried on at a disadvantage, the
class hours being after school. Our first work was out-of-door
sketching. This work continued as long as the weather permitted. After we were forced to go inside we did mostly copy work with
pen and ink. Some time was also given to perspective drawing. To the
regret of the teacher and scholars we were unable to do any color work,
on account of the late hour of the drawing class. Before Christmas we
also did a great deal of drawing from objects. The work of the first
semester was ver: i,,teresting, and the pupils were sorry when the
time came to give •it up for mechanical drawing_ The work required
much more time, but it was of such a practical nature that the students
did not lose interest.
The Mph School should have a reT.ular graded course in drawing.
As it is now, the same line of work is followed each year, hence little
advancement can be made in the subject. In many High Schools
drawing is or a par with other subjects and a special room is set aside for
ruom pt.
it. If this school had such a course, the pupils would be able to develop their talent for art.
OL:trel
Art should be encouraged. There is in art a strain of the beautiful—that which is uplifting
in its influence.
Keats once said in immortal verse—
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty—that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know."
It is to be hoped that in the near future drawing will occupy its proper place in the High School course.
The rapid progress made during the past year is due to the earnestwork of Miss Pratt, the teacher, through
whose untiring effort the drawing work has been so interesting and successful.
�COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
• -7-7-
f=z
___
0 \ E of the most important of the High School courses is the Commercial. It is here that the
pupil many times gets his first ideas of business, and as often his entire business training is confined to the instructions received in this course. The tendency of the average course is to draw
the pupil from real complicated problems of the outer world, and to limit him too much to the few subjects
he has chosen in the school. But the Commercial is a departure from conventional ideas as to what should
constitute a High School course and has already proved its worth by qualifying many students for successful careers in the commercial world.
This line of study includes, in addition to the primary essentials, shorthand, thorough instruction in
book-keeping and its accessories, commercial law, arithmetic, and penmanship.
These with the addition of
English, which is required form a nucleus around which the other factor of success, experience, will gather
to form that perfect whole, the successful business man.
Much of the success of this course may be credited to the ceaseless energies of Mr. Ruggles. He has
raised the standard of the department and aroused the interest of his pupils to an extent that could bespeak
nothing but success to his students.

�BY JOHN WONZER
HEN we ask what electricty is, we are answered: "a disturbance in the ether." If
we ask how light is transmitted from the
sun to the earth; or what magnetism is, we get the
same mysterious answer to both (Iaerie:3 "ether."
What, then, is this so-called inevitable ether. Indeed,
the science of the twentieth century has reached the
brink of the world of mystery.
Ether is the substance, be it gas or fluid, that permeates everything. It makes the universe a whole.
It utterly disregards the law of impenetrability of
matter and is not only around everything, but sur-
rounds the very molecules of all substances. It has
many qualities that make it seem imponderable. For
instance we cannot conceive of anything being between the molecules of a bar of iron. Yet our
modern scientists say that each molecule is surrounded by ether. Neither can we conceive of anything
as being unable to impede motion. But ether has
not this power. It has the properties of an ideal
gas—in this respect, the premium mobile. Although
it cannot resist motion, ether has the power of transmitting it in the form of light and energy from the
sun, and magnetic influences from the solar bodies.
�But what have we arrived at? Do we know, now,
any more as to what ether really is? Some one defines it as a highly rarefied and elastic medium
agitated by perpetual motion. How indefinite this
is! All we can say definitely about it is that it is
the vehicle of light, electric, and magnetic waves;
it permeates all matter, yet is not a vacuum, and we
know only as much as is definitely proven of it.
Nearly all the phenomena of the physical and chemical sciences are attributed to this mysterious, allprevading, baffling substance---ether.
EVOLUTION
BY JOHN WONZER
W
H must admit that perfection is reached
only through development or evolution.
The grand solar system, the wonderful
prod tic( ions of science, great works of literature, did
not any of then► spring forth full grown, as did
Minerva from the head of Jove.
Darwin, Kepler, and LaPlace were not the first
to voice the principles for which they are famous.
The world was not ready for those principles until
they, presented them. Why did not a Shakespeare
appear at the time of Chaucer'? Because the language had not developed enough; had not become fit
for a Shakespeare's use, nor was the age ready for
him. There must be development in everything. La
Place stated in his nebular hypothesis that the celestial world is the result of an evolution. Newton's
discovery, or rather investigation, of the attraction
of gravity was not new. Men had knowledge of it
before. He only developed that knowledge_ Even
in Vergil's writings we find certain elements of the
evolution theory. So we see that Darwin's "Theory
on the Evolution of Man" is not new. It is an outgrowth, the development of many centuries.
Evolution enters into and determines our social
and economic conditions. Greece fell, to be
superseded by Rome, which in time fell, to give place
to the Teutons, and so it has continued down through
time until today we find the Anglo Saxon race "the
race of the world." Grandest of all, the United
States stands above all other nations in nearly every
line of development. She is the survival of the
fittest. Economically, socially, scientifically, and
even in present day literature she stands supreme.
�LIQUID AIR
A
BY GLEN CODMAN
FEW years ago C. E. Tripler invented an
apparatus for the production of liquid air
in large quantities. Before this, air had
been liquified only in small amounts and at great
expense, but by Tripler's device it was produced at
a very small cost and in abundance.
Tripler made use of great pressure, and the compressed air itself to reduce the temperature sufficiently low. The ordinary air was first filtered to free it
from foreign matter, like dust, and then put through
a triple compresser. The enormous pressure of
2,500 pounds to the square inch was applied. Pressure raised the temperature of the air so it was then
passed through a cooler which reduced it to-220 degrees F., the point at which air begins to liquify.
From the cooler the air is passed through a peculiar
valve surrounded by a felt vessel. Some of the compressed air is allowed to escape into this surrounding
cup. It expands and in doing so -necessarily absorbs
heat from the air in the valve. So low does this reduce the temperature—as low as 312 degrees below
zero F.—that the air liquifies and can be drawn
off by a stopcock.
Recently Piscet, a French chemist., devised a much
simpler process. At the Royal Academy of London,
he illustrated his method with a hand pump and a
coiled tube or worm placed in a Dewar tube containing liquid air. He simply pumped air at a pressure
of fifteen pounds through the worm immersed in
liquid air and it came out liquified. This method
requires a small amount of liquid air to begin with,
but when the process is once started, the loss by
evaporation is supplied by a return tube, while the
remaining product is collected either in felt lined
vessels or in double walled glass vessels called Dewar
flasks. The space between the walls of the Dewar
flask is a partial vacuum. Radiant heat will not
pass readily through a vacuum, and hence the liquid
does not immediately turn to a gas again.
Many startling experiments may be performed
with this peculiar bluish liquid. A sponge dipped
into a glass of liquid air explodes the instant it is
�lighted. A tea kettle of liquid air boiling on a hot
stove is covered with frost. On removing the kettle
to a cake of ice, the frost disappears but the liquid
continues to boil. If a few ounces of the air be
poured into a thick walled copper tube, a plug
driven firmly in with a hammer will be almost
immediately forced out with great violence. This
illustrates the explosive power of liquid air. A rubber ball placed in the liquid becomes exceedingly
brittle and flies to pieces on being thrown against a
wall. There are innumerable other experiments just
as interesting and surprising that may be performed
with this wonderful liquid.
Liquid air has not yet assumed a very great
practical value, although it can be used to advantage
in several ways. It has been used as a cooling
agent; it may be used as a motive power on account
of its enormous expansion; it is a good explosive for
the same reason. Experiments made to determine
its effect on bacteria, show that it is not a germ destroyer. In the practice of surgery liquid air is used
as a local anaesthetic, the only danger being that the
part subjected may freeze. It has been used in the
treatment of sciatica and neuralgia, relieving the
pain almost immediately. Liquid air gives charcoal
great absorbing power by reducing its temperature.
It is thought that this will enable the chemist to
eliminate, some of the rarer elements, as xenon,
krypton and argon.
Great possibilities may be in store for the liquid,
but that is for the future to prove.
�LOCALS
SENIOR SLEIGH-RIDE
I T was a warm winter night and the ground
covered with a soft snow, gave promise of good
sleighing. The Shilson House was the busy
rendezvous of a large number of Juniors and Seniors
who were going to Silver Lake to have a good time.
Promptly at seven thirty a large sleigh stopped at
the door and in less time than it takes to tell it, was
filled as full as any can of good sardines. Another
sleigh came, and still another, and they started off
with their noisy human freight.
The ride was uneventful except for a few cold feet
and the barking farm dogs along the road. At last
the welcome lights of the pavillion were seen. The
rigs were emptied almost before they stopped and
the place was taken as if by storm. Some huddled
about the stoves while others at once took the floor
and music as a means of getting warm. Besides
dancing, games were indulged in and refreshments
were served.
Early in the morning evidence of fatigue became
apparent, and at about two o'clock, the young folks
again took the sleighs. The return had much of the
romantic element in it. Two of the rigs took the
main road while the third went by way of the old
logging road through the woods. The moon had
gone t., 1-- ,t and as number three emerged from the
little patch of woods into the main road, the
passengers' blood froze within them as they saw
quietly moving down the hill, a long procession of
dark figures. Some were arm in arm, others alone,
some gesticulating wildly and others were seemingly
sad. For a long time those in the sleigh looked on
in silence and awe, but finally someone found nerve
enough to shout. Immediately the long procession
came to a halt and a chorus of almost human voices,
frozen so that they cracked, cried out for aid. The
horses were urged on a little faster and soon came
up with the weird band on the hillside. After much
excited explanation the band made it understood
that rig number two had slipped over an embankment
at the top of the hill, due to the inability of the
�driver to handle the horses and
. As there was
no room in number three, the poor Seniors were left
to walk until number two had been righted and
had overtaken them.
About four A. M. Traverse City was aroused from
slumber by the loud shouting of three sleigh-loads
of happy humanity. The lonely policeman on the
corner resumed his beat with a malicious grunt at
being disturbed at such an hour.
JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION
0 v THE evening of Feb. 1 s, nearly every
member of the Senior and Junior classes
met at the City Opera House for the annual reception to the teachers. The opera house had
been prettily decorated for this, the most elaborate
event of its kind ever held under the auspices of the
local High School. The colors of both classes and
the dear old "Black and Gold" were used to good
effect for decorating as were also many beautiful
penants. After a well rendered program, dancing
was indulged in until a late hour. Music was furnished by Horst's five-pines orchestra and dainty refreshments were served at Jackson's ice cream
parlors.
SENIOR SPREAD
During the noon hour one day in
Prof.
Davis gave the Senior girls permission to use the
physics laboratory for their annual spread to the
ever hungry boys of the class. This was granted
under the condition that the skeleton be fed what
was left. Many goodies were produced and the
skeleton had prepared a mighty appetite for the leavings. But the naughty sevens ate up everything except the wooden dishes. As none of the eminent
chemists of the class had yet perfected their system
of converting wood fiber into cellulose the poor
skeleton had to go hungry.
On the thirteenth of March, 1907, Eddie Fellers entertained the Physics class by one of the
most death defying, danger deriding, dare-devil
stunts ever witnessed by mortal man. He actually
masticated and consumed one fly.
It was a rainy day early in spring after the snows
of winter had melted and formed a young lake on the
streets and sidewalks. Mr. Nye was carefully picking his way to school over the icy sidewalks. Meeting a couple of Juniors he said, "Good morning.
It's a good day for ducks. Tsn't it?"
�R
LEWIS CASS DEBATING CLUB
66
ELIGION, morality and knowledge being
necessary to good government and the
happiness of mankind, schools and the
means of education shall forever be encouraged."
Our forefathers struck the keynote of the excuse
for the existence of the whole public school system,
when they incorporated this clause in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The only reason why the
state has the right to tax all the people for the
benefit of the few who send their pupils to the public
schools is because of the well established fact that
knowledge is necessary to good government
.
To say that Michigan has followed out this clause
would hardly express the way that she has ever protected and fostered her public school system. From
the management of the smallest district school to
the management of our magnificent University,
Michigan ranks among the foremost. Michigan is
the foremost. But what has she to show as the result
of this fine school system ? It is true that she can
neither be called the mother of the presidents nor
claim to be the home of many prominent statesmen.
But she can claim to be something of vastly greater importance. She can claim to be the home
of many intelligent, patriotic citizens of the United
States and her past history will be sufficient evidence
to prove this assertion.
As our school system develops and as the mode of
teaching becomes more complex we are apt to forget
the original purpose of the public school. This is
particularly true in the cities and especially in the
High Schools where there is very little said concerning patriotism and good government outside of the
history and civics classes. As many of the students
do not take these subjects it is but natural that they
should know but little about our government or the
problems which now confront the nation. It is for
this reason that an organization like the Lewis Cass
debating club is of particular importance in our
High School.
All the members of the debating club do not intend to become politicians, statesmen or orators, but
each and every one of them does expect to become
honest and conscientious citizens of our great republic. As such they must at times take part in deliberative assemblies. It was with this idea in mind
that the debating club was organized.
The club is run under approved parliamentary
rules and each member has an opportunity to act as
�chairman at. some of the meetings. Programs are
made out by a committee elected for that purpose.
These programs consist of debates on live up-to-date
topics of general interest., current events, and declamations. In this way the members not only have an
opportunity to discuss important topics in an orderly
way, but also to keep in touch with the progress of
the world through the curent events and have also an
opportunity to study, give and hear delivered, different masterpieces of oratory.
Besides these benefits there is much practical
knowledge to be gained in such a club. There is
probably no stronger argument for the existence of
such a club than the fact that nearly every person
who takes part in such work is more than willing
to say that he has been well repaid for the time
spent there.
May the Lewis Cass Debating club continue to be
as successful in the future as it has since it was
organized two years ago. And may the members become as loyal citizens of the United States and
"Dear Old Michigan" as was the distinguished personage after whom the club has been named.

MOCK
TRIAL
HE annual session of the ( 'ircuit Court of the
High School was hold in the assembly room
of the High School on the evening of April
the fifteenth. The case was "The People vs. Lars
Hockstad, forgery." It was alleged that Ilockstad
forged Ernest Miller's name to an order for twentythree cents and presented it to Julius Martinek for
payment. The defense was handled by Elbe Johnson and the prosecution by Arthur Lederle. The
following were chosen for the jury: Prof. Wiley,
Arthur Spencer, Lester Simpson, Robert Foster,
'Harold Jahraus, and Heiman Coplan. After the
evidence was all in, the attorneys made their pleas to
the jury, which were exceptionally good. Oscar
Aintsbuechler in the position of judge cmrried off
the work very well, indeed, and his charge to the
jury was better than many heard in the actual court
room. After the jury had remained out for about
five minutes, they returned and rendered a verdict
of not guilty.
Spiegle discovered that there were pretty girls in
Reed City as well as in East Jordan.
�L
EAST JORDAN DEBATE
ATE in January East Jordan high School
sent a challenge to our high School for a
joint debate to be held at that place on
February 15. This was referred to the Lewis Cass
Debating Club, that organization being the hub
around which events of . that character centered.
They decided to accept the challenge and chose the
affirmative side of the question as East Jordan stated
it, "Resolved: That President Roosevelt was right
in his attitude on the San Francisco-Japanese school
question, it being granted that it was his intention
to force the San Francisco authorities to allow the
Japanese in the public schools under the same conditions as the white children."
After much preliminary debating in which most
of the members of the debating club and several from
the school competed, a team composed of Vera Wynkoop, Oscar Amtsbueehler and Arthur Lederle was
chosen to represent the school. After much study
on the question and after awakening the skeleton in
the chemical laboratory from his reveries, in rehearsing their speeches, they started for East Jordan accompanied by Mr. Nye.
On arriving at East Jordan they were met at the
depot by several of the teachers and students of that
place and were escorted to their homes where they
were to he entertained. "Judge" Lederle, however,
had fallen in with good company and started off for
somewhere, he didn't seem to care where. All the
lusty yells of Mr. Nye and "Spiegle" and the merry
laughter of the rest of the group did not disturb
"his honor" and he kept strolling along until
"Spiegle" caught lip with him and with a firm grasp
on his shoulders cruelly made the "Judge" realize
that lie was still on earth.
The Lovedav opera house, where the debate was
held was well filled with an interested audience. The
program opened with several musical numbers and
a short address by Mr. Masselink. Mr. Mopus of
East Jordan, acted as chairman and Professor Masselink of Big Rapids, Superintendent Beardsley of
Alba, and Superintendent Kennedy of Boyne Falls,
as judges.
Mr. Lederle opened the debate with a short story
of the question under discussion and also reviewed
Secretary Metealfs report on the same.
Mr.
Turner, of East Jordan, followed with many
good arguments which seemed to justify the action
�of San Flancisco's school board. Mr. Amtsbuechler
on the affirmative next brought out very forcibly the
fact that San Francisco's school board had violated
a national treaty by discriminating between the Japanese and other foreigners, thus making it. the duty
of President. Roosevelt to interfere. Miss McRe , of
East Jordan, then very carefully showed that although there were over forty different provisions in
the treaty referred to, nothing was said concerning
education. Miss Wynkoop of Traverse City, then
followed with a mighty plea for Mr. Roosevelt. In
this well delivered plea Miss Wynkoop showed that
President. Roosevelt was undoubtedly right in this
matter as he had been on many other important occasions when he had been severely criticized by the
people around him. Miss Stewart then summed up
East Jordan's arguments and eloquently showed that
Mr. Roosevelt was over zealous in trying to get
special priviliges for the Japanese which even the
negroes in the southern states do not enjoy. Mr.
Turner then closed East Jordan's debate by aiming
his leveling sarcasm at the leading statement of the
affirmative. Mr. Lederle closed the debate of the
affirmative in a well planned rebuttal. In his zeal
to show how they had proven their side of the question and how East Jordan's arguments were not
well founded, he spoke until the chairman had
thrice called "time" and while Mr. Fuller, East
Jordan's superintendent of schools was nervously
looking at his watch and trying to figure out just
how much longer he would have to talk before their
debate would be lost.
After another musical number, Mr. Masselink
arose and after stating that it was very difficult for
him to come to a decision in the matter and that he
felt that it was the same with the other judges, announced the decision of 2 to 1 in favor of the negative.
The East Jordan people made it so pleasant for
the visitors the remaining time they spent there, that
our debating team did not realize that they were
defeated until they saw the account of the debate in
a Grand Rapids paper while returning on the train.
It was then that they decided to find their way home
from the depot by the familiar back streets.
�MR. HORNBECK, JR.
0 N Saturday, the sixteenth day of March,
a
little St. Patrick arrived at the home of
Professor Hornbeck. As all appearances
to stay, the event, of
indicated that he had come
course, had to be duly celebrated. Accordingly the
Senior girls took this duty upon themselves.
Monday morning dawned bright and clear. Packages of all shapes and sizes found their way to the
library. These were soon untied and duly prepared,
but the girls, on looking into the chemical laboratory,
found to their dismay that Mr. Hornbeck had not
arrived. All hope of his coming was given up, and
the mysterious contents of the packages were laid
away. But as the last bell began to ring Mr. Hornbeck came bounding up the stairway wearing the
smile that wouldn't come off.
Everything was again made ready and chapel was
called. After a few appropriate remarks by Mr.
Nye, the gentle strains of "Sweet and Low" resounded through the halls and corridors. It may be
safely said that no song was ever sung with so much
feeling as that one on that morning.
Almost at the close of chapel Mr. Hornbeck was
presented with the contents of those packages. Sticking out of his pockets were little shovels, dolls, tin
swords, and whistles, while his arms were full to
overflowing. The squeaking of a little clown startled
him so that when, three times three lusty yells were
followed by cries of "Speech !" "Speech !" he was
unable to respond. At noon Mr. Hornbeck reported
that his son and heir was very much pleased with
the toys.

That's the hardest work, I know.

Can't go down to the skatin' rink,—
Can't take time to catch your breath,
Almost work yourself to death!

But the hardest work in the world, to do,
Is huntin' "Logs" and "Cosines" too.

To have him come and take our parts.

��WHY ATHLETICS SHOULD
BE ENCOURAGED
A
TIILETICS, as carried on in our high
School, are nothing more or less than physical education, and should be under the direction of an instructor. True physical education is
not designed to develop physical prodigies or great.
athletes, but. rather to attain three results:
1st.: To secure strength, vitality, health, and endurance.
2nd: To develop the carriage of the body.
3rd: To develop self control.
Athletics are the expression, in play, of the
natural desire of youth for activity and exercise.
They are, therefore in no way vicious and should be
encouraged. They develop courage, endurance,
loyalty, obedience, alertness, daring, natural manliness, which are essentials to success, and which every
young man and young woman should possess. Physical training or physical education is an important
factor in life, and every boy and girl should take
more or less exercise. It is vigor and power that lie
at the foundation of all forms of success in the
varied lines of life. The period of life spent in
school is the time to develop boys and girls into men
and women, who will be physically, morally and
intellectually able to govern this great nation.

TRACK TEAM
ARLY in the spring of '0(1 Oscar lints]);welder
was elected captain of the track team. A
meeting of the candidates was called and
about twenty-five responded, who were all eager to
help in turning out a winning team. After a general
discussion and remarks as to training and dieting, it,
was suggested that Mr. Stilson be engaged as coach.
Mr. Stilson, being a professional very highly recommended in the line of track work, the boys decided
to procure his services.
The last week of April, the boys in track suits
with their coach in the lead, jogged up Pine street to
the commons where they received their first instructions. All were eager to make the team and it was
through their eagerness, their faithfulness and
loyalty to the coach,that the team acquired the highest proficiency ever attained in the history of our
High school. At the try out, Charles Hodge,
Harold Titus, Ed Fellers, Oscar Amtsbnechler,
Ernest, Miller, Robert Walker, George Whiting,
Ralph Hunter, Willard Getchell, Roy McGarry, and
Leon Slater were chosen to represent, us in the interscholastic meets.
The first was a dual meet with Manistee held in
this city on May 14. The score of 89 to 48 in our
favor showed what faithful training had done for
our team.
Two weeks later the large interscholastic meet
took place at Charlevoix. Five schools eontested, viz: East Jordan, Petoskey, Cheboygan,
Charlevoix and Traverse City. Our team was in the
best possible condition and left for Charlevoix the
day before the meet, with the coach and several
rooters, expecting to see the Black and Gold floating
uppermost after the contest. Their plans, however,
did not turn out as expected. Charlevoix took first
with 54 1-2 points. Traverse City, second with 52
1-2 points; Fast Jordan, 13; Cheboygan, 10; Petoskey 5. Mr. Miller of our team broke the record of
Northern Michigan in the 220 yard dash, making it
in 22 2-5 seconds. Although defeated, our team returned home satisfied that they had honestly and
fairly contested.
On account of financial conditions this meet ended
the season, with the exception that Mr. Miller and
Mr. Amtsbueehler went to the United States inter-
�scholastic i.ieet at Chicago. Luck did not turn their
way and they came home without having won any
honors. Their trip was not, however, devoid of benefit. They saw how track work is carried on in other
parts of the TT. S. The good effects of their trip is
evident in their work this spring.

A
FOOT-BALL TEAM
NOTHER High School football team has gone
on record. The team of 1906 has played its
last game; trotted down Pine Street to the
gridiron for the last time together ,and for the last
time will the same voices make the old dressing room
ring with rollicking songs as the boys shiver under
the shower bath.
The '06 football season was a very successful one.
The team failed to get far into the interscholastic
contest, it is true, hut, nevertheless, the two games
that they did play were fought in a manner that
provoked the praise of their opponents. Clean football, no:"beefing" and but one aim—to do their best
—have been the principles upheld by the defenders
of the black and gold who retire this season in a halo
of glory. The squad was light, but under the faithful coaching of H. A. Davis, they developed a speed
and running smoothness seldom seen in the High
School teams of Northern Michigan: Ninety-seven
points they scored in the ten games that made up the
season's schedule while the opposing players have a
total of fifteen points to their credit.
The backing the team received was of the best and
many points are due to the lusty yells of the rooters
who cheered the eleven on in the face of defeat. The
scrubs, too, did their share and in the early part of
the season, when the scrimmages counted for so
much, a dozen or more could be depended on at almost any time to root around in the sand and perfect
the machinery of the "first" team.
Captain Ed Fellers deserves much credit for
his official work (luring the season. Always confident, he has kept the spirits of his men up when
raids lay heavy against them and more than one
touch down dates back to his "Ginger up, fellows.
Tear 'em up. We've got 'em on the run now !" .
The prospects for next year are bright, although
several will be missing. "Spiegel" will swap the
pigskin for the sheephide and go to Olivet. Coplan
wil graduate and "Blink" Moore will probably go
away. This year was his post graduate year. Fellers
will complete his ecurse as will Miller, Chervenka
and Ludka.
Following is a summary of the games played:
•
�1—T. H. S. 0; Alumni, 0. 2—T. H. S. 6;
Alumni, 0. 3—T. H. S. 17; Manistee, 0. 4—T.
H. S. 10; Charlevoix, 0. 5—T. II. S. 0; Petoskey,
5. 6—T. H. S. 30; East Jordan, 0. 7—T. H. S.
0; Manistee, 0. 8—T. H. S. 16; Cadillac, 0. 9—
T. H. S. 10; Reed City, 10. 10—T. H. S. 8;
Athletics, 0.
Not a little credit for the success is due to Prin.
R. L. Nye. Ile backed the boys financially and offered his advice in all matters while his personal
enthusiasm has served as a stimulus to the players.
II. A. Davis is to be thanked for the team work
He has worked with the boys unceasingly and the
product of his labor is a team that has made a record
to Ix, proud of.

I REORGANIZATION OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION I
A
MEETING of all the students interested in
athletics was held in room 3, Dec. 7, '06, to
consider the adoption of a new constitution
for the Athletic association. Mr. Nye exposed some
of the defects in the old constitution and then read
a new one which he had drawn up himself. This
constitution, after some discussion, was adopted.
Another meeting was called Feb. 14, '07 for the
purpose of electing officers. Oscar Amtsbuechler and
Lars Hockstad, by unanimous vote, were obliged.to
retain their old offices of president and secretary.
The new officers elected were Ernest Miller as vicepresident, and Heiman Coplan as treasurer.
A Board of Managers, provided for in the new
constitution, was also elected at this meeting, R. L.
Nye, H. A. Davis, A. Lederle, J. Smith, and E. Fellers were chosen. This Board of Managers has complete control of all arrangements for scheduling of
games, management of same, and shall secure halls
or fields for practice; they are also responsible for
the revenues and expenses of the association. The
Board of Managers was the principal change under
the new constitution and under this new form of
management our association will be stronger and
more compact.
�FOOT-BALL BANQUET
T
HE annual banquet of the High school football team was held at the Little Tavern on the
evening of February 21, about twenty-five
members of the team and faculty being present. After the large juicy steaks had been stowed away in
true post-season form the evening was turned over
to Prof. Nye as toastmaster to make it what he
would. The election of captain came first and Roy
McGarry was unanimously elected to guide the team
of '07. Toastmaster Nye then called upon the following members: Prof. Davis on "1907 Football," Ex-
PROSPECTS OF
T
HE '07 track team will no doubt be a winner.
All except Charles Hodge of the '06 team are
in school and, with a fine squad of new material, prospects are very bright, indeed. Ernest Miller
our star sprinter, has been elected captain. Oscar
Amtsbuechler, our star weight man reports that the
hammer flew out "only" 140 feet this spring. But
he is not yet in training and only weighs a little over
200 pounds. (He's growing though). Mr. Davis,
Captain Fellers on "What We Did," Hoekstad on
"Football Financially," Miller on the "Benefits of
Athletics." Oscar Amtsbuechler told of experiences
in A. A. Stagg's National Interscholastic meet and
Smith spoke on the "Managerial end of Football." Titus then responded to "The Press in Football," and the toasts closed with a talk on "1907
Baseball," by Chervenka. Songs and stories occupied
some time and then the whole squad was carried off
to the moving-picture show by Captain McGarry.
'07
TRACK TEAM
the coach, has issued orders not to eat any cake,
cookies, candy, pork, peanuts, doughnuts, nor PIE.
We are confident of a team which will be able to
hold its own with any in Northern Michigan. Training commenced the third week in April. If we can
judge at all from the spirit which has already been
shown, there seems to be little reason why our hopes
shall not be realized.
�REMINISCENCES OF A T. C. H. S.
FOOT-BALL PLAYER
(6
J HEN I was young," quoth Sunny Jim,
"I sought by football, pies to win ;
The game we played for three long
months,
And in that time received hard bumps.
The bumps we minded not a bit,
When at the Palace we did sit;
Our hearts leaped wild with joy.
'Two pies apiece,' cried Davis then,
Great appetites have all my men,
And forthwith brought he to the rout
Pie after pie till the store gave out.
With satisfaction sat he down,
With football players all around
And many a tale of hard fought field
And touch-downs, then told he.
The air was dark and crisp that night,
And crisp also the pies,
When out they rushed with all their might
And rent the air with cries,
Along the street resounds the call
From many an alley-way and wall.
The people all rush forth to see
Whatever all the noise can be,
And see they, marching down the street,
H. H C.
The football boys with heavy feet. "
��THE AUTO
N
OW Easter is past us
And summer's at hand.
The hum of the auto
Is heard through the land.
Past byways it flashes,
Through fences it smashes,
Down the main street it dashes
Seeking things to destroy.
It chases the chickens,
It flattens out dogs,
It grinds up stray children
Among the steel cogs.
A squawking of whistles,
Like flocks of wild geese,
A smell like a gas plant,
A trail of burnt grease,
A glimpse of blue lightning,
A rattle and roar,
And the auto is past us,
Ten miles—perhaps more.
L. W. P.
�BOYS' BASKET BALL
4 IRLY last fall forms in scanty track suits
might have been seen running across the
school yard. They were the prospective member of a basket ball team. After a month or so of
Lard practice, Mr. Ruggles, the coach, considered the
boys in fair condition to play.
The faculty were challenged. A game was ar•
ranged to be played at Campbell's hall, Nov. 17, the
same night the girls had arranged for an inter-class
game. Both games proved very exciting. The game
between the faculty and the boys was especially so.
This was the first time that ba§ket ball was played
here by boys. These games presented a good opportunity to see the difference between girls' and
boys' basket ball. The scores were: faculty 11; boys
24; and Senior girls, 34; Sophomore girls, 14.
The boys were elated over the results of the game.
A challenge sent in by the Grand Rapids High
school was accepted. The expense of such a game
was. great, especially for a High school. But Mr.
Nye, with his characteristic good-heartedness and
liberality gave financial support. Great spirit was
shown in this game. Better support could hardly
have been given by the pupils. In spite of this the
game was a failure financially as well as in score,
which was 31 to 9 in favor of G. R. H. S.
Stander, the Grand Rapids center, was a wonder.
He threw nearly all the baskets for G. R. H. S., and
his guarding was excellent.
�FAREWELL
BY E. H. JOHNSON
AREWELL, farewell, kind friends and true
Our hearts, our hopes are all with you,
The tender thoughts and e'en the tears
Our parting brings,
But daily strengthen our resolve,
That through the fast approaching years,
The strifes and struggles they involve,
Our aim shall be toward higher things.
The road before is not untrod
To us alone the journey new,
But we are firm, our courage strong
And each encounter doth renew
The spirit of our onward song—
To better serve mankind and God.

EFORE bidding you a last farewell, we wish to express our thanks
to the members of the faculty and of the student body for their
good will and co-operation. We are indebted to Ezra Winters and
Frankie Chilton, for drawings, and to Smith & Price for photographic
work. The liberal patronage of Traverse City's business men has made
the financial department a success. We express our indebtedness to the

"BEST" FLOUR
Is so GOOD that it is nearly PERFECT
We would like to say perfect, but millers will make mistakes and grocers will store merchandise in unsuitable places.
But as nearly perfect as the wit of the miller and the brains of the grain buyer can make
it is this fine flour.
We got our reputation years ago by making "BEST"—the best flour every day as it is any
day, and as good flour any day as the best flour milled any where.
We stamp "BEST" on every sack because a good flour is worth a good brand..
Difference in quality is due to difference in policy. It is the policy of some to make good
flour and some to make cheap flour, but no such reputation as "BEST" has, was ever built on
cheap flour.
"BEST" flour is neither cheap nor high priced. It is just simply the best flour the miller
can make at the price it can afford to be sold at and you can afford to pay.
Buy one sack, keep from buying another if you can.

�FOREWORD
getting up this annual we have
INattempted
to show a true picture of High School life, ideals and
studies. We have attempted to
make the reader personally acquainted with the teachers and
members of the graduating class
and to show their characteristics.
The merchants and professional
men have contributed advertising
very liberally and it is thru this
means that we are enabled to present this book to the public. We
will consider it a favor if the people
will mention to our advertisers
that they have seen the advertisements, for it will help the next
class to get out their book. ,.,4 .4 ..:4

�The Faculty
R. L. NYE, PRINCIPAL
Mr. Nye is the personal friend of every student in the High
school. As a teacher in mathematics he Is certainly a success and
one of the noticeable things about him is that he very seldom has any
trouble with students in his classes about their markings, while a
great many of the other teachers do. He has always supported all
kinds of athletics and is a strong advocate of practice in public
speaking.
I Wish We Might Have Less Visiting.
FORDYCE B. WILEY, B. S.
Kalamazoo College and University of Chicago
Those who are best acquainted with Mr. Wiley have the highest
regard for him. He is very strict about order in his classes and insists on undivided attention, for he has no patienze with those who
try to get their credits without working fcr them. His success as an
English teacher needs no explanation fcr &lice he has been here our
school has won places in two oratorical contests.
Now I want it positively understood that there is to be no whispering.
H. N. HORNBECK, B. S.
hlichigan Agricultural College
The friend and advisor of every student in the High School. He
is thoroughly posted on a very wide range of subjects and when any
one is at a loss to know what to do. he always thinks of Mr. Hornbeck first. His success as a tea.:dier of Chemistry and Botany has
raised the standard of the High School quite an extent.
I Wish You Might Hear Dr. Kedzie Explain That.
H. A. DAVIS. A. B.
Olivet College
An all around good fellow and a good teacher who knows his
business and tends to it. An excellent foot ball coach and an advisor
in all kinds of athletics and sports. What more do you want?
This is the last time I am ever going to go over this.
�H. J. RUGGLES
Cleary Business College
Mr. Ruggles' work in the Commercial Department is one of the
features of the High School. A department of this kind is extremely important and is not the easiest thing in the world to manage, but
Mr. Ruggles has proved himself equal to the occasion.
There will be a lot of you doing the same work in here next year.
MARY McLAUGHLIN
Ypsilanti State Normal
Teacher in Mathematics, has been here longer than any other
teacher. Her success has given just occasion for her long stay
in this school, and any one who shows a reasonable amount of interest will find that she is one of the pleasantest teachers in the High
School.
Oh, such a boy!
ROSE C. HESS, Ph. B.
University of Michigan
Our congenial German teacher with a smile and a word of encouragement for every one. She has made a success in teaching which
has been equalled by few, and although she is not so strict about order as some of the others yet she commands the respect and attention of all the students with whom she comes in contact, and they
get more enjoyment out of the studies they have from her.
I'm so sorry you didn't understand it that way.
GRACE A. OSBORNE, A. B.
University of Michigan
most valuable acquisition to the High School faculty. Her
classes are remarkable for their order and attention, although Miss
Osborne herself does not seem to make any great effort to keep it.
She is well versed in anything which pertains to English or the History of English Literature and has always been willing to help us in
one way or another in the publi: ation of this annual.
For tomorrow take 116 pages in advance and commit to memory
pages 20 to 80. Now, is that clear?

One of the High School's best teachers is Miss Ferguson, an instructor in English and Ancient History. In her simple and unpretentations way she gives one a thorough course and makes plain all that
the subject contains. Miss Ferguson is strict about her work and requires her students to do their best; but she teaches with such a win-
�ning manner that it is a pleasure to be under her instruction. Her
presence is ever welcomed by the High School pupils.
I don't believe you understand my question.

Although but entering the High School this year, Miss Koenig has
won friends not only among the German and English students but
the High School as a whole. Her manner may sometimes impress
one as being too strict, yet we cannot help but admire her charming
personality. We are fortunate in securing the services of a German
born teacher who can without doubt give us the pure and correct
German accent.
Germany is the greatest nation in invention, science, education,
law, etc., etc., etc., etc., of the present day.
ELIZABETH BROWNSON, A. M.
Olivet College
Miss Elizabeth Brownson has been on the High School faculty
only a year, yet in that short time she has made herself admired and
respected by all, through her ability as a teacher and her character
as a woman. She is just and conscientious in her school work, and
always willing to assist wherever she can and by her example exerts a
good influence upon all with whom she comes in contact. Miss
Brownson is very thorough in grammar and construction work, and in
translation work encourages a striving for unity and an appreciation
of the passage as a whole.
I think Caesar had great confidence in his own ability.
�Class History
BY PEARL M. WILHELM
CHRONICLE I
1. And it came to pass in the reign of good king Nye, that a
young tribe of Traversians, about one hundred strong, directed their
steps toward a beautiful edifice called the Central High School.
2. And in this place they found many others, who scorned them
and called them Freshmen, and they were sore afraid.
3. But they heard a voice saying unto them, "I say unto thee,
be not afraid, for thou art about to enter upon great duties."
4. Directly all fear left the tribe.
5. A new spirit starred within them.
6. And they dared turn around and look upon their superiors and
shun their remarks.
7. And the teachers saw this spirit grow; to their sorrow.
8. For henceforth these youths and maidens did create much
disturbance.
9. This pleased the tribe, but many times they were sent from
the rooms of learning.
10. Through the whole year many joyous hours were spent.
11. But it came to pass that in the month of May, they did go
from this edifice of learning.
12. And they rejoiced greatly.
CHRONICLE II
1. After the summer had passed they again assembled there to
obey the laws of the king and his counsellors.
2. And they were renewed in spirit and prepared to labor.
3. And they were now called Sophomores,
4. After a few days they assembled in the court room and chose
a man named Pierson for their chief ruler; and a maiden named
Thacker to be vice-ruler.
5. And they did choose another man, named Palmer, to record
events, and a tax-gatherer chose they called Hobart.
�6. The recorder departed from this place of learning, whereupon the tax-gatherer did both record events and gather taxes.
7. And it came to pass that no taxes were gathered.
8. Also the chief left the tribe and thus the duties fell to the
maiden.
9. One day a proclamation was sent forth, calling the tribe together for the discussion of a sleigh-ride.
10. It was decided to have one.
11. And many times did the tribe assemble to make arrangements.
12. And many arrangements were made.
13. But while the tribe did thus consider, the snow melted.
14. Whereupon they set up a mighty wailing.
15. And it was called off.
16. And they sorrowed some more.
17. Henceforth they labored diligently, leaving all thoughts of
pleasure aside, and absorbing knowledge for the final exams.
18. Thus ended the second year in the school of knowledge.
19. And the tribe went forth with much rejoicing.
CHRONICLE III
1. When the tribe next assembled they were called Juniors, but
their number had diminished to eighty.
2. They were accustomed to the ways of the world and had gained much knowledge.
3. And it came to pass that the tribe did choose Julius Martinek,
chief ruler; Castle, vice-ruler; Mayme Sullivan, tax gatherer; and a
maiden named Mary (Kellogg) for recorder.
4. The Juniors and the Seniors did gather in the month of January, 1907, and did give a reception to their wise counsellors, and they
did shake their feet.
5. And there was much rejoicing.
6. The Seniors were great in their own eyes and they called the
Juniors slow.
7. But the Juniors smiled in their sleeves and held a great mass
meeting, at which they decided to heap coals of fire on the heads of
the Seniors.
�8. And they did meet much and decided to give the best reception to them that was ever given to a Senior Class.
9. And they did.
10. And the Seniors said that it was the best ever given since
the creation.
11. Previous to this a great strife had arisen between the Juniors
and Seniors about the class pennant.
12. And the Juniors tried to raise their pennant on the flag pole
but were prevented by the ever-wise Seniors.
13. And Jerry got ducked.
14. So the strife continued, but neither side gained a victory.
15. The Juniors did then challenge the Seniors to a "class rush"
to take place on the school lawn.
16. And after a great struggle, during which a number were
wounded and much clothing ruined, it was decided that the Juniors
had won.
17. Thus ended a very eventful year and the tribe left the school
to meet again after vacation.
CHRONICLE IV
1. Now the tribe again assembled and were very learned, and
were called Seniors.
2. The rulers chosen were: chief ruler, D. Castle; vice-ruler,
Don Bingham; tax-gatherer, Chas. Clement; recorder, Mayme Sullivan.
3. And it came to pass that an entirely different spirit prevailed
in the school of learning.
4. The ling and counsellors commanded that all fooling be left
aside, and that everyone should study.
5. And the Seniors, being a very obedient class, did as they were
commanded and studied diligently, and great were the results.
6. And it came to pass that thirty-five of them were considered
wise enough to enter upon the duties of the world.
7. And the class honors were given to a studious maiden named
Turner, and a youth named Hobart.
8. Thus the school year has drawn to a close and the tribe will
'always look back upon their school days in T. C. H. S. as the happiest ever spent.
�-:- Class Poem -:NELLIE M. THACKER
How dear to our hearts grow the hours spent in High School,
When fond recollections o'erflowing with joy,
Come crowding upon us with memories grown dearer
Of fellowship sweet, which no time can destroy,
And how dearly those memories come flooding about us,
When faced with the fact that our school days are few,
To the beloved old school house which must soon be without us,
As time now approaches, we must bid adieu.
'Twas happy and gay that first year of our training,
No tho't but enjoyment, no aim yet in view,
Yet modest at first, with timidity reigning,
No cares to surround us, no ideals to pursue,
But with passing of time did we scholars grown bolder
Return to the happiness of our second year there,
And often arousing the teachers' suspicions
Manifested ability to do and to dare.
And day after day as the moments sped onward,
We toiled ever upward e'er striving for gain,
Walking close in the footsteps of revered predecessors,
Our rewards unrestricted, our toils not in vain.
Tho' with all concentration intent upon learning
Yet with pleasures commingled, we drew near to our goal,
And now at the last in our fond retrospection
See blessings unnumbered unceasingly roll.
How many and dear are the friends we have won •here,
Our class mates, our comrades, in work and in play,
How dear are the ties which bind them all to us,
And which will continue to bind them for aye.
May the links of our friendship which were forged in the High
School,
Remain e're united, not in part but in whole.
May each one in his striving in the pathway to honor
Find full satisfaction when he reaches his goal.
And then, too, the teachers who daily have striven
To guide to the pathways of duty and truth,
With their gentle reproofs and their wise admonitions,
Have moulded and fashioned the form of our youth,
We will proudly remember thro' all time and all ages,
For to them •be all praise for good in the past,
And tho' oft it has seemed that the planting was futile
May the seeds sown in springtime yield rich harvest at last.
And now as the day, that last day, approaches,
When we leave forever these ancestral halls,
Our hearts become saddened, for we can linger no longer
Within the protection of thair sheltering walls.
How fondly we'll view that dear shrine of our labors,
Where daily we've come at the toll of the bell,
And tho' far removed from the loved habitation
Long will linger the memories of those we love well.
�Class Prophecy
BY HARRY HANSON
"
B
R-R-R-R" suddenly resounded upon my tympanum. It was
with some reluctance that I could believe that the rosy,
blushing aurora was upon me. But looking at my ever
worthy time keeper, I discovered to my horror that the small palm
was on the ten spot. With Herculean effort I sprang to my feet and,
presto change, quicker than it takes to tell it, I was a transformed
homo. Like 'Charles I, after Ms execution, I grasped for the comb and
proceeded to unsnarl my golden locks.
I looked for the mirror. There was none in sight. What was I to
do? The thought of presenting myself at breakfast table, before the
beautiful and fascinating Miss Turnstile without a semblance of a
balanced forelock was exasperating. I could not, I would not, I must
not, lose the first and possibly the only chance for marital life.
Something had to be .done. Perchance my future presented itself in
. the little closet at the right. I opened the door and with a cry of joy
I brought forth a mirror, the salvation of my life. Taking out my dilapitated nose applicant I dashed away the dust from this relic of the
prehistoric ages.
Thus my hopes were not in vain. I yet might hold the key to the fair
damsel's heart. But as I looked into the speculum, I saw other than
my .pilferous head. My own perspicacious ego at once developed the
theory, that a strange coalation of circumstances had happened, and
brought forth a miracle. A series of conjugate foci upon the spectrum
revealed to me the sight which for twenty long years had been the
object of my attainments.
The comb which I held in my hand snapped, when upon following
the development of the image like that of a photograph in the same
process, the forms of my old associates greeted my recondite self. With
a deathlike grip I clung to the miraculous reflector, as if some unknown power was ready to snatch away this first sight of those whom
I knew in the happy long ago.
As I gazed into this seeming emptiness I saw two persons singing
"Won't You Be Mine," as if mad into a large Victor phonograph. I
became interested. My very eyes seemed to be pulled from their sockets, when I beheld Harold Jahraus alias Moses Mulvey and Lucy Arner. My next look took the very breath from my lungs, when I beheld
on the stage at Dreamland C. Blackburn Castle, appearing before an
�enthusiastic audience in the one act play. "A Young Man m the
World."
Further down and I sank upon the chair. Between several loaves
of bloated bread stood Dean Hobart, an ideal model of human nature
worn down by the exertions of advertising " Fleichmann's Compressed
Yeast". And there coming down the broad estroda was a merry widow hat and a Mexican sombrero. The people stepped from their
path in horror as they passed.
Dorothy Larion and Charles Clement. Charlie is as tall as ever, and how Dorothy looks up to him!
My, my, but strange things do happen in this world. Old traditions
say that people who love should not live in glass houses. But here we
see the Honorable Don Bingham who is directing a gang of pavers,
and he has a pathmaster's badge on his coat. Next we come to Clara
Aemissegger who is teaching German in the Traverse City High
School.
Through the influence of former president Roosevelt, Jess Roscoe
and Jess Caldwell have secured a position with S. H. Knox & Co. on the
recommendation that two Jesses ought to make a good team, and I can
see them now in gingham aprons behind the counter.
As I look still farther there appears to my intense astonishment
two young and beautiful ladies, who are gracefully acknowledging the
appreciations of a small audience, for a program which they have just
finished. One of them is a soloist, and is accompanied by the other on
the piano. The announcement reads "Alward and Stearns," in a creation of their own.
Of late the evil habit of young men and women under the twenty
year mark, inhaling the night air after eight o'clock, has been steadily growing. Great force has been brought to bear upon the subject
and many of the older people have taken up the affair. Those whom I
see at present are Hazel Gordon, Nellie Thacker, and Gertrude Atwell.
Success is sure to attend their mighty efforts, since they are unmarried and are able to spend their wthole time on the subject.
A school room may be seen. With a long hickory in her hand
stands Alice Turner. How changed! How sedate,how dignified! She
moves so gracefully that the very air seems in tune. The scene whizzes by and a house is brought into view. Mary Kellogg has decided to
try farm life for a short time at least. Mary always did like the
grassy meadows.
The people need have no fear of the return of their laundry now
in time for church Sunday morning, for Nita Wright has become
united to a man named All and the partnership name reads, "The AllWright Laundry Co." Everything will come out all right in the wash
now,
My, but who is the young lady at the stove, in the bleak northern
woods? Can it be Mttyme Sullivan? Of course. She has now become
�a woman of science in the world of cookery and has entered the profession. This being her first position of honor at which she is earning
three dollars per and board.
Ah! my very constitution is being run down by the excitement
of the hour, but I must not falter. The spectacle brought before my
eyes holds me as if bound to the place. The person who next comes
before my vision brings back to me the prophetia, which I had entertained long years ago, before the final separation came. The young
man I am about to mention has started upon a successful career of
lumbering and is making hardwood flooring out of pine logs manufactured in the chemical laboratory by Nell Miller. Can you guess who it
is No? Why, it is our friend McGarry. Mr. Miller has accomplished
the impossible, defied the laws of science. and can now make anything he wants to in the laboratory.
As I turn my elongated caput to the south, I witness a catastrophe
which bespoke fright to my tender constitution. Coming from a music
store was a young girl, Ruby Grayson, by name, under intense obligations, as under each arm she carried one hundred and twenty copies
of Mendelssohn's corapogitions, the only available copies in town. But
for the timely assistance of Josephine Halverson, Ruby would have
been buried, but as it was the precious treasure reached home in
safety.
The old world contains many great mathematicians but let us
visit one who has not been heard of until late. With a meter stick he
began to trace the Cissiods of Diodes and Folia of Descartes in the
sands of Lansing, Mich., before the line of aspides of the earth's orbit
had moved twenty-two minutes of an arc from its original position.
With Apidus Tyrannus of Sophoclese under one arm and a neat package of Asymptotes, conjugate points, hyperbolic functions and the diatonic scale under the other he flashed like a Biclod Derolite over fair
Suttons Bay. But inclining at an angle to the X axis, he fell along
the brachistochrone in Keystone, where the natives greet him with
great admiration. Fred Pierson appears before you.
I also see two miles further up the railroad, Sigrid Johnson, who
who has become the shining light of Slight's Siding and suicides are
becoming quite frequent among the braver sex in that locality.
But there at a glance I recognize a young woman whom I had
nearly forgotten in the person of Laura Kyselka. She was caught in
the toils of matrimony by a young man named Topinka and from all
appearances they agree quite well.
From all appearances, the progression of the class goes still onward, as a short ways down the line, a large sign hangs out into the
street reading, "The Consolidated Chewing Gum Co." With an early
foresight in the future, Frances Albright, Miriam Hayden and Lucy
�Amer banded together and secured the agency for Zeno chewing gum.
Ab, but my heart leaped when I beheld in the pulpit of the First
M. E. church Claude Millard, a reformed personage. Julius Martinek
is traveling with the great Forepaugh and Sells consolidated menagerie, exhibiting giant monkeys, captured In the wilds of Greenland and
offers a prize to anyone who has courage enough to step inside the
cage.
The influence upon Hazel Knapp and Emma Pybus by Mr. Dye
when he spoke in chapel of the conditions in Africa among the natives
led these two young ladies to embark for the land of the black.
In the fading spectacle I espy Ernest Lautner, the incomparable
orator. He appreciated the loneliness of Mr. Martinek and accepted a
position as announcer for the high class entertainment. The sdght is
going away faster and faster and I must hurry to complete my survey.
Yes, there is another, Pearl Wilhelm. She is running a candy store.
All the candy being made by John Bauman, who is assistant chemist
to Nell Miller in the laboratory.
But here is where the advancements of the illustrious class ends.
Here is Harry Hanson, a dejected, despised person, peddling matches
and shoestrings in the street. A perfect specimen of degradation. He
was overcome by the effects of prophecying the future of this wavering class of beings and never fully recovered.
Now the image has• faded away and the only object present in the
image is my own self. With the remaining portion of the comb I
placed the finishing touches upon the soft blond hair and headed for
the dining room full of glorious tidings.
Bingham's girl's first name was Fern.
Thoughts of her made his heart burn,
'Till one day the pair got mad,
And the parting; oh, how sad!
Lester and his little lass
Had a scrap one day.
But they thought they'd let pass
And come out and play.
Pierson loves a little lass
Who is not in the Senior class,
Not even in our lovely town.
Surely this makes Piery frown.
�Class Will
BY HAROLD TAHRAUS
E IT KNOWN to all men: Whereas, we the graduating class
of the Traverse City High School having full possession of
our senses and being in the best of spirits at the prospects
of getting- out of school a week early, do hereby make the following
disposal of our earthly property and goods.
To all fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh year students remaining in
the High School we do hereby give and bequeath.
1. The Physics Lab. to be used for studying, fooling, shooting
taffy at the teacher, jollying Sophomores of the opposite sex, or for
anything else except physics,
2. The zoology specimens with cook book instructions for
eating them.
3. The magnificent induction coil which may be looked at but
never used.
4. The free and unrestricted right to chew gum, wear diamonds
or pins belonging to Sophs and Freshies; to bone and cram, to get
out an annual, to wear loud spring clothes (also red, white and blue
sox) to discard hats or to perform any other weak minded action
which would brand you as a Senior.
To the faculty we do hereby give and bequeath:
1. All the good will which it is possible for a body of students
to conceive of.
2. Hopes that the unmarried ones among you will heed the example of two well-known scientific men and tie up soon.
To Timantheous Pilatus, the much respected citizen of the stock
room, in recognition of his faithful and true services to the school we
do hereby give and bequeath:
All the money remaining in the class treasury, to be expended
for a dress suit so that he will be able to go down unblushingly and
vote on local option next election, also that he may stand with more
manly bearing before the physiology class.
To the Sophomores we do give and bequeath the right to give a reception to the teachers.
To the Freshmen we do bequeath the right to jolly the Freshmen
to be.
To the Freshmen to be we do extend the privilege of attending
the High School.
THE SENIOR CLASS.
Sworn at and subscribed before me on the 23rd day of March,
1908.

�SALUTATORY
By Dean E. Hobart
HD CLASS of 1908 and their friends are met together for the
last time In the school career of the class. It is my place to express verbally the general gratitude of the class for the interest which has been manifested in them by the friends of the school.
I know of no way to do this fittingly, Words are empty and meaningless on such occasions, and empty meaningless things are better unsaid. We have been told that we are now stepping out into life and
must prove our capability. If this is true, then each indidvidual member of the class should make his best endeavor to deserve the kind
attention which has been bestowed upon him.
Up to the time of our graduation from the High School our actions have, in a measure, been guided by those of more experience
than ourselves, but now it remains for us to decide what the next step
shall be. Some will enter college, others will get a position or situation somewhere and all will fit into the great mechanism of the world
according to the different qualities of their usefulness. But this usefulness should not and cannot be judged by the excellence of the work
done in school. Many times those who have shown no special aptitude, are the ones who really accomplish the most later; and often
it is those who show the greatest aptitude that accomplish the least.
The purpose of the High School is not to teach so much Latin and
so much mathematics, but the training acquired in these studies is
necessary to prepare one for the future struggle in life. In this way
the struggles of the future are made easier to grapple with, and the way
is opened to higher possibilities, which would otherwise have been
too far away to ever realize. The student who does the most work in
school is the person who will do the most work out of school, and that
is the person that the world wants. The man who understands how to
work and who follows out his understanding, Many perhaps would
not know how to work to the best of their ability if they had not had
the advantage of a high school training, for it is here that the student
learns how to concentrate his energy in the right direction.
In this way the value of the education and training which the
members of this class have just finished is seen. Thus the value of
the aid which the parents and friends have given is understood, and
for that reason formal thanks no matter how well expressed, could not
show the greater gratitude for this help which is soon to prove its
greatness.
T
�Valedictory
ALICE M. TURNER
MENDS of our High School days, we are gatherel here to bid
you farewell as a class. Nothing do we realize more fully than
the truth of those words of Solomon. "The thing that hath
been, It is that which shall be; and that which is done, It is that which
shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun." To you the
lights, the music, the flowers, the exercises, the presentation of diplomas is all an old story. Only to us who are here upon the stage is
any part of the evening's program new. Valedictories have been written and delivered years before we were born and will continue to be
given after we die. I can say nothing new to you tonight. As Schopenhauer remarks: "Everything has been thought, everything has been
done, everything has been written, everything has been said."
But to us tonight everything is novel. We have seen at all before
but tonight we are participants. There is an air of expectancy. We are
waiting for we know not what. Only the coming years can tell. This
is in truth a commencement for most of us. Up to this time we have
been carefree. We have not known what real life meant. But now we
are to find out, to experience for ourselves what the world has of joy
and happiness—of pain and sorrow. We are to •lave our lives to the
best of our ability "in that state of life unto which it shall please
God to call us."
F
There is no one of us here tonight who is fully satisfied with his
High School course—no one of us who does not feel that if he could
but begin anew he would do many things differently. We will always
look back to our High School days with pleasure. But as to the regrets we must "let the dead past bury its dead." There as a future
ahead of us to which we must give some thought and more than that
must we live in the present—do our duty each succeeding day as we
see it.
There is no one of us who does not have some plans for the future, however vague and indefinite—of necessity subject to much
change. Some of us expect to enter college this coming autumn and to
have an added four years of school life to more fully prepare us for
the duties of real life. Others of this class of 1908 are planning to step
out into the business world tomorrow to prove by experience that
which in the last four years they have been learning in theory.
Thoreau says, "If you have built castles in the air your work
need not be lost; that is where they should be; now put foundations
under them." In one sense we have been laying foundations in the
past four years. We have been gaining that which is the best stock
�in trade that a person can have. But 'in another sense it has been a
period of air castle building. Like small children we have said "When
I get big I am going to do thus and so." Now has come the time for
us to fulfill the promises made to ourselves. Now is the time when
we must put foundations under our air castles.
But it is not ourselves alone who are to be considered this evening. Our High School course has meant much hard work and sacrifice
for us, but it has cost our parents infinitely greater self-sacrifice. In
behalf of the class tonight I thank the mothers and fathers whose
unselfishness has made possible our education; whose love and sympathy has tided us over the hard places; and whose encouragement has
more than once raised us from the depths of despondency.
To those students is special honor due who without father and
mother to cheer them by their own perseverance have paid their way
throughout the entire four years in the face of many difficulties.
There is no doubt as to their success in life. Concerning them one
may say, not "They should," but "They will."
And to the teachers also do I express my grateful appreciation of
their never-failing interest arid kind consideration. We owe much to
their unselfish devotion.
This is the last time we will all be together as a class. Many of u.
will probably never see one another again. But the friendships which
we have formed during the past four years will never be broken and
forty years hence we will count as our truest friends those of our
High School and college days.
After tonight we separate, some to go one way, some another,
on our journey through life. May we so live that when we reach• the
boundary between the known and that vast unknown we can truthfully say that we have done our duty as we saw tit. To my classmates I would say: "May the clouds in your lives be neither so large
nor so black as to completely obscure the sun, but may there be just
enough of them to make a beautiful sunset."

Breathes there a boy with soul so dead,
Who never to a girl hath said,
"May I come 'round again tonight?"
Whose heart hath never faster beat ,
As, turning his footsetps down "Her street,"
Her well known face he hopes to meet?
If such there be, go mark his face,
For, to the school he's a disgrace
High though his marks; his standing good,
The wretch whose head must 'be of wood,
Living, shall forfeit lots of fun,
And frightened from the girls shall run
Back to the woods from whence he came,
S'kidooed, lemoned and stung.

Reminiscenses of a Tramp
HARRY HANSON
s THE days go by, one by one,--as the years go by at the same
rapid pace, the ranks of our daily occupation become more crowded and the requirements for the position are getting to be so great
that only men of ability and great tenacity can hold it. It is all on account
of those four-eyed inventors, who increased the speed capacity of the
human carriers so that it is the railroad track for us now, instead of
a nice bed on a carload of hay. If you do happen to find a door open
and crawl in to shake the dust off your eyelids, when you wake up
the exits are closed. Maybe they are not opened for several days. Maybe they are opened at once and you see the light too soon and feel the
sting of the brakeman's rawhide boot.
This is indeed a strenuous life. It is entirely different from those
little jobs that come to the hands of the dudes who work their brains
out one day after another. No, sir. Nothing like going from one
back door to another asking for something to stem the tide of hunger.
But let me tell you a little incident that would make you shed a
bushel of tears and die laughing. I was in a small burg in northern
Michigan last summer (I think it was Traverse City). It was my
first visit north, and a sorrowful time it was when I ever struck out
in that direction. But to continue:
I happened in on a through
freight one Tuesday morning and struck out for breakfast. You know
it brings a good appetite (when you haven't one already) to go out
for your meals. Otherwise I would take mine at a hotel.
I was not long in reaching the residence district and the first
thing that met my eyes on coming to a large house was a row of the
most delicious pies you ever saw. You know I am a pretty good judge
even from a distance. Well, those pies seemed to my liking and I proceeded to take them. There was a tall fence around the back yard
but that was no obstacle considering the experience I had gained
climbing fences, box cars, passenger coaches and telegraph poles,
even playing a tune upon a wire clothes line on one occasion to save
myself from a bull dog's ferocious appetite.
A
�Well. I got over the fence onto the porch, had one pie in my
mouth, another in my shirt and still another in my hand and was
starting for the gate and freedom. But what did my eyes behold! A
palir of glittering greenish-red eyes, two rows of pearl white teeth, and
a mouth like that of a rhinoceros emerging from a barn door.
I was terror-stricken. He knew it. I jumped. He jumped. I ran.
He ran. 1 climbed. He did not .1 did'nt get any further. He did.
He reached the seat of my trousers. I yelled. He growled. Two contestants. Two to one on the dog. Many takers, One to two on the
man. No takers. Well, I wasn't exceedingly comfortable, and to my
intense relief a woman came to the door. She says, "Here, Ado, we
don't need any more beefsteak until tomorrow. The last we had was
tough enough." The dog let go and I crawled down from my perch.
As she looked me over she appeared puzzled. She grinned, she
smiled, she screamed and fell into my open arms. Now, what would
you do in a case of that kind? I never was stuck on old maids. I
spoke soothingly to her but to no avail. She had hysterics. "0,
John!" she murmured, " my darling boy, you have come back to your
•own dear little girl."
Now what do you think of that, calling me her own darling little
Johnnie. I couldn't stand for that and I started. But she clung to me,
—worse than the bulldog did. Again she cried, "0, Johnnie, my dear,
dear Johnnie! Won't you stay now and not run away again?" To think
of that. Just as if that Irish face ever belonged to me. It was certainly a case of mistaken Identity. I told her so. She wouldn't have it
thus. I would. I carried her tenderly into the house and started to
leave. She cried and cried. I wasn't used to it and maybe I would
have cried, too, if I had stayed any longer.
So I says: "Madam, you are very kind and considerate to a gentleman like me, but looking into your beautiful semiglobular face I
can't—stand the pressure. Good-bye! !"
The Message of the Violets.
J.A. M.
S THE last Long, Lean Counsellor looked gravely over his
glasses at the Princess, an inward sigh pulled his thin lips
down at the corners and drew his bristling eyebrows into a
knot over his eyes. Regarding him with equal gravity, the little
Princess wondered how that nose could ever have belonged to a baby—it was so long and thin like the rest of him—and when would he
release her from that stiff, straight chair, and where did that faint odor
of violets come from. It had been a long, tiresome session; she knew
she had been on the throne for hours, and she was so weary and
A
�sleepy that she drooped in the big chair, like what she was—a tired
little child.
"That is all," said the Long Lean Counsellor, "except that I feel
it my duty to request again that Your Highness choose some one manner in which to sign your name to state papers and always to sign
them that way."
"Must I?" the Princess sighed, gazing at him with wide, shadowy
blue eyes.
The Long, Lean Counsellor looked away hastily, and after a moment went on: "It would be a more convenient method—or I might
say—lack of mehtod. I should recommend it: it is very necessary,"
he concluded an a tone which supplied the grim firmness which the
courtly words lacked.
"But it is so monotonous," the little Princess protested, "there
are so many papers, and I never can remember how I signed the last
one."
As she slowly raised her heavy eyelids, and looked at him,
great tears trembled on the lashes, and the rosy under-lip quivered
pathetically. Drawn by those wide pleading eyes the Long Lean
Counsellor looked and was lost.
"Perhaps not; we will see," he growled, working his grizzly eyebrows up and down like a gorilla, "It isn't imperative."
The Princess breathed a relieved sigh. "I'm so glad," she said.
"I thought you were going to preach me another dreadful sermon on
sacrifice to duty, and I was going to cry."
The Counsellor's eyebrows came down in a ferocious scowl.
"Is that all?" the Princess inqured in a meek, timid little voice.
"For the present, yes, your Highness."
The Princess bitightened and the Counsellor's eyebrows descended
further.
"Then when you go," she said, "will you please tell her Grace
that I wish to be alone here a little while " (The throne was very
comfortable when one could curl up in it). "I think I shall read."
The gorilla eyebrows went up suddenly as the man regarded the
formidable volumes placed around the room.
As he bent over her hand in a hinge-like bow, the child almost
giggled. She had never seen Ms nose at that angle before, and the
perspective added another .inch, reminding her of the fairy tale
Prince, whose preposterous nose barred him from the affection of his
beloved Princess. How 'could the Long Lean Counsellor ever have
been a baby?
When the curtain dropped behind him the Princess lifted off her
dainty crown, and let the long velvet robe drop from her shoulders.
Reaching around behind the throne she drew forth a well worn blue
covered book, and curled up on the wide seat, preparatory to resuming the delightful adventures of Prince Charming.
�Again she sniffed the vague, yet subtle odor of violets. She
yearned to be out among them again—among real violets that one
found on mornings when one had run away, in cool green woods,
still wet with the dew—tears shed when their fairy sweet hearts had
left the mat daylight. She remembered the last time she had seen
them, that spring morning, long, long ago, when they had brought her
here to shut her up in this big palace; and she imagined herself back
in the blue valley, bidding a tearful farewell to every wild thing that
she loved and must not think of again, stepping daintily so as not to
crush the tender flowers. She never liked to pluck them—it was too
much like uprooting a tiny soul.
Why, that was only a year ago! It was cruel to be tortured with
those memories, when she had been brave so long.
The predious odor came to her again on a breeze that wandered
in through an open window. Droppng her book, the Princess jumped
up, and ran to the casement. As she looked out a wild little cry of delight escaped her. Just beneath her window was a stand piled with
blue and purple violets—real violets that had come from her own
dear woods; for was not the flower girl dressed in quaint, shortskirted country costume, Sylvia, her companion of the woods?
There was no one else near, so she leaned out and called softly.
The girl looked up and started to throw a delighted kiss, but
changed it to a queer little courtesy.
"Slyvia !Sylvia! aren't those our violets? Aren't •they dear Sylvia?"
"Yes, your Highness," answered the girl, dropping another
courtesy.
"Oh Sylvia! Can't you throw some up? I haven't had any for
years. I want them so much." Her little heart cried out for the beloved flowers. She wanted to hold them very close, to crush them
against her.
"You may have all you want. I know they missed you, your
Highness."
Sylvia tossed them up to the outstretched hands until the Princess called her to stop.
"Dear, dear, Sylvia! They brought you, I know they did." Unclasping a gold chain from her neck, s•he dropped it down to the girl
below. "Keep it,—not for the violets, for they are minte too—but for
coming here when I needed them so much, and good-bye, dear Sylvia,
good-bye."
With the precious messengers clasped in her hands, she ran back
to the throne, and curling up in the spacious seat, hurled her face in
the cool masses of purple and blue.
Thus they found her at sun-down, fast asleep; but the bright
drops on the little flower faces were not violet tears.
�"HOMEWARD"
J. A.M.
Homeward!
A coaxing wind, a laughing sea,
A staunch old ship, our hearts carefree,
Where can be found, save
On the ocean wave,
As merry a crew as we.
The storm o'ertakes us, the sky is gray,
"A bad nor-east," we hear the skipper say.
Through spray and unknown mist arolling
With shortened sail o'er surges bowling,
We head toward homeland, far away.
Once more "Land ho!" the sailors cry,
Conies down from the watchful lookout high,
Departed now is all care and sorrow,
With lighter hearts we think of the morrow
And home with the friends of days gone by.
Homeward!

...The Power of the Ideal Man...
LOUNSBURY D. CASTLE.
Self sacrifice is the essence of true manhood. It is the purity of
Marcus Aurelius, the tolerance of a Constantine, the piety of a Gladstone, the sympathy of a Lincoln, and the simplicity of the Nazarene,
that enshrines their names in the universal heart of humanity. Love,
the supreme manifestation of the omnipotent, is the guiding star of
civilization. It is not the butchery of a Herod, the brutality of a Nero, nor the fiendishness of a Robespierre; but the humanity of a
Christ, the gentleness of a Socrates, and the self-denial of a Wesley
that has been the means of progress.
Pelf and power, since the dawn of history, has been the end and
aim of material man. Merrily has he bargained vice with virtue. Yea!
by the very sweat of his brow and the very sacrifice of his soul,
blindly and eagerly, this man of self has struggled, climbed, and fallen in his mad, unbated zeal for merely the pomp and pleasure of a day,
Though the vast majority have reveled in sin and sensuality; though
the cause of wrong has seemingly prospered, yet the trend of civilization has been onward and upward. It whll ever be so. Evolution is the
divine plan. And why? In every epoch there has been born a man,
who has lived not for himself, but for others. Blessing those that
cursed him; forgiving those that hated him; and returning good for
evil in a simple, humble way, he has played his little part, "suffering
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune," and the whips and
scorns of time, knowing the inevitable fate of martyr and reformer.
His contemporaries have called him fool, fanatic, and heretic; posterity calls him blessed, and civilization calls him the ideal man.
Born in a poor peasant cottage, reared in servile poverty, and
knowing the bitter pangs of want and work, was one whose cause was
the cause of humanity. This man cursed by heredity and environment
climbed slowly and painfully life's rugged path. Neither fate nor fortune smiled upon him, yet with irresistible perseverance and constancy he achieved success in its truest sense. He became rich in material wealth, rich in friendship, and rich fin character. Seeing the
wants of young men he founded an institution known to the world as
the Young Men's Christian Association, and which today thrice encircles the globe. Its scope has become as broad as humanity and its
results are manifest in the rapid increase of human character. An institution which has done more for the upbuilding of moral and ma-
�terial man than any other single organization on the earth. He who
founded this mighty institution believes in the religion of mankind—
his church was the world—his creed was love—he ever sought to be
his brother's keeper—he believed that in order to have many friends
one must be a friend. That love was greater than hate, that in order
to live an ideal life one must make life ideal for others. And though a
business man, his life was ever controlled by the golden rule and not
the rule of gold. That man is Sir George Williams.
Righteousness exaltest a nation and nations are made righteous
only by the character of their men. That character must embody the
principles of altruism. Without, the altruistic spirit true government is
impossible. Laws are made only when men become willing to recognize their mutual obligation, and place the common good above individual selfishness. They are the formal statements of the rules
by which men agree to be governed; the transcripts of law written by
the tongue of experience upon the hearts of the people. Hence their
nature must depend upon the character of the men who made them.
Ancient Ninevah and Babylon with its hanging gardens of artificial splendor, losing their morality, fell and became mere relics of the
past. Great Rome given to sensuality was soon numbered with Ninevah and Babylon. And thus do we see that human character is the
pulse of a nation. The national pulse has grown weak. Nations have
waxed selfish and immoral and the -world has become a silent graveyard. Beneath the accumulated dust of centuries, slumber cities and
civilisation. Majestic columns and mighty pyramids stand •as melancholy monuments of fallen empires. And why have they gone? They
died not of old age, but of weakness brought on by tyranny and injustice; they fell not upon the battlefield, but in time of peace: not
for the lack of men, but for want of manhood. Therefore, that
kingdom which is to endure forever must be established upon the
characters of a noble people, and that character must embody and exemplify the eternal principles of Him who spake as never man spake.
And thus on the power of righteousness and on the strength of unversal brotherhood depends the hope of any nation.
If the crumbling ruins of Egypt, Athens and Rome, magnificent
in their very desolation speak aright and if we do not misinterpret
the signs of the times, then it tis essentially true that the ideal man is
a potent example in the course of civilization. He is absolutely necessary, and without him there is no civilization.
Among the various problems confronting the young men of today
is the problem of graft and greed. Bold, defiant, and ever growing It
stalks rampant over this nation. As an outcome of greed and graft
we have our sweat house abuses, where the slaughter of children
goes on unceasingly; the social evil which rivals the sensual days of
Rome; and the permeation of graft in our various public offices where
�men are swayed by the glitter of gold, and the fear of the "interests."
Who then tis the man to overcome these problems? Surely not the
unscrupulous politician who crosses the land of his ambition upon a
pontoon bridge made of down-trodden fellow citizens; not he who
erects his throne upon a pile of gold unjustly wrung from hands made
hard with honest toil. But he who truly loves his fellow men and
battles for the welfare of right and equity. When the twilight of time
shall have faded into the dawn of eternity; when the omniscient Rewarder of men s•ha.11 inscribe on the eternal roll of honor the names
of those who love their fellow men; then high on that eternal roll
in letters of immortal light shall stand the names of those who championed the cause of character and played the part of the 'ideal man.

�Music and Art
HAZEL GORDAN
Miss Lou McManus, one of the most popular of Traverse City's
young women, is the present instructor of music in our public
schools and of the High school chorus. After a two years' course in
the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin, Miss McManus began her work
here last fall.
It can be well said that we have one of the best High School choruses. The chorus consists of about sixty-five voices and is one of
which we can be proud.
Most of the first semester was spent in studying and drilling
upon the cantata entitled "The Rose Maiden," adapted from the German. On the 27th of March "The Rose Maiden" was presentd to the
public. The large and enthusiastic audience heartily expressed their
interest and appreciation of the work done by the chorus. The blending of voices and unity of time displayed are worthy of our praise.
Much talent was shown in the work done by individuals, who took the
leading parts in the solos, duets and quartets.
At present the chorus is working upon three selections in preparation for Commencement Eve. The numbers which will be rendered
then are "Oh, for the Wings of a Dove," by Mendelssohn, "0, Great is
the Depth," from St. Paul, by Mendelssohn, and "Comrades Awake,"
composed by Staub.
The music in our High School is growing better each year and it
is hoped that the same interest will be exhibited in the future that
has been in the past in this particular line of work.
Miss Jessie Stout was born in Marshall in the southern part of
Michigan. She is a graduate of the public schools there and after
completing her High school course entered the Western State Normal.
She graduated from the art department, receiving a life art certificate.
"ART is but the mirror of life."—Heine.
The class in drawing, which meets twice a week, met for their
first lesson with Miss Stout last September. The work taken up at
that time was nature work, studies in landscapes, flowers and fruit.
Just before Christmas a special line of work was introduced by Miss
Stout. Arts and crafts is something altogether new in our High
school drawing, but the leather tooled pocket books made by the
class proves the value of this particular kind of work.
Some time was devoted to the study of still life. Later on construction work, accompanied by applied designing, was given atten-
�tion and proved to be highly interesting. The baskets made are still
further evidences of the practical value of such handiwork.
Landscape work done lin charcoal, and Japanese studies were also included in this year's course of drawing. The exceedingly good
work which has been produced proves to us that our High School
ie not without artistic talent, skill and originality. Much credit is
due to the instructor who can obtain such excellent results from her
class.
Those who have had training before along this line and those
who have taken it up for the first time this year, must certainly feel
that hours spent with art have not been in vain.
Art has existed Since time began and from the crude work of the
novice in the early centuries, it has developed 'into the marvelous
paintings and sculpturing of the great masters. Good art is like good
music, it refines, cultures and ennobles those who take the pains
to interest themselves in it and who make a study of it.
Jerry wrote a limerick
'Bout a great invention;
But the patent wouldn't stick
More I will not mention.
Harry loves a little maiden
From the bottom of his soul.
Guess you'll never catch him tradin'
If we blieve what we are told.
Charley's one great aim in life
Is to understand the reason
Wlhy it is he is so small
Though he's lived through many a season.
We have one boy whose name is Neil,
Of himself he thinks zu viel.
Ought to give us chaps a rest,
Telling us he is the best.
Never giving us a show
To tell the teacher what we know.
There is a boy whose name is D,
It isn't so very long, you see.
His hair is black, his eyes are brown,
And he loves all the girls in town.
But there is one he loves the hest
'Cause she is different from the rest.
As to the name of his dear mate
It seems to me 'tis Bess Smurthwaite.
��Amo Te
I love thy hands, I love thy hair,
I love thy dainty quiet air;
Your manners satisfy my heart,
Your eyes to me are like a dart.
And most of all, but last to tell,
I love thee for thy ldttle self.
Thy soul is mine own guiding star,
Which, gleaming, leads me from afar.
The light which it imparts around
Illuminates my hallowed ground.
My heart is by your glances blest;
My thoughts are all to you expressed
And tho' they may not now be great,
Yet when they are, they'll come by
freight.

Old T. C.
With apologies to Ben King
Of all the towns that just suit me
From Thompsonville to Manistee,
There's one old place I can't forget.
It aint a monstrous place, and yet
'Twill be pretty sizable maybe,
All in good time—that's old T. C.
I don't pretend to write, and aint
One of them there chaps that paint.
If I was, I'd tell of scenes that lie
Stretched out afore a feller's eye;
It is the place where I will be
When I'm at home—that's old T. C.
I've seen folks gather there in crowds,
Just to watch the golden clouds
Changing shapes and sort of glowing,
As the light still fainter growing,
Brought the thoughts of home to me
And to dearest old T. C.

�Wilhelm's Traurigkeit
By ERNEST LAUTNER
Wilhelm traumt von seinem Gluck,
Aber als die Stimme zu ibin kam,
Von einem Liebeslied verging
Sein Lacheln, und ling zu reden an.
"Es erinnert mich an eine Liebe,
Die hat versprochen mein zu sein;
Und wenn tich daran denk', vertrubt
Meine Seel; das ich allein musz sein.
"Ihr blau'n Augen, die echten Spiegel,
Glanzten heller als die Sterne;
Ihr gold'nen Locken waren immer
Als ob frisch von der hohen Ferne.
"Ihr iStimme lautet wie das S'ingen
Der Engel im ewigen Paradies;
Die Vorte eines Liedes klingen
Aus ihrem Mund gar wunderlich.
"Als wir allein am Ufer waren
Zusammen den Naturen Blkk,
Den schonen aufgehend' Mond besahen,
Bestatigt ich mein hocst€e Gluck.
"Endlich kam der droh'nde Tag
Wann sie von mir trennen muszt;
Als die hand des Todes auf ihr lag
Sah ich meinen grosz' Verlust.
"Als sae noch am Rande war
Des Todes und des Lebens, blieb'n
Die Augen wunderlich wie klar;
Als ob sie war' schron druben.
"So wann ich ihre Lieblingslied
Von Munde andrer Singer hor'
Betrubt mean Herz und eilend zeih'n
Hervor die Thranen —ach wie schwer."
�LOCALS
HARRY HANSON
Manistee dropped in upon ms Sept. 28, 1907, to play a game of
foot ball, and as usual, were defeated, but enjoyed the hospitality
and entertainment offered them after the game. The locals were equally well received when they visited the Salt City later in the season.
On Nov. 27th, the younger girls gave a leap year party and individually invited the boys. They left the older girls out, claiming that
this said party had undue hypnotic influence over the braver sex, but
the latter not to be outdone, gave a masquerade the evening before,
and those who were fortunate enough to attend both had an excellent
time.
An entertainment was enjoyed in the High School room, it being given for the benefit of the High School in general, and the boys
Athletic association. Every number on the program was enjoyed immensely, all receiving encores. The science teacher was overcome by
the soothing qualities of a reading and entered "Dreamland," until
a brother professor restored his equilibrium.
It is to be regretted that we could not play the return games with
the Manistee and Kalkaska basket ball teams. With the regular team
working together, great hopes were entertained for the championship of Northern Michigan, but so many obstacles were presented
that the game was given up.
The junior-senior reception to the teachers was held at Horst's
academy Feb. 7, 1908. The affair was a great success, proving to be superior to those of former years. The room was decorated in the local
colors and the walls were covered with emblematic pennants representing many different schools of the country. After a few well chosen words by the class president L. D. Castle, welcoming the teachers, the program proceeded. Every number was greatly appreciated,
especially the violin duet by Mozelle Bennett and Prof. K. E. Horst,
and the piano solo by Miss Turner, the three being recalled repeatedly. Dancing then reigned for three and one half hours, refreshments
being served during the meantime at the Palace. Prof. Davis and.
wife were greatly missed, being absent on account of sickness, but
�the rest enjoyed themselves throughout the evening, although Mr.
Ruggles seemed rather lonesome without—Oh, you know I mean
Miss—Miss—Oh! Yes, that's her. Well school will soon be out.
Good luck to Mr. Ruggles.
The "Spy of Gettysburg," given by the Science department, April
5th, at the Grand opera house, was rendered in a very satisfactory
manner, and the casts were spoken of very highly by the audience.
During the first of the year the school bought an induction coil. The
best they could get for its size, and the agreement of purchase was
that the school board should pay half and the Science Department
should pay the rest. In order to raise their half, the latter gave the
play mentioned above. They made more than enough to pay their
share and with the rest of the money will buy other apparatus, which
is needed very much, since much of the material in use at the present time is pretty well used up. Much credit is due to Mr. Hornbeck,
who worked harder than any one else to make the play a success,
and the people of Traverse City can congratulate themselves that
such a man as Mr. Hornbeck is a teacher in their schools.
A short time ago we were given a musical treat which will not
soon be forgotten. Mr. Phipps, who has been traveling from school to
school giving entertainments, held the scholars and faculty spellbound for half an hour in the morning, and his work was so well appreciated that a large audience greeted him after school. Indeed if
in no other way, we can judge his work by Mr. Nye. The latter gentleman was so completely overcome with the effects, that fully ten
minutes elapsed before he was restored to his normal attitude.
The Seniors met in the large room, on December 21, 1907, and decided to have a Ohilstmas tree on Friday evening, before vacation.
No definite place was settled upon, although we had hopes of securing
the Physical Laboratory. But our hopes were dashed away, when Mr.
Davis judging this timid class by that of last years' senior class, refused the request, as he was afraid the skeleton would be fed something disagreeable with its constitution, and therefore upset its normal condition. We therefore used the basket ball hall. Everybody
had a good time, and presents all the way from a baby cab to a rattle box were given out. The hall was left in good condition for one of
the unlucky seniors, who holding an office in the basket ball association, spent two lovely hours the next day clearing up the floor of
refuse, to pay for his dignity.

�...The Mock .1
I
On Monday evening, April 27, the case of People versus Harold
Jahraus was pulled off with great enthusiasm in the High School
assembly room. Previous to this "Bernie" Pierce had slapped Mr. Jahraus on the nose, which so angered the latter worthy that he considered it necessary, in order to preserve his dignity among the
Freshmen, to clean up the sod with• the offender. Mr. Pierce immediately swore out a warrant and Sheriff Bingham captured the culprit, who, after hot remonstrance, was taken before Judge Lautner
in the laboratory. Judge Lautner decided that it was his sacred duty
to hold Jahraus for trial on $200 bail, which was immediately signed
by Hobart and Prof. Davis.
Prosecuting Attorney prepared for the trial and Mr. Jahraus hired
Umlor & Martinek to look after his side of the case.
The night of the trial came around and the preliminaries, such as
selecting the jury were done away with without a hitch. Sheriff Bingham had chosen his men well.
Mr. Pierce was the first witness and he stated that although he
was not an eye witness to everything it was only on account of his position at various stages of the game that prevented this, but he said
further that his testimony could not be ruled out on this account,
since he had felt all he had not seen. All this took about an hour.
Then some more witnesses were called who verified this, but one,
Mephistophelis by name and a composite by nature, added what appeared to be at first rather valuable testimony. He swore that he had
heard Mr. Jahraus say that "he would feed fat his ancient grudge."
He knew it was Jahraus and he had been but three inches from him
at the time, the distance being known because Mephistopheles' nose
was touching Mr. Jahraus' shoulder at the time. The cause for the
words was the fact that Pierce had cut Jahraus out and was taking
the latter's girl home. However for some unaccountable reason this
testimony was not used in the attorney's plea. More witnesses were
called and the trial at last dragged to an end and the jury went out
in the Sheriff's charge.
The jury, intent on justice, could not agree for some time. They
were three for acquittal and three against it and appearances were
that they would stay so all night unless something happened. But
finally McGarry had a happy thought. They flipped a 50 cent piece.
and Mr. Jahraus was guilty.
No one was more surprised than Jahraus himself when Judge
Lautner sentenced him to thirty days in the laboratory studying the
moral make up of the bug.
�District Oratorical
Contest
The Oratorical Declamatory contest of the third sub-district of
Michigan was held in the First Methodist church of this city on the
evening of March twentieth. The following schools were represented: Manistee, Frankfort, Gaylord, Cheboygan, Traverse City.
In the oratorical contest our representative, Mr. Eldred, received
second place. This showed much work as well as ability on Mr. Eldred's part. He was working against odds as most of the other contestants had given the same orations in similar contests in previous
years. His hard work in preparing for this year's contest was not in
vain, however, as i•t will stand him in stead for next year's contest
in which he has an excellent chance of winning the state contest as
be is an orator of no mean ability,
The winners in the oratorical contest were as follows:
1st. Frank Pennell, Cheboygan, subject, "Reign of Graft."
2nd. Andrew Eldred, Traverse City, subject, "Education as an Essential to Progress."
3rd. Glen Smith, Gaylord, subject, "Emancipation of Russia."
In the Declamatory contest Arthur Spenser certainly did the
school full justice. He gave his selection, "The New South," by
Grady, in an exceptionally pleasing manner,
Second place was won by Harold Johnson of Manistee, who gave
Patrick Henry's "Appeal to Arms" in a very stirring manner.
The winners in this contest represent this sub-district in the district contest to be held in Muskegon at a latter date.
The judges on composition were: Supt. Butler, Central Lake;
Mrs. J. L. Gibbs, Mayfield; Miss Grace Tennant, Holland.
The judges on delivery were: Supt. McGee, Cadillac; Supt. Bell,
Boyne City; Thomas Meggison, Central Lake.

�Education as an Essential to Civilization
By ANDREW ELDRED
The darkest epoch in history was the period immediately preceding the Renaissance. It was an age over which hung the pall of
ignorance and superstition. It was as though all Europe lay sleeping
under the hypnotic power of some unseen being. It was a period of
tyrannous, yet powerless kings; quarrelsome, yet cowardly nobles;
active, yet sensual clergy; sturdy, yet oppressed commoners ft was
an age when freedoom of thought was unknown, when teaching was
In the hands of a few bigoted monks, and they, subservient to an ignorant.mediaeval church, held sway over Christendom.
But this was not destined to endure for all time. The darkest
hour of the night signified the approach of a new dawn, the forerun
ner of victorious day. Mighty factors were at work which would ultimately throw off the iron yoke, and man would stand forth free, exultant, and powerful.
The dawn of this new day was the Renaissance. It meant that
civilization had at last awakened to a new birth. When the scholars of this period, those pioneers of knowledge, openly sought the
old classics and demanded a change in learning, a new epoch was
begun. But the influence of the Renaissance was exerted over a large
number than the mere handful of men who inspired it. Their ambition
and example were compelling. Their spirit became a national spirit
in that their writings were done in the vernacular, thus bringing into
existence national forces of great import. Europe soon became acquainted with printing, with gunpowder, with astronomy, and with a
new religion; knowledge which was destined to revolutionize the
world. And in addition to all ibis she became acquainted with a land
beyond the seas.
This crowning result was a step toward a higher life. It
meant that no longer mere existence was satisfactory, but that the
why and the wherefore must be revealed; no longer was the monastery
to touch a special class, but that every man must know. Learning
must be universal. Thus civilization had shaken itself free of its
shackles, and proudly said, "Seek knowledge for yourself; be a personality." It reared and fostered these mighty agents, individualism,
organization, self-restraint and liberty.
�Thus the new age produced the best blood of Europe; the stern
Puritans of England; the heroic Huguenots of France; the sturdy Luth
erans of Germany; and the stubborn Dutch of the Netherlands; a
race of men who knew no superiors. And this blood was transferred
to the new world. Would that first shot, which was heard round the
world, ever have been fired without their free-thinking, their demand
for principle, their dauntless courage,—all results of the Renaissance?
No. We proudly point to Saratoga, to Valley Forge, and to Yorktown
and acclaim that our forefathers were willing to fight, yea and to die,
that the principle of freedom might endure. And behind their spirit was Intelligence.
When the democratic spirit of France, on the other hand, threw
down the gauntlet, executed a king, and creed, "Liberty!" it was the
result of ignorance, of.selfishness and a blind following of ill-chosen
leaders. It was a backward step in our civilization. But we must remember that this peope had developed under the dwarfing influence
of persecution, of over-taxation, and of oppression by church and
state, which had dulled their finer perceptions and perverted their
ideals. Do the French, today, point proudly to the triumphs of the
guillotine? Would their forefathers have died, or even suffered, for
the principle of freedom? No. For men of their stamp cannot think
and cannot realize that victory is won only by intelligent sacrifice;
that liberty is attained only by restraint. Did their misgovernment
long endure? History denies it. The difference between the success
of our revolution and the failure of theirs is that we were strong in
our training; they, weak from lack of it. We were educated; they
were not.
To bring to pass, then, the greatest amount of good to the greatest number of people, to make a country a national force, the citizens
must be intelligent, must be trained, must be educated. These are the
instruments that move the world and aid a man in becoming a benefit
to himself, to his country and to his age. We are apt to regard as
the educated man, him, who is versed in ancient languages, in higher
mathematics or in occult sciences. Milton was such a man, yet he,
classic extremist that he was, said: "I call a complete and generous
education that which fits a man to perform justly, skillfully and
magnanimously all the offices, both •public and private, of peace and
war." It is then, that which makes a man's work potent.
Education and education alone, is the means which leads to that
success which makes a man better prepared for his life work. Its
purpose is to inspire, to enlighten, to stimulate. The great ideal of
education is not research, but propagation of knowledge. Its mission is to help others, not ourselves alone; to raise others, as well
as ourselves, from the material to the real things in life.
The true intent of education is toward a more complete life, and
this means a higher civilization. In this time, Egypt, Babylon, and
�Phoenicia were without rivals. Yet why is it they are remembered
today? The military projects of Egypt were gigantic; the armies of
Babylon well nigh irresistible; the sailors of Phoenicia fearless. But
aside from the fact that these .countries disseminated knowledge,
they were magnificent failures. Now Egypt lies buried in her pyramids; the very site of Babylon is disputed, and Phoenicia is but a
name. The narrow, selfish policy of these countries caused their ruin
but the value of the lessons we derive from them is immeasurable.
Greece under Alexander conquered the world, only to fall before the
invincible legions of Rome, and though each in its time was supreme,
were it not for the culture and intellectual achievements of Greece
and the laws and internal improvements of Rome, their other deeds,
taken by themselves would have had but little influence on the world's
real progress. Civilization is not material wealth or temporal power.
It is life itself:—that which endures,—that which increases. Its truest
grandeur is in its high ideals, results of pure, upright and intelligent
living.
Patriotism is truly a concomitant of education. Among an aboriginal people the purpose of the individual is self-preservation, even at
the expense of the clan. True, he supports the clan but from a desire
of personal gain, not from patriotic devotion. In the civilized state,
as a result of this process which we call education, the individual
has developed to that point, where he feels the call of something higher and purer. That something we call partiotism. True education,
we hold, is an essential to true patriotism.
Russia today is considered a strong world power. Measured in national wealth it ranks among the first. Materially, the Russians are
our peers. But in real power and in true civilization we are superior to them as the trained soldier is to the raw recruit. The Russians
are brave and loyal; but, as a nation, they lack that one essential,
an educated middle class.
As it is in the nation so it is with the individual. Two of America's best loved men, men who did more, perhaps, than any others in
the establishing and preserving of our national government, were
Benjamin Franklin and Abraham Ilncoln. They were truly educated
in the school of adversity and experience. They were not unread or ignorant; nor were the contents of their books their education. The
work they contributed was the result of a training that had caught
the true spirit of an education. Neither sought for rewards or honors,
yet today each is heralded throughout the world as a true American.
Now what is the meaning of all this? That education is ever the
forerunner of civilization. That ideals which tend to raise the standard of our fellow men are inevitably the results of education. It lb
no waste of words to say America is progressing. It is a self-asserted
fact. To what forces, then, shall we ascribe this? To her schools,
to her colleges, to her universities, and to her political freedom which
give every man a chance to gain a practical experience in every phase
of life. Therefore is our whole tendency toward a greater future, a
future foreordained by the fathers of this republic; a future cherished
by every true citizen of every state; a future in which shall be proclaimed the praises of the greatest nation sullying for the greatest
good.
��T. G. H. S. Athletic Ass'n
In the spring of '07, near the close of the school year, the Athletic Association met in room one to elect officers for the following
year. Old Spiegel presided over the meeting and gave up his position
with much grace and amiability, and at the same time offered much
advice.
For the year endring with June, 1908, the following officers were
elected:
Fred Pierson—President.
Claude Clifford—Vice President.
Glen Stanley—Secretary.
Harry Hanson—Treasurer.
�In the fall of '07 the foot ball team was under the management
of the board, consisting of: Mr. Nye, Mr. Davis, George Whiting, Harold Jahraus, and L. D. Castle. They also managed the Basket Ball
team, so that both were successful in a financial way and it is hoped
that the track team will do as well.
-:-Prospects of 1908 Track Team-:The loss of sonic of the heavy men of last year's team, such as
Spiegel and Fellers, will make much difference in the weights, and
the loss of Miller will be realized in the dashes. However, the team
of '08 has a very bright outlook. Most of the old men will be back
again, and with such men as McGarry. Simpson, Cressy, Slater, Harkness, Bingham, Pierson, Cleveland, Whiting, and Jahraus to start with
a good team ought to be turned out.
A meeting was held by the old track team to elect a captain for
this year. Pierson was chosen and the above named men will make a
strong effort to win again the championship of Northern Michigan.
-:- Base Ball Many of the boys have shown a decided liking for base ball and it
is expected that a very good team will be turned out this year. This
game has been dead in the High School for the last few years, and
it is hoped that enough enthusiasm will be aroused this time to liven
up some of the fans who are interested.
Benefits Received From H. S. Athletics
Probably no one notices these benefits as much as the student
himself, but it is nevertheless true that the young fellow that gets
out after school for a night's practice in some kind of athletics, feels
much better for it. His mind is taken from his studies, and the blood
which has been supplying his brain with nourishment all day, now
goes to his muscles and relieves the brain from the stress which it
has been subjected to.
He can not help but feel better when, after a strenuous practice
at foot ball, he comes into the dressing room and takes a hot shower
immediately followed by a cold one and a brisk rub down. It sets his
blood tingling, his face takes on a healthy pink color and he feels
free and light hearted as you can tell by the rollicking songs he
sings and the boisterous way in which he sings them.
A person cannot say that this exercise is not good for a young
�fellow. Of course there 'is such a thing as too much of it, but if he
has common sense and a good coach, this is avoided. The work he receives after school refreshes him and makes him more capable of taking up the next day's studies.
These are only a few of the many benefits and are mostly physical ones. Others are to be had, such as self control on the foot ball
field, ability to think rapidly when in a tight place and others of like
character. Therefore it must be true that a High School student may
receive much benefit from the athletics allowed in the school.
-:- Rhymes and Jingles -:This little boy went to Trig class,
This little boy stayed to home;
This little boy got an awful good mark,
And this Mttle boy got none.
When a High School girl is working hard,
She's very fair to see;
And teacher thinks no little girl
Could any sweeter be.
But when the girl stops studying
She romps with such a noise;
That teacher thinks she's really worse
Than half a dozen boys.
Did you ever see a lobster ride a flea?
Did you ever see a Senior work till 3 (a. m.)
Did you ever? No, you never,
For it simply couldn't happen, don't you see.

�The Meet at Reed City I
I
N THE morning of May 29, 1907, the 10:50 train on the G. R. &
I. took with it on tits southward journey one of the best track
teams that the Traverse City High School ever produced.
There were fourteen fellows 'in the bunch and every one of them
trained down to the very last degree of perfection. They went without coach or trainer, as Mr. Davis could not leave his classes for the
next day, but in spite of this fact they took excellent care of themselves and showed that they were a bunch of fellows to be trusted.
They arrived in Reed City that afternoon and immediately secured rooms at the King House which was very gay, the next day,
with bright ribbons and banners. The meals at the hotel were excellent for the boys and fixed especially for them. Only once was there
a dtisturbance at the table and that was when Capt. Spooch took a
plate of cake from the waiter, and then something was doing for
sure.
On May 31, after a light dinner of eggs and toast the boys made
their way to the track where the events were to be pulled off. They
fixed up a dressing room in one of the sheds and were soon ready
to defend the Black and Gold against the other schools represented.
There were five schools present, and, placing them according
to the number of points won, were as follows: Traverse City, 78
points; Reed City. 26 points; Evart, 17 points; Bug Rapids, 11 points;
and Greenville 0 points.
It was simply a walk away for Traverse for they won nearly every first and many second places. Several of the old school records
were broken. Amtsbuechler tossed the shot 39 feet, 6 in., threw the
hammer 128 feet and whirled the discus 104 feet. Pierson broke the
local broad jump, clearing 19 ft., 11% inches.
The events were as follows: Foot ball punt: Wait, Traverse, 115
ft; Tindall, Big Rapids, 109 ft. 100 yard dash, Marks, Big Rapids,
10 4-5 seconds; Miller, Traverse, second place. Running high jump—
Pierson, Traverse, 5 ft., 6 in.; Ballacker, Reed City, 5 ft., 4 in. 440

�Foot Ball Team
OF 1907
HIS TEAM was butilt up out of almost new material very few
old men coming back to school. Those who left were Amtsbuechler, Fellers, Coplan, "Reddy" Hunter, Ellis, Miller, "Pat"
Heiges, "Blink" Moore, and Chervenka; and all that remained were the
following: Kehoe, Jahraus, Simpson, Pierson and McGarry. However,
with these old men and a bunch of new men Coach Davis brought
about a team which accompltished something that had not been done
for five years, and that was to defeat Petoskey.
The team at the first of the season started out successfully by defeating Manistee five to nothing. Then followed a streak of bad luck
which seemed as though it would follow the team through the rest of
the season.
Coach Davis rearranged the team and did everything in his power
to strengthen things, but the fault did not ltle in the weight and ability of the men to play individually. It lay in the fact that the team
could not play together. But along at the end of the season they finally conquered this difficulty and the consequences were that we
beat Petoskey.
The team owes very much to Prof. Davis for the faithful and constant assistance he gave them while workang. This team was made up
as follows:
Left End—Hall and Waite.
Left Tackle—Bauman.
Left Guard—Harkness and Cleveland.
Center—Petertyl.
Right Guard—Nelson and Monroe.
Right Tackle—Hanson and Pierson.
Right End—Simpson and Ludka.
Quarter—Evans.
Left Half—McGarry.
Full Back, Pierson and Kehoe.
Right Half—Lafonsee and Ludka.
The team as a whole passed a very successful season and few
were hurt. Simpson got a little rap on the head at Petoskey and Hank
Monroe got his ltittle finger badly injured. However, except for these,
no one was hurt and a good season enjoyed.
T
�The prospects for a 1908 foot ball team are very good, the only
men leaving on account of graduating being McGarry, Pierson and
Jahraus. All the rest of the regulars will be back and a good team
is assured. "Chub" ErVans at quarter will probably make a whirlwind next year as his record for 1907 is a splendid one for the cool
way in which he ran the team and the way he received the bumps of
the big fellows twice his size. His grit and ability to play was shown
time and again. Simpson is a good man, being a line sprnter and Bauman with his line hitting abilities ought to make good next season.
Lafontsee the boy ground-gainer, will be back and show them all how
the game is played. Petertyl at center with Harkness and Cleveland as guards will make a center line hard to break. Ludka by using
his sprinting abilities and cool head ought to make the turf fly some.
Thus as a whole the team of 1908 should be a very strong one and
add more victories to the list for the dear old black and gold.

He frequently was seen

Basket Ball Team
This team was organized along in the forepart of December,
1907. The prospects for a successful season were most encouraging
and unbounded enthusiasm accompanied the opening practices,
The players selected to represent the school were Cuy Hall and
Walter Hanson, baskets. George Whiting center and Fred Pierson and
Harry Hanson, guards. All were new at the game, but with the ex
cellent coaching of Mr. Ruggles were soon prepared to meet thctir opponents.
The first game was played at home in Campbells' hall on Jan.
Top Row--Whiting. Hall, McGarry. Middle Row--Hansen. Ruggles. coach, Pierson.
Bottom Row—Cleveland, Hanson.
�10, with the fast East Jordan H. S. team. They easily conquered
with a score of 17 to 11. Every player put up an excellent game.
On Jan. 17 the team went to Manistee, but Whiting missed the
train and therefore the team work during the game was broken up
and with the assistance of umpire conditions, imposed by the Manistee officials, the game was lost.
The game with Kalkaska on Jan. 24, 1908, was also played under
a bad handicap. The absence of Pierson and Whiting necessitating
the playing of Cleveland and McGarry, both new men at the game
and also resulted in a defeat.
The team was scheduled at Petoskey for Jan. 31, but the objections of the home faculty caused the game to be cancelled and the
team disbanded.
Without doubt if the season had not been so full of bad luck the
team would have made a better showing. As it was it made quite a
good showing, considering that this is only the boys' second attempt
at the game.

...The High School Band...
This organization which has made itself very much in evidence
Juring the past four years, has had for its chief characteristic its
ability to get there regardless of the "goods". As a music making
body, its reputation has always been of the worst, but as a means
to organize and increase High school spirit, it has always supplied
the demand. To advertise football games and field meets it has ever
been a success; never failing to let the people know that there was
something doing in the line of sports. In the contests and games, at

Freshies.)
2nd end man—"Say, but I made the awfullest break the other
day."
1st end man—"Why how was that?"
2nd end man—"I had just treated my girl to a $5 dinner when
she said, 'Bing, you're the dearest fellow in the world,' and guess what
I said."

A Diploma from the Traverse
City High School is a Possession Much to be valued
but an education is incomplete without the daily installment of fresh history to be found in the most
up-to-date newspaper.
The Evening Record
is the best daily newspaper circulated in the Grand
Traverse Region, and as a daily history is reliable
and up-to-the-minute.
�Extract from an oration heard in chapel:
The Egyptian darkness was promulgated by an ethereal halo encircling the tombs of acquiescing reality.
Wiley (in Am. Hist.)—"Miss Crotser, what is the preamble of the
Constitution?"
Miss U—"1 don't Know unless its that little first verse."
Mr. Davis (in Phys. Geog.)—"Mr, Whiting, in what state is St.
Paul?"
Mr. Whiting (quickly)—"Minneapolis."
Teacher (in Am. Hist.)—"On what committee was Benjamin
Franklin?"
Hobart (Sotto voce to Mac, who is side-tracked)—"Ways and
means."
Mac (with confidence)—"Ways and means committee."
Bing (With emphasis)—"That's it, ways and means committee."
But be wasn't.
Castle (In Physics)—"Whee, whoopee wow!"
Davis—"Now see here, Mr. Castle, there's no call
here."
of oratory
Teacher (in Eng. Lit.)—"In that sentence about brooding darkness, how is darkness used?"
Senior—"It is birdified."
Harkness (excitedly in debating club)—"If one ship, ships 120
tons of water going from Cuba to Florida, how much will a whole
fleet ship in time of war, with all ports closed, going from Florida
around Cape Horn?"
Junior—"What you readin'?"
Senior—"Procter's Chaulog."
Mr. Wiley—"All we have in the test will be reviewel in class."
Fraser (despondently)—"We might review the whole book."
Jan. 15: Staid Senors all excited over the advent of a new girl
in room 6.
Jan. 27: Heart to heart talk by Mr. Gilbert, subject, Why we
Fail.
Mr. Wiley—"Miss Parr, discuss the Albany Congress."
Miss P—"The Albany Congress met in New York City." (suddenly blushes.)

British mutilated our army."

Wiley (in Am. Hst.)—"What kind of a man was Tallyrand, Mr.
Mr. E—"He was a very Alley man."
Fraser (in Frig. Lit., sidetracked)—"In Beowulf the knights would
get killed at the feast and they got killed every night, but they were
different knights every night."
... Our Question Box ...
We regret that our question box had only one question but this
is answered in the following lines:
Yes, Mr, P.— , girls are very inconstant creatures. You should not
depend on them to treat you decently. The best way to get the favor
of a girl in your case would be to stay away from her as far as possible, for you remember the old saying that "absence makes the heart
grow fonder." You made the mistake of hanging around and looking
sad too much. Girls don't like that kind of courting.
Bingo (excitedly discussing exam. in Chemistry)—"Hornbeck said
that was amphorbus sulphur."
Mr. Wiley (liberally in Am. Hist.)—"Now I am going to give you
some notes on the bank."
Holcomb (authoritatively)—"Standard oil is sold the same place
it is raised."
Pingo (ind.gnantly in debating club)—"Any sane man that says
that is insane."
Mrs. Hess—"I am going to give you five lines less than usual tomorrow."
Jerry—"Gee! what will we do with all the extra time we'll have?'
Mr. Hornbeck—"Rubies containing more than two molecules of
water are not good gems."
Umlor—"What makes them change color?"
Ruby Grayson (hoarse whisper)—"O shut up!"

�Bingo (who has taken two years of German In vain)—"It
wouldn't do to call the Annual by a German name, because we couldn't
translate it."
Miss Osborne (in Eng.)—"I don't want you to write more than
1200 words."
(Suddenly attracted by a groan in Bill Fraser's direction.)
There yet may be peril but no man is able
To learn how to swim on his library table.

Mr. Bell (Eng. Lit.)—"The poem 'Eve of St. Agnes' was written

Mr. Davis (Civics)—"If a mortgage was foreclosed and the property sold for the amount of the mortgage, what will the owner get."
Class (in unison)—"Not a cent."
Davis—"Yes he will, he'll get off the place."
Nye (Angrily)—"I don't know of any reason on earth or any other place why you should be tardy all the time."
Teacher (in Eng. IX)—"What is the pronoun in 'Mary milks the
cow'?"
Freshie—"Cow. It stands for Mary."
Davis (disgustedly surveying Ancient Order of Invertebrates)—
"It's a good thing that we have zoology in the school; we can classify some of you and you wouldn't all be vertebrates either."
Some Freshy ran away with Mr. Davis' Physics text book.
Wanted to get wise.
Eng. Teacher—"Mr. Blaski, compare the adjective `glad'."
Mr. B.—"Glad, happder, tickled."
Davis (in Physics)—"Now if the surface of a body of a person of
average size is 18 sq. Inches." (Becomes confused.) )
Teacher (in Algebra IX)—"Now, Children, repeat your rule."
Children—"Change the sign of the subtrahend

(Suddenly becomes confused.)
... The Four Classmen
There was a tittle Junior
A sitting in the sun.
Along came a lesson
And oh, how he did run!
There was a little Sophomore,
A lying on the lawn
Down came a lesson,
And lo, Where has he gone?
There was a little Freshman,
A getting on his bike;
Down came a lesson,
And oh, how he did hike.
And last there was a Senior,
A working hard, you know;
Trying hard to see how far
That new base ball would go.
Mr. Wiley (in Eng. XI)—"I don't want any of you people to think
that you can pass this subject without ever studying."
Jerry (translating in German XII)—"Tie the boat loose, Johnny,
before the great storm comes up the valley and blows it on."
Teacher—"You shouldn't waste your paper so."
Soph—"It doesn't cost me anything."
Freshy—"No, I guess not, the way my tablets are disappearing."
There is always something doing
In the lives of famous men.
There is always something doing
That will pop out now and then.
Such as Bingham talking Dutch
And Bill Fraser working much.
These are incidents that happen (but seldom)
In the lives of famous men.

And now at last we say farewell
But hope that we may ever dwell
Kind friend, in recollections old
Until the wheel of time has told

�GREETING
N preparing the material of this Annual it has been the aim of the Senior Class to present to the
public a true picture of our High School and of life in our High School as it exists today. Whatever success we may have attained in doing this is due to a certain degree to the united efforts of
the Senior Class. But far be it from our purpose to claim all the credit. Had it not been for the co-operation of our teachers, of our superintendent and principal and of the other classes of the High School,
the Black and Gold would have been a practical impossibility. To these, therefore, we extend our heartiest thanks and good wishes, as well as to our advertisers without whose liberal contributions, this Annual would have been equally as impossible.
If our present plans are carried out, the class of '09 will be the first of our High School, to have a
regular so-called "Class Day." We wish that future graduating classes may also have a — Class Day."
And we hope also, in such a case,—that they may do as we have attempted to do—to make the Annual,
in the fullest sense of the word, a "Class Day Book."
We offer no apology to the class of 1907 for choosing the name of their Annual for our own. It was
done purposely and with the idea of perpetuating so well-chosen a name. And it was well chosen ! For
does not the Black and Gold stand for the High School of Traverse City, and does not that High
School stand in the very first rank in scholarship, in athletics, in oratory and in debate?
Success to the future editors of the "Black and Gold."

I. B. GILBERT, Su .erintendent
�MR. I. B. GILBERT.
R. I. B. GILBERT graduated from Olivet College in 1895, receiving his degree in natural science.
The next few months he spent in the Agricultural College of Michigan, specializing chemistry.
Later he took work at Harvard University. In the fall of 1895 he accepted the position as loine,ipal of the High School at St. Johns, Michigan, where he remained only one year for he was offered the
position of superintendent of the schools of Imlay City. After spending four years in Northville and St.
Johns, he came to Traverse City as superintendent of our schools.
Mr. Gilbert is genial and very approachable. His broad mind and sterling views have been displayed
to good advantage in the work which he has accomplished and in the tact with which he has undertaken
. it. All with whom he is associated, both teachers and pupils, respect him.

�MR. W. A. FERGUSON.
R. W. A. FERGUSON, principal of our High School, is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
M
Last year he held a position in the science department of the Duluth High School, entering
upon his present position last September. In his work among us he has done much to merit
praise. We know him as a man faithful to duty and striving to do what is best for the school and in
that he is surely successful. He has shown much interest in all the branches of work connected with
the school, in athletics, in debating and oratory, and in that laid out in the curriculum. The editors of
the Black and Gold take this opportunity to thank him for his generous assistance in getting together
the material. The Seniors will certainly leave the High School with the most kindly recollection of
Mr. Ferguson, as principal, during their last year there.
�THE FACULTY.
�MARION KANOUSE.
8—Miss Marion Kanouse has won many friends
during the year she has taught in our school. She is
an excellent teacher in mathematics. In all ways
Miss Kanouse has proved herself worthy of the respect in which all hold her. She is a graduate of
the Manistee High School and of the University of
Michigan. The seven years Miss Kanouse taught in
Sault Ste. Marie is proof of her ability as an instructor.
"She has so free, so kind, so apt. so blessed a
disposition, that she holds it a vice not to do more
than she is requested."
LYDIA KOENIG.
9—Miss Lydia Koenig, who has charge of the
higher classes of German, is a graduate of our High
School, and also of the Ypsilanti State Normal. She
is a native born German and consequently has a
pronunciation, which many, who have not had that
advantage, strive for in vain. Her ability as a
teacher of German is unquestionable and she has
won many warm friends among the High School
students by her personality and readiness to help in
any possible way.
•She is not made to be the admiration of all,
but the happiness of one."
EDITH LEWIS.
10—Miss Lewis, who is a graduate of the University of Michigan, came here at the beginning of
the second semester to teach English. She is proving herself most efficient as an instructor in that
subject and works with tireless energy to bring
the most out of her pupils. In the short time Miss
Lewis has been with us, she has won the friendship
of many.
"Fun gives you a forcible hug, and shakes
laughter out.of you whether you will or no."
�MARION NEY.
11—Miss Marion Ney, who is in charge of the
Commercial Department of our High School, completed the course in the Detroit Business University.
After teaching in the St. Johns, Negaunee and Iron
Mountain High Schools and at the Milwaukee Business College she came to us and is filling her position
here very efficiently. She has a personality which
has won many friends for her.
"If she has any faults, she has left us in doubt,—
At least, in three weeks, I could not find them out."
GRACE OSBORNE.
12—Miss Grace Osborne, a graduate of the University of Michigan, taught English IX, X and English Literature for a year and a half in our school.
Miss Osborne's ability as instructor is unquestionable. We were all very sorry to have her leave at
the end of last semester, but our wishes for the
hest of success in the future go with her.
"I have no secret of success, but hard work."

�CLASS POEM.
By MARGUERITE L. EVANS.
Wo are through our days in High School,
Now our studying is o'er,
We have left the school as seniors,
And as students come no more.
From today our pathways differ,
Fach his w ay in life shall make;
Defeat, may be, for some, the outcome,
Some renowned shall be, and great.
On life's rugged, hilly pathway,
We have passed one mile-stone hy,
We have left the days of childhood,
And with sorrow say, "Good-bye."
So upon this day we're gathered.
'Tis the day when we must part.
Though we're happy, ever joyful.
Still a sadness fills each heart.
happy hive the days, as students,
Sped their way of work and play.
And, though the sun at times was darkened,
Still the clouds have passed away.
Future, smiling. lies before us.
We do not know what it may hold;
But we'll always cherish dearly,
The school where waved the Black and Gold.
Four long years we've spent in High School,
And we sorrowfully look back,
To the days of work and pleasure,
'Neath the dear old Gold and Black.
Let us then take up our burden.
Let us start upon our way,
Let us face our fortunes bravely,
Bring the future, what it may.

��CLASS HISTORY.
BY EMMA HANSLOVSKY
HE rasping staccato of a phonograph had attracted the attention of the Faculty of the
High School and, as the principal gladly paid
the admission, they disappeared within the dark
portals of the moving picture show. By following
the usher they were given seats in the front row and
there they gravely anticipated the afternoon's entertainment which the posters without advertised to be
wholly original. Down the aisle came the well
known pianist, Roy Rorabacher, who played the accompaniment of the illustrated song, "High School
Days," which was well sung by Blossom Garland.
The picture represented scenes in and about the High
School grown so dear to these spectators through
years of association with it.
"Freshman" days were first thrown upon the
canvas and then the faculty saw group after group
bravely ascending the broad stair-way, and walking
down the halls peering into the many doors about
tl- cm. Having at last found their own room they
T
entered and a 1:if oi teacher assigned them seats. The
sound of a bell was followed by a scene of wild confusion, and then from every direction students poured
forth. Who could be more astonished than the
Faculty as their own faces could be discerned among
the mob, beckoning to stray Freshmen to guide them
to their proper rooms. A click announced a new
reel, entitled, "Sophomores."
Instantly the Faculty saw that this was a class
meeting. After much excited gesticulation, quiet
seemed to have been restored by a word from the
dignified president, recognized as "Andy" Eldred.
With supreme authority one wise Sophomore stepped
to the blackboard and wrote the names of several
neighboring places. Then the Faculty surmised the
cause of this meeting a sleighride. A greater disturbance ensued, for these Sophomores were apparently trying to vote. Amid the confusion, a number
was written with each place, and Silver Lake received the majority.
�"Well, I remember that they did have a good
time at that sleigh-ride," remarked the curly haired
occupant of the Faculty row as the familiar call of.
"All those not seeing two reels will please remain
in their seats," was heard above them.
A flash of light revealed a huge sack of peanuts
passing down the front row and the austere Faculty
with many witty remarks settled back in their seats ;
extremely satisfied. Again and again, during the
intermission the sack went it's rounds and again all
was dark.
A buzzing of machinery, and the word
"Juniors" was cast before their eyes. A surprised
exclamation from several of the Faculty might have
been attributed to a fleeting vision of their own faces.
This was chapel. Something was evidently astir for
there was a vacant seat in the Faculty row in the
pictures,—Mr. Wiley could not be found. As soon
as the sound of a bell was heard, a great rush for
the doors was made and again the scene changed.
Down the broad stairs rushed the band of Juniors
headed by two of their own number bearing aloft
amid the cheers of their comrades, a gorgeous table
cloth containing something. This was deposited before the door at the feet of the wily Wiley, too aston-
ished to do aught but grin. The cloth fell hack and
exposed bright tin flour-sifters, pans and similar
ware. The scene passed, and here was the recipient
of these gifts hurriedly, and with a satisfied grin on
his face thrusting the articles into a sack which he
labelled "Junk."
The shrill sound of the phonograph took the attention of the crowd for a few moments and then
that word, revered far and wide, "Seniors" illumined
the canvas. What appeared to be an Indian war
dance in the moonlight was then east before their
eyes. A splash was heard, water was seen, dashed
about, the crowd drew hack and th ere einergl'il
form, drenched and shivering—a Junior. The
glittering star, the brandish of a club announced the
arrival of a policeman who endeavored to disperse
the mob but to no avail. Again a rapid transition
and the same crowd was gathered beneath an are
light, freely administering stove-polish to the
countenance of a docile Junior while from the
faculty row came the words, "By the way, that coon
looks like Spencer Staake." "That must be the
Junior-Senior rush over those class colors that I've
heard so much about," was the answer,
A new reel was next put on, entitled "Senior
Class Day."
�This evidently took place on the school grounds
where a large platform had been erected in the shade
of the pines with a long wide walk leading to it. On
each side stood the members of the Junior class with
bowed heads and bearing evergreen chains on their
shoulders. With emasured steaps and slow those.
who by their dignity were easily known as
"Seniors," passed between the two lines of Juniors,
and ascended the steps also bearing their garlands
with which they adorned the railing and the rear of
the platform. After these highly honored Seniors
had taken their places, the humble Juniors paid their
last respects by hanging the evergreen chains as
their tokens about the outside of the platform.
During all this time the Faculty had noticed that
an orchestra must have been playing for they could
see the wild motions the leader was making with his
baton. This soon ceased and there arose the well
known form of the superintendent. Our fair-haired
valedictorian came before the eyes of the Faculty
and they judged from the great applause that she
played her part well. In succession came other members of the royal band who revealed the past, present and future. Between these revelations appeared
the highly accomplished musicians of their number.
Afterwards they were somewhat surprised to again
see themselves appear and to be evidently congratulating these most successful Seniors of '09.
Once more some one called, "All who have
not seen the four reels remain in their seats." Hurriedly the sack of peanuts made its last round and
then the Faculty, passing out of the building, were
greatly moved by the things they had seen.

�HIAWATHA.
Thus they greeted Hiawatha,
Thus his parents made him welcome
When he reached the reservation
After four bright years of schooling.
Where the pale-face trains the redmen.
Proudly did his mother eye him
Eyed his necktie, eyed his dopestiek ;
Fyed his waistcoat, socks and shoestrings;
Eyed the cuffs upon his trousers;
Eyed his dinky gum-drop derby ;
Eyed them all and then was silent.
Far too proud was she for talking
But his father spoke in plenty,
"Gar-me-poo-wah" meaning "soak him.''
"Los-ki-tah-wis" meaning "lemon."
"Won-by-boo-dam" meaning "rotten."
"Toom-bish" "something awful."
"I3oc-glub" meaning "Rah, Rah, Rah. Boys."
"Ugh-swat" meaning "let me at him.''
Thus his parents made him welcome;
Then, with sad and dismal gruntings.
Incoherent, pessimistic,
Then he got a "Swig-hic-pi-i"
Paleface calls it heap big skate on.

CLASS PROPHECY.
vx
BY RUBY ANDERSON
( )W strange and sedate everything was about
the place, indicating plainer than words my
aunt's eccentricities. She had died two
weeks before this leaving me sole heiress to a handsome fortune and this beautiful, but strange home.
Yet in spite of its. pecularities, there was something
fascinating about the house and especially about the
large, comfortable fire-place, before which 1 was
sitting, this cold stormy winter's night, trying to
read. It was of no use ! Try as I would I found
myself marveling at the change in my fortunes, for
bachelor-maids as well as bachelors can day-dream.
As I leaned over the fire-place to stir the dying
embers, the flames began to leap up in great excitement and before my astonished eyes, there appeared
the house of representatives crowded to its doors,
every person intent upon the speaker in whose noble
features I recognized our old classmate and president, Andrew Eldred. After the delivery of the
speech that made him famous for all time, there
H
crowded around in order to congratulate him, three
other members, Bernie Pearce, ambassador to England ; Robert Loudon, ambassador to Germany, and
Bessie Masters, the wife of a famous diplomat.
The glowing flames hovered around the andirons, forming with the tongues of fire, the walls of
a brilliantly lighted ball-room. Here, I was not surprised to find two of our members as reigning belles
of the season, Laura Hanslovsky and Florence Crotser. They were gazing with intent interest at the
doorway, where a gay society gentleman with many
giggles, was discussing with an immaculate, monocled companion, fitted with cane and tall silk hat.
the latest works on Mormonism and Polygamy by
the renowned writer, Bessie Corbett. I was not sure
of their faces but believed they were Ben Holcomb
and Gilbert Shilson.
The fire burned brighter until there dashed
along the streets of New York, a man driving a pair
of spirited horses, of course, Frank Ashton. How-
�ever, he was on an errand of mercy, for he was
carrying provisions to an old class-mate, nee Mary
Parr, who had been in succession, Mrs. Sulusky, Mrs.
Bambusky and was now Mrs. Skedoosky, and in
straightened circumstances. Then a quieter flame
told me that others of our class had tried the bonds
of matrimony, Marguerite Evans, to whose charms
a French dancing master had fallen victim,—
Catherine Paffhausen, who loves to sit quietly at
home beside a tall man, whom she addresses as
"dear John," and Anna Steward, now Mrs. Sponge,
who cannot understand why her little Sponges do
not delightfully absorb her own beloved Latin.
Now the tongues of fire twisted into new life,
mingled with the flames leaping from a modern
vaudette, which Lou Harkness, the proprietor,
placidly watched burn, as he smoked his cigar and
wondered what insurance he would receive from the
"Harold Dumbrille Insurance Company." There
was some rumor that the fire was started intentionally but Mr. Harkness declared that it was the fault
of the electrician, George Petertyl, though this seems
hardly possible, considering his reputation.
Now there loomed before me, the imposing walls
of a rising new college in New Zealand. especially
strong in science and no wonder, for Mills Dean
was its president. The college was very prosperous
as might be expected, under such able instructors
as Lizzie Ryker teaching English, Lola McClain History and Pearl Thornbury in charge of the Language .
department. The success was partly due to the influence and contributions of the well known missionary physician, Hortense Martinek.
The flames suddenly leaped higher in excitement and I saw Frank Bauman winning laurels in
1-1-.e Olympian games. After the contests, the hero
was taken to the most famous hotel of the place. the
success of which might be attributed to the chef.
Alton Bennett. The flames continued in their steady
glow and revealed to me a theater crowded to its
doors while scores of people were turned away, for
all were anxious to hear the company composed of
Blossom Garland, soloist, Roy Rorabachcr, pianist,
and Charlie Rickard, the dramatist. In one of the
fashionable boxes sat George Whiting, the millionaire, and Howard Orellick. now also a wealthy mail,
having made a fortune by inventing a labor-saving
device. Here, I saw, accompanied by a fashionable
lady, Hugh Barnard, the author of the "Modern
Romeo and Juliet," which sold at ten cents per copy.
In front of him were seated a number of poorly
dressed children, cared for by Vida \Varkup and
�BeulahIlogg, whose earnest work among the poor
was known throughout the city.
The flames. if possible, seemed to burn even
brighter and showed me a great crowd of people,
composed mostly of men. They were standing before the doors of the establishment of Estella Cole
and TA wise Howard, which bore the sign, "Hairdressing and Manicuring Done While You Wait.
Special Prices for Men." Suddenly the door opened
and there came in view, Stella Decker, the leading
lady of a great opera, followed by Georgetta Ebner
a New York society belle, who was quickly driven
away by a pair of spirited horses. They had scarcely
left when two men, Arthur Bachant, a great financier, and one of the leading men of Wall Street,
and Howard Morgan, New York's most skilled civil
"u gineer, entered hurriedly.
The scene now changed to Southern Italy, where
in one of the great operas, was playing the worldfamous violinist, Mozelle Bennett. The opera house
gave place in turn to a Pacific liner on which was
traveling Harry Gardner, a lawyer of no little note.
On the same ship, there chanced to be another of
our classmates, Mary Adams. She had just finished
"Adams' Unabridged Dictionary" in which all the
vowels were marked.
But who was this striking looking man, the flames
were portraying? He was explaining the many uses
of the hand mirror to Flossie Campbell, the artist
model. To be sure, he could be and was no other than
Fred Atkinson. The flames crackled loudly, and I
seemed to hear the clear, determined voice of William Palmer, energetic and successful in bringing
about an important ovengelistie movement. A surprising scene was next revealed. I saw our old
classmate, Will Fraser, living happily in a comfortable farm-house with his sweetheart of former days.
I gazed more closely into the flames and to my
delight. I beheld the quiet familiar streets of Traverse City. And Oh ! How vividly did they recall the
memories of my never to be forgotten school-days !
A pretty woman, surrounded by a merry group of
little children, was coming toward me. As she approached I recognized her as Emma Hanslovsky, a
kindergarten teacher. Just then she spoke to Roma
Evans, who was still making his way to the public
library where he is undoubtedly now the librarian
The flames burned steadily on and I beheld a large
drug-store, where Harry Ayres was giving a refreshing drink to Morris Bell, still a postman, having been able to fill that position without any difficulty. But now the flames died down until nothing
�remained but the glowing embers, and there came
into view, in a school house on a western plain, Hilda
Johnson. the well beloved teacher of her little dark
pupils.
I awoke with a start and there came over me
the peculiar terror of one alone without a light in
a great house. I shivered with the cold and half
incredulous, gazed into the fire-place where now
only the ashes of my bright fire remained. It had
all been so vivid that with the greatest difficulty
even then, did I realize that only in my dreams had
I seen the class of 1909.
�LEWIS CASS DEBATING CLUB.
BY BEN HOLCOMB.
N the fall of 1904 Principal R. L. Nye organized
the Lewis Cass. Debating Club, in order that the
High School students might have an opportunity
to gain a practical knowledge of debating, public
speaking and parliamentary usage. The club was
very successful and has been continued up to the
present time. The personnel of the club has changed
each year, graduating members leaving and others
being elected to fill their places; but although the
last of the fifteen charter members left two years
ago, the high standard of efficiency has been kept up.
It was feared that with Mr. Nye's departure
the club would be allowed to decline, but under the
efficient leadership of President Eldred the club was
reorganized, new members were elected to fill
vacancies, and enthusiasm was raised to a high pitch.
The club was divided into five teams of three
members each, and ten debates for the championship followed, at the end of which the winning team,
composed of Andrew Eldred, Harry Gardner and
I
Clare Griffin. were given a banquet in the physics
laboratory.
The club has been more active this year than
ever before, in outside work. They took up the
annual declamatory contest, the mock trial and the
East Jordan debate, all of which were carried to a
successful finish, both financially and otherwise.
Great thanks are due to the honorary members
of the club, Mr. Baldwin and Principals Ferguson,
Hornsby and Wood, for their aid and encouragement in the year's work. Though all were new to
the club, all gave the hearty support which was
necessary to its success. Mr. Hornsby especially has
helped in looking up briefs and material, spending
much time in doing so.
It is to be hoped that the interest in debating
will continue, that the future of the club will be assured. not only next year, but for many years to
come, and the club will become what its members
have tried to make it, a beneficial and necessary adjunct of the Traverse City High School.

�GERMAN CORRESPONDENCE.
Much enthusiasm has been aroused among our
students of German this year in procuring a correspondent from a foreign country, and letters have been
eagerly awaited. Between fifteen and twenty names
were sent from our Junior and Senior classes.
Perhaps a word of explanation will be necessary
here. There have been certain stations in Germany
and other countries established for the purpose of
promoting an exchange of letters between the
students of different nations. These bureaus are
managed on purely philanthropic principles. For
only a very small fee is charged to secure one a correspondent. The number of applicants to the bureau
yearly grows larger. In the last ten years there
have been over twenty-three thousand applications
sent in. Pupils are allowed to apply only when they
are judged competent of such correspondence by
their teachers and then only by the agreement that
the exchange of letters will be kept up at least one
year, each participant writing a letter every month.
The directors of the bureau strive to secure for each
applicant some one of either like circumstances or
education, in order that there may be no envious feeling on either side. By means of this exchange of
letters and often photographs, lasting friendships
have sprung up. Al any of the correspondents have
been able to visit one another's homes.
Several of those who applied for a correspondent this year. have already received interesting letters and postals from the Fatherland. By these
letters northeastern and western Germany are
represented, also Bohemia.
Our students have been exceedingly fortunate
in securing correspondents from among the better
and more educated classes of German families, who
can write entertainingly of all that may interest us.
Very excellent descriptions have been received of
Kolberg in Eastern Pomerania, and its large bathing
resort ; of Kremis situated among the vineyard clad
mountains of Bohemia; of titre. historically interesting to all students of histiOry and literature as the
place about which centers 1chillers famous drama.
"Wallenstein ;" and of the 'beauties of the Rhine
country.
Without doubt, a great degree of benefit will be
derived from these letters not onlyfor the individual
but for the class as a whole. They will give an
impetus to the study of the foreign language and a
desire to know more about the geography and the
people of the country in which that language is
spoken.
�OUR CLASS OF 1910.
\Iv
I
HEN the class of 1910 came into the Traverse ( ity High School, it was one of the largest classes
that had yet entered the school. It was composed of the very brightest little "Freshies" and
there arose immediately a rivalry between the classes of '09 and '10.
These freshmen at once entered into all social and athletic events with the most intense interest
and enthusiasm. If help were needed for any social affair, the dignified Seniors did not hesitate to call
on the little "Freshies."
Although the class was prominent from the first in social activities and athletic sports. it did not
forget to study and it was soon recognized as being high in scholarship as well as in other phases of
school life.
This interest in school affairs and studies has been kept up during the Freshman, Sophomore and
Junior years. To what extent we will succeed in maintaining our record is not yet known, but the
future seems very bright, and the "Freshies" that were, have great prospects of soon becoming the best
of Seniors.

�DAS KNAEBLEIN SAH GEN HIMMEL.
BY WILLIAM PALMER.
Ein Knaeblein einmal mit ernsten Gesicht
Sass eines Abends in Sternenlicht
Er hatte niemals so viele gesehen,
End sie shienen im Himmel so wunderschoen.
"Ich weiss nicht wer hat die Sterne gemacht"
So hat er vor sieh hingedacht.
"Ich gehe nach Haus den Vater zu fragen,
\ ielleicht 1;ann er es mir klare machen."
Vater, wer stellte Sterne im Himmel so hoch,
Giebt's jemand in der Welt so gross?
Sie scheinen so hell seit es dunkel war,
Und machen den Himmel so huebsch und klar,
Ich wuensche einen fuer mich allein
Einen blitzenden Stern so schoen und rein."
Dann hat der Vater verstaendlich gesagt,
"Der Gott hat die Sterne im Hiinmel gemacht.
Er machte einmal die ganze Welt,
End hat die Sterne im Himmel gestellt.
Wenn die Sonne am Abend birgt ihr Gesicht
Dann geben die Sterne ihr heiteres Licht.
Gott machte die Baeume und Gebuesche,
Alle Laender, Seen und die Fische,
Und Katzen, Pferde, Voegel, und Bienen,
Auch Hunde, Schafe, Kuehe und Ziegen.
Jedes Ding in der Welt hat Gott Gemaeht
So maechtig die Worte die er sagt."
"IJnd macht Gott die Vaeter, Muetter und Knaebchen ?'
Fragte der Kleine und die Maedchen.
"Ja gewiss, mein lieber Sohn;
Jetzt sitzt er im Himmel auf grossem Tron
Und macht immer die Menschen in der Welt,
Und giebt ihnen Freuden viel und Geld
Und alle die fromm im Leben sind,
End befolgen ihn wie den Vater das Kind;
Diese nimmt Gott zu letzt im Himmel zu wohnen
Und giebt ihnen alien goldene Kronen.
0 dann lasst uns alle treulich befolgen ;
End am Ende des Lebens den Himmel bewohnen
Kommt alle zum Himmel wo Gott ist cias
Wo Freude unendlich und kein Sehnen mehr ist."

�YE FRESHIE.
As he sees hinself.
As we see him.
As his teacher sees him.
�THE ALUMNI.
BY JAMES T MILLIKEN.
HE relationship existing between the alumni
and its alma mater should be, and generally
is, of a most pleasant and loyal nature.
Graduates look back upon the days spent in school
as choice ones, furnishing pleasant memories. The
friendships formed there, in many instances, continue through life. The undergraduate, absorbed as
he is with school work, debating societies, sports and
the various interests which go to make up school life,
has his vision confined, largely, to the present,—to
the results to be completed during his days in school.
His ambition for high standings spurs him on to a
bigger, better, stronger effort for the present. He
is anxious to become a member of some fraternity,
or to support a victorious athletic or debating team,
and in his overzealous desire, oftentimes forgets, for
the time being, the high standard to which every suc-
T
cessful school must attain. It is just here that live,
retive, loyal alumni are of the utmost value. Endow-
ments of millions of dollars have been bequeathed to
colleges and schools through this strong feeling of
loyalty. Graduates should encourage a high standard of scholarship, and should continually demand a
high standard of play in all sports and games. It
should be their desire to see the spirit of fair play
prevail, to see the proper balance maintained between the studies and extra curriculum activities.
The alumni should serve as a balance, pulling ahead
when activities are slack, and holding back when the
occasion demands. Our schools of the highest
standard devote some time to extra curriculum work,
such as debating, athletics, etc., but regulate these
interests in a careful manner. For the active initiative spirit in this work, so essential to success, every
school is almost entirely dependent upon the undergraduate body. The harder and more ciluisistently
the members work, support, train and prepare themselves for the various contests. teams, etc., the
greater will be the support given and interest taken
by the alumni. A good debating team, a strong
�oratorical club, a winning athletic team, and the
maintenance of a high standard in regular academical work will bring honor and renown to the school,
to its graduates and its undergraduates. It should
be the aim, then, of all undergraduates to help bind
the alumni together by continually keeping their
school in the front rank. The interest one takes in
the school he attends should never cease upon graduation. He has for four years been given teaching,
training and opportunities; he has received everything and has given but little in return. It is when
he leaves school, when he becomes an alumnus that
he can be of value. A president of a well known
college said that he could always judge a school by
the activity of the alumni. Such well known institutions as Yale, Michigan, Harvard and Princeton owe
much of their success to the continued loyalty and
support of the students who have graduated from
these institutions.
A High School undergraduate does not always
appreciate to the fullest extent, the opportunities he
is receiving. It is when he becomes an alumnus and
is able to look back over the ground, that he realizes
the carefully laid plans, the logical systems of advance which may enable him to receive that symmetrical development, the broad education, so essential to success in the real battle of life.
Education has now taken on another meaning.
In High School days it was difficult to understand
how Latin or the study of chemistry would help one
to push one notch higher after graduation. We understand it now,--we are proud to be graduates of a
High School and are grateful to those whose work
and energy has made it possible. We are especially
glad to be connected with the Traverse ( ity I ligh
School. There may he schools of great fame in
scholarships and athletics, but their achievements
can never touch the warm spot in our hearts as do
those of our own alma writer. Our teachers seem a
little better, our scholarships a little higher, our
buildings and grounds a little finer, our athletic
teams a little stronger than those of any other school.
It is our school and we like it best.
The alumni of the Traverse City High School
are proud of the high standard of scholarship which
it maintains, of its base ball, foot ball and track
teams, and various movements. They are more titan
glad to see an Annual issued, and congratulate the
class that has the energy, ambition and enthusiasm
necessary to accomplish such a purpose. At all times
and under all conditions the alumni of Traverse
City's High School wish their alma mater a continued successful career and are willing and eager
to lend their aid and support to this end.
�The Commercial Department.
tap
BY ALONA GHASE.
I 1 N department is one of the most important
in the high School. It is here, many times
that students get their first ideas about business life and methods. They acquire a knowledge
of the commercial world and here they can fit themselves to enter upon the duties of that life.
The commercial department was established in
the year 1898. The first teacher was Miss Euphetnia
Jickling. She taught practically the same subjects
as are now taught with the exception of shorthand.
In 1901 Mr. W. P. Needham took charge and during
the last two years in which he taught. the bank was
added to the book-keeping department. He remained
until 1905 when Mr. H. J. Ruggles was secured to fill
the position. Mr. Ruggles was a graduate of the
( leary Business College of Ypsilanti, and introduced
in the school, the Cleary system of book-keeping.
T
which is still used at the pre, it time. At one time
business was carried on between the Needham Business College and the High School classes. In 1908
the emporium was added. completing this department. At the close of the term AI r. Ruggles tendered
his resignation, and it was with regret that it was
accepted. However, the school was very fortunate
in securing the services of Al iss Marion Ney. She is
a very competent instructor and has won .many
friends among the students. The Pitman system of
shorthand is now used, having been changed from
the Lindsey to the present one.
In the typewriting department there are eight
machines; one Oliver, one Remington' and six Fox
machines, two new ones having been added near the
beginning of this last semester.
The students who have learned in the last school
year to transact business by modern business
methods, bespeak the success of this department.
�SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.
BY FRED ATKINSON.
HE scierice department of the Traverse City
High School is among the best of its kind in
i l'e state. Although not fully equipped with
(‘very piece of apparatus possible for conducting the
many experiments, the department ranks high in
quality and in the amount of work done.
The
branches of science taught in this department are
quality and in the amount of work done.
The branches of science taught in this department are physics, chemistry, botany zoology,
physical geography and physiology, which are
taught by two very capable instructors. Messrs.
Hornbeck and Baldwin.
Mr. Hornbeck has
charge of the physics, chemistry and physiology
classes, the first two of which require
laboratory practice, two hours a week for physics
and three hours a week for chemistry. Recitations
botany and zoology being taught as one subject for
the whole year.
In the physics department. the equipment is exceptionally good, there being such instruments as a
T
Scheiders large induction coil, suiin hle for w i reless

and the fine balances necessary in physical work,
About all that this department is in need 0r is a
few more instruments for physical measure and precision. There is also a very good equipment of apparatus in the chemical department. among which
there are a complete set of generators. fine balances
and combustion furnaces, the only need is a more
modern laboratory. In the botanical and zoological
department there is a complete set of dissecting
microscopes and seven compound microscopes. the
principal wants being a small green-house for growing plants and a few aequaria for keeping material
alive for zoology. The equipment in the physiological department consists of a complete set of physiological models worth about $250, a human skeleton,
el:arts, etc. In the near future Mr. Hornbeck hopes
to erect a wireless station which will greatly aid in
placing the interest of the science department of our
High School above that of the average.
�THE LIBRARY.
s. ;e: of the most important features of the High
school is the library.
Beginning in 1884 with less than fifty
vidumes. it has steadily increased until at present there is it splendid collection Of seventeen hundred aii(1 seventy-five books. Before 1893, funds
were appropriated by the board of education, for
the library, but since the establishment of the Iligh
school lecture course in that year, the profits derived from it, being about seventy-five dollars annually, have been used for that purpose.
The library is of great importance to the
students. especially those who take history and English. There are special references for history.
ancient, modern and American. for English and
American literature and for civics and science, toget her with many books on general information.
The library is also supplied with the International
and Britanniea Encyclopedias as well as a large
number of good biographies.
It will he well, perhaps, to outline a series of
questions which future librarians will find of great
value. No less than fifty times a day. the librarians
0
Nvith such questions as the following:
a re ay, 1st
"When, is AIL Ferguson?" "Say! I want a book on
that-that-that, oh you know the question in history.
The one about the Indians.'' "How soon will Mr.
Perguson be here?" "I want something on the fight
between a Greek and a lion." "Has our principal
arrived yet?" "Have you the 'Stage Struck Girl' or
'Alice in Blunderland' in this library?" One day a
young lady came into the library and demanded a
biography. "Whose biography do you wish?" "I
want a biography, just a common biography, number
487." On examination the book proved to be an encyclopedia. The most common mistake made by the
students is. however, that many of them take a
librarian for a Ferguson compass. It takes but a
short time to get acquainted with the books, but the
author advises none to apply for the position, if
such a person is contemplating pursuing a "Get
Rich Quick" plan; but if a person wishes to become
acquainted with a portion of the hook realm he will
find the work easy and pleasant.
Librarians—Andrew Eldred, Alton Bennett,
Edna LaFranier.
�For a number of years the High School has had
a class in music. The purpose of this course is to
create in the students an appreciation for the better
class of music.
Many students while studying in this class have
found that they have very fine voices, and their
taste for good music has been cultivated as far aspossible.
Miss Lu McManus is the present instructor and
is very capable, she having received her training
from Kimball, one of the best professors in Oberlin
College.
The grade of music studied in the High School
is shown in the pieces which were selected by Miss
-McManus. among which are the following:
Mendelsohn's "0 Great Is the Depth,"
"Gloria" from Mozart's, "Twelfth Mass," "The
Pilgrims' Chorus" from Tannhauser, and Gounods'
"Praise Ye tl7e Father." The latter was presented
by the chorus in chapel on the 16th of November in
a very creditable manner.
On the 31st of Alarch, the chorus of fifty voices
directed by :Miss ThcM anus and accompanied by Roy
Rorabacher, presented to the public at Steinberg's
Grand opera house, the cantata "The Building of
the Ship." The words of this selection were taken
from Longfellow's poem of the same name, and the
music was composed by Henry Lahee, a renowned
composer. Those having special parts were :
Sopranos—Lucile Holliday, Naomi Finley, Florence Hills.
Contraltos—Edith Bowen. Bessie Smurthwaite,
Frances Putnam.
Basses—Cuy Hall, Art Bachant, Claude Cressy.
Tenors—Glen Stanley, Harry Gardner.
All of the parts were well carried and the
chorus was exceptionally good. It certainly gave
evidence of very good training and hard work.
�MANUAL TRAINING ROOM.
�Manual Training.
vI
B ( HOWARD MORGAN.
ANI'AL TRAINING is fast becoming one of
the essentials of the common school education, and is already strongly established
in a number of the higher preparatory schools and
colleges of the country.
That we have such a department in our schools
is due, first to the generosity of Mr. A. Tracy Lay,
and secondly to the earnest efforts of our superintendent, I. B. Gilbert, who for years has agitated this
question.
About a year ago Mr. Lay became interested in
this course, and informed Mr. Gilbert, that he
would give whatever was needed to install a firstclass manual training and domestic science department in our schools to be known as the "A.
Tracy Lay Manual Training School."
At the beginning of the school year 1908-09 a
room was fitted up in the basement of the Central
building, as a work-shop. The equipment consists of
20 single benches, with a full equipment of bench
tools. Three individual motor lathes were installed;
and this with the benches makes an equipment,
which affords instruction to 150 boys each 'week,
There is also a class of High school students in
mechanical drawing. Boys from the 7th, 8th
grades and High school classes are admitted to the
shop-work, while the 5th and 6th grades have equipments with which they work in their own grade
rooms. In the 5th and 6th grades there arc at present about 165 boys taking this work, so that this new
department gives instruction to over 300 boys.
All of the equipment in this shop is first-class,
and there is not a tool, which a carpenter could refuse to work with. The lathes are of the latest pattern, and .with their one-half horse power motors
�form the most economical power that can be obtained.
By the end of this school year, two domestic
science kitchens will be furnished, one in the Boardman Ave. building and one in the Elmwood Ave.
building.
When these are finished Mr. Lay's gift will
amount to about $2,800. This will give the Traverse City High school an equipment which any
school in the state might feel proud of for its first
year's effort.
WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH THIS EQUIPMENT.
Air. Earl Garinger. a graduate of the Western
Normal School, was placed in charge of this department, at the beginning of the school year, and certainly has made fine progress in the work up to date.
When it must be remembered that, on entering this
department 90 per cent of the boys could not saw a
board off straight, and dress it down, one can see
the difficulties he has overcome in starting his
classes.
The first work is in planing a piece of wood
until it is perfectly square. This does not seem a
hard exercise until one has tried it, and found out
by experience. The next work taken up is the study
and construction of joints, which are hard exercises.
After becoming familiar with the tools, and their
use, the boys are set to making some exercise such
as a clock shelf, or some object which can be used
in the home.
As this is but the first year we have had the
course of study, nothing but the simplest exercises
in furniture construction can be undertaken.
After the department has been installed several
years, the High school classes will be able to do such
advanced work, as pattern making and the construction of chairs and tables.
In the mechanical drawing class, which is open
only to High school students, rapid progress has been
made. Mr. Garinger is a careful instructor and
leaves no point unexplained.
The study first taken up is the use of the various
instruments and from this point is carried on until
the pupil is familiar with the work of making drawings and blue prints.
This is a valuable course of study, as it is used
in all of the engineering courses of study in the
universities.
Our wood turning lathes were not installed until
Christmas vacation, of the year 1908, but a good
deal has been accomplished in the short time we
have had them.
Mr. Garinger can be congratulated on the success of his first year's work in our manual training
department.
�Drawing and Art.
L
AST September the High school drawing class,
under the instruction of Miss Jessie Stout, of
Marshall, began its year's work. One hour
on each Wednesday and Thursday was given to this
course, the first lessons being on nature studies. Later
in the fall, designing was taken up. in connection
with craft work. This portion of the course was
very interesting and useful for at it's termination,
bags, card-eases and other leather articles were exhibited.
After the holidays came perspective work in still
and real life, which continued for about two months.
At present Japanese studies are under construction,
and the remainder of the term will include designing,
nature and landscape work.
Much pleasure and benefit has been derived from
this work, due not to talent alone, but to the interest, capability and character of the teacher, Miss
Stout. To her the class turn to show their appreciation, regretting only, that more time could not be
given to the course.
�DOMESTIC SCIENCE ROOM.
�DOMESTIC SCIENCE.
i
F
BY CONSTANCE HOYT.
VERYONE recognizes how very important it
is that each girl should be skilled in the art
of cooking. Therefore the importance of
domestic science in the schools cannot be overestimated, for poorly cooked food is the 'cause of many
of the ills to which the flesh is heir.
As one enters our domestic science room, he is
at once impressed by the neat appearance it presents, and the girls in their write aprons and caps
arc indeed a pleasing sight. The equipment of our
kitchen is most excellent in every respect, and everything there is kept in perfect order. However, we
are still in need of a dining room, in order that we
may perfect ourselves in the art of serving.
A certain amount of the fund apportioned to
the domestic science is reserved for serving dinners.
A few weeks ago, our domestic science class served
a four-course dinner, at which the members of the
teachers' committee of the Board of Education were
guests of honor.
In our study of domestic science, we acquire
a knowledge of the five different classes of food, of
what each is composed. and the function of each food
in our body. Besides this we learn " how to boil
water without burning it." which is indeed an accomplishment of which to be proud.
As this branch of our local schools becomes better organized and more fully appreciated. we expect
that it will include all of our girls. When this
millenium is reached, it will mean a happy. contented
and prosperous future for the young men of Traverse City. Now who can say that the Traverse City
young ladies have not adopted the slogan- of the
Queen City, and done their share in making it
"Good today" and "Better tomorrow"?

�"AN EXCEPTION TO THE RULE."
All the examinations were over except. Latin,
You had just finished algebra and were quite sure
you had passed. But oh! that dreadful Latin exam.
When you reached home after school you took
your books out on the porch and began to study. It
was such a lovely afternoon and so much pleasanter
on the porch.
"Conditional sentences referring to present
or
Isn't that a nice horse going by?" You
wished you had a horse.
"Conditional sentences—Oh! there goes Alice
driving their auto." You waved your hand at her,
and my! how you longed for an automobile, which
you could run.
"Conditional sentences referring to present or
past time implying nothing are in the
" "Oh!
look at that scarlet tanager. Isn't he a beauty?"
It was the first one you had seen this year and
you must go birding after exams were over.
If it
only wasn't spring you knew you could study.
Picking up your books you went up to your
room and studied industriously until supper time.
After supper you went at it again, and were just in
the midst of "ad, ante, in, inter, ob"
When
"Break the News to Mother" sung slowly and with
much expression arose from the kitchen.
Never mind you wouldn't listen, "ad, ante, in,
inter, ob, post, prae, pro, sub and super take
the
"Break the News to Mother" still came
to your ears for about the fifty eleventh time. Didn't
that girl know enough to keep still when you were
studying? So you rushed down stairs and told her
to please keep quiet. Then you went back up stairs
and went to bed resolving to get up early in the
morning to study.
�Next morning you awoke with a start and
looked at the clock. Eight o'clock, no time for
study. You dressed and ate hurriedly and went to
school. During examination you alternately chewed
your pen and wrote.
Nearly everyone had gone when you left. You
read your paper through and hoped you had passed,
but expected that you had flunked.
A week later you went back after your marks.
You laughed and talked about flunking as if it were
a common occurrence• Then you got your card.
Algebra—Exam E, Class G, Average G.. Joy,
that was better than you expected and little trickles
ran up your spine. Latin—Class F, Exam D. Average D.
Just as you expected, but in spite of yourself.
little trickles ran down you spine. Then someone
yelled, "Did you pass in everything?" "Naw,
flunked in Latin." Then you laughed and showed
your paper to every one. One would have thought
you were the proudest creature on the earth.
Then when you took your card home "To Break
the News to Mother" did you laugh?
But ah ! that is another story.
Finis.
�CLASS DAY.
EVER before in the history of .our High School
has any graduating class had a "Class Day,"
but now with the co-operation of the teachers
we have succeeded in establish ing a custom which
we hope the classes in the future will observe. Our
purpose is to make "Class Day" symbolical of genuine Senior class spirit : to make it a day dear to
the heart of every graduate. We may have valuable
thoughts brought before our minds for consideration
by the professors who talk to us in the Baccalaureate sermon and on Commencement night, but
those thoughts can never become a real and loving
part of us; and they will not cling in our memories
as that part of our exercises in which we ourselves
are speakers.
If we can make our first Class Day one that
each Senior will remember with the kindliest regard, then we shall in some measure have achieved
success. Yet, it never can be all that we wish it to be
N
if we do not work together with :1 single purpose
untainted by petty jealousies. The very name suggests the spirit which ought to prevail, a sentiment
of love and sincerity in every act and word. If we
look upon that part assigned us as mere drudgery
to be performed because we cannot have it otherwise, the true spirit and meaning of class day, the
real end in view, is lost, and our labor is in vain.
This is our day and will be what we make it. If each
one takes hold and pushes in the right direction, it
will be a success; a success worthy of the largest
graduating class that ever bade "Good-bye" to this
High School. But, on the other hand, if each one
says, "Let someone else do this who can do it better than I," our Class Day and our efforts will be
Put to shame. Let us strive then, to make this day
one which not only we ourselves, but all who are
present with us, shall remember with pleasure,—our
First Class Day!
�CLASS DAY PROGRAMME.

�SALUTATORY.
BY ANDREW ELDRED.
Salve! In ancient times, the Roman was wont
to convey to his friends in this single word of greeting his wishes of good-fortune, prosperity, health
and happiness. In this, our salutatory, we greet
you in the same way and our greeting conveys
the same good will. We desire to feel that our
salutatory is not a mere formality, but the sincere
expression of our feeling toward you. We are sensible of the interest you have shown in us by your
presence here on this, our class-day, and we assure
you that such an interest arouses our gratitude.
When we consider, patrons of the school, that
without your efforts, this event could not have occurred, the welcome we give you to these exercises
is tinged with more than gratitude. More and more
we will come to appreciate what sacrifices you have
made, and, though at present we can only strive to
become worthy of them, we respect and love you
for them.
As the only class, whose membership has exceeded fifty, it is fitting that our exercises should
be different from those of our predecessors. And
so this is the first class-day ever observed by our
Nigh school and by it we have tr'ed to give you a
true picture of our ideas and ideals. The pine
chains are suggestive of our Northland. The numbers on the program will show you the various
phases of our High school life. They are representative of us and they are our own. The history
will relate of our glorious past; the prophecy will
foretell our yet more glorious future. Our orator
will exhibit the heights of eloquence to which we
dare aspire, while the last will and testament will
prove beyond a doubt our noble affluence. We are
singers, too, and full of high school spirit and
class enthusiasm, as we shall presently show when
our valedictorian shall have bidden you adieu.
Through these four years of High school life,
our interests have been common, our aims similar.
Our alma mater has been ever wise, ever beneficent and we will long feel her influence. Through
her, we have formed many friendships, which we
somehow know will not prove the least valuable
part of our education. We feel that these exercises
are a happy ending to our High school days, and so
again we bid you welcome. Salve!

CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY.
CLASS ORATION.
BY ALTON BENNETT.
In our journey through life, there come
moments to each of us, when we stop and ask ourselves, "What course are we going to pursue?"
"What is to be our life's work?" We also wonder
for what occupation we are best fitted. That the
solution of these questions is essential to success is
true, but too few ask themselves, "What kind of an
American am I going to be?" "Of what value am I to
be to my country ?" or 'Will the United States be
any better for my having lived in it?" Every work
has its crucial moments, when upon the ability to
overcome the dangers, depends the success of the
task set before us. We can never be able to overcome the dangers which we meet, or achieve true
greatness, or help to uphold America as an ideal
government, until we. as citizens, become keenly
conscious of the responsibility of being Americans.
To be true Americans we must first be patriots,
for patriotism is defined as love of one's country.
This does not mean the love which prompts us merely
to observe the national holidays, or to rejoice when
America achieves some new success, but a love which
compels us to live daily such a life as will be for the
betterment of our government. Such a life we cannot live until we set aside all self-love. Thos. Starr
King has said, "Self-love is the freezing point in the
temperature of the world." As it is in the physical
world, so it is in the moral world. The man, in
whose heart the fires of patriotism burn brightly,
becomes a leader in his community; but the man, in
whose heart the freezing chill of self-love exists, is
looked upon with contempt and pity.
To be a patriot does not mean necessarily that
one must go to war, for it makes no difference
whether a man is but a plain citizen, a stateman,
soldier or a monarch, if he stands firm for his country and is instrumental in exalting its name, he is
a patriot. "Patriotism," said Wm. McKinley. "is
�not merely a generous and praiseworthy emotion, it
is a duty, a paramount and overwhelming duty."
In the history of every country there have been
periods when it was engaged in war, either with
other nations or with putting down insurrections
within its own borders. Men have fallen on both
sides. They have responded to the summons of
what they thought was duty, but oh! how many
times they could have saved their country from
shame and disgrace, if before war was declared, they
had
into their souls and asked, "Is my country or is my enemy in the right?" A patirot should
do everything in his power to prevent war which he
considers unjust. He should point out to his fellow
citizens the injustice to the other nation. But in
time of war his duty is to defend his country.
However not everyone can go to war, but
nevertheless each has his duty and that duty is
binding. In peace the patriot's duty is to abide by
all the existing laws, wherever they may strike. If
he considers the laws unjust, then it is his duty to
stand by with voice and vote and help in correcting
them. We Lave the liberty of making our own laws,
but that gives us no license to break them, but on
the contrary commands that we obey them and see
that they are enforced. Fear of being ridiculed for
want of courage sometimes compels one to keep
silence when one sees trifling violations of the law.
but it should be remembered that it is the greatest
courage which enables one to bear reproaches for
the want of courage. It is our duty therefore to
stand by what we know is right regardless of the
jibes and jeers of our fellowmen. Our proper business is improvement. However we cannot improve
until we do away with injurious laws, and until the
number of rascals in our government making bodies
is diminished. This will never take place until
we, as citizens, do as God and our consciences bid
us. As the mass of mankind is enlightened and instructed, a moral force is exerted which governments dare not resist. It has been ever thus in the
history of our country. Men have dared to stand
alone and declare to all the world their views on
maintaining life and liberty. Through them we have
gained our liberty. They responded to the call of
duty. If they had not done so the flag of old England instead of the Stars and Stripes would still be
waving o'er our heads.
We have the best form of popular government.
If with us representative government fails, such a
government must be pronounced impossible. The
last hope of such a government then rests with us.
�If we fail, the funeral dirge of popular liberty will be
heard throughout the earth. Liberty is responsibility and responsibility is duty. If we neglect our
duty then we endanger our liberty. We are a great
and powerful nation, yet we must guard ourselves
lest we, like Athens, become crazed with power and
tyrannize over other nations. Just as surely as we
reach such a stage just so surely will it prove our
destruction. Let us then have faith that right makes
might. Let us live such lives that the peoples on this
globe will accept our government as the best. because
it is the most just, and liberty then will become
supreme. As Abraham Lincoln has said, " With
malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let
us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the
nation's wounds, to do all which may achieve and
cherish a just and a lasting peace among ourselves
and with all nations."
�THE FOREST OF ARDEN.
VALEDICTORY.
BY BESSIE CORBETT.
In all the realm of English fiction there is
probably no place more glorious. more filled with the
delights of the unknown and the mysterious, than
the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare's "As You Like
It.'' To this forest the father of Rosalind had
been banished and had taken refuge with his retainers in it's remote and secluded haunts. When
Rosalind, too, was banished, it was here that she,
with her cousin, Celia went, disguised, the one as a
youth and the other as a maiden of the countryside.
It was with much fear and trembling that these two
started upon their journey; for the highway was
beset with dangers innumerable and they were but
weak and timid creatures, after all. They knew
nothing of the Forest, and they dreaded and feared
it with a dread and fear born of their ignorance.
But when they reached it's entrance they found that
the Forest of Arden held good-fortune and a happy
destiny for all who entered it in the true love of
nature.
Today we, as a class, are entering the Forest of
Arden. We are leaving behind the well known
walks and paths of our school life, and are on the
threshold of a great and mysterious country. We,
too, are timid and fearful for we know not what is
in store for us. But, this unknown region which now
appears so full of danger, holds for us too, our
destiny, and that, doubtless, a happy one. Then let
us like Rosalind in the play, put on a brave exterior,
banish inward tremor, and face bravely whatever
this new life has in store for us.
When we read "As You Like It," we find that
to different people the Forest of Arden means different things, according to ther various tastes and
temperaments. So we too will each find our Forest
of Arden in the ideal for which we strive, in the
goal toward which we work.
For some of us it will mean the college-campus
—four years more of preparation for the encounters
on the real Highway of Life. Still others will seek
�conservatories of music, there to develop the talent
which we are all so glad to recognize. There are
also artists in our class of whom we are justly proud.
May they find their ideal in the development and use
of their art.
Some of our number will enter the business
world, to take up immediately their share in the
world's work. Their goal will not be the college
campus or the conservatory of a musician, but some
busy office, a place for wide-awake alertness. To
others, the western part of our great country offers
an alluring future, with its Golden Gate of Opportunity wide open for those who have grit and determination. This is the Forest of Arden which certain ones of our class will seek, and we hope that
the glorious west may hold the very best of all
things for them. So we find that the Forest of
Arden which we are about to enter is not the same
for all of us. But wherever it is, on the college
campus or in the busy office; in the studio of an
artist or in the Golden West, may we all be able to
say with the foresters in "As You Like It.," that we
have found "tongues in trees; books in the running
brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything."
For unless we do find good in everything we have
failed to make the best of our Forest of Arden.
And now the time has come for us as a class
to say good-bye—good-bye to our teachers to whose
efforts we owe so much.—good-bye to each other,
perhaps the hardest of these for us to say—and
what more? Let us also make this a milieu ium in
our lives by now saying good-bye to all low ideals
and to all the petty faults and failings in our characters so that we may be strong in both courage and
determination as we enter the Forest of Arden,

�CROSS SECTION
OF
A SENIOR'S HEAD
��ectt I HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
N THE SPRING of 1908, a meeting of all the
boys was called in Room 1. The purpose of
the meeting was to elect officers for the
Athletic Association. Finally the following officers
were elected:
President—Spencer Staake.
Vice-President—Glen Stanley.
Treasurer—Arthur Bachant.
Secretary—Karl Umlor.
Board of Control—Prof. Baldwin, Prof. Ferguson, Andrew Eldred, Ned Kehoe.
This association stands back of all the High
school teams, schedules games, and transacts all
business for the same. All members of the Athletic
Association are entitled to the use of all appar-
I
atus belonging to the association, and all members
have a chance to make any team which is organized
in the High School. The fees of this association are
small, thus bringing it into the reach of every boy in
the High School. The association this year has been
very successful in their financial management.
In previous years at the end of the football season, the association was always in debt. However
this year, the management had scheduled more
games and more expensive ones, and still had money
in the treasury at the end of the football season.
This money will be used to purchase apparatus for
the track and baseball teams, and it is probable that
the association will finish this year's work, without
leaving any debt, to burden next year's association.

�FOOT BALL.
HE High School football team of '09 will go
down in the history of High School
athletics as one of the fastest teams ever representing the Black and Gold. To Coach Johnson
and Captain Bauman belongs much credit for the excellent showing of the team. Practice was ca rigid
on throughout the season in a vigorous, systematic
manner, and the results were shown in the following
games of the season, as the records indicate. The
advantage which a team receives when under the
direction of a good coach was also demonstrated this
year. In previous years, the material in the team has
been just as good, if not better than last year's. But
the individual, loose playing of the teams has been
their chief failure. It has been Coach Johnson's
main endeavor to get the men to play together, each
man playing his position in unison with the other,
thus forming the team into one solid human machine, all starting together and playing in unity.
The Att. Pleasant game which was played . ere,
was a fair sample of the type of football the '09 team
T
vx
could put up. The two'teams ere evenly matched,
and if it were not for the stone wall quality of the
local's line. Traverse City might have been scored
on several times, not only in that game but throughout the season. The fact that '07-'08 team played
seven hard games before being scored on, gives some
idea of what the locals were capable of.
MT. PLEASANT GAME.
Mt. Pleasant kicked off, and Bauman ran the
ball back for 20 yards. A forward pass to 13aurnar
gained 18 yards, then Ludka was thrown hark four
yards. Hall punted out, Simpson got the ball, but
out of bounds and then it became Mt. Pleasant s
ball. A forward pass gained 12 yards for Mt. Pleasant, and Hullihan gained four more, Dickerson got
three yards, and Mt. Pleasant tried forward pass,
but it did not go out far enough and the ball beca na:
Traverse's. Hall got 10 yards and Ludka 18 on
end runs. A fumble gave Mt. Pleasant the ball, and
Dickerson got two yards. Mt. Pleasant was held for
downs. Evans made 25 yards on a quarter back
run around right end. The ball went over, and a

�forward pass from Mt. Pleasant was brot:ell up.
Veit was put out of the game for a time with a bad
ankle. A forward pass was tried, Hall (luring the
intermission over the accident, getting to the outside
and lying down ready to receive the ball. He was
not quick enough to get away with the play and was
downed for no gain. Time up.
Second Half.
Traverse City kicked off, Simpson downing the
man in his tracks after a pretty sprint. Mt. Pleasant made 30 yards on an end run, and their right
half made four more. Mt. Pleasant punted, Kehoe
returning it. Shannaquette failed to gain and the
ball went over. Traverse ( ity punted to Mt. Pleas-
ant's 13 yard line. The latter got 20 yards oo forward pass, and then Hullihan was put out of the
game on account of injuries. Soon Bauman made 40
yards on a line smash, in one of the prett lest plays
of the game. Soon followed a piling up and out of
the heap rolled the ball directly into Liolka's
and the left half grabbed the hall and r•an 40 yards
for a touch-down. He then kicked goal. tieore, 12-0.
Mt. Pleasant kicked off and Hall returned for 15
yards. Kehoe made 12 through center and Hall
punted 60 yards. Cleveland was hurt and put out of
game. Then through a series of line smashes,
Kehoe was sent over for a final touch-down. Score
18-0.
�TRACK MEET.
TUNE 5. 1908, marks the date of one of the most
successful track meets ever pulled off by the
local High School. The weather was ideal and
the track was in a fairly good condition, and in .z.nne
of the disappointment, which was caused when word
was received that Manistee and Petoskey coull not
come, the meet was a complete success. This meet
concluded the Northern Michigan Interscholastic
series, and gave the Traverse City High School the
championship. The meet was Traverse's almost
from the beginning, as the final score shows, Traverse taking 101 points against 34 points of all the.
rest of the schools combined. Charlevoix took second with 15 points, Pellston, through their only representative. Moody, finished third with nine points.
Frankfort finished fourth with six points, and East
Jordan last with four points. Malpass being their
only entry.
Pierson was the star performer of the day, tAing five firsts and one second netting a total of 28
points for his school. A fair sized crowd 'f mostly
j
school students were in attendance, doing all they
could in the way of cheering, and before the final
event of the day arrived, several previous High
School records had been broken.
The events of the day were as follows :
440 yard dash—Wait, Traverse, first; clipping
nearly three seconds off of old mark ; Gore, Traverse,
second; Levinson, Charlevoix, third. Time, 54 4-5
seconds.
2 mile run—Cleveland, Traverse, first ; Harkness,
Traverse, second; Malpass. East Jordan, third.
Hammer throw—Moody, Traverse, first; Pierson, Traverse, second ; Hanson, Traverse, third.
Distance. 97 ft. 3 in.
Discus throw—Hanson. Traverse, first ; Malpass, East Jordan, second; Whiting, Traverse, third.
Distance, 87 ft. 2 in.
Shot put—Whiting, Traverse, first ; Hanson,
Traverse, second. Distance. 40 ft.
100 yard dash—Simpson, Traverse, first; Moody,
Pellston, second. Time. 10-5 seconds.
��Broad jump—Pierson, Traverse, first ; Wait,
Traverse, second. Distance, 21 ft. 3 in.
High jump—Pierson, Traverse, first; Wait,
Traverse, second. Distance, 5 ft. 6 in.
Pole vault—Pierson, Traverse, first; Hampton,
Charlevoix, second. Distance. 10 ft. 3 :n.
220 yard dash—Simpson, Traverse, first ; Wait,
Traverse, second. Time, 23 3-5 second.;.
One-half mile run—Cleveland, Traverse, first;
Lutz, Frankfort, second. Time 2 minutes, 14 seconds.
High hurdles—Pierson, Traverse, first; Eldred,
Traverse, second. Time, 16 4-5 seconds.
Low hurdles—Pierson, Traverse, first; Whiting, Traverse, second. Time, 27 2-5 seconds.
Final and most exciting event of the day was
half mile relay, in which the local team came out
victors. Wait took the first lap and easily distanced his opponent, touched off Hanson, who ran
the second eighth well in advance of the bunch. Then
it was Pierson's turn and with a stride that surprised everyone, after his hard work during the
day, he bested his hunch and gave Simpson a good
start on the last lap. Simpson won easily and th,
meet was over.
Time, 1 minute 38.9 seconds. Charlevoix seeend, Frankfort, third.

��BASE BALL.
AST YEAR for the first time in many years
there was enough enthusiasm along the baseJ
ball line to organize a nine in the High
School. Although at one time, the High School was
represented by some very fast teams. These,
however, gradually gave up :their place in athletics
to the football teams. But last year when a call was
made for candidates, a good number of fans responded. And after the men went into training under the
direction of Coach Wiley, old T. H. S. awoke to the
fact that it had some crack baseball players. Although the team did not have the deserved sqpport
of the school, it nevertheless finished a very siweessful season. The following is the schedule of games:
T. H. S., 11, vs. Fife Lake, 6.
T. H. S., 18, vs. Northport, 1.
T. H. S., 18, vs. Charlevoix, 7.
T. H. S., 6, vs. 0. W. D., 7.

�"TESTS."
Say -We got a bunch o' teachers
In this grand ole' T. H. S.,
That can beat the old infernal
For a givin us o' tests.
We can see the D's a divin'
Thru the atmosphere at us—
With the little consolation
That we can't get any wus.
We have tests at morn for breakfast,
Tests we have at noon,
And our supper tables' loaded
With this quisatory boon.
Then there's chemistry and physics.
Tests for us to contemplate,
For surprises arn't his hobby,
He would rather make us wait.
We can hear 'em comin' at us,
Catch the sound a week ahead,
But we can't tell which from t 'other,
When they're buzzin"round our head.
Shivering in suspense and worry,
Wondering what is going to come,
Cramming like so many Frankfurts,
'Til our system's on the bum.
First our pretty history teacher
Passes papers with a smile,
.end we students sit and shiver
In a very frigid style.
Then it comes, and we poor Seniors,
Are let down with a smash,
That we wish we'd paid attention,
When it was explained in class.
Warning? Nothin'! Not this teacher,
It would spoil her pleasure quite
Not to see our dumbfound faces
When we find we have to write.
So it goes. These shot-gun episodes
Of quiz, exam' and test,
Are the things that's goin' to fix us,
When we're out among the rest. H. B.
�Rules for High School Etiquette.
Rule 1—Those to whom these rules apply should obey only those which will not put them to any inconvenience. Those who obey all of them shall be considered mentally unsound.
Rule 2--All students wishing to keep their spoon-holders in the corridors, must obtain a special permit from the schoolboard, otherwise they must be left at home. Senior boys and Freshmen girls please
remember this.
Rule 3--Teachers in English and History please be sure that the reference books are in the library
before they announce that the next lesson is to be gotten from them. Otherwise the pupils are liable
call the librarians names.
Rule 4—Members of the Zoology classes are requested not to carry any of the specimens away in
their pockets. Perhaps they can be used another year; also the teacher wishes them for fish-bait.
Rule 5—Those who have the habit of laughing aloud will please refrain from doing so except when
the classes are passing; otherwise the janitor may be disturbed.
Rule 6—Students are asked to remember that the fire-gong is to be rung only in case of fire.
Rule 7—At the beginning of the second semester all Seniors should look up their credits or they ace

Rule 8—All fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth-year students may, upon a written request, obtain a
permanent leave of absence at any time; eighth-year students may receive one anyway.
Rule 9—Teachers must not, at any time, ask a Senior if he or she expects to graduate this year, (it is
liable to be embarrassing.)
Rule 10—Miss Koenig's German students arerequested not to remain after 3 :30 for recitation, (it
is inconvenient, for him.)
�LOCALS.
FC OTBALL PARTIES.
During the past football season two very successful parties have been given for visiting teams.
One was in honor of Cadillac and the other was for
Manistee. Both were very successful as social events.
At the former party about fifty couples made merry
while at the latter some forty couples were present.
At both of these cities our team was royally entertained and the above mentioned parties showed that
Traverse City is never outdone.
On New Year's Eve occurred the event of
the season in the form of a party for our own fellows. Two days before the event some half dozen of
the High School boys made it their especial business
to outdo themselves in decorating Horst's Academy.
The walls and orchestra stand were draped in black
and gold. A line of pennants decorated center of
the hall. The lights were covered with gold bunting
causing a soft light to be shed over the dancers.
Over eighty couples enjoyed this function, there
Being guests present from Cadillac, Manistee, Grand
Rapids and Empire.
LEWIS CASS SPREAD.
At the beginning of the year the Lewis Cass Debating Club made its number into five divisions. three
members each, and arrangements were completed for
a series of debates in which each division was to contest with every other, and the winning trio were to
be accorded a banquet.
By diligent work and superior ability the
division consisting of Andrew Eldred, Clare Griffin .
and Harry Gardner was victorious. On December 7,
1908, an excellent program was given in Room 1 followed by an oyster supper very carefully and appetizingly prepared by Alton Bennett (Cookie). At
11 :30 the motion to adjourn was made and carried
and all departed feeling that they had spent a very
enjoyable evening.
�DECLAMATION CONTEST.
The evening of January 15 was another date of
interest to High School students for at this time occurred the gold medal declamation contest. Among
the seven contestants Lou Harkness took first place,
his selection being Patrick Henry's "Appeal to
Arms.
The declamation entitled, "The Highest
Form of Expression." was rendered by Miss Gleneva
Curtis and won for her the second place. Miss Mary
Adams was awarded third place, her selection being,
"The Unknown Speaker." The four other speakers
were William Palmer, Clare Griffin, Ben Holcomb
and Bernie Pearce. Each rendered their selections
well and deserved much credit.
Another feature of the evening's entertainment
was the music. Between the third and fourth
declamations the trio consisting of Messrs.
Dumbrille, Nelson and Wright favored the audience
with a piano selection. At the close of the contest
Miss Blossom Garland. accompanied by Miss Ruby
Grayson and Miss Helen Hannen, rendered a very
pleasing vocal solo and responded to a vigorous
recall.
After this J. W. Patchin gave the decision of the
judges in the order above mentioned.
THE CLASS RUSH.
It was the middle of January. Class colors had
been selected. The entire difficulty arose from the
fact that these colors persisted in staying selected, with positively no alteration, even for
the convenience of the Junior-Senior reception decorating committee. These same colors were rather too
noisy for the general harmony of the combination
thought the staid Seniors, and that class banded
themselves together at once to make things as
tropical as possible for the supporters of Maroon
and gold (for the objectionable shades were none
other.)
The members of the two classes displayed their
emblems in every manner possible, and. altogether.
Friday, January 15. was their busy day. Applause
from friends and hisses from opponents were the
greetings tendered to every loyal member of each
class as he entered the assembly room. Be it said
to the credit of our sedate diploma holders that they
looked with compassion rather than anger upon our
youthful outbursts and bore with us. for the most
part, very patiently.
On the evening of the same eventful day a company of Seniors discovered some stray members of
the opposing class near the school building. The de-
�mand was at once made that hats should come off
to the great blue and white pennant which floated
from the topmost pinnacle of the building. Scarce
the command before the cheers. A thirl Junior was
found who really acted as though he might have
been a Senior, in that he preferred the watering
trough to the cheers. Hurrah! for such a fellow of
whatever class!
The whole affair terminated in what might be
termed a "grand smash" which took place on the
school grounds, the Pine street watering trough
being the base of the operation for all concerned.
Glad they had done it and glad it was over, both
sides became the best of friends thereafter.
EAST JORDAN DEBATE.
The debate this year eas one of the most interesting and probably one of the most closely con. tested of our annual debates with East Jordan
High school. It occurred in Traverse City this
time, in the First Methodist church on the evening
of April 16. The question under discussion was,
"Resolved. That the Inter-state Commerce Commission Should Have Power to Fix Rates on Railroads Doing Inter-state Business." The affirmative was upheld by our own High school represent-
ed by three of its most efficient members in that
line of work. Andrew Eldred. Alton Bennett and
Clare Griffin. East Jordan was represented by
i.isses Stewart, Nicholas and Shier, supporting the
negative. The contest being between three boys
on the affirmative and three girls on the negative,
gave added interest.
The first speaker for the affirmative, Andrew
Eldred, gave the line of argument which his colleagues would follow and brought out the fact that
the railroads are doing a public service. Alton
Bennett demonstrated that the proposed plan
would remedy the existing evils, and Clare Griffin
showed the competency of the commission.
In the negative, Miss Stewart showed that the
control of rates meant control of railroads, which
is decidedly un-American. Miss Nicholas argued
that American freight rates are the lowest in the
world and Miss Shier showed the weakness of the
proposed remedy. The question was ably discussed
pro and con, but the negative failed to even attack many of the affirmative points. They evidently had not anticipated the strong and effective rebuttal from Andrew Eldred, which ruined many of
their strongest points, proved his unusual ability,
and practically tipped the beam in our favor. The
judges, Principal Porter of Cadillac, Principal
�Vorhees of Manistee and Principal Hartwell
of Petoskey, rendered their decision two to
one in favor of the affirmative. With this decision
each school has won an equal number over the
other.
JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION.
On the evening of February 19, the members
of the faculty, together with the junior and senior
classes, assembled in the City Opera house to enjoy
a very delightful reception prepared by the two
classes in honor of their instructors. The room was
decorated in a way to reflect much credit upon
the decorating committee. Numerous schools
throughout the United States were represented by
pennants, one coming from the old college of William and Mary in Virginia. The much contested
colors of the two classes were drapped very artistically together and played their parts very amicably, without even so much as a wry look at each
other.
At 8 :30 a very pleasing program was rendered,
consisting of music, both instrumental and vocal,
and of recitation. Later the company repaired to
the spacious hall and indulged gaily in games until
the arrival of the music, when the trend of amusement at once turned towards the dance. Another
pleasant feature of the evening was the choosing
of partner for refreshments, which was done by corresponding names on slips of paper. Each being
provided with a companion, all adjourned to the
Palace, where a delicious repast was enjoyed, after
which dancing was resumed until 12:30 p. m. All
returned home feeling that the evening could not
have been a greater success.
SPY OF GETTYSBURG.
Among the many interesting events which
have taken place within the past year is the presentation of "The Spy of Gettysburg." This play
is a realistic representation of southern life during
the Civil war times. The opposing forces of the
plot are very ably pitted against each other, the
part of the obstacle being played by the sly and
villainous Cyril Blackburn, a commanding officer
of the rebel army, who is using his governmental
authority to promote his own dastardly cause. a
plot to elope with the lady of his heart. Miss Mabel
Meredith, and to annihilate his bitter enemy, Captain Lenox, who is Mabel's lover. The play in it.
�self demonstrates much ability on the part of the
writer and affords ample room for star playing.
The cast ably took advantage of this opportunity
and made a great success of the entire present.;
tion. The humorous phase of the play was for the
most part vested in the characters •of Tapley !itid
Solomon, the ever-present coon, which parts wire
very admirably taken by Ned Kehoe and LottiA
Harkness. The highly dramatic places being filled
ed by Mr. Spencer Stan he and Miss Dorothy Larion
in the role of Captain Lenox and Miss Mali?! Meredith.
The entire cast was as follows: Dorothy Larion. Mahe] Meredith; Mae Alward, Lottie Evans;
Pearl Wilhelm. Airs. Mulvey; Spencer Staake, Harry Lenox : L. D. Castle. Cyril Blackburn; Ned Rehoe, Timothy Tapley; Lou Harkness. Solomon
(turkey); Cuy Hall. Moses Mulvey; Harry Hanson.

General
LOCAL ORATORICAL CONTEST.
On the evening of March 5th the iookt1 oratotieal contest was held at the High school building
to decide upon representatives for the sab-district
contest at Mancelona. Miss Vera Alward took first
place in the declamation contest and Mr. Andrew
Eldred represented us in the ortorical contest.
MOCK TRIAL.
The strenuous work of the Lew is Cass Debating club was clearly shown on the evening of March
26, when the annual mock trial was held in the
assembly room of the High school. The charge
was one of highway robbery brought against Stanley Snyder, the complainant being Louis :Holliday.
Attorneys were Karl Umlor for the prosecution and
Ned Kehoe for the defense. Judge Ben .Holecmb
presided with the dignity of a sage who had 'teen
involved in many cases (in court, of course). The
jury was chosen as follows: Carl Vinton, lion
Bennett, George Whiting, Lester Simpson, Frank
Wildman, Lloyd Cleveland, Jay Smith. Gilbert Shil.Jon, Gerald Montague, Professor Wood, Mills Dean
and George Petertyl.
The case was one involving insanity. the defense attempting to prove that though the prisoner
plead guilty, he was not responsible to law, being .
demented. Throughout the trial the interest of the
people was kept at a high point by the many witnesses to the insanity of the prisoner and the ridiculous acts which had been performed Oy him. .`tmong
�the witnesses on the stand were Dr. Snyder, father
of the prisoner, who testified to his sin's
actions, and Dr. Thiriby, who spoke of several examinations which the prisoner had undergone at
his hands. Among other witnesses were Mr. Ferguson and Dr. Holliday.
The jury was addressed by both attorneys in
a very able and pleading manner, and that body
left the room. After an absence of abont fifteen
minutes they returned with a verdict of "not
guilty."
SUB-DISTRICT ORATORICAL CONTEST.
The annual sub-district oratorical and declamatory contest occurred this year at Mancelona, the
first of April But two schools were represented
in the declamatory contest, Mancelona and Traverse
City, the latter winning first place. Miss Vera Alward delivered the speech of "Spartacus to his Gladiators" in a dignified, winning manner and with
appreciation of the feelings of the gladiators.
Aftev 'din solo, the oral orical contest took
place with three schools represented, Mancelona by
the oration, "A Plea for Childhood;" Petoskey by
"The Burden Bearer;" and Traverse City by Mr.
Eldred's speech, "Education As An Essential to

JUNIOR RECEPTION FOR THE SENIORS.
The Juniors' annual reception to the Seniors
will be held May 21, 1909. It is expected that this
will be the largest event of the year, because both
upper classes participate. Committees of Finance,
Program, Reception, Refreshment, Decoration,
and Invitation were elected and immediately proceeded to prepare their respective parts for the
pleasure and accommodation of both classes.
(The Seniors sincerely thank the Junior class
for this expected pleasure.)
��Jokes and Grinds.
Laugh and the world laughs with you,
Laugh and you laugh alone,
The first when the joke's the teacher's,
The second when it's your own.
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention is respectfully called to a collection of jokes. The first exhibit contains the risibility-producers of our learned
and respected instructors. Oft have they (that is,
the teachers) pestered us desiring to show their
superior wisdom. Behold the weight of their argument
OUR FACULTY.
Motto :—Can't you keep still five minutes without whispering?
Miss H
dy. (In Eng. Lit.)—"Did you ever
see a pumkin vine?"
Prof. Ferguson (excitedly in Trig.)—"Now explain this. Mr. Secant," (alias Petertyl.)
Miss Handy (to an innocent Eng. Lit. class)
—"Tomorrow you may read Skelly's "Shylock."
Prof. Ferguson (in Geometry)—"Here I have
a line which I have erased."
Prof. Hornbeck—"Now if I had a cube three
times as long as it was wide."
Prof. Ferguson (running into radiator in hall,
bowing hurriedly but courteously), "Oh, pardon
me."
Prof. Hornsby—" It's wonderful what imagination will do. For instance, we have a boy in our
class who actually thinks he is a gasoline engine."
Here Bachant looks heated, exhausted, explosive,
and in a fair way to break down.
Miss Brownson—Lo, indeed, behold moreover!"
Prof. Hornbeck—"Here we have a cube floating below the surface."
Miss Osborne—"Why didn't Mary Stuart become king of England?"
Miss Ferguson—'Of Ferdinand and Isabella,
the latter was the wiser man."
Prof. Hornbeck—"If a man should expel the
air from his lungs, he would sink like a log."
�Prof. Hornbeck (in Physics)—"If the movable
part of the gas engine doesn't move, the unmovable ASill, and the operator ‘N ith it. And they always move the operator—usually to the cemetery."
Prof. Ferguson—"Then the radius of the earth
is 9096 square miles."
Prof. Hornbeck (in Physics)—" And the stream
hasn't flown a drop since."
Miss Osborne (in Eng. Lit.)—"Oh, yes! the
birds often sing on warm, moonlight evenings."
(Very audible blushes result.)
Miss Koenig—"Mr. W., what are you doing?"
Mr. W.—"Nothing." Miss K.—"Stop helping him,
Mr. S."
Miss Brownson (in Latin)—"Be sure and write
your Latin sentences in good English."
Miss Brownson—"He heaps him up and loads
him down with great gifts." (Heard in Virgil class.)
Miss Ney—"Now, it may seem strange to you
why we should bother so much over this word
`dear,' but if you had used it as much as I have—
why—.
Miss Brownson—"Son-in-law means' his daughter's wife."
Prof. Ferguson—"Drop a perpendicular up."
The editor absolutely refuses to be responsible
for the fact that no breaks have been reported to
him from (itlier Misses Lewis, Kanouse, Hoyseth,
or Mr. Baldwin. Two of them are freshmen teachers, and were probably ashamed to perpetrate any
such speeches on the minds of the young and impressionable, but Miss Lewis and Mr. Baldwin—
well, we live in hope of getting one on them.
ROCKABY.
Next to the teachers in learning and wisdom
are the freshmen—they have not been incarcerated
long enough to become ignorant. Their remarks
are duly recorded below. (Rockaby.)
Freshie (version of a sentence we all remember)—Please delay your customary organ solo a
minute and a half at the close of the service in order that the internal moving of the audience may
calm.
Prof. Hornsby—"Mr. Zeits, why was the Ann
Arbor convention known as the 'Frost Bitten convention?' " Mr. Z.—"Was it because the men got
cold feet?"
Griffin—"I had it from Rachel when she was
a bachelor."
Mr. Baldwin (in Zoology)—"Mr. Campbell, if
you were living on bread and water in jail what
�energy would you be living on?" Campbell—"The
people 's. "
Freshie—"Thou stiekest me into a dagger."
Freshie—"Put in a teaspoonful of soda and
stir it."
Miss Hoyseth—"What is the singular number
of allies?" Freshie (excitedly waving his hand).
Miss II.—"Well, Mr. Grant?" Mr. Grant—"Alley."
Miss Kanouse to Freshie—" What is algebra?"
Freshie—"It's hard."
Miss H.--" What is the word for lawyer?"
Freshie—"Der Esel."
Miss Hoyseth—"Now, an epic is a poem which
deals with the adventures of some hero. Can anyone
name an epic?" Shadek—"The Last of the
Mohicans."
Miss Hoyseth to Freshie—"Write a long senten ce." Freshie—"Imprisonment for hie."
SOPHOMORES.
Running a close second to the freshmen are the
sophs—and they are wondrous wise. They chew
their gum, and have their fun, and call the fresh-
men guys. Behold the mental development that has
taken place since they were freshics. For insi mice :
Miss Ferguson—"Miss Hogan, tell about the
death of Darius." Miss llogan—"One of his attendants pursued him and massacred him."
Mr. H-n-by—"Mr. Brief. what is a monomaniac?" Mr. B.—" I don't know.'' Mr. II.—
"Well, 'men' means one, and 'maniac' means crazy.
Now, what does monomaniac mean" Mr. B.—
"Why, oh! one crazy."
Mr. Baldwin—"Of what use are oceans to mankind. Mr. Brief?'' Mr. Brief—"They are places to
lay cables in."
Juniors, Or Are They to Blame?
Here, indeed, is a class almost in a class with
the classiest of all classes, the seniors. They gave us
a peach of a reception. But the truth to be told
they said:
Supt. Gilbert--" What were the midnight
courts?" Staake—"That's when they did their
courting at night."
Mr. Hornsby—"Miss Williams, what's the highest penalty for criminals in Michigan?" Miss Williams—"Assault and battery."
�Miss Handy—"You may get Mr. Bachant's
book also." Kehoe—"I don't know where he sets."
Mr. Hornsby (in Am. Hist.)—"I have known
good people who are Unitarians." Umlor—"So have
1." (Wonderful.)
Buell—The Babylonian captivity was when the
seat of the Pope was removed to Avingnon.
Mr. Baldwin (coming to Staake's proposition)—
"Oh, yes; our absent brother had that proposition."
(XI English Examination.) Ruskin thought a
woman should study history not to learn facts but
to put her sole into it.
SENIORS—BLUE AND WHITE.
Just to prove to the many inquiring friends
that we are not super-human in our mental accomplishments, and just to show the teachers that we
wish to be considerate enough to make as many
breaks as they do, we have said the following. Do
not laugh at them, smile sadly, and in a dignified
manner, thinking all the time of your own unworthiness:
M. A.—"He catches the breeze with his ears."
Whiting—"If we had a cone that came to a
point."
W. Palmer (why, Bill)—"The Swiss were
tributary, holding hands (lands), directly from the
Emperor."

Graduates are everywhere.

Seeing how, will drop the load.
