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.

•ers of the club for the past year have been:

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."

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 X-Ray work, spherometers, (Ivry k 's air pump.
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.

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!

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,

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

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."
Bess Masters—"The sun rises in the meantime
or sets, I mean."
Hortense Martinek—"He plunged the knife into his hide up to the hilt."
Anna S.—" The snakes advanced, their eyes
suffused with tears."
Mary A.—"The arms and planks of the men."
Ruby A.—"I recognize the footprints of my
old love."
V. W.—"They sacrificed two-year-old sheeps."
Miss Osborne—"Explain, "And nothing wear
but frieze.' '' (Sotto Voce) Senior—"It's a cinch
you will freeze if you don't wear something." Dean
—"It means to wear nothing but a decoration."
Wm. Palmer (in Deutsch)—"Fritz let his ears
.
drop."
Miss C. (translating German)—"Or should I
say, 'IJp already yet so quick?' "
Holcomb (in debating club, flushed by fair
listeners)—"I—I thank you—for—for—speaking."
(Applause.)

Prof. Hornbeck (in Physics)—"Give the law
governing pipes." Eldred—"The strength varies
directly as the age."
Miss A. (in Latin XII)—"Doesn't it mean the
`most dirtiest dirt?' "
Miss A. (translating Virgil)—"None of you
shall go away `undonated by me.' "
Prof. Hornbeck—"What was Archimedes doing
when he discovered the principle of Buoyancy?"
Loudon—"He was taking a bath."
Miss E.—"A hardy tribe must be conquered by
you in Latin."
Miss A.—"He sees the spirit of his father slipping from the sky."
Ashton (translating)—"The youth sat down on
the side of the old man."
Morris Bell (telling about Faerie Queene)—
"The young lady reminded him it was getting
dark."
Mary Parr (trying to soft soap Mr. Baldwin)—
"Mr. Baldwin, I think your Geometry test was the
fairest test I ever wrote." Mr. Baldwin—"Is that
so? Let me see, you got 63." Miss P. has business
elsewhere.)

Teacher—"I am going to give you a problem
to find the pressure on a man working 100 feet below the surface." Barnard "You'd have to know
his area, wouldn't you?"
MISCELLANEOUS.
The following are miscellaneous productions
that have aptly exemplified the law of the survival
of the fittest, by keeping out of the waste basket.
Some of them are by poets. Long may they rave:
Teacher---"Define a lemon." Pupil—"A lemon
is an orange with a mean disposition."
My case went to the faculty,
There was some slight dissension.
At first I waited in suspense,
Then waited in suspension.
"Now we'll all stand up on the next verse."
"The city of Milan was devastated and the inhabitants strewn about."
Alas! He didn't know whether on not a bearcould sing."
"The Hundred Years war was caused by trouble with the whales."
English class. Teacher to student—"You may
begin, 'With a wild rattle and clatter.' "

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives worth while,
If departing, leave behind us
Some excuses for a smile.

Lives of seniors all remind us,
Four years' wisdom is not a care
For by bluffing, tho' not audacious
Graduates are everywhere.

Graduates that perhaps another
Going o'er the self-same road
A forlorn and boning brother
Seeing how, will drop the load.

B. (Commercial Arith. Reading insuralhce
problem)—"And the house burned up." Miss Ney
(correcting)—'`Burned down."

Miss Osborne (Eng. X studying Tennyson)—
"Mr. A., what kind of feet have we?"

H. S. SODA FOUNTAIN.
Crushes.
Tutti Frutti—Snyder-Kelley.
Peaches and Cream—Evans-Williams.
Pineapple (very sweet)—Jarvis-Price.
Honey Boy—Wildman-Bauman.
Orange Rose—Marvin-Hogan.
Black Raspberry—McWethy-Alward.
Honolulu Belle—Dean-Ostrander.
Nectar--F. Ashton-Ebner.
Merry Widow—(?) L. Parr.
Senior Special—Harkness-Carter.
Strawberry—Pearce-Crandall.
Don't Care—S. Ashton ?V?.

Ices.
Lemon—Simpson-Smurthwaite.
Lime (very sour and cold; hot weather favorite)—Morgan-Greilick.

OH FONS SCHOLASTICA!
Oh Fons scholastiea!
clara acerbissima
ferrea et sulphurea
nitens et gelida
ad tua aequora
quisque ora applicat
cum a laboribus
Cum tintinnabulum

tum murmur maximum

oh Fons Scholastica !—A. S.
