The best efforts of the class of 1921 are in the hook now before you. \Ve have tried to make this, the third volume of the J:al<lwinian, the most interesting ,;o far published. Of that you are the judge. I Jave we failed? Then help next year's class to do better. Have we succeeded? Our achievement is not so great that it cannot uc ucttcred. so gi\·e the class of 1922 a uoost and get behind the school. : \RTIIUR J-f.\UTWELL, ]R.,

The name. Student Council, implies what this body is and for what it stands. This organization is composed of six representative students from the three higher classes of the high school, and of four faculty members, including the principal of the high school and the superintendent of schools. \\"ith the exception of the principal and superintendent, all arc elected for a term of one semester. The purpose of this council, as incorporated in the constitution, is as follows: I. To promote closer relationship and more active co-operation between th<' £tudent body and the faculty. 2.

To better the general welfare of the student hotly.

3. To stimulate in the students a greater sense of responsibility concerning the successful management of this school. 4.

To develop school spirit, appreciation of the school and executive ability.

The stimulus which brought this organization into being had its origin with the dass of 1921. In order to meet some critidsms of administrative problems and of student activities, which have developed by reason of the rapid increase in the size of the high grhool, the student council was organized. Its purpose has already been stated; it now remains to be seen how this body will affect the conduct of the school, how it will justify its existence. We hope for a bright future, but we ask you. particularly the undergraduates of the school, not to expect too sudden changes and too many great things from so new an organization. All great political reforms that ha\'c been put into effect over night, so to speak, ha\'c brought only chaos and confusion. If this council is to be a success, it must establish a precedent for careful and thoughtful action. Lastly, rcmernuer that the power of an}' such movement is measured mainly hy the· munber and cnthui;iasm of its supporters. You have expressed your approval of this council; we now solicit your whole-hearted co-operation. \ ·1:.H:--0~ G. Co:-:,·EJ<:W, JR., '21.

3)unior QUa.s.s ifi.story . \ fter two years of what seems to us to have been a season of humble and mod(•st conduct on our part, we now find ourselves the well established, dignified Junior Class of Baldwin High; a time much looked forward to and yearned for, and yet we arl! told by the more dignified Seniors that Ii fc holds for us far more happiness, as well as fame, in the ytar to come; if we doubt it, we have only to look at them. Early in the fall of 1920, we elected our class officers, the honors of which were carried off hy the following, to the perfect satisfaction of the clas!\ : Russell Berger .......................... President Jack Clarke ........................ Vice-President Florence \Vendorph .... . ................ Secretary Russel :\fcBride ........ . ............... Treasurer 11iss Higgins and Miss Ferguson were appointed as our class advisors. Owing to their wise guidance and the energetic spirit of the class, we have succeed<.'cl in having three \'cry cnjoyahle parties. The first of these was held at the home of Florence \Vcndorph: another, a l·lallowc'en masquerade, wa!\ gi\'en in the lower hall of the school building: and the third was held at the home of Rus~cl :\Jcllride. The usual people, of course, attended these parties. At the Hallowc'cn party, among the many "spooks," "witches," "ghosts" and the like, even a ncgro strayed in to help add to the many mysteries of the evening. It was hinted that even the •"cider'' was up to the Hallowc'en stunts and worked very hard before it came. The usual jolly good time was experienced at these parties hy all those present. \\'e have proven our business ability by putting on a good moving picture \\·hich was well attended and also netted a neat amount for our savings account. At Thanksgiving time the class, under the direction of the advisors, put on a Pilgrim play for chapel. and it was declared that the Puritans could not have failed to have recognized themselves had they been present to sec their three lnmdrcdth anniversary c-elebratcd hy the Juniors of 1920. The debating team is represented by June Iloteling, Helen Dutton and Forbes Hascall of the Junior class. In athletics as well we are proud to have Florence :\lcKinney, Herma Reynolds, ~orma Clarke. I fclen Dutton. Jack ).[oorc, Russell :\le Bride, ~Iarccl Patenaude, an<l Russell llerger repre5cnt us on the basketball teams. On Friday evening of .-\pril 22, 1[)21, •·Pomander Walk" was presented by the Junior class in the auditorium. The l_)lay proved to be a decided success and was enjoyed by c\'ery one who attended fhis festivity. So it is that we, the Junior class, are enjoying the right to be Juniors, and arc :111ticipating the delights and joys of our coming Senior year. K ,\Tll£HIXE E. THUllUULL.

Early last September our class assembled in the Senior session room, trying • to wear a new dignity which seemed in keeping with the great occasion. For we were ready to continue our education as Sophomores. which meant that we would be of real importance to our high school. The Freshman year was far in the past. and our future looked rosy. It would he useless to tell of all that we had to endure as Freshmen; for it would make this a sad tale inderd. Let it suffice to say that our Freshman class was very much abused and misunderstood, as Freshies have been ·ever since high schools were invented. \Vhen, however, at the close of the year, our names appeared in the "r:aldwinian" without a single capital letter among them, we surely felt that it was adding insult to injury; but it only goes to show, after all, what a queer sense of humor some people have. However, when we became Sophs, our trials quickly left us. and we immediately availed ourselves of every opportunity to make the class succeeding us feel as ridiculous as oth~rs had made us feel; and in that way we "got back" at the world in general.

At our first Sophomore class meeting, we elected Lawrence Howe, president; :\[argaret l\crz, vice-president; Grace i'IIcCarroil, secretary; and \\·cir Burkman, treasurer. Our sponsors were :\I iss Hardy and :\fiss Isherwood, but when :\fiss Isherwood left us in January, her place was taken by :\fr. Field . . \!though we arc serious minded and devoted to our studies, we have had some jolly parties when everyone forgot Caesar and Geometry for a few happy hours, and enjoyed himself to the utmost. The first party was a 1-Iallowe'cn masquerade in the lower corridor of the high school. After that, \\'illowbell Parmenter entertained the class at her home. A Christmas party at \Villiam :\fanchester's home, and a Colonial party at the high school came in succession. Each one was successful, was different from the others, and a credit to those who planned it. Our class is well represented in all school organizations and activities. There are quite a number of Sophomores, too, who have helped to uphold school honors in athletics; and of these we are all very proud. As the year draws to a dose, we look forward eagerly to the time when we will be Juniors; and, always as active as now, we plan to keep, throughout our high school life, the good name we have won.

lJireslfman atlas.a ilistnry Can it be possible that only nine short years ago this enterprising, ambitious group of students were beginners? Could our esteemed president ha\'e once been little Stanley Hunt; and \Yinifred Huntoon, now our tall. dignified vice-president, once a fat, dimpled baby; also :\Iarion Trumbull, now holding the responsible position of secretary and treasurer, a wee little girl? I low time does fly! But such is the case, and just that short span of years ago Florence Adams, Doris Groves, Stuart Cobb, Jack Burkman, and Wilbur Shippey were all starting to school, faces shining and eyes wide with expectation. One goal has been reached, and now we are started on the last lap. However, "all work and no play'' is still as true as it was in our baby days, so we have had parties J!alorc- and hope to have many, many more. \Ve are greatly indebted to :\liss Schlaack, :\liss Grey, )liss Kingslmry, and Mr. Xutten, who have done so much to make our good times successful. \ Ve hope to make ourselves "famous in athletics before long, so watch our "smoke." :\s for scholarship, well, as Freshmen are noted for their modesty, it behooves us to let our record speak for itself. Just watch the progress of the class of 1924. K ., -r ll EJ<t ~E- F1m<;uso~,

The l:irmingham Young :'llen's Christian .\ssociation has ~radually hcco111 e an estahlished and ,·ital part of the school and commtmity Ii fe. 'I he one ovcrto\\'ering nel·d of the \\'orld today is more emphasis upon the <ll'velopment of character. which is dominated hy the motive c_,f hclpfuh1ess and neighhorly service. The central ohjccti,·c of the Young :\ Ien's Christian \sso• ciation is the de,·elopmcnt of Christ-like character. The program used liy the groups is called the Chri<.:tian Citizensh ip Training. This is the result of the experience of a gircat many men who h:1,·e spent their lives in ser\'ice with hoys, and takes into account the hoy's n:sponsihility to his home, to the school. to the church and to the com1111111ity. The two Senior groups, led hy .\rthur l'cck and Ccorge \\'. Shnffcr, arc organized separately as groups. hut comhincd in the 11 i-Y Club. The l\\'o Intermediate groups. under the helpful leadership n f lfohcrt I 'eek and Clarcncl' Carson at the hcginning of the yrar. and later :\rthur Tuggy taking Clarence Carson':; placr, have hcen having very interesting programs evt:ry \\'l•ck during the !.Choo[ year. The three Junior groups. under the a hie leadership of l'aul :\" uttcn. l~d. warci Bissell, Park Smith and Eliot Coryell. have had a ,·cry enthu-;iastic and helpful pmgram. During :'II r.

Early in the year tlw hoys ancl lt:aclers. in co-operation with thl' \\". C. T. C .. put on an entertainment. A part of the proceeds o f this entertainment were used to i;end eight lmys to the State "Older Boys' Con fcrcncc" at Grand Ra pids.

The Hi-Y Club was organized in the Fall of 1920 for the purpose of creating, maintaining and extending high standards of Christian Character throughout the school and community. The membership is made up from the two Senior Young :'den's Christian •\ssoci;1tion groups. These two groups unite in this manner for common action in those school activities which Lend to raise the general morale and standards oi school life. During the winter the club entertained the Roche~ter Young ~Jen's Cl1ri,;tian .\ssociation Ciuh, and were in turn entertained by the Rochester Group. In addition to promoting llihle Study in the Senior Y. :'ii. C. .\. c-;roups. the Cluh took an active part in promoting Thrift \\' eek in Jannary. Seven of the members attended the State "Older Boys· Conference" at Grand Rapids. Plans arc heing made for a numher of activitic,; to he promoted by this organization.

A gricultural A.s.sorintion A tragic e\'ent was the a ssassination of the Grand Duke of . \us tria: hut s till more tragic \\'as the turmoil, st rife. and finally chaos. into which thl· greater part of the civilized world \\':IS plunged as its result. Fol[owing this chaos and ruin. came an industrial crisis which c.:ompcllct! great business interests to close for months, nccess:, rily causing thousands of men to uc thruwn out of employment. llccause this crisis has not yet ended. men arc turning to the farms for a livefihood. llut no longer is the 111.111 with the strongest back called the best farmer. The modern farmer realizes that knowledge is power. Recognizing this fact, the Birmingha111 1Iigh School offers an extensive course in i\gric.:ulturc, hl'ginning with Farm C rops and I forticulture in the Tenth Gracie, taking up .\nimal I lus hanclry, with Feeds and Feeding. in the Eleventh Gracie. and finishing with Soils. Farm :\lanagc111ent and Agricultural Engineering in the Twelfth Grade. I ncludcd in this course arc laboratory exercises, which maJ..e the course more comprehensive and practical. In addition lo the routine work of 1\griculture. there is formed each year att Agricultural .\ssociation. This Association is an organized hocly. with the usual officers and committees. The program committee. consisting of three members. is so chosen that each member serves in two co11scc11tivc meetings. presides at a third meeting and then drops off the committee. This arrangement has proven very sati~factory. not only this year. hut in prc\·ious years as well. The work of the .\ssociation includes the practical as well as the theoretical side of Agriculture. One ean easily imagine that a dclmte ;Ls to whether hog raising or dairying returns the most profit to the farmer. or a lecture on the gasoline engine, clemonstratcd with actual working parts, besides being cducation:-il, is very practical. It is this desire fo r a practical knowledge of agricultural ways and mean;; that makes the Association-helter each year. Gr.EK E\'.\NS, '21. 40

iHrminglJa:m ita:i'lio C!Uub Baldwin High School has one of the best radio outfits of the high schools in the State of :.\lichigm1. In order that all students interested might be admitted into this mysterious world, the few who were already proficient in the art showed their unselfish spirit by organizing the Radio Club. :.\lortimer ?\eff was chose.1 president: Russell :.\JcDride, vice-president, and Marion :.\lcLellan. treasurer. The club meets one evening each week. At the meeting a part of the time. under the direction of :\Jr. Toothacker, is devoted to the study of the principles of magnetism and electricity which lead up to the principles of the wireless apparatus. Following, there is an intensive drill on the telegraphic code, given by experienced club members. and then-eats- sometimes! January, the club gave a movie from which was cleared enough money to purchase a wonderful new :.\Tagnavox. The society has also purchased a C. \\'. Transmitter and Radio Telephone. Students arc always welcome as new members and can be assured of wellspent evenings.

.. \\"here there is 11111sic th ere is nti r1h. a nd ofk n, charing the past p::ir, the orchestra hat. furnished the necessary music for our school activities. The orchestra has grown, not only in numhers, lntt also in experience and ahility. In the selections it has rendered it has tried to create a taste for the IKst music. Jt has played for chapel exercises, and at programs of various sorts, both in and 011t of school. \\'e hclie\'e that hecausc of the hcnefits the participants have derived, and hecansc of the satisfaction this organization has given to its hearers. it will continue to take an important p:1rt in school acti,·ities.

Oiirl.s' Oilee QC1ub During the past few years this club, consisting of Senior High School girls, has become one of the most active and popular of the high school organization•. This year the club has sung for many functions both in and out of school, and together with Junior l ligh Chorus. it gave several numhers on the Christmas program. On April 29th the girls gave an operetta, ·'The \\ ild Rose," which stimulated, further, the interest in a bigger, better Glee Club.

iilny.s' Oilee Qr:luh \\'bile this is as yet a very young organization; having hccn formed the last semester of this year, yet a sph·mli<l spirit prevail/.. This duh promise:;, in time, to become as prominent as that of the girls. Jt began its career with an enrollment of fortyrfive from the three upper classes.

D ebating Though debating is still in its infancy in the high school, this heing the seconu year that ,,·e have had a team. we attained a small degree of success. Early in the fall, word was received that the subject for this year in the :\lichigan I figh School Debating League was to he: .. Resolved: That the adju~tment of disputes between employers and cmploycs :-hould be made a part of the administration of justic,c." Under the direction of 11 i~s Isherwood, and with the information gained from pamphlets sent to each sch,ml with the statement of the question, the students set to work. Finally an evening was decided upon for the tryout. Eleven students were present- each trying for a position on the team. From them, :\liss Ishe rwood and :\Ir. Vliet chose the following: Affirmative, Arthur Hartwell, Elsie Doying and Forhes I lascall; negative, i\lerel Parks, June I loteling and :\lildred Toothacker. Our first dchatc was to Le with Pontiac, here, with our affirmative team. \\"e expecled a hard debate, hut l'ontiac having even less preparation than we, was unanimously defeated. This gave us four points in the state contest, as each judge that voted for a team counted om· point, and each victory counted one more. Even though Pontiac's team was weak, and hardly brought out our we:ik points, they gave us training in preparation for Dryden. who came to Birmingham two weeks later. Again we had the affirmative side. Dryden proved to be much stronger th:tn Pontiac. but we turned them back, 2-1, after a keen battle of wits.

Our next debate was on the negative side. It came after ,·acation and was at Hamtramck. June Hotcling was unable to debate, but Helen Dutton took her place. Hamtramck took up the subject in an entirely different way than we had expected. They had strong arguments, and even tho11gh our presentation was better than theirs, they won, 2-1. Just at this time debating recei ved a setback, due to ~l iss Jsherwood's resignation on account of illness. The negati,•e team journeyed over to Rochester n little over .i week later. Though we seemed to have out-debated their team, we were forLed to take a 2-1 beating, since the judge who cast the deciding vo~c admitted that she ga,•e her vote to Rochester because she believed in the affirmative side. The affirmative wound up the season with a J.Q victory against Almont. Reinforced l>y new material and rewritten speeches, Almont was easy. Word was received that we were out of the state debate. \Ve had only thirteen points, while the sixteen successful schools had seventeen or more. \Ve arc forced to admit defeat, l>ut we wish our successors a luckier, better year, and B. H. S. a place in the finals in 1922.

~otieta11 ilatina The Societas Latina has existed since the beginning of the year although it was not formally organized until February, when Phyllis ~fyhrs was elected prcsi<lcnt. Clayton llest, vice-president, and Alice Baker, secretary and treasurer. It is possible for only those of the XI and XII grades to be members, as the meetings arc held every two weeks in a Cicero class period, numerous school acti,•ities making an evening meeting undesirable. The meetings are interesting and full of ''pep," each member contributing a share to the program. From Classical Journals, selections arc read showing the close relationship of the English language to the Latin and the interesting parallels which may be drawn between the two literatures. Favorite kgcnds of Rome which had so marked an influence upon her subsequent history, and original stories written by the club members add to the general enjoynient. While our Society is mainly educational, it also affords much pleasure and all :ire alive both to learn and to enjoy. ~Tany friendly arguments arc carried on and great affairs arc peacefully and s:itisfactorily settled by the elc,·cn statesmen of the Socictas Latina.

Junior iijig!J C!r!Jnnt11 This organization includes boys and girls from the seventh. eighth and ninth grades. They gaYc several munl>crs at the Christmas Concert, and during the year they have sung for chapel program5. The last part of the school year was spent· in preparation for the ''Pageant of X aturc" given in June. 45

SOCIAL EVENTS

The Freshman Reception The Freshman reception, given Stepember 17, in the Auditorium: at the Baldwin High, was the first social e,·ent of the season. The hall was artistically d1:coratcd with fir boughs. Wicker chairs, pillows and Aoor lamps added a distinctive touch. The music was "great." The lighting was unusually effective. Delicious punch was served; '"Sh," it has been said that it "had a kick in it," and everyone had a good time.

Football Dance This, the second annual dance of the year, was held as usual in the gym. The evening's entertainment started with a Grand March, Jed by Mr. and Mrs. Vliet. In the middle of the evening the football boys were 11rescntcd with their well-earned swc:aters. The 11arty came to a close at 11 :30 sharJJ, and all who attended pronounced it "better'n ever."

Basketball Dance The basketball dance given by the B. H. S. teams in the Auditorium, A[lril 8, was a very enjoyahle affair. A simple hut effective decorative scheme of maroon and white was used. Stone's orchestra outdid themselves in lwl)ling to make the [)arty a success.

Trip to Monroe On Fchruary 18 two carloads of rooters hoarded a double-header for Monroe. There was noise galore, yells and rnngs. The latter were nohly led hy Mr. Toothacker. To a1111case the hunger of the ravenous crowd, sandwiches were furnished hy someone from somewhere. When we reached i\fonroe we quite startled that quiet village. They e,·cn had two "cops" to sec that we behaved. During the girls' game our "B. H. S. gang" nearly went wild, and Monroe listened to our triumphant yells with disap11roval and sadness. Nevertheless, they recovered their voices during the hoys' game, though we rendered them harcly audihle when we "tuned up." On the way home the crowd was somewhat weary, and once in a while the little "freshics" nmrly dozed off to sleep. The girls' team distributed ap11les among the rooters. If anything, the return trip was e\Cn more joyful, and cveryhody who went certainly hopes that we will play i\lonroe, there, again.

i!lasllful fflr The night was warm, no sign of storm, A soft breeze followed me. The time flew fast, 'twas nine and past And still that mystery. 1 thought of words, of graphs, and surds, Of various well-known jokes; Dut nothing went as I had meant, \\'e trailed along like goats. She was the first whom I had durst To convey out alone. Xow it was done. and I was numb Scared right to the bone. \\"hat would you do. if T were you, And you as I did suffer? •\ £raid of girls, of smiles and curls, A most unhappy duffer. \ "ernon G. Converse, Jr., '21. 51

John Lee was the second mate on the trader, Sally I\' , which was at anchor in the harbor at Hong Kong. One day the American Consul informed John Lee that Lu Chong, a silk merchant, wished John to dine with him as he had known John's father. Greatly curious John Lee went to the house of Lu Chong. Old Lu Chong \\'anted to ship so111c bales of silk to San Francisco and desired someone whom he could trust to sec to them. John promised to do this. The next morning the bales were brought to the dock. Screech ! Thump! John heard something fall. "\\'hat is the matter?'' "Oh, a ho~ fell as we were loading it qn.'' ''. \ny damage ?" ".\ hale of silk which that Chink of yours sent ,over is badly torn." "The old Chink will he mad," thought John, "out 1 couldn't help it. I wonder if it was so very valuable? llcllo ! what"s this? White tablets, opium J bet. Xo wonder Lu Chong was so careful. \\ ell, of all the nerve! Pretty cute though. Xicc little fool that I was to walk into the trap like a greenhorn, but I'll tell him where he gets off!" Away he went to Lu Chong, who met him with a bland smile. John literally burst into speech. "Say, wha' da ya' think you are, trying to pass that stuff off one me? Yon olcl lemon colored geezer!" Lu Chang's mouth tightened, and his eyes glittc•red coldly, but before John could say another word or help hi111self, he was picked up and carried away by some of Lu O10ng's men. He was placed in a small bare room. "Oh rats," thought John as the seriousness of his position came to him ... 1 was such a hla111ecl, hotheaded fool. \\'hy did I come here alone ? llut what will Ln Chong do to me ?'' The thought sent cold shivers up his hack. Accidently he pressed on the panel where he was standing. To his surprise this yielded easily. "\\'ell," he whispered to himself as he looked over the adjoining room, "here arc the bales of silk. \Vaiting for those opium cases I bet.'' Footsteps ! John in desperation crawled into one of the opl•n bales, closing the opening with a case of opium. ''I lurry, than fool, for this must replace the one that the pig of an :\111erica11 opened. :'.\love faster. thou son of a thousand fools !" The bale, with John inside. was hurriedly wrapped and placed on board thl' ship just before it sailed. "Help! help!" The first mate listened a moment: yes, the Yoicc came from thl' hale. He tore off the wrapping and pulled out J ohn half suffocated. "Get Lu Chong: he·s smuggling opium in bales of silk: get him!'' So Lu Chong was visited one night by the agents of the government and most mysteriously vanished. A. V t.ttff, '23.

lfistnry nf §eninr <!Class nf 1921 I lail ! ye dass of '21 now strong, faithful, enduring. But don't you remember the first day of our high school life? 1low insignificant we seemed- just freshmen, o f course. That was the heginning of a long, patient, and difficult struggle. Yet, spurred on by our thirst for knowledge and guided by the true hand of Providence, we have conquered our obstacles and 1~iastered our thoughts. \\'c started our high school career September. 1917, in the I !ill School, under the direction of :\liss l laydcn as principal and :\ liss Dorris as class advisor. In !\ovcmher a great hlcssing came to us- our new Baldwin 11 igh School was finished. \\"c were the first freshmen to enter and arc, therefore, the first seniors to go all four years in the new building. \\'c soon hecamc organized and assume;! our responsibilities like al\ ambitious freshmen, thus beginning to perceive just a little of the rocky way before us. llut there were several byways of pk·asurc tilled with joys. which relieved our minds from continuous study. Among them wcre,- a party at the home of Stuart J ohnson, who is now in "Sunny California" ; a sleigh ride with :\I iss Dorris as chaperone : and a spring pa rty at the home of :\Iargaret Donnelly. who was then a freshman with us. At the close of the term we were proud of the fact that we were sophomores with a chance lo turn the fun on the incoming class. In September, 1918, we returned with a new spirit. The class officen dectcd were : Stuart J ohnson, president; :\Tercl 1'arks, vice-president: and :\l ildrccl Toothacker, secretary and treasurer. :\liss lsherwood and :\Tr. T oot• hacker were appointed as class advisors. Our first class gathering was a I lal\owe'en party, which we enjoyed very much. as \\'e also did the skating party at \\'ing Lake, which was chaperoned hy :\Ir. Toot hacker. _\t the end of the first semester, we very much regretted the fact that ~I iss Stauch, our principal, wilfully resigned from her duties and left us lo our own cle,·ices until :\liss Schlaack stepped ·in and brought us hack to the straight ,ltl<l narrow path. .\t the end of the term all enjoyed a party at 11oh-lo. :'\ext in line came our Junior vcar. From a roll of thirty-eight mcmhers, we elected the following offi;ers: !'resident. :\Jere\ Parks: vice:prcsident, Victor l'e~·k: secretary, \\'arren I Janna: and treasurer, Lucil\c Camphell. :\liss Fergtl.~on and :\Ir. Field were appointed to lead us through the tangled thicket of Junior experiences. :\s an initiation into the social functions of Junior life, we "hiked'' with :\Ir. Field out Southficlc\ .-\ ve. As \'ariety is the si>ice of life. we added to our list of pleasures a I lallowe'en masquerade. Cider and doughnuts served as a feast. and ghosts and "spooks" as entertainment. :\l rs. \\'ilcox was the fortuneteller. and we found, to our mingled surprise and amusement, that :\Tr. rield had heen in lo\·e. Again in mid-year we experienced a change of session room teachers. :\liss Schlaack ceded her position to ~[rs. \\'hitesell. \\'e also welcomed into our realm t\\'o new Juniors, :\farina Xorris and :\Tortimcr Xeff. Thre~ of our me111hers- :\lercl Parks. :\lildred Toothacker. and .·\rthur Hartwell- were justh· honored hy recei\·ing positions on the debating team with three Seniors. • The dramatic talent of the class \\·as excellently portrayed in the Junior play. "r.recn Stockings." Tt was a $plendid production, and :\liss Ferguson and ~Ir. "Field deserve great credit for directing us so patiently through so many rehearsals.

As a feast is always enjoyed by a crowd of young people, a dinner dance was gi\'en June 18th in the auditorium in honor of the class of 1920. The rooms were attractively decorated and Finzel's orchestra was at its best. Later in the year we were pleasantly entertained with two paries at the home of Carl Daynes. And last of all, after the Commencement of '20, again we rallied for an excursion to Bob-lo. It was the last time we met as Juniors, and we were prottd that we had proved ourselves worthy of stepping one rod higher on the ladder of life. Last September this class returned with 41 members, from which were chosen as officers: President, 1l ortimer Neff; vice-president, }Jargaret Greene; secretary, Dora Green, and treasurer, Victor Peck. Miss Sherman and }liss Loomis were appointed as class advisors; ~Jiss Sherman, ~liss Hooper, and i·rr. Aliher as Senior Play advisors; and 1l iss Hardy, iliss Schlaack and }[iss Higgins as Annual Staff directors. The class, not believing in delay, immediately took up the responsibilities of Senior work. }liss Sherman was introduced as our new session room teacher, and, much to our surprise, Donald Voorheis was almost immediately given a front seat. The class colors chosen were king blue and white: the flower. Ophelia rose; and the motto. '')fothing great is lightly won.'' \Ve helie,,e the class has always appreciated this motto wttich we have chosen as an emblem of our ambitions. Much to our disappointment, two of our girls, Florence Kitchen and Evelyn Campbell, were unable to remain with us, Florence is rapidly regaining her health, and it is expected that she will come back to finish her high school course with one of the succeeding classes, \Ve wish her the joy of future success. To Evelyn, no expression of human wishes for happiness, comfort or health is needed. \\'e sincerely regret the loss of our comrade, but we have the memory of her loved companionship. \Ve were glad to have ot_hers come in: Vernon Converse and Dorothy Leland, making again a total of forty-one students. The Senior- Freshman Reception was given in the Auditorium, September 17, as the first play of the season and was shortly followed by others. Among them was a \'cry original I lallowe'en party at the home of 1larina Xorris. \\'e had a glorious time. The table was beautifully decorated, we played games until time for the luncheon, and afterward a merry dance took place. ?\o\'ember 5 the class gave a movie, Douglas Fairbanks in "His 1fajesty the American." A goodly amount of cash was received for the benefit of the "Scholarship Fund." The sale of Lecture Course tickets was very successful, and we were assured by those who attended that the quality of the course was unsurpassahle. For the sale of tickets the class was divided'. into teams. The winners, under the leadership of Catharine Floyd. were rewarded with a dinner gi\'cn by the loser,; on Xovember 23 in the cafeteria. The affirmative side of the debating team of n. II. S., composed of Elsie Doying, Arthur Hartwell and Forbes Hascall, debated first, on Friday evening, December 3, in the Auditorium, with Pontiac. The judges unanimously declared in fa\'or of the affirmative. Our negative side included :\!ere! Parks, }[ildred Toothacker and Helen Dutton. The members of the class having the best dramatic talent splendidly presented ''The Rivals," :\larch 23, in the Auditorium. The play was a difficult one, and the cast, as well as the directors, deserve much credit for their efforts. One of the .most noteworthy undertakings of our class has been to formulate in B. H. S. a ''Student Council." Vernon Converse and 1ferel Parks represent the Senior class. 61

WILLGETTA DIPLO~IA. The Seniors. (~fargaret Green.)

ttfroplfrry of tlfe ~enior C!tla:ss of 1921 The morning of September 1, 1931, dawned !only and blue. At 8:30 sharp the en tire graduating class of 1921 from Birmingham Iligh School was on the •lock. The command. '·All ahoard" was gh·en and the anchor was hauled in. \Ve were on our wa,· to l:ob-lo for a reunion. Soon the hand !<tarted to p lay. and, hefore the ]sl:im! had been reachccl, c,·en the Re,·ereml Clyde Peabody was shaking :1 wickecl foot. As soon as we landed, " Cliff'' J lunt expressed the desire to "paint the burg reel," so, in co mpany with \\'arren l lanna. the well known manufacturer of Apple Bc\'erag-cs, he set out. E nn cops must ha,·c thei r bad days, for a :1 you all know Clifford recently succeccled '' Nick" ~fooncy on the Birmingham Police Force. The rest of us made the roun1I of amusements until noon. Then we had lunch, and V ictor l'eck. now a caterer in New York,•admitted that even he could not have prepared better ''ca ts.'' Directly after dinner we had a baseball game, and Carl llayncs, who ri\'als Ty Cobb, pitched for us. Next we had a watermelon race. In this, iJorfimc r Neff, our president, Clayton l\cst, a professor of Greek at I rarvard, and Leonard :\IcKinlcy. owner o f the largcsl hotel in \Vindsor, tried for the prize. ''l\lort," now the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Boston , got the melon and carried it off for ·'Pei(' Green's inspection. \\'e might tell yott that Margaret has become a "l\l rs.'' and is a prominent leader in Bostou societv. After all had had a ta~tc of the covcte1I melon. we set out for the bathing beach. \\rhcn we arrived, a fancy swimming exhibition was in progress. "\\'ho is that clidng over there," asked some one. "\\'hy, it's lfercl Parks, who has become famous as one of l\fack Sennett's Bathing Beauties !" On our way o,·er to the Dancing PaYilion we stoppecl at the tennis court. JI ere. l\fartha Kurth, playing against Glen E\'ans. now the Agricu lture teacher in old B. H. S., won the game. And no wonder! For l\fartha is a physical instructor at Battle Creek. At the Pa\"ilion we saw l\farina Norris, now a society matron of \Vashingto n. Irma Chatficlcl, a successful dentist o f Kansas, and Helen Daniels, an art model in New York, deeply engrossed in watching the dancers. "Oh, there's Elsie Doying (lancing with Ralph Kreger! She'-;

an organist in Brooklyn now. and Ralph is the manager of the Adams Ave. Country Club. Those two who just passed are Catharin'e Floyd, authoress of the well known "Dream Book," and Donald Terry, conductor of the Terry Symphony. How well they dance together!'' finished Marina. Then we went over to the l\Icrry-Go-Round. The first persons we saw there were Donald Voorhies, who now travels with the Chautauqua as a magician, and Alice Baker, a missionary to India. So this was where Donald and Alice had been all afternoon! A runaway! \\'hen the pony had been stopped by Arthur Hartwell, ,1 representative from l\Iichigan, we recognized the two accupants of the cart as Elizabeth Schwanbeck and Margaret Bell, now owners of the Beauty Parlor and Hair Dressing Establishment in the Lc,·inson Building. \\·c went on to the \\-'hip. There we saw Thelma Stoll, the opera singer, and Leroy \\reier, owner of the \Veicr Cartage Company of Detroit, awaiting their turns. They were discussing the price of marriage licenses with Park Smith, \Vayne County Clerk of Detroit. · Further on we came to Mildred Toothackcr. She was explaining some reforms she had just instituted in her pri\'atc school to Viola Spicer. now librarian in nirmingham, and to Jessie and Helen \Villiams, who have a flourishing dressmaking establishment in Southfield. Coming around to the ice cream booth. whom should we sec, but Earl Parks, buying a cone of his own ice cream. Earl now owns a large creamery. Dora Green, a nurse at the Detroit Sanitarium, was there, too, trying some of the brand. Of course she pronounced it first-rate and so did we. On the other side. of the booth, Lucille Campbell, now a noted opera singer, was buying kewpie dolls. Surely none of her school mates has forgotten Luc1llc's fondness for them. As we strolled along the beach, trying to muster up enough courage to go in swimming, we saw a light canoe, skillfully pad<lled by a tall. blond athlete. Upon coming closer, we recognized our "Connie" of Student Council clays. Of course every one is familiar with the name of Vernon Converse, America's golf champion, who has to have a special room for all the trophies he has won. Almost concealed in the bright cushions at the other encl of the canoe, was Dorothy Leland. Really, they arc the two famous athletes of our class! Dorothy has been the tennis champion to represent American women in the Antwerp Games for a number of years. Finally, we went o\'er to where a Roller Coaster was in full progre.,;;;, As one of the cars came around the track, we saw Harry Brooks, an aeroplane manu!.acturcr of Southfield, and Ethel Chatfield, who now rivals Theda Bara on the silver screen. \ Vhcn we saw her we said, "Oh, lady, lady, those eyes!" Suddenly our attention was attracted to a crowd, fast collecting. \\' c heard some one almost shriek, "I said I dropped my hat. and I know it was picked up! I want it!" The speaker was none other than Isabella Curry, choir singer in the church of Utica. Instantly Grace Jackson, now a policewoman of New York, appeared with something in her han<I that looked like a hat. Peace was restored, and the crowd dispersed. Thoroughly satisfied with our reunion, we started for home. As nc neared Detroit we raised a lusty cheer for old B. II. S. PHYLLIS ;\(Yf[kS, '21.

JJiontball As the final whistle o i the closing game of a football season sounds, the thoughts of those inti:rested in this great school sport turn to "Our Prospects'' for next year. So we, of the Birmingham I ligh School, did at the close of the highly successful 1919 season, and found that these "Prospects'' were rosy indeed. Graduation would not take many, and the nucleus for a winning team was still left. However. the opening of school in Scpte,mher found hut four veterans in school and around these four the coach and captain faced the task of huilding a team to play an unusually hard schedule. The material for a team, while very willing, and full of fight. was green, and the slow process of development had to take place. From the standpoint of games won, our ~cason would prohahly be considered quite unsuccessful, since we won hut one g-amc. 1 lowe,·er, when thought is giYen to the fact that most of these men were playing football for the first time, and that they were playing Yeteran teams-teams composed of men oi two or three years' experience-the showing of our team was quite remarkable, even in defeat. Never has then. 11. S. been represented by a harder working, harder fighting or more loyal team than the team of 1920. \\'hat was lacking in experience, was largely made up in fight and gameness. A brief review of the season follows: The season opened at Birmingham on September 25 with Redeemer High. \\'cakencd hy the absence of two of our veteran men. who were laid low by vaccination, we were forced to take a i-0 beating, hut not without a plucky fight. Oct. 2 we travtled to Pontiac to take on our victims of 1919. Playing in their gravel pit and in the dust proved to he too much for our light weights, and Pontiac evened up with us for the neat defeat we handed them the year before. Oct. 16 Jfonroe High appeared at H-ham to battle our light weights. Monroe had an easy time, scoring four touchdowns in the first half. The second half our team became aware of some latent strength, and played their heavier opponents to a standstill. ~lonroe never threatened in the second half. Final score, 28-0. Oct. 23 Ypsi High, fresh from a string of victories, arrived in town to, as they expressed it, "roll us up." They found the going very strenuous, and were extremely lucky to gd away with a i-6 victory. Nov. 6 we played our old and respected rivals from Windsor. Breaks of the game decided this contest in favor of \\'incisor. They were a beaten team until the final minute of play, putting over the winning score to the music of the timer's whi1,tle. Nov. 12 we played Lincoln lligh of Ferndale. We finally made our appearance in the winner's column. .Kov. 20 we concluded our season at Hamtramck. This game, played in a sea of mud, turned out to be a deadlock until the final two minutes of play, when a bad pass, followed by a fumble, paved the way for a Hamtramck victory. 87

Oiirl.s' itn.sketbnll A h hough thl' Basketball girls started with only one experienced player, their rel"ord is the most brilliant one 111 the history of the l lirmingham school. They won sixteu1 of their scveutcen g-amcs. and \\'ould l"asily have won the seventeenth if , ~aptain Reynolds had played. The team gained its ability to win honors for the :\laroon and \\'hite through it ~ incessant work and intensive thought. Captain J:e1 z's strongly organized team, :ind Captain :\lcCormack's staunch little ninth graders supported them loyally. T heir opposition was constant and lively. The runnmg center, Reynolds, has been an especially conscientious, wholehearted played. She mastered basketball three years ago and has since e,trned a state-wide name. I lcr playing is always an exhibition of s peed, skill, anc\ intellig('IIC<.'. The n. 1 L S. has reason to deeply regret the removal of "The Little Forward," l'arks, by graduation. Iler rapid team work, accurate aim, and keen observation have baffled many good guards and piled up a score. "Ducky," the left-handed long shot, has the spirit of a true sportsman. She has always been ready to meet any opponent. Her peculiar boyish style of playing has entertained many spectators, and, at the same ti111e, increased the number of points for Birmingham. '•Kinney," the center player, e;1rly acquired a queer habit of out-jumping nearly en:ry opponent. The wrath of an adversary did not affect her at all. She was invariably calm and cool. The splendid teamwork of our clever guards, ''Tom'' and Norma, has inter• cepted many passes a nd sent the hall safely to the center. Doth players were skilled in numerous defensive and offensi\'e tactics, which ha,·e ser\'ed lo hold dO\nt the opponent's score. Each member of the team has played long and faithfully to master th e game. ] f the same spirit predo111inaks ne:-.t yt•ar. I\. I I. S. will have an exceptionally lint• team. The first game of the season, with Romeo. showed outsiders that J:irming• ham was a team lo hi! watched. T he five new players under Captain Reynolds j>laycd a square, clean game. I\y their puzzling teamwork ;ind superior training, n. IL S . mounted up a score of 42-4 against the Romeo veterans. In the next games. with Rochester, Oxford, The Dull Dogs. :\It. Clemens, and Ferndale, the girls looked fon,·ard to and 111et with little opposition. However, when the Rosary Independents came here Fch. 25. llirmingham was prepared for anything. This team held State Championship among lndcpcndcnt Teams thn.e years, and was considered invincihle. There fore, ohscrvers c,1uld scarcely believe the score hoard at the end of the game when it exposed :i. 1-core of 26-27 in 1:-ham's favor. T he next week, :\lard1 -l, East Lansing players were forced lo surrender their three year championship to Rirmin~ham with a ~core of 26-38 a~ainst them. lk•fore the season closed Tecumseh. Oxford. \\' incisor Col., Redford and I\. 1-1. S. Alumnae receh·ed defeat from the 1\-ham Champs. During the l\oys' Tournament al East Lan."-ing. the IL If. S. girls were in\'itcd there to play exhibition games. Their first game against Sagina w was easily won, with a score of 32-13 in llirmingham's favor. T hey would ha\'c, also, uudouhteclly won the second game. against East Lansing. if Reynolds had been permitted to play throughout the game, but without her the score mounted to 50~15 in the opponent's favor. East Lansing's victory over nirmingham could not affect championship, s ince they were aln·ady dis11ualified hy the defeat of )larch -1-. and further111ore refused to play a third game on a neutral floor Xo legal championship for gi rls i;; pos sible under the present ruling of the )I.

ilny.s' i1 a.sketbaU High School. The popularity of this sport was again very strongly attested this year. About thirty boys answered the first call for basketball, and of these thirty, twenty stayed through the season as first and second string men. After a period of several weeks of hard work, a battle front for the first game of the year was selected, and on Jan. i the campaign was started. This original battle front proved to be the one which carried on most of the offensive and defensive work of the year. However, they were ably backed by a very efficient replacement five, which could be depended upon to come through when(Wer called into action. A brief review of the season's games follows : Jan. i: Romeo, 2; B. H. S., i.5. Poor game, and offered no opportunity for sizing the real caliber of our team. '"Bahe" Hanna starred with seven field baskets. Jan. 14: Rochester 5; B. H. S., li, a closely contested game, and highly interesting to the fans. This game showed that the team had defensive powers, hut were weak on offensive. Jan. 21: i\Iarinc City , 13; B. H. S., 24. A fast, clean game, the best and hardest of the season to date. Again a good defense was on exhibition, and the offense, while i mproved, was still rather shaky. . Jan. 28: Oxford, 9; B. 1-1 . S., 40. Ox fore\ started strong and led for a few minutes. The quarter found our boys leading by a scant margin, which was greatly increased at the half. Second half was a rout. Feb. 9: Pontiac, 25; n. H. S., 18. Our first defeat, but only after a game struggle against big odds. Scoring as many baskets as did Pontiac from the field; we were beaten on goals from the foul line. Feb. 11: Lincoln High·, 3: B. IL S .. 4-i. Very one-sided as the score indicates. The defense of our boys worked so well that it could not be successfully penetrated. Feb. 18: i\Ionroe, 30; B. 1-1. S., 15. Inability to get started in the fir~t half cost us dearly. HowC\"cr, a team does well to get started at all on Monroe's small court. Feb. 25: Northeastern. 11; B. II. S .. 29. \ Ve ncnecl up for the trimming gi\·cn us the previous y ear. ~Iar. 11: Farmington, 21; B. H. S., 15. Farmington presented a mighty good team, one which Birmingham hacl failed to consider seriously. They were good, played consistent ball. and we offer no alibi. One game was also play ed with an independent team from Detroit. They were sent back to the city with the small encl of the score. During s pring Yacation week, the Alumni team. boasting many former High S chool star•:, were beaten l..J. to 9 in a game in which modern basketball ancl old time football played a prominent part. The season ended with the alumni game, gi\'ing us eight victories and three defeats. Stacked up against a stiff schedule, this is considered a very excellent showing.

3Jnninr i;iglT iS a.skefhall The reasons for having basketball for seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys are senral. First, it is in keeping with our policy to ha,·e e,·ery one actively interested in some branch of athletics, and it gives all, who care to, an opportunity to play on an organized team. Secondly, by this means , much 89

good material for the high school teams of future years is clisco\'erecl and dcHlopcd. This year, as last, a league was formed, captains chosen, and teams picked. A regular scheclule uf ten g-amcs was prepared, these games being pht) eel c,·cry Friday at four o'clock. Rel."ords of games played, won, and lost, as well as the teams' perccnfag'es, were carefully kept. and placed on the bulletin hnard each week, along with the scheduled games for that week. During the two years that we haYc hacl Junior lligh baskethall, it ha;, pro,·en highly successful. Man) oppo rtunities arc gi\cn these boys for lc.1<1l'rship, such as planning the personnel of their team and planning team play. It has pro,·en to be a splendid way of clcYcloping initiatin~ in the incli\'idual, Ct>-opcration in the ,·arious groups, ancl the ability to sacrifice personal ambition~ for the goocl of alJ concerned. \ \' e consider that the \ alue of this ,·enture has been well demonstrated. and look forward to e,·en better years of Junior I Iigh basketball.

Drink Lots of-Milk and Keep Healthy ECENT experiments have demonstrated that the humble milch cow is the true fountain of youth. Those who consume her product in abundant quantities are the living picture of health, possess long life and are seldom ill.

Milk, butter, cheese and the yolk of eggs are the only known food stuffs that contain the wonderful substance known as "Vitamines" which builds flesh, relieves and prevents dyspepsia, indigestion and other ills. Every normal man or woman should drink a pint a day. Those who are ailing should drink milk in larger quantities. Use milk you know is pure and pasteurued. To be sure, let ua supply your needs.
