�l i t r e s to ,oniebody staunch a w l trae,
IVho's always around when there's work to do,
Who keeps a supply of 'pep' and cheer
For all us folks for all the year.
Who knows that a gentle, loving smile
Is the best of tonics for all the while.
That there's nothing so bad that it can't be worse,
A case of blues is a terrible curse.
So here's to Mrs. Randolph staunch and true,
Who's the main stay of the Class of Twenty-Two.

�CLASS H I S T O R Y
CHAPTER I
l a t h e beginning our class was w i t h o u t form o r order. P r o f e s s o r
Swank therefore said, " L e t there be a classmeeting," and there was a
classmeeting.
And it came to pass that Melvin Ralston emerged from the multitude
as president, A r t h u r Hellenberg as vice president, Marguerite Shattuck as
scribe, J. T. Symons 88 class advisor, and behold t h e class o f '22 looked
upon their work and saw that it was good.
I t was t h e custom i n those days f o r the Seniors t o give unto the
Freshman a reception. A n d it was done.
Then there descended upon the school a great plague called the "flu."
And the Rabbles bade us flee from our studies until the plague had ceased.
And behold! T h e r e came forth from o u r midst three men of might.
" n x i t i e " Mohrhardt, Hubert Spade, and Clarence Hackett, who overcame
the enemy in tierce athletic contests.
Thusly ended this year with much glory for us.

CHAPTER I I
The next year we again assembled i n the antique temple of learning.
The rites of selection were again performed. A r t h u r Hellenberg became
president; M a x Earley, vice president; V e y Holmes, scribe; and M i s s
Bannister, class advisor.
And i t came to pass soon after we gathered together on Hallowe'en a
huge company to eat and make merry. A n d a l l the company did dance to
the sound of music and laughter.
There came unto t h e land o f C. H . S . a money changer to make a
covenant with us concerning a play, Katcha Koo b y name. V e r i l y, I say
unto you, a goodly part of the talent f o r t h e play came out from our class.
And our men of might were greatly increased i n number and added
to their glory on every occasion. A n d at the end of the year w e journeyed
into a strange country. H e r e we ate in abundance t h e f r u i t s o f t h e field
and engaged in a combat, "The Interclass Meet."

�CHAPTER I I I

Then after three months we went up again unto the land of C. H. S.
and again we chose new leaders, Margaret, daughter of William of the House
of Milnes, with Hubert Spade and Kenneth Olmsted as assistants W e
chose Mrs. Randolph to advise us in the hour of need.
Not many days after, this wise prophetess bade us partake of a feast
at her dwelling by the seaside.
Once again we gathered together a t the Parish House and rejoiced
among much merry-making and refreshments.
The Lord looked upon us with favor a n d once more did we smite our
enemies and would-be-champions for another year.
And Lo! it did happen t h a t o u r upper-classmen were t o graduate
after much toil. I t appeareth that many shekels were needed to fill our
coffers in preparation for a banquet and dance thereof. A n d with our mind
upon this, the public was bidden to attend our benefit. A n d Lo! the people
from all the surrounding t e r r i t o r y d i d come and bring unto our treasury
the shining shekels.
Now on the third day of the sixth month of the year one and twenty,
our tribe did give a big feast to the tribe of '21 saying, ' C o m e ye, come ye
and make merry with us." F o r w e knew t h a t the upperclassmen were
about to depart from our midst
And on the following Lord's day w e d i d all assemble in a body and
heard along with our upper classmen of the path that lay before them.
And i t came to pass that on the night that our friends were about t o
depart from the land of C. H. S., we did again assemble in a body, but this
time at Tibbit's Theatre. A n d here w e d i d witness them securing their
coveted sheepskin, and listened to a great prophet from the far country of
Ann Arbor.
And our men of might had returned to us from s m i t i n g t h e enemy
with still greater honor.
Thus the third year of our sojourn i n t h e land of knowledge came to
it's end with a feast by the seaside southeast of our land of dwelling.

�CHAPTER I V

Now this, the fourth year in the history of this tribe of two and twenty has ended. A n e w leader, M a x Benjamin and h i s assistants, Donald
Draper and Elizabeth Woodward, were chosen f r o m t h e multitude. M r s .
Randolph was again chosen from among t h e Rabbies, to guide our rising
steps. A n d we sent up unto that ruling assemblage, the council, Gertrude
Fredrichs and Donald Draper. A n d honor was done unto Draper and he
was made president.
And then after a short time we bade all the tribes in the land of C. H.
S. to assemble at the temple of learning. A n d they did attend a Reception
which our tribe gave unto the Freshman tribe. A n d w e gave much entert iinment to make the children merry.
And the tribes of our land could n o t enter i n t o combat w i t h other
lands in the winter for the place o f combat had become evil in the Lord's
sight and been destroyed by fire. H o w -be-it, o u r coffers became fat with
gold and silver shekels from the benefits and the great Senior Play wnich
our tribe presented unto the world. F o r much money was needed to make
a fitting paper which would d o honor unto o u r tribe, t h a t we might the
better remember our tribesmen when we traveled in far off lands.
And the wise ones of our tribe were made t o s i t before t h e artist,
each by himself and in groups and there came to be a great exchanging of
likenesses.
And then every tribesman was very busy f o r we were preparing to
leave the temple of learning. A n d at last, on t h e eighth day o f t h e sixth
month of the year two and twenty our t r i b e gathered together a t Tibbit's
Theatre and received our sheepskins. A n d our tribe forever left the land
of C. H. S.
And now we wish much success and pleasure to all the f u t u r e tribes
who dwell in the land of C. H. S.

no doubt as to their success.

The Class of Twenty- Tw o present t h i s b o o k t o Coldwater H i g h
School which is the second annual edited by a Senior Class.
With the hearty co-operation o f every individual w e trust the work
done has been satisfactorily accomplished.
We have earned the money to make the publication o f such a book
possible, in the main part, by our Senior Play, entitled " O h ! Oh! Cindy."
This was given on March 17, 1922, and financially successful to the extent
o f two hundred and sixty-five dollars.
We also have had numerous movies w h i c h were m o s t successful.
"Benefits" seems to be our money-makers, f o r, i t seems, we could even
sell a ticket to a wooden Indian.
The Editor, at this time, wishes to state her appreciation of the work
done by the other members o f the Staff. T h e y have been more than
faithful in their support i n m a k i n g this b o o k one o f which, w e hope,
the class o f Nineteen Hundred Twenty- Tw o will always be proud.

CLASS P O E M
There's a memory dear to our class,
As we leave old C. H. S.
Of the days of gloom and the days of cheer
While we've tried to do our best.
There's a memory dear of the friends who helped
On the long hard way we came.
So we'll give to them our greatest thanks
And we'll ever do the same.
There were the good times too, that we have had
The thoughts of leaving them make us sad.
There were numerous gatherings of the whole band,
And the parties and picnics of all our class
There will be more good times in the days to come
Parties and picnics and all kinds of fun.
But we'll not forget as we go on with the rest
The good old times in C. H. S.
As we take our part in the game of life
And play it with the rest
The lessons we've learned in C. H. S.
Will help us in the strife.
There may be some who will fail, and some who will win
But whate'er the cost, whaler the returns g r e a t
We will all be game.

�VA L E D I C T O R Y
Yeiive Angevine
" T o Strive, t o Seek, t o F i n d , and N o t t o Y i e l d "
iVe are i n sympathy w i t h Ulysses because we too have reached
one of the turning points o f our lives, the end of our high school education. F o r twelve years we have been tutored, directed, a n d guided.
We have been as children led along a p a t h w a y ; n o w w e come t o a
cross-roads. T h e grasp of the friendly hand i s now loosed. W e are
left t o choose which p a t h -we a r e t o follow; the one t h a t i s rugged
and leads o v e r t h e steep mountains, or the one that is easy and winds
through t h e pleasant valleys o f life. C o m m e n c e m e n t i s a n a r c h
through which we can see the world and these two paths; one rugged,
steep and lonely, the other smooth,nd are l e f t w i t h o u t these friendly,
As we pass through this arch a easy, b u t leading where?
guiding hands, how great the temptation to say," I am weary and would
rest awhile," forgetting that every h o u r o f endeavor, e v e r y effort we
make would only make the rough road easier to lead us to newer a n d
better things. T h e n let us not t a r r y in the pleasant valleys of life, but
start while our ambitions are still strong, and while we have the faith
to conquer all things.
There we know not what adven 'ores await us, though we may often
fail, there is always some work w o r t h y o f our efforts. O u r s t r u g g l e
is but begun; w i t h free hearts, free minds, w i t h Ulysses we m a y y e t
follow knowledge like a sinking star, and find t h a t youth holds not all.
" T h e best is yet to b e . "
" T h a t which we are, we are: crie equal temper o f heroic h e a r t s ,
made weak by time and fate, but st 'ong in w i l l t o strive, t o seek, t o
find, and not to y i e l d . " I t may be t h a t i n years t o come, some o f us
may reach those happy isles, may know fame, fortune, or f a r lands.
We have learned from the past t h a t the heart o f man k i n d d o e s
not change from generation to generation. A m b i t i o n s , d e s i r e s , a n d
yearning f o r nobler things remain t h e same through the ages. H i s t o r y
teaches us t h a t the daring souls of t h e world, those we call heroes, are
the ones who, obtaining knowledge, overcoming obstacles, a c h i e v i n g
success; they are not content to settle down i n peace and enjoy the rewards of their efforts, but restless, unsatisfied, p r e s s on, ever seeking
new worlds to conquer. I tun going to tell you the story of one of these
high-bearted heroes of old, Ulysses.

�Many, many years ago, Helen, t h e m o s t beautiful w o m a n i n t h e
world and wife of Menalus. KinA o f Greece, was c a r r i e d o f f by Paris,
son of the K i n g of Troy. F r o m this incident there arose a war, known
as the Tr o j a n war. T h e K i n g of Greece called all the great Chieftains
of his country together for the purpose o f rescuing Helen. U l y s s e s ,
who had married Penelope, a cousin of Helen, was loth to go to war as
he was happy in his home, his island kingdom, Ithaca, b u t due t o the
call o f the king i t was necessary for h i m to obey.
Greece being successful in the Tr o j a n W a r , Ulysses was allowed
to return home. A f t e r ten years of struggle, hardship, and adventure,
he finally reached home safely.
During Ulysses' absence, Penelope had been besieged b y m a n y
suitors. U l y s s e s , however, soon r i g h t e d matters and settled down to
enjoy the ease and comfort afforded h i m b y peace and prosperity, b u t
he soon grew dissatisfied w i t h t h e easy l i f e he was l i v i n g and could
not content himself there.
One o f o u r greatest E n g l i s h poets, A l f r e d L o r d Tennyson, has
given us t h e p o i n t o f view o f the o l d hero, h i s da:igers p a s t a n d
nothing l e f t b u t t o stay a t home a n d b e h a p p y —growing t i r e d o f
inaction and resols ing t o set f o r t h again in quest o f new adventures:
' I t l i t t l e profits t h a t an idle K i n g ,
By this still hearth, among t h e s e barren crags,
Match'd w i t h a n aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest f r o m travel: T w i l l d r i n k
Life t o the lees: A l l times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd g r e a t l y b o t h w i t h those
That loved m e , a n d alone; o n shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming w i t h a h u n g r y heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments.
Myself not least, but honor'd o f them all;
And drunk delight of battle w i t h m y peers,
Par on the ringing plains of w i n d y Tr o y.
I am a part of all t h a t I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams t h a t untravell 'd world, whose margin fades
Forever and forever when I move.

�How (lull i t is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As t h o ' to breathe were life. L i f e piled on life
Were all too little, and of one t o me
Little remains; but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more.
A bringer of new things; and v i l e i t were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearningin desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound o f human thought.
There lies the port: t h e vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark broad seas. M y mariners,
Souls that have toil 'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever w i t h a f r o l i c welcome took
The thunder an./ the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, f r e e foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age !lath yet his honor and his t o i l ;
Death closes a l l : b u t something ere the end,
Some w o r k o f noble note m a y yet be done,
Not unbecoming m e n t h a t strove with Gods.
The l i g h t s begin t o twinkle f r o m the rocks:
The long day wanes: t h e slow moon climbs: t h e deep
Moans round w i t h many voices. C o m e , m y friends,
"Pis n o t t o o late t o seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in o r d e r smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
I t may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the h a p p y Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom w e knew.
Tho' much i s taken, much abides: a n d t h o '
We are not now t h a t strength which in old days

Oh, Oh, C i n d y ! presented M a r c h 17 under t h e auspices o f t h e
Senior Class was one o f the most s t r i k i n g and artistic o f the pjays
presented by high school talent.
The first scene is in New Yo r k w i t h Cinderella VanAlstine, one o f
the principals o f the " F o l l i e s " becoming dissatisfied w i t h h e r s u r roundings. I n a dream she i s permitted, in company w i t h associates
of t h e Follies, t o v i s i t RobinsonCrusoe on h i s island. Needless t o
say that she is disillusioned as well disallusions Robinson Crusoe, L i t
ly White, the black men, F r i d a y and Saturday, and the l i t t l e cannibals.
From the island she is transported b y aeroplane t o the L a n d o f
Heart's Desire. Because wishes are realized i n s t a n t l y a n d she m a y
not do her own shi—Ung, Cindy is again dissatisfied and wishes t h e
magical machinery smashed so she m a y go to good old New York.
She awakens i n h e r dressing room at the theatre i n time to proceed w i t h t h e evening performances.

�Prominent w i t h the "Songs o f Yesterday a n d To d a y " w a s L a
Crier. T h i s p a r t required the expression o f many moods i n i n t r o ducing t h e v a r i o u s groups consisting o f " T w o L i t t l e Girls i n Blue,
Indians, Irish, Quakers, Japanese, Hulas Orientals and Starlight girls.
This, the grand finale, was the most s t r i k i n g part o f the play.
Other groups worked in during t h e play were the Flappers, Harlequins, Av a t i o n Chorus, Tiekletow group, B a l l e t , Messengers, D r u m
Corps, Cannibals, Gnomes and Fireflies.
Some of the Clever songs were, " O h , Miss W h i t e , " sung b y F r i day, cannibals and c h o r u s ; " 'Quack' said the Duck sung by Santa and
the big four; "Come Along to the M o v i e s , " by Cindy, Blanche, Three
Bears, Robinson Crusoe, Steve Craig and Santa; " O h , what a B u m p , "
by Santa, Steve and Godmother; " I n o u r Aeroplane," " A v i a t i o n "
group; " I want a chance t o Beat t h a t D r u m , " F r i d a y ; a n d , " T h e
Light o f m y L i f e , " Steve and Cindy.
The scenery and costumes were b o t h elaborate and beautiful. T h e
play was a medley of color and music. T h e music was of that catchy,
lingering type, w i t h airs that made y o u want t o whistle. T h e r e were
no moments o f rest i n the production because of its wealth of artistic
dancing and clever playing.

In 1920 a Hi-Y was organized in Coldwater, under the leadership of Mr.
Good, by the Hillsdale Hi-Y. T h e association has for its advisory board the
old Y. M. C A . advisory board. T o these men and M r. Good is due a large
amount of credit for the success.
The charter members o f t h e association were the fellows returning
from the State Older Boys' Conference at Grand Rapids during the fall of 1920In the fall of 1921 an amendment to the constitution was made admitting
Freshmen to the association under a separate organization but controlled by
the Hi-Y council.
The inain purpose o f the club i s " To create, maintain, and extend
throughout the community high standards o f Christian Character." T h e
aim or each member is to make more t i r m and complete t h e triangle of all
around manhood which has for its sides; mind, body and spirit. E a c h o f
these has its place in the meeting o f the association which i s divided into
three parts; devotional, vocational, and recreational.
The pin of the association i s a red triangle with a white cross within.
The white cross stands for purity. T h e red triangle stands for red blooded
growth in body, mind, and spirit.
Two annual banquets are held, the banquet for old Hi.Y members held
during the holidays, and the Lads' and Dads' banquet held in the spring.

The Roosevelt Debating Club is s t i l l very much on the map, though
its membership was decreased greatly through the graduation of the class
of 1921.
Under the leadership of Ithmer Coffman and Fannie Moog, the club
has done its best this year to live up to the purpose of its organization, the
welfare of debating, and have enjoyed themselves and benefitted greatly at
its meetings. T h e club also owes much t o the energy and wisdom of its
faculty advisor, Miss Ralph, who has done much for its welfare.

After a year o f inactivity, C. H . S . again entered the State High
School Debating League. D u e to financial difficulties she was unable t o
complete h e r schedule o f five debates, and three members o f the team
Roland Lucas, Duane Sanford and Marshall Hungerford were not afforded
a chance to participate in active debating.
Because of the inexperience of the members of the teams three debates were lost but the experience of this year has afforded a good foundation for the debating team of "23."

Shortly after school many of the members of the class walked out to
the Coffman home and b y supper t i m e a large majority o f the class was
present. T h e time before supper was spent i n playing tennis, pitching
quoits and dancing. T h e supper was i n the form o f a frazzle and was
enjoyed by all.
The time after supper was spent i n discussing plans f o r the Freshman reception.

SENIOR CLASS P A R T Y
The Senior class entertained at a most enjoyable p a r t y at the Parish
House on January the thirtieth. T h e program was in charge of Carol Dove.
who selected her own committee and arranged a delightful program which
was opened at 8 o'clock with selections given by the Toy Symphony orchestra; a reading by Miss Edith Secor; piano solo b y M i s s Allene Swain; fantastic dance by Marion Olmsted.
The latter p a r t o f t h e evening was featured b y a peanut hunt, a
"Who's Who" contest, in which baby pictures o f the contestants played a
large part in the game.
Refreshments were served and the evening's enjoyment was made
complete when the "Coldwater Serenaders" appeared o n t h e scene and
furnished music for the dancing.

The football team o f 1921 b y h a r d w o r k a n d t r a i n i n g m a d e a
good record t h i s year. C o n s i d e r i n g the fact o f the loss o f so many
men f r o m the previous year's team. T h e positions left open were filled
by those who remained f r o m last year's team and from the new material which reported t o Coach M a r t i n f o r t h e 1921 season. C o a c h
Martin carried out the filling and t r a i n i n g o f men f o r these positions
not only benefit to the team but also w i t h c r e d i t t o himself, a n d i n a
short time had a team trained and f i t f o r a hard season, which, under
the guidance of Captain Earley proved equal to the task.
The first game o f the schedule was w i t h Union C i t y, a t Coldwater. U n i o n City had an unusually strong team w h o p u t u p a h a r d
fight. T h e y started i n f r o m the v e r y first and h i t our line f o r good
gains. T h e local ioquad b e i n g inexperienced, lacked organized team
work. T h e Union City team finding the weak spots, pushed one score
over i n the first h a l f . I n t h e second half, t h e v i s i t i n g t e a m came
back strong. T h i s , along w i t h the f a c t that the local team seemed unable to carry the ball on the offensive f o r consistent gains, made o u r
chance o f winning look slim, u n t i l near the finish of the game when by
means o f a long pass, the local team brought the ball well d o w n t h e
field, which in the end, made possible a touchdown for C. H. S.
Score, C H S 7—Union C i t y 7

�Two weeks following, on Saturday, the local team drove t o Jackson by auto to play. J o r d a n was sick and unable t o play. L e v y was
injured from practice, but managed t o play the entire game. T h i s left
the line in a weak condition. I n spite of this the local squad held Jackson well for the first quarter. B u t f r o m then o n our team seemed t o
lose its power of defense, and Jackson pushed t h r u t h e l i n e f o r long
gains. D u r i n g the remaining three quarters, J a c k s o n n e t t e d f o u r
touchdowns while C. H . S. was unable to come back against the Jackson team for a score.
Score: C. H . S. 0 —Jackson 28
The following week the local gquad made a trip to Adrian. H e r e , as
was the case the Year before, the locals p l a y e d t h e best game o f the
season. A d r i a n was mindful of the defeat C. H. S. gave her the previous
year, and planned to gquare up for i t against this year's team. T h e locals were confident of winning, so the game from the very start was a
hard and fast one. T h e first few minutes of play showed the two teams
to be evenly matched. A s neither team was able to make their downs,
they were both forced to punt during t h e e n t i r e game. T h e l o c a l s
brought the ball to within three feet o f A d r i a n ' s goal b y intercepting
one of Adrian's passes, but lost i t on a fumble. T h e rest of the game
was a hard fight on the part of both teams to secure a touchdown before
time was called. A d r i a n attempted-nany times to make good a place
kick but Coldwater's defense was good and the plays were easily broken TIP.

Score: C. H . S. 0—Adrian 0
The next game was with Albion a t Coldwater. A f t e r t h e defeat
Albion gave C. H. S. the Year before, the local team thought i t necessary to give the visiting team a setback. T h e Coldwater team was ready for a hard fight but Albion proved to be easier defeated t h a n t h o t
for. A l t h o Albion put up a game fight, their eleven could not hold back
the local eleven.
Score: C. H . S. 12—Albion 7
The succeeding game with Three Rivers was an easy one. T h r e e
Rivers having taken up football this year after they had discontinued
it f o r several years, h a d a team :composed o f a l l inexperienced
players. T h e game, which was pl aved from start to finish i n a drizzling rain, was slow and lifeless. T h e local team experienced l i t t l e
opposition against the visiting team, due probably t o their inexperience and the weather condition.
Score: C. H . S. 25—Three Rivers 0

�The next game on the schedule was Marshall. T h e d a y o f t h e
game was v e r y cold. T h e local squad was cold and unable t o get
warmed u p b e f o r e the game w a s called. C o n s e q u e n t l y they were
slow and played lifeless. M a r s h a l l w h o had a fast team , rushed t h e
local team off their feet at the very s t a r t , m a k i n g three touch-downs
in the first five minutes of play. T h e Coldwater team p u t up a game
fight, but the Marshall eleven was t o o strong and fast for them. M a r shall was able t o score twice more before the finish o f the game.
. Score: C. H . S. 0 —Marshall 31

One week later, on Armistice D a y, a game was played with Edon,
Ohio, at Coldwater. M u c h had been heard a b o u t t h e r e c o r d o f the
Edon team, leading the Coldwater eleven t o behiee t h e y w o u l d encounter a hard game. T h e visiting team, however, proved t o be l e s s
formidable t h a n expected, t h e locals having little d i f f i c u l t y i n running u p a w i n n i n g score against t h e opposing eleven.
Score: C. I I . S. 2 0 —Edon, Ohio 7
Next on the schedule was a game with Sturgis. T h i s was an easy
victory for C. H. S. A l t h o the Sturgis team played a good game, they
were too light to hold back the Coldwater eleven, the locals pushed four
touchdowns thru the Sturgis line in t h e f i r s t t h r e e q u a r t e r s o f t h e
game. T h e n having the game practically cinched, second t e a m m e n
were sent in so that they might gain experience f o r the c o m i n g year.
By the end o f the last quarter the entire team was composed of second
team men except two. S t u r g i s scored once during this quarter.
Score C. I I . S. 27—Sturgis 7

The Thanksgiving game played a t Hillsdale was a disappointment
for C. H. S. C o l d w a t e r High had won f r o m Hillsdale f o r several consecutive years and desired very much to keep up such a record. T o accomplish this the locals put special e ff o r t and longer hours o f practice
into developing and practicing new plays t o use against the Hillsdale
eleven. T h e game was played on the college field following a game between Olivet and Hillsdale Colleges.

The track team of 1922 has taken up the work of encouraging and
developing this line of sport in C. H . S. T h e y have had no convenient place to train; but have accepted t h i s inconvenience a s part o f
their work. T h e team as a whole, has endeavored t o c a r r y o n t h e
good record of last year's team to t h e best of their ability.
The annual inter-class meet, which is the first o f the season, was
entered i n t o w i t h much enthusiasm by the members o f the different
classes. T h e class winning receives t h e p r i v i l e g e o f having t h e i r
name and year engraved on the Osborn trophy cup. T h e first event
of the inter-class meet was the six m i l e cross country relay race from
Quincy to Coldwater. T h e Seniors won this, giving them 10 points toward the winning of the trophy cup. T h e track events were held next at
the Fair grounds.
Then followed the field events a t Wa t e r Works Park. T h e Sopho
mores took the lion's share o f the points i n both the track and field
events, taking nine firsts out of the thirteen events h e l d i n the i n t e r class schedule. R e n s h a w s t a r r e d f o r the Sophomore team, securing
seven of the nine firsts taken by the class, also a t h i r d place, making
him a total o f thirty-six points. T h e Sophs took the meet by a good
margin, the final score being:
lst—Sophomore 5 7 points 2 n d —Seniors
4 8
points
3rd—Juniors
2 8
points 4 t h —Freshmen
0

On Saturday, May sixth, a field d a y was held with Albion at Coldwater. A ball game was played in the forenoon and a track meet held
at the F a i r Grounds i n the afternoon. T h i s meet was an easy one
for Coldwater, C.H.S. winning by a large score.

�On May thirteenth Coach M a r t i n took eleven members of the High
School Track Team to the Kalamazoo Normal meet. T h e records made
at the Normal meet this year were m u c h better than those of the previous. years. T h e fine condition of the track and the favorable weather
contributed much undoubtedly to the good time made i n t h e events.
However, only a few of the men sent were able t o place. T h o s e w h o
placed are mentioned below:
H. Spade, High jump, height 5 ft.8 in., 3rd place
K. Olmsted, pole vault, height, 10 f t . , 4th place.
0. Renshaw, B r o a d j u m p , distance, 19 ft. 11% in, 5th place.

The next meet was with !Misdate and Hudson, at Hillsdale on the
afternoon o f May eighteenth. P l a n s were made to let school out early
in order that all who desired m i g h t attend the meet. Shortly after dinner it began raining and it looked as i f the meet would have to be called
off. B u t after some hesitation Coach Martin decided to go even i f the
weather conditions were bad. A l t hough it rained the entire afternoon
the meet was successfully carried out. Hudson, however fell out of the
meet, not being able to place against C. H. S. and Hillsdale.

June 3, Coach Martin with nine members of the High School track
team made a t r i p t o t h e Lansing State meet. T h e local team made
a good showing in the meet, taking fourth place among fourteen schools
Four of the nine boys sent took places i n t h e meet receiving medals.
Two of the boys on the teams faile d to make the t r i p and both stood
good chances of winning a place. I f all o f the men had taken part in
the meet Coldwater would have ranked close to first. T h o s e who placed
were:
Renshaw, high jump, height 5 ft. 5 in., 2nd place.
Renshaw, broad jump, distance 19 ft. 10 in., 2nd.
Watson, low hurdles, time 27 2-5 sec., 3rd.
Holmes, mile, time 4:52 1-5 sec., 3rd.
Olmsted, pole vault, height 10 ft., 3rd.
With the interest t h a t has been shown b y the underclassmen i t
is a certainty that C. H. S. will put o u t some good track team work in
the future. C o a c h M a r t i n has done much along t h i s l i n e o f sport,
and to him we owe the success of the teams of the last two years.

��IN MEMORIAM
T H E class o f nineteen twenty-one is about t o pass i n t o that "majestic realm''
o f the unknown. called L i f e . T h e members o f this class, m x i n departing
from their A l m a Mater, take this opportunity t o make known t o the public
the facts o f their history. S u c h is the purpose o f the ensuing article.
Early in September, nineteen seventeen, we, the members o f the class o f nineteen twenty-one, a l o n g w i t h m o r e t h a n h a l f a hundred others w h o have since
left o u r ranks, made the acquaintance o f Coldwater H i g h School. W e were i n troduced t o this organization w i t h an impressive and original ceremony. I t coniiisted o f songs by the entire class, gorgeously costumed in green, o u r native color.
followed b y songs b y individuals, solo dancing b y B i l l M i l n e s a n d M a x Wa k e man, acrobatic stunts b y N i l e s Baldrige and Nathan Shafer, and was concluded
by a lesson i n love m a k i n g o n a m o o n l i g h t n i g h t ( m i n u s t h e m o o n l i g h t ) especially prepared b y M o r t ( /Ills a n d E l s i e P a l m e r.
Ve soon learned that g e t t i n g an education was n o t as easy as finding threeleaf clovers: that the book o f knowledge contained facts not included in o u r scope.
But o u r Freshman year was not without its pleasures, f o r the class o f '17 gave
its one o f the best receptions ever held f o r a Freshman class. T h i s was o u r first
introduction t o the social side o f H i g h School l i f e .
In choosing a president w e take great pride i n o u r excellent display o f gotx1
judgment i n electing A l b e r t Hodgman.
Bill M i l n e , was our only representative i n football t o get his letter. W e have
always been proud o f B i l l . and w i l l continue t o be so t o o u r d y i n g day.
The peaceful cottrse o f o u r progress w a s broken somewhat b y t h e W a r i n
Europe, w h i c h called several o f o u r teachers t o the colors.
But a t last, i n spite o f various obstacle: encountered o n t h e w a y, a f t e r nine
months o f hard w o r k and study we succeeded i n shaking o ff that dreadful name.
Ft eshman. and t o o k the more dignified appellation, Sophomore.
A f t e r a brief period o f recuperation. (luring which we became widely scattered.
we t o o k u p once more o u r task, t h i s t i m e nearer mental perfection.
As Sophomores w e a g a i n demonstrated o u r sound j u d g m e n t a n d c o m m o n
sense in choosing K a t h r y n Shattuck f o r president.
D u r i n g this year, w e had o u r first class party, which was a r e d letter epoch i n
our history, as i t has led t h e w a y t o many enjoyable social events.
This was the year o f " r e d pepper i n the ventilators- - t h e previous year having been famous f o r bookstacks—and several students were expelled f r o m school
as a result o f malicious behavior. W e are proud t o say t h a t none o f o u r classmates were involved i n this breach o f discipline. and also that w e have a perfect
iecord i n that none o f our class have ever been asked t o make themselves scarce.
D u r i n g this year our number was decreased by the death o f Margaret Moore.
She l e f t many friends i n o u r class. and w e w i l l always cherish her memory.

�t
Well, to cut a long story short, we so increased the size and capacity of that
organ of the human body, which distinguishes its front the class of '20 known as
the brain, that we soon passed to the next stage of development. the Junior Class.
Again we enjoyed a brief period of rest before we took up the strenuous mental effort of maintaining the dignity of Juniors. H e r e we began to comprehend
the facts which had been pounded into our skulls by the heartless faculty for so
long before, and it was astonishing how fast we developed our intellectual capacity.
In choosing a president, we even outdid our former good judgment hy selecting Helen Farwell to be mistress of ceremonies. She was personally responsible
for the success of our numerous activities while Juniors.
Along with our greater and broader knowledge of life, we took even greater
honors in the athletic field. W e also had a large majority on the trio of clamant,
howling, insurgents known as the debating team.
We made our first attempt at getting for ourselves the root of all evil, the
American dollar (Canadian money discounted). I n this respect we were so successful that we immediately turned around and converted our hard-earned cash
to the benevolent task of feeding and entertaining the hungry and pleasure seeking class of 1920. W e also had several social events, including a sleighing party,
at which we all enjoyed the cold weather and the excitement of thawing out.
But even such activities could not stem the tide of golden sand flowing from
the upper compartment of Father Time's sand glass to the lower chamber, and
so we soon found ourselves no longer Juniors, but in the most coveted and noble
station known to the mind of man, Seniors in Coldwater High School.
Ye Gawds! Could we stand the test? Could we uphold the traditions and
beloved customs of old C. H. S.? Have we done it? I t is for you to decide.
You have seen us, under the leadership of John Gage. uphold our part in school
activities. Yo u have seen its contribute to the football team one of the best Captains C. H. S. ever had, as well as the majority of players on one of the most
successful teams we have ever had. Yo u have seen us do our part in all branches
of athletics. Yo u have seen its successful in our Senior Fair, raising more money
than any similar High School activity has ever made. Y o u have helped us in
staging the most successful Senior play ever witnessed in Coldwater. Yo u have.
some of you, had the pleasure of removing the figure ones front the banners which
we won in the ticket contests, with a percentage in the basket-ball ticket contest
of over 200%. A n d you have seen its publish (with your generous aid, for which
we thank you kindly) the best, we proudly say, and the largest "Mirror" C. H. S.
has ever had the privilege of reading. A n d lastly, you have seen its graduate one
of the largest classes ever to graduate front C. H . S.
Now Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen, we leave to you the task of living
up to the traditions of our most beloved High School. A n d after we are gone
from your sight, we beg you to remember that we are still thinking of you and
Coldwater High School.

�CLASS PROPHECY
A T

last, I believe that I am really going to have an afternoon to myself, and
will have a chance to take a little much needed rest. T h e r e goes that
door bell. I might have known that there could be no such thing as rest
in this life.'•
"Well, well I f it isn't Pauline Kaiser. Yo u old dear. Where have you been
keeping yourself? How nicely you look. Where did you get that wonderful Marcel?"
"Why, didn't you know that I own one of the most exclusive beauty parlors
in Chicago? I thought every one had heard o f it. Ye s , my assistant, Leona
McGrew, is managing the business while I take a needed vacation. I began last
week by going down to the old class reunion. and I certainly heard the news."
"Oh, I've been longing to see some one who went to the reunion. I wanted to
go but Jimmy had the measles, and so I was unable to attend. Do tell rue about it.''
"Well, about the most sensational thing is the divorce suit of Helen Farwell
Ralston. B o b Rattray and Bert Hodgman are the lawyers in the case. B o b is
working for Helen, and they say he is not entirely uninterested. I never thought
it of Bob, slid you? B u t then, you never can tell. However. this is the third time
that Helen has applied for a divorce, but she always takes him back."
"How shocking! D i d you hear anything about Kathryn ?"
"Yes, she and Nape are married, and run a swell hotel at a summer resort in
the Alleghenies. Nathan Shafer is firing on the railroad that goes near their
home, and ' K ' waves to him from the garden every day. Elsie was at the reunion and told me about them. I t seems that she stayed at the hotel a couple of
,veeks while she was on her honeymoon with Mr. Rockerbilt. Yo u know she always said she'd marry for money and manners. H e r husband is seventy-five years
old, has a couple of millions, and elegant table manners. Elsie is very happy."
"I always thought she'd marry Mort. I s he still enjoying single blessedness?"
'Yes, he's a very eligible bachelor. l i e ' s still behind the counter of one of
the leading haberdasheries of Coldwater. M o r t and Levi Wirley are great pals!
You know Levi owns 'The Club,' now. S p o t was at the reunion too. H e and
Nellie are married. and Spot is the leader of the brass band in a carnival. M a u rice Johnson is the 'strong man; and Leta Dollimore is the 'snake-charmer.'"
"Oh. I know some stews I can tell you, if I didn't go to the reunion. I heard
Niles lecture lately. He and Shirley are leaders of the National Prohibition Party."
"Did you hear the awful news about *Looie' Wirt? H e was experimenting in
his laboratory on a new kind of a 'still.' Something went wrong and he was
blown to atoms. ' F a t ' Wakeman, a member of the mounted police. but still a
great friend of Look, was headed for the cellar when the end came."
"Well, I knew that he•sl end by blowing himself up, one way or another."
"By the way, did you vote for John at the presidential election last fall? Yo u
know that he got his start in politics when he was president of the Senior Class.
I went to his inauguration. l i e certainly (lid in II by several members n1 the class.

has proved a great success. T h e i r music seems to be mostly humorous and highly
entertaining. T h e y have appeared on f o r m a l programs o f t h e school, sometimes
a selected group rendering a clever song, and have also appeared w i t h the G i r l s '

have enjoyed the serenading i f the so thoughtful trotiltailours.

Last fall Mr. Good (as good as his name), who is om senior leader, started
something. H e got a few of the fellows so interested in a State Hi Y convention that they decided to attend, and there, by the talks from sonic of the greatest
men of the country, sonic of them at least, were first made to realize that there
was something else to consider in life besides body and mind. T h e y resolved to
complete the Hi Y Triangle of body, mind, and spirit.
Since that time, the club has increased in numbers many fold, and they have
attended many banquets at Hillsdale and here. O n e of the best of these was the
ene at which Tad Wieman. one of the world's greatest foot-hall players. talked
to them. T h e y have had wonderfully good times at all of these banquets, in fact
they do at all of their meetings. L i n t that is not their chief aim. T h e i r one big
purpose is to make more firm the triangle of body, mind and spirit, and a part of
every meeting is devoted to each of these. E v e r y time they have some sort of
athletics, basket-ball, boxing, etc. A t almost every meeting they get sonic business man to talk of business conditions in the community, and perhaps the most
important part of each meeting is the Bible study conducted by M r. Good. I n
this they try to put the meaning of that wonder book into their everyday school
life, anti we are sure that this study has been of inestimable value to every member of the club. They have a purpose: " To create, maintain, and extend tbroughout the school and community high standards of Christian character." and no
one can truthfully say that they have not at least partially, through the campaign
against cheating, and by backing the four C's, Clean Living. Clean Speech, Clean
Athletics, and Clean Scholarship; accomplished their purpose. B u t the task is
not finished. Every senior member of the I l i V leaves C. FI. S. with one sincere
wish: May the coming classes do their utmost to continue to create and especially
to maintain the highest Christian standards possible.

Although the Roosevelt Debating Society is still in its In i t has assumed
ant important place i n school affairs. I t was organized by the Debating Te a m o f
1920, w h o after being defeated in the debate w i t h St. Johns, resolved t o gain victory tho nigh defeat and accordingly made plans f o r organizing a society. such as
the one which seemed t o have played so important p a r t i n producing a team o f
tile marked ability which characterized the St. Johns team.
Aids ugh this club was organized primarily t o f u r t h e r an interest i n debating
and public speaking, it has gradually come to take on the air o f a social organization, putting on an annual banquet each year. and having various other meetings
of a social nature d u r i n g the year.
The club was organized with a membership o f about fifteen o f the high school
pupils. w h o were actively interested i n debate and public speaking. T h i s membership has more than doubled, u p t o the present time. T h e fact that the approbation o f the club must be obtained before a new member may be admitted lias
excluded several—some o f the members o f the chili feeling the present membership sufficient t o carry on successfully the w o r k o f the club. H o w e v e r . a great
part o f the r o l l is composed o f Seniors who w i l l be leaving in June, thus leaving
a vacancy f r o m which under-classnwn should benefit.
The club w i l l be glad t o welcome any w h o have proved themselves interested
in t h e promotion o f the principles f o r which i t stands.

This year, the Class of '21, feeling that Coldwater High School needed all
annual, voted to edit one and immediately began devising ways of earning the
necessary money. First they scheduled a benefit at Tibbitts Theater, but as the
class bad not yet awakened to the fact that they had some hard work before them,
it did not bring in much financial aid. N e x t the class prepared a Senior Fair,
which was well attended and at which they made $186.81. Then the class, with
the aid of the faculty and fellow students, put on a musical play entitled "Springtime," under the direction of the Joins Rogers Producing Co. T h i s was a great
success, not only in meriting the praise of the audience, but also by netting the
class $271.00. I n order to raise the remaining necessary funds it was necessary
to place a price of $1.00 on each copy of the Mirror. T h e Staff feels that even
at that price the students are getting a book for less than a third of the actual
cost.
The real work on the Mirror was not begun until nearly two weeks before it
went to press and so the various members of the Staff had a great deal to do in
a mighty short time. I n presenting this Mirror to you they hope that you will
enjoy it, and feel that the project is worth continuing.
The Editor wishes to take this opportunity to thank the other members of the
Staff. and all those who contributed to the book, for their co-operation and promptness in handing in their material.

��STUDENT GOVERNMENT
Several years ago. some time before the present graduating class ever saw the
inside o f the Assembly room, there was f o r m e d i n t h i s h i g h school all organization known as the Coldwater I ligh School S e l f Government Association. I t was
looked upon as a solution t o all problems. as a cure f o r all ailments. I t rail along
for several years, during which time it did little more than conduct the chapel programs a n d keep monitors i n t h e halls d u r i n g consultation period. T h e n as t h e
natural result o f idleness, i t gradually pined a w a y a n d i n t w o years passed o u t
of existence entirely and nobody seemed t o miss it.
Rut t h e Roosevelt Debating Society, viewing the present comlition o f the high
school, decided t o resurrect f r o m t h e dead t h i s organ i f self-government. Y o u
all k n o w their methods and the result o f their effort.
A convention o f students and f a c u l t y assembled t o construct a constitution.
The old constitution was used as a nucleus to start w i t h and the existing constitution was formed. T h e r e were i n this convention M a r g a r e t Milnes, N a p i e r A l d rich, A l b e r t Hishrtuan, Robert Rattray, M r. Symons, M r s . Randolph. Miss Moore.
and M i s s 'McConkey.
The constitution was adopted b y a vote o f the students and f a c u l t y. and t h e
Self Government Association became a n established fact. T h e executive c o m mittee consists o f Napier A l d r i c h , President : K a t h r y n Shattuck, Vi c e -President ;
Margaret I%lilnes, Secretary: Kenneth Olmstead, J . C . Spade, M a r y I loilgvnan,
Joe Aalbregtse. and Dorothy Phinney. T h e legislative committee consists-of these
same students and t h e f o l l o w i n g teachers: M r . Symons, M r s . Randolph, M i s s
Dean, M i s s Kempster, Miss Heimbach. Miss Weeks, M i s s Moore. and M i s s M c Conkey.
The council has passed several bills and resolutions, restored assembly r o o m
privileges and the like. A s yet they have had t o deal w i t h n o serious breach o f
discipline, but they are vested with authority and could act i f necessary.
So you see that the present system o f self-government fundamentally is n o t a

The event of the Senior Fair surpassed all expectations of success, by netting
the class $186.81. T h e main show, a farce entitled "The Quiet Family,- was
staged in the Assembly Room, and was received with bursts o f laughter and
enthusiastic applause. There were many other and varied attractions, namely:
The hot-dog stand, movies, home-made candies, fish-pond, cabaret, ice-cream
stand, athletic show, thirty-third degree and fortune telling.
The bathing beauty show was looked forward to eagerly by members of the
masculine sex, who were taken aback at the sight of five tiny goldfish innocently
swimming in their glass house.
The affair was well attended by students and prominent citizens of the locality, who reported an enjoyable evening.

Although there have been many entertaining and interesting chapel programs
given at the High School this year, the one put on by the Faculty was perhaps
the most highly enjoyed by the students. N o t often are we given the opportunity of seeing the members of that awe-inspiring body in the undignified positions which they occupied that Wednesday morning. W e saw one of them being
given a rather forceful ducking in a tub of hot water, which was really the bath
prepared for "poor sick Fido" by his adoring mistress, another one of our faculty. Ye t another was searching for a turkey which he was planning to baste—
with a stick of wood. I n the maid, who used perfectly terrible grammar, we
recognized another of the austere members of the Faculty. T h e three remaining
members of the cast seemed to he occupying more their natural state: the one,
who has trained so many football men, being a star himself, while the other two
were charming girls, waiting for the return of their brother and his guest, who
were expected home from college on a vacation.
The student body has always deemed the Faculty (or most of thetn) "good
sports," but we were doubly sure o f it after this performance, which they so
kindly put on for our entertainment.

�JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET
T H E evening of June third saw the Elks Temple attired in gayest decorations. Here the annual farewell banquet and dance was given, by the Juniors,
to the Seniors and Faculty. T h e banquet was served in the large dining
loom, which was very attractive with its bright decorations of class colors. T h e
dinner course consisted o f escalloped chicken, potatoes an gratin, peas in timbales, lemon sherbet, salted nuts, hot rolls and chocolate. F r u i t salad and salted
wafers comprised the salad course, while brick ice-cream and angel food cake
ended the delightful dinner.
After dinner the guests, and their hosts and hostesses, enjoyed an excellent
program of toasts. M i s s Margaret Milnes acted very efficiently as toast-mistress.
Churchill Bradley gave a toast to the Seniors, which was responded to by Miss
Phyllis Osborn in a very charming manner. A toast to the Faculty was given by
Miss Gertrude Friedrich, and was answered by Miss Irene Weeks. of that august
group. T h e conclusion of the program was the reading o f the Class Will, by
Ferris Purdy. Originality seemed to be the keynote of the toasts, and some exceedingly interesting stories, not generally known, were told of some of the most
severe members o f the Faculty and the most dignified of upper-classmen.
The ball room was very charmingly decorated, not the least of the decorations
being the dainty gowns of the pretty (lancers. These alone formed a very delightful picture. T h e long evening was spent in enthusiastic dancing. Those present
will always remember June third, nineteen hundred and twenty-one, as a redletter (lay.
We, the members of the Senior Class, extend to the Class of Twenty-Two
our sincere thanks and appreciation for the wonderful entertainment so delightfully given as the last social event of our career in C. H. S.

—Honor Letter

This year's foot ball team showed that C. H. S. has some real clean fighting
athletics. U n d e r the capable leadership o f Captain Milnes the season ended
with a record our foot ball fans can be proud of,

�9
The first game of the season was played at Union City. Having only five of
last year's men on the team, it was a little doubtful what the outcome would be.
After the first few minutes of play our boys began to smash through their opponents without any trouble, and continued to do so throughout the game. T h e
final score was C. H. S. 34—Union City 0. T h i s being the first game of the season, many mistakes were made, as was expected, but it put confidence into the
boys, which meant a successful season.
The second game of the season was a walk-away for the opponents in the
first half. T h e Coldwater boys could not forget the whirlwind of a team Kalamazoo had the year before. Every player went into the game with a frightened
look that spelled defeat. Kalamazoo took advantage of the situation, and walked
down the field time and again for a touchdown. Before the end of the first half,
the locals discovered that Kalamazoo was playing on its reputation, so put forth
every effort, and during the second half heist their opponents scoreless. I f the
Kalamazoo game had been a few weeks later, the local team would have stood a
good chance of winning.
The next game was played at Sturgis. I t looked at first as though C. H. S.
would win an easy victory, but in the second half Sturgis came back strong, and
worked pass after pass with success, gaining eight to ten yards each time. I f
our opponents could have worked the long pass game on our boys, they would
have accomplished more, but our boys were watching for this, so that accounts
for the success which Sturgis had in working short passes. O u r line was like a
stone wall throughout the entire game, so our opponents tried pass after pass.
The final score was 39 to 13 in favor of C. H. S.
The following game with Adrian was one of the best games of the season.
Our boys were tuned up to a high pitch, anxious to get revenge for the defeat
,uffereil by C. H. S. the year before. A few minutes before the game was called.
while the Adrian eleven was warming up, the spectators on the side lines were
ready to give the game to the visiting team. T h e Adrian eleven was fast and
heavy, but they did not have the "pep- or fight to defeat our aggregation. F r o m
the very start, the red and white team outclassed their opponents and sent them
home with a score not to be proud of, 26 to 0.
The next victim was Hudson. R a l p h Fox and Johnson were on the side
lines during this game with slight injuries. Hudson put up a game fight, but did
not stand any chance with our team. T h e final score was 21-14 in favor o f
Coldwater.
The succeeding game with Marshall was a fight from the start to the finish.
The game was not won by either team till the final whistle sounded. I t was up
to C. H. S. to defeat Marshall, to pay back the defeat handed our boys a year
'Cu

�9
ago. Neither train was able to score, being forced to punt a few minutes after
gaining possession of the ball. Finally the local boys made the first touchdown
by an on side kick. T h i s took the life out of the opponents. and they were unable
to get the pig skin near their goal line.
The following week the boys made a trip to Albion in cars, during a snow
storm. I t was cold, and our team was in no condition to play. Because Coach
Martin was delayed on the road with car trouble, the boys were worked up to a
nervous point, and played a lifeless game during the first half. I n the second
half they came back strong and scored a touchdown before the opponents realized it. Almost a deadlock ensued, but finally Albion succeeded in completing a
pass, and scored a touchdown. T h i s encouraged them t o greater efforts, and
another pass netted them a good gain, which resulted in a third touchdown made
by a line smash which brought the final score to 33-6.
The following day the team went to Ann Arbor to witness the Chicago-Michigan game. T h i s was made possible by the good spirit and efforts which the High
School put forth during the season. Every boy had a good time, and all felt repaid for the hard grind which they had been put through during the past weeks.
We have nothing more to say in regard to the Blissfield game, except that we
to not consider it a defeat.
The Thanksgiving game with Hillsdale was an easy victory. T h e game was
played with straight football from start to finish. Coldwater played a tie game
with Hillsdale last year, so it was necessary to show them up this year. T h e visiting team (lid not get in our danger zone at any period during the game. T h e
final score was 34-0. I t is expected next year that Hillsdale will be out to seek
revenge, but we hope to be prepared.
The high School this year loses eight players from the squad. W . Mines,
N. Aldrich. C. Loose, M. Johnson. L. Lucas, R. Fox, H. Fox, and II. Hodgman.
Captain Milnes has proved himself a capable leader. and was liked by all the
men of the squad. H e was strong on both the offensive and defensive side of the
game. B i l l will be greatly missed on next year's football field.
Nape Aldrich has been one of the best High School punters in this, part of
the state. H e out-punted every team this year, and it will be hard to find sonic
one to fill his place next year. I his speed in the back field netted our team mans'
king gains.
Bert Hodgman developed into a very good quarter-back this year. T h i s is
the hardest position on the team to fill, for if anything goes wrong it's the fault
of the quarter-back. I t generally takes two years to develop a good man for

�this place, but after the first few games Bert was holding down the job in a firstclass manner. T o fill his vacancy will he ime of the biggest problems to be solved
next year.
Tippy Loose was one of the best ends C. H. S. has had in a long time. Tippy
would rather catch passes than eat. Ti m e and again he would catch passes which
were almost out of reach, and go for a long gain or a touchdown. I t was very
seldom that an end run o r a line smash to Tippy's side would work, for he was
always on the job.
M. Johnson was a new addition to the team this year. H i s brilliant playing on
the line made many an opening and stopped many a fine smash. I n the game
with Adrian and Hillsdale, when playing at half-back he tore through the line for
many long gains. W e will miss his weight and speed next year.
L. Lucas started out the season at the position of full-hack as green as you
find them. H e worked hard and by the end of the season developed into a good
man for that job. H e was not fast, but when he hit the line, he hit hard. I f
Lucas were back next year, he would play a star game from the start.
R. Fox was the man of the hour. I f Ralph was not mixed up in every play,
things didn't go just right. W h e n an opponent got around to his end. Ralph
was there to give him a jolt that would make him lose his nerve. H e was one of
the most consistent players on the team. both offensively and defensively. I t will
be a difficult task to fill "Spider's- place.
11. Fox played in hard luck this season. O w i n g to injuries, he was forced to
stay out of the game most of the time. I t crippled the team, because Herb was
a hard-hitting back field man and always tried to do mitre than his share. W e
are sorry he cannot be back next year to make up for his hard luck this year.
John Gage, although not a member of the team, helped in every way to make
the team what it was. H e was out every evening and worked hard, knowing that
he could not play but still he wanted to do something to help the buys. H e has
not only helped in football, but i n all the school activities. W e think his place
can never be filled.
"Fat- Harley was elected for next year's Captain. H i s playing this year won
this position of honor, and he claims that although our losses are heavy this year,
C. H. S. will come back strong next year.
The following boys are left from this year: Hellenberg, Olmstead, Bradley,
Sanford, Jordan, Gruner, Sprague, Smith, Kaiser, Spade, Wright, Davis, Whitcomb. Mohrhardt, and Carpenter. They all played hard this season and will make
an awful scramble for a berth on the team next year.

Old C. II. S. had rather a slump in basket ball, having apparently expended
all her energies on a successful football team ; thus leaving herself exhausted for
basket ball.
Coach Martin started the year with a bunch of the greenest of green applicants, Aldrich being no exception, in spite of a year's experience. A f t e r a few
hard weeks this bunch gained some semblance of a team in the form of floor work,
hut remained absolute failures as to basket shooting.

�In this flulitloll they yos aged to /liaison, to return a sadder and wiser team.
The first half of the Hudson game was a walk-assay for Hudson. our fellows
being scared stiff. T h e next half they began to limber up. and Hudson was able
to ring up but one more point during this period than their opponents.
The following games were a series of defeats, leavened only by the defeat of
Hillsdale and Hudson: Hillsdale, a close hard fought battle of many thrills and
some beautiful floor work on the part of the locals, and I Nilson a game of sweet
revenge.
The number of defeats were dejecting, but every man stuck to his job, and
through much hard practice the team developed some very good floor work and
an impregnable defense. T h e team work was conceded by many local fans, as
svell as outside critics, to be equal if not superior to anything our fellows ran up
against. B u t in the matter of basket shooting a decided deficiency was shown
that could not be overcome by practice. A few weeks before the end of the season, however, "Tootle" Mohrhardt appeared in school and after a week or so of
diligent work on his( ?) part, became eligible. H e was a decided addition to the
team, for Mohrhardt was well known for his ability in dropping the hall through
the elusive hoop, but this year something seemed lacking, and in spite of the combined efforts of the two former team mates, Aldrich and Mohrhardt, it was decided. as the Marshall coach said, "That two men couldn't make a team."
Another streak o f hard luck was sustained in the early part o f the season
when Hellenberg fractured his arm during practice. H e was able to return toward the end of the season, but lacked the practice and confidence to be of much
use.
This year's team loses but two regulars, leaving a number o f experienced
men for next year, who will be captained by Mohrhardt. O u r heartiest good
wishes and support are given these fellows, and we hope they will clean up things
next year in a manner that will wipe out this year's record, and again put old
C. H. S. on the basket ball map.

��GIRLS' BASKET BALL
Each year finds added interest and brighter
prospects for a girls basket ball team in C. H. S.
This year. with all the players i f last year back.
the girls played eight games with outside teams.
against six games of the preceding sear. T h e
season, as a whole, was successful. Miss Heimback the coach, has shown the greatest interest
in the success and training of the team. Through
her efforts some o f the most important games
have been won. T h e schedule was as follows:

The Hillsdale game played on our own floor started the season off with a
Victory. O u r team had Hillsdale completely swamped. and at no time were they
able to catch up with the fast tactics of our girls. L u c k seemed to follow the
forwards, and time after time the ball found its wav into the basket. K l o c k refereed a good frame.

In this game the girls' team suffered its first defeat of the season. Unaccustomed to the severe method of refereeing, employed by the Sturgis referee, our
team was fouled again and again, and it can truly be said that Sturgis won on
fouls, for C. H. S. had more field throws than Sturgis. However, Sturgis had
superior team work.

C. H. S. had looked forward for a long while to the time when the girls could
play Tecumseh. T h i s town has always been noted for its excellent girls' team,
and it lived up to its reputation in this game. Marguerite Peppiat had her ankle
injured in this game and so was unable to finish. Rhea Johnson took her place
and played well, being especially good on interference. T h e trip up to Tecumseh
was long and tiresome, and the girls were pretty well tired out to play, but the
team fought to the last whistle. C . H. S. girls' team will have to win from T.
H. S. next'year.

The train pulled out of Coldwater with Captain Mary Hodgman and Marguerite Peppiat behind, giving the team all the moral support possible, but in
spite of the contrived efforts of all the members of the team, Three Rivers won
the game. T h e referee from Kalamazoo was especially fine. and gave the team
a square deal.

�When Sturgis came here, our girls' teals was out for revenge, and they played
that night as never before, to wipe out the former defeat. T h i s makes the third
tune within two years that C. H. S. has beaten Sturgis. T h e team work of C.
If. S., right from the start, had Sturgis going, and never once did they recover
after our team started rolling the ball into the basket. Klock was the referee.

This game was one of the roughest and hardest fought games of the season.
I Iandicapped with Helen Hodgman unable to play, C. H. S. suffered defeat at the
hands of Hillsdale. However, in justice to the splendid team work of our girls,
it must be mentioned that the referee was a little slack about allowing the Hillsdale players to over-guard. H . H. S. was out to revenge her former defeat, and
she was in part successful.

The girls' team bad hoped for a victory for the last game, but Three Rivers
was destined to win through their superior ability. T h e game was fair and
square, and although at times it looked like a victory for C. H. S., Three Rivers
cat tied home the laurels.
This season has been one of pleasure for those who took part in basket ball.
The girls earned the money for maroon sweaters with service strips. A t the
close of the season the C's were presented in chapel and each responded with a
speech. O n Friday, April 15, the annual Girls' Basket Ball Banquet was given.
This ended the season of 1921.

For several years one of the things C. H . S.
has lacked has been a track team. U n t i l a few

track—had only been playing possum, and a f ter a little shaking is as lively as ever.
The o n l y t h i n g l a c k i n g a t present f o r t h e
development o f a good team is the difficulty i n
finding a place t o practice. T h e f i r s t meets
were inter-class. F i e l d events were held A p r i l
15th at Wa t e r Wo r k s Park, and Tr a c k Events

so earlier. T h e Sophs won this, w i t h the Juniors a close second, a n d Seniors t h i r d . T h i s

Coach Martin has scheduled meets with Sturgis and Hillsdale, i t is understood. H e expects to send at least six men to the Kalamazoo Normal meet, and
also several to the State meet. W e owe a lot to the coach for developing FootBall and Basket-Ball teams out of green material, and for our coming Track team.
Without him C. H. S. would have suffered athletically, hut with a man of his type
at the head of things. we couldn't help turning out pretty successful teams. S o
here arc our best ,,vishes to Coach Martin, and to the future teams of old C. I I . S.

AT THE CLOSE OF THE CONTESTS
The prizes all save one were gone,
The judge held high the last:
T had been a day of rivalry.
And many a die been cast.
The youths beneath the good king's throne
Had played with all their might ;
His judgment now' awaited they.
And most held prizes bright.
But now the king held up his hand,
And spake for every ear:
"This last I give to one whose claim
I wish you all to hear."
"In every game this youth hath played
And smiling done his best;
And though he seldom finished first,
He cheered loud for the rest."
"And back again—again came he,
Each time the same good grace;
And now he stands with you below.
And still a smiling face."
"For pluck, for courage, for that smile,
For rising at each trip.
For all that's best in games. in life.
For true good sportsmanship- " I give this banner to yon youth.
And wish him all success;
His letters here are gilded bright;
Come forth, good C — H — S."

�ESSAY ON MAN
Man is what woman marries. H e is always with us, like the poor; a never
ceasing source o f trouble. E v e r since Father Adam blamed Mother Eve for
making him eat the apple, man has laid the faults of the entire universe at wallahs door.
Both man and woman sprang from apes, but woman sprang the farthest,
and man has been a jump behind ever since. Some one has said that man hasn't
horse sense, his ears being too long, but it has been noticed that he shows unusually good sense in picking out a wife. H e invariably chooses a woman. Odd, but
none the less true.
A cracked stove and tnan resemble one another quite strikingly. T h e y both
smoke, and they are both unpleasant to live with.
When man reaches the college stage he enters a period described by Miss
Maria Weatherby as "the smart Alec stage.- l i e affects gaudy shirts and loud
socks, makes remarks heavy with wisdom in English class, and wears open galoshes that Hap like elephant ears. l i e calls at dormitories, and drapes himself
with more or less artistic effects over piano or davenport, and languishes melting
glances at the gentler sex. T h e ancient cave man called his lady love " M y
Woman." Modern man says. " M y Chicken,- Or " M y Jane." M a n has made
surprising intellectual progress, has he not?
Man is a four-footed beast, who walks on his hind legs with his fore paws
in his pocket. H e excels at eating, playing card,,, spitting between his teeth,
and drinking when he can get it.—The Echoettr.

CLASS POEM.
0, w e r e off for the bounding billows.
Were out at last for the sea,
Where the winds and the waves make havoc,
And the hurricanes dash wild and free.
Where the peaceful land which we're leaving
Will be but a memory fair,
When the stars alone at the evening
Will shine with encouragement ther:
Not luck, but pluck."
But we have no fear for the storming;
We sail in a wonderful craft,
Built of the strongest of timbers,
Through all of four years' work and laugh.
And we're raising our flag at the mast high.
Can't you see how its emblems do shine!
Those good masters who superintended
The building, have taught us this line:
"Not luck, but pluck."
So come on, mates, our good ship is launching;
Before lies the blue of the sea;
We care not what storms overtake us,
Or how rough the voyage may be;
0, we'll fight with the spirit within us,
And we'll win because we're "nineteen,"
And because our flag waves in the sea breeze
With its colors of white and of green.
"Not luck, but pluck."
PHYLLIS HOLBROOK.

CLASS WILL.
We, the members of the Senior Class, do hereby bequeath:
1. T h e "joint" used by the Senior girls to our J u n i o r sisters, under the condition that they use it for the "proper purposes."
2. M i k e ' s and Sheapie's culinary obility t o such o f our Junior
brethren as may have the misfortune to have need of it.
I. B i l l Birch's Heterogeneous conglameration of gaudy collars and
ties to Shorty Holmes.
4. G e r t r u d e Higgins' forensic ability to Julie.
5. B i l l Clarke's fantastical track arraignment to Marshall Sanford.
6. T h e ocular code of Bessie and Mr. P. Fast to Hat and Pat.
7, M i k e ' s bunch of Keys to any J u n i o r who promises t o be able
to use them to such a good advantage in the future as he has in the past.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, w e have hereunto s e t o u r hand and

the war has stopped, we find ourselves turning with a sigh away from
this sort of literature and seeking some other k i n d t h a t i s o f more
interest to us now. W e are more interested n o w i n the articles and
books concerning the reconstruction of the world order, both material.
iy and spiritually.
We can trace the same change b y comparing t h e attitude o f the
schools before and during the war with the present attitude. B e f o r e
the war we began to see a strong tendency toward the technical specialization. T h e Gary vocational systems was talked o f everywhere and
people were universally praising the idea of this sort of training. N o w
we find a change taking place and a different motive is gradually acting
in our school system. M o r e social sciences a r e being studied along
with the practical things and we are t r y i n g t o develop the students in
mote than the one line. W e find, o f course, t h e greatest p a r t of the
work is along material lines, but at the same time we can see a nobler
motive in the present ideas. I n the grades duaing the past year there
has been a health crusade. N o w although t h i s was brought about
primarily from the fact that a large percentage o f men i n the army
were found to be defective physically because o f t h e neglect of some
simple thing, such as the care of the teeth, nevertheless it is being carried out for other reasons too. T h e child's aesthetic senses a r e developed by this training and he is taught to see the aesthetic or beautiful part of even the small things of life.
There is an unmistakable need for developing this ideal and spiritual tendency. W e must get out of the r u t that we have unconsciously
sinking into. W e mm,t not let the gains w e make in material life, in
mechanical or commecial achievements, satisfy u s i n themselves; we
mbst begin to appreciate the other factors which also play a part in our
success. W e perhaps would benefit ourselves i f we adopt an attitude
like Hamlet, that "there's nothing in the world, either good or bad, but
thinking makes it so," and begin looking for the joy and beauty of life.
I f we do this, we surely will be able t o give back lo the world better
service. T h e mind is really t h e most powerful force i n the world- history can do nothing other than develop as the social mind does.
And so as last year's class left C. 11. S. with an earnest determination to do its part toward ending the great struggle, that was going on,
let us go from C. H. S. with an equally earnest determination to do inir
part in the social, economical and spiritual reconstruction. L e t us go
our different ways, some to school, and some into the business or social
world, with a conscious desire t o serve t h e world in the best way we
can, and to give for the benefit of others the best that is in us.
HARRIETTE COCKS.

Class History
1915-16.
The freshmen bold as soid Shakespeare old.
Is 'The Tempest' on the wing."
Sept. 5 —Troubles! Tr o u b l e s ! Tr o u b l e s ! I don't l i k e H i g h
School one bit. P r i n c i p a l Betchel said in chapel that twenty-five freshmen were lost at the end of the first puriod. H e found t h e m floating
around the hall.
Sept. 15.—The Young People' Society gave u s a reception at the
Methodist church and the Seniors gave us one, too, on the sixteenth
and still everobody has so many mean things t o say about the freshmen. I don't think they're any different f r o m any one else. I have
even heard them say:
"The cows are in the pasture,
The sheep are on the grass.
But all the little silly geese
Are in the Freshmen Class."
Sept. 27—Tonight we had a class meeting and f o r president we
thought Harry Stansell would satisfy us. V i r g i n i a McConkey was
elected vice-president, and Edith Milnes, because of her rare ability as
penman, was elected secretary. ( W e knew w e would have so many
meetings that we would need a regular secretary.) A l i c e Calkins was
our choice for treasurer.
Our second and third class meetings were devoted chiefly t o de.
cide the weighty question of class colors. F o r some unknown reason
green and white were chosen. S o m e o f our mean upper class men
said that they thought those colors were very appropriate. I ' l l bet
that we won't be so mean when we get up in their places.
Even though we were just freshmen we had t o send three members to the Student Council. H e l e n Hungerford, Russell Waldron and
William Clarke were the ones we picked o u t —or maybe I had better
say "picked on."
This year the play, " M e r r y M i l k -maids", was given and we find
on the cast the names of several of our talented classmen.
Very little was done by us in athletics this year. B i l l B i r c h and
Harry Stewart both won "R's".
June 9—Today we get our cards ond finish our freshmen year with
the High school picnic at Coldwater Lake.
1916-17.
"The Sophomore is, with all his nerve galore.
Much Ado About Nothing."

Sept. 0—Such a batch of freshmen! E v e r y time you turn around
there are a half dozen freshmen asking you where t o find room " K " or
the assembly room.
Sept. 10—Again we find o u r selves confronted w i t h t h e task of
electing class officers. R u s s e l l Waldron was our choice for president,
Virginia McConkey, vice-president; Wynifred Pollock, secretary, and
Milo Ralston, treasurer
Oct. 6—This morning during Consultation Period we elected mem
bers for the Student Council. W e feel t h a t now having elected Milo
Ralston, we, as sophomores, have done our share in trying to preserve
peace and. order. J e a n e t t e P a l m e r a n d Harriette Cocks w e also
thought important requisites in attaining that end.
On election day for the first time equal suffrage was granted and
we all took advantage o f t h e opportunity and cast our first ballots.
Hughes was our choice for President.
Mar. 10—Well, Bill Birch again saved our bacon by getting in sixth
in the cross-country race. H u r r a h for our side! G u e s s that we can't
brag about anything else in athletics except the " C ' s " that Mike and
Herbie got in baseball.
May 7—Our school took the first place i n t h e State Declamatory
Contest held in Pontiac, Michigan, when Gertrude Higgins represented
us there.
June 10—Such a time as we have nad today at the High School picnic at Coldwater Lake,—but i t was more f u n anyway! Wo r m s , ugh!
I never saw so many before i n m y l i f e and hope I shall never see so
many again. T h e fun didn't begin until it got so dark that we couldn't
see the worms. W e built a camp fire and after we had finisded roasting our weenies and eating our picnic supper we played games and had
a war dance around the camp fire.
1917-18.
" ' A s You Like It' is a synonym that's fit
For the Juniors so they tell."
Sept. 7—Mr. Guy Fox, our new principal, gave us his first chapel
speech.
Sebt. 18—The first indication of hospitality was shown today when
Ruby Butcher entertained the Gynasium g i r l s a t h e r home. T h e
"weenie bat" was a decided success and t h e g i r l s are hoping some
other members may welcome them as Ruby did.
Sept. 24—A deuce of a storm today but we managed t o get some
good class officers, nevertheless. G u e s s t h e rain kept all the rotten
politicians home or else part of the machine rusted. T h e Honorable
Michael Ralston is now our president, Neil Angevine vice president,
Marjorie Westendarp secretary, and Harriette Cocks treasurer.

Nov. 2—We have j u s t started w o r k i n g o n o u r Junior Minstrel.
Mrs MiMes is directing us and we hope to be able to perform properly
by the end of the month! W e need t h e cash so b e sure and come.
Youl" get your money's worth' too—It's going to be SOME show.
Nov. 30—Junior Minstrels are all over. O f course we're not proud
and we hate t o mention ourselves—but t h a t show was t h e best yet!
And say ho, did we make some money? W e l l , I hope to tell you?. Took
Took in $225 and after we had paid all the expenses we had —guess I ' d
better not say how much or you'll be jealous,—but anyway i t looks as
though we'd entertain the Seniors R I G H T
Dec. 25—Of course, we all are trying to have the time of our young
lives today but we can't help but feel badly when we think of Mr. Fox
having to go to war.
Mar. 22—Juniors tied t h e Sophomores f o r second place i n the
cross-country. O u r "Old Reliable" Bill Birch came in seventh.
In the field events w e w o n second place. O u r friend " S h u e y "
made first place in the high jump and R. Hilton got second in shot-put.
April 1—Edith Milnes and t h e other members o f our negative debating team went to Schoolcraft for a debate and f r o m a l l accounts
they made the opposing team seem as foolish as the day would indicate.
We were sure glad to have them win, like that.
June 5—Feeds having been forbidden because of the war, we gave
a reception to our friends, the Seniors at St. Mark's Parish House. A
little tame in comparison to a spread, but really quite a success.
June 7—All dressed up in our Sunday's best we have been keeping the Seniors company at the Baccalaureate service a t the Presbyterian church Ibis evening, dreading he end o f the service because o f
the down-pour of rain taking place outside, whice might r u i n some of
our frills.
Jnne I I —We have all spent a half an hour hunting for our seats in
Tibbits Opera House and being finally located w e are wanting to take
a last glimpse of the Seniors as they appear i n t h e Commencement
exercises.

place, a high school picnic again loday at Coldwater Lake.

Sept. — A I1 our this year's freshmen seated i n a row painted in

ourselves occupying the seats of honor, on the north side o f the room.
Sept. 21—We have had another election today and w e are complimenting ourselves on having secured Roswell Hilton as president of
our class, Jeanette Palmer as vice president, M i l d r e d Lucas secretary

Sept. 27—All preparrtions have been completed and it is now eight
o'clock in the evening and all our freshmen friends are flocking to our
reception. W e have provided all sorts o f stunts f o r them to do, and
the refreshments are being supervised b y Ruby and Louise so we
know that we will have some mighty good eats.
Oct. 4— I t is four o'clock and a l l t h e Seniors have just returned
from room " B " where we have chosen Phyllis Holbrook, Ruby Butcher and Roswell Hilton as members of the Student Council.
Oct. 20—A new feature has been introduced into t h e regular
course of events. W e are having a vacation t h a t o u r fond teachers
were not planning on giving us. Everyboey is having " f l u " s o they
had to close school. D u r i n g this vacation I should be able to keep this
diary right for a while.
Nov. 15— Well, we are back at school again, and everything is going pretty well but the long hours surely are tedious. O n c e a week
we are going to have drumatic club meetings to liven up things a bit.
Violette Cushman is the president of the club.
Another club has decided t h a t the Seniors are the ones who can
accomplish things. T h e leader of the Hot Lunch Club is Ruby Butcher.
June 6—The Junior.Senior banquet was pulled off tonight and i t
surely was a success. Everybody had a peach o f a time, eats, dance,
music n' everything.
June 9—The Baccalaureate Service wos held last n i g h t a t the
Methodist church. R e v. Wright's address was very impressive and
we regret that so many o f us will not have the privilege of hearing
him as often i n t h e future as in the past and we know his advice
will be very helpful to us.
June 12—We are all at the height of excitement today. T h e kids
who are going to give the speeches have been spouting them to us so
much that I believe we all know them by heart now. T h e real speech
will be given by Rev. Lloyd Douglas o f A n n A r b o r, s o we are sure
going to hear one good speech.
Tomorrow we will have o u r picnic, b u t really tonight is the last
time our class will ever be together. I t makes a rather queer feeling
come over us when we have time t o think of i t , and already we begin
to think about the good times we have had i n the last four years in
C. H. S. and we almost wish we could do i t all over again.

Letter No. 2.
Chicago, Ill.
December 22, 1930

Dearest Folks:
Well, I am back in old Chicago again in the holiday whirl of this big
city. T h i s world surely is a small place. I n Rochester I met many of
my old friends who were there for treatment at the hospital, but in this
city it seems as if we have a regular Coldwater quarter.
My first thought on reaching the city was to hunt up Beryl Swain
at her apartment on Mt. Vernon Drive. I t was nearly eight o'clock, so
we just had time enough to go out for dinner before going to the theatre.
I t was a very agreeable surprise when I learned that there were to be
other members of our party, Jeanette Palmer and Marjorie Westendarp.
These three girls are the best of friends on account of their common interest. T h e y are costume designers for Lady Duff Gordon. O u r dinner was served in a most elegant manner and was certainly delicious.
But this was easily explained when we found that the head waiter,
Benjamin Lafene, sees that his Coldwater friends want for nothing.
After dinner we went to the theatre. T h e r e was to be aconcert hy
four noted artists who have just returned from an European tour. W e
had arrived too late to obtain a program, so you can imagine our suaprise
when the opening ensemble revealed to our astonished gaze our four old
friends, Dale Shumaker, with hls beloved flute, Harriette Cocks with
her violin, A l f r e d Rice lustily blowing his trombone, and Margaret
Loring presiding at the piano.
After the concert, we went to the stage entrance to greet these
friends of ours, but it was with much difficulty that we did so because
the manager, Mike Ralson, flatly refused to let us see his charges until
he recognized us, and then you may believe the nine of us had a fine chat
about all the old Coldwater bunch.
I must tell you some of the encounters our musical friends h a d
while they w e r e i n Europe. I n Paris, the American Amdassador,
William Clark, gave a ball f o r his former classmates. I t was a very
brilliant affair, and was marred only by the Ambassadors private secretary spraining her ankle. T h e y would not have thought so much of this
had they not learned that the secretary was Winnif red Pollockwho had
made the best record for speed on the typewriter of anyone who had
ever taken it in our school. S h e was soon resting easily because the
private physician, Roland Hilliar, a n d the private nurse, Gertrude
Higgins, had skillfully reduced the swelling in a very short time. A l l
in all this ball was one of the most brillant affairs they had ever attended.
On their concert tour through the reconstructed portion of France
they were admiring some beautiful landscape gardening when they saw
the young lady coming toward them who was responsible for the work.
They were naturally pleased to see it was Susie VauAken, who has become the foremost American gardener in this kind of work.
This is an awfully long, and l a m afraid, somewhat tiresomeletter,
so I will say good-night.
Yours with love,
JEAN.

Dearest ones a t llotric
Here I am in Detroit, and as usual this city is steaming. T h e r e was
not a thing to b r e a k t h e m o n t o n y u n t i l l a s t S u n d a y, w h e n t h e g r e a t
avangelist. Rev. R u s s e l l Wa l d r o n , blew in. H e sure i s a second B i l l y
Sunday. H e held his audience spell b o u n d w i t h h i s eloquence. B u t
the niusic led b y our old f r i e n d H e r b e r t B i r c h w a s also inspiring. I
was glad of having the opportunity to hear them because I have wanted
to see w h a t the boys could do, and t h e y certainly do wonderful t h i n g s .
When Rev. Wa l d r o n called f o r volunteers to " h i t the sawdust trail" what
was toy amazement to see H e l e n Lobdell, whom I supposed was a confirmed B a p t i s t , r u s h from h e r seat to the front. A f t e r the services, I
had a short visit with h e r. S h e told m e sha h a d d e c i d e d t o become a
missionary and join M a r g a r e t Sloman in the Fiji Islands.
This s u m m e r so f a r has not been v e r y i n t e r e s t i n g e x c e p t f o r one
state A g r i c u l t u r a l M e e t i n g which I attended at Lansing. T h e meeting
was of special interest to me because Everett Pfost, who is now the State
Agriculturalist, had charge o f t h e w o r k . H e t o o k m e a r o u n d t o t h e
different b u i l d i n g s a n d s h o w e d I n c w h e r e m y f r i e n d s w e r e located.
R u b y B u t c h e r was in charge o f a class o f club workers, and from w h a t
I hear,there are very splendid reports coming in from her clubs throuhtout Michigan. N e a r R u b y ' s class was a class of Domestic A r t students
demonstrating how to make simple garments. R o l e n e B o w e r, w h o i s
teaching Domestic A r t i n the D e t r o i t Central H i g h , h a d c h a r g e o f t h e
department. O h yes, I almost forgot to tell you t h a t C l y d e B o w s e r i s
one of the formost authorities in the state on how t o g e t r i d o f potato
bugs, so I w e n t out to see where he was demonstrating his process; b u t
it w a s all G r e e k to ine, so I d i d not linger very long. I g o t b a c k h e r e
to Detroit very tired and hot, b u t h a p p y a t seeing so m a n y f r i e n d s .
L a t e r — H e a v e n s ! S u c h an experience! A n d t o b e g i n a t t h e b e g i n n i n g it
happened thus. H e l e n H u n g e r f o r d came out after m e in h e r roadster
this afternoon, a f t e r she got through with her work at the Social Service
headquarters, and w e w e n t f o r a spin. E v e r y t h i n g w a s g o i n g lovely
including the maceine and o u r conversation, w h e n s u d d e n l y w e w e r e
bailed b y a m o s t formidable looking person on a motorcycle a n d w e r e
told t o follow h i m peaceably. W e were in for it, and we knew there was
no use denying it. I know myself, that the last t i m e I glanced a t t h e
speedometer i t was r e g i s t e r i n g 65 p e r. W e were hailed into court and
brought before the judge. W e expected a sentenced o f a b o u t n i n e t y
(lays and ninety dollars. I m a g i n e our relief t o h e a r t h e j u d g e l a u g h ,
and who should i t be but Vi r g i n i a McConkey! O f course, she had to do
something because of t h a t stubborn motor cop, so we got ninety c e n t s

The Seniors may be justly proud of the " C " men this year. T h e r e
are five men with more than one " C " and two new men with one " 0 ' .
The following is the record of each one of them:
WALDRON, RUSSELL, "Sheapy-, acting captain o f last year's
football, never found himself in athletics until last year. H e p u t u p a
good game at fullpack and also played well at center i n basket ball.
"Sheapy" has won two football "C's" and one basket ball "C".
RALSTON, M I L O , " M i k e " was a sufferer from hard luck in athletics, but in his Senior year finally stuck the season out and was one
of the standbys in the line. M i k e is the winner of three " C ' s " i n t h e
Senior class; although M. Hilton may come under that head later in the
year. M . A. C. secures " M i k e " next year.
BIRCH, HERBERT " R e d " slthough, leaving school to join the
Students Training Camp, returned i n time to win his basket ball "C".
"Red" was football captain this year and, although, only playing in two
games, was always on the job. " R e d " i s t h e o t h e r member of the
three " C " triumvirate.
HILTON, MAX, one of the Kinderhook boys, put up the star game
of any individual on the football team and ought to make a good man for
M. A. C. in a few years. M a x also won his basket ball " C " and copped
a baseball letter.

HILTON ROS WELL, Playing h a l f -back o n t h e t e a m l a s t f a l l .
"Russ" acquitted h i m s e l f i n good style and only lack of experience
prevented him from being a star. H e is fast and heavily built and has
a gridiran future before him.
PFOST, EVERETT, arriving i n school just before t h e close o f
foot ball, made a good showing and earned his " I t " . H e was also upon
the bate ball team and while playing a style all of his own, delivers the
goods.
BOWSER, CLYDE, would n o d o u b t have made the football team
last year, but preferred to devote his ability and time to baseball a n d
chances are very favorable that he will w i n his letter.

" D o Your Bit"

CLASS Y E L L
All aboard, gangway!
Get off the track, clear the way.
Oh Boy! O h Joy!
Open her up and let her rip!
Then with a boom and a bah,
And a hi haw, haw
Will punch our obstacles plumb into the maw
And kick our opponents till they surely are raw.
Were there with the ginger.
Were there with the steam.
Were there with the pep-who?

must, at the same t i m , rejoice with us that we have bean able t o accomplish as much as we have, while wishing for all greater attainments
in whatever field of activity we may select.
We ask you then, to be glad with us and for us, as w e enter upon
the program of the hour, tendering to you o u r m o s t profound assurance of our joy at having you with us; and in the warm inspiration o f
your presence, I am most sincere in telling you, i n t h e name o f m y
classmates, how truly glad we are that you are here. W e hope t h a t
you may all feel that it has been good to be with us this evening, and
may see in all that we do and say some evidence of your welcome, even
while realizing that, as a class, we cannot well ask you to "come again."

The History o f the Class o f 1918.
On September 3, 1914, we entered the training camp of Coldwater
High School. W e were some eighty strong on that day. W e were reviewed by General Johnson, commandant of the camp, a very fine appearing officer. W e were given four days leave in which to g e t ready
for training. W e reported on Tuesday, September 7th t o Lieutenant
General Bechtel, in charge o f t h e receiving station, situated i n t h e
High School auditorium. H e r e we were formed into a Freshman B r i gade and divided into squads under command o f faculty Captains, f o r
the purpose of being more easily trained in the rudiments of warfare.
We were permitted to organize as a social unit and elected Bill Foy
as president, Kathryn Woodward as vice president and Myrtle Allen as
secretary and treasurer.
For many days we were the subject of much fun for t h e seasoned
veterans of the camp. I t was some time before we learned thoroughly
the location of the barracks where we were supposed to go for instruction.
By careful execution of all orders, we were able t o g e t t h r u , and
finish our f i r s t year of training. O f the once large Brigade, however,
only about sixty remained. S o m e were n o t able to go farther because
of ill health or work and also because a f e w thought they had gained
sufficient knowledge.
So things went on and w e were instructed i n t h e rudiments of
learning necessary to soldiers in the army of education.
After nine months of intensive training, orders came f r o m headquarters that because of our efficient and diligent endeavor during the
past nine months, we were to be given a furlough. L o u d and joyous
were the cheers that echoed thru our ranks when this order came.
We returned to our training after our enjoyable furlough, n o t as
raw recruits but as trained and seasoned veterans.
Our organization was no longer known as t h e Freshman Brigade
but as the Sophomore Brigade. W e veterans were self appointed t o

instruct the Freshman Brigade in the rudiments o f M i l i t a r y training
much to our joy and their dislike.
As the days passed on we again organized into a social unit, choosing for our leader Bill Kibbe, for assistant leader, Neva Keel, as secretary, Marjorie Lockwood, and as treasurer, Bill Foy.
During the following months we took u p more intensive training
that was to fit us to tight the battles of life.
Near the end of our second nine months of training, orders came
to prepare for a track meet. W h e n that meet came off, our team held
second place, the team from the company o f Seniors taking f i r s t b y
one-half point. N o t long after this again came welcome orders to prepare for a furlough.
By the time we returned from this furlough, our regiment was reduced until it was now only the strength of a battalion.
Entering on the third year of our training as officers, w e started
off by electing the officers of our social unit.
Kathryn Woodward was our first assistant, Neva Keel our second
assistant, and again we choose Marjorie as secretary and Bill as treasurer.
Our training this year was much mote difficult than i n previous
years, the two subjects, Physics and English I I I being v e r y difficult
for certain persons.
While we were not spending our time on these two topics, we were
trying to raise a fund sufficient in amount to furnish a farewell feed for
the departing company of Seniors. B y a Junior F a i r and a benefit
this amount was finally raised.
During this time a call had come for a cross c iuntry team and also
a track team. O u r noble team won first in both events. T h e n came
the all important feed for the Seniors. A l l who were in attendance admitted it to be a wonderful event, even the haughty Seniors themselves
admitted that it was incomparable.
Not many days before this, there came dispatches saying that our
country had declared war o n German Militarism. W i t h these dispatches came a call for volunteers. T o this call t h e following s i x o f
our fellow class men responded: C h a r l e s Shannon, Bernard Corson,
Ralph Barrack, Percell Overly, Rodney Parker and Webb A u l t . N o t
long after this for the third and last time we were given a furlough.
Again our number was reduced and lessened for many reasons so
that when we came back only a company was left of our one proud and
powerful Fresh man Brigade.
For the last time officers were chosen to lead us thru the struggle
of another year. Z e k e Osborn was chosen as president, Clyde L i g h t
as vice president and for the third time we chose Marjorie and Bill.
No sooner had we elected officers than we began to consider various plans for raising money to pay our class expenses. T h i s was done
by having a fair and a play.

Soon came the call for a debating team. F o u r out o f the five members were Seniors.
When the cross country and track meet came off the Seniors easily won f i r s t i n both events. N e a r t h e end of May our friends, the
Juniors, gave us a farewell banquet.
On the following Sunday night, Rev. Donald MacCluer delivered
the baccalaureate sermon. O n Wednesday night we answered t o the
last roll call and received our commissions in the A r m y of Life.
GEORGE GAGE,
STARR FARWELL.

The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1918.

seal this sixteenth day of May in the year of o u r Lord, one thousand
nine hundred and eighteen.

she must have met a Prince or dude or some kind o f h i g h b r o w while
at Smith. S u c h is life.
That war was sure some exciting, but I wouldn't have missed i t
for anything. B a c k here i n Coldwater reminds m e o f '18 when I
graduated. I ' v e heard quite a little about the different members of the
class. A f t e r I had been "Over There" about t w o years, I h a d m y
first trouble. G o t hit in the shoulder and while I was in the base hos
pital who should come along but Myrtie Ralston. B e l i e v e m e I was
some surprised. I remembered she could hardly wait to graduate so
she could go in training to become a nurse. I only spoke w i t h h e r a
short time. S h e said that Starr Farwell was at the head o f t h e Battalion of Death in Russia. P r o b a b l y his Latin helped him to learn the
new languages in the old country. I sure had a hard time with French.
'Twas all I could do to get thru first year Latin in High School so that
wouldn't help me much i n French. O u r old friend " O c t y " was r u n ning a transport back and forth across the great pond. G o s s i e in the
navy had been i n love about f o r t y times w i t h R e d Cross nurses
bound for the front.
Just t h a t day M y r t l e had had a letter from Neva IC. S h e and
"Doc" were located happily on a farm in Alabama. F u n n y how people
scatter. I t seems that "Doc" was exempted 'cause he was a farmer.
October 2. M e t Myrtle Allen down town, and w e g o t t o talking
the class of '18. S h e has not changed in a n y way except her name.
She said that Klock had been doing government work which kept him
in this country. I believe he is located near Baltimore. C o u r s e , I
asked her where Hellen S. was. S h e said she'd been t o Vassar and
had graduated with honors. A t present she is visiting Russell in Baltimore. M a r j o r i e Lockwood and Bill Kibbe still were going together.
She is a senator now and he the President's chief adviser. N i c e they're
located in the same city. A l l of Marjorie's load of books s h e used t o
carry home from school were some help after all. A l b e r t a H i l t o n i s
teaching in Angola. R o s e Reed and Jesse Noel a r e living on a farm
near what used to be Reed's Corners. M i l d r e d Locke is in a show entitled "Getting Together." M e r l y n n Smiley has become a professor
of history in a university. " J i m ' . Hodgman has become a traveling
minister taking the place in Branch County that A r t h u r Downey used
to hold.

drawing government posters, etc ,and has become widely known over
the United States. T h o m a s Stafford is f i r s t lieutenant. H e has become known for his ability in giving orders. E d w i n Mosher is stenographer in Victor Humphrey's office. " Z e k e " Osborn has been i n the
aeroplane corps in France. T h e y say he is so infatuated with a French
damsel that lie never wants to come home. K a t h r y n Howard is a Mis.

sionary in Australia L o u i s e Whitman is located with her husband i n
California. C l y d e Light has been in the secret service department and
has become quite efficient in rounding up German spies.
Harold Draper has taken over the running of his father's farm and
made heaps of money. I t seems that he has become so overwhelmed
with dollars that he gives them away by the handful. I remember 'I'.
E. J. used to say in history class that a farmer always made money
during a war. T o o bad I didn't stay at home on the farm!
I learned that Ruth Day had been living i n Kinderhook a l l t h i s
time. I think she has been running the village store while her husband went to war. C o o k i e on his farm north of the city has invented
a wonderful piece of machinery. I t is used in stump clearing H e is
now manufacturing them in Chicago. I believe that I will stop on m y
way out west and see him. O h yes, Kacy i s pianist f o r the Chicago
Symphony Orchestra. K a t h r y n Rapp and Beneita Ruthrauff are a t
the head of a school for French orphans in the south. P a u l Barber i s

Hodgman is going to run for Governor next year.
Well, I guess I had better put up my pen for tonite and go t o bed

But after all o u r work first came,
Our duty to teach the Freshies tame,
The latter of which we gained our fame,
Seniors of C. H. S.
So here's goodbye from class eighteen,
Whose hearts to do in the world are aching,
We are of C. H. S.
Then friends our motto is not all wit,
Then Freshman it is not to sit,
But it is help get the Kaiser, 'Do your bit.'

Athletics.
Senior Weerere of C'e.
No class of late years has been honored more in an athletic sense
than the class of 1918. I n all branches of sport the class has been ably
represented and upon several occasions the strength of t h e different
teams depended upon these boys who are going to leave C. H . S . t h i s
year.
Not for some time to come, perhaps at least until the war has been
won, will Coldwater High School boast of "C" men who have completed
their work, both academic and athletic, so well and with so much vim
as the " C " men of 1918.
In football, the major sport of C. H . S . t h e y have Goss, Crull,
Klock, Hodgman, Foy, McConkey and Gage:
In baseball, Klock, Goss, Foy and Crull.
In basketball, Foy, Klock, Crull, Goss, Osborn and Hodgman.
The track work, Foy, Crull and Osborn.
They have won the inter-class meet the last t w o years b y over.
whelming scores due to the efforts of these same eight men.

Individually these men represent a clean living, ambitious set o f
athletes and whether they leave to fight the "hun" or to fight life's bat.
this, the work they have had along these lines will aid them i n no little
way for the " B i g Fight."
Clarence "Cupid" Goss is about t h e most consistent of this group
of boys, ably competing his four years in basketball, four years in football, and one year in baseball. H e has showed a fineness and fitness
in each sport that would be hard t o be surpassed. C r e d i t must be
given him for his splendid control of the men under him while he was
captain of certain teams.
Russell Klock, who has really made his athletic name i n football,
has also won his basketball and baseball " C " and is rather a versatile
athlete and if he carried on h i s education, should make a name f o r
himself. I n football "Russ" is one of the most ideal ends a t blocking
and tackling it was ever my pleasure to see.
"Octy" Howard Crull, captain of last year's football team and with
Foy the only wearer of four "C's" now in school has performed w e l l
upon all four teams. H e has the "personality" t h a t inspires the opponents with deadly fear and did much to cause many well started end
runs to fail. " O c t y " also made a record o f over f o r t y feet w i t h t h e
shot in track work.
Foy, William " B i l l " the real veteran of Coldwater's athletic teams
is a strong man along the lines of basketball and football altho he won
his letters in the other branches, it was really in the first two where he
was at his best.
Osborn, Kenneth "Zeke", alga) "Zeke" won his basketball letter,
it was in track work where he became state wide famous. Z e k e has
won two track "C's" and bids fair to follow the footsteps of " H e c k " if
he follows up his chance. H i s race a t Grand Rapids o f eight miles
was a wonderful thing when we consider he had n o : trained f o r t h e
event. " Z e k e " is one example of clean living and regular training and
what can be done by systematic work.
Hodgman, James "Jim". A l t h o rather late i n getting started,
"Jim" was good enough to make up for his lost time when he d i d arrive. H e was an ideal plunging fullback and did much to helpour team
of 1918 make its excellent record.
McConkey, Lowell, "Mac" did not do much i n athletic lines u n t i l
his Senior year but put in one year on the Reserves and then put in a
year at end on the regulars and played a consistent game throughout.
Gage, George, "Jawn" is left to the last as an example of plugging
perseverance and what it will eventually do. H e played three years on
the Reserves and in his Senior year won h i s coveted " C . " " J a w n "
was t h e stumbling block of many an aspiring football s t a r by their
connection with some part of his anatomy. H e i s the type of man
Who invariably makes good. " N e v e r say q u i t . "

Graduation Gilt..
Oh, what shall we give them?
I f you are in doubt;
Perhaps these suggestions,
Will help you out
For busy Tom Stafford,
That hard-working boy,
One well-411ed "Reporter"
Might be quite a joy.
An Encyclopedia
To Bill Kibbe we'll give.
We know he will use it
As long as he lives.
A b r i g h t colored ribbon
To tie up Ruth's curls,
And ear-rings for Amy
Of rubies or pearls.
A whole set of Latin books,
All bound in leather
Would make Starr's heart be
As light as a feather.
A whole bunch of dances,
All along in a row,
Would make Klock and Gossie
Quite happy, we know.
There's our friend " O c t y, "
We'll have to think deep.
About the best thing I know
Is just to let him sleep.
Bill, our Jackie, already has
A watch on his wrist.
So I guess we'll just have to
Strike him off from the list.
Go get some more trophies,
And give them to Zeke,
Because he hasn't won enough
In every state meet.
And now my pen and ink.
Is laid upon the shelf.
I f you don't like these gifts,
Just think of some yourself.

Class Poem.
Do Your Bit.
Into the path of life we start,
True to our colors blue and gold,
Into the life of the world we dart
On like soldiers brave and bold,
"Each to do his b i t . "
Many a happy day we've spent,
Mingled with pleasure and with work,
Our teachers helping hands have lent
Seeing that never a one did shirk,
"But that each should do his bit."
Our soldier and sailor boys so brave
With homes and lives at stake,
Have gone to fight on land or wave
Offering their lives for democracy's sake,
"Each one doing his bit."
And nothing will ever intervene
To change the spirit of C. H. S.,
Or mar the hopes of dear eighteen
I f each and every one confess
"That each most do his b i t . "

Junior-Senior Entertainment.
A social evening was held May 31st for the departing Seniors b y
their friends, the Juniors. T h i s was held at St. Mark's Parish House
at eight o'clock. A l l invited were asked to come dressed to character.
ize some song. T h i s novel idea caused a great deal o f fun. P r i z e s
were awarded to the girl and boy most attractively costumed. A n o t h e r
part of the evening's program was a colored scene. C h a r a c t e r i s t i c
southern songs and dances were given. D a n c i n g and cards furnished
amusement for the rest of the evening. D e l i g h t f u l refreshments were
served to the enjoyment of all. T h e Juniors surely " d i d their bit" i n
successfully entertaining the Seniors of '18.

Chorus.
The Senior play after much effort on the part of the Director, Mrs.
Milnes, and the pianist, Mrs. Thompkins, proved a great success. T h e
class of '18 certainly appreciates their untiring effort and faithfulness
in making it a success.
The play itself was very "pat." T h e plot was laid in Paris during
the period of war. T h e time of the leaving of the recruits for the front
and their return to their homes expired during the two acts.
The scenes and costumes were very attractive. R e g u l a r uniforms
were worn by the soldiers and the village maidens were characteris.
tically dressed in fancy peasant costumes. T h e music was martial
and catchy. T h e characters were well suited to their parts and carried them out finely.
The Senior class certainly is to be congratulated on the outcome of
its play.

Volume 3.

COLDWATER, MICHIGAN, MAY 1915 N u m b e r 8.

Dedication o f Mirror to C. H. S.
To the High School we are leaving now
We wish to leave a token.
So that when after years are passed
Our friendships won't be broken.
Herein you'll find illustrious deeds
Of Seniors great and small;
We're sure you'll want to copy them,
For they'll help you one and all.
We've put our teachers' records here,
Although their deeds are few.
We think that they deserve a place,
For they've helped us—maybe—too.
Stories, poems and the like
We've put in here and there,
To prove we have some talent
I f we don't show it everywhere.
And one thing else we wish to add
We haven't said before,—
That in all four years in C. H. S.
We've had good times galore.
So now dear underclassmates,
We dedicate this Mirror,
Although it is a trifle now,
Sometime it may be dearer.

Salutatorp.
To the Friends of Our Class:
I t is our last duty and pleasure as members of the Coldwater High
School to welcome you here tonight. W e are glad t o recognize and we
appreciate the motives which influenced you in coming here. T h i s is
the climax of four years of both work and pleasure and, while we have
enjoyed many good times together, we feel that we have had many
valuable experiences that have, in a measure, prepared us f o r the future. W e realize now, as we never have before, the value and importance of a High School education.
The advantages t o be derived from f o u r years spent i n a High
School are many, and t h e y are familiar to almost everyone. T h i s is an
age of specialization, and the High School student is enabled to choose
the line o f work that he wishes t o follow after he graduates. T h e n
through the school associations he learns his relationship to his fellow
students, so that he is better fitted f o r the social life of a community.
While we have been pursuing our course we have received help and
encouragement from those who are interested i n the school, especially
from the members of the faculty. O u r teachers have not only taught
us the lessons in the textbooks, but they have given us a high standard
of ideals and morals. W e wish to thank these friends for all the assist.
once we have received from them.
We have also to thank the school board f o r the provision they have
made f o r the high grade instruction that has been offered us I t is
through their efforts t h a t our High School i s one of the best in the
state, and we are glad to express our appreciation to them.
But we feel that we should give the greatest thanks to the parents
who have given us these opportunities. I t is sometimes difficult f o r
parents to send their boys and girls to school, and we are glad that the
fathers and mothers of today realize the value of a good eduacation and

the new High School of Coldwater is gorgeously decorated with flow.
era, palms, brown and gqId festoons, and banners of C. H. 8 '15.
In the center of the hall are the tables beautifully decorated and
laid ready f o r the feast. A t one end of the hall i s the orc..estra ready
to receive the guest of honor with a grand flourish of music. Y o u ask
why all this splendor and anxious expectation—why haven't you heard?
The class of 1915 are celebrating their twentieth anniversary in honor
of their old classmate, Roscoe Emerson Stewart, who was i n the last
election, elected President of the U. S.
At the door you meet t e reception committee composed o f Bessie
Holway, Nina Pelton, Frank Tuttle and Harold Parker. I t is to these
few members of the class that we owe our thanks f o r such a splendid
event. S i n c e they still remained in the city, they took i t upon them•
selves to look up the whereabouts of the other members of the class and
send out the invitations.
We find that Frank Tuttle ,s ,,ow in partnership with his father in
the furniture business. A l t h o u g h he is a prominent business unin, he
occasionally rinds time to write poems f o r magazines and local papers
which his aesthetic character is beautifully portrayed B e s s i e Hol way
is still at home, keeping house f o r her father, and running opposition
to the city bakery in baking bread H a r o l d Parker ha, taken up the
trade of professional dyeing in the dye house on South Monroe st rect.
Nina Pelton is also at home, taking care of her parents in their old age
The other members of the class are now beginning to arrive and
the committee i s greeting t h e m one a f t e r another. F i r s t we see
Marian H a r r i s entering, who says she i s now teaching Domestic
Science in Union City. T h e n Merle Bennett, who is now manager or
the White City farm, and h i s piosperous little housewife, "Leelie,"
(Lucile Clizbe). T h e n Charlotte Hawes, who is teaching physical train
ing i n Alaska, with Gertrude Gripnian, who became a trained nurse,
and then married a congressman and lives in Washington T h e ITI,Wie
star, Charles Clarke (president of the class), who is now playing the
part of John Bunny, was the next to arrive. H e was followed by Fern
AcMoody, who has just signed a contract to teach a country school for
boys. P r e s e n t l y Rosamond Pollock, now an easterner living in Massa
chusetts, joined the m e r r y company. T h e n comes Reo Ryder, new
manager of Mr. Cowell's office. N e x t is Capt. Arnold Hellenberg, who

guet. N o r m a Wirley, who is tea_hing kindergarten in the south, and
Jennie Weage, who spends her leisure moments driving that rattling
good car of Deabler's,'were the next to present themselves. F o l l o w i n g
these came Nina Brown, who is keeping house for a nice looking young
man whom she captured early in her career. N e x t to come was the
star actress of the U. S., Marjorie Curless, A f t e r her we sees ministerial looking man who turns out to be Clarence Grove, who is home
from his missionary duties in Turkey f o r a short visit. L u c i l e Bansford came next—she is now teaching in a newly founded institute in the
west. Immediately behind her is Zella Waldron, who now occupies the
position (in about the same manner) formerly held by Nellie Driggs.
The next arrival is Ruth Zeller, who is a successful bookkeeper f o r a
large firm in Chicago.
The committee next greets Carlton Perry, the honored postmaster
of Girard. T h e next to pass the committee and disappear in the confusion of the fast gathering crowd i s Dorathea Cook, who gives lessons
in elocution. W e know the person with the long and easy stride to be
Malvern Blackman, the latest addition to Michigan's body of surveyors.
The next is Esther Youse, the naturalist. W e know the next, by his
stately bearing, to be Irving Stansell, the man who trims the people in
the noble fashion of a legal adv'sor. W e also recognize the next to be
Glee Hart, who is now following the career of a public stenographer.
The next is C. L Wright, who i s now agent f o r the Cheviolet car and
who still persues his hobby of frivolous driving. M a r y Preston, who
is a Red Cross nurse, and Julia Soldatt now working in a milliners'
establishment i n Detroit. T h e next t o arrive, Howard Snyder and
Charlie Barnard are the next to be met by the committee. H o w a r d
owns and runs a large rabbit and guinea pig farm, while we might find
Charlie just before meal time in the kitchen of a large hotel in Alpena
attending his duties as chef. A m o n g the last to come was Harriette
Lind, but, owing to her distance from Coldwater, she is excusable. B y
the way, Harriette lives peaceably on a farm near Fremont. T h e next
is Owen Clinetelter, as can be told by his smile. H e has just arrived
from his farm in the near vicinity. T h e last but not the least b y any
means is Wm. Walker, commonly known as "Bill". " H i l l " is here and
speaking for himself. V e r y soon after the last arrived, the guests
gather around the table with merry chatter and do ample justice to the
elegant feed. A f t e r the feast, the company is favored by a toast given
by Senator Ruth Byers. F o l l o w i n g this, the old class is highly enter
tamed with a vocal solo b y Frances Wimer, who is now doing lyceum
work. T h e guests are much surprised to see Roland Shenitield go to
the piano to play her accompaniment, but he proves that he has sufficiently mastered the a r t as to b e perfectly capable of accompanying
Frances in her life work.

"DREAMS."
I'd not give room for an emperor--I'd hold my road for a king.
To the Triple Crown I'd not bend down—
But this is a different thing!
I'd not fight with the Powers of A i r —
Sentries pass him through!
Drawbridge let fall—His the Lord of us all—
The dreamer whose dream came true.
Why does Kipling so exalt the person whose dreams come true? I s
he such a rare individual that he stands above all others? I t would
seem that he is. H e is the king of the world. W h y ? Because he has
had the satisfaction of seeing his most cherished hope gone from a
mere dream, a misty vision, into a reality that anyone may recognize.
We all have our dreams today, and dreams have always held their
place in the heart of every person regardless of the vogue of materia
things in the outside world. J o a n of A r c dreamed of an unconquered

France as she sat on the hillside, unmindful of her scattered flock; Na.
poleon, while still a boy, saw himself as the ruler of Europe, seated on
a golden throne and surrounded b y a magnificent court; Bismark
dreamed of a united Germany; Lincoln dreamed o f an emancipated
race; and Edison dreamed of hearing the world's talent long after that
talent was gone.
But all of these people did more than to dream. A l o n g with their
dreams they possessed h i g h ideals, those high determinations, the
steps by which they made their dreams come true. T h e s e they never
lost sight of o r laid down, however difficult it might be to keep them,
for without these ideals their dreams might never have come true.
Our ideals are the framework of our accomplishments, and the rosy day
dreams are the thread w i t h which we weave our patterns. W e may
not attain our hearts desire if we neglect one of the ideals. W e constantly change the designs o f our dreams as we grow older, but the
same threads are always there. W e even change our ideals, yet when
the pattern is complete and we have attained our highest desire, we
readily see familiar threads of our childish dreams of long ago.
A small boy with a white, delicate face once stood looking at beautiful Lake Geneva and the mountains around it. H i s little beauty lasing soul longed to put the picture on a canvas just as he saw it, but he
was too poor to buy a brush and paints, so he drew with a stick in the
sand, promising himself each day as he did so that sometime he should
put it on a real canvas in its true colors.
Years later as he sat despondent inn garret in the Latin quarter of
Paris, the beauty of the Alpine scene came before him; he seized his
brush and palette and set to work to paint it, his heart growing lighter
as he worked until a little tune bubbled out of his heart. A f t e r days
of hard work and privation, the picture was completed, and he secured
permission to hang it in a gallery. T h e world looked at his picture and
at once proclaimed him a master artist. B u t where the world only saw
a beautiful picture, he saw a cherished dream comae true and his heart
was glad that it had happened even better than his dreams because he
was true to his task and to his ideals.
Like the master artist if we would gain our goal, we must be willing to endure hardship and privation. W e should not regard the years
as long through which we pass to make true our dreams, for time has
no place in dreams. W e may not overlook the little things that offer
us advances toward our aspirations, for as someone has aptly said, "It's
the little things in life that count." Whatever we undertake must be
well done and then we are neaer the realization of our dreams. F o r :

Junior-Senior Chapel
Friday morning, May 25, the Seniors and faculty were very pleasantly surprised by a chapel program prepared by the Juniors.
First, Mr. Cowell gave a nice little talk as a farewell to the Seniors
and then the Seniors gave a few yells.
About this time they saw the Juniors moving toward the piano, and
shortly the strains of t h e following song to the tune of " I t ' s a Long,
Long Way to Tipperary".
Up to Mr. Percy went the Senior class one day,
There wasn't hardly anyone that knew just what to say,
Because they were all Freshmen
And they toil and cut the air,
Till Bechtel told them that it couldn't do, and was not fair.
CHORUS:
I t s a long way to plow thru High School,
It's a hard hill to climb,
It's a long way to a diploma,
To the honor of the time,
Farewell upper classman,
You have stood it well.
It's a sad, glad way that's why you tarry,
But our heart's right there.
Now they were all Sophomores and they knew a little more,
Began to know a few thing, but they didn't know what for.
They began to save their pennies for a spicy little spread,
They gave to those darn Seniors who have now gone on ahead.
Coo.

Now we called them Juniors and they thought they knew a lot.
They had to earn more money, but they knew not how or what,
But they finally got the sheckels and then they had the feed,
But this year they are Seniors, and have not a thing to heed.
CHO.
Then the following yell for the Seniors was given:
Clarke, Byers, Waldron, Hawes, Yes
They deserve lots of applause,
AcMoody, Clizbe, Corless, Cook.
Together could make up a book
Gripman, Harris, Hart, Holway,
They do nothing but pass the time away,
Lind, Pollock, Preston, Ryder,
Ransford, Soldatt, Vogt, Snyder
Waldron, Weage, Wimer, Wirley,
In this piece they come not early,
Youse, Zellar, Pelton, Brown,
Most of these walk up and down,
Barnard, Bennett, Blackman, Clinefelter,
Whose typewriter keys go hilter.skilter,
Parker, Perry, Shenie, Stansell,
These the Seniors could not cancel,
Stewart, Tuttle, Wright, Grove,
Hellenberg, Rah ! R a h ! R a h Jove;
The Seniors then answered w i t h a few more yells, and shoved
how much they appreciated the efforts of the Juniors. T h e beauty of
the assembly was also greatly increased by three cartoons of members
of the Senior class, Roscoe Stewart as a singer, Gertrude Gripman as a
kindergarten teacher, and Irving Stansell as a lawyer.

Senior Map Breakfast.
Perhaps one of the most pleasant school functions of the year was
the May breakfast, which was served b y members of the Senior class
at the Baptist church Tuesday morning, May 5th. T h e affair was arranged for the purpose of raising funds with which to defray our corn•
rnencement expenses.
The morning was damp and rainy, but this condition of affairs did
not hinder those who had charge of the meal from being at the church
at an early hour. A t 6 o'clock the serving began and lasted from then
until 8:30. I t was quite a novel idea to take the f i r s t meal o f the day
away from home, and so about 250 people availed themselves of the op.
portunity. E v e r y b o d y seemed well repaid f o r their efforts, f o r the
splendid menu, together w i t h the attractive appearance of the tables,

But their father, having recently read lucid articles written by Inmate 657 of Kalamazoo, on the proper way to raise children, and having
pondered upon the fact that his offspring were of age, decided not to be
severe with them. H e spoke thusly: " N o w my sons, it is evident that
you, each one separately, are in love with f a i r Fatima, and t o prevent
sudden murder among you, I have h i t upon a scheme. L i s t e n while I
elucidate. H e may w i n her who brings back the most marvelously,
magnificently cute contraption i n s year and a day. G o hence!"
So Galliaest, Omnisdivisa, Inpartestres packed their trunks, bags,
tennis rackets, bats, and other essentials. T h e y set out, traveling to.
gether until they came t o the place where all roads meet. Galliaest
made straight for the big city; Omnisdivisa followed a vanishing dam.
sel into a dressmaking shop; while Inpartestres—our hero—strolled
down an alluring by-path.
Many were the adventures each had to relate when he met with his
brothers in a year and a day. Galliaest proudly exhibited the miraculous '.wishing carpet," seated upon which one could be transported to
any desired location in a twinkling o f the eye. O f course this was
nothing else than a Ford. Divisaest had acquired a mysterious mirror,
probably the " M i r r o r of Fashion." F o r it is quite possible that such
things may be found i n select society. B u t Inpartestres had, a truly
wonderful gift. H e hoped i t would be the "apple of her eye". N o w
any deaf mute would spy that it was a diamond ring.
Together they sought the object of their affections who was again
doing her d u t y dutifully. B u t why continue? T h e sparkle took her
eye and the wedding bells rang merrily as is the custom of marriage
bells. T h e bride wore a charming gown o f white satin and her veil
was an heirloom of the grocerman's family. T o speak plainly, an old
lace curtain. T h e groom wore conventional black. A n d —they all lived
happily ever afterwards, especially Divisaest and Inpartestres.

Our Faculty.
It's mighty hard to be convinced
Our time has come at last,
To face the world, and now we look
With pleasure on our past.
And now we see these by-gone years,- They all had special features;
We see our progress came about
By contact with our teachers.
We have a dandy lot of them,
The best beneath the sun,
And so I'll write a little verse
About them, one by one.

Now Graham Barker is the man
Who coaches all our teams;
And when we've won a game of ball,
His yearned face fairly beams.
And Mrs. Randolph, don't forget,—
We all will hate to leave her,
Although in Tr i g or Algebra,
We probably did peeve her.
Miss Proctor run the music, and
She's fine; we always knew so;
I f she continues very long.
She'll soon out class Caruso.
Miss Faith has charge of all the girls,
To make them strong and healthy.
We hear she's to be married, and
We hope her fellow's wealthy.
And last but truly not the least,

She never makes a blunder.
And now I ' l l close and go to work,
And study stuff I hate,
But here is to our faculty,
The best bunch in the state.

The Ambition of the Senior.
A certain Senior in the class of 1915 wished t o make himself famous H e wished t o invent some new method o f cleaning dishes,
other than b y washing them w i t h soap and water. H e had also labored t o rind some way of making trees grow upside down. B u t "the
schemes o f mice and men gang a f t agley," and s o was i t with t h e
schemes of this illustrious Senior. H e tried to discover so many seemingly impossible things that I really think his gray matter had begun
to send out l i t t l e rays of knowledge for his head was most always surrounded by a hazy, gray atmosphere.
On one memorable day in March i n the year of 1915, as the occupants of the assembly room sat plying what few brains were available,
to get their lessons f o r the following day, an unusual sound issued
from that corner of the room known as the "Seniors' Recluse." P r i n .

Bechtel raised his head and glowered in the aforesaid direction. A n d
to see the figure of a certain Senior dancing about, flinging his arms
aloft and yelling, " I have, I have it," certainly chilled the blood of our
honored pedagogue for a second. B u t in a trice Mr. Bechtel was walk.
ing down the aisle and i n another trice was escorting poor M r. Senior
out to safer quarters, which, by the way, was the chemical laboratory.
Here our illustrious Senior had to stay.
Perhaps you think he had cause to worry, but on the contrary he
made use of his misfortune by using his leisure moments in perform.
ing his experiments.
The thought that had come to his brain while in the assembly room
and had caused all t h e disturbance was that one which urged him to
make sunbeams out of cucumbers. Y o u t h i n k that was a laughing
matter, but I assure you it was a most serious one.
He then set about to catch a sunbeam, which was no easy task. A l l
manners of traps were set to do the deed. S t i c k y flypaper was even
pressed into service to ensnare the delicate, timid sunbeams.
One morning as lie was about to give up in despair, he spied a stray
sunbeam stealing into the room. H o w beautiful i t was. so happy and
gay, and oh how badly he hated to catch it, but his fame depended on
his procuring it. Seizing his electric tweezers, he made a quiet but
quick raid on the beam arid caught it I n spite of all the wriggling and
squirming, little sunbeam was placed in a glass jar for further use.
The search was begun f o r the proper acids etc., that were to be
used on poor sunbeam H a v i n g a little knowledge as to the composition
of the beam, Mr. Senior did n o t have as hard a time as one might
imagine finding his proper acids.
In the first place, the sunbeam was divided into several parts and
put into separate dishes. Ta k i n g one portion h e put onto it one cubic
beamometer of epizudimetric acid. N o re-action took place. Ta k i n g
another portion, a drop or two of bugothewisp was added which was
such a strong compound that it entirely destroyed time sample of the
sunbeam as well as the dish holding it
The next experiment was to take a long, small, iron cylindrical,
perforated pipe and supported it at both ends by blocks of wood. I n t° this pipe was placed a section of the sunbeam. T h r o u g h the holes
of the pipe chlorine was forced with great velocity, in fact, with such
great velocity that the beam was forced out at one end, and, of course,
flew away. T h i n g s had begun to look pretty discouraging, when three
experiments had been done and no results had followed. T w o other
experiments were tried but were of no avail.
Taking his last sample of sunbeam in one hand and his bottle of
precious compound, known a s M o r t a w e e o u r e g w a m p u s acid
(Mq2ZHP5TS7), in the other, he poured a few drops onto the bit of sun-

"The allies' left is trying to move around the Germans right, but
the Germans' right is also moving around the allies' left. N o w , if the
left of the Germans' right moves around the r i g h t of the allies' left,
then what is left of the German r i g h t must be right where the allies
left.
"But if the Germans' rights' left is left right where the allies' lefts'
right was right before the allies' left, then the left is right where the
right was right before the left's right left the right's left. I s n ' t that
right? O r is it?

A lady entered a church and sat down in a pew that belonged to
someone else.
The usher come up and said, "Mardon me, Padam, but you are
occupewing the wrong pie. L e t me sew you to a sheet."
A young lady who lisped took lessons of a professor in learning to
talk plainly, and learned t o say plainly, "Sister Susie's sewing shirts
for soldiers" (which by the way is a popular song).
One evening in a company she was asked to exhibit her new talent
and upon being complimented upon her success she made the following
reinarks: " Y e t h b u t ith thutch a diffacult thing to thay in ordinary

Sanitary Selections.
Wriggle, wriggle little bug,
Cuddled in the mud so snug,
When you set your teeth in me
How I wonder which 'twill be!
When I feel your talons nip,
Will I have typhoid or grippe?
Must I wade through whooping cough
Or just sneeze my topknot off?

Like a song of microbes,
On a city street,
Four and twenty millions
Underneath one's feet.
When the mud is drying,
The beasts begin to float—
en't they very dreadful things
To gallop down one's throat?

Goodbye, Old High School, We Leave You.
Four years of life and a battle won;
The enemy, Ignorance, on the run;
But whither she goes
She only knows,
And we may not choose but follow.
For at each halting or pause we make
She turns in the pathway, or like a snake
Glides into the grass,
And as we pass
Strikes at us from the hollow
But now that we've routed this wiley foe
Our duty is keeping her on the go.
And ever we'll strive
To keep alive
The spirit which you have shown us.
You've given us more than we claimed as due;
We've given the best that we had to you.
But now we know
That we must go
So goodbye, old High &amp;boo:, we leave you.
And may the record which class '15
Shall leave behind, be as bright and clean
As thoughts of the past
With you, that last
In the hearts of the class when it leaves you.

his responsibilities are the certification and tenure of the
teaching staff and the development of curriculum. He
recommends policies to the Board to be adopted. He
keeps the board informed o f the achievements and
needs of the school district, and gives guidance as that
which is permissible and required by school law.
Responsibility f o r keeping o u r school running
smoothly rests in the hands o f principal, M r. Paul
Turner. Both pleasant and unpleasant tasks arise daily
to keep Mr. Turner busy almost every minute he's in
school.
Assisting Mr. Turner is Vice-principal, M r. David
Binder. Besides carrying out responsibilities o f our
school, he serves as athletic director.
To help keep them in line we have our wonderful
secretaries. Not only do they keep them in line they keep
track of the students as well.

of o u r b u s drivers t h a t
students arrive t o school
safely. W e would l i k e t o
thank them for their faithful
service i n a l l k i n d s o f
weather.

My buried friends can I forget or must the grave
I know them as I did then and in my heart they I
They loved me once with love sincere and never
But often in my conflicts here they'd rails guide

I fain would weep but what of tears? No tears of mine can recall them,
Nor soitld I wish that rolling cares, no cares like mine, should e're befall
them.

�Some Final Thoughts
The publication o f a yearbook is a major undertaking which involves raising several thousand dollars,
taking hundreds of pictures, and producing the layout for each page. When I took over as the advisor for
the yearbook in late January, we were having serious problems in each of these areas; the problems continued to plague us throughout the second semester as well. However, the problems were finally overcome, and we are pleased to present to the student body and community this edition of the Viking, which
is entitled, 100 Years o f Viking Pride.
Three members of the staff deserve special mention for their hard work, positive attitudes, and their
ability to get things done. They are: Dawn Miller, Jodi Woods and Rhonda Cook. Without the efforts of
you three this book never would have been completed. Also, I would like to thank Ron Philbrick o f
Carousel Studios and Ray Smith of the Bronson Journal for their time and pictures, many of which were
used in this year's Viking. Many thanks also to Lee Zimmerman of Taylor Publishing for your "Let's-goget-'em" attitude and also for helping us lay out pages. I'm sure that you have a few additional grey hairs
due to this year's Viking. To Bev Weaver, thank you for all of your help and advice; it was invaluable and
I greatly appreciate it. Lastly, Linda Weber thank you for helping with the typing.
Over the course o f the year, the yearbook had three different advisors. With all of these changes and
the subsequent lack of consistent, coherent guidance to the staff, a number of events and groups are not
represented in this book. To anyone who may feel slighted, please accept my apologies and understand
that nothing was intentionally left out.
By the time everyone receives their yearbook, I will be gone, and therefore, I would like to leave a couple of thoughts for next year's editor and staff. To next year's editor — Your main role is to guide and
support the staff; it is not to be "the boss," also be willing to work hard and have pride in the quality of
the yearbook. To the staff — pull together and be supportive of each other because i f you don't you will
surely splinter apart, and that will make your work a thousand times more difficult. Also, remember that
while it's a lot of work it should also be a lot of fun.
Allen Rose
Yearbook Advisor

Bronson, Michigan 49028
As the end of August nears
and the air is crisp and cool,
Students will prepare
for their year at school.
Happy times with friends
will once again begin.
As autumn starts to fade
and winter closes in,
We spend the holidays
with family and friends.
Christmas and Thanksgiving cheer,
brightens a dreary time of year.
When New Year's is just past
students yearn forspring
With flowers and green grass
and blue skies that it brings.

Memory

Friends are always with us
If not in body then in spirit.
Sometimes taken for granted,
Because they are just a minute away.
_Angela C a r y

The times we have together are special,
But often not realized until separation.
There are hurts and always will be
But memories out shine them all.

J6.1,4 Smith

Laugh a lot and cry a little
But remember, never forget —
Taken a little too early, but not gone,
Just transformed from here to heart.
— A Bronson High School student

�SECRETARIES SERVE B.H.S.

Have you ever thought about
the work secretaries do without a
pout? They answer the telephone
or maybe take care o f broken
bones.
Would you listen to kids complain
on a d a y when things were a
pain?
You can see them working everyday
and you never hear them say,
"Hush up you mouthy kid
or I ' l l give y o u t o t h e highest
bid
They always have a ready smile
even if their work's in a pile
A secretary is really a wonder
to do so much without a blunder.
So thank you for all the help
you give without a yelp.
All of you are sweet
not to mention neat!

Mrs. Carol Forslund, secretary to Mr. Wragg; Mrs. Linda Weber, secretary to Mr. Turner;

The B.H.S. has a fantastic crew

team to one of its best seasons in several years. During the
summer they attended the National Cheerleaders Association Camp at Hope College where they received helpful instruction and new ideas. The girls are appreciative of Mrs.

The October 11, 1985 homecoming theme, "Rockin' Rampage'', was a
theme of perfection as the spirited Vikings enjoyed a fun week of activities
based on Rock-n-Roll. This year's Homecoming also came with a few surprises: The introduction of the first Viking mascots, the addition of a junior
court, and the revining of the parade through town which drew a large
crowd. Following the traditional bonfire, the Vikings played a masterful
game, but the Maple Valley Lions slipped by with a 7.0 victory. During
halftime, the Juniors were awarded first place for the best float. Seniors
captured second; Sophomores, third; and Freshmen, fourth. The new king
and queen, Doug Hughes and A m y Crampton, were crowned b y the
returning 1984 King Dave Herman and Queen Tammy Harsh. The dance
afterwards was enjoyed by all with music provided by "Escort".

�JV's Experience Disappointing Season

The JV girls' basketball team finished the season with an overall record of 2-18 and

many of the losses were by slim margins.
Second year Coach John Howard said, "The girls improved steadily throughout the
year and maintained a positive attitude despite the losses."

SPECIAL
CHRISTMAS
AT
BHS
The spirit of Christmas was alive in everyone at
the BHS Christmas assembly. I t was a time of
laughter when the gifts were given to students and
faculty; it was also a time of compassion when an
anonymous gift o f a three-wheel Schwinn was
given to Arizona Schaeffer. The hearts of all were
touched.
The audience responded enthusiastically as the
cheerleaders poked fun at the Varsity Basketball
Team with their skit, "Cheerleaders' Revenge."
The performances o f the band and aCappella
choir were also well received.
1. Mr. Zabonick received a chain to keep him on the bench at
basketball games.
2. Mr. Bobalik of the "Bruise Brothers- struts his stuff.
3. Arizona Schaeffer tries out his new Schwinn.
4. The faculty wished the students a Merry Christmas.

was very different. The stage
was bare except f o r a few
chairs and a table. The cast
even came running through

The play, "Curtain Going
Up," is the story of a senior
class putting on a play. It has
to do with all the trials and
tribulations o f the cast and
their play director. Our play
was directed by Miss Patricia
Chisholm.

Coach Martin Woodcox, in his 15th year as the
boys' tennis coach, led his team to a 5-9 record.
Bronson tied for first in the Pennfield Tournament
and finished second in the Bronson Invitational.
Coach Woodcox noted that the team fulfilled
his expectations as many good players were lost
from last year's team. "The boys came within a
few points of winning many of their matches but
were not able to pull out a victory.At the conclusion of the school year Mr. Woodcox retired from his teaching career, but plans to
continue coaching girls' and boys' tennis. He has
spent long hours building a tennis program for
Bronson and should be commended for his diligent
efforts. We wish him the best of success in his
semi-retirement.

on April 21-25. The theme for the week was
"Nothing Serious!," with individual themes
for each day: Monday, Hats n' Shades; Tuesday, Switch (guys dress like girls and vice
versa); Wednesday, Toga (with the slave auction also); Thursday, Summer Daze (Primarily Hawaiian shirts); and Friday, Down and
Out in BHS (bums and bag ladies).
A zany assembly held on Friday afternoon
featured such competitive events as the ever
popular obstacle course, the lemon eating
contest, the battle of the belchers and a new
legs contest.
The evening activities held on Friday at 7
P.M. ended the grueling, but fun, competition
between t h e classes. E v e n though t h e
underclassmen worked hard and putup a
good fight, the seniors were victorious.
To add a finishing touch, t h e MORP
(backwards P R O M ) w a s h e l d i n t h e
cafetorium. The D.J.'s for the evening were
Kim and Lori Cranson, otherwise known as
"Dead Fish on the Beach." The "totally
tasteless" event ended around midnight with
many tired people pitching in t o get the
cafetorium back to its "pre-Morp" condition.
The week really was "Nothing Serious!"

�GOODBYE, MY FRIEND
Goodbye, my friend
Goodbye 'til then.
Farewell until
We meet again.
It may be soon,
It may be late.
For us it's always
Worth the wait.
I'll miss our private
Conversations,
Quiet thoughts and
Inspirations,
All the times
We laughed and cried,
All the warmth
We felt inside.
Let's keep in touch
In our own way.
Let's share our dreams
Another day.
Let's never lose
The things we've shared.
Let's part as friends
Who've loved and cared.

��Isn't it funny how times goes so fast.
Our Freshman year was just present,
and now it's in the past.
I just can't get over it, it seems so strange,
yesterday we were the youngest here,
and today we reign.
Next thing! knew, it seems it happened over night,
I was a Sophomore already.
Wait, this can't be right.
I was having such a good time with all of
my friends,
then all of a sudden,
my Junior year was just around the bend.
One morning I woke up and looked in my mirror,
something wasn't right — I was starting my Junior
year.
While I was dreaming one night,
I woke at the dawn only to find out the
night was our Junior-Senior Prom.
All of a sudden class was interrupted by the school
P.A.
Senior Class meeting will be held on Monday.
When's our Senior trip, what colors will we wear?
Decisions, this doesn't seem fair.
Next thing! knew I was up on the stand
with a smile on my face and a diploma in my hand.
So Graduation can't really be called "the end"
rather a time to tuck away memories
and wish the best to friends.
— Marcy Weaver

Travelers: The Panic of '86 d p o

I would like to thank my talented staff for their year of constant hard
work and dedication to the 1986 VIKING. Often times the seemingly
endless hours of preparation and frustration are not noticed. I recognize
those times and want you t o know that you are greatly appreciated.
Without your individual contributions, the publication of the book would
not have been possible.
I would especially like to thank Mrs. Vera Hurd for her time, leadership,
knowledge, and un-ending support. Her display of care and understanding
for t h e yearbook a s w e l l a s t h e school h a s been a n admirable
characteristic for years.
To the entire student body I would like to extend warm wishes for a
very good year. To the class of 1986, thank you for all of the wonderful
memories. May all of you find a future full of success and happiness.

Yearbooks are a composite from a variety of sources. There is a copy
written by the yearbook staff displaying their varied styles; and there are
pictures representing the wide spectrum of student life, reflecting the personalities of so many. All of it is forever imprinted on the pages of time.
I would like to express my gratitude to: Ray Smith of the Bronson
Journal for sharing his photographs; Morris Wood for the most recent
aerial view on page two; Ron Philbrick and Floyd Prater of Carousel
Studios for photographing our students and staff and encouraging us when
we attempted o u r o w n ; L e e Z i m m e r m a n , representing Ta y l o r
Publishing Company, whose positive attitude and excitement kept us going when the going got tough; our advertisers who gave us their financial
support, and my yearbook staff people who made this an enjoyable
job.
A special note of appreciation goes to Michelle Perkins whose quiet
spirit, gentle ways and persevering attitude made her a joy to work with.
It is her ability to visualize and verbalize that makes this book a success.
"To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under
the heaven" wrote Solomon. The changing seasons have rolled the years
around and this is my final closing. Advising the Bronson High School VIKING for six years has been a pleasurable and satisfying experience.

It's Been Such a Long Time

The new and the old have value to
us only as they relate to the present
Yesterday made us what we are
tomorrow is our dream.
To live for either is to lose our
only reality, the moment.

�Leaving Yesterday Behind

All our time spent together,
will be remembered by all.
We've made it through 4 years together,
and told 'ourselves, we must not fall.
Our memories of Bronson High,
will soon be in the past.
How we wish the time would stop,
so every moment would last.
All the laughter and fun,
of every precious day.
Begins to make us cry,
as they're quickly slipping away!
m o t h y 11 / 0 / t a

We've all made many loyal friends,
throughout our high school years.
We hate to leave them behind,
and to see their falling tears.
We're looking at tomorrow,
and all our future dreams.
The love we've shared with classmates,
is slipping away it seems.
Looking into the future,
and the beautiful bright sunshine.
We begin to realize,
we're leaving yesterday behind . .

��Viking Staff Shows That Special Spirit
Not always recognized, the Viking staff spends many
long hours planning for the publication of the yearbook.

Viking staff certainly takes pride in their important role at
our school.
In August, some of the staff members enjoyed a cookout
at Pokagon State Park, where they made plans for the
1985 Yearbook. Following this, was a time of recreation.

Coach Mike Miller's JV Basketball
team had a superb season with a
record of 15 wins and 4 losses. They
proved their skill, with the only losses
coming from class B schools. Because
of the team's many excellent shooters
and their ability to work well together,
it's no wonder the 1984-85 season is
one to be proud of.

The Freshmen Basketball team, coached by Mr. Dennis Langwell,
showed a winning season with a record of 16-8. The purpose of having
a freshmen squad is to give young players the chance to get a feel for
the game. This year's team not only gained experience but continued to
improve throughout the entire season. This hard working group of boys
should be credited for their determination and willingness to learn.

Rob. Bret, and Chris
The JV's stood tall this year although
their inclusive record of 13-9 and SMAA
record of 7-4 did not show it. The team
won eight games by the ten-run mercy
rule and were never "shutout." Chris
Withington was named Most Valuable
Player, while the Most Improved Player
award was given to Jamie Smoker. The
Maple Va l l e y g a m e highlighted t h e
season. The Vikes, down 1 t o 2, scored
two runs in the seventh and went on to
hold the Lions, winning 3-2. Coach John
Mayer f e l t t h e w o r d "versatile- best
described his team. H e commented, " I
had players I could put anywhere and
they'd do a good job."

�Santa
Comes to
BHS

BHS never seems to be let down when it
comes to the Christmas assembly, for Santa
always shows u p w i t h many presents f o r
students and faculty. The gifts presented ranged from a joke book for Mr. Scully to a pair of
antlers for Mr. Bobalik. The entertainment included a humorous version of " T h e Twelve
Days o f Christmas" presented b y all three
cheerleading squads, and special performances
by the High School Band and the A Cappella
Choir.
1. Maybe Mr. Scully's jokes will be a little better after getting a new joke book from Santa
(Doug Hughes).
2. Mr. Moderes room will certainly smell better
now after receiving an air freshener.
3. The varsity, Jv, and freshman cheerleaders
sing their version of "The Twelve Days of
Christmas."
4. The gym was filled with laughter when Mr.
Bobalik was surprised with a new pair of
AnstsLiesiPrig Santa during the assembly were
elves Laura Albright and Bob Aleman.

�The Morp (backwards prom) sponsored by the student council
on March 1, highlighted the spirit week activities. instead of suggesting a l o v e theme beautiful decorations a n d fashionable
clothing, the Morp dance was quite the opposite. "Love Stinks"
served as the theme, with decorations provided b y Charmin,
White Cloud, and Northern. Unfashionable attire included togas,
faded blue jeans and torn sneakers.
Blue light specials were held every half hour and prizes such as
mouth wash, air freshener and odor eaters were given to the winners. T h e famous D.J.'s, " D i r t , Waste and Scum" otherwise
known as Bob Mayer, Gary Ratkowski and Brian Eley, helped
make the evening a success. Queen Chris Ludwick and King Mary
Albright were chosen by a chance drawing and were crowned with
cardboard hats and robed with old curtains.
By a unanimous vote of the student council, half of the proceeds from the Morp were contributed to the African famine appeal. Because of the success of the first Morp, the student council
hopes the dance will become a lasting tradition at Bronson High
School.

�School Day
Memories
As we reach out our hand
The diploma we grasp.
While we think of memories
Of the years in the past.
Tears fill our eyes
Because it's all gone,
We're starting a new life,
We have to move on.
We hope friends will keep in touch
As the years pass us by,
Although it hurts inside
We'll try not to cry.
We think of kindergarten
And our first day,
Now we've reached the end
We are going away.
How do you say good-bye
To friends who mean so much?
Will there be time
To sincerely keep in touch?
You'll always have the memories
Of your school years from day one,
Don't think of school as ending —
Think a new life has begun.

Clare Laws began working in the Bronson School system in 1963 on a temporary basis. However, because of the efficient manner in which she handled her
duties she is now finishing twenty-one years of uninterrupted service as study
hall supervisor and attendance clerk. All of us will feel our loss next year without
Mrs. Laws who hopes to have more free time for travel and family. She in turn
says she will greatly miss the association with staff and students.
Marjorie Keeslar is finishing twenty-one years as a cook for the high school
cafeteria. In reference to her involvement she said, "I have enjoyed the work.
Many changes have taken place, but the students remain their loveable selves,
complaining one day and complimenting the next." She is looking forward to
having more opportunity for travel, hobbies and family.

John Ash spent ten years as a custodian in the Bronson School system
following twelve years with Sturgis Public Schools. Having worked the night shift
for part of that time, he saw students in their after-school activites and says he
will miss them. However, he is looking forward to having more time for his grandchildren, reading and riding his bicycle.
We will miss these who have been dedicated to their jobs and wish to express
our appreciation for all our hourly employees who quietly and faithfully work in
the background

. . . this 1984 edition of the VIKING to three of our supportive staff who are retiring this year.

�At the Sixth Annual Junior Miss Pageant held in the Tibbits Opera House, Saturday,
November 19, 1983, Lorinda Mayer was named Branch County's Junior Miss for
1984. She was selected from 11 contestants, all of whom were seniors in their
respective high schools. Each girl was judged on youth fitness; creative and
performing arts; and poise and appearance. Loonda was the first girl from outside
the Cokf water area ever to have earned the right to represent Branch County in
Michigan's 26th Annual Junior Miss Program, staged in the Marshall Middle School
auditorium January 21, 1984. Out of 28 contestants Lonnda had the high honor of
being named third runner-up. Her performance in the creative and performing arts
category was a song and dance routine that she choreographed herself — " A
Bushel and a Peck" from the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls.
As members of the yearbook staff, we have been pleased to write the above in
recognition of Lonnda's achievements as a person and in appreciation for the two
years she has served as editor of the 1983 and 1984 Bronson High School Viking.

����My Best Friend
Whenever I need a friend
You always seem to be there.
You help me with my problems,
And our joys together we share.
I can't imagine life
Without a friend like you.
Once we get together
We are an indivisible two!
All the fun I've shared with you
Can never be replaced.
Together we've had many good
times,
And conquered the problems
we've had to face.
So I want you to know
That I am always here,
If ever you need a friend
To make your thoughts clear.
And when I must leave you,
As many good friends sometimes
part,
I leave you with good memories
And an important place in my
heart.
Kelli Schenk, Alton, IL

The ring of the bell.
The shuffle of feet through an almost
soundless hallway.
The whispers in the stillness,
And the quiet, empty feeling
that awaits us all.
"How can it be?"
"Why?"
So many questions that we,
ourselves, cannot answer.
Losing a friend is such a hard
thing to accept.
So much wanting them back,
But, instead, only memories.
How we wish we could
turn time back.
To share the friendship again.
If it were only possible.
In time we shall accept your absence,
But, we will never forget your presence.
Memories are seldom lost.

Talented
and
Gifted

Participants included: Beth Herman, Kathy Czajkowski,
Susan Carpenter, Shelly Geiger, Tim Wotta and Jesse
McGuire.

What is a talented and/or gifted student? One definition might be as
follows: A talented and gifted student is one who does things a little earlier,
a little better, a little faster, and usually a little differently from most other
students.
Whatever definition is chosen we think Beth Herman, Kathy Czajkowski,
Susan Carpenter, Shelly Geiger, Tim Wotta, and Jesse McGuire will fit.
These students were selected to participate in the T.A.G. Conference at
Battle Creek Central High School. For two days they met and shared communication experiences with others of their caliber from Calhoun and
Branch County schools. All participants agreed that hearing experts in the
fields of communications and working in discussion groups with their
peers was a very rewarding and enlightening experience.

�Students Quized in Competition
Completing their first full year of competition, the BHS quiz
bowl team finished in a three-way tie for fourth place in the
SMAA standings. I n the opinion o f the advisors Dave
Lockwood and Vera Hurd they could have very easily ended
in third had they not lost a couple of matches by very narrow
margins. The teams took on a new look with monogrammed
sweaters provided through an anonomous source.
The scores for the second round of play are as follows:
Bronson
115

Opposing Team
Olivet 135
Maple Valley 155
Pennfield 120
Springfield 105
Bellevue 120
St. Phillips 90

AJV team, made up of those not quizzing on the varsity
squad, saw limited competition because only a few SMAA
schools had a second team.

76

Questions for competition included the academic areas of
fine arts, literature, science, social studies and mathematics.
The following questions are taken from one of the quiz
sessions.
1The style most closely connected with Vincent Van Gogh
is?
2. The diagonals of a rhombus are 15" and 20" What is its
area?
3. T h e history of all hitherto existing society is the history of
class struggles." Which of the following men made the
above quote? (a) Adolf Hitler (b) John Locke (c) Karl Marx
(d) Thomas Jefferson
4 Who wrote the novel The Scarlet Letter?

Coach Fisher's young team started
the season with only seven seniors
and the rest consisting of juniors and
sophomores. It was a learning year
with the underclassmen gaining very
valuable experience.
The Vikes had trouble getting into
the end zone, and had too many
turnovers. As a result, they saw the
season end with 0 wins and 9 losses.
Although it was bit of a discouraging year for the Varsity Vikes each felt
that they had gained from their experience and the time, effort and hard
work put into shaping their team was
all well worthwhile.

The boys finished the season with a
respectable record of 3-5-1.
Coach Moon stated that the boys
were an exciting bunch to work with
as he "never knew what to expect
from them."

��Golf Team Splits Season

The golfing team under Coach
Modert won 8 and lost 11 matches
this season. They placed tenth in
the Regionals. The team consisted
of only one senior and the rest
were a l l underclassmen which
hampered the team due to a lack of
experience.
Junior, Jeff Case, was selected
to the All Conference team for the
second straight year.
Apromising young golfer, Tom
Kehoe, will be sadly missed by his
fellow golfers next year.

First Row: Steve Bell, Craig Wotta, Tom Kehoe, Bob Mayer, Dave Wohlers, Roger Rathbun. Second Row:
Brian Gilbert, Don Williams, Dave Rinehart, Brian Eley, Dan Rinehart, Jeff Case, Coach Modert.

Cline, Jerry Griffeth. Third Row: Coach Keith Dykman, Jim Miller, Jesse McGuire, Greg Anderson, Mike
VanBlarcom, Bill Ludwick, Pat Peavey, Chuck Cline, Travis Dykman.

Under the strong leadership of Coach Keith Dykman the
boys team accumulated a record of 4-5 overall and the
girls - 2 .
The season was sparked by some fine performances
as three runners qualified for the State meet. They are
Jesse McGuire, Chuck Cline and Jean Miller. McGuire
finished second and was named to the All-State team.
Both McGuire and Cline were made all conference and
named team captains. Beth Barrows and Jean Miller were
chosen co-captains for the girls.

�Varsity Encounters Disappointing Season
Unfortunately, the Varsity team suffered a disappointing season, losing 13 games and winning 6
overall. The league record was three wins and 9
losses. Mr Zabonick's most enviable career record
now stands at 419 wins and only 186 losses.
Several factors contributed to this year's disappointing season including numerous injuries, only
three returning players, and team difficulties in functioning as a unit.
Coach Zabonick felt that the season might have
had a different outcome i f Bronson could have
beaten Maple Valley which would have given his
players the determination needed to win four or five
more games.
First Row: Randy Clark, Gary Ratkowski, Ron Cary, Bob Mayer, Jim Miller, and Chris Smoker. Second
Row: Assistant Coach Mike Miller, Pat Peavey, Mark Smoker, Brian Ely, Martin Rzepka, Mike Van Blarcom, Rick Connolly, and Coach Bill Zabonick.

�J.V.'s Ace SMAALeague

The J.V.'s had a tremendous season of
18-2 (12-0 in league play), to overcome
the SMAA for the second year in a row.
The J.V.'s were under the supervision
of their coach, Mike Miller, who stated,
"I'm really happy with the season; the
players worked hard and played excellently as a team."
The team's strong point was defense,
holding their opponents to an average of
36 points a game, while the Viking offense pumped in an average of 56 points.
Perhaps the most spectacular victory
for the squad came late in the season
when they tromped Three Rivers by 27
points, revenging an earlier loss of 40-41.

�Jayvee Enthusiasm Overflows
The Jayvee cheerleaders, along with
the Varsity and Freshman squads, participated in a number of fund raising activities throughout the year. During Polish
Festival Days, the girls washed pitchers at
the "Big Tent" and conducted a baked
foods sale. The cheerleaders also ran a
candy sale during Spirit Week and sold
Viking pens and pencils during the school
year. As a result of the success with
these funds new football uniforms will be
purchased for the Jayvee and Freshman
cheerleading squads.

b. Jesse shows his winning form.

a

Jesse McOuire is an outstanding athlete and gifted student. He
has gained much recognition in both Track and Cross Country.
Jesse moved from Arkansas last year as a freshman. While
attending Bronson High School he has broken school records in
Cross Country and Track. This year he placed second at the
State Cross Country Meet and first in both the Mile and Two Mile
events at the State Track Meet.
Much of Jesse's drive and ambition to win, stems from his
hope of winning an athletic scholarship so that he may attend
college after his senior year.
He contributes his running success to some natural ability but
the most important factor is prayer. Jesse says that he doesn't
practice any more than his teammates but when watching him it
is obvious he puts everything he has into each practice.

�On October 28, 1983, at the annual Homecoming game,
sponsored by the Student Council, many parents and faithful
fans, in their snowsuits and with blankets pulled close, lined the
bleachers to watch the Vikings vs. the Bellvue Broncos.
Nearing the end of the second quarter the Vikes had the advantage of 20-6, and the crowd was anxious to see half-time activities. Randy Herman and Lorinda Mayer were crowned King
and Queen for Homecoming 1984. All four classes made very
creative floats to the theme of "Cartoon Capers." However, for
the third year in a row the Class of "85" was awarded first. At
the finish of the game the brave Vikes were edged out by a
score of 20-24.
Despite the loss many people enjoyed the dance following the
game with music provided by "Double Decker."

�Earthbound Ghost
Brings Chills
"Gramercy Ghost," the 1983 Fall Play, was held November 11 and 12 in
the Bronson Middle School Auditorium. It was a modern day production with
a not so modern catch. Nathanial Coombes, a Revolutionary War hero, was
an earthbound ghost thought of as a traitor by General Washington. While on
earth he fell in love with Nancy Willard, the young lady to whom he was left in
Miss Bullock's will. He was finally accepted into heaven after one of his
ghost friends found the evidence which freed him from his stay on earth.
"Gramercy Ghost" was double cast. The boys played the same parts
both nights, but different girls were used in each production. Carl Rifenburg
served as director with the assistance of student director Tia Sager and
assistant student directors Bart Burnside, Bill Ludwick, and Jill Smoker.

�The Moment May Be Temporary
But the Memory is Forever.

FffrIl

Remember all of your friends,
And the fun we must now leave behind,
As each of us begin the rest of our lives,
Not knowing what we'll find.
Remember not mistakes we've made,
But what each of us has learned,
As we say good-bye for good
Walking away with what we've earned.
As we go our separate ways
To face what the future has in store,
Remember all that we made it through
As the class of '84.

Memories 1 5 9

�Time — that infinite number of seconds, minutes, and hours. The time we have, we take for granted. It is as if we have that infinite
amount of hours to do everything we wish to do.
And yet our time is numbered, our seconds precious. Every second we waste, is a second gone from our lives forever. And no matter
how hard we try, we can do nothing to regain that time that we have lost.
Time is that unconquerable thing that no one has the power to begin nor the will to make end. That beautiful thing that we wish we could
stop when things are at their best and speed up when things are at their worst.
This book holds within it the times spent at B.H.S. and treasures every moment, knowing these times are now in the past and only remain as memories for us to look back upon. But it also conveys a very important message to all . .. Live for every second, enjoy for every
minute, and love for every hour, for sand is slowly going through the time-glass of life, and sobn, too soon, the sand will run out.
I would like to extend a special Thank-you to my staff for all the continuous hours spent in designing and developing this year's yearbook. The publication of a yearbook takes much time and hard work and without each staffers dedication the completion of the book
would not be possible. This completion also requires guidance. The guidance of someone who is willing to offer their time, knowledge and
understanding to anyone at anytime. That person is our advisor, Mrs. Vera Hurd. In our eyes she is not only an outstanding advisor but an
outstanding individual as well.
To my classmates of 1984, I would like to wish you the best in all that you do, and may you find success and happiness in the many
roads ahead of you.
Lorinda Mayer
Yearbook Editor
Gathering and organizing the countless candids and endless copy for a 160-page yearbook requires the cooperation and hard work of
many people. I am especially indebted to the dedication of our editor, Lorinda Mayer, and all the staff who benefited from her inspiration.
Aspecial thank-you goes to all our advertisers, without whom this book could never have been; to Lee Zimmerman of Taylor Publishing
Company for the hours of good advice; to Ron Philbrick and Carousel Studio for helping us with our photography; to Ray Smith of the
Bronson Journal for pictures and copy; and to the administration, staff and students of Bronson High School who so graciously responded
to the innumerable questions, "takes" and "retakes."
With deepest gratitude,
Vera Hurd, Advisor

�A Moment. . . A Mood
A Place in Time!
A fine portrait study is forever i t is the present and the past given to the future . . . it is a way to
remember that cannot be duplicated.
The gift of a fine portrait study takes time and effort and is truly an expression of love on the part
of the giver; and, when properly displayed, reflects the close feelings between two people or a
family.
We specialize...
in salon type
photography
and
graduation portraits
of course?

Congratulations

your deepest dream.

����Ode to Class of 1983.
We bring congratulations
For the honor you hove won,
For all your work and effort
And for everything you've done —
And through the years
Thor lie ahead

Much success and happiness
In everything you do.
