GREETING:
You have reached the goal of graduation; you have completed
the authorized course of study; you are t o take y o u r departure
from the school that has provided twelve years of instruction for
you; you are to be called upon to meet the problems of life
cide upon their solution; you are to become a p a r t of
munity in which you will choose as your abode. I t is the hope of
your teachers and friends that your efforts and trials during your
days, now ended, shall not have been i n vain. W e assume that
the training you have received will be utilized for the betterment
of all mankind, wherever you may chance to be, and that
perience i n t h i s school will promote your future progress and
success
As you journey along life's pathway, we admonish you to keep
in mind the purpose for which this school, your Alma Mater,
ganized and sustained—the building of elearaeter—and we t r u s t the
knowledge gained w i l l be an inspiration upon which
poses of character, high ideals and aspirations are founded. W e
urge you to be a living example to those you leave behind, and let
your conduct be such that it w i l l receive the applause
mendation of those who know you best, and when your life
pleted, the world will arise in one accord and say
Very sincerely yours,
H. E. STEARNS.

And i t came t o pass in the nineteenth hundredth year, the
nineth month and the first day that the class of
and fourteen heard the sound of the bell and took warning f o r it
was their first year of High School and they were to
Now these are the names of the children of Union City H i g h
School t h a t came i n as Freshmen: R u t h the Brownite; Georgia
the Krullite; J. B. the Gowerite; Robert the Burnsite; Ruth t h e
Coxite; Leslie the Fishellite; James the Craigite; Nina
merite; Carl the Brayite; Owen the Deckerite; M a r y

and Vietta the Rickardites; Marie the O'Rorkeite; Ray

burite; Hubert the Spenserite; I v a the Sinithite; Margaret the
Pepperite; Althea the Marshite; I r e n e the Osbornite; Lelia t h e
Maynardite; Nina the Worthite; Mabel the VanSchoichite; M y r t i e
the Seaburyite; Irene the Philoite.
Now it came to pass that in the days when we were Freshmen
that the Seniors began to prey upon us, and certain ones would
make a joke of us, but we were not to be thus used as the Seniors
soon found.
Now there were many obstacles before us, such as Latin and
Algebra.
But i t came to pass since we feared them not that
quered them.
There was English, and much trouble was there in ruling this,
but the weary English teachers tried hard and so did t h e i r best.
There were times of amusement and often at these times did
we go into the country i n sleigh loads to the Grange hall and at
these times there was much happiness and enjoyment.
And it came to pass, while we were thus engaged, that a great
sorrow came to us, the sudden death of our classmate, Georgia the
Krullite.
But before departing from school i t came to pass
neyed through the country of the Calhounites, to the Lake of Lee

�and remained there a day and were happy.
I t came to pass that we again started i n school and that we
were Sophomores, during which there were more times of urgent
studying, and times of enjoyment as before.
And it came to pass that more obstacles arose such
and Geometry, but again did we conquer.
A t the end of this year, we departed for the land of
waterites, and another day of happiness was spent and t h e year
was ended well.
But, behold, in the t h i r d year when we again d i d come t o
school, we found several more followers and they were thus called:
Margarite and Marshall Brushardites, Bridgway the Culverite,
Bernice the Brattinite.
There were many who departed from the field of
it came to pass that we remaining ones studied less industriously
then before, and t h a t there was much amusement and gatherings
in the library.
Then, at the end o f this year, when we were Juniors i t was
known that a banquet had to be given unto the Seniors
forth we began to labor that we might find favor in the
them, and that success might be our fortune.
We, therefore, labored and though we became weary of the
task we were exceedingly glad, for it came to pass that success did
come to us and we rejoiced.
And, behold, another year had passed, and we again journeyed
into the land of the Coldwaterites, the Narrows, and again,
fore, spent a day of enjoyment.
Behold, when we again did assemble we were Seniors, and it
was to be our last year. L o ! all but twenty-two had grown weary
by the wayside, and we were left to assume our duties as before.
Now, during this year, we found that trouble had at
to us in our class and that we did n o t work in harmony, however,
right carried the day.
It was in this year that we did plan to have an "Annual", the
first of this school. B e h o l d ! again our forces were

�And i t came to pass at the end o f the school year, nineteen
hundred and fourteen, that we did dream that we were presented
with a parchment with writing upon it.
The interpretation o f t h e w r i t i n g was, t h a t t h e sons and
daughters of these tribes of the Unionites were graduates of the
Union City High School.
Then we all went our various ways rejoicing.

�Never a life has faded into the west, without casting back
Rosy flushes to be cherished by a soul in need.
And—when the call from the Borderland reaches you
Be of good cheer, dear heart, f o r you journey to the Eternal Blue.
For, on the western slope of life —all shall be joyful,
And the night shall be made light,
And i t shall be ever.asting day
In a land, far more precious than O v e r the Wall'.
After these strange words—I was left alone.
Toward the east the Dawn sent its rosy flushes
Into the morning sky —the lark poured forth its song,
And in my innermost being—I knew i t to be Day.
Gladly I went, back to my work and to contentment,
Perhaps in some vague, reaching way—you may learn
As I have learned—How very sweet is Life
And how unworthy the things we long for most.

Love at
They love:
You smile at the phrase,
And say you know i t is not true.
For youth alone is made f o r love
As blushing rose f o r m o r n i n g dew.
B u t love:
Comes not alone to youth
A t early dawn of day,
I t comes too, when the shadows fall
Across the Border way.
And:
They who love when silver hairs
Have won away the gold,
And t r e m b l i n g lips seek for the kiss,
And weary arms infold.
Love indeed:
Undaunted shines w i t h i n the eyes,
And i n the heart is perfect rest.
Ah! y o u say love at morn is true,
B u t I say t w i l i g h t love is best.

Here we are assembled in this dear old hall once more,
Just as here we've been assembled many, many times before.
But now it's up to us to say, that our vast knowledge's here to stay
Ere we journey on with memories of our dear old classmates.

Farewell. Union, how we hate
For we love our Union High
Chasing thru those noisy halls,
Heeding not the teachers' calls,
Making good examples for the Freshmen, Freshmen.
But we've never been sorry I ween
That we were not of nineteen thirteen,
For the spirit we did show
Made the football
And so we'll give one rah! f o r Union High!
Of course we're ever so sorry f o r the naughty things
But we just couldn't sit around and not have any fun.
We beat them all i n playing ball, we beat them on the honor roll,
And of course we beat them all in good deportment.

�Class OW.
We, the Senior Class o f Union C i t y High School, County of
Branch, State o f Michigan, U. S. A . , being i n sound mind and
memory and considering t h e uncertainties o f life, have a f e w
cherished possessions which we wish t o distribute to

all quids of gum found under our desks and ponies which have
been broken--may be driven single or double.

—Owen L . Decker,

In Memory of
lr493-1911
We came from separate paths
Which wound.—some way to the main of life.
Stretching immeasurably d i s t a n t
Out to the setting sun.
We met—and f o r a short, sweet while
Our paths, together ran, b u t suddenly
Yo u r path dear, turned
And we lost you in eternity.
Lonely, we trod the long, white road,
Which ever to the western slope of life cloth lead.
Lonely, we go,— b u t yet, 'twas you
Who taught us love—and we cannot forget.

Senior
Owen w i t h his p i n k mustache,
All the sweet g i r l s he can mash;
Now he is Miss K ' s ardent lover,
Many a mile he oft w i l l drive her,
Till, at dawn, he'll homeward creep,
Boy and horse too tired to eat.
A t the President next we'll whack,
He is commonly known as " J a c k " ;
City news he writes for you,
Thu named " L e v i " , he's no Jew;
Rosy cheeks, and dimples, too,
Makes g i r l s say, " I love y o u . "
Hugh. the giant of the class,
Next upon our views we'll pass;
He at football wins renown,
And w i t h some, he too's, a clown.
With the girls he's seldom seen,
Thu we're sure he knows " I r e n e " .
Captain " G r e e n i e " , — t h e bat can wield,
Wins many honors on the field;
As for g i r l s much he could tell.
Knows them all, b u t loves one well,
Says his " Ta s h " is " o u t of s i g h t " ,
Just because its color's white.
There's our noisy J. B. Gower,
Every day he gets the " p o w e r " ;
Of the " m e d i c i n e " he can sell,
Nearly all t h e class can tell.
As for girls, he likes them all,
A sweetheart, tho, we can't recall
Thoughts of James, makes us recall,
He's the neatest boy of all;
Soon's he sees a speck of dirt,
Hard and f a i t h f u l l y he w i l l work.
Girls?—of them, all we can say,
He's a new one every day.
Last of all, comes our boy Marshall,
To one girl, somewhere, m u s t he be partial;
For to Senior girls we're told,
He has turned a shoulder cold.
Smiling, pleasant, every day,
These good words f o r him we say.

This isn't a dream, it isn't
It's simply a fact put down
The jolliest girls, never breaking a rule,
Are sure to be found in U. C.
You ask me to
With "J"
I am sure you will obtain them,
If you trace through this rhyme.
First comes the editor, gladsome and gay.
She is all curls and smiles, but likes her Own way.
She is dancing and singing a gay
And always defends the right, not
Louise and Irene come tumbling in,
Things half ended and
Flying skirts and detachable curls
They're the jolliest of girls.
Marietta, two Marys and one Marie,
Are always sedate and fair
Whether at work or whether at play,
They're sure to be happy the livelong day.
Nina Dormer
The people say, "What under
But the Seniors laughing only say,
"Another fuss with Wendt today."
Myrtle and Iva, true friends to the last
Never have to worry about "D cards
Always continuing to perform
They go right on working never taking
Christel, Vietta, Mabel, Ella and
That's quite a big mouthful, seems
But the never-the-less they're jolly good fun,
And keep time with the others in the long run.

�"The Legend of the Bleeding Heart"
Or

"How Union City Received its Name."
Many years ago. long before the white man came to
t r y, there dwelt along the banks of a river, now well known in the
southern p a r t of Michigan as the St. Joe, a tribe of Indians called
the Pottowattamies.
A t this time, the r i v e r w a s several t i m e s its p r e s e n t size and
the m i g h t y w a t e r s r u s h i n g t h r o u g h t h e t h i c k f o r e s t , did seem
like a Great Way—rushing, tumbling, picturesque in
ness—to m e e t some v i t a l f o r c e —maybe civilization. N o w m i l l s
and powerhouses have been b u i l t on i t s banks and the once proud
river f l o w s u n o b t r u s i v e l y along, t h r o u g h t h e m a n y
cities which have overtaxed its s t r e n g t h and left i t to ripple softly
as though ashamed, lest i t be noticed and commented upon.
" G re a t H e a r t " w a s chief o f t h e Pottowattamies. H e h a d a
daughter whose h a i r was t h e color o f golden maize, and eyes as
deep a n d s t a r r y a s t h e s t a r s i n a m i d s u m m e r s k y. " G r e a t
H e a r t " loved his daughter with a passion lacking any control,— b u t
he was secretly ashamed t h a t the child of t h e chief of
wattamies should resemble no known creature. H e mourned over
his degradation, and t h e sight of t h e sunshine mingled w i t h h i s
daughter's golden hair made sorrow w i t h i n his heart.
The Indian maiden had never k n o w n a mother's love, f o r, on
the d a y o f h e r b i r t h , a l s o t h e d a y o f t h e " S u n g o d ' s " v i s i t t o
earth, the t i r e d l i t t l e m o t h e r w e n t H o m e —where n o l o n g e r the
war c r i e s w o u l d t r o u b l e h e r slumbers. B e f o r e she went
ressed h e r b a b y, and, because of h e r g o l d e n h a i r called h e r the
" S u n maid".
The Indians thought the Sungod had been displeased and had
sent to them a creature so u t t e r l y different f r o m anyone they had
ever seen. A n d even though t h e y loved t h e maiden d e a r l y, who
was so considerate of their comforts, they allowed h e r to grow up,
knowing f u l l y t h e i r real feelings and l e a v i n g her to bear h
row alone
One day in the time of ripened maize, the Sun maid came home
from a t r i p i n the f o r e s t and f o u n d a l l confusion w i t h i n
wam. T h e chief and his warriors were going on the warpath w i t h
a neighboring tribe --All In. T h i s t r i b e w e r e excellent w a r r i o r s
and, b y far, outnumbered the Pottowattainies and the Sunmaid's

�heart sank for she knew they would nqt be the victors.
The next day at sundown she wandered down the river. I t
was just sixteen years since her mother had l e f t her. T h e last
rays o f sun i n the west shed i t s r o s y l i g h t over the weeping
maiden. S u d d e n l y the figure of the tiungod appeared
"Listen to me! T h e r e is one way by which you may be saved, and
that i s b y t h e tribes uniting. I w i l l cause t h i s t o be brought
about if you will r e t u r n with rue to the region of the sun, coming
back only once each year in the night to visit your home."
The Sunmaid loved h e r father, and knowing that only t h r u
her could the unison be brought about, she consented.— B u t pray
let me leave some sign t h a t m y father may know where I have
gone. S o she went to the region of the sun with the Sungod and
every summer there comes a day when the corn is at its ripened
stage and the Sungod visits the earth. H e allows the "Sunmaid"
just at nightfall to return f o r a brief visit. S o if you should now
hear the sound of dancing waters and whispering trees, you may
know that it is the Sunmaid back among her own.
The day after the disappearance o f t h e Indian maiden, the
chief was walking beside the river and he saw a bush on which
grew many, many little bleeding hearts,—he knew then that the
Sungod had taken his daughter and he would never see her again.
But true to the Sungod's promise, the tribes were united and
today on the banks of the St. Joe river there is a prospering little
town which resulted from the united tribes and i s called b y the
inhabitants—Union City.

The
Union City was yet naked and leafless, but its sunsets
ways beautiful, and t h e rosy glow of the sun is tinging w i t h i t s
radiance the whole evening sky. I t is inspiring and soothing to
witness the effect of the after-glow, to see the very
ing forth in the flashes of gold and crimson, to experience
ing of awe stealing over
The gold-tipped arrows o f the sunset pierce t h e deepening
shadows of the sky and b u r s t into beautiful tints. L o o k at those
gorgeous rainbow hues! S e e t h e colors —mother o f
mine, violet, lavendar—'-what does it mean?" I cried. A h ! those
rainbow hues are searchlights turned on the world beyond.

�The vivid colors f i d e and a cloud castle appears
and d i m l y p a i n t e d i n t h e ashen s k y. I t i s a vast castle w i t h
round t u r r e t and c o l u m n s stained b y t h e f a i n t e s t o f rainbow_
bleodel t i n t s . A t e i t h e r side o f i t , t h e c l o u d mountains rise in
august majesty. L i f t t h i n e eyes, Oh! l i f t thine eyes to t h e cloud
mountains whose ashen grandeur throws into relief a
ing river, r u s h i n g p a s t the cloud castle, and leaping into the blue
sea beyond.
As I l o o k a t the scene, I recall t h a t the Romans h e l d t h a t a
city should have a not too d i s t a n t view of mountains t o u p l i f t t h e
soul of the citizen and a river to- - H a r k !
Ah! t h e great bells of t h e town swell i n t o a full,
mony t h a t sweeps t h e soul. T h e sun sets, the clouds move, the
t w i l i g h t fades, and leaves the wor ld to darkness and to me.

Battle
There are battles brave in h i s t o r y,
There are battles of force and fame,
B u t in the heart of a woman
Is the battle of which I name.
The foes are hidden i n ambush,
T h e i r weapons are joy and pain;
The battle ground is the conscience,
And the losing is of times the gain.

ñ
The statesman tells of the g l o r y
Of grand and godlike deeds,
And tires the heart with the story,
The listener hears and heeds;
B u t I tell of the sweetly v i r t u r e s
Of fudge the school g i r l makes,
And I see in each square a sermon
For the t e x t of p u r i t y.
The artist. paints the beauty
Of land, and s k y, and sea,
On his canvas, b y the magic
Of the brush t h a t
B u t I am a candy artist.
And paint in the school g i r l s ' way.
A picture that gives to all sweet tasting pleasure
The fudge to eat each day.

MOTTO: " W e ' v e crossed the bay, the ocean lies

On September 3, 1924, thirty-five seniors started the last year o f their beloved
career. A t the first meeting o f the year officers were elected and the class activities
year started. T h e r e were four parties listed on the senior social calendar this year. I t is hoped
that these pleasant times spent together as a class w i l l not soon be forgotten. D u r i n g the last
part of the first semester we decided to put out an annual and so we have been
ing on the project ever since.
It w i l l be interesting to note that o f the present graduating class five have
way together through the twelve grades in Union City High School.
Of the graduating class this year better than seventy-five per cent are going
institutions of learning. A s we are leaving old U. C. H . S. we only wish that we were
ginning our schooling, but we must leave and go out in the world to seek our mark. T h o u g h
the way be rough and rugged, " H e can, who thinks he can."

�Sophomore History
On September 4, 1924, about thirty students began their school l i f e as
cers were elected and a great deal o f enjoyment and school spirit has been manifested by the
class through the year. Entertainments have always gone hand i n hand w i t h work and so we
have found i t fit during the past year to have several class parties at which all work
gotten
On our social calendar this year were listed five parties o f various nature.
19, a party was held at the home o f Rena Belle Yu n t ; October 31 a t the home o f Harriet
Howard; December 19 at the home o f LaVendee A d o l p h ; January 16 at the home
trude E l y ; and February 20 a t the home o f Kenneth Lee. A l l o f these parties were w e l l
attended and refreshments, f i t f o r a k i n g t o eat, were served. W e hope that
hours spent together as a class w i l l not be forgotten soon.
Friday, A p r i l 24, a good representation o f Sophs were i n attendance a t the
Party sponsored b y the Juniors and held a t the N y e Grange H a l l . O n e o f the features o f
our Sophomore year was a debate staged by the t w o Soph English classes on the evening o f
March 5 i n the assembly room. T h e question f o r debate was, "Resolved: T h a t the country
life is more pleasant and profitable than the city life." T h e affirmative side was uplicld
Hooker, Harriet Howard, and Kenneth Dolbee, while the negative side was defended by Eula
Kahler, M a r j o r i e Cline, and Horace Crandall. T h e affirmative side w o n t h e
directly after the debate refreshments were served.

When melancholy rides the sky and fills
The distance with her dust o f gloom and doubt,
And from despair there seems no gateway out;
When the cold blast o f disappointment chills
1he green young buds o f hope and the once rosy hills
Stand gaunt, forbidding battlements, too stout
For faltering strength to master, ere i t kills
Faith in high purpose, turn your face about.
Search the great past, the pages that have gone;
Pause and reflect by some
At Valley Forge once more with Washington,
Learn what it means to suffer and be brave.
Or stand w i t h patient Lincoln and believe
That what is right, its purpose shall achieve.
—Edgar Guest

�Freshman Class of
The freshman class o f Union H i g h
We are, and proud o f it, too,
For " W e l l begun is h a l f done",
And our colors are grey and blue.
The blue is a lovely color
Which stands f o r fidelity,
For truth and the dauntless courage,
That seldom one
The grey has a silver shading
As soft as the summer sky,
Whose hue is f o r good scholarship,
So you see our marks run high.
Our motto has a splendid meaning,
For when our race is run,
We'll look back o'er the s w i f t -winged years,
When " We l l begun was half done".
Lynn Long is our worthy president,
Vice-president is Dale Swain,
Our treasurer, Gerald Worden.

Soon w i l l others take o u r place;
You would all do well to follow,
Letting freshmen set the pace.
Two parties we had in twenty-four,
And two in twenty-five:
We attended and enjoyed them.
And still we are alive.

Miss Robinson's long is past,
At Smith's was the third one given.
The H a r d Ti m e party came last.
For these and other doings
This Freshman Class is known;
We'll never f a l l by the wayside,
And say the bird has flown!

As one sits in our assembly thinking o f the victories and the defeats, o f old U . C. H . S.
it is with evidence that the victories overwhelm the defeats. A t the f r o n t o f the room there
hang seven championship banners acquired in a period o f f o u r years i n the spring sports: a l l
of which are county championships. O n e must not think o f the teams o f the present as the
only victorious ones. O u r records show that o l d U . C . H . S . has always boasted o f good
teams, teams that played a stiff schedule and won a majority o f their games.

Team Work
It's all very well to have courage and skill
And it's fine t o be counted
But the single deed with its touch o f thrill
Doesn't tell us the man you are:
For there's no lone hand in the game we play,
We must work to a
And the thing that counts i n the world to-day
Is how do you pull with the team?

The prospects f o r baseball this spring are exceedingly bright. W e lost through graduz,
tion and semester work five members o f the squad but we feel that this year's team
than last. ‘ N r e have had the good fortune o f having the battery remain intact. I n Wv,.,c1.
as pitcher, w e have a boy w i t h speed that is " h o t " . " C h u m " Lee is sure t o dev,I,,p n t
southpaw that will worry a lot of them. " C h i c " Bartlett is a catcher of three years experienc(
and this experience is sure to stand him in well.
"Tab" Eggleston is holding the position as regular first sacker f o r the first time
already proved himself capable o f the job. " D o g " Moore has been playing
for two years and as long as he can keep his eyes off the spectators and on the ball he may be
looked f o r on second. S o f a r the short stop position has been a split between Hooker and
Philo. " C a r r o t To p " Chard is holding down the third sack like a veteran.
"By" Bartlett is playing left field and the way he starts out, i t may be said that
that gets i n his reach falls i n a basket. " C h a r l e y " Anderson i n center is enough
dall in right, fill our positions. W e are much better off f o r substitutes this year and i t
said that w e have an experienced "sub" f o r every position. I n t h e games t h a t have been
played this season the boys have proved themselves to be a hitting team. T h e
the fact that U. C. H . S. has a winning team was given about the middle o f A p r i l when our
rivals, Athens, refused us games

�Trac
Although very little team w o r k has yet been done this spring, quite a number have been
taking individual practice. T h e team o f last year is gone w i t h the exception t w o relay men
and t w o point winners, leaving almost nothing in experienced men. A l t h o u g h Coach "Doke"
McCamly has not yet shown his skill i n building such a team We feel sure that i t w i l l be a
winner when completed.
It will be hard to find such men as E l y but we hope our boys w i l l come across
best. W e feel as long as the boys and girls made such a good showing last year i n bringing
home the championship Track and Relay Pennants that they should receive a word here. O u t
of a possible 144 points w e took 68. I n the dashes E l y, Case, Teeter, and Thompson took
points; in the runs Teeter, Walsworth, and Whitney; in the jumps, E l y, Case, Teeter
derson; i n the weights, H i l l . T h e relay team composed o f Walsworth, Teeter, Anderson, and
Whitney; and the basketball throw Thompson and Spencer.
Out o f the group Whitney, Anderson, Davison, and Spencer remain f o r this year's work.
Our hopes f o r this year are in such men as Eggleston, Lee and Lynn Bartlett,
ison, Gaw, 'Whitney, Hagerman, and the possibilities o f finds.
The only meet w i l l be with the county association at Davis Field held on M a y 23. T h i s
association consists o f Quincy, Bronson, Sherwood, and Union City, and i s played under the
M. I . A . A . rules. I t is hoped that soon U . C. H . S. w i l l own Davis Field, the same being
under the name o f Alumni Field.

Debatin
The renaissance o f debating as a f o r m o f public speech in the schools o f Michigan took
place in 1917 when the Michigan H i g h School Debating League was organized. P r e v i o u s t o
1917, however, f o r a generation other activities and a crowded curriculum had forced out a l l
agencies which train students in oral expression until i t seemed that pupils, like little children,
were to be seen and not heard. I n the past eight years there has been an increasing interest
shown in the high schools o f this state in public speaking until now, i n the larger
partments of speech are being introduced. T h e practical value o f the same needs no argument.
Union City H i g h School entered the State H i g h School Debating League i n 1923 and i n
the past t w o years has w o n one-half o f i t s debates each year. A n increasing interest has
been shown this year and i t is hoped that the time w i l l come when proper instruction in public
speaking can be offered in Union City H i g h School.

been organized i n December, 1924. Officers were elected and committees appointed

group in high school activities.
A definite scholastic average was one o f the requirements f o r membership and
ability t o sing. Gradually they made themselves known and were asked t o sing a t various

Prof. Foster—"This is the third time you've looked on Kindig's paper."
Chas. Anderson: "Yes, sir, he doesn't w r i t e very plainly."

Rev. C. H . Kelsey: " N o w each pupil w i l l quote a Bible verse as he drops i n his money."
John Wedel: " A fool and his money are soon parted."

Prof. .McCamly in general science class: " W h a t is the Chicago Pike?"
Tom Clark, anxiously: " A species o f pike caught out o f the Chicago drainage canal."

Miss Cross ( a f t e r reading a poem on snow) : " A s we walk out on a cold winter day and

Ross Pendill: "Gloves!"

"Clarence," she called. H e stopped that car and looked around. " I am not accustomed to

"Drive on, Clarence."

Betty, f a i r as heather rose,
Never lacks f o r handsome beaux;
Though they shun the other dames
They take her to the baseball games.
When the other girls say,
"Baseball! H o w d'yuh get that way?"
She smiles shrewdly, "Well,
Diamonds always interest me."

�JOKES—Continued
Gossip is due to the fact that the world contains more talkers than thinkers.

"Say, what keeps us f r o m falling o ff the earth when we are upside down?" asked Dale
of P r o f . McCamly.
"Why the law o f gravity, o f course." responded the prof.
"But how did folks stay on before the law was passed?"

There's a f r u i t -grower u p near Hodunk. who is putting his t w o children i n the Abscota
summer school. J u s t a few days after they had been enrolled a book agent called on him and
said, " N o w that your children are going to school, you ought t o buy them an encyclopedia."
"Encyclopedia? B e darned i f I d o ! L e t 'em walk like I did," was the retort.

Give but little advice and applaud freely i f you would be popular.

"Now suppose," said the official w h o was examining the chap who wanted t o be
guard. "that a girl went in over her head and couldn't swim. A f t e r rescuing and reviving her,
what would you do?"
"Get her a vanity case," replied the applicant.

The f a t widow's chances f o r marrying again are slim.

Humor i s something funny. W i t i s humor t h a t f e w f o l k s understand. P h i l o s o p h y is
humor that nobody understands. L i f e taken lightly is humorous: taken seriously i t is murder.
I f I sell this paragraph, i t is humor. I f I don't i t is philosophy.

A bargain is a bargain—even i f the other girl gets it.

Union C i t y has f o r many years been w i t e d f o r t h e excellence o f i t s educational
,Allich had its beginning soon a f t e r the organieation o f the township
The f i r s t school-hou•e was built in ls37. I t was a frame structure, painted red
on the corner of Ellen and Ann Streets east o f the present M . E . elmrch. ' l i d s huilding housed
the youngsters o f the l i t t l e hamlet on week days and there on Sundays they went w i t h their
parents t o church, the building being used b y t h e Methodist and Congregational societies on
alternate Sundays f o r t h e i r religious meetings.
The next temple o f learning, a two story frame building, was built in the A ' s . I t occupied
the site o f the present building, and, w i t h the increase o f the school population, was added t o
until as a f o r m e r teacher facetiously remarked, " I t had f o u r stories, three o f them o n t h e
ground."
In 1l477 the present b r i c k building was b u i l t a t a cost o f $25,000. I t was considered a
model o f elegance and u t i l i t y i n those days hilt is fast la-couting inadequate t o present

HORACE C R A N D A L L
Two score and seven years ago our predecessors brought f o r t h in this school a new order
known as Freshmen and dedicated t o the search f o r Eternal Knowledge. W e are
gaged in a great strife f o r that Knowledge; testing whether that class o r any other class, so
conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. W e have come t o dedicate a portion o f o u r
lives as the final step toward the achievement o f
I t is all together f i t t i n g and proper that we should do this; b u t i n a larger sense
not dedicate, we can not concentrate, w e can n o t absorb t h a t knowledge. O u r
decessors living and dead have encompassed i t f a r above o u r poor power t o add o r detract.
This school w i l l l i t t l e note, n o r long remember what I say here; b u t i t w i l l never forget
what they d i d here. I t is f o r us now as Juniors, t o dedicate the remaining portion o f o u r
school l i f e to the great task remaining before us.
But before we take up this great undertaking, let us pause f o r a moment and recall •onie
of the more pleasing o f our experiences o f the past two and one half years since we entered
t hi, school as Freshmen.
C A N TO F I R S T
I t was on a balmy M a y morning about the f o u r t h day o f September i n the year o f our
Lord 1923, that about thirty pupils entered these portals and were thereby declared Freshmen.
Thereafter f o r f o u r long years t o he p u t t o work a t hard mental labor, on a diet o f History.
Algebra, and English, with either L a t i n o r General Science as a dessert. A t least there were
the orders we received t o be carried o u t the
I w i l l n o t t r y here t o describe the trials and troubles o f that year b u t w i l l endeavor t o
bring t o l i g h t the more pleasing incidents.
Sometime about the twentieth o f t h a t same September, as I remember, a class meeting
was called and the class officers were elected. T h e y were: President, Richard
President, Wa l t e r Philo; Secretary and Treasurer, Eula Kidder.
Having this o f f our minds we decided t o indulge in a few revelries i n the f o r m o f class
parties. W e therefore appointed the following as victims o f our choice: L a Vendee Adolph,
Marjorie Cline, L u c i l l e H a n n a , a n d M a l i k . B r o w n . P a r t i e s were accordingly h e l d a t t h e
respective homes o f these pupils and some very good and well-to-be-remembered times ensued.
In athletics, as i n many Freshmen classes, not much was accomplished. O n e o r t w o o f
the fellows succeeded i n making the scrub teams b u t i n general there was n o t much enacted
in t h i s time.
There were few pupils who dropped o u t o f the class during the Freshmen year
dicated the high average o f the class as a whole.
So ended o u r Freshmen year with nearly the same t h i r t y pupils t h a t the preceding f a l l
had ushered into old U . C. H . S., now graduating into f u l l fledged Sophomores when
they would again enter the wide portals o f the Birthplace o f Knowledge.
C A N TO S E C O N D
This time i t was a wintry December day about the second o f September, that i n the near
vicinity o f t h i r t y pupils again marched u p t h e great stone steps which lead t o the door o f
Eternal Knowledge.
This year as before we gathered together to select the leaders f o r the term. T h e y were:
Pre:ident, Kenneth I.ee; Vice-President, Nlarjorie Brooks; Secretary and Treasurer, Gertrude
Fly
Having had such good l u c k w i t h t h e festivities o f the preceding year, we planned a n
rqually active time f o r this year. A c c o r d i n g l y, parties o f a very enjoyable nature were held
at the homes o f the following: Rena Belle Yu n t , H a r r i e t Howard, LaVendee
trude E l y, and Kenneth Lee; also a school p a r t y a t the Nye Grange H a l l sponsored
iors. A n o t h e r special was the debate between the t w o English classes. Q u e s t i o n : "Resolved
that country life is more pleasant and profitable than city life." T h e affirmative
off the honors. Refreshments were afterwards served and a j o l l y time enjoyed b y all.
Several pupils were forced f o r various reasons t o leave school d u r i n g the year,
though they were greatly missed by their classmates, the class was kept moving
ly towards i t s destination.
Athletics began t o pick u p this year. I n football, letters were won b y Hooker, Crandall,
Kenyon, and Dolbee and i n baseball b y Hooker, Crandall, Kenyon, Dolhee, Philo, and Lee.
With the closing of the baseball season came the much-looked forward-to
ly the same "bunch" as the f a l l before had entered as Sophomores, was now "turned loose"
to be "gathered i n " the next f a l l as real honest-to-goodness Juniors.

�Fords to Florida
By
1(0W 1.1N E D E N N
On September second, 1924, a caravan o f f i f t y F o r d s gathered a t Union City f o r
lap o f a four-year to u r t.) Florida. A t nine o'clo..k the drivers cranked their Fords
tled out o f town w i t h Miss Cross as guide. W e were all greenhorn.. unused t o the ‘N.y.s a t
road and camp, but despite this most o f us enjoyed the t r i p .
One night when the drivers were gathered about the campfire we d u i . , 'cifLong .alias Shorty, was elected camp president; Dale Swain, vice-presid i i : W o r d r n .
secretary and treasurer.
Every month the Fords were given the once over b y the mechanics we brought w i t h us.
Sometimes they proved sound; sometimes they d i d n o t .
One night we halted at the Community Grange H a l l and enjoyed a Hallowe'en p a r t y, our
guide and mechanic, Miss Butzer, attending. C i d e r a n d doughnuts were served
ments
One day Glen Baylis mired his Ford so deep in the mud that we were forced t o go on w i t
out him.
November 18th, after halting f o r the night, Eva Robinson hailed the other drivers and by
the flames o f her crackling campfire had our second party, with a picnic supper.
and Miss Sheldon dropped their tools long enough t o come also.
Next came Christmas a n d t h e severe semi-final engine t e s t f o r the
rallied a t the call o f our guide t o continue our journey we discovered that a new F o r d driven
by Mabel Smith had joined us.
Two weeks later the Fords o f Letha M a u r e r and Neuma Reneh collided o n a mountmiii
pass. W e pitched the wreckage over the c l i f f and l e f t i t there.
The 14th o f February Mabel Smith invited her fellow travelers into her camp f o r a V i i
entine p a r t y. Refreshments were ,jello and wafers. A l l t h e mechanics were cleaning spark
plugs and could n o t come.
Carl Washburn's car was lost in quicksand one day when we attempted t o ford a river.
In the f i r s t o f March we pulled w i t h another p a r t y on the second l a p o f a
ney long enough to give a mock wedding at the Methodist church. L u c i l l e Hannah, a stranger.
was picked to be groom and I r m a Brunson, one o f our own drivers, as bride, while our guide
tied the knot.
Then came the eatastroohe o f David and Lucille Moore. B a n d i t s held them up, ran o f f
with their Fords and forced them t o go home broke.
Next, Gerald Worden drove his car over an embankment and fell into the river.
On A p r i l 5th we came t o an o l d f a r m house which we recognized as an ideal place f o r
another party. Refreshments were popcorn and candy. M i s s Sheldon, Miss Butzer, and Miss
Steele, a l l mechanics attended t o f r i g h t e n t h e ghosts away.
In May a track m e e t was held near us and we entered two athletes, Margaret Smith and
Rowene Dennison.
Last came the final engine test f o r the Fords after which we were given a rest
months. W e spent the time in the same camp on the banks o f the River o f Life.
September 8 t h we f i l l e d t a n k a n d radiator and stood ready f o r t h e second l a p
journey. M i s s Butzer. former mechanic, was chosen as road guide this time. O u r
ficers were: Richard Weeks, president; Margaret Glew, vice-president; A r t h u r
tary and treasurer.
There were b u t thirty-six o f us now. L o o k i n g around u s w e saw t h a t s i x F o r d s were
missing whose owners were Thomas Clark, Maurice Crandall, 'Winnifred Bell,
bury, Lewis K a t z , and L o l a Dibble. O u r o l d treasurer, Gerald Worden, was hack again.
'R lllll or said t h a t sonic-one had fished h i m o u t o f the r i v e r w i t h a hook and sent him
road again.
Over Rosie Renshaw's quiet campfire w e had a second Hallowe'en p a r t y.
guide added t o the fun.
The F o r d engine tests d i d n o t prove t o be as discouraging this year.
With the aid o f our guide we picked. two casts o f characters and presented t w o acts o f
"The Merchant o f Venice." T h e best cast was given a party a t the Community Grange H a l l .
Refreshments proved t o be rather scarce—a few sandwiches and a can o f beans.
The F o r d driven Icy L o i s James suffered a punctured tire and we left her by the road
trying t o
With this incident the second l a p o f our journey is over and we are looking forward t o
the third, our hearts singing the song o f the road t o the tune o f maiquito: in the Everglades.

�Freshmen History
On the t i g h t h o f September we, forty-one pupils,
Began o u r Freshman year,
With zeal and ambition we started o u r work
Without one might o f fear.
On the fourteenth o f September we called a meeting
To organize o u r class.
For leader we chose Miss Steele, a good and lively teacher,
And f o r our president gay, A r t h u r Arbogast.
For our rice-president we chose Philo Ashley,
" B i l l " Hollinger, our secretary;
Then we made Lewis K a t z o u r treasurer, and derided
Soon t o have a p a r t y merry.
Of three happy parties ran Ye . Freshmen, boast.
For good games and lots t o eat
Along with a j o l l y crowd like ire Freshmen are
Make one's happiness complete.
Many interesting events happened daring the year.
And one we'll always remember.
That one was the Freshmen-Senior football game.
Which happened i n November.
The Seniors told f o r weeks how they would win the game,
While the Freshmen j u s t prepared.
But when the game was h a l f -over and we were f a r ahead,
They saw j u s t h o w t h e y fared.
When the f i g h t was ended the score was tweley-sir
In f a v o r o f o u r boys,
And those Seniors were so blue and mad
That they could hardly keep t h e i r poise.
We were sorry when seren o f our classmates l e f t us,
But we couldn't make them stay,
So glad me were when three others came t o cheer as,
And here's hopin' they don't go away.
Among those 'who l e f t us ma* friendly " B i l l , " o u r secretary.
Now who should take his place?
That was a n•qc problem as hard t o solre as Algebra
Which w e p u p i l s had t o fare.
Then a meeting was held t o choose h i s successor.
'neonld be a boy all knew.
For who else has the amb1li9n to do all the work.
And the mental ability too?
So, sure enough, when the rotes were counted 'twos he,
Ross Pendill by name
Who accepted the office with a l l that
Don't yore think he
As that's (emut the last thing that has happened
There's nothing more to tell
Only that we're had a fine lino( lb spite
And we hope all Freshmen will do as well.
—Reda Smith.

Footbal
Union C i t y started the football season with the h . . o f eight men who had been
spring o f a winning team in previous years. T h e backfield was new and there
and difficulties t h a t caused t h e loss o f Joe Offenbecker and
Just ten days a f t e r the enrollment, we journeyed t o Athens t o battle t h a t ancient r i v a l
in the s p i r i t that w i l l always be a distinguished one. I t was a b o n g battle b u t fought w i t h
a Vitt] that has ever been, and is hoped always w i l l be, a characteristic o f U . C. H.S.
It is needless t o say t h a t a l l games were played i n a l i k e manner, a n d though w e can
not claim as many victories as we wetild j o l l y well l i k e to, we are looking ahead t o
perous season with the loss o f but two linmen.
We wish to thank our many sideline friends who were loyal to our efforts, and put u p w
inari a f l u k e a n d f o l l y. But winning in football involves winning the respect and
the public, and a victory over on'es self that he may p r o f i t b y the lessons taught on
where i t takes men o f pluck and spirit t o f i g h t w i t h unity and
"Such is the glory o f winning, f o r even the winner in any walk o f life has troubles.- B u t
the lesson i n football is an important one f o r all who wish t o p r o f i t b y i t . W i n n i n g
everything, and i t is better to have played the game squarely and lost than t o have won a t the
sacrifice

Baseb
The baseball team o f this year started w i t h a group o f inexperienced fellows t o occupy
the position', l e f t b y o u r veterans.
Among these fellows were o u r fielders a n d baseman, A r t h u r Arbogast,
.Joe Offenbecker, Weed K e n v o n a n d M a t t h e w M e r g l . W e e d K e n y o n proved t o t h e t e a m
that they surely needed a t a l l fellow on f i r s t base while Joe Offenbecker,
Walter Philo, and Matthew M e r g l changed o f f o n po•-itions i n t h e early p a r t o f t h e year.
They soon settled down and played b r i l l i a n t parts all t h e season.
Among o u r veterans were Captain Hooker, Wa r d Wesiel, Ly l e Chard, Horace Crandall,
and Wa l t e r Philo a l l o f whom the team relied on a greater p a r t o f the season.
This year, as i n the past years, U n i o n C i t y H i g h School played f o r t h e championship
on F i e l d D a y. O u r teams have been eliminated o n l y once f r o m participating on F i e l d D a y
-ince the Branch County A t h l e t i c Association was organized.
This same group o f fellows are looking forward f o r a chatupion:hip team next year.

Debatin
Interest i n debate a n d o r a t o r y i n t h e schools o f :11ichigan increases year by year a.
shown by the increasing number o f schools taking part and also the larger attendance a t t h t
final debate at Ann Arbor. I n some o f the smaller places which succeeded in entering
finals, spirit ran high and teams were accompanied t o distant forums by
ers. T h i s is a healthy symptom; as, in the writer's opinion, n ) other extra-cu rrieular aetivit)
yields greater dividends t o the participant.
Union City was somewhat handicapped in debating this year due t o keen competition and
the fact that new teams had t o be developed f r o m inexperienced nwinhers. A s a result, oar
teams were n o t quite as successful a s i n f o r m e r years, although they were better t r a i n
thanks to Miss Nelthorpe. O u r debate schedule follows:

The H i g h Schcol Orchestra o f '25-'26 started in as a continuation o f the organization front
the previous year. H o w e v e r , orchestrations were new t o the people. A g r e a t
shown i n the orchtstra h y the willingness o f the members t o always have extra praetice.
much credit i d u e t o the organ'zatian f o r the spirit t h a t was shown. B y Novemher 11, they
were ready t o appear in putiB• and d i d sa a t the . ‘ r m i d i c e Ony program. A f t e r that they
played at a windier o f places—the .e ineluded: Burlinzton C immunity Chili; Sherwood, Fath.•
and Sons Banquet; N y e Grary.le H a l l ; Masonic H a l l : Woodman H a l l : and
mentx
On Nlay 13, the orchestra entered the State Contest a t KilltiM/11.10), where they competed
with tfrie counties. T h e set piece was "Marche M i l i t a i r r " b y Shubert, a rather
ber f o r such small instrumentation B u t the orcheitra was placed third, which we considered
vrry good i n comparison with the f o r t y and f i f t y piece orchestras o f other scholvls
they competed.

�Girls' Glee Club
The Girls' Glee Club vvas organized the third NV ek o f school when the
were elected: President, Ruth Nlo:ire; Secretary and Treasurer, Genevieve Smith T h r e e part
work was started immediately. and the girls made their first appeararwe at
entertainment i n t h e Congregational church. O t h e r occasions a t which t h e y a n d u r i n • 1
the year were Women's Tuesday Club, Debate, Nye Grange, and at the Colonial Entertainment.
On M a y thirteenth, twelve o f the Glee Chili girls were selected t o enter the state music
c,intest at Kalamazoo, where they placed second, competing with thirteen counties. T h e fourth

was neces-ary t o start i n a t the very beginn. ng. A f t e r the interest in mu•ic had been aroused
by unison songs such as "'linkers Song" f r o m Rohin H w a l and "Soldiers' Chorus- f r o m Faust,
the boys -tarted on t w o p a r t work learning ' T h e Sea" by IFindel. L a t e r they d i d t w o three

Much interest was shown by the hoys con .idering the conflict due to athletics

�"Speediti
(Toast given by Hubert E . Bell, Class of 1894 at the Alumni reunion held June 20, 1924.)
"Speeditis" is what ails the " D E A R G E N E R A L P U B L I C " when the D . G . P. doesn't
know W H A T ails it. I t is the disease that causes the public to rush madly from the plact
where it I S to the place where it A I N ' T, in search of that which i t thinks i t wants, but which
it soon wishes to blazes it didn't have. I t is that which explains why the Dear General Public
went courting day before yesterday, got married yesterday, and got a divorce today.
Speeditis is the B I G U N R E S T which has attacked our "body politic", and which
pression in symptoms which are many and various.
In the treatment o f this disease, numerous remedies have been tried; but—as the learned
Doctors would say—"the speeditis hug has not been definitely isolated as yet, and
ment o f this obscure malady is still in the experimental stage."
A f e w years ago the dentists and M . D.'s called a council o f Doctors. T h e y examined
the patient, took an X - r a y photograph, and ordered that the Public's teeth should be pulled.
One kind old lady who had not yet heard this decision, went to her family doctor for advice.
After the preliminaries were over, the doctor said: "Well, Auntie, your symptoms are very
pronounced; the F I R S T thing to he done is to remove all your teeth." " V e r y well, Doctor,"
replied Auntie, handing him both upper and lower plates, "here they be; now what's N E X T ? "
Soon events proved that not all the ills to which human flesh is heir were due
tooth sockets and diseased tonsils. I n the course o f time, a full-fledged epidemic
dicitis appeared, and now the aforesaid General Public rushed with all speed to the operating
table to have its appendix removed. S o o n thereafter, the ladies o f our Sewing Circles and
Wednesday Clubs were bringing their "appendices" t o the club meetings i n bottles f o r the
purposes o f comparison and differentiation.
But still, the abnormal symptoms persisted; the Public's pulse was still rapid; so other
remedies must be tried out. A n d so i t came t o pass that our vertebrae were yanked into
place, and our spinal columns stiffened up a b i t ; the f a t were taught to "reduce to music",
the lean were taught t o "fletcherize," and our yeast factories were forced t o
to supply the demand f o r vitamines.
But alas, alas, the Psycho-analysts began t o work on the problem. T h e y soon made i t
plain (to themselves) that what ailed the General Public was not organic disease. T h e trouble
was in our "think tanks." W h a t we ne:Aed was amusement, diversion, recreation, and
tinual series of new sen,ations and thrills. S o our dance halls were put on the 24ule, our vaudevilles, theatres and movies were pressed into the service; and thrills were hand.
ed t o the Patient until he yelled f o r shock absorbers.
Then when nerves were on the ragged edge, and lines o f dissipation began to appear, the
B E A U T Y n o c r o n s undertook t o save our women folk. " W h a t you need," said they, "is
dress reform and some skillful camouflage. D i s c a r d your corsets, shorten your
the sleeves from your gowns, build your blouses with a B A C K exposure; paint up ('Save the
surface, and you save a l l ' ) ; take that schoolgirl complexion with you wherever you go, and
whenever you chance to be in a public place, dab your noie, and rouge up. C u t off your hair.
and pull out your eyebrows; buy yourselves some cigarettes, connect with some trustworth
bootlegger, grab a walking stick, and- 1 ) a l l means—learn to spit through your teeth."
But—by the S H A DES I M NIORTAL— it seems that the B E A U T Y DOCTOR overdid it
Nlere man i beginning to wonder "%V Il.%T N E X T " ? I t may be necessary t o call upon tb••
present Congress to " I N V E s Ti G AT E " this situation. . % thorough " P R O B E " by that august
body might result i n the isolation o f the speeditis bug. A n d then—if President Coolidgc
-houldn't veto it—it would lie up to the World Court to take action on it.

Helen: Good morning.
Irene: W h a t a r e y o u doing?
Helen: I ' m working i n m y garden o f memories. I ' m planting a f l o w e r f o r each
our class o f '26. Y o u belong t o o u r class, why don't you help me?
Irene: Surely, I was j u s t wishing I had something t o do, b u t what have you planted?
Helen: H e r e are For-get-me-nats and this Rose, they are f o r Marion and Ruth, who started
in the f i r s t grade in this
Irene: Marion was so wistful, and Ruth was always so jolly wasn't she? D o you remember how
Mr. McCamly could hardly p u t u p w i t h you two? O h t h a t reminds me, R u t h was Vi c e President o f o u r Freshmen class, Secretary a n d Treasurer o f o u r Sophomore class, and
Treasurer the t h i r d year.
Helen: This Daisy is f o r Eunice who entered i n the sixth grade. O t t o and F r e d Smith joined
us next, so I have planted a bittersweet f o r O t t o and a Dandelion f o r Fred. as I thought
it suited them best.
Irene: I believe O t t o was E d i t o r -in-Chief o f o u r Les Nlemoires wasn't he? W e had lots o f
trouble publishing that Annual didn't we? B u t i t was fine when completed.
and Marguerite come t o us j u s t a fter that?
Helen: Yes, and I have planted a violet and L i l y - o f -the-Valley f o r them. T h e s e t w o flowers
are so shy and sweet. D o n ' t you remember that sales campaign and party at Marguerite's?
Irene: Yes, didn't we have a wonderful time? Z e n a was rr-xt, you must have planted a Ti g e r
L i l y f o r her, you know i t would be such a p r e t t y match f o r her hair, and
Helen: Yes, that is exactly what I planted. (Sigh.) N o w here we are t o o u r Freshman year,
there were several o f us entered a t that time. I ' m going t o make one b i g garden
year. W h o shall w e begin w i t h ?
Irene: Oh, let's begin with Gula, she was Valedirtorian o f our dais, because o f t h a t we ought
to plant a Star of Bethlehem f o r her. S h e was always one o f the kind that you could not
flatter. S h e was Vice -President o f our Senior year and Secretary o f our Junior
Helen: I know what we'll do, we'll plant a Tu l i p f o r A r t h u r and Elvetta M y ! that romance
grew u p very suddenly in our Senior year. T h e y were a fine pair, weren't they?
always thought so much of them, too.
Irene: Yes, and i f E l v e t t a wanted h i m t a , he would t a k e the whole school t o so-ial a ff a i r s
Take f o r instan:1- t h e ball game a t Quincy. ( t h i n k . ) Suppose we p l a n t a B l u e -Bell bp!
Willard A d o l p h i n honor o f Rena Belle, we'll p l a n t i t r i g h t here beside A r t h u r
vetta. T h e r e , that's fine.
Helen: Then Gerald who was President of our Junior and Senior years. I l e was the all around
Athlete o f the county i n both his Junior and Senior years. L e t me see! Didn't he have a
nickname?
Irene: Yes, Rev.
Helen: Then why n o t plant a Jark-in-the-Pulpit for him? V i r g i n i a M i l l e r entered t h a t year
too, d i d n ' t she?
Irene: Yes, and I believe a Lady Slipper would he appropriate for her. I wonder i f she is a stage
dancer by this time? Yo u know that was her ambition. (Sigh.) . A s I was walking through
reminded me o f Lillian, why n o t p l a n t t h a t
the fields t h e other day I saw a
for her?

�Helen: Yes! and wasn't she one of George Gaw's specials? I had decided t o plant
Box flower for him and Rex. T h e y always did their bit toward entertaining
bors
Irene: Do you remember how reserved Vesta Mae used to be? B u t we all liked her. W e will
plant an Aster for her. ( ) m a r was sort of sedate too, he put in my memory book that his
utmo,t desire was to be a minister, so I think that an Elder Berry would be best.
Helen: Wilbur, the "sheik" o f our class, was the one who took Rov.,ene Dennison from Omar.
(Sigh.) H e was much noted f o r his ability along such lines. W e ' l l plant Honeysuckle
for him, they're so sweet you know. E v e r e t t and Wayne were the ILIA hut not least to
enter with us in the Freshmen year. T h e only thing I can think of that would be suitable
is a Bachelor Button.
Irene (Wandering over to the bench and sitting down): Where did we have our
Wasn't i t a t Everett's? ( T h i n k i n g . ) N o , i t was a t I ' . S. Robinson's and we all had a
good time, as f a r as I can remember, and then the next one was a sleigh ride party, I
believ
Helen: Yes, and there was one a t the Methodist church. G e o r g e G a w was President that
year, and Ruth was Vice-President, then LaMoin was Secretary and Treasurer,
dropped into Matrimony. J o h n Wedel a n d Louise O'Dell entered w i t h us, and they
rushed on ahead, so graduated with the class o f '25.
Irene: Now we come to the Sophomore year, but I don't think that we had any additions or
subtractions. D o you? I believe Louise was President and Vivian Vice-President. Louise
had a party, but I don't know much about it because I wasn't there, neither do
ber about LaMoin's. ( T h i n k . ) I t was i n the year 1924 that Vivian left us wasn't it?
Then she went t o Battle Creek Business College.
Helen: Oh, yes! and at the end of the year we had a picnic a t Maddison Lake. I t was a very
cold day but we had a nice time. I ' m sure that they were all the interesting events o f
our Sophomore year. T h e n our Junior year was most eventful. B u t say, (getting up),
we had better get to work. Y o u know we have not planted flowers f o r the
united with us then. Seems to me Katherine came from Missouri to us. What about a Wake
Robin f o r her, she was always so cheerful.
Irene: Then George Gourley came from Indiana, we'll plant a Cowslip f o r him because we
knew he would turn into a prosperous farmer and dairyman. N o w comes the Burlington
couple. I believe Marjorie was one of them, I think a Wind Flower would be best suited
to her. S h e was Valedictorian of her class at Burlington, and why not a
ton for Leo, he had
Helen (both sitting down): Don't you remember the good times we had in our Junior year?
We had a good time at your party didn't we? B u t we had the best time of all practicing
our Junior play. I t was hard work practicing night after night hut I believe we all had
some very enjoyable evenings. W a s n ' t that a wonderful play, the name o f i t was
gaged by Wednesday." I believe the best character i n i t was Martin Henry, Lawrenec
Ohnstead, the laziest man i n the country.
Irene: Yes, yes, i t was all very nice hut we must hasten, as we have Marie and Nina yet to
plant
Helen: Oh! that's right.
Irene: I see just one place to put them, and that's right over in the corner. W e ' l l add clover,
They were so unobtrusive. N o w our Senior year is finished. T h e r e ! that's

In behalf o f m y client, the Class o f 1926 o f Union C i t y H i g h School, I have called you

from her dying hand the few g i f t s t h a t she has t o bestow i n her last moments. A s a result
of this announcement, a wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading among her friends
for this o r t h a t so long coveted g l o r y ; b u t she has tried t o be just, as well as generous and
impartial, and distribute wisely u n t o tho,e who w i l l make the best use o f such g i f t s as she
has i n her power t o bestow. O w i n g t o the f l i g h t y condition o f h e r brain a n d

been mistaken i n her inventory; b u t such things as she thinks she has, she hereby gives into
your possession, praying that you w i l l accept them as a sacred t r u s t f r o m one who has gone
before. L i s t e n , then, one and all, while I read the document as duly drawn u p and sworn to:

There is i n America a national impulse called .‘merieanization b u t i t acquired
alization hefore i t had become specifie. I t was subjected t o organization a n d

acquired b y h e r nationals and t o regard such persons as having severed t h e i r allegiance t o
their native country b u t the United States was not one o f the signatory powers.
In a l l notices t o citizens o f foreign b i r t h returning t o the country o f their nativity the
State Department tacitly admits that the American Government is powerless t o protect such
citizens f r o m punishment i n the countries they have formerly renounced.
Thus i t is t h a t a naturalized citizen born i n a country w i t h which we have
ation treaty i s not a citizen.
Why does the United States then, as a nation, insist o r coerce the immigrants t o accept
a citizenship which cannot protect them?
Large employers i n Pennsylvania and other states as well, specify in their advertisement,
for workmen t h a t no unnaturalized citizens need apply.
Politicians who want ignorant and cheap votes, round u p the unnaturalized citizens ano
rush them through the naturalization courts so as t o obtain t h e i r votes w i t h n o thought o f
American citizenship. T h u s have o u r hyphenated-citizens been made w i t h no thought
fare t o the country but what the country can give them in mere dollars.
The American melting pot, i f there was one, has become a saturated solution f u l l
soluble lumps. I n large cities, there are Polish settlements which have their own
duct church services i n t h e i r own tongue and l i v e quite a p a r t f r o m American thought and
happenings. O n e Polish lump made this statement. " P o l e s we are and Poles this generation
will remain. Y o u cannot Americanize the f i r s t generation o f immigrants. T h e y
get t h e i r traditions n o r change their language. T h e second generation has n o country, boys
grow u p lawless. despising their ignorant parents but with no more conception o f
ica really stands f o r than t h e i r parents have. F r o m this class comes t h e m a j o r i t y o f o u r
youthful bandits and desperados. T h e t h i r d generation m a y produce good citizens through
the agency o f the public school b u t much depends upon the intelligence o f the grandparents
and the environment o f the grandson."
Another effect o f the de-Americanizing process a t work i n this country is visible in o u r
changing f o r m o f government. W e were a representative democracy. W e a r e becoming a
pure democracy.
The aspirations o f the men o f 1776 were satisfied w i t h the assurance o f life,
the pursuit o f happiness. I t was l e f t t o later generations t o discover that happiness can be
pursued only through the ballot box.
A radical restriction o f immigrants is the f i r s t p a r t o f the curative prescription
restoration o f the body politic t o health requires in addition, the drastic remedy o f a greatly
restricted naturalization. N o immigrants from a country with whom we have no treaty should
be permitted t o become a voting citizen and every immigrant f r o m a n y country should b e
required t o show wherein he has been o f actual service t o this country before being granted
the boon o f citizenship.
No other country coerces alien residents t o become citizens. T h o u s a n d s o f American,
spend their lives i n England, France, I t a l y, China, Japan, and no attempt is made t o divert
their allegiance from the nited States. A man who desires t o be a British subject must shou
very good and sufficient reasons f o r his desire t o renounce his
The man who is n o t able t o write n o r read his own ballot is found t o depend upon the
honor o f the watcher a t the polls who gives assistance. B y requiring a n
ification f o r the franchise will no doubt help
There is but one real way t o Americanize and that is f o r every American t o understand
the ideals of America and be able to interpret them in every act o f his daily life. I n the future
American ideals have to be both more exalted and more practical than in the past. W h e n all
Americans both born and naturalized begin t o live u p t o common ideals, then and then only,
will the hyphenated citizen o f America cease t o exist.

represents years o f painstaking e ff o r t and unflagging zeal, on y o u r p a r t , t o attain
viable position.
We would t h a t you could p r o f i t b y our mistakes, f o r they have been many. I f
but realize that each moment foolishly spent may Mean an embarrassing situation in the future
then w e are sure t h a t y o u would t a k e every opportunity o f improvin7 y o u r education a n d
knowledge o f l i f e and i t s o f t -times perplexing probh ms. I f the example set b y us has been
or will tw o f any aid t o you i n avoiding the p i t f a l l , which so easily be:et youth, then we shall
feel t h a t we have accomplished sonic good towards others along w i t h o u r acquirements o f
knowledge, f o r,
"Sow I bIllight reap an trelian;
Sow an (idiot, reap et habil
Sow a habil reap a diameter;
Sam vi eharaeler reap a deiliny!"
.‘nd now i n behalf of the Seniors, I give to you, the President o f the Junior cla—
blem o f authority hoping that y o u may be deserving o f the name Senior and t h a t
carry on the traditions and s p i r i t o f Union C i t y H i g h School.

And now once more on a nice fall day about the third o f September some thirty odd
pupils presented themselves to be welcomed into the Chamber of Eternal Knowledge.
To start the year o f f right a full staff o f officers were elected. T h e y
Eli Hooker; V i c e -President, Horace Crandall; Secretary, E u l a Kahler; Treasurer, Wi l m a
Olmstead. S o r r y t o say our genial President was forced t o drop school a few weeks after
his election and the Vice-President was left in charge. Although he later returned
he did not claim his Royal Office.
Through some mistake o f the officers in charge o f the Social Calendar for the
few parties have been held. T h e r e has been only one to date, and that a t Marjorie Cline's
on the same night o f the fire a t Athens when the school house was partly
Although the parties have been scarce a very busy time was reported by all the Juniors.
The Junior play, "When the Clock Strikes Twelve," w a i given March 25-26 with only three
weeks of practice. A n d I f o r one, will vouch for the business o f
As yet only two Juniors have dropped school and by good luck they have been permitted
to return.
In athletics this year the Juniors played their part very creditably indeed. I n football,
Crandall, Hooker, Dolbee, Lee, and Kenyon received their letters and in baseball, Crandall,
Hooker, Lee, Kenyon, and Philo have promised to "pluck" theirs again.
Although i t is getting harder to keep up with all the activities o f a peppy Junior cla,,
like ours, most of the class is making the grade very well. I f they continue the remainder
of the year as they are doing now they will make a fine showing for a Senior class
CANTO F O U R T H
Canto fourth o f this History o f the class o f twenty-seven will not be presented i n this
issue of Les Memoires, but will have to wait until another year has passed, in which we hope
to prove our ability t o cop successfully with the dangers that are constantly threatening the
life o f a Senior.
In closing we wish t o express o u r appreciation o f the work which the SeWor class o f
twenty-six has so successfully executed i n the preparation o f another volume o f

Dedicatio
To Marion R. Nelthorpe, whose ambition and "pep"
have carried us over many o f the "bumps" o f our High
School career with scarce-felt jar, and to a Friend and
Advisor whom w e w i l l remember f o r many a day, we
dedicate this Volume o f " L e s Memoires." M a y we i n
our quest f o r the better things o f l i f e forget not those
who were instrumental in creating within us this desire
for these better things, and may they in turn forget not
those whom they have lead thus f a r so w e l l towards
that ever-receding form
"Success"

In the above lines, as our eye passes quickly over them, we notice three words: "Board
of Education." O n e fleeting thought and o u r mind reverts to other subjects.
this be the case? L e t us leave f o r the moment the general trend and drop a f e w words
of praise where i t belongs.
The Board o f Education, "The Foundation" might perhaps be a better name, f o r that
is w h a t i t i s , t h e foundation o f o u r House o f Knowledge w h i c h m a y g r o w i n t o
scraper. B u t i f our foundation is weak, what o f our house—will i t then grow into
stantial skyscraper?
And yet, h o w m a n y o f u s when viewing these skyscrapers, give a thought t o t h e i r
foundation? M u c h t h e same i s o u r School Board. T h e i r w o r k i s carried o u t w i t h a
precision which shines f r o m every window o f the O l d School and yet are they thought o f
in connection with its progress. Occasionally—yes- - b u t only i n moments like this.
However this may be, i t is, and has been, o u r good fortune t o have o n t h i s Board
officers o f foresight and intelligence who have made i t a point to see that
aid to education and every need was quickly and substantially provided f o r.
Proof o f this may be had b y reviewing the past record o f o u r school. I t has been
continuously on the Approved L i s t o f the University o f Michigan since 1892.
In 1877 the present school building was erected. A t this time i t was considered the
best in its field. B u t times have c a n g e d . T h e requirements are f a s t climbing
facilities. T h e urgent need i s f o r a n e w and improved building t o take care o f
creased demand f o r room and equipment.
It is our sincerest wish that this need w i l l soon be realized b y the public and that i n
the near future Union C i t y can boast o f a modern and up-to-date school building, t o be
the envy o f the surrounding communities.

We freshmen all started in Union High School
With hearts t h a t were filled w i t h
to rule.
Oh, did we feel funny? Self-conscious were
we
Lack o f bow ties made u s cowards w h o flee
From seniors, the dignified people
A high place o f honor to boast o f their creed.
Our president was Shorty, our vice was Dale
Swain.
Interest i n class affairs they did not feign.
Gerald, the boy with a smile f o r each one,
Held a l l other offices under
Our very first party was held at
It really was good, yes, the doughnuts and all.
The name o f Glen Baylis is missed from o u r
roll,
And now we are minus one really good soul.
A party was held at Miss Robinson's "Post."
We'll speak f o r ourselves, w e enjoyed i t a t
most.
A n e w one has joined us, her name's Mable
Smith.
We hope she's a n athlete as o u r need i s n o
myth.
Leitha and Neuman have left us alone.
We n e e d some n e w members t h i s l o s s t o
atone
Miss Smith, our new member, has thrown u s
a party,
Our laughs o f enjoyment were certainly
hearty.
Bashful C a r l Washburn has l e f t us, we sec,
We're sorry, but learned that it just had to be.
We had a mock wedding, with I r m a as bride.
And who d o you t h i n k was t h e man b y h e r
side?
The man was a girl and her name was Lucile.
That they w i l l live peacefully, we w i l l appeal.
navid has l e f t us and so's Lucile Moore,
That makes t w o more t o subtract f r o m o u r
score
Gerald has gone. O h ! W h y don't they come
back?
Our class roll seems empty with such a great
lack.
We had a party way out on a farm.
Three teachers went with us to keep us from
harm.
Oh! now come o u r finals, w e l a y
books
But most o f u s passed, you can t e l l b y o u r
looks.

We're sophomores n o w and o u r troubles a r e

We laugh a t green freshmen o u t a f t e r t h e i r

We honored D i c k Weeks w i t h o u r president
election,
He does a l l h i s w o r k w i t h such
fection.
Our vice-president this year is sweet Margaret
Glew.
I t h i n k she's a dandy a t a l l things, don't
you?
And A r t F u l l e r, t h e l a d w h o c a n m a k e a l l

And at dancing and driving has little to know,
Holds t h e r e s t o f t h e offices, a n d

Baseball began this year, as every year, with about twenty candidates out f o r practice
the f i r s t night, b u t before a week was u p this number had dwindled t o ten, where
mained throughout t h e season.
To start things o ff , there were only t w o men playing their old positions, the rest were
scattered about at various places entirely new to them.
Our b i g d i ff i c u l t y, a s placed a t the beginning o f the year, was i n locating
especially a pitcher. B u t a t the f i r s t game, Arbogast came through w i t h a strikewhich might w e l l have been the pride o f a veteran. A f t e r h e had proved h i s w o r t h w e
experimented w i t h Offenbecher, who we also found possessed some abilities as a pitcher.
So at the end o f the year w e found ourselves w i t h t w o v e r y good mound-men where w e
had expected t o f i n d none. A s f o r a catcher. Scott appeared w i t h a l l that could
for, besides being the l i f e o f the team. T h e rest o f the team developed accordingly. O n l y
three men w i l l be lost this year which i s very promising f o r a winning team next season.
Cor.trary t o all prophecies o f the preceding year, this year's team made a record that
has not been equalled f o r several years. T h e y were victorious in every game but one, which
gave u s a chance a t the championship again. T h i s was played w i t h Quincy there, under
the same conditions present i n the track meet.

For six years track meets have been held at the various town throughout the county.
These meets have been very interesting, judging f r o m the crowds present t o watch them.
The winning teams, figured on a basis o f points won by the individuals from
town, were presented w i t h a pennant. O f the s i x Tr a c k Championship pennants, U n i o n
City i s the proud possessor o f f o u r, besides the f o u r o f the Relay pennants which have
come to us for safe keeping. T h i s is a total o f 8 out o f 12 o r two-thirds the entire number.
Not half bad f o r a starter!
The track team this year has many new men i n its ranks. B u t this proved t o be the
much needed " e x t r a ounce" which would have carried u s t o victory under
ditions. T h e hard f e l t loss f r o m l a s t year's team w a s o u r h i g h p o i n t winner, Davison.
But many o f the recruits have shown abilities which, i f developed, w i l l make
ship team next year and, t o make prospects better, only t w o g i r l s and three fellows w i l l
be lost this year.
We w e n t t o Q u i n c y t h i s y e a r f o r t h e meet i n h i g h hopes a n d good f a i t h , b u t t h e
officials i n charge, either through ignorance o r intention, made several
were noticeable to many spectators as well as the teams. T h e s e mistakes caused the loss
of several points, and eventually the track meet.

Following a n experiment some years ago, o u r school has, since t h a t time, been one
of the many to put forth e ff o r t in training our youth f o r the platform and pulpit. I n other
words, we have f o r several years given much attention towards o u r debating teams. Y e a r
by year this activity has been steadily on the gain i n popularity u n t i l a t present i t rivals
and i n some places has even replaced Basketball a s an indoor winter pastime.
We entered t h e f i e l d t h i s y e a r w i t h assets a n d debits about balanced.
enough material f o r two teams o r even three o r f o u r, b u t t o somewhat minimize
vantage w a s t h e f a c t t h a t a l l b u t one o f these aspirants were so-called " g r e e n a t t h e

rescue i n giving us three competent instructors in lieu o f only one o r two i n the preceding
years. U n d e r t h e i r leadership t w o v e r y good teams w e r e whipped i n t o f o r m a n d s e n t

The question f o r debate t h i s year, which i s selected b y t h e State Board a n d i s t h e
same throughout the state, was: Resolved, that the National Government Should O w n the
Coal Mines.
The A ff i r m a t i v e side was upheld b y Richard G a w, Margaret Glew,

At the beginning o f the year thirty girls reported f o r work in the Club. A f t e r placings
were made, real w o r k began on every Wednesday during the music period. W e were able
to accomplish more t:- is year, owing to the regular time we had f o r practice, thus the girls
did some very creditable work. T t e r e were n o simple compositions even started, f o r w e
felt more good could b e obtained w i t h worthwhile selections. T h e success o f
deavors came i n the f o r m o f an invitation f r o m Battle Creek College f o r chapel service,

We who stand tonight a t the meeting between a happy past and a n unknown future,
have reached not the end, b u t the Commencement o f o u r lives, and w h a t those lives are
to be depends i n a large measure upon the foundations w e have been building f o r them.
We are beginning now t o think seriously o f these foundations. W e know t h a t i n a l l o u r
school years w e have been unconsciously imbibing t h e principles, t h e initials, t h a t t h e
name o f o u r dear old school signify. W e now realize t h a t U has stood f o r unity. C f o r
courage. H f o r honor, and S f o r service. T h e s e f o u r qualities a r e essential i n
mation o f character. I f we remember them in our coming l i f e we can make o u r education
worth while.

This is our last meeting together as a class. F r o m now on o u r paths lead i n different
directions. W e must say farewell to our teachers, our friends yet in school, to each other,
and even t o o u r parents.
To you, dear fathers and mothers, we can not simply say good-bye. T h e debt we owe
you can never be repaid. Y o u r sacrifices a r e n o t passed o v e r lightly. A s w e
well t o you as y o u r children i n school, we hope that o u r wider l i f e w i l l give you j o y and
pride and repay the debt o f love we owe to you.
Dear teachers, to you, we wish to express our earnest thanks. O f t e n and often, in the
days t o come, when we are thrown more and more upon o u r own guidance and intuition.
our m i n d s w i l l travel back t o you, and w e w i l l see h o w m a n y times y o u have helped t o
steer u s around this o r that d i ff i c u l t y, t i l l w e shall long. I a m sure, t o return t o
tection o f y o u r guidance. Y o u have endeavored t o repress the evil and t o encourage the
good in us. W e trust that the years to come may demonstrate to y o u r satisfaction as well
as to our own that you have succeeded.
Tonight w e s a y f a r e w e l l t o t h e B o a r d o f Education w h o s o a b l y a n d unselfishly
directs the school system. W e realize that i t is your silent influence a t work,
undercurrents o f our school activities, that has laid the foundation f o r this hour, and has
made i t possible f o r us to stand here before you tonight.
To y o u w h o were yesterday o u r school-mates, w e b i d farewell w i t h t h e best wishes
for your ensuing school l i f e and the years to follow.
Classmates. a s w e step f o r t h i n t o t h e w o r l d tonight, l e t u s g o bravely w i t h a f u l l
realization o f all that is required o f us and j u s t as f u l l a realization o f our own ability t o
meet every requirement. I f we l i v e u p t o o u r motto; u n i t y, courage, honor, and service;
we have within o u r own souls the f u l l value o f every g i f t we could possibly crave o u t o f
life's great storehouse. A s the busy world claims us, l e t u s remember the
session o f the principles and ideals taught in our school. M a y that dear friendship and
school-day spirit unite us in the bright days o f joy and the dark hours o f trial.

Class Oration
Horace Crandall
At this time o f merrymaking and festivities we are apt to forget that which ten years

unpleasant and distasteful side o f l i f e be entirely obliterated b y the pleasanter and more
joyous happenings. T h i s i s b u t human nature. W e reason t h a t : yesterday i s gone, l e t i t

I o n l y wish t o point out t o you the very trivial matters which cause nations t o start w a r,
the results o f which are so terrible and f a r reaching as those o f the Great World Wa r.
Results o f w a r ! C o s t o f w a r ! W a s t e s o f w a r ! A n y o r a l l o f these names w i l l

We entered the W a r unprepared, w i t h a s p i r i t fittingly expressed i n a
of the time:
" I m a y n o t k n o w w h a t t h e W a r s about,
But y o u h v t b y -gosh I ' l l s o o n

We d i d f i n d o u t , yes, indeed, and i t didn't take u s s o v e r y l o n g either. A s I
entered t h e w a r unprepared, j u s t a s w e have every other w a r i n which w e have taken
part. B u t we paid f o r it, this unpreparedness, i n every conceivable manner, money, men,
munitions, everything w e n t i n t o t h e w a r. H a s t e w a s urgent. H a s t e means waste, s o
waste was unavoidable. N o w we ask ourselves, " Wa s i t unavoidable? W a s i t necessary
that we enter the w a r ? "
War has never y e t brought happiness, entire a n d complete, even t o t h e victorious.
It is always followed b y high prices, times o f depression and discouragement, panics, and
a general lowering o f the public's moral standards and mental attitude. W a r
izing, to say the least.
At the present time there is much heated discussion as to what this world o f ours i s
coming to, i f we continue a t the present rate, w i t h a l l the lawlessness, murders, suicides,
robberies, crime waves, and demoralized youth taking its f u l l share i n i t all. W h a t is this
but a direct result o f the World W a r ? I t was the same after the C i v i l W a r ; i t has been
the same a fte r every w a r i n history.
, S o m e o f the benefits derived f r o m w a r are quite worthy o f mention, i t must
mitted, b u t a r e they w o r t h enough t o balance t h e cost reckoned i n terms o f happiness
and humanity?
The United States, following the advice o f its more prominent statesmen has, i n the
past, avoided w a r whenever possible. A n d a s a direct result o f this, more than anything
else, has become one o f the happiest, most progressive, and most envied, i f not the most
admired, nation on earth.
Should we give up all o f this? N o ! L e t u s prepare f o r happiness, not b y preparing
for war but bv preparing f o r peace, the one that brings happiness and contentment among
families and nations alike.

�Class Poem
Harriet Howard
Friends, we're greeting you this evening
With a feeling h a r d t o t e l l ,
Pride, o f course, f o r o u r achievement,
But with gratitude as well.

Other teachers have been w i t h u s
During years o f high school grind,
And each one has added something
That has strengthened u s i n mind.

We a r e grateful t o o u r parents,
To t h e schoolboard, t o o u r friends.
To o u r teachers, f r o m beginning
Until n o w, o u r school-time ends.

We are leaving o u r old schoolroom,
Grown s o dear w i t h passing years,
Leaving, too, o u r friends and schoolmates.
Memories bringing smiles a n d tears.

We w i l l ever miss o u r teachers.
Who have labored f o r our good,
We have often t r i e d their patience,
But perhaps t h e y understood.

We w i l l take our motto with us
As into the world we go
Unity, courage, honor, service,
Worthy weapons 'gainst the foe.

A f r i e n d indeed is M r. Foster,
Who has helped us a l l w i t h care.
And his aid in all o u r efforts
Has always been beyond compare.

Unity w i l l make us loyal
In each place our lot is cast,
And, whatever m a y b e f a l l us.
We'll be faithful to the last.

For many years he's been the beacon
Which h a s lighted o u r troubled sea.
.Many classes has he aided
With his help and sympathy.
But life t o r him holds something better,
So h e leaves u s a l l tonight
To become a n a i d t o others
And t o guide t h e i r steps aright.
In t h e long, long years before us
Should w e need a guiding hand,
We shall wish f o r o u r Miss Sheldon
Who w e know would understand.

Courage i s a v i r t u e taught us.
By its use we shall be strong.
Daring, doing, never fearing,
,4s through l i f e w e g o along.
Honor means we shall be upright,
Stooping not to small and mean.
Being open, honest, virile,
Fighting a l l l i f e ' s battles clean.
Service w e have been receiving
And, to follow nature's plan,
It is now our turn t o render
Service to our fellow man.

As o u r other friends a n d teachers.
We regret t o leave o l d " D o k e , "
Who with a sharp and ready humor
Always made o f us a joke.

As w e journey down life's pathway
We shall wander f a r and near.
Union C i t y --Twenty-seven,
Bids you, " H o l d our memory dear."

The Bells of Old Union

The Bells o f O l d Union w i l l n o w r i n g n o
more,
For a l l the seniors o f O l d Union H i g h ,
The times w e have heard them a r e years
numbered f o u r,
And they have so s w i f t l y, so s w i f t l y gone
by.
CHORUS:
Unity i n purpose f o r a l l t h a t we do,
And Courage t o f o l l o w t h a t which i s t h e
best

In fields o f Honor we hope t o
Give Service f o r t h e loved ones i n
U. C . H . S.
The days w e have longed f o r a r e f i n a l l y
lure,
But feelings o f sadness creep i n t o o u r
heart.
For now we regret t o leave o u r friends so
dear.
From teachers w e ' v e learned t o l o v e w e
hale t o part.

The A l u m n i Association o f the Union C i t y H i g h School i s unique i n the hold i t has
upon the majority o f past graduates. N o school o f our size has a better
ization.
For a t least f o r t y years, and probably before that time, reunions o f the graduates o f
our school have been held, t h e f i r s t recorded mention o f such a n a f f a i r having
gathering at Blanchard's restaurant i n 1887, when officers were elected and a
and by-laws adopted. T h i s restaurant did business i n the building now occupied b y t h e
Disbro Cream Station.
For several y e a r s a f t e r this, meetings w e r e h e l d a t t h e school building, w i t h t h e
program i n the chapel, as the present assembly r o o m was then called. Refreshments o f
ice cream and cake were served, the girls o f the association making the cake and the boys
freezing the home made cream.
This custom seems t o have been continued u n t i l 1892, w h e n t h e opera house w a s
rented f o r the reunion. P r o b a b l y the refreshments and program, a t first, w e r e
same as before, w i t h dues a t twenty-five cents, b u t t h e growing association
more convenient place o f meeting than t h e o l d school h a l l w i t h i t s stationary recitation
seats
Through these years a t the opera house a f a i t h f u l group o f the local a l u m n i stood
loyally by to make each reunion a success. T h e y decorated w i t h house plants, ferns f r o m
the woods and class colors. T h e y made the place home-like with borrowed rugs, furniture,
and screens. T h e y toiled to get together dishes and silver. T h e y baked cakes,
wiches and salads, until weary f r o m much hard w o r k and alarmed b y a depleted treasury,
they sought variety and a sharing o f responsibility b y a picnic held i n Clark's grove i n
1896, when histories o f the classes were read and reminiscences o f school days enjoyed.
In 1897 the f i r s t f o r m a l banquet was held a t Brown's Hotel. T h e old
once t h e scene o f much activity, s t i l l stands o n t h e south bank o f the St. Joe. I n 1900
and 1901 banquets were held i n the Union Hotel, b u t the association had grown t o such
proportions that neither hotel could seat all the guests at one time, so the next year there
was a return to the opera house, with this difference, that the catering was done by different
individuals o r church societies, and dues were raised t o f i f t y cents. F o r eight
was the regular program, interrupted b u t once, the occasion then being Union City's f i r s t
Home Coming i n August, 1909, when the A l u m n i gathering was held i n connection w i t h
"School D a y " ; and, as in earlier years, at the school hall.
In 1909 the Congregational church increased its social equipment by the addition o f a
gymnasium. H e r e i n 1910 and 1911 t h e banquet was served by the Priscillas. A b o u t this
time the M. E. church had completed their basement dining room, so in 1912 and also 1913,
the Ladies' A i d provided entertainment f o r t h e reunion. S i n c e then w e have relied o n
the hospitality o f the churches t o take care o f o u r needs, t h i s program being varied b y
a big home coming picnic held i n Monument Park i n 1914 and a banquet i n the Maccabee
hall i n 1920. D u e s were raised i n 1910 t o seventy-five cents, i n w a r time t o
In spite o f this increase i n dues, the cost o f printing and o f the banquet have f o r some
time exceeded the receipts until last year the surplus i n the treasury, acquired a t the time
of the picnic i n 1914, was i n danger o f vanishing entirely. I t was then that some o f the
stand-by's p u t t h e i r w i t s t o w o r k and devised a n I n d i a n p o w w o w a t t h e opera house.
where refreshments prepared b y the local alumni were served cafeteria style w i t h service
reduced to the minimum. T h e novelty o f the invitations and the a i r o f mystery about the
affair brought a record attendance.
Experience has shown u s that no organization backed b y such loyal supporters i s i n
danger o f failure. T h e future o f the Union C i t y A l u m n i i s safe i f the spirit o f the past
can have a rebirth i n each succeeding generation.

A N EXTRACT FROM T H E U N I O N CITY REGISTER OF JULY 10, 1880
In today's paper w e p r i n t t h e orations o f the graduating class o f o u r U n i o n School.
They are fourteen i n number and consequently take up a considerable space. B u t we feel
assured that our readers will agree with us in saying that the space i s well occupied. T h e
question 04 o u r U n i o n School i s one t h a t has attracted t h e attention o f o u r citizens f o r
some time past, b u t now more than ever before. A n d w h i l e there m a y be a diversity o f
opinion i n regard t o m i n o r matters, y e t a l l agreed t h a t a f i r s t class school
that i s absolutely essential t o the f u t u r e growth and w e l l being o f not only o u r own f a i r
city b u t also the country at large.
Those w h o were present a t t h e graduating exercises w i l l agree w i t h u s , w e t h i n k .
when w e state t h a t a better class, i n point o f general appearance and culture has never
been sent o u t f r o m a n y U n i o n School i n t h e l a n d . I n t h e class were o n e y o u r g l a d y
and thirteen young gentlemen ranging in age from seventeen to twenty-three years. I n the
whole number n o t one uses tobacco i n a n y f o r m o r d r i n k s m a l t o r alcoholic beverages.
In fact, i t is just such a class as our citizens will refer to when future classes come on the
stage. E a c h individual member o f this class i s intellectually strong, as a reading o f their
orations w i l l s h o w, and w e have a perfect r i g h t t o expect o f them t h a t t h e y w i l l w r i t e
their names high u p on the scroll o f the nation's best, bravest, and wisest men.

A word for friendly "Beecher." F o r sixteen years,
clockwork, rain or shine, Mr. Chaffee has taken care of Union City
High School. H i s was the first face we saw and his
was the first to greet us every morning. N o matter what
to have done, nor how trivial a task i t happened to be,
never too busy to help us. W e cannot help but remember such a

BANG! Z I N - N - G ! Hey! Jim move that piano over here: you can't have it so near the 'Mike or i t
will drown out the violin."
RIN-N-G!—Hello, hello! yes, yes, this is the M K G studio, New Yo r k —She can't come! W h a t
do you think we will do for an accompanist? T h i s is to be an unusual program and has been highly
advertised N o , we can't wait for her; we've got t o start on time! W h o ? A Miss Alling-ton? Y o u
say she is a real musician? A l l right, hurry up and get her here. O n l y ten more minutes before we
begin. " C l i c k . "
1
"Hey, boss, did you say a Miss Allington would come instead? N o w isn't that funny! T h e r e was
a Miss Allington—Margaret I believe—in my class at Union City High School. S h e used to play the
piano quite a bit; I wonder i f i t could be she."
Those ten minutes went by swiftly but Miss Allington arrived on time. I n fact, she entered the
door to the studio just before the violinist did. W h e n she realized that some one was behind her she
turned around. " W h y , Mary Ellen Gaw!" " O h Margaret, I ' m so glad t o see you. I was
ling o f - I
"Order! I t is now 9:50. N o more noise!" P l i n k , ring, click.
"This is station M K G , New York City. W e are now about to broadcast a program of violin music.
We are sorry that our aforechosen accompanist was unable t o be present this evening, but we have
arranged to have Miss Margaret Allington, an able musician, take
"We will now have as an opening number, " M a y Dance A l l a Haendil," composed by N . J. Eisen helmet, played by Miss Mary Ellen Gaw; Miss Margaret Allington at the piano."
1
Perhaps i t is needless to say that the program was indeed a success. W h e n their part of
tainment had been completed, Miss Gaw and Miss Allington had dinner at the Ritz. T h e y spent an
enjoyable evening as one could tell from their conversation. which I will endeavor to repeat.
!
"Mary, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw you, was the good times we
we were classmates in Union City H i g h School."
"You know, that was the first thing I thought o f too! T h o s e were the days! Remember the
day back in 1926. E v e r y one laughed at us country kids because we were so a‘skward and i O.course we
were called 'Green-hornse' as all Freshmen are."
"Our officers were—why Margaret. you were President that year and Helen Howard was Treasurer
"And y o u were Secretary, M a r y. R o m a Sallisb...iry was o u r Vi c e -President a n d M i s s Marion
Williams was class advisor."
"Our class and the Sophomores fought an inter-class foot-ball game with the juniors and Seniors
that year too. Ye s , we were beaten, but what more could one expect o f Freshmen?"
"Mary, certainly you haven't forgotten the parry at the Church, and Roma gave us another about
two weeks after those dreadful semester tests. T h a t certa:nly took the bad taste out o f our mouths,
didn't i t ? "
"Remember Worden and Worthington didn't come back after those tests. I wonder why?"
"Don't forget that party at Harriet Kenyon's when you were Queen o f Sheba and Margaret Day.
Shak Jahan. T h e n there was the picnic at Madison Lake at the very end o f the school year and I for
one will say 'we had a picnic'!"
"Yes Margaret, but I think there was a great blot on our freshman year and that was that we .
lost so many by the t trie we were Soollomores. L e t ' s see, there we-e Bennet, Enczle, Hitchcock, Taylor.
Emily and Howard Trumbull, Wood Warner. Worthington and Worden who left. I think that's quite

We feel that nothing has been lost in

the time and efforts put forth.

to be lost during the winter months when the football and baseball boys are at rest.
trains our youth in confidence of self which is an important factor in carrying on life's work.
The question for debate this year was: Resolved: -That the Direct Primary System of
Nominating Candidates for Public Office in the United States Should Be Abolished.' T h e
affirmative side was upheld by Leitah Smith, Richard Weeks and Margaret Glew, and the
negative by Weed Kenyon, Lynn Long and

On December sixth the Junior-Senior Wa r started when the Junior and Seniors tore down each

of the rebellious Juniors immediately tore them down.

As no decision could be reached by the two warring classes, M r. Elliot suggested that the question
by settled by a tug o f war. T h e Seniors also had another scheme t o further enrage the Juniors. T h e
day o f the tug o f war, December ninth, the Seniors held slouch day. T h e y were quite an outrageous

�Salutatory
(Ric',cod Weeks)

It is m y duty as well as m y honor t o welcome you this evening. I d o this with great pleasure
because I know that each o f you has come o f our interests at heart and w i l l help us when we leave
the school o f preparation t o enter into the school o f
We are glad t o enter the school o f experience because we are anxious t o take our places i n the
affairs o f the world and to make a name for ourselves as others who have gone before us have already
done
Today there are wider and more varied means o f livelihood f o r us than there would have been
fifty years ago, f o r the things t h a t a t t h a t time were unknown, are today laid before u s
scientists. E v e n yet, however, with all t h a t has been brought forth there are still some things t h a t
remain as mysteries i n the world o f science. T h e s e unexplainable phenomena are not confined
of the sciences, but are in all o f them. T h e r e is not one science in which everything has
So that you will better understand why I have said that there are wider and more varied means o f
livelihood for us today than i n the past, let me show you how widespread these phenomena are. L e t
us take the science that has existed the longest o f all o f them. I refer t o chemistry. Chemistry has
existed ever since the Stone Age. Perhaps at that time, i t was not called chemistry b u t i t
tainly was, f o r one o f the first things studied i n chemistry is oxidation o f substances which
cases is fire. A t that time, fire was the greatest wonder that existed. I t was made with flint,
friction caused b y rubbing two pieces o f wood together. S i n c e then the means o f starting
advanced through the match stage to our present electrical system, so that fires have become one
ordinary things o f life. Y e t with the long age o f chemistry, there are still three atoms, known t o
exist, which have not been found. B u t , just as the ones that have come before, so also, will these be
found b y some chemist.
Coupled w i t h chemistry and progressing w i t h i t i s another study t h a t has been existing just as
long, b u t not as a s:ience. T h i s is electr;city. Perhaps i t will seem strange t o you t o hear me say
that electricity dates back t o the Stone A g e also. I t does date back that far, f o r lightning has been
known t o exist since the creation; and lightning, we learned is electricity. T h i s science was not
portant as chemistry, but i t is now a ne-essitv o f life. I t was known as f a r back as 600 B. C . that
when an amber rod was rubbed with a flannel, the rod would attract sritall bits o f paper.
attention was paid to this fact because i t could not be explained and could not be used. I n 1600, D r.
Gilbert discovered other comb:naticns o f s• bstances that would produce the same effert o n
ticles. T h e s e substances were named electrics. I t is from this word that we get the name electricity.
Still, not much attention was paid t o these strange phenomena, but i n 1752, Franklin took electricity
from the sky by means of a kite, a key. and a piece of string. Since then, men have been working on
the theory o f electricity. Foremost among t h e modern scientists i s Edison, who has done more t o
further the uses o f electricity than any other person. S t i l l there are other uses of electricity that have
not been found.
Aviation is our newest science which is now i n its infancy but will some day be as important as
the automobile is today. J u s t as now aviation i s i n its infancy, so also d o we know that there are
numerous things that the greatest o f aviators are unable t o solve. T h e r e are however, many things
dealing w i t h aviation t h a t have been explained and p u t i n t o practice. A t first, m e n were
traverse the air only i n crafts lighter than air; so the problem came u p o f designing a heavier-than-air
machine that would be practicable. T h i s was solved b y the Wr i g h t Brothers who designed t h e first
airplanes. Since then the heavier-than-air machine has been advanced until we are now able to
the ocean. Y e t , with all the work that has been done, the perfect airplane has not been made, b u t
fome day i t will be as safe as the automobile or train.
Last, but not least, we will take u p the wonderful science o f medicine. Ye a r s ago there was no
!•cience o f medicines, f o r treatment o f diseases had n o t been advanced f a r enough t o call i t
Today, things are changed. I n recent years some o f the most fatal diseases have been found t o have
remedies, among these are diphtheria, small pox, and appendicitis. A l t h o u g h this last one does n o t
come under the science of,, medicine i t can be placed thus, because surgery has advanced as much as
the medical sciences. S o we see that wonderful and almost unbelievable things have been
Yet, there has been n o cure f o r the cancer.
The sciences that I have mentioned are not the only fields i n which a person might
There are many professions that also have their great people such as music, teaching, and business. I t
is, however, necessary t o study, prepare, and have patience. T h e s e last three words form the keynote
to all advancement made i n any line—whether i t be chemistry, electricity, medicine, o r a profession.
For our motto we have chosen one which incompasses study, preparation and patience: H e Conquers
Who Endures." I t is the wish o f everyone in the class tonight, t o advance. S o may we all use this
motto, and some day, perhaps we, too, can become one o f the best.

�Oration
(Leitah Smith)

Spirit o f Progress
"Nothing puzzles me so much as time and space; but nothing puzzles me less, f o r I never think
of them.- T h i s statement o f Charles Lamb comes back t o us tonight as we stand here on
hold o f a new life—expectant, wondering, but not without fear. T i m e and space o f the future looms
mysteriously before us while youth gropes uncertainly f o r something o n which t o p i n i t s f a i t h and
hope. W e have been born i n t o a world, weary, beaten, tragically bitter, yet w i t h t h e determination
not to be changed. T h e wonder is that we have not lost faith in life during the merry-go-round
tory, as the world repeats the same blunders year after year. A n d so young people, as they are about
to commence helping with the affairs o f the world, question old motives, old philosophies,
tions—and they are perfectly willing to throw away anything that refuses t o be questioned. L i k e Paul
of old, their motto is, "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I t is i n this thought that my
oration will be centered tonight—to find proof for the right and to hold fast to that which is
it is obtained.
Will the rising generation hold fast t o that which is good? W i l l the torch o f progress be carried
forward i n the coming age, o r will the ashes o f our civilization soon lie with those o f ancient Rome?
To these questions, the older generation are giving gloomy answers, and when the younger generation
probes into the heart of old beliefs and customs with the big question " W h y, " they are
predict calamities f o r the rising generation because they feel that i t is not conforming t o standards set
up by them. T h i s is not true. W e are not forsaking that which is good—we are shaking
beliefs, as many o f our ancestors before us have had t o do. Y o u t h demands proof f o r all things, old
and new, and i t keeps merely that which i t
Since the beginning o f history, youth has been denounced f o r its desire t o test all things. B u t
only in a desire to prove and question is there any chance for progress. A n d so, like the youth o f all
generations, we too wish t o excel the past. W e realize the hard, discouraging facts about the world
today—nevertheless, we stand curiously awaiting the dawn ready to look these facts in the fa:e and yet
say. "Oho. the glory o f the years t o be. I . too, would labor at their fashioning, I . too, wish t o have
the power and the something which might make me face each day on tiptoe with eagerness, equal t o
the demands o f life a t every moment." M a y we, the modern youth, move o u t into the unexplored
areas o f thinking, where we shall find something o f worth around the corner. H u g e questions
our minds and we hope that the education t h a t we have received will help us be the kind o f people
able t o live freely and unafraid i n a world o f hatred and fear; able n o t only t o ask questions and
tear down, but t o answer and build up; t o be people who can live usefully i n a world o f
morality, class pride, race prejudice and international strife—things which we are troubled
cause they deny us o f the qualities that education has developed i n us.
Before our generation will be able t o live lives which are free and yet d o the work o f the world,
we will have t o prove all things, and hold fast t o the good. I t will take keen minds; young people
with courage who are not afraid t o doubt existing dogmas, and furthermore, who are not afraid t o talk
about i t —young people who love the going forward better than the place where we now are;

from the shackles o f the past. Ancestor worship is not dead i n America. T h e religion which held

I

China stagnant for centuries still lives in the hearts o f many men. Because they worship the founders

I

I

of their country. many Americans hold their constitution as infallible. Reformers who suggest changes

I

I

for the constitution are denounced as radicals. Washington, the father o f his country, has become the

I

I

God f o r ancestor worshippers. Because he warned his countrymen against entangling alliances i n a

I

I
i

time when such agreements might lead to war, many Americans of the present are trying to prevent their

I

country from taking her place i n supporting organizations f o r world peace. Washington was great be-

I

cause he thought for himself. M a y we, his countrymen o f today, contribute more to progress by think-

I

ing f o r ourselves.

I
I

There are some people i n this progressive age who not only allow politics CO be checked, but also

I

science. A century ago there were men who opposed the telegraph and railroads, while
portation, going at the freghtful race o f fifteen miles an hour "must be a device o f the

I

than two years ago men oC the same type o f mind passed the Tennessee anti-evolution law. Because

I

their fathers did not believe in evolution, those law-makers insisted that their sons and daughters should
not be informed about it. T h e y misjudged modern youth, f o r we demand the right to hear both sides
of a question and judge i t f o r ourselves.

I
I

I
1

I do not wish you to misunderstand what I have said. J u s t because an idea is new. I do
tamn that i t is good. I do not advocate the radical. W h a t I do maintain is that i f we are o keep up

I

a degree o f progress—we must in our individual minds, give new ideas a chance t o prove their worth.

I

Because o f new ideas we have obtained wonders i n sc;ence, religious freedom, while humanity has been

I

rescued from the bondage o f autocracy. To d a y modern youth is filled with the new idea, the
of investigation—to take nothing for granted. " P r o v e all things, hold fast that which is good.- T h a t
is the spirit o f the age o f progress.

I

I
I

As we pause now on the threshold, wanting to venture forth, yet not knowing where we want t o

I

go, with all our doubts, with all our energy and fine spirit, ready t o go whichever way the wind
let us think as leaders o f a new day—are we going t o make our generation better? H a v e we g r i t

1

enough t o pay the price? T h e r e are problems f a r more difficult t o overcome than those which
fronted our fathers. O u r forefathers scoffed a t the idea that man would sometime travel i n the air.

I

Age scoffs at youth but we will have t o deal with the problems o f international peace i n which age

I

has failed—we will have t o put into practice the ideals o f a fair non-corrupt government and political

I

system. I t will be the youth o f today who will be the great thinkers of tomorrow in spite of the harsh

I

criticism o f the older generation.

I

So at this last gathering together, let us resolve to live according to our own standards, let
to learn the truth, let us think our own thoughts, and make our own conclusions. I t is youth who
must care f o r the future. W e must not fear i t ; we must look forward with eagerness f o r the battles
with the great problems so that our generation may work with a double portion of progress, -Forgetting
those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which

Class l'oeni
(Rowene Dennison)

This is the month
Of bold moons and blue nights and beating stars,
Of sanguine sun and slow grey rain,
The month when another class faces
With the faith o f inexperience and the hope o f youth.
We are the class o f twenty-eight;
Day after day through twelve
We have heard the wash o f a
War at the walls that protected us;
But we had only the sound of surf and
And the live lure of mystery,
While the white waves beat away.
We have watched the slow sure rise of the tide,
Until now the beguiling seas fawn at our feet
And reach out sinuous fingers that pchnt f a r o ff t o the
We see white teeth lurking i n the curling
But beyond the reefs there are still
Open skies and white stars.
Tonight we stand on the shore
With the beckoning sea before us
And a fair wind fresh i n our faces;
We are launching into the surf,
Into the gossamer spun-gold mists o f tomorrow,
And o u r glistening paddle blades d r i p tears o n the water;
We go with a smile, yet there are tears in our hearts.

Class Song
Gertrude Warren—Marjorie Gould

(Tune, - I n the Garden o f Tomorrow)
We gather here
Mid friends and
We hear a voice i n every wind
Of future's coming sway.
CHORUS:
-He succeeds
Is our motto ever f a i r
Life is f u l l and sweet befere us
Love can shield us from dull care
Through the world's wide pathless way
We will ever drift apart,
Memor;es forever
May we always
U. C. H . S. Days. (Union City High School Days)
In the garden o f our dream.
May we with joy await.
Shining success which is our goal

We have come to the transition in life when we no longer can depend upon the help of others, our
parents, our teachers, and our friends. W e must now face our problems f o r ourselves. A s we have
gone through high school i t has not only been b y our desire f o r knowledge, our interest i n athletics,
or the good times that we have continued on f o r the four years. W e find that another
verance, has entered in and will continue to be present throughout our lives.
Perseverance is one o f the largest factors in every day life. I t was by perseverance that Columbus
was a conqueror. H e might easily have given up when he was refused aid by the king o f Portugal o r
when his crew was on the verge o f mutiny because o f fears and disbeliefs, but instead, because o f his
strong perseverance, he would not give u p and finally reached his goal and is honored today as
coverer o f America. W e find i t also i n colonization, the next step in our country's history.
ships o f winter bezause o f the change i n climate, lack o f food and other supplies, and attacks by the
Indians would have been sufficient reason, perhaps, f o r giving u p all hopes o f establishing
Instead, the colonists stayed and so we have the beginning o f our country. Perseverance is found i n
the growth and expansion of our country, too. T h e ''forty-niners- and the pioneers show this. A s an
example o f perseverance in a person, we might take Abraham Lincoln. L i n c o l n came from poor parents
and had very little chance f o r education, but he d i d n o t let himself be hindered b y that.

stantly keeping a t work, h e gradually climbed a n d reached his success as President o f t h e United
States. I t was by his perseverance that he reached this goal, and became one o f the nation's foremost
statesmen. W e find perseverance in every phase of modern business. I t was not so long ago

these same men continued t o remodel and improve their inventions until today we find the

We have traced perseverance throughout the history o f our country, from the early beginning t o
the present age of scientific development. Likewise we can trace i t throughout our lives. I t enters into
everything we undertake.
The Senior class o f '2R has chosen f o r its motto - H e Conquers W h o Endures- or in other words,
-Endurance Conquers A l l Things.- T h i s is the spirit i n which we as individuals should meet all the
difficulties which confront us. T h e obstacles which we will meet may often look as massive and as
impassable as the highest mountain, but i f we have properly schooled ourselves we know that all things
are possible i f we are only determined on success. I t is the battle-scared warrior who wears the medal
and the victor who has the hardest struggle who gets the greatest laurels.
Perhaps there will corne a time i n our lives when we feel i t is almost useless t o keep on against

one o f the greatest mistakes, f o r i f l i f e i s worth living, success is worth working f o r and i t i s b y
perseverance that we will endure all of these hardships and in the end be conquerors. O r i n the words
of the poet:

There are no beaten paths t o Glory's height,
There are n o rules t o compass greatness known;
Each for himself must cleave a
And press his own way forward i n the fight,
Smooth is the way t o ease and calm delight.
And smooth the road sloth chooseth f o r her own:
But he who craves the flower o f life
Must struggle u p i n a l l his armour dight!
What though t h e burden bear h i m down
And crush to death the mountain of his pride,
For rugged is the roadway
Nor may he hope to gain his envied crown
Till he hath thrust the looming
Some may wonder why graduation i s called Commencement. S u r e l y graduation means the end
of high school, our athletics, school parties, and f o r many the end o f school. Graduation does mean
the end o f high school but i t is only the beginning, the commencement o f life's school. W e

Members o f the Faculty—We appreciate your many acts o f kindness, your encouraging words.
your timely counsels amidst difficulties. W e thank you at this time for all you have so cheerfully done
and tried t o do, and trust that i n years t o come we may demonstrate t o your satisfaction as well as
to our own that you were as successful as your ambitions could desire in turning out men and women.
Fellow Students, our relationship will soon cease. W e shall enter new fields, but you
and you will take our places which we so regretfully leave tonight. T h e memory o f our comradship will
not soon fade away.
Classmates, we are gathered here together f o r the last time as a class—the Senior class o f '28.
Soon many o f us will leave Union City t o take u p our life's work i n other places. W e have gone
through h i g h school together coming i n contact every d a y, a n d enjoying each other's friendship.
Though our paths lead i n different directions, let us not forget the close associations we have had i n
