That sounds n a t u r a l , h e always good o n t h e h i g h s c h o o l b a s k e t b a l l team.
I know, b u t what e v e r became o f Kenny Parks? H e was r i g h t u p t h e r e w i t h Edgar i n h i g h s c h o o l

How could anyone ever f o r g e t J r. ? I s he s t i l l arguing?

they say t h a t when J r . wants a b i l l passed t h e o t h e r senators a l l b r i n g t h e i r p i l l o w s and prepare

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

never too busy to help us. W e cannot help but remember such a

"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

"Order! I t is now 9:50. N o more noise!" P l i n k , ring, click.

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."

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

"It was, but others joined us the next year: A d a h Mastin and oh, yes. James Arbogast, the

"You're right, Margaret. L e a h Cronkhite was Vice-President and Preston Engle Secretary

�The Ship o f '31

The good ship. Education, was launched on September 6, 1927, at Union City High
School, by the teachers of the high school for a four year journey to the "Land

Union City High School entered the S:ate High School Debating League in 1923, for
the purpose of training our youth for t'le platform.

We feel that nothing has been lost in

the time and efforts put forth.
There are two objectives in the field of debate victories for the school and training for
those who participate. I n many ways it gives rise to that school spirit which is quite apt
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;

more than anything we yet have found. T h i s is the spirit o f the adventurer, the

one who will take the risks o f shipwreck rather than those o f rust and decay. W e must

I

I

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

We gather here
Mid friends and
We hear a voice i n every wind
Of future's coming sway.
CHORUS:

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,

May we always

In the garden o f our dream.
May we with joy await.
Shining success which is our goal

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

the growth and expansion of our country, too. T h e ''forty-niners- and the pioneers show this. A s an

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

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

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
over.
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
hope i s
He'll not use his car when he's doing our biz.
We a l l were invited t o Rosie Renshaw's,
And can you imagine just what was the cause.
A hallowe'en party, the spookiest kind,
Made t h a t t i m e f o r enjoyment a regular
"find."
Our f i n a l exams have been passed b y
Excepting James Louis, who f e l l a hard fall.
We p u t o n a p l a y, 'twas " T h e Merchant o f
Venice."
We hope it was good and not a great menace.
They slapped up a party for all the main cast.
With beans o f a plenty and how they did last.
Well, this i s the end o f o u r sophomore year,
And yes, we do leave i t with many a tear.
Our president this y e a r i s known a s a poet,
Her name is Rowene, you really should know
it.
Miss Glew again this year was elected as vice
That means she's o n h a n d when some o n e
does entice
The president away for a moment o f pleasure.
Which vacancy's f i l l e d i n b y one
measure.
Miss G o u l d a n d D i c k Weeks, o t h e r offices

They're competent officers, so we
A p a r t y was h e l d a t Miss Robinson's home.
So a l l o f u s j u n i o r s t o w a r d h e r house d i d

Arc things w e have thought o f f o r m a n y a

The junior reception has faded away.
But we sure had fun on the night o f that day.

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

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.

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,
where t h e y ertert3ined f o r a h a l f h o u r, a n d a l s o a t C a m p C u s t e r Veterans' Hospital,

the Glee C l u b . T h e s e g i r l s ' voices blended v e r y w e l l a n d t h e y prove v e r y capable o f
bringing much credit to the school. F r o m the f i r s t soprano Genevieve Smith

as piano soloist, gave a n evening program a t the Sigma Beta Sorority a t Olivet College,
where they were very cordially received. I t i s hoped t h a t another year's w o r k w i l l also

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
ago was foremost in our minds. W e are quite liable i n times such as these to let the more
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
go—forget it, today i s here, use i t —enjoy i t , tomorrow has not y e t come, l e t i t take care
of itself. H o w e v e r, f o r those who look not into the future, the future i t s e l f holds nothing.
As we all want success, let us prepare f o r i t by looking back and profiting b y
Ten years ago, t h e s i x t h o f A p r i l , t h e U n i t e d States entered w h a t proved t h e m o s t

pened i n Europe w h a t a mammoth undertaking we were entering upon, and although w e
could not distinctly foresee j u s t what the consequences were t o be, we knew that the cost
would be beyond reckoning. W h y then d i d w e enter the w a r ? W e entered the w a r, you
say, " To make the world safe f o r Democracy." Ye s , that is what everyone was told a t the
time, b u t because o f facts brought t o light since the w a r we are not quite as sure o f that
as we were i n 1917. I t i s entirely possible that we entered the w a r f o r the same reasons
as those p u t forth i n f a v o r o f our entering the Chinese rebellion today. L e t that be as i t
may f o r i t is past and o u r only care f o r i t is as a lesson f o r us to profit b y i n
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
classify b u t none describe i t . N o t h i n g c a n describe i t . T o those w h o have n o t been
through i t there i s no way o f bringing a f u l l realization o f what w a r means. T h e horror,

viewing a place like that you w i l l gain a f u l l e r realization o f what w a r really means. I f

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
MARIORIE CLINE
WILMA OLMSTED

(Tune,"Bells o f St. Mary's"1
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 friendship g o f school days a r e l i k e n o other; t h e y a r e t h e solace o f o u r later
years. C l a s s m a t e s have a memory o f t h e same events a n d a l i k e mode o f thinking.
Doubtless t h i s f a c t accounts f o r t h e s t r o n g appeal a n a l u m n i association h a s f o r i t s
members as the years lengthen between the present and the date o f their graduation.
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.

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.
