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.

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.

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.

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: U. U. U. U. Page C. C.

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: 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.

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? Page Porly-on' �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 the garden is all planted. A r t h u r had a party didn't he? A n d Elvetta acted We all had a very good time though. in spite of the rainy weather. W e l l ! I must ing, it is getting late, and must be almost dinner time too. Helen: Well! I am so glad you came in to help me, or I don't know when I would have got the flowers planted. Irene: I hope the garden grows nicely. Good bye. Helen: Yes, I must go in the house. Good bye. Fini !iv Fort y- �Class (aeoroe ( t o r o w l l I i i , , R a l s t o n ) Time- 2 : 0 0 A . 11.-1933.

Oratio The H y p h e n a t e d C i t i z e n (By Bush Moore) 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 the achievement o f results before i t was a branch o f knowledge f a i r l y evolved and reduced to practice. I t has been the d u t y o f these Americans to f i n d a way b y which a l l on one soil, under one f o r m o f government w i t h n o territorial lines. can be assimilated a n d become a p a r t o f her integral national life. T h i s was thought simple a t f i r s t f o r i f talk a common language unity was assured and i f a l l were citizens under one f l a g could separate them. B u t when t h e w a r came w e found alien enemies i n s p i r i t among the American born, we also found old stirrings in the hearts o f men t o take p a r t i n the struggle; not as true Americans but as Hyphenated-citizens that were ft detriment t o the welfare o f any flat This was found more than t r u e when a naturalized citizen was lamenting the f a c t t h a t •110111(1 I t a l y j o i n the w a r i t wmild be necessary f o r him t o leave, f o r he declared t h a t " I t a l y never gives u p her children." T h r o u g h investigation i t was discovered t h a t natives o f I t a l y were subject t o m i l i t a r y service between t h e ages o f eighteen a n d thirty-nine and natural ization i n a foreign country without the formal consent o f the Italian government D O E S N M . interfere with the neeessity o f service and neither does i t end their Italian citizenship. An I t a l i a n -horn naturalized citizen i s n o t alone i n having t w o allegiances w i t h t h e one to his native country holding f i r s t . T h e r e is n o treaty on t h e subject o f tween O w I ' n i t e d States a n d Greece. Rumania, Poland, Netherlands o r France, b u t t h e French immigration is too small t o he o f much importance Neither i s there a n y naturalization t r e a t y between flue U n i t e d States and A Swiss who becomes an ‘nnurican citizen. lout whose renunciation o f his native not been accepted leaves t o his descendants unto the t h i r d and f o u r t h generation a Swiss Cif izenship which holds precedence over t h e American citizenship acquired b y b i r t h . T h e r e i s no t r e a t y between t h e U n i t e d States a n d Russia: i n f a c t . Secretary H u g h e s declared n o Peg, Forty-nine �treaty is possible w i t h t h a t country so long as i t sends us propagandists whose ject is the overthrow o f the American f o r m o f government; and y e t we continue ize Russians. N o t r e a t y exists between o u r country a n d Germany. U n d e r t h e Tr e a t y o f Versailles, Germany undertakes t o recognize any new nationality which has been o r may Ite 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.

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.

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 oires, and that this issue of l,es Memoires will "go across" as successfully as the did Just-a-Mere Junior.

Page �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.

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 .

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 .

I t s main purpose is to aid in ities and to encourage the study o f orchestra work. L a s t year there were plenty o f stringy(' instruments and a shortage of brass, while this year it is quite the reverse. A l s o there is a better representation of boys this year than last. T h e y have appeared in public at plays, debates, and other high Besides being a helpful organization to the school, they have been ready to assist munity whenever asked.

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. 1923 - 1924 U. C.

"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.

"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?"

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.

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 Therefore in the month of June, in the year of our teen hundred and fourteen, we did present the "hoodoo- for the peopl �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.

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. — R . A. B. 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.
