COLDWATER, MICHIGAN, MAY 1915 N u m b e r 8. Dedication o f Mirror to C. H. S. To the High School we are leaving now We wish to leave a token. So that when after years are passed Our friendships won't be broken. Herein you'll find illustrious deeds Of Seniors great and small; We're sure you'll want to copy them, For they'll help you one and all. We've put our teachers' records here, Although their deeds are few. We think that they deserve a place, For they've helped us—maybe—too. Stories, poems and the like We've put in here and there, To prove we have some talent I f we don't show it everywhere. And one thing else we wish to add We haven't said before,— That in all four years in C. H. S. We've had good times galore. So now dear underclassmates, We dedicate this Mirror, Although it is a trifle now, Sometime it may be dearer. • N. L. Clizbe, '15. , •• , �2 T H E MIHHOIL You a l l k n o w Miss Frnmaw Wimps.

W e are glad t o recognize and we appreciate the motives which influenced you in coming here. T h i s is the climax of four years of both work and pleasure and, while we have enjoyed many good times together, we feel that we have had many valuable experiences that have, in a measure, prepared us f o r the future. W e realize now, as we never have before, the value and importance of a High School education. The advantages t o be derived from f o u r years spent i n a High School are many, and t h e y are familiar to almost everyone. T h i s is an age of specialization, and the High School student is enabled to choose the line o f work that he wishes t o follow after he graduates. T h e n through the school associations he learns his relationship to his fellow students, so that he is better fitted f o r the social life of a community. While we have been pursuing our course we have received help and encouragement from those who are interested i n the school, especially from the members of the faculty. O u r teachers have not only taught us the lessons in the textbooks, but they have given us a high standard of ideals and morals. W e wish to thank these friends for all the assist. once we have received from them. We have also to thank the school board f o r the provision they have made f o r the high grade instruction that has been offered us I t is through their efforts t h a t our High School i s one of the best in the state, and we are glad to express our appreciation to them. But we feel that we should give the greatest thanks to the parents who have given us these opportunities. I t is sometimes difficult f o r parents to send their boys and girls to school, and we are glad that the fathers and mothers of today realize the value of a good eduacation and �12 T H E MIRROR are a n x i o u s t o g i v e t h e i r c h i l d r e n all t h e p o s s i b l e a d v a n t a g e s o f one.

Class Prophecy of 1915. I t is the evening of June 10, 1935, and the spacious gymnasium of the new High School of Coldwater is gorgeously decorated with flow. era, palms, brown and gqId festoons, and banners of C. H. 8 '15. In the center of the hall are the tables beautifully decorated and laid ready f o r the feast. A t one end of the hall i s the orc..estra ready to receive the guest of honor with a grand flourish of music. Y o u ask why all this splendor and anxious expectation—why haven't you heard? The class of 1915 are celebrating their twentieth anniversary in honor of their old classmate, Roscoe Emerson Stewart, who was i n the last election, elected President of the U. S. At the door you meet t e reception committee composed o f Bessie Holway, Nina Pelton, Frank Tuttle and Harold Parker. I t is to these few members of the class that we owe our thanks f o r such a splendid event. S i n c e they still remained in the city, they took i t upon them• selves to look up the whereabouts of the other members of the class and send out the invitations. We find that Frank Tuttle ,s ,,ow in partnership with his father in the furniture business. A l t h o u g h he is a prominent business unin, he occasionally rinds time to write poems f o r magazines and local papers which his aesthetic character is beautifully portrayed B e s s i e Hol way is still at home, keeping house f o r her father, and running opposition to the city bakery in baking bread H a r o l d Parker ha, taken up the trade of professional dyeing in the dye house on South Monroe st rect. Nina Pelton is also at home, taking care of her parents in their old age The other members of the class are now beginning to arrive and the committee i s greeting t h e m one a f t e r another. F i r s t we see Marian H a r r i s entering, who says she i s now teaching Domestic Science in Union City. T h e n Merle Bennett, who is now manager or the White City farm, and h i s piosperous little housewife, "Leelie," (Lucile Clizbe). T h e n Charlotte Hawes, who is teaching physical train ing i n Alaska, with Gertrude Gripnian, who became a trained nurse, and then married a congressman and lives in Washington T h e ITI,Wie star, Charles Clarke (president of the class), who is now playing the part of John Bunny, was the next to arrive. H e was followed by Fern AcMoody, who has just signed a contract to teach a country school for boys. P r e s e n t l y Rosamond Pollock, now an easterner living in Massa chusetts, joined the m e r r y company. T h e n comes Reo Ryder, new manager of Mr. Cowell's office. N e x t is Capt. Arnold Hellenberg, who �THE MIRROR had to leave his company of regulars, at West Point, to attend this ban. guet. N o r m a Wirley, who is tea_hing kindergarten in the south, and Jennie Weage, who spends her leisure moments driving that rattling good car of Deabler's,'were the next to present themselves. F o l l o w i n g these came Nina Brown, who is keeping house for a nice looking young man whom she captured early in her career. N e x t to come was the star actress of the U. S., Marjorie Curless, A f t e r her we sees ministerial looking man who turns out to be Clarence Grove, who is home from his missionary duties in Turkey f o r a short visit. L u c i l e Bansford came next—she is now teaching in a newly founded institute in the west. Immediately behind her is Zella Waldron, who now occupies the position (in about the same manner) formerly held by Nellie Driggs. The next arrival is Ruth Zeller, who is a successful bookkeeper f o r a large firm in Chicago. The committee next greets Carlton Perry, the honored postmaster of Girard. T h e next to pass the committee and disappear in the confusion of the fast gathering crowd i s Dorathea Cook, who gives lessons in elocution. W e know the person with the long and easy stride to be Malvern Blackman, the latest addition to Michigan's body of surveyors. The next is Esther Youse, the naturalist. W e know the next, by his stately bearing, to be Irving Stansell, the man who trims the people in the noble fashion of a legal adv'sor. W e also recognize the next to be Glee Hart, who is now following the career of a public stenographer. The next is C. L Wright, who i s now agent f o r the Cheviolet car and who still persues his hobby of frivolous driving. M a r y Preston, who is a Red Cross nurse, and Julia Soldatt now working in a milliners' establishment i n Detroit. T h e next t o arrive, Howard Snyder and Charlie Barnard are the next to be met by the committee. H o w a r d owns and runs a large rabbit and guinea pig farm, while we might find Charlie just before meal time in the kitchen of a large hotel in Alpena attending his duties as chef. A m o n g the last to come was Harriette Lind, but, owing to her distance from Coldwater, she is excusable. B y the way, Harriette lives peaceably on a farm near Fremont. T h e next is Owen Clinetelter, as can be told by his smile. H e has just arrived from his farm in the near vicinity. T h e last but not the least b y any means is Wm. Walker, commonly known as "Bill". " H i l l " is here and speaking for himself. V e r y soon after the last arrived, the guests gather around the table with merry chatter and do ample justice to the elegant feed. A f t e r the feast, the company is favored by a toast given by Senator Ruth Byers. F o l l o w i n g this, the old class is highly enter tamed with a vocal solo b y Frances Wimer, who is now doing lyceum work. T h e guests are much surprised to see Roland Shenitield go to the piano to play her accompaniment, but he proves that he has sufficiently mastered the a r t as to b e perfectly capable of accompanying Frances in her life work. �IC T H E MIRROR Soon after the entertainment the good t i m e is interrupted by a messenger boy bringing a cablegram from Bertha Vogt, expressing her regret at not being able to attend t h e banquet, as she was in Berlin, Germany, studying music Due to the lateness of the hour, the guests began to depart, declaring the banquet a never-to-be-forgotten event in the history of the old class of 1915. C. L. Wright, Harriette Lind, Fern AcMoody, Harold Parker. Class Will of 1915.

Frances L. Wimer, Gertrude M. Gripman, Clarence Grove. Valedictory. "DREAMS." I'd not give room for an emperor--I'd hold my road for a king. To the Triple Crown I'd not bend down— But this is a different thing! I'd not fight with the Powers of A i r — Sentries pass him through! Drawbridge let fall—His the Lord of us all— The dreamer whose dream came true. Why does Kipling so exalt the person whose dreams come true? I s he such a rare individual that he stands above all others? I t would seem that he is. H e is the king of the world. W h y ? Because he has had the satisfaction of seeing his most cherished hope gone from a mere dream, a misty vision, into a reality that anyone may recognize. We all have our dreams today, and dreams have always held their place in the heart of every person regardless of the vogue of materia things in the outside world. J o a n of A r c dreamed of an unconquered �IS T H E MIRROR France as she sat on the hillside, unmindful of her scattered flock; Na. poleon, while still a boy, saw himself as the ruler of Europe, seated on a golden throne and surrounded b y a magnificent court; Bismark dreamed of a united Germany; Lincoln dreamed o f an emancipated race; and Edison dreamed of hearing the world's talent long after that talent was gone. But all of these people did more than to dream. A l o n g with their dreams they possessed h i g h ideals, those high determinations, the steps by which they made their dreams come true. T h e s e they never lost sight of o r laid down, however difficult it might be to keep them, for without these ideals their dreams might never have come true. Our ideals are the framework of our accomplishments, and the rosy day dreams are the thread w i t h which we weave our patterns. W e may not attain our hearts desire if we neglect one of the ideals. W e constantly change the designs o f our dreams as we grow older, but the same threads are always there. W e even change our ideals, yet when the pattern is complete and we have attained our highest desire, we readily see familiar threads of our childish dreams of long ago. A small boy with a white, delicate face once stood looking at beautiful Lake Geneva and the mountains around it. H i s little beauty lasing soul longed to put the picture on a canvas just as he saw it, but he was too poor to buy a brush and paints, so he drew with a stick in the sand, promising himself each day as he did so that sometime he should put it on a real canvas in its true colors. Years later as he sat despondent inn garret in the Latin quarter of Paris, the beauty of the Alpine scene came before him; he seized his brush and palette and set to work to paint it, his heart growing lighter as he worked until a little tune bubbled out of his heart. A f t e r days of hard work and privation, the picture was completed, and he secured permission to hang it in a gallery. T h e world looked at his picture and at once proclaimed him a master artist. B u t where the world only saw a beautiful picture, he saw a cherished dream comae true and his heart was glad that it had happened even better than his dreams because he was true to his task and to his ideals. Like the master artist if we would gain our goal, we must be willing to endure hardship and privation. W e should not regard the years as long through which we pass to make true our dreams, for time has no place in dreams. W e may not overlook the little things that offer us advances toward our aspirations, for as someone has aptly said, "It's the little things in life that count." Whatever we undertake must be well done and then we are neaer the realization of our dreams.

Promptly at six thirty we assembled in the parlors of the Methodist church, which were very artistically decorated in the Senior class colors, brown and gold. H e r e we mingled with the faculty and Juniors in an informal reception, and a few minutes later were called t o the banquet.

First, Mr. Cowell gave a nice little talk as a farewell to the Seniors and then the Seniors gave a few yells. About this time they saw the Juniors moving toward the piano, and shortly the strains of t h e following song to the tune of " I t ' s a Long, Long Way to Tipperary". Up to Mr. Percy went the Senior class one day, There wasn't hardly anyone that knew just what to say, Because they were all Freshmen And they toil and cut the air, Till Bechtel told them that it couldn't do, and was not fair. CHORUS: I t s a long way to plow thru High School, It's a hard hill to climb, It's a long way to a diploma, To the honor of the time, Farewell upper classman, You have stood it well. It's a sad, glad way that's why you tarry, But our heart's right there. Now they were all Sophomores and they knew a little more, Began to know a few thing, but they didn't know what for. They began to save their pennies for a spicy little spread, They gave to those darn Seniors who have now gone on ahead. Coo. �pr TRR MIRROR 2 3 Now we called them Juniors and they thought they knew a lot. They had to earn more money, but they knew not how or what, But they finally got the sheckels and then they had the feed, But this year they are Seniors, and have not a thing to heed. CHO. Then the following yell for the Seniors was given: Clarke, Byers, Waldron, Hawes, Yes They deserve lots of applause, AcMoody, Clizbe, Corless, Cook. Together could make up a book Gripman, Harris, Hart, Holway, They do nothing but pass the time away, Lind, Pollock, Preston, Ryder, Ransford, Soldatt, Vogt, Snyder Waldron, Weage, Wimer, Wirley, In this piece they come not early, Youse, Zellar, Pelton, Brown, Most of these walk up and down, Barnard, Bennett, Blackman, Clinefelter, Whose typewriter keys go hilter.skilter, Parker, Perry, Shenie, Stansell, These the Seniors could not cancel, Stewart, Tuttle, Wright, Grove, Hellenberg, Rah ! R a h ! R a h Jove; The Seniors then answered w i t h a few more yells, and shoved how much they appreciated the efforts of the Juniors. T h e beauty of the assembly was also greatly increased by three cartoons of members of the Senior class, Roscoe Stewart as a singer, Gertrude Gripman as a kindergarten teacher, and Irving Stansell as a lawyer. Senior Map Breakfast. Perhaps one of the most pleasant school functions of the year was the May breakfast, which was served b y members of the Senior class at the Baptist church Tuesday morning, May 5th. T h e affair was arranged for the purpose of raising funds with which to defray our corn• rnencement expenses. The morning was damp and rainy, but this condition of affairs did not hinder those who had charge of the meal from being at the church at an early hour. A t 6 o'clock the serving began and lasted from then until 8:30. I t was quite a novel idea to take the f i r s t meal o f the day away from home, and so about 250 people availed themselves of the op. portunity. E v e r y b o d y seemed well repaid f o r their efforts, f o r the splendid menu, together w i t h the attractive appearance of the tables, �24 T H E MIRROR w h i c h w e r e d e c o r a t e d w i t h f l o w e r s , g a v e t h e w h o l e a f f a i r an agreeable a t m o s p h e r e .

So Galliaest, Omnisdivisa, Inpartestres packed their trunks, bags, tennis rackets, bats, and other essentials. T h e y set out, traveling to. gether until they came t o the place where all roads meet. Galliaest made straight for the big city; Omnisdivisa followed a vanishing dam. sel into a dressmaking shop; while Inpartestres—our hero—strolled down an alluring by-path. Many were the adventures each had to relate when he met with his brothers in a year and a day. Galliaest proudly exhibited the miraculous '.wishing carpet," seated upon which one could be transported to any desired location in a twinkling o f the eye. O f course this was nothing else than a Ford. Divisaest had acquired a mysterious mirror, probably the " M i r r o r of Fashion." F o r it is quite possible that such things may be found i n select society. B u t Inpartestres had, a truly wonderful gift. H e hoped i t would be the "apple of her eye". N o w any deaf mute would spy that it was a diamond ring. Together they sought the object of their affections who was again doing her d u t y dutifully. B u t why continue? T h e sparkle took her eye and the wedding bells rang merrily as is the custom of marriage bells. T h e bride wore a charming gown o f white satin and her veil was an heirloom of the grocerman's family. T o speak plainly, an old lace curtain. T h e groom wore conventional black. A n d —they all lived happily ever afterwards, especially Divisaest and Inpartestres. Ruth Byers, '15. Our Faculty.

The Ambition of the Senior. A certain Senior in the class of 1915 wished t o make himself famous H e wished t o invent some new method o f cleaning dishes, other than b y washing them w i t h soap and water. H e had also labored t o rind some way of making trees grow upside down. B u t "the schemes o f mice and men gang a f t agley," and s o was i t with t h e schemes of this illustrious Senior. H e tried to discover so many seemingly impossible things that I really think his gray matter had begun to send out l i t t l e rays of knowledge for his head was most always surrounded by a hazy, gray atmosphere. On one memorable day in March i n the year of 1915, as the occupants of the assembly room sat plying what few brains were available, to get their lessons f o r the following day, an unusual sound issued from that corner of the room known as the "Seniors' Recluse." P r i n . �IS T H E MIRROR Bechtel raised his head and glowered in the aforesaid direction. A n d to see the figure of a certain Senior dancing about, flinging his arms aloft and yelling, " I have, I have it," certainly chilled the blood of our honored pedagogue for a second. B u t in a trice Mr. Bechtel was walk. ing down the aisle and i n another trice was escorting poor M r. Senior out to safer quarters, which, by the way, was the chemical laboratory. Here our illustrious Senior had to stay. Perhaps you think he had cause to worry, but on the contrary he made use of his misfortune by using his leisure moments in perform. ing his experiments. The thought that had come to his brain while in the assembly room and had caused all t h e disturbance was that one which urged him to make sunbeams out of cucumbers. Y o u t h i n k that was a laughing matter, but I assure you it was a most serious one. He then set about to catch a sunbeam, which was no easy task. A l l manners of traps were set to do the deed. S t i c k y flypaper was even pressed into service to ensnare the delicate, timid sunbeams. One morning as lie was about to give up in despair, he spied a stray sunbeam stealing into the room. H o w beautiful i t was. so happy and gay, and oh how badly he hated to catch it, but his fame depended on his procuring it. Seizing his electric tweezers, he made a quiet but quick raid on the beam arid caught it I n spite of all the wriggling and squirming, little sunbeam was placed in a glass jar for further use. The search was begun f o r the proper acids etc., that were to be used on poor sunbeam H a v i n g a little knowledge as to the composition of the beam, Mr. Senior did n o t have as hard a time as one might imagine finding his proper acids. In the first place, the sunbeam was divided into several parts and put into separate dishes. Ta k i n g one portion h e put onto it one cubic beamometer of epizudimetric acid. N o re-action took place. Ta k i n g another portion, a drop or two of bugothewisp was added which was such a strong compound that it entirely destroyed time sample of the sunbeam as well as the dish holding it The next experiment was to take a long, small, iron cylindrical, perforated pipe and supported it at both ends by blocks of wood. I n t° this pipe was placed a section of the sunbeam. T h r o u g h the holes of the pipe chlorine was forced with great velocity, in fact, with such great velocity that the beam was forced out at one end, and, of course, flew away. T h i n g s had begun to look pretty discouraging, when three experiments had been done and no results had followed. T w o other experiments were tried but were of no avail. Taking his last sample of sunbeam in one hand and his bottle of precious compound, known a s M o r t a w e e o u r e g w a m p u s acid (Mq2ZHP5TS7), in the other, he poured a few drops onto the bit of sun- �THE M I R R O R 2 9 beam. 0 b l i s s !

A young lady who lisped took lessons of a professor in learning to talk plainly, and learned t o say plainly, "Sister Susie's sewing shirts for soldiers" (which by the way is a popular song).

And ever we'll strive To keep alive The spirit which you have shown us. You've given us more than we claimed as due; We've given the best that we had to you.

The History o f the Class o f 1918. On September 3, 1914, we entered the training camp of Coldwater High School. W e were some eighty strong on that day. W e were reviewed by General Johnson, commandant of the camp, a very fine appearing officer. W e were given four days leave in which to g e t ready for training. W e reported on Tuesday, September 7th t o Lieutenant General Bechtel, in charge o f t h e receiving station, situated i n t h e High School auditorium. H e r e we were formed into a Freshman B r i gade and divided into squads under command o f faculty Captains, f o r the purpose of being more easily trained in the rudiments of warfare. We were permitted to organize as a social unit and elected Bill Foy as president, Kathryn Woodward as vice president and Myrtle Allen as secretary and treasurer. For many days we were the subject of much fun for t h e seasoned veterans of the camp. I t was some time before we learned thoroughly the location of the barracks where we were supposed to go for instruction. By careful execution of all orders, we were able t o g e t t h r u , and finish our f i r s t year of training. O f the once large Brigade, however, only about sixty remained. S o m e were n o t able to go farther because of ill health or work and also because a f e w thought they had gained sufficient knowledge. So things went on and w e were instructed i n t h e rudiments of learning necessary to soldiers in the army of education. After nine months of intensive training, orders came f r o m headquarters that because of our efficient and diligent endeavor during the past nine months, we were to be given a furlough. L o u d and joyous were the cheers that echoed thru our ranks when this order came. We returned to our training after our enjoyable furlough, n o t as raw recruits but as trained and seasoned veterans. Our organization was no longer known as t h e Freshman Brigade but as the Sophomore Brigade. W e veterans were self appointed t o �Page 14 T H E MIRROR instruct the Freshman Brigade in the rudiments o f M i l i t a r y training much to our joy and their dislike. As the days passed on we again organized into a social unit, choosing for our leader Bill Kibbe, for assistant leader, Neva Keel, as secretary, Marjorie Lockwood, and as treasurer, Bill Foy. During the following months we took u p more intensive training that was to fit us to tight the battles of life. Near the end of our second nine months of training, orders came to prepare for a track meet. W h e n that meet came off, our team held second place, the team from the company o f Seniors taking f i r s t b y one-half point. N o t long after this again came welcome orders to prepare for a furlough. By the time we returned from this furlough, our regiment was reduced until it was now only the strength of a battalion. Entering on the third year of our training as officers, w e started off by electing the officers of our social unit. Kathryn Woodward was our first assistant, Neva Keel our second assistant, and again we choose Marjorie as secretary and Bill as treasurer. Our training this year was much mote difficult than i n previous years, the two subjects, Physics and English I I I being v e r y difficult for certain persons. While we were not spending our time on these two topics, we were trying to raise a fund sufficient in amount to furnish a farewell feed for the departing company of Seniors. B y a Junior F a i r and a benefit this amount was finally raised. During this time a call had come for a cross c iuntry team and also a track team. O u r noble team won first in both events. T h e n came the all important feed for the Seniors. A l l who were in attendance admitted it to be a wonderful event, even the haughty Seniors themselves admitted that it was incomparable. Not many days before this, there came dispatches saying that our country had declared war o n German Militarism. W i t h these dispatches came a call for volunteers. T o this call t h e following s i x o f our fellow class men responded: C h a r l e s Shannon, Bernard Corson, Ralph Barrack, Percell Overly, Rodney Parker and Webb A u l t . N o t long after this for the third and last time we were given a furlough. Again our number was reduced and lessened for many reasons so that when we came back only a company was left of our one proud and powerful Fresh man Brigade. For the last time officers were chosen to lead us thru the struggle of another year. Z e k e Osborn was chosen as president, Clyde L i g h t as vice president and for the third time we chose Marjorie and Bill. No sooner had we elected officers than we began to consider various plans for raising money to pay our class expenses. T h i s was done by having a fair and a play. �THE MIRROR P a g e 15 Soon came the call for a debating team. F o u r out o f the five members were Seniors. When the cross country and track meet came off the Seniors easily won f i r s t i n both events. N e a r t h e end of May our friends, the Juniors, gave us a farewell banquet. On the following Sunday night, Rev. Donald MacCluer delivered the baccalaureate sermon. O n Wednesday night we answered t o the last roll call and received our commissions in the A r m y of Life. GEORGE GAGE, STARR FARWELL. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1918.

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

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

Waldo Presentation of Diplomas . T . E. Johnson Class Song. Class Ye l l Athletics. Senior Weerere of C'e. No class of late years has been honored more in an athletic sense than the class of 1918. I n all branches of sport the class has been ably represented and upon several occasions the strength of t h e different teams depended upon these boys who are going to leave C. H . S . t h i s year. Not for some time to come, perhaps at least until the war has been won, will Coldwater High School boast of "C" men who have completed their work, both academic and athletic, so well and with so much vim as the " C " men of 1918. In football, the major sport of C. H . S . t h e y have Goss, Crull, Klock, Hodgman, Foy, McConkey and Gage: In baseball, Klock, Goss, Foy and Crull. In basketball, Foy, Klock, Crull, Goss, Osborn and Hodgman. The track work, Foy, Crull and Osborn. They have won the inter-class meet the last t w o years b y over. whelming scores due to the efforts of these same eight men. ��THE MIRROR P a g e 23 Individually these men represent a clean living, ambitious set o f athletes and whether they leave to fight the "hun" or to fight life's bat. this, the work they have had along these lines will aid them i n no little way for the " B i g Fight." Clarence "Cupid" Goss is about t h e most consistent of this group of boys, ably competing his four years in basketball, four years in football, and one year in baseball. H e has showed a fineness and fitness in each sport that would be hard t o be surpassed. C r e d i t must be given him for his splendid control of the men under him while he was captain of certain teams. Russell Klock, who has really made his athletic name i n football, has also won his basketball and baseball " C " and is rather a versatile athlete and if he carried on h i s education, should make a name f o r himself. I n football "Russ" is one of the most ideal ends a t blocking and tackling it was ever my pleasure to see. "Octy" Howard Crull, captain of last year's football team and with Foy the only wearer of four "C's" now in school has performed w e l l upon all four teams. H e has the "personality" t h a t inspires the opponents with deadly fear and did much to cause many well started end runs to fail. " O c t y " also made a record o f over f o r t y feet w i t h t h e shot in track work. Foy, William " B i l l " the real veteran of Coldwater's athletic teams is a strong man along the lines of basketball and football altho he won his letters in the other branches, it was really in the first two where he was at his best. Osborn, Kenneth "Zeke", alga) "Zeke" won his basketball letter, it was in track work where he became state wide famous. Z e k e has won two track "C's" and bids fair to follow the footsteps of " H e c k " if he follows up his chance. H i s race a t Grand Rapids o f eight miles was a wonderful thing when we consider he had n o : trained f o r t h e event. " Z e k e " is one example of clean living and regular training and what can be done by systematic work. Hodgman, James "Jim". A l t h o rather late i n getting started, "Jim" was good enough to make up for his lost time when he d i d arrive. H e was an ideal plunging fullback and did much to helpour team of 1918 make its excellent record. McConkey, Lowell, "Mac" did not do much i n athletic lines u n t i l his Senior year but put in one year on the Reserves and then put in a year at end on the regulars and played a consistent game throughout. Gage, George, "Jawn" is left to the last as an example of plugging perseverance and what it will eventually do. H e played three years on the Reserves and in his Senior year won h i s coveted " C . " " J a w n " was t h e stumbling block of many an aspiring football s t a r by their connection with some part of his anatomy. H e i s the type of man Who invariably makes good.

T h i s was held at St. Mark's Parish House at eight o'clock. A l l invited were asked to come dressed to character. ize some song. T h i s novel idea caused a great deal o f fun. P r i z e s were awarded to the girl and boy most attractively costumed. A n o t h e r part of the evening's program was a colored scene. C h a r a c t e r i s t i c southern songs and dances were given. D a n c i n g and cards furnished amusement for the rest of the evening.

The Senior play after much effort on the part of the Director, Mrs. Milnes, and the pianist, Mrs. Thompkins, proved a great success. T h e class of '18 certainly appreciates their untiring effort and faithfulness in making it a success. The play itself was very "pat." T h e plot was laid in Paris during the period of war. T h e time of the leaving of the recruits for the front and their return to their homes expired during the two acts. The scenes and costumes were very attractive. R e g u l a r uniforms were worn by the soldiers and the village maidens were characteris. tically dressed in fancy peasant costumes. T h e music was martial and catchy. T h e characters were well suited to their parts and carried them out finely. The Senior class certainly is to be congratulated on the outcome of its play. �THE M I RKOR Page 29 3t goo THE GREAT RALSTON SHOES pug With Neolin Sole is the only Shoe to buy !our 3uorg — = S O L D O N LY B Y- - MITCHELL.— of us gnu Phone 473-J.

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

B u t n o w t h a t s_ �Page 20 T H E MIRROR the war has stopped, we find ourselves turning with a sigh away from this sort of literature and seeking some other k i n d t h a t i s o f more interest to us now. W e are more interested n o w i n the articles and books concerning the reconstruction of the world order, both material. iy and spiritually. We can trace the same change b y comparing t h e attitude o f the schools before and during the war with the present attitude. B e f o r e the war we began to see a strong tendency toward the technical specialization. T h e Gary vocational systems was talked o f everywhere and people were universally praising the idea of this sort of training. N o w we find a change taking place and a different motive is gradually acting in our school system. M o r e social sciences a r e being studied along with the practical things and we are t r y i n g t o develop the students in mote than the one line. W e find, o f course, t h e greatest p a r t of the work is along material lines, but at the same time we can see a nobler motive in the present ideas. I n the grades duaing the past year there has been a health crusade. N o w although t h i s was brought about primarily from the fact that a large percentage o f men i n the army were found to be defective physically because o f t h e neglect of some simple thing, such as the care of the teeth, nevertheless it is being carried out for other reasons too. T h e child's aesthetic senses a r e developed by this training and he is taught to see the aesthetic or beautiful part of even the small things of life. There is an unmistakable need for developing this ideal and spiritual tendency. W e must get out of the r u t that we have unconsciously sinking into. W e mm,t not let the gains w e make in material life, in mechanical or commecial achievements, satisfy u s i n themselves; we mbst begin to appreciate the other factors which also play a part in our success. W e perhaps would benefit ourselves i f we adopt an attitude like Hamlet, that "there's nothing in the world, either good or bad, but thinking makes it so," and begin looking for the joy and beauty of life. I f we do this, we surely will be able t o give back lo the world better service. T h e mind is really t h e most powerful force i n the world- history can do nothing other than develop as the social mind does. And so as last year's class left C. 11. S. with an earnest determination to do its part toward ending the great struggle, that was going on, let us go from C. H. S. with an equally earnest determination to do inir part in the social, economical and spiritual reconstruction. L e t us go our different ways, some to school, and some into the business or social world, with a conscious desire t o serve t h e world in the best way we can, and to give for the benefit of others the best that is in us.

P r i n c i p a l Betchel said in chapel that twenty-five freshmen were lost at the end of the first puriod. H e found t h e m floating around the hall. Sept. 15.—The Young People' Society gave u s a reception at the Methodist church and the Seniors gave us one, too, on the sixteenth and still everobody has so many mean things t o say about the freshmen. I don't think they're any different f r o m any one else. I have even heard them say: "The cows are in the pasture, The sheep are on the grass. But all the little silly geese Are in the Freshmen Class." Sept. 27—Tonight we had a class meeting and f o r president we thought Harry Stansell would satisfy us. V i r g i n i a McConkey was elected vice-president, and Edith Milnes, because of her rare ability as penman, was elected secretary. ( W e knew w e would have so many meetings that we would need a regular secretary.) A l i c e Calkins was our choice for treasurer. Our second and third class meetings were devoted chiefly t o de. cide the weighty question of class colors. F o r some unknown reason green and white were chosen. S o m e o f our mean upper class men said that they thought those colors were very appropriate. I ' l l bet that we won't be so mean when we get up in their places. Even though we were just freshmen we had t o send three members to the Student Council. H e l e n Hungerford, Russell Waldron and William Clarke were the ones we picked o u t —or maybe I had better say "picked on." This year the play, " M e r r y M i l k -maids", was given and we find on the cast the names of several of our talented classmen. Very little was done by us in athletics this year. B i l l B i r c h and Harry Stewart both won "R's". June 9—Today we get our cards ond finish our freshmen year with the High school picnic at Coldwater Lake. 1916-17.

W e feel t h a t now having elected Milo Ralston, we, as sophomores, have done our share in trying to preserve peace and. order. J e a n e t t e P a l m e r a n d Harriette Cocks w e also thought important requisites in attaining that end. On election day for the first time equal suffrage was granted and we all took advantage o f t h e opportunity and cast our first ballots. Hughes was our choice for President.

G u e s s that we can't brag about anything else in athletics except the " C ' s " that Mike and Herbie got in baseball.

" ' A s You Like It' is a synonym that's fit For the Juniors so they tell." Sept. 7—Mr. Guy Fox, our new principal, gave us his first chapel speech. Sebt. 18—The first indication of hospitality was shown today when Ruby Butcher entertained the Gynasium g i r l s a t h e r home. T h e "weenie bat" was a decided success and t h e g i r l s are hoping some other members may welcome them as Ruby did.

Love to e v e r y b o d y, JEAN �Page 30 T H E MIRROR Letter No. 2. Chicago, Ill. December 22, 1930 Dearest Folks: Well, I am back in old Chicago again in the holiday whirl of this big city. T h i s world surely is a small place. I n Rochester I met many of my old friends who were there for treatment at the hospital, but in this city it seems as if we have a regular Coldwater quarter. My first thought on reaching the city was to hunt up Beryl Swain at her apartment on Mt. Vernon Drive. I t was nearly eight o'clock, so we just had time enough to go out for dinner before going to the theatre. I t was a very agreeable surprise when I learned that there were to be other members of our party, Jeanette Palmer and Marjorie Westendarp. These three girls are the best of friends on account of their common interest. T h e y are costume designers for Lady Duff Gordon. O u r dinner was served in a most elegant manner and was certainly delicious. But this was easily explained when we found that the head waiter, Benjamin Lafene, sees that his Coldwater friends want for nothing. After dinner we went to the theatre. T h e r e was to be aconcert hy four noted artists who have just returned from an European tour. W e had arrived too late to obtain a program, so you can imagine our suaprise when the opening ensemble revealed to our astonished gaze our four old friends, Dale Shumaker, with hls beloved flute, Harriette Cocks with her violin, A l f r e d Rice lustily blowing his trombone, and Margaret Loring presiding at the piano. After the concert, we went to the stage entrance to greet these friends of ours, but it was with much difficulty that we did so because the manager, Mike Ralson, flatly refused to let us see his charges until he recognized us, and then you may believe the nine of us had a fine chat about all the old Coldwater bunch. I must tell you some of the encounters our musical friends h a d while they w e r e i n Europe. I n Paris, the American Amdassador, William Clark, gave a ball f o r his former classmates. I t was a very brilliant affair, and was marred only by the Ambassadors private secretary spraining her ankle. T h e y would not have thought so much of this had they not learned that the secretary was Winnif red Pollockwho had made the best record for speed on the typewriter of anyone who had ever taken it in our school. S h e was soon resting easily because the private physician, Roland Hilliar, a n d the private nurse, Gertrude Higgins, had skillfully reduced the swelling in a very short time. A l l in all this ball was one of the most brillant affairs they had ever attended. On their concert tour through the reconstructed portion of France they were admiring some beautiful landscape gardening when they saw the young lady coming toward them who was responsible for the work. They were naturally pleased to see it was Susie VauAken, who has become the foremost American gardener in this kind of work. This is an awfully long, and l a m afraid, somewhat tiresomeletter, so I will say good-night. Yours with love, JEAN. �THE M IRROR P a g e 31 L e t t e r No. 3.

The following is the record of each one of them: WALDRON, RUSSELL, "Sheapy-, acting captain o f last year's football, never found himself in athletics until last year. H e p u t u p a good game at fullpack and also played well at center i n basket ball. "Sheapy" has won two football "C's" and one basket ball "C". RALSTON, M I L O , " M i k e " was a sufferer from hard luck in athletics, but in his Senior year finally stuck the season out and was one of the standbys in the line.

HILTON, MAX, one of the Kinderhook boys, put up the star game of any individual on the football team and ought to make a good man for M. A. C. in a few years.
