D} IE, the class of 1905, do greet you We extend to you a thousand welcomes and are glad to have you with us at this most important time of our lives. Therefore, to our parents, to our teachers and instructors, to the members of the Board of Education, to all our friends here assembled, do we extend a most cordial greeting. Our noble class president ; our poet with his high ideals; our modest little historian; our fair young prophet- ess; our valedictorian with his lofty ambitions; our musicians, renowned throughout the whole community; one and ail, we joyfully receive you Our school life may be compared toa tiny stream which, started out in its long journey to the sea, first runs through beautiful meadow-lands where each bank is gay with many colored blossoms and the storms of the world are unknown. Gliding swiftly along, it is met by others which unite with it andall, together, flow gently over stony way’ until they, too, reach other brooks and at last all are joined in one great river which, rushing onward, pours its flood of water into the ocean In just this same manner, we, working our way gradually up through the grades, are ‘gaining daily something new” and soon we have reached that point where the streams unite and are ready for entrance into High School. It is here, in High School, that the river rages most wildly. Itis here that the rain-fall seems heaviest. It is here that destructive floods come most frequently. But it is also here that, on the banks of the roaring stream, are found cool and shady retreats where class-mates meet and troubles are forgotten; where teac hers seem nearer and dearer; and where the happiest, hours of life are spent. Leo S. Hitchcock Walter G. Scott “Who can talk, if you please, s reat when at occasions call.’ 7 ay > Men can: be great wien great. Ofe 2 ‘Till the man in the moon will allow it’s a cheese.” As we look back over our past history, we realize that we owe everything to our parents, our teachers, and out friends. As we look forward, we see before us the vast, untried ocean of life and we understand that we owe to our- selves whatever we become. The opportunities are many and varied but we are Standing alone. The river has reached the ocean and the real work of life must now be begun. We know that each one in this class is dear to the heart of s»m2bo1y here to-nizht, w2 feel that what we are en- abled to do toward entertaining you is time and labor profitably employed. We would like to tell you in detail something of our ambitions, our desires, our plans for the future, because we think that you are, ina measure, interested in us. There is not one of the illustrious class of 05 but what has a high and noble aim in life. Some of us may fail at first but there is nothing like trying. **Everything comes to him who waits.” Virgil has said, ‘Man isa ray of Heaven united to a clod of earth,” and it is our desire to make the ‘‘ray of Heaven” within us grow brighter and the ‘‘clod of earth” decrease. The ability and the power to accomplish anything lie within us all and, as for the Class of 1905, our strivings shall be “‘forward, not backward;’’ our aspirations, for the future, not regrets for the past; our prayers for success, our thoughts never of defeat. ~©oO~ “For how much was Uncle Tom sold?” “$1200.” Frackelton, ‘‘Did they give any trading stamps with him?” In Chemistry, *‘What does alcohol taste like, Mr. Becker?” Ray, ‘‘I- -I-- don’t know.” Mr. Butcher in American History, ‘‘Slaves could not exist above 36 degrees temperature, (he means) latitude, Mattie Peer Mae McGuire “‘But Oh, she dances such a way.” “Charm strikes the eye; but merit wins the soul.” Prophecy. MAE MCGUIRE. Dense are the forests about me, the leaves rustle softly at play, A few scattering sunbeim: through the thick foliage stray. . Alone I wander slowly thinking of my task in band, wishing for the power of a Sibyl, that I might enter the magical land. When Lo! before my very gaze a radiant goddess ap- pears And with these gentle whispers, dispells my rising fears, Fair maiden would you wish to know the fate of your classmates dear? Tf so just follow in my footsteps and you their destiny shall hear. She led the way with majestic gait, her long robes flowing down And mingled with her golden locks, a laurel branch formed for her a crown We wandered on through the shady grove, “till the rocks so gray and grim raised up before us their craggy cliffs, and sunlight turned to twilight dim. Stepping into a cavern, I followed the beckoning hand: cold tremor creeping through my limbs, with wavering glances the nooks I scan. And bere and there about me lay small oeaps of ghast- ly hue, the bones and skulls of a former race which this race never knew. Methinks | see advancing from the cliffs so cold and gray The withered forms of hoary seers, who in ancient times had seen their day. Passing on through the corridor I see with fear strick- en gaze Ray E. Becker “1 always was fond of eating and drinking, even as a child.” Will W. Butcher “My only books were w man’s looks, and to Joily 1s all they've taught me.’’—Shakespeare Seated heside a table a magician of ancient days. My guide spoke softly to him and he took up his charm laden rods Murmuring incantations, calling to witness the gods. And soon he pushed before me a pipe and foaming bowl Out of whose sparkling bubbles each one’s destiny did roll. I take the pipe of pure crystal, and dip in the magical dish, and blowing the bubbles from it, [ utter a venturesome wish. Now listen dear friends and classmates, to do my best Tl strive Ani tell you what the bubbles pictured for the class of Nineteen Hundred and Five. The first of our classmates whom now I see Is our farmer boy. Mr Harry Lee. Harry thinks farming is going too slow So now he is running a great big show. As the crowds rush in like bees,_making honey Harry does nothing but rake in the money. Behold a city on a mountain steep Adown whose sides the brooklets leap, It is here our President resides With Hazel standing by his side. That each had a purpose in school-days had oft been said, The purpose of Leo being likely to wed. May his noble profession fulfill all their needs As school. teachers progress by their works and their deeds. The next of our classmates whom now I S66. One from this world has decided to flee, Is Allen Dunton of the Geometry class, Who always in all of -his studies did pass. His mind on the planets so strongly inclined Determined by wisdom their secrets to find. He soared on high in a wonderful balloon that he had invented to visit the moon. O tell us! O tell us! O whither so high, In a strong clear voice came this reply, “To sweep the cobwebs out of the sky.” At the next bubble, I smile with delight For indeed it was no unexpected sight. In a neat little dwelling so cozy and nice Just as snug as two little mice, Lives our schoolmate Belle of former days Into whose sitting room now I gaze. Hazel Bacheler Belle M. Hoffman “A braim she has that never errs.’ “In every deed of mischief she had a heart to con- trive, and a hand to execute.” Dear Belle’s square shoulders are bent with butter mak’in For now she writes her name Mrs Harry Chapin. Our Reverend, Raymond Sumner goes to church once a week To preach and pray to sinners their wicked souls to seek. On week days teachesschool among the hills of Tyrone And all the rules of spelling are by his pupils known, With words of learned length and thundering sound Amazed the gazing rustics ranged around. And still they gazed and still the wonder grew that “one small head could carry all he knew.” And strolling a little farther it seems very queer But in large letters [can read the name of a famous civil engineer But stopping to think it was not much surprise Because Walter was always doing something to open people’s eyes. In the next all the colors of the rainbow I discern, But away from all colors my thoughts now turn My time is so precious all else do I fear For now I am looking for Miss Mattie Peer, I behold her with importance trimming hats With birds of all description not excluding the bats. Her Milliner business has filled welt her till And at last she has decided to elope with poor Will. Now, Ola, our actress, has won such great fame That the papers forever her name shall proclaim; In the future with stars that do brightly shine, May Ola stand forth unmarred and sublime. I have only two bubbles left to decide On which path through this short life they shall stride, On the knowledge of studies Ray and Jennie are per- fectly sound And on all important questions no better judges could be found. I had almost forgotten to mention one girl Whose mind from writing these lines has been in a whirl. So, if in an asylum Mae’s name you should find, You may know that this prophecy affected ,her mind. Thus briefly in verse has the future story been told Of the ones who have chosen the ‘‘Blue and the Gold” And on history’s page may the deeds ever be alive, And give honors great to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Five.

SS JENNIE CAMPBELL, aE DHE night is cold ; the moon in her queenly beauty is mounting the heavens. No sound disturbs the stillness of “| the night except the occasional rustle of the wind through the leafless trees. It is such a night as one likes to pass sitting by the fire place. Musing here by the sleepy fire this wintry night, the chime of bells, soft and low, comes sweetly to my ear through the crisp air. Those sounds are mnemonic—they are the sweet bells of the past ; and, in the time of a single note, I am back again into the vanished years. Again I hear the school bell dearly calling her old friends back after a pleasant but too short vacation. On the school ground, stand spirited groups of Freshmen conversing as to what future course they will pursue. A goodly few, more brave than others, determine to breast the storms of Latin, little realizing what a prominent place the class of 05 would assume. Three, more courageous in spirit. pursued it faithfully to the end and as the old proverb says, “‘It is the quality not the quantity that tells.” Again I remembered the day in 1901 when first we entrusted ourselves to the care of Our Alma Mater. Our numbers were larger then than they are today. Some preferred to pursue the more actiye duties of life but the greater nu mber had entered with adetermination to win. Atall our class meetings, we cheered our classmates on, joyous if it be to victory and hopeful if to defeat. But at ordinary times, we contend ourselves with the humbler position assigned us, paying careful attention to our upper classmates, so that when we should assume the dignity of seniors, we would be thoroughly qualified to occupy that position.(A very excellent plan for all future classes to follow. ) Our first and only class president was Leo Hitchcock. The first three years he attended to his presidential Ola Davis Jennie Campbell ‘She will have her way or have her fits,”” ,‘Modest as the morning,” duties but the last year he had more urgent business with a ‘‘Bacheler.” A greater share of our illustrious Scott’s time was spent with the ‘‘Peer.” much to the disappointment of other members who han longings and ambitions for the same goal. This seems to have been the case with former classes who have taken part in the Junior plays and we proved to be no exception to the rule. Lo! the bells begin to ring louder. Thesound like fog bells warning the ships from the rocks and reefs. Amidst the ringing of tke bells, I hear great peals of thunder, telling us of the approaching storm. The heavens are on fire with lightening, revealing the faces of the Freshmen as they. with quavering voices, recite their lessons The wind rises: the storm comes nearer and nearer, bringing destruction with it. Another crash, and the storm is at its height. The sky, which formerly was black, now turns to a copper color more blinding than the darkness. Boards and timbers fly past the windows Dignified Seniors, no longer so however, and more frightened than they care to admit, rush out of the doors and down the stairs into the storm, while the professor in a calm voice, assures us that it is much safer in- side than out in the storm where the boards and timbers are flying about. The frightened Freshmen cling to one another, thinking that the building must fall But the assurance of our teachers has its desired effect and we are calmed and resume our lessons as though nothing had happened How many delightful sleighrides were enjoyed by us to the homes of our classmates who were fortunate enough to live in the country! The first sleighride we participated in was to the home of Hazel Bacheler who was always plan ing happy times for our class. Here we were rather boisterous and careless, although now we have given up all childish sports We met with a few accidents but these always occur, especially with young people. Except for displacing a flower stand and emptying a dish of popcorn upon the floor, we returned home without further accidents. Again | hear the bells. In the distance, I see a sleigh filled with young people, making their way over the Tyrone Hills to the home of Bell Hoffman How bright were the eyes that glittered through the veils then like stars through a leafy wood! How silvery were the laughs that issued then from beneath the downy mufflers and caps! Miss Amberson accompanied us to keep the decorum although she was as jolly as any of us. We spent a most enjoyable time and departed in the wee hours of the night. Raymond Sumner ‘‘Whose annua! ciphering takes a ton of chalk. Harry Lee s an ant-hill of units and tens. ” “Whose head i Suddenly I hear a great warhoop announcing the approach of the warlike tribes—the Indians, who had been in- vited by the Junior braves and their squaws to a war hoop to be held at ‘Camp Snake in Your Boots” on the island. The Juniors soon became aware of the fact that the Indians had war paint and This was an event never to be forgotten. A spread was served to which the say- such a war dance ensued that was never equalled by the aborigines themselves ages did ample justice. The homeward journey was full of pranks of the savages and many people thought that the Indians, who had long ago gone to the happy hunting ground, had suddenly returned Although the members of our class were different in age, politics, and religion, yet, for the last year, we had but one heart and one head. Hark! suddenly the bells begin to grow fainter and fainter At last, they die away in the distance and with them the memory of our happy school days And, as I look, the last dying ember flashes up and is gone and I am left in the darkness.

SS ALLEN DUNTON. “Time goes, you say? Ah no! Alas! Time stays, WE go.” g ‘GIT the beginning of the last term of school, Dr. Sexton was examining us in his office and made the discovery Mi] that his pills were dving us no good. On counsiling with his assistants, he expressed his doubts as to our recovery and advised a change of scenery to prolong our existence. Feeling that the end was drawing near, we drew up our last will and testament, to wit:—We, the Class of 1905, of the Fenton High School, of the town of Fenton, in the county of Genesee, and State of Michigan, being of sound mind, memory, and understanding, with the exception of two members, Leo Hitchcock and Wil) Butcher, whose guardians are of the fair sex, strong minded and fully capable of transacting any business of their wards, do make our last will and testament in manner and form following: First, We give and bequeath to the undergraduates that old heap of brick called the Fenton High School which we have honored with our presence for the past few years. That building in which our early youth has been spent, and which we have learned to love as one learns to love home, for the memories of the days spent in the old brick school house on the marsh will always be cherished by the class of 1905. SECOND, We leave with many regrets, the teachers who run the mill of wisdom, who have flailed us, ground us into the refined product, and who now place us upon the market of educated jacks and—and—and the marriage market-- to be treated with respect and with sweetness if necessary. THIRD, We leave it to the board of education to procure new song books for the choir and we sincerely hope that this georp of yoathful masicians will be a howling success, Matilda Amberson C. W. Chapman English, German. Science,’ Math. FourTH, We give and bequeath the keys to the drawers in the laboratory to the chemistry class of 06 and hope that they will be able to amuse themselves with the junk they find therein. FIFTH, We give and bequeath to the Juniors a year of hard study and also our mantle of dignity which is perhaps a trifle large, but which we are sure they will soon grow to fill. SIxTH, To the boys we must give that one thing hard for us to part with, that old aluminum comb in the boy’s hall and which sadly needs the care of a dentist. SEVENTH, We give to our Sister, the class of 1904, a reminder of the defeats she suffered at our hands. But never will we return that orange and black banner hauled down by us after it had floated but a few hours. Even the Freshman flag floated longer. EIGHTH, We leave the five back seats, vacated by us, to the same number of Juniors, who must win them ina competitive examination, subjects.to be chosen by the Principal, and we advise them to begin studying up at once. NINTH, We give and bequeath to owners of melon patches, orchards, vineyards, and barrels of cider, restful nights and peaceful dreams of which they were deprived last autumn staying up in order to tan the hides of those young “smarties” with a charge of rock-salt. TENTH, We give and bequeath the amen corner inthe Amarican History class, lately occupied by Harry Chapin, to the Junior who the instructor thinks can do efficient work. ELEVENTH, We give and bequeath .everything overlooked, in our hasty inventory, to the board of education to be sold at public auction, the proceeds thereof to be used in purchasing baby food for the Freshies. LASTLY, We wish to thank the Freshmen for the respect with which they have treated us and also all others who have been considerate of our feelings and of our welfare. We do hereby constitute and appoint Superintendent Sexton sole executor of this, our last will and testament. In witness whereof, We the Class of 1905, the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal, this twenty-second day of June, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and five.

Life is long, and helpful knowledge Is a thing we’ve yet to find, As the aim of school or college Is but training of the mind. All are students growing wiser, Nature’s problems are yet rife; Human minds must patronize her, We are pupils all thru life. Success in life means ever onward, Stimulated by the will, If not forward, then ’tis backward, For we’re never standing still. In our onward, upward striving, Let us aim to do no wrong, But keep virtue ever thriving In our lives, however long. Every youth should have an object, What it is, let each decide ; But to follow out that project Even fate must be defied. Let us then use well this training, Cast away all base desires, Nor abuse it in attaining ‘Yo the heights of learning’s spires. As upon the field of honor, So it is in every art, That, in all this world of valor, Discretion is the better part. BOARD OF EDUCATION C. F. Rolland, A. R. Ingram, C. Tinker, Sec’y. L. E.

Plays of Juniors all remind us We should piek them out with care, Or, graduating, leave behind us Many a well contented pair. Tho you see this Fenton High School In college students would excel. Yet, in its side-lines, ’tis a tool To shape our future life as well. Some men are only great by birth, And others renowned have grown, But nineteen-five is great thru worth, And the efforts of its own.

Could a few lines extol the great, Or persuade grim Fate’s decree, Then, gladly, would I dedicate This uncouth poem to thee.

Qa WALTER G. SCOTT. JHE Golden Age is not in the past, but in the future. It is notin the origin of human experience, but in its consummate flower. Our future is our fairy-land and we are lost in vivid imagination of things to be. We have no happier moments than those we spend in solitude, abandoned to our own imaginations. No man is found in whose mind airy thoughts do not some times tyrannize and force him to entertain ideas of things beyond the limits of sober probability. The world of reality has its limits but the world of imagination is boundless. It is the divine attribute of the imagination that when the real world is shut out, it can create a world for itself and with magic power can conjure up glorious shapes and forms and brilliant visions. The sub-marine boats and air-ships of Jules Verne have now appeared in actual and successful existence. 1950 is far distant but imagination says that there will be an important improvement to the successful wireless telephone. The operators may see each others faces as well as hear their voices. The image of the face will be cast upon a sensitized mirror above the receiver by the agency of electricity changed into transverse rays of light. The close relationship of light and electricity is very easily seen since light is nothing more than the wave motion of ether, a jelly like substance which permeates space, and electricity is a strained condition of that same substance. Machines will be devised to change light into electricity or electricity into rays of light. On account of the cheapness of electric power, water, the most abundant compound, will be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen and be used for fuel and light. Its components produce the hottest flame known and therefore the probability of this statement will be seen. On account of the mania of Americans to save time, short cuts will be made through the earth. There will be a hole, lined with a steel tube, between New York and Yokohoma, Japan. Cars of steel will make jourtieys through every half hour by the gravity system. The air will be exhausted from the tube and both the tube and car will be charged with positive electricity to reduce the friction to a minimum and prevent collision with the sides. It is a curious fact that at the center of the earth people will have no weight and they may enjoy themselves there by floating around like birds. The center of the earth is considered to be the abode of Satan but you will be going so fast that the chances of being caught will be entirely obliterated; thus the sinful will have no fear of taking advantage of the short cut to—--through the earth. Air-ships will have made journeys to Mars and will have found this planet to be inhabited by a degenerate type of the human race, commonly called in America, that is in the early stages of their development, trust octopuses. To me there is something more thrilling and exalting in the thought that we are drifting forward into a splendid mystery, into something that no mortal eye has yet seen and no intelligence has yet declared. Our best preparation is to see well to the present and to do our last duty. Life is a great gift tous and naturally we ask ourselves what is the main object of our existence. Life is not merely to live but to live well. There are some who pass through the world like straws on the river, they do not go, they are carried. Such are not wanted for the future but those whose motto is “Push and perseverance attain success.” It is that which satisfies but we are never perfectly satisfied. Perfection can not be attained by man but the higher the degree he attains the greater his success. This occasion is held not in commemoration of the completion of our school work but to commemorate the separation of those who have been united during the last four years in class work and in the friendship of class mates. We are here for the last time and to bid farewell. Members of the Board and patrons of the school, it is but fitting at a moment such as this to gratefully express our thanks and appreciation to you who nave spent so much time, in money und effort, in the development of our means of education And beloved teachers you have seemed as generals to us in the conflicts of the last four years and one of the sad- dest thoughts which attends us to night arises from the knowledge that we are to part from you. You have urged us on to success again and again and finally to our great victory to-night. We give to you the devotion of a soldier to hi victorious general and we part from you hoping that the future will prove that your confidence has not been misplaced. Dear class-mates, your thoughts are roaming through the chimerical land of Utopia. Numerous are the fantas- tical visions which you conjure up before your eyes. Your noble souls are filled with grand and glorious aims and im- mortat longings, with thoughts that sweep the heavens and wander through eternity. Your imaginations have created only beauty, justice and happiness, which are everything in this world. I can only wish you a realization of these air castles which you have built. The method of pushing forward to the realization is to plan with audacity and to execute with vigor, to sketch out a map of possibilities, as you have done, and treat them as probabilities. Mr. Sumner recites, ‘Sherman captured Savannah and sent it as a Christmas present to Lincoln, thus bringing the city back into the Union.” ; First Editor (looking up from chemistry book,) “‘Say do you suppose, that when anybody gets roasted in these grinds, they turn into their oxides?” Second, ‘“‘Well I guess yes. Mattie turned into a pe (e)roxide, her lips precipitated some adjectives she knew and her eyes evaporated daggers and other unspeakables.” ‘ Too bad Miss Westerby couldn’t appreciate the smiles of Butcher, Frackelton and Becker. Miss Amberson, ‘‘Mr. Becker please answer my question if you and Mr. Frackelton can stop playing marbles on the floor long enough.” Mr. Chapman, ‘‘Mr. Dunton, is boiled water good for bathing wounds.” Allen, “Y - -a- yes, after it is cooled.” The Public Schools of Fenton. District schools organized in the ’80’s and °40’s were consolidated in 1857 by the formation of a union school district and incorporated by special act of the legislature in 1885 as the Public Schools of Fenton. They have avoided fads, shams and ruts, met the needs of the community and grown in numbers, influence and popularity until they now occupy a place in the foremost rank among the schools of the state. In accomplishing this result, the Fenton Schools have enjoyed the superintendency of men as Elisha Jones, of University fame, State Superintendent Cochran, McKenzie and other leading educators. Fenton is justly proud of her public schools. In equipment not only of her High School but of the grades she has few equals In drawing models, material for teaching arithmetic and other sciences, music charts and books supplementary reading matter, current literature, ete. Fenton has invested about one thousand dollars for grade work alone within the past three years. The Fenton High School has been on the list of accredited schools of the University for the past thirty-one years. At first only two courses, but in 1891 the scientific course was also approved so that now her graduates may enter the University for any course, except the one requiring Greek, without an examination During the last year Prof. Whitney of the University faculty inspected the High School and as a result the work is approved and the ‘‘diploma relation” is extend- ed for the full period of three years. Prof. Whitney was very pronounced in his praises of the Fenton High School. Graduates are not only admitted to the University of Michigan, State Normal College and a)l other colleges in the state but to prominent colleges beyond the limits of Michigan Examples of these are the Case School of Applied Science of Cleveland, Ohio, a technical school of high character, and Smith College of Mass., one of the largest and most conserva- tive colleges for women in America. Changes have been made from time to time in the curriculum each tending to strengthen the courses. Labora- tory work supplements the work of the text book in the natural sciences and school rhetoricals are systematically carried out. In fact a graduate of even ten years ago would be much interested in the changes of that short period. Of the 337 graduates of the Fenton High School during the past 34 years, 86 graduated in the first ten years, 83 in the second decade and 168 in these last 14 years. Sixty-seven of these 168 graduates have attended the higher institutions of learn- ing, 55 have engaged in school work as superintendents, principals, specialists, etc., while others have become successful lawyers, dentists, doctors, business men, etc. That Fenton High School is growing is shown by the fact that the last two classes have contained 43 pupils. Equipment. THE LIBRARY.—The school library now contains several hundred carefully selected volumes—which increases materially the efficiency of the school; as it is especially rich in books directly supplementary to the school studies. The reference books enable the students to work out topics in a clear and comprehensive manner. In literature, history, and science, students enjoy high advantages, and their enthusiasm in research proves their appreciation of them. The library of the Fenton high school is one of the most interesting places in the building. On three sides of the room there are book cases, reaching from the floor almost to the ceiling, and these are filled with the best books that will furnish information to all. In one part numerous works in history furnish reference books for those who are engaged in studying Ancient, Mediaeval or Modern history. Next to these are books in science, written by master minds, Philosophy and civics may also be pursued by one desiring In the study of English, it is important that students should study carefully the life and writings of an author and this can easily be done with the help of the works on literature and biography. The best historical novels, such as Scott’s, Thackeray’s, Eber’s, Lytton’s, Mulbach’s and Taylor’s works are to be found among the works of fiction, while all of the best novels of the day that have been written with a purpose are in this library. Bound volumes of the Century, Review of Reviews, Cosmopolitan, McClure’s and the Chautauquan are here and are always in great demand. Two hundred sixty three volumes of history, ninety-four of travel, one hundred three of biography, one hundred forty of science, thirty-eight of poetry, one hundred six of literature, three hundred ninety-one of fiction, one hundred ninety miscellaneous besides a number of juvenile books make a library of which few schools of equal size in the state are able to boast. All these works for study and for pleasure are at the disposal of pupils of Fenton public schools, the only restriction is that books be cared for as if personal property. A READING TABLE, containing the latest issues of the Review of Reviews, Century, Cosmopolitan, and McClure’s Magazines, '“he Outlook, Literary Digest, Scientific American, Week’s Current, Great Round World, Moderator and New England Journal of Education; with several college and university sheets, to which students have access every day, furnish current literature and keep them in touch with the life of this busy and progressive age. Teachers’ Training Department. To prepare the students of the high school for county examination, a teachers’ training class has been organized During the month previous to the teachers’ examination, the seniors instead of persuing the regular 12th grade studies, will review theory and art of teaching, orthography, school law, grammar, physiology, U. S. History, civil government, geography and arithmetic. The chief aim of this class will be to afford to young people preparing to teach just. such training as will fit them for examination and success in teaching. It will be especially valuable to students who contemplate teaching as it will enable them to review some of the important common branches in connection with the senior studies and be ready to pass a teachers’ examination when they graduate- It is also arranged for the benefit of non-resident students who can not afford to take a full high school course but desire to prepare for teaching and at the same time enjoy superior advantages afforded by the high school. These students if qualified will be allowed to enter the high schoc] and pursue those subjects which will best qualify them for the examination that they intend to take. This work together with a month of review inthe most important of the third grade branches will give them thorough preparation. This class will be very beneficial to graduates and young teachers who desire to review special studies and thus increase their efficiecny in the school room by an added amount of information and becoming acquainted with better methods of teaching. All desiring to teach are invited to join this department and to persue jast such studies as they most need. The graduates and students who have attended the Fenton High School are in demand because the school has a reputa- tion for thoroughness and accuracy. The standing of the school in which a teacher has been educated has much to do with his snccess Teachers preparing for a third grade certificate will find classes to suit them. A teacher who holds a third grade certificate can easily prepare to pass the examination in Algebra and Natural Philosophy, the only additional branches for the second grade. The one who holds the second grade can qualify himself in General History, Geometry, and Botany, and thus secure a first grade certificate good throughout four years.

Soy MAUD E. MILLER. M3 I sit by the open window and look at the far distant hills, crowned with their dark and verdant tops and print- ing their bold outlines on the cloudless sky, over the rolling fields, glowing with the budding beauty of May and as the lights and shadows change with each passing moment, there comes, within my range of vision, many a scene of pleasure and sadness. But there is not one amony them as dear to me as those of my three years of high school life. The fresh breezes, stealing in at my window, awaken a train of thoughts and memories. First come those of the Freshman vear. Tt was in the fall of nineteen hundred and three. The new year had just begun and the school had opened for the first day There was a great noise of saws and hammers as the building had not yet been completed. Occasionally the win lows bevame moving pictures as some workman dropped into view with painted face, wreathed in smiles. The pupils were very nervous and anxious to find out what books they would need. Particularly so tae Freshman class which was composed of a goodly number of sly boys and girls. Nearly every one said, ‘What alot of Freshies ? Some Sophomores and Juniors were even so heartless as to pass cutting remarks on that famous class Such as:— We saw a thing Of greenish hue And thot it was A field of grass, But when to it We closer drew We found it was The Freshman class. In the meantime the so called ‘‘Freshies” had selected what course to take, some taking up Latin and others English. But who can get the start of a Freshman? Among us were many bright and humorous stvdents and, even at that eurly date, they gave promise of making their mark in the world. : ) During the first part of the year, we were rather sly but, in the winter, sleighrides drew our attention and so we ventured to have at least one. Everything had been planned but, before Friday drew near, a January thaw set in and the snow quickly disappeared. But, nevertheless, we bravely rode thru the mud in a small omnibus which was crowded to overflowing with our jolly class. So the driver said that he could not carry us any farther unless someone would get out and walk. It fell to the lot of most of the girls to alight and wade thru the mud. It wasa sad looking crowd that arrived at fenny’s. However, soon the dejected looks vanished, the ever prevailing “‘good spirit” of the class revived, and again hilarity ruled supreme. : In the spring of the same year, the class again planned a good time. This chanced to be a picnic at Long Lake. All went well until a certain known one proposed to take ‘ta Margaret a-sailing.” As he was never ina burry, he took his time. But, at last, when he concluded he was ready, the Margaret was no where to be seen, Finally, he looked on the water and there she was rowing with a youth whose sun-kissed locks shone brightly on the lake. His hopes and aspirations all fled “Like snow falls on a river One moment white, then gone forever.” The events of the Sophomore year were, reception for the Freshmen at the home of Wallace Cook, and among others was the farewell reception given at the home of Marguerite Latourette from which the class parted with pleasant memories of a successful year. : September of nineteen hundred and four found us all fully fledged Juniors There ‘were new studies to pursue such as German and Physics. The new German teacher was not acquainted with our names and personal habits, so we enjoyed many a hearty laugh. But soon the tide of our fortunes changed and Julia Phillips entertained us at her home where the slumbering passion for writing poetry awoke. Each guest had to write a love poem to the person opposite him at the table The following verses are some that have been saved: “T fain would write a sonnet To tell thy praises many But when I try to hold my pen I cannot think of any. A colon is a mark of punctuation But this must be a mark of affection So I fear I fain must cease.”—Alice Van Atta. “SONNET TO THE FAIR.” ‘Dear little Thanny, sweet little lad, Identical picture of your old dad. Stomach full of oysters, beans and bread, With a wonderful knowledge in his head.’”-— Will Frackelton. During this dream of the past, the sun has silently but gradually disappeared behind the faraway hills. Its reflection casts a beautiful rosy glow over earth and sky. But now even that has been hidden by the veil of night It is the lonely hour of twilight and imagination is queen. My thoughts are still with the class. I wonder what sequel the coming years will develope. Manya lofty ambition is entertained hy the members Some have planned to become teachers and musicians and still others will be doctors and lawyers. Our class has one unique distinction. There is among our number a person who has never, in any study, fallen below ““E,” a mark which stands for excellent. One has promised to become our class orator as he has shown great ability in that line. So TI believe that, as time rolls on, the outside world will be proud to claim the members of the class of 706.

Farewell, one year more will season this in thee! Class of ’07. aD EDNA M. ANDREWS WAS in the fall of 1908, that our far-famed class entered the Fenton bigh school. How insigvifieant we felt that day, beside the dignified sophomores, juviors, and seniors, and bow confusing our classes were. Bat the **Sophs ” made us feel quite at home by tendering us a magnificent reception, and we svou became accustom: dto the routine of our high school life. Though the word ‘‘Freshie,’’ still greeted our ears on every side. we began to show our real spirit, and our origin- ality first broke out ina class meeting, where we selected our colors, gray and green. What the rest of the high school found so amusing in this, we could not imagine (?) but we replied to their taunts of “The Freshmen they are green to day, And they’ll be green until they’re gray.’’ by the rhyme— “Rah, Rah! gray! Rah, Rah! green! What’s the matter with the Freshmen, They’re not afraid to be seen. Are we in it? Well I should smile, We’ve been in it, all the while ”’ Events still greater in importance were soon to take place. At our next class méeting we planned for our class benner, and the next morning the students arrived at the high school grounds to find a flag, proudly waving from the top of the tallest tree. But alas! the envious eyes of the sophomores could not bear to see that emblem of our genius, and the second day it mysteriously disappeared, and that was the last of our flag, except for the strips of green eagerly seized by the Sophs. After the flag episode, our-enthusiasm was dampened, and but once more did our class indulge in any prank§ during the first year. Our botany teacher was in the habit of taking us on long trips to the woods, (where we at least learned to climb fences and jump ditches). One recess, after one of the aforesaid walks, we took our customary seats in the recitation room. Then strange things began to happen, for various inmates of the woods began to crawl or jump down the aisles. But alas! for the culprits who let them loose ; all too soon they repented. The year passed quickly away, and after a well-earned vacation from the trials of freshmen, we gathered in the high school room to begin the duties of our sophomore year. Habits of industry were probably formed when we were freshmen, and too, we had become more dignified, so that this year has been an unusually quiet one for our class ; and now at its close, we picture in our minds our many class-mates and their experiences. Mabel is seen reading, “Betwixt Two Fires,’’ and she softly sighs as she applies it to her own life; while Clara hums ‘Oh where! and oh where! is my Highland laddie gone ;?’ and Carrie in her imagination, hears a merry whistle, as she studies, and the tune of ‘‘Teasing”’ floats gently to her ear. Another scene is laid in the laboratory, where youthful mineralogists are experimenting. Inquisitive minds decide to investigate the contents of an innocent looking vial; but alas! their fingers are hastily withdrawn, and they look with mute astonishment at the cause of their trouble. Then pictnres of our past school life rise in quick succession. A fair haired boy is giving the definition of a tragedy thus :—‘‘A tragedy is a play where they all get killed at the end ;”’ while another in reply to the question, ‘‘What two organs does the assophagus connect,’ says, ‘‘The brain and the backbone.’ The eighth grade room now rises before us. Our teacher is explainiog his relation to the illustrious Abraham Lincoln thus: ‘Abraham Lincoln proposed to my grand-mother and she refused him. She regrets it and sodoI.’”’ Then the scenes fade away, and we feel that in spite of the trials of a school life, pleasant memories will always accompany thoughts of our school days. Class of ’08. Qa MARY C. TUNISON. DHE high school life is fullof amusing and significant happenings. whi h are interesting to all those whose thoughts find time to dwell on them. Each member of the class hws oue or more contributions to make to a story of these events. As one of our English students said in composition, ‘The history of this dog began when it was young,’’—so our history begins in our youth and, although the freshman class has had less time in which to make history than the others, it has improved each moment of its tin.e, and has already offered several innovations in the line of class activities. Previous to our entrance into high schoo! life we hv difficulties innumerable in passing through the grades _suc- cessfully. Miss Seely in the fifth and Miss Loomis in the sixth gave us the benefit of much advice and many lectures. It was here we formed the habit of study. Miss Morgan gave us ail an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge we had garnered in the previous years. But the three years’ experience and more too was needed if we were to be successful in the program. Miss Dauner had laid out for us in our last year in the grammar school. Fenton teachers have hobbies? No, though for two things, position and articulation, one deserves immortality. One hot and sultry afternoon, when our wits were wandering, Isuppose in green fields, our clerical Sphinx, after a long drill on words containing the long sound of u, andafter making the statement that the proper pronunciation of the letter u was a test of a person’s education, propounded the question, ‘‘ What do you call the second day of the week?” The question was a general one, and provoked a general response, but above all those forty voices rose Sheldon’s shrill treble Tiyusiday. When quietly informed that Monday was the correct answer, ho looked like last year’s burdock that boasted itself so proudly in the fence row The advantage we took of our opportunities was manifested in our conduct when we entered the high school. Contrary to the usual role, the majority of ys decided to wrestle with the tangles of Latin. Since then, none of us hav, regretted our decision, aud we have hopes of going through the whole four years withont a break in our ranks. Two days after we entered the high school, we held a class-meeting. This first freshman class-meeting was very interesting, or so the sophomores masr thought for one of them even thrust his head throagh the glass door, in order to gain admission to that session. Two weeksafter we had become freshmen, Clarence tried to convince our English teacher that a dog had reason -‘Why”’ said he “I have a dog that knows as much asIdo’’ ‘*Which proves nothing’ said our teacher. ‘I've seen smarter dogs than that myself.”” Then, too, the social side of school life is not to be ignored and very ambitious has the Freshman class‘been in that direction. First, an elaborate reception was tendered us by the Sophomores, at which only two of the Soph boys weer present, whether or uos they feared the charms of the Fresh. girls or whether they were fearful lest the freshman boys would be given the preference, has never been determined. It is sufficient to say that the boys of the higher clas® concealed themselves behind trees and watched the little boys walk past with all the girls. The Halloween party was a success in every detail,—undoubtedly because a committee entirely composed of girls arranged the program. It was here that one of our boys established .an important record in history, by eating fonr pieces of cake, three pieces of pie, and two dishes of ice cream. By this time, we considered ourselves quite well established in the party line, but just to displace this idea the sophomere boys paid us a visit at our next party, and presented us with a huge box securely tied. Although we expected to find a sea-serpent or a snap-dragon within, yet just to exhibit our bravery, we opened it in sight of the outsiders and found within about five cents’ worth of candy. We voted that the class be an exceedingly liberal one, but we rescinded this when finally, after a period of about two hours, we extricated our teeth from the gummy mixture, and were able to converse once more. Luckily, there was a brave dog in the house, who persuaded the troublesome visitors that it was time to depart and we proceeded in our merry making with the quotation, ‘All’s Well that Euds Well ” However, when we found ourselves inside Latourette’s spacious home, we were somewhat surprised to see ihat we had two junior boys with us. Probably they came for the benefit of their two respective sisters, but it is possible that they came for the benefit of the one junior girl who helped to make things pleasant for the freshmen, and the two junior boys. Our sleigh-ride was very enjoyable, or so it must have been, for our chaperon was forced to remind us of the laté hour before we made our departure. However, we were glad that we had achaperon in our possession so that we did not follow in the footsteps of the sophomores \ which, by the way, are rather large,) and stay out until nine a. m. for we have never yet been so fortunate as to have a hostess who wished to keep us to breakfast. We went with fear and trembling to our valentine party, for it was at the rector’s ; but once inside their pleasant home, this feeling was dispelled by the hearty welcome which they gave us. The girls all went provided with valentines with which to present their compliments tothe boys The boys returned the compliment by giving to each of us their photographs in the line of comic valentines. Perhaps this was due to a lack of respect for us; more likely it was due to a shortage of cash. As a class, we desire to thank the seniors sincerely for the aid they have been to us in the past year, and we know that we wonld never have succeeded in subduing those two troublesome classes, the Soph. and the Jr., without the kind assistance of the Seniors. We further wish to offer congratulations, for we realize very forcibly that the amount of work accomplished before graduation is not a small task. But the history of our class is not complete as yet. Before we reach that stage, our mathematician has yet to square a sewing circle ; our botanist has yet to determine the vegetable family of Otto DuBois’ turtle ; our English student will yet probably quote the scripture in this manner, ‘‘He spake the word, and cathoppers came, and grassipillars innum- erable :’”’ onr Latin student has yet to find his mistake when he transiates “It’s a poor mule that won’t work both ways > Our entire and united mental powers will be centered upon the unsolved problem of what part we shall take and how best to act it, in the great drama of Sophomore life.

HE greatest college game is football and, as we classify ourselves among the smaller colleges of the state, we must also tell a part of our football history in ’04. In this great game Fenton High ranks among the best in the ; State. Only twice during the entire season were we scored against and then only by teams far heavier than we. The most noticable feature of Fenton High work was steady, speedy, and open playing. Fenton invariably played the stronger game in the second half, rolling up her scores after she had worn out her opponents by her superior speed and line bucking. Only once was she scored against in the last half. Our first game was with Durand, And after expecting a hard game we were surprised with the results. 16 points in the Ist half and.23 in the last. Naturally after winning by a score of 39 to 0 we thought we could defeat anything but when the first half was. ended at Owosso we real- ized our mistake and settled down to-business. Only once after that could Owosso score and the game ended with the ball near Owosso’s goal line. After this, Fenton played the game with a determination to win and never stopped their two hours of daily practice throughout the season, and it was this tnat won the later games. : Pontiac was our next victim. This game was won by Fenton’s characteristic playing. Line plunges in the first half and a speedy variation of plays in the second half. Next on the list came Howell and for unsportsmanlike playing, they took the prize. The less said of this game the better. The Fenton city team was the next victim. This proved an easy victory for the High school. Now came the hardest game in the schedule, the second one with Pontiac, and through the medium of this little book we wish to thank the members of that team for their kind assistance in our sad list of accidents during the game. Smith went into the {ame with a wrenched knee, Hovey with a sprained leg and Becker with a broken rib. Before the first half was over, Frackelton lost some teeth and Hiscox had to be carried from the field. During the last half Butcher wrenched a knee. In this last half, Fenton substituted players and Pontiac was unable to score. Our next game was with Lansing but after telegraphing at the last moment they would be here, they failed to appear. Fenton played the next game with the Detroit Argonaut Athletic Club This was a closely fought game from start to finish, neither side being able to score. | Holly was the next team on the schedule but forfeited the game and did not appear. The last game and probably the best game was with the Warren Athletic club of Detroit, on Thanksgiving day, Over four hundred people turned out to see this game. Both teams fought for every foot but neither cculd score. This was the last game of the season and the only thing left for us to do was to receive our well deserved sweaters Of the team in 05 we must speak in prophecy. Only three of the veterans leave and their places will be more than filled by the new men, and with our plucky little half back still left to set an example, we trust the old school will keep our laurels green and turn out a team that will even surpass the team of ‘04.

Track Team. QD WILL W. BUTCHER. To establish a new line of athletics in a High Schocl is not an easy task. Altho we had unbounded talent this year, yet we could not find an opponent worthy of our exertions in this part of the state. In February we met and elected Becker manager aud Butcher captain of the ‘‘Would be Track Team.” As dates were impossible and as we were the only High School in these parts who had as yet taken the step, we were therefore forced to contest for our own High School Honors For all that our efforts have not been as successful as we hoped, yet it is up to the succeeding classes to profit by the example of the class of 1905. There is varied talent here and there is no reason why the 1906 Track Team should no, be the champions of central Michigan in this line of Athletics. After seeingand testing the qualities of the contestants, the captain offers the following team as a representa tive of the F. H. S. of ’05.

Reactiuns often occur when previpitates are s Sentor’s Soliloquy. One noon in golden October ’04, a Senior, having been told that there would be two tests that afternoon, strolled uneonsciously upon the green and, with forebodings most direful, upon the blessings of education did thus comment: To graduate, or not to graduate,—that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler inthe mind tolearn ~ The salts and acids of outrageous Chemistry, Or to take arms against long lessons in German, And by opposing end them? To study,—to learn,— Some more ; and by that learning to say we end Our nonsense(+) and the thousand natural shocks That Seniors are heir to,—’twould be a desolation Not to be allowed! ‘lo study,—to learn;— To learn! perchance to know! Herr Gott, there’s the rub; For in that learning what won’t we know? « When we have ceased the Senior’s toil, And pause for breath: there’s the consideration That makes calamity of a Senior’s life; For who could bear the dates in English History, The '04’s flag, the Freshman’s idiocy, The pangs of examinations, that electric bells delay, The wrongful ‘‘I’ll excuse you” and the spurns That patient merit in Physics often takes, When he himself might his college enter With an examination? who’d these burdens bear To toil and sweat under a Senior’s life, But that the fear of something after school,— The Superintendent’s office thru whose door Mostly Freshmen g0,—puzzles the will, And makes us rather enter those schools we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus long study hath made Seniors of us all; And thus the thoughts of nearing graduation Are sicklied o’er with the parting views of school life; And these coming tests of great length and consequence Without regret our faces turn away, And blast all thoughts of passing.—Soft you now! The bell is ringing!—Oh Lord! if you want to help This kid, now’s your chance. Grinds. aoa ‘‘What human kind desires and what they shun, Rage, passions, pleasures, and impotence of will, Shall this satirical collection fill.” It is with feelings of the highest pleasure that we take this opportunity to inform the members of the Class of 704 that we have as yet nothing to “regret for the $1 00 paid for the use of the flag pole,” neither have we, O Seniors of the Past, not the slightest sensation of sadness or remorse for having so hospitably sheltered and entertained thy *‘beauteous banner” for the past year and a half. 05 Co-eds—‘‘The World’s Fair.” W.

Now just think of me making such a mistake as that.’’ Miss Amberson, ‘‘Tell about that Bull of Demarcation Mr. Dunton.”’ “Bull of what !’” We sincerely hope we have not overlooked anybody in these grinds.
