Tentative Arrangements for
Commencement
It is considered proper to have the
commencement occasion as democratic as possible. The class, with proper
supervision, should carry the major
responsibility of planning and administering the program, as many-
students as possible should participate in the program. When such a
policy is carried out it means the
pupils will be strengthened, the school
better interpreted to the community,
and the parents and patrons should
have a new appreciation of the work
of the school.
The school year closes May 31, so it
is necessary that everything be
checked up and kept in shape to
avoid as little waste of time as possible.
Each teacher no doubt will have an
opportunity to help some with the
program by sponsoring some student
or students with special parts. This
is thought to be good policy to provide an adviser for the students, and
also to guard against something unpleasant or unwise appearing in the
program later.  .
Instead of formal announcement of
rank of students it is most likely another scheme will be followed. Three
scholarship groups will be recognizee!
such as—Very High, High, and Honorable Mention. Very high scholarship will carry three stars, high will
carry two, and honorable mention
will carry one with each name as it
appears upon the program.
The above groupings are determined at the end of the seventh month
ship requires at least 15 A's includ-
of school work. Very High Scholar-
ing 100 points and no failures. High
Scholarship requires at least 10 A's,
90 points and no failures, while Honorable Mention requires 75   points.
According to the above plan tlie
following seniors qualify as follows:
Very High Scholarship—Esther
Gross *** (including the valedictory
honors.) Helen Dunn *** (including
the salutatory honors.)
High Scholarship—Mildred Ernst,
two stars.
Honorable Mention—Doris Hack,
Eldean Betz, Clara Lambarth, Carol
Trout, each one star.
The class has decided on a two
evening program, the first devoted to
the class day exercises, and the second for the regular commencement.
They have elected the following to
parts:
History—Muriel Karn and Stanley
Hartman.
Prophecy—Glennis Gordon and
Glenn Hamlin.
Poem—Clara Lambarth*.
Giftatory—Doris Hack* and Donald Royal.
Will—Marie Schmid and Eldean
Betz*
President's Address—Leonard Marken.
Class Song is being written by Mildred Ernst**.
Others in the class not included in
the above list are: Raymond Clark.
Karl Bird, Jesse Bird, Alvin Jedele,
Lorna Lange, Erwin Feldkamp, Florence Weber, Marguerite Halsey and
Bernadine Dicks.

Roosevelt vs. Saline
April 29, Saline went to Ypsilanti
to meet the fast traveling Roosevelt
team. They are favored to win the
Huron League championship this
season. Saline went there with the
idea of trying to win, the. spirit a
team that expects to go any place
must have. The Ypsi lads took the
field with the idea they were to have
a practice game, but before they
knew it Saline team was in the lead,
5 to 2, this was in the second inning.
It was a hard fought battle from beginning to end, after the Roosevelt
team found out this was not to be
a practice session but one which
might cause them to lose the title
which they had hoped to gain. Both
pitchers were in top shape and the
rest of the teams backed them up in
a grand way. After, five more innings of play, Roosevelt had managed
to close up the lead that Saline gained in the first two innings and was
in front by a score of 9-6 when the
game ended.
Saline started out like real champions and played a grand game till
the finish. Their opponents played an
equally good game of ball, satisfying
the   shivering   spectators.

classes for this climatic musical event
of tlie year. Approximately 2.000
children from all grades have derived
benefit from this program. ■ They
have learned folk songs of the Scotch.
Jrish and Finnish peoples and folk
dances of this country and others. The
program has also included instruction in music appreciation.
Rehearsals are being held from
time to time at University high
school, Saline high school and Chelsea
high school.
The program of May 22 will include a brief address and selection?
by the civic orchestra of Ann Arbor.
NOW "PL"?, TELL  ON"K
Howdy, everybody, here are your
snooping reporters again; at least
that's what some people are calling
us. Oh, well, so far we have always
managed to take it on the chin, perhaps this time we can do as well.
This week we have a scoop for you.
It seems that the other day in
chemistry class two, or was it three,
girls were having a badB case of what
Mr Knicely calls the giggles, when
they were called on to recite and
couldn't. Later it develops that the
real cause of the trouble was a note
which one of lie girls had written
and had torn up—she thought it was
small enough—and a curious member
of the other sex had secured this
precious bit of information and was
piecing it together. Now we have
the report that the note contained
a bit of information that was very enlightening to the curious member.
Don't blush, Emerson, we don't mean
any harm, but please leave our correspondence alone.
Also we have a bit of news from
the study hall, which is presided over
by tlie czar of that domain. It seems
tliat the other day some innocent fun
lovers didn't stop talking when they
were supposed to and so the whole
assembly was to stay taf ter school an
hour and a half. Hotvever, a ray of
kindness finally pierced the czar's
heart and he told us that all of us
who had positively not talked were
to sign a slip to that effect, and they
could be released. Believe it or not,
over half of our chatter-boxes signed
that slip. Mr. Knicely has since informed us that this slip is to be used
for a special purpose. We are very
curious to find out what that will be.
You can never tell what goes on behind the human (?) brain.
Did you know that if there were
a few laws put into effect that over
half of us would be behind bars? So
our dear teacher informed us as for
the millionth time he asked some
girls to spit out their gum.
This week we are going to have a
few of the best poems that were turned in to the English teachers, printed instead of the usual school news.
These poems are written about some
famous paintings which we studied
this week. I hope you will enjoy
them, although they would probably
make some of our real poets turn
over in their graves. We found it
very interesting to. study these
famous paintings and we certainly
wish that more of you could have
seen them.
