THE SCHOOL HOUSE
There on the bluff, above the town
Smiling out on the wid'ning sea,
Sits t he temple of learning that will never frown,
That is dearer than de'<lr to me.
Its bricks of red like a time-worn cloak
Defy the tempest's blasts,
Within, its desks of maple and oak
Are carved with initials hard and fast.
The guardian of our younger days,
That designates our future life,
Could n :,ver know that its power sways
Our battles in the eoming strife,
Against the menace of the years
That saps our wisdom and our will.
Farewell to thee, we say in tears,
Thou templE> of learning upon the hill.

OUR SUPERINTENDENT
"Our science teacher and coach is le-aving us!" That was the cry that issued from
Superintendent Bailey's office in August of 1925. One month to find a new man! The
teachers' agencies were bombarded. One of them sent word that a young man was in
charge of the laboratories of the Firestone Steel Products Company, down in Akron,
Ohio, whom they thought would meet the requirements. His credentials were received,
letters and tel-egrams were exchanged, and so it happened, that R. W. F'ullerton be-
came a member of the teaching staff of Harbor Springs High School.
He was born in Sterling, Kansas, one of four brothers. A wise father, realizing that
boys need space in which to develop brawn, brain and manhood, moved on-to a Kansas
farm. After a boyhood on the farm, elementary and high school education, Mr. Fuller-
ton took his collegiate training at Sterling college.
He spent eight months in the army, during the World War, returning after the war
to Sterling coll ege for more. work in educational causes.
Before his work in the laboratories in Akron, he taught for sometime in Wayland
Academy, a private school in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. At interval s, he has attended
the graduate school of Chicago University.
A change in the superintendency at the end of Mr. Fullerton's first year in the Har-
bor Springs schools, advanced him to the position of principal of the high school. Un-
usually difficult situations confronted him in the school during the next year, and he
showed such wisdom and tact in dealing with them, that when there was a vacancy in
the office of superintendent at the end of the year, he was offered that place. He has
held the position very creditably fo.r three years, and now, because of the health of his
fami ly, has felt it necessary to move farther south.
As a teacher of science, Mr. Fullerton has the happy faculty of inspiring an enthus-
iasm for the subject among his students. To most high school students, chemistry is a
new and strange subject, but a few weeks spent under Mr. Fullerton's tutelage, makes
them ardent investigators.
During the three years in which Mr. Fullerton has been superintendent, there has
been a noteworthy harmony among his teaching force. This can be attributed largely
to his fine discretions in selecting his teachers, and to his customs in putting them on
their own resources as much as possible.
Mr. Fullerton has none of the austerity that we sometimes think. is a necessary
characteristic for a successful educational administrator, but his sympathetic under-
standing and friendly helpfulness has gained for him the re-spect of teacher and pupil
alike. Genial friendliness, cheerful optimism, fine integrity of purpose-make up a
winning personality that has given him many friends among the people of Harbor
Springs.
Any appreciation of Mr. Fullerton would go astJray if something were not said of
Mrs. Fullerton. She has endeared herself to those of all age.s whom she has helped. As
a musician and a leader of young people, she has fitted a large place in the communi-
ty. It has been said that, "the greatest service t hat can be rendered a growing person,
is that he should be brought into contact with the richest and best in life." It is that
contact that Mrs. Fullerton has given the young pe.ople whom she has led. Harbor
Springs is grateful to her for her unselfish service.
Teachers, pupils and citizens will follow Mr. and Mrs. Fullerton with their interest
and good wishes wherever they may go. -M. B. C.

OUR PRINCIPAL
Mr. Howard N. Dickie graduated from Michigan Central Normal of Mount Pleas-
ant, Michigan with A. B. degree in the spring of 1926, and has been identified with
the Harbor Springs Public Schools ever since, coaching both football and basket ball,
besides the regular class room work in 1926-27 and during the thre.e remaining years,
as principal of the High Sschool. His teaching has consisted of courses in history and
economics.
Mr. Dickie has many admirable qualities and not the least of these is a quite con-
sistent tendency never to push himself. However there are two marks of distin_ction
which he possesses to an unusual degree. The first of these is the ability to make a
decision. It is a rare quality given to few people. He arrives at correct conclusions
quickly. (This is one of the chiefest of the reasons why he is so constantly in demand
as a referee in both basketball and football where correct conclusions arrived at in a
minimum of time is a quality of mind and character much desired.) He decides, and
decides on the spot. It is a quality particularly valuable to any one who has to do with
school administration. It means the ability to quickly analyze a situation and deter-
mine the solution. It commands the respect of the teachers who work with him and al-
so of the students. They never need be in doubt that Mr. Dickie will know his mind in
any situation that may arise.
The second quality is the poweJ of personality or force of character which causes a
man's opinion to carry weight, to be respected. This ability too, is not generally had.
Mr. Dickie is always in command of the situation. Having arrived at a decision he has
the force of character which compels respect for that decision. Nor is he without a
fine touch of humor. Students frequently smile at his wit which goes a long way to-
ward making his reproof seem less severe, but nevertheless recognizing the reproof.
And there is always the recognition on the part of the student body of the eminent
fairness of his attitude. They know he will insist absolutely upon a Csrtain course of
action, not because he has determined it, but because it is the right course.
When good administrators are talked about in the time to come, Mr. Dickie will be
remembered and admired for these two qualities, especially, and for the confidence
they engender in student body and townspeople alike.

FAREWELL
After twelve long years of steady, conscientious work,
our class stands before the portals of Graduation. We
have striven hard, with this goal in sight, and now that
we have achieved our aim, we realize with regret, that
our student days at Harbor High are at an end.
Ours, the second largest graduating class in the history
of the school, is unanimous in its thanks to the teachers
and friends who have helped us during our high school
days. Our present and future successes we owe largely
to the influence and guidance we have received at their
hands. Their kind and patient efforts will never be for-
gotten.
We look back with pleasure on the many activities in
which we have participated, sometimes failing to realize
our goal, but always striving to set an example for suc-
ceeding classes to follow.
It has been our aim to uphold old Harbor's standards, and as we leave the school,
we sincerely hope that our underclassmen w;Jl do their best to honor our school's
traditions and always maintain the glories and vi ctori es of Harbor High.
-Olaf Stiansen.

Of all the plaudits and high' honors that

Of all the quivering thrills we generously gave

Our bounty fl owed to all the towns around ;

And so we slowly go from he.re below

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
In the fall of 1926, a group of forty-four very gre sn littl e fre.shmen crept timidly
into the Assembly ha ll for their first days of high school. We were exceedingly
green, but would not believe it until the Annual s came out and pToved it beyond a
doubt. For some reason the sophomores neglected to initiate us a nd t hat fact shall
go down in t he hist ory of the school. We reali zed that to make progress we would
ne ed good pilots and so Stewart Tillotson was president a nd Miss Swanson,
Mi ss Troyer, and Mr. Scalf were our advisors.
Perhaps we were not as successful as we might have wished, but we returned t he
second year even more determined to make good. Lloyd Taylor found himself hold-
ing the reins. Mr. McClain and Miss Troyer were our advisors. Perhaps we weren't
green anymore for our picture in the Annual was of natural color again and we were
complimenting ourselves on our progress. However, Mi ss Hamilton quickly took us
down a notch when she explained t hat "sophomore" meant 'wi se fool' with special
emphasis on the 'fool ' .
The next year, when we were Juniors, we chose Miss Silhavy and Mr. McClain as
advi sors and Dal e Faur.J.ce as Chief Pilot. We a ccomplished much that year , n otabl e
among which weve the "Whoopee Hop" "J-Hop" and Junior-Senior Banquet. Be-
sides this we establi shed a new custom in the school-a Juni or play.
But as yet t he crowning point in our progress was ahead. " hen we came back to
school in September of 1929, our feelings were vari ed. To a ll of us it was an import-
ant occasion-our last year in high school. Under the capable leade,r ship of Olaf
St iansen, and with the guidance of Mi ss Benson and Mr. Di ckie, we have made thi s
one of the most eventful in the hi story of Harbor Springs high school. We put
on a Carnival and a Seni or Play-"Adam and Eva." 1,Ve have produced under the
editorship of Andrew Boynton a lasting annual. We have tded our best to make pro-
gr ess. Some few that were with us at the beginning of our high school days we,re un-
able to keep the pace t he leader s set, and dropped behind. But now that we are at
the point of graduation, and l ook back over the years, we see that, perhaps, we coul d
have improved some t hings a bit or changed some methods, but on the whole, we are
pretty well satisfied. Of course we owe a great deal to the members of the faculty
and to the rest of the school. We have not all received fame but at least we have
striven. \Ve have had representatives of the class in declamation, oration, debate,
and athletics. So it is not with a sig-h of regret that we look back on our school days
but a f eeling of exultati on as we step forth into the great world of progress.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY
On September 26, 1929, class elections took place. For the .Tunior class, the follow-
ing officers were elected: Doug-las Hill, to hold the reins as president for the forth-
coming year. The Juniors felt that in case of accident, or otherwise unavoidable
trouble, Lewis Ketchman would be the one to carry on in the stead of Douglas, con-
sequently, Lewis took t he chair as vice-president. Dorothy Peil"ry was elect : d to fill
the very important position of secretary and treasurer. Having second choice of the
faculty for sponsor, we chose Miss June Dow, and it app : ars that we could not have
done better, for Miss Dow has devoted her unlimited time and ability to raise our class
to the highroads of success.
We have been very, fortunate in our attempts to make money, by selling at the var-
ious games which were allotted to us. Especially was this so at the Petoskey-Harbor
g1amo::, although we feel that we could have made more had the crowd not been so
large.
A party was sponsored by our class, which was well attended. A "Kake-Walk" was
the distinctive feature of the evening, although it is whispered that those who got no
"Kake" were by far the lucki est. \Ve wonder!
The "Little Clod-hopper", which was presented on February 5th, by the talent of
this class, under the direction of Miss Dow, was very we)! received. It drew a large
crowd, which included several people from East Jordan.
The J-Hop, which is the big event in the lives of the upper-classmen, will be given
later in the year, in the gym. \Ve are looking forward to a good crowd, and, above all
things, H good time.
Then, will come the time when we, as future Seniors, will show our r cspec.t and good
wishes to the present Seniors, by spreading for them a banquet, which they will have
cause to remember as one of their most cherished farewells.
We, the members of the .Junior Class, at this time wish to thank Miss Dow for all
she has done to make this year, for us, the most successful we have so far experienced.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
As a ship launched upon its !"econd voyage, we, the Sophomores, start-
ed out in the year of '29.
With Miss Crisman as Pilot and Milford Schrader as Captain, could
any vessel be ship-wrecked?
Among our capable crew we have, foremost, James Bradley and George Norton as
Coxswain and Ensign and whom we have found, during the year, always
ready and eager to Heave-Ho!
An outstanding event in our journey was a party which we gave aboard our ship.
To this we invited all freshmen, and thereupon proceeded to show them a merry
old time-. 'Vith stunts, such as walking the plank, we passed the evening away.
Our ship sails on and on-we have planned no campaigns but are contented to
float listlessly over the mirrored waves of fate.
However, all of our class does not sit idly upon the decks admiring the beauty of
the passing days. Our coxswain, James Bradl ey, is making a name for our good ship
with his abil ity and skill in both basket-ball and foot-baH. Although outstandng, he
is not the only one among our crew who is interested in these sports. Milford Schrad-
er, George Norton, Kenneth Caskey, and Joe Juilleret have been pleasing
surprises to th!e.ir class.
We take great pride in being able to claim June Maeser, one of our mates, as a
member of our ship. She ranks foremost among the speakers who sail on our great
sea. With her speaking ability, she has carried away many honors heretofore un-
known to members as young as she. She deserves much praise for her work both as
a declaimer and a debater.
Another member we are proud of possessing is Betty Graham. She, also, is cultur-
ed in the use of her voice. She has the reputation of being the heroine of the operetta,
" The Singer of Naples," which is unusual for a Sophomore. Not only in singing does
Betty excel but in the art of being heard above all others. Many times in our school
year, have we h e ~ a r d the lusty voice of Betty, ring out above the pounding of the surf.
Many more are there who deserve praise for their abilities and those not so gifted
hope to be of help in making this journey the most successful ever ventured upon.
May we sail safely back to port with our colors, blue and sil ver, floating high upon
the mast.

FRESHMAN CLASS
On September the sixteenth, nineteen-hundred and twenty-nine, thirty-seven fresh-
men enrolled for the take-off on a four year non-stop flight th'rough high school.
We decided that we must organize at once, and that a choice of offi cers should be
made, for to start the year without officers is like starting the flight without a pro-
peller. On September the twenty-third, we met, thirty-seven strong, in our first class
meeting. As a result of our balloting, Frank Sorensen became president; Marie
Taylor, vice president; Helen Faunce, secretary; Kenneth Ketchman, treasurer; and
Mr. Brown, advisor. We chose red and white as our banner colors, may they carry us
victoriously through our journey!
Of course all Freshmen must be initiated, and we were no exceptions. On the
twenty-ninth of October, we received our summons and were forced to undergo such
horror as the Sophomores prescrihed for us. Though to their dismay, we enjoyed our-
selves even during the miseries of the initiation.
Late.r in the year the gym of the high school was the scene of a gay costume party.
Although evelryone did not come in costume, 'we had a glorious time, and proved to
the world that freshmen. know how to give real parties.
we expect in the near future to return the Sophomore party-not an initiation,
however. We hope it will be as much of a success as theirs was.
Although only Freshmen, we have many members who have won places in the es-
teem of the upper classmen. Frank SorensE'n, ou:r class president, was admitted to the
football squad and has been very successful in the second basket ball teoam. We look
for great things from Frank in another year. James Bassett also took his place on the
second baske.t ball team. James made up for his smallness with his pep. Kernneth
Ketchman, as captain in the pep team has rounded the school pep into great shape.
Marie Taylor was a faithful membe-r of the pep team and also carried away laurels in
the local declamatory contest. And we must not forget Helen Faunce, who with Frank,
was admitted to the Pep club because of her good sportsmanship and pep.
With so successful a take-off, can any plane be forced down? We fly high, but our
pilots are wise.

JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES
At the first class meeting of the year, the Junior Hi elected its class officers as
follows: president, Curtis Erickson; vice-president, Josephine Bester; secretary and
treasurer, Martha Sager; sergeants-at-arms, Wanda Corey and Victor Lane.
Due to the ope.retta, the next class meeting was delayed until the middle of N ovem-
ber, when committees were appointed for the selection of the motto, class color, class
flower, dass yell, song, and constitution.
An enjoyable meeting was held at Thanksgiving, when an appropriate program was
given and games were played.
In January the committees reported, and the following were chosen; class flower-
Lily of the Valley; class colors-green and white; class motto-"Climb up, tho' the
rocks be rugged." Two class yells and two songs were adopted and the constitution
was accepted.
Next came a discussion of the Jnnior Hi basketball tournament at Charlevoix, and
two ye.Jl leaders were appointed from each grade: Margaret Bradley, Carleton
Cummings, Sybil Powers, Carl Sehwertfeger. Pl a ns for the spring party were also
started at this time.
We all participated in sports outside of Physical education, such as basket ball for
the boys, and various other forms for the girls. In the skirmishes between the seventh
and eighth grades, the seventh was victorious, winning three out of four games. By
far the most exciting of these battles, was the preliminary to the game between the
Harbor Merchants and the Pellston Pirates, the seventh grade winning by one point,
after three overtime periods.
The Junior Hi girls formed a .Girls' Athletic Association, under the leadership of
Miss VanDenBerg. They elected their officers as foHows: president, Kirstine Soren-
son ; vice-presi dent, Margare.t Bradley; Recorder. Helen Barr; secre-tary-treasurer,
Evelyn Clocklin. The pu:r,pose of the club is to promote good health and enjoyable re-
creation. Points are earned in various ways, and those g irl s earning 300 points by the
end of the1 year, are rewarded by a letter.
One of the outstanding achievements of the year was the Operetta, "Twilight
Alley" prese.nted November 8. The scene of the operetta was laid in the tenement dis-
trict of New York. The leading characters were, the mother, played by wanda Corey,
her Catherine Wright, Sybil Powers, Dehra Hoover, Yvonne Kindig, Gladys
Gregory, Vera Mae Moore, Frances Scalf, Georgia Jones; son, Carleton Cummings; a
girl from the South, Gwendolyn Hazelwood, and the rich man's daughteil", EllaLouise
Rose. These people were assisted by a ch0rus of boys and girls, their alley friends.
The story of the operetta told in song and dialogue, is of their struggle against the
dirt and soot of the city.

PEP CLUB
During the past two years we have had in our school a new organization, called the
Pep Club. This club was formulated for the purpose of inciting pep and enthusiasm at
our various athletic meets. It was instituted by Mr. Dickie, and has been under
his direction during the two years of its existence. Ten charter members
were selected from the four classes; three Seniors, three Juniors, two Sophomores
and two Freshmen. Incidentally they are entitled to membership during their stay in
high school. Every year there are to be added one Junior and two Freshmen members.
The cha.rter members of the Club are as follows: Elsie Crowl, president; Beatrice
Adams, vice-president; Lloyd Taylor, secretary-treasurer; Josephine Darling, Phyllis
Fetters, Betty Graham, Paul Crowl, Lewis Ketchman, william Perry, and Jo.e Juilleret.
The Freshmen Pepsters for this year were Helen Faunce and Frank Sorensen.
Laurence McNamara completed the personnel of the Senior representatives. The elec-
tion returns were as follows: Lloyd Taylor, president; Josephine Darling, vice-presi-
dent; and Paul Crowl, secretary-treasureT.
Pep-meetings were held before all the home games and much enthusiasm was shown
on these occasions. It is impossible to say whether this was due to some of the splendid
Pep-speeches (mostly about gum-chewi ng Sophomores) given by the faculty, or to the
determined efforts on the part of the Club to make these meetings successful.
Our "Pep" was kept up at the games by our three new cheer l eaders, Louise
Schwertfeger, Marie Taylor and Kenneth Ketchman. Fortunately they will be with us
for a few years yet. "Let's go Harbor, Rah !"
. ?'his club goes down as one of the most active clubs in the1 history of the school, and
It IS the desire of the Senior members of the club that it will continue on through the
coming years as such. It is pleasing to note that this year the student body has been a
more ardent backer of the teams than it has ever been before. May we, the founders
~ f this club, not feel some elation that our efforts have produced such lengthy strides
oward the goal fot which tho club w a ~ organized?

FRENCH CLUB
Soon after school began in September, Miss Balgooyen, who has been the able
sponsor of the French and Latin clubs in past years, called the first meeting of UH!
French club. The eiection of officers took pla.ce and the following were elected:
Andrew Boynton, president; Lloyd Taylor, vice president; and Louise Schwertfeger,
secretary and treasurer.
Soon our plans were all made for our annual initiation party for the benefit of the
first year members. One of the best initiations in the history of the school was put
across on that night as the newly included members will tell you. Dancing and re-
freshments were enjoyed by all, directly following the initiation program.
A week before Christmas vacation, the Latin and French Clubs put on their annual
Christmas party. Gifts were exchanged, and candy, peanuts, and chocolate covered
apples we<re distributed among those present. For the amusement of the guests, the
French club presented the play, "Goldilocks." The Latin club also presented a play
with characters dresse-d, if it can be called dressed, in Roman costumes. The audience
held its breath for fear that George and Chauncey would lose their tog_as. This disaster
did not occur, however, much to the relief of the crowd.
The climax of the evening was the trial of Jame.s Sager, Esquire vs Miss Pitts. Miss
Pitts attempted to convince the judges that James Sager was insane but failed hope-
lessly, and was lucky enough to get away before she was charged with contempt of
court.
On March ht the High School gym was the scene of a very pretty costume party
in ce[ebration of the Mardi Gras. No one was admitte-d without a mask, and prizes
were given for the best costumes of which there were a great number. Miss Janet
Scalf was elected Queen of the Mardi Gras with Louise Schwertfeger, Helen Hahn
and Betty Graham as her attendants. A delightful program was enjoyed followed by
dancing, and everyone claimed the party was the best that they ever had attended.
In the spring the French and Latin clubs held their annual banquet which closed
the activities of the year.
We, the members of the French club, wish to express our appreciation for the co-
operation that we have received from Miss Balgooyen, both in classes and outside ac-
tivities.

THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB
The Girls' Glee Club organized in the fall, with Betty Graham as president, Jose-
phine Darling as secretary-treasurer, and Marvel McPhail as librarian. Our first real
accomplishment was our participation in the Follies, the big "hit" of the Senior Carni-
val. The three choruses; The Sailor Chorus, The Sleep Chorus, and The Rain Chorus,
were very well worked out and were the main attactions of the evening.
For a time after, we worked on our regular music and then, in February, we started
work on the music we were to sing in the Glee Club Contest at Travt(rse City. How-
ever, because of conflicts with S'Pring vacation, the contest was moved up two weeks.
This made it impossible for us to compete, because at the time, we we1e working on
our operetta.
Our biggest project for the year was, of course, the operetta. With the aid of the
Boys' Glee Club, we very successf ully presented "The Singer of Naples" on April 23.
The parts from the Girls' Glee Club were assigned as follows: Gabrielle, a wandering
street singer, and sweethe-art of Guido, Betty Graham; Teresa, la Contessa de Tris-
tiane, who helps handsome young men find fame and fortune, and then breaks their
hearts, Janet Wright; Teadora and Marga1ita, who love the countess-oh yes! Lila
Lauer and Louise Schw-ertfeger; MariEtta, a mannequin who tries to collect he;r two
month's back pay, Marie Taylor; Signora Tintinetto, mother of the countess and newly
married, Josephine Darling.
We feel that our success has been due to the direction of Mi ss Benson, and we ap-
preciate the time she spent in making our work succes&f ul.

QUARTET
As another new organization this year, we have the Senior Boys' Quartet. After a
little practice last year, we started again this fall with renewed energy. Under Miss
Benson's capable leadership, we progressed rapidly, giving ou'r first public appearance
at the Senior Follies. The Follies consisted of some of the latest song hits, and our
selections were in keeping with this idea.
As rehearsals continued, we received new songs and appeared before a Parent-Teach-
ers' meeting with "The Bells of St. Marys." Our plans for further appearance were be-
gun when we were asked to sing at a Pep meeting. Changing our work, we composed
comic parodies to several snappy tunes; the subject being the team and the oncoming
game with Petoskey. \Ve also rendered our opinions of our female frie>nds across the
bay. This form of entertainment was well received so we continued with it, repeating
at the Annual Drive. In addition to a popular hit, we sang parodies which were lliP'pre-
ciated by nearly everyone except those of whom we sang. Our subject ran from a
handsome desert sheik to a valentine; thence to a blond lad from Grayling. (For infor-
mation, ask Dale, Paul and Josephine.)
To vary our re>pell'toire we practiced several hymns which we sang at a meeting of
the Christian Endeavor for the entertainment of their East Jordan visitors. At the an-
nual costume party of the \Vomen's Federation, we returned to popular music and sang
3ever.al late songs. Closing our ye.ar's work, we sang at our Class Night exercises.
The entire quartet graduates this year, and it is our hope that some underclassmen,
more talented than we, will carry on the work.
The quartet consists of: Andrew Boynton, First Tenor; Lloyd Taylor, Second Ten-
or; John Swift, Baritone; Olaf Stiansen, Bass:
