The Blue and Gold - 1917 yearbook cover for Linden Lake High School
Scanned text:
THE BLUE AND GOLD. '17. tion at the very thought of making your debut. And when the eventful evening arrived--remember how you felt!---how insignificant beside the conceited Sophomores, the egotistical Juniors, and the stately Seniors! You were pushed into the background. You couldn't dance. You couldn't talk. What could you do? What were freshmen for anyway? Oh, they made excellent wall flowers! Enough of this dire evening. Now let us return to our Sophomore year. We are SOPHOMORES. Enviable position! Now we can assume a superior air to the emotional "freshies." Another party, and although we are quite anxious to go, we have become skilled in the art of controlling our joy. By this time we are able to dance a little, and manage to romp around and show off before the infant class, in spite of the disgusted glances from the upperclassmen. Our Junior year comes truly the grandest sensation in our High School careers. We are neither timid or overbold. We manage to keep our places. We have most of the fun and none of the embarrassment. LITERARY SOCIETY. In 1912 a girl's literary was organized in the High School. This was for the benefit of the girls taking English and having an average of go or above. Meetings were held once a month. At the meetings a program was carried out, usually consisting of a piano selection, a review of a great masterpiece, the life of some noted writer in English literature, and a reading from a continued story. All members looked forward to the meetings with pleasure. This society was quite active until 1914. In this year the freshman classes in English started societies of their own. It consisted of all freshman taking English. The meetings were held monthly during the regular class period. At these meetings all work was carried on in congressional style. The work depended upon the work being studied in class at that particular time. At some of the meetings debates were held, at others memory work was required, while at others original poems, stories and verses were given. This society lasted only two years, but its results upon the students have been beneficial, and the meetings will always be looked back upon as the bright spots in our careers. M. S. J., 1917. PRESIDENT HUTCHINS' ADDRESS. Our High School was honored by a visit from President Hutchins of the University of Michigan, who lectured in the High School auditorium on the evening of October twenty-sixth. His address was largely attended and was enjoyed by many graduates of the University and parents of the students attending at the present time. PARENT-TEACHER'S MEETING. On November tenth of the past year, a very successful parent-teacher's meeting was held in the High School sembly Hall. Vocal solos were given by Miss Adgate and Mrs. Rather, and Miss Engstrom of Calumet rendered a piano solo. Mr. Rather also gave an address to the parents and teachers present. Later in the evening there was a social period when Miss Mac Elhinney, with several girls of her Domestic Science department served fruit, punch and wafers. MISS JUSTIN'S LECTURE. The week before Christmas, Miss Justin of the Domestic Science Department of the Michigan Agricultural College held an extension course in scientific cooking in the Domestic Science kitchen. She gave several very instructive lectures, and demonstrated the cooking of vegetables, candy, and desserts. SONG FEST. A community song fest was held on the evening of February sixteenth in the High School chorus, and the Boy's Chorus of the grades gave several selections, and the Misses Dorothy Haefer and Frederica Williams rendered vocal solos. Following this, toe entire audience sang "Annie Laurie," "My Bonnie is Over the Ocean," "America" and several other well known songs.
