Scanned text:
THE BLUE AND GOLD. '17. MRS. FERRIES. About the middle of March, Mrs. Ferries, the curator of the State museum at Lansing, gave the High School students a very interesting address on Michigan history. She brought with her, and exhibited many interesting articles of clothing that formerly belonged to very old residents of Michigan. Her aim was to awaken an interest in our State history and she urged the young people to help their state by gathering interesting items of our history from our old settlers who would be able to disclose many tales of interest to every body. POTATO AND GARDEN CLUB. On March twenty-ninth, Mr. Weston of Marquette. Upper Peninsula extension worker, talked to the school boys on potato growing, and garden work in general. He urged the organization of having clubs in order to have the work accomplished efficiently, and to have the boys properly instructed in gardening. His suggestions were enthusiastically accepted and the Board of Education and Woman's Welfare League have donated generous sums to help in carrying on this good work. It is hoped that there will be many good results on account of this movement, which undoubtedly will he evident later on in the year. L. A. C.. 1917. THE ECHO QUARTETTE. MEMBERS. Charter. Initiated. C. McNickle. R. Mehring. S. Conant. Toplin—Director. Wiesenauer—Chorus Director. The Quartette enjoyed a very successful season this year and flourished particularly in private. A public rehearsal was held one noon in the assembly of our mausoleum and with the assistance of some freshman girls, an exhibition was rendered which did justice to all concerned. The audience called again and again for the quartette and though pressed with outside engagements, they condescended to entertain, to a high degree of satisfaction, the members of our institution who do justice to Miss Mac Elhinney's art at noon meal. Though not appearing before the High School assembly, the members werepleased with their demonstration are open for engagements at all times. Let us make a survey of the personnel. First: Charles McNickle alias "Pickle." He carried our baritone parts with a fairly good degree of accuracy and contributed much to the organization in the line of "pep.' Steward Conant otherwise known as "Stew" was basso. He murdered the lower rung of the ladder of harmony and everyone congratulated him on his solos. Harold Toplon distinguished by the appellation of "Flat," was our concert soloist. He also directs at times. He sings a beautiful sky-blue monotone, and if it were not for the rest of the club he would be a prima donna. Milo Wiesenauer, at all other times "Wies," filled in with a glossy tenor. He would just as soon have a ten or twenty. Reuben Mehring with the cognomen of "Reub" was the drafted one, also gifted. He was initiated so that the crew would have a good sailor in it. He tended to give the quartette an atmosphere of music which it already possessed. The quartette has to thank Miss Mac Elhinney for the use of her room to practice in and for her firm and unquenchable faith in the members. Miss Davidson was also an enthusiastic booster for the club. The object of the Marquette was to cultivate and raise all forms of harmony to a high plane and though successful to a great degree we leave our unfinished efforts to future generations so that they may show what improvements they are able to devise to outdo our efforts. Wies. Miss Krogen : "Take that "gum out of your mouth." Milo (gulping) : "Can't. I swallowed it. Harold (from across the aisle) : "And it was my gum, too!" Teacher : What is the most nervous thing in the world, next to a girl? Walter : Me. — next to a girl! ! ! ! Why do they call the baby "Bill?" He was born on the first of the month. —Awk.
