DEBATING

The school year of 192O-21 has been
most successful year for the East Jor-
dan High School debating team. Five
boys have participated in debating this
year-John Gunderson, Gayle Hudkins,
Arthur Secord, Floyd Liskum, and
Paul Franseth. All the debates were
held under the auspices of the Michi-
gan High School Debating League.
The question for debate was "Resolv-
ed, That the adjustment of disputes
between employers and employees
should be made part of the admins
tration of Justice" The East Jordan
High School debated both sides of the
question with various schools.
The local school won all the debates
in this section, defeated the winner of
the Upper Peninsula, the winner of
the district south of us, and was one
of the last two teams left in the state
still undefeated. At the final debate
with Kalamazoo Normal High School
at Ann Arbor Kalamazoo won.
The teams defeated by East Jordan
this year represented high schools in
the following places: Boyne City, Char
levoix, Gaylord, Pellston, cheboygan,
Petoskey, Saginaw, Iron Mountain and
Allegan. All of these debates except
two were won with an unanimous de-
cision.
The East Jordan High School, by
winning the State championship two
years ago and second place in the state
contest this year, has become known
all over the state of Michigan for her
debating teams. Debating has given
the school prestige that scarcely any
thing else could give.
In addition to this debating has been
of immense value to the local school
because it has given a stimulus to pub

BASEBALL

The East Jordan High School has
been uniformally successful this
season in baseball having won the
northern Michigan championship. The
local team has defeated the high
school teams of Charlevoix, Mancelona,
Boyhe City, Traverse City, and Central
Lake one or more times each and has
not been defeated by any OF these
teams at any time this year.
The splendid pitching of John Gum
derson of course was the main factor
in the success of the team. His record
is without doubt the best of that OF
any high school pitcher in this section
of the State if not in the whole State.
During the entire season there has
been but one earned run off him. The
remainder of the team have been
aggressive and have made an excellent
showing in batting. All OF the boys
have been hard workers, out to prac-
tice every time, and trying every min
ute. They have succeeded in making
record this year tqat will be very
hard for East Jordan or any other high
school to duplicate.

THE EAST JORDAN
ATHLETIC FIELD.

Within the past year the block Of
land directly east of the high school
building has been purchased by the
Board Of Education and the street
which separated the two pieces of pro-
perry has been closed by the city. This
makes large athletic field and play
ground directly part OF the school.
Over one hundred pine. stumps have
been taken out of this land and there
remain few yet to be removed. With
just little more work, the athletic
field will be in splendid condition for
football and baseball.
1t is planned to put the field in the
very best of condition and later on to
add track and tennis courts.
The splendid athletic field added to
the new high school building gives an
educational plant and complete equip
ment which is not surpassed by any
school in northern Michigan.

HOUSEHOLD ARTS
DEPARTMENT

The Household Arts department OF
the high school is very complete. The
kitchen contains fourteen electric hot
plates which have proved excellent for
cooking. There is complete equip
ment of cooking utensils so that four
teen can work at the same time In
addition to this there is equipment to
serve complete banquet for one hun
dred twenty-five people.
The sewing-room contains tables and
machinery and other apparatus for ex-
cellent work in sewing.
The dining-room while not yet finish
ed will serve to make the department
very complete. In addition to this
there are eight tables to be used to
serve lunches and they will be placed
in the corridors next to the Household
Arts department.

BASKETBALL

Although the East Jordan High
School has not played basketball for
several years, the results in basket
ball during the past season were even
better than could ordinarily be expect
ed from an experienced team. How
ever considering fine fact that only one
boy in the East Jordan High School
had ever played in an interscholastic
game before, the record of the boys is
remarkable.
The first game in the new gymnasium
was played on February between Elk
Rapids and East Jordan. The score
was Al to II in favor of East Jordan.
Other games were played with Bellaire
Kalkaska, Charlevoix, and the Boyne
City American Legion team. The local
high school won over half of these
games.
At the tournament held at Petoskey
all of the schools in Northern Michigan
were represented. In the elimination
contest at this tournament the local
school defeated Bellaire, Traverse City
Catholic High School, and Onaway and
lost to Harbor Springs in playing for
second position. This entitled the
boys to go to the State contest. They
played at the University gymnasium
and lost to Lake Linden.
Although the East Jordan team was
a light team they were noted for their
team work and aggressiveness. Coach
Speltz is certainly to be congratulated
over the fine showing which the boys
have made.

art of throwing balls, he found great
favor in the sight of his masters and
fellow men. And it came to pass that
he proved himself so skillful that he
was chosen captain with one consent,
and many were the victorious combats
he led.
Three years thereafter the children
,, of Charlevoix and the children of Boy
ne City and the children of Traverse
City came to combat against them and
each in turn was delivered unto his
hand.
5. Among. this assemblage were also
men gifted in the art of oratory, and as
time went on their eloquence waxed
great and they went over the state
speaking and great multitudes came
from afar to hear them.
Is. Some of their number were poets
and the greatest of these was Vernon
Alexander.
AT the beginning of the fourth year
there came from Central Lake a little
blue-eyed damsel named Marian. She
was exceedingly fair and comely and it
came to pass that Paul was greatly
pleased in her, but Notwithstanding his
oratorical powers she was never heard
to say Yes.
Is. Of all the wise patient teachers,
Mr.. Speltz, instructor in the way of
sciences, was probably the most long,
suffering and slow to anger. But alas,
after examinations he too, would ap-
pear in sackcloth and ashes bemoaning
the loss of precious pearls cast.
8. Notwithstanding the good example
afforded by the Seniors, the under
classmen were sometimes found to err,
and one day, great commotion was
brought about and it was found that
one Of their members had with evil in
tent, slain and cast the foul carcass Of

SCHOOL PLAYS AND
ENTERTAINMENTS

The gymnasium which is easily trans
formed into stage for the auditorium
makes an ideal place for giving school
plays and entertainments. The fact
that the stage is adjustable and that
there is an abundance of room behind
the curtains makes it possible to give
school entertainments in which many
children may participate.
The Christmas entertainment given
this year by the grade children was
pronounced by everyone as being the
finest yet seen in the East Jordan
School. Later on an entertainment
consisting of a one-act play called
"Neighbors" and cantata, "The Hap

mouse before fair maiden, whereat,
she was filled with great fear.
10. And it came to pass that as the
end of the fourth year drew near, the
Seniors commanded that all men go
and bring in fish, and great feast
was prepared, and many were hidden
to come and partake thereof.
II. When they were all assembled,
the chief master arose, and saw that il
was good, and spake unto them saying,
"Verily, say unto you, this is great
thing. And it behooves me that we do
likewise in the years to come hereafter.
II. When at last the Seniors were
ready to leave this place of learning,
their Exodus was celebrated with
great festivities and rejoicing.

HIGH SCHOOL AS
A SOCIAL CENTER

When the new high school was plan
ned, the idea of having a building
which the public may make great use
of was always in mind. The auditorium
is not directly connected with the class
rooms, thus any public or social gather
ing may be held there even during
school hours. The gymnasium may be
shut off from the auditorium and still
leave sufficient room for stage.
The Household Arts department is
lust across from the gymnasium and
provisions are made there for serving
a banquet to a large number at one
time. Thus it is possible to make use
of the building for public meeting or
or for banquet In fact, both may be
carried on simultaneously.
Many organizations in East Jordan
have already made use OF the high
school for various purposes. The Ma
sons, X. of P.'s, the farmers Co-opera'
tive Association, the Catholic Church,
the Improvement Club, the Study Club
and the farmers under the direction oil
County Agent Wing have already made
use of the building on one or more &C.
casions. There have been banquets,
plays, business meetings, institutes,
and welfare gatherings. Many OF these
have been held during the day. The
auditorium fills a long needed require
ment for East Jordan. AS time goes
by it should continue to be used more
and more for social, business and ed
ucational purposes.

ply Family Of Father Time" was given.
Both of these were first class. The
Senior play, assisted by Sadie" was
generally conceded to be one Of the
best given by any Senior class. The
various grades have given one-act
plays in assembly.
In view of the fact that the assembly
was not open until the first of the year
the record of the school in dramatics
and entertainments has been very good.
There are great possibilities for ex-
tending this type of work very much
the coming year.
