"NOBLESSE OBLIGE"-:-t+t -7-

Perhaps to-day, when so many ar e forgetting the meaning of position and responsibility, there is no more pertinent and timely subject fo r consideraton than the one suggested by the title. Talents, education, culture, wealth,power, position and opportunities ar e ours to use, no t t.omisuse. In its broadest sense "noblesse oblige" meansresponsibility an d service because of opportunities and advantages more than those of many, and only the fullestdischarge of the one and the fullest complement of theother spell true success. So many miss the meaning of"noblesse oblige" because to them life signifies only whatth ey can get ou t of it, no t what they can pu t into it.

Charles Kingsley says: "Exceeding gifts from God ar eno t blessings. they ar e duties. Th ey do no t always increasehap piness; they always increase responsibilities." Ourplace in life brings with it certain responsibilities. Theyar e no t always pl easant, th ey are no t always easy. Wewould no t always choose them, bu t there they are, and wemust either ass um e them or shirk them. The larger ourplace. the greater ou r responsibility. "To whomsoever muchhath been given, of hi m shall much be required." In anaddress to the American people on washington's birthday, Presiden t Coolidge said, "I f we are to maintain theinstitutions which he (Washington) founded: if we ar e toimprove what he created, we must continue to accept responsibilities, we must continue to make sacrifices. Underall the laws of God and ma n there is no other way."Just as su rely as there ar e responsibilities fo r us, so

su rely do we have an influence to exert. "For none liveth tohh m elf and none dieth to himself." Realizing this an d apprecia ting th e fact of "noblesse oblige," we will see that ou rinfluence is constructive and no t destructive. Our safeguard, then, is to keep ou r ideals on the highest plane ,Em erson says "Hitch your wagon to a star." Ideals makethe man. Many measure success in terms of acquisition ofdollars and cents, an d no t in terms of service to others.Th e small soul revolves around itself, the large soul includes fellowmen in its program.What is success? I t is achievement. How do wemeasure it? By the benefits that it confers. Wealth isno t necessarily the measure of it. Fo r a man may be suc

cessful an d never rich. Or he ma y be rich and fail ofsuccess. True success is m easured not by dollars bu t byservice; and health, character, education, and industry arethe foundation stones upon which it rises." And "He has


achieved success who has lived well, laug?ed ~ f t e n , andloved much; who has gained the respect of m t ~ l h g ~ n t me nand the love of little children; who ha s filled Ius mche andaccomplished his task; who. has left .the world better than, , , ~ h e n he found it , whether It be an unproved copy, perfect poem, or a rescued soul; wh o _has never l a c k e ~ m appreciation of earth:s beauty failed to e x p ~ e s s It; wh ohas always looked fo r the best m others and giVen the besthe had; whose life wa s an inspiration, whose memory abenediction."

Therefore the truest interpretation of life is serviceto others in whatsoever way we render it. benefactors of mankind have been, Without exceptwn,who thus interpreted " n o b l e s s o b l i g ~ . " On one occaswn.at Christlma s time, General Booth wished to send a me ssaae of the fulles t significance to his workers al l over thew ~ r l d . Cablegrams are expensive, so lY' ha d flashed toevery corner of the earth the one word "Others.""Who knows what I wa s meant to be,Not I!No glorious fate ma y beckon to me,But I'm to try,Whether the hope be great or small,Though these ma y be no prize at al l.Only the best I have to give .Will pay for the wonderful chance to hve.Only the best I find to takeWill ar m my courage fo r life's sake.

"On!" is the cry.Who know what waits beyond the hill?

No t I!I have to climb and never stand still,Whatever the sky.Some spent pilgrim may need my arm,Perhaps I ca n save a soul from harm,Or build a city or right a wrong,Or cheer the world with a merry song."On!" is the cry.

OVER THE ALPS LIES ITALY+t+t--o-

To the old Frankish people, even to the brave hardvwarriors who lived then, the Alps presented an almosti n ~ u r m o u n t a b l e barrier to th e fruitful land of sunny Italylymg beyond. Year by year thei r people increased andsoon th rea tened to over-populate the country. All thi.'>time me n were searching, ever searching as Columbusseached, fo r a pass Whi ch would lead them' to the land ofplenty. One day, after yea rs of patient search, af te r failures which would dishearten most me n of today, this joyous news traveled through the country "Italy is ours; weha ve found a way."

Ou r Italy is called "Success;" the Alps which most ofus must traverse to reach this land are the obstacles andtemptations of[ the business world. Will we be able, as wejourney over ou r Alps to avoid each rock and boulder thatbesets ou r path, to say with those people of old, "Italy isours , we have found a way."All of us have as pirations; we would no t be humanwithout them. We build ai r castles and ar e happier fo r thebuilding. In this land and time of miracles the ai r castlPsof a bo y ma y become the realities of m a ~ h o o d , even asMarconi's boyhood vision is realized in the wireless oftoday. "Almost any occupation may be capitalized andmade to pay well, so in choosing. ou r life work, we shouldreflect well before committing ourselves. Th e occupationthat you like best in childhood and youth is the one inwhich you are most likely to succeed." Even at ten yearsof age C ~ l e r i d g e _was deeply interes ted in philosophy; today he IS considered England's greatest philosopher.Wordsworth was from infancy interested in nature an dsimple life ; he is the greatest nature poet the world ha:lever known. An old saying, more prevalent in the old countries thanin Amer ica, is that "Dame Fortune knocks bu t once at anvman's door." This, like many popular proverbs, c o n t a i n

element of truth. Dame Fortune is a very capriciouslittle person and if her first faint knockings ar e no t heededor heard, she sometimes refuses to return. Because manis a very stupid crea tu re, he does no t readily learn the ~ ~ - tof foresight, and since he cannot see her , he thinks she isno! present . Oppo_rtunity comes in so ma ny differentgmses that of ten she Is no t r ecogniz ed, and, like a child th athas been scolded, when once repelled she is reluctant to return. A well-edu cated, intellectu al, alert an d watchfulma n or woman, accomplish much for opportunity isever ready to ass1st thern, She needs such people in her


wo rk , and she is glad to give them powers which they willuse to advantage rather than bes tow this gift on some onewho is shiftless, lazy, and inclined to think that the worldowes hi m a living. The world owes no ma n a living; everyone gets ou t of li fe just what they pu t in and not a bi tmo re.

Francis Bacon, England's great scientist, writer anddiplomat, says: " It cannot be denied that outward accidentscon duce much to fortune: favor, opportunity, death orothers, occasion-fitting virtue. But chiefly the mould of a1nan's fortune is in his own hands. The most frequent ofex ternal causes is that the folly of one ma n is the success ofan other; fo r no man prospers so suddenly as by other's errors." He says, "The way of success is lik e th e milken wayin the sky, which is a meeting, or knot, of a number ofsmall stars no t seen asun der, bu t giving light together. Soare there a number of little and scarce discer ned virtues orrather faculties an d customs, that make me n fortunate."Later he states "Fortune is to be honered an d respected,and it be bu t fo r her daughters, Confidence an d Reputation.Fo r those two felicity br eedeth; The first within a man'sself, the latter in others towards him."The dividing line between success an d failure is so fineas to be often indiscernib le. A man n1.ay be standing onthe very brink of success, where a single step would casthim into the river of Fortune, and, af ter viewing his prospects, will turn away discouraged and disheartened, BECAUSE HE CANNOT SE E TH E INVISIBLE FORTUNE.Success does no t come to us without effort or toil, bu tas Spencer puts it:"After long stormes an d tempes ts over blownThe sun at length his joyous face doth cleare;So when as fortune al l he r spight ha th showne,Some blissful hours at last must needes appeare."MAMIE \VHEATON, Saluta torian, 1924

"A GENUINE SHIP''Five long years ago when we, the high and mightySeniors, were only eighth graders we were instructed tobuild a ship, a ship termed "The Ship of Education." Thefirst work toward this aim was electing Frances W oodrutfas the captain fo r the first fifth of ou r voyage an d Mr. Hum

phrey as ou r pilot. Although we were among the greenest ofthe green we somehow steered through ou r first channel.In 1921, with Gordon Wilcox issuing orders and MissDuddles guiding us, we first realized the greatness of ou rtask. 1 The most memorable function of that year was theFreshman-Sophomore reception where we were firstrecognized as true members of Harbor High. Soon afterwards the compliment was returned by means of an informal party fo r the "Class of '23." Thus ou r ship wasslowly bu t truly taking its proper form.Our Sophomore year started with the appointment ofEarl DeLaVergne as the captain of ou r ship and Mr. F. L.Bailey as ou r guide. Here we struck some of ou r first

hard problems. I t was necessary to raise funds fo r theFreshman-Sophomore party and by means of the show,"Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde," we raised more than enough.In January we took it upon ourselves to officially bring inlo the high school the Freshmen, and from al l reports, theyar e still here.but as the years roll by the work becomes, no t onlynaru r, bu t also more enjoyable. Karolyn Powers was_..oscn ou r leacLr for the Junior year and Mr. F. L. Bailey,, 6 ain asked to o.::cupy his old position as pilot, and helpReep the ship off the rocks fo r another year .

On a sunny morning in September 1921, the class of'25 joined the forces of H. H. S. After the general confusion and amusing mistakes of the first few days, theircha otic impressions of classes and rooms and lessons gradually resolved itself into the orderly routine of everydayclasswork. From their general location in the front of theassembly they looked with awe at the cold self-satisfiedSeniors at the rear, and thought longingly of the days whenthey, too, would si t there. The first class meeting heldwas en thusiastic, to say the least, an d from its tumult theclass em erged with Grace Erwin as its president. In declamation Lavina Caskey brought prestige to the class by win-,ning second place in the State contest. Later in the year theclass came ou t as a group at the many lively and enjoyablebeach pa rties.

The next year they came back as Sophomores infinitelysup erior to the Freshies below them, and feeling that studying, wi th their fund of knowledge, was superfluous. Pleasant as this theory was, the teachers strove valiantly to dislod ge it. The class m ee tings this year took on at least nsemb lance of order and in the first one Leon W oodrul1was chosen as president. Now the class began to come ou tfor school events. I t wa s represented by four membersin basketball an d one on the high school debating team.Again we won honor in declamation with Leona Lawrasonas winner of second place iJ?- ou r local contest.This year the Juniors r eturned fully prepared to engage in friendly rivalry with the Seniors. The class wa sorganized at the beginning of the term with Willard Cornell as its president. Their chief concern immediately hecame the raising of the necessary funds to carry on the workof the Junior class. They sold candy and popcorn at several of the basketball games; bu t the ne t receipts weresmall, so the class began to seek more satisfactory ways ofsecuring funds. In March they gave a successful fish supper. Th e co-operation of the high school an d town peoplemade this enterprise a success. The profits from theseevents including that from numerous baked-good salesfurn ished the funds fo r the annual Junior-Senior banquet.The class came out well fo r school activities this )Car.Our same four loyal members were on the basketball team,and in the tournament, were recognized and chosen as

GOSSIP OVERHEARD ABOUT THE JUNIORSENIOR BANQUET-+-:t:+:t: -+-

In the quaint old site of Harbor Springs, down at thePost Office corner, first one, then two and soon a multi-1ude ha d gathered. As usual when there is a group thereis a chat and when there is a chat, much good is revealedin the form of gossip ."Have you heard the latest?""What is it?""The Junior Senior Banquet.""I have ha d a sort of an idea due to the talking andexchange of ideas passed as to frocks to be worn by thegirls .""Well, I heard of it. Let me tell you al l about it.""Yes- Yes- Go on !""The upper classmen began to string along at first,(probably caused by a late April shower).""How about it ? \Vhen did this thing take place,""Friday evening, May 9th, 1924.""Now continuing with the procedure of the "Banquet"we have , the reception committee passing out numberswhich when matched paired off the attendants fo r theGra nd March. The march proceeded from the Teachers'Rest Room to the Balcony in the g y m ~ Lead by CharlesBeckon and Eleanor Wells, the merr y group passed downthe stairs at the end of the gym. Over across the floor tothe letter "J.""What was the letter "J " symbol of ?""Probably in order to give you a clear picture of the

general scheme worked out it would be proper for me to describe the a ppearance of the hall where this important eventtook place. Behold! The gym was beautifully decoratedin a flowing wave of green crepe paper streamers in theform of a canopy. To add to this scene, many different~ o l o r e d balloons suspended from the canopy gave the frolIcsome lads and lasses a feeling of being entertained in thefinest Cabaret of Louis XIV Court yard. The tables wereplaced in the form of a "J " to work into the unique plans ofti: e decorating committee. The favors were placed, somepm_k, some red, the table tops strewn with ferns and the finIshmg touches being tha t of a little artisic placard and a fewba ske ts of roses and sweet peas. Th e music played by Maesers' orchestra coming to a . stop, brought to an end theGrand March."

toasts there was furnished much amusement when the students taking a hold of a little pape r projecting and pulling, instant ly, and much to their surprise, shocked them. A report, it must ha ve' been a pistol, some fear prevailed bu twhen each favor ac ted in the same spontaneous fashion thegirls as well as many boys ga ined courage enough to admittha t it was bu t the report of a small cap and not an explosive.

A sumptuous four-course dinner wa s served by wa itersin white attire. Th e many pink candles furnished a m ellowlighf during the hour of dinner. Between courses we ha dthe following numbers. A vocal solo by Mrs. Newman followed by a cornet solo by Chester Martindale. The dinnercontinued, the third course was being served when- did Ihear some one say Beethoven- let m e see- no, bu t so nearin musical ability there was no mistake in hearing such, fmduring the next few In,inutes Mrs. Rosenthal sent forth such'notes as anyone's ears would readily greet. A decidedchange took place in the nature of the program when NatalieGould and Elsie Crowl carried ou r minds back to the timesof Washington. A little old fashioned dance being rendered in a very pleasing manner.

Tow:ard the latter part of the evening we ha d theToastmistress Miss Ollie Backus, introducing to thosepresent an orator of rare ability, The President of the Classof '25, Willard Cornell, in a verY' able manner greeted andwelcomed the Seniors at this occasion. Charles Beckon.the president of the Senior class gave the response. By thistime ou r toastmistress ha d shown he r broad scope of humo r as well as wit. The toasts following were placed before the schoolmates and friends by considering eachspeake r an officer on the vessel, "Harbor High ." At thistime Clare Ozanne, a most competent speaker took theplatform describing for us "The Voyage." Seeing it onlyfitting and proper, Miss Bryce "The Lookout" quickly responded, showing us the Lookout's view of the vessels sailing out at sea. Following this, a toast was given by Mr.Bailey, "The Pilot," who has guided this vessel to success.

Also on this occasion, the Senior class took opportunity to begin a tradition which they hope will remain dear tothe High School in the years to come. A canoe paddle isthe symbol of this tradition. Frances Woodruff as a representative of the c l a s ~ of '24 explained to us the merits ofthis tradition, he rewith presenting it to Erwin Johnson, asa representative of the Junior class. Th e Red and Whitecolors of the Senior class were moved to the top an d theBlue and White, symbolic of the Junior Class, were tied on

Thus it remains for the Juniorsto car ry out th is tradition and the r i o ~ 1 ~ activities in whichtheir schoolmates have so nobly participated, thatClass of '24 need never regret that the constructiOn of theirvessel took place in the Harbor Springs High School. Oh!Class of '24, we bid you greetings.The final toast on ou r progrmn was tha t rendered byRev. Blewfield of Petoskey. As he responded to the toast"Mariner's Compass," he summarized fo r us the m.anythings which were in ou r career and at every word gmdedus towards successful goals fo r the future.Last bu t not least, ca me dancing. The music furnished by orchestra and the a ttendants furnishinglife's fantastic toes quickly changed the splendor of the"B anquet" to a grandeur of a magnificent "Ball Room."Thus at a late hour we have ou r sincere schoolmatesdeparting for home after spending one of the most pleasing

evenings of the season.Fo r the success of this Banquet we ar e indebted to tht;following people: Miss W ells ou r pa troness, the faculty,the mothers of the Juniors, the Freshmen and Sophomoregirls and ou r classmates."Say do you realize it is getting rather late ?""Yes, I think I'd better run along."And thus the gossip ca m e to an abrupt close. with theme mo ry of this event re maining fo reve r with those wholistened to the gossip.

Soon after ou r organization westarted planning fo r the Sophomore-Freshman class partyat which we were to initiate the Freshies. The fact thatthe Freshman class is much larger than ours made it verydifficult to find a suitable way to do this. We attemptedto pain t their noses a bright g r ~ e n , t ~ i n k i n g that an appropriate color. We succeeded m domg this to some, bu tothers rebelled and refused to be initiated in this way. Notlong after that eventful evening, the Freshies showed us ajolly good time at a party. Lots of eats n'everything! Another party later on was enjoyed by both classes. Takingeverything into consideration, the Sophomore year of theclass of '26 is one that will not soon be forgotten.

The sun rose warm and pleasant. I t seemed to be anideal day to visit the old trapper on (Stanton) Creek. We entered our boat and rowed (Roe) (d) down the stream. Wedrifted past the old coal (Cole) hill and the crag (Craig) oft'which Gregory Harrison is supposed to have leaped to safety whe n pursued by a band of Indians.At last the old cabin with its old wood roof (Woodruff) hove in sight, and good old Will Cox (Wilcox) cameou t to meet us."By the (Powers) of Mars, bu t is good to see you," heexclaimed. He was a real blood and 'flesh-ma n (Fleshman) , and a (Friend) to all. Over the (Hill) back of thecabin came the trapper's dog, (Mitchell). We went up thelon g (Lane) to the cabin through the window of which wecould see Lee (Seeley), the Indian who lived with Mr. Cox.As we entered the door, he strode forward with handextended and gr unted, "How."V!'e returned the salute and sat. down on his (Wright)for dmner. .

Mr. Bailey's absence has been keenlyfelt as he was th e founder of th e lo cal club an d had donemuch to give it it s success through its first two years.Upon canvassing the new faculty m em bers i t wasfound that Mr. H .

be r of cheer cards, containing the school songs, footballschedule and yells, printed and distributed among the highschool students free. By these means, the club endeavored to arouse th e school spirit and was glad to see that inmany instances the folders were us ed.As several m em bers of the club had graduated it wasfound necessary to add some new members an d c t v ~ v ~ - - ingly James Rogers, Robert Whaley, an d Leroy Swere taken in ou r organization .During the winter a Hi-Y supper was held in them estic science rooms, and although the boys preparedmeal themselves they seemed to enjoy themselves asthe edibles soon disappeared.At the last of Dece mber the State Older Boys' Confence was held at Ann Arbor to which the club sentdelegates. Several other mer'nbers were sent by otherganizations. At this conference of boys fromthe state, many noted speakers were heard and the .ability of following th e 4 C's was demonstrated. While
