1914 Traverse City High School Miscellaneous

Every high school has its colors,
of brown, red, white or blue,
And every high school student
To these colors should be true;
So, we'll try to do our duty
To the colors ne'er grown old,
And fight for good old Traverse
And the dear old Black and Gold.

So we'll strive in all our studies
To prove to all the world,
That the Black and Gold of Traverse
Is the best flag yet unfurled;
On the gridiron, track and diamond
She leads the brave and bold,
So let us shout for gladness
and the dear old Black and Gold.

When we leave the dear old High School,
And face the world alone,
We'll think of days we've spent here
As the best we've ever known;
And we hope in years to follow,
That the story will be told
How the flag that won the vict'ry
Was the dear old Black and Gold.

3. The Great Wall in China (as it was it 1914)

Few people realize what an almost perfect condition prevails along a large part of the great wall of China. The bricks of the parapet are
as firm as ever, and their edges have stood the severe climatic conditions of North China with scarcely a break. The paving along the top of the wall is so smooth that one may ride over it with a bicycle, and the great granite blocks with which it is faced are smooth and as closely fitted as when put in place over two thousand years ago. The entire length of this wall is 1,400 miles, it is twenty-two feet high and twenty feet in thickness. At intervals of one hundred yards or so there are towers some forty feet in height. It appears trivia was used where there not a cell filled with advertising. (The students put this among the advertising so I thought they must have thought it a great thing)

4. Sleigh Rides written by Margaret Holliday

Sophomores

The usual number of sleigh rides which are always anticipated with pleasure by each class, were given this year. The Sophomores were first to enjoy the exhilarating past-time. February 20, at 4:30 two sleigh loads left the school building ad proceed to Archie (Acme 2005), where a bounteous pot-luck supper and was enjoyed and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and a various games.

Freshmans

February 27 the Freshman followed the example of the Sophomore and enjoyed their sleigh-ride to Archie. After the supper, which had been prepared by the girls, dancing and games were enjoyed and after a very enjoyable evening the little ones returned to the city at a very reasonable hour.

Juniors

Mar 6 two sleigh loads of Juniors proceeded to the popular Archie Hall, where the evening was spent as on the two previous sleigh-rides.

Seniors

March 7. A very hearty invitation was extended to the Senior class from Verna Heimforth to her home in Carp Lake, and Mar 7 was the date set for the enjoyable event. At 2:30 two large sleigh loads started for the Heimforth home which is nine N. W. of the city. All the merriment which characterizes sleigh-rides accompanied the Seniors. The afternoon was most enjoyably spent in games and music. At 6 o'clock a big oyster supper was served to which every one did justice. The evening was spent in a sociable way. We all agreed that Verna was a capable hostess and the Seniors will always keep this memorable sleigh-ride fresh in mind.
