SEPTEMBER 15, 1952 .... 11 Days of Yore By MADISON KUHN and JOSEPH G. DUNCAN

(Beginning, upper left corner and going down the page).

The rifle team of 1891 assumed an informal pose for this picture. We trust that none of the rifles were loaded. The uniforms, coats and caps (except for the derby) are similar to those worn by Union soldiers in the Civil War.

Fifty years ago, on Nov. 1, the varsity football team lost to Olivet, 11 to 6. The bright spot in the day, however, was the victory of the reserves (shown here) over the Flint School for the Deaf by one touchdown, 5 to 0. The man in the middle of the back row is identified on the reverse of the picture as Coach Parrott, but in the article in the M.A.C. RECORD, on the game, he is listed as referee and umpire. Versatile man!

All-American John Pingel does his part (and so does the cow) in helping to make the 1938 team fast and hard-hitting.

Registration was in Jenison Gymnasium when N. Hashu was "framed" (about 1945), but otherwise little has changed in the procedure since then.
