M SPORTS HISTORY — class of ’48 Very seldom has one class been so fortunate as to have such a group of athletes as the class of 48. Almost every boy earned at least one letter, if not more, during his high school career. About every four or five years a class turns up with a group that are all athletes in one way or another. The class of 48 was one of those classes. Each excelled in some sport. Cooperation, sportsmanship and teamwork were a part of every member. In years to come the fellows will look back on their athletic careers at Algonac High School as one of the happiest times of their lives. During four years of high school, there were more letters awarded to the athletes of the class of 48 than to any other class in the history of Algonac High School. Members of the class of 48 who were letter winners: Charles Clark Frank Day Harold DeBoyer Charles Gonyaw Robert Hagedon Paul Hemenger Bruce Highstreet Fred Hill Albert Kreig Roy Lauritsen Stan Lupenski Donald Meyers Charles Polito Fred Tremblay Jim Wiseman Harry Wi lde ass We, the Senior Class of Algonac High School, in the year of our graduation, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, being of sound mind and body, and in the presence of reliable witnesses, do leave and bequeath our most prized possessions to our beloved high school, our beloved teacher, and the undergraduates. May we ever be remembered as almost the largest (if not the smartest) class that has ever thundered through the halls of Algonac High High School. It must be known here that we write the following under no pressure (or regret) whatso- ever. 1, Chuck Clark, leave my pitching arm to Jim DeBoyer.

THE ALGONQUIN (Student Weekly Newspaper) Algonac High School has sponsored a paper (although rather spasmodically, we confess) for several years. According to our records, the first issue appeared in the spring of 1929. This pro- ject was an activity of the class of 1931, but the number of issues is debatable. The history of the paper until 1939 is nebulous. There are faint re- collections of a group of school-spirited students (among them Don Clark) producing a bi-weekly edition. Henry Anderson was one of the first editors under the organized set-up. Then through the haze appears the face of Marjorie Van Volkenburgh, whose service as editor, I believe, embraced the year of 1942-43. Following Margie’s term came that of Betty Jane Y ahn and Craig Wilson. That was the year of our never-to-be forgotten print- ed editions. Craig worked at a printing establish- ment in New Baltimore and labored far into the night to produce the printed page. But with the termination of Mr. Wilson’s position at the news- paper office came the end of our “elegance ”, We reverted to the mimeograph. What a headache ! We just had to have a new machine ! Through the kindness of the Board of Education and the efforts of our staff we achieved our ambition. Production became easier.We were a growing concern. The editors for the ensuing years have in- cluded Lee Edwards, Joan Evans, Billie Mae Street, and Carol Messenger. This year Elaine Edwards and Harry Wilde hold this responsible position. We are proud of our efforts and happy to re- port that two of our workers ; Marjorie Van V olk- enburgh and Craig Wilson attained high honor sin college journalism. Margie was editor of the Albion Pleiad and Craig is working at present on the staff of the Michigan Daily at the University of Michigan. All hail, Algonquin! 24 St udent Council Left to right , first row ; Miss J ab 1 ins k i - ad v i sor , Willie Stephen- son-president-elect, Her ry W i 1 1 i ams - p r es i den t , Oelphine Rzepps - t rea surer .

The Student Council is the representative group of the student body from the eighth through the twelfth grades for student government purposes. Under the new constitution which was written and passed this year, the council is now composed of sixteen member s, a larger group than we have ever had before in our school council. This year this group planned the all-high dances, made purchases for the betterment of the school such as the balco- ny curtain in the gym. All pep meetings and sponsorship of games were assigned toclasses by the council. The monitor system was planned and organized and is an important group working for the good of the student body and school. 25 Bit onor V if If BIT 1! Vi WB I 1 Left to right , first row: B.

Membership is based upon four qualities: scholarship, character, leadership, and service. Since its inception, the organ- ization has taken in a total of eighty members, and the active group this year consists of twenty members. The officers for the first semester were president, Marlene Rzeppa; vice-president, Ellen Martin; recording secretary, Mary Ann Smith; corresponding sec- retary, Gerry Williams; treasurer, Lois Colling. The two main events looked forward to each year are the in- duction ceremony in the fall when new members are tapped, and the banquet in the spring which serves as a reunion for all members. The group has participated in many projects, but the main one is the sponsoring of a loan fund, which now contains over $300. This fund is to aid deserving students who need help to pursue higher education. 26 y- Se eens JR. and SR. Y -TEENS Left to right , first row: L. Day, N. Murphy, E. Kerr, R. Krebs, E. Smith, J.

The Algonac Hi-Y Club was organized in 1946 under the sponsor ship of the local Rotary and Lions Clubs, Prior to the opening of school that fall, the two clubs sent Robert Lee andWilford Stephenson to Hayo- Went-Ha, Hi-Y train- ing camp on beautiful Torch Lake in Northern Michigan. With the help which these two boys received at the camp, the Hi-Y Club, consisting of nine members, was officially initiated. Mr. Johnson was appointed faculty advisor. Now in its second year, the club has grown to a mem- bership of 20. The boys worked hard to raise money for the new backstop on the Athletic Field. This year Mr. Greenstein became co-advisor.

Sea Scouts Championship rJooth all cfeam The football season of 1947 will long be remembered by Algonac High as the year Algonac won the County Championship. Statistically, Algonac had the best high school team in the State. Algonac played eight games, and was undefeated in all but one game. The coaching and teamwork were something to be seen by all. Our hats are off to you fellows for a job well done. All the players were honored atthe annual Football Bust and the letter winners were presented with small gold footballs .

Basketball Algonac High got off to a slow start, but picked up power as the season grew. Some of the best games in the county were played on the Muskrats home court. Coach Greenstein develops his players during the season, with a watchful eye on the Tour- naments. The games were more enjoyable this year because of the new electrical scoreboard which was given by the 1947 graduating class. 1948 BASKETBALL SCORES Algonac 29 St. Stephens 35 Algonac 37 Port Huron “B " 36 Algonac 27 Marysville 41 Algonac 38 Richmond 36 Algonac 27 Holy Cross 25 Algonac 39 St. Clair 34 Algonac 39 New Baltimore 17 Algonac 48 Marine City 34 Algonac 23 St. Stephens 22 Algonac 28 Marysville 53 Algonac 31 Richmond 36 Algonac 30 Holy Cross 27 Algonac 57 St. Clair 36 Algonac 48 New Baltimore 19 Algonac 49 Memphis 37 Algonac 36 Marine City 40 Dick Rex, Sophomore, receiving the coveted Lions Sportsmanship Award pre- sented by Harold Pockling- ton of Algonac, who is re- presenting the District Lions Club.
