School's out! Teacher let the fools out! Susie and Buzz are dashing madly to classes with caps and gowns flapping out behind. The class of forty-one!-a noisy, laughing group of kids who doubtless have caused the faculty many headaches. Suddenly we stop and find that under our bucolic sophistication, there's a funny feeling in the pits of our stomachs and lumps in our throats. But this is no time for tearful memories, for, as you know, the class of forty-one always leaves them laughing! wk Dk Ik Ik ik We, the Happy Savages fotherwise known as The Senior Class of East Grand Rapids High Schoolj, 'liv- ing in a state of perfection, both mentally and physi- cally, and feeling a spasmodic twinge of generosity, do make, publish and declare this our last will and testament.

HISTORY or THE EAST END KIDS Buzz and Susie had a date for the movies, and the only good picture in town appeared to be the East End Kids in The Class of '41. When they arrived at the darkened theater, the feature picture was just beginning. Across the screen fiashed the interior of the Barnard Building and the shadowy figures of twenty-three little boys and girls, dressed in the starched pinafores and lacy collars of Pre-Depression 1928. There was little Dorothy Ballard who had that you-know-what even then, and four small boys in short pants dancing attendance. Funny, but they looked suspiciously like jack Dutmer, Homer Preston, Christopher Southwick, and Gaius Perkins. Mary jean Bechtold and Donna Van Oosten were squatted on the fioor with Aura Bae Cooper and Judy Louks, fitting bolts and nuts onto the playhouse, while Fred Currier and Clark Wierhake, those confirmed woman-haters, glowered over them. Nancy Seidman and Clarence Webb were standing in the corner, en- gaged in a tug-of-war with each other's hair, with jerry Mulder trying unsuccessfully to pacify them. Barbara Drew, the human dynamo, was busily straight- ening pictures on the wall, as john Higbee and Bob Anible watched, fascinated, over her shoulder. In the corner sat two prim, quiet youngsters, Eileen Kollen- berg and Marian Swarthout, who were known as the model students of the kindergarten class. Loraine Wyngarden, May Egner, and Betty june Thompson were engaged in whispered conversation concerning the scandalous length of that Eleanor Eaton's skirts, while El blissfully unaware of the commotion she was caus- ing, played jacks with john McReynolds and Bob Heuvelhorst. Aren't they funny? laughed Susie. They're so little I could hardly recognize them at first. The scene shifted abruptly to show the first grade room in the Wealthy Street building. All the familiar faces were there, with one addition, a shy, sweet, little blonde, who answered to the name of Mary Ellen Pleune, and who inspired a violent love in the manly bosom of Robert Heuvelhorst. l remember that, chuckled Buzz. It was 'Le Grande Passion' of the first grade class. Then he became silent, for the scene was changing again. Beau Brummel Phil Heyboer, Gloria Hamilton, who fancied herself a female Tarzan, and chubby, charming Vir- ginia Widney, entered the room that second grade year. I can't get used to seeing such little punks, roared Buzz while the camera paused at the door of the third grade room. Dick Barrie, who, even then, was addicted to tootling on tooters, and jane Farrant, a mentally magnihcent moppet, entered the class along with all the other students. That was the year when the future Class of '41 was first initiated into the delights of writing lines for misdemeanors. The scene shifted to the fourth grade room during the Christmas party. All the little boys and girls, in- cluding two well-behaved new arrivals, Harley Muste and Charles Mettam, were sitting in hushed silence as the Christmas play was enacted. The play proved a great success, the only mishap having been jerry Santa Claus Mulder, who, on the morning of production, had-of all things-fallen down and broken his arm! The camera focused next on the fifth grade class- room. Among the new recruits that year were Carolyn Stolz, whose coy smile, even lthen, wowed the male sex, solemn-faced john Moore, who stayed every night after school to polish the apple and to wash boards for teacherg and Kenny Johnson, a shy, shrinking ten- year-old who had conceived a violent dislike for those female creechurs. My, my, observed Susie,-her tongue in her cheek, how times have changed! The sixth grade ushered in a new phase in the history of the East End Kids, who,1 as both Buzz and Susie agreed, were performing wonderfully. In the first place, they had reached the ,High School building at last. In the second place, some of the sixth graders became socially conscious. Misses Carolyn Stolz, Nancy Seidman, Virginia Widney, and Messieurs Christopher Southwick, Charles Mettam, Gaius Perkins, and Clar- ence Webb joined Miss Travlis' Wednesday afternoon dancing class for cultured little boys and girls. Buzz whooped with laughter at the rare sight of the three young ladies and the four young gentlemen stumbling valiantly over each other's toes. New joiners to the merryxflock in the sixth grade were a quiet miss, Eleanor De Young, an industrious lad, one Steve Wurzburg, and Betty Verhey, who con- fided that her main ambition was to travel. To Colorado, maybe? murmured Susie, and Buzz exploded in another fit of glee. The scene changed again, this time to the hall in front of the Senior room. There, gazing in passionate adora- tion at one Theodore Burba, were huddled three- fourths of the seventh grade girls. Their general philosophy at this stage might have been summed up thus: Clark Gable! Humphl What's he got? Tyrone Power! Poof! A mere punk. Theodore Burba! Ah, there's a man! However, one severe lecture put them in their places, and Ted Burba went the way of all for- gotten idols. Among new entirants were Patricia Clark who arrived just in time to this Burba Battallion for Lovebitten Brats, and Fred joseffy, an earnest, up- standing young man in half-pants. In the eighth grade there was a great influx of males, much to the satisfaction of some young ladies. Appear- ing on the scene was Richardl Gauthier, a modest, un- assuming youngster, plus three future football heroes, Murray Dewar, Bill Travis, and Dick Howald. That year four of the girls QI won't embarrass them by call- ing them by namej who had been acting very silly, got their just desserts. While taking a siesta on the lawns during school hours, they werje espied by Miss Water- man, who gently but firmly returned their wandering feet to the straight and narrow path. fThough the plot of this movie does not profess to contain a moral, let that experience be a lesson to all you erring underclass- men -- crime does not pay., I The shot of the ninth grade room showed many new faces. Six blushing beauties,l Jacqueline Deeb, Barb Wickman, Betty Apollonio, lLois Newman, Beverly Hawkins, and Doris Dingeman joined the cast, while the male contingent consisted. of Bob De Young, jim Johnson, and Harland Smith. 'The camera dwelt briefly on the Latin Play, in which most of the East Enders participated. The main attraction proved to be Clarence Webb, cavorting around the stage in a knee-length tunic. Poor Clarence! Born two thousands years too late! The tenth grade passed without mishap, an occur- rence unusual in the history of the Class of '41, Several of the boys made the football team, and several of the girls developed severe crushes on them. Two splendid workers joined the list of characters in our movie that year, conscientious Jeanne Brackett and always-merry Lloyd Berry. The reels on the eleventh grade were notable chiefly for an excerpt from the junior Play, june Mad. Buzz and Susie nearly rolled in the aisles in appreciation of Patty Clark's beauty mask and Betty Apollonio's unduly long underskirt. Then the camera turned to the junior-Senior Reception. Susie could almost feel the heat of that night although she sat now in an air-cooled movie house. Despite the warmth, however, it had been a grand success. Three newcomers, added to the cast of the East End Kids, were shown walking across the screen. They were Barb Williams with guess who? and the Bignall twins, Rex andQGerry. The coming of the Senior year marked the climax in the plot of the class history. New arrivals who had come just in time for the finale and curtain bow were Vilas Allen, Milton Krieg, Jack Philbrick, Harold Wag and George Barr. And what a finale it was! T were Hashes of the class' two rummage sales, ' Gerry Bignall running hither and thither, a lampsl on her head, there was a shot of the class hayride, ' all the Seniors singing songs, eating wienies, and g ing hot chocolate, there was a brief glimpse of Christmas party, showing the prize-winning Chrisi tree surrounded by the triumphant East End Kids. 'l came the scenes from the Senior Class play, ' Youngest. jim Johnson and Jinny Widney, too vincing for comfort as the sweethearts, were on l to thrill an audience again, while the rest of the went through their paces with a spirit that did t credit. And then at last commencement night. It was n that the gaiety that had sustained the Class of through thirteen years at their beloved East High lacking that night. There w.as no joy in those sixty- solemn young faces p.assing slowly down the corridi their caps and gowns. For a long time the cal dwelt on their fading figures. Then, with a bur: music, The End flashed over the screen. And so the Class of '41 passed into history, im talized forever, if not on film, at least in the hear the boys and girls who had comprised it. PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF 1941 The machine, which was labeled Visit 1951 for Sl was a huge thing, covered with all sorts of levers and buttons. Susie was frankly confused, but Buzz pro- fessed a great knowledge as to the functions of a time machine. You sit there, Susie, and put on those earphones. l'll go over here and start the motor. Buzz, I'm scared, wailed Susie. Don't expect any sympathy from me-this was your idea! said Buzz, as he threw the switch. Sud- denly, everything was dark, and a rushing noise filled their ears. Buzz and Susie blinked amazedly around them. They were standing on a strange street corner, virtually deserted except for a small magazine stand. Uncertainly the two made their way toward the stand. Golly, where do you suppose we are? asked Susie in a worried voice. Search me, mumbled Buzz. Let's investigate. As they reached the stand, Susie gave a gasp of astonishment. Look, Buzz, here's a book in the twenty-five-cent edition by Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth John- son FD0me.rfir Prolzlemf and How I0 Solve Them. I wonder if that's the same Kenny johnson we used to know? Look inside and find out, suggested Buzz, his eye roving over the other publications. Why, here's a magazine called, Time Today. Looks something like the one we used to study in Civics. Why of all the- look, Susie, it's edited by Stanton E. Ellett. Listen to this! 'Time Today, an improvement over the Time of yesterday, is now under a new management, headed by Stanton E. Ellett, who has recently resigned from his position as Principal of East Grand Rapids High School. QSee Peoplej' Golly, this if like Time, declared Buzz, flip over the pages. Listen to this under People, ' Nancy Seidman, well-known educator, has just t over the reins of government in her new capacit Principal of East Grand Rapids High Schoolf Ar think we used to know her. Susie, however, dec the Domertir Problem! of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth j son, did not hear him. Buzz turned back to National Affairs, by time thoroughly engrossed in Stanton E. Ellett's p cation. There, under Presidential Campaign vi photograph of two familiar faces with the cap john Higbee, Republican Presidential Candi shown with his efficient campaign manager, Fred rier. Mr. Higbee has a 50-50 chance to oust Roost according to jack C. Philbrick of the Philbrick P Higbee always talked about being president, Buzz, but I never thought he'd get this far. Buzz, listen! Mrs. Kenneth johnson is Barb liams! cried Susie excitedly, raising her head fron Dowerzir Problemr to make this startling stater It says herelf' But Buzz had reached the Foreign News and already deeply involved in the hair-raising adven of Barbara Ray Drew, world-renowned big-3 hunter, and her famed photographer, Robert He horst. Miss Drew and Mr. Heuvelhorst, so the ri stated, were chased halfway across Africa by a rz rhinoceros, after they had accidentally stepped 0 tail. Another article described the unusual diploi success achieved by Clark Wierhake and Fred jo United States naval and aeronautic experts at Buenos Aires Pan-American Conference, where noted horsebreeder, Senor George W. Barr, brc test sponsored by the Lor down the assembly with his eloquent plea for Argen- tine beef. Gee, all my old cronies in the news, exclaimed Buzz. Why, here's someone else I know. 'Miss Eleanor Eaton, prominent society figure now in Eng- land, was presented at court to receive the Order of the Garter for her well-dressed appearance'. Buzz, wide-eyed by this time, flipped the page to behold a joint portrait of two smiling young ladies. The heading ran thus: Donna Van Oosten and Doris Dingeman, the most up-and-coming young artists of the modern generation, have just won the Award of the American Academy of Art for their surrealist portrait of Dimpled Dorothy Ballard. In the picture Miss Ballard is singing, 'Oh, Dickie, Oh, Dickie', to the accompaniment of that Casanova of the keyboard, Homer Preston. Susie raised her head at this juncture to demand solemnly, Buzz, did you know that you can cure a baby of sucking its thumb by giving it a certain medi- cine? Mrs. Barbara Williams johnson simply swears by the Southwick-Swarthout Solution for Ornery Infants. It says this medicine was developed by Dr. Christopher Southwick and Miss Marian Swarthout, the interna- tionally known baby specialists! You don't say. Honestly, I'd hardly recognize the old class of '41, declared Buzz, as he turned to the material under Business. Why, just listen to this. 'Mr. Harland Smith, one of Wall Street's biggest brokers, is making his annual pilgrimage to the Middle West to speak at the Commencement exercises of his old school. Hearsay has it that he always begins his speeches, Now when I was president of the Student Council at East Buzz chuckled, Good old Har- land, and turned to the next column, which described in glowing terms the financial achievements of the firm of Krieg, Wagner and Travis. Messieurs Milton Krieg, Harold Wagner and Wil- liam Travis, so ran the article, have, in their chain of nation-wide bakeries, a daily turnover of one million dollars. To put it mildly, they're in the dough! I always knew they had it in them, said Buzz admiringly, as another heading caught his eye. Miss Mary Ellen Pleune, of the Pleune Beauty Salon, has astonished the tough tycoons of Wall Street by the phenomenal rise of the sales of her Kisproof Kosmetics. Modest Miss Pleune, however, claims that all her suc- cess is due to the combined efforts of her chief chemists, those titans of the test tube, Gloria Hamilton and Beverly Hawkins. . Susie exclaimed suddenly, Buzz, this book is simply full of medical facts. Listen to this. 'Drs. Lloyd Berry and Rex Bignall, working in collaboration, have found a new formula which promises to be the find of the century-a method for turning red bloods to blue bloods. It is said that all the old families are protest- ing wildly.' Isn't it just wonderful? Soon everyone will be an aristocrat! Uh huh. To think we used to know them! Buzz buried himself in the Cinema and Theatre section where he had discovered an announcement of the premiere of that new movie, The Youngest , starring jim Johnson and jinny Widn tam, Miss LaGush's agent, quo everything to Miss Chase. earthed a notice about a new The Small Profile, directe ducer, Betty Jane Verhey.

Another paragraph was devoted to Phili H boer, the Samuel johnson P el' of the lecture platform, who fourth year as President of has just completed his the Philadelphia Cheese Club. The next column discussed in great detail the Newman-Gauthier celebration pat the beginning of their third year as America's forem st dance team. Lois and Dick are credited with the m st profound observation of the century, Dancing is good for our soles. Buzz turned next to the page on Music where the class of '41 really shone. Aura Bae -Cooper, the rage of New York, was making a con ert tour with her violin, accompanied by Steve Wurzbu g and his Staffy Stooges. They say this team is really s mething to hear. The brilliant pianist, Robert DeYo this week, playing his own Hall with the New York Barrie and Harley Muste orchestra, and incidentally ng, is making his debut mpositions in Carnegie Orchestra. Dick first alto horns in the backbone of the wood- I s 5 wind section. Toscanini says he just couldn't do with- out them! Buzz's attention was next caught by an article under Press, concerning the eastern situation. 'There have been no new developments on the Tibetian-Mongolian front,' reports Time .Todays ace correspondent, jacque- line Deeb, who is stationed there. Mr. Richard Howald, the well-known editor of our Shanghai division, has transmitted this vital news to America. The Radio section came next. In this field also the Class of '41 had made its mark. Patty Clark and Connie Stolz, those two charming belles, have been giving lectures on the highly specialized arts of win- ning a man and winning a sailboat race. Their radio audience is said to be tremendous. Last month N.B.C. initiated .a new program, starring an unknown barber- shop quartet. The response to the four stars has been terrific and the public demands to know about them. The two boys, jack Dutmer and Clarence Webb, are proving their excellent athletic training at the hands of Coach Waterman by the strength of their lungs, while the two girl members, B.arbara Wickman and Gerry Bignall, attribute their success to the sure-fire formula of lots of sleep and three bowls of saurkraut daily. Buzz, thoroughly flabbergasted by this time at the unprecedented success of his classmates, turned to Science. There he beheld the names of five more mem- bers of the Class of '4l. Psychiatrists jim Dewar and jerry Mulder were running a progressive ins.ane asylum in which the inmates keep the doctors and nurses locked up. Drs. Dewar and Mulder explain their humanitarian theory thus: It's easier this way. The brilliant physicists, john McReynolds and john Moore, in collaboration with that distinguished scien- tist, jane Farrant, have published an article in the Mediral journal explaining their latest discovery. For reasons unknown to her co-workers, Miss Farran insisted on calling the story of their great achievei 'How I Finally Got My Revenge, or Biology il Easy Lerfonr' Boy, I sure wish I'd known about that last y said Buzz wistfully, as he turned to the Sports dc ment. Immediately, a headline caught his eye. U States Women's Olympic Team breaks all exi records. Former Michigan girls carry 0E all hon Perusing further, Buzz found to his astonishment the girls had all come from East High. Betty Apoll the Blond Venus, had walked off with al swimming honors, Betty june Thompson becami champion javelin thrower of the world by her nificent and unsurpassed feat of slinging a javelin : miles, jean Brackett .and Mary Jean Bechtold, rapid relay runners, carried off all the firsts in field. The column concluded, The accomplishmer this team have all America talking. Golly, said Susie, what a class old '41 has tn. out to be, in spite of all that our teachers used t about us. I donlt belong with such famous peo Yeah,,' added Buzz. All the time I was a ser never realized what a talented bunch of kids I going around with. Let's go back to 1941, said Susie. Theres not more to do around here. We know just how everyt is going to happenf, Good idea, agreed Buzz, adjusting his earph Pretty soon there was a whirring noise, and Buzz Susie were sitting on the front steps of East C Rapids High School, blinking up at the flagpole trying to decide whether it was all a dream or wh their classmates were really fated to go on to new greater triumphs.

From these seventy boys the football team was to be chosen and each was determined to make the grade. Returning lettermen Travis, Farrant, Webb, johnson, and Smith formed the nucleus which was strengthened by Williams, Moore, Darrah, Dutmer, Dewar, and Big- nall who saw some varsity service last year. Three newcomers were a big addition to the squad. They were Miller, Crothers, and Krieg. Milt Krieg was a big addition both figuratively and literally. Quarter- back Harland Smith and Tackle jack Miller were elected Co-Captains, and with the opening game with Ottawa Hills only two weeks away, we began work in earnest. With hopes high we encountered Ottawa Hills on a summery Saturday afternoon. The student bodies of both schools turned out en masse to witness the annual struggle between the rival elevens. East's greatest threat came when Grant punted to Smith, who brought the ball back to the Ottawa nine- teen yard line. He passed to Travis to the eleven yard marker, where East lost the ball on downs, East threatened again when Smith's pass to Travis was ruled complete because of interference on the Ottawa nine yard line. A moment later Smith's pass was intercepted by Earl Breen in his end zone. He ran the ball out to the twenty-five yard marker, to nip in the bud the second Pioneer threat. Finally just before the end of the first half, Black- burn, Ottawa's h.alfback, plunged through from the ten yard stripe and drew nrst blood. The East line held fast and the try for conversion failed. The half ended with the blue and gold on the short end of a 6 to O score. It was still anybody's ball game. ln the second half the greater reserve strength of the Indians began to tell in the blazing heat, and they soon pushed over another score. Although the tired Pioneers fought back bravely, they gave up two more touchdowns. Final score - Ottawa 27, East 0. Smarting under the defeat by Ottawa, we began pre- paring for Evart. They were out to avenge our victory of last year, and we fell before their powerful machine to the inglorious tune of 25 to O. lt was our first real test in Class C competition, and our inexperience showed up badly. At times we looked as though we were beginning to roll, but our line and backfield failed to work together effectively. Our next game was with Rockford, a team that we had always beaten. We were determined that that record should not be broken. Assisted by good block- ing, Rockford's fast backlield man nearly got away in the first quarter a couple of times. It began to look bad for East. Then East's Captain, Smith, intercepting a forward pass, scampered thirty yards for a touchdown and our first score of the season. Dewar scored the extra point by calmly drop kicking the ball squarely between the uprights. From then on it was the Pioneers all the way. Smith scored two more touchdowns and passed to lanky jack Dutmer for a third, Dewar con- verting once more. Fin.al score, East 26, Rockford 0. Miller, Travis and Farrant each played a whale of a game for the blue and gold. Our next game was a non-conference affair with Wyoming Park. East may have been suffering from an acute attack of overconfidence or something, for the Vikings, led by their quarterback, romped to an easy 19 to 0 victory. Dewar, burly East backheld man, was injured in the game. This left us with only one regu- lar backfield man, Williams and Darrah, speedy half- backs, having been injured in previous games. Our record was one game won and three lost, with Grand- ville our next foe. The game was played on a muddy field, but Grand- ville's homecoming crowd turned out just the same. We had a patched up backlield. Crothers was shifted to Darrah's fullback spot, Smith at quarterback, and Rose and johnson at the halves. With the opening whis- tle, .Crothers found an opening in the Grandville line and scampered across for a touchdown. M.aking the extra point, we were ahead 7 to 0. We kept the lead until near the end of the half, when Dutmer, also on the injured list, was sent in to punt. replacing Gagne who was doing a good job at end. The kick was blocked, recovered by Grandville, .and they scored on the next play. The half ended with the count tied at 7 all. In the second half the Pioneers opened up with a passing and running attack, featuring Smith and Crothers. The ball got inside the Bulldogs' 25 yard line two or three times before their defense tightened. They seemed content to play a defensive game, the ball being in their possession only .about five minutes of the last quarter. Final score 7 to 7. The stars of the game were Austin, aggressive Grandville captain, and Croth- ers of East, on offense. On defense, Miller, johnson, and Travis were outstanding. North Muskegon was our guest the next week-end, and because of the humiliating 47 to 0 defeat we had suffered at their hands last year, we were determined to make things unpleasant for them. We were soon rewarded for our efforts, when Crothers scored from the 30 yard line. The try for conversion failed. In the last stages of the game Moore, alert East guard, fell on .a loose ball behind the Norsemen's goal line for a touchdown, and the score was 12 to O, in favor of the Blue and Gold. That was the way it ended. Webb and Farrant, backed up by Dewar, gave outstanding per- formances for East. East took on Lowell next, and the game was a thriller. It was a muddy day and the footing was uncertain. During the Hrst few minutes of play Smith of East skirted around end and splashed across the goal line for the first score of the game. The try for conversion failed. Lowell was not to be outdone. Led by Captain Yeeter, they came back and scored two touchdowns in quick succession, putting Lowell out in front 12 to 6. So the half ended. East scored twice in the early min- utes of the second half on reverse plays by Crothers. Dewar converted one. Lowell tried hard to retaliate, but the brilliant pass defense of Dewar and Bignall, another returning invalid, stopped them cold. East gained another touchdown on a pass from Smith to Dewar, and Dewar in turn passed to Dutmer for the extra point. A desperate pass by Lowell in the closing minutes gave them another counter. The game ended 26 to 18 in favor of the Pioneers. The next week we had a comparatively easy time beating Godwin, 13 to 7. Darrah of East played whale of a game, while Fox was the star for tl losing team. The final test of the season loomed up next. W were scheduled to play the unbeaten, untied, unscoret upon Lee Street team. East's record in the Grand Va ley competition stood at three victories and one ti A win for us would mean the championship. Le however, had other pl.ans. As the game progressed, developed into a defensive battle between the even matched elevens. Each team threatened to score sever times, but the opposing defense always tightened up The brilliant running of both Crothers and Bignall w. in vain. The whole East line played an outstandir game, and it was certainly no fault of theirs that Ea did not push a score. across. The game ended in scoreless tie, and that put East in second place in tl Grand Valley League. We gained a moral victory 1 putting a small mark on the previously unblemishc record of the strong Lee team. Smith and F.arrant were chosen as quarterback ar end on the first and second All Conference teams, r spectively. The entire East team came close to measu ing up to that envied position. Although we got rather poor start, we feel that East has enjoyed or more successful season. - .sQ.+usa.1,m-w:,,,.,..M. . Y W... .,.. ....... W-A .. W, -f -- , My- - --P M . ....

Returning lettermen were Dutmer, Smith, Bignall, Roon, Crothers, and Darrah. Dewar, Caskey, and Ford added strength to the squad. The first game was with Grand Rapids Christian, and though the Pioneers lost by the inglorious score of 44 to 25, it was a hard fought game throughout. East dropped the next two games to Tech and South. The Tech game was close but the class of competition proved too much for the Pioneers. Our first conference game was played in the Godwin gym. 'l he game was a defensive low-scoring affair on both sides and at the final whistle Godwin was out in front by the score of 12 to 10. Missing free throws proved to be the downfall of the blue and gold. The next week the Wyioining Park Vikings took our meas- ure, and we were charged with another defeat-our fifth in as many starts. At Lee the next week the Pioneers put a smooth working team on the floor and, in spite of the absence of Coach Waitermiin, beat the Rebels 32 to 30. Dutmer sank the winning tally in the final seconds with a shot from mid-court. At Lowell, East dropped another game 25 to 2' Here again a good percentage of free throws would have won the game. Grandville journeyed to East for the next week's game and were soundly beaten by a rejuvenated Pioneer five. The score was East 26, Grandville 12. Crothers made 1-4 points for East. Lee visited the East gym next, determined to get revenge for their defeat earlier in the season. Their sharpshooters proved too much for the blue and gold, and dropped another game 39 to 19. We brought our average still farther down by dropping the next 1 games to Rockford and Grandville respectively. B games were close, and the outcome was not evid until the final whistle. Rockford won 26 to 25 1 Grandville managed to squeeze out a 31 to 27 v Rising from defeat once more the Pioneers came l: and played heads-up ball for the entire game to 5 us a victory over a fighting Lowell team, 57 to Wfith two games left in our regular conference schec we had won three games and lost five. Rockford pro to be too much for us in the first of these games and dropped another one by the close score of 16 to 12. termined to win the last conference game with Godx the same team that had beaten us at the first of the son, the Pioneers started fast and kept ahead of God all the way. The score at half time was 16 to 11 favor of East and at the end the lead had been len, ened to 37 to 16. Witli our last conference game over, we found 1 selves with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in lea play. We beat every team except Rockford at l once. This gave East a tie for fourth place with Lo' in the final Grand Valley standings. In the annual conference selections, Crothers, speedy East forw gained a much deserved berth on the mythical sq In tournament play, East drew Godwin for the game. After a hard fought battle, they finally sent Godwin five down to defeat by the close score ol to 30. Godwin had a greatly improved team over squad we had beaten the week before, In the dis finals we came up against a fast Christian team w took a rather easy victory by the score of 51 to 20. ' defeat eliminated East from the tournament and er our basketball season for another year.

TRACK First call for track practice found a large group of hopefuls ready for another season on the Cinder path. Returning veterans were Lee, Stoutjesdyk, Betts, Travis, Loeks, Rose, Williams, Farrant, Burtt, and Moore. Cas- key, Wurzhurg and johnson added strength to the well balanced squad. The hrst meet was a dual affair with Grandville. We ran off with an easy victory, scoring sixty-six and one- half points to forty and one-half for Grandville. Lee scored fifteen points for East taking firsts in the hun- dred yard and two-twenty yard dashes and the broad jump. Betts and Travis Hnished one-two in a fast 440. Faithful john Stoutjesdyk ran away from the field in the half mile as usual. Loeks took first in the pole vault, while Caskey garnered five points in the shot put. Farrant and Burtt shared honors in the high jump. The next victims of the Pioneers were Lowell and Godwin, who were defeated in a triangular meet at the Godwin field. East scored 60 points compared with 39 for Godwin and 28 for Lowell. Lee and Wurzburg finished one-two in the hundred and 220 as did Betts and Travis in the 440. Stoutjesdyk won again in the half mile. Rose won the high hurdles and Burtt shared a tie for first in the high jump with Kyser, Lowell star. The conference meet was held at Houseman field, it was sponsored by junior College. East won the confer- ence meet with thirty-five and one-half points. Grand- ville was close behind with thirty-four. Stoutjesdyk, Lee, and Betts kept their records clean by taking firsts in their respective events. Other East boys collected many second and third places to give us many much needed points. The relay team won in good time, barely nosing out a fast Grandville outfit. A special award was given by junior College for this event. In the regional meets, we managed to collect enough points to win the affair. Lee, Stoutjesdyk and Betts took their usual first places. In the state meet, we entered a strong team composed of Lee, Betts, and Stoutjesdyk. Lee was entered in the 100 and 220. Stoutjesdyk in the 880 and Betts in the 440. The relay team managed to place and when the final scores were added up it was found that East was out in front with 23 points. East was crowned State Class C Champions, a fitting close for a very suc- cessful season. This year, although the services of Lee, Stoutjesdyk, and Rose will he missed, the chances of producing another winner are good. Betts, Caskey, Moore, Wil- liams, johnson, Farrant, and Wurzburg will form the nucleus of a squad that will try to go as far this year in class B as they did last year in class C , Left to right: llutl llallard, lloh Cole, Phil llevhuer, Bob llover, -lorry llyrue, lfred hloseffy, llit-lc liautliier, jim l'oivilt-i'5', ,lim Clark, llzil llryrmt. Xlr, Yates lCUZlClll, GOLF Last year's golf squad had another successful season. Witlm veterans MacNaughton, Gauthier, and Massing- ham, and newcomers Bignall and Southwick, East had a wealth of material. Playing most of the matches against class A competition, the Pioneers broke even for the season by winning six matches, losing six and tying one. They won from Creston, Zeeland, Catholic, Central, and three times from North Muskegon, while losing to Creston, Ottawa and twice to Central and Ottawa. ln the second match with Zeeland, the Pioneers managed to hold the Chicks to a tie. After the regular season East took the regional tournament from North Muskegon by a total score of 383 to 592. In the state tournament University High School of Ann Arbor won by the score of 570 to 57-'i. This gave state champion- ship to University High with East as runner-up. ln the last match low-scoring john MacNaughton carded a sizzling 80 for the second lowest score in the Class C tournament. Although East has been moved from class to class B this year, the situation for 19-it looks promising. Major letter winner Gauthier will lead the team which will be chosen from Bryant, josetfy, Hey- boer, Boyer, and Cowdery. Bryant, joseify and Heyboer turned in some good scores last year and are expected to do better this spring. They will be forced to keep on their toes, because Cowdery, Boyer and a newcomer named Cole will be lighting for a berth on the squad. The golf team practices two or three times a week at Ridgemoor Golf course whenever the weather per- mits. ln tournament play we will be in class but that is not considered too serious a situation because most of the regular matches are with class A and B schools.

The outlook was none too optim because of the absence of every member of the invi ble team of 1939. Mr. Kutche was faced with the of molding a group of inexperienced boys into a midable squad. Bill Haynes and Bob Bennett madt the doubles team, while jerry Mulder and Dick l held down the singles posts. There were ten meet the schedule and the Pioneers started to get in sl for the hard job ahead of them. Playing like seasoned veterans, the Pioneers quished all Grand Valley competition to take the C ference championship. Grandville managed to win of their two meets with East, while Rockford, Lox Godwin, and Lee were each beaten twice. Of the doubles and singles matches East won 23 and lor With the conference championship Linder their l the Pioneers went into the regional meets. The sc as a whole lost out by a meager M point, but doubles team composed of Bennett and Haynes the regional championship. This spring the outlook is very bright indeed. ' every member of last year's team returning for ano season of play, Bennett and Haynes should go as as last year, and Ford and Mulder should give oppo netters lots of trouble. This is Mulder's last year, the other three boys will be back again next yea start in where they left off.

HOCKEY The hockey season literally opened and closed with a bang this year. With twenty-two determined females all scrambling after the same poor little ball, some- thing else is bound to be hit. I wonder who it was who made the dreadful mistake of calling women the gentler sex. Competition tends to make any sport have more life. That zest was added this year by a contest between the freshmen and the senior-high school. Representing the frolicsome freshmen were Pat Gauthier, Virginia Satin, Barbara Uakeson, Virginia Tidey, june Kemmer, Marian Steele, jane Sellers, Mary Webb, and Lucile Kennedy. The winning senior-high team was made up of Barbara Drew, Lois Martini, Ruth Rich, Betty june Thompson, Martha Roderick, Roberta Ames, LaVange Coleman, Charlene Golay, Barbara Wilcox, and Lorna Hurd. The losers, then, to prove their do- mestic capability, paid homage to the victors with a scrumptuous dinner in the cafeteria. How those girls' mothers can cook! Hockey without skates and ice seems to be unknown to most people. It is, however, a very exciting game to watch or to take part in - especially the feminine ver- sion. The request, Replace your divots, would be as much in order in Ramona Field, the home of the hockey horrors, as on any golf course. But when the girls do connect with that ball, it really travels. Of course, they have to find the ball before they can hit it, and at the beginning of the season, that proved a rather difficult task in the grass jungle. Later, however, some kindly soul, took pity on us and blazed a trail through the growth. All in all, the hockey season was very successful. Our hats are off to the girls' instructor, Miss Virginia Stapert, who has done wonders in creat- ing interest in hockey and every other sport at East. The dust has settled now on the field of another year's battle of sports. When the whistle is blown to begin next season, many of the familiar faces will be replaced by those of newcomers. But no matter who the players are, or what the game is, the principle will always be the same, You are always a winner, if you play square, VOLLEYBALL Barbara jarnac, Roberta Ames, Virginia Belkn Jeanne Brackett, LaVange Coleman, Barbara Dr' Charlene Golay, Sugar Hurd, Ruth Kaechele, Lu- Kennedy, Barbara Oakeson, Ruth Rich, Martha Ro rick, Betty june Thompson, Mary Welwb, Suzar Wliittier, Barbara Wilt'ox, Queenie Wing, and Nor Wetlierlwy make up the jolly bunch who came out volleyball this year. The game proved to be as full fun and excitement as ever, especially with the n freshmen recruits. Sad as it is to relate, there was no game with i teachers this year. lt had been arranged, but throt a mix-up in someones plans, the game was ne played off. It was probably a lucky thing for c side! But wait a minuteg there is something new unt the sun. Can you imagine playing volleyball witl' ball that comes up to your waistline. That is no w story, for the girls played with just such a ball, p chased this year by the school. It took at least t' girls even to get the ball over the net. Wliewl WI work that was! BADMINTON The air was full of birds, but beautiful spring v still far off. These birds, however, were not particu as to the weather, for they could take to the air at a time. I am speaking, not of robins, sparrows, or bli birds, but of our feathered friends which are driv back and forth over the net in the game of badmintc This is a game of great speed and skill. No s!ec ing on the job is allowed, for the players must be their toes every second. Contests were held in singles and doubles. Winr of the singles was Barbara Drew, after a hard sessi with runner-up Eleanor Eaton. The doubles were w by the team of Eaton and Drew, Tsk! Tsk! They sec to have had a monopoly there. Others who took a swing at that birdie were Ch. lene Golay, LaV.ange Coleman, Roberta Ames, B4 bara Wilc'ox, Martha Roderick, Lorna Hurd, Barb: Young, Phyllis McVoy, Mary Webb, Frances Pacquet Gail Rice, Betty june Thompson, Betty Bloomstro Ruth Rich, Betty Haynes, Norma Wetlmerlny, and Ru TENNIS Tennis is not a lazy man's game. lt requires mu speed and skill, and these can be obtained only throu, a great deal of practice. Twice weekly, therefore, the girls bound hither ai yon on the cement tennis courts. Some have had t occasion to find that cement rather hard, also. Bi then, that all adds to the fun and variety of the gan You never can tell what might happen next. A tennis court is a splendid stamping ground f those nasty temper tantrums, also. Wliile counting ten the next time you receive that undeserved lc mark, grab a racquet, and rush out to the courts. Ym will find that it feels wonderful when smashing th ball to imagine that it is your tormentor. Among those who were out for tennis this seasc were Sugar Hurd, Barbara Young, Phyllis McVc Betty june Thompson, Ruth Rich, Marian Swarthot Peggy Friend, LaVange Coleman, Ruth Kaechele, Ba bara Wfilcox, Pat Gauthier, Barbara Drew, Patty Willc Barbara Oakeson, Joyce Meengs, Dorothy Ballar Mary Edison, Virginia Tidey, and Barbara Dunn. Kaechele. ARCHERY Shouldering their mighty weapons, the girls trudged to the battle ground and began shooting. But their game was neither man nor mouse, it was archery. Zing! Wow! Right through the target. The power and speed behind a released arrow is surprising, 1 should hate ever to .argue with one in mid-air. Archery is increasing in popularity. It is a sport in which anyone can participate, for it is not too active, and yet, is no sissies game. Because it does not re- quire very much space, it can be played at cottages in the summer, at home, or wherever a pleasant form of recreation is desired. Archery, therefore will not die out as do some sports, which are fads only for a short time. Girls out for archery this spring included Jeanne Brackett, l.aVern Reeves, Barbara Young, Ruth Rich, Peggy Friend, Anne Patterson, LaVange Coleman, Ruth Kaechele, Charlene Golay, Patty Willey, Barbara Jar- nac, Lucile Kennedy, Patty Muir, Barbara Oakeson, Dorothy Ballard, Mary Edison, Jean Zagelmeier, Mary Hibbard, Pat Crothers, Winnie Knape, Barbara Dunn, TRACK This sport is separated into many different divisions, and each has its own followers. Track is different from most sports, also, in that each person is working for herself and not for a team. She is on her own and competing against everyone else. Une division, the high jump, is particularly inter- esting. A person would think that the girl with long legs would have a great advantage. I thought so, my- self, until l saw some of the shorties do their stuff. They are all right! Broad jump, shot put, relays, and hurdle races are the other divisions into which track is divided. With such a selection from which to choose, a girl of any build should be able to find a sport that appeals to her. Among those out for track in the spring were Jeanne Brackett, Sugar Hurd, Virginia Satin, Lucile Kennedy, Virginia Tidey, and Betty VanAntwerp. BASEBALL Mr. Sun glared as the two teams took their places. Then, with the approval of the enthusiastic audience of waving trees and chattering birds, the game began. Bang! Crash! With the tinkle of broken glass the base- ball season was officially open. Among the feminine flashes seen Hitting hither and thither on the diamond were Jeanne Brackett, Sugar Hurd, Betty June Thompson, Barbara Young, Ruth Rich, Peggy Friend, Virginia Satin, LaVange Coleman, Ruth Kaechele, Patty Willey, Barbara Jarnac, Pat Gau- thier, Lucile Kennedy, Lois Martini, Catherine Mc- Guire, Virginia Tidey, Barbara Dunn, and Barbara Uakeson. Oh, my, such vim and vigorl Where was that talent scout? and Betty Haynes. BOWLING One sport that has been left out in the pictures on these pages is bowling. It would never do, however, to leave it out entirely. for everyone bowls nowadays. Whole families visit the alleys and spend a pleasant hour or two. The bending and stretching is also good for keeping the figure trim. Regular bowlers were Betty Bloomstrom, Barbara Wilcox, Betty VanAntwerp, Marcia Mueller, and Betty June Thompson. BASKETBALL It is said that a man is to be pitied who has an argu- ment with a woman. What, then, of a poor referee who has words with ten of them at one time. Seriously, however, basketball can be a very exciting and fascinating game if the players know what they are doing. And we do. Don't we, Miss Stapert? One of the best finds of the year was that senior, Jeanne Brackett. We hear that she put in a lot of prac- tice to improve her basketball skill, She certainly did get results, Another wizard on the basketball floor was Mary Webb, a freshman out for intra-murals for the first year. For some reason, however, Mary always seemed to step out-of-bounds just when the referee was look- ing. That was bad. Girls' basketball is anything but a quiet game. Squeals of delight when a basket is made, remarks about decisions, and directions shouted at the person with the ball all add to the atmosphere. But then, A woman's tongue is never done,'l or have I mis- quoted that saying? Basketball seems to he little played by the girls at other schools, and I really feel sorry for them. To me, it is one of the most enjoyable sports offered. The game never becomes dull, as some others do, for so many different situations can arise. One game is never like another, Perhaps girls' basketball will never receive the pub- licity and attention that boys' has. In fact, it probably never will, for the rules of girls' basketball slow it 2 Q W we , ..

But no matter what the outsid thoughts, I know that the girls get just as much pli ure, if not more, from participating in the sport do the boys. Roberta Ames, Jeanne Brackett, Barbara Drew, Bi june Thompson, Charlene Golay, Sugar Hurd, Lu Kennedy, Ruth Rich, Martha Roderick, Mary We Barbara Wilcox, Barbara Young, Marian Swarthc Pat Gauthier, LaVange Coleman, and Barbara jar were the girls who came out regularly for basketl this season. They all put everything they had into game, and thereby enjoyed every minute of the 1 nights of play each week. A word of praise is I every one of them, for each girl knew her basketl thoroughly.

IN TERLOCHEN Qliour-thirty on a Tuesday afternoonj -It's certainly quiet around here this late. If Mr. Krul hadn't made me stay and wash chemistry dishes, I'd have been out of here a long time ago. -Too bad. I know how he is. If he catches you talk- ing, theres just no - -What's that racket? It sounds like a cat and dog fight or something. -Oh, that's just an Ifzferlovben meeting. They have discussions like that all the time. A couple weeks ago it was how to do the Senior section. Eileen Kollenbergs in charge, and she had an idea to do it differently this year. Not just a cut-and-dried list of activities for each person, but something more personal and descriptive. She had an awful time convincing the rest of the staff, though. -It's a wonder they don't all go deaf. And poor Mrs. Yonkman, I can't see how she puts up with it. fCan you hear what they're saying? Listen, it's some- thing about burlap and gold and blue g. What could that be? -I don't know, unless they're talking about the cover. Sure, that's it.

STUDENT COUNCIL Jverheard fifth hour in the lower hallj Going to the library? Nope, I've got to go out and move my car. jim Dewar's orders. You know, that Student Council stuff. If you park wrong, you get kicked oft' the lot for a while. That's not a bad idea. It should make for less mixup on the lot. Dewar's awfully strict, though, isn't he? And how! Almost as strict as those honor study hall directors. That's another Student Council brain- child. Having honor study halls, I mean, and the school's really proud of the idea. You'd think kids would cut loose if they were left without a teacher. You'd think so, but they don't. In fact, those honor study halls are ten times quieter than the regular ones. I'd like to be in one, but my citizenship grades aren't good enough. You have to have all ones, or at least all except for one two . Harland Smith's the director of mine. Do you know what he told me the other day? Can't imagine. Well, he said the Student Council paid the way for all the football and basketball lettermen to go to Rockford for a banquet for Grand V.alley lettermen. Pretty nice for them, wasn't it? I'll say. That banquet must have been jammed, but I'll bet it was fun. I hope our boys finally got on good terms with the boys from Lee while they were there. --They did that a long time ago. After the Lee basket- ball game, the Student Council sponsored a feed for the players, and it promoted such a good feeling the Council repeated it after the Rockford game. -That's swell. Gives the boys a chance to be friends and talk things over. Uh-huh. fThe clock jumps loudly., Say, it's getting late. I signed out for English and l'd better get going.

I've got mine in my other notebook or I wouldnt have bothered you. It's no bother. They're easy enough to Hnd because they're green. Makes them stick out like a sore thumb. Do you realize that all we've talked about for ten minutes is the Student Council and its doings? Well, while were at it we might as well say :tome- thing about jinny Widney's plan for seating in as- semblies. I bet the Seniors feel self-conscious when they have to walk out first. Self-conscious, nothing, they love it. Oh well, maybe we'll get to be seniors some day. Maybe. Hey, I've got to move that car. Wait a minute. Look, isn't that a new trophy? -Where? Yes, I guess it is. The other ones look awfully dingy, don't they? You know why that is. The Senior girls have been telling the Council they'd polish them ever since September, and they never got around to do it. . 6. Ks- 9 ' t 1 .1 . . X., t7,,.gT?-fly l Y.

BAND Qwhispered conversation during assemblyj A Xlifhat was that piece the band played when we were coming in? ff--I don't know. Something about the army or the navy f or maybe the marines. - --The band's really improved, hasnt it? Fifteen new pieces since fall. V Remember how keen they looked marching in their new uniforms at the football games? And for a small school, we had swell drum-majors. Mr. Kinch- eloe has done wonders with them. Bob Bennett- he's the president of the band -. Since when does a band have a president? -Since last fall. Bennett's president, Jim Snow's vice- president, Duncan Willy's treasurer, and Don Clark's business manager. They plan the band's program, and stuff like that. -The bands getting democratic. Did they plan that band festival in March? I d0n't think so. The bands from Rockford, Lee, Godwin, Wyoming Park, and East got together for a mass band recital and so forth. At the end they all played togetherftwo hundred and fifty-six of 'em . . . directed by Mr. Harold Bachman from the University of Chicago. Weren't you there? -I missed that one, but I took in the annual spring concert. That was super. Say, do you remember the pep-rally with Lee that was broadcast over WLAV? The student body really gave out with the cheers, and the band was on hand to play our song. -Sure, I remember that. Good old school spirit. The band's done more than anything else to build that up. ffMr. Kincheloe gives them a chance to direct, too. I was watching Bud Ballard direct the other day, and it was a howl. I finally discovered there's more to directing a band than just standing up and waving a stick. A lot of the boys are going in for it. fwill Gay Bottje even directed his own composition in assembly last fall. I-Ie couldn't think up a name for it, but it was a swell march ff an unrecognized genius in our midst. -ABob DeYoung's another one. He's not really a mem- ber of the band, but he's still a great composer. 4We'd better shut up now. I feel a cold stare in the back. fSilence and attention for fully a minute., fl just thought of something.

They were the carolers in the Christmas play, too. Seems an awfully long time since then, doesn't it? A JK ,lamp vip A KM .aa r x 8,33 'Sw 4.2: 351 X . A X- ft' r ii i -9 -I Q G LW i I '33, . fc.

You knov the one that was a week late. They all were in red, white and blue that time. Di you notice? Were they? Well, well, how appropriate. I nevc caught on to that. Mr, Kincheloe had them for ushers at the Band Fe: tival for should I say usherettes? That man he done wonders. Yeah. Last year we didn't even have a Glee Clul This year he started from scratch, and just look wht he's done. What does he do? Go around auditioning people l'd hate to have to sing a solo for him if I wante to join the Glee Club. -kAnybody that wants to can be in it. You don't hav to try out. just present yourself and say, I like t sing. Can I be in the Glee Club? and you're ir They want to get more members, so theres you chance. Do they have to rehearse after school? I-Iaven't you ever heard them fifth hour? That their rehearsal time Q every Thursday. Lots of time I've stuck my head out of the door- they meet i the shop buildingfand listened to them for couple minutes. Oh, yes, I can just see myself sticking my head ot of the window during French class and saying t Miss Wright, Ecoutez un moment, la musique. Wouldn't that be jolly? Well, it's too bad you don't have a study hall. In more ways than one. Speaking of study hall: since I don't have one, I've got to get going on m French. Besides, the traffic's getting too thick.

Backstage during a rehearsal., That prompter sure is busy today. Nobody seems to know his lines. Don't worry. Miss CQhase'll whip them into shape in a couple of days. Her new dramatics program is different enough. I mean not having a club -just people volunteering if they want to participate in dramatic activities. A hundred and forty-two signed up for it, and every one of them has had a chance to do something. You mean there are no officers, no meetings, no nothing? just a staff to take charge of certain departments, such as make-up and all that. It's worked out swell, too. I.ook at all they've done this year. Remember The Mall in flu' Bowler' Hal? I couldn't for the life of' me figure out what that man was doing, just sitting there. And the Christmas play. I thought the costumes in that were wonderful. The home ec. classes made them. Did you see the lights the school bought this year? At least, the school bought the material. and some of the boys, under Mr. Moores direction, built the boxes and whatever else you have to do to make lights work. I never saw a year like this for assemblies. livery holi- day we've had one, and pep assemblies and variety programs all over the place. The speech class gave some scenes from To the l..nfie,i'. and the tenth grade linglish cla:-uses went highbrow with Tiwfflln Niglif. And patriotic programs for I.incoln's and Wiisliing' ton's birthdays and Armistice Day. Didn't that fire look real? The one in the play about the boys in XXfashington's army. It really did. Dramatics is finally turning out to amount to something here at Iiast. Before we had a Senior play and a Christmas program. but now it's different. llc lliil letter. lllris Nililllxvielv.
