Wihen asked what he thought of this year's senior class. Mr. Averill just smiled sadly and remained silent. Interpreting this to mean he was literally hearthroken at seeing us leave. we are doing every- thing in our power to stay another year. ln his new position of assistant principal. Mr. Moore has won the admiration of students and faculty. Nothing seems to alter the efficiency and care he devotes to each prohlem hrought hefore him. No matter how husy she is. Miss WVHIFFDIGII is always ready to listen to our trouhles. Vlve sincerely appreciate all she has done to help us through the trials and trihulatious of high school. Miss lllackellen has a wonderful sense of humor. We appreciate her cheerfulness and her alnilitv to laugh with us. 4'Diligenc-ei' is the key-word to Miss Vffrigllfs character for she directs her classes in Spanish and French with the utmost care. Who else could teach such difficult suhjects and still retain uniform good humor? Patience and helpfulness are two of Mrs. Canlp- llellss main characteristics, No one who has taken her English courses can fail to appreciate her friendly attitude. language. Miss Armitage has made it intensely alive. llue to her excellent teaching and charming lfnglish manner. the small Homers of tomorrow are at last straightening out the confusing intricacies of the l.atin suhjunctives. ln shite of the fact that l.atin is considered a llf'illl Miss De,longe's jolw has developed exceptional importance this year. for she teaches mathematics to those students who will enter the services. She has met this challenge with unrelenting vigor and cheer- fulness. Although Mr. McBride is convinced that we are too elementary to comprehend higher mathematics. he continues his hopeless task patiently and untir- ingly. At last. after countless attempts. we see fit to agree with him. Mrs. Cornell is a hmath teacher of no little ahility. She has a way of getting her students inter- ested in arithmetic. hecause she makes herself under- stood so well.

A We if Vfyk, Miss Berg just loves to putter around with puppets at all times. Everything from grotesque ghosts to Hawaiian dancers can be seen dangling about her room. Vllith patient teaching she has helped her pupils turn out puppets amazingly life-like. Miss Cummings is one of our favorites. ln win- ning the respect and love of her pupils and in sheer ability to teach, she is unsurpassed. No one but Coach Elliott could have developed our inexperienced boys into the championship teams we've had this year. Few of us realize the trials and tribulations of a coach. Vile are very grateful to him. Mrs. Ashley very successfully took Miss l'lthier's place as a science teacher for a time. Since then she has become one of the favorite 'unior hiffh teachers. l :- Miss Holland is one of thc prettiest and most like- able teachers in the building. She has a grand per- sonality and is very popular with her students. Vlvhen our younger boys go into the army, they will owe a great deal to Miss Ethier. She is a fine teacher of aeronautics, as well as a good friend to all her pupils. Miss Stapert is still hopeful that someday. some- one besides a senior will make a basket. Donlt worry too much: every class canit be as versatile as ours. 6 Nlllll sf' a Joh THLODOHI AALSBURGM 6' We dont hue to wi h luek VaJlrriww's sure .X KJJQJ o umceed i il Ala 's man it amon the fellow l up lh!f'V.

I had nothing else to do until it was time for me to dress to go to the theatre, where I was to see a new play called School Daysv, the biggest hit Broadway had seen for years. But for the time being I sat back indolently, while the radio played my favorite programs. The first one I heard as I twirled the dial was Seth Bidwell in Tell It To The D.A.7'. This pro- gram was one of the nationis favorites, since Seth in person presented some of his own experiences as the young and successful District Attorney of New York, where he had been called after a short but brilliant career as a criminal lawyer. Everyone knew that Sleepy had almost single-handedly put down the crime wave after the Second World War. A sports broadcast by Gerald Muir followed. Gerald's play-by-play descriptions of football games and his shorts in the movies rivalled Ted Husing's in popularity. Then came the Crown Cola Hour, starring Martha Roderick singing the music of Will Gay Bottje. Bill's music equalled that of Gershwin in the eyes of both critics and public, while Marty had man- aged to combine successfully an opera career with domestic life. She had been happily married for several years. An added attraction on this musical program was Eugene Bellis, who had been hailed as the most superb crooner of his time. I turned off my radio just as the announcer remarked that these programs had been made pos- sible through the expert technical assistance of the noted radio engineer, Bill Oliver. It was time for me to leave for the theatre. I happened to know that 4'School Daysw dealt with a supposedly fictitious graduating class, but that the class in question was none other than the senior class of 1943 of East Grand Rapids High School. I was eager to see what had become of my old classmates and to find out how accurately I had guessed when I had written the class prophecy years ago. From my seat in the third row on the aisle, I noticed Roberta Ames, scribbling busily on a tablet. Bert was the editor of a nationally syndi- cated gossip column which finally drove Walter Winchell from the tabloid field in disgust. Carefully scrutinizing all the members of the audience was Boy Clements, the brilliant detective and head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Two rows back I spotted Phyllis Buckman, edi- tor of '4Clubby Clothesn, which sold more copies per issue that either 6'V0gue or 4'Mademoiselle . With her was Bob Chance, the original and clever fashion designer, whom we had all' expected to become a band leader. I noticed that Phyll was looking fixedly across the aisle, and following the direction of her gaze, I saw George Gregoire, proprietor of Gregoire's Model Agency. With him were three of his beautiful models: Nancy Ten Broek, Jeanne Moore, and Susanne Wade. In a private box I caught a glimpse of General .lim Cowdery who had distinguished himself so signally during -the Second World War. With him were LaVange Coleman, head of all the W.A.A.C.'s in the United States, Phil Cornelius, the eminent aeronautical engineer, and Paul Olsen, a pilot who probably knew more about dive bombers than any other man alive. The house lights were dimming and I had time only to glance at my programme to see that '4School Daysv was produced, directed, and acted in by Ted Brink, with Phyllis McVoy as the leading lady. Ted had frequently been compared by critics to a cross between Orson Welles and Noel Coward, while Phyllis had been a brilliant actress even in high school. This pair was frequently known as 'cThe King and Queen of Broadwayw. The play was apparently to be a series of short sketches regarding the lives of each member of the senior class. Patty Muir was the first occupant of the stage. She wore the pointed slippers and bouffant skirts of a ballerina, and I remembered having heard that she was the premiere danseuse at the Russian Ballet that winter. Bob Cole, foot- ball coach at the University of Michigan, whose crack teams had won the Big Ten championship for the past seven years, was said to have gotten the idea for one of his most successful plays from a dance step of Pattyis. Jerry Byrne was the next occupant of the stage. In his businesslike-looking overcoat and soft hat with a pencil behind his ear, he presented the per- fect picture of a busy reporter. There was no need to explain the situation, for everyone knew that .lerry was one of the top reporters and news ana- lysts in the country. The end of the .first act had come, and I arose and wandered out into the lobby. I saw John Mackay, Senator from Michigan for twelve years, standing there in a crowd of admiring friends and autograph seekers, all wishing him well in his campaign for re-election. I went over to speak to .AW ? 13?

A cool, damp breeze ruffled the hair of the tanned young army officer, Captain Jim Smith, who lay peacefully sleeping in the narrow, white hospital cot. Slowly opening his eyes, he gazed in amazement at the white-clad doctors and nurses and the many rows of patients. Not until he heard his name spoken, did his gaze return to the bedside where he beheld a pretty, little, dark-haired nurse. She smiled pleasantly and asked, Remember me? His mind carried him back a few years and he recognized none other than his old school chum, Ellen Platte. Not only had one of his old friends appeared suddenly in the middle of the African desert, but miraculously enough, she held under her arm that magnificent publication, the 1943 ulnterlochenv. In his eagerness to look at the book, Jim bravely attempted to sit up but received several sharp pains in the back. After warning him against too violent exertions, she arranged him comfortably and in- trusted into his hands that prized volume. He remembered well that first, fateful day when his mother had fairly dragged him up the steps of the grey stone kindergarten to be met by the sweet smile of Mrs. Wife and the Slingshot of Seth Bid- well. There was also the annoying personality of little Betty Van Antwerp. who insisted upon refer- ring to him as f'Carrot Topw. The 'two Clements brothers were there toog Artie. proudly displayed his model wagon, which had won first place in a radio contest, while Boy hotly insisted that he had made half of it and wanted some credit. Even in kindergarten one found Eugene Bellis whistling continually and the class owed thanks for most of its elegant parties to the generosity of Marion Pray. In a far corner Jim had seen three sedate young ladies: Patty Muir, who even then knew how to handle men, Roberta Ames, crying because she didn't want mother to leave her, and Ellen Platte, whose chief interest, as usual, was food. The daredevil of his chums was none other than Dean Spaulding. Bob Chance had started his suc- cessful musical career by shaking a tambourine to the tune of London Bridge Is Falling Downf, Another musician in their young group had been Vllill Gay Bottje, who often accompanied Bob on the piano with one finger. Virginia Verhey and Joan Poisson argued continually as to which one of their dolls looked the most like a real baby. Jacob Markham, because of his manly voice, was chosen to be conductor of their wooden block train and Doris Knol, Lois Stegenga, and La Vange Coleman, posing as grown up ladies, dutifully paid him coins fashioned out of clay by the hands of Chuck Loper. The following year the class was divided into two sections. The little boys had nearly come to blows arguing over who was going to sit next to the pretty girl who had just arrived. This turned out to be Frances Paquette, who was perfectly capable of making her own decision. Another arrival who had caused fluttering in the hearts of the young ladies was Bill Torgerson. In the second grade they had been joined by a witty fellow, Fred Perkins. That year Tom Finch and Bob Paley, both new arrivals, had introduced the exciting game of Hcop and robbersw, and Doro- thy Snapp had entertained them with her first tap dance. Timid little Bill Oliver could be seen sitting in the corner instructing Bill Webb in the use of the multiplication tables. The third grade had brought difficulties in the line of spelling. Susanne Wade and Anne Patterson had arrived just in time to aid in figuring out this new puzzle. Bud Powers had also put in his appear- ance and suggested that Mrs. Lair get them some goldfish la step which she always regrettedl. The fifth grade had added two popular young ladiesg .leanne Moore, whose long brown curls and sparkling eyes immediately captivated the heart of the unsuspecting Artie Clements, and Martha Roderick, a young lady who amazed them all with her skill in playing Hop Scotch. Bruce Clark also arrived to increase the musical talent of the fifth graders. This talented young group presented an elaborate version of 'LHansel and Gretelv. Bud Powers, in charge of the scenery, produced a candy house - the like of which none of us had ever seen. The sole addition to his clan in the sixth year had been Tom Warren, who definitely did not like hooks. The Safety Squad appeared at that time, and ,lim and his friends paraded in their elegant arm bands and safety badges. Passing into the seventh grade, his joy had been complete. At last he could catch a glimpse of the interior of the senior high school. Gail Rice had arrived from Ottawa that year, and her genius for writing had produced a great many humorous poems about all of them, particularly a young lady named Charlene Golay, who had gotten on entirely too well with the teachers. Nancy Ten Broek had also joined them and was quickly acclaimed the most glamorous of the seventh grade beauties. Mary Lou Cork had made her appearance at the beginning of the eighth grade. She was a busy little girl always at the center of a chatty gathering. They had also been joined by the radiant personal- ity of Robert fPittsburghJ Boyer, who showed the up-and-coming socialites how to dance the way Miss Travis did not teach them. Phyllis McVoy joined them too, and was always bubbling over with new ideas. Ottawa sent another addition, Bill Haynes, who, the girls agreed, had the only line that sounded anywhere near sincere. Handsome Jim Cowdery came too, and the girls began looking with scorn at the other eighth grade Romeos. Last of the new arrivals was Bruce Veltman, who spent his time explaining what went into the Veltman cookies. Jim could never forget his freshman year. His grade had been greatly increased by the arrival of twelve new students. He remembered well how Peggy Furhee had poked her head in the door, to be greeted by several loud complimentary whistles. The freshman class had also annexed Jerry Byrne, who didnit mean to sound funny, it just happened. The girls had immediatelly flocked around Libla Bloomstrom, who promised to conduct classes in how to make rag dolls. Louis Wickman was already showing his love for sports and could be seen tack- ling anybody, any place, any time. Saint Stephens had given them Joe Pierce, who distinguished him- self for his habit of not taking school too seriously. Jeanne Schaap, a very serious student, and Louanne Johnson also put in their appearances. Welcome additions to the stag line'were Ed Fritz and Ted Aalsburg, who just loved mathematics. Among the female newcomers ,lim remembered Charlene Pois- son and Pat Crothers, the girl with that handsome brother. Then there was a dashing young fellow named Paul Olsen who could often be found telling a group of interested companions what had hap- pened to him back in Marinette. The next year the sophomores had welcomed John Mackay, who quickly' won himself the title of class wit. Bob Cole and Winnie Knape had left Ottawa to join them, and George Gregoire was inspiring East's cheering section with his unique method of ucheer leading. Nancy Harkness was quickly accepted by them, all as a gal who was definitely Mon the beam. 'They had also found in their midst a certain Ernest Malkewitz, who was destined to become the Einstein of algebra four. The eleventh grade had presented the problem of acquiring money for the Junior-Senior Recep- tion. The Young in Heart filled the treasury. That year Phil Corneliusihad arrived at East to make life more complicated for the teachers with that well-known phrase tl'rat's the one I didn't do, and Ted Brink had arrived with his excellent imi- tations of Charles Boyer, ,lohn Barrymore, and Boake Carter. Miss Brumbaugh was faced with another startling discovery-John Bissell's love for a good argument. To ,lim the senior year was more vivid than all the others. Gerry Potter arrived in time to show them all how ujitterbuggingn should be done, while Bob Healy, an expert in the field of photography, arrived from Royal Oak. Gerald Muir had also returned in time to graduate with his chums. The midsemester brought Phyllis Buckman and her snappy clothes. However, East lost four of its young geniuses. ,lim Cowclery had entered Kenyon College as a meteorologist, while Will Gay Bottje, the talented musician, had enrolled in the ,lulliard School of Music. Ted Brink and Virginia Verhey had taken up jobs in their chosen fieldsg Ted, an announcer, and Virginia, a business secretary. Jim recalled the football game the seniors won from the underclassmen, and the senior assembly in which Paul Olsen and Bob Paley had been pre- historic monsters. Also vividly pictured was his role as a detective in their senior play, 'lWha-t a Life. At last, with slow and unsure steps, they had paraded down the aisle to graduation. The classes, pep meetings, and teachers would be lost to him, but he still had a little of that good old East High spirit and a group of friends that he would never forget. PROPHECY OF THE CLASS OF ,43 For a long time that evening I listened to my radio. I had nothing else to do until it was time for me to dress to go to the theatre, where I was to see a new play called School Days , the biggest hit Broadway had seen for years. But for the time being I sat back indolently, while the radio played my favorite programs. The first one I heard as I twirled the dial was Seth Bidwell in f'Tell It To The D.A. . This pro- gram was one of the nationis favorites, since Seth in person presented some of his own experiences as the young and successful District Attorney -of New York, where he had been called after a short but brilliant career as a criminal lawyer. Everyone knew that Sleepy had almost single-handedly put down the crime wave after the Second World War. A sports broadcast by Gerald Muir followed. Geraldis play-by-play descriptions of football games and his shorts in the movies rivalled Ted Husing's in popularity. Then came the Crown Cola Hour, starring Martha Roderick singing the music of Will Gay Bottje. Bill's music equalled that of Gershwin in the eyes of both critics and public, while Marty had man- aged to combine successfully an opera career with domestic life. She had been happily married for several years. An added attraction on this musical program was Eugene Bellis, who had been hailed as the most superb crooner of his time. I turned off my radio just as the announcer remarked that these programs had been made pos- sible through the expert technical assistance of the noted radio engineer, Bill Oliver. It was time for me to leave for the theatre. I happened to know that School Days dealt with a supposedly fictitious graduating class, but that the class in question was none other than the senior class of 1943 of East Grand Rapids High School. I was eager to see what had become of my old classmates and to find out how accurately I had guessed when I had written the class prophecy years ag-o. From my seat in the third row on the aisle, I noticed Roberta Ames, scribbling busily on a tablet. Bert was the editor of a nationally syndi- cated gossip column which finally drove Walter Winchell from the tabloid field in disgust. Carefully scrutinizing all the members of the audience was Boy Clements, the brilliant detective and head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Two rows back I spotted Phyllis Buckman, edi- tor of '4Clubby Clothes , which sold more copies per issue that either '4Vogue,, or G'Mademoiselle . With her was Bob Chance, the original and clever fashion designer, whom we had all expected to become a band leader. I noticed that Phyll was looking fixedly across the aisle, and following the direction of her gaze, I saw George Gregoire, proprietor of Gregoire's Model Agency. With him were three of his beautiful models: Nancy Ten Broek, Jeanne Moore, and Susanne Wade. In a private box I caught a glimpse of General .lim Cowdery who had distinguished himself so signally during the Second World War. With him were .LaVange Coleman, head of all the W.A.A.C.'s in the United States, Phil Cornelius, the eminent aeronautical engineer, and Paul Olsen, a pilot who probably knew more about dive bombers than any other man alive. The house lights were dimming and I had time only to glance at my programme to see that 'iSchool Daysi' was produced, directed, and acted in by Ted Brink, with Phyllis McVoy as the leading lady. Ted had frequently been compared by critics to a cross between Orson Welles and Noel Coward, while Phyllis had been a brilliant actress even in high school. This pair was frequently known as HThe King and Queen of Broadwayw. The play was apparently to be a series of short sketches regarding the lives of each member of the senior class. Patty Muir was the first occupant of the stage. She wore the pointed slippers and bouffant skirts of a ballerina, and I remembered having heard that she was the premiere danseuse at the Russian Ballet that winter. Bob Cole, foot- ball coach at the University of Michigan, whose crack teams had won the Big Ten championship for the past seven years, was said to have gotten the idea for one of his most successful plays from a dance step of Patty's. Jerry Byrne was the next occupant of the stage. In his businesslike-looking overcoat and soft hat with a pencil behind his ear, he presented the per- fect picture of a busy reporter. There was no need to explain the situation, for everyone knew that Jerry was one of the top reporters and news ana- lysts in the country. The end of the first act had come, and I arose and wandered out into the lobby. I saw John Mackay, Senator from Michigan for twelve years, standing there in a crowd of admiring friends and autograph seekers, all wishing him well in his campaign for re-election. I went over to speak to N-gitffllllff 0 xi 0 . - JF A ' ts ell LIB him and he called my attention to his private sec- retary, Lois Stegenga. She was as quiet and retiring as ever, but I knew that she efficiently took many cares' off the shoulders of the busy statesman. HI couldnit get along without herf, John con- fessed. i'Do you remember .Iohn Bissell, the carpet- sweeper magnate? He's been in Washington the past six weeks, lobbying for big business. And then there's Lou Cork. She's been a Congress- woman for quite awhile, and now she's Speaker of the House. She wants Nancy Harkness, the able ambassador, sent back to London, but I want her to go to Paris this time. Did you know that Fred Perkins was appointed Secretary of the Treasury last week? Look at her, she's drawing more of a crowd than I am. I glanced in the indicated direction and saw the glamourous Margot Beaver, who had been Peggy Furbee until Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer had changed her name. She was Hollywood's most beautiful movie star, and had been officially given the title of Sweetheart of the U.S.A.',. I wondered if she remembered when we had called her HThe Sweet- heart of the Senior Classf' The lights were dimming again and I hurried back to my seat just in time to see Elizabeth Bloom- strom come in. Liz had become a distinguished architect, and had recently received great acclaim for designing the PeninsulariState Building in Detroit, the tallest building in the world. With Libla was Ted Aalsburg, a civil engineer of inter- national reputation, in collaboration with whom Liz was said to be designing a bridge across the Atlantic Ucean. Pat Crothers. her efficient and self-possessed private secretary, accompanied her. Suddenly there was a commotion, and the manager came out on the stage, raising his hand for silence. 'fls there a doctor in the house? he inquired. A tall, vaguely familiar man arose. He had handsome features, graying hair, and a gray mous- tache and goatee. I realized with a start -that it was none other than Bill Torgerson. Can I help?', he asked. 6'Tom Finch, the famous test pilot, has just been injured trying out a new parachute. He jumped from the Empire State Building and the 'chute didn't open. They brought him in here. Would you come and take a look at him? Dr. Torgerson disappeared backstage, but in a minute he was back. 'There should be an imme- diate operationf, he saidf I am afraid Captain Finch has hurt his head badly. I am not a surgeon, unfortunately - Is there anything I can do? All eyes turned to a pretty girl who was making her way toward the stage. HDL Anne Pattersonlii exclaimed Dr. Torgerson in relief. You'are the only brain surgeon in the world who can save Captain Finchln MI can't do it alone, Dr. Patterson replied. I must have a psychiatrist as ja consultant. The audience was tens with excitement, for Tom Finch was a nationa hero. .Louis Wickman soon appeared in the doorway of -the centre aisle. He had been informed of the need for a skilled psychiatrist and had come in from the street to volunteer his services. A call for nurses went out. and Jeanne Schapp, Dorothy Snapp, and Ellen Platte came forward. These three girls had saved the lives of countless soldgrfrs at the risk of their own during -the Second . orld War, and upon their appearance it was felt that the idol of the populace had some chance for recovery. The little party disappeared into the wings of the theatre. followed by Captains Arthur Clements and Joseph Pierce. I remembered that during the war these two, with Tom, had been known as the Three Musketeers of the Air , and it had been due to 'if Q rj' l --.. r 7 their valor, more than to any other single cause, that the Armistice had finally been signed in 194-5. The Three Musketeers, by the way, had always modestly ascribed their success to the fact that their planes had been designed by that genius of aeronautical construction, Ernest Malkewitz. As the play was resumed, Gerry Potter, who had taken the place of Edgar Guest in the 1950's, recited some of his own poetry. Few had suspected Gerry of poetic leanings, but I knew he was des- tined to be either an author or a violinist because of his hair. Secondly we were confronted by a group of successful businessmen. Among them was Bob Boyer, who had started life as a part-time insurance salesman and had risen to the presidency of a great company. Next in line was Chuck Loper, editor of the New York Daily Timesf' He was known and respected as an able formulator of public opinion. ,lim Smith, the multi-millionaire, was also in the group, having gained a monopoly of the automobile business, he sold more cars than Henry Ford. Dean Spalding, known as one of the cleverest stock operators on Wall Street, was among those present, as was Bill Webb, who lived on a large farm in Ohio and sold prize vegetables and stock. His estate was said to be one of the most beautiful in the country, having been designed by Tom Warren, who was at the top of the landscape gardening profession. The famous Betty Van Antwerp next made her appearance. She was famous because she had become a welder, and was one of the best in the business. She was so good that a song, Betty, the Blowtorch Gal had been written about her. The song ousted 4'Rosie, the Riveter from the Hit Parade List in two days. The third attraction was greeted with riotous applause. Bud Powers had become a forester, and in the memorable summer of 1947 had vanquished almost single-handedly a gigantic forest fire which had threatened to engulf the entire state of Michigan. Next the audience was entertained by a short lecture from Bill Haynes, the noted traveler and explorer. One of the most romantic figures of the age, Bill was to the fifties what Richard Hali- burton had been to the thirties. Further entertainment was afforded by Bob Paley, who had risen to fame and fortune by teach- ing his own system of muscular development. He was at the top of his profession, although he was rivalled by Bob Healy, who, even as a little boy had been inspired by the ambition to be 'fa big strong man like daddy. Louanne Johnson, head of a famous cosmetic house and a woman captain of industry, was next called to the attention of the audience, followed by Winnie Knape, chief buyer for Saks Fifth Avenue. Saks had more than trebled its turnover since Winnie had held that position. Charlene Golay, one of the most beloved figures in public life, made her appearance next. Chuckie had gone to Germany after the war to do recon- struction work and teach the ideals of democracy to the German people. Returning to the United States ten years later, she had met Frances Paquette, who had been doing brilliant work in the field of social service. They had established a settlement house in New York comparable to .lane Addams, Hull House, and both were justly revered for their great services to the American people. Edward Fritz, the mathematical genius who had discovered the hfth dimension, and Bruce Clark, whose work in the field of chemical research had been astounding the scientific world, then made brief appearances. The act was concluded by some thrilling stunts by Joan Poisson, who had become a professional roller skater. During the brief intermission, between the second and third acts, the manager came out on the stage and announced that Captain Finch had been saved and had now almost completely recovered. The announcement was greeted with thunderous cheers from the audience, although I heard some irrev- erent person near me mutter a'Tom was always like that.'7 The last act depicted a great state university in which several former East students were teachers. Doris Knol was the efficient and quietly erudite librarian, and Charlene Poisson was one of the professors in the College of Business and Public Administration. Marian Pray was a brilliant pro- fessor of college biology, advanced physics, and electronics, while Jinny Verhey utilized her tact and her ability to handle people as Dean of Vffomen. Bruce Veltman had become a teacher of organic chemistry, while he conducted brilliant chemical experiments outside of class hours. When the play was over, I found myself next to Admiral Jacob Markham. Admiral Markham, the hero of the South Pacific, had been to the Navy what General Cowdery had been to the Army dur- ing the war. HI read your last book, Gail, he remarked. MWC always thought you'd turn out to be a writerln . 4--X of MMM: if ?3 i Merc 'Q F Nuff IT v I ' X tc . JD!

T L DENT COUNCIL lf people gained weight at the basketball games those luscious doughnut sales that the Student Council so successfully sponsored this year could have been responsible. Yes. the council is still trying in every way possible to link closer together the student body and the administration. This has always been the main purpose of the council. An illustration of this purpose is their sponsorship of the Student Mixer. which included a full evening of good 'ole' fashioned fun. Besides dancing to the enchanting music of Bob Chances band. some dashing contests were held. and cider and dough- nuts were served as refreshments ll'.S. Vlere sorry. artie. about your overalls, but accidents do hap- pen l. The council also made a hit at the beginning of the year with their presentation of a dance. which was cleverly handled by the President. Bob Paley. assisted by members of the council. Speak- ing of dances. the Council Rouncen really made the mercury rise in the student body. and went over with a hbang . Dancing under the new lighting system suggested by Mr. lVloore and to the smooth rhytlnn of liob Chance. soothed the souls of all who attended. To change the atmosphere a bit. let's discuss the Christmas parties that entertained the student body under a new arrangement. Instead of having individual room parties. an afternoon was set aside to celebrate the occasion. Following a hwittyu assembly was a basketball game between ilu- Junior and Senior boys lincidentally. l wonder if Tom lfinch has initiated his shoes yetl. The afternoon was drawn to a close with dancing and refreshments. lThanks to John Mackay's fatherl. The council continued its constructive ideas this year of running the bookstore and directing the parking lot. at the meetings. which are generally held on w'ea.ieSaay morning each week. repre- sentatives were chosen from the council to serve for four weeks in either the bookstore or parking lot. During the meetings. activities were dealt with concerning the improvement of our school. These activities and responsibilities were carried out by the council under the direction of their President. Bob Paley. Hy the way. in case anyone is looking for a capable clerk or salesman. the Student Council proudly recommends Jim Cork for the position. ,lim's handling of the doughnut sales at the basket- ball games with the assistance of a few of his friends was a task well done. The only fault we can Hnd is that we ran out of games too soon to suit the council 1 business has decreased. Mr. Moore. faculty advisor for the council. points with pride to the self-supporting system maintained and used as a source for money-making. which proved to be the bookstore and doughnut sales. The bookstore. open to all students for the purchase of books and supplies. featured the sale of candy at noon for an annual income. The doughnut sales. although limited by the length of the basketball season. brought in a welcome sum to the council. Have you seen it? Vivhat a beauty! These were a few of the remarks overheard by a member of the council in reference to the new bulletin board purchased by the Student Council for the school. The board is placed in the lower front corridor and is made of the same wood as the trophy cases to correspond with them and complete the arrange- ment. All the latest udopew and announcements are to be posted here to be observed by the entire student body and faculty. Officers of the Student Council are: President, ...,..,,...,...........

The effects are stupendousl The l l1'nflock staff creates more interest in the school itself than any other group of the widely varied student activities. Composed of journalis- lically inclined students. the staff strives to keep the entire student hody informed and entertained with current news of all school events. As each year rolls hy. though it has heen in existence only two years. the l linI1nclr. with its six pages of three columns each tries to improve. and the staff develops new ideas with the aid of their experienced advisor. Mrs. Yonkman. The Flinlloclr has reached top place on the entertainment parade. hut. as is natural. some- thingu has to he wrong with it. and that hsome- thingu is that the paper isn't published often enough to satisfy the student hody. After reading one issue of the newspaper. their enthusiasm is aroused and they cry for more. People are never satisfied are they? Perhaps the coming generation of East Grand Rapids High School students can adopt a new plan satisfactory to all. That is a goal to work toward anyway. The column entitled l'Elintsparks hy Daisy Gay is always in there pitching with the latest school gossip and social roundahouts. Hliomance Budding or in Full liloomii is the column previously re- ferred to as the heart-flutter column. This column either makes or hreaks a hudding romance. The war leaves its marks on everything. Even the Flintlock has suffered from it. Due to the government freezing all flash hulhs. the paper was unahle to get action pictures of our hoys. However. that is only a minor irritation in time of war and the Flintlock has plenty of news for food. If anybody has anything he wants to sell. huy or rent. take it to the Flinllock.

Ivut in spite ol all tIN- trials and trilrulations. the staflm always seems to put out a good annual. 'IIIIl'I'l' is as mueh fun as there is work involved. though. I think the editor and her assistants have a Iot of fun. writing eopy alvout the seniors and the faculty. Then. there's a lot ol' eutting. pasting. and other writing to do. to say nothing of' all the finaneial and Imusi- ness arrangements that have to IN' made.

Thatis the East Grand Rapids High School hand you have tuned in, coming to you from stations YTDDD or WYLAV. Yes. hesides fulfilling its duty at school, the hand is a radio star. It was rumored that the hand played several times over the network last winter. hut don't let it get around, kids. Since we are getting into the swing of things, nothing really hrings out the spirit and true attitude of a school any hetter than a hand. The natives of Grand Rapids can fully appreciate the fine joh done hy lVlr. Kincheloe in developing our hand. The task of forming a good hand of the many youngsters playing musical instruments is. as you have prohahly already noticed. undertaken hy Mr. liincheloe. With the whole-hearted cooperation of the student hody and faculty. lVlr. Kincheloe is only too ready to add another har to his coat sleeve for victory in the musical world. Under his direction and supervision. the East Grand Rapids High School hand has pushed to first place at full speed. If l recall correctly. the hand set up a schedule a few years ago that they hoped to present in the coming year. Well. this schedule has heen followed pretty closely according to the reports of a few hand members. Their mid-winter concert was really a pip judging from the response of the audience. Mr. Kincheloe fully convinced everyone that it takes more than a few swings of the haton to lead a hand. A special announcement to the student hody: Please reserve the night of April 30th for the Spring festival to he given hy the East High hand in our gymnasium. It is said that this event is to he the highlight of the year. You will not only have the privilege of hearing your own hand. hut a mass hand is to he formed. composed of the hands of Rockford, Godwin, Lee, Wlyoming Park and East High Schools. They are to he directed hy a guest conductor. Instead of a lone, evening per- formance. the affair is to he an all-day session. starting with the choosing of a select hand from the various schools in the morning. following through with rehearsals in the afternoon, and ending with the festival in the evening. I only hope that the entire hand has a few extra 't17 stamps. After marching in those parades the memhers could proh- ahly turn around on a nickel and tell whether it was heads or tails through their worn soles. lRe- ware of the DPA, Mr. Kincheloell lt's ohvious that a foothall or haskethall game is rather dull and quiet without a few hars of music. Thanks to our hand, the games are sup- ported with a sufficient supply of pep and noise. At various times, a portion of the hand furnishes the accompaniment for songs sung in assemhlies. and the newest 'Gstuffn is featured that has been ncooked up hy Mr. Kincheloe or one of the many talented hand members fPerhaps hy lim Smith. Art Prange or Keith Clark, the Harry James, of East Grand Rapidsl. These and other activities have helped the hand fulfill its main purpose. to serve the school on all possible occasions. The hand has truthfully done its share in living up to this ideal. Mr. Kincheloe. the director fjust call him the howling. hand manl. deserves all the appreciation and honor that the school as a whole hestows upon him for his excellent supervision of the hand and other musical groups. Wie are all proud of his showmanship and ahility to round-up a hand of fifty-four 'fsolid swingeroosi' to represent our school. flncidentally. if you feel you have any talent. see Mr. Kincheloe at once.l Front row: llnd l,fn'eh, lfiigeiie llellis, lloh llerry, lloh XYilson, Holi tireenlterg, lioh ltetnlers.

WAR STA' P LEC Uh, I forgot my twenty-five cents for a Wvar Stamp. I'll have to rememher to hring it this after- noon. It seems as if I have to hring money for something every day -feclass dues. lied Cross. War Chest. Anti-Tuherculosis. Viiar Stamps. and Say: mayhe your finances are getting slightly depleted. hut you hetter not stop huying War Stamps. They are the most important purchase of all. I think it's great the way Ifast has its own Vivar Stamp Salesmen now. l rememher to huy stamps a lol more often with someone making an announce- ment every morning. Hut. l'm kind of ignorant about what goes on. All I do is give the stamp chairman my money. and I receive my stamps the next day. where do they get the stamps anyhow Af'- Uh, itls perfectly legal. The chairmen donil print their own stamps or anything like that. illrs. Nelson is in charge of the whole organization. lllrs. Darrah huys the stamps in large lots at the post office. Mrs. Nelson then takes orders from each room chairman as he gives her the money. She. in turn. lvuys the stamps from Mrs. Darrah and gives them to the room chairmen the following day. Complicated. isnit it? Mrs. Nelson keeps records of what each room huys so that when the lime comes to award a flag to the room that has sold the most stamps she will know what room should receive il. Then. too. each room chairman keeps a record of who liuys stamps and how often they huy them. 'llhatis for the Victory Corps. lfvery- one who helongs to the Victory Corps has pledged to huy at least one Vivar Stamp a week. Of course, the chairman is supposed to get after those people who aren't huying stamps at all. and remind them to start huying some. lt's really up to the chairman to arouse the spirit of the room. Tom lfinch was the chairman of the winning room. and you can imagine how' well he could arouse spirit ll L'l huy stamps. hut it doesnit seem as if lill ever get a hond. It seems to take so long to get that little hook filled. and if you're huying the ten-cent denomination. it takes even longerf' lf you rememhered to huy at least one stamp every week. youid have a hond hought in no time. I happen to know that there are quite a few lfast High Students who have hought honds -f some even more than onell None of us have any right to hforgetm to huy stamps. Vihat if some of our lighting men should nforgetv to fight? lt isn't right for us to keep that twenty-five cents for a show or our own pleasure. Une realizes how selfish that would he when he thinks of the hoys out there who will have no pleasure until the war is won. I donit want to rave. hut did you know that hy the Ist of March lfast had sold if5l.f329 wol'lh of Vivar Stamps? Mrs. Nelson said that she ex- pected to sell approximately live or six thousand dollars worth hy June. Then. we're going to huy live or six jeeps with that money. You know. other schools may have sold more stamps. hut they have more pupils. East has done extremely well in its Vilar Stamp sales this year. I think a lot of credit is due to Mrs. Nelson and the War Stamp Chairmen. lt certainly is. hut don't forget tln- pupils who huy the stamps. l certainly hope we can huy twice as many next year. Then. not only will we he proud of lfast. hut we will also he showing our patriotism.

V PIO iii EHS WT N GRAN VALLEY TITLE TEAM HAS OUTSTANDING SEASON UNDER c:oAcH ELLIOTT Une person stands out among all others this year in the winning of the Grand Valley football crown. That person is our own Coach Elliott. Une hardly realizes the hard work that is involved in developing a championship team. This particular problem faced Coach lflliott. However. with the full cooperation of the returning lcttermen. he ironed out the rough spots in the team and turned ont one of the greatest elevens in the history of East Grand llapids High School. The development of that team began in late surnrner when some ninety boys turned out for practice. Coach Llliottis hopes were based on some of the nlainstays of last year's team. Louis Wick- man. liob Cole. lack Korff. Tom Wanty. Don Matheson. ,lohn Mackay. l'aul Ulsen. Hob lioyer. Gene Johnson. Charles Poisson. Bob Stolz. and Art Clements. Besides these players. there was a num- ber of promising nnderclassmen who were sure to be real competition for the older members. A foot- ball team is only as strong as the individual player so Coach Elliott's first real job was to condition the boys. The grass drills at Ramona Field became a regular routine. The exercises included every- thing from push-ups to the duck waddle and gave the boys a great many sore limbs. As colder weather approached. the hoys discarded their shorts. and uniforms were issued. This was a sure sign that the season was under way. Under the direction of Coach Elliott. the team brushed up on its blocking and tackling. which had become rusty during the winter months. The morning chalk-talks are not to be forgotten either. Here, the coach talked over problems and discussed ques- tions with his hoys. Signals and plays were re- hearsed again and again so the team could function as a machine. The team during the fourth week of practice began to show some promising signs.

With l,ouis Wickman elected captain. the team primed itself for the Grand Haven game. liven as the lius left Grand llapids for Grand llaven. the rain clouds were heginning to form. and our team knew that it was not an ideal day for a foothall game. Rain would surely slow up our passing attack. the thing which we counted on most for a decisive victory. However. the team witnessed a good turnout of lfast High students and was determined to give the opposing team a good fight. As predicted. the rain came and continued throughout the entire game. The first quarter of the contest proved to he disastrous as Paul Olsen. outstandingend. was injured and had to he removed from the game. On the spur of the moment.

Another score was made against East making it 211-0 at the final gun. Uur next game was a non-conference tilt with Comstock Park. After our deli-at at the hands of Grand Haven. we were determined it would not happen again. lfarly in the second quarter Wick- man ran 20 yards around end to draw first hlood. The try for the extra point failed. hut Gene john- son made up for this with another score. A pass to lion Matheson in the hnal period resulted in another touchdown for the Pioneers. However. the opposing team was not to he outdone. for they drove to the lfast 2-yard line in the last minutes of play. The East line failed to weaken. and the game ended with the final score I8-0. lCast's favor. The competition in athletics hetween lfast Grand liapids and Rockford has always created a great amount of interest. Smarting under the defeat of the previous year. liockford was set for the annual tilt with East. The contest was the first conference game for lioth teams. and each was determined to give a good account of itself. The fine turnout of East students added to the spirit of the team as it went into the clash. lioth teams drove hard dur- ing the first half. seeking for a weak spot in the f:pponent's forward wall. Line plunges and end runs gained a limited amount of yardage. and hoth teams opened up with their passing attack. lt was at this point in the game that l'iast's center. Tom Wanty. intercepted a Rockford pass and ran 30 yards for lQast's only touchdown. It is quite a feat for a center to make a touch- down. hut we know that Wanty has the ahil'ty to do the unexpected. However. the liams were not to he outdone and with a well-timed pass from Wilkinson to Urhan. they drove to our l2-yard line. After two unsuccessful line hueks. Vfickman, on the alert. recovered a fumhle and saved the day. The final score was lCast 6. llockford 0.

Cornelius also received a berth on the honor roll for keeping ltockford's star. Wilkinson. under con- trol. lloth teams fought hard. and the sportsman- ship was a credit to both schools. The next Saturday we met Wyoming Park on their field. East was at its best and delivered a crushing defeat to the opponent. The final score of 25 to 0 was a hue comeback for the defeat East had suffered the previous season. lfastis toughest rival for the past years has been Urandville. Our learns would rather win a game from them than from practically any other school. for they always have good teams. The boys were keyed up for the Grandville game which was played the following Saturday. The East eleven. spurred on hy the cheering crowd of students. did its best but failed to hit its usual terrific pace which had kept them at the top of the conference. Crand- ville seemed to have the upper hand throughout the game. playing good football. East at one time threatened with a series of short passes but was repulsed. The only score made in the game was an unexpected Crandville pass which caught the Pioneers unaware. This defeat at the hands of Crandville made the boys work harder for the eoming game with Lee. Revenge was dealt out to the Lee Hebels when the Pioneers ran off with an easy victory to the tune of 29-0. The Elliott-coached Pioneers used a strong attack to score twice in each half. East. taking the offensive throughout the game. rang up lfl first downs to Leeis lt. lfarra. with perfect block- ing. clinched the victory with a 56-yard end run. The pioneers showed speed and power in running the Lowell gridders into the ground. 37-7. at Barnard Field. The lilue and Gold eleven regis- tered its Gfth victory of the season. scoring four times in the first half and twice in the third quarter. Eastis final touchdown was made by the center. Joe Pierce. intercepting a Lowell pass on the 40-yard line. The Lowell team. scoring only once in the game. did not seem to be hitting its usual stride. The football team again had things very much it short gain. their own way. when they hurled a hard-running offense against Godwin to down the Wolverines 32-0. East ran up in the neighborhood of I5 hrst downs on speed, power, and deception plays run from the famed MT formation. East got off to a flying start. making a touchdown in the first three minutes of play. Following this attack. lfarra raced around end for the second tally. The extra point was good to make the score l3-0 for East. tlole's bullet passes accounted for two more of the scores. From his own 40-yard line Farra. with fine blocking. again scampered for the fifth and final tally of the contest. The overwhelming defeat dished out to Godwin was a fitting way to climax the l9'1-2 football season. As East completed its schedule. the records showed that it was tied for first place with Crand- ville. This did not please the student body any too much for they knew that East had the better team. This standing was not final. however. for Grandville had one more game to play against Lowell, a worthy opponent. Un the day of the deciding game between Lowell and Grandville all the East football players and many of the student body journeyed to Lowell to root for Lowell. This contest was the thriller of the year for the East boys. for they had all their hopes tied up in that game. During the greater part of the game Crand- ville had a sizable lead until Lowellis big Coe ran 40 yards unmolested into paydirt. This made the score l2-l2 and the championship for East hung in the balance on that extra point. The East High gridders grew tense and very still as the Lowell team prepared for the kick. The point was made! The championship belonged to East Grand Rapids lligh School. In the minds of all the players. Coe was the hero that day. Perhaps the greatest factor outside of Coach Elliott for our winning the crown was one man. The boys all called him HDune. Dune had played on a college football team and taught the players all he knew. He was a definite asset to the team and merited the admiration of all who worked with him.

The meet proved to be an eye opener. with sev- eral amazing times furnished by both teams.

The .Lee squad, des- perately seeking victory, outclassed the Pioneers in both the third and fourth periods. Lee scored 10 points to East's lone free throw in the third frame. Bidwell was high-point man for East with 6 points while Don Formsma kept at the top of the Lee bracket with 10. After their defeat at the hands of Lee, East was set for a fast Godwin team, whom they met the following Friday. The game was very one-sided with East having things pretty much its own way. Godwin was unable to stop Eastis terrific offense and lost the game by a score of 29 to 26. A smooth-working Wyoming Park Viking five showed a speedy attack and accurate passing in knocking off East Grand Rapids, 45-26. Levering, tall Wyoming forward, sparked the attack with three field goals to put East behind, 11-4. East showed signs of catching up to their opponent later in the game only to have the victory snatched from their grasp. Wanty seemed to have the eye for the loop that day, making 9 points for the East five. East kept its high standing in the conference race by scoring an easy 50 to 19 triumph over Lowell. The Pioneers had easy-going making the half-time score, 19-9. East built up a successful margin by the third canto to put the game in the bag. East's superior height was the main factor which led to an overwhelming victory, for the Lowell quintet was unable to retrieve the ball. Toward the latter part of the contest, Coach Elliott gave his first string team a rest, while the reserves managed to bring up 12 tallies against the enemy. The following Friday, the tall East Grand Rap- ids team downed the fighting Grandville squad, 35 to 27, for the second time in the conference race. The game was a thrilling one with the lead changing back and forth throughout the struggle. East fought hard in the game and earned a lead that was too much of a margin for the Grandville five to overcome. Grandville's clever floor play wasn't enough to offset the strong defense set up by the Blue and Gold. Prange and Wanty tied for high honors with 13 each for East. A last-half rally which netted the Rockford Rams 20 points decided the issue in a Grand Valley conference tussle between the two schools with Rockford on the long end of the 35-32 count. The Rockford victory avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of East, and forced the East team to drop down one place in the standings. Both teams played hot ball during the second half, causing a tie with only two minutes left to go. Rockford quickly put the game on ice by sinking tw-o, lightning dog-shots. Wall took scoring honors with 13, while his teammate Wanty had 12 for East. The East Cagers avenged a mid-season defeat by thundering over the Lee Rebels, 37 to 13, on the East boards. East showed a fast-breaking offense and a strong defense in peppering away at the basket to trounce the Rebels severely. East hit a mad pace in each of the four quarters, leading 17-4 at half-time. Art Prange showed a fine dis- play of offensive power by gaining six field goals for East. Defeating Godwin for the second time, 31 to 17, East met the Lowell five in the East gym. The 42-27 victory over a small but aggressive .Lowell quintet ended their Grand Valley conference cam- paign for another season. East players were sure of themselves, entering the last stanza with a margin of 14 points. Korff and Prange, outstand- ing East men, tied for high-point honors. East was upset by Lee in the Regionals.

The ahove hoys have had experience and practice which will he of consider- ahle advantage to them this coming season.

The hoys. who undouhtedly will play this year. have played together for three years now. and they will he a tough team to conquer. Jack Korfl' and Henry Staples are veterans at the catching position. as is Jim Dykwell at third hase: while Louis Vfickman prohahly will retain his herth at shortstop. Jim wihyte has proved an asset to the team in the past and surely will continue to do so in the future at his hrst hase post.

The lfast nine throughout the season met up with strong opponents who. at times. showed greater playing ahility. However. each game in which liast participated proved to he a good tight.

Today at East Grand Rapids High School. the students can par- ticipate in numerous activities. These sports are designed to liuild stronger lrodies and promote hetter sportsmanship within the school. Mr. Waterman has devoted a great deal of time in preparing this program and has done a splendid jolt. Another important part of the physical Fitness program is the commando course. ln many ways it is similar to the ones in use hy the Army and Navy. This course includes almost everything from scaling a tw elye-foot wall to climhing a thirty-foot rope. Time is sometimes allowed in the gym classes to play either lvaskethall or volley- lvall. The weekly gym exercises continued until the end of lfehruary of l9-13 when a physical examination was given to every hoy. The lfast Grand Rapids School Board has long realized the necessity for a well-halanced intra- mural program. and they are giving Mr. Waterman full support. as one can readily see hy the amount BUVVLINII M UHALS of new equipment which has heen purchased for intra-murals. The art of self-defense is one which every lioy should master. Coach Waterman is giving the lvoys an opportunity to lwox each Wednesday night after school under the ahle coaching of Wes Hamey. a former hoxing champion. This fall a luasketluall league was formed within the school. and keen competition resulted hetween the teams. Games were played every Thursday night right up to the end of the regular hasketlmall season. The teams played long and hard games. and perhaps the toughest were fought lnetween the juniors and the seniors. l.ate in the fall lNlr. Kincheloe announced that there would he howling again this year. A large numlrer of the student hody turned out to partici- pate in this sport. The Holy Terrorsn. Alley Cats . and the Nhlouldy Moronsu were among the teams which hegan the race for the championship. As it later turned out the Alley Cats liecame the winners with a consideralrle lead over the rest of the squads. li0'Xl'NlANUUS EM gwfiy?

Mary Viehh was eleeted president of the assoeiation. lfrnestine liigelow was eleeted viee-president. and Monnie llorough. seeretary and treasurer. After the eleetion ol' the major ollieers the girls were tllen eleeted for the positions of sport mana- gers. ln eharge ol' the volleyhall this year was Marion Keeler. liadminton was under the ahle supervision ol' lflsa Gygax. and Rosemary ltoherts was in eharge ol' hoekey. Genevieve Sehulte was in eharge ol' haskethall. and Naney Thompson man- aged the tennis teams. lflizaheth Moore heeame the new manager ol' arehery while Naney liieh was the manager of all the minor sports sueh as ping pong. howling. swimming. skating. and riding. After the eleetions. the fun really hegan. The hoard planned a Sadie Hawkins roller skating party at the Penthouse. and every girl hrought a lvoy. This party was sueh a hig sueeess that an- other ol' this type was planned for the spring months. The girls turned out for the C.A.A. with rnueh enthusiasm this year. The ninth grade was espe- eially energetie, sinee this was the first vear they were eligilrle for memhership. and they were all more than eager to win their first award numeral. 'lihe seeond year award is a small EN award: 1. A. X. the third year a girl may win a large lf award: and the fourth years is granted the most desired award of them all - - a loeket. lt is far from simple work for a girl to get an award. Many people think it is mueh easier than it really is. A girl working for an award must have. at the end of the year. eredit for three learn sports. two supervised individual sports. and leadership work: or she must have three learn sports. two unsupervised individuals. one super- vised individual. and leadership. The team sports from whieh the girls may ehoose are hasehall. lrasketlwall. hoekey. and volleyhall. liadminton. tennis. arehery. ping-pong. and howling are the supervised individual sports. The unsupervised sports inelude skating. hieyeling. swimming. riding and so on. l or a little variety this year the girls had a spread. This feast was held in the sehool eafe- teria where the girls stood around expeetantly while the tahles were lveing prepared. Vlvhen given the signal to he seated. they praetieally dived for their plaees. Une would think that they had never seen food lwefore. At a time like this dieting was the farthest thought from every girl's mind. After the meal everyone went over to the gym. ehanged into her gym elothes. and tried as hest she eould to play a game of haskethall. The game that they played that night. however, was very slow eom- pared to the games they usually played. lltliililft lincler the supervision ol' the girls' eoaeh. Nliss Stapert. the hoekey enthusiasts ehose four team eaptains. who in turn ehose teams. The eaptains were 'llareia Ames. lfrnestine liigelow. l'at llannagan. ancl Elaine illaekay. ilihese teams were to play one another in a twelve game tourna- ment. the losing teams having to furnish patltlle pops for the teams that were vietorious.

When the time eame for the volleylrall season to roll arounrl. the girls were all more than anxious to get into the game. This year's turn-out was a lvig sueeess. It was cleeitlecl that insteacl ol' ehoos- ing permanent teams. the girls w oulcl ehoose new eaptains ancl teams eaeh night that they plavetl.

The smashing serves ol' 'llary' Vliehlw anti Nlonnie liorough are nothing to he sneezerl at. not to mention the lightning quiek returns of Nant-y Post anti liarlrara Allen. Often cluring one ol' these snappy games there is time out for an argument with the referee on the h'injustiee ol' a tleeision. lint the argument soon encls in laughter at one ol' Pat Gauthierls witty remarks.

Almost as soon as the lirst rohin is seen. the arehers may he seen trying out their skill on the target. At the very lueginning of the season. when the girls are heeoming aequainteci again with their trusty hows and arrows. there is many a elean miss ol' the entire target. lt is not an uneommon sight to see the girls lmnting in the grass anrl hushes for their fallen arrows. lfven after they are founcl there is time out for a little rlisputing as to whieh arrow lmelongs to whom.

I3 K ETB LL Perhaps the only plausible reason for the girls' cheerfulness upon returning from Christmas vaca- tion this year was the fact that the basketball sea- son had begun. This snappy. and often rowdy game. draws the biggest crowds of all the games played by the girls. It ranks first in just about every girl's hit. parade of sports. The girls. this year. did not participate in games with girls from other schools. but they did have some pretty stiff competition just among them- selves. Under Nliss Staperfs supervision. the girls played basketball every Thursday night. They chose new captains and teams each night. Using this method each girl was given an opportunity to be a team captain and to try her skill at playing the positions of guard. center and forward. She was even given a chance to referee. This method proved to be very popular with the girls. Girls' basketball is one of the noisiest games they play. On Thursday nights the sounds that could be heard coming from the girls' gym were those of whistles. squealing. screaming. arguing. and laughing: and anyone who enjoyed peace and quiet stayed away from the gym on Thursday nights. The oustanding all-round basketball player of the year was lilary Webb. Her beautifully executed long-shots could put any boyis playing to shame. and her tricky passes were just as sensational. -Xnother Junior who has come out regularly for basketball and who has done a grand job of play- ing is Pat Gauthier. She and Nancy Vlhite are a two-some that is hard to beat. Those three sopho- mores Genevieve Schulte. Monnie Borough. and Nancy Post were an asset to any team on which they played. even though Monnie was inclined to take steps with the hall quite frequently. Polly Page and Ernestine Bigelow were two Freshmen who got around with great agility on the gym ltoor, and everyone is looking forward to their coming out again next. season. liig things are ex- pected of these girls. Nancy Thompson. Elizabeth Moore. Pat Cheney. Mary Uolbeare. Doris Hys- kamp. Sally Marks. Rosemary Roberts. Marilyn lirink. llilaine Mackay. iVlarcia Ames. Nancy liich. Barbara Allen. ,loan Chamberlin. and Caroline Allen were also among the girls who came out regularly for basketball this year. These regulars are the ones who deserve the credit for its being such a success this season. Girls' basketball is quite dillerent from that basketball which is played by the boys. It is a much slower game because the rules are made to make it so. The girls. however. put such a lot of zest and speed into their games that it is quite difficult to tell just which is the slower. Anyone yy ho has watched the East Girls play will tell you that there is a great deal ol' room for debate on the subject.

Shouts could he heard coming front the soccer field. and passers-hy knew that the Junior Girls' Athletic Association of East High had hegun its second year of sports. Under the leadership of Commander-in-tihief Stapert. the girls are going strong again this year. There are five home rooms participating in the GAA. They are the seven A's. seven lfs. eight A's. eight lfs, and the eight Us. The girls meet once a week on Mondays. ln order to receive her letter. a girl must win live hundred and twenty-tive points the first year. or one thousand and fifty points the second year. Girls who want to receive credit must participate in individual sports as well as team sports. A girl will receive fifty points on the completion of an individual sport. However. she must enter the tournament in order to receive credit. Leadership gives one hundred points. and she must have it for credit. also. A girls on a team. or in an individual sport will receive fifteen points if her home room. or she. wins first place in a sport. For second place. ten points are awarded. and for third place. tive points. The home room which wins the highest ntnnher of points will receive an award at the end of the school term. The officers of the Junior High CAA. were nominated hy a committee. and elected hy the .lunior High girls. They are: lean Meengs. presi- dent, Carol llattjes, activities managerg Priscilla Goodspeed. secretary and treasurer: and llarhara lleukema. sales manager. The sport managers on the hoard are Nlarilyn Gingrich. soccer: Harhara Post. haskethall: Harriet Herz. howling: Nancy Johnstone. volleyhallg Marilyn Squires. tennis: and Betty Rankin. minor sports. The homeroom representatives are: Phyllis Vos. eight A'sg Sally Walker. eight li'sg and ,lean La Claire. eight Us. As most of the ,lunior High girls like to roller skate. the Junior GAA. hoard decided to give several skating parties at the Ramona Gardens, These turned out to he a great success. In spite of lame hacks and sore feet. they were fun. They also gave us a means of putting money into the treasury for awards. The Junior CAA. gave a spread in honor of the girls front Breton Downs School. This was given for pleasure. and tht- girls enjoyed it very tnuch. The team sports offered hy the ,lunior GAA. are soccer. haskethall. volleyhall. and hasehall. ln order to receive credit for these sports. a girl tnust he present six times. She must he present ten times for haskethall. however. There are many individual sports offered. such as: tennis. howling. swimming. horsehack riding. hadminton. archery. hiking. ping-pong. hicycling. sailing. etc. These sports each have their own individual requirements. and are used for credits. There has heen much rivalry hetween lfast and lireton Downs this past year. We are sad to relate that we won only a single game. We sincerely hope to do hetter next year. TRACK As soon as warm weather was here. a lot of seventh and eighth grade girls started coming out for track. They all tried the high jump. the broad jump. the shot put. and hurdles to get in practice for the track meet. Many girls spent whole gym periods testing their speed and skill against their friends. Others had races of sprinting around the track. Track is a very popular sport in Junior G.A.A. and is always well attended. Jean Van Steenberg. Carol Vinkemulder. Barbara Post. Caro- lyn Wade. Geraldine Gilmore. Phyllis Vos. Judy Clark, Jean Meengs. Marilyn Squires. Louise Fox. Mary Lou Kennedy were especially enthusiastic about track events. SOCCER Soon after the opening of school in September. the Junior G.A.A. soccer season started. Every Monday. the several home room teams played each other. each one eager for the championship. The games were played either on the football field. or on the larger held at Ramona. The seventh graders found that they liked this sport. and manv turned out to play. The keen rivalry made the scores very close in most of the games. At the end of the season. the 8Cis were found to have won the most games. Among those who received credit for a letter in soccer are: 7A's: Marilyn Gingrich. Geraldine Gilmore. Barbara Bliss. Caro- lyn Fritz. Judy Clark. Rosanna Fox. Priscilla Good- speed. and Beverly Smith. 7B's: Ellen Rittcnger. Pat Vllhiteside. Ann Jarvis. Pat Vlvilcox. Nancy Parrott. Nancy Vahey. Bonnie Sprite. Mary Jean Vllilson. Betty Rankin.

Joan Martini. and Jean Meengs. BOWLING During the basketball season. bowling also was in full swing, with girls coming out every Thurs- day to try their luck at the alleys in the cafe- teria. The schoolis duck pins had been set up. and the usual eating place had been transformed into regular alleys. Because so many took part. a great number of high scores were piled up. It was fun to watch oneis skill increase. as one's score did too. The girls who came out regularly for bowling are: Carol Vinkemulder. Phyllis Vos, Jean Meengs. Nancy Bylan. Harriet Herz. Marjory Olds. Jane Steketee. Mary Lou Kennedy. Joan Martini. Judy Clark. Barbara Beukema. Pat Whiteside. Barbara Hines. Joan Rankin. Geraldine Gilmore. Carolyn Fritz. Nancy Johnstone.
