'We , We Saw. We Z N Four short years ago, 128 Freshmen romped through the doors of Fremont High School, eager to embark on the "sea of learning." Under the direction of Miss Orr, Miss Bowman, Mr. Juska, and Mr. Provines, this young crew organ- ized as a class and elected their president, Bob Stocking, vice-president, Warren Johnson, and sec- retary-treasurer, lla McGowen. In order to insure a good start on the Student Council, the class also elected Mary Jo Gilliland, Carol Murphy, Ron Stock- ing, and Don Taylor to represent them in affairs of student government. The Freshmen made a "big splash" in the field of forensics, with Sally Wanen- macher, Pat Wilson and Lavonne Wolters as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners respectively in the declamation division of the local contest. Equally determined not to be outdone socially, the class sponsored two parties, the first was a game fest in the gym followed by the usual refreshments. The second took the form of a rollicking skating party at Hess Lake. The fall of '49 found 117 of us ready to begin the second lap of our eventful iourney. The class lost no time in naming Chuck Witte- veen, president, Sally Wanenmacher, vice-president, Maynard DeKryger, secretary, and Arnie Rottman, treasurer, while Warren Johnson, ,Phil Fry, Bette Messinger, and Jim Schuiteman comprised our con- tribution to the Student Council. Moreover, one of our members, Bob Stocking, held the office of treasurer of the Council, to which position he had been elected by the entire student body. Our advisers were Miss Bender, Miss Springborg, Mr. Provines, and Mr. Rapson. This year several of our male members came into the limelight in the field of athletics. Bob Stocking, Warren Johnson, and Don White made the first team in football, while Arnie Rottman gained a berth on the varsity basketball squad. Other class members took part in orchestra, band, choir, and various extra-curricular activities. Our class also maintained our hold on the field of forensics with Mary .lo Gilliland taking first place in the declama- tion division of the local contest and continuing on to place first in the District Speech Contest at Hart. The vear ended with the Sophomores serving at the Junior-Senior Banquet and another skating party, this time at Shelby. Our group again disbanded in the spring only to return the following fall and be enrolled under the title of Juniors. The class elected Phil Fry, Maynard DeKryger, Lavonne Wolters, and Arnie Rottman to the offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Warren Johnson, Mary Jo Gilliland, Don Taylor, and Arnold Dougan were chosen to represent the class in the Student Council, while three of our members were elected to Council 24 offices. These were Bob Stocking, vice-president, Mary Smalligan, secretary, and Chuck Witteveen, treasurer. This year our members with a dramatic turn were given a chance to demonstrate their talents. This demonstration took the form of the class play, "Home Sweet Homicide." Also this year two newcomers copped honors in the field of speech. These were Bette Messinger an.d Betty Wright who won 2nd and 3rd place respectively for their orations. Pat Wilson, a veteran of previous contests, placed first in the oratorical contest, while Mary .lo Gilliland again won honors in the field of dramatic declamations. ln the spring, the Juniors were faced with the annual task of creating a banquet for the Seniors. With a helping hand from our advisers, Miss Elm- quest, Miss Sayles, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Durkee, we decided on the theme, "life of a Senior," and presented the affair with great success. Finally in the fall of 1951 came the year we had all looked forward to: the year when we should be enrolled as Seniors. To lead us in this last eventful year, the class elected Maynard DeKryger, president, Chuck Witteveen, vice-president, Sally Wanenmacher, secretary, Kenneth Frens, treasurer, and Burton Wolters, assistant treasurer. Mary Jo Gilliland, Barbara Wechsler, Bob Grant, and Ron Stocking were chosen to represent the Seniors on the Student Council. The presidency of this year's council was entrusted to Bob Stocking while Phil Fry took over as vice-president. Betty Messinger, Lavonne Wolters, Chuck Witteveen, Warren John- son, and Jim Robertson were appointed to comprise the president's cabinet. Our advisers remained the same as during our Junior year with the exception of Miss Van Horn who replaced Miss Sayles. This year brought more Seniors into prominence in the field of sports. Everyone will remember Arnie Rottman for his outstanding performances in basket- ball, while Warren Johnson, Bob Stocking, and Phil Fry deserve recognition for their prowess on the gridiron. As we go to press, events are still in the future. The Seniors are still looking forward to the Senior Play, "Cheaper By The Dozen," the Junior-Senior Banquet, the Honor Banquet, the trip to Lansing, and last but far from least, their skip trip to Chica- go. Soon after these events will come the Bacca- laureate Service and finally Commencement, termin- ating our years at Fremont High School. For many of us the Commencement exercises will mark the end of our formal schooling. For others, it will be merely a take-off to higher education. But no matter what the future holds for the 1952 grad- uates, we will always carry with us the pleasant memories of our years at Fremont High School.
