G . H . S . HI-I.IF E 1 928 FROSH-SOPH PARTY The high school gymnasium with its bright red and green decorations in true holiday spirit presented a festive appearance to the 150 Freshmen and Sophomore and (we won’t say who else) who assembled there for the annual lower class party. The undergrads danced around gaily to the strains of an orchestra composed of “Gwen” Green, 'Pom Eurich, Helmer Petersen and Eldon Hansen. Marie Youngs entertained with a clog dance and Tom Eurich with a banjo solo. A special feature of the evening was an original song by Robert Choate, Allan McBride, Franklin Parsons, Albert Johnson and Charles Curdy, accompanied by Tom Eurich on the banjo. After ice cream and wafers were served, the party came to a close and one more high school affair was voted a big success. “One Present” ALL HIGH SCHOOL PARTY October 1st was the date of our football victory over Lakeview and our first high school party. We certainly started our parties with ever so much fun, and school spirit was in everyone’s heart. The most interesting feature of the evening began about nine-thirty when some of our football stars appeared on the floor in their dress suits and dancing shoes. They declared it was easier to nlay football than dance. They must have obtained some grit from football. We hope our school parties to come and all those that future classes put on will be as great a success as this one of October 1st. Mabel Petersen '28. PEP MEETINGS The pep meetings of this year have far excelled those of last year. The talks were organized and everyone had something different to say. Pete Nelson became the talk of the town after we heard of his tackling that interurban. The pep meetings inspired the students, and good crowds witnessed our many victorious games. The cheers led by the yell masters after the meetings gave us the old PEP and we were eager to sec the boys in action. Here's to more and better pep meet- JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 'fhe annual Junior-Senior Prom turned out to be one of the most successful parties held in years. The gym was beautifully decorated with branches of maple and pine with their red, yellow, and green foliage. Huge numerals representing the two classes were hung upon the wall in full view. Higbec’s Belding orchestra furnished the music for the young couples to glide about upon the waxed floor. In an adjoining room were tables where the non-dancers were seated, entertaining themselves with card games, football and baseball games as well as miniature billiards and carroms. Due to the success of the football team in the afternoon, all were in high spirits and enjoying themselves to the utmost. A very entertaining program was given at the intermission. Lawrence Brown, an alumnus, sang Berlin’s popular ballad “Russian Lullaby”; Thomas Metzger and Stewart Vanderpool gave a clever sketch of jokes and what-nots; Florence Swartzloff pleased everybody with a vocal selection, “In a Gondola”; and Stewart Vanderpool closed with a novelty football song, “Take Me Out To 'Fhe Ball Game.” A grand march, led bv the two class presidents, Helen Choate and Lemmie Weeks, ended at the refreshment table where all received home-made fried cakes and cider. The evening was voted a huge success by all present. Stewart Vanderpool ’29. “PIG-SKIN PARTIES” As time goes on it becomes necessary to place the football activities in the society column. Why not! The boys are growing up now and are entering society—they become especially popular when it is time to dance. Their debut was made at a dinner dance at the Country Club, given in their honor by Captain Tom. Better yet, the whole school was invited to attend the dance. We don’t need to go into detail about the good time because every person was there and all thank Tom. At the end of the season Roy Ranney took the squad to the Michigan-Navy game at Ann Arbor—that surely was a great treat. Mr. EL W. Ranney entertained the boys at the Peninsular Club in Grand Ranids in honor of Maurie Christensen and after a show there was a jolly ride home. And that’s not all—they took in a country feed at Frank Steven’s home and for once at least they could eat no more. Thus ended the football season. A Football Fanatic. [87]
