Greenville High School - Hi Life Yearbook (Greenville, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1935 volume:

FORWARD After a lapse of one year publication of the Ki-Life has been resumed. Our budget limited, we have tried to write a year-book of which our fellow students can be proud and which in later years will bring back to them memories and associations of carefree years. In a book of this size no attempt can be made to include everything that has happened during the school year. The staff does hope it will recall glimpses of friends; hours spent in study; moments with the one and only; the thrill of a spectacular play. Hay the 1935 Hi-Life be as well received as have been its predecessors. ' n h ci « To Vern E. Mabie who, coming here as principal and history Instructor In the fall of 1933, has In two short years won the respect and friendship of the student body and who has given much time and practical advice to the seniors of 1935, we In all sincerity dedicate this Hi-Life.

The origin and wherefore of this being; But Plato, —Bacon, —Kegel, —disagree, With each on other's metaphysics seeing. I meant to probe the secrets of the all; Of spheres of spheres composed and each within A larger, finite whole, and each by lav— But now this fine conception falls in din. Of moji, I felt, the verity's not hid; Han's study of mankind rich fruit has borne, Of ignorance of self the human's rid, But now I've looked about me I'm forlorn. Elusive Truth is not found as I thought— And yet, by search alone is mankind taught. H R H S JS A. F. Allinder, B. A. Hillsdale College----Coach, Social Science Victor C. Beal, B. S.

The first year French Course Is mainly a study of the fundamentals of the French language and life. During the second year several French novels are translated. Even though Latin is a dead language, Latin students will agree that the language seems very much alive after studying it for two years under Miss Lau. COMMERCIAL The Commercial Dept, is noisy with typewriters, mimeographs, and the filing of records, while minds trying to concentrate collect every word of dictation hurled at shorthand students in the next room. Mimeograph stencils for play programs, music festivals, and the weekly Microscope are typed by advanced students. The entire Annual was also typed in the Commercial Department. The Commercial Law course is offered again this year with those inclined to understand the intricacies of business diligently studying typical cases. Business Arithmetic stresses percentage and interest along with useful business short-cuts. SOCIAL SCIENCES Haven't you ever wondered why we do certain things, or why some things seem so Important to our welfare? Sociology, which treats of group life, helps us to understand this. Economics, which studies problems created by man, helps one understand the present state of economic affairs. Civics is a comprehensive study of the how'3 and why's of our government. With ouch a background we hope to realize our duties as citizens of this complex world. HOME ECONOMICS Frightened Freshies are soon at ease in Miss Edmond's clothing classes. Busily humming away on the 1915 Singers, they turn out beautiful garments that make the other girls envious. The savory odors that drift from the lower halls can be traced to the cafeteria where Miss Edmonds superintends the sometimes hopeless efforts of her students. SPEECH The Beginning Speech class has done some excellent work in Parliamentary Law this year. They have organized a court with a judge and Jury and have learned court procedure. Besides they have studied the art of speaking, end almost any day a student could be found in the library preparing a speech. The Advanced Speech Class, which studies acting, has been writing synopses of plays.- H T 1 J.LL f l 11 M i 55 MANUAL TRAINING ' Tl e shop from which many attractive pieces of furniture are turned out, Is run in a vary systematic manner. Each boy has a clean-up Job to do et the close of class for which he is resoon-sible. Among the articles turned out are end-tables, magazine-baskets, cedar-chests, and boats. Auto ?Techanlcs furnishes, a splendid course for anyone with mechanical ability. A text-book, an auto-parts display, and actual work with engines give much practical ability. The Mechanical Drawing Dept has been greatly enlarged so that it now can accomodate t,,renty-five students. MATHEMATICS There is as much beauty in pure mathematics as in music or art for him who seeks it humbly. Few ' ill take the trouble to search; yet every student realizes its value in the activities of life end as an aid to logical thin lng. ART ’Vhen one wishes to relax and enjoy the more beautiful things in life, he need only step into the art room. There he will find miniature rooms, clay models, and modernistic drawings. e can thank Miss Miller for the fine work she has ' ‘one in developing the artistic ability in the students under her. ENGLISH English is one subject taught in High School with which every student is familiar. The first two year are spent in learning to speak and to write the king's English . The last two are devoted to English and American literature. HISTORY A trend moving from past to present can only be accurately projected into the future by correct and thoughtful interoreta-tion of history. The courses in Euronean and U. S. history should aid in this interpretation. CHEMISTRY PHYSICS These sciences are now so intimately related that knowledge of one is at least partial knowledge of the other. In both courses theory and lab are combined. Chemistry treats of the elements and their laws of behavior a .nd combination. Physics treats of the properties of natter r.nd energy. LIBRARY Besides being a rendezvous for Young Love this noble institution shelters such assorted reading matter as The Detroit News and your favorite novel; also, such dust-collcctors as Herbert Spencers Synth-tic Philosophy and Goethe's Faust . HT -I.TFF BIOLOGY It is the idea of some students that this course is slightly buggy . However, after a year's coaching under Mr. Beal, the bugs, as well as plant life, have become very fascinating. Every spring this class looks forward to numerous field trips which make the course more vivid. Insect collections made by each student are prized very highly. This is one subject that is useful as well as entertaining. OCCUPATIONS This is a comparatively new course in high school, and it has proved itself invaluable. The class hac surveyed the town this year to determine various occupations of Greenville residents. Numerous occupations are studied in order to determine the one for which each particular student is best fitted. AGRICULTURE Agriculture is taught in Greenville under the Smith-Hughes Law. This act requires participation by the Federal government. State government, and the local school in the financing of the agricultural work. Vocational agriculture consists of studying, and ca.rrying out projects such as dairying, poultry, sheep-raising, and po-ta„to-growing. The clans also pruned orchards,. grafted trees and planned gardens. The study of the geogre.phicai structure of the soil should help the boys to be better farmers. Mr. Beal hac directed this phase of school work. .HI- LI.Fi: '■ 1 H'n CLASS OF '35 Greenville High School, now we leave you, Leave your grounds and buildings fine, Making room for those who follow In a never-ending line.

As we entered this institution four years aero we were looking for a good time and failed to take rdvantage of many things which now seem worthwhile. However, the first year ”'e elected Arnold Olsen, President; Tom Pilkinton, Vice-president; Maxine Sharpe, Secretary; and Don -Johnson, Treasurer. We very seriously put on a class assembly demonstrating Christmas customs in sundry lands and featuring Santa Claus. The assembly took second place. The Freshman-Sophomore p:.rty in our second year was the most euccesful party of the season, it actually made money. Arnold Wood -;as President, Joscchine Svendsen Viet-president, Mary Ellen Christensen Secretary and Clella Conger Treasurer. Mr. Beal, Miss Straight, and Mr. Dibble weri our advisors tht. first tv;o y ars. Our Junior officers werc Howard Sharpe, President; Donald Johnson, Vice-president; Julia Waterman, Secretary; and Phyllis Byrne, Treasurer. Mr. Beal and Miss Lau wfcre advisors. We were supreme in interclass basketball. This year our officers arc Tom Filkinton, President; Em 1 Hahncnberg, Vice-president; Shirlty Slanker, Secretary; and Ruth Munson, Treasurer. Especially are we indebted to our senior class advisors, Mr. Alllnder and Hiss Lau, for the splendid way they have worked and supported every project sponsored by the class of '35. Though wo haven't been especially spectacular ”re believe that we have entered into the life of the school as able citizens and that w. have had successful high school careers. It Is our hope that wc. have left behind us pleasant memories with those who are to step into our places and rule for a short year. May they profit by our mistakes and uphold the traditions cf Greenville High School as v,e have tried to do. ■« r,H'n 55 JUNIOR CLASS In the fall term of 1932 we, a wild bunch of Imps, plied Into the school, blissfully unaware of all that confronted us. With no more destination than a tumble weed and no more memory than a mirror, we started gallivanting through Latin, Algebra, and kindred subjects. Initiating time came, woe to us, for that w s way back in the dark ages when such terroristic penalties as peanut-rolling were imposed on impious Freshmen. Finally, we were herded, into the balcony and had our elections. We elected Merle Eichelberg president, Katherine Tuttle vice-president, Ruth Clement secretary and Jack Christensen treasurer. Miss Monroe and Mr. Allinder stood by as class advisors. Our Freshman assembly was a success. The first part was a Florist Shop and the second part was a regular deluge of sailors. Then we migrated to the Sophomore stamping grounds-and were duly recognized. We were quite ’ subdued, so subdued that we didn't do much except to elect our class officers: president, Mary Andersen; vice-president, Howard Olsen; secretary, Aferle David; and treasurer, Sue Bower. Mr. Dibble and Mr. Beal were our class advisors. Now that we are Juniors we can afford to smile indulgently on the antics of lower-classmen. Chris Hansen is president, Sylvia Cowles is vice-president, Jack Christensen is secretary and Katherine Tuttle is treasurer. This year Miss Root and Mr. Garter have ably guided us. We cooperated with the Seniors h putting on the Junior-Senior Prom which was an outstanding social event of the year.

Although some of us are half-year students and in reality are half Junior and half Sophomores. as Freshmen, we had for our class officers L.a. Hansen, President; Art Knapp, Vice-President; Virginia Ymlker, Secretary; Catherine Crowley, Treasurer. This year our officers are Art Knapp, President; Jerome Andersen, Vice-President; Dorothy Kraft, Secretary Louise Kennedy, Treasurer. Last year our advisors were Miss Petersen, Mr. Roth, and Mr. Houck. This year they are Mr. Dibble and Miss Petersen. Those teachers have safely piloted us through our infancy in High School and wo are very grateful to them. When we had our first class meeting wo decided that green and whito should be the colors of '37. While we were Freshmen we combined with the Sophomores in the annual Frosh-Soph party. It was a great success, the decorations making the old auditorium look like a modern night-club with tables arrangod around the outside of the dance floor. Mel Anderson supplied the music, and it is said wu had one of the best orchestras ov r heard here up to that time. Our dues w re fifty cents last year but this year they wore lowered to thirty-five cents. Our Treasurer’s books show $19.71 at the present time. Last fall when turned over to the now Treasurer they showed a balance of 9.00. In Interclass Basketball we have made quite a showing, finishing in second place because of the old axiom quuntity over quality. We hope to continue noxt year with our good record and to do honor to G.H.S. HI-LIFE to ,v ST AUAj sopfoeobe cuss 0?

Pi H h � FOOTBALL The first day of school, at Head-coach Alllnder's call, 45 football aspirants responded. It was a record-breaking turn out for G. H. S. Although the nine returning lettermen '-'ere light the future season looked very bright. Coach Allinder had charge of the line and Coach Reynolds, the backfield. Co-captains Howard Sharpe and Kenneth Burns led the black-and-whlte-clad warriors very successfully throughout the season. One thing that made the season a bigger success was the new Athletic Field which enabled the squad to get in longer practices and which stimulated interest in the students. The team was especially lucky in having no serious injuries, although there were a few minor ones. As a whole, Greenville had the most successful season in years. With less than three weeks of Dractice behind them the Greenville gridders gained confidence by winning the fray with Fremont 14-0. Hermie Bond's passing featured the game and gave new hope for the future. Alma and Greenville were more evenly matched. G.H.S. was out to revenge the hard-luck contest it had lost the previous year. The two teams battled to a scoreless finish. The thirteen-point Jinx that has hovered over Greenville, ever since they have played East Grand Raolds held true. East won a very hard fought contest 13-0. Next Came the old rival Belding, and Greenville breathed through to a 14-0 win. Greenville emerged from the dust with a 20-2 victory over the green Mt. Pleasant team. Playing to the largest crowd of the season the team enjoyed a field day at St. Johns' expense with practically every member of the squad seeing action. The final score was '32-7. The Big Rapids Cardinals, conference champs in ’33, offered the opposition for the most disastrous game of the season. Coaches Allinder and Reynolds had been pointinjr for this game all year; speed and intricate plays were expected to co far towards victory. Water and mud and snow stopped the offense while the Six-bee chamrions of '34 piled up 25 points. The last srame of the year with Ionia proved to be the high point of the season. After a scoreless first half Greenville took advantage of an Ionia fumble to push over the only touchdown of the game. The eleven men 'ho started played throughout the contest. By winning, Greenville finished second in the Conference . On the All-conference honorary sauad Bond aig placed, on the first team, Gould and. Burgess on the second team, and Guinnup, Byrne, and Hahnenburg received honorable mention. Byrne and Guinnup wer- elected co-captains for the 1935 season. Lettermen this year were Captains K. Burns and H. Sharpe, G. Bond, A. Wood E. Hahnenburg, J. Story, L. Burgess, R. Christensen, F. Guinnup, R. Byrne, L. Ranney, H. Kingsbury, A. Knapn, A. Ineraham, If. Kraas, 0, Mortensen, F.

A group of seven lettermen returned and formed a squad which won seven out of its first eight games. These lettermen were Captain Bona, R. Christensen, Arnold and Donald Olsen, K. Burns, A. Wood, and L. Burgess. Capable sub- stitutes were found in J. Story, G. Gould, T. Pilkinton, F. Guinnup, B. Baumgarden, and E. Reynolds. As customary, Rockford was the first opponent and was quickly subdued, but by a small score. Fremont and Lowell then fell before our fast working quintet. But the next opponent, Alma, proved to be too tall and strong and gave Greenville its only defeat of the first semester. Belaing, Ionia, and Mt. Pleasant were good opponents but not quite good enough. The last game for this group of regulars was with Big Rapids. This game was full of excitement, and close plays. Greenville finally tossed a basket during the closing seconds of play to win by the slim margin of one point. Bond, Burns, Christensen, Gould, and Pilkinton were graduated at mid-year and a new team had to be developed. Although there was strong competition in the remaining games this squad, composed of Story, Baumgarden, Burgess, the two Olsens, Guinnup, and Reynolds, split the la3t six games and closed the season with a total of ten victories out of fourteen games. Greenville finished second in the Six-Bee Conference. Greenville entered the Regional Tournament at Grand Rapids and quickly eliminated Fremont and Ionia. In both games, however Greenville had to use her full strength. In the finals Grand Haven, an old tournament rival, was a powerful opponent and burled Greenville under a deluge of baskets. J.

However, in 1933 the call was so strong that Mr. Robinson was induced to take charge of a group of enthusiasts. Although all the boys were green to the game it was not long before Coach Robinson had a nicely working nine. In 1934 Mr. E. Reynolds coached this sport as Coach Robinson was away on leave of absence. Coach Reynolds proved to be an able coach in this sport and continued the development of a good Greenville High School baseball team. Ten games were played in 1934 and four were won. With around thirty-five candidates responding to the first call for baseball practice, the 1935 season ought to be successful. Eleven lettermen are returning. Coach Lawrence Robinson has charge of the squad and has arranged for a heavy schedule which consists of two games each with Belding, Lowell, Ionia, Alma, and Big Rapids and one with Sheridan. If at least two good pitchers can be developed the team has an excellent chance for a big year on the diamond. The Gibson Mono-Unit uniforms will be used again this year and home games will be played at the Fair Grounds field. Lettermen returning are Ed Johnson, L. Burgess, H. Sharpe, D. Olsen, A. Olsen, Anderson, B. Cooper, B. Baumgarden, P. Hahnenberg, E. Hahnenberg, and A. Knapp. NEW ATHLETIC FIELD The townspeople as well as all the students are proud of the new Black Athletic Field. Much of the credit should be given to Mr. R. A. Brown who has done a great deal to put the plan across. The labor was furnished by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration; the school supplied the materials. Besides a football gridiron there will eventually be a baseball diamond and a cinder track. Permanent seats on the south side are also planned. Although the field was unfinished last fall several games were played on it and attendance was noticeably improved over 1933. The field is conveniently located for local fans. Mr. Beal's 10-2 Agriculture Class made a study of the field and by fall they should have a solid sod; along with the other improvements this should make one of the best high school stadia in this part of the State.

Spring Sports This spring a new program of sports-for-all has been tried out with very satisfactory results. Nearly everyone has had a sixth hour session or has managed to leave during the study half of his sixth hour class in order to participate in some sport. Six softball teams—Yankees, Cubs, Pirates, Indians, Tigers, and Senators, including two Junior High teams,—have tried to emulate the deeds of their Major League conterparts, even ending the season with a World's Series. Mr. Alllnder and Mr. Beal have directed softball. Twenty or thirty students have used the tennis courts every day and it is hoped that next year there will be a nucleus for an interscholastic team. In i!ay a tournament was held and a trophy donated by the Student Council was given to the winner. Gym classes during the day have also been held. Mr. Dibble, Mr. Alllnder, and Mr. Beal have had charge of the boys and Miss Root and Mis3 Vaughan of the girls. Thi3 program is a great improvement over recent years. Every student has had a chance to express himself in athletics. Golf Thi3 year, for the first time, Greenville has had a golf coach able to devote considerable time to developing a team. Mr. Reynolds has had to start from the bottom so that the team was not expected to win many matches. The first three matches wore lost to Ionia, Big Rapids and Midland. John Story, Fred Guinnup, Jack Christensen, Lee Ranncy, John Beardslee, and Lawrence Stockford are members of the team this year. Two games each are scheduled with Ionia and Midland and one with Big Rapids. A tournament is to be held here. ________Ht-I .IFF ir.h-bL.'n ?l Activities, he used to sigh, Have spoiled this earthly paradise, And those who dance and sing and take The leading roles in High School plays Are silly fools whom I'll decry, Then cane the day (He'll not deny That he was bored by his dull life) When he-he too J- began to praise Activities.

The cause may be a matter of routine announcements or it may be a program. If the assembly is boring many students slump back in their seats and try to count the 1,058,400 holes in the ceiling. If it is interesting those in the back of the room silently curse the poor acoustics. The assemblies that are mentioned below were interesting to most of the students. November 6 The judging team, back from their Kansas City trip, told, about their experiences. December 19 Milwaukee Engineering College brought an enlightening electrical program which consisted of such interesting feats as frying an erg on a cold magnet. December 21 A Christmas program (see Band ) was the first important musical event of the year. March 1 Professor Robinson of Central Sta.te Teachers College gave a talk oh fair play. April 12 3ecause the Athletic Banquet was called off an Athletic assembly took pla.ce on April 12. George Bond, who had been elected toastmaster for the Athletic 3anquet, was in charge. Coaches Allinaer, Reynolds, and Robinson were presented tokens by the squac.s that worked under them. This year the Senior lettemen received medals while the underclassmen got G's . Certificates were given to all lettermen. Dr. St. Clare Parsons gave a short talk. May 15 The virtues of the candidates were set forth aurirg a calm election week.

Five of the Jurors nay be challenged by the prosecution or defense. 4. Amendments may be proposed by a three-fourths vote of the council, or 15$ of the students and ratified by the voters. HT-I .IFF________ n h Hi-Life The Seniors didn't decide until February to have an annual and then only a Senior Annual was planned. After looking over the situation and figuring a little it seemed possible to publish an all-school Hi-Life, mimeographed like the annuals of 1932 and 1933. Then began the work of designing, writing, rewriting, picture-taking, typing, correcting, mimeographing—all that goes into the making of an interesting', artistic, and accurate record of an eventful year. The book grew page by page, section by section until it was completed and ready to be bound. At last it was ready for the business managers to present to you for your approval. The annual is the last project that the Seniors sponsored. They hope that you like it.

The boys on this team were Jack Mall, Donald Frazee, Alvin Stokes, and Keith Sowerby. Jack Mall was high point man in the state in this contest. The team thus won the honor of representing the state of Michigan in the American Royal at Kansas City in October. There Greenville took first place in the country in horse judging. Keith Sowerby won fourth place in the U. S. in Judging all classes of livestock. Awards were given to the team in a special assembly. During the year the team has averaged three trips a week to nearby farms to Judge,horses, covis, sheep and poultry. This work is intensely practical and helps to develop scientific farming in America. A great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Beal for his excellent leadership.

Twice each week the orche'stra gets out its Instruments and fills the school with both sweet and sour music. Life becomes a burden to those unfortunate teachers and students who have classes in the gym. On the other hand, they have a chance to appreciate the efforts of the orchestra when a concert or play is given. The orchestra has played for a number of assemblies, all of the plays, the I.lay Festival, and graduation exercises. Small groups have played at different functions, including the reception given to the Senior girls by the Business and Professional Women. In April a very delightful concert was given. The aim of this organization is to develop a deeper appreciation of the best music by learning to play it. In the years to come the members of the orchestra will undoubtedly benefit from the time they are spending on music now. We hope that the Junior Orchestra progresses as well as the Senior Orchestra. Much credit is due Hr. Roth for his fine work with both the band and orchestra.

The paper has become an established feature of the school bringing to each subscriber news and comment, wit and humor.

HT-I TFF Hi M S 3 PeGSy Parks This comedy of the year in three acts made the undergraduates realize that the Seniors were their superiors after all. gHjl A gay younG miss, PegGy Parks (Betty Lietzfter) set out for the west coast from Chicaco to become a cinenactress. The much needed do-re-mi ran out in a little jerk-water in Colorado and she stopped at a Gas station to wanGle some Gas and a square meal from the proprietor (Don Johnson) who proved to be unsympathetic. Because the town bad man, Omar Hortensen, who ran a rival store across the road had threatened to shoot him if he accepted any business, the proprietor tried to persuade the younG lady to take her pleas elsewhere. PeGGJ decided that this was exactly where her services were needed and she informed Skinny that she was staying for the summer. When she insisted upon his paintlnc the front of the buildinG he almost Gave up, but her course and enerr-tf kept him in the business. The first day that PeGGy was there a younG GeoloGist (Bob Cooper) who was prospectinG for oil dropped in and at first siGht they fell in love. Two unemployed chorus Girls, Esther WaGner and Jessica. Harris (Ruth Fercli and Doris Potter), who had left Hollywood disillusioned and started back East stopped at the station and Peccy kept them on to serve as drawinG cards for the customers. Oscar Hammond, the tourh Guy from across the road soon tamed down v hen he found a woman who was his equal. Mrs. Adams (Catherine Clark), however, had the mortGa e on Skinny's lunch room and it was only throuGh the trickery of the hero and heroine that the land remained theirs until. oil was found on it. Cecil (Tom Pilkinton) son of Mrs. Adams, had a Great likinG for ladies, but not until he met Esther WaGner was his feelin; reciprocated, Mrs. Boggs (Ruth Munson) finally persuaded Skinny to be her soul-mate so that her dauchter Lizzy (Shirley Slanker) micht have a father, A cave-man scene between Lizzy and the hero opened Lizzie's eyes. She had always been enamored of him until he showed her how love was made in the city, Jessica Harris married the touGh hombre, Oscar Hammond.

The gym was dressed in sport-clothes—footballs, baseballs, and plenty of rackets—including that orchestra ! October 12 The worm will turn, to crawl back home again,-at least that is what Belding did when we defeated them by a 14-0 score in football. We celebrated by tackling another party in the gym. All the Freshmen were present. The stage scenery--those beautiful trees and that painted lake—was transported to the gym and we all went to the country—or should we say we went to town ? November 16 Fire ! Fire ! Lanterns, picks, shovels, axOs, sirens(both kinds), and flames (old and new) were all over the place. The orchestra, in black slickers and fire-chief hats, burned uo with rhythm. There was a hot time in the old school-house when the Firemen's Ball rolled around. During intermiss4on trained firemen dashed up the ladders with filled buckets, but, instead of ’ater, a deluge of candy kisses showered everyone. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and Mother, Mother, rather,Turn the Hose on Me were the theme-songs,and if you didn't fall over the real fire-hose that surrounded the torch-singers, you left the building at twelve sharp to Keep th Home Fires Burning'.' February l What a fantastic place the school became on this nighM The assembly room became the weird dance hall of gnomes , Spaniards, Russians, blonde dolls and gangsters' molls, little girls with lollipops and long curls, dignified mid-Victorian ladies with hoop skirts and icy stares of haughty disapproval, gypsy dancers with roses in their hair and flashing smiles, -old and young, innocent and worldly wise. proud and not-so-proud characters from every soot on the globe gathered here—for it was the Mardi Gras ! Gyosy fortune-tellers looked into your hand to read your character and advise you. No faking or pretending: they told you only what they saw in the lines of your palm. A little French tea-room across from the dance-hall offered you sandwiches and a bit of good coffee for a small fee, while a pretty French girl served you with a smile. Beano sent out its magnetic appeal to every lover of gambling, with prices worth writing home about. The Mardi Grr-s ! Everyone had a grand time. March 1 Greenville v-ent high-brow and. dripped with gold—so G.H.S. HT.--LIEE_________ .Jr had Ben Bernie, Wayne King, Cab Calloway, Guy Lombardo, and Hal Kemp to play for the school party. A lazy little turn of a finger brought you your favorite orchestra. It was a radio party that night have electrified the world, if everyone had been able to agree on the sane orchestra. Oh, about the crowd there? It was astounding, alnost a private party, in fact. But the few who cane had a very nice tine at this sophisticated dance. March 15 ’Nother dance in the gym. It seemed as though 99% of the dancers (especially the absent ones) were Danesi Fifteen dollars down in red ink for our council—shane on youj March 29 Junior-Senior Pron—were you there? Our study hall put on a different nask and surprised us. This tine it was a colonial house, with bright cheery awnings at the windows and porch furniture tossed here and there in a. nonchalant manner. Syncopated Darky-rhythn was furnished by Ray Vickerstaff's orchestra. The Pron this year was open to persons having guest permits, thus breaking an old tradition. Few underclassmen were present at the Prom but the Alumni were well represented. Ice cream was served in the hospitable Southern manner to the guests. Dancers forgot that they were of the high-scholar!sh age and, instead of plucking the flowers from the window-boxes, as was expected, they stepped into the role of colonial ladies and gentlemen with gracious dignity. April 12 Friday. (It could easily have been Friday the thirteenth for all the bad luck we had.) First, our long anticipated and customary athletic banquet was discouraged because of lack of cooperation from underclassmen. Second, our perfectly grand athletic dance, with all the elaborate decorations arranged, ana then the orchestra failed to appear—but by no fault of ours. A local orchestra was scared up, and the dance went on with all the couples who remained enjoying themselves. Lovely decorations—beautiful dresses—ice cream—no orchestra—long wait—frantic phone calls—and then we were rescued just as the dance was about to curl up and die at our feet. May 24 The mysterious, non-appeaning orchestra that was scheduled for the athletic dance came up tonight to see us, and played fbr us free of charge—as a peace-offering. The Student Council was happy as the money came rolling in, and everybody else happier as they roll their money out and the dance rolled on. The Rhythm Ramble was an emphatic success—what more can we say? HT -I .Th F HS 3S America, who Gives us strength, Shall glory in new light.

Miracles upon miracles, it was Thomas Pilkington, our old class president! He condescended to speak to me, and offered to take me in and buy me a full meal. We decided to look up facts concerning some of our classmates and find out what had become of then. What's that. Ton? Did you say that Fred Bock was President of the United States? Well, if I'd known that I would have applied for a relief fund before this. Yes, and you remember the little girl that used to practically fly around the school doing errands for Mr. Mabie? Oh, yes, her name was Dorothy Sayles. Well, she's Fred's secretary now. And a very efficient one, so I hear. How's Mary Ellen Christensen? I used to know her quite well. She is assistant Editor of the Chicago Tribune. She must not have gotten enough of it when she was in High School. And, also, Joyce Moore is Humor Editor of the Greenville Daily News. I'll bet the town is getting a lot of laughs. Look who's breezing in; he looks familiar. Why that's Don WilstedJ By the by, what does he do with himself these days? Haven't you heard? He has taken over the Zeigfield Follies and they are now called the Wilsted Follies. I makes it nice, for the chorus girls too, because he sells Van's Paint wholesale to them. Oh,Oh! Here he comes. I didn't think he would recognize us. Hello, Don, how's tricks? If it isn't my old palsy-walsy, Pilkinton. Hello, Barb, you look under the weather. Well, I guess you would too if you had been sleeping under it for the last tv o years. Tell me, Don, do you know anything about any of the old class-mates? Tom and I are rather curious to know what has become of some of them. Boy, oh boy! I have news just hot from the press. Have you heard about the Olsen Twins? I always thought Arnold was going to be a minister and Donald a farmer, but listen to this: They are making public appearances with the famous Dionne Quintuplets! You might like to know also that Ruth Munson is now playing a role in 'Hamlet' in a prominent Theater of New York. Remember Shirley Slanker, the girl who played the lisping part in our Senior Play? Do you happen to know what became of NT - i.TFF 1__35 her, Don? I should say! I guess you haven't been to many movies, lately. She's playing the Shirley Temple roles non. And here's more news flashes from Hollywood: Maxine Sharpe has taken Mar- lene Dietrich's place on the Screen; Bob Cooper is the hero of the le.test Current Hit 'Heart Throbs'; Kennie Bums is the 'Tar-zan' of the movies. We certainly have a number of representatives out in Hollywood. Here, Boy, give me a paper. Gee, am I ever interested to know how that race came out. Whoa.] I didn't tell you, did I? Howard Sharpe owns a plantation in Kentucky and breeds race horses, one of which was entered in the Kentucky Derby this year. I have a $100 bet on him. Now let's see, where's the Sport section. Here it is. Look] Tom] Barb] My fortune's made. 'Dynamite wins the great Kentucky Derby. What is this? Why here's something about Hermie Bond. Remember him? Here he is still playing halfback for the Chicago Bears. He made four touchdowns today. Great, that's what I call it, for him to be still going strong on football teams like that. What a coincidence! This reads 'Neva Dietrich is from Greenville, Michigan, and has been interested in sports all her life'. This is part of her biography. It seems that she's coaching a Girl's Baseball Team out in Los Angeles, and that they have won every game this year. They are now competing for the World's Championship. Hot Dog! That ought to be a game. Say, this is quite a nice little paper you're putting out, Tom. Only about fifty pages in it. Let's look in the Marriage License Column. We might chance upon some of our friends there. Just as I thought. Here's Genevieve Petersen, Vivian Stokes, Roberta Miller, and Mary Mulick. And I know all of the rnfcn they married. I guess they'll be well off for the rest of their lives. Say, I've got to go back to the office now. Will you both walk as far as the Theater with me! Sure. Who owns that Fashion Salon over there? It certainly has ritzy appearance. Why, I thought of course you knew, Barb. Helen Lawton owns that. Look boys! Doesn't that girl on that sign-board look familiar to you—Yes, I knew it. That's Ruth Tully—a model for Palmolive Soap Co. She hasn't changed a bit. The same school Girl Complexion. Oh, is this the Theater? Hum—a nice little place. Just a little bungalow thirty stories high. Well, goodbye, Don, We'll be seeing you! Be good, and spend your new fortune carefully. I think I'll leave you here, Tom. I'm going over to talk to Helen. Thanks for all you've done for me. Bye. Well, I certainly found out a good deal from Helen. She has a lovely shop and wealthy patrons, too. That one dress tl at HT -I.TFE 5 Marian Cusick designed was a beauty, and Pauline Parkhurst's making a hit as one of her mannequins. While I was there I heard over the radio that the program was sponsored by Conger's Coilfeure. That must be Clella. I hear she owns a chain of Beauty Salons all over the United States. That was a clever plot in that play on the radio and was I surprised to hear Mary C-'gswell playing the part of heroine. She must be making good money. Betty Metzger was married seven years ago to a prominent New York business man and is now traveling in France. She told me back in high school she had made three ten-dollar bets that she wouldn't get married until she was thirty. Some of our present and moot prosperous farmers are Bernie DeSpelder, Martin Kolmden, Alvin Stokes, and Glen Wooster. I guess they're making Michigan famous, from all I hear. Ronald Fox owns a chain of Oil Stations--and that reminds me, Helen also told me that Greenville is one of America's largest oil centers. Winston Cairns is running a Home-owned store in that great metropolis of Greenville. Gaylord Anderson is head-foreman of an up and coming factory. Doris Potter plays first violin in the Philadelphia Symphony. Don Johnson is now a high-class salesman for Noiseless Soupspoons. Remember when he played Skinny in the Senior Play? He certainly was good. Jeanne Miller is Superintendent of Nurses in a Detroit Hospital. I happened to go by one of the largest five-ana-ten-cent stores ana glanced at the name of it and what do you know--------- Mert Kraas owns it. The old class of '35 certainly has amounted to something. Well, I'll have to be going, Tom's offered me a position crooning over his radio program. That means I eat again. 1 n hs « Ten Little High School Boys Ten little high school boys went out to dine, Burgess choked himself to death and then there were nine.
