ottsi - JlU e 1949 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL GREENVILLE, MICHIGAN Editor MARLENE GREGORIOUS Assistant Editor Business Manager FERRIS LARSEN DARRELL NELSON 1lui 91 This is our school through whose corridors we have tramped for four years. These hallowed walls have shared our joys and sorrows and our secrets through the most happy and carefree time in our lives. We seniors are now leaving high school, turning our backs on something we can never come back to, or live over. So thanks, dear G. H. S., for being such a splendid guiding light to our wayward feet. Compliments of Slenlz Electric 2 2iediceUio t To SYDNEY L. SWANTON, who has guided us with patience, serenity, and perseverance, we dedicate this, our yearbook, in sincere appreciation. Jli Qolkl . . . Yes, we re the Forty-Niners! Exactly one hundred years ago, the original Forty-Niners made never-to-be-forgotten history in their rush for California gold. Some day we, the class of ’49, hope to equal their fame and discoveries. For this reason, we are letting the Forty-Niners of one hundred years ago show you through our book of high school life. Remember, as you turn each page, a new and exciting adventure will begin. McClellan's Electric — Wiring and Supplies 4 Sid. - fJnA. - SofUii - Compliments of Vowels Service — 121 W.

As we Forty-Niners” reminisce about our early mining adventures, we discover that Dick Burk was President; Pam Nickerson, Vice-President; Gayle Petersen, Treasurer; and Eleanor Eurich, Secretary, for our Freshmen prospectors. The Fun House at the C.C.C. enriched our program for that year. Our camp was fairly well underway by our Sophomore year with Jim Sprague as President; Dick Burk, Vice-President; Bill Highfield, Treasurer; and Jeanne Nelson, Secretary. We began joining in on the fun by having a dance after a game. By our Junior year we had staked our claims with Jeanne Nelson, President; Esther Senn, Vice-President; Fred Stilwell, Treasurer; and Joan Swanson, Secretary. We in- creased our treasury by selling the Echo . With our enriched prosperity we sponsored, together with the Seniors, the Junior-Senior Prom. Knowing we would soon break camp, we all joined in working for various activities in sports. Senior Play, Hi-Life, Class Dance, and the Hay-Loft Hop. To lead us in our last year, we elected Darrell Nelson, President; John Thorlund, Vice-President; Reba McGee, Treasurer; and Wayne Bidstrup, Secretary. Our advisors were Miss Kistler, Mr. Swanton, and Mr. Robinson. While we Seniors are packing our belongings and breaking camp ready to move on to more adventure, we wish the underclassmen great success in richer fields!

Seems as if the class of '50 let the fellows have a landslide in the election of officers; electing Bill Pearl as President; John Thompson, Vice-President; Bill King, Treasurer; Carl Jones, Secretary; with Darwin Christensen and Roger Hansen as Student Council Representatives. They completed an unusually successful year under the advice of Miss Kern, Miss Straight, and Mr. Kidd. The Junior Class participated in many organizations and on various committees this year. Everyone enjoyed their after-game dances, especially the one after the Ithaca basketball game. They also organized an eleven-piece orchestra, The Dreamers,” which proved a success not only to the high school, but to the city as well. We Seniors appreciated the help from the Juniors which made the Junior-Senior Prom a momentous one. The Baccalaureate and Commencement decorations, were equally appreciated. This class, we know, will do great things next year. Good luck, kids!

Slowly edging into the lead this year are the Sophomores being led through the second stretch by President, Dick Snell; Vice President, Ed Perks; Treasurer, Roger Conrad; and Secretary, Wilma Irish. Bob Simpson and Jim Lincoln were elected as representatives to the Student Council. The Sophomore class was well represented in football, basketball, track, and baseball. Jake Winters, Gerald Davenport, Bill Irish, Frank Drougel, and Bob Simpson were initiated into the Varsity club in one of the best initiations we've seen. Both the Greenville and Hastings teenagers had a swell time at their dance after the Hastings basketball game. We’re all sure that by the time this class comes into the homestretch two years from now, they will look back on their sophomore year as one of their best years of training.

Early in September, the Freshmen dived into a haze of new experiences, Senior High. They were a swell bunch of frosh, and it wasn't long until they were right at home in G. H. S. To lead them through the harbor so they could embark upon their sophomore year, they chose Jack Jorgensen as President; Maurice Bauman, Vice President; Mary Alice Roell, Secretary; Duane Hansen, Treasurer; Dixie Allen and Jim Schenck as Student Council representatives. They certainly didn't seem to be afraid of deep water, for many of their members went out for football, basketball, and the band. In fact they even had a swell dance after a game.

Idfihalde i ajj the GanitUutlan Government? Well maybe the original Forty-niners lived by the hangman's noose. But in G. H. S. we have student government with the student council as our governing body. The council, presided over by Mayor Einer Jorgensen, Chief-of-Police Gayle Petersen, Secretary Betty Larsen, and Treasurer Phyllis Ries, consists of representatives from clubs and classes, a social, publicity, and assembly chairman. This year the Student Council sponsored the student Activity Ticket, the Fall Party, the All-School Play, a Liquid Air Demonstration, the Christmas Party, and a musical program by the Williams twins. The climax of Student Council year is the all-important Honor Banquet which rewards those students of high achievement throughout the year. Compliments of Mr. and Mrs. H. . Laterance 38 (DteteSi In the Gault! This year's Police Board, presided over by Chief of Police Gayle Petersen, kept their eager eyes open for anyone who wandered too far out of step in fortune seekings. The duty of this board is to guide G. H. S. students through their high school years by helpful jurisdiction. The guiding hand of the Police Board helps us keep our student-run school government going smoothly. By the system of trial by jury, the board, which meets weekly, aids the students who are incapable of obeying all school rules. Representatives from each class are picked from sessions by the Chief of Police and the school Mayor. The board consisted of Gayle Petersen, Chief of Police; Pat Peterson, Secretary; Jeanne Nelson and Ralph Spear, Senior Representatives; Carl Jones and Delores De Graw, Junior Representatives; Gerald Davenport, Sophomore Representative; and Barbara Galentine, Freshman Representative.

They gladly accept ideas from their advisor. Miss Rhea Straight, and her assistant. Miss Mary Ellen Evans.

With football season over, the band settled down to prepare for their annual concerts. This year, they put on a Christmas concert for the student body, in addition to the one for the public. They also presented their annual Dress Up The Band concert in the spring. Under the capable direction of their conductor, Arthur Gorman, the band again entered the Regional Festival in Grand Rapids and came through with some fine ratings.

The Greenville gridiron power house was stopped but once this year by Ionia, which gave them a share of the West Central League Football championship. Able coaching by John Heinzelman and Bill Guthier gave the team all they had and made every game, especially the tilt with St. Johns, thrilling and unforgettable events. The Yellow Jackets placed three men, Dave Hansen, Einer Jorgensen, and Carl Jones on the all-conference team. Mr. Wyckoff's steak fry, Dr. Sorensen's gift of tickets to the U. of M. - M. S.

The Yellow Jacket Freshman Conference track champs of '46 have brought to Greenville in '48 its first West Central League Conference track championship and hopes for an even more inspiring season next spring, with many of the veterans back. The thin clads ran, jumped, hurdled, and dashed through the most successful track season ever seen by G. H. S. The distant relay team composed of Einer Jorgensen, Jake Winters, Gerald Davenport, and Neil Bard, set a new record at the Hastings Relays, and then moving on to Mt. Pleasant, placed second in the Regionals. We finished the year with flying colors when ten of our stars placed in the state track meet. Model Bakery—110 W. Grope — Ph. 593 59 Firs!

The second successive year of golf, since its renewal as a sport at G. H. S., proved very successful. Coach Bob Budge's linksmen went through their schedule winning three dual matches and one four-way match, while losing their dual match with a strong Cadillac team and losing to East Grand Rapids in the Regional Match. The highlight of the season, besides defeating Alma in a four-way match held at the Greenville Country Club, was capturing a West Central League trophy from Ionia and Hastings.
