The Greenville High School “J3ig, Z)op” Published by The Senior Class of Nineteen Fifty-Two Judy Krauter...............................Editor Dixie Allen.....................Assistant Editor Bob Johnson......................Business Manager Compliments of First State Bank one As graduation time approaches and another class of seniors leave the Big Top” of Greenville High School, we know all the traditions and customs we have cherished will be carried on successfully in the years to come. To the Juniors who hold Ring One, we know that they are anxiously awaiting their turn to take the spotlight we leave. To the Sophomores and Freshmen, who hold Rings Two and Three, respectively, the Senior Class of '52 wishes them success as they take a step forward with each coming year. With Mr. Allinder as Master of Ceremonies and Mr. Dalman as Head Ring Master, one of the most outstanding years has just been completed under the Greenville High Big Top. For a circus to be run in unison it takes many groups of people co-operating to make the show a success. Animal keepers, water boys, tent pitchers and many others right up through to the main actors, all do their part, which, when all blended together make a perfect show. So it is at Greenville High School, with each student doing his part, no matter how small or large, in the various organizations; each fulfills his duty to make our show outstanding and one long to be remembered. Now as we Seniors step aside after our four years at Greenville High, it is only with pleasant memories of the many happy events and happenings that we will always cherish. It is time for us to take the various roads of life that will help us be the kind of citizens that will help better our world of tomorrow. So with a smile on our face but a tear in our eye do we look back once more and say, Good-bye Greenville High and lots of good luck from the class of 1952.” Compliments of Claude T. Tuck, Real Estate, Insurance, and Coal DEDICATION As a tribute to her years of efficient and willing service, the senior class of Greenville High School proudly dedicates the 1952 Hi-Life to Mrs. Robert Crawford. Mrs. Crawford for 25 years has proved to be invaluable in the educational system of our school as secretary to the Superintendent. With her leadership she has combined kindness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity. Her pleasing personality has won her many friends. Compliments of Howard Hoffman three There is a challenge to you, the Class of '52, that is perhaps greater, but certainly not less, than was presented to preceding classes. This challenge is not only to your Strength of character, but to your beliefs and faith in them. Our republican form of government has withstood many tests. The current trends of political thought and action indicate that we are approaching a fork in the road. Your thinking, but more important your action, will help determine which path your country will take. No doubt, the fundamental issue will be whether you place your faith in God or manmade principles of living. Our wishes are for you to meet this challenge with all your strength. Allen F. Allinder To the Seniors: As you are about to leave the public school system as high school graduates you will, no doubt, look upon our school and schools in general in a new light. You will realize that there was a continuous pattern for growth which followed year by year. You have had the opportunity to experience these steps one by one, and as you progressed, higher and higher levels of learning were attained until you have built a foundation for all future learning and experience. One thing you should always remember and we know you will realize its importance as time goes on. Those things which promote freedom are very important. Work hard to preserve them, for freedom is our priceless heritage. Howard B. Dalman, Principal four Compliments of Sears Roebuck R. Tower, E. Wyckoff, H. Wilson, A. Cook, A. Johnson, A. Allinder. Board of Education In the circus, as in other types of show business, there must be a group who backs the show and keeps it running. Supervising the big performance of 1952 was the Greenville Board of Education. President Howard W. Wilson directed the group with the support of Mrs. A. Cook, secretary; Ray Tower, treasurer; Alger Johnson and Earl Wyckoff. The Seniors of '52 would like to dedicate this page to them to express our appreciation for all the fine work our Board of Education has done for the Greenville Public Schools. May we thank you sincerely for your ceaseless efforts to make our school one of the finest. five Compliments of Faber's Jewelry Faculty Edith Briggs B.A., M.A. Assistant Principal Robert Budge B.A., M.A. Biology General Science Lloyd Conley M.M.

The Main Attraction 1952 was the year for the Seniors to give their grand finale — Graduation. Many things led up to this performance. First they elected their efficient officers. They were, president, Larry Sweet; vice - president, Evelyn Neitzel; secretary, Barbara Anderson; and treasurer, Joe Coleman. To carry their views to Student Council, they chose Tooney Ranney and Maurie Bauman. Mrs. Budge, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Swanton advised them. • They worked hard to make their last year the best. During the year, they sponsored the Hayloft Hop; record dances; the Senior Play; the great social events, the Junior-Senior Prom and the Senior Dance; and published the Hi-Life. They have been busy, but they have had enjoyment. To next year’s class and to those who follow, who will then have the spotlight, the Seniors of '52 wish you the best of luck in everything you undertake. They may leave you and G. H. S., but they shall not forget you. ten Compliments of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Sweet Class Flower: Violet. Class Colors: Purple and White.

Student Government Under the Big Top of Greenville High School in the 1951-1952 performance were the Student Council and the Police Board giving their assistance. These groups make up the Student Government. Student Government is held in high respect by the students of G. H. S. Some individuals learn its meaning by participating on the Student Council or Police Board. There are those who learn its functions the hard way by carrying out a sentence passed by the chief-of-police, and there are the majority who learn the democratic meaning of Student Goverment through the common contacts with it during their high school career. All of them realize the qualities of democracy it teaches in helping to prepare students for adult life after graduation. In comparing the ideas of Student Government with those of our national government, a complete similarity is found. Abraham Lincoln stated the principle of our democratic national government in his famous Gettysburg Address by simply saying it is government of the people, by the people, and for the people.” It can be as aptly said high school Student Government is government of the students, by the students, and for the students. fifty-four Compliments of Dr. N.

Also, they sent bundles of clothing to Save the Children Organization for needy European children.

H. S. informed on what was happening throughout the circus. The staff of the paper should receive the well-deserved congratulations for its work. It is hoped the G. H. S. Rambler will be taking encores for its wonderful act for years to come. Journalism First row — N. Clark, C. Morgan, F. Raymor, L. Sheldon, S. Bernth. Second row — S. McConnell, C. Nielsen, D.

Football The Greenville Yellow Jackets under Coaches Heinzelman and Lawson finished its 1951 football season with a record of four wins and four losses. It wouldn't be fair to the Jackets to say that they had a mediocre season for they played some of the top teams in the state. The team was somewhat handicapped because of the small squad and also because of numerous injuries that occurred throughout the season. In the final game of the season against Ionia, the Jackets displayed tremendous spirit and skill in one of their best games of the season. The Jackets put on a thrilling aerial show in defeating Ionia. Greenville finished second in the conference, leaving a record of three wins and one defeat. The 1951 squad lost the services of 13 seniors by graduation. The boys were Jack Jorgensen, Morrie Bauman, Dick Godfrey, Clark Morgan, Don Larsen, Dave Roberts, Jerry Hoxie, Oscar Paulsen, Jerry Holderman, Dick Stout, Corky Houck, Jack Wood, and Bob Johnson. The Jackets placed five boys on the All-Conference team. Those receiving the honors were Bauman, Jorgensen, Holderman, Roberts, and Hoxie.

V arsity The fighting spirit of G. H. S. was high all season in our '51-'52 basketball squad even though the wins were few. Coach Lawson and his team who faced a tough schedule with not too much height were handicapped from the beginning. Injuries and illnesses plagued the team throughout much of the season. They ended the season with 5 wins, 12 losses and fourth in the Conference. Maurie Bauman was the high scorer for the team with 305 points, and he was second in league ratings. Maurie made the All-Conference team. Compliments of Michigan Consolidated Gas Company seventy-tive Junior Varsity The Junior Varsity squad, under the direction of Coach Diehl, was not successful enough to reach the win column in many of their games, but they gained a great deal of experience which should make them a victor more often next year.

We wish you good luck and hope that the '51-'52 season has given you added poise and ability for future games. seven ty-six Compliments of Owen's Drug Store' First row. left to right — D.

Track Team Wins Fourth Conference Title Coach Guthier and his Jacket squad won the Conference Championship trophy for the fourth straight year. The season didn't start that well, as Stanton beat the team in the season opener. From then on the Jacket tracksters rated high in the River Rouge Relays, won the triangle meet with Belding and Ionia, and won second in a triangle meet with Alma and Ionia. The Jackets topped Hastings and won third in the Regional meet. Jim Lincoln won the State Championship in the high hurdles (15 seconds as his time). We were proud of the team and their fine performances at all the meets. The 1952 team will be without Jim Lincoln, Frank Drougel, Buerl Guernsey, and Norman Harper, but the boys will try hard to win the Conference trophy again. seventy-eight Compliments of Dr. Robert Rice Calendar of Events Sept. 4 — The Big Show began to the tune of School Days, School Days.” Sept. 13 — The Freshman Mixer was a success.
