Our four years at Greenville High School have been happy and unforgettable ones. We look back on them as a great hourglass. In every grain of sand we see one of the precious moments of our school days. It is for the purpose of keeping alive these memories that this book has been compiled. May everyone who opens it remember with fondness the successful year which has passed . . . the excitement of the sports events, the thrill of the banquets and other events, yes — and the teachers and studies which have helped to make us ready to face the world. We hope you, the underclassmen, will find the rest of your years at G. H. S. filled with happiness and that you will cherish them as much as we do. We leave with you now, our fond farewells and sincere good wishes. two Compliments of First State Bank dedication In appreciation of her many years of faithful service to the students of Greenville High School, and her willingness to help and advise us as both a friend and a teacher, we, the Seniors of 1955, dedicate this Hi-Life to . . . % Mrs. Margaret Tuttle substitute teacher at Greenville High School for many years.

We know that is true. Do you? Have we done our job well? Have you? Are you strong? Life may appear easy. But, is it? As the demand for physical efforts decreases for producing the things we need, the demand increases for nerve and mental efforts. A healthy mind and body are needed. Are you prepared? Above all, a faith in the Christian way of life is essential. You have the answers; they will not be verbal, but will be manifested by your actions. Our trust is in you. A. F. Illinder Secy, to Superintendent Internal Accounts Mrs. G. Crawford Mrs. Dorothy Cairns To the Seniors: It is only natural to look forward to the time when you will be graduated from high school. You will have moments of apprehension about losing the security of going to school, but an eagerness to try something new usually erases these fleeting thoughts. Life is an enjoyable adventure if the future is always a challenge. May it always be so for you. Howard B. Dalman Principal H. B.

It marked the beginning of a new experience for them as they are about to take the big step of going out into the world and be on their own. In the fall they elected four very capable officers: President........................................Bob Adams Vice-President.................................Larry Jones Secretary.........................................Jim Ward Treasurer.......................................Judy Swanton They worked very hard as did their advisors, Mr. Swanton, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Christensen, on the dances they sponsored, especially the Junior and Senior Prom, and the Senior Dance. Two equally as important events were the Senior Play and the putting out of the Hi-Life. The steps taken in putting the final touches on a fine year were the Honor Banquet, Skip Day, Baccalaureate, and finally Commencement.

To lead them through the harbor so they could embark upon their sophomore year, they chose Don Ward, President; Stephen Loftus, Vice-President; Brenda Barnes, Secretary; Madelyn Bigler, Treasurer. 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 had a swell dance after a game.

Although the Yellow Jackets had a slow start, they had a blazing finish by edging Ionia, 6-0, in the clincher for the first conference title since 1947. Although the team lost three games, you can see for yourself that they never gave up without a fight, because they were never defeated by more than one touchdown. One thing which was a constant threat to their opponents was the passing combination, which was considered the best in the West Central League. It consisted of Rod Fuller and Jim Stout doing the Third Row: Jim Ward, John Clark, Tom Smith, Paul Hoffman, Elon Wittkopp, Ken Petersen, Howard Knapp, Pete Sorensen, Larry Lewis.

The Greenville Yellow Jackets won 11 basketball games and dropped 7 for a successful season. Before the holiday break they compiled a 6-1 record, but because of injuries and illnesses at the turn of the year, Coach Hal Henderson was forced to use a different combination almost every week. One thing the team never lacked, and that was spirit and the will to win when the going got rough. This shows up in the statistics, which shows they won 3 out of 4 overtime league games. The Jackets finished third in conference play with 4 wins and 4 losses. In tournament play they whipped Ionia and Lowell to win the district tournament at Ionia and then bowed to powerful Adrian in regional tournaments at Albion College. Bob Adams was leading scorer with 217 total points for a game average of 12.1 points. Rod Fuller was runner-up with 143 total points. Larry Bauman and Bob Adams were elected honorary Co-Captains.
