Now we arrive at Senior Peak. There are thirty-six members abiding on this beautiful hill. We worked very hard to get here and finally arrived with the great help of our sponsors, Miss Corey and Mr. Baker. Also helping us ,make this hard climb were Al Chingwa, president, Frank Granstra, vice-president, Shirley Smith, secretary, and Opal Burdick, treasurer. As Student Council representative, we had Herman Ross the first semester, and Elmer Ballou the second semester. On October 21 we won first prize in the homecoming parade with our float, the theme of which was a huge Ram eating rambler roses, to signify the Boyne City Ramblers, who were our opponents for the evening. Because we planned to take a trip when we reached the top of Senior Peak, we needed many projects to raise money for it. Bake sales and a stationery campaign were very successful and helped us toward our goal. Our senior play, Backwoods Romeo, which was held March 27, was a huge success. . After a good deal of arguing in our class meetings, we decided on the destination of our trip. We went to Chicago on a chartered Greyhound bus on May l5. We took a conducted tour of the city, seeing many interesting places. Everyone enjoyed himself and we returned on May l7. On June 4 we reached the very top of Senior Peak. That night at Commencement, we received our diplomas and bade a fond farewell to good old Harbor High and the Knowledge Islands. HAZEL ALLEN All the world's a laugh, and all the people giggles.

Very near the peak of Senior Hill we found a manuscript on which the superior slaves. called Seniors, had evidently bequeathed their most valued possessions and attributes to lesser slaves on the island. On the document, listed in this order, was the following: Hazel Allen leaves her friendship with Mr. Beer to Richard Wagenschutz. Adelaide Arman leaves her artistic talent to someone in need of it. Elmer Ballou leaves his napping in study hall to Marcella Gasco. Amie Larsen leaves with Frank. Opal Burdick leaves her scholarly air to Al Miller. June Bylsma leaves her long hair to Marlene Scott. Virginia Cetus leaves her laugh to Sarah King. Al Chingwa wishes to leave what is in front of him behind him to some worthy student. Mike DeWitt leaves his scientific mind to Chuck Taylor. Loretta Droszcz leaves her pretty smile to all the fellows. Don Geary leaves his levis to Cart Seeley with hopes that they fit. Frank Gran- stra leaves his quietness to Hon Corey. Wilma Gregory leaves her clarinet to anyone who can make the thing play. Jerry Hahn wishes to leave his participation in class affairs to some member of the junior class who is in need of it. Jim Ingraham leaves his drawl to Gerry Okorowski. Ann Irish leaves her ability to read music to the cornet section of the band. Isabell Jablinskey leaves her behavior in study hall to Vena Young. Juanita Johnston leaves her quiet manner to Milca Mathews. Vincent Keway leaves. Martin King leaves his quiet humor to Arden Holiday. Harriet Kishigo leaves her rush to school every morning to her sister, Veronica. Earl McDonald leaves an H Bomb for someone to set off in study hall. Betty Niswander leaves her shortness to Lorraine Hemmes, Stella Poziemski wishes to give her driving ability to Stan Piter, Leo Smith leaves all the girls to Tommy Clarke. Shirley Smith leaves her short hair to Grace Halter. Betty Lou Standish leaves her behavior in shorthand class to Greta Ward. Eddie Stolt leaves his influence with the teachers to Leon Sterly so he will be able to stay in class during his senior year. Diane Sutherland leaves all the Harbor fellows. She'll take anyone from Petoskey any day. Gloria Terpenning leaves Jimmy to anyone who dares to try to get him. Marie Warner leaves the town and its dullness to Mayor Baker. Dick Williams leaves his smooth manner to Wally Granstra. John Luettjohann leaves: but he takes Peggy. Herman Ross leaves all his artistic doodles to the janitors. Ron Schlosser leaves his books to Merlyn Schlosser, thinking that he will be able to make better use of them. John Krupa leaves his typing worries to Rhoda Lightfoot. snioz flirt: fpfcoflfiecy The last chapter of my latest book, entitled THIRTY-SIX CAME HOME or MY FOUR YEARS IN A PRISON CAMP. deals with the lives of these 36 people after their release from Slave Island. I found, while doing research, that nearly all of these have gained world-wide recognition in their chosen fields. Foremost among these is RONALD SCI-ILOSSER, who made his first million in the manufacture of hair nets. His wife, STELLA POZIEMSKI. is very busy raising little millionaires, I had quite some difficulty tracking down JIM INGRAHAM and DON GEARY, It seems the two musicians were run out of a small town where they had held a concert. With the aid of VINCENT KEWAY of the F.B.I., I found them hiding on DICK WILI.IAMS'S fabulous dude ranch in Nevada. In Detroit I found Judge MARIE WARNER trying the case of JOHN LUETTJOI-IANN'S young son who had been throwing rocks through the windows ot his school. His teacher, MISS JUANITA JOHNSTON, had tried to stop him: but Judge Warner decided that Mr. Luettjohann was to blame and had her secretary, HAZEL ALLEN, call him from his peanut-oil plant for consultation. That evening as I was reading the Detroit FREE PRESS, I noticed the name of my old schoolmate, ISABELL JABLINSKEY. She writes the want ads. On the front page I read of the landing of the first space ship on Mars. Among some of the passengers was SHIRLEY SMITH, who has become quite famous for her knowledge of space ships and their operation. This particular ship was constructed under the supervision of engineer FRANK GRANSTRA and wife, AMIE BRAGER-LARSEN, of our class. Others who helped with its construction were JERRY HAHN and JOHN KRUPA. Skimming through the rest of the paper, my eye caught an ad for a beauty parlor which is run by DIANE SUTHERLAND. She specializes in scalp massages and is assisted by VIRGINIA CETAS. In Harbor Springs once again I learned of the location of many more members of our class. BETTY NISWANDER is working as a missionary in Tibet. She writes of meeting mountain climber ELMER BAL- LOU, who had been believed lost. ADELAIDE ARMAN is home after her second world tour as the greatest woman prize fighter of all times. BETTY LOU STANDISH accompanies her as a traveling companion. having formerly travelled with the Detroit Tigers. The Little Traverse Hospital has becn renamed the ALBERT CHINGWA Memorial Hospital, in memory of his contributions in the field of biology and the un-tiring work he so generously gave prior to his death. One of his large snakes ate him. I-IARRIET KISHIGO is working as receptionist, WILMA GREGORY is in charge of all laboratory work, and MARTIN KING is serving his internship. He worked several long years to obtain his doctor's degree, Up at the new school I watched Coach EDWIN STOLT run his championship girls' volley ball team through practice. He certainly has those gals trained .the way he wants theml At the GRAPHIC office GLORIA TERPENNING was busily writing the gossip column. I noticed that her ears seem to have grown, but I suppose that aids greatly in collecting news. Two familiar names in the column were those of EARL McDONALD and LEO SMITH who are spending their furlough in Har- bor Springs. Both won many honors in combat. I'm sure all of you mystery lovers are followers of HERMAN ROSS'S adventures as The Shadow , but have you seen his latest cartoon book? It's terrific! As I lifted the receiver to telephone home, I heard the familiar voice of OPAL BURDICK speak that soothing number. please . We chatted for several minutes and she told me that JUNE BYLSMA is happily married, has a large family, and is living in Cheboygan. LORETTA DROSZCZ is ex-president Dwight D. Eisenhower's private secretary. MIKE DEWITT has taken over Dr. Graham's office and is now the .town's dentist. I-Ie always wears a necklace of the teeth he has pulled. He thinks it is good for business. A You may read more about that wonderful class of 1953 in my new book soon to come off the press. .Senior Left to right:-Harriet Kishigo, Gloria Terpenning, Ann Irish, Eddie Stolt, Isabell Jablinskey, A1 Chingwa, Shirley Smith, Frank Gransira, Amie Larsen, Opal Burdick, Adelaide Arman. Wilma Gregory, and Betty Niswander. On March 27th the senior class of '53, under the direction of Mr. Forrest Rinehart, sailed to Activity Isle to present the play entitl- ed Backwoods Romeo , a comedy in three acts by john Nash. The cast included Albert Chingwa, Shirley Smith, Frank Granstra, Amie Larsen, Eddie Stolt, Isabell Jablinskey, Ann Irish, Harriet Kis- higo, Gloria Terpenning, Opal Burdick, Wilma Gregory, Betty Niswander, and Adelaide Arman. The play actually had three plots. One centered around Romeo QAlbertJ, who was a hermit blessed with an outstanding knowledge of science, but who had never seen a woman until visiting the lVlcNeiI household. Like any man, he learned quickly and rather enjoyed meeting the women. Another plot centered around Rex flidcliel and l..arry's fFrank'sJ car. Rex had had a slight accident and the Skinem Insurance Com- pany, with Gloria as representative, tried to settle the case. Rex, being a coward, was never present when the agent came, but finally the truth got to Billie flsabelll that it was a rich man whom Rex had saved, and that the accident hadn't been his fault. The third plot centered around an Amazon fOpalD who was an employee of a furniture company. She and her helpers, Wilma, Betty, and Adelaide, had been told to get the lVIcNeil's furniture because it hadn't been paid for. They finally succeeded. The play, of course, had a happy ending, with Romeo falling in love with Connie fshirleyj and making a discovery in science, and Rex getting 32,000 for his brave deed. gwzioz This year the class of l954 has successfully reached the top of the ridge. To help us on this adv,enture, we have had as president, Arden Holiday, vice president, Roland Corey, treasurer, Lena Johnston, and secretary, Betty Kaniarz. Peggy Lowry was our representative in Student Council. Our advisers were Miss Nicholson and Mr. Beer. Several of our islanders traveled to Athletic Isle to sell refresh- ments at the Charlevoix football game. We also had good business at the Mancelona and East jordan basketball games. We sold autograph books, entitled School Daze , among the islands. When November I5 rolled around, all the girls grabbed their fellows and took them to the Sadie Hawkins Dance on Activity Isle. Amazing Gracie , our three act play, also held on Activity lsle, helped us on our climb to Senior Peak. We held an elaborate affair on April 25, which was the annual ,I-Hop. This event with the theme, April Showers, was a very suc- cessful dance. ln May we were hosts to the Senior Peak dwellers at the junior- Senior banquet. Next year we all hope to occupy Senior Peak. 2 C. Adams M. Baldwin R. Bennington A. Bawkey 1 I L F G. Beckon '31 H. Bosma M. Bradshaw B. Butler E. Cassidy P.

This play was written by Jay Tobias and directed by Mr. Rinehart and Mr. Stevens. This story was about Gracie and Ty Underwood and their troub- les with Ty's uncle, Horatio Helfrey, and Gracie's aunt, Talulah Tate. These two were mortal enemies. Talulah left Horatio at the altar and neither would speak to the other. Gracie was played by Betty Kaniarz, Ty by Stanley atio by Wally Granstra. Dr. Kilbury Coffin, when he escaped from closed the play, leaving Others who played Holiday, Lee Kleinhenz, Pifer, Talulah by Lena Johnston, and Hor- a mad surgeon, also entered into the picture the booby hatch.

Aioflgonzo 'zz cswanz The first venture of the sophomore class in Sopho- more Swamp was the selling of Christmas cards. We can- vassed the entire island and parts of the surrounding ls- lands. It was a big success and we hope to do it again next year. We sold refreshments at the Homecoming game at the stadium. Again this year we had a Christmas dance, complete with mistletoe and several Christmas trees. We sold refreshments at two of the basketball games, the Boyne City game and the victory over the unbeaten Lancers of Ellsworth. We had another dance on May l6th and also have had several bake sales. Next year we hope to occupy Junior Ridge. ,...1.-.--1-., -. ., W qw , I P. Aldrich E. Ballou R. Cetas J. Clarke P. Heynig G. Seeley S. Hoover V. Huffman N ' S. King V. Kishigo V A -Q f V. Martin W.

However, as the year progressed, we seemed to find our way around the Islands and enjoyed ourselves very much. Our freshman class of l953 did many things through- out the year. As leader, we had Maxine LaTocha, with Virginia Rosemeier close at her side. jerry Reinwand watched over our money and Betty Radle kept an ac- count of our activities. Pete Marihugh represented us in Student Council. Our advisers were Miss Carpenter and Mr. Bartlett. Our class went around to the different islands and sold cider and doughnuts. We also had several bake sales. We went to Athletic Isle and sold refreshments at the Onaway and Boyne 'Ci-ty games. On October Zl, we made a float to enter in the Homecoming parade and we are happy to say it won second prize. We hope to travel to Sophomore Swamp next year and take up residence there. G. Burgess R.

One of the very first activities of the agriculture department, which was re-established after I2 years of inactivity, was to organize into a group called Young Farmers of America with the primary purpose of developing agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citi- zenship. This club has many extracurricular activities, but is an intracurricular organization. Five officers of the YFA: president, jim Herrickg vice-president, Don Geary, secretary, Jim Tippettg reporter, Dick Shepherd: and sentinel, Anton Peterson attended Farmers' Week at East Lansing in March. All agreed that it had been a valuable experience. Selling seeds and a scrap drive were the final activities our group undertook during the school year of l952-53 on Activity Island. M45 CM?

Here we hold monthly meetings to aid the islanders in the speaking of French. Our meetings consist of discussion, business, and entertainment. We often play French records, too. We held a Christmas party on Activity lsle, which was typical- ly French in nature. We decorated a room which we called Le Cafe de Paris , and our French theme was carried out with checked table- cloths and candles in bottles. Other plans included the planning of a spring dance to which the public was invited, and the purchase of French berets. We find this portion of Activity lsle a very enjoyable place. Bam!

We are a group of islanders who have gathered on Activity Isle to organize a band, which this year consisted of ZI members under the direction of Mr. jezisek. We held a winter and spring concert, which we trust the islanders enjoyed. We also attended two festivals. A winter festival was held at the nearby port of Petoskey. Be- ing the closest and smallest band participating, it was our honor to begin the program. We were terribly nervous, but we were fortunate to draw a C rating. The spring festival consisted of marching and massed band activities under a famed director from Wisconsin. Our members hoped and prayed for uniforms, but because of insufficient funds we again wore our varsity sweaters and black slacks. We hope next year more islanders will take part in this group on Activity lsle. C750 'ZLLL First Row, left to right:-Ruth Ann Cooper, Kathleen Johnston, Phyllis McDonald.

There are quite a few of the islanders who enjoy singing, so they joined the Harbor Springs High School Chorus, under the direction of Mr. jezisek. On December l8, 1952 we sang at the chorus and band program for the P. T. A. On February 25, I953 we sang at the Kiwanis luncheon. March 23, I953 found us on our way to Traverse City to compete in the annual spring festival. Even though we did not earn a rating which would allow us to go down-state this year, we made a satisfactory appearance. Something new was added to our vocal department this year. Originating with the Senior Carni- val, the girls' sextette, composed of Ann lrish, Amie Larsen, Shirley Smith, Raye Kleinhenz, Wilma Gregory, and Opal Burdick, with Lee Kleinhenz as pianist, made many appearances. This activity was a lot of fun for some of the islanders and added interesting variety to Activity lsle. C7555 'Z .LEQJE 'Zi I First Row, left to right:-Harriet Kishigo.

We are a group of girls who spend quite a bit of our time on Athletic lsle, where we cheer for our basketball and football teams. We were chosen last fall by a group of teachers, but Shirley Smith, Harriet Kishigo, and Ann lrish were not able to remain with us all year as they were very busy keeping up with their schedules at Senior Peak. To remedy their absence, we combined the first and second team cheerleaders and took turns cheering for our first team players. Mancelona invited us to lunch with them once, and we were happy to accept their kind invitation. Uur task was not too difficult this year as we were privileged to cheer for the oft-time victorious team of our lsle. We received quite a bit of as- sistance from another group of Activity Islanders, the Pep Club, S v who planned pep meetings. They also asked the P. T. A. to donate money with which to finance lunches for the basketball players after our home games. We appreciated this help very much and they did several import- ant things for Activity island. 43 Kia 7S5x fhvS 5 J X .fwfifgfzci 51211113 2 Uvfm,lm K .cgcfioof Gqffgfsfic cigcfivifiaa Goo fgaff First Row. left to right:-Merlyn Schlosser.

This game is rough to play, but fun to watch. The Rams' record wasn't as successful as last year's, but the team made some improvements. The scores were closer this year. The Rams played their best game against Charlevoix, although they didn't win. Everyone was in good spirits and played good foot- ball. They were outscored, but not outplayed. Pontius, a left half for Harbor, gave the crowd a thrill when he ran almost the length of the field, out-running the fastest Rayder secondary men for a touch- down. The Rams were a well-balanced team that night. Several of our players received special recognition outside Athletina this year. The most outstanding of all was Frank Granstra, right end. Frank was unanimous choice for the all-conference all opponent, and northern Michigan teams, and was given a position on the all-state second team. Lewis johnson played his best games during his senior year, plugging up many holes with his enormous size. Lewis was chosen as a tackle on the all-conference team. Her- man Ross, guard, was given honorable mention among the all-con- ference players. Stan Pifer, left end, an excellent punter, was chosen on the all-conference second team. We deeply regret the loss of these senior islanders: Frank Gran- stra, Herman Ross, Ed Stolt, Elmer Ballou, Al Chingwa, Martin Moose King, and Lewis johnson.

Stanley Pifer. Carlton Seeley, Frank Granstra, Martin King. Coach Richard Boles. The Rams' basketball squad, under the guidance of a new leader, Coach Boles, were the most outstanding performers in the northern Michigan class C conference as they combined forces and compiled an impressive record of 8 wins and 6 losses, the best record the school has had in several years. Out of the 8 victories, Harbor top- pled Charlevoix, crushed class D Ellsworth's victory string of I3 and whipped East Jordan who were regional and district champs. They were finally stopped at the quarter finals. The Rams will not suffer severe losses by graduation, although their reserve strength will be depleted. Cranstra, all-conference forward, and Chingwa will be missing from next year's starting five. The reserve power will be hit by the loss of Stolt, King, and Ross who will also graduate this June.

Twenty men answered Coach Richard Boles' call for trackmen. Out of the twenty reporting, four were lettermen. They are: Leon Sterly, a dash-many Arden Bawkey and Chuck Taylor, dash-men and hurdlersg and jim lngraham, a 440-man and hurdler. Others who showed promise were -lim Herrick, lVlartin lVloose King, Kent Tal- cott, and Horace Bosma. The Harbor thinclads had quite a full schedule with several meets at other ports-Petoskey Relaysg Gaylord Triangular with Boyne, Gaylord, and Harbor, Charlevoix Triangular with Boyne, Charleviox, and Harborg Charlevoix Conference, Charlevoix Regionalg and Cen- tral Michigan Relays at Mt. Pleasant. Wed like to have seen more islanders participating in this activity, but our team made a good showing with the members who did take part. School Song.

The introduction of golf on Athletina lsland brought some sur- prising results and a keen interest. Coached by Mr. Edward Beer, last year's team placed third in the state tournament, which was the only meet slated for the Harbor golfers. This year, however, the boys found new opponents. Gaylord and Petoskey St. Francis agreed to play a home and home series. The Harbor team also participated in the state tournament which was held at Grand Rapids. . Since each team consisted of a squad of four members, Coach Beer had a problem in deciding who was to play. The team was composed of such golfers as Ed Stolt fsrj, Stan Pifer Vincent Keway fsr.J, and Al Chingwa fsrj. Alternates are Rodney Pontius fsophj, John Luettjohann fsr.Q, and Tom Clarke fsophj. unioz 046 5120161 Our junior high basketball games this year were played with Pellston, Petoskey, and Levering, each town being played twice. The eighth grade team members were Ed Mathews, Don Lauer, Don Arman, Eugene Greenier, Loren Greenier, Marvin Clayton, Phillip Elwanger, jerry Pemberton, Bob McGuire, and Doug Corey. The seventh grade players were Pete Graham, Richie Clarke, Dean Barnefiher, John Darrow, John Rinehart, Allan Allerding, David Halter, Billy Juilleret, Orville Hawk, and Mike Aldrich. The eighth grade team were unfortunate in losing all of their games. The seventh did a little better as they won one game from Levering. Although they lost many games, we have some very promising future high school players among these team members. Although the junior high cheerleaders were not picked until late in the season, they did their best to cheer the boys to victory in the last three games. The eighth grade cheerleaders were: Sharon Johnston, Pat Johnston, Imelda Lightfoot, Joan Gokee, and Deanna Bradley. The seventh grade cheerleaders were Donna Miller, Linda Ben- nington, Nancy Peters, Mary Cetas, and Edee juilleret. l 'wu- . .
