Hemlock High School - Huskie Yearbook (Hemlock, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 106 of the 1954 volume:

ULTI-USE ROOM I LETS ARCH ITKCTS dedication We the seniors of 1954 respectfully dedicate our yearbook, “Husky Memories”, to Mr. Bernard H. McKenna, who is resigning from the position of Superintendent to pursue his doctor’s degree. Mr. McKenna is a friend to everyone and has put forth untiring effort to improve the standards of Hemlock Rural Agricultural School. He has helped to make our school life not only a profitable but also a very happy experience. He will long be remembered by the many pupils whom he has helped in school for the under- standing and encouragement he gave them in his attempt to help them attain a successful future after their graduation. He will also be missed by his fellow faculty members. We only wish that future classes might benefit by his help and understanding. In memory of Barbara Helfrecft, who was taken from us on November 3, 1952. Barbara was a 6th grader and was born on July 19, 1942. There was always a glow of happiness around her that made everyone cheerful and they loved her very much. Barbara was always ready to help and quick to forgive. She is greatly missed by her classmates and teachers, and by all of her friends. in memory In memory of Ronald Rusmisel, whom we lost on August 21, 1953. “Ronnie” as he was known to his friends, was born on July 27, 1938. He was always willing to do a favor for any- one and had a quick smile that made everyone feel at ease. Ronnie was always happy and had a bright outlook on life. Everyone was his “Pal’'. He is missed by all his classmates and teachers, and will always be remembered with affection by his many friends. A boar6 of education LEFT TO RIGHT: Wilbert Preuss and George Wilt, Trustees; C. W.

After we weathered this, we began our high school days as sturdy do alls. We gathered a fine group of talent together for the annual Freshman Talent Show. This was the beginning of our bank account. Our class officers for that year were: President, Frank Rauchholz; Vice President, Gerald Fiting; Secretary, Jean Peters; Treasurer, Pat Rogers; Student Council, Norma Snyder and Glen Chapin. During this year we gained Virginia Betts and lost Richard Kaiser and Jean Peters. Then 1951 came around making us Sophomores and giving us a chance to take revenge on the Freshmen in initiation. Later on in the year we gave a barn dance to help our class fund. The class officers were: President, Frances Kohlhoff; Vice-President, Roy Burdo; Secretary, Jo Ann Van Bocxlaer; Treasurer, Glen Chapin; Student Council, Helen Wilt and Ray Burdo. We gained Ralph Barst and lost Patsy Jewell, Beverly Emeott, Jean Lake, Bob Rusmisel, Jack Sheler, Marilyn Varney, Donna Alexander, and Bonnie and Kay Shultz. As our junior year approached we found we needed a lot more money for the senior trip. Our activities for that year included a card party, bake sales, a Sadie Hawkins dance, and the Junior Play “Love is Too Much Trouble”. The highlight of our junior year was the Junior and Senior Prom with Moonlight and Roses as its theme. As is the custom, we closed the junior year activities by giving the Junior-Senior Banquet for theout-going seniors. Class officers for that year were: President, Wayne Kreager; Vice-President, Frank Rauchholz; Secretary, Judy Rockwell; Treasure, Dorothy Kaltenbach; Historian, Norma Snyder; Parlimentarian, Ralph Barst; Student Council, Donna Boruff and Frances Kohlhoff. We lost Ruth Burns, Donna Boruff, Lonzo and Rondy Cody, and Tom Smith. As we faced our senior year, 1953-54, we knew our financial situation needed attention, so we began a year of money-making activities. This included two suppers, a barn dance, juke- box dances after games, two bake sales, and a weekend of hard work at the new Standard Oil Station in Hemlock. We also gave a Senior play to help our finances. On May 24 we were re- warded with a trip to Washington D. C. The class officers for our last year were: President, Ray Burdo; Vice-President, Roy Burdo; Secretary, Judy Rockwell, Treasurer, Frances Kohl- hoff; Student Council, Frances Kohlhoff and Wayne Kreager.

You are about to witness one of the greatest events to occur in the year 1970. Everything is exactly as it will be'then except YOU ARE THERE! We take you now to the scene of this important event. Our cameras are located in the main entrance of the National Cathedral. The people are arriving and beginning to congregate. Oh, there comes a man we all know as the greatest sportscaster baseball has ever known. Let's stop him. “Mr. RAY BURDO, could you spare a minute to talk with us? How does it happen you’re here today? ” “Why, I’m an old classmate of the groom. He graduated from Hemlock High School in 1954, and he has invited all the members of his class to his wedding. “Hemlock? I heard that the famous TV star of “Life Is Worth Living If You Don’t Drive Too Fast , DONNA CRAVEN, came from there, too. “Yes, she did. From what I remember, her program is a follow-up of her high school days.” “Thank you, Mr. Burdo------A lot of guests have arrived during this interview. Let’s try to overhear the conversation between those two ladies. “Why, NORMA SNYDER, I haven’t seen you for at least 10 years. You must work your- self as hard as you used to. Are you still‘Nimble Norma’on the trapeze for the Big Top? “CONNIE WANLESSI Hello! Yes, I still perform and love every minute of it. Say, Connie, I heard you are helping Walt Disney out on his latest picture, “Gone with Windy Waddles.” You always could draw cute cartoons. Remember those pictures you drew of your favorite teachers? ” How could I forget them! Oh, look! There’s WAYNE KREAGER and FRANK KOLINSKI over there. I suppose you’veheardhow Wayne really makes money on his Used Car lot in Florida. And did you know that Frank quit teaching World Literature and became Waynes full partner? 1 guess Judge O’Neill was right when he said teachers are always broke. YOU ARE THERE May 17, 1970 “We’ll now switch to our second camera located in another part of the church. Here we find several guests who seem to be renewing old memories. As we turn on our microphones we hear JERRY LYNCH and RALPH BARST, two well-known politicians just endiqg a discussion on world affairs. Of course, you all know that Mr. Lynch is Michigan’s governor and Mr. Barst is our most popular representative.” “Well, Jerry, that’s enough on that subject. You know, I was talking to RAY HOWE a while ago, and he was telling me about his 1000-acre cattle ranch in Oklahoma. He uses his helicopter now to get from one field to the next, instead of the hot-rod he used to just fly low in.” “Yeah! I guess all those times we thought he was sleeping in school he must have been dreaming up a good future. I was talking to JACK BOZUNG, too. He owns a small garage back in Hemlock and has a lawn-mower sharpening business on the side. He was telling me that HELEN WILT and GLADYS KELLEY were sorry they couldn’t come. They’re both married now to their old steady beaus, and they couldn't find any baby sitters for their little monsters.” “Well, that’s the way it goes sometimes. Say, I heard that PAT ROGERS is one of the most dignified and clever models for ‘CHARM’ in New York. She sure has worked her way up the ladder. She started out for ‘Sears Roebuck’ back in 1956.” “Let’s go now to the sidewalk outside the church. We have discovered that our camera- man is from the Hemlock vicinity and knows several of the guests. Let's listen as he introduces more ot the grooms old classmates.” “Thank you, Mr. Bronchitus. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to meet a lady who is one of those that few appreciate but who is very important to our American democracy. Her name is MARY McCLELLAN and she is the Circuit Court Judge for the state of Michigan. “Next we would like you to meet VIRGINIA BETTS, the secretary to America’s best beloved tap dancer, C. Wilbur Wiggle. We have often heard Mr. Wiggle comment that she is in- valuable to him as a secretary, and that he would’t trade her for her weight in gold. “Driving up in a Jauguar we see two men who are in the motion picture field. Sorry to say they aren’t famous in themselves but they seem to have promising careers ahead of them. The first is GERALD KENNELLY, understudy to Slip Mahoney, leader of the lovable Bowery Boys. The second is JOSEPH HORNY. He’d like to be another Rudolph Valentino but he’s only an understudy to dashing Rock Hudson. Oh, there’s a lady I’m sure everyone would like to know. She’s VIRGINIA HORNY, chief chef at the ‘Brown Derby’, Hollywoods most famous night spot. Her specialty is cherry pie, and what cherry pie! There’s another big convertible pulling up. Whocould that be? Oh, that’s DONALD ANA- MAN. He must have just arrived home from his latest African safari. I heard his catch wasn't up to par this time; he only got 2 elephants, 2 apes, 4 lions, 3 tigers, and 4 giraffes! Now, here is a man of different character. I’d like you to meet Mr. ROY BURDO. For many years he has been the pride of Doyletown and was lately elected mayor of that fair city. “Also living in that town is our nextguest. Meet veterinarian ED GREENWOOD, the friend of the friendless. He’d rather treat a stray alley cat than hear about the aches and pains of any human. “We take you back now to Mr. Bronchitus.” “Thank you, Mr. Johnson, for letting us meet those interesting people. We shall take you back now to our first camera in the entrance of the church. There seems to be quite an interesting conversation going on between more of the guests. We’ll see if we can pick it up on our hidden mikes.” “CORINE LIEBROCK in the Lonely Hearts business! I never would have believed it I Will wonders never cease! ? ” “Well, GARY RICE, you sure haven’t got much to say. This country would be a gangster heaven if you ran the only detective agency. In all your ten years, I’ll bet you haven’t caught more than twenty criminals.” “Confidentially, haven’t caught any. I’m only Friday’s sidekick, what do you expect?” “Yes, I know. But, I’ve read in the ‘CHICAGO NEWS’ about what a great hero you are. Maybe that’s because FRANCES KOHLHOFF, the crime editor for that paper, does a little re- writing sometimes?” “Yes, she certainly does a good job. Talking about Chicago, did you know PATSY BROWN and SHIRLEY WENZEL are there, too? They're co-owners of a beauty shop down town. I think their mono is something like ‘Walk In Like An Old Hen, Walk Out Like A Slick Chick’. I guess just about every old hen in town has been there. “Yes, all our old friends are doing pretty well for themselves. Remember how JoANN VAN BOCXLAER was so active in 4-H work? Now she’s National 4-H Leader, and does nothing but sit behind a big desk and give orders. I guess DON SMITH is really up there too. His murder mysteries are the tops in the U. S. today. They’re even worse than “Horror Comics”. “I never read one, but they sound exciting I I saw JUDY ROCKWELL and DOROTHY KALTENBACH somewhere here today. I guess youknow they’re both in the Artie Shaw Orchestra. We’ll get a chance to see how good they are when they play later at the reception. “Yes, I knew they were in his band. Did you know that they played once at the Golden Glow, the old gang’s favorite hideout ? SHIRLEY SEIDEL, the owner, really has made it into a popular place for the whole state of Michigan. The night they were out there GLEN CHAPIN was the guest singer. He sure made himself famous by touring the country with the leading bands. All the teenagers in the country swoon when they hear him.” “I saw some more of our old friends today too. IRENE SAUVE finally got a day off to come. She is governess for the president’s children and hauls in the money. “And I saw ED HENRY, who just finished decorating the groom’s home. He is one of the best known interior decorators in the East. I heard he even decorated Lord George of Salisbury’s home in England. The last person I saw from home was ANN BALLINGASH. She’s a lieutenant in the WACS, and stationed at Fort Benny, Georgia. She said she is the General’s secretary. “Now, the wedding is about ready to begin, so we will take you to the chapel. There the bride and her attendants are waiting for the first strains of Lohengrin. The beautiful Dutchess of Berk- shire is dressed in white satin and carrying white orchids on her white Bible. “The groom’s attendants are coming out now. The first is JAMES PRETZER, an old friend of the groom and a mathematics professor at Yale University. Next is the best man, RICHARD WIETFELDT, another old friend, who is an insurance agent for Mutual of Omaha, in Nebraska. The minister has taken his position in front of the alter. He is the Reverend FRANK FREDERICK RAUCHHOLZ, of the Trinity Lutheran Church of Philadelphia. Before us now is the happy groom. In a few moments the knot will be tied, and the radiant couple will be--Mr. and Mrs. JAMES OLDENBURG!” “Sorry, but our time is running out. This is Walter Bronchitus signing off for this week. You have just witnessed headline news of May 17, 1970. Everything was as it will be then except: YOU WERE THERE The Graduating Class of 1954” Commencement The graduating exercises of the Hemlock Rural Agricultural School were held June 2, 1954, at 8:15 P. M. Thirty-nine Seniors were graduated on that occasion. The processional and recessional were played by Deanna Dorr. A vocal solo was given by Mrs. Richard Donaldson. Rev. Father McLaughlin gave the invocation and the benediction. Valedictory addresses were given by Donald Anaman and James Pretzer. The Salutatory ad- dress was given by Frank Rauchholz. The President of Alma College, Dr. John Stanley Harker, gave the address. Presentation of Diplomas was by Mr. Bernard H. McKenna, Superintendent, and Mr. Harry B. Donaldson, Principal. With their class motto, Within ourselves Our future lies , their class flower the red rose; and their colors, blue and white; these thirty-nine Seniors graduated. • Baccalaureate Baccalaureate was held on Sunday, May 30, 1954, at 8:00 P. M. Mrs. Almon Galloway played the processional and the recessional and accompanied the Methodist Choir in Hear My Prayer and Song of Peace . Rev. S. T. Bottrell conducted the Baccalaureate service. Class Night The Program presented June 1, 1954, by the Seniors was a mock class day when the new teacher takes over the class. Jim Pretzer has quite a time on his hands with his newly aquired position as teacher. Taming this group of students, (little devils), who would rather play then study turns out to be some job. In the end everything turns out ok and the students go home with their newly tamed teacher. Honored students, Donald Anaman, James Pretzer, and Frank Rauchholz were presented with pins at this time by Mr. Harry B. Donaldson, for their outstanding work. Mr. Harry B. Donaldson also presented Judy Rockwell with a scholarship to Michigan State College. TOP ROW: Edward Smith, Dorothy Rick, Erwin Zeitz, Ruth Pretzer, Paul Wardin, Marilyn Miller.

Declamations were to be finished in class in preparation for the local contest in the gym on March 4. But the day be- fore the contest, it was snowing, blowing, in fact the weather was such that there was no school. However, the next morn- ing we waded the mountains of white stuff, and arrived at school, some early, some on time, and a few late. Then the announcement--the speech contest would beheld. Only a few minutes to prepare! Could we be ready? We never knew exactly how, but at the appointed hour the five judges, Mrs. Virginia Fowler, Mr. Harry Donaldson, and Mr. Bernard McKenna, were seated in the gym; Mr. John Winter, the time keeper, was on hand with his stop watch; the students were in their places on the bleachers; and die stage-frightened contestants were saying last minute lines behind the curtains. In the declamation division, first place was given to Mickey Kennelly. whose speech was entitled --AND SUDDEN DEATH. Judy Fleminger won second place with LATE FOR A DATE. Warren Pettis did it again winning first in the interpretative reading group with THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY. Deanna Dorr was the runner-up using THE DEATH DISK. No orations were given.
