Season in Review
BIG RAPIDS-The Tigers started out
the season in great style, trouncing
Big Rapids 48 to O. lack Weisen-
burger, backed up by a charging
line, led the scoring with four touch-
downs.
SAGINAW - The next team to fall to
the dynamic Tigers was Saginaw.
The Valley eleven succumbed by a
score of 20 to O. lt was a revenge
game played on Phillips field.
HOLLAND-ln their first away-from-
home game the Tigers easily out-
classed the Dutchmen 26 to 6. Big
Pete Dendrinos went to town that
day-with a little help of course
from 10 other "guys"
FOBDSON-A tricky Fordson eleven
came to Phillips field and defeated
the Tigers for the first time 14 to 13.
Fordson later Went on to an unde-
feated season. Iust a hair's breadth
of luck would have won the game
for the Tigers. Of all points scored
against Pordson all season, the
Tigers made half. lt wasn't defeat.
We just lost 14 to 13.
AR AND C0-STA
KALAMAZOO-The Kalamazoo
Central Maroons brought a fine team
here and went home victorious, 19
to 7. It was the last time our captain
played to any extent until the Mus-
kegon game, for lack was hurt early
in the game.
GRAND HAVEN-The Buccaneers,
keyed to a fever pitch, began the
game at Grand Haven with a high-
powered attack that netted them a
lead of 21 to U. They managed to
outlast the famous Tiger last-half
drive, and won 21 to 13.
BENTON HARBOR-When Tiger
meets Tiger, the fur is sure to fly. lt
did, but a big, fast B. H. line and
McPike and Clupper, speedy backs,
spelled defeat to an injury-riddled
Heights eleven. The score: 28-U.
LUDINGTON-ln a warm-up on a
cold, rain-soaked gridiron, the Tigers
ran roughshod over a bedraggled
Ludington Oriole eleven to the tune
of 25 to O. A handful of fans re-
mained in the stands at the final
whistle. lt Was the wettest night in
local football history.
MUSKEGON-Score 6 to O. Guess
who. Nuff sed.

D. R. McKenzie
Coach
lt has been Mr. McKenzie's annual task here
since 1927 to mold a team out of new recruits.
He has done an outstanding job each year.
Our Little Tigers completed a
short but extremely successful
1943 season. For the seventeenth
time, Coach D. R. McKenzie de-
veloped a strong defensive team,
well drilled in fundamentals. The
Tigers Were victorious in four
out of five games, losing only to
a team which they had previ-
ously loeat, Muskegon. ln the
first three games, the Tigers
came through easily. Every man
stood out. lt was team-Work par
excelence.

Coach O. E. "Okie" lohnson developed an outstanding team
during the '43-'44 cage season, a power which tied the tall Kala-
mazoo Maroons for the Southwestern Conference title, Were
victors in the Regionals, and battled its way to the semi-finals
in State Class A competition. The first squad was especially
strong as a defensive team with a record ot 14 victories in l5
contests.
The varsity five was backed by ten extremely capable substi-
tutes, all ot whom received M-H awards. The caliber of ball
played by the "coordinated tive" is reflected in the honors they
earned. lack Weisenburger, forward, Francis Ribecky Cthis spell-
ing is correct, believe it or notl, guard, and Lyle Currie, guard,
:ill Were given All-Conference berths.

Five Veterans returned for the l944 baseball season to form a
fine nucleus around which Coach Oscar E. lohnson built the cur-
rent team. Henry Olah, sparkling fielder and consistent hitter
was chosen captain. He is a shortstop.
Other veterans returning were lack Weisenburger, a pitcher
and outfielder, Aut Mathews, first baseman, Vance Crane,
catcher, Wallace Wood, outfielder, Promising newcomers in-
clude among others: Ed Petrongelli, Larry Boone, Clarence Kins-
man, Iohn Polanyi, Don VanderWeele, Dale Aker, lim lohnson,
Leland Branch, and Richard Caughey.
When this section of the Oaks went to press, the Tiger nine had
played only one game this season, winning from Whitehall out
of town, 10 to 3. Weisenburger pitched a one-hitter. Other teams
on the schedule are Grand Haven, Holland, Kalamazoo, Muske-
gon, North Muskegon, Holton.
Although it is difficult to predict how the boys will perform at
this writing, there are indications of a strong team in the making.

With only four lettermen returning for the 1944 track season,
Coach David R. McKenzie, had a difficult job on his hands in
order to mold the Tiger thinclads into a strong, Well-balanced
team. At the time this section of the Oaks Went to press, it ap-
peared that "Mac" was doing very well.
The Tigers appear very strong in the track events but are no-
toriously Weak in field events. Lyle Currie is one of the most
promising milers in the state at this Writing. Dick Thomas, a
junior, has done very well in practice in the hurdles and Ioe
I-Iegedus, a junior, holds his own in the dashes. Larry Wing and
Don Iohnson have stepped off some fast times in the half-mile.
Bob Werner and Paul Cook have done some good Work in the 440.

The smell of hot oill The rumbling of
machines! A blinding flash as hot
molten metal is poured into a huge
mold! This is an American War plant,
Working for American freedom. This
plant is making guns to blow the Axis
into oblivion. Young boys are helping
out in these plants. These young men
come from high schools. Their training
in high school manual training classes
have qualified them for positions here.
Vocational training in high school in-
cludes: machine shop, mechanical
drawing, Woodwork, and printing.
Lathe operators, drill pressers, grinders,
designers, draftsmen, pattern makers,
and printers, all of these and others
besides are neded now in this War
effort. American high schools will pro-
vide them.

The field of scientific research is filled
with undiscovered secrets. It is Amer-
ica's answer to those who say the
"frontier" has disappeared. There must
be thousands, perhaps millions, of new
ideas waiting to be put into practical
use for the benefit of humanity.
High school students of today are
the scientists of tomorrow. Here in
school boys and girls are offered the
fundamentals of science necessary to
a preliminary study of engineering,
pharmacy, medicine, nursing, and re-
search. Courses in biology, physics,
chemistry, general science, and related
studies provide a background needed
by the Army and Navy, as well as by
workers on the home front. Science is
vital to everyday living, today and
always.

ln times like the present, many per-Q
sons raise the guestion, i'What good
will I get out of commercial Work?" But
it is true, perhaps in this War more than
in any other, that commercial Work is
of extreme importance both on the
hume front and the front lines.
All army camps and every good-
sized ship in the fleet need typists and
clerical Workers and equipment. The
need of ottice Workers at home is of
course obvious to all. Our high school
is taking the lead in "speeding up" effi-
ciency. New methods of typing are
saving much time. Commercial Work
will help you in War time or in peace
time.

The Concert Band
mic
Music has always played an impor-
tant part in the lives ot Americans.
Band music adds spirit to the high
school sports events and provides a
fine cultural addition to the curriculum.
Concerts in winter and sometimes in
summer help litt community morale. ln
war-time loands add the martial
emphasis to weary marching feet and
help the soldier to trudge that long
"extra mile." Many a man and woman
on the home front and in the army
camp has been encouraged and in-
spired by the strains of well-trained
bands. All ot us know the thrill that
comes with the tirst few bars ot our
national anthem.

Conservation of clothing these days
is almost as important as the conserva-
tion of food. Many young Women
throughout the nation, and Women
with families, are learning to make
their own clothes or re-style the ones
they have. But it is not only a war-
time economy measureg it can be used
in peace time as Well.
Clothing courses given here are
excellent. Much attention is paid to a
Working knowledge of fundamentals of
construction and design. "Good taste
in the field of art is the application of
the principles of design to the problems
of life Where utility as Well as beauty
is a consideration."

Today America is playing an impor-
tant role in the great War that reaches
around the globe. All ot our resources,
all of our energies, are tocused on one
single objective - victory. Men, ships,
guns, tanks, and planes aid our suc-
cess. But none ot these will contribute
more than food.
The food you serve must not only be
the proper kind, it must also be tasty
and interesting. Scientists speak of
proteins, vitamins, minerals, and fats.
Students foods classes understand him.
Under guidance ot Miss Cathryn

Q3 ysica! N dv
The government has required all
male high school graduates to have at
least half a year of physical training
in their senior year of high school. This
special course is required for one rea-
son: to get our young men into fine
physical shape before their induction
into the armed services. Too many
young men are unable to stand the
'lgattu of still military lite, and a pre-
liminary "get-in-shape" program is a
loig aid to the men and also to the army
or navy. ln the War-time battles, Where
lives are at stake, our government is
anxious to have our boys come out on
top. Those who are the loest trained
are the quickest to take advantage of
an enemy's mistake.
ln peace-time, the importance ot
good health is obvious.

Teaching
Let us raise up a standard to which
the wise and honest can repair.
- George Washington
From the beginning - when the
pioneers first cut a swath through the
wilderness - schools have been recog-
nized as essential. Our fathers held
schools to be the foundation stones of
democracy, for without literacy and
some competency no democratic insti-
tutions can long endure. The key to
education, however, lies with the
teacher.
Today thousands of good teachers
are leaving the profession of their
be of more value elsewhere, some to
choice, some in the belief they can
make more money, and others to enter
the armed services. Here is what one
teacher twho left teaching to go to
Washington, DC. on a "wartime, gov-
ernment job"J has to say:
"Every time l looked about me in
Washington, l could see the pages of
history unfold. l could see men like
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln,
and scores of others sweating and toil-
ing to create a nation. l could see the
value of human character in the up-
building of our country .... l am con-
vinced that the greatest contribution
I can make to my country is to prepare
them fthe eager youngsters who pass
in and out of my classroom doorsl for
the difficulties of their adult life. If in
the years of peace that follow this war
l am asked, "What did you contribute
toward our victory?" I shall be glad
and proud to answer, "l was a teacher."

Mr. W. B. Booker, our superintendent of schools, is an able,
efficient executive. He is recognized as such throughout the state
of Michigan. You may be interested to know that he comes from
the "land of the Hoosiers," -the state of Indiana. He was super-
intendent in Greenville before he came here a decade and a
half ago. He once taught in the English department at Kalama-
zoo college. In civic affairs and professional advancement he
is continually doing things "over and beyond the call of duty."
He is a director of the Michigan Education association at Lansing
and is a member of the local Ration Board.
But that is not what We wish most to say here. We Want every-
one to know that our superintendent really is a fine man. He is
big, Warm-hearted, kindly. ln a word, Mr. Booker Cor "Bill" as
he calls himselfl is human.

TACK WEISENBURC-ER
President
In Line of Duty
by lack Weisenburger
We of the Class of l944 are going to be called upon to take
part in the gigantic task facing all free peoples of the World. Last
year the graduates of our school left with one objective in mind:
to find their places in helping to win the War on the battlefields of
the World. Today that victory seems more of a certainty, but our
job consequently has become even greater.
Today We fight for freedom - freedom of speech, press,
religion, and freedom from political oppression. Once We attain
these freedoms We must preserve them. You members of the
Class of 1944 are ready to take your places in line of duty. Set
your goal high. Make your effort supreme. In doing so, you will
help the World to build a freedom and a peace for all.

One of the first of the smaller nations to fall before the rising
tide of I-litlerisrn was brave little Czechoslovakia. lust as the
leaders of this country have always fought against racial and
political groups subversive to the best interests of the nation, so
today the Czechs fought against their enemies the invaders.
The Czechs are aswell educated people. There are almost no
illiterates in the country-unless they are Nazisl The Czech
mind is especially gifted for scientific research. ln the Czecho-
slovakian Constitution are specific provisions guaranteeing the
rights of all citizens. With everlasting strength and faith in God,
these Czech folk will some day rise again.

This brave nation early in the War Was subjected to the most
terrible punishment at the hands of the Nazi armies. Already,
however, as this is being Written, the soldiers of the Soviet armies
of Russia are pushing their Way across Old Poland. What dis-
position Will be made of Poland, today a much-trampled-upon
country, no one knows. It is the hope of many persons of Polish
descent who live here that Poland can be re-established as a
unified nation once more. Primarily an agricultural country,
Poland has considerable mineral Wealth. Its people were very
interested in education and the arts. Some day Poland and its
fine traditions must be restored.

REQUIEM
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did l live and gladly die,
And l laid me down with a Will.
This be the verse you grave for me:
Here he lies where he longed to beg
Home is the sailor, home from the sea,
And the hunter home from the hill.
- R. L. Stevenson
gn fha Service A service flag for Muskegon Heights High School was recently
created by members of the Girl Reserves club, of which Phyllis
Chapin Cleftl is treasurer and Betty Boelkins Crightl is president.
The flag is our small Way of paying tribute to the hundreds of
Muskegon Heights boys and girls who are doing their loyal part
in Winning the War. Some have already made the supreme
sacrifice and to these brave men we are forever in deepest debt.
Their names, engraved in the hearts of local students and faculty,
are Withheld at this Writing because of the uncertainties of War
from day to day.
We cannot possibly express our sorrow for these brave men.
ln truth, it is almost beyond comprehension. Yet their deeds of
loyalty shall forever shine forth in our memories in the years to
come, reminding us that We, too, "can make our lives sublimep
and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time."

Western Michigan, probably more than some other parts of
the United States, was staggered by the invasion of The Nether-
lands by the Huns early in this war. The Netherlands had always
been an agricultural country inhabited by people who were
hard working, clean living villagers with a deep belief in liberty.
Now this peaceful nation is in the hands of Nazi soldiers who
have taken the produce of Dutch farms to feed their own starving
Germany. Little do they care, it seems, for those in Holland who
may also be in need of food. To restore the Netherlands is
another aim of the United Nations. The Dutch are hopefully look-
ing forward to the day when their nation will be free. '

This kingdom of two million and a half persons occupies that
portion of the Scandinavian peninsula which lies west and north
of the ridge of the Kiolen mountains. lt, too, fell a victim to the
Nazi hordes. Noted for its scenic beauty, this "land ot the mid-
night sun" is a lumbering and fishing center. llliteracy in Norway
is almost unknown. Warm ocean currents flowing past the coast
warm the country so that even northernmost I-lammeriest has a
mean temperature higher than that of New York. This brave
land must be liberated from the grasp of the Hun.

Greece, once the country of culture and refinement, the Very
center of art, science, and literature in the entire World, now is
overrun by Nazi tyrants who apparently have no appreciation
of all of the beauty and power they are destroying. To prevent
this barbarous destruction of the most Worthwhile things in lite is
the aim of the United Nations today. To help to preserve what is
left and restore what has been desecrated -that is our purpose
in this War. That Greece, with its temples and statues, philosophy
and science, its democratic ideals and its amateur sports, should
fall into ruin is unthinkable. Greece represents the highest ideals
ot civilized living. lt is a symbol of anti-Nazism. Greece will
return.

A NEW LIGHT FOR EDUCATION
By Robert Wenger, Valedictoriarx
The time has at last arrived when we
must leave these halls to take our
respective places in society and adult
life. We leave, knowing full well that
we must face a troubled and discon-
tented world. This fact makes the value
of education have special significance
and it becomes clearly evident that we
have been offered a priceless oppor-
tunity that will prove to be of lasting
benefit throughout our life.
lndeed-for an opportunity has
been offered us, not only to increase
our knowledge, but to provide for us, a
richer, fuller life and a better under-
standing of mankind. Furthermore, we
have come to realize the true worth of
democracy and the principles for
which it stands. All of our happiness,
ideals, and every goal for which we
strive, depends upon the maintenance
of this democracy - a democracy that
was and only can be established
through the ambitions, courage and
knowledge of an enlightened people.
Ours then must be a strong nation
made up of a people strong in knowl-
edge, inspired by a love of liberty and
justice, and filled with a courage equal
to that of those who gave their lives to
preserve these principles which they
believed right.
Many times has the strength of our
nation been tested. And so it is again.
And so must we again face this solemn
du ty-a duty that is placed within our
hands and within the hands of thou-
sands like us throughout this vast land.
We have then a twofold responsi-
bility-that of forever crushing these
tyrant-ruled nations, which are con-
tinually threatening the rights and
privileges of all free men, and that of
protecting our posterity by creating a
final, lasting peace.
The education gained here and the
added appreciation for the principles
of government will better enable us to
face these tasks lying ahead. We shall
take increased pride in knowing that
We have extended to numerous nations
the world over, the true spirit of democ-
racy, with its guarantee of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness, and all
the remaining high ideals which repre-
sent the greatness that is America.

President
The Iunior Class held its annual dance in the high school gym-
nasium and a very pleasant evening Was enjoyed by all who
attended. President loe l-legedus selected the committees and
others volunteered to help make it a huge success. Frank
Lockage and his band gave out with a variety ot tunetul ditties.
Co-chairmen were lean Wurtz and Cornell Winnick.
ln the spring the luniors presented the annual class play. This
year it was 'llunior Miss," by Chodorov and Fields. Directed by
Miss Iulia A. Royse and Eugene W. Gillaspy, it played to a large
house and almost brought it down.
As a iinale, the Iuniors played and romped with the seniors at
the annual picnic and "send-oft." All in all, it Was a big year,
considering everything.

PHIL MCKEAN 2 -
Although the tenth grade class is the "lowliest" class in school
from the standpoint ot classification in Mr. Bolt's ottice records,
nevertheless the Sophs Were neither "green" nor "lowly" at any
time. In tact, they gave promise of becoming even greater than
the greats of this year's mighty graduating class.
The Sophs made a good choice in selecting Phil McKean for
president. And they didn't tall down when they asked Austin
Craymer to help him. They really hit a high point when they
chose Bette Thomas, secretary, Larry Boone, treasurer, and Iames
Dotson, sergeant-at-arms. Our advisers were Mr. Dorman Post
and Mr. Elmer Ojala.
On April 28, the Sophs held their big party ot the year, "The
Pastel Prom," in the gym. Peggy Pedler and Helen Leist were
co-chairmen.

"Resolved, that the World should be policed after the War by
a reconstituted League of Nations" Was the state debate question
of the past season. As in previous years, our school debaters
were highly successful. The negative team Won three debates
out of four in competition with others in this district including
Grand Rapids Union and Muskegon. Our team tied for top
honors. Much of the credit goes to Miss Iulia A. Royse and Mr.
Eugene W. Gillaspy, debate coaches, for their splendid leader-
ship.
Personnel of the teams included Doris Workman and Tom Sey-
ferth, negative, Patricia McKean, Harriet Hague, and Iohn Knopf,
affirmative, and Gloria Anderson, Billie Brady, Yvonne Rogoski,
Cornell Winnick, and l-larry Robinson.

Muskegon Heights Tigers did not top the Southwestern Con-
ierence during the '43 season, but they did the next best thing:
they downed the Muskegon Big Reds in a climax game at Hack-
ley Stadium, upsetting all the "dope" and sending a thrill through
thousands ot fans - a thrill which will probably tingle forever.
Muskegon entered the garne a big favorite. The Reds had
worked the tricky T-formation to a or factor which made them
victorious in many close battles. li was the teamwork displayed
by the Tigers that upset the Reds. lack Weisenburger led the
Tigers to victory, his smashing drives and brilliant support by
his team-mates stopped the Muskies cold. lack drove in the
only touchdown ot the game although the Tigers were on their
way to a second counter when the whistle ended the game.
