Not only a good student, Donna has been active in many school activities and was editor of the 1947 Cardinal. Salutatorian honors go to Barbara Linhart. Barbara came to Portland High School from Sunfield in the fall of 1946. Although with the class only a year, she made a place in the group not only by her scholastic record but by her friendly and cooperative nature. Page Ten President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary BEVERLY HAMILTON BILL BRIGGS HELEN WOHLSCHEID BETTY SNOW CLASS HISTORY Four years ago this class of °47 began their studies and activities at P.H.S. The result of our class election was: Maxine Fedewa, President; Pat Hunt, Vice-President; Betty Snow, Secretary; Helen Wohlscheid, Treasurer. Our sponsors during this year were Mr. Lee and Mr. Steube. By the end of the year we were all feeling pretty proud of ourselves. In the fall of 45 we started our Sophomore year with an election which made Helen Wohlscheid, President; Maxine Fedewa, Vice-President; Marilyn Martin, Secretary; Tom Backhurst, Treasurer. Our Assembly Program was a real success. Miss Larson became our sponsor for the next three years. Our Junior Class officers were: Tom Allen, President; Beverly Hamil- ton, Vice-President; Marilyn Martin, Secretary; Helen Wohlscheid, Treas- urer. The main events were the Junior-Senior Banquet, J-Hop, and Junior Play, ““Here Comes the Prince.” In the fall‘of 46 our class officers were: Beverly Hamilton, President; Bill Briggs, Vice-President; Betty Snow, Secretary; Helen Wohlscheid, Treasurer. The Senior Play, “Sitting Pretty’, the Senior Prom, and the Year Book were our main accomplishments for this year. Page Eleven MARGARET ADGATE “Foremost in the ranks of fun.’ Debate 4; Speech 4.

The members of the class all have definite fields they wish to enter. Let us see how they have made out in 1957. Margaret Adgate is following in the footsteps of her mother and now has 26 pupils in her little red school house. Tom Allen is now a full fledged photographer and is taking pictures for the 1957 edi- tion of the Cardinal. Maxine Fedewa is now Editor of the Portland Review and Observer. Guess she got her experience from the Portlight. Bethel Barrus has just signed with MGM to do a new show, “A Pill in a Jeep.” Bob Baker is now President of the P. P. A. (Poker Players of America.) Tom Backhurst now has a fleet of taxi cabs running from Mulliken to Portland. Al- ways sure of a ride, uh, Tom? Bill Briggs is now a song plugger. His latest is “Open the Door, Richard.” David Bills is repairing typewriters for the Underwood Typewriter Co. We remember when he used to pound one at P. H. S. Beverly Hamilton is now Head Librarian at the Portland Public Library. Mrs. Rey- nolds finally retired. Dorothy Higgins has just advanced to head cashier at Estill’s in Lansing. Helen Huhn is celebrating her 10th anniversary as a model housewife. Betty Hyland is designer for the new Motion Picture Studio, Buggs Bunny, Inc. Dick Megarah has at last found the woman of his dreams and spends his evenings at home reading the paper. Leo Spalding finally got a partnership in the Hi-Speed Gas Station. It was a long, hard struggle, wasn’t it, Leo? Graydon Ward is really in there pitching for the Detroit Tigers now. Harvey Wood, after a startling performance in the Senior Play, is now drawing a plan to find the exact spot where the villain should fall in a forth coming Broadway play. Walt Padbury has replaced Van Johnson in the hearts of the American girls, freckles and all. Donna Trierweiler is now head nurse at St. Lawrence Hospital. Merwin Baum is now hauling gravel between Lowell and Portland. We hear he makes quite a stop off in Lowell. Doris Barber has now started her own roadside lunch especially for truck drivers. Pat Hunt is now modeling for those ads “It’s more fun to be a mother than a model” in the Woman’s Home Companion. Betty Snow is still traveling around this big world. Every once in awhile we get a post card from her. (Remember when Portland used to bore her?) Barbara Linhart is now President of Arizona University. Quite a big job for such a little girl. Page Twenty-two PROPHECY (Continued) Marilyn Martin has settled in Ionia with her one and only from Saranac. Memories? Donna Smith is an understudy for Bette Davis after a great performance in the Senior play. Lois Smith spends her spare time in her counting house counting all the little Bills. Viola Smith, the new manager of Pierce’s Grill, is still trying to put up those signs saying the pin ball machine is out of order but it still doesn’t do any good. Lorrain Spitzley now has full permission to open the vaults at the bank without an escort. Marian VanPolen is the new assistant manager of the J J Store and is working for her next promotion. Helen Wolhscheid is head hair dresser at Warner Bros. Her latest victim is Cass Daley. Harold Dennie has finally caused Tommy Dorsey to retire. Guess Tommy was no match for Peanut. Cristy Fandel is now head of the stock show at the Ionia Free Fair. Roman Feldpausch has just won acclaim as the heavy weight champion of the boxing world. Gerald Gilbert is this year head speaker at the F. F. A. Convention at Kansas City. Alfred Goodrich is head of the sa’es department of the Goodrich Tire Co. Burdette Goodwin spends quiet evenings at home still trying to catch up on some of those Good Housekeeping magazines that Joyce got when she was a Senio r. Norman Herzog has just left for Norway as the “Blonde Swoon Boy of 1957.” Ernest Seldon is now foreman of the stock room at Fisher Body. Dick Smith now has the world’s largest fleet of lumber trucks under his supervision. Beverly Moyer is chief cook and bottle washer in the best little drive-in Eagle, Clinton County, Michigan, ever had. Harold Higgins is still competing with Alger and Pete for you know who. John Smith has just issued a book on the “Finer Arts of Frying Hamburgs.” Earl Fritts is now a standin for Tyrone Power in his latest picture, “L’Mour on a Desert Island.” Rose Disch has taken over the advice to the Lovelorn column in the Portland Review. Mona Mae Luce is superintendent of all Michigan Baptist Sunday Schools. Ruth Miller is Sunfield’s social leader as the wife of Mayor Erdman. Rose Mary Schaefer is manager of Portland’s new 11% story Department Store. Phyllis Pline has now established her own beauty salon in Portland. Lcuis Melbourne is now a real estate agent, but handles only farms. Dick Sandborn is driving a school bus for good old P. H. S. Page Twenty-three Page Twenty-six JAUNTY JUNIORS The third year in High School is a year of great activity for any class. This year’s Junior class was no exception. Several dances, the Junior play, the Prom, and the Junior- Senior banquet rounded out a busy year. A new system of class government was inaugurated with the election of a council consisting of 20 persons to act as a steering committee.

Buck STUDENT COUNCIL This year our Student Council, under the guidance of Miss Wilcox, became a member of the National Association of Student Councils. The outstanding contribution of this group to the growth of our school was bringing the constitution up-to-date, thus assuring a more democratic form of nominating and electing class representatives and Student Council officers. This changed constitution also makes possible a larger and more representative membership through the addition of representatives from the various school organizations. The Student Council participated in many activities for the betterment of the school. The council sponsored presenting honor awards to students outstanding in scholarship, citizenship, and school activities at our Honor Assembly in May.
