Clam! .Hia tory The mighty crew of 53 started their second lap of the voyage in the first cabin of the mighty S.S. Cruiser as seventh graders. Full of pep and vigor the deck scrubbers were 34 strong with Miss McLaren as Chief Officer. The crew consisted of: N. Faust, B. Begole, M. Guenther, R. Menzel, H. Graf, L. Finch, C. Hinderer, J. McCoy, L. Weidmayer, J. Cook, G. Swovland, N. Jantz, D. Bredernitz, M. Murray, J. White, J. Hocking, M. Doubleday, M. Tower, K. Beasley, M. Brandt, V. Corl, J. Patrick, R. Miller, K. Braun, B. Tower, B. Leutheuser, P. Rogers, B. Sevey, N. Woods, S. Sanderson, R. Finkbeiner, E. Moehn, D. Elfring, and K. Howell. Our first experience in working as a crew was organizing our booth at the fair selling pop and candy bars, and baiting the hooks in the fish pond. We also had many class parties which kept Miss McLaren on the go to keep track of us. As our chief officer instructed us to move our little crew to the next cabin, we were excited about having many newcomers. F. Hilge, H. Hanson, D. Marion, B. Kreager, J. Bennett, C. Feeman, E. Meske, C. Englehart, and M. Luckhardt took anchor in our cabin. But we were unhappy to find we had lost R. Menzel, M. Doubleday, J. Patrick, and K. Howell. Already thinking of our Senior trip, we began working hard to make money. It was fun making candy to sell at noon to the other students and it also built up our treasury. To add a little fun to our toil, we had a roller skating party. Miss McLaren worked just as hard as we did and was al- ways ready for fun. We all loved her and wondered how she put up with us. In the fall of '49 we proudly marched to school as the mighty Freshmen. We found our total enrollment had reached 62. Those who joined us were: E. Rogers, J. Hoeft, L. Hafemeister, M. Clouse, I. Trinkle, D. Klumpp, L. Drake, M. Butler, J. Gleason, J. Braun, W. Rhoades, A. Gilbert, J. Klumpp, G. Burns, E. Cammet, D. Hoeft, K. Burmeister, J. James, J. Graf, R. Shaun, C. Apple- gate, R. Menzel, D. Elfring, and B. Strickland. The crew was made fewer in number by G. Swovland, K. Beasley, B. Kreager, R. Shaun, and C. Applegate leaving. We started out the year's activities by having a big Halloween party in the barn of one of our classmates, John McCoy. With a hayloft above, holding many surprises, we kept Miss McLaren on the go climbing up and down after us. This year marked the beginning of our annual talent show, in which the talent was chosen only from our class. This was our big project to help earn money for the Senior trip. Still energetic and full of pep, we entered Senior High. This.year D. Hoeft, M. Butler, S. Shultz, C. Feeman, P. Hopp, R. Shaun, C. Applegate, J. Bennett, and V. Corl left us. Farewell parties were given for J. Bennett, B. Strickland, S. Shultz, and V. Corl. We were lucky to have a booth at the fair donated to us, so we could have a fish pond and sell home-made candy. Our partnership with the Seniors in helping put on the Christmas dance entitled The Holly Hop did not prove to be very successful. Again we sold home-made fudge to the students as a money making project. We also presented another talent show, but this time dis- played talent from grades 7-12, and awarded prizes for the most talented. We were happy to find this highly successful. With class parties scattered through our activities, who could ask for a more eventful year. The beginning of our Junior year found us with a class of- 49 students. The activities, that we as Juniors, were credited with were first, the football concessions in the fall. We also served the Milk Producers Banquet and Rotary Dinner which both proved to be successful. Oh, yes, then came the Junior Play Men Are Like Streetcars. This project helped us to get better acquainted with our classmates, while at the same time, it also put money in our treasury. Before the year had passed we managed to squeeze in a Talent Show. When the year was nearly at an end, we found that there were 46 left in our class. Patricia Rogers, Beverly Sevey, and Marlou Luckhardt had left us. In returning for our last year, we were unhappy to find that we were minus a sponser. Miss McLaren, who had worked with us and also enjoyed our fun since the seventh grade, did not return to enjoy the final goal we had worked for. Sitting in her place was Mrs. Haswell, who willingly gives her time and effort, to help us prepare for the final goal. In our Senior year we were joined by three newcomers: Jim Jacobs, John Robson, and Paul Harbecke, We were very proud to have as one of our classmates, Paul Harbecke, a German ex- change student, whom we all love and admire. We have enjoyed listening to his many intriguing experiences and interesting details about his native country. This was a busy year in reaching the final goal, which was making that last dollar for the Senior trip. Our class enjoyed a field trip down to the First National Bank in Detroit, accompanied by Mr. Ford and Mr. Kaarsberg. We will always remember Mr. Ford's warning: Remember, Seniors, not over 50! As we take our last stride down the halls of Saline High, we look back on our Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior years with pleasure, and wish all the fun we have had to the Seniors of the futureg ln hopes that they find it as thrilling as we did. 18 5.
