CHAPMAN - A MASTER TEACHER This Volume is Respectfully Dedicated The last clear call has sounded for our friend and counselor, Master Teacher, Edwin R. Chapman. For 28 years he had been the spirit of science in our high school. Most of those years he had been the kindly adviser for the senior annual. He was the seniors' choice. They recognized in him that sterling quality of appreciation and dignity of work, of accomplishment without ostentation. His work, his school, his boys and girls were his life. He believed in them, and they in him. It was mutual confidence in each other, a character trait we need so much in this post-war world. The students in Mr. Chapman's classes learned more than physics and chemistry, they learned the true values of life itself. No student problem was too trifling for him to recognize. Somehow, he always understood and knew what to say and do. His heart was big enough for all. Mr. Chapman was not in the best of health during the last few years. He could have retired. However, he kept on teaching because as he said, I love to teach. It is my lifef' Truly, it was. We sympathize with his loved ones in their irreparable loss. We know something of the hurt in their hearts, because we, too, have lost a real friend, a Master Teacher, Edwin R. Chapman. 5 INTROD U G a 6 Here's Woody, brainchild of the Pines Board and the Artists, to conduct you thro' the 1947 Pines.

FOOTBALL, 1946 To open the season, the Trojans traveled to Grand Rapids, and were handed a jarring setback by the big Union Red Hawks. Being the season's opener for both teams, the game resulted in numerous fumbles and poor block- ing. The game ended With a 2 Sto O score for Union. Red Kaley sparked the backheld, assisted by Tom Weede, Royce Kephart and Ken Hicks in the line. In their first Conference game, the Trojans displayed much better ball handling and blocking. However, the team's running attack failed in their several scoring chances. Actually out-playing Mt. Pleasant, they just couldn't cash in on enough touchdown chances. Kaley saved the team from another whitewash by crossing the goal line in the first quarter and Weede converted. Hampered by the loss of three first-stringers, the Black and Gold met defeat in their first home game with the Soo Blue Devils. The teams provided the fans with an exciting 7-6 game going into the fourth quarter, but the Cooper to Crawford passing combination turned the game into a 21-6 rout. Kaley's heave to Duane LaBar was good for 45 yards and the lone Trojan score. CContinued on page 78D 77 iilf J. GREILICK G. KALEY C. ARNOLD A. TITHOF R.

Red Kaley took the pigskin into paydirt after a series of running plays, and kicked the all-important extra point to give Traverse its victory over its old rivals. The Black and Gold forward wall played heads-up football, smothering the Viking running and passing attack time and time again. The Ludington Orioles put together the Crawford-Grant running com- bination and took home their third straight victory over the Trojans by a score of 33 to 18. junior Duane I.aBar reeled OH a 58-yard run for the most spec- tacular play of the game, making the score at half-time, 15-12.

Such aggressive football as this was played by the Black and Gold throughout the campaign. Manistee's expert dropkicker, Buchanan, split the uprights after the Blue and Gold's touchdown to give his team a meager 7 to 6 victory. The only Trojan score came in the fourth period on Kaley's pass to LaBar. The try-for- point was also a pass, but fell incomplete. Statistics showed a definite rushing and passing edge for the Black and Gold, but games just aren't won on statistics. Against Manisteeys heavier line, the Trojan forward wall again played excel- lently. CContinued on page 805 79 L. MCFARREN D. NORTON K. SLEDER L. CULMAN K.

Agres- sive guard Tug Boursaw fell on a blocked kick to score the first touchdown In the second and third periods Kaley scored easily after repeated line smashes by Griffith and Mauer had brought the ball inside the five-yard line. Their ground attack clicking with machine-like precision, Alpena's husky Wildcats steam-rollered the Trojans to register a 45 to 6 triumph. Alpena's big line smothered every offensive effort of the Trojans, limiting them to one hrst down. Red Kaley saved the team from another Whitewash in the final minute by twisting his way into paydirt from the 13-yard line. 80 1 .

Red Hot Red Kaley paced the Black and Gold scoring with 22 points. Playing their first home game of the season, the Trojans racked up their second victory by edging out a strong Grand Rapids Union quintet, 21-18. The Class A Redhawks held the local scoring down to three players as Louis Culman led the winners with eight points. Keeping their winning streak intact, the Trojans pulled a last-half rally to win over the Big Rapids Cardinals, 32-24. Pivot man Clayton Arnold broke into the scoring race for the Hrst time as he racked up 13 points. The Trojans extended their winning streak to four as they edged out a fighting Wilcat crew, 33 to 32. Arnold put the game on ice with a last minute free throw. The Black and Gold continued their winning ways as they easily trounced a hapless Viking quintet, 37-29. Coach Menzel substituted frequently, enabling the majority of the squad members to get into the scoring column. Clayton Arnold hir the nets for 15 points. Continuing their dominance over schools outside the league, the Centralites rhumped the Sault Ste. Marie five, 36-27. The visitors' large array of veterans failed to halt the Trojans who coasted to an easy win over the northerners. In winning their seventh straight, the Trojans had to stave oif a last quarter rally by the Orioles of Ludington to protect an early lead, but went on to win, 30-27. Gerald Kaley brought home scoring honors with 9 points. The Black and Gold staged a last half scoring spree to win easily over Trojans 16-11 at the half. Rough play dominated the game ,and the Trojans starred at the free throw line.

LARDIE C, ARNOLD Forward Guard Guard Center the entire game in an easy 29-18 win from the smaller Manistee Chippewas. Kaley led the scoring with 10 points. In their second season tilt with the Vikings, the Cadillac team came to life and led the Trojans for three quarters of the game. The Black and Gold finally started hitting the nets, however, in the final quarter to score 18 points and go out in front 45-41. The return match with Manistee resulted in an easy win, 32-16. Superior ball handling and height provided the margin of victory. Junior Len Tafelsky's 9 points led the scoring. Without Red Kaley, who graduated after the first semester, the Trojans were served a jolting 26-18 defeat at Alpena. The local's constant barrage of shots somehow failed to swish the nets and they were forced to bring home their first defeat of the season. The Men of Troy put the first North Central Conference basket ball championship on ice after defeating Mt. Pleasant's Oilers the second time, 30- 23. The game was marked with many fouls and the referees were called upon 82 wry? 5 p y' y . yn, fi A j P I.. TAFELSKY rl. WILSON GREILICK D. LA BAR Center Forward Forward Forward to break up many arguments. Jack Greilick came through with 9 points to lead the Trojan scoring. Invading the Upper Peninsula, the Trojans met their second and last defeat of the regular season's schedule. The Soo looked more like Class A competition should as they hung up a 43-29 victory. The Trojans turned on the heat in all four quarters to win going away in the return encounter with Ludington and coppecl an easy 44-30 win. Guard Louis Culman led the locals in scoring with 12 points. The Men of Troy proved they were equally strong in the second Petoskey tilt and walloping the Northmen, 44-28. This victory kept intact a string of twenty-three scheduled games won from Petoskey withtgtt a loss.

Entering tournament play the Trojans drew Petoskey for their first oppo- nent and blasted them with a convincing 46-29 score. In the hotly contested fracas 29 fouls were called on the losers which enabled the locals to again show their accuracy at the free throw line. Culman and Greilick were high scorers with 12 and 10 points, respectively. The Black and Gold's further title hopes vanished in the final second of the Rogers City encounter as a substitute swished a long shot from midcourt. The Trojans were handicapped at the end by the loss of regulars Tafelsky and Arnold who had left the game via the foul route. The Final score was 24-23. 84 9 .

The most outstanding of the victories was the Regional Meet at Cadil- lac in which they edged out Ludington, Petoskey and the host team. Larry Babel starred for the Black and Gold, picking up 14 of the 61 points in the Regional event. Other major point-getters were Red Kaley, Carl Lem- cool, and Larry Garthe. Two Thirlby Field records were broken. In the half- mile, Si Lemcool covered the distance in 2:09 as compared to the former 2:1O.4. Red Kaley cleared the high jump bar at 5 feet 8 inches. Coach Brannock and his assistant coach, Franklin Russell, will have only a few veterans back to work with in 1947. However, several transferees from down state are expected to strengthen the team considerably in the distance runs. Five meets with excellent competition will be engaged in this season. 86 BASEBALL With Coach Menzel at the helm, Trojan diamondmen enjoyed a highly successful l946 season. Employing Jerry Fouch on the mound and Ward Wehr behind the plate, it was found that opposing batters fanned the air quite consistently. The battery was backed up by Lanky Don Foote at first base, who was often on the receiving end of a double play combination from Herb Prouty and Duane LaBar. Jerry Culman handled the hot spot around third base. Thanks to Jerry Pouch, Trojan outfielders had a comparatively easy job. But out in left field catching an occasional fly ball was Bill Pouch. He was supported by Ken Darrow in center. Richard Schreiner covered the right field slot and pisked up a few overthrows to first base. The 1947 squad will be under the direction of Coach William Gerard. Many veterans will be back to serve the new coach and they are expected to carry on last season's fine performance. Several good games have been sche- duled which will give the experience of the team a chance to show its worth. 87 Coach Howard, Fennell, J. Bay, Baynton, R. Bay, Keyes TENNIS Although dropping two out of three meets in the spring of '46, the net squad gained valuable experience for the '47 season. Coach Edmund Howard has all six lettermen back, which should serve as a warning to all foes. Some difficulty has been encountered in securing courts on which to practice, but home contests have been scheduled with Cadillac and Frankfort before the regional tournament. .1-ki. GOLF The '46 Black and Gold linksmen were hampered by inclement weather throughout the season, but turned in a very satisfactory record under the coach- ing of Harold Andreas. The squad included Clyde Graichen, Philip Hoover, Jack Lichty, Dean Stover, and William McCort. With the exception of the first and last men named, all will be on hand in '47. This year's coach is Irving Menzel, and the squad will have the use of the Traverse City Golf and Country Club fairways and greens. 88 Wiffglpfk G. A. A. ACTIVITIES At the first meeting of the G. A. A. on September 25, 1946, officers were elected: President, Mary Lee Strubleg vice-president, Norma Core, secretary, Gerry Gilmore and treasurer, Jackie Boyd. The main goal that every girl tries to reach, is her l,000 point letter award, although some girls are out just for the sports. Among the activities participated in, Volley-ball, Basketball, Bowling, Baseball, and Badminton are the favorites. Rules are strict, and very high standards in sportsmanship are required for all the girls. No more than three absences are allowed from any one sea- sonal sport. Teams are chosen and each team elects its own captain. Records are kept of their standings, and contests are held for the different games. One night a week the girls participate in bowling leagues downtown at Traverse City Recreation Bowling Alley. This year the G. A. A. sponsored a dance at the high school to raise money to put in their treasury for the club next year. G. A. A. awards for the girls who earned their letters will be bought from this surplus. 89 JW 'iff 2614 I . ,, , W V f V , ,V .A V 'ty f J j , 3, f, 1 4 'fa ' I Q4 ' I 7 X Q if if ff, ,K 4 ff 2 XZ! 4 ff Z f ff V 1 U X Z jf f ff 4 Q f ff, ,jg fy ff X if if if 2 , Ma , 'rf 'r ff ff . 1 I 4 ff? fi, ? if ,N , f J -7 f I j , f f p 7 ,. , I ,M .,,, E M. .

GRINDSTUEN J. POUCH OUR CHEERLEADERS The election of the 1946-47 Varsity and reserve cheerleaders was held in the spring of '46 before the Student Body. Charlene Grindstein, Annie Mauer, Ted Faust and Ted Hansel were added to the remaining Varsity squad consisting of Nancy Dean and Pat McLean. The reserve cheerleaders elected were Joy Fouch, Virginia Taylor, Marilyn Wahl, and Sally Feiger. Early in the fall all cheerleaders began practice for the football season. New uniforms were added and plans were made for the organization of a cheering section. The cheering section was finally organized under the direction of Mr. Wm. Gerard. The section and the cheerleaders planned various activities including the snake dance before the Ludington-Traverse game and a Victory March before the Soo game. This original cheering section spread into what is now the Pep Club. All through the year the cheerleaders took turns in putting on assemblies before each home game. They practiced three nights a Week and had sessions to get ideas for assemblies and new yells. April tenth the cheerleaders went to a regional meeting of cheerleaders to exchange ideas.

Lrnder Mary johnson 102 YOU are lhe Future The first part of your high school life was during a world war conilagration. You did your best in many ways to help win the victory, and win we did. How- ever, even the victor loses in war. Wars always leave distrust, dissolution, and destruction in their wake. Your older brothers and fathers fought and preserved for us the great American way of life which we enjoy. You are graduating into this postwar world. You have a job equal to those who fought so gallantly. You may not be called upon to go into battle, but you are entering into a period of building a lasting peace and understanding. Unless you do a good job, there will be other devastating wars and more destruction which will involve you. In your school life we hope you have learned something of human values, of the meaning of changing economic conditions, of tolerance, of democracy, of work, and of problem solving through honest thinking. Certain rights and bene- fits are ours because we live in America. These rights and benefits can be pre- served without wars only if we do our duty in peace as well as in war. That duty is to stand for those principles which are best for all the people. Be honest with yourself and others. Strive to uproot the weeds that would destroy our demo- cratic way of life. Help teach those who need understanding. America is America because it has a greater spirit of faith and understanding than any other country in the world. Democracy means to give of yourself. When every- one gives, it means a better life for all. You are the future. Give of your best. GLENN LOOMIS, Szzperintemiem 103 FACULTY Willirzm Novak The Class of 1947 wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Novak, our prin- cipal, who, throughout his first year has filled the position in an excellent man- ner. He helped make the school function properly, and helped us as individuals to make our year pleasant and pront- able. He possesses in addition to ad- ministrative ability, a pleasant dispo- sition and more than a little patience. We have greatly enjoyed our year with him, and Wish for him many more successful years as principal of Central High School. 14..- Throughout his long career as princi- pal of the junior Division Mr. Anderson has strived to promote good citizenship, scholarship, and orderliness. In guiding his students he has employed an attitude both firm and kind, combined with the wisdom of years of experience. We, the members of the graduating class, wish to express our appreciation to him for the part he played in starting us on our high school careers. George Amierron FACULTY J. c. Allen, B.S.

Editor MARY NEVINS, Editor-in-Chief THE PINES BOARD OF 1947 The thirty-two members of the Annual Board were selected by the Faculty Advisory Committee in October and preliminary work on the year book was begun immediately. The goals of the Board were to have a bigger and betteru annual than ever before, and to have it completed before school closed in June. A serious and saddening blow to the Board was the death of Mr. E. R. Chapman, who had long been the faculty adviser for The Pines, but shortly after this loss the Board met with Superintendent Loomis and selected Mr. Karl Fisher as faculty editor and Mr. Dugald Munro as faculty photographic editor. Due to increased costs of publication it was necessary to raise the selling price to 33.00, but under Jack Bay's supervision the sales exceeded those of previous years.
