XI Hs, It would be sad, indeed, if the SPIC Staff were not allowed to say something about their pride and joy - the 1945 SPIC. So, this is it. We are about to speak. We hope that you like your SPIC. We worked to make you like it. This is your book, and we want you to feel that it is a good one. We hope, also, that you will be proud of your annual when, in future years, you look back over these pages. We want you to feel that your hook is as good as any. That's all, except that we had fun making your SPIC, and we hope that you have fun reading it. - 1945 SPIC STAFF Dedication C00 The Owosso High School dedicates this 1945 Spic to its loyal alumni and students who have served and are serving in the Armed Forces every' where along the farfflung battle line.

SENIORS WITHOUT PICTURES DOROTHY COE MAXINE GROUNDS JOE KAYANEK ED MATZKONIN JANET SMITH CHARLES WARD Senior Classy Will We, the Seniors of 45, acting with sound minds under no influence or threat or demand, do make, publish, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament. ARTICLE I To our immediate successors, we bequeath not only the title, Senior, but also the expensively carved pews in the remote regions of the Candy' land. To the Sophomores fwise foolsj, we bequeath our old notebooks and any other result of our midnight toil, which may save them undue mental exertion. To the Freshmen, we bequeath ffree of charge and with sincere regretsj the many pictures of Van Johnson and Petty Girls, which line the doors of our lockers. To the incoming Freshmen, we bequeath the wads of gum stuck under our desks and our symf pathy. ARTICLE II Certain individuals of the class wish to leave the following: 1. Jim Storrer leaves not only his characterise tic laugh to Bob Foss but also his nickname PeachyfPie. fHe hopes., 2. To Bud Smith, Dorothy Adams leaves her riding ability. 3. Bill Cordell leaves his AllfState Title to Danny Yankle. 4. To Mr. Simpson, Betty Critikos leaves six inches of her hair. 5. Bruce Meyers leaves his bow and arrow to Cupid and his appendix to Dr. Arnold. 6. To Darlene Randolph, Ann Lieberman leaves her singing ability. 7. Ernie Kitchen's boy Beryl leaves what's left of his Ford to anyone with Life Insurance. 8. Esther Lohrer leaves her financial worries to Mrs. Coller. 9. To Jack Hollis, Dick Schneider leaves his luck at poker. 10. To Sally Stevens, Alice deBoom leaves her title Nicest Girl in School. 11. johnny Dingwall leaves with the next draft. 12. In the nearest wastepaper basket, Joan Montgomery and Elaine Dickinson leave their newest sketches. 13. Rev, Davis leaves his lower lip to Andy Gump. 14. To Mr. Brant, Jim Storrer and Marty Ar' nold leave Milford Hunter and Sally Throne in hopes that he has as much fun thinking up jokes about them. 15. To R. J. Wolf Howe, Don DeVoe leaves his hatred for women. 16. To Donna Brown, Helen Young leaves her flirtatious Hi 17. George Capitan leaves his beautiful curly hair to his best friend Pop Cournyer and his monstrous muscles to Albie Lieberman. 18. Jim Tanner leaves his attractive smile to Colgate's Advertising Agency. 19. Gar Temple leaves his seeingfeye dog to Jersey Sherwood. 20. The Football fellas leave to their coach, john Miller, the distinction of beating Flint Northern for the first time in the history of our school. And with a lapse into unconsciousness, we close. Marty Arnold Helen Young Cla s Prophecy of 1945 Like a darkened ship that passes silently in the night, Each graduating classmate slips unheralded into the sea And sails for distant ports so very vague and far That we consult the crystalfgazer's ball to see. With this medium to cut the mist That shrouds the mystic future from our sight, We watch the little boats all near the shore Where just ahead the City of Result lies gleaming in the light. Our blonde Elaine Dickinson will then design the lovely clothes That chic young women everywhere will wear, While Mary Jean's commercial illustrations Upon the pages of the nation's magazines will soon appear. Marie Krust's violin will still pour forth its lovely melodies, And all the world will stop to hear her play, While Anita Basso's talent, too, will make The world her audience on that far day. Our youthful Beethovans - Jacquie, Mary Lou, and Dorothy Mae Will have their share of public acclamation And add their musical compositions To the anthology of the nation. At any mention of Lloyd Welch, our engineer, The magic crystal suddenly blurs and fades, He's surrounded by atom-smashers And lost in a dense electronical maze. Our wandering Kenny Augustine has finally become A foreign attache, - a wandering diplomat, While Esther Lohrer has beaten him in mileage, mile for mile. A foreign correspondent, she's walked off with the map. Bruce Meyer married Helen to manage Meyer's store, And Cappy found a pretty wife to run his Sugar Bowlq So any day you'll find these two out in some vacant lot, Practicing long and vigorously to make just one more goal. Jim and Martha, too, inevitably will merge, And jim will run the Storrer's clothing store, With six small Storrer's there to help And make the family income more. While other happy couples on our list, With their acknowledgements, appear like this: Patsy Ranowski and Pee Wee Mclntye, Wilma Lyons and Tom Mahaney, Marilyn Schultheis and jim Bronson, Dorothy Coe and Wayne Brooks, Joan Schwartz and Chuck Acker. But suddenly someone focused our gaze herself, And we find on closer study that it's our Ann. She's finally reached the goal near her heart, She's now a famous worldfrenowned comedienne. And with her stand none other than The Voice, Our singing, swinging Harold Hoenshell, And gorgeous, darkfhaired Betty Critikos, Our famous, lovely glamourfbelle. But fame has also come to Bill Cordell, Norm Henry, johnny Dingwall, Don Devoe. These four are famous football coaches now, And the scores of teams opposing them are at an allftime low Phyllis Martineau, Leona Block, and Doris Cook Are now successful business secretaries, While Shirley Meyers and Norma Nutson are successful, too. They own a whole great chain of dairies. George Tissot and Kenneth Schroeder, Our country's future agriculturists, Appear before our watchful eyes, And then the vision fades into the mists. - Pat Murdock. Valedictory Friends and classmates: As we terminate our high school days, we realize that we are completing four of the most formative years of our lives. We find ourselves somewhat reminiscent - evaluating the formal instruction and the social contacts these four short but priceless years have provided for us. To us, they represent four years of learning, not only from books, but learning from practical living, learning how to adjust ourselves to a confused and warftorn world. However difficult the future may seem, we are not in the same position as the classes that recently preceded us. They saw before them unending years of strife among nations. We, the Class of 1945, are about to step into the world whose future is bright and encouraging, a peaceful future in which we find friendly nations working together in harmony. It is our privilege to be able to concentrate our efforts in establishing such a world by careful and exacting planning, rather than by tearing it down with heavy artillery, ships, guns, and planes. True, many of us must enter the armed forces to help terminate this tragedy. However, we will do so with the hope of ending it permanently and soon. When victory comes, we will be responsible for applying our learning at peace tables all over the world. Past generations are responsible for what the world is today. We shall be ac' countable for what it will be tomorrow. It is for us to determine whether we shall have a world divided by strife and greed or one dominated by the teachings of the Son of Galilee. Whatever threats that may confront us, we must analyze the situation to procure the right. Otherwise the world will be filled with chaos and confusion undreamed of in all the history of mankind. WE MUST SET THE PACE! ! Wilma Lyons Salutatory l l Where's Ed? He can fix it. Those were the words often used in connection with Edward Matzkanin at the war plant where he was working when he was called into the armed forces. Yes, and around school, too, he was usually to be found in the physics lab working on motors, building apparatus, and the like. His mechanical inclinations did not interfere with his academic work, however, and his record in the Class of '45 speaks for itself. Yes, wherever he is at present, all know that He can fix it. The Class of 1945 welcomes you to its commencement exercises. We sincerely thank the community for the educational advantages it has offered us. We owe a debt of gratitude to our parents, for they are the ones who have sacrificed for our wants and who have helped to make us happy. We should thank the townspeople for their support in every project we have undertaken. We are especially grateful to the Board of Education for the school that we have and for the many things they have done for our welfare. We should also show our appref ciation to our teachers who have been so cooperative and understanding. High school days have meant a lot to this class. The four years have gone in a hurry, but we have taken subjects to meet our desires and needs. We have grown mentally and spiritually and thus we are better fitted to go out and be victorious over the problems each of us will have to face. We hope to be a credit to our school. For some, their formal education is ended while others will continue in higher institutions of learning. Even though we are being graduated in the midst of world turmoil, we have high aspirations, and in the end, we will be victorious. You have placed the assets of a progressive community in our hands to do with as we please. As we go our respective ways in life, we hope that your faith in us will be justified. By our accomplishments, our appreciation will be shown. Ilene Muzzy fBecause our salutatorian was called to the service before this high school year was com' pleted and we were unable to get in touch with him, Miss Ilene Muzzy, the third ranking mem' ber of the Class of 1945, graciously consented to write the above address.

Mrs. Coller - Sophomore English English Department English, both grammar and literature, plays an important part in the curriculum of every high school student. At Owosso High School, the courses offered are planned to give each student a good background as well as a thorough preparaf tion for college English. Three years of English is required of all nonfcollege students, while the college preparatory student struggles through four. Freshman English involves a vast study of hasic grammar and literature, Diagraming, writing, and the studying of English and American literature are the main topics of concentration in these first year classes. Poe, Scott, Tennyson, London, and Lowell are some of the authors over whose works the frosh daily ponder. Mrs. Pinney, Miss Wright, Miss Stewart, Miss Comhellack, and Miss Schipper teach the freshmen their reading and Writing in preparation for future courses. After spending one year in preliminary work, students advance to the first main event in their Miss Schipper - Freshman English Mrs. Pinney - American Literature English course. This consists of a specific review of words and letters along with an introducf tion to figures of speech, more difficult diagramf ing. and the mechanics of poetry, Reading is inf tensive during the second year when students di' gest The Tale of Two Cities, Silas Marner, Tales of a Wayside Inn, Ivanhoe, and The Idylls of the King. Mr. Shanafelt and Mrs. Coller are the inf structors, Having completed two years of grammar, stuf dents are almost eager to study the classics of American and English Literature in their third year course. The intricate fancies of Poes poetry mingle with the more realistic compositions of Sandhurg, Whitinziii, and Lowell: and students spend many an hour reviewing the lives and works of these literary great. English Literature occupies two semesters of study, which centers around such classic authors as Milton. Shakes' peare, and Chaucer. The romantic verse of Keats, Shelley, and Byron help to complete the program. Mrs. Pinney, Mrs. Coller, Miss Comhel- lack, Miss Schipper, and Mr. Shanafelt teach these two literature courses. Miss Combellack - Freshman English Mr. Shanafelt - Sophomore English Business English, Contemporary Literature, and Rhetoric are additional suhjects offered. In Contemporary Literature, modern authors and their works are the keynote. Miss Schipper presents this suhiect to upperclassmcn. Business English is the study of husiness letter writing, spelling, and general office English, This is taught hy Miss Comhellack. Undouhtedly, the most difficult of all English courses is Rhetoric, a review of English fundaf mentals in one semester. College texthooks are used, and the assignments often require two and three hours of work. Mrs. Coller and Mr. Shana' felt teach Rhetoric to college preparatory seniors. Others may attempt the course, hut only if their grades are high. Much of the credit for the efficiency of this department is due Mrs, Minnie Gchhart, Dean of Girls, who is also its head. Once a month the members have a getftofgether to talk over their prohlems, Freshman - English Mr. Bates - Argumentation and Debate Speech Because of the increased interest in puhlic speaking this year, there are five classes heing taught daily. Beginning speech stresses the fundamentals and techniques of speaking, as well as poise and natuf ralncss in the speaker. Students are taught to com' pose demonstrative and informative speeches as hasie preparation for advanced work. Later, in the advanced classes, radio work is highflighted. Using the microphone, students prepare various types of radio programs, which afford valuahle training in the editing of scripts. Mr. Bates, the teacher in charge of all speech work in the school, insists that his students hreathe correctly and have good posture. Weeks are spent in teaching youthful speakers the art of listening and criticizing each others speeches. The class in argumentation and dehate helps to train future dehaters. Nlany questions and resof lutions are argued pro and con after adequate ref search and preparation have been made. As a result of the additional classes, speech plays a more important part in the life of the Owosso High School.

Miss Ghola - Bookkeeping Mrs. Weatherby - Typing Typing and shorthand are taught in both the junior and the senior years. In the former, the student learns the various parts of the typewriter, the proper method of caring for it, and its use. In the beginning, the student types groups of letters, which gradually develop into words, phrases, and sentences. Mrs. Weatherby, Miss Duncan, and Miss Gohla are the typing instructors. Shorthand, although it is one of the more dif- ficult commercial subjects, is one of the most usef ful to people interested in the husiness world. Miss Duncan and Mrs. Weatherhy' are the short' hand instructors. Office Practice is a course offered to seniors who are interested in learning the operation of va' rious office machines. The Office Practice room is equipped with several adding machines, comp' tometers, and two dictophones. Mr. Simpson, the head of the Commercial Department, teaches this course. Miss Duncan - Shorthand Mr. French - Geometry Mathematics Department Every freshman is confronted at one time or another hy the dilemma of higher learning, and half of them at last resign themselves to taking al- gehra, geometry, advanced algehra, solid geomef try, and, to top it all off, trig. Believe it or not, the war has almost douhled the total of math students, so Mr. French and Miss Selheim aren't complaining. Instead, they put in at little overtime and actually managed to pull most of the stragglers through those last heautiful june days. Algebra, with its unknown quantities, serves the purpose of teaching students to think logically, and once this is accomplished, the theorems of geomef try seem much easier. Advanced algehra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are the more complif cated classes which are usually taken only hy maf jors in mathematics, who will require a more detailed background hefore heginning college work. As a whole, math requires a lot oi' serious concentration, which sometimes stretches into the wee, candle-lit hours of the morning. Regardless of this, it's satisfying and fun even for those who make only a shortfliyed stab at freshman algehra. Miss Selheim - Algebra v Mr. Bynes - Agriculture Agricultural Classes Many skills related to farming are studied in the different agriculture classes. Tenth grade ag' riculture consists of preparing seed samples, grad' ing samples, and learning the best varieties of grain. Seed analysis and germination are part of the work. In order to analyze seed, a boy must know approximately fifty farm seeds and weed seeds. He also learns something of the fertilizer and the plant food requirements of various farm crops. In horticulture, the students learn to trim grapes, raspberries, shade trees, and fruit trees. They also learn to graft fruit trees and to select and store the scions, Some time is spent on the planting and the fertilizing of lawns, tree surgery, and the fertilization of shade trees. Eleventh graders devote their time to the study of livestock. They learn the different breeds of livestock and the varieties of poultry. They grade eggs and judge milk, poultry, and livestock. Some work is done in culling, worming, and vaccinating poultry. The senior agricultural students take up the study of soils and farm management, which inf cludes such work as testing soils to discover their fertilizer needs and to find out if they are acid or not. A detailed study is made of farm accounting and the marketing of farm products. During the year, each boy is expected to carry out a project which may be the raising of some crop or some livestock of his own. The agriculf tural instructor, Mr. Dynes, visits each boy's home once or more during the year.

On january 17, Mr. Bremer presented the band in its first concert. A spring concert was held on April 20 in conjunction with the grade school band and the girls' chorus. The Swing Band, consisting of fourteen musif cians, plays for at least one dance a week. As a result of its fine work at the high school dances, the hand has received many offers to play for out- offtown parties. During the spring season the band provides music for many formal dances throughout the county. Although the draft and graduation have taken many of its members, Mr. Bremer has managed to keep the Swing Band to' gether. The Owosso High School Chorus and Boys' Glee Clubs are under Miss Mary Stewart, the dif rector of vocal music in the grade schools. The Boys' Glee Club, numbering sixteen members, meets every Monday and Wedxlesday the second hourg and Girls' Chorus, numbering forty mem' bers, assembles the same hour on Tuesdays and Thursdays. During the year, all students were given a voice test and were grouped for part singf ing in future assemblies. Girls, Glee Club Mr. Moore - Physics Science With the advent of Wiirld War II, an increased interest manifested itself in different types of sci' ence hecause of the many opportunities it offers in this changing world and the genuine pleasure it gives in discovering the natural wonders. To the freshmen, Mr. Iviontgomery offers gen' eral science, a diversified course which acquaints the students with a general knowledge of the field. Room 6 contains a conglomeration of such objects as live snakes and alligators, collections of rocks and minerals, stuffed animals, and different types of plant life. At all hours of the day a group of students can he found there huilding aeroplanes or tinkering with electrical machines. Both Mrs. Thurston and Mr. Montgomery teach hiology, a course which covers both plant and Chemistry Class !,..M.-. 1 Mr. Montgomery - General Science animal life. It is here that the perspiring student nearly asphyxiates himself with the fumes of for' maldehyde while he endeavors vainly to trace the alimentary tract of a frog or a worm. Here, too, he makes collections of leaves, flowers, and weeds, goes on field trips, and watches motion pictures of unique plant and animal life. Nothing intrigues the would'be scientist so much as the smells he can create in the chemical lab' oratory. One whiff of Mr. MOore's domain on the days when his classes are studying hydrogen sulfide furotten eggsuj hears out this theory. Nevertheless, it is here that the student becomes acquainted with the chemical composition of iodine, soap, nail polish remover, and many other everyday products. Mr. Mo0re's physics classes are composed chief' ly of seniors who spend their class periods learn- ing the fundamentals of light, sound, electricity, machines, and all types of engines. The fact that more students are enrolling in this department each year shows their attitude toward this line of study. Mrs. Thurston - Biology l 'l ,saw fs?

Haidt, Cloney and Vwfeidmang Mr. Lee is the su' pervisor of this department, General shop is a hasic course open to the stu' dents who have had no previous shop training of any kind. The metal shop courses are designed to train students for the many johs in modern industry. Students learn the techniques of welding, solder' ing, and metal heat treatment, With this knowlf edge, metal shop graduates are enabled to find their places in modern industrial work more easily. In the wood shop classes, students learn the operation and the care of the basic woodworking tools, with which they build useful household fur' niture. Besides working on personal projects, Mr. Weidman - Machine Shop Mr. Cloney - Wood Shop students construct some furniture for school activif ties. This year the wood shop students made the fireplace for the senior play, and in previous years, they have helped in constructing the sets for the class plays. Here students also learn the usefulness and the durability of the various kinds of wood used in the construction of furniture. In addition they attain skill in furniture designing. In machine shop, the emphasis is centered around the lathe - the principal machine in the shop. The students are also trained in precision grinding. Print shop courses teach students how to set type and how to operate a job press. Print shop students, under Mr. Lee's instruction, turn out nearly all the tickets, posters, signs, cards, notices, and pamphlets having to do with school activities. Farm shop courses are open to agricultural stu- dents only. Ag students learn the operation and care of general farm machines. Students in the blue print reading classes are taught how to read and how to apply industrial blue prints. In conclusion, the courses in the Industrial Arts Department are designed to present the problems and mechanics of the modern farm and the inf dustrial plants. Mr. llaidt - Mechanical Drawing Miss Cansfield - Sewing Home Economics Home economics is one of the most useful and practical courses taught at the Qwosso High School. Miss Cansfield and Miss Parrish, who have taught over two hundred and fifty students this year, divide the course into three sections: foods, clothing and homemaking. Miss Cansfield's four sewing classes learn about clothes designs, colors, fabrics, and the principles of handling a sewing machine. One class made their own Easter suits, in spite of high prices. The foods section, taught by Miss Cansfield and Miss Parrish, studies meal preparation, nutrif tion, and general kitchen management. Every other week the girls prepare their own meals at school. The most intensive class of all is homemaking, in which Miss Parrish drills the girls on the fine points of general housekeeping. The twenty girls taking the new home nursing course are privileged, indeed. The puhlic health nurses and Miss Parrish have made this Red Cross course very interesting. Cnly a few of the students enrolled in this def partment are making home economics their ca' reerg however, the mere opportunity of taking this course is an invaluable experience. Miss Parrish - Cooking Miss 0smer - Art ABT The first year of art is devoted to many projects. Students study the mechanics of the course, which include perspective, form, and color. After sucf cessfully completing this, the wouldfbe artists try their hands at imaginative drawings of every sort. The posters and placards which very often decf orate the halls of the school are done in these classes. Waiter colors, outfdoor sketching, and simple sculpturing are introduced during this year. The more advanced classes are taught drawing in inks, oil painting, and some handicraft with leathers and metals. The school is wellfequipped for the teaching of ceramics. In addition to a kiln and several kinds of colored clays the students have, at their disposal, the necessary chemicals to make their own glazes. Vases of various types, figurines, and jewelry are made in these classes. In Art Appreciation the student learns about the different types of architecture, the world's fa- mous artists and their works, and the principles of interior decorating. The art department, under the direction of Miss Osmer, helps to prepare the prom decora- tions, the play programs, and the large signs hung in the hall. Ceramics l ' ,. tn? xii. Mr. Miller - Boys' Physical Education Boys 9 Physical Education Bruiscd bodies, battered dreams, and shattered egos are the results of a year of nfizzical fitness for boys. Under the new program all fellows, physically able, are required to take both gym and swimming unless they are participating in sports. Coaches Miller and Mason daily put the boys through their paces. Paces, incidentally, consist of basketball, softball, volleyfball, swimming, box' ing, wrestling, relays, and the inevitable L'Atlas exercises. Every year some courageous lads risk minds, and bodies in the boxing and wrestling finals. These are held in the gymnasium with the student body for spectators. Members of the facf ulty act as judges, and the proceeds go to the ath' letic department. Swimming, in many forms and phases, plays an important part in the new program, along with the obstacle courses and exercises. After four years of these activities, each boy is either in the pink of physical condition, or at the peak of physical destruction. Wrestling and Boxing l Miss llayes - Girls, Physical Education Girls' Physical Education Weairiiig the required hlue 'ishortsn with white shirts, the girls of O. H. S. struggle through three years of physical education. To them, physical education is a vague term meaning overfexertion in almost everything. There is haskethall with its tricky pivots and throws that arc disastrous at first. However, after a few weeks of instruction hy Miss Hayes, every girl is ahle to manage on her own. Volleyhall and kickhall are much the same exf cept that in volleyhall the girls push and hump one another: while in kickhall, they kick one another. Bruises and scratches arc the real signs of endeavor in hoth sports. Softhall and soccer are the rough and tumble games of the A-OLlI'Ll0OI'S,u which all girls experience together, The girls, unlike the hoys, have their choice he' tween swimming and gym for the required physical education course. Miss Hayes taught the willing mcrmaids diving, various strokes, water games, and stunts. All such physical endeavor provides the girls with ample hrawn and heauty for presentfday living. Girls, Phys.

Urientaf tion, Ancient History, lvlodern History, United States History, Government, and Economies are all included in the department. Orientation, required of all freshmen, is studied during the first semester of the freshman year. The course is designed primarily to help the freshmen hecome oriented to the surrounding that they will know for the next four years, hut it also helps them attain the right attitude toward high school in general. Miss Stewart and Mr. jones teach all the orientation classes. Ancient History, covering the period hetween 900 B. C. and 1300 A, D., is the only history off fered in the freshman year. In this course, the Mr. de Boom - U.S. llistory a.1i-' Q uf , ful i - X' Wagyu Miss Stewart - Ancient History civilization of ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, and the Protestant Reformation are the main subjects of study. Miss Stewart teaches all the Ancient History classes. In their sophomore year, 11i0St students study Modern History. Modern History begins in the year 1300 A. D. and carries through to the pres' ent time. The history of European nations and their relationship to the world are studied in this course. Mr. jones and Mr. Bates handled the Modern History classes this year. United States History is required of all high school students before they can graduate. The course, offered in the junior year, covers the his' tory of the United States from the time of the aborigines to the present day. Mr. Hood and Mr. de Boom always teach United States History. Government and Economics are usually studied in the senior year. Government is concerned with the mechanism of the United States government and is a one semester course. Economics covers the economic laws, principles, and problems of the world today. Government is a required course, while Economics is an elective. Both courses are taught by Mr. Hood. Mr. Bates also had one government class this year. Mr. Jones - 0rientati0n 'Q -at is-ft' A l 9 or W ' i 5 X. Miss Philp - Latin Foreign an ua e epartment In this high school only two forcign languages arc now oiifcrcd, Latin and Spanish.

The growth of thc l'anfAincrif can movcnicnt has put Spanish on thc curriculum ol' many high schools. Two ycars of cach lan' Qlliltft' is olifcrvtl. Miss Wi'iglit, a ncwcomcr at Owosso High this yt-ar, taught two Spanish classcs: and Miss Philp taught livc Latin classcs. In first ycar Latin, grammar is the principal study, with a fcw Grcck and Roman myths. Caesaris Gallic Wars is rcad during most of thc sccond ycar, although thcrc is somc grammar. First ycar Spanish strcsscs the importancc of grammar, hut somc sight rcading is donc in thc rcadcr uscd to vary the coursc. In sccond ycar Spanish thc important issuc is the suh-iunctivc inodc. Aft-:r this, minor dctails in grammar arc handlcd. The rcst of thc ycar is dcvotcd to rcading sclcctions from works of mod' crn Spanish authors and to discussing thc storics in Spanish. Miss Wright - Spanish -al has Guidance Ilffice The work of the Guidance Office, organized in 1940, falls under two general divisions: placement and counselling with the boys relative to personal, social, edu' cational, and vocational problems. The placement activities, which take up about twofthirds of the time, place both the boys and the girls in partftime and fullftime jobs. Local, business, and industrial concerns make use of this service as do many housewives who wish help in their homes. The counselling activities involve only the boys in the school. Teachers refer many cases to the Guidance Officeg these involve boys who are doing unsatisfactory school work. Boys who need help in planning their schedules seek this service. In the spring of each year the director goes to each grade school, gives mental and achievement tests to the incoming freshmen, and enrolls them for the coming school year. Mr. Harold jones is the efficient director of this department. .1 't 44' ,., .e,.., 31, .5 ., . fit' Lx ' ,. .':4lAJ' 1 QQ 4 L A X' X.. 46' CQ Af. 4:9 'ov Top Row: Pat Murdock, Joan Cameron, Elaine Dickinson, Wilma Lyons, Dorothy Adams, Ann Ilia-br-rman, Mrs. Gt-bhart.

Using only two experienced debaters, Owosso did well in arguing the question: Resolved: That the legal voting age should be reduced to eighf teen years. Two Valley Tournaments, one at Saginaw and the other at Flint, were held. Since the majority of the squad was composed of unexf perienced debaters, Owosso's chances for a high position in the Valley were slimg however, the squad made a good showing against strong Valley teams. The affirmative teams, in order, were Ann Lie' berman and Pat Murdock, Esther Lohrer and Elaine Dickinson, and Kenneth Augustine and Alan Zimmerman. The negative teams, in order, were James Hagen and Joan Montgomery, Wilma Lyons and Mary Lou Kindlesperger, and John jankeje and Norman Van Epps. The Debate Club sponsored two All-Class par' ties and enjoyed a Christmas party at Joan Mont' gomery's home. Any U. H.

Impressed upon their brains forever are visions of pasteboard and glue, pictures with leering faces, and papers covered with inky smudges. Only one who has suffered can realize the effect those weeks of work have brought about. Halffshut eyes, rumpled hair, soiled clothes, thin, tired bodies, and weak minds are the all too apparent results. Night after night the staff labored into the wee hours of the morning with only hamburgs, cokes, popcorn, and potato chips to stave off final col' lapse. Each day the weary students were forced to face their teachers with their assigned lessons unfinished. Finally, the end came, and with it a glorious celebration in the form of weak shouts and weak' er echoes. Never in the annals of accomplishment had so much been done in so little time. Never before had a group been so deliriously tired and so deliriously happy. Think of these people when you review the joyful days recorded in your 1945 Spic. They ask no credit other than that their names be boldly printed by some weak, tired souls upon the slate' gray tombstones that symbolize their dying efforts. I I I-.- 4,- .1..
