Another handicap was the loss of Jack Mclntire whose departure to the Army deprived the Orange and Black of a reliable moundsman. Allegan was confronted with the task of defending its league title. The positions and the leading candidates were: pitcher, Lynn Johnson, Dale Bensinger' and Jerry Gilpin, catcher, Ray Flynn and Tom Calkins, first base, Dick Wilcox and Dave Weston, second base, Ray Bensingerg short stop, Lawrence Gearhart and Kenny May, third base, Dean Ferris, outfield, Clyde Wells, Wayne Leonardson, Larry Lcruivs some rcczc ..... nliwzli vu ,ei A M, ....

6 5 UFC Hume our aaron S. The seventh successive Parents' Day was sponsored in our high school, Thursday, March 22, from 9:00 a.m. to L:O0 p.m. Mr. Rewalt served as general chairman of the Planning Committee for this occasion. The comm1ttee's efforts to provide an interesting program were rewarded by the attendance of approximately 200 parents. The proceedings started with a band concert, followed by a wel- come by Superintendent Arthur Kaechele and the morning address by Dr. C. B. Loomis, head of the Sociology Department of Olivet College, whose topic was WSchool and Community Problems.W Discussions and conferences between parents and teachers were in- formally held in each classroom and later continued after lunch. For display purposes many exhibits, showing projects upon which students had worked in their several classes, were attractively ar- ranged for the parents' benefit in the gym. At noon the Homemaking Il classes served a luncheon. During the meal the orchestra furnished dinner music, and Miss Jane litowich, vocal instructor, directed community singing. Then the group assem- bled in session where Mr. Geiger, of Albion College, expressed his views in a speech entitled WYouth Guidance--Today and Tomorrow.' In the closing period members of the faculty and guest speakers answered questions which parents had dropped into the 'Question Boxn during the day. Special praise is due to the teachers who planned the program and the many students who gave up their day of rest to promote the success of this annual event.
