Bad Axe High School - Bad Axian Yearbook (Bad Axe, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1950 volume:

fOREWORD Many years ago in the territory of Huron County there roamed a tribe by the name of the Bad Axians. From this group originated a smaller tribe by the name of the Naughty Hatchets, who now roam the corridors of Bad Axe High School. This is the legend of a very adventurous year in their lives. 1950 Bad Axian published by the senior class Bad Axe High Schcc‘ Bad Axe, Michigan DEDICflTIOn of 1950 make its high school years a success. With- out the ever present help and interest of Mrs. Lynch in such activities as subscription campaigns, plays, proms and banquets, the class would not have gain- ed such heights. Mr. Lynch's sense of humor and joke book have added a sparkle to many a dull mo- ment. flommiSTRHTion The Board of Education has devoted much time to current school affairs as well as the new school building under construction. Meetings of this group are held regularly on the first Thursday of each month with special meetings called when the need arises. All of these men are parents of children in school; this adds to their enthusiasm. Superintendent Frank E. Dodge has held this posi- tion in Bad Axe for two years. Prior to this, he was superintendent at Decatur, Michigan, for 16 years. The seniors will remember his fine help in producing both of their plays. His speaking ability has proven an asset to both the school and the community. May he remain in Bad Axe for many more successful years. Lamb i uther As much a part of Bad Axe High School as the structure itself is Principal Luther M. Lamb, who is completing his twentieth year in the school system, fifteen of which he has been in the role of principal. No one ever receives a B. A. H. S. diploma without having had a few consultations with Mr. Lamb, either seeking excuses for ab- sence or tardiness, checking credits, get- ting measured for cap and gown, or oc- casionally, in a more unpleasant situation. Bad Axe High wouldn't be the same with- out Mr. Lamb. Coaches posed with their favorite sports equip- ment. Coach Vanstone, director of athletics, has taught in B. A. H. S. five years. He is head coach of basketball and teacher of world history. Coach Marsh, who has just completed his first year in Bad Axe, is head coach of football and track, and teaches junior high classes. Coach Ignash, another instructor of one year's duration, is head coach of baseball, as- sistant coach of football and track, and teaches world history and junior high history. insTRUcnon i?1 !) U , •% « s These English and language instructors do not confine themselves strictly to academic ac- tivities. Mrs. Dodge, speech and English litera- ture, has been with the faculty for two years. In addition to the subjects mentioned before, she teaches two alqebra classes and directs the sen- ior play. Mrs. Biber is Dean of Girls and directs the junior play besides teachina English 10. She is completing her third year in B A H. S. which extended over a period of time. Instructor of Latin and 9th grade English is Mrs. Stoner. She has sponsored the Latin Club for two years, which is the length of time she has taught in Bad Axe. Mrs, Lynch, English literature instruc- tor and librarian, has been a part of the faculty five years. Mrs. Woodworth, part time teacher for one year, is the Spanish instructor. Co� c''el Vocational instructors spend a relax- ing moment in the homemaking room for cookies and coffee. Mr. Wakefield, who is helping himself to a cookie, has been in B. A. H. S. ten years. He is head of the agricultural department. Mr. Nelson, manual training instructor, is completing his second year in our school. Mrs. Phil- lips, homemaking teacher, is hostess to the group. She has been a member of the faculty three years. Standing next to the hostess is Mr. Logan, typing and short- hand I teacher. During two periods of time Mr. Logan has been a member of the fac- ulty for four years. Mrs. Logan has been claimed by B A. H. S. for seven years as commercial and journalism instructor. Be- sides her regular classes Mrs. Logan is fac- ulty advisor for the school yearbook and in charge of the school paper msTfiucTion Symbolic of the subjects taught by Mr. Lynch and Mr. Renz is the map in the background. Mr. Lynch, who was superintendent of Port Austin School prior to Bad Axe, has been a member of the school system for six years. Mr. Lynch teaches govern- ment and economics, and helps with the hot lunch program for the stu- dents. Instructor of American his- tory, Mr. Renz has taught in Bad Axe two years. Performing an experiment at the chemistry labor- atory desk is Mr.Stoner, science and mathematics teach- er. Mr. Stoner has spent four years on the Bad Axe faculty during two periods of time. He was a radio in- structor in the Navy between his two durations in Bad Axe. John Wannamaker has been Bad Axe High School's band in- structor for four years. Besides playing at football games and taking part in band activities with other schools, he works with Miss Norah Dowde, glee club, mixed chorus, and grade school music teacher, to present yearly a musical program. Miss Dowde, who has been music teacher for 18 years, presented an operetta with her high school classes. Ready to serve you as always are Mrs. Montgomery, in charge of veterans' program and school cafeteria finances, and Mrs. Scott, bookkeeper for the school. Mrs. Montgomery has been employed by the office for approxi- mately two years. During two periods of time, Mrs. Scott has been in the school office for nine years. Gathered around Junior High Prin- cipal, George Greene, are Mrs. Lamb and Mrs. Carter. Mr. Greene has been a junior high instructor in Bad Axe for nine years during which time he has held the position of principal for two years. He teaches classes of science and mathematics in seventh and eighth grades. Mrs. Lamb, in- structor of English, has taught in Bad Axe for five years. Mrs. Carter, social science and English teacher, has been a member of the faculty for nine and one-half years over a period of time.

The Buzzer, is publish- ed bi-weekly by the journalism and typing clas- ses. The journalism class pictured here with Mrs. Logan provide the material; the typists do the art work, typing and mimeographing. This year marked the beginning of a two year commercial course when shorthand II and typing II were offered. Mr. Logan is shown of- fering instruction to one of his three typing I classes. Besides these, he teaches shorthand I and typing II. Young braves, squaws and papooses are offered a diversified and well rounded study program by their chiefs. The basic courses include four years of English, two years of history, one year of government, algebra, geometry, advanced algebra and trigonometry, biol- ogy, chemistry, physics, and two years of Latin Be- sides these, a student may choose a commercial, man- ual training, home economics, or farm course. Speech, journalism, and a driver's course add to the diversity. For extra curricular work, one might elect band, glee club, or mixed chorus. Athletics form an impor- tant part of the program for boys. Mrs Logan is overseeing her class in book- keeping while its members work on a practice set. Mrs. Logan teaches shorthand-11 and one class in business training. Mrs. Biber offers a second business training class. These six students are receiving instruc- tion in language of sunny Spain under the guid- ance of Mrs. Florence Woodworth, who makes the daily trek to Bad Axe High School for just this one class in Spanish II. To keep the tribe informed of the do- ings of our world both past and present, young members study world history, U. S. history, and government. Students here are learning about our nation's government with Mr. Lynch's guiding influence. This is one of Mrs. Biber's three classes in English 10. Mrs. Stoner teaches two English 9 classes besides offering instruction in the langu- age of the ancient Romans, Latin. Mrs. Carter teaches two more classes in English 9, and Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Dodge divide the remaining En- glish classes. This year, 1 1th and 12th grade En- glish students studied English literature. Most of them will long remember Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and other English authors. This group is studying U. S. history under Mr. Renz's leadership. The teaching of world his- tory is divided between Mr. Ignash and Mr. Van- stone. These young scientists are performing an experiment in one of the two classes in chemis- try under Mr. Stoner's guidance. Lab and class- room instruction go hand in hand in this sub- ject. A class in physics, one in geometry, and another in advanced algebra keep Mr. Stoner well occupied for the day. Boys (girls, too) who are interested in farming find Mr. Wakefield's department a practical one. They can take such courses as ag- riculture, farm management and farm crops. To learn how to build, repair and maintain build- ings and equipment, the boys take farm shop offered by Mr. Nelson. The department of home economics is proud of its classinartof living which is designed to offer young men and women an approach to the solution of problems which face all youth. In addition to this class Mrs. Phillips offers two years of home economics during which time units in foods and nutrition, clothing, child care, good grooming, home planning and home furnishings, and consumer buying are covered. Mr. Nelson is shown in his shop de- partment with a few of his prospective builders. General shop, advanced shop, and mechanical drawing provide a well balanced shop program for those interest- TfilBflL LEADERS BACK ROW: Jack Greyerbiehl, Mrs. Lynch, Mr. Lynch, Paul Krueger. FRONT ROW: Shirley Wertz, Margaret Talaski, Agnes Schmitt. The braves and squaws of the Naughty Hatchets were particularly har- monious when they were called together to choose their chief leader for the year. Without a dissenting whoop, Paul Krueger was nominated and elected to lead this branch of the tribe. In case Paul would sometime be unable to be present at a pow-wow, Shirley Wertz was chosen to be his able substitute. To keep an accurate record of the happenings at their many sessions, Margaret Talaski was chosen as their scribe. Agnes Schmitt was named in charge of the volume of wampum which this group handled. Representative at the general council of the tribe was Jack Greyerbiehl. Advisory chiefs, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lynch, guided the class of '50 along the Naughty Hatchet trails.

Some attended rural schools; some the parochial school; others became members of the Bad Axians that very day. In 1946, these very same papooses, presently known as young braves and squaws, entered the great doors of Bad Axe High School in hope of a still further education. They were initiated into the tribe of the Naughty Hatchets by their predecessors of a year. Jack Greyerbiehl was elected chief leader of the tribe and Bob Jones became his assistant. Shirley Wertz took the title of the scribe; Noreen McVey was appointed official in charge of wampum. Rep- resentative in the chief council of the tribe was Paul Krueger. The advisory council was composed of Coach Clyde Dawe and Ralph Vanstone. First major project to be undertaken by the Naughty Hatchets tribe was a sophomore carnival which took place in their second year of existence. Pat Smith was elected chief leader of the tribe this year, and Bob Kerr was his as- sistant. Scribe was Helen Essenmacher, and Shirley Wertz was official in charge of wampum. Eleanor Leavesiev was representative in the chief council, and Mrs. Richard Lynch and Mr. Frank DeChane were made members of the ad- visory council. New freshmen were welcomed into the tribe which was made the final initiation for all up and coming classes. The following fall, a busy year began with the annual J-Hop, which they called the Lollypop Hop. The gymnasium was gayly decorated with colorful candy canes and lollypops. In the spring two casts from the class presented a period play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street. This year Terry McDonnell was elected as chief of the tribe, and Eleanor Leavesley was assistant chief. Marjorie Kuntze was elected scribe, and in charge of wampum was Helen Essenmacher. Representative in the chief coun- cil was Betty Lasky, and Mr and Mrs. Richard Lynch were members of the ad- visory council. A subscription campaign, which they undertook in the winter, proved highly successful. It was on the morning of September 7, 1949, when they entered the doors as seniors Paul Krueger was elected chief leader of the tribe, and Shir- ley Wertz was made assistant. Agnes Schmitt was appointed official in charge of wampum, and Margaret Talaski took the title of scribe. Their first project of the year was the Sadie Hawkins dance; then came the senior play, Seventeenth Summer. November found them busily engaged in wreath making for the Chamber of Commerce. Then, December brought the 48th annual Christmas Banquet. Senior pictures came and went, and plans were made for the Senior Prom in the spring. Washington D. C. was the destination chosen for their senior trip in early June. Finally, on June 14, the long awaited graduation day dawned.

Some 150 present and former chiefs as- sembled on the night of December 22 for the 48th annual Christmas feast sponsored by the braves and squaws The party theme was centered around the popular poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. After feasting on wild turkey and all the trimmings, the merry makers settled back to listen to the after dinner remarks of Terry McDonnell, toastmaster, who portrayed Papa in the poem. Harriet Hartshorn, sophomore, represented the mouse; Joe Palms, fresh- man, the empty stocking; Jerry English, jun- ior, the children were nestled all snug in their beds; Lois Stirrett, senior, the filled stocking. Mrs. Richard Lynch, faculty speak- er, represented Mrs. Santa Claus; and Ed Swackhamer, alumnus, returned to speak of the reindeer.

Picture writer, La Vere Webster, and Mr. Nelson stand behind these two. Opposite them stand Mrs. Biber and Jerry English, keeper of the wampum. The junior papooses have had a busy year. Amidst the roaring of lions and music of the steam calliope they danced Under the Big Top. They sponsored their magazine sale, and then started work in February on the play which was given the last of March. They have sponsored a number of after-game dances and sold refreshments during some of the games.

A few of the sophomores who braved the snow storm to attend are pictured here with some of their hosts. A junior boy decided to get in the act, too; however, juniors and seniors had to pay regular admission to the party. Days of fun and gayety fill the lives of B.A.H.S. sophomores. Locker scenes picture groups of laughing students, and the school cafeteria finds many youths wait- ing in line for their dinner and others busily devouring their food. Classroom snaps and pic- tures of eager sophs at all school parties awaiting music for danc- ing make up the remaining shots.

LflTItl CLUB A new organization appeared in Bad Axe High School in September, 1948. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Stoner, the Latin Club was organized. In the first year, meetings were held twice a month. This year meet- ings were held on the first Thursday of each month. A Christmas party took over the December meetings. All members made their own Christmas cards with appropriate verses in Latin. The biggest event of the year, i ne Roman Banquet, was held March 15. Four courses were served at the banquet with musical en- tertainment and Roman dances between courses. Two Roman myths enacted in pan- tomine and a Roman wedding concluded the banquet. All guests appeared in togas and stolas and reclined at the tables as did the Romans of old.

Huron Bad Axe, Michigan firestone Phone 35 Bad Axe soup’s on Preparing lunch five days a week for an average family of 300 is no simple task, but cooks Mrs. Edna McMullen and Mrs. Marion Withey are definitely a match for the job. Type A meals are served to students at a cost of 25c daily or $1.00 weekly if they buy a meal ticket. Everybody crowds the lunch line when the 12 o'clock bell sounds. On this particular day before Thanksgiving, appetites were particularly keen be- cause the savory odor of turkey and its trimmings penetrated the halls before lunch time. The line-up at the counter indicates that the job is far from done. TH£y ALSO StflVC ■D AXE SCHOOLS NO. 5 Approximately 200 students depend daily on this crew of five men for their transportation to and from the halls of learning at Bad Axe High School. From left to right, they are Ken Hill, in charge of all bus maintenance, Henry Clark, Reyes Gonzales, E. E. Courser, and Arthur Harris. Besides daily transportation, buses are used for spe- cial trips and transportation to basketball games for students and players. These pictures, snapped at 5:30 a m., catch the journalism class just beginning the trip to Michigan State College's Journalism Day at East Lansing. PfiOffSSIOtlflL DIRfCIOfiy ARNO W.

Many hours of planning and work are behind a project such as this. Eleanor Leavesley, seated behind desk, ponders her duties as editor with Faith McIntyre, assistant editor, at Eleanor's right. Pat Kavanagh, copy ed- itor, peers over Eleanor's right shoulder, and Margie Kuntze, organizations editor, over her left shoulder. The couple next to Margie, Gary Rogers and Margie Patterson, took charge of the senior section as class co-editors. Be- hind them stands Terry McDonnell, sports editor, who at that moment must have been reminiscing some Hatchet victories. At the far left, Martha Church offers a suggestion to Don White, who acted with Martha as co-art editor. Janet Wollenzien discusses the art of shutter bugs with her co-photography editor, Ken Iseler. Mrs. Logan, faculty adviser, pleasantly oversees the work of her staff. THE STflff Underclassmen assist with the sections devoted to their respective class. Here are Dusty Suit, freshman; Joyce Ann Dodge, junior; and Ronnie Roberts, sophomore, examining a few pictures that are part of the Bax Axian. Committees help with certain sections of the yearbook. Lois Stirrett, Mary Louise Murdock, and Paul Krueger were responsible for the senior class poll; Marilyn Johnston, Verna Schantz, and Mary Louise Bynum wrote the class history.
