We believe that the co-operation of the people of Ben- ton Harbor has made it possible for us to arrive at our present stage of intellectual and social develop- ment, small as our progress may have been. Our en- tire High School career has been an effort to prepare ourselves, both practically and purposefully, for the return of services rendered. Every activity we have engaged in has been an experience in intelligent co- operation. If we have learned anything at all from these experiences, it is to hold ever before us the ideal of Democracy, and to PRACTICE IT. In the following pages we have tried to show an example of our experiences in co-operation. We re- gard the school as a practicing Democracy, and we will look upon it as our first accomplishment if' we succeed in getting our readers to see it in that light. irst Row Left to Right: Byers, Garber, Lester, Ziemke, Steenrod, Ferrell, Baccash Hol land Heyboer Pollyea.

The staff was appointed by the Senior Class Officers earl ln the year and has been at work steadily since then. The staff was organized as follows: CofEditors ......... Class Editors ....

Norma Pangborn Juanita Garber Don Smith Ruth Appel Clarabelle Heyboer Elizabeth Lester Charles Getsloif Bob Van Antwerp Frank Moore Our practicing Democracy owes a great deal to Superintendent Sidney C. Mitchell. Always interested in anything which will further the ideals and practice of our school, Mr. Mitchell is, in a manner of speak' ing, our chief democrat. Simultaneously with thoughts of Mr. Mitchell ne those of his aidefde-camp, Mrs. Lela Kit' l. Lela is the smiling and cheery person in Mr. tchell's outer office. Although she doesn't have much actual contact with the students, she is rays ready to give them information, lend them 's, and make all sorts of helpful gestures. X - 1 The members of the Senior Class wish to express their sincere appreciation to Mr. Laws for advising them during the three years of high school experience. He has truly helped them, showing the finest cofoperation, in all their dealings with him. Sitting in at the class officers, meetings Senior Class meetings handlin bu ' , , g si- ness affairs, helping us pick out class announcements rings, etc., were just a few of the things that demanded l his time and attention. So we say, Thanks to you, Mr. Laws! Ei? W1- l Top Row tLeft to Rightl: Leiby, Reid, Ireland, Deaner, Van Hoeven, Jenning Bottom Row: Radom, Foley, Tauner, Ferrell., Archer, Elson. STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is the outward symbol of our Prac- ticing Democracyf' It represents the student body in the busi- ness of running the school. Behind it are the students. And it is their progress in intelligent co-operation, in tolerance and un- derstanding, that the Council represents. The whole school pro- gram is thus the power behind the throne. The Council, however, is much more than a symbol. The good will of the student body is behind it, as it should be. To- gether they carry much of the burden of responsibility which would otherwise fall entirely to Mr. Semler. As such, the Council is perhaps the most valuable democratic organization in the school. m ........---- ,..,......- SlllUJllDllfllTxllllfll c w c Wu: l Y 'And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel, g And shining morning face, creeping like snail N !

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Looking over the events of the past three years in High School, the Seniors find that they have had a great variety of experiences and pleasures. As Sophomores they sponsored all-school parties, had elections for officers, and figured in most of the school life, though they were only freshies. As Juniors the class gave the annual Junior-Senior Prom. It was given at the country club and was a huge success. As Seniors they gave the Ann ual Senior Class Play, enjoyed the Prom, had a skip-and-bum day, and gave the Senior picnic. The officers of the Class of '39 Were: President ..... .

The class has taken every chance to gain recognition, and has made grand records in all our school activities including the Honor Roll. The most of our first Hear at Senior High was spent in trying to accustom ourselves to High Sc ool. Now that we have gotten used to the push and rushing we are mak- ing grand strides in all directions and are able to do a little pushing on our own. Our pushing of the J unior-Senior Prom proved successful, in that for the first time the Prom was held at Shadowland Ballroom, where it turned out to be a grand affair. Now that we are seniors, we hope to set a good example that all underclassmen will strive to follow. ,li . 3 ,.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The sophomore class called their annual party the Snow Bal, Dance. This was a great success due to the fact that the sophomores thi: year are very active and co-operative. Members of the sophomore class are also active in the activities oi the school, such as Girls' and Boys' Bands, and the Glee Clubs. Many of the boys are proving to be promising athletes. This is mucl to the delight of their advisor, Mr. Douglas, who is a football coach. The officers this year were: President-Richard Peckham Vice President-Jean Bellows Secretary--Pat Curtis Treasurer-Ann Grootendorst Student Council-Wamer Jennings, Donald Gardner. 2?

YS' ' OUR SCHOOL DAYS ARE ACTUALLY CENTERED AROUND, NOT AN ABSTRACT THING LIKE CURRICULUM, BUT THE SIMPLE WORD, ACTIVITIES. THESE ACTIVITIES ARE FOR THE ADEQUATE EXPRESSION OF THE STUDENTS' PURPOSES. THE EXPRESSION IS EITHER FORMAL OR INFORMAL. FORMAL EXPRESSION IS IN- CLUDED UNDER CURRICULUM ACTIVITY. ww W 'S 75-,QQ ff I bv 1 Wf 1 I W! Mr. Semler is THE man in the High School who helps us to practice Democracy. He believes in letting the students have a large part in the government of the school, and in most cases lets them run their activi- ties in their own way. Of course, he holds a restraining hand on many of the students' rather wild ideas, but his reasons for doing this are always well founded. Ruth Baumeister can always be found in Mr. Sem- ler's office, ready to help and advise us. She acts as a sort of administrative secretary in our school Democ- racy. The students go to her for admits and excuses, and she shrewdly discerns between false and worth' while reasons. A rather touchy position for her to be in, but she ills her office kindly and capably. Mrs. Haynes is known as the Gitls' Advisor, but really is a kindly advisor to everyone. She is the one girls and boys go to alike to seek advice, sympathy, and sometimes just fun. They always find her a patient lis- tener and an eager helper. She plays a big part in the Girls' League paper and in the Drama and Music Club. GUIDANCE xt A tl Q-1 Mr. Foncannon insists that his job is mainly that of errand boy. Whether he really believes this or not, we are inclined to disagree with him. For out of his office in the last two years have come several worthy projects which have helped us to be- ! come more aware of the problems in our Practicing Democracy. They have made us take stock of ourselves and our relation to the school and communityg they have shown us how we can begin in our School activities to take on more responsibilities than we ever believed ourselves capable of. Besides the projects mentioned, Mr. Foncannon helps us with our :hoice of a curriculum, so that we do not blindly take this or that, but have 1 purpose for our course. He has unraveled many a knotty problem of this sort for us. To him also, we take many personal problems and have al- vvays found him sympathetic. In fact, far from thinking of him as an errand roy, we should rather regard him as chief worrier, since upon his should- rs rests the responsibility of seeing that all of us are getting where we fught to be getting. We believe that Mr. Foncannon and his department verform an invaluable function in our school. INFORMATION PLEASE: All curriculum activities are dependent upon the library, as it plays a large part in the booklearning you acquire. From this room flows the knowledge of every subject offered to the student. sZf'FifiM'rf , 1, -- fe is I CMSMUM 'iw' A 4. ,esllmvw ' . - I 1 fc l f L sv , I Q? NAL, . f -, g2.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The first, of course, is the English Department, as that is the most important. Because of the fact that you, the student, use it every day of your life, and if you do not speak the English Language fluently it is a had mark against you and your school. The purpose of the English Depart- ment is to help you to gather impressions and ideas to think about them, and to adequately express them. Below are the people in Harbor High who help you this. ,G MRS. MISS MISS MISS MISS KENDALL HARRINGTON FINLEY BERRYMAN EMERY Nu .x , S ,,.. 7,1 ', 'L vs. 5 X 2' i 4' ' Q' MR.

It is in this department that the philosophy of our Practicing Dem- ocracy is taught. The progress of clear thinking and understanding in the history of civilization is the philosophy which has brought about Democ- racy. The growing popularity of the courses in economics and sociology certainly indicates how interested the students have become in present-day problems of living together. Most of us learn, before we graduate, that only through co-operation can we hope to improve the world in which we liveg that peaceful methods are not cowardice, but often require a mental cour- age far superior to mere physical courage. We try to carry these ideas into every phase of our school life. And here are the people who teach it. wwf - MR. MR. MR. MR. MR. PERRY PERIGO DOUGLASS Roms GLASER f Qt .. 1 R V if' + .- M 4 MR. MR.

MISS MR- I' KENDALL BRIDGHAM EMERY GI-ASBR FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT The language department of Benton Harbor High School consists of three languages, French, German, and Latin. The purpose of teaching foreign languages is not so that one can read the italicized words in novels, but to createa better understanding of the various peoples and an interest in how the people in other countries live. The French and German students correspond with French and Ger- man pupils of English in their respective countries. According to the students, the most interesting part of these sub- jects is the singing and playing of foreign games. Mrs. Kendall and Mr. Glaser teach German. French is taught by Miss Emery, and Latin by Mr. Bridgham. V 'OKREO T 1-Q I T 'SITDUMM X-Q, 5' 'Nz , I - 2 iw 'vt g g 4 i all-TG? MR. 'V LAWS i- .,, 1 1 K -vfx ,. af ...A -.::- 4- MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mathematics is a science of measuring and relating the properties, quantities and magni' tudes. By studying mathematics a student learns many formulas that enable him to determine the sizes of all types of mathematical figures. Also one prepares himself with an extensive background for college work, such as Engineering, Mathematics Teacher or as a research worker in Chem'st 1 ry. The Geometry and Algebra classes, taught by I. J. Laws, is a perfect fools paradise for as the stud ts d h b ' ' en stan at t e oard solving their problems he proceeds to embarrass them to the fullest extent, or in plain words, makes a fool out of them. The marvel woman mathematician of this high school is Mrs. McCowan. She teaches Geometry, Advanced Algebra, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry Mrs. McCowan will not let us take a picture of her or will she give us one of her for she says, I don't want m f y ormer students to remember me for what I look like, but I want them to remember what I teach and what I have taught them. x W 4, x A. I 1' jr I MR. MRS. MISS CONOVER LINDENBERGER WELLS COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT To get into the business world, there must be some gate you pass through to attain the oal you have hopefully set for yourself In high school you can gain the latchkey to this gate by g . careful study of subjects such as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial law, business Eng' ' ' f k ' 'bl f r us to take lish, and commercial geography. Our present day school system ma es it poss1 e o any of these subjects. Large numbers of students trudge hourly each day to the business classes of Mrs. Linden' berger and Miss Wells. Through their teaching of typing, shorthand, and office practice many stu' dents are trained to burst into the business world with great success. In the office practice class the students receive valuable experience in the working of all the different types of office machines. By using these machines the pupils put out many different kinds of programs, tests, and other kinds of printed matter for the school. Mr. Felten, a member of the bar, efficiently teaches the subjects of business English and commercial law. A very good bookkeeper is Mr. Conover, who heads the bookkeeping department. Under his direction many capable bookkeepers are turned out every year. Mr. Foley also belongs in this list of the teachers of the commercial arts. He teaches com' mercial geography and bookkeeping. QQ rx in ..-A V' Tw 9, A l is 9. MR' 1 FELTEN FOLEY SCIENCE DEPARTMENT CHEMISTRY When prehistoric man learned to keep his 'first fire going to warm his body he was, un- wittingly, the world's first human chemist. The subject of chemistry deals with the transforma- tions that matter undergoes when it changes from one substance to another. A Ere is a good example of such a change. The high school chemistry classes study the fundamental laws governing chemical changes. The chemical changes that take place around the student in his daily life are stressed. During the second semester the student makes a report of his own choosing on a chemif cal topic. Those interested in agriculture may report on the relationship of the science to agrif culture, the budding housewife to the home, the young engineer to the occupation he thinks he is interested in, etc. The possible topics are legion. The occupations directly or indirectly related to either physics or chemistry total more than all others in an industrial society. The guidance aspects of these subjects are stressed in the Benton Harbor High School. The 1939 seniors in Chemistry have shown much initiative in their chemistry reports. Their interests cover a wide field ranging from the general cultural value of the subject to its relation- ship to specific trades and occupations. 1-Q... I I sv-s sssf S MR. MR. MR. MR. APPLEBEE FARNUM SMITH STANLEY BIOLOGY Th The biology classes daily learn much about all kinds of insects, animals, and plants. ese classes are instructed by Mr. Farnum, Mr. Stanley, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Harrod. 4-NL 2. i PHYSICS There are few subjects taught in our high school that can equal physics in terms of useful' ness. Every act that we perform involves some physical law. It is true that physics requires mathef matics, however, a high school physics course should not have the solving of problems its chief objective. The principal objective should be to instill in every student a greater appreciation of the importance of the physical laws of nature, our home, and the community. In New York this is accomplished by the World's Fair, in our high school by the use of a thesis. Each student chooses a project that represents either a hobby or an interest. The project is developed by the collecting of data, reading of various articles, studying of manufacturers' specifications and charts, and in some cases personal interviews with prominent scientists. In the past three years 265 theses have been placed in the Physics Library Files. Every thesis has been a credit to the writer. A few theses that have unusual titles are: The Evolution of the Wheelg Black Lightg Flame Hardening of Steel, Venture Tubes, Pianoforteg Einstein Theory, A Study of the Polygraph, Air' plane Propsg Electrical Hearing Aids for the Deaf, Ford Wind Tunnelg and Air Foils. The laboratory experiment shows the commercial methods of determining the electrical resistance of various kinds of wires, different diameters, and lengths. Janeth Dixon and Donna Dewey are demonstrating a method for determining resistance. AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT The graduate of the agricultural curriculum should have skill and knowledge in not only the vocation of farming, but a broad general educa- tion which will enable him to become an intelligent and useful citizen. 1 in 3 -5 sofe ' tra FIELD WORK The Agricultural Department of the high school has been in operation since 1918. At the present time, there are approximately 100 boys taking the agricultural courses of Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Farm Crops and Soils. Most of these boys carry on summer project work for which they receive school credit. The 71st chapter of the Future Farmers of America is the student organization sponsored by the Agricultural Department.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The 71st chapter of the Future Farmers of America elected the following officers for 193869: President . . . . George Glade Vice President . . . Robert Tillstrom Secretary . . Raymond Buckman Treasurer .... . . . Frank Deaner Athletic Manager . . James Bermingham Reporter ......... . Roy Vicini During the year the F.F.A. sponsored several activities such as the Southwestem Michif gan Fruit and Flower Show, exhibits in various fairs in Berrien County and at Grand Rapids, Fa' ther and Son Banquet, judging contests, and county F.F.A. picnic during the summer. In May several of the members attended the State F.F.A. Convention at Michigan State College and took part in the state judging and speaking contests. Roy Elson and Virgil McClure were the local delegates to the convention, and Don Smith participated in the speaking contest. Boys who entered the judging contests were: Robert Tillstrom, Albert Pollyea, James Bermf ingham, Raymond Buckman, Roy Vicini, Edwin Foster, George Glade, Robert Remus, and Laurel Piggott. Robert Remus, Allan Feather, and Bernard Fishler represented Benton Harbor as the apple judging team at the Grand Rapids Apple Show. . In December of 1938 a Berrien County F.F.A. was organized among the eight chapters in the county. George Glade was elected Treasurer of the county organization. The F.F.A, is a national organization with over 200,000 members in every state and United States possession. The national convention is held in October of each year at Kansas City. The F.F.A. has four degrees in its membership: Green Hand, Future Farmer, State Farm- er, and American Farmer. Boys must meet certain requirements to attain these different degrees. The Benton Harbor chapter has had five boys who received the State Farmer degree at the state convention. -J I . ieegtti- so -1 HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT O Q . ti x 4: Q nv. Q? M155 MISS VQLLE T O CAROLUS This department prepares the student to transform the apples in the display above into apple pies. In other words it prepares and enables the women of tomorrow to manage a home. Besides the regular courses in Foods, Clothing, and Home Management, Miss Volle teaches Boys' and Girls' Social Problems. These lat- ter courses are designed to give the pupils some preparation for the prob- lems of daily living. SPEECH DEPARTMENT The Speech Department is administered by Miss Hansen and Miss Berryman. Its purpose is to develop the desire and skills for vocal expression and as such is the culmination of a certain phase of the English program. Dramatics and debate are 'fine examples of learning by doing. And so we look upon them as a. vital part of our curriculum. ' 73 1 N U E it X . .1.p ., -'iff ' i H..

DRAMATICS CLASS The Dramatics Class of 193889 was organized as a club in November by Miss Adela Hansen, director of Dramatics. The following officers were elected: President .......... Ruth Holder Vice President . . .... Robert Hunt Secretary . . . . . Jacquelyn Anderson Treasurer . . . . Norma Pangborn Advisor ........ Miss Adela Hansen Several interesting and successful projects were included in its activities, which included a display of a group of miniature stages, each representing an outstanding scene from some clasf sic play. A skit for the carnival was prepared by three separate casts and a group of poster artists and general advertisers, thus comprising the entire class. Among the short plays prepared and pref sented during the second semester was The Wonder Hat, a harlequinade. It was studied as a type, historically and as to its possible settings and costuming. The ideas of the class were carried out in detail. Makefup was studied by the entire class and brought into effect during the production of the Operetta Tune In, all of the chorus being made up by members of the club. The inter- pretation of dramatic poetry and the study of one long play, The Rivals, completed the year's work. MANUAL ARTS The Manual Arts Department of Harbor High gives the boy who doesn't want to fol- low a profession a chance to make good throughout his life in the world of trade in skilled labor. The young man who graduates with these thoughts can generally get a job as he has prepared himself in the line of Drafting, Machine Work, Mechanics, or many others which he has access to due to the many courses offered in the Correspondence Department. The Correspondence De' partment offers enough courses, all at a nominal fee, so that he can have something with which to catch his future employer's eye for a promotion, or make him a jack of all trades. The Correspondence Department, headed by Mr. Middaugh, is of great value to the school as it provides a way by which many students are able to take a vast number of subjects which otherwise they would not be able to fit into their schedules. At the back of the barn, we can see Mr. Beachum presiding over a class of young craftsmen. Here all kinds of woodwork are turned out, including desks, chairs, and tables. All boys taking this course are capably trained for a woodworking career. ln the small onefroomed schoolhouse overlooking the beautiful winding St. joseph River, Mr. Thorp oversees and trains many boys to become artful draftsmen. The boys draw every kind of object and someday will probably find good jobs doing this type of work.

DEBATE SQUAD The Benton Harbor High School Debate Squad for 193889, coached by Miss Marjory Berryman, was composed of the following members: George Ablin David Kahn Marjory Crandall Frances Karbadon Charles Grosfield Alfred Schwartz William Scott The Squad entered tournament at Holland, where the Negative met Middleville, Matta- wan, and Ludington, and the Affirmative debated North Muskegon, Otsego, and Grand Rapids Lee. In the Michigan Forensic Association debates, the Negative met St. JOS6ph and Kalamazoo Cen' tral and the Affirmative debated Kalamazoo Central and Grand Rapids Central. The question for debate this year was, Resolved: That the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. MUSIC DEPARTMENT For many years the music departments in Benton Harbor High School have been a thing of widespread interest among the students and especially among the members of the community. The bands are of paramount interest in the marching and football seasons, while the glee clubs hold the spotlight through the fall and winter months. The fact that Music hath charms, is amply proven by the music departments in Benton Harbor High School. Many successful operettas and music festivals have been given under the efficient musif cal direction of Mrs. Grosse. Also she teaches harmony and turns out students who can write their own music. Our stern Prussian maestro, Mr. Schlabach, preside over our large boys' band. Also he directs our high school orchestra. The high school girls' band bursts forth into many musical notes under the direction of Mr. Suppiger. Pinnegar, Feather, Ellett.

During the season before the operetta, choir rehearsals are temporarily discontinued un' ,l spring, when many engagements for them are anticipated. In past years the choir has carried on much the same type of activity. The organiza' ion has successfully existed in school for years and we know its success will continue.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB This year the members of the Girls' Glee Club met in the music room during the sixth period on Tuesday and Thursday under the capable direction of Mrs. Reba Grosse. Last fall we Worked very hard on the Fall Music Festival. The combined glee clubs sang parts from Wagner's operas. Betty Leiby sang the solo from Senta's Ballad from The Flying Dutchman. We also sang d'Villanelle, by Del1'Acqua. On December 23 we sang Christmas carols in assembly. The operetta, Tune In, given March 16 and 17 was a snappy, swingy, fast-moving musical comedy which turned out to be a huge success. The leads were taken by Betty Leiby, Dick VanHoevan, Nancy Filstrup, Bill Ellet, Janeth Dixon and Rol- land Phillips. GFFICERS President ..... ......................

BOYS' GLEE CLUB The Boys' Glee Club, composed of forty members, has been fortunate in the past year in having one of the best groups in regard to voices and bal- ance in the memory of its popular director, Mrs. Reba Grosse. During the first semester of this year the following officers were elected: PRESIDENT ........ ......... R ichard VanHoevan SECRETARY ....... ..........

They also took part in the Christmas assembly program, singing Winter Song, by Bullard, and March of the Three Kings, an old French carol. In the second semester the Boys' co-operated with the Girls' Glee Club to stage the musical comedy Tune In, by Don Wilson. The boys also made several appearances later in the spring. On the whole, the Boys' Glee Club has enjoyed a very good season. il Top Row QLeft to Rightl: Allen, E. Nimtz, State, Soper, Sabin, Packer, Tillstrom, Bateman, Raeside, Hill,Bellows.

The eighty girls who make up the allfgirls' band of Harbor High have proven this. They are a funfloving group. On September 30 the Girls' Band went by bus to Kalamazoo, where they shared the spot' light of the Harbor lHighfCentral football game. A special drill was given between the halves, BfHfHfS and KfC were the formations performed. Two new drum majors have been added to the staff of the Girls' Band in the persons of Elenor Rock and Virginia Hamilton. Between halves of the NilesfBenton Harbor game on October 7 we put on a tricky drill which included the formation of the words HfO'WfDfY NfIfLfEfS. Our winter concert on February 1 was a grand success. An unusual feature which added to the accomplishments of the band was an A Capella Choir. This was part of A Fantasy in Blue arranged by our able director, Mr. Russell Suppiger. ' Throughout the year we took part in various other celebrations and played on different occasions.

BOYS' BAND The Benton Harbor High School Boys' Band had a full season in the fall, marching for all but one of the home games and for numerous parades. It united with the Girls' Band in the St. Joseph football game and made a large radio outlined in lights. It honored Coach Roels in one of its football drills. In the spring of 1938 it went into competition at Elkhart and emerged National Regional Marching Champions. This title is in our possession for two years and may be used by us in any way. For the St. joseph game, a new drumfhead which made quite a hit was purchased with National Marching Champions written on it. Each member received a medal at this contest. In the summer Band, numerous concerts were played, a benefit baseball game was played and the band went to the Michigan State Fair in the latter part of August. Here also, each band member received a medal. On Thanksgiving, a benetit football game was given for the band in order to send it to the American Legion Convention in Chicago, The money taken in from this game went into a trust fund.

FOOTBALL SISTERS The Football Sisters is a club made up entirely of girls. There were eighty active mem bers, and with the fine co-operation of the girls and the advisor, Miss Carolus, and the assistant advisor, Miss Volle, the Sisters of 1938 earned enough money not only to sponsor the annual Football Banquet but a theater party for the girls as well. The Football Banquet was held December 14 at the Rose Room in the Vincent Hotel. The speaker of the evening was Coach Wally Weber of Michigan and movies were shown of the games between Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Sisters also had charge of a small banquet given by Mr. Mitchell in honor of the first team for their exceptionally good showing at the Muskegon game. The girls have charge of all the concessions where candy, pop, hot dogs, peanuts, and popcorn are sold. They showed very fine sportsmanship and sold in all kinds of weather. The Football Sisters are one of the football team's staunchest backers. OFFICERS President ........ Suzanne Brown Vice President . . . . Pat Curtis Secretary . . . Leon Elliott Treasurer . . .

USHER CLUB The year of 1939 finishes the eighteenth year that the Usher Club has served Benton Har- bor High School. In 1921 Phillip Lovejoy organized the Usher Club, whose main function is ushering for school events. In its eighteen years of service the Usher Club has earned the title of being one of the most important clubs in extraecurricular activities. The duties of the ushers are: to usher patrons to seats when seating capacity is limited, to assist patrons when reserved seats are used, and to take tickets at the door. The ushers try to be as courteous, alert, and efficient as possible. Such events as graduation exercises, football, and basketball games, dramatics, and glee club shows, and concert lecture series head the list that the Usher Club takes charge of. The Usher Club feels very proud at having Mr. Don J. Harrod as advisor and is especially indebted to him, for under his sincere and capable leadership another successful year may be chalked up. 99 First Row Left to Right: Damon, Anderson, Raeside, Hahn, Elsner, Ziemke, Heyboer, Jackson, Grootendorst, Fritz, Strunk, Archer.

BASKETBALL SISTERS The Basketball Sisters is an organization which takes as members any girls who care to om. J Members of the organization offer their services by selling candy, hot dogs, etc., at all home games. At the end of each season the funds obtained from these sales are used to give the boys of the basketball squad a banquet. Although the club is not very old, it grows in number each year. Due to the good efforts of an able advisor, Miss Volle, the club enjoyed an excellent year. OFFICERS President ......... Juanita Garber Vice President . . A. . .

GIRL RESERVES Girl Reserves is a worldfwide organization of young girls sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. The club strives to give proper mental, physical, and spiritual training to all the problems of girl' hood. This year the program has consisted of a series of discussions on Family and Friend Rela' tions. Viewpoints on family co'operation for car and radio and house work, a reasonable time to get home, boy and girl relations, styles and proper dress, and how to make and keep friends were some things discussed. At Thanksgiving the true Girl Reserve spirit was demonstrated when the club collected food for baskets. These were delivered to deserving families. For the carnival the Girl Reserve Club sponsored the cabaret which was a huge success. Every year two girls are sent to the State Girl Reserve Convention. They come back with many new ideas for the club and friendships with other Girl Reserves throughout the state. Jane Foley, President of Girl Reserves this year, went to the Conference last year and learned a lot of valuable things. The Y.W.C.A. is always open to any Girl Reserve who wants to go and use the swim' ming pool, gym, or the game rooms. Miss Lois Featherstone, from the Y.W.C.A. in Saint Joseph, is the advisor of the club. She is the person who keeps our spirits up when things don't go so well. The club has forty members enlisted and all the girls come to the meetings and enjoy them very much. The entire group is very enthusiastic and eager to do new things all the time. Meetings are held on the second and fourth Monday of each month in the club room. ., A if First Row Left to Right: Murdick, Baccash, Deaner, Filstrup, Brown, Stolpe, Eppic, Appel, Mauch.

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club is a Christian organization which endeavors to guide young men toward advancing society to a better and higher life. It gives them a chance to express their own ideas and put them into actual operation. They gain experience in cofoperative work, learn to take responsibilities, and thus build up self-confidence and a good character. Q The HifY Club engaged in many activities during the past year and succeeded in accom- plishing some worthfwhile things. Two members of the club were present at the annual Older Boys' Conference held in Grand Rapids in the fall of 1938. Also, in the month of December this organization staged its most successful party in recent years. It sponsored various types of sup- pers at the Y.M.C.A. at which someone usually ate more than his capacity. The HifY has been very active in sports the past two seasons, playing exchange games of baseball with other clubs and playing in an intramural basketball league. Although not highly successful in sports this season, a high degree of comradeship was developed among the members of the club. Mr. john Bridgham is the HifY's distinguished advisor, and we, the HifY members, wish to thank both him and Mr. Champion, Boys' Secretary at the Y.M.C.A., for their time, co-opera' tion, advice, and guidance which have been an invaluable part of the club.

The Triangle Club, being a Junior organization of the HifY, is concemed in general with the same aims as that organization. One of the aims of the club is to help new students become better acquainted in the school. The club has sent two student representatives to the HifY Conference at Lansing and has also contributed to the Good Fellows Fund during the Christmas season.

SIGMA LAMBDA SIGMA Sigma Lambda Sigma, the senior literary society, was started in the fall of 1928 by Miss Hazel Harrington, instructor in English, and four senior girls: Mary Wilson, Jennie Grossman, Pauline Krezir, and Iris Winklepeck, who took a very active interest in literature. Sigma, Lambda, and Sigma are the Latin names for the three letters S.L.S. representing Senior Literary Society. The constitution was drawn up and eight other girls were invited to join, it being strictly a senior club. Each year the club members elect from the Junior class of that year their successors, who must have a good scholastic standing and must show a decided interest in literature. Two meetings are held each month, on the second and fourth Mondays. At each of these meetings one member of the club reports on the life and writings of some contemporary author. One of 'the club's purposes is to purchase several new outstanding books for the school library. This year some very interesting meetings were held at the various homes of the fourteen mem' bers. Such authors a Cather, Morley, Deeping, Poe, Bromfield, Wharton, etc., were reported on and discussed. OFFICERS President ......... Ruth Holder Vice President . . ..... jane Foley Secretary . . . .

WRITERS' CLUB At the beginning of the year, when questionnaires were sent out asking the students what new clubs they wanted, some eighty said they wanted a writers' club. The Writers' Club was organized as a result of this need. To be sure, we did not get eighty members. Some were too shy or fwe suspectj too lazy to join, so we started with a modest dozen. Our meetings were extremely informal and we wrote whatever and whenever we felt like it. However, we had accumulated a fair amount of good material by spring. Feeling that we needed a more formal organization with a view toward a more permanent club, we reorganized the club in April, renaming it Escritoire, and inviting in promising junors and sophomores. The Club now numbers about twenty, the new members being Bill Brown, jean Bellows, Jane Ewers, john Ackenhusen, Vern Beckwith, Betty Henke, David Kahn, Betty Soper, Marie Moore, Eris Jacobsen, Eleanor Howard, Elmer Reil. With this nucleus we hope that Escritoire will go on to finer things next year and become a vital part of the English program.

Great tribute should go to him for the part he has played in making a success of this society. With a beautiful and impressive ceremony the usual yearly induction takes place in the spring. The students are chosen for their democratic qualities, scholarship, service, character, and leadership, which are carried out by the theme of the induction.

INTRODUCTION TO Tl-IE COACHES The coaches are so busy running their respective teams that it was impossible to get them all together at one time to take a group picture of them. With this writefup you will only find the pictures of the football coaches, but this write'up will be about all of them. The pictures of the other coaches will be found with their teams. COACHES The coaching staff of the school athletics led their teams through another season of great development. Carleton B. Roels took over the head football duties this year. Hailing from Lawrence College and more recently from Chippewa Falls, Wis., where he has been coach for the past several years, Roels led his men to their most successful season in several years. William Bill Perigo, popular Tiger cage mentor and a graduate of Westem State Teachers' College, led the netmen for his third season. Wellfliked by players and fans, he has done much in arousing interest for basketball throughout the community. He also serves as assistant track coach in spring. Athletic Director Jack Smith completed his twelfth year as a member of the staff this season. Serving as head track coach in addition to his other duties, Smith has tried to find some sport for every boy interested. He received his college training at the Michigan State Normal at Ypsilanti. Leslie Douglass, of invaluable assistance to Roels, completed his fifth season as varsity line coach. Doug also handles the intra-mural baseball in the Spring. He is a graduate of the Univer- sity of Michigan. COACHES-fContinuedJ Ivan J. Laws, B team football coach for the last eleven years, led the Tiger 'Cubs again last season. A graduate of Illinois University, he has built up a reputation for developing inexperienced boys into potential varsity men. Don Farnum, Perigo's classmate at Western, led the Tiger second team for the third year. His coaching gives ambitious sophomores a chance to develop into varsity material. Lloyd Chappel, a newcomer to the coaching ranks, joined the staff as cross-country coach last fall. A brilliant runner, who once wore the Orange and Black stripe, he brought the sport back into its own by developing several classy runners. He also is serving as assistant track coach this spring. john Bridgham, newlyeappointed tennis coach, completes the staff. Bridgham won letters in the sport at Grinnel and he is hoping to bring forth a strong squad this season. 6 qv fLeft to Rightl: Leach, Reid, Grams, Trux, Miller, Boettcher. MANAGERS The managers of the athletic teams deserve credit for the excellent way in which they handled the equipment and looked after the bruises and bumps of the athletes during the year. Performing a job to which little glory and much work is attached, these boys are of invaluable aid to the- school.. Letters were awarded to Leach, Stanley Miller, Trux, Clyde Reid, and Alfred Boettcher. .4 ,ff X Front Row Seated Left to Right: Brown, Kennedy, Pedde, Flatts, Coach Roel-s, Coach Doug- lass, Snover, Reid, Stovall, Hendrix, D.

' Night games. SEASON SUMMARY With a new and experienced coach-Mr. Carleton B. Roels-at the helm, an almost com' pletely veteran crew of Tigers got off to a brilliant start in the 1938 season with an easy victory over the Dowagiac Chieftans. The little school fought hard but the Bengals' great all-around play brought victory to them. The next weekfend, the team travelled to Kalamazoo to do battle with the big maroons. Although the line, led by guards Hampton and Ireland, pushed the Celery City boys all over the ield in the Erst half, a couple of long runs by Berry, their all-state back, clinched the game. Back on their own field, the Tigers resumed their winning ways by taking measure of a listless Niles eleven. The statistics showed Niles took a worse beating than the score indicated. Muskegon's Big Reds really got a scare as they made it three decades since a local team has beaten them. The Tigers threatened all the way, and iinally crept up to within one point when Hen- drix scored after Taylor deposited a long pass inches from the goal line. With two minutes to play they had the ball on the Reds' four'yard line. In spite of this, the contest was a moral victory for the Bengals and the fans were justly proud of their team's heroic efforts. Inability to score from within the ten-yard line kept the Bengals' total against Grand Haven from mounting. In spite of this, they turned in another fine game and raised high their fans' hopes of a great season. Still drinking deeply of the bittemess of last year's defeat, the boys returned the follow- ing week to trounce their old Maize and Blue rivals from across the river. Before nearly five thousand fans, they excelled in every department of the game and really evened up the year'old score. In a driving November rainstorm, our Tigers fought to a scoreless tie with Muskegon Heights' Tigers. Both teams were hampered by the conditions and true test might have brought about a changed score. It is interesting to note- that Heights was the only team to equal our boys in total yardage, each gaining 106. The following Saturday, the Tigers romped to an easy victory over the demoralized Dutch' men of Holland. Several sophomores showed well in this game-particularly Peckham and Buck' ner-showing great promise for the 1939 season. The climax of the season, which ended the high school careers of nineteen seniors, saw the Tigers tie the hardfiighting St. Augustine team from Kalamazoo. After the season, anotner honor came to the team when Glenn Ireland was named on the All-state team. To Coach Roels and his boys orchids for bringing to our school one of the most sucf cessful seasons in many years. W .

Opening the conference season, the Tigers ran into difficulties in the form of Marcecek, crack forward of Muskegon Heights, as they took their initial defeat. Peckham kept the Bengals in the game with thirteen points. The Big Reds from Muskegon invaded the Harbor gym next with their veteran team to hang the second loss on the Tigers. Peckham again paced the attack with ten points. The zone defense of the Grand Haven boys in their box gym bottled up Peckham and Elsner the following week as the Havenites turned on the power in the second half to cinch the victory. Qlimbing back to .500, the Orange and Black took over their rivals from across the river. The holding of St. Joes ace, Fillbrandt, to one point and Elsner's shooting featured the victory. Showing the best teamwork of the season, the boys lost a tough one to the rangy Dutch from Holland. For a time the Tigers led, but the Dutch height proved too much. Elsner shone bril- liantly as he played his final high school encounter, scoring eleven points and showing beautiful def fensive work. Replacing Ace was a tough job for Rusty McGrath, and though the next two games were unimpressive, Red gradually became a part of the club and teamwork again was shown. Muskegon ws the victim of the team's newffound spirit and took a 33f27 licking for the Tiger's first conference victory. This was by far the best game of the season from all angles. Peck' ham turned in twelve points to lead the scoring, but the team as a unit played well. Meeting a hot Grand Haven team, led by DeWitt, the team suffered another setback. Twentyfone points in the third period put the game on ice for the visitors. In a rough ball game, the Harbor-ites dropped the Holland boys in a 14 to 13 thriller. Defense featured this defeat of the conference leaders. Catastrophe struck the team when Red McGrath broke his leg the following week at Kalamazoo. This greatly dimmed the chances in the regional. Peckham's eleven points featured the attack. Before the regional the following Friday, Smith injured his knee and the team was left without experienced guards. With this handicap, the boys succumbed to a Kalamazoo rally in the second half to drop from the tournaments. In the inale of the season, the boys came back to take an oftfpostponed St. Joe. game. The third combination, composed mostly of Juniors, clicked beautifully as Peckham led his mates with sixteen points. Though perhaps unsuccessful from the games-wonfand-lost angle, the season can be con- sidered a success, as Coach Perigo develoed some boys who should do much in future seasons. Peck ham was highfscorer for the year with 119 points. First Row Left to Right: Gardner, Farce, McGrath, Mr. Farnum, Krygowski, Grenewetzki, Rosenhagen, Hendrix.

Under the guidance of Coach Don Farnum, the second team enjoyed fair success, as several good varsity prospects for the coming seasons were developed. McGrath, who came up in the middle of the year and was of such aid to the varsity, got much valuable experience with the ref serves. Several other players, including Klum, Schadler, Rosenhagen, Gardner, Orcutt, and Hen' irix, will probably be varsity candidates next season. Klum led the reserves in scoring with 104 Joints.

Letters were awarded to Hartman, Stubalt, Barrick, Martelle, Siamanf ton and Vicini, with minor awards going to Allerton, Jerue, and Jones.

CHEERLEADING Cheerleading, some say, is the easiest way to let off steam and still be patriotic. Tc others, cheerleading is the mastering of mob psychology. But we know that it is still one of the bes ways to infuse school spirit into a student body. The ninetyfnine per cent perspiration and one per cent inspiration is slightly change: here. You get ninetyfnine per cent inspiration and change it into ninetyfnine per cent perspiration In other words, a cheerleader must work herself or himself into such a point of enthusiasm that thi cheering section, through vocal chords, will respond with the same amount of energy. Transmitting a roaring crowd into a message of encouragement for the team seem to be one of the glorious things left to do. A megaphone, cheering voice, and a lot of pep are still 'symbols of school spirit ani tradition. The cheerleaders have done their best this year to carry out the duties, aforementionec of inspiring the students of our school to their utmost. They have practiced diligently ani worked up original ideas for pep meetings. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Berryman the cheel leaders have become an organized and recognized school group.
