We’ve spent in the halls of this high school The happiest years of our life, And now as we leave its dear portals We’ll meet with much turmoil and strife. The last class passes, and we know That we’ll never pass again, As the honored Seniors of thirty-five To meet in one jolly band. And now with our banners all flying And colors that wave as we go, A feeling of sadness comes o’er us That only a Senior can know. One last fond farewell will we render, Emotions of joy and of pain, As we, to our dear Alma Mater Say adieu in a heart felt refrain. By Phyllis Sexton CLASS SONG (Tune to Winter Wonderland) Gone away are our School Days, Now we've come to the by-ways. With this our Song We’ll try to struggle on Without dear old Berrien High. We have studied together, In all kinds of weather, With laughter and tears, We’ll work through the years Thinking of dear old Berrien High. Let us not despair nor look behind On the upward road be willing to climb Not forgetting but keeping our memories alive To the dear old class of 1935. Later on should we meet, And each other chance to greet We'll talk unafraid Of the plans that we made In the dear old days of Berrien High. By Mary Shafer EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF THE SENIOR CLASS Sept. 10, 1931 School started off with a boom. We arc as green as any Freshman. There are fifty-five in our class, some of the students from the country act like they were lost. Mr. Hawkins is our Sponsor. Dec. 23, 1931 Last night we had a class party in the Gym. It was a lot of fun. Now we arc looking forward to another one next semester. May 31, 1932 Now that school is out we shall enter next year as Sophomores, that is most of us will. We had an all-school picnic at Indian Lake Friday. It was too cold to have much fun. We Freshmen had a good laugh when a couple of Seniors couldn’t maintain their equilibrium in a boat and fell overboard. Sept. 12, 1932 Do we feel proud, and do some of the things we did last year seem crazy. Our class has somewhat diminished. A most divine youngster entered our class, he is tall, dark, and handsome. Jan. 15, 1933 We received our class pins last week. We are very well satisfied. Anne Kurnat left us and went to Chicago at the beginning of this semester. June 5, 1933 We climaxed the year with another school picnic. We received our report cards and found our entire group were upper class-men! Juniors!! Sept. 14, 1933 Aha! Juniors, that’s what we are, next to the highest class in school. Mrs. Crittenden is our Sponsor. Miss Buell left us this year. The coming Sophs don’t know what they missed. We surely are glad, luck was with us for once. Our numbers were increased by one, a keen-minded girl who had gone to Central High School for the last two years, Frances Winters. Dec. 23, 1933 We received our class rings and are very proud of them. Every one is envying us. March 5, 1934 Two of our members, Evelyn Tudor and Leon Burgoync, were chosen to take leading parts in the Junior-Senior Play, entitled “The Ranch on Sunset Trail.” Other minor parts were also taken by our classmates. June 3, 1934 We gave the Seniors a nice prom, serving refreshments in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. We felt very dignified when we marched in with the Seniors at Commencement. We are now Seniors. We had an allschool picnic again. Sept. 14, 1934 Well, under classmen, one side please, we arc Seniors at last. As dignified classmen, known as Seniors, we entered the portals of Berrien Springs High School. Mrs. Jess-wein-Bender is our Sponsor. Dec. 2, 1934 Last month we sponsored a Carnival and appreciated all the cooperation given us by the under classmen, and it proved a great success. The proceeds of the Carnival are to be used in publishing a real “Canoe.” Dec. 23, 1934 We had a Christmas party in the sewing room. A gift exchange, a Christmas tree, and a good time were the features of this party. Feb. 2, 1935 An important class meeting! The colors to fly for us at Commencement were selected, Blue and Silver. Only a class like the one of '35 would select “Build for character, not for fame” as its motto. They believe it to! Lily of the valley is the flower. The following class officers were selected during this meeting: President ............ Robert Ewalt Vice President _________ Bessie Olney Secretary Phyllis Sexton Treasurer Warren Shafer March 1, 1935 Scholarship grades were announced today. Ten people in the class had a four-year average of 90 or above. Frances Winters headed the list and Leon Burgoyne came Continued on page 18 THE CANOE Il3l SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ‘‘Ladies, gentlemen, and faculty, this is Bessie Olney announcing for the National Broadcasting Company over station BSHS. with a frequency of 1935 kilocycles.

Seldom trimmed And frequently go out at night.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY v - In the one thousand nine hundred and thirty-fifth year of our Lord, the Junior Class of Berrien Springs High School, invoking the blessings of Mathematics, English, Latin, and other devil-gods of the school, doth hereby and forewith deign to record its illustrious career. In the fall of nineteen thirty-two a great horde, fifty-six in number, did invade Berrien Springs High School. This horde, wild and untamed though they did seem, today, in a number diminished to forty doth constitute the sedate and superior Junior Class. Being grimly led by Mr. Hawkins, Mrs. Crittenden et cetera through the profound and prodigious mysteries of Algebra, English and other menaces to sanity, this army did finally emerge from the chaos exploiting a new banner with captain—Sophomores. Another summer did speed its way and another school year did dawn with the Sophomore Class of forty-five members, filled with great desire to create for themselves a name. And this they did, and did become an important factor in diverse activities and in particular, basketball. After they did partake of several wild orgies, known as parties and picnics, they became Juniors. Their fame did increase in the aforementioned field, their own candidate did become Sovereign of the High School Carnival, they did participate creditably in the Junior-Senior play and did nobly entertain the Seniors in the spring of nineteen thirty-five. Again we ask mercy of the gods on the above, being the record of the class of teen thirty-six to date. HeleiVVDK'lor Ll U, .

How different from our experience last year as inquiring Freshmen. How we wandered around, getting lost, missing classes, and enduring all those other embarrassing moments. I notice our class has two new members. In all, we number forty-three. Miss Natalie Jordan is the class sponsor. We expect to have a fine year under her kind supervision. September 28 The first class meeting was held today. The class officers were elected for this semester. After all kinds of brawling and yelling, we finally settled down to business. The following were elected: Elizabeth Bur-goyne. President; Ira Halt, Vice President; James Hinkley, Secretary; Elinor Wilson, Treasurer; and Margaret Hoopmgarner, Reporter. Things ought to begin to happen with officers like these. October 2 A popularity contest was held today. The winner of each class will compete for the crown at the carnival. Alleyne Brenner was chosen from our Sophomore Class. She is one of the Berrien Center girls and attended school here in the seventh and ninth grades. She will be remembered as one of the grandest girls in our class. January 27 Another class meeting was held tonight, Murray Anstiss was chosen President; Mildred Staley, Vice President; Edith Zech, Secretary; Otto Hood, Treasurer; and Forrest Kesterke, Reporter. It looks like we are going to have an interesting last semester. February 16 Every year the Sophomore Class has class pins. Last October we selected our pins. We just received them today. Of course to us they arc the most attractive ot any. They are little gold pins with black lettering. We all think they simply take the cake. I wonder how soon the boys’ pins will find new owners? March 14 The Sophomores held their class party tonight. Many of the teachers were present. In fact there were nearly as many teachers as Sophomores. The evening was spent in playing cards, games, and dancing. It is usually the bigger the crowd the better, but this time it proved just the opposite. After a hilarious evening, we partook of cake and jello and went home. THE CANOE 19 3 5 [251 Top Row: FRESHMEN Clem, Shukwiicr, Shafer.

His wife, a wiry, gray haired woman with horn-rimmed glasses that slid half-way down her nose, was knitting. The old man look up from a tattered book and said to his wife: “Well, Ma, I was just looking thru’ the high school annual that the class of ’35 published. We were only Freshmen then—but we had some good times in those days, didn’t we? I remember the high-lights of that year real well. What a laugh we got out of the concessions at the High School Carnival! And that home talent play that the P. T. A. sponsored—remember—what was the name of it—oh yes, “Crazy Politics.” And you were a chorus girl. I swear, Ma, that you’re as youthful now as you were then.” “Now Pa!” blushed his wife, “you flatter me. Remember our class party? Even our sponsor, Mr. Hawkins, dried dishes that night. He was the basketball coach, wasn’t f26l he? Let’s see—Fay Nightlinger and what was that Shafer boy’s name—?” “Willis, my dear,” her husband supplied. “Oh yes, and Bob Storick and Junior Hogue played basketball. My! weren’t those four boys proud of themselves!” “Yes, they were! Wasn’t Butch Moyer our class President? and let’s see—Arlene Wetzel was Treasurer. And that girl who was always laughing—Leta Spaulding, I think was Reporter.” “Yes, dear, and Bob Sill was the Vice-President and Junior Hogue was Secretary.” “Well, those were only for the first semester. Wasn’t that Ewalt girl the President and Willis Shafer our Treasurer the second semester?” “Yes,” returned his wife, “and Stuart Shearer was Reporter, Barney Nightlinger was Vice-President and Howard Hoadley was Secretary.” “I guess so,” her husband yawned. “Well.

SEVENTH GRAD Mr. Claar Bedinger was the seventh grade sponsor. He has taken charge of these young people ever since they were promoted to the High School Building. The Seventh Graders found it very hard to regu'ate their time into periods the first semester, but Mr. Bedinger helped them change their course of school life so that before the beginning of the second semester, they were able to do their own planning. There was an enrollment of twenty-three seventh graders in the first semester. The class officers were: President .............. Dick Stahl Vice President Shirley Housam Secretary Gordon Kesterke Treasurer ............ Margaret Frisbe Reporter ............ Bernice Storick These officers planned and gave a Halloween party in the sewing room on October CLASS HISTORY 29, 1934. They appointed committees whose members made it a very enjoyable party. During the second semester, the enrollment increased one more girl. The officers for this semester were: President ........... Pauline Wetzel Vice President........... Bob Wollam Secretary ....... Charlotte Housam Treasurer Harold Burgess Reporter Milford Glasburn The seventh graders participated in many extra curricular activities. The boys formed a harmonica band which has made a few public appearances. It was discovered that many of them have real talent. The boys and girls belonged to the separate Ir. High Glee Club. Many of the boys belong to the High School orchestra and band. A few of the girls have very good records as honor students. THE CANOE 19 3 5 [27] And last but not least, the seventh grade boys show great promise of being star basketball players, although the Jr. High basketball team had lost a few games, the boys have great futures before them. The seventh graders have done very well this year and hope to continue to do so throughout the rest of their school life. EIGHTH GRADE CLASS HISTORY The children were tired of the strenuous work of playing cowboy. So they gathered around their grandmother and begged her to tell them a story. “All right,” she said, I will tell you a story of when I was in school. About my eighth year I entered the Berrien Springs High School. There were around thirty pupils in our class. We had a motto which seemed very funny to me then but it sure was a fine one as I see it now. Let me see, if I remember right I believe it was “Plan your work, then work your p’an.” I believe our Sponsor was Miss Mann and she was a sporty one too. I remember we had a Halloween party the first semester and it sure was fun. It was a masquerade and everyone came dressed in funny costumes. The gymnasium was decorated in orange and black. For refreshments we had sandwiches, apples, and cider. You know that man that lives down here on the corner, Merle Roth, I believe he was our president and the great Movie Star we all saw last night, Maxine Wooley, was our vice president. Arthur Wagner, the man that built this house, was our Secretary and Ethelvn Shearer was our treasurer. I don’t know where she is hut children I want to tell you this, make the best of your school days ’cause they don’t last forever. Now run along and play. Charles Harris. Jr., don’t forget to tell your father I said “hello” and ask him if he remembers this storv I have just told you. “Here is a rose for you “Aunt Marv.” “Oh thank you Helen that was our class flower. You are a dear child.” Merle Ro h TO OUR UNDER-CLASSMEN “If the first time you fail—Try, Try Again.” “Though the impossibility of the thing seemed too great; still we succeeded.” It would have been impossible for us as highest Classmen to complete, successfully, our plans if it had not been for your splendid cooperation during the passing year. To you Juniors we wish to express our hearty appreciation for your ability to get out and help us raise the finances which went toward the publication of this book and we sincerely hope that during the year to come, when you are Seniors, your Junior Class will get out and work for you as you worked for us. It would not only take up too much space but also be impossible for us, as Seniors, to enumerate the little favors and acts of kindness you have done for us. You have given up part of your fun and broken your plans so the last year for us in this high school might be a pleasant one. Maybe you have not done this as a group but it certa’n'.y has been accomplished many times individually. We are able to publish this book, “The Canoe,” which we, as Seniors, are proud of; only because during the month of November, nineteen-hundred and thirty-four, you worked diligently with us to complete our plans for the Carnival, which was a success due entirely to your splendid cooperation. There is only one thing which we regret and that is, that we will not be here next year to help you, in turn, with your plans and thus show you our appreciation for what you have done for us. Thus we justly take this space to heartily thank you for your cooperation in the past year. To you Sophomores, Freshmen, and members of the Junior High, we also wish to give our thanks. You acted as advertisers and barkers for our Carnival. You also helped to finance our book. So for you also we take this space to thank you. We sought your assistance when help was needed; you have often sought us when the task proved too great. Thus through cooperation comes success.

It was a play filled with mystery, thrills, screams, laughs, and romance. The cast portrayed their parts well. The success of the play was due largely to the capable directing of Miss Alice Mann. The play takes place in the early spring on a stormy night about nine o’clock and in the Hobgood House near the Ozark foothills. Miss Priscilla Carter and her two nieces, Marian and Jill, arrive at the house which Miss Carter has purchased from the nephew of the late Horace Hobgood. The two nieces sense something wrong the minute they enter the house. Their aunt pur- f 3 21 HOUSE chased the house for the purpose of getting her two nieces away from Frank Harlow and Jack Loring, Marian and Jill’s fiances respectively. She thinks the boys are in love with the girls’ inheritance which they were soon to receive. The boys are really in love with the girls and are worried about them. They come down to see that the girls are safe. They decide to pose as ghosts and frighten the aunt so that she will be willing to leave Hobgoblin House. But they do not need to do much haunting for there are enough ghostly manifestations going on. A suspended head found in a closet and a headless ghost are discovered. To top it off, a homicidal maniac is roaming around, armed with a butcher’s cleaver. But in the end the mystery is all cleared. The ghostly manifestations are only a kidnaped girl who was held for ransom by a gang who posed as the caretaker, the guard from the insane asylum, and the supposed maniac. The boys capture this gang with Susan the housekeeper. They are each to receive a reward of $25,000 for the capture of the gang and Aunt Priscilla consents to have her nieces marry them. The laughs were furnished by the darky cook and the darky gardener. CANOE HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Top Row: L. Spaulding, Burgoync, Metzger, i logue, V. Porter, Rcisig, Metier, Ewalt.

Each year there is held a State Convention in East Lansing during the first week in May. Each chapter located within the state sends two delegates to this convention. At this time the routine business is taken care of and the degree of State Farmer is conferred upon the candidates who have met certain qualifications.

VARSITY BASKET BALL TEAM Top Row: Gill, Root, Mink Icy, Lewis, Hoadlcy. Bottom Row: Burgoync, Arnold, Dean, Coach Hawkins. ONE MINUTE TO GO! Coach Hawkins this year again produced a winning basketball team for Berrien. The team, composed of Arnold, Dean, Burgoyne, Gill, and Hoadley, regulars and assisted by Lewis, Hinkley, and Root turned out to be a championship team by winning the Berrien County Class C conference championship. The team made the best record that any Berrien team has made—losing only one conference game and winning fourteen out of the seventeen scheduled games. The greatest margin by which any of the three games was lost was three points. The competition was tough and the season was noted for the number of close games. Berrien started the season off with a 33 to 18 victory over the alumni team made up of the past stars of the High School. The next game which was with Buchanan gave the team the first defeat of the season— Buchanan winning by two points on a long shot with but a few seconds to play. Stevens-ville, the next game on the schedule, proved to be tough and Berrien came out the win- ner by only two points. The upset of the season came in the game with Three Oaks when they downed Berrien by a score of 17 to 16. This was the only conference game that was lost and Three Oaks was the only team to defeat Berrien besides Buchanan. The game with New Buffalo was a fight to the finish and when the gun sounded Berrien was the victor by a one-point margin— 19 to 18. In the next game Berrien took Eau Claire by a score of 65 to 5. From then on the team started going and eleven straight victories were recorded. Altho' the season produced many “thrillers” the Coloma game was one of the best when the game had to go into three overtime periods before Berrien could win by one point—39 to 38. Buchanan broke Berrien’s winning streak by defeating the team, this time by three points. The final game of the schedule was with New Troy, which the team took without any difficulty by the score of 38 to 15. 1361 19 3 5 T H VARSITY MEN Coach Hawkins— one of the most important players on the Coach Hawkins has made a very success- team.

The team played fine ball and lost only three games, one to the alumni, one to Stevensville, and one to Buchanan. They lost to the alumni by only four points and to Stevensville by one point. The Buchanan game had to go into an overtime period before the winner could be decided. The team won the Reserve Squad class C championship of the county by not losing a conference game. Many of the second team members developed rapidly through the season and will be promoted to the varsity next year. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT In the district tournament at Niles, Berrien drew Buchanan to play the first night. Berrien started out strong, gaining a 12 to 2 lead and at the half still led 12 to 8. But luck was with Buchanan in the third quarter and they outscored Berrien and gained the lead. In the last quarter the lead changed hands several times but when the game ended Buchanan was leading 24 to 21. SECOND BASKET BALL TEAM Top Row: Hamilton, Sherwood, Storick, Nightlingcr, Shafer.

THE CANOE 1935 1391 BASEBALL Berrien’s baseball team last year proved to be the best in the county and made the best record that any Berrien team has ever made by winning nine games and tieing one out of 10 played, making a perfect record. Berrien began the fall season on September fifteenth with a 4 to 1 win over Galien in a home game. The team invaded Bridgman in the next game and came away victors by the same score—4 to 1. The following game with Eau Claire was a run away— Berrien winning by a score of 23 to 0. The New Buffalo game was the only game in which the team was unable to win and it ended in a tie—5 to 5. In the fifth game played at New Troy, Hand showed his ability as a pitcher, with the score 7 to 6 in Berrien’s favor. New Troy came to bat in the last inning determined to win. They put two men on bases and then Hand struck out three men in a row, winning the game for Berrien. The rest of the games proved to be easy for the team. The last game was the play off of the tic game with New Buffalo. Berrien won a hard fought game and the county championship by defeating New Buffalo 5 to 3. The team started this year's season off by downing Bridgman 7 to 2 and followed this game up with two decisive wins over Eau Claire and Three Oaks, making twelve straight games won and one tie. The next game broke the winning record and New Buffalo defeated Berrien by a score of 5 to 0. Berrien is one of the leading teams in the conference and has a good chance of repeating last year’s success and again winning the county championship.

It is just the right size and type for efficient operation in many citrus groves, orchards, and vineyards. It is unusually compact—low, narrow, and short—slipping easily under low-hanging branches. Its narrow tread permits operating between the trees without injuring crop or trees. With the 0-12 it is not necessary to jockey around or skip rows to get in position for the next row. Sprayers and dusters can be operated direct from the Model 0-12 tractor by means of the power take-off. See the new McCormick-Deering 0-12 at our store. Check its capacity against your needs. It pulls one 16-in. or two 10-in. plow bottoms, and other tools of proportionate size. Phone us for complete information. George W.
