Berrien Springs High School - Canoe Yearbook (Berrien Springs, MI)

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1937 volume:

Ex Libris •i THE CANOE 1937 Published by Senior Class Berrien Springs High School page three Foreword This book, as the ones before it, is a mirror of our four short and happy years at Berrien Springs High School. We have dreamed and planned for this memorable occasion when we would sedately march up to the stage and be handed our diplomas, but now that the end is drawing near, some feel a slight tinge of regret. On the distribution of this book, it will be found to be very pleasant reading and entertainment: in looking at it a few years hence, it will recall many incidents which will make it more significant to us. If this memento serves to bring about a closer relationship between the members of the Class of ’37 in the years to come, it will have served its purpose, Dedication In deepest reverence to one of our best-known and most-beloved townsmen for his loyalty to his and our community, for the deep concern and devotion he holds for the school which is first in our hearts, for his untiring interest in our school’s athletics, and to show our humble appreciation of his wonderful gift of an athletic field, we dedicate this Canoe to William H.

We felt elated and not insignificant little “Cirecnics as many were wont to believe. Mr. Hawkins had the task of sponsoring us through that memorable year, and he was a “swell sport.” We had a class party the first semester and presented a gift to our sponsor. Instead of having a party the second semester, we decided to join the picnic at Indian Lake with the other classes. It was a rather cold day, but every one enjoyed himself. A number of us “helped ourselves” to the Seniors’ ice cream—much to their consternation. The first semester our class officers were as follows: President, Delbert Willson; Vice-President, Arline Shunkwiler; Secretary, Ethel Hockstra; Treasurer, Robert Sherwood; Reporter, John Fleisher; the second semester: President, Alleyne Brenner; Vice-President, Murray Anstiss; Secretary, Gerrie Graham; Treasurer, Wayne Airgood; and Reporter, Madelyn Lochinaw. In September we again entered Berrien High, this time as Sophomores under the sponsorship of Miss Jordon. This was the year everyone received [tins. That was the foremost thought then. During this year an amusing incident occurred that we shall remember. Skipping that we come to the next highlight of the year. The Seniors sponsored a popularity contest. We were very proud to enter Alleyne Brenner. This year our class officers for the first semester were: President, Elizabeth Burgoyne; Vice-President, Ira Halt: Secretary, Jim Hinkley; Treasurer, Eleanor Wilson; Reporter, Margaret Hoopingarner; the second semester: President, Murray Anstiss; Vice-President, Mildred Staley; Secretary, Edith Zech; Treasurer, Otto Hood; and Reporter, Forrest Kcstcrkc. In 1935 we came back as Juniors. To our great delight Mrs. Crittenden was our sponsor. With her leadership and splendid cooperation, we succeeded in accomplishing a great deal. Four new teachers were listed on the faculty that year: Mrs. Vandervoort, Mr. Gill, Mr. Jorgensen, and Mr. Elferdink; they replaced Miss Jordon, Miss Mann, Mr. Parsons, and Mr. Bedinger respectively. We certainly were busy bodies that year. We had to earn money to give the seniors a prom. We certainly “were pleased with the results of our efforts. The gymnasium was decorated to represent a flower garden. There were flowers climbing lattice work, garden seats, rustic benches, and even the stars were shining. It looked almost real. The orchestra added an enchanting touch to the scene. In order to secure enough money to give this prom, we sold candy anti presented a play called, “Guess Again by Glenn Hughes. We did it without the help of the Seniors and the enthusiasm of the audience combined with the proceeds assured us that it was a fine play. Our success was due mainly to the splendid direction of Mr. Gill. Our class officers for the first semester were: President, Mildred Staley; Vice-President, Jim Hinkley; Treasurer, Lois Spaulding; Reporters, Edith Tobias and Ilccn Maynard. For the second semester: President, M'rray Anstiss; Vice-President, Wilma Krug; Secretary, Ileen Maynard; and Treasurer, Bob Sherwood. When we entered school in 1936 as full-fledged Seniors, one of our highest aims had been accomplished. We were very pleased to have Mrs. Crittenden for our sponsor again this year. She is a real trooper and a good sport. This year we had another new teacher, Mr. Hulbcrt, who look Mr. Elfcrdink’s place on the faculty. He is a fine teacher and is especially appreciated by the girls for sponsoring their manual training class. We had our pictures taken in November and got them in December. Everyone was very well pleased. ptiflr ft ft mi Class Prophecy Murray Anstiss—I lard-working manager ol an A. Sc P. Store which lie built at the gates of West Point College.

Signed: Seniors of 1937 pnfjr seven tern Class Poem of 1937 As the Seniors of '57 We stand in determined array; While the gathering twilight of even' Is drawing us slowly away. On the steps of our school where we linger For a few fleeting glimpses so rare. Each |x ints with a sweep of his finger To the joys we’ve been able to share. Through the glass of the doors closed behind us. We see those grand hallways, which led To joy—which but serves to remind us That others will pass in our stead. While we trod them, no happier mortals Ever sipped the sweet nectar of life. Hut standing outside these dear portals. We arc plunged into sadness and strife. Hut we’ve no time for brooding or sorrow. No time for a Nigh nor a tear: For the world which we’ll face tomorrow Credits not for a tear wasted here. Hut s x n draws us into the thickest Where we strive for the top from below. With speed for the willing and quickest And discouraging fall for the slow. Hut what is behind must not matter: With the sweat of our brow we must press To the uppermost round of the ladder, To pluck our sweet rose of success. Now the hour draws near for the parting: We must leave to make way for the new. And while memories backward arc darting. We offer a cheerful adieu. By Forrest Kesterke Reminiscence We’ve journey'd with the tide Four brief years, And now our ships must guide As graduation day draws near. Launched on the sea of life We ll go our various ways— We’ll all have cares and worries too And many pleasant days. Several will drift away to far lands. And some of us will stay at home: We II follow old Dame Fortune. And trust her guiding hand. School days are o’er— And we must say adieu Once more to you— And pledge allegiance stiong To Herricn High.

Stewart Shearer Vice-President _____________ Mary Buckman Treasurer Robert Storick Secretary Grace Zukaus One early September morning back in 1934, that polished group which is now the Junior Class, entered Berrien Springs High School as green and timid as any other Freshman Class. They duly elected officers, had class parties, did the things expected of them and, on the whole, spent a dry and boring year. The following year they returned, much wiser for the previous year. Aside from the fact that they were called Sophomores and decorated for a St. Patrick’s dance, the year passed in much the same manner as the previous one. However, on September 8, 1936, this same group re-entered B. S. H. S., a polished and dignified class. For the first semester Benard Kcsterkc was elected president. During that semester a committee of five selected a class ring, which practically every member of the class now owns. On April 22, the lunior play, “Smoky Treasure, was presented. The cast included Wilda Olney, Huberta Botham, Marjorie Kephart, Jeanette Ewalt, Marian Bowerman, Ethel Nightlinger, Merle Spaulding, Edward Cleveland, Duane Dean, Robert Storick, and Stewart Shearer. Late in May the plans are to give the present Senior Class a prom, the like of which has never been had in the High School Gym. Marjorie Kephart page ticcnty-onc Sophomore Class History Wc started our voyage with Marianne Wolcott at the helm at president.

At the beginning of the first semester wc elected officers. They were: President, Kenneth Sink; Vice-President, Venora Robinson; Secretary, Barbara King; and Treasurer, Junior Gill. We had a Halloween Party at which we passed the parts of a cat around in the dark; there was some screaming. Wc also had a Christmas party at which someone (don't ask me who it was because I don’t know) thought of playing Truth anti Consequences. Many of us were quite embarrassed. At the beginning ol the second semester wc again chose class officers. They were; President, Lawrence Arnette; Vice-President, Fern Spaulding; Secretary, Jack Myers; and Treasurer, Boh Taylor. We wish to express our “Thanks” lor a very pleasant year to Mr. Gill, our sponsor. Arvid Erlandson P'tge twenty-four Seventh Grade Class History When we entered the seventh grade we were looking forward to six years of fun and enjoyment. Well, we have not been disappointed. The first semester we organized a literary club and named it “ I he Pen Society. Our officers were: President, Earle Allred; Secretary, Helen Botham; Treasurer, Harold Richardson; and Reporter, Donald Whetstone. We had meetings every Wednesday. The students contributed pieces of literature which Mr. Gill read to the class, and the person contributing the best one for the week received a prize. For some reason or other our club didn’t last very long. Our class officers for the year were: President, Frances Porter; Vice-President, Earle Allred; Secretary and Treasurer, Shirley Spaulding. We had a Halloween party with our sponsor, Mr. Hulbert. Our club, “The Pen Society,” gave a Christmas party and we all exchanged gifts. We hope to have more years as happy as this one has been.

In order to publish an annual we have been busy trying to earn money. The first semester we presented a play, “Happy-Go-Lucky” by Glenn Hughes. It was an outstanding success anil the gymnasium was crowded both nights. We also sold magazines for the same purpose. Gordon Michael was our star salesman. We were successful in this undertaking, but not so in getting a party from the losing side. Now it is time for us to graduate. None but those who have graduated before us can realize how hard it is. We must leave all our associations and grand times for the underclassmen to enjoy. So it is with heavy hearts, that we leave these beloved schooldays behind us. We hope that in going on, only the pleasant memories and recollections will lie left to those behind us. Geraldine Thomas Class Prophecy — Cont’d DeAlton Personett—I-oca I boy makes good!

They defeated the Alumni in their first game in fine fashion, then slumj)cd for a few games. However, during the latter part of the season, the team seemed to hit its stride and won six out of the last seven games to bring the season’s average up to twelve games won and seven lost. One of the highlights of the season was the defeat of Stevensville, Class I) state champions, 24-23 in a fast and exciting game. Berrien was also on, when they played the top-notch Bridgman team, and defeated them 20-15. In the last game of the schedule, Berrien keyed for revenge and stopped the fast stepping Bucks, 20-16. The first night of the district tournament held at Niles, Berrien played a good game in defeating the highly-tauted Three Oakers 25-16. But the following night they just couldn't seem to get going and were defeated by a good team. New Buffalo, 25-18. The first team will lose two regulars this year, Hinklcy and Sherwood. They will have seven lettermen back next year, around whom the first team will be built. Here’s wishing them a most successful season next year!

Gordon Marsh, mischievous twenty-three-year old son of John and Pauline Marsh, conceives a plan whereby his friend, Tom Jackson, is to (rose as Charlie Meggs, Aunt Stella's convict sweetheart, to cure an absurd idiosyncrasy of hers regarding ex-convicts. Tom mistakes Mrs. Marsh for Aunt Stella. Mrs. Marsh summons help and Tom is forced to flee for his life at the point of the cook’s butcher knife. At this time an Italian baron presents himself and is made proprietor of a group of chain stores in Italy. Though the cook calls him a fake he proves to be the real thing. Tom, through impersonation, becomes an English chain store magnate and saves Mr. Marsh’s novelty business through his investments. Gordon becomes manager of his father’s business and makes plans for marriage. To top it off Uncle Andy breaks everyone’s watches while testing his latest invention, “the safe drop,” and the real Charlie Meggs returns, forever curing Aunt Stella of ex-convicts.

Business meetings are held twice a month and a social meeting is held once a month. Social highlights were the Father and Son Banquet, a progressive supper, and the entertaining of the neighboring chapters of Berrien County with the motion pictures and a travel lecture. Outstanding leaders in Agriculture have given lectures to us at various meetings. Last fall we sponsored the second annual horticultural show which proved a great success, and with the help of our many fruit-grower friends, we hope to put on a better show this coming fall. Besides our own show, exhibits were set up at Benton Harbor, Dowagiac, Three Oaks, and Eau Claire. In December we went to the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. We attended the State Convention at East Lansing during Junior Farmer's Week and entered four judging teams at college. We entered the Berrien County Judging Contest, and managed to eke out two seconds and a third. Each member practices the better methods in Agriculture by carrying out a supervised project program on his own farm. page thirty seven Front Row Madelyn I-ochmaw. llccn Maynard, Margaret Hoopingamer.

When the villagers all had decided To cut down a famous old hickory tree. And started a schoolhouse beside it. ODE TO SPRING As I Mood on the brink of a river. And watched the current below, A spring wind made me shiver As its chilling blast did blow. Those were the days when the hick’ry stick reigned, In the corner, a dunce on a stool. A crack on the hand and each one was trained. And obeyed every bit of the rule. The months and the years have passed quickly away, And knowledge was crammed in each head. A lovelier schoolhouse stands there, and today, The little red schoolhouse is dead. —Bernice Reinhardt A RIVER S JOURNEY Running swiftly, deep, and mighty. Carrying bits of nature; Falling from a mountain brightly To a verdant pasture. Winding in and out so gaily. Flowing under bridges, Housing fish so small and scaly In your waters frigid. Whirlpools, many loves have taken. Boats all go asunder— The quietest soul remains unshaken At your ominous thunder. Round a bend and thru’ a town. Meeting creeks anti brooklets; Ever moving o’er the ground, Happy, carefree, reckless. —Bernice Reinhardt As I stood on the grass in a valley, I he birds warbled pretty and sweet. Singing spring songs, in a valley Of chords no muscian could meet. As 1 stood on one spot in my garden, My heart did with rapture o’erllow. I noted the spring-like ardor Of my plants as they started to grow. And as I was standing there pondering I thought of the Giver of good And it seemed God’s love was wandering. O’er field, thru' forest and wood. —Bernice Reinhardt THE MAGIC OF SPRING a iked one day thru’ a forest, fy soul was throbbing with wrath, appened to spy a bird s nest, I'here a fledgling took in its first breath. • mother was there, anti so tender, ’hat as I spellbound did watch, st every bit of my anger, he magic of spring I had caught. I as I passed on to a meadow, 1,c wind whistled sweet thru the trees, •ft my wrath in the shadows, Ind once more toy soul was at ease. -Bernice Reinhardt page forty-fin Smoky Treasure Mr . Rcnn, a flighty little woman with uncertain business ability, runs Paradise, a summer hotel in the mountains near a small town in New York State, with the assistance of her son, Ben. her daughter, Ruthy, and Annette. Rick, the town bus driver, arrives with a long-delayed telegram from Mrs. Waidey, reserving rooms for herself and her niece. This creates consternation in the Renn Family, since Mrs. Waidey is a former sweetheart of the now-dead Mr. Rcnn. A desire to impress her, leads Mrs. Renn and Ruthy to pose as guests of the hotel, leaving Ben and Annette to run the place. Tom Warren, following the niece, Dorothy, with matrimonial intentions, also arrives and, in the disguise of a colored porter, takes a job to be near her. With the arrival of Mrs. Waitley, in quick order there also come a slick-tongued traveling salesman, Mr. I-cm Munn, who dislikes being called a lemon, and Scrum, an oily man of uncertain business. Matters begin to develop when it becomes known that Mrs. Waitley is bent on philanthropic purposes, the helping of the Renns financially without their knowing the source. To this end, with the help of Tom, she plants a young fortune in the fireplace, to be discovered with the aid of a cryptic message. Matters take the wrong course when the message gets into the hands of Scrum and he tries to make off with the money himself. He is foiled by the watchful Mrs. Waitley and the money eventually gets into the right hands, but not before a number of budding love affairs have developed and blossomed in the midst of the fast and furious action. Ben, after deceiving his sister, temporarily cures her of tormenting him, by impersonating an English Duke in search of a wife. He falls in love with the French girl, Annette, who turns out to be no French maid at all, but the daughter of Rick, the station agent, bus driver, and local constable. Tom, through with his disguise, finally wins Dorothy, who, of course, “knew who he was all the time.” The curtain falls with everyone happy except Scrum, who is headed for his just desserts, and Lem, who decides to peddle his wares elsewhere, shortly after getting out of the local jail. rftfr fort)i-Hi.r Manual Arts Department During the school year 1936-37 there have been tour hoys’ classes and one girls' class in Manual Arts. The girls’ class was organized at the beginning of the second semester and has proved very popular with the seventeen girls enrolled. Their projects have been confined to woodwork and leather work. Work on the metal lathe is increasingly popular with the boys’ classes, even though they find this work slower to do than work on the wood lathe.
