Five S in MEMGRIES Let's leaf back through old rnem'riesg it's surprising what we'1l find. Let's gather up our old dreams and not leave one behind. Let's probe real deep into the past-renew a memory. Let's look back on our school days and-oh no-it couldn't be- Were we those silly Freshmen, so innocent and shy? VV' ere we the ones who blushed and grinned at Seniors passing by? Were we the ones who vowed that we would try so hard to learn? Were we the ones who made all those mistakes at every turn? Was it we whom everyone could tell by just the way we gawked? Was it we whom everyone could tell by just the way we talked? And then a strange thing happened-we were women, we were men. We were great big noted Sophomores who had lost that Freshman grin Were we the ones who tried to act as though we knew the score? Were we the ones who always tried to act so very old? Were we the ones who tried to be so dangerous and bold? lt wasn't long, however, 'till another year did pass, And soon we were the polished members of the Iunior class. We laughed atiunderclassmen--could we have been that funny? We wondered at the Seniors-always wantin' money. We worked, and slaved and worried-always on the run. We had our griefs and problems-but gee! We had such fun. And now we're full-pledged Seniors: we've finished our four years. We've lost, we've won, yet never quit: we've had our smiles and tears. Remember not so long ago-we had our first romance: We struggled through those tough exams, We Went to our first dance, We played in our first ball game: we planned the annual prom: We took a stab at acting and tried so to be calm. And now it's all a memory--graduation day is here. Our hearts are filled with sadness, gladness, wonderment and fear. But in this great big world of ours, we're goin to rise and shine. lust watch us and we'll prove it-our class of '49, -Ierry Ely COLORS FLOWER Blue and White For-get-me-nots MOTTO To find gold-dig!

W N fx Q - L WARREN WALKER -BOB TROPP ln September the Iuniors returned to old Berrien I-ligh full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Coach Nothstine was again chosen as sponsor. Bob Tropp was elected as official gavel wielder for the first semester and Shirley Grose was elected vice- president. Financially-minded Warren Walker was entrusted with the funds and Barbara Brigham was selected to take down the minutes. Since Barbara Prillwitz usually was aware of the happenings, she was given the job of reporter. The first activity of the class was a dance after a football game: a good crowd was in attendance. The sale of magazines occupied any spare time the Iuniors had. Two teams were chosen and the losers gave a roller skating party at Central Docks for the winners. A total of 33350.00 was realized. The next activity, the biggest event of the year, was the annual Hillbilly Iamboree. This year the Starlighters Orchestra played square and round dances after a stage show featuring home talent. The dance was a huge success and a grand time was had by all. At the beginning of the second semester the class election was held and because ol the fine job Warren Walker had done as treasurer, he was elected president. Bob Tropp was elected vice-president. Barbara Prill- witz was selected as treasurer and Barbara Brigham re-elected secretary. Dale Sunday became reporter. The Iunior play, The Boarding House Reach, directed by Mr. Nothstine, was presented April 7 and 8. The Prom was held at Grande Vista on May 6. lst Row: I. Adams, B. Boal, A. Brunke, B. Brigham. A.

Ruth Heimbuch acted as secre- tary, Russell Smith as treasurer and the following as reporters: Phil Lindt, Helen Wilson, and Maxine Stock. The first event sponsored by the class was a roller skating party. Next was the Christmas dinner and program.

Ice Cream cups were sold to the students to raise funds and green and white beanies were sold at basketball games to boosters oi the team. A party was given in honor of the Senior class featuring a box social and dancing. The school picnic terminated an eventful year for the Sophomores of '49. lst Row: D. Berkholtz, M. Bradford, C H.

Their interests are many, their willingness to co-operate is above average. These young people have organized their own cheer-leading club, chess club, and at one time promoted the publication of an eighth grade newspaper. This paper eventually became a sheet in the Limelight called the Iunior High Whats Up. They had an up-and-coming Iunior High Basketball squad that won seven of eight contests played, losing only to Fairplain on the home iloor. This team will furnish some first-rate material in Dale Whetstone, Roy Prillwitz, Iack Thierback, Ronald Lucas, Robert Guettler, Charles Clark and others to the high school team next year. The large majority of this group will do much to add to the good record of Berrien Springs High School in the next few years. Top Row: I. Pudell. F. Revell. B. Robinson, G. Roslawski, H. Schmall, L.

Clem The 1949 Football season, according to Coach Noths- tine, was not as successful as the number of returning letter men, mostly Seniors, would have indicated. Having lost only two good players, Dick Chamberlin and Bill Burdick, irom the 1947 team, Berrien Springs Shamrocks with ten Seniors was expected to be a contender for the Little Eight League trophy. The material on hand was experienced and of good size, but they could not seem to produce the points for a winning season-they lost five and won three for a .375 season average. The team lost three games by one touchdown. There is great potential material in the Freshman Class. Last year sixteen Freshmen were out and showed some fine talent in the live games they played. Shcmrccks will be in the winning column again. The 1949 season will be the second year for the Shamrocks in the Little Eight Conference and since they tied with Watervliet for third place in 1948, there should be a steady improvement in the next two years. The 1949 schedule is as follows: September St. Ioe Ponies H September Coloma T October Bangor H October Vlfatervliet T October Hartford H October Decatur T New Buffalo T Another year's experience for that group and thei- 'iNovember 4 Twenty-nine The 1949 track squad under the able leadership of L. W. Wilson has a nucleus of 13 returning lettermen. They include King and Ste-inhilber in the 22Oy Sunday, Caulpetzer and Murphy in the low hurdles: Reinebold and Brohrnan in the 4405 Warsco in the 880: Wilson, Fay, and Rowe in the mile: Smith and Weber in the high jump and broad jumpp and Dilley in the pole vault.

Thirty Baseball for the 1949 Shamrocks will be played under lights at Berrien Springs and with a nucleus of good material back from the 1948 squad the Shamrocks should live up to their past performances or even do better.

Regulars back from 1948's squad are the following: Ralph Locke, Don King, ' Chuck Reinebold, Dale Sunday, Allen Cable, Don Steinhilber, Dale Warsco, Russell Smith, Graham Kolberg, Dick Ewalt, Bob Henderson, and Iunior Reitz. The team lost its pitching staff of Huss and Spaulding, but have some good prospects. 0 Coach Nothstine says the squad should improve as the season advances and give Berrien Springs fans some good games. . Thirty-one I B H T B H L L Thirig Jr. Lliuh The Berrien Springs Iunior High Basketball team, coached by Lloyd Nothstine, consisting of seventh and eighth grade boys was one of the outstanding highlights of the Winter season at Berrien Springs. Including tournament play the Iunior tcam had a season's record of 12 Wins and 2 defeats. Both defeats Were by Fair- plain. The Iunior Hi Tournament at Berrien Springs was top of the Iunior Hi session. Eight teams competed and the Shamrocks Were edged out of first place by Fairplain, 18-21. Boys that the Berrien Springs bas- ketball fans should watch in the next three or four years include Dale Whetstone, Ron Lucas, Glenn Briggs, Charles Clark, Iack Thierbach, and Roy Prillwitz. Roy made the first all-tournament team in the Iunior High Tournament. The tournament was considered a success by all fans and also by the competing schools-New Troy, Three Oaks, New Buffalo, G-alien, Baroda, Stevensville, Fairplain, and Berrien Springs. lt is hoped thai Berrien will be able to promote another Junior Hi Tournament in 1950. Resewes The Berrien Springs High School Reserve team racked up a 9 Won and 5 lost season in scheduled play. The 5 losses were to Stevensville, Bridgman, Buchanan, and New Buffalo. Five cf the high scorers included Don Steinhilber with 132 points: Duane Wregglesworth, lO6: Chuck Lindt, 68, Dean Quick, 605 and George Smith, 30.

The season was one of ups and downs with the Varsity displaying alternately good and bad basketball. For the first time in Berrien County Basketball the Sham- rocks took the Holiday Tourna- ment, December 28, 29 and 30, bringing home the champion- ship trophy. Another highlight of the sea- son Was the Bridgman game on lanuary 7, the Chiefs really scalped their rivals from Bridg- man to the tune of 56-33. Liberal use of reserves kept the final score from becoming greater. Seven Seniors concluded their Varsity careers this year --- Weber, Dilley, Caulpetzer, King, Locke, Wilson and Be-inebold. Tlzirty-four Reinebold was the only starter from the previous season and his Work was invaluable during the year. The others all con- tributed greatly to the success of this campaign. Bob Weber was the leading scorer of the squad with 248 in 2l games. He Was followed by Dilley C1601 King fl21J, Enders GOOD, Reine- bold 4715, Sunday i67l. Durinq the course of the sea- son the Shamrocks scored a total of 837 points as againsts their opponents 732. Though Berrien is losing sev- en men from the Varsity Squad, the prospects for next year ap- pear bright. A good reserve squad will furnish Varsity ma- terial to supplement such men a s E n d e r s, Wregglesworth, Smith, Sunday, and Steinhilber. High hopes are held for next season by Coach Emerich. Thirty-five 'C SOFTBALL The girls of Berrien High have shown much interest in softball. They practiced hard last spring to work up a good team. Many girls Vied for positions on the team: the squad consisted of the following girls: Pitchers Barbcra Prillwitz, Sal Enders Catchers Sal Enders, Shirley Streight, Mary Koebel lst Base Alice Ze-ch, Shirley Gros-e . Znd Base Gerry Newman 3rd Base Mary Koebel, Marietta Cable Short Stop Shirley Grose, Alice Zech Left Field Bev l-lickerscn, Ellen Brohman Center Field Mercedes Weaver, Bonnie Miller Right Field M. Cable, D. Vorrath The girls played only one game because many schools do not have a girls' softball team. The score was New Buffalo 13-Berrien 9. VOLLEYBALL The girls' volley ball teams were organized early in the Fall. At first the game seemed dull to some of the girls, but after practicing all of September and October, their enthusiam was awakened and a schedule for tournament games between third-hour gym class and eigth-hour gym ensued. Mary Koebel was chosen as eighth hour Captain and Clara Radde acted as Captain for the third hour team. The teams were named LiVewires and Stinkers respectively. The schedule and scores were as follows: Stinkers Livewires November 9 15 11 November ll 6 21' November ll ll 21 Top Row: S. Streight. L. Schmall. N. Poyser. S. Brant. M. Stovall. C. Streiqht. L.

Audrey Ne-idlinger, a Freshman playing guard, made the starting line-up and proved to be a very handy girl for getting rebounds and snatching the ball. Another Freshman, Nancy Poyser, played on the first team as a reserve forward. Of the beginning six Barbara Prillwitz, Eleanor Weine, Shirley Streight played as forwards: and Shirley Grose, Mercedes Weaver, and Audrey Neidlinger were guards. Bar- bara Prillwitz, an unusual player because of her antics on the floor and her keen sight. sunk 87 points averaging nearly ll points a game. Shirley Streight was second totaling 52 points to her credit and Eleanor Weine fellowed with 31. The team won six of its eight games, losing two games by a narrow niargin to New Buffalo.

Other minor injuries such as finger riail scratches and floor burns were suffejed by all and were, of course, in zvitable. Rosemary Beitz was the girls' manager and did a gecd job of tagging after the team and serving gum before games. The girls bought green and white satin jackets and were surprised te receive them before the season closed. The last scheduled game was with Benion I-larber High School March 15. Benton Harbor bowed out with l8 points to the Shamrockettes 22. The team regrets to lose its five Senior members: Mary Kcebel, Marian Stovall and Ierry Ely who played guard, and Eleanor Weine and Doris Prillwitz, forwards. The season was terminated officially by a banquet at Miss Skinner's home for all first team squad members. Tllirly-eight .AVF vi QW Fm, Win! Ning.,-.0 ,-f' W N X 5 A 14- v.

Our first job was drawing up a constitution so that We could outline the activities of the council. We did this work with the old Berrien Springs Constitution and by using the constitution from other schools as samples. lt was decided that we needed two committees, one the noon hour committee, and the other, the assembly committee. The noon hour committee, with Mr. Noggle as faculty advisor and Marion Stovall as chairman, planned the noon hour activities. The assembly committee had Mr. Chance as faculty advisor and Margaret Fisher as chairman. This committee planned all student council assemblies. h emester from all the grades Later two deputies were elected for eac s in the high school building.

Guettler BAND The band has welcomed many new- comers this year, who have filled out its instrumentation and made a more balanced organization. For the first time since it has been organized, the band has drawn its membership from the high school building only: and the grade school has formed an instru- mental group by itself. The high school group was awarded the challenge trophy of the Youth Fair designating it as the outstanding stunt band of Berrien County. Typical of this year's progress is a new music room, with needed facilities for instru- ment and music storage and additional equipment which will help Berrien High to build a fine organization. The band contributed its services throughout the year at parades, pep meetings,- assemblies, football and bas- ketball games. Concerts were held for students and adults of this community. IWIRLERS The baton twirlers progressed a great deal this past winter. There were five twirlers-Audrey Neidlinger, Shirley Brant, Ianis Zerby, Donna Shriver, and Ernestine Smith. These girls attended twirling contests at LaPaz, Indiana: Syracuse, Indiana: New Carlisle, Indiana: N ew Troy, Michigan: Bangor, Michigan: and Three Oaks, Michigan. At least two of them placed at each contest. The twirlers performed at football games, basketball games and Hal- lowe'en and Memorial Day parades. Forty-seven L . E . E . c . L 1 U . Forty-eight .

Volunteers were sought at the beginning of the basketball season and about twenty-five boys and girls responded. - The club's most important function was to usher at basketball games and assembly pro- grams. The volunteer ushers greatly reduced the confusion at the games under the general directions of Mr. A. H. Lange. Forty-'nine THE FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Berrien Springs Chapter of the Future Farmers of America, under the supervision of Mr. A. H. Lange, had a very successful year as an agriculture class. There were about forty members enrolled in the F.F.A. The members of this organization had various projects to carry through- out the school year. The Chapter helped the boys get started in swine by giving them pure-bred registered Hampshire hogs. They were also given bees on a percentage basis. The F.F.A. had scrap drives and garden seed sales to raise money so the members could take trips to different parts of the country to see their type of farming. The Barn Dance, May Pole Dance, F.F.A. Game Supper, the Parent and Son Banquet and Basketball games with other chapters were part of the recre- ation during the year. Two delegates were sent to the State Convention of the Future Farmers of America. Several boys were also sent to the F. F. A. Leadership Training Camp at Madron Lake. This year officers Were as follows: President, Earl Brohman, Vice-President, Bob Hildebrand: Secretary, Dick Ewaltp Treasurer, Graham Kolbergp Reporter, Franklin Klutts.

Because the gymnasium was under construction, the election was held at the football field. The Cheerleaders selected included two Seniors-Ierry Ely, and Eleanor Weinep three Iuniors-Barbara Brigham, Shirley Streight, and Wanda Skinner: one Freshman-Sheila Gerard. This year the Chreeleaders organized a Cheerleaders' Club. The Club sponsored a basketball game in March. The game featured the Faculty vs. the Lions Club. The proceeds were spent for new uniforms for the Cheerleaders of next year. The girls had new uniforms for football this year. They were green slacks and white sweaters. The basketball uniforms were short white corduroy dresses trimmed in green with a large green sharnrock on the full skirt. Wanda Skinner, who was afflicted with appendicitis was not able to cheerlead this year with the group.

The class was composed oi twelve members, seven seniors and tive juniors. It made a hard-working group. A schedule was set up by the class and was followed thoughout the year. The Limelight staff published a four or six page edition each week with eight page editions on special occasions. The class this year visited the local paper, the Iournal Era , and also the South Bend Tribune. In this manner the class compared the work of a weekly and a daily paper. The Limelight was a weekly paper which was published every Friday. The paper was presented tree to all Student Association members. Every member of the class liked his work in the lournalism class, and enjoyed making a contribution to this school activity. Fif ty- thrcf. Carol Bareiieli ........ . Aurora Mary Cratt .....

The Latin group or Classics has no organized club but because of mutual interests and the compatibility among the two classes, many activities transpired throughout the school year. The group Went caroling at Christmas, singing songs both in Latin and English. . The motion picture, The Last Days of Pompeii, was presented by the Latin groups to an all-student assembly in Ianuary. Each April the Classics sponsor a Roman Banquet for themselves and for the former Latin students. The menu includes favorite Roman dishes. Students and guests lie on mats at the table and slaves bring tocd at the clap of a hand. Last year after the banquet, an interesting parody on the story of Pyramus and Thisbe was presented with Chuck Reinebold as the gallant and undaunted Pyramus and lack Adams filling in as a rather ' traught lover, Thisbe. This year the classe emaciated, dis- s adopted Roman names or names ot gods. Fifty-four L N7'!lXl xCrOLD?X 9 V Founn 111 14133 I f BERRIEN SPRINGS HIGH i l tt ,,...
