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

Text from Pages 1 - 132 of the 1959 volume:

fORCWORd As the end of the 1958-59 school year approaches, we look back with many memories of another eventful year at Berrien Springs High School. With the passing of a million-dollar bond issue on February 5, 1959, students can look forward to a new high school by the fall of 1960. It is expected that construction will begin in July, 1959. The school will be built on a 30-acre site west of the elementary school and will be large enough to house 600 students with the possibility of expanding for 1,000 students. The new building will contain ample classrooms as well as areas for the agriculture, home economics, industrial arts, commercial, and music departments. The structure is to include a new gymnasium which will make a full boys' and girls' physical education program possible. Sylvester Field will be retained as the athletic field. A cafetorium, a library, expanded administrative offices, and an area for the guidance counselor are also in the plans. On March 17 a Scholastic Achievement Banquet was held to honor members of the National Honor Society, the top ten of the senior class, and all students listed on the semester honor roll. Dr. Russell Seibert, vice-president for academic affairs at Western Michigan University, was the guest speaker for the ocassion, which was planned by the Lee F. Auble Chapter of the National Honor Society. The Shamrock's football team tied for third place in Little Eight competition while the cagers ended the basketball season in fifth place. The basketball team was defeated by Eau Claire in the first game of the District Class C tournaments. The senior band members donned new uniforms in the fall for their appearances at football games and in the marching festival held at Buchanan. In February both the senior and junior bands won first division ratings in the Southwestern Michigan Band and Orchestra Festival. The senior band went on to play in the state contest in Lansing in April. The choir successfully presented the operetta, Down in the Valley, in March. Thespian Troupe 1213 staged two one-act plays in the fall and in May sponsored the junior-senior play, The Skeleton Walks. A successful celebration was held at the homecoming time with a big pep rally and bonfire, a parade through town, the game which was won by Berrien Springs, and a dance at the elementary school. Limelight publication was made on a weekly basis, and one week it was even published every day. As you will notice, the Canoe has been changed considerably this year. It has been increased in size from 104 pages to 108 pages plus a 12-page supplement to be completed in August and which will contain complete coverage of spring sports and activities including graduation. The covers have been padded this year, and each senior has his name engraved on the cover. A completely new page layout has been made to include many more pictures than ever before. We hope you will enjoy this book as you reminisce about the 1958-59 school year at Berrien Springs High School.

The National Honor Society, our high school's newest organization, was formed in May, 1958. Its purpose is to honor those students who show outstanding qualities in character, service, leadership, and scholastic ability. The National Honor Society was founded by the National Association of Secondary School Pincipals thirty-seven years ago. There are now over seven thousand chapters throughout the United States. It was decided by a group of teachers that a society of this type would be beneficial to the school and community. After receiving information on how to form a Society, a committee of five teachers was selected to draw up a constitution and arrange an election of members to the society. The members of this committee are Mrs. Edna Bender, chairman, Mrs. Rosemary Boyer, Mr. Douglas Watson, Mr. Marvin Sounart, and Mr Joseph Jachim. A school must be on the University of Michigan accredited list, and the constitution of the society must be approved by the National Council before a charter is granted. Our Society received charter number 7124 and is officially known as The Lee F. Auble Chapter of the National Honor Society. The committee together with the entire faculty elected twenty members to the society in May, 1958. These students were in the upper third of their class scholasti- cally, and possessed qualities of leadership, character, and service. A student must meet these requirements before he is eligible for election to the society. The students who were elected last May were informed of their election at the Honors Assembly. Each member then received an official National Honor Society pin. These pins were given to the members through the courtesy of the Berrien Springs Teachers Association. The main activity of the society this year was to have a Scholarship Banquet where the top ten of the senior class, the students on the January, 1959, semester honor roll, and the newly-elected members of the National Honor Society were guests of honor. 6 qeRnun The only language that is taught this year is German. In the first year, the students learn the vocabulary of the language, how to write it, and how to speak it. They try to learn about the language as soon as possible, so that they will be able to reach their goal of understanding and speaking the language by the end of the year. In the second year, the students learn about the geography of Germany, and they advance to a more difficult German vocabulary. They try to reach a goal of using the German language to lead an intelligent conversation at the end of the year. In the third year, which will be taught next year, the students will learn an even more difficult vocabulary, and they will try to perfect their speaking and writing abilities. After a student has successfully completed one year of German, he is eligible to join the German Club. In this club he will learn about the culture and geography of the German people. The classes also participate in class discussions that are spoken in German, and they assemble a bulletin board that features the seasons, holidays, geography, and food of Germany. This year the teacher, Mr. King, will travel to Germany with seven boys who will experience first-hand German life. They will live with German families for the entire summer. They will also visit Italy, and other parts of Europe. Mr. King instructing his German II class. L. McBain, G. Vitums looking at poster advertising German movie sponsored by the German Club.

Bender. social studies In the social studies department the following courses are offered: United States history, world history, American government, sociology, and economics. United States history is a required course, which is designed to give the student o knowledge of the development of our country. In world history the student learns how civilization in various countries throughout the world has developed to the present day and how this development has affected our country. American government is another course which all students are required to take. In this course the student learns how our local, state, and national governments operate. Sociology is a course designed to help people grow up emotionally and to understand some of the social problems which they face. At the beginning of the economic course the students learn all the basic laws of economics. After they have learned these laws they discuss various economical issues both on local and national levels. In discussing these problems they see if they can find any particular trend that is being followed or if they can find a solution for the problems. Class activities in these courses include discussion, bulletin boards, and films, which are shown whenever available. S. Spletzer, E. Rudell, R. Italy in world history class.

Kugel point out an area of the United States on a map in American government class. 9 enqLish speech jouRnalism In the freshman year, the student learns the principles of literature and grammar. He reads such stories as The Odyssey and learns to act out plays. In the sophomore year, he continues to use these principles in everyday life. He reads Julius Ceasar and is required to write a term paper so that he can put what he has learned in grammar to actual use. In the junior year, he explores the fine arts of poetry, short stories, creative writing and good music as they are reflected in literature. He then learns to facilitate these fine arts in grammar. In the senior year, he studies mostly English literature from its beginning with Beo-wolf to modern authors like Winston Churchill. He also studies a short survey of the history of England, its affect on literature, and the literature's reflection of the various ages. English Composition is taught mainly to prepare the student for college. He studies vocabulary words on the college level, and he learns to write and speak formally. Speech is a furthering of English principles. The student demonstrates his ability to express individual personality in a creative and interesting way before a group. Journalism deals with, newspaper and printing techniques. The students publish weekly the school paper. The Limelight, in which they apply the fundamentals they have learned. S. Tillman and S. Janke demonstrate the subject-verb relationship to Mr. Swonk, the eleventh grade English teacher. D. Hartline, C. Andrews, E. Disselberger, L. Chesher, P.

Personette. Preparing a panel discussion in speech class. B. Wagner, J. Parrish running off a page for the Limelight in journalism class. D. Lansdale shows an area in eleventh grade English class. mathematics All students who enter our school as freshmen are required to take either general mathematics or algebra. In the general math course the fundamentals of math are reviewed and new fields ore explored. At the end of general math, the students are introduced to simple algebra. A student wishing to major in mathematics takes algebra I his freshman year. In this course, the student is introduced to many new mathematical operations. Negative numbers, powers, and roots are some of the new expressions. Plane geometry is a course designed to help the student learn to reason in logical order. He accomplishes this by thinking through in logical order and proving different statements. (An understanding of the inter-relationship of points and lines in various figures is another thing accomplished in this course). In solid geometry, a student adds a third dimension to plane geometry-the dimension of space, and learns how to find surface areas and volumes of different geometric figures. More complicated problems must also be proved in this course. Solid geometry is a one-semester course. Trigonometry is a one-semester course also and is taken the same year as solid geometry. A student must have a working knowledge of algebra to solve equations in trigonometry. Logarithms are also used to help solve problems which contain long and tedious arithmetic computations. Solving triangles with trigonometric functions is based on the ideas of ratio and proportion. K. Smith, K. Brohman, G. Rockey working on angles with instruments in general mathematics class. Sounart, T. Riland working on algebra I problem. 12 as P. White watches. D. Schinske in background. J. Feather working with graph in plane geometry class. science A student studying science begins his study by taking biology. The biology student becomes acquainted with the various animals and plants. The students also use the biology laboratory where they dissect various animals and learn more about their structure. Field trips are taken whenever possible so that the student may actually see what he has been reading and studying about. If a student desires to further his study in the science field, he then studies physics or chemistry. The high school chemistry class is mainly to acquaint the student with the fundamentals of chemistry in the organic and inorganic fields. The chemistry student also learns how to transfer his ideas and principles into working procedures through his work in the laboratory. The laws and facts of physics are concerned broadly with natural phenomena of inanimate objects in which no chemical change of the object takes place. Physics acquaints the student with the fundamentals of physics. Field trips are taken by both of these classes so the student may see how the principles which he learns in class are applied in modern research and factories. If the student wishes to continue his science education, but not in physics or chemistry, physical science is open to him. In physical science natural laws regarding inanimate objects are studied, and the student does considerable laboratory work so that he may become acquainted with the methods of science. The course attempts to develop an understanding of science, scientific discoveries, and an appreciation of the practical application of these.

Approximately 300 students were enrolled in the courses available. In general business thirty students met each day to study insurance, investment, banking and check writing, thrift, and wise buying principles. In beginning typing class one hundred students learned the fundamentals of typewriting. They set their typing goal 50 NWPM, which was to be reached at the end of the year. In the advanced typing class fifty students studied typewriting more comprehensively and learned to type such business papers as inter-office memoranda, telegrams, invoices. Azograph masters, and stencils. They tried to reach a typing goal of 60 NWPM. In shorthand I thirty-five students studied the basic principles of shorthand and attempted to reach a writing speed of 60 to 80 words a minute. In shorthand II fifteen students learned to write shorthand at a rapid speed and to transcribe their notes on the typewriter. They had a much higher writing speed of 100 to 120 words a minute as their goal. The twenty-five girls who were enrolled in office practice learned how to operate the various office machines correctly. In addition they completed a filing unit and o number of other units designed to acquaint them with office procedures. Thirty-five students were enrolled in bookkeeping where they studied the bookkeeping fundamentals. The purpose of this course is to provide a better understanding of the fundamental bookkeeping cycle and to provide the student with informational business terminology. It also provides a knowledge of accounting and prepares the student for college. Advanced typists at work. D. Fisher, L. Huckabee practice shorthand. 16 C. Odiornne, A. Grayam, T.

At the start of the freshman year the student has an opportunity to join the local chapter of the ''Future Farmers of America, in which he learns better farming through the study of floriculture, livestock, field crops, farm management, and farm mechanics. The Agriculture II student studies the many facets of livestock raising; he also receives a small amount of training in farm mechanics. In Agriculture III and IV, which is composed of juniors and seniors, the student is offered a complete course in farm crops. In it the students learn all about the different field crops and about the different diseases which are involved. The course changes to farm management in alternate years. Farm mechanics is also offered to this group, along with generous training in welding, carpenter, and concrete work.

Prillwitz, B. Naragon discuss farm problem. home economics Home economics I consists of seventh, eighth, and ninth graders. The seventh grade class meets three days a week for twelve weeks. The eighth grade class meets one day a week for the full school year. These classes are taught units in beginning foods, clothing, home nursing, child care, and good grooming. Home economics II consists of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. There are two c|asses—one meets in the morning for an hour and the other meets in the afternoon for an hour and a half. These classes are taught how to construct blouses and dresses, how to fit patterns, the proper pattern lay-out, cutting, altering, and pin basting. They are also taught units in food nutrition, luncheon-type food preparation, menu and market planning, and dating and social habits. Home economics III is composed of junior and senior girls who have had home economics I and II. They are taught units in meats, yeast breads, fruit pies, complicated types of desserts, well-balanced menus, consumer buying for the home, household wares, marriage and family problems, and sewing. This year, because of the large number of girls interested in home economics, a home economics IV class is being taught. This class deals with problems in marriage and family life, food preparation and sewing. All of these home economics have a Christmas unit in which they are taught the different types of meals, decorations, and gift wrappings that are appropriate for the Christmas season. M.

Drafting I is taught mainly to acquaint the student with the basic principles of mechanical drawing. He learns proper techniques in sketching and lettering, and learns how to draw various geometric constructions and projections. In drafting II the student advances from geometric constructions to more involved constructions. He learns how to take many different view points and observe the object from all angles. He also learns the little details of fine drawing, different methods of drawing objects, and the technical terms and what they mean. In drafting III, the students learn to read blueprints, estimate qualities of materials, and the details of home construction. At the end of the year, they draw complete plans of a house. As these students advance from year to year, their drawings become more than just copying from the book, for they must first analyze them. In the industrial arts department, the students learn how to work with wood and other types of difficult materials. This year for the first time, the junior high had a class in shop, and they met for two days a week, during which time, they made such projects as telegraph keys. In the more advanced classes of shop, the boys make toboggans, meat tenderizers, and picnic forks. The arts and crafts class worked with leathers and for the first time, also worked with wood. They made such things as jewelry, leather goods, and wood products. For any high school students who are interested in art, one course is offered. It includes such activities as drawing, painting, carving sand blocks and soap, and metal designing. Much of the work in this class is done on an individual basis. R. Engel drawing floor plan in advanced drafting. Mr. Koetsier helping D. Johnson with drawing on graph paper in first year drafting. C. Andrews, E. Stover watch.

There are two classes of driver education, which meet twice a week for class periods and once a week for road class. In the classroom the student studies the various parts of the car, good and bad driving habits, laws of nature that affect driving, and the safety that should be exercised in operating an automobile. In the road class the student puts his classroom studies to use. He is taught how to properly start, operate, and stop an automobile. He is accompanied by a teacher and some of his classmates. He also learns the parts of the car, how to handle emergency situations, and how to be safe and courteous in his highway driving. The automobile that is used for the student's road class is a dual-controlled, automatic-transmission car which was purchased from Don Sprung Chevrolet Company last fall. P. Metz, L. Huckabee are ready to leave for road instruction with Mr. Burgett. Mr. Griffen giving instructions to E. Zielka, S. Spletzer in driver education road class. R. Schinkel, V. Hass, R.

DePoy going through a hula hoop as D. Metz holds it. L. Sunday going over a pyramid. He made it! The physical education program here is somewhat limited because of inadequate facilities and the lack of an instructor for the senior high girls. The senior high boys' gym classes meet four days of the week in the gym and one day for a health class. Junior high students meet twice a week. These classes participate in tumbling, calisthenics, and active games such as basketball, football, soccer, volley ball, etc. The boys also do some military marching in their classes. Girls' gym classes, which consist of junior high girls only, are held twice a week. The girls also participate in a number of different games such as basketball, volley ball, softball, etc. They have various exercises which they do, and they also have instruction in health and safety. Our physical education classes are conducted not for the sole purpose of playing basketball and baseball everyday but to help develop the students' muscular coordination. The students learn how to get along with their fellow classmates and share with them. Beside learning muscular co-ordination, the students learn how to keep their bodies in good physical condition by exercising them. Pyramid building and tumbling are an interesting phase of the boys physical education program. Seventh grade girls physical education class playing volley ball. Basketball is a very popular game in the physical education classes. music In the senior high school the instrumental and vocal program consists primarily of the senior band and the choir which meet regularly as classes. Students enrolled in either group receive full credit for each year. From these larger groups a number of smaller groups such as the vocal quintet, the brass sextet, and the pep band have been formed. The senior band consists of sixty-eight members. Some of the band's activities this past year were presenting concerts, performing at our home football games, participating in the district marching contest, and playing in the district band and orchestra festival. Special project for the band this year was the purchase of their new uniforms. They presented a special Thank-you concert in which they expressed their thanks to the people of the community for their contributions toward the purchase of these uniforms. The band, together with the chior, presented a Christmas Assembly program. The choir sang at the county contest. County Hospital, Blossom Queen contest; and they also presented a winter concert. One of the choir's special project was going to see the stage play, My Fair Lady, in Chicago. The choir's main activity of the year was presenting the operetta, Down In The Valley. Members of the Twin City Symphony Orchestra, along with some of the senior band members, provided the instrumental background for the operetta. All the scenery for the operetta was made by chior members. 26 D. Stover paints fence as H. McLaughlin and L. Phillips bring more scenery for operetta.

These members are wearing their new band uniforms. junioR high Basically the junior high school operates on the homeroom plan. Each section of each grade has its own homeroom teacher. The sixth, seventh, and eighth grades have three sections each. The sixth grade sections have a complete program within their own rooms with outside assistance in art, music, and gym. The seventh grade operate in a similar fashion except that they have two periods in the morning when they alternate gym, music, art, shop, and home economics with their regular homeroom studies. The eighth grades alternate classes for one period in the morning with vocal music blended in at opportune moments in the afternoon. Junior high people who are members of the senior band are grouped in one section and go to senior band the first period after lunch. The Junior band meets at 2:15 each day with individual members going to practice sessions according to their own schedules. This year a group of junior high students have started publication of a weekly newspaper. News Flasher, under the direction of Mr. Robert Sill. Some of the junior high students have become interested in the game of chess, and they spend many noon hours playing chess. The junior high News Flasher Staff. These boys concentrate on winning chess games during the noon hour. Studying geography. 28 Mr. Jachim assists sixth grade boys in the use of an electric drill.
